Evolving with Wastewater Demands
Beaufort is a major population center situated in the Hilton Head Island-Beaufort Micropolitan area in a region known as South Carolina's Lowcountry. The scenic community is known for its natural beauty as well as its historical architecture and military establishments, which include the Marine Corps Beaufort Air Station and Parris Island Recruitment Depot. Southern Living magazine named the city "Best Small Southern Town," and American Style lists it among the country's "Top 25 Small City Arts Destinations." As Beaufort's recognition increases, so do the responsibilities of the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewage Authority (BJWSA) planners who need to ensure the city's systems keep pace with growth.
Despite the city's permanent population of only 13,000, the demands on the wastewater system are formidable. The greater area boasts nearly 125,000 residents, while the military presence and bourgeoning retail and tourist trades mean a significant transient population.
Beaufort is largely flat, with an elevation only slightly above sea level. Without the assistance of
a natural grade to assist system flows, most everything in the complex sewage network requires pumping. Wet wells must be relatively shallow in the island geography, and lines to the treatment facility often cross bridges and causeways. All these factors mean a significant number of sewage lift stations service
a relatively small area. Regulating the capacity of the sewage systems here requires a close synchronization of engineering talent with technology and professional relationships.
The Bay Street Station
In 1973, then city of Beaufort's Chief Operator and later Utilities Director Frank Emminger recognized early on careful planning and attention to detail were required to meet the area's challenges. Calling on the application expertise of TenCarva Machinery Co., it all began with the installation of a series of lift stations that included the Bay Street station. The latter project was not only the deepest in the city, but was also challenged with handling a significant amount of wastewater for the city.
With a wet well nearly 19 ft deep, the Bay Street station incorporated Gorman-Rupp T Series 6-in. self-priming pumps. An auxiliary Wisconsin LPG engine was incorporated that turned on and kept the system pumping in the event of a power loss. According to Emminger, the auto-start technology was "an incredible innovation. It carried us through more than a few storms."
Decades after Emminger flipped the switch on the original Bay Street station, the station began to have difficulty handling the increasing flow, and a cost-effective solution was sought. Even though the station was among the first pump systems used by the city to feed its first treatment facility, it had managed nonstop operations up until that point, requiring only basic maintenance over the years.
"We found ourselves needing to address a wet-weather flow problem with the station. It simply could not keep up with flow during rain events," said Todd Ritchie, a distributor's representative with TenCarva Machinery. "At that time, we shared information with Frank Emminger and Joe DeVito, BJWSA director of field operations, about Gorman-Rupp's newly developed technology—parallel/series pumping."
An interim solution was implemented: a parallel/series pipe configuration that still allowed the city to run the station's pumps in parallel during normal conditions, but when necessary, a valve connecting the discharge of one pump to the suction of the other could be opened to allow the pumps to run in series. As the second pump came on, performance was maximized for times of unusually high flows.
"Very quickly, we saw the benefits that could be applied to the situation," DeVito said. With a single pipe modification, nearly 15 years of new life was added to the station. In effect, from a technology standpoint, the parallel/series technology allowed Beaufort's Bay Street station to enjoy not only an extended life but also new and previously unforeseen opportunities. Later, by integrating more new technologies into their gravity system, Beaufort virtually eliminated inflows and infiltrations, freeing up more capacity within the system.
Starting Anew
More than 36 years after the Bay Street station was originally installed, and with 15 years of enhanced performance made available to the BJWSA engineering team, the system has undergone a landmark rebuild. The Bay Street station has been redesigned to accommodate a mixed-use scenario.
Bay Street itself is a major downtown thoroughfare and home to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. With no less than 10 restaurants within an eight-minute walk, many businesses create significant wastewater that flows to the station. Additionally, just outside the area lies a sizeable residential area with a light commercial addition. Originally, when the Bay Street station was built, it met the needs of a simpler residential community.
"We're not required to pump more gallons per minute," DeVito said. "We're required to pump more throughout the day."
During the 15-year service life extension achieved with parallel/series pumping, trenchless technology—as well as gravity system technology—has advanced considerably. With state-of-the-art controls and engineering, the new station includes Super T Series 4-in. self-priming pumps and a liquid-cooled LPG Zenith auxiliary engine drive featuring the latest Tier II technology available for meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Using similar advancements to those found in automotive engines, a four-cylinder LPG engine now can generate considerably more horsepower than in the past. The station also features the parallel/series engineering that was so vital in the previous design.
The Engineering and Operations divisions at BJWSA asked HEG Eng. to provide design assistance with the pump station rehabilitation project by performing hydraulic modeling to verify the operational requirements for the pumping package under various conditions. HEG's background in municipal wastewater made it an ideal candidate to work with the BJWSA operational staff, along with Gorman-Rupp and TenCarva Machinery, to verify conditions and establish operational parameters.
After evaluating the situation, the authority recognized that smaller pumps now were suitable for the application, ironically yielding a higher flow as a result of technology advancements.
"The pumps are better, more efficient and we enjoyed a little cost savings in the rehab as well," DeVito said. "And this also frees up more room, as the pumps today are smaller than the 6-in. kit of 15 years prior."
"I don't think there's another horizontal self-priming pump out there that's easier to work on and to teach people to work on," Emminger said. "Simplicity comes to mind with regard to routine maintenance and repairs. None of us can control what goes through a sewer line, but Gorman-Rupp pumps can consistently pass 3-in. solids—and from our experience, sometimes even larger objects. Hands down, there's not an easier pump to disassemble."
Convenience in Design
Design updates to the new lift station include a back door to the station. Originally built with a single manway door, the new design incorporates a hidden double-width door to allow for easier and safer access way to the new pumps.
"Without the double-door design, the only way we could get the new technology into the station would have involved removing the roof," DeVito said. "The double-sided doors around the back side offered the best advantage. The existing building is a little tight, and this design further offers a much safer and more comfortable work area for the mechanics working on the station in the future."
Now, with more than 400 pump stations in the BJWSA system, safety remains essential. "Some of the quarters can get extremely tight. As a result, we've asked our operators over the past 10 years for suggestions on how we can make the BJWSA's operations safer, and what is needed to make it easier to work on the technology," DeVito said.
BJWSA standards, in response to operator input, allow for a 24-in. clearance between the pump or any other unit inside the building and the wall. Through adjustments like floor-mounting controls toward the center of the building—rather than mounting them on walls—the authority's personnel are provided with ample space to kneel down and shuffle around while servicing equipment.
"This new design not only brings in more maneuverability, but also allows for more natural light during day operation of the station," DeVito added.
A Team Effort
The team effort between TenCarva, HEG, the city of Beaufort's engineers and Gorman-Rupp was exceptionally beneficial.
"The ideas TenCarva and Gorman-Rupp brought forward allowed everyone to come together to provide a solution to an interim problem without investing additional dollars," Emminger said. "Salespeople sell something new. These partners were there to help us find the right solution."
Since his retirement from the city of Beaufort in the late 1990s, Emminger has gone on to become the general manager of the Beaufort County contractor that was awarded the Bay Street lift station rebuild. As a result, Emminger has once again become an integral part of the planning.
"To Frank [Emminger], these stations are a good part of his life. He was very dedicated and treated the lift stations and maintained them for an entire career," DeVito said. "Knowing that he now has the opportunity to rehab that original station and bring it back to its original condition—if not better than when he originally turned it on—is rewarding. Because he flipped the switch on the original station, he'll be the person to flip that switch again to turn it back on. It doesn't get any better than that."
Upon completion of the Bay Street location, several additional station rehabs have been awarded to both HEG and DuPriest. The last two of these were part of the original 1973 installations.
"There is absolutely a strong sense of pride in the mechanical side of our progress at Beaufort, but there's the human side of our success that goes through generations as well," DeVito said. "We're watching one generation develop and define best practices and then turn it over to the new generation."
The TenCarva team concurs: "Because of this relationship, we've been allowed to solve problems in such a way that really adds value," Ritchie said.

Advocate, Contribute and Thrive – ACTing out Personalised Learning in our New Normal.
Home | News | Advocate, Contribute and Thrive – ACTing…
In our re-endorsed strategic plan, we have made a clear commitment to The Knox School being acknowledged as a centre of excellence in the design and implementation of Personalised Learning. As our Principal Mr Shaw explains in his article, TKS will be recognised as a place where our young people thrive and where adults support them, explicitly model their own commitment to ongoing learning. An authentic, engaged and vibrant learning community.
This is not a new road for TKS; indeed, we have been on this journey for several years, exploring best practice and developing innovative pedagogies. So, what exactly is Personalised Learning, and where can we see this in action at TKS?
2020 taught us many things, and lots of them were positive. We have demonstrated our community has the skill set to adapt to our Home Campus model and the resilience to approach challenges as part of the fabric of learning. Not only that but what emerged was significant collective growth; the confidence, independence and agility of our students was extraordinary and something we committed to harnessing within our future Personalised Learning frameworks.
One such example is The Cube, a trans-disciplinary learning model that sits within the electives model in Year 9. There is no denying the world needs global action to mitigate climate change and social injustices. This program empowers our students to foster an awareness of social justice and global citizenship by focusing on the affective skills of collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity and the essential dispositions of character competency development and contribution – referred to within our community as the 6Cs.
Through the experience of The Cube, our students not only become aware of global issues and identify patterns of social injustice, but are equipped with the essential skills needed to become self-sufficient learners who advocate for change, contribute towards potential solutions and support communities to thrive.
With over 25 different electives within The Cube program, our students have autonomy over which subject aligns with their interests and individual skill development. While some electives focus on issues at a global level, others are more local. Similarly, some electives' focus may be a social issue, while others may be political or environmental.
The scope is vast and varied to allow all students, regardless of interest or ability, to engage with pertinent real-world issues and build towards exploring and designing real-world outcomes, a fundamental part of becoming a global citizen.
With such choice comes responsibility; our students are supported by their Mentors, who build their personalised pathway to target their areas of interest and individual skill development. At TKS, we acknowledge that life is not always linear, and one size does not always fit all; The Cube really does allow our students to choose their own adventure, building pathways and programs that are engaging and meaningful.
With alternative pathways comes alternative ways of measuring – in other words, how do we track the growth and development of each student as they progress through their program? Each elective within The Cube measures individual growth in skills, not in grades, and has been designed to offer frameworks for students to develop within the competencies of the 6Cs individually. By the end of the year, students can complete four of the electives and thus build up a personalised portfolio of skills and competencies. Each portfolio will be unique in that it is the product of the individual and their journey through The Cube. Learning outcomes will not necessarily be reported by a letter or a number but instead will be captured with tangible examples of real-world learning, targets set, and goals achieved, curated by the student and authorised by the teacher—a visual representation of active learning growth.
Content within The Cube is agentic in that it is co-constructed with the students and is not fixed by the teacher from the outset. This allows our students to take ownership of the roadmap of their own learning, set targets, and define individualised outcomes for success, allowing them to achieve their personal best. As the facilitator of the learning experience, the teacher ensures the structures for growth are in place, but the architecture and agency is firmly with the students.
Observing students working in partnership with our educators, co-designing learning and collaborating as their new norm is a privilege for us all and one that we have an imperative to uphold as we consider the design of our new learning landscape.
At TKS, we are mindful that the future of our tomorrow is in the hands of the students of today. Therefore, we are commited to an authentic development of sustainable and transferable skills and competencies which will allow our students to confidently become the agents of care, change and support the world needs.

Zion National Park is located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to half a mile (800 m) deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest elevation is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest elevation is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park's unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.
Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans; the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (300 CE) stem from one of these groups. In turn, the Virgin Anasazi culture (500 CE) developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. A different group, the Parowan Fremont, lived in the area as well. Both groups moved away by 1300 and were replaced by the Parrusits and several other Southern Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into the area in 1858 and settled there in the early 1860s. In 1909 the President of the United States, William Howard Taft, named the area a National Monument to protect the canyon, under the name of Mukuntuweap National Monument. In 1918, however, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service changed the park's name to Zion, the name used by the Mormons. According to historian Hal Rothman: "The name change played to a prevalent bias of the time. Many believed that Spanish and Indian names would deter visitors who, if they could not pronounce the name of a place, might not bother to visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater appeal to an ethnocentric audience." The United States Congress established the monument as a National Park on November 19, 1919. The Kolob section was proclaimed a separate Zion National Monument in 1937, but was incorporated into the park in 1956.
Spring weather is unpredictable, with stormy, wet days being common, mixed with occasional warm, sunny weather. Precipitation is normally heaviest in March. Spring wildflowers bloom from April through June, peaking in May. Fall days are usually clear and mild; nights are often cool. Summer days are hot (95 to 110 °F; 35 to 43 °C), but overnight lows are usually comfortable (65 to 70 °F; 18 to 21 °C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common from mid-July through mid-September. Storms may produce waterfalls as well as flash floods. Autumn tree-color displays begin in September in the high country; in Zion Canyon, autumn colors usually peak in late October. Winter in Zion Canyon is fairly mild. Winter storms bring rain or light snow to Zion Canyon and heavier snow to the higher elevations. Clear days may become quite warm, reaching 60 °F (16 °C); nights are often 20 to 40 °F (−7 to 4 °C). Winter storms can last several days and make roads icy. Zion roads are plowed, except the Kolob Terrace Road which is closed when covered with snow. Winter driving conditions last from November through March.


Intentionality is the key to freelance writing success. In fact, it's the key to many good things in life.
That sounds like a bold and perhaps woo-woo statement, doesn't it? But I believe it to be true for me and for anyone who wants to have a successful freelance writing business. Or, come to think about it, wants to get anything done well.
In other words, intentionality actually speaks about how strong, or clear, or not, our mental state is when we set a goal or decide to do something. It has a great deal to do with how effectively we work at whatever we want to get done.
Cats are great models of intentionality. When they hunt, their whole being hunts. If they lose that prey, they focus their intention on another target. While they may walk away without catching anything this time, they walk away knowing they are hunters. It's clear to them that they will catch something soon. They totally know that they are predators.
This is true for my indoor cats, as much as it is for an outdoor cat.
That clarity doesn't mean they don't play, or love, or sleep or do all the other things cats do. But in the moment when pray, real or toy, appears their role as a predator becomes crystal clear.
That's intentionality, at least from the outside. I think there's more to it than that, at least for us humans.
According to a family story I began talking about becoming a writer in the sixth grade when it dawned on me that someone had actually written the books I was so learning to love reading. I remember holding a mystery novel in absolute awe that some real life person was actually responsible for the words on the page I was reading. I didn't know it then, but I was beginning to set my intention to becoming a writer. Of course, back then I had no idea about the details of being a writer. But the seed was well and truly planted in my mind.
The idea of me as a writer stayed with me and developed over time. I wrote a story about our 6th grade election for the school paper. I joined the journalism after school club in 7th grade and wrote some stories for Seventh Grade News or whatever it was. Once I had a driver's license, which was then 14 years old in California under certain circumstances, I'd drive to bookstores to buy writing magazines, always hiding them so no one would guess what had become a much stronger desire to write. I was informing myself about the writing industry, how it all worked. All this was pretty unconscious, but my desire to earn a living writing was getting stronger.
I'm told that when martial artists are trained to break thick boards with their bare hands or elbows, or feet, an important part of the training includes the instruction to look through the board they are trying to break. Not off vaguely into the distance, but to see where their hand or elbow or foot will end up when they power through the boards they break. Somehow, focusing on that future of where their body ends up makes breaking boards more likely and even easier.
It reminds me of hitting the metal bowl or bell with a fabric-covered wooden striker at the start and end of a meditation period. It seems an easy task. However, to get the clear, echoing sound one of these marvelous tuned bells can give I have to be focused on just that, just striking the bowl. As soon as I wonder how it will sound, or if I'll make a mistake or think what anyone else is doing, or allow any distraction at all, the sound becomes more or less muddy. In this case the intention must be present only with the striker and the bell.
We truly have more control over our thoughts then we generally realize. Napoleon Hill in the classic Think and Grow Rich (you can download it for free right here), was right when he said "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Conceive and believe are the power behind intentionality. Both are necessary because they only work together when you want a result.
We can learn to control our thoughts and our self-talk away from the negative and toward the positive… away from what we don't want to what we do want. It takes some practice but it can be done. And it isn't very difficult actually.
Getting clear on what you want, a Life Vision if you will, can be a key part of making intentionality work for you over the long haul. It helps you 'conceive' of exactly what you want so you can add the' belief' that will move you in that direction. There are all sorts of ways to discover or uncover your Life Vision. It can be a fairly simple process. If you'd like help with your Life Vision, fill out the form here and I'll contact you and see if I can help.
I'm currently reading a book titled You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Although I don't like the title, the book is a marvel. He carefully lays out the science behind intentionality and the idea that we can change our lives by changing our thinking. I'll do a full review when I finish it, but halfway through I'm really encouraged and excited.
I love this article, it gave me a new perspective on not only writing- but life. Having a clear goal and clear intentions is a great lesson for life in general, I couldn't agree more. I will definitely implement these tips in my next freelance writing gig. Thanks for the great insight!
You're more than welcome, Bruce… thanks for stopping by.

NTT revises full-year outlook on JPY299bn DOCOMO share repurchase
Japanese telecoms giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) has reportedly revised its full-year outlook in the wake of a decision by its subsidiary, NTT DOCOMO, to buy back shares in the parent company. In the transaction, DOCOMO repurchased 177 million shares in NTT resulting in a one-off gain of JPY299 billion (USD2.8 billion), prompting it to revise its FY2014/15 net profit forecast up to JPY577 billion from JPY274 billion, although operating profit is expected to be down marginally, at JPY272 billion, as a result of a lower dividend at the mobile division due to the lower number of shares held, says Telecompaper without citing its sources.

Switches, the lock drive, the control unit and wires are a part of the electric drive. The control unit is mounted under the dashboard, to the right of the block of safety locks. It is independently possible to execute simple checks of the drive and connections. More detailed check and elimination of serious malfunctions is carried out in car service.
Control of locks is exercised from the reversive electromagnets mounted in the doorway. Switches of locks have 2 provisions: Lock and Unlock. From the switch on the control unit the signal of unlocking or locking of a door arrives. The control unit changes polarity of a signal according to position of the switch, as a result conclusions of the coil of the solenoid connect either to weight or to food of +12 Century.
On a part of cars anti-theft devices are built in door locks.
Safety locks and breakers are at first checked.
At operation of the drive of the lock at any position of the switch the click has to be listened.
Check short circuit of contacts of switches of door locks (see the Chart for a prverka of the main switch of the electric drive of the lock of a door of the driver and the Chart for a prverka of the main switch of the electric drive of the lock of a door of the passenger). If contacts do not become isolated according to the enclosed scheme, then replace the switch.
If the switch is serviceable, then check existence of break in the wires connecting the control unit, solenoids and switches.
Check connection with the mass of the control unit and switches.
If only one electromagnet does not work, then check presence on it of tension, having removed facing of a door. Tension has to be in the family way Lock on one of wires. After convertion of the switch in situation Unlock tension has to be on an opposite wire.
If tension is, then replace an electromagnet.
Otherwise check the relay or a wire between the control unit and the solenoid. As a rule this wire breaks when closing and opening a door.
The system consists of the transmitter of the IK-beams getting on the receiver which unlocks a door. On a part of cars this system also starts anticreeping system of "fright", including headlights and a sound signal.
If when pressing the button the LED indicator on the transmitter does not burn, then it is necessary to replace the battery. In process of the category of the battery the distance of operation of system of unlocking decreases.
To replace the battery hook and separate case halves.
Install new batteries, observing polarity.

People with tattoos are less likely to get sick, according to new study
Looks like people with tattoos have higher immune systems!
Receiving multiple tattoos can strengthen your immunological responses, potentially making you heartier in fighting off common infections, according to a new study.
The research by three scholars from the University of Alabama said that people with multiple tattoos can build up a better immune system.
Although, Sciencedaily reported that receiving a single tattoo can, at least temporarily, lower your resistance, says Dr. Christopher Lynn, UA associate professor of anthropology.
The research was published online March 4 in the American Journal of Human Biology.
He said said he had earlier noted first-hand that receiving tattoos can be physically draining.
"They don't just hurt while you get the tattoo, but they can exhaust you," Lynn said. "It's easier to get sick. You can catch a cold because your defenses are lowered from the stress of getting a tattoo."
The body's response to tattooing is akin to that experienced from exercising in the gym when you're out of shape, said Lynn. Initially, muscles become sore, but if you continue, the soreness fades following subsequent workouts.
Aesthetic nurse Anne Hegarty explains how to avoid getting botched lip fillers
"After the stress response, your body returns to an equilibrium," Lynn said. "However, if you continue to stress your body over and over again, instead of returning to the same set point, it adjusts its internal set points and moves higher." Meaning you're getting stronger.
He hypothesized that repeated tattooing might show similar benefits.
Research results produced by former UA graduate student Johnna Dominguez, Lynn and Dr. Jason DeCaro, UA associate professor of anthropology, back up the hypothesis. Dominguez's work was done before receiving her UA master's degree.
Approaching volunteers at tattoo businesses in Tuscaloosa and Leeds, Dominguez surveyed them, obtaining information on the number of tattoos received and time involved in the tattooing procedures.
"People with more tattoo experience have a statistically smaller decrease in immunoglobulin A from before to after," said the researcher.
When receiving a tattoo, the body mobilizes immunological agents to fight possible infections at the site of the new tattoo, Lynn said.
And, as with the weightlifter, the body that is tattooed repeatedly ratchets up the threshold that would necessitate an immunological response. They, too, the research indicates, are getting stronger, immunologically.
"I'm interested in neuroanthropology, or how culture gets into the body at a neurological level," Lynn said. "Many of the things I study have a 'catchy' quality to them.
"It's a concept I actually borrowed from my study of religion. Catch students' attention and get them interested in anthropology. Blow their minds a bit, then get them to dig deeper. I do that on purpose.
"The trick is to find ways to study catchy concepts that are also important. Nobody had done anything like this tattooing study, looking at the potential benefits from a biological perspective."

BBC ALBA to broadcast SSE Scottish Women's Cup Final and four SBSSWPL games
Scottish Women's Football (SWF) is delighted to confirm that BBC ALBA will be broadcasting four Scottish Building Society SWPL 1 matches during the rest of the 2018 season. As the growth of the game continues and the battle at the top of the table heats up, this announcement represents another exciting moment in the history of the game.
The four games that BBC ALBA will broadcast are to be confirmed, but the first match will be Forfar Farmington v Hibernian. This match will be played this Friday (7th September) at Station Park, Forfar, for a 19:35 KO.
The 2018 SWPL Cup Final was live on BBC ALBA and the Scottish Cup Final will broadcast as well. This takes the total number of domestic Scottish Women's Football games that will be covered in 2018 by BBC ALBA to six. SWF and BBC ALBA have also announced that this will be a two year deal with SWF for six games per year, including the Scottish Women's Cup Final and SWPL Final.
SWF Chair, Vivienne MacLaren, said: "This agreement is a huge sign of progress within the Scottish Women's game. Making the game more visible is of vital importance to us as an organisation and this deal is another positive step. Having worked with BBC ALBA previously, we know the passion they have for our game and why we're delighted to be a part of this agreement.
"It's such an exciting time for the domestic game. To have matches being broadcast on a national platform is a testament to all those involved in the game, past and present, and secures a bright future for the next generation of girls' and women's footballers."
Iseabail Mactaggart, MG ALBA Director of Strategy and Partnership said: "This is an exciting moment for the channel. In the 10 years of BBC ALBA we have demonstrated in other sports how a national free-to-air platform can showcase a growing sport, and at the same time introduce audiences – sometimes for the first time – to Gaelic.
"Scottish women's football is at an extraordinarily exciting junction, and we are delighted to be working with the Scottish FA and SWF to create transformative partnerships which will be good for BBC ALBA's audiences, but also fantastic for Scottish women's football at domestic league and national level.
"We are also very pleased that with the BBC we will be able to broadcast live all of the Scottish national team's Women's World Cup games, should they qualify."

This hypocrite represents a monstrous and disgustingly rancid system which had got precipitated in post-Independent period and is constantly holding our democratic polity and people's welfare in hostage! And regretfully, Modi is proving he is also no exception, and a very much part and parcel of this highly depraved system!! All the wolves in sheep's clothing have started unmasking themselves and are showing their true colours!! Forcefully merging seven Mandals of Khammam District of the state of Telangana with the of state Andhra Pradesh just to submerge them under the big lopsided and unscientifically designed Polavaram Multi Purpose Project without ascertaining the views of the affected parties involved and deliberately overlooking the plight of the huge tribal population who are going to be made mere scapegoats, is a devil's play being enacted by Modi's sarkaar in close conjunction with the state of Andhra Pradesh. It's estimated that nearly half a million Adivasi people will be rendered homeless and will find themselves in a watery grave, and will lose all their livelihoods if the project is given go ahead nod, and most importantly, it will be environmentally hazardous and will drastically destabilize the ecosystem of the region with catastrophic effects!

I may not agree with some of the ideologies of many of the present day followers of Babasaheb Ambedkar but can never stop myself from admiring the towering giant of Indian politics, strong advocate of human rights and the greatest social reformer. I feel Dr. Ambedkar is/was the man who has/had often been misconstrued and misinterpreted by both the extreme wings of the right and the left! He never ceases to inspire us all if we make an objective study of the monumental struggles he had to endure to make a distinct mark of his own in Indian political history and socio-cultural ethos! The greatest and the mightiest warrior of India who waged a lonely war and left behind a robust army to be reckoned with!!


One of the central roles of a career counselor is to help clients to make a career choice. Identifying the determinants of a career choice is extremely useful as it provides the counselor with direction as to the different aspects to explore during the counseling sessions. For the purpose of this essay, the different factors that determine career choice have been grouped into five categories that are going to be examined successively. These are intellectual and physical ability, factors related to the client's personality, factors related to familial direct or indirect influence, societal factors and other factors. The factors mentioned above are largely interlinked and do not independently influence the client's choice of a career.

The Existence of Irisin, the So-Called "Exercise Hormone," May Not Be a Myth After All
Aug 20, 2015 | Research & Development | 0 |
Irisin, the "exercise hormone," either exists or it doesn't, depending on one's personal beliefs. In a recent study, the researchers who first discovered irisin suggest that it circulates in the blood at nanogram levels and increases during exercise.
In their study appearing in the August 13 issue of Cell Metabolism, according to a media release from Cell Press, senior author Bruce Speigelman of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, and co-author Steven Gygi used quantitative mass spectrometry techniques to suggest that irisin uses ATA (start codon) to initiate its production rather than the usual ATG.
The authors note also that although irisin circulates at low nanogram levels, its range is comparable to that observed for other hormones such as insulin. Furthermore, the release explains, the investigators developed a protocol that does not rely on antibodies to precisely measure how much irisin increases in people after exercise.
In the release, the study authors point out, however, that some irisin is lost during sample preparation, and therefore the amount of irisin detected is, if anything, a slight underestimation. The technology is also expensive and requires specific mass spectrometry instruments. However, future refinement of this work should lead to more scalable protocols.

Kim Kardashian Has "Nothing Bad To Say" About President Trump & Here's Why That's Worrisome
By Nicole Pomarico
David Livingston/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images; Win McNamee/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Her husband, Kanye West, has been a fan of Donald Trump's for a while now, but it was still pretty surprising when Kim Kardashian took a meeting with the president earlier this year. And now, she's talking about what that experience was like. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night, Kardashian said she has "nothing bad to say" about President Trump. Even though he helped her with a cause that's important to her, it's still a worrisome thing to say right now — especially given how much influence she has and some of the Trump administration's more polarizing policies.
Back in May, Kardashian visited the White House to ask for clemency for Alice Marie Johnson, a woman who had been in prison for more than 20 years on nonviolent drug trafficking charges and was sentenced to life without parole, as first brought to light by Mic. After Kardashian's meeting, Trump granted Johnson clemency and she was free, which was obviously a huge victory for both women.
And now, it seems like Kardashian was left with a pretty positive impression of Trump. Toward the end of their interview, Kimmel asked what it's like to disagree politically with her husband, and although she didn't exactly sing Trump's praises, she didn't condemn his actions, either. She said, "I have nothing bad to say about the president. He's done something amazing."
Jimmy Kimmel Live on YouTube
To be totally fair, she also mentioned that she doesn't agree with everything Trump does, but she didn't get specific or call out any particular policies. It seems like she's keeping their relationship strictly based on getting clemency for others in prison who she's working to help.
"I don't agree with everything either, you know," she said. "And I had no idea what to expect going in there, and I was just like, 'Look, I'm going to be focused,' and it really turned my idea around in this category."
Obviously, getting Johnson clemency was a big deal — and it was something only Trump could grant, so Kardashian is clearly grateful. But outwardly saying there's nothing bad she could say about him? That might be taking things too far when real people's lives are being affected by his policies in such negative ways.
Migrant children being separated from their parents at the border and detained, recent allegations of more inappropriate sexual behavior (which Trump has yet to comment on and the White House did not respond for comment when Bustle reached out), and the Trump-Cohen tapes are just a few of the newer reasons people have to disagree with Trump, his policies, and his behavior. It seems like that list just keeps on growing. Should someone with as much influence as Kardashian go on national television and seemingly ignore all that with one sweeping statement?
Earlier in the Kimmel interview, Kardashian also mentioned that she and West don't talk politics often, adding that even he doesn't agree with some of Trump's policies and is more into his personality and the way he beat the odds to become president.
"I always respect what another person thinks and to make it clear, when we would talk about it and would talk about policies, he doesn't necessarily agree with his policies, but he likes his personality and how he made it to be president when everyone really underestimated him," she said.
Some of Kardashian's words about Trump might be problematic, but it's still important to acknowledge what she was able to accomplish for Johnson with his help. Who knows what else she'll be able to get done now that she's gotten the ball rolling?


Onboard the Gravytrain: Passports ready...we're heading to the South!
Woo hoo! Kurt and I finally booked our flights to see the Georgia Bulldogs take on my beloved Auburn Tigers on November 14th! The game is in Auburn this year and (somewhat) conveniently coincides with a friend's wedding in Pensacola, Florida on Sunday. It's going to be quite a trip!
Our long journey begins on Thursday evening when we fly into Nashville. My parents have agreed to pick us up, and we will spend the night in Ardmore. I haven't been home since another wedding in April, so Kurt and I are going to hang out with my parents on Friday. I've been trying to brainstorm all the fun things we can do in Huntsville! So far, I've come up with the Space and Rocket Center, the Huntsville Botanical Gardens, and Constitution Village (where my mom used to work...period costume and all!). I doubt any of those things will happen. Hopefully we will just tool around Downtown Hunstville and Big Spring Park. I'm looking forward to a couple nice (and free!) meals with my folks and seeing all the improvements they've been doing on the house since they've been kid-free!
The means are unclear, but sometime Friday evening, Kurt and I are being transported to Birmingham. We may catch a ride with Jen's sister Sarah and fiancé Greg or my parents may take us. We'll be crashing at Casa Hale so we can be ready bright and early Saturday morning to head down to Auburn! I'm hoping the game is later in the day, so we can have a full day of tailgating (I hope Kurt will take notes and report back to Columbus!) and visiting with old friends. I also want to try and show Kurt some of campus and the town before the game. I haven't been back since graduation...I'm afraid I won't recognize the place!
Sunday morning, Kurt and I will be hitching a ride (thanks, Jess!) to the Gulf Coast (it will be so hard to come back to blustery New York after seeing the Florida beach!). Courtney, my former NYC cohort, is getting hitched that afternoon. She met her soon-to-be-husband at Auburn and they did the long distance thing between New York and Alabama for a while. I'm looking forward to briefly getting to know her guy, catching up with Courtney, seeing some old friends, and, of course, enjoying a wedding! I'm sure Kurt will be bored to tears (at least it isn't interfering with a football Saturday!) but it should be a good time. I'm not sure about the alcohol and dancing situation, but I don't foresee this being an all night party type of wedding. Good thing, because Kurt and I have to catch a flight from Pensacola back to NYC that night. Since we are taking the entire Friday off to visit with my parents, we did some itinerary acrobatics to get back to our city in time for work on Monday. I'm exhausted just thinking about all the running around already!
I'm looking forward to this trip. It's been a pretty good traveling year, every 2-3 months we go somewhere, I like it.
I'd also like to slip in there a visit to Rail Road Park http://www.railroadpark.org/ designed by a pretty prominent landscape architect Tom Leader.

Q: Postgresql index corruption cause - postgresql bug or hardware failure I have postgresql 9.5.2 production server which was having some serious problems with indexes.  The strongest piece of evidence supporting that claim is inconsistency between some queries:
select count(*) from x inner join y on x.a = y.a
select *        from x inner join y on x.a = y.a

The count(*) query would return a different number than the number of rows returned by the select * query, which just returned rows.  The first thing I tried was a vacuum analyze, but that didn't fix the problem.  Eventually, in order to get the server working again, dropped all indexes and rebuilt them, at which point the results became consistent between the select * and select count(*) queries.
Neither table has any triggers.  Table x has 1.7 million rows, and table y has 6.9 million rows and 600,000 deleted rows, and the tables are linked using a foreign key field a, which is the primary key in table x, and a not null foreign key constraint in table b.  The database server is hosted in a virtual machine.  The server is the only node, and there is no replication to other servers.  The system has never crashed, so while I know that a crashing server or postgres service can corrupt indexes, I have no reason to believe either of these happened because a) the postgres service has never been not available and b) the server indicates it has been up for a very long time, well before this problem manifested itself.
All of this data suggests that the problem was an index was not working correctly.  My research on corrupted indexes generally points to two causes, bugs in postgresql or hardware failure.
The solution to a hardware failure and a bug in the database itself are solved using radically different techniques, namely one involves purchasing hardware and the other involves writing programs to check the integrity of the indexes and taking appropriate action if necessary to correct the problems.
What pieces of evidence can I collect in favor of each theory (hardware failure vs. software bug)?

A: The best safeguard against hardware problems is to enable page checksums by using the --data-checksums option of initdb when creating the cluster.
But that won't help investigate past problems, and it requires a dump/reload of the database cluster.
If you do physical backups (with pg_basebackup or with pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup), it would be interesting to find the last backup where things were still ok. That might be tedious, but it will narrow down the window where to look for problems.
Do you have fsync = off or full_page_writes = off? Or are you using unreliable storage? Then your database can be corrupted by a crash even if there is no bug and the hardware is fine. Check the database log for crashes.
To find out if you are suffering from hardware problems, look at the operating system log files and perform hardware tests.
To check for known software problems, look at the release notes. If you have a corrupt index, you can ask the pgsql-hackers mailing list for help.

Q: Quoting an argument passed to a function Suppose I have the following function:
print_argument <- function(vector) {
  message(substitute(vector))
}

This function does what I want for the most part, e.g.,
abc <- 1:3
print_argument(abc)

# output:
# abc

But it doesn't work for the following argument:
df <- data.frame(a = 1:3)
col_name <- "a"
print_argument(df[[col_name]])

# output:
# [[dfcol_name

How would you update the function so that it also prints (using the message function) arguments like df[[col_name]] verbatim?
That is, how would you make it print (using the message function) the following: df[[col_name]]

A: We can deparse before wrapping with message
print_argument <- function(vector) {
  message(deparse(substitute(vector)))
 }

print_argument(df[[col_name]])
#df[[col_name]]

print_argument(abc)
#abc

When we get the substitute output, it is not a single string, and its components can be checked with as.list
print_argument <- function(vector) {
    as.list(substitute(vector))
   }
print_argument(df[[col_name]])
#[[1]]
#`[[`

#[[2]]
#df

#[[3]]
#col_name

print_argument(abc)
#[[1]]
#abc


I have always wanted to be the best. When I was younger, I wanted to be the fastest runner. If I didn't win a race, I would keep practicing until I did. I wanted my gym teacher to be proud. I wanted to prove to him that I was a strong, persevering athlete. Not only did this thirst for perfection happen in sports, but also in my academics. I was hard on myself, seeking for approval from all of my teachers. I wanted to be the best that I could be. My dad would often tell me, "Heidi, if your best gives you a B or even a C, I am proud of you." He also went on to say, "I want you to live a balanced life. Push yourself to work hard and invest your time in your academics, sports, relationships, and most importantly, stay close to God." Those precious words from my father are so simple, but yet so deep.
Ultimately, I love to teach. I could choose to take an interpretation created by my siblings that I was incredibly bossy as a child, or too strict because I was persistent to give my siblings a list of activities daily to keep them busy. But all jokes aside, along with my father, several others, and myself included, I believe God gave me the gift of teaching. With that gift, I need to remember to model what I teach, demonstrate God's love and grace, and to do my best in all I do. It is crucial to remember that teachers never stop learning, and to tell their students that learning does not end in grade 12, but will be carried on in their lives after school. "In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn" (Phil Collins). May we not only focus on details of curriculum, but also remember to reflect God's love in our personal lives, and to teach our students to pursue a life with God in the center.


Background: The factors influencing parents' willingness to enroll their children in biobanks are poorly understood. This study sought to assess parents' willingness to enroll their children, and their perceived benefits, concerns, and information needs under different consent and data-sharing scenarios, and to identify factors associated with willingness. Methods: This large, experimental survey of patients at the 11 eMERGE Network sites used a disproportionate stratified sampling scheme to enrich the sample with historically underrepresented groups. Participants were randomized to receive one of three consent and data-sharing scenarios. Results: In total, 90,000 surveys were mailed and 13,000 individuals responded (15.8% response rate). 5737 respondents were parents of minor children. Overall, 55% (95% confidence interval 50–59%) of parents were willing to enroll their youngest minor child in a hypothetical biobank; willingness did not differ between consent and data-sharing scenarios. Lower educational attainment, higher religiosity, lower trust, worries about privacy, and attitudes about benefits, concerns, and information needs were independently associated with less willingness to allow their child to participate. Of parents who were willing to participate themselves, 25% were not willing to allow their child to participate. Being willing to participate but not willing to allow one's child to participate was independently associated with multiple factors, including race, lower educational attainment, lower annual household income, public health care insurance, and higher religiosity. Conclusions: Fifty-five percent of parents were willing to allow their youngest minor child to participate in a hypothetical biobank. Building trust, protecting privacy, and addressing attitudes may increase enrollment and diversity in pediatric biobanks.

Role in the University
Module leader
Personal tutor
My academic background is in Psychology with a research focus on mental health and wellbeing in young people. I studied social sciences, research methods in psychology and public health at the University of Puerto Rico. I completed my PhD at Birkbeck University of London with a research project focusing on young men's experience of recovery and self-change from substance abuse in 12-step fellowships.
I joined the School of Psychology at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in September 2016. Previously, I taught Psychology on both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes at Birkbeck University of London.
European Health Psychology Society
Society for the Study of Addiction
My academic interests mainly centre on psychosocial aspects of mental health and wellbeing, and the development of experiential research methodologies.
My teaching on the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees for the 16/17 academic year include:
M4X02242 Introduction to Mental Health (module leader)
M5X00912 Psychology, Health & Medicine
M7X01449 Applied Research, Ethics and Analysis (postgraduate module – qualitative research methods)
M6X00914 Abnormal & Clinical Psychology (module leader)
M4X02245 Stress, Coping and Resilience (module leader)
The primary focus of my research is on the intertwining of psychosocial and emotional development in people's mental health and wellbeing. Presently most of my research activity addresses the study of emotional experience underpinning wellbeing (i.e. the experience of happiness), the role of spirituality in recovery from mental health disorders, and nature-based interventions for mental health.
Some of the topics that I have examined previously include young men´s recovery in 12-Step Fellowships, addiction counsellors´ implicit models of relapse prevention, the role of alexithymia in the development of addictive behaviours, and more recently, compulsive exercise in women with anorexia nervosa.

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
SoulMotown60sFemale vocalistsOldies
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were one of the most successful groups in the Motown roster during the 1960s and fully active from 1960 to present, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, rock and roll and soul.
The label's second most-successful all-female singing group after The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were known for a churchier, more southern-styled soul than the Supremes, as typified in Motown hits such as "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave" Read Full BioMartha Reeves & The Vandellas were one of the most successful groups in the Motown roster during the 1960s and fully active from 1960 to present, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, rock and roll and soul.
The label's second most-successful all-female singing group after The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were known for a churchier, more southern-styled soul than the Supremes, as typified in Motown hits such as "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave", "Jimmy Mack", "I'm Ready For Love", "My Baby Loves Me", "Nowhere to Run", and, their signature song, "Dancing in the Street".
The group had its origins in Detroit, Michigan in 1957, and had initially gone by the name The Del-Phis. It originally was a quartet comprising childhood friends Martha Reeves, Rosalind Ashford, Annette Beard, and original lead singer Gloria Williams. Williams left after a failed single on the Checkmate label, leaving the quartet as a trio. They changed their name to The Vells signing a deal with Motown's Mel-o-dy label, and singing background for established Motown performers such as Mary Wells and Marvin Gaye before signing a new deal with Motown's Gordy label on September 21, 1962, after which the group changed its name to Martha and the Vandellas.
In 1964, the Vandellas' lineup changed with Betty Kelley replacing Sterling. In 1967, Kelley was fired and was replaced by Martha's younger sister, Sandra "Lois" Reeves. In 1969, Ashford was also fired and replaced by Sandra Tilley. The lineup of the Reeves sisters and Tilley continued after Martha's return from an institution after suffering a nervous breakdown. The group disbanded following a farewell concert, held at Detroit's Cobo Hall on December 21, 1972., however, Reeves still performs with sister Lois and another Reeves sister, Delphine.

Dancing in the Street
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas Lyrics
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, and records playing
Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing (dancing in the street)
They're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street)
Baltimore and D.C. now (dancing in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music (sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (everywhere)
They're dancing
Way down in L.A. (dancing in the street)
Every day, they're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Let's form a big, strong line (dancing in the street)
Get in time, we're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Across the ocean blue (dancing in the street)
Me and you, we're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

@Barry White true

Not my most favorite but an undeniably fantastic genre!

Motown is probably the most loved record label on this planet and for good reason...😊
Eric Meece
It's the Motown Sound, of which this is a definitive example.

Please, listen many "Blue Notes" sessions, with Rudy Van Gelden, with his withe gloves, as Sound Sorcerer. With Miles, Thelonious, Milt Jakcson. The Sound of Bernie Gordie come from this guy, more or less..I discovered "Martha and the Vendellas" by...Chris Squire, Bassist and Founder of Yes. 5 years of "European Tours" as Bass Tech, 1999-2004. Many nights to talk Musics during many years. Finally, please also The Bass Solo of "Starships Troopers", Its a respectuous Hommage to "Bernie Gordy" Sound, James Jamerson of course. And Alan White, who played with Joe Cocker was reallly happy too. Martha and The Vendellas. A Pure Diamond.
Chasbo Daniels
The city of Detroit wasn't all that happy when Berry Gordy moved Motown to L.A. in search of bigger bucks.
Ada Rivera
l love those songs l'm from Puerto Rico but l will never change those songs that what we call music.

When this pandemic is over we will be 💃dancing in the street🕺

Please - no one can touch the original. Between the Funk Brothers' blistering groove and Martha and the Vandellas' perfect vocals, this is THE one.
Marie Militello
Je suis entièrement ok avec vous !! L'original est la meilleure version.👍👍
The National Timely Action Hour
Martha has such a beautiful voice and is a gorgeous woman!

this was the video which showcased her unique spirit the best
Lawrence Ruddy
My favorite girl group then and now. She IS beautiful.
Jim O'Donnelly
I was just sitting at the computer working, when this song came into my head. Not sure where it came from, but it made me feel so good, I had to stop work, and watch and listen to it again. It was great then, and it's GOLD now. One of the 60's very best records. Bless you Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
I was one of those white kids who didn't care (then or now) about the Beatles or the Stones. But give me Motown!
Ausiz
Man! This is an awesome tune! I get goosebumps whenever i hear it! And yet it's a very simple, straightforward song but with an extremely catchy, feel good vibe to it. A real hymn to those amazing 60's. Thanks Motown for making our lives happier! :)
Ryan Michael Wisniewski
Oh, we're ready for a brand new beat. There WILL be dancing in the streets of America on this fine eve!
fellini2011
Girls gettin' down and funky. The best version ever.
Derek Myers
Oh God she's so great. Every time I see her perform she brings tears to my eyes. Her charisma is top shelf, her smile, her sparkle. There's nobody like her and never will be. Wherever you are, Martha, I love you! (and I love you too Vandellas!)
I spent my summer vacation with my aunt, uncle and first cousins in Detroit when this classic single came out in 1964 ...everyone was literally dancing in the streets!!!
Shirley Dostoevsky
The sad thing is in 20 years only us old souls who kept traditional music alive will remember this.
Kelly Fuller
Hello Shirley, How are you doing?
Bob Port
Martha Reeves was an epic artist of rock 'n roll at a time when it really mattered. Perhaps in the future, rock historians, whatever they means, will recall her important contribution.
I feel privileged to have lived through the 60's what a time that was. I know we had The Beatles etc here in the UK, but the Motown stuff - well it just blew me away
Rooh Silva
Canta muito! Linda voz! A música é agradável de se ouvir do início ao fim😊👍😉👏👏👏👏👏

Hallelujah ... we did it fellow Americans! Can't think of anything I'd rather do than dance in the street to this tune!
SXI96
This is such a perfectly crafted song, great harmonies, it has stood the test of time, love it!
Jack Of Shades
I love every version of this song. Including the original.
SagesseNoir
I love that song. It sounds like an affirmation of LIFE and FREEDOM. Throw off the social shackles. Dancing in the streets. Celebrate LIFE!
James Mack
If you were alive during the time this was played, you would remember how extremely popular it was and how often it was played on the radio. It was and is one of the very best motown sound. (A sound which will in all probability - never be repeated - sadly)
Adrienne Robinson
Sad but True SMH
Carolyn Zaremba
Yep. I was in high school. We wore this record out.
kin2 trump
Such a great feeling
Hilary Segal
and they didn't have to do a strip show either! Sexy without being sordid - fame with the talent - class pure and simple - love love love this - was a kid when it was first a hit - this encapsulates the 60s and the fight for black people's rights was starting to brew and this was an early celebration of that struggle - it is timeless, class-less (in the best way!) and full of youthful hope - I will hold onto this song from then until I pass

This Song greatly embodies the spirit of the mood of the 60's. Sadly, the mood did not last.
Nancee Jay
We could SO USE a National Dance Party right about now!! THIS SONG never quits!!
MSL525
Great song, effort by these fabulous, important ladies. Such relaxed, while/but piercing vocals. Go Martha!
Marvin (Gaye) was killing the drums on this song as well, along with the rest of the Funk Brothers. Just such an awesome; tribal; swinging; funky music, back beat he and the other musicians provided to the clarion vocals.
Marvin co-wrote the song as well with Producer Mickey Stephenson and Ivy Joe Hunter. In addition, he was great friends with Martha Reeves. Just a bang up job by everyone at Motown on this unforgettable Classic!
Marcia Catron
One of the best by Martha & The Vandellas. I danced to them when I was younger & I'm still dancing in the streets now.
Kim Kelly
My sis had this record, and I ended up with it two years later when I got my first record player. I am dancing to this right now!
Doc Dee
I remember this song when I was three, growing up here in Detroit. I even remember the street parties. Man, it was fun. Every time I walk past the Motown Museum, a classic like this starts "dancing" in my head. 📀
Gordon Duffus
In The Navy, on a Communications Station in Greece... 1964-66. My girlfriend, back in Brooklyn, sent me this "45" and a friend of mine & me walked down the road, carrying a portable record player, playing this song over & over... trying to keep the player vertical and not skipping the record..Yeah... I remember this song! Thanks for the memories!
Bob Redferd
I played on a cassete recorder

The era of back-combing and tons of hairspray! Motown is still the best!
Deb Y
Oh my Stars!! The background vocals.. harmony at its best!!
Alex Berg
among the great songs of its era or ANY era......and I remember when it was first heard on the radio....thank you for sharing this....
Rusoviet Tovarich
The best opening 10 seconds in rock history - the brass before the percussion before the vocal - never done before - Mickey Stevenson producer and the version by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas was better than anyone else including the original song writer Marvin Gaye.
I am playing this all day long since I heard the news today! 😄🤸♂💃🏽🕺😄 great music is timeless!
Leigh Leigh David
Beautiful women!! Beautiful beat!!! Lovin it!

Kodie, that is exactly why the music of that time was so awesome, especially
Martha and the Vandellas, Lets dance!!
Trang Wuong
Incredible song and that bass line!
Lilian Gardner
I wish I could gather with a happy crowd and dance in the street before my knees give way.
I just read a comment 11/6/21, of this AMAZINGLY, PHENOMENAL, GIFTED LEGEND! In reference of her singing onstage with another oldie but goodie, still going strong, Mick Jagger! What a performance that would be huh? I always have loved this woman and her group and I pray for good health and blessings 🙏 to her and ALL the still going strong LEGENDARY singers/groups! ❤💋💖
Simple words that deeply Heart and Soul, especially in this time of so called uncertainty..Thank's so much for writin' the text of this Song. Thank's very much. Take care, Bro, For the moment this world is " a Shark's world", not for a long time. Love. Hope.
ValeriaTaylor
i love the groovy dancing from this era! they are "simple" but combined with that powerful voice they are like no one can beat them!
Hello Valeria, How are you doing?
Ann Weaver
We need more street dances like back in the 70's ppl could do there social distance and still be in fresh air apart ..
Randy Dubin
When people like David Bowie & Mick Jagger, Van Halen, and even Aqua cover this song, you know this is a classic.
FIX IT PRODUCTIONS
You can never bet RAW SOUL of the 60s. Imitation is the best form of flattery. This is who we are when it comes to music. All of (or most of )the Rockers give props to this era of music and song. Careers were built on the backs of this form of music. Long live Motown and all the Motown's around the world. We rule.
Truth Indeed AMEN
Jonathan Reid
Such a COOL song!! total evergreen!!
When you want to get to the basics and understand where music now days comes from. Seriously! The best ever!
Al Lagoon
Such a great voice. So easy and effortless, natural. The Grateful Dead brought me here.

All versions of this song are great
Bill Bird
If you haven't taken the time to see Hitsville: The Making of Motown, I urge you to do it. It's the last project Berry Gordy worked on before he finally let go of the label. It's one of the most amazing documentaries that I've seen.
I'm 19 years old and I love this song 😍😍
Linda Kidd
Martha & The Vandellas' music has me soaring through time - to my college years at the University of Maryland, College Park Campus. So upbeat and so happy; music to dance to! Those were happy years!
Hello Linda, How are you doing?

I sure am feeling this music today~!!!!!
yaskay
YES i just love this song and the performances.
meattyBeaty
Timeless classic.
Shell0517nj
I dedicate this to all who were dancing in the streets when Biden & Harris won! It's was amazing! Celebrate! Rejoice!
6 months later, I hear not one person showing one reason to dance as manufacturing, farming and energy jobs go down the drain, illegals pour over an unguarded border, crime increases, morale is killed, chaos is rising.
Oscar Mancilla
I used to watch this video ALL THE TIME back in fifth grade. I'm 20 now! I still tap my feet when I hear it!
Maureen Spangler
Love 💕 it !

Memories, dancing with beautiful girls on the waterfront in Washington. Absolute the best night of dancing
Margaret Frame
Let's hope so!! It's even uplifting listening to singers from this great era x
Magnifique !! J'adore.. indémodable !
Gale Jontz
Yes it is just as fab today as well as then. The song "Dancing in the Streets" ex presses hope of an era that's far from what we are used to today due to fear spread around the world from Covid-19. . .but. "We will not go quietly in the dark. . ." The E-Birthday Party begins today and will continue until the fat lady sings!
Lorenzo Sukhu
OMG, this is nothing but nostalgia for me, since my dad used to play it.
xternalfixator
this is a great song . with a great message . maybe it should be revised for today's audience
bob stone
What a voice.

este vídeo representa a las primeras figuras de color en los estados unidos.
en aquellos días la nación estaba en desorden y estas figuras llamaban a la pacificación de las mazas.
con mucho valor aparecían las vandellas.

A time that will be forever, indelibly, etched in my heart, mind and soul. I'm still dancing to this fabulous, sweet music. Thank you, Ms. Martha and the Vandellas for this beautiful, fabulous, sweet time!!!!!!!! thank you for the post Drake
Hilary April
I want a time machine
...i was 15 years old when this was a hit....2020 is a nightmare !
This song would be ranked #40 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of all Time and was added to the National Recording Registry. Now THAT'S a song!
Too bad almost none of today's songs would be given those honors.

A few weeks ago, I was eating dinner on the banks of the Flensburg fjord in northern Germany when two swans took flight from the water. They are amazingly powerful birds; the largest swans are the heaviest flying animals alive, and once aloft they don't lumber in the least; they're the 747s of the bird class.
Swans have a complex interrelationship with the human societies of northern Europe – indeed, throughout the temperate world. That relationship continues today, in fact and in imagination.
Swans keep coming up wherever I look recently. (Not long after I wrote this review, I opened Henning Mankell's Before the Frost, which begins with a serial killer setting swans on fire.) At a museum shop in Schleswig, not far from Flensburg (a day's drive from Copenhagen, for that matter), I saw a German translation of Peter Young's Swan and resolved to read it (in the English original) as soon as I could. I had enjoyed Young's Tortoise, also for Reaktion Animal, but found it one of the thinner efforts in the series. Swan is a more substantial book: still at times a lists of facts strung one after the other, but with thoughtful attention to the perils that face swans in an environment crowded by humans.
Swans are emblems of purity and chastity (they mate for life, or at least for much of it). But they also stand for unrestrained eroticism. (Young's art-history chapter is a positively hot selection of images of Leda and her attendant swan.) Swans are calm and dignified; they're also pugnacious, one of the few bird species capable of doing grievous harm to humans. Like all large animals, swans are endangered by human encroachment on their habitat. They have large appetites and long ranges, and we trap them inadvertently in the networks, figural and literal, of our civilization.
Swans take irritably to domestication, and they are not very good to eat. (So say most culinary traditions; I've never eaten one myself, and to be fair, they've served as a food source faute de mieux in many cultures.) Roast swan was the prerogative, in medieval and early-modern Europe, of noblemen and high clerics who could afford to maintain swanneries and swanherds. Swans, in English cookery, are basically geese on steroids. My gosh, I suppose a swan is literally in some respects a goose on steroids.
But Young keeps coming back to the classic lines of the swan, a compromise between musculature, skeleton, and gravity that has made swans inescapable in advertising iconography. They just look good, and, as Hans Christian Andersen's fable of the Ugly Duckling tells us, they look best grown up. They are an adult kind of bird, well worth our contemplation and our conservation.
Young, Peter. Swan. London: Reaktion Books, 2008.


Have you suffered losses investing in Continental Resources Bonds? If so, the attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help.
According to their website, Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR) is a top 10 independent oil producer in the U.S. Lower 48 and a leader in America's energy renaissance. Based in Oklahoma City, Continental is the largest leaseholder and one of the largest producers in the nation's premier oil field, the Bakken of North Dakota and Montana.
Continental Resources Inc. reported a bigger-than-expected fourth-quarter loss on Feb. 24 as depressed crude prices depleted margins.
Continental is exposed more than many of its peers to the price fluctuations as it famously canceled its oil hedges at the end of 2014, betting that prices would rise. However, they only dropped further.
Continental, which was founded by billionaire wildcatter Harold Hamm, posted a net loss of $139.7 million, or 38 cents per share, compared with a net profit of $114 million, or 41 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Excluding property impairments and other one-time items, Continental lost 23 cents per share. In that regard, analysts expected a loss of 21 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters.
High-yield bonds—also called non-investment-grade bonds, speculative-grade bonds, or junk bonds—such as Continental Resources 3.8% 1jun2024 , are bonds that are rated below investment grade, typically 'BB' or lower by Standard & Poor's and 'Ba' or lower by Moody's. They pay high yields to bondholders because the borrowers credit ratings are less than pristine, making it difficult for them to acquire capital at an inexpensive cost. Junk bonds carry an above average risk that the issuer will default on the bond. The increased risk makes them arguably unsuitable for many investors.
If you have concerns regarding your investment in Continental Resources and would like to speak with a securities attorney about your litigation options, please call The White Law Group at (888) 637-5510 for a free consultation.

Abstract: This paper examines the connection between shareholdings by different groups of corporate officers (insiders and outsiders) and market valuation in South Africa. Specifically, we examine the effect of shareholdings by employees, chief executive officers (CEOs), chief financial officers (CFOs), other executive directors, and non-executive (outside) directors on market valuation. We find that total ownership by all corporate officers (insiders and outsiders) is positively related to market valuation. However, when we examine the link between ownership by individual groups of corporate officers and market valuation, our results suggest that firms with higher ownership by CEOs and other executive directors have lower market valuation, but we do not find any evidence that ownership by CFOs has any significant effect on market valuation. In contrast, we find that ownership by employees and non-executive outside) directors is positively related to market valuation. Our findings are generally consistent with the predictions of agency theory.
Keywords: corporate governance; market valuation; corporate officer ownership groups; agency theory; convergence of interests; entrenchment; South Africa; endogeneity; corporate ownership; shareholdings; corporate insiders; corporate outsiders; CEOs; CFOs; executive directors; non-executive directors.
