The good news about taking action to mitigate climate change is that the same policies that reduce carbon emissions can provide immediate and significant health benefits. Active transportation, reducing air pollution from transportation and energy production, greening our public spaces, and prioritizing plant-based foods are both good for us and good for our climate. In an era where climate science is continually questioned, the cost savings and health benefits of climate change mitigation offer powerful justification for policy change.
Why do we care about co-benefits? Notes from two of our Climate & Health Task Force members, and authors of WPSR's recently released paper, "The Health Co-Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation in Washington State".
"As a cardiologist, I see firsthand how the consequences of air pollution and climate change impact my patients. With Washington seeing new proposals for policies that put a price on carbon pollution, we hope this paper will encourage action." - Mark Vossler, MD, Co-Chair of WPSR's Climate & Health Task Force.
In February, 2018, members of our Climate & Health Task Force released a peer-reviewed report focusing co-benefits research on Washington State. It outlines these co-benefits and offers specific policy recommendations to support health and reduce emissions in Washington.
How can Washington State realize these co-benefits? This fact sheet offers concrete policy recommendations.
What are co-benefits, and how can we see and apply them in our daily habits and behavior? This infographic offers a basic overview.

Andrew Bird on the tropes of indie musicians and how comedians shape his music
Features News
By Jennifer Hoddinett
Shout Jennifer Hoddinett a coffee
"I feel like a comedian on the stage." They're words you don't expect from violin virtuoso and lyrical maestro Andrew Bird, whose most recent record, Are You Serious, saw the 43-year-old exploring his most autobiographical terrain yet.
After a year of touring the album, Bird finds his appreciation for candour and "cutting to the quick" extending into his shows as well.
"I really do feel like a comedian," he explains. "I just adopt a similar sort of shrug of the shoulders. You know, 'I'm up here, you're down there; this is a funny situation we find ourselves in.'
"I just like to acknowledge that we're all here. I don't like to have the feeling that I'm just presenting my 12 songs from the new record for you, but that something real is happening."
For Bird, the essence of what's 'real' boils down to humour and honesty. Even during our garbled LA to Sydney phone call, he is courteous and open – surprising for an artist whose discography revolves around lyrical obscurity. He doesn't shy away from discussing the strange sensation of returning home after life on the road.
"Every night you're used to going onstage. You're used to getting the shakes. Used to thinking, 'Something important is supposed to be happening right now.' But then here I am, reading a story to my son. It's just a different situation, [like] the bends."
In conversation, as on record, Bird threads his words together with care. Not to evade, but as if to make each reply something of worth. It's a similar desire for genuineness that leads him to watch the tropes of some other indie performances – the emotional exposés, exuberant gestures, obligatory crowd banter – with an impressed bemusement.
"Why do we have to be so damn interesting? Why do we make it so hard for ourselves? All I want to do is sing a nice melody."
He's only being half-serious, of course, but it's precisely this strange middle ground between earnestness and theatrics that gave Bird the name of his album.
"I came up with [Are You Serious] based on doing a lot of shows with comedians," he says. "One second people are laughing at a joke about pizza or sex, and then you come on and suddenly everyone recalibrates themselves thinking, 'Here comes the songwriter with his precious thoughts and feelings.' You might be ready to do a song that's totally tongue-in-cheek and weird, but it doesn't matter – they still expect you to be sharing the depths of your innermost feelings. It's a strange dynamic, but I enjoy it."
One such tongue-in-cheek moment comes in the form of 'Left Handed Kisses', a feisty musical duet (or standoff, rather) between Bird and Fiona Apple.
"I love how that song unfolded in a strange way," Bird says. "It started off as a challenge to myself to write a love song knowing that, left to my own devices, it would go horribly wrong," he laughs.
"I started writing from my point of view and this other voice crept into my head saying, 'You're totally full of shit.' That voice became Fiona – she helped me get into character. When she opened her mouth, I felt just like that guy that can't quite express himself. It was perfect."
The other tracks on Are You Serious are completely Bird: no characters, no aloof third-person pronouns. He tackles issues on the home front like fatherhood, relocation and even his wife's cancer diagnosis in 'Puma'.
"I haven't written songs that exposed and matter-of-fact before," he says. "Usually it's embedded deep in there and no one would presume that it's about this or that personally. ['Puma'] gave me some pause before I wrote it, but I couldn't help it. I write about the things I care about, always have. It's just life has never gotten that real until now, so there's a song."
This philosophy of reacting to the world around him is what Bird brings to his performances also.
"I don't like to play the same way every night. Depending on the environment, the songs mean different things and feel different and sound different. Take 'Capsized', for instance. I've been doing that song for 15 years in different forms, because it changes according to how I feel. That's why it was so hard to nail down on a record for so many years.
"We feel differently every 15 minutes; why shouldn't our music change as well? They're the songs that have the longest life, the ones that are just blueprints that allow present feelings to come true."
For Bird, this means every time he performs – whether in his living room alongside other musicians for a Great Room session, or before thousands at the Sydney Opera House or Bluesfest – there's always an added risk. But for him, this is where the reward is too.
"People can tell when you're going out on a limb and you're playing something that's never been played before. I still have faith in that. I play with people who believe that. They appreciate a good, concise pop song, but nonetheless [they say], 'Let's make this show different.'"
Andrew Bird appears at Bluesfest 2017, running Thursday April 13 – Monday April 17 at Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm; and the Sydney Opera House on Saturday April 15. Are You Serious is out now through Loma Vista/Universal.

This was a quality of life improvement? Sounds like a huge nerf... You need MORE Spell Haste Rating to get the SAME percentage of Haste.
I had forgotten how very specific and targeted patch notes used to be.
this was because haste started to affect channeled spells with this patch, so it was nerfed to compensate for the fact that it'd be worth more.
"In the Black Morass, gnomes are now able to run through the water like other races." Still not completely true... It helped but to this day there are still parts that are too deep for Gnomes.
Thats because they didnt do hotfixes every other day. Had to wait till a patch for bug fixes.
This is how a patch SHOULD be; a great deal of content as opposed to one new faction and a billion dailies with little to no reward. I want patches like this again.
If I remember, you couldn't enter the raid unless you were attuned.
And 90% of these notes are bug fixes or balancing changes.
You probably didn't even read a quarter of it, did you?
was about to say the same thing. man have they gone downhill in the details..
Well, no. As others have said, Blizzard only did balance and bug fixes in major patches back then.
Take the patch notes for 7.2 and append every bug fix and balance change to them from 7.1 to 7.2 and see how long and detailed they would be. Remove those from these notes and you don't have a lot left, do you?
And yeah, since basically this patch is adding one raid and three daily hubs, people saying I wish there was content like this again are kind of funny.
"Sap no longer removes you from stealth when used." Single greatest QoL improvement in the game. No longer did rogues have to coordinate their saps to CC large packs in LBRS without instant-dying.
You realize that all 3 new factions were just daily hubs, right?
I LoLed so hard on this... They did that in Black Morass, but in future areas they simply wen't back to old stuff. I remember walking thru the area where you learn how to prepare arcwine in Suramar, all other races but gnomes and goblins walk over the water. With these two you have to swim ROFL.
And yet, it's still better than 7.2 which added a worse WQ area with no real plot and a dungeon that honestly, was rather forgettable.

The enduring charm of Wimbledon and some of its epic encounters
ARIJEET DUTTA July 3, 2017	Tennis
Ask any tennis player in world as to which tournament they would love to win in their career ? The answer would definitely be Wimbledon. With so much aura and fame attached to the championships, this premier Grass court event has it's own charm and appeal . It is this tournament where tradition is respected. Unlike other tournaments where flashy coloured clothing is allowed, in Wimbledon its white all the way. Along with the white dress code comes another norm, the delicacy of strawberry and cream.
All this makes this championships really special. And over the years the championships had the rare honour to witness epic encounters between players that are simply stuffs of legends.
Here one goes down the memory lane and takes a look at some of the scintillating matches on the famous centre court. The matches that are always remembered in the rich history of Wimbledon.
1980 – Men's Singles Final : Bjorn Borg (Sweden) beat John McEnroe (US)
Score : 1-6, 7-5, 6-3,6-7 (16-18), 8-6
For the ice-cool Swede Bjorn Rune Borg it was his record fifth straight Wimbledon championship, 1980, it was termed as an all-time great final ever . Borg was stymied on five match points and saved six set points before warding off a stiff challenge from McEnroe. It was largely due to his famous resolve and iron determination that finally saw him win the title in the fifth set . Having ruled the centre court from 197-1980, the great Swede he was finally dethroned by McEnroe a year later in the 1981 final. The loss to the American left- hander ended Bjorn's incredible year, 41-match Wimbledon run. Borg's great run at Wimbledon has ensured his name as one of the greatest players ever to have played at Wimbledon and his stupendous career with 11 Grand slams meant that he is considered as one of the icons of the game .
1984 Men's singles finals : John McEnroe ( US) beat Jimmy Connors ( US )
Score : 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
In one of the most devastating displays John McEnroe playing sublime tennis would do hardly any thing wrong in this all American finals. He made his compatriot Jimmy Connors look like a novice . McEnroe played like dream, he served brilliantly and volleyed like a genius at the net and hardly gave the fighter that Connors was known for simply no chance to settle down. Not only did McEnroe win here thrice in his legendary career, but the temperamental American left – hander was one of the crowd favourite .
People loved his mannerisms and referees were always on the edge of their seat when the big Mac took the court as he would often give them a stare after in the vent of a close line- call. All this characteristics made John McEnroe a legend and this demolition of Connors is termed one of the most ruthless wins by any player in the finals of Wimbledon .
1985 Men's singles finals : Boris Becker beat Kevin Curren
Score : 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.
A history was created on the centre court when an unknown and unseeded 17 year –old sensation from West Germany Boris Becker stunned the tennis world by winning the title. Becoming the first unseeded and the youngest ever men's champion. Not many had expected him to win since his rival in the final South African born American Kevin Curren had in the semis- done some thing unthinkable- upsetting the great John McEnroe. But the young German was now overawed by the occasion. Playing tennis like as if his life depended on it he stunned Curren with his awesome display of power tennis. He served powerfully and made some astonishing diving volleys at the net. A sight never seen before at Wimbledon.
He won here thrice and having played in seven finals he was beyond doubt one of the favourites. Besides his powerful game , Becker was one of the game's biggest characters and it is to his stunning win that had put his country in the tennis map , which till his Wimbledon triumph in 1985 was known for its prowess in football.
1988 : Steffi Graf beat Martina Navratilova : 5-7, 6-2, 6-1
If Boris Becker was the role model for the men's tennis in Germany, then his country woman Steffi Graf was the one among the women. Having lost to the legendary American Martina navratilova in the finals in 1987 , the 18- year old German was determined to avenge her loss. Moreover, Steffi Graf before coming into the Championships was in supreme form. She had already won the Australian and the French Open emphatically. The 5ft9 inch athletic German was simply demolishing her rivals with her big serve and her absolutely lethal powerful forehand . In the finals too, in the beginning it looked as if Martina's experience would once again prevail as she had won the first set. But the German, came back strongly and covering the court with amazing speed and athleticism powered to win the title by claiming the next two sets. Martina's long reign as the master on grass was ended by this powerful German . For Graf would win this famous championships seven times in her great career but it was her win over Martina that signalled that the American domination was truly over and the world tennis had a seen the arrival of new tennis queen.
1992 Men's singles finals : Andre Agassi beat Goran Ivanisevic 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4
For Andre Agassi the win at Wimbledon ended that jinx that he did not have it him to win the big events. In the finals he overcame the big- serving Goran Ivanisevic in a classic five set encounter. Te match was marked by Ivanesivic's trademark big serves and Agassi's strong baseline game and his ability to hit winners from the back of the court. Ivanesivic had in the tournament knocked out his rivals with his unplayable big serves. For Agassi considered to be the best returner of the serve in the game, it was an uphill task . And Agassi managed to hold on to the Goran's onslaught and survived 37 aces to win a fairy tale triumph.
2000: Men's Singles finals : Pete Sampras beat Patrick Rafter
Score : 6-7 (10-12), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-2
American tennis great Pete Sampras etched his name in history by his win over Australian serve and volleyer Pat Rafter . It enabled him to win his seventh Wimbledon title and more importantly win a record-breaking 13th Grand Slam championship. "Pistol Pete" as Sampras was fondly called served 27 aces and whipped 13 passing shot winners to beat Rafter 6-7 (10-12), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-2 in a rain-delayed match that ended at dusk. The score-line was much closer then it was finally. The match produced scintillating tennis from both men. Both players delighted the crowd with their court coverage , serve and dazzling volleys at the net . Rafter played brilliantly but unfortunately could not break the Sampras serve on numerous occasions. The American used his clever variation in his first and second serve to thwart the Australian's hopes . It was this inability to break the Sampras serve that cost Rafter the match.
2008 : Men's singles finals : Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer
Score : 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7
This Federer-Nadal meeting on the famous grass courts at Wimbledon had it all. Federer was chasing a sixth consecutive Wimbledon title while Nadal was trying to emulate Bjorn Borg's French Open-Wimbledon double in 1980.
Nadal made the better start and won the first two sets before rain intervened. The 80-minute stoppage disrupted the Spaniard's momentum as Federer came roaring back to win the third and fourth sets.
Federer was within two points of victory in the decider, but Nadal held his nerve to prevail 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7 in the London darkness. After the match, tennis legend John McEnroe was quoted as saying: "This is the greatest match I've ever seen."
A history was created on the centre court when an unknown and unseeded 17 year –old sensation from West Germany Boris Becker stunned the tennis world by winning the title.

Democrats Bet on Mueller Delivering the Goods. What If He Doesn't?
For a year and a half, leading Democrats argued that the safest response when asked about the Russia investigation was to defer to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, saying they just want to make sure he can complete his work.
But with rumors swirling that Mueller may be close to finishing, some now think that was the risky choice after all.
Several worst-case scenarios now loom for Democrats. The special counsel's report could get tangled up in a separation of powers dispute and never see the light of day. Mueller or Attorney General William Barr could choose to leave out the parts about Trump since he's not being charged with a crime. The report could have a lot of circumstantial evidence but no smoking gun. Or the report, whether damaging to Trump or not, could land with a thud, with Republicans claiming vindication and Democrats seething in anger.
Any one of those outcomes puts Democrats in a bind, especially given their previous statements on Mueller.
To be sure, if Mueller's report contains explosive details and becomes public, Democrats will have made the right choice in letting his investigation play out. But if it doesn't, they are sure to take heat — not only from Republicans, but from within their own ranks. The progressive wing of the Democratic party, which has been agitating to take impeachment seriously, will almost inevitably harp on the fact that Democrats wasted precious time waiting for the Mueller report, and begin an even more vocal push to try to remove him from office.
Tom Steyer, the California billionaire and a leader of this movement — he has committed nearly $100 million towards impeachment efforts — said he never thought the report would actually move the needle, and that it was essentially a procrastination technique for congressional Democrats.
"I always felt the words 'wait for the Mueller report' were a very ill-considered and mistaken idea to actually put off what we've always known needs to happen — to expose this President, to expose him publicly to the American people, and then remove him from office and get rid of him as fast as possible," he said.
But before Democrats even contend with the contents of the Mueller report, they are gearing up for a fight to even see it.
Under current regulations, the Justice Department has no obligation to submit the report in full to Congress. Mueller needs to submit a report to Attorney General William Barr, who then has jurisdiction over how much he releases. The only thing Barr is required to tell Congress is when he declined to follow Mueller's recommendations, including for prosecution. Beyond that, he has broad discretion.
Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, have made clear they will not be satisfied with anything but a full report. In a Feb. 22 letter to Barr, six chairs of the most powerful committees in the House of Representatives urged him to release the report to the public "without delay and to the maximum extent permitted by law." They also specified that once it is released to the public, members Congress confidentially receive any redacted parts to discern whether such omissions were necessary.
Democrats also have public opinion on their side when it comes to publicizing the report. Eighty-seven percent of Americans, including 80 percent who identify as Republicans, say the report should be released publicly, according to a February 2019 poll from CNN. This sentiment aligns with those of Republican lawmakers and aides on Capitol Hill, who think the more information that is released in the open the better.
The last time so much was riding on this type of report was arguably two decades ago when Ken Starr, who served as independent counsel in Bill Clinton's White House, released his findings revealing that the president had lied under oath about an extramarital affair. Ultimately, these revelations led to Clinton's impeachment in the House.
But there was a key difference: Starr, who was operating under a different set of rules, was required to submit the report in its entirety to Congress. Now, thanks to rules adopted after the Starr Report, legal and Congressional experts argue, Democrats and the Justice Department are essentially wading into uncharted waters.
The law Mueller is now working under, said Charles Tiefer, a law professor at the University of Baltimore who was deputy chief counsel for the House committee investigating the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980s, have made it much easier for the Justice Department to curtail Congress' access to their work. "It is unprecedented for the attorney general to have such power to block and screen and suppress," he said.
While the regulations present a hurdle for Congress, veterans of investigations are confident lawmakers will ultimately get what they need. House Democrats are now armed with subpoena power, and have made clear they will use it to get the report.
But experts also caution that these actions could produce a showdown between the legislative and executive branch that won't end neatly or in a timely fashion, likely ending in a showdown at the Supreme Court.

Q: found scala.Int(0) required Int 0 I am new to scala, and I am running some exercises from book about to implement a List.
I have a method sum to add all numbers in list. I use TDD approach, so first I just return 0 to make it fail. But the compile complains that type mismatch. It expects Int but received a scala.Int.
def sum[Int](as: MList[Int]): Int =
{
    0
}

Complain messages:
MList.scala:17: error: type mismatch;
 found   : scala.Int(0)
 required: Int
    0
    ^
one error found

So I try to changed to
def sum[scala.Int](as: MList[scala.Int]): scala.Int =
{
    0
}

Compiler complains that . should not exist in [scala.Int].
I also tried cast 0 to new Int(0), Int(0), (Int)0, new Int (I come from C++) to match the return type, and it didn't work too.
What's difference between scala.Int(0) and a literal 0? Is that I forget to include some package like built-in number package?

A: The problem is that, here
def sum[Int](as: MList[Int]): Int = 0
       ^^^^^

You're declaring a new type called Int that shadows scala.Int.
Your sum method is generic, and Int is the name of its type parameter.
Just remove the type parameter.
def sum(as: MList[Int]): Int = 0

So many people go without a hot meal during the Christmas season. Once again, we are going to provide the turkey and gravy for each holiday dinner at Our Daily Bread (near Findlay Market). These dinners have been a service of our parish for about 20 years.
•Cook turkey; cut all meat off the bones. Wrap white and dark meat together and freeze. Save ALL drippings. STRAIN and freeze in a throw-away container. The gravy makers ask that you DO NOT use plastic bags for the juice (they leak). Use hard plastic containers such as Cool Whip tubs.
Please sign our clipboard attached to the refrigerator with your name, address, telephone number, and the date so we can keep the records current.
Deliver to the St John Parish Office during normal business hours before Dec. 21, 2015. No uncooked turkeys accepted after Dec. 13. If you have any further questions, call Marianne Ball at 777-6433, ext. 119. Thank you for your help!

When Bob Goebel left home to join the Army Air Corps in 1942, he was 19 years old and a high school graduate. Cadet Goebel worked his way steadily through Basic, Primary, and Advanced phases of military flight training, and found in himself an aptitude for flight. After graduation from flight school, with his new wings and new commission as a 2d Lieutenant, he and his classmates were posted to a fighter squadron defending the Panama Canal. By the spring of 1944 he was on his way to Italy and the 31st Fighter Group, one of the top fighter outfits of the war. He was also headed for a new aircraft, the legendary P-51 Mustang. After 61 combat missions now Captain Goebel was officially credited with 11 victories in his Mustang. Returning home in September 1944, he was not yet 21 years old.
Goebel's memoir is a classic of combat aviation, giving the listener a true sense of what it was like to fly and fight as a World War II fighter pilot. It covers stories about the often overlooked 12th AF in Italy, and tales of flying the classic P-51D, America's ultimate piston-engined fighter.
About the Author: Following the war, Robert J. Goebel attended college on the GI Bill, earning a degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin. Returning to the air force, he served on active duty for almost 30 years, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1966 after working on the Gemini launch vehicle for NASA. He then worked in the aerospace industry, including on the Skylab project. The author died in February, 2012, just days short of his 88th birthday. He was preceded into the unknown, in 2006, by his wife, June.

Protein-Based Therapeutics: An Alternative to Antibiotics in Animals

January 11, 2021 4 minsUpdated on January 4, 2022
A treatment derived from natural milk proteins is being heralded as a possible replacement for antibiotics in animals, and perhaps even humans.
David Javier Iscovich, CEO and co-founder of Israel-based Mileutis, said IMILAC could help treat cows and have widespread implications for human health. He explained:
"The World Health Organization (WHO) states that using antibiotics in food animals may have a negative impact on human health by inducing the spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens that may spread to people. Antibiotic resistance is a major global health problem and causes one death every 15 minutes in the US alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Worldwide, it is estimated that antimicrobial resistance is responsible for 700,000 deaths each year globally, and this is predicted to rise to 10 million."
Mileutis, established by Mr Iscovich and his father Dr Jose Iscovich, is a clinical-stage company that develops and commercializes natural bioactive peptides derived from milk proteins. The company's biopharmaceutical products are focused on chronic and infectious diseases, in order to enable significant reductions in antibiotic use in human and animal health management.
David Javier Iscovich added:
"On the animal health market, Mileutis develops products for mastitis and metritis, among other diseases. IMILAC, the company's leading product for dry cow therapy management, consists of an intra-mammary formulation derived from natural milk proteins. The animal health application of IMILAC is to prevent and treat intramammary infections (mastitis) in food-producing animals through an immune-stimulatory mode of action."
Boosting the Immune System
IMILAC aims to prevent and treat mastitis by enhancing the resident (or innate) immune system within the animals' mammary glands. This occurs through the augmentation of humoral components, which makes mammary epithelial cells; monocytes, macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophils, activate and function faster.

He suggested:
"We believe that we can replace all the antibiotics used for prevention and the vast majority of treatments for curing mastitis and metritis [inflammation of the uterus]. Together, these represent around 90% of all antibiotics in the dairy industry. As such, the dispersion effect of pathogen-resistant bacteria from the dairy barns to the consumer will be drastically reduced and, furthermore, the slope of AMR development will be reduced."
An Alternative for Humans?
In addition to improving human health by reducing AMR, Mileutis hopes to take its therapeutics beyond the dairy industry with other products. The hope is that humans too might one day be treated with similar products. Mr Iscovich said:
"There is significant potential for human health besides the contribution for the reduction of the AMR. Currently, breastfeeding mothers are administered with antibiotics upon the occurrence of mastitis. But many mothers refuse to be treated in this way in order for the antibiotics not to be delivered through the breastfeeding process to the baby."
By stimulating the human immune system instead, IMILAC or a derivative could offer a realistic alternative.
"Our platform will pave the way towards the development of additional therapies for human as well as animal health."

Q: Twig templates hierarchy Can I have template folders in some hierarchy way, like in a following analog:
View: Hey, can I render this template?
Twig: Sure bro, let me check in abc/directory...
Twig: Here you go!
View: Thanks bro!

Analog 2:
View: Hey, can I render this template?
Twig: Sure let me check in abc/directory...
Twig: Blasted balls! It doesn't exists, let me check in the bbc/directory instead.
Twig: Here you go!
View: Thanks bro!

Final analog:
View: Hey, can I have this template?
Twig: Sure let me check in abc/directory...
Twig: Blasted balls! It doesn't exists, let me check in the bbc/directory instead.
Twig: Exception!
View: Wait what?

As you can see, I'm looking to have templates in many folders, and I simply want them to be found in a certain way,  I couldn't find any in the Twig documentation about having multiple folders especially not in some hierarchy way.
Oh and by the way, the directory structure is as follows:
abc/
  bbc/
    templates/
  ddc/
    templates/
  ccc/
    templates/

adc
  templates/

The bbc, ddc, and ccc templates are "modules".
Any solutions?

Q: What is the best way to calculate speeds at other points in a venturi-tube when knowing one? I and a friend have made a venturi tube trough which water flows at a low speed. The flow is therefore laminar. We measured the static pressure using some piëzometers at the points 1,2 and 3. We know the average velocity with which the water flows at the end of reservoir 3.
My friend suggests calculating the speeds at other resvoirs(1,2) of the venturi-tube by using the volumetric flow rate. We namely know the cross-sectional area of the venturi tube at all places.
I however don't think this volumetric flow rate will stay the same because of frictional losses, and so prefer to calculating the speed by using a bernoulli equation with a head loss incorporated in it. What's best to calculate the other speeds in this situation? Or are we both completely wrong?!
Diameter of the venturi tube at different points:

*

*Point 1: 17 mm

*Point 2: 13 mm

*Point 3: 10 mm

Measured static pressure at points:

*

*Point 1: 106503 Pa

*Point 2: 105375 Pa

*Point 3: 102903 Pa

Measured velocity at the end of reservoir 3:
1.8 m/s
Differences between methods:

*

*Calculated head loss between the end of reservoir 2 and the end of
reservoir 3 : 0.1208901666 Pa

*Calculated velocity at the end of reservoir 2
using bermoulli with head loss: 0.81 m/s

*Calculated velocity at the end of reservoir 2 using constant volumetric flow rate and area changes: 1.06 m/s

A: The volumetric flow rate has to stay the same, because the same amount of water flows out of the tube as flows into it. The only way for the volumetric flow rate to change along the tube would be if there was a leak. Friction (i.e. viscous drag) can't change the volumetric flow rate, all it can do is change the pressure gradient along the tube.
So you are safe to use your friend's suggestion for calculating the average velocity. Note that this will be an average because the flow velocity is zero at the walls and rises to a maximum at the centre of the tube.

Q: Umbraco7: Set up multiple /media/ blob containers within the same Azure Storage account We have multiple Umbraco sites that we need to migrate from an on-premise to Azure web apps.
Each site has its own /media/ folder and as all the images require a big storage space (~2gb) and many read/write operations, we thought of using an Azure Storage Account via Blob containers solution for this.
Is it correct to say that using a single Azure Storage Account to serve all the sites' /media folders via Blob containers will cut costs rather than using separate storage accounts for every site?
We've found the UmbracoFileSystemProviders.Azure package which is great, but can't find any details on how to achieve what's stated in the title of this post.
Question: How can we set up multiple /media/ blob containers within the same Azure Storage account to serve the images of multiple Umbraco sites?

A: You can indeed use the one Azure Storage Account; just set up different blob containers for each website - they actually don't need to be called "media".  for example, I've set the containerName to Site1Media in the following example:
  <Provider alias="media" type="Our.Umbraco.FileSystemProviders.Azure.AzureBlobFileSystem, Our.Umbraco.FileSystemProviders.Azure">
<Parameters>
    <add key="containerName" value="Site1Media"/>
    <add key="rootUrl" value="https://youritteam.blob.core.windows.net/"/>
    <add key="connectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=[Account];AccountKey=[Key]"/>
    <!--
    Optional configuration value determining the maximum number of days to cache items in the browser.
    Defaults to 365 days.
  -->
    <add key="maxDays" value="365"/>
    <!--
    When true this allows the VirtualPathProvider to use the deafult "media" route prefix regardless
    of the container name.
  -->
    <add key="useDefaultRoute" value="true"/>
    <!--
    When true blob containers will be private instead of public what means that you can't access the original blob file directly from its blob url.
  -->
    <add key="usePrivateContainer" value="false"/>
</Parameters>

The other thing about Azure Storage is that you only pay for the data you use; so it's not going to cost you extra to set up multiple Storage Accounts - there's probably very little benefit in having one Storage Account for multiple websites; and you may find it much easier later on to have one Storage Account per website - particularly if you want to move the website to another subscription down the track.


It provides details about your health, your lifestyle preferences and the options you would like for treatment and care. Such a plan is typically developed by you with the guidance of your doctor and/or other healthcare professionals.
One aspect of health care ready to jump into the future is that of the personal care plan. Most doctors, nurses, and hospitals work with care plans for most patients—but no two are quite alike. They are rarely shared across the full care team and even more rarely shared with the patient. Over the next few years, all that will change dramatically.
Care Plans 2.0 is an aspirational look into the future of care plans. The vision was created by a coalition of forward-thinking consumer champions as part of the Consumer Partnership for eHealth. Healthwise is a participating member of the Partnership.
Care plans should be focused on the patient's goals that evolve with the changing needs of the patient.
They should allow care team members, including the patient, to access and add to the care plan.
They should identify barriers to the patient's success in achieving the desired goals.
They should specify accountabilities for both the patient and provider appropriate to each's abilities.
They should benefit and be made available for every person, without exception.
Care Plan 2.0 provides a good start for envisioning a future with more coordinated care. Each person's plan would evolve from a wellness base, through the management of chronic conditions, and all the way to care and support near the end of life. At every stage, the care plan should identify the individual's most meaningful goals at that time and then create a path to support achievement of the goal.
For the young and healthy, the goals may well focus on wellness and the ability to get full enjoyment out of life while avoiding risks that could later threaten one's health.
For the chronically ill, the care plan may be set on assuring that every care team member is part of a coordinated team with a common treatment goal aligned with the goals of the patient.
And for those who are frail and at high risk, the care plan should help assure that the care they receive is well-matched to their personal preferences.
While today it may seem that we remain a long way off from the aspirational care plans described above, the future is coming toward us at a remarkable pace. With a big push from the Partnership, from the Meaningful Use 3 rules, and from the triple-aim demands of accountable care, the future will be here much faster than you might think. Why not be ready to catch it?
Why not indeed! Does this approach make sense to you? Although you might not take steps to formulate a personal care plan, we at Sukham believe that investing a little time thinking about what might go into such a plan for yourself will help clarify your thinking, define your priorities and desires, and help you in health-related decisions.


This deeply colored, elegant red from the Toro region is traditionally associated with bull-fighting, bull running and for it's gusty robust reds.
30% of the wine is made traditionally undergoing controlled fermentation at 81 degrees F for 15 days. 70% undergoes delestage for five days. The grapes are picked from bush wines with no irrigation. Delastage and micro-oxygenation to extract color and aroma while toning down the tannins. The juice is spent in French oak barrels for two months.
This wine has a dark ruby color with violet hints at the rim, clean and bright. It is deep and intense with ripe fruit and toasted aromas. Rich, red fruit with well integrated oak on the palate, with a smooth and long finish.
This wine pairs well with South American cuisine, savory dishes and nice hearty soups and stews.

Q: Clock Generation from Oscillator Is there specific standard ways to generate clocks from oscillators? Referring to generating a square-wave clock from a sinusoidal oscillator output.
I can think of a few circuits involving diodes as well as using a chain of op-amps as comparators that could produce a square wave.
However, both have drawbacks, such as the voltage reference in a comparator drifting resulting in jitter on the output clock over a temperature range.
Are there industry standard schemes for creating clocks from an oscillator output?

A: If you're not too fussy about duty cycle or jitter, a buffer with a Schmitt-trigger input will convert the sine to a square, assuming correct biasing and sufficient amplitude.
If you are fussy about those things, then use a PLL with a post-divide, which can give you perfect symmetry and also remove some jitter in the process. (Search for 'jitter cleaner PLL'.)
I'm going to assume you don't care about skew. If you do, speak up.

A: I don't think there is an overall industry standard, although I'm sure that there are smaller markets where one thing or another s standard.
As mentioned, comparators or just buffers can work.  How hard you work to get the clock jitter down is going to depend on how far you need the clock jitter to be down -- oftentimes the short-term clock jitter (which is all that you're going to affect with a noisy threshold) isn't as important as longer-term variations.


In this post, we will describe how we have configured Zuul to test changes to a project hosted on GitHub.
The ceph-ansible project provides a set of Ansible playbooks for Ceph, the distributed filesystem. These playbooks are used by a number of projects, including TripleO, an OpenStack project aimed at installing, upgrading and operating OpenStack clouds.
The ceph-ansible project is hosted on GitHub, and manages development using pull requests. However, we wanted to make sure that new commits to the project would not break TripleO deployments. Thus, we needed a way to test incoming pull requests and check that TripleO would still work with this to-be-merged change.
This is where Zuul comes to play. We can configure the Zuul deployment at https://review.rdoproject.org so it listens to new pull requests created at GitHub, and runs CI jobs that are already defined there to make sure everything is still working as expected with TripleO. Finally, Zuul will report the result in the pull request itself.
These are the steps we followed to set up the integration.
From an already setup Software Factory installation, you will need to follow the steps from this guide to configure a GitHub connection named github.com. This connection will allow Zuul to listen to events from GitHub-hosted repositories.
The second step is to add the ceph-ansible repository to the list of repos handled by Zuul. We did this by adding the following lines to our zuul/rdo.yaml file from the review.rdoproject.org config repo.
We are using the previously created github.com connection, and including ceph/ceph-ansible in the Zuul configuration.
Note that, while Zuul could import extra configuration from the project (like additional Zuul pipelines and jobs), we are going to define the configuration in the global RDO Zuul configuration.
This step has to be applied on the GitHub repo configuration, to provide Zuul with credentials to interact with the repository. To do so, we followed the steps from the Software Factory documentation.
success-message: Build succeeded (check pipeline).
failure-message: Build failed (check pipeline).
We configured the pipeline to react to new pull requests on the github.com connection and provide a 'success' or 'failure' message depending on the job outcome. During the testing phase, we do not want Zuul to send messages to every pull request with (potentially) meaningless information, so we configured the pipeline to only trigger jobs when a special keyword was added as a comment. In this case, it was either recheck or check-rdo.
We are using the previously defined github-check pipeline, and assigning the special noop job.
Once the basic integration was tested, we moved on to create some more real jobs. We found a potential issue related to the different branches used by the ceph-ansible project and TripleO.
The ceph-ansible project has stable-* branches for each release, such as stable-3.2, stable-3.1, etc.
TripleO, like most OpenStack project, had stable branches using code names, such as stable/rocky or stable/queens.
In addition to this, each ceph-ansible branch needs to be tested against different TripleO branches, so we need to tell Zuul about the branch mapping in each case. By doing so, we can ensure that each ceph-ansible commit is tested against the relevant TripleO branches.
We specify branches: stable-3.2, so this job is only executed when we are testing a change to the stable-3.2 branch of the ceph-ansible repository.
For the tripleo-heat-templates repository, we use override-checkout: stable/rocky. This makes Zuul checkout the stable/rocky branch of the project to use it when testing the change.
Effectively, this allows us to map branches from GitHub and OpenStack-hosted repositories, to ensure the required coverage.
Once the change was merged, we can see the integration in action in some test pull requests, like this one.
With the basic integration in place and working for different branches, we can now move to the next step, and integrate a complete TripleO-based job. This will allow us to fulfill our initial goal of gating commits to the ceph-ansible project using TripleO jobs. We can see the start of this work on this review.
By using the Zuul integration, we can take advantage of some of its advanced features, like testing cross-project dependencies using the Depends-On keyword, or using Zuul not only to check jobs, but also as a gatekeeper to merge commits all CI jobs are successful.
Finally, during the test phase the Zuul jobs are only triggered when a specially crafted message is added to the GitHub PR as a comment. Once jobs are stable, we will be able to remove this requirement, and trigger jobs for every commit.

Finally Independent's Day
Written by John O'Leary
Filed under TriplePoint News
Trite but true: video gaming has come a long way since the days of Donkey Kong. No other form of entertainment or industry has ever grown so quickly and in so many iterations. I could continue with another banality about how this is "a particularly interesting time for gaming" – but hasn't it always been? That there seems to be another innovation just around the corner all the time is one of the most exciting things about working in this industry.
Will indies take over the world?
That said, the landscape for independent developers is changing in this next-gen cycle (or perhaps, the upcoming cycle is illustrating a change that already happened). Indies have been in the spotlight since Sony's initial PS4 unveil, and it's clear that "winning self-publishing" is a major goal for both Sony and Microsoft. While Sony has led the race (E3 was an incredible win on almost every front), Microsoft isn't slouching. Its decision, revealed at Gamescom, to set pricing for self-published games seems a brilliant move to help indies have a real shot at success on Xbox One. Because, after all, who has all the pretty monetization charts we'd all love to get our hands on?
While the support the next generation will offer indies is more robust, and high-profile, than many people expected, it's not surprising when you examine the market over the past few years. Apple changed the game for us all with the App Store, attracting a huge community of both users and developers – and making tons of money in the process. From constantly tweaking discoverability to providing developers with the tools and resources they need to build products as efficiently as possible, the App Store has made an extraordinarily strong argument for independent self-publishing. That's not, of course, to discount Steam. Valve's platform has also been ahead of the curve, with recent updates like Greenlight and the Early Access program providing even more ways to help great developers meet interested gamers.
Of course, Apple, Valve and the others' efforts towards indies aren't just proof of the power of a self-published, digitally distributed model. It's a natural evolution, sure, but the – oh fine let's just call it this – the "indie revolution" isn't solely based on increased support from platforms. We have to consider the changing attitudes of both game developers and players. Many genres and franchises have been done to death. If you've been a gamer as long as I have (call it 18 years), you've killed millions of aliens, terrorists and zombies over and over and over again. At a certain point, a longtime gamer craves a new, more mature experience. At the same time, many developers at AAA studios feel a similar lassitude about creating yet another shooter. Indie games fill a void on both sides – creator and consumer.
Indies come in all shapes and sizes now. Outlast (by Red Barrels) looks like a AAA game…
I've been lucky enough to work with a number of indies founded by developers who quit big studios to create the games they've always wanted to make. This is one area where the interests of gamers and creators align perfectly, and it's been amazing to see such substantial interest for Papo & Yo's unique, personal storytelling, Tiny Brains's truly social co-op mechanics and Outlast's full-throttled commitment to scaring the crap out of everyone.
There are fantastic opportunities for indies on the horizon, which is good news for everyone. Developers will find it cheaper to bring games to market, with a better chance at success through built-in promotion and distribution. Gamers can expect veteran AAA devs to leave their jobs to make the projects they've dreamed of for years. Alongside the efforts the platforms are making, this means more unique, meaningful games that are easier to find. Platform holders will develop, iterate and improve the digital model through which all content will be ultimately distributed. Microsoft may have put the cart in front of the horse, but it's clear that the endgame for all entertainment is the consolidation to one, integrated entertainment unit.
…while FTL: Faster Than Light has been very successful with basic graphics
Ok, I'm going to go back on my word and proclaim this "a particularly interesting time" for indies. With all the efforts from the platforms, increasing consumer preference for digital distribution and big, AAA-style independent titles like The Witness and whatever thatgamecompany is working on, the next year may set a new standard for how games are brought to market.
I'll be sharing more thoughts on the market for indie games, as well as some best PR practices for mobile, PC and console games, at the Boston Festival of Indie Games (BostonFIG) this Saturday.

Home staging increases the value of your home to buyers and helps your home sell faster and for more money.
Once you list your home for sale, keeping it clean, bright and clutter-free is a given. But did you know that staging your home increases the value in the buyers' eyes? It also helps you get a higher price for your home. It's a proven fact. Sell your home faster and for more money with home staging.
Home staging costs an average of $675. Some real estate agents include home staging as part of their services.
If you choose not to have the whole home staged, stage the living room. It's the number one room to stage. Second is the kitchen. Ranking third, fourth and fifth are the master bedroom, dining room, and bathroom.
Is it Worth the Effort and Investment?
Buyers typically offer a 6 to 10 percent increase in the value of a staged home. The impact and the value home staging bring to both home buyers and sellers make it worth the effort and investment most definitely!
A professional home stager is hired to bring out the best in your home. Don't take her recommendations personally. Commit to marketing your home for sale and be prepared to detach emotionally from your home and belongings. How we live is not how we sell a home, and therein lies a great challenge! Following staging recommendations to a tee and keeping your home in show-ready condition will sell your home faster and for more money. Trust your agent, your home stager, and the process!
Working with Charles D'Alessandro gives buyers, sellers, and investors the advantage they need to succeed in today's challenging market. Charles knows what buyers want and how to best market and stage a home for sale.

Washington – Buffs v. Neuheisel – Round One
Home // 1999 Season // Washington
Washington - 1999 Season
September 25th – at Washington Washington 31, Colorado 24
In every 1999 preseason magazine, whenever the University of Colorado was mentioned, the game against Washington on September 25th was highlighted.
"Don't forget that grudge match against Neuheisel and Washington in Seattle on September 25th", reminded Street & Smith's College Football preview.
"Most Colorado fans are focused on one opponent", declared Preview Sports.
"Colorado State is a red-hot rivalry, but even that will be overshadowed when the Buffaloes travel to Washington three weeks later," predicted The Sporting News.
The game was as hyped as a game between teams with 2-1 and 0-2 records could be. All that was left was for the players – those Neuheisel now coached vs. the players he once recruited – to play the game.
As college football games go, this was a good one. Neither team ever held a lead of over seven points. The game remained in doubt until the last minute, when Mike Moschetti's fourth-and-game pass from the Husky 21-yard line was intercepted in the end zone by Anthony Vontoure, preserving a 31-24 Washington win. For most of the 72,068 on hand in Seattle, it was an exciting first victory of the Rick Neuheisel era at Washington.
For Buff fans everywhere, however, it was a bitter pill to swallow.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Huskies seized the momentum with a 14-play, 44-yard drive taking 7:17 off of the second quarter clock. While the Buffs' defense forced Washington to earn every yard, the Huskies did finally punch it in on a one-yard run by Willie Hurst to take a 7-0 lead.
The Washington celebration was short lived, however, as Ben Kelly returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a Colorado touchdown. Avoiding at least six tackles, Kelly quieted all but about 4,000 of the 72,068 fans in attendance at Husky Stadium.
Tied 7-7 at the half, Washington scored quickly to open the third, but the Buffs again had an answer. A 24-yard scoring run by Cortlen Johnson, who had 77 yards on 13 carries on the day, tied the score at 14-all. Moments later, linebacker Jashon Sykes forced a fumble by Washington quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo. The ball was picked up by the ever present Ben Kelly, who raced 38 yards to the endzone. With 6:09 left in the third quarter, Colorado had its first lead of the day, at 21-14.
Now it was Washington's turn to respond. First, the Huskies connected on a 40-yard field goal to cut the lead to 21-17 late in the third quater. On their next possession, Washington took the lead, 24-21, on a 36-yard pass from Tuiasosopo to Gerald Harris.
The Buffs countered with a 29-yard field goal by Jeremy Aldrich with 8:54 remaining to again tie the score, but a 70-yard drive by Washington resulted in a touchdown with 3:17 left to play. Down 31-24, the Buffs drove as far as the Washington 21-yard line before Moschetti's last pass fell into the wrong hands to drop the Buffs to a 2-2 record.
"The bottom line is that we had very little offense and didn't make a lot of plays on offense," said a disheartened Gary Barnett after the game. "The difference in the game is that they were able to run the ball."
On the day, Washington ran for over 200 yards and held the ball for 36:27 to Colorado's 122 yards rushing and only 23:33 of possession time.
Before the game, numerous cameras were positioned at midfield to see if Barnett and Neuheisel, who had traded barbs in the press but had not spoken privately, would engage in the pre-game banter normal for head coaches during warmups. There was a handshake, but few words. It would be left for the players to speak for their coaches on the field.
After the game, Neuheisel was congratulated by a line of Colorado players. "Rick told me he respected who I was", said Buff junior linebacker Ty Gregorak, one of a number of Buffs to hug their former coach. "He told me to have a great season. I told him the same. And he told me not to let the media come between us." For Gregorak, whose oft-quoted, "We'll see you on the 25th!" comment to Neuheisel as the former Buff head coach left the players after making brief comments back in January had become the rallying cry for the Buffs' fans, the post-game talk was cathartic. "It was important to me to have that talk," said the junior Neuheisel had recruited from Spokane. "And the fact of the matter is, I personally had a lot of respect for Rick and his staff when he was here."
For all of the hype about the Washington game, the fact was that Colorado was now 2-2 for the season, and not playing very well. Cornerback Ben Kelly scored two of the Buffs' three touchdowns, so there was much concern about the offense. The defense, while keeping Colorado in the game, had failed to come up with the big play when the game was on the line in the fourth quarter. "We have to get ready for the next game," said Barnett. "I'm disappointed for our kids, but I'm not disappointed in them."
The season, if not the program, was at a crossroads. After a bye week, the Buffs had Missouri on the schedule. The Tigers were 3-1, but had not looked impressive in wins over minor competition and a 40-10 loss to Nebraska. After the Tigers, the Buffs had road trips to Texas Tech and Iowa State before returning home to face Oklahoma. The Red Raiders, Cyclones, and Sooners were enigmas. Texas Tech had followed up an embarrassing loss to North Texas with an upset of 5th-ranked Texas A&M. Iowa State was also 3-1, and had led Kansas State 28-7 at halftime before succumbing, 35-28. Oklahoma had raced out to a 3-0 record behind new head coach Bob Stoops, and had led Notre Dame 30-13 at South Bend before falling 34-30 to lose its first game of the year.
All four October games were winnable. All four games, if the Buffs did not wake up from the disappointing loss to Washington, could also be lost.
With November games against Kansas State and Nebraska on the horizon, the jury was still out on the 1999 Buffs.
Hounded
This one hurt.
Not since walking out of the Orange Bowl in the early morning hours of January 2, 1990, just after the Buffs had let a perfect season slip away with a 20-6 Orange Bowl loss to Notre Dame, had I felt this bad.
Sure, there had been close losses to Nebraska, the CSU debacle, and a number of other defeats in the 1990's when I felt disappointed, shocked, annoyed, and angered.
But this one actually hurt.
Perhaps a victim of all of the preseason hype, I really wanted this game against Washington. I wanted the Buffs to beat the Huskies. More to the point, I wanted our Buffs to beat Neuheisel's Huskies.
Rick Neuheisel had dumped on the program which had given a young coach an amazing opportunity. Rather than being grateful, Neuheisel took the money and ran, leaving in his wake a decimated recruiting class and ungracious (even if warranted) comments about the inferior Colorado facilities and a lack of institutional commitment.
The trip to Seattle for the Washington game was in the works long before Neuheisel's departure. Brad and I had planned an anniversary trip of sorts, returning 10 years after the emotional 1989 contest against the Huskies, which had been the first game for the Buffs after the death of Sal Aunese. For this trip, my friend Randy and wife Lee were coming from Bozeman, with Brad coming from Denver and our daughter Heidi coming up for the weekend from Portland.
We arrived on Thursday, and had a wonderful two days touring Seattle. I wore my CU gear proudly, and everywhere we went, there were fellow Buff fans. We were honked at as we strolled along Pike Street Market, high-fived in restaurants, and heard "Go Buffs" cheers on the ferry to Bainbridge Island. There were few Washington fans evident, and there was no verbal jousting. And why would there be? After all, Washington was 0-2 under Neuheisel, so there was little to brag about in Husky circles.
The CU Alumni Association had a great weekend planned, including a Friday night dinner at the Space Needle and a cruise and a pregame party the morning of the game.
It was all good fun … but I was there for the game.
While I am never over-confident before any Buff game (some would say I usually border on the pessimistic side), I had a good feeling about this game. The stars were seemingly aligned. Colorado had rebounded from the CSU embarrassment with two 50-point games. Washington, meanwhile, was coming off of a 6-6 campaign, was 0-2 under Neuheisel, and had more questions than answers as to its future.
The weather even cooperated for the game.
Forecasts during the week had predicted that rain showers were not only possible, but likely. Instead, we were treated to a perfect day for football. In his article about the Colorado/Washington game, entitled No Hard Feelings, Sports Illustrated's Richard Hoffer described the scene:
"… the kind of gorgeous autumn day that frames your best memories of the sport. Soft clouds billowed in the distance, considerate not to shadow the field, and boats bobbed in Lake Union, just outside the stadium. More than 72,000 people, not all on hand to see a comeuppance, stayed on their feet as the game went back and forth – big plays breaking this way and that, the result in doubt right up to the final seconds."
– Sports Illustrated, October 4, 1999
For college football as a whole, the game was a showcase. There were mistakes made, but there were also spectacular plays. The game was close, the setting beautiful. If there hadn't been so much riding on the outcome, it would have been a joy to say that I had played a part.
But it hurt.
During Colorado's bye week, Washington followed up on the victory over the Buffs with an upset of 25th-ranked Oregon, 34-20. Both Neuheisel's Washington and Barnett's Colorado were now 2-2 on the year, but whereas Husky fans were optimistic about the upcoming conference season (1999 was a down year for the Pac-10. Four teams had been in the preseason top 25, but by the October 4th poll, only USC, with a 3-1 record and a 22nd ranking, was left), Buff fans were worried about upcoming Big 12 battles.
Was the program, as Barnett described it after the Washington game, "one play different and we all go home hooting and hollering and it's a good ride home", or was it on the verge of falling into a pit of mediocrity?
The next four weeks would tell.
A 4-0 mark in October, and the bitter taste of September's losses would be forgotten. A 3-1 record for the month, and a bowl would still be in the offing. A 2-2 record, though, and the ghosts of 1997 would be revisited, with the Buffs needing a win over Kansas State or Nebraska just be make the postseason.
Waiting through the purgatory which was the Buffs' bye week, I had faith that the Buffs could rebound and match the 8-4 record of the previous season.
But I still hurt.
Here is the YouTube video of the game (thanks to Chris for finding it!) …
– Colorado previously had been undefeated in games against former coaches, going 3-0 before losing to Washington and former coach Rick Neuheisel.
– Jashon Sykes forced his fourth fumble in as many games against the Huskies, with his forced fumble in the Washington game turning into a Ben Kelly touchdown.
– Cortlen Johnson's 24-yard touchdown run in the third quarter proved to be the longest touchdown run of the season by any Buff.
– Ben Kelly's 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the longest ever by a Washington opponent.
– In returning kickoff and fumble returns for touchdowns, Ben Kelly became the first Colorado player to score two non-offensive touchdowns in a game since Victor Scott returned two interceptions for scores against Oklahoma State in 1982.
– Washington would go on to post a 7-5 record in Rick Neuheisel's first season in Seattle, falling 24-20 to Kansas State in the Holiday Bowl. Neuheisel would coach four seasons at Washington, posting a 33-16 overall record (his four year record at Colorado: 33-14).

Pavement milling is probably one of the millings that go on every day. Due to their small size, small budget and the number of the machine needed, these are some of the most common projects that you will find in the market. However, like the bigger project, the performance of the pavement milling machine is an important factor to consider.
If you lack proper performance, it simply means that the machine will also fail to hit high productivity as expected. The effect will spill over to the kind of milling done and the turnaround time for the project. That is why it is important to ensure that you have checked the issue of the performance of the machine.
There are various types of pavement milling machine, and each is designed to handle different surface. That is why you find machines with varying capacities in terms of horsepower. There are small machines with small horsepower, and they can only handle small pavement milling. There are also larger machines that handle larger tasks. You need to know what your machine can handle and do not overload it.
Another critical aspect that most people ignore is the quality of the operator. Most people, especially those hiring plant operators do not care much about the quality of the operator. All they check is whether they can operate the machine. But that is not enough to guarantee the high performance of the pavement milling machine. Experience is what matters when hiring the right operator. Check how long they have been operating similar machines? If the operator has a good track record, they will be able to deliver high and constant performance.

Separation from the source, special waste, hazardous waste, no nylon, and vermicompost fertilizer are the terms that Isfahani housewives are getting more familiar with them by attending the training classes of the Isfahan waste management organization.
Isfahan (IMNA) – The waste management organization of Isfahan municipality with the cooperation of the cultural centers of 15 municipal districts has begun the housewives' visiting tours of organic fertilizer and recycling factory since June to create culture and promote the citizens' knowledge regarding the disadvantages of using nylon bags; so far 300 citizens have participated in these tours. The tours have been planned for the housewives, and it has been supposed that 120 persons from each municipal district visit the organic fertilizer factory. These tours have been planned in such a way that besides the housewives' training, their behavioral patterns will be also changed regarding recycling, and end up the "plastic pollution" literally.
One thousand tons of domestic waste has been collected daily throughout the city; then they are entered into the organic fertilizer factory from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. The workers of the recycling factory separate the organic and inorganic waste for 12 hours in order to return the recycled materials to the use cycle.
Nylon is among one of the items that is currently produced in large quantities, so that 7 percent of Isfahan daily waste is 70 tons of "nylon". These issues are the dilemmas threatening the city.


On a difficult day for the likes of us less experienced this fly brought the grayling up and put a 14 inch specimen in the net.
This fly was unknown to me until I found it at the Essential Fly but I'm pleased I found it. The brownies in my local rivers seem to love it - along riffles, in pools and by the banks - I have caught trout every time I've fished it. Love it!
Just like the JC Olive, There is something special about this fly. The trout at my local fishery couldnt get enough, Really savage takes.
My old fishing mentor had a saying, "when it looks right, it generally is right" and the Nanny Carr's Olive Emerger is an exquisite looking fly, its olive translucence lights it up on the water and fish cannot seem to resist it. I've caught many fish with it off the top the water throughout the winter.

An interesting article by Jeffrey Spear that appeared in the New Hampshire Bar News in July shows that the federal district court in New Hampshire is struggling with the same question as the district court in Massachusetts: What is the proper interpretation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA")? The CFAA, as I have mentioned many times on this blog, is a federal statute that has been interpreted by various courts in essentially one of two ways: (1) an employee can be liable to an employer if the employee takes information from the employer's computer system to a competitor, even if that employee had access to that information as part of his job; or (2) the employee can only be liable if the employee did not have access to that information as part of his employment (i.e., the employee "hacked" into the employer's computer system, stole a password, etc.). As Spear notes, although the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal appellate court for both New Hampshire and Massachusetts that issues controlling case law for the federal district courts in those states to follow, has decided that a CFAA violation can be based on (1), the district court in New Hampshire has interpreted the CFAA to be limited to (2). This is the same conflict that at least one judge in the District of Massachusetts has with the First Circuit. Spear recognizes that this conflict will cause a lot of uncertainty in future cases about how the CFAA will be interpreted in New Hampshire, but that uncertainty exists in Massachusetts, too.
