ТЕС Гресік – теплова електростанція на сході індонезійського острова Ява.

В 1981 році на майданчику станції стали до ладу дві парові турбіни потужністю по 100 МВт, які в 1988-му доповнили ще двома паровими турбінами потужністю по 200 МВт.

У 1992 – 1993 роках станцію підсилили за рахунок трьох однотипних блоків комбінованого парогазового циклу потужністю по 526 МВт, в кожному з яких три газові турбіни по 112,5 МВт живлять через котли-утилізатори одну парову турбіну з показником 188,9 МВт.

Нарешті, в 1993-му ТЕС отримала дві встановлені на роботу у відкритому циклі газові турбіни потужністю по 20 МВт.

Конденсаційні блоки станції спорудили з розрахунку на споживання нафти, тоді як будівництво парогазової черги відбувалось у єдиному комплексі з початком розробки офшорних родовищ, звідки на схід Яви по трубопроводам Поленг – Гресік та Східнояванському почав надходити природний газ (наприкінці 2010-х їх можливості були підсилені за рахунок газопроводу Гресік – Семаранг). З 2016-го станція може використовувати як пікове сховище розташований поруч завод стисненого газу Гресік, що дозволяє додатково вводити в роботу 300 МВт генеруючих потужностей.

Для охолодження використовують морську воду.

Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованим на роботу під напругою 500 кВ та 150 кВ.

Think I'll buy a boat.
"A giant bluefin tuna was sold for a record 333.6 million yen ($A4.4 million) in the first auction of the year at Tokyo's new fish market."
The way that looked to me was the price is similar to the first box of cherries for the Australian season. That box of cherries goes for many time more than the regular prices.
Sell the detector, the van and the toyota, and hire a big boat. You are only going fishing the once, aren't you?
That way, new detector, van and 4Wd after the line goes tight.
While this is a special case to celebrate the opening of the new fish market , I have to tell you that the value of a tuna is decided by a little old Japanese man who is a National Treasure, who takes a plug from the side of a tuna , sniffs it tastes it and declares what its value should be per kilo.
I remember that Austrade tried to introduce an objective measure about 30 years ago but AFAIR failed to convince the Japanese. What looks like a very valuable fish may not be if the bloke decides that it is too coarse or whatever.
Tsukiji Fish market ( pronounced SKIDGEE) decided the value based on the advice. Oz fishermen do not know what the value will be until it is auctioned based on the advice. The new fish market will be the same.
"Tsukiji Fish market ( pronounced SKIDGEE) decided the value based on the advice"
Aussies sometimes have trouble with the way Japanese words are pronounced.
Japanese characters Su (meaning 'number') and Doku (meaning 'single') but nearly all of them in Oz call it Su Doko when it is Su Doku, ie, dealing with single number.
Aussies just dispense or change some letters to make it easy for them.
ABC reporters leave by the Exit to report on BreGsit. Just lazy. Just goes to prove "X" is an unknown value especially at the ABC.
Well, if you are going to tell someone how to pronounce something, it would be wise (don't you think) to be correct.
No you weren't, but Rangiephil was, and the "you" was generic.
I'm sorry you feel that I was picking on you! I really wasn't.
Well you did start with @Garrycol so clearly aimed at me but lets accept that was a typo :-).
Rangiphil the price is determined at auction not by some little old man. If price was soley determined by him he would indeed be a national treasure and certainly a very overworked one. It would also mean you wouldn't need an auction.


Home / News / School's Out Forever!
On the move at Christmas time.
September beckons, it's back to school!
No good story started with a salad!
As some of our children are finishing their final exams after weeks of revision, stress and post-it notes stuck everywhere, it is almost time for them to breathe out and think about the long summer holidays stretching out ahead.
They may be enjoying a family holiday or venturing off on their own lads or girls holidays!
The island of Hvar is the club capital in Croatia.
To the parent this will be a scary time where our babies may be flying off to party hard. Holidays like this have become a rite of passage, the first time travelling without parents, the first time without rules .
You may be tempted to label their clothes, fill the case with first aid items and their special Paddington Bear Toy that still sits on their bed.
You can get away with helping them to not lose their bags on holiday and spot their kit as it travels around the luggage carousel.
Our monogram luggage tags are cool enough for even the fussiest teen.

Today's walk started once again from the Castlemartin Firing Ranges. The Wales Coast Path was open for business and possible to be walked. I was glad because I had heard that this particular stretch is beautiful and not to be missed. I was also happy to avoid a lengthy detour inland.
My first stop was the Elegug Stacks (or Stack Rocks), which are two pillars of rock rising from the water. Yet another stunning feature on the Pembrokeshire coast. The two stacks are important nesting sites for guillemots and kittiwakes, in fact 'elegug' is the Welsh word for 'guillemot'.
I keep using the word breathtaking, but for good reason, I think.
There were several seals on the beach below, including a pup. I hadn't seen seals for quite some time so I was delighted to be reacquainted.
Sometimes it's easy, on this stretch, to forget that you're actually walking across a firing range.
I spotted a band of climbers making good use of the cliffs at Huntsman's Leap. The name comes from local legend in which a hunter on horseback is said to have jumped from one side of the gap to the other whilst being chased. When he looked back and saw the gap that he had jumped, he died of shock.
Arriving at St Govan's Head I made my way down the steps to St Govan's Chapel. Apparently, the number of steps differs on the way down to the number on the way up. Hmm (no I didn't count).
This tiny chapel is built into the side of the limestone cliff.
The story goes that Sant Gofan or St Govan as an Irish monk who travelled to Wales, but was chased by pirates. He hid in the cliffs here.
This building dates from the 13th century but it's possible that some bits go back to the sixth century.
After the climb back up the stairs (again, I didn't count the number of steps, sorry!), I continued past various structures on the range.
The scenery continued to be incredible.
I was very much enjoying the walk. It was easy underfoot and the surroundings were inspiring.
I honestly could have stayed all day long. It's such a shame that this stretch of coastline isn't open all the time.
I wasn't the only one appreciating the scenery.
I was arriving into Broadhaven on the National Trust's Stockpile estate. My day was almost at an end.
I had enjoyed the walk immensely. However, my feet had different ideas, in particular my right one. When I removed my socks I discovered that my ankle had grown a small pillow. Oh dear.

Eagles Roll Out Budweiser Events Center Upgrades
By Zach Spedden on October 4, 2018 in Hockey, Minor League/Juniors
As they prepare for their AHL debut, the Colorado Eagles are rolling out new Budweiser Events Center upgrades, including enhancements to team facilities.
Following the 2017-18 season, the Eagles made the move up from the ECHL to the AHL. The club was added to the AHL as the league expanded to 31 teams–the same number as the NHL–and will serve as the AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche.
With the move to a new league comes improvements to the facilities at Loveland's Budweiser Events Center. Many of the areas serving the team have been expanded and upgraded, putting the venue in a better position to host a higher level of professional hockey. More from the Coloradoan:
In is a new, expanded locker room under the west stands with room for 29 lockers to hold a big and ever-shifting roster as the Avs top affiliate.
There's a new coaches room, upgraded from a small (almost closet) to a spacious room with TVs, white boards and desks. The equipment room has expanded and there's now a training room for injury treatment and recover.
There's also a weight room under the east stands, the first time the Eagles have had a dedicated weight room….
"Heaven to hell to the NHL, here we are. Beautiful," Eagles president and general manager Chris Stewart said. "The hell was when we ripped this thing apart. I mean, it was gutted. That was the tough part for me, that ripped my heart out. Now it's like Christmas. Certainly the county was a big player in this and always has been. If we don't have a strong relationship with them, this doesn't work."
The Eagles will play their first AHL regular-season game on Friday, when they host the Chicago Wolves at the Budweiser Events Center.

This past 6 weeks and the last 30 days have been the coldest winter ever in the northern end of Willamette Valley. All of our customers used more propane than ever before. Our drivers attempted to stay on top of their routes but access to customer's driveways were too unsafe for a 30,000lb truck. Driveways had 6" up to 1' of snow and then it turned to ice and made it impossible to fill your tanks. Hill roads on Chehalem Mountain and Bald Peak Mountain such as Mountain Top Road, Bell Road, Laurelwood Rd and Mountain Home Road were impassible for a propane delivery truck – some accounts we had to hand deliver by pickup 25 gallon tanks of propane and dump into their tanks. Driveways were not plowed and were too steep from the main road to the tank location. Most customers were very understanding on what my drivers were going through in keeping on top of their routes. Every driver was working 10 to 12 hours daily and came in Saturday and Sunday to run routes. Any customer with a difficult entrance or exit of their driveway should plan ahead for bad weather storms. This summer you should plan on hiring an excavator and open up your driveway and add a good base of rock so when the weather is increment the road will handle a 32,000lb delivery truck. Have an extra bottle of propane available to hook up to your line systems in case your tank runs out of gas. This way you will be able to cook, have hot water, or some form of heat in case a severe winter occurs which we just experienced!!
There were also roads in the Dallas area that were impassible. We would attempt to drive on the road but would pull back because of the snow pack and the danger involved. My service crews were working double time in keeping heating equipment in greenhouses and homes operational. Nurseryman have millions of dollars in stock in their greenhouses and cannot freeze in extremely cold weather. My service technicians did an exceptional job of taking care of each customer request. Our inside office girls were overwhelmed with phone calls with customers reporting the status of propane in their tanks. They did a fantastic job of identifying who the customer was and giving as good an answer to when a delivery would be make. As customers were calling in we found that several had removed or added appliances which determines our deliveries. So, that we can update our records please call our office to be sure to update your appliances, phone number and email.
As a company, we are going to review what happen and how we can improve our service. Any questions or suggestions about this past winter service please call John or Ryan Buller. Thank you for understanding this month of January 2017..


Hear The Word Of The Lord !
1 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
2 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
3 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
4 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
6 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
7 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
8 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools. When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
9 Open rebuke is better than secret love. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
10 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Praise be unto the Lord !

IRB Barcelona's Open Day brings together 1,500 people to raise money for cancer research.
Dani Jiménez kicked off the science outreach event, which highlighted the importance of the whole of society getting involved in the Metastasis Challenge.
The Open Day included scientific talks, guided tours, a street science fair and the first scientific escape room to be held in a laboratory.
On Saturday 11 May 2019, between 10:00 and 15:00, IRB Barcelona held its Open Day, an event that offered the public a series of workshops, talks, guided tours around the centre and a science fair. The Open Day was officially kicked off at 11:30 by science communicator Dani Jiménez, who gave a street performance called "What do you need to be a scientist". Midday marked the main event of the Metastasis Challenge, the campaign to raise €5 M in the next 4 years to for metastasis research.
This public outreach event was the first to hold an Escape Room in a laboratory—an activity that raised money using a "pay as you wish" format. The storyboard involved a researcher at IRB Barcelona being on the brink of making a big discovery about metastasis but she and her latest experiments go missing in strange circumstances.
The Open Day was compèred by Dani Jimenez and IRB Barcelona´s Fundraising Ambassador, Joan Guinovart. The event also involved the participation of three people who had raised funds scientific research at the institute: Carlos Romero, Neus Tejeda and Magdalena Socias.
Carlos Romero is the person behind the "Nedar contra corrent" (Swimming against the current) campaign, in which he swam across the Straits of Gibraltar. In his speech at the Open Day, he said that Catalonia has a population of 7.5 M people and that IRB Barcelona needs €5 M, thus highlighting that the cost of supporting the Institute's campaign "is less than €1 per person".
Neus Tejeda, from the 'Polseres Candela' Association, drew attention to the fact that this charity had raised more than €2 for research into pediatric cancer, "one of the conditions most overlooked".
Magdalena Socias, a medical doctor from Mallorca who was diagnosed with cancer in 2017, talked about her experience of her 5-day trek across the Tramuntana mountain range on the island, an initiative through which she raised more than €20,000 for cancer research at IRB Barcelona.

Another Fournier Puff Piece Makes Media Rounds
By Eddie Scarry
National Journal national reporter and formerly the publication's Editor-in-Chief Ron Fournier has found the formula for making his articles go viral: Write about his experiences with past presidents in the most sticky sweet way possible and hit publish.
As George W. Bush is on a media tour this week to promote the opening of his library at Southern Methodist University in Texas, Fournier wrote a piece Tuesday lauding the still-unpopular former president as "a good man."
"He remembered names of the spouses and children of his staff, and insisted that hard work at the White House not be an excuse to let family life suffer," Fournier wrote.
The article (a piece on "presidential humanity," as NJ called it in its daily newsletter) is as much about Fournier as it is about Bush and Bill Clinton, Bush's predecessor. One of the many self-referential anecdotes in Fournier's piece:
One steamy summer day in 1999, then-Gov. George W. Bush called me with an exclusive interview and interrupted my first question. "What's all that noise in the background, Fournier?" he asked.
"I'm at the pool with my kids, governor."
Bush replied, "Then what the hell are you doing answering your phone?"
The article earned Fournier a guest spot on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss it. It was passed around on Twitter with readers (mostly conservatives) calling it "compelling," "uplifting" and "an interesting perspective." It landed a link on Drudge, headlined, "FOURNIER: Go Ahead, Admit It: Bush Is A Good Man…" As if Fournier's name in all caps legitimizes an opinion at least half the country already holds.
Asked what makes his commentaries on Bush garner so much attention, Fournier… first directed us to a piece he wrote Friday, in which he called on the public to "pray for our president" in light of the Boston Bombings. The story began with another ultra-sensitive short story about how Bush pledged to do his job immediately after 9/11.
He later followed up. "Judging by the flood of emails and tweets, from Democrats as well as Republicans, it would seem that readers appreciate posts about the presidency that get beyond partisan fights and score keeping," he wrote FishbowlDC by email. "In this case, I tried to talk about the humanity that is often lost in presidential coverage."
Fournier continued, "As I mentioned in today's post, I am as guilty as any journalist when it comes to a bias toward conflict. I love to cover the horse race of a campaign. As a White House reporter, I wrote sharply critical stories about Presidents Bush (Katrina, Iraq and his second-term 'credibility gap'), Clinton (Lewinsky and '08 missteps) and Obama (his leadership style and legacy). That is my job. But the more I do this, the more I hope to surprise people with something different. Something distinctive. If today's post stuck out from the norm, I'm happy — and I'll try again tomorrow."
Fournier's latest column is virtually a repeat of what happened in December. Then, he wrote about how Bush and Clinton gave him a new perspective on his son who has Asperger's syndrome. At his wife's urging, Fournier went on a road trip with his son in which he met with the former presidents. That one, too, earned him a spot on "Morning Joe" and heaps of praise from journalists and others on Twitter. So much so that Fournier wrote a reaction piece about all the reaction to his story (try to get your head around that).
At the time, even reporters inside National Journal were embarrassed by Fournier's me-centric journalism upon stepping down from the Editor-in-Chief position. Since then, his reputation in certain circles has worsened. Sources familiar with Fournier, which include former employees, say he has gone over the deep end. No longer in charge, he's writing columns that play to Drudge, likely prepping himself for his next move outside of National Journal — a rumor that has been swirling for months.
Some journalists now see Fournier as a conservative columnist and not one to be taken with the seriousness he reaped before he started indirectly praising himself and pointedly sprinkling powdered sugar on former Presidents in stories. As a longtime journalist put it, "There is a danger when reporters make the stories about themselves — they just come off as self-serving." Another asked, what's with the Twitter flame wars? Does he really need to respond to every @dumbass who doesn't care for his column?

With every passing year, the nation's social security system looks increasingly shaky. Today's 20- and 30-somethings will live in a world with later retirement ages and relatively smaller social security payouts. Adding financial insult to injury, today's younger members of the workforce are unlikely to be in line for a traditional pension, which had been the cornerstone of their parents' and grandparents' retirement savings.
When viewed from all these disappointing angles, it's more important than ever for young workers to start saving for retirement as soon as possible, right?
My friend Cathy first started saving money in her 20s. She was only making around $40,000 a year, but she made it a priority to squirrel away $100 every month in her 401(k). While this was great for the brokerage firm who administered her 401(k), Cathy was actually getting poorer each month. Her biggest problem -- Cathy was still saddled with student loans and credit card debt. The credit card companies were charging her double-digit interest rates while her 401(k) could only realistically grow 6-8% per year.
Today, Cathy is unable to add to her 401(k) because the interest on her debts is eating up all of her savings. The tremendous pressure she put upon herself to start saving for retirement meant she had very little money to pay down her debt loads, and they eventually overwhelmed her. At $40,000 a year, she wasn't able to make a major push into her 401(k), anyway -- after over 10 years of saving, she has about $10,000 set aside.
Which brings us to the next financial pitfall: Cathy can't access that $10,000 without large penalties and tax bills.
Many young workers have found that they started saving early only to be hit by an unexpected roadblock, such as a lost job or a large medical bill. Invariably, they have had to pull money out of their 401(k)s to make ends meet. That's why it pays to put one to two years' worth of expenses into a savings account; you never know when you'll need that "rainy day" money.
The financial services industry has a vested interest in seeing you open a retirement account -- they're a nice source of profits for these firms. Don't let their sales pitches pressure you. Plan for the day when you will start saving for retirement, but know that getting the rest of your financial house in order should be the first priority.
Cathy will turn 35 this year, and thanks to a recent raise, she now makes around $65,000 a year. Her supervisor makes about $85,000 a year -- a salary she's looking forward to as she works her way up the corporate ladder.
But in the decade ahead, Cathy has a new game plan.
She's ranked all of her debt according to their interest rates, and now that she makes a higher annual salary, she has more money left over to start paying off the highest-interest debt first. In about five years she will have made a major dent in her total debt. On her 40th birthday she'll finally start focusing on building a solid retirement nest egg.
Since she expects to be earning closer to $85,000 by then, instead of putting away $100 a month like she did in her 20s, Cathy will be able to save about $500 a month. By the time she's 50, Cathy will have saved about $90,000 -- assuming a 6% annual return in her 401(k). By the time she hits 60, she'll have about $240,000 in the bank. That figure rises to $500,000 by the time she is 70.
This isn't to suggest that college grads should have a decade-long party. Once all debts have been paid off, you should be aggressively saving for retirement. But for many of us, that's a task made much easier as we move into our peak earning years. It's simply hard to save a meaningful amount of money when you're 25. A decade later, it should be a lot easier.


I love this cardigan. Worn over a pretty floral dress, and you have layers of fun.
A fuller skirt with a striped pattern, paired with a florally top makes for a pretty outfit.
I love wearing summery dresses into fall, which means layering them over a longer sleeved shirt for added warmth and even adding tights and boots. I think this duo is cute.
A simple floral skirt, with a simple striped t-shirt makes for an interesting outfit.

Business and economy news and issues in the Ozarks.
Springfield's Economy Good Overall, but there are Challenges, says Chamber President
KSMU | By Michele Skalicky
Published March 13, 2019 at 6:28 AM CDT
Matt Morrow is president of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, which he said represents the voice of business. The organization, with between 1500 and 1600 area businesses as members, is the head economic development organization for the region. It works with other organizations, such as city and county government, utility companies and educational institutions to help manage projects of expansion and relocation of business. About 3/4 of new jobs that are created in the area are created by businesses that are already here, he said.
The area's economy is strong, according to Morrow. Unemployment is at two percent, which is great if you're a job seeker and difficult for a business that wants to expand, Morrow said. That means Springfield must compete even harder for jobs and make a case for a growing population. The educational opportunities are a good draw for companies. But the area's growth rate is currently at one percent, which is "not as robust as those areas that are really winning a lot of projects right now," he said.
Communities have really started to focus on what they can do to attract new people, according to Morrow. "It has really changed the conversation in economic development." There's a lot of focus on place making, he said. The chamber has worked the last few years with others in the community to look at "what is the future of Springfield? What can we look like? What kinds of investments can we make today that'll make this a spectacular place for people to live and really a magnet for people to move to."
But, he said, the number one need of employers is to know that they have the skilled workforce that they need to grow. A lot of states in the south have been winning contracts by investing heavily in training, according to Morrow. He supports Governor Mike Parson's Fast Track legislation, which would provide funds for adults working toward degrees that fill a high need skills gap. And he supports Missouri One Start, which would consolidate and expand the Missouri Works program.
Morrow said wages are on the increase in Greene County. The county was the fastest-growing wage county by percentage in the country in the last quarter, according to Morrow, with a little more than a six percent wage growth year over year in that time period. One organization that increased wages was CoxHealth. The $6 million investment, he said, will help them compete for talent.

Life is amazing right now! I'm sitting on my newly decorated front porch enjoying a cool evening breeze. It's that GLORIOUS first Sunday night of summer vacation. For those of you who aren't teachers, its hard to describe the carefree feeling of knowing the weekend has come to a close yet you have no papers to grade, lessons to plan or classroom details to organize. I LOVE my job but the feeling of that first Sunday night of vacation makes me giddy!
I'm enjoying planters full of blooming color, hummingbirds fluttering around the feeder and the sound of bugs and frogs and birds as the sun sinks low in the sky. It is a perfect summer evening and I'm sitting on my glider with my computer in my lap just soaking it all in. This scripture just seems to sum it all up! He's done lots of great things for me and I'm filled to the top!
My heart just wants to scream out; thank you Lord for a job I love and a chance to rest. I'm filled with joy that you gave me this family, this town, this home, this sunset, this front porch. I don't have any big words tonight…just thank you. Mostly, I'm filled with joy and laughter at the opportunity tonight to just be still and soak it all in.

The Role of Social Media and Internet Search Engines in Information Provision and Dissemination to Patients with Kidney Stone Disease: A Systematic Review from European Association of Urologists Young Academic Urologists
A healthcare social media research article published in Journal of Endourology, July 31, 2018

Kidney stone disease (KSD) affects millions of people worldwide and has an increasing incidence. Social media (SoMe) and search engines are both gaining in usage, whilst also being used by patients to research their conditions and aid in managing them. With this in mind, many authors have expressed the belief that SoMe and search engines can be used by patients and healthcare professionals to improve treatment compliance, and to help counselling and management of conditions such as KSD. We wanted to determine whether SoMe and search engines play a role in the management and/or prevention of KSD. The databases MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus and Cochrane Library were used to search for relevant English language literature from inception to December 2017. Results were screened by title, abstract, and then full text, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was then analysed independently by the authors not involved in the original study. After initial identification of 2137 records and screening of 42 articles, 10 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The papers included focused on a variety of SoMe forms including two papers each on twitter, YouTube, smartphone apps and google search engine and one paper on google insights and google analytics. Regarding patient centered advice, while 2 papers covered advice on dietary, fluid intake and management options, two additional papers each covered advice on fluid advice and management options only, while no such advice was given by 3 of the SoMe published papers. SoMe and search engines provide valuable information to patients with kidney stone disease. However, whilst the information provided regarding dietary aspects and fluid management was good, it was not comprehensive enough to include advice on other aspects of KSD prevention.

Similar Shows to Dead to Me on Netflix
Usually after watching the first season of an amazing new Netflix series, audiences crave more. It is the easiest thing in the world to binge-watch the entire first season of an intriguing show in one day, and that's especially accurate for Netflix's new black comedy Dead to Me. It's a guaranteed treat for Netflix viewers, and after watching the first episode, you will make it through the season in the blink of an eye. Good thing for you, while you are awaiting the much anticipated second season, you could catch some other similar Netflix shows sure to get you in the right mood.
To briefly recap, Dead to Me is a black comedy about Jen, who's husband has just died. After joining a support group for the bereaved, Jen meets Judy, and the two quickly become friends. However, many untold secrets unravel throughout the season that threaten their friendship, including the fact that Jen may have been the person responsible for the death of Judy's husband.
While that's captivating enough for you to wait for the new season to make it's way into your living room or laptop, be sure to catch one of these other binge-worthy shows.
Dirty John is a gripping crime drama based on actual events, and had originally been told through a podcast. The show is about a woman named Debra, who is looking for love. When Debra comes upon John, she is sure she has found the perfect match. Her daughters are untrusting towards John, and as the story progress, we find out that there is more to John then he is putting on.
Dirty John is an intense, edge-of-your-seat story that you need to watch immediately.
You is the latest thriller that has taken Netflix by storm. This is a very demented show, but is so well written that you will get fully absorbed in the drama that ensues. The story is about a man named Joe, who develops an obsession for a woman named Beck. Joe tries to create a situation where it seems like they've met naturally, and soon accomplishes that task. However, other hurdles stand in his way of making Beck his lifelong companion, but Joe is determined to transcend all of them. And will do absolutely whatever it takes.
The End Of The F***ing World received a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's safe to assume that this is one good show. The series is is a black comedy about two teenagers named Alyssa and James. The story follows them as they embark on a journey to find Alyssa's father, whom she does not know and has not been in her life. It later turns out that James is not actually Alyssa's friend, and wants to murder her. It is a fantastic story with great dialogue. It will leave you breathless at times, and always guessing what happens next. Season 2 has also been confirmed, so you'll have extra shows to binge after as well.
13 Reasons Why is a drama that is very similar to Dead to Me, and raises lots of controversy. The story is about a girl named Hannah Baker, who commits suicide, but not before filming the event and sending it to people she knows, in an attempt to show how she actually accomplished the task. There are two seasons already completed, and the third one is currently being filmed, soon to be released on Netflix.
After Life is a comedy drama that is also similar to Dead to Me, as the story-line also revolves around death. It's a show about Joe, who had a perfect life until his wife died. At first he contemplates suicide, but instead decides to start living the life he always dreamed of. While living for himself, he no longer becomes the nice guy everyone is used to, and his friends and family do not recognize the new person he has become.

We have to trust staff on this.
You know me. I hate to nit-pick. It's too much like work. Stiiiillll … I also love to say "I told you so." This LAFCo Sphere of Influence thing offers a hell of an opportunity for me to be in that rare position of being the only one in class who did the homework.
Yes, I did the homework. Let me explain with the breadth and clarity that only I bring to such a complicated issue.
Most people in San Francisco think that PG&E has been ripping off the public. Many thousands of the city's voters signed petitions last year to put a measure on the November ballot which would allow the city to form its own power agency. It did not get to the ballot because the present city attorney threw up a series of roadblocks to make certain it did not get there.
The last Board of Supervisors thought this was hella cool. The voters smoked that board. Now we have a new board and there are two public power measures on the ballot next month! Given the fact that PG&E had sunk to the depths of bankruptcy you'd think the chances of the city finally fielding their own public power crew were greatly improved.
You see, while PG&E may have lost the retirement nest eggs of countless oldsters (including their own workers), the courts decided to keep its pockets full. The firm was given $17 million in bonus money for the senior staff. Bonuses for failing!! Damn, I could be big in that organization.
And they're allowed to spend millions more to do TV ads and mailers and door hangers & lobbyists & … and … now, don't quote me on this, but I think they may have bought a meal & a drink for a journalist or two along the way.
Last year PG&E's lawyers made certain you didn't get to vote for public power. This year, before you even get to vote, they are trying to make certain that no matter how you vote, they'll maintain control. They're looking for any reason to sue. A misplaced comma. A document filed late.
That last one is the one I'm talking about today.
When PG&E kept public power off the ballot last year, they used the excuse that the voters couldn't vote (although tens of thousands said they wanted to) … couldn't vote until a duly constituted Local Agency Formation Commission had been created. So it was, and then the LAFCo had to jump through lots of fiery hoops (held by PG&E lawyers).
Miss a hoop & PG&E kept power. Even if LAFCo made all the right moves, lawsuits were a certainty. PG&E's lawyers kept Sacramento Public Power in court for 25 years! The San Francisco LAFCO (chaired by city attorney candidate Neil Eisenberg) is in the fiery hoop stages right now, and it ain't pretty.
What is a Sphere of Influence Study? It's kind of like the history of the world only longer. And, of course, more complicated.
Eisenberg chose an ex-PG&E engineer named E.J. Simpson to do the study. He chose Simpson despite the fact that LAFCo Director Gloria Young recommended another firm of consultants. They gave Simpson just over six weeks to do the analysis. Young insisted that Simpson give her progress reports at two-week intervals.
Simpson's first report came on September 10.
That was some week. While we were grieving, the Planning Commission met and approved a 22-story skyscraper for old folks despite the objections of the site's neighbors. The governor took time out from his grief to ram through some late-night legislation allowing his contributors to sell personal information about you without your consent. And Gloria Young fired E.J. Simpson.
I like Ms. Young. I'm glad she got the LAFCo director's job. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why she sent Simpson packing. Particularly since her move almost certainly made it impossible for LAFCo to have a completed study by October 10. She didn't try and guide his work. She flat told him to stop his work. They were smiling big smiles at PG&E.
I asked Director Young if the city attorney's office had advised her to fire Simpson & she said it was her own recommendation.
She announced her decision on Friday the 14th but accepted more work from Simpson on that date. She said it still wasn't good enough. I read both drafts of Simpson's work as well as the 3rd draft he turned into LAFCo the next week & they were just fine, thank you. When I talked to Director Young for this piece, she said she had not read the 3rd draft.
Eisenberg & Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, sitting as a LAFCo subcommittee, talked about a peer review to save Simpson's reputation if not public power here. We'll see where that goes.
I have some questions that were never answered to my satisfaction.
The report's 3rd draft is more than adequate to meet the "Description of Services … to be provided by contractor" (Simpson). Still, no one will read the damned thing. Warren Hinckle has written two PG&E-slanted columns in the Examiner without reading ANY of the material.
Director Young billed LAFCo for 20 hours of work by the city attorney during September. Work for what? Was LAFCo's worst enemy at it again? Young said in a memo to the Finance Committee on September 17 that she was "in the process of contracting for outside legal counsel." BUT she fired Simpson On September 14! When I pointed out this inconsistency, Ms. Young said that "outside" counsel Don Maynor gave her his opinion that it was "within her power" to fire Simpson. When? Her own memo of the 17th suggests he wasn't yet working for LAFCo.
Last but not least, on September 18 Director Young sent a memo to LAFCo subcommittee members Eisenberg & McGoldrick informing them of her reasons for firing Simpson. Hey, Matt Gonzalez is also on that subcommittee, and he wasn't listed as an addressee. Given Eisenberg's obvious capitulation, Gonzalez is the one supervisor I would expect to try and keep the Sphere of Influence Study and MUD on track. When I noted this, Ms. Young insisted that every member of the commission had seen her reasons for firing Simpson. A call to Gonzalez was not returned.

Stress and the Validity of Parent Report Measures
Katharine FabroFollow
Data collected from self-report measures can be problematic as participants may misunderstand questions, misremember information, or misrepresent themselves when answering questions. Bias in self-report data is particularly concerning for parents of children with DD, as these measures are often used as part of diagnostic decisions and service allocations. Parents of children with DD typically experience higher levels of stress than parents of typically developing children. Stress has been shown to decrease cognitive functioning and bias parent perceptions, making it more likely that parents will inaccurately respond to self-report measures inquiring about their own parenting behaviors and their child's maladaptive behaviors. Data from the MAPS project were used to determine if parents who report higher stress are less accurate reporters on their own parenting behaviors and their child's maladaptive behaviors. The parents and children in this project primarily identified as Hispanic (49.2% and 47.6%, respectively). Most of the children were male (69.4%) and 53.2% of our participants had a yearly household income of less than $50,000. Parents completed measures of stress, parenting, and child behaviors, and then completed recorded interaction tasks which were coded for child and parent behaviors. Stress was used as a predictor of the discrepancy between the observational codes and parent reports of these behaviors. It was hypothesized that parents high in stress will be less accurate reporters than parents low in stress. Contrary to our predictions, stress did not significantly predict accuracy of parent reports of child behavior or parenting behavior (p > .05). Possible explanations include the sample's large variation in scores on the independent variable, poor reliability of parent report measures, and the large number of analyses run, which could have affected power. Another explanation could be that, as parents of children with DD must regularly report on their children's behavior, they have become more accurate, as research suggests that repeated reporting on the same measure increases reporter accuracy. Better understanding of reporter bias can allow providers to better utilize parent report data when making decisions around diagnoses and referrals, as well as potentially informing interventions or strategies to gather more accurate data from parents.

VRChat Adds New Full-Length COOP Horror Campaign, The Devouring
What could be more enjoyable than a horror experience shared with the pals? Probably shared horror experience with the pals in virtual reality. Indie developers The 4 Ponies released their upcoming VRChat expansion, The Devouring. As with the countless community created worlds, The Devouring is a free expansion for the game.
VRChat is probably best known for the ~2017 iteration of the "Ugandan Knuckles" meme. But the potential for great horror is almost as powerful as the silly. VRChat is a new kind of social media, where participants can create and upload their own custom avatar and mingle with other players (usually with Naruto or fursona avatars). But recently, there's been an emphasis on game modes as well. That's where The Devouring comes in.
The Devouring takes place during a road trip, one that is cut short by a crash. You and however many people who are joining you wake up in a strange mansion, one full of all manner of ghosties and ghoulies. Presumably. There's not much information about the campaign, just yet. Only that it's around six hours long and is supposedly jumpscare free.
The Devouring is available now, though you will need VRChat to play (not necessarily a VR headset though, if I understand correctly). You can pick that up on Steam by clicking here. And to try out The Devouring, you can search for it in-game or click here.

Landmarks around the world turned blue for Human Rights Day
By Imogen Dewey| 3 years ago
From the Sydney Opera House to the Great Wall of China
Sunday December 10 was Human Rights Day – 69 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed. Landmarks around the world lit up to mark the occasion.
Buildings illuminated the sky with a vivid blue on behalf of international non-profit NGO Human Rights Watch, to celebrate the values all human rights advocates fight for: "human dignity, nondiscrimination and justice for all".
For tips and tricks on making it through to the end of the year in one piece, listen to the latest episode of 9Honey's hit podcast series Life Bites:
Sydney-siders may have seen the sails of the Sydney Opera House transform last night.
But there was plenty happening in other time zones too.
The Empire State Building in New York:
The flight tower at Toronto Airport:
And in the heart of town, at the CN Tower:
At St Paul's Church in Frankfurt:
From important public figures to regular old social media users, many used the day to stress the urgency of these values in the present moment.
"Let's come together to build a world where everyone – no matter their identity, beliefs, or circumstances – is born free and equal in dignity and rights," wrote Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter.
"On #HumanRightsDay, and every day."

Women's equality champion Malala Yousafazi posted a picture of herself at the home of Holocaust victim and writer Anne Frank.
"The words Anne Frank wrote in this room still remind us to cherish and defend human rights," she wrote.
"Today, I am thinking of Palestinian and Rohingya children- and all around the world still struggling to achieve Anne's dream of freedom."
Image: Twitter/@Malala
2017 has been a strange and difficult year, with its fair share of both triumphs (like the passing of the same-sex marriage bill) and losses (just look at the ongoing struggle on Manus Island).
But moments like Human Rights Day are a good reminder: there are so many people working to make things better.

Property News: 12 edibles to plant this spring - domain.com.au


When it comes to feeding your family dinner, sometimes it's easiest to roll through the drive-thru for hamburgers or a $5 pizza. But by taking a little time to plan your meals in advance, you can save your family money, provide healthier meals, and eliminate the 5 o'clock "What's For Dinner?" dilemma that parents frequently face. You might be surprised to know that there's no one-size-fits-all menu-planning system. Your best bet is to try different methods until you find one that works well for your family. Here are four to get you started.
Laura Whittman, host of the popular blog carnival, Menu Plan Monday, believes that there are a lot of benefits to planning meals week by week. Before starting menu-planning, Whittman admits that most of her meals came from the freezer section of the grocery store. Now, she's reduced her weekly grocery budget by taking some time on Sunday to plan out her week's meals. You can save a lot of money, too, if you plan around the grocery sales. If chicken breasts are on sale, take advantage of the savings by putting chicken fajitas and a chicken casserole on your week's menu. Planning meals one week at a time also works well for planning around your calendar. Have a busy errand day on the schedule for Tuesday? Plan a crockpot meal so that you can come home to a hot dinner waiting for you. Need something to grab and go on Thursday evening before soccer practice? Plan for sandwiches, chips, and fruit. With a little practice, your weekly meal-planning will take less than an hour out of your week.
If you need a system for being prepared for dinner but don't want to be nailed down to a day-by-day menu plan, consider making a list of your family's 30 favorite meals. If you also make a permanent shopping list of the ingredients you need for all 30 meals, you can focus on keeping your pantry stocked so that you're always ready to prepare any one of the meals your family is sure to eat. Whenever an ingredient starts running low or you notice it on sale at the store, mark it on your master grocery list and pick it up the next time you're shopping. The beauty of the 30-Meal List is that you're always prepared for any of your family's favorites with the flexibility of picking whatever fits your schedule or mood that day.
When Brenda Holland's children were young, she didn't want to spend time cooking every evening. An organized mom of three, she took one day a month to shop, and one day to cook all of her month's meals. With a freezer full of ready-made meals, the biggest decision Holland had to make each day was whether to pull out Ravioli Soup or Green Chili Enchiladas to defrost. Freezer meals also come in handy when you want to take dinner to a friend who's sick or just had a baby. For a crash course in cooking for a month, check out the classic book, Once a Month Cooking, by Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg.
Many moms enjoy the convenience of an online menu-planning service which, for a low-cost monthly subscription, sends you a weekly menu plan and shopping list. Ashley Lynn, a mom of three and subscriber to Fresh 20 used to be tempted to eat out on weeknights because she couldn't get out of her same-five-meal cooking rut. Now, with new recipes in her inbox each week, she's pleasantly surprised at how little time it takes to prepare meals at home. "I shop on Saturday, chop for about 45 minutes on Sunday, and then never spend more than 20 or 30 minutes cooking any evening," Lynn says. It might sound dramatic, but Whittman says that menu-planning has changed her life. "I no longer have to stand at the fridge at 4:00 every afternoon, while children melt down around me, wondering what in the world I'm going to cook for supper," she says. With these four methods of menu-planning in your toolbox, you're well on your way to less stressful mealtimes. And if anyone in your house asks "What's for dinner?" you'll have it covered.

For the Realists
During the nineteenth century, coal and its no longer latent powers began mattering to art and literature. Having been perceived and depicted, they now demanded equal but different rank with the divine. To realize Anna Karenina's feelings during her night passage on the Moscow-St. Petersburg express was the same problem for Tolstoy that it would have been for Homer, but it was only Homer's routes that traversed a universe conceivable as a surface hiding no secrets and revealing all there was to reveal. Against that, the moment at the end of Anna's emptied book when a disconnected fuel tender came rolling by itself down its track (VIII.5) was a revelation of movement without a discoverable origin in intent or terminus in meaning. It may have been that that extorted the last tears from Vronsky. His voyage of discovery had ended without conclusion, in smoky midair.
See how you yourself now perceive this silhouette of eleven womanless men and a danger sign. Inside their collective image, smoke from a waiting parovoz ascends to darken the cloudscape, and that seems to be all the meaning there is. Certainly no one within the artwork's dark margins is reading the sign's words.
"Track elevating at road crossing, Joliet, Ill.," between 1900 and 1905. Detroit Publishing Company Collection, Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/det/item/2016795685/. Post-processed for contrast and detail. Replaces a 2014 restoration, which has now been deleted from the blog.
Signed at under such circumstances, lesser realists such as William Dean Howells and Jacob Riis reacted by filling their non-fictions and their fictions alike with brand names and street addresses, recorded with due accuracy. The intent seemed to have been to force signifiers like the railroadmen's unread X to give up a meaning. In time, James Joyce came to understand that a record's significance lies in its words, only. The data of its ostensible content are a pre-text, and that is enough. But the image you have just seen in parallel with Tolstoy's words is a wordlessness. Its primary signifier is not a history like Tolstoy's or Joyce's but a chemistry and a meteorology, and its record is only one of the smudges that coal in the nineteenth century left in the air.

Record, encarmined
You may be able to see that the state of this image in the Library of Congress is a photographic print mounted on a paper backing, with the library's acquisition stamp overlapping both sheets.
Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/99401043/
But you also do see that the composite photograph has lost definition and contrast. On the record, it has been going lost. With the aid of a computer, sight can begin bringing it home again to history and making the record's words as readable again as they were when they flowed from the pen of A. P. Yates in 1893. Over the image, however, a gray new computerized disfigurement has settled in and begun blemishing what you see of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad's engine no. 999, claimed to be the first vehicle in history to have reached a speed of 100 miles an hour.
In the library, a history of photography can help you understand what happened. In the 1890s, when negatives were large, photographers often retouched them with carmine paste. Painted over dark areas of the negative, this lightened the corresponding area of the print. Perhaps because May 10, 1893 was a cloudy day in Syracuse, or perhaps because the smoke from no. 999 was billowing too abundantly into the air, A. P. Yates encarmined a zone in front of and above no. 999's boiler. On the print, that would have whitened the sky. But Mr. Yates didn't want to risk whiting out any of no. 999's beautiful metal, and so some of the original crud of 1893 remains in his artwork as a dark, angular halo.
With a computer under my hands, however, I can become Mr. Yates's 21st-century continuator. Using a process that Photoshop calls cloning, I paint more carmine over the dark original of May 10, 1893.
And see: I have replaced the last trace of history in the image with the truth of art.
Think of me as a Venetian barber in a time of cholera, doing a little cosmetic work on Gustav von Aschenbach to make him attractive to the teenage punk who happens to be the god of history.

Picturing postcard
Once, in the age of steam, perspective moved through space like an engine and generated a postcard. In there, along a diagonal, it erected a high-sided chute and spilled into it some Italians whose arms and legs were movable in promenade gait. Per design, one of them also functioned to create an additional sense of motion in haste: his blazer buttoned backward, his flyaway hat just recaptured, his feet at trot, his pants rippling. Swinging and pivoting along minor axes, he serves the postcard in the capacity of a small extra part, jiggling. To be so close to this detail that you see what the machinery is doing to it is to receive the postcard's communication that a man once lived a moment in the wonder of the present tense.
In the present tense, emitting sounds of small talk and chugging steam, the machine that is the mailship König Albert comes toward you, then moves past on your left. Where it was for a moment, the horizontals of the composition's right side slide left and refill the postcard with vacancy. A moment after a shutter closed at some time between 1899 and 1914, the sentence in the present tense was over and König Albert passed into what is not yet and never again will be picture.
Source: Library of Congress, http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002720829/. Photoshopped. According to Wikipedia, König Albert was in service for North German Lloyd between 1899 and 1914, after 1902 primarily on routes between Italy and the United States.

This memorandum about Bostonian style is copyrighted 1904, but in its right half it advertises some plays that opened in Boston in the fall of 1903: Lady Rose's Daughter in November, The Earl of Pawtucket and A Hot Old Time in October. Elsewhere in the image are more equivocations. In the elevated train rolling through the Dudley Street station the motorman's window is open but the passenger windows are shut, and at every point within the composition's frame the sunny air is full of winter smoke. See how it is hazing over the sign atop Ferdinand's Blue Store. You conclude these observations by making a weather report to yourself: Indian summer.
But every human image is reported in Indian Summer Time. If we could hear the words in the mouths of the pictured dead, the communication would consist only of gossip about that light-filled pause in the oncoming darkness. Its words would efface themselves as they reiterated their gossipy promise: "I must be going."
But the words in the mouths of the dead – say, the dead half-lighted in this image: the group of women with a little girl in a big sailor hat, the man standing by himself down below – are not to be heard, even by the dead themselves. On Dudley Street in 1903, the dead were surrounded by walls covered with words addressed to them, but the instant those words became part of a photograph they became part of a foreign language: a language comprehensible only outside the image frame. On a low wall in a corner of the domain of the dead, its imaged advertisement for photographic supplies and processing is still decipherable, but it is no longer readable because to read is to enact a coming to life of meaning in a living mind. Because its text is addressed only to the dead, the photographic advertisement can no longer be anything but a photograph. We can't read it; we can only see it. We are not yet in the picture. While Indian summer lasts, we are too alive.
You pick up the photograph and warm it in your hand. It depicts a noisy flock of electric railcars ringing and grinding their ways along steel. It is a historical proof of deducible noise, but it communicates that idea ("Noise! If you can't hear it, feel it through your fingertips!") only to the insensate dead. The Indian summer that it records has sunken fully into its no longer photosensitive surface. Its silvered paper integument has become the weatherproofed chronicle of a now silent season.

Contrary to many non-medical beliefs, chronic conditions of the sinus (and airway at large) are rarely infective in nature. Simple bacterial infection rarely causes chronic sinus and lung problems. Chronic inflammation (like we see in psoriasis or dermatitis of the skin) is usually linked to chronic sinus problems and produces the obstruction, mucus, pressure and loss of smell that many patients with chronic sinus disease describe. One of the hallmarks of a chronic 'inflammatory' sinus condition is that the inflammation seen on a CT scan is NOT limited to one sinus but spread in a patchy or diffuse pattern across the sinuses.
When this chronic inflammation persists, two processes begin; mucus doesn't clear from the sinuses and bacteria cause a secondary infection which is entirely opportunistic. Secondly, the inflamed mucosa becomes thickened and creates a polypoid like appearance. These 'nasal polyps' are not growths like tumours of polyps found in the gut/colon but simply areas of mucosa that have become thickened and chunky with inflammatory cells and fluid.
Chronic rhiniosinusits is managed successfully in about 40-50% of patients with medical therapy alone as one-off treatment, about 20-30% of patients are able to suppress their symptoms well with medical therapy alone and can simply take short courses of oral medicine 2-3 times a year to control inflammation or and secondary infections. The remaining 20-30% have very active disease or dysfunctional sinuses and surgery is applied to reshape the sinus cavity from a honeycombe of multiple small interconnected cells into one simple single neo-sinus cavity. This allows for easy washout of mucus with nasal irrigations and delivery of topical therapy to the sinus cavity. All the 'walls' to the sinuses and critical structures are preserved but the internal compartments are made into one.

Interview details Interviewed by C. Randall Bradley on April 2, 2011, in Waco, Texas.
Description, sound recordings digital audio file; 1.08 hr.
Summary Gloria Gaither (b. 1942) was a Christian songwriter and author who grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan; developing public speaking skills at a young age; watching her parents act the same at church and at home; writing music with her husband Bill; wanting to break down denominational walls in the church; opinion that keeping the gospel simple does not mean making it any less true or profound; learning from every era of gospel music; viewing God as a "paradox"; the importance of creating good art; seeing a need for a songwriting major at a Christian college; earning her master's degree with her daughter; seeing God in areas of learning; writing songs that may or may not last beyond an era.
