Паоло Уртадо (,  27 липня 1990, Каяо) — перуанський футболіст, вінгер клубу «Локомотив» (Пловдив).

Клубна кар'єра
Народився 27 липня 1990 року в місті Каяо. Вихованець футбольної школи клубу «Альянса Ліма». У 2008 році він дебютував у перуанській Прімері. 10 березня у матчі проти «Сесар Вальєхо» Паоло забив свій перший гол за столичну команду.

Gifted Families
Autism Awareness and the Sibling's Perspective
April is World Autism Month!
Last week, Ashley Elrod, OTA, shared with us the role of Occupational Therapy in the lives of children who have Autism. This week we have another great way to celebrate Autism Awareness Month!
We have asked 10 questions to four different people, who either have a family member or work with a child on the Autism Spectrum. We hope the insights from a sister, mother, ABA therapist, and Au Pair give a unique perspective on what their experiences are loving and working with a child who has ASD.
It is said, "if you meet one person with autism, you have met one person with autism," and we believe this is so true!
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. Since Autism is a spectrum disorder each individual has their own set of strengths and challenges, they can range from high functioning to severely challenged. Some may require significant assistance while others may be more independent and in some cases living on their own completely.
–A Month of Awareness: Autism and Occupational Therapy Month
According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children in the United States today.
AUTISM AND SGF
Two of the families gifted by Specially Gifted Foundation have a child who is on the Autism Spectrum. Read the Wilson Family's Story or Malautea Family's Story to hear about their journey with the sweet boys Waylon and Noah.
Additionally, a Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapy Assistant offer great resources in our Facebook Group, Specially Gifted Parent Resource Community, every third Thursday of the month. Currently, there are two videos that cover Early Signs of Autism and therapy services offered by the school systems in Georgia. Please join and invite others who could benefit from asking questions to these knowledgeable professionals!
Read more about Therapy Thursday here.
AUTISM AWARENESS AND THE SIBLING'S PERSPECTIVE
1. What is your sibling's name and describe his personality to us?
His name is Braydin and he's 15 years old. He's rather outgoing around most, but he can be withdrawn and timid in certain situations. He's generally in a good mood and actually prefers company.
2. How old were you when you started noticing the unique qualities of your sibling that were different from yours?
I was older when he was born – 14 – so I was able to notice and understand more than if I would have been closer to him in age. Eye contact was the first indicator and then as certain ages came about that he was "supposed" to be hitting certain milestones, he just was not. His speech was delayed, as well as his gross motor.
3. How old was he when diagnosed? What was your response to the diagnosis?
He was diagnosed when he was 2, almost 3 years old. Because I was older, I understood what it could mean. At that time, I hadn't heard too much about ASD, but I was mature enough to hear what I was being told and look into it myself. Originally, I thought the worst and feared for how life would be for him, but as I aged and gained more knowledge on ASD I found that there are resources and it's not a diagnosis that had to stop him or us from living a life we loved.
4. Did you guys spend much time together? What activities did you share?
Because of our age difference, we were obviously in different stages and had much different interests. He's also my half brother so we spent time away from one another while with our other parents. I believe I've done my best to immerse myself into the things he was doing in order to maintain our relationship. He's very into motor vehicles and video games that have to do with building/driving them. One thing we did and still do, is play video games together. He's so proud of the vehicles he builds or collects and loves showing me how to do it and educating me on them.
5. What was the biggest obstacle you've overcome in his life being his sister?
One thing I've personally had to overcome, is forgiving myself for not being everything he's needed. The age difference lead to space between us. I was off to college when he was just 4 years old. I tried to be around more for support, but still felt it was never enough. He lives 3 hours away from me now, but when we do see each other I do my best to give him as much time and attention as possible.
6. What is the biggest obstacle he has overcome in his life from your perspective?
Braydin is rather social and I feel that to him that connection to others his age or not has been difficult. He's dealt with others not understanding him or his situation, and has been exiled. He's surrounded by family similar in age that he's been blessed with for that connection he needs, but I do know it's been hard for him to connect with peers in school.
7. What has your brother taught you?
Aside from ASD, Braydin has many other health issues. With those health problems AND ASD, Braydin has always had to be tough and put up with many doctors appointments, many medications, many absences from school, and just extremely hard days. Through it all, he always seems to start another day with a fresh attitude and outlook on how the day will go. He definitely gets in bad moods and can feel down, but he always bounces back. It's one thing I do admire about him and is something I should be better at doing.
8. What advice would you offer to siblings who have recently become a part of the ASD club?
Be supportive, be an advocate, and make sure they know they can count on you when they go through tough times. Don't shy away from speaking up for them.
9. What is your favorite part about being his sister?
My favorite part about being his sister is feeling his unconditional love. He's very forgiving and even when I feel guilty for lack of proximity, he makes me feel like it's all good and just wants to show me his new collection of vehicles he's collected on his game, haha! One moment I'll remember forever, was when I was visiting him years ago. I sat in on a speech therapy session and she had worked on the "L" sound. That night, when I was telling him good night I used her technique and helped him say "love you." It was the most precious thing and that's when I knew I wanted to work with children with special needs… (I'm a behavior therapist).
10. What would you like to tell the world about Autism?
Keep walking. Don't stare. Don't pass judgement on behaviors you see. Education is key. Learn and SHARE your knowledge about ASD – especially with your children, if you have them. Teach your children to be accepting of those who may seem different than them.
In conclusion, feel free to add any additional information or comments.
Overall, there are no 2 people with Autism who are the same. Don't assume things about them. Be open and accepting and they can be some of the coolest people you meet! If you're a family member or sibling, be there for them.
As told by, Lindsey Williams.

Have you ever swiped your credit card and had it not go through? Oh, who am I kidding. If you're reading this you don't have credit and have never done that. But if you were this man, who does have credit, you'd be thanking Yeezus that your card didn't work.
The man is in a gas station in Australia, just trying to pay for his bill. His credit card doesn't go through when he first swipes. That would probably be frustrating enough to make me leave the store in a huff.
But this man keeps trying to pay for his stuff. And it's a good thing that forced him to stay close to the counter, because if he stepped back he would have been killed by this out of control truck.

A renewables pier and development framework for Copland's Dock
9 Mar 2014 | blog, waterfronts, working with industry
In 2013, we were commissioned by Orkney Islands Council to prepare a development brief for land at Copland's Dock. Copland's Dock is directly across the Hamnovoe from the beautiful town of Stromness. We developed an urban design framework for the town and its surroundings in 2008 as well as preparing a number of development briefs for various sites in and around the town but now, some aspects of that work have been overtaken by events.
In particular, the land to the south of Garson has now been identified as the location for a renewables pier. This useful piece of infrastructure chimes with the Council's sensible ambition that the Orkney archipelago should play a role in the future of The New North and its potential for oil and gas as well as surface natural resources and the opening up of new trade routes through the Arctic Circle assisted by global warming.
Of course the Copland's Dock renewables pier is a small investment in the future but it opens up an area of land for associated developments which could be of great value to Orkney in terms of economic development. But could also be highly damaging in terms of environmental impact, especially the visual relationship with the historic fabric of Stromness itself and the National Scenic Area.
Purpose of the development brief
The Garson peninsular has experienced a gradual spread of development from north to south over the past decades. To date, there has been limited attention paid to ensuring a coordinated overview of development phasing or the establishment of parameters for building layout and design which reflect the highly sensitive setting of the sites. The Stromness UDF started the process of re-assessing the priorities for new development in Stromness. Critically, it established the overriding principle of ensuring that new development is contextually sensitive, well designed and of an appropriate quality to ensure that it is a long term asset to Stromness.
The purpose of this Development Brief is to provide more detail on the planning and design considerations which are critical to the successful coordinated development of the Garson site in the light of changing circumstances especially in relation to the growth of the harbour and the accommodation of the renewables industry.
A renewables pier: location and context
Copland's Dock lies to the south of recent residential development on the east shore of Hamnavoe around the area known as Whitehouse Rocks, immediately north of Inner Holm. It is a substantial area of land currently in agricultural use. Construction of a new pier on the site is underway together with a temporary access road and construction yard. The renewables pier will form the centrepiece of the new development area together with the existing disused Copland's Dock.
The proposal has been subject to environmental assessment as part of the SEA for the draft LDP. This concluded that the area was broadly acceptable for development subject to mitigation.
The main risks of adverse impact relate to visual intrusion within the National Scenic Area (NSA), the impact on the listed buildings and other historic features, the possibility of archaeological remains, the possible impact of the access road on residential amenity and road safety, and the need to protect water courses. It was considered that all of these potential impacts could be mitigated through the development brief for the site
Development Brief Strategy
The role of this Development Brief was to establish common planning and design principles for the development in order that the site development around the renewables pier as a whole is coordinated and well designed. It is recognised that the development of the site could be damaging to the visual integrity of the NSA and Stromness – or it could be developed in such a way that disruption was minimised, enabling the continued protection, conservation and sustainable management of the NSA Special Qualities.
The central strategy for the development of the area is that it should follow the coastline at a level somewhere between the upper flood limit and the bases of the field boundary walls around the site. Level development areas should be created at a height as close to the shoreline as possible, with minimum height of 4.57m AOD, rather than rising up over the existing agricultural areas. This means excavation of the rising ground around the new pier to create level yards against an exposed rock backdrop and natural rising ground which is typical of the context. This is a more appropriate response than trying to bench new development into the hillside in terraces.
New development proposals must also respond to the following strategic principles:
north of the new pier, the existing Copland's Dock area should be retained and used, with a new slip and storage for small boats
north of Copland's Dock, the development areas between the existing access road and the shore could potentially be used for small fishing industries
east of the new pier along the shoreline, yards should be created to meet the requirements of the emerging renewables industry and other appropriate users in phases
around the shore, provide for a network of open spaces and pedestrian routes including an area of public open space to the north of the development area
accepting a minimal industrial aesthetic in building design, keeping colour to a minimum
considering opportunities for biodiversity enhancement within open space areas identified within the site. For example by shrub / tree planting using native species and by incorporating existing stone walls within the development
consider and reduce light pollution from pier and yard floodlighting
ensure that any potential historical and archaeological richness throughout the development site is considered
consider using excavated material from yard construction to create new slipway or to create development areas at the sea edge

The Law of Small Potatoes
Many years ago, the Chinese farmers theorized that they could eat their big potatoes and keep the small potatoes for seed. Consequently, they at the big potatoes and planted the small potatoes. As a result of this practice for many years, the Chinese farmers made the startling discovery: nature had reduced all their potatoes to the size of marbles.
A new understanding of the law of life came to these farmers. They learned through bitter experience that they could not have the best things of life for themselves and use the leftovers for seed. The law of life decreed that the harvest would reflect the planting.
Horatio Bottomley was a British journalist and financier whose talents as a writer and orator earned him a seat in Parliament. But his name constantly came up in the courts in connection with fraud charges, and in 1922 he was finally sentenced to seven years in prison. It was there that a friend found him at work, stitching mailbags.
"Ah, Bottomley," the man said, "sewing?"
"No," the prisoner replied, "reaping."
Today in the Word, April 8, 1993
Many people sow their wild oats and then pray for a crop failure.
It Need Not Have Been
This is the bitterest of all—to know that suffering need not have been; that it has resulted from indiscretion and inconsistency; that it is the harvest of one's own sowing; that the vulture which feeds on the vitals is a nestling of one's own rearing. Ah me! This is pain! There is an inevitable Nemesis in life. The laws of the heart and home, of the soul and human life, cannot be violated with impunity. Sin may be forgiven; the fire of penalty may be changed into the fire of trial: the love of God may seem nearer and dearer than ever and yet there is the awful pressure of pain; the trembling heart; the failing of eyes and pining of soul; the harp on the willows; the refusal of the lip to sing the Lord's song.

Hamptons restaurants usually compete with one another to be different, to be exotic and adventurous. The new Winston's Bar and Grill on Montauk Highway in East Hampton does no such thing. It's a modest, casual place that serves three meals a day with a basic seafood, steak, chicken, no surprise menu. The chef, affable Winston Lyons from Jamaica has sprinkled just a few Caribbean dishes into the mix. Lyons, who has seen previous service at Bostwick's, East Hampton Point, The East Hampton Grille and Turtle Crossing turns out solid no-nonsense dishes in a venue that housed Nichol's for many years and the Quiet Clam before that.
Winston's rustic décor lends itself to the menu's basic fare. Little beside the wide, rough-hewed floorboards has changed from the Nichol's days. It's unabashedly old-fashioned, with a potbelly stove, slanted ceiling and walls of repurposed wine crates. There are pictures of the East End, many of them nautical-themed, throughout its dining room and equally large bar room.
The Caribbean influence on the menu is minimal: a scorching Caribbean octopus salad ($15), jerk chicken with fried plantains ($27) and a citrus Caribbean salad ($12). That's about it. The last, the Caribbean salad of desireable greens, avocado, grapefruit and orange, would pass muster at any restaurant. It's as American as it is Caribbean and was refreshing. The Caribbean octopus salad's jerked sauce was absolutely incendiary. It is a challenge even for those who relish spicy dishes. The other two starters were eight jumbo breaded fried oysters ($18), sufficient to provide a meal by themselves, and a respectable Manhattan clam chowder ($12) served in a shallow bowl that made it look like more than it was.
The main events were a delicious rotisserie chicken ($26) running with juices and full of flavor and a 16oz New York strip steak ($36) that boasted mineral flavor but was marred by too much gristle and fat. Rich, rewarding sautéed crabmeat stuffed into small crab shells was a bit skimpy for its $26.50 tab. The standard grilled salmon available on almost every Island menu comes on a bed of mashed potatoes and vegetables with a caper and lentil vinaigrette ($27) and is moist and better than most.
All desserts, and there are only three of them, cost $7. We passed on the mundane fruit cocktail. Instead we opted for the warm, fruit-flecked bread pudding and a simple ice cream sundae with a chocolate syrup base.
Diners interested in sampling Winston's should get there this summer. Its future is uncertain because there are plans afoot to tear down the old building in the next year or two and it's unsure whether Winston's will reemerge in the new structure.

WA Opposition Leader Turns Her Back on Retailers
Submitted by John Gray on Tue, 06/18/2019 - 02:05
The H.R. Nicholls Society, Australia's only institute solely devoted to reforming Australia's
Industrial Relations, today expresses its disappointment at WA Opposition Leader Liza Harvey's
decision to drop former leader Mike Nahan's deregulated shopping hours plan.
"The Western Australian retail sector is already struggling and the Opposition Leader's decision
is a huge blow following the announcement from NAB that retail is 'clearly in recession'" said
John Gray, Executive Director of the H.R. Nicholls Society.
"Mrs Harvey has wasted a golden opportunity to show the people of Western Australia that she
means business and adheres to liberal values. The decision is in conflict with the views of the
Chamber of Commerce and Industry and prominent business leaders in WA and it tells
struggling businesses that she's not listening.
"Mrs Harvey claims there hasn't been a major push from the community for deregulated trading
hours despite this issue being on the agenda of both of her predecessors and with business
leaders going on the record to compare current standards to those of the 1960s.
"If the WA Liberals want to challenge the McGowan government at the next election they will
need to take a leaf out of the federal Liberal Party's playbook and return to classical liberal
values and implement a system of widespread deregulation. The H.R. Nicholls Society calls for
the WA Liberal Party to allow businesses to choose when and how they trade."

You'll have to discuss fees with the agents in detail. Normally, an agent gets a fee when you sell your house, and if you co-list, you might end up paying bigger fees. In other words, the two agents might not split one fee.
With one agent listing the property, you have to deal with ony one person and only one company. With co-listing, that doubles, and you have to ensure that both agents are coordinating things like showings, open houses, and so on so that you're not dealing with dueling agents demanding that one of them get better showing times. At the same time, if you get two agents working together who have co-listed before successfully, that could be such a seamless partnership that you don't really notice any difference from having just one agent list the property.
Two agents co-listing a property gets you more potential buyers and more exposure, end of story (as long as the agents know what they're doing). One agent, even a successful, busy one, likely will not be handling all of the buyers looking in your area. If you really want people to know about your property for sale, co-listing is a good thing.
You've got to be sure your two agents can communicate and work together; otherwise, you might be looking at a bunch of conflicting advice. Good real estate agents, even those who have never co-listed before, should work out a strategy together so that you know what to do in terms of staging a home, if that's what is for sale, or what to do in terms of getting surveys done for empty land.
Co-listing can be a valuable asset when trying to sell a property that is not getting a lot of attention. Contact agents in your area and see if there are pairs who have worked together before or who are willing to co-list and cooperate.

Molecular basis of RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT) activation by RAM.
Varshney, D., Petit, A.P., Bueren-Calabuig, J.A., Jansen, C., Fletcher, D.A., Peggie, M., Weidlich, S., Scullion, P., Pisliakov, A.V., Cowling, V.H.
Maturation and translation of mRNA in eukaryotes requires the addition of the 7-methylguanosine cap. In vertebrates, the cap methyltransferase, RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT), has an activating subunit, RNMT-Activating Miniprotein (RAM). Here we report the first crystal structure of the human RNMT in complex with the activation domain of RAM. A relatively unstructured and negatively charged RAM binds to a positively charged surface groove on RNMT, distal to the active site. This results in stabilisation of a RNMT lobe structure which co-evolved with RAM and is required for RAM binding. Structure-guided mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations reveal that RAM stabilises the structure and positioning of the RNMT lobe and the adjacent α-helix hinge, resulting in optimal positioning of helix A which contacts substrates in the active site. Using biophysical and biochemical approaches, we observe that RAM increases the recruitment of the methyl donor, AdoMet (S-adenosyl methionine), to RNMT. Thus we report the mechanism by which RAM allosterically activates RNMT, allowing it to function as a molecular rheostat for mRNA cap methylation.

FIND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR
Advice A guide to being a pallbearer
A guide to being a pallbearer
Being asked to be a pallbearer at a loved one's funeral can be considered a great honour, so it's important to understand what is involved and the responsibilities that come with the role.
If you are arranging a funeral, you may wish to choose family members or close friends to be pallbearers, though you may prefer to ask your funeral director to provide their own, if they are able to do so.
This guide will cover:
Pallbearer duties
What to expect if you have been asked to be a pallbearer
Pallbearer etiquette
Choosing pallbearers for a funeral
A pallbearer is responsible for carrying the coffin or casket of the deceased from the hearse to its final place of rest, depending on whether it is a cremation or burial service.
At a cremation service, pallbearers carry the coffin or casket from the hearse into the crematorium, carefully placing it onto a stand which is known as a catafalque. Typically, there are a minimum of four pallbearers, though six can also be used depending on the weight of the coffin.
Pallbearers will either carry the coffin at waist height, on their shoulders, or wheel it in with the assistance of a small trolley, known as a wheel bier.
Burial service
A burial often includes a service at a crematorium chapel or place of worship. If this is the case, the coffin or casket will be carried into the chapel and placed on either wooden trestles or wheel biers at the front. At the end of the service, pallbearers will carry the coffin back out of the chapel and carefully place it back into the hearse before proceeding to the burial site.
Once at the burial site, pallbearers will carry the coffin to the grave, place it on wooden struts and position lowering straps through the handles of the coffin. When given the command, the coffin is lifted by the straps, allowing the wooden struts to be removed, and then lowered into the grave.
If you have been asked to be a pallbearer at someone's funeral, accepting the role can be quite unnerving. No one wants to be in the position of having to carry the coffin or casket of a loved one, though being asked to be a pallbearer can be considered a great honour and it may mean a lot to the bereaved to see their loved one's closest family members and friends carrying the coffin.
If you do choose to accept the role, you will be expected to help carry the coffin; this may be for a very short period if wheel biers are being used. You may be asked to shoulder the coffin, however this is only done at the request of the family and if it is safe to do so. If any of the pallbearers do not feel that they can shoulder the coffin, it will either be carried at waist height or placed on wheel biers.
It is best to arrive at the funeral slightly early if you have been asked to be a pallbearer. This will ensure that the funeral director can give you instructions on how to carry the coffin and where you will need to transport it to.
If you don't feel comfortable carrying the coffin or casket of a loved one, you do not have to accept the role. If this is the case, politely decline the offer and let whoever is arranging the funeral know why; they will most likely understand and respect your decision.
Here are some useful tips on being a pallbearer:
Carry the coffin with dignity and respect
Carefully follow the funeral director's instructions
Wear smart and appropriate attire
Walk slowly and steadily
Arrive at the funeral slightly early
Behave in a respectful manner
Avoid talking loudly or laughing
When arriving at the crematorium or place of worship, pallbearers are expected to stand at the back of the hearse in silence, facing forwards with their feet shoulder width apart and their hands held one on top of the other.
If a wheel bier is being used to transport the coffin, pallbearers should walk with one hand on the handle of the coffin and their free hand behind their back. When prompted by the funeral director, pallbearers will be expected to bow to the coffin for four seconds before exiting the chapel.
Choosing pallbearers if you are arranging a funeral
If you are arranging a loved one's funeral, you may need to decide who the pallbearers will be for the service. There are a number of things you will need to take into consideration when selecting pallbearers, and it is not always an easy decision to make.
Both men and women can be pallbearers, and many people often choose either family members or close friends of the deceased to carry the coffin. Traditionally, there are four to six pallbearers at a funeral, depending on the weight of the coffin.
If the coffin is to be carried on the shoulders, a pallbearer's height will need to be accounted for; choosing people of a similar height is preferable and will make the coffin easier to carry. The weight of the coffin will also need to be considered. If the coffin is especially heavy, additional pallbearers may be needed to help carry the coffin or casket.
It is also important to consider the distance in which the coffin will need to be carried. If the coffin has to be carried a long way, it may be better to use a wheel bier to take the weight. You will be able to discuss this in more detail with your funeral director.
You may ask your funeral director to provide their own pallbearers, depending on your family's preference and whether any family members or close friends are available or prepared to take on the role.
At Dignity, each and every one of our funeral directors will ensure sufficient pallbearers are available for your loved one's funeral, should you require them.

Just look at this beautiful place!! The hike will be on September 25, 2016 at High Point State Park located on Route 23 in Sussex, New Jersey, organized by Patty and Rob Rossi. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. at The Interpretive Center Parking lot (when you first enter the park). Do not go down to the Center. The trail is the Monument and is approximately 3.7 miles. Wear hiking boots if it's wet and bring walking sticks if you want. Bring water and pack a lunch for after the hike. There is a picnic area with grills we can use!
Elias Cole Restaurant is a great place to have breakfast before the hike or lunch after the hike. It's inexpensive and everything is homemade!!
We will be riding along the scenic Delaware River and Canal in the Washington Crossing Historic State Park area, enjoying lunch in New Hope after riding 7 miles north.
Our ride begins at 10:30 at the free parking lot on the NJ side at the intersection of Washington Crossing Pennington Rd. and Rt. 29. We'll ride west to the trail then north 7 miles along the Delaware River on the PA side up to New Hope for lunch. After lunch you have the choice of returning south 7 miles along the Canal on the NJ side or continuing another 4 miles up over Center Bridge and then back down for a total of 15 miles on the return. The terrain will be flat crushed gravel.
For directions: GPS Patriots Crossing Tavern 1339 River Road, Titusville, NJ 08560 (parking lot is across the street).
** Those who want to follow us, meet your carpool and leave your car, we ask that you arrive at our house by 8:45am. For more information contact Lee DeSantis @ lee-dreanscape@hotmail.com (201) 294-0404 or Abby Cohen @ letsski55@aol.com (973) 202-6123.
Saturday's ride is a flat, casual, scenic ride along Lake Champlain. Great views and a lot of fun! Mt. Bikes or Hybrids will work. We'll leave the Lodge Saturday @ 9AM to meet approximately 10:30AM at the Oakledge Park trailhead – 2 Flynn Ave. Burlington. Depending on conditions and time, we may take the $8 bike ferry over to South Hero. Great waterfront park to have a picnic lunch. Total ride will be about 25-30 miles. At a casual pace, totally doable.
We'll have a trailer with coolers for BYO grub and "refreshments". Some folks have gotten pretty creative with lunch fixings. The ride will take at least a half day. After the ride, we can check out what's happening in Burlington. Last year we went to Folino's Pizza/Fiddlehead Brewery which worked out great.
For those interested in trying some medium duty (think Blues/Double Blues) Mt. Biking, Sunday morning's ride is a beginner/intermediate ride at Pine Hill which is a few minutes from the Lodge. We'll start that ride @ 10am and go for a couple hours. There will be a fair number of hills but not super technical. It's fun for all.
Both rides are family friendly. Sunday's ride, however, will be more strenuous and a Mt. Bike will be needed for sure. Helmets and water are needed for both rides.
The lodge will be available starting 7PM Friday @ $15 for members & $30 for guests for the weekend. Kids 12 & under are $9 for the weekend. We're on our own for all meals. Email reservations@craigmeurskilodge.com for reservations.
To sign up and any questions, please contact Chuck Emery – emery.chuck@gmail.com or 973-723-5358.
Summer certainly has been full of activity for Craigmeur members. And Craigmeur Club events continue right into September and October. It's nice belonging to a club that offers social events all year around, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with friends, old & new. With mid-August comes thoughts of back to school, shorter days, changing seasons and with that change comes….. SKI & SNOWBOARD TRIPS !!
Continue to enjoy the warm weather and unencumbered outdoor activities. We will be bundled up and sliding downhill before you know it.
The guest speaker series continues!
I am happy to present Justin Bailey from the Appalachian Mountain Club as our guest speaker for August 17, 2016.
The Appalachian Mountain Club, formed 140 years ago, is a club made up of folks very much like our very own Craigmeur Ski Club. Our like interests encompass everything outdoors. They have chapters throughout the northeastern area of the United States and engage in a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, paddling, skiing, snowshoeing, and biking. They do a large range of outdoor conservation projects as well including trail maintenance on many of the hiking trails many of us have enjoyed hiking on. They also have a fantastic network of huts and lodges throughout the New England, available to members with various levels comforts for extended visits to our precious wilderness areas.
I really think this will be a fabulous opportunity for us to introduce our clubs to each other. Please plan to join us on this regular meeting night for an extraordinary treat.
Itinerary: Saturday-October 22, 2016-Depart Lodge-8:00A.M.

We are delighted to announce that we have teamed up with the Men's First Team whom have formed an extremely exciting new sponsorship deal with WWE for the 2021-22 season!
For decades, WWE has been the byword for professional wrestling entertainment worldwide, and its United Kingdom-based arm, NXT UK, has gone from strength to strength since its launch. With WWE's British Performance Center opening locally in 2019, it established Enfield as a base for wrestling entertainment in the UK.
Our Development team match shirts for the 21-22 season will officially bear the NXT UK® crest.
Replica shirts are on sale here: https://shop.etfc.london/product/special-edition-20th-anniversary-commemorative-shirt-adults
LONDON, UK & STAMFORD, CT, USA – August 19, 2021 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) and Enfield Town Football Club today announced a one-year agreement that will see a first-of-its-kind partnership spanning the 2021/22 football season in the UK.
Enfield Town Football Club's radical reputation within the football landscape was forged when in 2001 they became the first supporter-owned football club in the country – a move then widely adopted across the UK.
The 2021/22 Enfield Town Football Club 20TH Anniversary Home shirts were first revealed online by EVP, Global Talent Strategy & Development, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, in a video which can be seen here.
"The launch of WWE's UK Performance Center in 2019 saw the roots of NXT UK firmly grounded in Enfield and through this partnership we are thrilled to continue supporting the Enfield community," said Michael Levin, WWE Vice President, International. "Enfield Town FC and WWE share an intrinsic value of putting fans at the heart of everything we do, a vision of supporting the next generation of talent in sport and entertainment, and a goal of putting smiles on the faces of our fans."
Paul Reed, Chairman at Enfield Town Football Club, said: "For a fan-owned club committed to delivering a sense of community and entertainment to the local area, to have a partner with the magnitude and ethos of WWE is truly special. Our vision is one of inclusivity and equality for all and to be a social centre for Enfield, and we welcome NXT UK as part of the family in our 20thAnniversary year."
The NXT UK crest will appear on both the First Team's Home shirts and the Ladies Development Team Home shirts, a fitting way to mark Enfield Town Football Club's 20th Anniversary this year.NXT UK will also be visible in branding around the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, various digital club properties, and in community events planned to take place throughout the season.
NXT UK showcases the brightest stars of WWE's United Kingdom division including WALTER, Ilja Dragunov, Meiko Satomura, Trent Seven, and the youngest singles champion in WWE history, Tyler Bate. NXT UK also launched the WWE careers of former Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, SmackDown's Toni Storm, plus NXT's Pete Dunne and tag team Grizzled Young Veterans.
Weekly episodes of NXT UK air every Thursday at 8pm BST on WWE Network, repeated Friday at 10pm BST on BT Sport.
SummerSlam airs live from Las Vegas this Saturday, August 21, on WWE Network.

The Bible defines faith as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). As we take hold of our faith, God calls us to cling to His love, the blood of Jesus and the presence of His Holy Spirit, knowing it is the substance of these things we cannot see which manifest God's glory in our lives and carry us into eternity with our Father. Yet in our faith, God also calls us to hold steadfast to the knowledge and understanding of the spiritual laws we do not see. Just as God embedded unchanging, unalterable laws into creation (gravity, physics, seedtime and harvest), He embedded spiritual laws with the same unchanging nature into us and the atmosphere (Genesis 8:22). The struggle we face in believing such spiritual laws which state, a man reaps what he sows, pride comes before destruction and a man will be treated as he or she treats others rests in the delay between our actions and consequences – both good and bad (Galatians 6:7, Proverbs 16:18, Matthew 7:2). In Pastor Tracy's message, Secrets to Greater Honor, she ties living a life of honor and seeing our relationships strengthened together through the spiritual law which states, "honor is no more associated with fools than snow with summer and rain with harvest," (Provers 26:1).
Increasing our understanding of the law of honor is vital to the growth of our relationships because honor itself is engraved in the one commandment which fulfills the entire law – to love your neighbor as yourself (Galatians 5:13). While honor is most often associated with honesty, fairness and respect, it is also living with integrity towards one's beliefs. In other words, honor is living according to what we believe rather than what we feel. Consequently, when we live in honor – when we love our neighbor as ourselves – we are expressing regardless of how someone may have cursed us, abused us or mistreated us, we believe they are valuable and are worthy of being loved. We make the decision to look past the hurt, offense, and possibly the broken trust, remembering the person standing before us is a child of God, worthy of His grace. It's a decision which strengthens our relationships as it values the person over our situation and circumstances.
As we seek a life full of honor, we must remember every value God asks us to embrace requires us to be intentional about our behavior and mindset. Honor is no different. If we are going to live honorable lives we must make the decision to refrain from offense, speak only truth, live transparently, think before we speak and think of others before ourselves. Offense is the result of letting our feelings lead and our choices follow. When we refrain from offense, we allow the Holy Spirit to filter out the hurt within our hearts and replace it with truth regarding the people around us – a truth which echoes their identity in Christ. Only speaking truth abandons the need for self-preservation in crafting lies and carries us into a life of transparency; it ignites our transformation as we admit our faults and shortcomings, becoming more like Christ, seeking His wholeness in our situations. While God brings transformation in us through our ability to be transparent, He uses our words to transform others. Life and death is in the power of the tongue and if we adopt a lifestyle of thinking before we speak, God will fill our mouths with words seasoned with salt, for the purpose of edifying and encouraging others (Proverbs 18:21). When we pause and listen to the Holy Spirit, we engage in a lifestyle that thinks about others before ourselves. We are longer concerned with our own opinions, but become aware of how we can bring God's presence into our conversations and the lives of others. Living through the spiritual law of honor carries us into greater relationships because it removes our pride, seeks the value in others and fully expresses God's love.
When you think of honoring people, do you connect it with honoring God? How is honoring people directly tied to honoring God?
God's word commands us to love others as we love ourselves. Do you love yourself completely as God loves you? How can your lack of confidence in God's love towards you get in the way of how you love others?
Are you quick to get offended when someone does something against you? What are things you can do when you feel offense starting to rise in order to shake it off and express forgiveness?
How does thinking before you speak allow God to shift your perspective regarding the person you're talking to? How does it enable you to share God's love more effectively?
Do you feel the need to preserve your identity within your relationships or are you able to be transparent with those around you? How has your self-preservation limited the growth of your relationships? How has your transparency elevated your relationships?
Thank God for lavishing His love upon you. Ask that God would open your eyes to the height, depth, width, and length of His love. Pray that He would instill that same love in your heart for everyone you come in contact with. Thank God for leading you in a lifestyle of forgiveness. Thank the Holy Spirit for guiding you in humility and transparency. Pray your words would be seasoned with salt and full of love, speaking only after you've taken the time to listen. Ask God to put a burden in your heart for others and the courage to be obedient to His call.
Encourage your group by reminding them as they honor one another, they are releasing God's love into the atmosphere and hearts of others. Encourage your group to spend time in the Gospels and study how Jesus honored everyone around Him. Encourage your group members to each have someone in their lives who they can be completely transparent and honest with, knowing there won't be any condemnation or judgement. Share ways your group members can put others first in their day to day lives.

Letter from W. T. Reid to [John Muir], 1894 May 19.
W. T. Reid
[John Muir]
[letterhead]
At the late called meeting of those interested in the plan of a summer resort at Lake Tahoe it was voted as probably the most equitable and satisfactory way of disposing of the 45 acres that have been bought for the colony;
1st, to sell lots outright, with no restrictions & no obligations upon the buyer save that he is not to sell again except to a person who has been admitted to the association by un[an]imous consent. If any co-operative plan is adopted membership in it is wholly voluntary.
2nd, to have a driveway some 100 feet wide along the shore of the Lake, and such other driveways as seem best, and then have the remainder of the tract divided into 45 equal lots a little less than an acre each.
3rd, to sell these lots to the original subscribers or charter members at $36.50 a lot, &
give them the privilege of taking up the entire purchase.
4th, to distribute the lots in whatever way may be determined by the charter members.
It is hoped that some of the members may feel disposed to take several lots and either hold them for the public good without expectation of selling, or to sell them to future members at perhaps double the rate paid for them.
Will you do me the favor to let me know as soon as convenient how many lots you wish to subscribe for. A plot of the purchase with the lots numbered ready for distribution is in preparation.
Purchasers are, or course, at liberty to occupy the tract at once. I and some other purchasers will spend a portion of the present summer there.
W. R. Reid.

It will be interesting to see how the MPs that voted against the last bill, ostensibly for it's imperfect wording, vote on this bill. Will MPs like Tracy Gray find another lame-o excuse to cover their homophobia
Tracy Gray isn't a Liberal, so why would she have to worry about homophobia? You really need to get more informed on which parties are the true homophobes. The CPC is doing a fantastic job fighting the homophobic Liberals. Great job Tracy!!
The Tories are rubber and Liberals are glue...rah rah CPC. Whatever.
There are some Conservatives who aren't as blinded by partisanship, that actually care what their MPs and their leader do and say, that's why this thread exists. It is genuinely interesting to watch the Harperites, the progressives and the blindly faithful CPC fanboys go through this process. That last group is particularly fascinating as that's who refuses to see Tracy Gray's so-con bigotry, but also supports the duplicitous O'Toole, in spite of his Liberal-lite policy positions. It makes me wonder if there's any conservative ideology there at all and whether they would end up throwing their support behind the erstwhile reformers or the old red Tories if and when that alliance finally breaks.

The true test of Mr O'Toole's leadership will occur during the next 48 hours of Parliament. If he has the true metal to be Prime Minister will be shown as his Opposition members take their places in Parliament. Federal and Ontario provincial mandates require that all those who participate in Otawa's public Parliament must be vaccinated.
https://health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/program ... nation.pdf
https://www.canada.ca/en/government/pub ... ments.html
Approximately 5 in 100,000 people medically qualify for a mandated vaccine exemption. Therefore 5 to 8 elected members of CPC Opposition possibly claiming a medical vaccine exemption would be suspect. It would also severely reduce the credibility of the Opposition if this number of Opposition seek legitimate exemptions. The simple solution, hybrid Parliament. However, Mr O'Toole has opposed this solution. Without this solution, Parliament stalls over procedural issues not related to government bills regulating our economy, social and fiscal policy, and COVID related issues.
Mr O'Toole has a choice, pander to a small minority of CPC supporters or recognize the greater needs of Canada and get on with the business of offering Canadians a dynamic and effective Opposition. Whatever his decision it is time for ERIN to GO! GO! GO!

It is easy to fixate on the leader of a party, in part because who the party chooses for leader is a reflection of the party ethos.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politic ... se-theres/
"Usually, when there is a move afoot to eject a leader, their replacement is either leading the insurrection or waiting to see if it succeeds. Brian Mulroney manoeuvring to unseat Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clark in the 1980s; Paul Martin forcing Jean Chrétien out as Liberal prime minister two decades ago; Michael Ignatieff ready to replace Stéphane Dion as Liberal leader in 2008.
But no one is available to replace Mr. O'Toole. Finance critic Pierre Poilievre might or might not run if there is a leadership race, but he turned down an opportunity to run in 2020 because of family commitments. Those commitments remain. In any case, he is not behind the effort to bring down Mr. O'Toole.
Senior figures from the Stephen Harper years – former cabinet ministers John Baird and James Moore; former interim leader Rona Ambrose – don't appear to want the job."
"Not only is there no obvious person available to replace Mr. O'Toole, there is no obvious idea, either, no stream of political thought that Mr. O'Toole rejects but that could take the party to victory."
"Mr. O'Toole is criticized for being weak and inauthentic – a political chameleon who changes his spots to suit his audience, a leader who can neither convince his caucus and party to follow him nor suppress the inevitable dissent. This criticism is fair."
Yup, a "leader" who rejects what his party had democratically decided on as policy is bound to be weak and inauthentic. You can't have a very public leadership campaign of "true blue" and then campaign as "Trudeau-lite" and be authentic - or trustworthy. Nor can you pretend to have a robust GHG reduction plan when your party votes to reject the idea that climate change is real.
Mr. Ibbitson seems to hold out the hope that Mr. O'Toole can grow as a leader, but that train has left the station. The voters have Mr. O'Toole's identity firmly established as a "political chameleon" - and that means untrustworthy. The party membership was never very happy with Mr. O'Toole - his approval ratings in Alberta trailed even Mr. Trudeau for a while and were well behind Mr. Singh.
The CPC may indeed be stuck with Mr. O'Toole for a while. (Just as the Liberals were stuck with the likes of Dion and Ignatieff). Hopefully someone, or some group within the CPC can begin the process of building a new party consensus for the challenges of this century - and then from that process a new, authentic, believable and trustworthy leader will emerge.
The middle path - everything in moderation, and everything in its time and order.

For those who watched the CPAC Coverage of the election of the House of Commons Speaker. What was noticeable was the eight empty seats ( there could have been more but view was limited by camera angles) in the area occupied by the CPC Opposition members. It would appear that some CPC members could not enter the House for some reason or other.
Mr O'Toole during his welcoming message demonstrated leadership and a dedication to representing all Canadians. He was loudly supported by his members. Time will tell if that support lasts more than a day. Hopefully, the CPC can remain unified enough to provide a substantial and credible criticism.
Mr. Blanchet did insist that all members on the Parliament be fully vaccinated. This will be an interesting session since the battle lines seem to have been drawn. The Speech from themThrone tomorrow,

Hello Reg,
Parliament has (finally) returned. It's been months since elected Members have sat in the people's House. And in that time, we've seen no shortage of crises and important work get ignored by the Trudeau Liberals.
From day one of my leadership, I committed to you, and all Canadians, that our team will be relentlessly focused on the job at hand – holding the Liberals accountable, getting our economy back on track, and healing the division in this country caused by the politics of Justin Trudeau.
Anything short of that focus is simply not acceptable to me.
We have a strong team of dedicated members of the Conservative caucus ready to take the fight to the Liberals on the issues that matter, and each one of us know our focus and attention needs to be on the everyday things that affect you and your family.
With the economy struggling, housing becoming more unaffordable, inflation at an 18 year high, supply chain disruptions, and a widespread natural disaster in British Columbia, I'm not going to be asking you for a donation today.
While the work we do as a party comes at significant financial cost, and as the year comes to a close after an expensive and unnecessary election called by Trudeau, you will hear from our team about what you can do to help us – today though, I just wanted to update you on the work our Conservative team is actually doing rather than the headlines you might read, pushed by those that would rather disrupt that work than let us focus on the work ahead.
What will you hear from us? You'll hear Pierre Poilievre hold the Liberals accountable on the growing inflation leaving less money on your paycheque. You'll hear Michelle Rempel outline the attacks on our natural resource jobs from an ideological Justin Trudeau. You'll hear John Brassard staying busy just trying to keep up with the latest ethical failing from the Trudeau Liberals. And Raquel Dancho and Rob Moore will take charge on the growing crime problem under this government's watch.
Plus so many other strong, passionate Conservative members holding the Liberals accountable whether it's on censorship, national unity or the "Ottawa knows best approach" to everything they do.
And me? I'm not ever going to let Justin Trudeau off the hook for his disastrous economic management.
If he thinks he didn't enjoy Question Period before, just wait until he has to face off against our team again.
That's the important work we're going to be doing. And while the Liberals and their friends will do everything they can to distract us from that, my message to them is simple – you won't.
There is too much at stake. There are too many things going wrong in this country. Our entire Conservative team is focused on ensuring the Liberals no longer get a free ride.
The Liberals have divided this country. Conservatives will unite it.
Justin Trudeau has failed our economy. I will secure it again.
On behalf of our entire Conservative caucus, thank you for everything you do for our movement.
Erin O'Toole
Leader of Canada's Conservatives
What a great leader, doing such a fantastic job. Keep up the great work Erin!

Yup, just another example of O'Toole's complete and total failure to lead. O'Toole has done a great job making the CPC the laughing stock of Canadian politics and is a true embarrassment to right wingers everywhere.
If you took time on Christmas Day to yell about politics on the internet you're a special kind of loser, and truly just the absolute worst.
I'm not sure what's funnier about O'Toole's crumbling CPC - the fact that he still calls himself a leader or that there are O'Toole supporters swooning over love letters from their disgraced and incompetent leader.

75% of Canadians support LGBTQ rights, but not the regressive CPC under O'Toole the waffler
77% of Canadians support a woman's right to choose, but not the regressive CPC under O'Toole the waffler.
71% of Canadians want strong actions on man made climate change, but not the regressive CPC under O'Toole the waffler.
Who is the real divisive person and party - why O'Toole and the CPC who are constantly on the backward side of history, science and logic. The whole thing with the CPC is that it has become a collection of mixed nuts.

Great points. I feel like right-wingers are taking crazy pills.
Actually, this was not a load of Malarkey, and not sure what the "Noriega" comment is all about, but I'm sure it's something childish and asinine so not going to bother caring too much.
Erin is doing a fantastic job - and he's not "wee" either. He's a great leader, and leading an amazing party. Go Erin!!
Things just keep getting worse for the disgraced and defeated Erin O'Toole. Just one day back in parliament and the CPC is already showcasing how fractured and rudderless it's become under O'Toole's failed leadership.
Tory vaccination status in spotlight after MP tests positive on eve of new Parliament
Concern over the vaccination status of Conservative MPs was front and centre on the eve of a new session of Parliament after one of them tested positive for COVID-19.
Quebec MP Richard Lehoux's diagnosis added urgency to the push by Liberals and New Democrats to continue with a hybrid format in the House of Commons, which would give MPs the option of participating in proceedings virtually.
And it prompted government House leader Mark Holland to suggest Sunday that the Commons needs to adopt a system for verifying the validity of medical exemptions claimed by an unknown number of Conservative MPs.
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole has said he and all his 118 MPs will be in the House when it returns Monday, either because they're fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or because they have a medical exemption. He has repeatedly refused to say how many are not fully immunized.
Given the Conservatives' mixed views on vaccination, Holland suggested the party can't be trusted to police its MPs who claim a medical exemption.
"I'm deeply uncomfortable with their circumstance," Holland said in an interview Sunday.
He said public health experts estimate that one to five people out of 100,000 would have valid medical reasons not to get vaccinated. Thus, he said it's hard to believe there would be multiple Conservatives out of a group of just 119 MPs who would have legitimate exemptions.
That would be "the equivalent of winning the Lotto 6/49 six times. It just is statistically utterly improbable," he said.

Why does O'Toole's letter to Reg mention censorship? Buzz-word?
Erin's party includes a person who thinks she's Rosa Parks because she's tweeting lies and bunk about vaccinations. You'd think even hardcore conservatives would want to distance themselves from trying to callously rewrite the history of black rights, but no.
Here's answer to your question regarding the Noriega reference: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion ... he-leader/
There's a word for a system that demands unanimous support for the leader, and it isn't democracy
The dilemma facing the Conservative leader – the dilemma facing any Conservative leader – is familiar. To win the party leadership, you have to have one set of policies. To win the country you have to have another.
Erin O'Toole's solution to this dilemma was equally familiar. To bridge the gap between party and public, he simply promised them each different things, hoping the first would not mind and the second would not notice. And indeed, had the public not noticed, and Mr. O'Toole been elected, the party would probably not have minded, much. Power is the ultimate sedative.
Alas, you can only push this so far. The contradictions – between pricing carbon and not pricing it, banning automatic weapons and not banning them, and so on – were too glaring. Eventually the country got wise; then the party got mad. A leader who sacrificed principle for power might be forgiven, as might a leader who sacrificed power for principle. But a leader who sacrificed both, for nothing – who sold them out and still lost? That's a hard thing to survive.
Hence Mr. O'Toole's latest persona: neither the angry ideologue of the leadership race nor the smiling pragmatist of the election, but the hardened autocrat, practised dealer in the harsher sort of power politics, willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto his office.
"Conservatives are united only by the belief that someone else should not be in power. It should not be entirely surprising to find that principle applied within their own ranks.
A strong leader, or at least a realistic one, does not insist on unanimous shows of support. Unanimity is not found in democracies (although it is found in the Liberal caucus, which last week voted unanimously not to arm itself with any of the Reform Act's four powers), and in any case support is usually best offered rather than demanded.
If Mr. O'Toole feels he has the support of the party, he has no need to hide from its judgment. He should welcome a review of his leadership, and the sooner the better. Or if he does not have the support of the party, why is he still leader?"
That's Andrew Coyne's take.
And yup, "wee Erin" is indeed apropos, the guy is hopelessly lost among the CPC party of mixed nuts.
Return to "Canada"

The Most Cost-Effective Climate Solution Available: Keep Forests Where They Are
Blaine Miller-McFeeley Senior Legislative Representative
Addie Haughey Legislative Director, Lands, Wildlife, and Oceans
We're calling on the Biden administration to conserve all mature and old-growth trees throughout our federal forests.
A few months ago we celebrated the Biden administration's announcement that it would halt large-scale old-growth logging in the Tongass National Forest. We saw this crucial protection for the Tongass – our largest national forest, located in Southeast Alaska – as a moral imperative. The Tongass is one of the most important forests in the world for carbon sequestration and the lifeblood for many Alaska Native communities. We are extremely thankful that the Biden Forest Service took this step – and we are pushing for the administration to do more to meet the moment and solve climate change. Extending this safeguard to all of our carbon rich old-growth forests nationwide will be crucial. These irreplaceable forests naturally absorb greenhouse gas emissions and must stay intact instead of being auctioned off to the timber industry.
Today we're calling on the Biden administration to take administrative action to conserve all mature and old-growth trees throughout all federal forests across our country. We believe this is the only way for the United States under President Biden to be an honest leader in the international community by demonstrating real commitment to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
This fall, a U.S. delegation will attend the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. At that conference, world leaders will discuss how to protect rapidly disappearing landscapes like the Amazon – yet for the U.S. to meaningfully engage in this conversation, we must first protect our own forest carbon sinks at home. Protecting U.S. forests is an essential part of meeting our commitments under the Paris Agreement. Protecting carbon sinks like the Amazon and the Tongass is the largest, most cost effective, natural climate solution available.
The mature and old-growth forest ecosystems that can be found across the U.S. National Forest System store even more carbon per acre than tropical rainforests and protecting them won't just store carbon. For Indigenous communities, these forests also support a cultural heritage stretching back thousands of years. If mature and old-growth forests continue to be logged, Indigenous communities will face the loss of areas vital to culture and heritage, and ecosystems they have stewarded for millennia.
Older forests are also a key solution for confronting the planet's related extinction crisis, since they buffer species from more extreme climate impacts and provide vital habitat for imperiled species like salmon. At the same time, essential benefits such as clean water can also be attributed to intact forests. Establishing permanent protections for these natural carbon reservoirs and climate sanctuaries is directly in line with the Biden administration's goal to protect 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030.
To mitigate the impending climate and biodiversity crisis, the conservation of mature and old-growth public forests must be a central component of our nation's climate strategy. The United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management should establish permanent protections for mature and old growth federal forests and trees nationwide. It will be one of the most cost-effective and powerful near-term climate solutions the United States can employ.

Defective AC Compressor | Ambrose Air Inc.
At Ambrose Air Inc, we know that the compressor is the heart of the refrigeration circuit. It pumps and pressurizes the refrigerant to move it through the A/C system. Compressors work hard and run hot, up to several hundred degrees and several hundred pounds per square inch of internal pressure. They rely on only a few ounces of lubricant to keep their parts moving. If the lubricant is lost because of a leak, or the lubricant breaks down due to contamination, the compressor will not last. Sooner or later, the compressor will call it quits, but it also is the most commonly misdiagnosed component in the AC system.
The most common symptom of a compressor failure (besides no cooling) is a seized compressor. It will not turn when the magnetic clutch engages, and you may hear squeals of protest from the drive belt. Or, the belt may have already broken or been thrown off its pulleys.
Loss of lubrication is unquestionably the most common cause of compressor failure. This can happen when there is a refrigerant leak somewhere in the system that allows refrigerant and oil to escape. Typical leak points are hoses, hose and pipe connections (O-rings and flange gaskets), the evaporator, condenser or the compressor shaft seal. An electronic leak detector or dye should be used to find the leak so it can be repaired.
A restriction inside the A/C system can also starve the compressor for oil. Oil circulates with the refrigerant, so if the orifice tube or expansion valve is blocked it may cause the compressor to run dry and seize.
Even if a compressor is still turning, it may have to be replaced if it is leaking, making excessive noise or not working correctly. Some compressors are naturally noisier than others, but loud knocking noises can sometimes be caused by air in the system (the cure here is to vacuum purge the system to remove the unwanted air, then to recharge the system with refrigerant). Metallic noises and bearing noise are usually signals that the compressor is about to fail.
A new compressor may be needed if the unit is leaking internally or not producing enough pressure due to bad reed valves, worn piston rings, or worn or scored cylinders, etc.). A worn compressor or one with internal problems will not be able to develop normal operating pressures with a full charge of refrigerant. This kind of problem can be diagnosed with an A/C gauge set.
Poor cooling can also be caused by a lot of things other than a bad compressor, so do not replace the compressor until you have ruled out other possibilities such as a low refrigerant charge, too much oil in the system, air contamination, a clogged condenser, plugged orifice tube, inoperative electric cooling fan, etc.

Students win a change of venue
By The Ranger on	 October 16, 2014 News
Simon Sanchez, computer science sophomore and Student Leadership Coalition member (dressed in black at center), leads a protest Oct. 13 in the courtyard at Palo Alto about the distance to the board meeting in which the trustees will discuss a decision to remove concentrations from associate degrees. Trustees meet at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at Killen Center. Read the story online. Photo by Tim Hernandez
Peaceful protest calls for reversal of diploma decision
sac-ranger@student.alamo.edu
A letter from Palo Alto College students prompted a change in the location of the regular board meeting to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 in Room 101 of Killen Center, 201 W. Sheridan.
Students, who protested the removal of a concentration on diplomas and transcripts, complained that the meeting planned for Northeast Lakeview College was too far away to enable many to attend.
The protest coincided with the South Side college's Native American and Hispanic Heritage Month's kickoff celebration Monday.
Juan Tejeda, professor of Mexican studies and music, introduced the Student Leadership Coalition, who led a peaceful protest of changes to diplomas and transcripts.
Psychology sophomore Christopher Giddens told the crowd about the coalition's disapproval of Alamo Colleges' decision to remove majors from diplomas and transcripts starting this fall for all incoming freshman.
Giddens said the coalition had submitted a request to District 3 trustee Anna Bustamante, chair of the Alamo Colleges board, to move the Oct. 28 regular board meeting from Northeast Lakeview College to a more centralized location.
The board regularly meets at Killen Center, 201 W. Sheridan, centrally located south of downtown.
The Oct. 28 meeting was scheduled at Northeast Lakeview College to coincide with a capital improvements plan celebration, public relations Director Mario Muñiz said.
Once a year, the board meets at one of the colleges for its annual board retreat. This year's retreat is scheduled for Nov. 18 with a location yet to be determined.
After the announcements, the Student Leadership Coaltion led students away to a position not far from the celebration.
By 1:30 p.m., their numbers had grown from 13 to about 30.
Simon Sanchez, computer science sophomore and coalition leader, estimated the protest's 30 students represent closer to 200 through email, text and Facebook supporters.
Some of the protesters sealed their mouths with black duct tape.
Sanchez said it symbolized the silencing their voices. Those without taped mouths chanted and cheered.
Giddens said district officials should stop making policy without including students' voices in decisions.
Sanchez said, "We want the Alamo Colleges to revoke the decision to remove majors from degrees and transcripts. In the future we, the students, want more input in decisions that affect the student body."
The board meets at 6 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month unless changed to avoid holidays or other conflicts.
A listing of meeting times for committees and the full board is online at http://www.alamo.edu/district/board/agenda-deadlines/.
An agenda is posted 72 hours before each meeting.
For more information, call board liaison Sandra Mora at 210-486-0030.
