Roadside Assistance – Why It is Necessary in Monsoon?
Droom August 22, 2019
Monsoon is that part of the year, when you are going to face the maximum challenges on roads. For most of us, rainy season is a sign of relief from hot summer days, a phase of emotional turmoil and a sense of felling relaxed. But this is not true for your vehicle. You may be safe inside your car, but your car is experiencing the heavy rain outside, the water logging on roads and muddy and broken conditions of the roads. All these challenges need to be faced and fixed by you as the owner of the vehicle.
You must take special care of your car, such as oiling your car, covering the car with a proper sized cover to avoid rusting, keeping your wipers at top notch condition, changing the wipers every year, painting with anti-rust paints, etc. These are some of the preventive measures, that you should always take before, during and after monsoon. But, if you unfortunately get stuck somewhere mid-road during monsoon, what will you do? Then, you need roadside assistance.
The situations can be anything like you are stuck in some distanced location in the middle of the road, where you need immediate assistance. If you already know whom to call, you won't panic much, as you will be assured that some arrangements of survival can be met. But for that, you need to take some actions beforehand, for that you need to avail Roadside Assistance Services, which is available pan India.
What kinds of roadside assistance services you need during monsoon?
Battery may die anytime when the car is crossing a water-logged road and your car may not be moved from the spot, there you need specialized roadside assistance services to start your vehicle by jump-starting the battery.
Tyres may be flattened as you cannot see what is under the water or mud. If only one tyre is flat, you can replace it with the spare one. But when more than one tyre is flat, you need external assistance to fix it on the spot, for which you need flat tyre fixing service.
The car may be submerged under water, which makes it completely unmovable. Then, you need external support or assistance to get out of such situation. You need car towing service, where another vehicle will tow your car and carry to the mechanic who is miles away.
Sometimes, rainwater can even go inside the fuel tank and create a huge issue for you, or you may run out of fuel in the mid of highway, forest or desert. So, the assistance will bring enough fuel to get the vehicle to the nearest gas station.
The situation can even be like this, that you have locked yourself out of the car and unable to open the door. There, you will need the lockout service.
The car itself may breakdown completely and get stuck in the mud and you have no option of starting the engine or move the car. Then, you actually need car breakdown service.
These are some of the major roadside assistances that will be required whenever you are taking your car outside during monsoon.
But other than these, there can be several other issues which may occur anytime anywhere during monsoon and you will have no idea how to handle the situation. The best way to tackle it, will be to avail the roadside assistance services from Droom beforehand and be assured that your help is just a phone call or a SMS away.

First appearing in a best-selling storyline from Mark Millar and Steve McNiven and the basis of the forthcoming Wolverine film starring Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, now the star of an ongoing series as the refugee of a future that he's fighting to prevent, Old Man Logan is the newest addition to Diamond Select Toys' Marvel Gallery Collection! Measuring over 8 inches tall, Old Man Logan is a weary warrior and is sculpted from PVC. Packaged in a full-color window box.


Constitutional law professor Ozan Varol is fascinated at how some democracies have their beginnings in a military coup and has authored a best selling book as well as editorials in national publications about this phenomenon.
Varol spent the past six years researching military coups that buck conventional wisdom: Instead of creating dictatorships, these coups topple them and create the foundations for democratic rule.
His research culminated in the book, The Democratic Coup d'État, by Oxford University Press. The book covers events from the Athenian Navy's stance in 411 B.C. against a tyrannical home government, to coups in the American colonies that ousted corrupt British governors, to twentieth-century coups that toppled dictators and established democracy in countries as diverse as Guinea-Bissau, Portugal, and Colombia.
When Zimbabwe's military stepped in to topple a long-ruling dictator this week, Varol wrote about the coup for the Wall Street Journal in a November 15 article, Zimbabwe's Coup Could Provide an Opening for Democracy.
Similarly, Venezuela's slide toward authoritarian rule and fragile economic situation may trigger action from the military with the possibility of sparking a democratic transition, as he explains in an opinion for the Washington Post.
Professor Varol teaches in the areas of constitutional law, criminal law and procedure, comparative constitutional law, and Islamic law. You can follow his writing on his blog.

Best actor for seq different events over a 20 min period?
I find myself having to turn audio, video and midi off & on over the a set length of time, 20 minutes. Is it best practice to use a pulse generator at something like 0.006 into a counter, or time-of-day and count minutes from there? I've been using audio sequencers too long and my brain is time line based at the moment. 5 minutes of movie A, then 1 minute of movie B, 4 minutes later all movies stop and still images appear... nothing too complicated. Any advice appreciated!
I am also tied to a more linear visualization of timing things,so what works for most of the time is the trigger delay actor or comparator actors. also look at the media percent to time and timer actors to get time values.
counting pulses works but in my experience it is susceptible to time drifting due to load etc especially for longer lengths of time. Better use a timer to start with the first clip and then link an array of comparator actors to trigger other things as it counts towards your desired 20min lenght, then have it reset..

Taiwan's AUO: PV plans a go despite gov't park ruling
Taiwan's National Science Council has upheld a court decision to suspend new development at the Central Taiwan Science Park due to possible environmental impacts, but apparently that won't deter AU Optronics from building up its PV presence. Updated August 30, 2010.
August 4, 2010 – Taiwan's National Science Council (NSC) has upheld a court decision to suspend new development at the Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP) due to possible environmental impacts, but apparently that won't deter resident AU Optronics from building up its PV presence.
Water spray test conducted in AUO's Solar Reliability Lab. (Source: AU Optronics)
AU had proposed to spend NT$400B (US ~$12.5B) to build two new flat-panel display plants as well as two PV module plants totaling 2GWp annual capacity. (The company had pledged back in January to invest $300M-$400M in its PV business operations this year, mainly to expand poly-Si capacity at its M.Stetek subsidiary.) The application to the park in Taichung reportedly sought 200 hectares of land for both the FPD and solar cell/module operations, requesting a quarter of that in the current year to start construction in 2011.
But the NSC now says it will honor the Taiwan High Court's ruling supporting residents' concerns that no reliable environmental impact study was presented. AU reiterated its concern that such a ruling would dissuade companies from investing in the park — and possibly convince them to look elsewhere, e.g. mainland China. Taiwan's opposition party, the Democratic Progressive Party, has gone so far as to call for the resignation of Taiwan's environmental head over the lack of environmental due-diligence at the CTSP. The government reportedly will appeal the Court's decision as it seeks to assuage potential investors.
Nevertheless, AUO may have to rethink its PV plans. Digitimes reports that with the rejection by NSC and the Court, the company may outright cancel its proposed bifacial interdigitated back-contact solar cell project with Sunpower — a move that would have vaulted AUO among the island's top PV players.
Update 8/30/20: AUO Chairman K.Y. Lee said the National Science Council (NSC) is planning to adjust its plan for the development of the fourth phase of the science park by proposing a land swap with the farmers who had their land taken from them by the government.
Read the full update in "TAIWAN'S AUO HOPES TO RESOLVE SCIENCE PARK DISPUTE VIA LAND SWAP"
AUO still apparently prefers its proposed site in the CTSP, instead of changing locations. The NSC has suggested the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP), for example, but AUO thinks there isn't enough land at STSP for its planned facilities.
It's not all bad news, though. AUO's PV QRA lab in Taichung has received four UL certification marks for professional testing, so the site can perform nearly three dozen reliability tests such as product function and durability under extreme weather conditions, as well as address transportation of large-sized solar products. AU spent roughly $3M to set up the lab — which, unfortunately, has far less cachet than a 2GWp cell/module project.

What is one thing adolescents really want?
By Anita Schmidt, LCSW, Family Service therapist
I hear time and again from the adolescents I see in my therapy practice that they do not feel heard by the adults in their lives.
Research suggests that adolescents offer more information when they feel the dialog is with a good listener. As a parent of three adult children, there have been times that I have forgotten to "ask" rather than "tell." I encourage parents to try to take the time to ask their adolescent a specific question every day, something like "what was the best part of your day?" or "what makes science difficult?" It should be something specific enough that a one-word answer will not suffice. Let them know you comprehended what they said by "reflecting" it back to them (e.g., "You are saying…"). Follow up only with clarifying questions (e.g., "So you are wondering ...?").
Avoid conversation stoppers such as admonishing, advising, or problem solving. We want very much to make life easy for our kids, but jumping in to solve their problems or advise them can feel like a vote of no confidence. It takes away the autonomy they need to find their own path.
Often, being a good listener means using silence, which allows the speaker time to think things through for themselves. Showing understanding with a simple "uh-huh" or "that must be difficult" is enough to keep them talking it through. It is important for adults to support an adolescent's process, not to control it. A supportive conversation with a young person can be a gift for both of you.

'Cause it's a revolution for your mind...K?!
My first thought is thermal inversion. But with radiation in the mix, who knows. They said it would take 7 days for the radiation to get here if it got here at all. Thus far, they have minimized everything that has gone on, so who is to say that the estimate was more of a guess or intentional dis-info on their part.
I used weather underground and saw the same circles. http://www.wunderground.com
The resistance starts here. Unfortunately, the entire thing is moving beyond the intellectual infowar. I vow I will not make an overt rush at violent authority, until authority makes it's violent rush at me and you. I will not falter, I will not die in this course. For that is how they win.
Quote from: ignescent on March 16, 2011, 11:43:50 pm
is this typical?
Look at Georgiacopguy's link---shows up in green circles like someone is trying to hit something, but isn't that the area of the fault line--forgot what it was called? Mason or something?
they look like someone is trying to shoot a paint ball gun--notice the centers are either white or dark.
what are they trying to hit?
this is NOT typical radar weather patterns. I look at radar weather every day and this looks weird to me.
GeorgeDubya
It looks like the circles are just over Doppler radar stations. Any thoughts as to what would cause this kind of anomaly.

Does anybody have any information verifying that gamma radiation will find it's way to the West Coast of the U.S. in the next 6 months. How will this happen? So far I'm not buying it. Please prove me wrong so I can jump on the bandwagon. I'm feeling kinda left out...

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. - ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Well, balloon bombs made it from Japan to California, as heavy as those are, I'd think atmospherically suspended radiation would stand at least a marginal chance at it. I don't think we will see massive illness or sickness from it, you might see a few cancerous thyroids a few r=years or decades down the line, but i do beleive it can get here.
It took the radiation from Chernobyl to hit the West US coast 10 days.

Quote from: Brocke on March 16, 2011, 11:55:22 pm
"Gamma Radiation" doesn't "come" isotopic (mutated more neutrons or whatever) airborne particulate elements like Strontium "90", radioactive Iodine (forget the number), Cesium etc etc are carried over (and settle along their ways) that emit radioactive decay-ray (Alpha and Gamma) particles as they decay (for as long as each floats and that takes for each sort).
Rainfall along the way at lower altitudes also tends to force them to concentrate below here and there as well. (it also scrubs the air-stream here and there as well). The high Jet Stream however can carry then everywhere for long periods of time and distance.
It's also interesting to note that chemtrails (with Boron) are actually really beneficial at "killing" (absorbing) neutrons. It's (along with Sodium) among the top neutron-eaters (aka reactor-poisons for SCRAMs).

I don't doubt that Japan is totally f*cked and I don't doubt that Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii will all see heightened radiation levels. What I am cautious about is buying into the paranoia that the West Coast of the United States will be inundated by deadly levels of radio active particles, Strontium 90 et al.
I have yet to see any convincing information about how deadly amounts of radioactive material will make it's way into the Jet stream, some 30,000 feet above sea level, and then be dumped onto the West Coast.

Yes, we don't know the radiation levels, but we do have ships in the Pacific that can measure radiation levels as well as high altitude recon planes. Why are they not releasing the radioactive cloud level that are presently off the Western Coast of the US? This would allay fears.
But tell me, will you WAIT AROUND while the US government decides to publish the information? If I was on the West Coast, I'm not certain I would want to be part of their experiment. The folks there have about a day to make a judgment call. After that, the roads may become jammed as the cloud is supposed to arrive late Friday.

Good questions...
Logically if there was no real risk, then they would be saturating the media with hardcore data showing No Risk.
As to waiting for the true data, there are a lot of people in Japan cursing the stupidity of trusting the Govt and the Media to give honest information. Many of them are in a poor psychological state and in full blown denial.
Why wait ?
What is more important than your health ?
IF you are in Japan, forget about material concerns and leave now.
How is the radiation, in deadly amounts, going to going to travel the 5000 miles to the West Coast of the USA? 48 million people stampeding east will kill a lot more than a dispersed cloud of radiation. What about the two atom bombs we dropped in 1945 and the fallout from them? Were did that go?
Brocke, there's a HUGE difference in the radiation of the first two atomic bombs, and the MOX and Plutonium used as the nuclear fuel in these reactors. You're right, a lot of people will probably die trying to avoid the cloud as it hits the West Coast. So you would stay then, and not try to avoid the cloud, if it's high? The rule of thumb is generally it is far better to stay than bug out since you cannot bring many supplies like food and water, and of course your home is generally more defensible. At this point, if the numbers are high, I think I would leave. Luckily for me, I'm not on the West Coast, and hopefully far enough away based upon wind patterns and the half-lives of the isotopes involved.
Well, I'm in Australia and almost exactly the same distance to the reactors as San Francisco is. So I guess I am closer to the danger than you are. I do have family in the Bay Area and I am concerned for them. My relative there knows a woman who has barricaded herself in her apartment sealing all the doors and windows with plastic and duct tape! That is just plain crazy. I personally am not going to buy into the fear.
You are closer to the danger, and I hope you fare well. I think you'll be fine though due to prevailing winds and the Jet Stream. Most of the concern is in the Northern Hemisphere, and I have yet to see a model that projects fallout directly towards Aussies.
Like your sig by the way Brocke, I'm an old Prisoner fan (the original series)
I still don't understand how any radiation will get up into the Jet Stream.
A helium party balloon that is lighter than air will only rise a few hundred feet. Radioactive isotopes are heavier than air.
Nope, that's incorrect. Do a search for any peer-reviewed academic article on Chernobyl. The radiation did get carried all over. The same is true of radioactive fallout during above ground atomic testing. Wish it were so.
What is incorrect?
I said:
Do you have information proving that Radioactive isotopes will reach the Jet Stream? If so I will acquiesce.
Hey, not trying to disagree with you. Read this:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nucene/cherno2.html
This dealt with a very small number of megaCurries of radiation versus the tons of spent fuel rods which may potentially be released by a meltdown at Fukushima, particularly #4, 5, and 6.
Here's an academic report concerning radioactive fallout patterns of the Cesium 137
http://chernobyl.info/Default.aspx?tabid=294
Right so clearly fallout does travel with the Jet Stream. It needs a high amount of heat to project the fallout into the atmosphere, and that happens with a nuclear meltdown.
Dig is reporting this link: http://www.informationdissemination.net/2011/03/new-york-times-us-navy-helicopter.html
over on the radiation thread. http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=203480.280
He may be right that the amounts are low...right now. We'll just have to see if the Japanese cannot cool off the rods. Only time will tell.

Japan Earthquake Update (17 March 2011 11:05 UTC)
Based on a press release from the Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary dated 17 March 2011 04:00 UTC, the IAEA can confirm that the Japanese military carried out four helicopter water droppings over the building of reactor unit 3 of the Fukushima Daichi nuclear power plant.
According to the press release, the droppings took place between 00:48 UTC and 01:00 UTC.
Japanese Earthquake Update (17 March 01:15 UTC)
Injuries or Contamination at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
Based on a press release from the Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary dated 16 March 2011, the IAEA can confirm the following information about human injuries or contamination at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Please note that this list provides a snapshot of the latest information made available to the IAEA by Japanese authorities. Given the fluid situation at the plant, this information is subject to change.
* 2 TEPCO employees have minor injuries
* 2 subcontractor employees are injured, one person suffered broken legs and one person whose condition is unknown was transported to the hospital
* 2 people are missing
* 2 people were 'suddenly taken ill'
* 2 TEPCO employees were transported to hospital during the time of donning respiratory protection in the control centre
* 4 people (2 TEPCO employees, 2 subcontractor employees) sustained minor injuries due to the explosion at unit 1 on 11 March and were transported to the hospital
* 11 people (4 TEPCO employees, 3 subcontractor employees and 4 Japanese civil defense workers) were injured due to the explosion at unit 3 on 14 March
Radiological Contamination
* 17 people (9 TEPCO employees, 8 subcontractor employees) suffered from deposition of radioactive material to their faces, but were not taken to the hospital because of low levels of exposure
* One worker suffered from significant exposure during 'vent work,' and was transported to an offsite center
* 2 policemen who were exposed to radiation were decontaminated
* Firemen who were exposed to radiation are under investigation
The IAEA continues to seek information from Japanese authorities about all aspects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Temperature of Spent Fuel Pools at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
Spent fuel that has been removed from a nuclear reactor generates intense heat and is typically stored in a water-filled spent fuel pool to cool it and provide protection from its radioactivity. Water in a spent fuel pool is continuously cooled to remove heat produced by spent fuel assemblies. According to IAEA experts, a typical spent fuel pool temperature is kept below 25 ˚C under normal operating conditions. The temperature of a spent fuel pool is maintained by constant cooling, which requires a constant power source.
Given the intense heat and radiation that spent fuel assemblies can generate, spent fuel pools must be constantly checked for water level and temperature. If fuel is no longer covered by water or temperatures reach a boiling point, fuel can become exposed and create a risk of radioactive release. The concern about the spent fuel pools at Fukushima Daiichi is that sources of power to cool the pools may have been compromised.
The IAEA can confirm the following information regarding the temperatures of the spent nuclear fuel pools at Units 4, 5 and 6 at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant:
14 March, 10:08 UTC: 84 ˚C
16 March, 05:00 UTC: no data
14 March, 10:08 UTC: 59.7 ˚C
100 deg C would be critical since it will allow the water to flash, whatever little amounts of water are there presently. They have just dropped 30 tons of water via the fire trucks and the police water cannons. They are mostly concerned with #3. NHK WORLD announced the pool needs 1200 tons of water. They shot in only 30 tons of water.
tinfoiltruth
there was a video on youtube talking about how skin cancer rates were pretty much non existent in the world until the US started doing atmospheric testing of the atomic bomb.
the radiation and nuclear fall out from these were sprinkled all over the world cause they were exploded in the atmosphere upper jet stream.
doesnt answer Brockes questions about how the japan radiation will get to the jet stream. but the radiation will travel in the jet stream.
All of a sudden, all the mods are acting like information gatekeepers by questioning the validity of fallout reaching any part of the US. They virtually deny the possibility, despite Chernobyl particulate getting all across the US. While it wasn't a devastating event, who is to say what it did to cancer levels, because that's the big unknown. I think it will be a minor threat, but a threat nonetheless, which we should try to prepare for it rationally, not hide our heads in the sand. And we should also be cognizant that others will use this to enact their efforts to push control grids, and get their NWO agenda further in place.
Let's be realistic here, they are dumping water on super heated rods, which are emitting steam, steam which was in contact with those rods which is now carrying radioactivity. Water droplets as I recall manage to get into the jet-stream, which in turn drives our weather. Sure, sure, DIG has been real big on pointing out that our government can control the jet-stream. The question remains, if they truly want us to die off, or kill us, do you really think they would use that 'uber secret' tech to protect us, risking proving that it exists? Even if they aren't worried about revealing it, I do not think they would use it. Because their ultimate goal is to kill off as many as they cant use or control. But again, I think the radioactivity will be a minor issue.
It just disturbs me to see mods acting like info gatekeepers. Just like the titles and stars and post counts underneath our nicknames, newbies and other people tend to look at you guys as people of authority and knowledge around here. Several message boards I belong to varying from scuba and cave diving to photography and several others do not encourage their mods to express opinions or dispense info for this very reason. Using the scuba board message board as an example, they do not want the mods dispensing their opinions or accumulated wisdom, because they are perceived as authority figures by some, and they worry that others will take their info at face value, despite what a dive-master or instructor might say. But instead, people around here get herded like sheep at times. Thread titles get changed to reflect the mods opinions, not the OP's. People are inundated with copy and paste material, trying to herd their opinion to match up lockstep with those of the mods. We are human beings, we have our own opinions, there will be variances between us from opinion to opinion. Does that mean you need to herd us along, and try to make us think like you do? Most of the people on this message board who are talking about potential fall out, are doing so reasonably, they are not acting like its the end of the world, they are simply trying to see through the lies, expose the lies, and get enough info out there so that if people choose to prepare, they can do so, all of this seems to be done in a reasonable orderly fashion. While i don't like the idea of using BBC tweets, I still understand the the poster is just trying to get info from multiple sources, and thus far, the BBC has demonstrated that they do not beleive the Japanese lies about the power plant. So at least a modicum of the information coming from that source can be trusted, maybe not completely, but its a source which might validate info from another source.
I don't know if the "BBC tweets" remark is aimed at my posts on the radiation thread, but in most cases, those tweets are from reliable news agencies, not regular Joes just commenting. Anyways, when I began posting news items, it was to give people more information direct from Japan versus the very filtered responses we're getting from the main stream press. So I went direct to the major Japanese press agencies like Kyodo, NHK World, Voice of America (Pacific branch), Stars and Stripes (Pacific branch), Daily Yomiuri, BBC (Pacific branch), Jiji Press, Japan Times, etc. I also posted the first direct radiological data from SPEEDI.
We can doubt all authorities, and see the globalists everywhere. Clearly the globalists have infiltrated all media outlets as well as governments, but come on people, you have to get your information somewhere and interpret it as you see fit. It's that, or stick your head in the sand. If there is high radiation coming to the US, despite the root causes of the Earthquake and nuclear accidents, I hope that the most important aspect is warning the public.
The radiation levels are high. Are they as high as Chernobyl? No, thank God. The meltdown has not happened completely yet, thank God. It does appear that since they cannot re-establish power and coolant that it will be inevitable. I certainly do not want doom. I have friends in Japan. I have friends on the West Coast. My only goal is assisting in disseminating information that I hope allows people to make an informed decision, rather than rely upon CNN and Fox News.
There is a larger issue too. The Japanese are struggling and injecting Yen into the market in order to protect their economy. This is already having an enormous effect on the US economy.
I don't doubt you at all about the market volatility they are creating by injecting those funds. Zero Hedge had a chart last night that showed the USD versus the yen dropping like a rock. Some people think this whole earthquake is to further the green agenda and carbon credits. I'm more of the mind it was to get Japan in line and at the same time create instability in the world economies.
I made the reference to the BBC tweets not because they are tweets, but because they are sourced by the BBC. The BBC is owned by the royals, so obviously, they will have their slant in everything. But at the same time, they do see through the Japanese lies about the power plant. So at least their info can be used to validate other sources which might suggest the same thing. So while I wouldn't normally trust BBC news sources, they can still manage to have a purpose in this I guess. I wouldn't source them alone though. I'd find an alternative source to back up what they say.
I just wish I understood why some people are in denial of just how bad of an issue the fallout could potentially be, or why they do not want reasoned debate on the topic.
Quote from: Georgiacopguy on March 17, 2011, 10:02:54 am
Yeah I posted 3-4 postings from zerohedge over at the radiation thread. In particular I posted one about the dumping of yen on the market which led to the fall in the value of the dollar.
So I can't be skeptical of the Jet Stream Death Cloud theory without being labeled a "gatekeeper"? I am aware that radioactive isotopes will circulate all over the globe from this event. I am also aware that cancer rates will increase in the next 50 years. I am not doubting the severity of the effects in Japan. What I have not seen is any information that convinces me that deadly amounts of radiation will somehow get blasted up 30,000 feet into the Jet stream and then rain down death on the West Coast.
The radiation will spread, that's a fact. It will eventually circle the globe many times. The seas around Japan will be devastated. Alaska will probably get the worst of it as far as American soil is concerned.
Personally I think the screaming and yelling that a toxic cloud of radiation is heading for the West Coast is the worst kind of fear mongering. I don't doubt that there is a possibility there will be radiation eventually. I just reserve the right to be skeptical of how much and how long it will take.
And it's okay that you are skeptical Brocke, and in a way, I'm glad you are. But the way you say it, the way you put it forth, you at least seem open to the possibility or at the very least debate. But no sooner than we started to see a nuke crisis unfold, and there were mods, almost seemed like all of them, that were pushing this agenda that there was absolutely no way that fallout could reach here. Most of the debates I saw were reasoned debates, counting numbers, plotting weather and the like, but it wasn't long, and along comes Dig with his copy paste agenda, letting us know the government can control the jet stream...etc etc...
It just felt that there was a party line the way all the mods were spouting it out. I myself believe that the jet stream and weather patterns will bring some, I say some fallout to our shores. Where it lands remains to be seen, how severe, if severe at all ,remains to be seen. but I, along with the reasoned thinkers here were perfectly happy to debate it and discuss it. We still are. Just some of us, and in this case I only speak for me, felt that we were having dogma shoved down our(my) throats. Surely you can see how that would look to us on this side of the screen? I try to keep an open mind about things, just not too open, or else its easy to fall prey to things. If a person could come along, and with reasoned debate convince me that fallout wouldn't make it here, I would admit I was wrong. But so far, that hasn't happened, and history says it can. Lethal, catastrophic levels, not so far. But the potential exists.
Quote from: Georgiacopguy on March 17, 2011, 08:01:54 pm
I did notice that other mods were being cautious like myself. There is no "party line" or secret agenda. As far as I know we were all acting independently.
It didn't look like they were being cautious. They may have been trying to be cautious in not saying we could get fallout, but I have my doubts about the way they were putting forth their opinions. There also seemed to be some ganging up on those who didn't toe the line. All I can do is point out how it looked from this side dude.
Quote from: pdf_muncher on March 17, 2011, 08:59:52 pm
cloud vs. jetstream, pretty big difference, points toward a calculated worst case scenario.
it very well could be fearmongering but you know what, man, when i finally got my CT ass to the store, the shelves were bare of Kelp and Iodate.
the sheeple merely saw mention of it somewhere and rushed to buy these things. i was genuinely concerned about it being an attack and didn't even protect myself.
what we believe matters not, what we are made of matters quite a lot, when you are dealing with radioactive material.
its better to be safe than sorry, you cannot get your DNA back that i know of
A curious story...
The Luckiest or Unluckiest Man in the World? Tsutomu Yamaguchi, double A-bomb victim
Tsutomu Yamaguchi, Akira Iwanaga and Kuniyoshi Sato are either the luckiest or the unluckiest men alive, and after three days in their company and long hours of conversation, I still had no idea which. It is sixty years since their monstrous ordeal and all three are well into their ninth decade. Mr Sato, who is 86, uses a wheelchair after injuring his back, and 89-year old Mr Yamaguchi is almost deaf in one ear. But all of them exude the dignified vigour of elderly Japanese, the world's healthiest and longest living race. "I was a heavy smoker," Mr Yamaguchi told me during our first meeting, "but I gave up smoking and drinking when I was 50. I didn't expect to live to 80. And now I'm well over 80." The miracle is not that he is alive now, but that he made it past the age of 29.
Mr Yamaguchi and his friends are freaks of history, victims of a fate so callous and improbable that it almost raises a smile. In 1945, they were working in Hiroshima where the world's first atomic bomb exploded 60 years ago this morning, on 6 August 1945. 140,000 people died as a result of the explosion; by pure chance, Mr Yamaguchi, Mr Sato and Mr Iwanaga, were spared. Stunned and injured, reeling from the horrors around them, they left the city for the only place they could have gone – their home town, Nagasaki, 180 miles to the west. There, on 9th August, the second atomic bomb exploded over their heads.

Texas Republicans Introduce Transgender 'Bathroom Bill'
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and state Senator Lois Kolkhorst on Thursday introduced a bill that targets the transgender community.
Titled the "Privacy Protection Act," Senate Bill 6 bars transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice in many buildings, blocks local non-discrimination ordinances that protect transgender people in public accommodations, and prohibits local municipalities from considering such protections when awarding contracts.
The proposal – and others introduced in the past week – are similar to a North Carolina law that created a major backlash which led to boycotts, lost jobs and lost state revenues estimated in the billions of dollars.
Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest LGBT rights advocate, criticized the move.
"Dan Patrick's attack on transgender Texans is a dangerous, politically-motivated assault on the rights of his own constituents," said Griffin. "Patrick and his anti-LGBTQ friends in the legislature have clearly learned nothing from the self-inflicted damage caused by North Carolina's discriminatory HB2 law and want to throw away $8.5 billion in revenue from lost visitors, businesses, sports leagues and major entertainment groups. If lawmakers vote to discriminate against transgender people, Texas will be closed for business."
Republicans in at least five other states, including Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia and Missouri, have introduced similar bills in the past week.
(Related: Virginia Republican introduces transgender "bathroom bill.")


PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - When defenseman Jamie Oleksiak picked up an assist on Sidney Crosby's goal against the Islanders Tuesday, he had the first four-game points streak of his NHL career.
He wakes up today with as many points as Erik Karlsson and more points than Roman Josi.
None of this, of course, is going to last. But what seems likely to persist is the notion that Oleksiak, the hulking 6-7, 255-pound Toronto native who turns 26 next month, is a really good fit for the Penguins.
Acquired (you're tempted to say stolen, but it's still too early for that) from Dallas in a trade 11 months ago that gives the Stars a fourth-round pick next June, Oleksiak is turning out to be the prototypical "needs a change of scenery" player who finds his way by losing his old address.
After five years in Dallas, where he never played more than 41 NHL games in a season and was getting AHL time just three seasons ago, Oleksiak has been a solid bottom-pairing defenseman with the Penguins. He's +21 in 56 regular season games with Pittsburgh; has played both sides for coach Mike Sullivan; has already dropped the gloves seven times for the Penguins, a skill that has seriously faded from importance but remains needed on occasions; and he's added a surprising amount of modest offensive support.
This is why the Penguins more that doubled his cap hit in the summer, signing him for three years at a $2.1 million. When you're a team that pushes the cap limits every year, signing a player you view as dependable in his mid-20s for $2.1 million is always a good thing.
A left-handed shot who's been playing the right side with Olli Maatta – his assignment may change if Kris Letang returns as expected tonight on Long Island – Oleksiak is giving Sullivan a pretty solid 16 minutes a night. He's not a big thumper but uses his size to neutralize opponents along the boards. He uses his reach to free pucks and gather them in, and he's not afraid to go ahead and jump into the play on a team whose forwards will make plays with him.
He's got a surprising skating gear and a very good shot for a player whose offensive numbers would never suggest that. Yet Oleksiak is still close enough to the edge of the lineup to appreciate the opportunity he has created for himself here in Pittsburgh, and that no doubt helps drive his play. Just three weeks ago in Montreal, after all, he was a healthy scratch for the first time with the Penguins.
The Penguins don't need him to do anything fancy. They need him to clean up his own end, add some muscle in front of the net, get pucks to forwards and use his ability to play either the left or right side when they need it. They're not asking him for any special teams minutes, and they're certainly not expecting him to run the second power play unit or depending on him to show up on the scoresheet.
That's just what he's doing at the moment, as he's almost halfway to matching his career-high 17 points from last season. All of which is kind of symbolic, since Oleksiak's all-around game might just be giving the Penguins a little more than they – or anyone else – expected when they added him.

Google in talks to buy video game streaming service Twitch
The Wall Street Journal reports that the deal is not imminent, while Variety says Google has agreed to pay over $1 billion
Loek Essers (IDG News Service) 19 May, 2014 20:59
Google is planning to buy Twitch, a service that allows gamers to stream their game play.
The talks are at an early stage, though, according to the Wall Street Journal citing people familiar with the matter. Twitch has also considered selling a stake in the company instead, the report said.
Another report, in Variety, said Google's YouTube will pay over US$1 billion for Twitch and that the sale is a done deal, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Twitch is a streaming service that gamers can use to broadcast their game play, showing off their skills and teaching others how to play. The service has over one million active broadcasters per month and makes its money selling ads viewed by more than 45 million viewers per month, the company said in February. In September, it raised sold an undisclosed stake to investors for US$20 million.
Launched in June 2011, Twitch was the gaming branch of video streaming service Justin.tv. Twitch however outgrew Justin.tv, making the company's co-founders decide in February to start using Twitch Interactive as the umbrella name for their business.
Google is interested in Twitch because it could potentially give a boost to YouTube, which has its own live video streaming service for games, sports, music and more, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Twitch generates more live streaming video traffic than any other site online, outpacing YouTube Live, ESPN and NBC Sports according to Qwilt, a company that helps service providers to optimize their networks for the delivery of streaming video content.
A Google spokesman declined to comment on "rumors." Twitch did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Volcanic emissions may have made oxygen in climate
During a new investigation of 2.5-billion-year-old Australian rocks, scientists have tracked down those volcanic emissions may have animated populace floods of marine microorganisms, making the initial puffs of oxygen into the air.
This would change existing accounts of Earth's initial environment, which expected that most changes in the early climate were constrained by geologic or substance measures. The discoveries of the investigation were distributed in the diary 'Procedures of the National Academy of Sciences'
However, centered around Earth's initial history, the exploration additionally has suggestions for extra-earthbound life and even environmental change. The investigation was driven by the University of Washington, the University of Michigan and different establishments.
"What has begun to end up being undeniable in the previous few decades is there really are a lot of associations between the strong, non-living Earth and the development of life," said first creator Jana Meixnerova, a UW doctoral understudy in Earth and space sciences. "However, what are the particular associations that worked with the development of life on Earth as far as we might be concerned, addressed Meixnerova.
In its most punctual days, Earth had no oxygen in its air and scarcely any, oxygen breathing lifeforms. Earth's air turned out to be for all time oxygen-rich with regards to 2.4 billion years prior, likely after a blast of lifeforms that photosynthesise, changing carbon dioxide and water into oxygen. In any case, in 2007, co-creator Ariel Anbar at Arizona State University dissected rocks from the
Mount McRae Shale in Western Australia, detailing a transient whiff of oxygen around 50 to 100 million years before it turned into a super durable installation in the climate. Later examination has affirmed other, prior, transient oxygen spikes, yet hasn't clarified their ascent and fall.
In the new investigation, specialists at the University of Michigan, driven by co-relating creator Joel Blum, broke down similar old rocks for the focus and number of neutrons in the component mercury, radiated by volcanic ejections Large volcanic emissions impact mercury gas into the upper climate, where today it circles for a little while prior to pouring out onto Earth's surface.
The new investigation showed a spike in mercury two or three million years before the brief ascent in oxygen "adequately sure, in the stone beneath the transient spike in oxygen, we discovered proof of mercury, both in its bounty and isotopes, that would most sensibly be clarified by volcanic ejections into the environment," said co-creator Roger Buick, a UW teacher of Earth and Space Sciences.
Where there were volcanic outflows, the creators contemplated, there probably been Laval and volcanic debris fields. Also, those supplement rich rocks would have endured in the breeze and downpour, delivering phosphorus into streams that could treat close by seaside regions, permitting oxygen creating cyanobacteria and other single-celled lifeforms to prosper. "There are different supplements that tweak natural action on short timescales, however phosphorus is the one that is generally significant on long timescales, Meixnerova said. Today, phosphorus is abundant in natural materials and in horticultural manure. However, in extremely old occasions, enduring of volcanic rocks would have been the primary hotspot for this scant asset.
"During enduring under the Archaean air, the new basaltic stone would have gradually disintegrated, delivering the fundamental full scale supplement phosphorus into the streams, Meixnerova added.
"That would have taken care of organisms that were living in the shallow seaside zones and set off expanded natural usefulness that would have made, as a result, and oxygen spike, Meixnerova clarified.
The exact area of those volcanoes and magma fields is obscure, however huge magma fields of about the right age exist in cutting edge India, Canada and somewhere else, Buick said "Our examination proposes that for these transient whiffs of oxygen, the prompt trigger was an expansion in oxygen creation, as opposed to an abatement in oxygen utilization by rocks or other non-living cycles," Buick said "It's significant on the grounds that the presence of oxygen in the climate is key – it's the greatest driver for the advancement of huge, complex life," Buick added.
Eventually, analysts said the investigation proposes what a planet's geography may mean for any life developing on its surface, an agreement that guides in recognizing liveable exoplanets, or planets outside our close planetary system, in the quest for life in the universe.

Being., Soaked Oats and Ha the Unclear will celebrate their new split release Corduroy Cape: A Persnickety Mixtape with a circus in May across four dates in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin.
The Corduroy Cape Mixtape is a peep into each band's sock drawer, lint filter and vacuum bag. A pot-pourri of covers, unreleased material and special demo cuts, a whiff of the familiar and a niff of new noises. It is Pop-hearted and indie-scum, hard cheese and the morning muesli, all glued together with a collegial spirit and a like-minded lilt.
Tracks will be released in a stagger over the next few weeks with Being.'s 'Fold Into The Sea' first to arrive on Monday April 30.
The seed for the split release was sown during an overzealous post-show conversation when everybody involved shared a bill at Auckland's Whammy Bar.
Composed mostly of hand gestures, yelling and disproportionate body language it was ordained and somehow communicated that said split release should contain both a cover and an original from each band. The Corduroy Cape Mixtape was conceived.


After two years almost full time construction, and 1600hrs later, my Savannah S is ready to feel the wind beneath its wings.
Eightyknots. I hope you have some Devine intervention, or are ageless. If your current building rate of two hours every 3 months continues, your build will take 192.5 years! LOL. Perry.
Hey MT. Do you sleep at night, or just keep building your aircraft? I can't believe how quickly you have got to this stage. Well done. Here's a pic of mine. First engine runs last Friday. I've spent 1540 hours building mine to date, and yet to paint the cowlings, and make some better seat cushions, as the factory supplied ones aren't comfortable. We may be in the air around the same time.
That pilot is a crazy bathtard.
Hey Mark, are you still coming over to NZ Feb?
Hi Eric. I'm building a Savannah S. I didn't really like the cable set up either. It would probably work better if the cables were attached one on the LH side, and the other on the RH side, which is quite doable, but I really like the push/pull rod arrangement. It remains to be seen if there is enough engine movement to inadvertently affect the throttle operation, but by all accounts, with the "ring engine mount" system, it works well. Just last week I finished making the throttle set up using push/pull rods. As far as the hardware part numbers goes, I used what Rick posted regarding the rod-end bearings. (There's a RH threaded one and a LH threaded one for each push rod, which enables very accurate adjustment) Having access to a lathe is very helpful. You also need to purchase a LH thread tap. I purchased all of the hardware, including the LH tap, from Aircraft Spruce in USA. In addition to the rod-end bearings, you will need four "check nuts", that lock the bearings in place. (2x RH, 2x LH) For my rods, I used aluminium tube 0.500" x 0.058" 6061-T6, and turned up on the lathe the threaded inserts for the bearings to screw into. The inserts are held in place with rivets. I fitted my rods to the outside of the "fingers". It would be better to fit them to the inside though. To do this on the RH side is easy. In order to do this on the LH side requires removal of the throttle cable bracket. I didn't wish to do this just in case I need to revert back to the original cable throttle arrangement. Here's a couple of pics of my set up. I am very happy with the finished product, BUT PLEASE NOTE, I have just posted this to show what I have done. It is intended for information only. If you don't have the technical know how and access to machinery, then you are better off to stick with ICP's cable system.
The gap looks about normal. I did away with the "patch" piece that (in your photo) is clecoed behind the cabin frame. Instead I made a "patch/cover" that neatly fitted over the gap forward of the cabin frame. The windscreen rubber seal then tidily sits on top of that.
Hey MT. Before you "match" drill the two holes in the front of the cabin frame (the steel structure) through the firewall, you must FIRST fit the cabin frame very accurately. You will need the instrument panel pinned in place, but not necessarily the upper skin. The cabin frame is fitted using the supplied jigs that position the forward wing mount. Those two fwd holes will be the final task in fitting this structure, using the engine mount as a guide, as Kyle Communications mentioned. As a precautionary note, my manual (and probably yours too) states that there is a 5mm tolerance in the diagonal measurement when setting up the cabin frame. That tolerance seems awfully large to me. There is a possibility that the measurement should read 0.5mm. Either way though, the more accurate you drill that diagonal measurement into the frame, the straighter the wings will be when attached to your fuselage. Kyle Communications has some good pictures of how he measured the diagonal, by using nails accurately clamped to the fwd wing mount holes, which are used as a datum for sitting one end of your ruler of tape measure onto.
Hey MT. There's no stupid questions. I'm sure every builder has scratched their head trying to find info in the manual. Everything seems to be in there, just sometimes not in a logical place. I'm still working through it also.

On the afternoon of Oct. 24, 2018, the Urban girl's varsity tennis team, along with a couple high achieving JV players, set their hopes on beating Convent of the Sacred Heart High School and making it to the semi-finals of this year's BCL West playoffs.
After a strong, competitive season, the team members were excited for what was possibly their last game of the season and ready to play their hardest. After a tough loss to Convent earlier in the season, losing all 5 of the matches played, the team was hoping to win as many matches as possible, and "[needed] to just stay focused," said Aliza Meyer '19, one of the tennis teams senior team captains this year.
Before playing her semi-finals match against convent, Julia Thaler '19, the team's second senior team captain, said that she was "feeling pumped" and told her teammates that they should "try [their] best because whatever happens, [they] will go down fighting hard."
John Cervantes, Urban's JV tennis coach, said that "there [was] nothing to be gained or lost except effort, and that is the key to the whole game of tennis."
Three hours later, the matches were over and the scores were in. Urban had won three out of seven matches, only losing by one match, with all losses being close. Though they had lost, it was apparent how much the team had grown since they lost all matches to Convent earlier in the season.
Reflecting on the match, Meyer said: "I think we played really well and I'm proud of our team for staying strong, though these were tough matches." She continued, saying, "Some of our opponents were not the nicest, but we rose above and played super well."
Peri Charmatz '21 said "I think we did really well this season", but, more importantly, "we grew a lot as a team and as players".
As the team got ready to head home, Justin Volmert, the Varsity Tennis coach, told the team "that's the last team match of the year and it was a really good performance all around."

'Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers' Episode 2 Recap: The Dawn of the Ali-Ance?
Last Week: Ryan made a firm base, Alan made a creepy face, and what's the medal for 18th place?
We learn that Chrissy is allowed to hang onto her idol even though it is powerless. Like an infant at an "Entourage" trivia night.
Yikes, that is a terrible analogy.
Ben thinks the tribe is like old paint because it's cracked and fractured. Also, Ben is better at analogies than I am.
Ben also lets us know that the core four is dead. Yeah, like a fish vacationing on the sun.
Ryan and Devon are very comfortable in their adorable alliance. However, Devon does point out to Ryan that he doesn't smile when he talks strategy with other people. Probably not a great idea to reveal your tell on "Survivor," buddy.
Simone seems to be on the outs with her entire tribe. Ryan even calls her "weird."
CUT TO: Simone bragging because she was able to pee in the ocean. She says it made her feel like a superhero.
She also says she hates the outside. C'mon, that's like Probst hating blue button-down shirts.
Finally, Simone shows her worth to the tribe by being able to gut a fish. Go Simone!
Ali decides she wants to bring Simone onto her side because of Simone's outcast status.
In other news, Patrick is really rubbing people the wrong way. We're treated to an edit of Patrick screaming at crabs, doing weird accents, and breaking wind. Basically he's driving Lauren crazy.
Jessica and Cole continue to flirt, but Cole thinks Jessica isn't interested because she sees him as a little kid. This makes me wonder if Cole has ever seen a little kid.
Joe and Mike are getting along, but Mike is still Joe's biggest target. Joe finds himself in a bind because he wants to hunt for the idol, but he's already told the tribe that Mike has it.
This doesn't completely deter Joe. In fact, he finds the first idol clue stamped on a tree. He can't quite figure out where it is, so he gets Cole to help him. Cole figures out that it's by the water well. They dig around the well and Joe finds the idol.
Of course, Joe is now nervous that Cole knows his secret.
I found this whole exchange to be really interesting. My first instinct would have been to destroy the clue after I found it. Maybe you could scratch it off of the tree? But, the way Joe ended up going about it, he now shares a secret with someone who seems like he'll be loyal.
Actually, I wonder if there was an opportunity for Cole to keep his well revelation quiet and find the idol for himself later. But, it was in the heat of the moment, so I don't blame him for not thinking of it.
Chrissy breaks down the entire tribe "Terminator" style. It was truly inspiring. She thinks JP isn't very bright, Ashley is a player, Alan is a risky person to partner with, and Ben is the best alliance for her.
Immunity Challenge Time: Three players from each tribe will dive into the water and retrieve bags of puzzle pieces. Once they've all been collected, the remaining teammates will use the pieces to complete a signpost puzzle. The first tribe to finish will win immunity and a giant fishing kit, the second tribe gets immunity and a more modest fishing kit.
Challenge Result: Despite falling behind early, the Healers were able to claim first place. The Heroes took second. Ali and Simone were the losing puzzle team.
It looks like it's going to come down to Simone vs. Patrick.
Simone tries to "shape the narrative" by pointing out that Patrick and Lauren are always butting heads.
Patrick does his own narrative shaping by claiming that Simone doesn't do much for the tribe.
Ali, Ryan, and Devon seem to be the ones making the call. They feel like Pat is unpredictable, but good at challenges and Simone is a challenge liability, but she'll be loyal.
Not much to report on here, other than everybody acting shocked when Patrick said he didn't trust everyone in the tribe. That was odd to me because who trusts everyone on their tribe?
Also, Lauren said she hopes they don't see Probst again anytime soon. That's hurtful. And, he's gonna be at the challenges, this isn't Samoa.
Voting: We've got one vote for Patrick, three votes for Simone, and the second person voted out of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers" is…Simone.
Verdict: This seems like a solid decision from the Healers. When you break down the pros and cons of Patrick vs. Simone, you have someone who's wild, but good in challenges against someone who has the potential to be strategically dangerous and is bad at challenges.
Ali and Ryan – They've got a solid majority, they've got some potential fodder in Patrick, and they've got that hustle.
Chrissy – From potentially on the bottom to a comfortable alliance with Ben in one day? Well done.
Ben – Sometimes you can just sit back and everyone comes to you.
Devon – Sooper minor nitpick…but did your smiling comment tip Ryan off to when you're lying?
Joe – I like that you're forward-thinking with your concern for Cole, but targeting him now is going to be a mess.
Ashley – People are always afraid of power couples. You did the best job of becoming the power couple partner they're most likely to keep around.
Cole – Someone like Joe is going to want to do all of the thinking. Let him. Otherwise he'll turn on you quickly.
Patrick – "Survivor" 101…don't be annoying early in the game. People are looking for any reason to target someone. Don't give them a reason.
JP – If people think you're in a power couple, open lines of communication with everyone, not just with your power couple partner. All the lobsters in the world can't protect you if you're keeping to yourself. Well, giant lobsters could protect you.
Lauren, Desiree, Roark, Jessica, Mike, and Alan – I can't give you full credit if you don't show your work.
Power Rankings Results: Aubry Bracco had Simone in spot 14, I had her in spot 11. The current score is Team Bracco 14, Team Holmes 11.


One of the top players in the Class of 2017 is closing in on his decision. Mater Dei High School standout Osiris St. Brown took to Twitter to announce his final two schools and announcement date.
Brown, a four-star wide receiver recruit, will be choosing between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Stanford Cardinal.
His commitment will come on Friday, Aug. 5.
Currently, 247 Sports predicts Stanford has a slight edge over Notre Dame, despite the fact that St. Brown's brother, Class of 2015 four-star wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, is a sophomore for the Fighting Irish.
St. Brown is currently rated the No. 20 wide receiver in the nation. He is also a top 20 recruit in the state of California, so he is going to make some coach very happy.

Celebrating early childhood educators during Women's History Month: "Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them."
Posted on March 28, 2018	by natalievieira
By Michelle Peng, All Our Kin intern
March is Women's History Month, dedicated to the phenomenal women who have broken barriers and created opportunities for those who have followed. At All Our Kin, we have been reflecting on women's narratives of excellence, solidarity, and strength–narratives that often remain untold. One such narrative is the long history of child care advocacy in the United States–a history that has always been driven by and centered around women. We honor the legacies of child care advocates, and look to their leadership in shaping our work to elevate family child care today.
The work of nurturing and educating our youngest children has historically been considered "women's work," taken on by mothers who cared for their own children without compensation, and enslaved or employed women caring for other people's children. Unsurprisingly, child care work often fell to women of color. Even today, the demographics of the child care workforce continue to reflect patterns of power and privilege. Ninety-four percent of child care workers are female, and nearly half are women of color. As a result of the traditional devaluing of women's work, particularly the work of women of color, the profession of early childhood education is often overlooked in both policy and practice. The average wage for child care workers is $9.62 per hour, despite what we know about the critical importance of early care and education to the vitality of children, families, and communities.
And yet, as long as these trends have existed, there have been women–child care providers, parents, advocates–who have resisted. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, women demanded support for the hard work of raising children. Progressive Era reformers like Jane Addams and Julia Anthrop fought for Mother's Pensions that supported widowed mothers raising children. Decades later, poor, black women like Ruby Duncan pushed for programs that supported women and children nationwide in what became the Welfare Mothers' Movement. Beyond these examples, there have been countless leaders who have fought for families and children, whether during the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the Women's Rights Movement and the Welfare Mothers Movement of the 1960s, or the advocacy in the wake of welfare reform in the 90s, which led to the founding of All Our Kin. The actions of these activists brought national attention to the work of child care and often resulted in policies that better supported mothers and children.
In 2018, women continue to make history in the field of early childhood. Just last week, Congress passed the largest increase to child care funding in history, a bipartisan deal that included an additional $2.37 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant and $610 million for Head Start (including a $115 million increase for Early Head Start). The credit for these unprecedented investments in child care goes to the early childhood professionals, mothers, and advocates across the country who have been relentless in pursuit of the supports that our educators, children, and families need and deserve.
Even as we celebrate these victories, we know that there is still work to be done. At All Our Kin, we will continue to partner with the family child care providers in our network, and the families they serve, to keep the momentum going and secure big wins for our youngest children and the educators who care for and love them. And while we look towards the future, we will continue to honor the advocates, the women, who have brought us to this point. During Women's History Month, and every day, we know that our work would not be possible without the narratives they shared, the changes they catalyzed, and the women they empowered.

Four Brexit Party MEPs Step to back Johnson per week before election
By admin on December 8, 2019
Four Brexit Party MEPs are set to Step at a Movement to Encourage Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Only a week before a snap election in the United Kingdom.
In a statement published on Thursday, celebration leader Nigel Farage voiced his disappointment and refused Brexit Party candidates were serving Labour to win.
"Whilst we are disappointed that four of our MEPs do not appear to understand we saved the Conservative party from large scale declines to the Liberal Democrats from the South and South West of England but we're also beating the Labour Leave vote from its traditional heartlands making it a lot easier for the Conservatives to win a lot of these seats," Farage said.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg, among those MEPs who are stopping the party, said in a statement:
"We want a solid Leave-supporting authorities to supply the Brexit 17.4m voted for. The Conservatives are the only alternative for Brexit fans and Democrats alike."
A Brexit celebration spokesman downplayed the resignations, linking them into the MEP's relations with Cabinet members.
"We also notice that among those MEPs is that the sister of a Cabinet Minister, yet another has a spouse who works in the workplace of the same Cabinet Minister and another is a personal friend of the two Boris Johnson and Michael Gove," the spokesman said.
The spokesman also bashed among those stopping MEPs for changing positions.
"In the event of John Longworth, that had been for decades the firmest urge of WTO withdrawal that we've ever met, " he underwent a metamorphosis to being a supporter of this new EU treaty after two weeks of meetings in London. We expect that Mr Longworth is nicely rewarded for his activities."
