Another day of filming. Originally I meant to film outdoors but it's a bright day, clear sky and really windy. Despite avoiding green screen shots I decided to do at least few and play safe in case I would not manage the exterior shots. As time goes by and I am closer to the deadlines I usually have come to make changes and strip some ideas down. Unfortunately the less favorite parts of the process are still crucial to make the areas of my strength and interest work. In this case it was filming. I shot mainly locked-off, using only the studio house lights and slightly higher ISO than I would usually use, I believed, that the Canon 5D MarkII would get the job done. I focused manually using the digital zoom on the LCD screen. I wanted to shoot higher shutter speeds, but that would have sacrifice the light. Not mentioning the already wide f4 apperture.
I did about 20 short takes with Nowell which went pretty smooth and the acting required wasn't very difficult. After I reviewed the shots on a computer, it turned out, that the focus wasn't right on most of the shots. At this stage, I am still hoping to be able to get some okey results after taking the shots to NUKE. I am afraid, that in this case, compromising quality for time did not pay off and I might need to film again. On the other hand, there is a chance to improve my filming skills/ push an imperfect footage to it's maximum. Nevertheless, I still feel challenged.
From the first batch of shots I made a quick edit in Adobe Premiere, to see which shots and frame ranges I will need for VFX. Some shots greatly varied in exposure and color consistency due to cloud movement but also because I tried to adjust the white balance in the middle of the shoot, hoping that I will be able to eyeball it. Looking at the shots I discover more problems with shot consistency, mainly in acting. In the future I have to pay more attention to that.
To give at least few examples where my project links to the industry I can mention a very recent film Arrival (2016) which surprised me, since my idea is very similar. I am hoping, that by looking at the VFX breakdowns I can use some techniques.
Another inspiring masterpiece Prometheus (2012) featuring a massive spaceship could be helpful as a reference for integrating my floating structures into various environments.
After I rendering a multilayer EXR file I brought it to Nuke to test the floating pyramids with the environment. Came to a conclusion, that I need only few passes, since my objects are in a distance, covered in fog/haze and the light is also very diffused. I omitted any indirect passes as the geometry had no interference with the ground or other bounce sources. I did try making the pyramids shinier, but they didn not look good. Rough, rocky material is what I was going for.

Home World Asia Counterbalancing China – East Asian Summit Begins
Counterbalancing China – East Asian Summit Begins
M.R. Josse
Today, Kuala Lumpur will birth the 16-member East Asian Summit. It comprises the 10 current members of ASEAN as well as China, Japan and South Korea ('ASEAN plus three', joined now by Australia, New Zealand and India).
Russia is interested in its membership. Sans consensus, however, it will not become a member – yet. Apparently, Russia does not meet the established criteria: ASEAN dialogue partner status, strong relations with the region, and a signatory of an "amity and cooperation" treaty.
No one yet knows what exactly the forum stands for, or even when it will convene again. Malaysia says that it will be a strategy-focused organisation with a wide geopolitical view; others hope that it could be the precursor of an eventual free-trade East Asian community.
Preparations have exposed deep divides with bitter exchanges between China and Japan and a split in the membership along pro- and anti-US lines. Moreover, as Abdul Razak Baginda of the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre believes, the inclusion of India, Australia and New Zealand is designed as a counterweight to China in a forum where the US is not invited.
Indeed, the calculated move to counterbalance China should arouse attention in a Nepal sandwiched between China and India. For instance, it was reflected at the recent Dhaka summit in India's initial attempt to blackball China from SAARC. Failing that, she pressed for Japan's association with SAARC as an observer, alongside China's.
Many analysts in Dhaka then felt much the same, in light of the determined push for SAARC membership for an Afghanistan headed by Hamid Karzai, its pro-American president. It may be recalled that Pakistan, which had for years resisted the idea of Afghanistan's association with SAARC, actually took the lead in proposing Afghanistan's membership – with India predictably seconding the proposal. Some discerned behind-the-scenes American pressure on Islamabad.
Two subsequent developments relating respectively to Pakistan and Afghanistan are particularly worthy of note. One is the decision of the US government to pledge US$ 510 million dollars for Pakistan's earthquake victims, announced at the Islamabad pledging conference on November 19. That sizeable sum, the largest amount from any single country, includes $156 million already donated. Likewise, shortly after the SAARC decision on Afghanistan's membership, announced in Dhaka on November 13, NATO foreign ministers, including US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, approved plans to send more NATO troops to Afghanistan which like Nepal, Pakistan, India and Bhutan borders China.
Coming back to the recent SAARC summit and the issues connected to India's approach towards China and Afghanistan, it is interesting that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently told parliament that India had no reservation on China (and Japan) being conferred the status of SAARC observers.
Quite obviously MPs had raised questions regarding India's stance on that issue, doubtless having received media and other reports about how the final decision on that and connected questions came about.
Indicating that the question would be settled at the next ministerial meeting of the group in July 2006, Singh went on to explain that as the question is connected with "specific obligations and rights" the same would be settled at that ministerial meeting (in Dhaka). One wonders if such references suggest that the question of China's (and Japan's) status as SAARC observer is still a fluid one, as far as New Delhi is concerned. Another Indian perspective on countering or counterbalancing China is reflected in a recent Times of India editorial in which it is stated, inter alia, "if ASEAN plus 3 were to become the key players in an expanded East Asian community that would have the effect of containing India to South Asia, when all of New Delhi's efforts should be towards breaking out of the South Asian bracket."
Expanding on that theme, India's premier daily that often reflects the Indian establishment's views on foreign/security policy argues that "its strategy should be the pursuit of multilateral linkages, firming up alliances with whoever would like to see India play a role in East Asia. Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand are generally in this camp, and New Delhi needs to work in close tandem with them."
The editorial suggests the possibility of persuading Pakistan to become an energy bridge between Central Asia and South and East Asia, disclosing that "recent thinking within the Bush administration favours such an orientation." Then comes the clincher – "But Beijing is not going to like it," drawing attention to the fact that it has formed the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) with Russia and the Central Asian states to ensure that the pipelines from those countries go China's way. Unstated is that a Central Asia, South and East Asia combine, right around China's periphery, backed by the US, would be yet another manifestation of the "counterbalancing China" strategy. That, thus, very clearly seems to be the new game in town sponsored by the neo-cons in Washington. It has plainly won ardent fans in and around the corridors of power in New Delhi.
Foreign policy Implications Is it any wonder that as AFP reports, "displeased by the inclusion of Australia, New Zealand and India, China is also pushing for the existing 'ASEAN plus three' grouping to remain preeminent." Nepal must be alive to the full range of its foreign policy/security implications, especially against the backdrop of the international squeeze on it on the spurious pretext of promoting democracy.

Leamington Preparing For Online Election
By Mike Vlasveld July 20, 2014 6:13am
The Municipality of Leamington is urging anyone with questions about its online-only election to contact them.
Director of Corporate Services Brian Sweet says a video is expected to be released later this month, instructing residents on how to vote.
"We're also going to have a couple dates late in August, where people can come into town hall if the choose and we can demonstrate for them," says Sweet. "They can also try it themselves, in a mock election, to see how they can vote."
Residents are also encouraged to visit the municipality's website to make sure they're on the voters list for this fall's municipal election.


The Mercedes AMG-GT coupe is an iconic coupe with incredible performance. When it comes to looks it has the same body styling as a normal GT, the wide long hood, short deck, retractable spoilers, low profile aerodynamic body, sports exhaust and the standard Mercedes grille for the base model gives it very phenomenal look.
The standard 2017 AMG-GT costs $111,200 features a V8 and can hit 0-60 mph in just 3.5 sec. and that is a supercar there. The 2017 Mercedes AMG is a pure driver's car, and the closest relative of the SLS but unlike SLS the AMG-GT is not only a daily drivable car but it also rules on the tracks. The AMG GT also has a high performing variant that put the Porsche 911 on the edge.
The 2017 Mercedes AMG GT is a phenomenal supercar and has some extraordinary competitors. The Jaguar F-type Coupe and the Porsche 911 Carrera are those extraordinary competitors blessed with supercar abilities.
The Mercedes AMG GT Coupe has two trim levels, the base AMG GT and the high-performing AMG GT S. The standard AMG GT comes with a 19-inch wheels, sports seats with memory and other power options, automatic climate control, command navigation, 8-inch infotainment display with voice controls, Bluetooth connectivity and touch sensitive central control, and rear-view camera.
The higher variant, the GTS comes standard with all features of base variant with 503 hp V8 engine, upgraded exhaust, adaptive suspensions, Burmester speakers, leather upholstery and sportier looking body for $131,200. All those extra features on the AMG GT S are optional for the base variant.
COMAND infotainment interface (8-inch display, knob and touchpad controllers), voice controls, a navigation system, Bluetooth, two USB ports, satellite and HD radio, an auxiliary audio jack and a media player interface. 10-speaker Burmeister surround-sound audio system.
Apart from its engine, all of the extra GT S content is optional on the base GT.
The Mercedes AMG GT is a fully equipped sports car that has the capacity to Performa on both roads and tracks. The AMG GT also gets optional features to match the performance of the GT S so the base model is the best choice. But in case you can put extra cash go for the GTS with the Aerodynamic packages, carbon fiber interior trim and matte black paint.
"AMG models have been criticized for years for their punishing ride on the average potholed American road, so you'd think a dedicated sports car like the GT would be even worse. Surprise! It's quite livable around town, yet when you pick up the pace, the GT grips tarmac unlike any vehicle ever to wear an AMG badge. - Kelley Blue Book"
The AMG GT drives its power from a 4.0L V8 engine that produces 456 hp and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission and a rear wheel drivetrain. Under the price of $111,200 there are several cars that have more power and better acceleration but it not the power it the way the power output is handled and that's what makes GT coupe so special.
The AMG Gt is not the best in the class, as the Jaguar F-type features a massive 5.0L 550hp V8 engine with 502 lb-ft of torque output makes it the best in the class and the 911 Carrera stays the last when it comes to number of horses but of course that alone does not decides the performance and capabilities of a car.
The Mercedes AMG GT races from 0-60 mph in only 3.5 sec and hits the quarter mile in 11.6 sec. Which is only possible due to its exceptionally engineered body, advanced vehicle dynamic, intelligent power output and fast shifting automatic transmission.
The Mercedes AMG GT and the Jaguar F-type has the same 0-60 mph time as the Carrera stay 0.2 sec behind not to mention the high performance AMG GT S variant with 0-60mph in mere 3.0 secs.
Well the AMG GT is performance coupe specially engineered to offer track level performance but it is also capable of daily driving. The AMG series is pretty famous for their performance but they have some flaws, which is totally unknown to the GT coupe. The AMG dynamic select features lets you choose between Comfort, sport, sport+ and Individual with Race mode for GT S only.
As you switch between the modes the steering response, transmission, suspension and power output changes as the car goes more aggressive and the exhaust gets louder. The AMG GT is so well engineered so that you can hit almost 90% of the throttle while cornering without a body roll. It retractable spoiler increases traction and keeps vehicle stable while cornering or accelerating hard.
The AMG GT is 3560 lbs. supercar that can do 0-60 mph in 3.5 sec and so it need some intense braking Prowers. The AMG GT is equipped with AMG high-performance composite braking system which includes 14.2 inch ventilated front and rear disc brakes made of carbon-fiber reinforced with ceramic for better deceleration and are 40% lighter then brakes of composite materials.
The AMG GT takes only 96 ft. to get from 60-0 mph. and that equals to a race track braking performance. The AMG GT is also equipped with features like 4-wheels anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, traction control, brake drying and emergency braking preparation/assists for more intelligent and effective braking.
The AMG GT offers an average mileage of 16/22 mpg in city/highway with an combined mileage of 18 mpg. It is not something impressive but for a car that features V8 it is satisfactory, well the mileage also depends on the way and the mode you are driving. Compared to the Mercedes, the Jaguar F-type has almost fuel efficiency while the 911 has an impressive fuel economy.
The Mercedes AMG-GT is a two-seater compact coupe. It has a well-equipped driver-focused interiors with hind quality finish and lots of soft-touch material. The AMG GT gauge cluster adapts to the drive modes and also shares several different types of data for better performance. It has a 3-spoke power steering with mounted cruise control, multimedia controls and shift pedals.
The AMG-GT features sports seats with multi-level heating and adjustable height covered in leatherette. The door panels are equipped with several power control and soft-touch materials for better comfort. The Gt features an 8-inch infotainment screen with a touch-sensitive center console with mounted drive mode control, start/stop button, climate, a small shift, and other controls.
Unlike the AMG GT highly designed body or extraordinary performance, its features AMG standard infotainment system which is well equipped in itself and features Mercedes self-developed Command interface. The AMG GT comes standard with 8-inch in-dash infotainment screen, a touch-sensitive center control knob and voice controls as well.
It features satellite radio with real-time traffic satellite radio, AM/FM stereo, video monitor, a memory card slot, DVD player, speed sensitive volume control, Bluetooth connectivity and USB connection as well.
The Mercedes AMG GT features 12.3 cubic feet of cargo volume which is plenty for a sport coupe, well it is an impressive volume but considering its long and less wide design its versatility decreases a lot, as you cannot store bigger or wider objects, but you can put two golf bags, that works. The boot space is also accessible from the cabin due to a rear side cutout for better rear visibility.
"Even in the rarefied domain of exotic sports cars, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT stands out with its sleek lines, high-tech construction, outstanding performance and luxury appointments.- Edmunds"
The Mercedes GT coupe is engineered in a way to bring out every bit of power from the 456hp V8 , its low profile body, elegant curves, long bonnet with its iconic Mercedes grille represent the SLS and it half-century old ancestors. The car is so well designed that it just feels planted to the track, and roars as it revs up.
The Mercedes AMG GT is 179.0 inch long and 76.3 inch wide with a body height of 50.7 that keeps is well planted and reserves enough space for two-seater cabin and a small bonnet. It has a 103.5 inch of wheelbase keeping the vehicle stable, the retractable spoiler increases traction and stability as you accelerate the rear-wheel drive beast.
The jaguar F-type Coupe is a class leading performance coupe. It features a massive 550hp V8 engine with 8-speed automatic. When it comes to performance the Jaguar is on the same level as the Mercedes and has the same acceleration times. The Jaguar is heavy but smaller in dimension and has almost the same fuel efficiency.
On head-on competition, the Jaguar is on the same level as the Mercedes but still is $5800 cheaper than the Mercedes, but the $6000 gap for a 6 digits car does not count actually.
The Porsche 911 is the smallest in the whole competition. Not only in comparison of size, or space or body height but it also features a smaller 420hp engine with 7-speed automatic and still cost about the same as the Mercedes. The Porsche is indeed the most fuel economical car in the whole class and it also have more overall storage than both cars but high cost of ownership, hence Mercedes wins.
The Mercedes AMG-GT is a revolution in the AMG lineup and has all the rights to be called a driver's car. This 6-digit coupe is not only just powerful, or a good looking car, it has the potential to bring out every single horses it owns. The AMG GT is designed in a way to handle daily commute easily while it rule the track.
The GT is not a family car and trust me they put the passenger's seat due to the regulation. Other than its performance it is comfortable, well equipped and one of the safest car around. Coming up to the competition the Gt leaves the Porsche in dust as for the jaguar, it might be powerful or less costly, it is on the same level as the Mercedes when it comes to performance.


BC Hydro and Power Authority is a Canadian electric utility in the province of British Columbia generally known simply as BC Hydro. It is the main electric distributor, serving 1.8 million customers in most areas, with the exception of the Kootenay region, where FortisBC, a subsidiary of Fortis Inc. directly provides electric service to 213,000 customers and supplies municipally owned utilities in the same area.
BC Hydro was already well into a project to rollout an SAP HR implementation that was slated to be virtually OOTB (Out of The Box). Historically SAP systems have been very powerful in terms of functionality, but very poor in terms of the user experience (UX) so needless to say there was much to be done. Some aspects of the system were to be internal facing and some were to be external facing, and although the internal facing aspects needed to be improved upon, the external aspects needed a great deal of rework in order make them ready for BC Hydro's valuable potential employees.
Replacing generic (again, out of the box) graphical elements with BC Hydro brand elements — We are strong believers in utilizing branding for internal systems as well. That way employees become stronger brand ambassadors.

Coping with depression could literally feel as though the world is ending. You might want to explore many options before deciding if therapy or medication is the best approach for you.
During the times you feel down and depressed keep away from all sugars, even the "healthy" ones like molasses, honey and fruit juice. Sugars are simple carbohydrates that enter our bloodstream a lot faster than carbohydrates like whole grains. This will make you feel more energized from the rapid carbohydrate flow, but you will become more tired and depressed after the excess carbohydrates are burned by your body's metabolism.
A good way to cope with clinical depression, is to take up a new hobby or interest. When people are not busy and spend too much time dwelling on certain negative thoughts, they often feel more depressed than those who engage in different activities. Plan activities that are exciting enough to make you want to fight against depression just to be able to enjoy them. Whatever hobby might interest you, learning or interacting with a new interest will surely help change your perspective.
If you are feeling depressed, it is especially important to make sure you get some time in the sun every day. It's been proven that a lack of sunshine can worsen depression.
Look for sources of support wherever possible. Other people, particularly those who have staved off their own depression, are particularly useful at offering advice as you combat depression.
Diet therapy has been successful in treating certain types of depression. If you eat improper foods, this can affect how you think and can make depression difficult to escape. Stay away from foods that are high in fat and try to keep a diet that is healthy.
You need to keep in mind that you're in charge of your thoughts. Take the word "depressed" and remove it from your vocabulary! The word itself can lead to negative thoughts because it has negative connotations, and is not a good way to describe feelings. Instead, use a term like "low mood" if you want to discuss your feelings; simply changing your language can help you feel better about your situation.
Anyone can be of help, whether this person is a friend, family member or coworker. Sometimes that's all you need to feel better.
Depression can be caused by many things, so it's important that you put in the effort to pinpoint the cause of your depression. Once you have established the basis for your feelings, you will be better equipped to deal with the most difficult moments of your condition.
With this article you will be able to work harder and smarter to leave the depression behind. Happiness is still out there and could become part of your life very soon.

Southbound traffic on Interstate 81 at the 105-mile marker in Montgomery County should be restored shortly. Traffic is currently being re-routed through Radford at this time. State police are still investigating the two-vehicle crash in the southbound lanes and working to clear the scene. The crash occurred at 12:21 a.m. Tuesday. The crash was not storm-related. A southbound tractor-trailer had become disabled and pulled off onto the shoulder. A short time later another southbound tractor-trailer ran off the road and struck the disabled vehicle. The crash caused one of the tractor-trailers to jackknife across the southbound lanes of I-81. At least one driver suffered minor injuries.
As of 9:30 p.m., Rappahannock Electric Cooperative's online outage map (at www.myrec.coop) reported the county's largest outage centered at Sperryville Pike and F.T.

In a statement released at 6 a.m. Tuesday, REC said it had about 17,300 outages across its 22-county service area. With the severest weather subsiding, said spokesperson Ann Lewis, restoration efforts are underway and storm damage assessment will continue throughout the day. REC advises its members and the public to be aware of the hazardous conditions created by the high winds, flooding and snow. This will be a multi-day event and members should expect to be without power for several days.
"Damage has occurred at many points along our distribution system," said Carter. "Repairs must begin with major facilities such as substations and main circuits that supply power to distribution lines serving the largest number of customers. Critical public safety facilities are also a restoration priority. We then move to repairing smaller lines and restoring power to individual homes." The Cooperative asks for the patience and understanding of its members as restoration work will be done as safely and quickly as possible.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews continue to work around the clock with three major events: flooding, downed trees and snow and ice. At this hour, all interstate and major roads are open. More than 280 roads, mostly secondary roads, are closed across the state. Flooding and downed trees and debris are causing secondary road closures mostly in the northern Virginia, Staunton and eastern Virginia regions.
The only secondary road reported closed in Rappahannock County through VDOT's website was Main Street in Washington, were power lines were down.
Although there is no longer a tropical system, the storm is still packing a punch with high gusty winds across the state and blowing and drifting snow in western portions of Virginia, where about six inches of snow is reported in some of Virginia's westernmost counties and continues to fall this morning. VDOT crews are treating roads to keep them as safe as possible.
In Northern Virginia, HOV restrictions have been lifted on interstates 66, 95, 395 and the Dulles Toll Road. 107 signals throughout northern Virginia are not functioning. Drivers should treat these intersections as four-way stops.
In Hampton Roads, all tunnels, water crossings, interstate highways and primary roads are open in most areas. Two severely impacted areas include Accomack and Northampton counties. In these areas, several secondary roads remain closed due to storm surge flooding and downed trees.
Motorists are urged to limit travel today because of road flooding and debris in the road. Even small branches can damage a vehicle or cause the driver to lose control.
About 1,000 VDOT crews and contractors are working throughout the storm to keep the roads clear as possible and motorists informed of road conditions. VDOT crews are removing debris from roadways, which involves cutting and hauling fallen trees, branches and other obstacles. This is being done in coordination with power crews as they fix power lines. VDOT also assists the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and other state agencies, localities and emergency responders with traffic control, detours and road closures.

CULPEPER — The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is reporting 17 secondary roads in Central Virginia are closed at this hour due to Hurricane Sandy. Twelve are flooded and another five are impassable due to power lines or trees that have fallen. All primary roads and interstate highways in the region are open.
For the latest information about road closures check VDOT's traffic web site, www.511Virginia.org. Click on the red bar at top left for Hurricane Sandy road closures and advisories.
As of 9:30 p.m., the road closures page had no reports of flooded or closed roads in Rappahannock County.
Travel is extremely hazardous due to the high wind, heavy blowing rain and danger of trees and debris in the roads. Many roads that are not closed are nevertheless hazardous due to tree limbs and other debris that has fallen into the road. VDOT is advising drivers across Virginia to postpone travel until after the storm has passed.
VDOT crews are working across Central Virginia to clear debris and reopen roads, but their efforts are hampered by the high winds and rain. The crews are coordinating their efforts with utility companies when power lines are involved. VDOT will continue working around the clock to reopen roads and repair damage after the storm passes.
· Watch for tree limbs and other debris in the roadway. Even small branches can damage a vehicle or cause the motorist to lose control.
· Assume all fallen power lines are electrified and dangerous. Never attempt to drive across or step over downed lines.
· If a traffic signal is out, treat the intersection as a four-way stop.
· Never drive around barricades. Remember, the road has been closed for your safety.
· Expect the unexpected. Reduce speed and be prepared to stop without warning.
In addition to the real-time road conditions and weather forecasts on VDOT's traffic and travel Web site, www.511Virginia.org, the site also has live traffic camera images for many major highways, including Interstate 64, I-66 and Routes 29 and 250 in Central Virginia. Motorists can call 511 from any telephone in Virginia for road and traffic conditions on all major highways in the state.
Monday, October 29 — In response to the storm, the American Red Cross is opening shelters today (in the counties south and east of Rappahannock County). Anyone who feels uncertain about staying in their home during the storm is encouraged to come to one of the shelters.
Madison County – Madison County Volunteer Fire Department on U.S. 29. Opens at 3 p.m.

RICHMOND – Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) urges motorists to limit travel on roadways until unsafe weather conditions pass. Flooding, high winds and downed trees and power lines will be the hazards.
Since the impacts of Hurricane Sandy started over the weekend, flooding has closed more than 30 secondary roads mainly in the Fredericksburg and Hampton Roads regions. The stormy weather is expected to bring heavy rain and high wind gusts across the state this morning with the northern region of Virginia hit the hardest.
About 1,000 VDOT crews and contractors will work throughout the storm to keep the roads as safe as possible and motorists informed of road conditions. VDOT crews will remove debris from roadways, which will involve cutting and hauling fallen trees, branches and other obstacles. This will be done in coordination with power crews as they fix power lines. VDOT will also assist the Virginia Department of Emergency Management and other state agencies, localities and emergency responders with traffic control, detours and road closures.
In the Hampton Roads region, all tunnels and water crossings are open. They are being monitored closely for storm impacts. In the event these facilities can no longer operate safely, they may be closed to motorists until the storm has passed and are deemed safe for travel. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel is open but restricted to cars, pick-up trucks, mini-vans and SUVs.
Secondary road closures are reported in York, Richmond, Patrick, Northumberland, Matthews, Lancaster, King William, Isle of Wight and Essex counties. High wind advisories are posted on many roads in the Hampton Roads and eastern Virginia regions.
· Limit travel during height of storm.
· Monitor local weather and traffic reports before getting into the car.
· Before heading out the door, get the latest road conditions by calling 511, visit www.511virginia.org or download the mobile app from the 511 web site.
Report downed trees or hazardous road conditions – Call VDOT's Customer Service Center at 1-800-FOR-ROAD (800-367-7623).

Fredericksburg, Va. – All Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) personnel and field crews are ready for power outages that may occur when Hurricane Sandy's winds, rains and possible flooding moves through our territory. In preparation, REC has secured additional crews from other cooperatives and utility contractors to join our workforce, responding immediately when weather conditions allow.
· If you see downed electrical wires, do not go near them. Treat all downed wires as if they are live. Never attempt to move or touch them with any object. Be mindful that downed wires can be hidden from view by tree limbs, leaves or water. Report all downed wires to REC and your local police department immediately. If a power line falls on your car while you're in it, stay inside the vehicle and wait for emergency personnel.
· If your power goes out, turn off all lights and appliances to prevent overloaded circuits when power is restored.
· Check to make sure your flashlights and any battery-operated radios are working. Also, make sure you have a supply of extra batteries. Weather updates and news on power outages can be heard on most local radio and television stations.
· Avoid opening your freezer to see if food is still frozen. Every time you open the door, room-temperature air enters and speeds the thawing process. Most fully loaded freezers will keep food frozen for approximately 36 to 48 hours; half-full freezers will keep food frozen for approximately 24 hours.
· If you use a portable electric generator, do not connect it directly to household wiring. Power from generators can back feed along power lines and electrocute anyone coming in contact with them, including line workers making repairs.
Members can report downed power lines, outages, and check service restoration status by computer or mobile device at www.myrec.coop. They also can call 800-552-3904. When reporting an outage, it is helpful if members have their REC account number available. Information regarding the outage will be updated on both REC's website and Facebook page.
Members should have items like batteries, lanterns, a can opener and a battery-powered radio on hand. A list of suggestions is available on the Outage Center section of the REC website. Any member who is dependent on electricity-powered medical equipment should take steps now to seek alternative shelter or a source of backup power, as appropriate.
REC provides electric service to over 155,000 connections in parts of 22 Virginia counties. With its general office in Fredericksburg, Va., Rappahannock maintains more than 16,000 miles of power lines through its service area, which ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. For information about REC, please visit myrec.coop.
Fredericksburg, Va. – Rappahannock Electric Cooperative's (REC) crews are standing by for the extensive damage expected when Hurricane Sandy blows through the Cooperative's 22-county service territory. REC remains focused on customer communication and is staffing the Cooperative's contact center around the clock until restoration efforts are complete. REC has additional contract tree-trimming crews, construction line crews, as well as mutual aid crews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia. They are pre-staged and ready to respond.
Much of REC's service area is rural and difficult to access even under normal circumstances. This hurricane has the potential to create dangerous conditions resulting in outages that could stretch over several days. Members are advised to make preparations for that possibility.
While prepared to restore service to members as quickly as possible, the safety of REC's employees and members is always the top priority. It is likely that the projected heavy rain, flooding and tree debris will result in hazardous conditions, including unsafe and inaccessible roads that will delay damage assessment and service restoration. Also, certain types of work requiring the use of bucket trucks cannot be safely completed in extremely high winds.
REC anticipates that an estimated time for restoration of the entire system may not be available until damage assessments are complete and the Cooperative works through the first phases of the restoration process to repair the electric system backbone and public safety sites.
If you experience an outage, call 800-552-3904 and follow the voice commands to report your outage. Smartphone users can go to the Outage Center on REC's mobile website and select the Report Outage option.

Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area
Alameda County, California
Livermore, California/Pleasanton, California
266 acres (1,080,000 m2)
Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is a regional park on the border of Pleasanton, California, and Livermore, California that is part of the East Bay Regional Parks (EBRP) system on Stanley Blvd. The lake was once a gravel pit, but then included a sandy beach with swimming, water slides and it supports fishing and recreational boating. Now the water slides have been taken down and is now planned to be replaced by an Interpretive Center. The park is also a popular picnic ground.
2.1 Swimming
3 E. coli
4 Quagga mussel inspections
Shadow Cliffs, a former gravel quarry, was donated to EBRP by Kaiser Industries, formerly the operator of the quarry, and opened as a park in 1971. The U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation provided a grant of $250,000 for development of park facilities. Thus funded, EBRPD developed a 266 acres (1,080,000 m2) park that included an 80 acres (320,000 m2) lake, picnic facilities and large parking lot.[1]
Activities[edit]
Swimming[edit]
Swimming is allowed year-round at the swimmer's own risk, even though lifeguards are on duty during the summer. The swimming beach on the main lake and a refreshment stand that are open on weekends in Spring and Fall and daily in summer. Pets and glass containers are not allowed on the sandy areas of the beach. Beach wheelchairs are available at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis.[1]
Fishing is allowed in the main lake, provided the angler has a Park District Daily Fishing Access Permit. Trout and catfish are planted every week by park personnel. Other species popular with anglers are bluegill and black bass.[1]
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed a safe eating advisory for fish caught in the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area based on levels of mercury or PCBs found in local species.[2]
E. coli[edit]
Lake water at Shadow Cliffs Beach is tested for bacterial levels weekly during April through October and twice a month from November to March.[3] In July 2014 EBRP closed the lake to swimmers due to extremely high levels of E. coli bacteria. Testing of water samples demonstrated E. coli at 6,100 colonies per 100 milliliters at the lake's south beach and 1,000 colonies per 100 milliliters at the north beach. California's state standard for daily maximum exposure is 235 colonies per 100 milliliters. Hal MacLean, the district water management supervisor, suggested that a combination of drought conditions, low water levels and accumulated animal feces - probably from geese - had caused the high bacterial content. EBRP planned to treat the lake with an oxidizing agent and "direct geese away from the swim area" in an attempt to lower the levels.[4]
Quagga mussel inspections[edit]
Effective October 1, 2016, EBRPD required that all motorized and paddle boats entering Shadow Cliffs Lake be inspected for quagga mussels. The district will charge owners a $7.00 fee to inspect motorized boats, and $3.00 to inspect inflatables, kayaks, canoes, and other vessels carried on top of cars entering Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area.[5]

Worldwide first fund transaction using blockchain technology completed in Luxembourg
Natixis Asset Management has announced that investors have successfully purchased shares in its funds through FundsDLT, the Luxembourg blockchain-powered fund distribution platform for fund managers. This is the first real blockchain transaction in the global investment fund industry.
The asset manager, based in Luxembourg and a leading affiliate of Natixis Global Aasset Management, announced its intention to be the first asset management player in the industry to use the FundsDLT platform applying blockchain technology across several of its business lines. For the first time in the fund industry, investors are using a blockchain based platform to purchase real funds' shares with real cash.
FundsDLT is the result of collaboration between Fundsquare (a subsidiary of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), InTech (a subsidiary of POST Group) and KPMG Luxembourg. The successful transaction is a significant milestone for Luxembourg's FinTech environment and its investment fund industry.
The new distribution platform is being developed to enable asset managers to sell funds through a new distribution channel, while significantly reducing administration costs and the time to process transactions for both asset managers and other asset services FundsDLT will streamline a range of fund administration and order-routing tasks by using blockchain to automate several processes in a secure manner. The model is applicable to a wide range of funds and does not depend on the jurisdiction. With the successful completion of the first transactions, the team is looking to investigate other use cases and applications in the field of B2B and B2B2C.
Olivier Portenseigne, Managing Director of Fundsquare said: "We are proud to have run the first real blockchain transactions in the history of investment funds. It was important for us to demonstrate that FundsDLT works in order to create the necessary trust that blockchain will answer the current needs of the asset management industry in terms of operational efficiency and digitalization. This will give our customers easy access to a powerful new generation of services."
Matthieu Duncan, CEO of Natixis Asset Management, added that Natixis "is delighted to have contributed to this pioneering first blockchain enabled trade via the FundsDLT platform. We believe the potential for blockchain technology to enhance distribution mechanisms in the asset management industry is very significant."
Ranked as the leading investment fund centre in Europe and second in the world, Luxembourg is positioning itself as a key hub in financial technology, notably offering asset managers access to new services and helping the industry adapt to rapid digitalisation. In order to further develop the Luxembourg fintech ecosystem and cement the country's role as a hub for global fintech companies wishing to access European markets, Luxembourg recently launched the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT), a private-public initiative driving technology innovation in financial services, offering incubation and acting as a soft-landing platform for FinTech start-ups looking to launch their activities in Luxembourg and beyond.

MSM 697 Sam Alman, III - Gulf Coast Memories 0
Some of Sam Alman's earliest memories are of sleeping upstairs in his family's fledgling soft drink business as the machinery below filled the bottles to be delivered the next day. And his stories of a life spent as part of the Gulf Coast community are filled with love and appreciation for the place he called home.

MSM 696 Spence Lumpkin - Boom and Bust in Carriere 0
1974 – During the timber boom of the early 20th Century, logging camps harvested virgin pine trees across Mississippi. In this episode Carriere native Spence Lumpkin recalls visiting one of the camps as a boy in the early 1930s. Prior to the development of mechanized tree harvesting, giant yellow pines covered Mississippi. Lumpkin describes the way these majestic forests were clear-cut by northern profiteers.
After the timber companies harvested all the pine trees in South Mississippi and moved on, locals searched for new crops to support the economy. Lumpkin discusses how late frosts, insects and hurricanes eventually wiped out the peach, satsuma and tung trees they planted.
As a life-long resident of Carriere, Spence Lumpkin survived several major storms. He remembers the hurricane of 1947, as well as, Betsy and Camille.
MSM 695 G. R. Sullivan - Driving General Eisenhower 0

Will Davis Campbell - The National Council of Churches 0
For as long as he could remember, Will Davis Campbell wanted to be an evangelical preacher in a small southern church. He was ordained by the elders of the East Fork Baptist Church at the age of seventeen and was attending Louisiana College when the United States entered WWII. Campbell volunteered for the army in 1943 and was assigned to a medical unit in the Pacific. While serving in that capacity he read the historical novel Freedom Road by Howard Fast and his views on race relations were challenged "in a very dramatic and lasting fashion."
After the war, Campbell attended Wake Forest, Tulane, and Yale Divinity School. He graduated and was called to be the pastor at a Baptist church in Taylor, Louisiana, but his progressive views on race and the 1954 Brown vs Board of Education decision inspired him to seek a more academic position. Campbell became Chaplin at the University of Mississippi but again his progress stance on the issue of race generated a great deal of controversy. After two and a half years, he resigned and went to work for the National Council of Churches as a field director for race relations, a role that would thrust him into the national spotlight as the Civil Rights Movement began heating up.
1976 – Will Davis Campbell grew up in the East Fork community with plans of becoming a preacher. In this episode he recalls how his thinking on race relations evolved while serving in the army. Campbell became a field director for the National Council of Churches in 1956. He explains how that position brought him to Civil Rights hotspots throughout the South.
In 1957, a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School. Campbell recounts escorting the students through the angry mob gathered out front. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference recruited a group of 125 rabbis, priests, and ministers to come to Albany, Georgia in 1963 to be arrested and immediately bailed out of jail. The plan was to shine a national spotlight on the city's anti-congregation laws. Campbell remembers how Andrew Young allowed the clergymen to remain incarcerated overnight to get the "full activist experience."
MSMO Classic: MSM 592 Joe Berryman - Vaudeville to Chautauquas 0
As a professional musician in the early 20th Century, Joe Berryman faced many challenges. Before the days of airliners and modern highways, just getting to the next gig could take days or even weeks. Please enjoy this classic Mississippi Moments from 2018.
1972 - Dr. Joe Berryman spent his life and career involved with high school, college and professional bands as a musician, composer, instructor, and conductor, as well as, a product representative and developer for several musical instrument manufacturers. After moving to Mississippi, he served as the band director at Itta Bena High School before coming to USM where he became coordinator of the band staff and taught percussion and orchestration. Berryman also worked with the Mississippi Lions All-State Band for well over a decade as director, writing much of the music, himself. At the time this interview was recorded in July of 1972, the band had won first prize at the Lion's International Convention five of the last six years.
In this episode, Berryman discusses his early life and career. He was ten years old in 1914, when his family moved from Texarkana to Meridian. He recalls shipping their automobile and furniture by train because there were no highways. When he decided to become a musician, his parents wouldn't pay for music lessons because they didn't think he was serious. He remembers earning the money by selling magazines and taking the lessons in secret.
In the age of silent movies, musicians would provide live music to match the action on the screen. Berryman describes playing in the orchestra pits of the movie theaters in Kansas City. In addition to showing motion pictures, movie palaces of the day also booked live entertainment. He shares his memories of working the vaudeville houses in Topeka and providing sound effects for a hot-tempered comedian.
PODCAST BONUS: When he was not playing theaters in the 1920s, Berryman travelled with several tents shows around the Midwest. Known as chautauquas, these shows were intended to bring cultural enlightenment to isolated rural communities.

MSM 693 Claude E. Ramsay - Labor Unions and Voting Rights 0
When Claude E. Ramsay sat down with us in April of 1981 to discuss his career and tenure as President of the Mississippi AFL – CIO, the three main topics of that series of interviews were: worker's rights, voting rights, and civil rights. Forty years later, those same three issues are still grabbing headlines across the nation. Whether it is Amazon employees in Alabama trying to unionize, GOP efforts to restrict voting after the 2020 election, the Black Lives Matter movement, or the uptick in violence against Asian, Hispanic, and Jewish communities, the struggle for better working conditions, access to the ballot and freedom from discrimination continues against the same forces using the same tactics and reasoning.
1981 - In 1939, Claude Ramsay went to work for the International Paper Company in Pascagoula. In this episode, he recalls joining the paper-workers union and rising through the ranks to become president. Ramsay was elected President of the Mississippi AFL – CIO in 1959. He discusses working with Medgar Evers to secure voting rights and labor rights for all Mississippians. Ramsay also details his meeting with President Kennedy the day after Evers's assignation.
In 1964, after years of complaints about the anti-union, anti-civil rights biases of WLBT, the AFL – CIO joined the United Church of Christ in petitioning the FCC to revoke the Jackson television station's license. Ramsay explains why they felt it was important to take a stand against "right wing propaganda."
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed employment discrimination based on gender and ethnicity. Ramsay discusses how the law also aided efforts to organize Mississippi's workers.
MSM 692 Albert Russell - Dancing with Starlets, Swimming with the Bull. 0
Through the years, we have delved through our large collection of veteran oral histories, many times, to find impactful war stories that really bring home the hardships and sacrifices of our soldiers and sailors during WWII. This is not one of those episodes. For while Albert Russell did escape calamity on multiple occasions during his service as a navigator aboard a Navy patrol bomber in the Pacific theater, the man clearly had more fun and more good fortune that most during the war. In training, Russell frequently enjoyed the nightlife in Atlanta, Washington DC, and San Francisco. While serving in the Pacific, he met and cavorted with one of Hollywood's most glamorous actresses of the day, Carol Landis, who was touring with a USO group in Australia at the time.

MSM 691 Charles Ainsworth - "The Meanest People in the World" 0
Besides cotton, the timber industry generated more money and jobs in Mississippi during the early 20th Century than any other. When European settlers came to the territory, they found vast stands of virgin long-leaf yellow pine trees. But it took until the late 1800s before the technology was developed to harvest these giant trees for their high-quality lumber. By WWI, hundreds of sawmills covered the Piney Woods and their tree-cutting and turpentine camps often attracted a rough breed of men from around the country, drawn by the lure of plentiful work. Our storyteller for this episode helped build many of the sawmills and railroads used to process and transport this valuable commodity.
1976 - Charles Ainsworth was born in 1885 near Sontag, Mississippi. In this episode, he describes the hard, dangerous work of cutting timber in the Piney Woods.

She explains that spinal taps were often necessary for diagnosis of syphilis and babies often contracted congenital syphilis from their parents.
In 1942. Reece volunteered to become an Army Nurse and was sent to England. She describes caring for wounded soldiers and how she put on a brave face for her patients. After serving as an army nurse, Edith Reece returned to her public health job in Mississippi. She remembers convincing county officials to replace the dilapidated health department in Woodville.

MSM 689 O.C. McDavid - The Jackson Daily News 0
O.C. McDavid never wanted to be THE Editor of the Jackson Daily News because he didn't want to be the face of the paper at official functions, nor did he want to be a firebrand "pulpiteer" in the image of Fred Sullens or Hodding Carter, Jr. Instead, he wanted to be the man who put out the "best newspaper in the world."
1975 - As a boy, O. C. McDavid knew he wanted to pursue a career as a newspaper reporter. In this episode, he remembers going to work for Oliver Emmerich at the McComb Enterprise in 1925, sweeping up in the print shop and learning how to run the press.

MSM 688 Patrick E. Carr - Shot Down Over Budapest 0
From a young age Patrick Carr dreamed of being a pilot in the Army Air Corps, even sending for literature from Jackson when he was twelve. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered WWII, nineteen year old Carr enlisted in the Army Air Corps determined to make that dream a reality.
Unfortunately, Carr washed out of the pilot program because of faulty depth perception. It was then he decided to enter gunnery school instead and became a waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber. This week we dive into his story from this interview recorded on October 4, 1973.
1973 – Patrick Carr grew up on a farm near the small community of Paulding, Mississippi. In this episode, he recalls joining the Army Air Corp and becoming a gunner on a B-24 bomber in 1942.

Carr was held prisoner in a German POW camp (Stalag Luft IV) during the final eight months of WWII. He describes the meager rations they lived on and being slapped around by the guards. As the Russian Army advanced on their camp in the closing days of the war, Carr and his fellow POWs were marched away from the front line by the German guards.

MSM 687 Dr. Cora Norman - Public Humanities in Mississippi 0
During our 50th Anniversary Celebration, the Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage will continue to dig deep into our collection to bring you significant stories of Mississippians from all walks of life.
On the 25th Anniversary of the Mississippi Humanities Council's founding, Dr. Cora Ellen Norman made this observation on being selected as the group's first Executive Director. "If I were being interviewed for [the] job today, there is no one in the humanities in the nation that would hire me. I had no background in the humanities."
Indeed, someone with a master's in chemistry and physics seems an unlikely choice to champion the humanities in our state, but it turned out to be the right choice. Norman brought a passion and commitment to the task of developing programs for the betterment of all our citizens that far outsized her slight stature. In this interview from 1997, recorded soon after her twenty-four-year tenure ended, she pulls no punches in recounting the challenges they faced.
1997 – In 1972, Cora Norman was working in Continuing Education at the University of Mississippi. In this episode, she recounts being hired as director of a new statewide Public Humanities program. Early Mississippi Humanities Council programs focused on improving education. Norman recalls the reluctance of school superintendents to host these public forums.
Convincing civic groups to host Humanities Council events required spending a lot of time in the field. Norman explains how limited staffing made being out of the office even more difficult.
The Mississippi Humanities Council Speaker's Bureau "features our state's finest historians, writers and storytellers talking about a wide variety of subjects related to Mississippi and beyond." Norman reflects with pride on the positive impact the program had during her tenure as director.
Dr. Cora Ellen Norman, 94, passed away on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021.

MSM 683 Hawkins Vickers - Vickers Plant Farm 0
1973 - In 1915 Hawkins Vickers went to work for his brother-in-law selling vegetable plants to local farmers. In this interview from 1973, he explains how that pioneering business model grew into a nationwide industry. Vickers moved to Hattiesburg in 1923 to start his own vegetable plant business. He recalls how two years of bad weather nearly convinced him to return to Georgia.
Raising vegetable plants for industrial farms required mules and manual labor when Vickers started his business in the 1920s. He explains how the development of specialized equipment and growing techniques made their fields more productive and profitable. Vickers would plant vegetable seeds, raise the seedlings to a uniform height, and sell the plants to northern vegetable farms. He discusses the importance of buying seeds from a reputable breeder.
From 1924 until 1966, Vickers Plant Farm was a major source of vegetable plants for northern growers like Campbells, Heinz, and Van Camp. During their busiest year, they shipped over 66 million cabbage plants.
