Road Diet: Thomas Street
Jef Nickerson
Thomas Street
A Road Diet is when the overall width, lane width, or number of lanes on a road is reduced. The goal of the Road Diet is to reduce the speed of traffic and improve safety and or capacity for pedestrians and cyclists.
There are many streets in Providence that need to go on diets, and we will profile some of them here. The first one I'd like to show is Thomas Street.
Thomas Street runs between Benefit Street and North Main Street, connecting Angell Street to Steeple Street. Currently Thomas Street is set up to have up to three lanes, the lanes are rather wide, and there is a right turn lane at the bottom of the street onto North Main. As a result of the wide lane width and number of lanes, traffic tends to move at a very high rate of speed down Thomas Street. Recently a car went through the front of the Providence Art Club taking a street light down along the way.
The sidewalks on either side of Thomas Street are very narrow, the sidewalk on the Baptist Church Street side is only wide enough for one person (when two people pass, one has to step into the street). On the Art Club side, the sidewalk is wider, however steps into buildings and streetlights and fire hydrants and the like make the effective width of the sidewalk similar to that on the other side (i.e. very narrow).

At the bottom of the hill, the radius of the right turn lane means that traffic tends to roll through the right turn, not yielding to pedestrians trying to cross North Main. Often drivers only look left while rolling through the right turn, never looking right to see if there are any pedestrians. Remove the right turn lane and shallow radius, force traffic to stop before making a right angle turn and drivers will be forced to be more aware of their surroundings, including pedestrians when turning.

As shown in the images above, putting the road on a diet reduces the width of the road where it meets North Main Street. Reducing the road width reduces the gap that pedestrians need to cross. A northbound pedestrian no longer has to fear a car speeding down the street and sliding through that third lane right turn without stopping or looking (as often happens now).
Putting Thomas Street on a diet gives more room and more safety to pedestrians without a large hit to traffic capacity. The impact on traffic is to basically slow it, and in practice traffic is mostly going as fast as it can down the hill to get to a red light (behavior you'll see all over the city).

PVD's 5 Worst Intersections…
The Squares of Providence
Marc Doughty says:
I have to disagree on this. I think that intersection is safe as a driver, pedestrian, and cyclist. It's a really -busy- intersection between peds, bikes, and cars, not to mention that it's at the bottom of a steep hill, so a little bit of anxiety is totally to be expected there. Also, the lights in this city don't time-up properly, which is why people are always racing to get to the next one before it changes. If you weren't sitting in your car at a red light staring at the next intersection's green light for fifteen seconds(and you know it won't stay green forever) when your light turns green, you're going to try to 'make it'.
I seem to recall a time when the lights in the city -did- time up well, but it all seemed to go to the dogs after Buddy was ousted. I'm guessing that he had some friends in Public Works who just stopped caring so much after he left office. These days the prevailing strategy to light-timing in the city seems to be 'trap the drivers so they can't speed' when it should be 'time the lights to prevent traffic and keep the drivers moving at a steady, sane pace.'
I'm actually -really- disappointed by the 'road diet' job done on Hope Street (near the boulevard) a few years ago. The idea was to make the roads more narrow and the sidewalk wider in some spots to slow traffic, but all it does is force me to bike right into the 'car zone' (where the cars are still going full-speed).
I sort of botched the grammar towards the end of the first paragraph, sorry folks, it's late!
I have to disagree here too. It's a very, very busy intersection. Not only would narrowing the street do little to relieve the stress on cyclists and pedestrians for the reasons that Marc stated above, but it would cause traffic to regularly back up far through the intersection of Angell and Benefit, which would then cause traffic to back up on Benefit, and probably on Waterman as well.
I would suggest saving the diet for another street — one that slopes less precipitously — where the additional sidewalk width could be more usefully employed for cafe seating and/or other "street life" activities. Hard to set up a chair on Thomas Street without it tipping over!
This street already has a rather wide sidewalk. A better idea would be to use the road space you intend to take over with brick sidewalk as a bike lane. It looks like there would even be room to have a curb-enclosed bike lane – adding safety for cyclists and keeping parked cars out of the bike lane.
Traffic volume on Thomas approaching N. Main is barely greater than the volume on Angell approaching Benefit, which is now 2 lanes into an intersection where pedestrians also conflict often with turning traffic. There is no reason to expect the proposed diet to worsen the backup approaching N. Main. Volume is already limited upstream.
The bike lane is interesting but since it would only connect to rather nasty cycling at either end of Thomas Street, it should go there only if it were part of a wider plan to collect downtown bike traffic. Whenever I am cycling through that area I try to use College street – much mellower to, through and from.
I am tired of bike facilities being sited where they are easy to implement but essentially not necessary (like Blackstone Blvd) instead of where conditions are so daunting as to discourage people from choosing to ride to the places they actually need to go every day, like work.
Alger says:
If the north side is considered wide enough, what about reducing the opposite side of the street then? That asphalt goat track alongside the First Baptist is a nightmare.
I almost never drive this route, so that might explain why I am more in favor of any change that reduces speeds and traffic through here, and why I don't share the opinion of other commentators that these intersections work as already configured. The loss of the traffic island at the corner of Thomas with Benefit has added considerably more danger to my walk home, and as mentioned in the posting, rolling stops at the bottom of the hill have always made crossing there a roll of the dice. Perhaps a diet isn't the answer, but what would work better?
Bret Ancowitz says:
I have to think about this intersection somewhat… I've rarely negatively thought about it from a driving or pedestrian standpoint…
I definitely agree with Jef, though, that there is a lot of "racing" to beat the lights here, but I've always thought of this (and all of the nearby blocking of boxes that happen) as less outgrowths of bad intersection design than of incomprehensively bad coordination of traffic lights in that entire area. In fact, all of the light timing of East->West traffic flow from Wayland Square through to Francis Street is mind-bogglingly bad.
I think it's time to do a run through of bad intersections…
i'd think memorial blvd needs a road diet too
Jef Nickerson says:
So many comments!
Is Thomas Street most in need of a diet? Certainly not, but I walk down it almost every day and ride in cars down it almost everyday, so I think a lot about how much I hate it, so that's why I started with dieting here.
Ben, I have to seriously disagree about the sidewalks being wide enough, the sidewalk on the church side is almost a balancing beam. The sidewalk on the Art Club side may be of average width (though I think our average sidewalk width in Providence is not enough) but with street lights, fire hydrants, and the steps from buildings impeding the sidewalk, the effective width is vanishingly small. I'm giving up on the church street side and wanting to see a wider sidewalk on the Art Club side.
Several have mentioned a bike lane, and I agree, both Angell and Waterman should have bike lanes clear across to the Henderson Bridge. I think if bike lanes are installed on these streets, they should be on the left side. Parking should remain on the right and the bike lane should be on the left to keep bikes out of the door zone. Most of Waterman and Angell are effectively one lane wide, the extra lane width should be turned into a bike lane. Andrew points out that dumping a bike lane into the North Main / Steeple / Washington mixing bowl is not ideal. I agree but think we have to start somewhere, let's get the bikelanes built and deal with the mixing bowl mess as we can. Alternately, as Andrew suggests, the bikelanes could go to College Street via Prospect to avoid the whole mess at the bottom of the hill. But, I'm digressing on bike lanes.
The crux of what bothers me about Thomas Street is the right turn lane. While Marc and Corey are concerned about traffic backing up onto Benefit if the Right turn lane were removed, I don't think this would be as much of a problem as they fear, and I think acquiescing to the problem is making concessions to bad behavior. The reason the Washington / North Main / Steeple mixing bowl is such a mess, is no one has any respect for the box; and Marc speaks to one of the reasons why, signal timing. While the signal timing contributes to bad driver behavior, I think all our moms told us when we were young that two wrongs don't make a right.
What I have been told about signal timing is this: The lights were timed/synchronized, and whoever synchronized them apparently didn't read the box. They need to be resynchronized regularly or they drift out of synch. No one realized this. I've been told, for a while, that the lights are to be resynchronized and now they know that they need to keep on top of it. I don't know what the hold up is on getting it down though, one might assume $$$.
Waterman heading up the hill functions fine with only two lanes, I don't think the traffic flow will come to a halt if Thomas Street doesn't have a right turn lane. At most the right turn lane accommodates 3 cars. Traffic would still be allowed to turn right on red, they would simply have to do it from one of two lanes, not one of three.
My big problem with right on red is again, a matter of driver behavior (and while I'm harshing on drivers don't take that to mean that I absolve pedestrians of responsibility on the road). Not just here, but all over the city, drivers turn right on red without looking right. It's crazy, but people look left while turning right and never look right to ensure they aren't about to run over anything/one. I think part of the reason is that as a city we are small, and most of our drivers really aren't urban drivers. Make a right on red on Route 2 there's really no reason to look right, there's no pedestrians. Drivers maintain that mentality in the city.
The other issue that I want the diet to solve, is the width of space that pedestrians need to cross at the bottom of the hill. Alger points out that the traffic island was removed at the top of the hill, making the street much wider. Basically, if you get to the curb more than 2 seconds after the light turns red, the walk light is already flashing don't walk and you really have to think if you're going to be able to make it across all three lanes. The other issue is the walk light starts flashing way too soon. It goes solid don't walk way before the light actually turns green. I constantly stand there like a moron with the traffic stopped wondering if I still have time to cross. Reduce the width of the street, and increase the length of the walk signal and pedestrians feel less of a need to jaywalk. Pedestrian signalization is as much of a problem as traffic light synchronization really, and probably needs it's own post.
For the reasons mentioned against, the diet should probably have to wait until the traffic problems at the mixing bowl are addressed. Problems which include signal synchronization, and enforcement of box blocking. If the diet were to happen, I would advocate creating a temporary diet and assessing how it affects area traffic patterns before making it permanent.
Whew, that's a long comment!

Use a lane for the new streetcar system 😉
How do you solve a problem like Atwells?
The main problem of course is, people keep getting hit by cars on the Avenue. There are perhaps two ways to stop this, enforcement and infrastructure.

Gathering your friends and family to break bread this holiday season should be about gratitude and togetherness, not about blowing the budget on this potentially costly meal.
Here are some tips on how to host a fun and fancy holiday dinner without breaking the bank.
If you are a smart shopper, you are already consulting flyers and sales to construct your shopping list. The same principle should be applied to your holiday meal planning. Many holiday staples will be on sale, but keep an open mind. Maybe this is the year to swap out some of your side dishes to suit the sales. You may discover a new family favourite!
By the same token, make sure that you do an inventory of your pantry, fridge and freezer before you go shopping. You may very well have canned goods that will do the job nicely on hand.
Consider buying a frozen turkey as opposed to a fresh one. They are generally much less expensive and are still very moist. Make sure that you get the right size. Typically you go for about a pound per guest. If you are aiming for leftovers (and you should to get more mileage out of this meal) go for 1.5 to 2 pounds a person.
The most expensive part of your meal can be the alcohol. Have guests bring any libations that they wish to consume and you can provide water and pop. Much cheaper.
Do you belong to rewards programs that lets you cash in for groceries? This holiday is a great time to take advantage and cut the costs of hosting a large meal.
Wherever possible, make your dishes from scratch (and that includes dessert). It will take more time, so plan ahead, but it costs way less than buying prepared foods.
If you're a novice cook, enlist help from your family and friends. Better yet, delegate out some of the dishes for them to bring!

Face #20 is beautiful. The green looks as natural on her as a peach color on me. You are so talented in so many areas. I cannot imagine how fermented tomatoes would taste. Is this one of your inventions?
Thank you, Faye. :) And no, fermented tomatoes are not an invention of mine. It's a technique so old who knows who discovered it! It's quite delicious, though I have a taste for fermented foods of all kinds. I will say it improves with age, like wine!
The face is stunning!!! Love the color :) The tomatoes look yummy too. Today I picked a large basket of peppers that I will roast and freeze for stir fires this winter. My garden is almost done for the year...only a few acorn squash out there and a couple of sweet potatoes to dig up yet. Time to clean it all up and get it ready for winter. Still have the garlic to get planted ,but I usually don't do that until later Oct. I had a bumper crop this year...which was the only thing that did extremely well this year.
I love your face! The shape of her eyes is very pretty and her lips are wonderful too!
The way you have applied the colours and textures to the face is gorgeous, so rich, and I love her blue lips. I do like out-of-the-usual-run faces, they have such character.
Fermented tomato juice! Sounds interesting, and it's a really wow colour.
You are on a roll! I haven't managed to accomplish much except work... oh and I did write a chapter.
Love face # 20--I've let other "things get in the way of my own "face" journey, but will now get back to it--them. Love the colors.
I love tomatoes so all looks yummy! I'm sure they are worth the job!
wonderful face with a down cast gaze, as though she is admiring, longing for all the goodies you have been making.
Your young lady is looking downward at You deligious tomato juice. It is so red and temting.
This has been so busy month but very interesting and wonderful.
Amazing face. The eyes say so much!
I love tomatoes. I grow a lot of them but have never tried canning or preserving. You're making me want to give it a whirl!
:) Great painting!! I love tomatoes!!


News24xx.com - When traveling abroad, usually we will be welcomed by immigration officers to be asked about a number of things such as the purpose and duration of our visit. Well, in a number of European countries, these officers will be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) machines.
Countries that will implement the AI-based immigration system are Hungary, Latvia and Greece. In these countries, the immigration agency plans to implement a system called iBorderCtrl.This iBorderCtrl is basically an AI-based lie detector, which can detect lies from tourist who will come to their country, as quoted from Ubergizmo, Thursday, November 1st 2018.
This system will ask a number of things to tourists such as what items are in the suitcase, and a number of other questions. From that answer, they will analyze facial expressions, especially the micro expressions that appear.
The questions raised will also vary based on a number of things, such as gender, ethnicity, and words spoken. If the score obtained is sufficient, they will be given a QR code to be able to pass the checkpoint. However, if the score obtained is insufficient, they will be interviewed by a human officer, who will also analyze the report from the iBorderCtrl system.

New sponsor call for failing Gloucester Academy
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-45560384?intlink_from_url=&link_location=live-reporting-story

Image caption Gloucester Academy is in special measures after it was rated inadequate by Ofsted in May
A new sponsor should be found to run a struggling academy, a council's education chief has said.
Gloucester Academy, run by the White Horse Federation trust, was put in special measures by Ofsted in May.
County council schools boss Tim Browne said he has "no confidence" in the trust's improvement plan and urged the Department for Education (DfE) to find a new sponsor.
The trust said it wanted to "transform" education provision at the academy.
A spokesman said the school was redesigning its curriculum to offer each pupil a "tailored combination of academic and vocational skills development, so they can achieve their best".
However, Mr Browne said: "I do not have confidence in the White Horse Federation to bring about the improvements and have asked [the regional schools commissioner] to find a new sponsor."
He described the academy as an "important school in an important area of the city, with some of the most vulnerable children".
Gloucester Academy was formed in September 2010 by the merging of Bishop's College and Central Technology College.
'Rapid improvements needed'
In 2015 it was taken over by the White Horse Federation, which was tasked with lifting the school out of special measures.
But in May, the academy was put back into special measures, after Ofsted inspectors found weak teaching, poor safeguarding and attendance below the national average.
Labour councillor Kate Haigh, who represents the Matson area, said she was "not confident" with the trust and wanted the school back under local authority control.
But Gloucester MP Richard Graham said it can "easily take up to five years" to turn around schools with "real difficulties" and the trust has had only had three years.
A DfE spokesman said it was working with the trust to "ensure it delivers the rapid improvements necessary".
He added: "If improvement isn't made we will take appropriate action which could include rebrokerage of the academy."

Chuck Avery: Prohibition is the antithesis of education
Chuck Avery
Special to The Palladium-Item
The news last week included a report that the Indiana Legislature was considering a proposal to ban the teaching of "critical race theory" in the public schools.
I found the story both interesting and somewhat alarming. I also realized that I was unsure about the term "critical race theory." Still, my lack of information did not prevent me from forming an opinion on the matter. First, I don't like politicians interfering with the educational process, and, second, I am suspicious of people who want to outlaw discussions of anything. They remind me of the "thought police" in the novel "1984" or the "House Un-American Activities Committee," in the mid-20th century, one of our government's most shameful periods. I decided to bring the matter up at Thursday's coffee.
More from Chuck Avery:The gift of a gingko tree
Every Thursday morning, I meet with several of my former colleagues — nearly all retired teachers — for breakfast and coffee. The number showing up will vary, but generally it is between six and 10, and we cover nearly all fields of study. Our core group consists of a journalism teacher who also has had practical experience as a journalist; a music teacher who is also a musician; a former business teacher and administrator; a physics major who has worked as a building contractor; a social studies retiree who still keeps abreast of geopolitics and one non-educator who has traveled the globe as an agricultural consultant for Eli Lilly. I taught English; English teachers are known for their lack of practical knowledge. (As I once complained to a friend with an M.D., no one ever jumps up in a crowded area and yells, "Is there an English teacher in the house?")
Last week I put my question to the group. I got a brief explanation on the "critical race theory" from the former social studies teacher (it's an arcane legal concept argued among lawyers and sociologists, a non-issue for public schools). I can't say that I completely understood, but as a former educator myself, I know that often students are given just a hint of an explanation with an expectation that they will be motivated to find out more on their own. And I will.
In our culture, teachers are seen as authority figures, and, therefore, held to a higher standard than the average citizen. Like other authority figures — doctors, lawyers, preachers, politicians, etc. — they are subject to criticism if the public suspects them of not meeting expectations or straying from often unspecified standards. For example, one of my colleagues was stopped by an irate patron who complained, "I heard there are six pregnant girls in this year's senior class. What are you people teaching those kids?" Another was taken to task by a parent who didn't want his daughter reading that dirty book, "Catch Her in the Rye." (He meant the frequently banned "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger)
A few politicians, responding to the unsubstantiated fears of their constituents, want to be seen as "riding to the rescue" by first exacerbating the controversy, then proposing legislation forbidding educators from an activity (i.e., teaching critical race theory) that isn't happening and isn't likely to happen. On the other hand, any academic discussion should be legitimate, even encouraged. I wonder how legislators would react if they were not permitted to discuss a subject that had caught the public's interest. I hope properly outraged. They and their constituents should realize that discussion is not advocacy. Prohibiting or restricting the mention of certain subject matter is the opposite of education. It smacks of a "taboo" — a form of superstition still common in remote primitive cultures and the state of Texas.

Dealing with paths is always a bit annoying, you will concede. Fortunately, it is extremely easy with Sass to have a beautiful API to manage assets and to keep the code simple to maintain. The only thing we need is to store the base asset path in a variable, and a couple of functions to build our API.

Veteran r&b singer Vivian Green has just released the visual for her recent single "Vibes". The song is the second single from her 2017 album "VGVI", and further illustrates her progression.

The singer continues to create magic alongside producer Kwame, which is fully reflected in each new release.


Official version: Leaders of the euro-area countries announced on 21 July a raft of measures designed to alleviate the Greek debt crisis and ensure the financial stability of the euro area as a whole.
The European Union's executive arm is keeping pressure on Germany and others to show flexibility in support for Ireland and Greece, ahead of crucial negotiations on the euro zone's future in coming days.
With leaders of the 17 nations that use the euro set to meet in Brussels next Friday to hammer out the basis of a "comprehensive package" of reform measures, Olli Rehn, the European Union Commissioner for Monetary and Economic Affairs, said Ireland and Greece must not be financially overburdened.
"I see a danger that we might overburden both countries with overly strict credit conditions," Mr. Rehn told Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper, distributed ahead of publication Monday.
He added that Greece's timeline to repay aid loans should be extended to seven years from 3½, the paper said.
Mr. Rehn has consistently called for the EU to consider easing the terms of the loans to Greece and Ireland, reiterating last week that the near-6% interest rates the Irish government must pay on its €67.5 billion ($94.4 billion) package should be debated.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Rehn had no immediate comment on the commissioner's remarks.
THE EUROGROUP welcomes the significant efforts of Ireland to deal with the challenges it faces in the budgetary, competitiveness and financial sector areas. The Eurogroup welcomes in particular the announcement by the Irish authorities that their four-year budgetary strategy will be frontloaded by €6 billion in 2011 on a total consolidation effort of €15 billion. We have full confidence that the four-year strategy to be announced by the end of the month will be thorough and detailed and will firmly anchor the 2014 target date for the correction of the excessive deficit. This strategy will also ensure that the public debt ratio will be put on a firm downward path.

Home › Historic Preservation › MissPres News Roundup 5-3-2016
By ELMalvaney on May 3, 2016 • ( 1 )
As the Magnolia State blooms, what's been going on in the historic preservation world this last week?
Eastland Federal Courthouse (1933, Hull & Malvaney, archts.)
Several articles have highlighted the Legislature's last-minute re-authorization (seems like the Leg did a lot of last-minute stuff this year) of the historic preservation tax credit. As you may recall, the new legislation establishes some new guidelines for the credit, including a $12 million annual cap and, very unfortunately, the elimination of "single-family residences" from eligibility. The Mississippi Business Journal was the first out of the gates, following up on its very helpful story back in March with "Restocked historic tax credits give new life to restoration projects." Listing projects that have stalled because of the last year of limbo, including the old Eastland federal building in Jackson and Veterans' Hospital in Gulfport, the article by Ted Carter also notes that historic preservation incentives return money to the state and local economy.
The state's $60 million credits generated $269 million in building rehab expenditures since their inception in 2006 and a total economic output of $432.5 million, according to an economic impact report prepared by Mississippi State University's Stennis Institute of Government and Community Development.
The article goes on to delve into the drawbacks of only focusing on commercial projects:
[Lolly] Barnes, the Heritage Trust chief, said the decision to keep non-revenue producing residential restorations from eligibility diminishes an holistic approach to preserving Mississippi's past. "It's very disappointing because we need to look at our historic communities as a whole," she said. "That was the one incentive we had to offer people who buy and take on these historic homes."
[Hayes] Dent said he expects the exclusion of single-family dwellings from the historic tax credits will have particular impacts in such historic cities as Vicksburg and Natchez.
Add Tupelo to that list, along with practically every other town of any size in the state, according to the Daily Journal article, "Tax credit change could impact Mill Village." One of the few relatively intact company-built neighborhoods in the state, Tupelo's Mill Village was listed on the National Register in 1992 and consists of simple shotgun houses and bungalows constructed for workers at Tupelo Cotton Mills beginning in the early 20th century. According to the article by Caleb Bedillion,
"Politicians talk about trying to help out the little guy, but this does nothing for the little guy," said Doyce Deas, chair of the Tupelo Historic District Commission.
In the original 2006 version of the credit program, rehabilitation of single-family homes could qualify for credits. SB 2922 removed the eligibility of those single-family residences.
Deas said this hurts preservation efforts throughout the state.
"Most of the people who try to do projects like this are just normal folks that want to preserve a property, and they need all the help they can get," she said.
Many of the commercial buildings seen on the left side of this old postcard will be renovated in the Capitol Art Lofts project.
One of the renovation projects that's moving again is the Capitol Art Lofts in downtown Jackson, which will renovate many of the low-rise, early twentieth century commercial buildings across from the King Edward Hotel on West Capitol Street. The same developer that renewed the King Ed, HRI Properties of New Orleans, will "transform" seven of the buildings, many of which have been vacant for several years.
Capitol Art Lofts calls for apartments geared to be affordable for creative persons, ranging from artists to those working in the healing arts of medicine.
Architectural historians from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History spent last Tuesday photographing the interior of the Threefoot Building, the Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Meridian. This is yet another good indication that the building may soon indeed come back to life, this time as a hotel.
According to the Meridian Star article "A Closer Look" by Billy Graham:
Jennifer Baughn, chief architectural historian with MDAH, said the agency was on site to document the building's interior, with an emphasis on its architectural features.
"We document buildings all over the state," she said. "Usually, we're looking at the outside of the buildings, but for a building like this, the inside is so important. We'll be reviewing the plans that come through for this building, so that will help us as we look at changes that will have to occur for it to be put back into use. It will also be a good archival document for the future."
Get a view inside the Threefoot for yourself, courtesy of this WTOK report by Amicia Ramsey. See the full video here. According to the reports, these photos will soon be available on the MDAH Historic Resources Database, so we can all see them–great!
On a sadder note, the Associated Press headline "Heavy rains cause slide at Winterville Mounds park" has bad news about a large Indian mound, Mound A, at Winterville Mounds Archaeological Park north of Greenville, owned and operated by MDAH. One of twelve mounds and two plazas at the prehistoric ceremonial site,
A section about 24 feet wide, 18 feet deep and 100 feet long sloughed off in one sheet from the northwest side of Mound A. It slid to the base of the 55-foot-high earthwork.
"These mounds were originally constructed in stages with layers of dirt capped by thinner layers of clay," said Department of Archives and History chief archaeologist Pam Lieb. "This slide was caused when rainwater seeped down from the top, saturating this large chunk of the mound and making it heavy enough to slip away at one of those seams of clay."
According to the MDAH web page about the park:
At 55 feet, Mound A is among the ten tallest in the United States, roughly the same height as a five story building. Until modern construction techniques were developed, it was the highest point between Emerald Mound in Natchez and the great mounds at Cahokia, Illinois. From its top you can see the Mississippi River to the west. The river's course has shifted over the centuries but it was only a mile away when the mounds were constructed.
And . . . last but not least, remember that May is officially Historic Preservation Month in the United States and be on the lookout for special events in your area. As usual, Biloxi has a full slate of events planned (even spilling into June) and has done a great job of getting the word out via the SunHerald. We try to keep up on our MissPres calendar, which appears in the right sidebar, and more fully on Google, but if you know of an event we're missing let us know.

Any reason given for the exclusion of single family houses? It's such a specific little cut.


We have done many existing homes. Many of them have been found to have little, to no insulation in their walls. We have developed a process that allows us to make your home warm and still look as beautiful on the outside, as it did before we came. Many other contractors drill holes through the siding and place wooden plugs in them. When they have finished, your home looks like a wood pecker has come through and pecked your home. We take extensive care when doing existing homes. We will carefully remove one of the sidings on your house whether it be vinyl, aluminum, or steel. Then the holes are drilled underneath so that you will not see them when the project is completed. The only thing that has changed to your home when we leave is that it is now insulated and warmer inside.
We can install either dry or blown Cellulose insulation, or dry blown fiberglass insulation, in new or existing homes.
We can install either Fiberglass batts or wet blown cellulose insulation, in new homes.


I would like to share some things with the group that the Lord has allowed me to see in the word of God. The Lord brought my soul to life on May 1st 1993 when He baptized me with the Holy Ghost. But even though I was a new creature in Christ on that day, I did not immediately fall in love with His word. I went to church, had good fellowship, gave in the offering, but there was still not a hunger for His word like there should have been. I'll never forget the message that my pastor gave one evening when he said that if you don't have a hunger for God's word, then you need to pray to God to stir that desire up in your heart. He went on to say that when you are born again, you are born of God's Spirit. If you are born of God's Spirit, then the Spirit within you should bring to life a desire for God's word. I realized that night that I did not have that desire like I should have. I went home and fell on my knees before God and asked Him to forgive me. I asked Him to give me a burning desire for His word. I picked up my Bible from that day till this and I have fallen in love with His word.
As I have read my Bible over the years, I began to notice that God is an awesome God. He hides little nuggets in His word that excite the inner man and that give people encouragement to keep digging. Here are some things that I have discovered over the years that have strengthened my faith in God's word. You can call these things coincedences if you want to, but I like to call them "God's Signatures".
1. Jesus Christ was 33 years of age when they took him up on a hill and crucified Him. In the book of Numbers the 33rd chapter is the retelling of the 42 times that Israel camped from Egypt to the crossing of Jordan. The 33rd time that they camped, Aaron the high priest went up into a mountain, they stripped him of his garments and He died. Aaron is a type of Christ(John 19:23<->Ex. 39:22-23).
2. In John 19:36&37, ther are two prophecies fulfilled from the Old Testament. John 19:36 comes from Exodus 12:46.
Ex. 12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
John 19:37 comes from Zech. 12:10.
Zechariah is the 36th book after Exodus. Both prophecies are in the 12th chapter of each book. If you subtract 10(Zech 12:10) from 46(Ex. 12:46) you come up with 36. Six is the number of man. 6 x 6 is 36. The prophecy of Jesus in Zechariah is the last prophecy that was fulfilled as far as Jesus being the Son of man.
3. Knowing that six is the number of man, notice the following about the New Testament. There are 6 chapters in the New Testament that contain 66 verses or more. They are Matt. 26:66;Matt. 27:66;Mark 14:66;Luke 1:66;Luke 22:66 and John 6:66. Notice that the 6th time is the 6th chapter of John, the 66th verse. It reads as follows.
4. The 6th book in the New Testament is the book of Romans. The 6th chapter of Romans, the 6th verse reads as follows.
Rom. 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
5. There are 66 books in the Bible. If you count the almonds,knops and flowers on the branches of the candlestick in the Tabernacle, you come up wtih the number 66.
6. In the 3rd chapter of Luke, if you count the generations from Noah to Christ it is 66 generations.
7. The word "hour" occurs only 5 times in the Old Testament. The 5th occurence is in the 5th book of the Prophets(Daniel), the 5th chapter, 5th verse. It reads as follows.
Dan. 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
There are 5 fingers on a man's hand.
8. The word "sweat" occurs only 3 times in the entire Bible. The 1st occurence has to do with the curse put on the 1st man Adam(Gen. 3:19). The 2nd has to do with the priesthood that will offciate in the temple that Ezekiel saw in his vision(Ez. 44:18). The 3rd occurence has to do with the last man Adam as he died out to His will(Luke 22:44).
9. The number 4 denotes time or the end of a cycle. There are 4 watches in the night. There are 4 seasons. The sun and the moon were created on the 4th day and they were created for times and seasons. Knowing this, notice what the 4th letter of Paul the 4th chapter, 4th verse says.
10. The word abomination is used quite extensivley in the Old Testament. But in the New Testament, it is only used 6 times. Two times referring to the Abomination of Desolation(Matt. 24:15;Mark 13:14). Two times in Rev. 17 describing the Great %#&@$!(Rev. 17:4&5). Once describing one of the things that will prohibit you from entering in to the Heavenly Jerusalem(Rev. 21:27). These are five of the six occurences. They are descriptions of something or have to do with prophecy. The only place in the New Testament where Jesus used the word "abomination" in His teachings to describe something that was detestable to God is in Luke the 16th chapter. It reads like this.
11. We are all familiar John 3:16. But have you ever noticed the similarity of John 3:16 and 1 John 3:16?
12. There are those that would debate with you about whether or not Paul wrote the book of Hebrews. After all, he never put his name at the beginning of the letter as he did with his other letters. Whether or not, Paul wrote the book of Hebrews I do not know for sure. But notice something very peculiar about the book of Romans and the book of Hebrews. In the book of Romans, the word "better" is used only one time(Rom. 3:9). Thirteen books later, in the book of Hebrews, the word "better" is used thirteen times.
13. Along this same line of thought, the 12th chapter of Romans the 1st and 2nd verse says this.
The 12th chapter of Hebrews, the last two verses says this.
lol ummm i wouldnt look too into these "peculiarities" given the fact that the original inspired scriptures had no chapter or verse divisions and too many people get carried away trying to find pieces to the puzzle that aren't there.
Definitely some wonderful insights. If no one receives them with the excitement in which you discovered them, don't be alarmed. I think these things seem a little bit like pulling at straws. Making puzzle pieces fit together than don't actually fit together. If you can cram a circle into a square and call it a cylinder, and that "cylinder" increases your faith, does that make it a bad thing? Easter Eggs in the bible are a lot of fun to find, but for the regular type of person, these things have a kind of uncertain value since it takes so much mental effort to make it into something it may or may not be.
So what's the point of your presentation of Numerology?
Are you a Bible-Codes guy?
Wow, my fascination is how did you find the time to come up with this. I barely have time to tie my shoes, life is so busy.
Personally I think it means nothing at all. I think you are digging to deep into it.
I am not a "bible codes" guy.:D However, I do believe in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Believe it or not, I did not set out to dig these things out, they just began to be revealed to me as I read my Bible through. I realize that some of you may think this is much ado about nothing, but for those may think otherwise, I offer this post for the edification of the members of the Body of Christ. For me personally, it has strengthened my faith in the divine ispiration of God's Holy Word, even through the translation process and the addition of chapters and verses. I hope this post blesses others.
That's a good point. I wonder how much numerology played into the decisions of Nathan/Stephanus when they were deciding how to divide up the verses?
Neither are all other members here.
However, I do believe in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
As do all other members here.
Believe it or not, I did not set out to dig these things out, they just began to be revealed to me as I read my Bible through.
Things being revealed, verses odd-coincidences being noticed?
How are we to discern between the two?
Look, I could tell you that God has revealed to me from His holy inspired word, that since the 6th verse of the first three chapters of Matthew has a proper name within it that starts with "J" (Jesse, Judah, and Jordan), that this is God telling us that the AntiChrist (666) will be named Jesse Judah Jordan, or have three "J"-letter first names.
Who is to say that predictive numerical system is or isn't from God? Why is it's possibility any less feasible than your system?
I sure don't want to wear that mantle, however, in the case that my numerical system is invalid, and it is just an odd numerical coincidence.
Does it seem odd to you that the 'revelations' you were finding are things unique to you, that other Christians throughout the NT era, (and with the OT scriptures) even prior to that, have never wrote about, taught, or presented?
I realize that some of you may think this is much ado about nothing, but for those may think otherwise, I offer this post for the edification of the members of the Body of Christ.
But it really doesn't matter, if it is truth, whether some believe it or some don't. In other words, if it really is truth, and it really is truth from God, then it will be edifying to all members of the Body of Christ, right?
But if it ends up not being truth, but rather just an odd coincidence of numbers based on an interesting formula; then should it be passed along to members of the Body of Christ as if it is truth, knowing that if it is false, it would cause others to stumble?
For me personally, it has strengthened my faith in the divine ispiration of God's Holy Word, even through the translation process and the addition of chapters and verses. I hope this post blesses others.
How could manipulation of chapter and verse numbers strengthen moreso than the actual Words of God themselves, that follow the numbers?
Look, I am not trying to give you a overly hard time here, just trying to step back from this, and look at it from a practical way. For this type of 'revelation' to be true and from God, then it means that God, years and years, sometimes centuries after the scriptures themselves were written; planned for a secret numerical code to be embedded within the labeling of the verses and chapters which wouldn't occur until long after the OT and NT both were completed; and that this secret code was then hidden for thousands of years, until you began to find these revelations.
That's almost tantamount to saying that you're on a similar level of reception of revelations from God via this 'system' as the OT prophets and the NT apostles were in their reception from God of the written text itself.
Also, having a numerical system like this then also leads to all kinds of unverifable subjective disagreements. Who's to say that the next guy's system of manipulating the numbers to be revelations from God isn't true also; and what if yours and his disagree...then who really is speaking the truth from God? What if 5 people have different numerical systems? What if 10 or 100 or 1000?
See where it goes? But if you avoid the numerical systems; and you stick with solely the written word; then all of the members of the Body of Christ are on the same receptive playing field; and we then also leave the reception of Divine Revelations from God to the OT Prophets and the NT Apostles....of which we can all agree where inspired handlers of direct revelation from God.
Like I said before, I am not someone who gets caught up in "bible codes". These instances that I have posted are not codes neither are they a numerical system. Like it or not, numbers do have a significant meaning in scripture. The number 7 is God's number of completeness or perfection. The number 6 is the number of man. These numerical principles were in effect in the Old Covenant as well as in the New, long before chapter and verse divisions came along or before the first book of the Bible was ever written. Lighten up brother. You say that you're not trying to be overly hard, but really you are picking to pieces every little statement I make. Is all this really necessary?
Let me set something straight with you. I am not some special person who gets direct revelations from God that nobody gets. There have been numerous books (no pun intended:rofl:) on numbers in scripture. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and others have significant meaning in the Bible. Some of these things I learned sitting in church. The example of the 33rd time that Israel camped stems from what I learned about the 42 times that Israel camped from the time they left Egypt to the time that they crossed over Jordan. There really are 66 counts of flower and fruit on the candlestick in the tabernacle. Here's something that I didn't include in my post. If you take the center candlestick and one side it adds up to 39. If you take the other side, it totals 27. Do you really believe that this is just a coincedence. I, for one, do not.
Thanks for not letting bro David upset you.
Maybe he had a bad day.
Some interesting points you found there. Nothing to dismiss lightly as if its nothing at all.


A grand piano forms a centerpiece to the room while a wooden headboard depicting a young Victorian lady deshabillé hangs behind a writing table, lending this corner a private, conspiratorial air. He's just been granted a marriage licence for the building, and recently chanced upon the French tradition of wedding domes – mini collections under a glass cloche, containing souvenirs and mementos.
Mark Hinchcliffe bought the chapel in 2013 after it had fallen into disuse, and spent two years renovating it. The vast church organ had already been dismantled and sold for £6,000 on eBay, finding a new home in a small village in Germany. Hinchliffe removed the pews and upcycled them to construct the kitchen cabinets.
Many elements of the original building remain, including the pulpit and the 40ft-high atrium, now the grandest of living rooms. Fascinated by these little microcosms, he has created his own – which you could see as a metaphor for the chapel itself. "It's about reinventing the Victorian fascination of discovering the world; the curiosity in random things I've collected are all in that vein," he explains. Now that the renovations are finished, people are starting to notice his flair for interiors, including a wine baron in northern Italy with whom he has an exciting new design project in the pipeline. "It's only in the last year or two," he tells me, "that I've realized that I am actually good at this.
"The Chapel is open for weddings, events and B&B guests.

Q: Join for async function in python I have some async functions. Look at the sample below:
async def read_database():
    # some code

async def read_web():
    # some code

db_data = read_database()
web_data = read_web()

# do some stuff

# Now here I want to wait for db_data and web_data if the functions did not yet complete.

If I used threading or multiprocessing libraries I would just use join. I don't want to use await, because that will not let me do some other stuff while the functions are running. How can I wait for these functions?

A Pinjarra man was fined $1000 in court on Tuesday, after his bull arab, 'Hutch', attacked a woman and her kelpie. Colin Watene Stephens, 57, who did not appear in the Mandurah Magistrates Court, had entered an endorsed plea of guilty to not having Hutch on a lead and to the dog attack. Shire of Murray representative Ron Porter told the court victim Amanda Marie Harvey had her dog, 'Bender', on a lead in the Murray Districts Hospital grounds, on the morning of August 11, 2018. Read More: Mr Porter said Hutch ran up to Bender and bit him on the back, dragging him over a log. Ms Harvey attempted to shield her dog and was bitten on her right arm and wrist. She started to hit Hutch with a stick and lost her grip on Bender's lead. Mr Porter said Stephens ran over to the dogs and yelled at Hutch, before picking up a stick to hit him. Both dogs ran off in opposite directions. Ms Harvey found Bender 40 minutes later on a nearby street and took him to Pinjarra Veterinary Hospital where he had multiple surgeries. Ms Harvey was treated for superficial wounds at Murray District Hospital before being transferred to Peel Health Campus. Mr Porter said the owners have since surrendered Hutch to a kennel, where his behaviour will be monitored to assess his suitability for re-homing. Magistrate Anne Longden said the court had received a letter from the owner who "feels terrible" about the attack, and was willing to pay all related costs. Mr Porter told the court the vet bills exceeded $2000, but it was hard to claim costs for the victim because she had set up a Gofund Me page, and he had not been given the cost difference owing, if any. Stephens was fined $1000 and $205.30 costs.

A special place and huge pride in wearing the shirt - Rhodes admits he has caught the Norwich City bug

Jordan Rhodes has caught the Norwich City bug - although he's not yet thinking about what happens beyond his season loan from Sheffield Wednesday.
The 28-year-old striker's brace against Aston Villa earned a second Canaries comeback win in the space of four days.
They were the on-loan Sheffield Wednesday forward's first Championship strikes since the middle of August, although his Carabao Cup hat-trick at Wycombe means Rhodes is close to averaging a goal every other game for his current club – one he is fully embracing.
"It's a special place and I'm really enjoying every minute of it," said Rhodes. "It has a real community feel about it, it's a close-knit relationship between the players, staff and everyone working for Norwich City, and everyone supporting it. There's a real rapport between the two.
"I can't really remember too many times in my recent clubs, that relationship being as strong. Towards the end there, the fans enjoying every minute, cheering us over the line and giving them something to cheer about… It's fantastic and as players, that's what it's all about, what you strive for in your career – to play in stadiums like this and in front of fans like this."
It took the Canaries and Rhodes himself a lot of effort and negotiating to make his season loan at Carrow Road viable – especially financially.
It remains to be seen whether that would make any deal beyond the summer a possibility, but Rhodes is just absorbing the here and now.
"I'm just really enjoying playing for Norwich City," he added. "I really enjoy living in the area, playing for the club and it fills me with a sense of pride putting on that shirt, it really does.
"So who knows what the future may bring. I'm just trying to work as hard as I can in the games I play in for Norwich City and who knows what comes next. That's all I can say so far."
It's now eight wins in 11 games across all competitions for City and after beating two fancied sides in Villa and Nottingham Forest, Rhodes agreed there should be nothing to fear for Daniel Farke's side over the rest of the campaign.
"The Championship and the teams' results in the past have proven that on any given day, anyone can give anyone a game," he added.
"With that in mind everyone believes that if we turn up and play the way we know we can and work as hard as we can, then there's no given reason why we can't win games or draw games, whatever happens to be.
"Who knows what will happen over the course of the season but if we play the way we can, it will stand us in good stead."

Rhodes has stepped up since Teemu Pukki's injury while on Finland duty – but he will have to step aside on Saturday week, as Rhodes is not permitted to face his parent club at Hillsborough.

MHHS dealing with low numbers
Bombers rebuilding during fall camp
MHHS dealing with low numbers Bombers rebuilding during fall camp Check out this story on baxterbulletin.com: http://www.baxterbulletin.com/story/sports/2014/08/11/bombers-dealing-low-numbers/13937263/

The Mountain Home Bomber football team donned full pads Monday afternoon and held its first full-contact practice of fall camp.
"The kids got to actually tackle and block, full bore," said first-year head coach David Joyce. "Just like every coach in the state, the first time you put on pads, you're a little sloppy. We've got to work on getting our pad levels down, and blocking and tackling a little bit better.
"The good thing is we have a few weeks before we play our first game and have plenty of time to fix a lot of that sloppy play," he added.
Mountain Home has dropped below 40 players in fall camp after attrition set in during the first week as players attempted to adjust to the physical style of football employed by Joyce. Several chose to depart the program.
"Our numbers are a little low, but when you've lost 20 games in a row, you don't expect to have high numbers. That's okay, only 11 get to play," said Joyce. "We'll take care of our guys, we push them pretty hard. Part of the reason our numbers are low is because we've pushed them, almost to their breaking point.
"It takes a lot of character to endure what we've put them through so far. The kids that are left are pretty tough, and you usually don't lose them," he added. "Our numbers won't be down for long. Next year, we have a huge freshman class. We'll bounce back with our numbers next year."
Mountain Home's coaching staff — which features four other new coaches in addition to Joyce, as Jim Tejcek is the only returning member from last year — is in full rebuilding mode. The program features new expectations of players, on and off the field.
"You've got to cut out some of the gray area, you have to set a standard early, and you can't take a shortcut," said Joyce of the program. "At both places before, I've had winnable games, but I had to suspend a player because he broke team rules. We suspended that player and lost those games.
"When I say you can't compromise when you set a standard, that's what I mean. You're better for it in the long run because the kids learn how to compete, and how to win. They learn how to do things the right way. It's just part of it, Rome wasn't built in a day.
"When you've lost 20 games in a row, you've got to grind, and you've got to build up from the bottom to the top," he concluded. "You've got to get the kid to trust you, and you get them to trust you by working hard every single day and doing everything you can to be better every single day."
Mountain Home — along with schools across the state — is dealing with the ramifications of the passage of Proposal 3 at least week's Arkansas Activities Association Governing Body meeting. The proposal limits teams to just three full-pad practices per week.
Games go toward that count, meaning a player who plays in the junior varsity and varsity game, can only practice once a week with full contact.
"It's going to affect our junior varsity kids and our entire program. I think the rule is counter intuitive, to be honest with you," said Joyce. "The sport is what it is. You can't change what the sport is. If you're going to change how you practice a sport, then you should change how it's played on a Friday night.
"We'll see how it goes across the state. A lot of times high school associations will borrow rules from levels that are above them — like the NCAA or NFL — and you're not talking about the same game," he added. "You have a 180-pound linebacker in high school, where you have 250-pound guys in college that run a lot faster. It's not the same game. A lot of times, rules are adopted with the thought of betterment of the game, but sometimes they're counter intuitive."
This week Mountain Home will continue working on fundamentals and preparing for its preseason scrimmage against Highland on Aug. 25 and the season opener at Harrison on Sept. 5.
"We do a little bit of both every day," said Joyce of fundamentals and game preparation. "Today, we worked on Highland. (Tuesday) will be Harrison. With me being new to the schedule, we don't really know how teams are going to prepare for us.
"When I say we're preparing for Highland or Harrison, that's pretty generic," he said. "We're going with as many fronts and looks as we can throw at the kids on a daily basis, so that however Highland or Harrison comes out, our kids will hopefully be ready."
