In 1847 James Coutts took out an annual licence to run sheep. At 10/- per annum rent and comprising 104 square miles, his run roughly corresponded to the she-oak and ti-tree country of what was to become Para Wurlie. The section became known as "Coutts Run" and was the beginning of recorded settlement in the area. Leases followed at Cape Spencer, Corny Point and White Hut. The carrying capacity of 42 square miles was given as 4,000 sheep in summer, but it was said to be necessary to move the sheep in winter, as they were susceptible to 'coast disease'.
The Gilbert brothers of Pewsey Vale in the Barossa hills took over Coutt's Run in 1857. The head station was at Tuckokcowie southeast of Warooka, with out-stations including Orrie Cowie, the latter of which Joseph Gilbert acquired freehold in 1870.
The early sheep men on Yorke Peninsula soon discovered that sheep did not do well in some areas. It seemed the only remedy for the wasting 'coast disease' condition was a change of pasture, and so for years much of the mallee country of the foot of Yorke Peninsula was not used to its full extent.
The break-through in treatment of coast disease did not come until the early 1920s, when it was realised that a shortage of trace elements was the problem. Eventually it was discovered that two missing elements on Southern Yorke Peninsula were copper and cobalt. Copper could be supplied by adding it to superphosphate. Cobalt was another matter.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s it was found by C.S.I.R.O. that a cobalt "bullet" could be inserted into the sheep's stomach, and would be retained by the sheep. This was done with the aid of a specially designed "bulleting gun". However even this did not work as well initially, discovering that gastric juices in the stomach prevented the cobalt from being absorbed. There was a simple answer – just add a grinder (an ordinary grub-screw) – and the sheep could carry its own inbuilt supply of cobalt for life.
Two well-known Merino Sheep Studs in operation today are Orrie Cowie and North Cowie, both situated west of Warooka on the old Corny Point road.
Orrie Cowie Station divided in 1922 and it was at this time TA Murdoch bought the homestead block. Among the breeds of rams that were available at the time of the sale were Lincoln, Stropshire, Southdown, Leicester and Merino.
The Orrie Cowie bloodline had its beginnings in 1937 when TA Murdoch started his flock. Son Vic Murdoch continued, registering his merino stud in 1965 and poll merino in 1968.
North Cowie began in 1978 as a result of the amicable dividing of the Murdoch family. Vic Murdoch retained the 'Orrie Cowie' name while KG Murdoch & Sons formed 'North Cowie', initially continuing to breed rams for the parent stud, and then in 1987 commenced selling their own rams.
North Cowie continues to run its studs on the farm where the original Orrie Cowie homestead remains.
Both Orrie Cowie and North Cowie currently still remain in their respective Murdoch families.

For our Korean Wine & Dine event, my friend Linda prepared this dish. When she told me she would be preparing octopus, I immediately thought of her working with a large octopus that would require a long cooking time. I was so wrong... and Linda used baby octopus for this dish. The result was a super tender octopus and I'm anxious to try making this myself soon!
Wash and rinse octopus, cut the legs into 2"-3" lengths, open head and take out inside, quarter the head. Drain well.
Combine final sauce with octopus and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat pan on a medium high heat, cook for 8-10 minutes or until done.
Very nice collection of Korean recipes, something I dabble with every now and then. Great series!

Australia: Nick Scali's managing director, Anthony Scali, managed to put to rest speculation that the company was about to buy rival furniture retailer Steinhoff Asia Pacific.
Mr Scali is understood to have told investors there were plans ramping up to embark on a dual-track sales process for the company that owns businesses such as Freedom Furniture, Fantastic Furniture, Snooze and Harris Scarfe, but the process had paused.
The understanding is the company's parent, Steinhoff International, had recently bought itself more time with lenders, so was not a forced seller of the business and would take its time divesting assets. When it does finally get placed on the block, an opportunity for a buyer could be a roll-up in the Australian sector. This is given that Quadrant Private Equity's AMart Furniture is known to be for sale should a buyer show interest.
However, making money in the space is not thought to be an easy feat, with the owners of smaller furniture outfit John Cootes recently announcing they would close its stores across NSW and the ACT.
Nick Scali said at the results yesterday the liquidation sale of John Cootes would not have an impact on the company's business given it operated in a different market.
On the back of the results, it appears Nick Scali is in a strong position to buy Steinhoff. It said that despite the weaker market conditions, it remained on track for a strong start to the first quarter of financial 2019, with positive order growth in June, July and August.
Overall, the company said Queensland and Western Australia had been the weakest markets.
The company positioned itself to buy Steinhoff Asia Pacific earlier this year when Anthony Scali offloaded half of his 27 per cent stake in the business to Shanghai furniture company Kuka. Nick Scali Furniture's market value is AUD486 million so it would need the assistance of its Chinese partners to buy Steinhoff Asia Pacific, which some say could be worth close to AUD1 billion.

WeHo Neighbors Get Chummy for National Night Out Celebration
Photos and Text by Paulo Murillo
West Hollywood residents stepped out of their homes and got chummy with their neighbors in celebration of this year's National Night Out. It was an evening of gathering with familiar faces and meeting some new ones at several outdoor locations throughout West Hollywood to show unity against crime in West Hollywood.
National Night Out offered free block parties, barbecues, live entertainment, a movie screening and dancing. There were nine separate events throughout the City. A diverse crowd came out to enjoy food trucks, a chance to win raffle prizes, and children were allowed to play a game of bingo with much older folks. Some residents even brought their dogs out to play and sniff around for scraps.
Six Neighborhood Watch Groups coordinated with The West Hollywood Gateway, the Russian Advisory Board, the West Hollywood Recreation Services Division, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, and City officials to host an evening of fun. An estimated 2,000 WeHo residents were expected to attend.
"I love any time a community can come together," said nightclub hostess, actress and WEHO TIMES contributor Ingenue. "Sometimes we drive our cars behind a gate, we go into our apartments, and we don't really communicate with each other. So it's fun to get out, have some fun, enjoy some food, win some prizes and have camaraderie. That's important because it makes you feel safer and you get to take ownership of your neighborhood."
Ingenue says she lost her WeHo block party virginity that evening. It was her first National Night Out. She lives, works and plays in West Hollywood and was asked to host the bingo portion of the block party at the North Kings Road location. Her look for the evening was a red satin dress with a red flower embellishment. She doesn't know where the dress came from, but the flower was made especially for her by Ever Designs.
Big Bang Television performs at National Night Out in West Hollywood
The evening at the N. Kings Road block party ended with a special performance by the band Big Bang Television. The band consists of Starr + Erik + Mike. To learn more and to get a taste of their sound, visit: bigbangtelevision.com Or like them on Facebook at: facebook.com/bigbangtelevision/
Other National Night Out events this year included a free family-friendly movie night featuring Finding Dory at Plummer park It was hosted by the City of West Hollywood's Recreation Services Division. Community members are invited to bring a blanket or a lawn chair and enjoy a movie under the stars.
National Night Out began in 1984 as an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, law enforcement and community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and to send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized against crime. Nationwide, more than 35 million people in neighborhoods across the country gather outdoors to celebrate their unity and their successes in the fight against crime. Celebrating National Night Out has been a tradition in West Hollywood since the City's inception.

The obelisk is a monolithic monument which has its origins in ancient Egypt. Together with the pyramids, it is one of the greatest expressions of Egyptian monumental art. It is characterized by the elongated and thin quadrangular shape, ending with a pyramidal tip.
The Egyptians believed that the Sun god resided in them and the Pharaohs used to place them in pairs at the entrance of the temples and in specific points of the cities in order to favor their fecundity and the circle of benevolent energies. Symbol of the link between the Pharaoh and the divinity, the obelisk stands out to represent absolute power.
In various cultures and traditions, it was believed that the obelisks, placed at the nodal points of the city, contributed to the sublimation of the energies of the place and brought well -being and fertility to the whole region. The city of Rome has as many as 9 original Egyptian obelisks, which were stolen during the conquest of Egypt.
Obelisks have always been enigmatic monuments, and throughout history they are often found as occult, Masonic and esoteric symbols. The evidence of the phallic form also underlines the power of the masculine energies, bearers of fecundating force in their encounter with the Earth, with the receptive feminine energies.
The obelisk is now used in homes, in small reproductions, as a symbol of fertility and good wishes.
Marble , loved by the most famous sculptors and architects from all over the world and of all eras, is affirming its artistic power also in the modern conception of architecture and interior design. The classic and timeless taste of Michelangelo's favorite material adapts to the most varied contexts, from the new liberty and Baroque style, to clean and essential lines, up to industrial-inspired settings.
Verde Alpi marble is considered a material of great aesthetic value, refined and elegant.
Its area of origin is the Aosta Valley, precisely the area of the western Alps: this rock takes its name from here, and from its own peculiar color.
This marble has a compact and uniform structure and a remarkable chromatic variety. The basic shade is dark green, embellished with veins tending to white or yellow, which stand out against the green background and accentuate its ornamental power.
The red Levanto marble is a variety of Italian marble with a purplish red color, the bottom of this stone is characterized by a predominantly reddish pigmentation, on which a suggestive and dense interweaving of glossy white veins stands out.
This variety of red marble is extracted in Liguria, mainly in the municipality of Levanto, from which it takes its name.

Kartik Aaryan opens up about his crazy fan experience; reveals the things he is obsessed with in real life – Times of India
Kartik Aaryan, who will be essaying the role of an obsessive killer in his upcoming film, 'Freddy', recently opened up about his scary fan experience and things he is obsessed with in real life.
Recalling a crazy fan incident, Kartik shared with a news portal that a girl once framed a photograph that had her and him as a married couple. She brought it and stood beneath his house with it, claiming they were both married. The actor went on to say that he found out about it much later and thought it was a little creepy.
When asked if there is something he is obsessed with in his life, Kartik added that he is just obsessed with his films, his work, and Katori (his pet pooch).
Talking about playing a menacing killer in 'Freddy', Kartik admitted that he was initially quite apprehensive. However, he clarified that he wasn't concerned about how the audience would react to my role. According to him, they are very smart. They had released a mini clip from the film that was about 45 seconds to one minute long, but the audience picked up little things from it and really enjoyed them. Kartik added that he was glad that they took notice of those things because he also looks at films like an audience. The actor too like being shocked and thrilled, he told News 18.
'Freddy' also stars Alaya F in a lead role. The film is slated to release on an OTT platform on December 2.

I specialize in the management of beautiful and high-end vacation rental properties in the Hudson Valley and Lake Placid areas of New York state. If you are looking to rent a vacation property for a weekend, week, or month and want something different and unique, you will love the properties in my portfolio. And feel free to connect with me on Linked-in or through this website.
Ten years ago, I bought my first condo in Lake Placid as an investment and as a place to enjoy a bit when it was not rented. What began as a small rental income business has grown and become the second career I always wanted: my own property management business where I get to meet and work with interesting and wonderful people. That is why I love what I do. Not only do I find my new business fun and exciting but I'm very good at it too!
My work experience has prepared me perfectly for what I'm doing today. My business background is extensive and diverse. For 33 years, I worked at IBM helping to build, test and design mainframe computers, as a MFG Engineer, MFG Test Manager, Materials Management Professional and finally, as a Diversity & Workforce HR Partner. It was at IBM that I developed my analytical skills and honed my interpersonal skills, too. I literally worked with thousands of great people and had a very rewarding and successful career. After my retirement, I worked as a sales consultant for a Honda dealership and sold 325 cars in 3 years. I liked connecting with people and helping them make this kind of important buying decision. But for the entire time I was working there, I was mentally preparing to be my own boss, build my own business and, most importantly, do something that really excited me and was fun! With all my previous experience, it was a natural transition into my second career as the owner of my exciting new business called Rudy's 1 Of A Kind Vacation Rentals.
After buying my first condo in Lake Placid, NY and successfully increasing the rental income by almost 100% in the first year, I started thinking I could do the same for other property owners. So I earned my New York real estate license (and now my New York real estate brokers license) and formed my own S-Corporation! One by one, I increased my business and it now includes a highly regarded heart surgeon, a former Miss Universe (well, 2nd runner up), a winery owner, a 5th generation Adirondack family, an engineer from Buffalo, a family of lawyers from Texas and on and on. We have had some amazing guests as well with several very famous actors and a very famous British band stay with us, among other very interesting people. My annual rental revenues are in the $500-600,000 range and that is about all I can handle right now. My new and exciting second career is off and running and very challenging, fun, exciting and highly fulfilling!
Well, that was a few years ago, and I still find my new business fun, exciting and fulfilling. I now have a total of 13 great rental properties, including my own, with 2 in the Hudson Valley and another 11 in Lake Placid. Plus I have started consulting a bit as well. I am living my dream and enjoying my new life. If I can help you with your dream of owning a successful vacation rental property, managing it or consulting on it, please let me know as I'd love to work with you together on it!

Q: Python: numpy.genfromtxt - Need column names that contain invalid characters I am working on importing CSV files with numpy.genfromtxt.
The data to be imported has a header of column names, and some of those column names contain characters that genfromtxt considers invalid. Specifically, some of the names contain "#" and " ". The input data cannot be changed as it is generated by other sources that I do not control.
Using names=True and comments=None, I am unable to bring in all of the column names that I need.
I've tried overriding numpy.lib.NameValidator.deletechars=None, but this does not affect the NameValidator class instance that is actually in use.
I understand that deletechars exists due to the recarray potential to access a field as if it were an attribute. However, I simply must be able to read in column names that include invalid characters, even if the characters are stripped off when read in.
Is there a way to force the NameValidator to not check for invalid characters, or to modify the characters it checks for? I am unable to modify numpy/lib/_iotools.py as I am not root and it would be bad to modify a shared installation.

A: You do not explicitly state that numpy.genfromtxt is a hard requirement, so let me suggest that you try asciitable.
This module has a way to replace certain entries before parsing: http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/asciitable/#replace-bad-or-missing-values
And you can also define your own readers based on the existing ones: http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/asciitable/#advanced-table-reading
The output of asciitable reader are numpy arrays, so you should be able to replace the functions you currently use more or less directly with asciitable.

A: NameValidator will use its default set for deletechars if constructed with deletechars=None, but if you pass in a non-None set then it will use that.  And np.genfromtext takes a deletechars parameter which it passes to NameValidator.
So, you should be able to write
np.genfromtxt(..., deletechars=set())

for an empty set, or some subset of the default set("""~!@#$%^&*()-=+~\|]}[{';: /?.>,<"""):
deletechars = np.lib._iotools.NameValidator.defaultdeletechars - set("# ")
np.genfromtxt(..., deletechars=deletechars)

A: IMHO, genfromtxt is often used in cases where some simpler solutions would do.
So, unless you have some troublesome datasets (missing entries, multiple unknown column types), you're better off coding a quick and dirty parser (ie, skip some rows, parse the header, read the rest and reorganize at the end).
Now, if you really need genfromtxt, @ecatmur pointed justly that the deletechars argument of genfromtxt is sent to _iotools.NameValidator to constructs the set of characters to delete. Using deletechars=None tells NameValidator to use a default set. A first thing to try is to just not use deletechars=None, but an empty set or ''.
Note that no matter what, double quotes " and ending spaces will be deleted and similar names will be differentiated:
>>> fields = ["blah", "'blah'", "\"blah\"", "#blah", "blah "]
>>> np.lib._iotools.NameValidator(deletechars='').validate(fields)
... ('blah', "'blah'", 'blah_1', '#blah', 'blah_2')

The third and last entries would result in three columns named blah, so we have to rename them.
If this doesn't suit you, I'm afraid you're hitting a block: there's no current way to tell genfromtxt to accept a customized NameValidator. That could be a good idea, though, so you may want to raise the point on numpy's mailing list.


Did JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater Start the Fight That Led to His Exit?
JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater became an instant hero following his emergency slide-assisted resignation, prompted by abuse from a passenger aboard the flight. But now three other people tell the Wall Street Journal that Slater "instigated the confrontation." What gives?
According to Slater's version of the story, as told by his lawyer, Howard Turman, Slater intervened between two women fighting over baggage space while in Pittsburgh, and in the process sustained a gash to the forehead. When the plane landed at JFK, one of the women from the earlier confrontation became enraged and verbally abusive when her gate-checked bag wasn't available to her, responding with more cursing when Slater asked for an apology. At some point, Slater picked up the intercom, let rip an impromptu goodbye speech, grabbed two beers, popped the door and slid to the waiting tarmac.
The Wall Street Journal's article "Passenger: Flight Attendant Started Fray" appears to tell a somewhat different story. We think. In the Journal's account of Steven Slater's last flight, "Mr. Slater... was the one who instigated the confrontation that led to his now-famous exit."
Ms. Briskin said the seemingly normal conversation turned unexpectedly nasty when Mr. Slater blurted out an expletive to the passenger.
"I didn't think she was rude in the least," said Ms. Briskin, who was visiting the city for the first time. "It really blew my mind. It was so inappropriate."
Ms. Briskin said Mr. Slater sported a "nice gash" on his head for most of the flight, during which there were no problems until the end, when she said Mr. Slater began methodically opening the overhead bins and then slamming them shut.
Briskin—whose account contradicts the initial version of events, which held that Slater was angry with a passenger who got out of her seat when she was not supposed to, but seems to jibe with Slater's story as told by his attorney—says that Slater "looked disturbed at that point."
Ms. Dominijanni said Mr. Slater never returned with wipes to clean up the spilled coffee. She said he spent much of the 90-minute flight slamming overhead bins and refrigerator doors.
Looked "disturbed" and acted "strange"
Uh, okay. And the final argument that led to Slater's infamous departure?
Like the other two passengers, Ms. Liebhaber said she didn't witness the outburst that has been attributed to Mr. Slater in press reports: getting into an argument with a passenger; taking over the PA system and spewing obscenities at the passengers before declaring that he quit; and then making the dramatic escape down the emergency chute.
"I didn't even know anything happened until I got home and my mom saw it on the news," said Ms. Liebhaber, who lives on Long Island, in East Meadow.
This is the part of the article where I steal two beers and unfurl the slide. None of them saw Slater "getting into an argument with a passenger"? What? Didn't Marjorie Briskin claim to see Slater "blurt an expletive" at a woman while deplaning?
That's not the only odd thing about the Journal article. Why only interview these three passengers, none of whom seem to have witnessed the confrontation or the infamous exit? Were there no other passengers available to talk to—passengers who might have watched Slater's fight, heard his intercom speech, or seen him deplane via inflatable vinyl? Passengers like Phil Catilenet, say? Furthermore, why are these three passengers coming forward now, so long after the initial event? And how did the Journal, which—unlike other New York media outlets—hasn't put many resources towards this story, find these three passengers, each with this entirely new angle?
The Journal isn't the only paper whose coverage of the Slater aftermath feels like it has big gaps. Newsday, relying on an anonymous source in an article about JetBlue interviewing passengers, writes that "a woman in her 70s" seated in the front of the plane where Slater's argument occurred "recalled nothing like the confrontation Slater described." So, uh, what exactly did she recall? Newsday's source is silent on that point.
Obviously, the Journal would never take an anti-labor, business-protecting stance. But come on: Is Steven Slater really a "disturbed," "rude" liar who "instigate[d] the confrontation"? Or is JetBlue taking some reporters on a ride?

To determine whether creatine monohydrate was more effective than placebo in slowing long-term clinical decline in participants with Parkinson disease.
The Long-term Study 1, a multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, 1:1 randomized efficacy trial. Participants were recruited from 45 investigative sites in the United States and Canada and included 1741 men and women with early (within 5 years of diagnosis) and treated (receiving dopaminergic therapy) Parkinson disease. Participants were enrolled from March 2007 to May 2010 and followed up until September 2013.
Participants were randomized to placebo or creatine (10 g/d) monohydrate for a minimum of 5 years (maximum follow-up, 8 years).
The primary outcome measure was a difference in clinical decline from baseline to 5-year follow-up, compared between the 2 treatment groups using a global statistical test. Clinical status was defined by 5 outcome measures: Modified Rankin Scale, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, PDQ-39 Summary Index, Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living scale, and ambulatory capacity. All outcomes were coded such that higher scores indicated worse outcomes and were analyzed by a global statistical test. Higher summed ranks (range, 5-4775) indicate worse outcomes.
The trial was terminated early for futility based on results of a planned interim analysis of participants enrolled at least 5 years prior to the date of the analysis (n = 955). The median follow-up time was 4 years. Of the 955 participants, the mean of the summed ranks for placebo was 2360 (95% CI, 2249-2470) and for creatine was 2414 (95% CI, 2304-2524). The global statistical test yielded t1865.8 = -0.75 (2-sided P = .45). There were no detectable differences (P < .01 to partially adjust for multiple comparisons) in adverse and serious adverse events by body system.
Among patients with early and treated Parkinson disease, treatment with creatine monohydrate for at least 5 years, compared with placebo did not improve clinical outcomes. These findings do not support the use of creatine monohydrate in patients with Parkinson disease.
aTaking exclusionary medications (n = 67), not taking dopaminergic therapy (n = 34), diagnosis uncertain (n = 24), medical condition (n = 22), Parkinson disease too advanced (n = 22), enrolled in another study (n = 4), inability to consent (n = 2), non–English-speaking (n = 2), or failure to meet other inclusion criteria (n = 11).
bNine additional deaths occurred after participants withdrew consent (creatine monohydrate, n = 4; placebo, n = 5).
cCohort (cohort 1) used in the interim efficacy analyses.

Wynonna Judd's Tour Bus Catches Fire
Daniel Boczarski, Getty Images
Wynonna Judd is giving thanks after her tour bus caught fire before a big show in Pennsylvania.
The country star shared the news via Twitter on Wednesday evening (Feb. 25).
She went on to post a string of updates that read as follows:
Bus generator just caught on fire. Thankfully: 1) We weren't in the bus while traveling to a show. 2) that we have another bus that's available to take us to PA tonight. 3) We are all ok, that no one is hurt. 4) That we have such a great team, that everyone is so positive during this hectic experience. 5) We still have plenty of time to still get to the show. 6) That our driver was with the bus to out out the fire or all my tour stuff would be gone. 7) That there is a reason for ALL things. This distraction is probably causing us to stop now so that we avoid something even worse that could have happened up the road. I'm grateful. Once again, God is SO GOOD!
Judd and her band are scheduled to perform at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, Pa. Thursday night (Feb. 26) as part of her current Stories & Song tour, which runs through March 8 before wrapping up in Boston.
The show features Judd sharing stories from her long career, providing personal insights into the process that inspired her biggest hits.
"I have shared the stage with some of the greatest singers and musicians in the world and I have recorded with artists from all genres of music," she says. "It has been an amazing journey for me. I'm an ordinary woman that extraordinary things have happened to because I choose to continue to suit up and show up where I am called. I am more passionate now than I have ever been about my life, my gift, my faith, hopes and dreams, and I want so much to share my story and my songs with my fans."
According to Judd's tour schedule, Thursday night's show will still go on as planned.

The Sunflower family is a very large family with over 25,000 members. Botanists subdivide the family into a number of tribes of which 14 are represented in Monterey County, one of these, the Heliantheae or Sunflower tribe, being further broken down into subtribes of which 9 are represented in Monterey County. The Cichorieae (Dandelion) tribe has two distinctive features. The first is that they all have stems with milky sap. The second (and more important) is that they do not have disk and ray flowers like typical daisies. Instead they have what are called "ligules" which resemble strap-like ray flowers but, unlike ray flowers, have both male and female parts – without which no reproduction would be possible. Another difference is that ray flowers have 0–3 lobes at the tip; ligules have 5. This page covers a number of non-native plants, most of them weedy and some invasive.
Very common in grassland, often in large numbers. Most easily distinguished by the small size of its flower heads (no more than 1 cm across) and the hairless leaves in a basal rosette. Buds are long and slender with purple-tipped phyllaries. Fruits are of 2 different types in a single head. The outer fruits are cylindric, tapered to the base only and with no beak. Inner fruits are tapered at both ends and have long beaks. The pappus of both is noticeably plumose.
Easily distinguished from the Smooth Cat's Ear (Hypochaeris glabra) by its larger flowers (typically about 2 cm across), its coarser, hairy leaves and its greater height. At first sight may be confused with the Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), but, apart from rather different leaves that lack the sharply toothed lobes of the latter, the underside of the ligules are reddish and there are many fewer of them. Phyllaries are purple-tipped and not reflexed. Unlike the Smooth Cat's Ear, the fruits are of one kind only, tapered at both ends, beaked and noticeably plumose. Can be found in huge numbers.
Common. The onion-dome shaped bud is distinctive. The shape of the leaves is extremely variable. Cauline leaves are clasping, the lower ones with clasping lobes with tips that are acute but not curved or coiled (unlike the rounded and strongly curved or coiled tips of the clasping lobes in Prickly Sow-thistle (Sonchus asper)). The terminal lobe of the cauline leaves is often widely arrow-shaped. Fruits have 2–4 ribs and are cross-wrinkled. The plant can grow very tall (as much as 6–8 feet) although 2–3 feet is more usual.
Slightly less common than Common Sow-thistle (Sonchus oleraceus), generally unbranched but with similar flowers and onion-dome shaped buds. The leaves are distinctive, sharply toothed and prickly. Cauline leaves are clasping, the lower ones with clasping lobes that have tips that are rounded and strongly curved or coiled (unlike the acute but not curved or coiled tips of the clasping lobes in Common Sow-thistle). Fruits have 3 ribs but are otherwise smooth.
A very common lawn weed. Note the large number of ligules compared to the two Cat's Ears (Hypochaeris sp.). Note also the recurved outer phyllaries which are not found in the Cat's Ears or the native Dandelions. The leaves are large, smooth and coarsely serrated. resembling a slightly rounded, barbed arrow-head.
Comparatively uncommon. This is distinguished by its finely bristly leaves which may be entire, toothed or lobed. Petioles of the basal leaves are winged. The peduncle thickens towards the tapering receptacle. Ligules are reddened on the lower surface.
Much-branched with pale yellow flowers. The bristly phyllaries, stems and leaves are distinctive and amply justify the common name of this rather unattractive plant. Many of the bristles arise from a whitish, pimply base.

Odslanjivanje ili desalinacija vode postupak je djelomičnog ili potpunog uklanjanja minerala iz vode (obično morske), za dobivanje pitke vode, tehnološke vode (npr. napojne vode) ili vode za navodnjavanje te dobivanja soli kao dodatne tvari. Krajevi uz more i otoci često imaju velike poteškoće s opskrbom pitkom i tehnološkom vodom pa se zbog toga sve češće javljaju stalne ili povremene nestašice vode i sve posljedice koje iz toga proizlaze.

Odslanjivanje oceanske vode često je na Bliskom Istoku, Karibima, u SAD-u, Sjevernoj Africi, Španjolskoj, Australiji i Kini. Kuvajt se koristi odslanjenom vodom za poljoprivredu. Odslanjivanje vode rabi se i na brodovima i podmornicama te na nekim otocima. Saudijska Arabija ima udio od 24 % ovako proizvedene pitke vode u svijetu. Najveće svjetsko postrojenje Jebel Ali Desalination Plant u Ujedinjenim Arapskim Emiratima proizvodi 300 milijuna kubičnih metara vode godišnje. Prednosti su velika dostupnost sirovine (morska voda), dok je nedostatak to što je odslanjivanje vode vrlo skupo u usporedbi s drugim izvorima slatke vode jer zahtijeva veliki utrošak energije i skupu opremu.

Ukupne otopljene tvari ili TDS
Ukupne otopljene tvari ili TDS (engl. Total Dissolved Solids) izraz je koji se koristi za opis količine anorganskih soli i manjih količina organskih tvari koje su prisutne i otopljene u vodi. Mjerna jedinica je miligram na litru (mg/l). Glavninu soli čine kationi kalcija, magnezija, natrija i kalija te anioni karbonata, hidrogenkarbonata, klorida, sulfata i nitrata. Otopljene tvari u vodi mogu utjecati na njen okus. Na temelju izmjerenih vrijednosti ocjenjuje se ukusnost vode za piće.

Električna vodljivost
Električna vodljivost vode je sposobnost vode da provodi električnu energiju. Ta sposobnost ovisi o prisutnosti iona, o njihovoj ukupnoj koncentraciji, o pokretljivosti i valenciji iona i o temperaturi mjerenja. Otopine većine anorganskih spojeva relativno su dobri vodići. Nasuprot tome molekule organskih spojeva, koje se ne razlažu u vodenoj otopini, električnu struju provode vrlo slabo (ako je uopće provode).

Jedinica mjere elektrovodljivosti je mikrosimens po centimetru (mS/cm), što je obrnuta vrijednost jedinici električnog otpora, mikroomu po centimetru, tj.: 1 S/cm = 1/(1 om/cm). Izmjerenom vrijednošću električne vodljivosti možemo procijeniti stupanj mineralizacije vode i tako ocijeniti o kojoj je vrsti vode riječ.

Prerada pitke vode odslanjivanjem
Prerade pitke vode odslanjivanjem ima sljedeće korake:
 prva analiza vode
 predobrada: flokulacija, filtracija, doziranje
 odslanjivanje vode ili desalinacija
 naknadna obrada: kloriranje, te korekcija pH vrijednosti.

Podjela postupaka odslanjivanja vode
Postupke odslanjivanja vode možemo podijeliti na toplinske postupke (destilacija, sunčeva destilacija) i membranske postupke (povratna osmoza, ionska izmjena).

Destilacija
Destilacija je tradicionalan način odslanjivanja vode. To je odjeljivanje sastojaka na osnovu različitog vrelišta. Vakuum destilacija provodi se na nižim temperaturama od 100 ºC, pa se postiže ušteda energije. Postoje 4 vrste destilacije:
 isparavanje povezano s kondenzacijom
 višefazna (frakcijska) destilacija u kojoj se odvaja destilat u različitim temperaturnim područjima
 višestruka destilacija (destilira se više puta)
 kompresijska destilacija (pri povišenom tlaku).

Sunčeva destilacija
Sunčeva destilacija je samokontrolirajući prirodni kružni proces (najučinkovitija potrošnja energije). Za ovaj postupak nije potrebna prethodna obrada vode. Dobivena voda potpuno je čista, ne sadrži nikakve čestice ni mikroorganizme. Postupak radi i za vode s visokom koncentracijom soli. Radi se na relativno niskoj temperaturi od 85°C. Unutar sunčevih destilacijskih komora nema pokretnih dijelova, pa je ugradnja brza i održavanje jednostavno. Nedostatak sunčeve destilacije je skupo ulaganje jer su svi dijelovi sustava koji dolaze u dodir sa slanom vodom izrađeni od materijala otpornih na koroziju. Sunčeva destilacija ovisi o gustoći sunčeve energije i proizvodnja je nestalna, te time pogodna samo za male potrošače.

Povratna osmoza
Povratna osmoza je metoda koja služi za dobivanje pitke vode iz slane vode. Postupak koristi polupropusnu membranu kroz koju prolazi čista voda a zaostaju soli. Tlak slane vode mora biti oko 25 bar, što ovu metodu čini skupom za proizvodnju većih količina svježe vode. Kloridi, amonijak i ugljikov dioksid su male molekule pa prolaze polupropusnu membranu, te ih treba naknadno ukloniti aktivnim ugljenom. Neke bakterije i virusi takoder prolaze polupropusnu membranu, pa i njih treba dezinficirati (kloriranje, ozon, UV svjetiljka, sunčeva dezinfekcija).

Povratna osmoza ili reverzna osmoza je skoro savršen proces filtriranja vode. Ovaj proces omogućuje odstranjivanje najsitnijih čestica iz vode. Povratna osmoza se koristi za pročišćavanje vode i odstranjivanje neorganskih minerala, soli i ostalih nečistoća u cilju poboljšanja izgleda, ukusa i ostalih svojstava vode. Tako se dobiva kvalitet voda za piće koji zadovoljava sve standarde voda za piće. Nakon poznatih načina prečišćavanje vode industrijskom filtracijom (gradski vodovod i tvornice), prokuhavanjem i kloriranjem, došlo se do tehnički skoro savršenog načina filtriranja vode, koji gotovo od svake zagađene vode može načiniti zdravu pitku voda. Osmotske membrane koje se koriste u ovom postupku imaju toliko sitne otvore da kroz njih mogu proći gotovo samo molekule čiste vode, a sve nečistoće ostaju na membrani i izbacuju se preko odvoda kao tehnička otpadna voda. Ovakvim načinom filtracije vode dobiva se voda za piće visoke kvalitete, koja se može koristiti i u medicinske svrhe (voda za bebe).

Osmoza je prirodan postupak koji je izvediv i u obrnutom pravcu. Na solnu otopinu djelujemo s tlakom viših od osmoznog, te iz otopine soli kroz membranu prolazi čista voda. Otopljene soli i primjese kao koloidi, bakterije,virusi i sl. ostaju u otopini, a na drugoj strani membrane dobijemo čistu vodu. Povratna osmoza je postupak odvajanja otopljenih tvari od otapala (vode). Sam postupak dobivanja vode,kojoj oduzmemo do 99% nepoželjnih nečistoća, dobijemo na način da vodu pod višim tlakom usmjerimo na membranu, gdje se odvaja čista voda od kontaminata.

Ionska izmjena
Ionska izmjena je postupak koji uključuje upotrebu ionskih izmjenjivača koji mogu vezati ione iz otopine, a otpuštati jednaku (ekvivalentnu) količinu vlastitih iona. Ionski izmjenjivači su uglavnom visokopolimerni spojevi (postoje i mineralni) koji imaju svojstvo da vežu ione iz otopine, a pri tome oslobađaju jednaku količinu istoimeno nabijenih iona. Ion ionske smole sadrži različite kopolimere čvrsto vezane u trodimenzionalanu strukturu na koju su pričvršćene ionske skupine. Ovisno o strukturi imamo kationske i anionske izmjenjivače. Upotrebljavaju se za prečišćavanje različitih otopina, lijekova, omekšavanje ili demineraliziranje vode i drugo.

Ionska izmjena je postupak pri kojem se koristi sposobnost određenih tvari da ione iz vlastite molekule zamijene za ione iz kapljevine. Ionski izmjenjivači su netopive visokomolekularne tvari (ionske smole), s pozitivnim ili negativnim nabojem, koje ione izmjenjuju bez vidljivih fizičkih promjena. Prema kemijskom sastavu ionski izmjenjivači mogu biti anorganski ili organski, te prirodni ili sintetski. S obzirom na ulogu dijele se na kationske ili anionske ionske izmjenjivače. Vanjski oblik ionske smole je različit, pa mogu biti u obliku cijevi, kuglica, vlakana ili membrane. Različiti zahtjevi pročišćavanja otpadne vode primjenom ionske izmjene pri uklanjanju neželjenih iona iz vode mogu se postići primjenom samo jedne vrste ionske smole ili kombinacijom više njih.

Prirodni anorganski alumosilikatni izmjenjivači su gline (npr. montmorilonit) i zeoliti (npr. analcit, kabazit), a sintetski gel permutiti (za omekšavanje vode). Prirodni organski izmjenjivači su npr. ugljeni i celuloza, koja je hidrofilne i porozne naravi, pa je izmjena iona brza. Ona može biti neobrađena ili obrađena uvođenjem izmjenjivačkih skupina. U modernoj laboratorijskoj praksi prirodni ionski izmjenjivači zamijenjeni su sintetskim produktima, ionskim smolama koje datiraju negdje od polovice 20. stoljeća. Važni su i sintetski gel izmjenjivači dobiveni iz poprečno vezanog dekstrana (Sephadex) ili poliakrilamida (Bio-Gel). To su i molekularna sita. Svi navedeni ionsko-izmjenjivački materijali netopljivi su u vodi, ali mogu izmjenjivati vlastite pokretljive protuione s ionima iz okolnog medija, npr. iz morske vode koja sadrži oko 0,7 mol/dm3 elektrolita.

Q: If $a_n=n^\frac 1n-1, n \in \mathbb N$ prove that $0 \le a_n \le \sqrt {2/n}$? If $a_n=n^{\frac{1}{n}}-1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, prove that $0\le a_n\le\sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}$.
I tried with induction and signs, got nowhere. Any help is appreciated.

A: The inequality holds for $n\in\{1,2\}$.  Assume $n\geq 3$.  Apply the AM-GM inequality to the sequence of $n$ numbers $$1, 1, \dots, 1, 2, \sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}, \sqrt{\frac{n}{2}}$$ to obtain $$n^{1/n} \leq \frac{n-1+\sqrt{2n}}{n}$$ and your inequality follows.

9M: May & Baker Nigeria Grows Profit by 44% to N1bn
By Goddy Egene
One of Nigeria's pharmaceutical companies, May & Baker Nigeria Plc, has announced its nine months results for the period ended September 30, 2020, showing impressive growth in profitability as well as balance sheet.
Despite the lockdowns and disruptions caused by COVID-19 pandemic and other macroeconomic headwinds, May & Baker Nigeria Plc's sales rose 8.8 per cent to N6.44 billion in 2020, as against N5.92 billion recorded in 2019. While cost of sales dropped marginally from N3.75 billion to N3.74 billion, gross profit rose by 24.7 per cent from N2.16 billion to N2.70 billion.
Its profit before tax jumped by 44 per cent to N1.003 billion in 2020, compared with N696.4 million in 2019. Profit after tax grew by 43.9 per cent from N473.60 million to N681.70 million. Underlying profitability ratios showed a general improvement in the profitability of the company and value creation for investors.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director, May & Baker Nigeria Plc, Mr. Nnamdi Okafor, said the performance showed the resilience of the business strategy of the group in spite of the uncertainties and decline occasioned by COVID-19 pandemic.
He noted that continuing growth in sales underscored the increasing market shares of many key products and the success of the company's marketing and distribution strategies.
According to him, the company's investments in research, operations and production have put it in strong position to maintain leadership in the primary Nigerian market and to consolidate its expansion across neighbouring countries in line with its vision of being the dominant pharmaceutical brand in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA).
"We are delighted with the performance so far this year, and we are hopeful to sustain this. Given the general difficulties and uncertainties in the operating environment, our results are encouraging. Our shareholders are seeing the results of our perseverance," Okafor said.
While calling on the Federal Government to consider the domestic healthcare industry in its policy formulations, Okafor assured stakeholders that May & Baker Nigeria will leverage its almost eight decades of operations and state-of-the-art facilities to take advantage of the emerging opportunities from the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
Meanwhile, the stock market started the month of December with growth of 0.30 per cent as the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) All-Share Index rose to 35,147.62.

Ginny Messina, The Vegan R.D.
New research from Canada found that kids who don't drink cow's milk are shorter than those who do. It's a finding that makes for some sensational headlines but the study itself is not all that exciting.
This was a cross-sectional study of 5,034 children between the ages of two and six years (average age was about three years). Of the study population, 246 kids, or about 5% of the subjects, drank only non-cow's milk, which included plant milks and goat's milk. For each daily cup of non-cow's milk consumed, children were 0.16 inch shorter. By age three, those who drank three cups of non-cow's milk per day were about 0.6 inches shorter than children who drank an equivalent amount of cow's milk, but this finding wasn't statistically significant.
Since cross-sectional studies look at relationships only at a single point in time, they are generally weak types of evidence. And this particular study provided no additional information about the diets of these children. It also didn't differentiate among types of non-cow's milk. These are two crucial factors, especially because the researchers suggested that the differences in height may have been due to differences in protein intake.
Both overall diet and type of plant milk consumed would have a very big effect on how much protein these children were getting. A toddler drinking three cups per day of almond milk will likely have a much lower protein intake than one consuming three cups of soymilk. This is one reason why vegan nutrition experts recommend soymilk as the best option when kids are being weaned from breast milk or infant formula. This study would have provided more relevant information if it had compared children drinking cow's milk to those drinking soymilk.
Overall, these findings suggest that type of milk consumed may impact childhood growth, but it's not possible to determine this without looking at milk consumption within the context of the whole diet. More importantly, there is no evidence that cow's milk has advantages over other protein-rich milks like soymilk or protein-fortified plant milks for kids or anyone else.

Among the many famous spoons on display will be designs from Omar Ramsden, Archibald Knox, Oliver Baker for Liberty's and the Birmingham Guild of Handicrafts. The Derby Porcelain Society will be presenting this Winters feature exhibition as they display examples of all three Derby porcelain factories, spanning from the mid 18th century to the present day.
Simon will also be selling his latest book entitled "Artists' Spoons & Related Table Cutlery - A British History of Arts & Crafts Flatware" at the fair.


The ESa Sounder Campaign (ESSenCe) conducted field measurements utilizing the high-altitude research aircraft Geophysica to quantify processes that control the composition and structure of the mid to upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). It took place in Kiruna/Sweden in December 2011. This activity supports the in-flight testing of a new imaging infra-red limb-sounder (GLORIA) and a millimetre-wave limb-sounder (MARSHALS).
This paper gives a general overview about the ESSenCe campaign, the aircraft instrumentation, the meteorological situation as well as the GLORIA instrument performance. GLORIA dynamics mode data is presented in some more depth. This data indicates a thin vertical structure at about 14 km extending about 500m vertically. It is most likely an intrusion of deeper stratospheric air, as indicated by relatively large ozone and HNO3 values together with small CFC-11 values. The observation of such fine structures highlights the unprecedented vertical resolution of GLORIA data and demonstrates the potential of imaging Fourier Transform Spectroscopy for limb viewing instruments to observe small scale mixing events.

ACLU sues Betsy DeVos over "reprehensible" new sexual assault rules
Suit against DOE claims new Title IX rules could mean far fewer campus reports of sexual harassment and assault

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that would block parts of her department's new Title IX rule, saying the guidance will "slash schools' obligations to respond to reports of sexual harassment and assault."
The new guidance, which DeVos released May 6, is by the Education Department's own admission expected to reduce sexual assault investigations on campus by as much as 32 percent.
In a press statement, the ACLU said the rule creates "a second-class standard for reports of sexual harassment and assault" by putting sexual harassment allegations through a different and more strict investigative process than harassment based on race or disability.
Joel Levin, co-founder of Stop Sexual Assault in Schools, one of the three victims' rights groups represented in the filing, said in a statement, "Sexual harassment and assault have no place in our schools. In a reprehensible move that puts students at risk, the new rule gives schools more leeway to ignore their Title IX responsibilities."
The regulations strengthen due process rights for the accused, such as allowing live hearings and victim cross-examination by legal representatives and perpetrators alike. These changes, the ACLU says, will "inflict significant harm" on victims of abuse and "dramatically undermine" their civil rights.
The lawsuit targets a handful of specific imbalances, alleging that the guidance redefines sexual harassment in an anomalous and restrictive way, compels administrators to ignore reports of off-campus misconduct and raises the evidentiary standard for sexual harassment and assault higher than other harassment claims.
It was filed on behalf of three victims' rights groups and names the Education Department, DeVos and Kenneth Marcus, assistant secretary for civil rights.
Angela Morabito, press secretary at the Department of Education, told Salon in an email that the new rule "codifies meaningful protections for survivors" and establishes "a transparent, fair, and reliable process" for processing claims.
"Under the previous administration's misguided approach, schools lost dozens of lawsuits by students who alleged the school either ignored sexual harassment or punished them without providing due process. We are holding schools accountable and protecting students by ensuring that no survivor is brushed aside and no accused student's guilt is predetermined," Morabito said, accusing the ACLU of "helping schools trample on basic due process" and "gutting protections for survivors."
In response, an ACLU spokesperson told Salon that the group is "committed both to ending sexual harassment and assault on campus, and to ensuring fair process for complainants and respondents alike."
"This lawsuit targets those provisions of the rule that reduce the responsibility of schools to take sexual harassment seriously, and that treat sexual harassment as a second-class problem. Creating barriers and making students jump through hoops to report sexual assault and harassment does nothing to ensure due process for all," the spokes person said.
The reactions last week split neatly on partisan lines, with Republicans applauding and Democrats condemning the rule, though all parties agree that the people who stand to benefit the most from the change are the accused — mostly men.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, said in a press statement when the rule was released that the revision "respects and supports victims and preserves due process rights for both the victim and the accused."
His Democratic counterpart, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, tweeted that the guidance is a "devastating blow."
"@BetsyDeVosED's Title IX rule is not about 'restoring balance,' it's about silencing survivors. It will make it harder for students to report an incident of sexual assault or harassment — and that much easier for a school to sweep it under the rug," she wrote.
The old rule had been under fire from men's rights advocates for years. A 2018 class-action lawsuit openly took up the grievances of accused student, presenting them as victims. Hundreds of federal lawsuits have been filed on behalf of accused male students, many of them victorious, as tracked in the "Title IX for All" archive.
It isn't the first time DeVos has been accused of putting politics over policy. Earlier this year she was threatened with a congressional subpoena when she blew off a scheduled House of Representatives hearing to stump for the Trump campaign, and her family has used its outsized wealth and influence to organize "astroturf" anti-lockdown protests.
John Gabrieli, founder and co-chair of the Every Voice Coalition of students against sexual violence, told Salon that DeVos' actions should set off a wave of lawsuits at all levels of government.
"Since the proposed guidelines were released in 2018, we have filed student-written legislation to combat sexual violence across five states that is specifically designed to cover the gaps in the DeVos guidelines," Gabrieli said. "We believe that now that the DeVos regulations have been finalized, the next frontier for activists will be to pass state-level legislation to step into the void that's being left by the federal government," he said.

Toxic Bloom Hot Spot Off Washington Coast
US - A new study funded by NOAA and the National Science Foundation reveals that a part of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which separates Washington state from Canadas British Columbia, is a potential hot spot for toxic harmful algal blooms affecting the Washington and British Columbia coasts.
Understanding where and how these blooms originate and move is critical for accurate forecasts that could provide early warning to protect human and ecosystem health, according to NOAA scientists.
Scientists concluded that under certain conditions, toxic algal cells from this offshore "initiation site" break off and are transported to nearshore areas, where they can trigger blooms that can ultimately force the closure of Washington state shellfish beds on beaches.
The collaborative study, conducted by a team of scientists and students from NOAA's Fisheries Service, San Francisco State University and the universities of Washington, Maine and Western Ontario, is part of the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms Pacific Northwest programme.
"Understanding how and where harmful algal blooms originate will help provide early warnings to protect human health and reduce the impact of biotoxins on Washington's coastal shellfisheries," said Vera Trainer, Ph.D., lead author of the study and programmeme manager at the NOAA Fisheries' Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle.
Over the course of the five-year study, scientists noted the Juan de Fuca eddy, a circular water mass rotating approximately 30 miles off the northern coast of Washington at the mouth of the Juan de Fuca Strait, frequently contained significant populations of the microscopic alga, Pseudo-nitzschia. Scientists and their students undertook thousands of measurements at sea and conducted experiments onboard research vessels and in their laboratories to better understand the factors that initiate and sustain the growth of this toxic alga and determine why it produces a deadly biotoxin.
This naturally-produced biotoxin, domoic acid, can accumulate in shellfish, crabs and some fish. By attacking the nervous system it can cause adverse health effects or even death in birds, marine mammals and humans who consume affected marine species. Fishing communities can suffer severe economic losses due to closures of recreational, subsistence and commercial harvesting and lost tourism.

Chicago aldermen reduce oversight of their campaign fundraising
By By Hal Dardick
Clout Street |
Emanuel defended the move by aldermen to shift oversight of aldermanic campaign finances to the Board of Ethics, instead of the legislative inspector general.
The City Council today voted to give the job of campaign finance oversight of aldermen to a city agency that doesn't want it, a move that the council's watchdog said will be viewed as "a cynical ploy" to avoid scrutiny.
Aldermen voted 41-6 to allow the Board of Ethics to review campaign finances of aldermen and other council candidates for violations of city campaign limits, even though the ethics board chairman had urged aldermen to give the authority to Legislative Inspector Faisal Khan.
The move comes less than seven months before the February city elections in which candidates will be trying to raise significant amounts of money.
"In about seven months, each and every one of you will be up for re-election, and if the numbers continue to trend the way they are trending, there will be a record number of candidates for the position of aldermen in 2015" Khan told aldermen at the committee meeting. He urged that they give him the power to investigate their campaign fundraising, saying the authority properly rested with his office.
The Board of Ethics "has flat out stated that they don't want (the responsibility of campaign finance investigations), has shown their inability to handle them and which frankly the law says does not belong to them," Khan said.
Approval of the change "will be seen as nothing but a cynical ploy by this body to prevent its own investigative agency from doing the work it's been mandated to do."
The proposal was pushed by Ald. Patrick O'Connor, 40th, the council floor leader for Mayor Rahm Emanuel. O'Connor said he was trying to close a loophole created when the council in July 2013 enacted new rules, giving Khan only the authority to initiate campaign finance probes only when he receives a signed and sworn complaint. That prevents Khan from initiating his own investigations, and he sought the power to launch his own probes, with the backing of Board of Ethics Chairman Stephen Beard.
"The Office of Legislative Inspector general has the authority to investigate only matters in which it has received signed and sworn complaints," Beard wrote in March 7 letter to the mayor and aldermen. "Many years of investigating campaign contribution matters have taught us that property enforcing those laws is a pro-active business — it requires that investigators be able to comb through contribution and other government records and then initiate investigations, not sit and wait for such complaints to come in."
Beard also made it clear that the board, which now judges charges brought by the legislative inspector general instead of conducting probes, did not want the authority back. "As the adjudicator, the Board of Ethics can no longer be in the investigation business," he wrote.
Ald. Robert Fioretti, 2nd, one of the aldermen who voted against giving the power to the Board of Ethics, also questioned whether the board has the financial wherewithal to conduct such probes, given a backlog of such investigations that developed when it had such power before July 2013.
"We are now going to dump (the investigations) back into the same body that said they didn't have enough resources to investigate all these complaints in the past," Fioretti said. Khan agreed, saying the Board of Ethics has not done a campaign finance investigation since 2008.
After the meeting, Khan said the change would give aldermen carte blanche to do as the please when it comes to campaign finance.
"Nobody will be reviewing all the campaign donations that are coming in to the candidates and the incumbents," Khan said. "And without that review, to see who exactly is giving money to whom and for what purpose, we don't know if anyone will be elected legally, illegally or whether that money should be returned. . . . They talk about that they are ready for reform, (when) this clearly proves that they are not."
The change, he said, is designed "to make sure for the next seven months the money flows in freely, and they can do whatever they want."
City ordinances limit campaign finances from people who are doing business with the city to $1,500. Khan said he's frequently been alerted to potential violations that he has not been able to probe.
Voting no: Fioretti, 2nd; Leslie Hairston, 5th; Scott Waguespack, 32nd; Nicholas Sposato, 36th; Brendan Reilly, 42nd; and John Arena, 45th.
In other City Council action today:
*Ald. Scott Waguespack, 32nd, said he plans to introduce a resolution calling for hearings on the city's red light cameras in the wake of a Tribune investigation that found suspicious ticket spikes at dozens of intersections throughout the city.
On Friday, City Inspector General Joseph Ferguson said he was conducting a sweeping review of the program in response to the Tribune's findings, and Emanuel is sending out letters giving drivers caught in those spikes a chance for another review of their violations.
*Emanuel, meanwhile, plans to introduce an ordinance that would ramp up the city's minimum wage from the current $8.25 an hour to $13 an hour by 2018. But the proposal won't be acted on until the General Assembly gets a chance to move on the same issue after the November election, when an advisory referendum on increasing the state's minimum wage to $10 an hour is on the ballot.
*Other issues on today's council agenda include boosting the city's 911 tax on all telephone bills by $16.80 a year to stave off a property tax increase for pension funding; naming the park next to the city's historic Water Tower after former Mayor Jane Byrne; and enacting a ban on aldermanic hiring of workers who were fired by the city for misconduct or left City Hall under a cloud of allegations.

Gervais Pulls Away From Sheridan In Win
Posted by Jeremy McDonald on January 31, 2022
GERVAIS, Ore.– Sheridan once more showed that they are no easy out as they faced Gervais for the second time over the course of the last seven days Monday night in Gervais.
Their physical playing style and aggression defensively creates headaches if done right against their oppositions offense and they did just that in keeping the Cougars at bay for three quarters in Gervais' 54-31 win. The Spartans worked the inside post game for the first half even, working away from their perimeter shooters in Haley Ayala and Onahzay Pacheco and instead let Natalie Nielsen use their length to work around the Cougs defense.
The junior Nielsen scored 12 of her 13 points in the opening half. One of the baskets involved had handed Sheridan a brief 15-14 lead as the Sparts rallied from 8-0 down to take the one-point lead.
"It was nice, it felt good to go in and really take over in the paint and not shooting so much like we usually do," Nielsen said.
The crucial part of the defensive game-plan moving into the second half, as Gervais led 23-17, was how to address Nielsen. Once they did however, that's when everything just clicked defensively. Outside of a run that turned a 27-17 Gervais lead to an uncomfortable 28-26 advantage, Nielsen was held to one second half point with the Cougs pulling ahead 35-26 going into the fourth quarter and not looking back.

"We just had to put a body on her because that wasn't something that we were doing in the beginning. But once we find a body and then we were able to shut her down," Gervais Olivia Boyd said. "It's a big confidence booster, we just lost to Salem Academy so it was just good to come back in with a win. Especially with a physical game, it's nice to start it off with a win.
"We really needed to work on our zone offense and that's what we did during the rest of the week (last week). We worked on zone offense and came back today and it worked a lot better for us."
Boyd finished with a game-high 19 points for Gervais and Ayala, who came alive in the second half, scoring 11 of her team-high 14 points in the game for Sheridan as both teams kick off one of those physically taxing weeks.
The Cougars play Colton and Western Christian Wednesday and Thursday while the Spartans play the Pioneers, Salem Academy and Colton Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday respectively. All with TRC League Playoff seeding at stake as the regular season draws to a close in the coming days.
"Just looking at what we need to fix, making sure all of our defense is locked down and looking at our games previous playing against them. Fixing things and building from there," Nielsen said. "Come together as a group and play together as a family."

Cory Chisel, FREEA plan partnership at historic site
Monte Alverno property to get music focus.
Cory Chisel, FREEA plan partnership at historic site Monte Alverno property to get music focus. Check out this story on postcrescent.com: http://post.cr/1GCJHO8

It appears Mile of Music was just the start of Cory Chisel's efforts to give Appleton a boost.
The Fox Valley-raised singer-songwriter and co-founder of the annual downtown music festival confirmed a deal with the Fox River Environmental Education Alliance, which purchased the former Monte Alverno Retreat Center in 2014. The deal will allow Chisel to use the property along the Fox River for a variety of artistic endeavors.
In return, the nonprofit organization gets a recognizable face to help push them forward.
"I basically found a home base for my creative projects and for creative projects I want to do in the community and in the broader world," Chisel said.
The former Capuchin Franciscan Province of St. Joseph retreat center is located at 1000 N. Ballard Road in Appleton.

FREEA, which purchased the 10-acre property and its historic buildings in an effort to preserve them and offer environmental education and community activities, has been exploring other suitable options for the property. An earlier plan for the land to host the Fox River Academy, an environmentally focused charter school, fell apart in January.
FREEA executive director Vicki Vogel said teaming up with Chisel is a big benefit to both parties.
"It's a great partnership," Vogel said. "He definitely has an environmental caring and passion. I really believe that if he wasn't involved in music he would be working in the environmental world somewhere. So this was kind of a way for his two passions to meet."
The idea, Vogel said, is for Chisel to use his high-profile status in the Fox Cities to help draw attention to the preserve and the FREEA mission. He'll also provide a financial boost for the nonprofit, which formed in 2007 with the goal of furthering environmental education in the Fox Cities.
"We're calling it a refuge for animals, nature and human beings, to sort of preserve and conserve not only the environment but also the development of creative ideas," said Chisel, who won't have a formal title but will play an ambassador-type role. "It's like a cultural center of sorts."
"We're going to do tons of fun stuff in that building. It's a really exciting thing."
Cory Chisel
Among Chisel's plans for the space, which he said will get a new name when more details are announced later this week, is to use part of the facility as a performance venue and install a recording studio.
"We'll run sort of my Wandering Sons projects through there, my side projects," Chisel said. "A lot of my friends that sort of in a dream world I'd love to have come to record in Appleton, now I sort of have a place where I can dictate that happening."
"He wants to do a lot of music on the property and we encourage that," Vogel said. "It brings attention to the environmental efforts, it draws people back to the Fox River just to enjoy it. We're not about preaching (on) environmental issues all the time. We believe that by getting people down there and enjoying the property in a variety of ways, they will care."
Involving the arts community — of which Chisel is a marquee member — has always been part of FREEA's plans, Vogel said. The two goals of the organization are to protect and restore the land and to provide environmental education — and merging those with fine arts has always been included in their outside-the-box approach.
"The reason why we purchased the property and created the organization that we have is because we saw a unique opportunity for the community to be able to get out on the river and enjoy it again," Vogel said.
"The really cool buildings that were left behind by the Capuchins" are also a draw, she said. "We also look at those buildings as being for the community and the property being inspiring."
The new creative headquarters for Chisel, who splits time between Appleton and Nashville, is on 10 acres of land on the Fox River. The main building, which includes a chapel, is about 33,000 square feet and includes 57 bedrooms.
The land also includes a 5,000-square foot home, a garage that's used to house equipment and a 300-square foot cottage near the water.
FREEA uses the site for environmental retreats and summer camps, among other things.
"This is going to be an amazing space," Chisel said. "The stuff that we can do in this place is something I could never do just about anywhere else. It has so many aspects — being on so much property, it being a private place, it being a preserved place. ... We're going to do tons of fun stuff in that building. It's a really exciting thing."

Would you find artifact scanning useful if added to the newer gpu tools?
Hey guys, who developed OC Scanner X as well as MSI Kombustor?
As far as I know, MSI Kombustor is the only gpu test tool actively being developed? Furmark and EVGA OC SCANNER X has seemed to no longer be under development.
What I want to know is, obviously OC Scanner X and MSI Kombustor are very close to the same programs, so why was the useful (I really need it and loved it) artifact scanning option removed from the later versions? I've managed to get the latest version of OC Scanner X x64 to work on my PC with artifact scanning enabled on my AMD r9 strix card, but it's definitely not picking up artifacts. I'm curious as to why this feature was abandoned, and is there any way to re-enable it (even if it's a secret string to add in the .ini or whatever)?
Can this be added to Kombustor or is there a new currently in development GPU tool that has artifact scanning?


Backcountry camping food includes ingredients used to prepare food suitable for backcountry camping and backpacking. The foods differ substantially from the ingredients found in a typical home kitchen. The primary differences relate to campers and backpackers special needs for foods that have appropriate cooking time, perishability, weight and nutritional content.
To address these needs, camping food is often made up of either freeze-dried, precooked or dehydrated ingredients. Many campers use a combination of these foods.
Due to the difficulty of carrying large amounts of cooking fuel, campers often require their meals to cook in a short amount of time (5–20 minutes). Many campers prefer a 'just add boiling water' method of cooking, while others enjoy a more involved, and therefore often higher quality meal. The amount of cooking time can be disregarded if campers are able to cook over a campfire, however, due to the possibility of a burn-ban being in place, campers do not often rely on this option.
Camping foods are often shelf-stable, that is, they require no refrigeration. Campers may be outdoors for days or weeks at a time, and will often pack food for the entire trip. Campers will sometimes take fresh food that can be consumed in the first day or two of a hike but will usually not risk carrying perishable food beyond that timeframe. Campers hiking in the snow or other cold conditions or campers with access to a cold water source may be able to store perishable food in the snow or secured in a bag and kept in the cold water to act as a refrigeration source.
Backpackers must carry everything with them so they require all of their gear and food to be as lightweight as possible. Campers often turn to freeze-dried and dehydrated meals and ingredients for this reason, but they will also sometimes take a pouch of tuna or some other ingredient with a high water content with them as a treat, providing that the item has nutritional value.
Backpackers, canoeists, climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts often cover many miles everyday, consuming thousands of calories to keep their energy level high. Backpackers require an average of 480 calories per hour, as well as higher sodium levels. To ensure their bodies are properly nourished, campers must pay close attention to their meal plans.
To prepare meals that work well outdoors, campers have begun to employ a variety of techniques. All campers are advised to prepare meals that are made of easy to prepare ingredients. Freeze dried eggs can be shelf stable for up to 25 years. Freeze-drying requires the use of heavy machinery and is not something that most campers are able to do on their own. Freeze-dried ingredients are often considered superior to dehydrated ingredients however, because they rehydrate at camp faster and retain more flavour than their dehydrated counterparts. Freeze-dried ingredients take so little time to rehydrate that they can often be eaten without cooking them first and have a texture similar to a crunchy chip.
Small amounts of freeze-dried ingredients are sometimes available for sale from emergency supply outlets or from stores specific to camping. Freeze-dried ingredients that have not been combined into a meal are often hard to find, however, and are often sought out by campers. Dehydration can reduce the weight of the food by sixty to ninety percent by removing water through evaporation. Some foods dehydrate well, such as onions, peppers and tomatoes. Dehydration often produces a more compact, albeit slightly heavier, end result than freeze-drying.
Full meals or individual ingredients may be dehydrated. Dehydration of individual ingredients allows the flexibility to cook different meals based on available ingredients, while precooked and dehydrated meals offer greater convenience.
There is a large variety of camping stoves on the market ranging in specialty from being extremely lightweight to focusing on using very little fuel. The majority of campers rely on a stove for their cooking needs as they boast several advantages over cooking over a campfire. Since most camping stoves have an adjustable heat source, they can be much easier to use than a campfire. The ability to quickly adjust the flame to reduce your pot from a boil to a simmer, for example, is considered invaluable to many campers. Campfires can take a long time to start and get to a point where they are suitable for cooking over. Since a cook-stove can be ready in minutes, this is an advantage for many campers. Many types of cookware exist for outdoor cooking.
Wilderness areas can often have a burn-ban, prohibiting people from starting a fire. If a camper were to rely on the campfire method as their only source for cooking heat, they could find themselves in an unlucky situation. Cooking over a campfire can lead to pots and pans darkened with soot. Soot can be extremely difficult to remove and, if left on the pan, can easily rub off onto clothing or the inside of the backpack. Campers have discovered methods of preventing this problem, such as coating the pans with cooking oil, to make the soot easier to remove.
Campers relying on the use of a campfire do not have to carry the extra weight of a cook stove and may rely on a campfire to reduce their pack weight. Campfires provide a great amount of warmth while cook stoves provide none. On cold days, a campfire is often welcome. Leave No Trace discourages the use of a campfire as a source of heat. Campers making a campfire in the same location time after time can deplete the available wood in the area, which impacts the natural habitat of the animals. Campers are also more likely to inadvertently leave food scraps around the fire pit, which could attract animals. Some camping food is ready to eat and may be warmed using chemical heaters, such as the flameless heaters used in MREs, or a self-contained chemical heater built into the food packaging itself. Solar cooking provides clean and safe alternative to campfire. Using solar cookers is easy and inexpensive since they do not require fuel to work. Most solar cookers also provide minimum required temperature during cloudy days to prepare the food. Despite many advantages that solar cooking provides it is unusable during the night time and it will not provide heat and protection against wild animals like campfire does.


Complete and partial dentures can be a more cost-effective solution for many people with missing teeth.
Complete and partial dentures could be your solution to replace missing teeth. They offer a more cost-effective solution. Dentures can assist with maintaining normal chewing, bite (occlusion), speech and appearance of upper and lower jaws. For many people dentures improve people's oral health and appearance.
Complete dentures replace an entire upper and/or lower arch when all the natural teeth are missing. In some cases, implants may be necessary to help secure the denture.
A partial denture is made to fill the spaces left by missing teeth. These dentures can be made from acrylic or metal. Your dentist will be able to advise you on the best option dependant on your current oral health.
These dentures are constructed prior to the teeth being extracted and the denture inserted immediately. The advantage is that the patient is not without teeth for a period of time.
At Kitchener Street Dental, we endeavour to look after our patients in any way possible. We also provide denture cleaning, relining, remodelling and denture repairs. If you have been thinking about dentures, have more questions or are ready to book our friendly team would love to help. Contact our team to book your consultation.

Leave it to our editors to let you know what's trendy, what's the best, and ultimately whether it is the right choice for you or not. We also connect you to the region's leading and trusted online shops where you can make your purchase.
Our dedicated team puts hours into researching the best fit for you. As we all know, one size does not fit all. Whether you are looking for a laptop for gaming that suits your uni life, or makeup for sensitive skin at the best price – you name it, we've got it. We strive for localisation, recommending products that cater more to your environment and situation rather than generalizing the whole world. We have an international team from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.
You can trust our reviews and recommendations because our job is to find out the trendiest, up-to-date offers and products available in your region that have personally impressed our editors (and these are experts in their own category).
Every single research is done manually by our editors and not produced through any automatic way to generalize our findings. We cover categories from home and living, home appliances, tech gadgets, beauty products, food/drinks and more.
Lastly, we want our readers to have fun reading our content! We believe in delivering content that is easily digested, straight to the point, and not too long for our readers to understand. We might even recommend you products you did not know existed or probably did not realize you needed.
We also welcome you to give suggestions, feedback, and reviews on our site. Please write to us at [email protected] for any questions that you have.
