How often do you really go outside and inspect your roof? Do you know if your shingles are curling or blistering? Does your roof have bald spots or decay that needs to be addressed? Have you noticed these things, but you're just not sure what they mean? It's important to know what your home needs, particularly when it comes to your roof, because you never know when you'll need the services of a Residential Roofing company. Your roof can also impact your home's energy efficiency and resale potential. This is why jobs like these are best left to the specialists who know what they are doing. With this being said, as roofers will no doubt provide you with the highest of quality, they need to ensure their safety while working. No matter what industry you work in, your health and safety should always be top of your list, regardless of what you are doing. Take a look at this source of information to see how important safety is when it comes to working in construction before you decide to start fixing your roof on your own. You could also look into roofers public liability quotes to help cover your business from any accidents to third party damages on the property you are working on. Better to be safe than sorry.
Note: If your shingles are loose, dislodged, curling, or blistered, do NOT walk on the roof to inspect it. There is an increased risk of doing additional damage to the roof as well as getting injured.
Missing shingles – Asphalt shingles can be dislodged or blown away by heavy winds or when the shingles begin to lose their tar seal. When the tar strip loses its seal, there's very little that can be done to keep your shingles in place. You can try temporary tar sealing or replacing the missing shingles, but that isn't likely to work in the long run. In many cases, when your home begins to lose its shingles, it's a sign you need roof replacement; however, it's a good idea to consult a professional roofing expert to discuss the correct course of action.
Curling – There are a lot of reasons why your asphalt shingles could start to curl—lack of back coating, improper fastening, and most importantly, a lack of ventilation. Curling shingles will eventually break off or crack, which can leave your home susceptible to leaking and, as a result, diminished energy efficiency. To determine if your roof shingles are curling due to poor ventilation, it's important to have your roof and attic inspected because if the underlying problem isn't addressed, it will happen again with your new roof.
Blistering – When too much moisture gets into your roofing shingles, they will begin to blister. As they begin to bubble and blister, the shingles will lose their seal to the roof tar and, in most instances, will become dislodged.
Granule loss – Although a small amount of granules will be loose after being freshly installed, if there is a significant amount of granule loss on your shingles exposing the asphalt or underlying mat, roof replacement will be needed to fix it.
Rotting – Although this problem is most common with organic-based shingles, rotting can occur in any type when the mat at the core of the shingles begins to absorb moisture. One of the greatest concerns of rotting shingles or roof wood is how easily rot can spread to other areas of the roof. Make sure to address this problem immediately.
Stains on interior walls and ceilings – If there are stains and water spots on your interior walls or in your attic, that's a sure sign your roof is leaking. Roofing contractors can evaluate your home and determine the cause of the leaking and the best avenue for repairing or replacing your roof.
Buckling – This is another common roof problem that has a number of potential causes including roof deck movement, wrinkled underlayment, poorly applied felt, no spacers between roof deck boards, and poor roof ventilation. A roofing professional can help you determine what the cause of your buckling is, but generally, this kind of problem requires roof replacement.
Leaking – It almost goes without saying, but if your roof has a leak, it may be time for a roof replacement. While one or two leaks can usually be patched and repaired, if the leaks are numerous or persistent, it may be necessary (and cost-effective) to replace your roof altogether.
Steadily increasing energy bills – If you've been noticing a steady rise in your monthly utility bills, a good place to investigate is your roof. When your roof is failing, it can allow air to escape and enter your home, making it more difficult to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and cause your heating and cooling systems to work harder.
Age – Shingles have a lifespan of 20-50 years, based on a certain number of factors, including weather conditions, what they're made of, quality of installation, and regular maintenance. As your roof shingles begin to age, it's a good idea to start thinking about a roof replacement.
If you're noticing any of the above signs and think you may need roof replacement in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, DC, call Shanco Companies today! We can come out and inspect your roof and help you decide on the best course of action for your home.

Golden Globes 2021: Where to watch the nominated films in the UK
4 February 2021, 9:05 am ·7-min read
'Mank', 'One Night in Miami' and 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' all scored multiple nominations at the Golden Globes. (Credit: Netflix/Amazon)
On Wednesday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed its list of nominees for the 78th Golden Globes. On 28 February, the ceremony will mark one of the first big stops on the road to the Oscars, providing a first guide of the lay of the land in this year's unique awards season.
David Fincher's monochrome Hollywood tale Mank was the winner in terms of quantity, earning six nominations from the HFPA. It was closely followed by Aaron Sorkin's historical courtroom drama The Trial of the Chicago 7, which managed five nods.
Read more: Snubs and surprises from the Golden Globes
With the HFPA providing a list of compelling and acclaimed films — and some slightly baffling choices — the question turns to how audiences can actually watch them. With cinemas in England still shut, here's the best way to get hold of the major nominees at the Golden Globes.
Mank is absolutely the blueprint for an awards movie. It's a lovestruck look at Hollywood's glamorous past, directed by a top-tier talent in David Fincher and with an eye-catching performance by former Oscar-winner Gary Oldman. He portrays screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz during the writing of Citizen Kane. Mank has six nominations at the Globes, including Best Picture (Drama), Best Director for Fincher and Best Actor (Drama) for Oldman.
Read more: Oldman says Mank role was his most challenging ever
The movie is a Netflix Original and so is available to all subscribers on the streaming platform now, having been released way back in November.
One of the buzziest Netflix titles of 2020 was writer-director Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, which tells the story of the bizarre trial of protesters in the wake of unrest at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen and Mark Rylance are among the glittering A-list cast. As well as a nomination in Best Picture (Drama), Sorkin was also recognised for both his direction and screenplay, with Cohen a frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor. The movie also secured a Best Original Song nod for Celeste and Daniel Pemberton's Hear My Voice.
As with Mank, the movie is available to stream now on Netflix.
From the moment Eternals director Chloe Zhao's drama Nomadland debuted on the festival circuit last year, it was always pegged as a major contender for awards season silverware. Based on a non-fiction book, the film features Frances McDormand as a woman who lost everything as a result of the recession and decided to travel across America living as a nomad. Its four nominations are for Best Picture (Drama), McDormand for Best Actress (Drama) and Zhao for both directing and screenplay.

The movie is due to be released by Disney through the Searchlight Pictures label. In the USA, it had a brief January cinema run ahead of appearing on Hulu this month. Currently, the movie has a 19 March release date in the UK, if cinemas are able to re-open.
Carey Mulligan is in among the nominations for her performance in Killing Eve showrunner Emerald Fennell's savagely funny take on the toxic attitudes of "nice guys". Mulligan plays a former medical student who spends her evenings pretending to be drunk and subsequently challenging the supposedly compassionate men who, under the guise of caring for her, try to take advantage. Promising Young Woman is nominated for four awards — Best Picture (Drama), Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actress (Drama).
Read more: Critic defends controversial Promising Young Woman review
In terms of a UK release, things are a little up in the air. Promising Young Woman was released theatrically in the USA over Christmas, and then subsequently on VOD platforms. On this side of the Atlantic, though, Universal Pictures is currently listing the movie as simply "coming soon".
Perhaps surprisingly, The Father was one of the big successes of the Golden Globes. An understated portrayal of Anthony Hopkins's title character suffering from dementia, it doesn't scream success at the glitzy Globes. However, the movie earned four noms — Best Picture (Drama), Best Actor (Drama), Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Olivia Colman, as Hopkins's daughter.
Lionsgate have distribution responsibilities for the movie in the UK and it's currently set to be released into cinemas on 12 March.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
Sacha Baron Cohen was the toast of the Golden Globes, equalling the record for the most nominations by an individual at a single ceremony. His return to the role of Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm earned him several nods, including for Best Actor (Musical or Comedy). The film was also nominated for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) for breakout star Maria Bakalova.
Read more: Cohen says he won't play Borat again
The movie was sold to Amazon Prime Video in a big money deal reportedly worth $80m (£58m), enabling it to be released prior to the presidential election of last year. It is available to stream on the service now.
Regina King is one of three women nominated for Best Director at this year's Golden Globes — a historic moment of diversity for the awards ceremony. Sadly, her brilliant directorial debut One Night in Miami — which imagines a motel room meeting between four Black icons — was not nominated for Best Picture (Drama). Leslie Odom Jr. did, however, manage to score a supporting actor nomination for his portrayal of Sam Cooke, and also earned a Best Song nod for Speak Now.
The movie is available to stream worldwide via Amazon Prime Video.
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is at the centre of the awards conversation this year, with a sad under-current of tragedy. George C. Wolfe's adaptation of the classic August Wilson play features the final screen performance of Chadwick Boseman, who passed away last year. Boseman is tremendous as the arrogant trumpet player Levee and is the frontrunner for Best Actor (Drama). The movie is also nominated at the Globes for Best Actress (Drama), thanks to Viola Davis's performance in the title role.
Read more: Disney honours Boseman with new Black Panther credits
As with so many of the major contenders this year, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a Netflix Original and so is available for subscribers to stream right now.
Is it a movie? The Golden Globes have decided that the answer to that question is yes. And so, the filmed production of Lin-Manuel Miranda's slice of historical hip-hop is up for two awards at this year's ceremony. Miranda is nominated for Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) and the film as a whole got a nod in the Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) category.
Read more: Inside the Hamilton phenomenon
There's a roughly 90% chance you've seen it already but, in case you've been living under a rock for the last year — entirely possible due to lockdown — it's available to stream via Disney+.
It's fair to say that heads were scratched in some quarters yesterday when Ryan Murphy's glitzy musical found itself with a pair of Golden Globe nominations. The movie is nominated for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), with James Corden given a nod in the Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) category, despite his performance receiving heavy criticism. Corden plays an openly gay Broadway veteran who, along with his friends, travels to a small town in order to make a lesbian teenager their pet cause.
As part of Murphy's new mega-deal with Netflix, The Prom is available to stream now on the service.

APPLETON, WIS. — Kathy Privatt, associate professor of theatre arts at Lawrence University, has been named the college's James G. and Ethel M. Barber Professor of Theatre and Drama. Appointments to endowed professorships recognize academic distinction through teaching excellence and/or scholarly achievement.
Privatt
A member of the Lawrence theatre department since 1999, Privatt has directed nine main stage productions, including 2005's "Language of Angels," which was chosen as a "showcase production" for the regional competition of the American College Theater Festival in Normal, Ill. Sixteen student actors under Privatt's direction have qualified for the ACTF's Irene Ryan Irene Acting Scholarship Competition.
She has served as a guest director for Appleton's Attic Theatre and worked with the Memorial Presbyterian Church on a series of "reader's theatre" productions. Privatt also has been involved as an actor for several years with a state-wide crisis intervention training program for law enforcement officers. The program is a joint venture of the Appleton Police Department and the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
In announcing the appointment, Lawrence President Jill Beck commented on Privatt's great devotion to the performing arts and her success in using theatre to help students develop the qualities of liberally educated persons.
"Professor Privatt's passion for theatre has energized a similar passion in her students," said Beck. "She stands as an inspirational model for all who know her."
Privatt's scholarship includes the art theatre movement and corporate funding on Broadway. Her essay "'Modern Medicis:' Disney On Broadway" was included in the 2007 book "Angels in the American Theatre."
Her current research focuses on the Alexander Technique, an educational model designed to improve everyday use of the body in movement. Privatt is pursuing teacher certification in the technique with plans to develop courses in it for Lawrence actors, musicians, athletes, and others interested in physical dysfunction.
She earned her bachelor's degree magna cum laude in theatre and speech at Central Missouri State University and her Ph.D. in theatre from the University of Nebraska.
The Barber Professorship was established in 1985 by Ethel Barber, a 1934 graduate of Milwaukee-Downer College, and recognizes her lifelong interest in and support of the performing arts and higher education.
She was the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in the department of interpretation from Northwestern University's School of Speech and enjoyed a successful career as a director of radio and theatre productions and as a lecturer.
Barber served as a member of the Lawrence University Board of Trustees from 1968 to 1988 and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree by Lawrence in 1985.

Since the massive protests came to an end and the campaign to get the current Governor recalled from his position, workers have remained silent, largely hoping that an election of Democrats will stop the attacks on their wages and working conditions. Patriotism and democratism stand like a pair of blinders on the working class while the capitalists are already preparing more attacks. As reactionary as a given faction of our ruling bourgeois class may be the other bourgeois faction will simply carry out the same attacks as soon as elected.
A whole shelf of books has been published on the protests of last year here in Wisconsin. The doctors who wrote sick notes for the workers who walked off the job have been sanctioned. Now the unions have no purpose and serve no function for workers at all. Stripped down to the bone, with only the faithful left as members, with union meetings too small even to take a proper vote on anything. It is like sitting through a wake, only with voting. Now there are no third party grievance procedures, no transfer rights, no contract bargaining and (still) no formal "right" to strike. Overtime rules have been gutted. Now the leading Democratic challengers for Governor aren't even claiming to give back anything workers have lost, even if they managed to get elected. There were certainly never be any recovering the lost take-home pay for state workers.
The flagship university in the University of Wisconsin system is located in Madison, not far from the seat of state government. The university administrators have managed to get the UW Madison separated from the rest of the state civil service, even separated institutionally from the UW system schools themselves. The university has been privatized. A series of "Human Resources Redesign" meetings have been held with the aim of making a show of inclusiveness in making their new system. To encourage cronyism and division among workers "merit pay" is an idea being strongly pushed by state management at these meetings. To separate the UW Madison workers from their counterparts working the same office jobs for the branches of state government bureaucracy strengthens the hand of the capitalists considerably. For the university administration the austerity decree of the Governor gave the perfect opportunity for the UW to give itself less oversight and more opportunities for cronyism and a more suitably divided workforce. More sinisterly, the Human Resources staff who are holding these Human Resource Redesign meetings for workers are asking workers what would be the best way to conduct layoffs. Indeed if the UW officials are bothering to ask workers such questions they are probably expecting to have to conduct mass layoffs sooner or later. What is also evidently clear since the end of the old contract is that the administration wants to introduce a "merit pay" scheme whereby management decides which of their favorite workers get a miniscule raise. Grievance procedures gave workers a slim chance of placing a union in between themselves and management when handling a grievance. Now the state sector will have its own grievance board, thus the capitalist bureaucracy will be policing itself, or not as is likely.
Recall elections on May 8th has made Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett the official alternate candidate of the bourgeoisie. The Democratic Party is well practiced at eclipsing such things. Without the unions workers are faced with a need to create a broader organization of workers that doesn't allow itself to be divided from workplace to workplace. Workers can wait for one election after another but unless revolutionary class politics become de-stigmatized and revolutionaries start making themselves heard among their fellow workers the present state of affairs will be unlikely to change for the better.
We don't need or want the "right" to strike. We just do it. If you wait for permission to do it, there'll be no point. Asking for a wage increase, cap in hand, is only stage one. If you get an increase it'll soon be eaten up. We have to get rid of the Great Satan: the abhorrent and now unworkable and bankrupt system called capitalism. We won't be given permission, or given the "right" to do this. From the bosses point of view we'll be acting illegally. We don't need their approval to get rid of them and their blood-sucking system. The way of life we will replace theirs with is called communism, and it is an unimaginably better system than they can ever come up with. They've had their day.
So, as a beginning, don't ask for the right to strike. Just organize and do it.
I fully agree with you that no worker should be asking the capitalists for a right to strike. Most workers involved in the protests simply accept that they are "citizens" in a grand old republic and that this requires them to play by the established rules. In Wisconsin things, in a matter of days went from a walkout situation to a go back to work and wait for a whole year to go to the polling places to lose themselves an election. The Democrats swooped down, took over effortlessly and derailed everything. In the Oakland protests these stayed out of the Democratic Party orbit a little better. Anyway, your comments are very appreciated and I will keep posting on this as things arise.

Olmos River (Río Olmos), is a river in the Lambayeque Region in northwestern Peru. It flows off the west slopes of the Andes and its tributaries, such as Los Boliches, carry little additional water.  As a result, it is a low flow stream, intermittent in its lower reaches only flowing during the rainy season (mid November to mid April).  Before it can reach the Pacific Ocean it disappears into the alluvium of the Sechura Desert. The Olmos River is  long and its river basin covers .

The river starts in Huancabamba Province and flows south and west into Olmos District of Lambayeque Region. It passes just south of the town of Olmos, from which the river takes its name.

Olmos irrigation project
The Olmos irrigation project diverts  of water from the Tabacones River, a tributary of the Huancabamba River, at the Limón dam via a 24 km tunnel to the Olmos River. The diversion includes a hydroelectric power plant and it irrigates about  in the Pampas de Olmos.

BOULDER – Wunder Capital – a Boulder startup aimed at connecting accredited investors with medium-sized businesses looking to install rooftop solar equipment – closed recently on a $3.6 million Series A funding round that will help the company continue to expand its reach.
Boulder-based Techstars Ventures, Washington-based Fenway Summer and New York-based Fintech Collective led the round.
The cash infusion comes as Wunder is fresh off of a move from Galvanize's Boulder campus to a new office at 17th and Walnut. CEO and cofounder Bryan Birsic said the seven-person company will grow by three or four employees over the next couple of months and likely double to 15 by the end of the year – adding to its engineering, design and marketing teams.
Wunder, founded in 2013 and a 2014 graduate of the Techstars Boulder accelerator, currently offers a pair of funds in which investors can place as little as $1,000 and have immediate diversification across a number of large-scale solar projects.
The company's first fund is aimed at lending directly to businesses installing solar. The businesses essentially receive a 6 percent loan paid back to investors in the fund over 10 years. The second fund, which launched in November, provides shorter-term bridge funding to installers and offers investors 11 percent annual interest over two years.
Wunder originates, underwrites and services the loans, making its money by charging an upfront loan origination fee and an ongoing loan-servicing fee to the borrower.
Wunder has brought in more than $1 million across the two funds that has been used to back an undisclosed number of projects to date. Birsic said the average investment has so far been more than $15,000.
The investment in solar is a strong one for investors, Birsic said, not only because of the increasingly strong market for the industry but also because the asset and structure of Wunder's loans help reduce risk. In the case of the first fund, for example, part of Wunder's original contract with borrowers is to grant the company a $1 per year site lease. So if the borrower defaults on the loan, Wunder still can access the panels to service and operate them, and can sell the power they generate either back onto the grid or to a new tenant of the building they're installed on.
The model gives individual investors who might not have the capital to invest in major utility-scale solar projects an in to the solar industry.
But Jason Seats, a partner at Techstars focused on the organization's investment arm, said the Wunder model also is providing loan capital for solar to businesses for smaller-sized projects for which large institutional investors won't generally bother lending money.
"They're aiming at a segment of the market of commercial solar that is typically understood to be hard to underwrite from a risk standpoint," Seats said.
The model is particularly timely, Seats said, because as the cost of solar decreases relative to retail power costs, the financing payments start to feel more and more just like a monthly utility payment and less like a business is paying a premium for solar power.
Birsic, who cofounded Wunder with Dave Riess and Sam Beaudin, declined to disclose revenue for Wunder. He said he believes Wunder is fully capable of reaching profitability within the next couple of years and could stand on its own at that point.
"But my suspicion is we're growing quite well and would like to bring in more capital to grow even faster," Birsic said.
Correction: The original version of this story stated the minimum investment to Wunder Capital funds as $5,000 instead of $1,000.

Saturday night, in the company of our wonderful hosts, Hilton Hotel Cambridge City Centre, we were treated to something a little bit special by the "Faulty Towers – The Dining Experience" team. We rolled back the years and left ourselves in the capable hands of Basil, Sybil and Manuel for the evening as we all joined them for a delightful 3 course meal. It was an absolute pleasure to see over 80 guests not only laugh for 3 hours but raise over £1000 for Spectrum in the process, which is absolutely amazing.
We are truly grateful to everyone who attended the night and will continue to struggle to find the right superlative to describe just how brilliant the Faulty Towers team were. In addition to this we cannot thank the Hilton team for all their efforts on the event and their exceptional service on the night. We are truly blessed to work alongside them, it was a perfect evening.
A huge thank you from everyone at Spectrum and keep checking back to us to see what we have in store with the Hilton next!

2019 Renault Clio spied
Next-gen hatchback to be tech showcase
The fifth-generation Renault Clio has been spied during development testing this week, sporting a heavy disguise ahead of an anticipated reveal at the Paris motor show in September.
Despite the swathes of wrap and black tape, we can see the next iteration of the French light hatch will evolve into a miniature version of the Megane, which is no bad thing.
It appears to have a lower and wider look, with Renault's newest corporate face sitting proudly at the front. It's harder to see the changes at the rear, but going by the company's latest models, the tail-lights will be joined through the middle by a large badge and connecting LED strips.
While the design may not see radical changes compared to the current model, it's believed the new Clio will offer a range of new-age driver assistance and powertrain technologies to compete with the best in the segment – namely the new Volkswagen Polo and Ford Fiesta.
Semi-autonomous driving functions and active safety tech have been mooted, along with an all-electric powertrain option – though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Meanwhile, the interior is expected to get a design and trim overhaul, with the cockpit expected to be dominated by a massive central infotainment display.
The new Renault Clio is anticipated to be scheduled for reveal at the 2018 Paris motor show in September. Stay tuned to CarAdvice for our coverage.

Jean Kirschenheiter came to MilitaryMamaNetwork in an unusual way. She had lost her son to suicide. She wondered if we would still welcome her; at least that was the question she asked: am I welcome. The answer, of course, was yes. Our question to her: how can we help? We connected her with TAPS.org in the days following the loss of her son. TAPS is a wonderful organization. They walk with families devastated and shocked by loss. They help get family members taken care of; have retreats and events for family members; and offer gatherings for surviving family members. They responded to Jean; but still for she and many others who have lost family members to suicide, there is a gaping hole and a question. Will you help me honor my loved one? Are you a safe place for me to share my story? It is our hope that MMN is a safe place for stories. A place to share the tears and the pride; a network of people who embrace our families through loss and beyond the first days, weeks, months and even years.
Jean shared a video she made of Raymond. I wept when I saw it. He looked happy; had a beautiful family and was celebrating his retirement from the military. Raymond, like so many we have lost to suicide, seemed to have everything to live for. We don't know what happened the day Raymond died. But in the days, weeks, months following, we know this: Raymond has a legacy to share. His mama was committed to keeping it. Raymond decorated headstones at every request. He honored the fallen with flags, time and a pause at each gravesite. After Raymond's death, his mama continues the tradition. She laid wreaths this year, in snow so deep she got stuck. She was cold, and sad in a way few of us understand, but she kept going. For Raymond. For his family. For every family represented that day. She's keeping Raymond's promise. We are keeping ours….meet Raymond. In his mama's words.
He was my oldest son. Raymond was a very thoughtful person. Many of his friends & coworkers have said that he was always willing to stop what he was doing to give a hand & help out. My first memory of Raymond was he was a good child. He did well in school & church. My best memory is a photo of him from a computer page that said Happy Mothers day Mom! I still have it on my wall in a frame, he was in Iraq at the time too. My most vivid memory would be the time he surprised me at home by showing up unexpected From being overseas. It as a warm summer day and he had a big smile on his face. I hugged and kissed him and didn't want to let him go.
The hardest thing about losing my son is the heartache–it never goes away. They say it gets easier in time but you never forget. If my son was still here with me today I would be saying please reach out to your parent, friends, coworkers etc… we love you dearly and want you to get the mental help services you need as a veteran and deserve. I miss my son's phone calls: he always sounded cheerful and concerned for me. He never let on that PTSD was a serious issue for him.
I think he would want to be remembered for being a great father to his 4 children. He loved and adored that role dearly. His biggest obstacle is that he became a teacher instructor in the states because he did not want to have to go back to the war in Iraq/ Afghanistan again after the 4th time.
We didn't really have many disagreements but we didn't see eye to eye on about why his father and I divorced so I never mentioned it again.
What makes me smile about Raymond is how proud I was of him for all his accomplishments. He went to night college courses in between teaching. My relationship with my son was a very loving one. I could have never asked for a more kind and caring son if I was looking for one. I felt like I had the grand prize already.
My son was a handsome man whether he was dressed in military clothing or regular day clothes. He did like his shorts and flipflops mostly. I don't remember him ever playing any jokes but he did have a very hearty laugh and sense of humor.
The day his daughter Emma Grace was born he was beaming with huge smiles and she became daddy's little girl. I believe his hopes and dreams were that he was happy & grateful to have a great family; his new job was doing well.
My son Raymond recently had a tattoo on his arm of all of his children. That's how much he loved them. Not too many people knew that.
The most thing that help me in my grief is for my friends & family remember him. Many people don't know what to say to me or is there anything I can do. My answer is yes, please come and visit me. Give me a friendly call to chat. Ask me out for coffee or lunch. It's been 4 months now and everyone has seemed to disappeared.
Having Thanksgiving dinner without him was very hard. So I set a place setting for my son at the table. It is now almost Christmas and I wish it was over and gone. I can't even put up a tree or decorations. The only thing that has kept me going on a daily basis is my daughter & grandsons.


great, now i'm addicted to chocolate ice cream too. i had a bowl late last night to keep myself awake (and give my taste buds a treat) while editing into the wee hours, and now i need one for absolutely no reason. why did i have to buy the extra-big container?
Vanilla bean ice cream is just as addictive. Try Skinny Cows or Breyer's Light if you're worried about it becoming an ongoing problem.
How do you eat so much ice cream and Daily's bacon and stay thin as a rail???? The world is not fair!

The thought of an epic race across the country might conjure up images of the 1965 movie "The Great Race." But in a 21st-century version starting Saturday, the roles of drivers Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are being replaced by (what else?) machines.
The challenge is daunting. The robot racers have 10 hours to complete about a 250-mile trek from Bartstow, Calif., to Las Vegas, mostly through the Mojave Desert. They'll have to avoid rocks, trees, and critters that could block their path.
One other detail: No human intervention is allowed. The vehicles will have to rely on computer vision, GPS receivers, lasers, software, and other high-tech gear to navigate independently.
The goal of the Grand Challenge race is to test and develop navigation technologies and automated vehicles that could someday save lives in military convoys by carrying food or oil across unfriendly highways. It's part of a Pentagon plan to have a third of all military ground vehicles unmanned by 2015. Smaller robots also could wend through caves and tunnels looking for foes and booby traps. Eventually, such technologies could end up in civilian vehicles.
But there are questions about the technologies, and race observers wonder whether even a single robot will finish Saturday's race in the allotted time. Teams that took part in trials earlier this week failed in their first try to finish a flat obstacle course strewn with bricks, gravel patches, and metal rods.
"It's a marriage of the geeks and the greaseballs," says Sal Fish, the lead designer of the course. "If they go even two miles, I'll be in awe."
For months now, backyard inventors have been scrambling to build their robot racers. The winning team gets a $1 million prize, courtesy of the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), and a chance to show off its engineering and programming prowess. If all goes as hoped, a vehicle will recognize on its own whether it's speeding toward a tumbleweed or a boulder. If things go really well, it will correctly tell its steering and braking systems what to do.
Even race organizers are skeptical the cars will manage. "I'm sure one of them is going to go off the cliff," says a spokesman who requested anonymity. "I hope our camera team is there to catch that."
Some of the challenge stems from the race course itself. Part of it runs through narrow, mountain trails with sharp turns. Then there's the desert's disdain for tires and fuel injectors - or the chance that a spot of mud could blind a laser system. There's also the technology itself, much of it still in its early stages.
For example, coordinating sensors with navigation and steering systems has proved a daunting challenge. The machines have difficulty discerning dips in the road and figuring out whether they can drive over a "soft" bush or whether the object is a rock that could cause damage.
The autonomous racers, which include souped-up dune buggies, all-terrain vehicles, and a 28-foot troop carrier, have been built by high school students, computer programmers, and college students from all over the country.
The 20 or so teams have corporate sponsors, and many have spent more than the $1 million prize on their inventions.
Their vehicles are backyard mechanics' versions of the NASA rovers exploring Mars.
But the Grand Challenge course might actually be tougher. After all, there are no coyotes, speed requirements, or traffic to contend with on Mars. Nor do Martian explorers face the possibility that if they enter a tortoise habitat near the route, the human observersfollowing each vehicle will hit the kill button to protect the animals and disqualify the vehicle.
Student engineers won't know what the route is until two hours before the race starts, when DARPA will give competitors a CD-ROM with GPS coordinates. They can do some last-minute programming to adjust to the topography, but after that vehicles must navigate on their own.
The most feared competitor - Carnegie Mellon University's "Red Team" - has been scrambling all week after its $3 million-plus 1986 Hummer rolled over during practice last week, forcing quick repairs to antennae and sensors. The team, whose sponsors include Intel Corp. and Boeing Co., is led by William "Red" Whittaker, who used robots to explore Antarctica in 1993.
Corporations see plenty of commercial applications emerging out of this race, and they're showing support by donating equipment and advice to teams.
Though the days of drivers sleeping safely during their morning commutes are far away, John Deere, which has supplied GPS systems to some DARPA teams, says it may get new ideas for a driverless tractor it is developing to spray apple orchards. Other firms are looking into collision-avoidance systems.
"We assume there will be major DARPA contracts from this," says John Porter of Team SciAutonics, formed mainly by Rockwell employees who hope to become a funded company after the race.

MINNEAPOLIS — Two Dakota Access Pipeline protesters unfurled an anti-DAPL banner from the rafters high above the Minnesota Vikings game Sunday, but the game went on.
The Vikings' home stadium in Minneapolis is named U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minneapolis-based financial institution is reportedly a major investor in the controversial project.
The Minneapolis Police Department identified the climbers as Karl Mayo, 32, and Sen Holiday, 26.
"They climbed up a metal guardrail to climb up these big trusses that hold up the roof," said Minneapolis police spokeswoman Sgt. Catherine Michal.
Those sitting beneath the dangling protesters were evacuated as negotiators tried to persuade the climbers to return to solid ground, she said.
Several fans posted images on social media, saying they noticed the banner in the first half of the game. Eric Biermann of Minneapolis told CNN he saw police gathering on the platform above banner.
Jordan Proctor of Cedar Falls, Iowa, said he noticed the banner after a friend texted him during the first half.
A reporter for CNN affiliate WCCO tweeted footage of the two protesters being taken into custody. Michal confirmed the arrests. The banner remained in the rafters.
Citing a police spokesman, WCCO's David McCoy reported that the protesters demanded the media be present when they came down from the rafters. Once down, they were taken to jail and charged with trespassing, McCoy said.
A third person, identified by police as Carolyn Feldman, 27, was arrested on charges of obstructing the legal process, a misdemeanor, police said. It's not clear what role, if any, Feldman played in the protest action.
At no point was the game interrupted, Michal said.
"The pipeline is dangerous for any community it passes through," said Karl Zimmermann, identified in the news release as the second climber. It's not clear if Zimmermann and Mayo are the same person.
CNN has not been able to independently obtain the statement.
A spokesperson for Standing Rock Indian Reservation said the climbers were not affiliated with its protest.
U.S. Bank Senior Vice President Dan Ripley declined comment, as did the Minnesota Vikings. SMG, which operates the stadium, said only that it dispatched police and fire personnel to clear the seats below the banner and worked to get the protesters down safely.
The $3.7 billion DAPL will run almost 1,200 miles from North Dakota's oil-rich Bakken Formation to Illinois, moving as many as 470,000 gallons of crude oil a day.
While its backers say it will represent an economic boon and make the country more self-sufficient from an energy standpoint, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has sued the US Army Corps of Engineers, which approved the project.
The statement reportedly sent by protesters says Sunday's stunt was timed to coincide with a January 1 deadline for the pipeline, after which investors would be allowed to withdraw their contracts from the project if the pipeline had not been completed.
According to the myth-busting site Snopes, the Dakota Access vice president wrote in an August court document that if the project was not completed by Sunday, third parties would be able to cancel business contracts.
However, it's not clear if any investors intend to terminate their contracts or what effect missing the January 1 deadline will have on the project, the site reported.

Robot girl's mechatronic creation
HIGH-TECH: Mechatronics engineering student Zoe Renando is part of a team heading to Singapore to compete in the Maritime RobotX Championships. Contributed
by Hannah Busch
Hannah Busch eatures and Special Publications Editor Hannah began writing for APN newspapers in Hervey Bay and Maryborough in 2011, writing about everything from the prize-winning sausages to murder trials. She joined the team at the Queensland Times in early 2014 as editor of City Heart and Roughin It magazines.

IPSWICH mechatronics student Zoe Renando and her teammates have spent the past eight months trying to perfect a self-driving boat that could have major implications on the future of marine rescues and disaster recovery.
She is one of six students chosen to take part in the first international Maritime RobotX Championships, being held in Singapore next month.

They have been tasked with using a basic boat design, also given to the 14 other international teams, and build on it using their own motors and electronic equipment. The marine robots will then face a complex series of challenges to determine which team takes out the title.
Ms Renando, now in her second year studying mechatronic engineering, hopes to one day turn it into a career in robotics.
She has taken to organising the logistics of getting the six-person team, and their high-tech boat, to Singapore to compete.
The competition includes two other teams chosen from Australian universities, and three teams each from four other countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea and Singapore.
QUT roboticist and team advisor Dr Matt Dunbabin said in a statement the competition would help develop the use and design of robotic boats for real-world tasks such as search and rescue and disaster response.
He said existing autonomous boats could get from point A to point B, but couldn't work in environments where the unexpected and unforeseen could happen.
"This competition is a test bed for creating the technology needed to build robotic boats that perform the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs human mariners can't, or don't want to do," Dr Dunbabin said.
"The technologies we're developing for the competition we believe will one day save lives."

Competing is a big challenge for the team of students, both in designing the equipment for their boat and raising the money to get over there.
Ms Renando said the team was looking for sponsors to help meet the cost of freighting their boat to Singapore and meeting travel costs for team members. She estimated it would take at least $10,000 to get the team to Singapore.
Anyone interested in assisting the team can contact Dr Dunbabin by phoning 31380392 or by emailing m.dunbabin@qut.edu.au.
The Maritime RobotX Championships will be held from October 20-26.

Jan Steffen Bartstra, (Westerbork, 30 juni 1887 - Haarlem, 19 november 1962) was een Nederlandse historicus.

Bartstra, zoon van predikant Steffen Bartstra, bezoekt het gymnasium te Sneek, waar hij actief is in het verenigingsleven en de propaganda op het gebied van de drankbestrijding en het religieus socialisme. Hij studeert Nederlandse letteren te Leiden. Na zijn doctoraal examen in 1912 zou hij bij Carel Hendrik Theodoor Bussemaker promoveren, maar Bussemaker overleed in 1914. In 1913 wordt hij leraar aan het gymnasium te Schiedam.

Bij Hajo Brugmans, hoogleraar aan de Universiteit te Amsterdam, promoveert hij in 1928. In 1938 wordt hij door het curatorium tweede geplaatst op de voordracht voor de leerstoel algemene geschiedenis aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam; in 1939 weigert hij die voor vaderlandse geschiedenis.

In 1950 ontvangt hij de Prijs voor Meesterschap van de Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde en in 1952 wordt hij benoemd tot lid van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen, (KNAW).
