Gas Crisis Fuels Dubious Online Offers
By Tom Spring
Want to cut your fuel costs by 60 percent, use water as fuel, receive a free $1000 gas card, or lock down the price of gas to $2.49 a gallon? You can find these offers on the Web--but experts say most are bogus, designed to collect personal information, to get you to sign up for services you may not want, or to sell you pricey gizmos that won't save you a dime in fuel costs.
With gas prices headed toward $5 a gallon, many people are understandably looking for ways to cut costs at the pump--and some sites can help you hunt down the lowest gas price in your neighborhood. But the Web (not to mention your inbox) is also brimming with dubious offers for free gas and schemes to save at the pump. Experts say that in most cases, you should steer clear.
"It comes down to your mother's advice," says John Paul, spokesperson for the Automobile Association of America, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
But the Better Business Bureau reports that, as gas prices have gone up, so have complaints about sites--some of them heavily promoted in search-engine ads--that promise free gas but deliver only headaches and unwanted e-mail.
'Fill 'er Up With Evian'
Components of a water-as-fuel kit that purports to cut gasoline use up to 60 percent--but experts consider such claims hogwash.
The most prevalent gas-savings pitch I've seen on the Web lately is for a kit that's supposed to show how to use water to supplement a car's use of gasoline in order to reduce fuel costs. A headline on a site called Half Water Half Gas, for example, reads: "Use water as fuel, cut your costs by as much as 60 percent and make the environment better and make your car run better at the same time."
Most of these water-as-fuel kits show you how to create a Mason jar-size gizmo that sits under your car's hood and, supposedly, extracts hydrogen from water. According to Half Water Half Gas, the hydrogen then is mixed with oxygen to create a fuel called HHO (or oxyhydrogen), which the device then pumps into your engine's intake manifold to reduce (but not eliminate) its dependence on gas.
Sites such as RunYourCarWithWater.com are also pitching $50 manuals for HHO conversion and conversion kits that range in price from $150 to $1150.
Experts say such car kits are hogwash. "All of these devices look like they could probably work for you, but let me tell you they don't," says AAA spokesperson Paul.
HalfWaterHalfGas.com's site features this diagram of how its technology works.
And Popular Mechanics editor Mike Allen, in a report called "The Truth About Water-Powered Cars: Mechanic's Diary," described the water-powered car kits advertised on the Internet as "rubbish" and "outrageous." Only under tightly controlled settings, Allen wrote, might a hybrid HHO and gasoline car see modest increases in fuel efficiency.
In other words, claims by some sites that these kits will increase your engine's gas mileage by 10 to 80 percent are not realistic.
Free Gas Cards: Not Such a Deal
ExxonMobileGiftCard.com promises a free $1000 gas card, but you have to wade through pages of pitches, accept at least a couple of the offers, and subject yourself to spam.
I found one typical free-gas offer by clicking a search-engine text ad with a pitch that read, "Getting A $1000 Gas Gift Card For Free Is Simple," for a site called ExxonMobileGiftCard.com. I didn't pursue the offer, however, because my McAfee SiteAdvisor browser toolbar identified the hyperlink presented within the ad as "unsafe" and described the site it links to as a "high volume or spammy e-mailer."
It turns out that the McAfee SiteAdvisor warning didn't even apply to ExxonMobileGiftCard.com: SiteAdvisor spokesperson Shane Keats explains that the McAfee warning actually applies to a site called paydayasap.com to which the link sends you (transparently) before redirecting you to ExxonMobilGiftCard.com. SiteAdvisor flags PayDayASAP.com because people who signed up for its promotions received nearly 150 unsolicited e-mail pitches within a week.
While stressing that the ExxonMobilGiftCard.com site (which does not appear to have any relationship to ExxonMobil) has not been formally reviewed by SiteAdvisor, Keats says the site "has all the hallmarks of a scam site."
Keats says most "free gas" sites, like free iPod sites, are really just come-ons designed to make money from visitors. ExxonMobilGiftCard.com, for example, pitches you dozens of services, products, and free trials (including an "Ivory White Teeth Whitening free trial kit" that requires a credit card payment of $4.87 for delivery).
The site requires that you take what it calls a survey, which is basically a series of sales pitches for weight-loss pills, car loans, books, and the like. After you've declined all of them, you're told that to get the gift card you must accept at least two offers.
Keats says that many of the "free gas card" sites SiteAdvisor has reviewed earn commissions on the offers--and that if you share your e-mail address, phone number, and maybe even cell-phone number, you can expect a deluge of marketing e-mail messages. The value of the commissions and your personal information can easily exceed that of the free gift card.
And you may not ever see the card: Keats says less than 5 percent of people who sign up for every offer actually get the "free" gas card (or iPod).

By the title, I am sure you all can assume that this book is about Steve Jobs. You would be correct.
It is a work of fiction that explores Steve's time in a place that is sort of like a heaven.
In his time there he learns the rules of the place, and encounters many famous figures along the way. His struggle is that he wants to figure out how to reincarnate sooner than his allotted time because he wants to make sure that his company is run correctly as long as the construction of their new building.
It is a fun book to read, very light-hearted and interesting. The writer did very good research to make it close to character for Steve and the others you meet along the way.
If you are an Apple fan or a fan of Steve Jobs, it could be a fun read to pick up. It isn't very long, so it won't devour a lot of your time.
5/5 it was fun. I found it entertaining.

2020-10-14 11:20:43 | The new three-tier lockdown system, explained
October 14, 2020 - by Amy Jones - Leave a Comment
"We are today simplifying, standardising and in some places toughening local rules in England by introducing three levels of Covid alert," he told the Downing Street briefing.
He assured: "Nowhere will be shut down indefinitely."
And he added "no one affected by this will be left to fend for themselves", with the Government having previously announced new financial assistance.
"No one least of all me wants to impose these kinds of restrictions, erosions of our personal liberty, but I'm convinced as I've ever been that the British people have the resolve to beat this virus and that together we will do just that," Mr Johnson said.
Why is this changing?
The Government recognises that local lockdown rules have become complicated and difficult to enforce so is attempting to simplify the system with the "rule of three".
Under the system there will be three tiers – medium, high and very high.
Use our interactive tool to see which tier your area falls under in England's new system for local lockdowns.
Medium level/tier one
The medium level covers most of the country and consists of the current national measures. This means those in a tier one area must abide by the "Rule of Six" and the closure of venues at 10pm.
All businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a Covid-secure manner, other than those that remain closed in law, such as nightclubs and adult entertainment venues.
Certain businesses selling food or drink on their premises are required to close between 10pm and 5am. Businesses and venues selling food for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-thru.
Schools, universities and places of worship remain open
Weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees
Organised indoor sport and exercise classes can continue to take place, provided the Rule of Six is followed
People must not meet in groups larger than six, indoors or outdoors
Read more: Tier 1 lockdown rules
High level/tier two
This is for areas with a higher level of infections. This means the following additional measures are in place:
People must not meet with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place
The "Rule of Six" will continue to apply outdoors and in private gardens.
People should aim to reduce the number of journeys they make where possible. If they need to travel, they should walk or cycle where possible, or to plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes on public transport.
Very high level/tier three
This is for areas with a very high level of infections. The Government will set a baseline of measures for any area in this local alert level. Consultation with local authorities will determine additional measures.
The baseline means the below additional measures are in place:
Pubs and bars must close, and can only remain open where they operate as if they were a restaurant – which means serving substantial meals, like a main lunchtime or evening meal. They may only serve alcohol as part of such a meal.
Wedding receptions are not allowed
People must not meet with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor or outdoor setting, whether at home or in a public space. The Rule of Six applies in open public spaces like parks and beaches.
People should try to avoid travelling outside the 'Very High' area they are in, or entering a 'Very High' area, other than for things like work, education, accessing youth services, to meet caring responsibilities or if they are in transit.
People should avoid staying overnight in another part of the UK if they are resident in a 'Very High' area, or avoid staying overnight in a 'Very High' area if they are resident elsewhere.

Is My Siding Affected By My Roof?
The roofing of the home can affect other aspects of the home. A damaged roof can contribute to leaky roofing to Newnan GA properties. Leaks can cause water to travel down the siding of the home. This makes the siding of the home particularly vulnerable to leaks. The roof can affect the siding of the home.
The leaking roof can result from missing shingles. There could be damaged flashing or clogged gutters that can contribute to a siding problem. The gradual wear and tear of the siding caused by roofing damage can affect the appearance of the property. If the roofing underlayment connected to the siding occurs, there can be damage to the siding.
How does the water damage the siding?
The water can become trapped in the underlayment under the siding. The siding materials gradually become affected by if water infiltration becomes a problem. The siding materials are no longer able to prevent water infiltration if the underlayment is continually exposed to excess levels of moisture.
Homeowners can add protective overhangs to their home. The roof overhangs safeguards against issues like water infiltration. They protect the walls from water infiltration, premature failure and staining. Wide eave overhangs ensure that the water is redirected from the foundation and from the siding.
The siding of the home is often affected by the roofing. If there is a significant storm, thunderstorm or hail activity, the roofing should be examined. There could be damage to the foundation, underlayment and siding if water infiltration ends up becoming an issue.
The roofing protects the home from the elements. If the roofing problem isn't resolved, there can be significant damage to the foundation, siding, and landscaping of the property. Having a roofing expert inspect the roof occasionally protects the home. Schedule a roofing Newnan GA consultation today if you suspect you might have roofing damage.

Heinie Zimmerman
Henry Zimmerman
Born: 2 / 9 / 1887 at New York, NY (USA)
Died: 3 / 14 / 1969 at New York, NY (USA)
This article was written by David Jones
A versatile fielder who could play second, third, or short, Heinie Zimmerman rose to prominence with the Chicago Cubs during the early teens as a lovable eccentric whose aggressive batting style won the loyalty of fans and the respect of opposing pitchers. But despite winning the National League's Triple Crown in 1912, the lifetime .295 hitter never fulfilled his immense potential, instead becoming one of the Deadball Era's best examples of wasted talent. "Zimmerman's disposition has not always been fortunate and his all round record hasn't been quite what it should have been," wrote F.C. Lane in 1917. "But there is no possible doubt that he is one of the greatest natural ball players who ever wore a uniform." By the end of the decade, the man who had once come within an eyelash of the Triple Crown found himself driven from the game in disgrace.
Henry Zimmerman was born February 9, 1887, in the Bronx, New York, the ninth of 12 children. His father, Rudolph, a German immigrant who had arrived in the United States in 1860, struggled to support his large family as a traveling salesman of imported furs. Several of his children sacrificed their education to earn more money for the family, including Henry. "When I saw what a hard time the old man was having, I decided to get a job that was a money maker," he recalled. At age 14, Henry put away his schoolbooks and took up work as a plumber's apprentice. Though he later claimed to have received all the schooling he needed, others would have disagreed. Sportswriter Warren Brown described Henry as a man who "played his baseball by ear mostly" and "was no mental giant." Stories of Zimmerman's stupidity abound, and over time he developed a reputation for dim-wittedness that was unsurpassed, even among ballplayers.
Zimmerman first honed his baseball skills on the ultra-competitive sandlots of New York City. First at a park on the corner of 163rd Street and Southern Boulevard, and later across the Hudson River in Red Bank, New Jersey, Henry established himself as one of the finest semipro players in the metro area. By 1905 he was earning $20 catching and pitching for semipro teams on weekends, which must have seemed like a king's ransom compared to the $2 per day he took home for fixing leaky faucets in the Bronx. In 1906 Zimmerman signed on as a second baseman for Wilkes-Barre of the New York State League. The Chicago Cubs purchased him for $2,000 in the midst of his second season in Wilkes-Barre.
Only 20 years old when he arrived in the major leagues in August 1907, Zimmerman stood 5' 11" and weighed 176 lbs., about average for his day. With an awkward, loping gait and a perpetual sneer plastered across his face, "even Franklin P. Adams would have had trouble reducing him to poetry in motion," Brown remarked. But the boy could hit. Blessed with exceptionally strong hands and forearms, the right-handed Zimmerman was one of the most aggressive hitters of the Deadball Era, known for swinging at pitches well out of the strike zone and lining them for base hits.
Initially Zimmerman saw little playing time, as the Cubs already featured one of the strongest infields in baseball with Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Joe Tinker, and Harry Steinfeldt. It wasn't until Evers went down with an ankle injury late in the 1910 season that Zimmerman had his first real opportunity in Chicago, starting every game of that year's World's Series.
Injuries kept Evers on the sidelines for most of 1911, as well, and Zimmerman responded with his first standout season. His .307 batting average and .462 slugging percentage both ranked among the top ten in the National League, but his shaky defense infuriated Manager Chance. When Zimmerman muffed two chances in the early innings of an August 7 game against Boston, Chance pulled him from the field and briefly suspended him for "indifferent fielding." Zimmerman was quickly becoming one of the most potent offensive weapons in the game, a rare middle infielder who could hit for both power and average, yet going into the 1912 season his status as an everday player in Chance's lineup was anything but secure.
All that changed on February 1, 1912, when the Cubs regular third baseman, Jimmy Doyle, died suddenly from appendicitis. As a result of the tragedy, Zimmerman moved from Chance's doghouse to the hot corner, where he put together one of the best seasons by any player of the Deadball Era. That year he led the NL in the Triple Crown stats of batting average (.372), home runs (14), and RBIs (104), along with slugging percentage (.571), hits (207), doubles (41), and total bases (318).
Following Zimmerman's death in 1969, his RBI total in 1912 became a matter of dispute after The Baseball Encyclopedia (frequently referred to as "Big Mac") credited him with just 99 RBIs, in third place behind Honus Wagner's 102 RBIs and Bill Sweeney's 100. For decades afterward, Zimmerman was not listed among the major-league Triple Crown winners in most reference sources. However, exhaustive research published in 2015 by SABR member Herm Krabbenhoft concluded that Zimmerman's RBI total did lead the National League and he should correctly be awarded the Triple Crown. Many reference sources like Baseball-Reference.com and Retrosheet have updated their league leader totals as a result. (Click here to read Krabbenhoft's article at SABR.org.)
Some thought Zimmerman was just the beneficiary of good luck. Teammate Cy Williams later told F.C. Lane that "he was as good a hitter that year as I ever saw. And what was he doing? He was swinging at balls a foot over his head and driving them safe. You can get away with murder when the luck is with you." But Tinker took the opposite view, insisting that Zimmerman was actually unlucky in his finest season. "Why, do you know, that fellow loses more hits through hard luck catches than I make," Tinker said. "He has the strongest pair of hands and arms that I have ever seen on a human being."
Zimmerman became the toast of Chicago. The year 1912 was the pinnacle of magician Harry "The Great" Houdini's popularity, and the city's sportswriters took to calling their third baseman "The Great Zim." Never one for modesty, Zimmerman started referring to himself in the third person under his new nickname. Chicago loved him for that, too.
Soon Zimmerman pulled a disappearing act of his own.
He enjoyed another fine offensive season in 1913, batting .313 and driving in 95 runs, but his swelled head led to confrontations with management and acrimonious contract negotiations became an annual event. More than once Zimmerman "retired" from the game, only to un-retire once spring training rolled around. What money he did receive, he spent quickly -- and often unwisely. "Zim never knew how much money he had because he made the team's secretary his banker and 'touched' the secretary for five and ten-spots until his salary was gone, then economized until the roll was replenished," wrote one observer, who noted Zimmerman's fetish for lavish neckties.
The indiscriminate spending might have been amusing had it not come at the expense of his new family. In 1912 Henry married the 17-year-old Helene Chasar, who one year later gave birth to a daughter, Margaret. The marriage soon deteriorated, however, and in January 1915 Chasar sued Zimmerman for alimony. "Although the wife alleges Zimmerman is paid $7,200 a year by the Chicago Club for his services," one Chicago newspaper reported, "she alleges he has not sent any money to support her in some time, excepting a five-dollar gold piece which was sent her as a Christmas present for their daughter." The couple divorced in March 1916.
Before long the discord began to take its toll, and his performance on the field started falling short of expectations. In 1915 he suffered through his worst season, batting just .265 with a paltry .379 slugging percentage. For the first time, but not the last, pernicious rumors of Zimmerman's dishonesty began to surface. That year The Sporting News described him as "one of the most interesting problems of baseball," a player whose "energy [is] being misdirected and talents largely wasted." Zimmerman developed a reputation throughout the league as a "bad actor," prone to sudden, inexplicable mood swings that dictated the amount of effort he put forth on any given day. The Cubs finally tired of him and dealt him to the New York Giants for Larry Doyle in August 1916. At the time of the trade, Zimmerman was under a ten-day suspension for "laying down on the job." Most managers wanted nothing to do with the erratic Zimmerman, but manager John McGraw prided himself on his ability to rehabilitate players deemed hopeless by other baseball men.
Cellar-dwellars in 1915, the Giants were slumping toward another losing season in 1916 until the Zimmerman trade, when they suddenly caught fire and reeled off a record 26 consecutive victories. Between Chicago and New York, Zimmerman collected a league-leading 83 RBIs, but his reputation preceded his accomplishments in the eyes of many observers. "Zimmerman might have been the greatest player, but he wasn't," dryly noted F. C. Lane of Baseball Magazine. "Zimmerman has not, of late years, played his best game. Any time he wishes to exert himself he has the natural ability, but his temperament has been a big handicap."
In 1917 Zimmerman responded to his critics with his best hitting performance in four years. His .297 batting average was his best mark since 1913 and his 102 RBIs paced the circuit by a comfortable margin, helping the retooled Giants run away with the pennant. Zimmerman's improved performance also had Lane singing a different tune: "We know nothing of Zimmerman's qualifications for alderman or a seat on the school committee, but he certainly can play third base." His triumphant season concluded in the worst manner imaginable, however, when he batted just .120 and committed three errors in the Giants' loss to the Chicago White Sox in the 1917 World's Series.
It was Zimmerman's role in a botched rundown in the sixth and final game that forever sealed his fate as the goat of that Series. With the game scoreless in the top of the fourth inning, Heinie made a bad throw on an Eddie Collins grounder, allowing Collins to advance to second. Dave Robertson then dropped Joe Jackson's fly ball, putting runners at second and third with no outs. At that point Happy Felsch grounded back to the pitcher, Rube Benton, who threw to Zimmerman at third, catching Collins in a rundown. Zimmerman threw the ball to catcher Bill Rariden, but when Rariden tossed the ball back to Zimmerman, the clever Collins slipped past the catcher and sprinted for home. Both Benton and Giants first baseman Walter Holke neglected to back up the play, leaving home plate unattended. With a foot pursuit his only option, the lumbering Zimmerman tried unsuccessfully to chase down the speedy Collins, who slid across home plate with what proved to be the Series-winning run.
The play was not Zimmerman's fault, but that didn't matter -- the press mercilessly ridiculed him. The New York Times called the play "Zimmerman's deathless outburst of stupidity." "The great crowd shook with laughter and filled the air with cries of derision at one of the stupidest plays that has ever been seen in a world's series," reported the Times. "Zim thought it was a track meet instead of a ball game and wanted to match his lumber wagon gait against the fleetest player in the game." Heinie emphatically defended his actions, and Collins himself exonerated the rival third baseman of all blame, but to no avail. More than a half-century later, newspaper reports of Zimmerman's death carried this headline: "Giants' Heinie Zimmerman Dies; Committed 1917 Series 'Boner.'"
Unfairly branded as a buffoon in the papers, Zimmerman emerged from his final World's Series bitter and disillusioned. In 1918 he suffered through one of his poorest seasons, his batting average falling to .272 and his RBIs plummeting to 56. Lane noted a change in the former star. "He seemed to suffer from the all-round slough of discouragement which engulfed the Giants' hopes," remarked Baseball Magazine's star reporter after the season. Partly because of Zimmerman, the Giants failed to duplicate their 1917 success, and as the season progressed Zimmerman's effort started to flag. In July McGraw bawled him out in public and then benched him for failing to run out a pop fly.
For years Zimmerman's inconsistency had fueled suspicion among some members of the press that he was a dishonest player, but prior to 1919 the accusations never rose above the level of vague insinuation. Words like "erratic," "episodic," and "problematic" left unspoken the fear shared by many that Zimmerman might have been selling ballgames. The events of 1919, however, removed all doubt. Before the season the Giants acquired the most notorious game-thrower of them all, Hal Chase, from the Cincinnati Reds. McGraw believed that he could reform the corrupt Chase, but instead of turning over a new leaf, Prince Hal repaid McGraw's kindness by shifting his game-fixing operations to a new city, recruiting Zimmerman as his new sidekick.
For the second consecutive year Zimmerman performed below expectations, but this time the root cause may have been something other than frustration or distraction. As the Giants limped through another disappointing campaign, Zimmerman and Chase became inseparable friends, often hanging out with gamblers in bars and restaurants. In such an environment, what happened next was probably inevitable. On September 11, Zimmerman approached pitcher Fred Toney after the first inning of a game in Chicago and informed him that "it would be worth his while" not to bear down on the Cubs. One inning later, Toney asked to be removed from the game, but Zimmerman didn't stop there. That same evening, Chase and Cubs infielder Buck Herzog informed Benton that he could "make some easy money" by letting Chicago win. When Benton beat the Cubs anyway the following afternoon, Zimmerman approached him in the hotel lobby after the game and said, "You poor fish, don't you know there was $400 waiting for you to lose that game today?"
There was more. A few days later in St. Louis, Chase and Zimmerman offered outfielder Benny Kauff $125 per game to help them throw games. By that time, word of the pair's activities had reached McGraw, who promptly suspended Zimmerman from the team. (Chase remained with the team for two more weeks.) At the time, McGraw's public explanation for Zimmerman's suspension was that he had broken curfew, but shortly thereafter McGraw and Giants owner Charles Stoneham got Zimmerman to confess to his real offenses. It was the end of his major league career.
In an earlier era Zimmerman might have been able to continue in the profession with some other club, but any such hope was forever lost with the public revelation of the Black Sox scandal. In September 1920, a grand jury was convened to investigate gambling in baseball, and it was at those hearings that Zimmerman's misdeeds were brought to light. McGraw and Toney both testified to Zimmerman's actions at the end of the 1919 season. In an affadavit, Zimmerman admitted to offering bribes to Toney, Benton, and Kauff, but insisted he did so only at the request of an unnamed Chicago gambler. "He made me no personal offer, but asked me to deliver this message to these three men," Zimmerman claimed. "Although I was not to benefit by it, I went to Kauff, Toney and Benton and delivered the message." He insisted that he had played to win the suspect games.
No one believed Zimmerman, but what he had confessed to was damning enough. Though never officially banned, he became persona non grata throughout Organized Baseball. Once, when Zimmerman tried to play a semipro game at a park in Harrison, New Jersey, owned by someone who was connected with Organized Baseball, he was asked to leave the grounds before the game even started. "This was a fine deal," Zimmerman glumly told reporters.
In the absence of any other livelihood, Zimmerman remarried and went back to working as a plumber in the Bronx, though before long he supplemented that work through less reputable sources of income. In 1929-30 Zimmerman operated a speakeasy with the famous racketeer Dutch Schultz, becoming closely connected with New York's most ruthless mobster. In 1928 Zimmerman's brother in law, a top Schultz lieutenant, was fatally shot outside a West 54th Street nightclub. In 1935 Zimmerman was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the government's tax evasion and conspiracy case against Schultz. The government lost the case, but a few months later Schultz was gunned down in a Newark restaurant.
Ignored and forgotten, Zimmerman reassumed the blue-collar lifestyle that was the inheritance of his childhood. In his last job he worked as a steamfitter for a construction company. Heinie Zimmerman died in New York City on March 14, 1969, after a brief battle with cancer. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, a short drive south from his boyhood home.

Grant R. Brimhall Public Library
The Thousand Oaks Library, later named the Grant R. Brimhall Library in honor of the former city manager, features a sawtooth roof profile and clerestory ribbon windows. Despite previous repair attempts, the library had leaked since opening in 1982. SGH investigated leaks and developed repairs that fit within the building's original architectural design.
SGH investigated leakage, performed water testing, and assessed the condition of the building enclosure comprising the standing seam metal and built-up roofs, clerestory windows, curtain walls, and exterior cladding.
Recognizing the architectural significance of the library, we developed repair options for the city's consideration. SGH then developed a rehabilitation plan to address leakage and evaluated the repairs' effect on the library's appearance and function. Our remedial design addressed vulnerabilities in the roofing assemblies, curtain wall, building expansion joints, and cladding, while balancing reliability, ease of maintenance, and life cycle costs of alternative repair approach. We used LEED guidelines to help us evaluate environmental impact of the remedial design and material selection for this project.
SGH provided construction administration services, including field testing to verify performance, for the fourteen-month project, which was completed while the building remained in use and finished on time and on budget.

'Too big to fail' banks need $1.2 trillion
by Matt Egan @MattEganCNN November 9, 2015: 11:55 AM ET
Big banks better start looking under the couch cushions. They need to come up with $1.2 trillion to fortify themselves from the next financial meltdown.
Global financial regulators Monday issued new rules that are designed to prevent a failing big bank from dragging down the entire financial system. That's what happened in 2008 when Lehman Brothers imploded, sparking the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
The rules call for the 30 biggest banks in the world to boost their capital cushions, the loss-absorbing cash they have to set aside for financial storms.
"The idea is to make it more expensive to be big," said Christopher Baker, a credit analyst covering banks at Morningstar.

Too Big to Fail rules
These stricter requirements affect American giants like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC)and Goldman Sachs (GS) as well as European behemoths like HSBC (HSBC) and Barclays.
Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan are the U.S. banks most vulnerable to the new G20 rules, Morningstar's Baker said. He estimates Wells Fargo may need to raise up to $30 billion, while JPMorgan could need $25 billion.
The Financial Stability Board, a watchdog created by the G20 after the last crisis, said total loss absorbing capacity must equal 16% of a bank's assets by 2019. That requirement then rises to 18% by 2022.
Banks need to raise $1.2 trillion to meet that higher threshold, regulators estimate.
The new rules are designed to ensure that failing banks can be safely wound down in a way that "minimizes impacts on financial stability, maintains the continuity of critical functions and avoids exposing public funds to loss," Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said in a statement. Carney also serves as the boss of the FSB.
Carney said these benefits far outweigh potential economic costs such as slightly higher borrowing rates.

Wells Fargo, JPMorgan are most affected
Shares of banks impacted by the capital cushion requirements fell modestly on Monday amid a broad selloff on Wall Street. That's despite the fact that the rules were less strict than banks had been bracing for.
To fill the gap between their current capital and the new required thresholds, banks will likely need to issue debt.
The rules are designed to force banks to stop relying on the risky short-term funding that can vanish in a crisis (see: Lehman) in favor of safer, longer-duration bonds backed by the highest levels of the bank.

Beginning in 1858, the nickel coin would be created for Canadian currency and provide Canadians with an option for payment for goods and services. The coin would change its look and composition over the years, taking over as the smallest form of currency in the county after the penny was removed from circulation in February 2013. Read on to see how the coin evolved from the time frame of 1910 to 1921, as a new reigning monarch takes over.
From 1911 until 1936, the design of the nickel would include George V. The design of the coin was created by W.H.J. Blakemore for the reverse side of the coin which depicted a left-facing image of George V. The same composition of the coin would be used in this design as had been used in the past which consisted of 1.16 grams in weight, 15.5mm in diameter and a composition consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.
In 1911, the five cent coin would be issued in Canada that featured George V on the obverse side. The inscription DEI GRATIA would be omitted from the inscription on this side of the coin, term meaning "God' Grace" in Latin. These coins became known as the Godless Coins and would be unpopular with the public. The very next year, the Royal Canadian Mint would return the phrase to the coins due to public outrage.
No further changes would be seen in the nickel currency until the 1920s when significant changes were made to the composition as well as image of the coin.
The five cent silver coins of 1920 and 1921 would be produced with the same George V design as well as weight and diameter. However, the composition would change to 80% silver and 20% copper.
For 1921, the Royal Canadian Mint would decide to melt many of the coins down after they had been struck as the five cent coin would become struck in nickel beginning in 1922. Because of this, the coin created in 1921 is the scarcest date to be found in the five cent series when considering only the date. There is no concrete information available in regards to exactly how many five cent coins from 1921 are in existence but more than 300 such coins have been certified.
The Royal Canadian Mint was first opened in January 1908, with coins before that time being produced in England by the Royal Mint or the Heaton Mint. By 1911, the Royal Mint had opened the Ottawa branch and Canada's very own refinery was created. By the end of 1911, the Mint was able to produce a record number of gold sovereigns within the new facility.
This was the same year that a new monarch would take the throne. In 1910, King George V accepted the throne which meant the Royal Canadian Mint had to now create a design for currency that would feature his effigy. Canadian currency continues to depict an image of the reigning monarch.

Are you concerned about getting a tooth filled because you do not want that unnatural silver color coating one of your molars? Now you do not have to let this fear stop you any longer because we offer amazingly advantageous tooth-colored fillings at our office. We warmly invite you to find out more about the many ways that these can benefit you.
The first and most obvious benefit to these fillings is that they simply look more like your actual tooth. In fact, they can be practically invisible to the naked eye. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, none of your friends will be able to notice that you even have a filling because we can color-match the filling to your other teeth.
You can rest assured that you have nothing remotely toxic in your mouth when you choose tooth-colored fillings.
Traditional fillings can swell and contract with temperature changes. Over time, this can wreak havoc on the filling and on the tooth itself. This type of temperature change simply does not occur with tooth-colored fillings.
Tooth-colored fillings are so strong because they are bonded directly to your tooth. This, in turn, makes your tooth stronger as well and protects it from chipping, cracking or breaking. In addition, they tend to require far less of the tooth to be drilled away than silver amalgam fillings do.
One of the negative consequences of silver amalgam fillings is that they can actually stain the surrounding tooth and even the gums over time. Eventually, you may notice your tooth turning gray or black. Even if this filling is removed, your tooth cannot be bleached back to white again. Tooth-colored fillings do not stain.
With good care, a tooth-colored filling made of a composite may last up to 12 to 15 years.
As you can see, tooth-colored fillings are far superior to their older metal-based counterparts. They are safer, more natural-looking and stronger than ever. During an appointment at Brevard Smiles in Indian Harbour Beach or Rockledge, we can discuss our many treatment options with you if you have a cavity or some other type of dental concern. Contact us today to book your dental appointment!

Canjáyar is an agricultural town in Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It is situated along the river Andarax in the Alpujarra region of Almería 47 kilometers from the provincial capital, Almería. The mild climate in Canjáyar makes it a year-round tourist destination. Canjáyar is found at the foot of Sierra Nevada, looking over into the Sierra de Gádor. Surrounded by orchards, which are themselves served by a system of hundred year old aqueducts, it is a great place to enjoy rural tourism.

The town has held a yearly Holy Cross festival on April 19 since 1601.

Symbols
Both the town flag and the coat of arms depict a golden sheaf of wheat on an azure background.

Climate
Canjáyar has a Mediterranean climate with a continental influence. Annual rainfall rarely exceeds 300 mm. Summers are hot and dry, with highs that can reach 40 °C, and even 45 °C on rare occasions. Winters are cool, with temperatures typically range between 0 °C and 15 °C. Frosts are rare in the town, but are more common in the surrounding mountains.

History

Prehistory and Ancient
Bronze Age remains have been found in nearby Nieles Cave. There is also evidence of Roman era agriculture.

Medieval and Modern
The first mention of this town was from the Arab geographer, Al-Idrisi. The 10th century Qansayar mentioned that it had a defensive fortification. Later, in the 14th and 15th centuries, Canjáyar enjoyed a prosperous economy benefiting from its access to water. Agriculture and herding remained the foundation of the town's economy until the advent of lead mining in the late 18th century. The town went through an economic boom in 1835 with the introduction of the table grape and the development of irrigation projects that increased the amount of arable land. At the turn of the 20th century the population had grown to about 3000, around twice the present number.  Contemporary agricultural crops are more diverse, and include grains, olives, and fruit.

I just got one of the dual fan XFX Vega 56 cards, and I do not recommend this thing to anyone. It has the original Vega problem with the TIM beind hard as a rock and not touching the HBM because the stacks are lower than the GPU die, and even if you repaste and flood it so it makes contact, the fans are so excessively loud that you could only dream for the silence of a blower. This thing is all around terrible, and to add insult to injury their tiny "custom" PCB has no water blocks available and it coil whines worse than any card I've ever heard in 20+ years of doing this.
Quick question though, how is having steel armor in skyrim like having an ipad in world war 2? If the U.S stormed normandy with ipads i'm pretty sure we would all be speaking german about now.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has published a major story today on the suicides of two University of Iowa professors who were charged with sexual harassment and then committed suicide. The two cases were unrelated to each other. Both professors committed suicide days after the sexual harassment charges became public. Professor Mark Weiger committed suicide three months after the suicide of Professor Arthur Miller.
The CHE reported that after Professor Miller was banished from his classroom by the University that UI President, Sally Mason
"issued a statement saying she would not tolerate the kind of conduct Mr. Miller had been accused of. She also said the case had prompted her to make sexual-harassment -awareness training mandatory for all professors. And while she said that "every person is entitled to the presumption of innocence," she then went on to "applaud the courage of the student victims in coming forward" to charge Mr. Miller.
President Mason declined to answer questions about her statement, but Ms. (Dean) Maxson defends it, saying the president had to take a tough stand because Mr. Miller had been "accused of a very serious infraction of behavioral and legal rules." To the professor, his wife, and some of his colleagues, however, it felt like the president was pronouncing him guilty before he had even had a chance to defend himself.
Of course, in the dankprofessor's opinion, President Sally Mason was pronouncing Professor Miller guilty. She not only suspended him from the classroom, but ordered that all faculty go thru sexual harassment training as well as applauding the courage of student victims coming forward.
Maybe Mason should have drawn on some of her own courage to publicly call for the adherence of to the principle of the presumption of innocence. But such was not the case. And three months later when Professor Weiger's situation became public, Weiger knew what to expect and obviously could not deal with this kind of public degradation.
What boggles the mind of the dankprofessor is that President Mason instead of calling for mandating suicide prevention training after these two suicides, she mandates sexual harassment training. Certainly this gives insight into the values of the President. Sexual harassment trumps suicide in her hierarchy of values. The lethality of suicide simply is not as weighty as the effects of being sexually harassed.
In the CHE article, the UI administration stated that UI stays neutral in these sorts of cases. I guess neutrality means giving short shrift to having any sort of reaching out to the charged professors that would help them psychologically get thru these travails. I guess this would be considered to be coddling the sexual predator professor. Of course, one does not coddle the guilty, only the innocent. And it is obvious that the UI administration did not honor the presumption of innocence.
Helping those who are held to be victimized is expected. The UI is not neutral in such matters, they attempt to psychologically help the student victim but not the professor who they de facto treat as an offender.
For example, in December the Daily Iowan reported on the programs that were being implemented at the UI to help student victims of sexual misconduct-
To establish one point of contact for victims, the UI hired Monique DiCarlo from the Women's Resource Action Center to act as the school's coordinator for sexual-misconduct response.
Each school would also establish new victim-advocate positions. DiCarlo will assign a victim-advocate to each sexual-assault report.
"Having an advocate on hand at all times is crucial for any victim," said Cathlene Argento, a Women's Resource and Action Center volunteer. "It's great that victims can form a relationship with someone to help them through that event in their lives."
The mother of the alleged UI sexual-assault victim complained in a letter to UI President Sally Mason that she felt there were too few UI officials looking out for her daughter.
Parrott said the UI will now strongly encourage victims to take their sexual-assault allegations to the police as well as the UI.
Employing the rhetoric of Cathlene Agento, the Women's Resources and Action Center volunteer, wouldn't it be great if faculty and others so charged be able to "…form a relationship with someone to help them through that event in their lives." And if such a policy had been applied to the charged faculty at UI during the past year, maybe, just maybe, two faculty lives could have been saved.

There has been an expansion of the fresh seafood options all over the world. This has been done through increased fishing technologies, more imports and farming more seafood options. One of the most fundamental changes is the increased farming of seafood due to their known benefits and great taste. An outstanding truth is that the wild fish always have a superior taste to the farmed fish. As a result there has been increased mistrust for sellers who might be purporting to sell wild fish while the truth might be they are selling farmed fish. Placing your order of seafood online has however made it easier for buyers to connect with genuine sellers of wild-caught fish. If you have been a victim of the lie of farmed seafood when you wanted the wild one, change your tactic of getting your supplies. Once you connect with a trusted seller, you can then stick with that one or occasionally taste what other sellers offer.
People who reside on the coast have the advantage of enjoying different types of fresh seafood options such as shrimps and crabs. For those who stay ways from the coast, they may be relegated to taking frozen seafood alternatives. Frozen fish can never taste the same as fresh seafood options. More advanced techniques have been made to preserve seafood that cannot be frozen. Culture and region have a great influence on the fresh seafood options available. Certain seafood alternatives are not available in a certain place. The main seafood is often revolved around the common fish available in the place.
In some area of the world, shrimp can be boiled as well as grilled. It is often more available than the lobster since it can be frozen. Shrimp can be used to prepare a variety of fresh seafood options. Commonly, the small shrimp is boiled and cooks very quickly. You need to keep watch to avoid overcooking. Grilling is the most preferred method of preparing larger shrimps. Use of a wooden skewer before grilling makes the best. As you cook, you can brush the shrimp with olive oil, pepper, garlic and salt.
The sea crab has different strains such as the kings crabs, dungeons crabs, Maryland crab and blue crabs. The best way to cook crab is when killed other than when alive as prefer for lobster. This way, you will be able to cook soft crab meat since it will absorb less water. Removes the claws and then cut open the stomach, by use of small spoon, scoop the brown meat from the inside and remove the white meat from the claws and legs. You can then cook it either by boiling or over a saucepan.

Every business for example Trento restaurant wants to be on the frontline in the kind of things they avail to the consumers and have them do their best to become known. Sometimes it can be confusing together all the items and ensure that you make up the best. Whatever the case, you have to make it, and there are some who have made it like the Trento restaurant. The top characteristics of such restaurants like Trento restaurant that have made it through including the following.
Firstly, the most important thing of all is cooking tasty food. You do not wish to have customers come into the restaurant, and once they are done with their meals, they leave bad reports of the kind of food you cook. the meals you present to the customers speak a lot, and that is what will make them want to be more close to your restaurant. This is the same way you should work out how you handle the kitchen and consider what goes out to the customers so that you can have a good name about your meals to the market. Ensure the quality of the food you present is equivalent to the money that the customers spend on the same meals. On this account, if you learn to look into such matters you will never get it wrong or go wrong with your customers because they will embrace you.
This is also a factor that influences the success of many restaurants. The reason behind this is that most of the people have their own opinions regarding many matters and one of them is the beverages. There are those that would want a particular kind, and others differ in the liking. Therefore, it is good to have this in mind just to know that you are going to receive customers from all parts and they will come asking for different flavors. This is because if you favor one side, you are likely to lose many prospective buyers. Take time to look for as many varieties as possible so that you can stick them to your restaurant because they will always find what they prefer.
Finally, they are good at service and have a great hospitable environment for their visitors and even within themselves. They have a system of respect both to the visitors and to their fellow workmates like in Trento restaurantt. they do not leave customers struggling with the decision of what they need. there is no waste of time for everything that you order. they have systems that allow you to see how organized they are in their work. There is no unnecessary noise or shouting at clients or among themselves.

Influx of Hawk Owls (Surnia ulula) this winter?
According to discussion in EuroTwitch there is a good chance that twitchers of the north of Middle Europe can observe Hawk Owls (Surnia ulula) this winter/ late fall on their homegrounds. This should be not only true for Denmark but also at least for the northern part of Germany for this autumn/winter as there are very good numbers in Finland (incl. south and west coast) with, for example, 164 observations reported within last 7 days (some undoubtedly concern same individuals but gives an indication of the abundance) from the whole of Finland. At first sight, it seems that similar numbers are being reported from Sweden and last weekend two birds were observed in the extreme south (Scania). In the "Danish Bird News" they announced the first Hawk Owl for almost 7 years already. A 1st winter individual has been seen at Store Hareskov, Copenhagen during 30th September to 8th October.
From time to time there are wintering birds far inland. Last time, I remember very well, was in 2006, when Hawk Owls could be seen in the middle of Germany 100km south of Berlin. The picture shows a vagrant bird at the former lignite opencast mine Dubrau at the Spreewald near Vetschau/ Brandenburg/ Germany on march 22nd 2006.
To cope with the growing demand for top shots of the rarer species of the Palearctic Bird-Lens is keen to enrich the range of pictures of birds you can find in the western palearctic. Trips to remote places to capture images of rare birds of western palearctic were very successful. This nice image is only a first impression, what you will find in the gallery in the "Pictures Shop" very soon. Just give me a message, if I could serve you with an image needed before the new pictures are online.

Heroes (TV series)
From a writer of the somewhat similarly-themed Misfits of Science. "Heroes" is an ambitious Story Arc-based series about what would happen if people with super powers started appearing in the "real" world.
Heroes is best known for certain things: its overwhelmingly vast array of characters, its heavy, complex, and fast-moving storyline, its creative use of online content... and the characters' almost embarrassing stupefying Genre Blindness and mis-application of their powers, not to mention a plethora of bad decisions. If there was a "This Will Not End Well" trope, Heroes would be the poster show.
The first "Volume" (see note below) of Heroes started out somewhat slow, but it soon matured and was entertaining, engaging, and interesting. The show picked up tremendous speed as the story progressed, and received high ratings and critical acclaim. Sadly, the second Volume didn't do quite as well. The storyline became muddled and there were several mistakes made in regard to newly introduced characters, pacing, plot and overall characterization. Fans were so vocally disappointed that Tim Kring, the producer and mastermind behind the series, felt compelled to apologize publicly in an open online letter to the fans. Some of the blame is attributed to the writer's strike that year, as it cut the season short and drastically altered the plans for the show.
Unfortunately, the series has never fully recovered to the general audience. The third Volume seemed to be getting on track, with several interesting plot twists as early as the season premiere. Unfortunately, after starting with some interesting Character Development, it took a sharp turn off a cliff into a Random Events Plot with little coherence. The characters started acting very strange and almost every plotline from the first 75% of the season was either forgotten or ignored. The Fourth Volume struggled to get back on track - Your Mileage May Vary widely as to what extent they managed it. A lot. Volume Five "redeemed" the show quality-wise for some other people, further fragmenting the show's already Broken Base.
On May 14, 2010, NBC officially cancelled Heroes and all hell broke loose. While there were some rumors of a follow-up television event or more dabbling in the Expanded Universe to clinch the series, nothing has come of it yet...
Be sure to check out its character sheet page. There is also a tool for gathering and voting (or venting) on your Biggest Complaints.
NOTE: "Heroes", wanting to be different, has "Volumes" instead of seasons. Each Volume is its own Story Arc: Volume 1 = Season 1; Volume 2 = Season 2; Volume 3 = Season 3 in the winter; Volume 4 = Season 3 in the spring; Volume 5 = Season 4. The ending episode of each volume includes a sneak peek at the next volume so Volume 5 ends with a cut-in to Volume 6 (which never materialized, as the show was canceled after Volume 5). Got that? (If not, don't worry too much; it's what editors are for.) This is probably because it's meant to be about comicbook style superheroes.
Warning: This page, much like this entire web site, contains no small number of spoilers. Reading it before watching the episodes to date will ruin plot points, wilt your geraniums, drive your pets crazy, and make you get a hair cut.

Create columns in Excel: for Amplitude, delta t, Time & Square Wave. Step 2. Enter desired values for Amplitude and delta t (sec.) Step 3. Fill in column for Time (sec.) A. Enter in the initial time (in this example 0.0 sec.) in the first cell in the time column. B. Fill in the time column using Equation 1 t i+1 = t i + Dt (Equation 1) Note: you need to fix the cell for delta t in Equation 1... For carving a square wave to a perfect sine wave, we can employ a wien bridge oscillator or more precisely a "bubba oscillator" and feed it to a sine wave processor stage. This method would be too complex and is therefore not a recommended idea for implementing an existing square wave inverter to a sine wave inverter.
Soft square wave. Soft square wave provides a smooth, soft, "buttery" arc with a fluid puddle and good wetting action. The puddle is more fluid than with advanced square wave and more controllable than with sine wave.
A sinusoidal wave, simply known as a sine wave, is a wave which oscillates according to the equation y = A sin (?t � kx). This means a snapshot of the particles affected by the wave at a given time will display the �sine� function behavior.
12/09/2007�� You can design a crystal oscillator to put out either a sine or a square wave. A "clock oscillator" is just a canned crystal oscillator -- a crystal oscillator is usually what you call it when you make your own oscillator with a crystal, some discretes and an inverter (or the Xin/Xout pins on a microcontroller, for example).

Djokovic's mother told a press conference in Serbia that the court case was the "biggest win in his career."
"This is his biggest win in his career, it is bigger than any Grand Slam," Dijana Djokovic told reporters.
"He has done nothing wrong, he hasn't broken any of their laws. He has been subject to harassment.
"He fought against the system and the government because he had the right to be there."
Djokovic's visa was initially cancelled last week on the basis he did not provide sufficient evidence for his vaccine exemption.
The judge found unreasonableness in how the border official made his decision cancelling the visa.
He said the cancellation was unreasonable because Djokovic was denied enough time to consult others about the cancellation while detained at the airport.
The player was told he would have until 8.30am local time last Thursday to make comments about the visa cancellation under Australian law, but the Border Force made the final decision shortly after 7.40am.
Judge Kelly said he felt "agitated" by Djokovic's treatment by Australian officials.
He said "a professor and an eminently qualified physician have produced and provided to the applicant a medical exemption."
"What more could this man have done?" he asked.
Djokovic's lawyers said the top seed was given a vaccine exemption to enter Australia because he tested positive for Covid on December 16.
However, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said recent infection was not a valid reason for a medical exemption.
Djokovic, who was being held at an immigration hotel alongside refugees who have been there for years, is opposed to vaccination.
The Serb is vying for his tenth title in the Australian Open. The tournament begins next week.

The 1616 Walnut Street Building or 1616 Building is a historic high-rise building in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A twenty-four-story building, it stands ninety-four meters tall.

Listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1982, it was then also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

History and features
 In 1930, the architects received an award for the building's design at the 12th International Buildings Congress in Budapest.

Its five-story parking garage on the Chancellor Street side, part of the original construction, was considered a novelty in 1929.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1982.

Residential conversion
In 2013, 1616 Walnut Street was renamed "Icon" as it underwent an extensive renovation, transforming it from commercial space to an apartment building.
