USAG Japan opens environmentally friendly wash rack for military vehicles
By Winifred BrownSeptember 23, 2020
SAGAMI GENERAL DEPOT, Japan (Sept. 23, 2020) – The brand new, environmentally friendly U.S. Army Garrison Japan Wash Rack here is open, and military personnel can now bring government vehicles and equipment there for cleaning."Washing your vehicles and equipment has a preventative maintenance value," said Ken Estabrook, chief Sagami sub facilities engineer, Directorate of Public Works, USAG Japan. "You keep it clean, and it won't fall apart as fast. So we provided the tools and the equipment to do that without violating environmental procedures."The state-of-the-art, self-service facility features two main bays that personnel can split into four using curtains; hoses with different sizes and pressure settings; an undercarriage cleaning system; and a water recovery and recycling system, Estabrook said.The facility's bays are big enough to accommodate large vehicles such as Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks, Estabrook said, but personnel can clean any size vehicle or equipment there as long as it belongs to the government.To use the facility, military personnel—Soldiers and civilians—must watch a training video in the DPW building, Building 161-1 on Sagami General Depot, to become an authorized user. Then, personnel can pick up the facility's keys from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and use the facility. The facility closes at 4 p.m. daily, and is closed on weekends and national holidays.The facility does not provide trash cans, so personnel must take their trash elsewhere, but the facility does provide brooms, and personnel must hose down the area when they're done, Estabrook said. The maintenance team does an inspection at the end of each day.It is also necessary that personnel ensure they use the special soap the facility provides, because if they don't, it will damage the water recycling system, Estabrook said.The facility's drainage system collects water in a catchment basin where solid sediment settles to the bottom, Estabrook said."Then it takes the separated water that probably still has some fine, emulsified contaminants in the water, and sucks it into the filtration system," Estabrook said. "It goes through about three or four different filters over there, becomes clean again, and goes back into the storage tank."The storage tank holds about 10,000 gallons, Estabrook said, and to ensure the water doesn't begin to smell after several uses, the system also includes aeration and ionization features.Personnel should never drink the facility's water, Estabrook said.The left bay has larger hoses that provide higher pressure, so is better for larger vehicles, and the right bay has smaller hoses with lower pressure that are better for smaller vehicles, Estabrook said. The left bay also features the undercarriage cleaning system, which is for larger vehicles."It's designed for the large equipment, because you don't want to drive a small vehicle over it," Estabrook said. "It will mess up the engine and it will mess up the electronics."Estabrook said personnel should not drive anything smaller than a Humvee over the undercarriage cleaning system.Although DPW is not normally a customer service organization, leaders made an exception in this case to provide oversight continuity, Estabrook said.Personnel from Camp Zama are welcome to use the facility."As a matter of fact, it's even better for that situation because we try to use this area as a training facility for Soldiers," Estabrook said.Because Sagami General Depot has a lot of open space, Soldiers can train in the field with their vehicles and equipment, clean them at the wash rack when they are done, and return to Camp Zama, Estabrook said.For more information, or to see if the wash rack is available, call the Sagami General Depot DPW customer service number at (DSN) 315-268-4931.

Ag News: Bud Light's Corn Syrup Ad
AgInfo.net
Jason Kempin
**The dust is settling after the controversy related to Bud Light's Super Bowl ads touting its lack of corn syrup.
Miller Lite and Coors Light were called out by Bud Light several times and, as agweb.com reports, the ads got an immediate reaction from farmers, much of it negative to Bud Light's tactics.
Ownership, MillerCoors, responded by thanking Bud Light in a New York Times ad for pointing out their beer was brewed with "corn syrup" and NOT "high-fructose corn syrup."
https://www.agweb.com/article/corn-growers-millercoors-respond-to-bud-light-corn-syrup-commercial/
**A Kentucky company says it's developed hemp plants that contain NO THC, the main psychoactive component in marijuana.
According to agweb.com, the announcement from GenCanna Global and University of Kentucky researchers is being hailed as a major breakthrough.
State growers and processors have struggled to keep trace amounts of THC out of natural variations.
The 2018 Farm Bill removed industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, but didn't change the legal THC standard.
https://www.agweb.com/article/taking-the-thc-out-of-hemp-plants/?mkt/
**In his first State of the Union address to a divided Congress, the president talked about his signature trade achievement that's now partly in the hands of the Democratic House majority.
Trump touted the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement as a no-brainer compared to the "historic blunder" and "catastrophe known as NAFTA."
But, as agrimarketing.com reports, Democrats have already asked for changes and lawmakers on both sides have suggested there's little hope for approving the new pact while Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico remain in place.

Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity
Radiation Basics
Degnen's Standard Radio-Active Solar Pad (1915-1930)
Radioactive Quack Cures
Radioactive Pads
M.L. Degnen, "the man who made this pad possible," has been associated with the development of the science of "radio-activity" since its inception. The knowledge thus gained has culminated in the "Radio-active Solar Pad," or so stated the literature of the Radium Appliance Company of Los Angeles.
Donated by Phil Nieberg.
This device was somewhat unusual in that it was supposed to be charged in sunlight prior to use. The manufacturer explained that its "radio-activity is further increased by exposing the pad to sunlight" and "when applied to the body, the pad immediately begins to discharge this energy into the system, sending the lifegiving current through the blood and nervous system."
The first version of the pad (ca. 1918-1925), such as that shown above, contained purified radium. Pads produced after 1925, like that in the lower photograph, employed uranium ore as the source of radiation. The company's advertisements from 1926 (e.g., Anaconda Standard, April 4, 1926) and possibly those of the previous year, explained that they began using Carnotite ore as a way to keep the pads affordable. They trumpeted the scientific breakthrough that made this possible as follows: "The laboratory of the Radium Appliance Company has succeeded in working out a scientific process whereby Carnotite ore of the highest grade in Radium content is stimulated and fortified by the addition of actual Radium purchased through the Bureau of Standards, Washington." Of course, cynics might claim that the company's real goal was to increase profits—uranium ore was far less expensive that purified radium.

Exposure rates:
Approximately 35-40 uR/hr above background at one foot for the radium containing pad (top photo)
Approximately 1-2 uR/hr above background at one foot for the uranium containing pad (bottom photo)
In the early days, Degnen's Radio-Active Solar Pad was priced at $15. By 1924, the price seems to have been increased to $17.50. At some point the company began selling multiple models of the pad. A Radium Appliance Company letter dated 1927 indicated that in addition to the standard pad there was a "Physicians Special $50 model" and a $100 "strong Physicians Special Pad. The different choices gave someone who didn't obtain results using a less expensive pad the option to spend more money. The following is taken from a Radium Appliance Company letter to a customer whose wife was making slow progress: "your wife is using our mildest Pad and if I were you Mr. Blake I'd have her change to this strong Physicians Special Pad—the $100 model." "I know that if she were a member of my family that I would insist on this." Another letter reminded the same man "What does money amount to... nothing in the world.
Degnen's Radio-Active Solar Pad was definitely popular. By 1930, advertisements proclaimed that over 150,000 had been sold (e.g., Cedar Rapids Sunday Gazette and Republican, August 24, 1930). A sales figure like that is not surprising if, as the company claimed, "Degnen's Radio-Active Solar Pad will benefit about 95% of all human ills."
Even Edgar Cayce, the internationally acclaimed psychic, recommended the pad. In fact, Cayce exchanged letters with John Dutcher of the Radium Appliance Company regarding the best use of the pad.
The accompanying drawing (from a company advertisement) shows M.L. Degnen inspecting one of his pads. Next to the pad is a Lind electroscope, just like that in the ORAU collection!
Read about Degnen's Eye Applicator, another radium-containing product from the Radium Appliance Company.
The Beginning of Radium Appliance Company
Even though an advertisement in the May 27, 1930 issue of the Amarillo Globe indicated that the Radium Appliance Company was established in 1916, the earliest contemporary references I have seen to the company were from 1917, e.g., a booklet written by M.L. Degnen regarding his Radioactive Solar Pad, and a newspaper advertisement that appeared September 14, 1917.
Degnen's personal listing in the 1917 edition of the Los Angeles City Directory indicated that he was associated with the Solar Energy Company. It wasn't until 1918 that the Radium Appliance Company was mentioned in the Directory.
Since the City Directory data might have been collected the year before it was published, it is reasonable to speculate that Degnen started the Solar Energy Company in 1916, and that the latter morphed into the Radium Appliance Company sometime in 1917.
The Board of Directors (You probably want to skip this section and jump to that dealing with M. L. Degnen)
In 1917, the following three "members" of the Radium Appliance Company were identified in a notice concerning the company's incorporation (Southwest Builder and Contractor. Volume 5, August 31, 1917): M.L. Degnen, E.L. Campbell and B.A. Hatch. The same individuals were linked to the company in the 1918 Los Angeles City Directory. These were the last references I have found to Campbell and Hatch in company-related literature.
By 1919, and through most of the 1920s, Radium Appliance Company had five key players: M.L. Degnen, J.R. Dutcher, A M. Milbach, A.S. Gywnn, and S.H. Higginbotham (see the following image from a company flyer 1921).
They modestly described themselves as follows: "we are just ordinary business men here in Los Angeles whose word and credit is good at any bank—the same kind of men as you have in your own community"
Michael Lawrence Degnen. Degnen was the man who founded the company and served as its president from its beginnings (1916/1917) until its demise (ca. 1933). He usually identified himself as a chemist in his personal listings in the Los Angeles City Directories.
John R. Dutcher. Dutcher seems to have functioned as the company's sales manager and oversaw their extensive advertising campaign. When you were looking to purchase their products, seeking information or registering a complaint, you interacted with him.
Marinus A. Milbach. According to Radium Appliance Company literature, Milbach was "formerly part owner and foreign buyer for one of the largest department stores in Los Angeles." For most of its history, 1925 through 1932, Milbach was identified as the company's secretary. The last document I have seen identifying the company's directors, the 1932 Los Angeles City Directory, lists Milbach, Dutcher and, of course, Degnen.
Samuel H. Higginbotham. Higginbotham was described as previously being a "part owner and representative of one of the largest rubber companies in America." Although it seems that he focused on sales, he also patented one of the company's most impressive radioactive products: the Sta-Put Truss ("it supports while it heals"). Higginbotham's background in sales probably gave him a good idea of what his customers needed. Sometime in 1925 or early 1926, he left Radium Appliance Company to become vice-president of Angelus Manufacturing Company.
Alfred E. Gwynn. A pamphlet produced by Radium Appliance Company said that Gwynn had been "President of the Board of Directors of one of our largest hospitals" and that he "probably built more houses in Los Angeles" "than any other one man." The Los Angeles City Directories from 1920 to 1925 identified Gwynn as a company manager. His job title changed to vice-president in the 1926 City Directory. In the City Directory for 1927, he was still listed as a vice-president, but not of Radium Appliance Company - he was now working for the Associated Mortgage Company of L.A.
Although Higginbotham and Gwynn seem to have left Radium Appliance Company at about the same time, ca. 1925-1927, the company continued to use a letterhead with their names on it as late as 1930. In any event, it is interesting to speculate that their departures might have been related to M.L. Degnen's legal troubles.
Michael L. Degnen
Michael L. Degnen was unlucky in love. The same could be said for his wives.
His first marriage only lasted ten years, his wife Grace passed away in November, 1921 at age 39. He was 51.
A year and a half after Grace's death, Degnen's began a relationship with Eloise Clement. Yes that Eloise Clement, star of the screen and stage. If her name doesn't ring a bell, you might recall her role alongside Marion Davies in the 1918 film "Burden of Proof."
Michael and Eloise were years apart in age, and their time together was brief, but they burned both ends of the candle. A case in point was their day trip to Tijuana Mexico where they spent most of a day in the Mint Saloon getting "heavily intoxicated" - Degnen would recall his bad hangover on the trip back to LA. Rather than going straight home, they decided to stop in La Jolla and spend three days in the Cabrillo hotel registered as "husband and wife." Oddly enough, as Eloise remembered it, they went to San Diego in order to perform certain tests with experimental photographic equipment. She didn't recall Tijuana. And the only reason they stopped at the hotel in La Jolla was that Michael became ill.
Despite being a professional actress, Eloise shared Michael's interest in science. She recalled visiting Degnen's laboratory in the Bradbury Building, almost always at night, where they would "conduct experiments." These visits occurred as often as three or four evenings a week.
Unfortunately, the nature of these experiments became a point of contention between the defense and prosecution when Eloise testified against Michael in court. The following exchanges between the Defense lawyer and Eloise were typical::
Question: "you say you went to the laboratory to perform some work. State what was done, any work that took you three hours to do."
Question: "Isn't it a fact that you went there and stayed with Mr. Degnen until about a quarter after 1 o'clock, and that there was no experiment of any kind conducted by you or him at that time?"
Answer: "Mr. Degnen acted in the position of my preceptor; he was teaching me."
Question: "Then I would like to know what he taught you that night."
This last comment outraged the prosecuting attorney:
"I object to that as incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial."
Another witness, the night foreman in the Bradbury Building, testified to the late hours that Michael Degnen and Eloise Clement devoted to science. He recalled one occasion when the two of them left the building at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Testimony from a building janitor indicated the significant level of effort they would expend in their desire to conduct their experiments. He described their arrival at the building one night after the elevator had ceased running, something that usually happened at 9 o'clock. "They were both so intoxicated that they had to help each other upstairs, both falling in doing so, and that it took about ten minutes for them to get to appellant's rooms, which were on the third floor."
Their "romance" ended the evening of July 30, 1923 with a nasty brawl that left both of them with multiple injuries. According to the case report: "The undisputed evidence is that on the next day they both showed on their persons ample evidence of the fact that they had been in a "fight" and that "Beyond dispute, E.C. was severely injured during the physical encounter." Among other things, Eloise had suffered a fractured clavicle.
Eloise did more than call off the relationship however. She also filed felony charges with the police with the result that Michael L. Degnen went to trial under a two-count indictment.
The first count: assault with intent to murder.
The second count: rape.
In his defense, Degnen blamed the altercation on their intoxicated state and the stress induced by her financial demands—he testified that she called him a piker" and complained that he "was not coming through."
But the jury was unsympathetic. On December 16, 1923, Michael L. Degnen was convicted on both counts. He was sentenced to no more than 25 years in prison and fined $500.
Eloise was elated and announced in the press that she intended to give up acting, become a lawyer, and specialize in prosecuting mashers. She might have celebrated too soon.
Degnen immediately appealed the court's decision, and on January 30, 1925 his conviction was overturned.
The president of Radium Appliance Company had dodged the proverbial bullet, and was now in a position to fully devote himself to company affairs. But there were forces beyond his control, and those of every other manufacturer of radioactive consumer products: the deaths of the radium dial painters, the great depression, and the clampdowns by the Department of Agriculture and the Federal Trade Commission. By 1934, Radium Appliance Company had ceased to exist, or was in its final days.
With not much happening at the office (or laboratory), Michael L. Degnen was ready for another shot at love. In January of 1934, Michael had a new bride. Antoinette was 47. He was 63.
Unfortunately, this marriage was even shorter than the first. Antoinette died in 1938, within four years of becoming Mrs. Degnen.
Both of his wives died at a relatively young age, Grace at 39 and Antoinette at 51. Michael L. Degnen passed away in January of 1945, at age 74.

A still from the video allegedly shot inside a Homs hospital
Image: Screen grab via Channel 4 News
Patients 'tortured' by doctors in Syrian hospital
Chilling footage has emerged from Homs, showing patients tightly shackled to beds and bearing the marks of beatings.
Mar 6th 2012, 8:17 AM 4,052 83
CHILLING FOOTAGE HAS emerged that appears to provide evidence that patients were brutally tortured in a Syrian hospital.
The video, leaked to Channel 4 News, shows men tightly shackled to their beds with rusty chains. They are blindfolded and appear to be unconscious.
The bodies of several bear wounds consistent with severe beatings, while a rubber whip and electrical cable lie on a nearby table.
Channel 4 News has said it cannot independently verify the footage, which it says was leaked by an employee at the Military Hospital in the conflict-torn city of Homs. The employee said that he had seen detainees electrocuted, whipped, and beaten.
"They twist the feet until the leg breaks," he said. "Others have their penises tied to stop them from urinating."
The grim footage has emerged after US Senator John McCain called for the country to launch airstrikes against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's regime. More than 7,500 people have been killed in a brutal crackdown against a rebellion that began last year.
McCain said the US should support the rebels militarily.
"The only realistic way to do so is with foreign airpower," McCain told the Senate. "The United States should lead an international effort to protect key population centers in Syria, especially in the north, through airstrikes on Assad's forces."
However, the top US commander in the Middle East has said that Syrian security forces have chemical and biological weapons on a "substantial" scale. The warning came from General James Mattis, head of US Central Command.

THE ATHENA FILM FESTIVAL AT BARNARD COLLEGE ANNOUNCES 2021 VIRTUAL WRITERS LAB PARTICIPANTS
Lab is Sponsored by Lifetime
Three-Day Virtual Lab currently taking place through September 22, 2021
The Athena Film Festival (AFF), a joint partnership between Barnard College's Athena Center for Leadership and the initiative Women and Hollywood has announced the participants for its 9th Writers Lab, and second virtual one, sponsored by Lifetime. The lab is hosted in partnership with the Stephens College Master of Fine Arts Program in Television. Bryce Norbitz is the Program Director for the Screenwriting Lab. The lab is currently running through September 22, 2021.
Seventeen emerging women and non-binary writers, 75% of whom identify as people of color, have been selected to work with each other and industry professionals to develop and polish their projects.
The lab provides burgeoning women storytellers with training, skills, and a robust supportive network so they can advance their projects and careers. The program includes one-on-one mentorship sessions with industry professionals, peer-to-peer and group workshops, and an Industry Day with panels on select topics. This year's Industry Day will focus on how to handle the different types of pitch meetings writers will need to participate in; understanding the ins and outs of representation, and learning about the writers process for both film and tv writers, and will feature a keynote conversation with filmmaker, screenwriter and tv producer Maria Maggenti.
The Athena Film Festival at Barnard College celebrates extraordinary stories of fierce and fearless women leaders from around the world. For more than a decade, Athena has been showcasing diverse and dynamic stories of women leaders, curating conversations, and inspiring audiences with a new understanding of what leadership looks like. As the only film festival specifically focused on women's leadership, Athena provides a forum for dialogue about gender and social justice and an opportunity to showcase what it means to be a powerful woman today, inspiring women and girls in the process.

The Athena Film Festival at Barnard College is dedicated to increasing the representation of women in the industry. Over the past eleven years, the Athena Film Festival at Barnard College has established itself as the premier festival dedicated to celebrating and elevating women's leadership. Our festival highlights films showcasing women's leadership from underexplored perspectives; women leading in all places and spaces who are resisting and refuting preconceived notions of all they can be and do.
Through our Creative Development Program, we are fostering a community of women who support and nurture each other and, collectively, are changing the industry and the stories we see on screen. Since our founding, the festival has grown beyond a four-day in person event to include these year-round initiatives that are advancing women storytellers and women-centric stories. Together, we are advancing a new vision of leadership – with women at the forefront.
The Athena Film Festival is a joint project of Barnard College's Athena Center for Leadership and Women and Hollywood. The festival's founding sponsor is the Artemis Rising Foundation and its CEO Regina K. Scully.

Lab Partner
The mission of the Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting is to bring more female and underrepresented voices into mainstream media. We are a low residency program which means students come from all over the country for a 10 day Workshop in Hollywood (at the Jim Henson Studios) and then complete their semester coursework back in their own homes online, which suits working mothers and others who want to create a body of work to present to agents before moving to Los Angeles. MFA candidates are matched with mentors – all working writers and members of the Writers Guild of America – to complete 5 scripts in two years while all the while studying film history with a female gaze. Our graduates have a remarkable record of success, having written on shows such as "Ramy," "13 Reasons Why," "Seal Team" and Lena Dunham's "Generations" on HBOMax.

This touching duet finds its lyrics in the Hail Mary.
Andrea Bocelli dropped his newest album, Sì, last month and since then he has become the first classical artist to reach #1 on the Official UK Album charts since the Three Tenors, in 1994. The 17-track record brings together some of the most popular voices in classical, pop music, and even jazz, including Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Josh Groban, and Andrea's son Matteo Bocelli.
In the latter half of the album, Bocelli is joined by Aida Garifullina, a Russian soprano with a downright gorgeous voice, who has performed with Andrea in many live events. The song "Ave Maria Pietas" finds its lyrics in the Hail Mary prayer, and the accompanying music video was shot in a beautifully ornamented cathedral, with dancers to complement the vocals.

With the support of humans like you, we've impacted over 65,000 youth in 14 countries and we are just getting started!
We, at A HUMAN PROJECT, understand there are many non-profits in the world. We appreciate your desire to donate to our work. Nothing A HUMAN PROJECT does is "status quo". We believe there is a need for a shift in the world of non-profits, from the way they are ran to the way people support them. It all needs to change.
ALL DONATIONS made via our website go directly to our E3 system. This means that 100% of your donation is used to expand the reach of AHP across the globe. This is achieved due to the fact that all AHP operational costs are funded by private donors. Your donation is used for our Extraction, Education and Evolution initiatives, ensuring that more youth will be impacted and given the tools to rise above dysfunction.
We work tirelessly to achieve our goals and mission. We invest in the future of our organization and in creating the largest global impact possible. We don't look at quarterly or yearly impact models. We play the long game, as we create a permanent solution for dysfunction.
All of this requires a divergent way of thinking to the traditional non-profit model. Our goal is not to garner a 5 star rating on charity watchdog sites. These sites measure non-profits' "purity" based on an outdated model of overhead and donation dollars (commonly knows as the "80/20 rule"). We believe that true success can only be found in long term, sustainable impact.
We are transparent with how we spend every dollar. We keep our overhead low. We invest in areas that create results. We take risks. We run A HUMAN PROJECT with integrity and honesty. We don't limit ourselves or the impact we make by adhering to models that have been proven to be unsuccessful for decades. We thank-you for your donation.

Weekend Redux: What You Missed
By Amy Derjue·	 4/14/2008, 9:26 a.m.
Just because you spent all weekend wondering why the hell FOX cut from a full count at the end of a one-run Sox/Yankees game to switch to NASCAR coverage doesn't mean the world stopped moving. We round up the notable stories you missed.
It's all economic downturn all the time in Saturday's Globe. Whether we're learning that people aren't eating deep dish pizza at Uno's as often as they used to, or diesel prices are soaring, the message is that we're all screwed. Even spendthrift Gov. Deval Patrick may have to consider budget cuts.
Speaking of the Governor, his approval ratings are dropping like a stone. While he hasn't reached a President Bush-like number, things have never been this bad for him.
More Bay State residents disapprove of Governor Deval Patrick's job performance than approve, according to a new poll. Forty-nine percent said they disapproved, while 41 percent approved, the SurveyUSA/WBZ-TV poll suggested.
First Bob Lobel, now the entire station may get the boot. Land-hungry Harvard University is in talks with WBZ to buy the station's property in Allston.
Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham is back from maternity leave! And she's going to become an American! Good for her.
It's a great time to buy a home, since the misfortune of others has reduced prices on properties by tens of thousands of dollars. Unless you live in one of the impoverished ZIP codes, of course.
Listen, we know that teenagers talk like idiots. But it doesn't teach them to at least feign intelligence when you put their verbalized pauses in writing.
It was all spelled out in the clearest terms: "I, Michela Parmeggiani, do promise to limit my cellphone use . . . NO TEXT MESSAGING IS ALLOWED ON THIS PHONE! . . . I, like, so totally agree."
Also, $220 in text messages?! We're never having kids.
Here's another reason to loathe the idea of tollbooths on I-93. A new study says people who use FastLane transponders have no idea how much they're spending to use the roads. Not only that, but the study says that legislators have an easier time raising the tolls.
And congratulations to the BC Eagles, which won the NCAA Frozen Four.

This switch, when hidden under the floor mat, triggers an alarm when the person walks over it. Mat switch can be used as a security measure in a restricted area. Just put the switches beneath the mat after regular intervals so that when anybody who puts his feet on switch will engage the alarm.
This circuit is built around the CMOS UM3561 IC which is mostly used in toys and alarms because of its low cost and power saving ability.
1 The circuit does not consume the battery current in standby mode therefore lead to longer battery life.
2 You can also stabilize 9V DC mains adaptor in place of the battery.
Assemble the circuit and mount the switches under the mat. When anyone presses the switch, the signals are provided to the base of the transistor T1. The base voltage of transistor T1 increases in comparison to emitter voltage and T1 starts conducting. Conduction mode in T1 makes transistor T2 to start conducting which in turn switches on the MOSFET BS170. This will provide the supply to IC1 Pin 5 which makes the output pin 3 of IC1 high. This high is provided to Darlington pair transistor T4, T5 and the loudspeaker connected to it starts sounding. We have connected the Zener diode at pin 5 of IC1 because the operating voltage of UM3561 varies from 3V to 4.5V therefore excess voltage may damage the IC.


Hallelujah! There was no rain today! The sky was still overcast, but no droplets were falling from the clouds. It was great to be able to go outside and fill the feeders and refresh the birdbaths, and it was delightful to stand on the deck with my camera and take a few pictures.
Here are several birds that stood still long enough for me to get a photo.
Oh…and this fellow stopped by as well.

A few days ago we showed you the patio and wall cleaning we did in Dani's property in Tottenham, N17.
But we did not show you how the place looked initially. It was extremely overgrown with bamboo plants everywhere. The trellis fence was old and falling apart, and the walls were very muddy.
And we changed that. Our team cleared the place, removed all bamboo plants, shredded all greenery. After that, we pressure washed the whole area, installed a new trellis fence and panted all the walls and raised beds.
It took us three days, but it looks pretty good, isn't it?

Il City vince 4-3, ma è urlo Tottenham. Spurs in semifinale con l'Ajax. Partita incredibile all'Etihad Stadium: dopo 21 minuti il risultato è sul 2-2 grazie alle reti di Sterling, Son (doppietta) e Bernardo Silva. Sterling riporta avanti i Citizens al 21' e Aguero firma il poker al 59'. Sembra fatta per Guardiola, ma Llorente al 73' segna il gol che vale la qualificazione degli Spurs. Finale rovente: il Var cancella il 5-3 di Sterling al 93' per un offside di Aguero.
Niente rimonta del Porto: il Liverpool vince 4-1 e raggiunge il Barcellona in semifinale. La squadra di Klopp raggiunge la semifinale per il secondo anno consecutivo dopo il 4-1 rifilato al Porto in trasferta. A segno tutto il tridente d'attacco più van Dijk nel finale.

Law Enforcement & Crime
Harborside Wins Again in Court
by David Downs
David Downs Harborside medical cannabis
David Downs HHC operator Stephen DeAngelo and supporters speak at a protest against the forfeiture of Harborside's leased properties (July, 2012)
Magistrate Judge James allows sale of medical cannabis to continue at the Oakland dispensary, while US Attorney Melinda Haag's forfeiture case goes to trial.
In possibly the first verdict of its kind, a federal judge has just allowed the world's largest medical pot club to keep selling the federally illegal drug.
The stunning court victory occurred Monday when Harborside Health Center won the right to remain open while it fights federal forfeiture charges in the coming months and potentially years. US Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James ruled in favor of the huge club, denying two motions for preliminary injunctions from Harborside's landlords that would have forced an end to cannabis sales at Harborside's Oakland and San Jose locations.
David Downs
Harborside medical cannabis
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag of Northern California is trying to seize Harborside's two locations unless it stops selling state-legal medical cannabis. In response, Harborside's landlords asked a state judge to issue unlawful detainers evicting Harborside. The club quashed the motions, causing the landlords to take their case to federal Magistrate Judge James.
Judge James has now denied the landlords' motions as well. The landlords lack the authority to stop weed sales through such motions, Judge James wrote in her seventeen-page ruling. Adding, "there is nothing… indicating that Harborside's continued operation compromises the existence, value, or title of either the Oakland or San Jose Property."
The court ruling stated, "Any argument about the urgency of stopping Harborside's activities rings hollow."
The club still faces a federal forfeiture trial, where its defense boils down to the novel argument that the government's statute of limitations to prosecute the club has run out. Harborside has operated publicly, with a city permit for six years, and serves about 100,000 members. Case precedent indicates the statute of limitations for the government to prosecute is five years, Harborside's attorneys argue. It would be poetic if Harborside's inherent openness is what sets it free, given that its mission has always been to bring medical marijuana 'out of the shadows and into the light'.
"Despite the government's efforts to shortcut the case, Harborside will now be able to fully defend itself at trial," Harborside attorney Henry Wykowski wrote in a statement. "The stage is now set for a jury trial on the underlying issues of the litigation, which will probably take place in about one year."
"We are grateful that Judge James carefully considered the facts and arguments in the Harborside case, and decided to grant us our day in court," said HHC Executive Director Steve DeAngelo. "We have always believed that a Bay Area jury will recognize the value that Harborside brings to the community, and refuse to allow the federal government to seize the properties where we are located. We look forward to proving our case in front of a jury, and continue to believe we will prevail.

Five staircases in the City of London
We are working with Littlehampton Welding on the detailing of five steel staircases that form part of a commercial fit-out for a refurbishment project in the City of London.
The five staircases are destined for different parts of the building — two behind the scenes and three in public view, one of which is a feature stair — so while all are steel fabricated and include mezzanine landings, the finishes vary. The four-flight feature stair frame supports 30mm thick stone treads and glass balustrades to the mezzanines.
The key challenge is to maintain the design intent of the staircases in the context of the building's existing constraints, such as the positions of existing steelwork elements and differing deflection limits in the various locations. We carried out vibration assessments to make sure that the lightweight structural designs result in stairs that still meet the desired performance. For the feature stair, the connections details are required to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Cheesy. Buttery. Fluffy. Every time! Follow Erin MacGregor's – RD from How To Eat – recipe for multi-serving-ready Baked Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, complete with a warm and fluffy guarantee! Made with Ontario-laid Conestoga Farms Omega-3 Eggs for that extra kick of essential nutrients. Time to get cracking!
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter and salt until well combined. Stir in cheese.
Transfer egg mixture to a 9" x 13" baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes, until eggs are just set. If planning on reheating the eggs before serving, bake for a minute or two less (they will be slightly looser).
Serve directly from the baking dish or transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately. If reheating, microwave on medium-low power until just heated through, 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, bake at 350F for 5 minutes.

Q: How to cover a div with an img tag (like background-image does)? As discussed here I am trying to get an image to be covered within a div. With just these simple lines I was able to achieve this via background-image:
div{
    width: 172px;
    height: 172px;
    border-style: solid;
    background-image: url('../images/img1.jpg');
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
}

In result the image was centered within the div and was resized so it would fit the width or the height of the div (depending if the image was wide or not).
Now I would like to achieve the same result with the image tag within the div.

Is there any way to get through this with plain CSS?

A: If you want to recreate the background-size: cover; look without using a CSS background image, you can use the following to achieve the desired result. Keep in mind, however, that there will always need to be a container holding the image.
div {
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}
img {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    min-width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
}

Depending on your additional CSS, you might want to use max-width and max-height.

A: Use object-fit:cover to not lose ratio.

div {
  border: black solid;
  width: 400px;
  height: 400px;
}

img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover
}

NOTE: this is not supported in IE

P.S. - For those who like to downvote (and are downvoting) just for the simple reason that "It doesn't work in IE" (by the way, it is an outdated browser, so please educate your clients to use at least the upgraded browser EDGE), there are a few object-fit polyfills out there that will make object-fit work.
Here are a few examples:

*

*object-fit-images

*constancecchen /object-fit-pollyfill

*Polyfill for CSS object-fit property
Or if you think its an overkill using a polyfill just for that property, here is simple snippet that will make this work in IE.
You can use a simple JS snippet to detect if the  object-fit is supported and then replace the img for a svg

//for browsers which doesn't support object-fit (you can use babel to transpile to ES5)

if ('objectFit' in document.documentElement.style === false) {
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
        document.querySelectorAll('img[data-object-fit]').forEach(image => {
            (image.runtimeStyle || image.style).background = `url("${image.src}") no-repeat 50%/${image.currentStyle ? image.currentStyle['object-fit'] : image.getAttribute('data-object-fit')}`
            image.src = `data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='${image.width}' height='${image.height}'%3E%3C/svg%3E`
        })
    })
}
img {
  display: inline-flex;
  width: 175px;
  height: 175px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  border: 1px solid red
}

/*for browsers which support object fit */

[data-object-fit='cover'] {
  object-fit: cover
}

[data-object-fit='contain'] {
  object-fit: contain
}

A: Try this:
div {
    position:relative;
}
img {
    max-height: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    margin: auto;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}

This assumes you have given a size to the div.

White Hinterland, "Baby" (Dead Oceans)
By Dan Gibson
White Hinterland opens for Wildcat! Wildcat! on Tuesday, October 7 at Club Congress. The all-ages show is at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10. More info at hotelcongress.com.
Casey Dienel, the mind behind White Hinderland, announces her intentions on "Baby," her third album under that name, right off the bat, with a few seconds of her fascinating voice unaccompanied and upfront on the first song, "Wait Until Dark," followed by a piano solo of sorts. If you're going to enjoy her music, it's going to be largely based on her appreciation of her voice, which has elements of modern R&B, the richness of Fiona Apple and the adventurousness of the Kate Bush back catalog. If you can't ride with the way she runs through notes, layering stacks of her vocals upon themselves, you'll need to find a new album to listen to. However seeing that it's easy to pick up on her tremendous talent, whether it's on the Dirty Projectors-styled jagged rhythms of "Ring the Bell" or a piano ballad like "David" that would make Tori Amos proud, the idiosyncrasies and occasional busyness of how Dienel approaches songwriting is more often interesting than annoying. At very least, in a crowded field of super-talented vocalists who occasionally seem to settle into predictable and sometimes dull patterns, "Baby" is the sound of someone looking to break new ground, creating something uniquely her own.

PESHAWAR - Finance department, government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has signed an agreement with the European Union for 64 million euros budgetary support to be received in over next four years.
Executed by Oxford Policy Management (OPM) in six districts of Malakand division i.e. Chitral, Malakand, Dir Lower, Dir Upper, Shangla and Swat, this budgetary support would be received under the Community Driven Local Development (CDLD).
The representative of the OPM said that to support better management control, monitoring and evaluation a web-based Management Information System (MIS) integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) is developed. He further informed that system is designed in such a way that it will not only help the government track the development progress while sitting anywhere in the world but also improve the monitoring and evaluation of development projects through few clicks on the mobile phone screen. He further states that currently this system is designed only for six districts but in future the system may be extended to other districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Oxford Policy Management has arranged two days CDLD MIS training session for master trainers in ICMS, Peshawar. The participants were provided with comprehensive training manuals and hands-on practices.

Entrepreneurial Grads Make Forbes "30 Under 30" List
Each year, Forbes honors a short list of up-and-comers in a wide range of fields. Two CIA graduates were named to the magazine's prestigious "30 Under 30" list in the Food & Drink category for 2018. Both hold bachelor's degrees in management from the college and share an entrepreneurial drive that inspired them to launch and grow successful businesses.
Carlie Steiner, 26, is co-owner and beverage director of Himitsu, one of the hottest restaurants in Washington, DC. She worked for famed chef José Andrés before co-founding Himitsu in 2016 and creating the restaurant's popular drinks program.
Michael Tierney, 28, is the founder of Mikey's. His company sells gluten-free, paleo-certified baked goods to 3,500 stores across the United States, including Walmart and Whole Foods. After working in renowned restaurants such as The French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park, he opened his own business three years ago, and sales already top $5 million a year.
"For the members of the 30 Under 30 class of 2018 in food and drink, shaping America's meals is less about zeroing in on what's next and more about balancing what consumers say they want with strong business fundamentals and products that will withstand the test of whims," wrote Forbes editors in announcing this year's honorees.

Apple remembers Steve Jobs with home page tribute
5 October, 2012 - Paul Dixon
Marking the first anniversary of Steve Jobs' passing, Apple has today replaced its usual home page with a tribute to its co-founder and former CEO. Visitors to the site are greeted with a short video slideshow featuring black & white photos of Jobs, which are accompanied by audio clips from some of his most memorable presentations.
A message from Apple CEO Tim Cook follows the video:
Steve's passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us.
I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.
One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.
I'm incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road.
It's a wonderful tribute to Steve's memory and everything he stood for.
I'm sure you will agree, it's an extremely classy and fitting tribute.

First and foremost, get the offer in writing from the perspective employer (email is fine, but make sure there's a hard copy being sent behind it).
Get a full job description. Don't put yourself in a situation where people assumed your role meant more, or less than it does. Within this description be sure that success criteria is listed, this is very important if part of your role is developing new business.
Get a defined list of health care (include dental and eye coverage) and life insurance programs.
401k? Do they match, and to what percentage?
Is there a travel percentage expectation in a standard month?
Do they have profit sharing?
Outline any specific computer type (operating system), office materials or additional allocations that will be needed prior to acceptance.
Miscellaneous: Cell phone reimbursement (include apps', if your position should have an understanding of mobile trends), company credit card and defined departmental budget. Is there parking or tolls outside the standard day that could accrue against you?
Continuing education: Will money be put aside for additional education, seminars or conventions for your position?
Relocation: Will they pay for the move? Will they provide packing services? Will they find you a home or will that be your responsibility? If they will not find you a home, do they have corporate housing or apartments? And IF your previous home does not selling within "X" number of months will they purchase it at market value?
Additional protection: Ask that if you are laid off for any reason that there is a built-in severance allocation of three months or more. This is especially important if you moved to take the job.
Needless to say you won't win them all. Remember, it's important to understand that you need to make sure that you get everything buttoned up prior to starting the job. Chances are extremely slim that you'll get anything after signing the employment agreement. A good employer wants to keep you happy as much as you want to do a great job for them. So get it all in writing and start a job on the right foot.

Despite the soaring price of gas, people, more than ever, are driving to their vacation destinations or to visit family. The drive may offer you a view of majestic mountains, ocean waves caressing the shore, or the hustle and bustle of the themed amusement parks. But, if you are travelling with children, there are also challenges; they will only play "I Spy" for so long before asking, "Are we there yet?" You don't need a burning bush to tell you that soon or later you'll to hear, "He's (she's) hitting me." As though possessing prophetic power, you glance into the rearview mirror just in time to see the "sneak" attack begin. Before the conflict escalates, you speak the words that will restore peace, "I see you." There is power in the simple words, "I see you" which can convey a warning or praise. Marcel Iseli (2021), a contributing author to Linguablog, states:
"When someone says, "I see you," they are showing that they recognize what you are doing. Whether you are being sneaky or industrious, someone may say "I see you" to show that your conduct has not gone unnoticed."
I've learned that people don't really struggle when drawing attention to their accomplishments. But even people that don't go out of their way to seek praise like to be recognized for a job well done, even if done privately. In fact, the lack of employee recognition is often cited as a main contributor to employee turnover. Conversely, the newspaper or evening news can show the lengths taken to hide embezzlement, drug offenses, murder, or numerous other offenses. It's like there is a belief that no one is watching; but Proverbs 15:3 (NLV) reminds us:
"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."
Jesus understood the importance of seeing people, not as they wanted to be seen but as they were. He emphasized this point when asked by the Pharisees, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" He answered (Luke 5:31-32, NIV):
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
How often do we really see or seek to find those in need? The truth is it's easy to hide in a crowd. I'm guilty of walking past the homeless person on the street, or ignoring the person at work, school or church that sits alone. But in being called to lead like Jesus, we must learn to remove our blinders. We must put aside our biases, prejudices, and expectations to see people, not as we want but, as they are. Jesus didn't just have the ability to lead, He saw people, especially those in need. Paul Hammons (2016) tells us that when:
"Jesus looked at those crowds and saw individuals. He saw men and women who were lost, "like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:36). And even while seeing the crowds, he had a knack for finding the soul who had a need and responding to them as a unique individual. Sometimes they needed to be commended (Mark 12:34). Sometimes they needed to be challenged (Luke 18:22). Sometimes they needed to be corrected (Luke 7:40)."
Today, we have seen an increase in mass shootings, domestic violence, and bullying at work, church, and home. Many people report feeling isolated, talked over, overlooked, or ignored in meetings, family settings, or other social settings. They are feeling alone; as though "they are invisible." They feel as though they don't exist. But simply saying, "I see you" can help others break through those feelings of isolation. Lolly Daskal, founder and CEO of Lead from Within, explains that:
"Among the tribes in Northern Natal in South Africa, the tribes greet each other with "Sawu bona" which in the English language is equivalent to saying "hello" The phrase "Sawu bona" literally is defined as "I see you." Which means: when you see me you bring me into existence."
Unfortunately, many leaders neglect, or even avoid, the responsibility of seeing those that have the greatest need. We have seen the people that need the most help (employee, child, spouse, etc.) being overlooked, ignored, or simply reassigned because of the leader's self-interest. Philippians 2:4 reminds us:
"Let each of you look not only to his own
interests, but also to the interests of others."
Effective leaders understand, the importance of recognizing people for their diligence, accomplishments, or just for being a part of the team. This recognition doesn't have to be elaborate; it can be as simple as taking the time to saying good morning. This simple act can communicate, "I see and care about you." Remember, our words have the power to "Speak life" (Toby Mac, 2012).
Challenge: "Jesus was willing to invest in people others would have dismissed" (R. Edmonson, 2016). Today is an opportunity to tell someone, "I see you." Look around and identify someone that may need words of encouragement and offer them your help. As with the tribes in Northern Natal, you may help bring them into existence. As you undertake this challenge, don't forget God may be saying, "I see you!"
The Biblical DISC® Assessment will help you see yourself and others as God created them.

I'm rather partial to Emerald (especially in comparison to 2012's Tangerine Tango) but that might have something to do with being a May baby. It's great to see my birthstone getting so much recognition! And, since I'm so partial to this year's colour, I thought I'd round up some gorgeous handmade Emerald Green items for you.
Will you be adding Emerald and other green tones to your 2013 collections? If you already have green items, have you considered editing your product descriptions and keywords to include Emerald? I bet it'll be a hot search term this year!

Q: hide console-window on executing _popen I hava a small c-tool in which i execute _popen. I compile the tool for windows and linux, in linux i use instead of _popen the function popen.
These functions work well and i can get the sub-process' output. But if i execute the function on windows (_popen) there's a cmd-window visible. On this window there's no ouput, but the window is visible.
Is there a way to block or hide this window?
best regards

A: You can call CreateProcess with the CREATE_NO_WINDOW
 flag. This is obviously non portable but it does get the job done.

A: You can call GetConsoleWindow to get the handle of the console window, and then call ShowWindow to hide it.
