GAA: St Patrick's Academy ready for MacRory Cup battle
The young sporting students of St Patrick's Academy, Dungannon have date with destiny tomorrow, as they take on St Patrick's College, Cavan in the show-piece event of Ulster Colleges football, the MacRory Cup final.
By Michael Devlin
Monday, 16th March 2015, 9:05 am
Sean Cavanagh and Colm Cavanagh of Cavanagh Kelly, team sponsor to St. Patricks Academy, Dungannon called in to present the team with Murphys Gloves ahead of Tuesday's MacRory Cup final against St. Patricks Cavan.
The Academy captain, Fintan McClure, has led the Academy attack from full forward all year. Currently in his final year, the Clonoe teenager insists the bond as friends and classmates is a motivating force to win.
"To play with your club with the boys that live round you is great, but you've been going to school every day with these boys for six or seven years," he told the Times.
"You get to know each other and, especially with a team like we have this year, you don't want it to end. When every game could be your last game, you want to go right to the end and win every game for each other."
McClure points to the success of the junior year as augmenting the team.
"The majority of the team is lower sixth. The starting team is made up of nine year 13s and six year 14s," he said.
"It's good to have that though because that year group came up through the school winning cups. They have experience of knowing how to win those finals, and they've given the older lads a good boost."
Half back Liam Rafferty is one of Galbally Pearses' players on the panel. A Tyrone minor this year, both he and fellow wing back Michael McKernan's roving runs forward have been a key feature of the Academy's play. Rafferty says he and his team-mates have been careful not to get caught up in the hype of the game.
"There's been a good excitement in the school. Some people think we're going to win easy, but I don't know about that. The school is very confident in us. The teachers favour us a wee bit sometimes, depending on who you have."
At six foot six, towering midfielder Brian Kennedy is one of many physically imposing players on what is one of the biggest Academy panels in memory. The Derrylaughan man is also adamant about staying focused on the task at hand, despite the grand scale of the game.
"We're trying not to think about that too much, but you'll soon know about it when you run out on the field," he said.
"The managers have't been building it up too much. They've been telling us to keep doing what we've been doing, and to play the game not the occasion"
The Academy management team of Peter Herron and Ciaran Gourley have had considerable MacRory success in the past decade. Both men were at the helm when the school won back to back titles in 2008 and 2009, a feat not achieved since St. Patrick's College Maghera in 1996 and 1997.
Herron has of course been at the helm of each winning team since the school's first title in 1991.
"Mr Gourley is maybe more quiet and he's more tactical, while Mr Herron is sort of old-fashioned, and he really motivates you," said Liam Rafferty.
Cormac O'Hagan, the young Coalisland sharpshooter, admits to feeling some pressure. Son of Fianna great Damian, his elder brother Tiarnan was part of the school's Hogan Cup success in 2008, and Jarlath picked up a MacRory medal in 2009.
"There's a lot of added pressure on me anyway, especially from them," Cormac said. "First of all when I was fourth year playing Brock Cup, both my brothers Tiarnan and Jarlath had won that before, so people were telling me about that at the time. I haven't really got away from it and now, it's all about MacRory," he joked.
He will be hoping he can make it a hat trick of MacRory Cup medals in the O'Hagan household on St Patrick's Day.

Only Steps Forward: Transition at Norway Savings Bank arena bodes well for Auburn
February 20, 2017 | Author GW Editorial Staff
By Jonathan P. LaBonte
Mayor of Auburn
As we hit a high point in the hockey season here in Auburn, and with the Lion's Tournament, America's longest-running youth hockey tournament, kicking off this weekend, an update on the status of the city's Norway Savings Bank Arena (NSBA) is warranted.
For anyone who follows city developments, or local hockey, you've likely heard that the general manager of NSBA has given his notice and will be moving on.
Marc Gosselin, who has served as GM of the arena and executive director of sports tourism for a little less than two years, announced last week he had accepted a front office position with the NHL franchise in Columbus, Ohio.
While it is always difficult to manage transitions of leadership at a city asset as important as the arena, this new career opportunity for Marc is not only a dream come true for him (how many L-A kids growing up around hockey always wanted to get to the NHL), but also a reminder of how much Marc brought to the operation of the arena.
Those spending the most time and treasure in and around the arena know the difference Marc made to the environment there, compared to what he inherited from previous management of the facility. His support team is first class and have brought nothing but positive comments about everything from the quality of the ice surface for players to the improved customer service for fans attending games there.
And most importantly for the taxpayers who hold much of the financial risk in operating an arena like this, Marc's relationship building and customer focus helped to restore the confidence of our many sponsors and brought new partners to the table.
Marc brought a unique background to his role not only at NSBA, but also as the city's first director of sports tourism. Having worked with professional sports teams like the Lewiston MAINEiacs and Maine Red Claws, Marc understood the culture you need to build within the staff team and with your community and corporate partners to make the whole thing work.
Partnering with developer George Schott to build the arena wasn't just about meeting an ice-time need for Maine's largest youth hockey program or for five high school programs, it was about building an asset that could attract people and events to Auburn and the spending in restaurant, hotels and other area businesses that come with it.
The fact that we are now about to host our first trade show, Maine's largest camping and RV show, and have hosted multiple NCAA Division 1 UMaine women's hockey games, attracting three to four times their average home attendance in Orono, is a demonstration that we are diversifying revenues to operate the arena while continuing to grow the level of visitor spending in our community.
The Auburn City Council and the public have gained a renewed confidence in the arena, thanks to Marc's leadership and the work of the rest of the team their under his direction. The fact that our small-town arena had a GM who used that experience to launch a career opportunity into the NHL also bodes well for what comes next for the arena and the potential of sports tourism here.
I hope all of you will join me in thanking Marc for his tireless effort and commitment to improving the bottom line at the Norway Savings Bank Arena, as well as raising its profile as a hockey and event venue in the State of Maine. And I hope you join me in a vote of confidence for the team remaining at the arena, letting them know they have the community's support as we work through this transition period.

Welcome to the Ferndale School District Board Member's webpage. Here you will find useful information about the governance of the school district. Ferndale School Board is legally responsible to the state for the governance of the school district. The board conducts business of the school district at its regular and special meetings.
Access to school board meeting agendas and materials is available at this link BoardDocs
Responsibilities of the School Board
Advocating on behalf of students and schools, representing the community, developing and adopting district policy, monitoring operations, hiring and evaluating the superintendent of schools, resolving disputes, establishing current and long-range educational plans and programs for the district, approving and adopting an annual budget that serves as a financial basis for the district, setting general goals and adopting policies upon which instructional programs will be based, all of which must be in accordance with state law and regulations promulgated by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education, determining school housing needs, purchases, disposes of or leases of school sites, and approves building plans that will support and enhance educational programs, determining assignment of staff and allocation of staff time, evaluating teaching materials, and maintaining ongoing personal communication with school staff, students and members of the community.
Organization of the School Board
The board consists of five citizens of the school district, representing five director districts, each of whom is elected for a four-year term. However, they are elected by and represent all citizens of the school district. Members, by choice, serve without pay. A president and vice-president are elected annually, and the legislative representative is elected every two years.
In addition, two high school students serve on the board. The role of the student school board members is to provide a student perspective into the decision-making process at the board level. They sit at the board table at all board meetings, participate in discussions with other school board members, and exercise non-binding (advisory) votes on matters brought before the board in open session. They do not participate in executive sessions nor raise concerns about confidential matters relating to students or school personnel in open session.
Monthly business meetings of the board are held the last Tuesday of the month in the library of Vista Middle School located 6051 Vista Drive, at 7:00 p.m. Meeting agendas are available at BoardDocs.com, or by request from the superintendent's office by calling (360) 383-9207 or visiting us at 6041Vista Drive. Informal and special meetings, as well as study sessions, are held throughout the year as needed. Public notice is given through the district's website and the news media.
All regular, informal and special meetings are open to the public. The board may choose to meet in executive session (closed) to discuss such matters such as personnel, sale or acquisition of property, labor and contract negotiations, confidential records, evaluation of a candidate for appointment to the board of directors and discussion of possible district litigation. All formal actions on these matters, however, are taken in public sessions.
We Invite Your Participation
Decisions made by your school board greatly influence the quality of the educational program for students. As an elected body, we can best represent you when you make your interests and opinions known. We encourage you to become involved in school activities at the building level and to attend board meetings.
Visitors are welcome at board meetings. At regular meetings of the board, we provide an opportunity for the public to make comment. If you know in advance that you would like to address the board at a meeting, please make arrangements by calling the superintendent's office at (360) 383-9207.
In the interest of personal privacy and fairness, no one may comment on individual employees of the school district. An executive session may be granted for discussion of such matters. Those with questions or comments concerning instructional practices or instructional materials should write to the superintendent.

Mind Control Double Feature #91: Killer Plants!
April 17, 2014 · by Supreme Being	· in Mind Control Double Features.	·
They're everywhere. Waiting. Watching. Rustling in the breeze. Flowering, some of them, the dirty bastards. Plants. Shrubs, trees, perennials, grass. Everywhere you look. Biding their sweet time. Shrug off the threat at your own peril. Laugh if you must. But don't come crying to me when that fern pulls a knife.
Aw, a cute litte mousebed—ahhh! The pain! It's eating me!!
If movies have taught us anything, it's that we'd be fools to fear nothing but humans. What about sharks? Birds? Dogs? Rabbits? Leeches? Bees? Spiders? Crickets? Frogs? Robots? Monsters? Each and every one is liable to bite our heads off given the slightest provocation.
It should hardly come as a surprise that plantlife is just as deadly. You saw Poltergeist, didn't you? The scene where the tree eats the kid is based on fact, on a rare Brazilian palm known for trapping the unwary and swallowing them over the course of a week.
Plants have learned to hate humans. We hack them to pieces, pluck them, mow them down with impunity. How many have you killed? Brought into your home as pets—then forgot to water? Watched them die, and replaced them with a cactus?
In this week's Mind Control Double Feature we look deep into the green, leafy fate that awaits us all.
One of low-budget impressario Roger Corman's best and weirdest movies, about a carnivorous talking plant, Audrey Jr., named by Seymour Krelboyne, feckless flower shop employee, in honor of his secret crush, co-employee Audrey Fulquard. They work for Gravis Mushnick, a rotten boss if ever there was one, in his skid-row shop, where the only customers are weirdos like Burson Fouch (the great Dick Miller), who eats everything he buys.
Seymour's on his way out, fired for being no good, which everyone everywhere assures him he is, when he suggests bringing in a new crossbred plant he created, one that will attract customers. Mushnick gives him a shot.
The plant's a feeble thing, until Seymour accidently cuts his finger and a drop of blood lands on it.
Mmm, delicious hand…
Turns out the plant feeds on blood. Lots and lots of blood. It's not long before people wind up dead and eaten. Best of all, once Audrey Jr. grows large enough, it starts talking, mostly to the purpose of demanding more food. Audrey Jr. is one lippy plant.
This is by no means a movie so bad it's good. It's a good movie so insane it's great. It's very purposefully absurd in the extreme, full of great one-liners and nutty characters, most famously the pain-loving dental patient, Wilbur Force, played by a very young Jack Nicholson in one of his first film appearances.
Jack shows up and gets weird
And how about those incredible character names? Some other choice examples: Phoebus Farb, Frank Stoolie, Joe Fink, and my favorite, Hortense Fishtwanger. How can you not watch a movie with names like these?
Always the cost-cutter, Corman shot the movie in two days (!) on the not-yet-torn-down sets of a previous movie. It was written by Charles B. Griffith, who for years was Corman's go-to writer. He also supplies the voice of Audrey Jr.
Despite its no-budget nature, despite Corman letting the copyright lapse (because who would ever remember a movie like this?), Little Shop stayed in the public consciousness long enough for it to be resurrected in the early '80s as a Broadway musical, which was itself adapted into a musical movie directed by Yoda—er, Frank Oz. Which was entertaining. But not as entertaining as the much weirder original.
Why, it's just a harmless little plant
The one drawback of The Little Shop of Horrors is that you may come away from it afraid only of Audrey Jr. You'll think it was a one-time thing, a freak occurrence. You'll go back to a life of rose smelling and tree climbing, unaware of the horrors about to engulf you. I hope this next film disabuses you such wanton carelessness.
In which you'll really get hot when you see Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills. Triffids being large, walking plants that take over the world. Is there anything scarier than a seven foot tall walking plant that spits poison? Maybe. But not in this movie, by gosh.
The Day of The Triffids is based on the novel of the same name by John Wyndham, which if you haven't read, it should be next on your list. A science fiction great. The movie, on the other hand, is not exactly a science fiction "great," so to speak, but it is a classic. Of sorts. Okay, I admit it, this is not a piece of genius filmmaking, but it's plenty fun for a trashy '60s sci-fi flick.
The hero is Bill Mason (Howard Keel). He wakes up in a hospital one morning to find most everyone has gone blind. They were up all night watching a meteor shower. Bill was in for an eye injury. With his eyes bandaged, he didn't see the meteors. The only sighted people left are those that also didn't watch the shower. (José Saramago's novel Blindness (and subsequent movie adaptation) steals this concept and does far less with it than Wyndham did. And the zombie movie 28 Days Later and the zombie comic/TV show The Walking Dead borrows the 'hero wakes up in a hospital having missed the disaster' opening).
Triffids on the march
So Bill finds himself in a London full of blind people trying to survive, hard enough without intelligent killer plants finding their only predator—humans—no longer a threat. He hooks up with a girl, Susan, and they flee to France, all the while fighting off less than savory sighted survivors and carnivorous plants.
Meanwhile, in a lighthouse on an island off the coast, another couple, Tom (Kieron Moore) and Karen (Janette Scott), battle triffids while trying to find a clever scientific means of destroying them.
The end of the movie is not at all the ending to the book. It's overly inspired by The War of The Worlds and is mostly a cop-out one comes to expect from dopey sci-fi movies. But no matter! You're still going to have to watch every minute of this terrifying descent into killer-plant madness.
There she is. Are you hot yet?
The Little Shop of Horrors and The Day of The Triffids. Two movies destined to populate your nightmares with deadly killer plants. Or at any rate, with extremely low-budget plant-like special effects. An even scarier prospect.

These two relics are perfectly down my alley on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Loved The Little Shop of Horror. Curiously that alian plant that was once meant to scare the bejesus out of everyone made me wish to have it for a pet, it was just the cutest thing … Day of the Triffids was battling low budget as well I guess, but somehow worked for me. I believe it is that lost naiveté of mankind which becomes very apparent in cinema matters, which I am looking for and that I find in some of these SF B movies. The capacity to imagine things and to want to believe a story and thus making it work even if the effects are not of the quality of nowadays' SFX.

'Tis true. If one's story is compelling, the money spent on effects is beside the point. So often forgotten in modern movies.

Q: How to read whole line input in Java without skipping it (scanner.next()) I am doing a very basic Java program :
import java.util.Scanner;

public class App {

    private static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int nbrFloors = 0;
        int nbrColumns = 0;
        int nbrRows = 0;

        System.out.println("So you have a parking with " + Integer.toString(nbrFloors) + " floors " + Integer.toString(nbrColumns) + " columns and " + Integer.toString(nbrRows) + " rows");
        System.out.print("What's the name of your parking ? ");
        String parkName = sc.next(); //or sc.nextLine() ?
        System.out.print("How much should an hour of parking ? If you want your parking to be free please type in '0' : ");
        float intPrice = Float.parseFloat(sc.next());
        Parking parking = new Parking(nbrFloors, nbrColumns, nbrRows, parkName, intPrice);

    }
}

As you can see on line 16 I use the Scanner.next() method because using Scanner.nextLine() skips user input. However I learned in this thread Java Scanner why is nextLine() in my code being skipped? that when you use the Scanner.next() method it skips whatever is after the first word you entered.
So I wonder how you can ask for a user input, while both not skipping it (because Scanner.nextLine() does that) and reading the whole input ?

A: Your code skips user input because nextLine() method reads a line up-to the newLine character (carriage return). So after nextLine() finishes the reading the carriage return actually stays in the input buffer. That's why when you call sc.next(), it immediately reads the carriage return from the input buffer and terminates the reading operation. What you need to do is implicitly clear the input buffer after a read-line operation. To do that, simply call sc.next() one time after line 16.
    System.out.print("What's the name of your parking ? ");
    String parkName = sc.nextLine();
    sc.next();
    System.out.print("How much should an hour of parking ? If you want your parking to be free please type in '0' : ");

For master modeler Jack Burgess, Yosemite Valley Railway was a nearly three-decade-long exploration into California's diverse terrain via scale model tracks. This spectacular layout is a prime example of multi-level construction gone terrifically right. Come along as Allen Keller explores behind the scenes of Jack's dynamic landscapes and towns of 1939 California.
In this tour of standard operations on the YV, we follow local Engine 25 as it makes its way westward from station at El Portal — the gateway of Yosemite National Park — to the staging yard at Merced. You'll get to see a standard day in the life of California's miners, harvesters and farmers when Engine 25 stops off to make its pickups, drops and transfers. Don't miss this remarkable layout from one of the finest modelers in the hobby!

Q: Saving ActiveRecord's associations which are pointing to each other, at once I have the following models
class Cargo < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :destinations
  has_many :assignments
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :destinations
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :assignments
end

class Destination < ApplicationRecord
  has_one :assignment_coming_to_me, class_name: 'Assignment', foreign_key: 'arrive_destination_id'
  has_one :assignment_leaving_me, class_name: 'Assignment', foreign_key: 'start_destination_id'
end

class Assignment < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :start_from, class_name: 'Destination', foreign_key: 'start_destination_id'
  belongs_to :arrive_at, class_name: 'Destination', foreign_key: 'arrive_destination_id'
end

Giving a visual image, it's something like this
                +-------------+
            +---| Destination |
            |   +-------------+---+ <= start_from
            |                     |   +------------+
            |                     +---| Assignment |
            |                     |   +------------+
+-------+   |   +-------------+---+ <= arrive_at
| Cargo | --+---| Destination |
+-------+   |   +-------------+---+ <= start_from
            |                     |   +------------+
            |                     +---| Assignment |
            |                     |   +------------+
            |   +-------------+---+ <= arrive_at
            +---| Destination |
            |   +-------------+---+
            |                     |
            .                     .
            .                     .

Now, is there a way to create the whole records at once, given the the parameters like this? (Suppose the destinations and assignments are associated to each other just as the order of the parameter array)
{
  cargo: [
    destinations_attributes: [{place_id: ..}, {place_id: ...}, ...],
    assignments_attributes: [{assignee_id: ..}, {assignee_id: ...}, ...],
  ]
}

I know saving Destinations first then iterating through them to set Assignment's destination_id can do the job, but wondering if there's a smarter way.

A: Well, not knowing the details of your problem I will answer what I think it would be a "smater" way to solve.
Use a has_many through association  where you would have:
Cargo has many Destinations through Assignments.
Destinations has many Cargo through Assignments.
Assignments holds both Cargo and Destinations foreign key.
If you need information about the order of destinations, you could just query the records based on the Assignment's create timestamp.
Here has a example-of-has-many-through-using-nested-attributes. I believe that way you can have rails saving all the records "automagicly". Furthermore, you can have the queries offered by the association to handle all the three table's records!
Let me know what you think!
Good luck!
Link to guide rails has_many_through assoaciton

A: Hierarchical structure is too rich for architectural purposes:
I could reproduce all your workflow with it:
In the end of the code I left comments
You can run the code in terminal just copy it to test.rb file and run ruby test.rb in terminal
And just before, create db in postgresql (or mysql)
require "active_record"

class Cargo < ActiveRecord::Base
  establish_connection adapter: 'postgresql', database: 'test_destination'

  connection.create_table table_name, force: true do |t|

How Carbon-14 Dating Works
How do geologists use carbon dating to find the age of rocks?
Radiometric dating
Radiometric Dating is Flawed!! Really?? How Old IS the Earth?
Carbon dating , also called radiocarbon dating , method of age determination that depends upon the decay to nitrogen of radiocarbon carbon Radiocarbon present in molecules of atmospheric carbon dioxide enters the biological carbon cycle : it is absorbed from the air by green plants and then passed on to animals through the food chain. Radiocarbon decays slowly in a living organism, and the amount lost is continually replenished as long as the organism takes in air or food. Once the organism dies, however, it ceases to absorb carbon, so that the amount of the radiocarbon in its tissues steadily decreases. Because carbon decays at this constant rate, an estimate of the date at which an organism died can be made by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon. The carbon method was developed by the American physicist Willard F. Libby about
Since the early twentieth century scientists have found ways to accurately measure geological time. The discovery of radioactivity in uranium by the French physicist, Henri Becquerel , in paved the way of measuring absolute time. Shortly after Becquerel's find, Marie Curie , a French chemist, isolated another highly radioactive element, radium. The realisation that radioactive materials emit rays indicated a constant change of those materials from one element to another.
The New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford , suggested in that the exact age of a rock could be measured by means of radioactivity. For the first time he was able to exactly measure the age of a uranium mineral.
When it comes to dating archaeological samples, several timescale problems arise. Historical documents and calendars can be used to find such absolute dates; Radiocarbon is produced in the upper atmosphere after Nitrogen isotopes of which are years old, making them the oldest living things on earth.
Discovering Lucy — Revisited Image 4 Combined stratigraphic dating process, in layers four layers, top to bottom : top layer is silt and mud deposits; next, volcanic ash layer–dated by argon content; next, fossil layer–dated by measurement of thickness of accumulated sediments between volcanic ash layers; last, volcanic ash layers–all dated by argon content. Back to Image 1. They usually mention a margin for error that is only plus or minus 20, years. That's pretty close when the time being measured involves millions of years.
Indeed, in geological time, this date is very precise. The confidence stems from the accuracy of special techniques scientists use to apply dates and ages to fossils. Few methods actually date the fossil itself. Most rely on obtaining accurate dates from the surrounding layers of volcanic ash that exist above and below a fossil.
Geochronology is the science of determining the age of rocks. In the interdisciplinary teamwork of paleoanthropology, it is the geologist who collects volcanic ash and rock samples, returns to the laboratory, and works out a date for the sites where fossils were uncovered. Without this information, paleoanthropologists cannot construct a reliable chronology of how humans evolved.
Radiocarbon dating: radioactive carbon decays to nitrogen with a half-life of years. In dead material, the decayed 14C is not replaced and its concentration in the object decreases slowly. To obtain a truly absolute chronology, corrections must be made, provided by measurements on samples of know age. The most suitable types of sample for radiocarbon dating are charcoal and well-preserved wood, although leather, cloth, paper, peat, shell and bone can also be used.
Because of the somewhat short half-life of 14C, radiocarbon dating is not applicable to samples with ages greater than about 50, years, because the remaining concentration would be too small for accurate measurement.
has been used to date the substrate of a range of significant items, however it should The Earth's atmosphere contains various isotopes of carbon, roughly in.
It is an accurate way to date specific geologic events. This is an enormous branch of geochemistry called Geochronology. There are many radiometric clocks and when applied to appropriate materials, the dating can be very accurate. As one example, the first minerals to crystallize condense from the hot cloud of gasses that surrounded the Sun as it first became a star have been dated to plus or minus 2 million years!! That is pretty accurate!!!
Other events on earth can be dated equally well given the right minerals. For example, a problem I have worked on involving the eruption of a volcano at what is now Naples, Italy, occurred years ago with a plus or minus of years. Yes, radiometric dating is a very accurate way to date the Earth. We know it is accurate because radiometric dating is based on the radioactive decay of unstable isotopes.
For example, the element Uranium exists as one of several isotopes, some of which are unstable. When an unstable Uranium U isotope decays, it turns into an isotope of the element Lead Pb. We call the original, unstable isotope Uranium the "parent", and the product of decay Lead the "daughter".
All rights reserved. Professor Willard Libby, a chemist at the University of Chicago, first proposed the idea of radiocarbon dating in Three years later, Libby proved his hypothesis correct when he accurately dated a series of objects with already-known ages.
Carbon dating only works for objects that are younger than abo Carbon dating is used by archeologists to date trees, plants, and animal is only accurate for items that are thousands to tens of thousands of years old. Geologists measure the abundance of these radioisotopes instead to date rocks.
A child mummy is found high in the Andes and the archaeologist says the child lived more than 2, years ago. How do scientists know how old an object or human remains are? What methods do they use and how do these methods work? In this article, we will examine the methods by which scientists use radioactivity to determine the age of objects, most notably carbon dating. Carbon dating is a way of determining the age of certain archeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50, years old.
It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by human activities.
How do scientists find the age of planets date samples or planetary time relative age and absolute age? If carbon is so short-lived in comparison to potassium or uranium, why is it that in terms of the media, we mostly about carbon and rarely the others? Are carbon isotopes used for age measurement of meteorite samples? We hear a lot of time estimates, X hundred millions, X million years, etc. In nature, all elements have atoms with varying numbers of neutrons in their nucleus.
If you want to know exactly how old a person is, you can ask the person. But how can you find out the age of a rock? Finding the age of an object by determining the number of years the object has unstable atoms are used in one method of absolute dating. rate of radioactive decay for a given isotope can be determined.
British Broadcasting Corporation Home. Radio carbon dating determines the age of ancient objects by means of measuring the amount of carbon there is left in an object. In , he won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This is now the most widely used method of age estimation in the field of archaeology. Certain chemical elements have more than one type of atom.
Different atoms of the same element are called isotopes. Carbon has three main isotopes. They are carbon, carbon and carbon Carbon is radioactive and it is this radioactivity which is used to measure age.
This question requires a very extensive answer to be able to cover all bases here but I'm going to attempt to explain the salient facts. Jump down to summary if you just want to know what both categories of limitations are. The limitations of radiometric dating can be split into two general categories, analytical limitations and natural limitations. Analytical limitations encompass the limitations of the machinery that is being used to date a material.
This technique bombards the sample, slowly drawing material out and then sending it through to an ion counter. This is then transformed into isotopic ratios and then used to date the material.
Radiocarbon dating uses a radioactive isotope of the element to determine the ages of old objects – Is the number one destination for online dating with more.
Geologists do not use carbon-based radiometric dating to determine the age of rocks. Carbon dating only works for objects that are younger than about 50, years, and most rocks of interest are older than that. Carbon dating is used by archeologists to date trees, plants, and animal remains; as well as human artifacts made from wood and leather; because these items are generally younger than 50, years.
Carbon is found in different forms in the environment — mainly in the stable form of carbon and the unstable form of carbon Over time, carbon decays radioactively and turns into nitrogen. A living organism takes in both carbon and carbon from the environment in the same relative proportion that they existed naturally. Once the organism dies, it stops replenishing its carbon supply, and the total carbon content in the organism slowly disappears.
Scientists can determine how long ago an organism died by measuring how much carbon is left relative to the carbon Carbon has a half life of years, meaning that years after an organism dies, half of its carbon atoms have decayed to nitrogen atoms. Similarly, years after an organism dies, only one quarter of its original carbon atoms are still around.
Because of the short length of the carbon half-life, carbon dating is only accurate for items that are thousands to tens of thousands of years old. Most rocks of interest are much older than this. Geologists must therefore use elements with longer half-lives. For instance, potassium decaying to argon has a half-life of 1.
After all organic remains to know how radiometric dating is largely done on the earth's upper atmosphere by. We know how radiometric dating satisfies this is expressed as the observational scientists estimate when n is about 60, a wide range of nitrogen. Understand how decay into more stable isotope dating. This has been studied, probing a huge data.
Potassium on material up to know how this is based on rock that radioactive dating method of those two isotopes.
Radiocarbon dating—also known as carbon dating—is a technique used by The technique is based on measuring the ratio of two isotopes of carbon. To correct for this, scientists have compared radiocarbon dates from objects who's.
Radioactive isotopes have a variety of applications. Generally, however, they are useful because either we can detect their radioactivity or we can use the energy they release. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity is easy to detect. A tracer A substance that can be used to follow the pathway of that substance through a structure.
For instance, leaks in underground water pipes can be discovered by running some tritium-containing water through the pipes and then using a Geiger counter to locate any radioactive tritium subsequently present in the ground around the pipes. Recall that tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Tracers can also be used to follow the steps of a complex chemical reaction.
After incorporating radioactive atoms into reactant molecules, scientists can track where the atoms go by following their radioactivity. One excellent example of this is the use of carbon to determine the steps involved in photosynthesis in plants. We know these steps because researchers followed the progress of carbon throughout the process.

HON. ERIN L. WIEDEMANN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, Candace Sue Patterson, brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), seeking judicial review of a decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (Commissioner) denying her claims for a period of disability and disability insurance benefits (DIB) and supplemental security income (SSI) under the provisions of Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act). In this judicial review, the Court must determine whether there is substantial evidence in the administrative record to support the Commissioner's decision. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
Plaintiff protectively filed her current applications for DIB and SSI on December 3, 2014, and May 30, 2014, respectively, alleging an inability to work since April 16, 2014, due to fibromyalgia, lupus, depression, chronic pain, and a steel plate in her neck. (Tr. 72, 88-89). For DIB purposes, Plaintiff maintained insured status through March 31, 2017. (Tr. 30). An administrative hearing was held on August 12, 2015, at which Plaintiff and a vocational expert testified. (Tr. 49-68).
claimant is limited to occasional climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling and no overhead work. In addition, the claimant is capable of work where interpersonal contact is routine but superficial, e.g. a grocery checker, and complexity of tasks is learned by experience, several variables, judgment within limits, and supervision required is little for routine, but detailed for non-routine.
(Tr. 33). With the help of a vocational expert (VE), the ALJ determined that Plaintiff was capable of performing her past relevant work as a data entry clerk and a billing clerk. (Tr. 40).
Plaintiff then requested a review of the hearing decision by the Appeals Council, which denied that request on August 26, 2016. (Tr. 1-7). Subsequently, Plaintiff filed this action. (Doc. 1). This case is before the undersigned pursuant to the consent of the parties. (Doc. 5). Both parties have filed appeal briefs, and the case is now ready for decision. (Docs. 11, 13).

After several requests to throw a housewarming party since I moved in to my apartment 1.5 months ago, I decided to have a party tonight and invited my friends over. It was a BYO drinks and snacks party i.e. you bring your own drinks and some food. I had some finger food and drinks for the guests too - wine, beer, antipesto and bread plate, nuts, even small Santa chocolates (hey, Christmas is coming). Thankfully Helbert was around to help set-up my place moving my furniture and organising the music - my apartment is still quite empty so there'll plenty of dance space!
My friends started streaming in from about 8pm onwards. It helps when throwing a party to invite your surrounding neighbours too so that they wouldn't lodge a complaint because you were making too much noise :) Oh, and did I mention, there were even fireworks display, especially for my party (haha, yeah right, but there really was fireworks).
It was a great night – might have to do another one in the new year! Thanks everyone for coming!
The last lot of friends left around 2am. Cleaning can wait till tomorrow. Need to catch up with some zzzs. Been partying the whole weekend!!


It's ya girl as Jason Todd && my boyfriend as Batman! Don't make it weird, he called me 'son' half the day, it's weird enough. Put this cosplay together SUPER quick (I had gotten the jacket already for this purpose but my mom and I made the shirt + I had to buy a wig) Planning to make actual armor + helmet + the new mask over this summer. End goal? I want all the different variations of Jason's uniform. So far I haven't found any female patterns for Arkham Knight but if making the Red Hood armor goes well I might just wing it.

9. Go for Gold!
Olympic Village 1 (2006)
Digital C-type Prints
Edition of 5, 1 AP
Go for Gold! depicts the transformation of London's landscape in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games. It examines how the 2012 Games contribute to the social and geographical transformation of the Lower Lea Valley landscape; a dynamic that occurs every four years across the world in new Olympic cities.
The first series is from 2006-2007 when I photographed the future sports venues of the 2012 Olympic Games. These images capture the last moments of the Lea Valley landscape before construction for the Olympics' development programme started.
Images from this series are primarily of sublime landscapes and industrial spaces. The only indication of how these places will be transformed comes from the titles, which mark the specific sport venue. This ironic disjuncture between the image and the title causes one to think about the construction and disruption that must occur in order to make the Olympics real.
The second series is from 2008-2011 when I photographed around the blue fence that surrounds the Olympic construction site and the high security fence that replaced the blue fence in 2009. These photos show how the Olympic construction site disrupts the connections between residents and their natural and built environment.
The third series is from 2012-2016 for which I documented the sites during the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as the dismantling of the venues and the transformation into the legacy park.
Go for Gold!'s overarching message is a critique of how the Olympic Games have been transformed from a sporting to an economic event in which urban regeneration plays a major role. According to the promotional material, the Olympics will generate a better environment for local residents through urban regeneration. My work questions this premise/promise and I argue that the Olympics are mainly used to bolster London's status as a global economic centre at the expense of local inhabitants' needs. I encourage people to think about how the Olympics help London compete with other global cities to attract media attention, tourist travel, and foreign investment, all for the benefit of large international corporations and not the local population. This trend is also visible in all the other Olympic host cities.

I have been running from Zombies.
This time last year ( 2013 ) I had bought some running gear, new shoes, suitable trousers and top, something to ensure I could be seen on dark mornings and darker evenings. I had signed up to the #LETJOG14 project with the aim to run Lands End to John O'Groats over the course of one year. We would track our mileage and check in weekly and we would discuss our progress. As always though there was a catch. I was not a runner. Despite a regular fitness regime thanks to my XBox Kinect and my cycling habit I was not out of shape; but I certainly lacked the stamina and cardio experience for running any distance. So it was on January 1st 2014 I stepped out on a cold morning with the voice of Abel Townships main radio operator Sam Yau in my ears and I started to run from Zombies. I started out with the 'Six to Start' Zombies!Run, 5K Training program which took me from no experience through increasingly distant and harder routines until I was left to run a 5k Distance as quick as I could. Back then it was closer to 50 minutes to cover the 5k distance but since then and thanks to Zombies!Run I have been keeping a steady pace and improved my times and my distances taking the 3 Mile ( 5K ) distance down to 27 minutes and finding myself heading out on regular 10k and 12k runs and loving it. Summer rolled into Autumn and Parkrun came to Horsham with a weekly Saturday Morning 5k opportunity which has brought a sense of satisfaction to running in a crowd and finding my stride.
Before long I had signed up to a proper 10k race over at Dunsfold aerodrome and I came home with my first experience of running with a number on my back , not just in my ears. As 2015 rolls around I have to confess that I am looking forward to improving my 5k times and to finding myself involved with at least one , if not two , half Marathons and who knows where that will lead.
One thing is certain though. As I write this entry I find myself twitching to hear the words; Raise the Gates, Covering Fire, RUN!

Ireland & Republicanism
Ireland was Britain's oldest colony. For 400 years, the British capitalists and landlords pillaged Ireland and first perfected their system of divide and rule there, pitting Catholics against Protestants. The nationalist bourgeoisie, weak and dependent on British capitalism, failed to complete the revolutionary task of expelling British imperialism and instead came to a reactionary compromise with the latter, resulting in the partition of the island.
Ever since, the bourgeois and petty-bourgeois nationalists have led the struggle to disaster. This was particularly true after the revolutionary events of 1968-69, when the IRA led the movement into the cul-de-sac of individual terror.
British imperialism had hoped it had solved the problems in Ireland with the sticking plaster of the Good Friday Agreement. The re-emergence of the crisis of capitalism has completely exposed this hope as false to the core. Nothing was solved. Today, the national question is reemerging with renewed force. British imperialism no longer has any interest in maintaining partition, but the sectarian monster that it has created means it cannot rid itself of Northern Ireland either.
The Irish Revolution is full of lessons for Marxists: on the national question, the role of individual terror, reform versus revolution, etc. Above all, it teaches that the task of undoing partition can only be completed by the Irish working class through socialist revolution. In the words of the great Irish Marxist, James Connolly, "The cause of Ireland is the cause of Labour. The cause of Labour is the cause of Ireland."
As Ireland enters a new turbulent period, it is imperative that Marxists – in Ireland and internationally – study its rich revolutionary history so as to learn its lessons and to avoid old pitfalls.
The partition of Ireland at 100: a story of blood-soaked counter-revolution
Ben Curry
One hundred years ago, on 3 May 1921, the partition of Ireland became law in the British parliament. As the Marxist revolutionary, James Connolly, had predicted, partition created "a carnival of reaction both North and South". It took years of terror, pogroms and bloodshed to establish what the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, James Craig, termed a "Protestant state for a Protestant people". In the South, the newly established Free State was baptised in the blood of the Republicans who resisted the Treaty and partition.

James Connolly: July the 12th
James Connolly
The 12 July celebrations, 'The Twelfth', are the height of the marching season in Ireland. It's a day for Protestants and Unionists in Ireland to celebrate the defeat of the Jacobite forces by the Williamites in 1690. The parade was used politically by the Orange Order and reactionary loyalist forces to show their dominance in the North, especially in Belfast, often invoking sectarian riots and violence, which plague the Twelfth. In 1913, James Connolly, Irish revolutionary, explained his thoughts on this day, its real historical basis, and what it means to the people of Ireland.

The Irish establishment "celebrates" the Easter Rising – A shameful charade
Alan Woods
On Sunday an official state ceremony was held in Dublin to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising. The officials present, including the men of the Church, represent a class that did not support the Rising in 1916, but who now wish to present themselves as heirs to that heroic struggle. Here Alan Woods exposes the utter hypocrisy of these people and recalls what the Rising was really about.
Ireland: Easter 1916-2012
Gerry Ruddy
At Easter every year in every parish in Ireland and in many places around the world Irish Republicans gather to pay homage to those men and women who died in the struggle for independence. This year, 2012, will be no different. However, whereas 50 years ago there was only one Republican Movement, today there are at least seven different republican traditions that have emerged out of the northern struggle.
Ireland: The 1907 Dock Strike - 105 years on
Belfast in 1907 was a hotbed of militancy. It was the fastest growing city in the British isles. Its most successful industries were labour intensive.
Ireland and the politics of bigotry
Harry Whittaker
When the Irish Catholic priest Fr. Hugh O'Donnell decided it was time to build a Catholic church in Belfast he had a problem: it costs a lot of money to build a church. The Catholic population of Belfast was too small and too poor to provide enough money, so if he had to rely on the Catholics alone it would take forever. He had to seek help elsewhere. So he asked the Protestants of Belfast to help him out. As you do.

Socialism and the long struggle for Irish freedom
Phil Mitchinson
We are publishing here a speech given by Phil Mitchinson at the 2005 International Marxist school in Barcelona.

The Limerick Soviet of 1919
Ewan Gibbs
Recent weeks have seen Ireland bear witness to two factory occupations that subsequently inspired similar actions across Britain. These events are significant developments in class struggle in that they pose the question of whether power resides with the boss or the workers. It is fitting that these events should coincide with the ninetieth anniversary of the Limerick Soviet.
Ireland: Easter Rising remembered
Despite being regarded as a central point in Irish history and an event that is widely recognised as pivotal to the traditions of republicanism little of the events of 1916 are retained in their popular representation as they have been surrounded by a systematic campaign of distortion almost since they took place.
Ireland: Easter 1916 - Easter 2008
After the Easter 1916 uprising the actual class conditions that motivated the likes of James Connolly and the trade unionists who set up the Irish Citizen's Army to battle capitalism were written out of history. Radical ideas were demonised and Connolly's Marxism was airbrushed from history.

Tony Mowbray on possibility of Blackburn Rovers offering trainee 'keeper a deal
By James Ray on Sep 6, 2019 0 Comments
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has said that the club will "wait and see" if they look to offer free agent 'keeper Ben Garratt a contract with the club.
Having departed League Two side Crewe Alexandra at the end of the summer, goalkeeper Ben Garratt has been on the lookout for a new club since. He spent time training with Bury before their expulsion from the Football League and recently, he has been training with Blackburn Rovers.

As it stands, loanee Christian Walton and Jayson Leutwiler are the only senior 'keepers on the books at Ewood Park, having allowed youngster Andrew Fisher to head out on loan. Now, Mowbray has been discussing the possibility of Garratt being offered a deal with the club, with it being said that it is unlikely that he will be offered a contract.
"It didn't really come through me, I said okay to it because Fisher has gone out on loan and he had been at a club where it hadn't worked out.
"There's no cost for us. We're giving him training time and he's helping us with goalkeeping numbers because you need goalkeepers in training. Whether it be for small-sided games, shooting practice, you need goalkeepers on your training ground. The opportunity came along and I said 'no problem'.
"He wasn't someone I'd identified, but he's a good lad around the building, he's got on well with everyone and Ben [Benson] thinks he's okay. He's not at the forefront of my mind that we're going to offer him a big contract in the next week or two, at this moment he's just training and staying fit and keeping his ear to the ground.
Over the course of his career, Garratt has played 246 senior games, all coming during his time at Crewe Alexandra. He made his debut for the club in 2013 and from their onwards, he went on to keep 54 clean sheets.

Powder coating is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder, electrostatically and then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". Powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, like household appliances, aluminium extrusions, hardware, and automobile, bicycle, boating parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
Powder coating requires a completely clean surface for optimal adhesion. Electro Polish uses several cleaning methods for powder coat prep depending on size, material, cleanliness, etc. Because we do so many metal finishes in house we have cleaning methods for any metal at our disposal. Our main method utilizes a hot power wash with a phosphate coating followed by a quick dry in the oven.
Once part has been prepped and cleaned, it is placed in the powder coating booth and grounded with a clamp. This allows the electrostatically charged powder to adhere to the part when being applied. After the part is fully coated, it is placed in an oven at 350-400 degrees F. After getting up to temperature, the part is left in for the cure time specified by the powder manufacturer.
This simple infographic shows the powder coating process as it happens. Where regular paint will over spray, causing waste and mess, powder wants to attach itself to the grounded part as much as it can. There will still be some waste, naturally, but it can be swept up or even reclaimed for reuse.
The metal part is hung strategically so entire part can be seen, reached, cleaned and coated with minimal bare marks due to hanging/racking. We prefer the customer specify where appropriate to hang from, otherwise we will find the best way. Part will be hung on a mobile rack with wheels, able to carry up to 500 lbs. The rack is wheeled into the power wash/steam clean booth and washed down with degreaser. It is then power washed with hot water. Once part has dried, it's ready for powder!
Rack is wheeled into the powder coating booth. Once grounded, it's ready to shoot. Shooting from the back of the booth, moving in the processor sprays evenly the entire part. Some areas are harder to coat than others, so techniques and different gun settings are used to achieve complete coverage. Once part is totally coated it is ready for baking!
Rack is wheeled from the booth into the oven. Most powder coatings cure at 350-400 degrees F. Once part has baked for required amount of time, rack is wheeled out to cool. Parts are un-racked and packed for shipping or pick up.
Make sure part is as clean as possible. We will clean to the best of our ability, but excess cleaning may result in extra charges. We recommend a sandblast, particularly for steel parts. We do not sandblast, so they must be done elsewhere prior to arrival if needed. For best finish, sandblasting is a good idea but not necessary.
We do require parts to not have any rust on them. Powdercoating over rust will NOT prevent further rust. It will ONLY get worse under the coating, creating separation between the powder coat and the part resulting in flaking. If your parts have rust, we recommend getting them sand blasted prior to bringing them to us.
Powder adhesion is only as good as the surface it is applied to. This is why proper prep is so important. Understand that we cannot guarantee proper powder adhesion if we are going over a pre-existing coating like paint or another powder. We will and have done this, and as long as it's a cosmetic/appearance finish, it's an acceptable procedure.


This hit home tonight. I'm tired. I had three doctors appointments today, with a chiropractor, dentist, and then optometrist. Then I came home and spent about 5 hours on my Hebrew class. Not to mention my little girl was having a rough day and pretty much didn't sleep today, just stirred and wined and couldn't relax. - The Lord gave rest to Israel.
I'm glad I serve a God that's not a God of works but a God of grace who even made provision from the beginning of the world for rest. Then He fulfilled his promises.
I worship a God who has promised an awful lot, and made provision for rest. Someday, I will look back and say, "Blessed be the Lord, who gave me rest, according to all he promised. He fulfilled all he promised to his children."

We refer to otitis externa (swimmer's ear) when we are talking about some sort of infection of inflammation that affects the external portion of your ear canal. It is generally caused by direct contact with bacteria that exists in polluted water or by water-logging within the ears which harbors a moist environment for germs to replicate.
Public swimming pools are notorious for being polluted due to the large number of people that swim in them. Additionally, the chlorine that exists in the water of swimming pools actually kills the beneficial bacteria within your ears which make you more prone to infections resulting from harmful bacteria.
Although swimmer's ear occurs quite often to (as the name suggests) swimmers, it can also happen to anyone that frequently comes in contact with a damp, wet environment (such as getting drenched in the rain). It can even be caused due to water getting inside your ears as a result of shampooing or taking baths or showers.
Swimmer's ear can be rather painful and can cause itching, muffled hearing, as well as watery and yellow discharge from your ears. This condition can be quite uncomfortable but thankfully, it can also be prevented.
You can always take precautions prior to taking a dip in the pool the next time you're on vacation. Make sure you thoroughly dry out your ears after taking a dip by tipping your head to one side and then the other, to let all the trapped water flow out. Even chemicals in hair products can cause swimmer's ear, so make sure you plug your ears with cotton wool before using hair spray of hair gel. Always refrain from scratching your ears.
Always get your ears cleaned by a doctor and never try to clean your ears using q-tips since this can damage your hearing. If you feel your ears are too dry, you can spread a few drops of olive oil near the outer part of your ear to keep them moisturized. Swimmer's ear should always be addressed by a doctor if you experience dizziness, extreme pain, or tinnitus (ringing/buzzing within the ears).

It had rained in the morning, so we decided against a sea cliff - and there was a crag on the nearby mountain with a selection of fun (and easily accessible and escapeable!) things to climb. This was the view - looking out over the ocean.
Jen is still learning to lead on trad (after how many years?!), but Mark had placed the gear on this route, so she lead it whilst placing a few more bits of her own. A little scary, but Jen got to the top in the end.
Jen then dramatically dropped the grade and lead another route ... placing the gear herself (and lots and lots of it - just for practice, of course!). No dramas there - maybe trad leading isn't as scary as she thought?
Evening was approaching, but there was time for one more ... Mark's lead this time. And a great route, too!
Just in time for sunset from the top.

Helfrich urges public to talk residency requirement after fiery meeting
Logan Hullinger
York Dispatch
York City Mayor Michael Helfrich on Monday put out a rallying cry to city residents, urging them to opine about a potential residency requirement waiver for the city fire chief at an upcoming City Council meeting.
The mayor's Monday, Feb. 3, comments during a Facebook video came just a week after all five members of City Council blasted his decision to wait until January to inform them that Chief Chad Deardorff would not move into the city.
"We're telling him he either has to not be our fire chief anymore or has to split up with his family," Helfrich said. "... If you have an opinion in this, I would ask you to come out."

More:York City Council punts on residency requirement change, plans town hall
Although the residency requirement resolution won't be on council's agenda during its Tuesday, Feb. 4, meeting, residents will be able to offer public comment.
At last week's council meeting, all five council members alleged that the mayor's delay in notifying council of the chief's living circumstances was just another example of a lack of transparency in his administration.
The chief informed Helfrich in September of last year that he would not be moving, but the mayor didn't inform council until this past month. Under city policy, all department heads must live in the city.
But Helfrich and Deardorff — who lives in West Manchester Township — have argued forcing the chief to move into the city would uproot his family.
Officials made it clear that the tension had nothing to do with Deardorff personally, who they agreed has been a loyal public servant for the 25 years he has worked in the department.
The measure, which council punted on last month, was kicked down the road again during last week's meeting, as an attempt to move the resolution to Tuesday's legislative agenda failed without garnering a second.
Council has until later this month to make a call on the resolution that would waive Deardorff's residency requirement. After that, the one-year waiver approved by the council last year runs out.
It's unclear whether the waiver expires Feb. 19, a year from when council first approved a waiver for Deardorff, or Feb. 28, when he officially began serving as chief, Helfrich said.
If council lets the resolution die in committee or votes it down in a legislative meeting, Deardroff would have to make a decision about whether to stay with the department and take a demotion or opt to leave.
If he were to be demoted to deputy chief, city policy dictates that his current salary of $106,452 would not change. The city would then essentially have to pay for two chiefs, Helfrich has argued.
In Monday's Facebook video, Helfrich also urged residents to partake in a town hall Monday, Feb. 10, at LOGOS Academy. That town hall will address legislation related to residency requirements for non-union employees that remains in committee.
The proposed legislation would loosen residential living requirements for the the city's 97 nonunion employees by allowing them to live anywhere in York County as well as in seven surrounding counties.
If the legislation passes, employees would be allowed to live in neighboring Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties, as well as Harford, Baltimore and Carroll counties in Maryland.

British singer-songwriter George Michael passes away in England
NMTV December 26, 2016
British singer-songwriter George Michael has died at his home in Oxfordshire, England at the age of 53.
"It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period," Efe news agency cited a statement by his publicist.
"The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage," the statement continued.
Michael — who was born in London and whose real name was Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou — sold more than 100 million albums during his musical career lasting almost four decades.
He was well-known for his 1984 solo single "Careless Whisper". An ambulance reportedly was called to Michael's home at about 1.42 p.m. (local time) on Sunday afternoon, and local police said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. In 2011, Michael was forced to cancel several concerts after being hospitalised for a very serious case of pneumonia.
Michael had skyrocketed to fame with his childhood friend Andrew Ridgeley as members of the pop duo "Wham!" in the early 1980s. After leaving that group, Michael launched a solo career that included huge hits such as "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1". Earlier, he had released "Faith". An album that Michael arranged, produced and wrote practically alone that went platinum four times over in the United Kingdom.
