Good morning. Welcome to the 7AM NW Regional/International Net on KBARA repeaters. This is net control station _______, my name is _______, and I am located in ________.
This is an open net, and all Amateurs are welcome to join in. This net or variations of it meet every morning at 7AM Pacific Time on the Kamiak Butte Amateur Repeater System. We can also be heard on repeaters connected to EchoLink, and IRLP reflector 9075.
If at any time during the net, any station has emergency traffic,don't hesitate to break in. Please allow a few seconds of pause between transmissions to give time for emergency traffic. Also, allow a second or two after keying your transceiver before speaking - this will allow the repeater system time to link-up.
This is ________, and we will begin the check-ins with those stations that are mobile, portable or wish to be quickly in and out.
More information can be found on our Website at www.kbara.org. �You may also pay membership dues or contribute to the repeater fund using PayPal from our web site.
Good morning and thank you for checking into the 7AM NW Regional/International Net. This is net control station _________ closing the net at _________hrs.


Thanks a bunch, @lukeshu. This is a critical package to make sure no bugs creep in! Cheers!!!
I have adopted this, and updated it to 0.4.6.git20171108.
I am also the maintainer of this package in the Parabola distro.
Any ways to update this? I need it for study and personal reasons. Please orphan it if you don't want to continue maintaining it. I'm going to try maintaining it, but all help is welcome and I'll add other co-maintainers (I don't believe in the maintainership concept).
How come this is 0.4.4.r0.be4df19-1, while a build results in 0.4.3.r75.g6b62b5b-1 ?
Please don't flag git packages as out of date unless they're no longer able to build the current git version; this still works perfectly fine.
The dependency `ghc` demands version `<5.0`, but the most recent version is `7.8.3-2`.
This currently requires a newer version of haskell-quickcheck than is in community.


WASHINGTON, DC – Today, America's oil and natural gas producers applauded the U.S. House of Representatives for passing two energy bills that not only protect successful state regulatory programs and the environment, but also ensure the nation's energy sector continues its historic growth.
H.R. 2728, the Protecting States' Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act, was approved to address a new Interior Department proposed rule that would increase federal regulations for oil and natural gas well construction and hydraulic fracturing on federal lands. This rule would undercut states' authority to regulate energy production, a realm in which they have been successful for decades.
"This legislation, H.R. 2728, safeguards natural gas and oil development on federal lands by empowering states to regulate energy development, as they have been doing safely and responsibly. The long history of effective state regulation demonstrates that a one-size-fits-all federal requirement is unnecessary and will not increase environmental protection," said Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) President and CEO Barry Russell.
IPAA represents more than 10,000 American oil and natural gas companies that drill 95 percent of the nation's wells.
In official comments on the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule, IPAA and the Western Energy Alliance said that the Interior Department's economic analysis estimates costs of $3,138-5,011 per well for a cumulative cost to industry of $12-20 million. However, a Western Energy Alliance / IPAA study released in July found BLM's analysis to omit several significant categories of cost to the industry. In reality, the rule would cost $96,913 per well for a cumulative annual cost of $345 million.
IPAA also commended passage of H.R. 2850, the EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Improvement Act, which holds the EPA's hydraulic fracturing study, currently in progress, to basic scientific principles and requires EPA to undergo an objective and rigorous third party review process.
Please click here to see the IPAA / Western Energy Alliance economic analysis on the impacts of the BLM's hydraulic fracturing rule.
Please click here to read IPAA's comments on the rule.
From IPAA comments: States are continuously updating their regulations. Of the approved permit applications to drill on federal lands, 98 percent were in seven states. Six of those seven states have updated their regulations, and the seventh (California) issued a regulation addressing operations standards and fluid disclosure in December 2012.

sending communications that are threatening or that may constitute stalking under Caltech's policies regarding Violence Prevention and Sex- and Gender-Based Misconduct policies; or
sending communications that attempt to hide the identity of the sender or represent the sender as someone else.
Caltech will apply this policy consistent with applicable requirements under the laws and regulations governing Caltech's operations. This policy will not be construed or applied in a manner that improperly interferes with employees' rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
Caltech IT resources are Caltech property or licensed by Caltech for Caltech's use. Users of Caltech IT resources should not have an expectation of privacy with respect to their use of these resources or any of the data, files, or other records generated by, stored, or maintained on them.
For cybersecurity and other lawful purposes, Caltech may collect, store, and analyze information on both of the following: (1) any and all use of Caltech's electronic information resources and (2) any data or communications transmitted to or from, received or printed from, or created, stored, accessed, or recorded on Caltech's electronic information resources. This is true regardless of the labeling of the data, the use of encryption, the deletion of the data or communications, or any other factor.
Password capabilities and other authentication measures are provided to users in order to safeguard electronic messages, data, files, and other records (including computer files and records, electronic mail, and voicemail) from unauthorized use. These safeguards are not intended to provide confidentiality from Caltech monitoring with respect to personal messages or files stored on electronic information resources owned and managed by Caltech.
While Caltech does not routinely examine the content of electronic mail messages or otherwise monitor individual usage, it does routinely monitor the normal operation of computing and networking resources, including network activity patterns, system logs, general and individual usage patterns, and other indicia necessary to ensure the integrity and stability of its electronic information resources.
Caltech will investigate suspected abuse, misuse, or compromise of its resources, systems, and services. Any user found to have violated this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including loss of administrative rights or network/system access and termination of employment or admission to the Caltech community.
Caltech retains the right to inspect, review, or retain the content of electronic messages or other data, files, or records generated, stored, or maintained on Caltech IT resources at any time without prior notification. Any such action will be taken for reasons Caltech, within its discretion, deems to
be legitimate. These legitimate reasons may include, but are not limited to, responding to lawful
subpoenas or court orders; investigating misconduct (including research misconduct); determining compliance with Caltech policies and the law; and locating electronic messages, data, files, or other records related to these purposes. Users must therefore understand that any electronic messages, data, files, and other records generated by, stored, or maintained on Caltech IT resources may be electronically accessed, reconstructed, or retrieved by Caltech even after they have been deleted.
Caltech personnel who wish to access the content of electronic mail, data, files, or other records generated, stored, or maintained by any user must request authorization as follows: (1) from the provost for any situations that require access to electronic material associated with faculty and other academic personnel; (2) from the vice president for administration and chief financial officer for staff and postdoctoral scholars at campus or the JPL director for human resources for employees and postdoctoral scholars at JPL; (3) from the vice president for student affairs for students; or (4) from the general counsel for the purposes of complying with legal processes and requirements or to preserve user electronic information for possible subsequent access in accordance with this policy. In all cases, the Office of the General Counsel should be consulted prior to deciding on whether to grant access. In the case of a time-critical matter, if the authorizing official is unavailable for a timely response, the general counsel may authorize access. Users of Caltech IT resources are advised that some authorizations already have been granted. For example, the Caltech information security team has certain authority to monitor Caltech IT resources for cybersecurity purposes.
In conclusion, the use of Caltech electronic information resources is a privilege, not a right, and Caltech may revoke this privilege or decline to extend this privilege at any time.
Suspected illegal acts involving Caltech electronic information resources may be reported to governmental authorities and may result in prosecution by those authorities. Any questions concerning the appropriate use of any of Caltech's electronic information resources or relevant Caltech policies should be directed to the provost, the general counsel, the chief information officer, the associate vice president for human resources, the JPL director for human resources, the dean of undergraduate students, or the dean of graduate studies.
Members of the Caltech community suspecting an IT security incident should report the incident via email (security@caltech.edu) or, at JPL, by calling the JPL Helpdesk (4-HELP) or via email (abuse@jpl.nasa.gov).

My first session today was Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Contemporary Statistical Applications with a heap of interesting directions in MCMC research! Now, without any possible bias (!), I would definitely nominate Murray Pollock (incidentally from Warwick) as the winner for best slides, funniest presentation, and most enjoyable accent! More seriously, the scalable Langevin algorithm he developed with Paul Fearnhead, Adam Johansen, and Gareth Roberts, is quite impressive in avoiding computing costly likelihoods. With of course caveats on which targets it applies to. Murali Haran showed a new proposal to handle high dimension random effect models by a projection trick that reduces the dimension. Natesh Pillai introduced us (or at least me!) to a spectral clustering that allowed for an automated partition of the target space, itself the starting point to his parallel MCMC algorithm. Quite exciting, even though I do not perceive partitions as an ideal solution to this problem. The final talk in the session was Galin Jones' presentation of consistency results and conditions for multivariate quantities which is a surprisingly unexplored domain. MCMC is still alive and running!
The second MCMC session of the morning, Monte Carlo Methods Facing New Challenges in Statistics and Science, was equally diverse, with Lynn Kuo's talk on the HAWK approach, where we discovered that harmonic mean estimators are still in use, e.g., in MrBayes software employed in phylogenetic inference. The proposal to replace this awful estimator that should never be seen again (!) was rather closely related to an earlier solution of us for marginal likelihood approximation, based there on a partition of the whole space rather than an HPD region in our case… Then, Michael Betancourt brilliantly acted as a proxy for Andrew to present the STAN language, with a flashy trailer he most recently designed. Featuring Andrew as the sole actor. And with great arguments for using it, including the potential to run expectation propagation (as a way of life). In fine, Faming Liang proposed a bootstrap subsampling version of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, where the likelihood acknowledging the resulting bias in the limiting distribution.
My first afternoon session was another entry on Statistical Phylogenetics, somewhat continued from yesterday's session. Making me realised I had not seen a single talk on ABC for the entire meeting! The issues discussed in the session were linked with aligning sequences and comparing many trees. Again in settings where likelihoods can be computed more or less explicitly. Without any expertise in the matter, I wondered at a construction that would turn all trees, like into realizations of a continuous model. For instance by growing one branch at a time while removing the MRCA root… And maybe using a particle like method to grow trees. As an aside, Vladimir Minin told me yesterday night about genetic mutations that could switch on and off phenotypes repeatedly across generations… For instance the ability to glow in the dark for species of deep sea fish.
When stating that I did not see a single talk about ABC, I omitted Steve Fienberg's Fisher Lecture R.A. Fisher and the Statistical ABCs, keeping the morceau de choix for the end! Even though of course Steve did not mention the algorithm! A was for asymptotics, or ancilarity, B for Bayesian (or biducial??), C for causation (or cuffiency???)… Among other germs, I appreciated that Steve mentioned my great-grand father Darmois in connection with exponential families! And the connection with Jon Wellner's LeCam Lecture from a few days ago. And reminding us that Savage was a Fisher lecturer himself. And that Fisher introduced fiducial distributions quite early. And for defending the Bayesian perspective. Steve also set some challenges like asymptotics for networks, Bayesian model assessment (I liked the notion of stepping out of the model), and randomization when experimenting with networks. And for big data issues. And for personalized medicine, building on his cancer treatment. No trace of the ABC algorithm, obviously, but a wonderful Fisher's lecture, also most obviously!! Bravo, Steve, keep thriving!!!
…already Thursday, our [early] departure day!, with an nth (!) non-parametric session that saw [the newly elected ISBA Fellow!] Judith Rousseau present an ongoing work with Chris Holmes on the convergence or non-convergence conditions for a Bayes factor of a non-parametric hypothesis against another non-parametric. I wondered at the applicability of this test as the selection criterion in ABC settings, even though having an iid sample to start with is a rather strong requirement.
Switching between a scalable computation session with Alex Beskos, who talked about adaptive Langevin algorithms for differential equations, and a non-local prior session, with David Rossell presenting a smoother way to handle point masses in order to accommodate frequentist coverage. Something we definitely need to discuss the next time I am in Warwick! Although this made me alas miss both the first talk of the non-local session by Shane Jensen the final talk of the scalable session by Doug Vandewrken where I happened to be quoted (!) for my warning about discretising Markov chains into non-Markov processes. In the 1998 JASA paper with Chantal Guihenneuc.
After a farewell meal of ceviche with friends in the sweltering humidity of a local restaurant, I attended [the newly elected ISBA Fellow!] Maria Vanucci's talk on her deeply involved modelling of fMRI. The last talk before the airport shuttle was François Caron's description of a joint work with Emily Fox on a sparser modelling of networks, along with an auxiliary variable approach that allowed for parallelisation of a Gibbs sampler. François mentioned an earlier alternative found in machine learning where all components of a vector are updated simultaneously conditional on the previous avatar of the other components, e.g. simulating (x',y') from π(x'|y) π(y'|x) which does not produce a convergent Markov chain. At least not convergent to the right stationary. However, running a quick [in-flight] check on a 2-d normal target did not show any divergent feature, when compared with the regular Gibbs sampler. I thus wonder at what can be said about the resulting target or which conditions are need for divergence. A few scribbles later, I realised that the 2-d case was the exception, namely that the stationary distribution of the chain is the product of the marginal. However, running a 3-d example with an auto-exponential distribution in the taxi back home, I still could not spot a difference in the outcome.
Randal Douc defended the efficiency of using Carlin and Chib (1995) method for mixture simulation.

Partecipò 5 volte alla 500 Miglia di Indianapolis, conquistando la pole position nell'edizione 1957 e ottenendo come miglior piazzamento finale l'ottavo posto nel 1955 e 1957.

Nella 500 Miglia del 1958 rimase coinvolto in una collisione multipla durante il primo giro. La sua auto si capovolse prendendo fuoco e non lasciando via di scampo al pilota.

Tra il 1950 e il 1960 la 500 Miglia faceva parte del Campionato Mondiale, e per questo motivo O'Connor ha all'attivo anche 5 Gran Premi in Formula 1, con una pole position.

O'Connor è stato sepolto nel cimitero di Vernon, nella Contea di Jennings, Indiana.

An NJIT-Led Team Secures $3.7 Million to Tackle a Disabling, Concussion-Induced Eye Disorder
Biomedical engineer Tara Alvarez tests VR equipment used in the diagnosis and treatment of convergence insufficiency, an eye coordination disorder experienced by millions of concussion patients with lingering symptoms.
Nearly half of adolescents and young adults with lingering symptoms of concussion suffer from an eye coordination disorder that causes blurred and double vision, headaches and difficulties concentrating. There is no proven method for treating the condition when it occurs after a head injury.
"The disorder makes it hard to read books, work on a computer or even use a smartphone, and the impact on cognition and learning can be severe. It also delays the return to sports, work and driving for young people," said Tara Alvarez, a professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT and an expert on convergence insufficiency (CI), a condition in which the muscles that control eye movements don't coordinate to focus on near objects.
Backed by a $3.7 million grant from the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health, Alvarez is leading a multi-institutional team of engineers, optometrists, vision researchers, sports medicine physicians, balance experts and biostatisticians seeking to establish guidelines that will help clinicians diagnose and treat concussion-related CI. The funding follows a $2 million NIH grant that enabled Alvarez and her longtime clinical partner, Mitchell Scheiman, O.D., Ph.D., the dean of research at Salus University, to first investigate CI in people without head injuries.

Picture Vermont and you might think of maple syrup. Or Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Or, if you're a total outdoorsman, you might think of deep-woods black bears and reclusive whitetails. What you probably won't think about are ducks and geese, which is just fine with the handful of avid waterfowlers who call The Green Mountain State home.
As it is throughout New England, Vermont offers quality Canada goose hunting. Hunting pressure is low — way low — so by burning some fuel and knocking on a few doors, honker chasers should be able to secure permission for some stellar hunts.
As for ducks, Vermont is a white-bread kind of place: mallards, teal, wood ducks and black ducks inland, which isn't a bad thing. Mergansers, buffleheads and goldeneyes round out the menu. A knock-out duck hunting venue? No, but you can't beat Vermont for aesthetics.


Way back in 1987, I was brand new at this "pastor" thing. My first call was to Bethany Lutheran on the lower Eastside of Saint Paul. Thankfully, the faithful people at that little church helped teach me about ministry. To learn about ministry at and around Bethany, I had to depend on the lay folks – because the only staff at Bethany were the organist, the bulletin-typer-and-copier person, the custodian, and me.
But another person was instrumental in helping me understand the neighborhood and the DNA of the congregation; her name was Fern. Although Fern never got paid (more on that later), she had keys to the church building and would often check to see if I had forgotten to lock the doors after I had left.
The morning of a Saturday wedding, Fern would unlock the church, welcome the wedding party, help them get situated, stay until the last wedding guest left, and lock up the building. What a gift to me and my family on those Saturdays! During the week, Fern's kitchen table was a great place for me to be schooled about the changing blue collar neighborhood that was losing all of its blue collar jobs.
During the week, Fern's kitchen table was a great place for me to be schooled about the changing blue collar neighborhood that was losing all of its blue collar jobs.
In the days leading up to this event, memories came flooding back of all the dedicated co-workers I've had the privilege of partnering in ministry with the last 30 years. And it all started with Fern and a handful of other faithful folks at Bethany Lutheran at Forest Street and Jenks Avenue.
My confession? Why, oh why, didn't I anoint Fern the official Wedding Coordinator and charge a fee to every wedding couple? I know she could have used the money.
Thanks be to God for the Holy Spirit working in and through the folks who make congregations tick, I know I'd be lost without 'em.

In last one week all the major newspapers have published about the decision of Hon'ble Court about demolishing of structures in Forest Area of Aravali In Faridabad, as everybody knows that it can lead to loss of thousand crores.
I just want to say when peoples have bought plots from HUDA (Haryana Urban Development Authorities) and taken flats in societies constructed by private builders who have taken permission from State Government. If Government have approved then government should pay for it . Common peoples should not suffer due to mistake of government.
Now I think new land bank should be identified and plantation must be started on immediate basis over their. The cost of plantation may be recovered from government.
Much time we read and listen about the changes in our environment due to Global Warming which is increasing everyday and now it is a very big problem not for any particular company but for whole World. One international poll finds that climate change is a pressing problem. Even UN Secretary General told the world leaders of 150 nations on 24th September that now the doubt stage for Global Warming is passed and we have clear scientific details about the severity of problem and we have to act fast to save our planet. In 62nd General Assembly session the climate change is central theme. It is the emergency for whole of our planet that is in front of all human civilization. All the countries on this planet should take immediate and serious actions to solve this problem which is the biggest threat to humanization.
Please post your ideas, steps required to solve this problem.

Mike Missanelli Suspended, Explains Himself To Admitted Email Hacker

sports radio
mediocrities
Mike Missanelli, the Philly sports radio host who got all homophobic in an email fight with a listener, has been suspended by 97.5 The Fanatic. Philly Mag columnist Larry Mendte has written a defense of Missanelli under the headline, "Mike Missanelli Responds: Deadspin is Journalistically Corrupt."
Philly Radio Host Gets All Homophobic In Email Fight With Listener [Updates]
Mike Missanelli is the host of a drive-time sports radio show on Philadelphia radio station 97.5…
After quoting Missanelli—who claims that he was "trying to be clinical" with the man he continually accused of being a "latent homosexual"—and scolding Deadspin for not reaching out to Missanelli for comment before running the story, Mendte finishes his column with this paragraph (emphasis mine):
So who deserves your condemnation more? The Internet gossip site that ignores the tenets of journalism to launch a personal attack in hopes of attention, an anonymous troll who selectively leaks emails after threatening a man and his family for years, or the man whose only real sin seems to be writing an ill-advised response and clicking the "send" button.
In August of 2008, Mendte, then a local TV newscaster, was convicted of one count of illegally accessing a protected computer after he admitted in court that he hacked into co-anchor Alycia Lane's email account and leaked her personal information to various gossip columnists. This is how Mendte explained his actions:
Mendte said his actions grew out of a feud with Lane that began after he ended what he said was a flirtatious and improper relationship with her, including long dinners and late nights out together.
Mendte accused Lane of undermining his standing at the station. Fearing his career was on the rocks, he began monitoring her e-mails.
"I felt I was in trouble. My career, my future, my family's future was in trouble. And, this is where I got into more trouble - federal trouble," he said.
Lane told a slightly different story:
Asked if "Mr. Mendte made unwanted advances to you and . . . you spurned those advances," Lane replied, "Yes."
Lane said she once lectured him when he leaned in to kiss her after dropping off a Christmas tree at her house in 2003, saying, "A kiss is cheating, Larry. You're a married man."
She said Mendte gave her a Starbucks toy, a frog dressed as a prince, "because he knew I didn't find him attractive."
"I tossed [it] out promptly because [it] creeped me out."
Larry Mendte did not immediately return a request for comment.
Mendte has responded to our request for comment:
I got your tweet after you already put the story up. I don't think I need to comment now. I'll just stay on the mat for the ten count. Thanks for asking.


What is The Best Temperature for Aircon?
Most people talk about how they can get a method of controlling room temperature. One of them is the use of reverse cycle ducted Aircon system. But, what is the best and preferred form of the air conditioning temperature control? How these different forms work. In this article, let's have a look at different types and the best air Aircon temperature control systems found in the market. Tips on the best temperature for aircon system.
The house can be quite frosty or cold, but before the surrounding temperature recirculates back in the air box, it may have heated up significantly. Meaning the air conditioning equipment will keep on working. For example, the controller placed in the table room is kept to 22 certifications, but once the air reaches the comeback airbox, it has heated back up to 30 certifications, which causes the air conditioning equipment to keep working.
Keeps the HVAC system operating even when the room is cool?
In this situation, the unit will keep operating even though people are becoming cool. However, there are two ways to counteract this. The first thing to do is to increase the heat range of the handles which will cause the unit of the circuit to go off quickly. It should be kept at the heat range that is established on the controller. Mostly, this is not often done by people. Instead, it works as a size. If you establish it up to 22 certifications, it doesn't necessarily mean the area will cool to 22 degrees.
Why do you need Temperature Control Air Conditioning System to regulate your house temperature?
Air conditioning temps control allows everybody to create his desired heat on their own and in the separate room. People love to stay at different place sometimes to cool themselves. In this situation, they often want different conditions in their environment. There are other factors which help in determining the room temperature. There is Heat produced by people and other room devices and increase room temperature. Type of the clothes the person is wearing and the place the directness of the house on the sun. Temp control systems, however, beat these problems by giving each one control over the environment.
A critical factor, however, these systems can't do is perform individual cooling/heating operations. If the air conditioner is set to chilling, it can only cool rooms. If someone would like heating in a single room and someone else wants to chill in another room, the air conditioning equipment will not be able to produce this.
A lot of people put a ducted regularly fixed in the hallway nearby the go back air grille. This frequent as it name implies is usually on. It allows the conditioned air to go back quickly again up to the return air package of the unit, which helps the machine cycle off. In this situation, if you were working your sleeping rooms that were all a long way from the return air, the air from the rooms would heat too much before getting back to the comeback air. The set constant, however, would bleed air directly again into the grille which will make the unit routine off and finally save you profit running costs.
VAV means Variable Air Amount system. That's where the area motors for your reverse cycle ducted air conditioning system allows some heat range to get in the room.A zone is a series of blades that close the ductwork if you would like to stop the environment to a room. Likewise, when you wish to air, the rotor blades fully available and air begins to stream out the diffuser and into your room.
VAV systems work differently; however, instead of the blades simply beginning or concluding, they can constantly change what percentage they are open. This continuous adjustment enables you to control the amount of airflow you get into a room which ultimately controls the temp of the room.
VAV system can keep up with the temperature in a room.
For instance, if your room is about 30 degrees and you simply placed your VAV controller (situated in the genuine room) to 22 diplomas, mid-air would get in to cool the area. Once the temperature in the area got to around 22 degrees, the rotor blades will commence closing to limit the airflow to maintain that temperature. When the room temp starts to increase above 22 levels, the rotor blades will open up again to let more air flow in to take it back to the 22 degrees. Using this method the VAV system can keep up with the temperature in a room.
The VAV system is most basic air conditioning temp control. It is an inexpensive way to add temperatures control to simply a few rooms (for example, say your master suite, office, and living room).The procedure is not to be lost with VRV. VRV air-con systems use multiple walls splits (brain units) running of an individual large outdoor compressor.
Fully ducted temperatures control works the same way as the VAV system outlined above. A controller is positioned in each room, and the heat is read, whereby the blades open or near allow the correct airflow to warm up or cool the room.
The difference between full temperatures control is actually that the complete house is run by temps control instead of just a few rooms. As a result of this, the full heat controlled air conditioning system will provide you with the most comfort as individuals would be able to put his/her their own desired temperature ranges in their living places.
Temperature handled air conditioning systems are economical.
This temperature handled air conditioning systems are also more economical and cheaper to run than standard systems due to the energy savings they may have. It is because once the rooms reach heat range, they may easily switch off that allows the machine to circuit off which ultimately saves the dog owner in jogging costs.
I hope when you follow the above guidelines you will know the best air conditioner system temperature. To get more advice, speak to the manufacturer and ask as many questions as possible. You can also contact skilled, experienced, professional air conditioner system contractor to install and give you guidelines on the best temperature for aircon system.


PHOENIX — A 15-year-old is among seven people shot at a party overnight in Phoenix.

Previously Unseen Images Of Barbican Under Construction
Will Noble Previously Unseen Images Of Barbican Under Construction
19 August 1965: Construction site of housing development III of the Barbican. The construction of this complex megastructure was designed to be carried out in six phases and different contractors worked on the site. In 1964 John Laing and Son Ltd won the tender for housing phase III and they finished Speed House in 1968. The company were also responsible for the construction of the Barbican Arts Centre (phase V) which was begun in the early 1970s and completed in 1981. © Historic England Archive, John Laing Photographic Collection.
Previously archived images of the Barbican under construction are now available online.
The images appear on Historic England's Breaking New Ground — a collection of 2,000 newly-digitised images from the John Laing Photographic Collection.
30 Jun 1978: © Historic England Archive, John Laing Photographic Collection.
Laing was established in 1848 as a Carlisle building company by James Laing. It grew to become a major construction company in the UK and internationally. John Laing started work with his father's company at the age of 14, and eventually won the company contracts on some of the biggest projects in the UK, including Barbican.
The company likes to employ photographers to capture its work.

Work began on building London's Barbican development in 1962, although it wasn't until 1981 — and the opening of the Barbican Arts Centre — that the complex was finally completed.

Another major London project that Laing worked on was London Central Mosque. Its construction was unusual in that the domed roof was built before the walls were.

Among the non-Londony photos on the archive that caught our eye are the construction of the brutalist concrete waves of Preston bus station, the spire-crowning of the modern Coventry Cathedral, and the M1 motorway.
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England said: "The Collection offers unparalleled insight into the construction of 20th century Britain... We hope it will shine a light on prominent and everyday British landmarks, and inspire the next generation to enjoy and engage in the built heritage all around us."

La Jolla Village Merchants Association launches window decorating contest and health and wellness bingo
The Village of La Jolla Merchants Association spent much of its December meeting talking about the future — the near future with a shopping holiday window decorating contest, the not-so-distant future with a health-themed bingo game and wellness planned for January, and the long-term future of the organization.
Window decoration competition
The LJVMA has appointed a secret panel of judges who will be walking the Village between now and Christmas Day, December 25, to look at the holiday decorations of area merchants. Judges will choose their three favorite windows based on overall holiday cheer, aesthetics and effectiveness in attracting attention.

You may occasionally receive promotional content from La Jolla Light.
LJVMA Executive Director Jodi Rudick said the board has held the window decorating contest in the past, but is stepping it up this year.
"We started a little while ago [the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020]but we stepped it up during COVID because people weren't going to the stores that first year," she said. "So this year, we have an artist, a gallerist, a former retail executive who specializes in merchandising and an interior designer, who will walk the village in his own time and let me know their top three choices."
Winners will be announced at a future LJVMA meeting.
Health and Wellness Bingo
This is a preview of the wellness bingo card that the La Jolla Village Merchants Association will launch next month.
(Ashley Mackin-Solomon)
Noting that 40 per cent of people make New Year's resolutions – around half of which focus on health – the board will launch an initiative next month to promote health and wellness businesses by creating a bingo-style board of health-based activities for participants to complete.
So far, 11 local businesses have agreed to participate, Rudick said this week, and she's looking for more. The board features 25 activity squares that include "Take a yoga class" and "Eat a healthy meal with a friend" at participating businesses.
"This is a very exciting project for us… because [health and wellness] it's a segment of our community that hasn't gotten the same amount of love as maybe our restaurants or retailers," Rudick said.
While it is customary for the LJVMA to devote its December meeting to its annual strategic planning session, which provides the blueprint for the board's initiatives in the coming year, this year's effort was more refined to produce fewer ideas and more realism. .
As in the past, the December 13 session included whiteboards located throughout the room on which participants could write ideas under the main categories of organizational excellence, business engagement and professional development, promotions, arts and culture/Art Walks of first friday and advertising and social/digital media.
But this year, Rudick said, only 10 to 15 minutes will be spent in a brainstorming session, followed by groups prioritizing ideas. "Then we will look at the feasibility of these ideas," she said. "Do we have the resources and the time to do it, or do we have to find another way to do it?"
She said that only one or two main ideas that are considered the most feasible will be included in the long-term plan. Between now and the January meeting, key ideas will be posted and shared for additional feedback, and the board will vote on whether to adopt and integrate them into the annual plan at the next meeting.
She said the board is too continuing her efforts to attract people who visit area landmarks like La Jolla Cove to the Village to shop or dine and has been looking for new ideas on how to do that.
Next meeting: The La Jolla Village Merchants Association meets next at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 11, at the La Jolla/Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. Learn more at lajollabythesea.com. ◆

Q. How do you list files in a directory?
Q. How do you list all files in a directory, including the hidden files?
Q. How do you find out all processes that are currently running?
Q. How to copy file into directory?
Q. How to remove directory with files?
Q. How do you find out the processes that are currently running or a particular user?
Q. How do you kill a process?
Q. What would you use to view contents of the file?
By default, you can only read the first ten lines of a file. You can change the number of lines displayed by specifying a number option.
The above command would display the first 20 lines of a file named <filename>.
Press [Ctrl]-[C] when you are finished.
The more command is a "pager" utility used to view text in the terminal window one page or screen at a time. The [Space] bar moves forward one page and [Q] quits.
The main difference between more and less is that less allows backward and single-line movement using the same navigation as man pages: press the [Space] bar to go down one page, the [B] to go back one page, the directional (or "arrow") keys to move one line at a time, and [Q] to quit.
To search the output of a text file using less, press [/] and enter the keyword to search for within the file.
The above command would search through the file for all instances of "stuff" and highlight them in the text.
The cat command is a versatile utility. It can be used to view text, to create text files, and to join files. Its name is short for concatenate, which means to combine files.
Using cat alone echoes on the screen any text you enter. It will continue to do so until you exit with the [Ctrl]-[D] keystroke.
Entering the cat command followed by a file name displays the entire contents of the file on the screen. If the file is long, the contents scroll off the screen. You can control this by using the redirection techiniques that are discussed in Section 4.9 Manipulating Information from the Shell.
Q. What would you use to edit contents of the file?
Q. What would you use to view contents of a large error log file?
Q. How do you log in to a remote Unix box?
Q. How do you get help on a Linux terminal?
If you're not sure how to use a specific command, run the command with the -h or –helpswitches. You'll see usage information and a list of options you can use with the command. For example, if you want to know how to use the wget command, type wget –help or wget -h.
Q. How do you list contents of a directory including all of its subdirectories, providing full details and sorted by modification time?
Q. What is a filesystem?
Sum of all directories called file system.
Q. How do you get its usage (a filesystem)?
By storing and manipulate files.
Q. How do you check for processes started by user 'pat'?
Q: Which command to remove or delete a file in your directory?
rm command is used to remove or delete a file in your directory.
Q: How do you add a user?
"adduser newuser" command will create a new general user called "newuser" on your system, and to assign a password for the newuser account use "passwd newuser".
Q. How do you start a job on background?
bg command is used to run the background job.
Q. What is the difference between internal and external commands?
The three main parts are the command, options and arguments.

Innovation and adaptability: towards more natural excipients in dietary supplements.
Nowadays a clean label is truly a criterion of choice for consumers who also pay attention to the composition of the products they use. According to a survey carried out by Opinion Way, 35% of French people want to know the exact composition of dietary supplements, 36% look at the quality and 37% the effectiveness of the products.1
With complete transparency and 'free' allegations being the trend, titanium dioxide and colloidal silica are at the heart of current affairs. They are used in cosmetics, dietary supplements and also the pharmaceutical industry and are more and more contested.
Thanks to our pioneering spirit at PileJe Industrie we are adapting to offer natural alternatives to our customers as we develop or reformulate products and stand out for our quality solutions.
1. Titanium dioxide
Used in numerous applications as a food additive, colour or in cosmetics for its UV absorbing properties, titanium dioxide is a widely discussed substance. Even though to date research has not proven possible adverse effects of titanium dioxide, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has planned a reassessment expected to come out shortly. In France, Bruno Le Maire, the Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance has committed to suspending the use of titanium dioxide in the country.
Present in the coating of capsules and the film-coating agents of tablets, it is true that titanium dioxide is ideal for coating. Coating a coloured tablet with titanium dioxide-free film coating represents a real challenge. However thanks to our expertise, PiLeJe Industrie is pleased to offer a totally mastered natural alternative which uses colouring agents from plant extracts guaranteed free of titanium dioxide.
2. Colloidal Silica
Colloidal Silica is used in product formulation and plays a major role as a flow enhancer for powders and in lubrication (non-stick properties). Finding a quality alternative is quite a big challenge when it comes to developing and formulating dietary supplements due to its very specific grain size. To date no raw material has exactly the same advantages or the same grain size as silica.
Silica comes in the form of nanomaterials. When present in a product, it must be listed (nano) on it in compliance with the INCO 1169/2011 regulation.
Following the clean label approach and our customers' wishes at PiLeJe Industrie, we are working on replacing colloidal silica in our formulas. With a constant desire to innovate and adapt, at PiLeJe Industrie we offer alternative ingredients which provide good flow and are rethinking our formulas by adding high density excipients which adhere as little as possible to tools.
If you would like to learn more about available alternative substances and tailored processing please don't hesitate to contact our team.
The PiLeJe Industrie team wishes you a very happy new year 2021
We are committed to our Charter for the Environment!
PiLeJe has operated in the natural health products market for more than 30 years. During this period, the Group has developed a reputation as a company which cares for the environment, for its customers, for its employees and for the communities which host its facilities.

Diversity on Stage
October 24, 2018 by Elizabeth Kottich
Roses are red. Violets are blue. American poetry publications have a diversity problem. It's true in Nebraska, too.
It's easy to assume that Omaha's published poets are predominantly white people. After all, the anthology of poetry selected for the 2018 One Book One Nebraska (Nebraska Presence), does not feature a single African-American poet.
But looking only at "published" work can be misleading.
Omaha's poetry scene is incredibly diverse. Anyone who has attended one of the myriad competitive poetry slams or open mic nights recurring throughout Omaha—featuring local poets from across the spectrum of ethnic, racial, gender, and sexual orientation/identity—already knows this.
Zedeka Poindexter and Michelle Troxclair know all too well about the struggle for representation in Nebraska's poetry scene.
Poindexter and Troxclair are both leading voices in the local poetry community. These African-American women are dedicated to building an inclusive environment for spoken-word and slam poetry in Omaha.
Troxclair is the board president of Verse Inc. (a nonprofit dedicated to making "poetry exciting and relevant for future generations through innovative projects and unconventional collaboration" with consultative and financial assistance for local poets), and she is the founder of The Wordsmiths (a local spoken-word poetry troupe).
She also organizes an open mic night, Tapestries, with the goal of bridging the racial, cultural, geographic, and age divisions in the local poetry community. Tapestries takes place on the first Sunday of every month at The Omaha Lounge (1505 Farnam St.)
"We all kind of function in these silos," Troxclair says, commenting on the divisions that she has noticed among local poets and between those working in written vs. spoken mediums of poetry. "And my role in this is to try to open up these silos and cross-pollinate."
She explains that spoken-word poetry comes out of the African-American oral traditions. Slam poetry incorporates influences of spoken-word poetry along with hip-hop (another artistic form rooted in the African-American experience).
Spoken-word and slam poetry are both performed. But the competitive form of slam poetry is more like a poetry recital combined with a rap battle and judges taking score.
Poindexter has served as an ambassador for Omaha through her involvement with Omaha Poetry Slam. Representing Omaha on the national stage is a point of pride for her.
"We've been respected as consistently good writers, which is the thing that I love," says Poindexter, who was the first female Omaha Slam Champion and twice named Poet of the Year at the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards.
Poindexter has traveled across the country to read her poetry and perform in poetry slams (including the National Poetry Slam).
In Omaha, she has worked closely with fellow slam poetry organizers (including Matt Mason, director of the Nebraska Writers Collective and founder of the Great Plains chapter of Louder Than a Bomb) to help support new voices on the scene, such as Olivia Johnson, Shanketta Newsom, and Ryan Boyland.
The regional youth slam poetry chapter now encompasses teams pulling from more than 40 schools. Poindexter is thrilled to see students who were exposed to slam poetry through Louder Than a Bomb and other programs now coming back to work in the Omaha poetry community and compete at the National Poetry Slam.
Troxclair's work with Verse and other poetry initiatives function in concert with the efforts of Nebraska Writers Collective, providing opportunities for teens and young adults to take their poems to the next level.
"We provide opportunities for poets to do these really innovative projects," Troxclair says.
Located at 2205 N. 24th St., Verse not only allows local poets, young and old, to perform original poems and develop their writing through Tapestries, it also provides a space for collaborations between poets, spoken-word artists, rappers, and other vocal or musical artists. Previous collaborative partners have included local artists Lite Pole, Edem, Kiara Walker, and Marcey Yates.
The crew at Verse also puts on verse plays (theatrical productions consisting primarily of spoken-word poetry or monologues). Casting for Troxclair's play From the Ashes is scheduled for Jan. 15-Feb. 15, and Verse accepts submissions twice a year (Dec. 31 and July 31).
Verse is also developing curriculum for the Nebraska Writers Collective to use in work with the Douglas County Youth Correctional facility, and Troxclair is teaching spoken-word poetry at North High School through FLIYE Arts Youth Development.
Poindexter and Troxclair emphasize that supporting local poets—whether through financial donations or through attendance at open mics, competitions, and other events—should be a priority for the Omaha community.
"How will we be remembered," Troxclair wonders aloud, "if we do not support our poets and our storytellers and our artists?"

Omaha Poets Populate 2018 One Book One Nebraska
by Elizabeth Kottich
Nebraska poetry is not all about farms and cornfields (although some of it is).
The state has inspired a wide variety of poets and poems, as demonstrated by the 2018 One Book One Nebraska selection, Nebraska Presence.
The book presents an anthology of poetry written by Nebraskan poets. Some of the poems do reference Nebraska land and farming communities, says book editor Greg Kosmicki, but many poems also discuss "major life events, births and deaths, weddings and funerals… the fabric of life."
"It's not just Nebraska stuff; it's human stuff," Kosmicki says.
The Backwaters Press (a small publishing press in Omaha that mainly focuses on poetry) published Nebraska Presence in 2007. Kosmicki, founder of The Backwaters Press, co-edited the anthology with Mary K. Stillwell, author of The Life & Poetry of Ted Kooser.
Prior to 2007, the most recent anthology of Nebraska poets was Forty Nebraska Poets, edited by Greg Kuzma in 1981.
Kosmicki says the idea for the new anthology was conceived by poet Marjorie Saiser and himself, born out of the desire to highlight the many modern Nebraska poets.
Nebraska Presence features poems from more than 80 Nebraska poets, including up-and-comers and nationally acclaimed veterans. Kosmicki and Stillwell used word-of-mouth and classified advertisements in Poets & Writers magazine to solicit poetry submissions.
They invited poets to submit work on a variety of topics. Aside from Ted Kooser—a former U.S. Poet Laureate and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry—no one had more than two poems included.
Kosmicki says, "We didn't want to have an anthology that was typical of a lot of anthologies that will be lopsided with three or four or five [poems] of the really well-known poets, and then one by everyone else."
Looking back on their selection process a decade ago, Kosmicki says they tried their best but did miss some people and types of poems.
Twenty poets in Nebraska Presence are Omaha residents (though two died in the years following the anthology's 2007 publication).
According to Kosmicki, the goal of Nebraska Presence was to provide a collection of poetry that was accessible to the average reader. Many of the poems are about the events of ordinary life and are relatable on a basic human level.
"I'd like people to know that it's accessible, and that the poems in it will make them think and make them move," he says.
The editors at The Backwaters Press were ecstatic when the anthology was named the choice for the 2018 One Book One Nebraska on Oct. 21, 2017. In addition to bringing recognition and potential donations to the nonprofit press, the selection of Nebraska Presence marks the first time in the program's 14 years that the One Book One Nebraska committee has chosen a collection of poetry.
As the 2018 One Book One Nebraska selection, Nebraska Presence has been the focus of library book clubs and reading groups across the state, allowing the general public to read poetry that they would not have otherwise. The program's website states that the goal of One Book One Nebraska is to promote one book, either written by a Nebraskan or set in Nebraska, for all Nebraskans to read and discuss. The focus on poetry across Nebraska this year promotes a different kind of discussion and spurs new ways of thinking about Nebraska—including its land and people—that the previous selections of fiction and nonfiction could not.
"I think that reading poetry can take the reader into a different place and to a different way of thinking about their world," Kosmicki says.

Odes to Omaha
Short Home-Aha Poems by Local Poets
Omaha Magazine asked local Omaha poets featured in Nebraska Presence—the selection for the 2018 One Book One Nebraska—to provide a short poem about how the city inspires them (along with a brief biographical summary).
Twelve poets responded. Their poems are featured alongside bios, listed in alphabetical order by author's last name.
Two of the Omaha poets published in the book, Brian Bengtson and Fredrick Zydek, died in the time that elapsed between the anthology's original publication and the statewide recognition.
Brian Bengtson
(May 13, 1966—Mar. 13, 2015)
Bio: Bengtson was born in Omaha and wrote poetry from the time he was "old enough to hold a crayon." He was the author of three collections of poetry: Leavenworth Street (The Backwaters Press, 2009), Gay…Some Assembly Required (Lone Willow Press, 1995), and First Chill (PublishAmerica, 2005). Bengtson passed away on March 13, 2015.
Michael Catherwood
Bio: Catherwood's first book was Dare, by The Backwaters Press. His second book, If You Turned Around Quickly, was from Main Street Rag. His third book, Projector, was from Stephen F. Austin Press.

Since 1995, he has been an associate editor at Plainsongs, where he writes essays. He is the editor of The Backwaters Press.
These are the days we imagine
all light will soon go out, that our lives
will end sooner than we want. It's expected
as we age while the sun directs the light
show early mornings, the cardinals
in their dances in the backyard sky, our
histories that sit like gargoyles
in the trees. Fatalist. No.
Just the spring days
with their documentary of joy and beauty—
all the splendor that will be missed. All
the beauty we will add slowly to
while we return and return.
Marilyn June Coffey
Bio: Coffey, a Nebraska native, lived for 30 years in New York City. While there, her controversial novel Marcella broke a world record (for being the "first novel written in English that used female masturbation for its main theme") and her wry poem "Pricksong" won a Pushcart Prize. Now an internationally published author, Coffey lives in Omaha with a feisty orange cat and an undisciplined garden. She writes history books. Her work has appeared on the cover of The Atlantic, including "Badlands Revisited: A 1974 Memoir of Murderous Days in Nebraska" (which can be found online). Coffey's Mail-Order Kid was a bestseller on Amazon, and her Thieves, Rascals & Sore Losers also garnered accolades. Coffey's latest—That Punk Jimmy Hoffa!—details her trucker father's clash with the Teamsters.
"From That Punk Jimmy Hoffa!
by Marilyn June Coffey"
"That cussing of yours must of
burnt up the reporter."
"Come on. What difference
would my swearing make?"
"In the Omaha World-Herald?
It's a family paper, after all."

She teaches English-language learners at Metropolitan Community College, where she won an Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010.
"Poets in Omaha—a Series of Haiku"
creativity blossom;
secret gardens thrive.
Heavenward, earthbound,
a cello's sonorous drone—
Symphony of words.
Like fish multiplied,
gold splashing in backyard ponds,
plotting our dreamscapes.
Lyrical lines form
—Missouri's meanderings—
A poem is born.
—hiking Fontenelle Forest—
Cumulonimbi
lure us; unlimited skies
nourish this good life.

"A Visit From the Master"
Housefly lands on my keyboard
Shows me I must write
v, f, r, 4, e, s, z

(Excerpt from a longer poem)
City no one's said it best about;
city that ignores its river,
its young, its elderly, its myths.
I sat in its taverns for five years,
my pledge not to miss a day—
that pledge got me nowhere,
no perched bar to lean on, elbows
dug in like roots, to watch its river
spill mighty waste set down
to join its hostile older sister,
the Mississippi. For five years
I searched for the perfect tavern
like Ponce de Leon…
(Reprinted from Witness' American Cities Special Issue, 1994.)

Omaha is more
than what you knew,
this dirty town carnival windy
small town metropolis
you thought
you were only
passing through.
J.J. McKenna
Bio: McKenna is professor emeritus of English at UNO. For him, Omaha is a great place to observe and participate in people's lives: to see former students like David Martin, who directs a writer's camp at UNO each summer; or Leslie Irwin, chair of the English department at Millard North; or his grandson, Mason, who wrote an award-winning poem about Martin Luther King Jr. Day. McKenna witnessed the scene described in his poem, "On the Last Day of School," one May as he was driving past Westside High School and four girls in high spirits swirled onto Pacific Street in a bright red Ford convertible. "I shared their joy, if only for a moment," he says.
"On the Last Day of School"
four in a cherry red Ford
cruising topdown
long hair flying
wind lifting their laughter
their spirits rising now
this day this time
Sarah McKinstry-Brown
Bio: McKinstry-Brown is the author of Cradling Monsoons (Blue Light Press, 2010) and This Bright Darkness (Black Lawrence Press, 2019). Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, McKinstry-Brown is the recipient of two Nebraska Book Awards and an Academy of American Poets Prize. Her poems appear in RATTLE, Ruminate, Smartish Pace, Sugar House Review, West Virginia's standardized tests (a beautiful irony given that she was, is, and will always be, a terrible standardized test-taker), and elsewhere.
"What the Farmer Knows"
(For Julie)
is about giving each seedling a name,
though it may not take.
Hope is backbreaking.
Even in dreams, feel the pull, the till,
turning earth, soil so dark
it becomes night sky, and the seeds
in your hands, stars.
Michael Skau
Bio: Skau is professor emeritus of English at UNO, where he taught for 37 years. He studied under Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Gregory Corso at Naropa Institute in Boulder, and has published books of literary criticism on Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Skau was named the Winner of the 2013 William Kloefkorn Award for Excellence in Poetry. Wayne State College Press published his collection of poems, Me & God, in 2014. His chapbooks After the Bomb and Old Poets were published by WordTech Editions in 2017 and 2018. In 2014, Skau founded the Imaginary Gardens Reading Series, which he coordinates and hosts every month.
"James Joyce in Omaha"
My first year teaching at UNO,
I gave an exam in my fiction course.
One of the students, a little below
a B so far, chose Joyce's "The Dead"
for his test topic, the lyrical force
of the ending, its melancholy awe:
"It would put your mind in
a wonder," he said.
I found my vocation in Omaha.
James Solheim
Bio: Solheim is a children's author with books from Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, Penguin Random House, and other publishers. He gives presentations at schools, conferences, and libraries, with previous programs all across the nation—including Florida, Washington, Minnesota, Alabama, Vermont, Arkansas, and Nebraska. His inspirational Think Big! presentations involve fun-filled activities to help kids aspire to greater futures. The Wall Street Journal and PBS included his book It's Disgusting—and We Ate It in their lists of best books for getting boys to read. A graduate of the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop, he has taught writing at Southern Illinois University, Northwest Missouri State, and Washington University in St. Louis. He is also active in Omaha's folk music and dance community.
"Winter's First Note"
(A triple haiku about the after-concert
air outside the Holland Center)
After Beethoven,
the cool loose noise of night wraps
us with Omaha's
last fall snap. Feels like
the pond wind's chilled just for us.
Whirling from on high,
one flake, light enough
to float, dimples the water.
A touch and it's gone.
Sarah Voss
Bio: Voss, a retired Unitarian Universalist minister, currently serves as a contract chaplain at Methodist Hospital and is a state family-plan mediator. Her first chapbook of poems—Possum, Beaver, Lion: Variants—was released in October 2017. A mother, grandmother, and step-great-grandmother, she lives in an old Omaha farmhouse with biochemist-spouse Dan Sullivan and two cats, Orange and Gravy. In an earlier career, Voss taught math at UNO and then was the math program director at the College of St. Mary. She carried math into her ministry. Her doctoral dissertation eventually turned into What Number Is God? (SUNY, 1995) and she has since published and lectured extensively about the relationship between religion and math/science. She's now working on a collection of essays based on metaphors drawn from math, i.e., "mathaphors." One such essay—"The Miraculous in Number(s)"—can be found in the summer 2018 edition of Parabola: The Search for Meaning.
"The Gravel Road"
where else can you live
as close to a gravel road
as the one framing the farm
of my midwestern youth yet
still be smack in the midst
of a city filled with arts
music, math, metaphor
poetry, philanthropy, pride
Richard David Wyatt
Bio: Wyatt was an associate editor of The Backwaters Press for 15 years. He retired from UNO's Criss Library in 2016, after 20 years. He has published poems in publications such as Alaska Quarterly Review, Christian Science Monitor, Poetry, Southern Indiana Review, and The Midwest Quarterly. A book of poems, Gathering Place, was published by WSC Press in 2016. Born in California, Wyatt has lived in Omaha for 30 years, having earned a BFA in creative writing from UNO in 1977. He has also lived for stretches of time in Oregon, Illinois, and Long Island, New York. But Omaha, on the edge of the "sea that once solved the whole loneliness of the Midwest" (to borrow the words of James Wright) has been his "true home."
What the crow flies toward
isn't important—rather his shadow,
ever-present, the sky, too,
afraid it won't have enough stars.
Fredrick Zydek
(May 18, 1938—May 6, 2016)
Bio: Zydek was the author of eight collections of poems, a biography of Charles Tase Russell, Learning the Way of Coyote (a novel), and numerous articles, reviews, and essays published in a wide variety of religious, commercial and educational journals. He published over 1,000 poems in literary magazines. Born and raised in the Northwest, he taught at UNO and later at the College of Saint Mary. When retired, he divided his time between home in Omaha, from which he edited Lone Willow Press, and a small working farm near Brunswick, Nebraska. Fredrick passed away May 6, 2016.

Elizabeth Kottich – Editorial Intern
Elizabeth Kottich of Neola, Iowa, is pursuing a master's degree in English with a focus on creative nonfiction writing at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. When she is not busy with schoolwork, she enjoys reading about history, writing nonfiction, and cheering on the Hawkeyes. She looks forward to writing her thesis and finishing her degree (next year) before securing a position teaching high school English in the Omaha area. In the future, she hopes to continue teaching high school English while also teaching a few college classes. She also hopes to become a published creative nonfiction author and to write professionally.
Sara Locke – Contributing Writer
Sara Locke was born in Omaha, raised on poorly constructed Polish food, and graduated from a love of pizza rolls to the prestigious title of editor and food columnist at The Reader in 2014. She is young enough that she will tell you her real age if you ask directly but old enough not to volunteer the information. A freelance wordsmith, she one day realized that someone could make a living turning words into dollars (and it might as well be her). "Mamba" to three—one of whom can't pronounce the word "mama"—when she isn't writing for local papers, magazines, and media firms, she is writing her blog See Mom Date, teaching yoga, or torturing herself over which photos of her children to delete from her phone.
Michael McCurdy – Editorial Intern
Michael McCurdy resonates with the term "in-betweener," as he spends most of his days shuffling through a large and pretentious vinyl collection, yet he appreciates the art of sport (and can be found profusely sweating and cursing during every Hawkeye football game). A student of journalism and cinema at the University of Iowa, Michael hopes to write and direct a modern version of Richard Linklater's Slacker before becoming one of its characters. He has worked as a sports reporter and web editor for the University of Iowa's student newspaper, the Daily Iowan, while also running an online film column for the university's radio station, KRUI. In his free time, you can find him reading lists of all-time-best movies and albums, sometimes ranking his own (though the first-place spot is difficult to nail down: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Pet Sounds).
William Hess – Contributing Photographer
Editorial and commercial photographer William Hess is back in Omaha. During his previous six years in Kansas City, he cut his teeth in the industry and worked for several studios. William and his wife also brought a beautiful daughter into the world (two years ago). But with baby No. 2 on the way, the thought of raising two children away from friends and family got them rethinking priorities. They decided it was time to return to "The Good Life." They sold their house, packed up, and headed Home-aha. Besides working, William loves spending time outdoors and exploring local culture. Showing his daughter the wonders of the world—from the smallest bugs to the biggest buildings—it's exciting for him just to walk outside and see the world through her eyes.
