These two cases are different from the three Staunton and Augusta County cases the health district announced Monday, the city manager's office said.
The cases in Augusta County and Staunton are related to each other, according to Faith Baptist Church Pastor Eric Brown. It is unclear if the two Waynesboro cases are related to any other known cases in the region.

How should I be social distancing?
With Governor Ralph Northam's recent executive stay-at-home order, what are the keys points in keeping social distance and staying home? Reporter Laura Peters found answers to your questions.
For example. you should be limiting social interactions to only people that you live with. It is okay to go outside, but you should continue to maintain social distancing and keep a distance of 6 feet between other people. It is not the time to make plans to meet up with others, even if the activity is outside.

Orthopedic surgeon works nights at Augusta Health's ER
Wearing a surgical cap and yellow mask wrapp tightly around his nose and mouth, Dr. Tom Pereles posted a picture of himself standing outside of the doors of the post-anesthesia care unit at Augusta Health on Wednesday night just after midnight.
An orthopedic surgeon at Shenandoah Valley Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Pereles took to Facebook before heading home to ask everyone to please do everything they could to prevent the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 illness.
Normally, he's performing elective joint replacement surgeries. And he misses it, he says.
Now he is adjusting to his new role at the hospital since elective surgeries have been canceled — finding himself on call most nights in the ER. CONTINUE READING HERE.

Q: Simplifying a long complex regex I suck at creating regex each time i have to check an input.
I have to check that inputs have the correct format. Input format could be :

*

*AA:BB:CC DDD/EEE

*CC DDD/EEE
Don't mind the uppercase. A,B,C and D can be either a letter (in uppercase or not) or a digit.
I came up with this regex (which works) but how it can be simplified or even optimized.
([a-zA-Z0-9])*([:])?([a-zA-Z0-9])*([:])?([a-zA-Z0-9])+([ ]){1}([a-zA-Z0-9])+([/]){1}([a-zA-Z0-9])+

A: *

*If you only put one character in the []s, then the []s are redundant, so [/] can be simplified to /, [:] can be simplified to : etc.

*You also don't need to specify that something repeats {1} time, so those can be removed.

*0-9 inside the []s can be simplified to \d:
Applying the above, we get:
([a-zA-Z\d])*(:)?([a-zA-Z\d])*(:)?([a-zA-Z\d])+( )([a-zA-Z\d])+(/)([a-zA-Z\d])+

*

*(:)? will either capture : or nothing (null). If you don't need this, you can remove the group. Similarly ( ) will always capture a space, which seems quite pointless.

*([a-zA-Z\d])* will only capture the last repeat. You might want ([a-zA-Z\d]*) , or not to capture anything.
Assuming you don't want to capture anything, hence removing all the groups, we get:
[a-zA-Z\d]*:?[a-zA-Z\d]*:?[a-zA-Z\d]+ [a-zA-Z\d]+/[a-zA-Z\d]+

Last but not least:

*

*At the start, [a-zA-Z\d]*:? is repeated twice, we can use a {2} quantifier.

*If you pass the Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE option to Pattern.compile, you don't need to specify A-Z every time.
Now we get:
([a-z\d]*:?){2}[a-z\d]+ [a-z\d]+/[a-z\d]+

WATERLOO, Iowa --- Deals were made in cash, but smiles constituted the real currency of the day at Christmas in Walnut.
For the third consecutive year two area churches teamed up with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley Saturday to offer discounted gifts to low-income families, along with crafts activities for kids and a free breakfast. The event keeps getting bigger as word of mouth spreads in the community. A total of 500 tickets were given for the event and people lined up around the Boys & Girls Clubs building on Walnut Street, waiting for their chance to select gifts.
"If you look around you see smiles and hugs and good cheer," said Chuck Rowe, chief executive officer at the Boys & Girls Clubs. "It's contagious and it's fun to be a part of."
The two churches, Heartland Vineyard and Orchard Hill, helped put together the event three years ago. They receive donations of cash and gifts and assemble an army of volunteers, numbering about 400 this weekend. Gifts between $10 and $30 retail value are discounted to $2 or $5 per gift, and those attending the event are allowed to buy up to five gifts.
Shara Harmon of Waterloo hasn't missed a single Christmas in Walnut. Her children were spending the morning with their grandmother while she gathered an armload of gifts. She laughed and joked with friends while working her way through lines at the event.
"It's a blessing that they do this," Harmon said. "It helps families that aren't as fortunate to purchase presents that are very expensive in the stores."
The event earned recognition this year when the University of Northern Iowa Nonprofit Leadership Alliance Student Association gave the Bob Koob Award for Collaboration for the community effort involved.
While parents shopped, children kept busy upstairs doing crafts with still more volunteers. Some built things for themselves while others were looking to share.
Jill Van Veldhuizen, an art teacher and a volunteer, sat at a table patiently cutting slits in small pieces of green fleece. Time flew by as she cut as many as 100 for each small Christmas wreath, all the while keeping up a near constant chatter with young children excited about Christmas and their chance to make a gift for a parent or a favorite brother or sister.
"The kids have been wonderful, very patient. They're very excited and can't wait to give these away. Mom seems be the favorite, but many of them are making something for a brother or sister," Van Veldhuizen said.
Megan Barnes, one of the organizers from Orchard Hill Church, said about 2,500 gifts were collected this year.
"I think it's empowering --- the people are able to pick out gifts for their family and the money goes back into their community," Barnes said.
Money paid for the gifts is donated to schools attended by children who come to Christmas in Walnut. Donations, including leftover toys or sports equipment, are also made to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

Y-Country Stuff-A-Truck Asks for Help in Feeding the Hungry
Earlier today we shared the American Farm Bureau Federation's data on how much it will cost to feed Thanksgiving Dinner this year to a table of ten people. In the grand scheme of things, that cost, of $48.91 is a pretty solid bargain. Unfortunately, not everybody has the capacity to be able to put food on the table every day. That's why every year, for more than 20 years, the team at 97.5 Y-Country radio has been conducting their annual Stuff-A-Truck food and fundraiser for the Southwest Michigan Community Action Agency.
They've been at since Monday of this week at Roger's Foodland on Hollywood Road in St. Joseph and will continue until noon on Saturday, and they hope that you will be willing to help in this annual crusade to feed the hungry…not just at the holidays but throughout the year.
Y-Country Morning Air Personality Matt Malone from the Matt Malone Morning Show says, "We're currently working towards beating our food and funds raised from last year, which was 11 full trucks and $15,000 worth of donations." He and his co-workers are broadcasting live throughout the day each day and inviting people to join the team of "Food Heroes" and take a highlight photo while on site.
So far, they've already hit $4,000 in cash donations and 2 full trucks, but compared to where the event ended last year, with 11 trucks and over $15,000 in donations, they are still in serious need of public donations.
The drive happens each year ahead of the holiday season, but it is all about re-stocking the warehouse and pantry at the Southwest Michigan Community Action Agency which helps people all year round.
Malone says, "The great thing with the SMCAA and the food that's raised from Stuff-A-Truck is that it all stays local, and honestly it's helping people that we know and speak with every day, even though we may not know they're going through a tough time."
The drive is hosted at Roger's Foodland annually and continues until 6pm today, again tomorrow, Friday the 22nd from 6am until 6pm and will wrap up on Saturday from 9am until noon.
The drive is also sustained by a whole host of sponsors including:
Pristine Pool & Spa
Boelcke Heating & Air Conditioning
Honor Credit Union
Mid-County Lawn and Garden
True Blue Financial
Levalley Chevrolet, Buick, GMC is the official Truck Sponsor
Adent's Landscape Supply is the Tote Sponsor
Medic 1 Ambulance is the Tote Board Sponsor
Karla McLean — Edward Jones Financial Advisor in St. Joe is the Cash Box Sponsor
Additionally, and new this year, Horizon Bank is sharing on air good news stories about how the agency has affected local families and provided hope and help to those who need it with the on air segment, "Hope on the Horizon," telling real stories about real people getting real results.
Malone, a tireless worker and advocate for people in need from all walks of life, adds an important sidebar to the campaign, telling us, "There's a misconception that the people receiving the food are individuals who don't want to get a job, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The SMCAA helps anybody and everybody that needs help. By way of example, seniors who are on a fixed income but end up taking custody of their grandchild because — if they didn't — the children end up in foster care. What kind of a choice is that? Or a family where a vehicle repair, or an issue with payroll, or an accident at work takes away their income for a month and they just need food for one month to get by."
Malone reminds us, "A majority of people in Southwest Michigan end up living paycheck-to-paycheck, so this is a reality for many people."
The Stuff-A-Truck campaign focuses on non-perishable food products and items. These are some of the suggested items you can consider donating:
Non-perishable food products
Canned goods including vegetables, tuna, fruit, soups and the like…
Boxed foods including pasta, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, coffee, juices, and such…
Baking Products including flour, sugar, salt, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, cake mixes, brownies, corn meal, cooking oil and so on…
Personal Hygiene Products including shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, bar soap, lotion, laundry detergent, toothpaste, tooth brushes, mouthwash and hair supplies…
Baby Products including diapers, wipes, baby food, and formula…
Paper Products including toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissue, tin foil and the like…

Two Gigs in One
It was bound to happen at some point. When I tell people we play from "nine until forever" at The Playwright Tavern 49th St on Sunday nights, I'm not jokin' around.
Patrick McDermott and I played our last note at 2:25AM on MONDAY morning 8/22 after starting at 9PM on Sunday 8/21. On a highly anomalous note, we didn't play any Beatles songs, but we did repeat one song which was Seal – Kiss From A Rose, making appearances as the 11PM number AND the 2AM number.
Other fun facts about this 95% request driven set list,
We played consecutive songs written by Bruce Springsteen, namely Because The Night and Blinded By The Light. Those of you who know us best are aware we wouldn't usually do that. In this case however, given that the Boss never released Because The Night (it was co-written with Patti Smith, whose version was the definitive until 10,000 Maniacs put it on their MTV Unplugged record) and Blinded By The Light was made most famous by Manfred Mann, and in fact hit #1 (Bruce's only number one, by the way) we thought that'd be a fun loophole.
Show staples Sex on Fire & Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) CONTINUE to ignite crowds the world over no matter when in the set you play either one. We have had those two in steady rotation since the release of Only By The Night in September of 2008 and it never gets old seeing people reconnect with the songs. Instagram seems to suggest that the Kings have a new record on the way before too long. A Sept-Oct release and subsequent tour wouldn't surprise me at all.
Owing to the absurd humidity and occasional disfunction of the air conditioning unit, we not only elected to break out one of our seasonal favorites Summer In The City by The Lovin' Spoonful (featured prominently in Die Hard: With A Vengeance), we also lost no fewer than 15 strings between the two of us over the marathon set.
We had visitors from as far afield as Australia, Mexico, Germany & Ireland and as near as Jersey. . hence the Bruce.
Breedlove guitars really stand up to the beating we put on them night after night, week after week, month after month.
We gave Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn a run for his money in terms of show length, and we weren't forcibly removed.
You haven't rocked in New York City until or unless you've Rocked with The Turn. Luckily, we're always out there and you're always invited.
The bar has been set and reset by crowds at The Playwright over many years. This was a very special evening and there's plenty more to come.
See y'all soon.

What about those airfields in Western Iraq that were captured by special forces a few days ago - H2 & H3? It seems a bit quiet on the Western front.
And what do you say to the families of those who have already lost their lives? "We're sorry, but we've changed our minds."

Building the Next Generation Internet
By Brian Robinson
"SDSC searches for security"
"Kenamea targets Web-based messaging"
"Pangea focuses on assistive technologies"
The Next Generation Internet (NGI), a cross-agency project begun in 1996 to develop a high-capacity version of the Internet, promises a lot: massive data bandwidth, vast information resources and supercomputer-like processing power.
The benefits are obvious for research.ers in government laboratories and universities, who simply need more raw computing power. Five years later, though, the applications for agencies doing more mundane work remain uncertain.
That's the problem Commerce.Net (www.commerce.net), a California-based nonprofit organization, is trying to answer with a grant program aimed at developing applications that will show how people can conduct everyday business across the NGI. CommerceNet awarded nearly $2 million in NGI funding in October, with plans for a second round next spring.
"Widespread access to the NGI is not there yet and probably won't be until 2005 or 2006," said Richard Jllig, NGI program manager at CommerceNet. "But applications are what will drive its use, and we have to begin now to try and get around that inevitable chicken-and-egg situation of no applications being available, so people won't use it, so companies won't develop applications for it."
CommerceNet also would like to help people better understand the ramifications of the NGI. More bandwidth, for example, means more than just faster downloads.
"I think it's fair to say that the [desktop PC] era will come to an end, because with the NGI it will finally become feasible to make the application available on the Internet itself," Jllig said.
CommerceNet also is opening two NGI test and demonstration centers at the University of California, Berkeley, in the northern part of the state, and at the University of California, San Diego, in the south.
The organization hopes the tests will demonstrate how NGI applications work and how they will integrate with existing applications, Jllig said.
In particular, CommerceNet officials are interested in e-business applications, with a focus on such areas as collaborative design and product development, real-time supply chain integration, customer support with interactive video and intelligent agents, and community interaction and real-time relationship support.
The projects highlighted in the box below were winners in the first round of awards.

Human Rights Report 2022: Bolsonaro encouraged criminal deforestation practices
January 14, 2022 Natia Giorgobiani	6 Views 0 Comments	Amazon, bolsonaro, bolsonaro government, climate changes, criminal, deforestation, encouraged, environment, fines, Human, human watch right, logging, passed the herd, politics, practices, report, report 2022, Rights
The government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL) has weakened environmental inspection policies and equipment since taking over the Presidency in January 2019. With this, it has encouraged criminal networks that work in deforestation, using violent practices against defenders of environmental protection. Forest. The finding is from the 2022 World Report by the international organization Human Rights Watch (HRW), released globally this Thursday (13).
Data from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) show that the number of fines for infractions related to deforestation paid to the eight states of the Legal Amazon between 2019 and 2020 was 93% lower than the average of the previous five years. The amount collected is the lowest in 21 years.
According to the study, in 2013, during the Dilma Rousseff (PT) government, around R$ 25 million were collected, the highest amount in the analyzed period, between 2000 and 2020. In the second year of the Bolsonaro government, in 2020, it reached only R$ $66,000, from just 13 infraction notices.
::Amazon in destruction: understand and see how the stages of deforestation happen::
It is not, however, for lack of deforestation that the number of fines plummeted. On the contrary: between August 2020 and July 2021, 13,235 square kilometers of the Amazon were deforested, representing a growth of 22%, the highest figure for the period since 2006.
"The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) had its report ready, with these updated data, on October 27, four days before the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. However, the government only released it on November 18, after the summit ended, in an apparent attempt to avoid criticism," the HRW report highlights.
"In deforested areas, criminal groups often set fire to remaining vegetation after extracting valuable timber in order to clear land for grazing or land speculation. (…) The government promoted bills that would encourage deforestation by granting amnesty to land grabbers, making environmental licensing more flexible and opening up indigenous lands for mining and other projects with a high environmental impact", describes the organization in another part of the report.
HRW also claims that Brazil has contributed to the "increasing costs that the climate crisis has represented for human rights around the world". Currently, the country is one of the 10 largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world.
Also read: Industries, environmental destruction and greenhouse gases: what is causing the cold wave in Brazil
"The increase in deforestation in the Amazon, permitted by the Bolsonaro government, has increased overall emissions and could cause vast swaths of the rainforest to turn to dry savanna in the next few years, releasing billions of tons of stored carbon."
In front of the world, the Bolsonaro government promised, from the December 2020 climate action plan, a smaller reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions compared to the previous plan, in 2016. For the organization, this is a "regression that violates its obligations under the Paris Agreement".
In the same year, former US President Donald Trump withdrew the country from the Paris Agreement. On this side, Bolsonaro threatened to follow the same steps. "If it was good, the American wouldn't have left. We, for now, are there. Are we going to go out one day? Depends on who is next to us. Certain fights I can only 'buy if I have strong people on my side', said Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro's climate action plan was classified as "highly insufficient" by the Climate Action Tracker, given the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
"In November 2021, the Brazilian delegation at the global climate summit in Glasgow, COP26, announced a new plan that still does not represent an increase in ambition compared to its initial plan presented in 2016. The delegation also committed to ending illegal deforestation by 2028, but the federal government had not yet adopted an operational plan to meet this target," concludes the HRW report.

ACC-GA Raises $31,000 for Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta
ACC May Lunch-PBP Check (L-R:Rachel Spears (PBPA),
Scott Burton (Sutherland), Michael Fong (Recommind),
Brett Lockwood (Smith Gambrell & Russell) and
Geoff Frost (Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore)
The 2012 Association of Corporate Counsel-Georgia Chapter (ACC-GA) Value Challenge event raised $31,000 for Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta (PBPA). Sutherland, Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, Smith, Gambrell & Russell and Recommind sponsored the Value Challenge, which was presented on March 29, 2012 with over 100 attorneys in attendance.
The funds raised at the Value Challenge event represent almost 10% of PBPA's 2012 budget. ACC-GA has raised almost $250,000 for PBPA in the last six years through annual fundraising events.
The ACC-GA Value Challenge event combined CLE presentations and breakout sessions that encouraged in-house counsel to discuss best practices for connecting the value and the cost of legal services. The Value Challenge saw participation from a wide array of in-house attorneys from metro-Atlanta based corporations, including UPS and GE Energy.
Faith Knight Myers, Lead Privacy Counsel at McKesson, participated in the event and commented, "it very well done. Substantively, all of the presenters discussed topics that were relevant to me. It was well worth my time."
Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta thanks ACC-GA and its president Martha McMillin for their continued support, financial and otherwise, of our mission to maximize the impact of pro bono engagement of in-house attorneys.
ACC-GA Raises $30,000 for PBP-Atl
The success of the 2011 ACC-GA Value Challenge Event yielded a landmark contribution to Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, bringing in over $30,000 for the organization in proceeds from the event. Held on March 24, 2011 and sponsored by Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, Troutman Sanders, Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, and CPA Global, the conference drew over 90 attorneys in attendance.

"Supporting in-house attorneys is a crucial part of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta's mission, and receiving this level of financial support from the association is truly encouraging." Executive Director Rachel Epps Spears said.
The ACC-GA Value Challenge Event featured four general sessions covering a broad range of topics, from social media to legal project management, and saw participation from a wide array in-house attorneys of metro-Atlanta based corporations, including Home Depot and Delta Air Lines Inc.
"Our goal was to have an event that brought value to the ACC attendees, value to the sponsors, and ultimately benefited Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, and we feel we succeeded," event coordinator Geoffrey Frost said.
Frost, the Marketing & Professional Development Manager at Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, was a member of the planning committee that was composed of both ACC-GA members and representatives from sponsoring law firms that devoted their time and efforts to making the ACC-GA Value Challenge Event an enormous success. ACC-GA President Virginia Wadsworth gave the morning welcome, and has been a staunch supporter of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta and community outreach since taking the position in December.
"ACC-GA's support of the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is an excellent match for ACC-GA. Our alliance with the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta allows ACC-GA members to perform pro bono services for nonprofit organizations the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta services and nonprofit organizations receive high quality legal services without diverting funds away from serving their clients," ACC–GA President Virginia Wadsworth said.
Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta thanks the ACC-GA for its continuing financial support and aid to the mission to provide in-house and transactional lawyers with new and rewarding pro bono opportunities.

Top NFL free agent Gerald McCoy spurns Browns and Ravens, reportedly decides to sign with Panthers
After taking the weekend to think things over, Gerald McCoy has finally decided where he's going to play in 2019.
According to ESPN.com, the NFL's top free agent has decided to sign with the Carolina Panthers. McCoy has agreed to terms on a one-year deal that's worth up to $10.5 million and includes a $4 million signing bonus. Here's a look at the full terms of the deal.
The full breakdown of Gerald McCoy's deal with the #Panthers: 1 year, $4M to sign, $3M base, $500K camp roster bonus, $500K in 45-man per game bonus. Plus, 6.5 sacks for $500k, 8 sacks gets him $1.5M. 250K for Pro Bowl, $250K for playoffs. Just $4M guaranteed. Total: Up $10.25M.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 3, 2019
The Panthers made room for McCoy's deal by making several moves over the past week, including a restructured contract for Torrey Smith. The Panthers also released Matt Kalil with those two moves freeing up nearly $9 million in cap space.
The contract with the Panthers ends a frenzy for McCoy's services that started on May 20 after the Buccaneers decided to cut ties with the six-time Pro Bowler. The defensive tackle was scheduled to count $13 million against the Bucs' salary cap in 2019, which was a number that Tampa just couldn't afford. Before cutting him, the Bucs tried to trade him away, but they couldn't find a partner willing to take on his huge contract.
Once McCoy hit the free agent market, more than 25 percent of the NFL expressed interest in the defensive tackle with the Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, Patriots, Browns, Colts, Panthers and Saints all hoping to to add McCoy.
Despite all the interest, McCoy decided he was only going to visit with three teams: The Browns, Ravens and Panthers. The 31-year-old said his two main criteria for selecting his new team was that he wanted to play for a contender and that he wanted to be comfortable with the coaches and players.
After visiting with the Browns (May 24) and Ravens (May 29), McCoy's final visit during his free agency tour came with Carolina on Thursday, and after the defensive tackle eventually left town on Friday, Panthers coach Ron Rivera thought his team had a good chance at landing the veteran.
"I thought it was received very well," Rivera said Monday, via the team's website. "Gerald is a solid football player, a guy we most certainly are interested in and that we'd love to have here and be a part of what we're doing. But he's going through the process, so we're just waiting patiently to see what the outcome is going to be. I think we've got a good chance — as do the other two (teams). They'd probably tell you the same thing."
Although McCoy was high on the Ravens after leaving Baltimore, the Panthers apparently "wowed" him on his visit, which included some heavy recruiting by Cam Newton, according to ESPN.com.
The Panthers also had one big advantage that the two AFC North teams didn't have: They'll be able to give McCoy a chance to get some payback on the Buccaneers.
McCoy's decision to sign with Carolina was likely somewhat motivated by revenge and that's because Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians made it pretty clear that his team had no use for McCoy. Not only did the Bucs end up releasing him, but Tampa added insult to injury by giving away McCoy's number before the ink was even dry on his pink slip. McCoy, who had spent his entire nine-year career with the Bucs, wore No. 93 during his time in Tampa, but that number will now be worn by Ndamukong Suh, who was given the number on Monday.
By signing with the Panthers, McCoy will now get to face his former team twice this season, with the first game coming in Week 2 and the rematch coming during a Week 6 trip to London.
Basically, the Panthers are getting a player who should be highly motivated to succeed in 2019. Not only will he be out for revenge, but McCoy will also be looking to have a huge season since he'll be able to hit free agency again in March 2020.
Although McCoy is on the wrong side of 30, he has been highly productive over the past few years. The defensive tackle tallied six sacks in 2018, marking the seventh straight year that he's racked up five or more sacks in a season. McCoy, who was selected with the third-overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, will join four other former first-round picks on the defensive line in Carolina.
The other first-rounders on the Panthers' line are Bruce Irvin (15th overall pick by Seahawks in 2012), Dontari Poe (11th overall pick by Chiefs in 2012), Vernon Butler (30th overall pick by Panthers in 2016) and Brian Burns (16th overall pick by Panthers in 2019).

It's billed as the "world's smallest film festival," although it has grown by 20 percent in the last couple of years — from four to five films.
The Long Beach Jewish Film Festival started Thursday and runs through the weekend at the Alpert Jewish Community Center.
The three-day festival kicked off with the 2012 documentary comedy "Hava Nagila" by director Roberta Grossman. The festival continues Saturday night with "The Flat," a 2012 Israeli documentary about a filmmaker who brings his cameraman along to clean out the home where his grandparents had lived. What they discover leads to a bizarre story that involves a Nazi journalist's report from pre-war Palestine. The documentary screens at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday's final three films include "God's Fiddler," starting at 10:30 a.m., a 2011 documentary about Jascha Heifetz, a legendary violinist who was idolized by other violinists. It's followed by "Suskind" at 2 p.m., a 2011 Dutch film about a Jewish man who was made the liaison to the Nazis in the Netherlands.
Lastly, the festival closes with "Putzel," a 2012 comedy set in New York that follows Walter, a young man with problems who is obsessed with taking over his uncle's Manhattan deli. It screens at 7 p.m.
More than 30 films were viewed to reduce the list to the five films, Paletz said. The selected flicks all had to meet a set of criteria such as being entertaining, with good acting and strong direction, as well as contain some form of Jewish content.
The festival started about eight years ago with four films.
Paletz is expecting more than 100 people a day with a bit more on Sunday for the three films.
"Our goal is to reach out to the community and expose them to films they wouldn't necessarily see and expose them to some Jewish culture," she said.

An approximate theory of free-fall gravity-drainage recovery is expanded to account for residual oil saturation. The recovery equation is derived and seven comparisons are made of observed gravity-drainage recovery with calculated recovery. Examples show how the theory can be applied.
The gravity-drainage mechanism is one of the most efficient ways of producing an oil field. Unfortunately, most oil fields cannot be produced economically under free-fall gravity alone because the effective oil permeability is too low, the oil viscosity is too high, or the dip of the formation is too small. Nevertheless, many reservoirs take advantage of the gravity component, especially under pressure maintenance in areas where gas is available, such as overseas, or where inert gas can be used. The most ideal system would be one where oil is produced only under free-fall gravity drainage, giving the highest possible recovery at the most efficient rate. However, because a producing mechanism must be justified economically as opposed to another producing mechanism must be justified economically as opposed to another producing mechanism, an engineer must calculate gravity-drainage recovery producing mechanism, an engineer must calculate gravity-drainage recovery as a function of time. An approximate theory of strict gravity drainage has been presented by Cardwell and Parsons. They ignored capillary pressure terms and show how gravity-drainage equations can be solved. They give only one comparison of recovery calculated from theory with recovery obtained experimentally from a draining column. In addition to that study, many other papers have been published describing how to calculate reservoir performance where gravity effects influence the production mechanism. An early investigation describing the potentially high recovery with gravity drainage is Katz' discussion of potentially high recovery with gravity drainage is Katz' discussion of Oklahoma City Wilcox sand. Katz also presented data on the low (6 to 8 percent) residual oil saturations that could be obtained from a completely percent) residual oil saturations that could be obtained from a completely drained portion of the Wilcox sand. Lewis enlarged upon the gravity- drainage mechanism for oil recovery and gave four examples of gravity- drainage fields. Beginning in 1949, more studies discussed methods of calculating the effect of gravity component on oil recovery during depletion or pressure maintenance, and case histories of fields where gravity was an important factor in production. All the papers describing a calculating procedure used the Buckley-Leverett method. These studies also used historical rates of production or a pre-selected rate of production to get the advance of gas-oil front and to calculate recovery. More recently, high-speed computers were used to solve mathematical equations of various reservoir simulators. These reservoir simulators still required that rates or drawdown be pre-selected as a boundary condition to the solutions of mathematical equations. Thus, these simulators could not be used to determine the free-fall, gravity-drainage rate of production. One study attempted to determine production rate based on the location of the gas-oil front below a stated level. Essley et al. determined an approximate producing rate by arbitrarily assuming a maximum capacity for each well remaining on production below a given subsea level and determining the total production rate from that. They did not state how the arbitrary assumption was made, nor how this rate was related to a true gravity-drainage rate.


Better expectations for me and you.
In the mind of a nineteen-year-old, choosing to get away from home to go to a place where you're absolutely unfamiliar with, in a country in which you've never lived, somewhere filled with strangers at all times, is a bold decision.
An answer to the why's and how's based on my own experience.

The Electric Fields of present interest are those that are Alternating, or changing with time. They can be produced from Power Distribution wiring, Structural Cavity wiring, or Appliance Cordage (rather than trying to be exact and showing properly directional arrows going out from (or into) the wire, colored lines with some arrows here and there are used for ease of display).
The wire type above (Romex) used by default in most residential settings due to economics, installs an effective and thorough electrified bird cage, more so with newer dwellings, due to the increased mandated number of controls / access points. Another form of structural cavity wiring, more expensive of course, being BX / MC (Metal-clad), which is inherently shielded, eliminates Electric field emissions. A comparable shielded application is wiring within metallic conduit.
while the second "Historical Evidence that Residential Electrification Caused the Emergence of the Childhood Leukemia Peak" - S. Milham, E. M. Ossiander, 2001 is suggested by the authors to be associated with magnetic field. However, electrification did not bring about an instantaneous presence of magnetic fields, as the users were gradually adopting the system, but it did bring about an instantaneous presence of electric fields, to 100% value 24/7, as the infrastructure was always energized and producing alternating electric fields from its inception.
I am acquainted with a young relative who at one month of age moved to a new home with his parents. Within one week he established a behavior pattern of sleeping no longer than one hour at a time. His crib was in the master bedroom, so his parents were all too familiar with getting up every hour to lull him back top sleep. When I came to visit eight months later, this young individual was still locked on to his unusual sleep pattern. A sweep for various electromagnetic contributors was made, and Electric Fields identified as the major irritant. This came about by his crib being located next to a wooden chest that had a VCR and TV placed upon it. The power cords were plugged in directly behind the crib. The crib's mattress was made with a metallic spring base, thus making it electrically conductive. The child was also electrically conductive due to the ionic matrix within his body. This made the integration of source, field, and victim receiver complete. I suggested a no-cost remedy, that of relocating the crib to another wall, away from power cords, which was immediately carried out. This would reduce, but not eliminate, the electric fields, due the presence of energized wiring within most walls. One week later the child acquired an eight-hour sleep pattern. What life-impacting ramifications might have occurred if his behavior was not identified as "abnormal" and the culprit identified? How long might the abnormal sleep pattern have needed to persist for long-term consequences to occur? As noted previously, this "isolated case" does not science make, but we do not have the lives to spare, waiting for the "authorities" to tell us how to be healthy.
I am also acquainted with a client who was living in a home with Metal-clad wiring, as is common in the five boroughs of NYC, and in other major metropolis (this type of wiring serves to prevent Electric Field emissions because the exterior metal armor is Grounded and therefore at zero volts (or very close to it)), due to fear of rats chewing through the insulation and shorting wires together. When this client moved out in the country for a perceived "better" environment, because the country home was built by a chemically sensitive person for him/herself (so they must have known something), I received a call some months later inquiring as to the nature of the causative agent of the client's deteriorating health. After requesting and receiving a description of the new home, I simply suggested turning off the main breaker before going to bed. I received a call the next morning, noting the remarkable change in the ability to sleep. Undaunted by possibly coinciding occurrences, I suggested doing the same thing the following evening. I again received a jumping-for-joy kind of call the next morning, with inquiry as to the specifics of what was happening. I remarked that I knew all along that the problem was the Electric Field environment due to structural cavity wiring, based on the client's description . . . and the exercise of turning off the main breaker was simply a vehicle to make the client aware of the irritant.
2) if building, use partially conductive materials, such as concrete.

Home Features	Return to Everest
Return to Everest
written by Chantelle Kelly 4th January 2017
Rupert Jones-Warner is planning a record-breaking Everest attempt, to become the first Brit and youngest person ever to climb both sides of the mountain in one mission. Chantelle Kelly speaks to him to find out more…
Rupert Jones-Warner is remembering a lucky escape, back in 2015: "We managed to get up the North Col (7000m) before any of the other teams, but 24 hours later back at base camp the earthquake hit. We were incredibly lucky we got down when we did. It was game over for the expedition and we were stuck at base camp for several days." Miraculously, he managed to come away unscathed.
Three years later – in April 2018 – he's returning to the peak.
"I just wanted adventure and I wanted to do something completely new," he explains. "A double ascent of Everest from either side consecutively is really ambitious and the odds are stacked against me. It's about trying to find my limit and seeing how far I can go."
No, you don't know the name Rupert Jones-Warner – he's not a famous mountaineer or legendary explorer, and before 2015 had never attempted anything on this scale, "although", he says "I did take part in my village run the other day." When asked to describe himself, he simply says "I'm a pretty average 25 year old."
Dream to Reality
Rupert says he's "always had a love for the outdoors", but you usually find him on the water as opposed to up mountains. "I've been addicted to sailing from the moment I started, 15 years ago. I spent every spare moment on the water and quickly worked my way up the ladder and began competing in international championships."
So, where did he get the idea to take on Everest? "Originally I just wanted to experience the mountains. I remember watching documentaries about the early Everest expeditions and then reading about people like George Mallory. I wondered whether or not I had what it takes. It has been an obsession ever since."
Preparation is Key
Even though Rupert witnessed first-hand the devastation following the earthquake, he remains determined to do it: "Raising funds to go and climb Everest is incredibly hard, and I am very grateful for the people who supported me. I want to go back and honour that, I can't walk away now."
When he originally decided to take on the challenge he had no mountaineering experience, so he headed to the Alps to learn the basics and then went to the Himalayas to develop those skills and acclimatise to the altitude. To prepare himself for the second attempt, he's focusing on fitness, but as well as preparing for the physical challenge, Rupert has also been training himself mentally: "With this sort of expedition, it's about trying to operate when you are completely physically drained. I spend a lot of time in Snowdonia carrying weighted bags over large distances. The weather and terrain can be incredibly punishing and proves to be by far the best training ground – it prepares you both physically and mentally."
Rupert's expedition will last around 70 days. He'll start with a 10 day trek to Everest base camp, then cross the Khumbu Icefall before travelling through the Western Cwm where camp 2 is situated. Rupert will then tackle the Lhotse Face, visiting camp 3 on route, which is located halfway up, before crossing the Yellow Band and Geneva Spur rock faces to reach camp 4. He will then trek to the South Summit, cross the Cornice Traverse and Hillary Step, and then finally reach the summit of Everest – for the first time.
Once back at the Nepalese base camp, he will be taken by helicopter to the Tibetan border. From the Tibetan base camp he will travel to the advanced base camp and then take on the 2,200ft climb to the North Col. From here he will make his way to camp 3, then onto camp 4, where he will have to climb the three 'steps', Mushroom Rock and the Chinese Ladder before finally reaching the summit, again.
Has his first attempt changed things, is he planning on doing anything differently this time? "Yes, in 2015 I chose to start on the north side of the mountain, because the previous year an avalanche killed 16 Sherpas on the south side. Usually the south side has a slightly earlier summit window, so next year I will start there to maximise my chances."
Rupert will take on his record breaking attempt in April 2018, but he's already set his sights on future challenges: "I am a very keen sailor so one day I would love to sail around the world solo. I think solo expeditions are probably the most demanding psychologically, and I would love to see how I would cope. Then of course there is K2…"

Earlier this year, a new think tank was established in Brussels that intends to provide research and policy recommendations concerning the Charter and structure of the United Nations. A focus of the Center for United Nations Constitutional Research (CUNCR) will be to identify and promote mechanisms and reforms that strengthen the legitimacy and efficiency of the UN and global governance as well as measures to strengthen the rights of the world's citizens.
"Recognizing that the UN and current international law are primarily state-centric and therefore democratically deficient, the association will focus on the promotion and protection of global citizens' rights in a representative global governance paradigm," the center's website explains.
In order to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas around these issues, CUNCR will host international seminars at various locations on a wide array of topics relating to the most pressing challenges we face today.
A first 2.5-day seminar on "International Environmental Laws and Climate Change" is scheduled to take place in Greece in July. Further seminars are intended to deal with international parliamentary institutions, regional and international criminal courts, international sanctions regimes, and a reform of the UN's Security Council, among others.


The story of roguish Huey (David Koechner) and nebbishy Bernard (Jim Rash), who are unlikely friends in late 1980s New York. Years later, a bedraggled Huey crashes at Bernard's upscale bachelor pad. As the two reconnect, Bernard starts a relationship with Huey's estranged daughter Zelda (Mae Whitman), an aspiring graphic novelist. Huey slowly gets his mojo back and tries to seduce various women in Bernard's life, while reconnecting with his family. As the two friends return to their old ways, at least one of them finds himself in danger of marrying a woman old enough to be his wife. BERNARD AND HUEY is a timely story of two men behaving badly, and the smart women who rein them in. Directed by Slamdance Film Festival co-founder Dan Mirvish and written by Oscar®/Pulitzer-winner Jules Feiffer.
Bernard and Huey was released on Cinema and VOD 319d ago in the US.

Is Chicago's police video release policy violating officers' privacy? The Illinois Labor Relations Board heard oral arguments in the challenge by the Fraternal Order of Police to a ruling upholding the city's video release policy at its November meeting.
At issue is a ruling by Administrative Law Judge Deena Sanceda, who held that the Chicago Police Department did not commit an unfair labor practice when it unilaterally implemented a policy allowing the public to access videos of officers in use-of-force incidents through Freedom of Information requests. Representing Lodge 7 of the FOP, Laura Finnegan argued that the policy violates police officers' privacy and compromises their safety. She said the city should have negotiated with FOP before implementing the policy, and complained that officers aren't receiving sufficient notice before videos are released.
Monica Lowe, the city's chief labor negotiator, argued that under the Freedom of Information Act, information that bears on the public duties of public employees must be disclosed. She said that the policy is part of a broader effort to increase transparency in order to build trust between the police and city residents.
RELATED: The board is expected to announce its decision at next month's meeting on December 11.
FIRST NOTICE: Under questioning by ILRB Chair Robert Gierut, Lowe said officers are given 30 to 60 days notice before videos are released. Finnegan said that is not happening in practice | PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT | AUDIO | NOTES.
Cases and Court Closures; Is Expungement for Adults Coming to Cook County?: Cook County Justice Advisory Council staff members Kim Davis-Ambrose, Rebeca Janowicz, and Ali AbId presented updates on the Safety and Justice Challenge supported by the MacArthur Foundation, the Career Launch job training program and legal matters impacting those affected by the criminal justice system including the scheduled closing of two Chicago branch court locations that will take effect after court concludes on January 4, 2019.
The two branch court closings — 155 W. 51st St. in Fuller Park and 2452 W. Belmont Ave. in North Center — were finalized as part of the budget litigation settlement between the county and the court. According to Cook County officials, the closures will help the county avoid $9.2 million in repairs, renovations and maintenance that would be necessary to keep the two buildings safe, operational and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act | CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY.
RELATED: According to Abed, the branch closings impact around 400 cases. Legal advice and bus cards are being provided to people with cases at the closed courthouses but AbId notes that his main concern is "minimizing the impact on individuals". AbId says he has verbal assurance from Illinois Supreme Court Judge P. Scott Neville that judges won't penalize people who went to a closed courtroom for their care.
FIRST NOTICE: This spring, the JAC is planning to move into the world of expungements for adults, with the creation of a misdemeanor for controlled substance possession. While misdemeanors can be expunged; felonies can't. | LIVE-TWEET THREAD.
Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards—Sans Solis: Ald. Danny Solis, who over the past two decades on the City Council served as an influential behind-the-scenes player in Chicago politics, won't seek re-election, he said November 24 | CHICAGO TRIBUNE. Solis serves as chair of the influential City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards, which is not scheduled to meet again in 2018.
Patching a Hole in the Healthcare Spectrum: Chicago Lakeshore Hospital CEO David Fletcher-Janzen issued a commentary citing Uptown's Lakeshore Hospital as "one of the last acute care mental health safeguards in Illinois" following a loss of 450 beds in residential treatment facilities statewide and cuts to psychiatric leadership grants. "When will the state of Illinois do its job and properly fund this important work?" Fletcher-Janzen asks | CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. The next Chicago Department of Health board meeting is December 19.
Public Land, Private Use? From the North Shore to the South Side: The Chicago Sun-Times editorial staff highlights a deal pending with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District that would cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and pave over a public golf course and natural habitat so that one landowner can built as few as two houses on 1.1 acres of land in Wilmette. In a November 22 response, Charlotte Adelman of Wilmette cites the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's "cynical decision" and connects the deal with the Obama Presidential Center's move on Jackson Park. "What about the South Side of Chicago?" Adelman asks. "Don't its residents have an even greater need for healthy open space and natural habitat than North Shore residents?" | CHICAGO SUN TIMES. The next Metropolitan Water Reclamation District board meeting and public hearing is December 6, in the meantime the MWRD will hold two "special meetings" on November 29 and December 3, and its annual meeting on December 4.
Black Displacement and Chicago's Next Mayor: The Chicago Teachers Union's "The Great Displacement" forum brought together 5 of Chicago's 18 mayoral candidates—4 of whom were women—November 19 on the Near West Side. The event focused on the disinvestment that has pushed tens of thousands of African American residents out of the city in recent decades. "The fact that we can even name a candidates' forum at a major labor union about black displacement is a feat in itself," Stacy Davis Gates told Chicago Sun-Times columnist and former Mayor Harold Washington press secretary Laura Washington | CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. The next Board of Election Commissioners meeting is TKdate.

We're super excited to bring you a new style series showing how to wear one on-trend piece three different ways, starring our HoH team! Today's statement piece is a coat that fully embraces the leopard trend. At first it might seem over the top, but we're showing you how you can wear it everyday, to work, and for evenings out! Read on below for styling inspo from our team!
While a leopard print coat is a definite statement piece, it can be styled in a way that still works for casual weekend days. By pairing it with an understated white tee and denim, this coat is perfect for "off duty" (or mom duty) cold weather outings. We will also be rocking it with our favorite denim and tennis shoes and / or mules for an even more casual look.
Corporate attire can feel a bit boring, so we love jazzing it up with a bold outerwear layer! Pair this statement coat with your favorite work blouse and slacks to create a totally different look with pieces already in your closet.
The fall season typically means lots of after work events, from work happy hours to holiday parties. If you have that one LBD that you rotate for evening occasions, style it with this coat for an instant trend upgrade. No one will even notice that you've worn the same dress before!
Hey Caroline! Thank you for this post! I recently purchased the J.Crew leopard jacket on sale in a size small and medium and cannot decide which jacket to choose! Do you think there is a right or wrong with the sleeve length? The sleeves on the small lay right at my wrist, while the sleeves on the medium lay right at my thumb knuckle (closet to my wrist). The small is slightly snug across my bust area. Which size would you choose?


resemble water rushing, a low buzz, or low ringing. With Kidney Yin Deficiency, hot flashes or afternoon-evening sweats may be present along with other Kidney Yin Deficiency indications. Consider our organic Yin Valley formula along with our Ancestor Treasure formula!
This is the most common type of tinnitus related to aging and would have a gradual onset and low sound. Other indications may be poor memory, slight dizziness, sore back and knees, and fear.
In Chinese medicine, the Kidney represents the Water Element, and the Heart represents the Fire Element. The balance of Water and Fire is crucial in the body to maintain wellness. TCM recognizes a break down in the communication between the Kidney energetic organ system and the Heart which can occur if either organ system is compromised. This type of tinnitus would present with Kidney Deficient symptoms along with Heart Blood Deficiency symptoms such as palpitations, sleeping problems, poor memory, or anxiety marked with a sense of impending doom. Consider our organic Blood Mansion formula!
Tinnitus with a sudden onset and loud noises is often attributed to Liver-Fire rising upward due to emotional issues such as anger or frustration; this results in Internal Wind which is often part of conditions with dizziness. This type of tinnitus may present with a sharp, painful, stabbing headache or dizziness-vertigo. Consider our organic Free and Easy Wanderer formula!
Chronic Liver Qi Stagnation, often due to Yin Deficiency or Liver Blood Deficiency, may result in tinnitus with both Liver Excess and Kidney Deficient qualities.
Long standing Spleen Qi Deficiency which is not properly addressed may result in Internal Dampness, which combined with Liver Qi Stagnation, can result in tinnitus due to Phlegm-Fire rising upward. This type of tinnitus would be marked with Liver indications possibly along with a heavy head, dizziness or vertigo, and the sound of crickets. Consider our organic Restore the Middle Way formula!
It will take many months of tonic herbal therapy to correct the Organ Level Deficiencies which have caused your tinnitus; think 8-10 months of ongoing herbal application. Meanwhile, if it is hard for you to hear over your tinnitus, ask your friends and family to face you when they talk so you can see their faces. Seeing their expressions may help you understand them better. Ask people to speak louder, but not shout. Also, tell them they do not have to talk slowly, just more clearly.
Tinnitus is a symptom associated with many forms of hearing loss. It can also be a symptom of other health problems. According to estimates by the American Tinnitus Association, at least 12 million Americans have tinnitus. Of these, at least 1 million experience it so severely that it interferes with their daily activities. People with severe cases of tinnitus may find it difficult to hear, work, or even sleep.
What causes tinnitus according to Western medicine?
Hearing loss. Doctors and scientists have discovered that people with different kinds of hearing loss also may have tinnitus.
Loud noise. Too much exposure to loud noise can cause noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus.
Pharmaceutical medicine. More than 200 medicines can cause tinnitus. If you have tinnitus and you take medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether your medicine could be involved.
Other health problems. allergies, tumors, and problems in the heart and blood vessels, jaws, and neck can cause tinnitus.
Think about things that will help you cope. Many people find listening to music very helpful. Focusing on music might help you forget about your tinnitus for a while. It can also help mask the sound. Other people like to listen to recorded nature sounds, like ocean waves, the wind, or even crickets.
Avoid anything that can make your tinnitus worse. This includes smoking, alcohol, and loud noise. If you are a construction worker, an airport worker, or a hunter, or if you are regularly exposed to loud noise at home or at work, wear earplugs or special earmuffs to protect your hearing and keep your tinnitus from getting worse.

A razor-sharp strategy for distribution
David Maloney
In order to succeed, an e-commerce company must excel on two fronts: delivering quality products and providing superior customer service. That's how it can differentiate itself from its brick-and-mortar competitors.
Dollar Shave Club, a company specializing in grooming and personal care products, was built on this principle. Its founders saw a wide-open market opportunity in giving consumers an alternative to buying high-priced shaving products in stores. In 2011, it launched a direct-to-consumer subscription razor blades service, shipping high-quality products at low prices—just a few bucks a month—right to the customer's door. Subscribers receive monthly deliveries of shaving supplies, including razors, creams, and lotions, with the option of canceling at any time. In order to retain these customers, the company must deliver high-quality products on time and with 100-percent order accuracy.
Like many e-commerce startups, Venice, Calif.-based Dollar Shave Club initially contracted with a third party to handle its order fulfillment. That worked well enough for a time. But as business took off, the company grew increasingly dissatisfied with the arrangement. Eventually, it became clear that the retailer had outgrown its third-party provider, says Lori Jackson, Dollar Shave's director of operations and fulfillment.
More importantly, the company felt the arrangement did not guarantee the kind of service it felt it needed to provide. (Dollar Shave Club's objective is to ship every order within 24 hours of receipt.) After giving the matter due consideration, the company decided that the best way to gain the flexibility—as well as the level of inventory control, speed, and accuracy—it sought was to cut the third party loose and bring distribution in house.
Today, Dollar Shave Club has full control of its own distribution destiny, handling all of its order fulfillment out of two company-run DCs. It opened its first distribution center, a 110,000-square-foot operation in nearby Torrance, Calif., in December 2015. That was quickly followed by the opening of a second facility, a 280,000-square-foot building in Grove City, Ohio, near Columbus, this past July.
As for what tipped the hand in favor of the Columbus area for its second facility, Jackson says Dollar Shave Club weighed a number of factors in choosing the site. "We looked at our customer base, distribution shipping costs, and the ability to service our customers, as well as for an area with a good labor pool," she recalls.
Jackson says the search covered a territory bounded by Indiana to the west, Pittsburgh on the east, Michigan to the north, and Kentucky on the south before settling on the site near Columbus. Among the factors that worked in Ohio's favor were good highway access, proximity to major carrier hubs, and 11 area colleges that could feed a steady stream of graduates to the region's already diverse labor pool. (Currently, about 110 employees work in the Ohio facility.) It also helps that 75 percent of the U.S. population can be easily reached within three to four days from the Buckeye State.
Distribution territory is roughly split at the Rocky Mountains. Torrance serves customers west of the range plus Texas, which accounts for about 30 percent of total volume. The larger Ohio facility handles the remaining 70 percent. Both facilities process only direct-to-consumer orders.
"We distribute and fulfill the same products from both facilities," says Jackson. "Both are highly automated, though Ohio has higher capacities and can handle a little more scale."
NEAT AND TRIM
Even though the Torrance facility had opened just a year earlier, the company incorporated some design improvements into the plans for its new Columbus DC, according to Jackson. Many of those changes were made to accommodate the operation's scale. Because it would be processing higher volumes than its counterpart in California does, the Ohio facility would require automated systems with higher throughput and speed to ensure that it could turn orders around in the desired timeframe.
Bastian Solutions served as the designer and integration partner in both operations. It also provided some of the equipment, integrating its own conveyors and pick-to-light systems with systems from other manufacturers.
Finding the right integration partner was key to Dollar Shave Club's ability to bring distribution in house. "As a startup company, it was important to find partners who can flex with us. It's how we chose all vendors," Jackson says. "We don't have the standard distribution model. We need the ability to change what we do easily. That is huge and has been a big part of our success. We don't want to be locked in."
It's important to note that when it comes to fulfillment, Dollar Shave Club enjoys one huge advantage over most e-tailers in that it handles only a small number of SKUs (stock-keeping units). This was a strategic decision arrived at early on. While many online companies compete by offering a vast selection of products, Dollar Shave Club has chosen a different route: selling a limited number of quality products. It currently offers a menu of about 30 items, including three types of razors; blades; shaving, cleaning, and styling products; and skin care lotions, lip balms, and wipes. Some of these goods are also bundled with other items for sale in packages—for example, a pack that combines a washcloth with body and face cleansers.
Among other advantages, the low SKU count—coupled with high demand density—has simplified order fulfillment and minimized the need for rack storage. Most inventory is stored as cases in forward locations.
Daily operations at the Ohio fulfillment center are directed by a HighJump warehouse management system (WMS). Early on in the process, the software determines where the various orders will be filled. Orders that have a similar profile and contain the same SKUs are directed to batch pick stations. (These orders are batched into waves based on which SKU they contain.)
For these orders, the fulfillment process starts with the pre-labeling of shipping cartons and envelopes using print-and-apply machines. After labeling, the cartons and envelopes are sent to 36 packing stations. Meanwhile, cases of SKUs needed for batches are selected from the forward rack locations according to directions transmitted by radio-frequency (RF) devices. The cases are then sent to the packing stations, with each station receiving only the products needed for a single batch.
At the pack station, a worker removes the product (or products) from the case and places them into the prelabeled cartons and envelopes. All of the orders being processed at a pack station at any one time contain the same items in the same quantity to expedite the packing process and minimize the chance of errors. "It's easily controllable," notes Jackson. Completed orders are then placed onto takeaway conveyors for transport to sorting.
Orders that don't fit the profile of the batch orders being processed at that time—either because they contain different products or because they include multiple SKUs—are processed in a pick-to-light area that includes about 100 locations in flow racks. Lights illuminate in the pick-to-light area to direct the picking of orders into totes, which are then taken to 28 dedicated pack stations. This pack area can scale to 34 stations to allow for growth.
At the pack stations, shipping cartons are labeled using Zebra label printers and the orders are packed. After the finished cartons are weighed on Mettler Toledo scales, they're placed onto a takeaway conveyor that feeds a vertical lifting conveyor supplied by Qimarox. The lift is used to raise the cartons to an overhead conveyor line that's high enough to allow lift trucks to transport products needed to replenish the pick-to-light flow racks below. In Ohio, Crown lift trucks are used, while Toyota forklifts are deployed in the California DC.
Completed cartons and envelopes from both the main packing area and the pick-to-light packing stations are transported via roller conveyors to a sliding shoe sorter supplied by Hytrol. The cartons are sorted to 36 destination bins based on ZIP code. (The company also employs routing software from Creative Logistics Solutions.)
Bastian used a similar sorting layout in the California facility, with one difference. At the Torrance building, it installed a Bastian ZiPline high-speed cross-belt sorter, rather than the sliding shoe model. (The sliding shoe sorter, which has a high capacity, was chosen for Ohio to accommodate the higher volumes processed at that facility.)
As for how it has all worked out, Dollar Shave Club says it has been very pleased with the productivity and flexibility it gained by opening its own distribution facilities. The company is meeting its goal of shipping orders within 24 hours of receipt, and it views both operations as a step up from the days when the e-tailer relied on a third party for fulfillment.
"It's all about the member experience. When they place an order, we can ship it as quickly and efficiently as possible," says Jackson. "We are able to now offer the same high level of service to all of our members across the country."

Think you know what percent of the world is vaccinated? Or many people have access to electricity? Rosling proves that whatever you think, you're most likely wrong. Learn how to fight your own personal bias and get a more realistic perspective on the world with Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong about the World - and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.
About the Original Book: In Factfulness, Rosling has compiled a life of work and research into a call-to-action for reason, rationality, and data. He argues that most people assume the world is worse off today than it was in the past, and that this is patently false. Using decades, and sometimes centuries, of data, he systemically counters many common notions held today - that the world is more violent, that more people live in poverty, and that population growth is not truly exponential - to name a few.
