One of the things I really like about The Oil Drum is that I learn something new here almost every day. So, I thought I would return the favor by explaining in a bit more detail something you may not know.
Winter gasoline blends are phased in as the weather gets cooler. September 15th is the date of the first increase in RVP, and in some areas the allowed RVP eventually increases to 15 psi. This has two implications for gasoline prices every fall. First, as noted, butane is a cheaper blending component than most of the other ingredients. That makes fall and winter gasoline cheaper to produce. But butane is also abundant, so that means that gasoline supplies effectively increase as the RVP requirement increases. Not only that, but this all takes place after summer driving season, when demand typically falls off.
And that's why gasoline prices generally fall back in the fall, and spring forward in the spring.
So just curious, but how much difference is there in the blends in various regions of country?
For instance living in Houston we have fairly hot summers, and mild winters (I think the first snow fall I've seen since living down here for 18 years was just 2 years ago on Christmas Eve).
Given Houston's relatively stable temperature range, does Houston see as much of this cheaper blend than say New York?
Also while it may not be a good idea to save Winter Gas for summer, are there disadvantages to using Summer Gas in winter?
Like Robert, I once was a refinery scheduler and blender. My job was to write and run computer models (linear programming) to figure out the best crudes to process and to come up with the recipes for various gasoline and fuel blends.
Two problems arise from using winter and summer blends out of season. If you live in a very cold climate and tried to use summer gasoline, the lower RVP of the gasoline will make it more difficult to start the engine. Liquid fuels must be vaporized before they will burn. This isn't as much of a problem with fuel injection as the fuel is atomized and sprayed into the piston. On the intake stroke, the pressure in the cylinder is reduced to below the boiling point of the fuel, so some of the fuel quickly turns into a vapor. On the compression stroke there is not enough time for the vapor to recondense. Cold start problems were common on carbuerator equiped engines.
Using winter gasoline in the summer could cause something called vapor lock, where the fuel vaporizes in the fuel lines before reaching the carb or fuel injectors. Again, this used to be a pretty common problem when cars had mechanically driven fuel pumps that sucked the gasoline from the tank before forcing the fuel into the carbuerator. Cars today are equipped with high pressure electric fuel pumps mounted inside the gas tank. These pumps "push" the liquid fuel towards the engine.
I would assume that is why those of us who have tractors have to put stablizers in our tanks for the winter. What exactly does these additives do?
Gasoline & diesel stabilizers are added for a different reason. To understand the need for them you would need a lesson in basic refining.
Crude oil is mixture of hydrocarbon molecules that have from 4 carbon atoms to 50 or more. Most of the molecules in crude are long single chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached. Called "alkanes" or "parafins" these molecules have no double chemical bonds.
A very simple refinery would process the crude by distillation alone. The distilling process would seperate the crude into smaller fractions of mixtures of similar hydrocarbons. These fracions are called "straight runs" by the blender. Because they come straight from the crude without further processing. The problem is that distillation alone doesn't produce very much of the gasoline and diesel components. A typical barrel of crude might only produce 1/2 barrel of these valuable products. The rest of the crude would be in very light components (C5 pentanes and lighter) and low value heavy fuels (C50 & greater).
To create more gasoline and diesel components, the refiner uses further processing with heat, pressure, and exotic catalysts to break down longer chain hydrocarbons into shorter ones with the desired properties. These processes might include cat-cracking, vis-breaking, hydrocracking, coking, etc.
During this process, some of the hydrocarbons form double bonds (a carbon atom making 2 bonds with an adjacent carbon atom). These compounds are called "unsaturates" because they are not fully saturated by hydrogen atoms. Double bonds are more reactive and less "stable" than single bonds. In the presence of oxygen, like in a gas or diesel can that is opened frequently, the double bonds react to form longer chain hydrocarbons, cyclic compounds and other undesired forms that can lead to gums and heavy deposits.
Adding stabilizers to the diesel or gasoline the stabilizer reacts with the double bonds to keep the heavy compounds from forming.
You can see national (by state) requirements for RVP for conventional gasoline here (PDF, 7 pages), and a map of variations by county (included reformulated gasoline) here.
The latter map gives you a sense of the multiple recipes for gasoline blending that refiners complain about, and you can see why California is virtually an island market and has to depend on its own refineries for gasoline production.
Thank you, Robert, for sharing the information. This is the beauty of TOD, we all learn something every day because those with specialized knowledge help us to understand, and the collective fund of information keeps growing.
Great article. Love to learn.
As I understand it, they do something similar for diesel - in winter there is an anti-gel agent? Is that right?
If you were to store diesel, would it be better to store winter diesel?
On the topic of storage, I have read that you can store diesel for a long time (20 yrs) if conditions are right, is that correct?
From this page, there are two grades of diesel for vehicles, No. 1 or No. 2. No. 1 is lighter, has a lower cloud point, and has less energy than No. 2. Winter diesel can be a blend with more No. 1 and less No. 2 than summer diesel. Winter diesel can also have additives to reduce wax issues.
Thank you RR. I've always wondered about this.
Ah, so no political conspiracy?
My wife is convinced that the upcoming election is behind the drop in prices. Now, in addition to the ending of the SDS, mild hurricane season, repair of Katrina damage, and somewhat lessening of geopolitical tensions I can tell her about RVP values too.
It's interesting that a side effect of changing blends might be to increase the probability that incumbents, regardless of party, are re-elected in November elections.
If I had the time and inclination, tracking the timing which these changes occurredwould be an interesting way to test how influential gas prices are to incumbent reelection in a way that gets around the problem that politicians may be manipulating gas prices.
Anybody think there is an RVP blend effect?
I never knew the RPV vapor lock connection.
Very informative, Robert. Keep up the great work.
An interesting little aside...with fewer storage tanks and bulk storage along the pipelines and implementation of a JIT system, the amount of time to empty the storage tanks of of the summer blend for the winter blend (and visa versa) is much shorter.
Right now, stocks of winter blend are being sent out the pipelines to various terminals for distribution after September 30th. And terminals are depleting their stocks of summertime blends.
Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- OPEC, which pumps 40 percent of the world's oil, lowered its forecast for fourth-quarter and 2006 demand, citing a slowdown in the world's largest economies.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut its outlook for fourth-quarter world demand to 85.6 million barrels a day, down 300,000 barrels a day from its previous forecast a month ago. OPEC also reduced demand forecasts for the current quarter, and for 2007, according to an e-mailed monthly report today.
Oil intensity, or the amount of crude used to produce a unit of economic output, will probably continue to decline as a result of high prices, the group's report said. OPEC this week decided to maintain its current oil production target, as analysts expected. The organization hasn't changed the quota for more than a year as oil prices rose to record levels above $78 a barrel this summer.
``In the long run, strong prices may intensify the downward trend in intensities by accelerating oil-saving and substitution effects,'' the group said in the report. Substitutions include power generators using natural gas rather than fuel oil.
The producer group cut estimates for 2006 and 2007 world demand by 100,000 barrels a day. It still expects world consumption to increase by 1.5 percent or 1.3 million barrels a day next year, which is similar to the current production of Algeria.
OPEC's 11 member nations pumped 29.789 million barrels of crude a day in August, up 90,400 barrels a day from July mainly because of an increase in Venezuela, the report said, citing its survey of ``secondary sources,'' which include estimates by news agencies and analysts.
Excluding Iraq, which was no quota, the other 10 members pumped 27.73 million barrels a day, which was close to the collective target of 28 million barrels.
Supply from non-OPEC countries was forecast at 55.4 million barrels a day for 2006 and 57.5 million barrels a day for 2007, unchanged from OPEC's previous estimate.
``One of the issues we have is that non-OPEC supply is going to increase very much next year,'' Iranian Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri-Hamaneh told reporters in Vienna on Sept. 12.
The changes in the world demand forecast led to corresponding revisions to OPEC's estimate of the demand for its crude oil, which was lowered by 300,000 barrels a day for the fourth quarter, to 28.9 million barrels a day, OPEC's monthly report showed. The so-called ``call on OPEC'' crude was lowered by 200,000 barrels a day for both 2006 and 2007.
Reflecting seasonal changes in world demand and a gradual rise in supply from outside the exporter group, the calculated demand for OPEC crude is expected to peak at 29.2 million barrels a day in the first quarter of 2007, before dropping to 27 million barrels a day in the second quarter.
I wonder when OPEC will begin citing "the development of oil alternatives" as being the reason that "no one is buying" their crude and that the rate of these "alternatives" will happen to match the expected production decline due to depletion.
And that's the true tale of why gasoline prices fall back in the fall, and spring forward in the spring.
This refers to gasoline relative to oil (crack spread) but not directly to absolute gasoline prices as they rely on crude oil as the primary input.
If gasoline prices truly were that predictable to go down every fall, that would already be in the market by July or August - there are many years in the last decade when prices increased in the fall so this phenomenon is a tendency not a rule. I think oil has gone down 6 of the last 10 years from Sep to Dec - I'll have to check on unleaded.
Regarding fall vs spring pricing, there exists an active futures market for oil and natural gas out for 60 months. For unleaded gasoline however, the futures only go out until December of this year.
If gasoline prices truly were that predictable to go down every fall, that would already be in the market by July or August - there are many years in the last decade when prices increased in the fall so this phenomenon is a tendency not a rule.
Hey Nate, I made it to California. Just checking in from the business center in the hotel.
Not all of the inputs come from crude oil. That is part of the point. In the winter, the fraction of butane goes up, meaning that gasoline supplies increase every fall. Whether price rises for some other reason, supply always increases as the vapor pressure goes up because of the ability to put butane in.
That's all for now. Got to run.
This web site has a serious problem. It has absolutely wicked dead spots that seem fairly easy to fix. It's Friday about 3pm. Granted, nothing much is going on in the world of oil. But the site is clocking over 500 hits an hour. This is near peak. But nobody is posting. I tried throwing a Bloomberg article out there to get some talk going. Nothing. I'm not usually here this time, but when I am, it's pretty obvious. Are you telling me only the non-English writing Kuwaitis are logging on. It's noon in California. What's the problem? Don't tell me it's the Pacific Ocean. When people start logging on when they know their friends are gonna be on. That's bad. That creates a polarized community.
Alot of people log on to read, not post. If they dont have anything intelligent to say, it suffices to read the knowledge of others. If everyone who logged on made posts let alone repeated postings, it would reduce the EROI for everyone. And youre Bloomberg post might have been more appropriate in the open thread, rather than one on blended winter gasoline.
Except that this doesn't make any sense. Everyone decides to stop writing and read at the same time? Not. It's because they get burnt out. It has to do with timing and spacing of threads. I have no idea who's listening, but I've expressed this sentiment before. Yours is exactly the second piece of feedback I've gotten. Thank you. We're a bit short, but you are slated to get 93 black-eyed virgins, depending on rate of decline factors. Trust me on this one.
No, you're not the first to notice this, CEO. It's especially the case on Fridays though, which may just be people being fried from the week, etc.
When I referred to Nate as the second, I was implying Jack as the first. And this was in relationship to me whining.
As far as "me" noticing "this" first - I have no idea. But I'm glad "you" as in "the" Professor Goose is at least responding to my concerns. Thank You. I couldn't ask for anything more. I mean that. I'll shut the hell up now.
I have about four years of experience using scoop based discussion sites. Once threads go beyond ~150 posts they become hard to read. There is also an ego based disincentive as posts that are buried deep in a discussion thread are less likely to get attention. There is a similar disincentive for threads that are over ~6 hours old as they are less likely to get new/repeat readers.
I don't have ideas for fixing this beyond enabling the diary/story feature for individual users (ala dailykos) which I don't think the admins are interested in. Allowing personal diaries would space things out a bit and could serve as a partial replacement / enhancement for the daily open threads. On the other hand personals diaries become competition for the overall narrative of the site which I imagine the admins aren't interested in.
Personally I prefer this site as it is - this topic is extremely prone to conspiracy theory and emotional hysteria, thus to be a bit elitist I don't want the "rabble" in a position to drive the narrative more than they already do.
Well the "irony" is that I'm part of the rabble too. I guess I hate freedom.
I've wondered if two threads might be appropriate at times. One aimed a little more towards technical aspects, and another for a little more speculative discourse. But I can't even begin to predict how something like that would turn out.
I can assure you that I am not "the" anything... !laugh!
The price of crude has dropped a lot recently. Are there any projections on how long this drop will last? Or is this like trying to predict the weather? It's funny how many fields tend to be horribly inaccurate in the short term but incredibly accurate in the long term.
Are there any projections on how long this drop will last?
Im reasonably certain the market is waiting for me to liquidate my last long oil and gasoline futures positions and then it will head higher. I'll keep you posted.
Interesting article...and interesting post Kingofkaty!


Is Dogecoin (DOGE) Worth Hodling In 2019?
Dogecoin (DOGE) has been teetering to the brink with its current price $0.0019 and trading hovering around the $0.2 mark for the past few months. However, the popular cryptocurrency has proven over the years of recovering from bearish markets.
This brings us to the conundrum faced by some crypto investors as regard's hodling the coin in 2018.
The coin was created after a meme in 2013 making it one of the oldest coin and is among the top cryptos in circulation. It also ranks 24th in terms of Market cap which is remarkable considering the lack of interest in the digitoken by many in recent years.
Since the departure of its founder Jackon Palmer, the Dogecoin (DOGE) has lacked direction, which has led to several predictions of its demise. Despite this, Dogecoin has a remarkable loyal user base despite the lack of any significant updates in recent years.
The coin is also a sure bet in terms of longevity and has outlived several ICOs that have launched since its inception which shows that it is unlikely to go burst anytime soon.
Dogecoin had more daily addresses than all other cryptos except Bitcoin and Ethereum in December 2018 which suggests that the coin still has active users.
However, from an investment point, Dogecoin is not an attractive coin to hodl. One of the key aspects which investors look out before investing is the prospects for developments. Dogecoin has not witnessed any significant update to its technology since 2015.
The development team has not made any significant announcements in recent years and it looks like the coin's development has stagnated.
Furthermore, Dogecoin, unlike Bitcoin, has a high inflation rate and has an uncapped coin supply. This uncontrolled supply leads to inflation which can see the value of the coin reduce rapidly. Thus not a good representation from an investment point of view.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is quite stable in the market, with rise from time to time due to market forces. It is relatively cheap to acquire and is accepted by a number of small businesses. If you want a coin that is ideal for tipping communities, Dogecoin is the perfect coin.
If you are into cryptocurrency as a means of investment, Dogecoin (DOGE) is a great choice for you. Even though the altcoin churned out little or no development in recent time, it has been able to maintain a stable anchor in the space, giving the altcoin great potential.
Also, the fact that Dogecoin (DOGE), aside Bitcoin and Ethereum had the highest daily address in December 2018, is sure a feather on the cap of the altcoin. Though no one know tomorrow, but Dogecoin (DOGE) might be amongst the best in rainy season.

Press Release: Interview with Bruce Timm on "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths,"
Clip from film version 1
Warner Home Video will distribute the full-length animated Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths on February 23 as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def, as well as single disc DVD, and On Demand and Download.
Timm, the executive producer on "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths," has been the creative force behind many of Warner Bros. Animation's modern-day successes, elevating DC Comics' canon of super heroes to new heights of animated popularity and introducing generations of new fans to the characters via landmark television series and made-for-DVD films. The latter task includes the creation of the current series of DC Universe animated original movies, which have drawn critical acclaim and further whetted the public's appetite for comic book entertainment. "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" is the seventh film in the ongoing DC Universe series.
And here's what Mr. Timm had to say …
What excites you about Juctice League: Crisis on Two Earths?
Bruce Timm:
In a weird kind of way, this is a return to my favorite show Justice League Unlimited. The original script was intended to be the bridge story between Justice League and Justice League Unlimited to explain how we went from seven heroes to more than 50 super heroes. We loved the story and the script, and it floated around here for years while we tried to figure out what to do with it – it was considered for a comic, but fortunately that got shot down. Then we took a look at it and, with just a few slight tweaks, we jumped at the chance to make it a DC Universe movie.
What sets it apart from the TV version of Justice League?
It's a very satisfying, grand scale adventure movie with a big cast of interesting, quirky characters. It's amazing how much it feels like a great episode of Justice League Unlimited as a big, epic film with slightly different visual stylings. That's a good thing.
Did this film present challenges that the first six DC Universe movies did not?
The biggest challenge, and this is kind of esoteric, was that we had to find the line between the original source material and making it feel like a stand-alone movie so anyone that didn't watch JLU could follow it. We really didn't have to tweak the script too much – I think about 95 percent remains untouched. In terms of visual styling, we also wanted it to stand on its own and not necessarily as a continuation of the old show. We have this brilliant character designer – Phil Bourassa – who draws in a style similar to my own in terms of simplicity, but slightly different. So it doesn't look 180 degrees away from the old show, but it definitely feels unique.
What are the benefits of having two directors on the same film?
The positive for Sam and Lauren is that having two directors lightens the workload, because it's a big movie. They have similar strengths, and they're both very good at what they do. They're both all around talented in terms of understanding story, acting, the emotional core of the story, and they're both really good at directing big crazy action scenes. But they're methodology is different. Sam thinks a lot, he's very analytical. Lauren is more intuitive about everything. I just kind of stayed out of it when they had disagreements – fortunately I never had to be the tiebreaker, They just worked things out between the two of them.
What are Dwayne McDuffie's strengths?
Dwayne is really well-rounded as a writer – he knows comics inside and out, he understands the lore, he knows what makes a good super hero story, and at the same time he's really good with character dynamics and conflict. Plus he's one of the best dialogue writers in the business.
Of this fairly huge cast, do you have a favorite character?
In this story, it's probably Owlman. He's a fascinating character himself, but the dynamic with Superwoman is so messed up as a couple, and yet really appealing in a weird kind of way. It's a little similar to JLU's relationship between The Question and Huntress. Superwoman is this badass hot chick, and he's the quiet, brainy, nerd guy. They're an interesting, odd couple. Plus I loved both James' (Woods) and Gina's (Torres) performances – they were spot-on. The amazing thing is we like to get all the actors to record as an ensemble, but in this case it wasn't feasible, So they never met or performed together, but they totally mesh. It's such an interesting chemistry considering they've never even met.
You've brought another all-star cast to this film. Anything fans don't know about the casting choices this time around?
There's an interesting side note in that Vanessa Marshall, who plays Wonder Woman, came this close to playing the role in Justice League. We were down to the final two choices, and they were neck and neck. The thing about Vanessa is that she sounded perfect for Wonder Woman – exactly what she should sound like. But Susan Eisenberg had this vulnerability. We thought it would be interesting to not play her to type, which ultimately played really well. When it came to casting for this movie, we thought, "What if we go down the road not taken?" So we opted for Vanessa in a full-length movie and she is great.
"Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" includes the premiere of the first DC Showcase animation short, "The Spectre." How have the DC Showcase shorts changed your work day?
The DC Showcase is fun because it gives us an opportunity to play with characters that maybe don't have a broad enough marquee value to support their own movie. As much as I like Batman, Superman, etc., the more lower tier, offbeat characters are really fascinating to me. It's fun to mess around with others characters in the DC Universe. Super heroes are great, but it's nice to do a change of pace, and that's a lot of what we've done here. "The Spectre" is a supernatural thriller,; "Jonah Hex" is a western, and so on. So the Showcase is giving us a chance to stretch different muscles.
After taking a break from episodic TV for the past several years, are you enjoying a return to the short-form with the DC Showcase?
The interesting thing is these are really short form – they're half as long as a half-hour TV episode. So the story has to be really tight and condensed – you have to cut away the fat, but it can't be just wall-to-wall action. It still has to be a story. Fortunately we're working with some really great writers, and because of that, every time we roll tape on these shorts, they feel like you've watched a whole episode of something. There's a clear beginning, middle and end – a full story. So mission accomplished.
What made Steve Niles the right guy to write "The Spectre," and how did you lure him into writing an animated short?
I've admired Steve Niles' work for a long time and, honestly, it would have never occurred to me to approach him. That was Todd Casey's suggestion. He contacted Steve, and Steve was thrilled to get the assignment. He's a big Michael Fleisher/Jim Aparo fan, and a big fan of "The Spectre" – especially that 1970s era of the character. Steve is very into crime fiction and horror, so he was the perfect writer for it.
Does "The Spectre" hold any special significance for you?
"The Spectre" was one of my favorite characters back in the 70s. Even by today's standards, those comics are pretty hard core, and they were written in 1974, I don't know how they got some of that stuff past the comic code. It was so different from any other comic on the stands. It's really dark, really nasty. The character is pretty easy to understand – he's the dark avenger of the night, even more so than Batman. He punishes bad guys in horrible, horrible ways. He's like the benign Freddie Krueger. I've wanted to use "The Spectre" for a long, long time and we never had a opportunity to do it, and this was our chance to go hog wild with him.

WINDHOEK, 20 APR (NAMPA) - The Swapo-Party Women's Council (SPWC) will hold its national congress from 08 to 10 December in Keetmanshoop this year.
Addressing a media briefing in the capital on Wednesday, Deputy Secretary for Information and Mobilisation, Hilma Nicanor said at the council's meeting held on 09 April 2016, it was agreed to establish a national congress preparatory committee to be headed by SPWC Secretary Petrina Haingura and regional committees to be headed by regional coordinators.
She added that sub-committees will also be established for the smooth running of the congress preparations and will concentrate on administration, logistics, finance, safety and security.
All 14 regions were directed to conduct a restructuring process and to hold regional conferences prior to the congress in accordance with the SPWC constitution.
Nicanor further said the meeting also agreed to have an extra-ordinary Central Committee meeting to review the progress of the congress preparations.

is understanding where you go to school.
Both the educational system of your country and your actual school.
education systems, so that part is not the problem.
Understanding your specific school, however, is much more difficult.
Many high schools around the world have a document called a School Profile.
universities along with the official academic documents.
A school profile includes information all about the school.
how many students are in the school or how many students are in the graduating class.
Also, information about the school community.
Is it a boarding school, and who is it that attends?
what is the grading scale used at your school?
Is it A through F, 0 through 4, 0 through 10, 0 through 100?
What is the minimum grade required to pass?
Are grades weighted or unweighted?
so how does your school calculate grade point average?
What's the highest GPA in the class, what's the lowest GPA in the class?
What is the distribution of the GPAs within the class?
The curriculum at your high school is important.
Is the curriculum set or flexible?
What classes do all students have to take to graduate?
Does the school offer more difficult college preparatory type classes?
Or are all the classes the same level of difficulty?
A common piece of school profiles is college admission information.
How many students from your school go to college or university after graduation?
How many go to school in the US?
in other countries around the world?
Which specific schools have graduates attended?
contact with questions about you or questions about the school?
of the kind of information that can be on a school profile.
Find out if your school all ready has a school profile.
that can help your school write and create a school profile.
be helping the students that come after you who are applying for US admission.
Now, school forms is actually a term that refers to the common application.
which captures information about you.
forms about your school to capture that information about where you were educated.
On most applications, you're going to be asked to list a school counselor.
called a school counselor, and that is just fine.
You need to list someone.
Anyone who can provide information about you or your school.
That could be a principal.
Someone who is called a counselor.
Whoever you list will be asked to fill out forms as part of your application.
to the types of information that we discussed for the school profile.
Now, understand that these forms impact your application in two big ways.
First, at many universities, these forms are a requirement.
meaning your application will never be read.
when evaluating your application for admission.
and how well you have taken advantage of your educational opportunities.
What if your school did not offer harder classes?
shares that information on a profile or on the school forms.
What if your school gives grades from 0 to 100 and your average is an 85?
Most people would look at that and assume you were an average student.
But what if the highest average in your class was an 88?
Now, how does your 85 average look?
to know that type of information unless your school gives it to them.
will go on to attend great universities, either at home or abroad.
Maybe you're a good student, but not at the very top of the class.
school is very different than being in the middle of the class at another school.
competitive your school is unless your school tells them.
submitted either online electronically or physically by post.
Your specific situation should determine which way you submit.
sometimes it's just easier to submit paper documents by post.
The timing of your school documents will also depend on your situation.
can act as your school counselor, then you don't have much work to do.
have someone who can act as your school counselor, you have a lot of work to do.
start having conversations about this piece of the application now.
add this piece to your application plan.
your application until you have all of this information.
So make sure that you do not wait too long.
or even identifying a counselor, is going to be difficult.
Look at it from an admission counselor's perspective.
what impression does that give?
who would you feel more confident in accepting?
Someone whose educational background you know and understand?
Someone that has a counselor that can answer questions for you?
Or someone whose educational background is a complete mystery?
Always keep your best application in mind.
submitting your best application for admission.

Gun Violence Reform
Responsible gun owners like myself are the overwhelming majority of gun users in this country. Most of us at this point agree that doing NOTHING isn't the solution. Most of us can see that our politicians doing nothing is the real threat to our 2nd amendment. I own multiple weapons, was a former member of the NRA, and received a Q+ rating in 2016 (the highest a non-elected candidate can receive). I am from CD8, I have a brother who is an Army Ranger, many of my friends are law enforcement and military. The 2nd amendment is something I take seriously. Owning guns isn't exclusive to being Republican. I have two little boys, my guns are maintained and stored in a safe. I say all of this because apparently, these days a man must start with his support of the 2nd amendment before mentioning common sense when speaking about gun violence. It's a pathetic testament to how warped our society and our politics have become.
Like most things in life, the actions of a few often and unfortunately reflect on everyone in the group. But unlike most instances where this dynamic occurs, gun violence ends in death. Not the kind we see on the battle fields of "glory" and "purpose". We see these deaths in our children's classrooms, our entertainment venues, our shopping centers, offices, and our places of worship. Worse yet is the response from millions online who show neither compassion nor a basic fundamental value for a fellow human being's life. So much for "One Nation Under God" and "We the people," huh?
As a candidate for United States Congress it is my duty to not only represent my district's citizens, but when necessary make the hard decisions and take a stand for all of us as well. My opponent has, once again, offered nothing to the victims and society but thoughts and prayers. With all due respect Mrs. Lesko, your "thoughts and prayers" won't bring people back from the dead or reduce the problem. Only action does that and it's clear that you're not up to doing your job.
View My Proposal
Call on the Senate to vote on the gun legislation before them such as HR8
Vote out elected officials funded by gun lobbies
Universal background checks are supported by the majority of this country. Require them.
Allow and fund Center For Disease Control (CDC) research into gun violence and make findings public.
Require healthcare programs to include mental health and counseling as part of standard insurance coverage and include it in Primary and Secondary school programs.
Close the "boyfriend loop hole"
7) Reverse Citizens United


Keban is 49 km (30 mile) far to Elazig . Keban is a town and district of Elazig Province of Turkey. The mayor is Hadi Turan. The population is 4857.
Keban is at the west of Elazig Province and 46 km. far away from province center. At the east of Keban, there is Elazığ Province. At west, Arapgir District of Malatya Province, at north there is Cemisgezek District of Tunceli Province, at northwest, Agin District, at south, Baskil province. There is the second biggest dam of Turkey, Keban Dam.
The Keban Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates, located in the Elazığ Province of Turkey. The dam was the first and uppermost of several large-scale dams to be built on the Euphrates by Turkey. Although the Keban Dam was not originally constructed as a part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP), it is now a fully integrated component of the project, which aims to stimulate economic development in Southeastern Turkey. Construction of the dam commenced in 1966 and was completed in 1974. Keban Dam Lake, the reservoir created by Keban Dam, has a surface area of 675 square kilometres (261 sq mi) and is reputedly the fourth-largest lake in Turkey after Lake Van, Lake Tuz, and the reservoir created by the Ataturk Dam.
Construction of the Keban Dam was first proposed in 1936 by the newly established Electric Affairs Survey Administration, but not started before 1966. Construction was carried out by the French-Italian consortium SCI-Impreglio and completed in 1974. Estimates of the total construction cost vary between US$85 million and US$300 million. At that time, archaeological rescue missions had also been carried out at important sites that were to be flooded. Flooding of the reservoir started in 1974 and led to the displacement of 25,000 people. During the flooding of the Keban Reservoir, Turkey maintained the discharge of the Euphrates at 450 cubic metres (16,000 cu ft) per second, as agreed with the downstream countries of Syria and Iraq. However, as a result of the fact that Syria was at that time filling the reservoir of its newly constructed Tabqa Dam as well, in 1975 a dispute broke out between Syria and Iraq over the amount of water that flowed into Iraq. This dispute, exacerbated by drought which reduced the amount of available water even further, was solved by mediation of Saudi Arabia. After the initial filling of the lake, geological weaknesses in the bedrock on which the dam was built necessitated a temporary lowering of the lake level in order to carry out extensive reinforcement works. Reportedly, Keban Dam was the world's eighteenth-tallest dam at completion, creating Turkey's largest man-made reservoir and third-largest lake until the filling of the reservoir of the Ataturk Dam.


A heads-up that if anyone is looking for a harness, I have a spare G-Force cam-lock that was recently rewebbed (stamped Oct-2014) and has never been mounted. I'll add the link to the posting in the classifieds section once it get approved.

Compared to White adults in the United States, Black adults are two-thirds as likely to hold a college degree and Latino adults are only half as likely – with both groups attaining degrees at a lower rate in 2016 than White adults did back in 1990.
So say research findings in a new report by The Education Trust, which is calling on policymakers at the states level to take action to reduce the racial disparities. Given data that indicates that degree attainment is a direct path to upward social mobility, it's important for the gap to be closed as minorities continue to comprise a growing segment of the workforce, according to the nonprofit educational advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.
"If state leaders are serious about racial equity and reaching their goals to increase the number of college-educated residents in their states, they need to be honest about what their data are telling them about Black, Latino, and other racial or ethnic groups," said Dr. Andrew H. Nichols, co-author of the two briefs in the report and senior director of higher education research and data analytics at Ed Trust.
In 2016, while 47.1 percent of White adults had attained some form of college degree, only 30.8 percent of Blacks and 22.6 percent of Latinos had.
The states with the largest White-Black gaps were Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin; for White-Latino gaps, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and Nebraska.
The states with the lowest degree attainment for Blacks were Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Wisconsin and West Virginia; for Latinos, they were Arkansas, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada and Oklahoma.
The states with the highest degree-attainment for Latinos were Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Virginia; for Blacks, they were Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, New Mexico and Washington.
The states making the largest gains in degree attainment for Latinos were Florida, New York and Wyoming; for Blacks, Connecticut, North Carolina, Nebraska, Maryland, New Mexico and Virginia.
Numerous studies paint an urgent picture. By next year, about 65 percent of American jobs will require some form of college, compared with just 28 percent of jobs in 1973. Earning a college degree provides more job security, employment opportunities and higher wages. Higher levels of degree attainment also are associated with more widespread social benefits. This is especially important for Black and Latino Americans, who face systemic barriers that inhibit their opportunities for upward mobility. Additionally, increased levels of educational attainment associate directly with lower rates of crime and incarceration as well as better health, more volunteerism, higher levels of voting and political engagement, and greater issues charitable and philanthropic giving.
The topic was raised Monday during a forum about why the nation needs to improve college sponsored by Educational Testing Service, the American Council on Education and Diverse. Ed Trust president and CEO Dr. John B. King, Jr. said during a panel discussion at the National Center on Higher Education in D.C. that he was unsure whether free community college or state "promise" programs could help reduce degree-attainment disparities. Responding to a question, he urged funding institutional programs that specifically target underrepresented and vulnerable groups and that lower barriers such as access to food, affordable housing and daycare for children of student-parents and other problems that disproportionately impact students of color.
"That's what it will take to deliver on the word 'promise,'" said King.
Another panelist, Trinity Washington University President Patricia McGuire, also placed some responsibility on institutions of higher learning – some of whom say that so many underrepresented groups make the problem difficult for schools to effectively address their concerns individually.
King addressed the question further in an interview with Diverse after the forum.
Closing the racial disparity gaps is a critical and national "workplace-readiness issue," especially as college costs continue to rise, Baszile added.

In the money market, we often deal with pure discount instruments. The purchase price of a pure discount instrument is lower than its face value. The difference between the face value and the purchase price is called the dollar discount and it's the investor's only profit.
Pure discount instruments such as U.S. Treasury bills (known as T-bills) are quoted as the value of the discount expressed as a percentage of the face value. In other words, they are quoted on a bank discount basis.
annualizes with simple interest, so it does not account for the opportunity to reinvest interest.
The holding period yield (HPY) is the return on an investment earned over the life of the instrument remaining after the purchase, including any additional cash flows.
Note that this formula is actually the same as the formula for the holding period return (HPR).
The effective annual yield (EAY) is an annualized return that takes compounding into account and assumes that one year equals 365 days.
The effective annual yield can be explained as the interest that you could earn over one year if your funds were immediately reinvested on the same conditions.
Note that this formula is actually the same as the formula for the effective annual rate (EAR) from reading 6 in your CFA curriculum.
Assume you've bought a T-bill with a face value of USD 10,000 for USD 9,600, 180 days before its maturity. What are the bill's dollar discount, bank discount yield, and money market yield?
for the effective annual yield it is 365 days.
Also, remember that the bank discount yield and money market yield do not properly reflect the return on the investment.

Q: using html helper for dropdownlist in javascript not working I am using html helper for dropdownlist in javascript function but it's not working. I have tried using various syntax with or without encoder etc but it is rendering as string not as a html control. Actually I have to create dynamic dropdownlist each time my Add new row button is clicked. Placing the code for dropdownlist in view is working fine but in javascript file it is rendering as simple text.
addServer.js-Way1
function addServerRow() {
    var html = '
' +
                '<input type="text" name="ServerAllNetworks.ServerPrivateNetworks[' + _totalRows + '].IPAddress" class="form-control" id="' + 'txtIpAddress' + _totalRows + '">	' +
                '@Ajax.JavaScriptStringEncode(Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.ServerPrivateNetworks, ViewData["PrivateNetwork"] as List<SelectListItem>, "Select",new { Class = "form-control", data_required = "true"}).ToHtmlString())	' +
                '
'
    $(html).appendTo($("#tblServerPrivateNw"))
};
$("#btnAddPrivateServerNetwork").click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    _totalRows += 1;
    addServerRow();
});

I have tried the other way also to create dropdownlist it works fine but when I select item from the dynamically created dropdownlists I get null value in my controller on form submission. Below is the code used
addServer.js-Way2
function addServerRow() {
    var html = '
' +
                '<input type="text" name="ServerAllNetworks.ServerPrivateNetworks[' + _totalRows + '].IPAddress" class="form-control" id="' + 'txtIpAddress' + _totalRows + '">	' +
                '<select class="form-control" name="ServerAllNetworks.ServerPrivateNetworks" id="' + 'drpPrivateNetwork' + _totalRows + '" />	' +
                '<input type="button" class="btnremove" value="-" />	' +
                '
'
    $(html).appendTo($("#tblServerPrivateNw"))
            var drplist = document.getElementById('drpPrivateNetwork' + _totalRows);
            for (i = 0; i < allPrivateNetworks.length; i++) {
                var option = document.createElement('option');
                option.text = allPrivateNetworks[i].Name;
                option.value = allPrivateNetworks.Id;
                drplist.add(option, 0);
            }
};
$("#btnAddPrivateServerNetwork").click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    _totalRows += 1;
    addServerRow();
});

My model for this dropdownlist is ServerAllNetworks and dropdownlist is used to get PrivateNetworkId
public class ServerAllNetworks
{
    public ServerDetails server { get; set; }
    public List<ServerPrivateNetworkDetails> ServerPrivateNetworks { get; set; }
}

public class ServerPrivateNetworkDetails : ServerPrivateNetwork
{
    public string ServerName { get; set; }
    public string PrivateNetworkName { get; set; }
}
public partial class ServerPrivateNetwork
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int ServerID { get; set; }
    public int PrivateNetworkID { get; set; }
    public string IPAddress { get; set; }
}

I can use any of the two ways please suggest which way is better and then suggest the solution for the problem faced in that way.
My controller code is
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Add(FormCollection form, int ServerTypeID)
{
    GetDropDownList();
    ServerAllNetworks serverAllNetworks = new ServerAllNetworks();
    ServerDetails serverDetails = new ServerDetails();
    serverDetails.ServerName = Request["server.ServerName"].ToString();
    serverDetails.ServerTypeID = Convert.ToInt16((Request["server.ServerTypeID"]).ToString());
    serverDetails.Domain = Request["server.Domain"].ToString();
    serverDetails.NickName = Request["server.NickName"].ToString();
    serverDetails.ServiceProviderID = Convert.ToInt32(Request["server.ServiceProviderId"]);
    serverDetails.PublicIP = Request["server.PublicIP"];
    serverAllNetworks.server = serverDetails;
    var privateNetworkIdsList = Request["\"ServerPrivateNetworks\""];
    var newprivateNetworkIdsList = Regex.Replace(privateNetworkIdsList, "[^.0-9,]", "").Split(',').ToList();
    for (int i = 1; i <= newprivateNetworkIdsList.Count; i++ )
    {
        ServerPrivateNetworkDetails serverPrivateNetworkDetails = new ServerPrivateNetworkDetails();
        serverPrivateNetworkDetails.IPAddress = Request["ServerAllNetworks.ServerPrivateNetworks.IPAddress" + i].ToString();
        serverPrivateNetworkDetails.PrivateNetworkID = Convert.ToInt32(newprivateNetworkIdsList[0]);
        serverAllNetworks.ServerPrivateNetworks.Add(serverPrivateNetworkDetails);
    }
    //if (!ValidateServer(serverAllNetworks.server, ModelState))
    //{
    //    var result = AdminService.AddServer(serverAllNetworks);
    //    ViewBag.Message = result > 0 ? Message.ServerAddSuccessfully : Message.ServerAddError;
    //    SessionItems.ServerTypes = GetMenuItem();

    //    if (result > 0)
    //        return RedirectToAction("Dashboard", "Home");
    //}
    return View();
}

Currently I am using the way1 but have placed the code in view itself.Now the problem I am facing is for dropdown for servertypeid and serviceproviderid I am getting all values of dropdown not just the selected value. Please help.

Banky Wellington, otherwise known as Banky W, the singer gone actor gone politician whose declaration to run for office in the House of Representatives for Eti-Osa shocked everyone, recently announced this morning that there will be a problem with the upcoming voting ballots-his logo won't be on it.
Banky W represents the newly formed Modern Democratic Party (MDP) whose logo features a ladder with the abbreviation MDP on each rung in ascending order.
But will the changed logo affect his chances? The Guardian took to the streets of Eti-Osa to find out.
The problem is in the logo!
Of the 23 people interviewed, 19 admitted they voted by logo rather than written word. 10 said it would change the vote. None of them knew what the new logo was.
For some like Chinelo Amadi, a schoolteacher and Tofunwa Bakare, a university student, the high levels of illiteracy don't matter.
With the elections in less than three weeks Banky W is mass producing new posters and signs featuring the new logo, but to the people of Eti-Osa, it seems the damage is done.
Legally, Banky has ground to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission, Bunmi Popoola-Mordi, Head of Law for Total Oil Company and law consultant for The Guardian, states. The likelihood of such a suit seems imminent as it's also been revealed that Banky W's name has also been misspelt on the ballot. Coincidence or sabotage? Either way Banky's in for a rough election.

Melbourne beaches can have their ups and downs. From shameless tourists and gym junkies to the airheads and rollerbladers there are plenty of reasons that an air-conditioned library is sometimes more appealing than the hot sands of the Bayside foreshore. But what happens when a tired old takeaway down by the water gets knocked up and 9 months later is reborn as a serious must-eat-at Melbourne destination? Well, apart from burning your stupid library card I guess the next thing to do is start practicing you're roundhouse kicks, because this place knows how to draw a crowd.
When owner and Chef, Michael Nham, saw the opportunity to start his own establishment right on the water, he leapt for it. Growing up in a Vietnamese/Taiwanese family, Michael tells us that his adoration for food and cooking all started at quite a young age. He reckons the first time he was introduced to Western food he basically lost his mind. The culprit was lasagna – a whole new world of flavour for him, so he just kept eating it and eating until he eventually just threw up (what a champ). Since those early days his passion for Western and even Fast-food has continued to grow. This is where NSHRY and their Umami Burger fit in. When opening his beach side eatery he knew he had to have a burger on the menu, and after extensive research and time planning what he was going to create, he drew on Umami for inspiration.
It's not every day that you come across a burger that can get juice flowing down to your elbow. Michael Nham has created something here that really is remarkable. When everyone is jamming Wagyu into their burgers as a fancy wallet emptying tactic, he stops and reconsiders, telling us that a "100% Wagyu pattie has no place in a burger. You end up losing a lot of beefy flavours". By mixing his Wagyu with Angus Beef he is able to achieve the best of both worlds – the fatty softness of the Wagyu whilst delivering the beefy kick of the Angus. He goes on to tell us about how in order to achieve his desired result, the tomato MUST be roasted, the onion jam needs about 8 hours of love and the plump pattie will not only meet the pan at searing heats, but will end up visiting the oven before being placed on its sweet brioche resting place. It's ridiculous, the man has turned the humble act of placing meat between a bun into an art-form, and for that we commend him. So, to Michael, his sister Jen who runs the floor, and to the rest of the staff at NSHRY, a huge congratulations is in order! When everyone in Melbourne has been zigging, you've zagged… and it's payed off.

Most days of the week its just a bit of parkland – not much happens there. People ride their bikes whilst others walk dogs. But if you're walking your dog there on a Friday night be prepared for some traffic. At the corner of Park and Rathdowne Streets, North Carlton, you'll find Raph and his Beatbox Kitchen. When you finally make you're way to the front of the long line you've got a few simple questions to ask yourself: Raph Burger or Mushroom Burger? Chips? Drink? ..and did I just order food out of a huge stereo?
This retro boombox on wheels has been serving up "awesomness in a bun" since late 2009, kicking off its maiden tour at the Meredith Music Festival. But long before their first burgers were being served to their adoring public, Raph was voyaging back and forth to the USA researching different meat blends, finding the right cheeses, produce and ratios. Pretty much, he was learning from the original and the best. After some time, he had perfected his recipe and it was time to share it with the people.
How did we come to this decision you may ask? Well, if you've tried the Raph Burger you won't need any explanation. However, when we decided that someone had to be crowned for their efforts in 2010 we each voted. From the soft bun, salty pattie and creamy gouda, his burger is absolutley World Class. For our review in full click here.
So a BIG congratulations to Raph and his team; a well-deserved triumph. With a busy year ahead grilling at festivals, the Rooftop Shack and an all new Mexican inspired project, the "Taco Truck", we asked Raph if he could offer one last piece of advice to those Melbourne burger joints that'll be striving for the 2011 prize. Quite simply and honestly put, he said, "Less is more"… and we couldn't agree more.

Q: Custom filter for short and full name in angularjs I want to create a filter that could filter by short name and full name
I have done it by full name

angular.module('myApp', []).controller('namesCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.names = [
        'Indian Overseas Bank',
        'Housing Development Finance Corporation',
        'Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India',
        'Indian Bank',
        'City Bank',
        'City Union Bank',
        'Kotak Mahindra Bank',
        'Tamilnadu Mercantile Bank ',
        'State Bank Of India'
    ];
});

<!DOCTYPE html>

Type a letter in the input field:

<input type="text" ng-model="test">

    {{ x }}

But I am not sure, how can I filter by short name like IOB, HDFC, SBI?
I want to the result to be like
Filter word     : Expected result

IOB             : Indian Overseas Bank
HDFC            : Housing Development Finance Corporation
SBI             : Stete Bank of India
ICICI           : Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India'

Note : Those banks are Indian banks. See, when I do filtering by  SBI and ICICI then filter won't recognize of, and words.

Also if I am typing normal word like india, then I am expecting the results to be filtered by india same as I have done in the snippet . How could do this?

A: Clearly you need a custom filter. Your job is to break words into abbreviations. Then you can simply match the model to your abbreviations as a normal filter would, I suggest .indexOf() method.
Here is my simple demo:

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.filter('myFilter', function() {
  return function(inp, model) {
    if (!model) {
      return inp;
    }
    var ignore = ["of", "and", "Of", "And"];
    var array = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < inp.length; i++) {
      var str = "";
      var arr = inp[i].split(" ");
      for (var j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) {
        if (ignore.indexOf(arr[j]) == -1) {
          str += arr[j][0];
        }
      }
      // str = str.toLowerCase();
      // model = model.toLowerCase();
      if (str.indexOf(model) != -1) {
        array.push(inp[i]);
      }
    }
    return array;
  };
});
app.controller('namesCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.names = [
    'Indian Overseas Bank',
    'Housing Development Finance Corporation',
    'Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India',
    'Indian Bank',
    'City Bank',
    'City Union Bank',
    'Kotak Mahindra Bank',
    'Tamilnadu Mercantile Bank ',
    'State Bank Of India'
  ];
});
