The Best Miniseries Of The 2010s
List Rules Vote up your favorite limited series that aired on TV or streaming service in the 2010s.
The 2010s wasn't the decade that started the limited series - but it was definitely the decade that perfected it. The best 2010s miniseries were the ones that were envisioned as a limited series from the outset, and they were often so weird, wonderful, and wild that it would be impossible to imagine the story going any further. Shows like Escape at Dannemora and Catch-22 utilized big-name casts and closed-ended stories to create "Event TV," and all the while they challenged audiences' perceptions of what a limited series should be.
Back in the days before Peak TV, a limited series usually meant that the network didn't have the confidence - or the money - to make a fully-fledged TV show. It also usually meant that a movie wouldn't be profitable, so why not stick it on TV in some down-time and hope that six people see it? Well, some of the top 2010s miniseries changed that with universal appeal that attracted massive audiences, like Chernobyl, while others created something so bold and fearless that nothing that's come before or since will ever be able to match it, like Fargo and Olive Kitteridge.
The best 2010s miniseries on this list all pack a powerful punch in a small number of episodes, but thanks to the sheer number of shows, you have your work cut out for you if you want to get through all of them. So let's watch some A-listers on the big screen, adapt a Pulitzer prize winning book or two, and most likely listen to some British accents, because it's time to rank the best limited series of the 2010s.

Travel Weekly's Europe E-letter: Dec. 22, 2004
UP WITH EUROPE: The recovery in U.S. arrivals in Europe continued albeit more slowly in November. According to New York research firm Donald N. Martin & Co., American travel to the Continent was up an estimated 4% last month, compared to the stronger 10.8% growth recorded by the Dept. of Commerce in September. Airwise, the top nine transatlantic carriers reported a 8.4% jump in traffic; however, Europeans empowered by an ever-stronger euro currency accounted for most of the passenger volume growth. But overall, total U.S. arrivals could hit 12.6 million for all of 2004, higher than the 12.14 million seen in 2001 but still short of the record 13.12 million recorded back in 2000.

Healthy Valleys highlights isolation and loneliness
Jim is a retired plumber who lives in Kirkfieldbank. He was a keen gardener, enjoyed watching sport and playing bowls. Since his wife died over a year ago, Jim has lost interest in life and rarely leaves his home. Jim has few friends or family and weeks can pass without him seeing anyone.
There are hundreds of lonely, isolated people like Jim, living in Clydesdale. Older people in particular are most at risk of loneliness and isolation.
15, 900 over 65's live in Clydesdale, this is expected to rise by 24% by 2020
55% of older people have a long term health illness
1/3 live on their own (Source: South Lanarkshire Council)
ReConnect is a Healthy Valleys project, funded by the Big Lottery until the end of 2018 and delivered in partnership with Healthy n Happy Community Development Trust.
Developed in conjunction with older people, ReConnect aims to tackle the growing problem of social isolation by offering support and help to older Clydesdale residents who need help to link them back into their local community.
Promoting a form of early intervention and preventative approaches which draw on recognised national and international best practice, ReConnect works collaboratively with older people to identify their own strengths and challenges.
Trained ReConnect volunteers then provide support and encouragement to empower changes in behaviour that increase the confidence and independence of our older people, helping them to reach their goals and enjoy a fuller life again.
Do you think you could help older people in Clydesdale, someone like Jim? Simply taking Jim to a game of bowls once a week would really bring a smile to his face. Do you live locally and have an hour or so a week to help someone like Jim to regain their confidence? For an informal chat please contact Barbara at Healthy Valleys on 01555 880666 or email barbara@healthyvalleys.org.uk

World Bank aided livelihood project disburses Rs. 22 lakh to beneficiaries in 8 months
PHOTO : Chief Minister Manik Sarkar inaugurating the launch of NERLP on Oct 31,2013. TIWN File Photo
AGARTALA, June 13: The World Bank aided Northeast rural Livelihood Project (NERLP) disbursed Rs. 22 lakh in a period of eight months to over two thousand Self Help Groups (SHG) in the state, a highly placed source in the Department for Rural Development (RD) said.The source said that 1,069 Self Help groups (SHG) were helped in the timeframe to set up small scale business projects. Each SHG was given a one-time fund of Rs. 80 thousand in the timeframe. The process involved identification of 1,069 existing Self Help Groups (SHG) and recognition of 908 new SHGs for extending assistance.
Out of all 507 youths registered for training as a part of the project awards, 77 youths were imparted training till date. Forty-three of the youths were given placements.
NERLP was conceptualized to involve a total financial projection of Rs. 683.20 crore during the entire 12th Five Year plan period. The project would be implemented in nine blocks of Aizawl and Lunglei districts of Mizoram, 11 blocks of Peren and Tuensang districts of Nagaland, 14 blocks in Sikkim, 24 blocks across and the erstwhile South and North Tripura districts in Tripura.
World Bank representative Adarsh Kumar said during inauguration of the project in Tripura in October, 2013 that NERLP would be targetting 3,00,000 households in 1624 villages of 58 blocks in 8 districts of 4 states in India's northeast. NERLP is scheduled to be taken over after the plan period of 5 years by NRLM, a central government sponsored poverty alleviation programme. Ministry for DoNER would be sharing 10 percent contribution in the project fund sharing with the World Bank.e North East Rural Livelihoods Project (NERLP) is scheduled to address issues of livelihood enhancement for the rural poor, especially women, unemployed youth and severely disadvantaged in eight districts of the four participating states of the NE region. While Aizawl and Lunglei districts from Mizoram were counted in the list, Peren and Tuensang district were enlisted in Nagaland, South, West and 15 Panchayat wards of East District were listed up from Sikkim. Tripura got West and North Tripura districts in the list.


commodity called, for example, "gas-kerosene", and then A-T adds it as a CG. But how does the model know that this commodity and its corresponding comm-group are comprised of the 2 actual products, and are not just another commodity, equal to all others. Or should I be modelling the user defined commodity groups in a different way?
I'm not sure my question was so clear, so i'll try to clarify. My ultimate goal is to define a combined share of the products in that comm_grp.
I've seen that, I could create a new comm_grp, and then define with parameter g_map which commodities are included in that group. But then, when I try to use FLO_SHAR in the process for that combined group, it gives me the option of bounding commodities, not commodity groups.
I could create a commodity, with similar (similar, not exact) name as the comm-grp, but then i'm back to the start, how does the model know that this "commodity" is actually a kind of "combined commodity"? I'm sure I'm missing or misunderstanding something.
Sara, I am sorry that your question has not yet been answered.
You can actually define a commodity to be also a user-defined commodity group, but such a "Group commodity" should never be used in the topology of processes. First, create the new commodity, and then define members for this Group commodity using COM_GMAP on the TID spread on the CommGroup Tab, with the newly created commodity selected in the top part.
After defining the member commodities for the Group commodity, you can then use the commodity on the Process tab as the constrained commodity in a FLO_SHAR parameter, and some other commodity group as the reference group.
I hope this answer helps you, although it comes so late.
(Note that you can also use ACTGRP as the commodity group in FLO_SHAR, for referring to the process activity).
Thank you very much for your reply (it's better late than never, so really thank you). I understand now how it works.

This nuclear generating station located in north-eastern US has been a customer of Lubrication Engineers since 2007.
The station's major equipment includes its main unit - a General Electric steam turbine - as well as outboard heater drain pumps, auxiliary vacuum pumps, condenser vacuum pumps and other auxiliary equipment. Station personnel began investigating alternatives to the turbine oil used in its steam turbine and auxiliary equipment due to concerns over oil performance.
Personnel were concerned with discoloration of the station's oil, which appeared black when examined in a 1l sample bottle. They were also concerned with increasing levels of foam in the steam turbine oil reservoir and in the reservoirs and sight glasses of auxiliary equipment. The foam level in the turbine return oil tank exceeded 12in.

Destiny 2 PC version won't use dedicated servers, arrives after console launch
Posted on Last updated: May 20, 2017 Categories News
Yesterday was Destiny 2 day, with new gameplay unveiled ahead of the game's September 8 launch.
We also got plenty of interesting tidbits about the game's PC version, including that it will be sold exclusively on the Blizzard Launcher (and can be purchased with WoW Gold), will have 4K support and an uncapped resolution, and that its new clan feature will make use of Blizzard's party and multiplayer system.
While all that initial news was music to the typical PC gamer's ears, these latest little tidbits might bring the hype meter down a bit.
Interestingly, while Activision and Bungie have talked up the PC version and the fact Destiny is finally coming to the platform, it's not actually going to be released alongside the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the title.
A spokesperson for Activision revealed as much to Game Informer.
"Activision and Bungie have been discussing a September 8 release date for some weeks, but players looking forward to playing the game on PC will have to wait a little longer," the publisher said.
"An Activision representative confirmed for us today that Destiny 2 on PC does not currently have a scheduled release date, and will not release on September 8 alongside the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game."
Ah, that's a shame!
In another interview with PC Gamer, Bungie confirmed that there won't be dedicated servers for Destiny 2 on PC, because it's a "complicated typology".
When asked if the PC and console versions' tick rate would be different, Bungie said it "didn't have a good answer for that" yet.
"We're not talking about the server side of things at this time," Destiny 2 PC lead, David Shaw, said.
"I can tell you that we have had conversations and we're aware of—we try really hard to listen to the community and hear what their concerns are, and we try to take those and turn those into the plans."
That's not to say there's no good news for PC gamers holding out for Destiny 2.
Here are some of the exclusive features fans can look forward to.
4k Resolution Support (3820×2160)
Uncapped framerate
Full mouse and keyboard support with custom key mapping
Adjustable Field of View
Detailed PC settings screen
21:9 monitor support
Destiny 2 launches on Xbox One and PS4 on September 4. The PC release is currently TBC.

because our understanding of turbulence over time has stayed largely ad-hoc and limited, the development of technology that interacts significantly with fluid flows has long been forced to be conservative and incremental. If only we became masters of this ubiquitous phenomenon of nature, these technologies might be free to evolve in more imaginative directions.
Motions of fluids are usually hidden to the senses except at the interface between fluids that have different optical properties.
For example, you can see the swirls and eddies on the surface of a flowing creek but not the patterns of motion beneath the surface.
The Navier-Stokes equation is difficult to solve because it is nonlinear. This word is thrown around quite a bit, but here it means something specific. You can build up a complicated solution to a linear equation by adding up many simple solutions. An example you may be aware of is sound: the equation for sound waves is linear, so you can build up a complex sound by adding together many simple sounds of different frequencies (harmonics). Elementary quantum mechanics is also linear; the Schrödinger equation allows you to add together solutions to find a new solution.
The idea is that the interesting dynamics occur at larger scales, and grid points are placed to cover these. But the subgrid motions that happen between the gridpoints mainly just dissipate energy, or turn motion into heat, so don't need to be tracked in detail. This approach is also called large-eddy simulation (LES), the term eddy standing in for a flow feature at a particular length scale.
The idea is that, while the low-speed solution is valid at any speed, near a critical speed another solution also becomes valid, and nature prefers that second, more complex solution. In other words, the simple solution has become unstable and is replaced by a second one. As the speed is ramped up further, each solution gives way to a more complicated one, until we arrive at the chaotic flow we call turbulence.
Most Austrians saw Austria as an aberration, cut off from its wheat in the east, its port on the Adriatic and the industry of Bohemia; the Allies denied their wish to join a "greater Germany".
"We see ourselves as a forum for debate," says Monika Sommer, the director. "We are quite comfortable with showing that there isn't always one view on history." She hopes that exhibits like the Waldheim-Pferd will prove to be "friction points" that galvanise discussion. There are bound to be controversies, she acknowledges. The museum's aim is to provide a stage on which to air them, perhaps even to forge a new consensus.
Sometimes, it led to intriguing surprises, like photographs of dragon dances performed by some of the 140,000 Chinese laborers brought over to France to lend muscle to the Allied war effort.
It was a painful thought for someone who recalled being told, by an admiring teacher at his Massachusetts school, that one day he would "unify the sciences and humanities". Clearly, he needed a larger canvas. Even so, few could have predicted how large a canvas he would choose.
1997's Guns, Germs and Steel – which ask the most sweeping questions it is possible to ask about human history.
Diamond, who describes himself as a biogeographer, answers them in translucent prose that has the effect of making the world seem to click into place, each fact assuming its place in an elegant arc of pan-historical reasoning.
Why? Because 8,000 years ago – to borrow from Guns, Germs and Steel – the geography of Europe and the Middle East made it easier to farm crops and animals there than elsewhere.
vicious jousting between Diamond and many anthropologists. They condemn him as a cultural imperialist, intent on excusing the horrors of colonialism while asserting the moral superiority of the west.
In person, Diamond is a fastidiously courteous 77-year-old with a Quaker-style beard sans moustache, and archaic New England vowels: "often" becomes "orphan", "area" becomes "eerier". There's no computer: despite his children's best efforts, he admits he's never learned to use one.
What changed, Diamond argues, was a seemingly minor set of mutations in our larynxes, permitting control over spoken sounds, and thus spoken language; spoken language permitted much of the rest.
It won a Pulitzer prize and has sold more than 1.5m copies in 36 languages. Mitt Romney quoted it admiringly in his 2012 presidential campaign, garbling its message entirely.
he found himself accused of "geographic determinism": in his critics' opinion, his arguments squeeze out any role for human agency and decision-making, thereby sparing history's colonisers – and today's elites – any responsibility for having created our grotesquely unjust world.
Each of the two books has the unusual distinction of having another book dedicated largely to demolishing it: Yali's Question, which offers a different answer from Diamond's New Guinean acquaintance, and Questioning Collapse, which calls the Easter Island "ecocide" a myth.
L'idée n'est appliquée pour la première fois qu'en 1916 en Allemagne et adoptée définitivement en France en 1973 pour amortir la crise pétrolière. Elle sera généralisée à toute l'union européenne en 1980, sur la base de ce même principe : profiter d'une heure supplémentaire d'éclairage naturel et ainsi faire des économies sur l'éclairage artificiel. Aujourd'hui 70 pays sont adeptes du changement d'heure.
En pratique, le passage à l'heure d'été (+1h) se fait toujours dans la nuit du dernier samedi de mars tandis que le passage à l'heure d'hiver (-1h) se fait dans la nuit du dernier dimanche d'octobre.
La discussion est en cours mais elle devrait durer plusieurs mois encore. En tout cas, selon une consultation publique, 80% des Européens ont exprimé leur souhait de voir le changement d'heure être supprimé. Si la mesure disparaissait à l'avenir, pas moins de 510 millions d'Européens seraient concernés.
With these ideals in mind, do the ends justify the means? Using a reproduction or fake to draw attention to the rich and oft-overlooked intellectual legacy of the Middle East and South Asia might be a small price to pay for widening the circle of cross-cultural curiosity. If the material remains of the science do not exist, or don't fit the narrative we wish to construct, then maybe it's acceptable to imaginatively reconstruct them. Faced with the gap between our scant knowledge of the actual intellectual endeavours of bygone Muslims, and the imagined Islamic past upon which we've laid our weighty expectations, we indulge in the 'freedom' to recreate.

This month, The Weekend Gourmet Dines Out spotlight is shining on Francesca's at Sunset, located inside the acclaimed Westin La Cantera Hill Country Resort. This AAA Four-Diamond Award restaurant features "farm to table" Southwest cuisine from locally sourced ingredients, along with stunning Hill Country views. We were recently invited to come for dinner to try some of their signature menu items. Since we're focusing on Texas products this month, we also enjoyed hand-selected wine flights from Texas wineries with our dinner. We were immediately impressed with the beautiful decor...and the beautiful night view from our table. The restaurant is located on the third floor of the resort, so you have a bird's eye view of the grounds and the surrounding Hill Country. I can only imagine how stunning the sunset views must be during Summer months!
We were warmly welcomed by the staff and quickly shown to our seats. We were then served a lovely amuse bouche, and Resort Sommelier Steven Krueger poured us a glass of Becker Vineyards' refreshing 2011 Provencal wine. The Provencal was a light and fruity rose. It was so refreshing!
We looked over the menu and were impressed with the array of offerings. We started with two appetizers. Michael ordered the Seared Scallops a l'orange, while I opted for a chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup. Michael isn't normally a huge scallop fan, but he loved these! They were perfectly cooked, and the tangy citrus sauce worked perfectly with them. My soup was creamy and full of Spring flavor. The first flavor I tasted was the creamy avocado, then the subtle cucumber. It was really nice, and the pumpkin seeds and micro greens provided a textural contrast.
Our first Texas wine flight arrived with the appetizers. This was a flight of Texas Viognier. These award-winning white wines are from Brennan Vineyards, McPherson Cellars, and Becker Vineyards. All three were crisp and easy to drink, and they paired perfectly with the flavors in our appetizers. Mr. Krueger was so knowledgable, educating us about Texas winemaking over the course of the evening.
While we sipped our wines, we looked over the salad portion of the menu. When our server noticed we had time picking two of the three, he had a brilliant solution...the chef would make us petite versions of all three salads so we could try them all! All three were bursting with flavors and textures. The Seasonal House Salad featured field greens, an apple chip, candied pecans, creamy mild goat cheese, and heirloom cherry tomato...all tossed in a tangy raspberry vinaigrette. The Forelle Pear Salad featured a wine poached in Texas red wine, sharp Maytag blue cheese, pecans, crispy prosciutto, and a pear-balsamic vinegar. This salad was a fantastic combination of sweet, savory, and tangy. The final salad was a mini Blue Bonnet Farm Caesar. This amped-up Caesar features house-made dressing, a crispy garlic-ancho crouton, and parmesan. This spicy take on a classic Caesar was amazingly delicious, and we loved the unique presentation. No matter which one a diner chooses, they won't go wrong!
The salad plates were cleared, and we were eagerly anticipating our entrees...when Chef Stephen Gonzalez appeared from the kitchen to say hello and bring us a surprise bonus course: house-made pork pate with cornichon, grainy mustard, balsamic reduction, and crisp crostini. This was something we likely wouldn't have picked if we'd seen it on the menu, but we absolutely loved it! The pate was flavorful, with a nice texture. When spread on the crostini with a bit of each condiment, it was a flavor explosion in our mouths. Chef Gonzalez is a very talented chef, and we enjoyed having a few minutes to chat with him to personally thank him for such an amazing meal.
As our entrees were being plated, Mr. Krueger brought out a flight of Texas red Tempranillo wines. These wines came from Inwood Estates Vineyards, Pedernales Cellars, and Red Caboose Winery. If you've never had this full-bodied and fruity ruby red wine, I'd encourage you to seek it out. We loved it, and it paired really well with our entrees!
Our entrees arrived shortly after the wine was poured, along with a bonus entree selected by Chef Stephen. Michael loves steak, so he opted for the spicy Guajillo Chile Rubbed Filet of Beef. I can't pass up lobster, so I immediately knew that the Corn Crepe-Lobster Enchilada was perfect for me. Chef Stephen's selection was the Wild Herb Four Spice Brined Pheasant, served with creamy pumpkin goat cheese grits and hericot verts. All three of the entrees were expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The steak was cooked perfectly, the enchiladas were complex and just spicy enough, and the pheasant? It was fantastic! It was juicy and well-seasoned, and the creamy grits paired perfectly with it.
After our plates were cleared, we looked over the dessert menu and enjoyed one more glass of wine. Dickson's Quinta La Cruz is a fortified sweet red dessert wine similar to port. It was stunning...sweet and complex. It matched really nicely with the two desserts we selected. Michael picked the German Chocolate Cheesecake topped with Texas pecans and coconut. It was rich, but not overly so. I opted for the Chocolate Lava Doughnut with Kahlua Mousse and Coffee Chip Ice Cream. The mocha flavor was subtle, and the lava cake was warm and gooey on the inside. When combined with the cold ice cream and creamy mousse, it was the perfect combination of flavor and texture. The portion size of both desserts was perfect after our large meal. It was the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
Francesca's at Sunset is an amazing restaurant -- fantastic food, an amazing selection of wines, and attentive service. Add in the romantic setting and amazing views, and it gets my vote as one of the most romantic special-occasion restaurants in San Antonio. Francesca's at Sunset is open for dinner nightly from 600-1000 p.m. To make reservations, you can visit their website.

From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'Picogram per milliliter [pg/ml]'.
Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'Ounce per gallon (US fluid)'.
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '371 Picogram per milliliter'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be usedas an example, either 'Picogram per milliliter' or 'pg/ml'. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Density'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '32 Picogram per milliliter to Ounce per gallon (US fluid)' or '82 pg/ml -> Ounce per gallon (US fluid)' or '73 pg/ml = Ounce per gallon (US fluid)'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(54 * 27) pg/ml'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '371 Picogram per milliliter + 1113 Ounce per gallon (US fluid)' or '29mm x 69cm x 67dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.


Searching online for health information about IBD can be overwhelming. Learn how to distinguish what's good and what's not.
The internet can be a great resource for IBD information as long as you know which websites to use.
There's a lot of information about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on the internet. Sorting through it all can be confusing.
Government websites like the National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are good places to start. Other potential sources of health information include hospitals, healthcare systems, and professional associations. For example, the American Gastroenterological Association is a professional group for doctors who specialize in digestive system disorders like IBD, but the site has information for patients, too.
You can also ask your primary care doctor and specialists for help. They may be able to recommend websites to help you learn more about your disease.
A website's ending helps you know more about the source of the information. For example, websites ending in .gov represent information from U.S. government agencies. Websites ending with .edu typically represent information from educational institutions, like colleges or universities. A website that ends with .org often, but not always, represents nonprofit organizations, like hospitals, professional associations, research societies, and advocacy groups. Last, websites ending in .com typically represent commercial websites, such as businesses and pharmaceutical companies.
These are some of the more common domain name endings. There are other endings, like .net, .biz, .info, and .name. Trustworthy organizations and individuals may use one of these endings.
Look for an About Us section, usually listed at the top or bottom of a homepage. This section will help you understand the goals of the website and when it was established. It will also help you know if there are medical doctors on the editorial board, notes Danielle Walker, a librarian at the National Library of Medicine. She works with the health information products unit, more commonly known as the MedlinePlus team.
MedlinePlus is the National Library of Medicine's consumer health web resource. It was created in 1998 after it became apparent that many consumers were searching for health information online and needed help finding trustworthy sources of information.
"We have health information topics for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis," Walker says. "We also have a health topic page on evaluating health information along with a tutorial." The website features content from a variety of sources, including national organizations like the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation and health systems like Mayo Clinic.
Sallie Willcox, a patient education librarian at New York University, suggests that people check to see if there are advertisements or sponsored content on health-related websites. If there are a lot of advertisements, it's possible that the health information will be presented to persuade you to buy a particular product or device. One way to tease apart the general health information versus a sales pitch on these websites is whether you're directed to a page to purchase something.
The same goes for personal websites. Hearing about other people's experiences can be helpful at times, but everyone's journey is different. If you're interested in a particular procedure or product mentioned on someone's personal website, make sure you do research. See if the person's recommendations are based on evidence and relevant to other people with your same health condition. For example, you can cross-check claims on personal blogs through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases website or the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation website. Both organizations provide up-to-date information about appropriate ways to manage IBD.
Medical information evolves over time. For example, in 2017 there are medications available to treat IBD that weren't available in the 1980s. To check that the health information you're reading is current, look for a date at the bottom of the webpage to ensure that it was updated recently.
These tips will help you become a wise consumer of online health information. Remember that good health information online should complement, but never replace, medical advice from a trained healthcare provider.

Canadian Senate Security Tells Oil Industry CFO That His 'I Love Canadian Oil & Gas' T-Shirt Is 'Offensive'
David Krayden Ottawa Bureau Chief
September 06, 2019 2:06 PM ET
Security personnel in the Canadian Senate stopped an oil industry executive and told him his t-shirt emblazoned with "I Love Canadian Oil & Gas' was "offensive."
William Lacey was touring Canada's Parliament buildings in Ottawa last month when he was taken aside by a security guard and told that his t-shirt was bound to offend people and he had better leave or turn the t-shirt inside out, Global News reported Thursday.
Lacey couldn't believe he was being singled out, but decided to submit to the order — he reversed the t-shirt. When he returned home to Calgary he wrote an open letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau where he described his ordeal. (RELATED: Pipeline Supporters Target Trudeau For Creating 'Recession Turned Depression')
Canadian Prime Minister speaks to reporters about his plan to eliminate single-use plastics by 2021, June 10, 2019. (CTV News screenshot.)
With a federal election call imminent in Canada, Trudeau remains vulnerable on the energy front. Despite spending $4.5 billion to nationalize the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline in 2018, little work has been completed on a project that aims to transport Alberta crude from Edmonton to the West Coast port of Vancouver.
Moreover, in June, the Trudeau government passed a bill that banned oil tankers from a vast portion of the British Columbia coast.
But Lacey's shirt did not comment on these matters. "What was the offending shirt?" Lacey wrote in his open letter. "Nowhere does the shirt say anything negative, insulting, defamatory or insulting to others."
"The last time I checked, there was nothing illegal about the Canadian energy sector, and yet I was made to feel as though I should be embarrassed for what I was wearing," he wrote.
Demonstrators urge the Canadian government to complete the Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver. Global News screenshot, Sept. 5, 2019.
Lacey, who is employed by Steelhead Petroleum as the chief financial officer, noted that he was not the only tourist present who was wearing a t-shirt with a message that day in the Senate observation deck.
"I would like an answer as to why I was treated in such a manner at the Senate and if it is the policy of the Government of Canada to shame members of the Canadian energy industry," Lacey wrote. (RELATED: Alberta Conservative Leader Says Trudeau Wants Pipeline Project To Die)
Lacey told Global News that since he released his letter to Trudeau, he has received an avalanche of support from average social media users to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney — an enthusiastic booster of Alberta's oil and gas industry.
Lacey insisted that he wasn't trying to offend or make any political statements when he decided to visit the Senate of Canada.
"I'm just part of the crowd. I'm not trying to go up to people and confront them, I'm just trying to advertise the fact that I think Canada does a good job," he said.

November 24, 2014 - Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) International announces the addition of seven new Board Members to it's leadership roster.
The 22-year-old association is seeing an uptick in participation from professionals and corporations who understand the role and value of Information Technologies (IT) in manufacturing. MESA believes the boost in participation, membership numbers, and sponsorship is happening because the business value of such solutions is becoming much more widely recognized across industry.
Industry leaders, like MESA's Board members, are stepping up to help drive these conversations and the education curriculum all around the world. Mike Yost, president, MESA International comments, "MESA is the place where Manufacturing meets IT. We've been demystifying technology and buzzwords for two decades, but now, with IT-based solutions quickly impacting every area of manufacturing, clarity is more important than ever. We're delighted to have these eight individuals step up to help drive that clarity. international hub where the Manufacturing Enterprise meets IT. We've been facilitating conversations about big data and other buzzwords for a few decades, but now, with IT-based solutions quickly impacting every area of manufacturing, there is a real need for focused dialogue on what matters most. We're delighted to have these seven individuals step up to help steer the conversation."


A 28-year-old man was accidentally shot in the face by his brother, who was slaughtering a pig for a family celebration.
Koua Vang, suffered life-threatening injuries and is now in critical condition at Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento hospital in California, police revealed.
The shooting happened at 6.25am on Saturday at Mr Vang's home in a rural part of Elk Grove.
Mr Vang's 31-year-old older brother was trying to shoot two pigs for eating later in the day, according to the Sacramento Bee.
A circle of family members, including Mr Vang, gathered around the two bound pigs while his brother took the shot.
The brother killed one pig, but when he shot the second pig, the animal lurched, hitting the .22-calibre rifle and causing the gun to discharge a second time.
Mr Vang was struck in the face at close range, police revealed, and put on life support at the hospital.
Trying to shoot quick-witted pigs often seems to end in disaster.
In April, a man from Florida accidentally shot his girlfriend in both legs, thinking she was a wild boar.
Steven Egan, 52, was hog hunting Saturday night with girlfriend Lisa Simmons when he left her behind at camp to pursue an animal.
Mr Egan said he then heard a noise in the woods and shot at it, thinking it was the hog. But instead he sent a .30 caliber rifle shot through both of Simmons' upper legs.
She had to be airlifted to a local hospital for surgery.

Q: Find dynamic classname of element with jQuery I'm having a unknown number of elements like so:

What I want to do, is check if each item has a classname starting with "item-". If true, then extract the id. Something like this:
$("container").each(function
    if ($(this).hasClassNameStartingWith("item-"))
        console.debug(theId);
);

How is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

A: Use the contains selector on the class attribute:
$('container[class*=" item-"]').each( function() {
    var classID = null;
    var classes = $(this).attr('class').split( ' ' );
    for (var i = 0, len < classes.length; i < len; ++i) {
        var class = classes[i];
        if (class.match( /^item-/ )) {
            classID = class.replace("item-",'');
            break;
        }
    }
    if (classID) {
        ... do something ...
    }
});

Note the use of quotes to include the space, given your sample mark up.  You could also omit the space if the "item-N" class could appear at the beginning of the list and you were sure that there weren't any classes that would accidentally match that string.
Updated example to show how to extract identifier portion of class name.

A: You can perform a regular expression match on the child elements' class attribute:
var itemIDRe = /(?:^|[ \t\n\r\f\u200b]+)item-([^ \t\n\r\f\u200b]+)/;

$('#container').children().each(function() {
  var match = itemIDRe.exec($(this).attr('class'));
  var itemID = match ? match[1] : null;

  // Do something with itemID.
});

The regular expression is based on the HTML 4 definition for the class attribute  and white space.

Pic of the Day: Frank Gehry's Melting School
By Judy Berman
Frank Gehry strikes again! The starchitect has revealed the plan for his first-ever Australian building, a business school. We're wondering how the University of Technology Sydney feels about paying $150 million for a structure that's been nicknamed The Treehouse and already looks like it's melting or imploding or something. As for Gehry, he's characteristically modest about his achievement: "Historically the great artists of our history have always been fascinated with the fold. Michaelangelo did many drawings, Leonardo Da Vinci did many drawings on that topic, and I've been fascinated with that topic." [via UnBeige]

CCSF gives some freshmen a break on enrollment
Nanette Asimov, Chronicle Staff Writer
1of3A 6th semester City College of San Francisco students holds her notebook tightly inside Smith Hall on Monday January 31, 2010 in San Francisco, Calif. She said she has heard many story of students who have had to delay advancements in studies because they could get the classes they needed. In recent years, because of a growing population of students, incoming freshman have found it difficult to get into basic core classes doing their first and sometime second year of school. A new "pilot" program has been recently introduced to streamline and prioritizes admittance into core classes for a certain croup of incoming San Francisco students.Mike Kepka/The ChronicleShow MoreShow Less

3of3Connor Foley, 19, a second semester student at City College of San Francisco stands in line inside Smith Hall to add a math class to his schedule on Monday January 31, 2010 in San Francisco, Calif. Foley said the only way he could get into the class was to go to the class for four days straight hoping that somebody would dropout and leave him a space. In recent years, because of a growing population of students, incoming freshman have found it difficult to get into basic core classes doing their first and sometime second year of school.

A popular TV sitcom about a community college has an episode where students compete for a prize so valuable that they turn on each other and trash the campus just to possess it.
"What is this prize?" asks a student who's been out of the loop.
Dramatic pause. "Priority registration," answers another. "Every student wants that prize, dude."
In that moment, the show called "Community" mimics real life.
First-time students at community colleges across California say their biggest frustration is being shut out of classes they need - even basic math and English - because campuses make them register after everyone else has signed up. That has been blamed for the 70 percent dropout rate at community colleges and for forcing taxpayers to subsidize students' education for years beyond what is necessary to transfer to a university.
Now, City College of San Francisco Chancellor Don Griffin hopes to reduce the dropout rate and educate students more quickly by offering priority registration next fall to newly minted graduates of San Francisco public schools. That's about 1,300 of all 8,000 first-time students aiming to transfer or earn a certificate.
"It's a simple, elegant solution to a problem we've been dodging," Griffin said. "Students say, 'Your registration is outrageous.' They feel it's upside down. It's part of why students drop out."
Willie Shaw, 18, couldn't agree more.
"I thought about quitting school two days ago," said Shaw, who graduated from Marshall High in San Francisco in June and enrolled in City College this semester. He got into English and basketball - but not math or the criminal justice class he was looking forward to.
"It seems like they're just playing a lot of games," Shaw said. "I want to get down to business."
State law requires priority registration for veterans, disabled students and those who participate in Extended Opportunity Programs and Services to help them stay in school.
City College also gives priority to athletes and students in nursing or culinary programs who need schedules that won't conflict with field practice or time in the hospital or restaurant.
Returning students go next. And freshmen get the dregs.
"It's horrible," said Matthew Chung, 21, who took so long to get the classes he needed that he's now in his fourth year of what was supposed to be a two-year program.
Last fall, Griffin tried an experiment. He let a few hundred freshmen register a month before their peers to see what would happen.
Got what she wanted
Jacqueline Calderon, 18, was one of them. Her Burton High diploma was barely dry in June before it was time for her to sign up for classes.
"I just typed in the codes, and it said I got 'em," Calderon said. She registered for English, math, Latin American studies and a course called College Success.
"I was, like, excited to get my classes," she said. It didn't take long to realize that not everyone had a similar experience.
She felt bad for them, but relieved that her entry into college went so smoothly, she said.
Of the 321 freshmen with priority registration, 74 percent got into math, and 70 percent got into English, said Laurie Scolari, an associate dean.
By contrast, a similar group from 2009 that didn't get to register early fared worse: 22 percent got into math and 47 percent got into English.
"I applaud the experiment," said Jack Scott, chancellor of the state community college system.
Last year, 140,000 students tried to enroll in California's community colleges, but couldn't because there weren't enough courses.
Scott said that priority registration for first-time students seeking a degree or certificate could ease the problem by moving students through the system faster.
He said he expects to recommend that all 72 college districts do something similar to what's being tried at the San Francisco campus.
It would be in line with new recommendations from California's legislative analyst that state lawmakers adopt guidelines for priority registration. Students fresh out of high school who plan to transfer or earn a certificate would be second in line after students making progress toward a degree.
City College will expand its registration program next fall with help from a three-year, $3 million grant from the Gates Foundation to encourage more San Francisco students to attend college and graduate.

Free Pick Breakdown, Odds & Prediction: Las Vegas Bowl – Florida vs. Oregon State (12/17/2022)
By Ryan Potts
Florida vs. Oregon State (12/17 @ 2:30 p.m. EST.)
Line: Oregon State -10
Florida vs Oregon State Breakdown and Betting Odds
The Florida Gators (6-6) and No. 14 Oregon State Beavers (9-3) are squaring off in the Las Vegas Bowl Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET. The Beavers are 10-point favorites. The over/under is set at 52.5 points.
The Gators and Beavers have never played against one another despite their long histories. This is Florida's 48th bowl game and Oregon State's 17th bowl game.
Florida Overview
Gators fans have felt quite an array of emotions this season. They began the season unranked, but they shot up to No. 12 in the AP Poll after a stunning win over then No. 7 Utah. The stage was set for Florida to crash the College Football Playoff behind Heisman-winning quarterback Anthony Richardson. However, reality set in over the next three weeks as the Gators lost to Kentucky at home and Tennessee in Knoxville on opposite ends of a near-loss against a USF team that ended with one win. Now 2-2, Florida beat FCS Eastern Washington and Missouri before dropping games against LSU and Georgia. Florida became bowl-eligible after wins over Texas A&M and South Carolina, but they ended the regular season with consecutive losses against Vanderbilt and Florida State. Anthony Richardson did not win the Heisman.
Richardson had some fun moments this season, and he might be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft, but he still has work to do. He finished with a healthy 26 total touchdowns to only nine interceptions, but he completed just 53.8% of his passes. He was a large part of the Gators' rushing attack, ending with 654 yards. Montrell Johnson led the way with 144 carries, 827 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Trevor Etienne tacked on 705 yards and six touchdowns. The receiving game was largely a combined effort. Xzavier Henderson led the team with 38 catches. Ricky Pearsall and Justin Shorter surpassed 500 yards. Pearsall hauled in five touchdowns to lead the team. All told, the Gators finished 43rd in scoring offense. They had one of the better rush offenses in the country, racking up 5.8 yards per carry.
Defensively, Florida was bordering on disaster. They allowed 28.8 points per game, ranking 91st in the country. They had several meltdowns including allowing 45 points to LSU and Florida State and 42 points to Georgia. Even in some of their wins, Florida allowed 26 points to Utah, 28 points to USF, and 24 points to Texas A&M. No Gator finished with more than five sacks, and the team intercepted just nine passes in 12 games. Amari Burney was the most impactful player, racking up 71 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles. Florida had a moderate pass defense, but they were often gashed on the ground, allowing 4.5 yards per rush. They were able to force and recover 15 fumbles, aiding a healthy turnover differential.
On the season, Florida is 7-5 ATS. They have covered in four of the last five weeks including their losses to Georgia and Florida State. As multi-score underdogs, Florida was 0-3 in the games, but they covered in all three games. Florida is 5-0 ATS in games they were underdogs. The over is 7-5 in Florida games. The over has hit in four of the last six games including an impressive 83 points in the Florida-Florida State game.
Oregon State Overview
Oregon State opened up with a 3-0 non-conference start before dropping games to USC and Utah. However, they quickly hit their stride and knocked off Stanford, Washington State, and Colorado. After a slip-up against Washington, Oregon State won out with dominating wins over California and Arizona State before beating No. 10 Oregon in the Civil War. Now No. 17 in the AP poll, Oregon State has its highest ranking since 2022, and they were ranked at all for the first time since 2013. Oregon State is looking for its first 10-win season since 2006. With a win, Oregon State would have its highest winning percentage since an 11-1 season in 2000.
Oregon State has had one of the better offenses in college football, scoring 32.4 points per game, good for 37th in the country. A 68-point outburst against FCS Montana State helps, but they also scored 34 or more in wins over Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado, California, and Oregon. They have scored 107 points in their three-game win streak. The Beavers have not had the most potent passing attack, splitting time between Ben Gulbranson and Chance Nolan. Nolan began the season, starting the first five games off this season. After a neck injury, Gulbranson replaced Nolan and has yet to look back. Gulbranson has 12 total touchdowns and five interceptions. The Beavers have relied on the rushing attack primarily through Damien Martinez. Martinez has 970 yards and seven touchdowns. Deshaun Fenwick and Jamious Griffin have been solid change-of-pace players. Fenwick has seven touchdowns to match Martinez, and Griffin is second on the team in yards. Tre'Shaun Harrison is by far Oregon State's top receiving option, leading the team with 52 catches for 604 yards and four touchdowns.
The Beavers have had a solid defense, allowing 21.4 points per game. They have a stout pass defense, allowing a 57.9% completion rate and picking off one pass per game. The rush defense was not quite as sturdy, but the Beavers were often in good game scripts. On an individual level, the Beavers did not have a major standout in the front seven, but 12 players pitched in with at least 0.5 sacks. James Rawls only notched 1.5 sacks, but he had 9.0 tackles for loss. Omar Speights recorded 6.0 tackles for loss despite not recording a sack. On the back end, Ryan Cooper, Alex Austin, and Rejzohn Wright each had at least nine pass deflections. Jaydon Grant, Kitan Oladapo, and Kyrei Fisher pitched in with a combined 17.
Oregon State is 10-2 ATS, only failing to cover in their loss to Utah and their small win over Stanford. They have covered in the last six games including a 5-0 record as favorites. As double-digit favorites, Oregon State blew out Montana State (-16.5), Colorado (-23), and California (-11.5). The over is 7-5 in Oregon State games. In the non-conference, the over hit in two of three games.
Free Pick: Florida +10
Florida has their fair share of strange performances this season, but they have lost by 11 or more just once – against the best team in college football. In their other five losses, Florida has lost by 10, 5, 10, 7, and 7 again. Therefore, Florida +10 is a reasonable bet. Oregon State has been excellent at covering the spread, but Florida is one of the stronger teams that the Beavers have played. Asking Oregon State to win by multiple scores could be a tough ask.


Someones always on the hot seat.....always. Coaches, players, and staff. But did you ever take a time to think who makes the seat hot? The Redskins Experience discovered how the players stay warm on a cold night like tonight on MNF. This exclusive video may surprise you.

Sound Proofing
How to Soundproof a Brick Wall?
July 13, 2022 May 19, 2022 by Sound proved Team
In this blog, we will discuss in detail, all the possible ways through which, we can make a brick wall soundproof.
The hustle and bustle of external disturbances will be greatly stifled, and your space will no longer be an echo chamber for your every word or movement. Soundproofing brick walls can turn a rather uncomfortable living situation into a contented one, where the hustle and bustle of external disturbances will be greatly stifled.
When it comes to soundproofing your area, there are a few things to remember. We've gathered some of the most beneficial and practical strategies to help you achieve the calm atmosphere of your dreams, whether you're attempting to construct a quiet environment in which to focus and work or simply seeking to obtain some well-deserved privacy from neighbours.
You're probably thinking about what you could do to soundproof a brick wall once it's been constructed. Perhaps many of these processes were not included in the construction process, or these planned stages were just insufficient. Rest assured that there are still a few options available.
When attempting to soundproof a wall, the density of the wall will be the most important thing to consider.
It's critical to comprehend all of the underlying concepts of soundproofing in connection to the requirements of the wall or room in question since one could waste a lot of money on the process only to have the soundproofing issue persist.
On a very serious note, a professional opinion is a must before doing anything by yourself, as this will at the very least provide expert insight on what will and will not work for the building structure.
Due to its physical properties and characteristics, soundproofing a brick wall provides unique obstacles, making it particularly easy to soundproof.
Following are the best possible ways through which we can make a brick wall soundproof, cheaply and effectively.
Soundproofing Sealant or Caulk
Adding a Drywall Layer
Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV)
Insulating the Wall
If the wall has any fractures or holes through which sound waves can pass, they should be sealed before proceeding with more complicated solutions.
Soundproofing sealant is quite inexpensive, may be used to close up any spaces that allow for 'flanking,' and can serve as a good starting point for other soundproofing techniques.
How to apply a soundproof sealant?
Following is the stepwise procedure:
Place the sealant into a caulking gun.
Look out for the wholes where sound is leaking.
Press the sealant into the hole and fill them up with multiple coating
It will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to dry the sealant.
Material Needed Tools Required
Soundproofing sealant caulking gun.
This approach is common and successful, and it works by adding heft and thickness to the sound waves, reducing their travel distance. It's a fantastic long-term solution because it's easy to do and doesn't require tearing down the original brick wall.
Increasing the overall mass of the wall will help to create an atmosphere where sound vibrations are more difficult to flow through or bounce about. Only very low frequencies will be able to slip through.
Sound will bounce off the drywall before reaching the brick wall if you add a layer of double drywall that is distinct from the brick wall.
Although two layers of drywall are the most popular, you can add as many layers as you need, and applying Green Glue during the process will provide an additional barrier.
Resonating frequencies can be reduced by treating the wall with soundproofing materials like Green Glue. The wall will need to be padded with drywall before being treated with soundproofing material, and then a layer of drywall will be fixed following treatment.
Green Glue might help to reduce the transfer of low frequencies to the wall. Green glue has the power to transform soundwaves into heat and is particularly excellent in dealing with low-frequency sound energy and reducing sound in the building's interior.
It's inexpensive and recommended if you're having trouble with low noise frequencies.
How to use Green Glue?
This is a three-step procedure for using green glue.
On the backside of the second drywall, apply many coats of green glue; preferably, 1-2 tubes should suffice.
Now press down this drywall on top of the existing wall, keeping in mind that it will dry in 15 minutes.
Attach the second drywall to the existing drywall with screws.
As a result, green sealant can help us damper soundwaves and minimise resonance indirectly and is the most appropriate method for soundproofing existing walls.
Materials Needed Tools Needed
Green Glue Dispensing gun
Mass loaded vinyl is an excellent source of non-resonant mass and comes in a variety of types and price ranges. It's made of vinyl, which has a lot of mass and is naturally dense, but still has a lot of flexibility.
MLV can be used on walls, floors, and ceilings that are isolated. Its mass relative qualities are what allow it to reduce sound transmission and deal with excessive noise.
It comes in a range of shapes and sizes, and the cheapest MLV is made from less expensive materials. Some types of high-quality MLV are extruded and contain polymeric plasticizers that give the MLV strength and stability.
MLV can be used to soundproof existing walls or surfaces, and it works equally well when positioned loosely or tautly against the soundproofing region, as well as when attached to framings or between layers of drywall.
As a result, you can install it in whatever method is most comfortable for you and best suits the wall or space in the issue.
Material Needed
Mass loaded vinyl
Insulating the Walls
Adding insulation to the internal space of the wall, depending on how the wall was built, maybe a viable alternative. This will require the services of a professional, but it is relatively inexpensive and takes little time to execute.
Fibreglass is popular because it dries quickly, and cellulose is more environmentally friendly.
The basic concept of decoupling, as mentioned in the core elements of soundproofing, is to accept soundwaves and break the wavelength to stop the soundwave and its associated vibrations from moving.
Because soundwaves are contained within the air chambers, they are less likely to pass through the other side of the wall. The procedure requires the construction of two walls separated by a small space. Because the goal of decoupling will be lost if an air chamber is missing, loosely fitted insulation between studs is widely thought to be crucial for its efficacy.
Decoupling can be done through different methods such as:
A room within a room
Double stud wall
The Staggered Stud Wall
Sound Isolation Clip
Another good technique to decouple single walls is to use studs, which can be used to dampen sound. The sound isolation clips are inserted into the hat channels, and the drywall is screwed to the channel to avoid contact with the studs.
Decoupling methods are all more complicated approaches to soundproofing, and some aren't cheap or straightforward. It may not be possible to tackle these ways right once, so it's a good idea to start with some of the simpler options. It is, nevertheless, extremely effective.
Sound is produced by a variety of sources and must travel via continuous media to reach its destination. The medium could be anything that can operate as a conductor for soundwaves, depending on the medium's particular physical features.
Air is one of the major media through which sound vibrations travel, even though there are numerous types of mediums that can work as a conductor for sound. The sound will continue to travel by bouncing off molecules and particles it encounters.
When it comes to soundproofing, the goal is to ensure that soundwaves and related vibrations are controlled to the point where sound from outside sources is blocked and soundwave movement within the room is controlled.
When evaluating any of these options, the factors of soundproofing play an important role, and because successful soundproofing requires a combination of these elements, a combination of solutions may be more effective overall.
There are several options for soundproofing a brick wall, but the ideal method will depend on the characteristics of the room or wall in issue, the budget, the timeframe, and the level of soundproofing required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): How to Soundproof a Brick Wall?
There are several options for soundproofing a brick wall, but the ideal method will depend on the characteristics of the room or wall in issue, the budget, the timeframe, and the level of soundproofing required. However, we have discussed all the possible solutions in detail in this blog.
Is double brick wall soundproof?
Due to the high density of the mass in a double brick wall, double brick prevents sound from travelling through it. The air or insulating air in between the walls further prevents the noise from passing through it. But, of course, it also depends upon the intensity of the sound, which can be heard on either side of the wall.
How thick is a double brick cavity wall?
A typical cavity width of a brick wall is 50mm.
Why is there space between brick walls?
The masons need to leave 1" of air space between the frame and the brick wall. Brick and mortar are very porous and will let the water pass through, during the process this 1" gap plays a vital role in draining the moisture out of the cavity.
How much does a brick wall reduce noise?
Due to the mass, it possesses a brick wall is supposed to reduce the amount of noise up to 50%. Doesn't matter how small or tall the wall is it the wall itself and concrete will always, reduce the amount of noise coming from the traffic and outer intrusive.
How wide is the gap between bricks?
The standard brick joint is 3/8 inch. Proper brick bond is important in even distribution of load, strength and ultimate waterproofing from an architecture point of view. Keeping all these factors in mind 3/8 inches is the perfect gap joint between bricks.

Imperial Novak
Posted byOwen Jan 19, 2023 Jan 20, 2023 Posted inUncategorizedTags:Article, ATP, Australian Open, Crowd, Djokovic
My first impression of the crowd was that there were plenty of Djokovic fans. And there were, but Djokovic's detractors — and maybe this plays into the narrative that he isn't popular — are very loud. I sat in front of a row of them way back in the second-highest row on Rod Laver Arena. The people next to me were just fine, one of whom I turned to at the beginning of the match to ask who he was rooting for.
"Djokovic," he said. That was the end of the conversation. The first set went by in a blur; Djokovic's opponent, Enzo Couacaud, rolled his ankle badly and lost three straight games after his MTO at 3-1 down. It left me feeling a bit icky — Couacaud had reportedly told the physio he heard something crack in his ankle, and he'd limped badly over to his chair, but he elected to play on nonetheless.
Rough luck for Enzo Couacaud out on Laver against Djokovic. Rolled his right ankle in the fourth game. Tells the trainer "I heard it crack".
— Eleanor Crooks (@EleanorcrooksPA) January 19, 2023
Couacaud actually played quite well for the final three sets of the match, as did Djokovic, despite the Serb's increasingly obvious discomfort from his hamstring injury. Though physical impairment certainly affects performance in tennis, it always seems to be less impactful than we expect. Rafa Nadal picked up an injury late in the second set of his loss to Mackenzie McDonald that's expected to keep him out for eight weeks, but Nadal slapped enough forehand winners in the third set to actually make it closer than the first two. And tonight, Djokovic blasted through the final two sets after losing a tight tiebreak, for the loss of just two games. Whatever parts of his game were hampered by the hamstring he made up for by blasting neon missiles with his forehand.
It's kind of a stomach-turning dynamic, this. Djokovic is so much better than Couacaud, and many others, that he'll knowingly play through injury because he's fully aware he can beat them anyway. For all of his struggles tonight, he didn't lose his serve and he faced just one break point. I have no idea how much worse he made his hamstring injury, but I imagine he's prepared to sit in a body cast for a month if that's what it takes to win this tournament. We all remember how Djokovic played through a growing ab tear at this tournament two years ago and waxed Medvedev in the final anyway. He wrecked his body to win, his play being so good that things actually worked out the way he wanted them to. It's certainly amazing, but I find it hard to watch, imagining what kind of pain he's putting himself through.
On Djokovic's dominance at this tournament, I'm genuinely curious what would happen if the same scientists who built the invincible chess and Go bots built a tennis bot and sicced it on Djokovic on Rod Laver Arena. How do you play Djokovic on a hard court? His serve has become near-untouchable. It's not quite an Isner serve, but I'd almost rather try to break Isner at this point — send a return at the big man's feet and he'll snap in two trying to reach down for it, hit the ball onto Djokovic's baseline and he'll simply half-volley the ball back before commencing an onslaught of deep groundstrokes. Good returns are no guarantee you'll win a point against that serve. Then he has the return, the drop shot, the increasingly soft feel at net. In the first round, Djokovic dropped all of three points in the third set against Roberto Carballés Baena. Let me know how they program that tennis bot, because I'd love to see what gameplan it uses. My guess is it'd just play like Djokovic, only its machine-like precision would be literal rather than figurative. They'd probably play a five-setter that lasted ten hours.
Yeah, put that 3rd set of Djokovic-Carballes Baena in the time capsule. That was insane.
No one on this Earth, of this time or any past time would've taken more than a game off of Djokovic in that form. Maybe not even a game.
— Juan José (@jjvallejoa) January 18, 2023
Seriously, how do you beat a motivated Djokovic here? If you didn't watch the match against Couacaud and only saw the scoreline, you'd have no idea whatsoever that he was physically compromised. (The scoreline 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-0 is so very Djokovic.) At the World Tour Finals last year, the 21-time major champion emptied the tank against Daniil Medvedev in the round-robin stage, then was shaking with exhaustion by the fourth game against Casper Ruud in the final. He won anyway, never facing a break point. Some will say he was foxing to set up a rug-pull, but my theory is that he's just good enough that he doesn't even need to be fit to beat anyone outside the top two or three in the world.
The row of increasingly disgruntled Couacaud aficionados behind me grew antsier as Djokovic stretched his lead. "Bang!" they'd yell after every shot. "Yes!" they'd cry when a Couacaud lob landed in. Someone a couple rows in front of them told them to shut up. They clapped back at her, asking why she'd come out to the stadium instead of watching on TV.
"It's just that the players can hear you when you shout during the point," I tried.
"The people behind us are being loud too!" one of them responded, gesturing to the fans behind a glass partition. "You gonna tell them off?"
"Behind the glass?" I asked. I couldn't believe they were equating themselves with fans in a sealed-off room. (In retrospect, I half-wish I'd slowly explained that the glass muffled the sound, thereby making those fans less offensive. Though maybe that would have ended badly.)
They repeated that the fans behind the glass were being loud. I gave up after that; any fully grown human being who uses the others are doing it, so it's okay if I do defense is probably too sloshed to successfully reason with. Interestingly, though, while the row of fans clearly wanted Djokovic to lose, they also clearly understood how great he was. I heard, "how the fuck did he get that back?" more than once. Djokovic's rifled return winners drew involuntary gasps. One of the hecklers laughed when someone suggested that they settle down early in the second set.
"Why? He's gonna win anyway."
With that last statement, at least, I had no argument.
A drunk fan got on Djokovic's nerves early in the fourth set. Though the crowd was too loud for me to hear his conversation with Fergus Murphy, he was clearly peeved. Injured and irked by drunk fans, a lesser player might have buckled. Djokovic stepped back to the baseline, flung a first serve out wide, then fired a forehand winner into the right corner. If there's anything I know about Djokovic, it's that the heat from fans makes him stronger even as it hurts him personally.
After Djokovic ripped a stunning two-hander through the court on match point, I turned back to the guy next to me who had said he was rooting for Djokovic. "Were you ever worried?" I asked him. Sure, Djokovic had won easily in the end, but his physical impairment had been clear in that lengthy second set. I was a little grateful I wasn't deeply invested in either player's eventual success; the stress on top of the roiling crowd would have been brutal.
But he laughed and shook his head. "No, no," he said. "Not until the second week."

Coral Way
'Old Miami Brothel', Now a Dumpy Office, Sells For $421K
By Sean McCaughan Jul 16, 2014, 12:42pm EDT
This rather rough and tumble little office building on Coral Way just sold for $421,000 recently, which would have gone rather unnoticed most likely, had the realtors, a one Mr. Timothy Merriman Jr. and another Jeremy Larkin, both of NAI Miami, not been made privy to some rather salacious information, which was immediately sent over to Curbed. Take from it what you will:
Jeremy Larkin stated, "As told by one of the office building's owners, when they purchased the building, it was purportedly previously been run as a brothel, rumored to be the first one in operation in old time Miami. While the owner was never able to formally confirm this urban legend, he was able to obtain corroboration from a former worker at the property." · NAI Miami [NAI]

Baguio mayor opens Burnham Park for campers
No place to stay in Baguio City? Try Burnham Park.
Baguio City mayor Mauricio Domogan announced that he would allow tourists to use portions of the park as campsites, at least for a night.
Domogan said he has received reports from the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio (HRAB) that most local hotels, inns, and transient houses are already fully booked ahead of the coming Christmas season.
"We have to open suitable portions of Burnham Park for those interested to put up their tents and stay overnight for them to have a feel of the city's cool and romantic weather," the mayor was quoted in a Baguio Herald Express report.
"However, they must adhere to the rules governing cleanliness in order to keep our park clean for others to use," Domogan added.
Among the areas that are being eyed for campers are the picnic grove, the open space within the skating rink and portions of the Ibaloi Park.
Domogan said the city government would also ask operators of pay toilets at the park to ensure that their facilities are open 24 hours to serve the campers.
Tourists wanting to camp at the park should bring their own tents and register first with the City Environment and Parks Management Office for monitoring purposes, according to Domogan.
Policemen are also under orders to patrol the tent areas round-the-clock to secure the campers and apprehend anyone doing illegal activities, he added.
