This Order enters into force on 6 November 2011.
This Order aims to monitoring algal sites, including production areas and breeding sites, where harvesting of mussels takes place. It applies to the use of clean sea water used for cleaning and conditioning of mussels. Food Administration authorities may establish rules for the suspension of such production, should there be alert of poison in the specified algal areas which may compromise the quality of mussel harvesting. Research and analysis is therefore implemented. By-catch of wild mussels may only be released for sale if the primary producer submits and provides analysis for the presence of toxins to the Food Administration, that the results meet health standards of food hygiene regulations, and that the species is suitable for human consumption. In the latter case, microbiological analysis results must meet health standards regulations which shall be subject to classification criteria and selection by the Food Administration. For each batch of harvested mussels, the primary producer shall register a hygiene regulation form to ensure traceability. All expenses in connection with procurement, submission and testing of samples and reporting of analytical results required under this Order, including any costs of risk associated with it, shall not be covered by the Food Administration.

It's About Damn Time
"A hero's tale of what's possible when we unlock our potential, continue the search for knowledge, and draw on our lived experiences to guide us through the darkest moments."—Stacey Abrams
From a Black, gay woman who broke into the boys' club of Silicon Valley comes an empowering guide to finding your voice, working your way into any room you want to be in, and achieving your own dreams.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FORTUNE
In 2015, Arlan Hamilton was on food stamps and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport, with nothing but an old laptop and a dream of breaking into the venture capital business. She couldn't understand why people starting companies all looked the same (White and male), and she wanted the chance to invest in the ideas and people who didn't conform to this image of how a founder is supposed to look. Hamilton had no contacts or network in Silicon Valley, no background in finance—not even a college degree. What she did have was fierce determination and the will to succeed.
As much as we wish it weren't so, we still live in a world where being underrepresented often means being underestimated. But as someone who makes her living investing in high-potential founders who also happen to be female, LGBTQ, or people of color, Hamilton understands that being undervalued simply means that a big upside exists. Because even if you have to work twice as hard to get to the starting line, she says, once you are on a level playing field, you will sprint ahead.
Despite what society would have you believe, Hamilton argues, a privileged background, an influential network, and a fancy college degree are not prerequisites for success. Here she shares the hard-won wisdom she's picked up on her remarkable journey from food-stamp recipient to venture capitalist, with lessons like "The Best Music Comes from the Worst Breakups," "Let Someone Shorter Stand in Front of You," "The Dangers of Hustle Porn," and "Don't Let Anyone Drink Your Diet Coke." Along the way, she inspires us all to defy other people's expectations and to become the role models we've been looking for.
Praise for It's About Damn Time
"Reading Arlan Hamilton's It's About Damn Time is like having a conversation with that frank, bawdy friend who somehow always manages to make you laugh, get a little emo, and, ultimately, think about the world in a different way. . . . The book is warm, witty, and unflinching in its critique of the fake meritocracy that permeates Silicon Valley."—Shondaland

Эдуард Давыдович Коллинс, Эдуард Альберт Коллинс, также Давидович или Коллинз (;  — ) — математик Российской империи XIX века, ординарный академик Петербургской Академии Наук. Директор Петришуле. В истории математики важен тем, что привлёк в Академию наук М. В. Остроградского и В. Я. Буняковского. Современникам был известен, в первую очередь, как преподаватель математики цесаревича Александра Николаевича, будущего Александра II.

Биография
Отец Эдуарда, Иоанн Давид Коллинс, шотландец, эмигрировал в Пруссию. Оттуда он был приглашен в Санкт-Петербург на место пастора при реформатской церкви, впоследствии стал директором первой школы Санкт-Петербурга, Училища св. Петра. Мать, урожденная Анна Шарлотта Вильгельмина Эйлер (1773—1871), была дочерью конференц-секретаря Петербургской Академии Наук И. А. Эйлера и внучкой математика Леонарда Эйлера. В 1789 году, выйдя в 15 лет замуж за молодого академика Якова Бернулли-младшего, уже через два месяца она стала его вдовой.

В тринадцать лет Коллинс поступил в Училище св. Петра. Он рано обнаружил любовь к математике и в 16 лет изучал алгебру Эйлера с примечаниями Лагранжа. Такой интерес и способности к математике обратили на него особенное внимание его дяди, академика Н. И. Фусса, и он начал с ним занятия по высшей математике. Коллинс делал очень быстрые успехи. В 1814 году он был избран адъюнктом Академии, в 1820 году — экстраординарным академиком и в 1826 году — ординарным.

С 1824 года был преподавателем в Школе святого Петра, а с 1833 года, после смерти отца, — её директором; будучи придворным преподавателем математики в течение 10 лет, преподавал математику великому князю цесаревичу Александру Николаевичу.

Его работы большей частью относятся к геометрии (где он занимался изучением отдельных кривых) и теории чисел, а также анализу (комбинаторный анализ и его применение к математическому анализу). Он пытался изучить свойства математических операций и символов с весьма общей точки зрения. Главной его заслугой перед математикой было привлечение в Академию наук М. В. Остроградского и В. Я. Буняковского.

В изданиях Академии Наук за 1829—1838 годы напечатано несколько его мемуаров.
Коллинс не прошел высшего учебного заведения, но познания его были чрезвычайно обширны и он владел вполне научным методом; он был также большим любителем музыки и отличным её знатоком.

Семья
Сын Коллинса, Эдуард Эдуардович, был инспектором Петришуле, а в 1913—1915 годах здание Петришуле перестраивалось (последний раз) по проекту архитектора Владимира Эдуардовича Коллинса, сына инспектора, который служил в управлении домов Немецкой церкви.

Известен также Александр Эдуардович Коллинс (; 1868—1945), владелец нескольких типографий в Санкт-Петербурге-Петрограде.

1- Scholars are consensus that it is a mandatory part of Haj and Ummrah. But they differed around whether or not it is a ritual. The predominant opinion that it is wajeb (a must).
3- We conclude from this hadeeth that he invoked upon Allah to bestow mercy on those who shaved three times, while he did the same only once for those who cut part of the hair.
4- In this regard, Imam Naway may Allah Have mercy on him, explained the wisdom behind the Messenger's salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam dua 3 times for those who shaved and 1 time for those who cut hair as the former fully submitted to the command of the legislator, they expressed a higher level of commitment to Allah as they fully removed their for the Sake of Allah. As such, it is not permissible to fully shave head hair as a form of worship except during Haj or Ummrah.
5- If we look into the Sunnah in regards to the hair length, we find that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam had his hair long to touch the end part of his ear. It was never proven after the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam that he fully shave his hair except during a Haj or Ummrah. Ibn Abbas may Allah be pleased with both of them said: One who shaves his hair while in his home town (meaning in Mecca not during Haj or Ummrah) is a Shaytan.
6- Imam Ahmed received a question regarding the ruling of growing long hair for men, he said it is correct and if we were capable of handling it we would have followed this manner.
7- According to Sunnah of the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam, it is recommended to let the barber start with the right side of the head then the left.
8- A number of scholars including Naway may Allah Have mercy on him recommended that the client (one who needs to shave after Haj or Ummrah) should not agree in advance with the barber for a certain fee. He explained it is not recommended in relation to rituals.
9- However, if the credibility of the barber was questioned, one is allowed to make an advance agreement.
10- Bukhari may Allah Have mercy on him reported in his Saheeh after the act of predecessors that the shaved hair is pure and may be used to stuff pillows and other purposes.
11- A man performing Haj must apply Sunnah in regard to hair shaving in order to attain a better reward as long as he doesn't have an excuse.
12- He also should not mock the one who only cut part of the hair but rather kindly explain the Sunnah.
15- It is accepted for one who chooses the cutting (could be better explained as number 1 shaving) option to only take parts of the hair from the right, left sides and front and back. Better yet not follow this in another Ummrah or Haj.
16- One who puts on his regular clothes and forgets about the shaving step, must take them off, put back Ehram garment, shave and no ransom is required.
17- He is also allowed to shave in any other city outside Mecca. But still must not take off Ehram garment before shaving.
18- Women must only cut a fingertip piece of hair.
19- The same amount of hair is cut from each braid if the woman has her hair made into this style.
20- In case the woman has short hair, she collects some of it and then cuts a fingertip amount.
21- A man who has long hair made into braids applies the rule of women in cutting a fingertip amount.

Q: If I restart the Rest server, H2 database reset I used file db as below:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:./data/meet

And I can find file "meet.mv.db" in my working directory.
If I add tuples to the file and restart the server, the size of the file increases.
However, I cannot get what is inside the file after restarting.
That means there is no persistency at all.
Can anyone help me to find how to obtain persistency?
In case you need my source code:
https://github.com/jihunim/meet_n_eat_server

A: I ran into a similar problem and I discovered it was because I had this property set in the persistence.xml file:
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />

Removing this line fixed the issue and data was still there after server restart.

A: In application.properties:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
(from https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/1.4.3.RELEASE/reference/html/jpa.repositories.html)

A: Use spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update in application.properties.

CLAMDORSEMENT 2020: The Elections
By Josh Turiel October 26, 2020 October 26, 2020 Uncategorized
Greetings Clam-Desperados:
It's another episode of what-the-fuck-is-this-political-hell-hole-we-are-living-in and how can we get through this season so we can move on to a nice triumph-of-the-human-spirit -produced-for-Netflix-special where we don't have to worry about the POTENTIAL FOR IMMINENT COLLAPSE OF DEMOCRACY every waking fucking moment.
Enquiring minds are tired of everything political and wondering who we here at the Clam are endorsing and if we could do a very short Clamsplainer ™ on all things ballot related. YES. Yes we can. The whole team worked on this one, so give them their props.
THE VERY SHORT BALLOT QUESTION TL;DR:
Are there Ballot Questions? YES
Will you have to turn over your ballot to see them all? YES
Should you vote on them? YES
What should you vote? YES
What about the last two non-binding questions that I didn't even know existed? YES on those also.
Should I really vote "Yes" on all the ballot questions? YES
Not how we make decisions, but still YES. Look for the How and WHY of ballot decision making in a future post.
THE "WHO SHOULD I VOTE FOR" TL;DR:
We think, correction, we know, if you want a democracy so you can actually vote in the future, you should roll up any doubt, toss it into the dumpster fire that has been 2020 and cast your votes for:
Joe Biden & Kamala Harris.
Ed Markey.
Seth Moulton.
"Wait, what? Shouldn't I stand up for my beliefs? Aren't you guys left leaning liberal progressives?" "Shouldn't we be writing in…"
Dude, you asked for the short version. Read on if you still need guidance on which candidates to write-in.
(LONG VERSION FOLLOWS)
As you readers of the Clam know well, we're not exactly "conservative" here. Unless we are talking about the environment and in that case we are decidedly conservationist ;), but even then we like wind turbines which by the way kill exponentially fewer birds than cats or glass fronted buildings or climate change and the sound of them (the turbines not the cats) does not cause cancer. But we digress. Truly we don't despise old-school Republicans that we used to have a lot of in New England, we just don't vote for them. Especially not nowadays, while there's a literal Orange Turd of Spite in the White (power) House.
Oddly, these are also symptoms from having Trump as a president.
Once again in Massachusetts, all the state-level offices are uncontested. Tarr is going to remain State Senator, Ferrante will remain State Representative, Eileen Duff will remain on the Governor's Council. AND, wait for it, Pamela Casey O'Brien will remain the Register of Probate which most of you didn't even know was an elected position until you saw it on the ballot because she's been in this position since 1996. Seriously.
But we know you aren't here because of who isn't in a fight.
You're looking for the action, that sweet, sweet Clamalysis of how to vote where it matters.
Well, climb out of that bat-filled cave and join us as we attempt to avert an actual apocalypse.
Let's work our way up shall we?
The 6th District House seat is currently held by Seth Moulton – as some of you may have noticed he was not successful in his presidential campaign and he once again decided that being a Congressman was a fine way to serve the people. Despite a lot of Democratic activists being royally pissed at him for his dalliance with the Oval Office, Moulton has a good crew running the district offices. Lucky for him this pesky pandemic kept his challengers from getting traction so Representative (still) Moulton won the nomination and will again be the Democratic nominee. His GOP opponent is John Paul Moran (using all three names is important to him). Moran has distinguished himself by driving a massive red, white, and blue pickup truck and having his allies put signs in public spaces illegally. We're going to go out on a limb here and say that even though we were pretty annoyed by the Moulton for President pretension, we'd rather have him around than another Trump loving guy with a thing for threes.
The Clam endorses Seth Moulton for another term in Congress, and we hope he got the message that we want him to focus on the task at hand.
Red, white and blue truck, tree limb, get it?
In the Senate, Ed Markey became the cool uncle of the progressive youth (and a big majority of Team Clam was on his side in the primary). He beat Joe Kennedy by a margin that surprised us all. On the Republican side, Kevin O'Connor beat Perennial (two failures, two write-in campaigns, and too many lawsuits) Candidate Shiva Ayyadurai. We hope O'Connor will be rewarded for his efforts by losing to Markey.
Not this Mahky
We here at the Clam happily endorse Ed Markey for another term in the Senate.
For President, who whoo shocker: We're all in for Joe Biden.
Truth be told, most of the Clam Editorial Board was for Bernie, but that's not how the primaries went and Biden won. Handily.
Joe Biden isn't the most exciting guy on the planet. He's not going to provide 24/7 entertainment. In fact he's kinda boring. He believes in diplomacy. He mentors kids with stutters. He prefers conversations to shouting matches. If you want someone in a polo shirt who'll burn everything to the ground with tiki torches he's not your guy.
It turns out Biden is profoundly decent, thoughtful, and empathetic. He cares about people other than himself. Isn't that enough? But wait there's more!
He listens to experts and scientists, takes advice, and is willing to change his mind if given facts that justify it. As President, he'll be a breath of fresh air by not making news cause he's rage-tweeting. Will he listen to the progressive wing of the party? Absolutely. Will he be giving us everything we want? Nope. But will we make progress toward the shit we care about as a society under a Biden presidency? Praise The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster we will. Biden will help America once again be a country that the rest of the world looks at to lead, not the meme that gets laughed at in international conferences.
Make America America Again. Vote for Joe Biden. We are.
This will happen when Kanye and Phil get together on their party crossover album.
Look, we know there are a few of you still considering casting your vote for a third party candidate. Fuck your principles. We live in a two-party system that's at risk of becoming a one not-very-fun-party-at-all system if we don't overwhelmingly vote his Orangeassholeness out of office. We get it, you want to vote for Phil Collins at the top of the Prohibition ticket, or Kanye and his Birthday Party. But listen. Even Bernie Sanders is voting for Joe Biden.
As one of our heroes, Sir Patrick Stewart said,
"It is what you do from now on that will either move our civilization forward a few tiny steps, or else… begin to march us steadily backward."
YES; VOTE.
YES, VOTE YES. On all of them!
YES, It matters
Clam Out.
Your The Clam Voting Guide – 2019 Gloucester City Elections
By Josh Turiel October 30, 2019 October 30, 2019 Clamsplainer, Guest Blogger, Uncategorized
Good day, my dudes (gender neutral).
The Clam is back with a vengeance – (ok, we're back from a sadbender that lasted all summer while we figured out how to move this site forward for you all), and we've still been following things even though we weren't writing posts. And guess what? Even without our dear leader Jim Dowd who is now mostly space dust and the property of science at large, it turns out the rest of us still have several heavy sacks full of opinions to unload on you all.
And you know, there's an election coming up. In fact, there's a shitload of them. In going with the ecumenical multi-city nature of Clam Nation, we've decided to expand our horizons for local politics over the bridge, and make Clamdorsements in a few different cities this time but starting with our beloved Gloucester. So if you're in Beverly or Salem, stay tuned.
If you're new to our writing or forgot (I wouldn't blame you), our endorsements aren't decided by one person – they're all based on group discussion and shared writing, so there's a lot more to these than the bylines. But I got the job of collecting it for a post. I wish I could take credit for all the jokes, though. We have people who are way too inside baseball in each town so we're mostly working around them and just letting it rip. So with that said, here we go back on the track!
Gloucester's got a lot of uncontested wards this year and the mayor is running unopposed, so that takes a lot of off our plate. Honestly, it's a pretty quiet year, except for School Committee and At-Large, where there's a lot of variation that needs to be considered. And this year, we've decided that 5 at-large candidates are worthy of our vote for different reasons, so picking just 4 will be difficult.
On the City Council side of things, we had some good change two years ago. We've got some great things going for us these days – the beautiful new West Parish school, the absolutely beautiful Biotech lab on the waterfront- but we can do so much more to make this a better city for everyone. Gloucester itself is changing, but it's also the greater world beyond the bridge that's changing and Gloucester's boats are just rising with the tide. This was meant to be figurative but I guess it's also literal. We're going to need a new water treatment plant, at least 2 new schools, and a plan to deal with 2030. This city struggles today because of a lack of action that kicked the can down the road in the past, and we need councilors who understand how to best manage that without shying away from a hard discussion and a hard decision.
For your Councilors at Large:
Jen Holmgren
Obviously, she's going to be our top choice. She's a good friend of ours, but don't hold that against her. She's better than all of us, no lie. Jen has a seemingly endless well of empathy and compassion for everyone in this town, which isn't surprising, since she's a nurse. She works tirelessly for issues like affordable and working class housing, in a city where we are so far behind in providing that for our community and a vast swath of our population is indifferent to it. Jen is level-headed and truly researches a topic before rendering a reasonable decision. She's not afraid to say "I need to look into that further and get back to you." She's incredibly bright and dedicated, and she's had a great first term. She unfortunately has been targeted by a few of the really vocal anti-Espressos folks since she voted yes on that project (a shitstorm we were too busy working, having lives, and baby-raising to really address correctly but holy crap that was ridiculous), and that's pretty unfair considering she's working for a lot of the interests the no-vote people hold dear.
Chris DiMercurio-Sicuranza
Chris is new to electoral politics, but an old hand. He was really active in Salem when he lived there, and when he fell in love with his husband Frank and moved to Gloucester it was a total win for us. His time working in the Mayor's office really helped him. He's smart, a great communicator, and he's passionate, progressive and pragmatic as can be. You'll love him once you elect him.
And boy does he have a lot of plans. He sent us a huge list of things he's planning on addressing: optimization around city services like app-based parking for Main Street and at beaches; Blue economy gains through Community Dev and Econ. Dev to increase support for marine based education (GMGI), research and potential new industries (like Sea Machines, autonomous sea vessels); more cross-collaboration of special events and studying traffic, merchant and tourism data with one centralized source that can help us see patterns by working together and sharing resources – also gaining revenue for all the above. Coastal resiliency, affordable housing, Gloucester 400th and DMO/Discover Gloucester are also critical, too. Getting younger people involved especially on boards on commissions but setting up better web/social media pages across all depts. to make public more aware and easier to follow.
As for schools, he also explained: definitely more in favor of the MSBA supported new school as we need the resources for social workers, special education, theater, arts, etc. all of which will be jeopardized if we put funding toward repairing older and antiquated schools. I want a true facilities manager who can be responsible with realistic budgets for the short term and long term though in any scenario as falling tiles and moldy conditions are not only unsafe, they are disgraceful conditions for our students, teachers, administrators, parents and makes top talent within schools want to leave or not take jobs here.
John's best known for being the Chief of Police, and he's worked his whole life for the city, starting on the waterfront as a kid. Unlike some of the police issues we've seen across the country he set the tone for a compassionate police force and was at the forefront of community policing before that was even a thing. He has been a strong supporter of Action, Inc for years, and he also actively participated in Gloucester s high-risk task force, a coalition of city officials and nonprofit staff members, about 50 people, that meet monthly to discuss strategies on how best to serve our most vulnerable people, including repeat offenders. He is compassionate and understanding toward people who may not immediately elicit empathy from others. And that goes a long way. And as a department head, he understands how the city budget works. In all honestly, this is incredibly important for our elected officials especially over the next few years when some big decisions need to be made. He's an all-around family man, and we've never had a negative interaction with the guy. We hope he gets in, as he checks a lot of boxes for a lot of people and seems like he'll do a great job of listening.
Melissa Cox
Melissa is involved in so much of this city, and when you have a question or emergency, she's on top of it no matter what. She excels at being totally accessible. She saved KT's wedding 2 years ago after she spaced on PICKING UP HER ENTIRE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE from the clerk's office. She panicked and messaged Melissa, who immediately contacted somebody on a Saturday to meet her to literally unlock City Hall and help her out. That's the kind of thing Melissa does without blinking. She's always had Leslie Knope vibes. However, we don't always 100% line up with our goals for Gloucester's future. Her priorities aren't necessarily bad – she's warning us we need to cover a new sewer plant first, and seemingly a school second – so we're worried that a new school isn't something she's going to fight for, but she's also a rational human being who doesn't immediately respond with passion or emotion. She'll take a look at an issue from all sides and make an informed decision.
EDIT: She did let us know she's behind the consolidation and exclusion, just wasn't 100% happy with the whole process and final choice, which is fair!
A dramatization of when someone dumps a couch on Kondelin Road
Joe Ciolino (alternate)
In the past we haven't really pushed voting for Joe. He's voted in ways we liked and disliked, but he hadn't really moved us in one direction or the other. He's always pushed downtown business because that's what he's personally involved in, which is great for downtown Main St, but can leave retail businesses outside of the Block Party area feeling a little overlooked. Also, he recently mentioned at the GOP meet and greet that he still hands out plastic bags at his store which is against the laws the city council itself created. So he's either disrespectful or blowing smoke, neither of which are a good look. He's also stated the reason we have tourists is because we still have a fishing industry, and we need to be protecting that. It's a common sense idea that is almost low hanging fruit to pander to, because literally no one seeking office is going to say "I don't care about the fishing industry" if they enjoy having unbroken bones. People come here for beaches, but they also come here for the Wicked Tuna boats and because George Clooney made a movie about the Crow's Nest and they wanna see that stuff in person. But you know, you keep having your dumb bags blow into the harbor and there aren't gonna be a ton of fish left here.
It's 2019 and people still come here assuming this is factually correct. Taking their money is in all of our best interests.
However, we really like that one of his priorities is getting a new school built because we are very pro GET THIS DONE NOW WHILE WE HAVE FUNDING FROM THE STATE. Recently he said he thinks a 71 year old school built before cities were mandated to take all students and you couldn't send them to institutions anymore will need replacing, which is so true but unfortunately not believed by everyone which is exhausting but that's Gloucester for you. So maybe if you are dead set against voting for one of the above because they looked at your puppy wrong you can go this way instead.
That's it. That's what we have for now. There are other candidates that didn't make the cut for a myriad of reasons, and we don't have a strong opinion on the only contested ward to make an impassioned plea (Though we do like Joe Giacalone).
We will throw another post up shortly about the school committee race, for which we will have several other opinions.
Where the hell do we go from here?
By Josh Turiel June 8, 2019 June 8, 2019 Uncategorized
Hey there, it's Josh – second-funniest male regular contributor to the Clam (and third overall, also behind KT). Then again, there've been only three regular posters so that should say something.
Losing Jim sucks. It sucks hard. He was the North Star that we guided the site through, and even what he didn't write himself the rest of us wrote to try and make him proud. We've all in Clam Nation known this week was coming, but we all hated that reality.
I'll share what is the ideal Dowd story – from the last time I saw him out in public. Here in Salem, Deacon Giles Distillery hosts a night of boozy three-minute PowerPoint presentations as a competition about once a quarter. In mid-February, they hosted the event. Jim decided a couple of days beforehand to enter – with his topic being "the difference between being eaten by a shark and brain cancer".
I Googled "Sharkbite" and went with this because we're a family-friendly blog here and JESUS THE REAL PICS WERE GROSS
To sum up, shark bite victims don't need to deal with idiots sending you "Israeli company cures sharkbite!" emails, and the screams drown out morons on shore asking if you have tried CBD oil as shark repellent. But at the same time, there are very few hopeful clinical trials on sharkbite running currently.
I fixed my car's radiator with CBD, too.
With facts like that, he put together a brilliant and funny presentation that, needless to say, won.
Once he knew his diagnosis last summer, he (and the rest of us) knew that we were on borrowed time, and he continued to work, make jokes about being radioactive, and do what he did best – stir shit up with brilliance and passion. Personally, for me he was the bridge that connected my world of friends in Salem with awesome people down the line on Cape Ann, expanding my universe of amazing, snarky, and sweet people that I remain connected to now. I was on my way home from a business trip to Florida when Jim passed away. That evening, some of his friends gathered to host a spur-of-the-moment memorial party that may still be going on, much like the party in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that has lasted for four generations thus far. I sent hugs from my airliner that was lurching around the sky.
What will become of the Clam and this website? I don't think we can answer that right now. But we will. There are still things we are outraged by, things we want to celebrate, and stupidity to highlight. Regardless of what we do here on these pages, Clam Nation persists – because Clam Nation was founded from Jim Dowd's vision, but it's really all of you.
Okay, we found a stonecutter.

Okay, we did it. Turns out Friend of the Clam Stephen Voltz is not just a renowned scientist, he's also a freelance digital stonecutter. So with our modern tools (did you know weed is legal in Massachusetts now?), a party of intrepid Clamunauts went into the woods of wild Dogtown to update the Babson Boulders for modern times.
We think that his work was well worth it. The maps will be hopefully updated soon, though without Historic Register status and funding it may be a little while. Enjoy the search until then.
Babson Boulders for a new era
By Josh Turiel April 2, 2019 April 2, 2019 because gloucester, Dogtown
We've noticed here at the Clam a great deal of discussion about Dogtown in recent months. We think that Dogtown belongs on the Historic Register, and that will help keep it protected from development while also making it somewhat more accessible as a part of our history.
But we realized that the Babson Boulders, one of the noteworthy features of the site, seem a tad dated for today's world. So we consulted with the Clam braintrust in our super secret Underground Lair, and came up with a few ideas that can be placed as soon as we find a stonecutter who will work cheap and can chisel in Comic Sans. But until then, we'll share them with you.

Depledge Principal named Top Rated Independent Financial Adviser
Our very own Andrew Day has named been named a Top Rated Independent Financial Adviser on VouchedFor.co.uk, an achievement that gained national acclaim in The Times newspaper.
Andrew has been an independent financial adviser for 15 years and received the accolade thanks to local support.
Being a Top Rated adviser means a great deal – there are over 20,000 IFAs in the UK so to be in the top 0.5% is a real achievement. What makes it even more special is that I've been selected as a result of support from my clients. It means a lot that they've gone out of their way to help me to get this commendation and I'd like to thank them all.
Andrew was selected as a result of clients writing in to recommend his services on consumer ratings website VouchedFor.co.uk. The site, which enables people looking for financial advice to find a recommended IFA, works like TripAdvisor. You can search for advisers free of charge based on location and services provided. Advisers are then listed based on client reviews giving those seeking advice confidence the adviser can be trusted.
The financial services industry is still tarnished and unfortunately many people don't distinguish between independent financial advisers and the bigger players so we have all been tarred by the same brush. In my opinion client testimonials are an important vehicle when it comes to restoring trust which makes receiving this commendation even more significant. People who need help with their finances can go to VouchedFor.co.uk to read client reviews before selecting an adviser, it's a great way to ensure peace of mind and rebuild confidence in the industry.
Andrew was featured in the Saturday Times on Saturday 31st May and a Top Rated badge will be featured on his VouchedFor.co.uk profile, making it even easier for people using the site to find a quality adviser in their area.

Guwahati: The slogan, "Ei jui jolise, joliboi" (loosely translating to "the fire has started, will continue burning"), that was widely used by protestors during the 12-hour bandh in the state on Tuesday brought back memories of the Assam Agitation.
For, just like the popular movement of the 1980s, Tuesday's strike called by 46 different organisations of the state saw massive participation by the masses. Shops were shut, public transport system was out of bounds and several instances of violence were reported from various parts of the state.
The mega rally was called in protest against the central government's Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, and a proposed rally by some Bengali Hindu organisations on November 17.
The bandh was called by farmers' rights activist Akhil Gogoi and his organisation Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) and was supported by as many as 45 other organisations cutting across political ideologies. The strike was called mainly against the Bengali Hindu organistaions' call for a rally on November 17 in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.
Several political parties such as the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), Congress and the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), and prominent organisations such as the KMSS, All Assam Koch Rajbongsi Students' Union, Ahom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Satra Parishad and Tai Ahom Students' Organisation, among several others.
Why are they opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016?
The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on July 19, 2016, to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955 to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who fled religious persecution in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan and entered India before December 31, 2014. The Bill also seeks to reduce the requirement of 11 years of continuous stay in the country to six years to obtain citizenship by naturalisation. The bill has been dubbed as against the secular principle of the Indian Constitution.
What happened where during the 12-hour bandh on Tuesday?
As many as 50 people were detained in Bongaigaon including student leaders. Protest turned violent in eastern Assam's Jorhat as more than 100 protestors clashed with the police. Around 17 were arrested from Sonari in eastern Assam's Charaideo district. Seven bandh supporters were arrested from Golaghat district. Protestors blocked the railway track at Sarupathar in Golaghat district.
What's the connection with the NRC?
In the Supreme Court-monitored update process for the National Register of Citizenship (NRC), about 3.29 crore people applied to include their names in the draft list.
On December 31, 2017, the first draft of the NRC was published, in which names of 1.9 crore people were featured. However, the SC fixed the publication date of the 'final draft' on 30 July this years. After the publication of the 'final draft', names of 40,07,707 people were left out.
Since the time of Assam Agitation in the 1980s which culminated with the signing of the historic Assam Accord on August 15, 1985 the people of the state have been demanding deportation of illegal migrants. However, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 will entitle Hindu illegal migrants for Indian citizenship, which is against the principle of the Assam Accord.
Assam is mainly divided into two regions: the Brahmaputra Valley and the Barak Valley. While the Brahmaputra Valley is dominated by the Assamese-speaking people, the Barak Valley mainly has Bengali-speaking population.
During the election campaigns in the Barak Valley, BJP leaders including then Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had said that, if voted to power, the saffron party would provide citizenship to all migrants. Keeping with his election promise, the Modi-government introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in 2016.
In support of the bill, the Citizen Right Protection Forum, Assam (CRPFA), a conglomeration of 26 Bengali organisations, has called for a massive rally on November 17.
Why did Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), the ruling BJP's alliance partner in state, stage a massive protest rally during the bandh?
The AGP was formed following the Assam Agitation in 1985 and since then has come to power thrice. In the 2016 assembly elections, AGP became a part of the BJP-led government. However, since the introduction of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, the AGP, led by three-time CM Prafullla Kumar Mahanta and party president Atul Bora, has been threatening to quit the coalition over the issue.
But since the state BJP unit and the government did not make its position clear on the issue and the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) went ahead with the tabling of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 on October 23, the AGP displayed a massive show of power during the bandh on Tuesday.
Although the AGP has not come out of the coalition yet, the party has announced that it is going it alone in the upcoming panchayat polls.

Waging war on the sublime
A David Moody's life of Ezra Pound is, at last, the ambitious, energetic biography the poet deserves, says Andrew Motion

Ezra Pound: Poet. Vol 1: The Young Genius 1885-1920
by A David Moody
544pp, Oxford, £25
There's a blur near the centre of 20th-century literary biography: lives of the two greatest modernists are missing. Or at least not fully present. Peter Ackroyd and others have done their best to get round the prohibitions of the Eliot estate, but we still lack a properly detailed, intimate account. Problems of a different kind have delayed a full and scholarly biography of Pound, despite the best efforts of Humphrey Carpenter and others. Pound's life is so vast in its energies, so richly international in its reach and so bedevilled by controversies that it has taken more than 30 years - since Pound's death in 1972 - for A David Moody's book to arrive on the scene. The first volume of this grand opus is a significant event.
The two-part structure of Moody's book recalls RF Foster's tremendous life of Yeats (also published by Oxford), and the two narratives often combine to good effect. But where Foster, especially in his more relaxed and dynamic second volume, manages to combine the story of Yeats's inner life with his career on the public stage, Moody adopts a more objective approach. His prose is more obviously driven by the need to get the facts straight and to grapple with the strengths and weaknesses of the poems, than by curiosity about psychological motives and personal characteristics. It means the book has an air of slightly detached efficiency - which is no bad thing, except that it makes Pound himself seem a touch remote. We see the blaze of his firebrand energy; we marvel at his generosity to writers of whom he approves; we admire his astonishing powers of self-driving; but we rarely feel these things on our pulses.
It's a compelling story all the same. From his respectable suburban beginnings, through his schooling in a small military academy at Wyncote, north of New York, and his immersion in foreign literatures at the University of Pennsylvania, Pound devoted himself to poetry with extraordinary devotion and ambition. Even his earliest poems, which come trailing clouds of decadent glory, experiment with the large-scale structures that would eventually find their apotheosis in the Cantos. Equally striking is his determination to position himself as a rebel, whether he's dealing with social conventions or poetic traditions. He wanted to "make it new" as soon as he made it at all.
Or at least he tried to make it new. Bolstered - as he would be throughout his life - by patrons and protégés such as Hilda Doolittle and Katherine Heyman, he began by talking the proto-modernist talk much better than he walked the walk. Dante, Villon and Browning all helped to shape his theories about how to drag poetry out of the late-Victorian doldrums, but the actual language of his early verses, in A Lume Spento (1908) for instance, is still slurred by its archaism and gilded gorgeousness.
Pound himself held the provincialness of America partly to blame, and after a brief but turbulent time at Wabash College in Crawfordville, Indiana, he travelled to London looking for greater freedom - and more publicity. It was a journey that Robert Frost would take a few years later, hoping for similar rewards, but whereas Frost found supporters and a stable audience almost immediately, Pound had to wait and struggle. It was partly his own fault. Although he delivered a strong and immediate blow to the styles of the old world, made friends with Yeats and gathered round him a community of kindred spirits (the Australian poet Frederick Manning, the publisher Elkin Mathews, Dorothy Shakespeare, the daughter of Olivia, whom he would eventually marry), he was still more effective as a provocateur than as a writer per se. The general reaction to his work was well summarised by Edward Thomas, who wrote warmly about Personae in January 1909, then changed his mind when Exultations was published in September of the same year. By common consent, there was too much noise about Pound and not enough substance; too much referring and not enough originality.
Like many revolutionaries before and since, Pound drew a good deal of energy from opposition, but he could see that some of his critics had a point. His theories about poetic renewal were still running ahead of his practice - partly because of the difficulties he found in reconciling a recognisably modern idiom and subject matter with the need to retain a sense of "mystery". Yeats helped to guide him towards finding a balance, as did Ford Maddox Hueffer (later Ford) and (by the early 1910s) Alfred Orage, the editor of the New Age. The influence of his reading among French medieval poets, and of emerging imagist contemporaries such as TE Hulme, was even more decisive. In the months leading up to the first world war he finally became more nearly the Pound we know and most admire - wonderfully braced in his translations (of "The Seafarer", and the Cathay sequence), and much more sharply focused on the here and now in his own work.
Much more effective as a poetic mover and shaker, too. Although the outbreak of the war meant his audience had better (ie, worse) things to think about than poetry, it also galvanised him with a new sense of urgency. As Moody says: "He had called for slaughter in a war without truce, meaning it metaphorically. The real thing seemed to him the final stupidity of the world he had wanted to destroy, a mindless murdering contest between detestable 'teutonic atavism' and 'unsatisfactory Democracy'." Blasting and blessing alongside Wyndham Lewis and other vorticists, acting as foreign correspondent for Harriet Monroe's Poetry, commissioning for the New Freewoman, Pound rallied others as furiously as he goaded himself to embrace "the point of imagism" - which was to recognise emotion as the primary energy in poetry because only emotion "causes a pattern to arise in the mind". When writing to his friend Alice Henderson he explained that this emotional energy could only be released by writing in a compressed style which preserved "the austerity or economy of the speech". It was a version of theories he had always held dear. Now, hideously dramatised by events in France, they finally became the reality of his writing.
Although Pound had always exploited his role as an outsider, Moody rightly emphasises that he scorned the "impotence" of "the mere aesthete" and believed "the serious artist" must engage with "the powers of the world" in order to act as a part of its "intelligence". In spite of his achievements during the early years of the war, it was often a period of frustration for Pound. He had "very little power of any kind", his audience was small, and he was worried that his poetic missionary work would centre him "in propagande" rather than new work. This meant that as the decade drew to a close, signals about his future as a writer were distinctly mixed. On the one hand his reputation seemed to be in decline, and his impatience was leading him to formulate political and social views that would later elaborate into the anti-semitism for which he became notorious. On the other hand, he had met Eliot, was about to meet Joyce and was writing more distinctively than ever. Fittingly, one of the best poems from this period, "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley", is an obituary for his young self - the self he had spent the previous 20-odd years escaping: "He strove to resuscitate the dead art / Of poetry; to maintain 'the sublime' / In the old sense. Wrong from the start . . ."
But right in the end. Moody's book ends shortly before the publication of Eliot's The Waste Land and Joyce's Ulysses, both of which Pound helped to bring into the world, and both of which marked the beginning of a long-sustained modernist triumph. It also leaves Pound himself in possession of the early Cantos, which would eventually become his master-work. Moody has led us to this crucial point with admirable skill as an organiser of material, and clear good sense in his role as a critic. If we sometimes miss the sound of Pound's heartbeats, the disappointment does not deter us from eagerly looking forward to the next volume.

The main question I get from people already inside the government is, �What other job series am I qualified for?� I have no answer to this question, and I would honestly like to know more myself. I have a GS grade and have experience in multiple job series � is there a crosswalk or similar cheat sheet to find out what other job series I am qualified for?... There�s federal government jobs, provincial and territorial. Federal is harder. Lots of Canadians want those, same with provincial. Territorial, meaning in Nunavut, Yukon and North West Territory are easier.
