Nicolaas Struyck (* 21. Mai 1686 in Amsterdam; † 15. Mai 1769 ebenda) war ein niederländischer Mathematiker, Astronom, Geograph und Pionier der Statistik in den Niederlanden.

Leben und Werk
Struyck war der Sohn eines Goldschmieds in Amsterdam, Mitglied der Lutherischen Gemeinde. Sein frühester Jugend war er ein begeisterter Insektensammler. Über seine Erziehung ist nichts bekannt, doch hatte er gute Kenntnisse in Mathematik, Geographie und Sprachen. Seine erste Publikation war eine Einführung in die Geographie, die er nach zwanzig Jahren Studium 1739 veröffentlichte. Er hatte die Principia von Isaac Newton studiert und war stark von Edmond Halley beeinflusst. Wie Halley befasste er sich mit vielen Gebieten und wurde durch ihn sowohl zum Studium von Kometen (er erweiterte Halleys Liste von 24 um 18) als auch von Sterblichkeitstafeln (Versicherungsmathematik) angeregt (als Erster erkannte er unterschiedliche statistische Lebenserwartungen von Frauen und Männern). Wie Halley studierte er historische Finsternisse und widersprach Halleys Schlussfolgerung, aus diesen auf eine Veränderlichkeit der Umlaufperiode des Mondes in der Vergangenheit schließen zu können. Sein Buch über Kometen mit einer kritischen Untersuchung der Sichtungen in der Vergangenheit erschien 1740, seine Liste von Bahndaten als Erweiterung der Liste von Halley 1749 (Viae cometarum) und die Präsentation des empirischen Materials 1753. Da in den historischen Quellen selten genaue astronomische Beobachtungsdaten zu finden waren, benutzte er die Periodizität der Erscheinung der Kometen zur Identifizierung (aus heutiger Sicht keine erfolgversprechende Methode, aber er nahm an, dass es nur relativ wenige Kometen gab). Er benutzte auch umständliche mathematische Methoden zur Berechnung der Bahnelemente, trotz der Fortschritte, die seit Newton insbesondere von Leonhard Euler auf diesem Gebiet zu seiner Zeit gemacht wurden.

1716 erschien (anonym) seine Abhandlung über Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, wo er von Jakob I Bernoulli und Abraham de Moivre angeregt war, deren Werke 1713 (Ars Conjectandi) bzw. 1711 (lateinische Version des Buchs von de Moivre) erschienen, und gab Lösungen von Problemen über Glücksspiele, die Christian Huygens 1657 stellte.

Nach dem Mathematikhistoriker Dirk Struik (der nicht mit ihm verwandt ist) war er der bedeutendste Mathematiker seiner Zeit in den Niederlanden, die in Bezug auf die Mathematik im Vergleich zum 17. Jahrhundert einen Niedergang erlebten.
Er korrespondierte mit Wissenschaftlern wie Euler, Halley, Pierre Bouguer, Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille (dessen astronomische Expedition zum Kap der Guten Hoffnung er unterstützte), Cassini, Willem Jacob 's Gravesande, Alexandre Guy Pingré, Charles Messier, Johann Samuel König und Joseph-Nicolas Delisle. Er war mit den Astronomen Dirk Klinkenberg und Cornelis Douwes befreundet, die ihm auch einige Kometen-Berechnungen für sein Buch lieferten. Da er zu Lebzeiten nur in Niederländisch publizierte, war sein Einfluss außerhalb der Niederlande begrenzt.

1749 wurde er Fellow der Royal Society, er war Korrespondent der Academie des Sciences in Paris und seit ihrer Gründung Mitglied der Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen in Haarlem.

Er war wohlhabend und hinterließ bei seinem Tod vier Häuser im Wert von 21.000 Florin.

Mysterious Radiowave Outburst Captured From Space in the Blink of an Eye
Matthew CharnockJan 20, 2015 12:45 PM EST
(Photo : Stephen Hanafin/Flickr)
A burst of activity that was detected by the Australian CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope in eastern part of the country was reported to have occurred sometime earlier last week. Was this a fluke in the telescope's reading? How could the waves remained somewhat intact after traveling nearly 6-billion light-years away? While some of these questions can't be answered at this moment, it marks a first for the astronomy community in catching the reception of such radio waves in real-time.
The eyewitness to the burst of activity detected by the satellites was a PhD student at Swinburne University of Technology, Emily Petroff.
"These bursts were generally discovered weeks, months or even more than a decade after they happened," Petroff says. "We are the first to catch one in real time."
Quickly after noticing the burst in activity, Petroff then went about notifying like-minded astronomers, leading to twelve telescopes syncing-up worldwide, across four continents and even extended to space. A similar burst of activity was discovered, by chance, in 2007. And, since that first incident, six more have been accounted for, but none of which have been captured in real-time.
"We can rule out some ideas because no counterparts were seen in the optical, infrared, ultraviolet or X-ray," CSIRO's Head of Astrophysics Dr. Simon Johnston says. "However, the neat idea that we are seeing a neutron star imploding into a black hole remains a possibility."
But, another aspect that's baffling the astronomers is the sheer distance the "smeared" signal managed to travel, and how strong it must have originally been.
"This means it could have given off as much energy in a few milliseconds as the sun does in a day," Petroff says..
That's an obscene amount of kinetic energy that must have been released at one given time; this factoid meshes well with the theory that the radio waves might have originated from a catastrophic celestial event. And now, with the burst archived and somewhat dissected by Petroff and her team, it's only a matter of time until the team of astronomers can pinpoint the origin of the burst.
"We've set the trap" Petroff says. "Now we just have to wait for another burst to fall into it."

A judge temporarily ruled in favor of two University of Massachusetts Dartmouth associate professors, both Iranian nationals and Muslim, who were detained for hours Saturday at Logan International Airport — a result of President Trump's recent executive order on imigration.
The decision, which will remain in effect for seven days, stated that individuals may be not detained or removed "by any manner or means" if they have an approved refugee application, a valid immigrant or non-immigrant visa, or are a permanent resident.
Trump's executive order, signed on Friday, bars immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US, halts refugees worldwide from entering the US for 120 days, plus bans Syrian refugees indefinitely. Protests ensued around the country, including at Logan, as passengers were detained or turned away.
Attorney Susan Church, who leads the New England chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the professors were released three hours later.
The immigration lawyers and the ACLU of Massachusetts filed the lawsuit on the professors' behalf.
The judge's decision also ordered secondary screenings be limited to comply with the regulations in the executive order and that US Customs and Border Protection should notify airlines with incoming flights to Logan to ensure the court order is followed.
Also Saturday night, a federal judge in New York ruled that refugees and non-US citizens who have been detained at airports across the country should not be deported.
Around 10 p.m., about 10 immigration lawyers gathered at the John Joseph Moakley Courthouse in a late-night attempt to ensure Massachusetts would be included in any national legal action.
For hours, the group of lawyers, mostly women, debated legal arguments and scan documents on their cellphones. At least one attorney arrived in formal dress after rushing to the courthouse directly from another event.
Lawyer Sue Finegan left gala to come to the court. Susan Cohen ditched a 60th birthday party. And Laura Rotolo of the ACLU left after her 6-year-old's birthday party.
Lawyer Kerry Doyle carried a copy of the Immigrant and Nationality Act under her arm, and lawyer Melissa Smith handed out Girl Scout cookies — Thin Mints — for sustenance.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in late September, a group of citizen scientists, community groups, and representatives from several city, county, and state wildlife organizations gathered to host the Sandia Mountain Bear Fair at the Doc Long Picnic Area. These groups are all partners in the Sandia Mountain Bear Collaborative (SMBC), whose mission is to educate the public about peacefully coexisting with bears and other wildlife in the area. Samples of animal scat, seeds and fragments recovered from the scat, molds of animal footprints, and other wildlife displays were laid out across the picnic tables.
Stephanie Long, a co-founder of SMBC, spoke at the Bear Fair about how the organization came about and why she believes it is crucial to educate the public about wildlife in our area. "Everything in wildlife is interconnected," Long said to the attendees. "The Sandias are like an island for wildlife surrounded by people on all sides." Long and Elaine Sweeney, another SMBC member, also discussed the need for more research and outreach to the community.
"Since animals are always in search of a source for food and water and as their habitats keep shrinking, their interactions with humans keeps rising," says Rick Winslow, a bear biologist with New Mexico Game and Fish. "This ends up becoming a higher mortality rate for bears, especially during drought years."
The experiences that would eventually lead to the establishment of SMBC go back to 2010. That year, Long, who has always had a passionate interest in wildlife, jumped at the opportunity to take a national course in the Master Naturalist Program, which was offered for the first time by Bernalillo County. The three-month-long course included classes in "all the 'ologies," including biology and geology, and combined exploratory hikes in the mountains with classroom training and education. In exchange, students agree to complete a 40-hour community service project of their choice and commit themselves to lifelong nature education thereafter.
Because she had recently moved from Albuquerque to the East Mountains, Long chose black bears as her project. As an herbalist, she was particularly interested in the plant seeds and fragments she discovered in bear scat and wanted to track the bears' footprints to learn more about their diet, habitat, and how far they ranged in search of food. "I became so involved in my project that I went bear crazy!" she says, laughing. She continued to study and research on her own for the next three years but wanted to learn more and do real science-based research.
She also wanted to branch out further and involve more wildlife organizations and like-minded people. In 2013, the U.S. Forest Service, New Mexico Game and Fish, Sandia Mountain Natural History Center, Bernalillo County Open Space, and ABQ Open Space agreed to coordinate resources, and the Sandia Mountain Bear Collaborative was officially established. The idea was to become more inclusive and to combine resources, research, and information, rather than to represent a particular point of view. The SMBC currently has 15 participating organizations as partners.
From the early stages of her own project, Long's secondary goal has been education and sharing what she has learned with others. When SMBC was formed, the members agreed on the importance of providing accurate, researched-based education. They learned early on that it's easier to educate young students and encourage them to teach their parents, rather than try to convince adults to change old, sometimes unsafe habits. To that end, in 2017, SMBC contacted Jason Roback, science teacher at Sandia High School, to propose a research project in collaboration with his AP Environmental Science students, (otherwise known as the "Sandia Apes") in which the students would analyze bear scat found in the Sandia Mountains in order to learn about the animals' diet, habitat, range, and behavior.
Three times during each school year, Long, Winslow, and other SMBC members bring frozen bear scat samples into the Sandia classroom. The students are divided into groups to analyze each sample for identifiable food items following a scientific method that includes noting the condition and appearance of each sample, weighing it with a digital scale, rinsing the scat through sieves, measuring the volume, and completing a scat analysis form. The seeds are saved for a seed library, later research, or emptied into compost buckets for planting in the school greenhouse. The long-range goal is to learn how the germinated seedlings can be used to restore burned areas of forest.
Roback, an East Mountain resident, says, "We cover this material in the class anyway, and instead of just doing paperwork, the kids have a chance to do actual science." The students have become very involved in the class and some have encouraged friends and siblings to take it as well. One measure of the success of the class has been a poster assignment depicting native animal and plant food webs. "Before the scat analysis project started, we would only have one or two posters about a bear's diet," Roback says. "The very next year, there were at least 20."
Students were surprised at the wide variance in appearance from sample to sample, depending on the time of year, where the scat was found, and what the bear had eaten. During one two-hour class, the groups discovered a wildflower called, fittingly, bear corn, along with grasses, sumac berries, prickly pear cactus, and insect fragments. "Once you get past the idea of digging through bear poop, it's really interesting," says one of Roback's students.
The students learned that bears are omnivores and will also feed on rodents and small mammals whose bones are not well developed. One group found fawn hooves, bone fragments, and hair in their sample, which caused one student to whisper about the discovery, "Aahh, poor baby."
The class was also shown one scat sample that was mostly plastic and candy wrappers, even more proof that a hungry bear will eat almost anything. "This example was very impactful for the students," Sweeney says. "It showed them just how desperate a hungry bear can become and the affect human behavior has on wildlife."
The students have additional opportunities to gain firsthand knowledge about the habitat, food sources, and behavior of bears and other wildlife by participating in volunteer afterschool outings in the Sandia Mountains with SMBC members and bear biologists. "It becomes less abstract when they can hunt for the scat, discover the food sources, and find it in the animals' natural habitat," says Winslow.
The dedicated citizen scientists and wildlife professionals of SMBC believe that offering students this unique opportunity will ensure a better future for human-wildlife interaction and peaceful co-existence. And, says Roback, "It will hopefully inspire some future research scientists, environmentalists, and wildlife professionals to choose this important work as a career."

I think fetching feeds reliably is the main pain point for developers. Take that away and you have a vitamin, not a pain-killer. That said, I think SuperFeedr can still be interesting even after every feed on the web supports PuSH. In addition to the features you listed, the data that flows through them is also valuable. I bet someone would pay to have access or control of that. A good parallel might be feedburner?
Both of you are right!
As I always wanted to be very transparent, here are a few points. Whether PuSH invades the web or not I think Superfeedr will win. If not, then, well, we'll still need people to hide the "polling" behind hubs. If yes, then we want to be the "provider" for all these hubs (see our publihser approach). We're also soon releasing a set of feature for which your parallel with feedburner makes a lot of sense : analytics being the most obvious one!
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing that!

Secrets and lies: NOM Exposed!
09/28/2010 Nativegrl77
Don't believe the lies:
NOM is not a respectful, tolerant group.
Help show voters, leaders, and the media that NOM doesn't speak for you!
Sign the petition at
www.NOMexposed.org
Are you tired of the National Organization for Marriage, a.k.a. NOM, putting on a mask of tolerance for the media?
Are you sick of their claim that they speak for a majority of Americans – while they support extreme anti-gay zealots and keep their donors secret?
Well, we are. And today, along with our friends at the Courage Campaign, we're launching a website that pulls back the curtain on NOM for everyone to see.
NOM Exposed uncovers shocking secrets so people can get the real facts as NOM throws its weight around in race after race this election cycle. We'll post up-to-the-minute dirt on NOM over the coming months and years, so bookmark the site and come back often.
Check out our new site – then add your name to the "NOM Doesn't Speak for Me" petition and help spread the truth!
http://www.NOMexposed.org
NOM recently released a slick new ad on behalf of Tom Emmer, the candidate for governor of Minnesota with ties to a group that condoned the execution of gays. The ad disguises NOM's anti-LGBT agenda behind a fake claim of protecting civil rights.
NOM even had the gall to compare itself to Martin Luther King, Jr., flashing images of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
It's a flagrant distortion of reality – the latest in a history of deception since NOM opened for business during the Prop. 8 campaign.
NOMexposed.org is about spreading truth. We've spent months digging into NOM's funding, shady ties, ethics violations, and more. We created this site so that every time someone searches for NOM – voters, elected leaders, reporters – they'll get the real story. They'll find out that:
Brian Brown, NOM's President, has said that "allowing gay marriage is akin to allowing polygamous marriage."
Not to be outdone, NOM founder Maggie Gallagher has said same-sex marriage is worse than polygamy.
NOM has close ties to the powerful and secretive right-wing religious group Opus Dei.
Robert George, the "reigning brain of the Christian right" and Chairman of NOM's board co-authored the Federal Marriage Amendment that would have written anti-gay discrimination into the U.S. Constitution. He also believes that repealing antiquated laws banning sodomy will lead to incest.
To hide its political activities, NOM has blatantly flouted campaign finance laws.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. We've tracked NOM's financial ties, showing how huge, secret donations have swelled its budget from $500,000 to $10 million in just three years. We've connected the dots to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and the Mormon Church.
Now we need your help to get the word out – share shocking facts on Facebook and Twitter or spread the truth by simply passing this email along.
If you believe that strong families aren't about "straight" or "gay" but about love and commitment; if you're a person of faith; if you're straight or LGBT, married, partnered or single – add your name and say "NOM Doesn't Speak for Me." We'll share this petition with officials and the media in states where NOM is at work.
Visit NOMexposed.org – add your name, and share the truth with friends and family.
We've called NOM out before, whether revealing the audition tape for "Gathering Storm" or alerting the press to their lies. But NOM Exposed goes deep into the organization's roots and represents a commitment to keep tabs on their activity and connect the dots for voters.
NOM wants to claim the middle ground. But people don't know who they really are. We are not going to sit by and let them dictate the terms of the debate. We're going to expose the lies – not just today, but every day.

worrisome Wednesday …&some News
Folks we are just five weeks from a pivotal moment in the process of moving into the 21st Century.
20 months have gone by and change has been slow
I have been listening, reading and hearing comments about Obama having taken a great first step toward change but hasn't gone far enough to sedate or fulfill the promises he made to the young voters or progressive groups during his campaign but the reality is that most if not all the folks with those attitudes are not being truthful about what this President actually campaigned on. Yes, he is far more liberal than the Republican party maybe even the other options we had but then again any law or legislation needed to solve the issues at hand have been in major conflict with the rules in both Chambers in Congress. That conflict has been an issue that has blocked stalled or scaled back the real progress needed to get our economy back on track. Negative comments are becoming bold, louder and more frequent …
change takes time … it takes cooperating with Congress and since that is not happening …the change we need will take those who supported this President to Call your member of Congress then call the others to tell them that we may have a huge tent but damn we are also a Political Party that is sabotaging ourselves with all the nonsense ….not getting done the things that will get people back to work, help and get the middle class back where they should be because the rich are way ahead of all of us. The issues facing Americans are non-partisan but the Republican Tea Party is making a political game of our lives …people are suffering
**Environmentalist… like Phil Radford, exec director/Greenpeace USA stated among other things," Obama is missing in action" as it relates to global warming …in an article written by Bryan Walsh from Time Magazine… instead of pointing fingers get together and ask for a meet up with all the major folks needed globally again again until folks get it but don't blame the President we need a movement that will impact the entire country as well as overseas then maybe people will want to make our lives livable and sustainable not to mention create new green jobs right here in the USA and prove that progress is a patriotic thing to do.
**Gay/Lesbian leaders… are starting to make comments about Obama not going far enough on don't ask/don't tell but today he announced he will enact federal benefits for same sex couples …moving too slow? too little too late? come on… People of colour know what being impatient means maybe getting organized to vote true supporters in November is what will get this finalized.
**Health-care liberals… are impatient and talking about how they put Obama in office and threatening a change in 2012 … this is attitude is unacceptable. The conflict on the floor meant compromise so we got some of what we want; what liberals and independents need to do is organize around what we have in common and get more true democrats in both Chambers of Congress instead of trying to take each other down just because the end result just was not far enough …HCR was the most sweeping effort ever
**Wall Street … flexed their muscles to show Obama who really is in charge of the market … bad behavior needs to be Regulated and now we not only have Liz Warren but a new Financial reform laws and this is in direct response to what Wall Street did to Americans and a great achievement of President Obama's
change will happen, President can't do it all himself, we need to call, write and march to let Congress know what We the People voted for
The change we believe in is definitely one that we must all take part in.

Thursday …
In 48 hours, the world will know how committed we are to standing together and fighting together in these final five weeks to retain our strong Democratic House Majority.
On Thursday at Midnight, we will come upon one of the most critical FEC deadlines that we have ever faced. It is the final quarterly deadline of this campaign and one of the last times to effectively expand our advertising in battleground districts. Your support will make the difference between victory and defeat.
My strategists inform me that we are now just $242,668 away from making this crucial goal. I am asking you to stand with me before Thursday and answer President Obama's $1 million dollar call to action for House Democrats.
Please contribute $5, $10 or more in the next 48 hours and our matching program will provide an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.
As President Obama said last week, when he issued his urgent call to action: "We simply cannot afford to spend the next two years wishing we had done more in this final push."
There is no doubt in my mind that we will maintain a strong Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives — the people's House — if we work together in these final five weeks.
Contribute $5, $10 or more in the next 48 hours and our matching program will provide an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.
With just 48 hours left, there has never been a more urgent time to contribute.
P.S. In the next 48 hours, the final quarterly deadline of this campaign will pass. This is the last time to effectively expand our advertising in our battleground districts. Your support will make the difference between victory and defeat. Please contribute today and a group of Democrats will triple your contribution.

All too often, those who proclaim to have strong principles regarding free speech or domestic spying or torture when "the other guy" is in power abandon those concerns when it's their own party's turn at the helm.
Not Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold. He's the rare person of conviction who stood alone and heroically voted against the Patriot Act when every other member of the Senate voted "aye." And his principles don't change just because there's a new resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
But Russ is in a tough battle. He's trailing his well-funded opponent by a wide margin. If Russ loses, while party bosses on both sides of the aisle can conspire to keep Joe Lieberman in the Senate, it sends a message to every member of Congress that there is no popular support for those who put themselves on the line in defense of our first amendment rights.
Our country can't afford for Russ Feingold to lose this election.
Please donate $5 or more to Russ Feingold and fight for our civil liberties. It's critical we keep his voice in the Senate. Click here to donate:

Feingold voted against TARP under Bush, and he voted against it again under Obama. He can't call on the fat cat bankers to fund his race like so many others can.
There's only one yardstick, and Russ applies it to everyone.
Feingold's opponent, Ron Johnson, has more "flexible" principles. He's a millionaire installed by the party chieftans over the objections of local activists. When Wisconsin activists asked Johnson whether he supported the Patriot Act, he said "I wasn't overly concerned with George Bush in power. I'm a little more concerned about the Patriot Act when you have Barack Obama."
Johnson, like Joe Lieberman, is no fan of free speech either. Lieberman famously said that "in matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril." Likewise, Johnson said that Feingold was "undermining our troops" by speaking out against the war in Afghanistan, and that it was "extremely harmful to our nation."
Russ needs your help. Can you please donate $5 or more to help Feingold fight back against his Lieberman-lite opponent?
Russ Feingold is the best defense of civil liberties in the Senate. His defeat would be an enormous blow to the tenuous wall holding back things like biometric ID programs that Joe Lieberman's Department of Homeland Security is simply salivating over.
The time is coming when Americans will have to decide: do we stand and fight for our right to privacy and individual freedom, or do we capitulate to the continued erosion of our civil liberties?
If you choose "fight," then join me in fighting for Russ Feingold. Click here to donate $5 or more to Russ Feingold now.
Thank you for standing up for our civil liberties, and for all you do.

What the Small Biz Jobs Act will do for you!!!
President Obama just signed the Small Business Jobs Act into law — providing immediate incentives for businesses to make new investments, expand, and hire new employees.
Starting today, millions of small business owners will be eligible for up to eight new tax cuts, and within weeks, thousands of businesses will finally have access to the credit they desperately need.
The bill also includes key provisions the President has fought for since the beginning of this year:
— Small businesses receive a tax write-off on the first $500,000 of new equipment investments;
— More than a million eligible small businesses will be able to make key long-term investments that are subject to zero capital gains taxes;
— Entrepreneurs who take a chance on a new idea can deduct the first $10,000 of start-up costs; and
— The self-employed can deduct 100 percent of the cost of health insurance for themselves and their families from self-employment taxes.
You can read more about the legislation here, on the White House's website.
This legislation is an important part of President Obama's and the Democrats' plan to move our economy forward — and it reinforces the crucial choice facing voters in the upcoming election.
Will you forward this email to the small business owners you know to help spread the word about the change we're making?
Last week, Republicans chose to unveil their "Pledge to America" at the site of the small business Tart Lumber Company in Sterling, Virginia.
Although their pledge mentions small businesses 18 times, it took less than five hours for congressional Republicans to return to the Capitol to vote against this relief for small businesses.
During this difficult time, it's critical that we continue to fight for every American job, every American small business, and every chance to boost America's economy.
Instead, Republicans have shown they're comfortable putting partisan politics ahead of hard-working families and businesses — even those, like Tart Lumber, that they happily use for political grandstanding.
It's wrong. But we're proving once again that, together, we can defeat partisan obstructionism, and today we celebrate a great victory for America's small businesses.
Thanks for all you do,
Mitch Stewart
P.S. — Have questions about the bill? This Wednesday, September 29th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the White House and OPEN Forum are holding a live Q&A on the impact of this and similar legislation on small businesses. Tune in Wednesday at this link: http://www.openforum.com/whitehouse

Headworks moves forward
Brian Paynter
Watertown Assistant City Engineer Sarah Caron feels the city will get a good deal on the Headworks Project at the wastewater treatment facility.
"This is a very experienced contractor and so we're looking forward to a good project and we recommend that you award the bid to Gridor Construction," she said at Monday's City Council meeting.
Gridor Construction Inc., of Buffalo, Minn., submitted a low bid of $7.885 million - about $4 million or 34 percent less than an engineer's estimate of $11.95 million - for the Headworks Project.
The council approved awarding the bid to Gridor Construction after the South Dakota Department of Environmental and Natural Resources reviewed and approved it. The action also followed recommendations by the Public Works Committee and AECOM of Sheboygan, Wis.
The council also approved a revised amendment of $906,378 to the agreement with AECOM for the construction engineering on alterations and additions to the wastewater treatment facility. The contract now totals $1.332 million.
AECOM has received proposals from Aason Engineering Co. Inc. and Scott Engineering Co., both of Watertown, to inspect materials and testing during the 14-month project but hasn't decided which firm to hire.
The Headworks Project entails tearing down the main lift station and reconnecting 42-inch sanitary sewer pipes to a new building with pumps and pretreatment equipment southwest of Watertown Mall. It's the last of the seven stimulus projects the council authorized earlier this year. Acting Public Works Director Geoff Heig said construction is scheduled to begin in May and culminate about mid-summer 2011.
In other action, the council:
• Approved rezoning the RPZ airport second addition from A-1 agricultural district to I-1 industrial district.
• Approved a contingency account budget transfer of $66,500 to the 2009 city budget.
• Approved two modifications totaling $4,829 to the agreement with the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution for the Upper Big Sioux River Flood Control Project.
• Viewed the working draft logo for Cattail Crossing Golf Course that may undergo minor changes.
• Approved writing off $9,996 in uncollectible ambulance accounts.
• Approved a change order of $8,360 for the airport terminal renovation project.

The muscles of the tongue develop from three occipital myotomes, but the connective tissue, lymph glands and mucosa are derived from the first and third pharyngeal arches, supplying the anterior two-thirds and posterior one-third, respectively. Between the two components the thyroglossal duct exists in the fetus but is usually obliterated before birth. From the distal end of the duct grows the thyroid gland. 8 • The arterial development from the pharyngeal arch arteries as described in the text.
A beating fetal heart tube can be recognized with ultrasound techniques by the 32nd day of intrauterine life. The heart is formed as a pair of heart tubes developing from an accumulation of angiogenic cells in the area of the pericardial mesoderm. These left and right endocardial heart tubes fuse to form a single chamber within the pericardial mesoderm. The caudal end of the tube receives blood from the confluence of the vitelline, umbilical and cardinal veins, which run into the left and right sinus venosus.
9). The midgut starts in the duodenum at the level of the entry of the bile duct. From it, the pancreas develops initially as a ventral and dorsal part, the former arising from the bile duct and the latter from the duodenum itself. The two parts subsequently fuse and the two ducts form a common opening to the duodenum. The midgut extends down to the splenic flexure of the colon, and is supplied with blood from the superior mesenteric artery. 9 • The vascular supply to the developing alimentary system.

Ní Chróinín, D., Cosgrave, C. (2013) 'Implementing formative assessment in primary physical education: teacher perspectives and experiences.' Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy 18(2), pp. 219-33. DOI: 10.1080/17408989.2012.666787.
Background: Incorporating assessment as a regular practice can enhance teaching and learning in primary physical education. However, there is little evidence to suggest primary teachers use assessment strategies regularly in their physical education classes. Purpose: To explore the impact of incorporating assessment into primary teachers' physical education practices on (a) their perspectives on assessment and (b) teaching and learning in primary physical education. Methodology: Primary teachers in Limerick (n ¼ 2) and Dublin (n ¼ 3) participated in initial focus group interviews exploring practices and understandings of assessment in physical education. Each teacher then planned and delivered a series of lessons where assessment was considered in relation to the learning intentions. Their experiences were captured using reflective journals (Limerick) and a mid-point focus group interview (Dublin). Both groups of teachers participated in a third focus group interview after lessons were completed. Qualitative analysis by both researchers involved individual coding of the data using the constant comparison method followed by conversations on alignment of findings. Trustworthiness of the data was addressed using peer debriefing techniques. Findings: The inclusion of assessment in physical education lessons provided structure and focus to the planning, teaching and learning processes and impacted positively on both teacher learning and the children's learning. The assessment strategies focused the learners, allowed for feedback related to assessment criteria and informed future planning. Challenges for the teachers included the amount of time needed to plan, difficulty in accessing sample assessments and differentiating assessments for different class levels and abilities. Conclusion: The use of assessment strategies enhanced the quality of teaching and learning in physical education and impacted positively on the teachers' and learners' perceptions of physical education. The importance of supporting teachers, through provision of information on assessment strategies and samples of assessment strategies aligned with content in physical education to enhance their everyday practice, is highlighted.

Study warns 24 million Americans at risk of high lead from corrosive water
Published Thu, Jul 14 2016 4:18 PM EDT Updated Thu, Jul 14 2016 5:02 PM EDT
Berkeley Lovelace Jr.@BerkeleyJr
Half of U.S. states have a high or very high prevalence of well water that's corrosive enough to leach lead from pipes.
That's the consensus of a new report from the U.S. Geological Survey that assessed groundwater of more than 20,000 private wells nationwide. About 44 million people in the U.S. get their drinking water from private wells.
"The corrosivity of untreated groundwater is only one of several factors that may affect the quality of household drinking water at the tap," Stephen Moulton, chief of the USGS National Water-Quality Program, said in a press release. "Nevertheless, it is an essential factor that should be carefully considered in testing for water quality in both public and private supplies nationwide."
Eleven states and the District of Columbia have a "very high prevalence" of potentially corrosive groundwater, a finding that could effect as many as 8 million people who depend upon self-supplied groundwater. To be designated "very high prevalence" the states scored high on both measurement indexes used in the study.
Fourteen states have a "high prevalence," meaning they scored high on one of the two gauges used in the study. About 16 million people live in states in this category and rely on self-supplied groundwater.
Nineteen states were seen as having a "moderate prevalence," and six states were classified as "low prevalence," according to the report.
The states with the largest percentage of wells with potentially corrosive groundwater are located primarily in the Northeast, the Southeast, and the Northwest. Virginia and Pennsylvania are states where private water sources, such as wells, springs, or cisterns, are especially common.
Kenneth Belitz, one of the researchers involved in the study, told CNBC they're only beginning to look at the factors that cause corrosivity. But geography and proximity to sources of chloride may be important factors.
"The rock and minerals affect chemical composition," he said. "The coastal plains on the East Coast tend to have more issues... The rainfall contributes chloride. Rain enters the ground and then it begins to move toward wells. As it moves through the system its chemical composition changes. The amount of time and the amount of rock that it has encountered will also affect the composition."
source: U.S. Geological Survey
Maintenance, testing and treatment of private water supplies are the responsibility of the homeowner. Self-supplied water is not generally regulated and often is not treated. "It requires self awareness and spending one's owns money," Belitz said.
In contrast, public water supplies are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are required by law to test.
"Fortunately, in most areas of the country and with appropriate safeguards, the majority of homeowners can get good quality drinking water from private wells," Moulton said in the release. "But this study is a good reminder that prudent, routine testing of the water, including its interaction with the water supply system, is an essential first step so homeowners and their families can confidently drink water from their faucets."
Belitz said additional steps could include identification and evaluation of additional indices of corrosivity, and evaluation of the relation between the indices and the factors that may affect groundwater corrosivity. These factors include, but are not limited to, aquifer type, mineralogy of the aquifer materials, distance of the well from recharge areas, depth of the well, groundwater age, climate, and proximity to sources of salinity, according to the report.
In the study, two indicators were used to identify which areas in the U.S. might be more susceptible to elevated concentrations of metals in household drinking water and which areas might be less susceptible.
One was the Langelier Saturation Index, used to indicate the degree of saturation of calcium carbonate in water. This mineral is naturally present in water and acts as protection against minerals dissolving from pipes. In the absence of a protective, lead, if present, may dissolve into the water.
"[Calcium] can either precipitate and form a lining in scale in a pipe or not," Belitz said. "It depends if it is undersaturated, saturated or oversaturated. "
On the basis of the LSI, about one-third of the samples collected from about 21,000 groundwater sites are classified as potentially corrosive, according to the report.
And then there was the Potential to Promote Galvanic Corrosion. Galvanic corrosion of lead is an electrochemical process that can occur when lead pipe or lead solder is in contact with a dissimilar metal such as copper.
Lead and copper are rarely detected in most drinking water supplies. But some household plumbing fixtures may contain lead or copper, and corrosive waters may pick up lead and copper from household plumbing pipes after entering a home.
"Like a car battery. There is a conductor fluid and one moves from post to the other," he said.
On the basis of the PPGC, about two-thirds of the samples collected from about 27,000 groundwater sites are classified as moderate PPGC, and about one-tenth as high PPGC.
Potential sources of lead include lead pipes or fittings in homes built prior to 1930, lead solder used in copper fittings in homes, "lead-free" brass components, which, in all states, except California, may have contained up to 8 percent lead, prior to 2014 and galvanized steel that contained 0.5 to 1.4 percent lead, prior to 2014, according to the study.
The report points out that this is not to be confused with the water problems faced in Flint, Michigan, that exposed 6,000 to 12,000 children to drinking water with high levels of lead. The problems in Flint were related to treated surface-water from the Flint River, whereas this report focuses on untreated groundwater nationwide, the agency said.

Best Subwoofers On The Market
PSB Speakers, a great brand that is known for affordable excellence in loudspeaker design, has two new additions to the latest generation of Alpha Series. The Alpha S10 and the Alpha S8 powered subwoofers.
The S8 and S10 subwoofers exhibit characteristics which are usually left unaddressed at such modest price points. In general, most subwoofers in this category are expected to merely produce noticeable sound pressure levels in the portion of the listening register most frequented by Home Theatre special effects. Detail, finesse and musicality are sacrificed for the sake of dinosaurs stomping their feet or explosions.
Alpha subwoofers are held to much more stringent goals. The S8 and S10 are capable of performing the most demanding musical passages with an incredible degree of refinement. This level of performance comes from a keen understanding of the true purpose of a subwoofer. A subwoofer exists to supplement the other speakers in the audio system seamlessly and without audibly drawing attention to itself. Without good integration of speaker and subwoofer, a uniform and transparent performance cannot be achieved. Through painstaking attention to the design of the crossover filters and tuning, the Alpha S8 and S10 deliver a virtually imperceptive transition between subwoofer and speaker.
Another key design goal was to eliminate one of the biggest culprits of any subwoofer. Port noise not only muddies the overall sonic performance but gives away the position of the subwoofer in the listening space. The S8 and S10 incorporate a rear slot port design specifically created to eliminate any audible port noise or chuffing. In brief, these new subwoofers play their part with accuracy and efficiency while remaining invisible to the ear.
The Alpha S10 and Alpha S8 are equipped with a new 150 watt RMS amplifier which is able to deliver 210W of dynamic power for unconstrained deep-bass peaks and musical accuracy.
This robust new powerplant is perfectly paired with specialized long-throw drivers and efficient, bass-extending bass reflex enclosures designed to maximize all aspects of performance to deliver the flattest frequency response and powerful bass extension.
All of aspects of the design, tuning, and choice of components combine to deliver the best low frequency performance of any subwoofer remotely in its price range.
Key Features of the new PSB Alpha Sub Models:
Bass reflex design with rear port
150 Watt digital amplifier
Compact cabinet volumes with high output
Woofers feature polypropylene cones and rubber surrounds
Design and final voicing engineered by Paul Barton

Best of Youth
2006 Favorites (Older Films)
It's time for that end of the year wrap-up, which for me, usually comes at some point in late January. So getting it done now, has me right on schedule, if not a little early. I've always skewed late (i.e. not December 31) on this, largely because there were always a few extra films I wanted to see whose release dates were crammed into the last week of December. Now that I'm a parent and theater time is even more limited, I skew late because there are a few extra films I want to see that are already out on DVD.
Having said that, I suspect any future write-ups of the year gone by are going to tilt even more to the personal side as the far majority of my viewing tends to be of older films. I simply have less opportunities (and interest) in the heavily marketed "event movies" or even much of the Oscar bait thrown out at the end of the year. I find as I grow older I am less interested in "discovering" some new film and more apt to read weekly reviews, festival summaries, and write ups like these at the end of the year for ideas on how to fill out my viewing list.
In that spirit, this year's list will be the older films I've encountered for the first time, accompanied by a list of new films that came out in 2006. The former is much more difficult in that it includes a much longer starting list. The latter is difficult in being able to find 10 films worthy of listing. As always, my rankings are based on what I most want to see again, and I've avoided an unranked list mostly because I enjoy seeing where things end up in relation to one another.
1. Brief Encounter (1945, dir. David Lean)
Yeah, I know. I'm kind of surprised too. But it's a romance about an adulterous couple, you say? Well yes, but this film had such a powerful effect on me that its place on this list is without much question. When I think back to it, the first thing that always comes to mind is the completely disarming performance by Celia Johnson as the compromised wife. There's a fragile beauty in her eyes that leaves her at once attractive, helpless, and guilt-ridden. Yet, even as she delves further into her adulterous fantasy, one continues to find hope in her guilt, leading to a stunning conclusion that, frankly, left me gasping for breath. It sure doesn't hurt a film's chances either when the director liberally employs some of the most exquisite piano music ever scored – Rachmaninov's 2d piano concerto.
2. The Man Who Planted Trees (1987, dir. Frédéric Back)
If I'm honest, this is really the only film in competition with Lean's fine work. A short animated film, The Man Who Planted Trees is a simple fable told with such quiet grace and poetry that it almost sneaks up on you. I say almost, because in spite of its quiet way, it quickly becomes apparent this film offers a picture of a man we would all do well to emulate. The story is simple: it's about a single man living in a desolate valley who spends his days planting seeds, and the progress of that valley over time. Beyond that, the animation itself contributes to the overall feel of the film, beginning with fewer colors, slowly expanding the palette as the scope of the film expands. There's a lightness and airiness to the beautiful animation that offers a nice contrast to the ethical and spiritual weight offered in the story itself.
3. Trial of Joan of Arc (1962, dir. Robert Bresson)
This short (61 minutes) feature follows the famous saint in her final days. Bresson typically finds the transcendent through close observation of the physical and finite. The same is true here, as his close focus on Joan, and especially her hands and feet, offer insights into bondage and freedom, life and death, guilt and innocence. Further, while the explicit content of the trial was most often theological, Bresson is careful to highlight the political stakes that were often driving the theological conclusions.
4. Nights of Cabiria (1957, dir. Frederico Fellini)
The star of this film, Giulietta Masina, has been a revelation for me this year. So expressive, but with a hard edge, and yet can still bring out a sensitivity and fragility that is just about heartbreaking. I chose this over Fellini's earlier La Strada first and foremost because of its pitch perfect ending, a final shot etched into my memory. Beyond that though, Cabiria, a prostitute in Rome who somehow does well enough to get by without often working, is at the edge of a transformative moment in her life. The way Fellini ties in the romantic, financial, and religious elements that bring her toward this moment is so effortless, but also filled with engaging commentary on these elements.
5. Camera Buff (1979, dir. Krzysztof Kieslowski)
Kieslowski's fictional account of a corporate salesman's turn toward filmmaking is remarkably personal, astute in its observations of obsession, the dynamics of married life, and the beauty of simple, realistic filmmaking. The always interesting Jerzy Stuhr plays Filip, a young husband and father of a newborn who, having bought an 8mm camera to film his young daughters life, begins to turn the camera on other subjects. As the gaze of the camera leaves his family, Filip's eye follows, a fact abundantly clear to his wife, who is effectively silenced by all the praise Filip garners for his films made in and around his company. A fascinating look at the nature of the filmmaker, Camera Buff reveals where the truth lies in filmmaking.
6. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962, dir. John Ford)
Ford's gritty, dirty, and dark film that portrays the end of the old West, or at least the West as it moves on toward accommodating a more settled stage of life. Jimmy Stewart plays Ransom Stoddard, an old Senator who has returned to his roots in Shinbone for the funeral of his friend Tom Doniphon (John Wayne). Most of the film occurs in flashback, as Stoddard tells of his early days there, back when the town was run by a common (and often bloody) code of justice rather than lawyers and judges. It is one part nostalgia, another part lament, while Ford's direction, pacing, and framing offer a complex experience of loss and the clash between old and new.
7. My Life to Live (1962, dir. Jean-Luc Godard)
Godard's film follows a young, urban woman through twelve scenes as she moves from aspiring actress to full-fledged prostitute. Maybe that sounds just plain depressing, but with Godard's energetic direction and the wonderful Anna Karina as Nana it is never anything short of mesmerizing to watch. Nana's liveliness, vivacity, and naïveté create a character that is endlessly watchable, both for the passion with which she lives her life, but also out of concern for her less than ideal choices. She is a human being in the fullest sense, a wonder to behold.
8. Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987, dir. Louis Malle)
A meditation on a childhood spent in war, Malle brings us into the world of an elite Catholic boarding school in the country, where Parisian parents have sent their children to wait out the German occupation of Paris. Julien, being smarter than the other boys and desperately homesick for his mother, is lonely and ends up becoming intrigued by the new boy, Jean, who just happens to be a Jewish refugee the priests are hiding, a secret to all the boys. Thus begins a journey of discovery for Julien, whose curiosity allows him to know Jean better than most, yet whose innocence keeps him from understanding the implications of Jean's religious affiliation.
9. Best of Youth (2005, dir. Marco Tullio Giordana)
This is a six-hour miniseries made for Italian television that follows the development, suffering, and growth of a single contemporary Italian family – particularly two brothers who are close as young men but diverge in young adulthood and struggle to relate as they get older. In doing so, director Giordana deftly weaves in scenes depicting recent Italian history, making this a kind of historical document that adds a real groundedness to the proceedings. With its wide cast of characters, its mix of comic and dramatic elements, and an often lyrical presentation, it is always interesting to watch.
10. Badlands (1973, dir. Terrence Malick)
This is Malick's first film, with a young Martin Sheen (Kit) and even younger Sissy Spacek (Holly) traveling across the South Dakota terrain. Malick's trademark narration, elliptical editing, and visual poetry all make appearances in the finest form. While their young love begins with all the rapture of a honeymoon, things take a turn for the worse for the couple as Kit begins his murdering spree. Holly in her innocence tags along as they evade the police, yet the genius here is her narration, which creates an interesting dissonance between her thoughts and what we see before us.

Given that all previous efforts to spin the tragedy failed and seeing that the political cost was bearing down heavily on the shoulders of the government, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at long last was forced on Friday to take political responsibility for Monday's devastating wildfire that ripped through a coastal area east of Athens, killing at least 87 people and leaving dozens unaccounted for.
Tsipras also encouraged his ministers to follow his example – whatever that means.
But this is much too little, too late – particularly given that during his speech in front of the cabinet yesterday Tsipras made several vague statements, half-hearted confessions, as well as attempts to protect those in positions of responsibility.
His remarks were also characterized by contradictions, promises and unsubstantiated references to evil arsonists. It was a far from convincing show.
Damage control without accountability
Chronic problems, responsibilities and resignations
Evidence of a breakdown

Q: How lock/unlock mouse scroll on PHP/html/Javascript? In my project I have a dialog window that arrears when user clicks on link
Dialog window

Then window appears it runs Javascript function flashnotice() and in this function I need to blocked mouse scroll, and when user close this window (user clicks on image) mouse scroll release, I prefer listening this image on jQuery and when be a click run new Javascript function that release mouse scroll.

A: You can set style="overflow:hidden"  on body tag when box appears. It will lock mouse scroll or use position:fixed on a box.
The best way to "freeze" a page is to make transparent or half transparent box (100% width, 100% height) between a page and your box and set position:fixedto your box. This is the way Lightbox/Fancybox works.

A: Actually you cannot lock scrolling, you can use CSS fixed/absolute positioning feature to fix position of your element.

A: I think that it is possible using a script like :
function kill(event)
{
    event.preventDefault();
    event.stopPropagation();
    return false;
}
$(document).bind('scroll', kill); // Lock Wheel
$(document).unbind('scroll'); // Unlock Wheel

At the summit, the meeting between Putin and Zelensky took place for the first time
French President Emmanuel Macron

PARIS, December 10. /TASS/. French President Emmanuel Macron has thanked his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky for his decisive position and actions on resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
"At the summit, the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky took place for the first time," Macron told reporters at a news conference after the Normandy Four summit in Paris. "In this regard, I want to note the political courage and decisiveness that the Ukrainian president has shown since his election by seeking to achieve peace in the conflict that harms his country," he added.
"The fact that we gathered together in Paris is an important result from different points of view. That's reliable progress, which was not obvious in advance, given that there had been no specific steps forward for many years," Macron stressed. "I believe that the mere fact that this forum was held and that negotiations lasting several hours took place at it is an achievement in itself."

Doug Tygar has passed away
Prof. Doug Tygar (CS B.A. '82) unexpectedly passed away on January 16th. As a Professor of Computer Science and a Professor of Information Management and Systems, he made unique and significant contributions to the fields of usable computer security, cryptography, privacy, and digital rights management. He co-founded the Secure Machine Learning research group in 2004, which focused on defining how machine learning algorithms can be dishonestly manipulated, and how to make them more robust, culminating in a recently published book, Adversarial Machine Learning, with a colleague and two former students. He also helped to create and co-teach the first offering of the undergraduate Computer Security class at Berkeley (CS 161), and most recently helped to craft and launch the School of Information's Master of Information and Cybersecurity in 2018. He will be sorely missed. Memorial information will be provided at a later date.

From global experience to collective perspective: Li Yang Kat
EECS Master of Engineering (MEng) student Li Yang Kat, who is originally from Singapore and has studied abroad in Sweden and South Korea, loves the human aspect of engineering and is passionate about sharing his fondness for STEM with other students. He says that his experiences overseas have broadened his world view and feels that understanding other's perspectives will make him a better engineer. "A good engineer is technically competent, but taking the time to understand the needs of our users, dedicating ourselves to continuously improve our skills, and always demonstrating utmost integrity are the hallmarks of a great engineer," said Kat.

Kirk Tramble, one of three generations of Cal Bears
Alumnus Kirk Tramble (B.S. EECS 1993) is both the son and father of proud UC Berkeley alumni. His father, Thomas, earned a B.A. in Sociology/African American Studies in 1971, and his son, Gabriel, graduated with a B.A. in Media Studies in 2018. The family is profiled in a Cal Alumni article which compares their experiences as Black students at Cal during three different eras. Kirk arrived on campus at a time when academic support for students of color was at an all-time high, and watched as everything changed after the passage of Proposition 209 in 1996, when the percentage of black students dropped from 8% to 2%. "The response [to Prop 209] was to ultimately shut down many of the programs that were the highest serving programs for African Americans on campus," he said. He and his father now administer a scholarship offered by the African American Initiative to encourage and support Black students at Cal.
