This shot was taken using available light from a window coming through a curtain made out of some cloth material, which acted as the perfect light diffuser. My cousin's face looks pretty soft when viewed at 100% because at the time I was using a Sigma 30mm f1.4. Little did I know that this lens, as with anything Sigma, had quality issues and when used in AF mode pretty much focused on anything BUT your focus point.
The picture was further post processed in PS CS4 using Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0's Draken/Lighten and Glamour Glow filters.


Jo Malone Nashi Blossom Cologne is a bright, juicy scent that's perfect for Spring. I'd describe it as a grown up fruity floral that reminds me of crisp linen, warm skin and picnics with home made lemonade (or G&T, who am I kidding?). Crisp, clean and effervescent, the initial whoosh of refreshing lemon settles to a much softer musky floral.
Have you ever seen a happier looking perfume bottle? Monochrome polka dots and a metallic lime lid... what dressing table could resist? The design is inspired by the Nashi blossom's pure white flowers with black stamen, creating that pretty polka dot effect.
Blossoms on the East Asian Nashi pear tree traditionally symbolise the start of Spring (Nashi means pear in Japanese) . The tree's sweet, crisp fruit resembles a cross between an apple and pear - and notes of both are included in this scent. The fruit itself is fragrant and considered a delicacy, often given as a gift, very apt inspiration for a perfume don't you think? Its blossom also has a hint of rose, included in the heart of Jo Malone Nashi Blossom.
I can definitely catch the lemon, rose and pear.
Another quick swoon at those dots, which carry right around the bottle... I can't look at it without smiling.
I'll be saving this one for warmer weather when I'm most drawn to this kind of fragrance and will really appreciate that zesty spritz. If fruity florals aren't really your thing, hold out for Black Cedarwood & Juniper in June, a stunning unisex relaunch from the London Rain collection and one of the most sophisticated scents I've tried in a long time.
Jo Malone London Nashi Blossom cologne is a limited edition, on counters from May 2016 in 30ml (£44) and 100ml (£89) and already online at Jo Malone.

Паранам () — город на северо-востоке Суринама, расположенной в прибрежной зоне округа Пара. По статистическим данным на 1977 год население составляло 1800 чел. Город является промышленным центром республики.

История
Город был построен в 1938 году, после того как в округе Пара были обнаружены залежи бокситов. Во время второй мировой войны для охраны суринамских рудников от вторжения из Французской Гвианы из США были переброшены 2000 американских солдат и 73 танка. В дальнейшем охрана рудников была переложена на силы милиции Суринама и Колониальных войск Нидерландов. Паранамская шахта начала свою деятельность в 1941 году.
В 60-х годах в Паранаме был построен алюминиевый завод, объем производства которого составлял 1,7 млн тонн в год.
3 января 2017 года владельцы завода объявили о его закрытии.

Описание
Город Паранам находится на слиянии рек Пара и Суринам. Глубина реки Суринам здесь такая большая, что позволяет заходить в порт океанским судам.
В городе есть многоквартирные дома, магазины розничной торговли, спортивные сооружения (в том числе бассейн) и больница. Для обеспечения алюминиевого завода электричеством от ГЭС в Брокопондо проложена 70 километровая высоковольтная линия электропередач.

Sturm, Hong win 2016 Hilgard Prize for their paper on predicting scour around bridges during floods
Post-doctoral researcher Seung Ho Hong with the 24-meter long, 4.3-meter wide flume he and Professor Terry Sturm used for their Hilgard Prize-winning paper on erosion around bridge supports during floods, "Clear Water Abutment Scour in a Compound Channel for Extreme Hydrologic Events." They were able to extend a method of predicting the erosion, known as bridge scour, to situations where the bridge opening is submerged and where floodwaters wash over the bridge. Hong is now an assistant professor at West Virginia University. (Photo: Gary Meek)
Oklahoma's Washita River washes over the Highway 377 bridge in June 2015. Terry Sturm and Seung Ho Hong studied the erosion around a bridge's abutments in this kind of flood situation as well as in situations where the bridge opening is submerged but water does not overtop the bridge. (Photo: Army Corps of Engineers)
Professor Terry Sturm and former Ph.D. student Seung Ho Hong have received a top research award for hydraulic engineering from the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The Karl Emil Hilgard Prize recognizes a superior paper that deals with a problem of flowing water, according to the organization. Sturm and Hong won for a study on predicting the amount of erosion, or scour, around bridge supports during floods.
Along with Cardiff University's Thorsten Stoesser, they published the paper last year in the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering.
"Currently, no formula for abutment scour is widely applicable, nor has the term itself been distinctly defined, because of difficulties in understanding the complex flow and scouring mechanisms that occur near bridge abutments in compound channels," the authors wrote.
Their experiment offered "new insights into the turbulence … around an abutment and suggests a framework for evaluating the scour potential of scour-critical bridges," they wrote. The researchers found they could extend a prediction method used in free-flowing water to situations where floodwaters completely submerge the bridge opening and where they wash over bridges altogether.
Hong is now an assistant professor at West Virginia University after completing his doctorate in 2013 and a post-doctoral researcher position in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering last year. Stoesser was a faculty member and researcher in the School before he moved to Cardiff.
Hong, Stoesser and Sturm will receive their award in May at the annual meeting of ASCE's Environmental and Water Resources Institute.

Visual Storyteller - earth daughter - lover of the ocean.
I was raised by some pretty cool people. I mean who names their daughter after the 70's queen of rock 'n' roll?.. That would be my parents. I'm the oldest of five and my most treasured childhood moments were spent covered in mud. I have often found myself chasing that which makes me feel alive and vibrant, doing my best to weave an authentic connection to the earth as my soul so craves. When this happens everything feels right in my world.
My husband and I have five bright eyed babes who make our world spin and are my largest source of motivation to pull my camera out and capture today. There's lots of cooking, dreaming, dancing around the kitchen before the sun is up, chasing waves at the beach, snuggles before bed and plenty of chaos in between, but it's everything I've ever wanted. I wholeheartedly believe in embracing all that children are. So let them run wild, I promise I'll find your magic.
My passion for photography stems from so many places. It's ability to be raw and endlessly expressive, to see the beauty in the connection and details that can often times go unseen and to document a part of the journey. The authenticity of emotions that can be frozen to take with us for tomorrow, it's a beautiful thing. I often turn my lens to see the world as it is and all that embodies lifestyle photography, but I'm also not afraid to create art with a vision and passion for what it is I want to see.
My inspiration is infused by laughing children, loving touch, vintage film, golden light, native traditions and the feeling you get walking barefoot in the forest. I am honored to help you tell your story and capture a timeless moment for you to treasure and keep always.
Stevie is a natural light photographer based in the bay area, CA who specializes in love-inspired portraiture.


Nestled among gently rolling hills and the Crawfish River is the City of Columbus. Located in the southeast corner of Columbia County, Columbus presents an almost perfect portrait of the late 19th century, with over 200 century-old commercial and residential buildings. One of these being the historic Governor Lewis Mansion. He was one of the governors that led Wisconsin through the tumultuous years of the Civil War. Although the mansion is still intact, the interior needed renovations. Not all was lost, however, because the owners were able to restore artifacts such as books, ledgers, letters, autographs and pictures of Columbus citizens in the 1800s. Nowadays, it can be found to host events such as weddings, but all you need to do is take one step inside and you can feel the history echo through the halls of this mansion.
The Columbus School district has education for all ages, from 4 Year-Old Kindergarten to high school. The District empowers students to be a community, career, and college ready. They make a sincere commitment to create a global learning experience in rural Wisconsin. The district provides this through individualized attention, while offering an extensive array of courses to ensure students' future success.
The Columbus Community Hospital dedicates themselves to building caring relationships for those who they serve, as they guide he journey to health and wellness. They strive to be your preferred choice for personalized high quality health care, wellness and education provided in a compassionate and innovative environment.

Daily Fantasy Sports are where it's at and DailyRoto.com covers them all. For all your Fantasy Golf and Fantasy Basketball needs, check out the pages of DailyRoto.com, where no less than four people received the information and advice that helped them win million dollar prizes.
We Fantasy team owners love to boast that we were the first in our league to find the next rookie sensation. I'm talking about a prospect who can provide a Fantasy team with an unexpected spark that will help propel it to a Fantasy championship.
Despite all the detailed scouting reports and other resources at our disposal, finding that special rookie impact player is extremely difficult. You might end up falling in love with several rookies but despite all your draft prep, prospects are a volatile group and rostering too many of them can work against you because of their unpredictable nature.
Try to limit your exposure to a select one or two that you feel particularly strong about. I've selected five rookie batters who have a good chance to secure ample playing time, and have the skill set that gives them a good chance at a successful rookie season. Take my advice, but you should also do your own research to determine if a particular player should be added to your Fantasy team.
At press time, MLB.com's Rockies depth chart lists McMahon as Colorado's starting first baseman. Ian Desmond was expected to play first base for the Rockies last season, but he broke his hand in spring training. With Carlos Gonzalez likely headed out of Colorado via free agency, Desmond will play in the outfield in 2018. McMahon's natural position is third base, but that spot is currently owned by perennial All-Star Nolan Arenado. Although he can also play second base, McMahon's best chance to secure regular at bats this season is as the Rockies' first baseman.
The 23-year-old left-handed hitting McMahon has a lifetime minor league triple slash of .298/.368/.510. He should fare well in Coors Field, which ranked number one in overall run production in 2017. Scouting reports describe a "natural loft" to his swing, and he is a naturally gifted power hitter. The league average for isolated power (ISO) was .171. McMahon only posted an ISO below .210 once during in his five-year minor league career. He did a good job of limiting his strikeouts last season. His K rate dropped from 30.1 percent in 2016 to 17.7 percent in 2017. McMahon battled through 19 unremarkable big-league at-bats late last season but, if he has a good spring he could get regular at-bats in 2018.
Despite his relatively small 5-foot 8-inch, 187-pound frame, the 23-year-old Calhoun can pack a punch, as his minor-league career .520 slugging percentage and .868 OPS suggest. Calhoun has excellent bat speed and is a power hitter with a lifetime minor-league ISO of over .200. However, he doesn't carry all the expected high strikeout baggage that so many other sluggers do. His above average 11.6 percent minor-league career strikeout rate dipped a bit when he was called up to the big leagues, but it was still a manageable 18.9 percent in a limited 37 PA sample size. Calhoun is an excellent contact hitter, and his .348 minor league career OBP demonstrates that he's got solid on base skills. He has the potential to get 400 plus at bats with the Rangers this season, and with his power potential and ability to make contact, he could produce a .270-plus batting average and bang out upwards of 20 home runs as a full-time major league hitter.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard all the hype surrounding Acuna, especially if you're a baseball fan who plans on owning a Fantasy team this season. There's a lot to love about him. He has true five-tool potential, and even though he's just 19 years old, Acuna has excelled at every level of professional baseball he's played. Last season, he batted .287 in High A ball, .326 in Double-A, and .344 in Triple-A ball. He ended his 2017 season in the Arizona Fall League, where he was the youngest player ever to win the league's MVP award. Acuna has demonstrated excellent plate discipline, and although he might not start the season in the big leagues, he should make his big-league debut early enough in 2018 to make an impact on your Fantasy team.
The Rays are in rebuilding mode for 2018, and as their top offensive prospect Adames could make his major-league debut and receive regular playing time early in the season. Adames is a line drive hitter with good bat speed who can spray the ball to all fields. He has a career double-digit walk rate, and a .365 OBP. Adames has developing power. He has a lifetime .410 slugging percentage and has hit 30 or more doubles in each of the last two seasons. As he fills out his 6-foot 200-pound frame and develops what I like to call "man strength," some of those doubles can turn into home runs, and he could eventually develop upper teen to lower 20 home run potential production. Adames has moderate speed and has stolen 10 or more bases in each of the past three seasons.
Sticking with the Rays — Brad Miller is penciled in as their first baseman for the upcoming season, but ... let's face it, he is an awful hitter! The Rays placed Bauers on their 40-man roster, and while he can play both first base and in the outfield, it's probably just a matter of time before he replaces Miller and gets regular at-bats. Bauers has compiled a .276/.362/.412 triple slash thus far in the minor leagues. There are only a few first basemen (Paul Goldschmidt and Wil Myers come to mind) who can consistently steal bases, but Bauer has stolen 30 of 39 bags over the past two seasons. He's still just 22 years old, and he's another prospect with developing power. Like Adames, the 59 doubles he's hit over the past two seasons could be a good indication that we'll see some more power coming off his bat as his career progresses.

Feb 8, Here is a complete list of all the eBooks directories and search engine on the web. The list compiled below is not the place for links to sites.
But EPUB isn't just for books: With it, you can:. You start this tutorial by generating an EPUB book manually to help you learn all the components and required files. Next, the tutorial shows how to bundle the finished digital book and validate it against the specification as well as how to test it in various reading systems. No particular operating system is assumed for this tutorial, although you should be familiar with the mechanics of creating files and directories.
No particular operating system is assumed for this tutorial, although you should be familiar with the mechanics of creating files and directories. To complete the examples in this tutorial, you need a Java interpreter version 1. However, experienced XML developers should be able to adapt the examples to any programming language with XML libraries.
You can read the EPUB format using a variety of open source and commercial software on all major operating systems, e-ink devices such as the Sony PRS, and small devices such as the Apple iPhone. Although traditional print publishers were the first to adopt EPUB, nothing in the format limits its use to eBooks. PDF is still the most widely used electronic document format in the world.
From a book publisher's point of view, PDF has several advantages:. Otherwise, EPUB is simple:. A minimally conforming EPUB bundle has several required files.
The specification can be quite strict about the format, contents, and location of those files within the EPUB archive. This section explains what you must know when you work with the EPUB standard. A sample book following this pattern is available from Downloadable resources , but I recommend that you create your own as you follow the tutorial.
Open a text editor or an IDE such as Eclipse. I recommend using an editor that has an XML mode—in particular, one that can validate against the Relax NG schemas listed in Related topics. This one's pretty easy: The mimetype file is required and must be named mimetype. The contents of the file are always:. Additionally, the mimetype file must be the first file in the ZIP archive and must not itself be compressed. For now, just create this file and save it, making sure that it's at the root level of your EPUB project.
EPUB reading systems will look for this file first, as it points to the location of the metadata for the digital book. Inside it, open a new file called container. The container file is very small, but its structural requirements are strict. The value of full-path in bold is the only part of this file that will ever vary. These topics are not covered in this tutorial. See the OCF specification for more information.
The mimetype and container files are the only two whose location in the EPUB archive are strictly controlled. As recommended although not required , store the remaining files in the EPUB in a sub-directory. The following section of this tutorial covers the files that go into OEBPS—the real meat of the digital book: Although this file can be named anything, the OPF file is conventionally called content.
It specifies the location of all the content of the book, from its text to other media such as images. The OPF document itself must use the namespace http: Dublin Core defines a set of common metadata terms that you can use to describe a wide variety of digital materials; it's not part of the EPUB specification itself.
Any of these terms are allowed in the OPF metadata section.
When you build an EPUB for distribution, include as much detail as you can here, although the extract provided in Listing 4 is sufficient to start. The two required terms are title and identifier.
According to the EPUB specification, the identifier must be a unique value, although it's up to the digital book creator to define that unique value.
Note that the value of the attribute unique-identifier must match the ID attribute of the dc: Including a meta element with the name attribute containing cover is not part of the EPUB specification directly, but is a recommended way to make cover pages and images more portable.
This example shows both forms. The value of the meta element's content attribute should be the ID of the book's cover image in the manifest, which is the next part of the OPF file. This usually means a list of XHTML files that make up the text of the eBook plus some number of related media such as images.
Every file that goes into your digital book must be listed in the manifest. You must include the first item, toc.
EPUB supports four image file formats as core types: You can include non-supported file types if you provide a fall-back to a core type. See the OPF specification for more information on fall-back items. This is easy to confuse with the reference to the OPF file in the container.
Although the manifest tells the EPUB reader which files are part of the archive, the spine indicates the order in which they appear, or—in EPUB terms—the linear reading order of the digital book. One way to think of the OPF spine is that it defines the order of the "pages" of the book. The spine is read in document order, from top to bottom.
Listing 6 shows an extract from the OPF file. Each itemref element has a required attribute idref , which must match one of the IDs in the manifest.
The toc attribute is also required. The linear attribute in the spine indicates whether the item is considered part of the linear reading order versus being extraneous front- or end-matter. The last part of the OPF content file is the guide. This section is optional but recommended. Listing 7 shows an extract from a guide file. The guide is a way of providing semantic information to an EPUB reading system. While the manifest defines the physical resources in the EPUB and the spine provides information about their order, the guide explains what the sections mean.
Here's a partial list of the values that are allowed in the OPF guide:. For a complete list, see the OPF 2. This is rarely a problem when you generate EPUBs programmatically, where the same code can output to two different files. Take care to put the same information in both places, as different EPUB readers might use the values from one or the other.
Although the OCF file is defined as part of EPUB itself, the last major metadata file is borrowed from a different digital book standard. DAISY is a consortium that develops data formats for readers who are unable to use traditional books, often because of visual impairments or the inability to manipulate printed works. The NCX defines the table of contents of the digital book. In complex books, it is typically hierarchical, containing nested parts, chapters, and sections.
It's okay to be confused, as both files describe the order and contents of the document. The easiest way to explain the difference is through analogy with a printed book: The OPF spine describes how the sections of the book are physically bound together, such that turning a page at the end of one chapter reveals the first page of the second chapter.
The NCX describes the table of contents at the beginning of the book. The table of contents always includes all the major sections of the book, but it might also list sub-sections that don't occur on their own pages.
The navMap is the most important part of the NCX file, as it defines the table of contents for the actual book. The navMap contains one or more navPoint elements.

First earthquake-proof bridge planned in US
Rendering of the future south portal of the State Route 99, showing location of the planned exit ramp
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has approved plans for the construction of a bendable bridge to withstand earthquakes.
The bridge represents the first real-world test of science that has been developed over the past 15 years at the University of Nevada.
Constructed from "super-elastic metals and bendable composites", Seattle's State Route 99 exit ramp will theoretically be able to withstand a quake measuring 7.5 on the Richter Scale.
Using shape-memory alloys, the frames of the bridge will have the capacity to bend and twist under pressure, then return to its original shape.
Tom Baker, bridge and structures engineer for WSDOT, said, "This is potentially a giant leap forward. We design for no collapse, but in the future, we could be designing for no damage and be able to keep bridges open to emergency vehicles, commerce and the public after a strong quake.
"We're testing this cutting-edge technology in a real-live lab now. We'll examine how it performs with heavy traffic volumes, rain, freezing and thawing cycles and evaluate where we go from here."

Q: Reference loops I don't know how better to describe this. So take this example.
var a = {
  x: 1,
  y: 2 };

var b = {
  z: 3,
  refA = a };

a.refB = b;

I have a preference that this is sort of behavior is ugly.  So at best, I have a personal disagreement with this sort of coding.  You should not need to have these types of references, and it leads to code that is difficult to comprehend.
However, does anyone see a technical penalty for doing these sort of references.

A: Mutual references (what you call reference loops) are necessary for some data structures.  Many trees have links pointing from parent to child and vice-versa; double-linked lists have a prev and next pointer.
Is there a particular reason you don't like this?

A: Javascript is a dynamic language. What you are describing, adding a property at runtime, is a feature in this case.

A: I do not think there should be any penalty for reference loop. In some case this is needed too. For e.g. customer and account object. In account object you will have reference to customer (one or many) and in customer you need reference to account (again can be more than one)

A: It's called circular references, and is in some ways necessary or can not be avoided. Best example is a regular dictionary - where you explain the meaning of a word with other words. Or linked lists.
So depening on your use case, it may be of good or evil.

A: There is no performance penalty. The circular references are just pointers to each other, not copies. Like someone else mentioned, sometimes it is necessary to have circular references. Most heirchical structures use circular references to represent parent/child relationships. Sometimes the child needs to know the parent and the parent needs to know the child. It makes it easy to walk up and down the hierarchical ladder so to speak.

My interest in photography began as a child in Italy. At first, I was intrigued by the mechanics of the camera, and sadly, destroyed a few by dismantling them to see how they worked.
Gradually I began to understand how I could express myself through my images. Friends made encouraging comments about some of my pictures and they began to rely on me to document events. At that time I began doing some sports photography for our region's newspapers. Later, I opened a professional studio with a friend in Italy that specialized in commercial photography creating brochures, catalogs and other marketing materials. I used large format studio cameras for that work and began to develop film myself.
The more I traveled in midlife the more I began to experiment with various lenses and subjects. I also realized the importance of photography in helping me notice details and the particulars of various places and events. I'm still fascinated by B&W images and sometimes miss the chemistry of the darkroom.
Even though I loved the magic of the darkroom, I embraced digital photography in its infancy. I find never-ending gratification from learning more about various software applications, composition and light control.
I'm challenged by the potential of photography both as documentation and artistic expression. Photography offers so many possibilities to create and so much new technology to learn that it continually engages my interest. Lately I have been experimenting with printing my own work and am amazed by the quality that can be achieved.

The Creighton Mine Athletic Association (C.M.A.A.) was founded in November 1949 in Creighton Mine, Ontario. The objective of the C.M.A.A. was to sponsor and organize a variety of sports teams and athletic activities for the residents of Creighton Mine. Athletics were a popular and important pastime in the town and the International Nickel Company (Inco) took every opportunity to promote those activities, especially among their mining staff. The C.M.A.A. provided funding for the following sports teams in the area: senior men's baseball, junior boy's baseball, junior girls softball, women's softball, men's softball, basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton and hockey. The C.M.A.A. provided uniforms and equipment for the teams and arranged transportation for out-of-town games, sometimes using their own vehicles and sometimes hiring taxis. All Inco employees and non-employees living in the Sudbury and Creighton Mine areas were free to join any of the sports teams sponsored by the C.M.A.A. The association also funded a playground for Creighton Mine, planned a field day each year between 1951 and at least 1955 and provided money for, and took care of, the Creighton Mine Rink.
To fund these endeavors the C.M.A.A. collected dues from their members, had monthly dances, hosted a weekly bingo night until March 1953 and raffled off prizes a number of times per year. Meetings were held at the Employees Club at Inco in Creighton Mine.
The C.M.A.A. dissolved in 1973. By 1986, the town of Creighton Mine closed down due to the high cost of maintaining the area and residents were relocated to other, nearby communities.
President (Honourable – President of Inco):
Earl E. Mumford (1951 – 1968)
Bruce King (1969 – [1973])
Chairmen:

Further accruals are not expected.
Earl Mumford was born in Mond, Ontario August 30, 1907. After attending Sudbury Mining and Technical School he began his career in 1927 at Worthington Mine as a drill helper. In 1934 he became a stope boss at the International Nickel Company's (Inco) Creighton Mine, was promoted to General Foreman in 1939, Mine Superintendent in 1947 and retired in 1969 as Area Manager of Creighton Mine. When Mumford was promoted to Mine Superintendent, his goal was to improve safety in the mine and Creighton became known for its safety records during the 1960's. Mumford married Aino Manninen in 1936 and had three children, Patricia Sharpe (née Patricia Mumford), William Mumford and Earl Mumford. He died on December 22, 1974. After his death, both Mumford Drive in Walden Industrial Park and the Lively branch of what is now part of the Greater Sudbury Public Library were named after Earl Mumford.
To learn more about Earl Mumford, see his obituary in The Sudbury Star, December 23, 1974, p. 3.
Bruce Thomas King was born May 19, 1915 in Raymond, Alberta. In 1937, he graduated in mining engineering from the University of Utah. He first began his mining career at Little Long Lac Mine in Geraldton and moved to Creighton, Ontario In May, 1938. In 1947, King became the General Forman. In 1950, he was transferred to Murray Mine to be the Superintendent and in late 1951, King was transferred again to Frood Mine. In 1954, Bruce King was appointed Superintendent at the Garson Mine. In 1968, he became Area Superintendent of Garson, Kirkwood and Maclennan Mines. Bruce King married Pauline Witbeck June 16, 1937 in his hometown and had two children. He died in Raymond, Alberta on November 20, 1994.

"Our focus is all about innovations in lightweighting, which means providing our members with state-of-the-art equipment," stated Nigel Francis, CEO and executive director of LIFT, on the recent installation of a HELLER FP 6000 five-axis CNC machine at the research/manufacturing center in Detroit.
DoD Renews LIFT Lightweight Manufacturing R&D Program
Industrial research partnership negotiating a new long-term agreement with DoD, to continue pursuit of advanced lightweight metal manufacturing technologies
Forging Staff | Mar 05, 2019
The Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow (LIFT) initiative has drawn a renewed contract from the U.S. Dept. of Defense to continue work on critical defense programs, and announced that it is negotiating a new long-term partnership agreement with DoD. "The first five years of our institute have been a tremendous success, moving from an idea on paper to creating a world-class facility in Detroit and building an ecosystem of experts across the country," stated Nigel Francis, LIFT CEO and executive director.
"The value we have shown the Department of Defense, together with our industry and academic partners, enabled this extension and we are now working towards a new long-term agreement to be in place in the near future," he continued.
LIFT, is public-private partnership focused on developing and deploying of advanced lightweight metal manufacturing technologies, and implementing education and training initiatives. It coordinates academic and institutional research with likely and/or available industrial partners, with specific development targets.
LIFT is operated by the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute (ALMMII), and seeks also to prepare current and future workers for new manufacturing methods. It is one of the founding institutes of Manufacturing USA, and is funded in part by the Dept. of Defense, with management through the Office of Naval Research.
One of the recent projects at LIFT set out to develop "a localized physics-based visco-plastic finite element model" to predict mechanical deformation response, damage evolution mechanisms, and fatigue properties of forged Al-Li alloys. "We completed the first phase (of the research program), which was to develop the model for microstructure development and texture prediction in forging," LIFT chief technology officer Alan Taub explained recently.
In the current phase, called "Forging and Processing of Al-Li for Improved Performance and Structural Life", and in progress now, LIFT researchers are working to create a tool that engineers may use to model and predict mechanical responses of the material during forging.
Among the projects that LIFT and its partners have completed are:
- Methods for reducing the weight of cast iron automotive parts by 50%;
- Streamlined shipbuilding process via reducing distortion caused by welding, and using lightweight materials;
- Optimized the design of anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control system kits for military Humvees, cutting fatal rollovers by 74%;
- Launched the "MakerMinded" online STEM activity and competition platform for middle and high-school students in eight states;
- Developed the IGNITE: Mastering Manufacturing foundational curriculum, piloted at schools in three states, to prepare high schoolers for 21st Century design and production.
- Designed and implemented 40 education and workforce development partnerships in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, to address the manufacturing skills gap and align technology and talent development in advanced manufacturing
Among the manufacturing partners of LIFT are American Axle & Manufacturing, ArcelorMittal, Boeing Co., Carpenter Technologies, Comau, Eaton, Fanuc, General Electric, GKN, Heller, Lockheed Martin, and many others.

How did a great-nephew of George Washington come to be buried in a virtually forgotten graveyard far from the family's Potomac Valley plantations?
Kanawha Valley historian and environmental geographer Alex Cole says both the cemetery's illusive past and reasons as to why the landmark is not better known are mysteries he hopes others can help reveal.
Francis Augustine Washington, Sr., (1811-1872) and at least four other family members are buried in what's now the Frazier-Washington Cemetery, obscured among trees on a knoll above Hurricane Creek near its mouth on the Kanawha River in Putnam County.
Cole examines a neglected grave.
The senior Washington was the son of Lawrence Augustine Washington (1775–1824), a son of Samuel Washington (1734–1781), who was a brother of the president and the builder of Harewood, the Georgian plantation near Charles Town, West Virginia, more than two hundred miles* to the northeast.
In 1770, George Washington explored the Kanawha from its mouth on the Ohio up-river some fifteen miles and was soon thereafter awarded thousands of acres in the valley by the King's proclamation. He also purchased rights to thousands more acres from other landowners.
According to some sources, one of Washington's nephews accompanied him on his adventure into the Kanawha wilderness, but the thread that ties the younger Washington to the estates of his forebears has apparently been broken, if it existed.
Augustine's settlement on the Kanawha might have been coincidence. The rich river bottoms were among the most desirable tracts in the upper Ohio Valley region in the early 1800s, and might have attracted anyone of means.
The graves of members of the Frazier family—for which Frazier's Bottom on the Kanawha is named—stand alongside those of the Washingtons, though both family plots have fallen victim to time and forgetfulness, Cole points out.
Shaded by trees and an evergreen carpet of periwinkle, the graves are protected in many ways from the nuisance of a new expressway nearby, though Cole says he's concerned about possible negative impacts at the apparently abandoned site.
Here a tree has toppled, uprooting a primitive headstone in the process; there the lid of a tomb has cracked and chipped, its inscriptions worn illegibly. Though the vegetated state is ideal in many ways, Cole said, he worries about continued neglect. A new gas line built through the cemetery is an indicator of ever-present threats to the unprotected resource.
He says the completion of a new U.S. 35 expressway, which by-passes the Kanawha Valley to the south, may help bring tourism into the area by eliminating dangerous traffic situations, an economic circumstance he hopes the graveyard can enhance and influence.
*The distance traveled from Charles Town to Frazier's Bottom would have been more than 400 miles, provided the younger Washington followed the National Road west across the Alleghenies to Wheeling and then the Ohio and Kanawha rivers south.

Report of the Social Protection Committee on the application of Community rules to social services of general interest. 16062/08 Add 1, 20 November 2008
In November 2007, the Commission adopted a Communication on "Services of general interest, including social services of general interest: a new European commitment" 1 . This Communication builds on a large consultation process, to which the SPC's contribution was significant. It acknowledges the difficulties experienced by public authorities and service providers, in particular at the local level, in understanding and applying Community rules and the need to provide better explanations and practical guidance on how to apply these rules. In this context, two Staff Working Documents, dealing respectively with public procurement 2 and state aid rules 3 , have been issued. These documents provide answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) relating to the application of State aid and public procurement rules (PP rules), most of which were collected during the consultation process in the area of social services. They are complemented by an 'interactive information service' (IIS), which is a web service aimed at providing concrete guidance to citizens, public authorities and service providers in the area of services of general interest (SGI).
Community Work in Social Services Departments: The Case of the Social Housing Finance Corporation's Community Mortgage Program
In this circumstance of transfer and reconfiguration of power, roles and structures, public administrators have been looking for alternative pathways to pursue public policies that lead to building and strengthening the nation state, national economy, citizenry and achieving shared prosperity among its constituents. Related to this is the pursuit of social policies for social inclusion through, but not limited to, working with communities. According to Fawcet, Goodwin, Meagher and Philips (2010), policymakers in both developed and developing countries are underscoring the role and participation of communities in various areas of social policy with the distinct aim to manage social and economic inequalities. This has led to the "explosion of concepts" and mainstream use of terms like social capital, partnerships, community engagement, regeneration, renewal and capacity building which "strengthen and legitimize the role of civil society [and the community] in some areas of social policy" (2010, pp. 188-189). However, this has also led to the "convergence of policies on communities across advance capitalist states" (Somerville, 2016, p. 92) that has been "dominated by a neoliberal agenda" (Newman and Lake, 2006 as cited in Sommerville, 2016, p. 92). An agenda in which governments attempt to "govern through communities' (Rose, 1996 as cited in Sommerville, 2016,p. 92) by "construct[ing] communities" of governable subjects (Somerville, 2016, p. 112) in parallel with providing an "'institutional fix' for problems of social services and social policy" (Macmillan and Townsend, 2006 in Sommerville, 2016, p. 92).
Social services, community and equality : a perspective on the provision and use of child care
Data were processed using the procedures of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (Nie et al. 1975). These included the multiple response procedure to aggregate data in which the respondent gave more than one response to the same question. For example, in Section C of the quetionnaire, question 4 askeo respondents to indicate their reasons for using various forms of child care. The responses fell into three broad categories and often the same reason was given twice if more than one service was needed. The main value of multiple response tables is that they indicate the proportion of responses attributed to a specific variable. On the other hand, a limitation to their use is that no significance tests can be employed.
Community Care Statistics, Social Services Activity: England , Provisional Release
In 1999-00, there were problems with the size and representativeness of the sample used to derive the sample estimates. The councils in the sample may have had more activity in certain services than councils which did not respond that year. These concerns cast doubt on the P2f analysis for 1999-00, and the whole of this section was therefore withdrawn from January 2003. This means that there are no figures for 1999-00 for meals on wheels, home care/home help, professional support, transport and equipment. Time trends which use data for these items from previously published RAP reports are not valid.
Application of Community rules to social services of general interest: Operational conclusions of the Social Protection Committee. 16062/08, 20 November 2008
The SPC notes that the FAQs are generally welcomed and considered useful by most Member States and stakeholders. There are however remaining questions regarding the application of PP and state aid rules that the FAQs should address, with a view to reduce legal uncertainty in the social field. These questions relate in particular to the criterion of "affectation of trade between Member States", to the scope of PP rules and to the application of the SGEI package. They are identified in section 2.2 of the present report. The SPC proposes that these questions are taken into account when the Commission updates the FAQs. New relevant case-law - for example the Bupa 4 and the Coditel 5 cases - should also be referred to in the revised version of the FAQs documents. Furthermore, one should explore whether the FAQs should cover other Community rules. The SPC however notes that the FAQs cannot be the answer to all legal issues arising in the social field.
Community & Social Services Department 2014 Business Plan & Budget
The implementation date for the SSSMP set for fall of 2013 has been delayed for the secondtime. End user training scheduled for August 2013 has been changed to November 2013. Budget changes and system delays are reasons that have been given for the delay. Despite the rescheduling, in fact because of the rescheduling, there will be an increased demand on staff time – both for further "Fit Gap" consultation sessions, and for training on the new Social Assistance Management System (SAMS). This will place a strain on the division's ability to continue to provide quality timely service to our clients whilst meeting training requirements and transitioning to the new system. Projected staff time,yet to be spent, on dedicated training prior to SAMS implementation is a staggering 850 hours. Despite the considerable staff time committed to date, quality service to the public has not suffered due to staff commitment and planning.

Brian approached the agency in June 1999 and reported that his wife had been arrested for an assault on a neighbour. The couple had been known to the service for a few years. Following a discussion with Brian it emerged that the couple had been experiencing racial harassment from their neighbours for some time. Social services had been brought in to mediate between the neighbours without success. Both families had brought complaints to the housing association and police about each other. The advice worker immediately wrote to the housing officer at the housing association and it was agreed that independent mediators would be brought in to attempt to resolve the situation. Subsequently, the couple completed a housing transfer application on medical grounds with the help of the advice worker. The racial harassment issue and its impact on health were stressed on the form. In October 1999 the housing transfer application was accepted and the couple are currently awaiting rehousing.
Community-Based Social Economy – Social Capital and Civic Participation in Social Entrepreneurship and Community Development
The Vocational Activation Unit - "Laundry Service Facility" in Wodzisław Śląski is a good example of activating bridging social capital enabling effective action for the professional integration of people with disabilities by using the resources of public institutions at various levels. In this case, the professional service activities of the enterprise, which was founded based on public institutions and funds, gained acceptance and demand from both local entrepreneurs and individual clients - residents. This entity, thanks to both these forms of social capital, sells its services on the open market, providing employment to the inhabitants of the community disadvantaged in terms of employment. At the same time, close cooperation with local non-governmental organizations providing social services allows to create a comprehensive support system for people with intellectual disabilities or suffering from mental disorders. It should be noted that the operation of the "Laundry" on the open market is largely possible only thanks to the continuous financial support from the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, which refunds the remuneration of disabled people employed in the Plant as well as in various forms of their rehabilitation. In this way, the plant operates on the market on preferential terms. It does not change the fact that thanks to cooperation with public institutions, professionalism, and care for the high quality of services rendered, the Plant develops by providing employment to the disabled. Thus, it allows greater social integration of this category of people who are most exposed to social and occupational exclusion, i.e. people with mental and intellectual disabilities.
Department of Neighborhood & Community Services
The Community Interfaith Coordination unit works with houses of worship to provide technical assistance and support to engage them in efforts that strengthen DNCS' ability to address County challenges. The office works to support many different issues and one of the areas of focus is emergency preparedness. In FY 2013 the number of faith communities participating in emergency preparedness planning, response and recovery training decreased, yet a higher percentage of faith communities involved in emergency preparedness have an increased ability to respond. Having approximately 200 faith communities participating in emergency preparedness efforts in FY 2013, the emphasis shifted from recruitment to ensuring those being trained had acquired the knowledge and skills to better incorporate emergency strategies and protocols within their houses of worship and local communities. Through the work of the Community Interfaith Leadership office, 147 or approximately 85 percent of the 173 faith communities that participated in emergency response efforts in the County had a greater capacity to provide an interfaith coordinated response to emergencies if such situations occurred. This is up more than 20 percentage points from FY 2012, which is directly attributed to the shift in focus. Specific outreach efforts for emergency preparedness will be assessed regularly to ensure there is ample emergency preparedness support from the faith community as they also aim to serve Fairfax County residents in a variety of other areas.
Democratic Therapeutic Community in a Network of "Enabling Environments": Transformations of Psychotherapeutic Residential Services in Social Postmodern Crisis
In this perspective, the practice of pharmacological therapeutics for severe mental disorders, as well as the structure of psychiatric care in the NHS, should be read as an attempt to make natural rules and social structures that are actually the result of specific configurations of power. They can therefore be interpreted as resistance to the change in the configurations of power between the parties involved. This can then trigger iatrogenic processes rather than therapeutic ones, acting in conflict with the achievement of an improved state of well-being based on more new thoughts, feelings and interactions. Even the use of antipsychotic drugs is included in the New DTC with the common awareness of their relative long-term efficacy, as all recovery oriented research has now shown (Hegarty et al., 1994 Harrow, et al., 2012).

FRAMEWORK FOR SOCIAL WELFARE SERVICES
Quality assurance refers to activities that are carried out to set standards; it involves a process of verifying or determining whether products or services meet or exceed customer expectations. This can be done through continuous monitoring and corrective actions to ensure that services are as effective and as safe as possible. The quality assurance framework should facilitate the promotion and management of quality social welfare services, which will require the timeous revision of legislation and policies that direct social welfare service delivery. The alignment of strategic plans with the policy and legislative framework and environmental assessments will enhance the relevance and appropriateness of social welfare services. This framework should describe the norms and standards for such services and define the indicators to be used for the monitoring and evaluation of service delivery.

Many people experience the worst life has to offer. Sometimes, the pain is the result of illness or accident, but at times it is intentionally inflicted by other people.
Debbie grew up in a Christian home, and shortly after high school, met Kyle, a young man who attended the same church. After dating for a year, Kyle asked her to marry him, and she said "yes," expecting to live happily ever after.
A few months after the wedding, however, Debbie was still on cloud nine when something went terribly wrong. When she got home from work one day, she found out he'd been drinking, and in a rage, he hit her. Horrified, she called their pastor, who provided counseling for several weeks. Things seemed to be getting better, until one night Kyle put a loaded gun to her head. In a panic, Debbie managed to escape. Even though her grandmother lived several miles away, Debbie somehow found the strength to run all the way. She survived, but something inside had broken, making it hard to trust anyone. She left Kyle and abandoned her faith in Christ.
Every one of us is broken in some way. We might look fine on the outside, but inside we're hurting. If we're to find healing or any positive result from the pain, it might be helpful to take a look at Job, James, and Jesus to see how we can respond in painful circumstances.
Even though he did everything right, Job suffered terrible business losses, extreme physical pain, and undeserved accusations from his friends. His wife also lost everything, and chose to let go of hope and faith, suggesting that he do the same. Instead, Job turned to the Lord, and began to understand more fully his own weakness and need for God. These are important lessons that sometimes have to be learned the hard way. We have a tendency to be self-sufficient, unaware of our desperate need for God. In his darkest moments, Job chose to turn toward the Lord, and so can we.
The second possibility for meaning in our pain is character growth. James 1:2-4 tells us to remain joyful when we endure tests and trials, because they will help us mature. It is true that pain can break us, but it also has a way of strengthening us and deepening us. The difference is how we respond to the crisis and to the work of the Holy Spirit.
A third potential benefit of tribulation is that it can help us develop compassion for others. When Jesus looked at the crowds, he saw their need and was moved to compassion. He cared about people and saw their hurts. He felt their need, and acted. He fed them, healed them, taught them, loved them. The Apostle Paul picks up this theme in 2 Corinthians 1:4 when he says the Lord comforts us in our troubles so that we can comfort others.
Some people respond to pain by becoming hardened, bitter, or angry. Others are jealous of those who seem to have everything going right. If we want to grow in Christ and enjoy life to its fullest, however, we can't afford to let either of those happen. Instead, we can turn to the Lord, mature as human beings, and develop a sense of compassion for others.
That's what the Lord is saying to us in Matthew 11:28. "Come to me, you who are tired, carrying a heavy load, and I will give you rest." Rest from pain, and rest from wrong.

'NJWeedman' wants to get arrested. Police say no, lawmakers still working on legal weed
James Nash
Some marijuana activists go to the New Jersey Statehouse to try to pass a legalization bill. Ed Forchion went there to get arrested.
Forchion, better known as NJWeedman, sold and smoked marijuana outside the statehouse and blew smoke at state troopers outside Gov. Phil Murphy's office, his latest publicity stunt in nearly two decades of trying to lift New Jersey's ban on the drug.
With police just feet away, Forchion sold marijuana to about 10 people outside the seat of state government. Inside the building, lawmakers did not act on legislation to allow adults to use marijuana without medical conditions, and Senate President Stephen Sweeney conceded that lawmakers would not meet his September deadline to pass a bill.
"Hey buddy, we're selling weed out here!" Forchion called out to a man walking outside the statehouse. "Twenty bucks!"
In front of Murphy's office, Forchion lit up a joint as a state trooper watched him. The trooper did not arrest or cite Forchion, but rousted the activist and about a dozen others in his entourage from outside the governor's office to a spot down the street. Forchion wore an orange "Mercer County Correctional Center" jumpsuit.

Forchion practically dared the troopers to arrest him, while others in his entourage urged him to comply with orders. Forchion has been free for just four months after more than a year in prison for a case that stemmed from an investigation of his Trenton restaurant, NJWeedman's Joint, that police suspected as a hub for drug sales. Prosecutors charged Forchion with witness tampering for alleged threats he made against a confidential informant who had helped police.
The four troopers who intercepted Forchion and his entourage outside the statehouse refused to arrest him, with one saying they would not play along in a publicity stunt. Instead, they asked him to take his weed sales off state property.
In an interview as he walked toward Murphy's office, Forchion said he was trying to draw attention to racial disparities in marijuana arrests under New Jersey's current marijuana ban, as well as what he called continued preferential treatment for white entrepreneurs in the latest bill to legalize weed. The bill would restrict marijuana sales to businesses that are licensed and taxed by the state. It would not allow people to grow their own drug.
"No home-grow, it's a no-go!" Forchion said. "We have to give that message to the governor."
Later in the afternoon, the state Senate passed a bill to allow farming of industrial hemp, a plant related to marijuana but without the psychoactive properties. As votes were tallied for the bill, Sen. Nicholas Scutari, the sponsor of legislation to legalize the kind of marijuana that Forchion smokes, joked to colleagues: "That's the marijuana bill!"
It wasn't. But Sweeney told reporters after the session that the bill was coming, for real, in October. Lawmakers have missed several informal deadlines to pass a legalization measure, including Sweeney's vow to pass a bill by the end of September.
Sweeney said there are just two sticking points left to pass a bill that Murphy will sign. He wouldn't specify the issues, but pro-marijuana advocates say a dispute over the tax rate is one.
"I think we'll be voting -- I know we'll be voting -- on the 29th," Sweeney said. He meant October.
