Humane
Breeding Paradox
Can dog-breeding practices be changed?
By John Woestendiek, September 2011, Updated June 2015
As a cynical outsider might snobbishly see it, Americans have the attention span of an Irish Setter, the intellectual curiosity of an Afghan Hound, the turf-guarding ferocity of a German Shepherd and the hungry greed of a Labrador Retriever. Count up all the beings besmirched by those insults — the dogs, the Americans and perhaps most of all, the Americans who breed those dogs — and you'd have the makings of an army, and an angry one at that. But consider the possibility that, while grossly stereotyping, it contains some underlying kernels of truth, at least when it comes to human foibles. That might give you a better understanding of why the issue of genetic health problems in purebreds caused by inbreeding has never led to more than ripples on the pond of public consciousness in the U.S.
In 2008, the documentary "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" aired on BBC, showcasing the devastating health problems that have resulted from breeding closely related purebred dogs in the United Kingdom. Along with an accompanying push by animal welfare organizations, it prompted a wave of changes and led to re-examination of the appearance-above-all value system many dog fanciers, breeders and kennel clubs have long held dear.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., hundreds of genetic disorders afflict an estimated five million purebred dogs, resulting in close to $1 billion a year in veterinary expenses and incalculable amounts of pain to dogs and their owners. Here, outside of kennel club and breed club circles, the issue has rated little more than a blip on the dog lover's radar screen, sometimes rising to the forefront, but rarely staying there.
In an attempt to import the debate to U.S. shores — or, in the view of some suspicious breeders, to fire "the first salvo" in an attack on the purebred dog-breeding industry — the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) convened "The Purebred Paradox" earlier this year. The April conference featured many of the same players who brought the issue out of the shadows and onto center stage in Great Britain. It wasn't hugely attended, or hugely reported on. Nonetheless, the two-day conference at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., led to some serious and, despite the sensitivities involved, even civil discussions of purebred health issues. From the hazards of limiting and closing gene pools to the folly of turning breeds into caricatures of themselves, with exaggerated features that often make their lives miserable and their births difficult: many of the hard topics were on the table.

"It's extraordinary that we should have bred animals that the only way they can be born is through C-section," Sir Patrick Bateson said in the conference's keynote address. Bateson served as chairman of the independent review of dog-breeding practices in the UK that came about in the wake of "Pedigree Dogs Exposed."
Bateson, emeritus professor of ethology at Cambridge University and president of the Zoological Society of London, was referring to the "brachycephalic" breeds — English Bulldogs and others with wide heads and shortened snouts, many of whom can't be born naturally and go through life with breathing problems. In the UK, he said, nine of 10 Boston Terrier births require Cesareans.
In his talk, Bateson suggested the inauguration of a public education campaign and better policing of unscrupulous breeders in America. He took pains to point out — as did several other speakers — that he wasn't proposing people should no longer breed dogs, only that the industry, and dogs, could benefit from increased regulation.
"We have to realize that human breeders are as different from each other as dogs are from each other," he noted. "Many breeders care enormously about the science and care about their animals. Some don't know about the science but do care about the animals. And some neither know nor care. There are all types."
Topics at the conference, co-sponsored by the Humane Society Institute for Science and Policy, the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), covered a range of canine health issues, from puppy mills to the evolution of dogs as household pets. But most of its focus was on the prevalence of genetic disorders and diseases that have come to afflict certain breeds.
There are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels whose brains outgrow their tiny skulls. Dachshunds, due in part to breeders' focus on elongating them, are now prone to back problems. Great Danes, in the process of being made greater, have developed weak hearts and joint problems. English Bulldogs have trouble breathing and are prone to heat stroke. Collies suffer from genetic eye trouble. Shar-Peis suffer from congenital skin and eye problems. Dalmatians — 100 percent of those registered with the AKC — carry a gene mutation that can lead to bladder stones.
The list, unfortunately, goes on. Recessive genes are the main culprit, but as it has throughout the history of turning wolves into hundreds of different dog breeds, human whimsy plays a role as well.
Breeding close relatives, over-reliance on a single sire, shrinking gene pools and closed registries are some of the sources of the problems. They are fueled by a somewhat outdated emphasis on "purity"; breed standards and their interpretation by dog show judges; and the tendency of breeders — often in response to perceived public demand — to exaggerate a breed's characteristics, making the small smaller, the big bigger and the wrinkly wrinklier.
To some, what has transpired — even if there's no clear villain, even though it's subtle, even though it has been stretched out (Dachshund-like) over time — is tantamount to abuse.
Perhaps the biggest dog-welfare issue in America is the reckless breeding of purebred dogs, which produces an incredible laundry list of inherited disorders, congenital health problems and welfare concerns for the animals," Wayne Pacelle, HSUS president and CEO wrote in his blog just before the conference began.
Jemima Harrison, producer of "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" and one of the conference's featured speakers, doesn't see eye to eye with Pacelle, or the HSUS, on many points, but she agrees on that one.
In an interview, Harrison said, "It's not as obvious an abuse as someone taking an iron bar and smashing a dog's head in, or raising it in a puppy mill, but I do think it's abuse nonetheless. The iron bar is more obvious, but I think it's a slower, more insidious abuse to breed a dog knowing that you are condemning it to a lifelong painful problem."
Subtlety was not the path Harrison chose for her documentary. She admits that "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" was "a bit of a sledgehammer." She purposely chose to feature the most powerful and, as in the case of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, most heart wrenching cases in the documentary.
Cavaliers are prone to syringomyelia, a condition in which fluid-filled cavities occur within the spinal cord near the brain. In severe cases, a dog's brain swells beyond the space provided by its skull, leaving no options but pain, euthanasia or risky surgery in which the skull is opened to give the brain some room. Some studies have indicated that, due to its prevalence in the breed's gene pool, 30 to 70 percent of Cavaliers will develop the condition.
In reality, the condition is not the most common genetic ailment of Cavaliers, but it is the most painful, and the most painful to watch. Harrison makes no secret of the fact that, aware as she was of other exposés over the years that didn't lead to sustained interest or significant change; she was wanted to make an impact.
She succeeded, due perhaps to the documentary's powerful images or the compelling evidence it presented. Maybe video gets through to us more effectively than the written word. Or maybe it aired at the right place at the right time.
"I think it worked because we were on prime-time television, on BBC One, the top channel," she said. "Some people said it was sensationalized and belabored the point, but I think people recognized the essential truth of it."
The Kennel Club in Britain initially discounted much of what Harrison reported. But after a private panel upheld nearly all of the documentary's findings and organizations like the RSPCA and the Dogs Trust got behind the cause, a few small steps were made; since then, in increments, more have been taken.
Britain's Kennel Club has banned the registration of puppies from closely related parents (such as fathers and daughters) and many breed standards, which describe what an ideal specimen of the breed should be, have been revised so to emphasize health and soundness more than appearance. Some extreme physical features that were once rewarded in the show ring are now penalized.
The new Pekingese standard, Harrison noted in an interview, specifies that a "muzzle must be evident." Despite resistance from some breed groups to the rewritten standards, she said, "it was decided the Pekingese ought to have a bit of face in order to be able to breathe." Harrison says the Kennel Club has introduced an unprecedented number of measures aimed at improving purebred health and welfare. "There is a welcome change of tone in the world of pedigree dogs and some real evidence at Crufts this year that judges were rewarding more moderate dogs (although very clearly not in every breed)," she noted on her continuing blog, which is also called Pedigree Dogs Exposed.
Therein could be another clue as to why the issue has stayed alive in the UK. Most journalists, documentary makers and book writers, after taking on an issue, leave it behind and move on. Harrison has remained on top of it, to the point of being commissioned by the BBC to make a follow-up film assessing the progress that has been made since the first one aired.
For multiple reasons, after the wakeup call Harrison issued, the public didn't roll over and go back to sleep. But as she notes, hers was hardly the first warning about the dangers of inbreeding: "I looked back at who had tried to raise the alarm on purebred dogs, and we found people trying to do that going back as far as 1962, and even way beyond that — in Roman times."
In the U.S., it has happened somewhat regularly since 1990.
That year, an article by Mark Derr came out in The Atlantic. The cover of the magazine featured a yellow Lab with a mouthful of cash. The piece was titled, "The Politics of Dogs: How greed and AKC policies are endangering the health and quality of American dogs."
Derr's 1997 book, Dog's Best Friend, probed even more deeply into American dog culture and the dangers of inbreeding. In his conclusion, he notes, "In essence, the inbreeding of animals for appearance alone and the mass production of puppies to feed consumer demand have led to an epidemic of genetic disorders, and the loss of temperamental soundness and working ability in most purebred dogs recognized by the AKC."
The prevalence of health problems in purebreds made the cover of Time magazine in 2001, in an article written by Michael Lemonick, titled, "A Terrible Beauty."
"The appalling truth," it said, "is that as many as 25 percent of the 20 million purebred dogs in America — one in four animals — are afflicted with a serious genetic problem. German Shepherds, for example, run an even higher risk of hip dysplasia than do Golden Retrievers. Labrador Retrievers are prone to dwarfing … Newfoundlands can drop dead from cardiac arrests. Chinese Shar-Peis, the wrinkly dogs that don't seem to fit into their skin, have congenital skin disorders."
In 2003, Consumer Reports concluded, "The demand for ever-moreperfect purebred dogs has concentrated bad recessive genes and turned many pets into medical nightmares." And in 2010, All Animals, an HSUS publication, produced a comprehensive report on the genetic health problems of purebreds, "The Purebred Paradox: Is the quest for the 'perfect' dog driving a genetic health crisis?"
Given that media coverage, you'd think the issue would at least be up there with dog-fighting. But, among the general dog-loving populace, it doesn't seem to have secured a hold. That's not to imply that no one is doing anything. Scientists are studying it, respectable breeders are trying to stay on top of it and some breed groups have made it a priority. The American Kennel Club has funneled millions of dollars to research projects.
Yet, some still say the response pales in comparison to the problem, and that, on top of research, some reinvention may be called for — of dog shows, of our ideas surrounding the "purity" of purebreds, and even of the venerable American Kennel Club.
The AKC sent no official representative to the April conference, though two people who had served on AKC boards or advisory panels attended. Traditionally, the organization has sidestepped most media inquiries on the topic. (AKC officials declined requests for interviews for this story, providing instead a copy of its "Canine Health Fact Sheet.")
"Both in Europe and here, kennel clubs are doing a very fine job of putting their heads in the sand over this and hoping, if they keep a low profile, people will ignore it," James Serpell, director of the Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society based at the University of Pennsylvania, said in an interview before the conference.
Serpell, who helped coordinate the event, said the AKC declined invitations. "Considering the goal of the conference, it's really rather shortsighted," he said in an interview. "The conference is not about banning pedigreed dogs, as some extreme blogs are suggesting, but ways of improving the situation, which is causing a lot of animal suffering and a lot of owner suffering as well. When you in good faith buy a puppy that becomes ill down the road, that's a terrible experience. It is shattering, emotionally gut-wrenching and enormously expensive."
The nonprofit American Kennel Club, founded in 1884, has among its core values to "protect the health and well-being of all dogs" and "advance canine health." It notes that since its founding in 1995, the AKC Canine Health Foundation has provided $25 million to more than 560 research projects at 75 vet schools and research institutes worldwide to improve the health of all dogs. It has also, in conjunction with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, established the Canine Health Information Center to encourage health testing by breeders and improve breeding programs.
But it's the steps not taken and the traditions unchanged that concern those who see the organization as contributing to the problem even as it contributes to research.
What more could it be doing? Critics say the AKC could mandate health testing, rather than encourage it; work with breed clubs to establish standards that emphasize health and vitality; impose restrictions on inbreeding, prohibiting the mating of immediate relatives; and, anathema as the idea may be to some, consider permitting "crossbreeding," or mating purebreds with dogs outside the breed, to broaden the gene pool and improve health.
On top of that, some suggest fundamental changes in dog shows, transforming them from "beauty contests" to more performance-based events that honor the various breeds' disappearing working heritage. At such shows, dogs who exhibit extreme physical characteristics would be penalized rather than rewarded. And dogs who are paying for their "look" by living lives of discomfort — as was apparently the case in the UK with the 2003 Crufts champion, a Pekingese who had to be photographed sitting on ice blocks because he was so prone to overheating — should have no place in them.
The view that AKC policies are adding to the problem of genetic health issues in purebreds has kept some breed clubs from pursuing AKC recognition. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America is one of them. Jack Russell Terriers are not one of AKC's 173 recognized breeds, and the club doesn't want them to be.
The club is "emphatically opposed to recognition of the Jack Russell Terrier by any kennel club or all-breed registry," according to its website. "Recognition, it is believed, will be detrimental to the preservation of the Jack Russell as the sound, intelligent strain of working terrier it has been for more than 100 years … Inbreeding and breeding for the show ring will change the physical and mental structure of the dog. It will lose its purpose and its original character, as well as its mental and physical soundness, and will become something entirely different … whatever suits the whim of those controlling that variant of the terrier."
The association prohibits the breeding of father to daughter, mother to son, and brother to sister because of the genetic health problems that can arise. And unlike the AKC-approved standard for the similar Parson Russell Terrier, its standards for the Jack Russell afford a great amount of leeway in appearance.
There is no "ideal," the website says. "The 'ideal' is what suits their owner for what they want/need to do with their terrier. That is the uniqueness of this diverse terrier. The diversity … is what makes the Jack Russell Terrier suitable for a variety of working and performance abilities — in contrast with the narrow, cosmetic breed standards of many show breeds."
One of the most black-and-white examples of what a closed registry can lead to can be found in the Dalmatian.
Registries, or stud books, are traditionally closed by the AKC once a dog breed is officially recognized, or shortly thereafter. That means no new stock enters the line and the gene pool is closed. By definition, every new AKCregistered member of that breed who is born is related to an existing member.
Because mutated genes can be recessive, or skip a generation — physical signs don't always show up and tests have only recently been developed to detect them — dogs carrying a gene mutation can unknowingly be bred, and commonly have been, spreading the disorder further. Over time, that can lead to mutated genes being passed through the population to the point that a majority of a breed's registered members are affected.
All AKC Dalmatians now carry a version of a mutated gene that predisposes them to bladder stones, known as "urate stones," which are sometimes treatable, sometimes fatal.
In 1973, Robert Schaible, PhD, a geneticist and breeder of Dalmatians, saw a solution to the problem. He crossed a Dalmatian with a Pointer, a similar and closely related breed, and produced offspring that, though their spots were initially less defined, looked like Dalmatians and carried the normal gene for uric acid production.
The offspring and their descendants were backcrossed to purebred Dalmatians for many generations, resulting in dogs who, some insist, are now indistinguishable from purebred Dalmatians. But are they purebred Dalmatians?
For more than three decades, that point has been argued. In 1981, four generations after the backcross, the Dalmatian Club of America's board of directors sought and was granted AKC registration for two descendants of Schaible's project, known as Low Uric Acid Dalmatians. When the club's membership found out, there was an uproar, and the AKC refused to register any offspring that contained Pointer blood.
In 2006, and again in 2008, the club's membership voted against registering the dogs.
Meanwhile, Dr. Schaible has continued breeding Low Uric Acid, or LUA, Dalmatians (luadalmatians.com), who are accepted for registration by the United Kennel Club and, as of last year, were recognized as purebreds by the Kennel Club in Britain. The AKC has yet to officially accept them, but the AKC's Health & Welfare Advisory Committee, in a report, concluded it should.
"Because the introduction of the low uric acid dogs into the AKC registry gives Dalmatian breeders a scientifically sound method of voluntarily reducing the incidence of the condition, this committee strongly recommends some controlled program of acceptance of these dogs. Where the strict health and welfare of the breed is the over-riding concern, no other argument can be made."
Within the Dalmatian Club of America, an intense debate continues. "Allow us to produce Dalmatians that can ingest levels of protein considered optimal for the species. Allow us to breed Dalmatians that can live normal healthy lives in the average pet household employing normal husbandry practices for pet dogs," concluded a report representing those in favor of bringing LUA Dalmatians into the ranks. "The club suffered from bad PR [public relations] in the past over deafness and temperament issues. We believe that if the public learns we actually voted to deny acceptance of Dals with a gene which corrects such a well-known, serious defect in the breed, the club will be irreparably tarnished — and rightly so."
A paper representing the other side argues that the extent of the disorder is not fully known, it can often be addressed with new drug therapies and it hasn't been proven that introducing LUA Dalmatians will totally solve the problem. "Dogs have 99 percent of their genes in common. … It's the remaining 1 percent of the canine genome that separates them into distinctly different breeds," the report reads. "That is not a little matter to someone who dedicates a big part of their life to preserving and caring for a particular breed. What appears as a miniscule fraction of the canine genome is a huge percentage of what distinguishes our breed from others. As protectors of our breed, it is our duty to guard those factors that make a Dalmatian a Dalmatian, and with facts, not unproven theories."
In a way, the purebred dilemma goes to the very core of our thinking about dogs, and the generally accepted view that man has dominion over them. We shaped them, based at first on the work we wanted them to do. We placed them in neat categories and then took steps to keep those categories pure. Some see that pursuit as arbitrary and anachronistic; some see it as honorable. But rare is the person who doesn't see the amazing diversity of breeds that resulted as worth preserving, treasuring and fighting for.
While the genetic health problems of purebreds may not be a high-profile issue for the general public, it is among breeders and the scores of breed clubs. To many of their members, organizations like HSUS have no place in the debate. Whatever agreement may exist in terms of a common cause — healthy animals — is undermined in America by a lack of trust among many of those who breed dogs and some animal welfare organizations.
Many breeders see HSUS as intent on bringing a halt to dog breeding, if not pet ownership. That point of view is based on actions HSUS has taken against large-scale and neglectful breeders and the organization's stance when it comes to puppy mills, spaying and neutering, and the sales of dogs in stores. Those who accuse HSUS of having a hidden agenda also point to a statement attributed to HSUS President Pacelle.
"We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding," he was quoted as saying 14 years ago, before he joined the organization. Pacelle says he was misquoted, and that the remark was taken out of context. (He was talking about cattle.)
The "Purebred Paradox" conference ended with a call to bridge the rift between those who breed dogs and those who identify themselves as members of animal welfare organizations.
"We are going to have to heal that fissure before we can heal the dogs that we all know and love," said the final speaker, Stephen L. Zawistowski, science advisor of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
His comment had a shallow ring to Sharyn Hutchens, legislative liaison for the Virginia Federation of Dog Clubs and Breeders, who blogged about the conference, which was attended by only a handful of breeders.
She called his remarks "inspiring and reasonable and, sadly, totally unrealistic considering that if the goals of the AR [animal rights] world were achieved, there would be no more breeding. But it sounded real nice and if you didn't know the history of the disagreements between breeders and the animal rights movement, you'd have thought this conference was sincerely about doing what's best for dogs and working together to solve problems."
Hutchens, while acknowledging that the conference was informative, polite and not the breeder-bashing fest she feared, still viewed it as HSUS sticking its nose where it didn't belong. "Nothing the animal rights organizations can do will help, unless they would like to make a contribution to the AKC Canine Health Foundation or fund a parent club health study."
"I have no illusions — and neither should other breeders — that this will be the end of HSUS's interest in purebred dogs," she wrote. "Those of us who have been fighting the animal rights movement for the past 10 years have always said that after the commercial breeders, they'd be targeting show breeders. This is the first salvo."
Even Jemima Harrison, who disagrees with HSUS on several issues, says she had second thoughts about attending — partly out of fear of being seen as "in league" with HSUS, partly because conferences are, after all, just conferences. "Will a conference make America roll over and sort out its pedigree dog problem? No."
Then again, as HSUS sees it, one has to start, or restart, somewhere, and if there's any issue dog lovers should be able to get together on, it's this one.
"Every dog lover," Pacelle noted, "should be on the same page … and no one — least of all those in the world of the dog fancy — should settle for anything less than the highest health standards for the animals we love so much."

Mangaluru, Apr 16, 2015: As recently reported here, State government has started cleaning the Gujjarakere, an old lake between Jeppu market, Morgan's Gate and Mphasis, now a residential area, for the third time in in the last 9 years, even now people in the area allege that sewage continues to flow in to the lake. People question the government's decision to clean it up again without plugging the flow of sewage, which they say is mainly responsible for the growth of hyacinth and water contamination.
The lake had been cleaned of hyacinth and silt in 2002 and 2009, when a concrete tank bund was constructed as part of the lake rejuvenation drive. Hyacinth is being removed in the lake for one month with authorities allegedly doing little to prevent seepage of sewage. ' Gujjarakere Theertha Samrakshana Vedike', ha been fighting for the restoration of the lake that is spread over 3.5 acres. Restoration is needed to improve the quality of groundwater in the area.
The residents insisted on action being taken to prevent seepage in front of Superintending Engineer (Minor Irrigation) Suresh Babu on April 15, during an inspection of the works.
Neemu Kottari of the vedike said the sewage seeping in must be first stopped. Superintending Engineer stated that it was a long process as it involved shifting the sewage line. He told residents that for the time being they would block the portion of space from where sewage was seeping into the lake. But residents did not favour the idea.
The Minor Irrigation Department had taken up cleaning of hyacinth and removing silt from the lake in 2002. Following agitation by the vedike, the Bharatiya Janata Party government allotted Rs. 2 crore to the Mangaluru City Corporation to restore the lake. An amount of Rs. 25 lakh had been allotted to beautify the tank bund areas where, among other, a jogging track with inter-locking tiles was to come up.
A few weeks after the completion of the work, a portion of the tank bund came down and hyacinth grew thick and fast in the lake. MLA J.R. Lobo has now taken up the case of restoration of the lake for which the State Government has allotted Rs. 1 crore.

Дрена́жные машины на железнодорожном транспорте — путевы́е машины для сооружения закрытых продольных или поперечных дренажей земляного полотна на участках, требующих осушения при строительстве, ремонте и текущем содержании железнодорожного пути.

История появления
На железных дорогах СССР в конце 1950-х годов созданы дренажные машины для продольного дренажа, которые перемещались тяговой лебёдкой по специальному пути-копиру, параллельному железнодорожному пути. В конце 1970-х годов предложена конструкция дренажной машины на базе цепного траншейного экскаватора на гусеничном ходу, которая не нуждается в прокладке дополнительного пути.

Конструкция и принцип работы
Различают дренажные машины поперечного и продольного дренажа.

Дренажная машина для продольного дренажа работает в выемках, на нулевых местах и станционных путях. Ковшовый рабочий орган образует траншею глубиной 2,3 и шириной 0,5 метра, в которую укладываются соединённые эластичными муфтами керамзито-бетонные трубофильтры, поступающие через трубоукладочное устройство. Открытый грунт подаётся конвейерами на засыпку уложенных трубофильтров. Продольный уклон (до 0,005°/00) и заданная глубина траншеи обеспечиваются следящей копирно-тросовой системой. Предварительнаяя планировка трассы производится бульдозером или автогрейдером. Производительность дренажной машины в грунтах первой группы до 80 м/ч, масса машины 12 тонн.

Дренажная машина для поперечных дренажей создана в 1950-х годах на базе железнодорожной платформы с рабочим органом скребкового типа (конструкции В.X. Балашенко). В 1970-е годы разработана дренажная машина имеющая горизонтальный шнековый буровой рабочий орган с приводом от двигателя внутреннего сгорания. Дренажная машина предназначена для работы на откосах насыпей или выемок при осушении балластных углублений (в том числе для выпуска свободной воды из лож, мешков и карманов земляного полотна), а также для бурения скважин при укладке коммуникационных линий под железнодорожным полотном или автомобильной дорогой. Машина надёжно закрепляется на откосе, что обеспечивает поддержание заданного уклона скважины, который контролируется съёмным прицельным устройством. Скважина заполняется трубофильтрами, дренирующим материалом (песок, гравий, мелкий щебень) или остаётся незаполненной (вентиляционная). Габариты и масса (550 кг) позволяют транспортировать машину на автомобиле. Диаметр буровых скважин 0,11 и 0,15 метра, длина до 30 метров; скорость подачи шнеков 6 мм/с; мощность двигателя 9 кВт.

В 1980-е годы создана дренажная машина на базе узкотраншейного экскаватора с навесным оборудованием, отрывающая траншеи шириной 0,27 метра, глубиной до 1,6 метра. С помощью оборудования дренажная машина укладывает на дно траншеи гибкие дрены из трубофильтров или пластмассовых гофрированных труб и засыпает траншею плугом. Рабочая скорость машины до 800 м/ч.

В мире
В некоторых странах (Нидерланды, Франция, Германия, Великобритания, США) нашли применение дренажные машины на железнодорожном ходу, работающие при закрытом на ремонт пути.

Компания Georgetown Rail Equipment выпускает комплекс Slot Machine для рытья канав и траншей, в состав которого входят сочлененные полувагоны без торцовых стенок и передвигающийся по ним экскаватор. Низкие боковые стенки не препятствуют работе экскаватора. Эти комплексы эксплуатируются с 1992 года. на железных дорогах первого класса США, в Канаде и Мексике. Благодаря многофункциональности комплекс можно в течение одного рабочего дня использовать для выборки кюветов, а на другой день для подборки шпал или рельсов. Такая универсальность позволяет эффективно использовать возможности этого комплекса и сводить к минимуму простои.

Компания Knox Kershaw предлагает новую технологию улучшения дренажа на железных дорогах США. Эта технология применяется в Европе с 1979 года, в первую очередь в Германии. В машине DCM 600 используются два узла: роторный канавокопатель и разравнивающий плуг. Благодаря этому машина не только копает и очищает кюветы, но также формирует откосы на земляном полотне для отвода воды из балласта в кюветы. DCM 600 может работать на обе стороны пути и в обоих направлениях, по сравнению с другими машинами такого типа имеет наибольшую производительность и может стать наиболее эффективной и экономичной машиной для рытья кюветов и устройства дренажа.

```

## Session Management

If `worker_processes` > 1 there will be more than one jvm instances viz. more tomcat instances so to get synchronized session information we can not use the default tomcat session manger.
Instead we may consider to use either of
1. Cookied based Session Store  viz. storing all session attribute information into cookies.
1. Shared HashMap among processes in the same machine ,e.g. [Chronicle Map](https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Map)
1. External Session Store,  e.g.  Redis / MySQL / Memcached Session Store

## About Performance

### Disable Tomcat Access Log

When we need access log , use Nginx access log instead of Tomcat access log.

In server.xml comment AccessLogValve configuration to disable Tomcat access log.

```xml
<!--
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
               prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
               pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
-->
```

###Disable logging to console

Because Tomcat console log is duplicate with other log such as catalina log, manager log ,etc, so it can be disabled.
In conf/logging.properties remove all `java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler`

```shell
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler, 2localhost.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler, 3manager.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler, 4host-manager.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler

.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler
```

### Don't Enable Tomcat Compression

By default compression is off , do not turn it on.

```xml
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" compression="off"
```
If we need compression use nginx gzip filter instead. e.g. In nginx.conf

```nginx
location /examples {
    gzip on;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css 'text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1' 'text/html;charset=UTF-8';
}
```
`gzip` can also appear at http, server blocks. More details can be found [HERE](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html)

Coupa Cola
Un-Cola Nuts,
 I've lived through a few coups. They're insane, random, and terrifying, like watching sports, except your political future depends on the score.
 The kickoff begins when a key official decides to buck the executive. From that moment, government becomes a high-speed head-counting exercise. Who's got the power plant, the airport, the police in the capital? How many department chiefs are answering their phones? Who's writing tonight's newscast?
 When the KGB in 1991 tried to reassume control of the crumbling Soviet Union by placing Mikhail Gorbachev under arrest and attempting to seize Moscow, logistics ruled. Boris Yeltsin's crew drove to the Russian White House in ordinary cars, beating KGB coup plotters who were trying to reach the seat of Russian government in armored vehicles. A key moment came when one of Yeltsin's men, Alexander Rutskoi – who two years later would himself lead a coup against Yeltsin – prevailed upon a Major in a tank unit to defy KGB orders and turn on the "criminals."
 We have long been spared this madness in America. Our head-counting ceremony was Election Day. We did it once every four years.
 That's all over, in the Trump era.
 On Thursday, news broke that two businessmen said to have "peddled supposedly explosive information about corruption involving Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden" were arrested at Dulles airport on "campaign finance violations." The two figures are alleged to be bagmen bearing "dirt" on Democrats, solicited by Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
 Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman will be asked to give depositions to impeachment investigators. They're reportedly going to refuse. Their lawyer John Dowd also says they will "refuse to appear before House Committees investigating President Donald Trump." Fruman and Parnas meanwhile claim they had real derogatory information about Biden and other politicians, but "the U.S. government had shown little interest in receiving it through official channels."
 For Americans not familiar with the language of the Third World, that's two contrasting denials of political legitimacy.
 The men who are the proxies for Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani in this story are asserting that "official channels" have been corrupted. The forces backing impeachment, meanwhile, are telling us those same defendants are obstructing a lawful impeachment inquiry.
 This latest incident, set against the impeachment mania and the reportedly "expanding" Russiagate investigation of U.S. Attorney John Durham, accelerates our timeline to chaos. We are speeding toward a situation when someone in one of these camps refuses to obey a major decree, arrest order, or court decision, at which point Americans will get to experience the joys of their political futures being decided by phone calls to generals and police chiefs.
 My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump's early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don't see this because they're not used to waking up in a country where you're not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don't understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.
 The Trump presidency is the first to reveal a full-blown schism between the intelligence community and the White House. Senior figures in the CIA, NSA, FBI and other agencies made an open break from their would-be boss before Trump's inauguration, commencing a public war of leaks that has not stopped...
 It was also a bold new foray into domestic politics by intelligence agencies that in recent decades began asserting all sorts of frightening new authority. They were kidnapping foreigners, assassinating by drone, conducting paramilitary operations without congressional notice, building an international archipelago of secret prisons, and engaging in mass warrantless surveillance of Americans. We found out in a court case just last week how extensive the illegal domestic surveillance has been, with the FBI engaging in tens of thousands of warrantless searches involving American emails and phone numbers under the guise of combating foreign subversion.
 The agencies' new trick is inserting themselves into domestic politics using leaks and media pressure. The "intel chiefs" meeting was just the first in a series of similar stories, many following the pattern in which a document was created, passed from department from department, and leaked...
 I don't believe most Americans have thought through what a successful campaign to oust Donald Trump would look like. Most casual news consumers can only think of it in terms of Mike Pence becoming president. The real problem would be the precedent of a de facto intelligence community veto over elections, using the lunatic spookworld brand of politics that has dominated the last three years of anti-Trump agitation.

But I thought the US was pulling soldiers out of the Mideast!
 The Pentagon has increased the number of US forces in the Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations by about 14,000 since May this year, as it continues to lock horns with Tehran. Not all of those went to Saudi Arabia, however, as CENTCOM's area of operations covers the entire Middle East, including Afghanistan and Syria.

Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach revealed on Wednesday that former Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 from Burisma Group for lobbying activities, citing materials related to an investigation.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water someone poked a couple of holes in an oil tanker belonging to Iran. This sent oil prices up briefly in the vain hope of stabilizing them. But, strangely, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was silent.
This was a warning to Iran from someone on the Saudi/Israeli/U.S. side, "You won't win without costs."
Well, of course, that's true. The big question everyone is asking is, of course, "Who did this?"...
 If the neocons and Israeli Firsters in Congress (and formerly in his cabinet) have turned on Trump to the point of starting impeachment proceedings against him for not going to war with Iran, then Trump is free to finally just blow it all wide open.
 Which is exactly what he is doing. The Kurds were simply mercenaries to help us defeat ISIS. Job's done, your beef with Turkey is your problem.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper told "Face the Nation" in a Sunday interview that the Trump administration is "preparing to evacuate" about 1,000 U.S. troops from northern Syria "as safely and quickly as possible," CBS reports...
This also comes after a week ago Trump ordered the withdrawal of US troops from northern border posts ahead of a Turkish military incursion to establish a so-called 'safe zone'. That decision has been met with fierce push back among Congressional leaders and pundits, angry at the US "betrayal" of its Syrian Kurdish partners, namely the US-funded and trained Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unleashed a verbal attack against the Saudi and Egyptian governments on Thursday after the latter two states criticized Ankara's new military incursion in Syria.
 "Saudi Arabia has to look in the mirror before it criticizes the peace process," Erdogan said in a speech during an expanded meeting of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), as quoted by the Anatolia news agency .
 "Who brought Yemen to this situation, except Saudi Arabia, and the Egyptian president in particular, has no right to speak at all, he is a killer of democracy in his country."

UC Berkeley Chancellor Blames Sovereignty Defenders for Tucson Massacre
Far left loons from far and wide have been shouting invective upon Saturday's shooting in Arizona, blaming free speech from conservatives as the cause, even though the perp appears to be a paranoid schizophrenic with a long rap sheet of anti-social behavior and no political affiliation.
In California, Robert J. Birgeneau, [Email him] the Chancellor of the University of California has seen fit to join the liberal cluster rant, by sending an e-mail to the entire UC system. The missive has shown up in the media, like the San Francisco Chronicle (where hundreds of readers commented, mostly negatively).
He complains about "discrimination against undocumented persons," which most Americans would describe as the rule of law.
Chancellor issues statement on Arizona shootings, UC Berkeley News, January 10, 2011
Dear members of our campus community:
This weekend's shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the deaths and injuries of many others in the horrific event at Tucson, Arizona have shocked our nation. We here at UC Berkeley offer our sincere condolences to everyone who has been personally affected by this tragedy.
Such a brutal and violent attack on an individual who has devoted herself to public service is deeply regrettable. It calls upon us as an academic community to stop and ponder the climate in which such an act can be contemplated, even by a mind that is profoundly disturbed. A climate in which demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated can lead to such a tragedy. I believe that it is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons. This same mean-spirited xenophobia played a major role in the defeat of the Dream Act by legislators in Washington, leaving many exceptionally talented and deserving young people, including our own undocumented students, painfully in limbo with regard to their futures in this country.
On our own campus, and throughout all the campuses of the University of California, we must continue to work toward a climate of equity and inclusion for all. We must be vigilant to condemn hate speech and acts of vandalism on our campuses by those wanting to promote enmity. We must work to support dialogue about our differences and eschew expressions of demonization of others, including virulent attacks on Israel, anti-Muslim graffiti, racism towards African-Americans, Chicano/Latinos and other underrepresented minority groups, and homophobic acts. Continuing to support our principles of community will ensure a better and safer campus. We must do this now so that our students, as future leaders of this great country, will continue to set the standard for a better and safer nation.
Robert J. Birgeneau, Chancellor, UC Berkeley
Birgeneau is no stranger to pushing the diversity line to the max, against traditional citizenship and national sovereignty. He enthusiastically supported the DREAM Act, despite the fact that it would have enabled more alien students to take valued slots from citizens.
In 2005, he complained about insufficient skin-color variety (Cal chancellor warns of diversity crisis), even though UC Berkeley has had more Asian undergrads than whites for years. By 2007, UCB was 70 percent non-white.
In fact, the New York Times reported in a 2007 piece about how UC Berkeley had become very Chinese (Little Asia on the Hill) quoted a student remarking that "Here, many people speak Chinese as their primary language."
As an illustration, note the sign in Chinese in the 2010 photo below of students protesting tuition increases near Berkeley's iconic Sather Gate. Diverse enough yet?


This Matcha Mille Crepe Cake is based on a classic French pastry called Gâteau Mille Crêpes. 'Mille' literally means 'thousands' in French and even though the 'cake' is made of 10 to 20 layers, I promise you it feels like thousands when you're making the crepes! It's all worth it, though when you cut a slice to reveal all that instagrammable matcha prettiness!
If you're not a matcha fan, then skip to these Brown Butter Pancakes with Chestnut Ice Cream (perfect for Autumn!) or these Milk Tart Pancakes with Cinnamon Crumble. Matcha fans, step this way!
What makes matcha tea so special (and expensive) is the fact that it's made from the best green tea leaves. The leaves are usually grown in the shade to intensify the dark green colour (I won't bore you with the chlorophyll sciencey stuff) and it also gives a serious boost to the theanine and caffeine.Only the finest tea buds are hand-picked, leaves de-veined and de-stemmed, and then stone-ground make the delicate, fine powder. It can take up to one hour to grind 30 grams of matcha! See, I told you making all those pancakes for this is worth it!
Also, note that matcha comes in different grades; if you're cooking with it, don't waste your cash by buying 'ceremonial grade'. This is the highest quality and the most expensive (it's supposed to be good enough to be used in temples) but will be wasted if heated to a high heat. Also don't buy it in large quantities – use it quickly after opening as it oxidizes and loses its flavour quite quickly!
To make the pancakes, place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk and whisk into the dry ingredients with the melted butter and the matcha powder. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Heat a non-stick pan and ladle a small amount of batter into the pan. Swirl the pan around to evenly coat it with batter. When the edges begin to lift, flip over and cook the other side until brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. This will go faster if you work with two frying pans at a time.
To make the custard filling, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornflour and 1/4 cup of the milk together in a large bowl to make a paste. Heat the remaining milk and bring to the boil. Gradually add the hot mixture to the paste while whisking. Return to the heat and whisk continuously over a medium heat until the custard thickens. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Soften the gelatin sheet in cold water, squeeze out any excess water and mix into the hot custard. Spread the custard out on a baking tray, cover the surface with clingfilm and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, whisk the custard until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream.
To assemble the Matcha Mille Crepe Cake, put a crêpe on a plate or cake stand then spread with a thin layer of custard cream. Lightly dust with icing sugar and matcha powder. Repeat and stack until the cream and crêpes are used up, finishing with a crepe layer. Chill for 2 hours, then dust with matcha and cut into wedges to serve.

What is the average time frame to implement a planning application using SEM-BPS?
It depends on the complexity of the planning model that is to be developed in SEM-BPS. However, a good estimate would be 5-6 months for an average SEM-BPS project with 8-10 infocubes including transactional ones, 8-10 Planning Areas, 250-300 planning steps and 30-50 users.
