Janet For Congress?
Viewers loved Janet because she seemed vulnerable. Politics commands a thick skin. Can vulnerable and thick skin coexist? We'll see.
The emails have trickled in over the last few days. Janet Peckinpaugh is thinking about running for the 2nd District congressional seat held by Joe Courtney. She'd be running for the Republican nomination against Daria Novak (who has appeared on this blog… and was a good sport about it).
I'd better throw in some back story, because as big as Janet was you might not know who she is!
Back in the 1980s the Connecticut television news race was divided this way: Channel 3, everyone else. In this case everyone else was mainly Channel 8. Channel 30 with much less reach as a difficult to tune in UHF station was specklike. Channel 61 wasn't yet on-the-air.
The company that owned Channel 8 made a decision to get competitive. That was gutsy because WTNH was more profitable than WFSB! It had a smaller audience but also spent a lot less. The owner, Capital Cities Communications, moved their hotshot news director, Mike Sechrist, to New Haven from Fresno. Then they opened their wallet.
Not every move Mike made worked, but one was so successful it trumped everything else (next to hiring me, of course). He hired a young, sweet looking, Janet Peckinpaugh. I seem to remember her coming from Richmond, VA–but don't hold me to that.
I can't explain Janet's success except to say she had that magical "it" that make some people on TV stand out. Actually, Janet didn't have "it" as much as she had "IT!!!." She was vulnerable and approachable. She was very pretty but not where women didn't wanted their husband's watching her.
With Janet (and a rejuvenated Al Terzi) our audience grew until we caught Channel 3 at 6:00 PM–an amazing achievement.
Helaine and I were friendly with Janet. She was always very nice to me on-the-air and off. We went to her spectacular wedding atop Hartford Steam Boiler Company. It was probably the most glamorous affair I've ever attended.
Then, for reasons still not clear to me, Janet left and the station wallowed. Think balloon and pin!
As is often the case in TV her earlier success did not follow her up I-91.
She was later involved in an ugly lawsuit and finally anchored at Channel 30. When last I saw her on-air she was the anchor on infomercials for a mortgage company.
Am I surprised she's considering congress? Yeah. Not that I think about Janet often, but even if I did I'd never make this leap. OK, I haven't known her for over twenty years. Everyone changes. Maybe a smoldering political fire has finally come to life?
Maybe there's something in the DNA of people who do what we do? I have often thought about running for Congress. I have too much respect for my incumbent congresswoman to ever seriously consider that, but the thought's there in the abstract&185.
We all have dirty laundry. Helaine reminds me of mine all the time. Imagine if your life was poked and prodded at by an opponent who wanted you gone! I'm not sure Janet's so special in that regard, but maybe.
When Kevin Rennie blogged about this yesterday the mean comments weren't far behind! Her unquestioned sweetness of the 80s is now questioned.
&#185 – After writing this entry a co-worker called me out for this paragraph. She said I made it sound like I could beat Rosa but won't. I can see how that might be the impression. Let me clarify.
Rosa DeLauro is unbeatable in this district. Right now you would have to be a fool or extreme doctrinaire to run against her. There's a reason few who want to serve in Congress do. There are people like Rosa already there.
To me that's OK because I like Rosa.
God, I hope that's more clear now.

My 25th Anniversary At The TV Station
Sure, there will be more talented people. There might even be people who will stay longer–though that seems doubtful. But no one will ever be seen by audiences as large as we had in the 80s and 90s.
I remember driving back to meet Helaine after seeing Mike Sechrist in the spring of 1984. "I didn't get it," I told her. "They want someone older."
I'd seen Mike hoping to fill his weather opening in New Haven. It wasn't destined to be. But, surprise, I did get it–the weather job at WTNH.
I began May 21, 1984. Thursday was my 25th anniversary.
I can't remember what kind of day it was when I started, but I do know I sat with Al Terzi, Gerri Harris and Bob Picozzi in front of a blank blue wall. We had no real set. All the backgrounds and frames were inserted using chromakey.
I did my first tease before my first weathercast saying a few words and ending with, "Well, how am I doing so far?" It was a line I'd first used on my first day in radio–probably stolen from someone much more clever. Gerri looked at me as if I'd just parachuted in from Mars.
In my 25 years she was one of two anchors who obviously 'didn't get me.' Al, on the other hand, laughed at every joke I told–funny or not. What Al did was like comedy kindling and it helped establish me.
I have survived four general managers (with a fifth soon-to-be hired), ten news directors and scores of producers. I have outlived all the other on-air people at Channel 8 that day in 1984. Considering I'd bounced around radio for 11 years before getting to Connecticut that's quite a feat.
I don't know how it came about… these 25 years. It's nothing you aim for. I seem to remember thinking of WTNH as a good stepping stone, not a final resting place. And yet I stayed.
For a while I filled in for ABC on Good Morning America. Maybe I thought the network would come calling–but they didn't. So I stayed and stayed and stayed.
I built a very good life first for Helaine and then Stefanie. My parents moved to the area and then moved away. We set down roots. I tried to give back, especially with charity work.
You don't go to work on day one hoping to stay 25 years. I certainly didn't. It's all one day at-a-time and then, all of a sudden, those days begin to add up. Prospective employers look at people who change jobs a lot as having baggage. Once you've stayed too long you're looked at the same way.
There will never be another Geoff Fox in Connecticut. Sure, there will be more talented people. There might even be people who will stay longer–though that seems doubtful. But no one will ever be seen by audiences as large as we had in the 80s and 90s. That tonnage is gone. It's affect is cumulative over the years.
I have a great job. I enjoy coming to work nearly every day. Even after 25 years no one will ever accuse me of phoning it in. I am a well defined personality and though lots of people like me, there's also a sizable contingent who don't.
No gold watch today, I got a plaque. I'm taking off Friday but I'll be back Monday.

What Is Journalism?
It's probably a good time to delve into this because there are two interesting journalism stories.
Who is a journalist? What is journalism? It's probably a good time to delve into this because there are two interesting journalism stories unfolding today.
Who broke the John Edwards affair? The National Enquirer. Ouch, mainstream media. How'd you let that one slip away? And the Enquirer has been all over this story for a while. They also broke the Monica Lewinsky story. This is not your father's, "Elvis Spotted At K-Mart" Enquirer.
I heard Steve Plamann, senior executive editor of the National Enquirer interviewed on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" today. He gladly admitted the paper's sensationalist bent. They are after all, by his admission, a supermarket tabloid. But, does that disqualify them from being taken seriously or breaking stories?
Should the NY Times follow the Enquirer as they certainly do the Wall Street Journal or Washington Post? Do you disregard them at your own risk? I'll answer my own question. They disregarded the Edwards story and it doesn't reflect well on them.
Is the National Enquirer journalism? I think they are, but who makes this judgement?
The second journalistic fork in the road has to do with CNN's decision to rely on more "one-man-bands" populating single person bureaus. Here's how TVNewser reported it:
"Yesterday CNN announced it was expanding its domestic presence by opening bureaus in 10 U.S. cities. The press release called it a doubling of U.S. newsgathering. But when a 28-year-old company expands you can bet there will be changes to existing personnel too. And that is the case with CNN.
TVNewser has learned that after the announcement of the new bureaus and soon to be added "all-platform journalists," nine CNN staffers were told their jobs were going to be redefined. We're told the staffers are not being laid off, but being offered positions in the new structure.
The staffers work in cities including Chicago, San Francisco and Miami. As NPR's David Folkenflik reported this morning, "let's be clear [CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein] is only really talking about adding a handful of new staffers. Others will be redeployed in less-covered places like Columbus, Ohio, Orlando and Seattle.""
Is it less journalistcally pure when a single person covers a story instead of a crew? Is there something lost when a reporter also has to concentrate of his/her equipment during the time they used to be concentrating on the person speaking?
Video gear has become smaller, cheaper and easier to operate. I certainly could report and produce a news story on my own, but would that story suffer? I have colleagues who will argue the story will suffer and other friends, like Mike Sechrist, who truly believes we're foolish to not take advantage of this technology.
There are a lot of constituencies involved here beyond the public who consumes this journalistic product. I am curious to see how this will shake out. This is a time when journalistic traditions might change rapidly.

TV 2.0
I seldom do this, but it's my blog! This entry is an explanation and expansion of a comment left in the previous entry by Mike Sechrist.
Geoff:
If anyone had any questions about the revolution going on in our business you just answered them. An interesting piece shot on a $30 camcorder and edited with software that can be found on most PC's. It may say Meteorologist on the resume but you should add VJ underneath. I wish we could have seen the deli.
A little background on Mike. He hired me in New Haven 23 years ago. He was news director then, but later became a TV general manager, running WKRN in Nashville.
Mike is one of the biggest proponents of VJs, or video journalists. The whole VJ concept is based on the assumption technology allows greater productivity in TV without injuring the product. If a crew is one, rather than two, people, you can cover twice as many stories with the same number of people.
Of course, the fear within the universe of TV employees is, you can cover just as many stories with half the number of people… and what business wouldn't cut their costs like that if they could?
I remember counting heads in the ABC control room, back when I used to fill-in on Good Morning America. There were better than a dozen folks on the payroll in the control room. I walked into our control room in New Haven on Friday night. Three! Technology at work.
I produced my little travelogue with a minimal amount of equipment. It was not broadcast quality, but it wasn't terrible. And, for a motivated audience, where content is much more important than production values, my $30 camcorder is all that's needed.
Mike worked hard to unlock the value of technology for his station. Going forward, I think the real value lies elsewhere. VJ type equipment can allow one or two people to produce narrowly focused, very salable content. Think of the show being the end product, not the station.
The example I often use is a fellow employee at the TV station who's a prolific knitter. She's got the skills necessary to produce a daily, weekly or even unscheduled video knitting show.
Unlike the conventional TV model, older content stays online forever (How many changes are there in knitting from year-to-year?), using search engines and word of mouth to attract new viewers along the way and providing a library of revenue producing programming. In computing parlance, this evergreen content is called 'long tail.'
Because the programming would be narrowly focused, each viewer would likely be worth more to an advertiser (knitting needles, yarn, patterns, etc). The whole concept of comparing CPM for an ad buy is turned on its ear because there are so few wasted viewers.
To a certain extent PhotoshopTV is doing this now. So is or-live, which presents surgical procedures live and recorded on demand, on their website.
Programs like Diggnation or Rocketboom, which are more broadly aimed, do not fit my revenue model, even though they are using the technology as I picture it being used.
There is money to be made for specialists who can produce their own material. It could be a show on ham radio or child rearing or golf or any number of topics. Content rules! If there's an connective interest and someone selling a product your audience might buy, the rest is academic!
Even better, distribution is much easier than TV or cable, since anyone can set up a website instantly&#185 and bandwidth costs continue to drop rapidly.
Startup costs for a TV station are in the millions… often tens of millions of dollars. Start up costs for these web narrowcasts can be in the thousands, though often, hundreds of dollars!
I've been toying around with an idea for a web show myself. All I need is a little motivation. I figure a half dozen episodes in the can should get me started. I already have everything I need to produce it at home!
That's crazy, isn't it? I already have everything I need at home.
&#185 – How instantly can you set up a site? My boss bought an iPhone and set up a website to go with it! If he's spent $25 on the website, he's gone overboard.

Waitress – Saturday At The Movies
Stef is away today, celebrating the graduation of one of her sorority sisters. Helaine and I decided to go to the movies tonight.
We headed to the Criterion in New Haven for Waitress, starring Keri Russell.
The movie is the story of a waitress, in a loveless marriage, who finds herself both unwontedly pregnant and in love with her married gynecologist.
I suppose this is what's called a small movie. It is heavily dependent on its very stylized look and really sharp cast. The story is simple and sweet
The movie itself is set in a small, seemingly downscale southern town. Much of the action takes place at a diner which specializes in pies – many expertly baked by Jenna (Keri Russell).
Andy Griffith (around my dad's age, but looking much older) is excellent as Old Joe, the owner of the diner. More importantly, he is the uninvited elder philosopher in Jenna's life. He will receive an Oscar nomination for this role.
I'm not sure how to explain this, but Earl (Jeremy Sisto), Jenna's husband, is the least appealing (most repulsive) character I've ever seen in a film, without resorting to over-the-top characterization. He was just realistically creepy – not an easy task.
Helaine noticed Jenna's love interest, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) looked like a young Mike Sechrist. Mike's a friend of mine.
I enjoyed this movie. Helaine enjoyed it even more. That's probably going to be typical of many couples. It was a great Saturday afternoon date with my wife and a borderline chick flick.
Footnote:We like going to the movies, and this theater is nice and new. However, the print we saw was terrible. Here is the note I sent to the company that owns the theater.
My wife and I saw the 4:00 PM Saturday showing of Waitress at your New Haven theater. We like going to the movies and we're glad you're in New Haven. We're glad the city is coming back and drove past another theater to get to you.
Unfortunately, the print for Waitress was horrendous. There were horizontal scratches visible for the entire show.
When I told a friend, he described the exact same scratches when he had seen Dreamgirls. Is there some sort of equipment problem in your theater that's killing the prints?
I'm not asking for a refund. All I want to know is, you've gotten my message and you'll fix the problem.
Here's their response:
We are unaware of any print problems in New Haven, and will address the situation immediately. I can assure you though, there is no recurring problem at that theater.

The Stuff You Find
Our house cleaning continues. As it turns out, we hadn't thrown out financial papers in… well, we'd just never thrown them out and we've been married for nearly 23 years!
Helaine stopped at Staples and bought a small shredder. She's been working her way through our papers, a sheet or two at a time. I pointed out, we could have just thrown them in the fireplace and lit a match!
Here are two interesting pieces of paper – neither of any real value.
The first is the receipt from sending an audition tape to Mike Sechrist in New Haven. This little $9.35 investment turned into my job of the last 22 years. Pretty decent ROI!
The second is a receipt from PEOPLExpress for $23. It was the first real discount airline. You paid for your ticket on the plane! Often, they would board through the 'normal' and rear stairs.
Yup, you'd climb in through the tail!
Though it was good, in that it led to lower fares, PEOPLExpress is also responsible for cattle car crowding (and they did it on old DC9s), hub and spoke routing, less than scrupulous adherence to a schedule and the end of gracious service onboard.
I once saw a comedian who said the two most spoken words at PEOPLExpress' Newark terminal (and old, non-air conditioned hangar) were, "Never again."

Seven Thousand Three Hundred Five Days
Seven thousand three hundred five days ago, Connecticut still had toll booths on I-95 and the Merritt Parkway. There was no state income tax. Our governor, William O'Neill, was a tavern owner.
Back then, WTNH was a middle aged television station, owned by Capitol Cities Communications – before it bought ABC. It was second place in what was, for all intents and purposes, a 2 station market. A station with an identity crisis, not knowing whether to be Connecticut's station or just concentrate on New Haven. It was making money hand-over-fist, which tended to minimize their concern.
On May 21, 1984, One thousand forty three weeks and four days ago, I walked into Channel 8 as an employee. If you would have told me twenty years ago that I'd still be there today, I'd have called you a fool. In my 11 years in radio, I had worked all over the country. No job had ever run more than 3 or 4 years – and most were much shorter.
Al Terzi (WFSB), Gerri Harris (who knows) and Diane Smith (WTIC radio, CPTV), were our main anchors. Bob Picozzi (ESPN radio, UConn Women's basketball play-byplay) was our sports director. Our news director, the guy who hired me, was Mike Sechrist (General Manager WKRN – Nashville). His assistant, Wendie Feinberg (Executive Producer Nightly Business Report – PBS). In the control room, Tom O'Brien (General Manager KXAS – Dallas) and Jeff Winn (Fox Sports "Best Damned Sports…").
Of all the on-air and management personnel at the station that day, only I am left. I have survived 4 different owners, 4 general managers, 10 news directors and countless dozens of assistants, producers, reporters and anchors.
Still, I often ask myself, where have I gone wrong?
That's not to say my professional life hasn't been good. In fact, it's been great. This is a very rewarding job and the people who watch have been generous in their support, while my bosses have been… well, they've been generous too. I just wonder, what if?
Have I missed the bright lights of the big city? Would I have been able to compete at that level?
Today, if I were looking for work elsewhere, would I be taken seriously? A few years longevity is a good thing, but twenty years in New Haven makes it seem like I've been unable to escape.
Since I have been at WTNH, only four of the on-air people hired were older than I was at the time – and three of those came within my first year. This is a business of the young… and I say that even though this station isn't anywhere near as youth obsessed as some others.
I remember early in my radio career, seeing people who'd been in one place too long, who were now just going through the motions. I promised myself that would never be me. I've kept my word.
It is still important to me, after all this time, to know whether I've entertained or not. There are no gimmes. A bad Friday night 11:00 weathercast can ruin my weekend… ask my wife.
Even tonight, I brought home a snippet of tape because a few seconds of well timed on-air chatter with the floor director seemed memorable. Every show counts. I am never unhappy to go to work. I have never taken, or needed, a 'mental health' day.
I still have my fantasy jobs – things I'd like to do and sometimes even dream about. I'd like to do a game show. I'd like to do a sit down fun chat show. I'd like to fill-in again on Good Morning America. Who knows?
I worry about losing a little off the fastball – about someone up-and-coming who might want my job. I worry about a new owner or manager who might not care that I've put twenty years in. After all, in the 21st century, company loyalty is something employees have toward companies… not the other way around.
About 15 years ago, my agent said there would come a time when I'd want to shave ten years off my age. I think I could actually pass with that lie. Until recently, I'd regularly get viewer mail telling me to stop coloring my hair… even though it's never been colored. But, I won't lie about my age because I'm proud to have the experience and knowledge that only comes with being 53.
I am not sorry that I've made it to 20 years. I am not disappointed in what I've accomplished. I have a wonderful life. I only wonder where the other paths led.

In the early days of the American republic, newspapers were actually started by political parties, leading political figures and even presidents—to get their point of view across.
Alexander Hamilton, for example, helped establish The Gazette of the United States, "a paper of pure Toryism," according to Thomas Jefferson, "disseminating the doctrines of monarchy, aristocracy, and the exclusion of the people." To offset this influence, Jefferson and Madison helped establish the National Gazette, an outspoken critic of the administrations of Adams, Hamilton, and Washington, and an ardent advocate of the French Revolution.
How times have changed. Although many newspapers still have the word "Democrat" in their titles and a few have the word "Republican" there really aren't any newspapers today that could be regarded as organs of a political party—unless .... (strange as it may be) ... you count The New York Times itself!
Even though the Times is still regarded by journalists as "the paper of record," its unsigned editorials and the editorials of its flagship writer, Paul Krugman, are increasingly hard to distinguish from the party line of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Now if you are an honest liberal there are all kinds of interesting subjects to editorialize on these days—the sorry state of the public schools, the deplorable state of veterans' health, the personal tragedies emerging in the Obamacare health insurance exchanges, the existence of inexplicable poverty amidst a bloated welfare state. But if you are shilling for the DNC, these subjects are potential minefields.
You can't criticize the public schools without risking offense to the teachers' unions (the most important constituency in the Democratic coalition) and school board members who are almost always Democrats wherever the schools are bad.
You can't criticize veterans' health care without addressing the right to see private doctors, and that means "privatization" and that is an anathema to public sector unions everywhere.
You can't discuss Obamacare without giving aid and comfort to Republican critics.
You can't criticize the welfare system because it's almost completely run by Democrats in every city of any size.
Interestingly, the very best information in all of these areas comes from really good exposés written by New York Times reporters. Take Obamacare. The Times has published a series of heart wrenching stories about patients being effectively denied care because of narrow networks and ridiculously large deductibles. All this should be fertile territory for opining. Why are we having these problems? Where did Obamacare go wrong? These are questions editorial writers for the Times dare not ask.
In general, the more interesting the subject, the harder it is to write an editorial that passes muster with the Democratic establishment. It's even harder when the DNC has decided that Hillary Clinton is the candidate of choice.
For at least a decade, Krugman has been telling his readers that single payer health insurance is superior to our health care system, that public insurance is more efficient and equitable that private insurance, and that markets don't work in health care. But now Bernie Sanders is saying those very same things, while Hilary Clinton is defending the Obamacare marketplaces, private insurance and the profit motive.
So what does Krugman do? Stick to what he's always believed? Or, take one for the team, recant all his previous thoughts and defend Hillary? If you don't already know, read this.
Then there is the issue of money in politics. How do you write editorial after editorial on this subject (as both Krugman and the editors have done) without ever once mentioning that the worst offenders are Bill and Hillary? It's even more of a challenge when Bernie Sanders hardly lets a day go by without mentioning $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and transcripts of speeches that Hillary refuses to make public. Then there are the periodic leaks from the State and Justice departments connecting the dots between contributions to the Clinton Foundation and official State Department business.

The 'Prima' apple is one of the modern disease resistant cultivars of domesticated apple which was bred by the PRI disease resistant apple breeding program in 1958.
Like other "PRI" apples it is of complex ancestry to ensure the utmost disease resistance and various cultivation advantages, along with a fresh vibrant flavor. Its ancestry includes the 'Rome Beauty', 'Melba', 'Golden Delicious' and 'Wealthy' apples, as well as the Malus floribunda crabapple for scab resistance. "PRI" is impressed in the cultivars name "PRI"ma.
It is very resistant to apple scab and have some resistance against the other common diseases. It has a juicy flesh with a balanced mild sub-acid flavour, a red flushed skin over yellow background. It doesn't fall off the tree, and like most early harvest apple it doesn't keep well, even with refrigeration.

Italy ( i/ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and has a largely Mediterranean and temperate climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale (the Boot). With 61 million inhabitants, it is the 4th most populous EU member state. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City.
Since ancient times, Greeks, Etruscans and Celts have inhabited the south, centre and north of the Italian Peninsula respectively. Rome ultimately emerged as the dominant power, conquering much of the ancient world and becoming the leading cultural, political, and religious centre of Western civilisation. The legacy of the Roman Empire is widespread and can be observed in the global distribution of civilian law, Republican governments, Christianity and the latin script.

Roman Italy was created officially by the Roman Emperor Augustus with the Latin name Italia. It was the first time in history that the Italian peninsula (from the Alps to the Ionian Sea) was united under the same name. In the year 292, the three islands of Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily were added to Roman Italy by Emperor Diocletianus.
Italy (Italia in Latin and Italian) was the name of the administrative division of the Italian peninsula during the Roman era. It was not a province, but became the territory of the city of Rome, thus having a special status. Following the end of the Social War (91–88 BC), Rome had allowed its Italian allies (socii) full rights in Roman society and granted the Roman citizenship to all the Italic peoples.
After having been for centuries the heart of the Empire, from the 3rd century the government and the cultural center began to move eastward: first the Edict of Caracalla in 212 AD extended Roman citizenship to all free men within the imperial boundaries, then during Constantine's reign (306–337) the seat of the Empire was moved to Constantinople in 330 AD.

It's been a heartbreaking week and a half in Texas.
I've talked to many people in recent days who have said something along the lines of, "it's so awful to watch.... I feel like there is nothing I can do." In some ways that is true. And, there is always something we can do.
I've rounded up some websites, links, and information related to things we can do to help both the people and the animals of Texas, along with a few of of the most inspiring moments I've seen and read about this week. NPR has also created a great list of resources and ways to help, as part of this article.
I lived in Cedar Rapids for two years between 2013 and 2015. Cedar Rapids was hit by a massive flood in 2008, and the city is, still today, trying to recover. We can expect the impact of the devastation in Texas to span many years, as well. For this reason, while thinking about donations and ways to help, it can be useful to not only donate now, but also to make a note to donate again in 6 months, a year, or two years.
Red Cross - donate online, or by texting HARVEY to 90999 (note: the text-based donation is currently backed up due to high volume.
AirBnB is waiving all fees anyone impacted by the flood and checking in between August 25th and September 25th, 2017. There is also an option to offer your space for free.
Keller Williams Real Estate repurposed Mega Camp, their annual conference in Austin, into Mega Relief - where associates will work with community partners to focus on relief efforts.
Dozens of people formed a human chain to save an elderly man whose car was trapped by flood waters.
"I'm going to go try to save some lives."

Volkswagen 'encouraged' to resume IPO for truck unit Traton
Volkswagen had said that it could list up to 25 percent of Traton in a deal anticipated to be worth $6.7 bn
Automobile giant Volkswagen plans to resume preparations for its truck unit Traton's IPO. At first, the IPO was put on hold in March owing to uncertain market conditions.
Volkswagen finance chief Frank Witter said in a statement, "Current market assessments have encouraged us to take today's decision." Previously, Volkswagen had said that it could list up to 25 percent of Traton in a deal anticipated to be worth $6.7 billion.
The company said that its supervisory board and board of management have agreed to prepare for Traton's IPO which is 'subject to further market developments'.
Traton CEO Andreas Renschler said: "Our groundwork has been excellent and we are now fully focused on a potential IPO before the summer break."
The truck unit Traton is a subsidiary of Volkswagen and one of the world's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers. Traton includes MAN, Scania and Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus brands.
Volkswagen said on Monday that it would encourage talks to establish a new plant in eastern Europe. The plant will manufacture vehicles under multiple car brands. Mark Langendorf of the group's communications department said in an interview with Blic that the company is still in the early stages of exploring more options. One of the few considerations for finalising on the location is 'the favourable economic environment and the multitude of parts suppliers'.
Last year, Volkswagen chief Herbert Diess said that Volkswagen's brand factory in Eastern Europe will start production after 2022. Then, Volkswagen will reportedly shift production of the Skoda Karoq and Seat Ateca SUVs to the new plant which would employ 5,000 people.

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WPIX) — A teacher at a Pennsylvania school is accused of sexually assaulting a former student, 16, who she called "her girlfriend" and writing more than 30 love letters to her detailing their relationship.
Nina Scott, 28, was arrested Wednesday and charged with 34 counts of institutional sexual assault of a minor and corruption of minors and two related charges.
Scott allegedly met the teenage girl when she was a teacher at theVillage, a court ordered child care facility in Radnor Township, The Philly Inquirer reported. The student said the relationship started when Scott wrote, in a note, how she would feel about a kiss, according to the criminal complaint. The student said she promised to not tell anyone and the two kissed inside the classroom.
From last February to October, Scott would sexually assault the girl in the classroom in her car and at her home, according to the criminal complaint.
The girl left the school, but Scott would then write more than 30 letters to the girl and mention her as "her girlfriend." She called her 2-year-old daughter "our baby girl," and in one letter, said she was "rolling over in [her] bed and missing [the student] because she was not here," the criminal complaint read.
Many of the letters would be signed "Pretty," police said.
Staff members at the Mid-Atlantic Youth Services facility found the letters from Scott and a journal inside the girl's room. In the journal, the former student referred to Scott as her "future wife," "the love of my life," and "good in bed," the criminal complaint reported.
Staff members reported the letters and journal to police in October.
Scott was suspended at theVillage after officials learned about the abuse allegations. She was fired in December, the Philly Inquirer reported.

Vivid Sydney Delivers Light, Music and Ideas with Intel's Help
Intel is a sponsor of Vivid Sydney, one of the world's largest celebrations of art and innovation.
The 2016 event, which takes place through June 18 in Sydney, Australia, features several Intel experience activations focusing on three categories: Vivid Light, Vivid Music and Vivid Ideas. Some of these experiences include: Drone 100 light shows, Darling Harbour Water Theatre, Sound Cells Opera House, a performance by Ta-ku (featuring Wafia) and the world premiere of Bjork's digital virtual reality exhibition.

Drone 100, Intel's world-record-holding drone performance, makes its public debut as part of Vivid Sydney. On June 8, for the first of five planned night shows, 100 illuminated drones performed a choreographed routine over Sydney Harbour, accompanied by the breathtaking sounds of the Sydney Youth Orchestra.
The Lighting of the Sails is one of the most spectacular traditions at Vivid. This year, the white sails of the Sydney Opera House transformed into an animated canvas for Australian indigenous art. Six artists from different clans created contemporary "Songlines" that depict Australia's First Nations' spiritual and cultural history and offered a visual tapestry that weaves through their personal journeys.
Celebrating its 200th year, the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney got in on the action at Vivid with the Garden of Light, which features illuminated trees, shimmering shrubs and dazzling flowers.
Entering a tunnel of light, the Cathedral of Light draws physical inspiration from traditional arched windows, typically found in historic churches, to create a 230-foot (70 meter) long tunnel illuminated by tens of thousands of LED light globes.
Like entering the gelatinous globe of a jellyfish, walking into the domed Electric Jellyfish installation at the Museum of Sydney is a multi-sensory experience. Innovative technology delivers multi-directional sound and music of astonishing clarity, depth and detail.
Giving a whole new meaning to a public display of affection, I Love You encourages visitors to shout their undying love for each other from the rooftops (well, from a podium in the middle of Sydney's Circular Quay).
Artist Ciaran Frame, age 17, one of the youngest artist at Vivid, created Tree Hugger, which lights up and makes a unique sound and lighting pattern each time someone hugs it.
A hundred LED-laden drones will launch from Sydney Harbour and fly in various formations to create light patterns, accompanied by music from the Sydney Youth Orchestra. During this public debut, four pilots will use technology in Intel laptops to control 25 UAVs each.

Q: Resizing image in bigpicture style notification I want to display an image in my notification using builder style big picture (and not using the custom view). The image is coming cropped always. How should I display the proper image for different devices depending on the screen ratios?
I have searched and I have got that we need to display the notification by scaling the image depending on the screen width but I am not able to implement that and getting too confused with ppi, dpi and all other formats provided for image. Please can anyone provide me with the code to convert the bitmap to be shown in proper format on the different devices depending on the screen size?

A: This is how you scale your received bitmap where 2nd and 3rd arguments are width and height respectively
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(receivedBitmap, 120, 120, false);

Incase you want to scale by maintaining the aspect ratio according to your width, then do this
public Bitmap getResizedBitmap(Bitmap bm, int width ) {
    float aspectRatio = bm.getWidth() /
            (float) bm.getHeight();
    height = Math.round(width / aspectRatio);

    Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(
            bm, width, height, false);

    return resizedBitmap;
}

and to generate the notification with scaled bitmap , use this
 NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(mContext)
        .setContentTitle("set title")
        .setContentText("Swipe Down to View")
        .setSmallIcon(mContext.getApplicationInfo().icon)
        .setLargeIcon(receivedBitmap)
        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
        .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND)
        .setStyle(new Notification.BigPictureStyle()
                .bigPicture(b))
        .setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
        .setVibrate(new long[0])
        .build();

I used Deck Restore to reclaim my deck from the slivers. Love the outcome. This is my review with lots of photos.
Update: this decking job has not held up well. The main part of the deck looks fine still, but the steps have chipped and cracked. I'm not sure how I will go about fixing the flaws. Maybe another coat of the newer formula, but I'm not sure I want to invest any more in this brand.
I noticed on your update, that you made reference to using the "new formula". If the new formula is Restore 10X or Restore 4X, I can tell you that the Restore 10X is exactly the same product that you originally used. It has only been "re branded" according to the Rust-Oleum Facebook page. Re-branded means they simply changed the name. The Restore 4X is the same as 10X, only it has less sand in it.

Here, Youngest Niece took a moment to herself while my dad and brothers set up the venue for my youngest brother's wedding. I drove all the way there but they wouldn't let me help, so I was free to wander around with my camera.
I've mentioned Manhattanhenge before; it's when the setting sun lines up with Manhattan's crosstown streets. Here, some spectators on West 57th Street look west at the setting sun. I really like how the couple in the foreground seem to be collaborating on their picture. I wonder if the kid in mama's arms cared one way or the other. Mostly strangers, everyone wanted a nice sunset.
A couple of years ago I shared this picture from Costa Rica. There's a determination in his work. A statue can't feel but the artist definitely showed respect for the work of the street cleaners.
I love the idea of Manhattanhenge — great response to the challenge.
Thanks so much Marcy! I LOVE the video to raise money for breast cancer research that you were part of…and added to your post: https://www.crowdrise.com/mombies-dance-to-donate/fundraiser/cheshiremombies You are fearless!
It's amazing how many clues we use to understand people. I heard about Manhattanhenge last year for the first time. I have to go read your post.
I hope you get to do a Manhattanhenge – it's kind of fun!

Principles of Secure Coding
2.1 What Is Security Architecture?
Although the concept is somewhat abstract, there are several reasonable definitions. We think of security architecture as a body of high-level design principles and decisions that allow a programmer to say "Yes" with confidence and "No" with certainty.
Let's look at an example. Suppose that you are responsible for your company's main e-commerce application. If you are asked to modify it so that it can be operated on a server outside your firewall by an "application service provider," you could agree?knowing that you won't be compromising security?if your architecture provides for sound and flexible third-party authentication and authorization. If the vice president of operations asks you if thieves could use your application to break through the corporate firewall, you can rule out that possibility if your architecture constrains tightly enough the access granted to your software as it runs.
A security architecture also serves as a framework for secure design, which embodies in microcosm the four classic stages of information security: protect, deter, detect, and react.[3]
[3] Many of the principles described in this chapter were first enunciated formally in J.H. Saltzer's "The Protection of Information in Computer Systems." For our money, that remains the best general paper on the subject. We also cite some ideas from a second attempt at a set of general rules, known as the GASSP (Generally Accepted Security System Principles) project.
There is still another way to look at it. We know many professionals who, if asked for an example of a "security architecture," would produce a set of documents. We have no problem with that definition, either, as we'll describe in the next section.
Whichever way you think of it, one thing is sure. A good security architecture can be applied many times, to many applications. There is no need to "reinvent" the entire framework every time you or someone else starts a new program. Many large well-run development shops we have seen use a sound, well-thought-out architecture as the foundation for all their development. Individual designs are based on it, derive principles and rules from it, and occasionally depart from it.
Finally, we'll point out one thing that security architecture is not. Architecture is different from policy. Your site should certainly have a set of security policies and standards, laying rules about who can have access to what kinds of data, the testing procedures necessary for an application to be certified to run on the network, and so on. Such decisions should be developed in the usual way that policy is formulated for your enterprise, and then used as a guideline for your application architecture.
2.1.1 What's in an Architectural Document?
What should an architectural document include? We can't improve on the following list, adapted from Steve McConnell's excellent Code Complete. He says that an architecture should discuss (or influence) all of the following:
Change strategy
Buy versus build decisions
Major data structures
Key algorithms
Major objects
Generic functionality
Error processing (corrective or detective)
Active or passive robustness
2.1.2 Doing It Right from the Start
Many times in life, getting off to the right start makes all the difference.
Consider the contrasting styles of the Wright brothers and their French predecessors, the Montgolfiers (see Figure 2-1). The boys from Dayton, Ohio were bicycle mechanics by training. Born engineers. They proceeded so cautiously in their years-long campaign to design the first reliable flying machines that they are widely credited as being the fathers of aeronautical engineering. They invented, for example, the wind tunnel. They were the first to understand and calculate the "lift" yielded by a particular wing design, and they laid the groundwork for the twentieth-century miracle of transatlantic flight.
A century earlier, the Montgolfier brothers electrified crowds (among them the king of France) by sending aloft a rooster in a basket under a big balloon filled with hot air. They had their experiments, too. (And their setbacks?after one landing, farmers beat the balloon to pieces with pitchforks.) But we've heard that the method they preferred for testing new ideas was to push a new design off a cliff, then run down to the beach and inspect the wreckage.
Figure 2-1. The Wright brothers (left) invented novel, precise engineering methods; the Montgolfier brothers (right) preferred "rapid prototyping"
We think many software engineers are Montgolfiers at heart. The "rapid prototyping" approach has a lot to recommend it. But in today's world, your software is likely to have to operate in a very hostile security environment. So we respectfully suggest that it's time for us to put away our roosters and pick up our micrometers.

Up and Out
Thursday, April 17, at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's Ring Auditorium
by Matthew Borlik April 11th, 2008 August 29th, 2020
Generally speaking, there are two camps when it comes to Blow Out, Brian De Palma's 1981 "tribute" to Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 thriller Blowup: Either you think the former is a lovingly crafted homage to the latter, or it's just a derivative piece of garbage trying to pass itself off as an homage. Credit cross-media artist Christian Marclay, however, for coming up with a third camp: One that thinks the films serve as the perfect complement to each other. Marclay's Up and Out is a mishmash of both films, featuring the soundtrack of Blow Out (in which audio is the key to solving the crime) spliced together with the images from Blowup (in which visual photography plays the central role). Artprojx.com describes the result as a work that "questions how and why audiences suspend disbelief for the things they hear so much more readily than for the things that they see." At the very least, Marclay has managed to take one aspect of De Palma's film and turn it into something that doesn't completely blow. The film shows at 8 p.m. at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's Ring Auditorium, Independence Ave. & 7th St. SW. Free. (202) 633-1000.

We lov ethe new color fo 2019- Bone- Were you looking for an off white-?Here it is not too yellow!


We met Chris at the backyard expo show in 2017 to discuss our project. He met with us a few times early in 2017 to scope out our entire project and listen to our ideas. He also provided some of his own expertise to try and steer us in the right direction in terms of design, which we appreciated. Our project was originally slated to begin in April 2017; however, due to the rainy weather, the work was postponed until November 2017 and completed in early spring 2018. Throughout the time his team was working on our project (amazing crew!), Chris was very attentive to our questions and knew what to do when we ran into design issues or problems or if any items were missed or broken.
One of our minor complaints throughout the process was lack of communication. Throughout the months where we were waiting for the work to begin. It was very hard to get a hold of Chris and I would suggest he hire an office assistant or a dedicated person to handle his many requests from clients. It would relieve some of the frustrations we felt along the way.
All in all, we were very satisfied with the end product and got to enjoy our new landscaping and remodel throughout the summer of 2018. The project was quite extensive and included: new driveway, new pathways and stone walkways, new garage door/side door and storm door, fence refacing, deck build, new light fixtures, new accent lighting and many more items. The completed work is very impressive and Chris always made sure to make us happy with the end product.
Thank you for your review Nick! We appreciate the time you took to explain your project and the process along the way. We apologize for the frustration felt in reaching Chris at times. We truly value your feedback.
Chris and his crew did a fantastic job on our Custom Garage Build. His team is friendly and easy to work with. Chris responded within minutes to my calls and text messages. His customer service is one I have never experienced before. Would highly recommend his company for any work due to his communication and being true to his word.
Thank you very much for the review. It was a exciting project and we love the outcome!
Chris and his team at one landscape.ca are very professional. They recently installed our pool and deck and made our back yard look absolutely beautiful. Thanks again Chris and his team for the awesome job.
Thank you - enjoy plenty of quality family time.
Company; it helps us and others understand our teams dedication to quality and experience.
I was very pleased with how my interlocking walkway from my deck to my gate turned out and how efficient Chris and his crew were to get it done in half a day. Great price and would highly recommend!!
Thank you for choosing our company. We have forged a relationship with yourself and your neighbourhood through 2108 projects.
We look forward to the friendly neighbourhood waves in the spring.
Chris and his crew transformed our backyard in basically 2 days. The deck constructed by Austin and Jeremy went quickly and efficiently. My biggest concern was in how ineffectively I was able to communicate with Chris himself. There were problems with the glass panels, which were replaced on several occasions, but never to our final satisfaction. Unfortunately once I had paid in full for the job to the carpenter and not to Chris himself, he never came by to talk about our issues or see the problem for himself. I have unanswered emails from him to this date and he immediately passed us off to the manufacture and appears to have washed his hands of the issue entirely. Our original plan was always to have a 2 part job, first the back yard, then the front and side yards. Sadly trust has gone and we will no longer be dealing with One Landscape.
We understand your frustrations and have done our very best to satisfy you in regards to the single glass panel on the deck that is "not satisfactory"
Demolition, rear patios, dry river stone beds, armorstone, steps and fully reconstructed deck using premium grade composites and century aluminum railing with tempered glass insert panels.
However one of the installed glass panels was visibly flawed. We contacted the supplier and re installed this glass panel with your inspection on (4) separate occasions.
Collected the final draw; after your inspection of this newly installed replacement glass panel.
It later came to light that you could not see the "flaw" on the cloudy day; but only on a sunny day.
This is when we began involving our supplier and escalated it to national century railing representative for an on-site product meeting- as we don't produce the glass panels.
We rely heavily on our quality suppliers and manufacturers for support services in regards to products.
Once the representative determined that the "flaw" was within Canadian tempered glass product specifications of manufacturing; he explained in detail what this issue was and provided detailed manufactures letter depicting specifications of such railing glass Canada wide for all manufacturing; he as well provided a gift certificate, and some additional products for the confusion.
We have emailed as well to your personal email offering to have another glass panel produced by secondary manufacture to attempt to rectify this problem.
We do not want to lose a valued customer over a $44.00 panel of glass.
Please contact us and we will gladly assist in furthering the remedy of this panel.
I met Chris at a Garden Show in the Spring of 2018 and saw the quality work of his gazebo display model. After talking with Chris about my project, I realized I had the right person. The crew took almost a week to do the construction of my pergola, and the landscape. His crew were very hard working and professional. What also was amazing is that there were no debris left on the driveway or road side, all was cleared away immediately. I will certainly have Chris do more projects I plan to do and will highly recommend he & his company to my family.
Thank you for your review and feedback. My family and I thank you for your kindness and generosity, we received your thoughtful Christmas gift (Purolator currier to our porch Christmas Eve). We appreciate your business and friendship. Best wishes to you and your family in 2019.
Our deck and railing were old but the framing was still solid. Chris was the only contractor to suggest that we just do the deck and the railing. It quickly became apparent that some of the frame needed some work. The additional charge was reasonable and resulted in a much stronger structure. The gate that was installed under our deck looks terrific and means we have more storage space. The deck is now transformed.
Chris has a very professional team who showed up and worked through rain and snow to get the job done. They cleaned up the property and answered all of our questions. We are very pleased with the results. I would recommend them to anyone.
Chris and his team provided exceptional service, craftsmanship and quality every step of the way. All questions or concerns were handled professionally to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. All around excellent experience and very happy with my new backyard space. Thank you!
Thank you again for your repeat business and support.
We thank you for treating our team like family while onsite workings.
Snacks and waters are always welcome!
jungle! Highly recommended and worth the wait!
Thank you for the kind review Doris! You where an absolute pleasure to work with! Enjoy your new surrounds!
Fantastic, Qualtiy Install. Highly Recommended!!!
We had rough ideas of what we wanted and Chris combined those ideas with his expertise to build a fantastic backyard. Chris and his crew were fast, efficient and most of all did a high quality job. I would definitely recomend that you get Chris to quote your project!!
Thank you for your business and review, we greatly appreciate it. Enjoy your new backyard, pleasure to work with.

(65 ILCS 5/Art. 11 Div. 126 heading) DIVISION 126. JOINT CONSTRUCTION OF WATER SUPPLY
65 ILCS 5/11-126-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-126-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-126-1)
Sec. 11-126-1. Each municipality may provide for a supply of water for fire protection and for the use of the inhabitants of the municipality (1) by constructing and maintaining a system of waterworks, or (2) by uniting with any adjacent municipality in constructing and maintaining a system of waterworks for the joint use of those municipalities, or (3) by procuring such a supply of water from any adjacent municipality already having waterworks.
All contracts for the construction of such a system of waterworks or any part thereof shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder therefor, upon not less than 3 weeks' public notice of the terms and conditions upon which the contract is to be let having been given by publication in a newspaper published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published therein, then in some newspaper published in the county. No member of the corporate authorities shall be directly or indirectly interested in such a contract. In all cases the corporate authorities have the right to reject any and all bids that may not be satisfactory to them.
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 576.)
Sec. 11-126-2. Each municipality may borrow money and levy and collect a general tax, in the same manner as other municipal taxes may be levied and collected, for the construction and maintenance of such a system of waterworks, and may appropriate money for that construction and maintenance.
Sec. 11-126-3. For the purpose of locating, constructing, maintaining, or supplying such a system of waterworks, each municipality may go beyond its corporate limits, and acquire and hold property purchased or otherwise, and also may take, condemn, and hold all necessary property in the manner provided for the taking or damaging of private property for public use. Also each municipality may acquire and hold property and rights necessary for the location, construction and maintenance of such a system of waterworks, by purchase or otherwise. The jurisdiction of the municipality to prevent or punish any pollution or injury to the stream or source of water for the supply of the waterworks extends 10 miles beyond its corporate limits.
Sec. 11-126-4. The corporate authorities of each municipality may make and enforce all needful rules and regulations in the construction and management of such a system of waterworks, and for the use of the water supplied thereby.
The corporate authorities of each municipality also may make and enforce all needful rules, regulations, and enact ordinances for the improvement, care, and protection from pollution or other injury of any impounding reservoir or artificial lake constructed or maintained by the municipality for water supply purposes and any adjacent zone of land which the municipality may acquire or control. If the leasing of portions of such adjacent zone of land will, in the discretion of the corporate authorities, aid in the protection from pollution or other injury of the impounding reservoir or artificial lake by promoting forestation, development or care of other suitable vegetation, and the improvement, care and maintenance of the premises, the corporate authorities may lease those portions of that land jointly or severally to custodians of good reputation and character for periods not to exceed 60 years, and permit those custodians to construct, maintain, use, and occupy dwelling houses and other structures thereon for such rental and on such other terms and conditions and subject to such rules and regulations and with such powers and duties as may be determined by the corporate authorities.
The corporate authorities of each municipality have the power to fix and collect from the inhabitants thereof the rent or rates for the use and benefit of water used or supplied to them by such a system of waterworks, as the corporate authorities shall deem just and expedient. These rents or rates shall be paid and collected in such manner as the corporate authorities by ordinance shall provide. Such charges, rents, or rates are liens upon the real estate upon or for which water service is supplied whenever the charges, rents, or rates become delinquent as provided by the ordinance of the municipality fixing a delinquency date. However, the municipality has no preference over the rights of any purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lien holder arising prior to the filing of the notice of such a lien in the office of the recorder of the county in which such real estate is located, or in the office of the registrar of titles of such county if the property affected is registered under "An Act concerning land titles", approved May 1, 1897, as amended. This notice shall consist of a sworn statement setting out (1) a description of such real estate sufficient for the identification thereof, (2) the amount of money due for such water service, and (3) the date when such amount became delinquent. The municipality may foreclose this lien in the same manner and with the same effect as in the foreclosure of mortgages on real estate.
Sec. 11-126-5. The expense of locating, and constructing reservoirs and hydrants for the purpose of fire protection, and the expense of constructing and laying water main pipes, or such part thereof as may be just and lawful, whenever it is for a local improvement, may be assessed upon and collected from the property specially benefited thereby, if any, in such manner as may be provided for the making of special assessments for other local improvements in the municipality, as provided in Article 9.
Sec. 11-126-6. All the income received by a municipality from such a system of waterworks, from the payment and collection of water rents or rates, shall be kept in a separate fund and shall be applied first in the payment and discharge of the principal of and the interest on bonds or money borrowed and used in the construction of the waterworks and of the operating expenses thereof. Any surplus may be applied in such manner as the corporate authorities may direct.
Sec. 11-126-7. For the purpose of constructing a system of waterworks, storm or sanitary sewer system, each municipality has the power to levy special assessments for said local improvements on property beyond its corporate limits, but within one mile therefrom, that is specially benefited by the improvement.
(Source: Laws 1963, p. 2637.)
(65 ILCS 5/Art. 11 Div. 127 heading) DIVISION 127. PURCHASE OR LEASE OF WATERWORKS
Sec. 11-127-1. In all municipalities where waterworks have been constructed, the corporate authorities of the municipality may purchase or lease the waterworks from the owner thereof. However, such a lease or purchase is not binding upon the municipality until the corporate authorities pass an ordinance which includes the terms of the lease or purchase therein. This ordinance shall be published at least once, within 10 days after passage, in one or more newspapers published in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is published therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general circulation within the municipality. In municipalities with less than 500 population in which no newspaper is published, publication may instead be made by posting a notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality.
The publication or posting of the ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the question of authorizing the purchase or lease of waterworks to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective referendum. The city clerk shall provide a petition form to any individual requesting one.
If no petition is submitted to the corporate authorities, as provided in this section, within 30 days after the ordinance is so published and posted, the corporate authorities may consummate the lease or purchase provided for in the ordinance. But if within this period of 30 days there is presented to the corporate authorities a petition signed by electors of the municipality numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the municipality asking that the question, whether the lease or purchase should be made, be submitted to a vote, the corporate authorities by ordinance shall designate the election at which the electors of the municipality may vote upon that question and the city clerk shall promptly certify the proposition for submission. If a majority of the electors voting upon that question vote in favor of making the lease or purchase, then the corporate authorities shall proceed to complete the lease or purchase. But if a majority of the votes cast on the question are against the lease or purchase, the corporate authorities shall proceed no further with the lease or purchase for the period of 6 months next ensuing.
Sec. 11-127-2. Municipalities may borrow money, appropriate money, and levy and collect a general tax in the same manner as other municipal taxes may be levied and collected for the purchase and maintenance or the lease and maintenance of such waterworks.
(65 ILCS 5/Art. 11 Div. 128 heading) DIVISION 128. TAX FOR WATERWORKS PURCHASE, CONSTRUCTION OR ENLARGEMENT
Sec. 11-128-1. Subject to the provisions of Section 11-128-3, each city and village may levy, in addition to the taxes now authorized by law and in addition to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided by Section 8-3-1, a direct annual tax of not more than .1666% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, upon all the property within the corporate limits of the city or village. This tax is payable yearly for a period of not more than 30 years. The proceeds of this tax shall be used solely for the purchase, construction, and enlargement of waterworks.
The foregoing limitation upon tax rates in municipalities of less than 1,000,000 population may be increased or decreased according to the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of Illinois.

ESO Electronic Service Ottenbreit GmbH is an electronics manufacturing service provider (EMS). We specialize in SMT and conventional THT assembly of electronic boards. In addition, we also offer electronic design and development services, as well as SMT and BGA rework. We see ourselves not just as providers of electronics manufacturing services, but rather as a trusted partner ready to assist our clients during the design and development phases. When mistakes are made with projects produced elsewhere, we are also there to support our clients with SMT and BGA rework services. Our range of services – from the initial design stages through SMT or THT assembly, to rework and logistics – enables us to provide a true package of value to our customers.
The first step of the electronics manufacturing process is usually SMT assembly (surface mounted device). During this SMT assembly, SMT components are placed on the PCB using soldering paste that is applied to the board with a stainless steel stencil. After this step is completed, the SMT components are placed on the electronic boards with a fully automated machine. We use SMT assembly machines from Mydata, which enables us not only to produce cost-effective prototypes and small series orders, but also medium-series production batches. SMT components are delivered to us from our distributors in standard packaging, which is then prepared for assembly by loading it into magazines from which the assembly arm takes components to be placed on the PCB. At the end, a final visual inspection of the soldered SMT components is performed to make sure that each piece was correctly placed on the soldering paste before the boards are moved forward in the assembly line to the reflow station, where they are heated to 260°C and soldered. Once the tin solder is heated to this temperature, the SMT components are now permanently affixed to the board. We use various solder pastes depending on the customer's requirements and the needs of the components themselves. After the Reflow process, the assembled electronic boards are checked with an automated optical inspection (AOI). The AOI inspection automatically checks that the solder paste has been correctly applied at the precise places on the electronic boards. The results of the AOI quality inspection are then reviewed by a member of our highly trained production team.
If you would like to learn more about the SMT production process, we recommend our EMS Knowledge Base Article "How does SMT electronics assembly work?"
As an EMS provider, we specialize not only in SMT assembly, but also in conventional (THT) assembly for prototypes, small- and medium series orders. Assembly of wire-leaded THT components is typically performed in addition to the SMT process. For this reason, many boards require the so-called "mixed assembly" using both SMT and THT assembly methods. In through-hole (THT) assembly, the components are placed on the board by hand. Instead of the soldering paste and reflow steps of SMT, THT components are applied using various methods. Depending on the kind of component, either wave soldering or conventional soldering is performed to connect the THT components to the pads using tin solder. As with SMT assembly, visual inspections are carried out during the THT process to confirm that the boards have been correctly assembled.
If you would like to learn more about the THT production process, we recommend our EMS Knowledge Base Article "How does conventional THT assembly work?"
Our in-house quality checks during the production process are specified by our customers according to their required quality standards, ranging from visual inspections to automated AOI inspections. Quality inspections check whether the SMT or THT components have been correctly assembled before the boards are released for delivery. When the quality check confirms that everything is right, the boards are now ready for delivery.
If you would like to learn more about our quality processes and standards according to DIN EN ISO 9001, we recommend our article on quality.


As torrential rain soaked the Woodlands, a noticeably thinner but enthusiastic crowd packed into the tented Wildwood Stage to hear country music star Loretta Lynn belt out the hits, including her signature song, "Coal Miner's Daughter."
Meanwhile, across the ankle deep mud covered lawn, fans found shelter and line dancing inside the Harvest Moon Saloon.
Organized by the same groups that stage Firefly, Big Barrel's marquee acts include married country music stars, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert and old school favorites Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard.

Just days after hosting 90 thousand music fans in Dover, Firefly Festival organizers are already looking to next year.
Red Frog Events announced Tuesday that the dates for the 2016 edition of the four-day music fest have been locked in. It will be held June 16th through 19th 2016.
For the first time in its four-year existence, weather put a damper on the Firefly Festival.
Just before 10 pm Saturday night, event organizers asked the tens of thousands of fans on the grounds at the Woodlands in Dover to leave in advance of severe weather rolling into the state capital. Fans were told to seek shelter in their vehicles. Those camping on site were told to take down all pop-up tents, poles, and canopies at their campsite.
As Firefly Music Festival continues to grow in its fourth year, so too, does The Brewery tent at The Woodlands, where Dogfish Head beers have been flowing all weekend long.
Sam Calagione, president and founder of Dogfish Head, was there Friday. The craft beer pioneer praised Red Frog, the events organization behind Firefly, for what he called another successful festival.
Before the five members of Fiancé took the Forest Stage Friday afternoon at Firefly Music Festival, there was a distinct New Castle County aura about the crowd. Where Cypher Clique had its own Dover contingent the night before, Fiancé definitely had a Newark following ready to cheer them on.
