Users may wish to measure the flow of steam to help with plant efficiency, energy efficiency, process control or costing purposes. This tutorial considers the characteristics of flowing fluids and the basic requirements for good steam metering practice.
'When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind'.
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) 1824 - 1907
Many industrial and commercial businesses have now recognised the value of:
Energy cost accounting.
Energy conservation.
Monitoring and targeting techniques.
These tools enable greater energy efficiency.
Steam is not the easiest media to measure. The objective of this Block is to achieve a greater understanding of the requirements to enable the accurate and reliable measurement of steam flowrate.
Most flowmeters currently available to measure the flow of steam have been designed for measuring the flow of various liquids and gases. Very few have been developed specifically for measuring the flow of steam.
Spirax Sarco wishes to thank the EEBPP (Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme) of ETSU for contributing to some parts of this Block..
Fundamentals and basic data of Fluid and Flow
Why measure steam?
Steam flowmeters cannot be evaluated in the same way as other items of energy saving equipment or energy saving schemes. The steam flowmeter is an essential tool for good steam housekeeping. It provides the knowledge of steam usage and cost which is vital to an efficiently operated plant or building. The main benefits for using steam flowmetering include:
Plant efficiency.
Energy efficiency.
Process control.
Costing and custody.
A good steam flowmeter will indicate the flowrate of steam to a plant item over the full range of its operation, i.e. from when machinery is switched off to when plant is loaded to capacity. By analysing the relationship between steam flow and production, optimum working practices can be determined.
The flowmeter will also show the deterioration of plant over time, allowing optimum plant cleaning or replacement to be carried out.
The flowmeter may also be used to:
Track steam demand and changing trends
Establish peak steam usage times
Identify sections or items of plant that are major steam users
This may lead to changes in production methods to ensure economical steam usage. It can also reduce problems associated with peak loads on the boiler plant.
Steam flowmeters can be used to monitor the results of energy saving schemes and to compare the efficiency of one piece of plant with another.
The output signal from a proper steam flowmetering system can be used to control the quantity of steam being supplied to a process, and indicate that it is at the correct temperature and pressure.
Also, by monitoring the rate of increase of flow at start-up, a steam flowmeter can be used in conjunction with a control valve to provide a slow warm-up function.
Costing and custody
Steam flowmeters can measure steam usage (and thus steam cost) either centrally or at individual user points. Steam can be costed as a raw material at various stages of the production process thus allowing the true cost of individual product lines to be calculated.
To understand flowmetering, it might be useful to delve into some basic theory on fluid mechanics, the characteristics of the fluid to be metered, and the way in which it travels through pipework systems.
Fluid characteristics
Every fluid has a unique set of characteristics, including:
Density.
Dynamic viscosity
Kinematic viscosity.
This has already been discussed in Block 2, Steam Engineering Principles and Heat Transfer, however, because of its importance, relevant points are repeated here.
Density (ρ) defines the mass (m) per unit volume (V) of a substance (see Equation 2.1.2).
The density of both saturated water and saturated steam vary with temperature. This is illustrated in Figure 4.1.1.
This is the internal property that a fluid possesses which resists flow. If a fluid has a high viscosity (e.g. heavy oil) it strongly resists flow. Also, a highly viscous fluid will require more energy to push it through a pipe than a fluid with a low viscosity.
There are a number of ways of measuring viscosity, including attaching a torque wrench to a paddle and twisting it in the fluid, or measuring how quickly a fluid pours through an orifice.
A simple school laboratory experiment clearly demonstrates viscosity and the units used:
A sphere is allowed to fall through a fluid under the influence of gravity. The measurement of the distance (d) through which the sphere falls, and the time (t) taken to fall, are used to determine the velocity (u).
The following equation is then used to determine the dynamic viscosity:
There are three important notes to make:
1. The result of Equation 4.1.1 is termed the absolute or dynamic viscosity of the fluid and is measured in pascal seconds. Dynamic viscosity is also expressed as 'viscous force.'
2. The physical elements of the equation give a resultant in kg/m, however, the constants (2 and 9) take into account both experimental data and the conversion of units to pascal seconds (Pa s).
3. Some publications give values for absolute viscosity or dynamic viscosity in centipoise (cP), e.g.: 1 cP = 10-3 Pa s
Example 4.1.1
It takes 0.7 seconds for a 20mm diameter steel (density 7 800 kg/m3) ball to fall 1 metre through oil at 20°C (density = 920 kg/m3).
This expresses the relationship between absolute (or dynamic) viscosity and the density of the fluid (see Equation 4.1.2).
In Example 4.1.1, the density of the oil is given to be 920 kg/m3 - Now determine the kinematic viscosity:
Reynolds number (Re)
The factors introduced above all have an effect on fluid flow in pipes. They are all drawn together in one dimensionless quantity to express the characteristics of flow, i.e. the Reynolds number (Re).
Analysis of the equation will show that all the units cancel, and Reynolds number (Re) is therefore dimensionless.
Evaluating the Reynolds relationship:
• For a particular fluid, if the velocity is low, the resultant Reynolds number is low
• If another fluid with a similar density, but with a higher dynamic viscosity is transported through the same pipe at the same velocity, the Reynolds number is reduced
• For a given system where the pipe size, the dynamic viscosity (and by implication, temperature) remain constant, the Reynolds number is directly proportional to velocity
The fluid used in Examples 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 is pumped at 20 m/s through a 100 mm bore pipe.
From looking at the above Reynolds number it can be seen that the flow is in the laminar region (see Figure 4.1.7).
Flow regimes
If the effects of viscosity and pipe friction are ignored, a fluid would travel through a pipe in a uniform velocity across the diameter of the pipe. The 'velocity profile' would appear as shown in Figure 4.1.3:
However, this is very much an ideal case and, in practice, viscosity affects the flowrate of the fluid and works together with the pipe friction to further decrease the flowrate of the fluid near the pipe wall. This is clearly illustrated in Figure 4.1.4:
At low Reynolds numbers (2 300 and below) flow is termed 'laminar', that is, all motion occurs along the axis of the pipe. Under these conditions the friction of the fluid against the pipe wall means that the highest fluid velocity will occur at the centre of the pipe (see Figure 4.1.5).
As the velocity increases, and the Reynolds number exceeds 2 300, the flow becomes increasingly turbulent with more and more eddy currents, until at Reynolds number 10 000 the flow is completely turbulent (see Figure 4.1.6).
Saturated steam, in common with most fluids, is transported through pipes in the 'turbulent flow' region.
The examples shown in Figures 4.1.3 to 4.1.7 are useful in that they provide an understanding of fluid characteristics within pipes; however, the objective of the Steam and Condensate Loop Book is to provide specific information regarding saturated steam and water (or condensate).
Whilst these are two phases of the same fluid, their characteristics are entirely different. This has been demonstrated in the above Sections regarding Absolute Viscosity and Density. The following information, therefore, is specifically relevant to saturated steam systems.
A 100 mm pipework system transports saturated steam at 10 bar g at an average velocity of 25 m/s.
Determine the Reynolds number. The following data is available from comprehensive steam tables:
• If the Reynolds number (Re) in a saturated steam system is less than 10 000 (104) the flow may be laminar or transitional.
Under laminar flow conditions, the pressure drop is directly proportional to flowrate.
• If the Reynolds number (Re) is greater than 10 000 (104) the flow regime is turbulent.
Under these conditions the pressure drop is proportional to the square root of the flow.
• For accurate steam flowmetering, consistent conditions are essential, and for saturated steam systems it is usual to specify the minimum Reynolds number (Re) as 1 x 105 = 100 000.
• At the opposite end of the scale, when the Reynolds number (Re) exceeds 1 x 106, the head losses due to friction within the pipework become significant, and this is specified as the maximum.
Based on the information given above, determine the maximum and minimum flowrates for turbulent flow with saturated steam at 10 bar g in a 100 mm bore pipeline.
Returning to Example 4.1.5, and inserting values into Equation 4.1.6:
• The mass flow of saturated steam through pipes is a function of density, viscosity and velocity.
• For accurate steam flowmetering, the pipe size selected should result in Reynolds numbers of between 1 x 105 and 1 x 106 at minimum and maximum conditions respectively.
• Since viscosity, etc., are fixed values for any one condition being considered, the correct Reynolds number is achieved by careful selection of the pipe size.
• If the Reynolds number increases by a factor of 10 (1 x 105 becomes 1 x 106), then so does the velocity (e.g. 2.695 m/s becomes 26.95 m/s respectively), providing pressure, density and viscosity remain constant.

Hallman Farms Wildlife Nursery has the solution for the outdoorsman who wants to bring home the Trophy. Our varieties of trees grow rapidly and quickly produce tasty treats that wildlife cannot resist. Benny Hallman, along with his wife Janice, son Kenny, daughter Deena, and son-in-law, Hannon Bedenbaugh founded Hallman Farms Wildlife Nursery.
Benny holds a Master of horticulture degree from Clemson University. He began his career with the Clemson University Extension Service, performing soil and leaf analyses on South Carolina's peach crops. An interest in grafting resulted in Benny becoming proficient at propagating fruit trees.
Grafting and budding (a type of grafting) are a form of asexual reproduction that produces a tree exactly like the parent tree. These methods are used on hybrid trees, which include both pears and apples. Seeds from these trees have genetic variability which will produce trees with different characteristics than the parent trees. Grafting produces a clone of the parent tree. For example, one of our signature deer pear trees, 'Trophy,' is budded onto a root stock that is vigorous and able to withstand a wide variety of soil conditions. 'Trophy' produces extremely heavy crops, and begins producing fruit at an early age that ripens and starts to fall in early months of deer season. Another signature variety, 'GioVan,' produces a very heavy crop that ripens and falls toward the end of deer season. This fruit will be falling long after most acorns are gone, making this tree and the 'Doc's Special' (another later producing variety) a great attractant for deer. The 'Lo Country' drops fruit in August, which works well in regions that have an early hunting season.
Our staff combines many years of experience as both growers and hunters. We can give expert recommendations on what we have seen work in the field. We will continue to be developing new varieties of pears and apples whenever trees with superior characteristics are located.
Although our signature trees have been no secret, they have previously been available to hunters through Edward Fort Nurseries. We will continue to carry these products, just straight from the field and grower. Our entire family looks forward to serving you with your hunting needs.

WATCH LIVE: Penguins host Maple Leafs on NBCSN
By Sean LeahyFeb 18, 2020, 6:00 PM EST
NBCSN's coverage of the 2019-20 NHL season continues with Tuesday's matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto Maple Leafs. Coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here.
The Penguins come into this game having won five of their last seven games (5-1-1) and have closed in on the division leading Capitals. Pittsburgh trailed Washington by 13 points entering play on Dec. 12, 2019, but have gone 19-5-2 (40 points) in 26 games since then to close the gap to just one point.
The Penguins have earned at least one point in each of their last six games at PPG Paints Arena (5-0-1) and recorded their 21st home win of the season overall – matching the Bruins for the most home wins in the NHL.
Jason Zucker, who was acquired on Feb. 10 from the Wild for Alex Galchenyuk, prospect Calen Addison and a conditional first-round pick, has three points in three games for the Penguins and has been skating on the top line with Sidney Crosby. He tallied his first multi-goal game of the season in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens, and then added an assist in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
The Leafs enter this game having lost five of their last eight games (3-4-1). Toronto is coming off a 5-2 loss at Buffalo on Sunday night where they gave up three goals in the span of 91 seconds in the third period after the score was even at 2-2. Toronto sits in third place in the Atlantic, but the fourth place Panthers are just two points back with one game in hand.
Leafs star forward Auston Matthews is currently tied with Boston's David Pastrnak for the league lead with 42 goals this season, and his 42 tallies have already set a career high. The Leafs star has done the majority of his damage on
home ice with 30 goals in 30 games any Scotiabank Arena.

Q: msys / mingw command line requires or rejects exe extension based on whether stdout is redirected with ConEmu console The underlying cause of this problem is described elsewhere, with partial workarounds provided.
For example: stdout is not a tty and stdin is not a tty
An example of a command line I'm having problems with in MSYS2 or MINGW64 environments is this:
# psql -c '\d' | grep public
stdout is not a tty

Here's the output, if issued without piping to grep:
# psql -c '\d'
               List of relations
 Schema |      Name      |   Type   |  Owner
--------+----------------+----------+----------
 public | tagname        | table    | postgres
 public | tagname_id_seq | sequence | postgres
(2 rows)

In order to redirect stdout, it's apparently necessary to edit the command line, changing psql to psql.exe.   This modification does the trick:
# psql.exe -c '\d' | grep public
 public | tagname        | table    | postgres
 public | tagname_id_seq | sequence | postgres

This version works, whether or not stdout is redirected:
# psql.exe -c '\d'
               List of relations
 Schema |      Name      |   Type   |  Owner
--------+----------------+----------+----------
 public | tagname        | table    | postgres
 public | tagname_id_seq | sequence | postgres
(2 rows)

Note that the problem only exists for some programs.  For example, /usr/bin/find is indifferent to whether the .exe extension is specified.  Also, the cygwin version of psql.exe does not suffer from this limitation.
The workaround of appending .exe could be hidden with an alias if you could always call psql as psql.exe, but there are problems with interactive sessions when called with the extension. (in ConEmu terminal under MSYS_NT-10.0-19042, for example)
So my question is this: is it possible to create a wrapper program (for example, in golang or C, or a shell script) to hide this problem?  The goal would be to support optionally redirectable command lines without requiring the .exe extension.
Assuming the wrapper is named "fixtty", it would spawn a command line that could be redirected or not.   In other words, neither of these command lines would fail with an error message:
# fixtty psql -c '\d'
# fixtty psql -c '\d' | grep public

A: A wrapper script (call it fixtty) that hides the problem:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -t 1 ]; then
  # stdout is a terminal
  "$@"
else
  # stdout is a file or pipe
  PROG=$1 ; shift
  set -- "$PROG.exe" "$@" # append .exe suffix
  "$@"
fi

Usage:
$ fixtty psql -c '\d'                 # unfiltered `stdout`
$ fixtty psql -c '\d' | grep public   # filtered
$ fixtty psql                         # launch interactive session

To save KHPP from damage, 9,000 cusec (cubic feet per second) water is released from the lake through 16 spill ways of the power plant, said KHPP sources. KHPP is now at its highest operation. On Wednesday, all the five generators of the plant were in full operation and it produced 190mw power, where its highest level of production is 230mw per day. "Following downpour in the hilly areas of Rangamati district in last few days, the water level of Kaptai Lake increased two feet," said Md Abdur Rahman, director of KHPP. The director said: "To reduce heavy pressure of water on KHPP, we have to open all 16 gates of it and continued operating all five units of the plant KHPP to save it from damage." In the meantime, several areas of the district including Belaichhari upazila, Juraichhari upazila, Langadu upazila and several parts of Rangamati town were inundated as the water level has increased. Beside, lower parts of Chittagong district have submerged after KHPP opened all its gates partially to save it from any kind of scratch.

Who were the players to have the biggest impact in their first year at their club? Bozza gives us his Top Five.
With the Grand Final played and won, the long dark no football months of summer lie in wait for us. In an effort to bring some light to this miserable time, The Pinch Hitters intend to take a look back at the season that was and celebrate the great moments of season 2018. Today we shine a spotlight on the recruits who set the football world alight in their first season in their new clubs colours. Lets count down the Top Five.
The Bombers acquisition of Dylan Shiel this off-season should have come as no surprise given the returns they realised in 2018 after their raids of the expansion club at the end of 2017. Adam Saad slipped effortlessly into Essendon's half back line and became an explosive weapon in the Bombers high octane style of play. His run, carry and daring set the Bomber crowds alight and saw him claim a fourth place finish in the club's Best & Fairest.
It was a debut season to remember for Jaidyn Stephenson. Drafted with the sixth pick in the draft by Collingwood, he played all 25 games in the clubs Grand Final charge and became their first ever winner of the AFL Rising Star Award. Quickly becoming a vital part of the Magpies fleet of small forwards he kicked 38 goals, the most by a teenager since Chris Grant in 1990, including two on Grand Final Day.
Having been overlooked in the draft for five years in a row, Tim Kelly played like a man with a point to prove after being drafted by the Cats at his sixth attempt. Quickly cementing his place in Geelong's star studded midfield, the 24 year old averaged 23-disposals a game and would finish the year adjudged the AFLPA's Best First Year Player and tied for second with Patrick Dangerfield in the club's best and fairest.
Smith was the perfect acquisition for the Bombers in 2018, with his relentless pressure (he led the competition for tackling with 186) bringing a new dimension to the side. Playing through midfield and half-forward, Smith hit career-highs for average disposals, contested possessions, tackles, and clearances as he was clearly the Bombers best player in 2018. His decision to trade Sydney's West for Tullamarine rewarded with the Crichton Medal as Essendon's Best & Fairest.
While the sight of Luke Hodge in anything other than Brown & Gold took a little getting used to for the rest of us, the foresight of the Brisbane Lions to imagine him providing leadership for their team has been rewarded in spades. The impact the four time premiership winner has had on the club being far greater than the sum of his statistics on game day.
With a list packed with young and exciting talent, the Lions needed an experienced head to fast track their development. While his impact wasn't felt on the win loss register, it was clear in the way the team went about their footy. If you are looking for a team to make a sharp rise from the mire of the bottom four, Brisbane may well be it and Luke Hodge will be a large reason for the climb.

AFL Round Four – What We Are Looking Forward to Sunday.


Linley Boniface speaks particularly well about the referendum in yesterday's Afternoons with Jim Mora on Radio New Zealand.
Calling it the "anti-smacking legislation" is wrong – the purpose of the legislation is to protect children from being beaten up by their parents. It's aimed at changing the culture of violence against our children that we clearly have in NZ.
$10m is being wasted on the upcoming referendum on a ridiculously worded question. We've had the debate already, and the Child Discipline Law was passed by a margin of 113-8.
The legislation anticipated an education programme that never occurred. The $10m being spent on the referendum would have much better been spent on the education programme.
The real referendum question should have been, "Should we be able to beat our children with a horse whip or a piece of wood and get away with it in court", as happened before this legislation was passed.
The critical role of parents and caregivers in the physical development of children's brains has been highlighted in a report released by the Families Commission today.
Healthy Families, Young Minds and Developing Brains vividly demonstrates how a child's experience of love, pleasure and security – or the lack of these – has a major impact on issues as diverse as family violence, crime, social and educational success and mental health.
Prepared by Charles and Kasia Waldegrave for the Commission, the study identifies factors that enable children to reach their full potential, or prevent them from doing so. It demonstrates that the environment children experience in their early years impacts on their young minds which, in turn, affects how well they pick up everything from language and writing to important social and moral skills such as knowing how to control their emotions and desires. They might also fail to develop empathy for others, the skill needed to understand that some actions harm other people.
Chief Families Commissioner Dr Jan Pryor says the study shows how important it is for governments and society to value parenting and create environments that support strong, resilient, loving families and whanau within which to raise children.
The paper also discusses how the experiences of the early years impact on society, Dr Pryor says.
The Families Commission will use the study to develop advice it is preparing for the Government on the importance of early intervention, what types of intervention are needed, what works best, and where government and community family services can best target their money and efforts for best effect. The study will also contribute to the Commission's work for easy access by parents to parenting support information, early childhood education and childcare.


The German DAX stock index has increased significantly today. The DAX is trading at 11.639, having gained 1.48%. Overall this week, the DAX gained 3.2%. The DAX has rebounded with gains at the start of November, after it lost 6.7% in October. Last month, the DAX showed its worst monthly performance since December 2016.
German stocks rose sharply on Friday, hoping for a US-China trade deal after President Donald Trump said he had a "long and very good" conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping on trade and North Korea, and that the two planned to meet at the upcoming G-20 summit.
German manufacturing activity slowed for a third straight month in October. The Germany's Manufacturing PMI dipped to 52.2 in October, down from 53.7 points in September. The indicator showed the lowest level since May 2016.

Allen Stanford, jailed for fraud in ECB case, speaks out
Jan 12, 2016 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Convicted fraudster Allen Stanford has spoken for the first time since 2009, when he was indicted for the second-largest investment scam in US history. In 2008, the Texas tycoon inked a multimillion dollar deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for a series of T20 matches in the Caribbean. But the ECB would end up embarrassed the following year, when Stanford was charged with fraud worth 8 billion dollars. He told the BBC in an interview that he's sorry about the damage done to English cricket, but the real fault lies in what he called an "overzealous" prosecution. Stanford was speaking from a Florida prison where he's been serving a sentence of 110 years since being convicted in 2012.

In July, U.S. and Chinese nuclear scientists converged on a Chinese-built Miniature Neutron Source Reactor in Accra, Ghana, to remove its bomb-grade uranium.
China, the United States, and the International Atomic Energy Agency have spent years quietly planning the operation, which would eliminate the risk of terrorists seizing fissile material in a region threatened by Boko Haram and other militant groups.
China has produced nine miniature reactors, which are used for basic studies on how neutrons behave in nuclear reactors and to train budding nuclear engineers. It sold five reactors to Ghana, Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan and Iran.
The Ghana operation—the first such conversion attempted abroad—featured the removal of the highly enriched uranium core. Journalist Richard Stone reports for Science on the high-security undertaking to spirit it onto a plane back to China.

Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Marksmanship Unit Repeats as SASP National Champions
Ammoland Inc. Posted on March 28, 2017 by Ammoland Editor Joe Evans
Texas A&M 2017 Championship Winners
Scholastic Action Shooting Program
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -(Ammoland.com)- On Saturday, March 11, 2017 at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park in Talladega, AL., the CCMU Maroon Centerfire Team, firing Glock 34's and Freedom Munitions ammunition, won the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) 2017 National Collegiate Championship.
The cadets from Texas A&M have now won this event in three of the last four years. The CCMU Centerfire Maroon team won the event and the national title, while the two other CCMU centerfire teams finished in 2nd and 4th place overall (an SASP team is a four person squad, the team score for the competition is the total time of the four individuals on the squad.)
Third place in the match was won by one of the two squads attending from the United States Military Academy at West Point (USMA).
The cadets of the CCMU also swept the centerfire individual awards for the match: High Overall Centerfire Shooter and High Lady in Centerfire.
The top two individual Centerfire Award scores in the match were fired by CCMU cadets led by sophomore cadet Kyle Post '19 with a score of 44.55 seconds.
Cadet Post returns to his place at the top of the Collegiate Nationals after firing the top Rimfire score in 2016, and he has secured the High Overall Centerfire trophy for the CCMU for the second straight year.
Texas A&M Competition Shooter
The High Lady trophy in Centerfire went to sophomore Cadet Savannah Butters '19 with a time of 60.60 seconds. Cadet Butters is no stranger to winning at national championship level matches as she was the 2016 High Lady in Rimfire at this match a year ago.
Notably Cadet Butters was firing the Walther Q5 Match pistol, a version of Walther's incredibly popular PPQ series. Walther is a new and valuable sponsor of the CCMU and their pistols have performed exceptionally well in the hands of male and female CCMU cadets.
The CCMU Rimfire team also finished in 3rd place overall in only their second match of this type. The CCMU Rimfire team was composed entirely of freshman cadets and they performed extremely well in a crowded field of experienced shooters.
CCMU cadets fired seven individual scores below the once mythical 50 second mark…it was only four years ago that a Centerfire shooter first broke that mark.
The Maroon Centerfire Team members all fired a match score below 50 seconds:
Cadet John Burton '17 48.81 seconds
Cadet Nicholas Mrak '18 47.30
Cadet Kyle Post '19 44.55
Cadet Wade Ledbetter '19 46.22
The CCMU's White Centerfire Team finished 2nd overall at the match narrowly defeating the top team from United States Military Academy:
Cadet Peter Miller '17 46.27 seconds
Cadet Sam Slichter '19 56.72
Cadet Christopfer "Kit" Hoog '19 49.87
Cadet Steven Bartlett '19 46.45
The CCMU Maroon Rimfire Team finished 3rd overall in Rimfire Division:
Cadet Andrew Marko '20 53.26 seconds
Cadet Harris Kruse '20 59.86
Cadet Grant Grabowski '20 58.61
Cadet John Gossett '19 57.52
CCMU Coach Kevin Jimmerson commented, "It is a great honor for me to lead this team as their Coach. I can't express how proud I am of this team and the way they have responded to their challenges this year. In terms of experience in big matches, and the pressure they put on you as a shooter, this is the least experienced group of cadets I have brought to this match in four years. We only had two senior and two junior cadets at this match…and two of our best shooters were not able to attend. That put tremendous pressure on the cadets at the match to perform…and they stepped up!"
Coach Jimmerson added, "Our team leadership at all levels has worked very hard to prepare the team for this years matches. The professional leadership skills they learn as cadets in our Corps have never been more evident, and more important, than they have been this year. My cadets are dedicated to each other and to Excellence. They never lose sight of the fact that we win and lose together as a team and they always focus on the serious elements of what we do, while still having fun as we work at it."
Ed Fitzgerald, SSSF Board Vice-Chairman and Advertising Manager of GLOCK, USA stated: "GLOCK is a strong proponent of Title IX sports clubs at the collegiate level. These programs allow students the opportunity to continue to enhance their shooting skills while also receiving a life skills education. They allow students who might never have the opportunity to shoot and compete to be part of a safe and fun skill development program that is gender neutral. Texas A&M's CCMU has again demonstrated its dominance in the sport through a dedicated practice of excellence. We appreciate all the wonderful Colleges and Universities that have endorsed SASP and fielded teams for competition."
The CCMU trains and competes in action shooting sports with other college teams, against active duty military and law enforcement and at 3Gun matches around the country, but it also works to grow participation in the shooting sports at all ages and among both men and women.
The CCMU is very grateful to its industry sponsors for their support of this team and its activities both on and off the range.
Texas A&M Competition Shooters
The cadets of the CCMU want to recognize all of the companies large and small who graciously sponsor the team for their continued support and also the team's primary equipment sponsors that aided in this win: Freedom Munitions, Glock, Walther, Kryptek, TRUGLO, MagPul, Apex Tactical, Vista Outdoor, Safariland, TSRA Foundation and S3F Solutions for the cutting edge gear and support they provide, and the Texas A&M TEEX and the Willow Hole Cowboys for the use of their range facilities. Please take a moment to visit the Sponsor page on the CCMU web page and thank these businesses for their support of our future officers.
The CCMU was officially formed in December of 2011, but today's squad represents the latest in over 100 years of history of marksmanship teams competing for the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. The CCMU fields competitors in the action pistol sports, steel pistol sports, 3Gun and international clay sports.
Team members are drawn exclusively from the 2,700 men and women of the Corps of Cadets who are all undergraduates at Texas A&M. Scholarships and in-state tuition are also available for CCMU cadets.
The cadets of the CCMU are supported and funded through the Office of the Commandant of the Corps of Cadets, and the generous efforts of the Corps of Cadets Association, a private non-profit group committed to sustaining the 140 year old traditions of the Cadet Corps at Texas A&M. Please contact them to make a tax deductible donation on the teams behalf.

If you are interested in a device that could save your life, then you will want to find the perfect stun gun for you.
There are so many women today that want to get a stun gun to protect them. Crime is going up and it is better to be safe than sorry. Many women do not want to carry a loaded gun so this is where their stun gun comes into play.
A stun gun can save your life. It will take the place of a real gun that could cause permanent damage to someone.
When you think about it the stun gun is going to be safe when you are using it the right way. You will find that there are some concerns over the stun gun but it is important to get the right training on them first.
The main focus of the stun gun is going to be women. Women do not have to be afraid to go out after dark or walk to their car alone anymore. With a stun gun, they will have the protection they deserve.
Stun guns are not lethal and perfect for women. They are small and very discreet and will usually look like a flashlight or cell phone to the average person.
There are some stun guns that are higher powered than others. Some will give of a million volts per shock. When the stun gun is used against an attacker the right way, it can really come down to saving and innocent woman's life.
It is a good idea to take a course on how to use the stun gun that you purchased. There are some police stations that will give courses to anyone owning a stun gun so that it is used the correct way on an attacker.

This Custom Retro LS 5.3L-Powered Chevy Camper From SEMA Could Be Yours
Published by Tim Huber
It was roughly half-a-century-ago that campers and conversions experienced a marked influx in popularity, with a growing number of outfits turning their attention towards modifying, outfitting, and converting these mobile dwellings. And while we've seen plenty of beautifully-executed customized campers in our time, we've never come across anything quite like "Brown Sugar" from Davenport, Iowa's River City Rods & Fabrication.
The elaborate build started out as a 1983 Chevrolet C30 Camper that would be displayed at the 2019 SEMA Show, with the main idea behind the project being to try and deliver a show vehicle that could hold its own against the crowd of builds born out of half-million-dollar budgets that lined the floors at SEMA — a feat the team accomplished in spades. The Chevy now rides on a complete air ride suspension — with a heavy-duty Watts Link rear end — that has been brought down so low that when the suspension is lowered, the front cross-member actually comes to rest on the tarmac. Powered by a brand new LS 5.3L iron block V8, the build boasts an enormous amount of upgrades and custom work, including new wheels, bodywork, and a wildly-involved livery. The fully-customized and well-appointed interior of the vehicle is equally bonkers, too. With SEMA in the rearview mirror, this incredibly unique ride is now on offer from Grand Rapids Classics for $179,990.

Quiz expects £400,000 hit from House of Fraser
Despite the hit, Quiz reported healthy growht and announced plans to add further stores. Picture: Quiz
HANNAH BURLEY
Published: 12:18 Wednesday 05 September 2018
Fashion retailer Quiz has warned it will take a £400,000 hit following the collapse of House of Fraser, but said it was performing well and confident of continued growth this year.
The Glasgow-based clothing company, which historically operated 11 House of Fraser concessions and sold its products through the chain's website, announced that the department store's fall into administration, and subsequent takeover by Mike Ashley's Sports Direct, had resulted in outstanding debtor balances and other costs.
In a stock market trading update, the firm said: "Further to House of Fraser's entry into administration and the selective acquisition of assets by Sports Direct International plc, the group is expecting to provide £400,000 in the six months to 30 September 2018 in relation to outstanding debtor balances and other potential costs."
Sports Direct's acquisition of House of Fraser for £90 million resulted in a host of the retailer's suppliers and partners being left out of pocket.
However, Quiz, which floated on the Alternative Investment Market in July 2017, announced it had performed well over the summer and is seeking to add further stores to its portfolio, following two successful additions this year.
It said: "The board is pleased with the group's performance during the period which shows continued growth across each of our channels.
"Our UK stores and concessions have performed well during the year-to-date, despite the previously reported softening of footfall during April.
"We have opened two new standalone stores during the period and we continue to review opportunities for further expansion of the store estate."
Quiz said it was on track to deliver market expectations for the full year, adding a key focus was maximising the brand's online potential by investing in the ongoing development of websites and apps.
Nick Bubb, independent retailing analyst, said: "Despite Footasylum's moaning about the challenging state of the High Street, the fashion chain Quiz has issued a reassuring AGM trading update.
"The new stores in Bluewater and Oxford have started well and the only black spot is that Quiz has had to write-off £400,000 on its House of Fraser concession business."
Results released in April showed Quiz sales rose by 30 per cent in the year to the end of March, driven mainly by online growth, which jumped by just under 160 per cent.
Quiz will provide its next trading update in October.

Short and sweat, if you don't have a retirement savings plan in place, strongly consider your options on how to get started. Coming from someone who works for a major Financial Advisory company, I have learned a few things over the years, and this being one of them. It is forced savings.
The benefit to you… your money will grow/compound tax-deferred. ie: you do not pay taxes on the money going into your IRA and defer your taxes until you withdrawal the money on the back-end (or retirement). This means you decrease your taxable earnings/salary in the beginning and the IRA savings grows tax-deferred.
If you had contributed $100/month for 30 years to a tax-deferred IRA, then paid 25% tax on your withdrawals at retirement, you would net approximately $113k (8% assumed average annual rate of return). However, in an account that's taxed annually at 25%, your total would have been only $101k — almost $12k less just because you had to pay taxes up front.
Currently, an individual can contribute $4k to an IRA annually which will remain at $4k through 2007. In 2008 the limit will increase to $5k per year.
Whether you are 20 years of age or 60, it is not too late or too early to think about retirement. Contact a local Financial Advisor to get more details on your options on protecting yourself and planning for retirement. Those who begin to think about retirement early, are the happiest when their retirement goals are realized earlier than those who did not actively plan for their retirement. Don't get caught in working two jobs when you are 60, that is the time when you should be enjoying life at its fullest.

Frankenmuth's biggest stories of 2018
Local News Featured Articles Rotating Features Frankenmuth
By admin / December 29, 2018
FRANKENMUTH – This year, Michigan's Little Bavaria experienced some needed improvements – such as a new Cheese Haus – saw the rise of four hometown musicians who rocked the music world, and watched a former track star win a silver medal in Winter Olympics.
Here is a recap of some Frankenmuth-related stories highlighted by The Advertiser in 2018.
Cheese Haus celebrates grand opening
Part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Frankenmuth Cheese Haus was the construction of its new location, which opened in August.
"Our big thing is the experience," Martha Zehnder Kaczynski, vice president and fourth-generation owner of the Bavarian Inn, said prior to the grand opening in November. "This isn't a grocery store. You can see the cheese being made in the back of the store and we enjoy providing a variety of great cheese selections for our guests."
To accommodate more visitors, the Cheese Haus launched an expansion project earlier this year from its former 2,700-square-foot building to its new location.
The store offers more room for product sales and demonstrations. A second-floor tasting room/hospitality area will be able to accommodate groups, motor coach travelers and special events when it is completed in 2019.
In July, a 2,000-pound, 23-foot-high copper Zwiebelturm – German for onion dome – was hoisted to the top of the new 74-foot Cheese Haus Figurinespiel Tower, which tells an animated story about how popular cheeses are made from around the world.
The adventures of Greta Van Fleet
This year was quite the thrill ride for Frankenmuth's own Greta Van Fleet. Most recently, the band made headlines after it was announced in December it was nominated for four Grammy Awards.
Many performances after its first paid gigs at Vassar's Cork Pine Eatery & Saloon, the band released its debut studio album – "Anthem of the Peaceful Army" – in October.
The album reached the top of Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart. It also took the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Rock Consumption charts and No. 3 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart.
Greta Van Fleet formed in 2012 and consists of four young musicians from Frankenmuth – twin brothers Josh and Jake Kiszka, younger brother Sam Kiszka and longtime family friend Danny Wagner. All four graduated from Frankenmuth High School within the last four years.
The group's 2018 U.S. tour sold out nine headline shows in New York City, Detroit and Chicago in September. Also, all 44 of its headline concerts this year sold out in advance.
Its 2019, the "March of the Peaceful Army" world tour begins Jan. 21 in Japan.
Gateway arch gets a new look
New signage now greets visitors to Frankenmuth and residents alike. In April, signs were installed on the Palmer Foundation Gateway Arch.
The arch stretches over the roadway on M-83, north of Townline Road, near Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland. The entire project cost $918,000 and was funded by the Palmer Foundation.
The idea for a welcoming arch in Frankenmuth dates back to the 1970s, when Walter and Maria Palmer purchased a piece of property from Wally Bronner on the south side of Frankenmuth, just north of Bronner's.
"It's rewarding to see a project you work a long time on come to completion," Frankenmuth Downtown Development Authority director Sheila Stamiris said. "Signs by Crannie did an excellent job to work with the design basis."
Four signs were displayed on the archway – two facing south and two facing north.
Travelers heading north on M-83 into Michigan's Little Bavaria can view a sign on top of the archway that says "Willkommen"–welcome in German. Those traveling south out of Frankenmuth can see a sign that reads "Auf Wiedersehen," which in German means goodbye.
Former track star represents at Winter Olympics
Eric Franke competed at the highest level of athletic competition, winning a medal in his first Winter Olympic Games.
Franke spent one year at Frankenmuth High School in 2006-07 as a foreign exchange student from Germany. He became an Olympic medalist after winning silver in the four-man bobsled for Germany in February at the Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.
"To be honest, I still haven't realized what it actually means to have won an Olympic medal," Franke answered in an email to The Advertiser after the Olympics. "I knew if I made the Olympic team, the chances of winning a medal were pretty good."
While attending Frankenmuth, Franke ran track and specialized in relay events. At the 2007 Division 3 state track and field meet, Franke was on the 400-meter relay and 800-meter relay teams that placed fifth. He was also on the 1600-meter relay team that finished eighth.
"To everyone who still remembers me from back then, or has heard of my story and supported me, thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said. "Your little town will be in my heart forever and you were all part of why I could make this possible."

A: SQL Server's ntext, text, and image datatypes are obsolete:

ntext, text, and image data types will be removed in a future version
  of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using these data types in new
  development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use
  them. Use nvarchar(max), varchar(max), and varbinary(max) instead.

Possible solution:

*

*Identify columns that use these datatypes

2a. (Correct way) Alter table and change datatypes to NVARCHAR/VARBINARY
2b. (Workaround) Or in SELECT DISTINCT use: CAST(col_name AS NVARCHAR(MAX)),
 the same for join condition like CAST(p.proj_name AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) = CAST(Civilbill20.proj_name AS NVARCHAR(MAX))

A: Fix the bad design.
In your linked table design, all ntext fields are - NAMES. Seriously? Project name up to 4gb?
Assign a sensible limitation to the length, then change that to be a NVARCHAR(x) (with being the length).
Once you did this, fix the bad programming. A project name has to be unique. If you formulate your queries correctly, there is no need for a (very expensive - as in slow) distinct to start with.
At the end this runs down to 2 beginner mistakes:

*

*Bad table design, using large text data types to hold short pieces of information.

*Bad query design that has unneeded Distinct clauses.

In your case it even looks like all the distinct make no sense logically because the data already is distinct thanks to group by.

Biografia
Sante Pollastri cominciò la sua carriera di ladro rubando carbone per proteggersi dal freddo. Non si conoscono esattamente i motivi per cui Pollastri divenne un ricercato e un acerrimo nemico dei Carabinieri: tra le ipotesi vi è l'uccisione di un parente da parte dei militi dell'Arma (un cognato che con lui stava fuggendo dopo aver svaligiato un appartamento) o il fatto che la sorella, Carmelina, fosse stata violentata da un carabiniere: Pollastri, nel 1918, avrebbe ucciso il presunto colpevole e si sarebbe dato alla macchia. Queste ipotesi non hanno trovato riscontro nei documenti e sono, almeno in parte, frutto delle leggende popolari nate intorno al bandito in epoca successiva.

Secondo una delle tante versioni popolari della storia di Pollastri, questi si sarebbe accattivato le simpatie anarchiche in seguito a questo episodio: uscendo da un bar, una sera del 1922, sputò una caramella amara al rabarbaro; questa cadde casualmente vicino agli stivali di due fascisti che, pensando che il gesto fosse intenzionale ed interpretandolo come una sfida, lo picchiarono a sangue.
Esiste poi un ulteriore racconto, che insiste sulla provocazione, condita di insulti, da parte di tre fascisti verso Sante, seguita da una rissa in piena regola.

Gli omicidi
Il 14 luglio 1922, Pollastri e la sua banda, alla quale si era unito l'anarchico Renzo Novatore, rapinarono un cassiere della Banca agricola italiana, Achille Casalegno, che portava una borsa piena d'oro: durante la colluttazione questi venne colpito da un proiettile al cuore e morì; al processo del 1931 il Pollastri avrebbe poi accusato il defunto Novatore dell'esplosione del colpo, anche se è possibile che con la sua testimonianza egli volesse scagionare sé stesso o un terzo complice.

Durante il periodo della latitanza, Pollastri uccise diversi militi delle forze dell'ordine: si rese infatti responsabile dell'omicidio, tra Piemonte, Liguria e Lombardia, di cinque carabinieri; tra questi, enorme clamore suscitò nel giugno del 1926 l'uccisione, insieme a un complice, di due carabinieri presso Mede, in Lomellina. Nel novembre dello stesso anno, uccise in uno scontro a fuoco il maresciallo Giuseppe La Corte e il brigadiere Sebastiano Pulvirenti, in un'osteria di via Govone, a Milano, dove si erano mescolati agli avventori per catturarlo, dopo una rapina compiuta qualche giorno prima nella quale era stato ucciso un gioielliere.

Verso la fine degli anni Venti era divenuto famoso anche all'estero, dove si era rifugiato in seguito agli ultimi omicidi.

Col tempo si guadagnò l'appellativo di Nemico pubblico numero uno; la sua fama crebbe, alimentata non solo dalle rapine e dai furti messi a segno (tra cui quello alla prestigiosa gioielleria Rubel a Parigi), ma anche dalla sua peculiare personalità che, si racconta, lo portava a compiere atti di generosità a vantaggio dei più poveri e degli anarchici latitanti.

L'arresto
Dopo gli omicidi degli ultimi due poliziotti, il vicecommissario Rizzo, della Squadra Mobile delle guardie di pubblica sicurezza della Questura di Milano, fu incaricato di catturare Pollastri; questi venne così arrestato a Parigi il 10 agosto 1927, nella metropolitana, con la collaborazione del commissario Guillaume (personaggio a cui Georges Simenon si ispirò per il suo commissario Maigret). Pare che Pollastri sia stato tradito da una confidenza di un informatore della polizia.

Tra i nomi degli autori della soffiata, si fecero quelli del suo luogotenente Peotta, di una ballerina e anche quello di Costante Girardengo. Pollastri e Girardengo, che si conoscevano ed erano amici fin dall'infanzia e dalla comune frequentazione con il massaggiatore Biagio Cavanna, si incontrarono durante una sei giorni nella capitale francese. Girardengo era più vecchio di sei anni e nel 1913, quando Pollastri era adolescente, aveva già preso parte al suo primo giro d'Italia. In seguito, questo incontro fu oggetto di una testimonianza di Girardengo al processo a carico di Pollastri.

Durante l'interrogatorio successivo alla cattura, il magistrato chiese a Pollastri se avesse idee anarchiche; egli rispose: "Ho le mie idee". Intervistato in seguito da Ferdinando Castelli, che stava scrivendo il libro I cavalieri del nulla, dichiarò di aver compreso di essere stato anarchico solo dopo aver appreso da Renzo Novatore in che cosa consisteva l'anarchia.

Pollastri venne quindi condannato all'ergastolo, estradato in Italia ed inviato a scontare la pena sull'isola di Santo Stefano, dove ebbe come compagni di cella diversi famosi banditi, tra cui Ezio Barbieri e Giuseppe Mariani.

La grazia e gli ultimi anni
Dopo aver scontato 32 anni di carcere, fu graziato nel 1959 dal presidente della Repubblica Giovanni Gronchi e ritornò al suo paese natale, Novi Ligure, dove visse gli ultimi vent'anni della sua vita praticando l'attività di commerciante ambulante di stoffe.

Pollastri morì il 30 aprile 1979, a 80 anni, venendo sepolto nel cimitero locale.

Nella cultura di massa
È nota l'amicizia che ebbe da bambino con il grande ciclista Costante Girardengo, anch'egli originario di Novi Ligure, e la sua compagnia d'azione con l'anarchico Renzo Novatore. La storia di questi "strani legami" ha ispirato l'autore musicale Luigi Grechi per la composizione della canzone Il bandito e il campione, portata al successo dal fratello Francesco De Gregori.

Dopo il successo della canzone e del libro omonimo di Marco Ventura è stata prodotta anche una miniserie televisiva Rai La leggenda del bandito e del campione, con Beppe Fiorello nel ruolo di Sante Pollastri, trasmessa in prima visione il 4 e 5 ottobre 2010.

È invece del 2011 lo spettacolo teatrale Quella sera al Vel d'Hiver, scritto e interpretato da Massimo Poggio e Davide Iacopini, che narra l'incontro di Pollastri e Girardengo alla Sei giorni di Parigi.

Nel 2017 esce Sante Pollastro e le storie del Borgo di Maria Angela Damilano: questa antologia di 12 racconti ripercorre, romanzandola, la vita di Pollastri attraverso altrettanti episodi che lo hanno visto coinvolto.

This year, Jess and I were invited to four weddings, which means, four wedding outfits. Weddings can be tricky to dress for because you want to be comfortable enough to dance and move but, you also want to look dressed up and put together.
For this particular wedding, we both decided to go with black dresses. Black is our go to for any occasion. You can read more about how to wear black in Jess' black on black post. A black dress should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe; it's super easy to dress up or down depending on the day or event. Jess' black dress is from Wilfred and mine is from Winners.
This wedding was held on the beach in Eastport, Newfoundland. It was laid back and beautiful. We wanted to look put together but not overly dressed up so we both opted for simple gold accessories and we went bare foot to the ceremony! However, we could easily dress up these outfits with more jewelery and a pair of heels.
Both outfits were comfortable from the beach straight through to late night dancing. And the best part is that we can wear these outfits time and time again.


As millions of Americans remain unemployed, U.S. manufacturers are having trouble filling hundreds of thousands of jobs requiring the skills to operate their high-tech machinery. Byron Pitts goes to factories to report on the problem and how employers are trying to solve it for a 60 Minutes report to be broadcast Sunday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
In Nevada, where the unemployment rate is the highest in the U.S., fastener maker Click Bond, Inc. wanted to expand by purchasing machinery from a Connecticut factory to use at its Nevada facilities. The company was forced to buy the entire factory because it could not find enough skilled labor in Nevada to run the machines. "We can't find enough students who are interested in pursuing these trades," says Click Bond COO Karl Hutter. "Because it seems hard?...Because it seems like you have to do math? I don't know," he says.
Click Bond's head of strategic initiatives, Ryan Costella, says the problem is even more basic. "I can't tell you how many people, even coming out of higher ed with degrees, who can't put a sentence together...If you can't do the resume properly to get the job, you can't come to work for us," he says. "We're in the business of making fasteners that hold systems together that protect people in the air when they are flying. We're in the business of perfection."
Costella says the problem is worsening as more baby boomers retire from the workforce and must be replaced. "We just hoped that the education system would produce what we need and I think the recession...a lot of things have taught us, 'No, you have to engage,'" he tells Pitts.
Click Bond and other manufacturers are battling the problem with a jobs training program at local community colleges. Students are taught to operate computerized machinery, read blueprints and learn trigonometry to make precise measurements - skills required on many of today's high-tech factory floors. For Ryan Vre Non, with a wife and child, the program was a savior.
Though he may start at Click Bond or some other manufacturer for about $12 per hour, skilled machine operators can make $60,000 a year. Vre Non's acceptance into the program was the start of a career that changed his outlook. "Very life changing. My whole day is going to be different now," he says. "I don't have to wake up and go, 'What am I going to do now?'"
For another student, it was a change from one career to another. Jamie Pacheco had been supporting his family as a commercial painter, but that work dried up in the recession. He looks forward to the challenge of a new career. "I like the fact that I have to put my brain to work to be able to apply myself to do this kind of stuff," he tells Pitts.

Justicia Investigations was approached by a NGO responsible for the welfare of the less fortunate. The organisation depended heavily on donations and it soon became clear that theft was taking place based on their dramatic drop in funds over a short period of time. Management within the welfare organisation was desperate for answers and contacted Justicia Investigations. Justicia Investigations infiltrated an undercover operative in order to obtain more intelligence about activity behind the scenes. The covert operative soon established that personnel at ground level, who dealt with the donations, were helping themselves to the funds on a daily basis. The welfare investigation team now required evidence, which was soon achieved through covert surveillance and the installation of covert cameras in strategic areas within their operation. The implicated employees were polygraphed and questioned once sufficient evidence was obtained. All of the employees that were interviewed failed their polygraph examinations and subsequently confessed, leading to their dismissals.

Q: "Inheritance" of a CSS selector Is there a way for a CSS class to essentially say do these commands and also the commands of another class?
The use case is that I have a 2 column site using Bootstrap. At the moment, I'm not certain what the relative widths will be and it would be nice to be able to change that in one place in my SCSS file rather than go to every instance of left-column and right-column and add in the required bootstrap classes.

A: You can call Boostrap grid/column settings using Sass mixins.
For example:
.your-left-column {
    @include make-col(8);
}

.your-right-column {
    @include make-col(4);
}

This should allow you to set your grid/column widths in one or very few places.
Details here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/#mixins

A: Sometimes the simplest approach is best!
If your issue is that you've got a bunch of:
class="left-column col-md-4"

And perhaps you change your mind and desire
class="left-column col-md-6"

Then a "Find and replace across documents" may work best. Most, if not all, coding editors will have this feature. If you've been consistent with your class naming conventions this could work really well!

Orchestral Music Review Print
Chapel Hill Community Chorus & Chapel Hill Philharmonia Team up for a Benefit Concert
By John W. Lambert
February 22, 2009 - Chapel Hill, NC:
Two of Chapel Hill's leading cultural organizations, the Chamber Choir of the Chapel Hill Community Chorus and the Chapel Hill Philharmonia, joined forces to support the Inter-faith Council of Chapel Hill and its work with folks for whom the recession has become an all-too-personal nightmare. Admission was by donation to the IFC, and Hill Hall was reasonably full on a lovely albeit brisk Sunday. (That the parking attendants were nowhere to be seen was an added plus – many culture vultures would much rather contribute to performing arts organizations than to UNC's – or Duke's – parking coffers!)
These groups are what one normally calls "amateur" operations, and there's no shame in that, for the root meaning is "love," as in love of music. Believe me, some of these outfits work a good deal harder at what they do than their professional counterparts, and from time to time the results can be of very high quality. There was a good deal of very, very good music-making on this occasion, to be sure.
CHP conductor Donald L. Oehler got things underway with a rousing reading of the Overture to Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila, one of the first operas of the Russian nationalist school and a popular curtain-raiser for concerts, too. Hill Hall is acoustically-challenged. Put a substantial orchestra in there, with a substantial brass section, and sometimes it suggests one of those old jokes about Bubba, the guy who says to his drinkin' pals, "Hey, watch this!" The introduction was a mite wooly, but by the time the strings started on their big theme, the ensemble came around. Curiously, the band didn't sound anything like that in the rest of the program (perhaps because so many of those brass folks were through…).
Two members of the CHCC's smallest, most elite group, Cantari, sang two Mozart arias. Soprano Amanda Haas offered the recitative and aria, "Deh vieni, non tardar," from Le nozze di Figaro, and tenor Wes Schulz performed "Un'aura amorosa," from Così fan tutte. Hers is a fairly small lyric soprano voice with a decent lower extension; his contribution of an excerpt that has "Mozart style" written all over it was thoroughly acceptable, too.
The first half ended with the extraordinary and rarely-heard (outside flute circles, at least…) "Poeme" by Charles Tomlinson Griffes, whose life was (Mark Furth's outstanding program notes told us) tragically cut short in 1920, in the flu pandemic. He's better known for "The White Peacock," but this little essay, in several distinct parts, is a real winner, and soloist Denise Bevington gave a wonderful performance of it, marred only slightly by excessive enthusiasm from the orchestra in a few places. For the record, she's this group's principal flutist, and it's always a treat when soloists emerge from the ranks, particularly when they acquit themselves as handsomely as she did.
The second half of the program, conducted by CHCC Music Director Sue T. Klausmeyer, consisted of a single work, Schubert's familiar and much-loved Mass, in G, D.167. There can be few people over 40 who didn't sing this in high school choruses. (People under 40 probably found little or no classical music in their HS programs, if there were HS music programs at all….) This reading, accompanied by an orchestra (instead of a rickety upright piano) and sung by a full-voiced adult chorus and proficient soloists (also from the ranks), was, overall, splendid. Even more than the works on the first half, this Mass is comfort food for music lovers, so it was an ideal vehicle for a benefit concert like this one. The soloists were soprano Jane Thurston, tenor Sho Ando, and baritone Will Gibbons, and they were good enough to erase memories of those teenage Met wannabes I recall from my high school (which, you will note, I am not identifying). The mid-sized choir (of around 60 singers) was excellent, demonstrating fine balance, blend, diction, and projection, all from the back of the stage. (There were no texts or translations for any of the vocal works, but in this half they would have been largely unnecessary.) The work is not very long – it lasted about 21 minutes on this occasion – and its subdued finale seemed to throw off the crowd, but after a brief pause, the performance drew an enthusiastic response, and the people went forth into the world having heard some fine music and done some good work in the world.


Peter Thiel is a year younger than me and worth $2.2 billion. "I've done well," he says, and you can't really argue with that. But still, waiting for this interview, to which he flies by private jet and I walk from the Tube, you can't help wondering. What does it take? In the quarter of a century since both of us left university, what has he done that I haven't?
Here's what: Thiel co-founded the PayPal online payment website and made his first fortune when it was sold to eBay 12 years ago. His share was worth $55 million. He then sunk $500,000 of that into a social networking site called Facebook. When Facebook went public last year, his holding was worth $1.25 billion.
