On Aug. 15, Syracuse will again welcome international visitors gathering to discuss indoor air quality, healthy buildings and energy efficiency. Continuing the success of Healthy Buildings 2009, hosted by the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (SyracuseCoE), Syracuse University will host the 7th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation and Energy Conservation in Buildings (IAQVEC). The conference will be held Aug. 15-18 on the SU campus and will highlight Syracuse's commitment to supporting research and exploration in the field of green building technologies.
IAQVEC is a premier international conference series, held once every three years. Previously, it has been held in Montreal, Canada (1992, 1995); Lyon, France (1998); Changsha, China (2001); Toronto, Canada (2004); and Sendai, Japan (2007).
IAQVEC 2010's technical program, with a theme of "Innovation and Integration," will include eight keynote lectures to be delivered by prominent scientists, researchers and architects from Asia, Europe and North America, and feature more than 150 oral and poster presentations.
In addition to SU's L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS), conference co-hosts include SyracuseCoE, the National Research Council of Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The conference will cover a wide range of key research areas with the goal of simultaneously improving buildings' indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency and enhancing occupants' well-being and productivity. IAQVEC 2010 will provide a forum for presentations of original research work and findings, demonstration and displays of innovative technologies, and discussions of future challenges and opportunities.
Following Bellenger, Josh Uhl of Toshiko Mori Architect will speak about "Balance and Challenges of Integrated Practice." Toshiko Mori Architect was the design architect for the Syracuse CoE headquarters building.
The conference will focus on topics such as how to effectively measure the impacts of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) on human health, comfort, productivity and creativity, and how it can be improved in an energy-efficient and cost-effective manner. Included is a focus on the outdoor environment and urban setting impact IEQ, as well as energy efficiency of buildings and cities. An additional focus is on the solution to the major IEQ and energy problems in rural areas of developing countries.
A major concern that will be addressed is how to measure, model and control the multi-scale heat, air, moisture and pollutant transport and storage processes in buildings and how to make buildings intelligent, utilizing renewable energy sources, operating at low costs and responding to occupants' needs. Fundamentally, the conference will explore how to integrate green technologies in design practices and how to model and build a sustainable world.
The social program of IAQVEC 2010 includes several receptions combined with technical tours, as well as a conference dinner and entertainment by local artists such as the The Rick Montalbano Trio, The Oak Hollow Woodwind Quintet, vocalist Gina Fortunato, DANCER's Derek Corbett and Rachel Cooper, and pianist Philippe Lewalle.

James Takes New Steps Toward Independence
While many of the people living in our 24/7 care residences receive support from staff and their families, they also strive to achieve as much independence as possible. When James, a person we support at our 52nd Street residence, recently told staff about his desire to learn how to travel on his own, they immediately started putting together a plan to make it happen.
Our Community Services staff are committed to supporting individuals at home and in the community to learn skills that help them reach their fullest potential. James worked with staff members at his home to find the best solution to support his quest for further independence and developed a travel learning plan with him.
"James said he wanted to work on this himself," said Psychology Administrator Deniz Altan. "We met with him to talk about how to support him, and one of the least restrictive ways is to use his location on his phone."
Using his phone, staff can track James' precise location and ensure he is being supported during his travels. However, to approve sharing James's location with anyone, he needed to provide consent and receive approval from the Human Rights Committee. James advocated for himself, consenting to his location being shared and presented his travel learning plan to the committee himself. Now, after being approved and practicing with the technology, James can get to his day habilitation program on his own, fulfilling his wish to be more independent.
"I feel really brave when I am travelling on my own," said James. "I feel great, like a brand new me."
Staff assist him on his travels each day and are always aware of any changes that may occur to his schedule while travelling in the city.
"If I need help, it is there when I need it," said James.
"James is being supported out in the community without staff being physically with him," added Deniz. "He's really independent."
When James isn't travelling, he enjoys watching movies at home and talking to his friends.

Choosing healthy snacks is just as important to your nutrition plan as eating regular healthy meals each day. In the western world we are bombarded by high fat and sugary snack foods that are available to us at anytime of the day. This can be very tempting and can easily lead to the downfall of our best 'healthy eating intentions'.
Ideally, a snack food should provide us with an extra energy boost during the day without taking in any unwanted calories and prevent you from overeating at mealtimes. They should be nutritious and help contribute to our overall daily nutrition.
When it comes to snacks it is essential that you have planned ahead. This is the same advice we give for preparing meals. Keeping a stash of snacks handy can help you resist the temptation of high fat and sugary cakes, cookies, biscuits and confectionary that may be on offer. Planned snacking helps adherence to your daily food plan and will help you to avoid eating 'empty calories'.
10 Essential Healthy Snacks: plus health benefits.
Almonds: a handful as they are high in protein and fibre and a good source of magnesium and vitamin E (an antioxidant). Portion: 10-15 almonds.
Apricots: are high in beta carotene and could have a protective benefit against certain cancers. Dried apricots are the handiest. Take 6-8 apricots.
Apples: are good sources of vitamin C, fibre and contain quercetin an antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of damage cause by high cholesterol. Which may explain the term 'an apple a day will keep the doctor away'? Portion: 1 medium apple.
Banana: is a well packaged snack food that is popular amongst sports people as it contains carbohydrate fuel and potassium. Portion: 1 medium banana.
Blueberries: are a powerful antioxidant with health protective benefits against heart disease and certain cancers. Portion ½ cup.
Cherries: they contain vitamin C and antioxidants to help protect us from heart disease and specific cancers and also melatonin which helps sleep.
Fruit smoothie: a homemade fruit smoothie which contains berries with no added sugar can help boost vitamin and minerals, and contains more fibre that drinking a fruit juice. You can add in what you like, a low fat fruit yogurt added makes an ideal recovery drink after exercise. Portion: medium glass 250mls.
Yogurt: a low fat fruit yogurt or plain yogurt is high in calcium and the bio-live varieties are good for your gut. Go for a small pot (150g) serving.

"Bitegate" Casts Black Eye on World Cup
June 25, 2014 June 26, 2014 Chuckie MaggioFIFA, Italy, Luis Suarez, Uruguay, World Cup
Last week, Luis Suarez was a hero after scoring both Uruguayan goals to defeat England, knocking the British out of the World Cup. He was lauded for his incredibly fast recovery from knee surgery and his comeback was one of the feel-good stories of the tournament at the time.
How quickly things can change.
Uruguay's 1-0 win over Italy yesterday afternoon was overshadowed by star striker Luis Suarez's actions late in the game. With the game still scoreless in the 80th minute, Suarez bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini in the shoulder. No cards were issued, even as Chiellini showed the bite marks to referee Marco Rodriguez, who is ironically nicknamed "Dracula" because of his resemblance to the Transylvanian character.
This wasn't Suarez's first biting incident during a game; it was actually his third in the last four years. In 2010, with Holland club Ajax, he received a seven-game suspension for biting a PSV Eindhoven player on the shoulder. Last year, with Liverpool, he was suspended ten games for biting Chelsea player Branislov Ivanovic on the arm. Now, he's found himself at the center of controversy once again for arguably the most high-profile incident in World Cup play since France's Zinedine Zidane headbutted Italy's Marco Materazzi in the 2006 Final.
Both FIFA and the English Premier League need to send a message to Suarez that next time he's hungry, he better get a bite of food and not another player's skin. There is no place for such disrespectful actions in the sport, and his suspension should reflect that, especially since he's a repeat offender. Therefore, FIFA should suspend Suarez for 12 matches. A 12-match suspension is half of the maximum 24-game ban (which will not happen in this case), but is still enough to ensure Suarez is out of international competition for quite a while. In addition, the English Premier League, where Suarez plays with Liverpool FC, should suspend him for five games. The incident didn't happen in EPL play, so another 10-game ban isn't going to happen, but it would be irresponsible to let Suarez step right back on the field again with Liverpool after the World Cup is over. A five-game ban from club play definitely seems fair. If he switches to a team in another league in the transfer window, the same ban should apply.
Suspensions are not enough, however. Suarez must undergo counseling, because he needs to learn from it this time; whatever anger management classes he took after biting Ivanovic clearly didn't help. There's something seriously wrong with him, and maybe a professional is needed to figure out what it is. Biting isn't the only egregious thing Suarez has done on the field; he racially abused Patrice Evra in a Premier League game, repeatedly referring to the color of Evra's skin and calling him "Blackie" and "Negro." He's not only embarrassing himself, he's embarrassing his family and letting down his entire country as well. There have been no apologies issued to date and there's been no remorse; he legitimately thinks he hasn't done anything wrong.
An adult biting someone is one of the most repulsive and asinine things that could happen in our society. It makes the biter look like an animal who cannot control their undomesticated instincts, and in this case, it happened on soccer's biggest stage. Time for Luis Suarez to get domesticated before he steps foot on a soccer field again.

Q: Spring ehcache not beeing use
I'm trying to setup a simple Spring cache ehcache for my MVC page. But it seems that the cache is never used. My function is executed each time.
@Cacheable(value="newsDocuments",key="#category")
public List<ProcessedDocument> getDocuments(String category, int   limit){
    List<ProcessedDocument> list = new ArrayList<ProcessedDocument>();
    System.out.println("getDocumetns!" + DateTime.now());
    list = getDBStuff(category,limit);
    return list;
}

ehcache.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ehcache>
    <diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir" />
    <defaultCache maxElementsInMemory="100" eternal="false"
              timeToIdleSeconds="10000" timeToLiveSeconds="60000"   overflowToDisk="false" />
    <cache name="newsDocuments" timeToIdleSeconds="10000" timeToLiveSeconds="60000" maxElementsInMemory="10" eternal="false"    overflowToDisk="false" />
</ehcache>

spring config file

    @DynamoDBTable(tableName="ProcessedDocuments")
public class ProcessedDocument implements Serializable {
//Just contains some simple get and set methods.
}

Each time getDocuments is being executed, it calls the db and outputs a new "getDocumetns!" + DateTime.now() in the console.
The only "strange" I see in the debug is
DEBUG: net.sf.ehcache.config.ConfigurationHelper - CacheDecoratorFactory not configured. Skipping for 'newsDocuments'.
DEBUG: net.sf.ehcache.config.ConfigurationHelper - CacheDecoratorFactory not configured for defaultCache. Skipping for 'newsDocuments'.
INFO : org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - FrameworkServlet 'mvc-dispatcher': initialization completed in 875 ms

Am I missing something every basic here?

A: I looked for you and googled it .I found an example from Mkyong Ehcache example ;
http://www.mkyong.com/spring/spring-caching-and-ehcache-example/
and I think it will useful for you. Because your ehcache.xml: not similar
Mkyong's example  ehcache.xml.
I hope it will be useful for you..

QUENTIN TARANTINO TAPPED TO DIRECT DOWNTON ABBEY
Jul 13, 2018Chad SternbergerMovie News0
HOLLYWOOD – Quentin Tarantino's tenth and final film will be a big screen version of period television drama Downton Abbey.
Julian Fellowes confirmed to day that Quentin Tarantino has agreed to direct Downton Abbey: The Motion Picture. Speaking with the Studio Exec EXCLUSIVELY, he had this to say:
I think Quentin is a natural choice. Dialogue is important and so is a feel for period and dear Quentin has it in spades. Of course, he does want to rewrite the script a tittle but I dare say the changes will be consistent with the spirit of the show.
Tarantino is currently shooting Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but is understood to already be working on the new film. A source close tot he director – Michael Madsen – told the Exec:
Quentin has always been a huge fan of the series. We'd always go round to his place and he'd show the show on 35mm, because he'd actually film it on his TV with a movie camera and then scratch the negative and then watch it. That's how committed he is to the cinematic experience. What appeals to him is this closed world of a class system and all this underlying tension and violence. I can see myself playing Carson quite easily and I know that Uma Thurman is keen to play Lady Mary.
But what about the original cast?
Maggie Smith will be back. Of that I'm sure but Quentin likes using his people. Tim Roth will probably be a footman and Leonardo di Caprio will play Lord Crawley. That's nailed on.
Will there be some violence?
People get this idea of Quentin as only doing violence. I think that's not fair on the guy. He's capable of a lot more. But yeah there'll be some Mexican stand offs and some brutal gore.
Downton Abbey: The Final Showdown starts filming this Fall.

As I am sure you know yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday. The day of good football, delicious food and amazing commercials. It always amazes me how much money companies shell out in order to pay for a Super Bowl commercial spot. $4.5 million for a 30 second advertisement this year to be exact. Crazy. Just Crazy. I guess if you are spending that much money you better make sure you are showing a good commercial. Although I guess for some of those corporations $4.5 million is just a drop in the bucket. Again, crazy. Unfortunately, being a Canadian we don't get to see most of the American commercials at the time of the game. We must rely on YouTube or other such means to catch up after everyone else has already seen them. It's tragic I know. So I am looking for suggestions. Which were your favourite commercials?
And in honour of Super Bowl style foods and potlucks I decided to put together this chili. Because nothing says football quite like a good chilli right? No? Just me?
For me chilli is one of those all time comfort foods. I grew up eating chili on a regular basis and it's one of those foods that I actually miss since being on a paleo diet. Now you purists may say that I shouldn't be calling this chill since there are no beans involved. Well you are right, there aren't. But since beans are not allowed on the paleo diet I had to make some modifications. And I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out. It's loaded with vegetables and just the right amount of spice. Plus there is a little bit of cacao powder for a hint of sweetness. Sweet and spicy all at the same time. Oh yum!
I like topping mine with a little bit of raw mozzarella cheese. When it melts into the chill… oh man that's good! I have also added guacamole, raw parmesan cheese and nut butter and they all taste delicious. What do you add to your chili?
I would be thrilled if you visited me on Pinterest, Instagram or Facebook!

Student Advisory Committee (SAC) Advisory Group
The Utah State Board of Education Student Advisory Council (SAC) advises the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) on issues relevant to high school students throughout the state.
Board Policy 5008: Student Advisory Council (SAC)
Utah State Board of Education Policy, Law and Professional Practices
In order to gain valuable feedback from Utah students and to engage student leaders in learning by doing, the Utah State Board of Education has created the Student Advisory Council. This group will meet with the board and USBE staff, both in person and virtually, to discuss how decisions made at the state level are affecting students throughout Utah and provide feedback – from a student perspective – on critical issues impacting Utah students and schools.
The SAC is a school year-long program for Utah school students in grades 11-12. The SAC will play a vital role in providing input regarding issues that face education in Utah and work with the board and USBE staff to develop ideas that will work to improve and transform education.
The SAC seeks students with innovative ideas and thoughtful insight into how we can further improve our schools and student achievement. As such, we encourage students to apply who represent the diverse academic, geographic, demographic and school-size variables particular to our state.
One student member from each of the 15 State Board of Education districts (refer to Utah District Maps) will be chosen and serve a two year term (except seniors chosen for the inaugural 2018-2019 school year will only serve a one year term).
All student members are in grades 11-12 or at least 16 years old during the two years of service on the council.
Meeting Frequency
4-6 times per school year.
A minimum of three meetings a year will be held in person at the Utah State Board of Education building in Salt Lake City.

Palpatine Teases Rey's Secret In New Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker TV Spot
Matt Joseph Dec 13, 2019 5:21 pm 2019-12-13T17:30:35-05:00
"Darkness rises… and light to meet it."
For a villain who was only around for two films, Supreme Leader Snoke certainly brought us a lot of prescient lines about the Force, and the eternal struggle involving the dark side and the light. It's that same struggle – one between good and evil – that has really defined Star Wars ever since it first burst onto the scene back in '77. And now, with the conclusion to the saga set to touch down in theaters next week in the form of The Rise of Skywalker, we'll soon get to witness the Resistance mount a counter-attack against the First Order and an iconic villain that we all thought was dead.
Of course, we're talking about Sheev Palpatine – better known to most people as Darth Sidious or simply the Emperor – who looms over this brand new TV spot for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Embedded above, you'll find the latest promo for the film, which even at its brief 15 second runtime is packed with a ton of new shots, along with an ominous voiceover from the aforementioned big bad, who teases Rey's secret heritage.
EW Reveals New Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Images
To someone unknown, the Emperor is heard to say: "It is time that she learn her story." Presumably, he's talking to Kylo and no doubt referencing Rey's true parents. Or at least, some unknown secret about her lineage that will come to light in the film. And though there've been a ton of reports about what that may involve, we'll have the answers we so desperately crave soon enough.
For on December 20th, the hugely anticipated blockbuster that is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will touch down in theaters around the globe. Initial box office predictions have pegged the film at a solid but unspectacular $200M+ opening on home turf, though with hype starting to reach new highs, don't be surprised if it reaches a bit higher than that.


Time to start thinking about back to school and that means back to school supplies. We know it gets expensive when you're buying for one child let alone multiples.
So we've got the way to help save on those pricey and expensive back packs and let your kids decorate it in their own style.
Once you've selected a back pack then grab our iCraft® Deco Foil™ Liquid Adhesive and some of the fun colors (we have 18 now!) of our iCraft® Deco Foil™ Transfer Sheets.
1. Grab your Deco Foil™ Liquid Adhesive…and no wait…there's really not a whole lot of instruction to share other than. Have you kids sit down with the Liquid Adhesive and draw out their designs onto the backpack.
2. Go grab a snack, drink..watch a movie. We're serious too! This is the step that takes the longest as you'll need to give the Deco Foil™ Liquid Adhesive time to properly set. The liquid will go from cloudy to clear yet still remain tacky. Once it's reached this point..it's time to go to town.
Here's a video we made with our friends at ScrapTime to show you how to use the iCraft® Deco Foils™ with our Liquid Adhesive!

The Colombia Reader: History, Culture, Politics
Historical Voices, New Perspectives
A Review by A. Ricardo López
Ann Farnsworth-Alvear, Marco Palacios, and Ana Maria Gómez López, eds., The Colombia Reader. History, Culture, Politics (Durham: Duke University Press, 2017)
Fifteen-plus years ago, historian David Bushnell argued in his widely read textbook that Colombia was the least studied and probably the least understood major country in Latin America. The Colombia Reader will contribute much to solve this problem, while also placing Colombia at the center of historical understanding of Latin America as a region. It represents part of a historiographical shift in the way histories of Colombia are told. This impressive selection of historical documents—lyrics, poems, novels, historiographical reflections, cartographic descriptions, photo essays, interviews, art pieces, developmental programs—will become an essential teaching tool for anyone teaching about Colombia.
Facing the challenging task of what to include or exclude, the editors decided to integrate a fluid chronological organization with a quite perceptive thematic structure. The book thus examines questions of human geography, religion, city and country, lived inequalities, violence, and economic change and continuity across five centuries. A multiplicity of historical voices from nearly every conceivable ethnic/racial group, class position, social group, cultural construction, and political formation invites readers to put those actors in dialogue with one another in order to explain struggles for power and the consolidation of specific forms of domination.
As I went about the admittedly tough task of reading all of this voluminous book, I began to imagine multiple ways of how to use these documents in the classroom: reading Joe Arroyo's lyrics about "perpetual slavery" to discuss racial identities as well as narratives of slave rebellions, for instance, or assigning interviews with paramilitary leaders to understand neoliberal rule. This is perhaps the element that readers will appreciate the most because, although the editors contextualize for every document collected here and in so doing sometimes resort back to familiar tropes about Colombian history, there is also a clear effort to leave the presentation of those documents as open-ended questions. In that sense, the book intentionally and intellectually provokes the reader to think new narratives and interpretations of the histories of Colombia.
As Herbert Braun writes in his book endorsement, The Colombia Reader will allow people from Colombia to be historically understood alongside their fellow Latin Americans. I cannot emphasize how important this is. Colombia is too often cast as a singular, indeed unique, political place in both its hemisphere and even the broader world. The task is to connect more carefully local histories—and here the examples offered in the Reader are quite rich—with "big" questions or metanarratives. This book's documents can consequently be utilized not to prove some putative uniqueness of Colombian history, but rather to probe larger historical problematizations of colonialism, liberalism, populism, modernization, violence, peace, immigration, emigration, and political economies from coffee to flowers to cocaine. Histories of Colombia can accordingly contribute to the understanding of larger questions, thus avoid the methodological and theoretical reflex to nationalize, or even regionalize, historical narratives.
This book will allow us to write, teach, and tell not only different histories of Colombia but to write, teach, and tell those histories differently. Instead of arriving at different answers to the same questions that historians have posed during the last three decades about Colombia's past, this book convinced me that we need new questions so as to get different narratives of that past.
The publication of the Reader is also quite timely, as it invites us to avoid getting too comfortable with a teleological understanding of what is now called la era del posconflicto, in which violence is understood as it was in the past while peace is imagined in the present and future. Indeed, the documents compiled here are reminder that peace is not in opposition to power or domination but rather its contested product. This collection will certainly become a foundational teaching tool not only for the histories of Colombia but also those of Latin America.

With the rise of the software-defined enterprise, it's only a matter of time before the same programmable infrastructure concepts are applied to security as well.
Taking a major step in that direction, Intel this week unveiled a programmable Intel Security Controller that is specifically optimized for security technologies created by the McAfee subsidiary of Intel and deployed in environments running NSX software from VMware.
Rishi Bhargava, vice president of product management for Intel Security, says that the Intel Security Controller is scheduled to be available later this year and its integration with McAfee security technologies is one of the first unique instances where Intel is developing technology that specifically favors McAfee technologies over rival security vendors. As such, Bhargava says the Intel Security Controller is a big step toward validating Intel's decision to acquire McAfee.
Longer term, Intel has made it clear that its goal is to eliminate the need for both dedicated security and networking appliances. Toward that end, Intel has taken a leading role in promoting the adoption of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies. In that architecture, most security and networking functions will run on standard x86 server technology or some other form of commodity silicon.
Naturally, other security vendors are moving in the same direction. But with primary access to security controller technology developed by Intel, it's clear that McAfee is much more than an interesting investment in research and development for Intel.

Q: Exclude list entries with lambdas I have two lists of same type:
final List<MyType> myCurrentList = ...
final List<MyType> listFromDatabase = ...

MyType looks like this:
class MyType {

   private DateTime startDate;
   ...
}

Now I will get all MyType objects of myCurrentList where there is no entry of the same startDate in listFromDatabase.

A: First, you should collect all the startTimes from the database, preferably to a Set (since you only care about the dates being present there, not about multiple occurrences or their order):
Set<DateTime> datesFromDatabase =
    listFromDatabase.stream()
                    .map(MyTime::getStartTime)
                    .collect(Collectors.toSet());

Then, you can stream the current list, and retain only the objects that don't have a date in the database:
List<MyType> filteredList =
    myCurrentList.stream()
                 .filter(x -> !datesFromDatabase.contains(x.getStartTime())
                 .collect(Collectors.toList());


In honor of Independence Day I decided, when figuring out a topic for this post, that I wanted to write about something American, something that goes back to our roots as as "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". This isn't the time or the place for me to enumerate all the ways in which our country has been slipping from that ideal, expressed so beautifully in the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead, I'd like to highlight an issue which is often overlooked today, but was considered to be of great importance by our founding fathers. It might seem like a small thing, compared to some of the huge issues our nation is facing, but it's quite important, even vital, in its own way.
Show of hands: who's read "The Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation" (linked here) by George Washington? (Say that one five times fast.) Yes, the George Washington. If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend doing so; Washington's rules range from deep, thoughtful reflections on human nature ("Let your conversation be without malice or envy, for 'tis a sign of a tractable and commendable nature: and in all causes of passion admit reason to govern" [#58]), to highly practical, common sense advice ("In visiting the sick, play not the physician if you be not knowing therein" [#38]). Some of his rules sound a bit odd to us today ("Do not puff up the cheeks, loll out the tongue, rub the hands or beard, thrust out the lips, or bite them, or keep the lips too open or too close" [#16]), while some are still widely accepted norms of common courtesy ("Reproach none for the infirmities of nature, nor delight to put them that have in mind thereof" [#21]). However, all 110 rules in this handbook of polite behavior share one common source: courtesy. And in its turn courtesy has a source which goes far deeper than the norms of politeness and civility which are its outward expression. This source is reverence. And reverence is where, in a meeting which obviously never occurred in history (though hopefully in eternity!), George Washington, the founding father and first president of the United States of America, shakes hands across the centuries with Dietrich von Hildebrand, German Catholic philosopher and champion of human dignity.
In his book The Art of Living, Dietrich von Hildebrand defines reverence as "the attitude which can be designated as the mother of all moral life, for in it man first takes a position toward the world which opens his spiritual eyes and enables him to grasp values" (4). It is reverence which leads one to correctly appraise the dignity of each entity one encounters, and to treat them with a corresponding respect. Hildebrand goes on to state, "The man possessing reverence…does not fill the world with his own ego, but leaves to being the space which it needs in order to unfold itself. He understands the dignity and nobility of being as such…" (7). And, in the passage which serves as the connecting line between his thought and Washington's, Hildebrand declares, "The fundamental attitude of reverence is the basis for all moral conduct toward our fellowmen and toward ourselves" (9). This statement, while clear and straightforward in expression, is the basis for a highly rich and varied multitude of expectations and obligations. For when one recognizes the inviolable dignity of the human person, one is, as it were, commanded by reverence to acknowledge and respect that dignity. Courtesy and polite behavior, I would argue, are the concrete, outward ways in which every person is called to acknowledge the God-given dignity of his fellow men. In this vein, George Washington's "Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation" are a sort of Ten Commandments (Or rather, 110 Commandments!) of reverence.
When read in this light, the fundamental attitude of reverence undergirding all of Washington's rules becomes very clear. To refer again to the Art of Living quote above, "…reverence is the basis for all moral conduct toward our fellowmen and toward ourselves." And that is just what Washington's rules address; the conduct which is expected of a virtuous person towards himself and those around him. Some of Washington's guidelines are a bit outdated, referring to a cultural norm of courtesy which was specific to his time and place ("Spit not in the fire, nor stoop low before it, neither put your hands into the flames to warm them, nor set your feet upon the fire especially if there be meat before it." [#9]), while others seem almost too obvious to need mentioning ("In writing or speaking, give to every person his due title according to his degree & the custom of the place." [#39]), but all of them have as their root the very personalist and Hildebrandian concept of reverence for oneself and one's fellow man.
Even though this post is technically American-themed in honor of the Fourth, everything said above applies to everyone, everywhere. When it comes to reverence and its outward expression of courtesy, it doesn't matter what your nationality is, or whether you're the CEO of a business, the guy flipping burgers for minimum wage, or the First Lady. No matter who you are or what you do, you are a human person with an awesome and inviolable dignity which demands to be respected by yourself and your fellow men. And as our founding fathers stated so boldly in the Declaration of Independence, 240 years ago yesterday, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness", and we might add, reverence.


WABM launched on Jan 31 1986 is a station operating in Birmingham, AL and is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. Affiliated with MyNetworkTV the station is branded as My68 and is a sibling of WMBA-LD and WTTO. WTTP and WBMA are affiliates of CW and ABC respectively. The studios of the siblings sharing triopoly are located under one roof at the Riverchase office park on Concourse Parkway in Hoover. The transmitter facility of WABM is maintained at the American General Candelabra tower in Southwestern Birmingham. AT&T U-verse, Charter Spectrum and Comcast Xfinity are the cable carriers of the channel.

WABM went on air as WCAJ on Jan 31 1986 and originally broadcasted religious content. Catholic programming borrowed from Eternal Word Television Network were the programs introduced by the upstart station in the beginning. It would also air programming produced by Southern Baptist Convention station American Christian Television System. Drama, Comedy and Western programming were included in the initial lineups of WCAJ. The studios at that time were located at Samford University.
Following the launch of WTJP-TV by TBN in July 1986, the channel faced a significant decline in its viewership as a religious service. It became a fulltime Christian broadcaster at the start of 1987 however, started adding some home shopping content and infomercials by the fall. A select religious programming would still feature but in another move in 1990, the home shopping content and infomercials were taken off to give space to the religious programming once again.
Krypton Broadcasting in 1990 became the owner of WCAJ and the call were changed to WABM. Under the new ownership, independent general entertainment content was introduced in Jan 1991 and there came the dramas, movies and westerns. In the beginning WABM would face some competition from WDBB, (a fox affiliate at that time) WTTO and WNAL but eventually redeemed itself. Krypton released WABM to a locally based group in 1993, the owners of which immediately singed a LMA with Abry asset WTTO-TV. Though having different schedules under the Local Marketing Agreement, both would share select programming. It started carrying syndicated content from Prime Time Entertainment Network in Sep 1993. Sinclair Broadcast Group upon the acquisition of WABM in 1994 took over the rights to the Local Marketing Agreement.
WABM became a Charter affiliate of UPN on Jan 16, 1995, however, it still maintained its status as an independent station with only airing some of the prime time content produced by United Paramount Network on evenings of Monday and Tuesday. It disaffiliated with UPN for a brief period of time in March 1998 before rejoining the Network.
On Sep 5, 2006, WABM became a MyNetworkTV affiliate following an agreement between the news owner Sinclair and Fox Entertainment Group.


Today I wanted to show you the feature that FineStationery did about my work and myself. You can read the whole interview on Noted.
This card design is inspired by an iconic design, the Red and Blue Chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918. The chair is representative of De Stijl movement.
This card design is inspired by this gorgeous colourful boot. Image via The Blonde Salad. I think these bright colours make a wonderful summery party invite don't you think?
This card design is inspired by this gorgeous dress called Calculated Risk by Camilla and Marc. The colours and the design of this dress are slightly unusual but I think that is what makes this dress so unique. I think it also makes a great card too.
This card design is inspired by this beautiful photo by Not So Mumsy. The outfit is styled with items available from Katies. I thought the colours and the stripes gave this card a very nautical feel about it.
This card design is inspired by this t-shirt from Witchery. Stripes are so much fun to wear and they also make great cards too! I wouldn't normally put these two colours together, but I like the result.

«Вселе́нский ра́зум» — ландшафтная инсталляция Николая Полисского, созданная совместно с Никола-Ленивецкими промыслами в 2012 году в Парке «Никола-Ленивец». Самый продолжительный по времени воплощения и самый масштабный по площади проект Полисского.

Описание
Основа инсталляции — скульптура двух полушарий мозга, к которой ведёт двойная колоннада из 42 «ракет». По признанию автора, скульптура мозга изначально ассоциировалась у него с античной кудрявой головой.

«Вселенский разум» продолжает «научную серию» Николая Полисского, начатую работами «Байконур» (2005) и «Большой адронный коллайдер» (2009).

Проект «Вселенский разум» — самый продолжительный по времени воплощения (по разным источникам, 2,5 или 3 года) и самый масштабный по площади (около 1 гектара) проект Полисского.

Презентация проекта прошла 7 июля 2012 года, на Ивана Купалу.

Thank you to everyone who entered The Yearbook Committee giveaway. I really enjoyed hearing about everyone's embarrassing high school memories 🙂 We're lucky it does get better with age!
Congratulations to the lucky winner, Marje, who blogs at Kyrosmagica. Happy reading, Marje!
The Yearbook Committee is being described as this generation's The Breakfast Club and I can see why! The setting for this novel takes place in a private school. Five Year 12 students are thrown together onto the yearbook committee and we get to read about their progress over the entire school year.
The story is told from the perspective of each of the members of the yearbook committee who are all dealing with their own personal issues while they are completing their final year of high school. Despite the fact that almost none of them are on the committee by choice they gradually form friendships with each other and put together a pretty amazing yearbook.
The Yearbook Committee tackles some serious issues. Bullying is a major theme, and it's the kind of insidious, relentless gossip that is unfortunately far too common among females. It can be so difficult to pinpoint or deal with and I think Ayoub did a brilliant job of depicting it realistically. This kind of bullying has always been around in high schools (and some workplaces!), but it can be so much worse when it moves online. The problem with the internet is that everything on it is permanent and public. So, unlike the pre-internet days when you could go home from school and it didn't exist bullying now follows teenagers everywhere they go, even when they graduate! Apologies for the rant here, but it's a subject dear to my Internet Communications geek heart. Getting back on topic, brilliant job by the author to raise such an important issue in the language that teenagers will pay attention to!
This novel also tackles such issues as family and peer pressure, mental illness, self-esteem issues, gender stereotyping and questions about friendships, decency and life after school. And it is all presented in a non-preachy and brilliant story with interesting and well-developed characters that teenagers and YA fans will fall in love with. Bonus points from me because it was set in Sydney with many references to my hometown, Melbourne. And yes, Charlie should definitely visit Lord of the Fries when she goes to Melbourne for the weekend, but not with Pete because he's a jerk!
I have been meaning to get around to reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs for what seems like forever now. Well, I've been missing out for quite a while now because I really enjoyed it. Paranormal fantasy can be a bit hit or miss for me, but this novel had a lot more hits than misses.
Jacob's Grandfather has always told him fairy-tales, but these stories were a lot different from the usual run of the mill children's stories. They were full of monsters and magical children who lived at a home run by Miss Peregrine that Grandpa lived at as a child when he lost his family from Nazi Germany. He even had photos to prove it.
When Grandpa seems to be killed by the monsters from his stories Jacob travels to the isolated island in Wales to find Miss Peregrine and discover truth about his Grandfather and the monsters that were now haunting Jacob.
He discovers that his Grandfather was telling the truth after all and that Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children were still there, living in a kind of groundhog day situation called a loop. To protect themselves from the monsters that eventually killed Jacob's Grandfather the children were forced to hide in their loop, living out the same day on earth over and over again and never aging.
Of course the monsters turn up eventually, but I shouldn't get too far into that at the risk of spoiling the story. Unless I'm the only person who hasn't already read this novel? That could be a distinct possibility!
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children had quite a dark and Gothic feel to it and that feeling was enhanced by the inclusion of original photographs. I highly recommend purchasing a physical copy of this novel to truly appreciate the creep factor of them. Its also fascinating to note that 'photoshopping' images is such an old practice. I think its something that a lot of people consider to be a new thing, but people have been photoshopping weird things into their photos for a long time! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and am eagerly anticipating the sequel, Hollow City.

Liverpool have launched their new home kit for the 2018/19 season, with the club posting official images and videos online as they release it for pre-order.
The kit was launched with the 'This Means More' campaign, which according to the club website "brings to life the very essence of what it means to be a Red."
The redesigned New Balance strip differs from the 2017/18 model in that it features a buttoned collar instead of a v-neck and white detailing on the shoulders which is meant to reference the redesign of the Anfield Main Stand. The design also retains the darker 'Red Pepper' as its main colour, which has been popular with fans.

The specifics of the design were not a surprise to many, with images of the new kit leaked online prior to the official release.
According to the club site: "The new name and number style incorporated into Liverpool's 2018-19 home kit is inspired by Anfield and local street signs."
In addition the new typeface for the names and numbers on the kit has been inspired by the city itself.

"The style the typeface used on the main stadium signage at Anfield as well as that used on street signs throughout the city of Liverpool. In addition, depth is added to the numbering by incorporating the bold drop shadow seen in the seating within the stadium itself."
Alongside the images, the club released videos showing the city of Liverpool on a match day, with a range of players including Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane getting changed into the new strip.
"Our kit isn't just something we wear to play – it is part of who we are as a team," said Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.
"We feel immensely proud when pulling on the LFC home shirt, it means more to us than you could even imagine; after all, Liverpool Football Club is like no other. I have no doubt that our fans will love the new kit and will wear it with pride when supporting us this coming season."
Reacting to the first official images and video, Reds fans were generally positive but some had reservations about the collar and the fact that they would no longer be turning out in 2017/18's wildly popular design.

How Do Ultrasound Scans Work For Dogs?
What Are Ultrasound Examinations Used For?
How do you prepare a dog for an ultrasound examination?
Do Ultrasound Scans For Dogs Require Anesthesia?
How Long Do Dog Ultrasound Scan Results Take?
How Much Do Ultrasound Examinations in Dogs Cost?
What Are the Dangers of Ultrasound Scans in Dogs?
What Are the Differences Between X-Rays and Ultrasound Scans?
Ultrasounds are used as a veterinary procedure for dogs. Ultrasound examinations for dogs are fairly common and can be performed for a number of different reasons.
As a dog owner, you're probably curious about how this procedure works and what information you need if your dog has to have one. This guide is here to help.
We'll break down ultrasound scans for dogs—what they are, how they work, what they're used for, and answer some common dog owner questions about the procedure.
An ultrasound examination in dogs is very similar to the procedure in humans. An ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-intrusive diagnostic tool used by veterinarians. Ultrasounds, also known as ultrasonography, use high frequency sound waves to produce images of internal canine body structures.
In ultrasound examinations, a probe, or wand, is used with the assistance of an ultrasound gel. The gel is put on the skin of the dog and sound waves are transmitted from the probe through the gel into the body.
The probe collects the ultrasound waves that are reflected from the body and returns them as echos. These echos are transmitted to an image that is displayed on a screen. This image, therefore, shows the internal body structures that are under examination. Veterinarians use this image to diagnose different ailments in dogs, and to confirm pregnancies.
There are a number of different reasons why a trusted veterinarian might request to do an abdominal ultrasound scan on your dog. Don't be afraid to talk to your veterinarian about the use cases of the procedure and specifically what he or she might be looking for.
Just as ultrasounds are used in humans, the procedure was first—and is still used—as a pregnancy monitoring tool. An ultrasound examination in dogs can tell the veterinarian if the dog is pregnant, as well as to determine the heartbeats of the puppies.
Ultrasound examination is not necessarily accurate, however, in determining the number of puppies and the size of the litter.
In addition to detecting pregnancy, ultrasound scans for dogs can also show other organs to help veterinarians with a diagnosis. Ultrasounds can be used to look at a dog's abdominal organs like the liver, kidney, bladder, gallbladder and lymph nodes.
The procedure can also show the thyroid and parathyroid. According to Banfield Pet Hospital, looking at these organs using ultrasound scanning can help a veterinarian diagnose tumors and cysts, bladder or kidney stones, organ abnormalities, fluid issues, and more.
It's also very common for veterinarians to use an ultrasound to examine the heart, which is called echocardiography.
This ultrasound can help measure the thickness of the heart walls, the size of the chambers, and the motion of the other heart structures. Echocardiography can help a veterinarian diagnose a heart condition and determine how the heart is functioning.
An ultrasound examination in dogs is safe, quick, and simple. Once your veterinarian has made the appointment for your dog, they will give you specific instructions to follow. If you have any questions about the procedure, feel free to ask them for a leaflet or print out containing all the information you need to know.
Before the procedure, you'll want to avoid letting your dog eat or drink anything—an empty stomach will allow your veterinarian to get the best image.
Once you get to the appointment, the staff will take your dog into the procedure room. They will shave the area where the veterinarian will be putting the ultrasound probe. This is done to allow the probe to be placed directly on the skin. This will give your veterinarian the clearest and most accurate image.
After shaving the area, the veterinary staff will use the gel and the probe to scan your dog's internal organs. Your veterinarian will use the image on the screen to diagnose any issue. In some cases, the results may need to be sent to a specialist, like a veterinary radiologist, for review. If this occurs, it may take some time for the specialist's review to come back.
From beginning to end, an ultrasound scan procedure should only take about 30-60 minutes. Your veterinarian will be able to discuss results, possible further tests, and what to expect afterward with you when the procedure is complete.
As mentioned above, once the procedure is complete, your veterinarian will evaluate the results and check for any issues. They will discuss the results with you, as well as any relevant diagnosis and possible treatment options.
The veterinarian will consult a specialist if they feel it is necessary. If your veterinarian feels that any follow-up test is needed, they will discuss that with you, as well as the next steps for those procedures. Generally, your dog should be all set to return home with you.
Once you bring him home, there are generally no restrictions in terms of food, drink, or activity. Depending on the personality and seniority of your dog, he may be tired or worn after the anxiety of a different experience.
As a dog owner, it's only natural to have questions about a medical procedure that your dog will be going through. These are some of the most common questions owners have about ultrasound scans for dogs.
Don't hesitate, however, to ask your veterinarian any questions you may have that are specific to your dog and discuss what to expect before, during, and after, with them.
Firstly, you want to prevent your dog from eating or drinking before the exam, so that the veterinarian can better see your dog's internal organs, unobstructed.
Secondly, if your dog takes medication, ask your veterinarian if you need to change or adjust the schedule based on the procedure.
Finally, the best way to prepare your dog for an ultrasound exam is to talk to your veterinarian about what to expect, especially as it pertains to your specific dog.
Although you may be feeling nervous about the procedure, try your best to remain calm, as your dog may pick up on your emotions. If you're calm, your dog will be less anxious as well.
Abdominal ultrasound scans do not require anesthesia. One of the benefits of ultrasounds, in fact, is that they're simple and noninvasive.
In very rare cases, anesthesia or sedation may be required for frighteneddogs, in order to get a sufficient picture from the procedure. Your veterinarian will discuss this with you if it becomes necessary.
The only other instance where anesthesia is necessary is if your veterinarian wishes to take a biopsy. A tissue biopsy is taken by inserting a small needle or instrument into the area and withdrawing the tissue. To ensure this process goes smoothly and your dog remains still, your veterinarian may want to use anesthesia. In this case, your veterinarian will discuss what you need to do and will break down the full process concerning anesthesia with you ahead of time, including extra costs.
Generally, types of ultrasound can vary based on the image produced.
The most common type of ultrasound in veterinary medicine is the B-mode ultrasound, also called the 2-dimensional imaging ultrasound. This ultrasound gives a two-dimensional picture of the organ and is used to detect pregnancy and examine the various structures as discussed above.
The other type of ultrasound is called an M-mode ultrasound. This, actually is a type of B-mode, in which a tracing of the motion of the organ is being displayed on the screen. In echocardiography, M-mode ultrasounds and B-modes are used together to examine the heart.
Additionally, a specialized type of ultrasound called Doppler ultrasound is also used when looking at the heart. This ultrasound measures the directions and speed of blood flow and blood vessels.
Since ultrasound exams create an image while the procedure is happening, the results are instantaneous. As your veterinarian observes the image, it may take them a few minutes to reflect on the results. They will offer insight or a diagnosis based on the observations right away.
At times, they may prefer to consult with another veterinarian and in some cases, ultrasound results are sent to a specialist for review. In this case, it may take some time for the specialist to review and offer thoughts.
Ultrasound examination costs for dogs range from $300 to $500. Prices can be affected by where you live, what kind of facility you bring your dog to, and your specific veterinarian.
The cost, although seemingly high, actually falls in the midrange for diagnostic image testing prices. To compare, canine x-rays usually falls in a range in the lower hundreds of dollars, while an MRI can cost up to a few thousand dollars.
Since ultrasound scans do not use radiation and operate using sound waves, there is no risk associated with the procedure. One of the benefits of ultrasound examinations in dogs is there are no dangers.
Although your dog may be nervous, there is nothing involved in the actual procedure that can harm him. Ultrasounds are safe, relatively easy, non-intrusive, and because of their capabilities, ultimately make excellent diagnostic tools.
Whereas an ultrasound examination uses sound waves to produce an image of internal body structures, an X-Ray uses low levels of radiation to capture an image on film.
As mentioned above, ultrasounds generally run at a higher cost than X-Rays, although both are valid and useful diagnostic tools.
At the end of the day, an ultrasound scan for dogs is a non-invasive, simple procedure used by veterinarians as a diagnostic tool. The ultrasound uses sound waves to produce an image of your dog's internal body structures. Your veterinarian can analyze this image to determine if there are any issues. The procedure itself is relatively simple and your dog should have no problem sitting through an ultrasound.
If your dog needs to have an ultrasound examination, worry not, your veterinarian is there to answer all your questions and help you through the process.

François Hollande's failed presidency enters its final weeks
by Jean-Michel Cosnuau April 11, 2017 685 Views
Let's not forget that Hollande was elected by default, thanks to the removal of Dominique Strauss-Kahn from the political arena and the rejection ofNicolas Sarkozy. In the case with Strauss-Khan, Hollande played his part of dirty tricks.
Despite Hollande's jovial look, little belly, and bad jokes, he is, in fact, one hell of a plotter.
His entire career was made in the shadows, where he compensated his lack of charisma by sowing internal disputes and playing people against each other.
As soon as Dominique Strauss-Kahn fell into this trap in New York, Hollande organized a second round of national scandals and then seized the opportunity of his life by becoming president. A lot of his former friends used to say that he didn't want the power of the presidency, but enjoyed the status, which certainly appears to be accurate.
Unable to make decisions, Hollande governed following the wind, with a great talent for creating smoke screens and diverting attention away from the failures of his policies. The psychodrama of "le marriage pour tous" was a good example.
France was already in the hole when Hollande took power, he just made it deeper, paving the way for Macron, who will likely keep on digging.
Not only did Hollande betray all his electoral promises, which, as Mitterrand used to say, are made to be elected, not fulfilled, but he also killed what was left of the French diplomacy.During the Syria and Ukraine crisis, Hollande barked like an indicative pug, sometimes even getting ahead of his American masters and Saudi sponsors. Remember his postures on Syria? He nearly spearheaded the war against Syria, almost going in alone before realizing that France had used most of its munitions during the Mali operation. He was saved by the withdrawal of the US and the Brits after Putin's brilliant move on the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.

He was saved by the withdrawal of the US and the Brits after Putin's brilliant move on the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.
Hollande was the one who promised the delivery of Mistrals to Russia before bending to Obama's demands and destroying hundreds of French jobs.
He participated, with the help of his economy minister, Emmanuel Macron, in the destruction of one of France's industrial flagships, Alstom, which was sold to General Electric, leading to the loss of even more jobs.
Last, but not least, Hollande destroyed what was left of the "French left", the Socialist Party. He used his talent for intrigues by manipulating the socialist primaries, laying traps for his prime minister, and favoring the victory of Benoit Hamon, whom he knew was going the put the last nail in the socialist coffin. He didn't organize it just for fun, but to open the road to his successor, Emmanuel Macron, who came out of nowhere.
If you look at the timing, Macron started to emerge after the victory of Fillon at the right's primary, where he beat Juppé, who is the man of Washington. The system, however, has a way of crushing those who place it in danger. Of course, Hollande had a leading role in the outrageous campaign against Fillon, as it has been proven that the leaks against him came from the presidential palace.
The recent posture of the French president regarding the chemical attack in Idlib, including Hollande's threat to Russia of war crime tribunal
s, are nothing more than gesticulations of a sad clown who always thought that satisfying his masters will make him look more important than he could ever hope to be on his own.

Bay Ship Asks for Street Vacation
By Jim Lundstrom, Peninsula Pulse – October 23rd, 2015
Bay Shipbuilding General Manager Todd Thayse revealed at the Oct. 20 Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting that the company is interested in buying the land and buildings to be vacated by Palmer Johnson when it ends its operations in Sturgeon Bay at the end of the month.
However, there is a condition: "In looking at the potential combination of the two properties, we quickly realized that the only way to generate synergy and operational efficiencies and to safely operate the two plants is if portions of 1st Avenue and Jefferson Street in combination were vacated and we can operate the site as one fully integrated shipyard. That's the intent," Thayse told the council. "As a result, Fincanteri's interest in the potential purchase of the Palmer Johnson property is conditional on the city's approval for vacating the streets."
Thayse also pointed out that since the Italian company Fincanteri bought Bay Ship in late 2008, it has stuck $30 million into the business, and with a work force of 675, it is the largest employer in the city. He also said there is a backlog of work well into 2017.
"The expansion of Bay Ship's footprint furthers Fincantieri's commitment to long-term ship building in Sturgeon Bay," added Thayse.
Fincanteri Marine Group hired Traffic Analysis & Design, Inc., of Cedarburg, Wis., to conduct a traffic impact analysis of the ¼-mile length of proposed vacated street on 1st Avenue and the 250-foot portion of Jefferson Street.
Council member Kelly Catarozoli felt the analysis was deficient in that it only looked at morning and afternoon weekday traffic, and not traffic patterns on the weekend and during festivals.
"How would that have worked during the Bassmaster/Harvest Fest?" she said. "That would have been a mess."
She suggested the city close the streets to see how it will really affect traffic.
Mayor Thad Birmingham said that's not how traffic studies are typically conducted.
"Things may come up that we may have to adjust in coming years if we were to go ahead with this," Birmingham said. "It can be very challenging to answer every possible question when an issue of this significance comes forward."
Community Development Director Marty Olejniczak explained that street vacation is governed by state statute. The first step is to introduce a resolution for the vacation, which is what the council was addressing at the moment. That is followed by a review period of a minimum of 40 days, and notice to affected property owners, followed by a public hearing, which would probably take place in December.
Councilor Will Gregory said he talked to many business owners who are happy about Bay Ship making this move, but wonder about the consequences of closing the streets. "Business owners would like to be at that public hearing so would like it scheduled at night, if that's possible," he said.
The council voted to begin the process by approving the resolution to vacate the streets.

LePage rallies his supporters against Susan Collins
by Michael Shepherd July 31, 2017 September 5, 2017
Gov. Paul LePage looks to be leading a Republican civil war against U.S. Sen. Susan Collins' 2018 gubernatorial bid before anyone's sure she'll declare one and as she sits at the center of the national health care debate.
The governor railed against the moderate Republican senator at a Saturday pig roast put on by the Somerset County Republican Committee in Canaan, where an attendee said LePage repeatedly mentioned working to defeat Collins if she runs for governor next year.
It came after her Friday vote against Republicans' latest plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. She was one of three Senate Republicans to cast key votes rejecting it, putting one of the party's major goals in jeopardy.
President Donald Trump tweeted that opponents "let the American people down," but Collins was pictured returning to the Bangor airport to applause in a waiting area. In a Sunday interview with CNN, she called it "heartwarming and affirming."
But Collins is also considering a Blaine House run in 2018 and has said she'd make a decision on running by the fall. Few in Maine politics are certain she'll declare one besides LePage, who said in a Thursday radio interview that he thinks she's planning on it.
"If the Republican base — which is the 290,000 people that voted for me (in his 2014 re-election) — tell her, 'We don't want you; you're not winning the primary,' she'll back down," he said in a video provided by the attendee at the Canaan event under conditions of anonymity.
That line got some applause from the crowd of Republican diehards who love LePage, whose political ascent began with a 2010 primary win over six opponents. But years of polling data indicate that his push at Collins might not resonate much outside his sphere of loyal conservative supporters.
LePage, who scored an approval rating of 47 percent in the latest round of state-by-state polling from Morning Consult, has a far more limited base than Collins, who may be Maine's most popular politician, regularly registering approval ratings in the mid- to high-60s. A 2014 poll during her last re-election campaign saw her pulling more support from Democrats than from Republicans.
But Collins has always maintained relationships to party loyalists by helping lower-level politicians win elections. LePage is no exception to that.
Days before the 2014 election where both were up for re-election, Collins showed up at LePage's Blaine House food drive, was greeted with a hug and said she had unwavering support for the governor and praised him for "his emphasis on jobs and the economy."
Their relationship has soured since the 2016 election. LePage became an early Trump endorser in February 2016, while Collins said she wouldn't support Trump that August. After Trump won Maine's 2nd Congressional District and the election, he said she was "done in Maine."
In April, Collins gave a radio interview where she weighed her options for 2018, saying her goal would be to "heal the state" if she ran, a likely jab at LePage's divisive tenure. After that, LePage said he didn't know her well enough to know whether she'd be a good governor.
LePage's former health and human services commissioner, Mary Mayhew of South China, is the only Republican in the gubernatorial race so far.
Mayhew led LePage's opposition to Medicaid expansion, while Collins suggested in June that Maine consider following Indiana's conservative approach to expansion under the federal health care law. Mayhew was in Washington ear li er this month pushing for repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
LePage's position on various Republican Obamacare repeal efforts changed alongside their proposals. In March, he opposed a House bill for not going far enough in scaling back the current law, but he supported it after changes were made, including a quicker Medicaid expansion phase-out.
He also told reporters at the White House in June that he opposed a Senate bill because it didn't go far enough. Later that day, he released a statement saying he generally supported repeal efforts. That bill failed and was different than the "skinny repeal" bill considered in the key vote Friday.
Mayhew and Collins could be the official foils if the senator gets in, but as he always seems to be in Maine politics, LePage will be front and center in any battle that materializes.
