Towing Service In Tucson AZ Announces Official Launch
June 18, 2019 - /PressAdvantage/ - Driscolls Towing has announced their official business launch. The company provides towing services in and around Tucson, Arizona from their business location at 5452 S Arcadia Ave in Tucson. The company officially opened their doors for business on May 17, 2019, and have helped a number of customers since that time.
Elly Harwood, a representative for the company says, "People in Tucson are so nice. Right after we opened our doors we started getting calls from people who needed emergency towing and they were all just so kind. We are pleased to be providing these services to the fine folk of Tucson and we look forward to helping people with their towing needs."
Harwood states that the company provides towing during normal business hours and during emergency hours such as nights, weekends and holidays. The company states that they saw a need for a reliable towing company, one that offered services around the clock and offered fair pricing, and decided to put their team to work.
"Our team is comprised of some of the most experienced people in the area," says Harwood. "We are proud of our team and our accomplishments and we look forward to meeting more people from the Tucson area."
The company also launched an official website with their company launch, which can be seen at http://gmbp.in/u/5d03d10635fe4. The website offers detailed information about the company and their experience with towing, as well as a complete list of their services and service areas. Service areas include Littletown, Craycroft, Emery Park, Rolling Hills Country Club Estates, Tucson Country Club Estates, Esmond, Pascua Yaqui Indian Village, Casa Adobes, Orange Grove Estates, Duval, and various other locations around Tucson.
Harwood states that they strive to provide the fastest and most efficient towing service, often reaching customers within minutes of their call. The company adds that all towing is done within half an hour from the point of contact so that customers do not have to wait around for the tow truck, particularly those who are broken down at night.
"It's scary to think that there are people on the side of the road in the middle of the night who can't get a tow truck to them quickly," Harwood says. "We will be there within minutes of making that call. We want our customers to feel safe with our services and security in the fact that we act quickly, particularly for those scary middle of the night calls."
Harwood states that the company also ensures that customers are never surprised by their towing bill by being completely upfront about the costs. Customers' vehicles are inspected thoroughly before any work is done so that the company can provide a legitimate and upfront pricing structure without any hidden fees.
More on their pricing structure can be seen at http://gmbp.in/u/5d03d1989ae9f. Harwood urges those in the area to visit the company on their official new website to learn more about the specific towing and emergency roadside assistance services that they offer. Those who are interested can also find a contact form online to get in touch with the company or contact them directly by phone or email to schedule a towing service or to ask any questions that need to be answered.
The website includes a map with driving directions to the company's office on Arcadia Avenue and more information about their services, service hours and any specials that they are currently running. The company expressed the pleasure of all of the staff to be working for customers in the Tucson area, stating that they look forward to getting to know their customers and providing the assistance that they need.
Aside from regular towing, the company is also offering emergency after hours towing, roadside assistance, lockout services, and more.

Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who modernized Oman, dies at 79
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Mideast's longest-ruling monarch who seized power in a 1970 palace coup and pulled his Arabian sultanate into modernity while carefully balancing diplomatic ties between adversaries Iran and the U.S., has died. He was 79. The British-educated, reclusive sultan reformed a nation that was home to only three schools and harsh laws banning electricity, radios, eyeglasses and even umbrellas when he took the throne. Under his reign, Oman became known as a welcoming tourist destination and a key Mideast interlocutor, helping the U.S. free captives in Iran and Yemen and...
On streets of Tehran, relief for now at no wider conflict
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian newspapers proclaimed the country's attack on U.S. forces in Iraq to be "a dark night for Americans," and Washington's "first admission of failure in history." On the bustling streets of Tehran, however, there was relief Thursday that neither side appeared primed for war. "War is not something like the 'Call of Duty' game," said Dara Shojaei, a 23-year-old architecture student. "It's not a game you can play to win. There's no winner." But with the relief came some mixed feelings about how far Iran should go to avenge the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleiman,...

TEHRAN, Iran — For Iranians whose icons since the Islamic Revolution have been stern-faced clergy, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani widely represented a figure of national resilience in the face of four decades of U.S. pressure. For the U.S. and Israel, he was a shadowy figure in command of Iran's proxy forces, responsible for fighters in Syria backing President Bashar Assad and for the deaths of American troops in Iraq. Solemani survived the horror of Iran's long war in the 1980s with Iraq to take control of the Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force, responsible for the Islamic Republic's foreign campaigns.

There are three vacancies for Ivy League presidents right now. That's three out of eight! Dartmouth College, Princeton University, and Yale University are all currently searching for their next presidents. A "Bloomberg Businessweek" article by Janet Lorin points out that the names of many top Washington officials are floating around these Ivy League campuses as candidates for these top jobs. Among them are Dartmouth alumnus and current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for the post at Dartmouth and CIA Director David Petraeus for the post at Princeton.
President Woodrow Wilson previously led Princeton University.
So what's the advantage of running an Ivy League university as opposed to working in Washington? Well, you get to have a platform to speak your mind about the issues of the day. You get to lead one of the premier academic institutions in the world. And, heck, President Woodrow Wilson and President Dwight D. Eisenhower both served as presidents of Ivy League institutions (Princeton University and Columbia University).
Who do you think should fill these Ivy League presidencies? Give us your ideas!
Generally, I think Dartmouth attracts a different type of candidate than Yale, very good academically but not perfect like most of the candidates for HYPSM and also more prone to weigh intangibles like surrounding environment than academic reputation alone. I believe the Dartmouth candidate is more like the candidates for Duke, G'town, N'western, UVA out of state, and other schools considered Top 20 academically but also fairly fun places to go. Thus, less impact from Harvard and Princeton re-instituing EA.

Often times an enclosure needs to be customized for a client's need, these modifications vary greatly from client needs to needs and our customization services go beyond what you might expect; with in-house CNC machining and local silk screening we keep your projects on time and cost effective.
Here are a few examples of the services we have provided to help our clients.
Henry Ford is famous for his saying …"any color you want, so long as you want black" and for years industrial OEM's were left with the choice of only wanting gray or using a can of paint themselves. Fibox offers you a spectrum of colors to either emphasize or differentiate a specific enclosure or to reinforce your brand identity. Fibox can also offer screen printing right onto the enclosure for logos, warnings, instructions or other messaging.
A client needed a series of holes to be drilled around a larger cut out, a fairly common request for display screens, however this project also required some of the holes to be counter sunk. With the precision of CNC machining every piece is accurately drilled and countersunk to client's needs.
DIY or Do It Yet Again?
A central cut out at the base of an enclosure is a fairly common need, however in this case the client's drill took out a little extra which would compromise the enclosure from the elements, our CNC machines made small work of this cut out and left room to spare.
In this example a client has a series of cut outs with four smaller cut outs framing the larger. You can imagine the precession needed to ensure each cut is perfectly in line to ensure a secure fit and a tight seal. Also the notice the distortion to the gasket, all of this has easilybeen avoided after the client the reordered with our customization service.
Usually the costs associated for us to help are in line with what you would spend to hand cut a few dozen or so enclosures (not including the cost of redo's). If you wish to learn more please contact your Fibox representative to answer any of your questions.

Remake, refill, reuse: Recycling at the synapse revealed
in Medicine & Health
Credit: OIST
Neurons in the brain form tangled webs of connections. Within these webs, cells communicate with each other to control motor, cognitive and other functions.
A neuron, when activated, propagates an electrical signal. But that signal cannot cross the synapse — the junction between two neurons. So, communication from one neuron to the next is accomplished by the release of tiny membrane capsules containing signaling chemicals called neurotransmitters across the synapse.
The electrical signal triggers these capsules, called vesicles, to fuse with membrane at the neuron's pre-synaptic terminal, thereby releasing neurotransmitters into the cleft between the two cells. The neurotransmitters travel across the cleft, then activate receptors in the post-synaptic neuron, triggering an electrical signal in that next cell.
Because the neurotransmitter signal goes in one direction — from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic one — vesicles must be re-formed for the process to continue. "Recycling is a critical process to keep synapses functional," explains Professor Takahashi, leader of the Cellular & Molecular Synaptic Function Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST). In a study recently published in Cell Reports, Takahashi and his colleagues shed light on a poorly-understood part of vesicle recycling.
Vesicle recycling involves three steps: First, lipid membrane must be pinched off from the neuron's membrane to form vesicles, a process called endocytosis. Then, the vesicles must be refilled with neurotransmitter. Finally, filled vesicles must be transported to the release site. Although endocytosis has been well-studied, little was known about the refilling process. Prof. Takahashi, in collaboration with a former OIST researcher and colleagues at Doshisha University, now show that for at least one major type of synapse, refilling takes longer than endocytosis.
The findings show that the refilling step can determine the rate at which vesicles are recycled and reused at the synapse. Neuroscientists have long thought that it was endocytosis that limited the speed of recycling, says Prof. Takahashi. "However, we showed that vesicle refilling rate is also an important factor."
Neurons can form excitatory connections or inhibitory ones, depending on which neurotransmitters they release across the synapse. The neurotransmitter glutamate passes along an excitatory signal, meaning that it boosts the chance that the electrical signal from the first cell will be passed along to the second. The neurotransmitters GABA and glycine, on the other hand, transmit an inhibitory message, telling the subsequent cell not to fire.
At excitatory synapses, Prof. Takahashi's group has previously measured the rate at which glutamate is taken up into vesicles during recycling. However, this refilling rate had not been studied in inhibitory synapses. Prof. Takahashi and colleagues used glass electrodes to simultaneously take recordings from the pre-synaptic terminal and the post-synaptic terminal at an inhibitory synapse. They showed that, at inhibitory terminals, GABA is taken up into vesicles five to six times more slowly than glutamate at excitatory synapses.
The vesicular GABA uptake rate was estimated using a special technique called caged GABA compound UV photolysis. The researchers injected GABA that was "caged" by a synthetic compound that prevents it from refilling vesicles, into the pre-synaptic terminal. The neurotransmitter's release from the cage is controlled by UV illumination, which provides the energy to change the synthetic compound's 3D structure. Using a flash of UV light, the scientists could release the GABA into the pre-synaptic terminal at a specific moment and then measure the rate of uptake of GABA back into the vesicles.
Remarkably, they showed that the time taken to refill the vesicles with GABA is nearly identical to the overall time taken for a synapse to recover from synaptic depression – a neuron's inability to fire because the vesicles carrying the message across the synapse are used up. This implies that most of the recovery time is devoted to refilling the vesicles. In contrast, reforming the vesicles takes relatively less time. Vesicle refilling is time consuming because GABA is concentrated 10-100 times inside the vesicle, compared to the rest of the cell, using molecular pumps.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that the slow rate of refilling vesicles with GABA can be a rate-limiting step for the neurotransmitter recycling process at inhibitory synapses.
Since all inhibitory neurons in the brain use either GABA or glycine, a neurotransmitter which is recycled in the same way as GABA and refilled into vesicles using the same molecular pump, this principle likely applies to all inhibitory neurons in the brain. This suggests that the vesicle refilling process is crucial to maintaining many important brain functions.

"Winning for Clean Air Now! Understanding Oregon's Medical Waste Incineration Act"
Medical waste incineration is outdated and unnecessary!
The passage of Oregon's Medical Waste Incineration Act, SB 488 is critical to achieving clean air for the people of Oregon, particularly those living in the mid-Willamette Valley. The large amounts of air toxics emitted from Covanta's stack has impacted human and environmental health around Marion county for over 30 years.
SB 488 will close a regulatory loophole in Oregon's air quality laws that allows a municipal waste (trash) incinerator to burn large amounts of medical and industrial waste, including waste trucked in from out-of-state.
Greater volume means more toxic pollutants
Each year, Covanta Marion, Oregon's municipal waste incinerator, burns more than 176,000 tons of municipal, medical and industrial waste. In recent years, this incinerator has steadily increased the amount of out-of-state hospital and medical waste they burn. Burning medical waste, which is often plastics such as PVC, is known to emit more toxic pollutants than most municipal waste due to the complex nature of medical waste. As medical waste incineration increases, emissions of dioxin compounds and other dangerous chemicals also increase.
Trash dumps and waste incineration are, and have always been, an environmental justice issue because these polluting facilities are routinely placed in low-income and communities of color. SB 488 will close loopholes in the law that will reduce emissions from waste incinerators and provide a much-needed update to Oregon clean air laws. The result will be improved air quality for communities around waste incinerators now and into the future.
As outlined below, burning medical waste in a trash incinerator is only viable because of a federal loophole that allows weaker standards.
Waste Incineration is a source of highly toxic air emissions and climate pollutants
Incineration converts trash into toxic air, water and soil pollutants which disperse across communities.
Waste incineration is a large source of greenhouse gas, lead, ammonia, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium (VI), hydrochloric acid, mercury, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and sulfur dioxide emissions.
Waste incineration pollutes soils, rivers, and the air with heavy metals and toxic chemicals where they can harm human health and wildlife. Heavy metal ingestion by children causes learning disabilities, lowered IQ, hyperactivity, and attention deficit. 1, 2
Incineration of solid waste also creates new compounds like dioxins and furans, the most toxic class of chemicals known.
Dioxins are formed when organic materials (e.g., wood and paper) are burned in the presence of chloride products (e.g., PVCs from medical waste plastics). Dioxins are carcinogenic, cause birth defects, disrupt endocrine systems, suppress the immune system, and decrease fertility. 3
Does Oregon have a solid waste incinerator and what do we know about it?
Yes. The Covanta Marion incinerator is located in Marion County between the cities of Salem and Woodburn. The facility became operational in 1986. Now over 36 years old, Covanta Marion is older than the average useful life of most incinerators. A few facts:
Each year the incinerator burns more than 176,000 tons of municipal, medical and industrial waste.
Covanta Marion imports approximately 10,000 tons of out-of-state hospital and medical waste on an annual basis. This is over five times the amount that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses to classify a medical waste incinerator as "large."
A contract with Marion County allows the Covanta incinerator to burn up to 18,000 tons of out-of-state medical waste.
Covanta's emissions levels exceed limits for large new medical waste incinerators. 4 | See the Covanta Marion table
Covanta Marion's Municipal versus medical waste incineration: the regulatory loophole
Federal regulations for medical waste incinerators are far stricter than those for municipal waste (trash) incinerators. However, a loophole in EPA regulations allows an incinerator classified as a "municipal waste incinerator" to burn significant amounts of medical waste without being held to the much stricter medical waste incinerator emissions limits. Burning medical waste, which is often plastics such as PVC, is known to emit more toxic pollutants than most municipal waste. This regulatory loophole allows the Oregon's waste incinerator to be regulated under the weaker regulations governing municipal waste incinerator.
As a result, Covanta Marion can burn thousands of tons of imported medical waste while taking advantage of weaker municipal trash incinerator regulations. This makes Oregon a dumping ground for the toxic pollution that other states don't want.
SB 488 provides measurable protection by reducing air toxics emissions
By closing the regulatory loophole, SB 488 will appropriately regulate a large polluter and ensure stronger environmental protection and public health outcomes for all Oregonians. If passed, Oregon will apply the EPA's stricter air pollution limits to any incinerator burning enough medical waste to be classified as a large medical waste incinerator. Should a facility exceed the allowed weight of medical waste that gets incinerated, the Oregon DEQ will have the authority to apply the stricter air pollution emission limits required for medical waste incinerators set under federal law.
See Resources below
Covanta Marion and its pollution has been our focus since 2018. In our role as clean air watchdog, Beyond Toxics advocates for policies and regulations that will protect downwind communities from Covanta Marion's high emissions of toxic pollution. That's why we advocate for SB 488 to regulate Covanta Marion as a Large Hospital and Medical Waste Incinerator due to the large volume of medical waste it burns. Despite the process to issue Covanta a new permit under the Cleaner Air Oregon air quality regulatory program, Oregon's laws are far too weak to substantially reduce community exposure to dioxins, heavy metals and other toxic chemicals from Covanta's stack and ash piles. Beyond Toxics was instrumental in stopping SB 451, a 2019 bill introduced (at the request of Covanta) to increase their profits by trying to sell electricity at higher rates as a "renewable" energy facility. Incinerating waste is not renewable - Oregon must advance zero- waste practices, not incentivize corporations that profit off more waste! We've consistently worked with the community downwind of Covanta and Clean Air Now, a community-based coalition. Environmental monitoring and public education are central to our work. Find out more

There are measures we can all take to stop the spread of this thing.
Stopping the spread of COVID-19
A rundown of the symptoms, what to do, when, and other science-based information on COVID-19
Mike Davies
Mar. 16, 2020 7:30 p.m.
As a public service to the readers of the Campbell River Mirror, we have compiled some of the most relevant, factual, science-driven information available on COVID-19 prevention and mitigation factors into one place.
With many public spaces and businesses closing their doors to try and slow the spread of the virus, and many choosing to self-isolate to help that cause, here are a few things to keep in mind over the coming days and weeks.
The best way to avoid getting COVID-19
Wash your hands and stay away from other people.
Washing your hands with soap, for at least 20 seconds, as frequently as possible, is the best way to stave off the spread of COVID-19, as well as staying away from work, school, out of public spaces and away from groups of people.
"Now is the time to put some distance between us to keep our germs to ourselves," says B.C.'s top doctor, Dr. Bonnie Henry, reiterating crucial steps of prevention she has noted since mid-February.
RELATED: Borders, cases, bans: What you need to know about Canada and B.C.'s COVID-19 response
Symptoms of COVID-19
The symptoms of the novel coronavirus are similar to a common cold or flu, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
That includes a fever and cough but most importantly difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. In severe cases, symptoms can include severe lung infections.
Health officials have warned that it can take up to 14 days, or two weeks, for symptoms to appear and can range from mild to severe. Seniors and those with underlying medical conditions are most at-risk of seeing adverse impacts if they contract the virus.
Out of precaution, health officials have made it clear: if you feel sick, stay home.
Not all sick people require COVID-19 tests
This past weekend, Henry came out with a statement surrounding who and why people should or shouldn't get tested for the virus.
"Even if you have mild symptoms, or if you have no symptoms and you have returned from travel, you don't need testing," she told reporters during a Saturday news briefing. "We want to make sure that people with no symptoms understand they don't need to be tested for COVID-19."
She added that testing protocols will be focused on health care staff, those in long-term care homes and those linked to the existing outbreaks in North Vancouver. People who show serious symptoms, which include lung infections and extreme coughing, will also be tested after calling HealthLink BC at 811.
The province has tested more than 6,000 people, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, with 4,000 of those tests in the last few days. As people await their lab results, which can take two or more days, they are told to self-isolate. Those who travel outside of Canada, including to the U.S., will be asked to stay away from work, school and other public places for 14 days upon their return.
How the virus spreads
Coronavirus is transmitted through larger liquid droplets – such as when a person coughs or sneezes. That means the virus can enter a second person's system through their eyes, nose or throat if in close contact.
While the virus is not known to be airborne, or transmitted through the particles floating in the air, and it is not something that comes in through the skin, it can be spread by touch if a person has used their hands to cover their mouth or nose when they cough.
Health officials recommend to always cough or sneeze into the arm and wash your hands regularly. People should also avoid handshaking and hugs.
A good rule of thumb: Stay at least six feet away from another person.
What to do if you think you have COVID-19
Anyone who thinks they may have the virus is being urged not to panic, and most importantly to stay home.
Anyone in B.C. who develops symptoms should first call HealthLink BC, by dialing 811, to talk to a health care worker and determine the most appropriate next steps.
The nurses at HealthLink BC will complete an exposure risk assessment of callers with compatible symptoms, such as cough or influenza-like symptoms. In some cases, nurses may suggest a caller go see a health care provider for assessment and testing, either at an urgent primary care centre or walk-in clinic.
It is highly recommend that anyone who may have COVID-19 call ahead to tell the clinicians that they are coming.
COVID-19 testing is done through a nasopharyngeal swab or throat swab.
Anyone who is tested may be told to self-isolate until the tests can be analyzed in a laboratory. Test results can be found by calling the B.C. Centre for Disease Control coronavirus hotline at 1-833-707-2792.
What happens if you actually have COVID-19?
Anyone with COVID-19 is being placed in quarantine, at their home or in the hospital, for at least 14 days. In order to be released from quarantine, an infected person must have two consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart.
The BC CDC suggests that if you are sharing your home to stay and sleep in a room with good airflow that is away from others. Other precautions include using a separate bathroom, if you can, avoid sharing household items, flush the toilet with the lid down, and clean and disinfect common areas once a day.
At this time, there is no vaccine for this particular coronavirus, and health officials say it could take many years to create.
There is no specific treatment, but many of the symptoms can be managed with home treatment such as drinking plenty of fluids, rest and using a humidifier or hot shower to ease a cough or sore throat, according to HealthLink BC.
Most people recover from coronaviruses on their own, however for people with more serious illness, supportive care in or out of hospital may be needed.
Cancer patients surged to keep appointments
While cancer patients may have extra reason to be extra cautious during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to BC Cancer, the organization says it's important that they not change their cancer care.
"It's important to ensure your cancer care continues as scheduled, so please continue to go to your clinic appointments," the organization says, adding that it's not important to stockpile cancer medications, as BC Cancer Agency will work with patients to ensure they have their medications.
"Our advice for cancer patients is the same as for any other person," the organization says. "If you are healthy, wearing a mask is not recommended. The most important way to protect yourself is by washing your hands properly and avoid touching your face. Masks should only be used if you are sick to prevent transmission to others."

Sartrouville es una ciudad francesa situada en el departamento de Yvelines, en la región de Isla de Francia. Sartrouville está situada en la parte noroeste de la aglomeración de París a 17 km del centro de la capital francesa.

Nombre
En la Edad Media el nombre Sartrouville fue documentado en latín medieval como Sartoris Villa. El origen y el significado de Sartoris Villa continúa en debate. Algunos piensan que el nombre proviene del patronímico romano Saturus (probablemente un terrateniente Galo-Romano) y significa "estado (villa) de Saturus". Otros creen que la palabra sartoris proviene del participio pasado de exsartum ("brozado por cultivo"), a su vez de sartum ("azada"), y significa "finca de los despejadores de tierra", probablemente en referencia a la deforestación que tomó lugar alrededor de Sartrouville en la antigüedad o en la Alta Edad Media para permitir el cultivo de la tierra. La segunda interpretación parece más aceptable. La azada es uno de los elementos o "muebles" que se muestran en el blasón de la ciudad.

Transporte
Sartrouville tiene una estación Sartrouville y se puede ir con el tren a París con el RER línea A y también con la línea SNCF Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare. Hay líneas de autobuses para ir a La Defense (línea RATP), Le Vésinet, Montesson o Houilles.

EWEB has been working for several years on water reliability projects to ensure safe, reliable water continues to flow in our community. In addition to programs aimed at protecting water at the source, we are renovating the Hayden Bridge Water Filtration Plant, investing in our existing infrastructure, including replacing water mains and improving water pump stations, and developing neighborhood emergency water stations.
Our community is investing in water
Just as your household invests in an emergency kit, EWEB is making investments to prepare, replace and maintain our community's water system.
Emergency Water Stations
We are working with community partners to develop an emergency water supply program that includes several permanent distribution sites located throughout the community using groundwater wells, as well as mobile water trailers. As of January 2021, five sites are operational:
Prairie Mountain School - 5305 Royal Ave.
Howard Elementary School - 700 Howard Ave.
Eugene Science Center - 2300 Leo Harris Parkway
Lane Events Center/Fairgrounds - 796 W 13th Ave.
Sheldon Fire Station - 2435 Willakenzie Rd.
Two additional sites are planned—near Churchill High School and near Roosevelt Middle School.
If disaster strikes our community's water system and you need to obtain water from one of these distribution sites, you will need to bring your own storage containers. Learn how to clean and prepare water containers.
Want to learn more about emergency preparedness and stay up to date on electric and water resiliency projects?

Water Storage Tank Improvement Projects
In the next decade, we plan significant upgrades to the existing water storage systems at EWEB's College Hill and Hawkins Hill sites, and a new water storage facility near East 40th Avenue and Donald Street. The proposed projects will be built to seismic and contemporary operating standards, providing more than 40 million gallons of resilient, safe water storage.

Filtration Plant Improvements
We have invested more than $30 million upgrading, expanding and renovating our Hayden Bridge Water Filtration Plant. Over the past ten years, we have completed a series of seismic upgrades to the plant, including reinforcing basin walls and filter buildings and disconnecting an old flume from the filtration building. In early December 2019, we changed the way we disinfect drinking water, switching from chlorine gas to a liquid chlorine bleach that is manufactured on-site at our Hayden Bridge Filtration Plant. The new system, which uses coarse salt, water and electrolytic conversion to make sodium hypochlorite (bleach), allows us to store enough salt at the filtration plant to last three months.

Goose neck barnacle, goose-necked barnacle, goose barnacle, leaf barnacle • Pollicipes polymerus • Heiltsuk/Haíɫzaqv - X̌áyáq̓
Bottom: Nakwakto goose neck barnacles in a sea cave at low tide on a west-facing beach, Calvert Island. Photos by Becky Segal. Top photos by Kelly Fretwell (left) and Sara Wickham.
The goose neck barnacle is one of the more distinct-looking creatures found in the intertidal. This crustacean bears several whitish protective plates, including 5 large plates and numerous smaller ones. The barnacle attaches to substrates via a stalk (peduncle) that varies in length. The body of the barnacle can be up to 4.5 cm long, while the stalk can get to 15 cm. The flesh of this species is generally a more muted dark brown colour, but the Nakwakto variety is bright red due to the haemoglobin in the animal's blood: this variety found in the subtidal and areas not exposed to sun, meaning it does not produce the protective pigment found in sun-exposed goose neck barnacles and which masks the red colour.
Habitat & Range
Like most barnacles, this species dwells in the intertidal and subtidal on open, wave-exposed coasts to depths of 30 m or more. It has been reported growing on the skin of humpback whales as well. The goose neck barnacle is found on coastlines from southeastern Alaska to Baja California, Mexico, and possibly further south. A similar species, Pollicipes pollicipes, is found on the western shores of Europe and northern Africa.
The pelagic goose barnacle (Lepas anatifera) and Hill's goose is often called similar common names as the goose neck barnacle, but has many fewer plates and is found on free-floating objects in the open ocean.
Goose neck barnacles are edible — the flesh inside the stalk tastes similar to lobster — and have long been harvested by coastal First Nations. Currently the only commercial fishery in North America is found on Vancouver Island; this fishery is co-managed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation, and is considered sustainable by Ocean Wise. The similar P. pollicipes is harvested in Spain and Portugal, where it is considered a delicacy and overharvesting and poaching are concerns, leading to imports from BC. Gooseneck barnacle harvesting has typically been considered to be dangerous work, as the barnacles prefer high energy rocky sites — though many consider the high price the barnacles garner worth the risk and effort. The harvesting conditions were featured in BBC's Human Planet series, in the episode 'Oceans - Into the Blue', as well as in the PBS publication 'Made in Spain'. A video clip of the BBC episode is available here and here, and a segment of the PBS show can be found here.

Queer Women of Color Speak on Fashion and Body Image: What Makes You Feel Beautiful?
by Victoria McCarroll in Fashion & Style, Featured, Feminism, Health & Wellness, Women's Issues with 5 Comments
Open a magazine or turn on the television and chances are good you'll see someone talking about weight loss. In the United States, much of our media suggest that we are obsessed with our bodies, especially our waistlines. One ad sells a pill that will help you lose inches off your waist. Another ad tries to convince you that this exercise routine is the one to get you in shape.
In a culture where all women celebrities are thin, it's easy for women to develop unhealthy attitudes toward their bodies, seeing themselves as too fat, too small-chested, or too short to be beautiful. There are studies that show what unhealthy standards of beauty have done to the self-esteem of girls and women. Yet, few to none have focused their attention on the particular effect of white-dominated, western standards of beauty has had on women of color or LGBT women. Those in the intersection have been left out, almost entirely.
From our own team of interns here at QWOC Media Wire, candid responses about how women of color and LGBT people view their own bodies make it clear that even though everyone's story is unique, loving our bodies in spite of all the negative societal messages about beauty out there, isn't easy.
It was a process to get to a point where I acknowledged maybe I was just meant to be this way. I don't love my body, but I'm content with it.
What is at the crux of the struggle of positive self-image? A QWOC on our team affirms the obvious: "I find that some of my insecurity comes from media," she says, but then also credits the desire to be an athlete for some part of that insecurity. Another brings up her mother, who "is extremely thin herself, so she feels compelled to make her daughter that way."
Clothing and the heteronormative fashion industry can also be a problem, especially for gender variant people. One intern finds clothing that fits, though she knows "there is always going to be a compromise with fashion." She'd "rather find clothes that flatter [her] body than fashionable clothes that hug [her]in all the wrong places." Another of our interns, who identifies as genderqueer, says that "it's unfortunate that clothes aren't designed with recognition of how different people are shaped and how different people choose to express their gender presentation and style."
If the media, the fashion industry, and even family, do not acknowledge all the various shapes and sizes our bodies come in, how can queer women of color feel secure (and loved) in their bodies? The work of Taja Lindey and Colored Girls Hustle suggests one way.
Taja Lindey, a queer woman of color, runs Colored Girls Hustle. The website — and associated Etsy store — feature the art work of women of color. states that its goal is to "honor the creations, adorn the bodies, and affirm the strengths of women and girls of color." The store proudly showcases jewelry, photographs, artwork, and video performances by women of color.
In a world where women's bodies are constantly critiqued, exploited, and held up to impossible standards — i.e. "she must be tall," "she must be thin," "she must be perfect!" — Colored Girls Hustle offers a fresh perspective. There are no judgments made on the bodies these creations will adorn, and women of a range of sizes model the jewelry. The space, though seemingly remote in cyberspace, offers a refreshing break from the negative messages spewed by mainstream media, which often focuses on very thin bodies of a select group of white women.
"When we know our worth, it becomes intolerable to accept less than what we deserve," Lindey says on her Twitter. When queer women of color know what they are worth, what will they then demand? What demands are already being made, but not being met? And what responsibility to each of us as women and gender non-conforming people have to effect that change for ourselves?
There is much to be desired as far as revolutionizing how the bodies of non-heteronormative people, and women of color in particular are depicted and dissected by the media. However, from the work of women like Lindey and the words of my fellow interns, it seems that such women are already resisting, already leading the way.

i recently had my amp tech install the "hoffman" AB763 board to replace the guts of my DRRI. while i'm not sure it made the amp sound better (i also had him replace all four transformers with mercury magnetics iron), it certainly is "cooler" and will be easier to repair/mod in the future. one thing that definitely DOES sound better is the vibrato circuit, which is much more lush and warm-sounding. the build quality is excellent, with mil-spec soldering that dave reeves would approve of.

Exclusive Footage of RBR Appearing Before the FIA!
Posted in GIF-Tastic	| Tagged Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing	| Leave a reply
Horner, Translated
Let's see. . . . which excuse will seem the most valid? Augh! I wish one of these telemetry screens would just list some excuse options!"
Danke to Adam Scott.
Christian Horner says he doesn't know why Red Bull lost performance in China after being so strong in the first two races, but expects form to ebb and flow each weekend.
It was lack of one-lap pace relative to the opposition that ultimate tipped RBR towards starting on the medium tyre and using the soft at the end.
"I'm not sure, to be honest with you," said Horner when asked about the car's Shanghai form. "The last couple of years this track hasn't been out strongest. It has a heavy emphasis on front wear and degradation, you tend to be front limited here rather than rear. So we'll see next weekend whether things move around in Bahrain.
"I think we're seeing that qualifying is paying less of a premium than trying to preserve the tyres. Our car performs very, very well, it's a quick car, but a quick car abuses the tyre more, and the tyres can't cope with that.
"Obviously then we have to adapt our approach and set-up and the way that we operate the car to ensure that we get more out of the tyres. It's the same for everybody, it's just a different way of going about things."
Meanwhile Horner insisted that Vettel would have been at least third in China had he not got caught behind Nico Hulkenberg in the opening stint.
"Seb managed to pass Jenson, who he knew he had to clear quickly, but then Hulkenberg cruised past both of them, and that cost him quite a bit of time in that first stint.
"If Sebastian had found one more second in that first stint and not been locked up behind him his race would have been quite different. He would certainly have been on the podium, and maybe even second. I think it was the right thing to do, it was worth giving it a go."
Horner – It was Nico. It was software. It was the tyres. It was the track. We were out of major Constructor's Points not due to anything fucked up that happened in qualifying. . . Noooo. . .It's not the emotional pall of a dysfunctional family that everyone on the RBR paddock refuses to acknowledge. . . it's, uh. . .. . what phase of the moon are we in? I know we shouldn't have raced in China during the year of The Snake!

Two advantages: 1. Improves signal reception from Planet VettelEcclestone. 2. Muffles Mark's sobbing and Seb's chortling.
Takk to ESPNF1 for the link
Vettel's decision to ignore team orders and overtake Webber to take victory in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix has led to criticism of Vettel and left a question mark over Webber's future. Horner, however, defended Vettel by saying Webber would have done the same but admits it's the latest showing of a lack of trust between the two drivers.
"They're both competitive guys, they both race each other hard," Horner told Sky Sports. "There has been a breakdown of trust ever since Istanbul; it's something that we've had to manage since 2010 but the most important thing is that they do have a respect for each other when they race each other on track.
"What happened on Sunday was unfortunate but let's not pretend it hasn't happened the other way round or in other teams … if Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton had been in that position, they'd have done the same. If Mark Webber had been in that position we've seen him do the same. So let's not kid ourselves that this is something that is unique to Sebastian, this is something that is in any competitive driver's DNA."
Asked if he was confident Webber would remain with the team for the rest of the season, Horner replied: "Absolutely.
"Mark knows there was no conspiracy within the team at the weekend; we gave him the priority. Our intention was to shut the race down, to minimise the risk – particularly with the tyre deg that we'd seen – to see out that race, and it was the intent of the team that Mark would win that race."
Horner – "Sooooo, you see: It was our intent that Mark would win the race and the most important thing is that the drivers respect each other on the track, except that Seb disregarded both of those directives. And, for all my moral and bureaucratic prevarication, it's all moot, because any driver in that situation would've disregarded the team directive, and that makes it ok, except that it's not ok, except when it's ok. . . ..Ummmmmm. . . Could I sing you guys a few bars of 'Skyfall'?"

Briatore, Translated
Grazie a Planet F1 for the link.
Riiiiight. Tell me again how I don't know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about.
The triple World Champion had been told to hold station behind Webber heading into the final stages of Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix, with Webber in the lead and having been instructed to protect his tyres and turn down his engine.
Rather than follow the team's instructions, Vettel attacked and passed Webber, leaving the Australian and team principal Christian Horner fuming.
In the aftermath Vettel said that he had made a "big mistake" and apologised to Webber, a gesture that was met with a cold reception.
While Webber said that he needed time to consider what had happened, Briatore feels that the situation has gone too far to be mended.
"I think there's no relationship anymore," the Italian told RAI Radio.
"It was already very formal beforehand between the two Red Bull drivers, that was very clear last year, but I don't think this relationship can be fixed.
"They are two professionals, they will win races and so on, but it's unthinkable Mark may help Vettel in the future, and I don't think Vettel will help Mark.
"So we'll have two enemies inside a single team."
While unimpressed with Vettel's actions, Briatore was also critical of Horner – both for his approach to the situation and his decision to allow Adrian Newey to accept the constructors' award on the podium.
"Sepang was proof no one is in charge at Red Bull," he mused.
"Vettel is the boss there. You can't have a team manager also doing the driving.
"If there was a manager with balls, he (Horner) would have had them switch positions again.
Briatore – "I know nothing about the short con or the long con. Nooooo. Nothing. Not a thing. I wouldn't know anything about that nor do you have any proof to say that I might know anything about that.
No matter what you say about me, I will say this: I do know how do run a fucking team. As in: let's say I needed, as team principal, a driver to, um – hypothetically, of course – drive into a wall. If, when I ran this hypothetical team, that driver would. Run. His. Fucking. Car. Into. A. Wall. Because I said so. Because, I have, um, how do say. . . . . ? Mother-fucking balls. So, putting aside the fact that everything I'm talking about is hypothetical. I probably know what the fuck I'm talking about."

Ryan Steck - Fields of Fire
"You know Ryan Steck as the Real Book Spy. Now, get to know him as the author of Fields of Fire, his debut thriller featuring Marine Raider Matthew Redd in a battle that will leave you speechless and begging for more. Lock and load!" —Jack Carr, Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Hand
Waiting to be deployed on a critical mission, elite Marine Raider Matthew Redd stops to help a stranger and wakes up hours later to learn his team was wiped out in an ambush. Unable to remember anything, Redd can't deny the possibility that he's somehow responsible for the information leak that led to the massacre. He's given a deal to avoid a charge of treason, but it means walking away from the Corps and the life he loved.
As he faces his loss, Matty gets a cryptic message from his adoptive father, J. B.: "Trouble's come knocking. . . . Might need your help." He points his truck home to rural Montana, only to discover that J. B. is dead and the explanation for his death is far from satisfying. Determined to dig up the truth, Redd uncovers a dark global conspiracy with his hometown at the center and no team at his back—except one he might find among past friends, old enemies, and new allies, if he can figure out who to trust.

Foxconn Reportedly Wants to Build a $9 Billion Factory in a City That Doesn't Exist
The manufacturing facility located in Saudi Arabia's planned city of Neom would produce chips, displays, and EV components.

Saudi Arabia is planning to build a new city called Neom, and Foxconn is talking to the Saudi government about building a $9 billion manufacturing facility there.
As The Wall Street Journal(Opens in a new window) reports, people familiar with the matter claim the new facility would be a joint venture and multipurpose, meaning it could handle chip production alongside electronic displays and electric vehicle component lines.
The new factory will be located in the city of Neom(Opens in a new window) in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia. The one problem being, Neom doesn't exist yet. The Saudi government announced Neom back in 2017 and is planning to complete the first section by 2025. When finished, it's expected to become a new economic zone covering 10,000 square miles at an estimated cost of $500 billion.
The final location of Foxconn's facility is by no means set in stone, and the company is also thought to be talking to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) about the project. In return for building the facility, Foxconn is seeking financing, subsidies for power and water, and significant tax breaks.

Approval of any deal ultimately rests with Prince Mohammed, assuming Saudi Arabia ends up offering Foxconn a more attractive deal than the UAE. Foxconn would also need to be convinced Neom is actually going to be built in a timely manner and will offer reliable access to power and water before it commits to this new desert facility.

The challenge is balancing regulations and the driving experience.
The Z and GT-R are among the most revered nameplates from Nissan, if not in all of auto-dom. Both, however, are in generations that have lasted a decade or so with no hints from the company about their futures. So, whenever a top Nissan executive whispers a phrase about either model, enthusiasts take notice.
The most recent utterance comes from Chief Planning Officer, Philippe Klein, who told Top Gear that the company is pondering the next step for both the Z and GT-R. Klein says that while performance cars are "under the gun of regulations," that the company doesn't want to let go of these cars so easily. "The emotion is still there, for us and for our customers," Klein said.
Klein then hinted that Nissan is considering an electrified option for both vehicles. "I don't know how much experience you have with EVs, but they are very fun to drive," he told Top Gear, alluding to the accelerative abilities and low center of gravity inherent in electric cars.
"The driving experience is very high on our priority list," Klein reassured, adding that the challenge is how to maintain that experience while conforming to regulations is a challenge.
If any company has the ability to do that, though, it's Nissan, who, in their alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi comprises one of the largest car companies in the world. If carmakers like Honda, BMW, and Mazda can do it, so can Nissan.

Arbitration Clause unenforceable: Heller vs Uber
Ref: Heller v. Uber Technologies Inc., 2019 ONCA 1
In one of its first decisions of this year, the Ontario Court of Appeal grappled with the enforceability of a arbitration clause in the contract of adhesion formed between Uber drivers and Uber Technologies Inc through the Uber Driver App.
Facts: The plaintiff sought to bring a class action claim against Uber on behalf of all Uber drivers or "Partners" in Ontario seeking a declaration that they were employees protected by the minimum provisions of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) , not independent contractors, and further that the arbitration provisions of the services agreements entered into between the parties were void and unenforceable. Uber sought to have the claim stayed in favour of International arbitration under ICC rules in the Netherlands, as required by those agreements.
Decision Below: The Court below held that arbitration agreements freely entered into are enforceable, even when entered through contracts of adhesion: Seidel v. TELUS Communications Inc., [2011] 1 S.C.R. 531; Wellman v. TELUS Communications Company, 2017 ONCA 433. Any exception to this principal must come from the relevant legislation (either the International Commercial Arbitration Act, 2017, or the Arbitration Act, no important issue turning on which Act was relevant). The Arbitration Act sets out exceptions to the enforcability of arbitration agreements at s.7(2):
A party entered into the arbitration agreement while under a legal incapacity.
The arbitration agreement is invalid.
The subject-matter of the dispute is not capable of being the subject of arbitration under Ontario law.
The motion was brought with undue delay.
The matter is a proper one for default or summary judgment
As the plaintiff's claim did not fall into any of the statutory exceptions, the motions judge held that the arbitration provisions were enforceable and accordingly stayed the action in favour of international arbitration. The plaintiff appealed.
Decision – Illegal Contracting Out: On preliminary motions the Court begins with the assumption that the plaintiff's claim may be established; the pleadings are taken at their face value. The question for the Court of Appeal was not whether the plaintiff was in fact an employee or an independent contractor; that is the issue proposed for trial. The question on preliminary motion is whether, if the plaintiff's claims are accepted, the arbitration clause would be prohibited by the ESA.
The ESA provides at s.96 the right for any employee to make a complaint to the Ministry of Labour in respect of any alleged breach of the ESA by their employer. Such a complaint results in an investigation by an Employment Standards Officer and ultimately a decision on the substance of the complaint. An employee may not make such a complaint if they have brought a civil proceeding relating to the same matter. An arbitration is not a civil proceeding, and therefore a mandatory arbitration clause purports to oust the right of redress provided under the ESA, which is unlawful and invalid within the meaning of s.7(2) of the Arbitration Act.
Decision – Unconscionability: The Court further held that, independent of its conclusion on the application of the ESA, it would find the arbitration provision unconscionable and therefore also invalid within the meaning of s.7(2) of the Arbitration Act. There are four elements to establishing contractual unconscionability, as set out in Titus v. William F. Cooke Enterprises Inc., 2007 ONCA 573, at para. 38; see also Phoenix Interactive Design Inc. v. Alterinvest II Fund L.P., 2018 ONCA 98:
a grossly unfair and improvident transaction;
a victim's lack of independent legal advice or other suitable advice;
an overwhelming imbalance in bargaining power caused by the victim's ignorance of business, illiteracy, ignorance of the language of the bargain, blindness, deafness, illness, senility, or similar disability; and
the other party's knowingly taking advantage of this vulnerability.
The Motions judge had incorrectly determined that only "significant" disputes would be determined by arbitration in the Netherlands; on the contrary, however, the Court of Appeal found that there was no scope whatsoever within the arbitration provision for disputes to be resolved in Ontario. The only reason that foreign arbitration would be restricted to significant disputes is that the ICC rules require payment in advance by the parties of arbitrators fees and the costs of arbitration, which the Court found as a matter of fact would require up front payment by the plaintiff of USD$14,500, before costs of travel, accommodation, and counsel. The plaintiff's income amounted to $400-$600 weekly.
While the motions judge had apparently considered the contractual agreement (including arbitration clause) to be a normal commercial agreement; the Court of Appeal, by contrast, noted the gross inequality of bargaining power between the parties and concluded that the Arbitration Clause was in fact designed to defeat the very kinds of claims it purported to exist to resolve.
This was, accordingly, a grossly unfair bargain, in respect of which the plaintiff had no legal advice, made in the context of an overwhelming imbalance of bargaining power, and crafted by Uber to take advantage of that bargaining power to defeat potential claims rather than to resolve them.
For both reasons, the Court found in favour of the appealing plaintiff, finding the arbitration clause invalid and overturning the granted stay.

Q: Why should we use @Startup for timer service in EJB? I had a service as:
@Singleton
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class JobTest {

    @Resource
    private TimerService timerService;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        timerService.createTimer(0,1000, "Every second timer with no delay");
    }

    @Timeout
    public void execute() {
        System.out.println("execute your job here");
    }

}

However, the job wasn't executed. But when added @Startup to the service, the code run as expected. Could you explain why we needed @Startup to use timerService resource.

A: EJB container does not create instances of managed beans unless those are being looked up, injected, or annotated with @Startup. The method annotated with @PostConstruct is never called for the EJB in the question, therefore the timer is never created, therefore no callbacks occur.
If you have to use programmatically created timers (due to delay value coming from the configuration), you need to force the eager initialization - by either annotating the bean with the @Startup or injecting it into another @Startup bean.
Another option is to use automatically created timers by annotating a method with the @Schedule annotation, though the timer configuration is hardcoded in this case.


So the best thing I have learned from my new job is that it is OK to steal things. Ok maybe not things but ideas at least. If something inspires you, why shouldn't you use that to your advantage? Lately I've been writing nonstop about how I am so inspired by so many other people. I don't feel weird about this at all. Right now I am trying new things and doing stuff that I normally wouldn't do. It may seem uninspiring to some that I am feeding off of others as opposed to going with my own thoughts but right now I am NOT the expert. I'm taking all that I can from the "experts."
I've been losing weight and doing really good on my diet for the past three weeks. This weekend I probably went a little overload on my portions (thank you Erica's BBQ =] ). It's summer time and that is bound to happen. Just gotta be careful, that's all. I'm being more careful about what I eat on a regular basis. I do like the results I'm getting. I wish I had measured myself before all of this and taken before pictures. =\ But that's ok, the end result is all I'm after.

Q: Pullback of a Global Section Set $f:Y \to X$ be a morphism between schemes and $s \in \Gamma(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$ be a global section.
The map $f$ induces a functor $f^*$ (so called pullback functor) that pulls back $\mathcal{O}_X$-modules over $X$ to $\mathcal{O}_Y$ modules.
Futhermore for the global section $s$ I often encounter the notation $f^*s$ ("pullback of a global section")
Using the well know adjunction correspondence between pullback and pushforward we get for arbitrary sheaf $\mathscr F$  a natural morphism of sheaves $\mathscr F\to f_* f^*\mathscr F$. Obviously this induces in functorial sense a map between global sections
$$H^0(X,\mathscr F)\to H^0(X,f_* f^*\mathscr F)=H^0(Y,f^*\mathscr F)$$
which exactly maps $s$ to $f^*s$.
Formally that's ok. My problem is how it concretely looks like.
The most easiest case that $X= Spec(R), Y= Spec(A)$ and $f$ is induced by the ring map (=map between global sections) $\varphi_f: R \to A$.
Therefore every $r \in R$ is a global section.
How concretely in this case the pullback $f^*r \in A$ looks like and how to derive/conclude it?

Lonzo Ball says Brandon Ingram is 'becoming his own man'
Jacob Rude
In LeBron James' first year with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers young core of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and Kyle Kuzma have been challenged to fit next to James. Some of succeeded, like Kuzma and Hart, while others have struggled at times, none more so than Ingram.
Ingram's fit next to James has been questioned as the two have not gelled seamlessly in the opening 30 games of the season. However, that doesn't mean that Ingram, who is in his third year in the league, hasn't continued his progression and development as a prospect.
After the Lakers loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, Ball talked about Ingram, who is expected to re-join the team for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
"He's growing up. He's becoming his own man. He looks at himself as one of the leaders on this team; we look to him to give us basically 20-a-night. He can guard multiple positions so he plays both ends of the court."
Ingram's fit next to James has been the primary talking point of his season but Ingram has also continued to look impressive in his own right this season. In fewer minutes than last season, Ingram is averaging 15.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 47 percent from the field, 32.4 percent from three-point territory and 62.6 percent from the line.
Normalized to his per-36 minutes, Ingram's scoring is up while his rebounds and assists have taken slight hits as has his shooting efficiency, though by small margins. This has come despite Ingram's usage percent actually increasing this season, albeit by just half-a-percent.
For all of the faults of Ingram, whose game has been an odd fit next to James. Still, though, Ingram is just 21 years old and is averaging at least 15 points a game in a second-straight season. And none of this talks about his defensive impact, which has actually been more noticeable this season when he hasn't been on the court for the Lakers, as has been the case in recent weeks.
Ingram's development may not be ideal given what fans want him to become but he's still developing into a special player in the league and could still yet become a vital part of the Lakers future.

         this.text1=this.text1.substr(0,this.text1.length-lastword.length);
         this.text2=lastword;
      this.el2.first.nativeElement.focus();
