EPA Agenda Includes Clean Water Act Expansion
December 23, 2013 Rock Products News
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Nov. 27 regulatory agenda included items related to the Clean Water Act, lead paint programs, post-construction stormwater and stormwater ELG, among other items.
A final conference report on water resources legislation will almost certainly have to wait until early 2014, according to the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA). Conferees to the Senate-House negotiations are signaling that Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) are putting the finishing touches on a conference report, but time is simply running out.
Both sides were hoping to finish the year with a presidential signature on a major piece of legislation dealing with infrastructure, but kicking off 2014 with such a victory may not be a bad way to get the ball rolling toward a similar deal on surface transportation, NSSGA said.
Clean Water Act
New to the regulatory agenda is a proposed rule that would likely expand the EPA's jurisdiction under the federal Clean Water Act. Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), along with the Waters Advocacy Coalition, recently submitted comments on a draft scientific report released by EPA on the connectivity of water, which is intended to guide the proposed rulemaking. The rule is listed on the agenda for December and is currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget.
Lead Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Program
EPA has moved a rulemaking that would expand its existing Lead Paint Renovation and Repair Painting rule to include public and commercial buildings to long-term action. ABC, as part of the Commercial Properties Coalition, recently aired their concerns with the proposal at a public hearing in June.
Post-Construction Stormwater
EPA continues to list its post-construction stormwater rule under long-term action. In a 2010 settlement agreement, EPA agreed to issue a proposed national stormwater rule for developed and redeveloped sites by June 2013. The agency has yet to issue a proposed rule.
Stormwater ELG
EPA continues to list February 2014 as the date to issue a final rule on the Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Construction and Development Point Source Category. In April, EPA issued a proposed rule in response to a settlement agreement which withdrew the numeric discharge limit from the existing 2009 Construction and Development Effluent Limitations Guidelines Rule. According to the settlement agreement, EPA will take final action by Feb. 28, 2014.

Other than a WM/WP what is your daily driver?
Do you use a different OS outside of WM/WP for your daily activities?
Are you forced to use another OS for your job or business?
If you are using another platform for daily needs is it pleasing to return to WP/WM at the end of the day?
Is your situation "a tale of two cities" or are you a one phone person?
I'll be the first to answer this, I use a Lumia 950 XL as my personal phone and work provides an iPhone SE. I like the app store on the iPhone, but the OS on my Lumia is my preference.

My work uses Windows phones. They gave us all Lumia 435's or 650's which aren't great (well not since I drew a short straw with a 435) to use so I bought a Lumia 950xl to use with the company sim instead. I was using an iPhone 7plus as my personal phone but liked the 950xl so much I sold the iPhone and made the 950xl my personal daily driver. Now I use my sons old Motorola Moto G 2015 model as my work phone and for running as it's pocket sized and has all the fitness apps I need that aren't available on Windows (MyFitnessPal, TomTom MySports, Run keeper, Apple Music).

I'm a chronic switcher so I use whatever one works for me for the day or week.
My daily driver at the moment is the iPhone SE. Ideally I like to have one of each platform and just change between them as I feel like it.
At this point, I pretty much use my 950 daily though, just not as a phone. It always feels nice to use it and I'm not opposed at all to using it as a phone. I just really value battery life so using it as a phone requires daily charging.

Android has been my main bang for over a year now while I'm waiting for WM to converge into something great.
Both the wife and I had been WP users for quite some time until certain defincenies arose.
I'm still using a WP 8.1 device as a phone and camera. For other tasks the iPhone and Android have invaded our digital lives.
I think having another phone handy on Android or iOS to fill the gaps really makes the difference. I've never managed to stay on Windows Phone long term in the past as the frustrations grew too much and I'd crack and switch to an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S for a bit.

I've been on Android for years but liked the concept and look of Windows phone since I first saw it. But the amount of bad reports put me off trying it until 8.1 arrived and I just had to give it a try on a L830, despite the phone store spending half an hour trying to put me off it.
And I've loved it from day 1 despite all the usual gripes. I hesitated to move to 10 for a long time, again because of the many bad reports about it. Once installed,I was very pleased overall with the improvement, again despite all the usual gripes.
I also use a galaxy note 4 daily because I've always had an android phone and it does things my Lumia can't do. The Lumia and Windows Phone is always my first choice but if the Lumia breaks down there's nothing available/affordable here in the UK to replace it with.
My 8 year old grandchildren asked me last week to show them something on the Lumia. They both have iPads and use mother's galaxy s6 at times. But looking at the Lumia made their jaws drop in awe! They think the start screen and live tiles are amazing and beautiful. They found using it so easy and intuitive and pleaded with me to "make mommy's phone look and work like that" so they'd be able to do the same to their ipads when they got home. They were So disappointed that it can't be done.
My point being that the media, the networks and their stores, Microsoft themselves and so many people on this forum don't value what we've got. But tech savvy children can see it, "get it" and want it because of its many merits.

I have two phones that I use daily depending on my needs for the day. I prefer using my HP X3 but I am forced to use an iPhone 6s Plus for my job.
I work in the ticket office for the Arizona Diamondback baseball team. I have to have MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark apps on my phone for use with customers.
If MLB started supporting Windows again, I would sell the iPhone but alas, that's not happening.
Preference of the two for personal use; the HP X3 by far is easier and more enjoyable to use.

You finally score a seat in Main Stacks during dead week. You settle in, crack open your massive textbook, plug in your laptop, log into AirBears and then … crunch crunch crunch. Chomp. Riiiiiiiiiip. The person across from you is chowing down on who knows what — and everyone at the table is glaring.
We all know that in a silent library, food takes on levels of sound, smell and messiness we never knew were possible. Who knew an apple could be that loud, a muffin could crumble that much?
If you're the type to heed those "No Food" signs, we applaud you. But because you have to eat at some point, we're here to weigh in on the worst and best foods to pick up on your way to the library from Southside. Don't get caught eating, but more importantly, don't be "that person" to your fellow study fiends.
Two words: paper bag. Remember when SunChips introduced a biodegradable bag louder than a gas lawn mower? Yeah, the noise of the Chipotle bag is on that level when you're sitting in the silence of Main Stacks.
The reason we all descended into the depths of the stark Main Stacks dungeon was so we could actually concentrate on what we're studying. And you're keeping us from doing that with those enticing wafts of curry.
You'd think salads would be relatively safe, but beware of croutons, carrots and other incognito crunchy items. And, to guarantee equal distribution of toppings among the greens, you'll probably have the urge to shut the plastic container and shake it. Just don't. Also, the cornbread: You'll be finding crumbly bits in the bottom of your backpack, in your notebooks and in the nooks of your computer well into spring semester. And so will the person sitting next to you.
This is along the same lines as the whole chicken tikka masala deal (see above). The original plan we had was to stay in the library and get some work done until 8 p.m. But now it's 4 a.m. And then there's that strange slurping noise when the cheese is too hot and you're trying not to drop all of the toppings on your MacBook Air. Don't lie to yourself; you know exactly what we mean.
Soft and discreet, donuts provide a source of comfort food, and they remain intact when you take a bite (bonus: The smell isn't far-reaching). We recommend the ones sans sprinkles to avoid a case of the cornbreads. Also, they provide that extra sugar kick you need to get through that last paper.
This is a stellar option if you manage to find a seat at 4 p.m. and plan on staying there until 4 a.m. You can prove you don't have to sacrifice your square meals to your endless studying. So you can have your sushi and eat it too.
3. Tomato Soup, Soup Co.
Soup Co. hack: Order a large, pour it into a thermos, seal it up tight and you've got an easy, warm, mess-free option. We recommend tomato soup for easy sipping (make sure to bring a spoon if you're set on chicken tortilla).
Try soft fruits and vegetables if you have a case of the munchies that liquid soup just won't satisfy. Our favorites pass the noise, messiness and smell tests: Try bananas, grapes, berries, sliced cucumbers, snack-pack peaches or applesauce.


Purpose of Position: Interns will be involved in providing administrative support to the REACH staff, while assisting in event planning and coordination for several client projects. Our internship goals are to teach and educate critical responsibilities and functions such as logistical coordination, administrative requirements, and marketing techniques across multiple platforms.
Excellent computer skills (including MS Word, Excel, and Outlook) with ability to quickly learn new programs as needed.

Q: Juju charm: action failed: (ImportError: No module named 'charms.reactive') As a newbie to juju framework, I'm invistigating simple machine deployment with the aim of executing simple action on it.
So, I've created a charm bundle, built it and deployed it successfully using juju.  The bundle contains an action called "touch" that takes a string (i.e.: filename) as an input and create a file with that name on the machine.
After the machine becomes "active" and when I list actions in the deployed machine using:
juju actions charmLayer

I get my action listed alongside its description.
Now, when executing the actions "touch" using:
juju run-action charmLayer/0 touch filename="/home/ubuntu/manual.txt"

I get the following message:

Action queued with id: d6b39965-9a2c-41c6-8db7-b4060e587033

Then, when I check the action-status:
juju show-action-status d6b39965-9a2c-41c6-8db7-b4060e587033

I get the following:

actions:
action: touch
completed at: "2019-05-03 11:56:51"
id: d6b39965-9a2c-41c6-8db7-b4060e587033
status: failed
unit:
charmLayer/0

Then when I check the action-output:
juju show-action-output d6b39965-9a2c-41c6-8db7-b4060e587033

I get the following:

message: exit status 1

enqueued: 2019-05-03 11:56:48 +0000 UTC
started: 2019-05-03 11:56:51 +0000 UTC

when checking logs using :
juju debug-log

I see the following output:

unit-charmLayer-0: 13:23:14 DEBUG unit.charmLayer/0.touch Traceback (most recent call last):
unit-charmLayer-0: 13:23:14 DEBUG unit.charmLayer/0.touch   File "/var/lib/juju/agents/unit-charmLayer-0/charm/actions/touch", line 6, in
unit-charmLayer-0: 13:23:14 DEBUG unit.charmLayer/0.touch from charms.reactive import main, set_flag
unit-charmLayer-0: 13:23:14 DEBUG unit.charmLayer/0.touch ImportError: No module named 'charms.reactive'

My question why am I getting this ImportError for the charms.reactive ?

A: Can you post your code?  We might be able to help if we can see how you've composed your charm.  (this should be a comment, not an answer.  I don't have the rep).
In answer, are you importing charms.reactive?  If you're writing a reactive charm it should have been included for you already if you did charm init.  Otherwise you might need to add import charms.reactive at the top of your Python script.

We're Good Food Award Finalists!
We are so excited to announce that two of our coffees, Carino Blend and a small lot from Honduran farmer Karla Portillo, have been recognized as finalists for the Good Food Awards, an honor bestowed annually upon some of the most delicious and most sustainable food products in the United States.
The COMSA cooperative is located in Marcala, Honduras. Through ownership of our importer, Cooperative Coffees, Higher Grounds has been purchasing large FTO lots from COMSA since 2014 for a few of our signature blends. So when we had the opportunity to purchase small lots from individual farmers within COMSA, uniquely-processed and cared for within their microlot program, we were thrilled. Each year since 2016, we have selected microlots from a handful of individual COMSA producers, who passionately work together and support each other to produce exceptional coffees. This year, Karla Portillo's honey processed lot stood out among the rest, and we're thrilled that it has been recognized with this prestigious designation.
Finca Planeta Verde, Karla Portillo's farm, was established in 2015 as a family project with a clear objective: to process high quality organic coffee in harmony with nature. As a fair trade certified farm, Planeta Verde ensures that all workers are treated equitably and compensated fairly.
Our director of coffee, Jennifer, spoke with Karla about her farm. Karla says, "The farm project is about being friendly with nature, respect for the environment is paramount, specifically with the care of fauna, birds […and] bees." Karla's farm also has a social project specifically to support families in her community with clothing. 2021 was her first year producing a microlot, and with the extra income from that, she hopes to expand the support she can provide for school supplies in her community as well. Further, she shared that her area is characterized by an abundance of birds, and they plant fruit and ornamental trees so that the birds can come to the farm "to eat fruit and live happily. In other words," she said, "birds live freely, not in captivity."
Jennifer also asked her about any special projects she was working on.
"A social project that is always done specifically is to support some families with clothing," she said. "This year is the first time that we sell coffee in microlots, and with this support we hope to improve the bird project and support with school supplies in the community where the farm is located. Social support is mainly done with the farm's collaborators.
"Our area is characterized by the abundance of birds and birds. What we do is plant fruit and ornamental trees so that they can come to the farm to eat fruit and live happily. In other words, birds live freely, not in captivity. [Our coffee] is certified organic."
The profile of this cup is something special, characteristic of strawberry-rhubarb streusel and wildflower honey. We enjoy it most using a 16:1 ratio of water to coffee, brewed through a well-rinsed paper filter, in a method like Hario V60 or Chemex to bring out all the subtle nuances and highlight its silky body. You can enjoy Karla's coffee as part of our trio gift set of female Honduran producers, along with small lots from Irma Garcia and Miriam Perez, both of whom are Karla's fellow members of the COMSA cooperative.
Carino is a blend that we originally designed to be prepared as espresso, but as it turns out tastes delightful when brewed pretty much any way you like! Sweet, juicy, and fruit-forward, Carino (which is an endearing term in Spanish meaning "sweetheart" or "honey") is a blend of honey- and natural-processed coffees. These processes, which happen very near where the coffee is grown and harvested, involve leaving some of the coffee fruit on the seed throughout fermentation and drying, resulting in a heavier body and more prominent sweetness in the final cup. We used to feature Carino as a seasonal product, but we've fallen so hard for it that we've decided to keep it in our lineup year round, altering the blend with different honey- and natural-processed coffees as needed to maintain its berry-sweet character. Currently we're using coffees from Honduras, Peru, and Ethiopia.
Be sure to include these exceptional coffees on your Christmas gift list!

Cities need more than a 'back to work' campaign
Ben Lowndes	Government, Homes, Places	 31/08/2020 24/12/2020 5 Minutes
One of my saddest moments from the last six months came when I left our office in Bristol for the last time before lockdown started. *
It was 19 March and news broke that all but 'essential' travel for work was discouraged. Full lockdown was four days away, but we decided at Social to work from home until further notice from that point. Although we were used to flexible working, vacating our offices en masse took things to a different level.
On the bus home from Bristol, my head was spinning with questions. How are our clients coping? Would any of them leave us? What would happen if they did? When would we see the office or colleagues again? After all our work over the previous two-and-a-half years to build a viable business, this felt wounding and deeply unfair. Swapping WhatsApp messages with colleagues, sitting on the top deck, I felt alone.
That week, I spoke with each member of the Bristol team and felt that while there was a chance of getting through this, we had to dig in and work for that outcome. And that's what we did.
We've kept most clients and found new work. We've moved into new areas, helping clients engage communities, manage issues and grow. We've grown and created new jobs. This week, a new starter joins my team. We've done all of this from home, having left our office in the summer.
When I think of how I felt on the way home in March, what's happened since feels incredible. For me, it's been a steep learning curve. It's been physically and emotionally draining. Above all, it's been hard work.
This is my personal backdrop to recent stories about the emerging narrative to persuade people to get 'back to work' in a bid to save city centres.
Working from home = work
It maddens me that Ministers and the media speak about returning to the office in such terms after how people responded to recent challenges.
For anyone who hasn't seen it – and if you follow me on Twitter you may have done: the government is said be to embarking on a campaign to get staff to return to offices after forcing them to work from home for months. A version of this story ran across the The Telegraph's front page at the weekend under the headline: 'Go back to work or risk losing your job'.
'Go back to work'. If you've been flat out for the last six months, juggling professional, family and caring responsibilities, just let that sink in. Not 'back to the office'. Back to work. I'm struggling to make sense of my colleagues' time sheets if they've not been 'at work' for the last few months. What have they been doing? How has our business stayed open? Why am I so knackered?!
I'm an avid supporter of flexible working, but I'm not one of those who thinks that office life has had its day. The last six months have brought home what I miss about the office when I'm at home. I miss my team. I miss my clients. I miss the sense of community and collaboration. I miss the opportunity to spark ideas and learn from those around me. I am also deeply concerned about the future of towns and cities (and have been since long before lockdown happened).
Impact of COVID in Wells in March this year
But one thing I haven't missed is 'work'. I don't need an office to do that. I've not worked harder at any point in the last 20 years.
The notion that 'work' is best done in an office has been debunked many millions of times over since lockdown started. So much so that major employers like Capita are closing their offices while others show no sign of returning in significant numbers, at least for the time being.
I don't want to debate whether home or office working is better. I like both and want the option to choose either. But I'm struggling to understand why the phrase 'back to work' is being thrown around when so many of us have worked our arses off since the government told us to leave our offices.
New normal, or more of the same?
It seems the government was briefed recently on the impact of working from home – on city centres, spending in cafes and shops, business closures and lost jobs – and has been spooked into action. Or, at least, it wants to be seen to act, as Isabel Hardman wrote in response to The Telegraph piece.
This is understandable, but it highlights another gap in the 'back to work' narrative: a desperate lack of imagination – or even a desire to think – about what our towns and cities could be. This seems especially true for places that aren't London.
We urgently need to find the space to rethink our town and city centres, to help them adapt and become better places for people who want to live and work there. Locally, these conversations are happening. Nationally, we see little beyond gimmickry and headline grabbing.
In Bristol last week, we hosted a webinar with my former colleague Colin Molton, which considered questions about the future of workplaces, towns and cities. The conversation was thoughtful and generated intelligent perspectives from people who are working to help places adapt to change. The 38-minute discussion is captured below and you can register to catch up here.
Webinar: Social speaks with Colin Molton, 27 August 2020 (sign up to watch recording).
These conversations feed into questions about how we can intelligently support businesses and create work spaces which are more than just places to park yourself for eight hours. Answers to these questions are not entirely clear. Finding the right solutions will be painstaking work. There is no 'fast track' to brilliant places, whatever Ministers say. We certainly won't find them by laying responsibility for their future at office workers' doors.
And we won't begin to address the challenge of reinventing towns and cities with a campaign that presses people to get 'back to work'.
Walking our own path
I'm excited to be heading into Bristol tomorrow to welcome our new colleague to the team and look at new office space in the afternoon. It's a big step forward from the last time I used a bus in March. I'm looking forward to going into Bristol more often, although it won't be every day. I've got too much 'work' to do to justify the daily commute.
When we get a new office, I want it to be somewhere that brings us together and inspires us. It will be part of a culture that sees us work from anywhere, if that's what's best. We will work this out in a way, and at a pace, that suits us.
Ministers have no business in telling us how to do that. I'd rather they worked with councils and stakeholders to create the conditions that enable cities to adapt to these changes, rather than clinging to a broken model and hectoring people to prop it up.
If we want our cities to be cleaner, more productive and successful, a 'back to work' campaign has no part to play in that transition.
* There have been much sadder times over recent weeks, which have put this into perspective. Others have talked about these far better than I could have done.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is the fifth Panasonic stills camera to offer 4K video and photo shooting, following in the footsteps of the GH4, LX100, FZ1000 and CM1 models. "Introducing 4k to everyone" is the marketing angle that Panasonic are taking with the G7, and we'd agree that this DSLR-like, mid-range compact system camera is the best suited of all those products to expand the appeal of 4K to a wider audience, especially as it now offers additional 4K photo modes.
Even if you're not onboard the 4K train, the DMC-G7 is still a very appealing mirrorless camera, once again offering a lot of features and performance at an attractive price, although it lacks the more characteristic retro styling of the Olympus PEN range or the Fujifilm X-series.
With a more angular design than its predecessor, the DMC-G7 again falls into the mini-DSLR category of compact system cameras, complete with an excellent electronic viewfinder, LCD screen, and both a pop-up flash and a hotshoe. The addition of the drive mode dial and not one, but two control dials all help to improve the DMC-G7's credentials as an affordable camera for enthusiasts that delivers a lot of bang for your buck.
Image quality has also been improved since from the previous DMC-G6 (as this new model uses the same sensor as the excellent DMC-GX7), in particular moving things on in the ISO stakes. Images shot at ISO 100-1600 are clean, with a little noise appearing at 3200 and more at the still very usable setting of 6400. ISO 12,800 is best reserved for resizing and smaller prints, while the top speed of 25,600 is really only for emergency use, but overall the G7 offers outstanding still image quality for a Micro Four Thirds camera.
Coming across like a mini-GH4, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 is a great addition to the Lumix CSC range, offering 4K video recording and useful 4K/8 megapixel still modes at a price-point that only the similar Samsung NX500 can match.


Hello Helloooo there everybadehhhh ! I am back from Sundown Ultra Marathon in 1 piece. In fact I was back in KL on Sunday after the race and back to work on Monday . Its Thursday already and I don't want my 100km journey to expire on the stale bread rack. So here's the low down. I ran a freaking 100km – my maiden road ultra-marathon last Saturday (and Sunday) in Singapore. Start and end venue was at Marina Barrage. A beautiful reservoir which surrounding is bustling with various activities i.e. rowing, construction, etc. The ultra journey started on Thursday when I decided to take leave – physio appointment, had to pick up jersey from printer and pack for Singapore. Left KL on Friday morning – a good idea as I know I would tire myself out if I flew in on Saturday. I had started carbo-loading 4-5 days before the event *or should I say a week ?!* so the nutrition part was not an issue I was really concerned about. But for the race itself, I made a thorough nutrition analysis of what should be taken, and when.
Come Saturday, I was all excited already. Slowly packed my barang-barang (meaning things) into separate bags – a) special need bag supplied by the organizer. this bag is to be placed at the 50km pit stop. b) my pre/post-race bag (my change of clothes, slipper etc) c) race gears – all the things i need during the race/race start i.e. Vaseline, Salonpas spray, FuelBelt etc. – yes, my phone was part of my race gear as well ! Took a cab to the start line which was 6km away. No way I was going to walk/run to Marina Barrage with all my stuff, though I know that my ultra/IM friend mr Paul Lee did walk/run to the start line. I reached Marina Barrage at 5pm. Race starts at 6pm. The next time if I am going to do this event – i have to make sure i reach the event venue earlier — give me buffer time to relax and sort myself out before the start ! It was hot and sunny. Plenty of people walking about, runners catching up, yadda yadda.. and it wasn't long before the MC announced runners are all welcome to go to the start line. I wasn't thinking of anything..just the excitement of starting the journey. I know its not one of those events where I can 'relax' sebelum race..
We were flagged of exactly at 6pm. I saw Naidu, Fathi Junaidi of Brunei, Adeline Lee my IM buddy, Agnes Yes, adik Victor !, Karen Ang, Farid Elias and many more. My target is to run a reasonable pace –> that means slow pace lah that can last me the century run, and to stop every 10km for a sip of drink or cool myself down. 50km will be the stop for a longer breather, change socks etc. I plan to do it 10km at a time, and not to get too overwhelmed with the fact that I WILL finish what I came here for. I was asked many times what is my target for the Sundown Ultra Marathon. The ultimate aim (as this is my first time) is to finish the race within cut-off without no injuries.
I did not rely on gps, Garmin or any foot pod to pace myself – I didn't use these gadgets for my training. I let my leg do the work and pacing. My split timing was done every 10km. I guess I did okay for the first 50km, making it before the cut off. Take a look at the table below. Will explain further after this.
Planned – 1hr 20mins. Actual time – 1hr 13mins (+7mins). It was still broad day light. Sunny Singapore – Should have braced the sunlight more. The first 10km was a breeze, as breezy as the wind blowing from the sea. Made sure I didn't follow others' pace. Rayzeef overtook me as I was nearing the first water stop. East Coast Park was bustling with activities. Nice.
Planned – 2hr 40mins. Actual time – 2hrs 21mins (+19mins). Started to get dark after the 10km mark, and darker as I run towards the 20km mark. My first loo stop was somewhere between the 10km and 20km mark. Remember to go to the loo every time you need to or you'll end up wasting more energy for that sphincter ! Lucky thing there were plenty of public toilets around the route. And they were generally much cleaner than uhm, the ones we have here in Malaysia. Most importantly these public toilets are not locked ! Free some more! I started recording my time for every 2km at the 14km point. There were markers every 2km at Sundown Ultra.
Resting at the 30km mark. Revising biochemistry notes? haha.. no lah !
Reached the 30km water station on time, well almost. Rested around 6mins , laid down and checked out my nutrition table. Powerbar Performance gel – every 10km. Salt table every hour. Did not feel tired at the 30km point as I was running at a slow pace. Saw many people at the 30km point. Another 20km before the half-way point. 6 minutes up, and off I went !
From the 30km to 40km point :- A lot of supporters at the street sides, bus stops and junctions. Good enough to lift up the near midnight mood. I didn't feel sleep. A good sign. In fact a lady commented ( I heard) that I still look fresh. I understood that I am not even at the 50km mark YET, and that the ball starts rolling on after that 50km point. Reached the 40km point quarter to midnight. I was still high in spirit, there was no pain anywhere on the muscles and joints, yet I am still anticipating them. 'They' will come anytime. Not that I am asking. I just gotta be ready.
Planned – 8hrs. Actual time – 7hrs 21mins (+39mins). Rest time : 24mins.
I reached the 50km point around 1.30am in the morning. Quickly swallowed a caffeine table to make sure I don't sleep walk even though sure kena zombie punya. I took my time to go to the loo, grab a banana, some solid to makan, 1/2 of the Powerbar Performance bar. I laid down on the, lifted my legs, tried to ease myself. It has been 7 hours plus of running and I better get a grip of myself to face the next 50km. I wasn't thinking of anything else but to continue the run as planned. Well, not that my plans are carefully laid out. Just general pointers to keep my head objective. I even brought my foam roller ( I put in the special need bag) but tak guna pon. All are there for standby.
All the sumi jelly and chocolate tak makan pon as my gaster bag and g.i. are pack already. I had to force myself to makan(eat) some bread. Tu pon nak telan sedikit punya payah (meaning hard to swallow). I continued my journey feeling fresh. I saw Kash and another pakcik(uncle/elderly man) on the other side heading to the 50km point as I journeyed on to the next water station. I saw 2 guys laughing to the fact that they are slower than the pakcik ahead of them. I know there are plenty more pakcik and makcik ahead of me. In any endurance race its not about who's younger and fitter. It's about how well you can adapt to the racing condition and maintain that mental strength throughout. Planning your breaks well is important too (later I learned !).
The journey to 60km was interesting as much as it began to feel as though the 2km gap between the markers have stretched further and further. I think my mistake started right here en route to 60km. As you can see above the '+15mins' meaning I reached the 60km point 15mins faster than planned. I should and could have slowed down a little bit more. The first 50km was ran. The next 50km I planned to run and walk. I time a 3mins:1 mins walk:run kinda routine. There was no way I can run all the way ! Not this time, especially Sundown Ultra 2011 being my first real ultra event. Anyways..I continued recording my time every 2km.
Planned – 11hrs. Actual time – 11hrs 4mins (-4mins).
hamstring was so tight I couldn't extend my right leg. But it wasn't severe.
70km done. 30 to go.
Cold? Hot? It was cold in there !!!
Yes, hypothermia. There was nothing much I can do as there was no where I can grab a hot drink, or warm blanket. I reached the 80km mark around 6.30am and around 82km the sun was already up as I passed a park. It was sunny alright, but I didn't feel the heat. In fact I was shivering. I told myself, this cannot continue as I am only endangering myself – I quickly asked for my supporter's t-shirt. I wore it over my Zoot tri-top and picked up the pace. Even with a double layer, I still felt cold every time the morning sea breeze blew. Gila ahhh ! So there, a new learning experience for me. It wasn't on my check list nor was it on my caution list – what's worst to expect. Oh yes, the cut off to 90km mark is 16hours. It was a good thing Mohan Marathon passed me near the 80km point asking me to get my focus back. Yeah, with my mental condition which was not physiologically normal due to the decreased core temperature – I had to get that kind of support. Passing the 90km point was such a joy. And I know, like for sure, the next 10km will be the longest journey I will be taking.
My last 10km journey started at 9.28am, and hour and a half behind 'schedule'. I wasn't complaining. I just had to make sure I meet the cut off. I just needed a little push. I didn't see many people between the 90km-95km mark along East Coast Park. I am sure those behind me are close behind, and those ahead of me are running strong, and maintaining it that way. I was walking and running where and when I can. After the East Coast Park stretch, we had to cross the road, go down the subway, up the pedestrian bridge, down the stairs, pass the reservoir.. dayemm.. I was getting slower and slower even though my body temperature had risen a bit. It was getting hotter and sunnier as more and more people started to overtake me.
What was my pace like ? Let me check kat my phone..kejap….hahaha…just had a good laugh to myself..memang slow.. 90km-92km = 22mins, 94km-96km = 29mins (mak aiiih).., 96km-98km= 27mins, 98km-100km (including ambil 3mins ambil gambar stop)= 31mins. I must say between the 96km to 98km, sooo many people overtook me. At the 98km I stopped for a couple minutes for some photos with Agnes and the gang. I kept on moving but very slow… Even the last 1km was walked. But how on earth I found the legs that last 500m is a question i can't answer. I ran all the way cross the bridge, down the slope, then up the slope again all the way to the finish line overtaking 3-4 runners. Crossed the finishing line smiling with joy.(and in tears?!) Yes !!!! Agnes cried at the 98km mark I told her it was 'too early' to cry.. haha.. and everybody just laughed. Dayemmm what a journey.
Previous Sundown – Done !
Amazing feat, excellent write up and great tips on target pace management.
Despite the bloody conditions you made it through the finish line, Bravo!
Silent bloody battle.hahhaa…garang? cait!!! hahahaa..ampun ler. tak peghasan pongg…anyways, u were consistent on the run. congrats to you jugak and thank you sentiasa kasi support masa run tuh. 🙂 dah recover dah ?!

TQ Chan 🙂 I appreciate your support !

TQ Diane. I have to knock-knock my head and realize it was a 100km I ran last week. I think I can imagine running another ultra after this but have to really2 prepare. the running part may take less than 18hours but the training , we gotta put lots commitment in there.. the time , etc. Thank you for the support Diane. 🙂 God Bless. I hope to finish collecting the donation by 9 July.
TQ Uncle Allen 🙂 Thank you.
Tahniah!!..betul2 la kau ni julie,apa pun yg penting semuanya selamat,mimang buli ba kalau kau :p.
Congrats kak julie… once again you've proved, impossible is nothing n you can pretty much do ANYTHING, no matter what… We all are proud of you kak, indeed !!
Reading your report makes me want to go out and run 100 km also! But since I cannot (yet), buat masa ni I just donate to japan je ya. Such happy coincidence seeing you at FRIM today. Anyway, a BIG congrats on your first ultra!


This is a great time for us as we celebrate our Savior's birth and our greatest year ever! All is well in the Kennedy clan ... and the greatest news of all is Jesus is Lord... today and forever!
....with Vermont, Alabama and Florida in-between.
Kayaking open ocean, camping on abandoned islands, flying to native villages, watching eagles and other wildlife, .... definitely a repeat destination!
We bought James' hide-a-way home on the Hillabee Outback in the mountains near the Talladega National Forest. He moved back to New England (Newburyport, Mass) to be near old friends and start a new career as the American editor of an international Sports Medicine journal. He expects to finish his doctorate in Sports Medicine this year. Betty and I really enjoy just hanging out in the woods there.
Kym and family joined us in our Dolphin 35' RV this summer as we made our way through the Pennsylvania Dutch country and the Adirondacks to our camp in Vermont. Vermont was great! We hadn't been there for a few years so was good to swim in the river, bird-watch, cook on an open wood fire, drink our own clear, pure, cold spring water. Ah, the simple life; Terry didn't shave and Betty picked all the berries and grapes she wanted.. and took long walks in the woods with Blue, James' wonderful dog who spent the summer with us.
Shelly and family are well and live close by. We have missed them, especially granddaughter Maeve. They grow up much too soon. Ron and family have moved back to the US after a number of successful years in Europe. They live on a ranch in Mt Vernon, Wash with grandchildren Alyse and Ryan.
It has been a wonderful 70th for Terry.. lots of adventure and best of all, the most togetherness we've had in our 43 years of family life.

The fuselage of TJ118 has recently been acquired by the Mosquito Aircraft Museum. The museum also holds the nose of TJ118, which was removed from the fuselage in the early 1960's and sectioned for use in the interior cockpit scenes of 633 Squadron. The sectioned nose was also used in the cockpit scenes of Mosquito Squadron.
Although originally laid down as a B.35, the museum plans to restore the airframe as a PR.XVI.
I have still not seen the nose section of TJ118 (hint!), however I have now received some images of the nose from Robert Rushton.

Australian man first to be charged under new laws for possessing child-like sex doll
• Source: AAP
A South Australian man has become the first person to be charged for possessing a child-like sex doll under new laws which came into force in 2019.
Courtroom Source: istock.com
It is alleged the 30-year-old from the state's southeast also bought a range of children's clothes including schools uniforms, swimwear and underwear.
During a raid on his home on Tuesday, police seized the anatomically-correct doll and clothing, along with a computer, mobile phone and bank card.
The man was charged with possessing a child-like sex doll, importing the doll and possessing child abuse material accessed using a carriage service.
His arrest followed a two-month investigation by the SA Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team, with intelligence from NSW police, Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) and PayPal Australia.
The man bought the doll from China in December 2018, police say.
He is facing a jail term of up to 15 years, after the South Australian and federal governments both banned the lifelike dolls last year.
AFP Acting Commander South Australia Gail McClure said the dolls objectified children and could desensitise buyers to the harm caused by sexual abuse.
"Some dolls are even robotic and designed to respond positively to the abuse," she said.
"The Australian Federal Police does not condone any form of child exploitation, or activity of any kind that reinforces the sexualisation of children.
"This includes sexual gratification activity using items depicting children - these anatomically correct dolls are legally considered child exploitation material."
Research from the Australian Institute of Criminology found that use of the dolls may lead to an escalation in sex offending against children.
The man was granted bail and is expected to face Naracoorte Magistrates Court in March.

The Russian envoy to the UN claimed that 80 percent of Rukban's residents wanted to return to regime-controlled Syria, despite not a singly person leaving the camp.
Syrian refugees, IDPs, Rukban, border, UNICEF, aid, convoy, Syrian war.
Russia has urged the immediate evacuation of Syrian IDPs from the isolated and disaster-struck Rukban camp on the Syria-Jordan border, despite residents' misgivings about returning to areas under Syrian regime control.
The Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that planning humanitarian convoys was a waste of time, according to official Russian news agency TASS.
The camp has been left destitute after going for over three months without vital aid deliveries, due to its isolated desert location, weather disruption and the security situation in southwestern Syria.
"We suggest a way out of the existing situation and a stable solution to the Rukban problem," Nebenzya said. "This is evacuation from the camp of all those who want this to the regions that they themselves choose," he added.
"This idea must begin to be implemented in short order, without wasting time on planning new convoys that only highlight disregard for international humanitarian law in that part of Syria," the envoy added.
Russia on Monday Russia threatened to block aid to the camp and force men into the army unless refugees leave the area.
Nebenzya also alleged that a survey carried out by UN officers in the camp showed that 95 percent of its inhabitants wanted to leave, and that 80 percent wanted to return to areas under Syrian regime control.
Despite this, when Russia opened up two "humanitarian corridors" to transport refugees back to Syria last week, not a single person used them.
The civilians fear arrest, torture and even death if they were to enter regime-held territory through the corridors.
"Not a single civilian has moved towards the corridors, because of the uncertainty of their destination after exiting the corridors," the Civil Administration of the Rukban Camp announced on Wednesday in a Facebook post.
The Russian Ministry of Defence claim the corridors were an opportunity for civilians to "voluntarily, unimpededly and safely" leave the camp.
The camp is located inside a "deconfliction zone" set up by the US-led international coalition in 2016, which Washington saw as a strategic foothold while it launched an offensive against the Islamic State, as well as being close to the Iranian weapons supply route entering Syria from Iraq.
However following the announcement that the US is to fully withdraw from Syria, Rukban's residents are wary of the consequences, with only fighters allied to the Free Syrian Army protecting them.
Around 50,000 civilians live in the remote camp, most of them internally displaced people (IDPs) from Homs, Deir az-Zour, and Deraa. Some 80 percent of the residents are women and children.
UNICEF urged the severity of the humanitarian situation in Rukban on Wednesday, pointing to the number of child deaths so far this year.
"Despite repeated warnings, the deaths of children in Rukban, at the southwestern border of Syria with Jordan, continue to increase at an alarming rate. Since the beginning of the year, one child has died every five days," the organisation stated in a press release.
"One month ago, UNICEF warned that freezing temperatures and lack of healthcare were putting the lives of children in Rukban at extreme risk.
Since then, eight more children under five-years-old have died and eight more mothers have had to suffer the inconsolable grief of losing a child for no reason other than a lack of healthcare – something taken for granted in most of the world," it added, calling for durable solutions for the crisis.

Diagnostic – Are the tests producing misleading results?
Therapeutic – Will any of the considered treatments produce side effects, or will the particular surgery result in possible complications?
Prognostic – What will happen to the patient if his or her condition is left untreated?
Other kinds of considerations also need to be taken into account, such as the patient's or his family's feelings, thoughts and/or values.

Eileen Hershman and Terrence Norko of Upper Darby School District rolled out an HP StorageWorks Modular Smar Array to create personal network storage space for students and staffers.
Upper Darby School District's network optimization project saves money and resources.
Earlier this year, when an Upper Darby School District high school student failed to show up for one of her morning classes, her mother, miles away in the privacy of her home, knew it immediately. It was neither a psychic vision nor maternal instinct that led to the discovery; rather, it was a new online student management system that delivers real-time attendance, assignment status and grades that notified the mother of her truant child.
Parents in the Pennsylvania district, located just west of Philadelphia, are able to ascertain details about their child's whereabouts and academic performance (and take corrective action when needed) with the simple click of a mouse. Indeed, just minutes after the mother sent her daughter a text message, she received confirmation on the computer that the student had returned to class.
The innovative new student management system is among a plethora of technological enhancements made possible by the district's recent network overhaul. Currently executing the second of the project's three phases, Upper Darby is now poised to capitalize on the numerous benefits afforded by the upgrade, which is centered on virtualization and optimization.
This wasn't always the case. Prior to the deployment of the project's initial phase last summer, Upper Darby was struggling to meet the education technology goals outlined within its strategic plan.
"We realized that we needed to re-examine our core infrastructure and how we could best deliver what the district needs in regard to technology," explains Eileen Hershman, educational research and technology coordinator and leader of the network upgrade project.
Outdated equipment was also taking a toll on the overburdened network. "The age of the hardware was a major issue," confirms Terrence Norko, supervisor of network operations for the district. Another threat to network reliability, he says, was the absence of a backup power supply.
Bolstering its infrastructure was just the first step. Upper Darby also sought to establish districtwide wireless access, as well as provide students and staff with continuous access to files through network storage and single-user sign on.
The implementation of server virtualization proved to be an ideal vehicle to propel the district onto the fast track of attaining its technology goals. Using the VMware platform, Upper Darby not only consolidated the loads of 16 servers onto just five physical servers, but the district also averted having to purchase 12 additional servers that would have been required to accommodate other strategic objectives.
As part of the network reconstruction, the district also augmented its power supply, installed new wiring, recabled buildings and upgraded all core network switches. All of these measures have paved the way for the final phase of the project (slated for completion this summer), which will facilitate campuswide wireless-network access, full server and network redundancy, and complete support of low-cost thin-client workstations.
Although the $400,000 project is ongoing, Upper Darby School District is already enjoying vastly improved network management and security, as well as the reassurance of having a solid disaster recovery plan in place. The solution has also resulted in a reduction in energy and maintenance costs, as well as significantly eased IT administration management, time and support.
Upper Darby is among a growing number of K–12 school districts that are reaping the rewards of virtualization and optimization. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Citrix Systems found that K–12 education technology leaders view virtualization solutions as a viable way to deliver applications and resources to students while reducing IT costs – benefits that Upper Darby School District can attest to firsthand.
"We can now take on new applications without buying additional servers or being burdened by the power consumption that new servers would require," Hershman explains, emphasizing the solution's exceptional return on investment.
Lynda Stadtmueller, senior research analyst for Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan, agrees that virtualization is highly suited to the K–12 market. Because multiple virtualized applications share a single physical server, resources can be better utilized, she points out. Virtualization also enables districts to defer new server purchases and invest in higher-capacity servers that are more energy efficient.
Upper Darby's technology makeover continued with the deployment of 175 HP t5145 thin clients within the high school's classrooms, labs and library, with more thin clients planned for the middle school.
"By utilizing client computing – versus $1,100-a-piece laptops – we're cutting our future replacement costs in half," Hershman reports.
To complement the partnership of virtualization and thin clients, the district also implemented an HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array with 60 storage enclosures, which facilitated the allocation of personal network storage space for every middle and high school student, as well as all staff members.
Not only is the solution enhancing the learning process, but for some Upper Darby students, it is their only exposure to technology. Nearly 50 percent of the district's students receive free or reduced-price lunches through the USDA's National School Lunch Program, and seven schools receive Title I schoolwide services.
"For many of our families, this is the only technology experience they will have," Hershman says, noting that one school within the district has an 86 percent poverty rate.
Furthermore, optimization has bolstered productivity and reduced the need for additional district IT staffing resources. Because new machines can be commissioned in minutes, virtualization drastically reduces the time it takes to launch a new application or supplement capacity, notes Stratecast's Stadtmueller.
The technology also provides the flexibility for IT administrators to quickly and easily reallocate server resources as traffic and other needs change, she says.
"This makes a district more responsive to changing curricula and improves the ability to respond to current events and opportunities," Stadtmueller reports.
"The morale of the staff has improved considerably," adds DeVlieger, noting that in the past, the lag time to complete repairs on the aging technology often led to frustration.
The district's network headaches have been further eased thanks to the installation of an APC InfraStruXure security and environmental monitoring device.
In addition to delivering continuous clean power to all connected equipment, InfraStruXure monitors an extensive range of items within the equipment room, including smoke detection, leak detection, motion sensors, door sensors, air flow, server temperature, power consumption and overall temperature and humidity. In the event of any anomaly, an IT administrator is immediately notified via e-mail.
Perhaps the greatest benefit that virtualization and optimization have provided to Upper Darby is the ability for the district to essentially future-proof its technology.
For example, administrators are considering desktop virtualization "It is something we are exploring, as we are now aligned to implement such a solution," Norko says.
"It's been very exciting to watch," adds DeVlieger, commenting on the abundant advantages achieved throughout the network transformation.
For other districts considering optimization, Upper Darby administrators have compiled an effective "cheat sheet." First and foremost, says Wigo, it is crucial to have an overall plan on which all stakeholders agree.
It's equally important to designate a project manager and support team capable of executing the venture from concept to completion. "You have to bring on the right people who can develop this vision," DeVlieger emphasizes.
By navigating numerous tight deadlines for paperwork completion, product delivery and equipment installation, the CDW•G team helped ensure a seamless execution.
This maturing technology may be perfectly suited for K–12 environments.
The ever-growing demand to do more with less is forcing schools to explore new ways of getting the most out of their IT infrastructure. One technology garnering high scores is desktop virtualization, which uses a client-server model that separates multiple users' desktops from local storage on their physical machines, storing them instead on a remote central server. This allows users to access their desktops on any capable device, such as a traditional desktop computer, notebook or thin client.
Lynda Stadtmueller, senior research analyst for Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan, says desktop virtualization is ideal for the K–12 environment, in which computers tend to be a shared resource and reside in a permanent location such as a classroom or library.
Another key benefit of desktop virtualization is that it addresses the challenges many schools face when trying to integrate computer hardware that often consists of a variety of brands, operating systems and processing capacity. "All of which leads to a very messy and uncontrolled IT environment that pretty much goes away when virtualized desktop applications are introduced," Stadtmueller points out.

Q: Android build doesn't update code base or resources for target .apk on device I have an android project to make a simple game that was proceeding normally, until a teammate decided to swap out an audio clip.  I put the new .ogg file in the /res/raw folder and updated  all references in the program to point to the new file.  Rebuilding the program and installing it, the program still uses the old sound.  This is true for multiple devices as well as virtual ones.
Since then, no change I have made to the code base has made any change to the program that gets installed.
Even when I delete the application from the device completely, and rebuild, nothing changes.
The old audio file itself has been completely been deleted from my computer, but every time I rebuild and install, the old file plays.
Where is this cached copy being stored, and how do I delete it?

MLA web resources -- Several of these online guides, though helpful, nevertheless vary in terms of how they cite sources. Please keep this in mind while consulting these other online guides.
MLA Lite for Research Papers Includes images of appendices, charts, figures and many other aspects of a paper.
MLA Formatting and Style Guide from Purdue University. Includes a sample paper and many examples.
FAQ page on the MLA site that includes helpful citation information and minor corrections to the Handbook.
The MLA citation style is generally used in the humanities (English, Philosophy, Music etc.).
MLA requires that the entire paper be double-spaced, including all the lines in the list of works cited (4.2, 5.3.2).
All pages of the paper, including the list of works cited, need to be numbered consecutively and must appear in the top right-hand corner of the page after your last name (4.4, 5.3.2).
Spelling. Use a standard English language dictionary, such as Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary [print] or Canadian Oxford Dictionary [print].
If you directly quote from, summarize or use the ideas or arguments from a book or article, then list the author's last name, followed by a space and the page number without any other punctuation (i.e., no commas) (6.1).
If you incorporate the author's name in the text of your paper, only provide the page number in parentheses (6.3).
Many electronic sources do not provide page numbers. Sometimes the source will have paragraph numbers that you can use for your parenthetical citation. Use the abbreviation "par." for a single paragraph or "pars." for multiple paragraphs. Don't count paragraphs yourself if they are not indicated on the document (6.4.2).
If there are no page or paragraph numbers, the MLA guide recommends that you incorporate the name of the author in the text of your paper. (e.g., Mitchell argues that there is a link between soda consumption and obesity). You may indicate in your paper an approximate location of the cited passage (e.g., In the final third of his article, Mitchell argues there is a link between soda consumption and obesity) (6.4.1-2).
If you cite multiple works by the same author, place a comma after the author's last name in the parenthetical (in-text) citation and add the title (in full or a shortened version if it is long) and the relevant page reference, e.g., (Foucault, History of Madness 125) (6.4.6).
At the end of your paper, you will list all your sources on a separate page entitled Works Cited (5.3.2).
The works cited list is arranged alphabetically by the author's last name. If there is no author, use the title of the source (5.3.3).
The works cited list is double-spaced throughout, both between and within entries. If a citation is more than one line, the second line is indented by 1.25 cm (0.5 inches) (5.3.2).
Use the format of the author's name as it appears on the title page of a work (e.g. "Mooney, Jayne," or "Danto, Arthur C.," or "Gibaldi, M. C.") (5.5.2).
The publisher's name can be shortened (e.g. "Allen," instead of "Allen & Unwin") (5.5.2, 7.5).
If more than one city of publication is listed in the book you are citing, use the first one listed (5.5.2).
If you do not know the date of publication, use the abbreviation "n.d." (5.5.24).
If you do not know the place of publication or the publisher use the abbreviation "n.p." (5.5.24).
Each entry of the works cited list contains the medium of publication consulted. This could be print (for print articles, books, and similar materials), web (for online content, including websites and information from databases such as Academic Search Premier and CBCA Complete), film, DVD, CD-ROM, MP3 file or other descriptive type. For information on the naming a medium of publication, consult the MLA Handbook, chapter 5 in the section that discusses your publication type.
Caughie examines the confusion surrounding definitions of modernism in the humanities and social sciences (1).
Publisher's name can be shortened, e.g. "Allen," instead of "Allen & Unwin" (7.5).
Plays, poetry and some other types of literature have their own set of citation rules (see MLA Handbook: 6.4.8).
Include the word "Print" at the end of your entry, describing that the medium of the book is print (5.5.1).
If you are citing a work without page numbers, it is preferable to include the author's name and work in your essay instead of in a parenthetical reference (6.4.1).

In the list of works cited, alphabetize anonymous works by title (5.3.3).
Spell out "and" between their names.
The first author's name should be written in the inverse (e.g. Unsworth, Len).
If the book has a compiler instead of an editor, write "Comp." instead of "Ed." (5.3.4).
When citing an online book, include the same publication details as when citing a print book. In addition, include in italics the title of the database or the website where the book was retrieved, the medium of publication ("Web") and the date of acess (day/month/year) (5.6.2c).

In his discussion of the evolution and nature of the fossil record, Professor Dunlop emphasized. . . .
When citing an oral presentation, like a class lecture, give the speaker's name, the title of the presentation in quotation marks, if known, the name of the sponsoring organization, the location and the date.
Provide a descriptive label (Address, Lecture, Keynote speech, Reading) to indicate the type of presentation after the date.
If you are citing a class lecture, provide the lecture title in quotation marks after the professor's name, the course name and course number after the lecture title and add the word "Class lecture" after the date.
If your class lecture does not have a title, provide the course name and course number after the professor's name and write "Class lecture" (without quotation marks) after the date.
When including a table in your paper, label and number the table (e.g. Table 1, Table 2) and provide a title for the table that is descriptive of the table's content. Include the source of the table in a caption.
Put publication information and page numbers for books in parentheses - (location: publisher, year; print; #).
If you need to cite a source from a Custom Courseware package, here are two suggestions. However, our strong recommendation is to first check with your instructor.
1. Find the full citation where the article, chapter, etc. was originally published, and cite accordingly. The full citations may be included on the first page of the coursepack. If not, search a relevant database or the library catalogue, or ask a librarian.
2. Treat the Courseware package as an anthology, and the instructor who did the compilation as a book editor/compiler. Therefore, treat the article, chapter, etc. as if it was part of an anthology, or edited book. Most probably you will not have the page numbers, since the Custom Courseware is not a true publication and is not paginated throughout. You will also have to include the name of the compiler, the title of the Courseware, the name of the course (e.g. CMNS 210), the semester (e.g. Spring 2006) and the publisher ( Simon Fraser University). Bear in mind that someone trying to find the article/chapter from a coursepack you cited might not have access to the same coursepack.

Sôgmô Replies to Espionage Charges
Ave, Sandum Citizens!
I wish I could write this under less pressing circumstances and something related to our state. However, that can not be so. This government has been mentioned as illegally interfering in the internal affairs of another government, an action which is much despised by this state and government. This government did not illegally interfere with the affairs of Zealandia nor did it interfere in a government we do not recognise. However, we did have a "man" on the ground, me, and we were investigating and gathering information on the state.
However, and perhaps most damning to the Zealandian Times' criticism of this government, this government was asked to become involved in a situation that we were concerned about, as that concern was warranted by M. Puchowski and M. van der Hoeven. We were asked to become involved in Zealandia by a few of its citizens: Mssrs. Thomson, Puglisi and van der Hoeven. Seeing that this government has a policy of becoming involved in a case of a state where this government has been concerned over previously in course by the invitation to become involved given by its own citizens, we honoured the request. The idea of putting "boots" on the ground was M. van der Hoeven's; however, I could not do so as the Sôgmô, as this government does not recognise Zealandia's government. Then, I came across the idea of going in under-cover, which is espionage. Let me say, it was difficult and rather unnerving to me to be "under-cover", as it were. All the while, I maintained communication with those who asked me to be there.
However, last night, it became apparent that one which we had trusted had, well… "ratted" us out to the government. I was caught, and I never once lied that M. Morris was indeed me; infact, I changed my name on Skype to "Special Envoy Sörgel".
The most alarming thing is that this government was correct. M. Bayer admitted to wanting to remove certain elements of Zealandia, in order to pass his own legislation. He wanted to destroy the Zealandia as it is today, a Zealandia that this government has seen as being a good prospect. The fact that the aims of their government is to utterly destroy and repress their country led us into the nation in the first place. M. van der Hoeven has been tried, M. Puglisi shall be sentenced in a few days time. However, this government will not give up on the request and petition heard to it from these Zealandian citizens.
This is but a Pyrrhic victory. We have won, but at a cost to the honour and functions of this state. However, there ought to be no doubts that this government would not ever do it again. As previously stated, we became involved when this state's own citizens asked us to, members of their own government even. We heard and honoured the petition; I did my best to advise them and shall still do so. However, we have indeed gained a victory: a referendum shall be given to see if Frederic Bayer shall be indeed removed from Zealandia. Details of this referendum shall be obtained by this government and we hope that this government receives correct and unaltered information, as M. Fowler has come to this government before and had asked for advice on rigging elections.
We have begun a process, but we have not yet removed an awful, repressive man from the face of the politics of Zealandia. We hope and shall honour the invitation to recognise a hopeful-future government of the Zealandian Democratic Front and the Social Democratic Party.
