El parque de Rock Creek, en inglés, Rock Creek Park, o en español Parque del arroyo Rock, es un gran parque urbano que biseca el cuadrante de Noroeste de Washington, D.C.  El parque fue creado por un Acta de Congreso en 1890, y hoy está administrado por el Servicio de Parques Nacionales.  Además del propio parque,  la unidad administrativa de Rock Creek del Servicio de Parques Nacionales administra otras propiedades federales en el Distrito de Columbia localizadas al del norte y del oeste del National Mall, incluyendo el Parque Meridian Hill en la Calle 16, N.W., la Vieja Casa de Piedra en Georgetown, y alguno de los parques de  Fort Circle, una serie de baterías y fuertes que rodean el Distrito de Columbia y que sirvieron para su defensa durante la Guerra Civil de los EE. UU.

Historia

Rock Creek fue establecido por un acta del Congreso de los Estados Unidos convertida en una ley por el Presidente Benjamin Harrison el 27 de septiembre de 1890, tras la activa campaña de Charles C. Glover y otros líderes cívicos y en los albores de la creación del Zoológico Nacional el año precedente.

Fue el tercer parque nacional establecido por los Estados Unidos, tras el parque nacional de Yellowstone en 1872 y el parque nacional Mackinac en 1875.

El parque nacional de las Secuoyas fue creado al mismo tiempo y el parque nacional de Yosemite poco después. En 1933, el parque Rock Creek pasó a formar parte de la recientemente creada unidad de Parques de la Capital Nacional del Servicio de Parques Nacionales.

El Acta del  parque de Rock Creek autorizó la compra de un máximo de 2,000 acres de tierra, extendiéndolo hacia el norte desde el puente de Klingle Ford en el Distrito de Columbia (aproximadamente en el límite del norte del Zoológico Nacional), para ser "perpetuamente dedicado y conservado como un parque público o instalación de recreo para el uso y disfrute de los habitantes de los Estados Unidos". El Acta también solicitaba controles para "proporcionar la preservación contra cualquier daño o el expolio de cualquier madera, animales o curiosidades dentro del citado parque y el mantenimiento en su condición natural, tan similar como fuera posible". El parque Rock Creek es el parque urbano natural más antiguo en el Sistema de Parques Nacionales. La construcción del parque comenzó en 1897.

En 1913, el Congreso autorizó la creación  del paseo de coches de Rock Creek y el Potomac y extendió el parque a lo largo de un estrecho corredor desde el zoológico a la desembocadura del arroyo Creek en el río Potomac. El paseo de coches es una importante vía de tráfico, especialmente a lo largo del sección al sur del zoológico. El parque es patrullado por la Policía de Parques de los Estados Unidos.

Descripción

La sección principal del parque abarca 7,10 km² (2,74 mi2 ,1.754 acres ), a lo largo del valle del arroyo Rock. Incluyendo otras áreas verdes que el parque administra (Parque Glover Archbold, Parque Montrose, Parque de los Robles de Dumbarton, Parque Meridian Hill, Parque de la batería Kemble, Parque Palisades, Parque Whitehaven, etc.),  abarca más de 8 km²  (3 mi2 , 2.000 acres).

El parque sigue el curso del arroyo Rock a través de la frontera entre el Distrito de Columbia y Maryland para conectar el parque de Rock Creek Stream Valley y el Parque regional Rock Creek en el condado de Montgomery. Los parques de Maryland están operados por el Maryland-Parque de la Capital Nacional y Comisión de Planeamiento .

El Distrito histórico del arroyo Rock fue registrado en el Registro Nacional de Sitios Históricos el 23 de octubre de 1991.

Las instalaciones de recreo incluyen un campo de golf, sendas ecuestres, instalaciones deportivas que incluyendo en un estadio de tenis que alberga importantes eventos internacionales, un centro de naturaleza, un planetario, el anfiteatro Carter Barron, un auditorio exterior para conciertos, instalaciones para pícnic y parques infantiles. El parque de Rock Creek también alberga exposiciones culturales, incluyendo el histórico Molino Peirce. Rock Creek es un lugar popular  para correr, practicar ciclismo, y patinaje sobre ruedas, especialmente en el largo Paseo de Playa, porciones del cual son cerrados al tráfico los fines de semana.

Un número de destacados puentes de la ciudad, como los de Lauzun's Legion, Dumbarton, Taft y Duke Ellington, se suceden a lo largo del arroyo.

Entre los monumentos del parque destacar un banco de granito rosa cerca del Paseo de la Playa al sur del Molino Peirce, dedicado el 7 de noviembre de 1936 por Presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt a la memoria del que fue embajador francés en Washington Jean Jules Jusserand. En 2014, fue nombrado "mejor monumento oculto" por la publicación  Washington City Paper.

Centro hípico
El centro hípico del parque Rock Creek, fundado en 1972, está situado en medio del parque cerca del Centro de Naturaleza. Las cuadras, gestionadas por el Guest service Inc, tiene 57 establos, dos anillos exteriores, uno anillo interior, y tres prados. El establo organiza paseos de a caballo, paseos en pony y clases para el público, así como lugar de alojamiento para caballos privados. El establo enseña principalmente equitación inglesa, con un énfasis en el salto de bajo nivel y la doma clásica.

El centro hípico es también la sede del  Rock creek Riders, un programa de equitación terapéutico para adultos y niños con necesidades especiales en el área del D.C. Los pasados participantes en el programa incluyen veteranos de los conflictos de Irak y Afganistán con daños cerebrales  y personas con autismo, parálisis cerebral o desórdenes de déficit de atención.

El programa es gestionado por voluntarios  y se basa en donaciones y contribuciones para su financiación. Con anterioridad, Rock Creek Riders había trabajado con la Policía Montada de Estados Unidos, el Servicio de Parques Nacionales, el Proyecto Guerrero Herido y los programas asistidos Caisson Platoon Equine para proporcionar estos servicios de equitación terapéuticos.

Los campamentos de verano del centro hípico son populares entre los residentes del DC. El centro hípico ofrece  campamento de verano de 9 a 3 para niños de más de ocho años, y un campamento de tarde de dos horas campamento para niños entre cinco y ocho años. El establo también implementado programa de verano formación de monitores para adolescentes.

El Molino Peirce

El Molino Pierce es un antiguo molino de agua para moler cereales situado dentro del parque de Rock Creek. Hubo al menos ocho molinos a lo largo de arroyo Rock dentro de lo que es ahora Washington, D.C., y muchos más río arriba en el condado de Montgomery en Maryland. De aquellos ocho, Peirce es el único molino que todavía está en pie.

Fue construido en la década de 1820 por Isaac Peirce, junto con una casa, un granero y otros edificios. Más tarde pasó a su hijo, Joshua Peirce y un sobrino Peirce Shoemaker. Pasó a ser parte del parque Rock Creek en 1892.

El familiar coherentemente deletreó su nombre "Peirce" (excepto algunos de los antepasados de Isaac Peirce quién lo hizo como Pearce). Otros a menudo el usaron "Pierce" pero no la familia. La evidencia incluye lápidas familiares, la Biblia familiar, y libro de propiedad de Joshua Peirce, y los descendientes aún vivos quienes todavía utilizan la antigua grafía.

El molino fue incluido en Registro Nacional en 1969 cuando como Molino Peirce. Fue restaurado y se reabrió el 15 de octubre de 2011.

El cobertizo para carruajes de Peirce, adyacente al molino, abre habitualmente todos los días. El cobertizo es el punto de contacto de Servicio de Parques Nacionales. El cobertizo era parte de la propiedad de los Peirce construida en 1810 y fue utilizado como habitación para ensillar y cobertizo de carruajes. El cobertizo es ahora un pequeño museo que contiene información en el proceso de molienda, la propiedad de los Peirce y otros molinos a lo largo del valle del arroyo Rock.

Administración
como originalmente fue autorizado por Congreso, el parque ha estado gobernado por la Comisión de parque de Rock Creek, que comprende el Jefe de Ingenieros del Ejército, el ingeniero del Distrito de Columbia, y tres delegados presidenciales.   En 1933, el parque, junto con otros parques de la Capital Nacional, fue transferido a la jurisdicción del Servicio de Parques Nacionales.

Parque Rock Creek es también una unidad administrativa del Servicio de Parques Nacionales responsable de la administración de 99 propiedades en el Distrito de Columbia al norte y oeste del National Mall y Parques Conmemorativos.  Las propiedades incluyen varios parques, paseos de coches, edificios, rotondas, cruces en triángulo, monumentos, y estatuas e incluyen:

Parques Montrose y Dumbarton Oaks

El parque Montrose ocupa un terreno que perteneció a Robert Parrott.

Adyacente a él está el  parque Dumbarton Oaks, parque de los Robles de Dumbarton, el cual preserva las tierras de la antigua finca Dumbarton Oaks . La casa y su jardín no son parte del parque.

Ambos parques fueron incluidos en la lista del Registro Nacional de Sitios Históricos el 28 de mayo de 1967.

Vieja Casa de Piedra
La Vieja Casa de Piedra, Old Stone House en inglés, el edificio más antiguo de Washington, D.C. Es una sencilla vivienda del . La casa es un popular museo, que muestra la vida diaria de colonizadores de clase media. Fue adquirida por el gobierno federal en 1953 y ha estado abierta al público desde la década de 1960s. La casa está localizada en el barrio de Georgetown. No está situada en un terreno contiguo al  parque Rock Creek, pero la propiedad está gestionada por el personal de parque.

Importancia demográfica

Nostalgia can be quite a curious thing when you think about it. It is foundry remembering the past; any place, thing, or action we did in the past. Believe it or not, nostalgia can be very important to our self identity, and our mental health. In the 1680s, nostalgia was seen as an illness. Soldiers longing for home was said to have the disease of nostalgia, but research shows that nostalgia is a good thing for us.

VERGENNES — Residential school tax rates in two of the five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union towns are expected to drop, according to estimates prepared by the ANwSU office, while homeowners' rates in two other union towns are projected to rise by less than 3 cents.
Only in Addison, where unexpected costs during this school year have created a $75,000 deficit at Addison Central School, do ANwSU officials estimate the residential school tax rate will increase significantly, by about 13 cents.
Overall, ANwSU business manager Donna Corcoran said officials are happy to release the estimates, which assume residents pass all four proposed district school budgets on Town Meeting Day.
"It feels pretty good to put these out," Corcoran said.
The projections do not include the portion of town tax rates necessary to support town office and road spending, which are projected to rise in the five union towns. They also assume the statewide school tax rate will be 87 cents, the last recommended figure by state officials, not the 85-cent rate first put out by the tax department in early December.
The communities looking at possible residential school tax rate decreases are Vergennes, where the estimate calls for a drop of 0.09 cent to $1.259 per $100 of property value, and Ferrisburgh, where officials project a drop of 0.08 cent to $1.267.
• Panton homeowners are looking at an increase of 1.4 cents to $1.279.
• Waltham homeowners are looking at an increase of 2.9 cents to $1.294.
• Addison homeowners are looking at an increase of 13.1 cents to $1.423.
Addison Central School faced a series of unexpected challenges that created its deficit. Its roof needed patching, its driveway needed a culvert, and a series of minor building issues needed extra attention. Fuel to keep buses running also cost more than anticipated. The school also could not find a speech pathologist to hire, and the board had to contract those services, a more expensive option that added $29,000 to overall costs.
The ACS board has proposed raising spending by about 3.8 percent to roughly $1.82 million in the next fiscal year.
• The Ferrisburgh Central School board proposed a $2.76 million budget that calls for a 4.9 percent spending increase.
• The Vergennes Union Elementary School board has proposed increasing spending by 2.4 percent to $3.48 million.
• The Vergennes Union High School board has proposed a 5.4 percent spending hike to a little less than $8.5 million.
The two major reasons those increases are not translating into tax hikes are that the towns' property tax assessments are all reasonably up to date, and that the state adjusts its allowable per-pupil spending limit upward every year to account for inflation.
Corcoran said this year state officials bumped up that per-pupil spending number by 3.5 percent. Given inflationary pressures from sources like energy prices, health insurance and unfunded federal mandates, she said ANwSU boards' worked to control spending kept budgets closely in line with the state limitations.
Act 130, the school funding law that passed a year ago, has changed how tax rates are calculated. The major new wrinkle, double budget votes for schools that are spending in excess of the state per-pupil average, will not take effect until 2009.
But town and school reports do look different this spring. Previously, spending at all levels, from kindergarten through 12th grade, was divided by towns' total student count to create per-pupil spending averages.
As of this year, Act 130 requires that those calculations be made on a school-by-school basis, and then added together to create one rate. Corcoran said the goal was to allow residents to identify what impact individual schools were having on tax rates.
For example, in Addison, ACS — largely because of the deficit — is contributing 78.4 cents, and VUHS is contributing 63.9 cents, toward the overall projected rate of $1.423 per $100 of property value.

Ronaldo signs two years for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, set to earn €69.9 million annually
By Gabs
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly joined Al Nassr, confirming his long-rumoured move to Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr emerged as the favourite, and the transfer of the 37-year-old was formally announced on Friday.
According to reports, Ronaldo has agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract for £62 million (€69.9 million) annually.
"History in the making," Al Nassr tweeted.
"This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome @Cristiano to your new home @AlNassrFC."
Ronaldo's move is seen as effectively bringing down the curtain on one of the greatest careers in the history of elite European Football.


Released on December 7, 1929: The story of the rise of showgirl Gloria Hughes to become the center of a Ziegfeld Follies production, with appearances by Ziegfeld, Eddie Cantor, Rudy Vallee and more.
The Great Depression began on 29 October of 1929, but for a decade leading up to that day of disaster America was enjoying the Roaring Twenties. Alcohol was illegal, so of course there was plenty to be had in speakeasies and secret nightclubs. Life was fun, with bigger-than-life gangsters provided all of the booze, gambling and women that our growing country desired.
This movie is an amazing time-capsule of those final glorious days. If you thought that Las Vegas invented glamourous shows with dozens of pretty girls in amazing costumes dancing seductively on stage, you should know that New York theaters were producing extravaganza performaces in the 1920's. During the Roaring Twenties Florenz Ziegfeld produced shows on Broadway that included the best dancers, singers and comedians of the day.
She was 29 years old in 1929 when this movie was filmed. While Vaudeville and Broadway performers were tap dancing, smiling, swinging and singing happy songs of frivolity and good times, she sang dark, sad, blues songs with a sultry voice that made gangsters bawl like babies. She was so popular with the biggest gangsters of Chicago that they financed her in her own speakeasy nightclubs on her way to fame on Broadway and Vaudeville. Helen Morgan was performing in the Broadway performance of Show Boat, and her performance of 'What Wouldn't I Do for That Man' in this movie might be the only surviving full performance of a Helen Morgan song on film. The booze of her early days with the bootleggers stayed with her until her death caused by a liver destroyed by alcohol when she was forty-one years old.
By the time this movie opened in theaters around the country the Roaring Twenties were entering the first days of the poverty-filled Great Depression years, and this story stands as one last 'hurrah' for the fun-filled happy-go-lucky days. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter over it and enjoy the show.

INCORPORATING AGROFORESTRY INTO THE TRTC COURSES
TRTC has in recent decades focused its training around management and human development – with the trainees growing crops with which they are fully familiar and for which there is an established marketing system. The main crops grown by the trainees are yaqona and dalo. Dalo provides regular ongoing cash flow for the participants, while yaqona provides a substantial lump sum for investment purposes at the end of the young farmers' 3-year course. However, there are risks involved in regards to the sustainability of the two commodities.
In minimizing these risks TRTC has invested in the agro-forestry program for more sustainable agricultural practices and appropriate diversification. Agro-forestry is seen as an important part of sustainable agriculture diversification. Agroforestry offers course participants with the opportunity to earn significant long term income to meet future family and prudential needs. It offers a worthwhile income-generating stream for the training center itself. Teak and Sandalwood has been incorporated into TRTC's agro-forestry program.
The courses offered by TRTC are constantly adjusted to reflect the changing needs of Cakaudrove village communities. Declining soil fertility and declining crop yields have become an increasing serious problem. Tutu's experience depicts that declining taro yields are continuing to force the margin of taro production into higher elevation forest areas and are contributing to Tutu deforestation. Thus the promotion of more sustainable commercial agriculture practices has now become a central theme in TRTC courses. The effort is focused around using the green manure mucuna bean, composting, compost tea, and the replanting of nitrogen fixing trees on used land using alley cropping techniques.
ESTABLISHING VEGETABLE GROWING ENTERPRISES
The introduction of seedling nurseries and vegetable growing as an enterprise in Tutu courses has been a success since its inception. Success in vegetable growing as an enterprise depends on the farmers being able to produce off-season when it is excessively wet or dry. The focus of the program being introduced into the young farmers, single women, and farming couples program is to provide TRTC staff and course participants with the appropriate technology and expertise to be able to produce seasonal and off seasonal vegetables.
INTRODUCTION OF HIGH-QUALITY FRUIT TREES TO IMPROVE INCOME AND HOUSEHOLD NUTRITION
The agronomic conditions (soil, rainfall, and elevation) offer ideal conditions for growing a wide range of tropical fruit. The elevation of the TRTC ranges from sea level to over 400 meters higher elevation areas offer ideal agronomic subtropical fruits and vegetables. TRTC in 2011 embarked on a small pilot project to grow high-quality red-fleshed sunrise papaya. Since then Tutu has expanded its production of Fiji Red Papaya as well as the introduction of exotic fruits like rambutan, sweet carambola, dragon fruit, mangosteen, citrus and improved variety of avocado.
HYDRO DEVELOPMENT
2019 marked a wonderful milestone with the completion and full testing of the Hydro Solar Hydro System. A total of 38kw of solar power has been switched on with the final 10kw of DC connected solar panels at the Hydro building being configured to not only charge the backup batteries but also export excess charge to the Tutu community once the battery bank has been fully charged.
Over the past month, 18% or newly 1/5th of the Tutu community power has been supplied by the solar and battery system. This combined with the automatic spear valve modifications to the Hydro turbine is ensuring that while the village power demand has significantly increased over the past three years, the water consumption from the river intake is kept to an absolute minimum during the dry season. Nearly every day the Hydro has been reducing from the village nightly load demand peak of 25 to 30 KW down to its minimum output of 4KW during the midday peak of the solar systems. This enables the solar to provide 100% of the village power for nearly 4hrs each day when the clouds are not too constant
The automation and temperature measurement of the largest Yaqona drier has also been integrated into the Hydro PLC system, which enables the measurement of the humidity of warm air leaving the dryer. This will enable onsite testing to confirm when the dryer has achieved optimal dryness of the product so that the dryer will automatically stop when the Yaqona is finished drying, further saving on water use for the drying process. Repairs to the radio link between Naisavere and the top tank have enabled the continuous monitoring of the Top Tank water level to be reinstated, reducing the multiple daily inspections of the tank water level when the dry season starts.

QuikPrep SpinColumns for reverse phase chromatography are packed with a stationary non-polar phase. Available matrixes include: C4, C8, C18 and C18 Targa.
Reverse phase chromatography uses a column packed with a stationary non-polar phase, and a polar mobile phase is passed through the column. Molecules with similar polarities attract one another causing the most polar compounds to elute first as the non-polar compounds are held by the non-polar matrix These non-polar compounds can then be released through the addition of an elution buffer.

January 16, 2021 Cutting-Edge Intellectual Interviews
start the day smart
Martin Hogue
On his book Thirtyfour Campgrounds
Cover Interview of November 01, 2016
Thirtyfour Campgrounds examines the standardization and modernization of the contemporary campground as a familiar setting in the American landscape.
Campgrounds celebrate a unique form of American ingenuity in which intersecting narratives and desires (wilderness, individuality, access, speed, comfort, nostalgia, profit) find themselves strangely and powerfully hybridized. Thirtyfour Campgrounds traces the 150 year evolution of this unique landscape type. More broadly, however, the book poses important questions about the relationship between landscape and data: with a few clicks, taps or swipes, prospective campers now visit dozens of campgrounds and potentially hundreds of individual campsites in a single seating, comparing their advantages and disadvantages. How did we go from brave hikers setting up camp from scratch in the wilderness of the Adirondacks, to remotely browsing, shopping for, and reserving campsites in real time, often weeks or months in advance of arrival? How does the consumption of vast amounts of information through maps and websites shape our experience of campgrounds as landscapes? Are these landscapes themselves shaped by this information?
The book is a highly visual undertaking that features a combination of original drawings, archival materials and field documentation. The core of the book consists of a survey of color photographs of nearly 6,500 individual campsites retrieved from online reservation services like reserveamerica.com and recreation.gov. These photographs, arrayed into orderly girds and sequenced by zipcode and site number, span 200 pages. Taken together, these photos document 34 whole campgrounds of every stripe (federal, state, private) across the United States.
As a work of landscape and photography, Thirtyfour Campgrounds offers a nod to important artists who have expressed an interest for documenting similar generic settings: the title of the book is a direct reference to Ed Ruscha's classic 1967 Thirtyfour Parking Lots (down to the idiosyncratic spelling of its title), which features aerial views of empty parking lots of all shapes and sizes in the Los Angeles area. The neutral, systematic arrangement of the thousands of campsite images in the book into grid form owes to German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher's typological studies of blast furnaces, cooling towers, grain elevators and other industrial structures, and whose work are staples of contemporary art collections.
More methodical in its approach than conventional campground literature, Thirtyfour Campgrounds calls the very nature of research, the survey and the inventory, into question.

[T]he Holocaust transformed our whole way of thinking about war and heroism. War is no longer a proving ground for heroism in the same way it used to be. Instead, war now is something that we must avoid at all costs—because genocides often take place under the cover of war. We are no longer all potential soldiers (though we are that too), but we are all potential victims of the traumas war creates. This, at least, is one important development in the way Western populations envision war, even if it does not always predominate in the thinking of our political leaders.
Carolyn J. Dean,
Interview of February 01, 2011
The dominant premise in evolution and economics is that a person is being loyal to natural law if he or she attends to self's interest and welfare before being concerned with the needs and demands of family or community. The public does not realize that this statement is not an established scientific principle but an ethical preference. Nonetheless, this belief has created a moral confusion among North Americans and Europeans because the evolution of our species was accompanied by the disposition to worry about kin and the collectives to which one belongs.

Door County Advocate
A packed town hall in Jacksonport greeted the five candidates for Door County sheriff at the forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Door County Wednesday evening. All four Republicans who will square off in the Aug. 12 primary were there, as well as their Democratic opponent who is running unopposed. All five are currently working with the Door County Sheriff's Department.
The contenders were civil, even jovial at times, and Door County Sheriff Terry Vogel, who watched from the rear, said afterward he was proud of how well all officers conducted themselves during the forum. Vogel, a Republican, has not yet made any endorsement, but said he would not rule it out.
Taking turns responding to questions were: Patrol Sgt. Steve Delarwelle, Sturgeon Bay; Field Services Lt. Jeff Farley, Sturgeon Bay; Juvenile Investigator Chris Neuville, Sturgeon Bay; Jail Lt. Tammy Sternard, who lives in southern Door County and is running as a Democrat; and Road Deputy Carl R. Waterstreet, Brussels. Waterstreet also has a son named Carl who is a patrol sergeant with the Sturgeon Bay Police Department.
• Asked about their specific training, all candidates have several years experience working with the department and all acknowledged Farley outranked them as third in command. Farley touted his 32 years with the force and certifications and said he would be hard-pressed to come up with a school he has not attended.
Both Waterstreet and Delarwelle are older than Farley, and Waterstreet said he also has 15 years working with the fire department.
Delarwelle said he is additionally trained as a SWAT team sniper and is proud of the team he developed; he is also in charge of all-night staff as sergeant on the midnight shift.
Neuville said he has shown leadership as an investigator working with juveniles, and Sternard said her more than 21 years with the force has trained her to take charge.
• All said the department needed to hold costs down to balance a tight departmental budget of more than $8 million. More grant writing and interdepartmental cooperation for equipment and training were suggested by several candidates. All said the department is currently very well run and when asked what improvements any would make, no sweeping changes were proposed.
• Asked how to ensure deputies are trained in mental health issues, all said they are already trained but some suggested additional knowledge could be gleaned for free from the Door County Department of Human Services. Farley said 10-15 percent of the department calls are mental health related. He would like to see all deputies receive additional training with a 40-hour crisis intervention program (CIP). Sternard agreed and said it should be mandatory before cutting an officer loose; she said dispatchers should also get CIP training.
• A question on electronic monitoring of prisoners and work release drew consensus from all five who said the cost of letting a prisoner out on an ankle bracelet does not reduce costs and puts the community at greater risk. They agreed with Vogel's current practice to abide by a judge's sentence. Neuville said he would consider it on a case-by-case basis if there was some rehabilitative reason for it but would not do so for a violent offender. Farley said the jail has a 148-bed capacity and there are now between 70-80 beds used so there is no overcrowding issue and the staff and facility costs are fixed.
• Questions about drugs, alcohol and vandalism also drew similar responses. All said heroin is a serious problem for Door County and the department needs to do more to educate the public.
Farley said last year a packet was handed out to town clerks for better monitoring at festivals but said the alcohol and other drug problem needs to be addressed with the help of the community.
Neuville said 90 percent of addicts who go for treatment relapse so the best course is to "catch it before it starts." He emphasized more drug and alcohol education, particularly through high school grades.
Sternard said more than 50 percent of inmates screened have a history of alcohol and/or drug abuse. She suggested adding full-time officers dedicated to every school in Door County.
Waterstreet said he would bring a K-9 dog back into Door County that should be used for drugs and search and rescue. He said this could be done at no cost through grants, donations and fundraisers and would make the dog available to the schools.
Delarwelle said drug investigators need to be in high schools and D.A.R.E. in fifth grade is not adequate. Presentations need to be for both students and parents and more education and cooperation with other state and federal departments is needed, he said.
• In response to a question on growing incidents of vandalism, all said the problem is not increasing but with more camera surveillance more suspects are actually being caught and prosecuted for criminal damage to property.
Waterstreet suggested bringing back the Neighborhood Watch program to Door County. Delarwelle said the community needs to be encouraged to call the department for any suspicious behavior or request for extra patrol.
• Asked how to deal with increasing traffic during summer months, Sternard said she would review accident statistics to determine how and when to improve traffic patrols. Waterstreet said more reserve officers could be trained and would not add a huge expense.
Delarwelle said the department should make better use of constables in Gibraltar and Baileys Harbor who are currently underutilized. Farley said it is a balancing act with more big events happening in the county and greater demands on staff. The use of speed boards helps pinpoint where and when violations occur to make the most effective use of officers. Future roundabouts will also will change traffic patterns, and he admitted the concept "kinda scared" him.
Neuville, who answered next, capitalized on that statement, smiling and saying, "Well, I'm younger than you are, and I think roundabouts are easier to use."
After a good laugh, Neuville suggested officers drive and park their squad cars on the side of a busy road with a fake deputy inside to help deter speeding but still be readily available near officer's homes rather than being parked in a deputy's private driveway.
The forum wrapped up with each giving a five-minute pitch of their qualifications. Town of Sevastopol voter Mary Ellen Smith said she arrived leaning towards one candidate and the presentation solidified her vote.
"They are all dedicated people working in a difficult profession," Smith said. "I didn't change my mind, but a couple did much better than I expected. I thought they all did very well."
The forum, recorded on video by Laddie Chapman, can be seen by Charter cable subscribers on Channel 986 or online by non-subscribers at www.youtube.com/user/shermanbay. The Door County Advocate will publish survey responses from the Republican primary candidates on Wednesday.

Bruins Prospects
Boston Bruins' 2020 WJC Preview
By Cam Hasbrouck December 24th, 2019
The end of December brings great things. The holiday season, the promise of a new year, and for hockey fans, two of the most exciting weeks of the year: the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) U-20 World Junior Championship.
The all-teenager tournament has become a holiday season staple for hockey fans eager to get a taste of the next wave of talent making its way toward the NHL. (Want to feel old? This year's tournament is the first to feature players born exclusively after 2000.)
Three Bruins prospects will be featured in this year's tournament – John Beecher and Curtis Hall of Team USA, and Jakub Lauko of the host-nation, the Czech Republic. Here's a look at what each player brings to the table.
John Beecher, Forward, United States
Beecher is the youngest Bruins prospect participating in this year's tournament. He's also the highest draft pick featured for Boston after being selected 30th overall by the Bruins in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
The Elmira, New York native is off to an impressive start to his freshman season at the University of Michigan. He leads the Wolverines with five goals in 16 games and has added four assists for a total of nine points, despite missing a pair of games due to injury.

Beecher and his and fellow American/Bruins prospect Hall are both forwards with considerable size. In fact, the two are the tallest forwards on the American roster. Both stand at 6-foot-3, with Beecher (209 pounds) outweighing Hall (196 pounds).
Beecher, who can play on the wing and at center, tallied one assist in Team USA's 6-4 pre-tournament win over Sweden. He's a smart player who makes good use of his size on both ends of the ice. And while he isn't the flashiest player out there, he combines his hockey-IQ with his size for dependable two-way play. Additionally, Bruins fans who miss the "Big Bad Bruins" style of hockey will likely enjoy the physicality in his game.
Beecher has previously represented the United States twice on the international stage. He earned a Bronze Medal with Team USA at the 2019 U-18 Championship, as well as first place with the US at the 2017 U-17 World Hockey Challenge.
While he still needs quite a bit of development before he'll be in Black and Gold, the upcoming tournament should be a good test for the Bruins' most recent first-round pick.
Curtis Hall, Forward, United States
Hall, a sophomore at Yale University, was drafted by the Bruins with the 119th overall pick (fourth round) of the 2018 draft. His father, Mike Hall, actually had a brief history with the Bruins organization – he played six years of professional hockey that included a short stint with Boston's AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, during the 2000-01 season.
Boston's fourth-rounder recorded 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 24 games during his freshman season, but has already surpassed last season's goal total. He leads Yale with six goals in the Bulldogs' first nine games this season, with one assist as gravy on top. Like Beecher, Hall has also missed a couple of games this season because of injury.
Hall did get on the scoresheet in the United States' first pre-tournament game against Sweden, burying a wrist shot from the high slot to begin a comeback victory against the Swedes. He also potted one goal in five games for Team USA at this year's Summer Showcase.

— USA Hockey (@usahockey) December 22, 2019
The United States will look to reach the podium for the fifth tournament in a row, coming off of a silver medal performance at last year's tournament.
Jakub Lauko, Forward, Czech Republic
Lauko, who's in the midst of his first season with the P-Bruins, was a question mark to participate in this year's tournament after suffering a scary injury a few weeks ago that resulted in him being stretchered off the ice. Fortunately, the 77th-overall pick from 2018 has recovered from the incident and was cleared to play – which is especially sweet considering the tournament is being held in his home country.
The 6-foot, 170-pound forward was one of the Bruins' more anticipated prospects heading into this season after an impressive preseason performance with Boston. As a teenager, the Bruins could've assigned Lauko back to Rouyn-Noranda of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (where he helped lead the Huskies to a Memorial Cup Championship last season), but opted to keep him in Providence to continue his development.

The injury has limited Lauko to just 18 games, during which he's tallied four goals and four assists with Boston's AHL affiliate. But having recently returned from injury, the tournament back at home offers Lauko an opportunity to find his game once again before returning to the P-Bruins.
His biggest asset is his lightning-quick speed, which he showed off with a nasty goal against the Flyers during the preseason.
The Speed.@jakub_lauko | #NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/0KuBYccQvi
— Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) September 24, 2019
In addition to his speed, Lauko offers promising talent in the offensive zone and has demonstrated a knack for finding the back of the net. He can play at the center position but generally lines up on the wing.
This year's tournament marks the 19-year-old's third appearance at the U-20 World Junior Championship. He's tallied three points in 11 games over the past two U-20 Championships, although he's totaled 11 points in 24 career games with the Czech Republic U-20 squad across all competitions. He'll be one of the most-watched players for the Czechs this time around given his experience and ability.
The tournament kicks off on Boxing Day, Dec. 26, with Lauko and the Czech Republic taking on Russia in Group B's opening game. Beecher, Hall, and the United States will open the tournament against rival-Canada the same day. All three Bruins prospects will also be on display together on December 30, when the United States and the Czech Republic square off.

Q: GA4 Measurement Protocol Tag sends events to an unexpected endpoint We use GA4 Measurement Protocol for sending events to GTM Server-Side which than passes them along to GA4. However, I noticed an unexpected behavior.
GTMS Client receives an event in the following format:
{
   "client_id":"ND+VxzSadb1BmLKxlzHZiLidLj6X6kyM2mTNewDRSIc=.1675251033",
   "user_id":"8229012",
   "non_personalized_ads":false,
   "events":[
      {
         "name":"registration submission",
         "params":{
            "method":"sendpulse.com",
            "service":"emailservice",
            "x-fb-ck-fbp":"fb.1.1675251033570.550668735",
            "x-fb-ck-fbc":"",
            "user_agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
            "session_id":"1675336459",
            "user_data":{
               "email_address":"2bb61ab0fa7f4937e5598a552bee3cc5280da453e609c594845f82085c416b31",
               "phone_number":"1a6c0f1e473e472ef49dfa407fd915748a3d6e4c80481814c3dd0d088698bfcb"
            }
         }
      }
   ]
}

But GA4 tag passes the event along to an unexpected endpoint:
https://www.google-analytics.com/g/collect?cid=ZjceIJMKEZPkhLBLd1%2BzF0ekLIINdDre%2FJO1UF0RvMM%3D.1675344158&tid=G-46NQ594GKJ&v=2&gtm=45091e31v1&uid=8229115&ep.method=social_facebook&ep.service=emailservice&ep.session_id=1675344160&en=registration%20submission

One would expect the endpoint to be www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect (The endpoint for measurement protocol events) and the request body to be the same JSON that was sent to GTMS, but somehow it's not the case. I suspect this behavior causes session_id to be incorrectly interpreted on the GA4 end and probably causes a bunch of other problems. Is this a normal behavior?

We were hit with a snow storm during the stay but their maintenance guy was so sweet. He was outside scraping ice and removing snow from customers cars! No complaints except we could find employees during breakfast...I needed a cup for the waffle maker. It was a nice clean hotel, but does need updating/upgrades. Overall it's was a good stay!
Booked hotel for daughters graduation -$177 for one night , only to discover pool was out of order !!! Very disappointed . Had planned to meet family and enjoy - but had to change plans ! Reception did not offer discount .
I have stayed in a few different hotels in that city and this one was by far the nicest and cleanest of any of them.
Definitely great hotel to stay at for Business travel. I highly recommend The Green Mill Restaurant across the street for Dinner.

Election Reform: Now and Twenty Years Ago, A Personal Story
Republican-controlled legislatures across the nation are planning to enact legislation that would have the effect of suppressing the vote. Georgia passed a law to restrict access to voting, known by its critics as the Jim Crow law. More states in Republican hands will do the same. Republicans in the Senate are likely to block a bill passed by the House to protect voting rights.
Why are Republicans afraid of a large turnout? Twenty years ago, Republican leaders insisted that every qualified voter should vote and that every vote should be counted.
In the aftermath of the highly disputed Presidential election of 2000, which was decided by 537 votes in the state of Florida, many of our most prominent political leaders recognized the need for reform of the voting system.
A prestigious commission was created called the National Commission of Federal Election Reform. The co-chairs of the commission were former President Jimmy Carter and former President Gerald Ford. Its composition was bipartisan. I had the honor of serving on the commission.
The commission held several meetings, debated the issues of voter I.D., got a report of the reliability of different voting machines (strangely enough, the most reliable machine was the one used in New York City, which involved pulling a lever to close a curtain, then opening the lever, which punctured the ballot–but that machine was considered obsolete as compared to the new electronic touch-screen machines).
Moving at warp speed, the commission produced a report in August 2001. The heart of its recommendations was that every eligible citizen should be assured the right to vote, and every vote should be counted.
This recommendation, on page 6, was at the heart of our discussions:
The methods for funding and administering elections—from investments in equipment through voter education to procedures at the polling place—should seek to ensure that every qualified citizen has an equal opportunity to vote and that every individual's vote is equally effective. No individual, group, or community should be left with a justified belief that the electoral process works less well for some than for others.
I have been reflecting on the work of the commission because there were no partisan differences. Republicans did not claim that mail-in balloting was wrong. They did not look for ways to tweak the state systems to suppress the votes of African-Americans. They agreed with their Democratic peers that everyone of voting age should exercise the right to vote and their vote should be counted.
Everyone understood that the voting process needed to be modernized and that there should be both fairness and a perception of fairness.
Now we live in a time when it is hard to imagine Democrats and Republicans collaborating on a report about election integrity without descending into acrimony.
Something very fundamental has been lost in our civic life: a sense of shared purpose; a commitment to fairness and integrity; trust. The well of democracy has been poisoned by spurious claims of fraud that have no evidence to support them.
Some have foolishly blamed the schools (as usual) for not teaching civics. So, we are now to believe that grown men (and some women) run about threatening people they disagree with by brandishing Glocks and AR-15s. We have to look deep into our culture to try to determine the wellsprings of this rage and bitterness and hatred. It didn't start in the schools.

Q: Methods to send data to internet? I'm an electronics guy, I've previously sent data from a hardware device running python under Linux(raspberry pi) to my shared hosting server using the 'get' method which wrote the data on a csv file on the server. This was the first method I found and it worked and the data traffic was also very low(server got the get/post request roughly every 2-3 minutes).

Two php files were on the server, one was appending the data to the csv file and other was displaying the data of csv file.
What are other methods to store/push the data like sensor values on to a database with timestamps, I've heard about socket programming but never used it. For this new application 2-3 data string will be generated every second for about one hour then there will be no requests for 4-5 hours. I just have to push the data to server and the website devs can take care of displaying and processing.

I'm good at python programming.

What are other methods to send data to internet using python?
If you want more information please let me know in the comments

A: HTTP at the moment is a protocol widely used to send data over the internet cause usually firewall allow incoming & outgoing traffic on port 80 (http) and 443 (https). This means that you will have no problems sending data over the net on these ports.
In your case the amount of data send over the wire is not huge so you could just serialize data using JSON, XML or Protobuf and send them using HTTP/HTTPS. On the other side the php application would handle authentication, authorisation and data persistence on the disk (file, database, queue, etc)
If you're interested to go further with telemetry you could take a look at MQTT.

MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol. It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is useful for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium.

MQTT could be a better solution than data over HTTP. Please read here to see the difference between the 2 approaches


Alice Etsuko Eto Sumida, 104, wife of the late Mark Masuo Sumida of Portland, Oregon passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 16, in Beaverton, Oregon.
Born near San Luis Obispo on California's Central Coast on July 18, 1914, Alice was the third of Tameji and Take Eto's eight children. An Oregon resident for nearly eighty years, Alice was a woman of great character, intelligence, and generosity. She made lasting friendships throughout her long life, and her active support of more than fourteen community service organizations reflected her many interests and core values.
An alumna of Mills College in Oakland, California, Alice promoted education and worked tirelessly to expand cross-cultural understanding. She supported the arts, respect for all faiths, and the preservation of ethnic traditions. She was recognized many times for her efforts and honored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
Alice's life and many achievements were captured in print in Music for Alice by Allen Say, a Caldecott Medal winner; If I Live to Be 100: Lessons from the Centenarians by Paul Mobley and Allison Milionis; and Bend with the Wind: the Life, Family, and Writings of Grace Eto Shibata by Naomi Shibata.
Alice is survived by sisters Susy Sumuko Eto Bauman of San Luis Obispo, California, Nancy Eto Mihara of Sunnyvale, California, and Grace Eto Shibata of Atherton, California; as well as nieces and nephews Samuel Nakamura, Ronald (Jean) Kikuchi, Gerald (Margie) Kikuchi, Lauren (Jim) Eto, Lois (Kenichi) Hanaki, Alan (Janis) Eto, Marilyn Eto Fleisher, Linda (Gene) Moriguchi, Nathan (Suzanne) Mihara, Ted (Susan) Mihara, Naomi Shibata, Robert (Nancy) Shibata, Michael (Yuko) Shibata, Paul (June) Sumida, Ben Sumida, and Ellen (Robert) Sasamoto.
A private interment service will be followed by services on Saturday, September 8 at 1:00 pm at the Oregon Buddhist Temple, 3720 SE 34th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. A second memorial service will take place on Saturday, October 6 at 11:00 am at the San Luis Obispo Buddhist Temple, 6996 Ontario Road, San Luis Obispo, California 93405.


Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used as insulation for many years. Unfortunately, people did not realise that it was actually harmful to humans, causing diseases such as mesothelioma. Now, asbestos is being removed from homes all over the world due to its unbelievably hazardous nature. If you have asbestos in your home, or you think that you might, make sure to keep reading. You'll soon find out everything that you need to know about having this dangerous mineral taken safely out of your home, and far away from your family, as soon as possible.
The most important thing to remember if you find asbestos inside of your home is to not touch it at all. Asbestos becomes harmful when it produces fibrous dust from it being disturbed. Sometimes, as long as the asbestos hasn't been damaged in any way, and it isn't deteriorating from age, some companies will recommend leaving the asbestos right where it is. If there's no exposure to the asbestos, meaning it's sealed or there is paint covering it, then you should just leave it alone if you can, but make sure that you continuously check on it.
What Do You Do If it Needs to Be Removed?
If you're going to remove the asbestos yourself make sure to wear disposable protective equipment at all times. Once it's removed, place it in multiple plastic bags that are labelled "asbestos" in large letters. After this is done, you'll want to dispose of the asbestos in an appropriate waste treatment centre. Information about where you're able to dispose of asbestos in your area can be found online, or contact an asbestos removal service to seek advice.
Asbestos is nothing to play around with. If you have it in your home, contact professionals immediately to assess the situation, or you can risk becoming extremely ill later down the line. If it can stay where it is, make sure that you constantly check on it to make sure that it is still safe. If it needs to be removed, you should probably hire professionals to get the job done as safely as possible.

Lord Edward Somerset jailed for beating wife Caroline
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-26067015
Image caption The court heard Lord Edward Somerset was addicted to drink and drugs
A drink and drug-addicted aristocrat who beat his wife several times over a 22-year period has been jailed.
Lord Edward Somerset, 55, punched, kicked and scratched his wife Caroline during arguments between 1990 and 2012, Bristol Crown Court was told.
He admitted four counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm during a previous court appearance in December.
Judge Mark Horton jailed him for two years and granted his wife a restraining order against him.
The court heard Somerset, who has no previous convictions, had become "enraged" and had assaulted his wife when confronted by her over his addiction to drink and drugs, including heroin and cocaine.
'Two tragedies'
In October 2012, his wife required hospital treatment following an argument with her husband after he took crack cocaine in front of their youngest daughter.
He kicked and punched her and she was taken to Frenchay Hospital, near Bristol, with a bruised eye, nose and ribs. Doctors subsequently reported her injuries to police.
Somerset was interviewed by police and told them: "I shouldn't do it, I know. That is what worries me, I think I could go further one day. It was all so undignified."
The judge said: "This is a case of two tragedies. A tragedy of a man born to privilege and almost limitless opportunities whose life has been marred and destroyed by an addiction to alcohol and drugs and an uncontrollable temper.
"The tragedy with which the court is concerned is the tragedy caused to your wife by you over a period of 22 years by your repeated and deliberate violence.
"You abused your position of power over your wife, not only physically but more importantly by psychological and emotional damage caused by that physical control."
'New girlfriend'
The court heard Somerset's wife had entered rehabilitation three years ago following alcohol abuse and returned to their home on the Badminton Estate at weekends to see her husband, who is the son of the Duke of Beaufort.
But in late 2011, her husband began a relationship with another woman.
Eleanor Laws QC, prosecuting, told the court "an argument flared about the new girlfriend". Somerset kicked his wife "incredibly hard" and she thought she had broken her foot.
In a victim impact statement, Lady Somerset, who had initially not co-operated with the police, said: "I don't know why Edward assaulted me and though he apologised, he never explained.
"I lost my confidence, my self-esteem and believed everything was my fault. I would state I have suffered enormous emotional and psychological damage."
Rob Allen, senior crown prosecutor for CPS South West, said: "This case is a reminder that domestic violence permeates all sections of our society."
The court was told divorce proceedings between the couple, who have two children, were set to be finalised soon.
