Road Map for a Clean Energy Revolution
The United States has the technology to end its reliance on coal, repower the nation with renewable energy, and slash its carbon dioxide emissions by more than 80 percent by 2050 – one of President Obama's goals. It just has to stop dragging its feet and put that technology to use.
That's the crux of a study released today by the European Renewable Energy Council and Greenpeace. It offers a road map for developing energy independence and a low-carbon, fossil fuel-free economy based on three simple principles:
No. 1: Stop wasting energy.
No. 2: Drop coal like the dirty power source it is and repower the nation with renewable energy, using natural gas as a bridge to that future.
No. 3: Start writing strong policies based on science.
The coal industry will be quick to point out that the up-front cost of phasing out coal and repowering the nation with renewable energy will be higher than continuing businesses as usual.
However, the study notes that the investment quickly pays off. By 2030, following the renewable energy-based Energy [R]evolution Scenario [1] would save the nation half what it would have spent if it continued to pump money into the coal industry, and it would create more jobs in the process.
One reason for the long-term cost of coal – and another reason to start shifting policies and attitudes toward renewables now – is the aging of the U.S. coal plant fleet. The average coal-fired power plant in the United States right now is 44 years old. About half of all coal plants are retired by age 50, and 92 percent are retired by age 60, according to analysis by Energy Velocity.
Continuing to rely on coal as those plants deteriorate will require either building new power plants, which will pollute for another 60 years, or patching up old plants as they break down and fall out of compliance with strengthening environmental regulations. New Hampshire's Merrimack Station power plant [2] is a prime example. PSNH won a permit this week to begin installing mercury scrubbers in the 41-year-old plant at a cost of $457 million – and those scrubbers might not keep the plant in compliance for long.
With so many power plants hitting retirement in the next 10 years, utilities will soon have to make the choice between fossil fuels and renewable energy. To help them make that decision, the German Aerospace Center, which conducted the Energy [R]evolution study, crunched the fuel costs of both scenarios over time and determined:
"The additional costs for coal fuel from today until the year 2030 would be as high as $2.3 trillion under the reference scenario [business as usual, as estimated by the IEA]. This savings alone would cover the entire investment in renewable and cogeneration capacity required to implement the Energy [R]evolution Scenario. ... Because renewable energy has no fuel costs, the total fuel cost savings in the Energy [R]evolution Scenario is nearly $2.1 trillion."
Which route the country's investors, states and utilities choose will depend on policy. A carbon cap with emissions trading will spur private investments in renewable energy. Plowing money into coal-supporting proposals, such as developing carbon capture and sequestration, will encourage the continued burning of coal.
The easiest and quickest step toward a more sustainable future is being smarter about the way people and businesses use energy.
The Energy [R]evolution Scenario estimates that cutting energy use with such actions as improving insulation in homes and buildings, replacing old appliances with energy efficient ones, and using technology and incentives to track and stop energy waste could cut U.S. energy demand by about 24 percent by 2050, compared to an expected increase of 40 percent by 2050 if nothing changes.
For example, if the federal government expanded its home weatherization program nationwide, it could cut energy use sucked up by home heating and cooling systems by 30 percent – and save $1.50 for every $1 invested, according to the study.
Expanding public transit and scrapping low-gas-mileage vehicles for electrics and plug-in hybrids could cut the transportation sector's energy demands by 40 percent by mid-century.
The second part of the plan, repowering with renewables, will take several years to build up, which is why the study suggests phasing out coal, oil and nuclear, while keeping natural gas as the primary bridge to the future.
There's no question that the country has the potential to switch to renewable energy. Five states – the Dakotas, Kansas, Montana and Texas – have enough wind energy potential to power the entire country. Hypothetically, solar thermal plants covering 9 percent of Nevada could do the same thing. The study suggests that if the U.S. invests $2.8 trillion between now and 2030: Wind power could grow from just over 20 gigawatts to nearly 400 GW by 2050; solar photovoltaic power could be boosted to over 500 GW; geothermal, wave and biomass capacity could near 300 GW.
A shift toward decentralized power, improved battery and storage capacity, and cogeneration would make electricity as efficient as possible, the study suggests. Decentralized power is generated locally and distributed using local networks rather than the high voltage transmission systems. In cogeneration, waste heat from power plants is piped into nearby buildings.
"All we need to kick-start this plan is bold energy policy from world leaders," said Sven Teske, Greenpeace International's senior energy expert and a co-author of the Energy [R]evolution Scenario.
Here are the actions the study's authors recommend for the United States:
Launch a national cap-and-trade program capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the levels recommended by science.
End all subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
Set mandatory efficiency standards for all appliances, buildings and vehicles.
Set mandatory targets for renewable energy generation.
Reform the electricity markets by guaranteeing renewable power has access to the grid.
Provide defined and stable returns for investors, such as feed-in tariffs.
Implement consumer transparency measures to provide more information about the energy they use and the impact it has.
Increase funding for research and development of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Under the Energy [R]evolution Scenario [1]'s recommendations, the annual CO2 emissions per person in the United States would drop from about 18.6 tons now to 2.1 tons by 2050.
The plan is bold, but its interim goal of cutting emissions 12 percent below 1990 level by 2020 still falls short of the IPCC's recommendation [3] that the industrialized world cut its emissions at least 25 percent by 2020. The IPCC made that recommendation two years ago, before it had the latest scientific evidence showing that the rate of global warming is increasing faster than previously believed.
Greenpeace supports the IPCC's goal, said Steven Biel, head of the group's U.S. Global Warming Campaign. But he notes that after a decade of delay in Washington, "It's going to take some time to get the U.S. back on line."
Other countries are proving that it can be done. Today, Sweden [4] strengthened its 2020 goal. It initially planned to cut emissions to 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 – now it's shooting for a 40 percent cut. It also plans for half of its energy to come from renewable sources by 2020, and for its vehicles to be fossil-fuel free by 2030.
As the study points, out:

The bosses of Netflix disappointed investors by announcing they expected to sign up only 2m international subscribers to the video-streaming service in the current quarter. That compares with 4.5m in the first quarter and about 2.4m in the second quarter of 2015. They blamed a challenging comparative period that saw the roll out of the service in Australia and New Zealand.
The news came hours after Amazon revealed it would, for the first time, offer a separate subscription to its rival service, Amazon Instant Video. It was previously bundled with its Amazon Prime two-day shipping service. The e-commerce titan may be looking to sap Netflix's momentum: it recently launched in 100 new markets and has earmarked $5bn (£3.5bn) to spend on content in 2016. However, Slate highlights survey data showing 62 per cent of Amazon Instant Video users subscribe to Netflix, suggesting the two are complementary rather than substitutes.
Our chart shows the rapid growth in Netflix's overseas subscribers in the past three years, but suggests it could be tailing off despite the company's aggressive expansion.

Two billionaire charter school advocates stirred up California's gubernatorial race by pouring a total of $8.5 million into an independent expenditure campaign supporting former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
"Antonio Villaraigosa will be a governor for all Californians, keeping the American dream possible in California with good schools, safe neighborhoods, affordable health care, and opportunities for everyone to succeed," said Gary Borden, executive director of the charter schools group.
Hastings and Broad are longtime supporters of Villaraigosa, who was a union organizer early in his career but tangled with teachers unions as Los Angeles mayor from 2005 to 2013. The fact that they would donate to help his campaign is not a surprise, but the size of their contributions raised eyebrows.
That kind of money would be enough to launch TV ads for Villaraigosa in what has been a quiet campaign. By law, independent expenditure groups such as the charter school association cannot coordinate activities with a candidate's campaign. A spokeswoman for the group declined to say how it intended to spend the money.
"What it means is that Antonio is in trouble," said Jaime Regalado, professor emeritus of political science at California State University Los Angeles, who predicted that the contribution would trigger the start of TV ad wars. "Even though the charter schools were going to help him eventually, nobody expected the race to be this tight or that the charters would have to come in this early and with this much money.
"This may help him get into second place, because I don't think the Republicans will be able to match that kind of money," Regalado said.
Newsom is leading most polls, while his fellow Democrat Villaraigosa is fighting it out with Republican John Cox, a Rancho Santa Fe (San Diego County) businessman, for second place, according to a nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California survey this month. Only the top two finishers in the June 5 primary, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general election in November.
Villaraigosa's campaign had $5.9 million in the bank at the end of 2017, the most recent campaign finance disclosure period. Newsom had $19.5 million.
"You knew it was going to happen. Here you have entrenched political interests where there are billions of dollars at stake," said state Treasurer John Chiang, who has been mired deep in the polls behind Newsom, Cox and Villaraigosa.

Comics are irresistible, enduring and a deeply personal part of our lives. We read comic strips in newspapers today with the same enthusiasm as we did when we were losing our milk teeth and popping our pimples. But we're also at an age where we can scrutinize comics from a different angle – that of a content marketer.
Whether you're a business, an independent blogger or you write in your leisure time, an investigation into the best practices and strategic tools used by writers and publishers can be enlightening. We've compiled some content marketing lessons from popular comics that small and big businesses will find useful.
A punchy narrative keeps readers hooked to the action and adventure. Comic strip and book writers may edit and revise their narrative multiple times before publication.
Your blog post cannot always tell a story, but it can be paced to sustain readers' interest from the introductory paragraph till the conclusion. You can use story-telling elements such as surprise, discovery and suspense to keep readers engrossed.
Statements like these are comic gold. They elicit emotions: pity, anger, mirth or hope, just to name a few. An emotional connection with a character and his/her life is essential for reader loyalty.
An anecdote, a conflict or an accusation (nothing that can get you into legal trouble) are some ways to add drama to your blog post or social media post. It immediately establishes a connection with your audience and keeps them hooked to your piece.
Some comics are so visually spectacular that they can tell stories with minimal textual content. Moon Knight, The Age of Reptiles, and Shaolin Cowboy are some examples of stunning comics art.
Visual content marketing has taken off in a big way. It may have to do with the fact that humans have a shorter attention span than goldfish. We are also able to interpret visuals much more quickly than we can do words. Visuals such as images, videos, memes and infographics also make a blog post more dynamic and engaging.
When they first started, Marvel Comics created characters that were relatable to their teenage audience. Famous examples include the nerdy and awkward Peter Parker/Spider-Man and the angry and misunderstood Hulk. As their audience matured, Marvel introduced complex characters such as the very philosophical Silver Surfer and dealt with darker themes. Today's Marvel movies are enjoyed as family entertainment. In a nutshell, Marvel did a good job of staying relevant and in tune with their audience's evolving needs and interests.
Analyze your audience when composing your blog topics, and adapt your messages to their needs and goals. Try to anticipate what they want before they realize it themselves, and capture their imagination with carefully-tailored messages.
Did you know that the Marvel Universe has more than 45,000 characters? Characters from one comic are sometimes interwoven into the storyline of another comic. This creates interest in characters that readers may not know, and gives them a means to explore the broader superhero world of Marvel.
As a content marketer, you have the flexibility to link to different pieces of your branded content, such as linking to your case study from your blog post or promoting your infographic in one of your how-to videos on YouTube. Such a multi-tiered approach can nudge your target audience deeper into your brand universe and help in both building and sustaining front-of-mind-awareness.
The dialogues and internal dialogues in a comic book are expressed in sound bites. Sound bites are pithy and impactful. With limited white space, they need to be. The short sentences get the point across quickly to readers and maintain the story's pace. They also stay with you and the best ones become quotable (even iconic, such as 'With great power comes great responsibility' and 'I cannot preach hate and warfare when I am a disciple of peace and love').
Focus on brevity when writing your blog posts, so readers can consume your content more easily. Where possible, use bullet points, quotes and sound bites to serve up crisp and concise content that stays with your readers for a long time.
Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion and knowledge, said Plato. If comics didn't operate on emotions, they wouldn't have such a dedicated fan base. Emotional conflicts and stakes are an integral part of quite a few comics, at least the superhero kind. In fact, superhero therapy is actually being used by some therapists to help patients express and get in touch with their emotions.
There is also scope for businesses to create an emotional connect with their audience. Audience research and personas are fundamental to put this strategy into practice. By interacting with your audience, listening to their conversations on social media, and encouraging two-way communication, you can understand what people like about your brand. Use this information to create an emotionally engaging branded content across the board that resonates with your audience and influences their behavior.
Though comics are released on a weekly, monthly or fortnightly basis, there are specials, re-issues and collected comics that repurpose content. Besides creating original content, comic book writers may curate content from their older stories to start off from where a story had stopped or explore an important theme from a previous saga.
Naturally, only some of your branded content can be evergreen. But there isn't any reason why you cannot use your existing content more than once or present it in new ways on new platforms. Maybe collate a number of relevant blog posts into an ebook that you can either sell or provide for free on your site?
Use content curation apps to discover and repurpose content. Look at it as an opportunity to enhance content by providing different perspectives or combining different studies and adding your own commentary for originality.

At the Law Offices of Morgan & Kelley, we are always happy to find that our client have invested a few dollars in uninsured and underinsured motorist protection. It has been estimated that roughly one in three California motorists either have no insurance or the insurance they have is insufficient. If you are injured as a result of a collision with one of these drivers, uninsured motorist protection is the key to recovering full compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages.
If you were struck by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, and your auto insurance policy includes uninsured motorist protection, your policy will cover your medical expenses — even if you weren't driving your car. You may have been injured in a pedestrian, bicycle, or motorcycle accident, you may have been driving a rental car, or you may have been a passenger in another person's auto.
In a successful motor vehicle accident injury claim, the lawyer has accomplished three goals: proving fault, identifying resources, and establishing the full value of the client's loss. At our Redding firm, attorney Art Morgan has done exactly that, serving clients throughout the Northern California Area for over thirty years. If you would like to speak with Mr. Morgan about a car accident claim involving an uninsured motorist, please call (530) 221-8150 or e-mail our Redding office to arrange a free consultation.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario ran a full slate of candidates in the 1999 provincial election, and elected 59 members in 103 constituencies to win a majority government.  Many of these candidates have their own biography pages; information on others may be found here.

Chris Loreto (Trinity—Spadina)

Loreto was a 22-year-old political science student at the University of Toronto during the election.  He was a New Democratic Party supporter and election worker before 1993, when he joined the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (Toronto Star, 7 May 1999).  He received 7,323 votes (20.50%), finishing third against New Democratic Party incumbent Rosario Marchese.

Loreto later worked in the office of the provincial Attorney-General (Canada NewsWire, 2 March 2001, 17:24 report).  He is now a director of the Conservative Party of Canada party association in Etobicoke—Lakeshore.  During the 2006 federal election, he complained that aboriginal issues were not being addressed (Toronto Star, 7 January 2006).

Michael C. Rohrer (Windsor—St. Clair)

Rohrer was 28 years old at the time of the 1999 election (Windsor Star, 1 June 1999).  He holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science degree from the University of Windsor.  He owned a lawn care business while in university (Windsor Star, 3 June 1995), and was named to the Appraisal Institute of Canada in 1994.

He attended the federal Progressive Conservative Party's leadership convention in 1993, and was a vocal opponent of Kim Campbell's leadership bid.  At the time, Windsor lawyer and prominent organizer Tory Bruck Easton was described by the local press as Rohrer's political mentor (Windsor Star, 11 May 1995).

Rohrer contested in Windsor—Walkerville in the 1995 provincial election and received 3,610 votes (14.50%), finishing third against Liberal candidate Dwight Duncan. He worked as a political staffer to the Progressive Conservative caucus from 1995 to 1998, before returning to Windsor to work as a professional real estate appraiser.

In 1999, he received 7,241 votes (18.78%) in the redistributed Windsor—St. Clair constituency.  He again finished third against Duncan.  Rohrer supported Tom Long's bid to lead the Canadian Alliance in 2000, and was co-chair of Long's campaign organization in Essex County and Chatham-Kent (Windsor Star, 12 May 2000).

He was appointed to the Ontario Assessment Review Board in 2000 by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris.

In 2004, Rohrer wrote a letter to the Windsor Star in which he criticized Bruck Easton for refusing to support the newly formed Conservative Party of Canada.  He described Easton as a "former friend" (Windsor Star, 19 June 2004).

David McCamon (Windsor West)

McCamon was a 33-year-old Ford Motor Company autoworker in Windsor at the time of the election.  He had previously done organization work for the Reform Party of Canada (Windsor Star, 6 May 1999).

When the results were announced, he commented, "This whole election has gone exactly as I expected.  We have a PC majority with a LIberal in Windsor-West. It's not a surprise, it's not a disappointment. I think we did the best campaign we could with the money and resources we had" (Windsor Star, 4 June 1999).

McCamon sought a federal Canadian Alliance nomination in 2000, but was defeated.  He was appointed to the Windsor Police Services Board in 2002, and served until 2004 (Windsor Star, 29 November 2002 and 30 November 2004).

Clin Sci (Lond) 1 December 2000; 99 (6): 541–546. doi: https://doi.org/10.1042/cs0990541
Adrenomedullin is a vasodilator peptide produced in various organs, including heart and kidney. A novel adrenomedullin receptor complex has recently been identified, namely the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor-activity modifying protein (RAMP) 2. In the present study, we have examined gene expression of RAMP2, CRLR and adrenomedullin in hearts and kidneys of rats with congestive heart failure caused by coronary artery ligation. Partial cloning was performed to determine the rat RAMP2 nucleotide sequence. Messenger RNA levels were then determined using competitive, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR techniques. Significantly increased expression levels (means±S.E.) of RAMP2, CRLR and adrenomedullin mRNA were found in the atrium (1.8±0.2-fold, 1.8±0.2-fold and 2.1±0.1-fold, respectively, compared with sham operated rats) and in the ventricle (1.4±0.1-fold, 1.3±0.03-fold and 3.0±0.5-fold respectively). On the other hand, expression levels of RAMP2, CRLR and adrenomedullin mRNAs were not significantly changed in the kidney. These findings suggest potential roles of locally-produced and locally-acting adrenomedullin in the failing heart.

Kendra Chooses to Stay With Hank Baskett After He Cheated- Should You Stay Married After Infidelity?
Published on December 10, 2014 April 23, 2016 by Chauntel DelgadoLeave a comment
Kendra Baskett has been thrust into the spotlight since her time in the Playboy Mansion. The reality star and model starred in the E! reality television series Girls Next Door. This series documented her life as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends. She now headlines her own reality series Kendra on Top. With all of this time in the lime light Kendra has shared intimate moments of her life with a broad audience. Her husband Hank, of six years, allegedly cheated on her with a transexual model, Ava London. Hank was very remorseful and went into a deep depression surrounding the time of his affair, he shares with US Weekly. "For the past two years, I've gone through a serious struggle with depression, and during that time I lost the ability to open up to my best friend, Kendra," Hank told Us Weekly. "I had trouble thinking of the right thing to say the right way, especially in a situation like this, where it's your word against someone else's." When the story about her perfect marriage, looking to be in shambles, broke Kendra found it difficult to deal with all of the pressure of media. However, she handled it gracefully. During, her exclusive interview with Access Hollywood Kendra defended her marriage. Then, in a later interview with Giuliana Rancic, Kendra stated: "I cannot shut this man down. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life trying to figure this out rather than spend one night single." Whether or not you agree with Kendra's decision, you must believe that it took a lot of strength for her to stand up against the media's chastising of her decision to stay with Hank. Do you agree with Kendra's decision, vote below? My Opinion: I feel that Kendra made this decision based on what was best for her. It's easy to point fingers and say what she should do, but its her marriage and her life. Unless, you can live it for her, let her make her own decision and don't ridicule her for it! We can all take time to judge what Hank has done, and most would tell her to leave him. However, we do not have all the facts, and we are not in their relationship. If their love is strong enough to survive, then let it go on! But Kendra, if these patterns with Hank continue get-out-of-dodge!

Rudu Brinzan may be best known to many of us one of the finest pattern-makers in the business, and the mastermind behind a plethora of innovative modelling tools and accessories.
But new to me is his range of decals aimed fairly and squarely at Romanian aviation subjects. This of course opens up some fascinating modelling projects that include not only Romania's own aircraft designs, but the wide variety of foreign types flown by the Forţele Aeriene Române.
The sheets are custom-printed by Fantasy Printshop, one of the premier decal producers in Europe, so the quality is top notch with the individual items beautifully thin and glossy, with minimal carrier film and in perfect register.
The national markings include separate cross-bars and circles to allow you to produce different style markings, a nice touch which allows Radu to make maximum use of the available space on the sheet. Even so (in the 1:32 samples provided) there's still not quite enough room to squeeze everything in, so a small supplementary sheet is included. Along with the crosses, the sheets include Mickey Mouse insignia in a choice of yellow or white, the former as a separate overlay.
"These decals represent the "Stencil Type" of Romanian King Michael Cross, which was limited use while Romania was involved in World War 2 on the Axis side. This type of cross was the closest representation of the Royal Cipher of King Michael 1st of Romania. Later, the cross was simplified and such markings will be the subject of subsequent decal sheets.
The 960mm crosses were used on Hawker Hurricanes fighters, the upper wings of some Heinkel He.111 bombers and some Messerschmitt Bf.109 fighters.
The 860mm crosses were used on the Messerschmitt Bf.109 fighters.
The decal sheets include a number of elements that allow the modeller to create a variety of types of crosses with segmented and solid elements. Also included are small blue bars that represent the Roman numeral "1" that were added between the "legs" of the "M", one on each arm of the cross, as seen on a number of He111 bombers.
The decal sheets also include the "Mounted Mickey Mouse" emblem, often seen on fighters wearing this type of cross. Recently discovered photos indicate that these emblems were painted using the same colours as the national insignia such as red/white/blue or red/yellow/blue. A separate yellow layer is provided to convert the red/white/blue emblem into the red/yellow/blue emblem. More information in relation to the aircraft decorated with such crosses and emblems can be found in the book "Romanian Fighter Colours 1941-1945" by Teodor Liviu Morosanu and Dan Alexandru Melinte published by MMP Books in 2010, a book that I was involved with as a translator, researcher and author of the sections on colours, markings, ranks and unit formation.
Also included in this package, you will find a small airbrush self-adhesive paint mask with numbers for a Romanian Hawker Hurricane decorated with this type of crosses and emblem. More information can be found in the above-mentioned book. This is a separate "custom paint mask" service that I offer in my store for a very small fee and I invite my customers to enquire about adding such a mask to their decal order. This will allow the customer to create a unique/one-of-a-kind model of their choice. Please use the book "Romanian Fighter Colours 1941-1945" for inspiration."
There were no instructions included with the sample sheets. I don't know if Radu intends to include some with the production versions. If not, you'll need to arm yourself with references to determine the precise size and position of the markings carried.
Along with the decals, Radu sent a sample of his custom-paint masks, in this case the numerals for a Romanian Hurricane. These are very neatly die-cut from self-adhesive film and represent a bespoke service that Radu provides for his customers. You can contact him HERE for full details and quotations.
If you want to build Romanian aircraft, RB Productions offer everything you need, with decal sheets covering the insignia from the earliest days through WW2 and the Cold War to the present day, plus a service to produce individual markings for a truly unique model. Recommended.
Highs: Comprehensive sheets of excellent decals, printed in perfect register. The custom-masks open up an almost limitless range of possibilities.
Lows: No instructions included with the sample sheets.
Verdict: For anyone wanting to build Romanian aircraft subjects, RB Productions can provide everything you need through a combination of igh quality decals and paint masks.


Textron Aviation has confirmed that it is ceasing production of the Cessna Citation X+, ending a more-than-21-year manufacturing run for the Mach 0.935 twinjet and its predecessor, the Citation X. The Mach 0.92 X was announced at the National Business Aviation Association's convention in 1990 and certified in June 1996; the upgraded Citation Ten, later renamed the X+, was revealed at NBAA 2010 and certified in June 2014. To date, the company has delivered 314 Xs and just 24 X+s.
"We continuously monitor the market as it fluctuates and adjust our product offerings as necessary," a Textron Aviation spokesperson told BJT sister publication Aviation International News. "The Citation X platform has a storied heritage…and has become a beloved aircraft by operators and passengers alike as the fastest civilian aircraft in the world. With the upcoming entry into service of the Citation Longitude, we are taking the opportunity to minimize overlap within this customer segment and discontinuing production of the Citation X+." Both the Longitude and X+ can seat 12 passengers and have about 3,500 nautical miles of range.
Textron remains committed to delivering service and support to Citation X customers, according to a company spokesman.

The owner and community of the Finnish Labor Temple seek to rebuild an iconic building after a fire in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Posted on December 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Author Mary M. Stills	Comments Off on The owner and community of the Finnish Labor Temple seek to rebuild an iconic building after a fire in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
It has been more than a week since a devastating fire broke out at the historic Finnish Labor Temple in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The fire investigation is ongoing, but community members are already trying to find a way to collect the pieces of the Northwestern Ontario emblem, which also housed the famous Hoito restaurant.
"You know the building was like a part of my family. It was like a kid of mine and now it's gone, you know, so, I mean, it was really tough," said Brad McKinnon who purchased the building in 2020.
McKinnon said the past week has been a whirlwind of emotions as he tries to sort through the aftermath of the fire. On the night of the fire, he had just arrived in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, when he heard flames going through the building.

He said he turned around and drove eight hours to Thunder Bay. When he arrived around 3 a.m. on December 23, city firefighters were still fighting the blaze.
"It's a tragedy," he said. "We are not going to leave the building in this condition. We will be rebuilding it immediately as soon as possible."
McKinnon said he was determined to revive the building's most iconic elements, including the Bay Street facade, tower and dome.

On Tuesday, McKinnon waited for the next steps to complete the investigation, process the insurance claim and clean the building to avoid further risk or damage.
"I mean, it's probably one of the most iconic buildings in Thunder Bay. It was a tourist attraction. It was a sanctuary for the Finnish community," he said. "It was a symbol of hope, care, generosity and, and off we go. And to let him, you know, to let him go like that would be a crime in itself," he said.
McKinnon said reconstruction may not take place until spring, but said that in the meantime he hopes to recover an antique scale that was one of the few heritage pieces left in the building, according to Thunder Bay Finlandia Co-op. .
The human scale was at the entrance to the Hoito restaurant for decades. McKinnon hopes to display it in some sort of box outside for people visiting the Bay and Algoma neighborhood to see.

"Just to use that as a symbol of progress and determination, and the restaurant will come back and the building will come back," he said.
McKinnon's eagerness to rebuild was good news for Thunder Bay's Finlandia Co-op, which was set to reopen Hoito Restaurant in June 2022.
The spirit of the building still there
The organization's interim president, Paula Haapanen, said the board "agrees" and will work to develop a plan for next steps at its first general meeting on January 16.

"Really, our plans haven't changed. It's just, I guess the end goal has drifted off a bit," Haapanen said in an interview with CBC News.
"There have been a lot of expressions of support to go on and you realize that the spirit of the building on many different levels is still there and and people want to see this continue in some form or another. so very encouraging, "she added.
On Wednesday, the fire scene investigation was underway. However, Thunder Bay Fire Rescue has confirmed to CBC News that arson is not an alleged cause of the blaze.
The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) was called in to participate in the investigation to determine the cause, origin and circumstances of the fire.
The BCI investigation began on December 24 after the blaze was put out by the Thunder Bay Fire Department.
A spokesperson for the Office of the Fire Marshal told CBC News that part of the third floor of the building had collapsed into the second and it was unsafe to enter.

This article discusses developing a working relationship with the mason, construction practices, design details, material properties, and workmanship issues basic to successful brick masonry construction. With the information presented in this article, the architect's construction administrator (CA) or independent inspector will be better able to examine and report on the brickwork, enforce the requirements of the plans and specifications, and prepare representative reports while communicating confidently with the mason.
The sharp corners of metal drip flashing can be a hazard.
Before and after the weekly progress meeting (which takes place away from the distractions of construction activities with a full set of construction documents available) is the ideal opportunity for developing rapport with the masonry superintendent. The superintendent can easily bring the CA or inspector up to speed on the current progress of the work, but it is important to keep in mind this requires a willingness to be helpful—the result of a harmonious, and not contentious, relationship.
During the progress meeting, the construction administrator should be taking notes and listening for the 'narrative' (or gossip, if you will) that has developed around the jobsite. The owner is influenced by this gossip, and the CA will show better client management skills if they are on top of it.
Some issues can be observed while walking the site. These include ensuring all bagged products and brick, mortar, and concrete masonry units (CMUs) are protected from the weather to prevent wetting of the materials, and that only non-chloride admixtures are being used in mortar or grout.
Masons should not drop mortar into the void behind the brickwork, as it piles up on the masonry ties and plugs up the drainage material. They should not attempt to cut off mortar fins protruding into the cavity; instead, they should minimize the excess mortar squeezed out of the bed joint by bevelling the mortar away from the space behind the brick.
Brick movement joints should be kept free of mortar, and horizontal reinforcement should be stopped on either side of the joint. Brick Industry Association (BIA) Technical Bulletin 18A, Accommodating Expansion of Brickwork, provides a good discussion of expansion joint construction. The tops of masonry must be covered when not being worked on to prevent rain and snow from getting into the cores. Additionally, the sharp corners of the extended metal drip flashing should be flattened to protect the public.
Some mortar additives put a shading on the mortar. For this reason, masons must be careful of where they stop and start adding it. Mortar should be used consistently in each elevation so the shading does not start or stop in the middle of an elevation.
Head-joint weeps and through-wall flashing are a part of the traditional masonry drainage wall system. Weep openings provide a pathway for water to drain out of the cavity and should be in the first course of brick on the through-wall flashing. Head-joint weeps must be raked clear of mortar down to the flashing, and be kept free of mortar droppings to provide an unobstructed path for water to drain. They are essential for brick veneer or cavity wall masonry, and should be discussed with the architect-engineer if not shown on the drawings.
In addition to this traditional drainage wall system, a pressure-equalized rainscreen wall design incorporates air vents at the top and bottom of the exterior wall to circulate water vapor out of the cavity and minimize water infiltration. Without these air vents, suction in the cavity (created by high-velocity wind hitting the exterior of the brick) draws moisture from the outside face into the cavity, through breaches in the mortar joint. Venting, provided by the pressure-equalized rainscreen wall design, reduces cavity suction by equalizing air pressure inside and outside the brick wythe. Vents should be at the top and bottom of the cavity, below any parapet or brick ledge that compartmentalizes any portion of the cavity and three courses above the flashing. For an in-depth discussion of the rainscreen wall principle, refer to Canadian Building Digest 40 (CBD-40), Rain Penetration and Its Control, and BIA Technical Note 27, Brick Masonry Rainscreen Walls.

The journey from bench to bedside is a long one in the world of pharmaceutical research, entailing large expense, complex processes and, often, dead ends. It is estimated that the cost of bringing a new drug to the market is around $2.6 billion and takes at least 10 years. And the odds of a drug entering clinical testing ever reaching the market are less than one in eight, and at this point, the costs of failure can be so high as to prevent turning back. At the same time, there are growing pressures within the pharmaceutical industry to reduce costs and increase productivity.
Improvements in analysis within the earliest stages of drug development of drug candidate identification, optimization and selection could both improve success rates and reduce expenditure in pharmaceutical development.
At Pittcon 2018, taking place in Orlando, Florida in February 2018, you can hear about some of the latest developments in technology assisting analysis and automation in pharmaceutical research.
For example, members of the Enabling Technologies Consortium will discuss how collaboration between pharmaceutical companies is helping to overcome shared obstacles in drug development. This includes GlaxoSmithKline, who have teamed up with other pharmaceutical companies to test robotic platforms for accurate, automated dispensing of solids and AstraZeneca who have worked on combined efforts to improve the measurement and prediction of API solubility.
You can also hear from speakers and exhibitors about advancements in high-throughput screening, assisted by the latest developments in automation and robotics. For example, Life Technologies will discuss their SelectScreen service which allows their clients to review the majority of their compound screening data within two days. David Damon from Pfizer will also discuss high-throughput screening of Lewis acids.
At Pittcon 2018, there will also be the opportunity to hear about the latest available technology for liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. For example, Jonathan Wingfield from AstraZeneca will describe the success of a recently developed acoustic ion generation method to enable a high-throughput mass spectrometry platform.
There will also be presentations from ThermoFisher on paper spray technology, while Waters, Porvair, PharmaFluidics and Restek are among the other exhibitors.
In the next few chapters, you can find out more about what to expect at Pittcon 2018, as well as more of the exciting talks and exhibitors you can meet in Orlando this February.
The pharmaceutical industry faces a number of challenges when it comes to developing new enabling technologies. Liaison between pharmaceutical researchers and academics and vendors can result in successful development and evaluation of prototype inventions and products for use in research. However, these types of collaborations can lead to products designed with only one pharmaceutical company in mind and may not be useful across the industry.
Collaborations between single pharmaceutical companies and academics or vendors also suffer from this issue, while collaboration between pharmaceutical companies – an increasing trend – can be complicated and delayed by the need for complex legal agreements.
In recognition of this, 2015 saw the formation of the Enabling Technologies Consortium (ETC), a collective of pharmaceutical companies collaborating to deliver mutually beneficial solutions to challenges in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The Consortium was founded with 12 members: AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Biogen, Boehringer-Ingelhaim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Eli Lilly & Co., GlaxoSmithKline, MSD, Pfizer Inc., and Takeda.
Examples include the development of new instruments, reagents, computer models or research workflows. Transparency is one of the Consortium's guiding principles and at the conclusion of each project, the results are shared with the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.
At Pittcon 2018, you have the opportunity to hear from the teams who have taken part in ETC collaborations talk about the challenges they've faced and the solutions they've found.
For example, Matthew Bahr from GlaxoSmithKline will be outlining the work of the High Throughput Experimentation working group which has been comparing potential technologies for the automated dispensing of solids, which still remains a challenge for the industry.
The group tested multiple robotic platforms to compare their ability to accurately weigh powder into vials using a range of powders under different lab conditions at five pharmaceutical companies, collecting a total of 18,000 data points.
We will also be joined by exhibitors Enviroflo, a company who provide balance enclosures specifically designed for the handling of potent powders to pharmaceutical companies around the world and Bettersize whose instruments provide data on powder characteristics like particle size, shape, and distribution.
Also exhibiting at Pittcon are Systec and HNO Mikrosysteme who have technologies for liquid dispensing. HNQ Mikrosysteme market pumps for dosing small amounts of liquid quickly and accurately. They also provide integrated systems like the MoDos (modular dosing system), a tailor-made, ready-to-use pump system for continuous delivery in fine chemical and pharmaceutical production.
Systec, through their Mediaprep instruments, provide automatic media preparators for the preparation of sterile liquid media such as agar culture media, peptone water and buffer solutions. Their optimized automation allows for predictable production of high-quality media, while the filling port allows additives to be added while maintaining sterility.
Regina Black from Bristol-Myers Squibb will be talking at Pittcon 2018 about another ETC collaboration aimed at developing a new generation of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) instruments.
This technique is employed ubiquitously in the pharmaceutical industry for rapid small molecule purification, but the "gold standard" instrument has fallen out of production. This has led to questions for pharmaceutical companies about what instruments to replace equipment with that has reached the end of its life. In this talk, Black will discuss the experience of participating in an ETC collaboration that aims to develop new instrumentation that will best meets the needs of its users.
SFC has been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for around the last 15 years for the measurement and enhancement of purity. The method, which primarily uses supercritical CO2 as a solvent also benefits from green credentials.
Scientists from Waters Corporation, who will be exhibiting at this year's Pittcon, have shown how using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and SFC can increase productivity when extracting compounds from natural products.
The team studied the extraction of a terpene derivative known to have anti-cancer activity from fine-ground plant material. They performed SFE before trialling three different two-step methods of purification: medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC); MPLC and SFC; or SFC and SFC.
The researchers found that, compared with MPLC+HPLC, MPLC+SFC resulted in a nine-fold increase in productivity. But SFC+SFC resulted in a 16-fold increase in productivity and also benefited from a 90% reduction in solvent use.
Also exhibiting at Pittcon 2018 will be Phenomenex and ES Industries, providers of SFC instrumentation. ES Industries range of GreenSep columns are specifically designed for SFC applications to deliver high-performance SFC separations. Phenomenex, meanwhile, offer a complete range of columns and accessories for HPLC/UHPLC and SFC.
Simon Yates from AstraZeneca will talk about an ETC collaboration that has involved pharmaceutical companies working together to be better able to measure and predict the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug intermediates. The sub-team shared data with each other to develop a best practice model and the talk will detail their results so far. They now plan to publish these and seek commercial partners for the development of equipment and software tools.
Also available at Pittcon will be representatives from Distek who specialize in instruments for measuring dissolution, a critical parameter in drug delivery. This includes the Distek symphony 7100, their most advanced instrument, which combines bathless technology with embedded temperature sensors, the ability to run three independent methods simultaneously and a color touch screen display.
High-throughput screening (HTS) has become a cornerstone of pharmaceutical research in the post-Human Genome Project era. The approach allows the rapid analysis of 1000s of chemical compounds at a time, something which has been instrumental in identifying small-molecule drug candidates, for which genomic research throws up dozens of targets. HTS first gained traction as a drug-discovery tool in the late 1990s and several drugs have since come to the market that owe their existence to the approach.
HTS has a number of advantages for the pharmaceutical industry. The method employs robotics, detectors and software to screen and assay a large number of chemical compounds against a target, sometimes ranging to 100,000 per day. This has created huge potential for accelerating drug discovery, particularly given that chemical synthesis can generate huge libraries of novel compounds.
HTS can reduce the costs of drug development and has facilitated drug discovery efforts in previously neglected disease areas. It also allows for the early determination of compound toxicity.
The emergence of HTS as a critical tool for drug discovery has been underpinned by developments in robotics and automation. At Pittcon 2018, you will be able to meet the companies who are developing the latest technologies for use in HTS. David Damon from Pfizer Inc will discuss the development of workflows for the HTS of Lewis acids. These acids are routinely used in the development of chemical processes to prepare active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Also at Pittcon 2018 will be Life Technologies, part of ThermoFisher Scientific, who have developed an online web portal called SelectScreen, which allows their customers to view real-time screening data. Typically, when scientists outsource compound screening and profiling, it takes around 5-15 days for a report to be delivered to the client. With the SelectScreen workflow, the team at Life Technologies have shown that clients receive 75% of their data on average within the first two days.
This year's Pittcon will also feature numerous exhibitors providing a range of automated instruments that can be applied in HTS including Metrohm International. Their automated sample preparation system, the 815 Robotic Soliprep, can be used for a range of applications, including in ion chromatography, HPLC, ICP, voltammetry and titrimetric applications to ensure uniform sample preparation at every step. Their scientists have demonstrated that the instrument can be used for the homogenisation of pharmaceutical tablets, as is required for accurately quantifying the ingredients and verifying the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Beckman Coulter provide a range of integrated automation solutions to assist optimizing lab throughput. Their Biomek automated liquid handlers allow lab scientists to reduce their hands-on time during drug discovery research and can be integrated into complete workflows, including from third party devices, such as bar-code readers, microplate centrifuges and temperature-controlled storage. Beckman Coulter will also be exhibiting at Pittcon 2018.
Over the past 20 years, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry has been applied widely across areas including proteomics, metabolomics and imaging. In drug discovery, the qualitative and quantitative approach offers a sensitive, reliable and robust tool for studying molecules of interest at low concentrations, as well as macromolecules that are difficult to study with other techniques.
Electrospray ionization involves spraying a sample using an electrical field, leading to the formation of charged droplets. Following desolvation, the ionized analytes can then be detected with a standard mass spectrometer.
At Pittcon 2018, you can hear Jonathan Wingfield from AstraZeneca discuss a collaboration between the company with Labcyte and Waters to develop a high throughput mass spectrometry platform.
It uses acoustic ion generation, similar in principle to electrospray ionization, which the team refer to as Echo-MS. It involves a modified acoustic liquid handler which ejects a mist of droplets directly from a 384-well assay plate. These are ionized as they pass through a transfer tube which delivers them into the mass detector.
The team have already demonstrated that it could screen 300,000 samples during a single assay, using manual plate loading and they have now adapted it using an automation to feed plates into the system, allowing a screen of around two million samples.
At Pittcon, Wingfield will discuss the high throughput data so far collected using this prototype system as well as present recent work demonstrating how it could be applied in drug discovery.
Waters, whose mass spectrometry devices were used in the prototype will also be exhibiting at Pittcon.
Their MS instruments enable maximal performance in pharmaceutical analysis from pre-clinical testing to clinical trials. Scientists from the company have recently demonstrated how a high-sensitivity method coupling UPLC to tandem MS could be used to study the pharmacokinetics of the asthma drug fluticasone proponate in the blood serum of rats, even though it circulates at concentrations as low as 10 pg/mL.
Porvair, who offer microplates and assay plates for all applications including sample preparation and high-throughput screening, will also be exhibiting at Pittcon 2018.
Liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has become a mainstay at all stages of pharmaceutical development. The expansion of mass spectrometry into the industry was accelerated by the advent of electrospray ionization, a nobel-prize winning achievement that allows for the ionization and analysis of large bio-molecules.
Exhibiting at Pittcon 2018 will be ThermoFisher Scientific who offer a range of LC-MS systems, software and accessories.
Scientists from the company have recently shown the potential of paper spray technology for fluid analysis. The direct-ionization method could provide a simpler and more rapid method for studying blood and urine samples, in clinical research, forensic toxicology and in anti-doping in sport or horse-racing, without the need for extensive sample pre-treatment and chromatography.
The team from ThermoFisher tested the approach using horse urine samples spiked with methamphetamine and other stimulant drugs. Using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer, they were able to perform quantitative analysis of seven different analytes.
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was first pioneered in the 1970s, but it continues to be an important method throughout the pharmaceutical industry such as in pharmacokinteic analysis, in proteomics and metabolomics and drug development. As samples become increasingly complex in biomedical research, sample preparation and separation techniques have been adapted and developed to cope with these challenges.
At this year's Pittcon, you can hear from researchers who have been refining a 2D-LC method for use in polymer conjugated drug development.
Polymer conjugation has become a valuable method in drug development. It works by conjoining the drug of interest to a polymer, such as polyethylene glycol, which then alters its in vitro and in vivo properties. Commonly, the aim is to reduce side effects, such as by targeting the drug to a specific organ or tissue, or to prolong the drug's lifespan before it is cleared from the body.
However, characterizing polymers using conventional techniques is challenging. Standard HPLC is unable to separate polymer species which may have different properties but only subtle structural differences. Meanwhile electrospray MS results in a highly convoluted charge distribution profile, preventing their identification.
To overcome these obstacles, researchers used 2D-LC on a complex polymer sample mixture to separate degradants and impurities from the polymers. They then followed this up with charge reduction mass spectrometry to deconvolute the polymer distributions to lower charge states, and thus identify the resolved peaks.
The researchers used quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Qtof), a method which offers high sensitivity and high mass accuracy. It has grown more and more popular due to increasing performance characteristics, and the recent expansion of semi-automated instrument control and data processing.
Exhibiting at Pittcon 2018 will be Waters, who offer high-performance Qtof mass spectrometers for comprehensive quantitative and qualitative applications. This includes the Xevo G2-XS, a benchtop Qtof mass spectrometer that offers the highest quality qualitative information alongside class-leading quantitative sensitivity. The technology is able to identify a greater number of components in complex samples than ever before, as well as quantify those of interest even at the lowest levels.
Also exhibiting at this year's Pittcon will be PharmaFluidics, whose µPAC cartridge can be used to achieve nano-LC separation, decreasing sample preparation, increasing throughput and enhancing analytical results.
Restek, who have been developing and manufacturing LC columns for the last 21 years, will also be exhibiting at Pittcon 2018. They have a range of columns for use in HPLC and UHPLC, including their ultra selective LC column, which offers the widest range of selectivity in the industry, to enhance peak separation and resolution.
Other exhibitors at Pittcon 2018 include Metrohm, whose range of ion chromatography instruments can be applied for routine analysis or in research and development. This important method for determining active and inactive ingredients, impurities, excipients and metabolites in pharmaceutical products can be used for characterising components ranging from trace contaminants up to major pharmacological components.
Also at Pittcon will be Phenomenex who offer a complete range of columns for HPLC and UHPLC, as well as Valco Instruments, who provide injectors, valves, selectors and fittings for use in UHPLC and nano-LC.
As the pharmaceutical industry continues to face the challenges of the high failure rate of candidate drugs in clinical trials and the pressure of reducing expenditure, accurate, fast and reliable analytical methods will continue to be essential.
The rise of automation and robotics looks certain to have a major impact on early drug development, including enhancing the speed of screening. Meanwhile advances in spectroscopy methods should allow better characterization of candidate molecules at an earlier stage, giving greater ability to predict efficacy and toxicity and lower the risk of costly failures.
At this year's Pittcon you can discover how the latest technologies are helping pharma overcome hurdles in early drug development. This includes analytical methods, like multi-dimensional liquid chromatography and direct ionization mass spectrometry, and advances in automation and robotics.
Major players in the industry will be presenting at the Pittcon exhibition, and you can also hear from experts in the field in the impressive range of talks and symposia.
Featured companies joining us at Pittcon this year include ThermoFisher Scientific, Restek, Metrohm, Waters Corporation, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and more, all of which will be demonstrating the latest technologies for automation in pharma – join us in February in Orlando, Florida for Pittcon 2018.


Actor Shahid Kapur, who had the rare experience of flying multirole jet fighter aircraft F-16 to adapt traits of a fighter pilot for his forthcoming film Mausam, takes pride in being the only film actor to have flown that ultimate flying machine.
"I was quite fortunate that I flew an F-16 fighter plane. I don't think any other actor has ever flown a F-16. Even when actor Tom Cruise had done Top Gun he had flown an F15. I was very fortunate to get that opportunity. It was a very exciting experience for me," Shaid told reporters at the first look of the film at the PVR here Monday.
The actor had flown the American fighter aircraft at the AeroIndia defence exhibition in Bangalore earlier this year.
Sharing his overwhelming experience, Shahid reveals: "Honestly I was not fond of flying in a plane but when I actually sat in it and flew it I was so excited that I started shouting. It was probably the most exhilarating experience one could have. I am someone who loves speed anyway.
"So, the fact that I was sitting in a F-16 and I was a co-pilot was unbelievable. I also went through G force. If you know when you fly such a plane you can go up to G9. G1 is when you feel your body weight; G2 is when you feel two times your body weight. He (The co-pilot) took me up to G6. That's something I would take through my grave with me."
"I think it was required to understand my part better and it helped me to understand what all goes to become a fighter pilot," he added.
Shaid closely followed the mannerisms of the Indian Air Force pilots in the bases he visited and maintains that he is completely in awe of their attitude.
"I visited some air force bases to meet some air force pilots; I sat on the aircraft, I put on the G-suit, observed how they walk with the helmet. All things like that which actually gives you some kind of perspective of what it is to be representing the country and to be the part of the arm force and to be an Air Force pilot.
"It's interesting to know that the value of an air force pilot is Rs.300 crore in an average because that's the money invested to make an air force officer over a period of time. He is an extremely valuable commodity. They are taken extremely good care of. They all met me like 'Oh tu to hero hai, haan thik hai. They all have this attitude, which is awesome. They are the real heroes," said Shahid.
The directorial debut of his actor father Pankaj Kapur, Mausam is a love story with actress Sonam Kapoor playing the lead opposite him.
Mausam is about season of love. It's about different emotions and different situations that the couple goes through. That's the theme of the film," said Shahid.
Mausam is set to hit theatres on September 16.

Q: How to pass parameter to javascript function that contains web service results? I use this function in javascript to call web service (WCF):
function Do(caller)
{
   MyService.GetClient(some_id, CallBackGetClient);
}

function CallBackGetClient(WebServiceResult)
{
   var result = WebServiceResult;
   etc.
}

Now I want to pass parameter (caller) to CallBackGetClient function so I can make dictinction who called Do() function. How to pass a parameter?

A: You can put put it inside an anonymous function, for which you use the same function signature as the expected callback.
function Do(caller)
{
   MyService.GetClient(some_id, function(webServiceResult) {
       CallBackGetClient(webServiceResult, caller);
   });
}

Here you are passing an anonymous function to GetClient as the callback. That function will take the expected web service result as its argument, but inside that function, you're turning around and invoking the real CallBackGetClient, adding caller as a second argument. This works because caller gets "trapped" inside the scope of the anonymous function so it'a still usable.
And this right here is the best thing about Javascript.
