EPA Proposes Expanded Groundwater Treatment at NJ Superfund Site
The cleanup plan for the CPS/Madison Superfund site in Old Bridge, N.J., includes expanding the existing groundwater treatment system that is operating at the site, plus on-site treatment of contaminated soil that is a source of groundwater contamination.
EPA on April 24 proposed a cleanup plan for the CPS/Madison Superfund site in Old Bridge, N.J., a site where previous chemical manufacturing operations contaminated soil and groundwater with metals and VOCs, including 1,4-dioxane.The cleanup plan includes expanding the existing groundwater treatment system that is operating at the site, plus on-site treatment of contaminated soil that is a source of groundwater contamination.
The Superfund site includes two chemical and manufacturing facilities located on 35 acres. CPS Chemical plant operated until 2001. Madison Industries and a related business, Old Bridge Chemical, are still in operation.
"EPA is proposing several cleanup technologies to address the contaminated groundwater and remove contaminated source material at this site to help protect the health of this community," said EPA Regional Administrator Pete Lopez. "This proposal complements the work of our state partners and continues progress in addressing contamination at this site."
EPA is proposing to treat the contaminated soil using chemical oxidants, such as ozone and peroxide, which would be pumped into the soil as the soil is mixed with augers. The agency will require excavating and relocating approximately 900 cubic yards of soil contaminated with 1,4-dioxane to the treatment area to be treated by oxidation and mixed in with the other soil. Soil samples will be collected and analyzed after the cleanup to ensure the technology is effective.
To address contaminated groundwater, it would be treated by pumping an oxidant into the groundwater. A line of wells would create a reactive barrier that will destroy the organic chemicals as they flow through. Groundwater contaminated with metals that is leaving the Madison property would be treated through continued operation of the existing pumping wells, which bring the polluted groundwater to the surface, where it can be treated.
Part of the site is between the area of groundwater remediation and municipal drinking water wells located at Perth Amboy, N.J. Monitoring of drinking water will be performed under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's direction.
EPA will host a public meeting May 8 to explain the proposed cleanup plan and other options considered and to take public comments. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Old Bridge Municipal Court, with comments accepted until May 24.
Written comments may be mailed or emailed to: John Osolin, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 290 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10007, email:osolin.john@epa.gov.

Europe Virtual Event on Progress and Sustainability
Urgent action is needed to accelerate the decarbonisation of our economies while sustaining improvements in the quality of life for people around the world, particularly the most vulnerable. This is the challenge of a just transition.
The new Just Transition Score from the Social Progress Imperative shows which countries have been better at improving their social progress while reducing their carbon emissions and which are lagging.
The Global Goal on Adaptation declared in the Paris Agreement aims to "enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change, to contribute to sustainable development and ensure an adequate adaptation response in the context of the Agreement's temperature goal of limiting warming to well below 2 or 1.5 °C." (IPCC 2022). If we don't reduce our carbon emissions in time we become increasingly vulnerable, we face economic loss, deterioration of the quality of life and increased loss of life.
The Just Transition Score shows where these goals meet - reducing our carbon emissions while adapting to climate change and improving the quality of life of people. The Just Transition Score combines the comprehensive, human-centered measurement of the Social Progress Index with data on countries' consumption-based per capita CO₂ emissions. The Just Transition Score measures countries' ratio of carbon emissions per capita to the Social Progress Index, it tells us how carbon efficient a country is at creating positive social outcomes. The ratio is scaled from 0 (worst performance) to 100 (best performance). Countries with the highest score are those that are most effectively tackling the climate crisis while delivering social progress for their people. Covering 158 countries, the Just Transition Score tracks progress over time from 2011-2022.
When we look at the world's largest economies, we find that the United States ranks 127th globally on the Just Transition Score and far worse than any of the others, including China (108th), Russia (119th), India (77th) Japan (55th), Germany (49th), United Kingdom (31st) and France (13th).
The US is the worst performing country in the G7. It performs badly not because it is rich, but because it has a toxic combination of high carbon emissions and relatively low social progress. The US will only achieve a just transition by tackling both problems.
BEST-PERFORMING AND WORST-PERFORMING COUNTRIES
There are substantial differences in the way countries achieve their social progress which occur mainly due to disparities in availability of resources and heterogeneity in consumption patterns. The Just Transition Score can therefore be useful not only to provide a general picture based on the social and environmental context, but also to allow comparisons between different regions and countries, and identify those that are the most or the least sustainable.
The Just Transition Score signals to countries ahead of COP27 a new benchmark for success in the push to improve quality of life and lower emissions. It is a helpful tool for accountability and climate justice that responds to the urgency of the climate crisis to show developing economies that alternative, environmentally positive paths to development exist.
There is a huge opportunity to learn from the top Just Transition Score countries as they outperform the wealthiest nations in the world with just a fraction of their resources. Luxembourg, the world's richest country with GDP per capita of USD 134,753 in 2021 (World Bank national accounts data), is one of the worst performers on the JTS at 44.42/100. Norway which ranks 6th in GDP per capita globally and 1st on the Social Progress Index comes in at 28th on the Just Transition Score.
Latin America is the leading region
Led globally by Costa Rica and Uruguay, Latin America is the best performing region on the Just Transition Score but it's also the one improving at the slowest rate of the past 12 years (+1.74). While the countries with the lowest Just Transition scores are making the most rapid improvements.

Flame and Blame
By Alan | June 19, 2017 - 3:49 pm | June 19, 2017 BBC bias
Labour are going into overdrive blaming the government and the local Tory council for the fire at Grenfell Tower…isn't there a missing layer of government there? Where is Labour's London Mayor? Why didn't he leap in to assist Kensington and Chelsea instead of criticising them as he does now….
Mr Khan echoed their point, saying: "People are angry, not simply at the poor response in the days afterwards from the council and the government, but at the years of neglect from the council.
"There's a feeling that the council and government don't understand their concerns and don't care."
Heard Nick Ross on R4 today reminding us that Khan himself as housing minister refused to retrofit sprinkler systems in tower blocks…something which Ross has apparently been campaigning for for years….he actually mentioned it on his Twitter feed a couple of days ago…
Harriet Harman good on WATO but Labour ministers also refused to promote sprinklers and #GrenfellTower is the result. Now let's follow Wales
— Nick Ross (@nickrosscom) June 14, 2017
Here's the Mail's write up of todays's interview…note Ross suggested Khan had been stepping carefully about being political [clearly decided to change that policy…see above remarks] because he knew he was in the frame as well…
Former Crimewatch presenter Nick Ross has said he is "bloody furious" that ministers have ignored calls for sprinklers to be installed in all social housing.
Mr Ross has been campaigning on the issue for 15 years, while he now also chairs heritage body the Kensington Society.
He told BBC Radio 4's World at One that a series of ministers – including now-London Mayor Sadiq Khan back in 2009 – had turned down his efforts to make changes.
It will be interesting to see how much attention Ross's comments get on the wider BBC…none so far that I can see. What's the betting no BBC presenter will pay the slightest attention to this and continue to lazily point the finger of blame at the Tories, government and council, whilst ignoring the Mayor of London's responsibility, without the full context and nuance?
And as for Harriet Harman…
Harriet Harman calls for investigation into tower blocks following lethal blaze
That was back in 2009…what has she done since to follow that up and continue to pressure government and councils to ensure tower blocks are safe as can be? Nothing it would seem. But now she is all guns blazing. But what did she do after the inquiry finished in 2013? Indeed, what did the Media, such as the BBC, which are now expressing so much outrage, do to follow up on the recommendations of the inquiry?
8 Responses to Flame and Blame
Pounce says:
The thing is Labour like Islam canw only exist by having somebody to blame. Funny the Nazis party did exactly the same.
At Grenfell , blaming everything on Tory cuts was used to gain the moral hignground . Once result of this politically contrived backlash is the Government know bends over backwards in which to try and recover some respectablility
We saw that with how families of those who died are now going to be allowed to visit the Uk
We saw it today with the PM visiting the science of a traffic accident simply because it involved Muslims.
Labour have opened Pandora's box is playing the white racist card , and we are just as much to blame for allowing them to do so.
Emmanuel Goldstein says:
Now, every time anything happens where a soul has died or some injuries occur, we can expect swarms of mp's with prime minister, leader of the oppo, lib dems and all the rest of the shite in the house of thieves and liars, all of them milling round the scene looking for photo opportunities and camera crews to film them grieving.
You won't be able to move once all the virtue signallers get on the scene, pop stars who need a jump start to their career, actors and the usual lot who need to be seen showing that they are righteous.
The Royals can do this, that's what they are there for.
Then, every show like qt or pm's questions, we get the obligatory virtue signalling of mp's stating that their thoughts and prayers etc……
Maybe every Monday at 11:00 we should have a minutes silence for all the victims of the previous week instead of the attention seekers and virtue signallers gushing out how saddened they are.
The last person I want to see after a traumatic event would be some mp with their film crew in tow, pretending to be concerned.
Bet they never out-do the Hillsburough reminders!
NCBBC says:
It is foolish and complacent to assume that the most effective techniques will remain forever the monopoly of one side.

Fedup says:
Al beeb interviewed some fella on R4 who claimed that the 5 grand taxpayers money he is going to get
For being burnt out isn't enough. He thought the money wouldn't be enough to replace his TV.
My bugbear is this . He is getting a handout because he was in a fire but there was no question about insurance or personal responsibility.
Standard pee poor BBC approach . Don't pay for it .
Fed up, it makes you wonder what someone with a £5,000 tv is doing living in what appear to be flats for dumping those not wanted anywhere else.
Yes Emmanuel , I hope he asks for a refund on his tv licence until he gets a better handout .
Panorama tonight is called "London tower fire : Britains' Shame".
Al beeb really seems to have lost the plot . Yes 79 dead – possibly because the fire brigade told them to stay put and some one somewhere has screwed up with huge consequences . But Britains Shame.
Councils never listen to residents unless it suits them. Where I live in London they have declared war on motorists . There are cycle ways all over the place and the traffic is screwed . If there was a fire the fire engines would take days to get through .
That fire is not Britains' Shame . Al beeb just can't miss a chance to rubbish our Blighty
Scroblene says:
Nobody seems to have reported Ronan Point yet, but then I don't bother with the MSM much, I just come here for proper news, so may have missed it.
Even Private Eye (remember that two-bob old rag when it was important), did the best story ever printed on the scandal on that particular issue, rather like they got that old charlatan Poulson, but that was before Hislop was out of school, and Paul Foot was a proper investigative journalist.
Come back Paul – Footnotes was required reading back then, and you were so left-wing and good at it, not like the pathetic BBC 'autocue-readers' these days, you almost fell off the edge!

I was a freshman at BSU. It was a Sunday morning at about 10:50 AM. I was going to church which started at 11 o'clock at St. Phillips, a church about 2 minutes away from the Bemidji campus. I made my way to my car and pulled the door open. I jumped in to start the car quick and then scrape the ice off my windshield. I turned the key and nothing happened. I tried it again, still no sound. Then, the red battery light showed up on the console. I checked all the lights and nothing was left on, the car was just too cold it seemed to start. So now, I am thinking that I could run to church, but it would take me a good 10 minutes and I would be late. I also thought I could borrow a buddy's car, but then I would have to wake him up and still probably be late. So, I decided to pray. I first started with the generic "please help me to start this car, God." I turned the key and nothing happened. So now I am thinking I am going to really be late, but then I think, "no, this is an opportunity for God and for me." So, I started praying again, only deeper, and then I broke out into tongues for about a minute, then I started to think about what had happened at Kings, our Christian group, the last Friday, and how Jesus was there and He was coming down the steps to the basement where I was calling him. As soon as I realized how much power I really had through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, I tried the key again and the car roared to life. I was so excited I jumped out of my car and screamed "yes" like ten times. I made it to church like one or two minutes late.

Abbas resigns as head of PLO Executive Committee
Abbas' resignation is apparently expected to boost his legitimacy within the organization.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas resigned Saturday as head of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's Executive Committee in a bid to force new elections for the top body, an official said.
Wassel Abu Yussef said that more than half of the 18-member committee had also stepped down.
"The resignation of the president of the executive committee Mahmud Abbas and more than half of its members has created a legal vacuum, and therefore the Palestine National Council has been asked to meet in one month to elect a new executive committee," Yussef said.
Yussef added, however, that the resignations will take effect only when the PNC meets.
The PNC, or Palestinian parliament, has 740 members who live in the Palestinian territories and in the diaspora. It has not met in nearly 20 years.
The executive committee is the PLO's highest decision-making body and acts on behalf of Palestinians in the occupied territories and the diaspora, namely in the peace process with Israel.
In 1993, Abbas, then executive committee secretary general, signed the Oslo autonomy accords on behalf of the Palestinians.
Yussef said that before the resignations were announced, the executive committee elected chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat as its secretary general.
That move came after Abbas suspended another key member, Yasser Abed Rabbo, as secretary general.
It was not immediately clear why Abed Rabbo, a veteran PLO figure, had been sidelined.

Tommy Tucker will be one of two runners for Brian and Shane Anderton in the Gr.3 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton on Saturday.
The White Robe Lodge crew will be cheering on their home-bred horses in feature races on both sides of the Tasman on Saturday.
On the home front, the Wingatui stable of Brian Anderton (the White Robe Lodge founder and principal) and son Shane will be represented by Tommy Tucker and Gallant Boy in the Gr.3 Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton.
Then just under a couple of hours later, the Andertons' attention will switch to Randwick where Gallant Boy's year younger brother Patrick Erin (a former stablemate) and Yogi will clash in the Gr.1 A$2 million Sydney Cup (3200m), attempting to give White Robe Lodge back-to-back victories in the staying feature.
Twelve months ago there was much jubilation at White Robe Lodge when the Chris Waller-trained Who Shot Thebarman, bred by Brian Anderton and his wife, Lorraine, prevailed in the Sydney Cup, adding another milestone to the record of his deceased sire Yamanin Vital, who stood at the stud.
Now there is an opportunity in the Sydney Cup to boost the profiles of White Robe Lodge's resident sires Gallant Guru (Patrick Erin) and Raise The Flag (Yogi).
Patrick Erin won 10 races from the Anderton stable before being transferred to Waller and from the champion trainer's Sydney stable he won the Gr.1 Metropolitan (2400m) at Randwick last September.
He surprised everyone fresh-up when fourth in the Gr.2 Apollo Stakes (1400m) at Randwick behind stablemate and champion Winx and he goes into the Sydney Cup with a last-start ninth behind Avilius in the Gr.1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) at Rosehill.
Yogi, a $1000 bargain buy at the 2014 South Island Sale, has won eight of his 31 starts and is already proven at the supreme staying test, having won the Listed Sandown Cup (3200m) last November.
Former Brian and Shane Anderton-trained galloper Patrick Erin will contest the Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick on Saturday.
He also won fresh-up this campaign over 1800m at Caulfield and did better than Patrick Erin last start in the Tancred Stakes (2400m) when fifth.
"He went a hell of a race in the Tancred, going way out to get the better going,'' Anderton said.
Back on the local scene, Anderton isn't prepared to split Tommy Tucker (whom he part-owns and co-bred) and Gallant Boy in the Canterbury Gold Cup.
"Authentic Paddy is a good pacemaker to have in the field and is a good horse. He'll be hard to beat, but our two are both good shows,'' he said.
Tommy Tucker, another of the Gallant Guru stock, won the same race two years ago and showed he was back on the right track when second to the ill-fated Boots 'N' All in the Hororata Gold Cup (1800m) at Riccarton last start.
Gallant Boy won the Gr.3 White Robe Lodge Weight-For-Age (1600m) two starts ago, after being runner-up to Tommy Tucker in the same Wingatui feature the previous year, and he rounded off his build-up with a fifth in the Listed Easter Cup (1600m) at Riccarton last Saturday.

The Framed release EP after notable gigs and festival
The Framed are a 4-piece band from Aberdeen consisting of Glynn McGregor (drums), Gareth Burr (guitars), Steve Ross (rhythm guitar) and Jamie Reid (vocals and bass).
The group formed due to a distinct love of all things musical driven by a desire to get out of working 9 to 5. Their music is upbeat rock with some punk simplicity, indie sensibilities and some sometimes naive and thoughtful lyrical content thrown in for a more Vindaloo type kick.
The band have recently recorded their debut EP at Monnow Valley Studios with producer Paul Tipler and mastered it at Metropolis Studios with John Davis. With the release of the EP " I Don't Know "this month, their first festival performance already behind them and gigs plays over last few months, the future should be exciting for this band.
"I Don't Know" is the latest single from The Framed and will be released on 30 June 2014.

Here's a little-known French fact: Doug Ford loves francophones.
The ones next door in Quebec.
As for the 622,000 who live here in Ontario, they've never really been on his radar. Nothing against them, he just didn't notice them — and didn't need them.
"It'd be important to be able to communicate with part of our country that speaks French — I love Quebec, I love Quebecers," Ford replied brightly to Radio-Canada's Queen's Park correspondent, Julie-Anne Lamoureux.
Those who heard her report couldn't believe their ears.
Quebecers? What about her primary television audience of Franco-Ontarians?
It was a telling comment at the time, and it speaks volumes today.
The cri de coeur from Franco-Ontarians was matched by an outcry in Quebec and an uproar in Ottawa. Francophone MPPs in the legislature protested from their seats; Quebec Premier François Legault took up the cause on a visit to Queen's Park; federal Tory Leader Andrew Scheer joined all major parties in objecting.
Not only has Ford antagonized a vital provincial constituency, he has alienated potential partners beyond Ontario's borders. The man who would be premier had repositioned himself, in recent months, as the politician who would be prime minister — or perhaps play kingmaker — but Ford's federal future is now in the past.
National pretensions require a federalist vision and a provincial acuity that elude him. Now, having forsaken francophones, Ford can forget those ambitions.
But our wounded premier is not the only high-profile politician at Queen's Park to be burned because their political antennae weren't more attuned. Consider Caroline Mulroney's track record.
As the minister "responsible" for francophone affairs (albeit without a ministry), her flawless French made her a beacon for francophones at the outset. French-language journalists understood her star quality, because their editors always coveted a clip from the daughter of a former prime minister.
But elocution isn't empathy. And a minister without a ministry is a politician without power.
Mulroney's inability to protect French-language rights — indeed, the zeal with which she defended the government's blunders in a signed opinion piece published by the National Post — recall her failure to stand up for Charter rights last August when the premier recklessly invoked the notwithstanding clause to redraw Toronto's electoral map on a whim.
Amanda Simard has taken a different tack. The sole francophone MPP in the PC caucus, and the parliamentary assistant to Mulroney, she spoke out against her own government — and her own minister (although the two aren't speaking).
In a last-ditch effort to put the controversy behind him, Ford announced late Friday that he'd had second thoughts: He belatedly restored a stand-alone francophone affairs ministry with Mulroney in charge, and promised to partially upgrade the downgraded French-language commissioner's job (albeit still under the ombudsman), and to hire a new adviser in his office.
But his latest linguistic conversion has satisfied no one and alienated everyone. In pursuit of ephemeral cost savings (still unspecified), the Tories have shown they neither comprehend nor care about the aspirations of the biggest francophone community outside Quebec.
"I love the francophone Ontarians," a chastened Ford declared Wednesday, striking a dramatically different tone from his unguarded comments to Radio-Canada last February. In the aftermath, Ford got so bogged down in narrow provincialism that he forgot the generous federalism that binds this country together.
Given his known blind spots, he probably didn't think twice before deciding to rationalize French-language services again and again. But what rationale did Mulroney have for forsaking francophones — and defending the decision for so long — given that she grew up in a bilingual environment at 24 Sussex Dr. when the prime minister of the day placed a premium on minority language rights?
That's a question her own rebellious parliamentary secretary has been asking of late. It's well worth answering, in either of Canada's official languages.

Even Santa needs the help of web developers these days.
SAN FRANCISCO---Google launched the start of its annual summertime I/O developer summit by championing Android's active user base of one billion and counting.
It appears Santa Claus might be one of them.
One of the internet giant's more charming projects, the Santa Tracker has become somewhat of a digital yuletide tradition over the last decade.
The origin of the Santa Tracker dates back to 2004 when Google acquired a small company called Keyhole, which has since become what is now known as Google Earth.
Around that same point in time, an engineer commenced on a small project based on Keyhole, mapping Santa's "route" around the world.
The project resonated so strongly it attracted approximately 25,000 unique visitors at the start, which Kotwal said blew them away.
By 2013, the Santa Tracker user experience grew into a full-fledged online, snow-kissed winter village with interactive HTML5 games, keystroke animations, a soundtrack, and of course, an elaborate Google Map that can even be integrated with Chromecast for viewing on larger screens.
Displayed in 32 languages, the United States accounted for the largest audience with roughly 32 percent of visitors in 2013.
Sprinkled with Google products for both desktop and mobile, Google product managers explained on Thursday how the Santa Tracker has been rebuilt from the ground up to showcase it as a prime example of what can be done with the Google developer platform.
"The key takeaway here is that Santa was built on Google's developer platform using technology you can use today and solutions you can use yourself," posited Ankur Kotwal, an advocate on the Android Developer Relations team.
"The key takeaway here is that Santa was built on Google's developer platform using technology you can use today and solutions you can use yourself," posited Kotwal.
To keep the site responsive throughout the holiday season, the Santa Tracker employes a module system. Google Analytics also play a part, notably to track error messages and responses. Followers can also receive notifications and post messages about nearby Santa activity to Google Plus.
The API itself is an internal product, but Chris Broadfoot from the Google Maps Developer Relations team based in Sydney revealed that external developers are welcome to try it out and play with it by contacting his department directly.
Each destination includes metadata about where Santa was last and the population of that location — an important statistic considering how many gifts might need to be dropped from the sleigh.
Reflecting Santa's on-the-go lifestyle once per year, the mobile version has taken priority, tapping into the Google Maps for Android API.
As is the case with many desktop successes that made the jump to mobile, there have been some roadblocks while building a highly responsive app that could be accessed by the vast Android ecosystem, which has routinely taken flack for being too fragmented.
Coincidentally, Kotwal glossed over one hurdle in which Android devices still running Gingerbread would have been excluded.
Eventually, engineers settled on building a native app rather than going with an HTML5 version. Kotwal clarified it came down to performance into order to build a rich experience, not to mention the opportunity to utilize other technologies built into mobile devices.
The accelerometer is particularly useful for the Santa Tracker, such as a tilt game in which an elf flies around to grab presents.
"We could really only get that level of responsiveness through a native app," admitted Kotwal.
"There's no way we can revise it from that point forward," he continued, describing the simulations engineers perform, experimenting on a grab bag of different Android devices how Santa might fly across the world while the site manages global traffic.
Broadfoot noted the volume of traffic isn't actually much higher on Christmas because Google overall usually sees a dip around Christmas. He outlined how "spiky traffic" is managed, admitting there is a bit of a time delay for some users (usually no more than two minutes) when visitors inundate the site.
Engineers can play a part in plotting Santa's course to some extent by moving him higher or lower throughout the map, but as hinted by the simulations, there is a little magic in store for everyone.
With a sly smile, Kotwal remarked, "We have to assume where Santa's going to land."


Lawrenceville, NJ (Dr Charles Simone) – The Simone KidStart Prevention ProgramTM (originally called HEALTHY START) was first started in 1983 by Charles B. Simone, M.D. It is described as the only prevention program in the country. Prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses is feasible, economical, and makes a lot of sense.
The key to prevention is to teach our children early in life about a healthy lifestyle. Prevention with simple changes in lifestyle is the key to America's soaring health care costs and soaring rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. One of every two people in the United States develop cancer. The National Academy of Sciences indicates that 60% of women's cancers and 40% of men's cancers and 80% of cardiovascular diseases are related to nutritional factors alone.
The Simone KidStart Prevention Program is designed to teach children about healthful lifestyles early in life. The Program consists of planned lunches, newsletters sent home, assemblies to instruct about the "good" and "bad" foods, vitamins and minerals, as well as other lifestyle factors.
Taking 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake of vitamins to children between the ages of 3 and 12 can raise their I.Q. by 12 points.
Taking 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake of vitamins to children and teenagers who are bullies can quell their aggressive behavior.

This paper is concerned with an aspect of implicit forms of evaluation in British colonial journalistic discourse on Morocco in the late nineteenth century. British colonial discourse on Morocco is a part of a body of marginalized discourse, which, although marginalized, is not devoid of cultural significance both to Morocco and to Britain. The focus will be on the way figures of authority, such as the Sultan, are represented in the context of this discourse. The paper is based on the assumption that linguistic forms of naming the cultural other are never free of evaluative attitudes. These attitudes are usually expressed through utterances that carry the evaluation proper, either explicitly or implicitly.
The present paper demonstrates a reading of implicit forms of evaluative utterances taken from the Times of Morocco, a British newspaper published in Tangier during the "scramble for Morocco". Research in the area of what has come to be called colonial discourse analysis has been limited to the explicit thematic aspect of this discourse. The perspective of the present paper is significant in that a recognition of implicit attitudes embedded in discourse leads to more nuanced understandings of the workings of colonial discourse.


The Bookbug Detective is here to help you with any questions you have about books, songs and rhymes for your little one. Thank you to everyone who has sent in their questions so far. The Detective has selected a question to answer below but if you'd like some book recommendations or advice send the Bookbug Detective an email!
We're going to celebrate the start of autumn with some different activities for wee ones at the nursery I work at. Do you have any books you would recommend?
123: A Walk in the Countryside by Rosalinde Beardshaw - a beautiful board book created by the National Trust. Two friends talk an autumnal walk, counting squirrels, acorns and other seasonal objects along the way. A very subtle introduction to counting too.
Tree: A Peek-Through Picture Book by Britta Teckentrup - each season of the year is brought to life by stunning illustrations and wonderful, rhyming text. Little ones can peek through the holes of the tree to spot owls, apples and spider webs!
The Very Helpful Hedgehog by Rosie Wellesley - Isaac the hedgehog is happy living alone on his pile of leaves, until an apple lands on his back and he discovers a new friend as a result. A touching story about friendship (and apples!) - perfect to read aloud.
Wind (Whatever the Weather) by Carol Thompson - discover sights, sounds and textures in this celebration of windy weather! A great one to share with children before they head out to play in the wind. Look out for others in the series, including Rain and Snow.
Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper - even the front cover of this book looks autumnal! This is a classic story about three friends who spend time making the perfect pumpkin soup. All's well until Duck decides to change the way things are done. A great message about sharing and compromise for wee ones.
Autumn by Ailie Busby - 'it's time to fill my wheelbarrow with delicious things...' Little people wrap up warm and head outside to enjoy some good old leaf-kicking and apple collecting in this simple but beautiful board book.
Talking of apples, Apple Day is celebrated every autumn to mark the time that apples are generally harvested in the UK. You could link to this theme with more books about apples (A New House for Mouse by Petr Horácek; Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett; Apple Pie ABC by Alison Murray) and of course there are songs and rhymes to share too. Here are two films from the Bookbug Song and Rhyme Library to get you started - Ten Red Apples and Way Up High in the Apple Tree.
Finally, why not get your wee ones to have a go at being a wiggly worm in this simple apple-inspired craft from my friends at Play Talk Read?
Have a great time celebrating all things autumn with the children in your nursery!


I have the need to look up invoices in Microsoft Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing by the Ship to Address. Until I setup Advanced Lookups to help me, I didn't realize how much time and effort I used finding the right invoice. I then expanded my use of Advanced Lookups to include GL Accounts. Wow, taking advantage of a small featured yielded me great benefits!
One of the most frustration situations I come across is when I walk into an existing user of Microsoft Dynamics GP only to find they are using Payables Management (PM) as a fancy check writer rather than a tool to manage payables.
1) How much do we have outstanding right now?
2) What's due through next week?
3) How much is past due?
This is what PM is all about. Bank Reconciliation can print a check, payables is designed to help you track invoices by vendor, update the GL of transactions from invoices and their payments, determine when an invoice is due and when it's best to pay… Basically its a way to MANAGE your payables, hence the name Payables Management.
Did you know there is a report called Cash Requirements where you can enter a date and the system will show you all invoices due by that date with a total dollar amount?
Did you know the Cash Flow Module will look at PM and determine how much cash is due to flow out of the company by that due date?
Don't do extra work, let PM help you!
As a user, my business partner was always asking "Where does our cash go?" With the use of Smartlist, I was able to efficiently answer that question. To give him a year or month's worth of data was basically the same as saying "I don't know." It's too much information to process easily. So what did I do?
This video shows how I suggest data be imported if you use an outside payroll service like ADP, Paychex, etc. I show an Import I setup Integration Manager and Microsoft Dynamics GP.
I get asked during every new implementation "which posting reports should I keep in Microsoft Dynamics GP?" If you ask which reports I keep, the answer is… None.
Using Microsoft Dynamics GP, if you do Bi-weekly payrolls, you pay employees 26 times a year. If you have monthly deductions, like health insurance, you have a monthly amount for each employee to deduct.
Problem? If you annualized the monthly deductions and divide by 26 and use that amount each pay period, than you'll have great difficulty balancing your payroll accounts in the General Ledger. Also, if an employee leaves your company, it's likely you'll have to settle up for the difference in the deductions, which usually means the employee will owe you money.
If a month has 3 pay periods, use a different "Build Payroll Check" ID and on the Deduction and Benefit button, use the Selected radio button and do not select those monthly deductions. This means a couple of pay periods during the year the employee will get more money which will make them happy. Also, you'll be able to balance your General Ledger payroll accounts more easily! Its a win win!
Is your Dynamics GP GL Cash Balance Right?
We all know Reconciling our cash to the Bank is important, and if you are using the Microsoft Dynamics GP Bank Reconciliation Module… YOU'RE A HERO!
We all know Reconciling our cash to the Bank is important, and if you are using the Microsoft Dynamics GP Bank Reconciliation Module… YOU'RE A HERO! But, it is equally important to make sure the sub-module of Bank Reconciliation (BR) balance the GL accounts for the cash in the General Ledger (GL.) Remember we can prove the BR balance, and the BR proof is the GL proof; so this is VERY IMPORTANT!
Author Belinda AllenPosted on March 6, 2012 December 19, 2018 Categories GP Financials, Microsoft Dynamics GPLeave a comment on Is your Dynamics GP GL Cash Balance Right?

Great Oaks Silver Saints group is for ages 55 and up, which encompasses several life stages including grand-parenting and retirement.
Our Silver Saints group gets together several times each year for activities. Sometimes it's a 'bring your own dinner' game night at the building. Sometimes it's a day trip to Reelfoot Lake or to see seasonally-decorated homes in Holly Springs, MS.
Our Silver Saints have a Wednesday afternoon Bible class each week at 2 pm. On Sundays at 9 am and Wednesdays at 7 pm, there is not a "Silver Saints" class, but our Silver Saints attend the adult class of their choice.
Our Silver Saints group also helps lead several of our ministries, including a worldwide outreach effort through Bible correspondence courses by mail. They also take the lead in organizing visits to local nursing homes each Monday and Wednesday morning, often followed by having lunch together.


CSIRAC main-frame thermonic valve (vacuum tube) technology stored-memory digital electronic computer. 768 words storage in mercury delay lines, 20 bit words. Comprises multiple metal cabinets containing power unit, CPU and processing circuitary, printers, storage delay lines, hard disk drive storage unit, paper tape readers and punches.
Originally known as CSIR Mark 1, CSIRAC computer was designed in 1947 by Trevor Pearcey and Maston Beard at the Division of Radiophysics, of the Council for Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR - today known as CSIRO). Construction was commenced in Sydney in 1948, and the first program was run in 1949. The machine was in full operation by 1951. It embodied many features novel at the time and was able to operate more than 1000 times faster than the best mechanical calculators. CSIRAC is generally acknowledged as the first stored-memory electronic computer in Australia and it today the world's only complete surviving first-generation digital electronic stored-memory computer.
In 1955 the computer was transferred to the University of Melbourne, Computation Laboratory, where it was renamed CSIRAC, and continued to operate until November 1964.
The date range (1949-1964) is given to indicate that changes were made to the structure and circuitry over the period of CSIRAC's working life. CSIRAC is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, Number H2217 and has been awarded a National Engineering Heritage Landmark plaque by Engineers Australia.
CSIRAC at Melbourne consisted of two rows of cabinets, a control console, input and output devices, test equipment and an off-line paper tape editing area. There were nine cabinets, five in the front row and four in the back. Cool air was blown up through all the cabinets from the basement below. The auxiliary memory (disk drive) occupied the middle space that would have been occupied by a cabinet in the back row. The five front row cabinets contained (from left to right viewed from the front) power supplies, input and output circuitry, clock and control circuits, arithmetical circuits and memory control circuits. The four back row cabinets contained (from left to right viewed from the front) power supplies, auxiliary store control circuits, 'disk drive', auxiliary test power supplies and memory control circuits.
One of the largest pieces of vacuum tube equipment ever constructed, its components cover 40 square metres. Two tonne weight is approximate.


Your first step is to load up with information on different courses. If it's possible, head along to open days – or ask for an appointment with an admissions officer, so you can ask personal questions about the course and what's involved. If that's not possible, carefully compare course brochures and prospectuses, and see what past students have said.
It's really important to consider why you want to study massage. If it's just to explore a new passion and massage friends and family, a simple online course could be fine.
But if you want to practice massage in Australia, you'll want to enrol in a course that's accredited by an industry association – like the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT). The program should also be nationally recognised and run by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) regulated by the government. Bear in mind that while the industry is unregulated in Australia, an accredited course will help you stand out in the industry – and provide clients with peace of mind that you're qualified.
Some massage schools offer shorter courses or taster sessions, so you can try it out and see if you'd like to delve deeper. These will usually cost less, too, so you can get sense of a career in massage before investing in a more intensive program.
Of course, if your intention is to practice massage as a hobby, a shorter course can be enough to get you on your way.
How is the course delivered? Some schools offer online or distance learning, while others require you to be on campus and undertake practical assessments.
How long will the course take? Can I study at my own pace – or do I need to stick to a schedule?
Who will take the course, and what are their qualifications and experience? Teachers can make a big difference to your learning journey, so be sure to choose a course run by people who know their stuff.
How much does the massage course cost? Are fees due up-front, or can I get a loan or other support to pay for it?
With answers to these questions, you'll be in a better position to choose a massage course that's right for you. And when you are, you can compare massage courses here on ntpages.


Each week, the Hispanic Radio Podcast focuses on some of the key topics, facts and trends shaping Spanish-language radio — and stations with English-language programming that target Latino consumers.
Many of these topics were shared at the Hispanic Radio Conference, held March 12-13 at the Intercontinental in Doral. This year's two-day event was jam-packed with panel discussions delving in to The Fair Play Charter and where the the Media Leadership Council (MLC) of the 4A's stands today, and just what programming innovation — if any — can be seen across Hispanic radio today.
One session that struck a chord with many attendees is the focus of this podcast, and it happened to be the final session of the conference.
A closing Hispanic Radio Conference panel explored smart speakers and other tech innovations that are re-defining the audio landscape. One of the participants, Havas Media USA – Miami head of digital Humberto Cruz, shared a fascinating Havas study that includes some very interesting intelligence on audio.
Radio + Television Business Report editor-in-chief Adam R Jacobson shares highlights from this report in this latest Hispanic Radio Podcast, which also features a great soundbyte on the proliferation of smart speakers from Jason Bailey, President & Founder of Sun Broadcast Group.
