One thing we don't seem to be considering is the possibility that there has been little change in sea levels in Sydney Harbor, a protected area. The earth is not a sphere - close, but no cigar. Its actual shape is a geoid. It is more-or-less an oval in each of three dimensions. Gravity varies considerably from place to place. The world's oceans vary in height by as much as 60 feet. So it is possible that the rising water went somewhere else. But where? We need gauging records for Sydney Harbor that we can compare to the rest of the world. How about it, tmcom? How about posting gauging records from Sydney Harbor so we can check whether there really is a difference?
The thing about science is that results have to be repeatable. If your pictures actually prove anything other than that you can gin up something, then there should be gauge records that show it. So lets repeat your experiment using a different data source and see if it holds up. Might even be a paper in it.
Post #561 has the video, showing the data sets, and no l am not digging for it, all oceans are interconnected so what l have shown is more than enough, gravity wells, jupiter or unicorn numbers are not going to change that.
Been watching this, or trying to, pffft. Brainwashing a Greta mark two, sharing a car, is good, when it sucks, and sharing solar panels in India is also good, well l will partially agree with that, it is better than nothing, or what we almost have, reliable power, but get enough overcast days, and the whole, whispy idea, is crap.
Then closeups of children that either have no idea or are reading it from a script, or are selling windows 10, and the main father figure, using his inefficient fireplace or fridge to show, he has no idea about CO2?
Then showing fields of solar and wind, (with a few angels) saying we can fix this, yes we can fix this with conventional cleaner options, and waiting it out til fusion or magnetic vortex, becomes mainstream.
I will watch the rest for morbid curiosity, and the utter stupidity of it, the funniest being CO2, increases natural disasters, lack of it does,..........!

So you have no evidence to support your contention. That, by itself, isn't a big problem; all it does is destroy your hypothesis. But if it is to be accepted as valid, it must be verifiable.
Your problem seems to be that you don't know where to find the data, or even if it exists. I'll see what I can do.

We can fix the problem and we are. The US already has well over 60,000 wind turbines, generating about 7% of our power. Solar, mostly photovoltaics, generates another 1.66%. Because solar varies greatly, from small roof-top panels to major photo-fields, the number of installations is both hard to determine and doesn't mean much when you finally get the number. Total installed capacity means more - it is currently about 14.762 Mw.
Hydro adds another 6.1%, making the total US renewable energy capacity about 14.76% of our current power usage. That's pretty close to one sixth of US power. At the current rate of growth, we should reach 20% in a little under three years. By 2030 (AOC's deadline), we could reach 60% without even increasing our annual investment in renewables.
The US is third in the world in air pollution, behind China and the former republics of the Soviet Union. We are second to China in wind farms. And we are world leaders in solar.
We can currently generate 2.5% of our power supply from pumped storage. This does nothing to increase the power supply, but it does allow better diurnal balancing of the power load.
Fusion has been twenty years in the future since at least 1946 when a patent was issued for a fusion reactor. So far, fusion reactions haven't lasted longer than a split-second. We need continuous generation to use them as a power source. Believe (and use) fusion when you see it. In the meantime, prepare to live without it.
There are two proposed vortex engines. One is just another windmill, but taking advantage of rising warm air from a warm surface, rather than winds parallel to the ground. Small amounts of power have been generated and, in principle, this could be scaled up. BUT: nobody has been able to do it.
The other type of vortex engine is a magnetic vortex which uses the earth's magnetic field to generate a small current. Nothing moves. The earth's magnetic field passing through a veritical iron shaft generates the current in small amounts. Again, this will work in principle, but we don't have even one industrial-scale working model. Once again, use it if and when it comes on line, but be prepared for the possibility that it will never come on line.
Both wind and solar are here NOW. Wind has proven it can compete with fossil fuels, even with gas, and provide power as reliably as any fossil fuel plant. Solar seems poised to do the same thing. We can't afford to wait for pie-in-the-sky technologies which may never arrive. Use them when we get them, but prepare for the eventuality that they won't arrive at all.

That was too easy. I found it on the first try: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_global_station.shtml?stnid=680-140
Sydney' Harbor's mean annual rate of sea level increase is 0.65mm/yr. or about 0.21 feet per century since 1886. The world average is currently about five times that great, about 1 foot per century.
I don't think you did it deliberately, but you have chosen a place with a much lower-than-average rate of change to try to prove your contention that there is no sea level rise. Unfortunately, you didn't choose the right place: Sydney DOES show sea level rise - just not very much of it.
No, evidence, seeing no sea level change over 10 to 150 years is pretty solid evidence, (including the 1880 California coast one) everything else is secondry. Or a 1859 image from our museums image archives, showing the fort in Sydney harbour, has a very slim chance of being fake, (it will be published also) but datasets or the charts can be easily faked, although newspaper articles show that up.
Magnetic vortex systems will come out when gov, stop burying them. But the atmospheric one, already created that as a hobby, and it works, sure you need a paddock of the things to power a house forever, although calibrated vacuum tubes with cadmium could power a house with one antenna, as far as l know, lol..
hat was too easy. I found it on the first try: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_global_station.shtml?stnid=680-140
I can't believe you said that, oh wait,....so Sydney harbour shows no rise, and apparently Hawaii's retaining wall and Californias' coastline doenst either.
We will end it here, l still have to get through the rest of 2040, and that is enough.
PS l thought that a new Doug signed up, for a while but realized you got a hair cut.

Like I said, use it if and when it gets here, but prepare for the possibility that it won't.
You didn't read the post. It says that sea levels in Sydney Harbor rose at an average rate of 0.65mm/yr since 1886. I'll see what I can find on Hawaii and California.
Hawaii was too easy, too. Found one article on the first try: http://pgf.soest.hawaii.edu/Publications/caccamise_grl_05.pdf
Figure 1: 1.8mm/yr sea level rise at Honolulu since 1946. 2.5mm/yr. at Hilo since 1975.
Honolulu is three times the rate at Sydney Harbor. Hilo is four times greater.
Did some checking on California. I never knew it, but sea level rise is greater in the south end of San Francisco Bay (c. 4mm/yr) than in the north end (c. 2mm/yr). The average for the California coast outside of SF Bay is about 4mm/yr. That's about six times the rate in Sydney Harbor.
The big problem presented by sea level rise is that of the 100-year flood. In California, that's about three feet above mean sea level. Elsewhere, it can vary by tens of feet. Don't know what it is for Sydney.
Should we panic over rising sea levels? No. My house might make it to 100 years old. I think it already saw the worst possible flood, which cane up to the front door, but didn't get inside. By the same token, if your house is safe from 100-year floods now, it will probably be safe from them for a few more decades. Even if it's not, your house probably won't be around for the second 100-year flood, anyway. The problem: how often can we get flooded out before it is no longer cost-effective to rebuild?
We have mentioned tides as something that affects sea level. Also, there's temperature: warm water is less dense than cold water, so sea levels are higher when the water is warm. As this varies with the season, it is important to correct for time-of-year. There's also salinity: sea water is less dense when there's a lot of fresh water coming in; thus, sea levels are higher. Also, it makes a difference whether you record water temp in a wooden bucket or a metal one. The water in the bucket tends to take on the temperature of the air rather quickly. There's an armload of corrections you haven't made.
No, evidence,
Circular reasoning: "I can;t find any evidence of change because there isn't any change. There isn't any change, so I can't find evidence of any." You haven't looked.
Well, l watched the video again, and he said, that levels have gone up and down since, 1914, with a 15cm variance, and are now 6cm lower than it was in 1914, so going by datasets we are propably in an mini ice age, (but as the guy said, planatery positions play a part, ne didn't mention any other variable).
But comparing 1959 to 2006, there has been no change, or taking variables into account it goes up and down, but NEVER up and up, as the nutters keep spouting!
Circular reasoning, lol better than a house of cards in front of a wind turbine, (the NASA, IPCC chart shows constant rising since 1880, so going by the fort example, 45cm - 6cm for 2019 variance, equals almost 40cm, there is NO 40cm rise on my example, sorry Doug you wanna cling onto this myth, but it is a myth.

Just watched the rest of 2040, and brainwashed moron covers it!
He supposedly sits on top of a wind turbine, (which l don't believe, or one slip and you are dead) and talks to a flake about how wonderful these monstrosities are. Then some more children, spouting nothing, (apart from playing mineraft, not really) and the funniest part he shows the slimy tactics, or disbelievers of using nice images of birds and staff on their sites to spout lies, (truths in other words).
He would probably burn me at the stake for pushing evil hard evidence of no sea level rise!
Another fanatic with a big budget pushing his cult to the world, with a sprinkling of some ok ideas around a lot of ugly ones!
A bright future isn't having to share a car with 4 other people every day, paying very high electricity prices, sharing solar power, until the lights go out, but growing food on city roofs, may have merit, but l would be b*****ed if l had to muck around with that.
making all trains electric, our trains are already electric, and thanks to out dimwit premier allowing rampant immagration, our trains are almost at capacity, or standing only at peak hour, (l also read today peoples manners are dropping, which is no surprize since, our lord mayer is also an idiot by banning cars in our city.
He is pushing walking or riding, try doing either on a freezing cold day, with wind and rain,.....oh, l keep forgetting our winters are going to magically disappear?
So our electricity prices keep going up, and dimwit only allows off shore gas extraction, (so gas is high also) and no dams, since our country won't get any rain anymore, and wants to close another coal plant soon, eventhough his cult religion has no bases in fact, and none of this makes any difference globally if it where true.
Then our electricy goes up again, heavy industry leaves more and more, street lights get dimmer or switched off, (a muggers paradise) and dodgy solar/wind and an army of diesal gen, take over.
We have to endure this moron for another 2 years, and since the young are wising up, he should be gone, ............finally!
Videos are anecdotal evidence. They don't correct for anything. They are useful when all else fails to substantiate your claim, as you are using them. But I am a science nerd. I want data I can analyse and you aren't providing much. On the other hand, NOAA and others have lots of it. So whose data am I going to believe?
Don't take my word or anybody else's, but DO do your own analysis. Without an anlysis, you have nothing - not even a hypothesis.

Sure go to NOAA, as long as you go to the legit one, or the one LS uses or Tony H.
Hypothesis, lol, well l looked at an old image and a recent one and it shows no sea level rise, that is pretty frickin solid evidence! Pretty obvious that you are going to get into big words, and fance equations again or cherry pick this to death to show that no sea level rise is invalid somehow, or the AL Gore cherry pick it enough and he ends up right syndrome.
If you want to keep believing in this crap that is your concearn, l have presented solid evidence to anyone who is sane that it is crap, case closed!
Because our premier is an idiot, (Australia has drought and flooding rains, or farmers that have farmed for over 100 years, know that fact, our dimwit doesn't because his demented regious beliefs don't allow it).
Talking to a wall..
NOAA has hundreds, if not thousands of useful datasets, but they aren't the only ones. In the US, their instrumental records only go back to about 1890, but there are others, kept by the Army Surgeon's Office and Signal Corps that go back at least to the 1820s. The US Weather Bureau has some records going back to 1880. There are records from Europe going back to 1600 or so. There's the HadCrut4 dataset and its predecessors. There are sunspot records back to December 6, 1610 (Mostly British). NCDC has over 9400 proxy datasets. The National Archives have something like 600 reels of microfilms with weather data on them. The "Forts" dataset is maintained by the University of Illinois. Each national government has datasets of its own that you might use, including Autsralia.
If you don't like NOAA's, use a different one. Doesn't matter to me which one.
Because our premier is an idiot!
So now you're blaming your lack of rain on your premier.... I didn't know he could make rain.
P.S.: Make that: NOAA has tens of thousands of useful datasets.

Forgot to include records like Thomas Jefferson's diary - he was a weather nerd. We have journals of our own explorers who noted where the sand dunes were.
Also, there are several centuries-long records from ancient times involving how much water came down the Nile. One of these was a large wheel hooked to a float that recorded the water's height. Another was a set of stairs going down into the water. Priests had only to check which stair-step was under water to know how high the Nile got. They provided us with a pretty good estimate of rainfall in Ethiopia (Those stair-steps still exist, so we can calibrate ancient records with modern ones and put actual numbers on those observations.
Indian history hides record the "resting summer" in which it was so dry there was no feed for the horses. Travelers had to spend long times waiting for the horses to find enough grass to live on. That was the summer of 1855. It is confirmed by tree rings right here in Oklahoma, among other places.
And there are some tree ring records that go back 8400 years (bristlecone pines). There are two chronologies that reach all the way to the ice age and the University of Missouri is working on one for North America. New Zealand is working on one that will reach back 60,000 years when complete.
We have about 20 chronologies that go back over 2000 years. The Annals of the Four Masters is confirmed by them: 536 AD was a very bad year.
There are LOTS of records you could be using.
P.S.: The University of Florida has found a bunch of loblolly pine logs buried in mud for hundreds of years. They're working on a chronology that will tun from about 500 AD to 1500 AD.
I keep seeing on UM that climate change is a hoax so that scientists can get grants. Anybody can get a grant. You don't need to be a scientist. If you own at least 40 acres, you can get govt money to plant trees on it, or to cut trees if there are too many. You can get a tree-planting tax credit if you own at least one acre. You can get tax credits and income exemptions for installing a solar or geothermal heating system for your home. The list goes on and on for thousands of pages.
Just what do you have to do to get a scientific grant? First, I suggest you write a white paper. This is a blank proposal, written up without any specific granting agency in mind. It's good practice for when you write the real one.
Include the title, your name, granting agency, dates of grant and the total amount. That's the title page
Then the abstract: Include purpose of your project (You don't get money if you don't do a specific project.), objectives, methods, significance (how is your project going to improve the world?)
In the Introduction go into detail on the problem you are trying to solve (Why is this a problem?), Purpose, Objectives (EXACTLY what do you want to do?), significance (How the world will be better off if your project is funded), uniqueness (Why is your project different? What new features are you inventing/including?)
Literaturwe Review: the people who review your proposal will be experts in the field. They want to know that you are familiar with the field in which you are seeking funding, that you're not reinventing the wheel.
Narrative: Define the problem' restate objectives, methods, procedures, Outcomes, how you will evaluate your results and how you will disseminate your findings.
Personnel: who will work on the project? What are his qualifications?
Budget: How much money do you need? What are you going to do with it?
Having written up your white paper, get a list of funding agencies that might be interested in your project. Rewrite the entire paper to meet whatever specs are called for by the agency you will submit to.
Having done all that, you have a 25% chance of being funded, so you're probably going to be writing up the idea for a another agency. After five or six attempts, you get funded. But you don't get the money for nothing. You have to spend it the way you said you would in the grant proposal or you could have to pay it all back and/or go to jail for defrauding the Federal government. If you don't discover anything, you still have to write up a research paper saying you didn't find anything. Just try and get THAT published.
Good luck. The odds are never in your favor.

The real mystery, most familiar and at the same time most unfamiliar to every man, into which he must be initiated or perish as an atheist, is himself
According to a theory advanced on the internet, global warming is the Creator's reaction to the contraceptive pill, and the hippy's "Summer of Love". Certainly a novel proposition, that would have been beyond my capabilities to imagine.

There are small random variations in sea level, so technically, he is not lying. But he is misleading you by not telling the whole truth. And that is that ON AVERAGE, sea levels have risen, worldwide, since at least 1886.
Ice melt records and temps show strong evidence that we are in a warming trend and except for two small hiatuses (16 years and 7 years), neither long enough to consider climate change, temps have risen since 1910. Even before 1910 temps were rising, but not very fast. The low point was 1841 which was the dying gasp of the Little Ice Age. There's a local peak in 1855 which is clearly not part of the LIA, so the end of the LIA is arbitrarily set in 1850.
The Milankovitch Cycles exert a controlling effect in earth's climate WHEN THERE'S NO MAN-MADE INTERFERENCE. We are simply over-powering them by dumping carbon into the atmosphere.

The Flat Earth Climate Emergency is real, lol.
Only 500? I can find thousands. But science is not a popularity contest or up for a vote. One person can be right while everybody else is wrong. It happened in geology when the plate tectonic theory was first proposed. I heard lectures in college that attempted to debunk it.
In order to make a convincing case, you must post your evidence, an analysis of it and an explanation as to why you think things are that way.
I guess that the 150 years of dodgy sea level gauges need to be chucked out, and dodgy satellite data, that used to be legit, before NASA got at the datasets, (apart from the 25 scientists above)?
Fort Denisen, Sydney Harbour 1859 - 2006, Google images.
This has been adjusted, so elevations are exact, and no sea level rise over 150 years, (well 146), lol.
This is the Unicorn, BS that the IPCC, and most of NASA are still pushing, with fervent, idiots ready to lap it all up.
According to this we should be seeing at least a 45cm increase in ocean levels, with the above comparison but nothing?
I guess that means it is crystal clear, the science is settled, that the impending doom is for flat-Earth mentality seekers.

This is the first BS site l found, sea levels are rising at an blah, blah, blah, rate, that is true, 150 years of sea levels going from zero to a mind numbing ...um....zero, we all need to buy inflatable boats, and run from our coastlines in terror, l find it amazing that grown adults keep buying this crap, but Flat-earthers are stubborn, and insane, so l guess that explains it.
So you're going to buy an inflatable boat and run from a sea rising at one foot per century? A casual stroll would more than suffice.
How serious a given rate of rise is depends on the slope of the adjoining shore and the height of the 100-year flood. The coasts of the Red Sea and Bangladesh will move 2000 feet inland with a one-foot rise in sea level. At Mont Desert Island in Maine, nobody's going to notice - the shore is a cliff.
Yes, the Flat Earth Climate Emergency faithful are going insane trying to cover their a****, (l won't quote recent examples) which is understandable considering the 30 year, cocaine equivalent, end is nigh bender they have enjoyed, is losing ground.
Lol, Love it, the English are fed up with the Extinction Rebellion Nutcases, disrupting their lives.
Go about 5.00 minutes in, and l only hope that AU adopts this, since most of us have had enough of these nutcases.

Q: AT what level of position a person may be AT Let's say your giving an opinion about each gender's(male and female) leisure time, on how they spend their free time at weekends. And your opinion is:

"It depends on the type of job, or at what level of position a person may be at.

Or

"It depends on the type of job, or at what level of position a person may be in.

Which is the correct preposition?

A: Neither makes sense.  You only need one at in the first example and you only need one of at and in in the second.  So a better sentence might be:

It depends on the type of job, or what level a person is at.

There is another irregularity in both sentences.  It doesn't make sense to talk about the level of position someone is at.  You either talk about the level they're at or the position they're in.  Here's how I'd phrase it as a native speaker:

It depends on the job and their title.

One's title (in the context of employment) refers to one's role in the organisation, e.g. CEO, salesperson, janitor.

A: You can be at a certain level, or in a certain position, so I think either preposition would work in this particular case.
Still, I think the sentence would be improved if you eliminated the prepositions altogether:

It depends on the type of job, or the person's position level.

September marks the start of what we call "color season." From early fall through the end of the year, the color authorities that be begin to release their colors of the year, or the hues they believe will be the hottest for the upcoming year. Among the first to announce their top pick is paint manufacturer Sherwin Williams. This year, they announced Poised Taupe as their top pick. It's a pale, earthy, mink-like shade of taupe that Sherwin Williams deems "classic" and "modern" at once. While the pick may seem safe (not unlike Benjamin Moore's designated hue last year, Simple White), it's actually a bit of a departure from recent neutral paint trends, which have largely revolved around cool-toned gray. It's a change we're happy to see, after years spent hanging art on walls painted in variations of colors like"charcoal," "smoke," "cloud," and "silver." While taupe can still read gray in certain light, it's definitely a warmed-up take that's heading back in a brown, earth-tone direction.
Being that it's a neutral shade, Poised Taupe will go with many styles and colors of wall art, but not everything. According to Sherwin Williams, cornflower hues, nature-inspired palettes, vintage-y pastels, shades of wine red, and contrasting brights like yellow are the most complementary.
We perused Pinterest for the best examples of wall art done right on Poised Taupe walls (or at least shades that are similar), and here's what we found.
Keeping the wall art neutral, but high-contrast creates a bold but polished look in this living room.
We love how the gold warms up the color.
Poised Taupe makes a lovely backdrop for a collection of vintage-style art and prints.
Here, a bright shade of blue is a beautiful complement.
How lovely does a greige shade look against bright white? The yellow in the abstract painting below adds just the right amount of color.
Another example of a neutral palette, this time made with antique plates.
We love the variations of beige, brown and white found in the beautiful impressionist style painting hanging over this mantle.
A gorgeous collection of artwork in muted hues feels like a natural choice.
And finally, a simple white arrangement has French-county appeal.
Which is your favorite version of the look?
Instead of choosing a typical, hard to stick-to New Year's resolution for 2016–losing weight, getting fit, earning more money–we'd like to suggest something a little more fun, and with potential to impact your life every bit as positively as your self-improvement goals: making your home a true reflection of you, and a place you love to spend time. Not only will having a beautiful home boost your mood on a daily basis, it might even help you save money (a great New Year's goal!), since you won't be dying to leave your dated, ugly space all the time.
According to Feng Shui, one statement piece is better than a gallery wall. Image via One King's Lane.
If you're on board, consider your first step re-evaluating the wall art your currently have hanging up, and then putting the below tips to the test.
Vow to eliminate bare walls. Bare walls are for hospital rooms and asylums, and they'll give your home a similar institutional feel that's anything but warm and welcoming. If you've been procrastinating because you can't figure out how to hang your art, hire some help. Or, if expenses are the case, take to Pinterest, where you'll find thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of DIY wall art on the cheap.
Consider a Feng Shui overhaul. If your walls are currently occupied with paintings, photos, and mirrors galore but something still feels off, try re-arranging them according to the principles of Feng Shui. For example: the wall art in each space should reflect its usage. Which means your energetic, brightly colored works might be better suited for entertaining spaces, while soft, soothing pieces will work perfectly in the bedroom. Another idea: try cleaning up your gallery walls. Feng shui considers clutter a no-no and balance to be key, so rearrange your art so that there's an equal ratio of art to wall space.
Make room for what you love. Just because you bought a piece of art at some point in your life doesn't mean you have to hang it. The only things on your walls should be things you truly love to look at, and that are a reflection of your style and the style of your decor. If you're over a piece you have hanging up, give yourself permission to toss it, sell it, or replace it with something else. Life's too short for ugly art!

Cleft Lip and Palate Affect Baby's Development Negatively
15/12/2021 GENERAL, Health, Life
Üsküdar University NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital Language and Speech Therapist Ayşegül Yılmaz evaluated cleft lip and palate. Cleft lip and palate, defined as an opening in only the upper lip, only the palate, or both, negatively affects the growth and development of the baby. Stating that cleft repair is done with surgical interventions, experts said, "Hearing, language, speech and nutrition disorders can be seen in those with cleft lip and palate." warns.
Occurs in the third month of pregnancy
Stating that cleft lip and palate (DDY) is an opening in only the upper lip, only the palate or both, Speech and Language Therapist Ayşegül Yılmaz said, "The structures of the lip in the second month of pregnancy and the palate in the third month of pregnancy unite. In cases where this union does not occur properly, cleft lip, cleft palate or cleft lip-palate occur. There are anatomically all structures in DDY, but these structures are not fused as they should be and are smaller than they should normally be." said.
Smoking and alcohol use can be effective
Language and Speech Therapist Ayşegül Yılmaz said, "Although the exact cause of cleft lip and palate is not known, it is caused by genetic and environmental factors (especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, smoking/alcohol use, exposure to viruses, some drugs used, etc.) and sometimes it occurs due to a syndrome. " he said.
Hearing, language, speech and nutrition disorders can be seen
Stating that cleft lip and/or palate clefts are repaired with surgical interventions, Yılmaz said, "Hearing, language, speech and nutritional disorders can be seen in those with cleft lip and palate. Speech and language therapists play a role in monitoring feeding and swallowing in infants with CLP from the very first moment. It follows the development of communication, language and speech in the future and intervenes in the problems that may be seen in these areas." he said.
Pay attention to feeding problems
Expressing that the first area to be addressed in a baby with NDD is nutrition, Speech and Language Therapist Ayşegül Yılmaz said, "Babies may have difficulty grasping the breast or bottle, and may not be able to provide the intraoral pressure necessary for sucking. The milk or food taken during feeding may get into the baby's nose, and they may swallow more air while feeding. Babies who are fed in an inappropriate position may have problems with the middle ear. warned.
Baby's growth may be affected
Stating that babies who have difficulty in sucking take a long time to feed, they spend the energy they receive while feeding with effort, Yılmaz said, "These problems may affect the baby's weight gain and growth. In order to ensure the growth and development of the baby, it is important to regulate the feeding position, duration and frequency and to choose the appropriate feeding equipment. In some cases, feeding apparatuses that will close the cleft and regulate suction and nutrition until the surgery, or palate-nose shaping apparatus used to reduce the width of the cleft and shape the nose are also applied. he said.
Language and speech problems may occur
Speech and Language Therapist Ayşegül Yılmaz said that in the absence of an additional disability/syndrome, middle ear infection, and hearing loss, no delay in language development is expected in individuals with DDY.
Pointing out that speech sounds may be produced incorrectly due to anatomical differences in children who have not undergone palate repair, Language and Speech Therapy Specialist Ayşegül Yılmaz said:
"It is seen that speech sounds continue after palate repair due to anatomical problems or incorrect learning. In the production of speech sounds, the soft palate and the posterior and lateral walls of the pharynx act together, directing the air from the lungs to the mouth or nose for sound formation.
When this mechanism does not work properly in individuals with DDY, air escapes into the nose in the sounds that should come out of the mouth. In this case, the speech becomes nasal. Due to the inability to provide sufficient pressure for the formation of sounds in the mouth, due to the extraction of speech sounds from the posterior regions (larynx) and cleft in the roof of the mouth, faulty production is observed. It is among the disorders that can be seen that the sounds that should come out of the nose as a result of stenosis or blockages in the nasal cavity resemble mouth sounds.
Speech therapy priority in functional disorders
Noting that the priority for speech disorders arising from anatomical structures is surgical intervention, while speech therapy is the priority for functional disorders, Yılmaz said, "Language and speech therapists follow individuals with CLP from infancy to adulthood. While providing support in the form of nutritional interventions and family information in the early period, they perform one-to-one therapies in the future." he said.

Q: Can integration tests be run asynchronously with Maven? Because I work at a company with lots and lots of computers, I find it to be a little ironic that it takes half an hour to cut a release of the latest version of our software.
The bottleneck seems to be integration tests run by Maven, and the cause of the bottleneck is because those integration tests seem to want to be run sequentially.  There isn't any real reason for them to be run in order, other than the fact that they're lots of Cucumber tests run against a single database that has to be set up and torn down for every feature.
So, my question is, how do we fail faster with Maven?


This beautiful ex-display Bronze Pineapple Lamp with silk shade would make a great feature lamp in any interior and is available to purchase today.

National Socialism:
I once managed to read a few pages into Mein Kampf, the autobiography of the odious Adolf Hitler. He started by saying that as a child he raised the question of why all Germans didn't live together in the same country. The concept of everyone in a country being members of the same social group is National Socialism, and the proponents were called Nazi's. Many people must find them fascinating since television carries a lot of programs about them.
In 1954, the United States Supreme Court handed down a decision Brown vs Board of education that declared "separate but equal" was unconstitutional, thus ending legal racial segregation of public schools in the United States. The phrase was not their own invention. It goes back at least to 1869. Notice that the concept was not declared illegal. It was declared unconstitutional. That meant that no law creating segregation could be passed no matter how many people might want it. Building on success, the Civil Right Movement pressed the policy that segregation could not exist in fact any more than it could exist in law.
Since this is the supreme law of the land, its advantages need no discussion. But look how odd this is. Hitler was not ten years sizzling in molten brimstone before a national society was declared for the United States. I think the issue was the word "but." The words "and" and "but" are logically the same. Their implications are different. Both mean that two connected statements are true. The "and" word suggests that there is no expected conflict between the two. The "but" word suggests that there is an inherent conflict although both statements remain true. Since just about all of us agree that equality is the intention of American society, that word "but" spells trouble.
Consider then the phrase "separate and equal." That would not imply an inherent problem. Yet a problem was perceived.
The only interpretation I can make of the judgment is that separation is as illegal as inequality. American society cannot be partitioned, cannot be divided, cannot exist as a set of independent components. In short, alas, we are a national society, we are by law National Socialists. You can stop worrying about this country being taken over by Nazis. It happened two generations ago. You are permitted no significant secular loyalty other than to the state and to the state society.
Perhaps I should not be surprised. Other Nazi innovations are accepted among us. The national free, limited access, fast highway system was their invention with a small fuel efficient car to run on it. They worked on the atom bomb. The long endurance submarine was theirs fist. The ballistic missile was deployed by them. Their Enigma Cipher Machine was a desktop information processor. (I wonder if anyone has figured out how to turn it into a general purpose computer.) Rapid deployment, rapid advance, deception and overwhelming firepower, blitzkrieg in short, was their invention and has been found to work for us. Close in air support we use. Extremely accurate aerial bombardment, strategic bombing and the jet fighter we adopted from them. Their flying wing became our stealth fighter and bomber. The national society is only one of a number of things they dreamt up that we take as matters of course.
Our own national society is quite different. The German regime was replete with horrors. There were assassinations, storm trooper turned against civilians and death camps. But if you look closely you may be able to see in our own culture the shadow of the black glove.
There was the tragedy named Ruby Ridge. You can look it up in Wikipedia. It involves a man named Randy Weaver who had extreme political views and in effect did not wish to be part of the national society. This led to a series of events including a government sniper shooting his wife dead in the door of their cabin where she stood with her baby in her arms. It is now agreed that the government's actions were excessive.
There was another tragedy near Waco, Texas. The pattern looks similar. People who do not seem to have been happy with being part of the national society were targeted by government agents, and according to the Wikipedia article the government did not look good in the ensuing mayhem.
A third group that seems to have opted out of American society was the Jonestown congregation. They described themselves as socialists and communist and were fleeing what they perceived as fascism in the United States when they withdrew to Guyana, about a thousand of them, to open a commune there. This time the United States government seems to have comported itself as well as possible under the circumstances. None the less it led to a mass suicide that has been called the biggest loss of civilian American life barring natural disasters before the World Trade Center attack of September 11, 2001.
I think the moral is that even if you think we have a National Socialist regime, opting out is not a good strategy. Unless you do it very tactfully.
Storm troopers against civilians, what about that? I am somewhat hard pressed to come up with a German example. Maybe the SS would qualify. And in the United States it turns out that it seemed appropriate to President Eisenhower to send paratroopers to Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce the Supreme Court judgment. Perhaps that was the best choice, but when you are looking for traces of Nazi mentality, it does make you a little queasy.
The Germans had death camps. I have spoken with survivors. The camps were every bit as terrible and sadistic as you think. We used to hear about Jews being burned alive in those camps. That happened at least once. There was a camp where people were being forced to work at making fuel for the V2 rocket. It was terribly dangerous, and when the inevitable fire broke out people burned. It is not very important that the immediate cause was an American air raid. The fault lay with the people who set it up. Perhaps it would have been possible to start the bombing in such way that the factory could have been evacuated. We did not do that during the Gulf War, but the situation was different; they were not slave labor in the Gulf war.
There have been death camp activities in America. The Andersonville prison in South Carolina saw captured Union soldiers starving. It was not intentional, but it happened. And there was a Union prisoner of war camp where Confederate captives were indeed deliberately starved to death.
Of course I do not make any suggestion that there is any moral equivalence between the German Nazi crimes and our own national society. It may be that once you go there, you are under similar pressures however well you manage them. You can mange them adequately.
But the problem with a national society is not only the dark events that result from the use of force. The greater harm is that a social group is more than an economic, legal and psychological phenomenon. It is a biological reality. It means that people take mates at random within the nation rather than having as a prime loyalty their own close circle. And that is where biology strikes unseen. Silently, slowly the laws of genetics gradually reduce the fertility of any social group as large as a nation. Other problems arise, but they can be dealt with. If there are no babies, there is nothing to be done.


Edited: February 6, 2019. The included code also works with the TinyMCE 5 Stable release.
I've been using TinyMCE for years – I think if I look back in my code history, v2, maybe even v1. And it's such a brilliant WYSIWYG editor.
I've spent a few days this week playing with the Release Candidate for TinyMCE 5, and specifically looking at how my old v3/v4 plugins can work within the new framework.
v2 to v3 improved the user interface. v3 to v4 really improved the user interface. And now v5 takes it even further.
TinyMCE now feels modern and integrated in with the rest of the page's interface. The icons (as coloured images, aka old school Word) are long gone, and now have a very clean and simple interface.
It has been great to see the evolution of mobile browser support and the user experience on these devices. Its responsiveness and access on touch devices – be that a small screen phone or a larger tablet – is now feeling intuitive and natural on a mobile device. Brilliant!
v5 feels, looks and behaves beautifully.
The biggest issue here is the last point – iframes. I do use one third party plugin that provides its core functionality through an iframe. This means the plugin needs to be re-written to use v5's API to function – and that will take time.
Even though that's an issue, there's also a silver lining. It means any Dialog-based plugins will now also be more consistent in their user interface, and utilise the same styling, modularity and accessibility as the core v5 library. So that's actually a good thing.
The UI Components documentation for TinyMCE 5 is superb – go and take a read – you'll learn so much about how the new Dialog components are built (and what they can do).
Let's start with the basics. I needed to make sure my plug in was working correctly within TinyMCE 5.
Best spot to start is to look at the source code for the provided plugins – I think "code" is a good starting point given its simplicity. Looking at the uncompiled code shows its modularisation – you could go to that level too, but for the sake of getting a simple plugin started, we're going to keep it just that – simple.
Creating a Plugin is very similar to TinyMCE 4 – so that's good – but there's been a minor change to how buttons and menu items are added to the toolbar and menu respectively.
editor.addButton has been replaced with editor.ui.registry.addButton.
editor.addMenuItem has been replaced with editor.ui.registry.addMenuItem.
Besides that, everything from the TinyMCE 4 plugin remains the same. Trivial. Easy. Here's where we are now.
Personally, I don't use the menu, so if you don't either, you could leave out the addMenuItem call.
One thing to note here though is the _onAction function.
I've defined the function separately so that both addButton and addMenuItem can both call the same function. I don't want to define the behaviour twice, so just making it easier here.
When you get it running in TinyMCE 5, and trigger the plug in, the new paragraph from the _onAction call gets added to the editor.
So now that we have a Plugin correctly working in TinyMCE 5, and running as we expect, let's take it further and create a Dialog using the new UI components of TinyMCE 5.
Dialogs have a really come a long way in TinyMCE. When I first wrote my first Plugin, there was lots of trial and error due to a lack of easy to process documentation. It felt a bit "hacky" at times, but ultimately did work.
TinyMCE 5's Dialog documentation is superb. Read it. If you're making a Plugin with a Dialog, you must read it.
Rather than rehash the documentation, let's extend the first example and have a Dialog appear with a Select box element.
Each Dialog needs a title, a body definition, and an array of buttons. We can do that, easy.
We're just creating a basic Dialog, so our foundation for the Body will be a Panel. TabPanel is the other – but let's keep it simple still.
When we declare our Body and Panel, we need an array of Items. In this example, we are simply going to have a single Select box.
We also need an array of buttons – one to close the Dialog, and one to Insert – check out the docs for configuring these – simple stuff.
We've also got an onSubmit function there – this is triggered with the button of type "submit" is hit.
All we need to do is update our _onAction function to open the Dialog.
Running the Plugin, we get a Dialog with a single Select box. Clicking "Insert" inserts the appropriate paragraph in the editor based on the selected item.
One of my big requirements is being able to update the Dialog components after instantiation.
Use case: I need the Select box to contain a list of items pulled from the server.
This is where it felt incredibly hacky with TinyMCE 4. In 4, the onPostRender option for an Item meant I could grab a hold of the item's instance, and could then update its state and data. It worked but was never clearly documented.
In TinyMCE 5, onPostRender has been depreciated, so how can I get the Item?
Reading the documentation, I was not really sure how to do this – and part of the reason I've written this post – to help others. I contacted the support team who were amazing at providing input and pointing me in the right direction – and explaining some of the new Dialog API's options.
In the docs, the "Dialog instance API" has the details.
Basically you can't access the item's instance directly any more, and this is by design. The Dialog API provides a "redial" method that re-creates the Dialog. This means you need to pass the configuration to the "redial" method, and it can re-create the Dialog seamlessly.
This also then shows us "block" and "unblock" methods. These are incredibly useful to prevent user input while the server-side call is taking place. We can "block" before the call is made, and then when completed, "redial" then "unblock" and we have update items in the Select box.
But… I love to make things easier (and write less code), so basically the issue now is to enable both the windowManager.open and redial calls to use the same base configuration. Given the size of the configuration object, I don't want to have to replicate that multiple times.
What I have done is grabbed the dialog instance, and dynamically updated the configuration object, so that any time I call redial, it's able to use this always-up-to-date configuration.
In other words, a simple function - _getDialogConfig - includes the Dialog configuration, which also references a variable - _typeOptions – which is an Array and stores the options I want to appear in the Select box.
I can then update _typeOptions, and call redial on the Dialog and pass the config by calling _getDialogConfig and suddenly we have the config defined once, but able to be easily updated.
Given a real server-side call requires a backend, I've simulated a call in this example just using a timeout. It gets to show you the "block" behaviour, and the updating of the Select box without needing a server.
An array of options to appear in the "Type" select box.
The UI components are consistent with what TinyMCE 5 provides, it remains accessible, and just feels good.
Well, I feel good at least.
TinyMCE 3 and 4 both made it pretty straight forward to add additional icons to buttons. It was trivial to create a font of your icons (Icomoon is awesome for this) and include the styles with a smidge of "mce" declarations to trigger the right icons. Easy.
TinyMCE 5 now uses SVG icons. And the developers have provided an API function to add additional SVG icons for use within TinyMCE. This function is currently missing in the documentation, but does work as expected.
There is a smartly named "addIcon" method that does just that – you provide a name, and some SVG data to use for the icon.
Getting this to function as expected was a bit of trial and error, but think I have found a handy way to add multiple icons by linking to a single external SVG that contains all of my extra icons.
To do this, I need my SVG file first. I do love icomoon, so found a few suitable icons, and downloaded the SVG versions of these, and created a single file that included them all.
The idea here is to create a <symbol> definition for each of your icons, including the path data. Take note of the ID used for each (we'll use this next), as well as the viewBox – your SVG should tell you this. From icomoon, it does vary – sometimes 512 x 512, but a few 576 x 512. Just set the right numbers so your icons don't get cropped.
This has defined our two icons – we can now reference them using "bubbles" and "books", and each SVG data is pointing to our custom icon SVG, and referencing each symbol.
This means we can create many icons in one SVG (and one HTTP request), rather than embedding them in the JS file itself. Obviously it depends on your plugin, how you want to work, and whether it is worth it, but given I have a number of plugins, and therefore a number of icons, this is perfect.
We can now specify the icon when we call the "addButton" call.
So let's take a look at the finished demo.
Note: for demonstrating the demo on mobile devices, I've forced the desktop theme to be used.
While saying goodbye to iframes is bad (but also good), the new UI components in TinyMCE 5 create an accessible and consistent user experience. And that's a massive plus.
Being able to continue to use custom icons as well as dynamically updating fields within the Dialog after instantiation is an absolute must for me - and it's been great to get my head around 5's API.
Hopefully this has helped you get your head around some of the changes introduced with TinyMCE 5.

PROPOSAL NUMBER: 08-1 X13.01-9762
SUBTOPIC TITLE: Active Charged Particle and Neutron Radiation Measurement Technologies
PROPOSAL TITLE: TEPC Microdosimeter for LEO and Beyond
LVI Systems Inc.
West Richland, WA 99353 - 5207
Thomas J. Conroy
tom@lvisystems.com
A new generation of Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPCs) for micro-dosimetric measurements will be designed, incorporating recent advances in the electronics industry and a new detector configuration. The unit is projected to be 2.5x4.5x1 in, weigh less than 8 oz, and consume less than 100 mW of power.
A detector configuration of thirteen half-inch spheres arranged in a 2-D array will be used - twelve connected together to form an equivalent spherical 1.74-inch diameter detector for measuring low fluence environments, and the thirteenth detector connected independently allowing measurements during high fluence periods when the larger detector would saturate (such as during solar particle events).
The new electronics will continuously convert the detector data at 1 Mhz. Digital methods will allow both the setting of any threshold and the determination of event peaks, and allow more sophisticated signal processing to be used to reduce noise and eliminate micro-phonics. In addition, a bi-processing method of analyzing the detector signals will allow determination of dose by both integration method and peak method which can then be analyzed to provide accurate total dose readings for the events from the threshold to below 0.05 keV/micron. The spectra below several kev/micron is important as it can contain up to 40% of the total dose.
The detector filled with pure propane will simulate a 2 micron site size. Two spectra will be stored each minute, and total integrated dose, dose above threshold, dose equivalent dead-time will be provided every second. The spectra will have 2048 channels at 1 keV/micron for each channel, to a maximum of 2047 keV/micron. The threshold for peak detection and analysis can be set anywhere from 0.4 to 20 keV/micron. The unit will be capable of measurement ranging from less than 100 nGy/hr to over 100 mGy/hr.
Accurate monitoring of radiation exposure levels are required in order to access health risks, and to help limit exposures levels to an acceptable risk. Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPC) have been used as a critical part of these measurements on the Space Shuttle and on the International Space Station (ISS) for many years. The current design has a number of technical limitations which should be improved for future missions, as well as the size and power consumption being reduced by updating the design with modern smaller, lower power electronics. The smaller, lower power, more capable TEPCs would satisfy the requirements of the upcoming Exploration class missions, and other human activities in space. This new TEPC design, or variants of it, will allow more extensive monitoring, not only in existing habitats such as ISS, but also in future habitats in space as well as on the moon and potentially Mars.
The miniaturized TEPC being proposed would be valuable to several mainstream industries. The nuclear industry and the commercial launch vehicle industry would both have a need for this type of personal radiation monitoring. Also, monitoring the radiation environment on high-flying military and commercial aircraft could be done with this smaller less expensive unit that currently available HAWK unit. The accelerator industry, as well as all other industries that have regulatory requirements for radiation monitoring (especially neutron radiation and mixed fields), would be potential applications for this new TEPC.

Pretty plain & simple. Just looking to trade a loose DOTM Voyager class Shockwave. It is complete, only transformed a few times... Might even be able to find instructions if you want. I'm primarily looking for a DOTM Voyager Megatron. If you don't have one, but are still willing to trade something, let me know what you have and I'll consider, although I really have my heart set on the Megatron listed above.
Will only trade with someone who has either good TFW and/or eBay feedback. You can check both of mine out, there will be no worries on your end from it. Thanks!

DaimlerChrysler Aims to Save $3 Billion With New Method of Launching Models
A WSJ.com News Roundup
Updated June 8, 2000 5:22 pm ET
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- DaimlerChrysler AG said Thursday a change in its manufacturing process will help save more than $3 billion on product launches over the next four years.
Under a process called "rolling launch," the company aims to eliminate "down time" by building, testing and launching new vehicle models on the same assembly line where current models are being manufactured. Work on the new model increases slowly so that down time and volume loss are minimized during the new product changeover.


Showers and thunderstorms that may disrupt travel, dampen outdoor plans and become locally heavy and gusty will sweep through the southern United States early this week.
The same storm that triggered severe weather to end the weekend from Missouri to Texas will affect the Southeast into Monday night.
"Expect extensive shower and thunderstorm coverage with this storm as it moves eastward, but the threat for widespread severe weather will be low in the Southeast," AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Max Vido said.
Showers and storms will slowly spread southeastward through the region.
Why are hailstorms most common in spring?

The Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) is a member agency of the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (SFCJPA), which is leading a project to protect East Palo Alto and Palo Alto from flooding along San Francisquito Creek between San Francisco Bay and U.S. Highway 101. These communities are at high risk of severe flooding from flows coming down the creek, particularly during high tides. Improving this stretch of about one and a half miles of San Francisquito Creek constitutes the necessary first step in an overall plan to provide more than 5,700 homes and businesses with creek flood protection during extreme tides and after sea levels rise two feet.
Visit sfcjpa.org for comprehensive information on the project and adjoining projects related to the creek and Bay shoreline protection, restoration and trail enhancement.
Start FY 2010/ Finish FY 2019
Safe, Clean Water Fund ($28 million for the District share only)
Construction of Bay-to-Highway 101 Project Status
The construction of flood protection features along San Francisquito Creek that began in 2016 are now complete with major work elements installed, including floodwalls and a significantly wider creek marsh plain. We are continuing work outside the creek channel, including the final phase of installing native vegetation.
Trails and Friendship Bridge are now re-opened
While trails are now re-opened, please keep in mind that some finishing touches to the trails and adjacent areas will be addressed after January 1, 2019. Some work may necessitate temporary closures of certain portions of trails in Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. Upcoming changes will be noted on this site and via project update emails. Sign up for project update notices.
Palo Alto trails:
East Bayshore Road to Geng Road: Re-opened
Geng Road to Friendship Bridge: Re-opened
Friendship Bridge to the Bay: Re-opened
East Palo Alto trails:
East Bayshore Road to Verbena Drive: Intermittent closure
Verbena Drive to Friendship Bridge: Intermittent closure
North of Friendship Bridge: Re-opened
East San Francisquito Creek Trail Intermittent Closure
The San Francisquito Creek JPA's Bay to Highway 101 Project has completed construction of the flood protection features, and the last push to complete the project entails finishing work on trails and vegetation planting.
Crews will lay base rock on the pathway from Verbena Drive to Daphne Way and make other grading improvements to the new trail behind the new flood wall. This work will necessitate intermittent trail closures in East Palo Alto from East Bayshore Road to the O'Connor Street entrance. The detour route runs from East Bayshore Road, to Pulgas Avenue extending to O'Connor Street. Please see map below.
Work is scheduled from January 28 to February 8, 2019 from 7 am. – 5 pm., Monday through Friday. This segment of the trail will be re-opened as soon as work is completed.
For your safety, please adhere to all trail signage and fencing.
SFC JPA Celebration of Safety Event on December 14 - First phase of Flood Protection Completed
More than 100 community leaders, elected officials and agency staff braved the rain on Friday, December 14, to celebrate the completion of flood protection improvements on a key section of San Francisquito Creek.
The project is not yet complete; however, the flood protection aspect is finished. There is improved access to trails and existing marsh habitat. A "horizontal levee," also known as a "living levee," slopes more gradually than a typical levee, creates a more natural, gradual transition from the levee to the adjacent marsh. As the sea level rises, the levee will adapt and continue to provide flood protection.
Other improvements include a beautiful boardwalk extension to the popular Friendship Bridge, which will soon be open for use. Also, Caltrans replaced the U.S. 101 bridge to allow for more storm water to flow under the freeway.
Santa Clara Valley Water District Board Member and San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority Chair Gary Kremen said, "It gives me great pleasure to say that this project, from the Bay to Highway 101, which will protect the most vulnerable neighbors of San Francisquito Creek, is now complete. That's a statement decades in the making."
"We're not done," Kremen added. "This is just one part of the creek that we fixed. The next part, we're going to be working upstream. You have to do downstream before you do upstream. Things like Pope-Chaucer Bridge, Newell Bridge. Areas within the creek. So we have a lot of work to do on this. It's all been about partnerships."
A broad range of distinguished guests spoke at the event: U.S. Representative Jackie Speier, State Senator Jerry Hill, East Palo Alto Mayor Lisa Gauthier, Palo Alto Mayor Liz Kniss, former East Palo Alto Mayor Ruben Abrica, Anne Morkill of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, local resident Dennis Parker, and San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority Executive Director Len Materman.
The $44.5 million construction cost of the Bay to Highway 101 phase of the overall project was funded by Valley Water and many of its partners. Valley Water's Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, a voter approved 2012 special parcel tax, provided more than $28 million of the construction funding. Additional funding came from nearly $11.9 million in state grants, along with a combined total of approximately $4.5 million coming from our partner agencies: the San Mateo County Flood Control District and the cities of East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, and Menlo Park.
Because this creek crosses through several city and county jurisdictions, a JPA was formed in 1999, following the devastating flood of 1998. The five members are Santa Clara Valley Water District, the San Mateo County Flood Control District, and the cities of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and East Palo Alto.
These communities are at high risk of severe flooding from flows coming down the creek, particularly during high tides. Improving this stretch of about one and a half miles of San Francisquito Creek constitutes the necessary first step in an overall plan to provide more than 5,700 homes and businesses with creek flood protection during extreme tides and after sea levels rise two feet.
While the flood protection improvements are in place, work continues on environmental enhancements within the adjacent Faber Marsh. New native vegetation will be installed to provide habitat to the salt marsh harvest mouse and Ridgway's rail.
The next phase of the project is Upstream of Highway 101. Similar to the first phase, the project will provide 1% (or 100-year) flood protection, ecosystem protection, and recreational benefits. The work being done to the Upstream of Highway 101 will remedy channel constrictions and modify bridges at Newell Road and Pope/Chaucer Street. It will include a combination of: modifications to the University Avenue and Middlefield Road bridges; upstream detention; underground bypass channels; and floodwalls, that could potentially be built. Both the SFC JPA and the U.S. Army Corporation of Engineers are actively working together to develop an environmental documentation that will result in the locally preferred plan.

Environmental & Community Benefits
The San Francisquito Creek Flood Protection Project is being implemented in two segments: from the Bay to Highway 101 (downstream), and upstream of Highway 101 (upstream). Once both segments are completed, the project will provide the following benefits.
Key Performance Indicators for the Safe, Clean Water Program
Preferred project with federal, state and local funding: Protect more than 3,000 parcels by providing 1% flood protection.
With state and local funding only: Protect approximately 3,000 parcels from flooding (100-year protection downstream of Highway 101, and approximately 30-year protection upstream of Highway 101).
Provides 1% flood protection for approximately 3,000 homes and businesses in Palo Alto
Reduces bank erosion and sedimentation-related impacts along San Francisquito Creek
Provides new or improved habitats for endangered species
Enhances recreational opportunities for the community
Leverages dollars via cost-shares and grants from the state Department of Water Resources and the California Department of Transportation
Geographic Area of Benefit
Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Menlo Park
Construction began in June 2016 and is expected to be complete in early 2019, with most of the work limited to June through January to protect endangered species in the area.
The San Francisco Bay to Highway 101 project includes excavating decades of sediment build up in the channel, new floodwalls where private property constrains the channel, widening the channel by building a new levee through the Palo Alto Golf Course, and rebuilding the existing levee adjacent to East Palo Alto homes.
The following activities have been or are nearing completion:
Install approximately 2,800 feet of steel sheet pile floodwall along the south side of the creek between Geng Road and East Bayshore Road in Palo Alto.
Install approximately 2,000 feet of steel sheet pile floodwall along the north side of the creek between Daphne Way and East Bayshore Road in East Palo Alto.
Increase the creek flow capacity by widening the creek and creating new marshland, and excavate sediment within the creek channel
Construct a new, safer PG&E gas transmission pipeline and East Palo Alto Sanitary District sewer line under the creek
The following activities are in progress and upcoming:
Import soil and build portions of the new levees.
Work on the Friendship Bridge extension.
Install environmental enhancements within Faber Marsh.
Plan for the in-channel work that will begin in June 2018.
*Note: These are the projected activities based on the contractor's current schedule and may change throughout the course of the year.
Flooding History
San Francisquito Creek is one of the last continuous riparian corridors on the San Francisco Peninsula, and is also home to 1 of the few remaining viable steelhead trout runs. The creek can cause severe flood damage with very little warning and has overflowed 7 times since 1910.
During the February 1998 El Niño event, record flooding caused an estimated $28 million in damages in Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park. More than 1,100 homes were flooded in Palo Alto, and Highway 101 was closed, as were numerous other roadways. The largest flood on record prior to 1998 occurred in December of 1955 when the creek overtopped its banks in several locations, inundating about 1,200 acres of commercial and residential property. Damages were estimated at nearly $2 million in 1956 dollars. Total damages from a 1% flood event are estimated at $300 million in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, as calculated by the USACE in 2011.
About the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program
In November 2012 the voters of Santa Clara County overwhelmingly approved Measure B, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, as a countywide special parcel tax for 15 years with a sunset date of June 30, 2028. This Program replaced the Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Plan, which voters approved in November 2000.
The Safe, Clean Water Program was developed with input from more than 16,000 residents and stakeholders and was created to match the community's needs and values. The voters of Santa Clara County identified five priorities:
Each year, the District prepares a report providing a progress update for each of these Program priorities, along with fiscal year accomplishments.
To ensure transparency and accountability to the voters, the ballot measure also created an Independent Monitoring Committee, appointed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors. The Independent Monitoring Committee [link to IMC page] annually reviews the Program's progress to ensure the outcomes are achieved in a cost-efficient manner and reports its findings to the Board.
In addition, the Program requires three independent audits, the first of which was conducted in FY 2017.
View the Safe, Clean Water Program's annual reports, annual IMC audit reports, and independent audits, including a staff response, on the District website.

Rollover has for long been a major safety concern for trucks, and will be even more so as automated driving is envisaged to becoming a key element of future mobility. A natural way to address rollover is to extend the capabilities of current active-safety systems with a system that intervenes by steering or braking actuation when there is a risk of rollover. Assessing and predicting the rollover is usually performed using rollover indices calculated either from lateral acceleration or lateral load transfer. Since these indices are evaluated based on different physical observations it is not obvious how they can be compared or how well they reflect rollover events in different situations.
In this paper we investigate the implication of the above mentioned rollover indices in different critical maneuvers for a heavy 8×4 twin-steer truck. The analysis is based on optimal control applied to a five degrees of freedom chassis model with individual wheel dynamics and high-fidelity tire-force modeling. Driving scenarios prone to rollover accidents are considered, with a circular-shaped turn and a slalom maneuver being studied in-depth. The optimization objective for the considered maneuvers are formulated as minimum-time and maximum entry-speed problems, both triggering critical maneuvers and forcing the vehicle to operate on the limit of its physical capabilities. The implication of the rollover indices on the optimal trajectories is investigated by constraining the optimal maneuvers with different rollover indices, thus limiting the vehicle's maneuvering envelope with respect to each rollover index. The resulting optimal trajectories constrained by different rollover indices are compared and analyzed in detail. Additionally, the conservativeness of the indices for assessing the risk of rollovers are discussed.

Aztecs football notebook: Hoke 'not at liberty' to name starting quarterback
San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke is faced with an uncertain quarterback situation again this week.
(K.C. Alfred / The San Diego Union-Tribune)
San Diego State still considering three QBs heading into Mountain West game against Colorado State
By Kirk Kenney
San Diego State's truncated schedule combined with the passing struggles of SDSU's quarterbacks has the Aztecs on pace to throw for their fewest yards in 58 years.
SDSU is averaging 141.8 yards a game passing, which equates to 1,135 yards over eight games (1,276 if a bowl game is included).
A deep dive in the record book back to 1962 is needed to find a lower total.
The Aztecs passed for 1,018 yards (101.8 per game) that season. They went 8-2 that year because of a running attack that produced 231.7 yards a game.
That mark stood until the ground and pound teams from 2015-17 rushed for 233.3, 262.9 and 252.5 yards a game, respectively.
SDSU's four lowest passing totals in the Division I era (since 1969): 1,371 (1976, 124.6 ypg, 11 games); 1,616 (1998, 146.9 ypg, 11 games) ; 1,804 (2006, 150.3 ypg, 12 games); 1,920 (2017, 147.7 ypg, 13 games).
SDSU's four highest passing totals in the DI era: 4,302 (2002, 330.9 ypg, 13 games); 4,086 (1990, 371.5 ypg, 11 games; 3,990 (1987, 332.5 ypg, 12 games); 3,840 (2010, 295.4 ypg, 13 games).
How the passing game fares in this week's contest against Colorado State (1-2) remains the team's biggest question mark.
The availability of starting quarterback Lucas Johnson (hamstring), who missed last week's game against Colorado, remains unknown. At least publicly.
SDSU head coach Brady Hoke was asked during Tuesday's weekly Zoom call with the media if Johnson is going to start against the Rams.
"I'm not at liberty to say anything about that yet," Hoke said. "So the answer is, I'm not sure yet."
So, like last week, backups Carson Baker (4-for-9, 26 yards against Colorado) and Jordon Brookshire (7-for-19, 50 yards, 1 INT) are in the mix at the position.
"We're going through that same process (as last week), a little bit," said Hoke, searching for something that would provide more productivity at the position. "It's been very frustrating. The guys are working hard at it, believe me. They're doing their due diligence of studying the opponent, studying the game. . ...
"It takes all 11. It's not all on the quarterback, believe me. That's just the position that gets highlighted. We're going to keep working forward with all three of them."
Running back situation
SDSU's running back situation, like QB, also remains unresolved.
It hinges on the improvement of senior Greg Bell's right ankle, which was sprained two weeks ago at Nevada and sidelined Bell against the Buffaloes.
"It always improves," Hoke said. "We've done a pretty good job. Our trainers have. He has. He's invested a lot of time getting treatments. ... As we move forward, it gets better every day and, hopefully, it feels real good on Saturday."
There is greater depth, of course, on the team at running back than at quarterback, with Kaegun Williams, Chance Bell and Jordan Byrd prepared to carry on.
"Hopefully, Greg's in that mix," Hoke said.
Rested Rams?
Hoke expects the Rams, who will have gone 23 days between games by the time they take the field on Saturday, to be tanned, rested and ready against the Aztecs.
Well, at least rested.
"So it's going to be a fresh team," he said. "I would believe that, that they're going to be fresh."
That's not the way Colorado State head coach Steve Addazio tells it. During his coach's radio show on Monday night, Addazio said: It's not like, 'Oh, you've been off, you're going to be really healthy.' Well, no, because we're contact traced and everything else. We'll be going out there (with a) skeleton crew."
Colorado State's past two games — against UNLV and at Air Force — were canceled because of COVID-19 issues, first with the Rebels, then with the Rams.
Hoke figures the CSU coaching staff has used the time off to some advantage.
"I'm sure that they've looked at some things in self scouting that they may want to try or do," he said. "I think that's part of it. When you have so much time as a coach, you get a little bored if you're not trying to do some different things."
Are there any advantages for the Aztecs in playing a team that hasn't played in three weeks?
"I don't know if I know the answer to that," Hoke said. "You get a little time if you're not playing to heal up, get guys healthy, because we all have guys that are beat up ... a little bit of your game speed (could be off). They're good coaches. I'm sure they've done a good job of doing some live, one-on-one stuff, scrimmage kind of stuff, to try and get ready to go."
Firing up Cameron Thomas
Against Colorado, SDSU defensive end Cameron Thomas had one of the better games by an Aztecs defender, collecting 14 tackles that included three tackles for a loss, three quarterback hurries and a sack.
Interestingly enough, Hoke pulled Thomas from the game after just a couple of plays on the opening defensive series.
Seems the sophomore was given a few choice words to get his mind right.
"He was frustrated with me," Thomas said. "I did not come out ready to play. That is something that we always talk about throughout the week, making sure that we're prepared and ready to play.
"That was something I struggled with early. I got my head wrapped around things after he gave me a few specific words and I was ready to go after that.
Anything that was said in particular that really resonated?
"Nothing that I'd prefer to say," Thomas said.
BYU game details
SDSU fans who have been challenged at times to find the Aztecs' games on television this season shouldn't have any trouble with the Dec. 12 game at No. 8-ranked BYU.
It will be televised on ESPN2. Kickoff is 7 p.m. PT. The Cougars (9-0) are off for a second straight week leading into the game.
