From Island to Archipelago: Luca Nichetto
We talk to designer Luca Nichetto about his childhood in Murano, living and designing in Scandinavia and his new lighting collection 'Fusa' for Svenskt Tenn
Text by Lara Chapman
In 1219, the Venetian government banned all glassmaking furnaces from the city of Venice and moved them to an island to the north of the city called Murano. This move was strategic in two ways. Firstly, it ensured the safety of the crowded city of Venice by removing the risk of fires. But secondly, it also ensured that the master glass blowers were isolated, protecting their precious and valuable glassmaking secrets on an island of creation. The glassblowing skills were so highly valued that anyone who divulged them risked the penalty of death.
800 years later, the rules and regulations around the island and its glassblowing community have, thankfully, relaxed. However, being born and raised on the island of Murano still makes you privy to a unique and traditional way of life that centers around the material of glass. Designer Luca Nichetto comes from a long line of glassmakers who have passed their knowledge from generation to generation. Departing from the traditional route of remaining in Murano to pursue a career in glass, Nichetto splits his time between his studio in the archipelagos of Sweden and Venice. His latest collection of lighting, Fusa, for the Swedish interiors company Svenskt Tenn mixes his Italian past with his Scandinavian present.
TLmag caught up with Luca Nichetto to discuss how the island of Murano has shaped his practice and the experience of living in Scandinavia:
TLmag: Let's start at the beginning, what it was like to grow up in Murano?
Luca Nichetto: On the island, especially in the mid-70s when I was born, 99% of the population was living off the glass industry. My grandfather was a glass master, specializing in making chandeliers, my mother decorated glass and a lot of relatives and friends were also involved in the industry. So it was quite normal for me, as a kid growing up in this kind of environment, to see the tools and drawings used for this kind of work and then I would see how these drawings became objects. To see that was something very natural.
Later on, I went to study in Venice at the Institute of Art. For obvious reasons, I chose to specialize in glass. During the summertimes my classmate and I went knocking on the doors of different factories with a folder full of drawings, selling these designs—not because I wanted to be a designer because I didn't really know that job existed but just because we wanted to make some money to have fun during the summer time.
Then, I went to the University of Architecture in Venice as it was opening a new course in Industrial design and it matched very well with what I wanted to do.
During my studies, a lot of professors called me "Glass Boy" because everything that I was doing or designing was for glass. For me, this was because I could really see an object materializing from my ideas and drawings in glass.
The ritual of knocking on the doors and doing this tour also continued [laughs]. During that time, before I finished my studies I was lucky to knock on the door of Salviati, a very important manufacturer a the time.
The art director of Salviati was Simon Moore, a British designer who specialized in glass. Simon looked at my folder full of drawings and he said I want to buy everything and I was thinking "Wow, it's going to be a fantastic summer for me! What luck!" but he also mentioned that he probably would not realize any of the pieces. I asked him why he was buying them and he said: "I want to show you that I really appreciate and see that you are talented but you need to get some experience." He asked me to pass by Salviati once a week and he could teach these things to me. Doing that, I met designers such as Tom Dixon, Ross Lovegrove, Thomas Heatherwick, Ingo Maurer and many others and other design students. I was very inspired by these people so it was an amazing time.
Finally, in 1999 I received a brief. I was 23 and I had the opportunity to try to develop a design for Salviati. Luckily the vases that I designed called Millebolle became one of the best sellers and are still in production. In the meantime, I applied for an internship at Scalini, the lighting company. My attitude at this time was to constantly think about glass but also be very curious in exploring other materials as well. This was how my career started.
And then, later, you moved to Stockholm…
I live in Sweden now but I have two studios, one in Stockholm and one in Venice.
How do you find working between these two diverse places in terms of different attitudes to design?
There are a lot of differences. I think in Italy, for many reasons, establishing a career as a designer is much more difficult than in the rest of the world. There is such a competition with all the old masters and other colleagues. You really need to struggle to find your own path—much more than in Scandinavia.
In the approach to design, I think the main difference is that Scandinavia is not producing anything anymore in terms of craftsmanship. Everything is now being produced in Eastern Europe or in China. Design in Scandinavia is functional and timeless which I think is one of the positives of Scandinavian design. In Italy, design is still much more related to the craftsmanship and the emphasis that the object can create, more than the functional aspect.
Where do you position yourself between these two design worlds?
For me, to find the balance between the two approaches is very interesting. We need to consider that historically the Scandinavian and Italian design are probably two of the most important places that have shaped how we think about design now.
At the moment, I am quite critical of Scandinavian design because I think there is a lack of quality. On the other hand, for me, quality is not only about cost. You need to make products that allow people to understand that there are skills behind them that take time to achieve. Tradition and legacy are things that we still need to care about, otherwise, in the future, we will live in standardization world which will be much more similar to the Soviet Union than we think it will be.
The Fusa lighting collection that you designed this year for Svenskt Tenn is quite interesting in relation to that idea because they are inspired by the history and legacy of the company. Is this approach of reflecting on the past to inform your designs a recurring method in your practice?
I think knowing the history is important but we also need to look to the future. In that sense, understanding the heritage of something is important, however, it depends on the company that you are working with. If it is a start-up of just three years then it is quite difficult to understand the heritage. If you are working for a traditional brand with a long history it is much easier to understand where their DNA has come. For me, the most important thing is to observe and understand the partner-in-crime that I am working with.
In the case of Svenskt Tenn, everything started from an exhibition that their founder, Estrid Ericson did in 1938 when she went to Murano. During the Second World War, she brought a collection of glass back to Stockholm and held the first exhibition of Murano glass in Scandinavia. After 70 years, because Svenskt Tenn works a lot with their archives and their history, they became interested in this exhibition of Murano glass. I was the perfect person for them because I am a designer from Murano but I live in Sweden. They approached me to ask if I was interested to do something with them.
How did you approach the brief from Svenskt Tenn?
My idea was to look at their iconic textiles. In particular, the textiles of Joseph Frank. 98% of his textiles are very floral and decorative, however, there were two items that he developed called 'Terrazzo' and 'Mosaic' which are much more abstract. When I saw the design of Terrazzo, I immediately felt that this pattern could be made in glass. Glass and terrazzo are also very connected to the history of Venice as terrazzo was used for the first time in the Palace of Venice.
I literally took a piece of the textile and cut out a pebble and started to play with it to figure out how I could make the effect with glass. Later on, thinking of terrazzo, which is small pieces of marble or stone, I thought I should use the old pieces of glass that usually get thrown away. So there was an upcycling process with the colors being made from small fragments of glass.
I decided to call the collection 'Fusa' which, in Italian, means melt. It is not only because the lamp is melted or is glass but also because the product is a kind of melting pot—part of it is the heritage of Svenskt Tenn and part is my heritage in Murano that come together to create that object.
Could you talk a little more about the upcycling of the waste material, is this a common practice in Murano with glass?
It is not a very common practice. We had to find a technique to create a kind of melted terrazzo. You need to know the production methods. In the design, it was important to consider that the pieces will be made in Murano but need to travel to Scandinavia. It was difficult to create a colorful collection from what we call "pot color" which is a kind of slang for the color that is melted in a pot—if we chose exactly the colors we wanted it would be much more expensive and difficult to control for a company that is not based in Murano. So the idea was to reuse the colored pieces that they would normally throw away to find the perfect compromise between beautiful aesthetics and, at the same time, find a new process that can be applied to these kinds migrating objects.
The 'Fusa' collection will be on display at Svenskt Tenn's 'Heritage' exhibition, in the Stockholm store on Strandvägen 5, until March 31

Q: Looking for a hint on the class of a particular equation I've to solve the following nonlinear matrix equation, and I was wondering if there is any bigger class where to fit such an equation so that I can either:

*

*Obtain a closed-form solution (ideal)

*Use appropriate algorithms to solve it numerically.

Assume that $V\in\mathbb{R}^{1\times k}$, $B_i\in\mathbb{R}^{k\times 1}$, $T_i\in\mathbb{R}^{k \times k}$ with $i=1,\dots,k$, and finally $L\in\mathbb{R}^{1\times k}$. The equation reads:
$$V - \sum_{i=1}^{k} VB_iVT_i = L$$
And it has to be solved for $V$ (all the other matrices are assumed to be known). Any help or suggestion will be extremely appreciated! Thanks!!!

A: We are dealing with a system of $k$ equations of second degree in $k$ unknowns $V=(v_i)$. Using the Grobner basis software of Maple, several tries, with various values of $k$, seem to show that:
If we randomly choose (generical case) the $(B_i),(T_i),L$, then we obtain $2^k$ complex solutions, that is, according to the Bezout theorem, the maximum of isolated solutions for a $k-k$ system of degree $2$. For example, when $k=5$, we obtain $32$ complex solutions; curiously, when (for $k=5$ again) we consider the system $V-\sum_{i=1}^{4} VB_iVT_i-L=0$, then we obtain only $31$ solutions.
There is no closed form for the solutions: for example, for $n=3$, Maple gives the result in the form of a triangular decomposition $P_8(v_1)=0,v_2=Q_2(v_1),\cdots,v_n=Q_n(v_1)$ where $P_8$ is a polynomial of degree $8$ and the $Q_i$ are polynomial of degree $7$. The Galois group of $P_8$ is $S_8$ and, consequently, is not solvable. Note that, of the eight roots of $P_8$, only two are real.
The problem with the Grobner's method is that it works badly for not so large values of $k$ as $k=8$. On the other hand, pure Grobner gives all complex solutions; using special methods for the real case, we can obtain only the real solutions. Yet, this method is even slower than the previous one.
So it is better to turn to numerical methods.

Optometrist in Orlando
Improving and maintaining the vision of my patients is a privilege.
Dr. Kranston Gerald Boodram, who grew up in Trinidad, W.I., and attended the Queen's Royal College before moving to the United States, has practiced optometry in Orlando since 1997. While studying electrical engineering as an undergraduate, he worked for the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Vision Science Research Center. After his first eye exam at the university optometry clinic, he was immediately hooked on the field of Optometry.
"I clearly remember the first time I got glasses – and the huge ear-to-ear smile on my face! It is a joy to be able to do that for others," Dr. Boodram states. Helping people see never gets old. It is very rewarding!" Inspired by his own transformative experience with new glasses, he changed his major to biology with a minor in chemistry and earned both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Optometry degrees from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He was elected to the Phi Sigma Biological Sciences Honor Society and was selected to serve as an ambassador for the university in 1992.
While attaining his doctoral degree, Dr. Boodram received various awards including the Southern Council of Optometrists' Clinical Excellence Award, the Silor Optical Award, the Silhouette Award, Ciba Vision Award, the Feinbloom Low Vision Award, and received Beta Sigma Kappa honors upon graduation. He completed his Ocular Disease Residency at The Eye Foundation in Orlando where he also supervised up to six interns per rotation.
Dr. Boodram is a member of the American Optometric Association, the Florida Optometric Association, and the Central Florida Optometric Society through which he served as the Education Trustee for three years. His other professional experiences include Birmingham's Veterans Administration Hospital, the Navajo Indian Health Service, and Birmingham's Children's Hospital. He has also been an adjunct faculty member of NOVA Southeastern University's School of Optometry.
"Vision is a complicated array of processes beginning with optical focus, then the translation of light to electrical impulses, and visual perception," Dr. Boodram explains. "About 30% of the brain itself is used for visual processing compared to just 3 % for hearing. When our bodies are processing all our senses at the same time, approximately 83% of what is being processed is for sight, 11% is for hearing, 3.5% for the smell, 1.5% for touch, and 1.0% for taste. Sight, no doubt, is our most important sense. For me, improving and maintaining the vision of my patients is a privilege."
For many years Dr. Boodram has helped provide primary ophthalmological care to the underprivileged through the Ophthalmology and Urology Medical Mission in the Dominican Republic. Other humanitarian services include optometric care at the Orlando Homeless Shelter and health fair vision screenings.
Dr. Boodram lives in Laureate Park in Orlando with his wife, daughter, and their Miniature Schnauzer, Luna, He enjoys studying the Bible, traveling, movies, and is a huge Orlando Magic fan!

A 4-year-old girl who went missing from a campsite in Australia last month has been found alive.
Cleo Smith was camping with her family at the Blowholes Shacks campsite in Western Australia when she went missing on Oct. 16, according to Australia's ABC News.
Her family said they woke up around 6 a.m. and found that the tent was unzipped higher than the toddler could have reached. Cleo was nowhere to be found, the news outlet reports.
On Wednesday, Cleo was found in a locked home in Carnarvon — about 62 miles from the campsite where she went missing — around 1 a.m. local time, Deputy Commissioner Col Blanch said in a video statement.
For more on Cleo Smith's rescue and other top stories, listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day.
The home was just a few miles from where the 4-year-old lived with her family, ABC News reports.
"One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her 'What's your name?' She said, 'My name is Cleo,' " Blanch said in his statement. Many of the responding officers reportedly wept.
Cleo has been reunited with her family, Blanch confirmed.
"This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for," he said. "It's the outcome we've achieved because of some incredible police work."

According to police, 140 people had been working on Cleo's case. Authorities were offering a A$1 million ($743,000) reward for information about her disappearance.
A local 36-year-old man has been taken into custody in connection with her disappearance, police said during a news conference on Wednesday.
No charges have been filed yet in relation to the case, and police have not identified any other suspects at this time.
Police told reporters that Cleo appeared "physically OK" when she was found. She was taken to the hospital to confirm she had no injuries. The investigation is ongoing at this time.
After Cleo was found, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison celebrated the news on Twitter, writing: "What wonderful, relieving news."
"Cleo Smith has been found and is home safe and sound," Morrison wrote. "Our prayers answered. Thank you to the many police officers involved in finding Cleo and supporting her family."

By K.J. Pilcher
Special for NASCAR Wire Service
NEWTON, Iowa -- Timothy Peters considered it a milestone victory.
It certainly was memorable.
Peters took the lead off a restart with 10 laps remaining to dash to victory in the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series American Ethanol 200 Saturday night at Iowa Speedway. The win was the first of the season, allowing him to increase his season points lead to 12 over Justin Lofton.
"I love Iowa and I love going to places where our results are OK and turning them into a best finish," Peters said. "Today was definitely a milestone in my career, I feel like, because I've never sat on the pole and never led like we did tonight to win the race."
The Red Horse Racing driver claimed his first pole position of the season. He became the third trucks driver in four races to win from the pole.
Peters achieved it in dramatic fashion. A late wreck forced a seventh caution with less than 20 laps remaining to set up the final restart between Peters and veteran Ron Hornaday Jr. When Hornaday spun his tires slightly at the starting lineup, Peters moved ahead, never looked back and pulled away for his fourth career win.
The last caution was a welcome sight to Peters.
"We just launched really well, and got a really good restart and beat him to the corner for a good start into turn 1," said Peters, who was determined to improve his restarts from the Kentucky Speedway race in June. "He couldn't get by. I was sitting there praying that the caution wouldn't come out."
Peters exacted a little revenge from Hornaday, who snatched the lead from him on a restart with 33 laps to go, diving to the inside of both Peters and Johnny Sauter.
"He just came out of nowhere," Peters said of Hornaday. "He's always good on restarts."
Hornaday was just the third leader after more than three-quarters of the race was dominated by Peters and James Buescher, who was vying for his third win of the season.
The pair traded leads, distancing themselves from the field. Buescher was in control when an unexpected accident eliminated him from contention and helped Peters.
Buescher blew his right-front tire, sending him into the wall coming out of Turn 2 on Lap 135.
"We'll take it," Peters said. "I felt like that he and I did have the stronger trucks. It was going to be decided by him or I so in the end I'm glad I'm sitting here talking to (the media)."
Peters lead 87 laps, which was four less than Buescher. He praised the work of his crew for producing a powerful Toyota Tundra.
"I can't thank these guys enough for what we accomplished tonight," Peters said. "Hopefully this is one of many more."
Peters mentioned the importance of a victory to enhance his ability to contend for the points title.
"It's nice to get the monkey off our backs and get to Victory Lane finally," crew chief Butch Hylton said. "We've been working really hard to do that."
Hornaday placed second for his best performance of the season. He was encouraged by the finish.
"We made some adjustments in the race," Hornaday said. "We made it tight. It was just not good enough.
"That was a big leap and gain for the racing team and the new truck we just built. It shows a good sign we're on our track."
Matt Crafton, who won the Coca-Cola 200 last year at Iowa Speedway, was third, giving him four top-four finishes at the 0.875-mile track.
Sunoco Rookie of the Year leader Ty Dillon was the highest finishing rookie. Dillon, who had top-two finishes at Iowa Speedway in the ARCA Series in 2010 and 2011, finished seventh after opening the race in 15th.

Q: SVG Favicon does not refresh when Light/Dark Mode is changed I am using a SVG favicon for light/dark mode with @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) as described here: https://css-tricks.com/dark-mode-favicons/.
This works fine when I load the page. It also displays the favicon correctly when I manually change the dark mode and reload the page.
But when I manually change the dark mode and do not reload, the favicon is not updated.
Is that expected behavior?

We all four of us work together to come up with a solution which is best for your family, albeit a separated one. We have a series of meetings to find solutions to whatever issues need to be resolved.
At the first meeting, both solicitors and you and your partner would sign a Participation Agreement, agreeing the way the meetings should be conducted, and confirming that if either you or your partner decides the process is not right for you, and you would prefer to start Court proceedings, then your solicitors can no longer act for you. This ensures everyone involved is committed to the process and to resolving your issue(s) outside of court.

Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Peak ISIS?
Hosted by Madeleine Brand Oct. 22, 2014
The U.S. military has launched more than 135 airstrikes this month against ISIS in Kobani, a Syrian town near the Turkish border. It's the biggest military campaign the U.S. has waged against the group so far. And it seems to be working, at least to some degree. ISIS hasn't been able to take Kobani. Could this be a turning point?

The state government of Osun has expressed its readiness to partner a broadcasting platform of Vid-Vision Media Nigeria, the Gem TV Africa for the 2018 Commonwealth Africa.
According to the Commissioner for Information and Strategy in the state, Mr Adelani Baderinwa, the state government is ready to explore every available opportunity to hobnob with international community and attract foreign investors to the state.
Baderinwa spoke while receiving the Chief Executive Officer of the Vid-Vision Media Nigeria, Ms. Oladayo Fashola in his office, on Tuesday.
More than 300 global and African thought leaders, eminent personalities and emerging leaders from Africa and other parts of the commonwealth, and friends of Africa are expected to converge at the 5th annual commonwealth Africa summit in London, United Kingdom, between March 12 and 14, 2018.
The event will spark new thinking on how to achieve shared prosperity and common good for Africans and how Africa's growing youth population can transform the continent.
Expected speakers at the event include former Ghanaian President, H.E John D Mahama; the United Nation Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J Mohammed, who is a former Nigerian Minister for Environment; Chief Mrs. Folorunso Alakija, the Chancellor, Osun state University, among others.
Baderinwa maintained that such event would afford the state the opportunity of telling its success story and encouraging African countries to emulate Governor Rauf Aregbesola's social security programme like Osun Youths Empowerment Scheme (OYES), O' MEAL and the delivery of good governance in general.

Earlier this month, OnePlus released the first public beta version of Android 9.0 Pie for OnePlus 6. To become a member of the open testing update, you must download the firmware from the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions to install the files on the smartphone. Less than a week after the release of the first assembly, the company released the second beta version of OxygenOS Open Beta 2 with some performance improvements and optimization of the camera. So soon the output of the 2nd build of the update allows predicting a speedy release of the full version.
The new upgrade brings with it the increased stability of the Wi-Fi connection, optimizes power consumption when the device is running in the background, improves the user interface for the verification codes, has improved the user interface of multitasking and improved the quality of images from the camera. Weighs an update of 1.524 MB and you can download it from this link .
Despite the fact that the manufacturer does not limit the right of users to test the beta version of the update, it is important to keep in mind that it can not boast of stability and sins a number of defects. Namely, in OxygenOS Open Beta 2 does not work Google Pay and a number of applications do not work correctly.


On 1st January 1868 the separate issues of all the German states except Bavaria, Baden and Wurttemburg [i.e. Bremen, Brunswick, Hamburg, Lübeck, Mecklenburg (both) Olenburg, Prussia and Saxony] were withdrawn and replaced by those of the North German Confederation. Two sets were typographed at the Prussian State Printing Works, inscribed in groschen and kreuzer values for the northern and southern disctricts respectively. The first printings were rouletted and perforation introduced in February 1869. Because of the different currency used in Hamburg, an undenominated stamp sold for ½ was used on local mail within the city boundaries.

A Surprise
Posted byemibee1 August 30, 2021 Posted inUncategorized
Another surprise this week. At the Manchester Pride event a gay person was escorted away from the event by the police. As you would expect this has caused some consternation and opinions have been flying back and forth.
The person in question was simply wearing a LGB Alliance T shirt. So what is wrong with that it is gay pride after all? The pride events grew out of the Stonewall fight against homophobia so surely a gay person should have every right to be there. Sadly, the LGB Alliance is transphobic and is campaigning against trans people on the basis that it is not part of and its inclusion is damaging the gay community. In fact the person ejected, a gay man, is complaining that he feels excluded from Pride despite his rather "limp" protest as Pink News reported it.
In truth being gay does not mean you are entitled to be transphobic. The crowd that made their presence felt and expressed their view that he was not welcome because of his transphobic stance was a majority gay crowd. It was not a transgender event. LGBT is a Lesbian Gay and Bi event which includes trans people. Yet the LGB Alliance supporters are up in arms that a gay person was escorted away from the event by the police.
There are many theories about the LGB Alliance, whether it should hold its charitable status, whether it is funded by right wing evangelistic groups. Whether any of that is relevant I do not know. It is clearly anti trans in its stance and Pride is an inclusive event, include trans people.
It seems to me it was provocative to attend a Pride event wearing a LGB Alliance T shirt, it is also concerning that a majority of gay people present were hostile to someone being present wearing such a shirt. It has been asked how come a gay person can attend a Pride event and be harassed by gay people to the extent that they needed police protection and to be escorted a way? The answer would seem to be that the majority of gay people accept that Trans people are going through the hostility that gay people did when Stonewall was set up and the original Pride events began.
I have no time for the kind of protest and hostility that was seen in Manchester, the way forward has to be by talking and education. Resorting to "bashing" any minority, gay or trans is just totally unacceptable although I fear it is becoming more prevalent. I would prefer Trans activists not to resort to the aggressive tactics that often surface as such aggression fuels and polarises the debate. I am also aware that unless people stand up for trans rights they will be rolled back and disappear. It is a hard balancing act.
A chink of light?

Scottish Secretary David Mundell has denied that he threatened to resign over Theresa May's plan for a special Brexit deal for Northern Ireland.
There were widespread reports at the weekend that Mr Mundell and Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson had told the prime minister that they could not support any different arrangements for the province, arguing that this would encourage calls for Scottish independence.
Mr Mundell yesterday told the BBC: "I haven't threatened to resign. What I've said is that I regard the integrity of the United Kingdom as absolutely essential in these negotiations.
His comments sparked a twitter storm, with some turning their fury on the BBC and why it failed to ask Mr Mundell why he had waited 48 hours to deny such a significant story.
In the letter to Theresa May, the Scottish Tory leader and Scottish Secretary said: "Having fought just four years ago to keep our country together, the integrity of our United Kingdom remains the single most important issue for us in these negotiations.
"Any deal that delivers a differentiated settlement for Northern Ireland beyond the differences that already exist on all Ireland basis (eg agriculture), or can be brought under the provisions of the Belfast Agreement, would undermine the integrity of our UK internal market and this United Kingdom.
Former Prime Minister Sir John Major today warns of the lasting damage that Brexit will cause. In a newspaper column he writes: "It will damage our national and personal wealth, and may seriously hamper our future security. It may even, over time, break up our United Kingdom. It will most definitely limit the prospects of our young.

Q: iOS Segmented Control does not appear in Interface Builder (or in the app) So there is this main UIViewController, which has a Container View. Inside it lives a Table View with custom UITableViewCells. In some cells, I'm dragging and dropping a Segmented Control.
The problem: the Segmented Control keeps invisible in the Interface Builder and / or in the app (running in the devices).
This is not a z-order issue, I double checked.
I wonder if I'm doing something that is not allowed (a Segmented Control inside a UITableViewCell).
However: it works just fine for, say, that UISwitch over there. Or a UISlider. But the Segmented Control...
Here is a better version of the image below.

A: I can't say if it's the same issue for you, but I had my tint colour set to white.

A: Answering my own question since others may have the same issue: my solution was to recreate that View Controller. That's right, I deleted it and started a new one from scratch. I still don't know what happened.
I submitted a Technical Support Incident (TSI) to Apple, will update if I get anything back.


My name is Jennifer Eustaquio and my husband Patrick Eustaquio. We are Hawaii. We have 3 heart healthy children Kaley, Kaci and Kali. We were pregnant with our 4th child and at 20 weeks pregnant we were told our daughter had a Congenital Heart Defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. They had reccommend us to abort the baby and didn't give us much hope. We had decided to keep our baby and give her a fighting chance. They told us that she would need 3 Open Hearts Surgery and they our hospital in Hawaii were not equipped to do the first 2 surgeries. That I would need to deliver her in the mainland. Since I had a history of preterm delivery they advised me to go to the mainland at 31 weeks pregnant. I couldn't handle everything by myself and I was so terrified at losing my baby. My husband and I were both working parents so we had to quit our jobs where we were working for over 10 years at to save our daughter. The doctors told us to expect to be in the mainland for 1-2 years because we didn't know what would happen once she was born. We would rather be a drive away then an airplane away incase of emergencies. So since they told us to expect 1-2 years we had to pack up our house in less than 2 months because we couldn't afford our rent in Hawaii while we wasn't working. We put everything in a pod storage until we knew where we're going. Our doctors sent us to Rady's Children Hospital in SD, where Kandi our baby would have her 1st surgery. And right across there was the Ronald McDonald House where we stayed for 2 1/2 months. After Kandi's 1st surgery at 6 days old she was hospitalized for about a month and once she was released to us from the hospital the Ronald McDonald a House said we couldn't stay there anymore. Kandi's surgeon said she couldn't go back to Hawaii yet. So we ended up staying in a hotel for about a week because we had no family or friends in SD and we weren't working. The cost of living there was high for a family of 6. She we got the ok to drive to Las Vegas and they recommend the Cardiologist in Vegas. My husband had an Aunty there to help us. So we ended up staying in a hotel for another week until we found a house. The 2nd day in Vegas we had her 1st appointment with her new doctor.
Kandi has had 6 Heart Cath, three Open Heart Surgery. Her 1st surgery the Norwood/BT Shunt in SD. An emergency surgery to Widen her Aorta, widen her Aorta and upgrade her shunt. She had to have this done first before they could do her Glenn Surgery. This 2nd surgery left her on Ecmo because once they took her off bypass her heart was really weak and she was bleeding a lot. The doctors didn't think she would make it. After week on Ecmo she surprised us and pulled through. She spent about 2 months in the hospital. About 3 months later she had her Glenn Surgery and was home in a week and half. For the first year in Vegas my husband hadn't been able to work because Kand has been in and out of the hospital, on life support so he couldn't look for a job. We had 3 other kids to take care of.
Kandi is now 2 1/2 years old. She has another Cath Surgery schedule next month on March 22,2016 and her Fontan sometime this summer after flu season. She is doing really well so far with many hiccups along the way. We're just loving every minute we have with her and enjoying life with her and our 3 other kids. My husband has been working, I stay home with the kids and life is somewhat settling down for this moment.

40 FEBRUARY 2015 MARIN
Both of your parents were very active on
social and civil rights fronts in Marin. How
did that influence your development? My
mother helped to start what is now called
Lifehouse in 1954. And that, in terms of a huge
narrative in my life, probably shaped me as
an adult more than anything else. It was the
journey of my parents, being the parents of a
developmentally disabled child who was born
in 1951, that they had to discover and create
a system of care for people with developmen-
tal disabilities. When my brother Craig was
born, there was nothing. It was with the help
of my mother and other women, largely, that
the Lanterman Act was passed and a regional
system in the state of California was put into
place. When Craig died a few years ago, the
Marin Independent Journal, in its last edition
of the year, named the most important people
who had died in Marin County and my brother
was one of them. He was one of the children
than 42,000 children a year in Marin, San
Francisco and San Mateo counties.
How did growing up in Marin when you did help to shape and prepare you for adulthood? Our family moved to Marin in 1951.
I was just entering kindergarten. We were the only African-American family in Mill Valley — other than in Marin City, there were, basically, no other black people in Marin County. That was the time, those were the conditions. The context of that really shaped a lot of the way that I looked at the world. Because I was, as a kid, in an environment that was alternately very welcoming but also, in other ways, very questioning and hands-off. I think that you learn to develop a sense of independence but also it forces you by nature to learn how to engage with people one person at a time.
GROWING UP AS a kid in Marin is often an insular experience — there is not a lot of the cultural diversity that is common across the bay in San Francisco or
Oakland. As a child, Charles Collins moved
to Mill Valley with his family in the 1950s.
His father, Daniel Collins, was a professor at UCSF's School of Dentistry. His mother, DeReath Curtis James, helped to create Marin Aid to Retarded Children, now known as Lifehouse. At the time, the Collinses were the only African-American family living in Mill Valley. After graduating from Tamalpais High School in 1965, Collins received a B. A. from Williams College, an M.S. from MIT and his J.D. degree from Harvard Law School. For the past decade, Collins has been president and CEO of the YMCA of San Francisco. Now his life is filled with diversity, as he heads an organization that serves more
YMCA chief draws on his unique
upbringing to give kids all over the Bay
Area the chance to grow and thrive.

February 21, 2020 1987 / Action Figures / Army Ants / Toybox / Toys
I have a soft spot for well made toys. All of the action figures and vehicles from my childhood that I remember most fondly were solidly constructed. I've already raved on this website about the die-cast Voltron lions and the WWF Wrestling Superstars that for my entire life I believed were rubber until I watched The Toys That Made Us and found out were PVC. It's a weird thing to focus on, but anybody who had a GI Joe's legs fall off because the elastic band broke knows how important durable toys are to dumb little monster children who bury, throw, and dunk into the toilet the plastic spoils of mom and dad's paychecks. It's the reason I've written about those Superstars and M.U.S.C.L.E. men while GI Joe hasn't been the subject of an article to date, and it's the reason that today I'm writing about Army Ants. I hate insects, always have, and I was also never one of those kids that got heavily invested in the military, so on the surface this toy line appealed to zero of my interests, yet here we are.
The concept for Army Ants is so obvious it's a wonder this toy line didn't exist before 1987. Army ants exist. Plastic Army men toys exist. Why not combine them? Whoever pitched this spent less time dreaming it up than I did with that overwritten intro paragraph up there. Well the limited amount of time they did spend paid off, because when the line was released it was popular. Army Ants were divided up into two armies, orange and blue. Each had five divisions with some variance among the sides. For orange, it was Strike Force, Assault, Snipers, Bazookas, and Aerial Assault. Blue faced off with Special Forces, Mortars, Artillery, Flame Throwers, and Bombers. The divisions were sold separately, so each army had four three packs to purchase and an eight pack that contained the general and his strike/special forces.
For me, the appeal was in the design. Army Ants often get grouped together with M.U.S.C.L.E. wrestlers which makes sense because the packaging was similar and they were released in the same general time-frame. I know I always associate the two and remember getting both at the same time one Christmas or birthday. Like M.U.S.C.L.E. the detailing in the designs was fairly intricate. There was also variety among the divisions. Each ant was equipped with a personality of sorts that made it worthwhile to collect as many of them as possible.
There was one characteristic all of the Army Ants had in common: squishy abdomens! With the look of grapes and the feel of super bounce balls they weren't actually all that squishy, but they did add a fun ick factor to the toys.
Most people probably don't remember Army Ants if they even knew the toy line existed to begin with, and that's too bad, because it means the people that do are asking and paying way too much for them online. I fear I'm going to be joining them soon.
Did you have Army Ants? What did you think? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter.

This is the first recorded time an airplane passed through Shenandoah County and would have been most local's first opportunities to see a flying machine.
The plane's arrival brought an excited crowd to the fairground. The Woodstock post office added to the excitement by arranging to have Terrill fly mail from Woodstock to Mt. Jackson as one of the first national air mail deliveries. On October 17th Post Master W.M. Calvert and Terrill flew several pieces of mail from the Fairgrounds and dropped them near the post office to the delight of most locals.
Despite his success in Shenandoah County, Frank Terrill's days as a pilot were numbered. The dangers associated with early planes soon caught up with him and he was killed at a county fair in Chesterfield South Carolina on November 13, 1914.
However, locals would remain enamored with the airplane. As its use expanded, plane culture would become a permanent part of Shenandoah County. Among other things a fighter jet would be displayed at Woodstock's town park when it opened in the 1960s, helicopter rides would be offered at the county fair during the late 20th and early 21st century, and air plane watching became a popular local pastime that continues to this day.
These materials highlight Terrill's early flight and include a photograph of Terrill at the fairgrounds, an envelope from the flight, and Frank's business card.

The days of using a drawboard are all but gone, but the digital equivalent is still going strong. Adobe has a range of design tools that covers a range of circumstances, and Adobe Proto makes it possible to take your designing on the road with you so you can continue working on your iPad when you are away from your computer.
The app can be used to create mockups of web sites, print page layouts or even application interfaces. You have the option of starting completely from scratch or you can work with CSS templates so you can get up and running as quickly as possible. Many designers feel completely at home working with a pencil and paper, and the jump to working with a touchscreen devices should feel natural and liberating.
The aim of the app is to make it as quick and easy as possible to create basic designs, and to this end there are a number of pre-designed wireframe components that can be simply dropped into place. From tabs and toolbars to menus and toolboxes, all manner of common interface components are here for you to use leaving you free to spend more time working on your design and layout than drawing individual objects.
While the idea behind Adobe Proto is sound, in practice it is a little limited. The lack of an export option is a serious oversight that will hopefully be addressed in an upcoming update, but it is still a helpful tool to add to your design arsenal.
A handy design tool that is somewhat lacking, but shows interesting signs of promise for future versions.

His use of the word "require" reminded me of a character in one of Mary Gordon's novels who quips that "Episcopalians are not required to believe in anything but the beauty of the burial service." It's a joke, but there's some truth to it: We too have shied away from insisting publicly on "required" beliefs, in the desire to invite seekers, but we do still say the creed, commit to the baptismal covenant, retell the story of salvation at every Eucharist. To get people in the door we are more likely to promise things like close knit community, hospitality, a commitment to outreach. I was groping around for what seemed to be to be missing here: what is the difference between an atheist church and an Episcopalian Christian church, if it's not just about "required beliefs." What is the point of church anyway? The emergence of atheist "congregations" requires us to look anew at that question, in our own congregations.
"Story" -- We have a story to tell, and it is good news. How can churches help people to own this for themselves and for their lives? A practice that has been neglected in our denomination, is helping people to learn and own the story of Scripture. We tell this story at the Eucharist each Sunday and we hear a lot of Scripture read in church, but the energy for discipleship comes when we can see ourselves in the story of God's work in human history, understanding context, history, and ways of reading Scripture. Becoming more scripturally literate, as individuals and as congregations, can help us see how God's story is unfolding in our own time. The process of grappling with Scripture, using our imaginations and our reason to make sense of it for our time, can be both creative and energizing, and it connects us to others who have found Christian faith to be life-giving and exciting. I was excited to see the diocese of Washington adopting an online curriculum that encourages people to study Scripture as "the Story" . This is foundational to who we are.
"Practice" -- It is now well documented that vital congregations can point to particular practices -- ways that people live out their faith through prayer, service, discernment, in that particular community. These practices are not just about self improvement - they connect implicitly to a vision for discipleship -- what do we do to keep ourselves alert to opportunities to live out our Christian discipleship in our lives? What opportunities do churches provide for us to practice our faith, through prayer, discernment, study, service, hospitality? These practices are not ends in themselves, to make us feel better or even personally "closer to God." They are about forming us as disciples of Jesus - whatever that may mean in our time. My favorite "practice" is the practice of the discernment -- finding ways to attend to what God might be doing and how we might participate in this.
"Participation" -- The more we read the story, the clearer it becomes that we are called, not to change the world all on our own, but to participate in something that God is doing. One of my favorite prayers in the prayer book ends "let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which have grown old are being made new, and all things are being brought to their perfection in Jesus Christ. . . . (BCP 280) What if each congregation asked "how are we participating in the New Thing that God is always trying to do in us and in our lives? Where do we see this happening here, in the places where we find ourselves, and in our corporate lives?
Of course I am using language about "God" and "Jesus" and Scripture in laying out this vision of discipleship as the mission of congregations, but without being very clear about "required" beliefs. . I think we work out what we believe about God and Jesus and discipleship in practice, and that is why we begin with worship and corporate prayer. That is the experience that churches offer that differs from a community center or a neighborhood group. "Praying shapes believing," we tend to say as Episcopalians -- so do our practices of discipleship. As we seek ways to "follow Jesus" we find out what we believe about him.
I wonder what it would look like if we used the standard of "making disciples" as a way of designing mission statements and reviewing ministry in our congregations. What would it look like for leaders to begin, not with the question: are we giving people what they want, in a tight-knit community? but rather "How are we doing at making and supporting disciples of Jesus? And what particular ways are we doing that in this congregation?
To get people in the door we are more likely to promise things like close knit community, hospitality, a commitment to outreach.

Helpful news and resources for North Carolina landlords.
Rents are on the rise around the country, and new data reveals that the rental market in Charlotte is among the fastest growing in the country. According to Zillow, Charlotte's median rent increased 6.1 percent year-over-year. At the same time, the national median rent rose by just 3.3 percent. Currently, the median rent in Charlotte is $1,235 per month. While rents may be on the rise, it is doing nothing to slow down demand in Charlotte and the greater Mecklenburg area. In recent years, thousands of new apartment units have been constructed all over the greater Charlotte area.
In a rental market as hot as Charlotte's, it can sometimes be difficult for landlords to keep up with the myriad of details associated with operating a property rental business. In addition to conducting a proper tenant screening, landlords must also make sure that rent is collected on time. Landlords who operate multiple rental units in Charlotte may find that all of the many tasks associated with operating a successful property rental business can be somewhat overwhelming.

Czene-Bánhidi Petra (Budapest, 1979. augusztus 10. –) magyar táncművész.

Gyermekkora óta táncol, a Magyar Táncművészeti Főiskola modern táncpedagógus szakán végzett. Rendelkezik társastánc-oktatói és versenytánc-edző asszisztensi vizsgákkal is. A tangó mellett modern kortárs jazztánc, színpadi mozgás oktatással is foglakozik gyermekek és felnőttek részére egyaránt.

Jelentős eredményeket és sikereket tudhat magáénak a versenytánc, mazsorett és a modern tánc területén is. Tangó technikát többek között Mimi Santapától tanult Buenos Airesben. Táncolt Eszenyi Enikő "E-Tango – A Combok Csókja" és "Ping-Szving" c. önálló darabjaiban a Thália Színházban, a "Störr Kapitány" c. darabban a Radnóti Színházban, az "Évszakok Buenos Airesben" c. darabban a Nemzeti Táncszínházban és az "Excalibur" c. darabban, valamint a Nemzeti Táncszínházban szervezett latin-esteken is. Az "Excalibur"-t és a "Bizodalom visszavág" c. darabot Petra koreografálta.

Két alkalommal nyerte meg az IDO olaszországi székhelyű táncszövetség által rendezett világbajnokságot argentin tangó kategóriában (2004: Dunaújváros, 2005: Rimini).

Szeret gyerekekkel dolgozni, és együtt örülni sikereiknek, melyekhez hozzá segíti őket. Nemzetközi versenyek, a Szombat esti láz (televíziós műsor), valamint színházi előadások táncosa, koreográfusa, fellépett számos darabban, és saját tangóestet is rendezett.

Honlapján és a legtöbb médiaemlítésben tévesen szerepel, hogy 'érdemes művész': nem szerepel a Magyar Köztársaság Érdemes Művésze kitüntetettjei között, egy azonos, félrevezető elnevezésű magánkezdeményezésű díjjal rendelkezik.

Hivatása

It's hard to stick to a healthy routine. We've all been there. You try a new diet for a couple of weeks before slipping back to your old eating habits. Maybe you went to the gym recently, but it was so tiring that you've been avoiding it ever since. The best way to improve your health is to gradually make changes to your lifestyle so that you can find a way of living that works for you on a permanent basis. In this article, we're going to look at ways to achieve that.
Start a regular exercise routine.
An easy way to make a permanent improvement to your lifestyle is to start a regular exercise routine. You don't need to go the gym if you hate the idea of running on a treadmill or lifting weights for a couple of hours. The important thing is that you're physically active on a regular basis. If you can exercise for 15-20 minutes every day then you'll make a big difference to your lifestyle. Maybe you could go for a light jog around your local area when you get in from work; it could be a chance to get some fresh air, clear your head, and get a good workout.
If you really want to make a long-term improvement to your health then you need to stop any unhealthy behavior. Perhaps you simply slip back into unhealthy eating habits every time you try a new diet; you might want to make a sustainable meal plan so that you can permanently improve your diet. Of course, it can be hard to quit certain unhealthy behaviors. When it comes to substances such as nicotine or liquor, you might have to wean yourself off these drugs more gradually. You could do some research on alcohol withdrawal symptoms and signs if you're struggling to move past the early stages of quitting drinking. It's important to have the right people around you to support you through the process too.
Make time for your mental health.
In this article, we've talked a lot about making improvements to your physical health, but your mental health is just as important. If you want to make an improvement to your lifestyle that benefits your health today and well into the future then you should start thinking about your mental state. Deep breathing is a good way to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental issues you might be experiencing. Watch some YouTube videos to learn meditation techniques because it can help you to center your thoughts on your body and the present moment if you're finding yourself overwhelmed by worries during your day.
Of course, you can also improve your mental health by talking to loved ones. If you're struggling with issues at home or at work then you should be able to open up about your problems to the people who matter in your life. By sharing your thoughts and feelings with your friends or family, you'll find that you can better deal with your mental struggles. Improving your mental health won't happen overnight, but it's definitely easier if you know that you have a supportive network of people who care about you. Don't hide your mental health problems. You could even talk to a therapist if you're really struggling. It'll benefit your overall health in the long run.

Volume of the Sacred Law
Discussion in 'Masonic Blogs' started by My Freemasonry, May 26, 2017.
In this episode of Masonic Symbols and Symbolism, we explore the symbolism behind the Volume of Sacred Law as used in Freemasonry. Few elements are as contentious as this "indispensable book" in the lodge. Perhaps because of the diversity of faiths who claim ownership of the "one true religion…" Whatever the case, Freemasonry being the religion upon which all men agree. So which Volume of the Sacred Law is the right one?
What holy book does your lodge place on the altar? Let us know in the comments below.
Taken from The Builder magazine from 1920, it says "As the Trestle Board is for the Master to lay lines and draw designs on to enable the brethren to carry on the intended structure with regularity and propriety, so the Volume of the Sacred Law may justly be deemed the spiritual trestle board of the Great Architect of the Universe in which are laid down such divine laws and mortal precepts that were we conversant therewith and adherent thereto they would bring us to an ethereal mansion not built with hands but one eternal in the heavens."
The Volume of the Sacred Law is considered one of the landmarks of Freemasonry and Albert Mackey, in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, defines it as "an indispensable part of the furniture of every Lodge." "Advisedly," he says, "a Book of the Law, because it is not absolutely required that everywhere the Old and New Testaments."
Mackey goes on to say, "The Book of the Law is that volume which, by the religion of the country, is believed to contain the revealed will of the Grand Architect of the Universe. Hence, in all Lodges in Christian countries, the Book of the Law is composed of the Old and New Testaments; in a country where Judaism was the prevailing faith, the Old Testament alone would be sufficient; and in Islamic countries, the Koran might be substituted.
Masonry does not attempt to interfere with the particular religious faith of its disciples, except so far as relates to the belief in the existence of God, and what necessarily results from that belief. The Book of the Law is, to the speculative Mason, his spiritual Trestle board; without this he cannot labor; whatever he believes to be the revealed will of the Grand Architect constitutes for him this spiritual Trestleboard, and must ever be before him in his hours of speculative labor, to be the rule and guide of his conduct. The Landmark, therefore, requires that a Book of the Law, a religious code of some kind, purporting to be an exemplar of the revealed will of God, shall form in essential part of the furniture of every Lodge."
In its most distilled essence, one could interpret the idea of the Book of Law, as an amalgam of all sacred texts (in so far as all faiths are represented) or, as in some iterations of Freemasonry, as a blank book that is emblematic of all faiths including non-traditional acknowledgements of agnostics, hermetic, pagan or even perhaps atheism.

Apparently Anderson.
"I. Concerning God and Religion
A Mason is oblig'd by his Tenure, to obey the moral law; and if he rightly understands the Art, he will never be a stupid Atheist nor an irreligious Libertine. But though in ancient Times Masons were charg'd in every Country to be of the Religion of that Country or Nation, whatever it was, yet 'tis now thought more expedient only to oblige them to that Religion in which all Men agree, leaving
their particular Opinions to themselves; that is, to be good Men and true, or Men of Honour and Honesty, by whatever Denominations or Persuasions they may be distinguish'd; whereby Masonry becomes the Center of Union, and the Means of conciliating true Friendship among Persons that must have remain'd at a perpetual Distance..."

Yes! I did recognize to what it alluded. However, it is not what Bro. Anderson wrote. What the OP says and what Bro. Anderson says are two entirely different things.
Bro. Anderson: ...that Religion in which all Men agree, ...that is, to be good Men and true, or Men of Honour and Honesty, ...
Article: ... Freemasonry being the religion upon which all men agree. ...
Majorly different directions!
Warrior1256 and Zack like this.
Yep. Agreed..... it annoys me when I hear it... and people get annoyed when you point it out.... the otherone which annoys is something about "the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God"..... where does freemasonry talk about "God the father" or "father" ? It's a Christian projection into the Craft.... don't get me wrong, I ain't got no problem with Christians, but I think it puts something in Freemasonry which it not there.... probably like your example about Freemasonry being a "religion" in which all men agree... discussions about play acting dressups are one thing, but trying to make all Freemasons part of some masonic religion is quite another..
I'm pretty sure you'd agree ?

Did it creep into ritual as the misquote ?
"...but that noble contention, or rather emulation, of who can best work and best agree."
This is a blurb from a part of MM
Mind you... there was more than one version of Anderson's Const... have you checked the others to make sure the wording didn't change ?? And do you know if it can be identified if Anderson was quoting (or misquoting) an earlier source ? I know its likely you probably know off the top of your head....
As far as I know, it is NOT part of ritual. But it has crept into some member's heads, and leaked out of their mouths and into posts.
I've not heard it in ritual, but will happily accept (accurate) correction

Here is the author's justification:
Greg Stewart says
It's a play on something Mackey wrote in Textbook of Masonic Jurisprudence, from 1865:
"The truth is, that Masonry is undoubtedly a religious institution — its religion being of that universal kind in which all men agree, and which, handed down through a long succession of ages, from that ancient priesthood who first taught it, embraces the great tenets of the existence of God and the immortality of the soul — tenets which, by its peculiar symbolic language, it has preserved from its foundation, and still continues,in the same beautiful way, to teach."

Built at a cost of hundreds of millions and costing between €1 and €2 million a day to service, the project is estimated to have cost €340 million in lost power generation over the last year alone. And if the problems with the technology are deemed not to be the fault of the operator, German taxpayers will be on the hook for the running and repair costs, thanks to the German Energy Act 2012….
Germany already has amongst the highest energy bills in the world, not helped by the EU's commitment to carbon reduction measures at the behest of an increasingly hysterical climate change industry, and the rest of Europe fares no better. British and European climate change policies already add an extra ten percent to British householders' energy bills, at a time when fuel poverty affects one in four people….

A Kentucky county moves toward a 1 MILE setback for wind turbines from PROPERTY LINES. Once again, it makes our new Ohio setback of approximately 1250 feet look mighty small. Kentucky has awoken to the realities of living near these industrial sites and we thank our legislators for trying to protect our citizens with passage of Ohio Senate Bill 310….
The first step has been taken by county officials to ban industrial wind turbines from Mason County.
Restrictions on large industrial wind turbines include: turbines can only be located in areas of the county zoned rural industrial (I3); one mile set back distances without any waivers whatsoever, from the following: property lines, public roads and right-of-ways, community zones, incorporated cities/towns, platted subdivisions, public or semi-public structures such as schools and/or churches, historical landmarks, cell towers, electric transmission lines, railroads, and to strictly follow any regulations as set out by the Kentucky Airport Zoning Commission; noise restrictions not to exceed 30 dB(A) scale at any non-participating property line and less than 50 dB(C) scale….
via Wind energy ordinance moves forward.
BigWind just won't let this decision go and they are working every angle possible to change the outcome of Gov. Kasich's energy bills. The comment, below, makes us believe that Mr. Tom Stacy is Ohio's Superman. Let's keep the Kryptonite away from him!
Gov. John Kasich has signed a measure that freezes Ohio's popular renewable-energy standards. Although the freeze attracted most of the attention, the new law also calls for a two-year study of the standards impact on the state.
While the General Assembly conducts this review, the process that led Gov. Kasich to suspend the standards deserves scrutiny as well. That's why I have filed a request for information about communication Mr. Kasich and his senior staff may have had with fossil-fuel interests before he decided to repeal clean-energy expansion in Ohio.
The author states: "Ohioans deserve and honest accounting of what freezing the clean-energy and energy-efficiancy standards will mean to the state." This is one statement where we agree. And this is why the members of the study committee that SB310 creates will be inundated with tons of information from all sides.
Unfortunately, much of that information will come from parties with a vested interest in skewing the reality by providing only some of the facts. That is not where I and those I work with are coming from. We are neither utility-centric, perfect-planet centric nor politically motivated. Like the author's group claims to be, we are seeking openness and truth and a complete picture that the American and Ohio public (taxpayers, electricity ratepayers, air breathers and water drinkers) can rely on. But unlike the "Checks and Balances Project" (nice official sounding name, by the way), we do not try to magnify the trivial in the minds of the public by claiming things like a $12,000 political donation from David Koch could change the law.
We concentrate on the meaningful things like the cost per unit of net environmental improvement differnt electricity choices offer, how intermittent generators cause the utilization rates and patterns of dependable generators to become less efficient, and teaching the public that if we don't use the power plants we have already built for as long as possible, higher electricity costs will drive jobs and manufacturing offshore to places where electricity is cheaper and dirtier. There is no legislating around that, and since we already have a cleaner electricity system than other growing manufacturing economies like China and India, we are all better off keeping electricity costs as low as possible here. It's cleaner than leaking electricity use to dirtier nations, and better for our economy by reducing unemployment, increasing tax revenues, lowering national debt, improving our trade balance, etc.
Don't be fooled by the political rants of Peterson and others. Stick to those who analyze complex situations without the political baggage. But if a FOIA needs to be brought to your attention to shed light on why certain people tell certain frantic stories like the one in the op-ed above, perhaps you should ask Mr. Peterson if his group has received donations anyone affiliated with the wind energy industry.

Piano and keyboard player will replace the late Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens…
Jack White has replaced the late Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens with Dean Fertita.
Pianist and keyboard player Owens died earlier this month (October) while on tour in Mexico. White subsequently cancelled his Mexican tour dates but will return to the road for a string of US and European live shows next month (November) with Fertita.
"Although it is impossible to replace Ikey, the incredibly talented Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age, The Dead Weather) will be joining the band to play piano and keyboard for all of Jack's currently announced tour dates," White said in a statement.
Owens was a Grammy award-winning musician who played keyboards in Jack White's band and also performed with The Mars Volta. He died of a heart attack on October 14.
Dean Fertita will perform with Jack White when he tours the UK next month.
