In recent years, we have witnessed a European Union struggling to forge a common approach to the admission of onward movement of prospective 'beneficiaries of international protection' (BiP), which include 1951 Geneva Convention refugees and those grated 'subsidiary protection status' (Qualification Directive (Recast) Article 2), prompting calls by Guy Goodwin-Gill and others for the creation of a European Refugee and Migration Agency.
The 'crisis' has had (some) ripple effects on the ease of intra-Union travel of EU citizens (cue Schengen), but has not dented the fundamental principle that citizens of the Union shall enjoy 'the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States' (TFEU Article 20) and Charter of Fundamental Rights Article 45. Indeed, in the aftermath of the 23rd June 2016 Brexit referendum, preservation of intra-Union travel of EU citizens as a principle continues to enjoy public support in the EU-27. Continental leaders praised the internal market and the indivisibility of its four freedoms: not just of capital, goods, and service, but of people.
However, while third country nationals (TCNs) legally residing in each of the 28 Member States enjoy freedom of movement within that state, pursuant to international human rights law, their cross-border movement rights are limited. Pertinently for the forthcoming Refugee Law Initiative 2nd Annual Conference, TCNs include persons recognised by EU Members States, pursuant to EU law, as BiP. While Article 33 of the EU Qualification Directive requires Member States to allow BiP intra-state freedom of movement under the same conditions that TCNs generally enjoy in those states, pursuant to Article 26 of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the 2003 Long-Term Residents Directive (LTRD) which facilitates cross-border mobility after five years of continuous residence had excluded BiP (Article 4). In 2011, the LTRD was amended to encompass BiP. Nevertheless, hitherto, BiP are excluded from the application of the 'highly qualified employment' Directive ('Blue Card' holders) (Article 3(2(b)). The European Commission recently proposed revising the Directive by extending its application to BiP.
I suggest that BiP are the ultimate non-citizen 'Europeans': they are granted international protection by an EU Member States based on a uniform status, determined by EU law (Qualification Directive) which is authoritatively interpreted by the European Court of Justice. The question which EU Member State is responsible for determining eligibility is similarly determined by EU law, the (in)famous 'Dublin' Regulation. Indeed, as noted above, these features distinguish BiP from other TCNs: Member States generally make first admissions decisions regarding the latter based on their (independently determined) immigration policy.
Hence, I would argue that, whilst the responsibility for determining the status of an individual as a BiP lies with (one) Member State, their mobility ought not be restricted to that Member State. BiP are forced migrants; they are unable to return to their country of origin and thus wholly dependent on their state of asylum. The creation of an EU Protection space where BiP can exercise mobility rights could carry an emancipatory potential: one that is not only realised through actual movement, but also liberates the BiP to seek domicile that would better align with their own preferences.
Indeed, the Member State in which their application has been assessed may not necessarily be best placed to facilitate their integration, as per Article 34 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (concerning refugees) as promulgated in Article 34 of the Qualification Directive (in respect of BiP) and affirmed in the CJEU Alo and Asso judgment. Should BiP enjoy cross-border mobility rights, by exercising them they would be actively choosing a given Member State, and thus potentially more likely to integrate. Inadvertently, such reform could also result in more equitable responsibility sharing.
The UK's impending withdrawal from the EU will require the EU to revisit some of its existing prospects of free movement. It has been recently proposed to open for UK citizens qua former EU citizens the possibility ('opt-in') of acquiring a newly created Associate Citizenship which would guarantee their mobility rights post-Brexit. It may be a fortuitous time to revisit cross-border mobility rights of BiP with a view to creating a truly European protection space.

Doing Money
How a Couple Merging Finances Does Money
By Nicole Dieker April 21, 2015
Photo credit: Ron Cogswell, CC BY 2.0.
Jennifer is a 29-year-old NGO program director who lives in Washington D.C.
So, Jennifer, tell us a bit about your finances.
My boyfriend and I recently moved in together (in January), and have since been experimenting with ways to merge finances. He also works as a program director at a different NGO, and our salaries are quite close (I'm $81,000 and he is $75,000) though that is due to fairly large raises we each got recently. We used to have more disparate incomes when we first moved in together.
He has a large-ish student loan (no consumer debt), and I have no debt. We live in an odd apartment that is strangely cheap for D.C.
We're still figuring out how much we merge money and what that means for us.
Let's look at your living situation first, because I know a bit about D.C. rents. How much are you paying, and what type of apartment are you living in?
So, we pay $875 for a two-bedroom apartment in a pretty central neighborhood — which doesn't actually make any sense, obviously. Rents where I live, for that size apartment, should be closer to $1,600-$1,800.
Right, that'd be about what I'd expect.
I "inherited" this apartment from a friend who moved, and assumed her lease; the rent goes up a tiny bit ($20 or so) per year, but that's it. There are just two units like this, and neither I nor my neighbor know why they exist. My theory is one day the landlord will realize that they should charge twice as much, so we're saving up for a down payment for some place else in the meantime. For now, we're enjoying spending so little on rent.
Got it. So on to your experiment. I'm interested in learning how you budget, if you contribute to a shared pot, how you handle discretionary expenses, and if there have been any surprises along the way.
Prior to moving in together we talked about this a lot. At the time I was making quite a bit more. We discussed going 50/50 on shared expenses (to be defined later), but it was important to me to not go 50/50, actually. I felt like we should contribute proportionately to our incomes. To me, going 50/50 felt like what I would do with a random roommate or a friend, not someone with whom I was merging my life.
Now that almost matters less since we're so close, salary-wise.
We keep two running spreadsheets; one is where we track and define shared expenses (rent, utilities, laundry, pets, groceries) along with how much we're spending there. Right now we're kind of in learning mode with that one to figure out how much we should budget. We have a shared checking account for those expenses that we both contribute to each paycheck.
Then we have another spreadsheet where we break down how much we make each paycheck post-taxes, and our retirement contributions. This is where we budget out contributions to the joint account and to our savings pots.
We have three savings accounts: emergency, travel/major expenses like a couch, and down payment.
Then we each have a substantial amount left after that in our solo checking accounts.
I think the biggest surprise has been how quickly we've moved to more and more merging. Initially we weren't going to do any sort of joint savings, but we realized that aside from our retirement accounts, our savings goals are really joint goals.
It looks like you did some serious planning beforehand, which is great. How did you have the pre-moving-in discussion?
I'll break that up into logistics and goals, since they were pretty different.
We've always been super open about finances, even pretty early on in dating. He's naturally a very open and honest person, and as an avid Billfold reader I felt like talking about that sort of thing was natural and important. So we knew long before moving in how much we each earned, any debt, etc.
We were pretty deliberate about moving in together in general, so we had several conversations about what it meant and how it would work — and one conversation was about how we'd do money. I'm trying to remember how it went, but I think I just asked him what his expectations were, and we talked about the various options and what they would feel like and mean to us.
We landed on keeping some/most money separate, but going proportional to earnings on shared expenses; it felt like a place where we kept independence but also were forming a family unit. I'm sure that different people feel that place differently, but that's what worked for us.
Oddly, we didn't talk goals before moving in, in terms of savings at least. That happened when I was embarking on a solo effort to be more deliberate about saving categories, and as he was helping me talk through what to do there, we realized that these goals were shared goals.
So let's jump back to the idea of "what it would feel like and mean to us." A lot of us have emotional responses to saving/spending money that aren't necessarily based on, say, the Principles of Economics.
Did you find yourself having emotional responses to merging your finances that you did not expect? Or did you structure your merging to specifically prevent certain types of emotional responses, e.g. resentment?
When we were first talking about merging money I was making about 60 percent of our combined income, and I think that meant that we were coming at merging from slightly different perspectives. I can't totally speak for him, but my sense was that he wanted to make sure that I wasn't overly subsidizing him somehow and that he was contributing to the family just as much as I was.
For me, it was important to feel like we weren't totally separate people who just happened to be living together, and I wanted to feel like a unit (I don't think I'd really want to 100 percent merge and I like the independence, but my parents were 100 percent merged my whole life and still are, and that's what was modeled for me).
The challenge, of course, is that this works really well so long as things work really well. We're pretty intermingled now; while we're both protected by having our own accounts, we'd have to rely on each other's decency if we ever did split up.
From my perspective, it sounds like you are already treating each other with respect and thoughtfulness, and that kind of thing tends to carry over.
Yes, it doesn't worry me too much, because we're both very concerned with what's fair, and we track things carefully.
What advice do you have for other people who might be merging finances for the first time?
For me, it really helped to do some solo work prior to talking together. Understanding what my triggers are (why I felt so strongly about not wanting to go 50/50, for example), what's important to me, etc. before having those conversations jointly really helped.
It also helped that we had laid a foundation of talking about money and being open about money and debt long before we had to jointly figure them out. It's a cliché, but it really does come down to open, honest, and respectful communication.
Clichés do tend to contain a nugget of truth!
Different things work for different people, but I would advise keeping some money separate, I think. It helps avoid any resentment or judging, since we both have our own money for whatever we want.
We also revisit all of this regularly, which I think helps us from having anything fester. Every month we review our spending and discuss how things are working for us, money-wise. It's just a regular event, and that helps it never feel charged or difficult.

Sudden Rapid Evolution
If you're anywhere in Europe, and very many states in North America if not now then certainly very soon, you'll be able to look out of your window, or in any public garden or park and see an example of very recent evolution in the form of the Eurasian Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto decaocto.
I still remember seeing my first one in Woodstock, Oxfordshire when on my way home from working in Oxford. This must have been in about 1964. One of the technicians in our laboratory was also a keen naturalist and had told me excitedly only a few days earlier that he had seen a pair in Charlton-on-Otmoor. Just a few years earlier any recitation of the names of the common British birds would have included just four British wild pigeons - the Wood Pigeon, the Stock Dove, the Turtle Dove and the Rock Dove - in addition to the ubiquitous Town Pigeon which is a feral form of the domestic dove, which is itself a domesticated Rock Dove, so it didn't count as a different species. The Collared Dove was absent from all the books on Birds I had then (and still have). Ironically, a dove normally described as common was the Turtle Dove, a close relative of the Collared Dove, but which I only ever saw once in Oxfordshire. It is now an endangered species in Britain. The last ones I saw were in Crete last Summer.
The phenomenal expansion of the range of the Collared Dove in the twentieth century was nothing short of spectacular. In the nineteenth century it was confined to Turkey, the Middle-East and India. In the 1920s it appeared in the Balkans and began an extraordinary north-westward expansion so that by the 1950s it made it onto the British bird list for the first time as a rare vagrant, then a breeder in 1955 in Norfolk. It is now abundant and a common garden bird throughout the UK and Ireland, has reached the Faeroe Islands and appears occasionally in Iceland, probably as a wind-blown vagrant. It then expanded laterally from this narrow band extending northwest from Turkey to the British Isles, so it is now present throughout Europe and Western Asia, extending even into the Arctic Circle.
It was introduced into the Bahamas in the 1970 and quickly spread to Florida. It is now very quickly extending its range across North America. If its European success is repeated it will soon be a common garden bird there too and may even extend down into South America.
But what caused this sudden expansion? At the time there was speculation that it must have been a genetic change which enabled the doves to survive in the colder north-west but there was also speculation that it could have been due to post-war changes in agricultural practices or other human activity which made their preferred food more readily available. It is also possible that there had been some form of barrier preventing their expansion. A barrier, especially for a relatively sedentary species (despite the species' expansion individual birds do not often move far from the area they were born in) can consist of something as simple as an expanse of water or even land on which its food is absent. If it can't survive there long enough to make it across, it can't establish itself on the other side, so the barrier is as effective as a wall. Was there some change in the Balkans in the 1930s or 1940s? It has even been suggested that the Collared Dove was introduced there as escapees from captivity.
To me the agricultural change hypothesis is less convincing than a genetic change because Collared Doves are not especially birds of the fields and woodlands but more birds of towns, parks and gardens, and parks and gardens have been a feature of European towns since well before the early twentieth century. The fact that the expansion was initially resolutely north-westward until it reached the Atlantic coast of Europe also points towards a genetic change rather than a change in agricultural practice or other human activity.
In a sense though, whether it was genetic change or environmental change which was the main cause of this expansion is semantic since an evolutionary change will only occur if the environment is right for the genetic change. If the genetic change is adverse in the given environment it will be quickly eliminated and nothing more will be heard of it. Whether the Collared Doves, much earlier in their evolution, had evolved the genes then neutral but capable of exploiting a new environment, by genetic drift, which then needed to 'wait' for the right environment to arise, or whether they evolved alleles of genes able immediately to make use of an existing environment is merely academic. Evolution is always environmentally driven since that is what selects for differential success. This is how genetic variance is selected by an environment and why the gene pool moves towards fitness for survival and makes a species appear 'fine tuned' for its environment. Essentially, the argument reduces to one of timing, not about the mechanism itself.
The Collared dove is a pretty little example of how this evolution happened very recently and very rapidly. In North America you can look forward to seeing it soon if you don't see it already. In Europe you should be so used to seeing it now that you take it for granted and maybe assume it was always present. Some of us are old enough to have seen it arrive.
The newly-evolved, range-expanding form of the Eurasian Collared Dove, coming soon to a garden near you. Evolution in our lifetime.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that you have spelled Collared Dove as Collard Dove in places.
Rosa Rubicondior 18 April 2013 at 18:36
Thanks. I spotted those later and corrected them but I don't think RSS feeds update with corrections. The spell checker didn't pick them up as I think collards are some sort of cabbage greens in America :-)

Answer: What came from the mine?
Sorry about taking an extra day to give you the answer. These days are busy, and sometimes things get slightly out of hand.
The real reason... I'm busy reshooting videos for the refresh of our "Power Searching with Google" MOOC (online class). If you missed it on the earlier passes, there will be another chance for you to take it beginning around mid-April. Stay tuned—I'll be sure to let you know exactly when it is. (But in the meantime, that's what's consuming all of my time these days.)
On to our search challenge…
Recall that the questions were (1) When did the mine open? And, (2) What was mined here?
First, you have to realize that the GPS data wasn't quite right. Once you've extracted the lat/long from the EXIF data, you'll quickly see that there's no labyrinth exactly at that location. The quarry hole and labyrinth are actually at: 37.853058, -122.190440 (I assume you figured that out and just panned around the location in Maps for a minute before finding the actual location).
By looking at the map I could easily tell that this location is part of the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, which is a beautiful open-space preserve run by East Bay Regional Park District.
So I started with the obvious query:
[ Sibley Volcanic Regional Park history ]
I then did:
[ "round top" intext:quarry sibley ]
and found an article in BayNature (a local natural history magazine) that mentions the quarry was "Kaiser Sand and Gravel." (I later watched a video that was posted on the Sibley Parks page where naturalist Steve Edwards says the same thing. See: http://science.kqed.org/quest/science-hike/sibley-volcanic-regional-preserve-exploration/ )
Now we have our first clue: The quarry was the "Kaiser Sand and Gravel" company.
I know that counties often track industrial sites and mines are often described (for historical reasons) as being in a particular county. So after looking at my map to see what county the Sibley Preserve was in (A: Contra Costa) my next query was:
[ Kaiser quarry Contra Costa ]
Which led me to a remarkable map at Mindat.org (a site that compiles information about mines—who knew there would be such a resource!) http://www.mindat.org/loc-3448.html#themap
A quick look at the map, however, tells me there are TWO mines/quarries in that immediate vincinity. The "Henry J Kaiser Company Mine" (aka "Kaiser Sand and Gravel) AND the "Tunnel Rock" mine. Let's check out these alternate lead.
A search for:
[ "Tunnel Rock" mine Contra Costa ]
leads me to http://mineral-resources.findthedata.org/l/112485/Tunnel-Rock, which gives me the lat/log (37.855202, -122.201851) for the Tunnel Rock min and a description of what they mined ("construction sand and gravel; broken stone")
Well… THAT's interesting! Is it really the same mine by two different names? Doing the same thing for:
[ "Kaiser * mine" Contra Costa gravel ]
show a few additional results. (Since there are SO many Kaiser mines, I had to add in "gravel" to limit my search to something managable).
Looking at the content, I see much of the data comes from the book: "Mines and mineral resources of Contra Costa County" (1958) – alas, it's not available on the web. (I discover later that this book is an extract from "California Journal of Mines and Geology, volume 47 (1951)"… also not available on the web.)
BUT I can find a copy in the library! (And I'll head over to Stanford later this week to see if I can find it in the stacks.)
I still haven't figured out if this is a different mine, or the same mine. Searching for
[ "henry j Kaiser company mine" ]
(a variant phrase I picked up from reading), I find another resource http://www.mindat.org/loc-76633.html that gives me the lat/long for this mine: 37°51'36", -122°12'1"
Continuing my search, I find another good hit at http://minerals.livescience.com/l/28961/Henry-J-Kaiser-Company that repeats what we saw earlier—that the quarry was used for broken rock, sand, and gravel.
So… after much looking around, I discover that there are actually TWO mines near that location. There's a great page on Mindat.org that shows the distance between the mines: http://www.mindat.org/usdistance.php?loc=76663 (shows that Tunnel Rock and Henry J Kaiser Company mines are within 1700 feet of each other). Their map shows it like this:
And the Kaiser mine:
Here's my Google Maps version of the two mines.
The Kaiser mine is the red arrow, and the Tunnel Rock mine is in blue.
So now… when did they open?
Like other readers, I've only been able to find a few clues here and there. I found a couple of hiking guide books that claim the mines were opened in the 1930s… but they don't say where THEY found that information, so I'm worried that the reliability might not be very high.
And when I look at this location with Google Earth (using the Time Slider), I see the following images—from 1939, 1993, and 2002.
So… I'm a little stuck here. I think we'll have to find an additional source of information. Were these mines REALLY active between sometime between 1993 and 2002? OR… is the Google Earth image for 1993 just mislabeled??
More research is required! Ideally, we'd like to find a different aerial archive image with dates in the 1930s and '40s; or maybe someone's first-person account of mining in this area.
The labyrinth: By the way, the labyrinth is the work of Helena Mazzariello: see her page on the labyrinths at http://home.earthlink.net/~friendsofthelabyrinth/
Result: Still searching!

Hi Dr. Russell.
Searching found some data. I will search more.
["Kaiser Sand and Gravel" basalt quarry california Round top] to find: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1683&dat=20050424&id=WbwaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=P0UEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6596,2732370. It says Kaiser sold the quarry in 1977 to the park district.

Here it says ThatKaiser Quarry opened 1954. I believe is another quarry because it doesn´t tell us more. It also mentions Tunnel Rock in the same year.
maca March 22, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Querying the quarry, mine is mine?
Searched for ["tunnel rock" site:ftp.consrv.ca.gov] (a resource I found yday after long searching) and reached the following info:
Mineral Information Service August 1, 1956
ftp://ftp.consrv.ca.gov/pub/dmg/pubs/cg/1956/09_08.pdf
"ROCK PRODUCTS IN CONTRA COSTA
Rock products continue to be the leading mineral
commodity produced in Contra Costa County. Five
crushed rock plants are qperating, of which three
are comparatively new. These are the Kaiser and
Pacific Coast Aggregate quarries located close to
one another near Clayton,and the Tunnel Rock quarry located near the east end of the Broadway tunnel.
The Kaiser quarry is a relatively new operation
while Pacific Coast Aggregates took over the old
Harrison-Birdwell quarry. Both quarries have been
operating since January 1954 producing unwashed aggregate from black igneous rocks of the Franciscan formation (Jurassic ?). The aggregate is used predominantly for road base. Each plant has a capacity of 250 tons of crushed rock per hour .
For the past few years crushed rock has been
produced from the volcanic rocks of the Moraga for mation (Pliocene) at the Tunnel Rock quarry in the hills southeast of the Broadway tunnel. Unwashed volcanic rock is crushed for road base at an estimated rate of 100 tons an hour . Some large boulders are also quarried for riprap."
So it seems the quarry opened in the 50s.
Daniel M. Russell March 23, 2013 at 7:14 AM
Excellent find. Can you say how you found ftp.consrv.ca.gov?
maca March 23, 2013 at 8:35 AM
Yes, I searched for ["kaiser sand" 1977 site:ca.gov] or something similar on ca.gov and found some interesting pdf. The address looked yummy so I went through the dirs of the domain and saved it for later research.
remmij March 23, 2013 at 5:59 PM
checked out the link provided by maca that references a Kaiser quarry and an RCM operation of the former Harrison-Birdwell quarry that are "near" each other and the "Tunnel Rock quarry located near the east end of the Broadway tunnel."This site actually appears to be in SF, south of Russian Hill - the location of the Broadway Tunnel.
Looking at these 3 locations seemed to indicate they were all out of the area (Sibley) in question. The Kaiser site mentioned, as well as the H-B site were south-east of Concord, on the east & south end side of Mt. Diablo State Park.
Clayton/Concord area
H-B Clayton quarry site
Broadway Tunnel location
Broadway Tunnel
part of the problem seems to be the large number of quarry operations that have existed and continue to operate to this day, under companies that have had their ownership/names changed repeatedly.
Thought you might be interested to see that the Caldecott Tunnel expansion continues present day. Also included a link to the quarry outside Cupertino because it contains some history and illustrates the point.
Caldecott 4th bore
Caldecott history
Cupertino quarry(Kaiser)
This is starting to raise the question of the value of information - what's worth finding and when....
I know this falls in the speculative realm, but a couple of things seem plausible - given the visual state of the quarry area and Sibley's history (renamed after Sibley following his death in 1958, previously Round Top Regional Park, one of the first three parks of the East Bay Regional Parks District -1936. It would seem reasonable from a liability standpoint that private enterprise mining operations wouldn't be occurring in areas open to the general public.
It would also seem likely that a large percentage of the product produced out of the two quarries was used in the Caldecott Tunnel project - indeed, as you discovered, one of the quarries was named "Tunnel Rock Mine". The Caldecott project started the first two bores in 1929 and completed that phase in 1937 and that time frame would/could roughly correspond with the quarries in question being in operation. Not definitive, but seems reasonable.
Also am curios where the early aerials come from for the Google Maps views 1938 would note there seems to be a lack of machinery in those images.
quarry conditions
Round Top Regional Park
You know, that's what I was thinking too. The Caldecott tunnel is a big project nearby that was going on at about the same time. But I can't prove it... yet.
jack gondela March 23, 2013 at 3:51 AM
I believe you can see the mine in the 1993 photo, it is just so much lower quality that it is hard to see. There is a white area on the right side of the mine visible as well as the cliff to the left(southwest) of the pit.
I'm still looking for better images of the area in that time.
Ajay March 23, 2013 at 6:14 AM
Dan, would you mind quickly elaborating on why you decided to use the "intext" operator in this query of yours:
Sure... There are LOTS of things called "round top" in the world. And there are even a fair number of pages with "Round top" and Sibley in them, as that's the name of a mountain ("Round Top") in the Sibley park. But if I require that the word "quarry" be on the page, then that will give me ONLY pages that have the word "quarry" on them. In other words, it really reduces the number of false positives (that is, pages that look good, but don't actually have anything on them about quarries).
I also experimented with [ "round top" intext:quarry OR intext:mine OR intext:mining sibley ] -- but it turned out to be overkill. Didn't need to go that far.
Rosemary M March 23, 2013 at 7:26 AM
Okay totally off topic but actually is interesting. It appears to be FBI files on the Zodiac Murder and Robert Sibley Volcano Preserve is mentioned if you want a break. I will let you guys argue out your findings on the mines and quarries of the area. We seem to be spreading out the possibilities rather than focusing closer which allows for more vague leads. But I hope Dr. Dan is able to find firm evidence at the university.

Found: http://www.fotothing.com/alden/photo/ba2e21b90220918d031e66da71a5984a/
Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, in the Oakland hills. View north. The two peaks in the distance are Grizzly Peak (l) and Vollmer Peak (r). The foreground has equipment pads related to the Kaiser lava-rock quarry that was here for about 75 years. The basalt beds hold up the ridge on the right and are extensively quarried, revealing deep cross sections of a small volcano that existed here about 10 million years ago. Since that time the volcano and the sedimentary rocks beneath it have been folded and tilted eastward. You can see the layering of the sedimentary rocks in the nearmost ridge. Conglomerate rock has less soil and dries out brown, while the shales retain water better and support thicker growth. You can see the rocks are now tilted almost vertically. State route 24 runs behind the ridge in the middle distance, entering the Caldecott Tunnel under the ridge just off to the left.
Photo taken in 2005; quarry that was here for about 75 years => quarry opened in the 1930s (but no "scientific" proof).
Unfortunately no lat/long coordinates from the EXIF data.
Here's a recap of the Caldecott Tunnel Construction
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1sx0iUA-aNRbGl2NlVuOEdPa28/edit?usp=sharing
And here's an article that connects Kaiser to the Caldecott Tunnel contract.
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/TUNNEL-VISION-The-traffic-jams-started-the-day-2791228.php
"As we all know, the Broadway site won out, and in 1934 $2.8 million in bonds were sold, $1 million in federal money was secured and a $3.7 million bid by Six Companies of California, the consortium that built Hoover Dam, was selected by Joint Highway District 13, the local agency formed to build the tunnel."
Note in the above the mention of the Six Companies Group(which I know from earlier research was actually 8 companies) and Henry Kaiser was the lead negotiator for this group. From the research we may be assuming Kaiser Sand and Gravel owned the quarry in question, but I think it's possible that it was one of the other 7 companies in this group of companies. It may have just been recorded in history inaccurately.
That's all I found and perhaps it will help complete the search.
Just when I thought I was done..
One more tidbit
http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/index.php/project-overview/history-caldecott
"Construction of the Broadway Low Level Tunnel began in 1934. However, the contractor, the Six-Man Company, was unable to complete the construction stages in a timely manner. With 68 percent of the project complete, the contract was broken down into smaller contracts and awarded to individual companies to complete the project."

Under the adagio "if you don't know the answer, try to find someone else who knows" I contacted the several times mentioned Dr. Stephen W. Edwards ( Botanic Garden Director, Regional Parks Botanic Garden, Berkeley) who mapped the geology of these hills in 1982. Dr. Edwards was several times trip leader in geological field trips: http://www.diggles.com/pgs/2004/PGS04-05a_Sibley/PGS04-05a_Sibley.pdf
This morning I got his answer: "Sorry, I have not involved myself with the history, only the geology".
Alas; we have to dig further.

Just checking in to see how others have done. I startedvto wonder what road materials would havebeen use in the tunnel construction. In addition to below I found basalt was used in paving blocks which I believe was used in the tunnelcin 1930's. Not much to add but following excerpts...
Query[history basalt california]
http://quarriesandbeyond.org/states/ca/stone_industry/ca-stone_indust_upto1950_2.html
"By 1913 approximately 74 quarries were in operation in the San Francisco Bay area. Of these, 43 percent produced paving blocks; 30 percent, building blocks; 25 percent, crushed stone used for concrete and road metal; and 2 percent, abrasives including ground pumicite."
"(Circa 1950)California has the largest commercial output of rock products of any of the 48 states. It is far ahead of any other state in production of sand and gravel, and ranks near the top in production of crushed and broken stone. Of the total rock products produced in the state about one-third comes from the San Francisco Bay counties"

Hello Dr. Russell, Rosemary and fellow Searchers!!
There used CTRl-F "quarry" to find Henry John Kaiser biography. 1923:Started Sand and gravel quarry at Radum (near Livermore), to supply the Livermore-Pleasanton paving job. This was the beginning of Kaiser Sand and Gravel Company.
I wrote to "Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve" and thet sent a document in which they bought abandonded quarry in 1977.
PS. Rosemary, I just read your message from the books post. I'd like to learn more with you and maybe work together in thex challenges if you want. Do you have G+? How can I contact you. Have a great week

I recently talked about how my counselor asked me to discuss why I fear becoming better than I am. I still don't entirely know what I fear, and I need to continue to explore that. One of the biggest issues I run into is that I easily start looking at it from an analytical outside perspective. I can name all sorts of "logical" and "probable" reasons, but when I stop stepping back and analyzing, when I just think about what actually drives me, the analytical psychobabble no longer sounds reasonable.
But my counselor also asked me to do something else. She asked me to think about what I consider ideal, how I want my house to be kept, and then make a cost/benefit analysis exploring the costs and benefits of succeeding at keeping my house the way I want it.
My ideal house, believe it or not, would NOT be immaculate. As I've said several times before, I strive for balance. I'm terrible at balance, I have no idea how to actually achieve balance, I don't even always know what is too far one way or the other much less what to do about it. But I do strive for balance.
So no, my ideal house would not be immaculate. It would be a place where you can be comfortable walking in and just plopping. A place welcoming to everyone. Not a place where no extra item can ever be collected. Not a place where things are wasted because recycling (in-home recycling, I mean) could eventually lead to hoarding. Not a place of fear. I don't want to fear becoming my parents, nor do I want to fear becoming a neurotic minimalist who will freak out to realize she has two items in her house that haven't been used in at least a month and therefore must be completely useless.
My ideal house would have clean dishes and clean floors and clean laundry that's folded and put away where it belongs. It would have no more than one load of dishes or laundry backed up, but that doesn't mean that every dish needs to be washed the second it's dirty, or that every article of dirty clothing should be put right into the washer so that it can be washed.
My ideal house would not be a stressful place of must-keep-everything-clean-at-all-times. There can be children's toys on the floor, but they should be picked up before bed. There can be messes made while cooking, but they should be cleaned up when the cooking is done. Or when the eating is done. Or at least by the next day, but only for special occasions.
My ideal house would be sanitary. But it would not be a show house. It would be lived-in. It would be a place people could come and not worry about the dishes they're eating off of, or even they're sitting in. But they also wouldn't worry about the food that dripped on the table while they were eating, or about a throw getting rumpled when they sat on the couch.
A worry-free, stress-free place–that would be my ideal house.
I'm sorry for my long absence between posts. I have been . . . well, avoiding this. Not because I don't want to write. Certainly not because I don't have anything to write.
But because I have a specific assignment to write. My counselor wants me to write about why I'm afraid. And I don't want to.
Again, not because I don't want to write about it. But because I've been mulling it over and over, and I just can't seem to figure it out.
This isn't just about any fear. This is specifically about my struggles with improving, with getting past things, with keeping a house the way I want a house and not falling into old patterns. This is specifically about why trying to be better than I am causes anxiety, and about the fear that drives that.
So now it's time to face my fear. To discover my fear. To seek the knowledge I need.
I know this: I fear failing, and I fear succeeding. I tend to go to extremes. I often feel like I can only go two ways–I can be fighting a downward spiral, or I can be in a sort of neurosis. I can be worse than I want to be, or I can be . . . well, worse than I want to be. I can dwell in a mess–yes, better than the one I grew up in, but not actually the environment I want–or I can become obsessed with keeping everything clean all the time.
Because of all the things that I never learned growing up, the one that I have most entirely never learned is balance. I don't want to trade one dictator for another, so to speak. That's what I fear. I fear not striking a healthy balance.
Over the next few days, I fully intend to write more on this subject. We'll see if it actually happens. Facing fears is hard.
I recently learned an interesting fact about worms. Apparently, they're afraid of the light because if they spend an hour in direct light, they become paralyzed.
Now, this was just a fun fact in a book of "would you rather . . . ?" type questions. I haven't checked it anywhere else. I don't know the reasoning behind it. I don't know if it applies only to certain types of worms. For all I know, that could be a myth. Maybe they actually become dehydrated and can't move, rather than simply becoming paralyzed.
What I do know is this: it sounds a lot like me.
No, not literally. But I have this constant fear of being who I believe I'm able to be. I have this sense of not belonging in a house that's well-kept. And I feel paralyzed when it comes to certain decisions, or even just to pushing myself to do what I know I need to.
I would like to take a moment to just specify: most people reading this already know I'm a Christian. But I am not using the word "light" here in the Christian sense of talking about being the light of the world, dwelling in the light of God, etc. I'm just using it as a metaphor for for keeping a clean house, making wise decisions with finances, and just generally living well.
My counselor was here this morning helping me with my house and talking to me about how I can learn to be more consistent. How to do what I know I need to, what I want to, but what I never seem able to do. Question after question about why I struggle, what I think I need in order to succeed, what my belief system is about keeping a clean house–not the belief I claim or the belief I want, but the belief I live out.
I was about a hair's breadth from bawling. I was feeling anxiety rise up inside me. Partly from the questions, and partly as I saw that we were nearing the end of a task. When it comes to household tasks like dishes and laundry, I have a very hard time finishing them. I feel out of place, almost anxious, if there isn't a single dirty dish, if the laundry basket is completely empty, if everything is actually in its place. I'm a worm, afraid of the light. Afraid of becoming paralyzed in it. Logical? Not at all. But I am.
I wanted to scream, "STOP! I can't do this anymore! That's enough for today–nay, too much! I can't keep going!" But I didn't. Because [warning: new simile coming, entirely unrelated to worms and light] I know that I can't stop when I get close. It's like exercising. You can't stop right when you start to feel the burn, or you'll never do any more than what you start out able to do.
You know the funny thing? And I use the word "funny" to mean "weird," "illogical," "irrational," "ridiculous," and possibly even downright "stupid." The funny thing is, I don't think I was born to be a worm afraid of the light. I think I was born to be something more–something that thrives in light. But I was raised to believe that the light is bad, or at the very least, that the light is unattainable. That no matter how much I want the light, I can never go into the light for any length of time. So now, even though I know that the light is really good for me, I have a deep-seated phobia of ever dwelling in it.
So even though it hurts, even though every little extra ray of light makes me want to cry, "STOP! I can't take it anymore!" I will keep going. Because I know–I may not feel, but I know–that the light really is good. It really is the place I want to live the rest of my life. And it really is possible.

Going Door-to-Door For Laughs
WFAE | By Krista Cassidy
Published April 14, 2014 at 5:31 PM EDT
So, you want to make it in showbiz. Your plan would more than likely look something like this: Move to Hollywood, work a string of odd jobs, and become familiar with rejection.
In this story, Krista Cassidy looks at how a Charlotte comedy duo are trying to make it big from their hometown.
Rachel Woodhouse and Justin Smith are always taking their show on the road. It's called Door-to-Door. This week's stop is an unassuming business park in South Charlotte that's serving as a set.
Woodhouse and Smith are the creators and stars of Door-to-Door. It's a mockumentary-style web series about life in door-to-door sales.
Smith knows this life. He used to sell a book series door-to-door called "Everything You Need to Know To Pass Grade School and High School."
Woodhouse is a stand-up comedian who performs at several clubs in Charlotte. She and Smith met in an acting class. They have big dreams for this show.
"Right now, the episodes are 7 to 15 minutes because they're made for the internet but they have plenty of content for a 22-minute episode for a TV show or Netflix or something along those lines," Woodhouse says.
But you have to crawl before you walk, so they post episodes on their web site, called thebestseriesever.com.
This might sound like a fledgling operation – and to some extent it is. But, there are a lot of people who have shown faith in them through a 30-day Kickstarter campaign. If you're unfamiliar with how Kickstarter works, you pitch your project through its web site and supporters donate money. But there is a catch – you only get to keep the money if you raise the amount you're seeking. It's all or nothing. Woodhouse and Smith posted their pilot episode, and raised $20,000.
"It's awesome to have people who believe and support you that much. I think it was a great idea to do the pilot first so people could see it and want more," Woodhouse says between shooting an episode about a fed-up co-worker who quits by Post-It note.
They plan to film 21 episodes for the show's first season – and then each episode is posted on their web site as soon as it's produced.
Some episodes are based on Justin's experience as a door-to-door salesman. For example, there was the time when an ex-girlfriend answered the door.
"I feel like my strong suit is just taking all of it and organizing it. She comes up with all the great stuff," Smith said. "She's hilarious and she's constantly coming up with brilliant ideas."
One of those ideas concerns money. Product-placement is nothing new, but she wants to kick it up a notch and have their characters selling a real product.
"Right now we've got made-up companies that we're representing, or selling for - there's always the opportunity for companies to actually have us selling their stuff on the show," Woodhouse says
And like any good sales team, they have goals.
First, gain a following on their own web site.
And then, who knows? Maybe they land a deal in which another web site or possible a network sponsors them.

A new cam is replacing deer cam.
Thank you, Garina! Great lighting at night--something to watch in the evening.
Great screenshot of the beaver, and I love your pictures of the owl. Everything was pretty quiet through the night--I didn't hear any diving or see any movement. Some geese flew over around 3:30 a.m. and a duck was quacking, quacking, quacking just before daylight. Maybe we will get to see the beaver a little better in Monday's daylight.
Cool pics of the owl!!
It is midnight and a lot of little fish are swimming around tonight at the bottom of the screen while a cow is "moo"ing in the distance.
This mom has an easier time than the storks. Just bring the little ones down to the water to feed themselves.
Wow! So many little ducks. I rarely see any animal in beaver cam. This morning (around 4 am in Estonia) we could hear lots of birds singing and also ducks but none at sight.
It's really interesting to see this cam in the end of the day: it is very noisy with lots of birds "discussing"
This cam is quite strange. There are always wonderful sound of different birds but badgers are invisible. One of this nights maybe I saw one but I'm not that sure.
But it is also possible to see fishermans: aren't the badgers afraid of them?
Very odd noises in the cam: maybe cows?
yes, very strange noises, but seems, this cam sound hear even movement of dust particles but some noises are like metallic?

Based on my shallow knowledge of the comic universe, Guardians of The Galaxy was a lesser known comic among Marvel's more popular creation such as X-Men, The Avengers, Spiderman etc. I was skeptical about the movie & reluctant to part ways with my cash for a pair of movie tickets. Upon hearing rave reviews, WL & I took the plunge & joined in the crowd.
We were pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the movie. It was pure entertainment from start to end with no signs of dullness. Although the characters were not easily recognised, it didn't take long for me to warm up to the characters. The slapstick humour coupled with action packed sequence makes up the joy ride of these band of misfits.
You must be thinking hard who these misfits are & I'd agree, it can be quite baffling not knowing some info bits about the characters. Below is a quick guide to satisfy your curiosity (taken mostly from Wikipedia).
Peter Quill aka Starlord (Chris Pratt)
A half-human, half-alien leader of the Guardians who were abducted from Earth as a child & raised by a group of alien thieves & smugglers known as Ravagers.
Gamora (Zoe Saldana)
An alien orphan who was adopted & trained by Thanos to be his personal assassin. Joined the Guardians out of coincidence & is seeking redemption for past crimes.
Drax The Destroyer (Dave Bautista)
A warrior seeking vengeance against Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace) for killing his family.
Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper)
A genetically engineered raccoon who became a bounty hunter & mercenary, an expert in weapons & battle tactics.
Groot (voice & performance capture by Vin Diesel)
A tree-like humanoid who is Rocket's sidekick. Has the ability to grow in size.
See what I mean by a band of misfits. You'd never imagine them gang up & save the world galaxy from the baddies. And what's really refreshing is the awesome tunes from the 60s & 70s played throughout the film. Apparently, the movie soundtrack topped the Billboard charts, an amazing feat for all the songs which never really made it to the charts during their heydays. The power of media & pop culture (in this case, comic related films which Marvel Studios has been cashing in recent years) can certainly bring something/someone out of obscurity.
It's not a movie without loopholes but it's barely noticeable. For the most part, you'll come out the cinema smiling corner to corner for the randomness & hilarity. By the way, Chris Pratt has given me renewed hopes that even a rather obese man like him can turn around to become an overnight star with hot bod. Now's that inspiring for my darling, WL.

A lecture hall, reminiscent of days gone by.
New perspectives and a fresh point of view.
As I explained during the last post, I've been temping for some time now. Being someone that more or less walked into a job straight out of university (don't let me downplay the sheer graft and hardwork that went into landing that job!), and never really took the time out to re-evaluate things and figure out what I wanted along the way, for me right now, temping has been a dream. The first major benefit is the weekly pay. I love it! Another benefit, and the real reason I began temping, is the ability to try out different careers, pretty much risk-free.
Temping isn't without its disadvantages though – namely job security. At a time when the global economy is unstable and inflation is increasing at an alarming rate, having a regular income is a necessity. And the thing about temping is, sick days aren't billable (not really, anyway), so, in simple terms – if you don't work, you don't eat.
As a consequence of this, and partly due to me being flattered at the overwhelming job requests and interest I've had, I've been slightly overdoing it. Putting in long hours and doing overtime (literally 13hr days where I used to only work for 7), routinely working through lunch and not taking breaks, and letting the concept of sleep become a myth. Seriously, sleep is a distant dream to me right now! My bank balance looks the healthiest that it has done in awhile, but physically, I feel drained.

Leader development is absolutely a process; it must occur daily, not in a day. As we've explored throughout this series so far, leaders need to create and maximize the types and quantities of touchpoints for leader development. On-the-job development, coaching, and feedback are great ways we can routinely develop our emerging leaders amidst our day-to-day duties. However, I believe it is also important to carve out dedicated time and space for deliberate leader development, where our people take a pause from the busyness of day-to-day work and focus on our collective leader development. This calls for formal leaders to create a leader development program (LPD) within their organization, which is the third method outlined in our 3×5 Leader Development Matrix.
Deliberate leader development programs primarily attend to the "new knowledge and capacities" and "reflection" components of the Leader Development Process Model that we discussed in part 4 of this series. Development program sessions can provide new knowledge and ways of thinking to our leaders, making them more equipped to lead and perform within the organization. Sessions can also support reflection, allowing our leaders to discuss, make sense of, and learn from our collective experiences.
Our LPDs need to be purposeful; we cannot merely take our peoples' time for program sessions if they don't actually make our growing leaders better. We first need to set the program's goals and desired end state, which should be growing our leaders along our defined development domains from the Leader Development Matrix. By assessing our leaders' developmental needs in-line with our organization's domains, we can create a leader development program that makes our leaders, and thus, or organization better. Before diving into the details and logistics of an LPD, leaders must define their program goals and end state, and then backwards plan based off a needed or desired "leader delivery date" of skills and knowledge. This helps ensure sessions are integrated and build off of one another.
Lecture: There is value in an experienced subject-matter-expert imparting their knowledge on the leaders in the organization. These are the most challenging in keeping the audience engaged, so leaders must ensure they are relevant, time controlled, and dynamic for our people.
Workshop / discussion: Collaborative sessions best engage our leaders and also enables them to learn from one another. Workshops and discussions can allow our leaders to learn a new way of thinking then work together to apply it to the organization or their small teams. More specifically, we can use workshop-style opportunities to introduce a simple new way of thinking for leaders and have them diagnose the organization through that new lens. For example, leaders can teach Schein's three levels of an organization (references here and here) and then have people diagnose the organization within those three levels, ultimately determining if our espoused values and beliefs are in-line with our enacted ones, and if our artifacts support them or not. Moreover, leaders can teach a new skill and use collaborative discussion for people to practice it within the workshop to demonstrate competence in this new area.
Organizational reflection: I use this phrase to define how leaders can create dedicated time and space for our people to reflect on how the organization is collectively performing. For example, every quarter, I meet with my USMA Cadets to review how our company is performing during the semester; we meet mid-semester and end-of-semester. During these sessions, I ask specific questions regarding our espoused vision, goals, and priorities to have them assess our performance in those areas. The goal is for the Cadets to walk away from the session with specific ideas on how we can re-align or improve our progress towards those goals.
Developmental relationship opportunities: Finally, leaders can fence off time and space for people to engage in deliberately development relationships such as coaching and mentorship. Leaders can make these types of relationships formal in the organization by establishing the relationships and then creating opportunities to meet. Leaders can designate peer coaching relationships and then create the LPD sessions for those pairs to meet, talk, learn, and reflect. The same can be done for mentorship relationships, which we explore in the next part to this Leader Development Handbook.
Define our audiences: Different levels of leaders need different types of development. Narrowing session audience members helps manage the session size and improves the developmental relevance to the intended people. Consider creating different developmental programs for different levels of leaders. For example, an Army battalion can create an officer development program, a mid-grade NCO program (E-5 to E-7 possibly), junior leader program (company-grade officers and NCOs), junior Soldiers, etc. Managing a portfolio of development programs, then, requires leaders to carefully control the frequency of those program meetings to ensure sustainability and quality.
Frequency: Find a session frequency that is effective and sustainable. Depending on your audience's size and level(s) within the organization, consider weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or even quarterly. Ensuring the frequency is sustainable is vital for the program's success and quality. But, considering minimal possible time windows between sessions is important for team building and improving the organization's collective development and identity. Balance is key.
Location: Ensure your selected meeting location supports the type of session. An auditorium may work great for a developmental lecture, but would be not ideal for a workshop where people are trying to collaborate. Ensure your venue supports the session's needs. Moreover, consider conducting sessions off-site from work. This helps reduce work distractions, keeping people focused on the deliberate development at hand. Off-site sessions at the end of a work day can further support social gatherings after adding an important social component to the development.
Who's in charge: Consider rotating responsible teams and leaders who are responsible for the sessions. Having the same instructor for every session may bore leaders and limit learning diversity. Rotating other leaders and teams within your organization to lead these sessions becomes a developmental aspect in itself, forcing others to prepare, master certain topics, and teach. It helps spread the developmental wealth.
Leader and leadership development: As discussed in part 5 of this Handbook, there is a difference between leader development and leadership development. Just as in our other developmental methods, leaders must ensure we are attending to both types of development through their developmental programs.
Understand the time requirement: Planning and preparing for developmental sessions requires a considerable time commitment from leaders. It demands that we define the session's goals, create the session outline, conduct content research, prepare session products and resources, rehearse, schedule things like venues, and so on. Ensure you are able to dedicate the necessary time to make session meetings quality and worth our peoples' time. This is why making session frequency sustainable is so important. More is not necessarily better if it compromises session quality.
Ensure you communicate perspective: Because we created the program and the supporting developmental sessions, it's easy for leaders to assume that our people understand why we are conducting these events and why we are talking on the selected topics. Leaders cannot assume our peoples' contextual understanding for each session. We need to intentionally communicate the purpose for each session, showcasing how these fit within their overall development and performance as emerging leaders within our unique organizational context.
Pre- & homework: To reinforce comprehension and provide application repetition, I encourage leaders to consider assigning pre- or homework before / after sessions when appropriate. This helps place added responsibility on our developing leaders, improving their stake in the session and challenging them to incorporate it into their performance after.
Remember, merely getting your leaders together in a room once a month does not equal leader development. However, it is an essential component to create deliberate time and space to best support the leader development process.
The next part to our 3×5 Leader Development Handbook looks at the final method in the Leader Development Matrix: mentorship. We will explore how leaders can best leverage these important relationships in support of their overall leader development process.
As always, lead well, friends!

Python is a high-level programming language that is widely used in various kinds of programming activities. Python is known for its object-oriented and interpreted features which make it dynamic. Python enables distinct programming on both smaller and large scale as it has a user-friendly and compact module, which increases the efficiency of applications. Python is mainly used for web-building applications and carrying out many automation activities of cloud and system. It has found its latest application in designing Artificial Intelligence.
Future Scope Of Python in India
Python is standout amongst the most common coding dialects of 2015. Close by the being an abnormal state and universally useful programming dialect, Python is likewise a protest arranged and open source. At the comparable time, a commendable number of engineers across the world have been making utilization of Python to make GUI applications and versatile applications.
It is one of the quickest developing dialects and has experienced an effective range of over 25 years to the extent its selection is concerned.
The programming dialect is by and by being utilized by various high-movement sites including Google, Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Maps, Shopzilla, and Web Therapy. Essentially, Python additionally finds endless use for making gaming, budgetary, logical, and informative applications.
This accomplishment also reveals a promising future degree of python programming lingo.
Why Python is so Popular?
The main reason behind the immense popularity of python programming language across the globe is the features it provides which can be followed as:-
Python supports multiple programming paradigm - Python is multi-paradigm programming language which has features like object-oriented, imerative, procedural, functional, reflective, etc.
Easy to code and write - Python has a simple, easy and readable code as compared to other programming languages like C, C++, JAVA .
Python has a rich and supportive community - The greatest part of other programming dialects have unpins issues. Also, some of them lack in the documentation which makes it difficult for a programmer to build his project. Python doesn't have these issues. It has been work for a long time, so there are plenty of documentation, tutorials, guides and so much more to help a programmer. Also, it has a rich and active community who ensures to provide help and supports to the developers. So, the community consist of many experienced developers and programmer who provides support at any time.
Python contains fewer lines of code - In python programming language codes are written complete in fewer lines thus reducing the efforts of programmers.
Standard Library - Python comes with a huge standard library through which eliminate the efforts to write a function or code. The library consists of many inbuilt functions and pre-written codes, so it is not necessary to have to write a code for every single thing.
Python is accessible -For newcomers and beginners, Python is incredibly easy to learn and use. In fact, it's one of the most accessible programming languages available. Part of the reason is the simplified syntax with an emphasis on natural language. But it's also because you can write Python code and execute it much faster. Whatever the case, it's a great language for beginners, so it's where a lot of young developers are getting their start. More importantly, experienced developers aren't left by the wayside, as there's plenty to do.
The sudden upturn in Python Language
Be that as it may, python has executed in the year 1980 it isn't well known among designer. In the 21st century, Google made a few deviation in python basic rationale which enhanced its execution and power.
The primary explanation behind python acknowledgement is DATA SCIENCE. Information science and machine learning are may be viewed as the principle driver of its quick advancement.
These reasons have given a sudden boost to the scope of python programming language and it is good for you if you are getting trained in it.
Use of Python in:
Python is an open source and object-oriented programming language which is used for many several purposes:
➤Website programming development
➤Desktop application development
➤GUI application development
➤Writing system administration software
➤Used as the scripting language for SIMP, blender, open office etc
➤Use of python in software testing
Integrating Python with Other Languages:
Python can also be integrating with other languages. There are some mechanisms used to integrate python with another language such as
Iron Python – Implementation of Python running on the CLR.
Jython – Provides an implementation of the JVM
Improved Wrapper and Interface Generator – permits you to interop between C based languages and others, including.Net and Java.
Future Technologies Counting On python
For the most part we have seen that python programming dialects is probably utilized for wave improvement applications advancement Framework organisation creating recreations and so on.
Artificial intelligence python programming dialect is without a doubt rulling alternative dialects when future advances like Artificial Intelligence(AI) comes into the play.There is a long list of Python frameworks, libraries, and tools that are created to direct Artificial Intelligence to reduce human efforts with enhanced accuracy and efficiency for development.
With the help of AI, speech recognition, autonomous cars and data interpretation have become possible.
Big Data The future extent of Python is clearly evident as it has helped big data technology to grow.
Python is successfully contributing to analyzing the number of data sets across computer clusters with the high-performance toolkit and libraries.
Python libraries and toolkits, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, NumPy, Bokeh, Agate, Dask.
Networking - Networking is where Python has a future scope as the language is used to read, write and configure routers while performing other networking functions cost-effectively.
Systems administration is another feild in which python has a more briliant extension later on.
Undoubtedly, the awesome benefits and performance of python and its libraries are working as the root of its constant growth.
This foundation is so strong, that almost all top-notch companies are using this language in their codebase.
Moreover, future technologies like AI and its subsets, big data and networking ensure a bright future for this programming tool. It's quite a secure and cost-effective programming language.
By seeing such large scale demand skilled professionals, it is rightly said that Python is actually the language of the FUTURE

Fiddler's Green (в пер. с англ. — «поляна скрипача») — вымышленное место, где находят последний приют погибшие моряки и солдаты.

Моряки
Фиддлерз Грин — «Зеленый рай» — то место, куда попадают лишь закалённые духом моряки, прошедшие через любые мыслимые опасности в море, пережившие все трудности и унижения жизни на кораблях. И, когда морской волк «рубит канаты» (уходит в загробную жизнь) он попадает в тихое и мирное место — «моряцкий рай» (плохие моряки отправляются в Рундук Дэви Джонса). В Фиддлерз Грин сбываются все мечты матроса о жизни после выхода в отставку — льётся ром, курится табак, мерцают огнями таверны и полно красивых и доступных женщин.

В романе Фредерика Марриета «Снарлейгоу, или Собака-дьявол» («Приключения собаки»)(1837), также упоминается моряцкий рай: «В зеленом раю, куда попадает настоящий моряк, выполнив свой долг, есть чаши, полные грога, и всё наполнено обещаниями любви и красоты».

Песня Джона Конолли «Fiddlers Green» (1966 г.) очень популярна в Великобритании. В ней поётся о том, что есть место, куда попадают моряки, «если не попадают в ад». Это тихая гавань, где матросы отдыхают, в то время как капитан подносит им чай.

В рассказе, опубликованном в 1832 говорится, что поляна Fiddler's Green расположена «в девяти милях от жилища Сатаны» На поляну попадают моряки, отслужившие 50 лет. Там всегда в достатке рома и табака.

Например в «Балладе о конвое HX84» есть строки:
 «Convoy dispersing» signals say,
 they flee like hell from here,
 as Jervis Bay steams through the fray
 to ram the mighty Scheer.
 Poor Jervis Bay has gone below
 as though she'd never been,
 she's gone to where good sailors go
 for berths in Fiddler's Green.

Bishop Montgomery has 1 of those nights
Bishop Montgomery's Devon Brookshire grabs a rebound away from Notre Dame's Kody Burke.
By Tony Ciniglio | Daily News
PUBLISHED: March 1, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 12:46 p.m.
The shot looked good from the moment it left the hands of Bishop Montgomery's Devon Brookshire.
The ball hit the front of the rim. Bounced against the backboard. Rolled around the rim for seemingly an eternity.
Then finally rolled out.
As third-seeded Notre Dame celebrated a 55-53 victory in the CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA semifinals on Saturday night at Redondo, the Bishop Montgomery players looked at the basket in disbelief.
On a night when nothing seemed to go in the basket for second-seeded Bishop Montgomery, the Knights couldn't even get the roll on the final shot that would have forced overtime against a team they beat handily twice in the regular season.
"I thought it was going to roll in for a second, but it didn't," said Brookshire, who led the Knights with 14 points. "Obviously we're kind of disappointed. We thought we'd go all the way and win a CIF championship. Things happen. They hit their shot and we didn't."
Notre Dame's Kody Burke, a 6-foot-1 junior who completely dominated with 23 points and seven blocks, had given Notre Dame the lead on a layup with 4.7 seconds left after a steal by Mel Madriaga.
Bishop Montgomery called a timeout.
Coach Bryn Britton said the plan was to get the ball to Brookshire or Kristen Ale for the final shot.
Taylor Sansbury passed the ball to Brookshire, who dribbled down court, freed herself for a 20-footer and launched it.
"That was it – it was a good shot," Britton said. "It was for Devon or Kristen. But it was one of those nights where Notre Dame hit everything they could and we didn't."
Britton said she is optimistic that Bishop Montgomery will earn a berth in the Division III state playoffs, but it did little to take the heartbreak out of this loss.
Bishop Montgomery will have to wait a full week before it learns its state fate.
"We're going to go back to practice Monday and make the best of it," said Sansbury, who had nine points. "It's going to be hard not knowing where we're going yet, but it will motivate us more to practice hard."
"It's OK to be disappointed because our girls are competitive, but it is not OK for them to be discouraged," Britton said. "They played their hearts out."
Bishop Montgomery (21-9) owned the first two meetings against Notre Dame, winning, 55-43, on Dec1 and again, 57-28, on Dec.31.
Bishop Montgomery's pressure defense continued to confound Notre Dame, forcing 26 turnovers.
But Notre Dame (24-7) shot 51.1 percent from the field (24-for-47) and held Bishop Montgomery to a paltry 31.7 percent (20-for-63). The Knights also were only 5-for-18 at the free-throw line.
"We had some silly mistakes," Britton said. "We missed some free throws, and whenever we'd force a turnover, we'd give it back over.
"But the girls played hard, and I'm always going to be proud of them."
Courtney Vendetti had 15 points for Notre Dame, and Sydney Hubbard had seven.
Bishop Montgomery made five 3-pointers to hang close, including a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer by Sansbury that tied the game at 27-27.
"It's really disappointing because we totally had this game," Sansbury said. "Our shots weren't falling, and they couldn't miss. Our 3-pointers kept us in it, but they didn't win it for us."
Tiffany Hicks scored 10 points for Bishop Montgomery, creating a lot of havoc with her aggressive drives to the basket.
Simone Turner added seven points, and Airiona Sampson scored six points for Bishop Montgomery, which boasts a young team that features just two seniors.
Brookshire is a freshman, Ale and Sansbury are sophomores and Hicks is a junior.
"We're going to be strong for years to come," Sansbury said. "We'll be back."

Scott's View
One of the favourite views of Sir Walter Scott, overlooking the valley of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders.
TravelCurious Tip
Try and pass the impressive Leaderfoot Viaduct on the approach from Newstead
Scott's View is a famous viewpoint in the Scottish Borders, about three miles east of Melrose. Overlooking the valley of the River Tweed, it is reputed to have been a favourite spot of the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott — hence the name.
The Scottish Borders are famously beautiful, and Scott's View provides an unrivalled panorama; try to either arrive early or late in the day, so you can enjoy it under the morning mists or the setting sun. To the northwest the view runs along Tweed valley towards Melrose and Black Hill, one of Scotland's many Marilyns. To the southwest, farmlands roll beyond the village of Newton St Boswells. And, of course, to the west are the three great peaks of Eildon.
An unwitting wizard
According to legend, there weren't always three peaks at Eildone. Michael Scott was a 13th century Scottish philosopher who has since been mythologised as a wizard and had some rather curious acts ascribed to him — including the three peaks at Eildone. As Sir Walter Scott wrote in 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel', Scott conquered a foul demon by challenging it to weave ropes from sea-salt, which it failed to do — but only after it had already cleft Eildon hill into its three distinctive cones.
As the story goes, Sir Walter Scott would stop here so often on his way home to Abbotsford that his horses began to halt without command. And when he died in 1832, his funeral carriage passed this way en route to his burial and the horses stopped again, allowing their master one last look at the Borders landscape.

The European Engine Lubricant Quality Management System (EELQMS) is a voluntary quality management system for automotive engine lubricants. It has been developed jointly by ACEA, ATC and ATIEL. Although the EELQMS is a voluntary system, it may be required by third parties and, in these circumstances, it may be mandatory.
The System is designed to assist lubricant marketers in assuring the quality of their lubricants and the performance claims being made for them in the marketplace. It provides a detailed process and structure for supporting documentation covering lubricant development, production and performance validation. It is available to all companies on a voluntary basis. The EELQMS is the only system that can be used to support claims against the ACEA European Oil Sequences specifications, and so enables lubricant marketers to include those performance claims on their product labelling.
