Jim Jachetta (00:00):
I think we'll get started. Good morning, everyone. I'm Jim Jachetta, co-founder and CTO of VidOvation. Thank you for joining us today. Some of you may have been able to come to NAB, some of you may have not been able to travel for various reasons. So the purpose of these three webinars that we're doing, short little webinars, I'll try to be short. I have a bad habit of going long, but I'll try to keep it short as possible, just for those of you that couldn't make it.
In talking to customers before the show we called customers, texted customers, "Are you coming to the NAB Show?" And there was a common theme that it wasn't so much fear of COVID or travel restrictions, people were working, people were busy and I'm hoping that's a good sign that people didn't have the time to go to the show. They're like, "I'm rebuilding a control room. I'm rebuilding a studio, I'm on a production for the next six weeks. So I think things are slowly getting back to normal and I hope I'm correct in that assumption.
So for whatever reason, if you couldn't make it to NAB, my colleague, Rick and I, spent a lot of time in the Aviwest Haivision booth. For those of you that may not have heard the news, our premier bonded cellular partner Aviwest got purchased by a Haivision and the plan is to integrate first mile connectivity over cellular with the SRT and some of the infrastructure video over IP and streaming technology of Haivision. So it's very exciting. Aviwest, their protocol is called SST similar to SRT, but SST is great to bond the connection to go over an unmanaged network for that first mile, that challenging mile.
So I think it's a great addition to the Haivision offering the marriage of the two technologies and the two companies together. I had the honor of speaking, I think it's for the sixth time, on a panel at NAB. The panel committee chose me to speak about how 5G simplify live remote production workflows, how bonded cellular 5G helped during the pandemic. And, actually, the first professional sporting event that came back after the lockdown in May of 2020 was an event that Vidovation and Aviwest made possible, and that's with the PGA. So let me get into this presentation.
So what I'm going to do today is I'm going to quickly go through my presentation. It's about at home production, REMI production over the public internet and bonded cellular. I'll then close with some videos and some slides, and my colleague, Fallon, will hand out some data sheets on some of the new products. But all of this kind of ties into the live production workflow, but particularly over unmanaged network cellular and the public internet.
So going to learn how broadcasters like the PGA are using this technology. We're going to talk about how 5G is helping. A common question we get is, well, is 5G going to put bonded cellular out of business? I always use the analogy like lanes on the freeway. I grew up in New York. Traffic is a whole nother level here in California. So every time they add another lane to the freeway, the traffic doesn't get any better. So 5G is going to give us more capacity, but we're going to use up that pipe so we're still going to need multiple connections, we're still going to need bonding.
The big benefit of 5G I see is lowering latency. And with video transmission, the quicker we can transmit the lower latency, that's important. So let's dive right into it. Well, one other thing too that we're going to cover is we particularly are good at the Aviwest technology really differentiates itself for multi camera. And why is that important? Well, if you have multiple cameras over an unmanaged connection such as cellular the public internet, the cameras could get out of sync, they can drift and then you can't cut a live show if the video and audio are out of sync and the lip-sync is out of sync. So that's an important topic we'll discuss.
So when the pandemic struck, I mean, we've been promoting the idea of producing an entire show, a multi-camera live event over cellular in the public internet for years. I mean, we did the rider cup years ago, we did some lower level PGA events, fishing tournaments. So I think the common consensus is COVID and the lockdown didn't invent new technology, it just accelerated things that we already had. Yes, there were some new additions. Nobody knew what Zoom was before COVID. Now everyone, Zoom is a verb, "Let me zoom you, let me zoom you."
We run our whole business now on Slack, so it's like, "Let me Slack you for collaboration." So tools that were already out there now have been put into widespread use. So before the lockdown, we were always promoting the idea of sending less people to the production site, so it enhances graphic with a reduction in staff, saving time, saving money. One of the biggest challenges post COVID now, a lot of people have gotten out of the workforce or have switched industries or have retired, so there's a shortage of personnel. And doing an at home production where you have less of a footprint on site and your skilled workers are back at the master control, an instant replay operator instead of doing one or two games a week now can do one or two games a day. They could do games in different time zones.
So your knowledge worker, your director, your TD, your video engineer, producers, et cetera, if they don't have to travel as part of their job, they, can be more productive. They can do more than one event in the same day. They could do an event in New York earlier in the day, and then cover a game in the afternoon in LA. I apologize, some customers of mine, some of these vehicles might be yours. This is just for marketing approach, marketing visual. But really what's happening is the truck is not being eliminated, truck is being moved. So in the case of the PGA, instead of sending one or two trailers to a PGA event, PGA is bringing these feeds back to their master control in St. Augusta, and they don't have master control capacity. They don't have enough production switches.
So the Game Creek or NEP truck instead of going to the venue is going to the studio, it's in the parking lot. It's literally in the parking lot at PGA headquarters, so that capacity is just moving and then an operator can stay in the same truck and do multiple events during the day or there's trucks in parallel doing simultaneous events in different parts of the country, different parts of the world. So maybe the size of trucks are changing, trucks are going to be more IP now, going to need a good internet connection to the truck. Again, it makes sense to have it in a central location. So the trucks are not going away, but maybe they're just being used in a different capacity.
So back to May of 2020, the local health department were all in lockdown. They decided that 50 people was the magic number to allow on the golf course. And one of the players, his dad is a member of the Seminole Golf Club, and Seminole is not usually on the PGA circuit, it's a private club. So if this was Pebble Beach, Pebble Beach probably has a level three or the switch has a circuit in there, there's a fiber coming in there because they do multiple events during a year, so there's infrastructure. So the only real choice would've been satellite, but we wanted to try. The PGA had been using… Our bonded cellular had gotten good results like, "Look, this is the perfect event. Let's do the whole production via multi-camera bonded cellular."
And it worked. We were all allowed 50 people that included the golfers, the crew, the officials. Professional golfers had to carry their own bags, the poor guys. They couldn't have a caddy. There was no quota for caddies. Now in this particular project, it just so happened that we were operating in the same state. Seminole is down in Juno Beach and St. Augustine is in Northern Florida, but some events we do can be 10,000 miles away, it doesn't matter whether it's a couple of 100 feet or a couple of 100 yards to tens of thousands of miles away. Some of the fishing tournaments we do, the truck is in town nearby, they set up a stage, they have fans, they have an audience. Some of the on-air talent is on the stage, so there's nearby fan experience but the bass fishing boats are out on the lake going over cellular, hitting the public internet, and then coming into the truck in town via an internet connection.
So there's variations of the workflow at home. Your home might be a truck nearby, your home might be your real home. The technology facilitates you working from home. Mike Tirico didn't feel comfortable traveling to Florida to be one of the on air color commentators for the tournaments so bonded cellular technology was used to loop him into the production. And cellular, as we all know, there is some latency. There's anywhere from half a second to eight tenths of a second of latency. We're constantly working on improving that. The newer products from Aviwest can do 300 to 500 milliseconds of latency. So we're getting very close to fiber connectivity types latency. So here's a picture of the course.
So there were six live cameras, two in the tee box, two in the fairway two on the greens and they kind of rotated. The two cameras on the tee follow the first group out to the green, and they kind of went in a circle or they went in a loop as another crew came through or another group came through. Then there was some parabolic microphones catching the audio on the course. So there were about eight or nine cameras capturing the same sporting event, and then a couple of dozen microphones all open in the same area. And you can imagine if the video was out of step, or the audio, there was a lip-sync problem or a video gen-lock issue, you couldn't cut a live show. With live, there's no opportunity to fix things in post. So this kind of gives a picture of why it's so important to have everything in perfect sync, perfect gen-lock.
Then this slide shows what is the magic? SST now is going to be merged into SRT in the cloud. Aviwest has a strong cloud solution, Haivision has a strong cloud solution with SRT, I'm sorry. So SST will get it to the cloud or get it to the studio. SRT will be used for distribution between facilities or from the cloud to your facility. So that's the magic. The SST is what does the bonding. We can use satellite, BGAN or satellite. We could use an internet connection or IP connection. We can use wifi or cellular.
One common question we get asked is what's that one thing that makes Aviwest work better? Well, one of our bass fishing tournament production companies, they had another vendor's product, it's one of the top vendors in a bass boat next to an Aviwest demo set up, and the goal was the unit was set to five megabits. So five megabits per second was the desired video bit rate. The competing product was fluctuating 500 K, maybe a Meg. 500 K maybe 1.2 Meg. The Aviwest field and coder was pinned at five, perfect textbook. So why? What is the magic? Is there some kind of voodoo? Do you have a land connection going through the water underneath the boat? What's the trick?
We weren't on site, there's really no trick, and it's a lot of little things, starts with better antennas. The cellular device that has the strongest signal wins at the tower. So if you are in a ballpark or a stadium with 80,000 fans all on their phones, if the Aviwest bonded seller comes into the venue, it has a stronger connection to the tower, it's going to get priority. So better antennas, and then better modems. And what makes a better modem? Better radio, better sensitivity, but it's the bands. Aviwest uses modems that connect to all the bands globally, every single band.
In older products, two modems would be tweaked for Verizon, two modems would be tweaked for AT&T, two for T-Mobile and then even sprint. Sprint now is part of T-Mobile. So these different flavors of modems only saw the bands for that one carrier. Now because the modems see all the bands, what makes the Aviwest work where other products fail is it sees a band that other product can't see. And a lot of times these lesser used bands are what saves the day in a crowded venue, or they are the lower frequency bands that go longer distance, go through walls, go through obstructions better.
So that's part of the special sauce. And then the software, the algorithm, the SST, that's an important part. Another thing we learned with several customers, we learned the importance of having analog audio inputs. With the PGA, the top trace that read graphic that follows the ball when it goes on its arc through the air, that telemetry is sent to the truck or the production studio via audio channel an analog audio channel. That telemetry, I guess, it sends coordinates of where the ball is on the screen through the telemetry. So that was a big pleasant surprise. And then also they didn't need a video and better to get audio into the bonded cellular product. For the guys, the operator was just doing parabolic mics.
So the smaller unit with two cellular modems was used for audio only connections, and then the flagship with eight cellular modems was used for the main video feeds. Again, we talked about the need for the frame accurate gen-lock. We're hoping the show comes back, but this technology made the live PD show possible. Again, same problem. Multiple police cars roll up on an incident, there could be four to six sets of cameras each with their own sets of microphones all open at the same time, it'd be like, "You're under arrest, you're under arrest," or they cut between scenes like, "We already saw that scene, why is it that the camera going backwards?" So the gen-lock and the lip-sync is very, very important.
Another critical thing with PGA was they wanted to shade cameras through link, and some cameras do not like any latency at all when it comes to CCU, RCP or camera control. What the camera and the CCU or camera control unit or the remote control unit or RCP expect is the camera to be in the same studio, to be in the same building, and they're expecting it on a managed LAN or a short cable in the studio. So we partner with a vendor by the name of CyanView, and they just do camera control, that's all they do, and they're really, really good at it. So what they do is they allow the camera to go over longer distances, they allow the camera systems to tolerate latency. So if you're in studio and it's a managed connection, the latency is more manageable, maybe 10-20 milliseconds.
You put a little gizmo on the camera called the CIO, it just will do a serial to IP camera conversion to get it over the network to the control room. The RIO is used for remote. The R in RIO I believe stands for remote. So that smooths out latency. So any of you guys and girls out there that have done camera control and you've had a problem, a cable breaks, some camera systems when they lose connectivity with the RCP or the CCU, they go berserk. The iris will close, the iris will open. So what CyanView does, the RIO actually mimics the RCP at the camera. So if the connection is interrupted or the latency is a little bit too long, and if it's longer than the camera would tolerate, the RIO is emulating the RCP to keep the camera calm.
And if the connection is interrupted, the camera's like, "What's my Iris setting? What's my Iris setting?" And the RIO would say, "It's still 32, it's still 32." "What's my pedestal level?" "It's still eight, it's still eight." So it keeps the camera calm, it maintains a constant connection, and the Rio is just communicating with the RCP for changes. Is the camera operator opening the Iris or closing it, or is it changing the black pedestal, that kind of thing. And one RCP can control multiple cameras.
So the PGA sets the cameras up based on the cloud cover, the exposure that day. They do some live changes, but they usually just set it and kind of forget it unless there's something drastically wrong. But you could shade in real time across the connection, but there would be 100, 150 millisecond latency in the shading. So you just want to bear in mind, you don't want to make sudden changes. You don't want to overshoot it. Well, it's too dark, slowly bring it up. I don't know, I've done some amateur shading at Saddleback church here. I always shade as if the camera's live. I just do subtle soft changes in case they cut to the camera, no one sees a sharp transition.
So you see here, the RIO is on the camera side, there is a quarter 20 little mount on the bottom so you could attach it to a hot shoe or an accessory shoe on the camera. PGA really loves it and it works really, really well with the Aviwest technology. It goes through the Aviwest data bridge, data bridge is what they call it, and it sets up a virtual VPN, a secure, bonded cellular connection between the studio and the field and the CyanView camera control goes over that connection.
Aviwest also has rolled out recently return video. It comes out of an HDMI port on all the field encoders, and you can have more than one return video. Now, you can't have more than one return video going to the same camera, but camera one could have program feed, camera two could have teleprompter. So you could have different flavors, or if you have two different sets of talent in front of two different cameras in the field, you probably might want a different teleprompter for each talent or whatever the case may be. Aviwest also has a multi-viewer function where that could be fed back as one of the returns if somebody wants to see ISOs of all the cameras. It's common confidence, right, that the cameras are reaching the studio because I see the multi view of all the ISO cameras coming back to me so I know it's made a round trip for confidence.
Aviwest supports all these different standards, both input and output. Their SreamHub is really apply named calling it your streaming hub, because it's not just a decoder, it's not just a receiver, you can take IP video in and out from any vendor. So the top of the list is their proprietary SST, but this is how the Aviwest engineers met the high vision engineers. Aviwest did a really great implementation, robust implementation of S R T in their platform with the help of high vision. And I think when they were done with that project, "Hey, we like working with you guys and we're French Canadians, and we speak French. Maybe it's a little bit different accent and you guys are French, French so why don't we work together?" So I think that's how the happy marriage came about.
But here's the cool thing, even before the merger, you could send your SRT feed from your Makito to an Aviwest SreamHub, because we can take SRT in. We can feed SRT out to the cloud, or if we're working with AWS elemental, they prefer SRT for the egress or for the distribution standard, SRT is one of their approved standards. So SRT is kind of the video over IP common language right now, common format, so it really makes sense. Then I mentioned the SreamHub. Now the SreamHub can be an appliance, it's just a server running Linux, but we spin it up in the cloud all the time. We can do parallel workflows, stream to the studio, and then hand off things to the cloud with IP outputs, from the SreamHub.
So the SDI outputs could be feeding the more traditional workflow, the IP outputs could be going up to the cloud and working with vMix or Grass Valley AMPP or EasyLive, or SimplyLive, whatever your preferred cloud solution might be. So a lot of things are done in hybrid. Old school/new school workflows in studio, in cloud type workflows. This slide's a little dated, Aviwest is already doing NDI now for a good 18 months and WebRTC is being used. I don't know if you guys are familiar with that, that's the video protocol used in gaming. It's got pretty good video quality, but it's very low latency because in gaming when you're interacting with your teammates, if there's latency, that'd be very bad. So it's a low latency yet still pretty good fidelity protocol.
Aviwest has integrated that into their live guest product, which I'll talk about and SMTE2110 hooks in and out of the SreamHub are coming later this year, so that's coming soon. Let me see. Oh, this is a good slide. I hope you guys are okay, I know I said this was 20 minutes. I'm probably going to go about 45 if you're okay with that. If you have to jump off, I'm recording this so you can catch it later. So I'll tell you a story when we first started working with the PGA, I'll usually use the PGA as an example, but all of our clients, they would get to a venue and they were like, "This lake has no Verizon," or, "This golf course has no Verizon, can you send 400 AT&T sims?" And we would package them, send them out. They'd have to pull the Verizon is out, and put the AT&Ts in. Then they go to another venue. "Oh, there's no T-Mobile." Because the old modems could only work with Verizon or only one carrier.
Now because Aviwest uses these modems that can pick up any band, now we marry that with e-SIMs and we marry it with SIMs that can work with any carrier. So I use a PGA. They would get to a venue where there was only AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile were not present, there's a dead spot, not to pick on Verizon or T-Mobile, there's other venues where there's no AT&T. So there would only be two SIMs for AT&T in the unit. So try to do the show on two SIMs, two modems. So four or six modems depending upon the product were wasted. That doesn't happen anymore. You don't have to change the SIMs anymore. The unit will automatically find alternate carriers that are available. It'll scan for a better frequency band on any carrier and it's all automatic. So in that venue where there was only AT&T not having to change SIMs and not only being running on two modems, miraculously, all the modems would connect to AT&T and they would find connectivity on the tower.
So these e-SIMs have been a huge help, gives better reliability, better failover, better redundancy, better bit rate, better throughput. So it's been really, really helpful for all of our customers. Here's a slide about the remote interview solution. So again, this is the one that uses the WebRTC technology. So it's very, very simple. In the Aviwest ecosystem, all that happens is you put the email address of the attendee of the remote worker, the remote analyst, the remote host, whatever, and you send them an email. They click the link and their browser pops up. It uses their webcam. You could have a better camera. If you had an HDMI capture card in your computer, or NDI makes a virtual webcam bridge from NDI to a virtual webcam, so you could have an NDI camera.
So you don't have to be stuck with a webcam or your little camera in your notebook computer. You could have a better camera nearby assuming the guest has that ability to set up a camera and it's all automatic like a Zoom meeting. You pick the camera and the remote guest, they don't need any special software, it's all done in their browser. So it's a really, really great, simple workflow. You don't need to fly a technician to the site. I think people are more, if they can see the person and hear them, I think viewers are typically less concerned about the fidelity of a person, a talking head. We're not going to run the Super Bowl through this connection with a lot of motion, but for an interview or talking head it's perfect and works really well. Customers really like it.
And when they go live, they just appear as another input on the SreamHub receiver. So just like another camera coming in the field, it's like, "Oh, there's Becky, our commentator." She's up. Boom. They work her into the workflow and it works really nicely. So I have some other slides that I want to share with you guys. I'm going to roll some videos now. Here's my contact. I know a lot of you folks know me, but in case you don't know who I am. And I see Fallon has chatted you some links to some of the products I talked about. Thank you, Fallon.
Here's my contact information. I don't know if you can do a QR code of your screen, you might be able to. This will give you a download of a post show. We post the recordings and I put the presentation online. So you'll be able to get everything I've showed you today. Takes us about a week to produce everything and put it up online, so about a week, you can expect that. So let me close this and I'm going to show you some videos that I think you'll find interesting. So let me see here.
Let me… Wait, I got to stop sharing. I'm relatively new to using Zoom so pardon me if I fumble a little bit, but I think I know what I'm doing. Now I jinxed it, here we go. So this is some of the new products from Aviwest.
So what you just saw is the new flagship product, it's called the Pro 460 5G. I think it's only going to be offered in a 5G variant so it'll be 5G out of the box.
Fallon (32:26):
Hey, Jim, your videos, aren't playing for us on our end just so you know.
Oh, you know what? I didn't click… Let me do it again then. I'm sorry. I see Tom, yep. Thanks, guys. Let me try that again. I think I know what I did wrong. Wait, wait, wait, I got to share. I didn't do optimize for video. So yeah, why is that not… No. Okay, I'll do this a different way. I'm just going to do it kind of an old school way. Let me just share this screen over here. Let me do it a different way. Let's do this. I'll just share that screen and optimize. I'll just play it right here.
Did that work better? I think I may have interrupted it by looking at the chats during it.
That worked great.
Oh, it did? Okay, great. Let me just get some of this off my screen. Let me roll another video. Thanks guys for your patience. Let me share.
Yeah. So that was the Pro 460. That's the camera mount unit. If you have a bigger camera, it goes between the camera and the battery. I believe Aviwest is one of the few vendors that mounts the unit on the camera or there is another system that goes on the camera, but it's enormous, it's I want to say four or five inches wide to me. My dad used to make a joke when he worked at NBC it's like just because you put a handle on the side of a refrigerator, doesn't make the refrigerator portable. Aviwest is nice, thin, low profile. It goes between the battery and the camera, and then you also saw the Rack4 that's the Rack mount version.
A lot of the systems out there, if a customer wants to put it in a rack, they put the portable unit on a shelf, but then you have cellular modems inside of a rack, not an elegant solution. So Aviwest really takes the effort to re-engineer the product to make it suitable to go in a truck or in rack, and then having remote antennas outside the vehicle or outside the rack or a portable unit that goes on the camera or if it's a smaller camera, Aviwest does provide backpacks. Here, let me show you another video. This is a good one about the data bridge. You can meet Aviwest CTO, let me share. And here we go. Here's the CTO of Aviwest.
Ronan Poullaouec (37:56):
Hello. I am Ronan Poullaouec, chief technology officer at Aviwest. In this clip, I'm pleased to introduce a databridge feature available on our air and post three transmitters and our StreamHub.
This feature offers high speed mobile internet connectivity from everywhere. As an example, it allows you to remotely control any kind of IP-based equipment like PTZ cameras or camera control units. Camera selection and control can be fully managed from the remote studio through a reliable IP channel managed by our SST technology. The data bridge can operate in parallel to the live transmission to increase your personal efficiency and cost savings. The Aviwest databridge allows you to produce multi-camera live events from a centralized control room instead of using onsite production types. A reduced team is required onsite which is key with today's physical distancing rules.
Ronan is the mastermind of all this technology and the databridge, that's the, that's the connectivity that PGA uses for camera control in conjunction with the CyanView.
Samuel (39:53):
… the networks also used by the live. I mean the cellular network, the satellite, or simply the internet. From the field, the setup is very simple. Our flagship pro three premium encoder transmitter is performing live and is ready to receive a video return by connecting a small display on its HDMI output. No other configuration is required, it's plug and play.

Accidental shootings are common in the United States, a country where there are more guns than people. According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 500 people died in firearm accidents in 2021. – EPA pic, January 25, 2023.
A DOG shot and killed a man in the United States over the weekend, police said, after the animal stepped on and accidentally discharged a gun left on the backseat of a pickup truck.
The victim, who was sitting in the truck's front passenger seat, was struck in the back as he and the pet were out on a hunting excursion Saturday, according to police in the central US state of Kansas.

Evidence-based Conservation: An Economic Perspective
By Timm Kroeger

At its core, economics is about using scarce resources smartly to maximize the production of desired outcomes. Most human endeavors are constrained by available resources and their pursuit therefore has an economic dimension.
Conservation is no exception. So what does it mean to be smart about pursuing conservation objectives? It means employing the strategies and tools that yield the biggest conservation gain for our budget — in other words, maximizing the conservation "return" on our investments.
Unfortunately, figuring out what those gains are for each of the various approaches we might deploy to promote a particular conservation outcome generally is not a trivial undertaking. This task could be aided if systematic reviews were available for many conservation interventions that would provide an evidence base to draw on (Pullin and Knight, 2001).
Yet, for many interventions, that evidence base currently is less than solid, especially interventions that aim to increase the provision of ecosystem services.
Map the Evidence: What Don't We Know about Conservation & Human Well-being? By Justine E. Hausheer
Nature & Prosperity: The Evidence We Still Need & The Right Questions to Ask By Paul Ferraro
Reforestation for Ozone Removal: An Attractive Option By Marty Downs
Here, the challenge is to translate evidence on the effects of interventions on ecosystem functions into the resulting changes in ecosystem services that directly impact people's wellbeing (Ringold et al., 2013).
For example, we know that riparian reforestation reduces nutrient inputs into surface waters from pasture and agricultural lands. But by how much does reforestation of specific lands in the watershed increase the quality of recreational swimming or fishing at the locations those activities occur downstream? How much does it reduce water treatment costs for the downstream utility?
Conducting rigorous experimental or quasi-experimental assessments for each and every project would be prohibitively expensive and inefficient. After all, whatever resources we spend on predicting and documenting the conservation outcomes of interventions are no longer available for actually implementing those interventions and producing those outcomes.
Effectiveness evaluation is itself subject to a return-on-investment calculus: We need to make sure that the additional resources invested in analysis generate "value of information" in the form of improved project design and resulting conservation outcomes that at least offsets the reduction in those outcomes caused by redirecting funds away from implementation and to evaluation.
In short, the goal of conservation planning cannot be to identify for each project the "perfect" intervention.
Despite these challenges, there is an urgent need to build the evidence base for many types of conservation interventions. We need a nuanced approach: focus on projects that most require evidence (Montambault, 2012) and are characterized by high risk and high leverage potential, and only where there is a clear plan for incorporating the findings into future planning (Montambault and Groves, 2009).
But don't we already know that our interventions work?
For many interventions, the answer is yes. The question, however, is not so much whether something works, but rather how much or how well it works, and how much or well it would work at alternative sites. Only if we can answer these questions can we become smarter about selecting our intervention portfolio and improving intervention designs.
To return to the riparian example, reforestation reduces sediment loads from a parcel of land, but we need to know how much it does so on parcels with specific characteristics (i.e., land cover/use, slope, soil type and climate), and how those impacts travel downstream to the locations at which we care about sediment (say, fish spawning grounds, reservoirs, or municipal water intakes).
Crucially, the size of the conservation return on our investment depends on what would happen without the conservation action.
Reforestation of the riparian zone of a property currently in pasture will reduce stream sediment loads. But we cannot automatically assume that our effect on sediment loads is the difference between current loads and loads produced with a restored riparian forest in place. Reforestation might occur anyway for any number of reasons, or pasture might be converted to row crops or some other cover.
Correctly identifying the impact of an intervention on target outcomes thus requires accounting for changes in the other factors affecting those outcomes.
Such "counterfactual thinking" is critical for credible project evaluation and for building the evidence base for conservation and environmental policy in general (Ferraro, 2009).
Constructing quality counterfactuals is not easy nor always possible. But neither is it rocket science. Failing to account for the counterfactual — "the world without the project"— can lead to large biases in assessments of intervention effectiveness (Blackman, 2013).
The ability to demonstrate and quantify the effectiveness of conservation interventions will be crucial for mobilizing large-scale investments in natural infrastructure solutions. While those investments seek to increase particular ecosystem services flows rather than conservation per se, they nevertheless can yield substantial conservation benefits.
However, mobilizing those investments in many cases will require demonstrating a solid "business case" by showing that conservation produces desired gains in priority ecosystem services at lower cost than alternative solutions.
Take water funds, for example. Investors contributing to existing water funds in many cases appear to be motivated by a variety of reasons other than a clear expectation of net financial gain.
Many of those reasons — advancing environmental science and management; benefiting local communities and ecosystems; applying the precautionary principle — are laudable, and there will be other cases where these reasons provide a sufficient incentive for some investment by some private or public entities.
Yet, it seems reasonable to assume that vastly larger investments in watershed conservation in many more watersheds, not 10 or 20, but 1,000 or 2,000, might be unlocked if one could demonstrate that their returns would exceed those of alternative, conventional solutions.
Such demonstration requires evidence based on credible analysis similar in rigor to that demanded for conventional solutions. It also requires application of an appropriate analytical framework that guides the design of efficiently targeted monitoring, construction of counterfactual scenarios, and use of modeling and appropriate ecosystem services metrics (Higgins et al., 2013).
In short, to have a chance at unlocking those sorely-needed new funding streams for conservation, we need to move from intuition, anecdotes and qualitative assessments to quantitative proof of effectiveness. We need to identify where investment in creating an evidence base would yield the highest returns of target ecosystem services, and then start building that base.
Water funds have begun doing this, and so have a number of other high-profile strategies.
None of this is easy. Yet it is necessary, worthwhile, and urgent.
The massive projected infrastructure spending on climate change adaptation (Parry et al., 2009) will go entirely towards grey infrastructure in the absence of proof of the competitiveness of natural alternatives. And grey infrastructure is sunk-cost and long-lived — once it is in the ground, no amount of proof of the superior performance of natural alternatives will un-build it.

This is a big area that is currently unexplored in the infrastructure engineering field, and one that is only partially touched on by infrastructure rating tools such as the recently developed Envision Rating Tool – http://www.sustainableinfrastructure.org/ . The value of retaining or enhancing natural assets is something that engineers will need to understand as we adapt to climate change.

I thought I ordered sole, but as flounders go, it was rather long and thin.
This dish was however very clever. It was served with a wonderful sweet reduction and with toasted almonds on the top, and filled with steamed spinach. And a sprig of rosemary proudly garnished the dish.
The fish were perfect, and the combination of tastes were exquisite!!

Dog food recall over high levels of mold byproduct expands: FDA
By FOX News
FILE IMAGE -- Photo by Newscast/Universal Images Group via Getty Images
Beware, dog owners: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced that it expanded a previously announced dog food recall over concerns the products contain a mold byproduct that is potentially above acceptable levels.
Sunshine Mills' expanded recall comes after the company first announced the recall in September over concerns the products contained above-limit levels of aflatoxin, which the FDA said at the time is a "naturally occurring mold byproduct from the growth of Aspergillus flavus and can be harmful to pets if consumed in significant quantities."
The expanded recall affects dog foods distributed in the U.S., but also those distributed in Japan and Colombia, the FDA said.
"Principle Super Premium Natural Dog Food is exported exclusively to a distributor in Japan. Sportsman's Pride Maintenance Adult Formula Dog Food is also exported to a distributor in Japan and Colombia. Retailers who received the recalled lots have been contacted and asked to pull any remaining inventory of these lots from their shelves," per the federal agency.

Various Sunshine Mills' dog food brands have been affected, including Champ, Field Trial, Good Dog, Hunter's Special, Old Glory, Paws Happy Life, Pet Expert, Principle, Retriever, River Bend, and Sportsman's Pride, among others. A full list can be found here.
Pets with aflatoxin toxicity, also known as aflatoxicosis, often show symptoms such as sluggishness or lethargy "combined with a reluctance to eat, vomiting, yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, diarrhea, and in some cases, death," per the FDA. "Pets experiencing any of these symptoms after consuming the recalled products should be seen by a veterinarian."
Consumers who purchased one of the recalled products can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, according to the announcement.
Pet owners with further questions or concerns can contact the company's customer service line at (800) 705-2111 or email customer.service@sunshinemills.com.

What is an unusual fact about Thomas Jefferson?
What was Thomas Jefferson's biggest problem?
Was Thomas Jefferson a vegetarian?
Did Thomas Jefferson eat a tomato?
What did Thomas Jefferson do for fun?
What was Thomas Jefferson's favorite color?
1. He was a (proto) archaeologist. Jefferson collected fossils and was obsessed with animals, especially the mammoth. He even had the bones of a mastodon (now displayed in the Monticello Entrance Hall) sent to him during his residence in the President's House in Washington, DC.
Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.
Thomas Jefferson cannot be called a vegetarian as we understand the term today. For his own era, however, he was unusually moderate in his consumption of meat and was notable for the variety as well as the quantity of vegetables that he ate. 1.
What were Thomas Jefferson's mistakes?
The two fatal failures of the presidency of Thomas Jefferson are the relations with the Barbary Pirates and the Embargo Act, both directly stimulating American involvement with the war of 1812, thus ruining American neutrality. Jefferson did not have a failed presidency, but a flawed one.
What was Thomas Jefferson favorite food?
Thomas Jefferson: Mac and cheese.
We can say with certainty that Thomas Jefferson both cultivated and ate tomatoes from 1809 until 1824 and quite possibly grew them as early as 1781. Tomatoes were not as popular in Jefferson's time and were often believed to be poisonous because of their membership in the Nightshade plant family.
He would organize races for the kids on the enormous lawn of Monticello. He also taught them how to play chess and a game called Goose, one of the first board games in the United States; it's a bit like today's game of Chutes and Ladders. 8. He loved to play.
Fun Facts. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, in1943 to honor the Founding Father who authored the Declaration of Independence. His favorite color is yellow.
How long did Thomas Jefferson sleep?
Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson is also considered a polyphasic sleeper, only sleeping 2 hours a day.
When did Jefferson free his slaves?
Unlike some of his planter contemporaries, such as Robert Carter III, who freed nearly 500 people held slaves in his lifetime, or George Washington, who freed all the enslaved people he legally owned, in his will of 1799, Jefferson formally freed only two people during his life, in 1793 and 1794.

Стеван М. Радовановић (Београд, 8/21. фебруар 1879 — Сиднеј, 15. октобар 1960) био је српски и југословенски официр и војни публициста, дивизијски генерал Југословенске војске реактивиран током Априлског рата, командант жандармерије под командом Владе народног спаса, потом први командант Српске државне страже, а од октобра 1944. године и командант Српског ударног корпуса Југословенске војске у Отаџбини.

Биографија

Образовање и рана каријера
Стеван Радовановић је рођен 21. фебруара 1879. године у Београду, као син кафеџије Миленка Радовановића и мајке Драгиње Илић из Новог Сада. Завршио је 29. класу Ниже школе Војне академије у Београду 1899. године и распоређен у Први пешадијски пук. Потом је 1905. године завршио и 13. класу Више школе Војне академије у Београду. Боравио је у Лијежу као члан државне Комисије за пријем пешадијске муниције од 1908. до 1910. године.

Ратови за ослобођење и уједињење

Учествовао је у Првом балканском рату 1912. године и унапређен је у чин мајора. У Другом балканском рату 1913. године је био командант првог батаљона Трећег прекобројног пука и заступник команданта Јаворске бригаде. Први светски рат је провео на разним дужностима, између осталих команданта центра за обуку митраљезима у Зејтинлику, команданта Прилепског одреда и команданта Шестог пешадијског пука при пробоју Солунског фронта. Лакше је рањен 1. октобра 1915. године у великој непријатељској офанзиви на Краљевину Србију.

Међуратни период
У међуратном периоду је обављао бројне дужности - команданта 30. пешадијског пука (1919) и 26. пешадијског пука (1919—1922), Косовске пешадијске бригаде (1922—1923), помоћника команданта Вардарске дивизијске области (1923—1925), команданта места у Загребу (1925-1928), помоћника команданта Јадранске дивизијске области (1928—1929), помоћника команданта Врбаске дивизијске области (1929), команданта Брегалничке дивизијске области (1929—1932) и команданта Шумадијске дивизијске области (1932—1933). Пензионисан је 11. маја 1933. године у чину дивизијског генерала.

Други светски рат
Генерал Радовановић је реактивиран пред Априлски рат 1941. године, како би преузео команду над позадином Шесте армије Југословенске војске.

По формирању Владе народног спаса на челу са генералом Миланом Недићем, генерал Радовановић је 6. септембра 1941. године постављен за команданта жандармерије, где је наследио пуковника Јована Тришића, који је тада именован за његовог помоћника. Генерал Радовановић је одмах покренуо акције против комуниста, односно партизана.

Када је марта 1942. године у Београд дошао СС генерал Аугуст Мајснер, дотадашња жандармерија је прерасла у Српску државну стражу, а генерал Радовановић је постао њен командант. На месту команданта СДС-а је остао до 7. јуна 1942. године, да би га заменио пуковник Боривоје Јонић (брат Велибора Јонића). Радовановић је пензионисан 13. јуна. Мада је у образложењу као разлог за пензионисање наведено нарушено здравље, генерал Недић је на саслушању након рата изјавио да је смена уследила на изричит немачки захтев. Остао је да сарађује у Гласнику Српске државне страже.

Након уласка Црвене армије на територију окупиране Србије, расформирана је Влада народног спаса. Одлуком генерала Јонића, Српска државна стража је стављена под команду генерала Драгољуба Драже Михаиловића, односно уврштена у састав Југословенске војске у Отаџбини под именом Српски ударни корпус, за чијег команданта је одређен поново реактивирани генерал Радовановић. У јануару 1945. године је распоређен на дужног помоћника команданта корпуса, а за команданта је дошао Јонић. Њих двојица су успели да 5. јануара возом стигну у Славонски Брод и уз помоћ Хермана Нојбахера добију пропуснице за Беч, у који стижу 18. јануара.

Емиграција
Генерал Радовановић је првих неколико месеци у емиграцији боравио на америчкој окупационој зони у Немачкој, одакле је потом пребегао у логор Верде у британској зони. Југословенске комунистичке власти су тражиле његово изручење у два наврата и оно је одобрено, али није извршено услед неуспешног хапшења. Први покушај испоручивања је био 15. фебруара 1946. године, када је пропао покушај хапшења услед обавештења да је Радовановић отпутовао за Минхен. Поново су покушали да га ухапсе 21. фебруара, међутим он тада више није био у логору. Верује се да је преко Белгије отишао у Француску.

Умро је 1960. године у Сиднеју.

Породица
Стеван Радовановић је у браку са Љубицом Нушић имао Војислава (рођен 5. фебруара 1916), Драгослава (3. октобар 1920) и Олгу (7. фебруар 1914).

Toward Managed Peace
The National Security Interests of the United States, 1759 to the Present
Eugene V. Rostow
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, can the security of the United States be protected by reducing its involvement in international affairs? In this authoritative book, one of the world's leading political analysts and policy makers offers an emphatic and Wilsonian "No." Basing his argument on a lively review of the diplomatic experience of the United States and of the prospects for world politics, Eugene V. Rostow contends that the most vital security interest of the nation is in the effective functioning of the state system as a system of peace. To achieve this goal, the state system must be based on a favorable balance of power, and it must be managed by the major powers, or a decisive number of them, in accordance with the United Nations Charter.
Rostow shows that except for the disastrous interlude between the two world wars, the United States has always played an active role in world affairs, first as a target state under the protection of Great Britain, and later as a leading participant. The lesson of America's international experience, Rostow finds, is that the moral goal of American foreign policy is the achievement and maintenance of peace, not a universal crusade for democracy and human rights. The United States, he says, is an indispensable leader in that effort.
Eugene V. Rostow is Sterling Professor of Law and Public Affairs Emeritus at Yale University. During his distinguished career, he has been Dean of the Yale Law School (1955-65), Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs (1966-69), and Director, U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (1981-83), as well as Visiting Professor at Oxford, Cambridge, the University of Chicago, and the National Defense University, where he is presently Research Professor of Law and Diplomacy, and Adjunct Fellow of the American Enterprise Institute. He is also a Fellow of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
"Eugene Rostow's new book embodies a lifetime of reflection, experience, and advocacy. It presents a rich and challenging view of the main issues for American diplomacy, past and present."—David Calleo, The Johns Hopkins Nitze School of Advanced International Studies
"A cogent analysis of the nature of the international system and the part the United States has played in its development. It says many wise things about how to improve the operation of the system and presents a formidable case against any reduction in America's commitments to that program, which is as essential for the interests of the United States as it is for the management of problems throughout the world."—Sir F. H. Hinsley, former professor of the history of international relations, University of Cambridge
"Toward Managed Peace includes a brilliant review of the evolution of U.S. foreign policy with particular emphasis upon the rule of law. It is important reading for all those interested in U.S. policy formulation for the future."—The Honorable Paul H. Nitze, former Arms Control Negotiator
"This superb short diplomatic history of the United States provides valuable insights into how the United States ought to deal with major world problems."—Robert F. Turner, University of Virginia
"This powerful analysis will engage the attention of academics and practitioners of a variety of persuasions."—Margaret Blunden, American Politics Review
"In the first of three planned volumes dealing with the U.S. and the international system, Rostow lays out his notions of the proper role for the nation in foreign affairs and then devotes the bulk of his book to a survey of American diplomatic history from the Revolution to the end of the Cold War. . . . written in a lively and forceful style."—Choice
"Perhaps the most valuable contribution of this book lies in the author's historical explication of the growth of American self-interest. . . . This is a marvelously stimulating book, filled with telling quotations and epigrammatic statements, rich in practical wisdom and the lore of statecraft."—Patrick Glynn, Commentary
"Rostow's book is well-informed about the history of U.S. foreign policy, sensitive to the environment of U.S. strategy making, and readable by the intelligent laity as well as academics or foreign policy and strategy professionals."—Stephen J. Cimbala, Journal of Politics
"A pithy yet accessible history of how the U.S. has interacted with other nations, with advice for the future. Former arms-negotiator and undersecretary of state Rostow speaks to both the past and current realities of diplomacy."—Kirkus Reviews
"Comprehensive and penetrating. . . . Toward Managed Peace is an important contribution to the literature on American diplomatic history. The scope and depth of this book are impressive. . . . Our policymakers would be wise to heed the advice found in this intellectually stimulating and engaging book."—Richard J. Payne, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"There is many an interesting historical observation and nugget in this book, and many a polished turn of phrase. Without reducing present concerns to some unchanging historical pattern, [Rostow] is right to set the apparently bewildering problems of the post-Cold War world in some longer-term framework, both to show how all that appears to be new is not so new at all and to bring to the surface political and moral questions that others, both sensible and crazed, have been discussing for the odd century."—Fred Halliday, Washington Post Book World

Micropixie's "Como Mínimo" Video
San Francisco's Micropixie creates spacey warm sounds with a sixties French psych pop feel. It's a multilingual, multi-genre listening experience addressing social norms, masculinity, and gender and cultural identity. The video for "Como Mínimo" is a captivating and thought-provoking viewing experience that we recommend. Singles have been sprinkling out of upcoming album Dark Sight of the Moon and we're bracing ourselves for the full release this week. Out the third of May. - Michelle Kicherer, Associate Editor

The sweet, slacker pop of Isador Kaufman
Isador Kaufman's debut EP, Scattered Efforts, is a "collection of songs about happy and sad." It's his first solo album after his former band, Watergate Sandals, disbanded in 2017. "I was in a bit of a creative rut for a while there," Kaufman says, and is grateful to have re-found the creative energies to make Scattered Efforts. Some tracks have a bit of a Mac Demarco thing while others have a sometimes spacey, sometimes beachy psych rock feel. The simple description of "Pop" does not do this work justice. It's an honest and raw collection, written, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Kaufman himself. He recorded and mixed on Pro Tools then mastered songs on an old Foster 4 track cassette player he bought off Craigslist. As a first effort at production, we're impressed. We're also impressed that he decided to donate 100% of the proceeds from EP sales to Planned Parenthood. Stay tuned for tour dates and his second album, which is in the works as we speak. Like we say, stay tuned. - Michelle Kicherer, Associate Editor

Billie Gale's "Inner Circle" is relaxing dream pop with warm jam guitars and echoing, atmospheric synth. Front woman Beth Garber has hidden twang behind those haunting vocals.

Meernaa's tour with John Vanderslice
Meernaa, the "beautiful, freaky dream" of Oakland's own Carly Bond, is a fuckin beautiful freaky listening experience. Tiny Telephone production quality is full-on apparent: that room-encompassing, take-me-away-Calgon feeling is a pleasure. Last year's EP, Strange Life, features an all-star collection of supporting musicians, with tracks ranging from bluesy synth rock to R&B post-rock and a vocal range that repeatedly surprises. Tracks like "Good Luck" are like if Bonnie Raitt, Angel Olson, Sharon Van Etten and that scene in the snow globe from the Labyrinth all got together and created an experience of a song. Meernaa is on tour with Mr. Vanderslice as we speak. See them at The Rickshaw Stop on April 28 to experience Meernaa's newest work and to hear John Vanderslice's new album, The Cedars. - Michelle Kicherer, Associate Editor

Naytronix Releases "Come Back" off new LP
Nate Brenner, aka Naytronix, just released the single "Come Back" off his forthcoming album, Air, and it's a fantastically mixed, warm and pleasing jam that pushes the limits of psych pop. The percussive backbone is blessed with drummer Hamir Atwal's hard-to-mimic snappy jazz touch. The album features some other Oakland favorites, including Madeline Kenney and Tune-Yards' Merrill Garbus. After his work scoring Sorry to Bother You, we're not surprised. "Come Back" is a killer teaser and we can't wait for the full album, out June 7th on Botcave records. - Michelle Kicherer, Associate Editor

Victoria's New Coronavirus Cases Drop Below 50
By Kieran Simpson
Victoria's new Coronavirus cases have dropped to 41. This is the lowest daily total since June.
There have been 9 further lives lost – eight of those are linked to aged care.
Over 12,000 tests were recorded which came from Victorians who presented themselves for testing over the weekend.
Premier Daniel Andrews clarified information about the 'social bubble' for people who are living alone, which essentially allows them to have the benefits of the intimate partners arrangement.
"A single person will be able to have another individual to their home…so long as they are the only adult living there," Andrews said.
"The curfew does apply, but the 5 km limit does not."
Andrews also confirmed that skate parks will not be reopening until the third step which commences on October 26. Outdoor gym equipment will be accessible on September 14.

Teofil Bromboszcz (ur. 25 kwietnia 1886 w Ligocie, zm. 12 stycznia 1937 w Katowicach) – polski biskup rzymskokatolicki, biblista, działacz plebiscytowy i patriotyczny, biskup pomocniczy katowicki w latach 1934–1937, organizator struktur diecezji katowickiej.

Życiorys

Pochodzenie i początki kapłaństwa
Urodził się jako dziewiąte z dziesięciorga dzieci chałupnika Michała oraz Franciszki ze Zdziarków. Po ukończeniu w 1889 dwuklasowej szkoły powszechnej w Ligocie kształcił się w gimnazjum klasycznym w Pszczynie, a następnie w Gliwicach. Maturę uzyskał w 1908.

Formację filozoficzno-teologiczną odbył na Wydziale Teologicznym Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego. Podczas studiów działał w tajnych stowarzyszeniach młodzieży polskiej. Święcenia diakonatu otrzymał 23 marca 1912, a święcenia kapłańskie 22 czerwca 1912 we Wrocławiu z rąk kardynała Georga Koppa.

29 sierpnia 1912 został skierowany do parafii św. Jana Chrzciciela w Szczecinie, w charakterze duszpasterza katolickiej diaspory wyznaniowej. Wysyłanie księży o propolskich przekonaniach narodowych do odległych parafii należało w tym czasie do działań systematycznie praktykowanych w archidiecezji wrocławskiej. 1 października 1914 otrzymał roczny urlop naukowy w celu odbycia studiów specjalistycznych w zakresie teologii biblijnej Nowego Testamentu w Papieskim Instytucie Biblijnym, jednak nie podjął ich. Równocześnie zgłosił się do posługi kapelana wojskowego w armii niemieckiej pod zwierzchnictwo biskupa polowego Heinricha Joeppena. 13 października 1914 otrzymał z wrocławskiej kurii biskupiej pisemną naganę za samowolne opuszczenie parafii oraz zgodę na służbę w wojsku. Sprawując opiekę nad żołnierzami polskimi, służył na froncie belgijskim, francuskim oraz bałkańskim, za co otrzymał Żelazny Krzyż I klasy.

Od 1917 był proboszczem garnizonu w Toruniu. 29 czerwca 1918 uzyskał doktorat na podstawie napisanej w języku niemieckim pracy Jedność Ewangelii Świętego Jana. 15 września tego roku ukończył kurs pedagogiczny w seminarium nauczycielskim w Toruniu, a 16 października złożył egzamin proboszczowski we Wrocławiu.

Po I wojnie światowej – działalność plebiscytowa
23 stycznia 1919 otrzymał zwolnienie z wojska. 31 stycznia tego roku kardynał Adolf Bertram mianował go redaktorem "Posłańca Niedzielnego" (tygodnika diecezjalnego dla parafian polskich), a 1 marca wikariuszem parafii katedralnej św. Jana Chrzciciela we Wrocławiu. Sprawował opiekę duszpasterską nad Polakami mieszkającymi we Wrocławiu, dla których założył Towarzystwo Kościelne Polaków Katolików pod wezwaniem bł. Czesława.

Zaangażował się w sprawę organizacji plebiscytu na Górnym Śląsku i zyskał przychylność komisarza rządu polskiego dla sprawy plebiscytu Wojciecha Korfantego. Współpracował z Polską Radą Ludową oraz Polskim Towarzystwem Gimnastycznym "Sokół" we Wrocławiu. Ze względu na działalność narodowościową odrzucił, złożoną mu 16 czerwca 1920 przez Wydział Teologiczny Uniwersytetu Stefana Batorego w Wilnie, propozycję objęcia profesury i wykładów z Nowego Testamentu. Był inwigilowany i denuncjowany przez niemieckie służby wywiadowcze, wskutek czego utracił stanowisko redaktora "Posłańca Niedzielnego". We wrześniu 1920 opuścił Wrocław i osiadł tymczasowo w Mikołowie, skąd poprosił kurię wrocławską o udzielenie mu urlopu.

2 października 1920 został administratorem parafii św. Michała Archanioła w Ornontowicach, a 28 sierpnia 1922 proboszczem tej parafii. Zreorganizował na jej terenie życie parafialne, dokonał remontu kościoła, przeprowadził budowę klasztoru Sióstr Służebniczek oraz stworzył warunki do zamieszkania dla nauczycieli przybyłych spoza Śląska. Był inicjatorem usypania Kopca Wolności, przy którym następnie odbywały się uroczystości patriotyczne (zniszczono go w trakcie II wojny światowej).

Uczestniczył w przygotowaniach wiernych parafii górnośląskich do plebiscytu. Organizował w powiecie pszczyńskim polskie rady ludowe oraz wycieczki młodzieży do Krakowa. Po rozstrzygnięciu plebiscytu pozostał rzecznikiem sprawy polskiej. Z jego inicjatywy sprowadzono na Śląsk Związek Obrony Kresów Zachodnich, którego prezesem następnie go wybrano. Był okręgowym opiekunem Związku Powstańców Śląskich. 1 sierpnia 1923 odsłonił pomnik powstańców śląskich w Orzeszu, którego poświęcenia odmówił miejscowy proboszcz. Wiosną 1921 zapadł na chorobę płuc, z którą zmagał się przez resztę życia.

W Administracji Apostolskiej Śląska Polskiego i diecezji katowickiej
Po utworzeniu 7 listopada 1922 Administracji Apostolskiej Śląska Polskiego włączył się w budowę jej struktur organizacyjnych. 1 lutego 1923 otrzymał od administratora apostolskiego Augusta Hlonda nominację na egzaminatora prosynodalnego, 28 lutego tego roku na cenzora książek, a 29 października na członka Komisji Czystości Wiary. 12 września 1923 został powołany na stanowisko wikariusza generalnego Administracji.

Po utworzeniu 11 listopada 1925 diecezji katowickiej zajął się koordynowaniem spraw finansowych diecezji oraz otrzymał nominację na konsulatora diecezjalnego. 15 czerwca 1926 został kanonikiem Kapituły Katedralnej w Katowicach. 21 października 1926 papież Pius XI mianował go prałatem. Po tym jak pierwszy biskup katowicki August Hlond ustanowiony został arcybiskupem metropolitą gnieźnieńskim i poznańskim oraz prymasem Polski, Bromboszcz sprawował w okresie od 5 do 30 października 1926 urząd wikariusza kapitulnego diecezji katowickiej. W tym czasie Związek Niemieckich Katolików w Polsce zgłosił w Stolicy Apostolskiej protest przeciw ewentualnemu powołaniu go na biskupstwo katowickie. Powodem sprzeciwu było jego zaangażowanie w sprawę plebiscytu oraz stawiane mu zarzuty deprecjonowania proniemiecko zorientowanych kapłanów przy mianowaniu duszpasterzy mniejszości niemieckiej.

Jako wikariusz generalny diecezji odpowiedzialny był za podjęcie szeregu przedsięwzięć. Zakupił grunt pod budowę katowickiej katedry oraz majątek Kokoszyce z przeznaczeniem na utworzenie ośrodka rekolekcyjnego, był także pomysłodawcą i współzałożycielem Księgarni i Drukarni Katolickiej. Odpowiadał za budowę gmachu Śląskiego Seminarium Duchownego w Krakowie. W Tarnowskich Górach współzałożył konwikt biskupi dla młodzieży szkół średnich pochodzącej z odległych miejscowości.

1 lipca 1927 biskup diecezjalny katowicki Arkadiusz Lisiecki odwołał go z funkcji wikariusza generalnego.

Proboszcz mysłowicki
1 czerwca 1927 został proboszczem parafii Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Mysłowicach. Przeprowadził remont trzech należących do parafii kościołów, zakupił dzwony dla kościoła Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa, przyczynił się do kupna starej synagogi i przeznaczenia jej na Katolicki Dom Ludowy oraz utworzył sierociniec, który oddał pod opieką salezjanów. Był katechetą w Szkole Górniczej (w latach 1929–1930) oraz opiekunem emigrantów wyjeżdżających na Zachód za pośrednictwem mysłowickiej stacji emigracyjnej.

4 stycznia 1933 został podniesiony do godności kanonika teologa Kapituły Katedralnej. Podjął pracę nad opracowaniem katechizmu dla diecezji katowickiej oraz podręcznika historii biblijnej. 12 stycznia 1934 biskup diecezjalny katowicki Stanisław Adamski mianował go asystentem kościelnym Diecezjalnego Instytutu Akcji Katolickiej. W tym okresie stan jego zdrowia ulegał stopniowemu pogorszeniu.

Biskup pomocniczy katowicki
24 marca 1934 papież Pius XI mianował go biskupem pomocniczym diecezji katowickiej (wedle ówczesnego nazewnictwa biskupem sufraganem) oraz biskupem tytularnym Kandyby (w Azji Mniejszej). Sakrę biskupią otrzymał 3 czerwca 1934 z rąk bpa Stanisława Adamskiego przy współudziale biskupa polowego Józefa Gawliny oraz biskupa diecezjalnego częstochowskiego Teodora Kubiny w kościele parafialnym Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Mysłowicach, gdzie jako biskup pozostał nadal także proboszczem. W herbie biskupim umieścił głowę św. Jana Chrzciciela, znajdującą się również w herbie Mysłowic.

14 kwietnia 1934 otrzymał funkcję delegata biskupiego dla Związku Caritas. 30 grudnia 1934 został prepozytem Kapituły Katedralnej. 1 stycznia 1935 podjął ponownie zadania wikariusza generalnego diecezji katowickiej. W związku z ciężką chorobą biskupa Adamskiego w okresie od marca do lipca 1935 samodzielnie zarządzał diecezją. 30 stycznia 1936 zrezygnował z kierowania parafią mysłowicką, gdzie jego następcą został ksiądz Józef Matuszek. Wtedy też przeprowadził się z probostwa mysłowickiego do nowego gmachu kurii biskupiej w Katowicach. Od końca 1935 zmagał się z białaczką, utrzymując jednak ciągle aktywność duszpasterską.

Czynnie wspierał pracę Akcji Katolickiej oraz Sodalicji Mariańskiej. W okresie wielkiego kryzysu gospodarczego przeznaczał fundusze zebrane na budowę katedry na cele charytatywne. Poświęcił kościół Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Murckach (28 października 1934), konsekrował kościoły św. Antoniego w Dąbrówce Małej (4 listopada 1934) oraz św. Michała Archanioła w Goleszowie (12 maja 1935). Udzielił święceń kapłańskich przyszłym biskupom Wilhelmowi Plucie (24 czerwca 1934) i Pawłowi Latuskowi (30 czerwca 1935).

Zmarł w wyniku choroby nowotworowej 12 stycznia 1937. Jego pogrzeb odbył się 15 stycznia 1937 w prokatedrze św. Apostołów Piotra i Pawła w Katowicach. Tam także został pochowany. Po jego śmierci do kurii biskupiej w Katowicach napłynęło 157 telegramów kondolencyjnych.

W homilii pogrzebowej biskup Gawlina powiedział o biskupie sufraganie Teofilu Bromboszczu:

Upamiętnienie
Od 2010 roku nazwę Ks. bpa Teofila Bromboszcza nosi ulica w katowickiej dzielnicy Ligota-Panewniki.

Das Koppelungsverbot ist ein Begriff aus dem Vertragsrecht, der besagt, dass in bestimmten Rechtsbereichen, insbesondere im Verwaltungsrecht, eine Verbindung zweier Vertragsleistungen (Kopplungsvertrag) zum Schutze einer Vertragspartei oder der Allgemeinheit gesetzlich untersagt ist.

Relevant sind Koppelungsverbote ferner z. B. im Bereich der Bauvergabe (Architektenrecht), im öffentlich-rechtlichen Datenschutz, im Wettbewerbsrecht, im Internetrecht  sowie bei so genannten Gewinnspielen.

Verwaltungsrecht
Bei öffentlich-rechtlichen Verträgen müssen die Gegenleistungen des Vertragspartners im Zusammenhang mit der Leistung der Behörde stehen.

Ein "Verkauf von Hoheitsrechten" durch die Verwaltung soll damit ausgeschlossen werden. Verträge, die gegen das Koppelungsverbot verstoßen, sind nichtig.

Facebook.com/EminemJust one week after he debuted his new song "Rap God," Eminem has announced dates of a four-city stadium outing, dubbed the Rapture Tour, beginning next year in New Zealand and Australia.
According to organizers, Slim Shady has recruited Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, 360 and New Zealand's David Dallas to join him when the tour kicks off in Auckland on February 15, which will mark Em's first time performing in New Zealand. The rappers will also travel to Melbourne and Brisbane, before concluding in Sydney on February 22.
Tickets, which range from $95 to $290, will be available starting October 31, while pre-sale kicks off October 24.
The upcoming outing will support Eminem's highly anticipated album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which includes the Rick Rubin-produced single "Berzerk," arriving in stores November 5.


Black Scarf has the scale and impact of a billboard, but nevertheless offers a tender and intimate portrait of Alex Katz's wife, Ada. The image both acknowledges and stylizes the effects of aging on her reserved, fine-boned beauty. A breeze catches a lock of gray hair. Ada looks over her shoulder as though her attention had been distracted by something behind her, while her body turns in the opposite direction, as if moving forward. The image is like a film still that conveys the past, present, and future in one frame, and perhaps Katz was thinking of this convergence of time when he said that this was the "last great portrait" of Ada. Behind it lie the hundreds of images he had made of her since the 1950s as well as the history of their lives together.


Low-profile tilted through-hull 600W 50/200kHz fishfinder transducer.
The SS60 is a standard 50/200kHz transducer available with a tilt of either zero, 12 or 20 deg. This is a stainless version of the B60.
This transducer uses the Mix and Match system. Installation requires two parts - a base model plus one of the Mix and Match 600W cables (MM) listed below.
Each base model has a 2 meter pigtail cable permanently attached. This cable ends in an Airmar 5-pin female connector. The Mix and Match cables are 9 meters long and have a male Airmar 5-pin connector at one end (to connect to the transducer pigtail) and a brand-specific connector at the other end (to connect to the sounder or fishfinder). If an owner changes their fishfinder or sounder, a different MM cable can be installed without disturbing the transducer itself.
Gemeco sells kits containing a base model and a Mix and Match cable. For example, the SS60-8G kit contains a base transducer and an MM-8G cable.

On the second floor of Jupiter's first school "in town," near today's Town Hall Avenue, residents voted for incorporation in 1925. After serving briefly as Town Hall, in 1927 the building was determined to be unsafe; a new schoolhouse was built on Loxahatchee Drive, which was recently restored and is still in use as Jupiter Elementary School. Also known as "Old Jupiter School," the Mediterranean Revival building served about 100 white students' grades 1-12 when it opened and was Jupiter's main school for 37 years.
The old basic building, kind of U-shaped, … had about six classrooms as I recall, eight grades. The first six grades of school had two classes in a room, so the first and second grade were together, the 3rd and 4th were together, the 5th and 6th were together, with one teacher. So it somewhat resembled the old-fashioned one-story schoolhouse. Not many kids went to school there, probably about a dozen—15 in my class, which was the largest that had ever gone through school there.
[It] bothered me a bit, that I was one of the two or three kids in my class, I guess, that had shoes. I used to put my shoes in the bushes half way to school and go barefooted myself, and that worked okay, except on those days that it rained, and they got all wet, and my mother knew I'd been up to something.
Lake Worth High School was dedicated in 1922; the first graduating class in 1923 consisted of seven girls.

With the final stages of the European leagues approaching and the 'business end' of cup competitions both nationally and across Europe with the Champions League & Europa League, Adidas have launched the Virtuso Pack to their collection to help light it up!
With a clean & fresh look to the primarily white boots, the Adidas Predator, COPA, Nemiziz & X boots all join in on the Virtuso look. These boots look really smart and simplistic, something we're all about here at FBR.
White boots can sometimes be a little 'dull', but these boots are anything but with the pops of colour reminding us of the Nike 'just do it' pack from 2018 – boots we like so much that we bought some!
