This study determined the prevalence and distribution of plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC) b-lactamases in Irish Escherichia coli isolates. Clinical E. coli isolates (n = 95) that were intermediate or resistant to cefoxitin and/or flagged by VITEK 2 as potential AmpC-producers underwent confirmation using a MASTDISCST ESBL and AmpC Detection Kit. Multiplex PCR capable of detecting family-specific plasmid ampC genes was performed to detect the presence of these genes. Five PCR- negative isolates were selected for promoter analysis. PFGE and MLST were performed on E. coli isolates that harboured a plasmid ampC gene to determine their clonal relatedness. Plasmid ampC genes were detected in 19% (18/95) of phenotypic AmpC producing E. coli isolates. The CIT group was the most common plasmid family type (n = 14); DHA (n = 3) and ACC (n = 1) groups were also detected. Promoter analysis showed that four isolates had multiple point mutations and one had a 1 bp insertion in the 10 box. PFGE demonstrated a polyclonal pattern for E. coli isolates. Furthermore, with the exception of two isolates with an identical sequence type (ST720), MLST analysis revealed that these isolates were not clonally related. This study revealed that there was a marked prevalence of pAmpC E. coli among phenotypic AmpC producing E. coli isolates but no evidence of cross-transmission of a single strain. Establishing the prevalence and clonality of these organisms is important in order to implement evidence-based infection control measures that reduce the spread of pAmpC b-lactamase resistance in the hospital environment.


Welcome to my little corner of insanity.
Why does no one want to do insanity with me? I don't really want to do it by myself. I don't know what to do. I want to do insanity, but I don't want to be alone.
Tomorrow is homecoming. Am I the only one who doesn't care? Honestly, what is the friggin' point of me walking out on the basketball court with a freakin' dress on? I'm not going to win, nor do I care to. It's ridiculous to me. It's all a popularity thing. If you're not popular; you're not going to get it. Simple as that. Either way, I have to wear a dress and fix my hair just to walk out there for a couple of minutes to please everybody. Then I get to put on some good ole blue jeans and a dressy shirt. That's all I'll be looking foward to. I know that I'll be ridiculously sore. We lifted legs today and they're already giving out on me. Lovely.


The sisters debuted to the public on September 11 and are on display in the jungle portion of the facility as guests first enter the attraction. The freshies, on loan to Shark Reef Aquarium from the San Diego Zoo, are 14 years old, four feet in length and weigh 30-35 pounds each.
Johnston's Crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) are found in the wild in the tropical regions of northern Australia in freshwater lakes, rivers and wetlands. The aquatic predators reach an average size of approximately six feet in length and 32 pounds. Their long, slender snout is well-suited to a fish-based diet.
Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is among the most prestigious animal facilities in the world and is the first and only Nevada institution accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). More than 2,000 animals are displayed at Shark Reef Aquarium, featuring 100 species, including 15 species of sharks. Shark Reef is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Ковен () — в англійській мові традиційне позначення спільноти відьом, що регулярно збираються для відправлення обрядів на свої свята — шабаші. У сучасній язичницькій релігії Вікка, ковен — це здебільшого просто певний осередок, група віруючих.

В сучасній спільноті Вікка організовуються зібрання ініційованих віккан. Ці зібрання досить автономні, і очолюються Верховною Жрицею або/і Жрецем, що працюють здійснивши проходження першої, другої і третьої ступені посвячення.

Зазвичай новий ковен створюється при відокремленні нової Жриці або при відокремлення малого ковена від великого. Віккани частіш за все співпрацюють в ковенах, та іноді є і «відлюдниками», які практикують і вірують самі по собі, проте деякі з цих «відлюдників» відвідують збори на честь великих церемоній, наприклад: вікканські свята Колеса Року.

Традиційно кількість членів ковена була тринадцять, та зараз загалом найчастіше буває набагато більше учасників зібрання.

Відкритому введенню у всі зібрання ковена традиційно передує вичікуювальний період приблизно в рік і один день.

Протягом цього періоду проходить певний курс вивчення основ. У деяких зібраннях в ковен церемонія «посвячення», можливо, виконується протягом цього періоду, якийсь час перед введенням, належно дозволяючи персоні провести випробувальну основу певних ритуалів.

Багато віккан дуже люблять цей «рік і один день», сприймаючі дні цього періоду як приємні навчальні уроки по релігії і магії. Цей етап перед Ковеном називають Роща.

Meet our DMO Team.
BC1 Boccia player
The self-styled "Ronnie O'Sullivan of boccia", David certainly shares the snooker star's exceptional talent for his chosen sport. The BC1 athlete, who has Spastic Hypertonia Cerebral Palsy, was the youngest ever boccia player to win the British Championships at 14 and became world champion at 18. Ranked among the world's top three since 2011, David topped his silver performance at London 2012 by returning from Rio with gold.
This outcome had looked more and more likely since adopting his DM Orthotics scoliosis suit in December 2015, which he wears religiously to the gym three times a week. "The suit was my physio's idea to try to strengthen my core," he explains. "It's less rigid than the spinal brace I wear every day for support, so it makes me work my postural muscles."
David soon noticed a marked difference. "By the 2016 World Championships in March I'd say my power had gone up 10 per cent," he reveals. "Power in boccia is crucial because unlike bowls we use soft balls that are harder to move when they're on the Jack. I was already one of the strongest BC1s and I'm probably miles ahead now in terms of how hard I can hit the ball, which is a huge advantage."
The suit has also assisted David in developing his accuracy. "When I played before, I used to slope forwards or sideways, particularly after throwing underarm, and just hang off my hips and be propped up by my brace," he says. "Now that I can activate my postural muscles while wearing the brace, my movement is more stable and my improved fitness means I don't get so tired in later sessions."
A natural showman, David has sported a brightly coloured Mohican for all three of his Paralympic appearances and always gives his home crowd something to cheer about. Plumping for red at London and Beijing and blue for Rio, we look forward to seeing his colour of choice at Games number four.
We hope you are all keeping safe and well.
DM Orthotics continues to be open as normal. Due to maintaining a strict Covid-19 secure workplace environment, our order lead times may be longer than usual.
Please get in touch if you have any concerns.

Clan Murray
Clan Murray has the unique honour of maintaining Europe's only legal private army. Their stronghold of Duffus Castle was once one of Scotland's strongest castles.
Clan history
'The families of the Moray or Murray Clan, are descended from the 12th Century Flemish warlord Freskin. His progeny adopted the surname 'de Moravia' meaning 'from Moray' – the area of north east Scotland where Freskin had been given lands by King David I. Freskin's descendants thrived and several branches of the family were honoured with titles including the Gordon Earls of Sutherland, the Earls of Dunmore, the Earls of Mansfield, and the Dukes of Atholl. The Chief of the Clan is His Grace Bruce Murray, 12th Duke of Atholl, who commands the only legal private regiment in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders, and takes their salute every May at Blair Castle.
To select just a few of many notable Murrays throughout the pages of Scottish history we note: the great Sir Andrew Moray, Guardian of Scotland, who led the Scottish army with William Wallace to victory over Edward 1st in 1297; Lord George Murray, a brilliant Scottish Jacobite general; the "silver-tongued" William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, who rose to become Lord Chief Justice in 1756 and was known for ground breaking judgements such as his declaration that slaves were free once they set foot on English soil; and in more recent years Sir Andy Murray who became World No.1 tennis champion in 2016.
Traditionally clansmen put juniper in their bonnets to recognise each other in battle and a clan motto is 'Furth Fortune and Fill the Fetters' or 'go onward with fortune and return with hostages'.
There are many variations on the name Murray, including Moray, Murrie, Murry, MacMurray, Morrow and the Irish O'Murray, Murrihy, and O'Muireadhaigh. There are also other families closely associated with the Murray Clan, by allegiance and descent through the female line. These include Balneaves, Dinsmore, Dunsmore, Fleming, Geraghty, Ginnsmore, Neaves, Piper, Pyper, Smail, Smale, Small, Smeal, Spaulding, Thomas and Tomas.
Famous Murray clan members
There have been many notable Murray achievements written on the pages of Scottish history. Sir Andrew Moray of Bothwell took up the cause of Scottish independence against Edward I of England and joined forces with William Wallace. The two men led their combined army to victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. Scotland. Andrew died from wounds he received in battle. Lord George Murray was a Scottish Jacobite general most noted for his 1745 campaign under Bonnie Prince Charlie into England. William Murray, the Lord Chief Justice, was known for ground breaking judgements such as his declaration that slavers had no rights over their slaves on English soil.
It's recorded that President Franklin D Roosevelt's great-great-great grandfather was Dumfries-born James Murray, who sailed to Nova Scotia in the 1740s.
Of course, in more recent years Andy Murray, from Dunblane in Perthshire, has become the world's no.1 tennis player, and won the Wimbledon tennis championship for the second time in 2016.
The current clan chief is His Grace Bruce Murray, 12th Duke of Atholl. The Duke commands the only legal private regiment in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders. You can see them in all their splendour at the annual parade at Blair Castle.
Murray clan members traditionally recognised each other by placing juniper or butcher's broom in their bonnets.
Clan Murray sights to explore
Blair Castle
You won't forget your visit to Blair Castle. It is a simply stunning building with towers, turrets, twisting staircases and labyrinthine corridors. You can admire the beautiful paintings and furniture, and see a fascinating collection of weapons, hunting trophies and souvenirs of the Murray clan. The Atholl Highlanders, the private army of the Duke of Atholl, are a unique attraction. Save some time to stroll around the beautiful castle grounds and look out for the 62.7 m (206 ft) Grand Fir, which is the second tallest tree in Britain.
This was an early seat of the clan, becoming a property of the Murrays the middle of the 12th century. Within easy reach of Glasgow, it commands a leafy bend in the River Clyde.
If you're travelling into the Highlands, stop off at this magnificent historic house, one of the finest examples of late Georgian Gothic style in Britain. The State Rooms are open from April till the end of September, and you can organise a group during the winter by appointment. The Palace grounds are also open to the public. The kings of Scots were inaugurated at Scone in ancient times, and in 1600 the lands were granted to the Murrays.
Lord George Murray was a talented general who led the Jacobite charge at the Battle of Culloden. Despite his military sharpness, the cause was defeated. You can learn all about how this tragic event affected your family at the excellent visitor centre at the battle site near Inverness.
Other sites associated with the clan include Huntingtower Castle in Perthshire givne to the Murrays of Tullibardine and Urquhart Castle, on the shores of Loch Ness. One of Scotland's most famous castles, it was famously besiged by Andrew Moray

Iran never accepts regional states presence in talks with US
Tehran, Dec 8, IRNA – In the Middle East region, Iran is among the few countries which has not welcomed role of foreign powers or any presence in the area of regional cooperation or the question of security and does not accept presence of regional states in talks with the US.
The remarks have been made by Morteza Rahimi- former Iranian ambassador to Oman and Yemen- in a writing for Iranian official newspaper "IRAN" on Tuesday.
Below is the important part of Rahimi's writing:
It is expected the Congress after Biden's victory in the Nov 3 election to pursue full revision in the US relations with Arab countries in the Persian Gulf region.
This policy has made the US Arab allies endeavor to prevent revision of the US policy whether through expanding cooperation between Israel and Arab countries or participating in terrorist acts against Iran.
Victory of Joe Biden over Donald Trump in the US presidential election made Arab countries, which have heavily invested in Trump's campaign and had drawn up plans based on Trump victory, more concerned.
Their concern gets more when Biden declared clearly his regional policies.
This is while, the outgoing US President Donald Trump who should leave power in next few weeks was used to support Saudi Arabia in its aggression on Yemen and terror of dissidents.
But, it seems that Biden will revise the US relations with Saudi Arabia and may pick tougher stance on Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Biden has promised to return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) from which Trump withdrew unilaterally in May 2018, the move which made US Arab allies happy at that time; meanwhile, it is natural that they are concerned by the current developments, the concerns which have forced them to make certain requests in order to reduce pressures on themselves.
The concern has made the Arab countries under the leadership of Saudi MBS suggest joining to attend talks that may be held soon.
But surely, Iran will not accept such a suggestion.
Even if the talks with US start with no preconditions, presence of a country from the region will create problem for the process of Iranian talks with the US.
Far from the Arab states, Japan has also called for taking part in the possible talks with Iran; meanwhile, Tokyo's willingness will not necessarily lead to make the negotiations effective.
After his defeat in the November 3 presidential election, Trump took further measures to achieve his goals against Iran and support Israel.
The recent travel of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to the region and the effort to get Arab countries closer to Israel are among Trump's measures taken during last days of his tenure.
Pompeo's regional visit took place in line with normalization of relations of Bahrain and United Arab Emirates with Israel.
It seems that the US tries to demand such normalization of relations between Israel and other Arab countries including Saudi Arabia.
Iran has explicitly stated that it is against any rift among the regional countries as dispute among Arabs will benefit no one.
Iran's policy on regional solidarity has repeatedly been expressed by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
If settlement of disputes among the Arab states does not create new front against Iran, it will lead to convergence on which Iran has always insisted.
Iran sees the presence of foreign forces in the region as the cause of insecurity.
As long as the regional states do not reach a mutual understanding that the foreign presence has caused problems, grounds will not be prepared for talks.
However, ultra regional countries which are seeking their illegitimate interests in the region will create obstacle to regional cooperation.
In fact, mutual understanding about the need to peaceful coexistence has not been reached in the region yet.
To reach such an understanding, the regional countries should increase consultations which will lead them to a conclusion that peaceful coexistence will bring a bright future for the region.

Q: AppBarLayout weirdly taking space & pushing content down I'm using the new Android Design Library & Auto hide of Toolbar feature. Currently the auto hide on scroll works fine. But the having this issue, take a look at screenshot below
As you see the FloatingActionButton is pushed bit down.
Code:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@android:id/home"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.v7.widget
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:clipToPadding="false"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_shuffle"
        style="@style/FabStyle"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

FabSyle:
<style name="FabStyle">
    <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:layout_gravity">bottom|end</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginEnd">@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">@dimen/activity_vertical_margin</item>
    <item name="borderWidth">0dp</item>
    <item name="elevation">@dimen/fabElevation</item>
    <item name="pressedTranslationZ">@dimen/fabPressedZ</item>
</style>

I have also tried too add margin & padding bottom which works but when list is scrolled it goes too up.
Best thing is when I play with AppBarLayout which stops the auto hide on scroll for Toolbar then FloatingActionButton looks good.

A: AppBarLayout expects to be the first child of CoordinatorLayout to work correctly. This article notes that:

AppBarLayout currently expects to be the first child nested within a CoordinatorLayout according to the official Google docs.

But apparently the docs have changed since then (maybe the restriction no longer applies? I'm not sure). Try moving your AppBarLayout to the first position like so:
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@android:id/home"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

        <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
            android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <android.support.v7.widget
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:clipToPadding="false"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_shuffle"
        style="@style/FabStyle"/>

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

A: You need to change you FAB like this:-
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_shuffle"
    app:layout_anchor="@id/list"
    app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end"
    style="@style/FabStyle"/>

A: for your RecyclerView
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scrollbars="none"
    android:clipToPadding="false"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"/>

Haimonti Dutta explores the mesmerizing beauty of Mulakunnathukavu Temple in Thrissur District, one of the lesser known temples of Kerala tucked away amidst paddy fields, banana and jackfruit plantations and coconut trees.
There are the famous ones like Sabarimala, Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple (Trivandrum), Guruvayur Sri Krishna and Vadakunnathan Temple (Thrissur district),Vaikom Mahadeva Temple (Kottayam District) to name a few. What has caught my attention though, is the mesmerizing beauty of the lesser known temples tucked away amidst paddy fields, banana and jackfruit plantations and coconut trees.
(f) the type of offering and (g) the manner in which it should be dedicated.
Festivals form an integral part — usually accompanied by lighting of the ceremonial oil lamps (Figure 1), procession of decorated elephants, and the sound of the panchavadyam.
One of the lesser known temples is the Mulakunnathukavu temple (Figure 2), located about 10 kms north of the town of Thrissur on the Thrissur-Shornur highway. The presiding deity is Lord Ayyappa. Legend has it, that Ayyappan (also popularly known as Sastavu or Manikandan) was the son of Harihara — a rigvedic deity who is the composite form of Shiva and Vishnu . He is worshipped as a local deity in the hills bordering the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala and one finds very little reference of him amongst Hindu gods worshipped in the Northern part of the country.
However, the worship of Ayyappan has been steadily increasing in the 20th century with Kerala possibly having the largest number of devotees. Lord Ganapathi is also worshipped in the Sreekovil. Other deities worshipped in this temple include Shiva, Krishna, Naga, and Bhagavati (in the form of Kali). The temple is a Mahakshetra-since it has all the major components of a Kerala temple including a sreekovil, pradakshinavattam, namaskara mandapam,chuttambalam, and koothambalam. The exterior walls have exquisite decorations including elephants made out of stone(Figure 3).
An old Dravidian ritualistic art form, Ayyappan Thiyattu, is performed inside this temple on auspicious occasions. Thiyattu is an offering to propitiate Lord Ayyappa by those intending to have off-springs, attain knowledge, fulfillment of desires or avoid calamities .
It involves paattu (music sung in kalampattu style, Kerala's sopana style), koothu (pantomimic renderings of stories of Lord Ayyappan), and komaran (oracle dance – Figure 4) along with elaborate kalams (multi-colored floral drawings or dhooli-chitra kala – drawn with natural powders such as rice powder, turmeric, and semi-dry leaves). The music in thiyattu is also known as thouryarthrikasangeetam as the three elements of song, dance, and playing of the musical instrument are done simultaneously by the same performer unlike in a kathakali recital.
The tantric dance of the komaran, choreographed with difficult steps is also known as khadga nriytam as the oracle holds a divine sword during the performance. The oracle makes several rounds around the kalam with a display of weaponry exercises. At the climax, he jumps into the kalam in a trance and wipes out most of the kalam excepting the face step by step to the accompaniment of the percussion instruments – an event well worth witnessing.
 Many temples even today, do not permit entrance of non-Hindus.
 Men are often required to enter the temple after removing their shirts and vests.
 Access inside the sanctum sanctorum or garbha griha is restricted to the brahmins and priests who conduct regular rituals.
 Panchavadyam is an orchestra of five instruments – Kombu (horn, a wind instrument), Maddalam, Thimila, Elathalam (closely resembles cymbals) and Idakka.

Indiana University On Strike Against Tuition Hikes
Rebecca Burns April 12, 2013
Indiana University students and supporters march through campus during a two-day strike against tuition hikes and privatization.
Indiana University, home of downtrodden basketball fans, is currently playing host to a prouder legacy. Yesterday, students and some faculty and staff commenced a two-day strike that organizers hope could help reinvigorate a movement to defend higher education.
A portion of students and faculty at the system's Bloomington campus are walking out of classes and off the job in protest of tuition hikes and privatization. Campus police were on hand during a series of protests yesterday, but no arrests occurred until last night, when police evicted strikers from a building on campus where they had amassed for a general assembly. One individual was arrested as the group dispersed. The group IU on Strike alleges that the arrest occurred as the participant was trying to leave the area, and has denounced police conduct, declaring "IUPD created a chaotic situation where there was none, bullying participants as they gathered their belongings." But organizers have nevertheless proclaimed the first day of the strike a success, and are now gearing up for Day 2. (The IU Police Department told In These Times that the individual was arrested for vandalism, but declined to comment further on the incident).
The strike, which student and community organizers have been planning for six months, coincides with a bi-monthly meeting of the IU Board of Trustees, who set tuition and fees for the university system. Throughout the day yesterday, a few hundred striking students trickled in and out of a central lecture hall on campus, where free classes were held on such topics as "women and American social movements" and "libraries in the age of austerity." Others held lively pickets outside of dorms, academic buildings and bus stops in hopes of growing the ranks of rebellious Hoosiers. In some buildings, students leaned out of their classroom windows to cheer on the strikers. At a few other campuses in the IU system, including IU South Bend and Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis, students staged smaller actions against privatization.
As the Board of Trustees convened its meeting at the Bloomington campus, students held a speak-out on debt outside, chanting, "No cutbacks, no fees, just fire the trustees!" Some students even composed a song to the tune of a popular ballad from Les Miserables, calling on administrators to "look down" on indebted students as the trustees met inside a building blocked off by campus police. (Full disclosure/ bragging rights: IU is this reporter's alma mater).
"Why should I have to mortgage my soul to the debt companies for a chance at education?" asked one student during the speak-out. "The students and the workers are the ones who make this place run!"
In 2011, the Board of Trustees approved a new round of tuition increases. At IU Bloomington, the campus that saw the sharpest hikes in the system, tuition has risen by more than 5% for resident students and 6% for non-residents during each of the past two years, including new student fees that go towards building maintenance. (In-state tuition at the university is currently $10,034; out-of-state students pay $31,484).Though the university announced last fall that it would offset the hikes by freezing tuition for upperclassmen who are on-track to graduate in four years, student organizers say this further punishes those who may be struggling academically due to financial difficulties. The average graduate of IU Bloomington now leaves with more than $27,000 in debt, according to the Project on Student Debt.
Students worry that further hikes could be on the way. The Board of Trustees had originally planned to hear tuition recommendations during a two-day meeting this week, but last week announced that they would shorten the meeting to one day and omit the topics related to tuition. Mark Land, the university's associate vice president of communications, told the Indiana Daily Student that the change was made because of a dearth of items on the agenda and was unrelated to the strike.
Though student demonstrators object to the university being "run like a business," they assert that the problem is bigger than greedy university administrators. Since 2009, the Republican-controlled Indiana General Assembly and the Indiana Commission on Higher Education have slashed state funding for IU by more than $100 million, with the result that state support now comprises just 18% of IU's total operating budget. Thanks to deep cuts to higher education and other public services, the state of Indiana will enjoy a projected budget surplus of more than $500 million next year, but critics say this has been achieved on the backs of students, state workers and the poor.
Among striker's demands are the reversal of tuition hikes, a lifting of a "de facto wage freeze" for employees, and an end to the outsourcing of campus services. A declaration from IU on Strike reads:
The issues of massive student debt, hoosier-style racism, exploitation of workers, and the hollowing out of education in Indiana are getting too big to ignore. With an economy going nowhere fast and an administration in denial, the folks who make up Indiana University - the staff, faculty, and students - are taking matters into our own hands."
Strikers are also demanding the repeal of state laws barring undocumented students from receiving in-state tuition, as well as increased diversity on campus. That platform helped attract Jackson Alexander Caldwell, a senior journalism major who receives tuition support through a scholarship program aimed at increasing racial and ethnic diversity on campus. Speaking to In These Times by phone as he attended "free university days" Thursday, Caldwell said he supports the strikers' call for doubling enrollment of African-American students, which administrators have pledged previously to do. He also emphasized that keeping tuition affordable goes hand-in-hand with increasing diversity on campus.
Indiana's disinvestment in its universities is part of a bleak bigger picture. Since the mid-1980s, almost all states have cut funding for public universities, even as their student bodies have swelled. The result is that rising demand for higher education has coincided with its deepening privatization. Colorado universities, the biggest losers over the past two decades, have seen state support decrease by nearly 70%. If current trends continue, Colorado will cease funding its public colleges and universities entirely by 2022. Nationwide, things aren't looking much better — if disinvestment in higher ed proceeds apace, the average state support for colleges and universities will reach zero by 2059, according to the American Council on Education.
A report published last month by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities notes that cuts to education have accelerated rapidly since the start of the recession, with every state except for North Dakota and Wyoming spending less per student than it did prior to 2008. Since then, the average annual tuition at public colleges and universities has grown by 27 percent. In addition to implementing hikes, schools make up for funding shortfalls by cutting spending — "often in ways that diminish the quality of education," such as eliminating course offerings or library services, the report's authors assert.
Staring into an abyss of deepening indebtedness and dwindling job prospects, students from across the country have over the past year begun searching for ways to scale up their fight. At a "National Student Power Convergence" held last summer in Columbus, Ohio, U.S. activists met with representatives of militant student movements from Quebec, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. As Sarah Jaffe noted in a report for AlterNet, a key theme of the conference — and a perennial challenge for U.S. student groups — was how to move beyond organizing with "the righteous few" and towards building real power.
During the height of a student strike in Quebec last spring, more than 150 student unions voted to join in. Students brought campuses to a halt, and successfully (though temporarily) halted a proposed hike to tuition in the province. But absent the strong student unions that thrived in the U.S. during the 1920s and 30s, or a return to the atmosphere of campus radicalism of the 60s, the potential of strikes on U.S. campuses remains mostly symbolic for the moment.
So far, active support for the strike is limited amongst the more than 40,000 students who attend IU Bloomington. There's no official count of how many students have skipped classes, but about 400 people participated in a lunchtime march through campus Thursday, according to organizers.
Nevertheless, a two-day strike is a place to start. "We're trying to get people reacquainted with the idea of a strike and the possibility of it being effective," says Caldwell. "From here, we hope it will get bigger and bigger." (Organizers also claim that support for the strike is widespread, even if students aren't leaving their classes. See for example, this strike support banner hanging at a frat house that I, for one, never knew to be hotbed of campus radicalism. If it turns out that the brothers themselves had a hand in this, I will take that as evidence enough of a sea change underway in the student body.)
All campus employees, meanwhile, have no-strike clauses in their contract and are technically barred from taking part. But Bruce Smedley, retired president of CWA local 4730, the IU support staff union, has encouraged employees to participate in the strike regardless by succumbing to the "crimson flu:" calling in sick and joining students on the picket lines. In a letter to the Herald-Times, Smedley explains the stake employees have in the strike:
You are some of the lowest paid Big Ten university employees and barely receive annual raises while the top income earners on campus receive huge pay raises each year. In fact, you have been asked in some years to forgo a raise — to sacrifice for the university. As loyal and hardworking employees, you do this, thinking that everyone will sacrifice together. Unfortunately, while this thinking appears to be fulfilled for a short time, top administrators eventually receive raises retroactively, but not you.
A number of faculty members on campus are also participating in this week's actions in some way, according to Purnima Bose, an English professor and member of the IU Progressive Faculty and Staff Caucus. A number of instructors gave their students the option of skipping class without penalty, others opened their courses up for striking students to attend, and a few even cancelled classes for the days. Though faculty are an "ideologically diverse group," Bose notes, many were galvanized by the heavy-handed responses of administrators in responding to the strike. An e-mail sent by a university dean last month, for example, warned faculty and staff against using "faculty LISTSERVs and emails to promote organization around the proposed student strike." Though the dean later issued a retraction of the statement, many faculty members began to see the rights to academic freedom and free speech as at stake during this week's demonstrations. More than 100 faculty members signed onto a statement supporting the students' right to protest, if not the strike itself.
Others faculty stand in solidarity with the strikers' demands, Bose notes, especially given the shift toward a "performance-based" model of funding that gives state officials an unprecedented level of control over university governance.
"Even as the state legislature has made deep cuts to our budget, it insists on a bigger role defining the pedagogical mission and meddling in curricular issues," she says. "The drive to 'corporatize' the university … has left many wondering about the role of faculty governance in matters pertaining to educating our students and in the life of the institution. For these reasons, many faculty are delighted that students have initiated a debate about these issues through the strike."

Expectations were reversed in the Champions League Wednesday night, as struggling Leverkusen earned a knock-out place by beating Chelsea, while in-form champions Dortmund were all but knocked out by Arsenal.
Despite taking a second-half lead, Chelsea lost 2-1 at Leverkusen as coach André Villas-Boas suffered his fourth defeat in seven games and his side now have to beat Valencia in a fortnight to stay in the Champions League.
"We tried to take a few more risks and felt we deserved the draw, but to go and take the victory, we are delighted," said the 35-year-old. Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt, in his first season with Bayer after joining from Freiburg, paid tribute to his players belief.
"The lads absolutely deserved to win and delivered a passionate performance," said Dutt. "We already gave ourselves a good chance by beating Valencia at home (in October), that speaks for the character and quality of this team. Against Genk, we will try and make sure we finish in first place."
German champions Borussia Dortmund, failed to keep the momentum rolling from their battling Bundesliga win over Bayern Munich at the weekend, and were skittled by two Robin van Persie goals in Arsenal's Emirates stadium.
The loss leaves them at the bottom of their table relying on slim mathematical chances of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League.

Tyros Reffa è un personaggio di finzione de Il preludio a Dune di Brian Herbert e Kevin J. Anderson.

Vicende legate al personaggio
Figlio dell'Imperatore Padishah Corrino Elrood IX e della sua concubina Shando Balut (successivamente divenuta Lady Shando Vernius grazie al suo matrimonio con Dominic Vernius), al momento della sua nascita Tyros Reffa viene affidato dal padre alle cure di Glax Othn, rappresentante della Casa Taligari, che lo porta con sé sul pianeta Zanovar.

Reffa cresce lontano dai propri genitori, senza che né i membri della famiglia Corrino, né di quella Vernius ne conoscano l'esistenza, ma consapevole del proprio lignaggio e di non poter accampare diritti sul trono (a cui comunque non sembra essere interessato).

Divenuto il nuovo Imperatore Padisha, Shaddam IV scopre l'esistenza di Tyros Reffa e, al fine di stroncare una sua eventuale rivendicazione del trono, decide di ucciderlo. Approfittando di un suo contrasto con la Casa Taligari (rea di aver illegalmente accumulato ingenti depositi di spezia), Shaddam IV ordina ai suoi soldati Sardaukar di distruggere il pianeta Zanovar: l'obbiettivo è quello di mascherare l'assassinio del fratellastro con un'ingente offensiva militare, ufficialmente lanciata contro la Casa Taligari.

Tyros Reffa, che poco prima dell'attacco si era recato su di un altro pianeta per assistere ad una rappresentazione teatrale, scampa miracolosamente al tentato omicidio, ma perde tutti i suoi averi e tutti i suoi affetti, primo fra tutti quello del precettore Glax Othn, morto nell'attacco delle truppe imperiali, e che egli considerava alla stregua di un padre.

Ormai senza nulla da perdere e assetato di vendetta, incontra il suo vecchio maestro Jongleur Holden Wong, convincendolo a farlo entrare nella sua compagnia teatrale, la quale ha in programma una rappresentazione sul pianeta Kaitain proprio in presenza dell'imperatore Shaddam IV. L'obiettivo di Reffa è quello di uccidere l'imperatore durante l'opera teatrale, attraverso un piccolo rubino in grado di lanciare un letale raggio laser.

Giunto però sul palco a pochi metri dal suo obbiettivo, Reffa non riesce ad uccidere il suo fratellastro, colpendo al suo posto una guardia Sardaukar: catturato, viene rinchiuso in isolamento in cella e sommariamente condannato a morte. Prima della sua esecuzione, l'ambasciatore ixiano Pilru Calmar riesce a corrompere alcune guardie e quindi ad avere un lungo colloquio con Reffa: durante tale incontro Tyros Reffa rivela a Pilru le sue nobili origini, il reale scopo dell'attacco contro il pianeta Zenovar, e si fa prelevare un vasto campione di materiali biologici, volti a comprovare la sua appartenenza alla Casa Corrino.

La sua esecuzione viene svolta personalmente da Shaddam IV attraverso la stessa arma con cui Tyros Reffa aveva tentato di uccidere l'imperatore. Le cellule di Reffa preservate da Pilru, oltre ad essere usate come prova contro Shaddam IV, sono utilizzate da Rhombur Vernius per far concepire alla moglie Tessia il figlio Bronson, colmando così il deficit dovuto alle menomazioni subite da Rhombur in seguito ad un attentato e ripristinando così la discendenza della Casa Vernius.

Reffa, Tyros

Q: Can I manage/create users in Amazon Elasticache for Redis using native Redis commands? I have many Amazon ElasticCache for Redis clusters deployed in cluster mode (using the default user).
We need to introduce RBAC so we can create monitoring users with the least access possible.
I have tried creating new users through:

*

*Python Libraries (redis-py-cluster): this doesn't work as the create/list user methods are blocked in cluster mode

*redis-cli: this doesn't work as the SETUSER command keeps coming back with invalid argument errors (even when copying simple examples from the official Redis website)
Is user management for Amazon ElasticCache for Redis only possible via & exclusive to the AWS console/CLI/SDKs?

A: User management in Amazon Elasticache for Redis clusters is managed exclusively through the AWS Console / CLI / SDKs, regardless of if you're using Redis AUTH or RBAC via IAM. You have to use the Amazon-provided abstractions on top like create-user.
You can't manage them manually.
The SETUSER (acl setuser) command is also explicitly restricted (disabled) within Elasticache for Redis, as per the docs.

Cruse welcomes new bank code to support to bereaved families
Share this: Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Other Sharing
Submitted by Kate on Mon, 04/11/2016 - 13:57
The UK's biggest high street banks and building societies have drawn up a new code of practice to offer greater help and support for bereaved families, the British Bankers' Association (BBA) has announced.
The Bereavement Principles have been developed for personal banking customers, to further assist families and relieve stress around alerting financial organisations to the death of a loved one by cutting bureaucracy and providing an even more sensitive service.
Cruse Bereavment Care welcomes the new code. Chief Executive Debbie Kerslake said: "At Cruse we often hear about the difficult time families have dealing with banks after a bereavement. We have been talking with several banks about ways that we can work together to improve the service they provide to bereaved people. Recently we collaborated with RBS and Natwest on a new brochure which is helping bereaved family members, and we also offer a range of training options for companies where staff come into contact with bereaved people at work. We hope this new code will help promote a more sensitive service across the board."
The new code of six principles includes a commitment from banks and building societies to:
Allow necessary payments from the deceased's accounts to cover any funeral bill, probate fees, or inheritance tax;
Improve empathy skills and knowledge training for staff; and
One-stop notification across products and within UK customer brands.
The one-stop notification system would enable a bank to notify its relevant brands about specific accounts and products under the deceased's names, as requested by the notifier.
The principles also include an ongoing feasibility study for a "Tell us Once" style scheme which would allow members of the public to notify securely a number of retail banks and building societies of the death of an account holder with one single notification.
Banks and building societies already have processes for helping those with bereavement cases but personal banking customers will now be able to expect the same consistent standards of service when the new code is put into practice by the end of 2016.
The principles have been developed and voluntarily agreed by the BBA Bereavement Working Group, comprised of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide Building Society, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander and the Building Societies Association, and will cover UK brands under those groups. The principles have also been backed by leading consumer groups and bereavement specialists.
BBA Bereavement Working Group Chair Mandy Griffin from Nationwide Building Society, said: "The new Bereavement Principles will give greater support to families at the most distressing time and make the process of notifying financial organisations of the death of a loved one much easier. Our aim is to make sure we deal sensitively with bereaved families and help them deal with the deceased financial affairs as quickly as possible.
"Through the bereavement working group, banks and building societies will continue to work together to ensure the principles become a reality"
Anthony Browne, CEO of the BBA, said: "Following the death of a friend or family member, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is closing and settling bank accounts, but the new Bereavement Principles will help to further reduce stress and offer a more sensitive service to customers."
We offer support, advice and information to children, young people and adults when someone dies. We work to enhance society's care of bereaved people.

Shook plants new tree law before Council
by Reporter Newspaper Staff January 26, 2007 March 30, 2010
By John Schaffner
editor@reporternewspapers.netTrees are always a controversial topic in Atlanta and City Councilman Howard Shook knows that too well, after introducing legislation more than a year ago that would have allowed homeowners to cut down one tree a year on their property without having to go through all the bureaucratic hoops.
But controversial or not, Shook, who represents much of Buckhead, was back again Feb. 19 introducing new legislation that would make it easier for property owners to cut down trees that seem at risk of falling and crashing into a home or other building.
Under this new ordinance, which originated with the city's arborist, owners will still pay a fee to compensate the city for the lost tree, which could range from $100 to $2,500 based on the size of the tree. The revenue collected will then be used for tree planting and maintenance programs.
This proposal now is headed for debate in the council's community development committee.
The previous Shook plan, which would have allowed owners to cut one tree a year, has been in limbo for more than a year. But in January, Councilman C.T. Martin, who represents west Atlanta, called for that proposal to be voted on by the council, which stirred the controversy once again.
The council tabled Martin's request to give the city arborist time to draft his bill.
The proposal introduced by Shook has three main features. It allows one tree to be cut on a property every five years, regardless of whether the property has been sold. It requires public notice that a request to cut a tree has been filed and shortens the appeals timeline for protests of a permitted tree cutting. And, it allows appeals to be filed only by land owners within 300 feet of the property where the tree would be cut, instead of allowing anyone in the city to appeal.
At a recent address to the Buckhead Business Association, Shook spoke about his former tree ordinance proposal, explaining that he made that proposal "after hearing too many horror stories about people living in fear of a big tree that hangs over their kid's bedroom or people who wanted to renovate their house and there was a tree in the way and they felt they were being mistreated by the city bureaucracy."
Shook told the group "people came out of the woodwork and there was a lot of condemnation. I have never been associated with a piece of legislation that was more roundly condemned by some and generated more profound thanks and enthusiasm from others who normally pay no attention to city government.
He told the BBA audience that he withdrew the paper "because it was going to get killed if it came to a vote." He said then that he would support a decent compromise and, apparently, Shook feels this compromise measure from the administration that he introduced Feb. 19 has a better chance for survival.
In another related matter, City Council voted Feb. 19 to pay Trees Atlanta, a nonprofit group, some $1.9 million over the next 18 months to plant about 2,000 trees and maintain about 700 existing trees in public spaces throughout the city.

Love Letter Quotes From Around The World
admin Mar 12, 2015 dating, long distance relationships, love
Photo by Simon Howden FreeDigitalPhotos
I think one of the traditions that should make it back into the mainstream society is love letters. Good old physical love letters that you deliver by mail. Where's the satisfaction of receiving an instant letter that you were waiting for?
There's an aspect of romance missing in today's relationship where the anticipation of knowing a message has been sent but you have to play the waiting game to receive it. It lets your mind fill with potentials of what might be said, maybe imagining what new things they've been up to, or what they'll say to you…
So in honour of giving you more long distance relationship quotes I'm going to give you love letter quotes from around the world.
"We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life –
If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these.
My heart is full of so many things to say to you – ah – there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all –Cheer up – remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours." – Ludwig von Beethoven
This love letter written by Beethoven inspired many scenes in movies and television. Although this love letter was not meant towards anyone in particular scholars have debated that it could be addressed to one of two women – Josephine Brunsvik or Antonie Brentano.
You see, Beethoven never wrote an address down or a name in his letter and it was only found after his death. Interestingly enough he is said to have never been out of love considering he "loved" many women. Due to the discovery of this letter after his death the intended person remains unknown.
"If all that I have said and done, and am still but too ready to say and do, have not sufficiently proved what my real feelings are and must be ever towards you, my love, I have no other proof to offer." – Lord Byron
Ah, Lord Byron. He said it quite beautifully didn't he?
If you know anything about Byron it's that he was a famous seducer. He first fell madly in love with a girl named Mary Chaworth while attending school in north-west London – Harrow. There is a possibility that she never loved him back because Byron refused to go back to school and see her.
Byron went on to have affairs with many married women as he traveled the world.
"Time passes swiftly, but is it not joyous to see how great and growing is the treasure we have gathered together, amid the storms and stresses of so many eventful and to millions tragic and terrible years?" – Winston Churchill
This quote is part of a letter Churchill wrote to his wife whom he married in 1908. They met at a dinner party but only after their second encounter did they pursue their attraction. It is said that Churchill and his wife Clementine always wrote to each other when they were apart.
"Time passes swiftly, but is it not joyous to see how great and growing is the treasure we have gathered together, amid the storms and stresses of so many eventful and to millions tragic and terrible years?" – Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife was Joséphine de Beauharnais. Despite the controversy about her being 6 or 7 years older with two kids Napoleon still married her. His family was quite against it as this was not the norm at the time. Napoleon wrote this letter to her while on a war campaign.
That's it for love story quotes from around the world. Hope you enjoyed it.

LNG plant community meeting
Gulf County
Community meeting hosted about liquified natural gas plant
PORT ST JOE, Fla. (WMBB) — A company named Nopetro is allegedly interested in building a liquefied natural gas plant in Port St Joe.
"This is north Port Saint Joe, that's Route 98 so this is just a couple of hundred feet away from where people live and where there are businesses," Public Citizen Director of Energy Program Tyson Slocum said.
Public Citizen is in the process of suing FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. FERC approved a request from Nopetro that exempts them from being under the jurisdiction of FERC.
Slocum said that's a huge concern when considering the environmental implications of the plant, many residents agreed.
Miami company reportedly eyeing Port St. Joe Paper Mill
"That pollution you can't get around it, that's what it's gonna do," a gentleman said. "They cut some off in Louisiana because it would ruin a community like this."
Slocum said the pollution will come from the flare-ups during the liquidation process. He said the proposal will require liquefied natural gas to be taken from the plant down to vessels.
That creates another controversy.
"There are going to be flare-ups of certain aspects of the process, now there's going to be a lot of heavy truck traffic," Slocum said.
Eastern Shipbuilding interested in old paper mill property
Several residents expressed concerns about vessel usage.
"The dredging would require taking the sediment that's been deposited by the old paper mill plant that had toxins you know, waste toxins, and in the holding ponds that they had at the paper mill so once you dredge that up, there's no way to contain it," a gentleman said.
One resident believes city and county officials have been slacking in their protocol.
"It just really bothers me that none of this has been open and with all the things going on in our community, they have hidden so much information that we don't know in," a woman said.
Memorial commemorated for Dozier School boys
Gulf County Attorney Jeremy Novak said communication is being encouraged.
"In terms of communications, this has been ongoing for many years, I think it's continuing," Novak said. "Commissioner, right over here, you have city officials back there in the back of the room. I think this is part of the process. So I thank you for coming. I think it's important that that letter represent exactly what the request was, that they want to continue this dialog with everyone involved."
Some in attendance said they plan to make phone calls and contact officials to continue the conversation about the LNG plant.
No official decision has been made if the plant will or will not be built.

"I wondered whether you could help me out regarding some worms that I observed on Diadema during a night dive last week. These feather-like creatures (see attached pictures) hang from small, red thickenings in the urchin's spines that were otherwise black. The number of these organisms varied between 1-30 per urchin and while the larger ones induced these red bumps, smaller ones were coming from a small hole in the urchin's spine. All these featherlike creatures were flapping around in the current and retracted once they caught some particle that floated by. I estimate that ~80% of the urchins (Diadema only) at this site (Kahekili/ Maui) carried these additions around.
I wondered if you might know this organism by name and/ or reputation and would be willing to guide me on what to think of this."
Those are ctenophores - most species drift in the water like jellyfish (popularly known as comb jellies), but are a few live on the bottom or attach to other animals. It's probably Coeloplana bannwarthii Krumbach, 1933, which according to Reef and Shore Fauna of Hawaii Section 1 [Bishop Museum Special Publication 64(1)], p. 267, is symbiotic with urchins of the genus Echinothrix and Diadema in Hawaii.

Advanced Driver Challenge
Young Drivers are over confident.
Seventy-one per cent of young drivers think they are better than the average driver, according to survey by Vision Critical and road safety charity the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).1 Yet they are 2.5 times more likely to be involved in a serious crash.
Britain's most confident young drivers are in Northern Ireland where 87 per cent think they are better than average, yet they make up 26 per cent of those involved in crashes.2 Britain's least confident young drivers are from Wales where 56 per cent think they are better than average.
Other findings include:
75 per cent of young male drivers think that they are better than average driver.
68 per cent of young women think they are better than average driver.
Contrary to the confidence of younger drivers, official figures show that:
While 8 per cent of drivers are under 25, they account for 22 per cent of drivers involved in serious injury and fatal crashes.
They also drive, on average, about half the distance of older drivers each year.
Nearly a quarter of all car drivers (133 out of 542 drivers) who died in 2012 were young drivers themselves.
IAM chief executive Simon Best said: "A year ago the government committed itself to producing a green paper to tackle the safety of young drivers which has yet to be published." "Our whole system of learning to drive must be overhauled to provide safe exposure to a wider range of traffic situations, but also the chance to discuss attitudes and risks.
New drivers feel invulnerable and it is the job of government, training providers, insurers, charities and parents and carers to ensure they have the best training to reduce risk to themselves and others."
Drink Driving App
In a recent survey of UK drivers it was found that 1 driver in every 20 had accepted penalty points for someone else. Have you ever taken penalty points for another person?

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner this week announced a new advisory board for Chicago State University, the embattled public campus which remains in peril after years of financial cuts and scandal, leadership turnover and falling enrollment.
The board, comprised of current and former education executives with ties to regional institutions, is charged with developing a new strategic plan and financial stabilization effort for the school, which enrolled just 86 new first-time freshman last fall.
The advisory board accompanies the appointment of four new trustees to the university's official board.
This is the latest is an emerging trend of governors seizing full control of universities in the name of financial austerity and saving schools. Chicago State is the latest in a list which includes the University of Louisville and South Carolina State University as schools which have faced scandal and have resulted in massive executive changes on the board and in the president's office.
For colleges to avoid this kind of political seizure, leaders should continuously engage lawmakers and alumni stakeholders about their schools' profiles and encourage advocacy for their autonomy. Political favoring and financial issues are now part of the nature of higher education, but the economic value schools bring to regions and states should not be beholden to political ideology.


Sea glass is worth its weight in gold to beachcombers. There's nothing like seeing the pretty green, blue, and amber bits catch the light on the sand. Whether you're a old hand at picking up these beach gems or are looking for a new pastime this summer, here are some of the best beaches for sea glass in Massachusetts.
Spectacle Island is a unique place to hunt for seaside jewels due to its history. This island was originally a landfill that was capped off in the 1990s. Because of this, the island's shores are covered with fascinating finds like old tea cup handles, bits of smooth pottery, and plenty of sparkling sea glass. You can be sure to find something marvelous here. Please note that it is not permitted to remove sea glass from Spectacle Island beaches and take it home with you. The park rangers request that you return any finds to the sand or bring them up to the Visitors Center for display in order to keep the beaches full of glass for years to come.
Please remember to follow all posted signs regarding beach use and to respect private property. For more incredible beaches across the state, check out this list.


This article, published in the August issue of BIC magazine, outlines some of the time-tested ways to get the most out of your SAP for Plant Maintenance (PM/EAM) system.
The production unit was down, again. This time a pump had failed. Jim, a maintenance manager for a chemical plant just outside Baton Rouge, La., felt as if his days were spent running from one emergency to the next. Work requests were piling up and his people were barely keeping up. He was concerned about what they were missing. Their plant maintenance work plans were very limited and constantly overdue. He knew they needed to get out of the reactive state they were in, but getting a grip on and gaining visibility to the workload was a constant struggle.
They'd been using SAP® Plant Maintenance (PM) for a few years and after investing millions of dollars on the software and its implementation, they believed SAP would solve most of their data, work management and performance issues. Yet, they had only limited reliability and maintenance returns to show.
As was the case with Jim's plant, many manufacturing organizations implement SAP PM/EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) in too short a time frame. The vastness of the SAP PM module is often misjudged or overwhelming. It has a wide range of available functionality and is very transaction intense, making it difficult for users to learn and remember all the steps necessary to complete their tasks.
Over the past 19 years, Quadro Solutions Inc. has worked with many manufacturing companies in similar situations, helping them to understand SAP PM. Realistic work processes had been designed and implemented, and maintenance organizations had been taught how to manage their routine, preventive, predictive, shutdown/turnaround, outage and project workloads. By getting involved in all aspects of the project, from leadership to the shop floor, Quadro had seen many scenarios play out.
Jim realized there had to be a way to get real-time access to the backlog and compliance reporting he so desperately needed. Knowing they had about 3,000 open work requests did not tell him how many resources were needed to get work done in a timely manner. He also wasn't sure what standard SAP reports were available and whether it was necessary to define new reports. Although he contacted several consulting firms that had SAP PM/EAM expertise, few were truly familiar with plant maintenance and best practices.
Quadro created a number of programs within SAP for Jim's organization that allowed managers like him to get information on demand, including a backlog management report . Using this solution, Jim and his team could easily manage resources and backlog, keep open notifications up to date, achieve higher levels of PM/PdM compliance and reduce levels of deferred and break-in maintenance.
Another solution Quadro produced was a report to get clarity to cost. A reliability lead at a chemical plant in Texas wanted figures and trends from various cost centers. Before the report was created, it took four production unit engineers two to three days every month to compile this information. Once the report was in SAP, what previously took about half a year in staff hours every year, became continuously available in real-time.
Simplify Maintenance work management and transactions in SAP.
SAP PM/EAM, when integrated with maintenance best practices, can be a powerful tool. Although SAP PM/EAM is only a part of the total reliability or maintenance improvement equation, it is an important aspect to enable proactive maintenance management. Quadro has helped a number of organizations make the transition from reactive to proactive maintenance by maximizing and optimizing SAP's functionality, work processes and users' skills. Once the data and transactions in the system are simplified, managed and clarified into useful information, the return on investment can be significant.
