When the work is outside, weather is always a factor. Maybe that goes without saying, but it is the truth when it comes to county road work. This summer has been crazy, going from drought to hard and then soaking rains, putting mowing, grading, and construction behind.
T&G Construction was the low bidder and completed the 2" asphalt overlay of 8th Street in Cache from US 62 to Cache Road, and the 3" overlay of Indiahoma Road from US 62 to Show Place Avenue in Indiahoma. The County did the road preparation work and the Comanche Nation Department of Transportation (CNDOT) funded the overlay. Director Adrian Tehauno and his staff are great to work with, and fund projects that the County could not have afforded.
The CNDOT also funded the oil and chipping of Indiahoma Road from Coombs Road to Baseline Road. On this project the tribe paid for the materials and the County funded the road base work and putting down the materials.
We are currently working with the CNDOT to do a 2" asphalt overlay of four miles of Meers-Porter Hill Road from SH 58 to SH 115 at Meers. Several years ago they paid for the 2" overlay from Porter Hill to SH 58 which covered 7 miles. Once completed, this will put a new surface on the 11 miles from Meers to Porter Hill and is another project that could not have been funded without the good cooperation with Director Tehauno and his staff.
The County road crew recycled the roadway and worked the bar ditches on Woodlawn Road from Crater Road to 115. After we let the traffic on it over the summer, the crew oiled and chipped the road.
The bridge over Boulder Creek on Airport Road, that was started this spring and was scheduled to be completed by the first of July, has been completed. The "road closed" signs have been taken down and traffic is beginning to use the road; however, as of this writing, the striping and putting down grass sod has not been done.
The bridge over Post Oak Creek that replaced the low water crossing on Bishop Road has also been completed. The contractor has to come back and do some final work on drainage problems. The bridge is open to through traffic.
In Cache, the road crew recycled and oiled and chipped 3rd and 4th Streets between C and B Avenues, and Ash and Cherry Avenues between 6th and 5th Streets. The City paid for the materials and the County provided the equipment and labor.
Progress continues on replacing the old truss bridge over West Cache Creek, west of Cache. The basic design has been completed and the engineer had a company collect core samples to determine the depth of the pilings. We have met with the utility companies to find out which ones need to be relocated. A company has been hired to study the environmental impact of the bridge. The construction is scheduled for 2021.
The road crew did some road repair work in Wichita Mtn. Estates and Pecan Valley South. We rented a sweeper attachment for our skid steer to pick up the loose gravel in Pecan Valley South from previous oil and chip projects in that area.
Due to the number of accidents at the intersection at Deyo Mission Road and Lee Blvd, we put up stop signs with red flashing LED lights in hopes that drivers will heed the traffic sign.
We bought the materials for a 30' x 100' shed and some of the crew erected it. It will be used to put some of the equipment under so they will be protected when not in use.
We removed the dirt from the Expo Building at the fair grounds that was used for National Horse play days and the dirt from the Coliseum from the Long Horn Breeder's Association show. Lately, District 1 puts dirt in and District 3 removes it.
Summer is upon us and the mowing has started. We have used herbicides at most of the bridge approaches and the intersections to increase visibility. Also it will prevent us from having to mow them as often.
Construction has begun replacing the bridges across Boulder Creek on Airport Road and the low water crossing at Post Oak Creek on Bishop Road. The bridge on Airport is scheduled to be completed by the end of summer and we are hopeful before school starts this fall. The bridge on Bishop will be completed midsummer.
Progress is moving along on the replacement of the big truss bridge over West Cache Creek on Cache Road. We have had the plan-in-hand meeting with the design engineers, ODOT engineers and Circuit Engineering District # 6 engineer. The purpose of this meeting was to review the initial design to make sure all the requirements are considered. This will determine if more right of way is needed. Once the design is agreed upon the next steps will be to do the study to see if there is any environmental impact, acquire needed right of way and move the utilities.
The construction of the bridge is planned for 2021. However, the Comanche Nation's Transportation Department has expressed an interest in helping fund the construction. If an agreement can be worked out, the construction could start sooner.
Several streets in Chattanooga were oiled and chipped. We had milled them a couple of years ago and the Town Council decided to complete the project this year. By inter-local agreement, the Town furnished the materials and the County uses our manpower and equipment.
The road crew has gotten four miles of Indiahoma Road from Coombs Rd to Baseline Rd ready to oil and chip this summer. They are getting Woodlawn Road from 115 to Crater Creek Road ready. The City of Cache has requested that we oil and chip Crater Creek Rd from Cache Rd north and also 3rd and 4th Streets between B and C Avenues.
Once the bridge construction is completed on Airport Rd, we plan to oil and chip it from Cache Road to Lee Blvd. If time permits, we plan to redo Baseline Road from SH 36 to Deyo Mission Road.
We are currently accepting bids to do asphalt overlays of 8th Street (115) in Cache between US 62 and H Street (Cache Rd) and Indiahoma Rd in Indiahoma from Show Place Avenue to US 62. These projects are being funded by the Comanche Nation's Department of Transportation and will be completed this summer.
We hauled two old surplus trucks for the Meers VFD to the State Forestry Division at Goldsby, OK and put in a tinhorn for the Pecan Creek VFD driveway.
Our crew repaired the parking lot for the Comanche County Health Department and constructed a handicap ramp for the Wichita Mountains Area Senior Citizens building.
I am reminded of two quotes regarding Oklahoma weather. To paraphrase an Ace Reed cartoon: the drought in SW Oklahoma is interrupted by periods of flooding. Will Rogers once said, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma wait 5 minutes and it will change". It seems like the weather this year has been crazier than others.
In my 7 years as Commissioner, we have gotten the sand trucks out each year over the Christmas holidays. This year it was on New Year's Eve. But enough about weather and on to roads and bridges!
We have completed our three asphalt overlay projects: the 82nd Street Project from Combs Road to State Highway 36, the Multiple Road Project that included Briarcreek and a portion of Heatherstone in Pecan Valley South, Deyo Mission from the Railroad tracks south to Lee Blvd, several portions of County Road 115 and Cache Road from 115 to the West Cache Creek Bridge, the Cache Road Project from Paint Road to County Road 115 and Showplace Ave. in Indiahoma.
Because the 2" inch asphalt lift raised the road level and there were sections that needed work anyway, we had to work the bar ditches to build the shoulders to make the roads safer and eliminate steeper drop offs in a number of areas along the three projects.
This time of year we trim the trees back that overhang the roadway. This increases the visibility and makes the rural roads safer to drive. This also makes the trees look ugly, but doing it in the spring time, the trees will soon bud out and look better.
The truss bridge on old State Highway 36 east of Faxon was found to be structurally deficient for the weight limit during the last inspection. Since this bridge was seldom used, rather than spend money on it we chose to close the bridge.
The heavy rains this past spring caused a large amount of debris to wash against the pilings on the Sandy Creek Bridge west of Indiahoma. The debris forced the strong current against the back wall causing a considerable amount of dirt to wash out that had to be replaced to preserve the integrity of the bridge.
Kenny and I met with Adrian Tehauno and Theo Niedo with the Comanche Nation Transportation Department to review the roads that they wanted to provide material for out of their highway funds. We have agreed on 11 miles of oil and chip roads and about 4 miles of asphalt overlay. We are currently having the required engineering done by CEC Engineering Company.
This month we will take delivery on a new John Deere backhoe and a front end loader. They will replace ones that are about 20 years old and are worn out.
After the overlay was placed on H Ave. in Cache three vehicles ran off the cross drain culvert at the 4-way stop at H and 115. Coordinating with the Mayor of Cache, we put up four flexible reflective pipes to make the drop off more visible, particularly at night. This has seemed to help since no one has run off since this was done.
In conjunction with our continuing safety training a CPR class was given to the Comanche County District 3 work force.
Dennis Long retired from the District 3 work force having worked a total of 38 years. Dennis's primary responsibility was operating a motor grader. However, when called upon he ran other equipment as needed to maintain roads in the western portion of Comanche County. We want to again thank him for his dedication and commitment to the County and wish him the best in his retirement.
On February 26, I announced that I was not going to seek a third term. It was with mixed emotions that I made this decision. My time as Commissioner has been a rewarding experience. I have gained a deeper understanding of building and maintaining roads and bridges and a greater appreciation for county government. My term will end December 31, 2018.
The summer type rains continued into October which caused delays in our regularly scheduled projects. We have spent a lot of man hours repairing roads and clearing debris out of bridges and tinhorns, and that continued into December. Once the rains stopped though, it has become extremely dry and fire danger is very real.
The bridge on Airport Road, just south of Cache Road, has been approved and a bid has been awarded by ODOT. The construction will begin in February. The bad news is the bridge did not pass the last inspection and, in order not to close the road for 5 or 6 months, we will put in a temporary tinhorn so the road can remain open until construction starts on the new bridge. We did not want to have to spend District 3 funds for this extra step, but with all of the delays we have had on this project, we really had no other choice.
All the preliminary work for the bridge to replace the low-water crossing on Bishop Road over Post Oak Creek has been completed. The final engineer's design for the bridge is being reviewed by ODOT and is scheduled for a January or February letting, which means construction could begin later this summer.
The Governor and Legislature, in trying to fund the State shortfall, has taken $130,000,000 out of the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CIRB) fund. The full impact of this action is not yet fully known, but this could possibly delay or remove from the County's 5-year plan the needed replacement of bridges over West Cache Creek and Rock Creek on Cache Road west of the City of Cache and the bridge on Persimmon Creek on Airport Road south of Faxon.
Back in June, we signed an agreement with the low bidder, Overland Corporation, to mill out the high spots and to put down a 2-inch overlay on 82nd Street from Coombs Road to S.H. 36. This project was supposed to have been completed by the end of July. However, because of continuing delays by Overland, I contacted the Assistant District Attorney to void the contract.
Before we rebid the 82nd Street project, our road crew milled off some of the high spots and did extensive blade leveling to make the overlay smoother. At the December 4th board meeting, we awarded the rebid to T&G Construction Company.
At the same board meeting, we also awarded the Cache Road Project to T&G, which will call for a 2-inch asphalt overlay starting just east of Paint Road and running through the intersection at 8th Street (CR 115) in Cache and H Ave. This will connect with the asphalt overlay that goes in front of the County Barn. As a part of this bid, Showplace Ave. in Indiahoma will also receive a 2-inch asphalt overlay as well.
The Cache City Council voted to pay up to $40,000 toward the cost of the project between Crater Creek Road and CR 115 which is about half the cost for that mile. We are working with T&G to get this mile completed during the school's Christmas break. This will alleviate a traffic problem at the school and be less disruptive for the school and the contractors.
T&G Construction has completed a 2-inch asphalt overlay of our Multiple Road Project. This includes Briarcreek and a portion of Heatherstone in Pecan Valley South, Deyo Mission from the Railroad tracks south to Lee Blvd, Cache Road from CR 115 to the West Cache Creek Bridge, Lee Blvd West of CR 115 to Quanah Road, CR 115 from Woodlawn to the Post Oak Creek Bridge, and Baseline portion of 115. The contractor still has to stripe them.
During the reporting period, we put dirt and gravel on the parking lot at the Indiahoma FFA barn and hauled a load of sand for the inside. We worked on the baseball diamond parking lot for Chattanooga School. We repaired the road and rebuilt the parking lot at the Field House for Cache Public Schools and put in a new road at the elementary school to help alleviate their traffic problem.
We removed some trees and did some road work at the Cache Cemetery and removed dirt from the Fairground coliseum after a stock show.
Richard Sellers retired from the District 3 work force having worked for 38 years. Richard had a number of jobs during his tenure with the County. His last responsibility was heading up the road building crew. We want to thank him for his commitment and dedication to the County and wish him the best in his retirement.
The County Barn will be closed for the Christmas and New Year Holidays, as employees take their scheduled leave. However, we will remain on call to respond to emergencies.
All of us at Comanche County District 3 want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!

Fear Not The Reaper
By Terence Ruis, Aug 4 2017 3:54 am
James (not his real name) recalls his first experience of dealing with death as clear as day. The Singapore Civil Defence Force firefighter was on his first call when the request for assistance came in. "It was a particularly terrible accident, we were warned, so we could mentally prepare ourselves for what we would find. And it was my very first call and I found myself shaking as the Red Rhino approached the scene," he said.
Even after a decade as a firefighter, handling death first hand can still be a harrowing experience for him. Not that that should surprise anyone. Most of us who have lost someone know about the emotions that surround death. But while we may think there can be nothing more difficult than dealing with death, it is arguably easier than having to manage the death of a complete stranger. And for first responders, this is something they do, over and over again.
My own first experience with death occurred when I was very young. Waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of wailing, I stepped out of my room and saw my grandmother crumpled in a heap on the sofa while my mother was sobbing, the telephone receiver cupped in her hands. My dad was seated nearby, his head in his hands. The sorrow was visceral, multiplied when shared.
At the crematorium the following day, my dad lifted me so I could see my uncle in the coffin, telling me to say goodbye as he was "going away forever". I felt sad, but nothing prepared me for what followed in that viewing gallery.
As my uncle's coffin traversed towards the incinerator, the entire room erupted in cries. I broke down from sheer panic and fear. That experience still haunts me anytime the issue of death comes up.
Benjamin Franklin famously uttered, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." I'd always considered this quote in levity, but in recent years I've come to the opinion that he simply meant these two things were the great equalisers in life that no one can escape. The recent attacks in Manchester, Homs and in past years in Paris, Istanbul and much more have only served to remind the world that life isn't predictable and while we can all hope for a well-lived life and a painless end, nothing is certain.
First on the scene
First responders like James experience death on a constant basis, but it doesn't inure them to death; rather, it impresses the fragility of life even more. They don't just deal with the dying and the dead but also those who survive them.
James' first case was a violent accident that was a rude awakening to the theoretical lessons first responders go through in their training. A man had been hit by a pickup truck and his body was dragged under the vehicle for over 20 metres. At the scene, his then-supervisor quickly surveyed the wreckage and returned to the vehicle. A quiver in his voice, he directed his men into action. "I was the smallest in stature and it fell on me to go under the truck to pull the body out," he explained. "My colleagues would secure the vehicle's frame to make sure we could safely extract the victim."
The only problem was, there wasn't much of a body for him to pull out. Everything James tried to hold on to turned to pulp, so he had to resort to scooping up the man's remains. He forced himself to work fast because he was gagging every couple of seconds.
Psychologists and grief counsellors will explain that the average person's first response to death, whether personal or impersonal, is to freeze. Dr Susan LaCombe, a psychologist and psychotherapist who focuses on holistic psychotherapy as an alternative to medication when recovering from traumatic life events, explains that the "fight, flight or freeze" first response is buried deep in our reptilian brain stem and it isn't limited to death but every single trauma we experience, physical or mental.
That reaction is often later coupled with shame and guilt at having frozen and not reacting. Both can last for weeks, even months, before the body recovers. First responders have to learn to fight this instinct to do their job.
James recalled another incident when a jumper leapt from a high-rise, hit the ground just a few metres from him, bounced off the floor several metres high and then landed in a tangled mess. It was horrifying. But his training took over. "I thought about what I needed to do and I rushed towards the body to check for a pulse, although I knew I was unlikely to find one," he explained. A decade into his work, that fear instinct still hits every time he's called to a scene but he's learnt to overcome it. "In the beginning the stress took a toll on me because I bottled up my feelings. Years later, when I opened up to my fiancé, things got better," he said.
It's not always impersonal Danial (not his real name), a staff sergeant in the Singapore Police Force who has served for close to a decade, may have forgotten the first death he's had to call in, but there's one incident that he finds hard to put aside. We met at a coffee shop late one evening and he looked particularly worn out. He explained that it's been a particularly long shift as he's had to cover for a colleague whose uncle passed away earlier in the day.
Policing in the country is often closely tied to the community and officers are often encouraged to forge close relationships with members of the community to ensure civil safety. An elderly man living in government-assisted housing, who he affectionately referred to as "Uncle", was his liaison in that area. Danial would encounter him sitting outside his home with his neighbour musing about the weather or the stray cats in the area. They frequently drew him into their conversations. One morning, he heard that said neighbour had passed away. He made a mental note to check on the elderly gentleman but other work matters kept him busy until the following week.
"When I finally got the chance to visit Uncle, I sensed something amiss," he said, his voice heavy with the memory. "There was a packet of food hanging on his gate. I'm not sure who it was from, perhaps it was a charity programme delivery or someone had left it for him. I could smell that the food had spoilt for some time. Then I caught a waft of that unmistakable smell coming from inside the apartment. My heart sank."
When he and his colleagues finally gained entry into the flat, they found his badly decomposing body near the bathroom. The stench was suffocating. His body had been exposed to the sun, so it was particularly bad. His skin was blackened, and maggots had got to his body. Danial called it in and excused himself from the flat.
Danial's experience makes me wonder if that might someday happen to me and what emotions it must arouse. Did the old man have no one who would visit him and check on him periodically? How awful it must be to die alone and forgotten, and for days to go by before someone discovered his body.
Danial took a while to get over the case. "It's important to be able to talk to someone about it. My wife is my sounding block. Every time I have to handle a situation like that, it takes me several days to get over it. Even when I'm at home doing something mundane like watching TV, I would still be thinking about it," he revealed.
It doesn't deter him from his work, though, and I admire his resolve. Danial doesn't fear death. On the contrary, dealing with so much death in his job has taught him to value life, so that when the end finally comes, he can embrace it.
Farewell crew
In my conversations with Danial and James, both mentioned having to help the Tong Aik with the bodies. I took the term to mean "undertaker" in dialect. It is only when I spoke to Jenny Tay and Darren Cheng, directors of Direct Funeral Services (DFS) that I learnt that Tong Aik is a subsidiary of their business. That's also when I learnt that first responders aren't the only ones who have to deal with horrific cases of death.
"We're contracted to handle all of the police cases so our guys have seen some terrible things. They work with the police and the SCDF to gather the bodies at a scene, so they tell us about having to pick up severed limbs and scoop up brain matter all the time," Darren shared.
Having to deal with dead bodies and funerals so often, don't they ever become depressed and jaded? Jenny was quick to tell me no. "Being so close to death on a daily basis has made me strive to become a better person. I've become more filial, and I no longer hold grudges. Life is too fleeting for that," she said.
Part of Darren's job as a funeral director and grief counsellor is to help families get through bereavement. "I usually ask them to tell me about the deceased. Remembering how their loved ones lived often helps people to deal with the passing," he said.
"I always remind myself to use my time on earth effectively because life is just ticking away. That's the grim reality that my work hammers into me."
"The toughest funeral we have planned was for a friend's young sibling who had committed suicide because of academic pressures," Darren added. "It was really difficult seeing the regret on the parents' faces. Their usually stoic personas completely melted away, and all that was left was sadness."
These professionals value life more than we do because they deal with mortality on a daily basis. However, their stories serve as a solemn reminder that life is unpredictable, lest we get caught up in the rat race, and forget to live.

Parents of UK militant in Syria spared jail for sending cash
by: DANICA KIRKA, Associated Press
John Letts and Sally Lane speaks outside the Old Bailey in London, Friday, June 21, 2019. The parents of a British man who converted to Islam and supported the Islamic State group in Syria were given suspended prison sentences for trying to send him money. Organic farmer John Letts, 58, and ex-Oxfam fundraiser Sally Lane, 56, say they were acting as any parents would have done when they tried to send their 23-year-old son cash. (Yui Mok/PA via AP)
LONDON (AP) — A couple from Oxford whose son converted to Islam and traveled to Syria to support the Islamic State group were found guilty Friday and given suspended sentences for trying to send him money.
Organic farmer John Letts, 58, and ex-Oxfam fundraiser Sally Lane, 56, said they were acting as any parents would have when they tried to send their 23-year-old son cash when he begged for help from another country. They say they believed their son, Jack Letts, was in mortal danger and trapped in Raqqa, Syria.
"We tried to do the right thing," the couple said in a statement. "We fully cooperated with the police and asked them repeatedly for help. They promised they would help us, but instead of helping us, they used the information we provided to prosecute us."
Prosecutor Alison Morgan says the couple "turned a blind eye to the obvious" — that Jack Letts had traveled to the Middle East and become an extremist.Authorities say the couple had been warned not to send money at risk of prosecution, but chose to ignore the advice.
The couple sent — or tried to send — 1,723 pounds ($2,188) to their son, who has been dubbed Jihadi Jack by the British media. The jury deliberated for nearly 20 hours before finding them guilty of one charge of funding terrorism.
Judge Nicholas Hilliard sentenced the pair to 15 months' imprisonment but suspended the sentence for 12 months because of the "very special circumstances of this case."
"It was one thing for parents to be optimistic about their children and I do acknowledge he is your son, who you love very much," he said. "But in this context you did lose sight of realities."
Despite warnings about their son's burgeoning extremist views, the parents believed he had traveled to the Mideast on a "grand adventure" to learn Arabic in Jordan in May 2014. He moved to Kuwait and married. In September 2014, Lane testified that her son phoned from Syria.
His father begged him to come home, telling him a father "should never live to see his son buried." Police raided the family home in 2015.
Later in 2015, Jack Letts posted on Facebook that he would like to perform a "martyrdom operation" on a group of British soldiers. Police warned the family that "sending money to Jack is the same as sending money to ISIS."
But by the end of that year, Jack Letts was indicating that he wanted to come home. The family tried to transfer more money but the funds were blocked and the couple was arrested.
Jack Letts, now 23, is being held by Kurdish authorities in northern Syria. His future is unclear.
"It's hard to imagine the kind of agony they must be going through because of the choices their son made," said Detective Chief Superintendent Kath Barnes. But she nonetheless hoped their convictions would send a message.
"It's not for us to choose which laws to follow and which not to," she said.

Рау́ль Ало́нсо Химе́нес Родри́гес (; родился 5 мая 1991 года в Тепехи-дель-Рио-де-Окампо, Мексика) — мексиканский футболист. Нападающий клуба «Вулверхэмптон Уондерерс» и сборной Мексики. Олимпийский чемпион 2012 года. Участник чемпионатов мира 2014, 2018 и 2022 годов.

Клубная карьера

Хименес выпускник футбольной академии столичной «Америки» и является одним из наиболее перспективных футболистов клуба. В 2010 году тренер команды Альфредо Тенья включил Рауля в заявку первой команды. 9 октября 2011 года нападающий провел свой дебютный матч за основной состав, выйдя на замену в поединке против «Монаркас Морелия», 1-1. Свой первый гол Хименес забил 30 октября того же года в проигранном матче против «Пуэблы», 2-3. Вторым мячом Хименс огорчил «Тихуану» в марте 2012 года, принеся свой команде ничью, 1:1.

Удачное выступление за клуб и на международной арене, вызвали интерес у европейских клубов, активнее всего нападающим интересовался голландский ПСВ Эйндховен. В 2013 году Рауль стал чемпионом Клаусуры в составе «Америки». Во втором туре мексиканского чемпионата 2014/2015 против «Пуэблы» Хименес сделал хет-трик и отдал голевую передачу на Орибе Перальту.

Летом 2014 года Хименес перешёл в испанский «Атлетико Мадрид». Сумма трансфера составила 10 млн евро. 25 августа в матче против «Райо Вальекано» Рауль дебютировал в Ла Лиге. В конце августа Хименес стал обладателем первого трофея в составе «Атлетико», он помог клубу обыграть мадридский «Реал» и завоевал Суперкубок Испании. 27 сентября 2014 года открыл счёт голам за свой новый клуб, поразив ворота «Севильи» на 90-й минуте матча.

Летом 2015 года предметный интерес к Хименесу проявлял английский «Вест Хэм Юнайтед», но он не смог пройти медобследование. В августе Рауль перешёл в португальскую «Бенфику» подписав контракт на пять лет. Лиссабонский клуб заплатил 1 млн.евро за переход и 3 млн.евро за выкуп 50 % прав на Хименеса. 23 августа в матче против «Ароки» он дебютировал в Сангриш лиге. 29 августа в поединке против «Морейренсе» Рауль забил свой первый гол за «Бенфику». В матчах Лиги чемпионов против немецкой «Баварии» и казахстанской «Астаны» Рауль забил три гола. В 2016 году Хименес помог клубу выиграть чемпионат. 6 декабря в поединке Лиги чемпионов против итальянского «Наполи» Рауль забил гол. В 2017 году он во второй раз стал чемпионом Португалии.

Летом 2018 года Хименес на правах аренды перешёл в английский «Вулверхэмптон Уондерерс». 11 августа в матче против «Эвертона» он дебютировал в английской Премьер-лиге. В этом же поединке Рауль забил свой первый гол за «Вулверхэмптон Уондерерс». 4 апреля 2019 года Рауль Хименес подписал контракт с английским клубом. Контракт вступит в силу с 1 июля 2019 года. Сумма трансфера составила 32 млн. фунтов. Контракт рассчитан до 2023 года.

Международная карьера

Хименес поехал в составе молодёжной сборной Мексики на футбольный турнир во французском Тулоне. Где завоевал в составе национальной команды медали, а также забил гол в матче против сборной Нидерландов, при счете 2-2, позволив мексиканцам вырваться вперед и в итоге победить. На турнире Хименес принял участие во всех 5 матчах.

20 июня 2012 года, Рауль был включен в заявку сборной на участие в летних Олимпийских играх, проходящих в Лондоне. Хименес дебютировал в первом мачте группового этапа против сборной Южной Кореи. Несмотря на то, что поединок завершился вничью, в конце матча Рауль мог принести победу для своей команды, после его удара мяч попал в штангу.

31 января 2013 года в товарищеском матче против сборной Дании Хименес дебютировал за сборную Мексики, выйдя во втором тайме вместо Альдо де Нигриса.

В 2013 году в составе национальной команды Хименес принял участие в Кубке Конфедераций. На турнире в Бразилии он сыграл в трех матчах группового этапа против сборных Бразилии, Италии и Японии.

В том же году Хименес принял участие в розыгрыше Золотого кубка КОНКАКАФ. На турнире Рауль сыграл во всех встречах, а в поединках против сборной Канады и Тринидада и Тобаго забил по голу.

В мае 2014 года Хименес попал в заявку сборной на поездку в Бразилию на мировое первенство. На турнире он сыграл в матче против сборной Бразилии. На 90-й минуте матча при счёте 0:0 мог принести победу своей сборной, прорвавшись по правому флангу и в 2 касания нанеся мощный удар по воротам бразильцев, но Жулио Сезар парировал его удар.

Летом 2015 года Рауль попал в заявку на участие Кубке Америки в Чили. На турнире он сыграл в матчах против сборных Боливии, Чили и Эквадора. В поединках против чилийцев и эквадорцев Хименес забил по голу.

В 2016 году Хименс во второй раз принял участие в Кубке Америки в США. На турнире он сыграл в матчах против команд Уругвая, Ямайки и Чили.

В 2017 году Хименес принял участие в Кубке конфедераций в России. На турнире он сыграл в матчах против команд Новой Зеландии, Германии и дважды Португалии. В поединке против новозелнадцев Рауль забил гол.

В 2018 году Хименес принял участие в чемпионате мира проходившем в России. На турнире он сыграл в матчах против команд Германии и Бразилии.

Летом 2019 года был вызван в сборную для участия в Золотом кубке КОНКАКАФ.

Air Monitoring Reports
We monitor air pollution levels, the sources of pollutants and trends in air pollution for Hawke's Bay.The government has identified a number of air pollutants that are considered important nationally and have set National Environmental Standards (NES) for them. Locally, the main pollutant of concern is PM10 because it is known to exceed acceptable levels in the region's urban areas, mainly during late autumn and winter. This is mostly due to fires being used to heat homes on chilly, calm nights when smoke from the fires is prevented from dispersing by an inversion layer in the atmosphere.
The PM10 Monitoring Network
The Hawke's Bay Regional Council's air quality monitoring network includes three stations with automatic beta attenuation PM10 monitors which continuously record PM10. These are located in Napier, Hastings and Awatoto. The Napier and Hastings sites have been operating for over five years, while the Awatoto monitor has been at its present location since February 2012 after being moved from Meeanee where it was used for a traffic impact monitoring project.
The objective at these sites is to monitor ambient PM10 levels rather than focus on a particular single source. The Marewa Park and St John's College sites reflect typical residential areas, have average traffic levels and are not dominated by any particular industrial source. The site at Waitangi Road reflects an area dominated by industrial activity. Measurements from these sites are used to monitor the State of the Environment (SOE) and to report on compliance with the new NES for air quality.
Screening monitoring
In addition to continuous monitoring, the Council conducts fixed period monitoring (typically one year) at different locations in Hawke's Bay using MicroVol monitoring equipment. The purpose of this type of monitoring, called screening monitoring, is to target areas in Hawke's Bay where no monitoring data exists, to assess whether PM10 is likely to be a problem or not. Sampling occurs every 3 days and sample filters are processed the following month in a laboratory.
In past years, screening monitoring has been carried out in Havelock North, Wairoa, Greenmeadows, Waipukurau and Waipawa. The results are shown in the pie charts below.
Trends in air quality
Amendments to the National Environmental Standards (NES) in 2011 mean that by 1 September 2016 PM10 concentrations must not exceed 50µgm-3 (24 hour average) on any more than one day per year in Napier and three days per year in Hastings and by 1 September 2020 no more than one day per year in Hastings. Since 2006, when continuous monitoring was established in both cities, the number of times PM10 concentrations have exceeded 50µgm-3 has varied in Napier between 0 to 5 occasions per year and between 10 and 28 in Hastings.
Weather conditions during winter influence PM10 concentrations in the air. On windy days the PM10 emitted into the air will be dispersed but on cold, still days a temperature inversion can form in the atmosphere which effectively traps particulates near the earth's surface. Variations in weather from year to year make it difficult to determine any trends in PM10 concentrations over time.
One way of removing the influence of meteorological conditions is to analyse concentrations on days with similar weather. An analysis was undertaken by Dr Emily Wilton of Environet Ltd which looked at PM10 levels only on days when high levels might be expected – on cold days with light winds – referred to as "normalised" PM10 concentrations. The results indicate that there has been no obvious decrease in levels in Napier since 2006 while it is possible that levels are trending downward in Hastings.
Emissions from domestic fires will need to decrease if we are to achieve the NES. The Council has implemented a clean heat programme to help residents reduce the amount of PM10 emitted from fires used for home heating, including offering financial assistance to convert to cleaner forms of heat.
Identifying the sources of air pollutants
Air Emission Inventories
Air emission inventories are used to identify sources of contaminants within a region and to quantify the contaminants being emitted over a period of time. Quantities are estimated using average emission rates for an activity based on the amount of material used, and, where available, actual emission data, such as from stack monitoring. Inventories undertaken on a regular basis can help to determine the effectiveness of measures undertaken by the Council to reduce emissions.
In June 2005 an Air Emission Inventory was completed for the Hawke's Bay region. This report quantified sources of PM10 and other contaminants in the air, and was carried out for Hawke's Bay Regional Council by Environet Ltd.
The report provides details of emissions in: Napier, Hastings, Flaxmere and Havelock North; the three areas of Wairoa, Waipawa and Waipukurau jointly; and the rest of the region. It assessed PM10 sources such as domestic heating, motor vehicles, industrial and commercial activities, outdoor burning, orchard heaters, shipping and aviation.
The report's main finding was that domestic heating (mostly from woodburners) is the largest source of PM10 in Napier and Hastings in winter, which is when concentrations of PM10 exceed the NES for air quality.
In 2010 the inventory was updated for Napier, Hastings and Havelock North.
The results from this study confirmed that domestic heating was the main source of PM10 in the cities, this time contributing 92% of average daily winter PM10 emissions in Napier and 95% in Hastings. However, the total amount of PM10 emitted from all sources was estimated to have reduced over the 5 year period between the reports. In both the 2005 and 2010 studies the amount of emissions from domestic sources was not measured directly but estimated from information provided by participants in a telephone survey.
Source Apportionment Investigations
Compared to emission inventories, source apportionment studies provide a more direct measure of the nature and sources of particles in the air through analytical techniques. It requires the collection and analysis of air samples and because of this is limited to identifying contributions to air quality at specific locations.
A GENT sampler has been located at St John's College, Marewa Park and near the beach at Awatoto for limited periods, to enable us to identify which sources contribute to fine particulates in those areas.
The contribution of different sources to PM10 concentrations in Hastings was examined as part of a national study. PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 microns in diameter) was also examined.
Contribution of sources to annual PM10 concentrations at Hastings
In Hastings, five sources were found to contribute to the PM10 concentrations. These were identified as domestic home heating, marine aerosol, motor vehicles, sulphate and soil. For this report, domestic heating sources also included outdoor burning of domestic waste. The main contributor to PM10 concentrations in Hastings was domestic heating, which was responsible for most of the annual concentrations and the winter concentrations in particular. This is consistent with the findings of the emission inventories.
The total background or "natural" contribution for Hastings during winter is estimated to be 13-15% of total PM10 (soil and sea spray). The background component of the PM10 needs to be accounted for when developing strategies for reducing PM10 concentrations in order to achieve the NES.
A similar type of study was conducted in Marewa, Napier. The main sources of particulates were divided into domestic heating; soil, sea spray and a combination of domestic heating and sea spray. Conclusions from this study were that domestic heating was the main source of total PM10 but that the contribution from natural sources was higher than observed in the Hastings study - as much as 23% on high pollution days.
The research at Awatoto was conducted over a very short time period (February to May 2010) and focussed on trialling a methodology for estimating sea spray and soil contributions to PM10. The instrument taking samples was located very close to the beach and at that location the amount of sea spray and soil was found to be quite high during the period of the study, comprising on average around 58% of total PM10.
Airshed Modelling
An airshed modelling study in Hawke's Bay was carried out by NIWA for the Regional Council in 2006. An airshed is an area where air quality is likely, or known, to exceed the NES.
The model simulated the National Environment Standard breaches for a typical year in Napier and Hastings.
Hastings has higher PM10 levels than Napier. Havelock North and Flaxmere may exceed the NES but the area of exceedance is small.
Modelling showed that Wairoa is compliant with the NES, but with PM10 concentrations reaching two-thirds of the NES level. The other urban areas (for example Waipukurau, Waipawa and Otane) appear to have low PM10 concentrations.
To attain the NES, the model estimates that emissions from domestic heating should decrease for PM10 by 79% in Hastings and 55% in Napier.
The modelling study of PM10 concentrations in Napier and Hastings was updated in 2011/12 by Golder Associates, using monitoring data up to 2010. The purpose was to provide an estimate of the spatial distribution of PM10, to quantify transport of the pollutant between and within airsheds and to update projected reductions in emissions required to meet the NES.
The main findings from this exercise were:
The peak modelled PM10 (24 hour average) was relatively high in Marewa (the site of monitoring) but the concentration is potentially higher in Pirimai.
The St John's site in Hastings is relatively well placed to measure peak concentrations, being within a ring of peak PM10 levels around central Hastings.
Very little of the PM10 in Napier's Airzone 1 originates in Hastings and vice versa. Nearly all exceedances of the NES in Napier would still occur if there were no emissions in Hastings and vice versa.
Dispersion within airsheds is significant. Approximately 30-40% of modelled PM10 at Marewa Park originates within the Marewa Census Area Unit (CAU) with the largest contributions from other CAUs coming from those lying to the west and south. Approximately 30-60% of modelled PM10 at St John's College originates from the Mayfair CAU, with the largest contribution from other CAUs coming from Parkvale to the south.
The overall reduction in emissions, from 2010 levels, required to meet the NES is 44% in Napier and 48% in Hastings. This includes an "unmanageable" contribution from natural sources so the estimated reduction in emissions from domestic heating is 47% and 50% for Napier and Hastings respectively.

Q: How to save combobox items in database using the insert into query? I want to save account in login database using combobox.
When I try to save, I'm presented with the error: "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement". I tried to find the error in my INSERT INTO statement but i was unable to figure out whats wrong. This is the code I used to add items in combobox:
cmbAccountType2.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
        string str = null;
        str = "User";
        cmbAccountType2.Items.Add(str);
        str = "Administrator";
        cmbAccountType2.Items.Add(str);

And this is the query I used to saved the account in my login database:
private void btnSaveAccount_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save item?", "Confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);

        if (result == DialogResult.Yes)
        {
            string q = "INSERT INTO LoginDB (userName, password, accountType) VALUES ('" + txtUserName1.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPassword1.Text.ToString() + "', , '" + cmbAccountType2.Text.ToString() + "')";
                doSomething(q);
        }
        else if (result == DialogResult.No)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Transaction cancelled.", "Information");
            textClear();
        }
        loadData();
    }

A: You have one extra comma here
"INSERT INTO LoginDB (userName, password, accountType) VALUES ('" + txtUserName1.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPassword1.Text.ToString() + "'**, ,** '" + cmbAccountType2.Text.ToString() + "')";

that is the reason of error,but there are some other things you can make better in your code,
using (var cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO LoginDB (userName, password, accountType) VALUES(@name,@pw,@accType)",yourConnection))
        {
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("name", txtUserName1.Text);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("pw", txtPassword1.Text);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("accType", cmbAccountType2.Text);
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

*

*Use parametirized query

*Don't use redundant ToString() methods

A: cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO LoginDB (userName, password, accountType) VALUES(@name,@pw,@accType)",yourConnection)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", txtUserName1.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pw", txtPassword1.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accType", cmbAccountType2.SelectedItem);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

A: txtPassword1.Text.ToString() + "', , '" + cmbAccountType2.Text.ToString() +

I'm not absolutely sure, but since it's a syntax error, I'm assuming this is your error.
It's part of the line where you make the query string.
string q = "INSERT INTO LoginDB (userName, password, accountType) VALUES ('" + txtUserName1.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPassword1.Text.ToString() + "', , '" + cmbAccountType2.Text.ToString() + "')";

Are you someone who participates in the Hugo Awards and suchlike? Did you know my work with the Things, Uncanny Magazine and Mad Scientist Journal makes me a Fan Artist? So if you would like to nominate me for such an honor, you can!
Australian fans can purchase Hello World from the fabulous independent comic book store Impact Comics. They have done so much to support Australian comics and local artists that I actually prefer it if you purchase from them instead of me directly! Thank you all for hanging out with the Things.

This year's Southern Living Idea House is in Nashville! I had the pleasure of touring it a few weeks ago, but was dying that they did not allow inside pictures and have been waiting for images to come available for me to share! The house is featured in the current Southern Living issue...or if you're in the Nashville area...definitely make the trip to see...and make sure to end with some googoo cluster gelato at the outpost when you're done!
The house is more like a compound consisting of one main house, a guest house, a garage/utility building with a guest suite above, and two bunkies (small guest houses with just a bedroom and bath)..and the coolest thing since sliced bread in my opinion...I think I NEED bunkies at our next house! You can view the entire house plus videos here but I thought I would share some of my favorites!
Hopefully this image gives you a better idea...its a total of 5 buildings. This will also become a bed and breakfast after the show house period ends so start making your weekend getaway plans!
This front door is just amazing! I am normally all about painting doors...but this changes my mind.
The front porch swing...where I would nap, read, blog, anything and everything!!!
Next up is the living room and kitchen of the main house. One of my favorite parts was the barn doors to the kitchen...can you see my southern design side coming out!
How about these Ann Sacks tiles?!
Then there is the study off of the master suite...where I would do all of my porch swing activities during the winter!
The main guest house includes 2 suites...one up and one down. This sitting area I LOVE! I mean that fireplace...everything about it!
Ok...now the BUNKIES...these are seriously the coolest thing...look how small and cute!
His bunkie... I need this bed!
Hope you are able to go visit it for yourself its definitely a don't miss!!


We are currently working to collect donations to help provide hunting experiences for veterans for this years hunting season. At this time we are planning the 2nd annual Dove hunt in Hoyt, the 4th Veterans day Pheasant hunt scheduled to be in Flagler, and a bear hunt in Canada. We are working to obtain some licenses for Antelope and Deer tags in Flagler. We are planning goose and duck hunts throughout the season and hoping to be in Nebraska again next year for a conservation Snow Goose hunt. We want to thank everyone who has donated.
I am crushed. I pre-requested a PS4 Pro from Gamestop and even following an entire seven day stretch of it being discharged, despite everything I haven't got my PlayStation 4 Pro. I'm so frustrated with their administration that I might need to seek after them in court.
We share to people the things that they need. Every smiles we receive from doing well is the price of this hard work. Through giving, we strengthens our personal value and we show the generosity within us. If we show to people that we are giving always, they will be inspired and encouraged to do the same. Imagine what our world would be if we are all giving and helping each other. This is what the world needs right now.
Everyone of us has their own way of relieving their stress. We have our own different leisures which we enjoy. Some sports, some arts and some just enjoy a quiet time for themselves. I am in awe with how you build good camaraderie with your colleagues. Having a good relationship with your colleagues is important if you want to have a strong foundation for your brotherhood. I am enthralled with your post. I am considering donating one of these days. Will get back to you soon!

                                               action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];
    longPress.minimumPressDuration = 2.0;
    [view6 addGestureRecognizer:longPress];

    rotationGestureRecognizer6 = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleRotationWithGestureRecognizer:)];
}

#pragma mark - UILongPressGesture Handler Method

-(void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)sender {

    if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
        NSLog(@"UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded");
    }
    else if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan){
        NSLog(@"UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan.");
        [view6 addGestureRecognizer:rotationGestureRecognizer6];
    }
}

#pragma mark - UIRotationGesture Handler Method

-(void)handleRotationWithGestureRecognizer:(UIRotationGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {

    UIView *view = [recognizer view];
    [view setTransform:CGAffineTransformRotate([view transform], [recognizer rotation])];
}

Even I had tried adding Rotation Gesture in other states of UILongPressGestureRecongnizer such as UIGestureRecognizerStateRecognized,UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged,UIGestureRecognizerStatePossible. Not a single one worked for me.
What problem I am facing is, Once logpress gesture detects, it is not adding rotation gesture for the same finger touch. I must need to left that finger touch and again when I tried to rotate it will work well. But I want to allow user to start rotation as soon as longpress gesture detect.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

A: You might want the view to respond to multiple gesture recognisers together.
When you can call method of longPressGestureRecognizer and set a Bool,
didReceiveLongPress = YES;

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer{
    if(didReceiveLongPress)
       return YES;
    else
       return NO;
}

I assume you want, the rotation to occur only after longPress. Or you can remove the IF case and directly return YES.
