Brewing has begun at Russian River Brewing Co.'s grand facility in Windsor, but beer lovers will have to wait a few more weeks before they can belly up to the bar in the new taproom to sample its beloved craft beers.
The brewery and restaurant — an 85,000-square-foot building situated on 10 acres off Highway 101 — should be open by Oct. 15, co-owner Natalie Cilurzo said Monday. The tab for the sprawling complex and the innovative German-made brewing system inside that will enable the brewery to double its annual production to 35,000 barrels is more than $30 million.
The opening is arguably the most anticipated event in the American craft beer sector this year, industry insiders say, as well as a massive economic lift for the town of about 30,000 residents.
Russian River is regarded by fans and critics as one of the best craft breweries in the United States. Every February, loyal customers wait in line for hours at its Santa Rosa brewpub to taste the limited release Pliny the Younger triple India Pale Ale specialty brew named after the nephew and adopted son of its flagship beer Pliny the Elder double IPA; that 14th annual spectacle this year generated $3.3 million alone. In 2017, almost 400,000 people visited Russian River's Fourth Street taproom.
The new Windsor brewery, Lopez said, should serve as a tourist attraction in its own right because it will have both guided and self-guided tours of the beer-making operation, providing a sensory experience of seeing and smelling the fermentation process similar to some of the major wineries in the Sonoma County area. He compared it in scope to the large Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. facility in Chico and its sister East Coast brewery/restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina.
"There will be some who will want to check it off their bucket list," he said of craft beer aficionados who will want to visit.
Brewmaster Vinnie Cilurzo, Natalie's husband and co-owner, last week brewed the inaugural batch in Windsor. It was a porter made in an open-top fermenter — a first for Russian River. He followed with two sour beers, a brown ale aged in pinot noir barrels with sour cherries and a dark ale aged in cabernet barrels with currants.
The company held a job fair on Monday at the Huerta Gymnasium in Windsor to hire about 120 people to staff the Windsor brewery/restaurant, including cooks, security, bartenders, servers and a delivery driver.
Eleven workers from the Santa Rosa brewpub will come over to the new sister brewery, Cilurzo said, though none of the longtime bartenders who prefer to stick with their local clientele.
"Downtown is home for a lot of people," she said.
Ben Stone, executive director of the Sonoma County Economic Development Board, previously compared what the Cilurzos have done to boost the county's craft beer sector to how Robert and Margrit Mondavi helped popularize premium wine in Napa Valley.
"They have been to craft beer here in Sonoma County what the Mondavis were to wine in Napa," Stone said of the Russian River Brewing owners.

Once in Vegas, the blog tour group had a personal tour from Zack Elkin, director of brand marketing. He is clearly knowledgable and passionate about Thermador not only as a company and what they stand for, he also feels the same way about the people who work there.
After Zack personally gave us a tour of our Design and Construction Week booth at #KBIS2015, full of inspiring ideas I can use on future projects, we were invited to a private "friend-raising" luncheon at the Las Vegas Country Club. Being treated to a leisurely lunch, away from the hustle of the show was so appreciated. It's probably not a surprise to know it's not easy to impress designers, since we need to have very discerning taste to do our job well. It was obvious from the day my package arrived that Thermador understood. I was impressed.
Below are a my top 3 appliances from Thermador that our blog tour was introduced to.
It's a 7-in-1 dream machine and will appease the most discerning chef. However, if you're like me, you would be happy to just gaze at this beautiful appliance in your kitchen and not cook at all!
Here are just a few highlights: The largest true-flush design refrigeration portfolio in America with more than 20 customizable models • Multiple options available with counter-depth 24-inch and 30- inch fresh food columns; 18-inch, 24-inch and 30-inch freezer columns, and 18-inch and 24-inch wine columns • The industry's first full-width, flexible ice drawer.
Just another amazing innovation showcased is Thermador's micro kitchen and laundry, for those who have size restrictions in their homes. Don't be fooled, there is no sacrificing on high-end quality and style.


The practices at the SAP are best summarized by three words: People, Planet, Profit - from the Triple Bottom Line of sustainability.
Our mission drives us to pursue these sustainable practices.
The People focus is the primary aspect of the SAP. We aim to provide space at the farm that is easily accessible to all students and inclusive of interdisciplinary educational approaches.
Students and faculty are invited to carry out research that is aimed at furthering our mission. Research is documented to share knowledge with the greater GVSU community. We also document our production so that we can improve our methods over time. By experimenting with a variety of production methods, we hope to learn and share ideal practices for our climate and soil type.
Food safety is another integral part of our operation and is taken very seriously to ensure the health of people. The Sustainable Agriculture Project Farm Manager, Youssef Darwich, oversees our food safety program.
Students learn honeybee management at the SAP.
The Planet focus refers to supporting the diverse web of organisms that comprise our farm ecosystem. By focusing on biologically intensive growing methods, we build soil fertility and optimize crop production.
The goal is to nurture the land that we use to grow food, rather than harm it. This includes protecting the water, which drives growth at the farm, as well as observing organic practices in respect of pollinators and insects. These sustainable practices are the foundation of food production at the farm.
Flowers at the SAP helping to attract beneficial organisms.
Finally, the Profit aspect refers to finding practices that fit our ecological and educational requirements, while also making a profit.
Profitability is what keeps a farm economically sustainable; thus, we are continually exploring outlets for our produce and improving our production systems. We hope to explore the profitability of a variety of sustainable growing methods to benefit the larger community.
Interns managing the market and selling SAP produce for profit.

What Is Your Level Of Intuition?
The Psychic power is a mysterious concept and very few people are born with this power. The word "Psychic" has its origin from the Greek word "psychikos" which means "of or pertaining to the soul". It refers to those people who have the skill to recognise the hidden facts and can predict future through the use of extrasensory perception (ESP). In fact the ESP or psychic power is not referred to the physical sense but it is an extra sense of mind.
There are many people who are born with the psychic power but they are not aware of their psychic abilities. Sometimes the concept of the psychic power may peep in your mind and have asked yourself "am I psychic or intuitive"? The answer to this question may be confusing. You can be clairvoyant but you are not able make proper use of your inner psychic ability. In fact there is very close relationship between being intuitive and being psychic. If you lean more towards your intuition then you might increase your psychic abilities.
If you want to know and read about your psychic ability then there are various types of psychic tests. You can find out your own psychic abilities with the help of colors also. In fact colors tend to be an interesting thing and easier for people to recognise rather than shapes as the colors are optical experiences and are easily created by your brains.
"Color ESP Test" is designed in a detailed way to test whether you have got any paranormal abilities or not and to what extent you have that power. So check out your own clairvoyance with our "Color ESP Test". This application will help you to know whether you are little different from others by possessing the psychic ability. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try right now. It is free!!

"Thanks for being SO GREAT!
Thank you for such a pleasant experience. It's not often that you leave an office disappointed you won't be back, but that's the case with me. Everyone was so nice and professional and provided the right care. Kudos to you all.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Donley to anyone who needs a technical dental procedure. She is by far the most talented, professional, caring, detail oriented medical professional I have ever worked with. Thank you for making what I consider an unpleasant procedure into a brief and painless experience.
I did my own research and called several places before I chose to place my trust in Dr.Donley. For starters I was most impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of Marci, the front office manager. She helped cement my decision to have Dr.Donley perform my root canal. My next, positive experience was with the dental assistant, Chanel, whose confident and friendly disposition and willingness to answer my questions reassured me that I was in good hands. Based on all the answers to my questions about the condition of my tooth, I decided to have the procedure done without anesthesia. Dr. Donley performed her magic, with Chanel's diligent assistance, without causing me pain. What helped greatly was Dr.Donley's frequent warnings about even the slightest possible discomfort. While I did not experience any pain, her informative and reassuring approach kept me from getting anxious at any time throughout the treatment. I must add that I have not had even a moment of discomfort or pain after the root canal! I highly recommend Dr.Donley and her great team to anyone needing the services of an endodontist.
Thank you so much for all your kind help and expertise in fixing my tooth.
I really appreciate all of you. It feels so much better today.
I will be careful of it.
You have the best operation I have run into. You truly do magic.
Thank you for taking care of my endodontic procedure for me.
The reference from my dentist was certainly justified. I appreciate your professionalism and your level of expertise in your field.
Pain was minimal the day of the procedure and I have no pain today, the day after.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Donely for a root canal. I was apprehensive going into this and Dr. Donley and staff made me feel welcome and comfortable.
Thank you so much for taking good care of me. In the beginning I was so scared, but you did everything to make me feel relaxed.
Thank you for being a real professional and knowable. You performed excellent job to save my problem tooth last year and fixed my another painful tooth this year. Also I would like to mention advanced technology and sophisticated equipment which you use in your office to be less invasive and more effective.
Also I am very appreciated to Chanel, Dr. Donley assistant, who make me feel comfortable and Marcy who helped me to find suitable for my busy schedule time of appointments and took care all insurance documents.
You are great team! I highly recommend Dr. Donley office for all my friends and family.
My whole experience from the first phone call to paying the bill was a "first Class" experience. You can bet I will be telling my friends about the best and nicest place to have a root canal. All three of you have very nice and pleasant personalities as well as perform top notch work. The whole thing was very professional. Thank you for making me personally feel like I was your only patient.
Hopefully you all will get this!
I would like to say Thank you. From my first appointment to my actual root canal, you were all so friendly to me.
I appreciate being told what to expect and when I was going to feel anything different than normal.
I appreciate you believing me when I told you if past traumatizing experiences and working with me to make sure I was comfortable before you started my procedure.
I appreciate being treated like a person and not just an account number.
Thank you again for helping restore my faith in the dental community. I truly do appreciate every little thing you did to help me.
I, like anybody else didn't really want two root canals. BUT, I had no pain and this office was great. Very caring and will tell you step by step what they are doing if you want to know or just do the procedure if you don't want to know every step. I highly recommend Dr. Donley and her staff. Great group of people.
Great office, great team! Thank you!
What a lovely place you all run!
Dr. Kristi Donley is the best. I couldn't want anything more from this endodontist. She worked with me to improve my bite. And when I had an emergency, she came in early, did an emergency root canal, and worked with my dentist to replace my broken crown. The staff was kind, comforting, and informative and kept constant watch for pain (there never was any!). I was in and out in two hours. The price was very fair. I highly recommend her. And my regular dentist was impressed by her work, as well.
Thank you again for your patience, attention, expert skill. I'm sorry you had to award me the dubious honor of top five most difficult.
Please know I'll get on a plan with my general dentist and I will take this tooth to my grave.
Thank you again. Especially for not making this whole ordeal as scary as I had made it in my head.
Due to a medical condition that leads to inflammation, even in the roots of the teeth, I have had many root canals in the past 15 years. The last 6 were done by Dr. Donley, and BY FAR it has been the best experience compared to other endodontists I have seen. She is calm, patient, and really understands. She will do lots of things to help manage the tooth before it gets to the point of needing the root canal. Once it is at that point, Dr. Donley does a wonderfully thorough job. Other staff in the office are excellent as well.
Thank you so much for the professional work you performed today. It was pain free and uneventful! I'll recommend you to my friends and family.
Thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice and the wonderful care. I look forward to my healthy mouth under your care.
Thank you soo much for helping me with my tooth! I haven't had pain since. I'm so happy.
Thank you for the professional courtesy that you extended to me. I realize that mine was not a "typical" root canal procedure and I greatly appreciate what you did for me.
Thank you for your talent, skill and expertise. I appreciate your good, kind and gentle work and your office as a whole. Everyone made a difficult situation a pleasant experience.
"Make yourself necessary to someone"
PS. You certainly fulfill the above statement Dr. Donley!
I just wanted to properly thank you for the skillful, kind and thoughtful care you provided. I appreciate your sensitivity regarding my financial situation. The generous discount you extended was a compassionate gesture.
I am sincerely grateful for your help.
I will never be able to tell you how thankful I am for you fixing my tooth. I was having a lot of pain and was losing hope of being able to keep my tooth. I really didn't want to loose it because as you know, I've lost a few back teeth already and I am still young. I am so grateful, Kristi!
Thank you for the Sterilox and your kindness. It really helped with the blisters.
Thank you again for your fabulous presentation on Endo. You did an awesome job, the students loved you!
I had a great experience at your office and I already told my wife if she ever needs a root canal, you are the ones for the job (also anybody at work that asks).
The experience with Eastside Endodontics exceeded all expectations. You have a great staff and it really is a pleasure visiting your office. Please convey my compliments to your staff, and thank you (especially) for trying to save my tooth. I would recommend your services without reservation to anyone that asked.
Thank you for getting it all done in one day and so thoroughly. I had put this off long enough. Everything went well and so far so good.
Thank you Kristi for the excellent service, and the great outcome…much appreciated!!!
I am very thankful to you for seeing me on such short notice and for alleviating the temperature sensitivity on that upper right tooth. That has been the biggest blessing ever! Thanks again.
I want to thank you so much for the care that I received from each of you before, during and after my root canal. I only wished that I had found your office earlier as it turned out to be not an easy process for me to go through. I believe that without your special care I don't think that I could have finished the root canal process. From the minute that my daughter Allie called your office and talked with Marcy she knew right away that we had found a very special place. I will certainly pass along your contact information to anyone who inquires about needing a root canal.
You were all wonderful – thanks for the caring, kindness and complete professional acumen! Tooth feels great – but I will refrain from my Jaw Breakers habit for at least a few weeks while it heals.
I am very fortunate to have Dr. Donley work on my tooth problem. You're the best ! And I have been bragging to my friends how you did a marvelous job especially 2 years ago when I first had a tooth problem that was unbearable. Dr. Donley fixed the problem and made it go away, I feel no pain now and life is good! I will surely take care of the tooth that was just fixed yesterday and be gentle with it. "Dr. Donley you are wonderful and your staff". Thank you very much for making all the pain go away.
Marcy and Chanel thank you very much for all the help. You ladies are very friendly and helpful!
Thanks for the care and attention yesterday. Once the anesthesia kicked in, I did not feel any pain. Many thanks for making my time "in the chair" the most relaxing time of my week thus far, and for sharing the Comfortably Numb experience.
Thank you Kristi for the excellent service, and the great outcome…much appriciated!!!
Thanks to all for the great care you gave me. While it wasn't a bad opportunity I hope I don't need to do it again soon. If I do, I'll be back to you guys. You were great.
Thank you all again for the wonderful care you gave me.
Thanks, my tooth is doing well. Yes, a bit tender still, but getting better. What a relief. Much apprecaited.
Marcy~ It was wonderful to see you both yesterday! David was just fine after getting home and we both thought the experience was top-notch. We will see you in 6 months. Thanks for such good care and conversation!
Thanks for your considerable thoughtfullness & concern. I really enjoyed the being "looked after" part of being with you. That was even nicer than other parts of the morning..
And of course I'll be gentle, it's how I am - and it's my only mouth.
just not 1105 12th Ave.
Appreciate all the great care from everyone.
You guys are the best. I'm really glad we came to see you.
Thank you! Kristi, you did a great job, especially since you didn't have your support tech with you. I would not hesitate to highly recommend you to others.
Thank you too, Marcy, for keeping me abreast of my insurance information - very helpful!
I like the feel of your office. It seems like it is very much a team effort with everyone working well together.
I have had no pain at all, but just as you said, it's a bit tender. I will take care to "baby" it for a while.
Thanks again, for your care and concern!
Thank you for your very kind note my tooth is feeling so much better, it's amazing! (No more strong "zings" from hot & cold!) I still haven't tried to chew on that side very much, so I'm really taking it easy on that tooth for now.
Marcy~Thank you very much for all that you have done for me from calling me back after-hours on day one, to working me into Dr. Donley's schedule in order to have me seen right away and for your patience and kindness when doing so! Your presence in the office is very calming, when I entered my anxieties always seemed to lessen when we chatted.
You are wonderful at what you do.
Thank you so much for welcoming us into your office. Your calm, motherly demeanor certainly helped put us at ease. You (all) are such an essential part of the practice!
Yeh...for the first time in 2 months, I DO NOT HAVE A TOOTH?JAW ACHE. Thank you, thank you, thank you.....next time I am going to call you FIRST.
As usual, if anyone can enjoy a dental experience, I enjoy coming to your office. I am wishing that you did regular dental work, but I am so glad that you continue to take care of "my roots"...Much appreciation back to all of you. I love feeling that tooth finally be smooth. Thank you all soooo much.
Thank you to all! I like you all so much - makes something that could potentially be a negative experience into one I enjoy(ed)!!! You're the bomb, Dr. D., and Marcy and Chanel ROCK!!
Thanks for all the info….You gals are great! It is really nice to have someone explain things so thoroughly.
I want to thank all of you for a going against the norm of stereotyped bad experiences of "root canals". All of you made it a comfortable and doable procedure. The numbness is all but worn off and there is no pain.
I enjoyed meeting you and your fine staff. Thank you very much for the consultation and help with my tooth.
Thank you for the gracious and kind treatment from you and everyone in your office. I've not ever had such a great experience when it comes to dental care. It was a comfort to know that I was in good hands!
Thank you for your note, but it is I that should be thanking you for taking such good care of me. I am always impressed with the professional way you and your entire staff go about your business. You are the best.
I recovered nicely from the root canal. Thank you for the great customer service! Hopefully I won't see you in a while! Enjoy!
I didn't notice anymore bleeding and the tooth didn't really hurt. I took a couple Tylenol later for a headache and it hurt a little to open my mouth very wide, but no complaints. Thanks again.
I have had a good experience since my new dental work was done. Very little discomfort the day after and my tooth seems to be in good order.
Thank you very much for your super services. I'm satisfied with the procedures. The recovery is going well.
See you in 6 mos.
Thanks for your diligence in caring for me.
I spoke with my perio provider @ UWDental School.
She said that the gingavectomy can grow back eventually and she also saw that front tooth you mentioned and thought your idea of flossing there would be good. She also said that eating on the right is a good idea instead of the left which I am doing.
So surprised, no pain from this morning!
Thank you- I got your sweet message... Things are really good. Nothing more than a bit of tenderness so I will be careful.
Thank you for the excellent care you gave me yesterday. Please apologize to Kristi for me missing her call. I got home and climbed into bed and slept.
All the very best to you all and all your loved ones for 2016.
"Dr. Kristi Donley is the best. I couldn't want anything more from this endodontist.
"I just wanted to properly thank you for the skillful, kind and thoughtful care you provided.
I appreciate your sensitivity regarding my situation. The generosity that you extended was a compelling gesture.
"Thank you for the Sterilox and your kindness. It really helped with the blisters.

Bao'an Cultural Complex in Shenzhen
Architecture: Rocco Design Architects Associates
Rocco Design Architects Associates's (RDA) Performing Arts Centre, flagship of the Bao'an Cultural Complex, opened on 17 September 2021 in Shenzhen, China.
Bao'an Cultural Complex
Overlooking Quanhai Bay and the South China Sea, the building anchors the southern end of the cultural complex. It houses Shenzhen's first performance hall to be scaled and equipped for international operas, as well as a 600-seat venue and rehearsal facilities. The 28,000-square-metre building will host opera, dance, symphonies, and dramatic performances.
The design takes inspiration from the long and narrow waterfront site. The base of the building is a low-slung, wave-like volume that carries a sense of rhythm and movement along the campus's axis. A delicately perforated facade hearkens back to ancient Chinese craft like wood and ivory carving and produces dramatic visual effects recalling light shimmering on the bay.
The scrim-like envelope modulates transparency according to the spaces it encloses, creating openings at the public lobbies and gathering areas and becoming more opaque at the theatres and rehearsal spaces. While formally and technically innovative, the facade concept is rooted in traditional Chinese building screens and shadow walls.
A fly tower tilted 15-degrees off the vertical creates a point-of-orientation that announces the centre as the focal point on campus. Sky-bridges connect the tower to the main volume, offering commanding views over the bay. Gathering areas and elevated porticos line the base of the building, and a restaurant sits at the end of a sloping volume that extends into the plaza, weaving the building into the larger campus.
Visitors enter through a soaring triple-height lobby. A grand curving staircase and billowing walls finished with wooden slats continue the undulating character of the exteriors. Natural light from above filters in through the perforated facade, creating a lively play of shadow across the space.
The main performance hall will host high-profile productions of opera, classical music, and ballet. Its delicately sculpted walls accentuate the organic geometries of the space and optimize acoustic conditions by muffling background noise and enhancing sonic clarity. The stage comprises six double-layered lifts that can be raised and lowered within a range of ten meters, opening new production possibilities. The orchestra pool can be raised to the height of the main stage to extend the performance area into the house.
A 600-seat theatre complements the main performance hall. This space is designed for flexibility to accommodate experimental productions. The stage and seating can be easily rearranged, enabling catwalk, four-sided stage, immersive, and interactive theatre experiences.
About the Bao'an Cultural District
The Performing Arts Centre is part of the Bao'an Cultural District, a 110,000-square-meter arts and performance complex in Bao'An, a newly developed coastal area of Shenzhen. The project was masterplanned and designed by Rocco Design Architects and includes three major new destinations: the Performing Arts Centre, a Library, and a Youth Palace. The Library was completed in 2013 and the Youth Palace in 2018.

" Are you running into resistance?
" Do you turn into it or away from it?
" What does it mean if there is no resistance?
If ever there was a book leaders in God's work should read it is "Learning to Face Adversity" by Dave Wagner. His exposition on Nehemiah is a classic and so up to date with statements like 'We become respecters of persons of means. We become respecters of plans and will accept almost any compromise to attain peace." My favorite is "Sorry leaders do not lead with their assets; instead, they demand sacrifices from others." Do yourself a favor -order "Learning to Face Adversity" as soon as you can.

Sunday Morning Bobblehead Thread
Let's see who is framing the debate this week, shall we?
We talked to Naomi Klein about her book, The Shock Doctrine, when it was first published. And it's stuck with me since.
This week, I've watched large swaths of my state burn down without a mention from the man in the Oval Office, or a declaration of a federal disaster. I've watched the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico desperately tweet every high profile media type she could think of to raise awareness of how badly they still need assistance to shame the federal government into more action than giving each other manicures. I've watched the same insane narcissist go from crowing about how his presidency has resulted in the stock market reaching "UNHEARD OF" heights to crowing about stocks plunging in value for an industry that makes up 6 percent of GDP. He's a one man shock doctrine.
Naomi Klein and host Ana Marie Cox go into more detail about that on Cox's podcast "With Friends Like These", specifically on how this kind of disaster capitalism was in the works in Puerto Rico before the storms and the hurricanes have allowed it to go into overdrive. I recommend listening.
The shock doctrine is happening again, but with awareness, we can fight it.

By: Richard Paul Evans
Michael must save his mother--and protect his powers--in the electric sequel to the #1 "New York Times "bestselling "Michael Vey," from Richard Paul Evans.
"I rolled over to my back, struggling for breath. The pain continued to pulse through my body--a heavy throb followed by a sharp, crisp sting."
"The man said, "Trust me, there are worse things in this world than Cell 25.""
Michael, Taylor, Ostin, and the rest of the Electroclan have escaped from the Elgen Academy in Pasadena and are headed back to Idaho to plan their next move. But what's waiting for them there will change everything.
After using their wits and powers to narrowly escape an Elgen trap, a mysterious voice leads the Electroclan to the jungles of Peru in search of Michael's mother. Once there, they discover that Dr. Hatch and the Elgen are far more powerful than anyone realizes; entire countries have begun to fall under their control. Only the Electroclan and an anonymous voice now stand in the way of the Elgen's plan for global domination.
But is the voice that Michael is following really an ally, or is it just another Elgen trap?""

50 panchayat members quit in Kashmir
Srinagar, Sept 25 (IANS): More than 50 panchayat members in the Kashmir valley were on Tuesday believed to have resigned in panic after the killing of a colleague, prompting worries about security for the 34,000 village representatives elected last year in the State's first panchayat polls in three decades.
Two days after Muhammad Shafi Teli was shot dead in Baramulla on Sunday, an Urdu daily on Tuesday carried 38 paid advertisements announcing the resignations of panchayat heads and other members in the valley. The widely circulated Urdu daily Kashmir Umza also said it had received 58 such resignations from elected village representatives.
Teli was the fifth elected village representative killed by guerrillas since the elections last year.
As separatist guerrillas continue targeting village representatives, the Jammu and Kashmir government is grappling with the problem of providing security cover to 34,000 of them, elected last year in an exercise believed to have revived democracy at the grassroots level in the state after 30 years.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has now said the question of providing security to village representatives would be discussed during the next meeting of the unified headquarters - the apex security grid in the state comprising the army, paramilitary forces, state police and both central and state intelligence officials.
Abdullah has come under attack from the main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) for hyping the overwhelming participation of people in the panchayat elections
"They have been used as sacrificial animals. The state government took all the credit for the overwhelming participation of the people in the panchayat elections and then delayed devolution of powers to the elected representatives," said senior PDP leader Muzaffar Hussain Baig.
"The militants are targeting them as sitting ducks since the people who elected them are disenchanted with the process. They feel the elected persons have no powers to redress their grievances," he added.
Baig said his party also felt guilty for encouraging people to participate in the panchayat election.
In the last 22 years of separatist violence in Kashmir, scores of mainstream leaders have been provided armed guards to protect them. Families of local pandits who did not migrate out of the valley during the Pandit exodus during early 1990s are also provided security.
"But the question of providing individual security to around 34,000 elected village 'panches' and 'sarpanches' is something that is practically not possible. Imagine, if just two armed guards are detailed on the security of each elected village representative that would mean posting 68,000 armed guards on the task," said a senior police officer.
"This is slightly less than the total strength of the constabulary in the state police," he added.

Mosquitos Bite
by SLPL_DigitalLibrarySvcs June 24, 2017
There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes. There are three types that bear the responsibility for spreading mosquito-borne diseases to humans. Protect yourself from these blood sucking insects with these titles from our digital collections.
Look out for these public enemy's-mosquitoes-as they are after blood! Mosquito females need a meal of blood before they can lay their eggs. They target humans and animals and zoom in for a feast. But these insects may do more harm than causing itchy welts. Mosquitoes can also pass along a number of serious and deadly diseases to those they bite. Humans have developed a number of ways to get rid of mosquitoes, from spreading chemicals to putting mosquito larvae-eating fish in ponds. Yet mosquitoes are also a food source for many animals. Without these pests, birds, bats, and other animals in the food chain might be affected. In this exciting book, you can learn what makes mosquitoes similar to and different from other insects. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about mosquitoes' bodies, both inside and out. And you can perform activities that help you understand how mosquitoes feed and what you can do to keep them away. Learn more about this exciting member of nature's fascinating Insect World!
Protect yourself, your children, your pets, and your home from bugs — without using harsh or toxic chemicals! Herbalist Stephanie Tourles offers 67 simple recipes for safe, effective bug repellents you can make at home from all-natural ingredients. For protection from mosquitos, ticks, and other biting insects, there are sprays, balms, body oils, and tinctures, with scents ranging from eucalyptus to floral, lemon, vanilla, and woodsy spice. There are also recipes for pets, such as herbal shampoo, bedding formulas, and flea-and-tick collars and powders. And Tourles includes repellents for the home, such as sachets that repel moths, carpet powders that repel fleas and ants, and essential oil repellents to keep your pantry pest-free. A detailed ingredient dictionary explains the properties of all the herbs, essential oils, and other key ingredients.
In North America, mosquito bites are usually only a nuisance. But in areas such as Africa and Southeast Asia, the bite can be deadly. There, many mosquitoes transmit a disease called malaria-and malaria can be a killer. In Africa, one child dies from malaria every thirty seconds. Worldwide, more than one million people die from malaria each year. What can be done to stop this global killer? This book examines how public health organizations work to protect people from malaria-carrying mosquitoes, how doctors care for people who do get malaria, and how researchers try to better understand and fight malaria. But malaria presents a complex puzzle for researchers. The parasite that causes malaria takes several different forms and can damage the body in many ways. Malaria does its worst damage among people in poor nations. These countries often have inadequate public health and medical systems, making prevention and treatment difficult. In addition, children who are sick with malaria cannot go to school. Adults with malaria cannot work. Thus malaria often pushes poor people deeper into poverty. Author Connie Goldsmith is a nurse and a medical writer. In Battling Malaria, Goldsmith tackles the topic with an expert's eye. She describes cutting-edge research, medications, and public health measures that might someday defeat malaria for good.
Of the 620,000 soldiers who perished during the American Civil War, the overwhelming majority died not from gunshot wounds or saber cuts, but from disease. And of the various maladies that plagued both armies, few were more pervasive than malaria -- a mosquito-borne illness that afflicted over 1.1 million soldiers serving in the Union army alone. Yellow fever, another disease transmitted by mosquitoes, struck fear into the hearts of military planners who knew that "yellow jack" could wipe out an entire army in a matter of weeks. In this ground-breaking medical history, Andrew McIlwaine Bell explores the impact of these two terrifying mosquito-borne maladies on the major political and military events of the 1860s, revealing how deadly microorganisms carried by a tiny insect helped shape the course of the Civil War. Soldiers on both sides frequently complained about the annoying pests that fed on their blood, buzzed in their ears, invaded their tents, and generally contributed to the misery of army life. Little did they suspect that the South's large mosquito population operated as a sort of mercenary force, a third army, one that could work for or against either side depending on the circumstances. Malaria and yellow fever not only sickened thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers but also affected the timing and success of certain key military operations.

Most Australian ground transport operators/carriers levy fuel surcharges on shippers' freight charges.
These controversial surcharges are largely misunderstood, with good reason: Most carriers do not differentiate between short- and long-haul service when providing fuel cost estimates as a percent of customers' total freight costs. Instead, they provide a single fuel cost percent to measure cost movements from period to period.
Heavy vehicle fuel consumption ranges widely, from approximately 25 to 40 litres per 100 kilometres of travelled, depending on vehicle carrying capacity, freight density and distance travelled.
Fuel costs vary in the total cost of operating a heavy vehicle (typically, 15-20 percent of short-haul operators' costs but about 50 percent of long-haul operators').
Despite the data-capture challenges, it's important to understand the ratio of short- versus long-haul kilometres travelled; how carriers define, calculate and apply fuel levies; and why poorly calculated surcharges can increase your freight rates by up to 20 percent.
In essence, carriers apply fuel levies to adjust their freight charges, offset the cost of operating heavy equipment and hedge their pricing and revenue risk in their low-profit-margin industry, where ever-present fuel cost risk can make the difference between making and losing money.
By applying its own base fuel price (surcharge), a carrier in theory seeks to measure their future fuel prices by setting the surcharge at the price of fuel that applied at the date they submitted their rate card to the customer. But many transport operators publish a rate card with a base fuel price that existed at some time in the distant past (often several years ago). Carriers rationalize that applying one base fuel price for all customers simplifies their administrative burden; but this practice effectively ensures that a fuel surcharge will be levied on all rates, irrespective of their effective date. The approach is especially puzzling, since a freight rate is made up of a combination of fixed costs (depreciation, interest, registration, insurance, etc.) and variable or running costs (repairs and maintenance, tyres, fuel, etc.) and all of these costs (except fuel) are deemed current at the rate card's effective date. Why treat fuel differently? In short, what started as a cost recovery mechanism has become a very effective revenue-raising mechanism.
While some operators apply the APAC-based Singapore benchmark price of diesel (Gasoil)—the most closely aligned benchmark to Australian diesel fuel prices— to calculate fuel surcharges, others apply different fuel price benchmarks with little direct bearing on the price of diesel in Australia.
Carriers also apply fuel cost weighting—a percentage of their fuel costs—to the entire transport task, irrespective of the nature of the freight task.
1. Test the market by obtaining quotes from other carriers to find out how other operators apply their fuel levies. You will be surprised at what you discover.
2. Review and renegotiate the current fuel price and source with your current provider(s) using the Australian Institute of Petroleum website.
3. Ask your transport operator to provide a "fuel levy inclusive" rate card and reset the base fuel price at current pricing.
4. Confirm the percentage of long-haul work (>500km radius) versus short haul (<500km radius) work in your current transport task. Based on this, be prepared to renegotiate the fuel cost percentage with your current provider(s).
1. Subtract the base fuel price from the current fuel price, for example: (133.6 – 121.9), where 121.9 is the base fuel price and 133.6 is the current price.
3. Multiply this percentage by the fuel weighting as advised by the supplier – 9.5% * 17% = .016 or 1.6%.
In this case, the fuel surcharge (for a typical one-month period) is 1.6 percent, the amount that is added to a published rate.
If you're concerned about overpaying, it might pay to ask yourself when your transport provider last increased your rates. If you can't remember, your monthly fuel levy is likely more than compensating your provider. And, if my experience is any guide, it may be a sign of a wider issue with your transport costs.

Another weekend, another double header. After last Sunday's awesomely fun course, I was really excited to do a few more races. This time the course was at the University of Calgary campus and would be the same course for both races. To spice it up, the first race would be held in the dark (at night) and the second would be held in the light (during the day).
In addition to the usual tight corners, run overs, and off camber lines, the course featured a heinously tight, off camber left hand turn, and a dreadful, extended run through a sandpit. But that didn't scare me. What scared me was that there was a curb on the course.
I chose c). Miraculously, it worked. As a bonus, I convinced a friend, Tanya, that she could do the same. We had a blast on what was an insanely fun course and conquered the curb on every lap.
The night race (The Dark Knight) was the most fun of any race that I've tried so far. Excellent for spectators - with glowstick-covered cyclists visible in all directions and a DJ pumping in the background.
I came away with two sixth place finishes (though I must have been going too fast to be noticed at the finish), which I was happy about. I also came away a better cyclist and a little less terrified of curbs. Not bad for two days in October.

The Desire to Work in the United States Is Still an Unbroken Quirk for Indian TechiesImmigration
The harsh rules on work visas proposed by the Trump administration are apparently is not refraining Indian techies from showing interest to enter the United States.
A recent data by Indeed.com revealed that between April 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019, 3.7 percent of the total clicks on the United States-based tech jobs on the job portal came from India.
At 0.6 percent, Canada trailed at a distant second in clicks coming from IP addresses outside the U.S.

The Trump administration in the past few months has made it harder for foreign workers to get the highly sought-after H-1B visa, which allows a professional to live and work in the United States for up top six years. Indians are the biggest beneficiaries of the H-1B visa.
However, in January-March 2019, Indian techies' clicks on the jobs based in the United States fell by nearly 8 percent year-on-year on Indeed.com. Techies from the United Kingdom and Pakistan were even less inclined to apply than those from India.
Meanwhile, Germany, France, and Russia posted the largest year-over-year increases in their shares of clicks on the U.S. tech job listings, each up over 25 percent.

Types of Jobs
"Foreign interest appears to be highest for difficult-to-fill tech jobs," the report said. Data show there is a higher foreign click share on job listings that have lower clicks overall.

Besides, tech jobs with higher average salaries also had higher foreign clicks. "This relationship may reflect visa requirements," the report said. "Visas, such as the H-1B, are expensive to process. To make it worthwhile to an employer, these workers should be highly skilled and worth the cost."
Engineer and developer roles were most sought after while technician and support roles drew the least attention among foreigner jobseekers, as per Indeed's analysis of tech jobs with a minimum of 50,000 total clicks.

Recepción
El crítico de la revista Variety, Robert Koehler, elogió "el exitoso debut de Tariq Teguia. . . Aunque los momentos finales son previsibles, tanto la llegada como las secuelas inmediatas muestran a Teguia como un director prometedor". Koehler también aprobó las "[actuaciones] naturalistas y tranquilas" de Kaddoui y Amrani.  En Slant Magazine, sin embargo, Eric Henderson consideró que la película fue "concebida con arrogancia, ejecutada con pretensiones y prolongada con petulancia".

Two arrested for plotting murder of Phoolan Devi witness
Hardwar, May 2 (UNI) A plot to kill Ms Uma Kashyap, prime witness in the Phoolan Devi murder case, was today foiled by the Special Operation Group (SOG) with the arrest of two persons, including an advocate.
The team, led by R B Chamola, arrested advocate Anuj Pundir and his accomplice, Javed Ansari alias Babbu, from Roorkee at about 1200 hrs.
Talking to mediapersons, SP (city) J R Joshi, said, police had been tapping conversations between Sher Singh Rana, prime accused in Phoolan Devi murder case, and Pundir.
Pundir confessed Rana had asked him to kill Ms Kashyap besides arranging telephonic conservations between Javed and Rana. Javed said Rana had struck a deal with him under which he was to get Rs one lakh in advance and an amount of Rs 50,000 after the murder was carried out, Javed said.
Javed, who was also involved in the dacoity in a college of Roorkee in 2004, said the murder plan was to be executed before May 5.
A case under sections 120-B, 302 and 115 of the IPC has been registered against them in the Gang Nahar police station, Roorkee.
The SP has announced a cash reward of Rs 2,500 for the SOG.
MS Kashyap had reportedly gone with Rana to the residence of Phoolan Devi and was present when she was shot dead by him. After the murder, she expressed fear that she might be killed by him.
Though the district police provided security to her, it was withdrawn after she got involved in some criminal cases in the district.
On April, 25, Ms Kashyap was again provided with security as Rana was arrested by the Delhi police on the same day, the SP said.

People Power—the Driving Force of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Successful technology implementations at manufacturing sites are not typically designed to replace workers, but instead give them new capabilities and tools.
Katy George
The technology that is powering the fourth industrial revolution is now widely available and the value is clear—sensor and automation technologies are bringing new opportunities to update brownfield manufacturing sites across sectors and geographies around the world. Yet, many manufacturers are struggling to fully integrate the technology of the fourth industrial revolution more fully into their organizations: 70 percent of those who have introduced the technologies are finding themselves stuck in 'pilot purgatory', an unfortunate state in which companies keep launching pilots, but are unable to scale up across a single location—let alone an entire organization.
If many media reports are to be believed, these technologies are soon to take over fully, and the world's workforce will need to make way for robot overlords. The future is a grim, people-free workplace, with fully automated, AI-driven lights-out facilities.
The reality paints a different picture. Successful technology implementations at manufacturing sites are not typically designed to replace workers, but instead, give them new capabilities and tools. While our research shows that many manufacturing processes can be automated—as much 90 percent by 2030—this is the automation of tasks, not jobs, freeing up the workforce to focus on innovation and tasks that require dynamic decision-making skills.
Perhaps the fear prevails because there are so few examples being shared of how technology adoption is actually taking place in industrial sites. With this in mind, a collaborative research effort was launched between McKinsey and the World Economic Forum to survey 1,000 global manufacturing sites around the world. We sought sites so advanced in their use of technology, analytics, and, yes, robots that they could stand out as beacons among their industry peers. We found 16—the "Lighthouse sites" of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in manufacturing.
While this number is small, the value created with technology is exceeding industry benchmarks with overall productivity increases up to 160 percent, and they are illuminating a common path to unlock these gains. In the spirit of collaboration and partnership with the WEF, these sites opened their doors to share what they know.
What emerges from the lighthouse examples are the shared values of augmenting the operator and democratizing technology. Schneider Electric—a lighthouse site based in France—is giving employees the opportunity to create their own solutions on the shop floor. This collaborative effort resulted in the fast adoption of the new technologies, with a focus on benchmarking and analysis to drive improvements. Similarly, Proctor & Gamble created a smart lab complete with demos of digital technologies and invited all of their operators and employees to visit. There, they asked their workforce to think about what problems automation could solve and identify opportunities the technology might give them to boost productivity.
In other examples, big data produced by connected machines is empowering new methods of decision making. At Proctor & Gamble's lighthouse facility in the Czech Republic, digital direction-setting tools show live KPIs on touchscreens directly on the shop floor, allowing users to explore the data on multiple levels and understand the root causes of deviations. In marked contrast to lengthy data-gathering activities, these tools also eliminate human bias and errors.
The use of new technologies is driving more than increased output, as several of our lighthouse organizations demonstrate—increased flexibility allows them to innovate ahead of and in response to market demands. At Haier in China, a 64 percent increase in productivity, 33 percent shorter lead times and 21 percent fewer defects all contributed to the creation of an innovative new business model, with a web-based B2C sales channel for configuring and ordering its products. And at Proctor & Gamble, an increase in productivity through the use of 4IR technologies was able to secure jobs, by maintaining the plant's relevance in the face of shifting consumer demands and market pressure.
Today's innovative production tools and new ways of working have the potential to reframe careers in manufacturing. Instead of dirty, dull, and dangerous, working at a manufacturing site can now be a day spent on innovation and real-time problem-solving. This would not be the first time that a leap in manufacturing know-how led to a better use of human creativity. When Toyota's lean production system principles swept across both the manufacturing and service sectors, the companies that were able to replicate the secret sauce did so by giving more responsibility to their front-line teams.
And so, in this current period of transition, we see a similar recipe for success—and a focus on reskilling. Tata Steel's Dutch plant recognized that building the capabilities of large numbers of people was essential in its digital transformation. Rather than hire an army of new data experts, it empowered its skilled workers with new tools—new sources of data at their fingertips for decision making. Tata created the Advanced Analytics Academy to pair theoretical background and practical work, and have trained over 200 engineers, translators, and data scientists.
The first-mover lighthouse organizations are already well on their way to delivering significant jumps in productivity, and they are setting a new standard for an engaged workforce and job satisfaction. By empowering and reskilling their workforce, they create new economic and societal value, and are on the cusp of capturing the huge potential value available from 4IR technology. To build on the success of these frontrunners, the time for action by other manufacturers is now. And the key to that success will be their people.
