MONTEGO BAY, St James — The flag backdrop foul-up at the swearing-in ceremony for St James councillors at the Montego Bay Civic Centre plunged into a fresh round of controversy yesterday when the contractor who decorated the room at the function denied a claim by Montego Bay Mayor Glendon Harris that a shortage of green material led to the green being left out of the design.
In a statement to the media, Denton Edwards of Eddies Fabric Work & Décor, who is at the centre of the controversy, said the claim was unfounded.
"I wish to note that there was no shortage of green cloth to complete the task, and I would have been able to complete the backdrop depicting the Jamaican Flag if I was afforded the opportunity so to do," Edwards stated.
He also contradicted Mayor Harris's announcement that the fee charged for the decoration would be returned.
"As it relates to published reports that I have committed to refund the contracted amount of $30,000, I wish to hereby refute such claim as I am currently out of pocket in terms of the cost of the project," he said.
Edwards said over the years he has provided sterling work to the St James Parish Council, which included Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonies, Heroes and Independence Day celebrations. Additionally, he said, he has done work for a number of private sector entities, including hotels.
Edwards claimed that he was instructed to leave the green out of the flag by Courtney Humes, whom he alleged is employed to the Western Division of the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), in the interest of time.
But Humes, in a telephone interview with the Jamaica Observer last night, denied the claim, adding that he is not employed to the OPM.
Addressing the regular monthly meeting of the St James Parish Council on Thursday, Harris said that Edwards had accepted full responsibility for the foul-up in the decoration of the civic centre and had decided to refund his $30,000 fee to the local authority.
But Edwards said yesterday that he gave no undertaking for the return of the money.
Last night, Edwards' attorney George Thomas said his client is not considering legal action at the moment, "but if there are counter actions and counter arguments then we will have to look at something".
He explained that his client is now concerned that the matter, which has attracted widespread publicity, might affect his business.
"That is his main concern right now: that it would affect him businesswise; people might think that he is incompetent," Thomas argued.
"He has done work for the council many times. He is a Jamaican and he knows what the colours on the Jamaican Flag are, and he is very competent," said Thomas.
Harris could not be reached for a comment on the matter last night, but he had made it clear at Thursday's parish council meeting that he does not intend to make any further comment on the matter.
The omission of the green from the backdrop which was designed to depict the Jamaican Flag at the March 29 ceremony caused consternation among members of the public and the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party whose leader Andrew Holness described the action as "vulgar".
The PNP-controlled council has also been accused of deliberately omitting the green from the design because the colour is that used by the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party.

Galco GLOCK 17/19/22 M7X MATRIX BLACK RIGHT
Galco International was founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois. Known then as the famous jackass leather company, Gallagher specialized in holsters constructed of horsehide. In 1980 the business was moved from Chicago to its present home in Phoenix, Arizona, and in 1983 the name of the company was changed to galco International. ALREADY famous for high quality and innovative designs, galco gained worldwide notoriety when the jackass shoulder system became a recurring character on the popular 1980's TV Series Miami vice. In the new century, galco continues to be a favorite choice of Hollywood, appearing in more films and TV shows than any other holster maker. Perhaps more importantly, galco remains a Major force in real-world firearms usage. Law enforcement personnel around the nation and across the world - from local departments to the largest Federal agencies - are issued and use galco products. Galco's array of law enforcement products ranges from concealment holsters to rifle slings approved by the National Tactical officer's Association.

Discussion in 'NDS - Flashcarts and Accessories' started by Relic, Sep 3, 2006.
I already have a G6 lite but that's maybe not the best solution for homebrew. I'm thinking a Supercard CF is probably still the best choice for compatibility but before I order one I was wondering what you all thought. I know a compiled fatlib for G3 was released but it has yet to make much of an impact. What about the mini/micro/SD carts? Are they 100% yet? Would you advise a wait-and-see approach? What are the pros and cons of the different solutions?
definitely you should be looking @ a supercard (maybe not the sc lite since the new micro sd still has slight library problems with the homebrews). The m3 does fine on its own as well....but I'm sure the new micro card based m3 lite will suffer similar problems like the sc lite.
Saying the M3 Lite will suffer the same problems (i don't know what they are) as the SC Lite is an unjust comparison. The two work differently in terms of their hardware. (ex: save battery or lack thereof) The M3 miniSD is parallel to the regular SD version. I wouldn't be surprised if this held true for the microSD version.
Yeah they both use very different implementations but the problem is FATlib support on different medias....that's why you see supercard lite owners now bitchin and moaning because the homebrews that worked fine on earlier supercards are not working now.
How can I get FBI without homebrew or flashcart?
Can I get Homebrew/Cfw without a flashcart?

Understanding traceability and the coffee supply chain in Ethiopia has always been challenging, but even more so over the last 10 years with the introduction of the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange for coffee. I think it's easiest to understand it by really getting to know each of the players. Once I did this, it was much easier to understand how they're interconnected.
Small-holder farmers produce a majority of the coffee in Ethiopia on very small plots of land, often called gardens. By themselves, the only thing they can do is dry the cherry (natural process) and sell to local markets for local consumption. They may be able to get a better price by selling fresh cherry to a washing station or cooperative. The local demand for coffee in Ethiopia is pretty high, so selling coffee to a washing station for potential export isn't always a clear advantage. The price paid for fresh cherry is fairly competitive in most zones that are known for quality, like Yirgacheffe, Guji, and Kochere. In these areas, many washing stations will offer a better price for fresh cherry that is evenly picked. In these areas, it is really up to the farmer as to where and how they want to sell their cherry.
Some will do the extra work of picking ripe cherry and bringing it to a washing station that will offer a better price while others will choose to sell their crop as easily and quickly as possible, forgoing a potential better price for faster access to cash. Small-holder farmers are also often referred to as farmers and out-growers.
Some of the coffee in Ethiopia, especially in Kaffa, is forest grown. In these areas, locals can buy permits to pick the coffee and then bring it to a washing station, cooperative, or naturally process it on their own. During my trip, it was expressed to me a few times that what really makes Ethiopian coffee so truly unique is the variety of the coffee. The hundred (maybe thousands) of naturally growing varieties create a flavor profile that is uniquely Ethiopian. So, these wild and old trees do produce a valuable product, hence the allure for people to buy a permit to pick these wild, forest coffees. The wild, forest coffees (as well as those old trees on private farms), will grow quite tall until they eventually get too tall and tip or split. So, it's quite common practice to prune these trees regularly to keep them healthy and viable.

Fresh-picked cherry is delivered to the Dimtu #1 washing station in Hambela, Guji.
Some coffee in Ethiopia is produced on larger privately-owned farms that have their own washing stations. Hambela Estate in Alaka is a good example of this. There, they have a washing station and a large amount of coffee growing on the land. These estates may also buy cherry from surrounding small-holder farmers as well and act very similar to a privately-owned washing station.
Privately owned washing stations (wet mills) are abundant in the best growing regions of Ethiopia. These stations will buy fresh cherry from small-holder and forest pickers in the area and either wash the coffee or put it through the natural process. So, it may be clearer to call these "collection stations," as not all of the coffee is washed. Farmers either bring their cherry to the washing station, or as I've found on my trip, many buying stations have daily routes to pick coffee up directly from farmers to expedite transit times and difficulties. The end product of these stations is dried coffee in parchment or dried cherry. Either of these products still needs to be prepared for export, and therefore require a buyer (exporter) to do so.
Buying of cherry at washing stations is quite a social affair. Neighbors and employees of Dimtu #2 in Hambela, Guji gather as cherry is turned in for sale.

buyers. Continued demand from farmers and the improvement of technology within the ECX have led to much better traceability. This year, coffees sold through the ECX are also now able to be traced back to the specific washing station and can convey specific lot info.
Exporters, often referred to as buyers in Ethiopia, buy coffees from the ECX and prepare them for export. This includes dry milling to remove the parchment or dried cherry, sorting, cleaning, and packaging for transits. Exporters then need to find an importer or entity that wants to buy the green coffee. With the opening of the second window and better traceability through the ECX, many exporters are also starting to buy washing stations.
Farmers can also join together to create a cooperative that acts much like a washing station. The difference is that a cooperative will ideally pay members twice - once when they turn in their cherry and again if/when they make a profit on selling their parchment and/or dried cherry. Cooperatives can also buy cherry from small-holder farmers or wild pickers, but they will not offer the second payment/membership return to them. Cooperatives seem like an obvious win, but what sometimes happens is that cooperative members will often sell their best cherry to a different washing station where they can fetch the most money and only sell a small amount (as little as 30%) to the cooperative in hopes that the cherry bought from small-holders will boost the price. A big reason why this work around often happens is that the second payment back from the cooperative is made quite convoluted by the union system.
Cooperatives are required to be part of a union. The big advantage of this setup is that it allowed for better traceability than the early stages of ECX. The coffee unions act as they exporter for cooperatives and will prepare the coffees for export ("dry mill"). The unions will export the coffee using the cooperative name, giving a decent amount of traceability by doing so. While these unions are run by democratically elected officials, they are often huge entities, and the existence of corruption is all but accepted in Ethiopia. This is particularly interesting in the west, where Technoserve set up a large number of cooperatives. The unions were quite adamant that this coffee still be sold through them, so Technoserve agreed (for many good reasons tied to the need to have a route to sell the coffee for export). While Technoserve was active in the cooperatives, the price being returned to the small cooperatives was phenomenal - farmers were easily earning three times as much for their cherry than in the past. Chiri cooperative, who we sourced coffee from for a couple of years, is a great example of this work. Unfortunately, as soon as the Technoserve project ended (it was always meant to be a temporary bridge to improved systems), the payments back to the farmers greatly plummeted. I heard a report that it was sometimes twelve times less than when Technoserve was active. As a result, a number of the cooperatives are leaving the established union and creating their own. I got to taste coffee from one of these new unions, Katamadura.

Q: How to determine which fonts contain a specific character? Given a specific Unicode character, let's say 嗎, how do I iterate over all fonts installed in the system and list the ones that contain a glyph for this character?

A: You can use the albatross command line tool (https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/albatross/ ; also included in tex distributions like texlive or miktex).
If you run albatross 嗎, you'll get a list of all your fonts which contain the character:

.---.-.|  |  |--.---.-.|  |_.----.-----.-----.-----.
|  _  ||  |  _  |  _  ||   _|   _|  _  |__ --|__ --|
|___._||__|_____|___._||____|__| |_____|_____|_____|

print members

A: The data you're getting from meetup is latin1 encoded (print '\xe7'.decode('latin1') results in 'ç'). I tried your code with member = json.load(object,encoding='latin1') and it worked.
I'd recommend requests though, due to it having a more convenient interface:
import requests

url = "https://api.meetup.com/2/groups?&sign=true&zip=78705&page=1&key=" + key + "&&sign=true"
groupList = requests.get(url).json()["results"]
groupIDs = []

for group in groupList:
    groupIDs.append(group["id"])

    members = []

for id in groupIDs:
    url = "https://api.meetup.com/2/members?&sign=true&group_id=" + str(id) + "&key=" + key
    member = requests.get(url).json()
    members.append(member)

print members

And I second the recommendation not to hide object in your code. Also check out the python style guidelines.

Essity talks in Essential Talks Podcast about the world's first paper towel recycling service
The Podcast takes listeners on a journey through Essity's innovation that contributes to the planet's health.
It's more evident than ever that we are all equally responsible for climate change. Melting glaciers, more droughts and wilder weather have increased this collective awareness. But are we in time to change this big picture?
Fortunately, almost all industries are innovating their process and products to contribute to this extensive mission. One example is Essity which is launching the world's first paper towel recycling service, Tork PaperCircle® (currently available in select EU countries but new markets opening up). The company is living up to its circularity commitment and continues to break barriers to societal well-being.
In Season 2 of its award-winning podcast series, Essential Talks, Essity explores how an environmental mindset is spreading to every corner of the company. Essity defines a new, more sustainable era for health and hygiene product circularity through their smart and inclusive products, improving manufacturing techniques and adopting alternative fibers.
The podcast's Season 2 first episode, Circularity: Zero Waste of Time, invites listeners to think deeply about the "after-use" of hygiene and health products thanks to the Tork PaperCircle cycle – from the factory to the restroom, the restroom to the bin and back to the factory again.
Essential Talks is an award-winning podcast series, which attracted more than 10,000 unique listeners in Season 1, which focused on breaking stigmas in different areas related to health and hygiene.

The Dallas Cowboys Have Clinched a Spot in the 2021 NFL Playoffs. Now What?
by Andrew Kulha twitter | More Articles: NFL
The Dallas Cowboys are officially in the NFL playoffs for the first time in three seasons. They haven't even played a game yet in Week 16, but The Boys have clinched their spot in the dance thanks to the Tennessee Titans beating the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football.
Now all the Cowboys need to figure out is where to send the "thank you" card.
Well, there are a few more things Dallas may want to accomplish before the regular season closes out and the playoffs begin. There are three things, in particular, that should be next up on the docket for the Cowboys.
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys need to tune up on offense

On paper, we're looking at a Dallas offense that is No. 2 overall, only behind the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys put up 28.6 points per game, which is second behind Tampa's 29.3. They also lead the league in yards per game with 403.3 and total yards accumulated on offense with 5,646.
That doesn't sound like an offense that needs work, does it?
On paper, the Cowboys are elite. If you actually watch the games, though, you'd know that Dallas has some things to shore up before the playoffs begin.
First and foremost is quarterback Dak Prescott, who has thrown five touchdowns in the past five games, but also five interceptions. That's good enough to get by the Saints, Washington, and the Giants, but those three teams have a combined record of 17-25.
A 1-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio is not going to cut it against the Packers, Buccaneers, and Rams.
The Cowboys have also had some issues on third down, and yes, a lot of that falls on Prescott and his arm.
Even during this three-game win streak, Dallas has gone 2-of-13 on third down against the Saints, 7-of-18 against Washington, and 8-of-14 against the Giants. The Cowboys have an overall third-down percentage of 41.27% this season, which is in the top half of the league. With that said, that percentage drops down to 37.78% over the last three games, and that's near the bottom of the league.
That needs to be sorted out between Week 16 and the playoffs.
The Cowboys need to get and stay healthy

The NFL's recent COVID-19 outbreak notwithstanding, health has been an issue all season long for the Cowboys. Just looking at the injury report for Week 16's matchup with Washington. There are at least two notable players who Dallas would love to get to full strength by the time the playoffs start.
The first is Ezekiel Elliott, who has been playing through a knee injury much of the season. Rest aside, there may not be much Elliott can do in-season to improve his condition, but he has been playing better as of late and looking a bit more limber. If the Cowboys can wrap up the NFC East quickly and perhaps even get Zeke some rest or at least a lightened load over the next few weeks, one can only imagine how that would impact his explosiveness in a playoff game for the better.
There's also eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith to consider at left tackle. He's missed multiple games this season with an ankle injury and was most recently listed as "questionable" on the injury report for the upcoming clash against Washington. The Cowboys probably won't need him to beat Washington, but they'll undoubtedly want him as close to 100% as possible while facing some of the top pass rushers in the NFC come playoff time.
Elliott and Smith are two prominent examples, but health, or lack thereof, at this time of the season is oftentimes the difference between making a run to the playoffs and falling short.
While Dallas undoubtedly wants to keep the pedal to the metal to finish out the regular season, the bigger picture also needs to stay in focus.
The Cowboys need to make a statement

— Sunday Night Football on NBC (@SNFonNBC) December 24, 2021
Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons Delivers Chilling Premonition: 'We're a Lion Pack Now. Everybody's Got to Get a Piece of the Gazelle'
Speaking of "pedal to the metal," the Cowboys have an opportunity to enter the playoffs as one of the hottest teams, not just in the NFC, but in all of the NFL.
The three-game win streak is excellent, but the Cowboys have a legitimate shot to double that number before the regular season is up.
Dallas beat Washington two weekends ago on the road. Washington has now lost two straight, and it's not hard to imagine the Cowboys beating the WFT at home on Sunday Night Football.
The Week 17 clash with the Cardinals could end up being a really nice playoff preview for Dallas, but this is not the same Arizona team that just recently held the top spot in the NFC. At the time of this writing, the Cardinals have lost two straight games, including a huge upset at the hands of the Detroit Lions. Arizona faces a strong Indianapolis team in Week 16, so there's a decent chance the Cardinals head to Dallas on a three-game skid and completely devoid of confidence.
Last but not least for the Cowboys are the Eagles. And sure, you can never count out an NFC East rival, especially one that may have the potential to play spoiler for Dallas. With that said, the Cowboys beat the Eagles, 41-21, in Week 3. If the Cowboys continue rolling, it's hard to predict an outcome that doesn't look similar.
If Dallas can enter the playoffs at 13-4 and on a six-game heater, that would be quite the statement for a franchise that many people think is "all bark and no bite." It may even be enough to get Dallas the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
So yes, the playoffs are clinched. That's a certainty for the Cowboys. With that said, there's still a lot on the table and tons left to do as the regular season comes to a close.

'General Hospital' Heading to Primetime?
Faced with losing its timeslot this September, could ABC's 'General Hospital' find life as primetime series? TV Guide reports it could be a possibility.
TV Guide's Stephen Battaglio reports a possible scenario in which ABC's only remaining soap opera could be saved post-Katie Couric.
According to the Battaglio, one idea is to have GH continue "as a short-run prime-time summer series, similar to Spanish-language networks' telenovelas." He goes on to say a primetime version of GH would be inexpensive compared to other primetime series.
If true, this makes an interesting scenario for GH. Personally I'd prefer a cable-style approach ala ABC Family — a season of 26 episodes, split into two "mini" seasons. The switch from daily to weekly might be an adjustment at first, but overall could be what is needed to revamp a fledgling genre.
Interesting note: A primetime version of GH, if it were to retain (and hopefully build) its daytime audience, would perform on-par with some of The CW's highest rated programming. If last week's ratings were any indication, General Hospital would be the second-highest rated show on the network.The January 12 airing of The Vampire Diaries drew 2.86 million total viewers (1.2 demo n W18-49) vs. General Hospital's 2.29 total million viewers (.9 demo W18-49) for the week of January 2-6.
Would you watch a primetime version of GH?
I totally agree with you. I do not watch ABC daytime tv except for the soaps. I watch some of the night time dramas like Greys Anatomy, Private Practice and Revenge so taking GH, OLTL and AMC to prime time on another network would only enhance the other network's ratings but ABC should consider this. It is obviously too late but , , , well now they DO have Katie, The Chew and The Revolution right.
I just want to see GH on air, but would rather they just left it alone! If it ain't broke don't fix it…and as far as I'm concerned- IT AIN'T BROKE!
Ps- I agree with pretty much everyone else, dump the stupid self-help/cooking/talk shows and let us have our soaps.
i want one life to live back!!!.and i would like it to stay in the daytime..
I would prefer to watch it five days a week like I do now, I prefer to watch AMC and OLTL five days a week to as I have for over thirty years!!
I think all the ABC soaps would flourish in primetime. There is a huge fan base that has definitely been kicked to the curb, with such varying demographics that no other genre can ever compete with. And you have a loyal group of actors that do not play this "diva" garbage of feeling like they ARE the show so they demand pay raises to be recognized for it. Heck, how many years did our beloved actors agree to pay cuts just to keep the shows on the air, just to get kicked in the gut later by watching AMC and OLTL get canceled anyway?
I would vote for OLTL to be on anorher Network like Bravo for in my opinion, ABC can only harm our favorite soap, but if Primetime is the only way to go, then I say that it is better then nothing.
I am a huge fan of Katie Couric, however that being said, IF General Hospital is taken off the air in order for her show to take the time slot, I will never watch Katie. I have watched GH from the very first show and would absolutely hate it being removed.
Yes provided they kept General Hospital I would watch it at midnite if that is what it takes. I don't see any purpose in taking four from OLTL to GH just to have it cancelled too. I vote for one hour of prime time!
As a business major and a life long soap fan, I have been suggesting this to the network for years! New primetime shows are put on with zero fans starting out; GH, OLTL, AMC, and PC, just the ABC soaps, easily have 5 million viewers starting out, plus they would gain more and more. Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest and such did great in no time on prime time, for many years, and they are bringing Dallas back. My husband and I are always discussing how they could have a whole week to do OLTL or GH even better, with far less overhead and a much smaller budget! It could air 1-2 hours one night a week, maybe even two. This would be a win/win! Many fans watch soaps at night anyway, either from taping them, or Soapnet, which ends 3/23/12. I can honestly say the best and brightest actors from soaps are consistently better actors than the best in primetime, plus they are skilled in doing lots of scenes to air 5 days a week in much less time than primetime shows or movies, or even feature films. Daytime's loss can easily be primetime's gain! Long live General Hospital, whatever it takes!
Leave our soaps alone. It is love in the afternoon. ABC has screwed with the soap fans long enough. No one wants to watch another talk show. Give us a break. What a mess! Put Katie on at night. I have changed all my abc shows to watching other shows. You take gh and that will be it for me. Done with the rat!!!!
I would watch it, But I have a better idea, BUT KATIE ON PRIMETIME !!!!
I will watch GH in any form, any time, just please keep this institution on the air!
I'll be open to watch it. Why can't AMC and OLTL do the same?
Any changes doesn't guarantee the GH actors will continue with the show, especially if their hours are cut tremendously.
I would watch a primetime GH, but since OLTL did even better in the ratings, then both shows should be on Primetime. It would be very wise for another network such as CW, Bravo, Discovery, etc. to license or buy OLTL and AMC. If ABC does not want OLTL then give the rights back to Agnes Nixon or someone of her choice and sell or license (I don't know the correct term) to an entity that does want it.
I want to continue to watch General Hospital in the daytime.
I would definitely watch a prime time GH. I think it would be a great way to save $ and to bring in a larger audience.
Honestly, I think all daytime soaps should be scaled back and aired as prime time summer serials. This is a smart move if audiences warm up to it, and could lead to less restrictions on content and less writer burnout.


Moving is considered as an irksome process. However, the process of moving can be made easy by knowing about your movers. It is also important to know the agency or the person you are working with to avoid chances of dealing with a fraud.
How to know whom you are dealing with?
Albeit it is really interesting to enjoy a luxurious shifting, you have to be careful about the movers who have not registered themselves with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Admission (FMCSA) or do not have a USDOT number. FMCSA deals with the transport and communication of large trucks and buses whereas USDOT numbers are required by the vehicles working in the commercial transport interest.
It is really important to see the ratings and reviews about the movers before you finalize them. Black Tie has proved to be the most trusted brand of local mover's all over the USA. They have served their customers to their satisfaction and also promise to do so in future.
As per the process the movers should come to determine the size of your move and inform you the cost of the total move, but if this is not the case and you don't get the estimates or receive something unusual, you probably have a scammer with you.
An important fact to identify the fraud is their demand for down payment. If the demand exceeds more than 20% of the total cost, it's better to turn down the deal.
These are some things that most people ignore but they shouldn't be. A legitimate company will never have an unmarked vehicle. Moreover, the movers will have all the information about your move beforehand and they will not question you about it.
No one can alert you more than yourself. Don't ignore the things happening in your surroundings and if you find something suspicious do not hesitate to call for help.

Q: How to Revert database to last modified from recent Restore? me and my fried were developing a project in separate system but created database in same name, Today i restored my database in my friend's machine accidentally.
Is there any way to roll back the database in SQL-Server, which means i want to get database that i  restore before.

A: No.
This is actually a very good event, take this as an opportunity to stop modifying and copying the database files. As developers your deliverable is source code, including the source code code for database scripts to deploy and upgrade the database. Have a look at Migrations for an elegant approach. Use Visual Studio Database Projects. Or roll your own. Just never, ever, touch the database from the object explorer.
BTW, The RESTORE command blocks restoring a database from overwriting a different database. You must had explicitly overwritten the blocking.

Wastewater must be treated to remove pollutants before being released back into the environment. DEQ oversees the planning, design, and operation of wastewater collection and treatment systems in order to protect public health and the environment.
Plans and Specs
Plans and specifications must be reviewed and approved by DEQ prior to the construction, alteration, or expansion of industrial and municipal wastewater systems.
Contact your regional DEQ office for instruction on how to submit plans and specifications.
System Classifications
A wastewater system is any publicly or privately owned collection or treatment system that generates, collects, treats, or disposes of 2,500 gallons or more of wastewater per day (IDAPA 58.01.16.6.) Systems that meet this definition are required to comply with "Idaho's Wastewater Rules" (IDAPA 58.01.16) and the "Rules of the Board of Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals" (IDAPA 24.05.01).
Public wastewater systems are classified based on indicators of potential health risk, (e.g., the system's complexity, volume, variability in raw waste for treatment systems, etc.), type (e.g., treatment or collection), and class (e.g., Very Small to Class I, II, III, or IV).
Public wastewater systems must be staffed by licensed operators based on the system classification. Exceptions to the operator licensure requirements are non-pressurized drainfield and associated septic tank systems and Class A recycled water effluent distribution systems. To determine the classification, use the classification worksheet and submit it to DEQ.
Wastewater Treatment System Classification Worksheet
Wastewater Collection System Classification Worksheet
The system owner must submit changes in ownership or contact information to DEQ using the Owner Information Form. They must also report any changes to the responsible charge operator or substitute responsible charge operator to DEQ within 10 days using the Public Wastewater System Operator Licensure Record Form.
DEQ updates a list of wastewater treatment and collection systems that have submitted classification worksheets and received verification of the official system classification.

The Board of Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals oversees operator licensing in Idaho, including establishing requirements for operator licenses, determining education and continuing education requirements, setting fees, evaluating applications, and determining whether licenses should be issued.
The board works with the Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses (DOPL) to review and recommend applications, administer examinations, collect fees, and issue operator licenses. For more information, visit the DOPL website.
To comply with DOLP training and licensing requirements, DEQ offers a variety of wastewater operator training opportunities and resources.

Wastewater Supervisor Requirement – Idaho's "Wastewater Rules" (IDAPA 58.01.16) require that all non-exempt public wastewater treatment and collection systems have a responsible charge operator and a substitute responsible charge operator. Responsible charge refers to the employee responsible for on-site supervision and operations. Refer to the "Rules of the Board of Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals " for more information.
The responsible charge operator and substitute responsible charge operator must be two different people, and the responsible charge operator must hold two certificates for wastewater treatment and collection except for very small wastewater systems (VSWWS). DEQ is responsible for ensuring that wastewater systems comply with this requirement.
Operators must be licensed at a type and class equal to or greater than the system's classification. Licensure class is based on the type and class of the wastewater system. The table below lists the licenses required for various types and classes of wastewater systems operators.

Lagoons
Wastewater lagoons can be designed to treat, retain, and/or dispose of wastewater and must meet the requirements of the "Wastewater Rules" (IDAPA 58.01.16). In most instances, wastewater lagoons are required to be seepage tested periodically.
IDAPA 58.01.16 sets operational standards for allowable seepage and requires municipal wastewater lagoons to meet facility-specific seepage rates corresponding to the date of construction or major modification. For certain industrial facilities, seepage testing may also be required by the permit. Lagoons should be seepage tested after construction and every 10 years after the initial testing.
Testing Procedures and Data Analysis – Site conditions need to be evaluated, and testing procedures that demonstrate compliance with the rule and/or permit must be submitted to DEQ for review and approval before conducting the required seepage testing. Data of sufficient quality and quantity are required for a valid seepage test. Additionally, seepage testers should evaluate whether a sufficient number of calculated seepage rates exist to validate a compliance determination and to show data completeness through a statistical means that creates a defensible and objective number of seepage testing days needed for a complete dataset.
DEQ employs the statistical seepage test data analysis methods outlined in the Wastewater Lagoon Seepage Test Statistical Review, also known as the Myers technical paper, to evaluate seepage test data submitted for compliance determinations. DEQ recommends that facilities become familiar with the methods that will be used in DEQ seepage test report reviews.
Visual Sample Plan (VSP) software – VSP was developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory under the auspices of the US Department of Energy. VSP is designed for the nonstatistician to support multiple sampling objectives and ensure the right type, quality, and quantity of data are gathered to support decisions.
DEQ recommends using the VSP tool along with the other assessment metrics outlined in the Myers technical paper, to determine when sufficient data have been collected to validate calculated seepage rates for each lagoon. The VSP software generates a discomfort curve (i.e., a type of statistical power curve) to incorporate a fixed regulatory limit, a calculated average seepage rate, and the variability around the seepage rate to create a defensible and objective number of seepage testing days needed to generate a complete dataset.
Calculations and Assessment Matrix – DEQ held a statistical review workshop for evaluating lagoon seepage rates to discuss and update seepage testing spreadsheets and assessment metrics and spreadsheets to better accommodate the statistical recommendations from the Myers technical. DEQ will accept data input/calculations at 24-hour intervals as outlined in the revised calculations spreadsheet:
Seepage Test Spreadsheet for Electronic Method
Intermittent data should still be collected and submitted for evaluation to explain the behavior of the lagoon and evaporation pan during each test. The Meyers technical paper recommends that the interval around the datum used to calculate the lagoon and evaporation pan elevations be limited to five minutes (before and after the reading time) or less. DEQ is rewriting the April 2009 Guidance for Evaluating Wastewater Lagoon Seepage Rates to accommodate the Myers technical paper. The current guidance used in conjunction with the Myers technical paper recommendations for assessment metrics should assist facilities in reviewing and validating seepage data for compliance determinations.

Some dare call it anti-Semitism
Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar, with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, right, speaks about the party's legislative priorities when Democrats assume the majority in the 116th Congress in January, during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, on Nov. 30, 2018.

Jeffrey Salkin
(RNS) — "Never call someone an anti-Semite."
That was one of the most important lessons that I learned from Abe Foxman when I worked for the Anti-Defamation League.
Abe was very clear. Use verbs, not adjectives or nouns.
Describe actions as anti-Semitic, or as contributing to anti-Semitism.
Do not describe someone as being an anti-Semite, or as being anti-Semitic.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, the newly elected Minnesota congresswoman, has said that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has paid politicians to be pro-Israel.
"It's all about the Benjamins baby," she tweeted.
No, she wasn't talking about Benjamin Netanyahu. She was talking about Benjamins — as in pictures of Benjamin Franklins — as in $100 bills.
As in money.
And, who provided the Benjamins? "AIPAC!" she tweeted.
Just in case you are having a rough time connecting the dots, here goes.
Omar accused the Jews of buying support for Israel — and worse, of controlling Congress with their money.
Whether or not Omar is anti-Semitic, the comment is utterly anti-Semitic.
As was her 2012 comment that "Israel has hypnotized the world." She recently apologized for that statement, claiming that she had not understood its implications.
Guess what, Omar?
Apology not accepted.
This is pure, unadulterated, classic anti-Semitism.
It is one of the oldest and most hateful anti-Semitic themes that history has offered us — the myth of Jewish control, especially financial control. It is the myth of Jewish conspiracies. It is the myth of the Rothschilds and George Soros manipulating the world from behind the scenes. It is the myth of the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Henry Ford published that infamous forgery — a piece of Dearborn, Mich., history that its current mayor, John O'Reilly, does not want people to remember.
Frankly, I am surprised that Omar did not dig up an old graphic of the Jews as an octopus with their tentacles around the world. It would have suited her tweet perfectly fine.
It is not only anti-Semitic. It is a lie.

AIPAC does not pay American politicians to support Israel. AIPAC does not make campaign contributions. AIPAC does not endorse candidates.
It has one mission: to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Israel — and to make sure that such support is bipartisan.
As my friend and colleague Rabbi David Jay Kaufman wrote in a blog post for We Are For Israel:
People are certainly welcome to disagree with the positions taken and advocated by AIPAC and its supporters, of whose number I am one, but supporters of AIPAC don't take those positions because someone hypnotized them or paid them off. They take those positions because they believe them to be right, just like she believes her bigoted statements to be right.
Omar refuses to understand some very key, basic truths.
To quote my colleague and friend Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner, who wrote on Facebook:
The $3.5B aid package that the United States committed to Israel for the next 9 years provides jobs in the United States. In fact, $3 Billion of that annual package is used for jobs and companies INSIDE the United States. Does Omar want to cancel that package and create that ripple of unemployment and negate gains for American companies like Caterpillar and Lockheed Martin and Intel?
Does Congresswoman Omar know that, unlike Germany or Japan, Israel's military and intelligence partnership allows the United States to have an ally in a region where, as a result, the U.S. does not need to have a physical military base? Does Congresswoman Omar know how many billions of dollars that saves the United States per year?
Does Omar know that Israel has been a consistent ally in the fight against terror and in creating a democratic center with shared western values in the Middle East? What type of instability what America find itself within were Israel to not exist, God forbid?
Is Omar blind to the technology she wants to boycott and the medical advances that Israel has achieved and shared with its closest friend, the United States? Does she refuse to use Waze? Text message? A computer with an Intel processor? Cancer drugs or a Z-Pak?
Look, my Democratic friends: We got ourselves a problem here.
There are now three new members of Congress whose views are, to varying degrees, critical of Israel or anti-Israel — or who show affinity with those who are not friendly to Israel and Jews.
I am referring to Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Be careful. If you hate Muslims, or Islam; if you think that Muslims have no right to hold electoral office, let me be clear.
I do not support your hatred for Islam.
Quite the opposite.
I want American Jews and American Muslims to learn from and with each other.
But, if American Jews perceive that the Democratic Party is moving into anti-Israel positions, they will be faced with a major quandary.
Do we continue to support that party, as we have historically done — or do we leave?
And, if we leave, where do we go?
You are free to say: "Jeff, cool your jets. We are talking about three congresswomen — three! What kind of threat do you think they really pose?"
We can live with three sharp critics of Israel. Perhaps they will learn. Perhaps they will be exposed to some different realities. Perhaps they will change.
But even if they don't change, we can live with three critics.
But we need to hear the larger Democratic Party speaking out against these slurs. That is key.
Because, as the Talmud has taught: "Silence is akin to agreement."
Luckily, several members of Congress, including Nancy Pelosi, have already sharply criticized Omar, and Omar has issued an apology.
It's a start. Only time will prove her sincerity.
We can only hope.

Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin is the spiritual leader of Temple Solel in Hollywood, Fla., and the author of numerous books on Jewish spirituality and ethics, published by Jewish Lights Publishing and Jewish Publication Society.
Phi Lemon says:
Tragically for the people, the leadership of the sons of Ishmael sided with the Nazis. But unlike the Nazis who conceded defeat, and rejected their hate-fueled philosophy, the Ishmaelite leaders have never stopped hating and fighting Israel. While Israel repeatedly offers peace, Islamist leaders perpetuate war.
Ishmaelite leaders (not so much the people) say today the same they said 3000 years ago—Then: "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more" Psalm 83 And now: "And kill them wherever you find them" Quran 2:191
Another opportunity to fracture farther. Or another opportunity to reconcile and repair. Thanks to Chelsea Clinton and Meghan McCain for the example of the later.
So according to Mr. Salkin, if you're against AIPAC or dare to criticize it for any reason, you're automatically antisemitic. Got it. Because AIPAC = Israel = Jewish. Tell that to non-Jewish people living in Israel, or even to Jewish ones living here or abroad who may have a difference of opinion with AIPAC's political agenda.
floydlee says:
Vote for GOP instead of BDS, folks.
Somehow the unity of Jews for the Democratic Party predicted by the author for 2019 looks less certain.
rockchalkwombat says:
Representative Omar is one person espousing one fringe position that isn't likely to gain much attention, let alone support, in either the House or the public conversation. Whether or not she's an antisemite (and I suspect she is) isn't as important as whether or not she's persuasive, which she isn't.
There are a lot of bigots out there and, apparently, no shortage of them in Congress.
Omar the Muslim worships the black stone Satan fooled Muhd into believing was a god called 'allie akbar.'
Black stones can't do anything but just sit there.
muslims is too dumb to understand that as most of them are inbred to imbecility.
All Muslims will be slaughtered when Jesus comes to slaughter all fools who worship stone idols.
Jim Johnson says:
I don't think BDS will make the party platform.
Susan Humphreys says:
There is plenty of bigotry on both sides as one can see from some of the comments. Someone needs to talk privately with her about her remarks. Maybe, she can learn to be more careful with her words. Deborah Lipstadt just published her book "Antisemitism Here and Now". Many people fall into what she calls the "clueless" category and don't realize how offensive their remarks are. I advise everyone to read this book.
Abortion does…
I think the good congresswoman knows exactly what she is saying; only now, she's not saying it just to her circle of supporters.
Yes, it's core.
The most important issue, of course, is whether her party censures her or not.
No, the Democratic Party needs to publicly disown her comments and make it clear that while it tolerates calling people "Nazis", this a line it won't cross.
After they got done doing that, they need to put their anti-Catholics to bed.
I suspect she knew what she was saying but didn't realize how others would take her words! AND I doubt the reality of the"big stage" that she now occupies has set in.
The House Democratic leadership has released a statement condemning her comment. That's more than you typically see from the other side of the aisle when their members stick their feet in their mouths.
Mglass says:
And that's offensive, too.
Mainstream Democrsts did cross the line when they initially embraced the Women's March then backed off because of the antisemitic claims against the group. These are not just BDS supporters but many take up the pro-Palestinian assertion that Israel has no right to exist.
They have the right to hold these views but the Republicans are going to take advantage of it.
AJ Crisp says:
Therein lies the future.
When you write "They have the right to hold these views …", do you mean as American citizens or as Democrats?
The Democrats have been pretty firm on the issues that matter to them that as a Democrat you don't have a right to certain views.
If you can point me to a comparable statement: anti-semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-something – on the other side of the aisle I'll take a hard look at how they handled it.
Well that is all well and good. However it is blatant hypocrisy and hypocritical of people to just brush her comment aside when if it was said by someone the left does not like there would be outrage and calls for her to resign. Why is that?
Why is she not labeled racist, alt-left, a hater? It is because her constituents really don't care if she said it. After all she just made a rookie mistake. Or, does she really harbor such views towards Israel and Jewish citizens of the US. She did however get a rebuke from some democrats such a Pelosi, but I'll bet my last dollar it was less about the content and more about the fact that there are some on the left who rightfully will not tolerate anti-Semitic remarks and they don't want to alienate any of their base with an election coming up. You know I used to vote down the line democrat, until the lunatic fringe started taking over. She needs to be taken to task for her comment, and watched closely to see if these views resurface either by verbal comment or by political means.
I was referring to the two Muslim congresswomen and their constituents.
Yes, I was glad to see Chelsea ( I did not see McCains remarks) speak out about this. She has spoken out when the rabid rabble have done something totally outlandish.
Until the left disavows its own radicals and separates from their asinine and dangerous platform, I will be voting Republican.
I was referring only to the two Muslim Democratic representatives.
Their constituents can think anything they want as long as they don't advocate the violent overthrow of the government or go around blowing up synagogues.
The House GOP leadership was awfully slow to condemn Iowa representative Steve King, even though his history of racist remarks was known for years. But to their credit, they finally did strip him of his committee assignments.
I'll say this. Both parties are reluctant to critique their own and quick to exploit any and every ill advised comment from any member of the other party. It's part of the dysfunction in Washington.
It is part of the party system.
I don't believe King ever argued for the extinguishment of a country.
Seems to me she is being taken to task. When and if that will blow over remains to be seen.
Part of the problem with the House of Representatives is that candidates don't have to run statewide so they don't have to appeal to a wide variety of perspectives. They only have to appeal to relatively small districts that tend to be politically homogeneous. So you have a lot of extremist representatives on both the right and the left who don't have to cooperate with each other to get reelected. They just have to keep throwing raw meat to their base.
'Til Tuesday says:
The charge of "anti-Semitism" is the new "McCarthyism". If someone says anything critical of the Israeli government or AIPAC they're labeled as "anti-Semitic". Anyone who dares to support BDS is labeled as "anti-Semitic".
Like I said: 'muslims is too dumb to understand that as most of them are inbred to imbecility.'
Obviously my comment was above your understanding?
I understand full well your words. All you have done is to double down on making offensive comments. Shame on you!
are you denying Muslim inbreeding – and seeing my describing its effects as offensive?
Using deliberately inflammatory language turns a social problem into a weapon to attack Muslims. Yes, marrying cousins does risk a greater incidence of birth defects, but Muslims aren't the only ones who marry their cousins.
What we need is more public awareness about the risks of cousin marriage, not a display of anti-Muslim bigotry.
you snowflakes just hate truth don't you!
I'm not anti-Muslim even if you snowflakes see any mention of truth as bigotry.
We need more public awaareness of the rotten secrets of Islam.
I reckon it's pretty sick, Rose, that you resorted to abuse. The problem that you mention is cousin marriage, which increases the risk of genetic defects. Cousin marriage is a social issue, not just a Muslim issue.
J.C. Samuelson says:
AIPAC only succeeds inasmuch as support for Israel remains popular and strategically advantageous. American Christians, especially those of the Evangelical persuasion, tend to regard Israel as an ideological ally and the Jewish people as crucial players in a cosmic drama yet to reach its climax. Simply put, politicians can afford to support pro-Israel policies because the voters do. Meanwhile, it serves American interests in the Middle East to support Israel. Being the only stable – and arguably militaristic – democracy in the region makes Israel a natural strategic ally.
Until and unless voter support diminishes or our interests in the Middle East change significantly, no amount of tweeting by junior representatives is going to move the needle in terms of AIPAC's degree of influence or generic American attitudes toward Israel. It does, however, get attention and provides fodder her opposition can use to galvanize their base. Pelosi & company understand all this, so a rebuke was to be expected.
Dennis Kelley says:
i think rep. Omar's comments have been purposefully inflated in order to stem the influence of the new face of the US Congress. AIPAC has in fact cynically courted influential politicians who support Israel as a religious ideal associated with the Christian apocalyptic fantasy, one in which Judaism is destroyed, mind you, as a way to garner support for the national leadership of the NATION of Israel that deserves, like all nations, to be scrutinized for it's behavior toward the people within its borders.
To be brief she's clueless.
Israel is not arguably militaristic, it is militaristic.
It has to be.
The charge of "anti-Semitism" is the new "McCarthyism" only if the allegations are false.
BDS is probably prima facie anti-semitic given Israel's existential circumstances.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has not "cynically courted influential politicians". It openly courts influential politicians because it is a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies.
That's what lobbying groups do – lobby.
Race issues no longer have as much of a clout as religious issues. What we see are Judaism, Islam, Protestantism, Catholics and
Atheists. Each group has their own sphere of power.
Byron Rempel-Burkholder says:
People have a right to name the immense power of lobby groups, whether big oil, NRA, or AIPAC. Omar was not criticizing Jews as a people; she was focusing on the Israel lobby, to which political parties are quite beholden, stifling any debate about Israeli policies, and falsely labeling any criticism of Israel as inherently anti-Semitic. Her choice of words may not have been wise, true. But I find your article, with all its bluster and maybe a hint of Islamophobia, sheds very little light on what was really going on–which was a minority voice (woman, non-white, Muslim) speaking truth to power. We dismiss such voices at our peril, and to silence them is to threaten democracy.

I was fortunate that I came from a family of readers. Everyone read and the love of it was instilled in me very early. I wish the same could be said for all of my students, and because it isn't a priority in every home, I make sure to make it is a priority for the 7 hours they are with me Monday through Friday.
We talk about books and immerse ourselves in literacy building activities all day long. We compare books and authors. We compare writing styles and illustrations. We do author studies and we use mentor texts in our Writer's Workshop time. I create books for my students in iBooks Author and in Book Creator. I put them on their iPads and they have "just right" books at their fingertips all the time. So, it isn't surprising to me that my students are eager to make their own books.
Our favorite app for student-created books is Book Creator. I've written about my ongoing love affair with the Book Creator app many times, and now, you have the ability to draw within the app itself. After introducing my students to this versatile app, I was immediately asked if they could make a book. Many work on them during their free choice time. At this point, they are fairly short books. Here are a few screen shots from one of the first books a student created.
Because he recorded his voice reading the book, I can't upload the file. This book was 5 pages, including the ever popular "The End" page. He worked every free chance he had over a couple of days to complete it. Because we use Showbie, I can upload his book to the shared folder and all of the other students can download his book and have it on their bookshelves. This is a great way for students to share their work with their peers.
I love the enthusiasm and creativity of these children. I love how their excitement over creating a book is so genuine. I love how their eyes widened and they bubbled over with excitement when they saw the Book Creator app and what it could do.
Giving children choice in how they demonstrate their learning is a mainstay in our classroom. My students take charge of their learning through the use of these creation apps. They think nothing of using multiple apps to create a final product. They create and combine on their own with confidence. They are able to upload their final work to Showbie independently. They are proud of their work and are eager to share.
As a parent and as a teacher, I want my children and my students to feel the joy of being a reader. By bringing my own love of reading to the classroom, my students are discovering they are able to create their own books, make their own art, and share the joy with others as well.

Masaaki Hatsumi Visit
Apr 23, 2006 Categories : Uncategorized Author: Stephen Hayes 3 comments
Rumiko and I rode the trains to Noda City for training at Masaaki Hatsumi's Bujinkan Hombu dojo on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It was a nostalgic feeling to walk the streets of Noda once again, and I was amazed at how much the small industrial city has not changed in the 30 years I have been coming here. Elsewhere in Japan, everything seems to be modernizing at a faster than rapid pace, the old and worn being replaced with new and modern in a way that outclasses even America.
On the other hand, the training hall experience was something totally different from what I had known in the 1970s and 1980s when I was training as an apprentice with Hatsumi Sensei. When I left Japan to return to American residency in the early 1980s, a typical training class was about 12 people, with 18 at most. Once my books and magazine articles about Hatsumi Sensei's art had captivated the martial arts world's imagination by the mid-1980s, foreign students began pouring into Japan seeking the experience I had found.
On this rainy Sunday in April, the small Hombu Dojo building of Masaaki Hatsumi was more than packed with easily 60 to 70 people from all over the globe. Of course this kind of crowd makes real training impossible for the students who work to imitate Hatsumi Sensei in the shoulder-to-shoulder and butt-to-butt crowd, but amazingly enough, no one seems to complain. Indeed, the real focus and seemingly the whole point of the 2 hours in the Hombu seems to be watching Hatsumi Sensei perform.
Instruction consisted of Masaaki Hatsumi creating technique after technique on the fly, with the crowd of students looking on from tightly packed rings around the center of the dojo. Sometimes Hatsumi Sensei would explain what he was doing, as though the students would be able to discern the details after only one quick demonstration. Other times, Hatsumi Sensei would clearly avoid the real key to what he had done, and explain at great detail some minor point that may or may not have had any real effect on the technique's outcome. I watched carefully to see if the students could tell which was the key advice and which was the decoy tossed out to confuse or distract them. After several minutes of creative demonstration, Hatsumi Sensei would call out the command, "Play", and the students would dutifully try to imitate what the headmaster had done.
I used to think that this form of tricky teaching was something unique to Hatsumi Sensei, something only he did as a way of seeing which students were the sharp ones and which were the dull. Actually, it turns out to be very much a Japanese cultural norm in closely-held traditional technique systems handed down from master to student. Isshisoden – transmission from one master to one true student – is an undeniable Japanese cultural artifact, wherein one student sharp enough to perceive and steal away the master's secrets gets the goods, and all of the rest are relegated to getting whatever small benefit they might while serving as training dummies and bill-payers to facilitate the exclusive transmission process. It is obviously up to Masaaki Hatsumi as the headmaster of his nine ryu-ha to pick the most appropriate way of handing on his legacy. It is important to note, however, why I needed to change the teaching method I experienced in Japan if our To-Shin Do were to become a useful endeavor in the lives of our Western students.
A few Japanese students were in attendance, but the vast majority of people training in the Bujinkan Hombu these days are foreigners in Japan. I asked my friend Toshiro Nagato, with whom I used to co-teach ninja taijutsu at the Minato-ku Sports Center in Tokyo in the late 1970s, where all the Japanese were. He smiled and said that the plan was to have more Japanese from now on, now that the huge number of foreigners had made the training look more attractive or valuable to the Japanese. I smiled back in response to this same line that I have heard for so many years, and commented that with Hatsumi Sensei's emphasis on free creative movement and seeming disdain for rigid formal technique with clearly defined forms, many (most?) Japanese would be uncomfortable in such a training environment. Nagato-san agreed unhesitatingly, acknowledging the key reason why so few Japanese can identify with Hatsumi Sensei's approach.
Masaaki Hatsumi's techniques for the day were based on working with skillful timing and body placement in a confusing relationship with what an attacker might expect. Effortless, even seemingly moving in slow motion, Hatsumi Sensei more allowed his attackers to find themselves in ineffectual positions than made them fail. As always, he constantly smiled and laughed all through his instruction demonstrations, and seemed to be enjoying what he was doing. He would call out a person to be his uke, throw them around and tie them up, and then command the audience to give it a try for a minute or two before taking center stage again. He did not interact or work with students at all during the momentary "play" sessions. It was up to the students to get it themselves. Standing at the edge of the crowd as the students struggled to duplicate his unique movements, Hatsumi Sensei reminded Rumiko and me of how he has never claimed to enjoy teaching, and much prefers performing. Like a rock star on stage before a crowd of adoring fans, he seems very much in his element now.
At the end of the class, several participants were given the sword test for 5th Degree Bujinkan rank. The Bujinkan is so big now that of course Sensei himself does not know the students who now come to Japan for their 5th Degree, so the test is no longer a matter of verifying connection with Hatsumi Sensei as it once was explained to me in the 1970s. Nonetheless, I was a bit surprised (well, OK, I'd heard the rumors…) to see that Hatsumi Sensei no longer administers the test himself, and instead has senior students – Japanese and foreigners alike – swing the sword down at the waiting heads where he once was the sole administrator. To me, this was a major significant change in program and procedure, but after all the years and all the changes, I have become more and more used to the admonition, Ban-pen Fu-kyo – "After ten thousand changes, no surprise."
After training, Hatsumi Sensei invited Rumiko and me to lunch with him and Toshiro Nagato and Isamu Shiraishi. Hatsumi Sensei spoke of his vision of where he is now in his life of 75 years so far. Sensei gave Rumiko and me some suggestions for our own training and teaching work in the West, to be put into motion and slowly allowed to become evident over time. Stay tuned to our programs, DVDs, and new books to see Hatsumi Sensei's advice in action.

Hi, Stephen –
Found it very interesting that Nagato had met/trained Michael Echanis in judo while he (Nagato) was living/teaching in Ontario, Oregon.

Чермен Урузбекович Дзанагов (1920—2015) — советский осетинский и российский скульптор. Народный художник РСФСР (1982).

Биография
Родился в 1920 году в ауле Джимара в Даргавском ущелье. В 1923 году семья Дзанаговых переехала в равнинное село Фарн. После окончания школы поступил в Одесское художественное училище имени М. Б. Грекова, которое окончил в 1940 году. В октябре был призван в Красную Армию. В годы Великой Отечественной войны сержант Дзанагов воевал в составе Юго-Западного, Центрального, 2-го Украинского, 1-го Белорусского фронтов..

Творческую деятельность начал в послевоенные годы. Молодой художник-скульптор из товарищества художников Осетии города Орджоникидзе (теперь г.

Из отзывов земляков
 Маргиев Т. Г., председатель Союза художников РСО-Алания: «Чермен Урузбекович Дзанагов — был и остается в Осетии одним из главных мастеров портретной и монументальной скульптуры, виртуозным исполнителем произведений малых форм. Его работы вошли в золотой фонд осетинского национального изобразительного искусства».
 Царикаев М. О., народный художник РСО-Алания: «Отмечая профессиональные заслуги Ч. Дзанагова в искусстве, нельзя не сказать о его человеческих качествах — исключительной скромности, добродушии и порядочности. Профессиональные и человеческие достоинства снискали ему непререкаемый авторитет не только в среде осетинских коллег, но и в Союзе художников России. Являясь самым старшим по возрасту художником республики, Чермен Урузбекович до сих пор полон сил и энергии, способной проявиться ещё во многих творческих свершениях».

L'Alpe d'Huez - Former champion Vincenzo Nibali was doubtful for the remainder of the Tour de France after a collision on Alpe d'Huez Thursday left him nursing a sore back.
Nibali, who claimed his sole yellow jersey in 2014, was riding ahead of eventual stage winner Geraint Thomas when he came crashing down four kilometres before the summit of the race's legendary climb.
The Bahrain team rider was helped back on his bike and, with a courageous effort, rejoined the chase of a small group of stage leaders in a thrilling finale that saw Thomas triumph for the second alpine stage in succession.
He eventually finished in seventh place, only 13secs behind race leader Thomas, who took his overall lead over four-time champion and teammate Chris Froome to 1min 39secs.
Nibali is fourth overall at 2:37 behind Thomas, but said: "I've got a very sore back, I don't feel that great.
"I was struggling to breathe at one point from the pain, so we'll have to see if my osteopath can do something for me."
Thomas said: "I was on his (Nibali) wheel, but I didn't see if he hit a spectator. I rode over his back wheel and managed to get back on. It's not good to see, because he should have been there challenging for the stage.
"But it's just fortunate that we were ok."
The profile of Friday's 13th stage could help the Italian, a former two-time winner of the Giro d'Italia, if he decides to continue.
It is mainly undulating 169.5 km race from Bourg d'Oisans to Valence.
