Most new appliances are a major investment and you want to get the most use out of them before it's time to upgrade or replace them again. While purchasing new appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens/stoves and washer/dryers may be expensive, you can often find good deals throughout the year – many times around certain holidays – and most come with warranties. With proper use, care and maintenance, you can keep your appliances in good working order and running for many years.
You may think operating your dishwasher or using your refrigerator needs no explanation and while that may be true, there are some simple things you can do to ensure they are functioning properly and aren't at risk for any future problems. It's also a good idea to have your major appliances inspected by a technician at least once a year, especially if you think you may need to replace them soon. To help avoid having to replace appliances, it's good to know how to use, clean and care for them. It can mean the difference between having appliances last for an extended period of time versus having to buy new appliances more often than the average lifespan.
Keep everything clean – This includes the interior and exterior parts of the refrigerator. Organize your fridge and make items easily accessible to reduce the amount of "open-door" time, and keep the top of the fridge clear of items as this can trap heat inside, which can make the compressor to work overtime. It's also important to clean (and replace when necessary) condenser coils and the gasket (rubber door seal).
Pay attention to temperature – Adjust the temperature to the mid-point setting (between 36 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit for the refrigerator and between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit for the freezer) to improve energy efficiency. Let hot items cool completely (at least to room temperature) and cover them tightly before storing them in the refrigerator. Keep refrigerators away from heat sources including ovens/stoves, dishwashers and heat vents. Following all of these tips will help decrease any heat inside of the appliance and reduce compressor usage to balance out any external temperature extremes.
Load dishwashers correctly – It's OK to load to capacity, but don't overload this appliance as it may not clean everything sufficiently and you'll end up having to use more water and energy to run it for a second cycle. Overloading can also lead to the dishwasher not running smoothly over time, which could cause it to need repairs sooner and more frequently than anticipated.
Remove excess food on dishes – While most dishwashers are equipped with a food disposal system, you should still scrape off as much food and debris as possible before loading and starting the cleaning cycle. This helps ensure a thorough cleaning and could also help prevent any future issues. For added energy efficiency, avoid pre-rinsing dishes in the sink which will also eliminate wasting water.
Don't rely on the dishwasher to "clean" itself – You may think that when you run your dishwasher that it will get a good cleaning, but you should run it when it's empty with a cup of white vinegar, lemon juice or another cleaning agent to remove any build-up and residue. Make sure to clean the spray arms by using a toothpick or tweezers to first remove anything that's clogging the small holes and openings in the arms and then finish by scrubbing the entire arm with a toothbrush.
Clean the oven regularly – You can do this by safely using its self-cleaning feature, or put a little elbow grease into the cleaning process by taking out the racks and spraying them and the entire interior with an oven cleaning spray. Don't forget to clean the cook/stove top and burners, too, especially if there are spills or burnt-on grease to help maintain good performance.
Replace the thermostat – If your oven's temperature seems either too hot or doesn't heat up hot enough to cook food, you may need to upgrade to a new thermostat to ensure that the temperature is properly regulated.
Don't slam the door – Opening and closing with too much force may result in a loose seal or door and detached hinges. Also avoid hanging heavy objects off the door as it can weaken the handle.
Remove dryer lint – Do this after every load of laundry to avoid a fire hazard and to keep it running efficiently. Too much buildup in the lint trap/screen can result in longer drying time, which uses more energy and electricity than needed.
Sanitize the washer once a month – This method works for both front- and top-loading washing machines. First, fill the washer completely (using the largest load setting) with hot water. Then, add a quart of white vinegar or bleach (you can also add a cup of baking soda) and let the washer agitate for a few minutes before stopping the cycle so everything can soak in the washer tub for an hour. This helps sanitize and flush any debris or buildup.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations – Use the proper amount and type of detergent depending on the machine model and load size. If you have a high efficiency (HE) washer, make sure to only use HE detergent so that you don't damage the appliance. Similarly, premeasured laundry pods/packs can also damage some models.

Sure, the name seems pretty self-explanatory, but do you really know what single-origin coffee means and how important it is to buy and support it if you're a coffee drinker? Read on and you shall.
The simplest definition of "single-origin" refers to a specific coffee (not a blend like multi-origin coffee) that's been sourced from one grower or producer in a single country; similarly, if you see coffee marked "single farm" or "single estate", that means that coffee has been sourced from one farm or estate. Some coffee labels will include these terms on their bags- often including other specifics like the name of the farm/estate and the specific lot # where the coffee was grown. Single-origin coffee provides information that is not only valuable to the producers and distributors, but increasingly growing more and more important to have amongst coffee drinkers.
Most single-origin blends are higher quality and are distinct to an area- the growing conditions and methods vary from country to country, so it's an added bonus that single-origin coffee is often more unique when compared to multi-origin blends.
Yet single-origin coffee means so much more. It is not only about deeper understanding of and education about coffee, but about offering a personal and intimate way to enjoy it too. Forget the newspaper, you'll be reading the bag your coffee came in.
Coffee is about quality. These days, high quality and specialty coffees- as well as different brewing methods- are becoming increasingly more and more in demand in coffee shops and roasteries around the world. Since the majority of single-origin crops are high quality, chances are high that you're drinking single-origin coffee more regularly than you realize (especially if you go out for coffee).
The coffee industry in 2017 is all about innovation and balance. It's about creating and experimenting. Without innovative movers and shakers in the coffee world, we wouldn't have cold or flash brew coffee and the pour-over device would never have been invented. Higher quality single-origin coffee offers baristas and roasters alike an opportunity to present the best product for their experimentations.
Not only are baristas and roasters experimenting, but growers are too.
With increasing demand for single-origin coffee, the supply end is becoming competitive as more and more coffee farmers worldwide are catching on to its popularity. Because of this, specialty coffee farmers are constantly trying to create ways to improve their production processes in order to keep up with the ever increasing demand that is starting to become evident around the world.
Aside from production and economics, experimentation in growing regions also takes the form of trying to improve cultivation by growing different varietals of coffee utilizing various methods (like growing coffee in the sun vs shade, for example) in order to truly see what produces the best product.
No doubt the modern day consumer has cause to be wary and particular about the products they buy. Single-origin coffee's transparency about where it comes from, who the growers are, and how that particular brand is cultivated and produced helps put you at ease by lending credence to its quality and integrity. Isn't that what you look for in a product?
It also goes without saying that you are single-handedly contributing to a coffee grower's livelihood without transatlantic travel each time you buy single-origin coffee beans. Did you want some warm fuzzies to go with your coffee?
If you're looking for high quality coffee that offers an educational yet personal touch to your morning and/or afternoon routine, consider buying single-origin coffee next time you run out.
Psssst! You know who also uses single-origin coffee? Your friends at Atlas Coffee Club! Subscribe today for a coffee world tour!

In the wild, biodiversity's power surpasses what experiments predict
In Animals, Marine Science, Research News, Science & Nature / 6 September 2017

Hundreds of experiments have shown biodiversity fosters healthier, more productive ecosystems. But many experts doubted whether these experiments would hold up in the real world. A Smithsonian and University of Michigan study published Wednesday in the journal Nature offers a decisive answer: Biodiversity's power in the wild does not match that predicted by experiments—it surpasses it.
"Having diversity is not just an aesthetic thing," said Emmett Duffy, lead author and marine ecologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Md. "It's really important for having ecosystems that work well—that are productive, that can recycle nutrients, absorb wastes and protect shorelines."
In the past, ecologists primarily tested biodiversity's impact through carefully controlled experiments: planting one or several species in plots while ensuring everything else remained the same, and observing which plots grew best. To uncover biodiversity's power outside experiments, biologists synthesized data from 67 observational studies of nature in the field, covering grasslands, forests, freshwater environments and marine environments. The studies spanned all seven continents and contained data from over 600,000 sampling locations around the world.

In every type of ecosystem the team analyzed, biodiversity went hand-in-hand with more flourishing ecosystems. More diverse systems had higher biomass, and the effect was stronger in natural studies than has been predicted from controlled experiments. This connection held true even after the team controlled for other environmental factors, like temperature and nutrients. In nature, biodiversity topped climate as the most powerful predictor of biomass production in roughly half the studies, and it topped nutrients in two-thirds of them.
"We now have strong evidence from models, controlled experiments, and studies of natural systems—all of which agree that ecosystems with a greater variety of life are more productive than those with less biological diversity," said Casey Godwin, a co-author and ecologist at the University of Michigan. "Therefore, if we want to maintain the productivity and functioning of Earth's ecosystems, conserving their biodiversity is critically important."

The scientists suspect there are a couple possible explanations for biodiversity's power in nature. The first is sheer numbers. Natural ecosystems already tend to have vastly more species than most experiments. With so much firepower, it is more likely that some combination of species best suited to an area's conditions will flourish. But even when the scientists ran the analysis under a hypothetical scenario—imagining what would happen if natural systems had fewer species, like the experiments did—natural systems still had an edge.
This second advantage may come from other types of diversity in nature beyond species. Differences in light, moisture or other variables—differences scientists try to screen out meticulously in experiments—exist all over natural communities. These differences could have given diverse communities more opportunities to thrive in the natural world, empowering the entire ecosystem to thrive more as well.

"Experiments have been incredibly valuable for showing us how and why biodiversity can influence basic ecological processes like the production of biomass, which is important to people because it produces the oxygen we breathe, makes the food we eat and purifies the water we drink," said co-author Brad Cardinale, an ecologist and University of Michigan professor. "But experiments are probably too small and too short to reveal the full importance of biodiversity in real ecosystems, where plants and animals have evolved and interacted with each other for thousands of years."

Biodiversity not only can make sites beautiful, but also can help boost their biomass and make them more productive. (Photo by Ross Whippo/Smithsonian Environmental Research Center)
Biodiversity's surprising power makes the mission to protect it about more than saving species for their own sakes, the scientists said. Preserving life in all its diversity is vital not only for conservationists, but also for the health of businesses and communities.
"The variety of life that we have on Earth is critically important to our future," Duffy said. "We can't just expect the world to come back when we destroy something and then take away the stressor….The variety of species are doing different things and interacting in ways that make the ecosystem work."

"About 40 percent of MRI procedures use a contrast agent to produce a signal that can detect cancers, diagnose aneurysms or arterial narrowing, or identify the area of a heart damaged by a heart attack," says Peter Caravan, PhD, of the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and co-director of the Institute for Innovation in Imaging at MGH, corresponding author of the Radiology paper. "All current FDA-approved MR contrast agents contain gadolinium, which in 2006 was associated with a devastating condition called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with impaired kidney function. We estimate that around 2 million contrast-enhanced scans are not performed in the U.S. every year because of the inability to use GBCAs in patients with poor renal function."
Caravan and his colleague Eric Gale, PhD, of the Martinos Center developed their manganese-based agent Mn-PyC3A based on two properties of the element: its ability to produce an MR signal comparable to that of GBCAs and the fact that that - in contrast to gadolinium, which is not naturally found in the human body - manganese is an essential element, and intake of small amounts is required for vital bodily functions. The body has natural mechanisms to process and excrete excess manganese, but any gadolinium that is released from GBCAs is likely to be retained in the body indefinitely.
Each animal underwent two MR imaging sessions, one with Mn-PyC3A and one with the GBCA. The scans were performed under identical conditions - the scanner used, the dosages and imaging protocols were the same as would be used for human patients - and the enhanced images of major arteries, kidneys, livers and specific muscles produced by both agents were comparable. As in the mouse study, Mn-PyC3A was quickly excreted though both kidney and liver clearance, and there was no evidence of the release of free manganese.
Gale explains, "While we did not test it here, we believe that having an alternative route of elimination through the liver will provide an efficient mechanism for elimination of Mn-PyC3A in patients with kidney disease and prevent any retention of the contrast agent in the body. Our next steps are to manufacture Mn-PyC3A on a larger scale and conduct additional preclinical safety studies before we can begin testing in human patients."
Additional co-authors of the Radiology paper are Hsiao-Ying Wey, PhD, Ian Ramsay, Yi-Fen Yen, PhD, and David Sosnovik, MD, all with the Martinos Center. The study was supported by National Center for Research Resources grants P41 RR14075 and S10 RR023385; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute grants K25 HL128899 and U54 HL119145; National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering grants R01 EB009062 and R21 EB022804); and NIH Director's office grant S10 OD010650.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Buffalo Zoo is looking for some help naming one of their newest additions.
The zoo's baby rhino is three weeks old as of Monday.
Four names have been selected by the zoo's rhino keepers, but the chosen name will be determined by the public. Here are the choices and what they mean, according to the zoo:
Mohan, which means "fascinating, charming and enchanting"
Howie, as a nod to Joe Hauser, Buffalo Zoo Assistant General Curator, who has been instrumental in moving the Buffalo Zoo rhino program forward, resulting in two successful births as a result of artificial insemination.
Raj, short for Rajesh, which means "king."
Ollie, as a nod to Ed Oliver, the Buffalo Bills first round draft pick.
Anyone who wishes to give their input on what the rhino should be named can pick their favorite in this survey.

New Delhi, 2 July-2014(PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee received the first copy of a coffee-table book 'First Citizen: Pranab Mukherjee in Rashtrapati Bhavan' on Wednesday.The book published by The Week magazine was released by Dr. Karan Singh in the presence of the President and Mr. Philip Mathew, Managing Editor, The Week.
President Pranab Mukherjee receiving the first copy of a coffee-table book titled "First Citizen: Pranab Mukherjee" from former Union Minister Karan Singh as Philip Mathew, Managing Editor, The Week claps at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said the book would be of great interest to the public, especially students of history. He said little is known about the Rashtrapati Bhavan outside its walls. The book's chronicles unknown yet important aspects of the Presidency.
The President said the Raisina Hill and buildings in and around Rashtrapati Bhavan has been the stage for much of his public life that spans over five decades.
The President recalled that he had been to Rashtrapati Bhavan several times, either to be sworn in as Minister in different Governments or eight occasions as Finance Minister to brief the President on the Budget before its presentation in Parliament, yet, it was only after he became a resident of the building that its importance as a seat of history and value as 'living heritage' fully struck him.

Air Force releases Light Attack Aircraft draft request for proposal
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs / Published August 06, 2018
ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) -- The Air Force shared a draft request for proposal for the Light Attack Aircraft with Sierra Nevada/Embraer and Textron Aviation following the conclusion of the second phase of the Light Attack Experiment.
This is the first step in working with industry towards the final RFP release that is expected in December 2018. Air Force acquisition officials indicated there are items that still need to be finalized prior to the release of the final RFP, but it is prudent to begin the dialogue with industry in order to adjust the RFP as appropriate in order to meet the timelines.
"We must develop the capacity to combat violent extremism at lower cost," said Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson. "Today's Air Force is smaller than the nation needs, and the Light Attack Aircraft offers an option to increase the Air Force capacity beyond what we now have in our inventory or budget."
Wilson said in the past year the Air Force has completed two flying experiments and drafted the Light Attack Aircraft request for proposal.
"We're where we're at today because both Congress and our industry partners understood the need to find ways to get capabilities to our warfighters faster," she said.
Pilots flew the Sierra Nevada/Embraer A-29 Super Tucano and the Textron Aviation AT-6B Wolverine this summer as a live-fly experiment to gather additional information about aircraft capabilities, as well as partner nation interoperability, prior to a potential light attack purchase.
"It is important to look at the light attack aircraft through the lens of allies and partners," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein. "An interoperable light attack aircraft that delivers common architecture and intelligence-sharing network capabilities will enhance our collective ability to compete, deter and win across all domains."


Using a wall sign that says, "Skid Steer Bucket" is a great way to ensure this particular type of bucket has a place for storage when it is not in use. Many companies have machines that use interchangeable buckets based on the needs of the job. When this one is not in use it is a good idea to take steps to ensure it is kept in a safe and secure location so it won't get lost, damaged or stolen. This simple wall sign is an excellent and very effective option.
When someone needs to use the skid steer bucket they will also be able to go right up to it and find it thanks to the large wall sign. This makes it faster and easier to get what is needed without wasting any time or effort, which is always a good thing in any facility. Putting up a wall sign like this takes just moments and you can enjoy the benefits for years to come.

President Trump's Infrastructure Plan Unveiled, And It's Light on Broadband
Submitted on February 16, 2018
You're reading the Benton Foundation's Weekly Round-up, a recap of the biggest (or most overlooked) telecommunications stories of the week. The round-up is delivered via e-mail each Friday.
Round-Up for the Week of February 12-16, 2018
McBeath
President Donald Trump's long-awaited infrastructure proposal was finally unveiled on February 12, 2018. The 10-year plan for "rebuilding infrastructure in America" calls for $200 billion of federal seed money that the Administration projects will generate $1.5 trillion by incentivizing states, localities, and private investors. "We will build gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways and waterways all across our land," the fact sheet begins, quoting President Trump's State of the Union address. "And we will do it with American heart and American hands and American grit."
Broadband, and closing our country's digital divide, is one area many were hoping would get specific federal spending. Just a couple of weeks ago, we reported how big a problem (in billions) it is to close the digital divide. Democrats on the House Communications subcommittee cited a 2017 Federal Communications Commission report that estimates a $40 billion investment is necessary to deploy fixed broadband service to 98 percent of the United States. Projected costs rise to $80 billion to reach 100 percent of the population. [Of note: the the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition released research this week finding that it will cost $13 billion to $19 billion just to connect all unserved community anchor institutions in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.]
So where does broadband deployment fit into President Trump's infrastructure plan? It gets squeezed in. Sorta. The proposal does not contain any funding specifically earmarked for improving high-speed internet access. Instead, the plan sets aside a pool of funding for numerous types of infrastructure projects, and broadband is one of the eligible categories. Broadband is peripherally included in two proposals: 1) The Transformative Projects Program and 2) The Rural Infrastructure Program.
Transformative Projects Program
The $20 billion Transformative Projects Program will:
Provide Federal aid for bold and innovative projects that have the potential to dramatically improve America's infrastructure.
Focus on projects that could have a significant positive impact on States, cities, and localities but may not attract private sector investment because of the project's unique characteristics.
Infrastructure sectors covered by this program could include, but would not be limited to, transportation, clean water, drinking water, energy, commercial space, and broadband.
Rural Infrastructure Program
The Rural Infrastructure Program would send $50 billion to states' governors to use for rural infrastructure, of which broadband is just one of many potential uses. This would "enable rural America to address its unique infrastructure challenges, rebuilding and modernizing bridges, roads, water and wastewater assets, water resources, waterways, power generation assets, and broadband," the proposal reads. Eighty percent of that $50 billion would be provided to the governor of each state, who would take the lead in deciding how the money would be spent in their state. The other 20 percent would pay for grants that could be used for certain project categories, "distributed as rural performance grants based on performance criteria, including increased investment in broadband," according to the proposal. This program also will provide a needed boost to tribal and territorial infrastructure.
The plan would also add rural broadband facilities to the list of eligible categories for Private Activity Bonds, which allow private projects to "benefit from the lower financing costs of tax-exempt municipal bonds." These bonds, which accounted for 27 percent of issuance in 2015, are sold for an array of projects including airports and affordable housing, as well as for nonprofit hospitals, nursing homes, and colleges.
At a meeting with state and local officials, President Trump said:
[T]he rural folks have been left out, including broadband internet access, which they don't have. And they want it, and the farmers want it. It will create thousands and thousands of jobs, and increase training for our great American workers, and it returns power to the state and local governments who know best what their people need…
[I]t's been very unfair what's happened with broadband in terms of the Midwest and in terms, really, of rural areas...But now it's going to be taken care of. We're spending a great deal of money on that. It's only fair. And they want it. They want it. They know how to use it. They want it. And we're going to get it.
Rural Rewards? Criticism over Public vs. Private Benefits
The New York Times noted that President Trump's plan "upends the criteria that have long been used to pick ambitious federal projects, putting little emphasis on how much an infrastructure proposal benefits the public and more on finding private investors and other outside sources of money." Adie Tomer, writing for Brookings, said, "The administration essentially created a system that could leave many metropolitan areas and entire states without federal infrastructure support.... Considering that state and local governments already do the bulk of public investing in infrastructure, this proposal must feel like the potential loss of a once trusted partner." The Rural Infrastructure Program would presumably benefit Trump-voting rural areas at the expense of more urban communities. Of the program, Tomer writes:
Functioning like a formula block grant to states based on their national share of rural population and lane miles, it would essentially give governors carte blanche to invest in their rural counties, or places of less than 50,000 people. Since Trump's earlier infrastructure proposal during his campaign got hammered for its inability to recognize that private financing may not be attracted to rural infrastructure projects, this feels like an outsized political response to placate U.S. Senators from rural states.
Senate Broadband Caucus Co-Chairwoman Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) recently noted that "governors would be more inclined to use cash for roads and bridges than broadband if infrastructure modes are lumped into one rural fund."
Removing Regulatory Red Tape: A Helping Hand for Wireless Deployment
President Trump's infrastructure plan also aims to expedite the permitting process for wireless operators to install small cells and other related network equipment to deliver 5G wireless services. Under the current law, wireless operators that want to deploy small cells and Wi-Fi attachments must comply with both the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) similar to how they obtain permits for large towers. The infrastructure plan reads:
Small cells and Wi-Fi attachments do not have an environmental footprint, nor do they disturb the environment or historic property. However, despite this lack of impact, small cells and Wi-Fi attachments typically go through the same level of analysis and review under NEPA and the NHPA, which needlessly adds both delays and costs to the process.
Wireless carriers would be allowed to install small cells and Wi-Fi attachments without going through environmental and historical preservation reviews. The Administration claims the proposed changes will eliminate unnecessary reviews without adversely affecting the environment. But that point is controversial. House Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) said the President "wants people to believe that environmental protections are preventing infrastructure projects from moving forward when in reality the obstacle is a serious lack of funding. The harmful environmental rollbacks included in the President's proposal will endanger human health and the environment and threaten our communities."
Reaction to the proposal proposal generally has split along partisan lines. Republican leaders from the House Commerce Committee issued a joint statement saying, "Please permit us to say that President Trump hit the nail on the head when constructing this plan to rebuild America's infrastructure."
Many Democratic lawmakers disagreed and would have liked to have seen more dedicated funding for broadband expansion. "With a comparatively paltry investment from the federal government over ten years—less than one-tenth of 1 percent of GDP—and no dedicated funding for rural broadband, the Administration's plan falls far short in resources, leaving many communities behind," said Rep Mark Pocan (D-WI).
As we noted earlier, Democrats had previously proposed a $40 billion broadband investment to ensure broadband coverage for 98 percent of the country. Ranking Member Pallone said:
President Trump's infrastructure proposal is woefully inadequate for addressing the urgent needs of modernizing our nation's infrastructure. The proposal does not include any new funding, and it forces the majority of costs onto cash-strapped state and local governments. President Trump spared no expense and required no offsets for his tax scam benefitting corporations and the wealthiest few, but he refuses to provide any new funding to repair our crumbling infrastructure.
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) called President Trump's infrastructure plan "one big monetary mirage," and said, "only robust federal investment will fix our bridges, repair our highways, rebuild Massachusetts's schools, and address our nation's water infrastructure, broadband, waterway, and public transportation needs."
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai focused his praise on the plan's deregulatory tone and specific actions on 5G.
Too often, regulatory barriers make it harder and more expensive to build out broadband than it needs to be—to the detriment of American consumers. That's why this plan is a welcome and strong call to action. I stand ready to work with the Administration and Congress to turn this plan into a reality as we continue to bridge the digital divide and extend 5G digital opportunity to all Americans.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr echoed his superior saying, "To win the global race to 5G, we must fundamentally reform our infrastructure deployment rules. It is great to see the Administration's infrastructure plan put a priority on efforts that would expedite deployment. We must ensure that our regulatory structures are 5G Ready."
USTelecom, a trade group representing smaller broadband providers many of which serve rural areas, was also less than enthusiastic about the proposal. Jonathan Spalter, CEO of USTelecom, said:
Closing the digital divide, particularly in our nation's most difficult to reach rural areas, requires dedicated and adequate capital – both financial and political. Broadband providers have invested more than $1.6 trillion over the past 20 years to connect our communities, but significant, direct support from the federal government is critical to bringing broadband's benefits to all.
The Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition (SHLB Coalition) said:
We welcome President Trump's commitment to improving America's infrastructure and its recognition that rural broadband is a critical component of that investment. Twenty-four million Americans still lack access to adequate broadband infrastructure, and 19 million of these people are in rural markets. Deploying broadband first to schools, libraries, health providers, and other anchor institutions and then to the surrounding community can be an effective strategy to fill this rural broadband gap. We look forward to working with the Trump Administration and Congress to build the digital roads necessary to upgrade America's education, health, and economy.
According to Tomer, this week marks what is likely only the beginning of six or more months of infrastructure debate in Washington:
First, multiple committees in the House and Senate will need to come to consensus around infrastructure policy. Since members haven't yet proposed any, that leaves significant work to even introduce and debate bills. Second, Congress will need to find the money to pay for any new programming, whether that's making cuts to current programs, raising taxes, borrowing more, or (more likely) some combination of all three. Keep in mind, Congress already has ongoing, tense debates around issues like raising the gas tax. Finally, Senate rules necessitate bipartisan support to pass any bill. If the Democratic Party doesn't like what's being proposed—whether for conceptual or political reasons—the whole process could stall.
Consensus does not seem likely. Republican leaders of the House Commerce Committee are touting their own broadband infrastructure bills. But Democratic lawmakers aren't fans. Forty billion dollars "is the funding necessary to ensure that nearly every American has broadband access," said Ranking Member Pallone. "The Republican proposals are far less ambitious and do not actually solve any of our country's most pressing broadband infrastructure problems."
During the House Commerce Committee's February 14 markup hearing, multiple Democrats harped on the lack of dedicated broadband money in the White House infrastructure proposal. "Will this committee take the lead?" asked Rep Peter Welch (D-VT). Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR), who was among lawmakers meeting with President Donald Trump on infrastructure, reassured Re.p Welch that he has "got this one." Chairman Walden added that he "made that very case" at the White House. "I was encouraged there is some money, at least allegedly put aside in the proposal," Chairman Walden said. "The president's willing to work with us to build upon that."

Experts split over human Hobbit remains

Early humans looked like Hobbits, Science Online, 06 Nov 2008
Indonesia may be teeming with Hobbits, Science Online, 29 Oct 2004
The newly discovered Hobbit-like humans were not intelligent enough to have made the tools found with them, says an expert in human evolution. And they behaved more like chimpanzees.
Professor Colin Groves of the Australian National University said so after studying pictures of the tools excavated with the newly-discovered hominid Homo floresiensis.
Groves said the find, announced by Australian and Indonesian scientists in the journal Nature yesterday, was "the discovery of the century".
But his main concern was the size and sophistication of the tools. He said as the tools were up to 12 centimetres long they would have been too big for the metre-high Hobbits to have made and used, as the researchers had suggested.
"It is very worrying that these tiny little things with their tiny little cranial capacities were making and hafting [attaching a handle to] large complex flaked stone artefacts," Groves told ABC Science Online.
He said the tools were comparable in size to the tools made by H. sapiens found in Australia and other parts of Southeast Asia.
"Little people you'd expect would make little tools," he said. "Something with a cranial capacity of 300 cubic centimetres I'd say would make the sort of ad hoc tools that chimpanzees do."
He said the Hobbits also had other features that suggested they would have behaved more like chimpanzees than humans.
He said the earhole, palate, pelvis, tibia and femur of the Hobbit were more similar to another type of early human, Australopithecus, than Homo.
Where did Hobbits come from?
Groves also challenged the idea that H. floresiensis was a dwarf descendent of H. erectus, as suggested by the Australian-Indonesian team.
He said the brain size of H. floresiensis was too small. Instead he said it was probably descended from an ancestor somewhere between Australopithecus and Homo.
"This thing is more primitive than H. ergaster [the common ancestor of H. sapiens and H. erectus who lived in Africa around two million years ago] and possibly more primitive than H. habilis."
Leader of the team that made the Hobbit discovery, Associate Professor Michael Morwood, from the University of New England, said he also first thought the sophisticated tools had been made by modern humans.
"I just thought they're just so sophisticated; we've got blade technology, we've got a range of flaking techniques. This must be modern humans," he told ABC Science Online.
But he said there was no evidence of modern humans throughout the Hobbit site, dating from 95,000 to 13,000 years ago.
"The earliest evidence we've got for modern humans at that site is 11,000 and there is absolutely no evidence for overlap between the two species."
It's the association between the tools, the Hobbits and evidence for hunting the Stegodon pygmy elephant that formed his main argument for why the Hobbits made the tools.
"Some of the stone artefacts were literally inside the jaws and inside the skulls of Stegodon that were being butchered," he said.
Morwood also said the tools found with the Hobbits were more complex than most Australian and Southeast Asia stone artefacts.
He said modern humans didn't appear in the deposits until much later, around the time of a major volcanic eruption 12,000 years ago. At that time evidence of Stegodon disappeared and the tools became more like Australian stone artefacts, he said.
"So unless you've got biased preconceptions, clearly H. floresiensis is associated with this very distinctive Pleistocene stone artefacts," Morwood said.
But Groves was not convinced by the argument that Hobbits made the tools just because no remains of modern humans were found.
"There's all sorts of reasons why you don't find things," he said. H. sapiens could have lived and have been buried elsewhere.
He suggested that the tools may have been made by H. sapiens who could well have been around in Flores at the time, en route to Australia, where they have been for at least 50,000 years. H. sapiens could have made the tools and hunted Stegodons and even Hobbits themselves, he said.
Morwood said it was the team's top priority next year to start looking at other sites on Flores.

via EVERYTHING Bloggers Need To Know About In-Post SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) — Beautiful, Creative, Inspiring . . . Life.
November 2017 will forever be a pivotal date in the story of my life. This month I decided to stop making excuses and a bucket list and start checking old items off said list. I have promised myself since I was a small boy that some day I would be a writer. In the second grade, writing with colored markers and crayons on three-lined paper, I began to tell my stories. That love of storytelling has since grown inside me, but this is the first time I have ventured out and decided to share my stories with the world.
This month I put my first novel out for self-publication. Getting Home is the culmination of fifteen years of hard work. It was the way I worked through the loss of my best friend and then the death of my soulmate. It was the means I used to forgive myself for past mistakes. It provided me with validation that I was not the monster I was rumored to be. It was my way to heal and forgive. It was my voyage to peace, to catharsis.
It was a rainy August afternoon when pen first met paper. The words of the prologue came first. Writing a novel was my dream, but I did not have a story waiting to get out. I only knew that I wanted to write. I immersed myself in the moment I was experiencing: the rain outside, the sound of birds, the sound from the aquarium next to me. The prologue is almost entirely my experience on that August afternoon. From that simple opening poured the tale that I hope all of you will read. Tom Jacobs was born. He was as real as the pen in my hand. The sky was not fully dark that evening when I knew what path Tom Jacobs would take and how the journey would ultimately end.
With the flood of details that washed in upon me, it should have been a simple task to sit down and write every word. It would be an exceptional blog post if that were true, and many of you would be contacting me wanted to know the secret of writing a novel in one sitting. As I approached each part of Tom's life, I was forced to look deep inside myself and discern what in me was the catalyst that spawned what we be Tom's journey. That process and the subsequent chapters took years to complete.
Part of me feels like I cannot take credit for being the scribe of this narrative. Yes, I did put each word down on paper and those words seeped directly from my mind. I wrote the prologue and gave Tom his name, but from that moment on it was no longer my words. Tom became a real person relating his experiences and honoring me with the opportunity to put his journey in written form.
After fifteen years, Tom and all the other characters in Getting Home are old friends and family. I know their pasts, their likes and dislikes, and for some, I know how their stories end. I am not sure if I will ever put more of their words on paper, but I am happy to have known them.


ABSTRACT Strengthening properties of the black cotton soil studied by number of literature and have given number of conclusions ,as BC soil is famous for its problematic nature as it is clayey and have many problems regarding strength and stability. Inn this investigation ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and the alkali activated solution called geo-polymer are used to stabilize Black cotton soil. Blast furnace slag is a by-product obtained during the steel manufacturing in thee blast furnace and geo-polymer is an alkali activated solution prepared by combining sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with the sodium silicate solution(Na2SiO3). Geopolymer is an inorganic polymeric binding material and has cementiceous property. The preparing off Geo-polymer involves Geo-polymerization reactions. It goes under chemical reactions between solid alumino-silicates oxides and alkali metals silicates solutions under the highly alkaline condition yielding to amorphous to semi-crystalline and three-dimensional polymers structures, which has Si-O-Al bonding. Black cotton soil is first treated with GGBS and then with Geo-polymer and lastly with GGBS based Geo-polymer and the required tests has been conducted too know the different soil properties. By adding different percentages off GGBS to the Black cotton soil strength increased up to 20%. By adding Geo-polymer too black cotton soil the strength decreases after curing strength of the soil increases as the geo-polymer dosage increases. By adding of the GGBS based Geo-polymer the strength decreases at immediate testing except for 16% and 20% of Geo-polymer dosage. with curing strength increases to a very much higher value as compare with treating only with GGBS and Geo-polymer dosage. This is due to increases in thee alumina silicate sources which is very much necessary aspect for polymeriization reaction.

Media Personality Denrele Edun who recently revealed the reasons why he didn't get to marry his ex-girlfriend, Yvonne, has taken to social media to talk about his relationship with popular blogger, Linda Ikeji.
The popular OAP shared an old photo of himself and the blogger and disclosed how Linda always helped him with cash anytime he goes broke, way back in the University.
He added that Linda Ikeji is one of the most outstanding personalities that have affected him in life.
"#FlashbackFriday to 2nd Semester Exams with @officiallindaikeji in Unilag where we had just cremated an English Major course. This was in 2002. But the real reason I'm posting this picture (Linda actually wanted it in Sepia mode even though I wanted it in colour) is to hail my Day1! LINDA IKEJI is still one of the most exquisitely amazing women I have had the utmost blessing of knowing!


Car Log is a small app to log and keep track of the fuel consumption of the personal "car fleet".
It allows the tracking of multiple cars and is able to provide statistics about the mileage, average fuel-consumption and total fuel-consumption.
Depending on the user's selection, the app will present this data in numerical form or through pie-, bar- and line-charts.
This app does not require any special permissions to run. Should this change in future versions, a detailed explanation about why and how will be provided here.
Please see http://www.dimensionv.de/CarLog for more information.
If you like to try the app first, there's also a free (ad-supported) version of this app available on Google Play, called "CarLog Free". As of now, it has the same functionality as the paid version.
Launched Aug 22, 2013 (over 5 years ago).
• FIX: Time for fuel-entries was of by DST-Offset.
• FIX: Time was always shown in local format, even when system was configured to show time in 24-hour-format.
• NEW: Support for different tire-sets. Select between "All Weather", "Winter" or "Summer" in Car-Details (default suggestion), and per each fuel-entry for stats.
• NEW: Each fuel-entry may now receive a comment, e.g. for explaining certain circumstances or occurrences between refueling.


I found this amazing blog via another new favorite Geraniums and Potatoes. I am so inspired by these early 20th century French pattern packets.The colors and patterns get me out of my grumpy mood and make me feel recharged and inspired.

awesome site! i'm glad you posted about it. thanks!


PUBG Mobile is one of the great games in the Android world, but not all the equipment can handle the "weight" of the game. That's why PUBG Mobile Lite has become a reality.
PUBG Mobile quickly gained fame by giving us one of the most complete games in the world for smartphones. For both iOS and Android, PUBG Mobile is a Battle Royal game that offers us good entertainment for good weather.
I'm a lover of this game. The graphics are fantastic, the game is online and playing with friends is simply flawless. If a few years ago you had to pick up a Nintendo Wii to have fun with your friends, now all you need is an Android or iOS smartphone.
As far as the Android world goes, things could be better. The game is cumbersome and quite complete. This means that the smartphones with less specifications will have problems in having a fluid experience. There is nothing worse than playing a PUBG Mobile with a smartphone always crashing.
PUBG Mobile Lite has arrived to resolve the issue. The game is basically the same, however, with less detailed graphics and much more prepared for Android smartphones without great specifications.
I have already had the opportunity to test the game in one of the mid-range I have here and I am surprised by the positive. Of course it does not give us such good graphics, however, you have a gameplay like a top of the range.
Please note that so far the game is only compatible with some mid-range / low-end device.
You can download PUBG Mobile Lite from the Google Play Store.
PUBG Mobile gets update and everything changes!

I remember very well that call from the bride who told me "Hi Pasquale, what do you think about making the photo shoot in Morocco !!!
"You cannot imagine my joy, Morocco, a magical place wrapped in tractions, perfumes, color. A place where modernity merges with the past, creating a unique country of its kind.
The spouses chose a fantastic city MARRAKECH, in the magical Riad Chamali, located in the Medina of the city.
Although it was December the day, the climate was really hot and arid, the streets crowded with people and merchants who, with their colors and scents make the Medina a unique place in the world.
We arrived at the place a few days before the bride and groom, to view the places, and make a really special photo shoot.
We knew well that it was not a classic wedding, made up of so many guests and friends, so we studied the place to perfection, to create simple but visually striking shots.
The bride and groom arrived a few days later and together we started touring the city, in a fun and friendly atmosphere, with smiles, spicy chicken and local beer.
On the day of the photo shoot me and my life partner, Daniela, started photographing the bride and groom in the Chamali riad, located in the center of Marrakech. I chose to start in the hottest hours of the day because I wanted to take my pictures without using any flash.
Armed only with my Nikon d5, I began a dynamic and fun-filled service.
A special thanks go to our local guide, who accompanied us to truly magical places such as the ATLAS MOUNTAINS, a magical place where a desert merges, mixed with the snow that is the backdrop to the highest peaks.
The second member of the service chose to perform it in the city center, among the alleys full of merchants, and curious people approached our bride.
There have been 5 truly unique days that I will carry forever in my heart.
Fantastic days together with our spouses in their most beautiful day, crowning the dream of creating the photographic service in Morocco.
This destination wedding becomes part of our tour around the world, between different cultures and traditions.


I have always said that the major reason to avoid geo-location technology such as Foursquare is that it advertises the fact that your house is probably empty and ripe for a visit from the local burglar.
Now some crafty chap has created this handy tool to drive this point home: http://pleaserobme.com/ This online tool is both amusing and fear inducing at the same time. I expect to see this website in the Daily Mail tomorrow.

An Ennis man was arrested Friday for evading arrest following an alleged attempt to take two 30-packs of alcohol from HEB.
Det. Sgt. Mike Hopson said at 9 a.m. Patrol Sgt. Fred Pontley and Officer Jason York were dispatched to the business in reference to a theft. The store manager told police the suspect attempted to push a shopping cart with the stolen merchandise past the cash registers and out the door without paying. The manager told the man to stop, at which point the suspect fled out of the store leaving the cases of beer behind and continued running on foot.
Hopson said a description of the suspect was obtained and the man was located nearby.
Officers instructed the man to stop but he failed to comply and continued running on foot. Hopson said police told the man to stop a second time but he again continued to flee.
The suspect was eventually stopped in the 100 block of W. Milam St. after a short foot chase.
The man was taken into custody and transported to Ennis police department without further incident.
L.C. Sheffield, 49, of Ennis was charged with theft and evading arrest.


New forms of media haven't got rid of paper, and we've become fond of it. ISO Produzioni boasts a team of experts for whom the taste for layouts, the charm of final proofs and the scent of ink still have a fundamental value in company communications.
Whether you're dealing with press campaigns or posters, a catalogue or a commemorative book, in an age where digital technology can afford to be faster and more effective rather than well-finished, pay the utmost attention to paper.
