Fatal beating of Eritrean prompts soul-searching in Israel
Originally published October 19, 2015 at 7:06 am Updated October 19, 2015 at 7:48 pm
JOSEF FEDERMAN
JERUSALEM (AP) — The death of an Eritrean migrant who was shot and beaten by a mob that mistakenly believed he was a Palestinian attacker set off a round of soul-searching Monday amid the jittery atmosphere sweeping Israel in a wave of unrest.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the vigilantism. Some critics accused Israel's leaders of fostering the charged climate, while others called for the swift prosecution of the crazed mob.
"It is a disgrace to Israeli society, and those that carried out this lynching need to be found and brought to justice," said Yaakov Amidror, Netanyahu's former national security adviser.
"Even if it was the terrorist himself, by the way, after he was shot, after he was neutralized and lying on the floor, you need to be an animal to torment him," he told Israel Radio.
Nine Israelis have been killed in the past month in the attacks, mostly stabbings, on city streets. At least 41 Palestinians have been killed — including 20 identified by Israeli authorities as attackers; the rest were slain in clashes with Israeli forces.
Amid the seemingly random attacks, Israelis have stocked up on mace and pepper spray, and some public officials are openly carrying personal weapons and encouraging the public to do the same. Security has been increased, and especially in Jerusalem.

The violence has led to fear and sometimes outright panic.
Following an attack at Jerusalem's bus station last week, a swarm of security forces and armed civilians ran along a central road in search of a second assailant following a false alarm. Elsewhere, an Israeli man stabbed a fellow Jew after mistaking his dark-skinned victim for an Arab. Palestinians in Jerusalem say they are afraid of being shot if perceived to be a threat.
But Sunday night's mob scene at the bus station in the southern city of Beersheba took things to a new level.
The violence began when an Arab with a knife and gun killed a soldier, stole his weapon and opened fire, wounding nine people before being killed by police.
In the mayhem, Habtom Zerhom, an Eritrean migrant in his late 20s, ran into the station to seek cover, police said. A security guard, mistaking Zerhom for an attacker, shot him.
As the young man lay on the floor, a mob cursed him, kicked him and hit him with objects. Security camera video showed Zerhom in a pool of blood as he was rammed with a bench and kicked in the head by passers-by, while an Israeli officer and a few bystanders tried to protect him. Zerhom later died at a hospital.
"It doesn't matter if it was a terrorist or not. It was a man lying on the ground that couldn't move. I couldn't sleep at night from seeing him, his blood," Meir Saka, a passer-by who tried to protect the Eritrean, tearfully told Channel 10 TV.
An Israeli identified only by the first name Dudu told Israeli Army Radio that he regretted participating in the attack.
"If I would have known he wasn't a terrorist, believe me, I would have protected him like I protect myself," he said. "I didn't sleep well at night. I feel disgusted."
Meeting lawmakers from his Likud Party, Netanyahu condemned the vigilante violence and sent his condolences to Zerhom's family.
"We are a law-abiding country," he said. "No one should take the law into their own hands."
Police said they were reviewing the security video to identify the mob. As of late Monday, no arrests had been announced.
Critics said the shooting was the result of the charged atmosphere. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, for instance, has openly called on all licensed gun owners, like himself, to carry their weapons to help back up overstretched security forces.
"The death of an asylum seeker at the hands of security guards and an angry mob is a tragic but foreseeable outgrowth of a climate in which some Israeli politicians encourage citizens to take the law into their own hands," said Sari Bashi, director for Israel and the Palestinian areas of Human Rights Watch.
Hanan Ashrawi, a top Palestinian official, accused Israeli leaders of whipping up the public.
"They are creating a mentality of lynch mobs and of course feeding the culture of hate and racism," she said.
Others questioned whether Zerhom's ethnicity had been a factor. "Just because of his skin color," said a headline in the Yediot Ahronot daily.
There are about 34,000 Eritrean migrants in Israel. They say they are fleeing persecution and conflict in their homeland, one of the world's worst violators of human rights.
Israel says they are merely economic migrants looking for work, and it refuses to give them refugee status. But it does not deport them because of the danger they face at home.
Many Israelis fear the influx threatens their country's Jewish character, with one right-wing lawmaker famously calling migrants a "cancer." Africans frequently complain of racial discrimination in Israel.
"The young Eritrean man is clear testimony to foreignness. He sustained critical injuries in a war not his own. Alone," Danny Adino Ababa, an Israeli journalist of Ethiopian origin, wrote in Yediot.
Zerhom worked at a plant nursery in southern Israel and had been in Beersheba to renew a work visa, said his employer, Sagi Malachi.
"He was a modest man, quiet, and he tried to do his job as best as he could," Malachi told The Associated Press. "It is heart-breaking. All in all, I think that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
A friend, Goitom Haile, said Zerhom had worked in various farming jobs for four years. He had saved his money and dreamed of returning to Eritrea to reunite with his family in the next few months, Haile said.
"He was a good man, like a brother," he said.
The current unrest began last month with clashes at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, a hilltop compound revered by both Jews and Muslims. The spot is known to Jews as the Temple Mount, home to the biblical Temples, and today is the location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third-holiest site and an important symbol for Palestinians.
The clashes were fueled by rumors among Palestinians that Israel is trying to change a longstanding status quo that allows Jews to visit but not pray on the mount. Israel denies the allegations and has accused Palestinian leaders and social media of incitement.
Palestinians say the violence stems from anger over the Jerusalem holy site and nearly 50 years of occupation, as well as a lack of hope.
Jibril Rajoub, a top Palestinian official, praised the Palestinian attackers.
"These are individual heroic acts. I appreciate them. I salute everyone that has done this. We bow in front of them," he told Palestine TV.
At the same time, he called for passive resistance. "Do you know what the meaning of having tens of thousands sitting in the streets without throwing a stone? We want the world to hear our voice," Rajoub said.
This story has been corrected to show the transliteration of the Eritrean migrant's first name is Habtom, not Haptom.
Associated Press writers Yaniv Zohar in Ein Habesor, Israel, and Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah contributed to this report.

Developer plans 18-story apartment building in Five Points
Burl Rolett June 8, 2016 1
Rendering is by RNL Designs pulled from Denver public records.
With plans for a new, 18-story Five Points tower moving through the city, a major developer has scooped up a block of Welton Street.
Lennar Multifamily Communities bought one-half city block at 21st and Welton streets for $5.5 million last week. The company plans an 18-story apartment tower with 329 residences, according to the most recent set of plans filed with the city.
The site, currently a surface parking lot, covers about 1.15 acres along Welton Street spanning from 21st Street to 22nd Street. A 2201 Welton, LLC, which is registered to Denver developer Howard Witkin, sold the property to Lennar.
That company bought the real estate for $3.78 million in 2014.
Lennar proposes to build a tower with more than 345,000 square feet of living space and about 4,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Plans also show a fifth-floor pool deck and patio.
RNL Design is the architect. Kimley-Horn and Associates is the engineer. Lennar's Scott Johnson did not return a phone message seeking comment by press time Tuesday.
The Five Points tower is one of at least two jumbo apartment projects Lennar is working on in downtown Denver. The company also bought a 1.66-acre site at 24th and Blake streets, the former home of River North Brewery, with plans for more than 200 apartments.
Lennar's building may resemble neighboring downtown towers to the west because of its height.
Trammell Crow Residential is planning a 12-story apartment building on Welton Street's 2200 block, just one block from Lennar's site. Continuing northeast, Century Real Estate Advisors has 223 new apartments under construction at 23rd and Welton. And Palisade Partners is putting 82 more apartments and 14 townhomes on the 2400 block.
Meanwhile, firms registered to Witkin still have property holdings along Welton Street. Two Witkin-managed LLCs own the entire south side and the majority of the north side of Welton Street between 22nd and 23rd streets.
Lennar's project includes 329 units, ground-floor retail and a pool at 21st and Welton streets.

Ask Sam Farmer: How much does an NFL uniform weigh?
Former Chargers center Nick Hardwick, blocking at right in 2012, said "it normally takes assistance to get in and out of the pads."

How much does an NFL uniform weigh?
Ralph Miller, Fort Collins, Colo.
Farmer: That's just the kind of weird question I appreciate. To check this, I consulted Rams equipment manager Brendan Burger, who kindly put a helmet and shoulder pads on a scale. These are rough estimates, and they differ depending on the size and manufacturer. A helmet weighs between 4.25 and 4.75 pounds, shoulder pads are 4 to 5 pounds, a game jersey is about a pound, as are the pants, and players might wear about a pound of additional pads. Not terribly surprising, and maybe even a little lighter than I expected.
To gain a little more insight on uniforms, I turned to former NFL center Nick Hardwick for his thoughts. He noted the difference between a player's game uniform, and what he might wear for a full-pads practice during the week. With offensive and defensive linemen in particular, they wear their game jerseys so tight they're practically painted on. That way, no one can use the loose fabric to pull them this way or that.
Cowboys' Drew Pearson shares inside info on original 'Hail Mary' touchdown pass
Former Dallas Cowboys star receiver Drew Pearson shares inside info on original 'Hail Mary' touchdown pass that doomed Vikings in 1975 playoff game.
"The game jersey is so tight that even without shoulder pads, it's hard to get on," Hardwick said. "You're put in there like a hand-stuffed sausage, especially the lumpier guys. The jerseys Velcro to the shoulder pads, so there's not even an iota where a guy can grab a guy by his jersey and throw him down. That's the real issue, a guy can manipulate your body the way he wants to instead of just beating you with straight technique.
"It normally takes assistance to get in and out of the pads. Getting in and out is a Houdini act."
For Hardwick, the most elaborate part of his uniform, if you will, was wrapping his hands. He did that the way a boxer might.
"The whole fear is that you're just going to shred your fingers and tear ligaments," he said. "I have so many torn ligaments in my fingers. But the real fear is that you're going to hurt your thumb. If you tear ligaments in your thumb — if that happens, you can't play; your season's going to be done."
One of his quirkier uniform memories since his days with the San Diego Chargers was that fullback Lorenzo Neal wore two pairs of shoulder pads stacked on top of each other. Now that's a weighty proposition.
I was wondering if you could explain the rules for how football players can celebrate plays on the field. I remember times when just spiking the ball resulted in a penalty but after several seasons of protests, the players were finally allowed to spike after a touchdown. Then the scoring player was permitted to dance and spike after scoring. Now it seems that the entire team can do anything from striking a silly pose to a full halftime dance from any big play such as interceptions or touchdowns. I'm just curious when did the league give them carte blanche on celebrations and are there any limitations to it?
Tim Berreth, Santa Clarita
Farmer: The so-called No Fun League loosened its tie in May 2107 after league executives spent the spring talking to players, coaches, officials and fans about ways to relax the rigid celebration policy. That cleared the way for group celebrations, and for using the football as a prop.
But everything in moderation.
"We want to make sure that sportsmanship is a big factor here in the way that we implement this," commissioner Roger Goodell said at the time. "And of course nobody wanted to see anything that was either violent or sexually offensive to people, and everybody has a little different line there."

Will the Lakers or Clippers win an NBA title next year?
A Rams Super Bowl bummer, a boxing stunner and more
That means Rams receiver Brandin Cooks can't resume the celebration he had in New England of pantomiming an archer who shoots an arrow into the crowd. That is, after all, a weapon.
Brandon Staley, coming off his first season as the Rams' defensive coordinator, has agreed to become the new head coach of the Chargers.

Accident analysis: Factors contributing to a ureteric injury during deep endometriosis surgery
R. Schonman*, C. De Cicco, R. Corona, D. Soriano, P. R. Koninckx
Objective: To analyse factors associated with a ureteric injury. Design: Retrospective accident analysis. Setting: Deep endometriosis surgery in a tertiary referral centre. Sample: Video recording of a surgical accident was analysed by six gynaecologists. Methods: A 26-year-old woman underwent laparoscopy for deep endometriosis that involves the rectosigmoid and left ureter. Post operatively left ureter transection was identified and corrected by laparoscopy. Interventions were recorded and reviewed independently. Main outcome measures: Changes in surgical behaviour that could be measured were identified using the video recording. Results: During the intervention, the periods of uncontrolled bleeding (P < 0.0001) and the duration of laser activation (P = 0.013) increased progressively. Simultaneous laser activation and bipolar coagulation only occurred at the end of surgery (seven episodes). Fatigue could not be measured. Conclusion: Unconscious acceleration of surgery, possibly as a consequence of fatigue, is suggested as a contributing factor for an error of judgement.

Thank you for your desire to adopt a green lifestyle! Our Earth isn't getting any younger. While some environmental damage is reversible, lethal diseases and animal extinction are not. Here are five home services increasingly turning green. Landscaping Eco-friendly commercial landscapers use methods that save water, eliminate harmful chemicals, protect wildlife, and reduce pollution of soil, water, and air. They also minimize maintenance. Water Conservation Fountains and waterfalls are refreshing landscape elements. Landscapers install fixtures that recycle water. In plantings, crews group vegetation with similar water needs into separate zones. They also use drought-resistant native vegetation. Having adapted to local conditions, these plants require less water and care. Ground covers, in particular, reduce evaporation from bare soil. Landscapers also save water by installing automatic sprinklers with rain sensors. Controller devices further adjust watering according to the seasons. Or a landscaper can manually adjust a sprinkler system every other month. To minimize water loss through evaporation, technicians program sprinklers to activate in the early morning. Alternatively, you can have a landscaper replace natural grass with synthetic turf. Quality artificial turf has the same lush appearance and soft texture of live grass. Plus, you avoid the maintenance requirements of aerating, watering, mowing, fertilizing, weeding, and edging grass. If you keep a garden, landscapers can install a drip irrigation system. Water droplets ooze through perforated hoses, directing water to plant roots. Overhead sprinkling wastes water by delivering it to plant surfaces, where it quickly evaporates. Spreading mulch over bare soil conserves water, inhibits weeds, and reduces erosion. A landscaper can offer you several mulch options, such as wood chips, bark, gravel, coconut fiber, and recycled tires. Eco-conscious landscapers source wood mulch from pruned branches and bark. Eco-friendly landscapers also help the environment in the following ways: Pest Control. Native plants are more resistant to pests than foreign species, reducing the need for pesticides. They also attract beneficial insects and birds that eat harmful bugs. Eco-conscious landscapers use organic insect oils to kill pests in their young stages. Natural systemic soil drenches target pests, leaving the ecosystem unharmed. Plus, they only need to be applied once yearly. Fertilization. Chemical fertilizers are high in phosphorus which leaches into groundwater, lakes, and streams. Phosphorus is toxic to aquatic life. Phosphate-free fertilizers eliminate this risk. Organic fertilizers release slowly and last longer than chemicals. They activate soil microbes, fighting off disease and improving soil health. One type of organic fertilizer used is untreated, composted grass clippings. Pest Control Pest control companies like American Pest Control Inc are taking a holistic approach to eradicating insects, using nontoxic chemicals and practices. Employing a dual strategy, they address both infestations and their causes. Pheromone Traps. Pheromones are compounds insects secrete, by which they communicate. Synthetic versions of these chemicals are applied to lures, drawing pests into sticky traps. Fly Lights. These devices use ultraviolet light to attract flying pests to a glue board. On sophisticated models, you can vary the UV output, from 25 to 100 watts. Sticky Boards. These traps have adhesive surfaces to which crawling insects stick. Technicians place sticky boards in hot spots where pests congregate. Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). These synthetic proteins thwart or inhibit insect life cycles. Since pests don't reach maturity, they can't reproduce. IGRs are specific to insect species. For example, one designed for fleas prevents eggs and larvae from reaching adulthood. A roach IGR makes it impossible for the bug to shed its exoskeleton, a necessary stage in development. Repellents. Natural dusts contain pyrethrum flowers and silica. When pests contact these substances, their bodies desiccate. Repellents target ants, silverfish, fleas, cockroaches, and bedbugs. Sanitation. The goal is to hamper insects' access to food and water. Try to clean up spills promptly, keep lids on trash containers, and regularly remove garbage from your property. Also, eliminate sources of standing water, and repair roof and plumbing leaks. Maintenance. Ensure that screens fit tightly and windows and doors are securely shut. Weather stripping helps. Close cracks in your home's exterior with weather-resistant sealant. Carpet Cleaning Companies typically use toxic chemicals, releasing fumes and leaving residues. Since we're exposed to them through our noses, mouths, skin, and eyes, they enter our bloodstreams. Side effects include dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Some solvents are potentially carcinogenic for the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system. Additionally, rinse water with poisonous chemicals is dumped into drains, killing our soil, streams, rivers, and oceans. Eco-conscious carpet cleaners use natural products, such as extracts of grapefruit, lemon, and orange. Carbonating bubbles lift soil from carpets. These products are free of noxious chemicals, making them safer for people and pets. Commercial operators also use them to clean rugs and upholstery. Natural carpet cleaners effectively eliminate pet odors, dust mites, spots, dirt, and grime. Safe products are green-certified by The Carpet and Rug Institute. Home Construction Each year, producing concrete releases tons of carbon emissions into the Earth's atmosphere. One reason is that processing the limestone needed involves heating it to 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Mining virgin sand and gravel for concrete depletes riverbeds, beaches, and land quarries. Eco-friendly building contractors swap concrete for sustainable building materials. They can incorporate them into your cabinets, counters, floors, walls, insulation, and roof. You may be familiar with some products, such as reclaimed lumber, recycled glass, and re-purposed plastic. However, exciting options now in use may be new to you. Straw Bales. Compressed straw forms interior walls. It can stand in for concrete, plaster, wood, fiberglass, stone, and the mineral rock gypsum. When sealed, straw bales are highly insulating. Rammed Earth. Mechanical tampers compact soil inside wooden forms, creating strong exterior walls. HempCrete. Hemp fibers are reinforced with lime, yielding blocks with the strength of concrete. Being lightweight, less energy is needed to transport them to home sites. Bamboo. This woody grass is stronger than concrete and brick. Since it grows so rapidly, bamboo is an easily-renewed building resource. Most commercial bamboo comes from China, where it's cultivated without chemicals. Bamboo is used for house frames and floors. Mycelium. Mushroom and fungus roots are trained to grow around pulverized straw in molds. The resultant lightweight, durable material is then cut into blocks. Ferrock. This material is made from waste steel dust and recycled glass. When hardening, the iron within steel absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide. Silica from glass further reinforces iron. The resultant product has more compressive strength than concrete. For this reason, ferrock is nicknamed "green cement" and "carbon dioxide sponge." Ferrock also resists cracking. It has more "flexural strength," the ability to withstand stress before bending and breaking. Ferrock saves steel dust and glass bottles from ending up in landfills. By trapping atmospheric carbon dioxide, less is available to create a warming greenhouse effect. Here you can learn more about why ferrock rocks! AshCrete. This product consists of 97 percent recycled materials. One of them is fly ash, a residue of coal-burning power plants. Traditionally, most fly ash ends up in landfills. However, when mixed with lime and water, the resulting compound is a tough alternative to cement. Carbon Concrete. This thermoplastic is made from a byproduct of oil refining. It's primarily used in flooring. Housecleaning A reputable housecleaning service employs well-trained, experienced, industry-certified technicians. They use state-of-the-art equipment that can handle large-scale, difficult jobs. Examples are cleaning your ductwork, scrubbing baseboards, and polishing windows. A green cleaning service fosters a healthy home environment. You aren't exposed to toxic chemicals in the air or on surfaces. There's less risk of developing respiratory illness. Eco-friendly cleaners reduce smog-producing gases. Green-certified products contain benign, effective natural ingredients that are safe for people and pets. When comparison shopping for a green cleaning contractor, look for proof that employees are bonded and insured. Trustworthy companies have extensive screening procedures, including criminal checks and drug testing. Ask for references from clients the companies serve. Also preferable is a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Additionally, choose a company with green certification, such as that awarded by Green Seal. Products should be free of phosphates and phthalates. Vacuums should have HEPA filters and be endorsed by The Carpet and Rug Institute and American Lung Association. Housecleaning employees should also use dual-chamber buckets and microfiber cloths and mops. The Green Bandwagon Our world needs more eco-conscious people like you! Now you know even more about home services for green pest control, landscaping, carpet cleaning, construction, and housecleaning. Share your knowledge with neighbors, family, and friends. Get them on the bandwagon to keep greening efforts moving!
Green homes help reduce environmental damage and waste commonly caused by standard home construction and life habits. They also offer homeowners many additional benefits. They can lower utility and grocery bills, improve your home's value and make your overall life better. To reap these benefits and more, consider the following green home additions: Composting Room Composting bins turn plant-based waste materials from cooking and gardening into nutrient-rich fertilizer. A composting room is an extension of this idea designed to replace the traditional detached "garden shed" with a more efficient setup that allows you easy access to compost and garden supplies throughout the year even during cold weather. Since gases and odors are a byproduct of composting, you only need to run an attached ventilation duct from the enclosed bin to the outside through a wall or the ceiling to make this room work. Automatic Systems A lot of electricity and water loss occurs because homeowners often forget to turn off manual home systems like indoor and outdoor lights, sprinklers and thermostats. An automatic control system utilizes software and/or sensors to optimize usage. For example, an automatic system with light-detection sensors might turn on outdoor lights at night and then turn them off immediately in the morning or turn off indoor lights that you typically forget to turn off after a certain time at night. Green Roofing Homeowners can enjoy flower and vegetable gardens, safeguard the environment and save on heating, cooling and grocery costs without using up nearby land with green roofing. A "green" or "vegetative" roof turns an often unused home area into a garden paradise. The advantages of green roofing go beyond energy efficiency and fresh fruits and vegetables. You also receive greater roof and ceiling leak protection, higher local oxygen contribution and reduced chemical and noise pollution and government tax breaks. Nontoxic Materials Many standard home building and furniture materials, such as plastics, formaldehyde-containing fiberboard and adhesives, release toxic gases or break down into toxic dust over time that damage the environment and cause sick buildings syndrome. The "addition" of environmentally-friendly materials that release fewer harmful volatile organic chemicals after the removal of toxic ones can both improve your health and increase the value of your home. If your home is not already a green dwelling, it is time to do your part for the environment, yourself and your community. Start with one of these four green additions to improve your world and standard of living.
In recent years, going green has not only become a proper movement, but a whole way of life, and you only need to look around yourself to see why it is so important. We have become hungry for power, and we are recklessly treating nature, spending all the resources it has to offer, without even caring about whether that is sustainable or not. We read all the time that members of endangered species are dying out, we feel sad and maybe click a like, then we continue doing what we do best – ruining this planet. But what can you do, practically do, so that you decrease your influence on this planet and maybe even help out? Going green is used everywhere, yet only a few people know what that really means, and it is truly a whole way of life, which everyone will have to get accustomed to, or we will all face dire consequences. Buy Smart and Buy Green Many people do not even know what green means, but it is a whole concept which is created to define something that is renewable, sustainable and overall - eco-friendly. This is especially important when you visit the store where you are surrounded by products that you need, but not everything is that simple. It is your responsibility to buy those products that are produced by clean technologies and services, which do not harm the environment and which dedicate a percentage of their earnings to develop new ways of protecting nature or repairing the damage that has been done. All the chemicals that you buy for cleaning or for any other purpose need to be in accordance with some environmental standards, and to be safe for you to use at the same time. When it comes to food, it is important to avoid buying food on which a lot of pesticides were used since they can contaminate not only food and water, but also all the animal life around the area where they were used. They can also have negative effects on humans, too, so, always read the label, and try to buy local groceries, produced on nearby farms. Greenify Your Home Making your home greener is important because of two reasons. The first one is obvious, you will be doing a favor to your children, and their children, while the second one is from a financial point of view. If you try and use green technologies, you will be able to save a lot of money, especially when it comes to heating and cooling your home. If you use certified green appliances for doing that, your electricity bill will go down significantly, and after that, it is important to switch from incandescent light bulbs to their more energy-efficient cousins – compact fluorescent lamps. Even having LED lamps installed is a good idea, as they spend around 80% less energy, and offer the same amount of lights. When it comes to the rest of your home, it would be important to have all the doors and windows properly sealed so that your home stays at a desired temperature. Insulation should also be added to walls, ceilings and attics as a great addition. It would be wise to first remove all mold from your home - as it can not only present a health hazard to you and all the other occupants - before installing any kind of insulation. Other good ideas that you can use for your own home is to have a water barrel installed so that you can reuse rainwater as a free source, and during summer, you can even heat it up and have hot water anytime. Reuse, Reduce and Recycle These three Rs are extremely important for you to both save money and protect nature. There are many things that we buy only to use once and never again, so why not borrow it? This is a simple example of how reusing something can be a much better solution. Do not waste anything, and think carefully before printing out anything – just imagine how many trees we could have saved if we printed only what was truly necessary. These small changes can mean a lot for the environment, and you only need a little dedication to change your life for the better.


I cherish the serenity obtained from concentration, during the process of creation. I'm alone, the knife and lathe are on my field of view.
Once one approaches an essence, it feels like it cuts ones breath, sensing the heart stopping. It's a noble emotion.
When one approaches the shape's essence, reflexes its sounds and the conscious harmony appears. I don't hear its sounds, I feel its sounds.

Installing a rubber liner at the base of your shower protects your subfloor and floor joists from water damage.
When you take a shower, the floor becomes inundated with hot, pounding water. That's why it's important to take care that the floor is completely waterproof before you install a new shower. Grouted ceramic tiles and the typical 2-inch cement substrate beneath are water-resistant, not waterproof -- which means that they will allow water to infiltrate underneath if you don't follow the right steps. A flexible rubber liner contains the water in the shower pan so it can flow down the drain rather than damaging the wood subfloor and leaking into any rooms below.
Measure the length and width of the shower pan, using a tape measure.
Make a pencil mark 9 inches from the base of the shower on each of the studs within the shower enclosure.
Use a utility knife to cut the rubber liner to 18 inches more than both measured dimensions.
Lay the rubber liner in place, taking care to center it within the shower stall. Smooth the material flat onto the base, and then pull the edges up to align with the pencil mark. Staple the liner into place on the center stud of the left, right and back walls of the shower stall.
Fold the corners inward toward the shower's back wall. Apply a liquid shower liner adhesive to the resulting flap -- using the brush found in the can's lid -- and press it into the corner of the liner at the back wall.
Staple the upper portion of the liner to each stud in the wall.
Slice a tight hole over the drain opening with the utility knife.
Mount the clamping ring into the drain opening according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a silicon caulk/sealant around the ring.
Instead of staples, you can also nail the liner to the studs.
Do not use the adhesive in an unventilated room. Allow the adhesive and the caulk to dry thoroughly before spreading cement over the liner.

Die Dorfkirche Milow ist eine Feldsteinkirche in Milow im Landkreis Ludwigslust-Parchim in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Dehio schätzt die Bauzeit auf die zweite Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts. Da Milow bis 1952 zu Brandenburg gehörte, liegt die Kirche im Territorium der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz. Die Kirchengemeinde Milow, die 2010 76 Mitglieder zählte, gehört zum Pfarrsprengel Pröttlin des Kirchenkreises Prignitz im Sprengel Potsdam.

Baubeschreibung
Der breite Feldsteinsaal hat nachträglich markante Eckabstützungen erhalten. Im Ostgiebel befinden sich drei Lanzettfenster, die ursprünglich die gleiche Höhe hatten. Der Westgiebel ist gestutzt, über ihm ist ein Fachwerkturm aus dem 17. Jahrhundert aufgesetzt. Der Turm ist mit einem Pyramidendach bedeckt, der Feldsteinsaal mit einem Satteldach. Das spitzbogige Hauptportal befindet sich im Westgiebel.

Die Holzdecke stützt sich auf zwei Unterzüge und Pfosten. Vermutlich stammt sie aus dem 17. Jahrhundert.

Ausstattung
Zur Innenausstattung zählt ein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert stammender Schnitzaltar. Im Schrein ist Madonna im Strahlenkranz zwischen Petrus und Paulus und zwei weiblichen Heiligen, vermutlich Lucia und Dorothea, abgebildet. Auf den Flügeln befinden sich Reliefs mit der Darstellung der Mariengeschichte (Verkündung, Heimsuchung, Geburt, Anbetung der Könige). Das Altargehege ist auf das Jahr 1691 datiert. Aus dem Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts stammen zwei Schnitzfiguren (Leuchterengel und Petrus) an den Pfosten.

Die Kirchenglocke wurde 1754 von C. D. Heintze gegossen und besitzt einen Durchmesser von 58 cm.

A man who killed a Melbourne surgeon with a single blow has become the first to receive a prison sentence of at least ten years under the & # 39; cowardly jolt & # 39; laws of Victoria.
Patrick Pritzwald-Stegmann, 41, suffered fatal head injury when Joseph Esmaili struck Box Box Hospital in May 2017.
His murderer, now 24, was found guilty of manslaughter last year and was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison on Wednesday.
Esmaili smiled and nodded to the public gallery when he was led away to start his prison sentence.
He is the first person to receive a mandatory minimum decade-long prison sentence under Victoria & # 39; s & # 39; dastardly punch & # 39; laws, meaning he must serve at least 10 years before being eligible for release on conditional release.
Mr. Pritzwald-Stegmann left the hospital when he stopped to tell a group – including Esmaili – to stop smoking at the entrance.
A fight broke out between the couple.
& # 39; Unfortunately, none of you were willing to simply walk away from the argument, & # 39; said Justice Hollingworth.
Esmaili struck the surgeon with so much force that he was beaten unconscious and got & # 39; catastrophic & # 39; injuries when his head fell to the floor.
His family turned off his life support a month later.
The judge said the prosecutors had met the four key elements of the law, which was introduced in 2014, were met, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The court heard that the couple also exchanged heated words prior to the surprise attack and that Esmali had placed his arms behind his back in a non-threatening way.
Justice Hollingworth said the actions of Esmali had also contributed to meeting the requirement that Pritzwald-Stegmann did not anticipate violence.
& # 39; You knew very well that he probably did not anticipate the blow, & # 39; said Justice Hollingworth.
The judge said his death had turned the lives of his family, including his wife and young twin daughters, upside down.
Esmaili had expressed regret for his actions that day, but still blamed Mr. Pritzwald-Stegmann for what had happened, according to his repeated assertion that he had done self-defense.
& # 39; You have a long way to go before you actually accept that responsibility for your actions on that day & # 39 ;, the judge said.
Outside of the court, Christine Pritzwald-Stegmann's wife, Christine, said in a statement that Esmali wanted to blame anyone but himself during the trial.
She described her husband as a dedicated heart and lung surgeon, who spent his days working on patients who had the harmful effects of smoking.
In her punishments, Justice Hollingworth noted how the suspect described his childhood as being dominated by physical and emotional abuse.
& # 39; You described your father as a long-term drug addict who had a quick and violent temper, & # 39; said Justice Hollingworth.
& # 39; You said your upbringing made you hypervigilant, and susceptible to reprisal in any situation you have observed can escalate into violence.
& # 39; Although you did not take revenge on your father's abusive behavior, you said that you were often fighting with your peers, and learned not to fall back, & # 39; she said.
The judge said that Esmali had also recognized a psychologist who had been hit in the face about 200 times.
Justice Hollingworth also referred to the alleged behavior of drug use by Esmali.
& # 39; You started abusing drugs and alcohol in your early teens.
& # 39; By the time you were 17 or 18, you regularly abused cannabis, alcohol, and methamphetamine (or & # 39; ice cream & # 39;).
& # 39; You then started using heroin, & # 39; she said.

Meet the #YAC: Danasia Eubanks
Posted By NYLC, Friday, March 22, 2019
(This article was originally posted on April 16th, 2015 on nylc.org.)
Danasia Eubanks, an incoming freshman at High Point University in High Point, North Carolina, is a young person dedicated to service, service-learning, and community-building. As one of two members returning from the 2013-2014 #YAC cohort, Danasia has valuable insights to bring to the new group and radiates a strong commitment to service.
Danasia has served as President of the Guilford County Schools' Service-Learning Youth Council, a body of students whose mission is to lead service-learning projects in their schools and communities, to provide an education on how to conduct high-quality service-learning, and to collaborate with service-learning ambassadors from other schools around the GCS network. "I am determined to contribute to changing lives and making a positive impact on others," said Danasia. In this spirit, Danasia currently sits on the National Board of Directors of the National Youth Leadership Council and will serve in this capacity for three years. Other positions of service Danasia has held include Secretary of her school's Project Ignition teen driver safety program and a volunteer at Liberty Hospice.
At More Powerful Together, the 26th Annual National Service-Learning Conference, Danasia co-presented Let's Get Smart. Youth Solutions to the Achievement Gap® Through Service-Learning: Part I, a workshop to educate about and inspire youth to address the Achievement Gap and Educational Inequity in their own communities. Her willingness to take a position of leadership is something she attributes to her experience with the #YAC, "My goal last year was to get out of my shell and I honestly feel like I accomplished that but my goal over the next two years is to become as involved as possible to help NYLC make a bigger impact in the world. I want to focus on using my voice as much as possible," said Danasia.
Becoming a strong, confident leader is a hallmark of experience on the #YAC – and Danasia is no exception.

A Week in Service-Learning
The 26th Annual National Service-Learning Conference, More Powerful Together, wrapped up Saturday, April 11, with a day of service around the Washington D.C. area. Groups spread across the district (and in neighboring Maryland) to give back to their host community and pay the spirit of service forward.
Whether maintaining the district's beautiful green spaces by picking up trash and pulling weeds, or helping neighbors by collecting food, gifts, and letters for those who need them most, hundreds of conference attendees performed an estimated 1600 hours of community service Saturday afternoon. It was a powerful end to a conference that highlighted all that we can do together.
For a recap of the entire conference, visit the blog entries for Thursday, and Friday.
The conference also attracted some special attention. Jane Goodall sent a message along to her good friend, McClellan Hall, who was honored at Friday's awards luncheon with the Alec Dickson Servant Leader Award.
On Thursday, attendees were greeted by Kevin Bacon, whose organization, SixDegrees.org, has partnered with Youth4Education, a campaign to end education inequity. Learn more about Youth4Education here.
Hear directly from attendees by searching the hashtag, #Youth4Ed, on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We'll see you at next year's conference!
More Powerful Together
On the third day of #MPT15, attendees filled the conference space with expertise, ideas, and opportunities through a series of concurrent workshops. These learning sessions have always been the heart of the conference — when participants come together to hear from one another and discover a place where we are all More Powerful Together.
Also yesterday was the awards luncheon, an event where the conference honored exemplary service-learning leaders. Awards winners included: Shira Woolf Cohen, G. Bernard Gill Urban Leadership Award; Joe Follman, Service-Learning Practitioner Leadership Award; McClellan Hall, Alec Dickson Servant Leader Award, who was recognized with a message from his good friend Dr. Jane Goodall; Cathryn Berger Kaye, Stellar Service-Learning Award; and Pima County Teen Court, Youth Leadership for Service-Learning Excellence Award.
Project Ignition students were recognized by Mike Brown of NHTSA for their leadership in teen driver safety.
The evening events fed on the energy of the day and captured great opportunities for networking and fun. The Service-Learning Young Professionals Network Gathering welcomed a variety of service-learning professionals eager to build connections with others who are leading similar projects in their communities and to learn unique and compelling ways to improve their own work.
A District Wide Model Reception brought together innovative teachers and administrators who have partnered with NYLC to introduce service-learning across entire school districts. The Youth Room was buzzing with energy during an 80s Dance Party — ending a long day on a high note.
Stay tuned for a wrap-up of our Saturday Day of Service.
Mac Never Gives Up
Honoring a lifetime of service and a special message from Dr. Jane Goodall
Today the service-learning field honored the work of McClellan (Mac) Hall, the Founder and Executive Director of the National Indian Youth Leadership Project, with the Alec Dickson Servant Leader Award. Mac's contribution to youth development and service-learning reaches back over three decades. As he stood on stage and received the award from his long-time friend, NYLC Founder Dr. James Kielsmeier, Mac shared stories of his work, his spiritual journey, his mentors (including Alec Dickson himself), and his family. Mac has transformed the lives of thousands of young people throughout his journey and in the process has made some wonderful friends including Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall was unable to attend the award presentation but sent this message to share:
Congratulations Mac for all that you have done and continue to do for young people.
#MPT15 Forges Ahead
Day Two of More Powerful Together kicked off with impactful all-day Leadership Sessions that allowed for a deep dive into the topics important to service-learners. For the first time ever, the conference offered an "unconference" opportunity with Open Spaces — a session where attendees set the agenda to take charge of their learning experience.
The opening plenary session welcomed a variety of service leaders: Bill Basl, Director of AmeriCorps, Youth Leaders Jessie Oliveira and Allie Gould from Special Olympics, Jamienne Studley, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Under Secretary, and Stacey D. Stewart, U.S. President of #MPT15 co-host United World Way, all shared inspiring messages of hope, service, promise, and change.
At the plenary, the Youth Advisory Council launched an international campaign, Youth4Education, focused on promoting educational equity, challenging both youth and adults to take the #Youth4Ed pledge. The youth pledge emphasizes a commitment to the belief that all young people have the right to an equitable education and a promise to share their voice, their solutions, and their passions for positive change in the world. The adult pledge calls for all adults to commit to supporting their youth allies, to value youth of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, physical abilities, sexual orientations, religions, and socioeconomic statuses, and to encourage youth to take an active role in the world today.
Youth4Education is a youth-driven mission to inspire the leader in every young person to take charge of their own education, using service-learning as the means to bring change to their communities and beyond. Youth4Education taps into the ingenuity of young people, much the same as the National Service-Learning Conference does, but with a singular focus to end education inequity around the world.
Not too bad for one day. Stay tuned for tomorrow.
The man. The myth. The Bacon.

Service-Learning Global
Day one of More Powerful Together, the 26th Annual National Service-Learning Conference, welcomed attendees yesterday from across the nation and around the world, on stages national and international at Capitol Hill and the Service-Learning World Forum.
Intrepid service-learners embarked on Capitol Hill to meet with staff from both the House of Representatives and Senate. Telling of their success stories, youth reported on the impact service-learning has made in their own education, as well as among their peers, schools, and communities. Adult allies let the young people take the lead, as students provided congresspersons and senators with lists of legislation to support service-learning, and future opportunities for members to connect back with the youth.
The Service-Learning World Forum welcomed international leaders to Washington, D.C. to share about the work they do in their home countries. Shaun Verma, a member of the Youth Advisory Council, presented on how to expand projects to an international level and how to build fruitful partnerships by sharing his own experiences running his own nonprofit, MDJunior.
A host of nations were represented, including Jordan, Russia, Singapore, and Qatar. The World Forum emphasized a rapidly globalizing planet. The ideas talked about in this space reflect an increasingly interconnected global community, and demonstrate the transcendental qualities of service-learning and community building at-large. Service-learning has an innate ability to cross cultures, and NYLC keeps on the cutting-edge of that front.
In the evening, Shinnyo-En sponsored an International Welcome Reception, which offered the opportunity for networking and for attendees of all types to launch #MPT15 with an inspired and global spirit, and a feeling of camaraderie founded on the common goal to Serve. Learn. Change the world.®
Follow us here as well as on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with all that #MPT15 has in store.

Q: java key-value pair with key lookup as "startswith" I am looking for a collection to store key value pair, where value should be returned on the basis of key startswith condition.
for e.g. for the given collection:  (a,123) (ab,234) (abcd,5434)
If I do map.get(a) it should give me array of {123,234,5434}, similarly if I do map.get(ab) it should give me {234,5434} but not {123} in this case.
So, it looks for all the values those have key with exact match or starts with.
Any suggestions? if there is something already available or if I can write something up?
Thanks!

A: You can do this with TreeMap<String,Integer> using the tailMap method, and iterating the result while the key matches the input:
TreeMap<String,Integer> map = new TreeMap<String,Integer>();
map.put("a", 123);
map.put("ab", 234);
map.put("abcd", 5434);
String myKey = "ab";
for (Map.Entry<String,Integer> e : map.tailMap(myKey).entrySet()) {
    if (!e.getKey().startsWith(myKey)) {
        break;
    }
    System.out.println(e.getValue());
}

Demo.

A: Use a TreeMap, and create a special iterator that maps over your TreeMap and searches for the string pattern you are looking for

A: just a small touch on dasblinkenlight's solution:
Java 8 stream API provides a nice touch on the loop:
    TreeMap<String,Integer> map = new TreeMap<String,Integer>();
    map.put("a", 123);
    map.put("ab", 234);
    map.put("abcd", 5434);
    String myKey = "ab";

    Collection<Integer> matchValues = map.tailMap(myKey).entrySet()
        .stream()
        .filter(e -> e.getKey().startsWith(myKey))
        .map(e -> e.getValue())
        .collect(Collectors.toList());

A: Following slanec's comment, I looked at PatriciaTrie from Apache Commons Collections4 and it really does have one method that does exactly what OP was asking for:
import org.apache.commons.collections4.*;
import org.apache.commons.collections4.trie.*;

Trie<String,Integer> t = new PatriciaTrie<>();
t.put("a", 123);
t.put("ab", 234);
t.put("abcd", 5434);
System.out.println(t.prefixMap("ab").values());

Probe needed into crofters' payment shambles, says MSP
9 comments, 08/03/2016 , by Ryan Taylor, in Headlines, News, Public Affairs
Calls have been made for a full independent inquiry into the deepening cash crisis faced by farmers and crofters.
Conservative rural affairs spokesman, Alex Fergusson, plans to demand a probe into the Scottish government's £178 million IT failures which have dogged the controversial basic payments scheme.
Mr Fergusson says he will raise a motion in the Scottish parliament tomorrow.
The long-running payment mix up means only 56 per cent of producers in the country have received the cheques which they should have received by the end of December.
Scottish rural affairs minister, Richard Lochhead, has faced renewed criticism in light of the problems.
Local NFUS representative, Jim Nicolson, said the cost of the failed computer system was "mind-boggling".
"I certainly think there needs to be an inquiry, especially into the tremendously expensive computer system that's really been failing to do what it's supposed to do.
"It's obviously costing far too much money, in any case, even if it were working. We're speaking about something that is nearly half the cost of the [£414 million] Scottish parliament, and there were a lot of concerns about that."
He said farmers welcomed the prospect of Less Favoured Area Payments due to be made during the last week of this month. But he said alternative ways of getting the basic payments scheme paid out should be examined.
Mr Nicolson added a number of farmers and crofters in the isles had secondary incomes which offset the difficulties they were experiencing but insisted many were "still struggling".
"We're coming to a time now where cattle and sheep require a lot of supplementary feeding, and folk will be looking to purchase fertiliser.
"It's very much the case that folk are having to extend, or take out, overdrafts from the banks to tide them over."
"It's obviously costing far too much money, in any case, even if it were working. We're speaking about something that is nearly half the cost of the [£414 million] Scottish parliament, and there were a lot of concerns about that." JIM NICOLSON
However, isles MSP Tavish Scott said he did not understand why an inquiry was needed.
He highlighted plans by Scotland's Auditor General to release findings later this year into an assessment of how payments to producers have been delivered.
"I don't understand it because Audit Scotland is that independent body and their work is under way which is right," he said.
"I believe that Audit Scotland will lay bare the utter shambles and incompetence of the government in failing crofters in Shetland and elsewhere. When they do heads must roll."
Isles Tory candidate, Cameron Smith, said: "I fully support Alex Fergusson's call for a full inquiry into the payments debacle.
"By the end of last month some 50 per cent of farmers had received some of the payment due, but that is far from Richard Lochhead's assurances that 'most' farmers would have received their payments by the end of January.
"Further, the promise made for the end of January was the third indicative deadline given by the cabinet secretary. I find it hard now to trust any assurances given by the [Scottish] government on this issue, and an independent inquiry is needed to get to the bottom of the problem.
"I've been raising this issue locally for many months now, including with the European Commissioner responsible in Strasbourg."
However, SNP MSP Angus MacDonald said: "It is quite spectacular hypocrisy from the Tories to try and score political points over farm support – when their own farming minister is set on seeing the support abolished in its entirety by dragging Scotland out of the EU.
"The truth is that the Tory government has refused to give our farming communities any information about the future of the support payments they'll receive if we're out of Europe – the Tories in Scotland should come clean on their own farming minister's plans."
Mr Smith retorted: "I think for the SNP to try to deflect from a real issue affecting not just crofters directly but also related business across Scotland but particularly in the Highlands and Islands is beneath an administration that claims to be standing up for all of the people of Scotland."
NFU representatives are due to meet First Minister Nicola Sturgeon today on the issue. A rally is due to be staged by the NFUS at Holyrood before FMQs.

Whether late or not who the hell thought paying £178 million on software to process 14000 payments. Have they never heard of exel.
john flett
£178000000 is a lot of money for what is basically a computer program,is it not ? but why not copy the French system as most of the C O P seems to get to them ok .
sorry C A P

I haven't commented on the £178 million computer system to process 14,000 payments because, thinking it to be too far-fetched, I didn't actually believe the story. I assumed it to have been exaggerated out of all proportion by opposing politicians?
But I hear no denials from, either, the SNP Scottish government or their many and varied supporters who haunt this forum?
Robin Stevenson
'Who haunt this forum?'…That's a bit rich coming from you John?…. Why don't you look at every article on every subject and count the number of posts from ALL those that 'haunt the forum?' I think you'll find that the biggest 'Spook' seems to be yourself.
Ah, hello again, Robin!
Since you've manifested yourself in this thread, perhaps, you'll be kind enough to tell us whether this story is true about the SNP spending £178 million on a computer to handle 14,000 CAP payments and then not working and failing to deliver farmers' payments on time – months late?
I can't believe it myself, it sounds terribly far-fetched. You're very well connected in the SNP so I hope you'll tell us that it isn't true?
Hey John
The ST was having an issue with my posts that were being diverted [for some reason] to another in-box, I did suggest that perhaps you [or one of your chums] had broken into their offices and redirected them into the junk mail box? However they emphatically denied this 🙂
Yes, another duff IT computer glitch, much the same as the NHS and the Police Scotland one, I guess ANY organisation is at the mercy of the – so called – experts? But I don't imagine myself blaming ANY government on the competency of the chosen tender? Unless ofc if that company is costing you a fortune and not delivering at all? Changes to anything come at a price, teething problems are that price, and sadly people suffer as a consequence. That said, at least the SNP allocated £200 million in the interim towards CAP payments, and let's not forget, 50% were already paid and the Scottish Government had up until June 2016 to make sure the rest were too.
Incidentally, I know you like to bang on about underfunded education in Shetland, so what do you think of the PPI £4 million paid on interest each year?
Oops!..My typo, I meant 'PFI', £4 million per year on interest up until 2040, [as far as I remember] which roughly works out at just under a £billion for Anderson high school, signed up by none other than Labour/Lib Dems Government, [dear o dear, that Tavish one, what's he like?] perhaps you may like to subtract that amount off ALL that 'under-funding' that the SNP government regularly get the blame for?
Oh and don't forget to knock off the £10 million that the SNP have kindly offered for their 3 way share of the UK's historic debt?
I won't mention the council tax freeze 'over-funding' of Scotland's 32 councils of £170 million [thanks to the SPICE report]…..Oops!..I just did.
March 10th, 2016 9:04
It has been reported elsewhere that the farming CAP payments fiasco has become so bad – only 25 percent of the £400 million of EU money has been distributed by the Scottish government – that Nicola Sturgeon has had to personally intervene with a promise pay £200 million to entitled recipients by the end of April.
Shetland NFU representative Jim Nicolson is quoted:
""We very much welcome [the announcement]," he said. "It's really something that the NFU has been asking for and we certainly hope that everybody gets the equivalent of 80 per cent of their payments before the end of April."
Why wait until April, isn't Mr Swinney going to preside over another underspend this year?

100 Years Ago Today: Wealthy Rancher Murdered, Buried Under Manure
On February 27, 2019 February 27, 2019 By RyanIn 100 Years Ago Today, colorado history, true crime
Wray Rattler, February 27, 1919
John Breuss went missing from his Silt, Colorado ranch home on November 18, 1918. By late December of that year, Sheriff Charles W. Fravert of Garfield County, on suspicion that Breuss was dead, offered a $250 reward for the recovery of Breuss' body, and another $250 for any information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators of the alleged murder.
Fun facts about Sheriff Fravert: he was a German-born immigrant who listed his occupation at various stages of his life as Coal Miner, Sheriff, Woolgrower, Contractor, Driver, Live Stock, Stockman, Ice House Owner, and Shop Raiser. Fravert Reservoir and Fravert Avenue, near Rifle, CO, are named after the late Sheriff.
Breuss was known as one of the wealthiest ranchers in Garfield County at the time, and his murder made newspaper headlines. However, police were not making any headway in the case until a local Glenwood Springs jeweler named Tom Dever stepped in and cracked it wide open.
Dever had been asked to repair a 21-jewel Hamilton movement watch by Joe Sessions. When Sessions came to pick up the watch, Dever questioned him about its origin. Sessions told Dever that when he was working down in Silt, he traded Cruz(e) Romero a watch and a pair of gloves for the jeweled Hamilton watch. Hamilton watches were renown as 'The Watch of Railroad Accuracy', and they were famous for being the official wristwatch of the U.S. Army, as well as being used in the first ever American airmail service between Washington D.C. and New York.
Hamilton Movement Watches
The jeweler, Dever, suddenly realized that he had worked on the watch before. He checked his records and saw that he'd repaired it for the now-missing John Breuss in 1914. Dever and Sessions took the information to Sheriff Fravert who arrested Cruz Romero and his former roommate and coworker, Lee Martinez, the very next day.
Hamilton watch from 1919 being sold on ebay in 2019 for $895
Sheriff Fravert then rounded up Lee Martinez's brother, Tonio, from Monte Vista, CO, and questioned the three suspects. The Sheriff had also gathered information that Lee Martinez's young son was telling people that his father did not kill Breuss, but rather it was Cruz Romero who beat the 58-year-old rancher to death. During questioning, Fravert and Deputy W. G. Cardnell sweated Lee Martinez until he cracked. Martinez revealed that Romero killed Breuss and they buried the rancher beneath a pile of manure near his barn.
Sheriff Fravert and Deputy Cardnell then went out the Silt ranch and found Breuss' badly decomposed body right where Martinez said, buried beneath four feet of manure. The body was brought to a coroner's jury which ruled that Breuss was killed by Romero and the Martinez brothers.
Romero confessed that he had beaten Breuss to death, but he said he only did it out of self-defense after a fight over a horse trade. Lee Martinez admitted to helping Romero bury the body with manure. On March 8, 1919, Cruz Romero was found guilty and sentenced to death for the killing of John Breuss. Lee Martinez (whose suname in some articles is Martini), was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the murder. There is no mention of his brother, Tonio.
In June of 1919, Cruz Romero was given a 30-day stay of execution while Governor Shoup reviewed his case. Then, in August of the same year, Shoup commuted his sentence to life imprisonment.

Beugungseffizienz (engl. ) oder kurz Effizienz ist eine charakteristische Größe diffraktiver optischer Elemente (DOE), insbesondere optischer Gitter.

Sie ist definiert als das Verhältnis der Intensität, die von einem DOE in einen bestimmten Raumwinkel gebeugt wird, zu der auf das Element einfallenden Intensität.

Optisches Gitter
Im Speziellen definiert man für optische Gitter die Beugungseffizienz als den Anteil der einfallenden Intensität, der in die erste Beugungsordnung gebeugt wird:

mit der Intensität  der m-ten Ordnung.

Im Falle eines einfachen Amplituden-Transmissionsgitters mit Gitterlinienabstand d und Schlitzbreite d/2 (d. h. einem Gitter, welches an seinen Gitterlinien keine Phasenunterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Lichtwellen erzeugt, sondern sie nur in ihren Amplituden abschwächt) beträgt die Intensität in der m-ten Ordnung (im Fernfeld):

mit der Sinus cardinalis-Funktion

Dies führt auf eine maximale Effizienz von ca. 10 %. Um höhere Effizienzen zu erreichen bedient man sich Phasengittern, z. B. eines Blazegitters. Diese erreichen im Idealfall Effizienzen von 100 %, aber nur für kleine Wellenlängenbereiche.

The Sunday Times, September 16 2018, 12:01am
For the Swiss jewellery designer, 34, the best evenings start with a clean white tablecloth and a grand buffet spread. "But each person has their own set of colourful glasses, napkins and plates," she says. "I use glasses designed by my mother-in-law, Domitilla Harding." Her extravagant wedding to Joseph Getty — yes, that Getty — is still one of the most-talked-about fashion weddings of the past decade (the Pope gave his blessing, for goodness' sake). A buffet was prepared for guests then, too: "My taste is colourful and happy, but also with some older, more elegant pieces." Translation: monogrammed napkins, but with side plates of fun fruit-shaped jellies and marzipan from Fortnum & Mason. The couple now have a 19-month-old daughter. "My husband is a…
