About the Music
What They Said...
Weddings &
Zazou is a sextet featuring accordion, lead and harmony vocals, string bass, rhythm and lead guitars and percussion. With a repertoire, including original material, inspired by the sophisticated melodies of French Jazz Manouche, Parisian Musette, Latin American popular songs and American Swing Jazz, Zazou draws together a multitude of musical influences and incorporates a driving European "string swing" rhythm to pay homage to the music of the past while creating an original sound that is contemporary and exciting.
In addition to their diverse musical repertoire, Zazou also puts on a entertaining show that encourages audience participation through humor, magic and playful stage banter.
Zazou is a popular Seattle-based group performing numerous venues such as The Pink Door, The Century Ballroom, The Tractor Tavern, Misto, The Sit 'n Spin, The Venus Cafe's Mars Bar, Bizzarro, The Hop Vine, St. Clouds, Conor Byrne Pub, The Experience Music Project's Liquid Lounge and more. Zazou has also made appearances outside of the Seattle area at such venues as Mississippi Pizza, Duff's Garage, St. John's Pub, The Rabbit Hole Lounge (Portland, OR), The Public House (Port Townsend, WA), The Drift Inn (Yachats, OR), Muddy Waters (Arcata, CA), Sam Bonds (Eugene, OR) and The Make Out Room (San Francisco, CA).

Dear Zazou, Thanks so much for being a part of Mt. Baker's first-annual Park Tunes! We truly appreciated your amazing talent and your generosity. Thanks so much for providing the sound system and playing such enchanting music. We love it! Hope the rest of the summer is outstanding. All our best, Susan and EJ
We had a great time dancing at the wedding to your inspiring music. I was doing fine till that fool twirled me so hard I fell to the ground! But I loved y'alls music!!!" Wedding guest Tina Ferguson-Riffe
"Zazou's performance was riveting! Your stage banter presented an endearing mix of stellar musical talent and witty humor. Please accept our personal gratitude. Bastille Day 2004 would not have been possible without your commitment, patience and enthusiasm. We hope to work with you again in the future, and wish you prosperous success in the mean time." - Eva Zemandl (Cultural Liaison) and Jack Cowen (Executive Director) of The French American Chamber of Commerce
"We want to sincerely thank you for making the 2004 Fremont Fair a smashing success! We have gotten so much terrific feedback from the public about the entertainment at this year's Fair! The music- the people- it was marvelous. And we couldn't have done it without you." - Amani Ellen Loutfy (Director of Public Relations at Static Media Arts)
Hello Gang. Janice and I heard you a couple of years ago while in Seattle. We came back the next night, listened again, and picked up your two CDs… By the way, we have you penciled in for our daughter's wedding. She's in Madison, we're in Dallas, and she isn't engaged yet. But, when and where it happens, we intend to give you a ring; I'm serious! Please feel free to post this on your site as we could not more strongly recommend your wonderful music. Regards, Mike and Janice Keeley, Coppell, Texas, USA
"I heard so many positive comments about the music last night--people loved it--I loved it! Zazou was the perfect compliment to last night's event" - Alison MacLean, Seattle Art Museum
"With a CD entitled Djangolotry you'd expect Gypsy-influenced jazz guitar and swinging rhythm. Zazou delivers exactly that with a fun, sophisticated blend of original and cover songs sung in English and French." - Eugene Weekly, Eugene Oregon
"Anyone who knows the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club of France will love Zazou. In fact, the band's latest CD is titled 'Djangolotry'. The album also features drums, harmonica, trumpet and musical saw." - Suislaw News, Oregon Coast
"'Euro Jazz, French Musette and American Swing' is how the band describes its musical mix. I say: The most infectious blend of Django Reinhardt, Latin jazz and Benny Goodman-style swing that I've ever heard. No big band here; just a small one (five-piece) that kicks ass, but smoothly and subtly. Thoroughly sexy and playful, featuring amazing musicians clearly in love with the music, Djangolotry is, simply, magnifique". Christine LaPado, News and Review, Chico California
"Ils sont six, Hugh Sutton, Johnny Calcagno, Jeff Smith, Joseph Mascorella, Ryan Hoffman et Miss Jessica, à réchauffer vos longues soirées d'hiver aux rythmes de la musette, du swing et du jazz manouche. Zazou né de la collision entre la culture française et le muse du groupe, promène sa bonne humeur de bar en bar pour le plus grand plaisir du publique. " – Caroline Planque, European Weekly's Revue du Pacifique, Seattle Washington
Looking to liven up your special shin-dig, festivize your holiday celebrations? Would you like to be the first on the block with a live swing band playing in your living room? Do you visualize your wedding guests swing dancing the evening away? Zazou plays private events of all shapes and sizes.

Steve Jobs & Food
Mandy Baca
| Opinion |
Mandy Baca | October 6, 2011 | 8:55am
Steve Jobs is not normally associated with food. You don't know where he goes to dinner, his favorite coffee shop, or find him on top chefs' lists. Surprisingly, aside from dramatically changing the entertainment and media industries, he's had the greatest effect on the food industry.
Do a Google search of Steve Jobs & food and this is what you'll find: 1. He spent 27 years as a vegan. 2. His obsession with apples dates back to the 80s when he experimented with an all-apple diet. He then named his company Apple. Coincidence? 3. Apple's cafeteria is well stocked with the healthiest treats around, accommodating both vegan and non-vegan eaters alike. That puts Oprah's One-Week Vegan Challenge to shame, no? Maybe we can learn something about food from him alright.
Back to his influence on the food world. There's the Mac, iPhone,
iPod, and iPad, all contributing to the proliferation of instantaneous
information, including information about food.
How many food-related apps do you have on your phone? Here's a few to
refresh your memory: OpenTable, Food Truck Tracker by Burger Beast, Miami Cheap
Eats & Street Food, Yelp, Urbanspoon, Epicurious, Saveur, Bon
Appetit, Tasting Table, The Lucky Peach (this even came out before the
hard print version giving readers with access a sneak peek), Zagat,
Locavore... The list goes on and on, from reservations to directions, reviews and recipes, there's an App for it.
Then, there are Apps like Instagram and Foodspotting that help you get the
images of the food in front of you out ASAP to EVERYONE i.e. texts,
emails, Twitter, Facebook, whatever. You know who you are. Exhibit A: It's not just the Asians that do it anymore. It's
not unusual to see diners taking pictures of every dish at their table
and even at someone else's table. Exhibit B: How many diners live
tweeted from their iPhones during the Friends & Family opening
of Yardbird Southern Table & Bar? Exhibit C: How many people only
watch Top Chef and No Reservations on their iPads or iPods?
And finally, there's the next frontier, and its reaches are boundless. Look
at the exciting change at Shula's Steak House, which recently
launched a national program that gives guests food & wine pairings
based on their preferences on an iPad Tablet.
Hell, food is one of the most popular things around right now. A hot
commodity! The way that people share and communicate about food has in
effect changed the way that we perceive food and the reason why we can
now stalk our favorite chef or why there's an Angry Birds cookbook.

John Beatty Family
Ancestor Story Submitted by Mary Louise Laning Stewart
There are many published stories about JOHN BEATTY of Wexford County, Ireland. He was born in 1774 and emigrated to the United States when he was 22 years of age. In 1796 in Philadelphia, he married MARY COOKE, a girl he had met on shipboard. They then made their home in New London, Connecticut. To this union were born four sons and six daughters. In 1810, he came to the Firelands with Almon Ruggles. He subsequently purchased about 30,000 acres, from Milan to Sandusky Bay, and settled in 1815 in Perkins Township. He was known for his Irish temper; also, for his stand against slavery, for which cause he founded a splinter Methodist church. When he served as postmaster, he could not bring himself to collect postage from patrons who were short of money. An early home is located on Bogart Road just east of State Route 250. Later he lived in Sandusky and served as mayor.
His daughter, SUSAN BEATTY was born in New London, Connecticut, in 1812. In 1838 she married Rev. Osborn Monnett, a Methodist circuit rider. Seven children were born to this couple, but only four survived to adulthood. The family moved to Norwalk in 1869 where her husband died in 1887. Their son William Monnett married Helen Burton. William's daughter Mildred Monnett married Sheldon Laning, the son of Jay F. and Caroline (Sheldon) Laning.

To get rid of wasps you do 'not' need wasp nest removal, but you do need to treat the nest and the nesting wasps.

We provide effective wasp treatments across the Greater Manchester region by qualified, experienced exterminators who offer expert prevention and proofing advice.
Rodent pests have adapted to urban life in the Manchester area with ease.

Have Big Gains for the Dow Transports Left the Station?
CSX shares rose with the rest of the transport index this week even though earnings estimates have slipped.
The Dow Jones Transports Average went bananas from Monday to Thursday of this week, rising more than 6% in four trading sessions, Despite a slight pullback in Friday trading the DJT still posted post a 5.9% gain for the week. The DJT was founded in 1884, pre-dating its cousin the Dow Jones Industrials, and shares the same conceptual flaw, in that it is a price-weighted, equal-weighted index. There's no constructive bias that explains away a 6% weekly gain, though. The transports are simply red-hot, and the question for market-watchers is: are the transport stocks jumping because the market is more optimistic on their prospects, or is the market more optimistic on the transports because the stocks are jumping? Yes, in this top-down ETF world it can be very difficult to separate the chicken from the egg.
I revisited CSX (CSX) in light of this week's action. I went back and re-read a column I wrote on CSX and the other railroad stocks on October 13th. That column was based on a pre-earnings check-up for CSX and the group, and I predicted few fireworks from CSX on their post-earnings conference call with some caution as the company is still reworking its logistics structure. As of October 13th, earnings estimates for CSX were $2.23 and $2.70 for 2017 and 2018, respectively, and as of today, those estimates sit at $2.22 and $2.68. So, as I predicted, earnings were a non-event for CSX, and as of this Monday, CSX shares had fallen about 5% since the column was published.
Then, as if by magic, CSX shares began a stirring run-up Tuesday, It's a sign of the times that a 10% move in a four days in a railroad stock barely registered, but with a $50 billion market cap, it should not be ignored. The market clearly liked the presentation by CSX CEO Hunter Harrison -- a legend in the North American railroad sector -- at a Credit Suisse conference in Palm Beach on Tuesday, but it is hard to believe that alone propelled the stock in the latter half of this week.
Tread carefully into the strong performing transports.
No, CSX shares are moving because tax reform is looking more certain. Companies that generate most or all of their revenues domestically will be the major beneficiaries of tax reform. It stands to reason, as the tax burden on U.S. companies is among the highest in the world. That's not politics, that's just fact. I recently had the CFO of a regional bank -- with 100% of operations in the U.S. -- tell me at a conference in a conspiratorial tone "if tax reform passes that all drops straight to the bottom line." Yes, it will, and that should be no secret.
It is true that the key indicators for the North American railroad industry are trending upward, and American Association of Railroads data show an even faster rate of growth thus far in 2017 than they did when I published my RM column on October 13th. But earnings estimates for the sector haven't budged, and, as mentioned above, CSX's have actually declined slightly since mid-October.
So, the market is re-valuing CSX based on the potential for greater after-tax cash earnings. If the Republicans are successful in lowering corporate tax rates, shareholders of North American -focused companies should benefit in some way. CSX's yield of 1.3% is puny even compared to that of the S&P 500, and a higher dividend is one way that shareholders could be rewarded if CSX's effective tax rate does indeed decline.
I believe, however, the potential for improved cash flows due to lower corporate tax rates is fully reflected in the Dow Transports' 16.8% total return in the past 52-weeks. That's a strong gain by historical standards, and looks puny in comparison to CSX stock's massive total return of over 63% for that time period.
"Priced to perfection" is a phrase often used to define high-flying stocks, and at 20.95x 2018 EPS estimates, I just don't see any upside for CSX's valuation multiple. If analysts raise EPS estimates for CSX that could provide that next catalyst for the stock, but, barring that, I believe tax reform is priced into CSX shares at these levels, and other industrial stocks offer more compelling values.

The first Civilian Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, was confirmed Wednesday morning by a leading member of his People's Redemption Party (PRP), Senator Shehu Sani.
A statement obtained by The Rainbow on by Senator Shehu Sani, which was obtained by The Rainbow, reads:
"Alhaji Balarabe Musa, the former Governor of Kaduna State and the leader of the PRP has died.
"Nigeria has lost a patriot, a revolutionary, a nationalist, an honest man and a man of principles and conviction.
"Balarabe Musa lived an accomplished life of Honesty, simplicity and service to humanity.
"He was an exemplar for prudence, dignify and Honour.
"Balarabe Musa was the best Governor that has ever presided over the affairs of Kaduna State. He was one of the few Governors and politicians released after the collapse of the second republic and declared innocent of any wrongdoing.
Balarabe died in active service in the command of his conscience."
Balarabe was the leader of the People's Redemption Party in the 4th Republic.
He stepped down as the chairman in 2018 due to health issues.
An apostle of Kano politician, Aminu Kano, Musa was elected Governor of Kaduna during the Second Republic.
He held office from October 1979 until he was impeached on 23 June, 1981.
Born 21 August 1936, Musa died in Kaduna at 84.

Droneseed: Fighting against Climate Change with Reforestation
drones and reforestation
"By using the newest technology of planting seeds by drones, Droneseed has increased the speed of reforestation."
By Linn Smith
With climate change and the warming of our planet comes forest fires as evidenced by the recent fires in Australia. The wildfire season has gotten considerably longer and drought has fueled the fires. Rising temperatures evaporate more moisture from the ground and vegetation turns dry with lack of moisture. These events lead to a longer wildfire season. Acres and acres of forest and prairie act as tinder for any mistake by nature or man. Deforestation has many devastating results including erosion and furthering the effects of global warming by destroying a forest's contribution to clean air, turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.
In the past reforestation depended on humans carrying seedlings, planting each nursery grown seedling by hand as they walked across the deforested areas. If reforestation does not take place in these areas, erosion washes away the top soil and unwanted invasive plants and ground cover may eventually take the place of native trees.
reforestation
Droneseed
Droneseed is a relatively new company that is reseeding destroyed forests by dropping tree seeds by drones, mitigating the devastated areas. They are a Seattle-based group of people interested in using technology to help save our planet. They work with the Nature Conservatory and some of the largest lumber companies in the world. According to their website, http://www.droneseed.com, they are a team of " nursery managers, foresters, ecologists, biologists, and engineers who love the data, theory, and the hands-on work necessary to grow forests."
In an interview by Devin Coldeway (@Techcrunch), founder and CEO Grant Canary Canary stated, "I started looking into how it's done today," he told me. "It's incredibly outdated. Even at the most sophisticated companies in the world, planters are superheroes that use bags and a shovel to plant trees. They're being paid to move material over mountainous terrain and be a simple AI and determine where to plant trees where they will grow — microsites. We are now able to do both these functions with drones. This allows those same workers to address much larger areas faster without the caloric wear and tear."
I have witnessed first hand the devastating changes from forest fires. With the beetle kill causing rapid flames to spread, the Hayman fire was Colorado's largest, over 138,000 acres, rapidly spreading over the Colorado Rocky's beautiful terrain. Riding past this area several years later revealed acres and acres of new ground cover with a few cabins that the forest service saved, standing alone amongst the baron, black terrain left by the fire.
Mitigation of Deforested Areas
Droneseed is on the forefront when it comes to mitigation of deforested areas. Using the newest technology of planting seeds by drones they have increased the speed of reforestation. According to Techcrunch.com, in the article, That Night a Forest Flew Droneseed, "Earlier this year, DroneSeed was awarded the first multi-craft, over-55-pounds unmanned aerial vehicle license ever issued by the FAA. Its custom UAV platforms, equipped with multispectral camera arrays, high-end lidar, six-gallon tanks of herbicide and proprietary seed dispersal mechanisms have been hired by several major forest management companies, with government entities eyeing the service as well.These drones scout a burned area, mapping it down to as high as centimeter accuracy, including objects and plant species, fumigate it efficiently and autonomously, identify where trees would grow best, then deploy painstakingly designed seed-nutrient packages to those locations. It's cheaper than people, less wasteful and dangerous than helicopters and smart enough to scale to national forests currently at risk of permanent damage."
Droneseed packages seeds to drop from their drones by studying the soil and matching the packages closely with the nutrients and soil PH of the area in need of reforestation. They dust the outside of the seed with capaicin, which creates the heat in hot peppers, to keep wildlife from eating the seed.
Droneseed expects to take its services worldwide, thus speeding the growth of deforested areas and pulling carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere and replacing it with oxygen. This process, in return, will slow down our planets warming climate, making our planet livable for future generations.

President Trump Withdraws The United States From The Paris Climate Agreement.
It's our responsibility to change.
"Most Americans Support the Paris Agreement."
By Dr. John J. Hidore
Geological evidence indicates that the earth is now the warmest it has been in the last 650,000 years. Data also indicates the 20th Century was the warmest century in the past 1000 years. Most of the warmest years of record have occurred since the beginning of the year 2000. Climate change is now taking place faster and faster and is responsible for historic catastrophes around the world. It is clear to the majority of human beings inhabiting this planet that there is a serious problem of change taking place in our weather and climate.
The Paris Climate Conference-Cop21
In the fall of 2015 the historic Paris climate conference-cop21 (Conference Of Parties) was held. Out of that conference came what is generally know as the Paris agreement. The main goal of the group is to keep the mean temperature of Earth from increasing less than 2 degrees above the pre-industrial average temperature. It has already risen about half that. This means keeping the global temperature from rising no more than another 1 degree F. By reducing this much it would bring the level of carbon dioxide back to where it was at the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Cities, states and individuals must do their part in preventing climate change.
An agreement was finalized on December 12, 2015. It was ultimately approved by nearly all nations. The group committed to keeping the global temperature rise to 1 degree F by the year 2100. A key difference in this agreement from previous agreements is that each individual country could set its own goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The agreement imposes no penalties for countries which do not meet their own goals.
Prior conferences wanted to set the goals for each country. Some poor countries still wanted the richest countries to bear the biggest share of the cost or to make the biggest cuts in carbon emissions. The wealthier countries did commit $100 billion a year to help pay the costs for the poorest countries.
Climate Change-Trump has NO plan!
Trump and the Paris Agreement
During the election campaign of 2016 and as President, Trump stated he would take America out of the Agreement. During the presidential campaign in 2016 he declared that climate change was a hoax. He also stated that if elected he would take the United States out of the 2015 Paris Accord.
On Thursday, June 1, 2017 the president of the United States announced that he was withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement. The reason he gave was that the agreement was unfair to this country and, as president, he has the right to do that. That this decision on his part has trashed America's image abroad is an understatement. The United State has been leading the effort to take action to reduce or halt the human induced portion of climate change. However, on Monday, December 2, 2019 President Trump again announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. This left the other signatories of the agreement to plan action to combat climate change without participation of one of the major contributors to the problem.
Support of the Paris Agreement
Most Americans Support the Paris Agreement. Millions of individuals have now become activists on reducing climate change. People are changing their life styles to use less energy. They are publicly active to get local governments to cut energy use and to change to less carbon based sources of energy. The governments of a number of states have publicly declared they will continue to support the agreement. They will move ahead on measures to reduce greenhouse emissions and climate change.
California, which is the sixth largest economy on the planet, is pushing ahead to become a carbon free region. Other states are following suit even if they do not officially support the Paris agreement. The number of states has now reached about a dozen at the time of this writing. More will participate I am sure.
Support a Clean Planet for Future Generations!
Mayors' Action on Climate
Groups of cities are actively working to reduce greenhouse emissions. More than 250 American cities officially adopted the Paris agreement. They are part of a group called Mayors National Climate Action Agenda. Among the cities that have agreed to support the Paris Agreement is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is the very city which Trump stated he represented although he did not represent the Paris Agreement. There is no doubt that the position the current president of the United States has taken is a shock to the rest of the world, let alone to the majority of the people in this country. However, the people of this country will not turn their backs on the rest of the world. They will stand with all nations that are committed to reducing the extent of climate change which, is even at this date, resulting in catastrophes.
Island nation populations are being forced to move or cease to exist. Inland rivers are undergoing record floods. Extreme high temperatures are doing tremendous damage to plants and animals.
How great the catastrophes are in the future depends on what our nation, along with nearly all others, does in regard to climate change. Let the United States lead the way!

Success of the Ocean Cleanup Project
"The latest announcement has plans for the collected ocean plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to prevent its return to the ocean."
Boyan Slat is one of my environmental heroes! At the young age of 25, he is leaving his legacy in the world by sustainably creating a healthier planet. (Also see my previous article at https://planetearth5.com/2018/10/08/boyan-slat-and-the-ocean-clean-up-project/)
The last several weeks Slat's non-profit company, The Ocean Cleanup, has reached a milestone in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) and cleaning up the rivers at the source of garbage dumping with the latest operation called The Interceptor, a floating operation that extracts garbage in rivers. As he stated, "We need to close the tap." to the garbage entering the ocean.
A Message from Boyan Slat
Boyan's message on December 12 was, "Mission one completed– The plans to make products from the plastic catch. Welcoming the first of the plastic on land is the moment we've been looking forward to. I believe we can use this trash to turn a problem into a solution by transforming this unique material into products. As most people will never go to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, through these products we aim to give everyone the opportunity to take part in the cleanup." After many months of trial and error and years of planning by Slat and his crew to get to this stage of the cleanup, success has been achieved!
Products from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The latest announcement are plans for the collected ocean plastic to prevent its return to the ocean. Sustainable products, launching in September 2020, will be made from the ocean plastic and sold to the public. Profits will be returned to the company to fund the continuation of the ocean cleanup.

Recycling: Creating Hope for a Greener Planet
Recycle and Conserve
"European countries are recycling 35% to 40% [of their plastic waste]. The U.S. only recycles 10%."
I am spending time in a suburb in the Southwestern part of the United States. After being a diligent recycler most of my adult life, I have come to realize that many households do not share my passion for doing their part to prevent further negative impact on our planet. Even though I'm conscientious about buying goods in bulk from local health food stores, I still accumulate some bottles, cans and plastics. It's the world we live!
I have been in the Southwest for several weeks and have repeatedly asked people and businesses about a drop off place for glass and plastic. The answer is always the same….the surrounding suburbs no longer take drop off recyclables as rates have gone up and in some sections there has been complete halt on even curbside recycling for glass and plastic. Cans are less of a problem, as many are willing to turn them in for cash, but plastic and glass? My efforts have produced nothing.
Recycling Shut Down!
Following is the message I found when trying to locate a place to drop off my recyclables:
**CLOSURE NOTICE**
All City of *****recyling Drop-off Centers Are Indefinitely Closed
Due to increasing recycling processing fees and decreasing commodity values, the City of **** has found it necessary to reevaluate its entire recycling program. While we value the importance and place high priority on conserving our natural resources, we must also take into account financial considerations to ensure we are able to maintain a sustainable program. The total operating cost for the City of ***** three recycling drop-off centers is approximately $250,000 per year. While we have been pleased to offer this service for many years and appreciate you visiting our centers, unfortunately the decision has been made to indefinitely close all three locations."
A newly formed mountain of waste.
The Landfill: A Mountain of Garbage!
I then sought out the local landfill. I couldn't enter as the truck in the picture was on guard to keep out private citizens. But standing on the road running parallel to the landfill, I took in the site of a mountain newly produced by garbage from the city that won't allow recycled dropoffs. As I stood in disgust of this newly formed mountain of garbage in our once beautiful desert Southwest, I wondered, "Where did we go wrong? Was it just a hundred years ago that people were growing their own food, canning, reusing their jars, sewing their own clothes, living what would now be called a sustainable life?"
Guarding the landfill.
The site of all those recyclable materials sitting in a landfill in our beautiful desert for a hundred years and accumulating day by day, year by year is almost too much for me to comprehend. To me you either care about out planet, leaving future generations with at least the knowledge that you tried, or you don't…..you further the "pig sty" concept of what use to be our beautiful earth. The choice is ours to not be lazy!
Where will our Recyclables Go?
The excuse for many cities is this….China quit taking our dirty waste which we had been shipping over to them since 1992 and that alone broke the recycling system in the U.S. Keefe Harrison, CEO of the Recycling Partnership, a nonprofit that seeks to boost the industry, stated "European countries are recycling 35% to 40% [of their plastic waste]. The U.S. only recycles 10%. How tragic is that? We're fighting an uphill battle to make it cost competitive from day one. The U.S. has previously outsourced so much of its recycling to Asia that the domestic industry languished. And there's the fact that plastic manufacturers keep making more and more of it, and consumer brands like Procter & Gamble, Nestlé and Walmart keep wrapping more consumer goods in it."
According to an article in the Sierra magazine, China's refusing to take our recyclables has given us the opportunity to develop a plan of our own if we care enough to go down that avenue. "The whole crisis narrative has been wrong," says Steve Alexander, president of the Association of Plastic Recyclers. "China didn't break recycling. It has given us the opportunity to begin investing in the infrastructure we need in order to do it better."
Alliance to End Plastic Waste
There are many different types of plastic. Some can be recycled, some cannot. In the past companies have used the plastic most profitable without considering what happens to their product packaging.
Several petrochemical companies have joined big consumer brands in pledging to make most of their plastic recyclable, reusable or compostable within the next decade or two. Their group, Alliance to End Plastic Waste, has promised to spend $1.5 billion over five years to recycle their packaging products.
Every Bottle Back
Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper recently announced a plan, Every Bottle Back, to reduce their dependence on new plastic by collecting, recycling and remaking plastic bottles from plastic they have already produced. "Closed Loop Partners, the leading investment firm in sustainability, will manage upgrades to recycling infrastructure and fund upgrades to equipment at bottle recovery systems. The fund will also be used to help businesses that turn recycled bottles into plastic pellets for reuse in many products."
The Ocean Cleanup.
Then there are the heroes of our planet.The Ocean Clean Up nonprofit organization, started by 25 year old Boyan Slat, is not only working on the clean up of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, but has recently unveiled technology to clean up rivers that are streaming garbage to the ocean.
"The Interceptor is The Ocean Cleanup's answer for river plastic waste. It is the first scalable solution to prevent plastic from entering the world's oceans from rivers. It is 100% solar-powered, extracts plastic autonomously, and is capable of operating in the majority of the world's most polluting rivers."
The Ocean Clean Up, Boyan Slat
But we cannot depend on a young man in his 20's to clean up our planet, even though he has diligently done more than his part. We must all do our part also!

Climate Change: Marine Heat Waves
The Blob shows the warmest ocean .
"In recent years large regions of unusually warm water have been observed in the global oceans."
By John J. Hidore
Terrestrial heat waves have been a problem for the human species throughout history. They occur on all continents with the possible exception of Antarctica. Technically, they occur there as well. Terrestrial heat waves are defined as prolonged periods of unusually warm weather. What would be defined as a heat wave in one location would not be appropriate for another location, perhaps one not even too far away. An adequate definition might be, "A heat wave is an unusually warm or hot period lasting for days or perhaps weeks." We associate them with summer but by this definition they can actually occur at any season. At least one country makes a clear definition of a heat wave and that is Pakistan. India defines heat waves and uses different temperatures in different parts of the country to establish what constitutes a heat wave. In the plains regions temperatures above 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) constitute a heat wave. They also define a severe heatwave for this region as experiencing temperatures over 46 degrees C (114.8 degrees F).
Breaking previous ocean temperatures.
Marine heat waves
In recent years large regions of unusually warm water have been observed in the global oceans. These large areas of warmer than usual water develop when surface winds drop in velocity or become calm and are now referred to as marine heat waves. These large areas of unusually warm water(MHWs) are defined in similar terms to heat waves on land as prolonged periods of unusually warm water. In the United States NOAA defines a marine heat wave as an event where the surface water temperature is warmer than 90% of past events whose temperatures were warmer than average for that particular time of year and location for at least five days. The term" blob" has been applied to them. The term was the name given to an event that occurred off the west coast of the United States in 2014-2015.
Pacific Ocean Heat Wave of 2019
A marine heat wave developed over a large part of the northeastern Pacific Ocean this past summer. It extended from Hawaii to the Pacific coast of the United States and stretched all the way from Alaska to California. Temperatures off the coast here rose by 2-3 degrees Fahrenheit. Off the west coast of the United States the blob resulted in a large loss of marine life from microorganisms to large fish. It subsequently affected marine animals and birds. The Hawaiian Islands had the warmest summer on record this year. The effects of the current MHW had a major impact on life in the ocean near the islands. The warmer water resulting in extensive coral bleaching damage to the reefs.
These events are a product of the 21st century, occur in the oceans around the world and are occurring more often and are lasting longer.

Heating your RV
"Staying warm can be challenging, especially in an RV."
Winter is upon us here in North America and staying warm can be challenging, especially in an RV. We have a Mr. Heater which we sometimes use in the RV, but I have always used it for short periods only, because I have never been sure of the safety when it comes to carbon monoxide emissions… and the RV chat groups on the internet have ceased to put my mind to rest.
Some RVers say they would never use a Mr. Heater in small spaces, others say they have used them for years. These heaters have built in safety features so, except for leaks at the connections which can be checked for after connecting, they are relatively safe. Mr. Heater has a sensor that shuts them down when oxygen gets low and a tip over safety feature which will also shut them down.
Mr. Heater attached to outside propane tank on RV.
I have friends in Arizona who use only the Mr. Heater to heat their RV, running a Mr. Heater 12' propane hose assembly from their outside propane tank. There are videos on YouTube for setting this up by drilling a hole in the floor of the RV.
What is the carbon foot print of propane heaters? According to Seattlepi.com, "Propane, though a fossil fuel, is a relatively clean burning fuel which is attributed to its lower carbon content….though its combustion does produce some greenhouse gas wastes."
Charge your battery with solar panels.
Although you can make many arguments for and against the environmental impact of an RV, most full time RVers go south for the winter, where they have access to an ideal heat source…warm weather and the warm sun shining through the windows. Today more and more RVs are equipped with solar panels to keep their battery charged.
Charging the battery with solar
The "green argument" for heating an RV with propane? It's not ideal, but you are heating a very small space and if you travel south for the winter, a heater is only used occasionally for several hours at night.
Heating with a Mr. Heater
During my spare time I began watching videos on the safety of Mr. Heaters and found one that pretty much put my mind at rest, a video on YouTube hosted by a charismatic Canadian full time RVer, Taylor Dzaman. Mr. Dzaman did his own very thorough investigation on Mr. Heaters called "Are Buddy Heaters Safe Inside an RV/Carbon Monoxide full test (review). The question he asked, "Can you sleep all night long with a Buddy heater turned on in your RV. What about a tent? A room in your home? Does it give off carbon monoxide?"
Here's the link to his YouTube video: https://youtu.be/5vqyfOq0D-8

U.N. Climate Action Awards: Eco Wave Power
Creating Electricity for the Ocean
"Eco Wave Power has successfully developed and commercialized wave energy."
Eco Wave Power is a company founded in 2011 which is the only company in the world that turns ocean waves into clean energy, connecting wave floaters to the power grid. Since 2016 the Wave Farm has been providing Gibraltar, a tiny country bordering Spain, with electricity. Eco Wave Power is also a 2019 recipient of the United Nation's Climate Action Award.
Generating electricity from the ocean
Clean and Affordable Energy
According to the U.N. Climate Action organization,"The project generates clean and affordable electricity, using a simple design that allows the project's uniquely shaped floaters to be attached to existing man-made structures (such as piers, breakwaters and jetties), and thereby simplifying the installation process, as well as maintenance and accessibility."
Ocean waves create electricity in Gibraltar
How Wave Energy Works
The converter consists of three main functional parts: mechanical, hydraulic and electric systems. The mechanical system serves as a wave energy receiver on floaters and transmits the energy to hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic system transforms the mechanical energy from the sea to hydraulic fluid pressure and forces a hydraulic motor rotation, which transfers the energy from rotation to the generator. The generator is part of a converter electrical system. It receives the energy from rotation and transforms it to electrical power.
Generating clean energy
Key Facts according to U.N. Climate Action
*Wave energy has historically been uncommercialized due to the complexity of extracting energy from the ocean. This project has successfully developed and commercialized wave energy, resulting in a grid-connected array that has operated continuously since 2016.
*In 2018, the station set a world record for wave energy when it clocked over 15,000 grid-connection hours.
*Commercializing wave energy has enormous potential — the World Energy Council predicts that wave energy can produce twice the amount of electricity the world currently produces.
*More than half the world's population lives within 100 km (62 miles) of a coastline, and in many locations, the power of the waves is available around the clock.
Being easy to build and cost efficient these floaters also have little negative impact on the environment. Gibraltar has been a test site and Eco Wave's plan for further expansion are on the horizon!

Unethical but not Illegal: Feeling Indifferent about Our Carbon Footprint
"The most environmentally friendly product is the one you didn't buy."
Joshua Becker
What is unethical? According to vocabulary.com it means, "Going against social or professional expectations of what's right. It's a word that's often used to describe bad behavior or immoral conduct."
What is the definition of Illegal? Laws and consequences that regulate human behavior.
Legally Destroying our Planet
Currently there are very few regulations on carbon dioxide and toxins we pour into our atmosphere, landfills and oceans. Most regulations are voluntary. What makes it unethical? The practice of adding more greenhouse gases and toxic materials to our earth and our atmosphere is a destructive force that negatively impacts our planet…but it's not illegal!
We have produced generations of people that have lost all human memory of survival by using their own resources to live, such as growing gardens, canning, freezing, sewing their own clothes, harvesting their own honey….having the ability to live independent of industry. It's the Industrial Revolution of destruction… consumers dependent on mass production which is destroying our planet!
Fight against global warming!
Unethical but not Illegal
It's not against the law to:
•Manufacture, transport and toss millions of plastic materials which, not only leave a huge carbon footprint in manufacturing, but end up in our lakes, rivers, oceans, landfills and falling from the sky in raindrops. Unethical but not illegal!
•Purchase gas guzzling vehicles that have left huge carbon footprints even before being purchased.
•Spend thousands on the latest fashions. The fashion industry leaves a huge toxic trail before you see it on the racks of your favorite retail outlet. Unethical but not illegal.
•Buy the latest and greatest cell phone….huge carbon footprint!
Coal and Oil Formation
The Most Environmentally Friendly Product
Here's a suggestion. Why not buy used and donate the difference to The Ocean Cleanup (which is currently cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage patch), a nonprofit clean energy organization, homeless shelters, a children's hospital or a horse rescue, just to name a few possibilities. There are many horse rescues around and they always need hay! Just google one and offer to buy a few bales once in awhile! (I volunteer at horse rescues so I know this firsthand.)
The most environmentally friendly product is the one you didn't buy!" and I will insert "buy new!"
The Industrial Revolution cannot continue. Underdeveloped countries need to develop in an environmentally friendly direction and developed countries need to take a look at the meaning of economic growth if the meaning of economic growth is further destruction to our planet!
How much extreme weather can we endure and how many species will become extinct? Can we just turn our backs and say it's too late or worse, nothing I can do will matter?
Tagore had it right! "The one who plants trees, knowing that they will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life."

Record Breaking Temperatures Across our Planet
Climate Change Affects Everyone!
"The average temperature of our planet is heating up!"
I can attest, being a resident of the western United States, that the summer of 2019 was HOT! In the west records were broken in most states along with the number of days over 90 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, June and July of 2019 were the hottest ever recorded, tied with the records of 2016. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), July was 1.71 degrees hotter than the average.
Africa just recorded its hottest months ever and countries in Europe also experienced record highs. The Earth's oceans recorded highs this summer, about 1.5 degrees F above normal for July. Denver, Colorado had the hottest September on record, with a record breaking 100 degrees, which had never happened before in September.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrative Data
The following information is data taken from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrative( NOAA) website which has the correct data on the record highs this summer (2019):
August 2019: The average global temperature in August was 1.66 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 60.1 degrees, tying it with 2015 and 2017 as the second-hottest August in the 140-year record, according to scientists at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. The hottest August on record was August 2016, and the five hottest Augusts on record have all occurred since 2014.
The global sea surface temperature last month was 1.51°F above the 20th century monthly average of 61.4°F, making it the highest global ocean temperature for August on record.
Temperatures are steadily rising on our planet.
Meteorological summer in the Northern Hemisphere
June through August 2019 was the Northern Hemisphere's hottest meteorological summer on record, tied with 2016. The period of June through August, which also marks the Southern Hemisphere's winter, was the planet's second hottest in the 140-year record at 1.67 degrees F above the 20th-century average, behind June-August of 2016. The last five June-August periods are the five hottest on record.
The period from January through August produced a global temperature that was 1.69 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 57.3 degrees (for both hemispheres, one being in winter), making it the third hottest January-August period on record after 2016 and 2017.
More notable stats and facts
*Sea ice retreats: The August Arctic sea ice coverage was 30.1 percent below average, right behind August 2012's record-lowest extent. Antarctic sea ice extent was the fifth smallest August extent on record.
*Regional record heat: Europe, Africa and the Hawaiian region had August temperatures that ranked among their three hottest Augusts on record.
*Scorching season for some: Africa had its warmest June–August since records began. South America and Europe had a June–August temperature that ranked among the three-warmest such periods on record.
Is it warming up where you are? The answer is yes. Even though you still have cold days and seasonal changes, the climate average of our planet is heating up!

The Greenhouse Effect: Dangers of Methane
The methane molecule binds heat because of its make up.
"Keeping methane emissions in check is essential to prevent global warming."
As we battle the effects of climate change we must also educate ourselves about the changes taking place in our atmosphere. The two main components humans are dumping into our atmosphere that are contributing to the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane(CH4).
CO2 vs Methane
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the emission we think of as creating the greatest impact on global warming. The least talked about until recently is methane. The increase in fracking for natural gas has resulted in an increase of methane in our atmosphere.
A 2015 study published in ScienceMagazine.org revealed that emissions of methane in our atmosphere was approximately 60% greater than has been estimated by the EPA, as the EPA did not include the emissions from fracking and drilling sites not currently active.

Satellite Detection of Methane
As stated in my previous article, https://planetearth5.com/2014/10/30/the-hottest-spot-of-methane-in-the-u-s/, data from satellites have detected the largest gas leaks from major sources. Newer and more efficient satellites, MethaneSAT, are due to be launched in 2021. These satellites are so advanced they will be able to pinpoint individual producers of greenhouse gases from oil rigs.
The make up of the methane molecule.
Methane and the Greenhouse Effect
What then makes methane so deadly to our plMethaneanet? When we hear the term greenhouse effect, it isn't all negative. Some of it is a natural process of keeping the earth warm so we can inhabit it. The sun's rays make their way to Earth, trapping some of the energy in our atmosphere where the natural greenhouse gases are interconnected with the energy of the sun making our planet livable.
The Scientific Explanation of Greenhouse Gases
The greenhouse gases are molecules made up of 3 or more atoms bound together loosely so they can vibrate when they absorb heat. This keeps heat near the Earth's surface. Most of the gas in our atmosphere is made up of oxygen and nitrogen which are made up of 2 atoms bound together more tightly than the greenhouse gas molecules, which are three or more atoms. Two atoms bound together can't vibrate as three or more atoms do, so they can't absorb the sun's heat as it travels back from earth into space. The vibrating and absorption of heat by the molecules made up of 3 or more atoms causes the greenhouse effect.
Methane is made up of 5 atoms and carbon dioxide of 3, so methane is able to absorb far more heat than CO2 even though there is less methane in our atmosphere. The more methane and CO2 flood our atmosphere, the greater the greenhouse effect because of their 3 and 5 atom makeup. The methane molecule can stay 10 or more years in the earth's atmosphere, not as long as carbon dioxide but binding more unwanted heat in its molecules. For more information see: UCAR Center for Science Education (scied.ucar.edu).
84 times more potent than co2.
Global Warming Potential of Methane
According to National Geographic.com, "The 20 year global warming potential of methane is 84. That is, over a 20 year period it traps 84 times more heat per mass unit than CO2 and 32 times the effect when accounting for aerosol interactions. Global methane concentrations rose from 722 parts per billion (ppb) in pre-industrial times to 1866 ppb in 2019." Methane has risen more than 150% ppm since the 1700s. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has warned that keeping methane emissions in check is essential to prevent global warming.
In 2016 during the Obama administration, steps were put in place to regulate the fracking and drilling industries' emission of methane, cutting the total emissions in half by 2025. Last month the Trump administration announced they had plans to loosen these regulations.
Methane is a greenhouse gas.
As these more dangerous gases are released into our atmosphere by gas vehicles, industry, drilling and heating our homes, our planet continues to move towards an unbalanced system. This will continue in the future to cause our earth to warm, weather to be more extreme, ice to melt in the arctic and many species to become extinct…..possibly even humans. So sense of urgency? Yes, because our focus on wealth by and for continuous development in the private sector, industry and government seems to be speaking louder than our suffering planet.

Belarus Brutality
By Sebastian Salcido on March 30, 2021
For months, there have been protests in the streets of Minsk in opposition to president Lukashenko's authoritarian regime. Alexander Lukashenko has been president for 26 years. In the 2020 election of Belarus, the government states that Lukashenko won by 80%. The protests in the aftermath tell a different story. People have been protesting for Lukashenko to step down for months. Some have even been calling for him to be put behind bars. Law enforcement has not been responding kindly to the dissidents. Police have been arresting, beating, and even torturing protesters. Police have used water cannons against protesters as well. Some people who were beaten by law enforcement claim they were even raped.
Lukashenko is not only criticized because it is believed he rigged the election, but Lukashenko has also altered the constitution to remove limits on presidential terms. Lukashenko denied the existence of the coronavirus, and Belarus has one of the largest per capita infection rates. Thousands lost their lives. Lukashenko also stated, "Our constitution is not meant for a female leader." Back in 2010, police beat up and apprehended several other candidates. Women were leading the protests against Lukashenko. The 3 women leading the opposition were Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya, Maria Kolesnikova, and Veronika Tsepkalo. Unfortunately, Lukashenko's minions abducted Maria and she is now in prison. Svetlana fled to Lithuania and Veronika fled to Ukraine. Back in February, two journalists were jailed for filming the protests in Belarus. The protests continue today. It is unknown how longer these protests will continue to take place until it comes to an end. The European Union placed sanctions on Lukashenko back in November. Svietlana recently stated the United Nations and OSCE are ready to help speak with the state on a new election. How will this crisis be solved? Can it be solved diplomatically or will it take force for this ruthless regime to be brought to an end?

It is our pleasure to invite you to register your participation on the largest international symposium of gas professionals in Southeast Europe - 33rd International Scientific & Expert Meeting of Gas Professionals to be held from 9th to 11th of May, 2018 in the Congress Centre of Grand Hotel Adriatic in Opatija, Croatia.
© HSUPProfessionals from all over the world in one time and place - you cannot miss it!
One of the largest international gas conferences and exhibitions in the region of Central and Southeast Europe from 9 – 11 May in Opatija is expecting the participation of 600 gas and energy experts, which includes representatives from about 240 companies and organisations, 60 or so renowned speakers and more than 40 exhibitors from 20 countries in Europe, the USA and Iran. The influential group from the gas profession will cover a series of topics important for the gas and energy industry which traverse the entire chain of natural gas as well as key challenges which will determine the development of the natural gas market in the near future.
Associate Professor Dalibor Pudić, PhD, President of the Croatian Gas Association (HSUP) in his introductory talk will point out that in adopting the energy strategy and to achieve the global objective of achieving a low-carbon economy, it is very important that each country activate its specific available resources with the aim of developing its national economy as well as ensuring support for the population and local communities through implementation of energy projects. The author will elaborate on the importance and role of natural gas, which as a green fuel is a key transition energy for the 21st century.
In the first topic of the conference (invitational talks) titled "Efficient Gas Technologies and Energy Strategies for a Competitive Economy – Today and in the Future", Prof Igor Dekanić, PhD, from the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum in Zagreb, will talk about the fundamentals of the energy strategy in changing conditions on energy markets and the need for developing a competitive economy, explain the role of energy policies in change to energy prices and a more competitive economy and also highlight the role of gas as a bridge towards a low-carbon energy mix in the coming future.
Albert van den Noort, senior advisor from the company DNV GL from the Netherlands, will present the contributions of new, efficient gas technologies for storing electrical energy, such as Power-to-Gas to a cost-effective energy transition and competitive economy. Stevo Kolundžić, PhD, and Prof Miljenko Šunić, PhD, from the Croatian Gas Association will consider in their work, the possibility of large investments in implementing the energy strategy and low-carbon strategy, especially in the energy industry, and the opportunities for encouraging an economy transformation. This will be followed by an interesting panel discussion on the same topic along with the participation of representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Energy.
A few interesting presentations will show how the introduction of smart technologies by gas and energy companies achieves lower operational costs, increases safety and better quality of services, thereby achieving a competitive advantage on the market. Experts from the company Plinacro will present activities relating to the construction of the new main Zlobin – Omišalj pipeline as well as the project for constructing the compressor station on the transport system of the Republic of Croatia. Leading experts from the company LNG Croatia will present the current phase of the LNG terminal project on the island of Krk and its role in developing new industries in the Croatian economy.
Presentations by a number of speakers will explain why the Southern Corridor, the LNG terminal, interconnections with its surroundings and stable domestic production are the basis for future gas supply. Antonija Glavaš, member of the Management Board at Prvo plinarsko društvo, will provide an introductory talk which will announce the path towards complete deregulation of prices followed by more significant changes on the market which will lead to the consolidation of numerous companies. Following a number of presentations will be an interesting panel discussion on the topic "Issues Involving the Supply of Gas on Liberalized Market" in which representatives of manufacturers, gas suppliers and distributers as well as those from Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA) will participate.
The gathering will also present papers from numerous experts on the topic of regular and emergency maintenance of the gas distribution and transport system, routing and other issues in the gas industry. This will be followed by a series of presentations on the development, potential and challenges in using gas in transport as well as an interesting panel discussion with participation from manufacturers of natural gas vehicles, manufacturers of natural gas filling stations for vehicles, representatives from the Ministry of Sea, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Croatia as well as the Croatian Chamber of Economy.

Create a Zoom folder under our NOF project folder so that we have a custom place for Zoom to store the output files created for this website.
Configure Zoom to use our folder and the files created by NOF.
Before we start the Zoom indexing program, we need to create a folder called Zoom under our NOF project file folder. Then we will configure Zoom to place the files that it generates for this website in that folder.
Hint: This extra step will make sure that you are always publishing the correct Zoom files for your website.
Start the Zoom Indexer program using the desktop shortcut or the entry under Programs.
Important: As soon as the program starts, the VERY FIRST THING that you want to do is to create a new configuration file for the website you are working on.
To do this, click File, then Save Configuration As... from the Zoom pulldown menu. Then navigate to the NOF project folder under User Sites for this website. When you have the correct folder selected, change the name of the Zoom configuration file to the name of the website you are indexing.
C:\NetObjects Fusion 7.5\User Sites\LANSRAD and changed the name to be LANSRAD.zcfg.
Hint: In the future when we want to start Zoom to index this website we will just double-click this file. Windows will load Zoom with these settings. This is a better option than using the desktop shortcut since it makes sure that Zoom has the correct configuration file.
If you do use the desktop shortcut, then the FIRST thing you would need to do (before indexing any website or making any changes) would be to LOAD the zcfg file for the website you are working on.
Before we can use the Zoom index program, we need to configure it for our NOF website and select the options we want to use for indexing.
As mentioned earlier, Zoom can index your website from the Internet or from the LOCAL PUBLISH. The type of indexing that suits you best will depend on your website and how it is used. Since all of our content comes from our local copy of NetObjects Fusion we are going to let Zoom build our indices from the content generated in the LOCAL PUBLISH.
This method will also make it easy for us to be sure that our search results template file (generated by NOF when we did the LOCAL PUBLISH) is always up to date with our other web pages.
Note: Even if you are building your Zoom indices from the Internet, you should still PUBLISH LOCAL BEFORE you run Zoom to make sure that your search results page is up to date.
To make sure that we can run Zoom in either index mode at any time, we are going to configure both the Zoom Spider Mode (used for indexing from the Internet) and the Zoom Offline Mode (used for indexing from our LOCAL PUBLISH files). Once saved we need not change these settings unless the file locations change.
We also make sure that the PHP platform is selected for the Offline Mode.
Note: This is a VERY important step and your search results page will not work correctly unless you set this value. You also have to remember to PUBLISH LOCAL at least one time so that the page is generated by NOF.
Hint: If you get errors from Zoom that it can not find the search_template_src.html file, it is most likely that you either did not select the \html folder, or you forgot to Publish Local before starting your indexing.
You can then click to the other tabs as needed to set any other Zoom search parameters. You can adjust the other settings of Zoom to suit your preferences. This is just an example of the ones that we used in this example. Please refer to the Zoom documentation for detailed instructions.
Click FILE and then Save Configuration after you click OK to update your custom Zoom settings before you exit Zoom or before you start the indexing process.
