All Jane No Dick: Female comics gather to make Portland laugh
The all-female comedy festival, All Jane No Dick, is well under way, having opened last night with a local showcase at Helium Comedy Club. JoAnn Schinderle, Amy Miller, Whitney Streed and a host of other comics who performed last night are Portland-based favorites, but the festival, organized by the nonprofit Curious Comedy Theater (5225 NE MLK Jr. Blvd.), highlights nationally and internationally recognized acts as well. The aim, according to the festival's official statement, is to recognize diverse, quality comics in an industry in which women represent just one every five spots on high-profile comedy festival bills, one in five chairs in the writing room, and one in five television appearances. "Industry representatives explain this discrepancy by claiming quality women comedians are hard to find," notes the festival organizers. "All Jane No Dick was created to help bridge the gap between women comedians, audiences, and industry decision-makers."
Though the festival is a push back against the rampant sexism in the industry, one male rights activist in particular sees the festival as just that—sexist. In an effort to bring attention to his cause, the man, who has since become known as the Lone Woof, posted fliers along Alberta Street that urged men and women alike to protest the festival. While his efforts and sentiments are equal parts perplexing and misinformed, the conversation that has since evolved from his actions are far more worthwhile. A "YesAllJane" hashtag has erupted on Twitter, exposing the less-discussed aspect of an industry that has since its inception been a boys club. "Because I heard a guy ask a comedian friend if she was at a show to perform or to blow everyone in the audience. #YesAllJane," tweets local comedian Dan Weber. "It was me!!" responds festival participant Amy Miller.
Comedian Gabe Dinger also adds to the Twitter conversation, "I got a gig that I found out had been taken from a female comic. The guy didn't want an all-woman show. He called it 'diversity.' #YesAllJane." All Jane No Dick's proves to be that all-woman show, spotlighting quality female and female-identifying comics—with diversity and no apologies.
The festivities continue Thursday night with two shows at Curious Comedy Theater (CCT) and one at Alberta Street Pub. Head to Curious Comedy Theatre at 7:30 p.m. to catch Phoebe Robinson, Kate Berlant and Friends hosted by Stacey Hallal, who is also the festival's artistic director. Comics include Elicia Sanchez, DeAnne Smith, Kristine Levine, Mo Welch, Kyle Mizono, Kate Berlant, and Phoebe Robinson. Later that evening at 9:30 p.m. at CCT, Beth Stelling and Friends, is hosted by Virginia Jones. Comics include Danielle Radford, Rye Silverman, Kelsie Huff, Subhah Agarwal, Emily Maya Mills, Maggie Maye, Beth Stelling, Aparna Nancherla. Down the street at the same time, Alberta Street Pub hosts Picture This!, a more interactive show in which area artists draw realtime sketches of the comic's stand-up routine that is simultaneously projected behind her. Hosted by Andie Main, comics include Brandie Posey, Kimberly Clark, JoAnn Schinderle, Brooke Van Poppelen, Kate Berlant, Sara Schaefer, and Daria O'Neil.
Friday's events include another double-header for Curious Comedy Theater. The first show, once again beginning at 7:30 p.m., is hosted by Bri Pruett and includes performances by Rye Silverman, Subhah Agarwal, Emily Maya Mills, Kelsie Huff, Maggie Maye, Aparna Nancherla, and Beth Stelling. The later show, hosted by Amy Miller, includes bits by Caroline Bassett, Jan Davidson, Danielle Radford, Kimberly Clark, Candy Lawrence, Brooke Van Poppelen, Kate Berlant, and Sara Schaefer. Tickets for these events are available at the door.
The festivities continue through Sunday, Oct. 19, and include workshops on creating compelling characters, improving improvisational performance skills, and writing for television, as well as host of more stand-up by extremely funny women. See the official festival schedule for details.

Romney tells donors: No presidential announcement anytime soon
Allahpundit Nov 18, 2010 8:37 PM ET
I know what you're thinking, but no, this doesn't necessarily mean that he'll miss the debate at the Reagan library. That's scheduled for "spring 2011" and he's only committing to stay out of the race through February. To put that in perspective for you, Bill Clinton didn't officially announce his candidacy in 1991 until … October.
Why not announce sooner, though, since we all know he's running?
"People are exhausted from the 2010 election, and they're not anxious to begin right away with the next campaign," Romney told 245 of his top financial supporters on a conference call Thursday, a Romney aide told POLITICO. His team organized the call to connect with top supporters following a busy 2010 season and discuss Romney's political future.
Romney also told supporters that his organization will be "smaller in scale than our last effort."
The rationale, as Romney explained it: In 2008, he was a little-known figure who had to spend millions on a large organization if he was to compete against Arizona Sen. John McCain for the Republican nomination. In that cycle, he announced an exploratory committee in January 2007 and officially announced a bid in February.
I find it odd that he's touting a smaller campaign apparatus given that money's not an issue and he's the one guy whose hopes may depend on a 50-state primary campaign to defeat the candidate who emerges from the "true conservative" wing of the party. Could be that it's a managerial thing — fewer aides means greater efficiency, etc — but I wonder if he isn't deliberately trying to keep a light organizational footprint to blunt criticism from the base that he's part of the "machine" or whatever. One of the takeaways from that Times profile of Palin that I linked last night is not only that her own "organization" is small, it's so small that it basically doesn't exist. It's just her and Todd and four or five advisors trying to coordinate things as best they can with conference calls and e-mail tag. In fact, possibly the most revealing line in that piece is Palin herself admitting that she knows things will have to change if she's going to make a run. Getting bigger is a purely practical move on her part. Is that also true of Romney's decision to get smaller, or is there more to it?
Here's Carville, fresh off his observation about the number of balls Obama and Hillary share, musing about why Romney remains the frontrunner. His logic's not as persuasive as Philip Klein's, but then the point here isn't analysis, it's derision.

Audi RS2 LHD
A brilliant, low mileage example of Audi's first ever "RS" model, the iconic RS2
The Audi RS2 Avant is a truly iconic car. It was collaboratively designed as a joint venture between Audi and Porsche and was produced from 1994-1995. The RS2 was based on an Audi 80 Avant and was Audi's first ever "RS" model and their first endeavour into a high-performance estate car. Both of these factors make the RS2 a significant moment in Audi's history as it kick-started their pursuits into fast-estate cars, something that has since become synonymous with the Audi brand.
The RS2 is powered by an inline-five cylinder turbocharged engine which Porsche modified considerably. These changes included a larger turbocharger, higher flow fuel injectors, a more efficient induction system, and a new low-pressure exhaust system. This was enough to power the RS2 from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed of over 160mph. In 1995 Autocar magazine even timed the RS2 from 0-30mph in just 1.5 seconds, faster than the McLaren F1 road car.
The RS2 features a six-speed manual gearbox which sends power to all four-wheels via Audi's trademark 'Quattro' system. Porsche also assisted Audi on developing the braking and suspension systems for the RS2, illustrated discreetly by Porsche-badged Brembo brake callipers which tuck away neatly under the larger 17" wheels from a 968 Clubsport of the era.
The lovely example we are offering is finished in the perfect Nogaro Blue paint (the colour the car was first offered in). It is a great opportunity to obtain a significant part of both Audi and Porsche's history and is ready to be enjoyed!

Small businesses benefit from extended Black Friday period
Research by customer relationship manager (CRM) and marketing software ActiveCampaign has found that Black Friday is not just the single day of discounts it originated as – it's actually at least three weeks long, and small businesses in particular can benefit from this in future years.
According to the data, 2020's Black Friday was the furthest from a single day of moneysaving deals it has ever been. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced a change in our retail behaviour, with many of us now turning to online shopping more than ever before.
For small businesses, navigating major sales events like Black Friday in the online sphere can be daunting and challenging. With inboxes being flooded with discount emails, the price of Facebook Ad impressions (how much you pay for a single person to view your ad) rising over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, and the competition of major retailers that can afford to offer hefty discounts without feeling the effects on their profits all working against small businesses, can they actually benefit from Black Friday at all?
According to ActiveCampaign, the answer is yes, and it's all because of the shift from a single day of sales to an extended discount period. According to the company, Black Friday now consists of, at the very least, the week before and week after the day. With a longer period to offer sales comes more opportunities to target customers in advance and straight after the notorious weekend itself, meaning small businesses can take advantage of a less crammed inbox and less expensive Facebook Ad spends.
The data from ActiveCampaign found an increase of 150% in automations being processed during this year's Black Friday compared to that of last year. In addition, while 112% more carts were abandoned this year, 593% of revenue was recovered by ActiveCampaign customers, who utilised automation opportunities to retarget their customers after Black Friday had took place.
While this year's Black Friday has been and gone, there's no time like the present to start planning ahead for 2021. In addition, with Boxing Day sales looming closer – and COVID restrictions set to prevent shoppers from seeking deals in non-essential retailers in Wales, at the very least – this data could be used in your Boxing Day approach if you're planning on offering any sales or discounts.
With purse strings likely being tighter in 2021 after a year of furlough and redundancies, potential customers will welcome any discounts on offer. By starting promotions early and extending your sales into January, you have a wider window of opportunity to engage with customers and, ultimately, make money.
Online retail success begins with a strong, effective website. If you need help establishing a website, an online store or you wish to start up an autoresponder, get in touch with our team at Engage Web today.

To any business selling online, timely delivered orders are one of the top priorities. The reason for that is simple: successful orders result in sales and profits. Obviously, the more orders are placed and, most importantly, completed, the better. However, when the volume of orders starts to grow, it becomes quite a challenge for retailers to handle them efficiently.
Order management process goes far beyond actual delivery of an order to a particular customer. Sophisticated and complex, it includes a massive range of activities, starting from order confirmation, booking and packing all the way to payment processing and shipment execution. On each of these steps, online merchants deal with loads of data related to both the order itself and to the customer who placed it.
A survey by NetSuite showed that order management improvement was the number 1 customer-focused initiative for 37% of wholesale distributors and retailers. It is yet another proof that effective order management plays a huge role in ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Without proper means for order handling, ecommerce businesses are doomed to lose the battle for customers. Most of retailers optimize this process by leveraging some kind of a basic order management system or relying on in-built capabilities provided by platforms like Magento. Nevertheless, it always pays to go extra mile so that to enhance the existing order management approach. Aitoc Magento 2 extension development company shares some useful tips on how to make Magento order management more efficient.
Today orders tend to come from more than one sales channel. Aggregating and synchronizing the necessary information across all channels in such case is vital, since its inconsistency may become a bottleneck in your supply chain. Make an investment into integration of your CRM, ERP and any other relevant software you use. Seamless and accurate data transfer is of a high importance here. For instance, if your store runs on the leading ecommerce platform, you can import orders to Magento in the CSV format with the help of specialized tools. It will allow bringing together the data coming from online, in-store, mobile and other sources into a single, centralized data hub. This way you will be able to control, track and modify every step of the order life cycle, reducing the risk of any potential mistakes and simplifying the overall process.
Inventory and order processing are inseparable parts of one whole. Back orders and stock outs evoke no enthusiasm for customers, so you have to keep your stock levels well-organized and up-to-date in order to provide relevant availability data to buyers. Ensure your system automatically tracks and syncs up all the inventory, especially if it is spread across multiple warehouses. With this real-time data, timely stock replenishment will become a piece of cake, resulting in successful order fulfillment and, consequently, customer satisfaction.
Complete visibility throughout the entire supply chain will help you address your business' performance goals and customers' demands. Collaborate actively with your suppliers to make sure you always have relevant product data at your disposal. Update your sales staff about real-time inventory and orders on a regular basis. And, of course, keep your customers informed about each step of the order fulfillment process. Combined together, all of the mentioned above results in a highly transparent and visible order management. And that's what lies a foundation for the increased level of trust with both your customers and partners.
Nine times out of ten quick packing and shipment of orders guarantees its timely delivery to the end-customer. So, it should literally take minutes for an order to be processed at your warehouse to ensure successful fulfillment. What's important here is a seamless data flow between order processing and warehousing teams. You can bring that to life at a relatively low effort by the means of corresponding software and communication tools. This is a simple and cost-effective way that will take you one step closer to optimized and streamlined order management process.
It should come as no shock that the process of handling orders can be inefficient, nonproductive and time-consuming, if executed manually. Unfortunately, there's no way you can escape from the human factor in this case. By reducing the amount of manual data entry, you reduce the probability of errors in the order processing. Implement a smart order management system that will handle the data accurately. Allow your customers to enter order data in customized forms that will be exported for further processing automatically with no involvement of additional staff from your side. Automation will skyrocket your order management process, providing for more efficient order fulfillment.
Order management is a complicated, time-consuming process that constitutes an essential part of any ecommerce business. We have to face it – there's no one-size-fits-all solution to ensure its flawless operation. However, the combination of the right software tools and management approaches will definitely make it run smoothly. Following the simple tips shared in this article can improve your order management strategy, and so contribute to the successful order fulfillment and, ultimately, better quality of customer service.

Men, Women, Politicians and Rape
One result of the recent Delhi rape tragedy has been the impetus it has given to the demand for expediting the Women's Reservation Bill. It is a mistake to connect the two issues. The general attitude of Indian males towards women is deplorable. It needs to be rectified. But it is a grievous error to conclude that such reform would result from giving women reservation in parliament. The two issues, women's reservation and excesses against women, are unrelated.
Roughly half our population comprises of women. Women are free to vote for woman candidates if they feel that their issues are not adequately promoted. But because of distortions in society women are not free to vote as they should be able to. That is what needs to be corrected. To accomplish it will take time. Meanwhile it is desirable that more women may sit in the legislatures. That is the rationale for the Women's Reservation Bill.
The lapses by governments in dealing with excesses against women are committed not by men but by politicians. And there is nothing to distinguish women politicians from their male counterparts when it comes to dealing with crimes against women.
However to realize increased representation of women would it be better to reserve constituencies for them or have the Election Commission order political parties to reserve an appropriate quota for women candidates in all elections? By reserving certain seats for women there could be injustice to voters of a particular constituency. There might be a most suitable male candidate in that constituency but denied to voters because of the reserved seat.
Because governments have been as guilty as males in dealing with excesses committed against women there is growing sentiment that women's reservation in parliament would provide a suitable remedy. Whatever the merits or otherwise about reservation for women in parliament, the issue should not be confused with redressing excesses against women.
The lapses by governments in dealing with excesses against women are committed not by men but by politicians. And there is nothing to distinguish women politicians from their male counterparts when it comes to dealing with crimes against women. After entering politics women tend to behave as reprehensibly as men while dealing with excesses against women. They tend to see everything through the prism of political expediency.
It started with Indira Gandhi. Many decades ago one woman, Maya Tyagi, was paraded naked through the streets. Indira Gandhi as Prime Minister partially justified the act by stating that Maya Tyagi was of dubious character. As if her character was at all relevant to the nature of the crime committed against her! Keeping up that tradition Miss Mamata Banerjee more recently dismissed rape cases in her state as "concocted events". Inspired by her leader perhaps even more recently her party MP Ms. Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar implied that the Park Street rape victim was a sex worker by describing the alleged rape as a "misunderstanding between a lady and her client."
The conduct of UP Chief Minister Miss Mayawati was no different. She dismissed the rape allegation against Rural Development Minister Mr. Daddu Prasad as 'false and baseless'. Like her West Bengal counterpart the UP Chief Minister also described the charge of rape against the minister as the result of a "conspiracy to defame both him and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) government". That was not all. Miss Mayawati only belatedly was compelled by opposition criticism to Charge sheet her BSP MLA Mr. Purshottam Naresh Dwiwedi for allegedly raping a 17-year-old Dalit girl in Banda. A jailor and four policemen had been suspended in connection with that case.
So it might be seen that women in politics have as much to answer for as men. By all means judge the issue of the Women's Reservation Bill on its merits. It should not in any way be bracketed with crimes against women. The record suggests that the two issues are unrelated.
Image (c) Gettyimages. com
I think one of India's darkest day post Independence has to be the day govt allowed reservation, disregarding the equality guaranteed by constitution.
Reservation till date has never uplifted or helped any community, only individuals. I've always opposed women's reservation in parliament. If parties are serious of more women representing people, they should put up more women's candidates....which I clearly doubt would happen.
Worse, we might end up with more pseudo candidates, where those women MPs hold responsibility without power and someone else hold power without responsibility.

Home News Baylor Memorial Dining Hall to receive upgrades
Memorial Dining Hall to receive upgrades
By Kalli Damschen
Baylor Dining Services will renovate Memorial Dining Hall and adding a new commercial cafe and bakery, Au Bon Pain, to the Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation.
Memorial Dining Hall will close after service on May 1 for interior renovations and will open again at the beginning of the fall semester. The expanded dining hall will include a homemade gelato bar, a new carving block for deli meats, and alternating Mediterranean, Italian and Asian bistro classics.
"It'll definitely be nice to have some new options," said Houston sophomore Casey Froehlich.
The salad station at Memorial will also be expanded to include a greater variety of options, including a salad entree, according to Sean McMahon, director of Campus Dining, and Laura Lorenz, food service director at Memorial. Many of the current favorites at Memorial, including the flying saucer station and the made-to-order deli, will also be improved.
McMahon and Lorenz said the renovations will also add a new "worry-free" station for students with food allergies or sensitivities.
"The overall objective is to improve the student experience," McMahon wrote in an email to the Lariat. "The renovation will provide more variety, new equipment, better efficiency and a much needed upgrade to the facility."
This upgrade to the facility will improve the interior structure of the dining hall while maintaining "much of the warm, historic feel of the current Memorial," McMahon wrote.
Over the summer, Baylor Dining Services will also be building a new commercial dining location. Au Bon Pain, meaning "Place with the Good Bread" in French, is a cafe and bakery chain headquartered in Boston. The new location will be on the Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation on Fourth Street.
The menu at Au Bon Pain includes breakfast and lunch sandwiches, wraps, salads, coffee and baked goods. Menu items will be available both made to order and pre-packaged.
Health Magazine has repeatedly named Au Bon Pain one of America's top five healthiest restaurants. Au Bon Pain was also one of the first cafes in the U.S. to display calorie counts alongside each menu item, and today each location provides detailed nutritional and allergen information for a variety of dietary needs.
The new Au Bon Pain location will open in August around the start of the fall semester.

As part of CFI's continual improvement process we are currently reviewing our database and web services. In December 2003 we conducted interviews with a sample of web services users, we also posted an online survey for those who could not attend a regional visit. This was done to gain a better understanding of your processes, and requirements, and to explore what you felt requires improvement. The exercise proved very informative, we got to know you – our users – better as well as the challenges you face. We were able to identify areas for improvement and where we can offer more or better services to assist you in the management of CFI applications and awards.
The following is a summary of the conclusions drawn from the visits and the survey.
Specific responses as well as a grouping of the comments received in the survey can be found after the summary. Finally at the end of this document you will find the timeline for this project. Keep in mind that these comments reflect what we heard and some items may not be feasible to include in the next system.
The overall feeling was that there is general satisfaction with our web services, negative comments centered on very specific aspects (e.g. lack of formatting, graphs, etc.). This tells us that we need to balance familiarity with new functionality.
Items mentioned below are areas where improvement or new functionality have been recommended. This is not an exhaustive list nor is it in order of priority.
Support for formatting, special characters, insertion of graphs, images, etc.
COMMENT: Approximately 60% (314) of respondents access CFI online services within a single role.
COMMENT: The major Funds have been cited as the most used.
COMMENT: Certain eforms are used significantly more than others by a range of user roles. The relative use of each form is biased by the role that the respondents play in meeting CFI submission requirements. Support and general information content is also heavily used.
COMMENT: In terms of workflow, respondent roles do not distinguish between process initiation, content development, content contribution, and content approval.
COMMENT: Slightly lower level of satisfaction with eforms utilities.
Satisfaction with online services, and need for further functionality (choose one, and add comments). The online services listed for response varied according to the choice of user role in the first question.
COMMENT: Generally consistent satisfaction with the online services regardless of respondent role, however there is a significant level of interest in further developments in usability.
COMMENT: Significant interest in seeing additional generalized capabilities in the identified areas. Note that system enhancements may have cost implications that might not have been considered by the respondents.
Support for the addition of specific functional capabilities (choose one, and add comments).
COMMENT: Significant support for certain user enhancements.
COMMENT: Limitations as to the scope of the CFI online services for providing additional functions.
COMMENT: Strong preference for email as the main mode of communications between CFI and CFI clients.
COMMENT: Moderate acceptance of value of additional support tools, although significant lack of use of current tools.
award finalization forms and processes. (This is also related to concerns regarding the steps for establishing final itemized lists and summaries of contributions.) Note: CFI administrative requirements changes are out of scope for this project.
grouping of submissions of projects for consideration and the online collaboration. The increased scale of projects and the associated collaboration among larger teams of participants is a trend in CFI funded projects.
specific usability suggestions, e.g. eform layouts, input controls, offline eforms completion ability, search and print ability and help information.
We have grouped all the comments received through the survey and summarized them below. Users either submitted comments for our information or told us what they would like or need in the next version of the system.
Note: Depending on the provider selected there may be several releases. The first release will offer at least the same level of functionality (with some improvements). Subsequent releases would implement new functionality. The schedule of the subsequent releases is not yet known.

The Effects of Temperature Inversion
••• Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
How to Explain the Process of Condensation
By Karen G Blaettler
The effects of temperature inversions in the atmosphere range from mild to extreme. Inversion conditions may cause interesting weather patterns like fog or freezing rain or may result in deadly smog concentrations.
The atmosphere's largest temperature inversion layer stabilizes the Earth's troposphere.
What Is a Temperature Inversion?
Normally, atmospheric temperature decreases as altitude increases. Energy from the Sun heats the Earth's surface and that heat transfers to the atmosphere in contact with the Earth. The heat energy moves upward in the air column but spreads out as the altitude increases and the atmosphere thins.
Meteorologists, who are scientists who study weather, define inversion as "a layer of the atmosphere in which air temperature increases with height." This is true whether on the surface or elevated above the surface.
The inversion definition also explains that when the base of the inversion layer lies on the surface the inversion is called a surface-based temperature inversion. When the base of the inversion layer is above the surface, the inversion layer is called an elevated temperature inversion.
Convection Cell Circulation
On clear calm mornings, the Sun's energy gradually heats the surface. The warmed surface heats the air in direct contact. The warmer, less dense air rises and denser cold air sinks into its place. The colder air warms and rises, with cooler air sinking down to the ground to be heated in turn. As the Sun rises the cyclic rising and falling air pattern called convection cells develops.
As ground temperature continues to increase, the convection cells rise higher and can reach 5,000 or more feet by early afternoon. By late morning the movement of air in convection cells may cause cumulus clouds to form and light, gusty winds of variable speed and direction to blow.
Later in the day, as the Sun's energy decreases and the surface cools, the convection cells become smaller. The water droplets forming the clouds evaporate and the breezes gradually decline.
Throughout the day, the air temperature is highest at the surface and decreases with altitude. However, a surface-based temperature inversion may develop after the Sun sets, especially if the air is calm, the sky is clear and the night is long.
Nocturnal Inversion Layers
As the Sun sets, the surface cools. The air in contact with the surface also cools. Air doesn't easily transfer heat and the warmer air above does not warm the colder air below. Without wind to stir the air, the colder air stays on the surface.
Without clouds, the surface warmth escapes faster. The longer the night, the colder the surface becomes. If the surface temperature drops below the dew point (the temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation), ground fog may form.
As the surface air cools and the air above remains warmer, the surface-based temperature inversion forms. The greater the temperature difference, the stronger the inversion. Stronger surface inversions form in winter because the nights are longer. If the weather conditions remain the same, the surface-based temperature inversion breaks down when the Sun comes up and warms the surface again.
High-Pressure Systems and Inversion Weather
If, however, a high-pressure system moves in, the inversion may stay in place for several days (and nights). As the layer of colder air becomes thicker the inversion becomes an elevated inversion layer. The air trapped under the inversion includes the moisture, smoke and pollutants released into the air mass. The air quality under an inversion layer deteriorates as the pollutants accumulate.
As the smoke and chemicals mix with water vapor, smog forms. The haze from smog reduces the Sun's energy and the ground doesn't gain as much energy. The surface and the air mass between the surface and the inversion layer stay cold and may become even colder.
A vicious cycle can develop as people use more heat, whether from fireplaces or fossil-fuel burning power plants, releasing more smoke and chemicals into the trapped cold air mass and increasing the smog haze that reduces the Sun's energy. Severe smog events in 1948 in Donora, Pennsylvania, (USA) and in 1952 in London, England, resulted from elevated temperature inversion layers.
Inversion Layers and Freezing Rain
When the elevated temperature inversion layer is above freezing temperature and the underlying cold air temperature is at or below freezing temperature, freezing rain occurs.
Rain falls as a liquid through the relatively warmer air mass of the inversion layer. When the liquid rain enters the colder air mass below the inversion layer, the raindrops freeze to form freezing rain.
Topography and Inversion Layers
Topography plays an important role in developing and holding inversion layers in place. Cold air from higher elevation sinks and pools in valleys and low areas such as coastlines.
The cold air chills the surface and separates the surface from the warmer air. Surrounding ridges and hills protect valleys from winds which could mix the air masses and disrupt the inversion pattern.
Earth's Biggest Temperature Inversion
Weather patterns occur in the bottom layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere. Above the troposphere lies the stratosphere. In the stratosphere, the Sun's energy reacts with the atmosphere to form a global ozone layer.
This ozone layer absorbs some of the Sun's energy resulting in a global elevated inversion layer above the troposphere. This inversion layer helps hold the Earth's surface warmth in the troposphere.

Thermal Dispersion Flow Transmitter has no moving parts.
Dwyer Instruments, Inc. Oct 21, 2010
Series TDT thermal dispersion flow transmitter, used for metering of all fluid media, has adjustable insertion mounting for pipe sizes of 1-24 in., while extensions allow use with up to 75 in. dia pipes. Unit contains PT resistor that measures media temperature, and one that is heated by attached heating resistor. Flow of media cools heated resistor proportional to speed of flow, resulting in linear output signal proportional to flow speed. Unit is available in flow ranges up to 0-12.47 fps.
Series TDT Thermal Dispersion Flow Transmitter
The W.E Anderson Division of Dwyer Instruments, Inc., the preferred source for your complete range of practical and affordable instrumentation, is announcing the release of its new and innovative SERIES TDT THERMAL DISPERSION FLOW TRANSMITTER.
Series TDT is an excellent alternative to turbine and paddlewheel insertion flow meters, with the ability to deliver high accuracy over a wide range of pipe sizes. These units have the same insertion mounting into a 1-1/2½ NPT but have no moving parts to wear, break or clog. The TDT Dispersion Transmitter measures very low flow rates due to the applied calorimetric principle and can be used for the metering of all fluid media, such as: water, oil, aggressive media, paste, glue, sludge, grease, etc. Due to the adjustable insertion mounting, one model is suitable for pipe sizes of 1½ to 24½, and with available extensions, it can be used for pipes sized up to 75½ in diameter. Series TDT is also available in titanium, as well as an optional temperature output, broadening the applications usage.
The Series TDT operates with the use of a sensor head that contains two PT-resistors. One of these measures the temperature of the media, while the other is heated by an attached heating resistor. The temperature difference between the two PT-resistors is predetermined and a control circuit keeps this temperature difference constant. The flow of the media cools the heated PT-resistor proportional to the speed of the flow, which results in a linear output signal proportional to the flow speed.
Available flow range options include: 0 to 1.64 ft/s (0 to 0.5 m/s), 0 to 3.28 ft/s (0 to 1 m/s), 0 to 6.56 ft/s (0 to 2 m/s), 0 to 9.84 ft/s (0 to 3 m/s), and 0 to 12.47 ft/s (0 to 3.8 m/s).

Chioma Nnani is a Nigerian writer and a producer who runs a full writing and publishing service for her clients across the globe. Our very own WOMEN & AFRICA contributor, she is also the author of Forever There For You now available on Amazon. In this interview, Chioma Nnani talks about her novel and more.
Chioma, you are a well-established writer with a Law degree from the University of Kent located in Canterbury, United Kingdom. How did this happen?
I graduated from university at the time when The Recession really hit. Law firms were closing down or downsizing. Law had always been a competitive venture anyway. But with the employment market being affected by the recession, it became even more competitive. The burning passion for the field wasn't there anymore.It was difficult to face because that meant I had to re-evaluate my entire life. It took a while and serious soul-searching to face up to the possibility of taking a step back from a career in Law. Even when I gave up my place in Law School, I needed a push because I couldn't bring myself to take that leap. That push came in form of an experience that wasn't very nice.
How did you go about publishing Forever There For You ?
I made a number of mistakes. I allowed some pieces of my writing, including the original manuscript for Forever There For You , to get into the hands of an individual, who then tried to steal them from me. I honestly didn't realize how serious it was. I just knew that I was not amused that someone was trying to steal my work. A childhood friend successfully halted the theft. Shortly after that, someone told me "If your writing is good enough for someone to go to all this trouble to steal, maybe God is trying to tell you something".
Was it tough to find a publisher?
How important are your Nigerian heritage and your experience in the UK in your work as a writer?
The influence of my Nigerian heritage in my writing style is a bit more subconscious than it appears to be for some other writers with a similar background. While as a writer (or any kind of artist), you produce work that is in your comfort zone, sometimes you do incorporate stuff that may require you to step out of your comfort zone. I think that's where being able to carry out great research, comes in. I believe that being able to effectively marry these two, in a way that is relatable and cohesive, is what puts a stamp on you as "this kind of writer" or "that kind of artist(e)".
How will you describe your writing style?
I write stuff that I tend to describe as "Afro-centric", even if it is the case that my work doesn't only appeal to those of a Nigeria, or even African heritage. However, I think that producing good art is mainly about being true to who you are. I believe that if someone wants to read something that is essentially European, or American – they won't pick up my work.
Do you think your work will stand out from the crowd?
I feel absolutely no shame in incorporating some parts of the various cultures in Nigeria, into my writing.Forever There For You has words and phrases in one of the Nigerian languages (Igbo). During the preview stage, I remember there being a concern about how that people who weren't, or didn't understand Igbo, would not understand the words. So, I put a glossary of Igbo words at the end of the book. In terms of the time I spent in the UK, noticing the culture and lifestyle did (and continues to) play a role in my writing style. But even that wouldn't have been possible without painstaking research. Some of the geographical locations mentioned in Forever There For You , I have not actually physically been to.
How would you describe the state of the publishing and writing industries in your homeland, Nigeria?
I think that, like with everything, there is room for improvement. I choose to see any flaws as a plus because that flaws invariably create a market that demands the services of those who are passionate about and dedicated to excellence.
Your debut novel Forever There For You has received strong reviews on Amazon since its release in 2012. What is the book about?
What do you hope to accomplish through the novel?
I hope that people can get some kind of education in a sense, from reading the book. I also hope to get people talking (even more loudly) about certain difficult issues. Difficult in the sense that talking about them, currently seems to be more of a taboo than their occurrence. It would also be good to have these conversations metamorphose into, or form the basis of legislative changes in some climes.
Nigerian author Chioma Nnani on her first novel 'Forever There For You' was originally shared on the Women and Africa Platform. Thank you Foumena Agnoung for allowing us to publish this article on our platform. To learn more about Women and Africa, visit: Womenandafrica.com.

Paul Rudd Seems to Want a Fan Campaign for Ant-Man 3
BY Joshua M. Patton June 11, 2019April 29, 2020
If people want to see Paul Rudd return in a solo movie, they may need to start a fan campaign for Ant-Man 3. At least, that what Rudd himself thinks they should do, according to a brief interview he did to promote a Pepsi commercial. Yes, it appears stars are doing marketing for commercials, which are, in fact, also marketing. These are strange times we live in. With the incredible success of Avengers: Endgame, all eyes are on what Marvel Studio has up its Infinity Gauntlet for Phase 4. The information about what we can expect from the MCU in the next few years is scant at best. News outlets are reduced to trawling Reddit pages for rumors and info about what to expect. Still, the commercial has Marvel connections and may give us some insight about what's not being discussed for Phase 4.
Ant-Man, Korg, and Luis Go to Space (Almost)
Pepsi Max, a low-calorie version of the soft drink with no sugar, is known for its audacious advertising. The latest commercial, which you can see below, features Paul Rudd and Michael Peña, known together for their roles in the Ant-Man films. Peña plays Luis, the fast-talking, slightly criminal Luis who play's the best friend of Paul Rudd's Scott Lang. In the video, the two are hapless astronauts about to be launched into space. Right before takeoff, the realize they don't have any of their favorite drink, Pepsi Max. Misadventures ensure. There is also an MCU connection behind the camera, director Taika Waititi. He played Thor's revolutionary rock-friend Korg and directed Thor: Ragnarok. So, naturally during the press for this commercial, Rudd was asked about when he would return to the MCU. The answer came as a surprise, because he essentially said he wouldn't unless there was a fan campaign for Ant-Man 3.
Fan Campaign for Ant-Man 3: A Necessity or a Gag?
Speaking to Yahoo! Finance, Rudd told them he had no idea if Ant-Man would return in a third solo movie. Ant-Man appeared in two solo films, as well as Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios, for their part, hasn't officially announced any projects beyond Spider-Man: Far From Home, which will serve as a coda to Endgame and the Infinity Saga. "You need to make a call to the top brass and start a campaign to make it happen," he said. The reporter who interviewed him did not characterize the statement. So there is no way to know if he's serious or if he's joking. Assuming the former, this means that in order to break through in Phase 4, a fan campaign for Ant-Man 3 is necessary. Even if he is joking, an outpouring from Ant-Man fans clamoring for a new movie would not be unwelcome.
We Still Know Nothing About Marvel Studios' Phase 4
In the run-up to Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige said that they purposefully wanted to keep the focus on that film and Spidey, to close out their first three phases of movies. Marvel movies are so successful, they don't have to worry about building hype for what's to come. Instead, they can actually focus on the story they finished, especially when doing press. So, it's possible that Rudd asked for a fan campaign for Ant-Man 3 because he's simply not allowed to say it's happening (or not). So far, all we really know that's coming down the pike is a Black Widow prequel film and a Shang Chi movie, which Feige confirmed is in the works. There have been rumors about casting for a movie based on The Eternals, and we can also expect sequels to Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain Marvel.
Still, even with two or three movies per year, Phase 4 is already looking pretty crowded. Marvel wants to continue its established franchises, especially after ending the stories of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Thor, Doctor Strange, and the Hulk all could make future appearances in the films. So, Rudd may be serious about a fan campaign for Ant-Man 3, if only to prove to Marvel Studios that fans want it. We'll learn more about the upcoming slate of Phase 4 films later this year during Marvel's presentation at D23.
What do you think? Should Ant-Man get a second sequel or should Marvel move on to other characters? Tell us in the comments below, or share the article on social media so your friends can get in on the conversation.

DALLAS (AP) - Dallas County commissioners have approved a "cite and release" program that allows police in Dallas to issue a court summons to those found possessing less than 4 ounces of marijuana instead of taking them to jail.
The Dallas Morning News reports commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to allow the program. The measure had been passed by the Dallas City Council but required county approval for implementation. Officials say the program will start Dec. 1.
Supporters say "cite and release" frees up police to focus on violent crimes.
Commissioner John Wiley Price was the only vote against the measure. He felt it didn't go far enough to help defendants and was unfair to people found with marijuana in areas of the county outside Dallas.

Discussion in 'Sharp' started by whunt18885, Jun 4, 2014.
Hopefully someone can help. We have 2 x Sharp MX2700N Printers. We were keen to implement better control over who prints and does not and get a record of these prints. With that in mind I added all the users into the User Account section on the printer config page making sure that the username I entered was EXACTLY the same as the users domain username and I also entered the same user passwords.
I assign the users to a new Authority Group that has FULL print permissions with no page limits etc. Despite all this the users can only print in mono and not colour. As soon as you turn of the User Access Control feature from the default settings on the printer page users can print fine but with it turned on nothing - No errors and the printer whirs into life but then winds down again after 2-3 seconds.
The issue is happening on all computers - I have tried every single driver I can find for the printer on several different computers but the issue is the same. Its related to the User Control feature because as I mentioned as soon as you turn this feature off all printing is fine.
I even tried testing by adding a user to the built in 'admin' authority group which has full rights but still the problem remains. The printer has been rebooted several times.

ASCAP Expo 2007, Day Two
Posted on May 10, 2007 by Alicia Bay Laurel	in Blog.
On the second day of the ASCAP Expo, I attended a lively class on collaborative songwriting taught by three illustrious New York songwriters whose collaborations include some pop hits. Organized by Keith Johnson of ASCAP's New York office as a birthday gift to himself, the standing room only audience enjoyed stellar performances and high level industry shop talk. Above, Keith opens the class.
Gordon Chambers, a singer/songwriter/producer, had always dreamed of being a professional musician as a child, and, truly he has a gorgeous voice, in a style reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. His first hit song, in 1994, was The Brownstone Song.
Barry Eastmond, a pianist/songwriter/producer, played some fabulous post-bop jazz to demonstrate his orientation before going into pop songwriting. He learned the forms and conventions of writing in this genre while working as a recording session player for pop music, and wrote a hit song dedicated to his wife, "You Are My Lady."
He and Gordon collaborated on "I Apologize," which they performed for us (above photo). He said he thinks about pop songs like a producer, "Is it radio? Get to the hooks. The more hooks the better, because that's what people remember." Gordon added, "A hook is something cool to say in today's language."
Phil Galdston has written songs with both Barry and Gordon, but his collaboration story was about writing Vanessa William's hit song "Save the Best for Last" with reknowned songwriter Wendy (Waldron?) who was nine months pregnant, but worked on the song for two days straight with Phil, with no sleep. The song began as an afterthought while they were working on another tune that still has never been produced.
Phil had thought of the title and jotted it down weeks before. He told us that professional songwriters constantly write down ideas, scraps of conversation, and interesting word and musical phrases for later use. To this end, Phil recommends taping everything that happens during a songwriting collaborative session. Gordon recommended that we "listen to phrases people say that hit your heart." Said Barry, "The hits I've had in my career came from my real life and my heart."
After the class, I met Martin and Jude, founders and producers of the invaluable Musician's Atlas, which gives current information each year on venues and media for touring performers.
Riccola Company, which makes herbal throat lozenges (and heaven knows, singers use throat lozenges from time to time), made an advertisement at the conference, with three singers and lots of free samples.

A Message from the Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia on its 75th Independence Day
Business | 17 Aug 2020 9:00 am
Mr. Ricky Suhendar, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia
On this auspicious occasion of the 75th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence Day, it is a tremendous pleasure and honor for me to extend my sincerest greetings to all Indonesians residing in Hong Kong and Macao. In this same opportunity, I would like to convey my warmest regards to the people of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region.
Indonesia – Hong Kong Relations
Hong Kong and Indonesia have shared a cordial relationship that we view as of great importance. In the past 70 years, warm ties between Indonesia, Hong Kong and China have been nurtured.
Since the President of the Republic of Indonesia H.E. Joko Widodo's visit to Hong Kong in 2017, and the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR Mrs. Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor's return visit to Jakarta in 2018, follow-up partnership has continued to progress, covering not only economic, trade and investment developments, but also the culture and education sectors.
Workers in Hong Kong
With regard to labour cooperation, we see that the number of Indonesian workers in Hong Kong is increasing every year. By 2020, more than 165 thousand Indonesians have registered as migrant workers in Hong Kong.
The protection of our workers is a shared responsibility between Indonesia and Hong Kong. I am grateful for the Hong Kong Government's commitment to protecting the rights and welfare of Indonesian workers in Hong Kong, especially those working as foreign domestic workers so that they can live and work in a safe and welcoming environment.
In such current situations as now, the Hong Kong Government has shown progressive efforts in collaboration, ensuring the best protection and service for all Indonesian workers in Hong Kong. We highly appreciate Hong Kong laws and regulations on the protection of foreign domestic workers, and we look forward to establishing stronger enforcement in order to guarantee the rights of these domestic workers.
Strong economic partnership
Hong Kong is one of the major trading partners and sources of investment for Indonesia. With its strategic and privileged location, Hong Kong has steadfastly committed to the enactment of the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle. The city is instrumental in connecting China with Indonesia and the world beyond, and vice versa.
In terms of investment, Hong Kong is among the top foreign investor sources for Indonesia in the past few years. In the first half of 2020, Hong Kong was the 3rd largest investor. Indonesia has been actively improving connectivity between different parts of the country through roads, railways, airports and other strategic projects, and we are very open to investment to help increase the competitiveness and improve the business environment of our country.
Hong Kong and Indonesia have been actively fostering cooperation in economic development. I am confident that the positive and strong collaboration between Indonesia and Hong Kong will lead to future developments that are mutually beneficial.
Boosting Tourism
China, including Hong Kong, is the largest source of foreign tourists to Indonesia.
Continuous efforts have been exerted to improve our tourism infrastructure and facilities to provide enhanced travel experience to visitors. We are actively trying to promote Indonesia's rich tourism destinations beyond Bali. The archipelago is brimming with attractions and unique offerings yet to be discovered.
The '10 New Bali', declared by President Joko Widodo in 2017, seeks to invite visitors to discover 10 designated destinations that truly reflect the beauty and culture of Indonesia. They include Lombok Mandalika, Borobudur Temple, Tanjung Lesung, The Thousand Islands, Tanjung Kelayang Beach, Mount Bromo, Labuan Bajo, Wakatobi, Morotai Island, as well as Lake Toba, which recently garnered a world-class certification as UNESCO's Global Geopark. To adapt to the current pandemic, Indonesia has geared up to reopen its tourism destinations and welcome back tourists while imposing stringent measures to mitigate health risks.
A warm celebration
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation once again to the government of the Hong Kong SAR for continuously maintaining and enhancing mutual benefits in our relation. To my fellow Indonesians in Hong Kong, may the 75th year of our independence be fulfilling to you. To the people in Hong Kong and Macao, may our bilateral relations continue to flourish and be mutually beneficial for both parties in the years to come.
Indonesia: A land of rising opportunities
Indonesia is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia and the fourth most populous nation after China, India, and the United States. It has maintained stability and gained recognition as one of Asia Pacific's most vibrant middle-income economies.
To support the advancing economy, Indonesia continues to reform policies intended to cut red tape and make it easier to conduct business and attract investment. Rapidly propelling the competitiveness of the business environment, Indonesia has climbed 34 places since 2015 to 72nd in terms of the ease of doing business in the World Bank's 'Doing Business 2018: Reforming to Create Jobs' report.
Hong Kong is an important economic partner to Indonesia. In the past few years, the foreign direct investment (FDI) from Hong Kong has sustained the top 4 in the list of foreign investors' sources for Indonesia. The realization of Hong Kong FDI to Indonesia in the first half of 2020 has reached US$1.8 billion, which puts Hong Kong as the third largest investor for Indonesia after Singapore and China. This demonstrates our strong cooperation even in such a testing time as now.
The recent initiatives of the management of China-Indonesia Economic and Trade Cooperation Zones industrial parks, as well as China Fortune Land Development (CFLD) International's Karawang New Industry City in Indonesia, have offered investment opportunities for Hong Kong private sectors to engage their projects which span integrated production, warehousing, and trade.
There is still immense potential for forging new partnerships. The Indonesian government offers many potential investment opportunities in sectors such as pharmacy, renewable energy, services, tourism, creative industries and vocational training.
Indonesia also gets in sync with the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution through strengthening start-up businesses with China, and leveraging Hong Kong's financial technology and global network to foster the country's technological development.
One can also ride on the newly announced US$33-billion project to build a new capital city in East Kalimantan province. As the project matures, it will be open to foreign investment soon, welcoming the inflow of foreign investors and their expertise.
In terms of trade, the Action Plan on Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) was signed between Indonesia and Hong Kong on June 26th, 2019. Once the MRA AEO Memorandum of Understanding is implemented, benefit in the form of trade facilitation will be yielded for the two parties.
Furthermore, with the entry into force of the ASEAN-Hong Kong Free Trade Area (FTA) last month, bilateral trade between Indonesia and Hong Kong will positively see further improvement. Hong Kong service providers will enjoy better business opportunities and legal certainty in the market access for different services sectors in Indonesia under the FTA.
Tourism and Social-cultural cooperation
Comprising of more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, five UNESCO Global Geoparks, as well as many other cultural attractions, making it the perfect destination for travelers. China, including Hong Kong, is the largest source of foreign tourists to Indonesia, with more than 50 thousand tourists from Hong Kong visiting Indonesia last year.
The Familiarization Trip program was inaugurated to promote Hong Kong people's visits to Indonesia. Curated for Hong Kong media, travel agents, travel vlogger/blogger, several representatives are invited to visit tourist destinations in Indonesia each year, providing them with an opportunity to experience authentic Indonesian warmth through its fascinating communities, soul-warming cuisine and stunning scenery.
Although the current coronavirus outbreak has grounded global tourism to a halt, the Indonesian tourism industry is all ready for massive changes until the world recovers from the pandemic and international travel begins again. Necessary health protocols, entry access and distancing measure are being prepared to embrace the new normal. We highly recommend you to design your own Indonesia Bucket List to prepare for visits once the pandemic is over.
Regarding cultural exchange, the Memorandum of Understanding on Cultural Cooperation has been signed between Hong Kong and Indonesia in 2017 to strengthen relations in art and culture as well as people-to-people contact. To build mutual understanding between people of Hong Kong and Indonesia, such interaction and exchange are of fundamental importance for the two parties.
Massive efforts have been exerted to promote people-to-people contact. The second Indonesian Language Program Course in Hong Kong will start at the University of Hong Kong in late 2020, promoting the Indonesian language among Hong Kong communities.
In terms of education, both Indonesia and Hong Kong offer scholarships to students. The Hong Kong Government's Belt and Road Scholarship has awarded around 40 Indonesian students since 2017. It is expected that this number will grow in the future. To date, there are hundreds of Indonesian students in Hong Kong, enrolled in many top universities.
The Indonesian Government also offers the Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship (IACS) for Hong Kong students. The IACS provides opportunities to those who are interested in learning about the Indonesian arts, culture, and language to stay in Indonesia for 3 to 4 months. A close network between IACS alumni is maintained through alumni talks, discussion and projects completed by alumni all over the world. Indonesia is aiming to have more Hong Kong students participating in this program in the future.
It is hoped that when the situation returns to normal in near future, Indonesian Consulate General would be able to engage Hong Kong arts and culture scene, such as the Hong Kong Flower Show, art, culinary and music festivals, to share Indonesian delicacies and rich cultures with the people of Hong Kong.

In May 1996, 164 pooled and single samples containing 913 larvae, nymphs and adults of Ixodes ricinus from urban, suburban and wooded biotopes of southern Poland were examined for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Ticks were collected by dragging a flag over the vegetation and B. burgdorferi was detected in pooled tick samples by darkfield microscopy or isolated by cultivation in BSK-II medium. Minimum infection rates of nymphs, males and females in the area were 8.2, 9.8 and 10.3%, respectively. Infection of adult I. ricinus ticks on 10 localities fluctuated from 4.0 to 15.0% and over 10% of adult ticks in forests and in some urban and suburban parks of the city Katowice were infected. Five Borrelia strains were isolated from the adult I. ricinus ticks. Relative density of ticks ranged from 20-65 ticks per one collecting hour and from 3.3-10.8 ticks per 100 m2, respectively. Frequent occurrence of ticks was also observed in urban parks and residential districts of the city Katowice. The results refer to the risk of human and animal infections by borreliae in the areas of big cities in southern Poland.

On July 17, 1990, Father Thomas Smith wrote to his bishop, Donald Trautman, thanking him for meeting with him and expressing appreciation for the bishop's faith in him and his quest to return to the active ministry.
At the time, Smith, who had served at a number of churches in the Erie diocese in northwestern Pennsylvania, was on leave of absence, his third such leave since being ordained as a Catholic priest in 1967.
His absences were termed, in diocese records, as "health leaves."
The reality of the matter is each of the leaves occurred after the church received reports that Smith had raped children, the diocese responding to the reports by sending Smith to a church-run treatment facility, according to this week's Pennsylvania grand jury report on the Catholic child sex scandal.
While in treatment, Smith told counselors he had raped 15 young boys, some as young as 7, threatening them with violence if they told and invoking the name of God to justify his actions.
He had first been treated in 1984, and then again in 1986 and 1987. Counselors at the treatment facility reported to the diocese that Smith had a "'driven, compulsive and long-standing' obsession with sexually assaulting children," according to the grand jury report. The counselors noted that Smith had continued to rape children even after his first stint in treatment.

Smith was in treatment again when he met with Trautman and expressed his desire to return to a parish. In a letter, previously, he had described his "gifts and accomplishments" in "working with young people," the report noted.
Trautman wrote in a memo that he was impressed by Smith's "candor and sincerity" and suggested he would wait another year and a half before considering a new assignment for the priest.
In his note to Trautman, Smith expressed relief.
"So why did I worry?" he wrote.
Why indeed.
Smith returned to the ministry and became active in a program called "Isaiah 43."
"Isaiah 43" is a ministry for Catholic children.
Yes, why did he worry?
The church had his back.

It is a common tale. The grand jury report contains numerous stories about priests accused of committing terrible crimes against children, repeatedly protected from the consequences of their actions by the church.
Some priests, when an allegation was raised at one church, were simply transferred to other parishes. In other cases, instead of reporting abuse to law enforcement, the church sent priests for psychiatric treatment at church-run facilities. In yet other cases, the church attempted to discredit victims or blame victims for the crimes committed against them.
The grand jury found 301 priests who had committed such crimes and more than 1,000 victims, noting that there were certainly more, numbers that raise the question: How did the church keep such widespread criminal activity quiet for so many decades?
Keeping the lid on child abuse
If you consider the culture of the church – a culture of secrecy and deception embedded in its history – it's not surprising that it was able to keep a lid on widespread child abuse, said Kristen Houser, chief public affairs officer with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape.
In that way, what the Catholic church has done is not that much different than how Penn State responded to charges that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had molested and raped numerous children.
"The initial impulse is to protect the institution, whether that institution is a church or a university or a football program," Houser said.
There is an element of authority in both cases, that parishioners have absolute faith and trust in the leadership of the church, just as Penn State football fans had absolute loyalty and trust in Joe Paterno and the university's leadership. In the case of the church, though, you're dealing with men who are God's representatives on earth, Houser said. To question them is to question God.
As state Attorney General Josh Shapiro said at a news conference, "We saw Catholic priests weaponizing their faith, using their faith as a tool of the abuse, and all the while the bishops, the monsignors, the cardinals covered it up."
The grand jury report described the church's massive coverup of these crimes, and while each case differed slightly in the details, they all contained similar elements, "as if there was a script."
"While each church district had its idiosyncrasies," the grand jury reported, "the pattern was pretty much the same. The main thing was not to help children, but to avoid 'scandal.' That is not our word, but theirs."

Playbook for concealment
The FBI's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime – the division within the bureau that provides profiles of violent criminals, among other things – reviewed much of the evidence received by the grand jury and concluded that its analysis of the material revealed something akin to "a playbook for concealing the truth."
First, they reported, the church employed euphemisms for sexual assault, referring to the crime not as rape, but as "inappropriate contact" or "boundary issues." In one case, the grand jury reported, a priest's repeated and violent sexual assaults of children were referred to as "his difficulties."
Then, the church did not conduct genuine investigations, often limited to just asking suspected abusers a few questions and accepting what they said as gospel.
And if a priest had to be removed from his church, they were directed to announce it as "sick leave," or to not say anything at all. For appearance sake, they were to send the priest for "evaluation" at a church-run psychiatric facility that, more often than not, concluded that the offender was not a pedophile and could return to ministering the faithful.

If it became known in the community that a priest was a "problem," they were to transfer him to another parish where nobody knew he was a child molester. That happened frequently, the grand jury reported. One priest was transferred from Allentown to New Mexico and west Texas after accusations of abuse came to light. He was later arrested in Briscoe County, Texas, for molesting a boy, one of his numerous victims he found in his new location.
And, finally, church officials were told: don't call the cops. "Handle it like a personnel matter, 'in house,'" the grand jury reported.
There were several instances reported by the grand jury in which sexual abuse was reported to local police or prosecutors by victims or their parents. Few of those cases wound up being prosecuted.
In one case, a police officer wrote a letter to the church, suggesting that it do something about a certain priest before there was violence. In another, former Beaver County District Attorney Robert Masters wrote a letter to the bishop for Pittsburgh's diocese to report that he would not be investigating accusations against a priest "in order to prevent unfavorable publicity."

And when all else fails, lie.
In the case of Smith, he did have something to worry about.
After the Boston Globe's groundbreaking reports on the abuse scandal were published in 2002, the families of some of Smith's victims sued him and the church, making the accusations that Smith had raped children and that the church helped cover it up.
On March 15, 2002, in response to a query from the press, the bishop said, "We have no priest or deacon or layperson that I know of that has, in any way, a pedophile background."
In November 2004, responding to public pressure, Trautman wrote to the Vatican to ask that Smith be removed from the priesthood, which the Vatican did in 2006.
The announcement of Smith's removal from the priesthood was simple.
"Dismissed from the clerical state on June 10, 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI," it said. "Nothing else need be noted."
