Layton Mayor Curtis Takes Aim at the UTA
By Jesse | June 22, 2010 - 12:33 pm | June 22, 2010 Cheers, News, UTOPIA
Apparently I'm not the only one sick of the Utah "Taxpayers" Association and their constant vuvuzela-like drone. Layton Mayor Steve Curtis is getting sick of their spiel too.
Mayor Steve Curtis said UTOPIA, and the cities involved in it, have been transparent. "There isn't anything we are doing behind closed doors," he said.
The association has been opposed to UTOPIA from the beginning, Curtis said. "And if there is a way and means to stir the public, they go about it," he said.
Curtis said he also disagrees with the association's assumption that the public pledges being made available to the project are on the rise.
This is the kind of elected official needed in UTOPIA cities, just like Mayor Winder of West Valley City. It's about time that the cities started sticking up for themselves and their decisions against the telecom guns-for-hire representing themselves as some kind of public advocate. You're on notice, UTA: we're all pretty sick of your lies.
Special Note: The UTA is still a bunch of cowards. They never responded to my challenge to a debate and refuse to respond on their Twitter account. Royce Van Tassell will also abandon any discussion thread on FaceBook about UTOPIA once I jump on. What a bunch of wusses.

According to a flyer that a friend of mine received, Layton Mayor Steve Curtis and UTOPIA will be holding an Open House Tuesday, March 17th 2009 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Layton Mayor Steve Curtis and UTOPIA CEO Todd Marriott will be making brief comments at 11:00 AM. This open house will be held at the "Woody" Woodland Park, 1505 North 25 East, in Layton Utah.
Update: Just got ahold of this flyer, and it says "Please join us in welcoming UTOPIA to Layton. Come see the UTOPIA Mobile Command Center and enjoy a live demonstration of the incredible capabilities of the UTOPIA Network".

Popular Science (en inglés, ciencia popular o divulgación científica) es una revista mensual estadounidense fundada en 1872 y especializada en noticias de ciencia y tecnología dirigidas al público no especializado. Se considera que es la revista de divulgación científica pionera en el mundo. Ha ganado dos premios ASME, por su excelencia periodística: en 2003 (para la Excelencia General) y en 2004 (a la Mejor Revista de la Sección). Es la quinta revista mensual más antigua publicada ininterrumpidamente desde su creación.

Su objetivo, según los creadores, es «Descubrir el futuro, desvelar las aplicaciones prácticas del cambio tecnológico y contarlo de manera atractiva y rigurosa mediante imágenes y textos exclusivos».

Desde 1935 hasta 1949, la revista patrocinó una serie de cortometrajes televisivos de divulgación científica, producidos por Jerry Fairbanks y Paramount Pictures.

El 25 de enero de 2007, Time Warner vendió esta revista, junto con otras 17 de interés especial, al grupo Bonnier.

Popular Science tiene una versión en español desde el 21 de abril de 2008, disponible en España, México, Chile y Argentina.

Historia

Popular Science, debido a su antigüedad, ha cubierto alguno de los inventos clásicos de finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX, como el teléfono, el fonógrafo, la luz eléctrica y los primeros modelos de automóviles comerciales. En esta primera época contó con artículos de Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, T. H. Huxley y Louis Pasteur. Desde el comienzo mostró un especial interés por la teoría de la evolución, particularmente la de Herbert Spencer.

La revista comenzó a incorporar imágenes a color ya en 1916, con una tirada espectacular para la época en Estados Unidos, 150.000 ejemplares. El interés por los automóviles de la revista creció y en 1918 planteó un concurso de inventos para mejorar la automoción. Ganó un dispositivo de arranque basado en solenoides.

En la década de los años 1920 se incorporó a la revista Robert Goddard, uno de los principales ingenieros de cohetes estadounidenses, que inauguró una serie de artículos centrados en obras de ingeniería, como la construcción del Empire State Building, el Golden Gate y el buque Queen Mary.

Tras reducir su precio a 15 centavos, las suscripciones aumentaron hasta los 450.000 en 1938.
Considerada la revista de divulgación más popular, su director fue uno de los invitados a la demostración de la bomba atómica tras el proyecto Manhattan.

En la década de los años 1950, añadieron una sección para construir inventos en casa, desde accesorios para el coche hasta láseres.

Con el comienzo de la era espacial, aumentó sus páginas para recoger los viajes a la luna y el lanzamiento de satélites, sin olvidar otros aspectos de la ciencia, como las obras de Buckminster Fuller.

En los años 1970 se centró especialmente en la energía solar y el ecologismo, editando un manual, Solar Energy Handbook al final de la década. Incluso editó un artículo sobre las graves deficiencias de seguridad en las centrales nucleares de la URSS, nueve años antes del accidente de Chernobyl.

Con el comienzo de la era de los ordenadores y la cibernética, la informática ganó espacio en la revista, que en 1988 comenzó la sección Best of What's New, que desde entonces se sitúa en portada en el volumen de diciembre de cada año y que reseña los mejores y más útiles inventos del año. Este número suele ser el más vendido con diferencia.

Con el ascenso de internet, Popular Science añadió en 1995 la sección The Popular Science 50 Best of the Web, que distribuía premios a las mejores páginas web del momento. Las premiadas podían mostrar el logotipo de la revista en su portada. Un año después, se lanzó la página de la revista.

En 1997 celebró su 125 aniversario dedicando dos páginas de cada número a rememorar los inventos ahora cotidianos que fueron anunciados en la revista, como el velcro. Actualmente, sigue pretendiendo ser una revista puntera en ciencia y tecnología, con especial impacto en internet, a través de PPX y su blog.

PPX
En julio de 2007, Popular Science lanzó PPX, una pionera página web de predicciones científicas. En esta página el público general puede colocar apuestas virtuales referentes a las próximas innovaciones en tecnología, medio ambiente y ciencia. El sistema PPX se basa en la capacidad de las apuestas para predecir el futuro. Las apuestas incluyen si Facebook recibirá una OPV en 2008, el lanzamiento de un iPod con pantalla táctil y si Dongtan, la ecociudad china, será habitada antes de 2010. Hasta el momento, la realidad de la pantalla táctil del iPod ha demostrado la capacidad del intercambio de ideas para predecir las tendencias de la tecnología.

Críticas
Popular Science ha sido criticada por optar por la espectacularidad antes que por la fiabilidad científica en muchos de sus artículos. Estas críticas han aumentado con su sistema de predicciones. Así mismo, su lenguaje dirigido al público no especializado, marca de identidad desde su fundación, ha suscitado las críticas de varios investigadores, que ven reducida la verificabilidad de sus descubrimientos en aras de la comprensión del público.

Neely's Q&A at Atlanta Apparel!
Last week, our #BossBabe Neely, was honored to be named one of the keynote speakers at Atlanta Apparel for the October show! She took the stage Wednesday morning promptly at 10am to talk through an educational Q&A where she and Pamela Anderson dove right into the Charleston Shoe Co. story for a packed house.
The clear fashionable chairs that occupied the main seating section were completely full, along with the Hawaiian lounge chairs and couches off to the sides of the stage. The rounded edges of the amphitheater included three steps lining area, that were also full of eager listeners. Coffee was pouring, laughter erupted, and Neely shared anything and everything with the audience.
Neely had a few amazing key points throughout the chat that lasted right up until 11am, that we wanted to share with y'all!
"We don't say problems, we say opportunities."
"From the trunk of my car to the streets of Manhattan."
"If you're going to dream it, go out and do it."
"It's Neely time - let's go do it! If it fails, let's try it three different times."
"We work hard, but we play harder. Life is short!"
"There are good mistakes and bad mistakes. There's not one that sticks out because you learn from all of them."
"Set your own course and don't follow what everyone else is doing. You lose the authenticity that way."
"We keep a lot of the same styles because it's like discontinuing someone's favorite lipstick. You just can't do that!"
As soon as Neely finished, she was approached by many long-time friends, family, female entrepreneurs that carry Charleston Shoes in their boutiques, and new fans of the brand who stumbled upon her Q&A. Thank you again to Atlanta Apparel for having us, and for all of those who continue to support and love Charleston Shoes throughout the years!

2-0! Croatia Over Nigeria FIFA World Cup Group D
Croatia beat Nigeria 2-0 in their first stage FIFA World Cup Group D match at the Kaliningrad Stadium in Kaliningrad on Saturday. Nigeria's Etebo deflected Mandzukic header into his own goal in the 32nd minute and Modric converted a penalty for Croatia in the 71st minute after Ekong fouled Mandzukic.
Nigeria tried to push forward, with more attacking intent after the break, but they certainly lacked a cutting edge – only to concede a penalty and a second goal. It was the fifth penalty awarded in four World Cup matches on Saturday.
Nigeria now have a mountain to climb after this defeat to Croatia in a difficult group. They did not create enough clear-cut chances and some poor defending cost them dearly. The Super Eagles must now beat Iceland on Friday in Volgograd to have any hope of staying alive in this World Cup.
The 1-1 draw achieved by an organised and highly-disciplined Iceland against Argentina earlier in the day has made this 'Group of Death' a lot more difficult. Both teams were under pressure to win tonight as another draw from this game would have left this group even more open.
Croatia now moves to the top of Group D – followed by Argentina, Iceland and Nigeria repectively. Their World Cup is beginning much better than Brazil 2014, where they crashed to a 3-1 defeat to hosts Brazil – in a game that also involved an own goal opener.
Argentina have been drawn in Group D along with Nigeria, Croatia and Iceland, which had qualified for the World Cup for the first time and are the smallest nation to achieve the feat.
Argentina is playing its next Group D match against Croatia on June 21 in Nizhny Novgorod, while Iceland is set take on their group opponents Nigeria on June 22 in Volgograd.
A total of 32 national football teams are participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, held in 11 cities across Russia between June 14 and July 15.
The teams were divided into eight groups, with four in each, and the top two from their relevant groups will proceed to the next round, known as the playoffs or the knockout stage, to keep vying for the much-coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy.
Russia is holding its first time ever edition of the FIFA World Cup, which kicked off in Moscow with a spectacular opening show at the Luzhniki Stadium on the night of June 14. The World Cup is being held at 12 arenas across 11 cities with the final set to be played at Luzhniki on July 15. The 11 host cities are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Saransk, Kaliningrad, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Samara.

Description Gospel Herald (Scottdale, Pa.) was the primary weekly publication of the Mennonite Church for 90 years. It was formed in 1908 by the union of the Gospel Witness (Scottdale, Pa.) and the Herald of Truth (Elkhart, Ind.). It ceased publication in 1998, in preparation for the merger of the Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church, which resulted in the establishment of Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada. It was immediately succeeded by a new publication, The Mennonite, that is the current publication of the Mennonite Church USA. See Erb, Paul and Sam Steiner. "Gospel Herald (Periodical)."

Lars Rieger (* 29. April 1978 in Dresden) ist ein deutscher Kommunal- und Landespolitiker (CDU). Er ist seit 2015 Bürgermeister der Stadt Schweich und wurde bei der Landtagswahl in Rheinland-Pfalz 2021 in den Landtag von Rheinland-Pfalz gewählt.

Leben
Nach der Mittleren Reife absolvierte Rieger von 1994 bis 1997 eine Ausbildung zum Bankkaufmann bei der damaligen Stadtsparkasse Dresden (heute: Ostsächsische Sparkasse Dresden), wo er nach Ausbildungsende als Privatkundenberater übernommen wurde; im April 2001 wechselte er zu einer Bank nach Luxemburg.

In seiner Schweicher Heimat-Pfarrei St. Martin engagiert er sich als Lektor in den Gottesdiensten sowie als Mitautor der jährlich erscheinenden Pfarrzeitung. Er ist Vorsitzender des Vereins "Kultur in Schweich e. V." und "Stadtwoche Schweich e. V.".

Rieger ist verheiratet, römisch-katholisch, hat keine Geschwister und lebt seit 2008 in der Stadt Schweich.

Partei
Rieger ist seit 1998 Mitglied der CDU. Vom 22. Oktober 2009 bis zum 26. Januar 2016 war er Vorsitzender des CDU/CSU-Freundeskreises Luxemburg. Sein Engagement dort begründete er immer wieder damit, dass die Unionsparteien vor allem bei Bundestagswahlen ihr Potential gerade auch bei den Auslandsdeutschen ausschöpfen müssen, weshalb er immer wieder prominente Gäste für Vorträge in Luxemburg gewinnen konnte (bspw. Peter Altmaier, Luc Frieden, Thomas de Maizière, Bernhard Vogel (Ministerpräsident), Stephan Toscani, Viviane Reding, Alois Glück, Udo Di Fabio, Volker Kauder, Annette Schavan, Horst Teltschik, Norbert Lammert, Wilhelm Molterer, Erwin Teufel, Peter Tauber und viele andere mehr).

Im Januar 2013 übernahm er den Vorsitz im CDU-Stadtverband Schweich, den er bis heute innehat.

Nachdem der langjährige Vorsitzende des CDU-Kreisverbandes Trier-Saarburg, Arnold Schmitt, beim Kreisparteitag der Union am 19. Oktober 2019 nicht wieder kandidierte, setzte sich Rieger mit 135 Stimmen gegen seinen Kontrahenten Sascha Kohlmann (96 Stimmen) im Rennen um den Kreisvorsitz durch.

Politik
Nach dem überraschenden Rücktritt des Schweicher Stadtbürgermeisters Otmar Rößler im April 2015 wurde Rieger durch die Schweicher CDU als Kandidat für die Stadtbürgermeisterwahl  nominiert. Mitbewerber war der langjährige Beigeordnete und Vorsitzende der SPD-Stadtratsfraktion, Achim Schmitt, dem als Ur-Schweicher größere Chancen auf den Gewinn der Wahl eingeräumt wurden. Überraschend siegte jedoch Rieger als Nicht-Schweicher bei der Wahl am 12. Juli 2015 mit 65,4 % der Stimmen und konnte somit nach 21 Jahren das Amt des Stadtbürgermeisters für die CDU zurückgewinnen. Er wurde am 30. Juli 2015 im Stadtrat vereidigt und in sein Amt eingeführt. Bei der Wiederwahl anlässlich der Kommunalwahlen am 26. Mai 2019 konnte er seinen Stimmenanteil – dieses Mal als alleiniger Kandidat – ausbauen und wurde mit 76,8 % der Stimmen im Amt bestätigt.

Im Rahmen der Kommunalwahlen 2019 trat er zudem erstmals für den Kreistag Trier-Saarburg an. Auf Platz 9 der CDU-Liste gestartet, erreichte er das sechstbeste Stimmenergebnis und zog somit in den Kreistag ein. Als Listenführer der CDU-Stadtratsliste erreichte er mit einem ausgewogenen Team, entgegen dem Bundestrend, 42,8 % der Stimmen für die CDU und konnte dadurch zwei zusätzliche Sitze für die CDU im Stadtrat erringen.

Seit dem Sommer 2019 ist er Mitglied des Verwaltungsrates der Sparkasse Trier.

Am 6. Februar 2020 wurde er zum Vorsitzenden des Arbeitskreises "Ortsgemeinden und ehrenamtlich geführte Städte" beim Gemeinde- und Städtebund Rheinland-Pfalz gewählt.

Bei der Landtagswahl in Rheinland-Pfalz 2021 kandidierte er im Wahlkreis Trier/Schweich und konnte das Direktmandat gewinnen. Er erhielt 33,6 % der Stimmen im Wahlkreis.

To ensure that your pets get the best last respect that befits their importance to you and your family, hire a professional pet memorial provider to take of these needs. These providers offer different services which will ensure that the memory of your pet remains with you years after their demise.
Most people in the society wish to own a pet with dogs and cats being the most preferred pets.Others choose to have other pets such as birds, snakes, lions and even tigers. Despite the pet that you might have, most people become attached to their pets and see them as part of their families. Thus, when these pets die, it is usually a sad day within the family as an important member of the family has perished and should therefore be paid the last respect that they deserve.
Photos and tributes: Most providers provide memorabilia containing photos of the dead pet as a form of ensuring that the memories of the pet remains with you forever. There are also companies which compose special poems for dead pets.
Euthanasia: If your pet has been sick and in pain for a very long time and the hope of them surviving are almost zero, then it is preferred that they be put out of their misery. One way of ensuring a slow and painless death to your pet is by carrying out euthanasia. Most companies include these services as being among their most popular services.
Holding memorial services: This can be a great way of getting rid of some of the emotions that you may be going through. The burial of your pet and the subsequent provision of the tomb stone with proper names of the pet inscribed on it are also provided by pet memorial service providers.
Above all, choose a company that understands what the pet meant to you and that will give your petthe last respect they deserve.


A Texas transplant who landed in Southern California, bassoonist and contrabassoonist Dan Weiss has traveled the country performing, collaborating, and teaching bassoon to a wide variety of audiences. He has been both soloist and section member of symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, and stage productions, and has worked to spread the love and appreciation of classical music to new groups of people through exciting performances and demonstrations.
At a young age, Dan began experimenting with bassoon, later picking up sax and guitar. In high school, along with preparing for state-level competitions, Dan sat principal bassoon of the Gilbert and Sullivan Production Orchestra, and attended the summer band and orchestra camps held at Texas Tech University. He attended the summer Interlochen Arts Academy advanced bassoon institute and summer orchestra for two years.
In 2001, Dan moved to the Central Coast of California, which provided many advantages for music making, including the opportunity to play with the San Luis Obispo Symphony, the Music Academy of the West Festival Chamber Ensemble, and the Carmel Bach Festival. He regularly performed with the San Luis Obispo Wind Quintet, including exhibition performances at Festival Mozaic, the annual world renowned Mozart Festival of San Luis Obispo.
Since moving to San Diego in 2006, Dan has performed with a number of groups, including the San Diego Festival Chorus and Orchestra, Mainly Mozart Festival, San Diego City Ballet, Opera NEO, the Villa Musica Symphony Orchestra, New City Sinfonia, San Diego Junior Theatre, and the Imperial Valley Symphony. Dan has performed in concert with Evanescense and Lindsey Stirling. He co-founded and is the Artistic Director of the Left Coast Quintet, an ensemble that seeks out innovative jazz and pops arrangements for small wind ensemble. Dan is the manager for the Villa Musica Symphony, and contracts musicians for a variety of performances around the city, including corporate events, weddings, and fundraisers.


For most New Englander's, swimming and aquatic recreation is only available for about half of the year. Our cold winters force us to close down our outdoor swimming pools in the late fall and wait until early spring before reopening them. For residential and commercial property owners, there's a strong temptation to consider building an indoor pool – one that can be used year round. Indoor swimming pools obviously come at a higher price than the typical outdoor pool, but the advantages of swimming 12 months of the year are leading more and more homeowners and commercial property owners to consider this option. When you think about indoor swimming pools, think first of Affordable Pools, a locally owned and operated indoor pool builder.
Residential Indoor Pools – Doubling the amount of time your pool can be used greatly increases the joy of pool ownership. If you can use your pool year round, you'll get more enjoyment and great exercise, no matter what the season. Residential indoor pools can be built in a separate building, or included within the walls of your residence, depending on the particular situation.
Commercial Indoor Pools – Any swimming pool is valuable only if it can be used by your residents, tenants, and guests. An outdoor pool limits that use to just half of the year. By building an indoor pool and other aquatic facilities, you add dramatically to the attractiveness of your property and that gives you a clear advantage over other properties.
Adding an indoor pool presents some special challenges. During the design and installation, the following issues need to be addressed by seasoned experts to avoid costly repairs and remodels.
In Existing Buildings – Access for excavation and construction, disruption of normal activities and concerns with ventilation and humidity are challenges when adding a swimming pool to any existing building. You need expertise and experience from your pool builder to solve these challenges.
In New Buildings – Creating a building just for a pool simplifies the job, but swimming pool enclosures have specialized design needs. An experienced pool builder will work closely with architects and builders to create an ideal environment.
Ventilation – Indoor pools require specialized ventilation, to prevent odors, excess humidity, and other problems. Water purification chemicals, too, can create odors and even corrosive atmospheres. Proper design and construction, along with specialized equipment, are essential.
Humidity – Every swimming pool creates a high-humidity environment. Special dehumidification equipment may be needed to supplement the ventilation system. Here, too, the experience of your indoor pool builder is a crucial factor.
If an indoor pool for your property is in your plans or dreams, Affordable Pools should be your first stop. We have the experience, expertise, and dedication that is essential to creating and building your residential or commercial indoor pool. Whatever you can imagine in an indoor pool or custom spa, we can help you design and build your dream. Our high-quality pools provide the long, low-maintenance durability that keeps your total cost of ownership low and your ROI high. We understand all the challenges that indoor pools present, and have the solutions you need to create an ideal indoor aquatic environment for year round recreation. Contact us today to discuss your ideas. Our professional pool consultants will be glad you help you take your concept and turn it into an exciting reality. Let us show you how an indoor pool is a great investment for your luxurious home or commercial building.

A half-dozen years ago I wrote a mystery-thriller exploring the unique commitment of Greece's then ten million citizens to the Eastern Orthodox Church as an integral part of their way of life. A premise of the book was Russia's role in fomenting tension within the Church as part of a political agenda. I loved that book more than any other, though it probably generated less sales than its siblings in the series, and—don't worry—I won't attempt to change that by shamelessly mentioning it by name here.
The Greek Orthodox Church is but a very small part, population-wise, of the three hundred million plus members of the Eastern Orthodox Church dominating Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Christian populations of much of the Middle East, most of which have a separate patriarch as the head of their respective churches. Russia and its former satellites have by far the most members of the faith, running to hundreds of millions.
At the Great Schism of 1054 between the Catholic Church and those of Eastern Orthodoxy, the Church of the West was fixed in Rome, and the Church of the East in Constantinople (aka Istanbul) where it's had a presence since the city's founding in the fourth century. Constantinople has always been home to the Ecumenical Patriarch, the worldwide spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, a first among equals of the patriarchs responsible for leading their countries' Orthodox churches within the overall Church—or at least that's what the Greeks consider him to be.
The Russians have long claimed that the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church belonged in Russia, but for over nine hundred years the Eastern Orthodox Church has been linked to Constantinople while for most of that time the Russian Church existed merely to appease the Russian masses. Under the tsars, the church was their servant. After the revolution, the only god allowed in Russia was the central government. In addition, many say the Russian Orthodox Church long has sought to undermine, and indeed directly challenge, the Ecumenical Patriarch. That made Russia a highly unattractive alternative to Constantinople. Now Russia says things are different, claiming to have embraced the church anew.
Which brings us to this news story of a huge monkey wrench tossed five days ago (Monday) into an historic meeting of all the world's Orthodox churches scheduled to start June 16 and continue through June 27. The meeting, formally called "The Holy and Great Council," was 55 years in the planning and heralded as the first such meeting since 787. The decision to hold the Great Council had been unanimously approved in January by all 14 heads of the Orthodox churches.
Here is a version of the story appearing earlier this week in Greece's Ekathimerini newspaper, titled, "Russia's refusal to attend Orthodox Council shows rift." To my way of thinking it could just as easily have been titled, "Geo-Politics and Spin, Patriarch-style."
The rift between Orthodox churches was confirmed Monday when the Russian Patriarchate decided not to take part in the Holy and Great Council which is to begin on Thursday on Crete, asking for its postponement. Orthodox leaders have not held such a meeting since 787, when the last of the seven councils recognized by both Orthodox and Catholics was held, before the schism between the churches in 1054.
Russian Partriarch Kirill
The Moscow Patriarchate's decision is crucial as the Russian Church holds sway with other Slav churches and is a blow to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's hopes to bring together leaders from 14 independent Orthodox churches and promote unity among the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians. One of Russian Patriarch Kirill's arguments was that other patriarchs did not want to take part [Antioch, Bulgaria, and Georgia also announced they are not coming] in protest at documents drawn up by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
After an extraordinary meeting of the Russian Church's Holy Synod, a spokesman, Bishop Hilarion [who heads the Russian Patriarchate's department of external church relations], said: "During the 55 years that the Great Council was being prepared, we spoke of the need for it to be a factor of unity for the Church and under no circumstances should it lead to division. If we believe that certain issues have not been clarified on the texts, it is better that we have a postponement so that all the churches can attend."
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
The Ecumenical Patriarchate says that it will go ahead with the Council as scheduled on June 16-26 and Bartholomew is set to travel to Crete on Wednesday. Last Saturday, he said, "The Ecumenical Patriarchate worked with a sense of responsibility from the start to prepare and carry out this historic event."
Archbishop Anastasios, head of the Church in Albania, argued in an article in Kathimerini that it is precisely because of problems between the churches that their leaders should not postpone the meeting, as this "would hurt Orthodox Christians everywhere and damage the standing of Orthodoxy."
I can almost hear the dueling banjos in the background...which is far more civilized than how things turned out in the book.
I know, I should be ashamed of myself.

"the book"??? Are you talking about The Bible? I'm confused. Yeah, me, confused. By you. I wish you'd write more clearly, as clearly this is a subject of which I shouldn't definitely know something about nothing.
I love the pageantry of religion, but shake my head at those billions of people who take it for more than simple stage craft and politics by other means. (Note: I'm talking about "organized religion," the following of someone else's beliefs with little or no critical thought on your own part.)
Jeffrey Siger June 18, 2016 at 3:53 PM
If I wrote more clearly you might understand me, and heaven (the one I believe in) spare me that. :)
Annamaria Alfieri June 18, 2016 at 11:09 AM
Bro, OY! Or as the Italians say Oi. The first meeting in 1229 years, 55 years in the making? I side with EvKa on the subject of organised religion. But can we describe this as "organised?" When they finally get together, will any one of those handsome, white beards remember what they are doing there? I know, that is an ageist comment. But COME ON! Even the glaciers have speeded up. What adjective would you use for this. The Dublin Pitch-Drop experiment has nothing on these guys. Oy Oi Oy Oi!
You sent me off to Wikipedia on that one, sis, and you're right, it does improve the chances of the Dublin Pitch-Drop experiment becoming a fan event.

Putin. The patriarch is just the messenger. This has to be something Putin is trying to leverage.
It's no secret that Russia wants to be the center of Eastern Orthodoxy and giving such awesome credence to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (a Greek) hosting such an historic event in Constantinople does not fit that playbook.
Lenny Kleinfeld June 19, 2016 at 2:12 AM
Thanks for the facts. I had no idea what they were. But Putin is such a control freak that something of this scale couldn't happen unless it was congruent with his overall goals.
Yes, Lenny. I think a serious consideration on that score was concern by Moscow that the Conference would give elevated attention to the Ukrainian Church and precipitate further conflict for Russia there.


The National Identity Register (NIR), which was built to hold the fingerprints and personal details of millions of ID card holders, has been publicly destroyed.
Around 500 hard disk drives and 100 back-up tapes containing the details of 15,000 holders have been magnetically wiped and shredded in line with Cabinet Office rules, and will soon be incinerated.
Home Office minister Damian Green said: "Laying ID cards to rest demonstrates the government's commitment to scale back the power of the state and restore civil liberties."
In a written parliamentary statement it was recently revealed that the destruction of the NIR and the personal data held on the controversial ID card system will cost about £400,000.

사람의 눈은 조명 성분이나 관측 조건이 바뀌어도 물체의 고유한 색상을 관찰할 수 있다는 색 항상성을 지닌다. 그러나 카메라로 촬영된 영상에서의 색상은 그 물체의 고유한 반사 색상 특성 이외에 조명 성분의 색상에 영향을 받는다. 그러므로 물체의 고유한 색상을 표현하기 위해서는 조명 성분을 추정하여, 해당 색상 성분을 보상하는 작업이 필요하다. 조명 성분을 추정하기 위해 우선 눈이 인지하는 빛의 밝기 항상성에 대해 밝힌 레티넥스 이론을 살펴보면, 빛의 밝기 값은 반사도와 조명 성분의 곱으로 모델링된다 . 사람의 눈은 반사도와 조명 성분을 구분하기 때문에 색 항상성을 갖는 반면, 일반 영상처리에서는 이 둘의 곱인 영상 밝기만 알고 있다. 여기에 조명 성분이 반사도보다 스펙트럼의 위치 분포가 완만하게 변화하는 특성을 사용하여 둘을 구분하고자 하였다. 하지만 RGB 3차원 색상공간에서의 반사도와 조명 성분의 곱으로부터 각각을 분해하는 것은 여전히 어려운 일로 남아있다 . 이러한 상황에서 RGB 영상보다 더 많은 파장 정보를 사용하는 초분광 영상 정보를 사용하면 조명 성분을 더 정확히 추정할 수 있다. 또한 센서의 관측 파장 대역폭을 줄여서 채널간의 중첩을 줄임으로써 관측 영상 스펙트럼을 조명과 반사도의 곱으로 나타낼 때, 조명 성분을 대각 행렬로 나타낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 초분광 영상의 스펙트럼을 조명 성분과 반사도의 곱으로 모델링하고, 목적함수를 최소화시키는 조명 값을 미분을 통해 closed form equation으로 조명 성분을 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 최적화 도구를 사용하여 초분광 영상에서 조명을 추정하는 Zheng 방법과 실험 결과를 비교하고 분석하였다 . 제안된 방법을 통해 반복시행 없이 수식만으로 빠르게 조명 스펙트럼을 추정할 수 있다. 이를 통해 영상만으로 조명 성분을 분리해내어 색 항상성을 구현할 수 있다. 더 나아가 영상 내에 다양한 조명이 존재할 때, 제안된 수식으로 각 조명 영역을 분리하는데 응용할 수 있는지를 실험해 보았다. 그 결과를 통해 앞으로 발전될 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.;Human eyes have color constancy which compensates for illumination spectrum from an observed scene. However, colors in an image taken from a camera is affected by illumination spectrum. Therefore, a process to estimate an intrinsic color of an object in an image is required for object recognition, or white balance. As a result, estimating illumination from an image is an essential step toward color constancy. The intensity of an image is a product of object's reflectance and illuminant spectrum, therefore, separation of the reflectivity and illumination spectrum from an image is an ill-posed problem. This paper introduces a method of unmixing the two by using the fact that reflectance of an image has low rank. This thesis models the hyperspectral image intensity as a product of illuminant spectrum and the reflectivity of a scene and derive an equation for illumination spectrum from the gradient of an object function. Reflectance is assumed to be a linear combination of a few, less than 8, principal components of a reflectance basis matrix. Comparisons with previous method and analysis of the test results with natural and synthetic hyperspectral images are presented. The proposed method can estimate the illuminant by using just one equation without iterations or optimizing tools. When multiple illuminants are present in an image, estimation of local illumination is required. This paper proposes a method for illumination segmentation using the proposed illumination equation. Our preliminary results show encouraging results for illumination segmentation. Future work includes theoretical analysis of the equation and sensitivity analysis. Since basis vector of the reflectance is critical for the accuracy of the recovered illumination, adaptive basis estimation from an image is a crucial topic for research.

3 Ways Inequality is at the Heart of Hurricane Irma's Destruction by Leon Sealey-Huggins
3 Ways Inequality is at the Heart of Hurricane Irma's Destruction
by Leon Sealey-Huggins

Many of us are as angered as we are saddened to watch the destructive effects of record-breaking weather events unfolding in the Caribbean and elsewhere. Saddened because of our compassion, but angered because of how depressingly predictable such outcomes are. Critical commentators have long been warning that unless we address the causes of climate change, tropical storms will become more intense. A significant oversight of so much of the existing discussion, however, is addressing the role inequality plays in contributing to climate change. Here are three ways in which inequality is at the heart of so-called 'natural' disasters.
1. Political inequalities.
For decades, the mainstream dialogue on climate action has tried, unsuccessfully, to abstract the emission of carbon and other greenhouse gasses from the social processes that pattern their release. Doing this means people are unable to understand why, at most levels of government, we are not seeing the action necessary to tackle the issue. A problem with this sociologically naïve understanding, however, is that it neglects important factors shaping how we organise our societies.
Inequality means the world is not organised so as to suit the interests of all of its inhabitants. The dynamics underpinning the constitution of the ruling class are complex, but it is evident that those who are currently doing very well have little to gain and plenty to lose by addressing the root causes of climate change. An aspect of these root causes is that inequalities are manifest in the decision-making processes across our societies. The overwhelming majority of people are denied much of the capacity to make meaningful decisions about how they live their lives. If more people did indeed have a say in how they were organising their lives, it seems unlikely they would permit a system that is so antithetical to meaningful socio-ecological life as the one that currently prevails.
2. Unequal exposure.
Another perhaps more obvious feature of the inequality connected to climate change is that it leaves some people vastly under-resourced to deal with its impacts. Hurricanes are 'natural' in one sense, but human actions are inseparable from nature. Whether or not a hurricane becomes a disaster, and of what magnitude, depends on how prepared people and places are, and that in turn depends on access to resources. Contrast the pictures of Richard Branson enjoying the privileged security of his expensive wine cellar with those of the countless homes destroyed by Irma. Attention to the social dynamics of climate change has highlighted the disproportionate impact it has on poor people of colour, and women, globally – hence the focus by Black Lives Matter and others on the connections between climate change and racism. As the pioneering Caribbean climate scientist and policy-maker Dr Ulric Trotz remarked about the lack of funding to support the kinds of actions that would help to reduce Caribbean societies' exposure: "It's not that we don't have any idea about how we need to build resilience […] The bottom line is that we don't have the resources."
Predictably, some have rolled out the prejudiced tropes that those in the Caribbean are to blame for their own misfortune because of poor governance, or inadequate buildings. These comments are ahistorical where they ignore global processes shaping both governance and construction. These comments also neglect to recognise that building regulations in the Eastern Caribbean mean buildings are designed to withstand some of the toughest storms. What we are witnessing is a shift toward increasingly unprecedented weather events.
The point also raises questions about who makes regulations. How much does the policy-making process constitute a narrow negotiation between policies acceptable to both corporate and mainstream political interests? To what extent are these able to include the interests of the most marginalised? In short, these are questions about how well power is distributed in decision making processes. By focusing on regulations, however, we risk already committing ourselves to a fairly closed set of assumptions about politics, social organisation and governance. Radical democratic theory and practice might point to alternative ways of organisation that are more robust than top-down forms of regulation. This will, of course, necessitate dealing with political inequalities.
3. Historical inequalities.
In addition to acknowledging the inequalities that leave many people disproportionately exposed to the impacts of climate change, any progressive response must also set contemporary inequalities in their wider historical and political context. The industrial revolution that fed climate change was fuelled by processes of imperialism and colonialism. These processes enriched elites in Europe at the expense of societies formed, or dramatically reshaped, by violent colonialism, leaving people in colonised countries ill-equipped to manage their own destinies.
The voluntarist aid model is clearly not fit for purpose. Firstly, it relies on good will and voluntary action, where obligation and responsibility are obscured. Secondly, it encourages models of reconstructions suited to the interests of NGOs where resources do not reach where they are most needed.
Once we have understood the ways in which inequalities are connected to natural disasters, we will be able to reject reductive or technocratic 'solutions' to the impacts of climate change in pursuit of the reorganisation of social life in ways that properly distributes resources according to need. Likewise, if we acknowledge that no disaster is 'natural', but rather created by inequality and that inequalities are patterned by imperial and colonial histories, then we are left with no choice but to advocate for the global redistribution of resources and wealth. This also necessitates forms of radical democracy in which people have a direct say in the decisions affecting them. The combination of these changes would substantially undermine the causes, and help to mitigate some of the worst effects, of climate change.

There are lots of websites, blogs and guidebooks that offer advice on what to pack for a day hike, including some excellent guidance for beginning hikers. This post provides a quick overview of what we typically bring along on a day hike in the summer. Keep in mind we're a family of four: Mom, Dad and two sons (ages 15 and 11). While our oldest son now carries most of his own gear, we tend to limit our youngest son's load to his water for the day, a couple of snacks and maybe a point-and-shoot camera.
Rather than laying out everyone's pack and contents, this post will focus on what Mrs. GeoK typically carries on a summer day hike. NOTE: when hiking in the shoulder season we add a fair bit to our loads, including a toque, an extra pair socks, a set of thermal underwear and an extra sweater for each of us.
Mrs. GeoK packs just about everything but the kitchen sink for a day hike. Her pack usually weighs in at about 10 kg (22 lbs), which lightens up she drinks water.
So, what is all this stuff? Starting from the top left, her camera gear (watch for a separate post in the coming week, outline the camera gear we bring along on a hike).
Then there's a grouping of first aid stuff: a family-sized basic first aid kit (checked each spring so that anything with an expiry date can be refreshed), extra gloves, triangle bandages and a SAM splint. Both Mrs. GeoK and oldest son completed a two-day, basic first-aid training course within the last eighteen months. A little further to the right is an Epi-pen; we usually carry a few of these, along with Benadryl, on account of some severe allergies within our family unit.
Moving further right, still across the top of the photo, is our foul weather gear for the summer: neoprene gloves (to keep hands reasonably warm in the event of a torrential downpour or a mid-summer blizzard), good quality rain jacket (with hood) and rain pants. If you look carefully, you'll also spot the waterproof sac that can be used to cover Mrs. GeoKs' day pack, along with a bivy sack, to be used as an emergency sleeping bag, warming blanket or very basic shelter. And 'though not in the photo, we each carry a small camping towel, which can be handy in an emergency.
On the far right, still at the top of the photo, is an air horn. We carry air horns, along with bear spray, in the event of an up-close encounter with a bear, cougar or wolf. Some references suggest using an air horn may scare the animal away. It's very light, as there are just a few plastic part filled with moderately compressed air, and if nothing else, it would serve as a loud emergency signal.
Back to the left side of the photo, a little lower down, is an insulated 3 litre Camelbak. Depending on the distance we'll be hiking, we carry anywhere from 1.5 to 3 litres of water per person and leave additional water in the vehicle, in case we're all out of water by the time we return to the parking area. Also, you'll see two small glass bottles in the photo: these are a very basic water purification system, just in case we end up stranded in the mountains overnight.
Moving right from the top of the Camelbak, sunscreen and mosquito repellant are basic essentials. Elsewhere in the photo you'll spot a tube of lip balm and a set of nail clippers, a couple of personal items that Mrs. GeoK likes to tuck into one of the waist pouches on her pack.
Other odds and ends in the middle of the photo include a small notepad, which can be used for playing hangman, tic-tac-toe, emergency replacement logs in caches, etc. There's also a couple of pens and pencils.
Right around the center of the photo are a few other safety-based items, including a compass, a detailed topo map of the area we'll be hiking, a copy of the trail description and a signal mirror. A little below the safety mirror, you'll spot a bright orange safety whistle and a little to the right of that, a canister of bear spray. NOTE: For a few of the trail in Banff National Park, Parks Canada is requiring that hikers travel in groups of at least four and that at least one person in the group carries bear spray. It's a good idea to check trail conditions – including any such restrictions – before heading out to hike.
There are a few more things Mrs. GeoK carries that she hopes never to have to use on the trail: a small shovel, TP and ziploc baggies – just in case; some small candles, fire starter, a lighter and a container of waterproof matches; a multi-tool; and a flashlight.
A few other items that are tucked into the other pack waist pouch include a handful of pathtags (to leave in geocaches), some tissues, a handful of lifesavers, and a hair fastener and clips (just in case it gets really windy).
Finally, a few electronics and gadgets: a Family Service Radio (FSR, aka walkie-talkie) (every member of the family carries one of these, so we can keep in touch if we get spread out along the hiking trail or in case one of us goes off to do a bit of exploring while the rest of us relax after lunch; also, we might be able to reach help in case of an emergency); a GPS receiver (loaded with geocaches in the area); and a monocular (all the better to see wild animals, distant hikers, soaring birds or anything else that catches our eye).
All of that goes into Mrs. GeoKs' well-fitted Osprey Aura 35 litre pack, along with a hearty packed lunch. Her pack usually weighs in around 10 kg (22 pounds) at the start of the day, and her load becomes lighter as she drinks her water supply for the day.
The packing list has evolved over the years, based on our hiking experiences. For example, we never used to carry neoprene gloves and we'd only take full rain gear if the weather forecast included a chance of rain. But after getting caught in an early August blizzard a few summers ago, we now carry full rain gear regardless of the forecast, neoprene gloves for everyone and emergency fire starting supplies.
This overview of Mrs. GeoKs' day hiking pack contents applies for pretty much any wilderness hike longer than about 10 km. Anything shorter than that, we usually lighten the load, unless we're out with people who aren't very experience hikers and feel it's prudent to bring along the full range of emergency supplies. And this overview excludes any consideration of hat, sunglasses, hiking footwear, trekking poles, and other important articles for an enjoyable hike.
What about you? What do you take on a day hike? And if you noticed anything that you think we've overlooked, please leave a comment with your advice.
How do you like your Osprey? I just got a Sirrus 36 because of my husband's good experience w/ his Osprey. I've only had mine out once so far. Thanks for the great post.
Love my Osprey…have hiked with it for 3 or 4 seasons now and it's perfectly adjusted to take all the weight in my hips, so I don't get as many of the post-exercise headaches that I used to after hiking. The waist pouches are convenient and the Camelbak pouch is essential. The only downside is that we had to purchase separate waterproof covers. My smaller Camelbak pack has a built in rain cover.

Q: how to use a onkeyup function in javaScript to get the value using ajax with spring How to use the on key up event with timeout option. The values typed should return the data that matched in the data base
here my Jquery code is
function searchUserId() {
  var userId = $('#userId').val();
  //var moduleID = $('#moduleIdList').val();

  $.ajax({
    url: "controlpanel/SearchUserData",
    type: "POST",
    data: "userId=" + userId,
      //+ "&roleName=" + roleName,
      //For Progress Bar
    success: function(response) {
      alert(userId);
      $('#page-wrapper').html(response);
    }
  });
}

<input type="text" tabindex="1" class="form-control" name="userId" id="userId" maxlength="20"
   onkeyup="searchUserId();"data-validation-engine="validate[required]"/>

A: By 'timeout option' I assume that you mean to use this to only trigger the function when the user has finished typing.
First you should remove the onkeyup attribute from the HTML.
Then add the following to your JS:
var timer;

$('#userId').on('keyup', function() {
  if (timer) clearTimeout(timer);
  timer = setTimeout(searchUserId,300);
});

This will reset the timer if another keyup event is triggered within 300ms, so the function will not get triggered when the user is still typing. Of course you can set this to any value you like.

A: You can do like this
HTML
<input type="text" tabindex="1" class="form-control" name="userId" id="userId" maxlength="20"
   "data-validation-engine="validate[required]"/>

Jauery
$('#userId').on('keyup',function () {
    var userId = $(thi).val();
    //var moduleID = $('#moduleIdList').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: "controlpanel/SearchUserData",
        type: "POST",
        data: "userId=" + userId,
        //+ "&roleName=" + roleName,
        //For Progress Bar
        success: function(response) {
            alert(userId);
            $('#page-wrapper').html(response);
        }
    });
});

Arctic Circle: How Can I Get There From Fairbanks, Alaska?
The Northern Lights, herds of caribou, and miles and miles of open space — these are what people think of when they think of Alaska. It's vast and open, and if you look at the map, it is literally cut off from the rest of the US. This, added with its quiet and dark atmosphere makes it the perfect place to get away if you're looking for some solitude. But where do you even start when visiting Alaska? After all, this cold, secluded state is pretty big. Luckily, Airlink Alaska can help you out. They offer various tours and know just what they're doing, allowing you to achieve the best experience possible. One of their greatest tours will take you from Fairbanks, Alaska to the Arctic Circle – 400 miles roundtrip through the scenic tundra. You won't find much traffic here at all. Well, everyone knows that the best adventures start when you take the road less traveled.
What is the Arctic Circle Anyway?
Alaska is filled with rich, beautiful landscapes. If you're like a lot of people looking to get the most out of their trip to Alaska, you're probably starting in the city of Fairbanks. What you'll find in Fairbanks that will be hard for you to find anywhere else is the incredible land excursion tours offered. You won't want to miss the opportunity of taking a bus tour to the Arctic Circle. But before you decide to go, you may be wondering why you should go in the first place.
What is the Arctic Circle anyway? To put it simply, it's just an imaginary line that goes around the northernmost part of the world. This may not seem like such a big deal, but once you cross over to the Arctic Circle, you can get a feel for a totally different world. Here, the sun does not set at all during Summer Solstice and does not rise during the Winter Solstice. The further you go above the Arctic Circle, the longer the time period is for how long the sun stays up or stays down. This phenomenon is caused by the tilt of the earth's axis and how it affects this area of the world more intensely based on its extreme northern location. Imagine a 24 hour day of complete sun or complete darkness. It's unlike any other part of the world, and if you come during one of the solstices, you can experience it for yourself.
We've already mentioned that once you cross over the Arctic Circle line, you'll be in a land where days and nights are completely skewed. This is an incredible natural phenomenon that can be an awe-inspiring experience. It's not just about making it across the line that divides the Arctic Circle. It's all about the journey to get there. The state of Alaska holds a sense of peaceful tranquility and many people come here simply to take all of it in.
If you choose to take Airlink Alaska's Arctic Circle Tour, you'll get to see a variety of wildlife during the day while on the road, including bears and moose. Alaska's tundra environment is absolutely beautiful, whether you visit in the summer or the winter. While taking the trip across the famous Dalton Highway, you'll get to see the Yukon River and Finger Mountain in all their glory. You'll also be closely following the Trans-Alaska Pipeline for nearly the entire trip. If the Dalton Highway begins to look familiar to you, it might be because you recognize it from the show, Ice Road Truckers, as they take the Dalton Highway, too.
Many people choose to take Airlink Alaska's Arctic Circle tour for the opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis on the way back. At night, you'll be able to see the Northern Lights, and it's so stunning that you won't believe your eyes when you see it. A picture of the Aurora Borealis does no real justice for the real thing. The amazing streams of shimmering colors lighting up the night sky is truly a sight that you'll never forget, and you'll finally be able to say that you got to experience seeing the Northern Lights for yourself.
You'll remember this trip for years and years to come, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to capture it all with a camera if you take a tour with Airlink Alaska. Airlink Alaska will be sure to make plenty of stops along the way, giving you ample chances to get out and take fantastic photos. One of the most popular pictures that people take is of them standing in front of the famous Arctic Circle sign. You'll have the opportunity to get in front of the sign and get your picture too, so that you can preserve these incredible memories and keep them with you forever.
When you take an Arctic Circle tour with Airlink Alaska, you can expect only the highest quality of a trip. The road from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle totals 198 miles each way. That is 198 miles of incredible scenery. You'll make lots of stops along the way. The first stop will be to a grocery store so that you can get anything that you could possibly need for the trip. After all, this is a trip that will last 12 to 14 hours total and you'll need lots of food and drinks to take with you.
It may seem like a long time, but what you will see and experience will make it completely worth it. You may even find that the tour ends far too soon, leaving you longing to see more of the beautiful state of Alaska. Next after the trip to the grocery store, you'll stop at the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. After that, you'll get to stop at the Yukon River Bridge. This bridge spans for half a mile, across the largest river in all of Alaska. After that, you'll get to stop and see Finger Mountain. These rock formations are mighty impressive, looking like fingers jutting out of the earth. This stop is a great opportunity to take lots of incredible pictures. Finally, you'll arrive at your long awaited destination, the Arctic Circle Monument. You'll receive a Crossing Certificate that you'll get to keep for yourself for years and years to come. The trip all the way there is during the day, and this is when you'll get to see all the wildlife doing their own thing in their natural habitat. Alaska is beautiful at night as well, and on the way back to Fairbanks, you'll get to experience the magical of the Northern Lights during the winter months. It is truly a sight you don't want to miss.
There are so many wonderful things about this trip, and you won't want to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime. Get to discover all the beauty of Alaska — from roaming wildlife and scenic tundra, to the Northern Lights and Yukon River — when you take the journey to the Arctic Circle.
