Researchers at the piracy protection company Imperva have discovered a security vulnerability in the Google Photo web version.
According to the world of technology, the vulnerability allows hackers to track the user's log of data based on the data attached to images, and explained that the hackers and third-party applications can access the site information through the basic principles used in the history of images, depending on the time and place while keeping on the cloud platform For "Google".
The attack is done by deceiving the user by opening a link to a malicious Web site at the same time as he or she logs in to Google Images, often by sending an email or by filtering malware.
The software instantly interacts with the victim's visual content and access to the details of the data attached to the images, enabling the attacker to access the information he wants through analysis and using the search features available in the image-saving service.
Google has made some updates to fill this gap.

GOP Senator: I will step in to get Biden briefings
Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma said President-elect Joe Biden needs intelligence briefings, regardless of who wins the election. Lankford told KRMG Radio in Tulsa he will step in and make sure it happens, if necessary. (Nov. 12)
JAMES LANKFORD: There's nothing wrong with Vise President Biden getting the briefings to be able to prepare himself and so that he can be ready. The president's already getting those. There's nothing wrong with that former Vise President getting those. Kamala Harris is on the Intelligence Committee. She has all the clearances that she needs to be able to do that.
There is no loss from him getting the briefings and to be able to do that. And if that's not occurring by Friday, I will step in as well and to be able to push and to say, this needs to occur. So that regardless of the outcome of the election, whichever way that it goes, people can be ready for that actual task.
I can assure you there will be a peaceful transition of power in the United States. I don't hear things, other than some of the National media circles that are constantly spinning that Trump won't relent, Trump won't relent. When I talk to his team and I talk to the folks around him, they say that's absolutely absurd. We just want to know all the votes have been counted, that these are legal votes. It is within our right to be able to do that and we're going to do that.
A Libyan political dialogue arranged by the United Nations has made progress towards agreeing a new transitional government to oversee the run-up to elections in December, the U.N. said on Saturday. Acting U.N. Libya envoy Stephanie Williams said the agreement represented the "best possible compromise" on the issue and could lead to the selection of a transitional government "in several weeks". Libya has been split since 2014 between rival factions in Tripoli, in the west, and Benghazi in the east.

British cathedral turned into vaccination center
The medieval building of Lichfield Cathedral saw a large group of people, mostly over 80's, passing through its doors on Friday (January 15) to receive the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine. The Archbishop of Canterbury and local Member of Parliament Michael Fabricant praised the cathedral's transformation to help battle the coronavirus pandemic on social media, with Fabricant calling it "the UK's most glamorous vaccination center." The government is aiming to vaccinate those in the four highest risk tiers - the elderly, clinically vulnerable and frontline health and social care workers - by February 15, something that would require more than 2 million vaccinations a week. Britain recorded 55,761 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, as the number of infections rises despite hopes that lockdowns across the country could start to help push rates down.

Capps introduces bill to help war veterans without records
by SynerconAvailability of information, Integrity of information, Recordkeeping rights, Vital records
Last Wednesday, Capps — who represents more than 50,000 veterans in her 24th District — introduced a bill called the Veterans' Record Reconstruction Act that would streamline the process by which servicemen and servicewomen prove their eligibility for benefits or decorations. While unofficial sources of information like photographs, letters, and eyewitness accounts have been used on a case-by-case basis to help reconstruct veterans' files destroyed in the fire, explained Capps spokesperson Chris Meagher, there are no actual guidelines to follow. The bill, Meagher said, would require the Department of Defense to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and come up with rules and criteria for considering these unofficial sources and, in more general terms, make the whole process easier.

Winston Jarrett (born 14 September 1940) is a Jamaican reggae singer who was part of Alton Ellis's group The Flames in the 1960s before recording with The Righteous Flames and as a solo artist.

Biography
Born in 1940 in Lime Tree Gardens, Saint Ann Parish, Jarrett grew up in the Jones Town area of Kingston after moving there with his mother at the age of five. There, he was taught to play guitar by Jimmy Cliff and Alton Ellis. Jarrett's introduction to the music industry was as a member of Alton Ellis's backing band The Flames in the early 1960s, formed when Ellis's original singing partner Eddie Perkins emigrated to the US, singing on hits such as "Dancecrasher", "Cry Tough", "Rocksteady" and "Girl I've Got a Date". While with Ellis he wrote songs such as "Sunday Coming" and "True Born African". In 1967, Jarrett parted ways with the UK-bound Ellis and with fellow Flame Edgar "Egga" Gardner formed The Righteous Flames with Junior Green, and the trio recorded for Arthur "Duke" Reid's Treasure Isle label and then for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label. In 1969 they also recorded for Lee "Scratch" Perry ("Zion I Love You"). In the 1970s, they were generally billed as 'Winston Jarrett and the Righteous Flames'. Among the members of The Righteous Flames was Danny Clarke, who left to form The Meditations in 1974.

In the 1970s, tired of recording for others without receiving adequate payment, Jarrett self-produced much of his output, releasing it on his own Attra, Human Rights and Humble labels. Jarrett recorded as a solo artist in the late 1970s and 1980s, releasing the Wise Man album in 1979 and Rocking Vibration in 1984. He re-formed the Flames, releasing the album Jonestown in the late 1980s, and in the early 1990s recorded a tribute album to Bob Marley, also featuring Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.

Work starts on innovative affordable housing scheme that's funding St George's new community hub in Tilehurst
Construction started this week on an innovative development that will transform a derelict church hall and brownfield site within the grounds of St George's multi-ethnic church in St George's Road, Tilehurst, into an urgently-needed new community centre and 12 affordable rental homes for local people.
Leading social housing provider Stonewater is developing the 12 new one- and two-bedroom affordable rent homes on 8,000 sq ft of surplus land which it acquired from the church. The money from the sale is helping to fund St George's new community centre, a single-storey church extension which will replace the old church hall.
Stonewater, which is financing the housing development, is one of the largest social and affordable housing providers in the Reading area where it manages around 560 homes. Reading Borough Council has provided an additional £752,065 grant for the project in order to deliver a housing scheme which is 100% for affordable rent. The new community hall has been financed by the Church.
"We are delighted to be involved in this innovative development at St George's which will not only bring much-needed affordable homes in a prime residential location, but new purpose-built community facilities for Tilehurst residents," says Stonewater Development Manager Lisa Wadhams. "With the average rent in the district now averaging £950 a month – which is more than a third (37%) of the typical local wage* – the need for affordable homes in the area is very real. This scheme is an excellent example of how we can work together with local authorities to identify under-used sites in the community which can be revitalised with brand new affordable housing. I can't wait to see these new homes completed in January next year."
Stonewater's L-shaped, two-storey housing development will create a mix of four one-bedroom apartments, six two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom houses - all for affordable rent. The anticipated weekly rent levels for the new accommodation are likely to be set between £147 for a one-bedroom apartment, and £193 for a one-bedroom house. The development includes ample car and cycle parking provision and landscaped amenity space.
Cllr John Ennis, Reading's Lead Councillor for Housing, says: "This is an excellent example of the Council working in partnership with a social housing provider to supply new affordable homes, with the use of Right to Buy receipts.
"There is a desperate shortage of affordable homes in Reading so this innovative scheme is a very welcome development which will also benefit local residents with the provision of a new community centre."
The Reverend Adam Carlill, St George's Church, says: "I am delighted that St George's is able to contribute to this much-needed housing development as part of our mission to the communities of West Reading. We want to help foster quality human relationships through compassionate, courageous and contemplative living."
The new Stonewater homes will be allocated through Reading Borough Council's Choice Based Lettings system which prioritises those that already have a connection to the local borough area.
Stonewater is working with Reading Borough Council, St George's Church Parish Council and family-owned firm Francis Construction to deliver the scheme which has been designed by Reading-based architects The Harris Partnership.

Argentina and France clash today in the World Cup final
Mbappe will not be able to play in the Champions League
The final of the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar is being contested between Argentina and France today. After defeating Morocco and defeating France and Croatia, Argentina secured a place in the World Cup finals. The World Cup final between Argentina and France is seen as an interesting match.Argentina has previously won the World Cup twice in 1978 and 1986. Argentina returned home after reaching the final in 1930, 1990 and 2014. Having won the title twice, Argentina has played in five World Cup finals.
Argentina, who has reached the final for the sixth time, wants to write his name in world football by lifting the World Cup title under the leadership of captain Lionel Messi. Argentina is under pressure to win this World Cup even though it has not been decided whether Messi will play in the next World Cup due to his age. But for the title, Argentina will have to defeat former champions France.
Argentina and France
After defeating Morocco by 2-0 in the final, France is on the verge of winning the World Cup title for the second time in a row.
France, who won the World Cup in 1998 and 2018, lost to Italy in the 2006 World Cup final. France defeated Argentina and made a dream of making a record of consecutive World Cup titles.
The World Cup soccer final between Argentina and France will be played at Lucille Stadium on Sunday night at 8:45 p.m.
In the competition for the third place, Croatia won the title by defeating Morocco 2-1.
Those consecutive defeats are a deep stain on a country that has won the World Cup multiple times, comparable to Germany and second only to Brazil (five triumphs).

Kazakhstan: Allied with Muslim bloc, but great friend of Israel
Commemorating 25 years of diplomatic relations, Brodsky said Kazakhstan is one of Israel's major friends.

ASTANA – Mutual exchange of technologies, flourishing business connections and warm bilateral diplomatic relations are the main characteristics of Israel and Kazakhstan, said Michael Brodsky, the Israeli ambassador to Kazakhstan.
Commemorating 25 years of diplomatic relations, Brodsky said Kazakhstan is one of Israel's major friends. In many fields, mainly the economic one, Kazakhstan has a great interest in Israel.
Last December, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Kazakhstan. During the visit, which was described as positive by both sides, the parties held a joint business forum, which included dozens of participants.
"This country thinks through the economic perspective," said Brodsky.
"And despite the fact that it is mostly Muslim, it has no affect on our bilateral relations.
"They want us to prosper, and Israel is the role model for them," he added. "They want to learn from us.
All this 'make the wilderness bloom' myth is very appealing to them.
Astana is a great example of that – it started off as a vision of [Kazakhstan] president [Nursultan] Nazarbayev and became a reality, just like the State of Israel."
Brodsky mentioned three main fields in which Israel and Kazakhstan share information and technology: Agriculture, health and security.
"In these fields we have a lot to offer to Kazakhstan," he said. "They see them as 'must fields,' meaning that cooperating with us on them is not luxury, and it won't be affected by situation changes.
"There are many Israeli companies that operate here, and there is always talk on how to expand it," he added.
There are some 10,000 Jews living in Kazakhstan. The vast majority came from the western part of the USSR or eastern Europe in the past century. However, Farsi-speaking Jews lived in the southern areas of the country and along the Silk Road trading route for thousands of years.
Brodsky noted that Kazakhstan is known for being very welcoming for Jews. He said there is no antisemitism in the republic.
"There is a small Jewish community, and it is spread out in several cities," he said. "The Jewish life here is flourishing. There was never antisemitism in Kazakhstan. The Kazakh people is known to be tolerant and has a great attitude to all nations.
"The Jews also remember the special treatment they received when they got here during World War II, when they fled from eastern Europe," he added. "Many Jews arrived here during that period."
Despite that, Brodsky said that when it comes to the United Nations and its agencies, Kazakhstan is still committed to the larger Muslim bloc.
"When it comes to the bilateral relations, we have very warm connections and they are openly proud of it. But it is clear that they are obligated to the Muslim world," Brodsky said. "We can see it in their [UN] votes. They voted against us not once, but we speak about it openly.
We know that they have other considerations and we are not letting it damage our great relations," he said.

Q: Cannot assign custom projection to raster file in QGIS I have a LiDAR data tile (raster file in GeoTIFF format) that is currently in WGS 84 (lat/long) geographic coordinate system. However, the data was collected in New Arc 1950 / UTM Zone 36 South projection / Clarke 1880 spheroid. This system does not exist in QGIS, but I tried adding it as a custom CRS in QGIS 3.0.0 using the proj4 reference:
+proj=utm +zone=36 +south +a=6378249.145 +b=6356514.966398753 +towgs84=-143,-90,-294,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs.

I found the proj4 reference here: https://epsg.io/20936
When I then use the 'Assign Projection' tool, setting the desired CRS as the custom one I just created, I get the following error:

Die Fenske-Gleichung dient zur Abschätzung der Anzahl der minimal notwendigen theoretischen Böden bei der Rektifikation eines binären chemischen Stoffgemischs unter der Bedingung des vollständigen Rücklaufs. Die Kolonne wird dabei ohne Zulauf und ohne Entnahme von Kopf- und Sumpfprodukt betrieben. Die berechnete Zahl ist daher stets niedriger als die Anzahl der tatsächlich benötigen Böden bei Trennkolonnen im Produktionsbetrieb.

Bestimmungsgleichung

In der Fenske-Gleichung werden die Zusammensetzungen des Kopf- und des Sumpfprodukts in Beziehung gesetzt. Der Proportionalitätsfaktor ist dabei die wiederholt (auf den theoretischen Böden) ausgeführte Verdampfung und Kondensation, die über die relative Flüchtigkeit beschrieben wird. Die unterschiedliche Flüchtigkeit der Komponenten sorgt dafür, dass sich der Leichtsieder im Dampf und der Schwersieder in der Flüssigkeit anreichert. Die Anzahl der Böden ist dabei der Exponent der relativen Flüchtigkeit:

mit

 = Leichtsieder
 = Schwersieder
 = Stoffmengenanteil (Molenbruch)
 = Relative Flüchtigkeit des Leichtsieders im Verhältnis zum Schwersieder bei der Zusammensetzung des Zulaufs
 = Mindestanzahl Böden

Diese Gleichung lässt sich umstellen, so dass direkt die theoretische Anzahl Böden bestimmt werden kann:

Die relative Flüchtigkeit ist jedoch nicht über die gesamte Trennkolonne konstant, da sie sowohl von der Zusammensetzung des Gemischs abhängt, als auch temperatur- und druckabhängig ist; daher erfolgt zumeist eine Näherungsrechnung mittels des geometrischen Mittels der relativen Flüchtigkeiten der Komponenten in Kopf und Sumpf der Kolonne:

Beispielrechnung
Mit den willkürlich festgelegten Werten

 (hier als konstant angenommen)

folgt

Die Anzahl der berechneten theoretischen Böden steigt mit niedrigerer relativer Flüchtigkeit und mit höheren Reinheitsgraden für den Leichtsieder im Kopf und für den Schwersieder im Sumpf der Kolonne.

Los Haitises, the place where time stopped!!!!
One of the 10 most important carcass areas in the world, with caves of unique pictographs and petroglyphs!
We start the day with the pick-up at your hotels to set course by road to Montaña Redonda. Here we board a safari truck to make the climb, once at the top you will have a small breakfast to then enjoy this hill with more than 1,000 feet high, a natural place that will give us the opportunity to observe one of the more spectacular panoramic views of the Bay of Samaná and the two lagoons such as Laguna Redonda and Laguna Limón.
They will be able to make some amazing pictures !!!
Once we got off the hill in the safari truck, we continued by bus to our pier in las cañitas, where we boarded our boat to get into the largest mangrove forest in America.
Los Haitises National Park contains one of the largest springs of underground water, forming a mixture of fresh and salt water where different species of fish, crabs, prawns and a long etc … of protected species live.
Its lush vegetation, still intact as if time had stopped, will take us on a short walk through the caves where the Pirates of the Caribbean hid their treasures, and that today are protected areas.
Once visited the area of caves, mangroves with red-legged crabs, the old railway line and its mogotes in the bay of San Lorenzo, we enter the area that will take us to one of the most paradisiacal places in the Republic. Dominican Republic and that very few tourists can get to visit.
Once we enjoyed this natural ecosystem, we started to leave the area of the Los Haitises national park towards the Las Cañitas jetty. From there by road we make the return to their hotels to end this day.
Children until 5 will travel in their parents lap, being their responsability during the day.
Maximum reservation one child per adult. Documentation of the child can be required by staff.
Elderly people or people with mobility problems must take somebody to look after them during the day.


Our current project is to purchase a piece of land in Gilgil in order to build the orphanage there. We have already identified the land and spoke to the owner. To purchase, we need 20 million Kenyan shillings. To support this project, please click here to donate.
Loving hands safe house is a rescue center for young vulnerable children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our mission is to enhance children protection and give them quality care. The children's parents, family members or guardians are either missing, poor, ailing or died of Aids. And with no social security net in Kenya, these children are on their own thus exposing them to neglect, poor health, forced labor, gang assault, crime, hard drugs, hunger, sexual and emotional abuse, arrests, harsh weather conditions, mental anguish and hopelessness.

Tags: animal cruelty, externalized costs, meatonomics, Willingness to Pay
"Not everything that counts," said Einstein, "can be counted." But in the study of animal cruelty and its effects, surprisingly, now there is something important that we can count: the financial costs that cruelty imposes on society. That is to say, besides the heavy physical and emotional toll that the day-to-day abuse of farmed animals causes the animals themselves, these practices impose significant, measurable economic costs on people as well.
We can calculate these costs using what economists call "willingness to pay." Add up what everyone in the United States is willing to pay to end cruelty to farmed animals, and that's the total cost that cruelty imposes on American society. An economist would call this an "externalized" cost of animal cruelty. Externalized costs are expenses of production that producers impose on society rather than paying. For example, if I dump my garbage in the local park at midnight instead of putting it in a trash can at the curb, I've externalized my garbage collection costs on society instead of internalizing them.
There are a variety of ways to estimate cruelty's costs, but there's one way of doing it that makes particular sense. In their recent book Compassion by the Pound, economists Jayson Lusk and F. Bailey Norwood calculate the externalized costs imposed on compassionate consumers by cruel factory farming practices.[1] Lusk and Norwood use an interesting technique for measuring cruelty's costs: they conduct live auctions with real people who used real money to bid on alleviating particularly cruel factory farming practices for a particular group of animals. In their study, people actually paid an average of $57 in hard dollars per person to move 1,000 laying hens from battery cages to free-range systems, and they paid $23 per person to move 1,000 sows and their offspring from gestation crates to shelter-pasture systems. Extrapolating from these results, Lusk and Norwood estimate that people would actually pay an average of $342 and $345 per person, respectively, to implement these welfare changes on a national basis.
Using these figures as a base, we can extrapolate further to estimate how much Americans would pay to end three more factory practices that are particularly cruel: zero grazing for dairy cows, rapid growth and hyperconfinement for broiler chickens, and overstocking and inhumane slaughter of farmed fish. Take $343.31, the midpoint of the range between the two figures Norwood and Lusk estimated people would pay to improve hen's and pig's lives, and apply it to all the hypothetical changes. The total that this exercise suggests each American would pay, on average, to make all five of these changes is $1,717.27. Adjusting this figure for inflation, multiplying by the number of US adults, then amortizing the total over twenty years (the standard IRS depreciation period for farm buildings) yields a total of roughly $20.7 billion yearly that farm animal cruelty imposes on Americans in externalized costs.
While this cruelty number might seem high, it is actually on the low side. For starters, the estimate of $20.7 billion yearly covers only five inhumane practices. It doesn't include numerous others, like raising veal calves in crates, force-feeding ducks to produce foie gras, castrating pigs and cattle without anesthetic, and killing male chicks by starvation, suffocation, or grinding. Adding these and other practices to the calculation might double or triple the total.
This number also doesn't cover the financial costs to the animals themselves. Economists don't recognize non-human costs, but perhaps they should. After all, it's not hard to measure animals' willingness to pay for better living conditions, and doing so would give us an understanding of cruelty's economic costs to the animals themselves. In one study, for example, researchers measured pigs' willingness to pay for food and companionship by having them press a nose-plate to either eat or hang out with friends (they chose food by a factor of two to one).[2]
Would Americans really pay almost $2,000 each to end factory farming's cruelest practices? Moreover, could we? Of course, not everyone could or would. But this figure is just an average, and while some would pay less (or nothing), some would pay much, much more.
Assuming that $20.7 billion is a reasonable estimate of the cost of cruelty, how does knowing this number help us? In other words, what is it good for? One way this number is useful is to counter arguments about the value of the meat and dairy industries to society – particularly when the cruelty figure is added to the other $394 billion in externalized costs of animal food production. It turns out that for every $1 of animal food sold at retail, the industry imposes almost $2 in externalized costs on society. Perhaps the animal food sector is not as good for the American economy as producers would have us believe.
Another way this figure is useful is to put cruelty's true costs in perspective. $20.7 billion is enough to run Iceland's government for four years. It's eight times the combined annual profits of Tyson and Cargill, two of the world's biggest animal food producers. In short, it's a massive number, and while it can't adequately convey the suffering that billions of farmed animals endure each year, it does help us understand – and measure – how this suffering affects people.

24 - 25 April 20178 Prague, Czech Republic
View the conference photo gallery
The 13th Global Slag Conference and Exhibition has taken place in Prague, with 120 delegates in attendance from 30 different countries. The 14th Global Slag Conference will take place on 3 - 4 April 2019 in Aachen, Germany.
Adam Smith of Kallanish Commodities started the conference by speaking about trends in the global steel industry. Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminium imports caused a spike in steel prices in North America at the start of 2018, but these have fallen back after most countries were given waivers from the tariffs. However, an ongoing Trump-led crusade on Chinese intellectual property 'acquisitions' is still dampening market sentiment. The EU exemption from the tariffs ends on 1 May 2018, and European steel association Eurofer fears that around 13Mt of US-bound global steel exports may soon be diverted to Europe instead. The EU is now considering its own external tariffs as well. Two major mergers are in the pipeline, between Tata Steel Europe and thyssenkrupp, as well as the ArcellorMittal takeover of Itailian producer Ilva. Adam suggested that with the EU's trade defence measures, that the mergers may raise steel consumers' sourcing costs (meaning that steel prices are set to rise). The World Steel Association has published forecasts for 2018-2019, suggesting that there will be a mild economic deceleration in the Chinese economy (leading to a fall in steel demand), and that developing economies will once again lead global growth. Developed nations including the EU will attain steady but moderate growth, while India is readying to be a standout growth region for the coming years.
Doug Haynes of Smithers Apex next gave an executive summary of the Smithers report 'The future of ferrous slag to 2027.' Doug suggested that around 50% of global slag production is used in the cement industry, with 32% used in road construction, 10% used in 'other applications,' 3% used in embankments and 2% in internal recycling. These figures exclude disposal to landfill. Doug points out that drivers for slag use include construction demand in India, China and Asia, construction market demand, a trend towards sustainability, the technical properties of cement and concrete with slag, environmental pressures on primary rock extraction and the development of processes capable of mitigating Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag free-lime expansion. However, there are many barriers, including potential decreases in slag production capacity, the financial cost of installing new technology and environmental regulations restricting the use of ferrous slag.
Charles Zeynel of ZAG International next gave an update on granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and the global cement industry. He started by saying that "after having forecast for years that we are going to run out of slag, the day has finally arrived." He recounted a story of a company that had signed a five-year contract with a Chinese state-owned steel company for significant tonnages of slag: six months later, the price tripled despite the contract terms. "But just try and sue a state-owned company in China - you will not get far." The value of slag, he concluded, has increased dramatically. The slag producers have concluded that they want a larger share of the value of slag, so that prices have increased. Charlie pointed out that there is a global oversupply of clinker, but that there is a positive overall outlook for the cement industry due to population growth and urbanisation. Countries are starting to stipulate non-clinker components in cement (some of the emirates in the UAE now stipulate at least 60% fly ash or slag in cement). Due to the continuing closure of coal-fired power stations, particularly in the US and EU, flyash supplies are effectively reducing: slag is the next 'go-to' SCM on the list. There is no current global growth in blast furnace slag production, due to the rise of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel production. Only around 75% of globally-produced blast furnace slag (BFS) is granulated, creating around 250Mt of GBFS, albeit with 150Mt in China, 30Mt in Japan and 70Mt in the rest of the world. China is now auctioning slag supplies for export each week, with the 'winner' having to pay cash 'up-front.' Now around 25Mt of slag is traded internationally, of which 12Mt is Japanese slag, and around 5-6Mt is Chinese slag. Freight rates are rising from their historic lows, and will eventually become a major factor in slag use and pricing. From being a buyer's market, slag is becoming a seller's market.
Michael Connolly of TMS International next gave an update on the regulatory approach to slag and slag products in the USA. In the US around 20Mt of iron and steel slag is produced and marketed each year. Eleven states have now decided that slag is a product rather than a waste, 'if it is not discarded and is distributed for use in commerce.' Industry and the US National Slag Association are busy trying to persuade the remaining states to adopt the same approach to slag. Steel slag is actually the preferred aggregate in high-demand road surface applications, due to its higher coefficient of friction, high resistance to rutting and its high compressive strength, leading to superior skidding resistance. This has led to its use as the track surface for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500. "When properly segregated from ladle slag, steel slag is an excellent high-density aggregate ideal for use in concrete. The only drawback is its high density, but when mixes are properly designed using a mix of natural aggregates and slag, a high efficiency mix can be achieved. These mixes usually have a slightly higher strength and durability than mixes with just natural aggregate stone." Steel slag has also been used as an SCM, while TMS also supplies EAF slag to several cement companies as a cement raw feed.
Andrey Korablin of Russian company SmartScrap Ltd, celebrated his birthday by giving an overview of the Russian steel and slag markets. Russia is the fifth largest steel producer in the world, just behind the US, producing around 70Mt, concentrated in the 'Central Federal District,' around Moscow, in the south west and also around the Urals. The largest producers are Evraz, NLMK, MMK and Severstal. Many slag producers process their own slag, but others use either subsidiary companies or independent processors. Only around 50% of metallurgical waste is recycled. Federal laws are being tightened on waste dumping, while the goal of the Ministry of Industry is to bring the level of municipal solid waste recycling to 80% by 2030, while there are also potential tax breaks for slag use. Road construction and use in the cement industry are the areas, Andrey concluded, with the most potential for increased slag use in Russia.
At the start of the second session, on slag beneficiation, Victoria Masaguer Torres of ArcelorMittal Spain spoke about the use of steelmaking slag in the passive neutralisation of mine waters. The project started a decade ago when a highway construction project allowed the interaction between groundwater and pyritic materials that caused an acid water problem. A laboratory-scale anoxic trial using steel-making slag was used to prove the efficacy of the slag as a neutralisation agent: calcium content of the slag was reduced during the trial, while the pH of the acidic waters was reduced. In a pilot scale trial, 50t of ladle slag was used in one pit, while limestone was used in a control pit. It was found that limestone achieve an acidity reduction of around 90%, compared to around 80% for slag. The slag has a half-life of around two years, and following the exhaustion of the slag as a neutralising material, the pit would be closed and left in place.
Patrick Lecherf of Euragglo next spoke about the agglomeration and briquetting of steel-plant byproducts. Particles are briquetted by first squeezing out the air between particles. Then, if the particles are not self-compacting, by using a binder (such as molasses and lime in the case of steel plant byproducts), the materials are formed into briquettes by being squeezed between patterned rollers. Other binders can be used, such as bentonite, sodium silicate, lignosulfonate, polymers and hardeners, starch and cement. The abrasiveness of the material to be briquetted will determine the frequency of maintenance of the forming rollers.
Amir Shakurov of Ecoslag Recycling of Russia then gave details of molten slag beneficiation using an innovative drum crystalliser. Amir pointed out that a number of different slags have similar viscosity, melting points and enthalpy over a similar temperature range (1500-1800°C). The Ecoslag solution is the accelerated cooling and solidification of molten slag (including carbon, stainless, ferro alloys, copper and nickel slags) using a continuously-rotating drum crystalliser to stabilise dicalcium silicate into a stable form. Amir suggested that the slag crystalliser is built of heat-resistant materials that can withstand the wear-and-tear of 100,000 melts. The Ecoslag drum crystalliser has been successfully installed by the Vyksa steel plant in Russia. Amir mentioned a previous Russian invention for slag cooling and granulation in a rotary drum with steel balls and water sprays, which he claimed has been copied by Chinese firms and has now been re-exported around the world.
Jitka Halamová and Jiří Pyš of ArcelorMittal Ostrava, a company that will soon become an independent unit, next spoke on the efficient use of slag resources. Starting in 2012, the company commenced a series of small steps towards improving the recycling rates of its slag materials. Better internal communication, benchmarking, cross-exchange of ideas from other units, logistics optimisation, and some equipment upgrades allowed the beneficiation and significant addition of value to slag.
Global Slag Awards Dinner
At the end of the first day of the conference, delegates gathered on the dining yacht Grand Bohemia for a cruise along the Vltava River, among the fabulous sights of historic Prague. During the cruise the Global Slag Awards 2018 were presented. Global Slag company of the year (slag/slag product producer) was Harsco Metals and Minerals, and the slag user of the year was CRH Group. The 'supplier of the year' for technology, equipment or services was Loesche. The Recoval Dria unit in Belgium was named as the Global Slag plant of the year, and, fittingly, Carbstone blocks (from the same company) were named as the slag product of the year. The Global Slag 'technical innovation' award went to Loesche for its process for steelmaking slag beneficiation. In a popular decision, Dr York Richard was named the 'Global Slag Personality of the Year.' Finally, it was announced that the Global Slag Conference will return on 3-4 April 2019 to the location where it has most recently (2014) achieved the greatest number of delegates - to a location in the very heart of the 'slag universe:' the charming and well-located German town of Aachen.
Conference second day
On the second day of the conference, Phillip Hemple of Gebr. Pfeiffer SE spoke about the MVR vertical slag grinding mill, with MultiDrive. The mill can grind up to 600t/hr of OPC, with total drive power up to 18,000kW. The MultiDrive concept is essentially the substitution of a conventional drive with planetary gear and axial thrust bearing, with up to six decentralised drive units with girth gears and radial thrust bearings. Phillip showed that the vertical roller mill has the lowest long-term maintenance cost. The MVR mill has a parallel grinding gap, leading to symmetrical wear and the ability to turn the rollers. Cement Australia grinds GBFS at Port Kembla with a MVR 6000 C-6 mill, with 5500kW, to 4000-5000 Blaine.
Taking a different view, Dr York Reichardt of KHD Humboldt Wedag spoke about operating results using a roller press for grinding blast furnace slag. York suggested that a strong point of recommendation for the roller press is the roller surface of tungsten carbide studs, which has a guaranteed lifetime of 17,000hr without refurbishment. He also pointed out that the entire plant needs to be wear-resistant, since there is no point in having a roller that lasts 20,000hr but with chutes that wear out after 2000hr: all parts of the plant need to be designed to last when handling an abrasive material like slag. A new series of even larger KHD roller presses will grind up to 280t/hr of OPC and up to 180t/hr slag (to 4200cm2/g Blaine).
Andreas Jungmann next gave a presentation on behalf of Loesche on steel and steel-alloy slag processing. A Loesche vertical roller mill can be used for slag comminution, and Andreas also gave details of a dry density-separation step based on a fluidised bed approach. Such a process has been installed at the Orbix (Recoval/Recmix) stainless steel slag processing plant at Farciennes in Belgium, driven in large part by the economics of metal recovery. Another approach is to modify the molten LD slag (using technology such as from Primetals and FIB), so that the slag has a much lower metal content, making it much more similar in composition to clinker. Ultra-fine grinding can then activate the 'cryptocrystalline' belite phases (which are actually crystals smaller than 1µm), to give a 28-day strength similar to OPC.
Fernando Dueñas of Cemengal then gave details of the Plug&Grind modular grinding system, featuring an OK VRM from FLSmidth. The Plug&Grind modular mill concept has previously been based on ball mills, and has focused on small to medium capacities, from 60,000t/y up to 400,000t/y ('Plug&Grind Xtreme'). The new vertical roller mill concept uses a three-roller VRM with 1600kW that can grind slag at 4000 Blaine at 60t/hr or 450,000t/y. Such a unit, grinding cement at 500,000t/y and using 1300kW motors, has just been sold to CRH at its cement plant in Dunbar, Scotland.
Andreas Ehrenberg of the FEhS - the Institut für Baustoff-Forschung e.V. - next spoke about the grindability and reactivity of stored granulated blastfurnace slag. Andreas pointed out that a GBFS stored outside in moist conditions will react and will harden. After initial 'proof-of-concept' laboratory tests, a 3000t test pile was formed and was sampled over 55 months. It was found that, without grinding or activation, the material at the bottom of the slag pile became rock-hard, through the hydration and carbonation of the surface of the slag granules. Material at the top of the pile was not so strongly altered. No significant crystallisation of the granules had occurred during storage: hardening was due to superficial surface hydration, forming calcium-silicate-hydroxide (CSH) reaction products. It was found that the grindability of the slag increased with storage time, requiring only 50% of the specific grinding energy for the same fineness after storage for 55 months. However, this was due to the increased grindability of the reacted surface layer, rather than that of the unreacted interior of the granules. In further tests, it was found that for samples ground to the same Blaine fineness, the particle size distribution was actually coarser, due to the preferential grinding of the softer surface layers of the hydrated granules. Prehydration products are located at the surface of the slag particles, so that the majority of the slag is unaffected by hydration. Andreas concluded that when GBFS is ground to the same particle size distribution, then there is no significant loss of strength despite increasing length of storage time - even for decades.
Next Nick Jones of Harsco and Mark Tilley of Lixivia gave a co-authored paper on a pilot-scale project for the extraction of valuable high-purity calcium products from steel slag. Nick reminded delegates that steel slag is currently used as construction aggregate, for agriculture, for drainage materials and as a feed material for construction and insulation, but he said that Harsco is always looking for approaches to add further value to steel slag. New ideas go through a process at Harsco, from discovery and development to final commercial deployment. Such an idea is Lixivia's Selex process, which is a patented water-based hydrometallurgical process using a recoverable lixiviant (a liquid used to selectively extract a metal from a solid ore) that can selectively separate the complex mixture of minerals and metals that are found in steel slag, which can then be sold onwards. The pilot-scale project concentrated on the production of high-purity precipitated calcium carbonate. Full results will be presented in a future edition of the Global Slag Conference.
The penultimate presentation at the 13th Global Slag Conference was given by David Algemissen of the FEhS, sharing details of the ProInnoLDS project, which was to find new markets for Basic Oxygen Furnace BOF-slag-based products, through the creation of a low-phosphorus hot metal that could be recycled in the steelworks. The problem is an acute one, since 3.1Mt of BOF slag is made each year in Germany, and 10.7Mt each year in Europe. Reducing the basicity of the BOF slag results in a dramatic increase in viscosity, to levels where the reduced slag cannot be poured. Adding 10% sand at 1650°C improved the pour ability of the slag, which was further improved by heating to 1750°C, but not to finally acceptable levels, and also without producing minerals that would add cementitious properties. Increasing levels of sand addition and adding Al2O3 decreased the basicity, giving a product of low viscosity, high glass content and with adequate cementitious mineralogy, essentially through modifying the chemical composition of the BOF slag to become nearly identical to that of blast furnace slag. The economics of the chemical modification of the slag and reheating required are currently 'marginal,' but may change with the evolving cost of carbon emissions (from the cement industry) over the coming years, to give a economical replacement material for Portland clinker.
The final presentation was given by Jürgen Haunstetter of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), on the use of slag as a thermal energy storage medium in a concentrated solar power (CSP) unit, as part of the EU-financed research project 'REslag.' Molten salt is commonly used, up to 450°C, but regenerator-type storage can be heated using hot air, up to 1300°C and slag is being considered as the heat storage medium. Hot air would be passed downwards through a chamber containing the material, heating it through the day, until the sun sets. At this point cool air would be passed up through the medium in the chamber to heat the air before it was sent to the boiler. Ceramic bricks and ceramic honeycombs, refractory materials and packed beds (for example containing slag) can all be used as the thermal storage medium. However, during heating and cooling thermomechanical stresses arise in and between the particles and also between the particles and the walls of the containers. The project was to determine the stresses in slag materials and in the slag containers. After 500 compression cycles at 600°C in an experimental rig, no significant damage was found to the slag, suggesting that it could be stable in industrial usage. It was found that perlite refractory bricks were too fragile to be used as an insulating medium at the bottom of such a chamber, but that super-duty firebricks were robust enough for potential use.
Conference prizes
At the end of the conference, a number of prizes were awarded. Following a vote by delegates, Nick Jones of Harsco and Mark Tilley of Lixivia won third prize for their paper on a new process to extract valuable minerals from stainless steel slag, while David Algemissen of the FEhS won second prize for his paper on BOF slag modification. However, completing a good day for his organisation, Andreas Ehrenberg won the prize for the best presentation for his paper on grindability and reactivity of slag after prolonged storage. Delegates agreed to meeting again soon, in Aachen in April 2019.

Facebook App: Navigating the sections
by Adam Marks Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:24 pm EDT
As we continue our review of the Facebook Beta App, we are going to quickly walk-thru each of the 7 main sections of the app and give a brief overview of what is included there (if you still do not have the Beta app, review our initial Facebook tip on how to install it). But before we get into the overview, let's quickly talk about the three ways to navigate this app. In addition to the top bar header, you can swipe down from the top-left of the screen to bring up the Facebook application drop-down menu and then tapping "Navigate To..." to bring up the list of sections. You will also notice that each section here includes a Meta-tap to use a Gesture Area + keyboard shortcut to move between the app. So now that you know how to move around the app, let's discuss each section (after the break!)
News Feed (Gesture + H, for Home) - This is your typical Facebook News Feed. You can see people's posts and comments, and you can set your own status update here
Photos (Gesture + P) - This provides you access to all Facebook photo albums. Clicking on any album will bring up that photo album, to be viewed in a webOS-style photo app viewer
Search (Gesture + S) - This allows to you quickly search (1) you friends, (2) all users, or (3) any page that you "like", and then tap on that search result to be brought to that Facebook page. The search occurs dynamically, so as you type it will automatically limit your search results. Note that the search does not follow the standard webOS search terms (i.e. first initial + last name), but rather searches for what you type anywhere from within the name. So, a search for both "Pre", "eCen" or "ral" would all find "PreCentral"
Inbox (Gesture + I) - This is your Facebook Inbox. You can click on any message to bring up the entire threaded conversation and reply as necessary. The bottom of your inbox will show this icon bar ( ), that lets you switch between your "inbox", "updates" sent from your fan pages, and your "sent" box. You can also click the icon to send a new message in a webOS email-style interface, but see the "search" section above for discussion on how to use the search feature
Profile (Gesture + U) - This brings up your own Profile page
Events (Gesture + E) - This shows your upcoming Facebook events, with a choice to switch between viewing your "Events" and "Birthdays"

Ashford Town Swimming Club is able to operate thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers who give up their free time to create an environment where the children of the club are able to achieve their full potential.
Thank you to all our volunteers for giving up your time, however small, to make the club the fun and friendly environment it is. We welcome all new volunteers; please speak to any of us on poolside or at the Club Desk!
The club is a collective for all members. With the exception of the Head Coach, everyone involved within the club is an unpaid volunteer.
Please do remember that this is YOUR club!
Swim England laws and rules dictate the number and type of Officials that should be officiating at a gala. All these Officials ensure that galas are run smoothly and fairly.
Please be willing to support your child's swimming by taking up training opportunities related to 'Officials' status and offering your help at these and other events.
If you are interested then please speak to the Club Desk on a Tuesday who will be happy to discuss what is involved.
All Officials must be a member of a club officiated to Swim England.
The following list describes briefly the role of the various Officials.
Referee: Has complete control of the competition, the venue and other officials in all matters of the swimming laws and conduct. The Referee's decision is final.
Stroke Judge: Patrol the side of the pool to observe the swimmers conform to the Laws of Strokes.
Place Judge: Stand at the finish of each event to decide the official places, may also act as a Turn Judge.
Turn Judge: Observe the swimmers conform to Swim England Law regarding turns and relay takeovers.
Chief Timekeeper: Records official time from each Timekeeper, if necessary adjusts them to suit the places with the supervision of the Referee.
Timekeeper: Take and record the time of the swimmer in the lane allotted. This is the official time, which may be adjusted in accordance with Swim England Law to suit the official places, which takes precedence over times.
Announcer: Announce results after they have been recorded, provides security awareness and any other relevant information.
Marshalls: Arranges the swimmers in each event into appropriate heats.
In the future, we would like to run our Club Championships as a Licensed Level 4 Meet, at which Swim England times can be achieved and recorded in their Rankings Database.
Times recorded will also be suitable for entry into County Championships and Level 3 Meets.
Turning End – at least 1 per two lanes (6 lane pool = a minimum of 3 Inspector of Turns) all of whom must be qualified to a minimum of Timekeeper.

Moonlight on the Prairie
(Bob Nolan / Vernon Spencer)
Into the sky to his throne on high
Comes the moon on his midnight ride,
To cover the trail with a silver veil
Over the great divide:
Moonlight on the prairie, campfires burning low,
Moonlight on the prairie, soft winds gently blow.
Into the night, stars shining bright,
I'll ride o'er the silver sea,
Jogging along, singing a song,
Moonlight on the prairie.
Twilight will come at each set of sun
Again my trail will wind,
Out on the plains where moonlight reigns
Leaving all cares behind.
Painting by Thomas Wosik
One of Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer's few collaborations, "Moonlight on the Prairie" was also one of their earliest publications, first by Sunset Music in 1934 and later that year by M. Witmark and Sons. An immediate hit, the Sons of the Pioneers recorded it for Decca on August 8, 1934 and shortly afterward for the Standard Radio Transcriptions.
The following year, 1935, it was picked up for a Warner Brothers short film "Radio Scout" featuring comedian, El Brendel. The Sons of the Pioneers, aka as the Gold Star Rangers at that time, sang "Moonlight in the Valley", a simple variation of the original "Moonlight on the Prairie":
Moonlight in the valley, campfires burning low,
Moonlight in the valley, soft winds gently blow.
Into the sky to his throne on high,
Comes the moon on his midnight ride.
Moonlight in the valley.
Warner Brothers also used it as the title song for a Dick Foran western at the end of 1935 although the Pioneers did not appear in the film with him this time. On a 10-2-4 radio program in August 1945 and another time in 1946, Martha Mears and Bob Nolan discuss the song's origin.
The song was picked up by Shug Fisher and his Ranch Boys, Sonny Dawson, The Beverly Hill Billies, Foy Willing & the Riders of the Purple Sage, Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys as well as modern groups such as The Tumbling Tumbleweeds. You are listening to Dick Foran as you read this. (Many thanks to OJ Sikes for providing the selections.)

Langrigg Hall is a country house near the village of Langrigg in Cumbria. It is a Grade II listed building.

History
The hall was reconstructed by Thomas Bawis in the mid-18th century. John Barwis (1775-1818), who was also Rector of Niton in the Isle of Wight, was one of its prominent owners, and his son William Barwis, was still in possession of Langrigg manor in 1860. In 1876, its ownership changed to Joseph Bowerbank of Cockermouth. The hall is currently the base for a large free range egg production enterprise.

Nothing can match the perfect sugar full taste of chocolates when celebrating a cultural tradition or rejoicing on a romantic eve. The world has been impassioned with chocolates since as old as 1100 BC. From the ancient to this contemporary world, new and innovative shapes and styles of chocolates have been manufactured but the taste has always been sweet and delicious.
Hershey milk chocolate bars were the first mass produce chocolate bars in the U.S. They are named after the inventor S.Hershey of Lancaster and were first produced in 1894. The bars possess a bit of a sour taste and is considered to be the 'The Great American Chocolate Bar'. Hershey company is the leading North-American manufacturer of quality chocolate.
Oh Henry! chocolate bars are a delicious amalgamation of caramel, chocolate fudge coated in smooth milk chocolate and roasted peanuts. This is a product of the Williamson candy company and was first manufactured in 1921. It is one of the oldest extant candy bars in North America.
This sweet is named after the surname of the two founders of this company. Manufactured first in 1941, the product is now sold over a century of countries. M&Ms are a bunch of small colourful chocolate beans with fillings of milk and dark chocolate, crispy , orange chocolate, peanut butter, peanut, pretzel and wild cherry.
The original version of this chocolate bar was 'Kandy Kake' which was introduced in the U.S in the 1900. It was later renamed by the Curtiss Candy Company to Baby Ruth in 1921. This delicious chocolate bar is made up of peanuts, caramel and chocolate-flavoured nougat covered in chocolate.
This product was launched in 1932 in the U.S by Mars Incorporated. It is a chocolate covered fluffy whipped chocolate bar and crunchy in taste. It is actually made of marshmallows and whipped cream.
One of the highly delicious candy bar, Milky Way was manufactured by Mars Confectionary in 1923. It is made of chocolate malt-nougat topped with caramel and dipped in milk chocolate. It shares a very similar taste to the Mars chocolate bar.
Butterfinger, a product of Nestle, is one of the most famous chocolate candy all over the world. It has a similar texture to the crisp caramel and tastes quite as same as the peanut butter coated in compound chocolate.
Kit Kat is also a leading product of Nestle. It was first manufactured by Rowntrees of York in 1935 but produced by Nestle in over 17 countries now, including , Pakistan , India , Brazil, Australia , Algeria and China. It gives a crunchy taste, with wafer biscuits covered in a chocolate layer.
They are one of the best selling candies in the history of the U.S. They were manufactured in 1928 by Harry Burnett Reese. This product of candy is fillet with butter covered in chocolate adn pioneered teh way to generic peanut butter cups.
So why does Snickers top the list ? The reason is very simple. Best selling chocolate bar of all time. It was introduced by the Mars Incorporate in 1930. It has peanut nougats topped with caramel and roasted peanuts, covered in smooth milk chocolate. Today this product has sales of over $2 billion.

La autopropulsión es el desplazamiento autónomo de objetos naturales o artificiales de tamaño nano-, micro- o macroscópico, conteniendo estos sus propios medios de movimiento. La autopropulsión suele estar causada principalmente por fenómenos de interfase. Se han estudiado distintos mecanismos de autopropusión, utilizando efectos foréticos, superficies de gradiente, ruptura de simetrías en superficies, efecto Leidenfrost, campos hidrodinámicos y químicos autogenerados procedentes de confinamientos geométricos, y solutocapilaridad y termocapilaridad en el efecto Marangoni. Los sistemas autopropulsados han mostrado potencial como dispositivos microfluidos y micromezcladores. También se han encontrado liquid marbles autopropulsadas.

Super Rugby is a professional rugby union competition contested by fifteen teams from Australia, Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. The teams are divided into three conferences, the Australian Conference, the New Zealand Conference, and the South African Conference, with each conference containing five teams.
The competition is administered by SANZAAR, a joint venture of the four countries' national governing bodies: the Australian Rugby Union, the Argentine Rugby Union, Rugby Japan, and the South African Rugby Union. The first season of Super Rugby was played in 1996 and was known as the Super 12 after its twelve participating teams. The competition was renamed the Super 14 in 2006 when the number of teams was increased to fourteen. It was further expanded to fifteen teams for the 2011 season.
Super Rugby is considered one of the most prestigious rugby union competitions in the world. It is also one of the most lucrative rugby union competitions, with total prize money of over AU$50 million (approximately US$37 million). The winner of the competition receives a trophy called the Mandela Challenge Plate.
Super Rugby was initially a 12-team competition involving teams from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The competition was founded as the Super 12 in 1996 by SANZAAR, then known as the South African, New Zealand, and Australian Rugby Unions. The first season of Super Rugby was played in 1997, with 14 games played over 10 rounds. The competition was expanded to 14 teams in 2006, with each team playing 13 games in the regular season. In 2011, the competition was again expanded to 15 teams, with each team playing 16 games in the regular season.
Super Rugby is played between February and August, with each team playing every other team once. There are three rounds of finals, with the top team in each conference progressing to the semi-finals. The semi-finals are played between the two conference winners, with the winner of each semi-final progressing to the final.
The current champions are the Canterbury Crusaders, who won the 2020 Super Rugby Aotearoa competition.

A common saying is that pets are the best friends of a carpet cleaner. After all, not only do pets leave behind mud and urine spotting, but they also leave plenty of fur in their tracks. If you have a pet that sheds a moderate or significant amount of fur, chances are keeping your carpets clean is a huge problem for you. Here are a few tips that will help you remove pet hair from your carpet.
The best way to remove pet hair from your carpet is by hiring a professional cleaner to get the job done. In fact, it is recommended that pet owners have their carpets professionally deep cleaned once every few months. Unfortunately, you will still need to keep your carpet relatively clean and free of pet hair in between deep cleanings.
Sponge mop - You can use a sponge mop to remove pet hair from your carpet. Vacuum your carpet to remove or loosen some of the hair. Then, use water to saturate your sponge mop. Use this sponge mop to saturate the hair-heavy areas of your carpeting with water. The sponge mop will help move the pet hair to carpet's surface. Then, you can use your hands or a vacuum to remove the hair clumps at the surface of the carpeting.
Fabric softener - Get an empty spray bottle and fill it with a solution of water and liquid fabric softener. About 25 percent of the solution should be liquid fabric softener while the other 75 percent should be water. Use the mixture to spray hair-heavy areas of the carpet.

GoodReads Summary: Emma is Jess's little sister...and her dilemma. How can one small girl be sweet, funny, imaginative, playful, and affectionate as well as a clinging vine, brat, tattletale, and nuisance all at the same time? Why is Jess supposed to be a good big sister while Emma doesn't have to be a good little sister? The highlights and low points of this sibling relationship are insightfully evoked in short and simple poems, some funny, some touching, and all resonant with emotional truth. Every child with a younger sibling will recognize Jess's dilemma and the combination of ambivalence and deep loyalty that is built into the sibling relationship. Nancy Carpenter's graceful illustrations perceptively complement Kristine O'Connell George's agile poems.
What I Think: I have been reading and discussing See You At Harry's by Jo Knowles this month and then I read this collection of poems that tell a story about two sisters and I fell in love. Emma Dilemma is full of sisterly poems. I have a younger sister who reminds me of Emma in a way. We definitely acted like sisters growing up - the kind of sisters who just struggle to get along. Kristine O'Connell George truly gets sibling relationships right in these story. As much as Jessica (the bigger sister) is annoyed by her little sister (Emma), she really loves her and they will always be sisters.
Any child who has a sibling can relate to at least one of the poems in this book, I'm sure. And for anyone who doesn't have a sibling, I think this gives some great insight into what it's like to have a little sibling.
This book is wonderful for talking about siblings and sibling relationships - or even relationships in general, how there are some people who can really get on our nerves but we also love those people sometimes. I love the idea of exploring personal narratives through poetry. Writing about your life and what you know is the important, and it would be a good topic to use when working on poetry. I also love how this book could get kids into the mode of thinking about families and family relationships before reading See You At Harry's or Fig Pudding as a read aloud.
Writing Prompts: Write about your relationship with a sibling or if you are an only child, write about your relationship with your parents or another family member who is close to you.
