Poznávací stezka obcí Trstěnice "Trstěnická stezka" se nachází v obci Trstěnice (dříve Střenice nebo Třenice) v okrese Svitavy v Pardubickém kraji. Stezka s 22 zastaveními je rozdělena do tří tras, prochází třemi částmi katastrálního území obce a její celková délka je 9,3 km.

Historie
Poznávací stezka obcí Trstěnice byla vybudována v letech 2017 - 2018 Institutem lidového kulturního dědictví, z.s. se sídlem v Litomyšli ve spolupráci s obcí Trstěnice. (Institut lidového kulturního dědictví (ILKD), z. s. byl založen v roce 2015 s cílem realizace projektu, nazvaného "Záchrana a prezentace lidového kulturního dědictví Českomoravského pomezí". V rámci ILKD jsou sdruženi odborníci, působící v oblasti památkové péče, architektury, restaurování, archeologie a muzeí v přírodě).

Projekt byl spolufinancován z Evropského fondu regionálního rozvoje (EFRR) prostřednictvím fondu mikroprojektů Euroregionu Pomezí Čech, Moravy a Kladska - Euroregionu Glacensis v rámci programu Interreg V-A Česká republika – Polsko.

Stezka byla dokončena na přelomu července a srpna 2018 osazením dubových sloupků, které jsou ze čtyř stran pokryty deskami s historickými fotografiemi a s textem v českém, polském, anglickém a německém jazyce. V neděli 26. srpna 2018 v rámci 20. ročníku Trstěnických dožínek byla nová poznávací stezka slavnostně otevřena a zároveň se zde konal křest knihy Historie a paměti obce Třenice – Obraz Trstěnice v kronikách Josefa Žrouta.

Poslání stezky
Trstěnická stezka je unikátní z hlediska množství témat, která jsou v jejím rámci prezentována. Cílem projektu je umožnit co nejširšímu okruhu návštěvníků i místním obyvatelům komplexní pohled na kulturní dědictví života na venkově v daném regionu. Projekt věnuje pozornost nejen lidovým stavbám a sakrálním památkám, ale i prvkům kulturní zemědělské krajiny, příběhům míst a jednotlivých selských rodů.

Při koncipování a realizaci stezky byly využity informace z kronik a dalších textů místního sedláka a kronikáře Josefa Žrouta (1883-1964), dále z kroniky Adolfa Hurycha a materiály z osobních archívů místních občanů. Další podklady a informace poskytl též Etnologický ústav AV ČR, Státní okresní archív Svitavy a Regionální muzeum v Litomyšli.

Aiden McGeady and Jimmy Dunne to miss Mick McCarthy's Republic of Ireland return
Sunderland duo Aiden McGeady and Jimmy Dunne have missed the cut after Mick McCarthy slimmed down his provisional squad
Stuart Rayner
Updated 16:32, 14 MAR 2019
Sunderland's Aiden McGeady and Jimmy Dunne have missed the cut for Mick McCarthy's first squad back in charge of the Republic of Ireland.
The pair were named in the initial party, but not in the trimmed down version.
It is a blow for the uncapped Dunne , and for McGeady , who has not featured for his county since the World Cup qualifying play-off against Denmark.
It does, however, mean they will have a clear fortnight to prepare for Sunderland 's Football League Trophy final against Portsmouth, which both have a good chance of being involved in.
Former Black Cats youth-teamer Josh Egan was one of the centre-backs picked ahead of Dunne, along with Shane Duffy and former Carlisle United player Richard Keogh.
Ex-Stadium of Light winger James McClean is one of those selected ahead of McGeady, who has been in excellent form this season.
The 32-year-old was named as League One's player of the month for February.
He needs eight more caps to reach a century for his country. Robbie Keane, Shay Given, John O'Shea, Kevin Kilbane, Steve Staunton and Damien Duff are the only players to have reached the milestone.
Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood and Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane are other former Sunderland players named.
McCarthy has replaced Martin O'Neill as manager. It his second spell in charge, having done the job between 1996 and 2002.
Ireland host Georgia on March 26. They open their European Championships qualifying campaign in Gibraltar on Saturday.
Sunderland play at Wembley on March 31, followed by nine league games before the end of the regular season on May 4.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND SQUAD
Goalkeepers: Darren Randolph (Middlesbrough), Keiren Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday), Mark Travers (Bournemouth)
Defenders: Seamus Coleman (Everton), Matt Doherty (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Richard Keogh (Derby County), John Egan (Sheffield United), Shane Duffy (Brighton & Hove Albion), Enda Stevens (Sheffield United)
Midfielders: Alan Judge (Ipswich Town), Jeff Hendrick (Burnley), Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa), Alan Browne (Preston North End), Harry Arter (Cardiff City*), Glenn Whelan (Aston Villa), Robbie Brady (Burnley), Callum O'Dowda (Bristol City), James McClean (Stoke City)
Forwards: Shane Long (Southampton), Sean Maguire (Preston North End), Ronan Curtis (Portsmouth), David McGoldrick (Sheffield United), James Collins (Luton Town)

San Diego Politico: Joint Reform?
No, it's not about marijuana.
DeMaio is using Frye to advance his own agenda and Frye is willing to be used because she sees him as a fellow outsider and she needs friends.
Frye is an activist, not a politician, and activists don't like nuance. You're with them or against them. Don't ever question their devotion. Because of the time they've put in and the amount of heart behind their issues only they know what's best.
And the rookie mistake that activists make when they become elected officials is how easy they believe their own PR. How could it be otherwise? Your staff has proved they will support you no matter what. Your supporters look like they'd follow you off a cliff. How can you do wrong?
As such, she will always be an outsider fighting the system, even though she is a part of the same system. Her supporters identify with her "outsider shaking up the system" image and believe her when she says that no one else would dare fight corruption at City Hall except her. And outsiders don't compromise. In fact, they see solutions where no one else does because they aren't tainted by the status quo mindset.
The problem is that, as a legislator, she needs to govern and not just say no. It is always easier to be righteous than responsible which is why she hasn't bothered to support and work to get reforms and progressive legislation through the city council. It's easier to hold a press conference stating that the powers that be can't be trusted instead of trying to do something about them.
The anti-Prop C campaign she spearheaded was convenient for DeMaio. Frye needs friends and he offered to help. The benefit is psychological for Frye and real for DeMaio. Frye can paint herself as the outsider willing to cross party lines and tutor this young radical into working with her on an agenda that she's had six years to push.
Unless she never had one to begin with, which would explain these town halls.
For DeMaio, he can push his radical agenda by using Frye to whitewash the worst aspects of it (how bad can it be if Frye supports it?) and leverage her name to establish a base for mayor in 2012. Frye was burned by the Prop C and Francis losses and needs redemption. I guess she feels the enemy of my enemy is my friend. DeMaio is no Sanders supporter so let's build a new Gang of Five and go to war with the mayor rather than actually doing something to improve the lives of the people.
Frye supporters have told me that she's only using DeMaio to get elected President of the Council and then she'll let him go, but he's smarter than that.
It's too early to tell if this "reform agenda" has any substance other than jawboning but it doesn't look too promising from the get go. I just hope Donna wakes up soon.
I love how you guys try to spin this! After almost a year of slander, SD Politico probably freaked when they found out that "Big Bad DeMaio" really was pushing for nonpartisan reform at City Hall.
I guess the guy's more than just talk.
It's been frustrating for me, a liberal Democrat, to be happy to have Donna on Council. I alternate between thinking that she's smarter than she is given credit for, to thinking, ugh, she can't be that dumb, can she? I've been watching her since her 2001 special election in District 6 . And while I think she's basically a nice person, she gets so caught up in her reputation and how things appear, she has become an ineffective member of council. Her supporters love to talk about how she's on the outside, so she's awesome...what I see half the time is objecting for objections sake, and not really working towards any real solutions. She has made herself a bit irrelevant, and I see this as glomming onto the new guy to try to make herself relevant. What has she accomplished in her 7 years on council? With another 2+ to go?
I agree with Socrates's assessment that this appears to be a lopsided arrangement in favor of Carl. Donna has more to lose.
Everybody talks about reform, Sanders did and Francis did. DeMaio doesn't want to reform. Unless you define reform as limiting the city council to just issue proclamations and let the market provide everything from public safety to food inspection. We tried that, it was called the Gilded Age. Last time I checked it was when the market did run everything and corruption and cholera ran rampent in the cities and grueling child labor was the norm. According to DeMaio that was the golden age of America. Damn Teddy Roosvelt and Upton Sinclair for ruining it!!

Fox News host Tucker Carlson told YouTube host Dave Rubin "I lie" during a recent interview.
Recapped by The Guardian, Carlson told Rubin, "I guess I would ask myself, like, I mean I lie if I'm really cornered or something. I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don't – I don't like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.
"But to systematically lie like that without asking yourself why am I doing this? So if these people ask themselves, 'Why am I doing this?' And they say, 'Well, I want to protect the system because I really believe in the system.'"
During the chat with Rubin, Carlson also spoke on his time with CNN:
"They are not liberals. They are defenders of the powerful," he said. "Which is the much graver sin. You can have silly politics, I get it. I've had silly politics, maybe I do now. People make mistakes.
"But, defending the Billionaire class. Blaming everything on like working class white people, who are by far the most shafted people in America…"
Carlson and Rubin spoke for over an hour.

CNN Asks Florida Judge to Toss Out Donald Trump's Defamation Suit
Trump filed the lawsuit against CNN because he accuses the network of defaming his character during the 2020 Presidential Election.

Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against CNN in October; now, over a month later, the cable news channel is asking a judge in Florida to toss the case (h/t The Hill).
Trump filed the lawsuit against CNN because he accuses the network of defaming his character during the 2020 Presidential Election. Trump's attorneys argued CNN "has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a 'trusted' news source."
Additionally, Trump's lawyer says that CNN attempted "to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for '[getting] Trump out' in the 2020 presidential election."
CNN lawyers have pushed back against Trump's claims saying that the former president "seeks to silence any criticism of Plaintiff's debunked claim that the 2020 presidential election was 'stolen.'"
"Any alleged association resulting therefrom are also 'rhetorical hyperbole' and 'pure opinion' under well-established principles of defamation law," CNN's lawyers added.

Investor Cautions Over Possible Fox-News Corp. Merger
Irenic Capital, which owns about 2 percent of News Corp., has taken issue with its potential merger between Fox and News Corp.
Rumors have swirled over Fox and News Corp. possibly merging into one entity, but Irenic Capital, which owns about 2% of News Corp., has taken issue with its potential merger.
A merger would produce a more complicated company and turn off investors rather than increase the company's lagging stock price, Irenic Capital stated in a letter to the News Corp. board.
"And even if such synergies do exist today, they would principally benefit Fox and reside in the News Media segment of News Corp," Irenic Capital said (h/t Deadline). "For example, Fox Business may benefit from greater integration with The Wall Street Journal and some of Dow Jones' other properties, but it is highly debatable whether the benefits from such an association flow both ways.
"Combining News Corp with Fox will result in a combined company that is obviously more complex than both companies left separate."
Irenic believes a unification would aid Fox far better than News Corp. and cautioned that the board has a fiduciary responsibility to investigate all possible routes to develop value beyond the one suggested by its primary shareholder.
Fox News Lights All-American Christmas Tree
The event was hosted by Greg Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters

Fox News held its annual All-American Tree Lighting at FOX Square in New York, New York Monday during "The Five." The event was hosted by Greg Gutfeld, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters
In a release, the network said it partnered with the Police Athletic League (PAL) to host a toy drive benefiting New York City's youth. The network also honored first responders by selecting representatives of the FDNY and NYPD to light this year's tree.
Guests included FOX News personalities and their families along with first responders from the NYPD and FDNY, including members of NYPD Precinct 32, who lost Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera this year, and members of EMS Station 49, who lost EMS captain Alison Russo earlier this year.
FOX's All-American Christmas tree stands at 50 feet tall and is adorned by 12,000 ornaments and 340,000 lights. The tree has 500 branches, a star topper that is over six feet tall and more than four miles of cord wrapped throughout. Made in America, the tree features a patriotic theme of red, white, and blue decorations.
"After a busy year in America, it's nice to, let's just take a step back and celebrate traditions like this and remember how important it is to come together and focus on what truly matters," said co-host Dana Perino. "This tree is not just for us to enjoy. We want you watching at home to be able to come here and make Christmas memories with your family and friends and of course, your pets, too, of course, as you can imagine."

I'm going to be slaughtering a pig for a pig roast next week, and am trying to figure out the best time to do him in. I'll be killing, scalding, scraping, and eviscerating, then hanging him up to chill before delivery. The folks doing the actual roasting want the pig by 2:00 Thursday; they are roasting overnight (though I'm not sure exactly when they're starting) for an event Friday (evening, I assume).
The pig will be somewhere around 175 lb. live weight, give or take. I found a chart that says that rigor mortis onset in pigs is 6-12 hours, with resolution in 1-2 days. It is not clear if this is 1-2 days from slaughter, or 1-2 days from the onset of rigor.
Now for weather. Monday--high of 62, low of 47. Tuesday--high of 64, low of 50. Wednesday--high of 64, low of 50. Those are a little warm for comfort, though since we're not in the city our lows, at least, will likely be a few degrees cooler than stated. I've got a garage I can hang him in, to keep him out of the sun. I could throw a couple bags of ice in the cavity to keep him cool. I've also got a large used convenience store stand-alone refrigerator that ought to hold him, though he'd be a little scrunched.
So when should I slaughter the pig, taking into account all these variables? I want to kill him early enough for resolution of rigor before roasting, but not so early as to risk spoilage from the relatively warm weather. Thoughts?
Hi Wes; 60 + down to 45-50 F just seems to warm to safely hang pork for more than a day or at all... especially pork. When its that warm I start butcher deer and elk the next day and try to finish within 3 days max. I think you need that commercial fridge running . Packing ice inside might help start the cooling process. But I would get your piggy in that fridge asap. If you use the fridge butcher early and then you won't have to deal with how long rigor lasts. My personal guess is not long at all but I do not butcher my own hogs myself. EDIT; Now that I think about it, I have never noticed wild game having a rigor period ... I'm sure they must though... of course normally they are frozen by the next morning and we have to thaw them out to butcher. My opinion is that your selling this... so don't take chances , REFRIGERATE !
The recommended temperature is <45 degrees f for storage and or aging pork.
For the butchering the temps you listed are ok, just not ideal. Once you have gotten through the evisceration you will need to chill it down as quickly as is possible.
The rigor resolution is timed from the onset of rigor not death. The rigor will dissipate faster if you get it properly chilled quickly.
Like Thomas stated Get that hog chilled fast! If you don't have a way to chill the hog, you are just asking for trouble.
Also you should know you will be liable should anything happen to the people who eat that hog, since you are selling it butchered.
You are also opening yourself up to state litigation (all states have butchered meat for sale regulations) for selling without the proper licensing.
I sell pork on the hoof only, if someone wants a pig roast, they have to kill it themselves, keeps me out of trouble with the laws of Arkansas that way.
9 CFR 303.1 exempts the custom preparation of carcasses, meat or meat food products derived from the slaughter of cattle, sheep swine, goats or game animals from official inspection. However, custom operations are subject to sanitary inspection by the Missouri Meat and Poultry Inspection Program.
1.Livestock must be raised by the owner and delivered to the processing plant for custom preparation.
2.The custom prepared articles must be exclusively for use in the owner's household by members of his household, nonpaying guests and employees.
3.The custom-prepared products must be kept separate and apart from inspected products.
4.Immediately after preparation and until delivered to the customer, the carcasses or other prepared custom articles must be clearly marked "NOT FOR SALE."
1.Name and address of the customer.
2.Species and weight of animals slaughtered.
3.Kind and weight of items prepared.
This sounds a lot like Arkansas law, so be sure that pork won't give anyone a reason to notify the authorities.
Best of all, deliver it alive and let them do the work. The other option would be to get them to sign a waiver that states they know what they are getting into by buying non inspected meat, butchered in a non inspected situation.

Sven Groeneveld (* 22. července 1965 Haarlem) je nizozemský tenisový trenér a bývalý tenista. Ve dvouhře žebříčku ATP byl nejvýše klasifikován v srpnu 1986 na 826. místě.

Trenérská kariéra
Po US Open 1991 začal trénovat jugoslávskou hráčku Moniku Selešovou, ve spojení s jejím otcem. Během spolupráce se tenistka stala světovou jedničkou a vyhrála Australian Open 1992, než v první polovině téhož roku následoval rozchod. Po Wimbledonu 1993 jej oslovil majitel mezinárodní sportovní agentury IMG Mark McCormack, která zastupovala řadu tenistů a vlastnila síť akademií IMG, s koučováním jimi zastupovaných hráčů. V Barceloně se tak jeho svěřenkyní stala Španělka Arantxa Sánchezová Vicariová, která pod jeho vedením získala deblovou trofej na US Open 1993 s Helenou Sukovou a prohrála finále na Turnaji mistryň 1993 i na Australian Open 1994. V průběhu roku 1994 převzal vedení nad devatenáctiletou Mary Pierceovou, jíž vedl s Nickem Bollettierim do října 1995. V tomto období Francouzka vyhrála Australian Open 1995 a vystoupala na třetí místo žebříčku. K dočasnému obnovení spolupráce s francouzskou jedničkou došlo v sezóně 1997, kdy byla finalistkou Australian Open 1997 a opět v sezóně 2003.

Roku 1995 se jeho svěřencem stal wimbledonský šampion Michael Stich, který pod jeho vedením vyhrál dva turnaje ATP Tour a probojoval se do finále French Open 1996. Společně pracovali zejména na technice forhendu. Po podpisu smlouvy se švýcarským tenisovým svazem v roce 1997 pro funkci hlavního trenéra, vedl ve dvouměsíčním mezidobí do antukové a travnaté části sezóny Mary Joe Fernandezovou. Jako šéftrenér švýcarského svazu se sídlem v nově otevřeném bielském centru koučoval také juniora Rogera Federera.

V letech 1998 až 2000 připravoval Grega Rusedského, který se stal prvním britským vítězem turnaje v sérii Masters. Po vyřazení v úvodním kole Wimbledonu 2000 od Vincenta Spadey se jejich cesty rozdělili. Následovaly krátké spolupráce s Němci Nicolasem Kieferem a Tommym Haasem, než se opět spojil Rusedskim na období od ledna do listopadu 2002. V průběhu roku 2003 se jeho svěřencem stal chorvatský teenager Mario Ančić. Po US Open 2004 navázal spolupráci s Francouzkou Nathalií Dechyovou, jež trvala do prosince 2005. V jejím průběhu dosáhla grandslamového maxima postupem do semifinále Australian Open 2005 a danou sezónu zakončila na dvanácté příčce světové klasifikace.

Groeneveld se následně podílel na koučování tenistů smluvně vázaných s firmou Adidas, jakými byli Fernando Verdasco, Ana Ivanovićová, Caroline Wozniacká či Sania Mirzaová. Srbce Ivanovićové pomohl k postupu do finále Australian Open 2008 a k zisku jediného grandslamu na Roland Garros 2008. V závěru dané sezóny však partnerství ukončili a následně obnovili ve druhé polovině sezóny 2013. S Indkou Mirzaovou zahájil souběžně přípravu v březnu 2008 po boku jejího otce Imrana Mirzy, v době kdy ještě trénoval Ivanovićovou. Od sezóny 2014 se stal hlavním koučem Rusky Marie Šarapovové, která pod jeho vedením vyhrála sedm titulů včetně French Open 2014 a vrátila se na pozici světové dvojky. Rozchod oznámili po porážce ruské tenistky v úvodu březnového BNP Paribas Open 2018 v Indian Wells. Následně do ledna 2019 koučoval vítěze singlové i deblové juniorky US Open 2017, Číňana I-pinga Wua.

V květnu 2019 se jeho svěřenkyní stala Američanka Sloane Stephensová. Po nezdařilé letní sezóně na amerických betonech, kdy ve Washingtonu, D.C., Torontu a Cincinnati vyhrála jen jeden zápas, se dvojice rozešla v srpnu 2019. Pro sezónu 2020 se dohodl na vedení Japonce Tara Daniela.

I bought these strips and you use them for 14 days once a day. I am on my 12th day and they have done absolutely nothing. They are easy to use and stick really well to my teeth but they have not whitened my teeth at all. I am lucky that I have my receipt and the box so I will be sending for a refund.
I usually get the more expensive, "professional" crest white strips, and they are amazing! I bought these because they were on sale, and figured why not, "all credit products are usually great...wrong. These are horrible, they don't work, period.
I used to use the old version of white strips and now the no slip are terrible. They don't stick very well and when they are sticking its really hard to peel off your teeth. I use these once every 3/4 months and I don't think they are worth spending $40 for now.
I just got my braces off a few days ago and my original plan was to get veneers on two of my front teeth due to yellow spots I've always had. Since having my braces off I have used the Crest white strips the gentle line and I am shocked at how white my teeth are already. I am so impressed I don't feel like I need to get veneers now which will save me a dollar or two! So happy with my results and it's worth every penny! Thank you Crest for making my teeth look so good!
I bought this product not because I have sensitive teeth but because it was a more gentle option for teeth whitening. I used it as directed but did not see any results, too bad that I didn't keep my receipt long enough or the box either, otherwise I would have asked for my money back.
I agree with 3/3/17 review. Only purchased the 30 minute no slip Whitestrips because I couldn't find the 5 minute strips. I too had the same experience--had to rip (and scrape) off these 30 minute Whitestrips. I will never use these again and do not recommend. For many years I've used the the 5 minute Gentle Routine strips and never ever had a problem. These were great--easy to place on teeth and very, very easy to remove. Crest has lost me as a customer unless they BRING BACK 5 MINUTE GENTLE ROUTINE WHITESTRIPS.
Have used Gentle Routine Whitestrips for a number of years and have always been very happy with the product and the results. But I have to agree with the most recent reviews of the new 30 minute Whitestrips - not a good product nor would I recommend. The strips are too stiff and are not easy to place around the teeth. Also, the strips adhere a little too well - upon removing them it felt as though I was was ripping them off - like a bandaid! The previous product for sensitive teeth, the 5 minute Gentle Routine, was absolutely great! The strips were pliable and very easy to place on my teeth. Due to that pliability I was able to cover all parts of the tooth/teeth I was trying to whiten. Who can argue with a 5 minute treatment? They did a great job of whitening (not the "glow-in-the-dark" white some people prefer - rather a more natural white) and there was never any tooth/gum sensitivity. Please consider bringing back the very pliable, 5 minute Gentle Routine. Thank you!

Is Radio Prepared for The Future
In a lot of ways, the future is here, now.
All of the things we knew were coming back at the turn of the century have become reality.
But the radio industry continues to try to adapt.
Great Companies Don't Adapt, They Prepare
When I saw that headline on a blog article by Greg Satell two years ago, it resonated with me because it made me realize that the radio industry wasn't prepared for the 21st Century. It was trying to adapt the past to the present and hoping that it would sustain them going into the future.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to create the future by focusing on the present.
"The truth is," writes Satell, "that companies rarely succeed by adapting to market events."
"Firms prevail by shaping the future…but it takes years of preparation to achieve.
Once you find yourself in a position where you need to adapt, it's usually too late."
-Greg Satell
Marconi & Sarnoff
Each generation has its great innovators, so It's always a challenge to say who makes a greater contribution to changing the world.
Marconi gave us the wireless, a one-to-one form of communications that transformed the world.
Sarnoff innovated the radio as a form of mass communication, giving us a one-to-many instant communication service of news, entertainment and advertising supported radio.
What we can be certain of, each person who creates the future is one who overflows with boundless curiosity.
Investing in Research
All of the Big 5 Tech companies (Amazon, Facebook Microsoft, Google and Apple) invest heavily in research. Each of them, in their own way, has made themselves indispensable from our daily lives.
Recently, a daily newsletter I read called "While You Were Working," asked its readers which of the Big 5 Tech Companies they could survive without. Here are the results of that survey:
Which Big 5 tech company do you think it would be easiest to live without?
Facebook 70.71%
Apple 14.14%
Amazon 7.35%
Microsoft 5.74%
Google 2.06%
Probably not surprising that Facebook was the choice folks said they could live without by a wide margin.
For five weeks, Kashmir Hill, a writer for Gizmodo, decided to see how she would deal with giving up today's technology by blocking one of the Big 5 from her world. In her sixth and final week, she decided to go cold turkey and blocked them all. How did that go? Well I think the title of her article said it all, "I Cut the 'Big Five' Tech Giants From My Life. It Was Hell."
Hill compared her experience to that of an alcoholic trying to give us booze. And that life without them makes life very difficult as we are so dependent on them.
I'm not sure any of us really understands how married we are to these Big 5 Tech Companies or how hard it would be for us to give up even one of them, let alone to give them all up.
One of the interesting side-bars of the article Hill wrote was that by not having Alexa, Spotify audio books, podcasts or other such services on her Nokia feature phone, what she could receive, unlike with her iPhone, were radio broadcasts and that allowed her to listen to NPR while doing her daily run.
But how sad that listening to radio only seems to be an option when all other options are eliminated.
Investing in the Core Product
Some of the differences between the Big 5 Tech companies are what non-core areas they invest their research money into, like self-driving cars. The one thing they all take very seriously, however, is plowing the lion's share of their research budget into their core competencies.
In my sales class, I used to tell my students that people don't buy half-inch drill bits because they want them, they buy them because what they want are half-inch holes. In other words, you will be successful when you invest your time solving your customers' problems.
Radio Research
Most radio research dollars are spent on one thing, audience measurement. Unfortunately, that's research that studies the past performance of a radio station, not the present moment. Virtually no radio research money is spent on preparing the ground for the future.
We all know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next big thing. Alexa, in your Amazon Echo, is the perfect example.
How is the radio industry preparing its employees to acquire the skills they will need to excel in an AI world? Artificial Intelligence is a force that will impact the communications industry in the years to come.
Broadcasting has been living off of its seed corn for too many years, while the technology industries have been focused on solving our customer's problems by investing in them for years, even decades.
Broadcasters can't create the future by continuing to focus on the present.
Innovation, will require investment in research that, imagines new possibilities.

Radio's NOT Like it Used to Be
(Spoiler Alert: It never was, starting with day 2) When I hang out on social media – or imagine this, have a real face-to-face conversation – with my radio contemporaries that grew up listening to radio in the 60s & 70s, the conversation invariably turns to "radio's not like it used to be."
From the moment of its birth, radio has been one long experiment.
It took hold when Marconi International Marine Communication Company, Limited began to make money with wireless over-the-air transmissions. Marconi was in it for the money. He really cared little how it all worked. He wanted to build more powerful transmitters and cover greater distances. He didn't sell his technology but leased it. He also trained and employed the wireless operators who used his equipment.
So, imagine you're a wireless operator on Christmas Eve 1906 and you're at sea monitoring your dots & dashes – all that you've ever heard come through your headphones – when at 9 PM EST on Christmas Eve you suddenly hear a human voice coming through your headphones. Then singing. Then a violin playing. And finally a man speaks a Christmas greeting. What would you have thought to yourself?
The man who did this was Reginald Fessenden. In addition to being a brilliant scientist, he also sang and played the violin. From his transmitting station in Brant Rock, Massachusetts his first wireless transmissions of voice and music were heard up and down the Eastern seaboard. He would repeat this again on New Year's Eve.
In the United States the final commercial Morse code transmission was sent on July 12, 1999. The last message sent was the very same as the first message sent by Samuel Morse in 1844, "What hath God wrought", and the prosign "SK".
What brought this all to mind was a news item that has been circulating recently about a survey by Morgan Stanley that was released by Quartz.
The survey is a positive for radio. In a survey of 2,016 American adults taken last November, AM/FM radio use was #1 with 86%. Number two was YouTube, number three was Pandora and number four were "TV music channels".
The first four were all advertising supported and thus free to the user. The fifth on the list was also the first paid service; SiriusXM radio (tied with iHeartRadio).
So one thing that hasn't changed is that most people would rather access free-with-ads entertainment versus paid-without-ads entertainment when given a choice.
However, this survey has spurred a lot of discussion in the radio world. Broadcasters are divided on what this survey is really telling us. Owners/operators are saying that it shows "radio ain't dead." Broadcasters that have been consolidated out of the industry are saying "not so fast." And to some extent, they're both right.
As Mark Ramsey pointed out on his blog, "86% of respondents saying its part of their usage routine" is what radio folks would call "reach" and does not really address frequency of usage or "time spent listening;" two key radio metrics.
Conspicuously missing from the Morgan Stanley list is a service I use and enjoy TuneIn radio. I wonder why?
So where does that leave us?
I think it's a twist on one of Henry Ford's most famous quotes:
Whether you think radio is or is not, you're right.
Radio owners/operators have it within their power to create the future for the radio industry. So what's it going to be?

Watch The Incredible Hulk
"You'll like him when he's angry."
Being a child of the 70's I was fascinated with the television show The Incredible Hulk. Being a huge fan of Edward Norton films, I was doubly excited when the film version starring Mr. Norton arrived, combining the two. Edward Norton does not disappoint. Being a man of six feet tall, he has the uncanny ability to appear much smaller and frailer onscreen. He is phenomenal as Bruce Banner, seeming timid and controllable. The smallness of his voice and eye darts on screen remind the watcher that Banner is mostly just a nerdy scientist whose chemical experiment simply went horribly wrong.
Unlike a television series which has weeks to build up characters and plot lines, the film has to do so quickly and efficiently. They show the back story that Bruce was trying to remedy a condition that causes him to turn into the "Hulk", in all his green glory, every time Bruce's blood pressure rises over a certain level.
Bruce's concoction goes awry and it causes more harm than good, ultimately causing harm to his one love, Betty and even Betty's father. He goes into hiding and comes back into the lives of those he has harmed, yet loved, before.
At the same time as Bruce's longing to go back to his real life new characters are introduced into the mix such as Berry's new boyfriend, but most importantly the British soldier Blonsky, played superbly by Tim Roth. Blonsky, who is basically a solider at the end of the road career-wise has a chance meeting with Betty's father, Ross, who unknowingly gives Blonsky just what he needs -- a way to be an even stronger soldier, just when he thought he was past his prime. The addition of the evil Blonsky gives the film a superb twist and dark side that is a powerful kick to the already darker side of the Hulk. Both Bruce and Blonsky are looking for ways to right the "wrongs" they see in themselves, weakness, lack of control, etc. in any possible way they can, whether it causes destruction to themselves and others or not.
The modern day Incredible Hulk does a splendid job of paying homage to the original. Edward Norton's portrayal of Bruce rivals Bill Bixby's original. And the ability Norton has in always playing "dual" type roles never disappoints. He is exceedingly convincing in either capacity, whether he is timid or powerful, nerdy or simply just brawn. The newest version of this masterpiece is a powerful film that leaves the viewer revisiting parts of it in their mind for days afterward.

Brexit und was er für mittelständische Firmen aus dem Vereinigten Königreich bedeutet
Veröffentlicht am 11 Dezember 2017 18 Dezember 2017 Autor Stephan MuehlemannKategorien Industry news, Uncategorized, XaaSSchreibe einen Kommentar zu Brexit und was er für mittelständische Firmen aus dem Vereinigten Königreich bedeutet
2019 is lurking around the corner
The continuous stream of essays, articles and other publications plus the permanent news coverage about upcoming Brexit suggests that this is truly an event of unsurpassed magnitude for both the EU and the UK. Sometimes it looks like there is at least modest progress, but often enough this is being followed upon by an immediate setback. As problematic, bureaucratic and annoying the implications on workers and their families from EU countries – and vice versa – might be, the consequences for the economies and therefore for any company will be far greater.
In the past couple of months, there has been a steady exodus of highly-paid jobs in the finance industry from London to Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, Amsterdam and other European cities but this has mainly been a process driven by large corporations. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), however, have largely remained passive rather than taking active measures. The result of this passivity could be devastating.
Exit from Brexit?
Many mid-sized companies have either chosen to ignore upcoming Brexit or decided that there will be a "Soft Brexit" which would still enable the British economy to participate in the single market or – even more daring – that the Brexit will never happen and an "Exit from the Brexit" would render any escape scenarios or "Plan B's" useless. Not looking at the harsh reality as it starts to unfold in front of our very eyes is not only risky, for companies it means to possibly lose market share, deal with higher cost and added complexity as well as having to deal with a more bureaucratic process when doing business with the EU.
The truth for SMBs
The vast majority of SMBs in the UK export to the EU, and this is unlikely to change because selling to more distant markets is even more challenging for SMBs. According to the findings of a survey commissioned by the foreign exchange and payments business, OFX, SMBs from the UK are embracing Brexit as an opportunity at first, but when one digs deeper a more frightening truth emerges. The UK domestic market has weakened. According to the Quarterly Inflation Report (August 2017) published by the Bank of England the spending power of the UK's consumers is deteriorating. In the face of Brexit's uncertainty, employers are continuing to hold wages down and freeze investments. As a result, consumer spending is under further pressure which led the Bank of England to cut its growth forecast for 2017.
Should UK SMBs focus on New Markets rather than the European Union?
Many British SMBs have initially seen Brexit as an opportunity rather than as a threat and started to investigate overseas markets. In fact, as entrepreneurs tend to be optimistic about their own businesses, many British SMBs believe a break with the EU will leave their company better off or will have no impact altogether. Interestingly enough, the same SMBs are not at all optimistic when it comes to the future of the British economy as a whole – only 37 % see an improvement happening and less than half think the current British government around Prime Minister May has their interests at heart.
Now although a weakening British Pound against a strengthened Euro (but the British Pound is also getting stronger against the US Dollar) helps the export-oriented industry, one key threat remains: according to the Office for National Statistics a whopping 44 % of Britain's exports go to the EU – £220 bn. out of £510 bn. Recent analysis estimates the additional cost to Britain's exports at £4 – £6 bn. per year – in the best case as different market standards and regulations have not been priced in yet. Ma(n)y might hope for a last-minute free trade agreement but as the recent EU-Canada trade deal took 7 years to agree – a speedy agreement does not look all that realistic.
Let's highlight a couple of key concern areas:
Over the past 40 years, most companies have designed and implemented integrated supply chains based on rules which have been relatively clear and stable for decades. Those rules are – after Brexit – obsolete and need to be re-negotiated and re-established. A large part of the challenge actually lies in intermediate products. There is, for example, no British automotive industry and no British textile industry, but a European automotive industry and a European textile industry. Metals, camshafts, yarns and chemicals used for the textile industry, machinery, technical textiles, timing belts and so on are being used to either make intermediate products or finished and customer-ready products which are in return being sold in the UK, in the European Union or globally.
SMBs are facing a particular threat – they usually lack the financial firepower to simply redesign their existing supplier ecosystem. Also, in many cases, replacing a supplier who delivered high-quality products with a new one due to customs- or trade-related reasons could mean also endangering the quality of the finished product.
The consultancy company Bain & Co. has warned already 10 months ago that disruptions to supply chains could cut the profits of companies from British key industries by as much as 30 %.
The UK has been one of the most innovative countries in terms of the speed E-Commerce has introduced. According to a report by "the Global Retail E-mpire" the UK is far ahead in the penetration and internationalization of E-Commerce compared to countries such as Germany or France. Britain has, simply, been one of the leaders in online innovation and when the domestic retail market has stagnated, E-Commerce sales have grown steadily between 10 to 20 % per year. Fashion giants like Topshop have successfully transformed their cutting-edge approach to fashion into the online world and new players like Asos or Missguided have once again cemented the UK's reputation for fast-forward thinking in online innovation whereas UK-based incubators continue to pump new start-ups into the market. But as much of the revenue comes from sales to customers based in the European Union this success is likely to come to a halt. As many emerging markets such as Russia, Brazil and increasingly China started to contract or already shrunk due to economic or political reasons, access to the European Union's single market is crucial for the long-term success of British online retail, not only because of providing quick access to its vast market of more than a half a billion people but also because many sought-after highly talented employees can be sourced easily.
British key online players Next and Asos have already announced to build up warehouses in Germany in order to be prepared for the post-Brexit years. For most SMBs, however, simply investing tens of millions for a new distribution centre in Central Europe is unrealistic. As a result, many of British SMBs are somewhat paralyzed and have not planned for a solution on how to still access the EU single market after Brexit. What can be done? Apart from hoping that everything will turn out just fine and Brexit will either be smooth and pleasant or the EU will simply accept a free trade agreement with the UK without, for example, the free movement of people, there are a couple of options British SMBs can evaluate:
1. Set up your own distribution centre
Many large corporations have done this already or are planning to do so. Setting up your own distribution centre in a EU country enables you to control all processes, guidelines and simply speaking – puts you in control. The downside is a very high cost, potentially long development time frame and the need to build all the necessary skills yourself including a local and trustworthy management.
2. Set up a joint infrastructure
Finding like minded companies of a similar size or industry helps to reduce both cost and the need to invest in specialized skills while enabling SMBs to benefit from combined knowledge. On the other hand, reaching agreements on a joint strategy is not always easy.
3. Join a platform (XaaS)
Over the past couple of years an advancement of both technology and logistics have led to the creation of what is commonly known as "XaaS" or "Everything as a Service". XaaS platforms enable SMBs to grow modular and flexible whilst benefitting from professional skills. "XaaS"-modules such as "Operations-as-a-Service" can be a great way for British SMBs to do business in the EU without having to invest large sums of money but as they are more demanding in the way processes interlock they require a certain amount of preparation.
Brexit offers a handful of potential advantages to British SMBs such as faster access to global markets minus the "burden" of having to follow EU regulations. Many of these potential advantages could be nothing more than just wishful thinking as the difficulties in negotiating beneficial trade deals in the past months have already shown. Joining forces with like minded SMBs could be an interesting option for some whereas talking to providers of logistics and distribution platforms might be an option to consider for companies who have already well-structured and documented processes which simplifies the integration of third-party services. Running your own shop in the EU is the most costly but also the most flexible option.
Currently, the EU signed trade agreements with 57 countries – agreements which took years to prepare, negotiate and implement – a task which is monumental, in particularly considering the tight schedule. As the UK will have to negotiate dozens of trade agreements with different countries this means automatically doing business under standard WTO-agreements.
As the UK government continues to fail in convincing the voters in the UK about truly mastering the strategic challenge the UK is facing, British SMBs should analyse the situation carefully and look for independent advice which focuses on the economic reality rather than political or cultural bias.

Q: Compojure: lein-ring in production? It seems that people sugget the use of lein-ring for a no-brainer deploy of a Compojure application. Isn't it just meant for development? I've benchmarked the same app running with lein-ring vs packed by leiningen with uberjar (executed with java -jar, it contains ring-jetty).
To my surprise, the performance is even slightly better with lein-ring! Am I missing something?
How can i keep on using lein-ring but avoid printing out stacktraces in case of exceptions and avoid checking for modified files?
Thanks

A: lein-ring will allow you to readily produce a war file for deployment to a container (and serves as the basis for lein-beanstalk
 for easy deployment to Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk), but I'm not aware of a common practice of using it in production.  Certainly an option, but probably rarely the best one.  I'd recommend deploying using the methods recommended by your host / container; this will most often mean deploying a war (which lein-ring can be used to build) or using some variety of containerless deployment with an embedded Jetty instance (as on Heroku with Leiningen).
If you do want to use lein-ring in production but want to turn off its development-time capabilities (code reloading, stack trace rendering, etc), you must set the RING_ENV environment variable to production, e.g.:
export RING_ENV=production
lein ring ...

A: lein-ring is a development only tool. Of course the way you package and deploy your application will have an impact on performance. Are you actually comparing apples to apples here?
I have found significant differences in lein-ring and even just an embedded jetty deployment.
This being said, with lein-ring you miss out on a ton of stuff. Putting your application in a proper container will allow for a lot more in terms of opertional support and monitorability.

Ed Miliband is opposed to the Pfizer takeover of AstraZeneca. I do not recall if in 1999 he also opposed Zeneca's takeover of Sweden's Astra or the location of its US operation to low-tax Delaware. But with a slump in his poll rating and 64% of Britons reportedly against the Pfizer deal, chauvinism clearly trumped free trade, and to hell with hypocrisy.
The ideological mood of Miliband's approach to government is becoming clear, everywhere a return to state intervention. This is intended to open "clear red water" between himself and the Tories. In the past six months Labour's leader has advocated controls on energy prices and private rents. He will intervene in the labour market against zero-hours contracts and in favour of a living wage. He will nationalise local housing land, in effect confiscating land from developers "who just hoard it".
Miliband displays a French enthusiasm for state corporatism. He will ban foreign takeovers if "against the national interest". He will reform the entire banking sector and even proposes "a network of regional banks across Britain" – of uncertain ownership. He has mooted rail renationalisation, evoking dreams of low fares and pre-Beeching branch lines. He intends to slap yet more cement on the crumbling monolith of the NHS by micro-managing surgery waiting times.
In Birmingham last month Miliband gave the traditional opposition leader's speech on why he is a true localist. He wants to restore power to local government and "the people". But even here, where he could have the coalition on the run and local Labour parties crying for freedom, he would say only that "the biggest economic devolution of power to England's great towns and cities in a hundred years" would come with conditions. There was no mention of devolving tax-raising powers, only of slashing business rates. Cities could "access central resources" only if they showed "stronger political governance to drive economic leadership". Tony Blair's localism speech in 1997 at least offered elected mayors, which he half-heartedly introduced.
Even the stalest pizza has a few good nibbles. There is something to be said for regional rail nationalisation. Housing land desperately needs a new approach. Tax relief for "living wage" employers is ingeniously extravagant. As for tentative devolution to city regions, Miliband's proposal may be Augustinian – "make me localist, but not yet" – but it is at least better than none.
On the other hand there are policies where Miliband, as a former energy secretary, cannot hope to be convincing. He left the country so under-invested in power stations as to bequeath a generating capacity margin down to 2%. Ofgem states that it needs over £100bn worth of new capacity by 2030. Yet just the prospect of a Labour price freeze has driven away both domestic and foreign investors. There is just one new station under construction. This is crazy intervention.
Meanwhile presenting AstraZeneca as a British treasure threatened with purchase by a dastardly foreigner is beyond silly. The company is not a Van Dyck portrait but the cobbled-together home base of a globalised pharmaceuticals industry. It swallowed many small fry itself and is run by a Frenchman and a Swede (while Pfizer's challenge is led by a Brit, Ian Read).
The business secretary, Vince Cable, has Miliband's support in running a low corporation tax regime in Britain to attract foreign investors. Yet when they come, Cable howls, "I don't want Britain to be a tax haven". In that case, stop being a tax haven and don't fix corporation tax at American levels.
Britain's car industry was a disaster when run domestically, under constant state interference. Foreign ownership has meant that within two years it should make more than 2m cars, beating its last record production year, 1972. Free trade works.
Miliband is not without supporters. When Labour's elder statesman, Alan Johnson, was asked about his leader's stance on energy, housing and banking, he said: "I don't think he has gone far enough." Of the Blairites' love affair with the City, Johnson added: "The 'comfortable with the filthy rich' time has gone." The Guardian letter on Labour's manifesto from 19 thinktankers was at least clear on this: amid all the waffle about sustainable and holistically transformative policies, they wanted no "playing safe". The same message comes from Miliband's radical policy chief, John Cruddas.
Yet just as the right lost its ideological way after the 2008 crash, so it appears did the left. The idea of returning to an old Labour platform is hardly radical. Here a voice of caution comes from the surviving Blairite, Caroline Flint, who warns (in Prospect magazine) against price freezes and one-size-fits-all policies. "We should campaign as we intend to govern," she says. If hoping that the coalition will implode of its own ineptitude was always a high risk, so too is going forward by going backwards.
The excitement that Blair and Gordon Brown were able to generate among the electorate in the mid-1990s was strategically shrewd. It involved understanding and exploiting the appeal of the prevailing Thatcherism, an appeal that had led John Major in 1992 to the largest popular vote in history (over 14m). Blair cunningly concealed his enthusiasm for Thatcherism with a new Labour rebranding, privatising and freeing markets where even she had feared to tread.
Whatever the reason for the current Tory surge – the predictable benefit of economic recovery – Miliband must find a contrasting narrative. Most serious, he must show he has a route map through the policy morass that followed 2008. The credit crunch may have delighted the left in proving that liberating markets and indulging banks can herald catastrophe. But how to regulate those markets without killing the golden geese remains as elusive as ever. It is still the central challenge of modern western government.
Miliband is an unknown quantity to most voters and it shows in his poll ratings. Some facets of a politician's personality are beyond correction, and his carping, undergraduate tone of voice and wooden presentation seem irredeemable. But a Labour leader can at least dictate his own programme. While Miliband's "cost-of-living crisis" is losing traction as wages begin to overtake prices, he should be able to capitalise on the chaos of many coalition policies, such as education, planning, local government and the environment. Every day offers him a new open goal.
Above all, Miliband has yet to give an intelligent indication of how a Labour government would discipline modern capitalism and fashion a modern welfare state. All we get at every turn is a default into more intervention. Surely Labour's path to post-Blair cannot be to pre-Blair.

Q: comparing edittext input to string array Im new, so sorry if my question is lame.
But, im trying to make an AI chatbot (like, a simpler version of cleverbot that responds to certain input keywords.)
I have an edittext panel, which the user will input words to 'talk' to the AI. But, instead of coding every word in the java file, i want to compare the string input to an existing string array to check if the keyword is there and so that the AI can display the coressponding answer.
example:

if input is: Hellothere!
and on the string array, there is: Hello.

and:

If edittext=Hello, then display this: blah blah.

Here is my (amateurish) code:
  public void onClick(View v){

        Resources res = getResources();
       String[] usernames = res.getStringArray(R.array.input2);
     boolean submit_check = input1(wordy, usernames);
       public boolean input1(String wordy, String[] input2){

           if(candidate.equals(usernames))
           {

               wahh.start();
           myString = res.getStringArray(R.array.OUTPUT);
           pic.setImageResource(R.drawable.keel);
            String q = myString[rgenerator.nextInt(myString.length)];
            display.setText(q);
           }

           else{
               wahh.start();
               pic.setImageResource(R.drawable.keel);
               myString = res.getStringArray(R.array.OUTPUT);
            String q = myString[rgenerator.nextInt(myString.length)];
            display.setText(q);
           }

A: I think what you want is something more along the lines of this (pseudocode):
if(EditText.getText().Contains("Hello")) {
    EditText.setText("What's up?");
}

You'd want to check if it contains a selection from the array though. If it does, get the index of the array. Based on the index, respond accordingly. The easiest way to do that would be using a for loop and a switch statement. Although AI is actually a lot more complicated than this, and my knowledge.

The Zoo That Puts People In Moving Cages While Animals Roam Free
educateinspirechange
As a child, I never liked zoos or circuses because I couldn't understand what was so fun in watching caged and humiliated animals. Now, as an adult, I believe that animal captivity is wrong to the core since other species have the same rights for life and freedom as we do.
There's been much debate on the animal captivity lately, and it makes sense why – keeping wild creatures in cages is inhumane, to say the least. Just think about it – not only have we deprived other living beings of their natural habitats by harming the environment, but we also dare to imprison them for our own amusement.
It seems that a zoo in China has found an unusual way to bring people closer to the wildlife without caging animals.
As many zoo's around the world are closing, others are finding new ways for humans to see the worlds animals. There is one zoo in particular that has found an exciting solution to bringing people closer to the wildlife without caging the animals.
This zoo, called The Lehe Ledu Wildlife Zoo, located in China, gives people the opportunity to see wild creatures roaming free. Instead of the animals being confined to small cages, the people are. Visitors get driven through the park in a caged vehicle while the world's most ferocious predators, including Bengal tigers, white tigers, lions, and bears stalk them like prey.
But that's not all. This zoo is special because the cages the visitors are riding in have bait attached to them. There are chunks of meat, even whole chickens, tied to the outside of these moving cages in order to attract the animals.
There are even small openings around through which people can feed the exotic beasts. At this zoo, instead of viewing the animals from a safe distance, they are extremely close and practically eating from the palm of your hand.
Chan Llang , the zoo spokeswoman, explains:
"We wanted to give our visitors the thrill of being stalked and attacked by the big cats but with, of course, none of the risks. The guests are warned to keep their fingers and hands inside the cage at all times, because a hungry tiger wouldn't know the difference between them and breakfast."
People are loving it. The concept is bringing in local Chinese tourists from all over the country as well as international tourists. The zoo is always sold out of tickets.
Visitor Tao Jen said:
"It's nothing like I've ever experienced in a zoo before. We're not looking at them, they're looking at us – and we're lunch."
What do you say…would you like to experience the thrill of the hunt and see things from the prey's perspective?
If we have added value to your life and you want to support us and become more involved with what we do you can now become an

Wire thefts are risky, costly and persistent
Thieves undeterred despite lower value of pilfered metal
Fri., Sept. 14, 2012
By Scott Maben scottm@spokesman.com(509) 459-5528
Semitruck tire rims stolen from salvage yard
Thieves are creeping down country roads at night cutting copper wire from power poles to sell on the scrap market, leaving hazards for line crews, headaches for utility managers and higher electricity bills for customers.
The larceny is nothing new, but it persists even after metal prices have dropped this year. The risk some take to steal the highly conductive, recyclable metal is, well, shocking.
"They're not getting a lot of money for the damage they're doing," said Shawn Dolan, manager of engineering at Kootenai Electric Cooperative, based in Hayden.
"It's just an unbelievable waste," added Pat Osborn, supply chain supervisor at Inland Power & Light Co., a rural electric co-op serving areas outside Spokane.
Thieves are getting more brazen in stealing metal from utilities, even at the risk of serious injury or death.
Some cut down live lines, others scale substation fences to pilfer equipment that can kill at the touch, said Dan Kolbet, communications manager for Avista Utilities.
"In the substation, it's scary dangerous for the folks doing it, because if they cut the wrong wire they're dead in about that fast," Kolbet said, snapping his fingers.
Kootenai Electric recently discovered copper grounding wire missing from about 60 of its poles in rural areas north and south of Coeur d'Alene. The total amount of copper taken would net only about $200 in the current scrap metal market.
But it will cost the utility around $10,000 to replace the ground wires, Dolan said. And because insurance doesn't cover the loss, the ratepayers will foot the bill.
Meanwhile, the missing wire – about 7 feet was removed from the bottom of each pole – poses serious problems for the utility and its customers, he said.
Without the complete ground wire in place, line crews lack a safety ground to tie into when working on the poles. Also, if a storm or car wreck brings down a pole, the live wires may not de-energize properly. Further, improperly grounded power lines may cause voltage fluctuations that damage home electronics.
"For 200 bucks, what they're doing is risking our workers' safety, their lives. They could kill a lineman," Dolan said. "They're also potentially damaging other people's electrical appliances."
Avista copes with constant theft in its power system, including removal of the neutral wire that runs below the main electrified lines.
In Deer Park, thieves cut and stole more than 24,000 feet of this wire in July and August alone, leaving dangling ends of live wire within anyone's reach, Kolbet said. The utility crews in that area have begun scheduling themselves to repair the damage every few days, he said.
"It's a common occurrence, and it's not slowing down much," Kolbet said.
Avista also has seen copper wire stolen from four substations in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene areas in the past year. The latest incident was last week at a substation near Spokane Falls Community College. A crew inspecting operational problems there the morning of Sept. 5 found that ground wire had been snipped and stolen from several spots in the substation.
"We had to take that substation offline, which caused a power outage for 3,600 customers for about an hour and a half," Kolbet said.
Repairs took most of a day to complete as power was rerouted to those customers, he said.
The price of scrap copper has fallen but remains fairly strong, said Jim Schrock, owner of Earthworks Recycling in Spokane.
Almost two years ago Schrock was paying $3.30 a pound for large quantities of "bright and shiny" copper, meaning it's stripped of insulation and shows no oxidization. Today he pays about $2.75 for the same material.
But even at the higher prices, it's puzzling why thieves go to all the trouble and take the risks they do for relatively modest gains, said Osborn at Inland Power.
"That's what amazes us more than anything," he said. "You look at minimum wage in Washington, and these guys could work an eight-hour shift and make quite a bit more."
Utilities are trying to thwart the thieves. When possible, Avista replaces stolen neutral wire with aluminum stranded wire, which lacks the resale value of copper. And starting late last year, the utility began securing steel plates about 10 feet high over the ground wire running down power poles to shield the copper from thieves.
Inland Power is spending more on monitoring and security systems.
"That's really one of our challenges. Our system is considered very rural," Osborn said. "There's a lot of places that people could be out there stealing stuff, and it would go undetected for months or years in some situations."
And once it's stolen, copper wire is difficult to track back to the owner.
"It's not like when your house is robbed you can call a pawn shop and say, 'Hey, watch out for my Mickey Mantle baseball,' " Kolbet said.
At Earthworks Recycling, one of about a dozen scrap metal buyers in Spokane County, Schrock turns away sellers who raise red flags.
"We probably kick out six to 10 people a week. We basically say don't come back and tell all your friends not to come in, because they're acting squirrelly or they're on a list where they've been convicted of crimes, or they're trying to skirt the metal law."
That 5-year-old Washington law to deter metal theft requires recyclers to record more information about sellers and to hold payments of more than $30 for 10 days. Drug addicts who steal to feed their habit typically want their cash up front.
A similar 2009 law in Idaho also requires scrap dealers to collect seller information but does not impose a waiting period for payment.
Although no fan of the extra paperwork, Osborn thinks it might be better to extend the waiting period to all scrap metal sales in Washington. That would discourage crooks who split their loot into small piles to sell at multiple recyclers, he said.
Still, the thieves are persistent and may take their hauls to other states with more lenient restrictions, he said.
"The guys that are stealing locally, they're relentless," Osborn said. "They're just out there every day stealing stuff."
