Review of the Department of Energy's National Energy Software Center
IMTEC-88-2: Published: Oct 14, 1987. Publicly Released: Oct 22, 1987.
In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the activities of the Department of Energy's National Energy Software Center, particularly its handling of computer software requests by foreign countries and domestic users.
GAO found that: (1) during an 18-month period, the center filled 69 domestic and 10 foreign requests for software; (2) general mathematics, computing systems, and scientific data management systems were the programs most frequently requested; and (3) the center ships only programs designated for unlimited use to foreign countries. GAO also found that the center: (1) prohibits the redistribution of its programs to other users and does not believe that users violate its stipulations; (2) encourages contractors to copyright their programs to prevent unauthorized upgrading and commercialization; (3) classifies its programs according to sensitivity and subject matter; and (4) shipped five programs on software development, engineering, and chemical engineering to Italy in an 18-month period.

Muddling the Tradition
Charles Hamilton | From the July 1980 issue
The American as Anarchist: Reflections on Indigenous Radicalism, by David DeLeon, Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1978, 242 pp., $14.
David DeLeon's book is not a history of American anarchism, but rather an interpretive essay on the strong but more amorphous thread of anti-authoritarianism that runs through American history and American radicalism. This is a massive task, and I can think of no single book that does take on "the long neglected and fallow field of American radicalism," as Albert J. Nock expressed it. The anticipation of reading such a book must fill libertarians with excitement. For there is a wonderful, though little-known, libertarian heritage that is ours.
It is quite a disappointment, then, to find that this book is self-important and confusing. It is a jungle of facts connected by capricious categories and definitions. By the time we have reached the last page, we have learned very little about anarchist history, the anarchistic impulses in American history, or the nature of American radicalism.
The organization of the book is sensible enough. The first part discusses three elements of our social environment that have nourished our liberatory urges: religion, the frontier, and capitalism. From this general framework, the second part of the book deals with some of the political expressions of this desire for freedom. There are chapters on liberalism, right libertarianism, and left libertarianism and one chapter on their opposite—statist, or authoritarian radicalism. Finally, the last section discusses the revival of the anarchistic sensibility during the 1960s and '70s and some of DeLeon's own ideas for an expanded and more relevant libertarian radicalism.
All this is done in approximately 140 pages of text, so we have to expect brevity, generalization, and abstraction. Unfortunately, in the process, most of the life is squeezed out of history, and people and ideas are placed in uncomfortable procrustean beds.
A sense of the problems that pervade this book can be appreciated by looking at several examples. In his discussion of the influences on American anti-authoritarianism, for instance, DeLeon rightly observes that "capitalism was a vital, progressive force when it cracked the structures of feudalism, allowing the emergence of a society of choice, a society of constant change." From there on the discussion of capitalism is confused. DeLeon's definition of capitalism is misleading, based as it is on ownership "by small numbers of people" (this sounds more like feudalism) and concepts like surplus value. He fails to distinguish between capitalism and state capitalism or to discuss the historical development of both tendencies. There is virtually no discussion of the sophisticated and liberating functions of the market and private property, while capitalism is summarily blamed for fostering "narcissism," "self-denigration," and "bondage to the individualism of consumption."
Why are religion, the frontier, and capitalism the formative influences, anyway? Admittedly, one cannot mention everything, but the case and context for these specific influences is not made. What about the crucial role that ideas have played in the development of our anarchistic sensibility?
After reading the first section of the book, one wonders how it was that statism ever arose and why we are not now living instead in total and joyous freedom. There is no appreciation of the rise of statism or of the elements of authoritarianism and obedience to authority that are also parts of our societal development.
The use of the terms left and right libertarianism perpetuates useless and misleading categories. There is an important methodological error here. People and ideas should be discussed in relation to their own time and place, not forced into contemporary molds. Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Benjamin Tucker, Albert J. Nock, Randolph Bourne, and Henry George—all libertarians—would be properly appalled to be called right-wing, as DeLeon does.
It is to DeLeon's credit that he acknowledges the existence and importance of individualistic and free-market traditions in American radicalism. But if one is going to simplistically package history in political phrases, then one should either use the usual definitions or define one's terms precisely. DeLeon does neither. What libertarian, of any persuasion, would include, as DeLeon does, workers' control and trust-busting as examples of right libertarianism, or John D. Rockefeller II and George Wallace as right libertarians?
Let me mention one last problem. DeLeon takes pains to distinguish between "indigenous radicalism" and "imitators of foreign radicalism." He wants to ignore the second because they are usually authoritarian and alien to our historical and cultural traditions. The truth of this distinction is quickly overshadowed, though.
One gets the sense from this book that American radicalism grew virgin from American soil. One looks in vain for the incredible heritage of liberty that came to this continent from, for instance, the Levellers, British radicals and old liberals, Enlightenment thinkers, free-market writers, and European anarchists. Some of their ideas represent the grounding of our libertarian heritage, while others have obviously been ignored or forgotten. Other aspects of this foreign influx of ideas have been either irrelevant to the American scene or baldly authoritarian. But without embracing this rich influence and analyzing it, any discussion of our tradition of anti-authoritarianism is misleading.
Yet, ironically, DeLeon's own ideas for infusing with new life this wonderful and culturally grounded American anarchistic sensibility is to import the lessons of the Paris Commune, the Spanish Civil War, and the Russian Revolution, together with the ideas of Pannekoek, Oscar Lange, and Andre Gorz. Those lessons may very well be able to enrich our view of liberty, but one cannot help but be skeptical about a book that, having consistently ignored foreign influences, brings them in without context in the last three pages.
One could go on, of course, about the problems with the chapter on liberalism, about how the old right is not discussed, or about how DeLeon's vision of a contemporary "anarcholibertarianism" looks like the old Socialist Labor Party program. In any case, this book has tried to provide a "general theory of American radicalism" that recognizes and firmly establishes its strong libertarian underpinnings, but in its stead we find confusion and little insight.
There is an inspiring and clear tradition of anarchist and libertarian impulses and thoughts in our history. But as Norman Birenbaum has written in another context, "The United States, insofar as major aspects of its past are concerned, remains an unknown country.…We are at the beginning of a voyage of self-discovery that may yet revise some of our notions of our social provenance." Unfortunately, DeLeon's book is of little help in this adventure.

Q: Array Classes - Get Largest and Smallest Value I am really stuck on WHERE ON EARTH to go for this problem.
If someone can push me into the right direction. I would be deeply grateful
The following is my code
Grader.h
#ifndef GRADER_H
#define GRADER_H
#define MAXSIZE 100
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

class Grader {

public:
Grader( );

void addScore( int score );
void addScores( int scores[], int size );
void clear();

int findBiggest( ) const;
int findSmallest( ) const;

private:
int my_Values[ MAXSIZE ];
int my_ValuesSeenSoFar;

};
#endif

Grader.cpp
#include <iostream>
#define MAXSIZE 100
#include "Grader.h"

Grader::Grader( ){
my_Values [MAXSIZE] = 0;
my_ValuesSeenSoFar = 0;
}

void Grader::addScore( int score ){
    my_Values[MAXSIZE] = score;
}
void Grader::addScores( int scores[], int size ){
    my_Values[MAXSIZE] = scores[size];
}
void Grader::clear(){
    my_Values[0];
}

int Grader::findBiggest() const{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < MAXSIZE; i++)
    return my_Values[i];
}
int Grader::findSmallest( ) const{
}

Driver.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Grader.h"
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
Grader g;
double d[5]= {99,70,85,93,84};
double e[4]= {100,81,60,91};

g.addScore( 75 );
g.addScore( 82);
g.addScores( d, 5 );

cout << "Best Score = " << g.findBiggest( ) << endl;
/// should give value 99
cout << "Worst Score = " << g.findSmallest( ) << endl;
/// should give value 70
g.clear( );

g.addScore( 50 );
g.addScore( 74 );
g.addScores( e, 4 );

cout << "Best Score = " << g.findBiggest( ) << endl;
/// should give value 100
cout << "Worst Score = " << g.findSmallest( ) << endl;
/// should give value 50
}

I am having trouble figuring out
a) How exactly to implement the addScore/addScores
and
b) how to call those scores into the findBiggest and findSmallest.

A: You have many problems with your code:

*

*Like I mentioned in a comment, my_Values [MAXSIZE] = 0; in the constructor writes one beyond the max index of the array.

*You also do this in other places. You can't use MAXSIZE as index, since index goes from 0 to MAXSIZE - 1.

*You can't add an array to another array like you do in addScores.

Using the facilities provided by the standard library (see here for a good reference site) will really help you now and in the future.

In the future, whenever you think about a dynamic array of any kind, you should be thinking about std::vector.
For example, adding a value to a vector is as simple as
std::vector<int> vector;

vector.push_back(123);

To insert an old-style array, like you want to do in your addScores function, you can use std::copy together with std::back_inserter:
std::copy(array, array + size, std::back_inserter(vector));

To keep the vector sorted, use the std::sort standard function:
std::sort(std::begin(vector), std::end(vector));

A: Here's the problem:
void Grader::addScore( int score ){
    my_Values[MAXSIZE] = score; <---
}

You're always adding on your MAXSIZE-th element (which isn't wise). You need to do something like:
void Grader::addScore( int score ){
    my_Values[myValuesSoFar++] = score;
}

As for biggest and smallest, you could use qsort on addScore() and addScores(). This way your smallest element will be on my_values[0] and the biggest on my_values[myValuesSoFar-1].
Also, there are a tons of problems with your code (just take a look at ::clear()). I recommend this article on working with arrays, or try std::vector

A: a/ How about having an instance variable which indicates the current index of the array. increment it by n when you add n element, decrement it by n when you remove n elements.
b/ Two options:
   i. Each time this is called, iterate through all elements and get the min/max. OK if max array size not too big.
   ii. Each time a value is added or removed, iterate over all elements and set global variables min/max which you can then return on calls to findSmallest() and findBiggest()

A: I feel grader.cpp should look like this. for finding max and min without sorting
#include <iostream>
#define MAXSIZE 100
#include "Grader.h"

Grader::Grader( ){
my_Values [MAXSIZE] = 0;
my_ValuesSeenSoFar = 0;
}

void Grader::addScore( int score ){
if( my_ValuesSeenSoFar < MAX_SIZE)
    my_Values[my_ValuesSeenSoFar++] = score;
}
void Grader::addScores( int scores[], int size ){
    for(int i=0; (i < size) && (my_ValuesSeenSoFar < MAX_SIZE) ; i++)
        my_Values[my_ValuesSeenSoFar++] = scores[i];
}
void Grader::clear(){
    for(int i=0;  i < MAX_SIZE ; i++)
        my_Values[i] = 0;

}

int Grader::findBiggest() const{

   int max = my_Values[0];
   for(int i=1 i < my_ValuesSeenSoFar ; i++)
   {
        if( my_Values[i] > max)
            max = my_Values[i];
   }
   return max;
}
int Grader::findSmallest( ) const{
    int min = my_Values[0];
    for(int i=1 i < my_ValuesSeenSoFar ; i++)
    {
        if( my_Values[i] < min )
            min = my_Values[i];
    }
    return min;
}

A: You need a variable that show how many elements are in my_Values. Suppose
    private:
    int my_Values[ MAXSIZE ];
    int my_ValuesSeenSoFar;
    int my_size;

Grader::Grader( ){
my_Values [MAXSIZE] = 0; //here you put 0 out of array (to array.size+1 place). delete it

my_ValuesSeenSoFar = 0;
my_size = 0;
}

void Grader::addScore( int score ){
if (my_size < MAXSIZE )
   my_Values[my_size] = score;  //put new element on next place
   ++my_size;
else
   std::cout<<"No more place in array";
}
void Grader::addScores( int scores[], int size ){
int i =0;
while (my_size < MAXSIZE && i<size)
{
    my_Values[my_size] = scores[i];
    ++my_size;
     ++i;
}
if (my_size == MAXSIZE && i==size)
    std::cout<<"no more place in array";
}

int Grader::findBiggest() const{
    int i;
    int max=my_Values[0];
    for (i = 0; i < my_size; i++)  //finding max element in array
    {
       if(my_Values[i]>max)
          max = my_Values[i];
    }
    return max;
}
int Grader::findSmallest( ) const{
    int i;
    int min=my_Values[0];
    for (i = 0; i < my_size; i++)  //finding min element in array
    {
       if(my_Values[i]<min)
          min = my_Values[i];
    }
    return min;

}
Something like that if i got question right.

A: To answer your exact question, you can use std::minmax_element (in C++11) to get the largest and smallest value of an array:
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    double d[] = { 99, 70, 85, 93, 84 };

    auto result = std::minmax_element( std::begin( d ), std::end( d ) );
    std::cout << "minimum: " << *(result.first) << "\n"
              << "maximum: " << *(result.second) << "\n";
}

This prints:
minimum: 70
maximum: 99

A: For reference, here's a complete implementation:
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>

class Grader {
  std::vector<int> scores_;

public:
  void addScore(int score) {
    scores_.push_back(score);
  }

  void addScores(int *scores, int nscores) {
    std::copy(scores, scores + nscores,
              std::back_inserter(scores_));
  }

  void clear() { scores_.clear(); }

  int findBiggest() const {
    if (scores_.empty()) return -1; // handle this error somehow
    return *std::max_element(scores_.begin(),
                             scores_.end());
  }

  int findSmallest() const {
    if (scores_.empty()) return -1; // handle this error somehow
    return *std::min_element(scores_.begin(),
                             scores_.end());
  }
};

Note that I didn't sort the scores in findBiggest or findBiggest, since they're declared const.

Raion No Su in Second Life
Posted on August 16, 2022 January 1, 2023 by Inara Pey
Raion No Su, August 2022 – click any image for full size
Valarie (Zalindah) recently invited me to visit the current iteration of Raion No Su, a homestead region design she has produced alongside of the Knick Knacks store, owned and operated by Natacha Haroldsen.
I've covered a number of Valerie's region designs in this blog and I've always enjoyed the fusion of Asian, oriental and fantasy she brings to her designs – and Raion No Su is no exception. However, rather than having a specific theme to this build, Zalindah has brought together a setting of separate and yet conjoined vignettes, each featuring a certain animal motif.
Raion No Su, August 2022
The Knick Knacks store sits tucked into the south-east corner of the region, along with the main landing point. Occupying stepped ruins, the store fits in with the overall styling of the region, and is separated from Raion No Su by a long over-the-water boardwalk running westwards to a chain-like spread of land that almost breaks into a series of islands. This sensibly allows the store and the rest of the region to remain apart so that tourists don't get in the way of shoppers and vice-versa.
The end of the boardwalk comes in two parts: a short walk to a Japanese-style gazebo also sitting over the water, and the second to the foot of a steep slope rising from the water.
Torii gates march up the side of a hill, guarding the steps rising from the end of the boardwalk, the gates themselves guarded by stone cats. The top of this hill offers the first of multiple places spread across the setting to sit and relax and have fun. Beyond it, the land falls away back towards the waters below, offering a broad meadow, a narrow channel separating it from the rest of the landscape.
Reached via a brightly-painted bridge, the lowlands continue onwards before rising to the top of a long spine of north-pointing rock along which a tree-shaded path runs. Close to the northern end of this path, a bridge branches away to cross a steep-sided gully to a thumb of rock almost sitting as an island in its own right. Beyond the bridge the path slopes gently down before switch-backing its way back up to a high, flat-topped promontory marked by a wide beach on its western side.
All of which barely describes the beauty of the setting. Throughout all of it are the aforementioned places to sit – ranging the benches to swings to little shaded sheds, rafts and even giant plushies; flowers bring sweeping blankets of colour or stand as beacons of reds and violets and blossom to mark the paths that await people's footfall, and which rise from the waters as gardens of colour.
Also to be found through the setting and helping to bring it marvellously to life – frequently in the most fantastical and mythological of ways – are the animals and creatures which act as the aforementioned motfis for the different vignettes. From skull-headed foxes to sea-worms to great dragons to Krin, many of these creatures draw on Japanese influences, and they share the setting with cats, birds, rabbits, stag, orca, wolves and even an albino lion.
Nor does it end there; Valerie has added a huge amount of subtle detail to the region as well, much of which can be easily missed by the hurrying eye, but which also doesn't strain the viewer overly much providing a little sensible care is taken with settings.
Finished with an engaging soundscape, photogenic under a broad range of EEP settings, this iteration of Raion No Su makes for a rewarding visit. However, if you do want to catch it, then you'd better hop along in the next couple of weeks – I understand from Valerie that she'll be changing things towards the end of the month.
My thanks to Valerie for the personal invitation!

Chandi (Caṇḍī) — također poznata kao Chandika (Caṇḍika) — hinduistička je božica, smatrana spojem božicâ Parvati, Lakšmi i Sarasvati. Ona je najstrašniji oblik Šakti, ženske energije svemira. Šaktisti — hinduisti koji posebno štuju božice — smatraju Chandi inkarnacijom Adi Parashakti, koja je najviši oblik Šakti. Za Chandi se kaže da ne može tolerirati zlo te je zbog toga put do nje iznimno težak.

Devi Mahatmya
U svetom spisu Devi Mahatmya, u kojoj je proslavljena Šakti, Chandi je spomenuta kao moć Brahmana, koja uništava zle asure. Zbog toga ju šaktisti zazivaju kako bi uklonila zapreke s puta prema oslobođenju.

Bengal
Chandi je iznimno popularna u Bengalu, gdje ju smatraju Šivinom ženom te Ganešinom majkom. Tamo je povezana i s Kali.

By 7:32 AM the old lady had begun to clean her jars. The light was just so that she could see every blemish and particle of dirt. She cleaned the lids, too. She removed every bit of dust from yesterday's cleaning. Since the lids twisted on, she had to be sure to clean in the ridges, too.
Organic tomato sauce for pasta, strawberry jam for toast, olives for when friends came over. Jars from everyday eating. A collection of past meals. The labels were worn off. The glass was hard and smooth. Most were clear. A few were tinted dark green or brown.
She planned to use the jars as a glass Tupperware for other food, but it was quicker to grab the plastic. Glass was better. She didn't like microwaving in plastic. The jars would be vases. You could see the roots of basil and parsley. Fill it with water and stick an avocado seed in it. A glass water bottle. Or you could make those colored sand mixtures. A pretty dust collector. Store flour and nuts. Make trail mix.
The plates and bowls were on the right at the bottom. The glasses and mugs next to them. She could reach them easily for everyday use. Another row had wine glasses, glass corks, and heavy crystal bottles for liquor for the rare parties. All empty. She put the jars up on the top shelf. The laminated compressed wood was slightly bubbled due to the residue moisture from washing the glasses. It was the only place where there was enough room. She used to ask her daughter to reach up for her, but now she used a plastic stool. She didn't trust chairs.
Large to small, she made a row. Then she layered the row as the photographer would layer children in school pictures so you could see everyone's faces. No one left out. Tomato sauce jars were the majority. Spaghetti was always easy to make. There were jars from sun dried tomatoes, too.
Cleaning would take the better part of the morning. The rest of her day would be filled with reading The Five Agreements and The Power of Now, shopping, and calling family. If it was Sunday, she would go to church. Today she wrote in her diary. There was the scritch of metal on paper. At some point, the pen fell on the floor.
The home phone rang. Dust collected on the jars, on skin. It was a few weeks before a friend stopped by. The door was locked. The police came. Her funeral was held several days later. Some people from church showed up. Her family was in Canada.
The minister's sons were hailed to help clean her house. Some pictures of a girl in middle school, a young version of the lady with her sisters. Clothes to Goodwill. Knick knacks in a bag. The cabinets of the kitchen were opened.
"What the hell'd she do with all these jars?"
His brother shrugged. He held out a big black bag over the counter and the empty memories were swept in. Glass clinked and crashed. Shards poked out of the plastic. He shook out his hand and put a finger to his lips, sucking the blood. They double bagged the trash. The jars were thrown amongst a mountain of plastic guts spilling the wastes of life.

Scores Rise, Gap Closes on New CRCT (UPDATED 6/23)
- Media Contact: GaDOE Communications Office, (404) 463-1487, dtofig@gadoe.org - Public Contact: Ask DOE Help Desk, (404) 656-2800, askdoe@doe.k12.ga.us JUNE 10, 2008 -- Student performance is rising and the achievement gap is closing in every area where the state's new curriculum has been implemented for more than one year. The official statewide results of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) were released today and show improvement across the board on the 25 exams that have been aligned to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for two or three years. "These results provide further proof that our teachers are doing a great job implementing our new curriculum and should be commended for their hard work," Superintendent Cox said. "It also shows that when you raise expectations, Georgia students will rise up and meet that higher bar in all areas." Among the highlights of the report: - Mathematics, grade 7: The pass rate was 80 percent, an increase of six points in one year. - Science, grade 7: Seventy-five (75) percent of students passed the science CRCT, an increase of 12 points in two years. - Reading, all grades: Eighty-seven (87) percent or more of students in all grades passed the reading CRCT and the pass rate increased in all areas. Achievement Gap is Closing Even as student achievement increased in all racial subgroups, the achievement gap between minority students and white students closed in all areas where the GPS has been in place for more than one year. "Student achievement is improving for all of our students, but our African-American and Hispanic students are making substantial progress each year under our new standards," Superintendent Cox said. "We still have a long way to go, but I know if this trend continues, Georgia can be one of the first states in the union to erase the achievement gap." Among the highlights of the score report: - Reading, grade 4: The pass rates for African-American (81%) and Hispanic (83%) students have increased 11 points respectively in two years. The achievement gap has closed 8 points for each group. - Mathematics, grade 7: The pass rates for African-American (70%) and Hispanic (77%) students increased 8 points respectively in one year. The achievement gap closed 5 points in each area. - Science, grade 7: The pass rates for African-American (62%) and Hispanic (69%) students have increased 15 points and 16 points respectively in two years. The achievement gap has closed by 6 or more points. Performance on New Tests In 2008, there were eight CRCTs that were aligned to the GPS for the first time - mathematics in grades 3-5 and 8; science in grade 8 and social studies in grades 6-8. The results of these tests are not comparable to last year, when the test was aligned to the old curriculum. In each case, the new test was more rigorous and required higher order thinking. "These results give us a new, realistic baseline to work from," said Superintendent Cox. "We are holding our students to a higher standard so that when they get their diploma it will mean they are truly ready for the demands of the 21st century." Seventy-two (72) percent of 5th graders and 62 percent of 8th graders passed the new GPS-aligned CRCT in mathematics. In science, about 60 percent of 8th graders passed the new CRCT. "While these are not the type of results we have seen in the past, these pass rates are more in line with what we are seeing on national assessments," Superintendent Cox said. "As a state, we must face the reality that our students need more advanced mathematics and science skills to be successful in the 21st century," she said. "If we don't raise standards in these and other core areas, we are doing a disservice to our students and our state." The results of the grade 6 and 7 social studies exams were invalidated due to alignment issues on the test. Groups of educators and curriculum experts have made preliminary revisions to the curriculum in these areas. These revisions will be made available for public comment by the end of the week.

Preventing Government Overreach: Clean Line Project "Not a Done Deal"
Arkansans across the state are concerned with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) recent partnership with Clean Line Energy, a private company, to build a large power line through Arkansas and the impact it will have on their land. One Franklin County resident recently told me that his family farm is targeted to be split in half.
I'm also concerned about this blatant government overreach. The decision by DOE erodes states' rights. Arkansas officials reviewed and rejected this project. This marks the first time Washington bureaucrats overruled a state to build this type of project.
Infrastructure is important. Our country built a reliable electric grid without putting Washington in charge of where power lines will be built. Throughout the history of electric transmission siting, transmission projects have been reviewed and approved at the state level.
While some say Washington needs control so that renewables – like wind energy – can be put on the grid, we've had success without the interference of bureaucrats. I support an all-of-the-above energy plan, including wind, but this new wind capacity has been and can be installed without Washington overruling states.
Fortunately, the Obama Administration's plan for this power line still faces hurdles. This is not a done deal. DOE must be able to legally defend its decision, and there are big gaps between what the law requires and the decision it reached.
DOE is resorting to a small provision that has never been used, from a law passed more than a decade ago. This law states that it does not "affect any requirement of any Federal or State law relating to the siting of energy facilities." In other words, even though the Obama Administration approved the project, many legal experts think that Clean Line and DOE must return to the Arkansas Public Service Commission for final approval on the project's location. Other parts of the DOE's decision appear to be arbitrary and unsupported by facts.
I have asked legal experts and Congressional investigators to carefully review DOE's decision. We are studying several related documents released by DOE, including the 22-page "Record of Decision" on the environmental review, a 73-page "Summary of Findings," and a 210-page "Participation Agreement" between DOE and Clean Line. We will also require DOE to answer a series of questions related to its decision and provide all related documents and evidence.
Last year, in an effort to clarify the law and restore rights to Arkansans, I introduced the Assuring Private Property Rights Over Vast Access to Land (APPROVAL Act). This bill would make it crystal clear that these kinds of projects must receive state approval. Congressman Steve Womack (AR-03) introduced the same bill in the House. The legislation is supported by the entire Arkansas congressional delegation.
We will continue working to stop this project, not just because it violates property rights, but also because it violates the right of all Arkansans to have their voices heard at the state and local level.

This fantastic building needed a makeover, and thanks to Craig Ellwood and Associates, it got just that.
In Brentwood, years ago there was an overwhelming desire to cover the lots available along the hills of Crestwood with fantastic homes taking advantage some of those fantastic views.
The T-shaped home keeps the personal and private area separated from onlooking drivers-by by extending the floor to ceiling windows out over the hillside amongst the treetops.
Give this article a read and see the fantastic images provided.

Poles send over twenty tons of aid to Syrian refugees in Bulgaria
A month ago, Michał Borkiewicz was mainly known as the owner of two trendy clubs in Warsaw. Today, he is also known as the man who can mobilize thousands of people of goodwill to deliver over twenty tons of humanitarian aid for refugees in the closed container camp of Harmanli, Bulgaria.
UNHCR has talked to the owner of clubs Plan B and Powiększenie and chief organizer of the humanitarian action "Warsaw supports Syrian refugees" as they were loading in the donations of Poles for Syrian refugees, departing today, and expecting to reach Harmanli on Monday.
How did you come up with an idea to organise humanitarian aid for Syrian refugees in Bulgaria?
It was a coincidence. For some time, I have been interested in the problems facing refugees and immigrants worldwide. I read quite a lot about it, knew about the dreadful situation that Syrian people had found themselves in, but I had no idea what measures could be taken to help them. The idea cropped up when my friend called me saying that he and his traveller friend, Maciej Pastwa, were planning to go to a refugee camp in Harmanli, Bulgaria. They managed to organise a campaign aimed at collecting clothes and necessities and handing them over to refugees. The idea seemed insane and a bit crazy. But right away, I thought that if one might travel there and that these people really had such tremendous needs, as described by the media, and there is no organised aid that is able to satisfy their needs, I could band together my friends and colleagues as well and using my network, I was going to organise a similar campaign.
Is it easy to launch such a campaign in Poland?
It is the first time that I have done such a thing. I have almost no experience, but I am trying to act reasonably. My situation is easy in the sense that in Warsaw I am engaged in social and cultural activities, thanks to which I have many channels at hand through which I can reach out to people. Still, I had no idea what the response would be like. I was afraid that there were so many charity campaigns on the Internet, and in particular during the Christmas period, that my initiative would fail without even being noticed. But the response was immense. Even though our actions were not organised professionally and we carried them out during the Christmas break, which is when many people go on leave. I must admit that the response surpassed my expectations.
How great was the feedback?
The number of people we invited to participate in the event on Facebook reached twenty thousand. And there was spontaneous support that grew, creating a snowball effect. People simply saw that this was a concrete campaign that was necessary and really simple. It allowed us to collect more than 20 tons of different items. That is a success. Although now we have the most difficult part of it all ahead of us, that is the distribution of the collected things in Harmanli.
Has anyone complained about the campaign, for example that it is not organised for Poles and in Poland?
I expected such opinions, but to my astonishment, we have not encountered them until later. It was only during the campaign in Poznań, but those were isolated opinions, and people were desperate and helpless. My response to our critics was that if they had other ideas, we would be eager to consider them.
So, your conviction that Poles are willing to help has not been disproven?
Absolutely not. There were so few opinions of that kind that it was a pleasant surprise to me.
I know that you have managed to organise free transport for those twenty tons by a truck. That is certainly not an easy task. How did you do that?
In the very last minute, thanks to my contacts, I got to a company that organized free transport for us through using the services of its distributor. It was a gift from them.
What are the things that you are taking to Harmanli?
Children's, men's, women's clothes, divided into categories to ease the distribution. In addition, toys, baby items, detergents, home appliances and kitchen equipment. We do not want to take lots of food with us, but thanks to being able to save some funds on transport, we might buy as much food as we can afford in Bulgaria after we arrive.
I suppose that you will not load a 20-ton truck on your own. You surely have a lot of people that help you.
That is right. I would not have achieved anything on my own. Many friends and volunteers have helped me who have learned about the campaign on Facebook. Not only do we need help with loading the truck, but above all with sorting, packing and weighing the donated goods.
Is this a one-off campaign? If it turns out to be a success, will you keep the ball rolling?
I am thinking about carrying on the initiative, but I do not know yet in what form. We also have to assess the possibilities of providing help to refugees here in Poland. We have to remember that refugees' needs and conditions in Bulgaria change dynamically.
Interview by Rafał Kostrzyński in Warsaw, Poland


Happy New Year brethren, we welcome A.L. 6015! The calendar year may be just beginning, but the Masonic year is in full swing! After a light December schedule so the brethren could have ample time to devote to family and friends during the holiday season, January's calendar is full with Masonic opportunities! Along with our regular Communication on Tuesday January 7th, we will be having a full rehearsal of the 3rd degree on Thursday January 14th at 7:00 PM. The Master Mason degree will be held on Tuesday January 21st at 7:00 pm for at least one candidate. This is our first "raising" of the Masonic year and we want to make every effort to be "spot-on" with our ritual and floorwork for our brother's degree.
Novelist Albert Camus wrote, "Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." Freemasonry offers that very freedom, that very chance; alas at a price! That price is to choose to be a better man; that price is the courage to take an obligation to be something you were not previously. Meeting the expectations of that obligation requires effort. It requires service; it requires effort to pass on the valuable lessons to the next brother, it requires commitment. Freedoms to choose, to association, to keep confidences, to grow as men, these are the lifelong endeavors of a Master Mason.
Fervency is be defined as "the intensity of feeling". When a new brother, as a seeker of personal growth or light, has his first Masonic epiphany, there is a certain quality to that moment that can only be experienced in the lodge room. The light quite literally comes on and a new way of viewing the true possibilities of a life of service to others as a pathway to personal happiness is found. That intense feeling or fervency, a desire to have and receive more of the same is the joy of Freemasonry. "The more you put into it, the more you get out of it", are words spoken at nearly every pre-application meeting with the candidate. These are words of truth born through experience.
Got Zeal? The consequence of freedom is the gift of fervency; the effects of fervency are the actions of zeal. A zealot is an advocate, a believer a champion of a cause. Ours is a fraternity of attraction not promotion. Our stated mission is to help good men to become great men. This is accomplished through the lessons of the degrees and further through the example set by each and every just and upright Mason who leads his life accordingly. Zealousness does not mean boisterous, it means leading by example as an advocate for the tenets we uphold.
Best wishes for the New Year to all my brothers and their families!

If picturesque Kashmir valley of India is called "Paradise on earth" then surely Pahalgam is the capital of that paradise. Located at a distance of almost 97 km from Srinagar (the provincial capital of Jammu and Kashmir) and at an altitude of 7200 feet, Pahalgam is undoubtedly the most beautiful place in the Kashmir, India.
How did Pahalgam get its name?
If we try to find the origin of the name Pahalgam then we have to look back on the ancient history from Bronze Age Civilization. In local dialect, Pahalgam means "First (Pahala means first) Village (Gam means village or locality)". But the most interesting question is "to whom it was the first village?" Those who arrived in the Kashmir Valley from south or west, Pahalgam could not be the first locality or village on their way. Only those people who arrived at the Kashmir Valley from the northern or western direction after crossing the mighty Himalaya Mountain, Pahalgam could be the first locality for them.
Next important question is who came to Kashmir Valley by crossing the Himalayas from the northern or eastern side?

NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan charity held a pageant on Friday for people with albinism in a bid to affirm the dignity of a group that has faced discrimination, violence and even murder because of the hereditary condition.
The competition for 30 participants was organised by the Albinism Society of Kenya with partners in Uganda and Tanzania. The winners of Mr and Miss Albinism will get cash prizes and act as ambassadors for the partner organisations for a year.
Albinism is a rare, non-contagious, genetically inherited condition that leads to a lack of pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes, causing vulnerability to the sun and bright light, according to the United Nations.
The condition is said to be more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa than elsewhere. The United Nations estimates 1 in 1,400 people are affected in Tanzania and 1 in 1,000 in Zimbabwe.
People with albinism have been attacked or even killed in some African countries for their body parts because of a belief that they possess magical powers.
The pageant, which aims to overcome that stigma, was titled "accept me, include me, I can".
Okwii Simon Peter, a 26-year-old Ugandan lawyer, said he was taking part to demonstrate that living with albinism does not make him different.
"We are here mainly to create awareness, to do advocacy ... showcasing our beauty and talent," he told Reuters.

The Full Works Concert
The Full Works Concert - Wednesday 23 October 2013
A favourite Organ Symphony and a modern guitar concerto are highlights in tonight's Full Works Concert.
Tonight's concert opens with Johann Sebastian Bach's Keyboard Concerto in D minor. The concerto is believed to be based on a lost violin concerto that was later arranged as an organ concerto in 1728 for use in two of Bach's cantatas. Tonight it's performed by pianist Angela Hewitt. She gives a relaxed, elegant, technically brilliant, performance with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In addition to the quality of the playing, the recording quality is immaculate as well.
Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor was written by the then 17-year old in October 1773, shortly after the success of his opera, Lucio Silla. It was reportedly completed in Salzburg on 5 October, just two days after the completion of his Symphony No. 24. The first movement is widely known as the opening music in the film Amadeus. Mozart wrote two symphonies in G minor - this one is known as the 'little G minor'. With its leaping melodic lines and syncopation, it is reminiscent of the Sturm und Drang symphonies of the time - and probably inspired by Haydn's Symphony No. 39 which is also in G minor.
The complex and highly intricate Concerto Antico for Guitar and Small Orchestra was composed by BAFTA award-winning composer Richard Harvey for guitarist John Williams. It's a suite of tunes based on old dance and song forms from different parts of Europe. Written in 1995, it remains one of Harvey's most popular works, entering the Classic FM Hall of Fame for the first time in 2012. Harvey hoped that this highly-demanding piece would both complement and contrast the standard staples of the guitar repertoire.
The 'Organ' Symphony by Saint-Saëns - pictured - is probably best understood as a 'Symphony with added organ', because only two of its four movements feature the instrument. It's a magnificent work with the composer saying he was writing to his limits: 'I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have accomplished here, I will never achieve again.' The Royal Philharmonic Society in the UK commissioned the work and Saint-Saëns came over to conduct its premiere at the old St James's Hall, now the site of the Le Meridien Hotel in London's Piccadilly.

On a rainy Friday night (Nov. 2) at Tampa Catholic, the Jesuit defense turned in a flawless performance to help keep "The Streak" alive.
The Tigers defeated TC 17-7, and in doing so earned the 19th straight Jesuit football victory over the Crusaders.
The dominating defense was the main reason. It allowed just two (2) TC 1st downs the entire game, only 34 total yards, and the Crusaders never crossed midfield.
The only TC score came on a kickoff return touchdown.
After a scoreless 1st quarter, the Jesuit offense executed two long, pounding drives in 2nd quarter to make it 14-0 at intermission. Matthew Pittman '19 ran in the first TD from 5 yards out to cap an all-rushing play drive that featured bruising 1st down runs by Rick Parks '21 and Larry Hodges '19. After the TC kickoff return score, on the next series the Tigers mixed it up a little, as Kiael Kelly '21 connected with Jonathan Odom '20 on 4th-and-1 to get Jesuit to the TC 10. Then Kelly hit Lex Capitano '20 in the corner of the end zone for a 10-yard score.
On defense, Patrick Leone '19, Raleigh Oxendine '20, Christian Beatty '19, Jaden Pask '19, Jacob Tauber '19, and Brett Gerena '20 made tackle after tackle at or behind the line of scrimmage and forced several fumbles. Outside linebackers Emy Okeke '21 and Myles Coates '21 smothered everything on the flanks, while safety Dane Belton '19 swatted away any pass attempts.
The Tigers finish the season 9-1 and as District champs, the fifth District crown in head coach Matt Thompson's six seasons. Jesuit earned the No. 2 seed in the Region for the State playoffs. The Tigers will host a Region Quarterfinal game Friday (Nov. 9) at 7:30pm vs. DeSoto County (7-3).

The Kershaw Natrix is based on brother brand Zero Tolerance's 0770, which itself was inspired by the award-winning ZT 0777. This knife features a drop-point blade that offers solid performance. Accessed with the built-in flipper, Kershaw KVT ball-bearing opening makes it easy to open the knife one-handed. An oversized pivot provides an attention-grabbing detail on the front of the knife, while Kershaw patented Sub-Frame Lock secures the blade and provides a dramatic, contrasting line on the back. a decorative backspacer adds another embellishment. And finally, a custom-designed deep-carry pocketclip echoes the lines of a special recess machined into the handle to complete this good looking knife. The Black Natrix has a blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, expertly heat-treated by Kershaw to bring out its high-performance qualities. Black-oxide blade coating, black hardware, and black G10 handle ensures the Black Natrix dark good looks.
