Which Bitcoin Dice Sites Are Provably Fair?
Cyrus McNally
Which Bitcoin Dice Sites Are Actually Provably Fair?
Today we'll be giving you a refresher course on what "provably fair" means, how it applies to Bitcoin Dice games, and how to make sure that the dice site on which you are playing actually employs usage of a provably fair system. We'll also review a few dice sites that make proper use of provably fair systems so you have an idea of what to expect, and how to verify your results.
What Does "Provably Fair" Mean?
In short, a provably fair game is one whose outcome is based on a cryptographic (mathematic) function that can be independently verified, meaning the result is transparent and cannot be altered. Although nobody (outside of the casino) can know the result of a bet before it is made, anyone can verify the legitimacy of the result as long as they have 3 pieces of information:
Server seed – revealed by the gambling site after a bet has concluded
Client seed – adjustable string of characters provided by the bettor (or the browser if left unchanged)
Nonce – a number that represents which bet was made in the sequence of bets, increases by 1 after each bet
The outcome of every dice roll is generated by combining these 3 variables. Obviously, the server seed cannot be displayed until after all betting has been concluded, because if it was given to the player ahead of time it would be possible for them to know the outcome of every dice roll before they placed a bet. For a more detailed explanation of what provably fair is and how it works, click here to read our extended article on the subject.
How Do You Verify That A Bet Is Provably Fair?
Basically, it's not good enough for a dice site to advertise itself as offering "provably fair" betting; it must be possible for the bets to be verified. In order to do this, you will need access to the 3 variables mentioned above, and a way to verify them. For the 3 sites we are listing below, you can enter each variable into a provably fair verifier. Just enter in the server seed hash and/or server seed, client seed, and starting nonce (usually 0 or 1), and press the "Verify" button to reveal your expected roll result. It should match your actual roll.
If you are using other dice sites, there are ways to manually verify the provably fairness of a roll which are a bit more complicated than using a verified, but the process is explained very well in this guide.
What Are Some Reputable Provably Fair Dice Sites?
Here are a few Bitcoin Dice sites that have been around for a while and have a handle on what they are doing. We can recommend them to our readers with full confidence as they all not only deliver a compelling gameplay experience but have a reputation for being remarkably honest as well, which includes making proper use of provably fair systems.

A Conversation With…
A Conversation with Amanda Byers of TuneFind
Jan 06, 2017 by Bill King Comments
What has a data base of 100,600 songs, 37,200 artists, 39,000 television episodes and 638,500 in store links in 13 countries?
Musicians scouting for new revenue streams have become aware of the rewards of having a recorded song included in the many binge-watch series springing up on a continual basis. Everything from NASCAR to HBO, music is playing a central role in elevating the visuals. There are numerous on-line resource brokers playing for the dollars – both sides. Charging a placement fee and charging for personal time.
This is where the 'new money' resides. Check out Kaleo's – "Way Down We Go" – appearing in two episodes of Empire, also Eyewitness, Notorious, Frequency, The Vampire Diaries – no less than eleven placements.
I roped entertainment journalist Gloria Martin in for my last radio show of 2016 at CIUT 89.5 FM. Gloria reviewed film and television and I hunted down the best soundtracks of 2016. Only weeks prior I received a message from communications officer Amanda Byers of TuneFind about doing an interview. The conversation runs below. I decided to put the site to a test. This is when it all began to make sense.
I like so many am hooked on pay-as-you play and years detached from expensive cable – and am always curious about the music used in these series. Rather than hunt through reams of sites, I scanned TuneFind and not only found what I was anticipating - but found new music, to my ears far more compelling than the top ten pop list on YouTube etc. TuneFind's story is most interesting.
Bill King: TuneFind is basically a tracking resource of music used in films and television – a way to log and determine the most popular?
Amanda Byers: That's our focus. It started out as television then we added movies a couple years later.
B.K: How long has the company been in operation?
A.B: Since 2005. We are hitting eleven years. Our founder, Matt Garlinghouse was sitting on a couch and heard a song and desperately wanted to know. At that time, he thought the Internet knew everything and tried to find it. There was nothing, no information anywhere. It happened again the same week with another show and he thought there really seemed to be a gap here and decided to put together the very first version of our website which was super simple – very basic, with a couple of shows on it. Over the following months people started noticing soundtracks in TV shows and asking the same questions as him.
People started coming to the website to help identify the songs and built a real collaborative community to tie-in the music. Things really snow-balled from there. We now cover just under 800 television shows – many from around the world. Canada was actually one of the first regions we began expanding into because a lot of Canadian shows get fair airtime in the U.S. as well. The last couple of years we've expanded our international focus. Thanks to Netflix streaming stuff all over and we now have stuff from Denmark, Norway and other kind of cult hits that have taken off.
B.K: With Netflix there's a wide range of music that can inhabit the various self-produced shows from vintage R&B to 70s punk.
A.B: You get some rich storylines. The shows are getting stronger and more complex and really interesting characters. The music supervisors who work on these shows get the opportunity to create all kinds of moods. Different characters can bring out different sounds. It must be a lot of fun for them.
B.K: How do you go about tracking and gathering information?
A.B: It really started as a fan site and has a small staff. Matt was sitting on his couch where he created the first fan site while having a day job in another world. There are three of us working on it in various capacities. A developer, me and our founder. The vast majority of content comes from either the music supervisors themselves – those choosing the songs that appear in the shows. Many will send sound lists for input. A huge amount of content actually comes from our "user" base. We have over 2,000,000 "active users" a month who are submitting sounds and we have a verification algorithm. You can submit a song but it's not validated until we have a reasonable degree of confidence in it. With 800 shows on the site we can't possibly watch all of them. Our "users" vote if they have heard a song or not. And help us sort out which version of the song is the right one.
Based on our "users" accuracy over time, we give them more power on the site. They can help us verify songs much more quickly. We have an eco-system built up around contribution and accuracy.
B.K: How does TuneFind make money from this?
A.B: Affiliate revenue. We wait for folks to purchase on Amazon or iTunes and we also have advertising on site. Our registered logins don't see ads but our casual users do see advertising.
B.K: Do you have to deal with licencing or royalty issues?
A.B: No, not at all. We are sort of the Wikipedia of what songs have appeared. There are times an artist will reach out to us and ask if their song really appeared in a show. We recommend they go back to music supervisors and get the cues and if there is a case where they feel they haven't gotten the licencing documents or paid, they can deal directly with the show.
B.K: I assume the playlist is in constant change?
A.B: We run it weekly and highlight the top songs from the past week, which is always shifting based on whatever the hot show is or big dramatic moment.
B.K: How do you track the number of plays?
A.B: Through "user" activity when people click on our play previews or click through to iTunes to purchase the song. We can see what "users" are clicking on.
B.K: What have been the most popular songs the past few years – I imagine any song in a Disney film?
A.B: So true. When I got involved with the site I was surprised how popular those songs were. I didn't have kids at the time. It was under my radar.
Every year there are a handful of songs that really pop for people. This year there were two that really stuck with people, one being Andra Day "Rise Up!" It was used in a couple of big moments on TV and got a lot of attention. It was used in more than a few places and every time it popped up people really responded to it. It had a big moment in Grey's Anatomy and the Blacklist. You recognize the big moment and see how the music is the perfect match for the mood and theme. It hits you and you really want to find it.
B.K: I would assume the Game of Thrones theme got people's attention? So many period and fantasy productions since are adopting a similar tone.
A.B: HBO does a great job with their theme songs. They are evocative and have done a spectacular job of creating the right mood and tone for the next hour of your life.
B.K: WithJustified, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad – those classic binge-watches kicked in, it was truly the opening themes that let you know where you were about to be transported.
A.B: The Sopranos was one of the first theme songs that took. I used to fast-forward through the intro but my husband made us stop and listen to the theme song.
B.K: What's ahead?
A.B: More and more. We are trying to expand our coverage even more. The past two years we've had a big up-tick in the shows we are covering from the UK, Canada, Australia. We'd like to keep adding more. In this new world of streaming, people don't have the same borders we've been used to. They are watching shows across all borders and we want to make sure we are covering that.
Moving forward there is an opportunity for us to look at video games. They have gotten really sophisticated in how they approach their music soundtracks.
Closing thought.
Laura Mvula – "Show Me Love" from episode 712 – Requiem for a Slut from Shameless, absolutely floored me. I have played this for musician friends, studio engineers; anyone who will listen and all agree – this is music of great innovation and emotional power. Thanks TuneFind!

Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Freeman Hospital is in the list of TOP 15 clinics in Europe. Services here range from general surgery, hip and knee replacements, and digital hearing aids to the usage of latest technologies in hearing restoration and the treatment of complex diseases of liver, pancreas, and kidneys.
The clinic representatives will contact you to answer all your questions and help you book an appointment.
Capacity: 500 beds.
Specializations include Cardiology, Visceral surgery, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Psychology, Pulmonology, Oncology, Radiology, Rheumatology, Traumatology, Urology.
Freeman Hospital is a large multi-disciplinary hospital with a wide range of medical services. The clinic has earned an international reputation due to the highest level of services in all areas and a very friendly environment that promotes recovery by itself.
However, not all sectors in the hospital are equally developed, some deserve special attention, as they have already earned this attention from the world community. For example, Freeman Hospital has Europe's leading research center in the field of Urology and the regional center of Urology. There is also a specialized group for the study, detection and control of Sleep disorders.
Continuous investment in research gives patients the chance to cure diseases that were previously incurable. More effective methods and treatment regimens are annually implemented in the work of hospital centers. This allowed to bring the otorhinolaryngology clinic and, in particular, the issue of hearing impairment to an unattainable level for other European clinics.
But what really sets Freeman Hospital apart and has earned it an international reputation is its pioneering expertise in transplant surgery for adults and children. Here, in 1987 the first successful heart transplant in the UK was performed. Now, it is one of Europe's leading lung transplant centres, performing Europe's first single lung transplant and first double lung transplant.
The clinic staff continues to implement innovations, introducing a "mechanical heart" service in 2003, keeping adults and children alive until a suitable donor heart becomes available.
Regardless of the reason for visiting the clinic, all of the staff strive to provide you with the most advanced medical services with a personal touch.

Feature Rad Kadillac Productions' 9-year career arc | Feature Story
Rad Kadillac Productions' 9-year career arc | Feature Story
by Andrew Stellmon | published May 28, 2015
#bodega's #edm #jam-bands #justin kadlec #nicholas radil #omaha ne #rad kadillac productions #rad kaillac #skrillex
As Rad Kadillac founders Justin Kadlec and Nicholas Radil chart how two music fans who really just wanted to see their favorite bands grew a successful promotional engine, the list of memorable shows piles higher and higher.
The pair are largely responsible for bringing the mix of national EDM and jam-band acts that fills a genre gap in the state. Skrillex outdoors in Lincoln in 2014. Primus outdoors in Benson in 2011. Widespread Panic, Government Mule, Bassnectar, Cherub and EOTO.
Kadlec and Radil sit around the living room of Kadlec's midtown Omaha home, remembering how they ran errands with Dave Schools of Widespread Panic or chauffeured Phish's Mike Gordon to a Doobie Brothers show in their 1981 Cadillac. A selection of framed show posters hang throughout, at once trophies of their accomplishments and souvenirs from beloved concert experiences. After hundreds of shows and almost a decade, excitement, anxiousness and amazement are still visible on their faces, still audible in the timbre of their voices.

This Saturday, Rad Kadillac will celebrate its ninth anniversary in much the same way it began. Portland's reggae rock band Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons — the band that performed at the first ever Rad Kadillac show — will play Bodega's Alley (RSVP here). For Kadlec and Radil, it's a nostalgic full-circle show, a "back to basics" event.
"[We decided], let's do it at Bodega's and make it kind of a fun, packed, weirdo night," says Kadlec, president and booking agent at Rad Kadillac Productions. "We can't believe it's been nine years, though."
Flash back to their college days, when both were pretty heavy into the jam band scene. Kadlec answered an ad in the Daily Nebraskan (pre-internet) taken out by a Kansas promotional company, looking for people who "like to go to concerts for free."
"I called the number and ended up as a street-team person … and I caught the bug," Kadlec says.
He began working security for Lincoln's Rococo Theater in 2004, working his way up to booking agent and laying the foundation for what would become his network of connections. Two years into his position, Kadlec says a noise ordinance stifling volume at the venue forced him to make a decision that could allow him to book the shows he wanted without external restrictions.
"Nic and I got together and were like, 'Are you tired of driving three hours-plus to see the music that we like?'" Kadlec says.
Radil was working a full-time job then, and he says that what he lacked in booking experience he made up for in logistical skills and capital. With no time to travel to Kansas City or Chicago or Denver to see a show, and given their shared musical tastes and complementary skills, he says Kadlec's proposal was too good to pass up.
They launched Rad Kadillac from scratch, weathering many of the imaginable roadblocks and growing pains. Chief among those was an attendance problem. Radil notes that the company took a lot of financial hits at the beginning because people simply didn't know who they were or didn't yet trust them. They still jokingly refer to those shows as "private parties."
"The first shows we were doing at Knickerbockers, we were thrilled if we got 50 people to show up," says Radil, vice president and CFO of Rad Kadillac Productions. "It's like people aren't willing to try something new unless they know some other people are also doing it."
Initially, there were only a handful of few venues that took a chance on Rad Kadillac. The first in Omaha was Club Roxbury, then located in an old strip-mall on 108th and Q.
"They did this weird thing where they would segregate with a velvet rope the 21 year olds from the under 21 year olds," Radil says. "But we needed a place in Omaha and that was the only place in Omaha we had access to at the time."
At that point, they were printing their own tickets on card stock, taking payments through PayPal and mailing them with "artsy crafty" ink stamps Radil found around the house. This allowed them to cut third-party costs for ticket purchasers and get tickets directly into their hands.
They credit social media, dating all the way back to MySpace, as one of the biggest factors that helped gain some early traction. Radil developed a script for the site the would paste show posters onto their friends' pages en masse, hitting thousands at a time.
"This thing would just churn through and do it, rather than having to click one at a time," Radil says. "We could do that in a very quick manner, rather than trying to find [people] wherever they're at and hand them a paper flier like we had to do before social media."
Also in lieu of flyers, they launched Rad Kadillac Radio Hour in early 2012. A CD forerunner to the podcast form, Kadlec assumed the radio personality of Kadillac Man to host each episode, previewing upcoming shows with artist songs and updates, as well as discussions on future events.
For all the production hours it took, Kadlec and Radil label the development a turning point in their ability to promote. They passed out thousands of CDs at venues and events like UNL's Big Red Welcome and streamed each episode online to reach as wide of an audience as possible.
"It was a constant digital flier, in a sense," Kadlec says. "I think it really helped people hear [the music] we were bringing."
While at first the promise of electronic and jam bands appealed to smaller niche audience, Kadlec and Radil say it's helped in the long run. Acts like Bassnectar, EOTO and Skrillex, which they booked very early on in their respective careers, keep coming back because of their long term commitment to the genres.
"Maybe they come once and maybe the attendance wasn't the greatest the first time, but by making that personal connection, they still want to come back and give it a shot," Radil says.
"Professionalism is the key," he adds. "If you do something that ruins your reputation with one of the main agents — and there aren't a ton of them — you're done."
Kadlec describes the pair as a yin and yang, a perfect balance between dreaming big and making practical decisions. To many, Kadlec is the face of the company, outgoing and excitable. Internally, Radil is the essential anchor.
"You have to make sure you're realistic in your expectations," Radil says. "We'd love to have 10,000 people at every show, but we're not booking Taylor Swift, so we can't guarantee that's going to happen every time."
Where Kadlec's ambition is seemingly boundless, Radil holds the reigns of pragmatism. He has been most instrumental at the bargaining table. Each potential show is thoroughly researched, all of the numbers calculated to determine how big a show can be, or if it's even worth it.
"We wouldn't be where we are today without Nic behind the scenes and calming me down," Kadlec says.
Their overall measured approach and ability to maintain connections has allowed them to think big in certain situations. They cite the Skrillex in the Streets event, which they hosted in October with the help of The Bourbon. The now-famous EDM artist's agent approached Rad Kadillac about doing an "underground" show, or anything other than a venue. They relished the challenge.
"We had done Primus in the streets," Radil says. "[We thought], wouldn't it be awesome to do something in the streets of downtown Lincoln, three blocks from where the students are?"
Both sang the praises of the city of Lincoln and of Jeremiah Moore, owner of The Bourbon, for supporting an unconventional idea.
"It was really awesome that [the city of Lincoln] actually played ball and were really supportive of trying something new," Radil says.

They see all of this as indicative of a larger trend in the scene, in which venues and promoters work closely, and improvements in amenities make it easier to book bigger and bigger acts. The Waiting Room revamped itself in 2010 to allow a bigger capacity. Slowdown has showers and washing machines. All of these factors add up to more attractive opportunities for touring acts.
"The quality of venues has made our job easier," Kadlec says. "You go into a place like the Slowdown or Waiting Room and for clubs of that size … [artists] can't believe what they're walking into."
The aim of Rad Kadillac has never been to compete with these venues. They say it's nearly impossible to make money from this business without having a physical location, or partnering with one.
Instead, Rad Kadillac exists as a way to share the acts they enjoy with as wide of an audience as possible. To not only provide a memorable experience for themselves, but for artists and patrons.
"Ultimately, [it's] that rush that you get when the lights finally turn down and you see everyone out there having a good time," Kadlec says. "To be able to share that with thousands of people in a night … that's a cool little gig to have, in my book."

Week 3 picks: Who will win in Bayside South football
Richard Pollitt
The Daily Times
Nandua (1-2) vs. JMB (1-1)
Bennett's football team hit a bump in the road Sept. 9 against Kent Island.
The squad let up 47 points, turned the ball over three times and failed to find the end zone throughout the first half. It was only once Kent Island put in its backups that JMB was able to get on the scoreboard.
The Clippers could easily be sitting at 0-2, but a 42-yard field goal by kicker Stephen Oscar gave Bennett the win in Week 1. With some major questions still to be answered, JMB doesn't have much longer to decide how the 2017 season is going to play out.
Despite the early season struggles, Bennett will have a good chance to get back in the win column Friday night.
The Clippers face a Nandua team they defeated 43-29 last season. Although the score was only a 14-point gap, Bennett controlled the entire contest, and took advantage of Nandua's inexperience and mistakes.
The Warriors' have struggled early in 2017, with the team's only win coming vs. Windsor. Nandua was blown out by Rappahannock and allowed Arcadia to put up 52 points in the Warriors' last contest.

Bennett plays on the road, but with a strong running game from back Diondre Carter, who did have some success against Kent Island, the Clippers should cruise to a comfortable victory, raising their confidence as they prepare for a long stretch of conference games.
Bennett wins 31-12
Washington (1-1) vs. Decatur (1-1)
Despite the odds, Washington overcame injuries, a lack of players and the creation of a brand-new offense to get its first win of the season over Kent County.
Jaguars' quarterback Eric Ballard looked solid, tossing multiple touchdowns and running one in himself. Washington's defense held strong on fourth down and took advantage of every opportunity.
Just more than 35 miles down the road, Decatur didn't see the same success on offense it had experienced one week prior vs. Arcadia. The Seahawks' offense looked lost against Wi-Hi's defensive unit, resulting in an 8-3 Indians' victory.
Decatur's lone points came off a 29-yard field goal to end the half, and numerous penalties kept the Seahawks going backward rather than forward most of the game.
This matchup has the potential to go either way, with Washington at home riding a wave of momentum. Decatur has the weapons with running backs Tah'Jeem Woodland and Hayden Frazier to run all over the Jaguars, but will it be enough?
Washington is still the smallest team in the Bayside and runs a three-man line. Decatur's defense is much better than Kent County's, and now with a chip on their shoulders after losing last week, the Seahawks could come in with a fire that Washington simply can't stop.
Decatur wins 28-21
Snow Hill (0-2) vs. Arcadia (1-2)
The last time Snow Hill won a game was in October 2014.
That ends Friday.
Snow Hill looked good against Colonel Richardson throughout the first half of the team's Week 2 matchup, going into halftime down just 20-14.
But the second half is what affected Snow Hill's performance. Much like Washington, the Eagles are a smaller program, and simply don't have the number of players to substitute and keep athletes fresh.
When they're well rested, Snow Hill has dominant players like back A-Monty Allen and receiver Rayshone Baine. They still have a long way to go before competing with Bayside powerhouses like North Caroline and Kent Island, but this Eagles team does have the potential to finally win a game.
Arcadia was pulverized by Decatur in the team's only other game against a Bayside opponent, getting shut out 42-0 on the road. They will once again make the long drive to Worcester County, and although they should be able to find the scoreboard, it won't be enough to top Snow Hill.
The Eagles have waited a long time for the chance to get a victory. They are confident this is the team that can finally do it, and after coming close in the first half last week, that hunger will be too much to stop for Arcadia.
Snow Hill wins 24-14
Parkside (1-1) vs. Easton (1-1)
These two teams have similar stories that describe their seasond thus far: they dominated Week 1 and then struggled in Week 2.
Following a shutout win over Wi-Hi, Parkside didn't find the scoreboard until late in the third quarter against North Caroline. The team turned the ball over, committed penalties and couldn't get the run game going.
North Caroline may be the best team in the conference, but if Parkside wants to compete with the North teams, the Rams will need a much stronger showing from both its offense and defense.
Running back Nayel Oge is one of the best backs in the conference, but Easton does have a decent defensive front. The Warriors' defense held Washington to a 54-0 shutout to start the season, but couldn't contain the Queen Anne's attack Sept. 9.
Easton has several mistakes it must correct before making the long drive to Salisbury on Friday, but in front of an enemy crowd and against a Parkside team that is still trying to prove it belongs at the top of the Bayside, it will be difficult for Easton to find success.
Parkside wins 34-21
Wi-Hi (1-1) vs. Colonel Richardson (1-1)
Wi-Hi's defense finally displayed its strength last week against Decatur. The Indians held the Seahawks out of the end zone, and had their special teams not committed a penalty at the end of the half, they would have kept Decatur off the scoreboard.
Head coach Brian Hanson knew his team had work to do following Wi-Hi's 44-0 loss against North Caroline, and although the offense failed to stay consistent, it was the efficiency and lack of penalties on the defensive side that gave the Indians their first win.
They will face off against a Colonel team that struggled against JMB but flexed its muscles against Snow Hill.
Wi-Hi has a stronger defense than Snow Hill, so the unit should be able to keep Colonel's backs from gaining chunks of yards.
Senior Sylvens Mondestin has led the charge for the unit, and after North Caroline dominated the Indians in front of their home crowd, the Wi-Hi seniors should refuse to let another team do the same thing.
The Indians play in the Saturday game, giving the team an extra day to prepare. They turned their defense around after just five days of practice, and now Hanson hopes he can do the same with his offense.
Wi-Hi wins 20-14

As of February 26, 2020, the death toll from COVID-19 — the official name of the coronavirus first reported in Wuhan, China — passed 2,700, while the number of confirmed cases exceeded 80,000. Almost all were in China, most of them in Wuhan and the surrounding Hubei province. But more than 2,500 cases, including 46 deaths, had been reported in almost 40 other countries. A surge of cases and deaths in South Korea, Italy, and Iran caused new concern that the virus may be difficult to contain.1

Divorcing spouses don't always report all their income accurately. A party may try to understate, undervalue, or even hide certain marital assets but overstate liabilities. Here are tips on how to uncover hidden assets in your divorce.
It's always a bad idea to go through a contested divorce without legal help. If you're concerned about hidden assets, find an experienced divorce attorney in Colorado Springs.
Divorcing spouses make voluntary financial disclosures. Review the disclosures your partner makes. Check for errors or deliberate omissions. An independent appraisal can help you know the real value of contested properties or assets.
If you're not satisfied with the other party's voluntary disclosures, demand involuntary ones. The law mandates your estranged partner to respond to your requests for documents timely and truthfully. Materials that may help uncover financial infidelity include bank records, titles, tax filings, and trust records.
The answers given during a deposition are recorded. They may serve as an under-oath testimony in the family court. If there is a deposition during your divorce, ask questions on matters you need clarified or put on record.
If you're having problems uncovering hidden assets, it may be necessary to hire a private investigator or a forensic accountant. Your divorce attorney can refer you to these professionals.
Washington law requires divorcing parties to make a full disclosure of all their assets, income, and debts. Still, some spouses defy their lawyer's advice on financial reporting. Talk to a lawyer with experience in tracking hidden assets if you think your partner is trying to hide crucial information.

Raja Ampat is full of clown fish. Technically, it's full of all sorts of fish, but I think we saw at least one anemone fish on every dive during twelve days of exploring Raja Ampat with the Seven Seas.
Some underwater photographers might have grown bored of photographing clown fish, but even after shooting them for so many years I'm still trying to create the perfect clown fish photo.
One of my favorites is the shot that Apple used as the wallpaper for one of the early iPhones – really love the lighting, the color of the anemone, and the contrast of the orange clown fish against that green background.

Mike Cooney Cops To Campaigning On The Taxpayer Dime
Montana Democratic Lt. Governor and gubernatorial candidate Mike Cooney finds himself in hot water...
The RGA reports:
Montana Democratic Lt. Governor and gubernatorial candidate Mike Cooney finds himself in hot water, as new reporting concluded that Cooney used state resources to benefit his campaign.
In a breaking report from KRTV, Cooney admits to using his taxpayer-funded Capitol office to participate in a campaign strategy call with the Democratic Governors Association in April – in the midst of Montana's fight to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The report characterizes Cooney's actions as a potential "violation of state law":
State ethics law says public officeholders are prohibited from using "public time, facilities, equipment, supplies, personnel or funds" to solicit support or opposition to any candidate.
Cooney's campaign attempted to spin the violation as an "isolated incident" but an examination of his record shows a history of behavior that has raised similar ethics questions. In 2002, Cooney – who has been in office for more than four decades – was accused of using state government equipment for his political campaigns, after a campaign news release from his failed 2000 gubernatorial bid and lists of campaign donors dating back two decades were found within the state's official computer system.
"One would think a career politician who has been in office since before the Internet was invented would be familiar with state ethics laws, but it's clear Mike Cooney doesn't believe the rules should apply to him," said RGA Communications Director Amelia Chassé Alcivar. "If Montana taxpayers can't trust Mike Cooney to follow the law and quit campaigning on their dime, how can they trust him to lead the state?"

Innovative Business Degrees Launching Next Fall in Mississauga and Brampton
Sheridan announces five new business degrees
For Immediate Release: November 5, 2013
Sheridan College announces the launch of five innovative, four-year Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degrees in Accounting, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Human Resource Management and Marketing Management. The first class of students will begin their studies in September, 2014. For more information on the degrees visit: http://www.sheridancollege.ca/announce/new-business-degrees.aspx
Answering the Growing Demand for Business Education
"In the GTA, there is an estimated need for 40,000-75,000 spaces for undergraduate university students," notes Dr. Jeff Zabudsky, President & CEO of Sheridan College. "Demand for business education is particularly strong given the large scale retirements of baby boomers from the professional workforce and the fact that business programs at traditional universities are running at capacity." Peel and Halton Regions also face the additional challenges of having some of Canada's fastest growing communities, which further drives demand for business education.
Integrated, Reflective and Real-World Learning
"The first two years of the new BBA degrees will be common, in order to provide a solid grounding in business fundamentals," explains Sylvia Lowndes, Dean of the Faculty of Business. In addition to choosing one of the five areas of specialization, students are able to select one of three inter-disciplinary options -- International Business, Innovation & Entrepreneurship or Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability. "This will build their capacity to respond to new situations in a rapidly changing world and help them succeed personally and professionally in ways that better society."
"The new degrees also feature an innovative educational approach that guides the students through critical thinking, awareness, and evaluation of processes, in order to draw and articulate defensible conclusions," adds Lowndes. "In their final year students must also complete a community based Integrated Industry Project or Research Thesis. In parallel with their academic studies, students develop a Creative Learning Portfolio which fosters self-awareness, reflective practice and an open mindset through the integration of activities."
Building on Success
The five new degrees will build on the proven success of Sheridan's BBA Degree in Global Business Management and Sheridan's Advanced Business Administration Diplomas and Business Graduate Certificate Programs. Graduates of existing two year business diplomas and three year advanced business diploma programs at Sheridan and other Ontario colleges will be eligible for advanced standing in these programs. This will open an important pathway for students who previously may have felt that a degree credential was out of reach. By 2017, Sheridan expects to have 1,100 BBA students registered in all five BBA degree programs.
About Sheridan
Sheridan College is one of Canada's leading post-secondary institutions, offering over 100 diploma, certificate, and bachelor degree programs in an environment that fosters innovation and creativity. Approximately 5,000 students are enrolled in the Faculty of Business across Sheridan's three campuses. The Faculty of Business has recently been accepted for membership by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the U.S.-based international management accreditation body. Sheridan's business graduates are well positioned for career success in marketing, advertising, accounting, finance, travel and tourism, project management, human resources, and international business.

Opinion: Amy Coney Barrett a perfect choice for half of America
(CNN) Editor's note: Commentators weigh in on President Donald Trump's selection of Amy Coney Barrett. The views expressed in this commentary belong to the authors. View more opinion at CNN.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to shatter stereotypes about women throughout her career, helping to create a world in which, she said, women can be found "in all places where decisions are being made." She fought for equality for women as individuals, not as a monolithic group that thinks and acts the same. And Ginsburg worked to create the space for women to "develop [their] own talents, whatever they may be."
Women deserve the "equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities," she wrote in the landmark ruling, United States v. Virginia (1996).
The nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett embodies the idea that there isn't just one way for women to think, write and reason about the law. To be sure, Barrett has a different judicial philosophy than Ginsburg had. While Ginsburg believed in a living, evolving Constitution, Barrett believes judges should stick to the original meaning of the Constitution.
But there are some similarities between the "Notorious RBG" and the "Glorious ACB" (as some on Twitter have dubbed the nominee) -- a commitment to family, an equal partnership with their husbands and a dedication to the law.
What's clear is that Ginsburg's trailblazing career has paved the way for women with a range of judicial philosophies to sit on the federal courts. Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court is truly a triumph of Ginsburg's equality project.

Laura Coates: A judicial selection process that sets Lady Justice's blindfold on fire
I'm uncomfortable.
It's not Judge Amy Coney Barrett's qualifications. Her resume has been touted, her academic scholarship displayed. She has specific and recent experience serving as a federal appellate circuit court judge, albeit only for a short tenure.
Still, I'm uncomfortable with any judicial selection process that sets Lady Justice's blindfold on fire. This political trend of justice shopping, a relentless search for a judicial choir member receptive to a presidential preacher, has lit the proverbial match.
Any directive to find a political puppet whose strings can be hidden by the judicial robe should horrify the American people and enrage the entire judiciary at the very suggestion. It should especially enrage a nominee who must now prove there are indeed no strings attached, particularly if that string is a requirement to overturn longstanding precedent on a political whim.
Is Trump the first to seek or even nominate a Supreme Court justice whose record, personal or ideological convictions are music to the ears of even the most partisan politician? Of course not. Democratic presidents have been as invested in the ideological composition of the court as Republican presidents. Frankly it's baked into the constitutional recipe.
If the framers of the Constitution did not intend for this to be political, the president, an officeholder selected through a national election, would not have been chosen to nominate a justice, and the Senate would not have been expressly empowered to advise and consent on that nomination. Of course, if true representation were the goal, both chambers of Congress would have been included in the process.
In a presidential administration with a reputation for breaking norms critical to our republic, judicial shopping is one such norm that I actually wish would be broken.
The problem is not about the political novelty of a president acting in his party's own interest but rather the continual erosion of the separation of powers. The erosion of even professed objectivity and the normalizing of the expectation that a Supreme Court justice's opinion is a foregone conclusion -- before a litigant has been identified, any case or controversy has arisen.
Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
Then again, what can you expect when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proclaimed earlier this week to have the votes needed to confirm a nominee days before a nominee had even been named. McConnell may be willing to say the quiet part out loud, but don't expect the nominee to follow suit.
During the confirmation process, each nominee is savvy enough to parrot impartiality. Each has refused and, in the case of Barrett, likely will refuse to reveal how they intend to decide cases in advance -- and will state a deference to the concept of stare decisis, a concept whereby the judiciary respects Supreme Court precedent -- hedging just enough to placate Senate Judiciary Committee members eager to interpret that hedge as a wink and a nod, and just enough to aggravate members who see the insincerity but have no recourse to prove it.
But a profession by a judge that she will be impartial hardly serves as a guarantee. And that's precisely what Trump seems to be banking on: promise apolitical impartiality, deliver partisan predictability.

Paul Callan: Amy Coney Barrett has the head, heart and history to fill the SCOTUS seat
Amy Coney Barrett, a 48-year-old judge at the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, has the head, heart, and history to be an outstanding Supreme Court justice.
Head: Judge Barrett is a summa cum laude graduate of Notre Dame Law School, where she served as the executive editor of the law journal. After graduation, she worked as a law clerk to Judge Laurence Silberman of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and later as a law clerk to the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. These prestigious clerkships are probably among the most competitive in the US.
After briefly practicing law at the firm of Miller, Cassidy, & Larroca, Barrett returned to Notre Dame Law School in 2002 to teach constitutional law, federal court practice and statutory interpretation. In 2010, she was named as a law professor and later was honored as "distinguished professor of the year" on three occasions. Barrett was also awarded the Diane and M.O. Research Chair of Law. She published numerous articles for law journals and elsewhere during her 15-year academic career.
Heart: She is married to Jesse Barrett, also a Notre Dame Law School alum, and they have seven children under the age of 20. She is known to be an active participant at her children's school activities. Her qualities of selflessness, empathy and heart are demonstrated in her and her husband's decision to adopt two children from hurricane and strife-torn Haiti and to raise a child with Down Syndrome, her youngest Benjamin, who she has described as the children's "favorite sibling."
History: A jurist of formidable intellect, Barrett has authored more than 100 opinions, including some spirited dissents, since being named to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017. She is respected by conservatives as an originalist who looks to determine what the founders intended when they wrote the Constitution.
She is also a textualist, meaning a judge who tries to stick to the actual words used in a statute rather than imposing her own views. Those "living document" proponents of constitutional law should not worry. She would undoubtedly agree with the statement of her mentor, Justice Scalia, who described his judicial philosophy as, "I'm an originalist and a textualist, not a nut."
Sadly, the controversial decision of the Republicans to proceed with a Supreme Court nomination on the eve of the presidential election will undoubtedly inspire a bitter and rancorous response from Democrats at the Senate confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, given Barrett's stellar credentials, strong sense of faith and big supportive family, she promises to be a worthy successor to another woman of intellect, empathy and heart, the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Elliot Williams: If Republicans insist on flouting norms, they should be prepared for the consequences
Judge Amy Coney Barrett should not be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice.
This statement has nothing to do with Barrett's record. It has everything to do with how the confirmation of any replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg represents a flagrant insult to the basic norms of integrity and decency that should govern our country.
In February 2016, some nine months before Election Day, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell started a blockade of Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's selection to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. McConnell rationalized that "[t]he American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
What a difference four years makes. Within hours of Ginsburg's death, McConnell proclaimed that the Senate would immediately consider a Trump nominee, noting that Garland's nomination was different because the president and Senate were of different parties. It was a laughable level of hair-splitting that the framers never intended.
An even more impressive about-face came from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who said in 2016, "I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, 'Let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.'" His moment of aw-shucks candor also had a 4-year expiration date.
If shamelessness and mendacity were virtues, most Senate Republicans would have secured their places in heaven this week.
There are many reasons not to proceed with this nomination, and any one of them should be dispositive: polls demonstrate consistently and clearly that the public wants the winner of the election to select the nominee; the Senate has never confirmed a Supreme Court nominee this close to an election; the President has sown doubt about election results and made clear that he wants a hand-picked justice in place to resolve disputes about his own re-election. And on and on.
That the President and his allies can ram through a nomination now doesn't mean they should. While the prospect of a 6-3 Supreme Court majority is surely intoxicating, Republicans ought to proceed with caution. Democrats have noted that "everything is on the table" for possible reforms to the Senate or federal courts, should they take power.
If Republicans insist on flouting norms and twisting the truth to get a nominee through, they should be prepared for the consequences that await them. At this point, they've forfeited any right they will have to complain.

Barbara Perry: A Catholic court? What Amy Coney Barrett's nomination means
Presuming Senate confirmation for President Donald Trump's third Supreme Court nomination, Judge Amy Coney Barrett would become the sixth Roman Catholic on the nation's highest court, joining John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, and Brett Kavanaugh. Neil Gorsuch was raised Catholic but attends an Episcopal church. Stephen Breyer and Elana Kagan are Jewish.
For most of the court's history, it has been distinctly Protestant. As Catholic immigrants arrived on our shores, especially in the mid- to late-19th century, however, presidents saw an opportunity to court their votes by naming one of their faith to the high bench.
From 1894 to the present, there has rarely been a time when at least one Roman Catholic didn't sit on the Supreme Court. Presidents informally created a "Catholic seat" there, as they would a "Jewish seat," in 1916, with Woodrow Wilson's appointment of Louis Brandeis.
Usually these justices passively represented their religions, simply making the court look slightly more like America, though no racial minorities or women would be nominated until 1967 and 1981, respectively. After John F. Kennedy's 1960 election as the first Catholic president, his co-religionists felt more included in government, and the "Catholic seat" concept ebbed.
By 1988, three Catholics served (William Brennan, Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy), and they represented three distinct segments of the ideological spectrum -- liberal, conservative, and moderate, which informed their positions on the leading cultural controversy of their time. Brennan supported Roe v. Wade, Scalia wanted it overturned and Kennedy shaped a middle ground, upholding the right to abortion but allowing for more regulations.
Under Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, a nominee's Catholic affiliation became shorthand for his or her desire to repeal reproductive rights. If and when Barrett takes her seat on the Supreme Court, that 40-year-old Republican policy goal may well come to fruition.

Shan Wu: Trump is sending a clear message: Make America White again
What strikes me about President Donald Trump's choice of Amy Coney Barrett is who he didn't pick. On his short list were several persons of color: Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, former Solicitor General Noel Francisco, and sitting judges James Ho, Amul Thapar and Barbara Lagoa.
Lagoa -- thought to be the runner-up -- seemed to be a particularly strong candidate. A worshipper at former Justice Antonin Scalia's altar of originalism and a child of Cuban exiles, she was the first Hispanic woman appointed to the Florida Supreme Court. Her nomination could have endeared Trump to more voters in Florida, as well as Hispanic communities in Nevada and Arizona.
But he didn't choose her or any person of color.
Instead, President Trump reaffirmed his commitment to reject diversity and inclusion by choosing a white Catholic during an unprecedented moment of racial awareness in America. His message could not be clearer: Make America White Again.
Barrett personifies the end product of Trump's assembly line of Federalist Society-approved judicial nominations. Her record of about 100 written opinions leaves zero doubt that she is an ideologically and politically motivated judge. This is exactly what Trump needs in an election that the United States Supreme Court may end up deciding.
There's little danger here of a Justice Neil Gorsuch-like streak of independent thinking ruining an otherwise perfectly good replay of the Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision that awarded the presidency to George W. by judicial fiat. No, she is a jurist who can be depended on to elevate political ideology over legal analysis.
In picking Barrett, Trump promises his base a return to an earlier, whiter, more Christian America. So it was. So it shall be.

Elie Honig: Obamacare could be the first casualty of a newly aligned court
The first and most important thing you need to know about President Donald Trump's selection of Amy Coney Barrett as the next justice of the Supreme Court is this: 6-3.
The cold, hard math tells the tale. Once Barrett is confirmed by the Senate, which seems all but certain, given the Republican party's 53-47 Senate majority, the court will consist of six traditionally conservative justices and three liberal ones.
Even before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, the Supreme Court was already tilted in favor of the conservative bloc, with a 5-4 split. Chief Justice John Roberts repeatedly bucked traditional ideological alignment and emerged as an unpredictable swing vote, joining with the liberal justices in key rulings on LGBTQ rights, immigration, the census, and Trump's financial records. But Roberts still has long conservative roots, and a 6-3 slant means even his crossover vote won't be enough to swing the outcome on pivotal cases.
The first casualty of the newly-aligned court could be the Affordable Care Act, the biggest case on the docket. The ACA barely survived in 2012 by a 5-4 vote, with Roberts joining the four liberal justices. And even if Barrett is not confirmed in time for the ACA case, a tie vote of 4-4 would uphold a lower court ruling, which struck down the ACA's individual mandate, putting the entirety of the law in jeopardy. And if the ACA falls, millions of Americans would lose health coverage.
Ginsburg understood perhaps better than anyone that Supreme Court decisions impact real lives. We could soon see that play out in a very tangible way.

Home Nation J&K: Governor Orders to Fast Track Probe in Bandipora Rape Case
J&K: Governor Orders to Fast Track Probe in Bandipora Rape Case
Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik directed police to complete investigations in the alleged rape of a three-year-old girl in Bandipora district on a fast track basis.
The state police has constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the rape case and one person has been arrested.
The governor has also directed the Divisional Commissioner and the Inspector General of Police of Kashmir to personally monitor the investigation, an official spokesman said.
The spokesman said a separate inquiry has also been ordered to check the veracity of the age of the accused and ascertain the authenticity of the age certificate.
Preliminary medical examination of the man accused of raping the girl has shown that he is not a juvenile, police said.
The governor also appealed to the people not to pay heed to rumours and said rumour mongers will be dealt strictly as per the law, he said.
"On learning about the unfortunate incident, the governor immediately spoke to S P Pani, IGP Kashmir, and took a detailed review of the ongoing investigations into the case," the spokesman said.
Governor Malik directed the IGP to work swiftly in the case and ensure that the culprit gets exemplary punishment.
The governor has also spoken to religious leaders of different communities and asked them to deplore the incident, and appeal to the people to remain calm and not let anti-social elements disturb peace and harmony, the spokesman said.
Earlier in the day, over 40 security personnel, including an officer, and seven civilians were injured as clashes broke out in Jammu and Kashmir during a protest against the alleged rape of the girl.

Q: Unit testing - ignoring module run block Is there a way to prevent an application run block from executing during unit tests?
My situation is that I have added some session checking logic to the run block, which redirects to a login page should session checks fail.
Now that I have added this run block in, all my other tests fail since they expect the login page to have been requested as I'm not ensuring the session check returns true before each test.
So is there a way to skip the run block for a unit test, or would it be something like mocking out the module in my tests so it doesn't have the run block included?
I'm probably thinking about this the wrong way, so please enlighten me!
Thanks

A: No, run block is part of angular app lifecycle.
I would suggest not to have this logic in .run, but transfer all authentication logic into some service. After that its easy to mock it.
If you can be more specific about app architecture, I can suggest more improvements.

This Bowie is a finger puppet – I've been enjoying playing around with knitted finger puppets this year and will definitely make some more Bowie puppets soon. If you fancy giving Low Bowie a home, there should be one in my Etsy shop.

Australia's Oil Search Ltd. said on Aug. 1 it has resumed operations at the Agogo production facility which was knocked out by a major earthquake in Papua New Guinea in February.
Production has begun at an initial rate of about 2,000 barrels of oil per day (gross), Oil Search said.
The restart of operations at Agogo has brought all Oil Search-operated facilities back online, the company added.
Oil Search said the impact of the facility's closure is included in its 2018 production guidance, which it maintained at towards the upper end of 23–26 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Lower output at a key LNG project in Papua New Guinea, the PNG LNG project, led to an 18% fall in Oil Search's first-half revenue after it was also damaged in the quake.
ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) holds a 33.2% stake in PNG LNG, while Oil Search has a 29% interest. Two PNG government-linked entities and Australia's Santos Ltd. hold smaller stakes.
The company didn't disclose the value of the deal.


The news that Group Five has filed for bankruptcy protection has come as yet another blow for South Africa's construction sector, following shortly after a disappointing 2019 budget speech that offered little hope of significant infrastructure investment in the foreseeable future, says the President of the Master Builders' Association (MBA) North, Musa Shangase.
MBA North, which represents members in Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, says the construction sector has suffered several consecutive quarters of slow – and even negative – growth, creating a 'state of emergency' for large and small construction firms alike.
Shangase says indications are that the same key stumbling blocks that emerged in recent years will continue to hamper growth in the construction sector. "The government is awarding fewer projects and has been slow to pay, which is crippling stakeholders," he said. "We're seeing even large contractors facing business rescue and liquidation as a result, while for sub-contractors with no cash flow, the wait of 180 days or longer for government payment is devastating." Another challenge, he says, is local business forums demanding a 30% procurement allocation on every construction project, usually leading to delays, costly training and a risk to project quality.
Shangase says 2018 was a challenging year for the MBAs, for the construction industry as a whole and for the economic growth of the country.
The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) business conditions survey has shown that civil contractor confidence fell by six index points to an historic low of 27 during the third quarter. Weakness in all the underlying indicators, especially construction activity, contributed to the drop in confidence. Meanwhile, general building confidence has been trending downwards since early 2017.
"In light of the infrastructure budget again being compromised and funds reallocated elsewhere, our concern is that we have fallen behind in terms of the NDP goals. If we want to achieve the growth goals envisaged in the NDP, we need to invest in infrastructure development now. But unfortunately, the NDP has been on the shelf since 2013. At this stage, the only positive note is the fact that we have a plan, but unless it is executed, our industry will die and South Africa's economic growth goals will not be realised," he says.

Textile ETP Plant Process or Effluent Treatment Plant Processing
June 21, 2021 May 29, 2018 by textile-tutorials
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) in Textile Dyeing Industry:
Various developments in the effluent treatment processes have been reported in this article. Excess of caustic alkalinity can be removed by using carbon dioxide in the flue gas from the boiler. By this means, the alkalinity can be reduced to pH 9 at virtually no cost. The color of the dye house effluent can be eliminated by treatment with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of iron salts- the process is more environment-friendly and produced very little sludge.
Fig: Effluent treatment plant in textile
Effluent Treatment Plant Process in Textile Industry:
Effluent treatment methods, also known as "End of pipe treatment" can be classified into three broad types, namely:
Physical methods such as dilution, equalization, gravity separation, floatation, screening, sedimentation, centrifugation, adsorption, membrane separation etc. these treatments mostly remove suspended, precipitated or flocculated solid particles.
Chemical methods like neutralization with acid or alkali, coagulation with alum, iron slats, etc. followed by flocculation and sedimentation, lime treatment to reduce sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide, reduction.
Biological methods consist of aerobic digestion, plant absorption, percolating filters, bio scrubbers, bio filtration, etc. to reduce BOD of the effluent within the stipulated limit.
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) Textile Processing:
The textile effluent treatment processes may be certified out in several stages.
Preliminary treatment processes of dye waste include equalization, neutralization and possibly disinfection. Primary stages are mainly physical and include screening, sedimentation, floatation, and flocculation. The objective is to remove debris, un-dissolved chemicals and particular matters.
Secondary stages are used to reduce the organic load. It consists of a combination of physical, chemical and biological methods.
Tertiary stages serve as polishing treatments such as adsorption, ion exchange, chemical oxidation, reverse osmosis etc.
The most important methods followed for effluent treatments are listed in the below:
Coagulation, flocculation and precipitation methods,
Oxidation methods,
Adsorption methods,
Biological methods,
Membrane separation methods.
All the above methods have discussed in the below:
1. Coagulation, Flocculation and Precipitation Methods Followed in ETP Plant:
This should be considered as the first stages of the effluent treatment plant. The coagulation is a process, which involves precipitation of impurities to produce microflocs. This can be achieved by pH adjustment or by addition of inorganic or organic coagulating chemicals. A subsequent process, flocculation, entails aggregation of microflocs into larger agglomerates. The precipitate is then removed by either floatation, setting, filtration or other physical technique to generate a sludge that is normally further treated to reduce its water content.
Advantages of Coagulation, Flocculation and Precipitation Methods:
Those are-
Relatively simple equipment with low capital cost.
Significant reduction of COD and, if filtration is used, of suspended solids.
Rapid removal of color.
Disadvantages of Coagulation, Flocculation and Precipitation Methods:
Considerable volume of sludge is generated which may contain hazardous chemicals and, therefore, enough disposal facility will be required.
Running costs are high.
The chemicals are to be added on a continuous basis.
Carry-over of synthetic polyelectrolyte, if used, can have detrimental effects on the sewerage treatment.
2. Oxidation Methods Followed in ETP Plant:
Oxidative processes are currently being used in the industry for discoloration treatments of wastewater, for sterilization of water and for biological treatments. A variety of oxidation techniques can be used to decolorize dye wastes. These oxidative processes for waste water treatment comprise biological, UV (ultraviolet) irradiation, incineration and wet oxidation (low pressure or high pressure) and oxidation with sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and nitric acid.
3. Adsorption Methods Followed in ETP Plant:
Various absorbents such as activated carbon, inorganic substances with high surface area, synthetic ion-exchanges, neutral and synthetic bio adsorbents, can be used for treatment of dye effluents. For maximum efficiency, the concentration of impurities in the feed stream should be as constant as possible to avoid the release of absorbed material back into the stream if the concentration falls. For multicomponent mixtures, the strongly bound species may displace more weakly bound components.
4. Biological Methods Followed in ETP Plant:
The method is based on the fact that certain varieties of bacteria degrade selected organic compounds into simpler compounds through metabolism. This may occur under aerobic (presence of free oxygen) or anaerobic (absence of free oxygen, reduction process) conditions. It is important that the type and concentration of metallic substances (e.g. Zn, Cu, Cr) and conditions such as pH (preferably below 7), temperature (preferably below 35°C), and so on, that kill off the organism population are carefully controlled.
5. Membrane Separation Methods Followed in ETP Plant:
For better economy, some efforts have been made to recycle water as well as chemicals instead of removing wastes before draining. Chemical and biological methods can be used to treat water for recycling, but waste chemicals cannot be recovered by these treatments- those are either destroyed or contaminated during the treatments. Reverse osmosis process, on the other hand, can separate 80-955 of the chemicals present in the original waste stream.
Membrane separation processes cover a wide range of separation using different types of membranes. Membrane technologies operate at ambient temperature and thus consume low energy compared to other processes. There are five types of membrane separation processes for water purification, namely-
Microfiltration (MF),
Ultrafiltration (UF),
Nano filtration (NF),
Hyper filtration (HF) or reverse Osmosis (RO),
Electro dialysis (ED).

From the Archives: W
Tags: 13 Days, Alan Clark, Barack Obama, BBC 4, Channel 4, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, Dublinks.com, FDR, Florida, Franklin D Roosevelt, From the Archives, George Bush Jr, George W Bush, Gordon Brown, Herbert Hoover, James Cromwell, Jeb Bush, Jeffrey Wright, JFK, Josh Brolin, Oliver Stone, POTUS, Richard Dreyfuss, Talking Movies, Texas, Thandie Newton, The Alan Clark Diaries, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Deal, The Iraq War, The White House, Tony Blair, W, Wall Street
A penultimate dive into the pre-Talking Movies archives pulls up Oliver Stone's forgotten and rather pointless George Bush Jr takedown.
This George W Bush biopic reunites Oliver Stone with his Wall Street co-writer. It is thus very disappointing that there is no trace of that film's searing indictment of American greed, but perhaps even more amazingly the man who directed JFK has lost his visual flair.
W is a very odd film, it's not satire and it's not a factual drama. It attempts to straddle, and falls short of, both genres. 13 Days made the Cuban Missile Crisis gripping simply by showing how Kennedy dealt with it blow by blow. Channel 4's The Deal made the trade between Brown and Blair fascinating, even if it was largely speculative. BBC 4's The Alan Clark Diaries made real politics hilarious. W hopelessly tries to combine all three approaches. We follow the run-up to and fall-out from the Iraq War, while flashing back to the pivotal moments in W's life that led him to the White House. Stone though has nothing to say about these moments except that Bush has 'daddy issues', and that's why he went to war. This insight isn't profound or original but could have been heard in bars, on both the sides of the Atlantic, after too many drinks, for the last five years.
James Cromwell alone among the cast does not try to imitate his character and so nicely counterpoints Brolin's Jr. Cromwell's George Sr (or Poppy) appears cold and disapproving but we realise that his shepherding of his son Jeb rather than W towards the Presidency is because he wishes to shelter W from the strain of a job that does not suit his temperament. Josh Brolin is extraordinary as W. He perfectly captures the voice and mannerism of Bush Jr but also makes us care deeply for this uncomplicated jock. When W loses a 1980 run for Congress and storms into his backyard exclaiming "I'll never be out-Texased or out-Christianed again!" we feel his pain more than the obvious satirical anticipation of his 2000 run for Presidency that Stone intends. W's born-again Christianity is handled with surprising (and welcome) warmth, but while personally Bush saw the light, politically it led him to some dark places. However to expect that sort of complexity is to want a different, less obvious, film.
And Stone does get very obvious… Jeffrey Wright plays Saint Colin Powell while Richard Dreyfuss needs a moustache to twirl villainously as Dick Cheney. Characters say in private their most infamous public gaffes while Condoleeza Rice is written out of history, perhaps because Thandie Newton's forced attempts to get Rice's voice right make her screen presence too painful to dwell on. George Bush is not a bad man, he's just a very bad president, the worst since Herbert Hoover, who also made way for a charismatic Democrat offering change, FDR. But, Oliver, we already knew that…

15 rushed to hospitals after haunted hayride in Maine flips over
Posted 10:55 AM, October 12, 2014, by Taniel Orr, Updated at 07:44PM, October 12, 2014
(CNN) — A trailer carrying revelers on a haunted night ride overturned Saturday in Maine, sending at least 15 people, including two by helicopter, to area hospitals, a fire official said.
The accident happened during what's called The Gauntlet, a spooky hayride through forest and including "things that jump and scream in the night." The activity is part of Pumpkin Land, a venue featuring a variety of Halloween-themed activities in Mechanic Falls, about 30 miles north of Portland.
David Clukey, of the Mechanic Falls Fire Department, said multiple people were injured when the tractor-trailer flipped.
Seven fire departments and three police departments — including state police — rushed to the scene, according to Clukey.
Clukey didn't offer details on the state of the injured, beyond that two people were flown out by helicopters and 13 others were transported by ambulance to Central Maine Medical Center and St. Mary's Regional Medical Center, both about 15 miles away in Lewiston.
Jennifer Johnson, a nursing supervisor at St. Mary's, said her hospital had received seven patients — all of them stable — from the incident.
Authorities remained on the scene Saturday night investigating the cause of the accident.
