One of the first things a visitor notices at the Power Magnetics office in Trenton is the collection of the Brooklyn Bridge artwork covering the walls. "Despite being an electrical engineer, I have always been fascinated by bridges and the Brooklyn Bridge in particular" said Carl A. Bannwart, Power Magnetics' president. The bridge was one of the great engineering marvels of the 19th century, and, astoundingly, is expected to last to the 22nd century. John Roebling used many groundbreaking innovations in design and construction, and the quality of the engineering speaks for itself. Also, Roebling's unique vision included an esthetic grace and elegance rarely matched."As a student of the bridge, I gradually realized its symbolic value – as well as the obvious Trenton connection with the Roeblings and steel – was important to Power Magnetics, and in fact is emblematic of our mission of innovation, engineering, and endurance. We are proud to say that our products are 'Built like the Brooklyn Bridge'," stated Carl A. Bannwart.

Power Magnetics, Inc. — Built Like the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge, designed by John Augustus Roebling and built by his son, Washington Roebling, both of Trenton, New Jersey, is one of the great engineering marvels of the 19th century, having been completed in 1883. The largest span of any bridge of its time, the Brooklyn Bridge remained the largest in the world for 20 years. The engineering genius of John Augustus Roebling innovated basic concepts that are state of the art to this very day. For instance, if those concepts had they been adhered to, the spectacular failure of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940, would have been prevented. The Senior Roebling's unique vision included not only structural integrity beyond dispute, but also an aesthetic grace and elegance rarely matched.
The suspension bridge continually receives punishing use and has endured well, despite loads many times what Roebling originally designed for. Today the bridge is one of America's greatest icons, admired by people from around the world. It is undergoing a massive renovation, and is expected to last well into the 22nd century.
Power Magnetics is a proud inheritor of the engineering and manufacturing tradition initiated by the Roeblings in Trenton. Claiming this mantel, we are proud to say that our products are "Built like the Brooklyn Bridge."

The Power Magnetics Story
Carl T. Bannwart, the founder of Power Magnetics was a brilliant and charismatic individual who also had a strong, brilliantly creative streak — as many maverick trailblazers do. In 1968, Carl T., Don Kupper, his engineer, and George McCauley, his factory manager, founded Power Magnetics over drinks at his dining room table.
During that fall the company was incorporated and the factory was set up in rented space over on East State Street in part of the old Thropp Building. The first transformer was finished during Christmas break, and delivered to a New Jersey customer, CML Communications in North Jersey. Carl's wife was the bookkeeper and generally helped out in the office.
In the summer of 1973, Carl's son, Carl A. Bannwart started designing transformers and in December of 1973, graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Magna Cum Laude.
During the next couple of years, life at Power Magnetics was very busy with the usual business challenges, complicated with Carl T.'s poor health. The chaos culminated in his death from a heart attack on May 15, 1975.
Carl A.'s brother Paul and he elected to buy the building in an economic development zone at Reservoir and Marion in 1983. Though the office in particular had been pretty thoroughly vandalized, they fixed the place up and moved in during the summer of 1984.
The next decade and a half, they started making CLR's, current-limiting reactors, for the precipitator industry as well as load bank reactors and medium voltage trap reactors. The company also established supply contracts with several large American machine tool manufacturers.
In engineering, they started using Paul Goethe's Optimized Program Services software and AutoCAD design. The development of furnace transformers for the American heat treating business added to the product lines. The phase changer business for commercial and industrial infrastructure for regional developers became a small business all its own.
Nonetheless, the basic question still remained unanswered: What major product line will take the company into the future? Carl knew that their best competitors had succeeded by finding a niche and thought by copying one of their "niches", could find success; but this hadn't worked. They had always been good at making reactors, but always felt that the construction was problematic and too labor intensive.
Then it came in a flash. Jack Agnew, in engineering, and Carl were discussing the merits of a particular manufacturing process. Jack commented on a methodology they both knew and Carl realized immediately that this was the way they needed to make reactors. It took a few years to get the process perfected because of capital required and time to put the pieces of the engineering puzzle together.
Understanding the power of the concept is related to the expression 'there are very few bargains in life!' How many of us have been wowed by a price, only to be disappointed later by quality or service? Similar rules apply in engineering; if you want more or better features: you generally have to pay for them. With the company's new construction, its reactors run cooler, are quieter in operation, have a longer operating life AND are less costly to manufacture. In this case, Power Magnetics offers a true bargain and its reactors have become the industry standard.
Today it feels like the company is just getting warmed up. New business is being won from large, international customers based on the Innovation, Engineering and Endurance of the engineering that provides them unparalleled performance and reliability, and it seems there is more over the near horizon. The company has plans for a small addition to the building and plans to double its business capacity and employment in the next few years, and then with any luck double it again. The Trenton community and the company's employees have been there for Power Magnetics through thick and thin, and it will be there for them. Its work is not done.
It may seem trite, but PMI enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry for Innovation, Engineering and Endurance that is widely recognized as being among the best of any manufacturer. The company continues to win business from customers who are increasingly unable to tolerate field failures from lesser products by other manufacturers. Truly, its products are "Built Like the Brooklyn Bridge" that exemplifies brilliant engineering and service durability far beyond what anyone ever expected.
As one VP of an aerospace firm told his Purchasing Manager recently, "Buy the reactors from Power Magnetics. Theirs are nearly impossible to destroy. They last forever!"

Our teeth contain pulp, which is a mixture of nerves and blood vessels, at their center, also called the "roots." Sometimes, bacteria find their way into the tooth's roots, causing infection. Root canal treatment is the process of removing the infection from the center of the tooth. Without root canal therapy, the tooth would eventually need to be extracted.
Call us at Bellevue Office Phone Number 425-641-4111.
In the past, it was common for root canal treatment to take place over two visits. However, thanks to advancements in technology, that is no longer necessary – we are proud to offer our patients single-visit root canals for their comfort and convenience.
No – your tooth will be totally numb during the procedure and for some time after. Some patients experience mild discomfort as the anesthesia wears off, but usually all that is needed is over-the-counter pain medication to eliminate post-procedure pain. Most importantly, patients who were in pain prior to the procedure will be very happy to find the pain gone after.
First we will numb the tooth and surrounding area to ensure that you are pain-free. After the anesthesia has taken affect, a dental dam is placed over the tooth to isolate and protect it. We then create a small opening at the center of the tooth and remove the infected pulp. The canal is then sanitized and filled, and a temporary crown is placed on top. You will then return to us for your permanent crown. The procedure is very similar to having a filling placed.
Root canal treatment is the most important tool we have for saving your natural teeth for life! Please call us at Bellevue Office Phone Number 425-641-4111.

The Koolhoven Heidevogel was one of the first Dutch aircraft, an improvement of the popular Farman type.

Development
Frits Koolhoven began as car dealer and racing driver but his entry into aviation came in partnership with Henri Wijnmalen whose uncle was the Verwey in the motor car manufacturing business, Verwey and Lugard.  An aviation department of the latter developed, with Koolhoven dominant in the factory and Wijnmalen running the flying school.

The Heidevogel (Heathbird or Heatherbird) was one of several pioneer aircraft based on the Farman III and generally known as "Farman types", though it had several modifications to the wings, rudders and accommodation. It was a multi-bay, unequal span biplane with no stagger and wings of constant chord, braced with pairs of parallel interplane struts. Ailerons provided lateral control.

The empennage was supported by an open frame fuselage with longitudinal upper and lower pairs of longerons or booms, each side braced with four vertical strut pairs. At the rear, fixed and almost square horizontal tailplanes stretched between the upper and the lower pairs of booms. A pair of trapezoidal rudders were hinged on the last two verticals, assisted by another central one further forward.  The elevator was all moving and mounted ahead of the wings on a pair of vertically converging booms with vertical cross braces.

In Farman types the pilot sat over the wing, completely exposed, with the 37 kW (50 hp) seven cylinder Gnome Omega rotary engine behind him in pusher configuration; Koolhoven added a pod or gondola, its flat sides curving together to a sharp edge at the front. The undercarriage consisted on each side of a pair of wheels on either side of a skid, curved up at the front.  Each skid was mounted on two vertical struts attached below the wing at the bases of the innermost interplane struts and laterally braced with an inner diagonal strut to the wing underside. A long, curved tailskid was fixed just ahead of the leading edge of the tailplane.

Operational history
Both Koolhoven and Wijnmalen flew the Heidevogel throughout 1911 but Verwey and Lugard went bankrupt at the end of the year.

Central Bank to Provide Refinancing Facility to Microfinance Companies for the First Time
January 12: Nepal Rastra Bank has opened registration for refinancing facility to microfinance companies until January 25. Issuing a statement on Monday (January 11), the central bank has asked for submission of forms to avail refinance service to the microfinance companies. According to the central bank, bad debtors of microfinance companies since long time can also benefit from the scheme.
Prior to this, the refinance facility was provided only to commercial and development banks and finance companies. The central bank has fixed the maximum interest rate for microfinance companies at 15 percent and this is expected to provide some relief to the bad debtors.
Acting Executive Director of the Banks and Financial Institutions Regulation Department of NRB Kiran Pandit informed that the central bank has allocated a lump sum of Rs 21 billion to provide to the microfinance companies for refinancing.
According to Pandit, microfinance companies will have to reduce the interest rate of bad debtors to 5 percent irrespective of what rate they were charged before.
"We will give a lump sum to the microfinance companies. They will be able to invest the amount," said Pandit.
He added that the central bank has not sought the details of the debtors because microfinance companies provide small scale loan. The central bank will finalize the reduction of interest rate after reviewing the applications submitted by the microfinance companies.
The latest data of NRB show that there are altogether 76 microfinance companies in Nepal after their merger and acquisition. Each microfinance company is entitled to receive Rs 270 million in average. However, microfinance companies can seek funds for refinancing up to 65 percent of their capital fund of last quarter. Therefore, the central bank will be providing between Rs 60 million to Rs 200 million to each microfinance company based on their quarterly report.

Queensland Coat of Arms
By JOL Admin | 23 July 2013
Guest blogger: Niles Elvery - Manager, Public Access, Queensland State Archives
Queensland's Coat of Arms is the oldest State Arms in Australia. The Coat of Arms is a heraldic device, symbolising the Crown's constitutional authority in the Colony (later the State) of Queensland. The motto, Audux at Fidelis, means Bold but Faithful.
Correspondence on the proposed designs and selection of the original Queensland Coat of Arms is held at the Queensland State Archives.
Sir Albert Woods, Garter King of Arms from the Heralds College in London, produced four designs for the proposed Queensland Coat of Arms to be submitted to the Chief Secretary for Queensland, Sir Samuel Walker Griffith, for final selection. In a letter dated 2 December 1892 addressed to Sir Samuel Walker Griffith from Sir James Garrick (Agent-General for Queensland), the four proposed designs were enclosed as well as the following direction to ensure complete secrecy around the selection process:
"In consequence of the shortness of time for the preparation of the panel for the Conference Room in the Imperial Institute, I suggest that your decision should be communicated by telegraph, either of the following code words will accordingly be understood to convey your approval of the particular drawing indicated vizt.
"Halfpay" Drawing A
"Halfprice" " " B
"Iceblink" " " C
"Icebound" " " D
I am personally in favour of Drawing B."

Qld Coat of Arms B, Queensland State Archives. QSA Item ID 860855 12429 93
Qld Coat of Arms C, Queensland State Archives. QSA Item ID 860855 12429 93
Qld Coat of Arms D, Queensland State Archives. QSA Item ID 860855 12429 93
Queensland State Archives Item ID 860855 (letter number 12429/1893)
Drawing B was the design chosen by Sir Samuel Walker Griffith for the Queensland Coat of Arms. The Queensland Coat of Arms, also known as the Armorial Ensign of Queensland, was granted to the Colony of Queensland by Royal Warrant of Queen Victoria in 1893.
In line with the economic priorities of the 19th century, symbols of primary industries and mining are featured on the chosen Coat of Arms design. The heads of a bull and a ram, a sheaf of wheat and two stalks of sugar cane represent the major rural industries. The badge of the Maltese Cross with crown has altered over time to represent the changes in the English monarchy.
The Queensland Coat of Arms – with the red deer and brolga added as supporters to the design – was granted in 1977 during the Silver Jubilee year of Queen Elizabeth II. In heraldry, supporters are figures usually placed on either side of the shield. For Queensland's Coat of Arms, the red deer represents the old world – and is a classic animal of heraldry – whereas the Brolga, Australia's only native crane, represents the native population of Queensland.
Queensland State Archives' collection includes many treasures which document Queensland's history, and researchers can visit the Public Search Room at Runcorn to discover their own treasures.

San Jacinto, CA has 50 private money lenders offering loans in the city. In this city, the average amount loaned is $327,500. The average rate for loans in San Jacinto is 8.8%. 16 months is the average length for loans offered in this city. The average origination fee for loans is 3.4 points. The typical loan-to-value for loans in San Jacinto is 74%.
Mitchell takes a loan from Big Lake Funding Corporation in order to remodel a house to resale in the Valle Vista area of San Jacinto, CA. The list price of the property is $290,000. The terms of the loan include a 65% loan-to-value (LTV), so he must contribute 35% of the price as cash to closing, which makes the principle loan amount $188,500. The note is interest only, with monthly payments, and is for 18 months at 14% interest with 2 origination points to be paid at closing.
Mitchell must contribute a total of $32,400 upon closing to cover the $101,500 down payment in addition to the $3,770 origination fee. The monthly interest only payments will then total $2,199 to the lender. Mitchell 's plan is to finish the renovation within the 18 months and re-sell it for $391,500. If he succeeds he will earn a gross profit of $58,145 ($391,500 price - $188,500 principle amount - $101,500 cash at closing - $3,770 origination fee - $39,585 in total interest paid.


To make cake taste anywhere near decent it will never quite hit the healthy stakes of cauliflower or broccoli, but this recipe really does do a good job of a deliciously chocolately muffin whilst ticking the healthier box too!
These are dairy free and refined sugar free and a great one to make with the kids.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees / 160 degrees fan/ gas mark 4.
Place cake cases into a muffin tin ready. I like to use the silicone ones as it stops the cakes sticking.
In a large bowl mash the bananas until as smooth as possible.
Then add the eggs, coconut yoghurt, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir well to remove any lumps.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet as well as the chocolate chips. Stir gently until combined.
Fill the muffin cases and bake in the oven for around 30 minutes until a skewer comes out mostly clean (don't overdo them or they will lose all their lovely goeyness inside).


Last night was pretty awesome... it was a gorgeous autumn night in Minneapolis and I spent it at Orchestra Hall listening to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra... my favorite piece was by Doug Wemble... it was a suite titled "Stuart Davis for the Masses" and my favorite movement was "garage lights"... I am an artist too... so I felt I could relate to the suite... especially THAT movement. I have spent a lot of my time feverishly working in basements with low lights... or apartments after dark on a hot night... or in the wee hours of the morning when no one else is alive... there was an urgency to that movement... that I feel when I paint... I LOVED it!

New Twitter Boss Parag Agrawal Enters The Limelight
Parag Agrawal started on Twitter as a product engineer and is now the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
It is probably the most important characteristic for assessing a Twitter profile: the number of followers. Measured against this, the new Twitter boss is a little light – only around 24,000 users followed Parag Agrawal before announcing the change in leadership on the platform. With the previous head of the company and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, there are almost six million. Agrawal had so far remained in the background as the company's technology expert. But now he's the new number one.
Agrawal (according to various sources 37 or 38 years old) joins the growing list of Indian tech talents taking on leadership positions in US technology companies. At Alphabet, the parent company of Google, the now 49-year-old Sundar Pichai took over the management in 2015, at Microsoft in 2014, the now 54-year-old Satya Nadella.
"He Leads With Heart And Soul"
Agrawal took the lead on Twitter – how could it be otherwise – via tweet. "Thank you, Jack, I'm honored," he wrote. The technology expert takes up his new position when the company wants to move away from controversial discussions about the limits of freedom of expression – and move towards more impressive profits.
Dorsey praised his successor: "He was behind every critical decision that helped put this company on the right track," he wrote to the 5,500 employees of Twitter. "He leads with heart and soul, and I learn from him every day. My trust in him is deep. "

Agrawal Specializes In Machine Learning, Cryptocurrencies, And Cloud Technologies
Agrawal studied computer science and engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai and then received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in California. He came to Twitter in 2011, and six years later, he took over technical management. In this role, Agrawal dealt with many topics that will continue to play a central role for Twitter: machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) and the Group's technical strategy.
His focus areas made him an obvious candidate for corporate management, says analyst Carolina Milanesi from Creative Strategies: "AI and ML will become increasingly important in the future to make the platform a healthier and more engaging environment for users, and more profit for the company. "
Twitter Is Not Yet Profitable
Compared to its neighbors in Silicon Valley, Twitter's profits have so far been meager. The company also experienced significantly less growth than Google or Facebook. The company's current market valuation is around 36.6 billion US dollars. The company, founded in 2006, was profitable for the first time in 2017 – but since then, the Group has repeatedly slipped into the red.
Twitter also made a name for itself in the discussion about freedom of expression – personified in what is probably the best-known and most controversial Twitter user, former US President Donald Trump. In the public eye, the previous boss Dorsey is best known for his controversial decision to remove the former US president from the platform.
The new company boss Agrawal wants to stay away from such controversies. In an interview with the "MIT Technology Review" in 2020, he said that Twitter should focus less on discussing freedom of expression in the future. He sees the company's role as a "service provider for a healthy public discussion" – accordingly, Twitter will take the steps that lead there.

When we visit the market or ask any manufacturer, we get plenty of options to select from different types of electric gates. But slide gates are recommended to be installed due to many benefits they offer. In contrast to barrier arm gates, they cover full entrance area preventing not only vehicles but also pedestrians to enter the property without prior permission. This is the first reason to go with slide gates because they give you full control over your property by blocking the way of unwanted people until you allow them to enter your office after proper verification.
Another reason to go with slide gates is because they are less risky as compared to vertical lift gates that have the element of falling out all the way down on people crossing the entrance. Basically, vertical lift gates are supported by two polls installed on each side and work on vertical bases by moving up and downward.
As the polls may develop rust with continuous friction, so there's always a risk of vertical gates to fall down if not taken care of properly. But as far as it is concerned with slide gates, they don't need side polls because they move on small wheels underneath them by moving horizontally. So you can install them and stop worrying about any possible accident as you may encounter if using vertical lift gate at the entrance. Therefore maintenance is minimal and any other parts can be purchased from The Electric Gate Store.
Thirdly, slide gates open by sliding through the fence or wall horizontally so they require less space for opening or closing. Slide gates are ideal for those businesses that have less space at the entrance and can't afford to occupy much space for swinging gates to open the door when anybody enters the premises. With this feature of sliding through the wall, slide gates give you much space to utilize for other purposes to make best use of your workplace. And as they slide through the wall, there are less chances for anybody of getting hit by a gate partly opened.
Slide gates come in all shapes and sizes to best serve your purpose. A good manufacturer will inspect the site and craft a nice slide gate by keeping the exterior design and space available at the entrance area. This would add more value to your property and give the customers and even employees a professional look as compared to cantilever gates that do slide through the fence but usually are large in size.


The sewer drain field, or septic drain field, is located just past your septic tank, away from your property. This is an element of your septic system that helps to distribute liquid back into the soil after the waste has been processed in the septic tank. It is important that you are able to tell some of the signs to look for that there might be problems brewing with your sewer drain field in Mukilteo so that you can have it fixed sooner than later.
Standing Water – Your drain field pipes can be vulnerable to root infiltration from nearby shrubs and trees. If the pipes are broken, the material can seep into the drain field and the breakage can prevent the material from being evenly distributed. Standing water could be due to a blockage or clog. Another possible issue could be that the drain field is cannot absorb the right amount of water after an overabundance of rain.
Sewage Backup – In some cases, a homeowner may notice that they have wastewater backing up into their home drains or there might be sewage that is seeping into the basement. This is a hazardous situation that needs to be addressed by a septic professional as soon as possible.
Toilet Issues – If you notice that you have slower drainage than usual and you have to flush your toilets more than once, it could be a sign of potential problems with the drain field or the septic tank.
When you have problems with your sewer drain field in Mukilteo, you need to call the pros. You can reach Schleg Valley Construction at (425) 312-6750.


Amongst one of the most prevalent electrical wiring queries is on how to wire a swap. While making use of switches at your house is kind of quick, wiring a single may well not be that simple for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will discover various kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you might be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, a very popular change (and also the most straightforward).
You will find 3 hues of wires in the standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them over the terminal screws - 1 on major plus the other about the base screw from the switch. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted electrical power and is particularly typically related into a gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire to your ground screw of your switch.
These actions would usually be adequate to produce a typical change work without a trouble. However, in the event you are not confident that you simply can attain the undertaking properly and safely you much better let the professionals do it as a substitute. Following all, you will find a reason why this activity is one of the most typical electrical wiring issues questioned by the majority of people.
For many reason, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is also amongst quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this task, you should use a single switch for a single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it is really merely a issue of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan into the black wire with the switch. If there is a light, the blue wire really should be connected towards the black wire of your change too.
There are good reasons why these are probably the most usually asked electrical wiring questions. Just one, several assume it truly is simple to accomplish, and two, they're the prevalent electrical responsibilities in your own home. But then you mustn't put your protection at risk inside your goal to save cash. The stakes could even be substantially larger if you endeavor to spend less and do an electrical wiring position devoid of sufficient knowledge or practical experience.


After a chance opportunity resulted in the purchase of his first investment property in 2007, Simon learned the hard way that while investing in real estate could be lucrative, it comes with its own set of headaches. Having dealt with flooded basements, infestations and nightmare tenants, he realized that for real estate investing to be worth it, it needed to be easy. This meant not only making property management easy, it also meant planning for taxes and leveraging financing to increase returns. Conversations with fellow investors made Simon realize that the complementary skillsets of tax planning, valuations and property management were simply not readily available to real estate investors. As such, Simon dedicated the next few years to building these skills that would eventually be the cornerstone of My Capital Corner's investment services. Now, Simon is looking to inspire and empower others to realize the endless possibilities that come with investing in real estate in hopes that we can all unlock more free time to pursue our dreams.
Inspired by the freedom and flexibility that real estate investments could offer, Billy decided that the time had come to leave his supply chain career to join an industry that could offer him more flexibility and rapid growth. Having seen hundreds of investment properties through his experience as an active real estate investor, Billy realized that Real Estate could and would unlock long-lasting flexibility and freedom. As an investment consultant, Billy is looking to assist investors to capture value through sourcing great investment deals and leading lease due diligence and negotiations for our clients.

Watch: Gaylord Nelson's 1968 reelection ad touting St. Croix River protection
Political commercial highlighted how Nelson got Wisconsin rivers protected in Wild & Scenic Rivers Act.
By Greg Seitz | May 14, 2020 | 2 minute read
American voters put a high priority on protecting our environment in the late 1960s and 1970s. It was an important and popular issue, and in 1968, the year the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers were included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, it showed up in the above campaign ad for Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin.
Having grown up 10 miles east of the St. Croix, and spending his childhood exploring the Namekagon, Wolf and other wild Wisconsin rivers, he had long made conservation a priority. He was called the "Conservation Governor" in the early 1960s, and had been a driving force behind passage of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
The commercial features scenes of Nelson canoeing down rocky rivers, but it's not stated if it's the St. Croix, Namekagon, Wolf, or some other water.

President Lyndon Johnson signed the Act on October 2, just a month before Election Day. Because the commercial refers to Johnson signing it, the ad must have aired late in the campaign season.
Nelson was running for his second six-year term in the Senate, and clearly saw conservation and outdoor recreation as a winning issue. Below is a transcription of the narration:
Thanks to Senator Nelson, the beautiful St. Croix River in northwestern Wisconsin with towering bluffs and clear cool water is going to be saved from the pollution and commercialization which have spoiled most of America's great rivers.
The wild and rushing Wolf River in northeastern Wisconsin is also going to be saved, thanks to Senator Nelson.
Senator Nelson got the Congress to include more than 200 miles of these priceless Wisconsin rivers in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act just signed by the president.
Wisconsin is the only state east of the Mississippi included in the bill. We got three of the nine rivers in the bill and $12 million of the $17 million in authorized funds.
This is the largest national conservation progress in the history of our state. It was conceived and accomplished by our great senator, Gaylord Nelson.
Something worked, because Nelson won reelection that fall by 14 percentage points against his Republican opponent, Jerris Leonard of Wisconsin. Two years later, he founded Earth Day, and continued serving in the Senate until he was narrowly defeated in 1980.
The ad was published on YouTube by The Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center at the University of Oklahoma as part of a large collection of historical Congressional campaign commercials.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (FOX 9) - Every winter it gets cold--it's the Bold North after all. But, when was the last time we had temperatures dip this low into the 30 degrees below zero territory? Answer: over 20 years ago-- in February 1996.
On Feb. 2, 1996, Minnesota recorded its coldest temperature ever, 60 degrees below zero, in Tower. During that "cold wave," Minneapolis reached a low of 32 degrees below zero and wind chills as low as 47 degrees below on Feb. 2, 1996, but it not break the record low of 34 elow recorded on Jan. 22, 1936 and Jan. 19, 1970.
Although we may not drop into the negative 30s (forecasted low for Wednesday morning is 28 degrees below zero), the wind chills will certainly be competing with the 1996 wind chills near 50 degrees below.
Wind chills will be creating dangerous and life-threatening conditions with frostbite occurring in less than five minutes to exposed skin. We are not expected to be above zero degrees until late Friday morning.


Of the six biggest cities in Canada, Calgary has the most productive workforce with the highest personal income and the greatest purchasing power. The city offers a lower cost of living (compared to those of Toronto and Vancouver), the second lowest unemployment rate (2012) and the second highest total retail sales growth over the past 10 years.
In today's dramatic global economic landscape, Calgary offers investors and businesses one of the strongest performing urban economies. The economy of this Canadian powerhouse has grown faster than any other major city in Canada, with the highest average annual GDP growth and second highest total GDP growth in the past decade.
Calgary Economic Development does not expect these positive trends and strong economic growth to slow down any time soon. Calgary Economic Development continues to work with businesses, government and community partners to attract more business investment, foster trade and entice a skilled workforce — simply position Calgary as the location of choice for people and business, and invite them to become part of the energy.
The Canadian Business Journal sat down with Bruce Graham, President and CEO, discussing Calgary Economic Development's mandate and its current efforts to position Calgary in front of businesses in Canada and worldwide as the place to invest, and in front of a suitable workforce as a place to work, live and thrive.
"Over the past 10 years, Calgary Economic Development has been working to position Calgary as a business centre for Western Canada and more recently, globally. Calgary is Canada's energy headquarter city and a growing global business centre. We had 55 per cent growth in business head offices moving to Calgary. Out of the FP500, 136 companies are headquartered in Calgary, with 75 per cent of these with interests in energy.
"Calgary truly emerged as an international business centre — a growing global financial centre, headquarters centre, and engineering and procurement centre for energy and resources in Canada. There has been tremendous interest from the Asia Pacific region. We noted more than $50 billion in investments in local companies over the past three years alone. Virtually all that money comes [to Alberta] through Calgary, and gets invested in local companies that deploy these investments in the energy sector — pipelines, shale gas plants, oil sands development, etc.," says Graham.
"As an economic development corporation, I think it's important to mention that we are funded in a unique way. Outside our base grant from the City of Calgary, nearly 40 per cent of our programming revenue comes from the corporate community. We have 66 partners that support Calgary Economic Development. We started our Action Calgary corporate partnership program two years ago and it turned Calgary Economic Development into a multi-stakeholder organization. This effectively influences our programming, our focus and our development," says Graham.
LiveinCalgary.com, an one-stop resource for people considering moving to Calgary, as well as community economic development initiatives such as the Soul of the City speaker series, explore what makes Calgary a great place to live and what makes people attached to their city.
Graham notes that workforce availability is one of the ongoing issues in Calgary and the province, and that the workforce shortage effectively impedes the economic growth. "Business is not going to invest unless the cost of doing business is reasonable," says Graham.
Calgary Economic Development plans to continue and reach out into the Canadian and global communities to support in-migration. The city attracted 30,000 people in 2012, and Calgary Economic Development's goal is to further foster this positive trend. In an ongoing effort to attract labour to the city, Calgary Economic Development worked with the city's other promotional agencies to create a new destination video for the city called Right Here. This video will be used internationally to broaden people's perceptions of Calgary through the Be Part of the Energy campaign, with an ongoing focus to attract skilled labour to Calgary.
But labour shortage is only one of the issues that the city faces. The city's prominence has grown in terms of being a sophisticated global city, and an international financial and business centre. To attract and retain more national and international businesses, Calgary Economic Development also focuses on continuous improvement of the quality of life. "We take great effort to identify the quality of life advantages Calgary offers today," says Graham.
Building off the strength of the energy industry, Calgary offers a whole gamut of diverse industries and Calgary Economic Development continues to focus on overall industry diversification within the city. Due to its strategic location, the city is a growing transportation and logistics hub for retail businesses in Western Canada. Calgary and Alberta's creative industries are well positioned to be world-class and Calgary becoming an increasingly prominent filming destination with more and more Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy nominations that any other jurisdiction in Canada.
and sound stage. As a city we have a diverse business landscape that goes beyond the energy sector," says Graham.
Calgary Economic Development continues to organize trade missions across Canada and worldwide. In April, Calgary Economic Development followed the Canadian federal mission to China. "We see a great business and investment potential coming to Calgary and Western Canada from China. We are planning an international conference on social enterprises in the fall. We embarked on community commerce roundtables which helps companies identify socially and environmentally sustainable suppliers for products and services, and also built community capital networks as a way of finding investment opportunities in the green business space that grows in popularity as an investment. I think this whole area of exploration is very unique to Calgary Economic Development," says Graham.
With the global interest in Canadian energy, Calgary became the centre of the lens in many an eye nationally and internationally. Calgary Economic Development represents the business catalyst, the positive change, the conduit, the connector and the tap that pours fuel into the fire of Calgary's economic vitality and business growth.

Marketing Performance Measures Building a Basic Marketing Dashboard
Tableau Software Tableau
by David M. Raab
September, cialis 2007
It's a rare genius who can stare at rows and columns of numbers and see the underlying patterns. Most people do better with visual presentations—that is, order graphs—that illustrate the patterns directly. But creating effective data visualizations is difficult. In fact, ampoule a small army of visualization gurus spend their time telling the rest of us how we could do it better. Although this can sometimes be annoying, they are often right.
Much of the problem lies with users themselves. Few people have been trained visualization techniques. But common tools like Excel add to the difficulty by offering limited capabilities and being hard to use. Nor do they provide much help in choosing the best approach to a particular problem.
Tableau (Tableau Software, 206-633-3400, www.tableausoftware.com) addresses both software and user skills. It provides a rich set of visualization features, makes them easy to use, and offers automated guidance in selecting techniques. The system is intended primarily for data exploration rather than formal presentations, although it can handle both.
Users begin a Tableau session by connecting to a data source. Unlike many analysis tools, which export the data into specialized structures, Tableau leaves the data in the original source system. This eliminates the need to run file extracts or create predefined data structures, which may not include all the needed information. But it also means that performance depends on the source data engine. Technically, Tableau issues queries against the source data and stores the result in memory. It then works with the data in memory as long as it can, only issuing a new query if the user requests new information. This means that redrawing the currently-loaded data is very fast, but adding a new element may take considerable time if the underlying source is large or runs slowly. Users can also save a copy of the loaded data, so they can return to an analysis without requerying the source.
Tableau issues queries that are beyond the capabilities of standard connectors like ODBC, so it must write its own connectors for each data source. Available sources are Microsoft Excel, Access, and Analysis Services; relational databases Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebird; multidimensional DB2 OLAP Server (formerly Hyperion Essbase); and comma-delimited text files. A Netezza connector is under development. Each analysis can work with only one data connection at a time, so it's not possible for the system to combine, say, an Excel spreadsheet with an Oracle table, or even two Excel spreadsheets. It does let users join tables within a single source. These could be database tables or several worksheets (tabs) within an Excel spreadsheet.
Once it connects with a data source, Tableau displays the list of available elements. It automatically classifies numeric elements as measures and everything else as dimensions. Users can reassign elements if they are misclassified. Users can also create calculated elements and define filters to control the data used in an analysis.
Preparing an actual analysis simply requires dragging the elements onto slots, called "shelves", for rows, columns, and measures. Tableau does everything else to build the chart, using its own rules to determine the format. Again, users can override its choices if they wish. Additional shelves let users specify how the measure values will be displayed, with options including text, color, size and shape. Different measures can be shown with different attributes: for example, size might indicate the number of customers in a given category while color indicates their profitability. The system allows any number of row and column dimensions, so the ultimate result of a complex analysis if often a multi-level cross tabulation where each cell contains a multi-element chart.
Personally, I find these charts-within-crosstabs difficult to read, even though they are much loved by visualization experts. (The formal name, coined by visualization super-guru Edward Tufte, is "small multiples".) But Tableau is less intended to produce one all-encompassing image of a data set than to support step-by-step exploration through a sequence of much simpler charts. The developers' stated goal is to create a new graph with one click, which is exactly what happens each time you move a data element or change a display method. This means users can view an image, formulate the next logical question, and then answer that question by making a simple change. Since some paths will lead to dead ends, the system provides unlimited levels of "undo" to back up in their analysis. It also lets them bookmark a particular configuration to use as a later starting point or display in a presentation.
Tableau shares many features with conventional business intelligence systems, such as drill-down via filters, selection by highlighting cells within a chart; calculated measures or dimensions, annotations; cut-and-paste into Excel, and combining multiple charts on a single "dashboard". Even the drag-and-drop method of building multi-dimensional reports is fairly common. What sets Tableau apart is its simple creation of graphical, as opposed to tabular, reports, combined with built-in intelligence to recommend the most effective formats for those reports. These recommendations, available at any point through a "Show Me!" button, were consistently effective—and sometimes quite unexpected. Naturally, they follow the best practices defined by the visualization gurus.
The other attribute that sets Tableau apart from most business intelligence software is its price. Many of the major systems like Cognos and Hyperion are aimed at enterprise deployments and charge accordingly. Without a database of its own, Tableau is a tool for individual users, and it is priced like other personal productivity software: $999 to $1,799 for a single copy (higher prices allow access to relational databases). There are discounts for bulk purchases. The software runs on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
Tableau was based on data visualization research at Stanford University and released the 1.0 version of its product in 2005. It has been licensed to about 10,000 users, including copies sold through an arrangement with Hyperion as "Visual Explorer". The company says most users are general knowledge workers such as marketing managers, while about one-third are data analysis specialists.

Through understanding the psychology behind 'Do you want fries with that?', the psychology of how we choose and the role of the word 'enough', keynote speaker Philip Hesketh offers well-researched techniques that increase average order value and have your clients and customers choosing to buy more than planned.
How to increase the odds of people doing what you want them to do
Everyone knows that the odds of winning the lottery are 14 million to one. Yet we still think it's worth a punt. Statistically, there's more chance of being eaten by a shark.
So why do we buy lottery tickets so avidly when, for the organisers, it's little more than a licence to print money? The answer is because it cleverly exploits a simple weakness in the way the human mind works. Called the 'availability bias', it's the tendency that we have to judge probabilities on the basis of how easily examples come to mind. So it doesn't matter that the odds of winning the lottery are very long – every week we hear about yet another lucky jackpot winner. Hence, we assume that we're much more likely to win than we really are.
When I speak at conferences and ask delegates to guess the percentage of UK households consisting of a husband, wife and two children – a boy and a girl – they always overestimate wildly. This is because they are so used to seeing the 'typical' nuclear family in TV dramas and in advertising they think it's more common than it really is. The actual figure is less than 4%.
So how can you exploit the 'availability bias' to influence the behaviour of others? Well, you can start by reminding them how common it is to benefit from what you want them to do. For example: 'Join the thousands whose eyesight has already been restored with laser eye surgery' might be your slogan if you're a laser eye surgeon. If you're a tree surgeon this doesn't work at all.
Of course, there's always the exception to the rule. Luxury brands like LVMH, Cartier and Ferrari manage high demand by reducing the number they produce. Most companies would boast of increased productivity to keep pace with demand. But Ferrari's priority is to protect exclusivity and thereby increase the value of its brand.
The good news is that there's still more chance of you owning one than winning the lottery.
Interview with Philip Hesketh
What got you interested in the psychology of persuasion?
I read Dale Carnegie's 'How to win friends..' when I was 15 years old and was hooked. I did a degree in psychology (and was going to become a psychologist but decided to go into business after 12 months on a psychiatric ward) and ever since have been interested in how and why people behave and buy. Working in advertising was perfect for me and now I speak on the psychology of persuasion and influence
What are 3 habits you think are essential for success?
Do what you say you are going to do
Allocate time for things that are important but not urgent
Bite off more than you can chew and then keep chewing
Do you have a favourite experience from your speaking career?
I spoke to over 1,000 people at the Harrogate International Conference centre (my home town) and got a standing ovation after 90 minutes on stage. That is a real high for a speaker but anytime people tell me that what I have taught them has worked and they've closed a deal or made more money (or even got their daughter to play the piano) is very satisfying.
How much does humour factor into your keynotes and other speaking engagements?
Not only is it critical I can't speak without getting people to laugh. I somehow seem to have funny bones.
How do audiences gain from your keynote presentations?
People tell me I inspire them – which is nice. People tell me they enjoyed a Keynote because of how I made them laugh, made them feel and made them think differently. But the big gain is when people improve their relationships with clients, hold a higher fee and convert a doubting prospect.
What would you like to achieve in the next 5 years?
To be regarded as the best speaker on the planet.

Musings on history as viewed by someone with one foot in the past
The Haunting of the Capt. Phillips House in Plymouth
By Patrick Browne
Capt. Thompson Phillips House, Plymouth, built c. 1725
On October 1, 1733, Ann Palmer left the Captain Thompson Phillips House on King Street (now Middle Street) in Plymouth, Massachusetts under distressing circumstances. A spinster, she had rented rooms and resided there for about a year with several other tenants. The others had already moved out, allegedly due to the fact that the house was haunted. She was the last of them to go, leaving empty and forlorn what had been, up until a few years prior, the most elegant house on the street. Later that night, Jane Crandon, who lived just around the corner in plain sight of the Phillips House, spotted a strange light coming from what had been one of Ann Palmer's rooms. Crandon ran to the house to determine herself whether there was anyone inside but soon realized the house was empty and the light was gone.
I have recently read of the story of the Capt. Phillips House—the alleged haunting and the court case revolving around it—in the outstanding paper by Douglas L. Winiarski, "'Pale Blewish Lights' and a Dead Man's Groan: Tales of the Supernatural from Eighteenth-Century Plymouth, Massachusetts" (William and Mary Quarterly, October 1998, 497-530). It is quite a tale and I will offer a brief synopsis here. My information is taken entirely Winiarski's paper. He uncovered an amazing historical episode that is (as far as I know) entirely left out of local history books.
I will focus on the narrative. However I should point out that Winiarski's well-supported thesis is that a broad spectrum of beliefs concerning the supernatural still existed well into the Age of Enlightenment. There was no black and white division, as is often depicted, between "enlightened" individuals and the supposed poor, uneducated country folk on the fringes of society who clung to belief in "wonders." A great number of Plymoutheans of all walks of life seemed fully prepared to believe in the haunting of the Capt. Phillips House. In short, the episode demonstrates that there was no neat transition from a superstitious age to an Enlightened one–it was a long, complex process.
Capt. Thompson Phillips, descended from a Connecticut family, moved to Plymouth from Jamaica in the early 1720s. He married Hannah Cotton in 1725, daughter of Josiah Cotton, a prominent man in Plymouth. Josiah Cotton (1679-1756) was Harvard educated, served a brief time as a minister, then as a schoolteacher, a Justice of the Court of Commons Pleas in Plymouth, a clerk of the same court, and Registrar of Deeds among other civic offices. He also wrote on a variety of subjects including history and theology.
Hannah Cotton Phillips bore one daughter, also named Hannah, and the small family lived in the handsome house that Capt. Phillips built about 1725. The captain, of course, was at sea much of the time, and on December 6, 1729, he was washed off the deck of his ship and drowned. Hannah soon married another mariner and moved to Boston with her daughter and new husband. A year after her second marriage, Hannah Cotton Phillips contracted smallpox and died. Little Hannah Phillips was entrusted to the care of her grandfather in Plymouth, Josiah Cotton. He also took on responsibility for dealing with the house in Plymouth that would, in theory, become Hannah's inheritance.
The house had already been rented to several tenants: John Clark, a joiner, and his family; Samuel Holmes and his family; and the spinster Ann Palmer. Cotton felt that selling the house would be more profitable and tried, but no one would buy. And so he continued to rent.
In April 1733, Cotton informed John Clark that intended to fit another tenant into the house and that Clark would have to give up one of the rooms he rented. The joiner did not take well to this notion. Clark threatened his landlord that he would spread rumors about the house. He said that his wife had heard things that terrified her. He claimed that the house was haunted, "in the worst sense of the word." Some believed it was the ghost of the drowned Capt. Phillips.
Cotton was not deterred and so Clark made good on his threat. He began to tell his friends throughout the town about the alleged haunting. He said he had seen a light "plain as the light of a candle" in one of the garret windows…a space he knew to be unoccupied at the time. Clark alleged that residents of the house had heard "a great noise like the banging of a door to and fro." "There was something extraordinary" about the house, Clark asserted. Inexplicable groans that sounded like someone in a "dying posture." The sound of canes rapping against the walls. Doors, cabinets and drawers would fly open. One night, a neighbor, Mary Little, spied a "pale blewish light" in the garret window and feared it was a fire. She watched it for about a half an hour until it disappeared.
By the summer of 1733, with all these rumors making their way around town, the "grate part of the Town" gathered nightly outside the windows of the Capt. Phillips House hoping to see the lights for themselves. Apparently the ghost of Capt. Phillips did not oblige the crowds. Still, neighbors were terrified of the place.
On July 23, 1733, the Clarks and the Saverys moved out of the house. Clark said that he "could not live no longer in Mr. Phillips house…because of such unusuall noise in the house…he nor no body allse could live in it because it was haunted with evill spirits." The last tenant, Ann Palmer, left on October 1. And then the house sat empty. The tenants defaulted on their rent and Cotton could not manage to convince anyone else to rent it. An advertisement he posted outside the local tavern was torn down.
In February 1734, Josiah Cotton and John Cushing, Jr. (the executor of the Phillips estate) brought action against Clark and Savery alleging that they had "done us damage by telling stories there was no just reason for." They wanted £200 for their losses. It was during this sensational trial that the above quotes came out describing what had been going on in the house–testimony from residents and neighbors alike.
Simultaneous with the court case, Cotton set about publishing material on the irrationality of popular lore. His infuriating situation helped launch him on a personal crusade to stamp out belief in the supernatural. One of the problems he pointed to was the quantity of popular literature with stories of witches and ghosts, "greedily sought after." "What miserable creatures," Cotton recorded, "are men left to their own delusion." As Winiarski wrote, "What began as a slander suit focusing on the intentions of the defendants thus quickly devolved into a trial over the reasonableness of wonder lore itself."
The trial began on March 5, 1734. After much testimony and excitement, the defendants were acquitted. Cotton and Cushing appealed. During the appeal, the defense attorney, John Otis, argued that conspiracy among so many individuals was impossible. The Superior Court agreed and upheld the decision. With this, Cotton and Cushing relented.
Unable to sell or rent the Capt. Phillips House, Cotton decided to move into it with his family on March 29, 1734. The Cottons never saw or heard any ghosts. It took some time, but the excitement and rumors eventually dissipated. In November 1739, Cotton managed to rent the house and he moved back to his North Plymouth farm. It must have been quite an ordeal for him, first and most significantly losing his daughter, and then having to deal with financial and legal strife.
The whole episode, from my perspective, has echoes of the Salem Witch Trials. Individuals motivated by financial and/or political issues alleging supernatural phenomena in order to win the upper hand. But you can read about that in an older entry.
As mentioned above, this fascinating tale was all but lost to history before Winiarski shed light on it. There is very little local folklore or oral tradition persisting about the house–none that I've ever heard, anyway.
A number of years ago, I lived behind the Capt. Phillips House on the next street over. Never once saw a pale "blewish" light though.

The Prophet's Heir
Homeuser2021-09-22T14:35:08+00:00
The Life of Ali ibn Abi Talib
Yale University Press says:
Hassan Abbas provides a nuanced and compelling portrait of this towering personality. Abbas reveals how, after Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), Ali assumed the spiritual mantle of Islam to spearhead the movement that the prophet had led. While Ali's teachings about wisdom, justice and selflessness continue to be cherished by both Shia and Sunni Muslims, his pluralist ideas have been buried under sectarian agendas and power politics.
Today, Abbas argues, Ali's message and legacy remains a powerful one of peace and tolerance.
Ali was a hugely gifted thinker and speaker, one of the earliest scribes and something of a poet. But it is hard to be objective about him. The evidence is often contradictory and he is shrouded by accretions, pious and otherwise. In The Prophet's Heir, Hassan Abbas – an enthusiast for his subject, and an objective enthusiast – pursues Ali on the ground. Fantastic.

He held various fellowships including at Harvard Law School's Islamic Legal Studies Program & Program on Negotiation (2002-04); the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard's Kennedy School of Government (2005-09); Asia Society in New York as Bernard Schwartz fellow (2009-2011); and as a Carnegie fellow at the New America Foundation (2016-2018).
An erudite and accessible biography of Ali, one that tells his life story, and discusses his teachings and values, and how his legacy continues to loom large over Muslim world.
VALI NASR, author of The Shia Revival
This erudite but readable book shows why the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law Ali is central to Islam today, and should be both an inspiration and a figure for reconciliation.

Two weeks ago, my brother Philip married his fiancée Sarah at the Old Mill in Toronto. It was a beautiful ceremony and they make a wonderful couple. I couldn't ask for better for my brother and know that they will be happy together. Welcome to the family Sarah, not that you haven't already been a part of it for some time.
I have uploaded the photos that I took from the wedding to an album in the gallery. Hopefully I will find some time to caption them soon, but there are many great shots of the wedding and the family, so check them out.

The Gribeauval Cannon was introduced through royal order on 15 October 1765. Although much of the work is not directly attributable to Gribeauval (see Honoré Blanc), the systems of organization and uniformity in ordnance have been called le système Gribeauval. The Gribeauval Cannon (French: système Gribeauval) was an artillery system introduced by Lieutenant General Jean Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval during the 18th century. This system revolutionized French cannon, with a new production system that allowed lighter, more uniform guns without sacrificing range. The Gribeauval system superseded the de Vallière system. These guns contributed to French military victories during the Napoleonic Wars; the Gribeauval system was "arguably the best artillery system in Europe at that time".[ Gribeauval's primary improvement came in the production of large artillery pieces. Prior to his improvements, guns were cast in a single piece by pouring molten iron or bronze around a clay cylinder. After the metal cooled, the clay was removed, leaving the gun's bore. However, this made guns with imperfect cores, which prevented the use of tight-fitting cannon balls; because rounds did not fit tightly, much of the explosive power of the gunpowder was lost. Gribeauval created a new system of production, initially developed by Jean Maritz, casting guns as a single, solid block, and then drilling the bore on a large machine: the entire barrel of the gun rotated against a massive drill bit, and the cutting head was advanced by means of weights and cogs. The resulting guns had tighter manufacturing tolerance between the bore and ball and allowed thinner barrels to be made without sacrificing range. Because the projectile fit the gun much more tightly, the barrel could be shorter without reducing accuracy; the shorter, thinner, barrel reduced weight. Gribeauval also designed improved carriages which allowed highly mobile field pieces.
