Roads and bridges that are deteriorated, congested or lack some desirable safety features cost New York motorists a total of $28 billion statewide annually – as much as $3,192 per driver in some urban areas – due to higher vehicle operating costs, traffic crashes and congestion-related delays.
Increased investment in transportation improvements at the local, state and federal levels could relieve traffic congestion, improve road, bridge and transit conditions, boost safety, and support long-term economic growth in New York, according to a new report released by TRIP, a Washington, D.C.-based national transportation research nonprofit.
The TRIP report, "New York Transportation by the Numbers: Meeting the State's Need for Safe, Smooth and Efficient Mobility," finds that throughout New York, nearly half of major locally and state-maintained roads are in poor or mediocre condition, 10% of locally and state-maintained bridges (20 ft. or more in length) are rated poor/structurally deficient, and 5,019 people lost their lives on the state's roads from 2015-2019.
New York's major urban roads are congested, causing significant delays and choking commuting and commerce. The TRIP report includes statewide and regional pavement and bridge conditions, congestion data, highway safety data, and cost breakdowns for the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, Binghamton, Buffalo-Niagara Falls, New York-Newark-Jersey City, Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown, Rochester, Syracuse and Utica urban areas.
Driving on deficient roads costs New York state motorists a total of $28 billion each year in the form of extra vehicle operating costs (VOC) as a result of driving on roads in need of repair, lost time and fuel due to congestion-related delays, and the costs of traffic crashes in which the lack of adequate roadway safety features, while not the primary factor, likely were a contributing factor.
The TRIP report finds that 26% of major locally and state-maintained roads in New York state are in poor condition and another 19% are in mediocre condition, costing the state's motorists an additional $7.7 billion each year in extra vehicle operating costs, including accelerated vehicle depreciation, additional repair costs, and increased fuel consumption and tire wear.
"These latest findings by TRIP shed more light on the continued need to address the countless roads and bridges causing businesses and employees time and money," said Melvin Norris, senior director of government affairs for The Business Council of New York State, Inc. "These careful studies can be used as a roadmap to finally address and solve these problems altogether. We are hopeful that the federal infrastructure package will help in solving this ongoing problem."
Statewide, 10% of New York's bridges are rated poor/structurally deficient with significant deterioration to the bridge deck, supports or other major components. Fifty-four percent of the state's bridges are rated in fair condition and the remaining 36% are in good condition.
Congested roads choke commuting and commerce and cost New York drivers $15.4 billion each year in the form of lost time and wasted fuel. In the most congested urban areas, drivers lose up to $2,107 and as many as 92 hours per year due to traffic congestion. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, vehicle travel in New York dropped by as much as 45% in April 2020 compared to vehicle travel during the same month the previous year, but rebounded to 8% below October 2019 levels by October 2021.
"Year after year this report highlights the terrible condition of our roads and bridges," said Mark Eagan, president and CEO of the Capital Region Chamber. "The lack of infrastructure investment has real consequences for the traveling public and for our region's economy. Thankfully with Congress' approval of the infrastructure bill, New York state will have increased funding to improve our crumbling roads and bridges. Importantly, during her recent State of the State, Gov. Hochul said that New Yorkers deserve 21st century infrastructure. I could not agree with her more."
Traffic crashes in New York claimed the lives 5,019 people between 2015 and 2019. New York's overall traffic fatality rate of 0.75 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel in 2019 is lower than the national average of 1.11. From 2015 to 2019, there were 1,400 pedestrian and 197 bicycle fatalities in New York, 32% of the total number of traffic fatalities in the state.
Traffic crashes imposed a total of $13.9 billion in economic costs in New York in 2019 and traffic crashes in which a lack of adequate roadway safety features, while not the primary factor, were likely a contributing factor imposed $4.6 billion in economic costs.
"All motorists deserve safe roads and bridges while strong infrastructure also has a direct impact on New York's economy. AAA is pleased that the state legislature has secured record transportation investments and has created new programs to help support cities across the state including Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse in 2022," said Elizabeth Carey, director of public relations at AAA Western and Central New York. "AAA urges lawmakers to continue to prioritize transportation investments to ensure safe and efficient mobility across the state."
Improvements to New York's roads, highways and bridges are funded by local, state and federal governments. Annual investment in roads, highways and bridges by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) increased by 37% from 2018 to 2021 from approximately $4.3 billion to $6 billion.
The level of NYSDOT highway investment is likely to increase further as a result of the five-year federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), signed into law in November 2021, which will increase annual federal funding for New York roads, highways and bridges by 52% from an average of approximately $1.8 billion annually to $2.7 billion. Federal funds currently provide 38% of the revenue used by NYSDOT to fund highway and bridge improvements.
The efficiency and condition of New York' transportation system, particularly its highways, is critical to the health of the state's economy. Annually, $1 trillion in goods are shipped to and from New York, relying heavily on the state's network of roads and bridges. Increasingly, companies are looking at the quality of a region's transportation system when deciding where to relocate or expand.
Regions with congested or poorly maintained roads may see businesses relocate to areas with a smoother, more efficient and more modern transportation system. The design, construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in New York supports approximately 319,000 full-time jobs across all sectors of the state economy.
Approximately 3.5 million full-time jobs in New York in key industries like tourism, retail sales, agriculture and manufacturing are dependent on the quality, safety and reliability of the state's transportation infrastructure network.
"Additional federal funding from the IIJA will allow New York to move forward with needed improvements to its transportation network that will make the state's roads and bridges smoother, safer and more efficient while boosting the economy and creating jobs," said Dave Kearby, TRIP's executive director. "In addition to the federal investment, it will be critical that New York state continue to increase its level of transportation investment."

ALAN OX IN CONCERT: "Song, Shtick & Soft Shoe"
(Published: December 04, 2010)
An Evening of Classic Stage Variety
What: Alan Ox in Concert: "Song, Shtick & Soft Shoe"
When: Friday, November 5, 2010 - 8:00 p.m.
Where: Washington University • 560 Music Center • 560 Trinity Avenue
University City, MO 63130
Cost: $20 / Adult, $10 / Student with valid i.d.
Tickets: Metrotix (314.534.1111), Edison Theater Box Office (314.935.6543)
for reserved seating
Info: www.AlOxLive.com
St. Louis, September 29, 2010 - 'Classic stage variety' man Alan Oxenhandler (known by friends as Al Ox) pulls together all his talents "live in the loop" on Friday, November 5, 2010. Not since his Sheldon Concert Hall performance of "You Can't Do That in St. Louis" has Al staged a music/comedy event. This one promises to be more charged with the band and Al working the stage together through both lyrics and laughs.
The multi-instrumentalist (vocals-drums-piano) has routinely performed across the Midwest in bars and bistros since his early 20s. It is his music lovers, however, who know better than to peg him for music alone.
For one-night-only "Song, Shtick & Soft-Shoe" will spotlight Al's vocals in a dramatic venue. "It all comes down to the music," Al explains, "but growing up I also loved watching the show where a guy could crack me up and then throw in a little song and soft shoe too. To me, that's entertainment, and this new show is my expression of the craft!"
Along with his personal take on popular tunes, the show will be peppered with Al's brand of comedic observation as he launches into the crooning styles of vocalists he has admired and jabbed through the years.
The show will include hits "That's Life", "Day In Day Out," and even Lerner & Lowes operatic, "I Could Have Danced All Night." A couple skits consist of, "You Too Can Sing Like Neil Diamond" and "Taking Over NPR." Having studied tap dance for the last five years, you can definitely expect foot flourishes in the show, as well as other surprises to 'entertain and astonish.'
Also in the limelight will be the venue itself. According to Ox, "The 560 Music Center, right in the U-City Loop, is a plush venue with a huge stage and live acoustics. It's the old Shaare Emeth synagogue. The last time I was there I did not understand a word they said!"
Backing up Al Ox will be his special show band, featuring Phil Gomez (Steinway Concert Grand), Bob Rowe (keyboard), Benet Schaeffer (drums) and Willem von Hombracht (bass). Alan performs weekly on piano at Ruth's Chris Steak House at the Hyatt Hotel Downtown and in Clayton. He also plays drums and piano with his trio, and has staged comedy shows and tributes to both Tony Bennett and Chet Baker.
Alan Ox in Concert: "Song, Shtick & Soft-Shoe" takes place at the Washington University 560 Music Building located in the U-City Loop, across from City Hall at 560 Trinity / Delmar Boulevard. Show time is 8 p.m. Reserved seating tickets are available at Metrotix (314.534.1111), the Edison Theater Box Office (314.935.6543) on the Washington University campus -or- at the door.
Free parking is available behind the venue, in the surrounding area, and in the public Kingsland lot (one block away). For more information visit www.aloxlive.com, www.deblaze.com or contact DeBlaze & Associates at 314.766.JAZZ (5299).

Rarely do I leave a product introduction as excited as I did this morning at the formal launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform. It's not that the physical hardware is so compelling?the touch-screen 10Z looks nice, but there are many other good-looking and well-built smartphones out today; rather, BlackBerry 10 takes a very different approach to many of the issues people have with smartphones today, like constantly switching among multiple applications and managing both work and personal applications while maintaining both security and privacy.
Rarely do I leave a product introduction as excited as I did this morning at the formal launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform. It's not that the physical hardware is so compelling—the touch-screen 10Z looks nice, but there are many other good-looking and well-built smartphones out today; rather, BlackBerry 10 takes a very different approach to many of the issues people have with smartphones today, like constantly switching among multiple applications and managing both work and personal applications while maintaining both security and privacy.
Thorsten Heins (above), CEO of BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) started by explaining how the company had a choice two years ago about whether to adapt someone else's platform or to build a completely new one. It chose the latter, as it thought it could change how smartphones worked. Heins said BlackBerry absolutely knew the decision was risky. It would sometimes involve "truly brutal honesty," but the company transformed itself.
"This is the new BlackBerry," Heins said, referring not to the device or even the OS, but about the newly-branded company as a whole. He used the slogan "Re-designed, re-engineered, re-invented" to refer both to the BlackBerry system and the company itself.
The BlackBerry 10 OS has a number of unique features, most of which have been previewed before and Heins and head of software portfolio Vivek Bhardwaj walked through the features on stage (above).
What looks most interesting to me is the concept of "flow" and "peek," where you can check information like incoming email while running other applications. This is part of having a real multitasking operating system (based on the QNX real-time OS). The BlackBerry Hub, is a single application that brings together mail, calendaring, and social networking from all of your accounts in a single place.
That's nice, and while Windows Phone 8 has a similar "people hub," what sets this apart is the ability to check the hub while still running other applications. You use a swiping gesture to slide the current application to the side, letting you "peek" at the hub. This is said to work with various mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), and others; and looks quite good. Another feature that makes this useful is the signature red light that flashes when you have a new message, letting you know you might want to check the hub, but without interrupting you.
One particularly nice feature is that if you have a meeting scheduled, the hub can automatically pull down photos of attendees from social network sites and provide information on their companies and their social updates.
The other big new feature is Balance, which lets you add a "work" side to the phone, and lets you easily switch between the two sides with just a gesture. This allows for business information to be secure and managed on the enterprise side while still respecting privacy because the enterprise doesn't see personal information. The two sides can co-exist within a single unified user experience (with both in the hub) or separated.
This is something I think a lot of IT departments will really like, though to get it running, they will need a new BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10, which only supports the new devices, not previous BlackBerry 6 and 7 devices. While it's technically not that difficult, IT departments will have to decide to host a separate server even to test the devices, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how this works.
Another unusual feature involves the camera. In this application, you move the focus around by moving an on-screen focus label, and tap to take the picture. What makes it different is a feature called TimeShift, which captures photos over a short period of time, lets you zoom in on an expression, and pick the one that works best. I can see where that would be useful. There's also an integrated picture editor that lets you add effects and styles to your photo. A new app called Story Maker lets you choose a number of different media files; add background music, titles and credits; and generate a movie with transitions and effects.
The on-screen keyboard has a different interface for suggesting words, bringing up suggestions you can "flick" to the screen, as well as support for multiple simultaneous languages.
You can run the whole environment from a keyboard, which certainly sounds good, but the proof will be in how well this really works. There are a bunch of new gestures to learn, though they don't seem that hard.
Other features include a new version of BBM that includes video calls and screen sharing (which would be great for BBM users; for others, the company has promised a version of Skype is due shortly). A new application called BlackBerry Remember lets you flag topics of interest and put them into folders; this integrates with Outlook Notes and Tasks, and with Evernote.
Of course, any new phone platform needs applications to succeed. Martyn Mallick, vice president of Global Alliances and Business Development, said that BlackBerry 10 is launching with over 70,000 applications, which he said is more by far than any other system has had at launch. The company mentioned an impressive list of applications—some of which appear to be in the BlackBerry World store now, some of which don't. Still, the question remains whether BlackBerry can continue to add the top applications, and how well those applications will work.
On the hardware side, the first device is the touch-screen Z10, with a 4.2-inch 1,280-by-768 display, based on a 1.5GHz dual core processor. It offers an 8MP rear-facing camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and a full assortment of sensors. It has a textured surface on the back and slightly rounded edges. Overall, it looks quite nice, but as I said, there's nothing particularly unique about any of those specifications; it matches most of today's high-end phones, but doesn't have the largest or highest-resolution screen. Still, the hardware looks very modern and high-end, and that may be all BlackBerry needs in this category. This phone will be available at different points from different carriers. Some will bring it out as soon as tomorrow, but general availability in the U.S. appears to be slated for March.
In some respects, the keyboard-based Q10 is more unusual, with a 3.1-inch touch screen above a physical keyboard (somewhat like the BlackBerry Bold 9900, which had a 2.8-inch screen). These devices weren't seen much at the announcement, but are expected in the first half of the year. I had sort of hoped we'd see a slide-out keyboard more like the Torch 9810 but for now, it looks like BlackBerry is focusing just on the Z and Q models.
Moving forward, Heins talked about BlackBerry 10 as a movement from "mobile communications to true mobile computing." Soon, he said, you will have more ways to connect your mobile experiences and yourself to things around you, with "the Internet of things." In particular, he talked about expanded communications to car, home, and health care systems.
But none of that will matter unless BlackBerry 10 can rebuild its core audience. I left the announcement eager to test a device and convinced that BlackBerry should be able to attract IT departments. Setting up personal information seems easy enough, but the real test will be getting it to work with the new BES and real corporate mail, and then seeing how well Balance, Hub, and the actual applications will work in the real world. That in turn should impact whether users will actually want a new BlackBerry, as opposed to being forced to use one by corporate IT.
As Heins put it, "Today is not the finish line, it is the starting line."

What does The Burger King have in common with Business News on TV?
At first look, you might not directly associate a Whopper and Fries with Cable TV Business News channels such as CNBC and Bloomberg. But without Burger King, you wouldn't have business news on TV.
Jim McLamore was the co-founder of the restaurant chain made famous for letting you have it your way. He lived in Miami, and served on the board of WPBT, the PBS affiliate for South Florida. In the fall of 1978, Station Executive Linda O'Bryon was tasked with the job of coming up with late afternoon programming to compete with the local newscasts of the three commercial stations in the Miami market. According to McLamore's autobiography, The Burger King, he recalls his suggestion of producing a wrap up show for the day's business news as a cost effective way for the station to counter the traditional mix of news, weather and sports on the commercial broadcast fare. There are several cost-effective ways to run one's business. You can see more information about eGoldFax and understand how you could use their services for your brand.
His idea became Nightly Business Report (NBR), which has been a part of the PBS offerings since then. This show established the context for what business news would be on television. With the launch of dedicated business networks on cable such as CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business Networks, all these can trace their heritage and linage to NBR. In August 2010, WPBT-TV sold the show to NBR Worldwide Inc., a newly formed privately held company headed by Mykalai Kontilai who became the majority owner of the program. What could be considered a true stroke of irony, cable business network CNBC purchased the rights to show in February 2013 from NBR Worldwide and transferred the Miami news operations to their studios in New York City.
The show is still produced and distributed to PBS affiliates as a concise synopsis of the business happenings of that particular day.

Canada: RCMP spied on Rae during student days: documents

Bob Rae: Interim Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Former Premier of Ontario
OTTAWA – The RCMP spied on Bob Rae during his student activist days and likely amassed a personal dossier on the future Liberal leader, newly declassified documents reveal.
Mountie security agents, wary of late-1960s campus turmoil, kept a close eye on the University of Toronto student council — apparently relying on a secret informant to glean information about Rae and other council members.
The RCMP Security Service conducted widespread surveillance of universities, unions, peace groups and myriad other organizations during the Cold War in an effort to identify left-wing subversives.
A surprised Rae says he had no idea the RCMP was watching him.
"The notion that any of this posed a kind of a threat to the established order certainly would have come as news to all of us," he said in an interview.
"The only thing sinister, frankly, in all of this is how much of it was being recorded and reported and presumably being put in a file somewhere."
Hundreds of pages of RCMP files on the Students' Administrative Council at the University of Toronto were released to The Canadian Press by Library and Archives Canada.
The RCMP's intelligence branch was disbanded in 1984 following a series of scandals, and a new civilian agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, took over most domestic spying duties.
In 1968-69, Rae was a member of the student council led by Steven Langdon who, like Rae, would later serve as a New Democrat MP. The two were seen as moderates on a council that included more extreme representatives on both the left and right of the political spectrum.
Rae also helped put together large conferences, known as teach-ins — one on China and a followup on religion and politics for which Michael Ignatieff, another Liberal leader in the making, served as a principal organizer.
"It was an exciting time," Rae recalled. "We did manage to reform the governance of the University of Toronto. There was a lot of activism and discussion about ideas and about politics.
"That's what you do in university. The idea that there's a cop at the back of the room who's writing everything down — I guess that was also a reality of the time."
Rae became interim Liberal leader following Ignatieff's resignation from the post last year. As the party prepares for a biennial conference in Ottawa this weekend, there is renewed speculation that Rae is eyeing a run at the permanent leadership next year.
As a budding student politician, Rae was seized with issues including the university's plans for increasing graduate program enrolment and renovations to campus residences.
A secret and heavily redacted memo prepared by an RCMP sergeant on Nov. 4, 1968 — likely based on details from an informant — notes seven individuals including Rae were planning to meet to discuss student business.
A space after Rae's name is blacked out — almost certainly cloaking the number of the personal file the RCMP would have opened on him, said Steve Hewitt, author of Spying 101: The RCMP's Secret Activities at Canadian Universities, 1917-1997.
"So they're obviously interested in monitoring student politicians — who are the ones they need to keep a longer-term watch on, who are the real radicals?" said Hewitt.
For privacy reasons, the public is allowed access to RCMP files on individuals only 20 years after the person's death. While a number of files of historical value — including a large one on former NDP leader Tommy Douglas — were transferred to Library and Archives, many were destroyed.
Hewitt believes the RCMP file on Rae would have been preserved for posterity given that he was a young member of Parliament in the early 1980s before going on to become the first NDP premier of Ontario.
In an odd twist, Rae would later serve on the Security Intelligence Review Committee — the federally appointed watchdog that keeps an eye on CSIS — before re-entering politics as a Liberal. At the review committee he directly wrestled with the tension between the legitimate right to protest and security officials' fears of extremist activity.

Report: Gretchen Whitmer Admin Burns Notes, Destroys Emails of Coronavirus Probe
Kirthmon F. Dozier / USA TODAY NETWORK
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's administration has reportedly burned notes and destroyed emails from a coronavirus probe targeting the City of Port Huron for violating state rules.
According to the Detroit News, state Inspector Matthew Hartman of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) fined the City of Port Huron $6,300 after visiting on July 21 due to a complaint. The complaint reportedly alleged the city violated the state's coronavirus rules.
Hartman apparently fined the city without "witnessing anyone not wearing a mask" or "violating" coronavirus rules. Hartman reportedly claimed "employees he interviewed saw violations."
The city believes the fines were not lawful due to the Michigan Supreme Court previously ruling Gretchen Whitmer executive orders related to the enforced rule were unconstitutional.
"When asked about notes he took during the investigation and interviews, Hartman said he burned them," the News reported about Hartman questioned in a deposition by a city attorney. "The inspector also said he destroyed emails from his supervisor regarding the case."
It is unknown why the notes and emails were disposed of.

Port Huron's lawyer, Todd Shoudy, reportedly notified MIOSHA on October 15 he intended to next depose the agency's director, Bart Pickelman. But just 15 days later, the agency apparently said it would dismiss the case into the city of Port Huron.
Port Huron's city manager Manager James Freed has reportedly demanded MIOSHA be investigated over the incident. The state of Michigan reportedly cost the city up to $20,000 to repeal the state's case.
"My heart breaks for all the small businesses and mom-and-pops that didn't have an expert legal team, who didn't have the resources to put MIOSHA under oath," Freed told the Detroit News.
The Center Square suggests Hartman under deposition revealed "Whitmer's executive orders led MIOSHA's rule enforcement."
"So it sounds like the measure, the standard that you were measuring employers by, though, was the specific language of the executive orders in determining whether or not there was a general duty clause violation, true?" Shoudy reportedly asked in the disposition.
"I would say that's true, yes," Hartman responded.

It's a lot simpler to eliminate hair out of a screen than eliminating it off a pipe. Don't rely on drain cleaners constantly. Drain cleaners contain very corrosive chemicals that can actually damage pipes if used too frequently. If you do have a clogged drain, have a professional plumber examine the line. If you find yourself needing a plumber, make certain you do your research first before you hire one. A plumber with bad credentials might not skilled in a particular task could actually aggravate the problem. Always check the reviews on plumbers, or ask friends and family if they can recommend one. The valves that are not used. Maintain them with penetrating oil, turning each of them every now and then to prevent them from sticking. Plumbing requires more skill then just routing water from point A to point B. A more common task for a plumber is repairing water lines. More information about Trenchless Drain Repair Emory Tx.
How You Can Stop A Leaky Faucet Yourself Water may be the source of all life, but it is sometimes a nemesis to a homeowner with plumbing problems. There are not many things more devastating to a house faster than a major plumbing problem unfixed. To keep your pipes from freezing in the winter, don't let temperatures drop under freezing in your home, and be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. Your pipes can freeze if temperatures around it is below freezing. It could take time in order for the pipes to thaw so that you can have running water. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, as well - making a huge plumbing bill. If a water pipe freezes, turn on the water from the faucet nearest them to let water out when they start to thaw. This helps to relieve the pressure in the pipe and may prevent bursting, which would reduce the damage done to your house. Pump out your septic tank every five years to keep it in proper working well. Although it could cost a good deal of money to pump out your septic tank, it is nothing compared to what you will have to spend on cleaning up a backup of sewage or repairing or replacing your septic system. Never use your hands in your garbage disposal.

"We cannot thank you enough for our gorgeous new sofas. After 15 years we decided to change to our dream sofa, a chesterfield. With your expert advice we were able to work out what we wanted from fabric and colour to size. Even better you carried out a measuring service which was for us invaluable. It took all the stress out of the process for us. It was even not too much trouble to hold the sofas for us for a couple of weeks because of a delay with a new floor. Delivery was a breeze and at no time did we have to worry about any little detail because of the quality of both the service and workmanship. We have and continue to recommend you and will certainly be back again for other rooms. A special mention to Ian who went above and beyond and was very patient answering all our questions."
"Thank you for giving your opinion on The Designer Sofa. I must admit I did enjoy coming over to Royal Leamington Spa to do the home service you required. After we had done all the measuring and looked at fabric samples, I went to have a look around Leamington and fell in love with it and have been back with the family four times since, if it were not for you I would not have found out how beautiful it was around your hometown. We always put customers first, and of cause quality, many companies don't bother about quality and the customer when things go wrong. As you know, we have balances and check throughout the design process and when your work is finished, we invite you to the factory to examine your work before you pay the balance. Nothing ever leaves the factory unless"
"Top quality sofa, made to measure, choice of thousands of fabrics and cost no more than lesser quality sofas at some high street shops. Plus a 20-year guarantee. It's nice to find people who care about what they make and sell these days. Chris Jowett"
"Thank you, Chris We are a family firm and it`s nice to deal with a nice family like yourselves. We do appreciate the feedback it is important to use. Call in any time you are passing it would be good to see you all again."
"Had our Belvedere sofas from you years ago and now they need some TLC thank you for restoring them. Highest quality extremely pleased with the result. Excellent workmanship nice to meet the team who worked on our suite. It's our second suite from designer sofa would recommend to everyone."
"We are now getting so many of our customers returning to us after 10 to 20years of having their sofas from us. They either want new or like you want their furniture re-upholstering back to new condition. Even though your sofa was 14years old, it has been lovingly returned to its former glory. Amazingly because we have re-upholstered your work it still has 6 years of its 20-year guarantee to run, but it will last for many years to come and will outlast the furniture you get from the chain stores today."
"It is almost unique nowadays to be totally satisfied with any service, however I am. From advice, design, manufacture and delivery these guys are the best I have encountered. Will recommend them without hesitation."
"I am glad you like your Bed sofa, we are doing more of them over the last few years. We can put a sofa bed in our sofas and corner units, to give you an extra comfy bed in your home. Thank you from all the team."
"Thanks for restoring areas of our ten year old Tetrad sofas destroyed by our cats! They now look like new. The cats have also had their claws clipped! We are very pleased with your work."
"Thank you Pam, for the feedback, yes good idea to have the cat's claws clipped as your sofas look so good now. Ian & the Team"
"I have just received my wing back chair and I am more than delighted. Great customer service and workmanship."
"Your red wing back chair did look stunning in the red fabric you chose. The Wemyss Walbrook fabric is nice soft and looks great. thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Ian & Taz"
"I want to thank you for the building and delivery of our 2 Jordan sofas. They are robust and constructed to a very high standard, just what we need with a lively young family. The customer service from start to finish has been friendly and the advice has been both helpful and professional without being pushy. They are stylish pieces of furniture which are very comfy and would look great in any setting."
"Uninspired by lack of choice, quality and value for money from high street retailers and department stores, the Internet persuaded us a trip to Long Eaton might be worthwhile. So pleased we did as the service afforded by Taz and his team was first class. From a picture we provided from a magazine, we had made a snuggler and a sofa in matching fabrics. At a cost no higher than we could have paid on the high street, we have two beautiful and unique pieces of furniture that we are absolutely delighted with. We would recommend anyone looking for quality and service and unable to find it on the high street, make the trip to The Designer Sofa at Long Eaton."
"A lot of people cannot find what they want on the high street and when they do the quality is not high enough. Smart shoppers like you think outside the box and think there must be more than the High Street and brands you see on the TV. This is where the designer sofa comes in, we can cater for your every need whether you want a really large sofa or small sofa, it's no problem for us. The looks of your sofa are important too, you can design your own sofa round the looks and quality that suits you. Thank You Ian"

Igalim () or Igalimma () was a Mesopotamian god from the local pantheon of the state of Lagash. He was closely associated with Ningirsu, possibly originating as the personification of the door of his temple, and was regarded as a member of his family. His older brother was Shulshaga and his mother was Bau, as already attested in Early Dynastic sources. Until the end of the Ur III period he was worshiped in Lagash and Girsu, where he had a temple, though he also appears in a number of later texts.

Name and character
The consensus view is that Igalima's name can be translated as "door of the bison". It has been proposed that he was the personification of the gate of Ningirsu's temple, and the cuneiform sign alim in his name metaphorically referred to said god, rather than to a real animal. An inscription of Gudea refers to Igalim as a divine "high bailiff" (gal5-lá-gal). It is presumed this was his primary role.

Igalim's name should not be confused with the similar theonym Iglulim, which is not a genitive construction and refers to a different deity.

Igalim's iconography is not known, as while it has been proposed that depictions of a bull carrying a winged gate on its back are his symbol, this view found no universal support due to lack of examples from the area he was worshiped in.

Associations with other deities
Ningirsu was regarded as Igalim's father, while Shulshaga, described as the eldest son of this god, as his older brother. Ningirsu's wife, Bau, was regarded as the mother of both of the brothers. It is presumed that these four deities were already viewed as a family in the Early Dynastic period. In the majority of texts from Lagash Igalim appears after Shulshaga if both of them are invoked at once, which presumably reflects his junior status.

Due to the well attested analogy between Ningirsu and Ninurta, Igalim appears in association with the latter in the composition Ninurta D. A text from Kish, BM 33055, refers to Igalim and Shulshaga as the weapons of Zababa, while on the tablet STT 400 they are grouped with the deified weapons of Ninazu, Šulazida ("hero of the right hand") and Šulagubbu ("hero of the right hand").

In a hymn to Nungal, Igalim is attested as a member of the court of this goddess, specifically as her "high warden" (nu-bànda-maḫ). This association might be linked to the role assigned to him in the inscription of Gudea.

Worship
Igalim belonged to the pantheon of Lagash. He is already attested in sources contemporary with the early texts from Fara. The oldest dedicatory inscription mentioning him comes from the reign of Uru'inimgina and commemorates the construction of his temple Emeḫušgalanki, "house which holds the terrible me of heaven and earth". The same temple is also mentioned in an inscription of Gudea. It was located in Girsu. According to Tonia Sharlach, the temples of Igalim and Shulshaga in the state of Lagash in the Early Dynastic period, as well as their various dependencies (such as fields or fisheries) were maintained by the sons of the reigning monarch or, if they were too young to fulfill this role, by their mother. Igalim's clergy is attested in textual sources under the generic term "people of Igalim" (lú dIg-alim), analogous to these used to refer to groups connected to Bau and Shulshaga. Igalim is attested in various Early Dynastic offering lists from Lagash focused on the deities from the circle of Ningirsu and Bau, for example as a recipient of sheep or goats, in some cases alongside Shulshaga. He was celebrated during the festival of his mother in Girsu (alongside deities such as Ninshubur, Ninazu or Ḫegir) and during another, focused on his father, which might have taken place in th city of Lagash.

A statuette dedicated by Shulgi to Igalim has been found in Telloh (Girsu). He refers to him as the "beloved son of Ningirsu" in the accompanying inscription. It is the only identified royal inscription from the Ur III period dedicated to this god.

Active worship of Igalim is only attested until the end of the Ur III period. In the later Old Babylonian Nippur god list he appears as the 77th of the deities enumerated, before Nergal and in the proximity of other underworld deities, which according to Jeremiah Peterson might be a reflection of his association with Nungal. In the Canonical Temple List, most likely composed in the Kassite period, his temple Emeḫušgalanki occurs as the 498th entry.

After the summer, I always get a rather large bout of writer's block. This isn't new to me, it's been happening ever since I became serious about writing. But this year was a little different. I wrote more this summer than I've written any other summer, and I came back to school feeling drained and exhausted, like the river of words that has always run through me ran dry. All my humanities assignments sucked every last bit of writing energy out of me, and my journal and notes app having been filling with dust and cobwebs since September. By November, I felt extremely guilty about not having written for a while. I tried to force whatever poetry I could out of me. I turned to old sources of inspiration, because nothing around me was inspiring anymore. Writing felt like a tedious chore, and I hated that. That's the thing; I can't write if I feel pressured. And I was pressuring myself.

Back in the Race: An Interview with Montblanc's Managing Director of Watchmaking Laurent Lecamp at W&W 2022
Watches & Wonders 2022 was a blast! But one of the most engaging and (for lack of a better word) energetic encounters I had was my interview with Laurent Lecamp, Managing Director of the Watch Division at Montblanc. Here is why.
By Ash Longet
Communication & Project Manager
I've been fortunate enough to observe Montblanc, one of the fastest-growing brands, up close for the past few years. And it seems that after Watches & Wonders 2022, we can truly recognize how far the Montblanc Watch Division has come, making breakthroughs in the brand's horological pursuits and strategic approach to the historical Maison of Minerva.
"I started in January 2022 in my new position at Montblanc, and I've put a huge amount of energy into this company. I changed a few things that were a bit classical for me, and we are putting the brand back in the race," stated Laurent Lecamp.
I sat down with Laurent to discuss some advanced product developments, successful partnerships with renowned mark makers, and his take on sustainability.
Montblanc's First Diver
For the first time since the watchmaking division's inaugural model in 1997, the historically mountaineering brand has introduced a true dive watch: the 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date. It's especially intriguing for its impressive value proposition ($2,975 on a rubber strap and $3,190 on a stainless steel bracelet).
Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date
Apart from being ISO 6425 certified, which is the norm for dive watches, the new Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date presents quite a striking dial. "The concept of this unique design of the dial will now be with Montblanc for many years to come," Laurent told Watchonista.
To make a long story short, the new diver's dial reproduces the pattern of the glacial lake of the Mont-Blanc Massif. Ascending via the Chamonix Valley to the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice), the maison's designers were captivated by the texture of the glacial ice and its interlocking network of crystals that have been frozen in time for millennia.
And fittingly, the common thread of my discussion with Laurent was sustainability: "While elaborating this timepiece, we clearly asked to have somehow an 'organic' dial. All the products we are using are organic, so there are no issues with pollution," noted Laurent.
Nirmal Purja & the 0 Oxygen Timepiece
If you don't know who Nirmal (also called Nimsdai) Purja is, he is one of the most ground-breaking mountaineers of our generation. Born in Nepal in 1983, the man summited the world's 14 highest 8,000-meter peaks in an astonishingly scant seven months, smashing the previous record for the fastest ascent (which was eight years). Now, Purja has become the new mark maker of the maison.
Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen LE290
"I met Nimsdai for the first time at the Everest Summit, and Nimsdai suggested we should work together. Sometime later, I had dinner with our own mark maker, the legendary alpinist Reinhold Messner, asking him if he would be able to collaborate with Montblanc on a project. The goal would be the ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen while wearing another novelty that we present here at Watches & Wonders 2022. That novelty is the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen Limited Edition. Without hesitation, Reinhold put forward the name of Nimsdai," Laurent told Watchonista.
Continuing, he said: "So, in May 2022, Nimsdai will undertake the expedition to the summit of Mount Everest, and moreover, what he is doing in the next 2-3 years will be mind-blowing. No one will expect what comes next."
There are quite a few impressive things about the 1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen Limited Edition. First of all, as its name suggests, there is zero oxygen inside the case. Instead, it has been replaced by nitrogen. And this is only made possible via one method – if the watchmaker assembles the timepiece in a chamber with zero oxygen.
And that is precisely what Montblanc has done.
Another first for the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere line is the arrival of a chronograph function that can be used to record elapsed time of various operations on the mountain. But what about the zero-oxygen environment of the watch? Isn't that compromised the first time you engage the chronograph function? As Laurent assured me, "Even when you click on the pushers, a special system protects oxygen from penetrating into the watch."
The new complication is powered by Montblanc's brand-new MB 29.27 automatic chronograph movement. Thus, the new model comes with a central chronograph seconds hand, a 30-minute chronograph sub-dial at three o'clock, and a chronograph hour at nine o'clock.
Back to Basics with Minerva
Besides Montblanc branching out into new categories of timepieces with its new divers, Laurent Lecamp has resolved to make the historical manufacture of Minerva, known for its stopwatches, shine again.
"We discovered that in 1927, the Minerva Manufacture in Villeret was among the very first manufactures to make a fluted bezel and an internal count down," he told me. "So this year, we introduce the new 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph Red Arrow Limited Edition. And just to give you fair warning, this fluted bezel will be the new signature of Minerva. We will be bringing this concept to all of our new creations."

So, the key elements from the past highlighted in this limited edition of 88 pieces include an 18K white gold fluted bezel, which was easy to use with pilots gloves, and the maison's signature red arrow, which allowed for quick and easy reading of elapsed time. Finally, the red arrow is a nod to the Roman Goddess Minerva, the goddess of craftsmanship, who carried a spear with an arrow at its tip.
"If I bring something from the past, I have to understand how this tool or that watch was used at the time in order to respect every single detail," explained Laurent. "Another important and astonishing detail is that all the pieces are hand-made as there are no machines in the Villeret manufacture."

While this timepiece definitely represents the Montblanc of today, it does so in a vintage way, leaving more space and attention to the Minerva logo and codes of the manufacture.
Montblanc & Sustainability
Laurent also took some time to explain his approach to sustainability within the walls of Montblanc and Minerva, saying: "How many years of warranty should we offer for a watch so that it remains sustainable? That is a good question.
"So, our longtime vision of sustainability lies in the fact that we can repair a watch that dates as far back as 1905, as was the case with one of our clients a few weeks ago. How many brands nowadays can really repair a watch that is over 100 years old? Not many. And, for me, that is the real sustainability."

The Woman of Reason: On the Re-appropriation of Rationality and the Enjoyment of Philosophy
Pieranna Garavaso
First Online: 20 December 2015
Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science book series (BSPS, volume 317)
This paper starts out from two feminist criticisms of classical logic, namely Andrea Nye's general rejection of logic and Val Plumwood's criticism of the standard notion of negation in classical logic. I then look at some of Gottlob Frege's reflections on negation in one of his later Logical Investigations. It will appear clear that Frege's notion of negation is not easily pegged in the general category of 'Otherness' that Plumwood uses to characterize negation in classical logic. In the second half of the paper, I discuss the claim that the adversarial method of argumentation in philosophy is hostile to feminist goals and perhaps responsible for the low numbers of women engaged in academic philosophy. Against this hypothesis, I claim that a more naturalistic perspective on logic can avoid essentialism and provide a feminist friendly and pluralist view of logic, human reasoning, and philosophical argumentation.

Q: Animation fade | jQuery vs pure js | setInterval vs. setTimeout I have this tested function below that works fine for fading an element in or out.
What do I gain by using JQuery?
Thanks
Effects.prototype.fade = function( direction, max_time,  element )
{
    var elapsed = 0;
    function next() {
        elapsed += 10;
        if (direction === 'up')
        {

        }
        else if (direction === 'down')
        {
            element.style.opacity = (max_time - elapsed) / max_time;
        }
        if (elapsed <= max_time) {

A: Usually you don't include a library like jQuery just for a single effect, but as a general purpose library in order to simplify things such as DOM manipulation, AJAX calls, setting CSS properties in a way that's cross-browser, in addition to applying effects (such as .fadeIn/.fadeOut) and other applications.
Tipically it's recommended you don't add jQuery for just a simple call. But my reasoning is that you are probably be going to exploit more and more of it's features in the long run, so I don't see a real reason not to use it.
On the subject of implementing your own fadeIn or fadeOut functions, you could look at the jQuery source and extract those methods, or make your own implementation from scratch. But given the fact that jQuery already implemented this method, I don't see why you would want to replicate it, other than for educational purposes.

A: The biggest reason to use JQuery over your custom code, in my opinion, is that you don't have to maintain the code for multiple browsers and multiple versions.  JQuery does a good job of handling the quirks of the major browsers for you.
In addition, there are many other excellent uses for JQuery that you may want to use later.
Concerning the code, when you download JQuery: http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery  you can get the uncompressed version, which is intended to be readable.
I don't know of a simple way to get only those functions out of JQuery.  Why not use the full library?
