Over the past few years thyssenkrupp Steel Europe has made considerable investments and continued to develop the technology used in its production facilities.
As the world's leading provider of flat carbon steel, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe regularly overhauls its production facilities to make sure that they are up-to-date. The company is investing in all of the process steps involved in steel production and processing. These investments help to ensure that production remains environmentally-friendly and efficient in the long-term.
Over the past few years, Duisburg-based thyssenkrupp Steel Europe has invested around 800 million euros to modernize different units involved in materials production – starting with the stockhouse and moving on to the steel production equipment and the numerous rolling mills and refining systems. The facility can now produce steel sheet with closer tolerances, a wider range of dimensions, and more precise surface characteristics than ever before.
The modernized system is now better and more reliable when it comes to meeting customers' current and future needs. Newly developed and stronger steels and material solutions are in high demand in the automotive industry, machine and systems engineering, and the household appliance industry. The energy sector and the packaging industry are also interested in new and innovative applications. Last but not least, because of its broad customer base, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's investments not only benefit the company itself, they also help to strengthen German industry going forward.


This a page I never thought I would be adding to my Family Faith Formation website and it makes me sick to do so. But I think it is important to make articles available to read, or videos to watch on this. It is important for Catholics to see what other Catholics are thinking, feeling, saying and demanding change in all that has come to light this summer/fall/winter of 2018.
February 4th update - Below are three articles from the National Catholic Reporter - one by someone who decided to leave the Catholic church in light of the sexual abuse scandal and the church's lack of change to address it, one on why to stay Catholic and one with responses from many folks on their reactions. All good, thought provoking and brief.
Logical thing to do is "Hang in There"
Below are some articles including the Pope's statement and Bishop Cunningham's letter (from Sept 2018).

Why MLC > An All Girls' Education
MLC is committed to preparing our students to be the best that they can be, providing them with a breadth and depth of choice, without feeling constrained by gender stereotypes in their selections.
MLC has over 136 years' experience successfully educating girls to be the citizens the world needs. MLC teaching and educational support staff understand girls and the particular way they learn, develop and communicate. Our programs have been specifically designed to help girls achieve their best, and their effectiveness is borne out in our consistently outstanding academic results as well as our students' achievements and successes in all areas of school life.
The benefits of a single sex girls' education are well documented. "Research suggests that girls who attend single-sex schools are more confident about themselves as learners in subjects such as mathematics and physics, than in coeducational schools. In the absence of boys, the girls also feel less constrained in engaging in classroom discussions." (source: The Conversation)
Not only do MLC's students consistently outperform expectations in all areas of school life, all our leaders are girls and young women.
In preparing our students for the world they will enter after school, MLC's structures and programs are exceptional in breadth and depth. MLC also provides opportunities for students to engage in meaningful programs with students from other schools – whether gifted and talented programs across Boroondara and Australia, wellbeing programs with local boys' schools, co-curricular drama and debating opportunities with local boys' schools. This range of opportunities ensures MLC can provide the most important life lesson for our students – learning to make good choices.
At MLC we believe that citizens the world needs are individuals who demonstrate creativity, cultural awareness, critical thinking and who collaborate to find shared solutions to complex problems.

Johnny Manziel: When Fans Fire Back
The good news is that Johnny Manziel says he is clean and sober, and ready to get back to playing NFL football.
The bad news? Not everyone believes him. His reputation is toast.
As our blog team reported last summer, Johnny Manziel, also known as Johnny Football, managed to wreck a promising pro football career, due to equal parts bad behavior and substance abuse. Manziel became so self-destructive that his own father thought he might not live to see his next birthday.
Manziel further trashed his reputation by drinking and tweeting – never a good mix.
Sports fans can be a fickle and unforgiving bunch. "Not this bum again," one tweeted, at the news Manziel hopes to make a comeback. "Please do not waste the ink."
Constant Negativity
Surely by now, Johnny Football gets it: life in the public eye means you're constantly under a microscope. The tiniest misstep can ruin a reputation, which is why many athletes today get training in Online Reputation Management.
More than half of the athletes who were asked said they use social media whenever and however they want to, and most said they interact with fans. Some players, for example, bypass reporters to update fans on how they're recovering from an injury.
But some fans have seized on social media as a means of letting a player know when there's something they don't like.
"It was just constant negativity," said Josh Thole, a former Toronto Blue Jays catcher now in the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system. "Every time you opened your phone up, you had all these Twitter notifications, and it was, 'You stink,' 'You suck,' 'You should jump off the bridge.' I don't need that."
Former big league catcher J.P. Arencibia agreed. "I'm done with it," he said, after excessive fan abuse. Arencibia and Thole have both deleted their Twitter accounts.
The same advice that high-profile athletes get for managing their online profiles is useful for Personal Reputation Management, too.
Set Up Google Alerts.
With a Google Alert, you specify a keyword, such as your name or your business name (or both). Whenever it is mentioned online, you'll be notified.
Get Familiar With Facebook Settings.
Facebook has privacy settings that allow you to define who can see your personal profile.
Tweet Control
Never forget that a poorly thought out Tweet can go viral in a matter of seconds. Always think twice when you're using Twitter.
Never Mind the Trolls
Internet trolls will bait you into an argument, in the hope that you'll say something outrageous. It's how they get their kicks. Don't take the bait.
Stopping the Abuse
Abusive tweets have been a problem for almost as long as Twitter has been around. Many high-profile users have been targeted with cruel and insensitive tweets, and Internet trolls have even posted their personal information for everyone to see.
"We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we've sucked at it for years," Twitter's then-CEO acknowledged in 2015, in a staff memo leaked to the media.
Twitter executives have always insisted they are not mediators, but that may be about to change. In early February 2017, Twitter announced a new campaign to stop abusive behavior by identifying violators and stopping them from creating new accounts.
You Can't Ignore It
"It can be really nasty," Craig Kanalley said of Internet abuse. He is the social media manager for the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, and contributed to The Big Book of Social Media. "As an athlete, you just kind of have to know it's going to be there and there's going to be criticism, especially when times are tough, but you can't let it get to your head." His advice to pro athletes: ignore the abusive posts. "That's just the Internet."
Josh Thole, for one, says that advice is not realistic. "You're always going to see it," he said. "If you're scrolling through, that's what pops up."
That realization influenced Thole's decision to opt out entirely, but Kanalley argues that won't make the problem go away. "That's what some of these fans, or whatever you want to call them, that's what they want," he said. "They want to get a reaction. A lot of them, that's all they're trying to do."
He Wants to Play
Johnny Manziel hasn't taken a snap in the NFL since December 2015. As of early 2017, he's still a quarterback without a team. But his old coach at Texas A&M met with Manziel, and said he seems to be healthy, physically and emotionally. "He's in a good place."
The former Heisman Trophy winner also reached out to ESPN's Ed Werdner. "Johnny Manziel tells me he has achieved sobriety without professional assistance, needs to maintain and wants to play #NFL," Werdner tweeted.
Getting sober on your own and staying that way is difficult, if not impossible, and Manziel's statements have been greeted with skepticism, if not abuse. "I have a flag football team that needs a QB," one of his old fans tweeted.
Others, though, are ready to cut Johnny Football some slack. "Good luck young man...hope you prove all the doubters wrong."
Only time will tell whether Johnny Football can reclaim his career. Getting sober is one thing. Restoring his reputation may require professional services.

The image.draw() method does not have parameters to rotate images on arbitrary angles. To achieve this effect, we need to work with coordinate system transformations, which are described in detail in the Coordinate system transformations section in Chapter 2, Drawing in 2D.
Store the current transformation matrix using ofPushMatrix().
Change the matrix by applying rotation transformation using ofRotate().
Draw the image using image.draw().
Restore the original transformation matrix using ofPopMatrix().
The following code illustrates these steps. It draws the image rotated at 10 degrees around the current center of coordinates, which is (0, 0).

Here are Legal Insurrection's Official predictions for 2011:
Obama will give an unscripted speech announcing he is resigning to take a year-long road trip to play golf in each of the 57 states.
Joe Biden, the second in line to the presidency, will become President upon Obama's resignation, and head the Democratic 2012 ticket with V.P. nominee Alvin Greene.
The Palin-Coulter ticket will emerge as the overwhelming favorite for 2012, winning the all important Gawker, Maddow, and Feministe endorsements, because sisterhood and breaking the glass ceiling counts for more than partisan politics.
The House and Senate will repeal Obamacare, and newly installed President Biden will sign the Repeal Bill using crayons from the recently defunded office of Kathleen Sebelious.
Harry Reid will admit the war wasn't lost, and the surge didn't fail.
Sheldon Whitehouse will give a speech on the floor of the Senate thanking health care protesters for participating in our democratic process.
Chris Dodd will return to the Senate floor to blame Barney Frank for the mortgage bubble; Barney Frank will take to the floor of the House to blame Chris Dodd for the mortgage bubble; Jamie Gorelick will rat them both out for the reward money.
Alan Grayson will run television ads stating that what he meant to say was, "Republicans want you to be happy and live forever."
Media Matters, Think Progress, Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, The Gail Collins and MoDo will form a new media corporation named "You Didn't Think We Were Serious, Did You, LLC."
Stuxnet will worm its way up Mahmood Ahmadinejad's ... (oh, forget it).
Glenn Greenwald, Philip Weiss and Helen Thomas will chain themselves to the gates of the Palestinian consulate in New York, while singing "Am Yisrael Chai."
Jon Ralston will endow a Professorship in my honor at his alma mater.
The makers of the "Coexist" bumper sticker will change the wording to "No Surrender."
The Southern Poverty Law Center will rename its "HateWatch" blog the "WeHateYourPointOfView" blog, and will call off its search for the Klan in Rhode Island.
Congress will convene a Nancy Pelosi Eye Roll Commission.
Someone finally will fix the sidewalk in front of MY house.
Dale Peterson will replace Janet Napolitano as Secretary of Homeland Security, and will shoot anyone who comes near our junk.
California will boycott itself, and spare us the trouble.
Upper East and West Siders will start opening their own doors, just like the hicks Upstate.
The Constitution will be amended to add a Guns & Tobacco Mandate.
The Democratic Party will officially change it's name to the Democrat Party, and will switch from the strategy of crazy to the strategy of lazy.
Washington, D.C., lobbyists will decide it's not worth all the effort and that they would rather spend time with their families.
Sam Alito will show up at the State of the Union address wearing an "I'm with Stupid →" t-shirt.
I will take some time off from blogging because I'm soooo tired, woe unto me, and if you don't like it, you can leave and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Finally, we will judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Whoops, wrong list. This actually is Legal Insurrection's Official Wish List for 2011.
(Please do not consider this a "Best Of" of "Favorites Of" 2010 List, because that would be très pretentious.)

amnesty: Land zurückgeben, Frieden sichern – Teritorialrechte Indigener und Afrokolumbianischer Gruppen
Vertreibung und die widerrechtliche Aneignung von Land, häufig begleitet von Gewalt und Einschüchterung, bilden seit jeher ein Kernmerkmal von Kolumbiens internem bewaffneten Konflikt. Getroffen haben diese Menschenrechtsverletzungen und –verstöße vor allem indigene, afrokolumbianische und Kleinbauern-Gemeinden.

Pressemitteilung zur Berichtsveröffentlichung auf englisch:
The Colombian government must prioritize the right of Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities to decide how their land is developed above companies' desire to exploit those territories for profit, said Amnesty International in a new report today.
(c) Steve Cagan
Access to and use of Colombia's resource-rich land is one of the most critical issues in the peace negotiations between the government and the guerrilla group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), currently taking place in Havana, Cuba. Many of those who have been forced off their homes due to the armed conflict are looking for ways to return to and reclaim their lands.
"The ownership and occupation of land has been at the heart of Colombia's brutal war, with around six million forced off their homes since 1985 because of the violence. Any peace deal will be meaningless unless the rights of Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities to return to their lands and decide how they are used are prioritized above companies' desire to exploit those lands for their own profit," said Erika Guevara Rosas, Americas Director at Amnesty International.

Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas Director at Amnesty International.
Some six million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes as a result of Colombia's armed conflict. At least eight million hectares of land — some 14% of the country's territory – have been abandoned or illegally acquired. Most of those affected are Indigenous, Afro-descendant and peasant farmer communities whose existence depends on living off their land.
Many of these communities have been repeatedly forced off their lands after years of threats and killings carried out by the security forces, paramilitaries often acting in collusion with the military, and guerrilla forces. Displacement often takes place in areas with potential for economic exploitation, including mining.
Over the years, the Colombian authorities have granted licenses to mining and other companies looking to exploit these lands and their vast natural resources, and in the case of the territories of Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities they have often done so without properly consulting with them and obtaining their free, prior and informed consent.
In 2012, the government began a land restitution and reparation programme for some of the victims of the armed conflict. The process marked a significant step forward in efforts to address the issue of victims' rights, but it has moved far too slowly and has been poorly implemented.
Relatively few of those claiming their lands back have been able to return or gain legal ownership over them, while the authorities have failed to ensure effective support for those who have been able to return.
In addition, legislation introduced by the government could actually make it more difficult for those forced off their land to gain legal ownership and effective control. For example, Law 1753, approved by Congress in June 2015, could make it easier for companies to set up operations on misappropriated lands or lands over which control has been secured through human rights violations and abuses, including on territories collectively owned by Indigenous People and Afro-descendant communities.
Since 2008, the Colombian authorities have registered mining applications and granted mining titles to multinational companies on more than 60% of the territory of the Alto Andágueda Indigenous community, in the north-western department of Chocó, which puts the very existence of the community at risk.
However, in September 2014, Alto Andágueda became the subject of the first judicial sentence for the restitution of Indigenous territory.
For Indigenous People, Afro-descendants and peasant farmers, access to land is not a whim, but is an intrinsic part of their identity and existence as communities.
Erika Guevara-Rosas.
The ruling gave hope to the thousands of people who had been forced to flee violence by the security forces, paramilitaries and guerrilla groups fighting for control of the resource-rich area. However, the authorities have failed to implement many of the measures ordered by the restitution judges to ensure the community can sustain itself on its territory.
"For Indigenous People, Afro-descendants and peasant farmers, access to land is not a whim, but is an intrinsic part of their identity and existence as communities. By failing to effectively support the sustainable return of these communities, the Colombian authorities are simply sentencing thousands to poverty and continued human rights violations and abuses," said Erika Guevara Rosas.
Colombia's land troubles in numbers
48.2 million – the number of people living in Colombia (2015 estimate)
50 – the number of years Colombia has been embroiled in an armed conflict
260,000 – the number of people, mostly civilians, who have been killed since the armed conflict began in the 1960s. Tens of thousands have been abducted or forcibly disappeared since then. .
Some six million – the number of people who have been forcibly displaced.
At least eight million – the number of hectares of land that have been abandoned or forcibly appropriated as a result of the conflict — some 14% of Colombia's territory
At least 1.4 million – the number of Indigenous people in Colombia. More than 70% live in rural areas.
Almost half a million – the number of Indigenous people who do not have official recognition of their collective land rights.
Between four and ten million – the number of people in Colombia who self-identify as afro-descendants.

Hire a Hiver
Supercell's CEO Ilkka Paananen introduces the school
A new kind of education
Through revolutionary collaborative learning, Hive pledges to train the next generation of world-class coders. We want to give the youth of today the tools to solve problems of tomorrow.
Hive is a new kind of coding school in Helsinki, based on the revolutionary education model of the French school Ecole 42.
Founded in 2013 by tech entrepreneur and visionary Xavier Niel, 42 disrupted education by building a school without the traditional teacher-student model, focusing on peer-to-peer collaboration, problem-solving and creativity. The impressive results (100% of graduates well-employed, 50% of which had no coding experience) have inspired others around the world to replicate the model with success. In July 2019, we opened our doors in Finland and were the first school of our kind in the Nordics.
The word "Hive" literally means "a place in which people are busily occupied". To us, Hive means the beginning of a community, a movement that is bigger than a school. We want to be a place where young people of all walks of life come together to collaborate, create great things and have an impact.
"Hive is a new way of re-thinking how education should be done for coders and creatives."
- Urho Konttori, Chief Product Officer at Varjo
Code is everywhere – from the apps you use in your smartphone to bionic limbs and driverless cars. Every industry needs digital solutions and this means there is increasing demand for highly skilled coders. To support this growth, education must evolve.
Coding is a new form of literacy and it is shaping our future. We owe it to our youth to offer new learning alternatives and paths that can give them the tools to solve the problems of tomorrow. Hive will be the first school of its kind in the Nordics. Our two-part, higher-education level program will focus on coding, while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation, collaboration, creativity and entrepreneurship. Most importantly, students will learn how to learn – the ultimate future-proof skill!
Education should be inclusive and accessible. At Hive, we welcome everyone, regardless of their background, economic status, previous education, or experience level. We only ask that you are open-minded, motivated, determined and willing to learn.
"The biggest misconception about computer science is that it's about studying the computer. In reality, it can be used to solve the big problems in the world."
- Linda Liukas, Hello Ruby and Rails Girls
Hive Helsinki is a new kind of coding school that preps you to launch your future-proof career through collaborative, project-based learning. Is your future written in code?

I washed a load of dirty, greasy, pots and pans with this dishwashing liquid and was amazingly pleased at how the detergent pulled the grease from the pans. And it didn't leave my hands feeling grease-covered afterward. Amazing! I had really expected to the product to be inferior to my Dawn, but it matched up test for test!
I used it as a laundry pre-treatment on an oil stain (something only Dawn has passed in my testing before), and amazingly, it took the oil stain right out of the shirt I pre-treated! (I know, not the typical use for dishwashing detergent, but something I have used for years! Saves me a ton in money, and works better than any pre-treatment I've ever purchased!) And the lemony-fresh scent isn't bad either!
I found Presto! to be a superior product to most dishwashing liquids on the market today. And the fact that it is 95% bio-based, comes in a 25-ounce bottle, and is purchased in a six pack at a time, makes it an economical, sensible purchase for anyone today! If you're worried about the environment, want clean, grease-free dishes, then let me recommend to you Presto!
You can purchase Presto! on Amazon for $16.95 for a box of 6 25-ounce bottles.
Labels: Presto Dishwashing Liquid, Presto!

Q: How do I jump in Impossible Mission for Apple ][ I can't figure out how to jump Impossible Mission for Apple ][. It happens sometimes, but when I try, no particular key I press while running makes the player jump.
How do I make it jump?

A: You have to press the joystick Fire button (Keyboard: Space Bar or Enter when I played) to jump.  If you're in the "Aisle" mode, you have to be moving left or right.
If you press Fire while standing still in the Aisle (where you can see the pocket computer at the bottom of the screen), you'll toggle the cursor in the pocket computer instead.

When it comes to selecting and understanding fastener materials one of the primary considerations is strength.
And strength is directly related to hardness.
In this webinar we will explore the relationship between strength and hardness in fastener materials.
We will look at how the various fastener specifications, both Inch and Metric, classify fasteners according to strength and hardness.
This is a highly technical presentation, but is appropriate for all levels of experience and every position in the fastener industry.
When you register for this webinar you will receive a PDF Glossary of Terms.
In order to make best use of time in this webinar we will not cover all of the terms in detail, but will discuss it from an applications and testing perspective.
Click Here for the list of terms we will cover. Have the list handy during the webinar for your reference as well as a copy of IFI Inch book on Fasteners, 9th edition.
Cancellations and requests for refunds must be made no later than February 22, 2018.

Squirrel Girl What Are Her Powers
What Are Squirrel Girl's Powers?
In the comic book series "Squirrel Girl," Riri Williams has become the mutant squirrel known as the Squirrel Girl. This article will discuss her powers and how she defeats villains. You'll also learn about Riri Williams' Ironheart as well as her mutation. You'll also learn about the origin of her name and where she got her powers. Now that you know who she is, you can get into her action!

Squirrel Girl is a mutant squirrel who has human-like mutations during pregnancy. Her mutations grant her superhuman strength and agility. Her clawed hands act as weapons in hand-to-hand combat. She also has the ability to talk to squirrels. Here's what you need to know about her superpowers! Here's a quick rundown of what you should know about her transformation!
Squirrel Girl is no longer a mutant, but she's not part of the X-Men. Despite this, she may still appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her relationship with Fox has been a source of friction over some X-Men related characters. In a recent conflict, it was revealed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are not the children of Magneto. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 hits comic book stores today!
The powers of Squirrel Girl are proportional to her size and strength. Her giant bushy tail gives her the ability to talk to squirrels, and she can also communicate with chipmunks. She can communicate with them and ask them for help, and they generally like her. Her powers as squirrel girl have helped her overcome the most powerful villains in Marvel Comics, but her latest defeat feels cheap. However, her new abilities may be more than just cosmetic.
Her powers as squirrel girl are similar to those of the Marvel superheroes, but they are more powerful. Instead of using a simple claw to bite someone, Squirrel Girl can communicate with a squirrel, allowing her to fend off an enemy. She can also communicate with animals through a gyro-copter called the Squirrel-A-Gig. In addition to her powers, Jessica Jones also carries various weapons, such as a utility belt of nuts, a gyro-copter called the Squirrel-A-Gig, and Iron Man Vs. Series battle cards.
When we think of Marvel superheroes, one comes to mind when we think of the characters that are self-aware. Deadpool is known for breaking the fourth wall, but the character Squirrel Girl has even more self-awareness. Her comic book adventures have featured her using notes to fight villains. In this issue, Squirrel Girl battles mutant mercenary Wade.
To help her fight against these mighty enemies, Squirrel Girl has been able to defeat Dr. Doom, Mandarin, Giganto, M.O.D.O.K., Thanos, Terrax, Deadpool, and Pluto. But how does Squirrel Girl defeat these powerful foes? Here are a few of her most memorable victories. But before we get into the details, let's take a look at how she has defeated some of the most evil villains in Marvel Comics.
Riri Williams was born in Chicago, but her biological father died before she was born. Her life was shaped by a series of unfortunate events, including the tragic death of her stepfather and a drive-by shooting. The traumatic events left Riri with the underlying determination to save people. She now uses her powers to protect her friends and family from harm. To that end, Riri has developed the Ironheart power.
The show will focus on the young Ironheart who will be taking the place of Iron Man in the MCU. The show is produced by Marvel Studios and written by Chinaka Hodge, and is based on the comic book series written by Mike Deodato and Brian Michael Bendis. Riri's character arc will bring her to Wakanda, where she meets Okoye and learns about her father's fate. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 8, 2022.
The Squirrel Girl is a superhero with abilities that resemble her own. She has the ability to teleport. Her super speed and agility make her an ideal hero for the Marvel Universe. She has fought crime in the past, and her skills have helped her save the world from a variety of threats. Her powers also allow her to fly and to deflect bullets and rays.
Although some of her powers may be quite similar to those of other superheroes, Squirrel Girl has always been a strong and unbeatable opponent. She has battled villains that have stronger powers than Superman, including Thanos in the GLX-Mas Special and Doctor Doom in Marvel Super-Heroes vol. 2 #8. In addition to being a superhero in her own right, she has also beaten characters as iconic as Wolverine and Deadpool.

A yabby is a crayfish but a cray is not a yabby: what's in a name?
The burrowing crayfish Engaeus cymus is not a yabby.
Everyone knows what a yabby is, don't they? Well, you would be surprised. Those charming little critters with nippers in your local dam may belong to the species Cherax destructor, also known as the common yabby, but they may also be juvenile spiny crayfish (genus Euastacus), adult burrowing crayfish (genus Engaeus) or another species within the genus Cherax, including gilgies, marron and redclaw.
As a scientist who has worked on Australian freshwater crayfish for decades, the diversity of common names in this group is one of the most frustrating part of the job. It is not that I mind people using the vernacular or that I refuse to use it myself, it is just frustrating to be labelled an idiot by well meaning locals.
Here is a typical scenario: I am poking around in a creek in some remote location, with my laminated scientific collecting permit tucked into the field kit, and a farmer or fisher or curious teenager asks me what I am doing. The answer is simple, I am trying to collect the rare and beautiful species (insert scientific name here) for the purposes of research.
But how do I explain it to someone who thinks that species is a yabby, craybob, lobster or gilgie? If I use the scientific name I sound like a wanker, and if I use the word yabby I will be lying (becuase I almost never go in search of Cherax destructor). Invariably, whatever word I use I will stand corrected by the local, who has lived their whole life calling that species (insert "common" name here). And at that point I lose credibility. Doubt and suspicion floods their eyes. How can I be a crayfish expert if I do not even know the "correct" name for their local crayfish?
My own humiliation is only the tip of the iceberg. Because many species of freshwater crayfish have limited distributions and are therefore rare and threatened, it is dangerous when the locals consider them to be "common". It is even more dangerous if they think they are yabbies, because the fishing regulations for yabbies are quite generous (you can kill and eat 200 per day).
On the other hand, any species in the genus Euastacus (also known as spiny crayfish, which includes the mighty Murray cray) are protected from fishing if they are under a certain size. People who assume that all small crayfish are yabbies may be scooping up endangered species to use for bait. It happens all too often and is one of the threatening processes for the group. Extinction by obscurity. The assumption that an unknown crayfish is "just a yabby" is dangerous for the crayfish.
The surprising and important fact that most Australians do not know is that there are almost 140 species of freshwater crayfish in Australia, in 10 genera.
The genus Cherax includes the yabbies, gilgies, marron and redclaw, but also a couple of dozen other species that have no common name at all. The genus Euastacus are usually known as crays (but so are marine lobsters in Adelaide, and that is another group entirely) and there are currently 50 different species.
Burrowing crayfish live underground most of the time, and they belong to the genus Engaeus if found in Victoria aor Tasmania, the genus Engaewa in Western Australia, or the genus Tenuibranchiuris near Brisbane.
Two additional genera are found only in Western Victoria, and three more in Tasmania, one of which (Astacopsis) is the largest freshwater crayfish in the world. All of them are special, and none of them can be described using their common names.
One species of Astacopsis is also known as the Giant Freshwater Lobster, a great common name that confuses me by using a word for a freshwater creature that is normally used only for animals found in the ocean. I guess Tasmanians don't like to follow the rules.
The point I am trying to make is that if you are lucky enough to have a creek or river or swamp near you that is full of creatures that look like yabbies, take a moment to consider the possibility that they may instead be the critically endangered Euastacus robertsi (which are purple underneath) or the critically endangered Cherax leckii (which looks just like a yabby). In some locations, such as Fitzroy Falls, you can catch yabbies in the same net as a critically endangered Euastacus. It is your responsibility to learn how to tell them apart.
Most people do not plan to do any harm to these beautiful and amazing creatures, but most people do not think they are doing any harm when they set out to have a feed of yabbies. Just bear in mind that not all crayfish are yabbies.
Some of them are rare and beautiful and have no common names at all.

Every week a Delta editor tests the food on campus. From the Aula to X and everything in between. Hungry yet critical, we critique the meals.
Braving the Siberian temperatures, Delta's Food Police tramped through the fictitious snow that just won't fall. It is Thursday, the day on which Code Orange was issued by the weather service and the NS railway deployed its limited winter schedule. Our quest outdoors for a suitable restaurant is chilly. After being disappointed at two Toastable restaurants, we find ourselves in the F&B Corner (Cormet) at the Faculty of Architecture.
Meals: Bread roll with brie (€ 3.04), pain rustique carpaccio (€ 3.04), mango smoothie (€ 2.58) and a coconut smoothie (€ 2.58).
As the food is not served hot, we keep our thermometer to ourselves.
The first bite of an off-the-shelf bread roll can go either way, but this is a positive surprise. The bread roll is crispy and fresh which, together with the walnuts, is a good contrast to the creamy brie. There are a couple of rather lost looking ice-berg lettuce leaves in there too. They should have stayed in the North Pole.
Looking at it is fine, biting into it less so. The pain rustique looks attractive but turns out to be a tough bite. The carpaccio wins the day though, feeling tender and juicy between the teeth in its pretty red coat.
The smoothie is smooth and not too thick. It's easy to drink through the, unfortunately environmentally unfriendly, straw.
A little on the watery side for our taste and this editor too is not happy about the straw, it's anything but chill.
Ahoy! Where are those ice-berg lettuce leaves?
The flavour of the bread roll is a surprise, but this time not a positive one. The salty flavour of the basil pesto completely dominates the creamy brie. A safe choice may be dull, but we would still advise Cormet to serve it with honey the next time. On the other hand, the brown bread roll with seeds is a good combination with the brie.
Heavenly! The carpaccio is tender, the Parmesan cheese is tasty and the thin layer of pesto and the few rocket leaves means that there is little 'rustic' about this lunch.
The mango smoothie tastes just as you would expect – of mango. A tropical taste on a grey, winter's day.
The coconut smoothie is exactly the same as baby's first mashed banana.
A big bread roll + a lot of brie = a well filled bread roll. Except for the symbolic ice-berg lettuce. Maybe the Albert Heijn lettuce didn't grow.
The only problem with this bread roll? It was so delicious that we wanted more!
The texture of this smoothie is slightly thicker than the coconut one and is much more filling.
This one is too watery to be very filling.
The bread roll is filling and is well filled. Except for the ice-berg lettuce then. For € 3.05 that's not bad.
We don't know if this is usual, but at this Cormet branch the bread rolls are very well filled. With its mound of carpaccio that would make the Netherlands' first carpaccio bar jealous, it feels as if we've been released from prison without paying the fine.
The quantity is fine, but at € 2.70 the price of the smoothie is on the high side for a cup of pureed deep frozen mango.
We were warned, but still feel a little cheated. The coconut smoothie tastes more like banana juice mixed with coconut water. It's like cheating during 'Expeditie Robinson'.
Unusual? At this Cormet branch the bread rolls are very well filled.
The cocktail stick gives the bread roll a cheery look. But the stick just gets thrown straight into the (not separated) rubbish bin and is completely unnecessary. The cardboard container tries its best to get you through the afternoon with the quote 'Enjoy the good life!'.
Let's talk about the name. 'Pain rustique' sounds like a French picnic, but isn't a bread roll with carpaccio Italian? We suggest another name: pane rustica. Prego!
The smoothie is in a plastic non-recyclable cup with lid. Here too Cormet tries to give a positive message by sticking a smiley on top. Are we happy?
The same thoughts about the packaging – see above.
At the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, waste was not yet colleted seperately.
The staff are helpful and the restaurant offers several vegetarian options. One minus point is the design of the place – it is not clear and not really user friendly. For example there are two counters, but we are not sure where we have to pay. Still, we will happily come here again. The cheerful lamps, plants and colourful furniture create a fantastic atmosphere.


Evans Police Dispatchers took 2,604 complaint calls, 150 of which were for Helmuth Fire Control, 105 of which were for Brant/Farnham for the month of August 2017.
Twelve prisoners were held in the Town of Evans Police lockup in August 2017.
One hundred and thirty-seven police reports were filed and eighteen accidents were reported to State of New York as reportable accidents under the Vehicle and Traffic Law.

Some reflections on Hamlet, the play
By Ian Jackson
You may have noted that I did not name this article "a review", as I normally do for local theatrical productions. Hamlet is already a well-known play by William Shakespeare, hence it would be senseless to regurgitate the story-line; so I will focus on the techniques applied and the skill of the actors and actresses.
After two years on the road travelling all over the world, the group's wealth of experience and professionalism easily caught the attention of theatre goers here and those who, for the first time in years entered the hall of the Arawak House Culture last Sunday to view a performance of a lifetime by "Shakespeare's Globe", a theatrical group founded by pioneering American actor and director, Sam Wanamaker. For sure most of the patrons were not disappointed by the intrigue and professional execution of lines, body language, and suspense and the music.
The simple set constructed with what appeared to be a number of large rectangular and square- shaped heavy-duty luggage cases, a few pieces of wood ( 2x4s),a screen up front and some musical artefacts hung in the back drop. This basically was it!
At 7.05pm, almost nonchalantly, some of the actors appeared on stage as if putting things in place in the full view of patrons, screens wide open. A few picked up their instruments, the violin, flute, accordion, symbols and a couple strange instruments probably representing the era in which the play was first staged almost 500 years ago. What was thought to be a casual feel of the stage and testing of the instruments, amidst the sound of music, an actor made the announcement and the play began.
During the first 10-15 minutes, I must say, the varied British accents were difficult to comprehend but as time went on I began catching entire lines and slowly, sentences, followed by the essence of the production facilitated by the expertise and body language of the actors. Surely this play was not for everyone as one had not only to contend with the uncommon accents, but the loaded and colourful Shakespearian language and expressions of the 16th Century. Thus, a more than average vocabulary and an ability to grasp that which is witty were all prerequisites for the audience. I trust the schools that were invited and persons, who study Hamlet, or any other of Shakespeare's plays, grasped the essence of the production. Hamlet, in brief, was a tale of treachery woven by King Claudius (played by Keith Barlett), who murdered his own brother, Hamlet, to attain the throne and the tall and elegant Queen Gertrude (Miranda Foster), his wife.
All Shakespeare's plays do have an element of romance and Hamlet's was Ophelia (Jennifer Leong) while Horatio (Bruce Khan) and Laertes (Tom Lawrence), acted as friend and foe, respectively. A sword fight, poisoning, coupled with the death of the scheming King Claudius leaves Horatio to mourn and relate the tale as fateful revelations and poisonous treachery accounted for four deaths in quick time.
One of the new dimensions brought about in this three-hour classic was the sound effect which was orchestrated by the actors and actresses themselves on stage, and their ability to double up as musicians and actors and still switch various roles. The props were also manipulated using simple planks of wood to portray a boat, entrants and exits of the players while the cases represented rank, status and speakers.
There was no lighting effect or drawing of the main curtain at the Arawak. Time stood still, night or day, probably representing the conditions and available settings at the courts in which these plays were first performed. The actors even on occasions, as in a solitary magic trick, got the audience involved as is often done in popular theatre.
The wardrobe took us back to the times when the sword was the prominent weapon used to defend honour and so it was used to that effect.
There were some mythical events of haunting and ghosts and even the dead Ophelia coming back to life to explain to (my favourite actor) her father Polinius (John Dougall) whose wit and the crafty nature of his lines really ignited the full house. Hamlet (Ladi Emeruwa) himself was brilliant and fluent in delivering his lines as he battled with reality and his dilemma of love for Ophelia and revenge for his father's death which earned him the "mad" label.
The one-night-only production of "Hamlet" by the Shakespeare Globe Theatre Company and presented as part of the 7th Annual Nature Literary Festival and Book Fair was a one-time classic which I am happy I experienced. At the end, the standing ovation given to the 12-man cast and crew was quite in order.

We Are the Top Ranked Catholic High School in Nebraska!
Be Sure to Check Your Facts!
Perhaps you have viewed social media posts using the headline, "We Are the Top Ranked School in Nebraska." However, if you are looking at high school rankings on a website, you really should look a little deeper. Headlines, as well as rankings sites, may be deceiving.
Many of these online rankings sites state that their findings are based upon on onerous analysis of statistics and millions of reviews. Don't believe it. Ranking sites also may include ACT scores, student-teacher ratio, and other data that looks genuine.
When a person actually clicks through some of these websites, one can see that the individual rankings are not based on millions of reviews, but only on just a few. For example, the second ranked Catholic high school in Nebraska on one of the sites has a reported average ACT score of 28. Sounds great, right? However, that statistic is actually based upon only 29 reviews, not millions of reviews. In reality, on some sites, parents and students fill out surveys for a chance to win a scholarship. They can put any ACT score in the survey. It can be easy to falsify information because the information is not double checked. If I want my child's school to appear exceptional, perhaps I will enter a "33" as my son's ACT score, when in fact, he received a 23.
Another scenario could be that the school may only ask people who have children with a high ACT score to do a review and enter ACT scores. To get an accurate ranking, every single ACT score needs to be factored into results, and that just does not happen. Beware!
The statistics shown on many of these sites are open to doubt. The sites often do not take the time to contact every school and ask for their average ACT score and other data. Indeed, most private schools do not share ACT information. The individual stats reported for particular schools are often based upon a very small number of parents and students who have filled out reviews.
Gross Catholic High School has purposely chosen not to participate in the rankings found on these sites. Most of them rank according to a very small sample. We feel that these sites are very misleading and inaccurate. We believe that if a person really wants to find out about us, all they need to do is pay us a visit!
We don't need a ranking website to tell us about the quality of our school. We rank our school number one and are very proud to be the Gross Catholic Cougars!
We have a high ACT average. 14% of current Gross Catholic seniors received a 30 or better on the ACT.
The parents and students of Gross Catholic are highly satisfied and feel that students receive a phenomenal education. In point of fact, 15% of the class of 2017 received full tuition offers from colleges.
We have a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. An overwhelming percentage of our students either attend college or other post-secondary education after they graduate, or go on to military service. Without a doubt, we are a great school.
The next time you read a headline, be sure to drill down deep and find out what is really going on.
Gross Catholic is one of Nebraska's premier private Catholic high schools. Founded by the Marianists, Gross Catholic is recognized locally for its outstanding education, welcoming atmosphere, competitive sports programs, engaging activities, robust faith, and boundless service work. Founded in 1968, Gross Catholic has energized the Omaha area with excellence for nearly 50 years.
Gross Catholic recently received the KVSS Radio Superstar School Award and the Omaha World-Herald Omaha's Choice award for private schools.
We believe Gross Catholic is the best high school on the planet!

Flightdocs calls its onboarding process "Easy Enroll" for a reason. Aside from exporting data, customers enjoy a hands-off program migration while Flightdocs does thorough reviews for quality assurance and program optimization.
We start at a high level – by doing a needs analysis and reviewing the entire enrollment process with you.
We then extract and collect your aircraft maintenance and inventory data, creating a mirror image.
Next, we use that mirror image of your data, clean it up and import it to Flightdocs' secure database for review and analysis.
Once imported into Flightdocs, we confirm aircraft configuration and airworthiness requirements are accurate and update as needed.
Access to the data is granted to clients in better shape than when it is received, using the "4/5" check, and is ready to use.
Flightdocs performs what it calls a full "4/5" check of each new customer's aircraft maintenance program and data. This means that Flightdocs' Enrollment team implements the recommended maintenance intervals from the manufacturer's maintenance manual in each client's aircraft profile. This process ensures only 'good' data is loaded to the Flightdocs system, thereby eliminating errors from previous providers, and assuring accurate maintenance tracking and compliance.
From start to finish, customers enjoy a smooth program migration while Flightdocs' Enrollment Team handles the heavy lifting, completing thorough reviews for quality assurance and program optimization.
Flightdocs applies applicable ADs and SBs during the onboarding process, so when the customer goes live, the aircraft is up-to-date. We take it one step further by monitoring ADs and SBs long after the onboarding process is complete to proactively apply maintenance schedule revisions and create links to the latest reference materials.
When customers complete maintenance on their aircraft during the onboarding process, they simply send the completed work cards to Flightdocs for input. The Flightdocs team also continues to process compliance updates as needed, after onboarding is complete.
Thousands of owners and operators worldwide realize major positive impacts on efficiency, safety and aircraft value with Flightdocs. Your only regret will be not calling us sooner.

Why Trump is bonding with the UK, is less of a mystery, and more of a redundancy.
Both the UK and the U.S share the largest bilateral foreign direct investment partnership in the global market. UK is the largest market for U.S exports and largest supplier of U.S imports, and the UK is the prime source of US foreign tourists, including its participation in the Visa Waiver Program. Trump apparently loves the UK, and will offer a quick and fair trade agreement for both the U.S and UK, and there is a need for the US to have 'good, business-like relationship' with the UK. However, his statements can be kept on hold, since there still seems no clear Brexit strategy for several workers and businessmen in Britain.
When a policy perspective is adopted, it is difficult to envision the American economy with border restrictions and protectionism. Despite Trump's wing of the Republican Party, more open competition and trade including the WTO and GATT increased income for citizens in America and the developed countries. Investment and open markets are the key factors in alleviating the world poverty from 40% to 13% between 1980 and 2013. The U.S has negotiated about 14 regional and bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with at least 20 nations. Analysis by the Congressional Budget Office showed that such agreements realized small, yet discernible positive effect on trade, economic growth, and the U.S productivity at large. The minimal economic impact is because most FTAs were small economies, a scenario that would have changed by completing the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement which would increase wages by $130 billion and exports by $357 billion by 2030. These estimates would have increased further as Thailand, South Korea, Colombia, and Indonesia join the TPP. The formation of regional trade agreements has more of political implications rather than job creation and economics. Simply put, multilateral trade agreements would increase U.S trade. Nevertheless, it is relative to expanding a two-lane into six-lane highway of trade, with four incoming lanes for imports and two out-going lanes for imports.
This scenario would have been more beneficial to U.S trading partners than to U.S exporters. Trade agreements can further worsen the U.S trade imbalances and retard current improvements in the U.S current account balance. Despite having filled gaps in the past, bilateral agreements have less economic payoff to U.S. Trump strategies harken to an ugly capitalism witnessed in McKinley-Hoover administration. To achieve TTP beneficial equivalents, Trump administration should slog bilateral negotiations with additional countries – a 'hugely' inefficient option for the 'dealmaker' Donald. Further, Trump's decision to reward firms with uncompetitive processes and plants within U.S risks devolving the system into a laden with random authoritarianism, idiosyncratic, and lawlessness. Will U.S economy challenge the presidential interventionism's economic folly?

Jasmin Dean's Dyslexia Alert for Everyone
Uncategorized / January 13, 2020 March 28, 2020 / Leave a Comment
Health at Home
Name: Jasmin Dean
Family Members: Husband, Jeffrey, and their children Jonah, Jordan, and Joshua
My oldest son, Jonah, has dyslexia. His diagnosis was overlooked and unattended to for many years. After a full day of third-grade mock STAAR testing, and by the teacher's request another four-hour evening of STAAR practice, I thought my son's spirit was about to crack. With weary eyes, he looked at me and said, "Thank you, Mom, for sitting with me and doing all this." That evening, my husband and I reached our breaking point, shed tears together and requested dyslexia testing.
We were always involved parents but avoided being helicopter parents. We trusted the teachers and wanted to give them the space to do their job. At home, we supported by assisting in hours of homework for Jonah and participated in regular activities offered at the school. Perfection was not an expectation. Neglect wasn't either.
Jonah is always determined and resilient.
Jonah's story is not unique; unfortunately, it is all too common. Approximately 1 in 5 children that cross the school's threshold has dyslexia. Jonah's dyslexia was undiagnosed for two years of pre-K and grueling kindergarten through third-grade years. I had to request testing because he had screened negative on the Texas Primary Reading Inventory test administered in kindergarten and first grade. Finally assessed at the age of 9, he was positive in every category of testing. It was the most wonderful and heart-breaking news his dad and I received. Wonderful because we finally identified the cause; difcult because we knew nothing about dyslexia and realized the struggle could have been prevented with early identification.
One of the consequences of late identification and intervention is that my son has been called baby reader, baby speller, and even had his papers left on his desk torn in half with notes telling him to go back to kindergarten. When Jonah's fourth-grade teacher called to report the last incident, she was teary when she told me these weren't even the bad kids in her class. This is just a glimpse of what he encounters with his peers, and the resilience he demonstrates every day waking up with an amazing attitude and still eager to go to school to learn.
I want to tell you what he has overcome so far: In first grade, he developed extreme test anxiety. He stopped eating for four months, panicked before school and spent hours in the bathroom. By second grade, his teacher noted that he would become apprehensive every time he saw the stopwatch for reading fluency tests. The third-grade teacher told me Jonah was fine, but needed to work harder, and after our 504 meeting, the teacher tried to prove the rest of the year that he really wasn't dyslexic. The night before he took his first official STAAR test, he started crying. He told us that in second grade, the guidance counselor stated that he would fail third grade if he didn't pass the STAAR test. He was an A/B student with almost perfect behavior and attendance across the board. We had no idea he was told such things until the fear and anxiety was imbedded. I am including these details to emphasize the gross need for teacher training and true understanding of dyslexia symptoms in the educational system.
Desperate for information after the diagnosis, our reading specialist led us to resources and was able to give us a plan for intervention. Sally Shaywitz, a Yale scholar on dyslexia says, "Dyslexia might be an island of weakness but is surrounded by a sea of strengths." I wish Jonah's teachers would have told me that during all those conferences. I wonder, did they know?
When we think of great contributors to the world, names from history immediately come to mind: Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci. As we consider our modern world and the many conveniences that impact our lives, names like Ford, the Wright Brothers and Jobs come to mind. What do they all have in common?
They were all labeled unteachable, struggled in conventional classroom environments, avoided reading and many required scribes. These individuals all had dyslexia. In fact, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the founder of the MIT Media Lab Nicholas Negroponte, a person with dyslexia himself, called it the MIT disease in his autobiography.
These names are not an exhaustive list. It has been discovered that dyslexic thinkers have made these world-changing accomplishments because of their dyslexic tendencies, not in spite of them. In fact, individuals with dyslexia have unique abilities to problem solve in alternate ways and have heightened creative skills. Galileo Galilei, Pablo Picasso, Agatha Christie, Walt Disney, John F. Kennedy, Cher, Octavia Spencer, Whoopie Goldberg, Jennifer Aniston, John Lennon, Andy Warhol, Steven Speilberg, Henry Winkler, Erin Brokovich, Richard Branson and Dav Pilkey all have dyslexic minds.
Twenty percent of students that cross the threshold of school every day have dyslexia, whether identified or not. That means 1 in 5 households with school-aged children recognize their child's struggles but may or may not know the underlying cause. Educators see dyslexia in their classrooms every day but may not know how to teach those who have it. Dyslexia is labeled a learning disability, but it can also be viewed as a different way of thinking. Dyslexia changes the way millions of people read and process information; an ability of sorts. While not all have the same gifts, there are shared mental functions. In the book The Gif of Dyslexia: Why Some of the Smartest People Can't Read and How They Can Learn, Ronald Davis and Eldon Braun tell us of eight primary basic abilities that dyslexics share: utilize the brain to alter and create perceptions, a heightened awareness of the environment, more curious than average, mainly think in pictures instead of words, highly intuitive and insightful, think multi-dimensionally, experience thought as reality, and have vivid imaginations. Davis and Braun also include, "These eight basic abilities, if not suppressed, invalidated or destroyed by parents or the educational process, will result in two characteristics: higher than normal intelligence, and extraordinary creative abilities."
There is a fundamental problem in our society when these learners are labeled as "dumb" by peers and "lazy" by teachers, and this occurs because of a limited understanding of what dyslexia is and how it affects the learner. Although there are museums dedicated to the innovations and artistic creations of dyslexic minds, dyslexia is still misunderstood and a mystery to many.
While many are advocating on the legislative level, there is an urgent need for a space where dyslexic learners and their families can recognize and celebrate their unique learning style. Both parents and teachers need to know what dyslexia is. Individuals with dyslexia need to be aware of others who have changed our world in every discipline, and reassurance that they can learn and succeed as well.
