Send your comments on Ostrander Point wind turbine project
Prince Edward County Field Naturalists | Jan 06, 2012 | Comments 24
The Gilead Industrial Wind Turbine Project at Ostrander Point is now listed on Environmental Registry for public comment. Please take a few minutes to submit your comments.
The deadline is February 19, 2012.
Be sure to quote the EBR Registry Number: 011-5239
Here are some points you may wish to make:
A globally significant natural habitat
Gilead's 9 wind turbines would be built in the Ostrander Point Crown Land Block on the south shore of Prince Edward County. Ostrander Point is part of the Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird Area (IBA).
This IBA is globally important for the number of species that congregate there, and nationally significant for its threatened species. In spring and fall, migratory birds funnel through Prince Edward County. In fact, Prince Edward Point has more migratory birds, and in greater densities, than anywhere else on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario.
The Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory (PEPtBO) sees more birds than any other migration-monitoring station in Ontario. Approximately ¾ million birds pass through the 1 km shoreline of Prince Edward Point each year. It's estimated that about 12 million birds migrate through the eastern Ontario area every spring and fall, from Presqu'ile in the west to Wolfe Island in the east.
Experts from Environment Canada and Nature Canada have said that Ostrander Point is a bad place for wind turbines because of the numbers of song birds and raptors which migrate through the area. The Wolfe Island turbine installation kills about 7 times more birds than other North American projects, mostly because of the high numbers of migrating birds.
Species at Risk
The IBA was designated because of its species at risk. The more than 20 species at risk documented at Ostrander Point include the loggerhead shrike, Henslow's sparrow, king rail, black tern, bobolink, whip-poor-will and Blanding's turtle. Gilead's proposed damage control for wildlife is extremely limited: purchasing other land for the Blanding's turtle habitat and funding a study of the effects of turbines on whip-poor-wills. No other species has been mentioned in the studies and no damage control has been suggested for those other species.
Ostrander Point contains provincially significant wetland areas and globally rare alvar habitat, some of which would be irreparably harmed by the industrial construction.

Another of Ontario's beautiful spots is threatened by the misguided notion that wind turbines are going to save us. There should not be a wind turbine development at Ostrander Point.
Environmentally sensitive areas, farmland and historic sites are being torn up for the sake of greed all over the world. Those who speak out are vilified. Wind advocates demand proof but will find a way to dismiss it. Our electricity bills are going through the roof as landowners collect lease payments and wind developers collect their subsidies. People are suffering and birds are dying. Yet these monsters as so inefficient that backup power must wait on standby until needed. They don't have a place in anyone's 'energy mix'.
Reasons for opposition to industrial wind turbines include well being, economic, aesthetics, cultural, or environmental. Each is valid, including this one: THEY DO SPOIL THE VIEW.
Good article Donna! Sounds like that town was voicing the same opinions as found here. Life went on without the expected negative impact that is so expressed. This is not about party affiliations but about slowing down global enviromental issues.

Not sure where to post this so I'll include it here. This is from an Australian newspaper about a small community with first-hand experience of wind turbines:
Leicester Mercury, October 31, 2011
"When they first heard there were going to be four giant wind turbines on their doorsteps, villagers feared the worst. But now even some of the most hardened protesters have admitted fears over the noise have come to nothing. The county's first commercial wind farm has towered over the countryside between the villages of Gilmorton, Ashby Magna and Dunton Bassett, near Lutterworth, since its construction in March. Concerns over noise from the 410ft turbines prompted swift action from residents who campaigned against the project.
However, after being in operation for almost a month homeowners have said they are getting used to the gentle "swoosh" of the giant blades. John Phillips, 70, lives in Ashby Road, less than a mile from the wind farm. He said he was against the construction at first. He said: 'I went to all the protest meetings and I was against them from the start. But now, I must say they don't really bother me. I can't hear them and I can barely see them. It's like the industrial revolution all over again – people don't like change until it actually happens, and they get used to it.'
Kelly Gamage, 33, moved into her home in Gilmorton in July, and said she had no idea about the plans to build a wind farm there. She said: 'It was a shock when we found out, we certainly didn't expect anything like this when we moved in. At first we didn't want them on our doorstep, but now they're up, they're not doing any harm and there's no noise coming from them.'
The turbines, which cost £1.8million each, stand between the three villages. David Dewes, who owns Low Spinney Farm, after which the wind farm is named, said: 'I think now the ice has been broken people are warming to them. Our home is very close to one of the turbines, and the most we hear is a slight swooshing sound – some people have said it's quite calming actually.'
The wind farm, which is connected to the National Grid, is expected to provide enough power for 5,000 homes.It is estimated that it has produced 2.5 gigawatts of electricity since the blades began turning at the start of October. Parish councils at Gilmorton, Ashby Magna and Dunton Bassett will receive £5,333 a year as part of the agreement with the developer, Broadview Energy."
Pete Johnson says:
While it is certain that a wind turbine will kill hundreds of birds, it is less than clear that wind turbines will have a positive effect on climate change. Europe has had IWTs for decades and has not reduced its carbon emissions by one gram. It is a false argument to claim that IWTs will reduce our carbon footprint or improve the air that we breath.
Suzanne Lucas says:
Rob, thanks for your response, but I don't think you actually addressed the points I was making. Naturalists, the experts on bio-diversity, are against the siting at Ostrander Point as it will negatively impact sensitive and endangered species and habitats that are rare in this world. Global climate change is impacting biodiversity at a frightening rate as you mention, so what we need is to develop wind energy projects that do not contribute to this devastating problem. And, as you probably know if you are informed about global climate change, this project, or any number of these projects on the shores of Lake Ontario will not slow climate change by even one milli-second. Wind energy can become a smart and efficient energy source for Ontarians, but erecting IWTs on the South Shore is not the answer.

I will say, I would rather have systems out there that would allow low income families to provide energy for their own households at an economical level. I, as a Mom and a concious member of society would love to be able to produce the energy my family needs within our own property. That is not currently economically viable, looked into it. Beyond that I want green energy as a source of energy to offset the fossil fuel and nuclear sources that are currently available. Yes I know there are problems with the current technology. I just know (from one of the courses I have taken) that we cannot continue to pollute the way we have. My children deserve a better future.

The anti protecting vulnerable County sites are out again. They are anti anything that would stop their mission for gigantic industrial wind turbines. They want to push this upon us with little or no consultation and to h**L with the impacts. This is all driven by $$$$$$. An unreliable, expensive power source that requires a backup. They just don't get it. Follow the $$$$ path for the real truth.
Saturday, January 14th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
Suzanne, I am pleased that you support wind power and as an environmentalist I am definitely onside with the need to protect birds. As Douglas pointed out, however, this seems to be situation where the fight to save hundreds of birds is blocking our efforts to help save billions of birds and avoid the extinction of many species worldwide.
You argue that "…the (Ostrander Point) site is clearly inappropriate because it is in a migratory bird fly way." Unfortunately the whole North Shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie are in a major migration route within the Atlantic Flyway (see http://www.birdnature.com/flyways.html). It is a much broader area than the south shore of the County. Wind maps of Ontario clearly show that wind energy is also concentrated along the North Shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie (http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/groups/lr/@mnr/@renewable/documents/document/198058.pdf). Avoiding migratory bird flyways essentially means ruling out all of the sites where wind can be economically harvested, in southern Ontario including the whole of PEC.
Please recognize the campaign to block the Ostrander Point project for what it is. It's pretending to be a noble fight to protect birds in the County but the devil is in the details. When you look at the details it's hard to escape the conclusion that it's actually an initiative contrived to recruit well-intentioned bird enthusiasts into the campaign to block wind energy in the whole County and the whole of Ontario.

You've missed the point. The anti-winds don't want wind turbines built anywhere! 'Not in my back yard' means nowhere in Prince Edward County. Now there are people fighting solar installations. There's always a reason why NOT. It has to be somewhere and it has to be now.
People all over Ontario oppose the Green Energy Act for many reasons. Many, myself included,oppose it even though I support alternative energy including wind power. I believe that Ontarians deserve good energy policy, and the project at Ostrander Point demonstrates the many ways that the GEA has failed us. To begin with, the site is clearly inappropriate because it is in a migratory bird fly way. Local, provincial and nationally recognized natural ecologists, who also support wind energy, oppose this project. I wonder why anyone who is concerned with the earth's biodiversity could support this siting. Logical fallacies don't bolster anyone's arguments, so to suggest that if we choose not to support the siting at Ostrander Point, we are also choosing to pollute the world with more fossil fuels, is insulting at best. Surely even the most ardent supporters of wind energy can admit that there should be some criteria used to pick the best sites for IWTs. To do otherwise will only create more opponents of wind power. A good green energy policy would include such criteria and would give all wind energy proponents the right to say that they support an environmentally sustainable energy source. Let all of us on the county who support good green energy policy work together to stop the Ostrander Point wind project.

While Prince Edward County fiddles, the world burns! Birds such as Scaups and Scoters (boreal ducks) are the species that make the south shore of PEC an INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED important birding area. Over the past number of years these 2 species have declined 40% and 60% respectively. Scientists have identified CLIMATE CHANGE as the source…spring is coming 11 days earlier where they breed. Their competitors (Mallards) that arrive in time for the bloom of life on which they feed, are thriving. The Scaups and Scoters don't have enough food to breed successfully.
The naysayers of PEC would rather save the odd bird from being hit by a turbine while millions of boreal ducks die! Poor choice. There's more to the world than our little corner of Lake Ontario.
There is not one species whose survival will be affected by wind turbines in Prince Edward County. There are tens of thousands of SPECIES that will be affected by CLIMATE CHANGE.

I agree with Rob Williams that there is widespread denial, or perhaps just ignorance, of the reality that fossil fuel use will need to be reduced for only essential needs that cannot be replaced with other sources – yet. But that ignorance and denial is logical given the fact that none of our governments and leaders have faced up to their responsibilities to act on this crucial issue.
For instance, renewable energy technology will be worth our funds and effort when we find a way of storing the power so it is available when we need it. Not one government is spending our money looking for that technology. Instead they are handing out our money to tar sands and turbine corporations, some of whom are the same.
Another use of our money for our actual needs would be in developing smaller, cheaper renewable energy technology that everyone could afford for their homes and businesses.
The most obvious way that the County can "do our bit" for Canadian citizens faced with this future is to resurrect the practice of growing food that we can eat. Not industrial crops for manufacturing and energy. And it will provide a new (or old) economy for local residents.
It is also only too true that unsupported claims are oft-repeated by the wind industry that turbines will not affect bird and bat populations. There are scarce habitats remaining for wildlife that is our responsibility to protect from development of any kind. The Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird Area is one.
Like Tom I am a supporter of wind energy in the County, not because I have a personal financial stake in it (I don't), but because I am very aware of the severe damage our continued irresponsible use of fossil fuels is doing to the Earth's climate, biosphere and ecosystems.
Some of the most obvious evidence of this is recorded in recent reports of the state of the oceans where warming and increased acidification are primary drivers of species extinction. ("…we now face losing marine species and entire marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs, within a single generation." http://www.stateoftheocean.org/pdfs/1806_IPSOshort.pdf – June 2011). Other evidence can be seen in the increasing frequency and severity of droughts and forest fires around the world.
We need every community around the world to "do its bit" in helping develop clean energy sources as an alternative necessary to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, not just within its own community but also nationally. PEC has no greater opportunity to contribute to this national and ultimately global effort than through the development of wind energy on a commercial scale. The abundance of wind makes it the outstanding resource for the generation of energy in the County.
It is very frustrating to see a few hundred anti-wind energy campaigners blocking efforts of responsible citizens to address the global fossil fuel problem and, with no supporting evidence, claim that they represent most of the 20,000 plus residents of the County. There's no doubt wind energy was a factor in the provincial election but it was by no means the only factor. Sadly the anti-wind energy campaigners seem to be in denial regarding the urgency of developing alternative low carbon energy sources and/or believe others have a responsibility to "do their bit" but not them.
Finally it is disturbing to see the anti-wind energy campaigners repeatedly resort to propaganda tactics well known to unscrupulous politicians. Their claims don't need supporting evidence or even to be true. They simply need to be repeated over and over till people believe them.
Examples in other comments here include: claims of human health problems have repeatedly failed the evidence test; claims of Wolfe Island now being a wasteland are absurd and where is the body of evidence showing wind turbine adverse impacts on property values and the local economy beyond those impacts attributable to anti-wind energy scaremongering? Allegations that wind energy will cause a 45% increase in hydro rates were shown to be absolutely untrue by a detailed Pembina Institute study (see "FAQ about Ontario electricity prices" http://pubs.pembina.org/reports/re-in-on-faq.pdf). Impacts of wind turbines on bird populations are insignificant compared with the entire species that are being threatened by climate Change or with the bird mortality attributable to fossil fuels;
Don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by oft-repeated but unsupported claims of the scary impacts of wind turbines. Ask to see the evidence and judge for yourself.
I am a supporter of IWT's as I have stated before. Throw all the scary numbers at me that you want in terms of environmental impact, inefficiency and inflated costs. I believe this is one small step that can and should be taken.
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
You are correct Gary. I would add to that long list a couple of other items that people find distasteful. With hydro rates already exorborant there are few that welcome a 45% further uncrease in 4 years time to support an energy source such as wind that is unreliable and requires backup. Also the fire hazards of turbines is significant and you only need to google wind turbine fires to see the potential risks. The County doesn't have the equipment to fight turbine fires and the risk to an often drought conditioned area poses some potentially huge wildfires.
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at 7:04 am
Tom, it's not that CountyLive is a place only for those who oppose large scale, uncontrolled wind energy development in the County, it's that there are very few local people who are now in favour of wind projects here.
Most of us were early supporters of wind. It was only after learning about health issues, realizing the impact on property values, taking account of adverse effects on our local economy and recognizing the risk to birds and other wildlife that most people switched to the opposition side.
catherine stewart says:
Industrial sized wind turbines can be located anywhere in the Province of Ontario. We have seen the destruction they have created on Wolfe Island, once a Crown Jewel, now a wasteland bearing a disproportionatly sized mega power project. Nobody wants to live there, birds are dying at 7 times the rate of other North American Projects. We can see this project with a good pair of binoculars.
Why would the Government of Ontario consent to Crown Land being handed over to industrial development in a provincially designated IBA area? It was designated thus by agencies supported by the Province through funding from our tax dollars.
Ostrander Point has been carefully surveyed by Environment Canada, Nature Canada and Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory which have already concluded Ostrander Point to be an unwise choice for Industrial Development, with solid evidence.
Listen to the experts folks, they speak from experience, science and understanding. They are not going to profit other than by successfully protecting a rare habitat. They speak for wildlife whose voices and requirements cannot be heard by government.
Gilead loosely(cavalierly)states that they will provide alternate wildlife habitat….how does Gilead or the Province of Ontario know that this will be a good deal for these Species at Risk? We cannot tell a Blanding's Turtle, Loggerhead Shrike, Henslow's Sparrow, Whip-poor-will, Bobolink to use land Gilead feels is more suitable for them!!!
If these species could make a presentation at public hearings, they would no doubt suggest other habitat for Gilead!
Years down the road, after the migration route is decimated, we can move the turbines to a more suitable location but we CANNOT bring back wildlife species which have succumbed to our outright IGNORANCE, neglegence and greed.
Obviously wind power is powerful at this Point. It is where the ancient species called birds make the best of wind to cross a large body of water to migrate north and reproduce before heading south again. This is their land and wind as much as ours, therefore I speak for them and welcome their beautiful voices, apparently not heard by those unable to see a wholistic picture.
Remember the Seven Generations philosophy – wisdom does not evolve overnight and asks us to have the courage to make hard choices which sometimes means denying self-interest.

Ontario's Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller makes a plea for at-risk species such as those found at Ostrander Point.

I have already sent my comments to the Ministry and have received an acknowledgment. My comment supported the project at Ostrander Point and I have the courage to stand by it by commenting here. I understand that I will be attacked verbally but I feel that I must since this site seems to only be a place for the participants who oppose wind generation on the County. There are others who agree with me so I invite them to post a positive comment on wind generation.

I think you know the answers.
Our governments, the voice of Parks Canada, Ontario MNR, Historic Societies and others have not learned that it's all about pressure.
These officials and most of our anti-wind leaders have no balls to apply pressure. Leaders in Prince Edward County (PEC) fought against organizing non-violent angry marches, demomstrations which are tactics foreign to our anti-wind leaders. Most are staid parlor gentry businessmen who shy from controvercial actions in the streets, while their pro-wind adversaries with deep pockets are happy to keep it between lawyers rather than in the streets in the eye of the media. As far as I know, I'm the only experienced community organizer in PEC that has offered to help the anti-wind leaders remember the tried and true tactics of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – marches demonstrations and actions.
We would appreciate if you would tell our anti-wind leaders to use civil disobedience.

This year's Riverside Avondale Spring Home Tour kicks off with a special Twilight Party, an outdoor evening celebration at abeautiful home with a lighted patio and backyard on Richmond Street in Avondale.
The party has been a popular tradition of the tour for the past six years, held the Thursday prior to the Tour weekend. This year, the party is at a home is not on the regular tour, so it is no longer a "preview" but a one-time event. The outdoor concept was inspired by the experience of last year's "twilight" home hosted by Phil Stantial.
The music is by Darren Ronan and scrumptious food provided by Biscotti's.
There are so many interesting people living in our historic district, we want to feature one of them during the Party. Dr. James P. Delgado, an Avondale resident, is an internationally known archaeologist, historian, journalist, and educator. Dr. Delgado's work fits well with the historic preservation focus of the weekend.
Dr. Delgado's television experience spans more than 150 documentaries for ABC, National Geographic, Discovery, History, and many other networks. He was the host for all six seasons of National Geographic International's "The Sea Hunters," which focused on the discovery, examination and stories behind some of history's most amazing shipwrecks around the world.
We are honored to have Dr. Delgado speak during our Twilight Party.


Without any doubt having a beard is but a pulling factor that any man ought to know. The history behind beards is not only fascinating but attractive as well. Before dwelling much on the history and all other reasons I would like to applaud all bearded men for taking that wise decision. As I once mentioned in another article on popular beard styles for 2018, you are giving the "mane" to the "lion" in the world of men. Thank you.
Now back to our issue, in the world we live in beards have given the bearer wings to fly. For instance, most popular actors or cartoon characters (Papa Smurf) in Hollywood from the Western movies (Clint Eastwood), Sci-Fi (Wolverine), Comedy (Charlie Chaplin), Thriller (Chuck Norris) or any other genre – sported one beard style or the other. You can even go to music from country (Don Williams), reggae (Bob Marley), hip-hop (Kanye West; Rick Ross) or RnB (Akon) – most prominent stars had beards.
In politics, great statesmen (Abraham Lincoln) or even dictators (Adolf Hitler) all had one thing in common – beards.
In sports, even the world's great soccer player Lionel Messi could not resist the power of the beard.
In cricket, South Africa's Hashim Amla gives credit to his trademark beard to keep him going. Indeed it is the symbol that makes a man be who ought to be. In every sphere of life, the beard is significant.
Looking at historical figures be it politics, socially, religion or even business – the bearded man had his place as the principal. Some gods have been bearded men (Zeus and Hermes), even claims are made that Jesus had one too. Be it as it may, there are many physical elements that point at the bearded man taking authority and dominating, As such beards men are worth the attraction. To add on by looking even in nature the males have some hairy or beardy feature to show what they are – that's dominance.
The constant oiling, trimming or even shaving that a man does to his beard has an attractive feature too especially with the ladies. It is a psychological attraction as by being able to maintain one's beard, the bearer can as well equally take care of those dear to him like a partner or family. For this reason, beard men stand a better chance of scooping the ladies or partners of their choice as the beard does the "marketing" for them. The tedious maintenance of the beard has its benefits to the beards men – care for your beard and it will take care of you if in need of a life partner.
Scientifically speaking there has been extensive research which proves that beards prevent conditions such as the accumulation of the harmful Ultra Violet rays (UV) by over 90 percent. This has a positive effect on the skin as chances of skin cancer even aging are reduced significantly. Thus for men who are still pondering growing a beard – there you have it; beards are healthy and beneficial for you.
By being able to parade their beard endowment to the world to see, heavy beards men are actually displaying confidence. Even for those who have smaller beards, the same confidence is instilled by the beard itself as they will be exposing their hidden potential to the outside world.
There is a saying that goes – if you can't stand up for something, you can fall for anything. This is certainly true for any beards man, as many may shun beards owing to a few individuals who do not properly take of their assets. Thus that ability to go on and grow, maintain and sustain your beard is proof that you are a risk taker. In spite of popular prevailing public opinion, the beards man who continues with his beard shows that they overcame adversity.
As I mentioned earlier that beards men tend to be caring and responsible, they are also protective. Because they can protect their interests to have a beard in a world full of multitudes who are cleanly shaven is an awesome display of how they can stand up and protect their interests. Women love that. There nothing more impressive to any woman than to feel safe and secure in the vicinity of her man.
The success that many men who are famous for their championship feats have beards is refreshing and convincing for any potential bearer to follow suit. If you consider most of the stars in sports, for instance, they proudly don beards and so do award-winning actors, musicians, fervent preachers, historical figures or heroes had beards. Their perseverance and ability to dream gave them triumph. So inspiring is the story of the beard winning streak!
By all means, kids love beards men. Who never loved the "Ho! Ho! Ho!" sounds every Christmas – Santa Claus being the kids favorite as he brings them toys and candy. We are all privy to his fluffy white beard cascading down his robe and being a source of joy every festive period. Kids definitely love Father Christmas as he is also known as. Even you as a father or uncle play this role to bring that merry to the kids Christmas expectations.
Still, on the subject of kids – fairy tales and cartoons portray a number of the heroes are bearded men. Think of the seven dwarfs who rescued Snow White as well as the good bearded Papa Smurf fighting against the evil clean shaven Gargamel. Kids grow up celebrating the heroic nature of beards men and more of them will join the trend in future.
Quite a number of religious figures from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism were bearded men. Even until now most rabbis, prophets or whatever title they hold have great respect for beard and have it as well. Beards imply closeness to Divinity.
Strength is one of those components displayed in any beards man. Take a look at lumberjacks, cowboys; wrestlers among other tough guys, a greater number have their beards on. They pose a die-hard attitude and look untouchable as they might give any provoker a thorough bashing.
That ability to stand out from the rest shows a free personality in any beards man. Thus the world sees an open-minded person who shows wit and intellect to shoulder any contemptuous conditions. Heavy and long beards often exhibit that free individual who has no limits and can go beyond the ordinary.
With a number of bearded men excelling in the arts sector as artists, musicians, painters, and authors thus there is creativity hidden in a beard. The stylish ways in which the beards themselves are maintained is also proof of the creative nature of the beards men.
We owe it to the lumberjacks – these hardworking men deserve a worthy mention as torchbearers who never say die but work hard to achieve their targets. This is also true to most other beards men who have achieved tremendously in their careers. It's you who reveal to the world that beards are like an energy booster to a hard worker.
So there you are. All the 15 reasons are attributing the attractive qualities of beards men. There is no excuse for any serious man who wants to achieve that burning dream in their hearts to come out and go on to grow a beard. This status symbol is like a badge that stamps the authority which every other man needs. So my brothers, go now therefore and be encouraged and thrilled to be beards men. Never back down, beards men are attractive!

Q: Spacing in unusual `csquotes` style I am currently transcribing and editing some old letters by an ancestor. In some letters he used quotation marks for quotes or titles (books, poems, songs etc.), but occasionally he forgot to set a closing mark.
I want to keep my transcription as close to the original as possible -- meaning that all my additions to the text should be marked --, and of course I want to keep using csquotes for handling quotations. Fortunately, it is quite easy to define a new quotation style with an emphasized closing quotation mark! However, I have problems with the spacing after a quotation, especially in cases where an inner ends immediately before an outer quote.
In the past, I could use \xspace even if it was followed by a closing quotation mark because I had included \csq@qclose@i in \xspaceaddexceptions-- but this doesn't seem to work with my new style.

The following paragraph has normal quotations:

\enquote{This is \enquote{an inner quote\xspace}followed by normal text, and that is \enquote{an inner quote ending together with the outer quote.\xspace}}There should be white space before this sentence.
\end{document}

So, how can I get rid of the white space between the inner and outer closing quotation marks without having to remove \xspace from my quote style?

A: You need to add \textins to \xspaceaddexceptions. The command will then be recognised by xpatch as not needing space before it.

Q: Assign normal float value to c++ cx array I defined an array "pointsarray" in c++ cx and I'm trying to assign a normal float value to it:
Definition:
bool getPoints(Platform::Array<float>^* pointsarray)

Assignment (in the function shown above):
pointsarray[0] = points[0].x;

Error Message:

A value of type ""float"" cannot be assigned to an entity of type ""Platform::Array< float, 1U> ^""

Is it possible to get a float value into a cx array (pointer)?

A: The * is unnecessary. You already declared pointsarray as a managed reference via ^. So use this:
bool getPoints(const Platform::Array<float>^ pointsarray)

Edit: use const according to: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh700131.aspx

When client code passes an array to a C++ method and the method does not modify it, the method accepts the array as a const Array^.


The POW/MIA Guitar | Bringing musicians together for a day of service to honor our veterans.
In the late fall of 2014, Harry Teuting, owner of Harry's Guitar shop in Raleigh, North Carolina, approached Marathon Jam founder and president John Santa with a proposition.
It seems Harry had acquired a Martin guitar, something not at all unusual for the owner of a music store. What made THIS guitar unique was that it was a special limited edition instrument made by Veterans at the CF Martin shop in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in honor of the POW and MIA soldiers of the United States military.
A solemn, and very striking, solid black instrument bearing the POW/MIA logo on the head stock, Harry could think of no better home for this fine instrument than with musicians who work so hard to serve Veterans.
John, of course, gratefully and enthusiastically ACCEPTED that guitar and the two set out to brain storm how to best put the guitar to USE within the group. It didn't take them long to hit upon the idea of awarding the guitar to a worthy musician who best exemplified service to Veterans and the ideals of the Marathon Jam unit motto, Curatus Per Musica.
The POW/MIA guitar is handled with white gloves, as in the military, while being cleaned and transferred to those who are then honored with the guitar.
Beginning at the annual 2015 Marathon Jam Fisher House fund raiser, and every year since, the POW/MIA guitar has been awarded to a deserving musician. That musician is tasked with being as visible as possible so Veterans all over the state have a chance to see, hold and PLAY that Special Edition guitar that was made for THEM.
At the end of year, the guitar RETURNS to the Marathon Jam Fisher House fund raiser and, with great ceremony, is respectfully passed on to the NEXT musician for another year of service.

Readex
News database and educational archive resource

NewsBank is a news database resource that provides archives of media publications as reference materials to libraries.
John Naisbitt, the author of the book Megatrends, founded NewsBank.[1] The company was launched in 1972.[2] NewsBank was bought from Naisbitt by Daniel S. Jones, who subsequently became its president.[1][2] Naisbitt left NewsBank in 1973.[3] In 1983, NewsBank acquired Readex.[4][5] With the completion of the merger, NewsBank had acquired one of the earliest organizations in America to archive microform.[4][5]
In 1986, NewsBank had one hundred employees in-house.[1] Another one hundred employees worked from home and traveled to the company's headquarters, bringing back newspapers to their residence from there, and then coming back to the company with indexed information on these publications.[1] The company's headquarters in 1986 was in New Canaan, Connecticut.[6]
Chris Andrews was brought on in 1986 as product manager for CD-ROM.[1] His job was to help the company transition from a paper format of delivery to libraries, so that its indexes and full-text articles were available in CD-ROM format.[7] The subscription price for this service initially was US$5,000 per library.[7] Visitors to libraries found that their search time was cut from 30 minutes using paper indexes to five minutes using CD-ROM.[7] NewsBank used an arbitrary selection process for determining which news articles the company considered worthy for archiving; it based their selection on articles that were more likely to be widely appealing to a larger potential audience of future researchers, not simply stories of regional interest.[3]
In 1992, NewsBank had difficulty providing its users with a method to search for information based upon a specific location. Newspaper results were listed by subject matter first and then subsequently by location. At the time, it indexed articles via microfiche from more than 400 media publications in the United States.[8] The company announced in 1993 a CD-ROM product indexing full text of 35 publications including The Christian Science Monitor, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[9]
In 1994, NewsBank was the only company providing researchers access to an index to periodical literature in the subject of theater with its NewsBank's Review of the Arts: Performing Arts on CD-ROM.[10] NewsBank started compiling the full text of articles related to the local economy of geographic areas and providing this information via CD-ROM to its clients in 1994.[11] The privately held company was cited by The Information Advisor as bringing in annual revenue of approximately $19 million, and employing a staff of 350 people.[11] By 1998, NewsBank provided indexes via CD-ROM to newspaper articles from over 450 cities in the United States.[12]
In 2001, NewsBank compiled the Foreign Broadcast Information Service index and made it available via CD-ROM.[13] NewsBank joined forces with Micromedia, Ltd., a division of IHS Canada, to help distribute its products in 2001.[14] In 2004 NewsBank maintained archival access to hundreds of media references since 1996.[15] In 2005, NewsBank was structured in a pay-for-use format, with access differentiated for different types of users including public libraries, public schools, as well as higher education settings.[16]
NewsBank reached an agreement in 2011 with The Daily Northwestern newspaper of Northwestern University to archive all of its historical publications.[17] The task archived more than 90,000 pages of material from the school.[17] It included a plan to archive not just The Daily Northwestern but also prior related publications from 1871 to 2000, and index the material so it could be keyword searchable on the Internet.[17] Dan Jones, President and CEO of NewsBank, had a prior relationship with the university, serving as a university trustee and president-elect of the Northwestern Alumni Association.[17]
In 2013, NewsBank provided users with its service Access World News, which Reference Skills for the School Librarian called the "world's largest full-text news database".[18] According to the book Communication and Language Analysis in the Public Sphere, in 2014 NewsBank contained "over 990 news sources, with each state in the U.S. represented, as well as national publications, television and radio programs."[19]
NewsBank's offerings include a Black Life in America archive.[20]
The 2004 book Reference Sources in History by Ronald H. Fritze, Brian E. Coutts, and Louis Andrew Vyhnanek wrote that: "NewsBank is one of the world's largest information providers."[4] In her book Journalism: A Guide to the Reference Literature (2004), Jo A. Cates said: "NewsBank is a massive database, the NewsFile Collection alone providing access to full text articles in more than 500 newspapers, wire services, and broadcasts."[21] The 2013 book Reference Skills for the School Librarian by authors Ann Marlow Riedling, Loretta Shake, and Cynthia Houston called NewsBank a "popular indexing series".[18] They pointed out that NewsBank provided access to "an easy-to-search database of articles, activities, and lesson plans for the elementary and middle grades, covering key issues and events in every subject area."[18]

Today when i was coming back from sunway pyramid i saw an accident. A motorcyclist fainted on the road so my friend stopped his car and went to help the casualty. We saw the motorcyclist was in unconscious condition so we didn't dare to move the casualty because our action might hurt the casualty.
My friend picked up his mobile phone and called the ambulance. The sad thing is we didn't know the hospital's phone number and no one at that place knew any hospital's phone number (this is very sad. so, next time pls store the hospital's, police and bomba station's number in ur mobile phone so that u can help other people when needed).
My friend called his friend and asked them for help to get the hospital's phone number. Finally he get the hospital University Malaya's phone number and he called and asked for the ambulance service. Do u know what happened?
We didn't see the ambulance come even after 30 minute.
what the hell, man?????? the accident happened at some where near sunway pyramid. Usually if drive from hospital to there is around 20-25 minute. Why can't the ambulance reach in time????? My friend called again after 30 minute and the operator said the ambulance is on the way and got stuck in a traffic jam on the way. At the moment is around 9:45 pm, do u believe that the Federal Highway is still busy with jam??? I felt the reason given by the operator is so ridiculous......... (I use the Federal highway to go back to PJ after helping the casualty so i am sure that the highway didn't have any jam).
Thank god the casualty became conscious while waiting the ambulance. Then we asked him to sit down from lying and try to move his body and he can move all his body part (this mean the casualty has not broken any bones in his body). The casualty rejected us when we suggested that we send him to hospital. So my friend was worried and accompanied him on the roadside and waited for the ambulance to come (that's why i said the ambulance didn't come after 30 minutes). At last the casualty rejected to go to the hospital and rode his motorclycle back.

All Basic books include a full-color cover, standard interior black & white formatting, an ISBN number, standard press release (with distribution), a PDF download option from your author webpage, and unlimited wholesale printing, fulfillment, and distribution via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Bertram, and others. You have your choice of over 15 formats, plus 10 free image insertions, 3 free rounds of galley revisions, and one-on-one support with your publishing consultant and author representative throughout the process. Plus Book Publishing Tip Sheets, the Book Marketing RoadMap, and the Marketing COACH.
The Basic offers standard book sizes like 5.5 x 8.5, and 6x9 in both paperback and laminated casebound.
A Bowker issued ISBN is a book industry requirement for distribution and retail sales. Every Basic package includes an ISBN and a barcode on the back cover of the book, with the option of adding your own Private Label ISBN if you prefer.
Another reason Outskirts Press is rated #1 is because our books look so professional, both on the outside and the inside. Every Basic package includes free standard interior book formatting by a real, live (and talented) human being.
Once your book is published, order your 6 free paperback author's copies, which includes free shipping within the continental United States. You can always order more at any time for your below-wholesale price in quantities as low as 5 at a time.
If the Ultimate is out of your budget, the Basic package is a great choice because it includes so much: better-than-industry-average royalties and more available options than anywhere else. Dollar for dollar, this is the best value in self-publishing anywhere (well, except for our Ultimate package).
We've analyzed the competition so you don't have to. The Basic is our second-best a la carte publishing package. Here are prices from four of our largest competitors for their second best a la carte packages. Why pay for options you may not need? Flexibility and customization: just two more reasons why Outskirts Press is rated #1.
Outskirts Press, and my representative, Lisa, are the definition of professional. I am Keith Mosher, author of On a Sphere's Edge. This was my first novel, but there are more to come. The publishing story, along with the writing, was a long and twisted path. I initially self-published as an ebook, and then as an audio book, knowing all along I had to get the novel in print. I did a good deal of research and opted for Outskirts Press, and I'm glad I did. The process was clear, clean, and effortless. Lisa and the rest of the team at Outskirts were helpful and accommodating, even when I requested some out-of-sequence changes to the cover. Thank you Outskirts Press.
All our covers are full-color, unless purposely requested/submitted by the author to be in black/white. All Basic interiors are black/white.

Why Carl's Jr. And Hardee's Made A Meal For "Call Of Duty: Black Ops III"
It's the first project of agency 72andSunny's new Brand Partnership Incubator, teaming up brands for mutual marketing benefit.
By Jeff Beer 2 minute Read
The first official burger for Call of Duty has just been announced as the Tex Mex Bacon Thickburger from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. It's part of the "Ultimate Care Package," a Call of Duty: Black Ops III combo meal, named as a nod to the dropped aid players receive in the game.
Launching on November 6, the combo is the crown jewel of a new partnership with Activision that marks Carl's Jr. and Hardee's biggest promotional tie-in, and Call of Duty's first ever in-game integration with a fast-food chain. Co.D gamers and burger enthusiasts can also win the "Take Out" in-game personalization pack that includes ketchup, mustard and extra pickles-themed weapon camo.
We've seen fast food combo movie tie-ins forever, but the time feels right for some of these to be targeted at the munchies-craving gamer masses. The partnership is also the first of agency 72andSunny's new Brand Partnership Incubator, that makes teaming brands for mutual marketing benefit an official agency offering.
72andSunny is no stranger to playing matchmaker. Over the last few years it has launched joint projects with Samsung and Jay Z, KSWISS and HBO's Eastbound & Down, as well as hooking up Google with both Target and the White House.
Agency partner and chief strategy officer Matt Jarvis says these past projects convinced the agency to make partnerships an permanent part of the creative mix. "We've done it enough times now to see that it creates a lot of value for our clients, and that as a company with strategic and creative capabilities, we're well suited to put ideas on the table that can actually bring a partnership to fruition," says Jarvis. "Most traditional 'dealmakers' can't do that."
The agency will be working with existing clients–like Activision and Carl's Jr.–as well as uncovering opportunities with new brands. Pricing of the Brand Partnership Incubator includes a flat connection fee, and back end participation in any partnerships that go to market.
Jarvis says partnerships like this are an opportunity to pool resources to make a bigger impression on more people. "The advantage is being able to help brands enter cultural conversations outside of their category, where both parties borrow from the other to do something they couldn't afford to do on their own with greater reach and a bigger overall impact," he says. "As marketers, the fiercest competition we face is for people's attention. The right partnership can get an audience to lean forward and engage in ways that a single-brand effort does not. It has to be authentic and enhancing to both parties, but that's a strategic and creative challenge that we relish."
The challenge is to find where the two brands' interests meet. "This takes an understanding of both parties, their quirks, goals and aspirations," says Jarvis. "As a company, finding this intersection is something we have a passion for and a long track record of success."

Even though HIPAA does not specifically rule out sharing Protected Health Information (PHI) by text, a system of administrative, physical and technical safety measures has to be in place to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of PHI when it is "in transit" – i.e. being cd between medical professionals or covered entities.
Typical SMS messages – the sort of message typically sent from one mobile device to another – are not HIPAA compliant. This is due to the fact that they lack encryption, there are no tools to prevent a text message being sent to a wrong number, text messages are stored indefinitely on service suppliers' servers, and text messages sent in plain text can be accessed.
Additionally, mobile devices containing PHI frequently go missing or are stolen – potentially exposing PHI to unauthorized access if data on the devices is read. Due to this, without taking appropriate precautions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of PHI on the move, the only way an affirmative reply that could be given to the question "is text messaging HIPAA compliant" is if the text message did not include any PHI at all.
SMS messages are only one text messaging solution. There are now many text messaging services in use such as Facebook Messenger, Skype, and WhatsApp. With WhatsApp, all messages are encrypted, which meets certain HIPAA compliant messaging requirements, but not all of them.
In the case of WhatsApp, messages are encrypted on the sender's phone and remain encrypted until they land in the receiver's device. The messages are broadcast through a secure, encrypted tunnel, satisfying HIPAA encryption requirements.
However, ePHI sent using WhatsApp is not stored in a safe manner and the access controls used are not up to the standards required by HIPAA. For example, if your phone was to go missing, unless other security controls have been used on the device, an unauthorized person would be able to access your messages, and any ePHI in your WhatsApp account. HIPAA compliant messaging is not just about encrypting data in transit. There must be proper access controls, audit controls, and secure storage for messages containing ePHI.
A possible way to address the "is text messaging HIPAA compliant" issue is to adapt a secure messaging system. Secure messaging works in a similar way to text messaging in that users can type out a message, add an attachment and send it to a col-worker. However, security mechanisms within the secure messaging solution put in place the necessary safeguards to ensure the integrity of PHI on the move.
Messages are encrypted, they can only be shared with colleagues within a covered entity´s communications network, the messages are held on a separate, secure server and administrative controls allow the remote retraction and deletion of messages if a mobile device goes missing or is stolen. As a result of the ID authentication process, administrators can also PIN-lock apps downloaded to a mobile device.
Other mechanisms are in place to assign message lifespans to communications sent via a secure messaging solution, while users are automatically logged out of their secure messaging apps after a period of inactivity to stop authorized access to PHI. All user activity is reviewed and logged to oversee how users are sending PHI in text messages and to ensure that secure messaging policies are being adhered to.
Along with to ensuring the integrity of PHI in transit, there are massive benefits associated with implementing a solution allow HIPAA compliant text messaging. The monitoring of user activity plus features such as delivery alerts and read receipts ensure message accountability. This in turn minimizes phone tag and accelerates the communication cycle.
Sending and receiving PHI "on the go" helps on-call doctors and community nurses, while in-house medics can also receive laboratory reports, wound images and test results with secure messaging. A group messaging feature allows collaboration, and can be used to speed up hospital admissions and patient discharges – saving time, driving up productivity and enhancing patient satisfaction.
Further advantages can lead to the integration of a secure messaging solution with an EMR. The role of updating patient notes can be shared among medical workers, consultants can prioritize their workflows by arranging their EMR alerts and – according to study conducted in Philadelphia – "advanced EMRs" lessen medication errors (30%) and patient safety incidents (27%).


When it comes to the art of drinking, it's a well known fact that dogs are not as refined as humans. Fair enough, they don't fall off bar stools or collapse face-first into kebabs. But they do tend to slop water all over the place with that lovable lapping technique. So instead of sending pooch to finishing school, why not invest in a Road Refresher Dog Bowl.

Saint George and Demetrios - Byzantine Icon
[BYZ_st225-2422]
Iconographer: Liondas Chr.
Saint Demetrius was a Thessalonian, a most pious son of pious and noble parents, and a teacher of the Faith of Christ. When Maximian first came to Thcssalonica in 190, he raised the Saint to the rank of Duke of Thessaly. But when it was discovered that the Saint was a Christian, he was arrested and kept bound in a bath-house. While the games were under way in the city, Maximian was a spectator there. A certain friend of his, a barbarian who was a notable wrestler, Lyaeus by time, waxing haughty because of the height and strength of his body, boasted in the stadium and challenged the citizens to a contest with him. All that fought with him were defeated.

Drumming In The '70s
With Marriott, Frampton And Humble Pie
Rebeat Books / Hal Leonard
ISBN: 9781-8884048-13-3
Jerry Shirley will be most remembered by anyone with the slightest interest in "Classic Rock Music" as the drummer in one of the late '60s/early '70s biggest success stories – Humble Pie.
In early 1969 Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton had both become increasingly tired of the teenybopper status they had gained in The Small Faces and The Herd. To break away from the pop format they teamed together and formed Humble Pie. Jerry Shirley was chosen to drum in the new band. He had just turned 17. Along with bassist Greg Ridley, and managers Andrew Loog Oldham and Dee Anthony, the Pie started a six-year journey that stormed the US and defined Arena Rock – bigger sound, bigger contracts, and bigger parties.
Along the way Jerry meets with future legends that make for a star-studded bio and rare glimpse into the rock music industry. Written in his own voice and with a wicked musician sense of humour, the drummer details the vibrant scene that created the explosive sound of heavy-rock.
He explains how sessions were conducted by iconic engineers like Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer, describes his session work with Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) and George Harrison (The Beatles) and tells amusing tales like drum shopping with The Who's Keith Moon. What was it like to perform a sold-out show at Shea Stadium, play for 250,000 in Hyde Park, charter a private jet for tour, record the trend-setting live record at the Fillmore East (that spawned the FM radio staple 'I Don't Need No Doctor'), get hyped for the stage by Dee Anthony, and deal with the drugs and excesses of this inhibitive era of rock? The answers are all here.
Jerry's account of his professional and personal relationship with the legendary Steve Marriott is particularly noteworthy, as it's perhaps the most intimate first-hand look to date at the celebrated singer/ songwriter/guitarist, who died in a house fire in 1991.
The 336-page paperback also includes numerous photos; a foreword by Peter Frampton; a "Testimonials and Love Letters" section, with contributions from more than two dozen renowned musicians and music-business executives, including David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Chad Smith (The Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Kenney Jones (The Small Faces / The Who), Andrew Loog Oldham (Rolling Stones manager / Immediate Records), and Gene Simmons (Kiss).
For anyone who wants to trace the journey from provincial beat band to Immediate Records and then being catapulted into the hallowed halls of British Rock Royalty at the dawn of the '70s, this book transplants you back to the very heart (and best seat) of these heady, creative and exciting days.

Andy Serkis Reprises Caesar in New Planet of Apes Trailer (watch!)
Keith Girard
Andy Serkis reprises Caesar the ape in the upcoming 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He looks none too happy.
Andy Serkis is back in his monkey suit, so to speak, in a new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi fantasy "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." No monkeying around this time, the apes are about to take over in an all-or-nothing battle with humans.
The movie is a follow-up to 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," a taut, well-acted movie that was a surprise blockbuster, grossing $482 million worldwide.
Directed by Rupert Wyatt and starring James Franco, Freida Pinto and Serkis, the movie was a reboot of the campy 1970s "Planet of the Apes" movies. There were five in all, plus a Tim Burton remake in 2001.
This time around, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is being directed by Matt Reeves with Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke and Keri Russell.	Judy Greer, Terry Notary and Karin Konoval will play apes.
The special effects alone, make the movie worth watching. As for the plot, the picture picks up where "Rise" left off.
Caesar and his genetically altered intelligent cohorts have escaped to the dense forests around San Francisco. The human population is devastated by a deadly virus.
Human survivors see the apes as a threat, and their uneasy co-existence starts to break down as the apes grow more powerful and assert themselves as the dominant species.
The trailer opens with scenes of a devastated San Francisco as a voiceover exhorts humans to take on the apes. A fierce looking Ceasar looks ready to rumble.
