Two 911 dispatchers were suspended for failing to notify police about a brawl at a Southwest Side park last month that left a teenager in a coma, Chicago emergency officials said today.
One of the dispatchers was given a 20-day suspension and the other was given 15 days in connection with the July 14 incident at Durkin Park, 8445 S. Kolin Ave., when nearly a half-hour elapsed before police arrived to quell a melee, according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
"This incident is simply unacceptable," Tony Ruiz, executive director of the office, said in a statement. "It is the nature of this incident, and the manner in which these dispatchers failed to do their jobs that demanded a stern response."
The two dispatchers are serving their suspensions, but will be able to appeal them. They never have faced any disciplinary action, Ruiz said.
At 10:19 p.m. on July 14, the 911 center received its first round of calls reporting an assault in progress at the park, officials have said. Such a call is a "priority-one" call, meaning it should have been responded to within 2 to 3 minutes, they said.
About 11 minutes later, a second series of calls reported a battery in progress. A squad car was not dispatched until a police officer from another district, who was called by his son at the scene, contacted police headquarters. Officers responded as soon as they were notified at 10:45 p.m.
Richard Valdez, 16, of Chicago was temporarily in a coma after getting hit in the head during the fight.
A 15-year-old Mississippi resident was ticketed for driving without a license after he drove a sport-utility vehicle through a crowd to protect his sister, police said. He also was ticketed for not having insurance, reckless driving, not exercising care while pedestrians are in the roadway and driving too fast.
Police say no criminal charges have been filed.


Assuming the simple math is correct, the project manager in this example should "explicitly" allocate $200K and 4 calendar months of effort somewhere in his/her micro-managed Microsoft Project plan for our 100K line program, no?
The question is, when was the last time you saw a project plan that transparently and explicitly enumerated the time and cost for performing those code reviews mandated by your CMMI L3+ compliant process? If you haven't seen such a plan, find out what kind of blowback you get from asking to have the resources required for "effective" code reviews embedded in your current or next prescriptive project plan. For even more drama, ask your QA group if there are any metrics (bugs found/review-hour, bug densities) that indicate how effective your code reviews are.
The reviewers are qualified and readily available: they understand the programming language(s) the code is written in; they have memorized the 200 page home-grown coding standards manual(s); they understand and have memorized the functional requirements the code is supposed to implement.
The reviews are synchronized; the reviewers all start and end the code review at the same time.
Are these assumptions realistic? If not, then how do the budget and schedule numbers get affected?
Finally, in an iterative and incremental development process, when should code reviews take place? Piece-meal and disruptively after checking in each increment's unit-tested code? In one big, formal she-bang after all the unit tests have passed?
How do you do code reviews, and how effective are they?

Why is it, I wonder, that the Chief of Staff decided to use the Situation Room to fire Omarosa? Doesn't he have an office? Or was he expecting a 'situation' to develop?
And why is it, I wonder, that folks seem to think Omarosa had a disregard for national security, because she took her phone into the SitRoom? Was Omarosa ever involved in any discussions regarding national security? If yes, one has to wonder if the mere idea of that isn't a bigger disregard for and threat to our security than anything she alleges occured.
When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn't work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog.
The Governor believes America is great and that her greatness will be fully realized when every man, woman and child has full equality....The governor believes that when everyone is fully included and everyone is contributing to their maximum potential that is when America will achieve maximum greatness.
Going out on a limb here and wondering if everyone who's running against Cuomo, regardless of party, already has their ad agencies incorporating this into spots that will be released immediately, if not sooner?
And am I the only one wondering if this will have legs like President Obama's "you didn't build that" comment, still being taken out of its somewhat confusing context, which I just saw in a post this week?
Finally, while I wonder about the value of any conversation about Omarosa and her allegations against the president (unless she comes up with something brand spanking new, like Trump buried Jimmy Hoffa or a similar breaking news alert), I also can't help wondering whether the president is helped or hurt by Sanders not stating fully and forcefully - dare I say Putinesquely? - that there simply is no tape of the president using the n-word. Trump says it's not in his vocabulary, but neither are a gazillion other words. And his 'proof' of there being no tapes is that The Apprentice producer allegedly called him and said there aren't any.
And yet, the president is apparently taped much more often than he knows, it seems, and he has threatened that he himself tapes conversations. Why are we to believe Mark Burnett?, or why are we to believe Trump? Why are we to believe Omarosa?
And ultimately, I wonder "what difference, at this point, does it make?"

Before Christmas day has even arrived you have spent loads of money and then there's not a lot to do on the day. You've opened your presents, eaten the food and now what? Well instead of spending loads of money on buying a board game why not save your money and play games that don't need you emptying your wallets.
I am a huge fan of games on Christmas day. I find that it brings a lot of fun to the day and allows you to socialize with your family without having to make loads of effort. It really brings the family together. The games that I will be telling you about are the ones that I have played so many times before - they work so well.
Pictionary is a great game. Just grab a pen, paper and blue tack. Write some things that (people can guess) down on little bits of paper. Such as an aeroplane, fish and trampoline. Put them into a bowl of some kind. When you've got into teams get one person from each team to choose one bit of paper from the bowl and get them to draw it on a piece of paper that you have put up on the wall for everyone to see. There are different ways people play this game but this is the way I do it and the first team to guess it right wins a point. It's a fun game and only needing paper and pens.
20 questions and only being able to ask yes or no questions. You write down on a piece of paper a name of someone famous and put it on another person's forehead. Then they have to ask yes or no questions in order to figure out who their person is. I find that this game makes me laugh a lot. You can even use this game as an ice breaker for an event that you are doing. It's fun and easy to do.
Charades is a game that doesn't involve you to have anything other than yourself. To make it Christmasy I say do Christmas themed. To make it more fun doing it in teams and having points. This way the winner gets something like a selection box. If you are having a Christmas party I find that this game is great for that. As it's easy again and only requires people to join in.
Everyone loves music right? Well, this game is naming the carol. Play 10 seconds of a song and get people to guess the name of the Christmas song. To make it harder and to earn more points get them to guess who the singer is as well. This game makes me feel super Christmasy. It gives you a chance to really show that you know your music.
If you've got children then this game is great. It's like pin the tail on the donkey but it's pin the nose on Rudolph. You can just draw and cut out the nose and Rudolph yourself. You can even get the children to do it during the day ready for the evening. It's another easy game to play and any age can play.

Russia, 2011
120 minutes, color
In Russian, with English subtitles
Director: Vasilii Sigarev
Scriptwriter: Vasilii Sigarev
Camera: Alisher Khamidkhodzhaev
Costume Design: Viktoriia Kalmykova, Viktoriia Vinogradova
Music: Pavel Dodonov
Cast: Ol'ga Lapshina, Marina Gavrilova, Sasha Gavrilova, Iana Troianova, Aleksei Filimonov, Aleksei Pustovoitov, Evgenii Sytyi, Anna Ukolova, Dmitrii Kulichkov, Iana Sekste, Irma Arendt, Alena Lapteva
Producers: Roman Borisevich, Aleksandr Kushaev
Production: Koktebel, with financial support from the Russian Ministry of Culture
In Living, Vasilii Sigarev depicts three variations on coping with the sudden loss of loved ones—of a husband, of children, and of a father. It does not help the individuals who are left behind in the film that they are not particularly well-socialized. They know it, too. Grishka (Iana Troianova) frequently characterizes herself and her fiancé Anton (often called Mama) as "mental"; their wedding is marked by the absence of friends and family. Galia Kapustina (Ol'ga Lapshina) is a recovering alcoholic who struggles to prove to social services that she is a fit mother. The young boy Artem, who resists his mother with a sullen demeanor, seems unlikely to grow up into a well-adjusted adult. To reinforce their flaws, the majority of these characters are introduced in highly unflattering close-ups. Yet they also clearly scrabble for respectable lives: Grishka's wedding to Anton is only the beginning of a well-ordered future; Kapustina has won back the right to raise her children; and Artem strives to defend his absent father. The very inadequacies and wasted efforts of these people make the losses of their loved ones even rawer.
Sigarev's film follows a current trend in Russian filmmaking, in which the film is composed of multiple plots with wholly separate casts. In spite of the brief migration of a single rotund figure (later to be identified as Artem's father, played by Evgenii Sytyi) across the horizons of all three central characters, Sigarev arranges the narratives of Grishka, Kapustina, and Artem in three discrete parts. Even so, the film has internal coherence, as the ways in which these characters deal with sudden loss end up following a common trajectory, including a stage of hallucinatory denial.
The hallucinatory stage of grief is hardly comforting in a traditional sense. The wishful negation of death entails ghastly details: the return of Anton as a near-corpse groom, twins who have been buried alive, the nearly-homicidal abusiveness of Artem's mother. However, Sigarev frames these hallucinatory narratives with unsentimental details and authoritative indifference in "real life." Additional gut-wrenching scenes make visible what these individuals experience when left without the cushion of hallucination. A particularly effective sequence conveys a moment of unbearable grief with a long tracking shot that follows Grishka down the length of a train; we see, but do not immediately hear, how she calls for help. It becomes clear: the gothic nightmares are in many ways preferable to living with that loss in that life, and may even be necessary for survival.
The film was shot in the city of Suvorov in the Tula province, which provides a gritty landscape redolent with an atmosphere of death. At times, it seems that that characters themselves can recognize the presence of death in various symbolic signs, but Sigarev avoids giving those images any actual prophetic power. Certainly, Grishka (it seems) accurately reads ill omens in the knocking of a woodpecker and in the moment when Anton's candle blows out during their wedding ceremony. However, Kapustina also reads "signs" in her world that are not realized in her life; the out-of-season bloom of her African violet, it turns out, does not promise any good for the future. The audience is invited to perceive these symbols along with the characters, but is not allowed to use them to make sense of the plots or the experience of loss.
The key symbolic image of death in Suvorov, the river, goes uncommented upon by the characters. In the first moments of the film, an ordinary river takes on characteristics of the Styx. This image is strongly connected not to a natural milieu, but to a hydroelectric station. The overlapping chords of an electric guitar (evoking the slow rolls of waves) dominate Pavel Dodonov's score and reiterate the linkage between the river and industry. If the natural river is on the verge of freezing and stopping as autumn slides into winter, the hydroelectric station ensures that the Styx always flows. And if the changing of the seasons would suggest natural death in old age, human innovation offers a multiplicity of unnatural deaths at any age.
The on-screen changing of the seasons reduces much of the film's color palette to a series of blues, grays, and browns, punctuated by reds and pinks. Though the color red is clearly associated with spilled blood, it is hard to deny the relief offered by its appearances from the unremitting doldrums of winter. Red's presence as a tiny, arresting dot in the title screen guides the viewer to pay attention to future moments in which the color appears. Rather than dwell on symbolic meanings for the color, however, one might take its presence as a signal for contemplation. For example, red often appears in what might be considered pillow shots taken from a long distance by a still camera. The color is also tied to a key moment of cognitive rupture within the narrative.
Sigarev has said he takes his stories from his own life and the lives of his family, who come from provincial cities similar to Suvorov. Kapustina, for example, is modelled on an aunt who experienced a similar breakdown. In translating "true stories" to film, however, Living has gone beyond ethnography or memoir. Sigarev offers a film about how sudden losses are suffered in ways that are, in many respects, universal. Yet, in spite of the fact that these experiences hold much in common, every instance is endured in exquisite loneliness.

500 psig rated two-stage compressors date back to the early 1990s in Australia, however, their introduction into the market has not been without development difficulties and this article will focus on some of the challenges that face the compressor designer when trying to build a unit that can withstand the rigours of use in drilling operations.
Why a 500 psig unit at all?
In short, for shallow DTH drilling work any increase in the pressure drop across the hammer translates into more energy at the drill bit and if correctly applied will result in greater penetration rates.
For deeper DTH holes, particularly when using RC techniques, the use of boosters is almost universal. However, for shallower work as well as grade control and blast hole drilling, the use of a booster and compressor can be avoided by using a 500 psig compressor which will have a lower capital cost.
When the operating pressure of a two stage oil-flooded rotary screw compressor is increased from 350 to 500 psig several interesting things happen.
When a compressor is operating it ingests water vapour along with the air it is compressing and this water will cause problems if it remains inside the compressor, becoming mixed with the oil and then being fed to the bearings.
To prevent this occurring, the compressor designers fit thermostats to raise the system temperatures and allow the water to pass out of the unit along with the compressed air.
When the operating pressure is increased then the temperature of the oil must be increased to prevent water build-up. Those who remember the old 100 psig compressors will recall that they operated at 80-85�C and as pressures increased the 350 psig machines went to 95-100�C to keep water out of the system. (Current shutdown temperatures are around 125�C).
As the pressures rise, the loads on the bearings rise while the actual space for the bearings remains the same or can be smaller resulting in far greater bearing loads. Rising temperatures also shorten the service life of rolling element bearings.
Due to the increasing temperatures in the oil circuit, and the oil being returned to the compressor and fed to the bearings being hotter than in the case of previous 350 psig units, the viscosity of the oil is lower.
All rolling element bearing makers have information that advises users of bearings that the viscosity of the oil being fed to the bearing must be sufficient to separate the rolling element from the race.
Put simply, if the oil is too thin the bearing will break through the lubricant film and premature bearing failure will result. The bearing makers specify an oil viscosity of 9 Centistokes at the operating temperature and when the oil being fed to the compressor bearings on a hot day is over 100�C this is difficult to achieve.
Having regard for these issues, compressor designers have adopted several approaches in an attempt to produce reliable products these approaches are as follows.
High internal oil circulation rates and low temperature drop system.
Lower internal oil circulation rates and a higher temperature drop system.
Each system has merit and we will discuss both here.
The high internal circulation machines circulate their working fluid at rates from 400-450 litres/minute while the alternative machines have lower circulation rates from 200-300 litres/minute. The effect of decreasing the circulation volume results in the oil being returned to the compressor being cooled to a lower temperature than is the case for a machine of equal output that circulates its working fluid at a higher rate. (Note both units must have the same discharge temperature to keep water out of the system).
The high circulation rate machines will therefore feed their bearings with hotter oil that the low circulation volume machines and this places extra demands on the oil and the bearings as oil viscosity decreases as its temperature rises.
The whole system must be considered as a single entity and a circulating fluid selected that will provide good sealing, good heat transfer properties for cooling and good lubrication properties at the PEAK operating temperatures that the system can operate at. This is NOT the normal operating temperature but just under the shutdown temperature for the machine as this will be the temperature seen on very hot days.
In the past I have not made specific product recommendations and I have NOT checked with the suppliers of the fluids listed below nor do they give me a commission on sales! However, on the information available to me the Ultracool/XHP605 fluid from IR which Dow makes for them in the USA is a 46 weight fluid which retains its viscosity better than any product that I am aware of at this time. Sullair also have a 32 weight fluid called Sullube which I understand is also sourced from Dow.
Should you be thinking about which fluid to use in your 500 psig compressor it might be worth asking any potential supplier if their product at least meets the performance of Ultracool/XHP605. Both of these fluids are expensive and considerable attention should be given to air filters, oil filters and all hoses in any system that you propose to fill with these fluids as a burst hose will result in a serious loss.
There are other synthetic products available from reputable manufacturers however be sure to ascertain that they will meet the requirements set out above if you intend to operate your 500 psig compressor at full load and peak pressure in hot weather.

There are plenty of marketing tactics you can make use of that won't blow your small marketing budget. Let's see how far you can stretch those dollars! Here are 20 marketing ideas for small businesses working on a small budget.
5. Be a Savvy Social Networker. Create business accounts and participate in the big social media sites – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pinterest. Add Instagram in there too if your business is image-oriented. Also check out this list of easy Facebook marketing ideas for any type of business.
6. DIY Infographics. Infographics are insanely powerful marketing tools. They're visual eye candy, they're easy to digest, and people love to share them, so they're a great way to drive up referral trafficand links. Hiring a designer to make you an A+ infographic can hit your wallet hard, but you can make your own on the cheap if you don't mind a bit of a challenge.
If you have some understanding of Adobe Illustrator, try out these free vector kits that provide all the elements needed to make a stunning infographic. Not sure where to start? Check out Visual.ly for inspiration. They have beginner and advanced examples for you to browse through.
7. Give New Life to Old Data. If your marketing budget it tight, you might not be able to always afford content writers to whip up content for your blog. If you're in a dry spell, instead of making something new, breathe new life into something that already exists on the web. There are a ton of data studies and stats available on the internet. While some of these studies may get initial traction, many often go unnoticed.
8. Lounge About on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a major social media site that is often under-utilized. Don't just add network connections and sign out – join groups, enter into dialogue with connections, and share your blog posts. There's a ton happening on LinkedIn, and it can be a great place to promote your content, share ideas, and build your brand. Larry recently shared some tips for getting more LinkedIn connections, and here are some ways to spruce up your LinkedIn profile if you're a recent college grad.
9. Recycle Your Content. Just as you can repurpose existing data studies, you can rehash your old content into new creations as well! Turn a webinar into a video tutorial. Transform a collection of blog posts into an ebook. Never be afraid to mash-up your old content – chances are there will be a ton of people who never even saw your old stuff, so it'll be a fresh, 100% new content piece for a large segment of your audience.
10. Develop a Customer Referral Program. Offer existing customers a free product, free month of service, or some other reward for referring new customers. Remember, word-of-mouth is powerful stuff, so friends telling friends about your business is incredibly valuable.
11. Online Contests. You'll need to cough up some dough for a prize, but the number of participants and new potential leads you get will be well worth the price. Really tight on budget? You don't technically need a super expensive prize to get participants. Even a couple high-end water bottles or fancy backpacks might be enough of a draw for some users.
12. Industry Partnerships. Team up with a business related to your industry (but not a direct competitor) for a joint project. This can be done locally offline through some kind of special event, or online with a webinar or promotional giveaway.
13. Apply Online for Business Awards. Most industries have business awards you can win, providing you with an online badge you can place on your website. Badges like these can boost credibility, and as a result, increase sales.
14. Awesome Business Cards. Get yourself some snazzy business cards, then give them to every person you lay eyes on. Every handshake should come with a business card. The more people who find out about your business, the better – even if it's just a quick glance at a business card.
Guerilla Marketing. Guerilla marketing emphasizes creativity over budget, and strategies are often cheap and easy to implement, especially when localized. Broadcast your Twitter handle with sidewalk chalk, use an abandoned storefront as a canvas for street art, or plaster custom stickers on urban décor that makes those who stroll by look twice. There's a ton of room for invention here, and you don't need a big budget to be successful. We did a massive post about guerilla marketing recently, detailing a bunch of strategies and examples you should check out if you want to learn more!
16. Host an Event or Class. Plan an event or class to host, then print out flyers and post them on community bulletin boards (libraries, coffee shops, local colleges and adult ed centers). While most community bulletin boards won't let you post business advertisements, they're often more than happy to post a flyer promoting an educational event or class.
17. Business Card Drawing. Put a fishbowl at your place of business with a sign asking visitors to drop their business cards in for a chance to win something from you (for example, a restaurant might offer a free pizza party).
Check out 24 more restaurant marketing ideas here.
18. Email Marketing. Email marketing is a great way to get new visitors engaged with your business, as well as maintain relationships with your existing customers.
19. Give Away Balloons at Local Events. Get a few hundred custom balloons printed with your business name, rent a helium tank, and watch the smiles roll in.
20. Join in on Local Contests. Consider donating a product or service of yours as a prize in a local contest or event.

Updated on: October 18, 2018 / 12:40 PM / CBS News
Pompeo: U.S. will respond to Khashoggi case after Saudi probe
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he told President Trump to give the Saudis a few more days to complete their investigation into what happened to journalist Jamal Khashoggi, after Pompeo returned from a whirlwind trip to Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Pompeo, speaking to reporters for about three minutes and taking just two questions, emphasized the importance of waiting for all the facts, and the value of the U.S.-Saudi relationship. The secretary of state's trip appeared not to have altered his wait-and-see approach to the Khashoggi situation, and Pompeo did not say whether he believes Khashoggi is dead. Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Turkey earlier this month.
"I told President Trump this morning that we ought to give them a few more days to complete that so that we too have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that at which point we can make decisions about how or if the United States should respond to the incident surrounding Mr. Khashoggi," Pompeo said.
"I think it's important for us all to remember too, we have a long, since 1932, a long strategic relationship with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia," the secretary of state continued. "They continue to be an important counterterrorism partner. They have custody of the two holy sites. They are an important strategic alliance of the United States, and we need to be mindful of that as well."
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced after meeting with Mr. Trump and Pompeo Thursday that he would not be attending the "Davos in the Desert" summit in Saudi Arabia, although he cited no reason.
Mr. Trump sent the secretary of state to speak with the Saudis and Turks about the disappearance of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Turkey earlier this month. Mr. Trump and Pompeo have been reluctant to criticize Saudi Arabia, and Mr. Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Saudi relationship for the U.S. economy. Pompeo pushed back against the assertion Thursday that he is giving the Saudis the benefit of the doubt.
"I keep hearing that we're giving them some benefit of the doubt," Pompeo said. "They're going to do an investigation. And when the investigation comes out we'll evaluate it. It's not about benefit of the doubt, it's that it's -- reasonable to give them a handful of days more to complete it so they get it right."
The president and Pompeo have said they want to wait until the Saudis and Turks conclude their investigations into what happened to the journalist.
Mr. Trump has claimed that he has no financial interests in Saudi Arabia, although he boasted during the campaign that he likes the Saudis and they've spent millions on his apartments.
"Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them," Mr. Trump said at a rally in 2015. "They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much."

On July 19 2009 Richard and I arrived in Santiago having walked 254 kms to complete our Camino de Santiago. What an extraordinary journey it has been and what delightful people I have met along the way. People who have inspired me to be better in the world by demonstrating high levels of humility, determination and generosity. Walking is a wonderful way to spend time, it provides room for thinking and expansion whilst moving with purpose, what could be better? Except perhaps the siesta after a day of hard walking. Thanks to Roland, Laurie, Darren, Joy, the French family, the senora who gave us juice for breakfast and all the others we met along the path. A beautiful adventure.

Each year the big nurseries offer up new plants that they think will be the next big thing in the landscaping industry, and each year I get excited to try all of their new specimens.
For 2015, those that are considered "new" have actually been around for a few years as trial plants in places like North Carolina State University's JC Raulston Arboretum. There, staffers graded the trial plants on whether they performed as promised, and if the plants were marketable. If a plant made the grade, it became available to you and me.
This year, we have a group of more compact and disease-resistant forms of our old favorites.
Jackson & Perkins: If you have roses, they probably came from Jackson & Perkins. They usually have several new varieties of roses each year, but for 2015 they only list Obsession Floribunda Rose as their new offering. "Obsession" is a rich, dark red rose with many flower heads.
Regan Nursery: Regan offers several roses beginning with Anna's Promise Grandiflora rose. A grandiflora has about twice the size bloom of our Mr. Lincoln hybrid teas,and Anna's Promise is a copper, orange-pink bloom. Other roses offered by Regan Nursery are Top of the World (an orange climbing rose), Best Kept Secret (a white and pink flowered hybrid tea) and The Lady Gardener (an English rose with a double-blossomed peach colored bloom).
Monrovia: This nursery has a lot of new plants for 2015. One is a Red Rhapsody Chinese Hydrangea vine, which gets new red leaves with white flowers in the spring. The Tiny Tower Arborvitae is also new; the slow-growing compact arborvitae will only grow 10 feet tall by five feet wide, as opposed to the normal 20 feet tall, by eight feet wide arborvitae. Ember Waves Western Arborvitae has chartreuse foliage that turns gold with orange tips in the winter, and will grow 20 feet tall, by eight feet wide. Crimson Kisses Weigelia is a compact three-foot tall, by three-foot wide weigelia with dark green foliage, and dark red flowers. Impish Elf Pieris has bright pink bell-shaped flowers in the spring, and the new foliage comes out red. Monrovia doesn't list a height, or width for this plant.
Burpee: I received my catalogue in December, and if you like to grow fresh vegetables, Burpee Seed supplies all the local box stores with seeds.
New for 2015 for Burpee is a Cupcake Hybrid Summer Squash. It looks just like an acorn squash, and the taste is said to be sweet, with a soft skin. Burpee mentions a few new tomatoes, but no varieties that would thrive in our humid piedmont summers.
Three new pepper varieties are Long Tall Sally, Blazing Banner and Big Boss Man.
A new collard for us is Tiger Hybrid—it grows upright so it doesn't take up as much room as the standard collard, and is supposed to be full of flavor. Mokum Hybrid carrot looks like a Danver Long carrot, but is supposed to stay sweet and hold up better to our warm springs.
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to spring and trying a few of these new plants!
Winter Jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) has yellow flowers now, and it looks like a low-growing forsythia. We have a few by the Wolf Fountain.
Autumn Cherry (Prunus autumnalis) are in full bloom, and we have several around the campus. Can you spot them?
Flowering Apricot (Prunus mume) looks like the flowering cherry, except the blooms are coral pink.
Lenten Rose (Helleborus hybridus) are low-growing, shade-loving plants that bloom now through March. Look for some around the gazebo.
Start a gardening journal: Keep notes of your plant success stories and failures, dates when you planted and harvested vegetables, and comments on how a vegetable tasted (noting weather conditions at the time). Good journaling can keep you from making the same mistakes every year, and improve your gardening skills.
Clean and sharpen gardening tools and remove dirt from shovels; apply a light application of motor oil to the steel blades to prevent rust.
Take a soil sample: It's important to know the nutrient content of your soil, and its pH. You can purchase simple kits at any gardening store, or take a sample to the Agricultural Extension office on Blue Ridge Road to be tested. Be sure to do this before spring when they are very busy, and you will have to wait longer for your results.

Posh Apology
"I did not kill President Kennedy or Officer Tippit. If you want me to cop out to hitting, or pleading guilty to hitting a cop in the mouth when I was arrested, yeah, I plead guilty to that. But I do deny shooting both the president and Tippit."
Years after he was murdered Lee Harvey Oswald's final interview with police would spark multitudes of conspiracy theories. Was he a patsy as he claimed or simply a mad man with a contorted vision for his country.
To the same degree I wonder about our young minister for health, mocked on social media as "Posh Boy" he has found himself in a position that most politicians would consider a poisoned chalice, leading a department plagued with legacy issues.
Is he a patsy in all this or simply a naive freshman with insufficient managerial experience, insufficient experience at negotiating with unions, and insufficient experience at running a department of government.
I've no doubt Simon is a nice young lad who means well. My own opinion is that he focused on delivering a landmark victory for the abortion referendum and the subsequent negotiations to ensure it was enacted, so much so that he's taken his energy away from running the department. Just my own thoughts, it's a tough job, he hasn't tried to lay blame on anyone else for the spiraling bill and cost to the taxpayer, and he's come out to apologize for previous statements which may have been misleading to the Dail.
I suppose the question we have to ask ourselves is do we accept his apology and move on, do we accept this cop out, or do we hold him accountable for the full responsibility of his department.
Personally I think that there is little room for apprenticeships at the head of the Department of Health and he should resign to save face, but ultimately there should be a vote of no confidence in him given the financial implications of his mistakes.

This week we celebrated our love for music.
First, we watched some videos about the different instruments to see what they look like and also hear what they sound like. Later, in cooperative groups we colored the music decorations for the school's entrance.
Have you seen that the stairs were transformed into a piano? That was the good work of the students in primary! We, in P3, P4 and P5 enjoyed making the decoration for the windows.
We learned about a lot of different types of music. We learned about jazz and where this style was born and why. We are experts! Then, we danced to swing music in couples and even tried our own dance styles. It was so much fun, we enjoyed it a lot!
Our music teacher showed us a video about Montserrat Caballé and Freddy Mercury singing together a song for the Olympic Games in Barcelona. We learned that Montserrat Caballé was the best Catalan opera singer in the world and, Freddy Mercury, was a real rock star. We also saw the performance of the magic fountains work when this song was playing.
On Thursday we celebrated Santa Cecilia the patron of music and the older students of our school prepared an amazing concert for us. They were singing in two groups and there were two judges, one was very funny and the other one was grumpy. The students sang a lot of songs that we could recognize and sing with them. One of our favorites was "head, shoulders, knees and toes" because we know the moves, we can show you!
We had such a fun week and learned many new songs!
English theatre in our own school!
The "BLUE MANGO THEATRE" has offered us two magical and musical shows with puppets, songs, comedy and a lot of interaction with the public.
This company is formed by professional actors. They come from speaking English countries and they have a great theatre experience with public that is not native. They offer works adapted to the different stages, levels and interests of the students.
It's the first day that Pinky Pig goes to the farm class and is very excited. Soon he discovers that if he wants to feel good, he will have to learn to be polite, to clean up what has become moody and to have a good relationship with his classmates. It includes farm vocabulary, animal names and class activities.
It's Christmas night and the elves Frodo and Baggins are preparing the gifts that Santa Claus should carry to all the children around the world. Rudolph, however, is sick and he has to stay in bed. Soon they realize that they need another assistant and fast! But what animal will it be as good as Rudolph!
The objective of the school is the same that of the company BLUE MANGO THEATER. "Learning English" is a fun, participatory and an enriching experience.
And we have achieved it!
The children have sung, laughed and bove all they have taken part spontaneously.

Clayton Wuensche grew up in Lexington, TX, and played the tuba in band. His band director piqued his interest in repair by showing him the art and intricacy of instrument engineering. Clayton went on to attend Western Iowa Tech in Sioux City, IA, where he was formally trained in all aspects of band repair under the guidance of Rod Siljenberg. Over the course of his 17+ year career, Clayton has owned several repair shops, worked in conjunction with other well-known leading regional technicians, and built a reputable name for himself as an expert repair technician in the state of Texas.
Clayton moved to the Brazos Valley in 1998 and has been with The String & Horn Shop, Inc. ever since, building its repair shop into one of the best repair shops in Central and Southeast Texas. Clayton gladly welcomes any repairs from the smallest adjustment to the semi-haul.
To send Clayton an email: [email protected].
Most repairs are completed within a week (sometimes the same day), but the time of year (rental or marching season) and the type of work required can add time.
All of our rental agreement includes a maintenance policy that covers accidental damage or general repair (cosmetic work or negligent damage not covered – see Store for details).

[PODCAST] Why a Shortage of Accountants Could Be on The Horizon
June 27, 2019 Lydia Adams
Megan Weis, VP & General Manager – FAO Services, Personiv was invited as a guest for a podcast on outsourcing and the shortage of accountants on the Software & Technology podcast by MarketScale. The shortage of accountants in the market has been the talk of the town for quite some time now. Be it the manufacturing, IT, construction or any other industry, there have been serious scarcity of reliable and experienced accountant professionals. Megan has more than 20 years of industry experience in accounting and finance. She shares her observations regarding the shortage of accounting professionals and clarifies why it's such a problem for today's CFOs.
Why the Shortage of Accounting Professionals in the Market
There are various reasons for the shortage of accountants faced recently in the market from supply, an aging workforce and the need for accounting departments to do more. Take for example, the supply of talent available. Baby boomers are retiring in droves and taking with them the specialized talent they have acquired over a 40-year career. In fact, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants estimates that 75 percent of all current CPAs will retire in the next 15 years. Additionally, millennials are entering the workforce and few of them are choosing accounting as their profession. Most are no longer satisfied with the regular day-to-day job. They seek a reliable and attractive career and accountancy is often seen as less engaging than others. For organizations to ensure accountancy talent is retained they need to transform a boring workplace into a fun one.
Expectations of the Modern Accountant Professional
Gone are the days when a professional could stick to a single job and continue doing that for years. The modern world demands multitasking and knowledge sharing. With new financial regulations coming on board often, traditional accounting careers are still in high demand. However, accounting careers with a new type of forward-looking, strategic advisor role are emerging out as well. Accountants are expected to be more creative, strategic, and innovative apart from the regular skills. Modern organizations are more inclined towards an accountant with a knack of looking into the future and driving financial results rather than someone only interesting in regular day-today work.
The Advent of Automation
It is true that automation and machine learning has taken charge of many responsibilities that was previously expected from an accounting professional. There is a notion among accountants that the growth of automation might jeopardize their job which is not a fact. Robots might be helpful to accountants, but they will never be able to replace a human. Learn more about the role of automation, how to overcome the talent shortage and how outsourcing fits into the picture by visiting MarketScale here.

Q: using socket.shutdown(1) is preventing web server from sending responses I'm making a proxy which sits between the browser and the web. There's a snippet of code I can't seem to get to work.
#send request to web server
web_client.send(request)
#signal client is done with sending
web_client.shutdown(1)

If I use shutdown(1), the proxy has a great improvement in performance and speed.
However, some web servers do not send responses if I use shutdown. Console output:
request sent to host wix.com
got response packet of len 0
got response packet of len 0
breaking loop

and the browser displays
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

However, if I remove shutdown(1), there are no problems of sort. Console output:
got response packet of len 1388
got response packet of len 1388
got response packet of len 1388
got response packet of len 989
got response packet of len 0
got response packet of len 0
breaking loop

and the browser normally displays the website.
Why is this happening? This is only happening on certain hosts.

A: From https://docs.python.org/2/library/socket.html#socket.socket.shutdown

Depending on the platform, shutting down one half of the connection
  can also close the opposite half (e.g. on Mac OS X, shutdown(SHUT_WR)
  does not allow further reads on the other end of the connection)

This may not be the problem because you say that only some web servers are affected, but is your proxy running on Mac OS X?

A: TCP/IP stack will do graceful connection close only if there is no pending data to be sent on the socket. send completion indicates only the data is pushed into the kernel buffer & ready for sending. Here, shutdown is invoked immediately after send while there is some send data pending in the TCP stack. So TCP stack sends reset to the other end as it decides the application doesn't wish to complete sending the process. To do a graceful connection close, invoke select on the socket & wait for socket to be writable which means all the data is pushed out the stack. Then invoke shutdown & close the socket.

A numerical analysis of heat transfer processes and hydrodynamics in a two-phase closed thermosyphon in a fairly wide range of variation of governing parameters has been investigated. A mathematical model is formulated based on the laws of mass conservation, momentum and energy in dimensionless variables "stream function – vorticity vector velocity – temperature". The analysis of the modes of forced and mixed convection for different values of Reynolds number and heat flows in the evaporation zone, the possibility of using two-phase thermosyphon for cooling gas turbine blades, when the heat is coming from the turbine blades to the thermosyphon is recycled a secondary refrigerant has been studied with different values of the centrifugal velocity. Nusselet Number, streamlines, velocity, temperature fields and temperature profile has been calculated during the investigation.

Self-driving cars could be allowed on UK motorways next year
Industry welcomes consultation for use of technology in slow lane, but risk concerns some

Motorists could be allowed to let their cars drive themselves on motorways, using automated technology, as early as next year, under proposals being considered by the government.
Manufacturers are expected to roll out the next generation of collision-avoidance and lane-keeping technology in new car models in 2021. They will progress from providing alerts and driver assistance to taking control – and potentially responsibility – for speed and steering once under way.
While the technology has been envisaged to help navigate traffic jams at low speed, the government is considering legalising it for use at speeds of up to 70mph in the slow lanes of motorways, with the cars automatically staying in lane and slowing down for vehicles in front.
A crucial question in the government consultation, launched on Tuesday, is whether the driver will be held legally responsible for the car or whether the car will be defined as an automated vehicle.
While the driver must remain ready to take over when prompted by the vehicle, it could be ruled that the technology provider would be legally responsible when the Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS) is engaged.
The transport minister, Rachel Maclean, said the outcome could be a significant step forward in changing the way cars are driven: "Automated technology could make driving safer, smoother and easier for motorists, and the UK should be the first country to see these benefits, attracting manufacturers to develop and test new technologies."
The AA backed the moves. Edmund King, president of the motoring organisation, said the government was "right to be consulting on the latest collision-avoidance system, which has the potential to make our roads even safer in the future".
Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said it could prove "life-changing", adding: "This advanced technology is ready for rollout in new models from as early as 2021, so today's announcement is a welcome step in preparing the UK for its use, so we can be among the first to grasp the benefits of this road safety revolution."
However, some were sceptical that cars would be designated as legally automated, as the government suggested. Jim Holder, editorial director of What Car?, said: "This is an industry under massive financial pressure. Why they would take on another huge insurance risk?"
Holder said trials of automated lane keeping technology so far were not reassuring: "They're not necessarily at the point where you'd trust them enough. They work 90% of the time, but that's not enough."

Harvard Student Loses Facebook Internship Days After Exposing Privacy Flaws
A Harvard student lost an internship at Facebook after publicly revealing just how easy it was to track users' movements using the Messenger app. The social media giant withdrew its offer, saying the action didn't meet the site's "high ethical standards."
It all began in May, when Harvard computer and mathematics student Aran Khanna launched Marauder's Map, a Chrome extension that used data from Facebook Messenger to map the location of users when they sent their messages. It even allowed people to track users' movements, learning about their routines and weekly schedules.
Although the media had reported four years earlier that Messenger automatically shared users' location data with anyone they messaged, Facebook seemed unwilling to act – so Khanna decided to take matters into his own hands.
He built the extension, which he says was aimed at allowing users to see the "potentially invasive usage" of the information they share, so they could decide whether they should be worried about it.
Named after the magical map in Harry Potter, Marauder's Map was posted in a blog post on Medium. It quickly picked up speed, with Facebook itself becoming aware of the extension.
It took just one day for Khanna's future manager at Facebook to contact him, asking him not to speak to the press. He was, however, told he could keep his blog post up.
That order was reiterated later that evening, when the global communications lead for privacy and public policy called to stress once again that he should not speak to the press, saying that the objective "was to hamper and spread what had become a damaging story."
One day later, the same person sent an email requesting that Khanna disable the extension. He did so within the hour, but also updated his Medium post to make clear that Facebook had asked him take down Marauder's Map – which had already been downloaded 85,000 times at that point.
But despite the Harvard student's compliance, Facebook called the next day – just hours before his internship was set to begin – informing him that the offer was no longer on the table. He was told that the extension violated the Facebook user agreement by "scraping" the site, the student wrote in a case study published in the Harvard Journal of Technology Science.
"This mapping tool scraped Facebook data in a way that violated our terms, and those terms exist to protect people's privacy and safety," Facebook spokesman Matt Steinfeld told Boston.com. "Despite being asked repeatedly to remove the code, the creator of this tool left it up. This is wrong and it's inconsistent with how we think about serving our community."
However, Khanna said that the data he used was from his own messages with friends and acquaintances, which meant he only used information available to all users – not just to employees.
The phone call was later followed up with an email from the head of global human resources and recruiting, who told Khanna that the Medium post did not reflect the "high ethical standards" expected of interns.
The email went on to state that the privacy issue wasn't with Facebook Messenger, but "rather with my blog post and code describing how Facebook collected and shared users' geo-location data," Khanna wrote.
But although Khanna will likely never work for Facebook, he did seem to incite change.
Nine days after he released the extension, Facebook released a Messenger app update and said: "With this update, you have full control over when and how you share your location information." It made sharing geo-location data an opt-in feature, although all historical geo-location data is still archived and shared.
Khanna was seemingly pleased with his efforts, writing: "Without public pressure, Facebook may have lacked significant incentive to change. My extension and blog post made the data collection and sharing practice real and transparent. The resulting public attention…seemed to motivate Facebook to react."
However, Steinfeld maintains that the company had been working on an update long before Khanna's post was published, implying that Khanna had nothing to do with the change made to Messenger.
"This isn't the sort of thing that can happen in a week," Steinfeld said. "Even though we move very fast here, they'd been working on it for a few months."
Despite the snub from Facebook, Khanna managed to secure another internship with a tech start-up in Silicon Valley, saying that his experience with the social media behemoth turned out to be an "internship experience" in itself, teaching him valuable information about the real world.

As a building owner or property manager, understanding fire regulations for commercial buildings can help you comply with local ordinances that protect public safety. These regulations cover prevention, detection and safe evacuation from all commercial buildings.
Oregon requires that all upgrades or modifications to an electrical system be made by a licensed electrician. The building's owner or agent must ensure that all the wiring inside the building is in good condition and that the tenants are using outlets safely by not overloading them or running excessively long extension cords.
Each exit requires a lighted sign that runs on both building power and backup batteries. All stairwells must have backup lighting in case of a power outage, as well as handrails that lead to a place where building occupants can exit safely onto a street.
Each building must have a working smoke detector in the hallways. A tag must hang from the smoke detector indicating the last date the batteries were replaced and when the detector was tested.
The fire regulations for commercial buildings also apply to sprinkler systems. Each sprinkler needs to carry a tag from the local fire department stating that it's functional. Commercial codes require one sprinkler for every 150 square feet of space.
All HVAC systems, commercial and residential, need to be installed and maintained by a licensed contractor. These systems contain high voltage components and combustible fuels. Staying on top of your system's maintenance after installation can help keep your building safer and energy bills lower. Although not mandated by building or fire regulations, installing the most efficient HVAC system in a commercial building can save a good deal of energy without sacrificing anyone's comfort.
If you'd like more information about commercial building fire regulations in the Portland or Willamette Valley area, contact Roth Heating & Cooling. We've been providing outstanding services for residential and commercial building owners since 1976.

Changeable weather was again the story of the week with anglers having to adapt as conditions changed. However, the sun shone on for the Forbes of Kingennie Open Day on Sunday, with Grant Osler, the Sports Manager, giving fishing demonstrations on the Blawearie Basin (coarse fishing pool). Good numbers of parents and juniors attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Fishing techniques and fish-handling skills were imparted and plenty of perch and roach were landed (all on barbless hooks), admired and returned safely to the water. Hopefully we will see some increase in the number of younger anglers using the fishery in future.
The Boathouse Pool again fished well, mainly to small dries (Shipman's, Yellow Owl) and Buzzers. Bruce Thomson returned 14 fish, Joe Westland 12 and John Barr 11. Mr Lafferty took 4 rainbows for a total of 9.5lb, as did Mr Wallace. On the deeper Burnside Pool there was plenty of surface activity but the fish were not easy to tempt. George Birse returned 14, Jock Leslie 13 and young Jake Gilchrist returned 11. Several anglers found fish feeding somewhat deeper than most would normally fish at this time of year.
The Bankside Pool was quite difficult to fish in the windier conditions but at the right time it produced some excellent results. Mr Boni took pride of place returning 14 fish taken mainly on an Olive Damsel. Frank Sherriff also did very well returning 11.
The any legal method pool (Woodside) had some very up and down results but the weekend certainly produced. On Saturday 10 anglers took 19 fish for a total of 41lb; on Sunday there were 29 fish taken for 58.25lb and last Monday saw 18 anglers land 35 fish for 73lb, giving an average weight on those three days of just over 2lb per fish.
The changeable weather this week meant that the fishing was challenging at times, but those anglers willing to persevere with different tactics still enjoyed some fantastic sport. The golds continue to be stocked and the brightly coloured fish can often be seen cruising just below the surface. When the fish were feeding best a floating line was usually all that was necessary, fishing around 2 feet dow n with a moderate retrieve. Although during tougher periods the key was to go deeper with a slower retrieve. The usual flies accounted for most fish this week with Damsels, Dancers and some nymphs including Diawl Bach and Cruncher having the most success. Great sport was also had with dry flies.
Danny Doherty, from Denny, caught 5 fish for 14lb 8oz plus 2 caught and released; Gregor Hunter, Inchinnan, 4 for 12lb 8oz; Donald McMurchy, Fallin, 4 for 10lb 12oz including 2 golds; Frank Barr, Falkirk, 3 for 8lb 12oz plus 1 caught and released; George Dobbie, Glasgow, 3 for 8lb 4oz; Henry Fulton, Glasgow, 3 for 8lb including a gold; Tom Martin, 3 for 8lb including a gold; William Brandon, Ireland, a 6lb rainbow; Eric Wilson, 2 for 6lb; Ian Munroe, Stirling, 6 caught and released; Robert Smith, Stirling, 4 caught and released including an estimated 8lb rainbow.


U.S. Territories Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, etc.
I have long believed we should do just that when the Palau, Micronesia, and Marshall Islands compacts expire in the 2020s using the Northern Mariana Islands as an enticement (a "You can be like them! Look at those nice checks they get every month!" deal).
As an added benefit it would create a 3rd line of defense against China.
With Guam and the Northern Marianas already US territories, I'm not sure there would be any additional advantage to the US in having the independent countries in Micronesia other than getting to a population threshold where a state could be formed.
When you look at the Per Capita PPP (basically GDP controlled for cost of living) you see how most of Micronesia has such underdeveloped economies that it would basically be a black hole for federal money. Palau ($16K/yr) and Nauru ($12K/yr) are the only countries in Micronesia that have even similar living standards to the US Territory of the Northern Marianas($13K/yr). Guam ($30K/yr) us by far the wealthiest territory or country in Micronesia, but it is still a little poorer than the poorest state, Mississippi ($35K/yr). For FSM and the Marshalls, the PPP per capita income in both are about $3K/year, or about 10K less than the Northern Mariana Islands. Kiribati is at $6K/yr, or a little less than half of the Northern Marianas. There is just not a way this area could function economically as part of the US without dumping massive amounts of money into it.
That is true however the populations of Palau, the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia are relatively small and a good number of the islanders would likely take off for Guam, Hawaii, or the mainland the second they are granted US citizenship. The cost of transfer payments would be relatively small ... compared even to American Samoa the current least populated territory.
Secondly, annexing these islands would create yet another barrier against the Chinese. It's more about geopolitics than dollars and cents. Do you think the Chinese sit around and argue about the cost of Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, or Xinjiang?
I just think it's rather strange for any former U.S possessions to choose Independence and then later down the road want to return back to become part of the U.S.
The US never formally annexed any of the trust territories as they were exactly that, trust territories ... they were 'owned' by the UN but administered by the United States.
The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Several years ago a poll by the Jamaica Gleaner found that on the 50th anniversary of independence the majority of Jamaicans (60%) felt that Jamaica was better off as a British colony.
This is one of the reasons why Guam and The CNMI continuously chose to remain with the U.S,because they know Independence would be the downfall for their islands.
Interestingly every place where the British established themselves in the past ended up becoming prosperous countries today.
