Social media is a major component of the Internet and has already transformed how humans communicate and interact. Looking to take things to the next level, a few projects are trying to combine social media with the blockchain.
Blockchain-based social media platform Steemit has gained quite a following in the past few months. The project was built by Daniel Larimer, the founder of Bitshares, using graphene architecture. The company is also led by Ned Scott, who is a technical analyst with a background in financial data.
Steemit launched in March 2016 with moderate enthusiasm from the community and a small following. It has since been a hot topic in cryptocurrency circles and social media.
During the summer, Steemit attracted a lot of artists, writers, and vloggers to the platform because it pays people for sharing content. People have been paid thousands of dollars per post in some instances, with the most popular articles netting close to $15,000 USD.
Steem Power gives users the ability to throw their weight around on the platform. The more power you have, the more significant your vote will be when you upvote a post or even a comment. Comments have been seen to be upwards of $20-40, so all interaction is rewarded.
Steem is a token that powers two smart contract protocols similar to Ether's gas, and is tradable on cryptocurrency markets. The token is supported on exchanges like Bittrex or Poloniex. However, holders also have the option to use their coins to boost their Steem Power..
Steem Dollars are designed to be pegged to $1 USD and be the equivalent of one dollar's worth of Steem for conversion over the platform. On cryptocurrency exchanges, SBD's can be seen trading for a dollar or less depending on the current market value. So, in essence, it makes more sense to use the system's seven-day conversion over a third-party exchange, though lots of people cash out their content earnings elsewhere.
Steemit developers has just announced the addition of highly-requested features to the site. The services will enhance the social media experience by adding private messaging, notifications, and follow buttons. The team believes implementing these new features will facilitate interaction between community members and attract new people currently using Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Enhancing the diversity of our application-specific blockchain is a natural progression for Steemit. Private messaging is perfectly suited for a decentralized system and will empower users in a similar way to how direct messages empower users on Twitter. The 'follow' feature will enable community members to receive notifications as soon as their favorite authors post, and the notifications will work just like Facebook in that users will be alerted immediately upon a new post or upvote from their favorite contributors. These features are the pillars of current social media giants and we look forward to integrating them into Steemit over the coming weeks.
Steemit's popularity has attracted quite a few well-known people to share content over the platform, including personalities like Trace Mayer, Larken Rose, Charlie Shrem, Roger Ver, Tatiana Moroz and Rick Falkvinge. Some of these famous users regularly take in four figures for introducing themselves, writing stories, and posting video and podcast content.
However, there have been some naysayers who believe the project is a scam, or resembles somewhat of a ponzi. Brave New Coin contributor and bitcoin technical analyst Tone Vays says Steemit appears to be a ponzi scheme. Vays highlighted many points on why he believes the platform is set up like a pyramid scam. He even debated the issue on the Dollar Vigilante's podcast, Anarchast. Many people are waiting to see if the project can continue to hold its own, keep up its significantly large payouts, and ultimately survive as a social media platform with perks.
Soon Steemit won't be the only blockchain-based social media platform on the market. Tel-Aviv-based Synereo, founded by Dor Konforty and Greg Meredith, also aims to create a decentralized social media protocol.
The team has recently announced a prototype of the Synereo platform, which is in its alpha phase and works on top of the software's distributed stack.
With Synereo's blockchain-based social network, the protocol puts content creators in charge of the media they produce — just like Steemit. Users control their personal information and produce content that can be monetized within the Synereo community.
Unlike Twitter or Facebook, the Synereo application doesn't store data on its users and cannot sell the information to third-parties. Instead, the platform works through transactions on the Synereo blockchain and is only available to network participants.
The Synereo social media network will operate without any central server, and will compensate its user base for their content and shared computational power. The team also says that the project "adheres to principles of the attention economy" that in essence rewards network users for creation and curation.
The platform includes text posting, image posting, content labeling, taggable posts and hashtags, decentralized searching and content amplification. Users will also be able to promote content by charging with the Synereo blockchain's native currency, AMP. Users viewing content loaded with AMP will be compensated, encouraging people to interact with amplified content.
During last week's developer and community hangout, the Synereo team talked about its recent joint venture with wewowwe.com.
The wewowwe.com project has now API functionality and is able to work with outside networks, so that users can now be compensated automatically with AMPs for their contributions to their social network.—Also the components of the Synereo ecosystem are starting to converge and reveal a detailed picture of its capability.
Will Centralized Social Media Fall to the Wayside?
Platforms like Facebook and Twitter are still the prominent social media applications everyone uses. The mechanics of these websites are very much centralized, as third-parties benefit from users' content, targeted ads, and personal information.
Meanwhile, other social media services like Diaspora, TSU and others haven't been able to grasp widespread attention on par with the reception received by Steemit so far.
Given the rising popularity of Steemit, the next generation of social media will make it easier to monetize content, resist censorship and provide users with a true peer-to-peer experience. It may be a few years until Facebook loses its supremacy the way MySpace did, but the trend towards decentralization and better security will ensure that users do not only retain their privacy, but also share in the spoils of their online community.
What do you think about the state of social media and projects like Synereo, and Steemit, changing the way we interact with these platforms? Let us know in the comments below.

must hold a current practising certificate in assessing specific learning difficulties issued by their relevant professional association, for example, PATOSS (the Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties), Dyslexia Action or the British Dyslexia Association.
A Practising Certificate is one which recognises not only professional achievement but also a commitment to continuing professional development (CPD). Practising Certificates have to be renewed on a regular basis. Therefore those wishing to hold or renew a Practising Certificate will be required to demonstrate this commitment by showing how they have regularly updated their professional skills and competence through study, professional discussion, training and practice. The Practising Certificate for Specialist Teachers should not be confused with the Practising Certificate issued by the British Psychological Society to Chartered Psychologists or Health Professions Council Registration.
In recent years the demand for diagnostic assessments of specific learning difficulties has grown considerably. Assessments are increasingly needed for specific purposes such as determining the right to Access Arrangements in examinations and the eligibility for the Disabled Student Allowances. As the demand for assessments has grown, more professionals with qualifications in assessment of specific learning difficulties either as psychologists or as specialist teachers have become involved in this field. As a result of this, pressure for effective monitoring of standards in assessment has grown – both from those bodies such as the DfES or the Joint Council who use assessment reports to make important decisions and from within the professions themselves.
Continuing Professional Development is an essential ingredient to maintaining and extending your professional knowledge and skills. The CPD you undertake helps to keep you abreast of current research fields, changes in practice and new developments. SASC has issued the guidance to encourage the development of assessment and reporting skills.
To count towards meeting CPD requirements, the activity should be at an appropriate level and contribute to an SpLD assessor's general professional skill and knowledge. Time claimed for each activity should be realistic; time attributed to attendance at courses should not include the organised breaks (e.g. lunch hours); routine work is not considered to be CPD. Full details of requirements and the range of CPD activities that could contribute to your relevant CPD can be found in 'SASC Guidelines on Continuing Professional Development' in the downloads area of the website.
5 hours CPD, which may not have an assessed element, each year.
SASC recommends some of this be mentoring so new assessors can have an opportunity for focused work relating to developing their individual assessment and reflective practice. For 1st time renewals, 10 hours of the SASC authorised element of this CPD should be other than updates on Access Arrangements.
The whole assessment has been observed (in person or via video recording /video link) within the context of an accredited training course by a supervising tutor or registered placement supervisor who is fully qualified to conduct assessments.
The qualified supervising tutor or work placement supervisor has observed the full assessment (in person or via video recording/video link), reviewed the report and ensured that the report meets the appropriate standards set by SASC.
The qualified supervising tutor or placement supervisor signs the report, giving their APC number or HCPC registration and contact details. The trainee assessor's name is required on the report but the report is submitted by the qualified supervising tutor/placement supervisor.
The details are provided of the course on which the trainee is enrolled at the time the assessment was conducted.
For the avoidance of doubt, SASC is now requiring specific wording to be used to confirm trainees' reports are used only where the trainee is actively enrolled on an authorised course leading to an Assessment Practising Certificate or HCPC certification.
The APC renewal process offers an opportunity both for individual professional development through feedback on assessment reports and for issuing bodies to support the overall aim of the APC scheme to improve assessment practice standards. These criteria also apply where a report is required in the initial application for an Assessment Practising Certificate.
In order to bring practice up to date, following a review and recommendations of assessor bodies, SASC has updated the guidance on our report proforma and the criteria for reviewing assessor reports. Revised guidance on both these areas [issued 19 October 2015] is downloadable from the SASC website.
Renewal of an APC depends upon successful completion of a CPD log and production of an effective assessment report. Defining "effective" can be problematic and current guidance is very broad. We believe it is important that all bodies who undertake to review APC applications apply a consistent standard and adopt a consistent policy in their response. Therefore, we propose the following brief structure and feedback process as a framework for all issuing bodies to adopt.
Important Note: Underlying all these guidelines would be the experience and professionalism of those undertaking the reviews. Reviews must be holistic and consider the overall aim of the APC to approve high-quality assessment reports alongside offering positive support to professional colleagues.
· A description of the standard for all "effective" assessment reports.
· ability to produce professional, accurate reports written in language easily accessible to non-specialists, with due regard to building a positive framework.
Areas of the report where absolute accuracy and reliability is required at all times.
Key areas of the report where very high degrees of reliability required. We would expect all reports to demonstrate these features.
· The report must be appropriate for purpose.
Areas where the key purpose and function of the report are not compromised but where improvement would be desirable.
· Reference to and inclusion of a current and relevant definition of identified SpLD is given.
practice is in accordance with the APC issuing body's code of ethics and standards of practice.
D Level 2 or 3 weaknesses identified which do not undermine overall standard of report.
Please Note: Second submitted report is evaluated using same criteria. If this report also fails to meet the standard, and evidence of level 1 or 2 errors exists, the APC application is refused.
Re-applications not to be considered within 2 months.

Q: How to timeout a href? I am using two function on same element, one is AJAX for saving picture and second is prettyPhoto ajax for dispaying that picture here is example
THIS is EVENT
>  onMouseDown="javascript:capture();"
> href="xhr_response.php?ajax=true&width=1100&height=482"> src="img/assets/zoom2.png">

Here i initalize prettyPhoto
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({ social_tools:false, });
});

Here is my capture function to save image
function capture() {
    $('#zoomTarget').html2canvas({
        onrendered: function (canvas) {
            var url = "ajax.php";
            var imgSrc = canvas.toDataURL();
            $.post(url, {contentVar: imgSrc } ,function(data) {});
        }
    });
}

All is working nice, but the problem is that i need some time to save image, and prettyPhoto is loading image so fast, this means, that proper image is not loaded on first time when user click in element, need time to same image, on second or on third time proper image is showing ok, how to prevet prettyPhoto to wait to image to be saved?
and here is ajax.php
$contentVar = $_POST['contentVar'];
$filteredData=substr($contentVar, strpos($contentVar, ",")+1);

//Decode the string
$unencodedData=base64_decode($filteredData);

//Save the image
file_put_contents('img.png', $unencodedData);

A: Reload image in callback function of saving image:
function capture() {
    $('#zoomTarget').html2canvas({
        onrendered: function (canvas) {
            var url = "ajax.php";
            var imgSrc = canvas.toDataURL();
            $.post(url, {contentVar: imgSrc }, function(data) {
                // load new image here
                // ??? xhr_response.php?ajax=true&width=1100&height=482 ???
            });
        }
    });
}

- [Voiceover] In this video I want to talk about the System of Jim Crow Segregation, which was common in the United States from about 1877 to approximately 1954; although, it goes a little bit further than that. Now, you're probably familiar with some of the aspects of Jim Crow Segregation from the Civil Rights Movement. Jim Crow Segregation involved the loss of voting rights for African Americans, as well as, separate public accommodations, and by public accommodations, I mean all sorts of public spaces in American life. So, this might be transportation, separate areas in trains and buses, or hotels, bathrooms, swimming pools, water fountains. So, these places in public life, where African Americans were put in the place of a second-class citizenship. Where they could not experience the full range of movement, job benefits, protection of the law, or really any of the aspects of American citizenship, that are the benefits that come with paying taxes and abiding by the law. And during this period of Jim Crow this kind of segregation was legal, this was not just in practice, but encoded in the law. So, where did this System of Jim Crow come from? Well, let's start with the name Jim Crow. Jim Crow was not the name of a specific person. Actually, Jim Crow was the name of a stock character. A stock character is kind of a basic well-known character, in usually a comedy, and we still have stock characters in comedy today, in lots of different forms of entertainment; Think of, the absent-minded professor, or more recently, the manic-pixie-dream girl, the girl who is going to change your whole life by being so off-the-wall. Well, Jim Crow was one of these characters in a form of entertainment called the minstrel show. And the minstrel show was a very popular, kind of vaudeville-type live performance. The minstrel show was actually very popular in the north of the United States, places like New York City. And in the 1830s, 1840s, kind of this antebellum period, before the Civil War. So, this character of Jim Crow was supposed to be kind of the stupid slave who lived on the plantation, and this character of Jim Crow was almost always played by a white man wearing black makeup on his face. So, it was not an actual African American person, but rather a caricature of an African American person by a white man who was part of a minstrel troupe. And so the name, Jim Crow, became kind of synonymous with African American's and with enslaved people in the early 19th century, the way that say Patty became synonymous with an Irish person. So, the term Jim Crow Law, or the Jim Crow System means laws that were specifically aimed at African Americans. Alright, so that's the origin of the name, but where did they system come from? And for that we're gonna have to do fairly deep dive into American history, and I won't be able to go into everything here but let's kind of look at this from the thousand-foot view and get a sense of the overall pattern of slavery, the Civil War, and race relations after the Civil War to see where Jim Crow starts. Now, I've been daring here and done a vertical timeline. The first thing we have on here is the end of the Civil War. Now, before the Civil War in the southern part of the United States, which I have outlined in red here, most of these states had legal slavery. And in these states, or the colonies that preceded them, starting about 1620, they imported African slaves to be unfree laborers on cash-crop plantations, and these might include tobacco, or cotton. And that system of slavery persisted until the balance of power between the north, where slavery was largely illegal, and the South, where slavery was the backbone of the economic and political system. Eventually it tore the country apart into the Civil War. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States issued the Emancipation Proclamation, saying that all enslaved people, and the states which were currently in rebellion were now free. But it wasn't until the end of the Civil War that slavery's end was official everywhere in the United States. And the end of slavery really posed a problem for the states of the South. Now obviously this was a wonderful thing for people who had been enslaved, now they had full freedom to move, and work, and marry whomever they pleased, at least in theory. But it also meant that the system of slavery, which had dominated the politics, the economics, the social system of the South for more than 200 years was now over, and something had to replace it. So, in the immediate period after the Civil War the question is, what are race relations going to look like in the South? How will whites and blacks relate to each other without the system of slavery, which has dominated the entire region for more than 200 years? And we'll get into that in our next video.


This past week included a few fun highlights. Most importantly, I ran my 'long run' of 5 miles today as a last prep for the Shamrock Townebank 8K next weekend. I'll be slower than I'd like for sure, but I'm thrilled to be able to run at all. I can't wait to head out to Virginia Beach for the Oiselle team meet up.
Now, what came in the mail you ask?
In other fun-things-in-the-mail news, my Bia watch arrived on Monday! I'm really excited to have it on my wrist, and I'll make sure to write a review after a few more runs. So far, I'm enjoying it even more than I expected to.
Packaging. Bia watch with band, Go Stick, charger.
Close-Up on my wrist, I have the turquoise version.
Congrats on the Tink Medal! Thats awesome! I'm really looking forward to your Bia review. I hope I will like mine!
Thanks! I hope you like it too - there were a couple of things I wasn't sure about and now I feel good about it. Mostly it was wearing the go stick as a second piece. The auto-upload to the computer and to Strava (if you want it) is SO cool.
Thanks! Ooo and maybe I'll run into you, make sure to yell at me if you see me. :) And good luck!

Two more movie reviews
On: July 14, 2009 November 24, 2012 By: Mark
As you may recall, back in 2005 Judith Miller, a New York Times reporter, was jailed for contempt for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury. She refused because she did not want to chance revealing any of her sources for her stories. The jury was looking into who outed CIA agent Valerie Plame. Miller was suspected of having evidence relevant to the leak investigation. For refusing to cooperate, Miller spent eighty-five days in jail during which she never revealed her source. Eventually she received permission from her source (I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby) to reveal his identity and she was released from jail.
Nothing but the Truth is a movie loosely based on the Valerie Plame affair. Unlike Miller, who never actually outed Plame (Robert Novak did the dirty deed), in this movie a reporter Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale), a crack investigative reporter for "The Capital News", outs a CIA agent with a front page story. This CIA agent (Angela Bassett, played by Bonnie Benjamin) is missing Plame's blonde hair. Armstrong is quickly hauled before a federal prosecutor (Patton DuBois, played by Matt Dillon) and of course, she refuses to reveal her sources. Despite having a crack attorney (played by Alan Alda), both the prosecutor and the judge seem anxious to make an example with Armstrong on what to do with tight-lipped journalists. She is soon behind bars and dealing with all sorts of emotional issues, including the feelings of estrangement from her young son and her husband.
This movie spends much more time showing us how miserable an experience it is to be in jail than informing us about the issue of confidentiality of sources. Apparently being a woman in a DC jail involves no individual cells, bunk beds, one television for the whole ward and women largely unafraid to beat up on each other. Most of us would be squealing within hours. Although hardly unaffected by her environment, she holds fast to her promise, losing a husband in the process. Unlike Miller, who only spent eighty-five days in jail, Armstrong spends a whole year behind bars. Her case, like Millers', also goes before the U.S. Supreme Court. Unlike Miller's career, which now includes a stint as a Fox News analyst, this movie has a surprising and unpleasant ending. Prosecutor DuBois seems unusually vindictive. Maybe he is secretly a misogynist. If you don't loathe DuBois at the beginning of the movie, you will by its end.
While this movie feels a bit too stereotypical, it is competently executed. What you get is a solid movie which while well acted and where women do most of the acting, leaves little in suspense. In short, while not a bad film, there is no compelling reason to watch it. So you will probably want to give this one a pass and rent something worthier instead
Ragtime (1981)
Having recently seen the musical Ragtime I thought it might be fun to watch the 1981 movie based on the book as well. Perhaps I need to actually read the book to see whether the movie or the musical is more faithful to the book. Like Nothing but the Truth, Ragtime turns out to be well done movie, but nothing exceptional. If a fan of the musical, your appreciation for the story will not improve by renting the movie too.
1981 now seems a very long time ago, which is why I could not place any of the principle actors. It was not until the credits rolled that they fell into place. In this movie, we find the legendary actor James Cagney in what turned out to be his last role in a motion picture. Here he plays New York Police Commissioner Waldo. Also almost unrecognizable (probably from the blond hair) is Brad Dourif as Younger Brother. (He played Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings movies.) In the musical, the Latvian/Jewish immigrant Tateh gets much more screen time than he does in the movie. Tateh too looked familiar and is played by Mandy Patinkin. Moreover, just whom was that woman playing the empty-headed Evelyn Nesbit? It turned out to be Elizabeth McGovern, who in one scene includes full front nudity and a minute or two where she is topless. This is a PG movie; the standards must have tightened quite a bit since 1981.
While the story is very similar to the musical there are some changes. Father (played by James Olson) has a more prominent role while Mother (played by Mary Steenburgen) seems much more subdued and docile. Howard E. Rollins Jr.'s portrayal of Colehouse Walker Jr. is nicely done. Emma Goldman never appears in the movie, and in the movie, Younger Brother manages to become a lover to Evelyn Nesbit. In the musical he is her flirtation.
Any movie that starts with credits saying it is a Dino De Laurentis Production should make you apprehensive, since he was known for making overblown and badly acted disaster movies. The Ragtime era is hard to convey convincingly, but director Milos Forman does a great job of making you feel you are living in early 20th century America. The street scenes, the trolley lines, the old-fashioned buildings, the abundance of horses and cars all make it feel quite authentic. I really liked James Olson's performance as Father because it was wonderfully understated. He fits well as a Victorian-era gentleman.
The musical though is a much more satisfying than the movie. The movie feels a bit emptier without Emma Goldman's presence, none of the labor strife, with Tateh as an ancillary character, and with Mother remaining largely superficial rather than the woman who undergoes a profound metamorphosis in the musical. Also, in the movie we get Randy Newman's version of Ragtime, rather than Stephen Flaherty's. Ragtime the movie turns out to be quite well done is but never quite as engaging as it should be.

Partly developed as Clear Creek Refuge (2,500-acres, west half), and also as a controlled hunting area. The latter includes the west end of Lake McConaughy and the Platte River inflow area. The low meadows support nesting bobolinks and probably breeding Wilson's snipes, and the tall tree groves hold many breeding passerines. White pelicans (non-breeders) are common, and least bitterns occur. This is one of the state's best birding areas, but mosquitoes can be a problem during summer. Barn owl nest cavities usually can be seen in the cutbanks at the turnoff from Highway 22; nests in this part of the state are usually in such self-excavated sites rather than in old buildings. This end of Lake McConaughy is the state's best documented nesting area for Clark's grebe.

The cast of Aladdin playing The Theatre, at Cipping Norton.
1 Aladdin
Adderbury Institute, January 27 to 29
After a year's enforced absence – the first in a 42-year history – Adderbury Theatre Workshop is back with its pantomime. The story follows the traditional rags-to-riches plot of Aladdin, determined to win the hand of the beautiful Princess Blossom, all the time hounded by the evil Uncle Abaneezer and 'assisted' by his hapless family. His mother, Widow Twankey, runs the local laundry with Aladdin's brother, Wishee Washee, who are overseen by the elder stateswoman, Granny Twankey – veteran of many a previous panto. Abaneezer enlists a couple of ridiculous policemen to help in his dastardly plan and is attended by the reluctant but colourful Slave of the Ring. With a magical flying carpet, a magnificent genie, some unbelievable handmaidens and a powerful emperor, the path ahead is not going to be an easy one for our hero. The pantomime is written and directed by group member Jamie Cox and has a cast of all ages, all of whom are from Adderbury or nearby. Visit www.adderburytheatreworkshop.org.uk to book.
2 Mark Watson: This Can't Be It
The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury, January 20

Churches could be exempt from state drinking water standards under proposed House bill [Lancaster Watchdog]
From the School construction; outdoor retailing a tough sell in Lancaster city: Lancaster Watchdog roundup for October series
SEAN SAURO | Staff Writer
Characterized by one lawmaker as a way to block environmental regulators from "attacking" churches, a proposed rule change is now before the Pennsylvania House, presenting a possible exemption from state oversight to some well-water-reliant religious organizations.
That's the case after House Bill 707 — sponsored by Lancaster County Republican David Zimmerman — passed the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee by a majority vote Wednesday.
The bill, as Zimmerman presents it, is designed to protect religious organizations, as well as related private schools and businesses, from some of the costs related to meeting drinking water standards handed down by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Has Lancaster County air quality improved during the COVID-19 shutdown? It's complicated
But opponents have worried that it could come at a greater cost, creating a scenario where well-water contaminants go unchecked, sickening those who consume it.
"Once someone gets ill, we are talking about more than money here," said Alan Peterson, a Lancaster County physician, who's long held a focus on environmental health and medicine. "Health is something that can't always be gotten with dollars."
In Pennsylvania, a water system is considered public when it has at least 15 service connections and serves at least 25 people daily on at least 60 days in a given year.
Many churches' well-water systems meet that criteria, meaning they are held to higher public-system standards by state regulators — standards that Zimmerman has claimed are too costly for smaller religious organizations to meet.
That's especially true, he said, because they already must follow federal drinking water regulations.
"These facilities already meet the (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) standards and are testing on a regular basis," Zimmerman said at Wednesday's hearing, later elaborating. "These folks all want safe drinking water and have wells that have been in existence for decades."
Lancaster County lawmaker pushes to deregulate water wells at some religious institutions, private schools
HURUBIE MEKO | Staff Writer
The goal of the bill is to protect against costs by exempting qualifying systems from testing requirements and well construction standards enforced by the Department of Environmental Protection.
This week, the department's role in enforcing current standards was criticized by Butler County Republican Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, who serves as the committee's majority chair.
"This has been done as a backdoor by DEP to attacking churches and to attacking the schools that are associated with those churches in an attempt to shut them down," he said Wednesday.
It's a claim that was contested by the committee's minority chair, Rep. Greg Vitali, a Delaware County Democrat.
"DEP isn't attacking anything," he said, pointing out that department officials are simply fulfilling regulatory duties.
Department officials didn't address the criticism directly, but instead shared a document outlining testimony about the bill given in June 2019 by Lisa Daniels, director of their Bureau of Safe Drinking Water.
"State drinking water programs are committed to fulfilling the promise of ensuring safe drinking water and protecting public health, but there cannot be separate standards that could potentially harm the health and safety of some of our most vulnerable populations," it reads, opposing the bill.
The bill has since been amended.

'Do not drink the water'
And opposing lawmakers pointed out that religious organizations often serve large populations of children and elderly people — demographics especially at risk of illnesses carried by contaminated water, according to department officials.
"Religious facilities in rural areas where privately owned water wells are generally located may serve some of our most sensitive and highest risk sub-populations, including children and the elderly," the shared document reads. "While these facilities provide important services such as child and elder care, those same populations are generally more susceptible to pathogens and chemical contaminants and exhibit a higher incidence of severe illness or death as a result of waterborne outbreaks."
Peterson agreed, thinking about what he'd tell his grandchildren if he knew they attended a private school with a water system that was allowed to shirk state standards.

"I would tell them, 'Do not drink the water,'" Peterson said, explaining that many contaminants, like lead, don't produce symptoms immediately. "A lot of these things can be severe problems down the road, and you don't even know about it when it's happening."
On top of all of that, department officials claim exemptions in the bill could jeopardize millions of dollars in federal funding by moving the state out of compliance with federal standards.
"The loss of these funds would have a negative impact on the public health and welfare of all Pennsylvanians," the document reads.
Ultimately, the bill was reported out of the committee in a 14-10 vote, with all minority members dissenting. The bill is now before the full House, which is next in session Oct. 19.

Where will major roads go?
Planners also look at service levels, designs
Manteca's future traffic circulation is the subject of Tuesday's Planning Commission meeting. - photo by HIME ROMERO/The Bulletin
DENNIS WYATT
Updated: May 9, 2010, 11:19 p.m.
Sharing the road may one day become Manteca's planning mantra for future streets.
The city is exploring ways to update its circulation plan for future streets designed to serve growth that will reduce the almost exclusive emphasis on cars to accommodate bicycle lanes as well turnouts for buses along major streets.
At the same time, the levels of service - the time it takes to move traffic based on the 30 minutes of heaviest traffic in the morning and the 30 minutes of heaviest traffic in the afternoon, may be reduced downward. In doing so, the city may add 30 seconds or less to the time it takes to clear an intersection but it will also reduce the cost of construction and long-term maintenance by millions of dollars.
Such a plan would include placing roundabouts where possible instead of traffic signals that would again reduce costs and actually improve traffic flow.
The Planning Commission will discuss levels of service and street designs along with providing input for the environmental report being prepared in connection with Manteca's circulation element as required by state law during Tuesday's 7 p.m. meeting. The commission meets in the council chambers at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.
The circulation study will focus on several new roads that have not been built and some that haven't been publically discussed.
The proposed major roads in terms of general alignments include:
•A new eastern north-south street just under a mile east of Austin Road that would essentially extend Prescott Road south to a point south of Graves Road where it would swing to the east and then curve back westward to connect with the proposed new six-lane Austin Road interchange located roughly a mile south of the existing interchange.
•Extending Cottage Avenue north of Lathrop Road and then jogging it to the west so it aligns with Prescott Road. It would then continue to French Camp Road to eliminate the two sharp curves that now exist shortly before you reach the railroad tracks.
•Extending Lathrop Road west from where it now curves into Austin Road until it T-intersects with Louise Avenue.
•Rerouting Austin Road to an alignment that would take it north past Lathrop Road where it now curves, reroute it behind the New Haven School campus and other surrounding property and reconnect with the existing Lathrop Road alignment near the current T-intersection with Northland Road.
•Extending Lovelace Road west of Union Road and immediately start curving to the southeast to create a new interchange with Highway 99 about midway between French Camp Road and Lathrop Road and then continue southeast before turning eastward where it crosses Castle Road roughly midway between Lathrop Road and French Camp Road and continues until it T-intersects with Austin Road.
•Extending Roth Road west of Airport Way to intersect with Union Road and then swinging to the northeast to T-intersect with French Camp Road near where the railroad track swings to the north.
•An interchange at McKinley Avenue and the 120 Bypass.
•Swinging McKinley Avenue eastward into an alignment with the proposed Austin Road interchange.
•Extending Atherton Drive where it now T-intersects with Woodward Avenue just west of Moffat Boulevard until it meets the new McKinley Avenue alignment along Sedan Avenue at the northern curve.
•A connector street between Woodward Avenue and Austin Road on the south side of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
•Extending Pillsbury Road south to the new McKinley Avenue.
•Austin Road, Airport Way, and Union Road would all be developed as major streets north and south of the existing city limits as Manteca expands. Main Street would continue south.
McKinley alignment
will define Manteca's
southern boundaries
Of all the roads, the one most likely to see movement in the next five to 10 years is McKinley Avenue. It could one day define the outer reaches of southwest Manteca and how that part of the community develops.
The north-south road may eventually swing eastward and align with the envisioned new Austin Road/Highway 99 interchange. Depending upon its exact alignment it may end up being a four-lane boulevard or a two-lane collector street.
Manteca's ultimate southwest boundaries – as well as the preferred alignment of McKinley Avenue - may be determined by Mother Nature. Nine different floods since 1929 – with the latest occurring in 1997 – have repeatedly shown water can come almost as far north as Nile Garden School when levees fail on the Stanislaus and San Joaquin rivers.
Changes in the Austin Road Business Park plan also will impact the ultimate McKinley Avenue alignment and width.
The 1,050-acre project is moving through the environmental review process and pre-annexation process. It could generate as much as 13,000 jobs primarily in distribution centers.
The proposed $150 million Austin Road interchange is key to complete build out of the business park. The interchange is expensive as it must also span the train tracks just like the Jack Tone Road interchange does plus a segment of Highway 99 must be shifted to accommodate it.
It is possible, however, for the project to start development and generate jobs to a certain point and still be served by the existing Austin Road interchange dating back to the 1950s.
The 1,050 acres abuts Woodward Avenue and Highway 99 to the north, an imaginary line if Highway 99 ran due south at the interchange with the 120 Bypass instead of angling off to the southeast, and future Ripon city limits on the south as well as the east.
It would have 3.5 million square feet of general commercial or about four times the amount of square footage as The Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley. It would also have 8 million square feet of industrial, business park, and office use plus 3,400 homes. This is also where the proposed Manteca Convention & Visitors Bureau events center and 5,000-seat amphitheater is proposed.
The industrial uses would generate between 3,000 and 6,000 jobs while the retail portion could yield up to 7,000 jobs.
The homes could accommodate up to 10,200 residents are just under a seventh of the city's current population.
A much smaller business park – often dubbed Tara Business Park – has been envisioned just south of the McKinley Avenue interchange. Due to a decision not to mix truck with neighborhood track it is not expected to include distribution centers.
The Austin Road interchange is farther along in the planning process than the McKinley Avenue proposal. As things stand now, the odds are stronger that the Austin Road interchange will be built.
What happens at McKinley Avenue depends upon the market and how development plans unfold.
There is no actual timetable for developing any segment of McKinley Avenue. Instead, the lull in development is being used to explore what options would be best for overall development.

$75M for Fulcrum BioEnergy
Pleasanton, CA-based Fulcrum BioEnergy, a developer of technology for converting municipal solid waste into ethanol, said yesterday (PDF) that it has collected $75 million in Series C financing. The company declined to name the investors in the round, though it told Dow Jones VentureWire that existing shareholders Rustic Canyon Partners and U.S. Renewables Group participated. Fulcrum president and CEO James Macias said the new investment will allow the company to move forward with construction of a $120 million garbage-to-ethanol plant in McCarran, NV, near Reno. Expected to open in 2012, the plant will create 500 new "green jobs," Fulcrum said.

Pennington School Global Studies students present climate policy proposals
Pennington School's Global Studies students
The Pennington School's Global Studies students participated in the 2021 Global Economic Forum (GEF), sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia.
The 2021 forum brought teams of high school students together on March 2 in a virtual mock competition for funding from the World Bank. Students were tasked with proposing projects to combat climate change and inequity, according to information provided by the school.
During a full-day conference, students presented their climate policy proposals to a panel of judges.
Two of Pennington's teams won first place and first runner-up. In first place were Aidan Medina '22, Avani Prakash '22 and Daniel Sampaio '22, who proposed a solar water heating system for Russia. In second place were Chloe Boocock '22, Jack Giacobbe '22, Shannon McKiernan '22, and Mike Liakopoulos '21, who designed an urban garden-supported food bank for Capetown, South Africa.
The mission of the Global Studies Program at The Pennington School, through the Global Studies certificate, travel opportunities, and campus-wide initiatives, is to support and enhance informed, active and ethical participation in global ideas, issues, and communities, both at home and abroad, according to the statement.

The Webcomic Weekly is back in your life. And this week, we're tackling the reality of quest stories with "Reality Quest."
quest for reality
Episodes 1-5
Schedule: Monday
Written by Joowoon Lee
Illustrated by Taesung
Reviewed by Michael Mazzzacane
Tell me if you've heard this one before. A young victim of bullying under immense stress has an experience and things suddenly take a fantastic turn. Now, a good deed in the world of a video game brings protagonist Dowan Ha into contact with a seemingly powerful individual, and the game of life becomes even more playful.
At first glance, "Reality Quest" has many generic and aesthetic similarities that make it one of many webtoons released on Line with little hope of standing out except for fans of the genre. It's a school drama, which follows that particular brand of Korean school drama that seems to be actively saying that the education system is fundamentally flawed, abusive, and neglectful. It places a heavy emphasis on video games as plot devices as well as their semiotic logic to quickly relate items to the reader. Then it turns into quasi-isekai, in which the logic of all the games becomes part of a surreal element that forms a new reality. All of these generic traits are wrapped around the series' main character Dowan Ha, the quiet, intimidated type of kid you've seen in a bunch of Shōnen manga but somehow more cringe. Artist Teasung also has a habit of making strips a series of seemingly isolated square/rectangular panels with too much gutter space that gets in the way of a solid character's play. I'm listing all of these things so you understand how, while there are items I recommend, they're built on this shaky foundation, making it a bit of a chore to read.
"Reality Quest" has all of these elements and yet there is something. Take Teasung's art, it's layout-wise pretty one-dimensional in these five episodes. The use of the crazed water buffalo in the second episode is probably one of the most overtly artistic moments, as in something not purely functional, in this collection. Excessive gutter space is one of the traits that irritates me the most in the webtoon format, but here it works in the strip's favor. Dowan Ha is nothing of a character, cowed into submission and isolated from everyone else, the ultimate blank slate. If this was America, we'd be writing how he's a mass shooter waiting to happen. Excessive gutter space captures this isolation and alienation, it separates the character from the girl they have a crush on until the next image of themselves in this sequential art form.
The individual panels drawn by Taesung are actually quite good; they have a strong realistic bent, but with the video game elements they bring out the surreal and comedic sensibilities of it all. At first, when we see Dowan trapped at his desk surrounded by phones he's bullied into playing, I couldn't help but think about how contemporary Chaplin he is. Modern times. Dowan is forced to tie itself to the production machine and from some point of view the position of cheap contract labor like the Amazon Mechanical Turk service.
Once things take an isekai turn due to impending death, or is it complete death, the experience and the tape begin to surrealistically blend video games and reality, Teasung's art becomes more comical. The previously mentioned image of the stampeding buffalo is preceded by an image of Dowan and the implication of a large burst of energy emanating from his crotch. There's a solid, albeit juvenile, visual humor at play in this series that caught me off guard.
"Reality Quest" has a lot of generic and aesthetic factors that should be a drag on me, and they were for the first half of the premiere episode. The story being told isn't that fundamentally different from the other stories, but Teasung's art is intriguing and has enough surprises to get me to read more, which is what you'd expect from the first batch of episodes. a webtoon. It remains to be seen whether this can be profitable in the long term.

So I went to the Joint Math Meetings this week as a blogger, and I spent two hours this morning putting together a personal essay about my experiences.
It's in line with the last personal essay I put together for the AMS, available on the Notices website here and one of the things I'm most proud of writing, though not reporting.
Anyway, if you're a "loyal" blog reader I suppose you've noticed that this blog has gotten more and more defunct as time has gone by. You can follow me at tinyletter.com/yenergy for a monthly newsletter instead.
An old friend once told me with no uncertainty that I would always be a mathematician, and I love that. Being at the JMM made me feel that there are many ways to be a mathematician and that I in fact have many more things to say than I think. So we'll see what I end up saying in the next few years.
In other news, I'm trying to make a side hustle of giving talks, so if you are a person who would like me to come talk to your group/department/school about science communication/making a path/equity and diversity/anything in anything I've written, give me a call. By which I mean send me an email because we aren't in the 90s.
I had a truly lovely time in Baltimore (even if I'm trapped in the airport right now for five hours thank you Southwest) and I really enjoyed seeing old and new friends and having surprising conversations. It's like Mary Oliver's death caused a ripple through my life and made us all skip the light banter along the surface of the water and dive deep into the murk of mortality and legacy and why we do what we do and what makes a life worth living. I wish I had a better audio – memory so I could recall all the beautiful things that were said, but I only have my lingering affection for all these people instead.
I wrote this post from a plane on my way back from Chicago last weekend. Maybe I'll do one for each city I've lived in [Orange County, California, Santa Barbara (2010-2012), New Haven (2006-2010), Austin (2014-2016)] eventually. A friend asked me to write a blog post of recommendations that I have from my time in the city. Okay! Let's do this!
I cried a little bit when I landed and entered the city that I love so much, but I had a great weekend there and am ready to go home and see my family. But if the opportunity came up for us to move to Chicago somehow, it would be a very serious conversation because we do love that city. I bolded my favorite favorites.
To get around: Download the Transit app. It works in very many cities, and it works very well.
To do: the Art Institute is truly incredible. Don't miss the weird tiny miniature rooms and the fantastic paperweights downstairs right after the entrance. The stained glass mirrors in the very back are also easy to miss and wonderful.
I loved the Museum of Science and Industry this trip. I'd been once before but it was incredible this time. Loved the mirror maze and the science of Pixar exhibit, and the Swiss ball toy, and the model trains… It's great.
I had to TRI different ANGLES to get a good picture of the mirror maze.
The Chicago architecture boat tours are just as great as everyone says they are. I had a great time on my Arrr-chitecture pirate ship tour also.
If you're there in the fall, Open House Chicago is an incredible opportunity- the architecture foundation opens up scores of buildings and rooftops and areas not usually available to the public, and you can just walk around and learn all about the architecture of all of these incredible hidden gems.
If you live there, consider a neighborhood walking tour– there's like 80 available. We walked around our neighborhood and learned so much.
The Logan Square farmer's market is great. The Wicker Park one, not so much. Of all the festivals and fairs, I like the Renegade Craft Fair the best (yearly). Picnics in Millenium Park with music are the best. Lincoln Park Zoo is fantastic and free.
My mom and I on a visit to Chicago. Oy. Sturdy snacks!
The Walgreen's at Damen, North and Milwaukee is inside an old bank and has a really cool ceiling and old-timey pharmacy stuff on display in the Vitamin Vault.
Chinatown: MingHin is the best dimsum in the city and also very cheap. I like Joy Yee bubble tee and Chi Cafe for food, especially anything in XO sauce.
Pleasant House Pub was the place I went to straight from the airport. Wonderful savory pies, around $10 a pie, and delicious. I went here when it was just a bakery and now it looks popular and good for brunch too.
Hot tip: take a cold pie home! On a plane for hours!
Lotus Banh Mi: surprisingly great banh mi shop that I ate at very often, a ten minute walk from the department. Also in the $ range.
The Rosebud: More of a $$$ range, but this old-fashioned Italian place is great, over near the UIC hospital. I'm not usually into Italian food, but this was very well done and quite flavorful- really richly flavored sauces that weren't too heavy.
The Gage: $$$ classy fancy New American food right on Michigan Ave, we went here a few times before going to shows downtown. The beet salad was great, as was all their seafood dishes.
Pierogi Heaven: $ I LOVED this place. Tiny shop with hot trays on Wells Street, I think across from an adult store and next to a Subway or something. Incredible pierogies, stuffed cabbage, just general deliciousness. I went here anytime I was in the north part of the Loop.
Andy's Thai Kitchen: $$ the papaya salad here was SO SPICY and so good. All the food was great and also VERY SPICY. First place I had kao soy, now one of my favorite Thai dishes- a chicken coconut curry stew with yellow egg noodles, and topped with crispy egg noodles. In Lakeview.
Isla Filipino food: I LOVED this filipino restaurant. I also love Filipino food. Just super flavorful, super delicious, BYOB and reasonably priced. I have a distinct memory of coming here with 8-10 people with a lot of beer and getting a lot of food.
Cafe Ba-ba-reeba is fancier and slightly more expensive tapas, Cafe Iberico is a ridiculous large restaurant also with great tapas. We loved both.
Chicago Diner: this vegetarian haven has been around since the 80s so you know it's good. The Reuben is incredible. Also their vegan milkshakes are surprisingly excellent.
Kasia's: a Polish deli/restaurant/grocery store that makes the pierogies in the freezer. But their pierogies are really good!
Green Zebra: if you have a vegetarian (or is it vegan), this is THE fancy restaurant to take them. The mushroom pate was so good.
Tamale Spaceship $: hipster tamales that we loved.
Dove's Luncheonette: one of my favorite places, a great grasp on flavors with Mex/Tex-Mex takes on brunch-y foods. The brisket taco norteno and the pepper-potato hash were the only things that had stayed on the menu in the four years since I'd been there, and they are both still great. I loved a quinoa pancake there, a sandwich that was soaked in ridiculously spicy mole sauce, a light avocado-seafood cocktail, their avocado toast was perfect… I love this place a lot. Very strong tequila cocktails.
Stan's Donuts: the banana biscoff pocket and the pistachio old fashioned are very good donuts in a town full of very good donuts. If someone recommends a donut shop to you it's probably great.
Enso sushi: a small place with creative, yummy sushi rolls. I regularly got off the blue line from O'Hare and went straight here.
Coast sushi: extremely good, more expensive sushi up the street. Loud but really, really good. Not as creative perhaps as Enso, and definitely not as everyday.
Mindy's Hot Chocolate: the hot chocolate really is good. Also they have food.
1311 Empanadas: $ embarassingly often did we come here, but we lived across the street. Cheap-ish, filling, yummy empanadas!
Sultan's: I'm not sure how long this has been here, but Sultan's feels like an institution. Fantastic $5 falafel sandwiches, a small cold bar, just great.
En Hakkore. This Korean place only has like 4 dishes and sashimi bibimbap is one of them. I loved it.
Antique Taco: I thought the tacos here were sort of meh but everything else is incredible. Horchata drink (it was a cocktail or a milkshake) was awesome. The soups are very, very, very good.
Podhalanka: this is a very hole in the wall place that is hard to find but legit Polish food. You will be upsold and you will eat yummy, salty Polish food.
Publican Anker: I just tried this place for the rehearsal dinner of the wedding I went to and it was great. An offshoot from the Publican.
Bongo Room still draws huge lines for brunch, go super early or on a weekday for their wonderful pancakes, huge salads. People love their breakfast burrito and I think those people are wrong.
Lula Cafe is truly great but also I hate waiting so go at 9:30 in the morning?
Longman & Eagle: one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Wonderful cocktails (I love savory, herby, or spicy cocktails and they hit them all), great food. The first time my husband had bone marrow was here! They do it with a bacon jam on top. The wild bison burger is great. I did not love the cauliflower-lentil dish that is always on the menu but a lot of people do. I really, really like this place and almost all their food. They also used to and probably still do interesting pop-ups in the back- once it was donuts, another time it was sausages. Those were all great.
-Yes, I've been to Alinea and yes it is a once-in-a-lifetime event. It's perfect. The food is perfect. I don't usually think about service but I was so, so impressed with it: jokey and teasing and lighthearted and self-deprecating with me and spouse, then immediately polished, white-glove, yes sir/maam with the table next to us.
Avec: Not impressed! Slow, distracted service, not-very-memorable food for way too high a price point.
Le Colonial: My least-favorite dining experience in the city. I mean, the concept is weird- let's go back to colonial times in Vietnam when France was occupying it? I tried to order in Vietnamese and my white waitress did not know what I was saying. Why would you put Vietnamese names on your menu if you can't understand them?
Ipsento is one of the best coffeeshops in the country. (I don't drink coffee but spouse is very into it).
Wormhole (Wicker Park) has a DeLorean, always has cascara, roasts HalfWit coffee, and has a dear place in my heart. Super interesting fun drinks and very hipster, great for working.
Alliance Bakery (on Division, so the bottom of Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village) was a place i worked often, even though it was cold. We got our wedding cake there!
I loved Maria's (featured in the nytimes a few times) back when Pleasant House was next to it. Now they have Korean food?! The Zombiemaker beer cocktail had Gumball Head from Three Floyds (one of my favorite beers) mixed with grapefruit juice and maybe vodka and it was my favorite beer cocktail ever. Also my only beer cocktail.
People were always hyping Violet Hour for their $15 cocktails but like, they're really good but not like, wait in line good.
Many places I loved in Chicago are now closed, and of course there's now a zillion more restaurants and bars and things to do etc. But these were some of my favorites. You can also look at my yelp for reviews etc.


I've always had different spots to write in. It used to be a really specific process - for instance, when I was writing essays and my creative writing dissertation, it had to be late at night (hello, 5am bedtimes) and only accompanied by Placebo. But these days, I adapt to my surroundings. Right now, it's on my bed, four pillows, Ru Paul's Drag Race playing on my iPad and tapping this out in Notepad. But I'll write in pubs, coffee shops, on the train, snatched moments writing emails to myself at lunchtime, even while walking home and texting it to myself on my phone. Blogging is important to me, and I fit it in while I can - not always easy when I work full time, but I manage.
In a dream world, I would love an office and I'm hoping that my new house will have space for one. Heck, I'd take a cupboard. Or a nook in the corner of the living room. But just a dedicated area would be wonderful - I miss working at a desk, and it's really hard to work with a single screen when you've become used to double screens (I'm currently in the process of converting everyone at work to them - it makes writing content so much easier). So along with my desk, I want a docking station for my laptop and a nice big widescreen monitor. Plus a little spot for my iPad, because a girl's gotta have her Netflix when she's Photoshopping. And, honestly, I'd also like a dedicated space so I can start turning my attention to a little more than blogging, such as that half finished novel on my laptop (okay, it's more like a fifteenth finished).
I'm always going to be a laptop girl though (a Dell Inspiron 5000 series, since you asked, although I'm thinking about switching to an XPS laptop), I can't see myself switching to a desktop. I love the portability, and as much as having a desk would be lovely, sometimes you just want to work under a duvet. I always want to have the option.
So let's turn to Pinterest for the ultimate in desk inspiration. I'm looking for the perfect balance between beautiful minimalism and, y'know, enough space for all my crap.
This is beautiful, but less flowers, more screens, more books please.
Now this is an office - so much space! I don't have a hope of having this much space, but it's so organised and grown up.
I love a good NOOK. Just install me under the stairs like Harry Potter, I'm all for it.
I love the set up and it's so pretty, but the desk just looks too small for me. I'm so not a paperless person.
Here for the shelves. Such cute shelves. I love shelves.
I know bloggers are all here for the clean and white and crisp thing, but how fricking HANDSOME is this wooden desk? Love.
This. Yes. Space. Two screens. Beautiful. Perfect.
Written in collaboration with Dell, but all thoughts and desk dreams are my own.

Lincoln Tesco employees are among hundreds across Lincolnshire facing redundancy after the supermarket giant announced a raft of operational changes.
Staff at the Lincoln Tesco Extra on Wragby Road are speaking with unions and the supermarket as part of a 45-day consultation period, with other stores across the county waiting to hear if they will be affected.
Some 700 stores across the country will enter into consultations this week, with around 2,000 staff expected to find out the result in November, just as the company enters its Christmas season.
A total of 149 stores will see a significant reduction in night staff and 30 of the stores which were previously open for 24 hours will have their opening hours reduced further.
It is currently unknown how many Lincolnshire stores are affected by the news as Tesco is still in the process of informing staff who are at risk.
One Lincolnshire Tesco staff member, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "They are closing the cake counter, the F&F desk and are completely getting rid of non-food night shift.
"I think there is around 25-30 people whose jobs are at risk and more jobs that are affected by the ways of potential reduction in hours."
The news comes just seven months after the announcement that Tesco would cease 24-hour trading in 76 stores across the country, including Grimsby.
Tesco saw a 15% growth in online shopping in the first half of 2015 and are currently looking to change accordingly.
A spokesperson for Tesco has confirmed that it is part of the company's plan to make more staff available when customers are in the store.
Chief Operating Officer Tony Hogged said: "We're making some changes in a number of our stores to help us run them more simply and deliver the best possible service for customers.
"We understand this may be disruptive for some of our colleagues and where there have been changes to a colleague's role we will be working really hard to ensure they are fully supported."

Don't you comprehend by now that they don't feel guilt or pity? Control was built as an incorruptable arbiter, a trustworthy leader...
Kenstibec was engineered to build a new world, designed to work in construction with no human desires to do anything else. Now he is a taxi driver. In a future broken Britain, he takes fares across land no one else would dare go. His latest job; to drive a journalist from the Edinburgh barricade to London, it will prove to be his toughest yet.
Imagine if you set an artificial intelligence the task of protecting your country. Imagine if humans are the biggest threat to that country. Barricade shows us a bleak future where no parameters were set to safeguard the protection of the human race. Once Control had finished protecting the borders, it went to war against the very people who made it.
Told from the perspective of one of the artificial life forms, it soon becomes clear that whilst they look like humans, the Ficials aren't human. They are lacking emotions and empathy, the destruction of one of their kind, does not register as something they should be upset about. They were not built to care. Flashbacks to Kenstibec's past reveal several scenarios where they just do not react the same way as us, that we shouldn't expect them to think like us either.
The introduction of Starvie, a female designed as a pleasure model, worried me a little at first. There is one point where they wish to hand her over as a distraction to be used. Neither her or Kenstibec see this as a problem, it's what she was made for. Yet in the end, she turns out to be a more complex, kick ass character and does the job of highlighting how different they are. Fatty, their human companion has to become their moral compass, when his is set pretty low to start with.
Our kind is incapable of thinking rationally, or cooperating to solve problems. We were always going to destroy each other, with or without my creation.
The flashbacks also show how the war between Reals and Ficials started and how, in the beginning, there was a goal for something better. Yet the Britain in the pages is diseased and polluted. Fatty is on his last legs, suffering from an illness name Blue Frog which is slowly destroying his body, and turning him blue. Of course, his repulsive state solicits no sympathy from the Ficials.
It's a brutal future. I loved the world building but it's not a book that's easy to read in small portions as it takes a while to get back into it. I would advise on giving yourself some time over to reading it in one go.

About Parsons Behle & Latimer
Parsons Behle & Latimer was founded by prominent mining lawyer William Howard Dickson in Carson City, Nevada. In the spring of 1882, William Dickson, along with law partner Charles Stetson Varian, moved their law practice to Salt Lake City. At that time Utah was involved in a flurry of mining activity. In its early days, under the name of Dickson & Varian, the firm assisted in the organization of more than 100 mining companies, including Utah Copper Company, now known as Kennecott Utah Copper; Hercules Powder Company; and Columbia Geneva Iron Mining Company.
In addition to founding the firm, William Dickson, affectionately known as Judge Dickson, was appointed by the United States President to serve as U.S. Attorney for Utah, a position he held from 1884-1887. When Judge Dickson moved to Utah, he brought his office furniture, including a roll-top desk, bookcases, and chairs. Over time, these items have been passed down through the members of the firm and currently occupy a space in the firm's main office in downtown Salt Lake City.

Watch The Legend of Tarzan online: Episode 6 Tarzan and the Rogue Elephant
Baruti and Jamila, an elephant couple, migrate into Tantor's herd to protect their hypochondriac son, Jabari (who bears an uncanny resemblance to the young Tantor), from the mad rampages of Mbaya, an elephant gone ""rogue"". Tantor and Jabari instantly bond, but, through a series of coincidences (including Jabari's insistence that African violets -- which Tantor's eaten for years -- are the dietary root of rogue behavior), Tantor comes to believe that he's responsible for Mbaya's recent rampage through Tarzan's protectorate (which he's somehow managed to sleep through) and retreats into the jungle. Meanwhile, Jane attempts to discover something that Tarzan's afraid of.

You can be a materials geek if you want--you can think titanium's the coolest, or carbon fiber bike frames are full of awesome. Maybe you're a little more esoteric and dream about aerogels or aramids, or maybe nanocoatings. But in the end, the only title that really matters is Strongest Material in the World, and that title's just been granted to...something you've never heard of.
[Columbia professor James] Hone compares his test to stretching a piece of plastic wrap over the top of a coffee cup, and measuring the force that it takes to puncture it with a pencil. If he could get a large enough piece of the material to lay over the top of a coffee cup, he says, graphene would be strong enough to support the weight of a car balanced atop the pencil.
