Milestones January 2013
By Staff on December 26, 2012
Williams and Roush—Anna Williams and James Roush, on August 25, 2012, under the care of Ann Arbor (Mich.) Meeting., in a wedding after the manner of Friends. Anna, who studied botany and anthropology, is the daughter of Teri and John Williams. Jim is an attorney for Consumers Energy Company, helping consumers address federal regulatory issues, and he is the son of Deborah and Stephen Roush. Anna and Jim met through mutual friends, but a shared love of food brought them together as a couple. Months after initially meeting Jim, Anna suggested to some friends, including Jim, that they get together for dinner at Eve, her favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor. Although neither of them thought of the dinner as a date, they were pleased when the evening ended up being just the two of them. Anna and Jim became so engrossed in each other's company that they kept talking until they looked up and realized the restaurant was closing, and they were the last people there. They talked of marriage informally for several months while Jim got up the courage to ask, and the night he proposed, he was so nervous that he told himself he could not get out of his chair without proposing. The wedding and the reception took place outdoors on a beautiful sunny day at Jim's parents' farmhouse. For the wedding, Anna wore a beautiful dress that she had made herself. At the wedding, Friends offered both lighthearted and serious messages, including one from Jim's grandmother, who said that she felt the presence of her late husband.
Ehri—Bonnie and Gabriel Ehri, of Green Street Meeting in Philadelphia, Pa., and their son Thomas, welcomed a baby boy, Nicholas Paul Ehri, on November 8, 2012, at 4:40 p.m., in Philadelphia. Nicholas weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20.75″ long. His grandparents are Ruthe and Bill Schoder‐Ehri, of Friends Southwest Center, Elfrida, Ariz., and Bridget and Paul Bissonnette, of Portsmouth, R.I. Gabriel is executive director of Friends Journal, and Bonnie is a manager at Recyclebank.
Hollinshead—Earl Darnell Hollinshead Jr., 85, on August 21, 2012, in Bethel Park, Pa., in the presence of his family and surrounded by music. Earl was born on August 1, 1927, near Pittsburgh, Pa., and grew up in Lombard, Ill., and western Pennsylvania, where he graduated from Bethel Park High School. After attending Ohio University for a year, he served in the navy during World War II, studying at University of Richmond and Duke University during his naval training. He graduated from Ohio University in 1948, and in 1951 he received an LLB from University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Recalled to service for the Korean War, he was a navigator on the destroyer USS Ingraham. Earl loved music, and while singing in the Pittsburgh Downtown Chorale, met Sylvia Virginia Antion; they married in 1957 in University of Pittsburgh Heinz Chapel. He was a devoted Quaker and a member of Medford (N.J.) Meeting all his life. A property and estates lawyer, he always made himself available to other lawyers to work through complex issues, and he helped to develop residential and commercial real estate in western Pennsylvania, serving as general counsel to one of the region's largest savings and loans associations and representing owners, developers, lenders, and title insurers. After twenty years in a solo practice, in 1973 he became a founding partner of Hollinshead and Mendelson, and in 1982 he was elected to the American College of Real Estate Lawyers. Nationally recognized for his expertise, he was named in Best Lawyers in America. He closed his own practice in 1998 and joined Geraghty & Associates, working with one of the many lawyers he had mentored. He served the Pennsylvania and the Allegheny County Bar Associations in many leadership roles, including chair of the ACBA real property section and chair of the PBA real property division. He was also a Life Fellow of the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation and served on the Board of the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. Committed to the continuing education of practicing lawyers, he presented many bar association programs and helped to create and nurture the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, serving on its board of directors. Earl held frequent backyard picnics for colleagues at his home in Bethel Park, Pa. He was an avid golfer and boater and could often be found on the golf course at Valley Brook Country Club or on Cheat Lake surrounded by family and friends. Music was at the center of his life, and he sang in church choirs, including Third Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh and First Presbyterian Church in Port Charlotte, Fla., where he spent winters during retirement. Earl was preceded in death by his sister, Margaret Hollinshead Ley, and his parents, Gertrude Cahill Hollinshead and Earl Darnell Hollinshead Sr. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Sylvia A. Hollinshead; one sister, Ariel C. Hollinshead (Montgomery K. Hyun); four children, Barbara May Hollinshead (Michael Sieverts), Kim Hollinshead Burke (Michael Burke), Susan Sharp Hollinshead, and Earl Darnell Hollinshead III; four grandchildren; two nephews; two great‐nieces; one great‐nephew, and many other relatives.
Lenhart—James Donald Lenhart, 78, on September 21, 2012, in Black Mountain, N.C., after a series of health setbacks. Jim was born on November 29, 1933, in Connellsville, Pa., to Blossom Murray and J. Donald Lenhart. He graduated in 1957 from West Virginia Wesleyan College, and after working briefly for the National Security Association as a code breaker, he wrote for and edited newspapers and magazines for 17 years in Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey, also working for a time in public relations for Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania. Jim became a convinced Friend in the 1960s and served as editor of Friends Journal from 1972 to 1977. In an article that he wrote for the magazine in 2005, he said that one of the things he remembered most about those years was the strength of the relationship between the Journal and its readers, a bond that he attributed to "the attraction Quakerism has for seekers who are open to ongoing revelation." He also remembered the "day‐in, day‐out experience of being led, guided, helped, and supported by a Power that was indescribable." His thoughtful editorship gave a voice to some of the contentious issues of those years, including gay and lesbian concerns, feminism, and the ongoing debate among Friends about the centrality of Jesus in their faith. One change that he favored was the use of more photographs and artwork, including Friends General Conference staff member Ken Miller's photographs and Signe Wilkinson's cartoons. In 1977, he and his wife, Ann Wells Romig Lenhart, moved to an alternative school and Quaker intentional community in Celo, N.C., that had been founded in the 1940s by Clarence Pickett and other Friends, and he joined Celo Meeting. They lived and worked there for five years, and Jim was director of Celo Press. Later he was Residence Director of Warren Wilson College, worked at an adult daycare home in Asheville, N.C., and for the last three years of his working life, served as executive director of Mountain Care, forerunner of Community Care Partners Adult Day Services. He retired in 1998, and Ann died the following year. In 2000, he found a new life partner, and he and Jeanette Reid spent 12 joyful years together before his death. In retirement, Jim enjoyed traveling, especially to state and national parks, visiting mountains, rivers, prairies, and coastal regions where he observed animals and birds. He served on many non‐profit and environmental boards. Warm, enthusiastic, and generous, he said that being born into a family of unconditional love was the greatest gift of his life, and he tried to pass along that love to others. Jim is survived by his life partner, Jeanette Reid; his brother, Dick Lenhart (Kay); four children, Del Lenhart, Matt Lenhart (Laura), Valerie Pulsifer (Jon), and Jil Meadows (John); his former daughter‐in‐law, Terri Lenhart; 14 grandchildren; and 3 great grandchildren. Memorial gifts may be made to Arthur Morgan School, Celo, N.C.; Black Mountain‐Swannanoa Community Foundation; Black Mountain Center for the Arts; or any environmental group.
Linn—Kathleen Rae McAdam Linn, 85, on April 2, 2012, in St. Louis Heights, Hawaii. Kay was born on January 31, 1927, in Assiniboia, Sask., Canada, to Sibyl and James McAdam. Kay had three older sisters and grew up with a cousin who was also like a sister. Although she had a happy childhood, her vivid memories of the Great Depression—the dust storms, the hardships endured by farmers and their families, and the men "tramping" to find work—contributed to her empathy for those less fortunate. As a girl, she visited the Japanese internment camp near her town to read to the children and spoke earnestly to people in the community about racism and life on the camps. She earned a BA from University of Alberta, where she met Jim Linn. After Jim served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, they married in 1948 in Edmonton, Alberta. They went to Hawaii in 1950 for Jim to teach at University of Hawaii, a move that meant that she didn't see her family for many years. Kay was drawn to the diversity of cultures and peoples in Hawaii and was active in the university faculty community. She and Jim moved temporarily to Los Angeles in 1952 for Jim to complete his doctoral courses at University of Southern California. Kay became a U.S. citizen in 1960. After she joined Honolulu Meeting, she once told another Friend that one of the influences on her becoming a Quaker was that when she applied for U.S. citizenship, Quakers had helped her come up with an alternative to swearing an oath to bear arms in order to defend the country. Kay was a Democrat and was active in the antiwar movement. She taught at Palolo Elementary School and was the first director of the Head Start program in Palolo Valley. After she received a Master's in Counseling in 1978 from University of Hawaii, she was a career counselor at Kapiolani Community College, did individual and marriage counseling, and had a stint as a travel agent. She worked with prisoners and led battered women's groups and violent men's groups at The Family Peace Center. Kay and Jim also sheltered women and children who were victims of abuse. A world traveler, she was an avid reader, loved movies, and had a lively sense of humor. She donated her body to University of Hawaii Medical School. As the men were about to put her body in the van, one of them said to her family, "Just so you know, there's another lady in there too." One of Kay's daughters replied, "That's okay! Our mom will get to know everything about her before you get to the bottom of St. Louis Heights!" Her husband, Jim Linn, died in 2007. Kay is survived by three children, Andrea Linn Nelson (David Michael Nelson), Susan Alana Linn, and Brian McAllistair Linn (Diane Kamins Linn); and two grandchildren.
Massey—Lloyd Micajah Massey, 96, on September 25, 2012, at Universal Healthcare in Ramseur, N.C. Lloyd was born on March 11, 1916, in Wayne County, N.C., to Emma Cox and Elijah Massey. He was a member of New Hope Friends Church in Goldsboro, N.C. A longtime farmer in the Dudley community, he served as president of the American Dairy Association of North Carolina and as master of the North Carolina State Grange. Lloyd's first wife, Eunice Overman Massey, preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Dellinger Goodin Massey; three sons, Macon Massey (Donna), Frank Massey (Beth), and Harry Massey; three grandchildren; two stepdaughters; four step‐grandchildren; and one step‐great‐grandson. Memorials may be made to New Hope Friends Meeting, 4451 E U.S. 70 Hwy., Goldsboro, NC 27530.
Olson—Faith Whitaker Olson, 87, on July 8, 2012, in Claremont, Calif., in her sleep, with her son at her side. Faith was born on June 20, 1925, in Lintsing, Shantung, China, to medical missionaries Louise Gulick and Robert Burdette Whitaker, the youngest of six children (including an adopted Chinese sister). She spent her first five years in China, speaking mostly Chinese, and went again to China with her family during her high school years. In 1947 she graduated from Oberlin College, as her mother and grandmother had done. Subsequently she went to nursing school, after which she lived for several years in the San Francisco Bay area. From 1952–57, she served as a missionary in Korea, working as a lab technician. Faith married Robert Allen Olson, an accomplished amateur pianist and composer, in 1963 in Los Angeles. Older‐than‐usual parents, they joyously welcomed the birth of their son, Nels, in 1966. Bob's piano playing filled their household with joy. He was sight‐impaired, and Faith supported him in his different jobs, including management of courthouse food concessions. The Olsons lived in several communities in Southern California and Oregon. In the 1970s and 80s, Faith was a member of the Pacific Ackworth Meeting in Temple City, Calif. She became friends with John and Alice Way, founders of Pacific Ackworth Friends School (in those years a K‐8 school), and she and Bob sent their son there from fifth through eighth grade. During this period, Faith became active in RESULTS, a group that lobbies for legislation on hunger issues, and she remained active in this work for many years, both when she lived in Oregon and later in Claremont. When Bob died in 1990, she continued her work as a medical lab technician through the early 1990s and retired to Mount San Antonio Gardens in Pomona/Claremont in 1996, where she began attending Claremont Meeting, sometimes accompanied by her sister and brother‐in‐law, Frances and Ed Riggs, who lived nearby at Pilgrim Place in Claremont. Some of her friends from missionary days in Korea also lived at Pilgrim Place. Faith liked playing her small organ and watching her cat enjoy the warmth of the sun coming in through her window. She was active with Claremont Friends as well as with community causes, especially the Council of Churches Hunger Project. She also aided the Braille Institute doing transcription for the blind. Faith was welcomed into membership of Claremont Meeting in 1999, and she continued her service on the Fellowship, Discussion, Peace and Social Order, or Library committees (usually on more than one committee each year) until physical problems of advancing age curtailed her activities with Friends, who have missed her gentle spirit and quiet presence in meetings for worship in recent years. She is survived by a son, Nels Olson (Ellen Lewis), and by cousins, nieces, and nephews widely scattered across the United States.
Pulliam—Bruce Robert Pulliam, 88, on July 8, 2012, at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, N.C. Bruce and his twin brother, Henry Talmadge Pulliam, were born on November 29, 1923, and reared in the Roxboro area of Person County, N.C. The brothers served as medical corpsmen in the Pacific theater during World War II. After the war, Bruce earned degrees from Wake Forest University and Western Carolina University. He began his career as an educator at High Plains School, a rural Person County school for Native Americans. Following work there, he taught at the American Schools in the Philippines and Japan and at boarding schools here in the United States. In 1962 Bruce moved to Fayetteville, N.C., to teach at the newly‐opened Methodist College, where he remained for 35 years. During the late 1960s, as the Vietnam War intensified, he provided local leadership to assist in the establishment of Quaker House of Fayetteville, a full‐time peace and military counseling project near Fort Bragg. He served on the board of overseers for Quaker House from 1969 to 1996. Bruce was a founding member and recorded elder of Fayetteville Meeting. He and his brother moved to Murfreesboro, N.C., in 1997 to be near their sister and her family. The two brothers became active supporters of Chowan University's music and arts programs, the local public library, the historical association, and Habitat for Humanity. Being convinced that Friends should be active members of the meeting nearest their homes, Bruce moved his membership from Fayetteville Meeting to Rich Square Meeting in nearby Woodland, N.C., where he became a beloved member and elder. Wherever he lived, Bruce was a dedicated educator, supporter of the arts, community leader, and faithful friend to many. He collected and preserved underground GI newspapers and information about anti‐war activities in the Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg area. That collection is preserved for research in the Friends Historical Collection at Guilford College. Bruce is survived by his sister, Mildred Wrenn (S.T. Wrenn); four nephews; several grandnieces and grandnephews; and many dear friends.

The afternoon will begin with a film of Ajahn Sumedho, 'Escape Hatch from Samsara', given in Seattle in 2010. It is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes long and covers a wide range of topics from the depth of awareness in everyday life to the reality of consciousness and the unborn.
This will be followed by discussion and tea.


San Diego, CA –From the streets of New York City to the surf of the California coast, big things are happening to fuel biodiesel's future. So it's no surprise enthusiasts of America's Advanced Biofuel were excited to converge this year in San Diego at the industry's largest gathering of producers, distributors and fans.
Throughout the week, attendees had an opportunity to learn more about the exciting developments for the biodiesel industry that have occurred in the past year. Sessions featured presentations from industry leaders such as NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen and NBB Chairman Kent Engelbrecht, and a keynote speech from former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss.
The conference also featured an expo hall with exhibitors, student research posters, and a Biodiesel Vehicle Showcase with presentations from major OEMs such as GM, Ford, Nissan, and John Deere.
Much of the discussion during the week centered on what the new Congress and Administration will mean for the biodiesel industry in general and the Renewable Fuel Standard specifically. This was the subject of one of the Spotlight Sessions featuring leading experts from Washington.
To see pictures from the conference and listen to presentations, be sure to check out the conference blog. To watch NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen and NBB Chairman Kent Engelbrecht deliver the state of the industry address head over to the NBB YouTube page.
Erie, PA –The largest biodiesel producer in the eastern U.S. is bringing a brand new concept to the biodiesel industry. Or, more accurately: a new brand concept.
With production surpassing 60-million gallons annually between its two facilities in Pennsylvania and Alabama, HERO BX—a major supplier to wholesalers up and down the east coast—is now targeting Northeast heating oil retailers with a first-of-its-kind branded Bioheat program.
HERO BX has already secured supply contracts with DF Richard Energy, based in Dover, N.H., and Estes Oil of York, Maine. As part of the supply agreement, HERO BX dealers will be provided marketing materials and support, including branded signage and truck decals, as well as online and social media promotion.
But the more important benefit, says vice president of sales, Tim Keaveney, is fuel quality assurance.
A BQ-9000-accreditted producer, the company's Eerie plant is equipped with state-of-the-art technology from Desmet Ballestra, a global leader in biodiesel technology, and houses a certified commercial laboratory to ensure adherence to ASTM quality specifications.
On its way to the Northeast, the fuel never leave's the company's hands, traveling on a HERO BX railcar to central Massachusetts, where it's trucked to the company's new 5000-barrel storage facility in North Hampton, NH.
At the storage facility—the first of its kind in New Hampshire, according to Keaveney—distributors are able to choose biodiesel blends from B2 to B80 directly at their computerized rack, where they also have the option to either bottom or top load their truck.
Keaveney says that HERO Bx's "cradle to grave" fuel handling ensures quality control throughout the entire distribution chain—where fuel quality is most vulnerable to being compromised—while it also helps the company to control costs by using their own assets to transport, store, and blend the fuel. It also enables them to take advantage of the biodiesel tax credit no matter where it ends up landing on the supply chain.
Already one of the nation's largest biodiesel producers and wholesale suppliers, Keaveney says HERO Bx plans to grow their presence at the retail level by bringing this branded model to fuel distributors all over the country.

Portland, ME –Jarmin Kaltsas and Alex Pine are what you might call biodiesel do-it-yourselfers. Kaltsas hailing from Maine and Pine from southern California, their individual fascinations with biodiesel taking root on opposite sides of the country eventually brought their paths together.
In 2004, while working in a greenhouse on a farm in rural Maine, Kaltsas began experimenting with turning small volumes of restaurant grease into motor fuel in his garage. Two years later, after securing enough funding and equipment for a commercial operation, he founded Maine Standard Biofuels (MSBF) in the restaurant-dense city of Portland.
At around the same time, more than 3,000 miles away, Pine's family (who ran their VW Bug on biodiesel) founded the Los Angeles Biodiesel Co-op, where Pine started working in middle school. When it was time to get his own car, the choice was easy—a 1987 Mercedes that he could run on biodiesel. After enrolling in the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine, he drove it all the way to the east coast, stockpiling biodiesel in portable containers along the way. Once in Maine, he became a regular customer of Kaltsas's—then an intern, then a summer employee—until eventually, after graduating in 2014, he was hired fulltime by Kaltsas as his director of outreach and technology.
Now in its eleventh year, MSBF employs more than a dozen people and produces roughly a half-million gallons of biodiesel per year. With three commercial grease collection trucks (plus a smaller truck for urban areas), they source grease from nearly 1,000 restaurants all over New England. They then process and sell biodiesel (primarily B20) as heating oil and on/off road fuel—with two delivery trucks and a retail filling station at their plant—while turning any unused grease into chainsaw oil, tiki torch fuel, and their popular line of "Wicked Strong" soap products.
Along with some 400 residential heating oil customers, their fleet partners include Oakhurst Dairy, Casco Bay Lines, Atlantic Transport, Pine Tree Waste, Downeast Duck Adventures, Portland Trails, and Barber Foods, among others.
MSBF's first and longest customer, Oakhurst Dairy, has been with them from the very start, even providing a loan to help them get off the ground.
Oakhurst has a fleet of roughly 150 diesel vehicles, which have been running on a B30 blend for the past several years. They also use biodiesel in their refrigeration units. Green says he often fields questions from other companies who are thinking of moving to biodiesel, but express concerns about its operability during the cold Maine winters.
Last year, Green visited with one of MSBF's newest customers, the city of South Portland, which is currently conducting a year-long fleet study "to test the efficacy of the fuel in all conditions, including during the coldest months," city officials stated. Since October, South Portland has been running a handful of city busses and public works vehicles on B20, tracking fuel consumption, performance, and monitoring engine componentry and filters for any issues. Though the study is ongoing, the city experienced several days of single-digit temps this past winter, reporting no issues related to the cold. If the program is successful, South Portland will incorporate biodiesel in the city's entire 200-vehicle diesel fleet, representing one of MSBF's largest customers to date.
The how requires a bit more explanation. The first step is to assess whether your current infrastructure supports a biodiesel program. As B100 can be stored, pumped, and blended with equipment commonly found at many terminals today, some will be able to easily incorporate biodiesel with little or no modification. Others will have several infrastructural factors to consider for proper receipt, storage, blending, and transfer of the product.
Once in storage, do not circulate your blended tank by way of air compressor and hose. Introducing oxygen into B100 or a biodiesel blend will oxidize the fuel and ultimately push it out of specification under EN 4112. Consider periodically gauging your bulk plant tank to be certain that the top, middle, and bottom have the same FAME percentage throughout.
For outdoor storage and piping, mineral wool and fiberglass insulation with aluminum or stainless steel jacketing are the most common ways to prevent heat loss. Ceramic coating is another proven (and typically more cost-effective) form of insulation. It can be shop or field applied (similarly to paint) in most colors and with more or less thickness to achieve the desired R-value. To reduce heating and insulation needs altogether, B100 can also be blended in-line during offloading or blended upstream at a selected rate (B1-B99) and stored as a blended fuel.
Regardless of "the how" of your operation, it is strongly advised that B100 originate from a BQ-9000 producer who has met the quality assurance guidelines and certification standards established by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Program. Although you may be purchasing a biodiesel product meeting or exceeding the Rancimat stability standard of 3 hours, it's best that you source biodiesel rating between 7-10 hours. The higher the number the better your protection from fuel instability issues. Lastly, be sure to request from your supplier their most recent certificate of analysis on your biodiesel fuel. If you find that the date on your COA is not current, request from the supplier that an updated Rancimat be run on older fuels.

New York, NY – The New York Oil Heating Association (NYOHA) is helping a teacher in Bronx, NY, incorporate clean-burning Bioheat® fuel as a teaching tool in an interdisciplinary approach to HVAC training.
Peter Gonzalez is teaching the science of Bioheat® fuel – as well as math, chemistry and English – to 17 Bronx Design and Construction Academy juniors this fall, with NYOHA's support. In addition to arranging for 150 gallons of pure B100 Bioheat® fuel and equipment to be donated by AMERIgreen Energy and Schildwachter Oil Company, Rocco Lacertosa, NYOHA's CEO and a member of the school's HVAC Advisory Board, recently visited the classroom to speak directly to the students.
"We are very proud to support the excellent work that Peter Gonzalez is doing to help prepare New York City students for a future in the Bioheat® fuel industry," said Lacertosa.
Gonzalez has devised a curriculum of exploration in which his HVAC class learns through experimentation and reporting. The students are blending small quantities of heating oil and biodiesel and paying careful attention to the blend ratios. They burn various Bioheat® fuel blends up to 99 percent biodiesel in heating equipment and use combustion analysis tools to profile the emissions at each level.
Experimenting with different blend levels is a timely exercise, as the New York City Council recently voted to raise the mandated biodiesel blend level in the City to 5 percent in 2016, and 20 percent by 2030.
Gonzalez has recruited colleagues Jonathan Brown, Nathaniel Thayer Wight, Adam Ellias and Alrick Crowe to broaden the scope of the HVAC course to include mathematics, chemistry and English. Brown, a chemistry teacher, said he is helping the students evaluate the design of their experiments to ensure that they are generating valid results. Math is coming into play as the students learn to blend fuels in specific ratios and analyze the components of the combustion gases. The students are sharpening their English skills as they write reports about their experiments. Gonzalez increases the level of engagement by letting the students design their own experiments. Rather than tell them what blend ratios to use, he asks them to make those choices and report their results accurately.
Fuel storage facilities should be sampling and analyzing their fuel three to four times a year— the start of spring being one of them. With the arrival of cool spring nights and warmer days, the alternating temps will conspire to create condensation within the tank, a leading cause of water contamination.
a warm spring or summer day (68-86 degrees Fahrenheit), bacteria can double in population every 20 minutes, forming destructive, gel-like colonies known as biofilms. If not addressed, the proliferation of bugs will clog fuel filters, fuel lines and gauges; corrode pumps, injectors and tank bottoms; cause washers, hoses and connectors to swell and blister; degrade fuel, and cause poor fuel economy.
If microbial contamination is detected— either by visual observation of a fuel filter or bottom sample, or by analytical laboratory testing—cleanup can be both difficult and expensive. In all cases, water bottoms should be drained and a biocide should be added to treat the remaining fuel. While in some instances it may only be necessary to filter the treated fuel, more severe cases will require physical removal of floating biofilm or bottom sludge. Depending on the severity of the problem, manual cleaning of the tank may be required before refueling to remove any remaining debris or corrosive byproduct from the interior surface.
Good housekeeping is the best and most cost-effective preventative measure against water and microbial contamination. Please review the following housekeeping checklist to help minimize the potential for fuel quality issues.
Drain water and sediment from tanks at least every six months.
If all the water cannot be removed, drain as much as possible and treat the remaining in-tank water with a dual phase biocide and test for its effectiveness.
Keep tanks near or at capacity to minimize condensation.
Know the operability values of your fuel.
Use additives judiciously and in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations; more is never better.
Stick tanks with stick and paste.
Check and drain water from water-fuel separators.
Be certain all filters are OEM approved.
Whether underground, above ground, or exposed in a basement, fuel storage tanks have kept millions of cars and trucks, as well as businesses, industries, aircraft, and homes adequately supplied with fuel. For as long as liquid fuels have needed some form of bulk storage, they have been filled with gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, biodiesel, ethanol, and home heating oil. Generally, the consumer rarely notices these tanks, nor does the consumer think about how their fuel could be impacted by factors such as quality and tank design. Over the past few years, a great deal of attention has been given to what appears to be an increase in premature filter plugging and corrosion activity in the underground storage tank (UST) systems across the country, which can affect every type of liquid fuel.
To appreciate what could be happening to these fuel storage systems, we need to understand how the petroleum supply chain functions and how quality standards maintain fuel quality from the point of manufacture to the point of sale. It is interesting to contrast fuel quality management practices between the aviation industry and the pleasure-craft industry. In the case of the former, the airline industry worldwide has invested millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of hours to develop a fuel management program that ensures that jet fuel maintains stringent fuel quality standards by filtering and dewatering at every step in the distribution network. From production, transport, and storage, to fueling the aircraft, industry practices ensure optimum fuel quality, resulting in reliable aircraft operation and, in turn, passenger safety during flight.
In contrast to the aviation industry is the marine retail market, selling diesel fuel, gasoline, and E10. These fuel storage tanks are typically near a body of water, and subjected to temperature fluctuation and humid conditions. Over time, these factors result in the formation of sediment and bottom water that remains with the stored fuel until the tank is physically cleaned and dewatered. Let's face the facts. Even if the fuel that you are buying and selling meets an ASTM specification, that specification represents "minimum" specifications. That does not automatically mean it's a high-quality fuel, nor does it mean that the vessels that store that ASTM-specified fuel prior to consumption are clean and dry.
In the fast-paced world of liquid fuels marketing, in which I include biodiesel, one thing is certain: Sellers sell, buyers buy, but neither party frequently focuses on managing the storage tanks that store their purchases and sales. People often ask, why have petroleum terminals across the nation still not begun investing more in infrastructure to accommodate efficient and economical blending of biodiesel? The simple answer centers around the continued uncertainty that looms over the biodiesel industry.
Millions of gallons of liquid fuels will have changed hands during the time you read this article. The question is how many of those gallons passed through to consumption without enduring negative impacts of challenged storage tanks that contain water, sedimentation and degraded components of countless tank transfers? Adhering to ASTM standards and BQ-9000 fuel policies is a good start to minimize fuel performance consequences; however, it's not enough. Those in the supply chain who move fuel or those who consume fuel need to adhere to strict tank management practices to preserve the quality criterion of the fuel and maximize their investment in each gallon of fuel consumed.

Dr DBBajpai introduced Electro Homoeo Graphy and named it EHG HomoeopathyScan. This scan is done by the machine and the report is of the svevral pages including diagnosis of disorders and diagnosis of the Fundamentals of Homoeopathic principles.
Several SOFTWARES have been developed by the Homoeopaths , in which some softwares are of use like HOMPATH and RADAR. Besides these two many others are in practice. I myself is using both the above softwares with good results.
Mechanical systems should be used by the Homoeopaths because now ia the time of the technological advancement and in this view both the diagnosis and selection of remedies are two cardinals which should not be avoided by the Homoeopathic peactitioners.

"As someone who previously voted for the 'Norway model', I feel well placed to say that this ship sailed some time ago. There are lots of aspects to a Norway type deal that are appealing, particularly to MPs and voters who backed Remain in 2016. But in 2019 it's now clear there is no form of Brexit, including this one, that can fulfil all the promises made for it. And there is no Brexit deal, even this one, that is as good as the deal we've got inside the EU.
"At this late stage, it's really important that MPs level with the public about the reality of Brexit. The truth is that a Norway deal that keeps the U.K. inside the Single Market would not allow us to end freedom of movement let alone take back control. Instead, it would leave Britain, one of the great economic powers, as permanent rule takers with our faces pressed against the glass trying to influence laws we must follow over which we once had a voice, a veto and a vote.

Summary: Buffy ponders life's big issues. Kinda. ;-)
Rating: G (MPAA)
Buffy wiped herself with unbleached toilet paper, then stood, pressed the environmentally conscious 'half flush' button and walked to the bathroom sink to wash her hands. She scrubbed thoroughly with both pumice and soap, humming softly from the pleasure of taking a break from her usual nightly patrols.
She was just rubbing some of her mother's peach-scented hand lotion between her palms when Dawn banged on the bathroom door.
"How much longer are you going to be?" the younger girl demanded through the door, "Some of us are usually in bed before midnight, you know."
"I just need to brush my teeth." The Slayer replied, checking her face in the mirror for any blemishes. As usual, there were none.
"Oh great," there was a soft thud from the door as Dawn slumped her body against it, "the patented Buffy brush and floss. Call me when you're done. Try not to miss my Graduation." The younger girl's voice faded as she walked off down the corridor, "Why does she brush anyway? Slayer teeth probably don't get cavities . . . "
Buffy smirked in amusement and squeezed some paste onto her toothbrush. In keeping with the general trend of modern dental hygiene, the brush had been designed and manufactured by a select team of engineers, and possessed more computing power than the average 1980s home computer. It was also a pretty shade of pink, which was why Buffy had chosen it.
As she switched the brush on, she wondered idly if Dawn was right. It was true that her teeth were stronger than those of a normal human. They had to be, with the way vamps and other super-strong demons were always punching her in the face. She'd never even got so much as a chipped tooth.
"It wouldn't matter anyway." She advised her reflection through a mouthful of foam, "I'd have to brush to stop my breath getting all stinky." She spat the foam into the sink and rinsed her mouth, then reached for the floss. Stinky breath was definitely a bad thing, she decided, as she worked the floss back and forth. No one would want to kiss a Slayer with stinky breath.
She frowned. Of course, since Riley left it seemed that no one wanted to kiss her, anyway. Except Spike, and that was just plain wrong. With a sigh, she threw the floss into the small bin beside the sink. For a moment, she considered not bothering with the mouthwash.
Unbidden, Giles' voice came into her mind.
"A lack of vampiric activity is no excuse to cut back on your training, Buffy. Indeed, it is the optimum time to intensify your efforts."
She shook her head and grabbed the bottle, then splashed some of the green liquid into the cap. With a wry grin, she toasted herself in the mirror,
"Who would have thought that romance and slaying would have had anything more in common than the other person disappearing in a puff of dust after the event?"
And as Buffy Summers began to gargle, she knew one thing: whether her next encounter involved kisses or killings, she would be ready, minty fresh.

The new women's issues
11/01/14 09:01 AM —Updated 11/03/14 10:11 AM
By Alex Seitz-Wald
The only time President Obama meaningfully talked about women during his speech to the 2012 Democratic National Convention, it was to warn that Republicans want to "control health care choices that women should be making for themselves."
But when he talks about women now, as he did at the Democratic Women's Leadership Forum in September, he's more likely to talk about economics. "Some folks still talk about women's issues as if they're something separate, over there, and economics is over here – that's nonsense. When women succeed, America succeeds," he said.
He emphasized the point in an entire speech on Friday in Rhode Island dedicated to boosting women's participation in the economy.
RELATED: What election? Obama talks policy in Rhode Island
That shift is emblematic of the way Democrats across the country, including those on the campaign trail, are talking about issues important to women this year. The moralistic "war on women" has taken a back seat to messages about economic security, and even abortion and contraception are now filtered through an economic lens.
10/28/14, 4:22 PM ET
Hillary Clinton: Reproductive rights 'under assault today across our country'
While campaigning for Sen. Mark Udall in Colorado, Hillary Clinton argued why the wage gap between men and women is so striking, and said women's reproductive rights are less secure than they have been "at any time during the past 40 years."
"What we're seeing Democratic candidates evolve to do is to make the connection between economic security and the health benefits of reproductive rights," Ilyse Hogue, the president of NARAL Pro Choice America told msnbc. "It's long overdue."
Informed by extensive research, Democratic women's groups have encouraged the move to pocketbook issues. After all, they say, a woman can't finish school or compete in the workplace if she can't control when she's going to become a mother.
"Birth control is only a social issue if you haven't had to pay for it. It's all economic issues," said Stephanie Schriock, the president of the Democratic women's group Emily's List at a forum this week in Washington hosted Sirius/XM radio. "What's driving this election and what's motivating our women voters in particular are equal pay for women, minimum wage increases, access to full health care, paid sick leave. These are the driving issues."
RELATED: Planned Parenthood jumps into Georgia race
Not on the list: Bugaboos from 2012 like shutting down abortion clinics, mandatory invasive ultrasounds, and legitimate rape. And that's not a mistake.
Groups like the Center for American Progress, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and SEIU, have coalesced around a message of giving women a "fair shot." On that campaign's website, the groups list "leadership" and "economic security" above "women's health."
The "fair shot" message has popped up in campaign ads for top women candidates from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, to Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke to Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley. And a "toolkit" produced by American Women, an offshoot of Emily's List, which provides best practices suggestions to Democrats, encourages candidates to "talk about women and their families, not just women."
It's not that candidates aren't talking about choice and contraception, said Geoff Garin, a top Democratic pollster who has worked for Hillary Clinton among others. It's that they're working those issues into the broader economic message – "frequently in the very same commercials in a way that says this is person who does not look out for what's best for women," he said on a conference call Friday organized by Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
RELATED: North Dakota ruling effectively outlaws drug-based abortions
The New York-based National Institute for Reproductive Health, commissioned a poll in October which they say shows most voters "connect access to safe and legal abortion to financial stability and equal opportunities for women.
Hogue says this evolution is both a recognition of the impact reproductive rights have on economic security, and a response to Republicans' own evolution on these issues.
Two years ago, Republicans Senate candidates Todd Akin and Richard Murdoch made themselves idea foils with offensive comments about rape. Democrats could convincingly claim that Republicans didn't understand women by pointing at their comments.
Sandra Fluke, the reproductive rights activist who was viciously attacked by Rush Limbaugh, delivered a prime time speech to the Democratic National Convention that didn't mention the economy once. Instead, she condemned "the extreme, bigoted voices" inside the GOP.
But Republicans have learned since 2012. "That sort of became the rape election," Hogue said. "They've definitely cleaned up their act."
Melissa Harris-Perry, 11/1/14, 10:48 AM ET
Tennessee to vote on controversial abortion measure
On Tuesday, a Tennessee ballot initiative will have voters deciding on whether to overhaul the state's constitution by "radically changing the established legal understanding that women have a right to choose." Hedy Weinberg, from the ACLU of Tennessee…
The GOP has trained their candidates to avoid using offensive language, invested in outreach and networking to women, recruited female candidates, and seized on Democrats' own gendered attacks on female opponents.
And they say that Americans are turned off by "war on women" rhetoric, as they highlighted in a video released Friday. Americans are "tired of the Democrats' attempts to label women as single-issue voters," said Republican National Committee co-chair Sharon Day.
In Congress this year, Democrats have focused on advancing legislation to improve women's economic security. You're far more likely to hear Republicans talk about abortion than Democrats, according to a Sunlight Foundation analysis of speeches on the floor of the House and Senate. Republicans accounted for 73% of mentions of the term from January 2013 through now, while Democrats are more likely to talk about "equal pay" or "paycheck fairness."
"The number one thing we can do to help our economy grow is tap into the economic potential women who need and want to be in the workforce," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a rising star in the party, said recently at a forum on women and politics hosted by the Center for American Progress.
RELATED: Women's vote up for grabs in McConnell-Grimes Senate race
It's a message familiar to one of the party's most powerful women, likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In her recent memoir about her time as Secretary of State and in speeches, Clinton often discusses how she would win over skeptical male foreign leaders to the importance of women's' rights by emphasizing the economic benefits.
Campaigning in Iowa this week for Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Braley, Clinton said Braley's female opponent does not have the best interest of women in mind. "This is not just a women's issue. It's a family issue, it's a fairness issue, and its an economic issue," she said.
And where Democrats have focused more narrowly on abortion in and of itself this year, they've stumbled. "They Democrats tried the 'war on women' rhetoric this time and it just doesn't seem to be resonating," said American University Professor Jennifer Lawless, pointing to Sen. Mark Udall's campaign in Colorado.
The Rachel Maddow Show, 10/14/14, 10:59 PM ET
Abortion rights victory gives Texas advocates hope
Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, talks with Rachel Maddow about the significance of the Supreme Court's ruling to allow Texas abortion clinics to remain open or re-open while the new Texas law is being adjudicated.
Udall has come under fire for his narrow focus on his Republican opponent's (now withdrawn) support for so-called Personhood laws, which would outlaw abortion and some forms of birth control.
The Denver Post, a typically liberal publication, decided not to endorse Sen. Mark Udall because of the "shocking amount of energy and money [he spent] trying to convince voters that Gardner seeks to outlaw birth control." A debate moderator infamously called the senator "Mark Uterus."
"In 2012, Democrats were basically handed a menu of Republican errors," Lawless said. "2014 looks more like a typical election cycle. To appeal to women this time around, Democratic candidates have to do it with a broader array of issues."

Q: One R GUI for multiple vim R script in Linux I installed vim-r-plugin on my Linux computer. There is one problem is when I was editing multiple R files and each one will launch an R program by using \rt. I am wondering how to just launch one R window for multiple R code files.

A: One workaround is if you open your other R scripts as buffers within your original vim session. Using \aa or similar will run the script in the active buffer in the R window.
In case you don't know how to do this, use :e filename in vim to start editing a different script. You can also split the screen or have tabs. Look up vim buffers on the Wikia for more info.

A: The short answer is that you cannot; only one file can be connected to the R session. I can't find the specific explanation right now, but it should be in the help file.

Music from the Convents of Bologna
One of the most important centers of music in the convents was Bologna. At least 10 collections of music dedicated to nuns (or, in one case, written by one) appeared between the end of the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries. This in spite of the heavy hand of Gabriele Paleotti, the zealously conservative archbishop, who, like his distant cousin and successor Alfonso, strived to limit music in the convents. Gabriele, in fact, had a list of rules drawn up for the benefit of the local nuns according to which the use of polyphony was strictly limited to feast days (once a year); musical instruments other than the organ, occasionally the bass viol, and the harpsichord inside the cells, were banned; and, perhaps most significantly, musical education from outside (male) teachers was completely prohibited. (Similar rules continued to be published throughout the 16th and 17th centuries–an encouraging sign that they were not being adhered to.)
This series includes compositions dedicated to the Bolognese convents of Santa Cristina and Santa Maria Nuova as well as the convent of San Michele in S. Giovanni in Persiceto (twelve miles from Bologna).
BO 01 3 motets for the Convent of Santa Cristina by A.Banchieri for 4, 5, & 8 voices (1599)
Adriano Banchieri, Bolognese composer, organist, theorist and writer, dedicated his Messa solenne a otto voci of 1599 to Donna Emilia Grassi, choir director, poly-instrumentalist and singer at the Camaldolese convent of Santa Cristina in Bologna. Our edition contains three motets from Banchieri's collection.
Letamini et exultate, a "Fantasia a 4, per cantare & sonare" is, like many of the pieces in this collection, notated in high clefs, and thus all four parts fall within the range of women's voices (with the exception of the occasional low d or c, for which ossia alternatives have been provided in the women's edition). Gaudeamus omnes, scored for five voices, uniquely contrasts four florid parts (SATB), with a tenor cantus firmus. Originally notated in normal clefs, the soprano part falls actually quite low, and so we have made available a transposed version up a fifth to enable an ensemble of women's voice to perform it. Beata es tu, again printed in high clefs, is an antiphonal Concerto à 8 for a high and a low choir. The first choir fits well for women's voices, but the bass part of the second is too low for a woman to sing. A possible performance by a female ensemble might thus foresee voices on all of the parts in the high choir, in contrast to the second low choir represented by a soloist on the first voice and instruments (for example viols or organ) playing the other three parts.
BO 02 3 motets for 8 voices by A.Trombetti, G.Fattorini & G.B. Cesena (1589-1606)
Gabriele Fattorini (fl. 1598-1609) served as organist and maestro di cappella at Faenza cathedral near Bologna. His Secondo libro de mottetti a otto voci was commissioned by and dedicated to a musical nun at Santa Cristina in Bologna, Donna Deodata Leoni. The motet Preparate corda vestra is composed for two equal four-voice choirs. The soprano of the first choir is not extant and has been reconstructed for this edition.
Gio. Battista Cesena's real name was Biondi (fl. 1605-30), but he was better known during his lifetime by the name of his birthplace. Though a Minorite monk and composer of a great deal of sacred music, he does not appear to have held a church post. The dedication of his Compieta con letanie che si cantano Nella S. Casa di Loreto, et motetti a otto voci di Gio. Battista Cesena(Venice, 1606), written by the publisher Giacomo Vincenti, is full of praise for the musical nuns of Bologna, particularly at Santa Cristina. His collection contains eleven pieces for eight voices, almost all of which contrast high and low choirs, as exemplified by the setting of Cantabant sancti.
The celebrated Bolognese composer and cornettist Ascanio Trombetti(1544-1590) was closely associated with musicial nuns, for he taught music at the Bolognese convent of San Lorenzo. Moreover, his daughter Isabella was herself a nun trombonist and organist at the convent of Santi Gervasio e Protasio. His Primo libro de motetti accomodati per cantare e far concerti a 5-8, 10, 12 (Venice, 1589) makes no specific mention of nuns, yet it seems logical to assume that it was this sort of music to which Trombetti would have exposed them during his years of teaching within the convents. Like the motets by Cesena, Regna terrae is also scored two four-part choirs, the first of which is slightly higher than the second.
BO 03 2 motets ad usum sanctimonialium by R. Micheli & G. Banci for 3 & 6 voices (1610-19)
Giovanni Banci dedicated his Primo Libro de Sacri Concerti a Due, Tre, Quatro, e Cinque Voci (Venice, 1619) to Donna Anna Maria Merlini, a nun and singer at the convent of San Michele in San Giovanni in Persiceto (twelve miles from Bologna). What little is known of Banci is found on the title page of this work: he originated from Argenta (near Ferrara) and evidently worked at one time in Bologna. Banci set three separate Litanies for the Blessed Virgin, a popular Marian prayer setting of the time, with an invocation and response structure. The Litany in our edition is originally scored for soprano, alto, three tenors and bass. In our edition for women's voices, the parts which fall outside the range of female voices (the three tenors and bass) have been transposed up an octave.
Romano Micheli (c. 1575-1659) was born in Rome and worked for a brief time there before embarking on travels to various Italian cities (including Venice, Naples, Ferrara, Bologna and Milan). Micheli published two similar collections of psalms for three voices (SSB) which contain various suggestions for performance, including a transposition of the bass part up an octave for an ensemble of women's voices, ad usum Sanctimonialium ("for use by the reverend nuns").
BO 04 Two motets for 3 voices by Giulio Cesare Arresti (1663)
Giulio Cesare Arresti (1625-1704 or later) lived his entire life in his native city of Bologna. There he served as organist at San Petronio for almost 40 years between 1649 and 1699, and as maestro di cappella at various Bolognese institutions. In 1663, Arresti published his Messe a tre voci, con SinfonÏe, e Ripieno ‡ placito, accompagnate da motetti, e concerti, op. 2. He dedicated the collection to Giulia Maria Vittoria Malvezzi, a nun at the monastery of Santa Maria Nuova in Bologna, praising her for her musical and instrumental skills (without, unfortunately, specifying her instrument).
The collection is divided into three sections, each headed by a Mass for 3 voices (CCB) and two violins with basso continuo. Each Mass consists only of the Kyrie, Gloria and Credo, and is followed by 2 motets which may be inserted into the Mass as needed. The choice of voices is curious in light of the dedication to a nun, as all but one (Ad cantus) call for a bass voice. The nuns would certainly not have been daunted by the problem of singing bass parts, presumably transposing them into their ranges as we have done here in the case of the edition for women's voices.


The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA) values its relationship with healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations. We recognise that healthcare professionals' experience and expertise play a vital part in informing the pharmaceutical industry's work on new treatments for best patient care and outcomes. The shared ambition of IPHA member companies is to make available innovative treatments for patients under the direction of healthcare professionals. Given that today's medical challenges are far more complex than before our member companies believe in connecting their own expertise and capabilities with those of healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations.
Connections between industry, healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations benefit all three and, most importantly, patients. This collaborative work has a profound and positive influence on the quality of patient treatment and the value of future research. In fact, our joint research and co-operation has not only helped develop life-saving medicines but also led to advancements in patient care and medical science.
Additionally, we believe that we have a duty to provide healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations with the latest information on our medicines to help them to make the best treatment recommendations to their patients. Healthcare professionals wish to stay informed about current and new medicines to provide patients with the best treatments and choice. In turn, they provide us with information on how to improve our medicines through ongoing feedback on how the medicines work in clinical settings.
As would be expected, it is important that interactions between our industry and healthcare professionals and organisations meet the high standards of integrity that patients, governments and other stakeholders expect. While such interactions are already highly regulated, in June 2013, and to provide additional transparency, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations' (EFPIA) adopted a Disclosure Code regarding Transfers of Value to healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations for implementation in 2016. IPHA, as a member of EFPIA, changed its Code of Practice to reflect this additional transparency. Under this revised IPHA Code, summary details of how IPHA member companies engage with and support healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations through direct or indirect financial support, or 'Transfers of Value', have been made public on www.transferofvalue.ie since 1st July 2016.
Fees for services & consultancy.
The amounts reported are the total per annum for specific categories rather than individual amounts for each transaction. Generally, these are per healthcare organisation or healthcare professional. However, to adhere to data protection laws, healthcare professionals must give consent to the pharmaceutical company for individual named disclosure. In the absence of this consent, annual data is published here in aggregate form in respect of healthcare professionals who have not given consent to publish their names. In contrast, all annual ToVs to healthcare organisations are published on an individual organisation name basis, since agreements with organisations do not fall under the consent provisions of data protection legislation.
The first series of data, or central industry report, related to ToVs made in 2015. Subsequent annual reports will be published within six months of year end and will be publicly available for three years from the date of initial publication on www.transferofvalue.ie. Between those periods HCP data may need to be republished by the companies as a result of HCP consent changes and therefore HCP data within the central report may change. However, changes to the other data is not expected.
We believe that disclosing the financial aspect of industry support for healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations will help assure the public that they can trust their healthcare professionals to recommend treatments or administer appropriate care based solely on clinical evidence.
If you have any general ToV communication queries please contact philiphannon@ipha.ie.
If you have any queries on disclosure amounts, companies etc. please contact the companies directly (contact details are provided on each company page). IPHA does not control or have any input individual company data.
Note that each Company is obliged to ensure that any Data which it uploads is accurate, complete and not misleading.
Upload the amended/corrected data via the Central Report website, making sure that the amended/corrected data is complete, accurate and not misleading.
that is found to be inaccurate, incorrect or misleading the legislation requires that the information be rectified or erased 'as soon as may be' and in any event not more than 40 days after the request has been given/sent to them.

Q: Reusing fragments in different perspectives I have a partstack I want to reuse in a different fragment.  It looks like I can import the part stack in one fragment, so I did this.
Then under my Part Sash Container, I add a PlaceHolder element and select this imported Part in the "reference" section.
On both plugins, I have org.eclipse.e4.workbench.model extended.
And yet, nothing shows up.
I also tried to simplify it by just importing one Part.  This also does not work.
I know I can create the entire structure and assign new IDs and reference the class files directly, but I don't think that is the correct way to accomplish this.  What am I missing?

November 20, 1901. -- Steamer W. L. WETMORE, lumber-laden, totally wrecked on Rabbit Island, Georgian Bay.
RAN ASHORE IN GEORGIAN BAY.
Early Friday morning the steamer W. L. WETMORE and consorts BRUNETTE and KING, all three loaded with lumber from Parry Sound for Tonawanda, ran ashore on Rabbit Island in georgian bay, two miles from Tobermory. A heavy wind and snow storm prevailed at the time. Tugs were sent to the assistance of the vessels as soon as news of the mishap reached Tobermory.
Steamer WETMORE and two consorts Breaking to Pieces in Georgian Bay.
Detroit, Mich., December 3. -- News of disaster to the steamer WETMORE and her consorts, the BRUNETTE and KING, was brought here by members of the crew of the wrecked boats. All three seem to be total losses. The WETMORE, which was towing the other two boats, tried to make Tobermory harbor in Georgian Bay in a heavy gale and snow storm last Friday. The steamer missed the harbor and went ashore in an uninhabited part of the rocky Georgian bay shore. The BRUNETTE and KING soon after followed the steamer in going on the rocks. The steamer's wheel was broken and the boats began pounding. As it seemed dangerous to remain on board the crews took to their lifeboats and reached land at Babbitt Island.[sic] There they spent the night. The following morning they were rescued from the island and taken to Wiarton. The men say the WETMORE was breaking up the last time they saw her. The barges were in a dangerous position. All three boats were loaded with lumber at Parry Sound for Buffalo.
Some of the crew of the steamer WETMORE and her consorts BRUNETTE and KING, reached here on Tuesday and reported the loss of the vessels near Tobermorey, Georgian Bay, on Friday last, during a heavy gale and snow storm. No lives were lost but the vessels with their lumber cargoes are considered to be total losses.
WETMORE AND KING TOTAL LOSSES.
Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 12. -- Capt. Adam Hartman of Tonawanda, owner of the steamer W. L. WETMORE and barges BRUNETTE and KING, which recently stranded in Georgian Bay near Tobermory, have been advised that the WETMORE and KING are total losses, the destruction of the KING being mainly due to fire. The destruction of the steamer was caused by a terrific storm which swept over the Georgian Bay on Tuesday. The deckload of the WETMORE and part of the deckload of the KING were removed upon lighters. The lumber in the holds of the vessels can be saved perhaps, but the work will cost considerable money. The tugs sent to the stranded fleet succeeded in floating the BRUNETTE, and she is to be placed in drydock at Collingwood for repairs. The WETMORE was valued at $20,000 and uninsured. She came out in 1871 and had a gross measurement of 819 tons. The G. C. KING was worth probably $5,000. She came out in 1870 and measured gross 487 tons.
The steamer WEMORE which went ashore near Tobermory two weeks ago pounded to pieces during the terrific storm which swept over Georgian Bay Tuesday. She was owned by by Capt. Adam Hartman and others of Tonawanda.
The steamer W. L. WETMORE, which was at one time owned by the late Thomas Axworthy and which for many years hailed from this port, has been added to the list of total losses for the season of 1901.
The WETMORE was built by Quayle in this city and came out in 1871. She had a gross measurement of 819 tons. Capt. George L. DeWolf, local inspector of steamboats, sailed the WETMORE for a number of seasons. - Cleveland report.
Insurance agents are making another effort to fix up the fire loss on the steamer WETMORE and tow, which were left in such bad shape on Georgian Bay last fall. James T. Hurd, one of the lumbermen interested in the cargo of the barge KING has gone to the boats, accompanied by a member of the insurance office of Smith & Wilcox, to make a bid on the entire lot of lumber. It is mostly in shape to sell, as the cargo of the steamer and the consort KING are ashore -- what was left of it by the fire which is thought to be about four fifths of the whole. The cargo of the BRUNETTE is all on board of her except about 100,000 feet that was taken to Bay City on a small steamer that was sent up from there to lighter her off.
Adam Hartman,of Tonawanda, has bought the remaining half of the schooner SAVELAND of C. H. Ripson of Oswego. The Holland Syndicate to which Capt.Hartman belongs, owns half of the SAVELAND. She has been obtained in order to tow behind the steamer KITTY FORBES with the BRUNETTE. ---- Buffalo Report.
Capt. Playfair of Owen Sound, has been in Buffalo obtaining a final settlement for the work he did as a wrecker in trying to save the stranded WETMORE and tow. He considers the task a very difficult one, and says it would have been impossible to save all the vessels.
The lumber fleet under the management of John J. Boland will consist of eleven vessels, the KITTY M. FORBES and consorts SAVELAND and BRUNETTE ; JOHN PRIDGEON Jr. and consort D. P. RHODES ; GARDEN CITY with two consorts not yet selected. S. E. SHELDON and consort NEGAUNEE, and the schooner JOHN MAGEE, which will sail as usual. The FORBES and PRIDGEON tows are charted for lumber from Duluth to Tonawanda, for White, Gratwick & Co. the entire season. A special trip will be made to Georgian Bay for the BRUNETTE, which will bring down a cargo from Little Current to Tonawanda.
The barge BRUNETTE, which stranded in Georgian Bay late last fall, and has just been thoroughly repaired at Tonawanda, will hereafter be known as the BUFFALO. The stern has been shortened fifteen feet and made square.
not see anything of him. He sank in about two minutes.
The steamer W. L. WETMORE has just been supplied with a new Sheriff's wheel.
Afterward, people marveled that all 27 sailors on the three wrecked lumber boats escaped alive. The steam barge W.L. WETMORE and the two consorts in tow, the JAMES C. KING and BRUNETTE, collided with the side of Rabbit Island near the tip of Ontario's Bruce Peninsula during a blinding snowstorm on Nov. 29, 1901.
Detroit sailors Albert Drager and John Halloran told in a Free Press story how the sailors survived the shipwreck. swam a dangerous halfmile stretch to the island, and then battled a snow storm and severe cold for 36 hours until help arrived. They said everybody made it because of teamwork. The stronger swimmers helped the others make it to shore. Once they were on land, everybody worked together to find shelter and keep each other warm.
Sailor John Flannigan suffered a broken leg and was lifted off the deck of the BRUNETTE by rope to the only available lifeboat. Lifeboats on the WETMORE and KING were swept away by the storm. Drager and Halloran said the swim to the island was the worst part of their ordeal. They said they thought cheers from the others gave them the strength to continue swimming until their feet touched solid ground. After that the survivors found what shelter they could and built a large bonfire to keep themselves warm.
The three boats were hauling lumber on the first leg of a trip from Parry Sound to Buffalo when the storm caught them on Georgian Bay. They were driven aground after Capt. John O'Hagan steered the WETMORE toward shelter at Tobermory but lost his bearings. He said the storm made it impossible to see the lighthouse lamp at Tobermory. O'Hagan's first indication that the ship was off course came unexpectedly at about 2 a.m. There was an ominous thump as the steamer's wooden hull passed over a submerged rock. Before the engines could be stopped the WETMORE hit the rock and the ship's propeller blades were stripped. After that the boat drifted out of control until it hit the island.
The barges, which were in tow behind the steamer, followed it to destruction. During the excitement. Flannigan got his leg caught in the tow line to the BRUNETTE. The line had to be cut to get the sailor free. This probably saved the BRUNETTE. The barge blew off to another area and grounded in soft mud. It was later salvaged.
The WETMORE and KING struck a rocky coast and broke up in the storm. The wrecks are still there here. Both are favorite haunts for sport divers visiting Ontario's Fathom Five Provincial Park off Tobermory.

Drug Abuse Essay
Theory Based Intervention on Drug Misuse in Camden
Camden town records significantly a high number of drug abusers and causes a relatively high number of deaths ("Camden Council: New centre to reduce drug users in Camden Town", 2016). Statistics show that most of the victims are young males. To curb the behavior, there is need to come up with programs to help the drug users give up the habit and lead a drug-free life. Theory-based interventions can be employed to perform the task. There are several interventions that can assist in the matter but their effectiveness varies from one to the other. Some include naloxone, the theory of planned behavior, and resistance skill training. The success stories of the theories also depend on different case studies.
Theory of planned behavior is to predict the behavior individuals to allow the relevant measures being employed to prevent drug abuse (Bashirian, Hidarnia, Allahverdipour, & Hajizadeh, 2013). The theory provides authorities and other community stakeholders aiming at curbing drug abuse come up with the best plans sufficient to eradicate drug abuse. The method looks into the behavior, change of attitude, and norms in one life and helps in taking early precautions that may help in reducing drug abuse. The theory has been employed in several places in the world and has been successful in setting up a basis for coming up with programs to reduce and prevent drug abuse. It has been helpful in helping in the prevention of drug abuse in early users. For example, it has successfully helped to predict alcohol and cigarette using in Iran leading to coming up with successful planning on how to prevent it.
Resistance skill training is a theory based method that helps in training people on how to avoid and reject temptations to get into drug abuse (Moshki, 2016). The method aims at making the public aware of the drug abuse effects and dangers they pose to users and those close to them. The theory tries to boost self-esteem and responsible decision making among individuals at early stages possible. It also equips trainees with skills that they can use to resist pressure from peers and media to get into drug abuse. The theory offers the learners alternative ways of remaining busy in their lives that help them reduce the possible idle time that can lead them into drug abuse. The method has been successful in colleges and high schools in convincing students to resist drug abuse with places where it has been effected recording lower cases of drug abuse.
Use of naloxone
Naloxone is a drug used to reverse the effects of drug abuse overdose such as heroine. It is used as a treatment to help one come out of drug abuse (Galea & Vlahov, 2005). It neutralizes the effects of opioids and does not make one have most effects felt when one abuses drugs. The effects of helping one act normally after having an overdose of a drug make naloxone help society in restoring health and making drug addicts come out of their behavior (Kolodny et al., 2015). Also, overdose is a form of drug abuse that causes many deaths to victims. The reversal of the effect of the drugs brought about by naloxone helps in the process saving live. The drug has been known for saving many lives of drug abusers by reversing the effects of the drugs take.
The theory-based intervention on drug abuse can help in curbing the problem of drug abuse in Camden. Since drug abuse is a problem that is prevalent in the town, naloxone is the best, method because it would assist in treating the drug abuser as well as assist in preventing other becoming addict. It can prevent new addicts by being injected when one has taken an overdose at early stages before they become addicts (Burrow-Sanchez & Hawken, 2013). Theory of planned behavior would be the second best among the three theories because it would assist in identifying drug users including a new one and measure taken at the earliest time possible. Resistance skill training would assist in ensuring few or no new recruits in the drug abuse circle is done. The method would help in the long run though it would have a little help to the current drug abusers.

I am visiting family in West Chester, Pennsylvania, for the next week so some days posting may be light.
The Battle of Brandywine took place just a few miles away from my aunt's house on Lafayette Street and almost destroyed the American Revolutionary cause. In my opinion the cause for which Americans fought was the cause of all freedom-loving British men and women.
The cause survived the battle due to the bravery of Lafayette, the chivalry of a British soldier who forbore to shoot Washington in the back, Washington's dashing courage later in the day, the heroism of African American Hector Edward Hector, who rescued the cannon, the grit of Weedon's Virginians whose fighting retreat bought the American Army time, and the gallantry of Pole Count Casimir Pulaski, whose cavalry covered the Americans so they could live to fight another day.
Living to fight another day is a good thing - considering the alternative. However, as you'll see in David's post on Rodney Atkinson's new CD below, having to refight battles you had already won is a bit aggravating. It would be a good idea to handle the problem now, before it gets any worse.
