The Extended Forcast is Good!
I am 2 days post surgical removal of 2 root-canaled teeth and THE CONVULSIONS ARE GONE!!! Yipppeeee and praise the Lord! This 3 years of daily hell for me and my beloved husband, Steve, is finally over!
While there is still much work to do to detox mercury toxicity and re-evaluate chronic Lyme and mold illnesses, I feel more optimistic that I will be able to tolerate those treatments someday. Until this week, I was failing. I was bedridden most every day with convulsive episodes. The grief and impact was huge on everything from our finances to my aching neck. My husband no longer got a full night of sleep and this illness had changed virtually every activity inside/outside of our home. How would Steve find me when he came home from work? Would he have to make me my pureed dinner and feed me again before bed tonight? Carry me to the toilet? Our hearts were weary after 3 years of this living hell.
Nine months ago I began investigating how two sore molars in the upper left section of my jaw might be impacting my health. Four dentists and three oral surgeons, a cone beam CT, MRI, and pano plus regular x-rays later (including a consultation out of State) we had no objective data to guide us. Everything looked "fine." The teeth had bothered me for over 13 years! Fifteen years ago I had all my amalgam fillings removed but was never guided to chelate for mercury. Were there silver filings containing mercury remaining underneath the crowns over these two teeth? We will never know the answer to that question. My saliva had started tasting metallic. Eating started triggering the convulsive episodes. With Steve's support, we took an expensive leap of faith and pursued a dental solution.
Additionally, seven weeks before what would become the big day, I started eating only on the right side of my mouth. Two and one-half weeks later I started a pureed diet to eliminate the chewing action that seemed to make things worse; all this was quite a feat since my struggle to get well led me to eat low oxalate, virtually dairy-free, and completely sugar/sweetener-free, gluten-free, and mold -free foods too! Another two weeks later and 1 week before the surgery I noticed that using plastic utensils delayed the onset of convulsions after eating. Even drinking my foods through a straw helped initially then ultimately triggered episodes. I feared eating anything at all! The only problem with that was hunger and thirst could also trigger convulsions or make them worse. I felt trapped!
The morning of the surgery went as usual. Convulsive episodes began shortly after opening my eyes and periodically as we prepared to leave the house. Seizure zips ripped through my hungry and thirsty frame as my beloved drove us to the hospital. We were still reeling from the large check we had to carry with us since the oral surgeon insisted on performing the extractions near a crash cart, I guess. And after some prayers, many silly jokes and one last shake/rattle/and roll with placement of the IV in my arm, the time had come to let go and not look back. We reviewed my situation with the anesthesiologist and oral surgeon, surgical tech, and several nurses. They were not to abort the mission if I seized under anesthesia! Just wait a moment and get the job done.
I'd like to say that I woke up in a calm, blissful state but that simply was not the case. I became nauseous and pain management was a problem over the next day and one-half. Oh well. One thing was certain: THERE WERE NO SEIZURES OR CONVULSIONS! The "battery effect" of dissimilar metals in 2 adjacent crowns over root-canaled teeth WERE FRICKIN' GONE! No more tazoring of my brain would continue. And hey, if there was hidden infection in the root-canaled teeth then the problems caused therein are now also "history." The hell is over.
My job now includes retraining my brain to relax when falling asleep instead of bracing for impact. My job now includes remembering all of the relaxation techniques I used to train my patients in psychiatric hospitals to deal with anxiety. I need to rework those memory pathways and feelings of impending doom that followed me, waited for me every night, every morning, every time when I was exposed to noxious stimuli, or even on the clothing or breath of my beloved anytime, anywhere. Hey, no problemmo. I am ready to live and the extended forecast is good!
Thank you and big hugs to those of you who have followed my story for any length of time, You have been an important part of my lifeblood to go on when I could not. Sometimes my husband could not be home with me and I was alone, feeling terrified mostly of even greater suffering and it came. The worst episodes were never captured on YouTube videos because my warrior husband was needed to hold me tightly to keep me from greater harm instead of holding onto a camera. Sometimes the Lord was silent even when I cried out to Him when breathless, facing death again and again when my breathing stopped. When He did speak I gained the courage I needed to face the next trial. In the end, death was not my greatest fear. Dying without my Heavenly Husband was.
But you know what? I made it through. Steve made it through. A new chapter in our lives is about to begin. I'm going to take some time now and regroup. I am very weak. An infusion of my Jesus is needed. The warmest embrace with my beloved must follow. And really good food cannot be far behind. After tomorrow the putty d' jour will be history! Yeah God!

Next a question of character: no April's fool.


Chief Inspector calls for people's views on Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
England's Chief Inspector of Hospitals is inviting people to tell his inspectors what they think of the services provided by Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
People's views and experiences will help inspectors decide what to look at when they return to the Trust, in April, under the Care Quality Commission's current programme of comprehensive inspections. The formal inspection will start on Tuesday 26 April 2016.
The Chief Inspector, Professor Sir Mike Richards, is leading large inspection teams including clinical and other experts, along with specialist inspectors and experts by experience, to inspect all of England's acute hospitals.
People are being encouraged to meet the inspectors and tell them about their experiences of care from the Trust in the past year. They can also say where they would like to see improvements made in the future.
Sir Mike said: "Our inspections are designed to provide people with a clear picture of the quality of the services in their local hospitals, exposing poor or mediocre care as well as highlighting the many hospitals providing good and excellent care.
"We know there is too much variation in quality – these in-depth inspections allow us to get a much more detailed picture of care in hospitals and community services than ever before.
"Of course we will be talking to doctors and nurses, managers and patients in the hospital. But it is vital that we also hear the views of the people who have experienced the care provided by the trust over the course of the last year or so, or anyone who wants to share information with us. This will help us plan our inspections, and so help us focus on the things that really matter to people who depend on this service.
A full report of the inspectors' findings will be published by the Care Quality Commission later in the year. The trust will be given one of the following ratings: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate.
Sir Mike's inspection team will look in detail at eight key service areas: medical care; surgery; intensive/critical care; end of life care; specialist rehabilitation; and outpatients.

Integrating Instruments of Power and Influence:
Lessons Learned and Best Practices
A publication produced by the American Academy of Diplomacy and the RAND Corporation
As the U.S. prepares itself for emerging threats and future military interventions, how should it learn from past experiences to make its military operations more effective? The American Academy of Diplomacy and the RAND Corporation have published a new study detailing a set of practical national security recommendations for the incoming administration, the new Congress, and NATO to provide guidance on how to deal with future military operations and their aftermath. The report draws from the expertise of 67 U.S. and European senior practitioners from both civilian and military posts. The recommendations in the report are based on lessons learned from experiences in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The report recommends that the U.S. shift more resources to the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development, and that military and civilian efforts be integrated from top to bottom. It also suggests that spending authority should be delegated to the field level and that civilians and military officers gain extensive experience between agencies and in one another's disciplines.
Some of the Report's key conclusions include:
The United States' success in counterinsurgencies and counterterrorism requires more direct coordination and integration of military and non-military efforts, activities, agencies, and personnel than ever before. Arms-length relationships between key departments like the Defense Department and State Department are no longer acceptable;
A major increase is needed in U.S. resources for non-military activities — where the ratio between military and non-military national security spending is now 17 to 1. This should include adding at least 6,600 Foreign Service Officers for the State Department, 2000 for USAID, and recreating a separate "United States Information Agency-like" agency;
Building success must begin with career-wide training and education in modern techniques of military and non-military activities. There needs to be a reorganization of the civilian agencies to promote cross-agency, career-enhancing experience for military and non-military personnel, similar to the practice adopted by the military services under the Goldwater-Nichols Act passed in 1986;
Training in foreign cultures, history, and languages must be radically enhanced for both military and civilian personnel. Tours in conflict zones need to be extended for key personnel engaged in day-to-day relations with local officials and populations. The military needs to enhance long-term relationships with local counterparts;
Both long-term and short-term planning for interventions must be systematic and centered at the National Security Council level; planning must involve all relevant U.S. government agencies, plus the private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs);
As much military-civilian coordination as possible must be delegated to the operational level. This must include authority for U.S. ambassadors and military commanders to move money flexibly across tasks and agencies;
Responsibility for tasks should be assigned to those U.S. agencies and personnel — military or civilian — best able to carry them out. U.S. personnel in the field must stop "stove-piping" to their separate agencies in Washington. Departments like Agriculture, Justice, HHS, and Education must deploy personnel to the field;
Personnel deployed by the United States must build international partnerships with NATO, the European Union and the UN. Barriers to cooperation between NATO and the EU also must be broken down. Allied command transformation should be given a broad mandate to help make this happen;
Presidential leadership is key; Congress must also play its part, including the delegation of more flexible funding authority to the field. The Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office need to provide integrated "national security budgets" to guide policymakers. Congress needs a joint "national security committee" to advise on integrated policies.
Ambassador Robert Hunter co-chaired this report along with Ambassador Edward Gnehm, former U.S. ambassador to Jordon, and Gen. George Joulwan, former supreme allied commander Europe and commander-in-chief, U.S. Southern Command.

Wide range of versatile features and modes
Menus, dials and controls offer multiple access points to settings
Impressive macro features
Can capture slow-motion video at HD resolution
Includes ability to capture RAW image files
Struggles in low-light situations
Menu structure is somewhat confusing
Zoom mechanism produces noise during video capture
Tom's Guide Verdict
Today's best Olympus Tough TG-5 deals
For more information visit their website
Olympus has been producing top-quality, rugged-and-waterproof compact cameras for years, and its latest, the Tough TG-5 ($449), is one of its best yet. For starters, it's waterproof to a depth of 50 feet, which should suit most people's needs. And, it produces photos and video clips with very good image quality, has an abundant assortment of modes, settings and features — including the ability to capture RAW images files, 4K-resolution video and bursts of photos at 20 frames per second. It's a worthy successor to the TG-4 as one of the best waterproof cameras, as well as one of the best cameras, period.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Design
The TG-5 retains a lot of the same design elements from the TG-4, and for good reason: They just work. For instance, the TG-5 uses the same dual-latch design on its two compartment doors — one for the battery and memory card, and the other for the ports (micro HDMI and micro USB). Each ensures you don't damage the camera by accidentally flooding those sections with water. While I felt the latch systems on both the Nikon Coolpix W300 and Olympus adequately secured the compartments on each camera, the Olympus seemed a little more intuitive. The locking system on the Nikon, while inventive, initially seemed a tad more difficult to understand.
The camera also has more physical controls, switches and dials than most point-and-shoots. For example, on the top of the camera, Olympus added a control dial, which sits on the top-right side of the camera, next to the shutter button and zoom lever. (The zoom lever is actually positioned around the shutter button.)
What's nice about this dial is that you can quickly control and change various exposure and other settings in the menus. You can also use it to scroll through other sections of the menus. Additionally, I liked that you can access many modes, features and setting via the LCD screen by pressing the "OK" button: Doing so brings up a host of settings on the right-side and bottom border of the LCD. You simply navigate to the setting you want via the multiselector control and press OK to select it.
The TG-5 measures 4.5 x 2.6 x 1.3 inches, similar to the Nikon Coolpix W300, which is 4.4 x 2.6 x 1.2 inches. At 8.8 ounces, the TG-5 is heavier than the 8.2-ounce W300. In addition to being waterproof to 50 feet — the W300 can do as deep as 100 feet — the TG-5 is rated to withstand a 7-foot drop.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Interface
Olympus has done a nice job integrating the menus, dials and controls so that they offer multiple access points to settings, allowing you to quickly and efficiently get to the precise setting you want to change. However, you'll first have to get accustomed to the menu structure.
Where I found the product design on the TG-5 to fall short was in the structure of the camera's menu system. For instance, the text-based appearance of the main menu looks like something from the early 2000s. However, if you select the Scene Mode on the camera's mode dial, you're taken to a more image-based menu that looks more contemporary: Each of the five submenus — People, Motion, Indoors, Nightscapes and Scenery — has a prominent photo for each grouping of scene modes. I'd have liked to have seen this throughout the camera.
MORE: Best waterproof cameras
But it's not just about appearance. Some modes that should be grouped together are found in different parts of the menu. For instance, you won't find the time-lapse video under the video button on the mode dial, although you will find other video modes there — namely HD, 4K and High Speed (slow motion). You have to go to the main menu, under Shooting Menu 2, to find the time-lapse video. You also have to make sure the video mode is not selected. It's a kind of logic that doesn't make much sense. But this lack of organization aside, the features themselves are impressive.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Image quality
In our image-quality tests, the 12-megapixel Olympus Tough TG-5, like the 16-megapixel Nikon Coolpix W300, captured good to very good photos in most decent lighting situations. Both models faithfully maintained very subtle textures, like canvas or watercolor paper. Both also reproduced colors and details accurately, and the cameras could even differentiate between very subtle differences in tone and hue.
The rugged-and-waterproof Olympus Tough TG-5 compact camera provides photographers with lots of options in extreme as well as everyday environments.
For example, in my handheld, natural-light, still-life test shot, the TG-5 captured some of the faintest lines in the drawings and paintings very accurately, as did the W300.
Like the 16-megapixel Nikon Coolpix W300, the 12-megapixel TG-5 took images that had accurately reproduced color and details. In fact, just like the W300, the camera could capture extremely delicate details, like the faint lines in the drawing or the subt
Our low-light test without a flash was a challenge for the TG-5. Like the W300, the Olympus had a hard time distinguishing various color values and accurately reproducing color saturation.
Like the Nikon W300, the TG-5 has a hard time distinguishing between color values and accurately reproducing details in low-light settings. In many white or light-gray sections of the image, the camera has introduced image noise, or grain, which further d
In my handheld, low-light, still-life test shot, details were blurred and marred by grain or noise, due to high ISO and long shutter speed. Most of the subtle details, like the texture of the paper or the canvas, were swallowed up by the shadows.
One standout feature on the TG-5 is its ability to shoot RAW. This image was originally shot in the same low light as the JPEG low-light test shot. But, because it's a more flexible file type, I was able to restore detail, color, midtones and highlights t
However, because the TG-5 has the ability to shoot in a RAW-file format, I was able to open the low-light test photo in an image editor (like Adobe Photoshop) and, using the program's Camera Raw module, restore some of a photo's detail, color and contrast, as well as minimize noise and other aberrations. As my test images reveal, it won't produce the quality and detail you get shooting in bright light, but the RAW-file format does allow you some latitude in low-light and other challenging situations. It's a powerful feature not available in the W300 and one of several reasons the Olympus TG-5 is our best rugged-and-waterproof camera.
The TG-5's built-in flash also impressed us, since you can adjust the flash-exposure compensation setting, which lets you change the brightness of the flash when it fires. That's powerful, since you can override any auto and scene-mode settings.
Flash exposure compensation, which gives you the ability to adjust how much or how little illumination your built-in flash produces, is a feature that's common on advanced cameras, but rare on point-and-shoots. For underwater cameras, it can be particular
In my test photo of a still life of flowers and two framed photos, you can see the dramatic difference by changing the output of the flash-compensation-exposure setting from minus 2 (bottom) to plus 2 (top).
The flash also works well in auto modes: Like the W300, the TG-5 did a great job adding a bit of flash in an outdoor family portrait of my wife, son and daughter — just enough illumination to lighten any cast shadows on my subjects' face.
The TG-5 provides you with a versatile fill flash, which can improve images even in decent lighting situations, like in this group portrait of my wife, daughter and son.
Like the Nikon Coolpix W300, I didn't notice any conspicuous distortion (barrel or pincushion distortion) at images shot at either end of the zoom range. I also found the camera's autofocus worked well and adjusted quickly when I moved from low light to bright light, and vice versa.
Like the Nikon Coolpix W300, the TG-5 captures good-quality shots both in and out of the water.
Just like the W300, the TG-5 performed nicely, both above and below water. (I tested the TG-5 a couple of feet below water in a cooler filled with water.)
Overall, the TG-5 provided very good quality images and video underwater, with little distortion. As you can see in the photo, colors also remain vibrant, although just slightly muted. Because the TG-5 also has a versatile macro mode (microscope mode), it
I found that the sharpness and color saturation of both photos and videos were relatively consistent.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Features
Olympus includes the same lens in the TG-5 that it had on the TG-4: It's a 4x nontelescoping optical zoom lens, with a zoom range of 24mm to 100mm. That's a bit less than you'll find on Nikon's W300, which has a 5x optical lens (24mm to 120mm). It also has a f/2.0 maximum aperture, which is wider and brighter than most compact point-and-shoots. This allows the camera to minimize the need to raise the ISO, which could introduce noise in photos or video.
When you shoot in the microscope scene mode on the TG-5, you're able to get very close to your subjects (as close as 0.4 inches) and create wonderfully detailed, macro-style shots.
One lens feature I particularly enjoyed using was the microscope, which produced wonderful close-up images and video clips, and lets you focus just 0.4 inches from your subjects. There are some other options in this mode, including the ability to add digital zoom to get even closer (although it does make the images less sharp).
But like its predecessor, the TG-5 only offers you three aperture settings, which will change, depending on the zoom: At the widest focal length (24mm), you can only choose between f/2, f/2.8 and f/8.0. It includes an ISO range of 100 to 12800 ISO, although you'll get noisy or grainy shots or video at the higher ISO settings.
The camera also has ways to embed GPS and other data into your photos. On the back of the camera, the TG-5 has a log button. Turn it on, and you can access the Field Sensor System, which produces a variety of GPS-type data, including direction, location, pressure and temperature. To access this info, you'll need to download the OI.Share mobile app on your phone or tablet.
MORE: Best Action Cameras
For those looking to capture lots of action via burst mode, the TG-5 will not disappoint: You can fire off full-resolution photos at 20 frames per second.
I also I had a lot of fun playing with the variety of filters or fine-art modes Olympus included on the camera. (In the photo gallery, you can see four different filters I used for the same image of my office window. Some of these filters can also be used when capturing video.) The TG-5 also comes with a 3-inch LCD (although it doesn't swivel nor include a touch screen).
Olympus Tough TG-5: Video performance
For the most part, the video features on both the TG-5 and the W300 worked quite well. Both provide you with a 4K-resolution option, and lots of full-HD and HD options. Both can also capture various types of time-lapse videos, although it's easier to access time lapse on the Nikon W300. Overall, both cameras produced comparable video, in terms of quality and versatility. Additionally, video footage produced underwater looked sharp and had good color and detail.
However, I was disappointed to hear the grinding of the TG-5's mechanism when zooming in or out of a scene while capturing video. When capturing video on the Nikon W300, there was much less audible noise when zooming in and out.
What's nice is that the TG-5 has a very nice slow-motion video setting, which shoots HD video (at 720p) at 240 frames per second. That's twice as slow as Nikon, which shoots at just 120 fps, and only captures in 480p, which is standard-definition video. That looks grainy on most HDTV or 4K HDTV screens.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Wireless capabilities
To wirelessly connect the TG-5 to your smartphone or tablet, you'll need to download the OI.Share app (compatible with iOS and Android). Once you set up your camera, you can transfer images to your mobile device or shoot remotely. Like the Nikon W300, I found the initial process of making a wireless connection to my smartphone to be somewhat clunky and unintuitive, but once connected, I was able to reconnect to the app quickly.
Olympus Tough TG-5: Battery life
Olympus claims the TG-5 will last 340 shots per charge (according to the CIPA standard), which is very good for a point-and-shoot, and is longer than the Nikon Coolpix W300 claim of 280 shots per charge (again, according to the CIPA standard).
Olympus Tough TG-5 Verdict
Although it's very pricey for a point-and-shoot, the rugged-and-waterproof Olympus Tough TG-5 provides exceptional features that almost any photography enthusiast would appreciate, yet it includes easy-to-use auto and scene modes that will help novices get the most out of their images. While it can't go as deep as the W300, the TG-5 not only captures high-quality photos and video in most settings, but it also provides you with a bevy of controls and features to take your images or video clips to the next level. That's why the TG-5 is our top-rated rugged-and-waterproof model.

Boiler, steam fitting, or hot-water heater contractors install, service, and repair boilers, hot-water heaters, steam fitting and piping, fuel oil tanks, fuel oil lines and all other equipment associated with these, including solar water heaters and the equipment associated with them. Research by The Prime Buyer's Report lists the best water heater contractors in San Mateo County and the issues related to hiring them.
Hot water heater contractors and boiler contractors in San Mateo County are required to be licensed by the state for your protection, such as the C-4 license specifically for water heater, steam fitting, and boiler contractors. If the boiler or water heater contractors have employees, they are legally required to have workers' compensation insurance to protect you the customer from being sued if an injury occurs during work performed at your property. Water heater contractors are not required by law to have general liability insurance; however, all boiler and water heater contractors bearing The Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 designation have general liability insurance coverage to reimburse you in the event of any damages, in addition to passing all other requirements for certification as Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 such as our research phone calls to their previous customers, hiring only documented workers, verified license and workers' comp insurance, clean complaint record, and more.
What's the Difference Between Hot Water Heaters and Boilers?
Hot water heaters supply hot water to fixtures like sinks and showers. Boilers supply hot water used to heat the home, like steam radiators, hot water baseboard heating, radiant floor heating, and swimming pools, etc. Boilers are usually larger and more complex than hot water heaters and boilers heat water to higher temperatures.
The line between hot water heaters and boilers can get blurred since sometimes boilers are used in place of a water heater. And although hot water heaters traditionally use a storage tank where boilers don't, this too is a fuzzy distinction since some boilers do have storage and there are tankless water heaters. Some units known as combination boilers or combi boilers are designed to supply hot water for both space heating and for fixtures, performing the function of both boiler and hot water heater in one unit.
Very high recovery water heaters can approach the hot water capacity of a boiler but have so many flues inside that in complexity they begin to resemble boilers. Boilers cost more than hot water heaters, may last longer, but require more maintenance as they are more complex.
A traditional type storage tank hot water heater with a corroded tank that is leaking is better off being replaced with a new water heater. But some problems can be repaired cheaply compared to the cost of a new water heater. These include a water heater leak from a pressure relief valve or a drain.
If buying a new water heater of the standard tank storage kind, those that will perform better but cost a little more will be ones built with thicker internal insulation, larger heating elements, larger metal anodes to slow down corrosion of the tank, and longer warranties. When choosing between natural gas water heaters and electric water heaters know that electric may be cheaper to purchase but gas less expensive to operate and quicker to heat water.
One factor to consider to buy a new hot water heater of the traditional tank type is how much hot water it holds. But also look to find out the FHR (First Hour Rating) and the GPM (Gallons Per Minute) rating which indicates how quickly it heats water, which can be as important to you or more, than how much it stores.
Hot water heaters that use a storage tank are the most common type of water heater. It's usually a vertical, cylindrical tank which stores water that's kept continuously hot and ready for use. Compared to tankless water heaters they use power at a slower rate but use it more often since it keeps the stored water constantly hot even when not in use. If the entire tank of stored hot water is used up, it can be some time before hot water is available again, unlike on-demand water heaters with no storage tank.
Because storage hot water heaters use a tank, they are subject to water heater leaking. Most common are metal tanks which are enamel-lined inside to prevent corrosion of the tank since chlorinated hot water is corrosive. The lining has tiny defects however and so a sacrificial anode rod may be used, which if changed out periodically can extend the life of the storage tank but this maintenance is rarely done and more commonly the tank is allowed to corrode over time until leaking and then replaced with a new water heater. Because a tank with enamel lining will inevitably develop leaks, regulatory codes often require a shallow pan to collect leaks, which may be connected to a drain. If this is not possible, then an alternative is a water alarm on the floor near the hot water heater, possibly connected to an automatic water shutoff valve.
Tankless water heaters (sometimes called On Demand Water Heaters or Instantaneous Water Heaters) heat water only when it's needed, unlike standard water heaters which have a storage tank to keep hot water at the ready and so use more energy keeping the stored water hot 24 hours a day. While tankless water heaters use less electricty or gas, their initial purchase price can be expensive and energy savings may not be recouped for many years. If recovering the purchase price sooner is important to you, then be sure to ask a water heater contractor with provable expertise in tankless water heaters how many years it will take for the energy savings to balance out the increased purchase price.
Tankless water heaters heat the water only when it's used. When the hot water is turned on, cold water travels through the unit and a heating element (electric or gas depending on the type of tankless water heater) instantly heats the water. Tankless water heaters will usually provide hot water at a rate of 2-5 gallons per minute. Some tankless water heaters cannot supply hot water fast enough for multiple uses at the same time in a large house. For instance, running a hot shower and a dishwasher at the same time could max out the capabilities of a tankless water heater. A possible solution is to install multiple tankless water heaters connected in a parallel for the whole house, or a separate tankless water heater for each appliance that uses a lot of hot water.
Tankless water heaters take up less space than standard water heaters, and they have a longer history of common use in space-conscious Europe than they do in the U.S. So not all local water heater contractors in San Mateo County are experts in tankless water heater installation, maintenance and repair. Before buying a tankless water heater or hiring for repair, ask how many tankless water heater installations or repairs they've done, over how many years, and what sizes, brands, and type (gas or electric).
If energy efficiency and lower utility bills are your goal, then ask the water heater contractor in San Mateo County about energy efficient standard water heaters. These water heaters have a storage tank in the traditional way, but also provide cost savings through lower energy use. Because these can cost much less than tankless water heaters, they may pay for themselves in energy efficiency sooner than a tankless water heater.
Solar water heaters can save money on energy bills versus gas or electric but the exact savings will depend on the system and how much sun your location gets throughout the year. Solar water heater installers should be able to demonstrate expected savings based on manufacturer studies or studies of their past customers. However, verify that the proven savings are from people in the same climate as you.
Solar hot water systems are to generate hot water only, and not to generate electricity for other appliances. Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and collectors. Most solar water heaters require a well-insulated storage tank. In two-tank systems, the solar water heater preheats water before it enters a conventional water heater. In one-tank systems, the back-up heater is combined with the solar storage in one tank.
There are two types of solar water heaters: ACTIVE, which have circulating pumps and controls, and less-expensive PASSIVE, which don't.
Direct Circulation Systems: Pumps circulate household water through the collectors and into the home. They work well in climates where it rarely freezes.
Indirect Circulation Systems: Pumps circulate a non-freezing, heat-transfer fluid through the collectors and a heat exchanger. This heats the water that then flows into the home. They are popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures.
Passive solar water heaters are typically less expensive than active systems, but they're usually not as efficient. However, passive systems can be more reliable and may last longer. There are two types.
Integral collector-storage passive systems: These work best in areas where temperatures rarely fall below freezing. They also work well in households with significant daytime and evening hot-water needs.
Thermosyphon systems: Water flows through the system when warm water rises as cooler water sinks. The collector must be installed below the storage tank so that warm water will rise into the tank. These systems are reliable, but solar water heater contractors must pay careful attention to the roof design because of the heavy storage tank. They are usually more expensive than integral collector-storage passive systems.
There are different types of boilers so when hiring for boiler repair in Redwood City CA, make sure the boiler repair company can prove lots of experience with exactly your kind of boiler. The same goes for a company you choose to buy a boiler from and to install a boiler.
Boilers come in different forms including hydronic boilers, fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, packaged boilers, fluidized bed combustion boilers, atmospheric fluidized combustion boilers, pressurized fluidized bed combustion boilers, circulating fluidized bed combustion boilers, stoker fired boilers, pulverized fuel boilers, waste heat boilers and thermic fluid boilers.
Hydronic boilers: Most commonly used for central heating systems of buildings and which uses hot water rather than forced hot air. Circulates hot water through the home to hydronic baseboard heaters or radiators. Is sometimes also configured to perform as a home's hot water heater at the same time.
Packaged boilers: Boilers that come manufactured as a complete package and needing only a water supply and fuel to be operational. Package boilers are usually fire tube boilers. Packaged boilers are rated based on the number of passes the hot gases make through the boiler and there can be one to three sets of fire tubes. A three pass unit with two sets of fire tubes is the most common type.
FBC Boilers (Fluidized Bed Combustion): Makes a bed of solid particles behave like a boiling fluid by suspending them in the air with high velocity air, heating it to the ignition temperature of coal and injecting coal into it, through which pass steam generation tubes. FBC boilers are more tolerant of low quality fuel like rice husks, agricultural waste, and coal and have a higher combustion efficiency that emits less pollution.
AFBC Boilers (Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion): A fluidized bed combustor is added to a conventional shell boiler such as a conventional water tube boiler.
PFBC Boilers (Pressurized Bed Combustion): The combustion efficiency and sulphur dioxide absorption of a fluidized bed is improved the use of a compressor to supply forced draft air into the combustion vessel which is pressurized.
CFBC Boilers (Atmospheric Circulating Fluidized Combustion): The solid particles of the fluidized bed are circulated by air flow including through a convection section where steam generation takes place, rather than with stream generation tubes immersed in the bed. CFBC boilers are usually more economical than AFBC boilers for industrial applications requiring more than 75 tons/hr of steam.
Stoker Fired Boilers: Typed by the method of feeding fuel to the furnace and type of grate. Main types are spreader stoker, and traveling gate stoker.
Spreader Stoker Boiler : Spreader stoker fired boilers use suspension burning and grate burning where coal particles burn above the burning bed while larger particles burn on the grate directly.
Traveling Gate Stoker Boiler: Coal is fed in on a moving steel grade. Also called a chain gate stoker boiler.
Pulverized Fuel Boilers: Use pulverized coal as fuel.
Waste Heat Boilers: Hot waste gas (heated air) as a byproduct of another machine (like exhaust from diesel engines or gas turbines) is fed into the boiler past the water tubes, heating it to steam. If the waste gas air is not hot enough itself, an auxiliary fuel burner is used to increase the temperature of the waste gas being used.
Thermic Fluid Heater Boilers: Use coal or other fuel to heat tubes filled with petroleum based fluids which circulate to transfer their heat to water, turning it to steam, then back again to be heated.

Exhaustion of Remedies
UncategorizedFebruary 20, 20200 comments
Below is an example of a provision in a long-term disability policy that can act as a "roadblock" to making a successful claim through the courts.  In this case, policies issued through UNUM had a provision that requires that all remedies be exhausted before suit could be filed.  If you have a problem making your claim, contact us -- we are here to help.
UNUM LTD Claimants Must Beware of Exhaustion of Remedies Roadblock
October 15, 2018, 9:00AM . By Anne Wallace
Is It possible to get to court by arguing that further plan appeals would be futile?
Chattanooga, TNOn September 25, 2018, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals granted UNUM Life Insurance's motion for summary judgment, thus ending Richard Ravenscraft's UNUM disability lawsuit on the grounds that he had not exhausted administrative remedies. These are the rocks on which many long term disability lawsuits have been dashed.
An earlier opinion in this case gives food for plenty of thought about whether disability claimants should be required to exhaust internal plan appeal procedures before going to court and what it means to show that trying to do so would be futile. The more quickly claimants can get to court for a fresh review of claims, the better their chances are. The more ways over, around or through the roadblock, the better.
Painful Knees Triggered Pharmacist's Disability Claim
Ravenscraft worked as a pharmacist and participated in a UNUM long term disability benefit plan, sponsored by his employer and covered by ERISA. He filed a claim in 1996 because of one knee replacement and serious problems with the un-replaced knee. His employer, through UNUM, denied the claim in 1997, more than 90 days after he filed his claim. ERISA requires that a plan respond to a claim within 90 days of the date that it was filed, although that period may be extended. The plan gave him another 60 days to submit additional information. He didn't. He filed this lawsuit instead. All this happened more than two decades ago, which illustrates part of the problem.
The Exhaustion Requirement
The general rule followed by most circuits is that a claimant whose application for benefits is denied must pursue all administrative appeal processes available before filing a lawsuit, unless doing so would be futile. This is one of those rules that appears to be reasonable on its face – plan administrators should have the opportunity to correct any mistakes before being sued — but may in fact work to the serious disadvantage of disability claimants.
It burns time for the claimant who is presumably not working and thus perhaps living on short term disability payments, savings, spouse or the kindness of strangers. Delay can be a plan administrator's greatest weapon in negotiating a paltry settlement. Some claimants simply abandon their claims and go back to work because they can no longer afford not to. ERISA does set time limits for a claim decision, but with extensions, delays, requests for additional medical records and examinations, the process can be very lengthy. Then, of course, determinations may be re-opened and the investigation and evaluation begun again.
There have also been serious arguments, as well, that plan administrators are biased against claimants in making claims determinations. In Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Glenn, the Supreme Court held that employee benefit plan administrators who both evaluate and pay claims suffer from a conflict of interest and courts should weigh this factor when reviewing benefit claims brought under ERISA. If this is true in an initial claims determination, it is only more so when it comes to an internal appeal from an initial claims determination.
Finally, although many jurisdictions follow the exhaustion rule, it does not appear in the text of ERISA, itself. Rather, it is a requirement that has arisen through court decisions, and courts have carved out many exceptions. The Second, Seventh and Eleventh Circuits have concluded that the requirement does not apply when not clearly required by plan documents. The Ninth Circuit has gone even farther, requiring that plan documents explicitly require exhaustion of remedies for the rule to apply. Many circuits do not apply it to claims based on statutory violations of ERISA. In short, the general rule is full of holes.
When Does "Futility" Apply?
The most frequently cited exception to the exhaustion rule is for circumstances in which administrative appeals would be "doomed to fail." Ravenscraft argued that further administrative appeals would have been futile because the plan administrator rendered its decision after the ninety-day period permitted under ERISA. That, according to the court, was not enough to show futility. What arguments have proved successful?

The successes tend to be very fact-specific and difficult to predict. They are also quite rare. In one case, the Sixth Circuit recognized that a further appeal would be futile where no similarly situated claim had ever succeeded. The Ninth Circuit found futility in the imprecise language of a plan administrator's denial when no actual review of the claim had occurred.
Disability claimants whose claims are denied should take no particular comfort in the apparent availability of futility exception. All this leads back to the central problem, recognized in Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Glenn, that claims determinations seem to occur on an un-level playing field. The fate of claimants often seems to depend on their ability to be able to present claims to a neutral third party. This may be an issue that ultimately requires a legislative solution.

So when it comes to things that scare me, introducing instability and tension into where you're supposed to be the safest really strikes a chord with me. What's so exciting and unstoppable about the horror genre is that I view it all as metaphorical exploration. It's the safe place that we, as a culture, can deal with things that upset and frighten us—the darker side of our nature. For whatever reason, I think the family is where that battleground is for me. Does each story begin, from a creative perspective, with your protagonists. I have to fall in love with the people in order to care about what happens to them, and to our plot, especially with the supernatural angle. In its most basic expression, genre can just take archetypal characters, throw them in the woods, and kill them one at a time. And a lot of those movies, as a viewer, I find myself rooting for the killer. There's a market for that, but it just doesn't resonate with me. So the last brush I use when we're working on the script is the genre brush. I'll often type 30-40 pages of script without any indication that it's a horror movie, and that typically tells me I'm on the right path. Then it's about going back and trying to honor the requirements of the genre, and making sure you've got tension and scares and atmosphere. It was scheduled for release earlier this month, and then disappeared (again) from the calendar.
Petrov. Definitely one of Bardoseneticcube's most singular and musical works, with a mixture of irradiated electronics, hazy lunar jazz, sedated drones and urban soundscapes. It is a split of three already well-known projects: Bardoseneticcube (St. Petersburg), Vresnit (Yaroslavl) e Kshatriy (Vsevolozhsk). Being active and variously cooperating in studios and at concerts, the authors have got a vision of joint release: this split is inspired by a condition of direct experience, transformation, sensation of a new life arrival, display and realization of nature, creativity comprehension as a natural form of being. Some tracks from each project are presented on the disk as a seven acts of creation. BARDOSENETICCUBE: Igor Potsukajlo together with Alla Ryzhenkovoj (traditional Russian vocal) and Edward Dragunov (overtone singing) have presented light Ambient with colorific electronic patterns. A unification of the interweaving beginnings in the solemn act of the world creation. A new act of the initiating resonance and contemplation of the universal art and boundless self-similarity with open hearts. Came to life from the subconsciousness, not more than distorted thoughts, karmic cockroaches, flying away through a window leaf. These compositions were recorded five years ago for an unreleased compilation of the same title, they overlaid their time and now come to the world. Starting off this disc is a 19 min track with Kriminaaliset Metsanhaltijat where the collab conjures up an dark ambient styled track with ominouse soundscapes, sparse vocals, the clang of metal objects. The second track Barrikad and Fear Konstruktor produce a synth warble with strange vocals.
He said that under the guidance of Narinder Modi various schemes which been launched which include, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Make in India, Bima Yojnas, Beti Bachao-Beti Padao, Smart city, Pahal and other such schemes for the benefit of all sections of the society. While addressing the meeting, Baldev said that landmark initiatives in the field of social security and skill development have been launched by the Prime Minister and the party workers should ensure that the benefits of these schemes reach to maximum number of beneficiaries. He said that the party functionaries have to work hard to make the people aware about the different programs and schemes which have been launched for enhancing the skill capabilities of the youth, adding that the nation has the largest pool of young workforce and with right kind of training the youth can contribute in nation building.

Being one of six selected from almost 230 submissions is such an honour. We had been thinking of this story very loosely as a feature film concept a couple of years ago. We also always knew the mother's struggle was going to be the heart of the film. When the submission time for Crazy8s came around this year, we thought it would be a great opportunity to explore the characters and concepts that we had been developing around these ideas. Or "AID" (Artificially Intelligent Device), as we call her. She looks human. Humans use emotion in their communication, so it is an important element built into each AID Nanny. For this reason, we didn't have any crazy special effects for her. What we did use visual effects for were the futuristic phones. Our VFX artist Bogdan Kondruik did a fantastic job with the help of Carlos Ditersa. It was an incredible feat given the time we had and the number of VFX shots they had to complete. Then five days to get the film edited, the sound design crafted and mixed, the visual effects completed and the colour correction done. (Well, less than five days actually, because we needed everything ready to go at 6 p.
Who needs Congress or the people if the president can make the decision on issues by himself. Trump's declaration does not reflect any sort of Reichstag fire moment. He is not suspending the Constitution or the rule of law. Past presidents have typically invoked emergency powers in good faith, and in ways that Congress intended—in response to terrorism or overseas conflicts, for instance. Trump is doing so purely for political gain, to show his flagging base of supporters that he's serious about fulfilling his signature campaign promise—even as polls show that a majority of Americans oppose the wall and the idea of declaring a national emergency to build it. rump insists that the situation at the southern border constitutes a "national security crisis," but the facts don't support his justification for declaring a state of emergency. Border crossings have been in steady decline for more than a decade, undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than American-born citizens, most drugs are smuggled into the U. . through or near legal ports of entry. He's thrown Senate Republicans in politically treacherous waters by forcing them to choose between the public's antipathy towards the wall and the GOP base's enthusiastic support for it. And he's set a precedent that may allow Democrats to achieve key policy goals without the Senate's consent the next time they take the White House. irst, Trump's declaration will likely have little practical impact in the short term. Legal challenges could place the wall funding in limbo for months or even years, like virtually every other major unilateral policy initiative rolled out by the administration.
The State unit of BJP terms such attempts by some parties in Jammu and Kashmir as most unfortunate and is confident that the Scheme will prove to be beneficial not for few, as alleged by opposition, but cover and benefit all those who are in the fields of trade, industry and transport. Putting forth party's view point on the decision of the state's coalition related to Amnesty Scheme, BJP State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, said that the step is in the interest of the traders, businessmen and industrialists, which will bring transparency in future. There is no need to panic as the motive to bring such scheme is to rejuvenate the trade and industry in the state. Balbir Ram Rattan said the provisions of this newly announced scheme offers 100 per cent remission of the penalty and interest on arrears of the tax in respects of all the dealers of the state. For the transporters also, it offers 100 per cent remission of penalty. It will, thus, streamline the system and make all the transactions in business more transparent. He said that the scheme also reflects the concern and seriousness on part of the coalition government to revive the industry and transport keeping in mind the losses being suffered not during the current mayhem in Kashmir but in the past as well.

the movements when we speak and eat, the rubbing of the brackets against the cheeks and lips may give rise to ulcers. In other cases, mouth ulcers may also be caused by the sharp edges of the teeth or the chewing of food such as crabs and prawns with their shells on.
Vitamin C deficiencies may prevent the wound healing process, thus contributing to mouth ulcers. Deficiencies in Iron, Vitamin B12 and zinc are often linked to the formation of ulcers. In addition, acidic food may also cause mouth ulcers.
An allergic reaction of the auto-immune system in response to chemical or biological agents may initiate the formation of ulcers. With this condition, it often feels that the ulcers appear out of nowhere.
Mouth ulcers normally will heal in 2 – 3 weeks. If there is no sign of healing after this period of time, you should see your dentist for a check-up as some oral cancers first appear as mouth ulcers.
There are many other causes that may initiate the appearance of mouth ulcers, such as; Fungal or Bacterial Infections and signs of certain medical conditions (e.g. Behcet's syndrome, Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, Herpangina).
Depending on the cause, the treatments recommended would differ.
For those with dental braces, request wax from your dentist so that you can use it to cover the brackets to minimize the abrasion from the metal to your mouth. Alternatively, there is a new innovation in teeth straightening, Invisalign, which straighten your teeth with a series of clear removable aligners. Without the brackets, it means it would be 'friendlier' to your mouth and result in less abrasion and mouth ulcers.
If the accidental biting or the rubbing of the sharp edges of your teeth is the cause, of the mouth ulcer, visit your dentist so that he or she can smoothen the sharp edges of your teeth/restorations.
The most important thing is to have a balanced diet. Where indicated, your doctor should also be able to advise you about the need for supplements.
What factors caused the mouth ulcers that you have experienced in the past? Get your mouth checked if this occurs too often. Make an appointment with our dental specialists online at www.specialistdentalgroup.com or call our clinic at (65) 6734 9393.

Julia Roberts as Grim Reaper
As depressing as it is to see an actress like the ebullient Julia Roberts transformed into a droopy-faced, grief-stricken shell, her new movie, Secret in Their Eyes is pretty entertaining. In fact, she's sort of the female equivalent to one of those characters played by Liam Neeson of late (in films such as Taken and Non-Stop). Roberts plays a Los Angeles detective whose daughter is murdered. By a cruel coincidence, Roberts and her partner, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) are the detectives called to investigate the crime scene, never suspecting the identity of the victim. The film jumps back and forth between 2002, during the immediate investigation of the murder, and the present day, after the case has gone cold.
Secret in Their Eyes isn't by any means a perfect thriller. And it's hard to say if anything you'll see in this grim procedural drama will differ much from any number of investigation-themed television dramas like Criminal Minds. But the yarn it unspools is compelling enough, and the film is bolstered by the performances of its three leads, especially Nicole Kidman as the district attorney who's caught between her obligation to follow the law and her devotion to her friend and colleague.
Secret in Their Eyes is in essence a revenge fantasy. As a culture, we've been primed for this kind of movie based on our incessant consumption of true crime TV. We're constantly fascinated by stories of murder and the devastation wrought on the victims' family members. We yearn for justice, yet we know that not even execution of the killer will bring back the dead. Revenge fantasies are deceptive, because they're a heightened version of a longing that cannot be fulfilled. Writer-director Billy Ray understands the double-edged nature of revenge, but he's also happy to milk the fantasy all the way to the bank.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this movie is the role of the September 11th attacks in halting the investigation. The prime suspect in the case is a valued informant, who's been feeding info to counter-terrorism detectives about a local mosque, a hub for suspected terrorists. The film tries to delve into a surprisingly complex moral problem: Is it morally right to keep a killer on the streets if doing so can prevent more deaths? (I'm not sure the movie satisfactorily answered this question; but it gets points for asking.)
Billy Ray favors convenient plotting, so every scene is primed for maximum plot juice, like an overripe orange. Ray likes his pulp extra-pulpy, and so we get such dramatic wallops as Julia Roberts sobbing over the dead body of her daughter, inside a dumpster; or the ongoing plot complication of a conflicted crush between Ejiofor and Kidman, who's married; or scenes of Roberts, now hardened by her grief, contemplating a little vigilante justice. "My daughter was the thing that made me me." This logic is unhealthy, and what's more, I think it is a truthful observation about too many parents. Of course, the loss of a child is a tragedy that probably no one can recover from fully, but the idea that your kids define you is troubling nonetheless.
Nicole Kidman stands out in her controlled, commanding performance as the D.A. In a scene in which she chides her colleague (Ejiofor) for badgering a suspect despite having no sufficient evidence against him, she goads the suspect into angrily striking out at her. It's a masterful bit of manipulation, and a reminder of Nicole Kidman's particular brand of deceptive power. She's seductive and the smartest person in the room. (But it's also decidedly sexist, because she insults his manhood, hoping it will anger him. When it does, he whips out his member in an act of pure brutishness. Earlier, though, Kidman congratulates Ejiofor on his gender sensitivity.)
Julia Roberts is very good—she has always had an earthy quality that's made her someone you can root for under any circumstances—but this character feels like a downer in light of her repertoire. It would be like seeing Cary Grant play the creepy pedophile Humbert Humbert in Lolita. We love Cary Grant for being Cary Grant, and we love Julia Roberts for being Julia Roberts. There's a little bit of that Julia Roberts here, but not much. And even though it feels wrong-headed to criticize an actress for doing something different, especially if she's proficient at it, I always wonder about the motivations of taking on such a role. Are we as a culture so dead to the Julia Roberts of Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich (a great performance)? Will we turn Julia Roberts into an angry sociopath as we have done Liam Neeson, who went from saving thousands of Jews during the Holocaust to becoming a taciturn, rich man's Rambo?
But all of these quibbles don't undercut the fact that I had a good time at this movie. Secret in Their Eyes has surprising moments of humor and some well-staged moments of suspense, even if it's an essentially dumb and emotionally manipulative experience. But the dumpster scene gave me chills; but I also felt irritated by it. Which kind of cinematic manipulation is acceptable, and which crosses a line? I'm not sure myself.
With Dean Norris (who's funny as Ejiofor's scrappy counterpart), Michael Kelly, Alfred Molina, Zoe Graham.

The Abbott Government has the opportunity to end the shroud of secrecy surrounding the awarding of $3 billion of Commonwealth funding for the East-West Link, Labor Senator for Victoria Kim Carr said today.
Last night the Australian Senate called on the Federal Government to produce documents relating to the East-West Link business case by July 7.
"This project has been shrouded in secrecy," Senator Carr said.
"Commonwealth funding of $3 billion is being handed over with scant detail provided.
"The Australian people deserve more information than has been provided.
"They deserve confidence that infrastructure decisions are based on rational planning, not grubby deals to prop up an ailing Liberal government in Victoria.
c) Any assessment by Infrastructure Australia of the priority of this project compared to other projects.

35. Campidoglio, history ad art
By www.romephotofuntours.com - Giulio D'Ercole
Either very early in the morning, at sunset or at night a walk to the Campidoglio, the Capitoline Hill of Rome is a must. Placed between the Forum and the Campus Martius, Campidoglio is in fact one of the seven hills of Rome and it is of a particular importance in Roman history and art.
The hill was earlier known as Mons Saturnius, the mountaind named after the god Saturn, while the word Capitolium first meant the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus , which was later built on it. The Capitolium was regarded by the Romans as indestructible, and was adopted as a symbol of eternity.
The Latin word Capitolinus changed in the 16th century to become Capitolino in Italian, while Capitolium translated to Campidoglio. The Capitoline Hill contains few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval and Renaissance palaces (now housing the Capitoline Museums). Most important is that the piazza (square), with its buildings was designed by Michelangelo in 1536–1546. At the height of his fame, he was commissioned by the Farnese Pope Paul III, who wanted a symbol of the new Rome to impress Charles V, who was expected in 1538. This offered him the opportunity to build a monumental civic plaza for a major city as well as to reestablish the grandeur of Rome. His plan was formidably extensive. He accentuated the reversal of the classical orientation of the Capitoline, in a symbolic gesture turning Rome's civic center to face away from the Roman Forum and instead in the direction of Papal Rome and the Christian church in the form of St. Peter's Basilica.
I believe that the best time to come here for the photography workshop is at sunset or late at night, when nobody is around and one can take gorgeous shots of the square from many different angles, focusing on the whole design of the square as well as on the very many details that embellish it.

Last year, September till begin December 2016, I was on Java (Indonesia) to capture the creative proces of Batik, Indonesian textile, on film. In 2009 Batik became to official UNESCO heritage of Indonesia. The technique of Batik, specifically Tulis ('Handwritten'), have been under pressure for a long time. In the film I try to show how creativity comes to live through the handmakers. There is a big role for Tari Batik, 'Batik Dance', performed by Dwi Anggraeni. This new traditional dance visualises the proces of making of a Batik. The dancer and Batik makers show how Batik is still being made today, under pressure but far from forgotten.
I'm happy to announce the first screening of my film!!
On the 14th of September 2017 during the Grand opening of the Asian Library my film 'The journey to Batik-Tari Batik' will be shown together with three other selected movies in the Cinema Room of the Asian Library at the University Leiden. The screening is part of the 'Tour of Asia' program and is organised by Framing Asia.

Barrels and Bearcats: Sober Sunday
Saturday was not a fun day if you're a fan of the University of Cincinnati men's athletics. In a rare double feature of Men's basketball and football Bearcats fan's got a double dose of a sobering reality in not one but two epic losses. Lets see if we can make some sense of it all.
AAC Championship Game
In a rematch with the Memphis Tigers the UC Bearcats fell short once again. This time to the tune of 29 – 24. Although the 5 point loss is better than the 10 point loss a week earlier the game left you saying "what if…"
… the Bearcats weren't the most penalized team in college football?
… the Bearcats could have just cut the penalties by a half? a third?
… the Bearcats the Bearcats could have beaten Memphis the first time?
… the Bearcats could catch the ball when they're wide open?
… the Bearcats had James Hudson this season?
… Ridder hadn't fumbled and lost the ball?
Ridder finally throws a dime and we just … can't
— GoBeercats (@GoBeercats) December 7, 2019
That's enough of that.
The Bearcats had plenty of opportunities to win that game on Saturday and the truth is they beat themselves. Two turnovers, 11 penalties for 70 yards, and by my count 8 dropped passes. For just the second time in 5 weeks the Bearcats actually outgained their opponent, 454 to 447 yards this time. Ridder threw for 233 yards and was the top rusher with 113 yards. Warren added in 99 yards on the ground on 23 carries. Alec Pierce caught 5 passes for 87 yards after struggling early.
On the defensive side of the ball Darrick Forest, Bryan Wright, Perry Young, and Jarell White were the leading tacklers with 9, 9, 8, and 7, respectively.
The Bearcats had a chance to win in the end and came up short once again. The loss left the Bearcats with the fact that Fickell has still yet to beat Memphis. Something that will almost definitely change next year with Memphis' coach leaving for Florida State and the Tigers travel to Nippert.
TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl
So after back to back losses and finishing this season 10-3 the UC Bearcats will take on Boston College in the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 2nd at 3pm. Boston College finished the season 6-6. Their six wins came against Virginia Tech, Richmond, Rutgers, NC State, Syracuse, and Pitt. Their six loses came against Kansas (what?!?!?), Wake Forest, Louisville, Florida State, Clemson, and Notre Dame.
What does this mean? It probably means that Boston College is a better football team than UC fans will give them credit for but they should also be an underdog against the Bearcats in this one.

UCF v Marshall – Gasparilla Bowl
SMU v FAU – Boca Raton Bowl
Temple v. UNC – Military Bowl
Navy v Kansas St – Liberty Bowl
Tulane v Southern Miss – Armed Forces Bowl
Memphis v Penn State – Cotton Bowl
The Crosstown Shootout
More like the Crosstown please shoot my eye out. The Bearcats continued Mick Cronin's streak of losing in Cintas with a 73 – 66 L to rival Xavier and haven't won back to back games against Xavier since 1994-1995! The home team has won nine of the last 11 in the series.
Naji Marshall lit up the Bearcats for a career high 31 points while Bearcats stand out Jarron Cumberland had his worst Shootout outing of his career with just 11 points. Jr. The Bearcats actually had 5 players in double figures with Keith Williams leading the Bearcats with 15 points. Javen had 14, Micah Adams-Woods 10, and Vogt with 10.
Xavier had 2 players in double figures, Marshall and Tyrique Jones with 10.
The Bearcats woes in the turnover department continue to build. They had 17 in this one to just 11 for Xavier. The Bearcats also lost in the assist department 17-9. The Bearcats outrebounded the Musketeers 41-36 and shot 4 more free throws but looked completely out of sorts late in the first half.
Here's my thought on the basketball Bearcats…
They've now lost to Ohio State, Bowling Green, and Xavier. How do they rank in just Ohio alone? The 4th or 5th best team?
Also, how many more chances do they get to accumulate qualities wins Their best win so far was against a depleted Vermont team then maybe UNLV. They also have a bad loss to Bowling Green. The Bearcats have Colgate, #21 Tennessee, and Iowa before conference play starts.
How many tournament teams are there in the American this year? Memphis.. and ? Is anyone else guaranteed to make the dance? Would beating everyone we're supposed to in conference play be enough? Lanardi has Memphis as the only teas from the American projected to make the field, as of the December 2nd.
Brutal.
The UC Bearcats hosts Colgate next Saturday. I hope to see you there.
The only bright spot of the weekend was the volleyball team.

This year RSU #54 activated its Dropout Prevention Committee. The committee is charged with developing strategies to reduce the District dropout rate and to improve student attendance and engagement at all grade levels. Students cannot succeed and thrive if they drop out, are habitually absent, or are not fully engaged in the learning process. An essential part of this undertaking requires us to develop a more comprehensive understanding of why students drop out of school, why chronic absenteeism is so prevalent, and why too many students are not fully invested in their education.
In an effort to better understand the dynamics that cause student dropout and absenteeism, our committee has created a survey designed to identify key factors that play a role in a student's decision to abandon school and disengage from learning. By developing a better understanding of these factors, we hope to lay a foundation that will allow us to begin the process of designing and implementing strategies to address this complex and frustrating problem. Our committee will share the results of this survey with District staff and in addition we ask for your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions in helping us to address this difficult dilemma.
Please read to students prior to survey administration.
This survey will be completed by district students in grades 5 through 12. These questions are being asked so that we might better understand the reasons students either attend, avoid or struggle in school. This survey is anonymous, so no one will know how you answered the questions.
We ask that you take time completing this survey. It is important that you answer each question thoughtfully and completely.
What you think does matter and we appreciate your time and effort. The information that you provide to us will be used to make changes that will reduce absenteeism and keep all students in school and engaged in learning. Working together we can create a better learning environment and experience for all District students.

Q: How to change the style.css?ver=5.4.1 in Wordpress? I am using WordPress and I have style page link
https://example.com/blog/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css?ver=5.4.1

I have to change from style.css?ver=5.4.1 to style.css?v=<?=time();?>
Is it possible to change it?
Why I am doing this
I don't know How can I explain my issue with style. Why I am doing this because if I change anything in the style.css that is not updating on the browser. I mean, I added some css using theme editor and when I check my website then I am not getting my latest CSS. But If I go and check the theme editor then my latest code is there.
I tried everything, I haven't set any cache on my website. As of now it's totally empty. I contact GoDaddy for this issue they said we can't help in this contact your developer.
Now what I am doing is, My style.css file is totally empty and I create one more css file called main-style.css and I am adding all my css there. This file also the same issue. Then What I am doing. First I download this file then I add some css as per requirement and upload again then my css working.

A: When you enqueue the style, you can use filemtime() as the version:
<?php
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_367594_enqueue_version');
function wpse_367594_enqueue_version() {
    wp_enqueue_style(
        // Update this to your slug.
        'style-slug',
        // Update to your stylesheet URL if it's not the main style.css.
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        // Include dependencies here or pass an empty array.
        array('theme-dependency'),
        // Here's the line that sets the version.
        filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css' ),
        'screen'
    );
}
?>

That should bust most layers of caching so visitors see the latest version whenever the file is updated.

A: Finally, I got my solution, I don't know it's the best way or not but it's solved my issue.
What I did, I checked function.php file and found below code
function themename_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'themename-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array(), _S_VERSION );
    wp_style_add_data( 'themename-style', 'rtl', 'replace' );

    wp_enqueue_script( 'themename-navigation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/navigation.js', array(), _S_VERSION, true );

    if ( is_singular() && comments_open() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'themename_scripts' );

Then I remove _S_VERSION from below code and added time()
 wp_enqueue_style( 'themename-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array(), time() );

and I got my output it is displaying like
<link rel='stylesheet' id='main-styles-css'  href='http://test.com/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css?ver=1597849143' media='' />
