Golf Tournament Benefits Local Boys & Girls Club Of The Colorado River
Bullhead City | Economy | Education | Events
MOHAVE VALLEY–A golf tournament held last month collected $12,000 for the local chapters of the Boys & Girls Club of the Colorado River.
The annual 7th & Final Driesen Memorial Golf Tournament was held on September 29 at El Rio Golf Club in Mohave Valley. The tournament was founded by Al Driesen to honor his son, Jeff Driesen, after he was killed in an automobile accident in 2011.
However, in 2016, Al Driesen sadly passed away. Driesen's wife, Kathleen, and daughter, Kimmie, now head the tournament in honor of both Driesen men.
"This gift will allow Jeff and Al's love of golf to pass to the next generation of golfers, truly creating a Driesen LEGACY" said Kirk Barton president of the Boys & Girls Club's Board of Directors.
But the question remained on what to do with Jeff and Al's golf clubs. After much debate, the decision was made to donate the clubs to the club river, who would than select two young golfers to be the recipient of the clubs. A donation of lessons was donated by JC Bacon of Los Lagos Golf Course.
"We are so appreciative for the donations and support from the Driesen Memorial golf tournament. The Driesen family has truly created BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL FUTURES for hundreds of young children through their generosity." said Autumn Boyle-Robinson, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Colorado River. A special thank you to Kirk Barton, James Stovall, Paul Pryor, and Bill O'Connell for their generous contributions.
"We want to give a huge thank you to JJ DeLeon the General Manager of El Rio Country Club, and Jeff Gift of River Rock Printing and Promotions for your hard work and dedication and for making this such a momentous day," said Kathleen and Kimmie Driesen. "Thank you to special guest Cali Tucker-Singer/Entertainer who sang her heart out and truly entertained everyone"
The Driesen's expressed their sincere appreciation for everyone who participated, donated or volunteered over the years. Both women also hinted that with help they would be open to the idea of turning this tournament into broader memorial tournament to honor many of the loved ones who have been lost.

This simple mantra saves me at the start of a race from self-sabotage. After waiting anxiously for the start it's easy to want to chase the guy who flies past me or to keep up with the girl I was eyeing before the gun went off. But I know I can't hang on to that pace because it's not what I trained for and by mile 3 I will be done. So I repeat in my head, "run your own race", and settle in to a good pace for me and challenge myself to do better than before.
The thing I love about this quote is that it holds true for so much more than running. Wherever you are in your fitness, there will be someone ahead of you. Worrying about keeping up with someone else does nothing for you and often causes blindness to your own victories. When you make yourself your competition you can fully focus on your progress and see the gains you've made instead of giving into the, "I'll never be where they are" doubts.
When you get down on yourself by fixating on someone who passes you on your run, does more pushups than you in bootcamp or holds Crow Pose long past when you opted for Child's Pose; you don't know what you're even comparing yourself to. Maybe the girl doing 7 minute miles is training for a 5K and this is her speed interval. Maybe the pushup queen has never attempted near the number of burpees you can crank out. And, let's be honest, Child's Pose is the best. My point is, if you stop focusing on their race and put that energy into your race you'll start seeing your progress for what it is. Yeah, she did 20 pushups and you did 15, but last week you did 12 so in the end you won.
Often we get caught up in where we want to be and forget how far we've come. By tracking even the most basic stats (how many miles you ran that week, how many pushups you can do, how many times you made it to the gym) you'll start to see how your big picture has changed. What once was an accomplishment – going to the gym 3 days a week – may now be so routine you don't realize it!
Enjoy this race and be proud of your pace!

Solar farm approved in Pulaski County
By Carly Miller
Published: Aug. 25, 2020 at 12:14 AM EDT
WINAMAC, Ind. (WNDU) - A solar farm in Pulaski County has been approved by the County Board of Zoning Appeals.
16 News Now was at the meeting Monday to see how the board reached this decision.
Another large crowd showed up to the Pulaski County Highway Garage Monday to hear the decision on a major solar project.
"I'm hopeful for a favorable outcome for this project because I do believe in the mix of renewable energy,' Executive Director of Hoosiers for Renewables Steve Eberly said.
The result? The county board of zoning appeals voted in favor of the 4500 acre project.
At the last meeting, a decision was delayed to seek more information surrounding four topics.
"I was very pleased that the BZA members decided to table the decision until tonight," affected land owner Connie Ehrlich said.
Those four topics were the focus of tonight's meeting and included solar panel end-of-life management, environmental impact of the project, agricultural and residential property values, and health and safety of the solar installation.
Mammoth Solar, the company behind the project, brought in experts to speak on these topics.
As has been the case with this proposal, people in favor and against the project were at the meeting to express their opinion.
"It excites me to continue the dialogue and educate people about how this is important for Indiana and how it is vital for our rural communities," Eberly said.
"We just have a lot of issues. We have a lot of questions about health and safety of our residents, and also preserving the land. This is productive agricultural land now, and our concern is that it will never be returned to agricultural use again," Ehrlich said.
But ultimately, the solar farm project will move forward.
Now that a favorable decision has been made, 16 News Now will continue to follow the project's progress as it develops in Pulaski County.

Who Is Jimmy Garoppolo's Girlfriend? Inside the San Francisco 49ers Quarterback's Dating Life
By Samantha Faragalli Younghans
Jimmy Garoppolo isn't just the star quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers (one of the teams heading to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 2), he's also really, really handsome. That said, it's not much of a surprise that fans are curious to know about the hunky professional athlete's personal life. Specifically, people are curious if Jimmy has a girlfriend! That said, we dug into his current love life and dating history.
Does Jimmy Garoppolo have a girlfriend?
It's hard to tell from Jimmy's Instagram whether or not he has a girlfriend since all it is football and family photos. If he does, the 28-year-old is very good at keeping it super private and doesn't mind keeping his fans guessing. Also, a relationship certainly is not distracting him, as his team, the San Francisco 49ers had quite the memorable 2019 season and is heading to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 2.
Happy belated Birthday to the one and only OG #TonyG #Pops
A post shared by Jimmy Garoppolo (@jimmypolo10) on Dec 5, 2018 at 12:07pm PST
In a previous sit-down, Jimmy actually revealed that he does not like flaunting his personal life, and enjoys being private. "I've never been very big on being really public with things — even social media," he explained to SF Gate. "I'm not out there a ton. But my life is looked at differently. I'm under a microscope. It's like [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] said: 'It is a good learning experience. I just have to take it in stride.'"
But even though he's allegedly single right now, there have been some speculations about Jimmy's love life in the past (which is probably why he's decided to keep it on the hush-hush now.
At one point, he was associated with model Alexandra King after being spotted with her in Disneyland. But when he tore his ACL in what ended up being a 2018 season-ending injury, she took to Instagram to throw shade at the NFL star by writing the word "karma" on the social media platform. Ouch...
He's also been linked to porn star Kiara Mia. She was even blamed by the public for being bad luck for him since he was injured after being seen with her.
"I'm impressed that people look at me as a God," Kiara told TMZ of how she was flattered that people thought she was that powerful. "Like, only God has the power to, like, control someone's journey in life. So, I'm flattered people think I have that much power in my life to control somebody's life!"
While Jimmy has chosen to keep his romantic life private, not everyone in the NFL has followed suit. Specifically, his rival quarterback for Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, is all over Instagram with his love, Brittany Matthews. Not only does he post with or about her every chance he gets, but she returns the favor by gushing over him on her account as well.
We can't blame Jimmy for wanting a private love life, but if he needs a girlfriend and someone to cheer him on at his games, we're available...

Summer is winding down here in Baltimore. In addition to cooler weather and pumpkin everything, autumn also means tons of food festivals and events. This week, local restaurants kick off the season with some fun dinners and fundraisers.
Milk & Honey, the café and market formerly located in Mount Vernon, has plans in the works to open two new locations: one in Station North and one in Pigtown.

Though summer doesn't officially end until later in September, this weekend marks the unofficial end of the season, offering a reason to raise a glass to say goodbye to warm weather and lazy days.
On Saturday, Union Craft Brewing hosts its annual Fiesta Del Sol. This year's party, happening in the brewery's new digs, will include food from Clavel and ice cream from The Charmery. There will be music, specialty beers and baby pools and sprinklers, so bring your suit.
On Thursday, Sept. 6, Chef's Expressions has its sixth annual Summer Soiree. This year's party is at the Baltimore Museum of Industry and features music, cocktails and lots of food. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the museum's Save the Crane campaign.

The Elephant celebrates the start of theater season at Center Stage this Wednesday, Sept. 5, with the kickoff of Culture + Cuisine. All season long, the restaurant will offer four-course menus inspired by Center Stage productions.
On Wednesday, the meal will be linked to the theater's first play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Members of the cast will also be on hand to say hello.
Also on Wednesday, Clavel is getting into the philanthropic spirit with a Taco or Beer Challenge. That day, the restaurant will donate 50 percent of sales from full-price items to the Baltimore Abortion Fund.
On Saturday, Sept. 8, Power Plant Live! gets salty with a big bacon party. Bacon Jam is billed as a festival of bacon, bourbon and music. In addition to local jam bands, the party will include bacon-themed games, bacon dishes and bacon-inspired cocktails, plus bourbon sampling.

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 23, 2016 /CNW/ - The Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario (RPNAO) is delighted to announce that its Chief Executive Officer, Dianne Martin, has been named the 2016 recipient of the Premier's Award for Ontario College Graduates in the category of Health Sciences.
In addition to her 26 years as a bedside nurse, Martin has also spent the past 10 years at the helm of RPNAO, where she advocates tirelessly for excellence in health care and on behalf of the province's 39,000 registered practical nurses. Martin, who is a graduate of the Diploma Nursing program at Georgian College, has established a reputation as a champion of the nursing profession. Much of her work at RPNAO revolves around advocating for collaborative, patient-centred care and helping to remove barriers to the full scope of practice for RPNs and other health care professionals.
"We are very proud of Dianne Martin," says MaryLynn West-Moynes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Georgian College. "She, like all our nominees, past and present, is a shining example of how a college education can be a springboard to incredible life and career success."
"I've gotten to know Dianne quite well over the past number of years. I've seen her up close and in action, representing this wonderful profession," says Max Hamlyn, President of RPNAO. "Ontario's RPNs are extremely fortunate to have a leader with her character and dedication working on their behalf. Under her leadership, our profession has seen excellent progress over the past decade. On behalf of our association, I would like to congratulate Dianne on receiving this prestigious award."
Ontario's RPNs were well-represented at the annual awards gala, as April Plumton, an RPN and board member of RPNAO, was also nominated in the Health Sciences category. Plumton is a Diabetes Nurse Educator and was instrumental in implementing the insulin pump program at the Belleville Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic.
Speaking about this year's award recipients, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said, "Ontario's colleges have produced graduates who have gone on to achieve amazing success in their careers. Many of these graduates have created jobs, made lasting contributions in their communities and helped to attract new investments. The recipients of this year's Premier Awards are examples of our college students' incredible potential."
The 2016 Premier's Awards for Ontario College Graduates were presented on November 21 at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. The awards were created in 1992 to recognize the important social and economic contributions the province's college graduates make in Ontario and beyond.
Founded in 1958, RPNAO is the voice of registered practical nursing in Ontario. There are approximately 39,000 RPNs working in Ontario, playing a vital role in the province's health care system. For more information about RPNAO, its mandate and how RPNs contribute to Ontario's health care system, please visit rpnao.org.


Happy Thanksgiving! This week as we spend time with friends and family we get to watch three football games on Thursday. For those of us that like to play DFS this gives us several options to play contest during this holiday. We are going to focus on the showdown slates on DraftKings.
I started playing these showdown contests this season and they can be really fun. For those who are not familiar with this type of contest, the showdown focus on one marquee game of the day. You then draft a team of 6 players from the single-game player pool using a $50,000 salary cap. The lineup consists of 1 captain spot and 5 flex spots. The captain will score 1.5x the standard fantasy point value for each statistic, but drafting a player as captain will cost more salary. As you can imagine getting the top score will require a unique build. Because the player pool is so limited, it is very common for the top prize to be split among several people with the same player combination.
Rostering the best players are not easy because the salaries are set so that it is difficult to fit all of the studs. Often you will have to seek salary relief by rostering tight ends, kickers and defenses. Sometimes using a player who sees a small amount of value can open up a ton of salary. If that player has a big game, you find yourself at an advantage over the field. For instance back in Week 5 when the Saints played the Redskins on Monday night. I rostered wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith of the Saints in the captain spot. He was near minimum salary and was a good play because he was expected to fill in for Ted Ginn Jr. who was injured. Rostering Smith allowed me to add a number of players into my lineup. It was a big risk verse reward play because Smith had just 1 catch for 18 yards on 4 targets the previous 4 games combined. He ended up with 3 targets which were good for 3 receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Using players that are near minimum salary isn't a key building strategy as most nights these players are non-factors.
All the games today are division rival games so they should all be competitive. However, this first one carries a ton of injuries. For the Bears, Mitchell Trubisky is unlikely to play as he's dealing with a shoulder injury. The Bears will likely start Chase Daniel who owns a career 6.2 yards per attempt and 65.4 percent completion rate since coming into the league in 2010. On the Lions side, they are banged up from both sides of the ball. Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones Jr. have already been ruled out. Bruce Ellington who filled in last week is questionable. On the defensive side Darius Slay is questionable with a knee injury. He would be the one covering Allen Robinson if he plays. Damon Harrison is also questionable who is a good run stopper.
There are several ways to build this lineup. You could bank on the Bears defense as your captain. These teams just played 2 weeks ago where the Bears won 34-22. In that game the Bears defense scored 12 DK points. You could see them getting a few more today with Johnson and Jones jr. out of this game.
If you look back at which players did well in that matchup, Mitchell Trubisky was the top scorer with 39 DK points. He connected with Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller for 3 touchdowns combined. Jordan Howard and Taylor Gabriel were non-factors in that game. On the Lions side Kerryon Johnson and Kenny Golladay lead the team.
With Trubisky out, Kenny Golladay becomes the most expensive player in this game at $15,900 for the captain spot and $10,600 in the flex. The Lions are going to need to lean on him and Theo Riddick heavily so those are the Lions I want to use. On the Bears side I think it makes sense to use Allen Robinson and Tarik Cohen though rostering all 4 will be tough if you use Golladay at captain.

With love, respect, acceptance, says pope, the "dark shadow" of euthanasia disappears
ServizioFotograficoOR - CPP
January 05, 2018 : Pope Francis visits the children's hospital Bambin Gesù of Palidoro, Rome.
Caregivers can't do the impossible, says Francis, but they can work the "miracle" of realizing that patients are brothers and sisters
When a sick person feels loved, the desire for euthanasia "disappears," said Pope Francis on October 1, 2018, while receiving in audience at the Vatican participants in a congress on health ethics.
Caregivers, acknowledged the Successor of Peter, can not always do the impossible. But they can accomplish a "miracle": that of "finding a brother in the sick person, in the helpless person before us," and recognizing "the immense value of his dignity as a human being, as a child of God."
This awareness must be at the heart of any health system, the pontiff stated. Thus, despite the economic crisis, the basis of any health organization can only be the "search for the good."
This is all the more necessary because there is a "strong tendency" in the world to legalize euthanasia, the pope lamented. Faced with this, we need to offer "serene and participative" support, he pleaded.
Houston hospital and Vatican council join in opposing euthanasia
"If the person [in palliative care] feels loved, respected, and accepted, the dark shadow of euthanasia disappears or becomes nearly non-existent, because the value of a person's being is measured by their capacity to give and receive love, not by their productivity," the pope clarified.
The work of the caregiver, continued the Bishop of Rome, is not limited to restoring the health of the patient. It is actually "to attend to, to be concerned about, to take care of, and to take responsibility for the other, who is your brother."
This requires "responsibility and loyalty" to the patient and not a "bureaucratization" of care. In addition, said the pope, it's necessary to respect the patient's autonomy.
Active euthanasia—the administration of a lethal substance to a person to cause death—is legal in five countries. Assisted suicide is allowed in three countries and in some US states.

Water in general is considered as a low risk, low involvement product. Despite the fact of being an ?ever-since existing' product and fulfilling the primary need of survival, people's awareness of the importance of drinking water is a rather recent development. This has brought up various producers on the market, as previously people consumed more gratis tap water instead of bottled water. To avoid head-on-head competition and to make their product more distinct from competitors, marketers apply several marketing techniques, to project specific images which will appeal most to their selected consumer target. Lucozade Sport has been the UK's favourite sports drink, since its launch in 1990, sponsoring famous athletes of all levels, relying on its scientifically proven formulation. Lucozade Sport has since the developed an expanding product range tailored to meet the needs of athletes.

Конус географический (Conus geographus) — вид брюхоногих моллюсков из семейства конусов (Conidae).

Описание

Раковина длиной 43—166 мм. Раковина крупная, овально-конической формы, толстостенная, вздутая, асимметричная. Поверхность раковины гладкая. Общая окраска беловатая либо бежевая, с тонкой «вязью» и расплывчатыми пятнами коричневого цвета — узором, напоминающим географическую карту. Вершина раковины невысокая, с невыразительной короной. Раковина, как и у прочих рыбоядных видов, имеет расширенное устье.

Ареал
Тропический Индо-Тихоокеанский регион. От Красного моря до Японских островов (остров Изу), включая акваторию Индии, Австралии и Филиппин.

Биология
Моллюски встречаются на мелководных участках коралловых рифов, обычно на кораллах и между ними. Предпочитает песчаные грунты, хотя встречается и в зоне утёсов, под камнями.
Хищник — активно охотится на рыб, иногда — на моллюсков.

Заметив добычу при помощи осфрадия, специального чувствительного органа, конус медленно приближается к ней. Добычу убивает при помощи яда, который впрыскивает в тело жертвы с помощью специального органа. Яд обладает нервно-паралитическим действием. Радула имеет зубы, видоизменённые под гарпун — заострённые концы снабжены острыми направленными назад шипами. Внутри гарпуна проходит полость, соединённая с ядовитой железой. Зубы сидят двумя рядами, по одному зубу с каждой стороны пластинки радулы. Когда конус обнаруживает добычу, один зуб радулы выходит из глотки, его полость заполняется секретом ядовитой железы, проходит хобот и зажимается на конце этого хобота. Попадая в организм жертвы, токсин снижает уровень глюкозы в крови, вызывая состояние гипогликемической комы. Смерть от укуса может наступить в течение нескольких минут. Быстродействие токсина объясняется рекордно коротким типом инсулина в его составе.

После укуса и поимки добычи моллюск растягивает свой рот-воронку и проглатывает добычу целиком. Размеры проглоченной добычи могут быть огромны. В некоторых случаях если конус встречает малоподвижных животных, например спящую рыбу, он просто засасывает ее без ужаления.

Географический конус и человек
Яд этого вида конусов является смертельным для человека. В отличие от большинства других видов рода, которые прячутся в раковину при беспокойстве и прикосновении к ним, географический конус, наоборот, проявляет сильную агрессию. Почти все достоверные описания летальных исходов, вызванных ядом конусов, приписываются географическому конусу. Полулетальная доза LD50 по различным данным составляет 0,001—0,003 мг/кг либо 0,012—0,03 мг/кг, что делает географического конуса одним из наиболее токсичных животных в мире.

Укол конуса вызывает острую боль и онемение в месте поражения. Место укуса сначала бледнеет, а затем развивается синюшность. Ощущение онемения часто распространяется на другие участки тела. В тяжелых случаях возможны обмороки, спастический паралич скелетной мускулатуры, сердечная недостаточность и др. Специфических препаратов для лечения последствий укуса конуса нет.

Инсулин в составе токсина конусов хорошо взаимодействует с рецепторами человека и активирует сигнальный путь, необходимый для усвоения глюкозы клетками. По оценкам, в организме его действие началось бы примерно через 5 минут — то есть в три раза быстрее, чем в случае самого быстрого из существующих медицинских препаратов. Изучение кристаллической 3-D-структуры инсулина, извлеченного из токсина этого вида, показало потенциальный способ создания более быстрого инсулина для лечения сахарного диабета.

Getting to Know Kris "iinSaniTTy" Dellarciprete, Head Coach of Lakers Gaming
Lakers Gaming announced in late November that Kris Dellarciprete, who formerly played for Pistons GT under the gamertag iiNsaniTTy, will become the franchise's first designated head coach in the 2020 season. I linked up with the rookie coach in order for the community, as well as myself, to get to know him on a more personal level. Editor's note: this interview has been lightly edited for grammar and style purposes. Some people define "insanity" as doing the same thing over and over again but

Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, and Zoe Saldana explore Dubai in stunning new video
Monica Yadav
ByMonica Yadav
Updated: Jun 5, 2020 - 16:17 IST
Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) today announced the launch of an exciting new collaboration with Hollywood superstars Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, and Zoe Saldana. The campaign film titled 'A Story Takes Flight', features the actresses embarking on three journeys of exploration through Dubai, filled with inspiration, discovery, and human connections.
This new global campaign resolves the mystery of the last edition of Dubai's popular #BeMyGuest series, when Shah Rukh Khan bumped into Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow on a beach in the last video.
The campaign showcases unique locations spread across the Emirate that include the old souks, the Dubai Creek and the vast expanse of sand dunes. Building on Be My Guest, it continues to introduce the Indian audience to the city's less well-known attractions and hidden gems, encouraging travellers to discover the unexplored and authentic side of Dubai.
Shot by Emmy and Director's Guild award-winning director, Reed Morano, who is known for her immersive, natural and cinematic style, the film captures the essence of each actress and the intimate relationships between them, all while capturing the beauty of Dubai. Shot over eight days with a crew from over thirty nationalities, the production of the film evokes the spirit of a city born from multiculturalism, which continues to thrive as a consequence of people from all walks of life calling it home.
Emmy award-winning actress, Kate Hudson added, "Honestly, I was so grateful for the hospitality I received. I spent a lot of time exploring the winding streets of Old Dubai. It's incredible to find such a vibrant art and music community in the heart of such a modern, futuristic city – which is what most people think Dubai is. But really, the friendliness of the people is what made my visit amazing, and it's why I'll come back."
Reliving her experience, Oscar award-winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow said, "One of my favorite parts of traveling is to truly connect with a city, its people and the local culture. Dubai is special because it's a melting pot. Both the ones born here, who are so proud of their heritage, and those who are recent transplants, bringing with them their own values and traditions, contribute to writing the future story of the city. My time in Dubai was beyond anything I expected and there's still so much more to see."
Actress and entrepreneur, Zoe Saldana commented, "The variety Dubai gave me was perfect. I went from riding horses at sunrise to watching the sunset from 150 meters in the sky. I can't wait to bring my boys here to continue the adventure."
Sharing his views on the recent campaign, Issam Kazim, CEO, Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM) said, "Inspired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai's aspirational leadership, the people of Dubai reflect the city's underlying spirit, where the pursuit of excellence has no finish line. 'A Story Takes Flight' is unlike any other film in that it speaks to this defining character of our city. It is a story of each person's discovery through their interaction with Dubai. Regardless of who you are or where you are from, your journey with us also has no finish line – and the paths to explore are endless. As a city, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to host Gwyneth, Zoe, and Kate, and work with such an incredible director, which Reed is. Through the eyes of the actresses, we see the values, connections, and experiences that are engrained in the fabric of Dubai. This is what we represent. We are proud to be a city home to over 200 nationalities and we welcome visitors to write the next chapter of their story here."

Agar.io је масивна мултиплејер онлајн акциона игра коју је направио Матеус Валадарес. Играчи управљају својеврсном ћелијом на мапи која представља Петријеву шољу. Циљ је добити што више на маси односно површини једући агар и ћелије мање од играчеве ћелије, при томе избегавајући оне веће које могу да поједу играчеву ћелију. Име долази од желатинозне супстанце агар, која се користи за узгајање култура бактерија ради проучавања.

Игра је добила позитивне критике; критичари су посебно похвалили њену једноставност, компетитивност и механику, док су негативне критике везане за понављајући гејмплеј. Понајвише због усменог ширења преко друштвених мрежа, постала је вирални успех и једна од најпопуларнијих веб и мобилних игара током своје прве године. Стим верзија је најављена 3. маја 2015 (иако је изашла тек 2018. године), а мобилну верзију Agar.io за iOS и Андроид објавио је Миниклип — 24. јула 2015. године.

Играње

Циљ игре Agar.io је повећавати своју ћелију унутар Петријеве посуде, гутајући насумично генерисане 'пелете' (агар), који помало повећавају масу ћелије, и друге од себе мање ћелије, при чему се не сме дозволити да играча прогута већа ћелија која има исти циљ. Верзија за браузер тренутно има четири мода игре: FFA ( — досл. "слободно за све"), тимови, експериментално и парти. Мобилна верзија игре укључује FFA и раш мод. Циљ игре је да се добије највећа ћелија; играчи морају рестартовати игру ако им неко поједе ћелију. Такође, играчи могу да промене изглед ћелије с предефинисаним речима, фразама, симболима или скиновима. Што ћелија има већу масу, то ће се спорије кретати. Ћелије постепено губе мале количине масе, временом.

Вируси су зелени, бодљикави кругови који раздвајају ћелије које су веће од њих на мале делове (16 или мање, у зависности од масе); мање ћелије се могу сакрити испод вируса ради заштите од већих ћелија. Ћелије у 16 делова могу да једу вирусе без раздвајања, с тим да је обично опасно кретање у много делова, пошто су ћелије мање и теже их је јести. Вируси су иначе насумично генерисани, али играчи могу да створе и нове хранећи постојеће, од. избацивајући мали део играчеве масе у вирус неколико пута, због чега се вирус раздваја и ствара нови вирус.

Играчи могу да раздвоје своје ћелије на два дела притискајући дугме , а једна од две једнако подељене ћелије тада се 'испаљује' у смеру курсора (максимум од 16 подељених ћелија). Ово се може користити као напад с одређеним дометом да би ћелија дошла брже до друге мање ћелије и прогутала је, или пак као тактика за бег од друге ћелије, или за брже кретање на мапи. Подељене ћелије се на крају спајају назад у једну ћелију. Поред храњења вируса, играчи могу да избаце (отпусте) и мали део своје масе да би нахранили друге ћелије — потез који се обично сматра као намера тимског деловања односно сарађивања са другим играчем. Ово је могуће урадити притискањем типке . Играч исто тако може да отпусти масу да завара непријатеље како би се приближили. Када непријатељска ћелија дође довољно близу, играч може да подели своју ћелију да поједе плен који је намамио.

Развој
Излазак игре Agar.io је 27. априла 2015. на имиџборд веб-сајту 4chan објавио Матеус Валадарес, тада 19-годишњи бразилски девелопер. Написана на језицима Јаваскрипт и C++, игра је развијена за неколико дана. Оригинално није имала име, а корисници су морали да се повежу на Валадаресову IP адресу да би играли. Име Agar.io је сугерисао анонимни корисник 4chan, пошто су друга имена домена као што је cell.io већ била (за)узета. Валадарес је наставио да ажурира и додаје нове функције у игру, као што је систем искуства (XP) и "експериментални" мод игре направљен за сврхе тестирања експерименталних могућности. Једну недељу касније, Agar.io је ушао у Стим гринлајт, а Валадарес је објавио будућу фри-ту-плеј (F2P) верзију игре за преузимање. Планирао је да у Стим верзију инкорпорира могућности које нису доступне у браузер верзији, укључујући додатне модове игре, различите стилове, те систем налога. Стављање на списак за Стим одобрено је због интереса заједнице.

Дана 24. јула 2015, Миниклип је објавио мобилну верзију Agar.io за iOS и Андроид. Серхио Варанда, главни на мобилном одељењу у Миниклипу, објаснио је да је примарни циљ мобилне верзије био да се "рекреира искуство играња" на мобителу, наводећи изазове при поновном стварању игре с тачскрин контролама.

Критика
Agar.io је игра која је након изласка добила позитиван критички пријем. Посебна похвала је била за једноставност, компетитивност и механику играња. Engadget је игру описао као "добру апстракцију свирепог такмичења у опстанку најспособнијих који ви понекад видите на микроскопском нивоу". Toucharcade је похвалио једноставност, стратешки елемент, те "персоналност".

Негативна критика је углавном била усмерена на репетитивност и контроле код мобилне верзије. Том Кристијансен који пише за Gamezebo имао је помешане ставове, изјавивши да му "ништа није привукло пажњу" и да је игра "свеукупно, веома репетитивна". Pocket Gamer, дајући рецензију мобилне верзије, описао је њене контроле као "пливајуће".

Пошто је учестало пропагирана кроз друштвене медије и приказивана на платформи Twitch.tv и сајту Јутјуб, игра Agar.io је брзо доживела успех. Веб-сајт agar.io (за браузер верзију) Alexa је рангирао као један од 1.000 најпосећенијих веб-сајтова, а мобилне верзије су преузете више од десет милиона пута током прве недеље од објављивања. Током 2015, Agar.io је била игра највише пута претражена на Гуглу. Била је ово друга на Гуглу најпретраживанија игра у САД за 2016. годину.

Agar.io је игра која се нашла (укључујући неке детаље из гејмплеја, те снимак стварног играња) у "Поглављу 48" Нетфликсове ТВ серије Кућа од карата (). Гејмплеј је поређен с вођењем председничке кампање.

Политичка говорница
Током кампања на Општим изборима у Турској јуна 2015, Agar.io се у Турској користио као медијум политичке адвокатуре; многи играчи су називали своје ћелије по турским политичким партијама и референцама, при чему су се формирали и савези између играча са сличним политичким погледима који су се борили против других играча са супротним погледима. Неке политичке партије су користиле Agar.io у постерима кампања као симбол подршке.

In our first of two talks with David Jaye, the Chief Marketing Officer of The Weather Company, Brian Regienczuk, Agency Spotter's CEO, discusses Jaye's work on the advertising agency side of the business and his transition to being a client. What is agency life like and how did it prepare you for the rest or your career?
Intro: David Jaye has held Senior Marketing roles at agencies like Digitas, Wunderman, and OgilvyOne. He has served as the head of creative agency partnerships at Google, and currently he overseas marketing and creative expression for the world's largest private weather enterprise, delivering more the 30 billion individual forecasts daily to 2.2 billion locations. With the top app on all major mobile platforms globally, and the 7th most data rich website in the world. I'm happy to have David Jaye, CMO of The Weather Company.
Brian: I wanted to start with asking you a little bit about how has working on both the agency side and the brand side prepared you for becoming a CMO?
David: I think for me, it was about two different phases of my career. I think agency life particularly when I was in it, which was around the '90s, 2000, was really about the emergence of digital and data-driven targeting, so the direct response and the beginning of segmentation.
It was really interesting because the agencies were already transforming, and so people that were literate early in digital were able to get exposure and be able to progress through the ranks incredibly quickly. The amount of exposure to the projects and the scope of the projects that I was given at a very early stage of my career was quite amazing.
Being able to do the agency world enabled me to both, number one, travel the world; and number two, get exposed to so many different businesses. Because I've had such a breadth of experience that was really enabled by the agency, the amount of assignments I had while rising through the ranks of the agency and also the complexity of the questions being asked for us to answer. It really gave an incredibly broad base and also a fundamental confidence in my ability to learn.
Brian: It's an interesting perspective. I like it. Can you tell us a little bit more about the role you actually have before being a CMO?
David: I was working for Google, but the thing that's interesting about Google is I think I'm the only person who's ever hired by Google who previously had been running a burrito cart in the middle of Sweden for three years.
For me, it was a fantastic way to enter back into the marketplace because I was one of the few people within Google who had a purview over everything within Google.
Brian: You've worked either at or with agencies for a number of years, what are the most rewarding things about working with agencies or agency life?
David: I think from an agency world perspective, it gives you a breadth of experience that's very difficult to replicate on the client side. I worked for a lot of different agencies, and in doing so, I've been able to travel the world.
My wife is Swedish. I lived in London for five years. I lived in France for a year. I think from that standpoint, it was incredibly both interesting and really compelling in the sense that it gave you both the exposure to go out and see the world and see different cultures and context.
From a skill set standpoint, you get a very good understanding of all the components. I think the exposure to various business models and various business problems, all marketing related, really give you quite a broad tool set to use and choose from as you advance in your career.
Brian: In terms of The Weather Company, how do you use agencies today?
David: I feel very strongly that internal organizations, marketing organizations need to own the ability of telling their story. You can't farm out your positioning.
We have a creative group, internally. What we do is make sure that we establish: What's the brand architecture? Or, what's the overall brand narrative? How does that cross all our portfolio of products? And, then based around that, we use specific agencies for various campaigns. We're a little laser-focused in the sense of which agencies we'll use for various specific campaigns.
Brian: Do you have any advice for brand leaders who are trying to build weather agency partnerships?
David: I think they have to lean in.
Right now, one of the biggest initiatives that we currently are doing is we are looking at our overall brand architecture. If you look, we are The Weather Company or The Weather Channel, Weather Underground and now we're recently owned by IBM.
When you start considering our global ambitions, which are really to go global and drive a billion to a billion users, we're currently at around 250 million users. A substantial amount of our growth is going to come globally. One of the challenges is The Weather Channel doesn't translate into multiple languages. Also, the relevancy isn't the same iconic resonance that you have here in the U.S. Part of what we've got to be reconsidering is how do we need to evolve our story to encompass all those dimensions.
The advice is, for marketers, you only get what you put in. If you kick it over the fence, expect it to be kicked back. Okay? If you lean in and you say, "Hey, agency. This truly is a partnership.
In that, hopefully, we'll get the best solution and the agency gets the best partnership because there's a transparency around also the reality, even in our business. Part of that happens early on in our agency relationships is everyone is taking a guess. What you do is the tension tends to come as reality starts affecting that guess. When you're trying to sell in on the agency side, you'll always err towards the side of, 'Oh, it will be fine.' On the client side, you're like, 'Well, I don't understand what those fees are,' and yet there's no working in between. That would be the big thing, to lean in.


I don't think that I can say much more than that this book brought me some very happy childhood memories. It also told me about a few adventures that I could have got into had this book been around at the time.
There was a children's encyclopedia around when I was young, which contained many similar suggestions. I wish that I still had it.
Anyway, this book is bound to have the same reminiscent effect on anyone who was growing up before children entertained themselves with computer games, and maybe it ought to be bought for our current young generation too!

2-574 Editorial Note on Women's Auxiliary, May-October 1941
Collection: Papers of George Catlett Marshall, Volume 2: We Cannot Delay, Women's Army Corps
Editorial Note on Women's Auxiliary
Women as individuals and as organized groups made known to the War Department their desire to participate in the military mobilization. Their services had been found necessary during 1917-18 both at home and abroad, although the context within which they had to operate was poorly organized and coordinated. The General Staff did not undertake to study this problem seriously until early 1941, by which time the tone of official statements had become more accepting of the possibility of extensive use of women.
Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts visited Marshall during the early spring of 1941 and told him that she was going to introduce a bill to establish a corps of 25,000 women to fill professional, technical, and service positions in the army. The chief of staff asked for time to study the issue and set his G-1 staff to work drafting a bill that the army could support. To emphasize that the women were to serve with but not in the army, the Personnel Division endeavored to write a bill that made the distinctions of duty, rank, and privilege between the army and the proposed women's auxiliary as great as possible. Rogers introduced H.R. 4906 ("A Bill to Establish a Women's Army Auxiliary Corps for Service with the Army of the United States") on May 28, 1941, but it remained for months in the Military Affairs Committee without hearings. (Mattie E. Treadwell, The Women's Army Corps, a volume in the United States Army in World War II [Washington: GPO, 1954], pp. 16-20.)
Reporting on the W.A.A.C. bill, the War Department's Budget and Legislative Planning Branch observed that "this Branch understands that the Chief of Staff has informally approved the proposed legislation, and therefore makes no comment." (Memorandum for the Deputy Chief of Staff, June 18, 1941, NA/RG 407 [General, 291.9 (6-2-41) sec. 1, pt. 1].) Lieutenant Colonel John H. Hilldring, at this time assigned to G-1, later recalled that by the summer of 1941 Marshall was worried about the possibility of future manpower shortages; he also thought it inefficient for the army to attempt to train men for specialties like typist or telephone operator that women had taken over in civil life. Finally, he was impressed by women's desire to serve. While there was no immediate need to incorporate large numbers of women into the army, Marshall wanted to be prepared for immediate action should the need arise. (Treadwell, Women's Army Corps, p. 20.) The Bureau of the Budget was not impressed with the need for the bill, however, and in a letter dated October 7 it notified the War Department that enactment of the bill would not be "considered as being in accord with the program of the President." (John B. Blandford, Jr., to the Secretary of War, October 7, 1941, NA/RG 407 [General, 291.9 (6-2-41) sec. 1, pt. 1].)
Marshall may have received this letter shortly before delivering the following informal address to a group of twenty or thirty presidents of national women's organizations. The meeting had been arranged by Oveta Culp Hobby, co-publisher of the Houston Post, who had taken what she presumed to be the short-term position as chief of the War Department's Women's Interests Section in the Planning and Liaison Branch of the Bureau of Public Relations. She suggested that the chief of staff talk to the women as the mothers of soldiers, fearful of what was happening to their sons and lacking accurate information on military life, and assure them that their boys were being adequately fed, clothed, and sheltered. (Hobby Memorandum for Major W. T. Sexton, October 7, 1941, GCMRL/G. C. Mar shall Papers [Pentagon Office, General].) Instead, Marshall chose to talk about discipline, a term and concept that he had learned confused and disturbed civilians.

The Waikiki of today is worlds away from the wetlands, mudflats, fishponds and full-cover bathing suits of 1916. A walk amongst the modern concrete towers of this tourist mecca reveals little in the way of culture or history and even less in "green space". To a small degree, this will soon change!
conversation about a new, community-service organization called "Rotary" enticed both men and ultimately led to the establishment of Hawaii's first Rotary Club in July 1915.
Today, this club still exists as the Rotary Club of Honolulu.
Since its founding, an additional 49 clubs have been organized and thrive throughout the State. The contributions of these clubs to Hawaii's children, families and communities are both numerous and impactful. No doubt, our State is a far better place because of Rotary.
Upon their arrival, visitors to Centennial Park will note the regal, wrought iron/stone wall fence adorning the park perimeter.
Much like the grounds of Iolani Palace, Centennial Park will be encompassed by a protective, yet picturesque, fencing reminiscent of the late 1800's. This stylish accent will provide security in the evenings and view ability during the day.
Once inside, visitors will stroll the natural stone walkways stopping to read from each of ten (10) engraved "ROTO-STONES" spaced amongst the Rotarian-planted gardens.
Each large stone is dedicated to a specific decade dating back 100 years and tells two stories of historical significance.
The first details the history, accomplishments and growth of Rotary in Hawaii since 1915 plus notable Rotary International achievements made possible by the Rotary Foundation.
The second provides an historical account of important events occurring in the islands as well as an overview of the transformation of Waikiki during this same 100-year period.
The "Roto-Stones" provide park visitors, both local and international, with a knowledge and perspective available in no other venue in the world.
The "Paul Harris Lawn", an elevated, grass performance area, will be the site of Hawaiian Storytelling, Keiki Hula events, Royal Hawaiian Band Performances and many other cultural and educational activities.
In the true spirit of Rotary, the perimeter garden areas will be prepared and planted by Rotarians from throughout the State under the watchful eye of professional landscaping experts.
A combination of native and introduced species will be selected to provide a lush and colorful groundcover.
The sense of unity in the creation of Centennial Park represents Rotary's international mission of bringing people together to promote peace, humanity and the spirit of "Service Above Self".


Eat Chocolate in the Name of Science!
Break off two squares of a chocolate bar. Wrap each square in foil. Place one square in the freezer for a few hours and leave the other at room temperature.
Predict what would happen if you did the experiment again, but grated each square into small shavings first. Try it!
Why is it important to have a melting point close to body temperature?
Because the speed at which chocolate melts in your mouth affects its flavor!
This short experiment is based on "Project 15: Viscosity and Flavour" from The Science of Chocolate, 2nd ed., by Stephen T. Beckett.
The author explains "...the speed at which a food melts in the mouth affects its taste as well as its texture. This is because the chocolate viscosity affects the speeds at which the different molecules reach the flavor receptors."
Students should notice a difference between the taste and texture of the room-temperature and frozen chocolate because the frozen chocolate must first be warmed up in the mouth before it melts, while the room-temperature chocolate quickly melts in the mouth. The difference in taste and texture of the frozen grated chocolate should be less because although it is still frozen, it melts more quickly on the tongue than a solid piece of frozen chocolate.
Since palmitic acid has a melting point of 63°C (145°F) and stearic acid has a melting point of 70°C (158°F), the differences in the melting temperatures of the six β forms of chocolate falls heavily on the amount of unsaturated oleic acid present, which has a melting point of 16°C (61°F).

Greeks to Test Passengers From 13 Countries for COVID-19
Phil Butler - August 20th, 2021 02:50 pm
Paros Airport in August 2020 - Sanshiro KUBOTA
An interesting situation has arisen as far as Greece tourism is concerned. According to a report from the Civil Aviation Service (CAS), passengers who arrive in Greece from 13 specific countries, regardless of their own nationality, will be required to submit to a coronavirus test upon arrival in the country. What makes this a curious development is the fact that Greek officials have assured the public tourism has nothing whatsoever to do with the recent spikes in COVID infections.
The Civil Aviation Service (CAS) said in a new NOTAM on Thursday, that travelers from Albania, Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, Georgia, India, Libya, Morocco, Russia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates must submit to the testing. Under an extended NOTAM, entrance to Greece by air is denied to all third-country nationals (ie non-EU, non-Schengen countries) and their families.
While it is still unclear exactly why the new directive was put in place, it seems that travelers have somehow slipped through some gaps in the Greek system of prevention via stopovers or other means. The notice implies that entry into Greece and the pertinent testing will become passport specific. At least, this seems like a fair assumption. Without a doubt, there is some level of concern that some travelers may not meet Greek requirements.
A few days ago a top adviser on COVID proclaimed the rebooted tourism season of 2021 as a success. The government's Infectious disease expert Charalambos Gogos was quoted saying: "The bet on tourism is being won so far."
Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis has said repeatedly , that tourism has nothing to do with increases in coronavirus cases. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Mediterranean region office says:
"WHO is concerned that the current Covid-19 upsurge may continue to peak in the coming weeks, with catastrophic consequences."
A few hours ago, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control placed all of Greece in the red on its updated Covid-19 map. The latest figures from Greece's EODY reveal 3,442 new COVID cases, and 25 more fatalities in the past 24 hours. The Instagram from DJ BLOND:ISH from Mykonos on August 5th seems to indicate the party on that famous island has never even slowed down.
Ein Beitrag geteilt von BLOND:ISH (@blondish)
As far as key areas of high incidence, Mykonos Island is still overing at 300 cases per 100,000 people despite government efforts to curtail parties and high risk activities. In Crete, where new restrictions were applied, cases are still high, but have fallen back over the past days. Santorini, Naxos, Rethymno on Crete, and Lefkada also have high incidence rates. On the Mykonos situation, reshares of parties on social media reflect a cavalier attitude toward the pandemic. One Instagrammer on seeing the BLOND:ISH party commented "Why the fuck am I not on Mykonos?"

Friends of the Cambridge Public Library
2018-2019 Board Members & Library Staff Liaison
Larry Adler
I retired as Director of Mathematics and Science for the Belmont Public Schools, and am currently working part-time as a university mathematics instructor. A lifelong reader, I look forward to imparting my skills and energy to the Cambridge Public Libraries. This year I am focusing my efforts on the 2018 Secret Garden Tour.
Stephanie Berk
A major part of my childhood, growing up in Cambridge, was spent at the Library. It continues to be one of my favorite places, as is true for my kids. I founded and ran a Metro-Boston residential cleaning company for two decades. My employees were recent immigrants all in need of language fluency. CPL was a haven for them, their kids and extended families. I remain involved with several Cambridge non-profit agencies and committed in support of refugees and DACA immigrants. CPL is a wonderful paragon of what makes Cambridge a great city.
Hetal Bhatt
One thing that stands out and makes Cambridge so different from other cities, is the strong sense of community here. As an avid reader and a lover of real books, I was delighted to discover the Cambridge Public Library and when the opportunity presented itself to to be a part of the library community and give back, it was hard to pass. I am excited and proud to be a part of this community and of all the great things to come.
Todd Case
As a child growing up in the rural Midwest, the local library helped me imagine a life outside of the agricultural bubble I grew up in and introduced me to leaders such as Frederick Douglas, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Helen Keller, Harriet Tubman, Tecumseh and General William Tecumseh Sherman. Reading about these heroes (and memorable characters) lead me to win one of the summer reading contests for most books read. It also introduced me to the power that science has, particularly on preventing and curing disease. That interest led me to study Epidemiology and to an almost 20+ year and counting career in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech sector. In addition, I have a six year old daughter who also wants to be a scientist (at least for now) and spends hours at the Cambridge Public Library each week – often racking up past due books because she can't bear the thought of turning them back in. I've lived in the Boston area for almost 8 years, and when I was looking for housing I knew I wanted to live in Cambridge after I saw the library lit up one night. I'm thrilled to be a new member.
Clara Dawley
I have always found the library to be a special place and particularly enjoyed volunteering for a library summer reading program while growing up. An Oregonian native, I went to Boston College and have since been living in Cambridge working in consulting and corporate strategy. When I am not exploring the collections at the library, I am trying new recipes with my crock-pot, watching the Oregon football team, or hiking.
Terry Delancey
My first experience with Cambridge Public Library was more than 30 years ago bringing children to the bookmobile parked near a neighborhood playground. The Library has been a resource in my work and a joy in my life ever since. I am retired from my position as Executive Director of Agassiz Baldwin Community, a job I held for over 30 years. I still spend many hours at the Library, in book groups, on art activities and working on many community projects.
Katinka Hakuta
Beyond the joy I get from having access to such an incredible collection of books and other material right in my own neighborhood through the Cambridge Public Library, I am continually inspired by the CPL's commitment to diversity, social justice, and lifelong learning for all. After being a CPL patron for more than five years, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the community and mission of the library through the Friends association, bringing marketing, communications, and outreach experience to the board. Because as Katherine Hepburn said, "What in the world would we do without our libraries?"
Michael Omenazu
Originally from Chicago, IL, I have lived in the Greater Boston area for the last six years and in Cambridge for the last two. I am dedicated to community building and believe the Cambridge Public Library serves as a critical tool in accomplishing that goal. I especially appreciate its diversity of resources and how they are made available to the equally diverse population of the Republic of Cambridge.
Sara Reisman
After moving to Cambridge in 1976, a top priority was to apply for a library card. Reading has always been one of the great joys of my life. Every time I walk into the library, I am in awe of the wealth of activities and services offered. Most impressive is that public libraries are still totally free. My finance and management background (in both work and volunteer situations) seems to be a good fit with the Friends Board. I look forward to using my past experience to help ensure the continuation of the Cambridge Library's high level of services to Cambridge.
M.K. Wong
As a native New Yorker, one of my favorite activities as a child was going to our neighborhood library to borrow books from my school's summer reading list. Since then, I've never stopped enjoying where a good book can take me, and now share my love of many authors with my father! As manager of a gift store and studio teaching Nantucket Basket Weaving, I have gotten to know many members of the Cambridge community. Wanting to become more involved in the community led me to the Friends Board of the Cambridge Public Library. I frequently stop by the Library after work or on my days off to peruse the shelves and enjoy the quiet open space. Much of my volunteer work has been helping organizations create special events to engage the greater community. I look forward to working with the Library to further its mission.
Maria McCauley, Director of Libraries and Board Member Ex Officio
Maria McCauley has served as Director of Libraries for the City of Cambridge since August 2016. She began her library career 17 years ago at the Cambridge Public Library in Circulation and Reference Services. Before returning to Cambridge, Maria served as the Director of Libraries in Santa Monica, Director of Libraries for the City of Somerville, and held several library positions at Northeastern University.
Maria received a Bachelor of Arts from Ohio Wesleyan University, a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh and has received her PhD from Simmons. She is an elected American Library Association (ALA) Councilor-At-Large. Her research has been published in College & Research Libraries, Library Management and portal.
Paula Kozlowski, Library Staff Liaison
When I moved from Toronto to Cambridge in early 2015, I quickly found my neighborhood CPL branch and got my library card. The one thing I knew to do to re-create normalcy for myself in a new city, and a new country, was to establish my local connection to my life-long friends- books!

FAIRway Danube, one of the ninety official priority projects of the Three Seas Initiative, has completed a 6-year project that ran between 2015 to 2021. The project aimed to make the river more navigable than ever before. If everything goes according to plan, tourists will soon be able to travel downstream to experience the beauty of the Danube Delta.
People have settled near rivers throughout history, benefiting from trade, fishing, and easy access to drinking water. Thus, the importance of the Danube river for central and southeastern Europe is hard to overstate. The Danube is the EU's longest river and flows through ten countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Ukraine, before reaching the Black Sea. It passes through Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, and Bratislava, while Munich, Bucharest, Sofia, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, and Pristina are all located a few hundred kilometers from the river or less.
Since 1992, it has been connected with cities such as Cologne, Düsseldorf, Rotterdam, Strasbourg, and Basel via a canal that reaches the EU's second-longest river, the Rhine. Together, the Rhine and the Danube provide a navigable artery stretching from Rotterdam and the North Sea to the Danube Delta in southeastern Romania. However, water levels have been sinking in recent years, and it has been difficult for captains to obtain information about shallow sections, water levels, and water level forecasts before setting out on journeys. FAIRway Danube has introduced solutions that will do wonders for the nerves of every captain traveling up and down the river.
Tonnage is money
The main problem that FAIRway Danube was meant to solve was the unpredictability of water levels, which decreased profits for many with commercial interests linked to transport on the Danube. The EU has long promoted Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) as a great alternative to transport by rail or highways. It is one of the cleanest modes of transport while also benefiting from low transportation costs.
Most vessels are medium-sized, with a transport capacity of about 1,000 to 1,500 tons per vessel. Still, because some sections of the river potentially have insufficient fairway depth, captains sometimes opt for smaller loads. Furthermore, shallow water also increases the vessels' fuel consumption disproportionately. The FAIRway Danube project was developed to harmonize hydrological, hydrographic, waterway and waterway maintenance tasks in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia to improve the situation. The aim has been to use the maximum depths available by adapting the location of the waterway to current riverbed conditions.
More accurate maps of the river were needed to make this possible. The participating countries purchased five vessels equipped with multi-beam sonar measuring devices. These are being used to assess critical sections for navigation, such as shallow areas and bottlenecks. Sediment deposits and erosion from the banks of the channel that reduce water depths have been detected early, making maintenance of the waterway cheaper as dredging can start before more significant problems arise.
Harmonization
Navigation along the Danube used to be further complicated because countries used to each have their own method for measuring water depth with no harmonization through standardized instruments. That has changed, and 37 water level gauging stations have been added to measure the exact depth. Another example of harmonization was achieved by marking vessels, which set out colorized buoys to give captains necessary information about the course of the waterway.
Two follow-up projects – 'FAIRway works!' and 'Preparing FAIRway 2 works in the Rhine-Danube corridor'– have been launched to continue the work. The FAIRway Danube project has the potential to lead the region toward a more digital, decarbonized, and environmentally-friendly transport sector. Unpredictable water levels have forced many of the popular tourist cruises going down the Danube to turn back before reaching one of Europe's most spectacular natural scenes, the Danube Delta. FAIRway Danube and its follow-up projects aim to change that by making it possible for even more Europeans to discover the beauty of this hidden gem and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
