462.357 Procedure to effect plan:  zoning.
Subdivision 1.    Authority for zoning.  For the purpose
of promoting the public health, safety, morals, and general
welfare, a municipality may by ordinance regulate on the earth's
surface, in the air space above the surface, and in subsurface
areas, the location, height, width, bulk, type of foundation,
number of stories, size of buildings and other structures, the
percentage of lot which may be occupied, the size of yards and
other open spaces, the density and distribution of population,
the uses of buildings and structures for trade, industry,
residence, recreation, public activities, or other purposes, and
the uses of land for trade, industry, residence, recreation,
agriculture, forestry, soil conservation, water supply
conservation, conservation of shorelands, as defined in sections
103F.201 to 103F.221, access to direct sunlight for solar energy
systems as defined in section 216C.06, flood control or other
purposes, and may establish standards and procedures regulating
such uses.  To accomplish these purposes, official controls may
include provision for purchase of development rights by the
governing body in the form of conservation easements under
chapter 84C in areas where the governing body considers
preservation desirable and the transfer of development rights
from those areas to areas the governing body considers more
appropriate for development.  No regulation may prohibit earth
sheltered construction as defined in section 216C.06,
subdivision 14, relocated residential buildings, or manufactured
homes built in conformance with sections 327.31 to 327.35 that
comply with all other zoning ordinances promulgated pursuant to
this section.  The regulations may divide the surface, above
surface, and subsurface areas of the municipality into districts
or zones of suitable numbers, shape, and area.  The regulations
shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings,
structures, or land and for each class or kind of use throughout
such district, but the regulations in one district may differ
from those in other districts.  The ordinance embodying these
regulations shall be known as the zoning ordinance and shall
consist of text and maps.  A city may by ordinance extend the
application of its zoning regulations to unincorporated
territory located within two miles of its limits in any
direction, but not in a county or town which has adopted zoning
regulations; provided that where two or more noncontiguous
municipalities have boundaries less than four miles apart, each
is authorized to control the zoning of land on its side of a
line equidistant between the two noncontiguous municipalities
unless a town or county in the affected area has adopted zoning
regulations.  Any city may thereafter enforce such regulations
in the area to the same extent as if such property were situated
within its corporate limits, until the county or town board
adopts a comprehensive zoning regulation which includes the area.
Subd. 1a.    Certain zoning ordinances.  A municipality
must not enact, amend, or enforce a zoning ordinance that has
the effect of altering the existing density, lot-size
requirements, or manufactured home setback requirements in any
manufactured home park constructed before January 1, 1995, if
the manufactured home park, when constructed, complied with the
then existing density, lot-size and setback requirements.
Subd. 1b.    Conditional uses.  A manufactured home
park, as defined in section 327.14, subdivision 3, is a
conditional use in a zoning district that allows the
construction or placement of a building used or intended to be
used by two or more families.
Subd. 1c.    Amortization prohibited.  Except as
otherwise provided in this subdivision, a municipality must not
enact, amend, or enforce an ordinance providing for the
elimination or termination of a use by amortization which use
was lawful at the time of its inception.  This subdivision does
not apply to adults-only bookstores, adults-only theaters, or
similar adults-only businesses, as defined by ordinance.
Subd. 1d.    Nuisance.  Subdivision 1c does not prohibit
a municipality from enforcing an ordinance providing for the
prevention or abatement of nuisances, as defined in section
561.01, or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance,
as defined in section 617.81, subdivision 2, paragraph (a),
clauses (1) to (9), without payment of compensation.
Subd. 1e.    Nonconformities.  Any nonconformity,
including the lawful use or occupation of land or premises
existing at the time of the adoption of an additional control
under this chapter, may be continued, including through repair
or maintenance, but if the nonconformity or occupancy is
discontinued for a period of more than one year, or any
nonconforming use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the
extent of greater than 50 percent of its market value, any
subsequent use or occupancy of the land or premises shall be a
conforming use or occupancy.  A municipality may by ordinance
impose upon nonconformities reasonable regulations to prevent
and abate nuisances and to protect the public health, welfare,
or safety.  This subdivision does not prohibit a municipality
from enforcing an ordinance that applies to adults-only
bookstores, adults-only theaters, or similar adults-only
businesses, as defined by ordinance.
Subd. 1f.    Substandard structures.  Notwithstanding
subdivision 1e, Minnesota Rules, parts 6105.0351 to 6105.0550,
may allow for the continuation and improvement of substandard
structures, as defined in Minnesota Rules, part 6105.0354,
subpart 30, in the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway.
Subd. 2.    General requirements.  (a) At any time after
the adoption of a land use plan for the municipality, the
planning agency, for the purpose of carrying out the policies
and goals of the land use plan, may prepare a proposed zoning
ordinance and submit it to the governing body with its
recommendations for adoption.
(b) Subject to the requirements of subdivisions 3, 4, and
5, the governing body may adopt and amend a zoning ordinance by
a majority vote of all its members.  The adoption or amendment
of any portion of a zoning ordinance which changes all or part
of the existing classification of a zoning district from
residential to either commercial or industrial requires a
two-thirds majority vote of all members of the governing body.
(c) The land use plan must provide guidelines for the
timing and sequence of the adoption of official controls to
ensure planned, orderly, and staged development and
redevelopment consistent with the land use plan.
Subd. 3.    Public hearings.  No zoning ordinance or
amendment thereto shall be adopted until a public hearing has
been held thereon by the planning agency or by the governing
body.  A notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing
shall be published in the official newspaper of the municipality
at least ten days prior to the day of the hearing.  When an
amendment involves changes in district boundaries affecting an
area of five acres or less, a similar notice shall be mailed at
least ten days before the day of the hearing to each owner of
affected property and property situated wholly or partly within
350 feet of the property to which the amendment relates.  For
the purpose of giving mailed notice, the person responsible for
mailing the notice may use any appropriate records to determine
the names and addresses of owners.  A copy of the notice and a
list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent
shall be attested to by the responsible person and shall be made
a part of the records of the proceedings.  The failure to give
mailed notice to individual property owners, or defects in the
notice shall not invalidate the proceedings, provided a bona
fide attempt to comply with this subdivision has been made.
Subd. 4.    Amendments.  An amendment to a zoning
ordinance may be initiated by the governing body, the planning
agency, or by petition of affected property owners as defined in
the zoning ordinance.  An amendment not initiated by the
planning agency shall be referred to the planning agency, if
there is one, for study and report and may not be acted upon by
the governing body until it has received the recommendation of
the planning agency on the proposed amendment or until 60 days
have elapsed from the date of reference of the amendment without
a report by the planning agency.
Subd. 5.    Amendment; certain cities of the first class.
The provisions of this subdivision apply to the adoption or
amendment of any portion of a zoning ordinance which changes all
or part of the existing classification of a zoning district from
residential to either commercial or industrial of a property
located in a city of the first class, except a city of the first
class in which a different process is provided through the
operation of the city's home rule charter.  In a city to which
this subdivision applies, amendments to a zoning ordinance shall
be made in conformance with this section but only after there
shall have been filed in the office of the city clerk a written
consent of the owners of two-thirds of the several descriptions
of real estate situate within 100 feet of the total contiguous
descriptions of real estate held by the same owner or any party
purchasing any such contiguous property within one year
preceding the request, and after the affirmative vote in favor
thereof by a majority of the members of the governing body of
any such city.  The governing body of such city may, by a
two-thirds vote of its members, after hearing, adopt a new
zoning ordinance without such written consent whenever the
planning commission or planning board of such city shall have
made a survey of the whole area of the city or of an area of not
less than 40 acres, within which the new ordinance or the
amendments or alterations of the existing ordinance would take
effect when adopted, and shall have considered whether the
number of descriptions of real estate affected by such changes
and alterations renders the obtaining of such written consent
impractical, and such planning commission or planning board
shall report in writing as to whether in its opinion the
proposals of the governing body in any case are reasonably
related to the overall needs of the community, to existing land
use, or to a plan for future land use, and shall have conducted
a public hearing on such proposed ordinance, changes or
alterations, of which hearing published notice shall have been
given in a daily newspaper of general circulation at least once
each week for three successive weeks prior to such hearing,
which notice shall state the time, place and purpose of such
hearing, and shall have reported to the governing body of the
city its findings and recommendations in writing.
Subd. 6.    Appeals and adjustments.  Appeals to the
board of appeals and adjustments may be taken by any affected
person upon compliance with any reasonable conditions imposed by
the zoning ordinance.  The board of appeals and adjustments has
the following powers with respect to the zoning ordinance:
(1) To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that
there is an error in any order, requirement, decision, or
determination made by an administrative officer in the
enforcement of the zoning ordinance.
(2) To hear requests for variances from the literal
provisions of the ordinance in instances where their strict
enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances
unique to the individual property under consideration, and to
grant such variances only when it is demonstrated that such
actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance.  "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the
granting of a variance means the property in question cannot be
put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the
official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by the
landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the locality.  Economic considerations
alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use
for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.  Undue
hardship also includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access
to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.  Variances shall be
granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in section
216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with the ordinance.
The board of appeals and adjustments or the governing body as
the case may be, may not permit as a variance any use that is
not permitted under the ordinance for property in the zone where
the affected person's land is located.  The board or governing
body as the case may be, may permit as a variance the temporary
use of a one family dwelling as a two family dwelling.  The
board or governing body as the case may be may impose conditions
in the granting of variances to insure compliance and to protect
adjacent properties.
Subd. 6a.    Normal residential surroundings for
handicapped.  It is the policy of this state that handicapped
persons and children should not be excluded by municipal zoning
ordinances or other land use regulations from the benefits of
normal residential surroundings.  For purposes of subdivisions
6a through 9, "person" has the meaning given in section 245A.02,
subdivision 11.
Subd. 7.    Permitted single family use.  A state
licensed residential facility or a housing with services
establishment registered under chapter 144D serving six or fewer
persons, a licensed day care facility serving 12 or fewer
persons, and a group family day care facility licensed under
Minnesota Rules, parts 9502.0315 to 9502.0445 to serve 14 or
fewer children shall be considered a permitted single family
residential use of property for the purposes of zoning, except
that a residential facility whose primary purpose is to treat
juveniles who have violated criminal statutes relating to sex
offenses or have been adjudicated delinquent on the basis of
conduct in violation of criminal statutes relating to sex
offenses shall not be considered a permitted use.
Subd. 8.    Permitted multifamily use.  Except as
otherwise provided in subdivision 7 or in any town, municipal or
county zoning regulation as authorized by this subdivision, a
state licensed residential facility serving from 7 through 16
persons or a licensed day care facility serving from 13 through
16 persons shall be considered a permitted multifamily
residential use of property for purposes of zoning.  A township,
municipal or county zoning authority may require a conditional
use or special use permit in order to assure proper maintenance
and operation of a facility, provided that no conditions shall
be imposed on the facility which are more restrictive than those
imposed on other conditional uses or special uses of residential
property in the same zones, unless the additional conditions are
necessary to protect the health and safety of the residents of
the residential facility.  Nothing herein shall be construed to
exclude or prohibit residential or day care facilities from
single family zones if otherwise permitted by a local zoning
regulation.

Про собор
З 15 по 16 січня 2002 року у приміщенні Івано-Франківської Духовної академії проходив Івано-Франківський єпархіальний Собор на тему: «Євангелізація і душпастирство у III тисячолітті». Даний собор є дуже цінним для Івано-Франківської єпархі та УГКЦ, останні такі собори проводились ще єпископом Григорієм Хомишиним у 20-30 роки XX століття. Урочисте відкриття Собору відбулося під час Архієрейської Божественної Літургії, яку у співслужінні численного духовенства відправив місцевий Правлячий Архієрей Софрон Мудрий. А далі розпочалася наполеглива праця, у котрій протягом двох днів брали участь представники єпархіального управління близько 150 делегатів, настоятелів монаших чинів та згромаджень, духовенство та мирянство єпархії, відпоручники церковних та громадських організацій, професори Духовної академії та викладачі державних ВУЗів.

Єпископи
 Юліан Пелеш (1885 — 1891),
 Юліан Сас-Куїловський (1891—1899),
 Андрей Шептицький (1899—1900),
 Григорій Хомишин (1904—1945); єп.-помічник (з 1929) Іван Лятишевський,
 Софрон Дмитерко ЧСВВ (30 листопада 1968 — 22 грудня 1997),
 Софрон Мудрий ЧСВВ (22 грудня 1997 — 2 червня 2005),
 Володимир Війтишин (з 2 червня 2005).

Головні теми собору
Собор Івано-Франківської єпархії УГКЦ охопив надзвичайно широке коло актуальних проблем сьогодення. Кожен із доповідачів намагався підкреслити важливість нової євангелізації та душпастирської опіки у кожній із сфер сучасного суспільства. Секретар Собору, редактор часопису «Нова Зоря» отець Ігор Пелехатий розповів про євангелізацію та засоби масової комунікації, Митрофорний Протоієрей Микола Сімкайло говорив про харитативну діяльність благодійного Фонду «Карітас—Івано-Франківськ», отець-доктор Святослав Кияк змалював перспективи капеланської праці у вищих навчальних закладах. Делегати Собору мали можливість почути про душпастирську працю у війську, в'язницях та колоніях, сиротинцях, інтернатах, лікарнях, а також про катехизацію дітей у родині та недільних школах, молоді у парохіях, передшлюбну катехизацію та катехизацію для людей похилого віку.

Слово Глави УГКЦ Кардинала Любомира Гузара

У першому дні праці Собору взяв участь Глава УГКЦ Блаженніший Любомир Кардинал Гузар. У своєму привітальному слові Глава УГКЦ зокрема сказав: «Перед усіма нашими єпархіальними Соборами стоять схожі завдання. Потрібно усвідомити ситуацію у конкретній єпархії, роздумуючи над можливістю розв'язку існуючих проблем. Однак, усвідомлюючи власні потреби, ми повинні завжди брати під увагу цілість нашої Церкви. Будьте свідомі того, що мусимо йти поза межі нашої єпархії. Думайте ширшими категоріями. Застановляйтеся над тим, як Христос, який для нас є джерелом відродження, міг би стати живою дійсністю для мешканців усіх регіонів нашої держави. Підкреслюючи свої потреби, працюймо на користь усіх. На попередньому Синоді єпископів ми спільно вирішили, що у недалекому майбутньому укладатимемо душпастирський план для усієї нашої Церкви. Але ми не хочемо фантазувати, чи писати про щось далеке від справжніх потреб. Саме тому такі Собори, як от ваш — надзвичайно важливі. Дякую усім, хто доповідав і братиме участь у дискусіях. Бажаю, щоб ваша праця була дуже успішною, щоб ви побачили справжні потреби і запропонували дуже практичні пропозиції. Але пам'ятайте, що Собор не має закінчитися завтра. Він повинен продовжуватися у здійсненні тих добрих пропозицій, які ви представлятимете своєму Владиці».

Пропозицій та рішення собору для покращення праці Церкви в соціальній сфері

Лікарні
1. Створення каплиць та духовних кутків у медичних закладах. В багатьох випадках не має потреби спорудження каплиць як окремих будівель, оскільки хворим не завжди рекомендовано виходити за межі лікарні. Проте, де є можливо, необхідно заохочувати будівництво храмів на території лікарняних закладів.
2. Охоплення медичних закладів священиками. Розробка спеціальної програми з підготовки священиків для праці в медичних закладах, навчання курсу пастирської біомедицини, біоетики, забезпечити друк літератури та навчальних посібників для душпастирства в медицині.
3. Християнізація медичного персоналу, організація семінарів, дискусій для забезпечення християнського відношення медичного працівника-пацієнта.
4. Вивчення проблеми хрещення новонароджених дітей, які перебувають в загрозі смерті, можливе розповсюдження «Форми Хрещення» для персоналу пологових будинків. Проведення роз'яснювальної роботи серед лікарів та медперсоналу про важливість хрещення новонароджених дітей, життя яких перебуває в загрозі.
Військо
1. Апелювати до керівництва Міністерства оборони України про введення у Збройних силах капеланства задля здійснення душпастирства серед військових. Паралельно на місцевому рівні підготувати угоди з військовими частинами про відвідування священиками військових частин всіхіснуючих родів військ.
2. Підготовка священиків, які б без наполягання обов'язковості та на засадах екуменізму заохочували військовослужбовців до практикування християнського життя. Звернення уваги на специфіку військової служби.
3. Лекції та семінари для офіцерського складу про християнізацію відносин в українському війську. Матеріальна допомога для створення каплиць та забезпечення військових капеланів не обхідними ресурсами для здійснення душпастирства.

Місця позбавлення волі
1. Обов'язкова попередня підготовка священиків для праці у місцях позбавлення волі через розроблення програми душпастирства у в'язниці. Організація та проведення семінарів із залученням психологів, працівників внутрішніх справ, пенітенціарної системи, педагогів, священиків та інших для визначення головних напрямків праці духовної особи у в'язниці.
2. Систематизація, видання, переклад літератури як посібників для праці священиків у місцях позбавлення волі (питання сповіді, праця з засудженими на тривалі терміни, особливості дитячих та жіночих колоній та інше).
3. Налагодження душпастирства для людей, які перебувають під попереднім слідством, коли допуск до даної категорії відбувається тільки за дозволом слідчого, в той час, коли ці люди найбільше потребують духовної допомоги. Вивчення потреб в'язниць, колоній та інших закладів ув'язнення, можливе введення збору коштів на потреби душпастирства у в'язницях на відправах Хресної Дороги в часі Великоднього посту.

Сиротинці
1. Організація Церквою круглих столів за участю представників внутрішніх справ, соціальних служб, медицини, юристів, духовенства та інших для вивчення проблем та потреб дітей-сиріт, дітей, які позбавлені батьківської опіки, та дітей вулиці. Розроблення спільного підходу до даних проблем, де правоохоронці роз'яснювали б неминучість покарання за можливі скоєні злочини, працівники медицини роз'яснювали б про святість інтимних стосунків та небажаність наслідків статевих відносин між молодими людьми. Правознавці надавали б необхідні юридичні знання та консультації, а душ пастир шляхом завоювання авторитету та довіри серед дітей зміг би на цій базі скеровувати молоді душі до розвитку та життя у християнському руслі.
2. Необхідність виявлення нехрещених дітей, їх хрещення, катехизації. Особлива праця з хресними батьками.
3. Постійна праця з персоналом цих закладів задля виховання дітей на засадах довіри, милосердя і любові.
4. Соціальна інтеграція дітей у суспільство (організація гуртків за інтересами, швейні курси, навчання приготування їжі, з надання першої допомоги, природне планування сім'ї, сімейне виховання тощо).
5. Подбати про будинки для сиріт, а також про можливість єпархії разом з усіма церковними структурами, Карітас, деканатами побудувати дім для емеритів, одиноких вдів священиків, християн, які не мають де жити, а також для стареньких монахів і монахинь.

Благодійність
1. Впровадження навчальних соціальних проектів. Надання постійної матеріальної допомоги для потребуючих ще більше узалежнює їх від нас. Ми повинні допомогти їм стати на власні ноги, стати внутрішньо вільними та свідомими своєї людської гідності і ласки бути Божими дітьми, навчити їх допомагати самим собі.
2. Організація акцій по збору допомоги для потребуючих. Відкриття благодійних їдалень, соціальних підрозділів, клубів для спілкування молоді та старших людей, домашня опіка над немічними та перестарілими тощо.
3. Ширше залучення чернецтва до здійснення харитативної праці.
4. Залучення молоді до добровільної праці в харитативних організаціях, виховання її в дусі любові до бідних та потребуючих.
5. Соціальна реабілітація людей з особливими потребами, що надзвичайно важливо для дітей та молодих інвалідів.
6. Активна позиція Церкви у пропаганді шкоди алкоголізму, наркоманії, СНІДу. Введення курсу лекцій для студентів духовних закладів, щоб майбутні священики мали реальну і сучасну уяву про ці явища. Впровадження лекцій спеціалістів з цих питань на реколекціях для священиків. Доповнити, посилити і осучаснити курс пастирської медицини.

NITI Aayog to release second delta ranking of backward districts
The government think-tank said the districts have been ranked on parameters including health and nutrition, education, agriculture and water resources, financial inclusion and skill development, and basic infrastructure.The government think-tank said the districts have been ranked on parameters including health and nutrition, education, agriculture and water resources, financial inclusion and skill development, and basic infrastructure.
In its first such ranking released in June, Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara came at the bottom while Gujarat's Dahod topped the chart in terms of improvement made by them.
The NITI Aayog will on Thursday release the second delta ranking of the most backward districts of the country -- which it has dubbed as "aspirational districts" -- reflecting the incremental progress made by them between June and October.
The government think-tank said the districts have been ranked on parameters including health and nutrition, education, agriculture and water resources, financial inclusion and skill development, and basic infrastructure.
"The rankings, for the first time, will also factor in inputs from household survey conducted by NITI Aayog's knowledge partners -- Tata Trusts and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation," a NITI Aayog statement said.
The 20 bottom-ranked districts included nine districts from Bihar, five from Jharkhand and three from Odisha.
The government has maintained that its Aspirational District Programme aims to rapidly transform the districts that have shown relatively lesser progress in key social areas and have emerged as pockets of under-development, thereby posing a challenge to ensure balanced regional development.

Syria snipers targeting pregnant women: British surgeon
http://str.sg/Zqsz
LONDON (AFP) - Syrian snipers appear to be targeting pregnant women, a British surgeon said on Saturday after returning from the conflict zone.
David Nott, who spent five weeks volunteering at a Syrian hospital, told The Times newspaper the gunshot wounds he had treated also indicated that bored snipers were targeting particular parts of civilians' bodies in a bid to entertain themselves.
"One day it would be shots to the groin. The next, it would only be the left chest," he told the newspaper.
"From the first patients that came in in the morning, you could almost tell what you would see for the rest of the day. It was a game." Nott, a prominent surgeon who counts former prime minister Tony Blair as an ex-patient, said he had treated more than half a dozen shot pregnant women on one day in the Syrian city, which he did not identify for security reasons.
On another day, two consecutive gunshot patients were heavily pregnant women, both of whom lost their babies.
"The women were all shot through the uterus, so that must have been where they were aiming for," he told The Times.
"I can't even begin to tell you how awful it was. Usually, civilians are caught in the crossfire. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. This was deliberate. It was hell beyond hell." Nott, who usually works as a vascular surgeon at London's Westminster and Chelsea hospital, has been volunteering as an emergency surgeon in warzones for 20 years, including Bosnia, Libya and the Democratic Republic of Congo.


I have had Cody come to service y furnace, and the service was GREAT! He arrived on-time, with a call to say when he would rive. In addition to fixing the thermostat, he did a quick ncheck on the entire system, just to be sure ll was well. I would highly reccomend him, with no hesitation!
I had a couple companies come look at my furnace after some mice got in and nested in the housing part of it. They were saying I needed some very expensive repairs, and should probably just replace it. It's like 15 years old. I had just put in new ducts that were supposed to be mouse proof the year before. I called Artisan and they were prompt, super thorough, and showed me my ducts were clean, there were just a couple wires that needed to be replaced. They got it up and running like new for a couple hundred bucks. That saved me thousands. Oh yeah, they also replaced my thermostat that had fried. These guys are a very conscientious group!
I can't say enough great things about Artisan. These guys go above and beyond. Very professional and extremely thorough. You just KNOW that they love what they do and want the best for their customers. After getting estimates from a couple really big companies, a neighbor recommended Artisan. They took their time inspecting my old furnace before recommending a replacement, which I really appreciated. And here's the best part… after they finished replacing my furnace, they fixed the broken hinge on my basement door JUST BECAUSE! Love you guys! And love my neighbor for referring Artisan.
For the 2nd time in 2 years, I had a critter make it's home in my ducts. Unlike the company that I called last year that charged me a lot to clean the ducts and do maintenance checks,Cody suggested new aluminum ducts since mine had multiple holes and were in bad shape. He, Ed and James came to install new aluminum ducts for me. I had rotted pipes and a blown motor as well, but his price for the complete job was very competitive and I feel confident about this lasting for at least the next 10 years. They gave free estimates, were professional, communicated clearly and were able to schedule my quote and the work much sooner than other companies. My husband and I are happy customers and happy to have another "go-to" vendor.
I contacted Artisan Air for a small project which involved removing two wall heaters and their thermostats. Cody arrived the next morning bright and early. He was very professional and friendly. He gave me a very affordable price for the job and handled the job on the same day. Cody's work was thorough and clean, and he even recommended a contractor who could cover the open spaces with sheet rock. I will certainly use this company again.
My husband and I are happy customers and happy to have another "go-to" vendor.
They saved me thousands. Oh yeah, they also replaced my thermostat that had fried.

Zero Sequence Modulation Tutorial
Space Vector Modulation
Zero Sequence Modulation
Visualizing different alternatives for ZSM
ZSM Viewer
Which type of ZSM is the best?
In the 1980s there was a strong interest in microprocessor-controlled motor drives with digitally generated PWM waveforms rather than analog, to take advantage of the increased flexibility of software. A 1982 conference paper by Pfaff, Weschta and Wick (later published in IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications) described creating switching waveforms utilizing a technique for electric machine analysis known as space vectors. The basic idea is that you analyze the state of a motor or generator by considering per-phase quantities together as a group, whether they are voltages, currents, or fluxes. This idea had been around since the early 1900s but was primarily developed by R.H. Park at General Electric, who published a 1929 paper on the so-called "two-reaction" (d-q) theory. The term "space vector" appears to be of European origin (specifically a 1959 textbook by two Hungarian professors, K. P. Kovacs and I. Racz), referring to the use of symmetrical components and Park's two-reaction theory, not just as abstract quantities used to analyze three-phase power, but as real physical quantities representing spatial variation of currents or magnetic fluxes in electric motors or generators.
The technique used by Pfaff, Weschta, and Wick for generating switching waveforms is to treat three-phase PWM generation as a single task. Instead of generating three independent switching waveforms, treat the three-phase bridge as one unit that can generate eight different switching states: a three-dimensional Cartesian product of the two states on phase A, the two states on phase B, and the two states on phase C.
Two of these states, (A,B,C) = (0,0,0) and (1,1,1), represent zero instantaneous line-to-line voltages, and are often called the "zero" or "null" vectors. The remaining six states represent nonzero vector voltages applied across the motor terminals.
Pfaff, Weschta and Wick described how to generate a desired average voltage from the three-phase bridge by using a weighted average of the three closest switching states (defining six "sectors", shown in Roman numerals I-VI in the figure above), and published a formula to calculate the on-time of each phase in order to achieve that desired average voltage. This paper did not distinguish between the two zero vectors, but only specified the necessary zero vector time.
A 1986 conference paper by van der Broeck, Skudelny, and Stanke (later published in IEEE Transactions) described the "optimal" use of space vector modulation in PWM to reduce switching losses and current ripple. It's pretty simple and can be achieved by following two key rules:
Time spent in zero vectors is divided equally between (0,0,0) and (1,1,1).
Switching waveforms should be symmetric, utilizing center-aligned PWM.
The authors also described the PWM strategy in terms of switch on-time calculation in each of the six sectors. This paper appears to be the first mention of the now-familiar waveforms that are generally associated with space vector modulation:
The van der Broeck paper has been cited by over 600 papers about motor control and is really the foundation for PWM in modern digital motor control.
Nitpicking at van der Broeck et al.
For better or worse, when someone in the motor control industry refers to SVM or Space Vector Modulation, usually they mean the technique outlined in this paper. What's good is that the resulting waveforms are usually the right choice in most motor control applications. What's bad… well, there are three things here that are rather unfortunate.
One is that it makes many people misunderstand the term "space vector modulation". SVM is really a more general idea — again, it really refers to the practice of treating a multiphase bridge as a way of creating a unified output vector, and the ability to jump back and forth between vector states arbitrarily over time. It doesn't have to be fixed-frequency like PWM.
The technique mentioned in the van der Broeck paper is more precisely called Conventional Space Vector PWM (CSVPWM). Conventional because it is the most common approach, and Space Vector PWM, rather than SVM, because it's a fixed-frequency technique utilizing ordinary PWM generators, whether they are implemented using analog or digital circuitry.
Some examples of space vector modulation, which do not use fixed-frequency PWM, include hysteresis-based modulation and delta modulation; both are found occasionally in high-voltage or high-power systems where switching speeds are lower, and minimizing switching losses is very important.

Pa. Sen. Pat Toomey adds tax amendment to aid a college - in Michigan
Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey added an amendment to the Republican tax plan to offer relief for colleges facing a new tax. Only Democrats said his plan would target just one school, far from his home state: conservative Hillsdale College, in Michigan.
Sen. Pat Toomey, (R-Pa.), strides to a meeting in the Capitol.Read moreJ. Scott Applewhite
by Jonathan Tamari
WASHINGTON — As Republicans' sweeping tax bill moved toward adding a new tax on colleges with large endowments, including several in Pennsylvania, Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) added a late amendment Friday night to offer some relief.
However, Democrats said his plan would help just one school, far from his home state: conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan.
Democrats pounced on the amendment in a sharp debate on the Senate floor, attacking the plan as Republicans pressed for a vote on their sweeping overhaul of tax policies.
"There are so many deserving schools in Oregon and Pennsylvania and elsewhere who don't get this special treatment," Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) said during an 11-minute exchange between Toomey and four Democrats. "I can't find anybody else in America who benefits from this particular provision, and that doesn't strike me as right, to have it air-dropped at the last minute into a bill."
Toomey defended his proposal, saying it would provide tax benefits for any college that chooses not to accept federal student aid — and therefore saves the government money.
"A college that chooses to not put that imposition on federal taxpayers ought to be able to be exempt from this tax," Toomey said. "It would be available to any college that makes that choice."
Democrats, however, said only Hillsdale now makes that choice and has an endowment large enough to be threatened by the proposed tax. In a sustained attack they acidly added that Hillsdale is generously supported by the family of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Late Friday night, however, after the floor fight, the GOP bill changed, raising the threshold for colleges facing the tax, likely sparing several near Philadelphia, and possibly Hillsdale — which would make Toomey's plan moot.
Before that, five Pennsylvania schools appeared to be facing a tax on their endowments due to the initial GOP plan, according to two people familiar with the issue: the University of Pennsylvania, and Haverford, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, and Lafayette Colleges. In New Jersey, Princeton University and the Princeton Theological Seminary were facing the tax.
At issue was a proposed tax on private universities with endowments larger than $250,000 per student. Republicans wanted to add a 1.4 percent tax on those endowments to help pay for the other tax cuts in their bill. But the GOP changed the criteria late Friday night so the tax would affect schools with endowments larger than $500,000 per student. Several of the Pennsylvania schools were likely to avoid the levy because of that change. Hillsdale might also avoid it.
Many colleges had raised the alarm about the tax, some saying it could cost them millions.
The plan "will take money away from needy students and vital college operations," the presidents of Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore recently wrote to Pennsylvania lawmakers.
Penn, with an endowment that tops $12 billion, could see the largest hit in Pennsylvania, if it faces the tax.
Hillsdale's student newspaper recently wrote that the tax hike could cost their school $700,000.
Democrats have accused Hillsdale of refusing federal aid so it could escape federal antidiscrimination rules, particularly those intended to protect gays and lesbians.
"We don't have a fond opinion of discrimination and of giving a tax provision for just one college that happens to be funded by one of the wealthiest families in America because they happen to be a Republican donor," said Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.).
Democrats held up the amendment as a symbol of what they said were giveaways tucked into a massive bill voted on late at night, with little time to review the final measure.
Toomey reiterated that any school could take advantage of the provision — if they decided to give up federal student aid. He did not answer directly when pressed on whether Hillsdale was the only current beneficiary.
"There are very few, probably, who choose now to forgo all of this taxpayer money," he said, "but any college in America that wanted to could do so."

From The Pre-History Of Fandom: 1971 STAR TREK Fan Film
In 1971 Ray Glasser was filming STAR TREK adventures all his own.
By Devin Faraci May. 09, 2011
The fanboy is a relatively recent thing. His earliest origins probably come from Forrest J Ackerman, who among his many feats may have been the first cosplayer. But it wasn't until the advent of Star Trek and comic book conventions in the 70s that what we recognize as fanboys and modern fandom today truly took shape*. The first real Trek convention was held in 1972.
So that makes Ray Glasser something of a pioneer. It's probable that his Star Trek fanfilm, done as a school project, is probably one of the first fanfilms ever made. It's likely one of the few surviving ones; I imagine most other 'fanfilms' from before Ray are just kids fucking around with a camera and never got preserved.
I love every weird thing about this film, including the mustache on Mr. Spock, who seems to be played by the father of Harris from Freaks and Geeks.
Here's what Ray says about the project:
This video was a final exam in a TV production class that I took at Ohio State back in the spring of 1971. Even as a lad of 21, I always had to have everything preserved!! I had this taped on 1" open-reel videotape, then transferred it to U-Matic and then to Beta. (I got an A-.)
via Fanboy
*I'm aware that Worldcon was being held in the 1930s. I'd argue that pre-Star Trek conventions were made up of people who were obsessive about genres and after Trek they were people who were obsessive about specific properties. We can have a history of fandom discussion if you want it, though. It's a fascinating topic.

Pearce backing Marine's FA Cup heroes to fire in dream third round clash with Spurs
Sportsbeat
Former England skipper Pearce has experienced both sides of the FA Cup giant-killing coin during his time at Wealdstone and Newcastle
Stuart Pearce is backing Marine's players to showcase the depth of talent in non-league football in their fairytale FA Cup third round clash with Tottenham Hotspur, writes Paul Martin.
The eighth-tier Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One North West outfit welcome Jose Mourinho's Premier League high-flyers to Rossett Park on Sunday looking to cause what would arguably be the biggest upset in the history of the prestigious competition.
Pearce, who began his career with Wealdstone, has experienced both sides of the FA Cup giant-killing coin and knows exactly how the Marine players will be feeling ahead of their day in the spotlight.
"It will be a heady mix of nerves and excitement," said the former England captain, an ambassador for Pitching In, the grassroots sport investment programme set up by Ladbrokes owner, Entain.
"They will want to do themselves justice and give their best as these are key games in players' careers.
"Marine's players have the opportunity, on live BBC television and in front of one of the best managers in the world, to show their talent.
"Their run has been nothing but astounding - you just never know who might catch the eye on the day and progress their career up the food chain.
"The pyramid is getting stronger at the bottom. There is more professionalism in the non-league set-up, and there's no doubt in my mind there is talent in the non-league system that can come through into the professional game."
The West Ham assistant manager is also plotting a route past non-league opposition as the Hammers travel to National League side Stockport County.
And the competition retains every ounce of its magic for the 58-year-old, who played in every round during his glittering career and opened the scoring in the 1991 final when his Nottingham Forest side were beaten by Tottenham.
"I've had so many great days in the FA Cup," added Pearce, who has hailed Entain's flagship partnership with Trident League clubs for promoting grassroots sport and combining vital financial assistance with an emphasis on community and volunteers.
"I've probably got a better memory of all my cup games than any league games.
"I probably had as much excitement being drawn against a league club as playing in FA Cup finals.
"We have seen giant-killings all the time in FA Cup football and this year will be no different.
"You know they will raise their game and for any Premier League club, going to a non-league club will be so difficult."
The game now being played behind closed doors will deny Marine the backing of a vocal home support.
The club have launched a raffle in a bid to recoup a portion of their lost gate income, while Jamie Carragher has agreed to sponsor the dugouts and pre-match warm-up tops through his charity, the JC23 Foundation.
"The FA Cup is a financial lifeline," said Pearce, who is also supporting the Trident Community Foundation – a recently-launched initiative which gives Trident League clubs the chance to apply for grants of up to £5,000 to launch community-focused projects.
"Getting involved in the latter stages for non-league teams can keep clubs going for months, if not years, if things go well.
"That revenue is massive for these clubs – especially in times like these – and I wish Marine the best of luck."
Entain, owner of Ladbrokes, has launched a multi-million pound investment programme, Pitching In, designed to support and promote grassroots sports. The programme includes a flagship partnership with The Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Leagues - collectively known as The Trident League, as well as a partnership with the UK sports charity SportsAid.

Should You Keep Your Amex Platinum Card if You Don't Plan to Travel This Year?
The past year has been a rough one for frequent travelers, and credit card lovers have seen their beloved travel credit cards lose a lot of value while they're stuck at home. Due to its steep annual fee, it's one of the harder cards to justify keeping open if you aren't traveling. Chase has made plenty of changes to its premium travel credit cards over the past year to make sure cardholders are still getting enough value without traveling.

IndiGo tightens grip in India and targets growth abroad
India's IndiGo has emerged as one of the world's biggest airlines by capacity, aided by a swift recovery in the domestic aviation market to nearly 80% of pre-pandemic levels and the financial strength to boost market share as rivals struggle. IndiGo took 44 planes from Airbus SE last year - the most of any customer and topping Delta Air Lines Inc and China Southern Airlines Co Ltd - as it replaced older planes with more fuel-efficient newer models. With a 52% domestic market share in 2020 versus 47% in 2019, and profitability in sight after a loss last fiscal year, IndiGo is expanding its reach to smaller Indian cities such as Ranchi, Patna and Gorakhpur to replace a fall in business travel on larger routes like New Delhi-Mumbai, CEO Ronojoy Dutta told Reuters.
Gold and Copper Climb as Dollar Weakens With Eyes on Inflation
(Bloomberg) -- Gold and copper surged as the dollar weakened amid signs that interests rates may remain low, boosting inflation expectations as Joe Biden begins his first day as U.S. president.The Bloomberg Dollar Spot index extended declines for a third straight day on Wednesday, supporting prices of commodities priced in the greenback. Stocks rose and bond yields tied to inflation expectations held gains from Tuesday, when Biden's Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen said that a slew of state spending was needed to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, while playing down concerns about the debt it creates."Precious metals were supported above all by a weaker U.S. dollar, which fell further on the back of renewed strength for stock markets," Fawad Razaqzada, a market analyst at ThinkMarkets, said in a note. "The path of least resistance is now to the upside again," with gold trading above last week's high and finding support above its 200-day moving average, he said.Yellen's Tuesday testimony was key in weakening the dollar while lifting gold and base metal prices, according to Commerzbank analysts Carsten Fritsch and Daniel Briesemann. Copper had additional support on signs of greater risk appetite, the bank said. Industrial metals have been helped by expectations of increased Chinese and U.S. demand as Covid-19 vaccines continue to be be distributed and economies recover, ramping up spending on raw goods."The metals prices are supported by the further rising stock markets, which express the high risk appetite of market participants," Briesemann said. "This is fed by hopes that economic life will return to normal with the vaccinations that have now begun."Biden became the 46th U.S. president in Wednesday's inaugural ceremony that unfolded under heavy security after weeks of tumult and unrest stoked by Donald Trump. Next, traders will be looking toward the president's ability to pass his economic stimulus plans through Congress, which would fuel another surge in metals demand in the U.S., the second-largest metals consumer after China."All else being equal, a Biden presidency supported by control of the House and Senate, ought to be very favorable for gold," Bryan Slusarchuk, chief executive officer of Fosterville South Exploration Ltd., said in an email.With Democratic leaders pushing for nearly $2 trillion in stimulus, there are "very big signals that the proverbial kitchen sink is about to be thrown at an effort to prop up a fragile economy, an effort that may have short-term impact but in the long term will cause further pain and ultimately will be negative for the U.S. dollar and positive for gold," Slusarchuk said.Spot gold rose 1.7% to $1,871.84 an ounce by 5 p.m. in New York. Silver, platinum and palladium also pushed higher. Copper prices closed 1.1% higher at $8,044.50 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange, with all major base metals rising. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index dropped 0.2%.(An earlier version of this story corrected location of timestamp)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

PHOTOVOLTAIC MEDICINE

Micro-scaled photovoltaic devices may one day be used to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly to tumors, rendering chemotherapy less toxic to surrounding tissue.
"In the first step, we were able to prove the concept," says Tao Xu, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of Texas in El Paso. Xu and his colleagues presented their findings at the AVS 57th International Symposium & Exhibition.
Currently, chemotherapeutic drugs are piped through an IV drip into the bloodstream, where they travel and come in contact with many organs on the way to their target. Patients are affected systemically, with toxic side effects that are well known. Ideally, clinicians would like to have a way to deliver these powerful drugs only where needed – to target them specifically to tumor tissue. Xu's device is designed to do just that - release drug only when stimulated by light, focusing it directly on a tumor during treatment. Near infrared or laser light is believed to penetrate tissues over 10 cm deep.
The novel device converts light into electric current. In an in vitro model system, positively or negatively charged "model" drugs were used to coated opposite sides of the miniature solar cell. Upon introduction of a light beam, one side of the device became positively charged, repelling the positive charged molecules the investigators had placed there, releasing them; the same thing happened with the negatively charged side and negative model molecules.
It appears that "our hypothesis will work," says Xu, adding that the amount of drug released can also be controlled by varying the intensity of light. The first phase employed an in vitro model; according to Xu, the next step for the work would be its application in small animal models.

The oboe-the-top origins of musical instrument names
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Musical-instrument-names.htm
The Free Dictionary Blog > The oboe-the-top origins of musical instrument names
Wordymology is a series in which the editors at The Free Dictionary explore the origins of the names of things.
The names of many musical instruments sound so elegant and natural that you've probably never considered that some have pretty peculiar etymologies hiding behind the music. Here are 12 notable ones.
Some instruments are named after living things. Like birds that sing beautiful songs, you ask? Not quite.
Ox Vox
The bugle is a brass instrument commonly used in the military. The name "bugle" comes from a diminutive form of the Latin word bōs, which means "ox." Why? Because the instrument was originally made from ox horns.
Jumping Flea
The ukulele, a small guitar with four strings, likely gets its name from the Hawaiian term 'uku lele, meaning "jumping flea." (In Hawaiian, 'uku means "flea," while lele means "jumping.") This phrase is thought to describe how a musician's fingers move while playing the instrument.
The name of the ocarina, a small wind instrument somewhat shaped like a sweet potato, is a diminutive form of the Italian word oca, meaning "goose." If you're wondering what this instrument has in common with a little goose, it's the shape of the mouthpiece, which is thought to resemble a goose's beak.
Some instruments not named for jumping fleas or goose beaks were instead named for people.
The Sax Man
In some cases, the name of the inventor lives on through the name of the instrument. The
saxophone, for instance, is named for Adolphe Sax, the Belgian instrument maker who created it.
The Untouchable Theremin
The theremin, an electronic instrument that is played without the musician actually touching it, is named for its inventor, Russian engineer Leon Theremin.
The March King
The sousaphone, a type of tuba that wraps around the musician's upper body, is named for famed bandmaster and composer John Philip Sousa, known as "The March King." The sousaphone is commonly used in marching bands, a fitting tribute to its namesake.
Some instruments are named for a material commonly used in musical manufacturing—wood. But they're probably not the ones you'd expect, like the violin or the guitar.
Wood Sound
The xylophone is an instrument consisting of wooden bars that are struck with small mallets. Its name is Greek in origin: xylo- comes from the Greek word xulon, meaning "wood," and phōnē means "sound." Although this instrument has been around for a long time, even appearing in Renaissance portrayals of the Dance of Death, the first known use of the word "xylophone" wasn't until the 19th century.
High Wood
The "oboe," a woodwind instrument, gets its name from the French—sort of. The word "oboe" is Italian and comes from an attempt at phonetically pronouncing the French phrase haut bois, meaning "high wood" (in reference to the instrument's pitch). In fact, the oboe is sometimes called the "hautboy."
Then there's the instruments named after other instruments or musical objects.
The Little Viola
The violin gets its name from the Italian word violino, meaning "little viola." The viola is a bit larger than the violin and has a deeper tone.
The Little Violone
The cello was originally known by a longer name: "violoncello," from "violone" (a similar instrument) + cello (a diminutive suffix).
The Little Drum
When you think of drums, those that create classic booming percussion sounds may come to mind more readily than the tambourine, but alas, the word "tambourine"—from the Middle Flemish word tamborijn—literally means "little drum."
The String Drum
Finally, there's the snare drum, a small drum with two drumheads. The word "snare" likely comes from the Dutch word snaar, meaning "string." While that may seem odd, the lower drumhead of a snare drum actually has strings or wires stretched across it. These strings then vibrate and reverberate when the drummer strikes the upper drumhead.
If you could rename these instruments or others, what would you call them? (The guitar would obviously be a "stringy-strummy.")
