Our Winter Guards compete in the Midwest Color Guard Circuit (MWCGC). The Midwest Circuit is one of the oldest color guard organizations in the nation and world, entering its 57th consecutive season of competition. MWCGC allows performers of all ages to compete, so at most contest spectators can see performers of all ages, from elementary age students who then move up to the largest class, the high school class, to independent guards (not associated with one particular school or district), and even "senior" guards (over 22 years old).
The Warren JV Winter Guard competes in the "SRA" class which stands for "Scholastic Regional A" class, the entry-level high school class. The Varsity Winter Guard competes in the "SA" class which is the top-level high school class. After several regional competitions, member units compete at the Midwest Color Guard Championships which are held in LaPorte, Indiana.

Drifting Away: De-Occupying the Palestinian Self
Speed Sisters, directed by Amber Fares. Palestine, 2015.
"If only you'd resist the occupation with something other than sports and fashion," complained a YouTube user in the comments section of a video about the Speed Sisters—an all-female Palestinian race-car driving team in the West Bank, and the first of its kind in the Middle East.
The comment is mentioned in the documentary Speed Sisters, by filmmaker Amber Fares. The film shadows the five enthusiastic race-car drivers, highlighting the experiences that pushed them towards the sport; the sometimes cordial and supportive, sometimes tense and competitive, dynamic within the team; the familial and communal responses to race-car driving and female involvement in it; and, not surprisingly, its relationship with the occupation.
The film is structured chronologically around a series of official races that take place throughout the year, in which the women compete against one another for the fastest time, the title of champion, and the honor of representing Palestine in international races. A significant portion of the film, however, takes place behind the scenes, in the different parts of the Occupied Territories where the "sisters" live—in geographic proximity but stark experiential disparity.
Through intimate glimpses into the seemingly ordinary aspects of their day-to-day lives—where they work, what their hobbies are, what routes they routinely navigate—the film manages, without much commentary, to portray the fragmented, diverse life-worlds that exist in the Occupied Territories. Here differences in class, identity documents, familial responsibility, communal piety, and more have cultivated a multitude of ways of being under an occupation that does not necessarily impose itself indiscriminately—its oppressive effects mediated and shaped by a variety of conditions.
While the film does not confront the occupation as a subject directly, it does not attempt to stop its inevitable seeping into the narrative either. Instead, it allows its impact on even the most mundane aspects of daily life to assert itself. Team captain Maysoon, for example, laughs as she passes the notorious Qalandia checkpoint amidst tear gas and gunfire, seemingly desensitized to this everyday spectacle of violence. "I remember my childhood during the first Intifada," she says casually. "We used to breathe it on our way to and from school."
Marah is arguably the Speed Sister most passionately committed to the sport, her devotion tinged with a desperate desire to hold onto what she frames as her only means of release from the often stifling conditions of life in the Jenin refugee camp. Unlike, for example, self-sufficient business owner Maysoon, or Noor, whose family home discloses her middle to upper middle class standing, Marah does not have a Jerusalem ID, which would allow her access to Haifa, Akka, and "the sea in Jaffa" without the need for a difficult-to-secure permit from the Israeli authorities. This perhaps explains the other women's comparatively casual approach to the sport, with Noor taking her repeated losses in the filmed races fairly well and Maysoon coming to terms relatively easily with her upcoming move to Amman to be with her new husband.
In contrast, Marah's father is a dental technician who says he works eighteen to twenty hours a day in anticipation of any potential crackdown, curfew, or war that might obstruct his ability to support his family. As her number one fan, he temporarily set aside his aspiration to purchase a plot of familial land in order to buy Marah a race-car. This highlights the collective catharsis that her involvement in the Speed Sisters enables her family to experience routinely, and which, not surprisingly, also burdens her with a sense of hefty responsibility.
The film follows the Speed Sisters as they navigate the socio-cultural difficulties of engaging in an activity not only new to Palestine, but conventionally deemed unsuitable for women. While some of their relatives and compatriots view their racing as a source of pride, others frame it as inappropriate, as a waste of time, or as a tolerated but ephemeral practice to be abandoned when the women begin building proper careers or families. In navigating a plethora of responses, the film again composes a complicated picture of Palestinian society, avoiding problematic dichotomies like modernity/tradition, conservative/liberal, and pious/secular. It thus highlights the multiplicity of desires and norms at play in the Occupied Territories and, in turn, the variety of competing discourses in circulation within it. Marah's grandfather had hoped she would become a doctor and open a clinic, welcoming all of Jenin's residents as her clients. Maysoon's family asks why she doesn't wear the veil. Perpetually dolled-up Betty emphasises her mother's insistence that she always look her best, which in her case seems to imply tight-fighting clothing, acrylic nails, and deep makeup.
But Speed Sisters also highlights the ways in which race car driving, while simultaneously allowing women to subvert and/or transcend certain gender norms, can be co-opted by patriarchal figures and used to re-inscribe such codes. While Marah is the most successful of the five with the strongest record, Betty is regularly favored by the judges and the Palestinian racing federation who, for example, refuse to penalize her even for significant violations (for example, racing with an open trunk), while disqualifying Marah several times for any and all infractions. There seems to be a constant attempt to condition the races in order to increase Betty's chances at winning, and this does not go unnoticed by the other race-car drivers. Maysoon comments on the fact that despite Marah's greater technical success, she was never able to garner the fame that Betty has, becoming the face of Palestinian female racing. Aware of this dynamic, Betty credits her beauty and femininity as significant contributors to her popularity. "I'm a brand," she says.
It is easy to see the Speed Sisters and their sport as an exercise in distraction and escapism within the context of a debilitating occupation. Racing can be read as a practice that allows these women and their enthusiastically supportive families to literally transport themselves, albeit temporarily, out of the tightly bounded space in which they are hermetically sealed. The mechanisms of routine structural violence and discipline are meant to disable resistance not only by making it nearly impossible to engage in physically, but also to snuff out or de-cultivate the sensibilities and dispositions that fuel it—the attachment to tangible, possible futures imagined as both desirable and achievable; a preserved sense of human dignity in need of fierce protection; and solidarity and communal identity across checkpoints, refugee camps, and inaccessible nation-states.
Faced with so few opportunities to act agentively, Manal, Betty, Mona, Noor, and Marah can be understood as retreating into a space of pseudo-mobility—the race car—that can provide them with a false, fleeting sense of freedom. The race car might be seen as a sanctuary where the occupation is temporarily suspended and where, as an ostensible result and consequence, it cannot be resisted. In setting aside or stepping out of the zone of oppression, these women—or so the perspective of the YouTube commentator mentioned at the start of this article seems to suggest—are also setting aside the battle against it.
There are, however, alternative ways of perceiving the Speed Sisters' insistence on "release," as they call it. In his book on the popularity of joyriding among some Saudi youth in Riyadh, Pascal Menoret asks: "if class struggle is inscribed in space but demonstrations, sit-ins, and strikes are banned, what spatial form can that struggle take?"[1] He frames drifting as "a way to reclaim alienating and threatening urban spaces" in a city that has "become a disciplinary space, where social and economic pressures enclosed individuals in tiny, dehumanizing routines, and where all shades of public debate were banned."[2]
Palestinians in the Occupied Territories can also be described as living, like the Saudi youth described by Menoret, a form of "internal exile"—albeit of a drastically different sort, facilitated by an occupation that not only destroys but also coercively cultivates ways of being. In many ways, the productive power of the Israeli occupation can be a more effective tool than its destructive power, not just for the suppression of resistance, but for the structuring of it as an impossibility. It arranges the conditions of daily life in such a way that one's existence becomes goalless and/or pointless, preoccupied with and whittled down to survival. This means bearing with a space and condition that one is sealed into but over which one cannot exercise much (or any) control, allowing only for its careful navigation with the intention of bringing as little pain onto oneself and one's loved ones as possible. Under circumstances of "ideal occupation," the Palestinian will come to lack purpose and direction other than making it through a given day; her present is forced to unfold on a humdrum loop that dismantles the ability to imagine alternative tomorrows.
But when the Speed Sisters arrive at their training area, which borders Ofer Prison, the only Israeli detention center in the West Bank, they are breaking with this routine. That is, they are engaging in an anti-disciplinary or alternative disciplinary measure, the thrilling nature of which has the capacity to jolt the body and, perhaps, facilitate a de-numbing: to counter the sedative effects of an occupation that desensitizes as it inflicts pain by making itself ubiquitous and ordinary, fostering a kind of resigned detachment. By getting in their cars and speeding across a makeshift track with the threatening eyes of IDF soldiers fixed on their vulnerable bodies, these Palestinian women can be seen as regularly practicing a kind of rupturing. It is an act that undermines the occupation's routine attempts to foster an apathetic Palestinian subject capable or even desirous of nothing more than coping with a status quo perceived as irreversible and unchangeable.
"We're tired of seeing the same streets and faces. It's not easy for us to break with routine," explains Marah from Jenin. Racing has come to sit at the center of her life. She says she feels a responsibility to make Jenin proud and is egged on by her father. The team, and the formal races they regularly participate in throughout the year, constitute an alternative or subversive routine, as they actively and regularly undermine the hegemonic one imposed by the occupation as a means of trapping Palestinians in a numbing cycle of regimented hardship.
Racing allows a literal, physical form of limited mobility, not only to the drivers but also to their families and supporters; it gives them an official reason for traveling to other parts of the Occupied Territories and even Jordan. It also offers a more visceral form of movement towards a goal, towards championships, titles, and new records that allow for the cultivation of honor, pride, dignity, and self-respect for the driver, her family, and her community. While, in the Saudi Arabian context discussed by Menoret, a "politics of fun" manifests as "a way to flaunt extreme leisure in the face of state repression," and as an "extreme practice that continuously 'unbuilds' the city,"[3] in the case of the Speed Sisters and the West Bank it can be understood as both produced by and productive of the virtue of sumud, or steadfastness, so often associated with Palestinians and their sense of self and nation.
It is through the Speed Sisters' insistence on remaining committed to their sport—through a determination to find a training space, to speed across even the most modest stretches of land, to cling to a source of pride and purpose within an increasingly limited, humiliating, and alienating space, and to assert their presence in and belonging to this territory, however hostile it might increasingly be—that allows race car driving as portrayed in this film to emerge as a form of Palestinian resistance. This is because it has the potential to impact subjectivity, and to hinder or unmake the docile subject that the occupation is invested in shaping. It is by thinking of the occupation and Israeli power as not only obstructing but also working on Palestinian subjectivities, of not only attempting to destroy but attempting to construct a certain kind of Palestine and Palestinian, that acts such as race car driving can emerge as a form of counter-discipline and, therefore, resistance.
Despite the hopeful tone that seems to underpin much of the documentary, it is punctured by what it presents as the tragic temporariness of race car driving. Perhaps as an extension, it suggests the precariousness of everyday resistance more generally, regularly challenged by the temptation to move on from the conflict or from permanent struggle when the opportunity to do so presents itself. As two of the characters prepare to wed, one will leave the West Bank for Jordan while the other will abandon racing for married life. An existence dedicated to a resistance without a foreseeable resolution or endpoint, the implication seems to be, is a difficult one to remain committed to.
On a more critical note, while the documentary's strength emanates from its subject matter and the compelling women it focuses on, the filmmaker's apparent attempt to make her characters familiar to a foreign audience and to foster sympathy for them tends to marginalize the occupation, and politics more generally. These are relegated to the peripheries of the film—perhaps unintentionally, perhaps purposefully. Naturally, the occupation crawls its way back to center, as discussed earlier, informing as it does nearly all aspects of Palestinian life in the Occupied Territories, prompting the viewer to potentially ask, as I have here, whether the practice of race-car driving contributes to or deviates from resistance. It is, however, hard to ignore the "feel-good" nature of the film, punctuated as it is with upbeat Western popular music and comedic engagements with violence—Maysoon laughs at Qalandia tension, Betty gets hit in the behind with a teargas canister and is mocked by her fellow Speed Sisters—and the implications of that approach for a film about life in the Occupied Territories.
The film also sometimes gives the impression that it is attempting to make Palestinians and the Palestinian condition "digestible" to a foreign audience, highlighting, only in a superficial way, the difficulties that interrupt, complicate, and dampen their everyday lives without venturing too much into "controversial" or "political" territory. The film presents a traffic jam near a checkpoint, and a soldier shooting a tear gas canister, but all without much elaboration or context. It thus presents a population being aggressively managed, but skims over the historical horrors that enabled this present and the appalling nature of the status quo.
At other moments, the film also appears to be engaged in a problematic attempt to make its characters recognizable, emphasizing their command of English and their fondness for and adoption of various features of Western popular culture (fashion trends and turns of phrase, for example). In so doing, however, the film makes visible the one-directional porosity of the (constantly shifting) borders around the Occupied Territories, across which Palestinians have an inordinately hard time moving but through which Western cultural forms, values, and norms seem to regularly pass, transported by educational institutions, the media, NGO workers, and more. Unseen by many, Palestinians can see and absorb select elements of the outside world. In this manner, however, the film runs the risk of making sympathy for and solidarity with Palestinians contingent upon their successful acquiescence to Western conceptions of proper comportment and resistance, instead of drawing attention to the history and anatomy of an occupation that has enabled many of the practices, beliefs, and sensibilities those on the outside cannot make sense of.
Despite its sometimes superficial treatment of the occupation and questionable framing of its Palestinian protagonists, Speed Sisters does succeed in highlighting one of the many ways in which Palestinians continue to cultivate their commitment to struggle and their sense of nationhood despite the occupation's active attempt to obstruct and undo such processes. Also, by zooming in on the seemingly banal details of everyday life in the West Bank, Speed Sisters manages to present a more nuanced and layered portrayal of the micro-dynamics that fragment it as a lived space—complexities that can be overlooked by a mere focus on the overarching occupation.

Johannes Carsten Hauch (ur. 1790, zm. 1872) – duński poeta romantyczny.

Życiorys
Johannes Carsten Hauch urodził się w 1790 roku w miejscowości Frederikshald w Norwegii. Był synem Frederika Haucha i Karen Tank. Po śmierci matki wrócił z ojcem do Dania. Walczył jako ochotnik podczas interwencji brytyjskiej w 1807 roku. W 1808 zapisał się na Uniwersytet w Kopenhadze. W 1821 roku uzyskał doktorat. Poznał między innymi Adama Gottloba Oehlenschlägera. Szybko uznał za swoje założenia romantyzmu. Po opublikowaniu pierwszych poematów dramatycznych zniechęcił się do literatury z powodu niewielkiego odzewu, jaki wzbudziły jego prace i poszedł na studia przyrodnicze. W 1821 roku uzyskał doktorat z zoologii i udał się na studia za granicę. W Nicei stał się ofiarą wypadku, po którym amptowano mu jedna stopę. Wkrótce potem poeta podjął nieudaną próbę samobójczą. Otrząsnąwszy się z chwilowej depresji, z tym większą siłą powrócił do pracy literackiej. Po powrocie do ojczyzny poeta był wykładowcą nauk przyrodniczych w Sorø, profesorem literatury skandynawskiej w Kilonii (1846–48) i estetyki w Kopenhadze. Zmarł w Rzymie w 1782.

Twórczość
Johannes Carsten Hauch był powieściopisarzem, poetą i dramaturgiem. Pisał wiersze i tragedie o tematyce historycznej. Wydał między innymi tomiki Lyriske digte (Wiersze liryczne, 1842), Lyriske digte og romancer (Wiersze i romanse liryczne, 1861) i Nye digtninger (Nowa poezja, 1869). Sztuki Haucha są mroczne i pełne cierpienia, a ich pesymistyczny wydźwięk jest złagodzony jedynie przez mocną wiarę w zasady moralne i ogólną sprawiedliwość. Bohaterami są wielkie postacie historyczne, sułtan turecki Bajazet, cesarz rzymski Tyberiusz, papież Grzegorz VII, król Svend Grathe i Marsk Stig, duński Robin Hood. Hauch pisał także powieści w stylu Waltera Scotta. Jedną z nich jest En polsk familie (Polska rodzina, 1839), której akcja rozgrywa się w czasie Powstania listopadowego.

Stinging Insects | A Guide To The Stinging Insects Of Maryland & D.C.
As their name describes, stinging insects are insects that use stingers to defend themselves when they feel threatened. When living and nesting outside and away from people, stinging insects are beneficial. They are responsible for pollinating a wide variety of plants and crops. Predatory species control populations of nuisance insects.
There are several species of stinging insects found living in the Baltimore, Maryland and Washington DC areas.
Yellow jackets are a predatory species of stinging insect that feed on a variety of other insects. Yellow jackets have segmented, hairless bodies, and distinct, thin waists. When at rest, their wings fold laterally against their bodies. Yellow jacket faces and heads are a blend of black and yellow colors. Their bodies have a well-defined yellow and black striped pattern.
European hornets are long and full-bodied. They are brown with yellow stripes on their abdomen. Their faces are pale in color. European hornets are the only true species of hornet found living in the United States.
Bald-faced hornets have long, thin, wasp-like bodies. Bald-faced hornets are black in color except for an off-white color pattern on their faces, at the end of their abdomen, and on their thorax.
Paper wasps have pinched waists and long, thin legs that dangle below their bodies when flying. Their bodies are black or brown in color, and have yellow or orange markings. Their wings are grayish in color.
Mud daubers are a large, solitary species of stinging insect. They range in color from black to metallic blue, depending on the exact species, and they may or may not have yellow or green markings.
Cicada killers are a large species of wasp. Adults grow between two and three inches in length. Cicada killers range in color from black to rusty red, and they have yellow and black banding on their abdomen. Their heads are reddish-brown in color, and they have yellowish-tinted wings that are heavily veined.
Carpenter bees are large in size. Due to their size, these black and yellow bees are often mistaken as bumble bees. However, carpenter bees have smooth shiny, black abdomens, unlike bumble bees, whose abdomens are yellow and hairy.
Stinging insects are a danger to people. While not all species of stinging insects are aggressive, they all have the ability to deliver painful, venom-filled stings as a means of defense. Their venom is powerful enough to trigger serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis in some people, which requires immediate medical attention. Some species have smooth stingers, allowing them to sting over and over again, while others have barbed stingers, meaning they can only sting once.
Stinging insects are nesting and feeding on your property because it is offering them the things they need to thrive. Stinging insects, depending on their exact species, feed on a variety of materials, including insects, proteins, nectar, sweets, and honeydew. Stinging insects are most active during the end of the summer and early fall. This is when their colonies are at peak numbers, and they spend a lot of time foraging for food to feed its members. Compost piles, garbage cans, gardens, flowering vegetation, untreated wooden structures, clogged gutters, outdoor eating areas, bird baths, and ponds are all attractive to stinging insects.
Yellow jackets are typically ground-nesters though some will build above-ground nests on houses and buildings, or in bushes and trees with low-hanging limbs.
European hornets build their large paper nests in natural cavities, including their favorite spots inside hollow trees.
Bald-faced hornets create paper-like nests three feet or higher up off the ground.
Paper wasps are semi-social and live together in small colonies. They are often identified by the umbrella-shaped nests that they create from a paper-like material.
Mud daubers are a solitary species of stinging insect. They create their nests out of mud and other natural materials.
Carpenter bees are solitary. Females create their individual nests by drilling a hole the diameter of their bodies and tunneling inside older or untreated pieces of wood. They are commonly found nesting in wooden decks, fence rails, wooden trim, wooden furniture, overhangs, and window sills.
Cicada killers are solitary and do not live in nests. Females create underground burrows. They dig about twelve inches into the ground, creating individual cells to lay their eggs in. Cicada killers prefer to make their nests in lawns and in sandy areas.
Other common nesting spots for stinging insects include underneath porches, decks, and roof eaves. Inside, stinging insects create nests in attics, crawl spaces, chimneys, vents, and in outbuildings such as barns, sheds, and garages.

With her inaugural Savage X Fenty lingerie show, Rihanna really flipped the script on New York Fashion Week—with an incredibly diverse cast (and immersive performance experience), a model in labor, impressive social media engagement…. And she's riding all that buzz to announce a brand-new launch for the label—and one with a deeply personal meaning for the performer and designer.
Savage X Fenty released a limited-edition capsule collection benefitting the Clara Lionel Foundation, the non-profit Rihanna founded in 2012 (and is named after her grandparents) that benefits education and emergency response programs globally.
There are three pieces: a cotton tank top, logo bikini bottom, and satin robe. They bear a custom logo (which you can see most clearly on the robe) that marries the world of Savage X Fenty with that of the organization.
"This sleepwear set is stylish and comfortable. But more than that, when you wear it, you know you have taken a stand and given back to an incredible cause," Rihanna said in a statement. As with all Savage X Fenty drops, the capsule comes in a size-inclusive range of XS through 3X. The tank top and bikini bottom are sold as a set for $63, while the robe retails for $68.
Rihanna has used her companies and brand affiliations to benefit the Clara Lionel Foundation in the past. This Savage X Fenty capsule joins the Fenty Killawatt Diamond Ball-Out, Fenty x Puma Clara Lionel Women's Creeper, and Dior's We Should All Be Feminists T-shirt in fundraising for the organization.

North River Wastewater Treatment Plant
Acasă › Grupuri › Our Green Harlem ›
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Bureau of Wastewater Treatment manages a comprehensive program to improve water quality in the New York City area. The City's 14 wastewater treatment plants, including the North River facility, play a crucial role in the City's efforts to improve water quality. Also called sewage treatment or water pollution control plants, these facilities remove most pollutants from used water before it is discharged into local waterways. New York City's plants treat about 1.4 billion gallons of wastewater from homes, businesses, schools, and streets in the five boroughs every day.
Effective wastewater treatment is critical to the quality of life and the physical health of New York City residents and visitors. It not only protects people who use local beaches and waterways for swimming, fishing and other recreational activities, it also protects local wildlife and their habitats.
Improving the Hudson's Water Quality
The North River wastewater treatment plant is located on the Hudson River, west of the West Side Highway from 137th Street to 145th Street. The plant provides wastewater treatment for the hundreds of thousands of people who live and work in or visit the west side of Manhattan, from Bank Street in Greenwich Village to Inwood Hill at the island's northern tip. North River treats about 125 million gallons of wastewater every day during dry weather, and it is designed to handle up to 340 million gallons a day when the weather is wet.
North River's history
From the first proposal in 1914, seven locations were investigated as possible sites for the construction of a plant to handle the sewage flow from western Manhattan. However, it was not until 1962, after considering several locations, that the City Planning Commission held a public hearing and finally approved the present site for the treatment plant. Design studies were started in the early 1960s and detailed plans were finished in 1971. Construction of the foundation platform was completed in 1978.
Construction of the treatment plant went forward in two phases. Work on the advanced preliminary treatment facilities began in 1983; the secondary treatment facilities were started in 1985. In March 1986, advanced preliminary treatment went into operation, eliminating the daily discharge of raw sewage into the Hudson River for the first time in the City's history. Secondary treatment began in April 1991.
The North River wastewater treatment plant is built on a 28-acre reinforced concrete platform over the Hudson River. It rests on 2,300 caissons pinned into bedrock up to 230 feet beneath the river. The roof of the building is the home of Riverbank State Park, a popular recreational facility with three swimming pools, an amphitheater, an athletic center, a skating rink, a restaurant and sports fields –– and, of the two New York State park facilities in the City, the only one built on top of a water pollution control plant.
North River has been widely recognized for its innovative design. Its many awards include citations from the Concrete Industry Board, the National Society of Professional Engineers, the New York State Association of Architects, and the City Club of New York. In 1994, the plant received the Water Environment Federation's Award for Outstanding Achievement in Water Pollution Control for its significant contribution to improving water quality in New York Harbor.
The wastewater treatment process
Several stories underground, wastewater flows into the North River plant from an 11-mile-long intercepting sewer that extends along Manhattan's west side. Upon entering the plant, the wastewater first passes through upright bars that remove large items, including rags, sticks, newspapers, cans and other debris. The trash is automatically scraped from the bars and later transported to a landfill. Five main sewage pumps lift the wastewater to the surface level primary settling tanks. The flow of the water is slowed, allowing the heavier solids to settle on the bottom and the lighter materials to float. Oil and grease are skimmed from the top of the tanks and the heavy solids, called "primary sludge," are scraped off the bottom for further processing.
The partially-treated wastewater then flows to the secondary treatment system. Secondary treatment is called the "activated sludge process," because air and "seed" sludge from the plant treatment process are added to the wastewater to break it down further. Air pumped into five, 30-foot-deep aeration tanks stimulates the growth of oxygen-using bacteria and other tiny organisms that consume most of the remaining organic materials that pollute the water.
The aerated wastewater then flows to 16 final settling tanks, where heavy particles and other solids again settle to the bottom. Some of this sludge is recirculated back to the aeration tanks as "seed" to stimulate the treatment process. The remaining solids are removed and join the primary sludge for further processing in sludge-handling facilities.
To destroy disease-causing organisms, the wastewater is disinfected with sodium hypochlorite, the same chemical found in common household chlorine bleach. The treated wastewater, called effluent, is then released into the Hudson River.
Sludge produced by primary and secondary treatment is approximately 97 percent water, and must be concentrated for further processing. It is sent to thickening tanks for a period of up to 24 hours, where it settles to the bottom. The water that remains is directed back to the aeration tanks for additional treatment.
The thickened sludge, which is about 96 percent water, is then placed in oxygen-free tanks called digesters and heated first to 95 degrees fahrenheit. This stimulates the growth of anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that thrive without oxygen), which consume the organic material in the sludge. Methane gas, one of the byproducts of the digestion process, is used as fuel in certain plant operations.
Converting sludge into biosolids
After digestion, the sludge is dewatered. Dewatering reduces the amount of water the sludge contains, producing a moist, soil-like substance called "biosolids" that is easier to handle. Because North River has no dewatering facilities, sludge from the plant is transferred by boat for dewatering at the Wards Island wastewater treatment plant, the site of one of the City's eight dewatering facilities.
After dewatering, all of the City's biosolids, including those generated at North River, are recycled and reused. The biosolids are removed from the dewatering facilities by companies that have been awarded long-term contracts by the City. These companies either convert biosolids into environmentally safe fertilizer products or directly apply them onto land to enrich nutrient depleted soil. North River's biosolids are either thermally dried into fertilizer pellets, composted, or alkalline stabilized into a product which resembles soil and is used as an agricultural liming agent.
To improve the control of odors from the plant, New York City has recently spent an additional $55 million beyond the cost of construction of the original odor control facilities. North River's odor control facilities are among the most elaborate in the country.
During the odor control process, plant air is pumped into a large tank and scrubbed clean with a mixture of two chemicals, sodium hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide (lye). The air is then funneled through activated carbon filters, which absorb odors and chemicals and remove the remaining odor-producing particles. The air is then released through 100-foot ventilation stacks on the plant roof.
Monitoring the system
All of the plant's systems are controlled by a sophisticated computer system. From the main control console, operators can oversee plant operations, energy use and North River's security system.

U of U Undergraduate Research Symposium to Feature Diversity in Presentations
March 31, 2006 — The public can get a sampling of the wide variety of research being performed by undergraduate students at the University of Utah on Monday when the U's Honors and Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programs present a symposium, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., in the Olpin Union, 200 S. Central Campus Drive (1595 E.), on the University of Utah campus.
The student lectures, most of which will last 20 minutes, include cutting edge research in the sciences and medicine as well as creative projects in the arts and humanities. All are free and open to the public. For a schedule of events and complete listing of presentations, visit http://www.ugs.utah.edu/urop/symposium/schedule.htm. The oral, poster and performing arts presentations-about 150 in all-will demonstrate the depth and diversity of research being performed at the U. Recently, the Carnegie Foundation placed the University of Utah in the highest classification category, one of 95 institutions of higher education (out of 4,321) deemed research universities.
"This event presents research done by undergraduates at the University of Utah in the form of poster sessions, oral presentations, performances and artistic installations. It is, for these undergraduates, the culmination of original, often cutting edge, research done over one or two semesters with a faculty mentor. The entire Olpin Union will be devoted to the presentation of these projects," notes Steve Roens, associate dean of undergraduate studies and director of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).
A 30-minute excerpt from "Half Moon Rising, a musical and theatrical presentation incorporating butoh, a Japanese art form that combines dance, theatre and improvisational influences, will be performed by nine students, from 10:30-11:15 a.m., in the Union Ballroom, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. The performance-a "show and tell as part of the research symposium," according to theatre faculty member and director Jerry Gardner-will feature the student cast of the production, which was produced at the U's Studio 115, March 3 through 5.
Twenty-three year old Adam Bowen, a junior majoring in finance has been working on his research project since last May. As he also interns in U President Michael K. Young"s office and works with the University Venture Fund, a private, venture capital firm run by students, his project, titled "Musical Protest and the Downfall of Apartheid South Africa," helped him "diversify" himself.
Bowen looked at South African music and whether it had a role in helping to end apartheid. While he met several challenges with the topic, Bowen concluded that, because the South African government controlled the radio, the music that had the most impact was the traditional music being sung in the streets, at protest rallies and at funerals.
"Music brought the people together and united everyone," Bowen says. "Music was not the major component in bringing down apartheid, but it united the people and kept them going. It kept their spirits up, kept them fighting. There were lots of other factors that brought down apartheid. But music was an important player or subcategory." Bowen has incorporated music into his presentation, which he will give at 1:35 p.m., in Parlor C or the Union Building. Next week he will represent the University when he presents his research at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research, to be held in North Carolina.
The UROP at the University provides undergraduate students and faculty members the opportunity to work together on research or creative projects.
UROP provides assistantships of up to $1,200 per semester to a student who assists with a faculty member's research or creative project or who carries out a project of his or her own under the supervision of a faculty member.
Students may apply for a UROP assistantship for any semester, summer included, and are eligible to apply for a one-semester renewal of their assistantship. Renewals may be funded up to $600. For more information on UROP, visit http://www.ugs.utah.edu/urop/ or call 801-581-3811.

Following Neanderthals' footsteps to learn how they lived
This undated image obtained courtesy of Dominique Cliquet and released on September 9, 2019, shows the excavation site of a footprint layer in Le Rozel, France. Picture: Dominique CLIQUET / AFP
The band numbered 10 to 13 individuals, mostly children and adolescents, along with a few very tall, likely male adults who were up to 190 centimeters in height.
Like modern humans and primates, Neanderthals — our closest evolutionary cousins — are thought to have lived in groups, but their size and composition have been difficult to infer from archeological and fossil remains.
Now though, scientists have reported the discovery of 257 footprints along the Normandy shore in France that were immaculately preserved over 80,000 years, offering major new clues into the social structures of its prehistoric inhabitants.
Their work, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, suggests the band numbered 10 to 13 individuals, mostly children and adolescents, along with a few very tall, likely male adults who were up to 190 centimeters (six feet two inches) in height.
Jeremy Duveau, a doctoral student at France's National Museum of Natural History and one of the study's co-authors, told AFP the footprints were left in muddy soil, then quickly preserved by wind-driven sand when the area was part of a dune system, creating a snapshot in time.
The Rozel site was discovered by amateur archeologist Yves Roupin in the 1960s, but it was not until 2012, when it was faced with the twin dangers of wind and tidal erosion, that annual excavations began with government support.
Tens of meters of sand were extracted with mechanical shovels to reach the layers that were of interest.
The team then switched to brushes to carry out the last phase of the delicate excavation work that led to the identification of 257 footprints between 2012 and 2017, and hundreds more since.
The footprints were found among what the team called "abundant archeological material" indicating butchery operations and stone tool production, and date back to a time when only Neanderthals, not anatomically modern humans, lived in western Europe.
Rapidly-preserved footprints offer an advantage over archeological or fossilized bone remains in estimating group sizes because these can accumulate over time and do not necessarily reflect a single occupation, unless a catastrophic event led to a whole group being killed at once.
Yet this strength is also footprints' main weakness: "They record a kind of snapshot into the lives of individuals over a very short period," said Duveau.
"That gives us some insight into the composition of the group, but it is possible that it represents only those members of the group who happened to be outside at the time."
The question thus becomes: were there so few adult footprints because Neanderthals died young? Or were the adults off somewhere else?
Each of the footprints was photographed and modeled in three dimensions. Casts were taken of a few of them using an elastomer, which is less rigid than plaster.
Thanks to an advanced new chemical technique available to the team since 2017, hundreds of the prints were lifted from the site to be preserved elsewhere.
Those which weren't extracted were "totally destroyed" by the wind, said Duveau.
"The conservation of footprints requires a sort of miracle: we have to get very, very lucky," he concluded.
Before Rozel, only nine confirmed Neanderthal footprints have been found in Greece, Romania, Gibraltar and France.
Some of Rozel's casts have already been exhibited, including at the Musee de l'Homme in Paris, and researchers want to find ways to broaden the audience through future exhibits.

Juan Mata is one of the nicest guys in football – but Manchester United have a big decision to make.
Mata's contract is up in June and it's unclear whether the Spaniard will get a new deal.
He has started only two Premier League games under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He was an unused substitute against Arsenal in the FA Cup.
Mata has to prove he can fit with United's quick counter attacking football implemented by Solskjaer.
He has shown this season he still has a lot to offer, with impressive free-kicks against Newcastle and Juventus.
Normally it would make little sense for United to give Mata away for free, especially with Goal claiming PSG and Barcelona are interested.
The sticking point is Mata's wages, set against his age and playing time.
Mata earns £140,000 per week (via Independent) – almost twice as much as Victor Lindelof and nearly three times as much as Jesse Lingard.
Mata has only started nine league games out of 23 and has not completed 90 minutes since December 8.
His decreased playing time under Solskjaer indicates his on pitch action is not likely to suddenly turn around.
Mata is a big talent who United should want to keep; just not on his current wages.
At 30-years-old, he should no longer be one of United's top earners.
If he wants to stay at Old Trafford then he must be prepared to accept a pay cut to do so.
Should he decide against it and try to earn more and play more regularly elsewhere, it would be hard to begrudge him either.
Player and club must each do what is right for them, and if interests do not align, it's time to part ways.
When was the last time Juan Mata completed two consecutive league games?

Down East, they're "uniquely hard to discourage"
, about a hermaphrodite born in Labrador in the late 1960s.
The books themselves have little in common in terms of plot or style, aside from the fact that they're all products of Atlantic Canada's thriving writing community, which is quietly stealing the spotlight from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
Robbie MacGregor, a 31-year-old Halifax native, runs Invisible Publishing. The five-year-old press has already established itself as a nationwide player, publishing a mix of graphic novels, music biographies, and edgy literary fiction from the likes of Dani Couture and Stacey May Fowles. Though the company has offices in both Halifax and Toronto, MacGregor says that he prefers the relative intimacy of Halifax.
It might be small but there's a lot going on. This year's Frye Festival, Atlantic Canada's largest literary fest, which is held in Moncton, New Brunswick, featured superstar authors like Margaret Atwood alongside Atlantic Canadian luminaries such Skibsrud and Shandi Mitchell, while Halifax's Word on the Street continues to grow, and at an event sponsored by the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia in downtown Halifax earlier this year on how to get published, the room was so packed that many had to spend the evening standing.
Still, MacGregor admits that there have also been disadvantages: Halifax no longer hosts an International Festival of Authors, backstage problems annually threaten the existence of Word on the Street, and authors still struggle to support themselves. Lee Thompson, director of the New Brunswick Writer's Federation, concedes that when it comes to emerging writers in his province, "most still have day jobs or are supported by their partners." Still, MacGregor believes that it is their determination that allows them to have impact: "The really special thing about authors in the Atlantic provinces is that they seem to be uniquely hard to discourage. I also think it's true of those in publishing here." He credits the staff of the Writer's Federation of Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Book Awards, and Atlantic Publisher's Association for allowing Atlantic Canada to have a notable and growing literary industry. He also credits the authors for developing a genuine sense of community and camaraderie, for helping to develop and promote each other's work.
. In addition to his fiction he runs a blog called Salty Ink whose mission is to promote Atlantic Canadian writing. He describes the site as: "a meaningful way to be in books, because as a writer, I know what difference a little spotlight can make, and I've been very much influenced by Atlantic Canadian fiction, so I wanted to promote it.
Too Much on the Inside.
From: Halifax, currently lives in St John's, Newfoundland.
. She is currently working on her first collection of short stories. She explains that "Thematically, a lot of the collection revolves around the notion of firsts. Everything from a first kiss to the first experience with death".
Her debut poetry collection will be published by Newfoundland's Breakwater Books in 2012. The collection follows the life of a woman from birth to death and everything in between. Broken into three sections, the poems and themes become more complex as the subject moves through life.
From Summerside, Prince Edward Island, currently lives in Halifax.
, will be published later this year.
From Stratford, Prince Edward Island.
, full of gritty and darkly funny prose, will be published by Tightrope Books in 2012.

Physics was the prize space which Alfred Nobel talked about first in his will. They were the first scientists who laid down the foundations of contemporary physics by introducing the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics respectively. The pro model lets them create limitless games utilizing limitless objects and ranges. Professional sport creators can check out this app to create games for Android and iOS gadgets. You may play them on Armor Video games and NewGrounds to know the unbelievable capabilities of Stencyl's toolset. With so many spin-off versions of the original recreation now available I strongly recommend that Offended Birds followers have a look at the official web site which reveals all the Indignant Birds games with their obtainable platforms included. Whereas physics goals to discover universal laws, its theories lie in specific domains of applicability. I've never found a baby who did not love physics when it was taught in a hands-on approach.
The gameplay of Birds 'n' Blocks is not that much like Angry Birds but if you benefit from the puzzle and physics features of Angry Birds you'll nonetheless enjoy what this cellular sport is providing with a unique combination of sport mechanics.
Physics degrees train college students learn how to use computers, make graphs, understand developments, patterns and causal factors, resolve advanced issues, and write essays in clear, concise language that avoids the purple prose that is so often applauded in English levels.
Hi Thomas nice hub in the sense it speaks about some sensible dificulties, however im not convinved along with your leaving of a very notable stream of physics and that too after the completion of it highest degree examine. Molecular physics focuses on multi-atomic buildings and their inside and exterior interactions with matter and lightweight. I have a background in physics so loved some correct science here for a change!!
Encarta Encyclopedia defines biophysics as Biophysics, interdisciplinary examine of biological phenomena and issues, using the ideas and strategies of physics."

Hate throwing out moldy berries?
Every time I head to the grocery store I seem to end up with at least on package of berries. Whether they're for a recipe I'm planning to make, some smoothies, or just as a snack, I love keeping my fridge full of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries at all times.
Berries can also be a big pain, though. I find that unless they're all eaten within a few days they go bad and I'm forced to throw them out. It's particularly sad when I know I spent nearly $5 on an 8oz carton of raspberries, and they're all going to waste!
After doing a bit of research, I've come up with 3 tips that can help all you berry fans out there save some serious money and make sure that you never have to toss out moldy berries again!
I'll admit, when I first came across this "vinegar bath" tip for extending the life of your berries, I was skeptical. But now that I've tried it and have seen raspberries last in my fridge without any mold for nearly two weeks… I'm sold.
Simply mix 1 cup white vinegar with 3 cups water in a large bowl. Place the berries inside the mixture and let soak for at least 2 minutes. Afterwards, rinse off the vinegar and pat dry. The pH of the vinegar is what kills off any mold spores and bacteria – greatly extending the life of your berries.
Place the amount of berries you expect to be able to eat in the fridge and then store the rest in an airtight freezer-bag. Berries stay good in the freezer for around a year! I love to add a cup of frozen blueberries to my warm oatmeal for breakfast, or I make smoothies or berry pie!

Vegetables are good. Even if you're the type who shudders at the thought of salad or hide a grimace when you're served green beans at a dinner party, there's got to be at least one or two vegetables you absolutely love!
Buy vegetables you like. Maybe the produce you buy isn't as varied as you'd like to it be, but if you are used to and are comfortable cooking onions, for example, you're more likely to use them in recipes you will eat before they go bad.
Make soup. Soup is amazing in that you can basically make up a recipe and it will generally taste good, and since you cook it for a while, veggies that are not-so-great can get thrown in there. Celery starting to go soft and your kids hate it when it's not crisp? Chop it up and throw it in a soup! The soft texture is right at home in a soup!
Use every last bit. After making dinner, you might have a pile of carrot tops and onion ends sitting on your counter. Don't throw them out—they're still useful! Do you have a garden outside? Compost them! Do you make soup a lot? Freeze your veggie ends and pieces until you have enough to boil for a broth, and make homemade broth! There are plenty of things to do with vegetables that don't necessarily involve eating them. How else do you use up everything you buy?
What a great way to start out the week – more coupons!

Aren't these the words every mother longs to say?
I expect nothing less from my kids, and as Big E's interest in his Fisher Price Medical Kit ramped up, so did my hopes.
But as I was working on all the future braggity brag lines I'd throw out to my Mah Jongg group just like unwanted tiles, a few clues arose that led me to believe I do not have a budding physician.
1) For whatever reason, our doctor kit has two shots. Lucky me. As Big E assessed my ailments he decided I needed to have both shots administered, in unison, while singing the brilliantly written LMFAO song, "Shots."
Haven't heard it? Look it up. It is about taking liquor shots, but Mr. Yoy thought it would be HI-LARIOUS to teach it to Big E.
2) My back is whack. Really it is. This is the second time this month I've become incapable of bending over and picking things up. I've resorted to dropping Little E into his crib like an A-bomb. He is not a fan.
Anyway, I was complaining to Big E about my bag and he proudly exclaimed he would examine me. He took the toy thermometer and placed it up to my lower back.
I took a second look. Yep, he was right, there was a big smiley face. I must be imagining my symptoms.
3) After a thorough exam, Big E finally got around to looking in my ears.
EAR WAX! SO MUCH EAR WAX!
I grabbed his little tool away from him and scowled at him. So much for his bedside manner.
Tonight, I'm bathing in a little bit of disappointment. Mr. Yoy has already said there was no way he'd let his kids become attorneys, so what does the future hold for Big E?
Maybe a fast paced life of tax returns?

I spent most of my 15-year tenure as a classroom teacher at the primary level. For 5 years, I served the district as an Instructional Technology Specialist. Currently, I hold the Director of Instructional Technology position for Derry Township and teach iPads in Education as Adjunct Instructor for Eduspire & Brandman University.
I hold an Undergraduate Degree from Penn State University, A Master's in Educational Administration from Temple University and earned my Instructional Technology Specialist certification from Penn State University. I also hold certifications as an Elementary Principal and K-12 Business and Computer Technology. I am a certified trainer in the following areas: Everyday Mathematics, Co-Teaching Model, Charlotte Danielson's Domains of Professional Practice, APL Instructional Strategies, Promethean Software, Second Step and FOSS/GEMS Science. I am currently working to become certified in Blended and Online Course Development.
My training sites can be found at TechieTeachrs.blogspot.com. All of my training sites and presentation information can be found there. I have presented at numerous conferences including several years and presentations at PETE&C and one presentation in 2011 at ISTE.
I am extremely passionate about integrating technology into education. I believe that all technology use in education should be founded in good instructional practices. Your instructional goals should always drive how technology is integrated into your classroom.

Thinking back to the hours that I spent with my mother as she cooked, gardened, cleaned, and sewed.
As a child I loved watching my mom iron clothing as she would recall out loud some of her childhood memories. Although these memories were not typically wonderful, it was still amazing to have that connection that I still value today.
I am sure you have already guessed that I grew to enjoy ironing. Years passed and I ironed shirts, pants, dresses, Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps uniforms, iron transfers, material that was turned into very exciting curtains and clothing, and other exciting materials.
Shortly after I married Conan I was gifted a very pretty iron, I say pretty because it sported my favorite color. This particular iron had a very useful automatic cord winding button, a lovely spray and steam option, and lasted me for years.
For years I have hated ironing! The satisfaction of crisp clothing used to be enough to motivate me to complete an entire basket of laundry, however I found each piece taking longer, and ironing became a dread. I soon found myself collecting clothing straight from the dryer to place on hangers in order to completely avoid the chore all together.
Obviously this was a problem in many areas. First, why am I not happy doing one of my favorite chores? Secondly, it makes matters worse because now I am not happy with how my family looks in their clothing, and I feel that I am not doing my best to take care of them.
Over the past several years that Conan and I have been married we have had countless discussions about tools and the vast difference between quality tools and the long term cost of inferior tools.
The tool is something used to make our lives easier. When a tool does not preform the way we expect it tends to have the opposite effect; our particular job becomes more difficult and in some cases it can cause our daily lives to become more difficult.
Getting back to the iron. Recently I was talking to my mother about her desire to replace her current iron with the good old reliable version she had in my childhood memories. She located this particular iron, which I have to say is very simple compared to its competitors, and was looking to find it with a spraying option.
A few days later I decided that I needed to get over my ironing slump. I set up my dusty ironing board, pulled out the iron I had put away in a shelf, heated it up and was off to the races. I still was not enjoying ironing but I determined my sentiment to be a result of my being out of practice. Finishing one shirt was painful, however things got better as I continued, into the second of my husbands shirts my iron started to loose pieces of plastic.
On the third shirt not only did I loose more plastic on nearly every pass but a couple of cute little screws fell with the shrapnel as well. At this point I deemed my iron a safety hazard, shut down the operation, and threw it out!
Shopping for a new iron was an evil necessity. As much as I would have rather avoided ironing I knew I needed to conquer my more recent ironing affliction. Ironically I found the iron my mother and I had be discussing, it was priced right in the middle of the iron price range, had very little plastic to speak of, no easy cord-winding super button, and when I gazed upon it my heart was happy. Who knew the right "tool" could have sentimental value? We bought it!
The day following the purchase of my new iron I wasted little time getting started. The iron heated quickly, was extremely hot, steamed like a dream, and I flew through the two baskets of ironing in less time then it took me to do 4 shirts with the old "fancier" iron. Aside from it having superior and sentimental qualities, I found myself enjoying ironing again, I saw the fruit of my labor in the crisp fabrics, I enjoy the smell of the laundry that the steam raised for my enjoyment, and my heart smiled as my minds eye drew pictures from the abyss of my mother and I so many years ago.
