'Open for business': B.C. natural gas minister Coleman prepares fast track for LNG
'We are open for business, we want to be in liquefied natural gas, and we have one-stop shopping in government to coordinate activities to ensure they meet your needs,' minister says

How do you establish a massive industry from the ground up, before investors shut their pocket books and competitors grab your opportunities?
In British Columbia, the job of making the province into a global liquefied natural gas powerhouse has gone to Rich Coleman, appointed last Friday as minister of the newly created natural gas ministry and sworn in at Government House in Victoria on Monday.
'Open for business': B.C. natural gas minister Coleman prepares fast track for LNG Back to video
In an interview Wednesday, the fifth-term MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove, deputy premier and former member of the RCMP said his singular focus on LNG will ensure the province fast-tracks government response so the industry sets up successfully.
"The reason for this ministry is to tell the world: 'We are open for business, we want to be in liquefied natural gas, and we have one-stop shopping in government to coordinate activities to ensure they meet your needs'," he said.
Nine LNG projects have been proposed for the northern B.C. coast to export natural gas from the province's large shale fields to consumers in Asia.
Led by giants such as Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Petronas, Chevron Corp., BG Group and Exxon Mobil Corp., the projects are in various stages of planning and none has made final go-ahead decisions.
If they do, they would accomplish in years what would take decades in other parts of the economy, and transform the coast around Kitimat and Prince Rupert into a busy processing and marine export point.
Mr. Coleman said the new portfolio will work with a committee of ministers, chaired by Premier Christy Clark, who will be critical to kick-starting the industry — such as training a workforce, permitting, pipelines, nailing down fiscal terms.
"This way [proponents] will know that in British Columbia if you want to make this investment — and that is what we heard from industry — they have a partner in government that isn't going to come with surprises, whether it's royalty changes or whatever, that they can do business here, make a deal with us, and that that deal will stand up," he said.
The new sector could mean a windfall for the province, similar to that provided by the oil sands to Alberta.
In their February throne speech, the B.C. Liberals, who were re-elected last month despite predictions they would lose power to the opposition NDP, said revenue from taxes and royalties in the coming decades could generate a $100-billion "prosperity fund" based on five LNG plants moving ahead. They also floated the idea of an LNG export tax.
Industry reaction was hostile. LNG proponents said such a tax would be unprecedented and add to their challenges and uncertainties, including the high cost of piping B.C.'s natural gas from reserves in eastern fields across mountain ranges to the coast.
Mr. Coleman said the province is in discussions to nail down terms and the door is open to other models that keep B.C. fiscally competitive with other jurisdictions.
"But obviously it's a British Columbia resource," he said, adding it is attractive to industry because natural gas comes out cooler than in other areas, reducing costs to refrigerate it so it liquefies. Other B.C. advantages are the fact the West Coast is closer to Asia, cutting down on transportation costs and that supplies are massive and growing with new discoveries.
Mr. Coleman said proponents' biggest worry is the availability of skilled labour. That's what drove up costs in other jurisdictions, making them look elsewhere.
The province plans to help with training and to ensure there is a workforce.
Mr. Coleman dismissed worries about whether there is enough power to build up the remote operations. The province changed its Clean Energy Act, adopted in 2010 to accelerate the push to green energy, to allow the LNG industry to use its own natural gas supplies.
Based in Victoria, Mr. Coleman plans to increase his travels to Calgary, where many of the proponents are based, to firm up relationships.
It's big a change from a few weeks ago, when the energy sector was bracing for a new NDP government with plans for a drilling moratorium on shale gas, corporate tax increases and general hostility toward the business.

WMU Student Develops Device to Aid Speech Impairments
A student at Western Michigan University has secured a design patent for a device that assists those with speech impediments, as well as others seeking to improve their articulation and elocution.
"This patent validates the design of my product and my hard work to this point," says Daniel Floyd, a sophomore at the Kalamazoo-based college. "It will also make it easier to speak with future influencers and supporters and grow my business."
Called the SpeechMasterPro, the device is placed inside the mouth and is held in place by the user's teeth. By trying to avoid touching the device with their lips while speaking, the user strengthens their jaws and facial muscles, thereby improving the projection of clear speech.
Floyd, who was born with a speech disorder that makes it difficult to enunciate certain words and sounds, says he first began developing the speech aid after watching the movie, The Great Debaters, starring Denzel Washington.
"(In the 2007 film), Denzel had five debaters practicing for debate, and they were practicing with a radish in their mouths," Floyd says. "The radish forced the debaters to over enunciate their words and sounds, so once they took the radish out of their mouth, because of muscle memory, they would pronounce words as if the radish were still there."
Floyd, age 15 at the time, began practicing speaking while biting a wine cork and noticed an improvement in elocution. He began collecting wine corks from area restaurants, reshaping them to rest more naturally between the front teeth.
Since developing those first prototypes, Floyd has teamed up with PDT, a Chicago design firm to develop a version of the SpeechMasterPro that can be mass produced, as well as a manufacturer that has agreed to fabricate several Food and Drug Administration approved silicone prototypes.
"(Daniel's) story of how he came to create SpeechMasterPro and his work ethic are truly inspiring," says Lara Hobson, director of operations for Starting Gate, WMU's student business accelerator. "It is rewarding to see one of our student entrepreneurs reach this level of success."
The utility patent for the device is pending, and Floyd has his eye on the future, with plans to grow his business by developing alternate distribution channels in addition to his online store.

Fairy dust will not fall from the sky to magically make you a poker millionaire.
If the expert poker way of living appeals to you, just be mindful of the opportunity pitfalls and modify your expectations and outlook accordingly. And, of class, be organized to place in a ton of study time absent from the tables to make certain you can be a prosperous expert and weather the variance that is absolutely sure to arrive your way.

Where will our crazy imaginations take us this year? Well, we might eat some cake, take a long road trip, listen to the radio, play some colorful dress up, meet a tall, dark, furry stranger, and talk to a few birds. As one does. Intrigued? Let this preview of the 2019 season from Master Mystery Productions answer some of those burning questions.
It's 1789, and it's the last hurrah for the French aristocracy before the guillotine cuts the celebration short. At the gilt-and-crystal splendor of Versailles, the eccentric and flamboyant Marquis Mauvais has taken up the latest fashion in "philanthropy" when he scoops up Brigitte the Bawd from the streets of Paris and aims to transform her from the slums to the salons. Contending with his fiancée, a vicious gossip, and a distinguished, yet doomed countess is a cake walk for the egotistical nobleman, but little does he know that his pet project intends to smuggle in dangerous revolutionaries into the palace. When a series of failed assassinations at multiple targets rock the Marquis' apartments, a madcap maze of motives and mistaken identity is exposed. Who is responsible for the insanity? Is anyone truly innocent? In a farcical nod to the madness of Versailles and the French Revolution, Eat Cake is a hilarious, high-speed mystery comedy with wacky characters, screwball secrets, and tumultuous twists and turns that make you wonder if anyone can have their cake and eat it too.

AFTER OZ
Something strange is happening over the rainbow. Years ago, young Dorothy Gale from Kansas thought she had a dream. A dream of a magical land filled with munchkins, living scarecrows, winged monkeys, and roads of yellow bricks. But as she's grown older, she's dismissed the odd memories as lingering strain from the cyclone she lived through. Until the cyclone returns. Dorothy is whisked from the Kansas prairie back to the Land of Oz…to stand trial. At the Emerald City, the witches of Oz seek justice for the deaths of East and West and the theft of the magical silver shoes, still in Dorothy's possession. As Dorothy pleads her case to the jury, she has to embrace those memories and re-forge the connections to her old friends to remember exactly what happened in Oz all those years ago. Will you be able to help Dorothy get home again? Ride the cyclone with us, click your heels together, and help save Dorothy in a brand-new, family-friendly mystery adventure. You may know the original story, but do you know what happened after Oz? There's no telling where the yellow brick road will lead you this time.

Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and performed for the 80th anniversary of the famous 1939 film, After Oz, a mystery on the yellow brick road, is planned to perform in July 2019. We are planning a new family-friendly production on par with Mutiny on the Sea Witch, which would also invite kids ages 8 and up to perform with us.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE HAIRY KIND
You've never heard a campfire story like this before. Under dazzling starlight and lit only with the flickering glow of a fire, a group has gathered to tell their tales about several close encounters of the hairy kind. Invited to the campfire conference are those that have had Bigfoot sightings. They come from all walks of life. Some are local. Some are visitors. Some sightings are older. Some are very recent. All the host of this midnight meeting wishes is to garner enough positive publicity in attempt to make the area a Bigfoot sanctuary. But a safe haven for Bigfoot is the last thing on someone's list. While stories are shared, mountains are scoured, maps are plotted, and clues are hunted, a treacherous traitor to the cause will be on a very different kind of hunt. Who could it be? Where is Bigfoot? Is there any way to save him? Part of Weird Weekend 2019, you are specially invited to our campfire conference to track both the legend and the defector, and make the mountains safe for Bigfeet everywhere. Who knows? Maybe you'll be lucky enough to have close encounter of your very own.
Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind celebrates the legend of Bigfoot in the Sierra Nevadas around our slice of the Mojave Desert, making it the perfect show to include as part of Ridge Writers' Weird Weekend 2019. Close Encounters is also the first show with MMP veteran and audience favorite Monica Lorenz at the helm. Not only did she originate the story, she will also be the first outside director to direct a Master Mystery Production, a tremendous honor. Auditions for Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind will be held in June 2019 with performances in September.
LENORE NEVERMORE
Once upon a midnight dreary, something rather quaint and curious happened over forgotten lore. Lenore was a beautiful young woman adored for her generosity, goodwill, and innocence. And she died well before her time. A brutal booby trap snuffed out her light and drove one of her admirers into grief and near madness. After all, it was his chamber where his beloved Lenore died. Suddenly, there comes a rapping on his chamber door, and a preternatural raven swoops in croaking out a dire message. What is the meaning behind "Nevermore?" In true Poe fashion, as his madness and hallucinations deepen, our mysterious protagonist has to face dark omens, vengeful rivals, painful memories, statues coming to life, and secrets scuttling out from the shadows. Was Lenore the intended victim? Could he have killed her? Is the truth deadlier than fiction? Inspired by one of the most famous poems in the world, step into the haunting world of Edgar Allan Poe and an imaginative twist on the chilling narrative in his masterpiece "The Raven." Madness or murderer? You be the judge.
Lenore Nevermore will be designed as our first ever touring production. A smaller scale boutique show, the production will have an October 2019 premiere in Ridgecrest as part of an Edgar Allan Poe celebration before moving onto other venues. Auditions for Lenore Nevermore will be in late July 2019.
Naturally, with a season this packed with talent, we have to have a few surprises in store. In 2019, our audiences will have more say than ever before in how our shows will play out. All we can say right now is "hindsight is 2020." Keep an eye on Master Mystery Productions as we gear up for another exciting season! And if you want to take part in any of our wonderful shows, just join us at an audition. Everyone is welcome at Master Mystery Productions.
Happy sleuthing!

Legal Precedent
The cases described below are some of the cases that either advanced the law of the land, or were otherwise newsworthy. There are numerous cases that were covered in the news or reported in the law books, but are not listed below. Nevertheless, the cases, below, are a good indicator of the level of LegalBrains that The Ticktin Law Group' clients get.
Ledbetter v. Bell, 658 So. 2d 1146 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995)
This is the first and still the only reported case in Florida where a Former Husband was required to pay child support based on his potential, which was an amount far greater than the highest amount that he ever earned. The Fourth District Court of Appeal accepted the Arce case as the law in its District. In Arce, the Third District Court of Appeal gave a break to a supporting spouse who needed an absence for the purpose of improving his earning power, such as getting a higher degree in post-graduate work. Mr. Ticktin not only argued to have Arce accepted in the Fourth District, but at the same time, he was successful in his argument that the Ledbetter case was beyond the bounds of Arce, and for the first time, Arce was given an upper limit.
Scorza v. Martinez, 683 So. 2d 1115 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996)
This case did not make new law, but it was based on an interesting fact scenario. There, a client who thought that he was buying a domestically permitted capuchin monkey, actually purchased a more violent primate, a macaque monkey which was infected with a dangerous virus, Herpes B. Shortly after taking the new object of affection home, the client was bitten, badly. The trial judge granted a Motion for Summary Judgment based on the issue of whether the intervenor who found and sold the monkey was the cause of the problem. The Appeal Court agreed with the client and reversed, sending the case to trial, making it clear that the issue of whether the breeder of the primates could have foreseen that somewhere down the road, loose macaque monkeys could enter the stream of commerce and ultimately cause harm. Shortly thereafter, the case settled.
Off Lease Only v. Carfax; Case No. 9:12-CV-80193-DTKH
The Ticktin Law Group represented Off Lease Only in the Federal Court in the Southern District of Florida in its case to correct and conform Carfax's history reporting procedures. In doing so, Ejola Cook and Peter Ticktin successfully argued against a Motion to Dismiss filed by Carfax. The honorable Judge Daniel T. K. Hurley, issued a detailed ruling, which for the first time in Florida established that an object, such as a car, could be libeled. This opened an entirely new area for those who products and other items are negatively impacted but false and misleading derogatory reviews. This case ultimately settled in a confidential settlement agreement a week before trial.
F.S. Appellant v. Danciu, 711 So. 2d 254 (Fla 4th DCA 2000)
This case was newsworthy in that it was the first case that addressed Grandparents' rights in the adoption arena. There, the client lost in the Court below. The Appeal Court agreed that it was a close case, but ultimately, ruled that the trial judge was in the best position to judge. The case was tried before a judge who deservedly has a high presumption of correctness.
Doe v. Potash, 670 So. 2d 192 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996)
This was a suit against a physician who advised a cruise line that one of its employees was HIV positive. The Third District Court of Appeal held that the physician was allowed by law at the time of the disclosure, to tell the employer. That law is now changed. This case was newsworthy as AIDS and disclosure of it was a new problem. We found that by fighting the fight, the objectives of changing the world around us was accomplished. Once they knew that they could be subject to suit, medical care providers started to take precautions to assure confidentiality of HIV test results. Mr. Peter Ticktin was the leader in this field in South Florida.
At a time when most people were afraid to have a person with AIDS in their offices, Mr. Ticktin advanced his cases because he knew that by waking up the medical community and getting it to truly keep HIV test results confidential, more and more people at risk would avail themselves to be tested. As a result, innumerable lives of potential partners were spared and innumerable others had or have elongated life spans. Some of Mr. Ticktin's HIV cases were reported in The Miami Herald, New Times, and others, including a photo on the front page of the Miami Review and its corresponding papers in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. In the Potash case, we lost a battle, but we won the war in so doing it. The brave clients in these cases have all passed on, but they knew that they helped the world that they were leaving behind.
Espino v. Anez, 665 So. 2d 1080 (Fla. 3d 1996)
This case involved the issue of a Resulting Trust. The Third District Court of Appeal rendered a most significant precedent, which, for the first time, determines the legal considerations of how an asset that is held for one person in the name of another, is to be divided. It is the seminal case on the issue.
Hernandez v. Marsarm Corporation, 613 So. 2d 913 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993)
This was a case where the client came to Mr. Ticktin on the verge of the hearing of a Motion for Summary Judgment. The case had been mishandled and dismissed with prejudice a decade prior, and there was no way to get around the doctrine of res judicata. Once a matter is determined, it is not permitted to be raised again. However, the factual background was so compelling, that the Third District Court of Appeal reversed the Summary Judgment based in the Doctrine of Manifest Injustice. This was the fourth time in the history of Florida jurisprudence, that the Doctrine was applied.
Ticktin v. Kearin, 807 So. 2d 659, 663 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001)
This case has been used frequently as a precedent in child support Arrearages cases. The Court of Appeal held that the defense of laches (delay in commencement of proceedings) is only applied in extraordinary circumstances where the facts clearly show extreme prejudice.
Zalis v. M.E.J. Rich Corp., 797 So. 2d 1289 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001)
This case set a precedent that affected the legal profession. It held that a condition in the settlement offer made under the Offer of Settlement statute, which otherwise would have entitled the offeror to attorneys' fees was not viable if it required that the plaintiff relinquish all rights to sue about anything at any time, as it called for an impermissible condition.
Norgart v. The Upjohn Company, 74 Cal.Rptr.2d 807 (Ca. 1st DCA 1998)
On the verge of trial on a pharmaceutical products liability case against The Upjohn Company, the Fourth District Court of Appeal of California ruled in the Bristol Myers case that any knowledge of wrongdoing triggered the Statute of Limitations. This was fatal to the Norgart case. In response, we agreed to a summary judgment against the Norgarts and encouraged the First District Court of Appeal of California to reject the holding in the Bristol Myers case. The First District Court of Appeal agreed and reversed. Subsequently, the California Supreme Court reversed the First District's decision on other grounds, leaving the First and Fourth Districts' cases in conflict. The law as to the Statute of Limitations is not resolved in California. In its holding, however, the California Supreme Court elaborated on the client's method of accepting a Final Judgment without losing the right to appeal, and upheld the new method, where there previously had been no method. See also Norgart v. The Upjohn Company, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 453.
Real Investments, LLC v. Oaks Group, Inc., 922 So.2d 403 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006)
The Fourth District Court of Appeal held that it was improper for the trial court to set a bond amount to sustain a Lis Pendens without conducting an evidentiary hearing, and held that the amount of a bond should bear a reasonable relationship to the amount of damage which the property holder defendant can demonstrate will likely result if it is later determined that the notice of lis pendens was not justified.
Her Majesty the Queen v. Fry, 8 C.C.C. (2d) 573 (Ont. High Court of Justice 1972) Confirmed 9 C.C.C. (2d) 242 (Ont. Ct. of Appeal 1972)
This was a case of a careless driving ticket, where the only available defense was to challenge the form of the Uniform Traffic Ticket, which was used at the time for all Summary Conviction (Misdemeanor) Offenses. The Court of Appeal held that the form of the summons was not valid. The decision was upheld, and every ticket for every offense other than speeding was dismissed in every court in every town and city throughout Ontario, Canada. The Uniform Traffic Ticket was no longer available for many months as the new form required an act of the legislature.
Her Majesty the Queen v. Jewell, 22 C.C.C. (2d) 252 (Ont. Sup. Ct. 1974)
In this case, the Defendant was accused of breaking and entering an abandoned house by entering through a partially opened door. Breaking and Entry was an offense of entering through an opening. This case successfully distinguished between a door, which was an "entrance" and an "opening" which was something other than an "entrance." This was an important legal precedent.
Vernet v. University of Miami, in the Circuit Court and in and for Lee County, Florida
This case was never the subject of an appeal. It was the only successful case against an organ procurement organization. None had ever found the way to get the cases to trial. Here, an organ procurement supervisor forged the permission of the parents of a 7-year-old Haitian child and pushed, causing the removal of the organs before the child was brain dead. This trial was played on Court TV and was the center of a great deal of media attention at the time.

Allegheny City's Al Grasso and Mike taste the brewery's Nova Gose.
Sure, we have some good-sized hills on the North Side. But no one's ever going to mistake it for Colorado's Front Range.
Nevertheless, the small-town breweries that Amy Yurkovich, Al Grasso and Matt Yurkovich came across while they lived in the mountains were the model for Allegheny City Brewing, the brewpub the trio just opened on Foreland Street. And thanks mostly to the Yurkovich siblings, both native North Siders, Allegheny City made that neighborhood its home.
The business model that the trio put together while the still lived out West was simple. It didn't involve grand plans for packaging or distribution; instead, Allegheny City would serve the purpose of the tiny tap rooms and brewpubs they loved in Colorado. Those places served as community centers as well as breweries, providing a place to stop and relax with neighbors for a bit between work and home.
And while the North Side has its share of bars and restaurants, it didn't yet have anything like the kind of establishment they had in mind. They'll soon have small-brewery neighbors — War Streets Brewing and Spring Hill Brewing are both preparing to open on the North Side as well — as well as one well-established big one; that, they say, just adds to the sense of home town North Side community.
Even after just three weeks, they're already seeing regulars coming back for a pint or a growler fill. And that's understandable: the tap room is warm and comfortable and the beer is well done. A couple favorites from my stop this week: Funkhauser farmhouse ale is evenly split between citrus and spice with a touch of Belgian funk at the end, and Nova Gose, a perfectly rendered take of the old German style, with sharp lemon tartness, coriander and a hint of salt.
If the goal for the trio was to establish a neighborhood brewpub — and a community to go with it — they're already a success. And if you're a neighbor — on the North Side or perhaps a bit further away — you should give Allegheny City a shot.


Good afternoon. I hope this finds you well. Your request was forwarded to me, and I wanted to take a moment to let you know that this image has nothing at all to do with P&G. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in alternatives research, and care deeply about people and their pets. We share our research broadly in scientific publications and our work has resulted in well over 50 new alternative methods that we and others use to circumvent the use of animals. As a company, we partner with leading animal protection groups, including the Humane Society and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in order to promote alternative research methods and enhance animal welfare.
ed. note: This seems a bit like a form letter since it says they "care deeply about people and their pets" and pets have nothing to do with the photo.
And the fact that they "share our research broadly in scientific publications" is also not relevant to the photo.
Yet, the photo may be a fake. But P&G didn't say that the photo could not have been taken somewhere on their premises or that it could have been taken in a lab hired to do work for P&G, or even that they would investigate.
Hopefully the anonymous source of the photo will be more specific. Although perhaps they can't because they might lose their job.


I first reported the explosive story of the 5 suspicious Israelis seen celebrating while filming the attacks on the World Trade Center shortly after September 11. ABC News recently reported on this story and added a comment that deserves attention.
The Forward, a respected Jewish newspaper in New York, reported that at least two of the men were Israeli intelligence (Mossad) agents. The Israeli agents were first seen filming the attack on the WTC while kneeling on the roof of a white van in the parking lot of a New Jersey apartment building across the river from lower Manhattan. "They seemed to be taking a movie," the resident who noticed them said. The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck her were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.
She found the behavior so suspicious that she wrote down the license plate number of the van and called the police. The FBI was soon on the scene and a statewide bulletin was issued on the van. The van belonged to a Mossad front company called Urban Moving Systems. Around 4 p.m. on Sept. 11, the van was pulled over, and five Israelis: Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari, all between 22 and 27 years old, were arrested at gunpoint. One had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock while another carried two foreign passports. Box cutters were found in the van.
The Israelis had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, for overstaying their tourist visas and working in the United States illegally. Two weeks after their arrest, an immigration judge ordered them to be deported, however, FBI and CIA officials in Washington put a hold on the case, according to ABC. The five men were held in detention for more than two months. Some of them were placed in solitary confinement for 40 days and given as many as seven lie-detector tests. One of them, Paul Kurzberg, refused to take a lie-detector test for 10 weeks and then failed it, according to his lawyer.

An international team of researchers has used three-dimensional laser scans to determine that Tyrannosaurus rex were likely 30% more massive that we once thought — and a whole lot hungrier. Be honest, now...how many of you woke up this morning thinking you'd hear the words "three-dimensional laser" and "Tyrannosaurus rex" used in the same sentence?
Researchers used the scanning technique to generate three-dimensional, digital computer models of five T. rex skeletons. The team then added flesh to the digital frameworks, using the soft tissue structure of birds and crocodiles as a reference point, to estimate how much these massive predatory dinosaurs would have weighed.
The team concluded that "Sue," the world's largest and most complete T. rex specimen, would have weighed in excess of nine tons, 30% more than previous estimates. But the researchers' computer models also showed that smallest (and, presumably, youngest) of the specimens would have weighed less than previous estimates, suggesting that, during periods of peak development, T. rex would have grown about twice as fast as we once thought.
"At their fastest, in their teenage years, they were putting on 11 pounds or 5 kilograms a day," said John Hutchinson, professor of evolutionary biomechanics at London's Royal Veterinary College and first author on the paper describing the researchers' findings, published in yesterday's issue of PLoS ONE.
"Just think how much meat that is. That's a hell of a lot of cheeseburgers...it's a whole lot of duck-billed dinosaurs they needed to be chowing down on."


We always try to keep tabs on innovative new technologies and take part in interesting events. Which is why we couldn't miss GameNode Hackathon, a contest uniting two cutting-edge fields: games and blockchain.
During the two days when our team participated in the event (it ran from July 20 to 22), we set out to demonstrate our skills and develop a game based on the blockchain.
Long story short, we did well: our 0xWarriors team – the name of the game we created at the contest – won a prize for the Best Remotely Developed Game!

Coriolis mass flow metering tracking rapid fuel injection pulse trains in internal combustion engines
A previous MFHS presentation described the tracking of rapid fuel injections (as short as 1 ms) in a diesel internal combustion engine laboratory rig using Coriolis mass flow metering and Prism Signal Processing (PSP). This presentation provides an update on this work. Petrol/gasoline engines operate at lower pressures, but may be subject to higher levels of mechanical noise. Additional PSP filtering techniques are required to remove unwanted noise sources to reveal the fuel pulses. Where fue...

Q: Adjoint to multiplication in a GCD lattice Consider the lattice on the nonzero natural numbers where the meet $a \wedge b $ is defined to be the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$, and the join $a \vee b$ is the least common multiple. There's a partial order in that $ a \leq b \equiv a \vee b = b$.
With respect to that partial order, can we find an adjoint / to multiplication that satisfies the galois connection $ a/b \leq c \equiv a \leq b \times c$?
With the ordinary notion of order on the naturals, we get residuated division as a right adjoint to multiplication. But this doesn't work in the GCD lattice. Is there anything that does?

A: $a/b$ is just $a/\mathrm{gcd}(a,b)$. Here's a perversely highbrow explanation, just for fun.
Since the lattice of natural numbers under divisibility has meets of arbitrary nonempty sets (the greatest common divisor extends fine to infinite sets) any unbounded meet-preserving functor $f$ has a left adjoint $g$ given by $g(a)=\mathrm{inf}n:a \leq f(n)$. In the case that $f$ is multiplication by $b$, we have for $a/b$ the least $n$ such that $a$ divides $n\times b$, which is as described in the first paragraph.

Has taught for the Greater Essex County DSB since 2002. Professional experience spans over 20 years and includes teaching preschool, working as an educational assistant, Special Education and early years teacher. Commitment to education led to completion of an M.Ed. with an emphasis on early intervention and Special Education.
Has served as a member and vice-chair of the board of the Learning Disabilities Association of Windsor-Essex County, is a member of the International Dyslexia Association and sat on the Windsor-Essex Catholic DSB's Special Education advisory committee.
The duty of the College and Council is to protect the public interest. Council members collaborate, learn and grow together to ensure that public confidence in the profession continues growing. Council makes recommendations to ensure that teachers receive the best training for their own and their students' futures, and updates and develops AQ courses. Safeguarding students' best interests, safety and protection and looking at new ways to keep members and the public informed about new initiatives are other responsibilities of the College and Council. These are a few of the many duties of the College and Council members and she looks forward to delving further into this role.
My teaching career began in the Special Education classroom where I quickly discovered that not all students fit the typical mold. My initial interest in researched-based intervention for at-risk students began when traditional instructional methods did not seem to work for some students. I co-ordinated an action research project with my board that looked at the efficacy of response to intervention. The success of this project was only the beginning of many years of research. I have facilitated numerous in-service workshops for occasional teachers in the area of Special Education and continue to advocate and empower parents, teachers and students. In my ongoing pursuit of professional knowledge and skills I recently completed training at the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education in the Orton Gillingham Approach for struggling readers and writers.

The Total Eclipse of the Sun
Etienne Leopold Trouvelot
A Magnificent Depiction of a Total Solar Eclipse. Made by the "Audubon of the Sky", Etienne Trouvelot.
This is a beautiful color lithograph showing an eclipse of the sun, made by Etienne Trouvelot and relating his observations made during the summer of 1878 in the Wyoming Territory. The chromolithograph was published as part of Trouvelot's Astronomical Drawings set of 15 plates by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1882.
Trouvelot's drawings are known as some of the best images of the sky ever made. Trouvelot's work was very important at the time, as it provided important images of the stars, planets, and phenomena of the sky at a time when popular interest in astronomy was growing, but photography had not yet become advanced enough to capture such dark images. Trouvelot's images are recognized as the last of the great images of the night sky that surpassed the photography of their day.
"Terrifying, appalling, and yet possess[ing] a majestic grandeur and fascination" -- the 1878 Solar Eclipse
The 1878 eclipse fascinated the American public and drew observers from all over the country, much like the 2017 eclipse which passed through the same region. Enthusiasts like Thomas Edison arrived to test out new devices, while astronomers prepared diligently for over a week to make sure that they would not miss the event. The U.S. Naval Observatory even set up a field observatory, complete with roof.
Solar eclipses have always captivated humanity due to the epic nature of their occurrence. By the 18th century, they were studied regularly, and in Trouvelot's time, they were fairly well understood. Particularly important is that, during an eclipse, certain features of the sun become more easily visible. In this image, we see both the corona (the white rays), which is the sun's atmosphere, and solar prominences (the red light to the right), which are jets and loops of plasma hundreds of thousands of miles long.
Trouvelot provides a useful description of the phenomena shown as follows in his Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings Manual:
A telescopic view of the sun's corona or extreme outer atmosphere and of the solar flames or prominences during a total eclipse. At the moment of observation the dark disk of the moon, while still hiding the sun's main body, had passed far enough eastward to allow the rosy pink chromospheric prominences to be seen on its western border. On all sides of the sun's hidden disk, the corona shows its pale greenish light extending in halo-like rays and streamers, and two very remarkable wings stretch eastward and westward very nearly in the plane of the ecliptic and in the direction of the positions of Mercury and Venus respectively at the time of observation. The full extent of these wings could not be shown in the Plate without reducing its scale materially, since the westerly wing extended no less than twelve times the sun's diameter, and the easterly wing nearly as far, or over ten million miles. A circlet of bright light immediately bordering the moon's disk is the so-called inner corona, next to which the wings and streamers are brightest, thence shading off imperceptibly into the twilight sky of the eclipse. Other noteworthy peculiarities of the corona, as observed during this ellipse, are the varying angles at which the radiating streamers are seen to project, the comparatively dark intervals between them, and the curved, wisp-like projections seen upon the wings. An especially noticeable gap appears where the most westerly of the upward streamers abruptly cuts off the view of the long wing. The largest and brightest of the curving streamers on the westerly wing coincides with the highest flame-like protuberance. To some observers of this eclipse the upward and downward streamers seemed pointed at their outer extremities and less regular in form.
Trouvelot's prints were originally intended for the astronomical and scientific community and most of the larger US observatories purchased copies of the portfolio. In 2002, B.G. Corbin undertook a census to determine the number of surviving copies of the complete set of 15 prints and was only able to confirm the existence of 4 complete sets.

Etienne Leopold Trouvelot Biography
Trouvelot (1827-1895) was born in Guyencourt, Aisne, France. During his early years he was apparently involved in politics and had Republican leanings. Following a coup d'état by Louis Napoleon in 1852, he fled or was exiled with his family to the United States, arriving in 1855. They settled in the town of Medford, Massachusetts, where he worked as an artist and nature illustrator. In both 1860 and '70 census, his occupation is listed as lithographer.
Trouvelot had an interest as an amateur entomologist. In the U.S., silk-producing moths were being killed off by various diseases. Trouvelot brought some Gypsy Moth egg masses from Europe in late 1866 and was raising gypsy moth larvae in the forest behind his house. Trouvelot apparently understood the danger posed by the Gypsy Moths and housed them under netting. Unfortunately, an egg mass went missing during a storm in 1869. He immediately realized the potential problem he had caused and notified some nearby entomologists, but nothing was done. This story has been called into question, based on earlier reports Trouvelot made that his netting had holes in it large enough for robins to fit through and eat his caterpillars.
Shortly following this incident, Trouvelot lost interest in entomology and turned to astronomy. In this field he could put his skills as an artist to good use by illustrating his observations. His interest in astronomy was apparently aroused in 1870 when he witnessed several auroras.
When Joseph Winlock, the director of Harvard College Observatory, saw the quality of his illustrations, he invited Trouvelot onto their staff in 1872. In 1875, he was invited to the U.S. Naval Observatory to use the 26-inch refractor for a year. During the course of his life he produced about 7,000 quality astronomical illustrations. 15 of his most superb pastel illustrations were published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1881. He was particularly interested in the Sun, and discovered "veiled spots" in 1875. Besides his illustrations, he published about 50 scientific papers.
In 1878, Trouvelot and his son traveled to Creston, Wyoming Territory, to observe the total eclipse of the Sun on July 29.
By 1882, Trouvelot had returned to France and joined the Meudon Observatory. He worked there under Jules Janssen, a leading solar astronomer. However, Trouvelot resented the cloudy French sky, which impeded his observations. He traveled with Janssen to the Caroline Islands in the South Pacific to observe the total eclipse of 1883 and attempt to discover the phantom intra-Mercurial planet.
Trouvelot died at Meudon on April 22, 1895. At the time he was working on a monograph of Mars. His son, George, hoped to find a publisher for Etienne's drawings of Mars, but was unsuccessful. The whereabouts of almost all of the drawings left by Trouvelot to his family are currently unknown.

"My Snapchat is frozen. Must be 'cause Zuck is nearby," a Harvard undergraduate joked Thursday as he stared at his phone. A few rain-soaked yards away, Drew Faust, president of Harvard University, was giving her commencement address for the Class of 2017.
Faust's speech was on freedom of speech and the need to listen to ideologies different than your own. The undergraduate, a member of the choir, was too busy trying to access the Snapchat Stories of his closest friends to listen. His joke was a reflection of what is dominating headlines about Facebook: less about freedom of speech, more about copying all of Snapchat's features.
A few minutes later, the student put down the phone. A damp and listless crowd moved to attention. Surrounded by the usual top hats and fancy attire found at a Harvard University Commencement, Facebook CEO and cofounder Mark Zuckerberg, a member of the Class of 2004 who famously never graduated, took the stage to speak.
The rain—and the fact that graduates had already received their degrees earlier in the day—meant Harvard Yard was well less than half full. Of course, those missing people could watch Zuckerberg's speech live on Facebook from anywhere in the world.
For those, like the Snapchat-loving student who sat in front me, it was a moment to watch one of the richest people in the world reminisce on his college years at a shared institution and offer some advice.
For myself, a business reporter in the audience, it was a chance to see Zuckerberg in a suit and hear him talk to students, rather than to a room full of developers, investors, or journalists like usual. This was a Zuck out of water, though there was plenty of that too.
What we both learned is that Zuckerberg isn't just after the fame, the money, and a potential presidential run. He spent his Thursday afternoon telling and showing the world that he can be humble about the success he's achieved—and that he hopes others with power can do the same.
"I love this place," Zuckerberg said, with an unexpected amount of enthusiasm especially when compared to Faust, to begin what would be a 30-minute long speech that had a one-word tagline: purpose.
That single word was uttered 27 times within the speech, according to a transcript he later published to his Facebook page.
"Today I want to talk about purpose," Zuckerberg said. "But I'm not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose. We're millennials. We'll try to do that instinctively."
"Instead, I'm here to tell you finding your purpose isn't enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose," he continued.
Zuckerberg's first laugh from the audience came rather quickly. In his opening, welcoming esteemed people in attendance, he greeted "members of the Ad Board," the body of faculty in charge of disciplining students—whether it be for cheating on an exam or, in Zuckerberg's case, creating a site called Facemash.
The students around me laughed and the enthusiasm continued as he named classes and other experiences only Harvard alumni would really understand. His trip down memory lane, before he transitioned to the topic of purpose, was a tribute to Priscilla Chan, his wife and Harvard graduate of the Class of 2007.
"My best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla," he said. "Without Facemash I wouldn't have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here."
A female undergraduate, a member of the band, "aww'ed" next to me, and she asked if Zuckerberg was crying. Regardless if there were tears, to me, someone who has heard Zuckerberg speak dozens of times — in person at Facebook's F8 conferences, on earnings calls, and in Facebook Lives — it was the first time I had really felt a sense of humility from him. That continued.
When Zuckerberg began talking about purpose, it seemed that he was simply reiterating what he had already written in the nearly 6,000-word manifesto he published earlier this year titled Community. But while the words in that post were a bit dry and all around suspicious to a 2020 presidential campaign run, the speech at Harvard was a reminder that he's giving back right at this moment, not as a politician.
"Giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't free. People like me should pay for it. Many of you will do well and you should too," he said.
"He must be announcing Zuckerberg 2020 in a minute," joked another student sitting behind me.
Perhaps, but not today. For now, it seems that Zuckerberg isn't done with Facebook and the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.
The Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative covers a lot of issues, many of which he mentioned in his speech: climate change, health care, "modernizing democracy with online voting," online education, to name a few. He spoke of universal basic income, affordable childcare, and automation affecting jobs.
Zuckerberg also mentioned student debt. A student next to me rolled his eyes at the mention and asked to himself, yet aloud, "What is he actually doing about that? This is insulting."
For sure, Zuckerberg, from what I can see, isn't donating money to students' educations or lobbying for the federal government for a change of policy on student debt.
But what was important, at that moment, was his next transition, where Zuckerberg proved he can be humble. Yes, the man who dropped out of Harvard, created a network that serves nearly 2 billion people, and is on a quest to crush Snap Inc. can admit to his own privilege.
Again, humility shone through. Since it's a commencement speech we're talking about, this wasn't just The Zuckerberg Show. He had a lesson for undergraduates: to embody this same humility and to give back.
"If we're honest, we all know how much luck we've had"
It isn't easy, he said. Zuckerberg admitted to his own resistance to give back. He thanked his wife, who was in the audience, for convincing him to teach underprivileged youth after school.
Harvard students aren't naive to giving back. The dozens of students I sat with had woken up before 5 a.m. to play their instruments or sing Harvard songs until 5 p.m. They weren't paid. It was for a love of the craft that included entertaining the tens of thousands of people in the audience.
So, Zuckerberg may be preaching to the choir (figuratively, but to some literally) when he stresses giving back. But the human element was apparent—especially during one of the most inspirational parts of his speech, when he cried.
The most memorable moment came when he spoke of a student in the class he taught — thanks to Chan — that was headed to college next year. The student was scared — given his status as an undocumented immigrant — that his achievement would be taken away from him.
Zuckerberg had asked him over a meal what he wanted for his birthday. The student asked for a book on social justice.
"Here's a young guy who has every reason to be cynical," Zuckerberg said as he began choking up, "but he wasn't feeling sorry for himself. He wasn't even thinking of himself."
"I don't want to say his name to get him in trouble," he continued.
Zuckerberg, at his current state, has the power to connect the world. But he doesn't have the ability to get this student papers. In fact, the program that his company uses to hire foreign workers, H1B visas, has been ripped apart by the Trump administration. While Zuckerberg didn't directly name that program, nor mention President Donald Trump during his speech, the pain and the annoyance was obvious in his message and especially poignant in some sentences.
"We live in an unstable time," Zuckerberg said. "It's tough to care about other places when we don't feel good about our lives at home."
Zuckerberg may not run president in 2020. Neither will the undergraduates in attendance. But perhaps one day they will, and perhaps they'll be reminded what Zuckerberg said on that rainy day in Harvard Yard.
"Congratulations class of 2017. Good luck out there," he said in closing.


Love the purple shirt and red bandana color combination.
And despite crowds of fashionable men descending upon New York Fashion Week: Men's, Rubinstein instead set out to capture the unsuspecting gents of the city who treat the street as their runway every day. But who could blame him? With their injection of color—from older gents of the city wearing purple berets atop their gray Afros or red leisure jumpsuits while watching the world go by on their stoop, to the younger guys in taxicab yellow plaid overcoats and paint-splattered overalls—Rubinstein needn't look to the front row.
Here, Rubinstein captures New York realness at its most colorful.


Cookies, or 'biscuits' as we call them here in kiwiland, are not so much my thing, personally speaking. BUT, sometimes the occasion requires a delicious biscuit, and in such emergencies, I can cinch the apron and make it happen, quickly.
This yummy bickie is more accurately pile of chocolate and blueberries stuck together with a bit of cookie dough. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside (chewy gooey if still warm), they've never been a miss and only take a few minutes to make. No food processor needed.
That's because the dough is very sticky. You don't mould them, just 'splat' spoonfuls on the baking tray, and then they 'splat out' further as they cook. They're splat cookies. That's just how they are, in their souls.
There's nothing particularly healthified about it. It's got sugar, yes real sugar. You could sub in coconut sugar, or a stevia/erythritol unsugar if concerned about such things, it's up to you. In my case, I'm not diabetic, low-carbing or cane sugar allergic and don't eat any dessert often enough to be too concerned about the type of sweetener.
First you'll want to turn your chocolate into chunks.
I've found the quickest way to do this is to take a pestle (the club shaped part of a mortar and pestle) and pound the unopened block of chocolate into submission. This is heaps of fun.
Combine the sugar, oil, egg, vanilla and salt in a bowl.
Mix vigorously until everything is combined, then add the flour and mix further. It will be sticky!
Add the chocolate chunks and blueberries, mix some more.
Once everything is combined, drop ('splat') spoonfuls (size is up to you) of mix in evenly spaced lumps on a non-stick baking tray. A silicone mat is great, or line a regular tray with greased baking paper (no point in a quick and easy cookie if the clean-up is a nightmare).
Bake at 180C until the edges are turning golden and the middles are not sticky. They will spread out quite a lot. Mine took 15 minutes. They may appear a little underdone but will firm up upon cooling.
Once firm enough to remove from the baking tray, let them cool on a cookie rack.
Eat. Slightly warm is best, as the chocolate will be enticingly melty.
For a dessert, add icecream, cream or yogurt (coconut version if you want to maintain the 'dairy-free' status).
A closer look? Smells so gooooood. Nose to the monitor please.

Comme certains d'entre vous le savent, je suis allée il y a quelques semaines voir l'exposition Harry Potter à Bruxelles. Manque de chance, alors que je pensais en avoir profité au maximum, hier l'exposition a ouvert ses portes à nouveau avec de nouveaux objets, une déco spéciale Noël, et surtout, en compagnie de James Phelps – l'acteur qui a incarné avec génie Fred Weasley… Et je n'ai pas pu y assister ! J'ai décidé de prendre ma revanche cette semaine en intégrant au maximum l'un de mes fandoms préférés dans mon quotidien de Moldu.
As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago I went to Brussels to see the Harry Potter exhibition. Just when I thought that I had made the most of this experience, yesterday the exhibition opened its gates again with new items, a special Christmas display, and above all, in the company of James Phelps – the actor who so perfectly incarnated Fred Weasley… And I couldn't be there! I decided to take my revenge by adding one of my favorite fandoms into my Muggle's everyday life as much as I can throughout the week.
It's December 6th, and so it's time for another 6 on 6 challenge! I struggled a bit finding my 6 red objects for this month, but here's my selection. Enjoy, share and of course feel free to show me yours as well! ^^ Oh, and more info about this fun challenge can be found in the previous post here.
Here in France, E.Leclerc supermarkets are having a special offer in anticipation of the 7th episode of Star Wars. Being a huge fan of the galactic saga and a big nerd at the same time, I am of course collecting their tokens gathered in a surprisingly well made little album, presenting the characters, places etc. from the movies. You can also turn in it into a simple board game thanks to a special board included in the album, using different powers assigned to each token. But my first concern is to collect them all before the end, and as there are 54 collectibles all my family is not allowed to go grocery shopping elsewhere. A big baby sometimes can I be.
My absolute favorite sitcom of all times. There's everything you need to spend a nice evening, filled with laughter, and sometimes also deeper emotions. But mostly laughter, this series is just hilarious even if you know all the dialogues by heart. Although all six of the gang are great, Chandler has always been my number one; could he BE any funnier anyway…?
Last but definitely not least, meet Bulle (that would be Bubble in English), ready for Christmas with her magnificent Santa's cap. She's probably wondering what sort of delicious gift will be waiting for her under the Christmas tree this year, all while not even noticing that she has something on her nose.
Anyway, let me join her in wishing you happy preparations for Christmas, New Year, or just next Pizza Day and stay tuned for more geeky stuff from Nyanla the cat lady!

NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco said that the tests conducted at three sites by a University of South Florida research vessel confirmed oil as far as 3,300 feet below the surface 42 miles northeast of the well site. Oil also was found in a sub-surface sample 142 miles southeast of the spill, but further tests showed that oil is "not consistent" with oil from the spill.
Lubchenco said the water analysis "indicate there is definitely oil sub surface. It's in very low concentrations" of less than 0.5 parts per million. Additional samples from another research vessel are being tested, she said.
"We remain concerned about the location of oil on the surface and under the sea," said Lubchenco.
BP had questioned whether oil actually was forming below water.

As I was a kid, I had a mumps disease. In order to get recovered from mumps I was give an injection to overcome the infection. Currently, I am 32 years old and married for 3 years but I can not make a baby. I checked with physicians and had an operation but the doctor informed me afterwards that I have no any sperm produced. They attribute this infertility or azoosperima ( no sperm) to that disease and that injection. Please, your help is desparately needed because we both ( myself and wife) are still young and doing our best to have our own baby. please help needed!!!
Try bandhas or bandhanas in yoga and kegel exercises(they are called locks-try rootlock).Do yoga that improves blood flow to the lower areas.
Yes but usually if the inflammed glands were on both sides of the body. If it was only one side then usually ok. Also, the mumps must have occured after puberty to increase the risk of infertility.
