The Children's Aid Society (C.A.S.) of the District of Nipissing was formed in 1907. It was incorporated as a private corporation without share capital in 1941. CAS Nipissing functioned as a one-dimensional agency under the terms of the legislation of the day, up until the establishment of the Child and Family Services Act (C.F.S.A.) in 1984. The single purpose of the Society to that point was providing child welfare and delivering services related to that function. Under the broader mandate of the C.F.S.A., it enabled the Society to deliver other programs beyond the Child Welfare mandate. The Society has, over the past decade, been committed to establishing and delivering services which contribute to the well being of children and families.
In the District of Parry Sound, there were two Children's Aid Societies from 1909 on, one in East and one in West Parry Sound. An Order in Council dated October 5, 1909 established the Society under the name of the Children's Aid Society of West Parry Sound. In East Parry Sound, the office was in Burk's Falls. At first, the Society's work was concentrated just in the towns and it was only in 1920 that any service was provided in areas such as Restoule, Golden Valley, Lorning and Arnstein.
In 1931, the West Parry Sound Children's Aid Shelter was located on Miller Street and Mrs. Carr, the Matron, received 85 cents per child per day. On average there were 16 children in the Shelter and they baked their own bread, grew vegetables, and milked their own cow. By 1938 there were 144 children in care and a new secretary and assistant were hired.
In the mid 1930's, the East and West Parry Sound Societies started to discuss amalgamation. In 1937, only twenty percent of the work of both Societies was in the town of Parry Sound and the surrounding municipalities, while eighty percent was in the East side. It was in this year that the two Societies amalgamated and the Society moved into its own offices in Parry Sound in November, 1994.
The notion of an amalgamation of the Nipissing and Parry Sound Societies evolved as a result of an informal conversation between the Executive Directors of the two Societies in September of 1996. In January 1998 the Boards passed an identical motion agreeing to amalgamate the two Societies. On March 25, 1998 (Parry Sound CAS membership) and March 26, 1998 (Nipissing CAS membership) the amalgamation was endorsed and the Boards were charged with its implementation.
In 1985 the Children's Aid Society in Nipissing established permanent quarters by building its present head office at 433 McIntyre Street West in North Bay. The Society and its Board of Directors now deliver services in Child Welfare, Child Development, Young Offenders, and Early Intervention areas. The Society, in 1995, established a new Mission Statement to reflect its broadened role in providing service to the community. The Society has an active Board of Directors, a strong professional staff, committed foster parents, and relies extensively on volunteers to achieve its mission.


The AIMS Center has worked with over 1,000 organizations and trained more than 6,000 clinicians around the world to implement collaborative care, resulting in improved care for hundreds of thousands of patients.
The New York State Office of Mental Health selected 19 Delivery System Reform Incentive Program clinics to participate in a year-long learning network where clinics are encouraged to build relationships and learn from one another throughout training from the AIMS Center and Qualis Health.
This project hopes to gain valuable insight about how to best care for depressed mothers, especially in clinics serving low-income populations.
Poor mental health is a major public health issue that robs millions of people of their chance to lead healthy and productive lives. Depression alone doubles overall healthcare costs, worsens other medical conditions, and results in a staggering loss of productivity at work. In underserved rural areas in the WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho) region, a severe shortage of mental health providers compounds these problems.
MHIP helps low income or safety net populations throughout the state of Washington by integrating high quality mental health treatment into primary care settings using collaborative care.

Micom Laboratories is proud to announce that it now offers the ASTM D4585 test as part of its polymer testing services. This standard describes an accelerated aging test which allows to assess the water resistance of coatings through the use of controlled condensation. Indeed, this method states the principles and the operating conditions of the experiment, but it does not provide any indications on the post-evaluation tests, on the preparation of the samples and on the specific test conditions. Lastly, the ASTM D1735 and the ASTM D2247 standards are alternatives of this practice.
The aim of ASTM D4585 is to quantify the water resistance of a coating through a condensation test. In other words, this method tries to assess the ability of the coating to abide deterioration that is caused by water by exposing the sample to a controlled temperature environment with a saturated vapor. By doing that, it is possible to observe the coating's behavior towards water aggression on an accelerated basis and to foresee its performance in the field. In order to characterize the coating's performance, it is mandatory to pair this method with a test protocol that can assess aesthetic properties such as: color change, blistering, the loss of adhesion and softening, because ASTM D4585 does not provide any indications regarding the evaluation of the results. Also, this standard can appraise the complete coating system, because failure in this method can be the byproduct of: substrate contamination, inadequate surface preparation or by the coating itself. Furthermore, by incorporating a periodic drying of the sample, this test protocol may be used by corrosion tests. Lastly, this test may be used as a quality control or as a research and development test because the result of the experiment is either the coating meets the specifications or not and this is based on the aesthetics of the sample.
Micom offers polymer testing services for a wide selection of material and products. For more information about the ASTM D4585 test, we invite you to contact our material testing laboratory today. It will be our pleasure to answer your questions about either of those tests.
Micom Laboratories is a third party industrial material testing laboratory accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, CGSB, ISTA and many other organizations.

Daniel Dravot (DRAV-it) is a fictional character in Rudyard Kipling's novella "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888) and its film adaptation. In the film, he is portrayed by Sean Connery. Robert Hutchinson in his biography of Frederick Wilson suggests that Pahari Wilson, the so-called Raja of Harsil, was the inspiration for Kipling's character.

In the short story
In the short story, Dravot and co-conspirator Peachey Carnehan are members of the Third Degree of Freemasonry. Travelling to Kafiristan (in modern Afghanistan) with the intention of becoming kings, the two make a very convenient discovery: the natives are in possession of the secrets of both the First and Second Degrees of Freemasonry, but not those of the Third Degree. Dravot puts on his Master Mason's apron, whereupon the natives recognise the Third Degree symbol as their own sacred symbol concealed on the bottom of a stone. As luck would (again) have it, the stone on which the symbol is engraved is the very stone upon which Dravot is then sitting. Dravot immediately declares himself "Grand Master of All Kafiristan" and also Co-King of Kafiristan along with Carnehan. The conspiracy is eventually discovered, which results in the death of Dravot. Carnehan is crucified between two trees and survives for a day. The natives see this and let him go. He later returns to India, finds the narrator of the story, and tells him what has happened.

Film adaptation
The film is very true to the short story, but goes into less masonic detail. The different degrees are not mentioned by name. The identification of Dravot as a supposed god is made by the fact that he wears a pendant bearing a symbol, which is the sacred symbol of the Kafir natives. The symbol used in the film is not named, but is clearly shown, and is simply the Square and Compasses symbol of Freemasonry.

Other works
In the English writer Kim Newman's novel Anno Dracula (1992), Dravot appears as a vampire who works for the Diogenes Club during the time Count Dracula rules Britain, and helps them hunt down Jack the Ripper. He reappears in the World War I-set sequel, The Bloody Red Baron. In the second sequel, Dracula Cha Cha Cha, Dravot is said to be the vampire father-in-darkness of Diogenes Club agent Hamish Bond (a reference to both characters being played by Sean Connery).

In the comics adaptation H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and Scarlet Traces by Ian Edginton and d'Israeli, Dravot works for Dr. Davenport Spry, an official of the British government preparing for a counter-invasion of Mars following the events of The War of the Worlds. In the sequel, Scarlet Traces: The Great Game, it is said that Dravot died in the first major battle in the invasion, the Siege of Tharsis Ridge. His son James is a major character.

Only In New York
The Statue of Liberty Opens to Tourists After Months of Closure
By Nikhita Venugopal |&nbspJuly 4, 2013 2:37pm | Updated on July 4, 2013 2:54pm
@nkvenugopal
LIBERTY ISLAND — The Statue of Liberty was reopened to visitors on the Fourth of July, eight months after Hurricane Sandy destroyed her island and left the monument closed.
The Independence Day opening brought scores of excited tourists to the island, looking to celebrate with the world famous symbol of freedom.
Louisiana locals Sheryl Freyou and her daughter Katelyn planned their trip to the city months ago, particularly to spend the holiday on Liberty Island.
"It just solidifies why I'm proud to be an American," said Freyou, 43, adding that the statue signifies "freedom" and "sacrifice" to her.
"It's beautiful," said 18-year-old Katelyn. "I can't believe I'm here."
For many, the statue's Fourth of July opening was a happy coincidence with their vacation plans, like the Belvel family that has been on a cross-country road trip for more than two weeks and plans to see about 33 states.
While they did not know the statue was opening on Independence Day, they knew where they wanted to spend the holiday, said Stephanie Belvel, who lives in Arizona.
"We said, 'Where do we want to be for the Fourth of July? New York City," said Belvel, who is traveling with her two children, her husband and her parents.
Liberty Island closed for reconstruction on Oct. 29, just one day after the statue celebrated her 126th anniversary, said National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis, at an opening ceremony, Thursday.
Lady Liberty was unscathed during the storm, but Sandy pummeled the island's docks, energy infrastructure on Ellis Island and the security screening system.
The repairs to both Liberty Island and Ellis Island, which remains closed, were estimated for about $77 billion, Jarvis said.
While there are still repairs to be made on the island, Jarvis anticipates they should be completed by the fall, he said.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and other officials gathered on Liberty Island to celebrate the reopening, which included a performance of "God Bless America" from The Sopranos actor Dominic Chianese, under a fluttering Star-Spangled Banner and a blazing hot sun.
The Statue of Liberty "has just been an unforgettable experience for generations of visitors," Bloomberg said.
Crowds of tourists and visitors spent the holiday exploring the newly reconstructed island, but many also recognized the importance of the occasion.
Joel Ranan, who was visiting from San Francisco with his wife, Janine, and daughter, Angelene, 10, celebrates Independence Day in a different city every year with his family.
After hearing that the statue was opening today, they knew it would be the perfect destination, he said.
Looking at his daughter, Ranan added, "I just hope she remembers it for her life."

Arthur Middleton1742-1787Representative for South Carolina at the Continental CongressArthur Middleton was the son of Henry Middleton and Mary Baker Williams. He was born in 1742, at Middleton Place, near the banks of Ashley, South Carolina. At the early age of twelve, he was sent to the School of Hackney in London. After spending two years there, he went to the School of Westminster. The advantages of Westminster resulted in a thorough acquaintance with the Greek and Roman classics, in which he is said to have greatly excelled. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Middleton became a member of the University of Cambridge. His companions often tempted to engage him in their youthful follies, but fortunately he escaped the corruption of their ways and devoted extra time to the improvement of his mind. By the time he was twenty-two; he was a graduated bachelor of arts and left the university with the reputation of an accomplished scholar and also a moral man.

By means of his father's kindness, he was now permitted to travel. After visiting several parts of England, he continued en route to other parts of Europe where he spent two years, mainly in the southern areas. In Rome, he spent several months indulging himself in the exquisite cuisine and luxuries that were afforded him. Here he greatly improved his taste for music and painting; and even became well versed in the principles of sculpture and architecture.
Soon after his return to South Carolina, he was affianced to the daughter of Walter Izard, Esq. Still having a fondness for traveling; soon after his marriage he embarked on another visit to Europe, accompanied by his wife. In this tour he visited many places in England and passed through several of the principal cities in France and Spain. In 1773, Mr. Middleton once more returned to America, settling down on the banks of Ashley.
The father of Mr. Middleton was, at this time, a man of great wealth; but the present welfare of the country was plundering to a state of despondency. In the spring of 1775, Mr. Arthur Middleton was chosen on a secret committee, who was involved with the security of the country. With the authority that had been given, the committee immediately took possession of the public magazine of arms, ammunition, and moved them to a place of safety. In February 1776, the provincial legislature of South Carolina appointed a committee to prepare and report a constitution, which "should most effectually secure peace and good order in the colony, during the continuance of the dispute of Great Britain". This duty was assigned to Mr. Middleton and ten others.
Mr. Middleton was soon after elected by that body as a representative of South Carolina in the Congress of the United States, assembled in Philadelphia. Here he had an opportunity of inscribing his name on the greater character of American liberties. At the close of 1777, Mr. Middleton relinquished his seat in Congress and returned to South Carolina, leaving behind the character of a man of the purest patriotism, of sound judgment, and unwavering resolution.

NBA updates out-of-bounds replay rules on trial basis
The NBA Board of Governors has approved updates to the instant replay rules as they pertain to out-of-bounds challenges.
"In an effort to improve game flow, particularly at the end of games, the NBA has eliminated referee-initiated replay review of out-of-bounds violations during the last two minutes of the fourth period and the last two minutes of any overtime period," the league said in a statement Wednesday.
NBA updates out-of-bounds replay rules on trial basis Back to video
Now it will be solely up to teams whether to trigger a replay review of out-of-bounds violations via the coach's challenge, which can now be used at any time of the game.
The changes were only approved for the 2021-22 season on a "one-year trial basis," per the league's memo.
Basketball fans clamored for better rules to be put in place after instances during the 2021 playoffs featured excessive replays and overturned calls that slowed down important games. The NBA's Competition Committee recommended the changes to the Board of Governors.

Horizontal Bat Strokes - Part I
- By Ashok Mankad
Two primary horizontal bat strokes are the sweep and the cut. The sweep is played off spinners, while the cut can be played off pace as well as spin.
THE SWEEP
The initial movement of the sweep is the same as that for the forward-defensive stroke, but the sweep is played with horizontal movement of the bat.
This stroke is played to good-length balls that pitch in the line with or outside the leg-stump. A right-handed batsman should 'sweep' the bat around his body from right to left to despatch the ball square on the leg-side, or behind the wickets.
How to play the sweep -
(A) Lift the bat straight behind you. Lean forward, towards the line of the ball as it pitches.
(B) Keep your eyes on the ball and try to determine its line and length.
(C) Hold the bat predominantly with your left hand, and use the right hand only for support. Left-handers should do the opposite.
(D) Swing the bat horizontally to make contact with the ball in front of the pad. The ball should hit your pad if it misses the bat.
(E) Your timing must be spot-on. Do not hit the ball too hard because it will not allow you to roll your wrists at the right time.
(F) Bend the front foot to 90 degrees and allow the back leg to trail at the time of contact with the ball. Roll the wrists anti-clockwise, so that the bat does not fly out of your hand.
Pakistani maestro Javed Miandad was one of the best 'sweepers' in the history of the sport.
PADDLE SWEEP -
Sachin Tendulkar is brilliant at playing this stroke. A paddle sweep sends the ball very fine behind the stumps, almost as if the batsman has played a 'reverse-drive'.
REVERSE SWEEP -
This is one of the most prominent unorthodox strokes in cricket. To put it simply, it is a left-hander's sweep played by a right-handed batsman with a right-handed grip, and vice versa. Some right-handers even change their grip to a left-hander's (and vice versa) while playing this shot.
The reverse-sweep can be a very effective and at the same time, embarrassing stroke. Effective, because it can fetch the batsman a lot of runs, embarrassing because if he is unable to 'time' it well, he can get out and make a fool of himself. Hence, it should be attempted only by batsmen who have practised it in the nets and are reasonably confident of connecting properly.
The reverse-sweep is said to have been 'invented' by K.S. Duleepsinhji, who represented England in Test cricket in the late 1920s. In later years, Mushtaq Mohammed of Pakistan and Ian Botham of England essayed it often, as did former English skipper Mike Gatting, with disastrous consequences in the 1987 World Cup final. But the best exponent of this stroke is the Zimbabwean Andy Flower.
THE SQUARE CUT -
The square-cut is a back-foot stroke. It despatches the ball on the off-side at a right angle to the pitch. It is a stroke fraught with risk, and should be practised in the nets before being essayed in a match.
This stroke should be attempted to balls that have pitched wide outside the off-stump.
How to play the square-cut:
(A) Lift the bat and observe the line and length of the ball. Your left shoulder should point towards the ball before making contact for right-handers).
(B) Focus on the ball over your left shoulder while remaining side-on.
(C) Move the right foot across, towards the line of the ball. The foot should be parallel to the stumps with the toes pointing to the off-side. Flex the knees.
(D) Lift the bat straight behind your head.
(E) Turn your front shoulder towards the off-side
(F) Swing the bat downwards, with your arms extended (as if you are using an axe to cut a tree). Roll your wrists to keep the ball down. The right hand should control this shot for right-handers, and the left hand for 'lefties'.
(G) Keep your head steady.
(H) Transfer your weight onto the right foot as you make contact with the ball.
(I) Follow through with the body-weight on the right foot. As you finish the shot, your head should stay still and the hands and bat should 'finish' upwards.
LATE CUT
The late cut is literally, played 'late'. If a square-cut sends the ball in the region of point, a late cut sends it in the direction of third-man.
Gundappa Vishwanath, India's batting great of the 1970s, was an outstanding 'cutter'. The late Vijay Merchant was a fine exponent of the late cut.

Inchyra Crossing closure marks first for Network Rail
Network Rail today officially marked the closure of Inchyra level crossing in Perthshire – the first Scottish public crossing to close this century.
The automatic half-barrier crossing has been removed from the network after Perth and Kinross Council and Network Rail worked together to create a new link road to divert traffic away from the railway.
The new link road, between Inchyra and St Madoes in the Carse of Gowrie, was officially opened today by John Swinney, MSP for Perthshire North and the Scottish Government's cabinet secretary for finance and sustainable growth.
The closure is part of a wider Network Rail initiative to reduce the number of level crossings on Scottish roads. The company, which cannot close public crossings without local authority support, is currently in negotiations with other councils over the future of several public crossings.
David Simpson, Network Rail route managing director for Scotland, said: "Level crossing misuse represents the biggest outside risk to rail safety. We are committed to closing crossings where possible and we also avoid building new crossings into our lines.
"The closure of Inchyra shows what can be done to remove crossings from the network and is a great example of a local authority and Network Rail working together to improve public safety. We are in discussions with other councils regarding more level crossings and hope that today's closure is just the first of many in Scotland."
Perth and Kinross enterprise and infrastructure convener, councillor John Kellas commented: "We are pleased to have worked with Network Rail to make a dual improvement to transport safety in the Carse through this project. The new link road provides better access for residents and visitors to Inchyra, in combination with the closure of the level crossing, removing a hazard point for motorists and train travellers alike."

Salomon Kauffmann (ur. 11 grudnia 1824 r. w Świdnicy; zm. 21 sierpnia 1900 r. we Wrocławiu) – niemiecki przemysłowiec pochodzenia żydowskiego, właściciel wielu zakładów włókienniczych w Sudetach i Wrocławiu; radny miejski Wrocławia.

Życiorys
Urodził się w 1824 roku w Świdnicy jako syn Meyera Kauffmanna, właściciela sklepu tekstylnego. Tam też spędził swoje dzieciństwo i wczesną młodość. Uczęszczał tam do miejscowego gimnazjum. Jednak naukę przerwał w wieku 14 lat i zaczął praktykę kupiecką w przedsiębiorstwie ojca w 1839 roku. W 1853 roku jako najstarszy syn przejął przedsiębiorstwo należące do jego ojca w skład którego wchodziły wówczas: manufaktura tkacka w Głuszycy, bielarnia w Jedlince oraz filia przedsiębiorstwa we Wrocławiu. Salomon wraz z młodszymi braćmi: Juliusem, Robertem i Wilhelmem przekształcił przedsiębiorstwo w zespół fabryk włókienniczych.

Salomon Kauffmann mimo braku wyższego wykształcenia był człowiekiem o szerokich horyzontach umysłowych. Interesował się nauką i sztuką. Przewodniczył Wrocławskiemu Stowarzyszeniu Orkiestrowemu (Breslauer Orchester-Verein), a w jego domu bywali wybitni kompozytorzy Johannes Brahms, Ferenc Liszt oraz Richard Wagner. Ponadto należał do Izby Handlowej oraz Śląskiego Towarzystwa Kultury Ojczyźnianej (Schlesische Gesellschaft für Vaterländische Kultur). Był również radnym miejskim Wrocławia.

Firma tkacka od 1909 roku istniała jako spółka akcyjna pod nazwą "Kauffmann Meyer Textilwerke AG." (pol. "Kauffmann Meyer. Zakłady Włókiennicze Spółka Akcyjna") i rozwijała się intensywnie przejmując kolejne fabryki na Dolnym Śląsku. Po pewnym czasie stanowiła zespół fabryk włókienniczych znajdujących się w następujących miejscowościach: Jedlince, Wrocławiu – "Breslauer Baumwollen Spinnerei" (1859-1911), Leśnej (1863-1937), Krosnowicach (od 1874 roku), Głuszycy (od 1888 roku). Kompleks fabryk dawał zatrudnienie dla tysiąca osób, a wyroby były eksportowane poza Europę. Salomonn Kauffmann zmarł w 1900 roku we Wrocławiu i został pochowany na tamtejszym Starym Cmentarzu Żydowskim.

New Normal Apparel hosts Bike Bazaar for local vendors
September 15, 2015 Executive Editor Spectrum 0

New Normal Apparel is hosting a Bike Bazaar in honor of The Richmond 2015 Road World Championships Sept.19-27 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.
Sale items from the vendors range from jewelry and yoga pants to cutting boards. Currently, Sacred Waters Holistic Spa & Boutique, Superfun Yoga Pants, SolarMill, Sweetest Stitch and Robin Grabinska have all agreed to be vendors. Space for $1,000 for all nine days is still available for purchase until Sept. 15.
Originally, New Normal Apparel planned to be a vendor at Pop-up Revolution at Plant Zero or the Convention Center, but the organizers said the rates were too high for a small local business. This was the inspiration for their bazaar event.
"We're so close to the Convention Center and it made sense. Why not utilize our space and offer a really affordable space for businesses that are the same position as us?" said Kelley Blanchard, cofounder and executive creative director of New Normal Apparel. "It was less of a risk than paying ten grand to be somewhere else. It all comes back to our mission of supporting local vendors."
New Normal Apparel is a community-based fashion and lifestyle store that sources it's products from local businesses. Blanchard explained how a lot of the vendors participating in their bazaar event have worked with them in the past.
"We collaborate with Superfun Yoga Pants and Sacred Waters a lot," Blanchard said. "Whenever we do a pop-up or an event we invite them. They have also wholesale stuff with us before. And Solar Mills, we collaborate with him on our bullet casing necklaces. It's just from our relationships with other local business owners."
The bazaar will also hold two fundraising events. On Sept. 23 from 6-9 p.m. an "Aid Our Veterans" fundraiser is being held. There will also be a bike race celebration and benefit gathering for Amy's Army, an organization which treats victims of spinal cord injury, on Sept. 25 from 6-9 p.m.
"We're not really sure what to expect, but we're promoting it and the vendors are excited," Blanchard said. "The risk isn't too high."
Although this is the first nine-day-long bazaar New Normal Apparel has participated in, this is not their first time hosting. In the past, there has been a Mother's Day bazaar and a Last Minute Shoppers bazaar a week before Christmas 2014. Six vendors were at the Christmas bazaar and were open for about eight hours long.
Although this bazaar is far more extensive than past events for New Normal Apparel, Blanchard is excited to see how it plays out, and he believes that both New Normal Apparel and the vendors will profit.
"I think it will be fairly successful since we're right here next to the convention center," Blanchard said. "We're also going to be at Viva-la-Local, which is more around the finish line of the race. We're going to have people on foot handing out flyers, and we've been promoting through all local publications."

At the end of January I tagged along with Fuel co-directors Louise Blackwell and Kate McGrath on a trip to Manchester, where they were speaking at a conference organised by another London-based touring company, Paines Plough. The conference was titled The Future of Small-Scale Touring and I'm pretty sure it's the first event of its kind I've been to; if not, then I've blocked all memory of the others, no doubt because, as I (re)discovered at this one, I'm fundamentally unsuited to all-day conferences that consist of panels of people delivering a relay of speeches from an authoritative position on a stage, followed by brief, fractious Q&A sessions and barely interrupted by 30-minute coffee breaks (35 minutes for lunch). That's quite a severe representation of the day; for a fuller and more sympathetic account, Lyn Gardner's two blogs responding to the event, one suggesting a fairer system of arts funding, the other wondering why people in the theatre industry don't talk to audiences more, are terrific. And there's a very useful round-up on A Younger Theatre.
At the end of January 2013, I attended a very different theatre conference, Devoted and Disgruntled, at which participants mutually propose topics of conversation on the day then take part in the sessions that most interest and inspire them, and joined in a lively debate on touring. Again, there's an excellent account of that discussion on the D&D website by a producer of small-scale tours called Gloria Lindh, who thrillingly disrupted the Paines Plough event when, in a pique of irritation, she asked whether small-scale touring under the present system – the same touring system that has operated in the UK for decades – benefits anyone at all, or whether everyone should just stop.
I've thought about that D&D session often over the past year, because New Theatre in Your Neighbourhood works to resolve or at least address many of the problems it raised: the need for more face-to-face communication between makers, producers, venues and audiences; the need to engage with a community, rather than rock up for a night then disappear; the need to work not just in theatres but outside them, engaging with places that might, for some in the community, hold more meaning than the local arts centre. At other times I've thought about that session because some really sparky ideas came up in it – to do with screening trailers for upcoming theatre shows, either in the foyer spaces or on a pull-down screen in the auditorium; or setting up a support act system, like you get at a music gig, with, for instance, a young local theatre company presenting 15 minutes of their work (maybe as a scratch) before the main show starts – ideas which I'm yet to see anyone attempt.
Onslaught of speakers aside, part of my frustration with the Paines Plough event was based in the feeling that different sections of the theatre industry keep repeating the same conversation, but not joining forces in a way that might effect change. Listening to Matt Fenton, the brilliant director of Contact Manchester, note the overlap between The Future of Small-Scale Touring and Getting It Out There, a symposium held in Lancaster in May 2012 on, yes, "the future of touring for contemporary theatre and Live Art", I heard that frustration articulated from the stage.
But change is slow and incremental, and isn't helped by people like me griping with impatience. What feels exciting about NTiYN is the extent to which it is operating within an industry pushing, separately but together, towards the same shifts in practice. I've written on this blog before about Bryony Kimmings' contribution to the collection of texts documenting Getting It Out There, in which she talks winningly of how she spends time in the pub in the places where she tours, knowing that this personal contact with people has the potential to encourage non-habitual theatre-goers to see her work; and of the debate entitled I'll Show You Mine which she instigated, and which is bringing together disparate independent producers to rethink the relationship between theatre buildings and the people they programme. Through NTiYN (and my own project, Dialogue), I've made contact with the house network, which is dedicated to connecting isolated theatre directors and programmers across southern England with each other and with their local communities, and I'm striking up a relationship with the Collaborative Touring Network, the new approach to feeding the national theatre ecology cooked up by Battersea Arts Centre. Also through NTiYN, I've become much more aware of the awe-inspiring work of Annabel Turpin at ARC in Stockton-on-Tees: at both the 2013 D&D session and the Paines Plough conference, theatre-makers talked gratefully of her "meet the programmer" events, which break down the walls between artists and venues; and I've talked on this blog and to pretty much anyone who will listen to me about the sundry thoughtful ways in which she conspires to get the people who visit her building but not necessarily her theatre auditorium talking to the artists she programmes, encouraging the conversation that can first animate interest in the work and then enrich an engagement with it.
Sadly, within the context of the Future of Small-Scale Touring conference, NTiYN somewhat came across as a project Fuel are able to do because they are a National Portfolio Organisation, funded by Arts Council England and the Strategic Touring programme, of benefit to Fuel alone. It's important to see beyond that. All the speakers with whom I felt the strongest connection at the Paines Plough conference reflected, whether subtly or directly, on one crucial point: the future of touring, of theatre, relies not simply on getting people's bums on seats, but on developing proper, reciprocal relationships with their brains. On inviting people to talk about what they see, to participate at some point in the process of making work, maybe even – as Matt Fenton is admirably trying to do at Contact – get involved in venue programming decisions. On recognising that a lot of theatre happens in the same ways that it's happened for a century and more, ways that aren't always but can be outdated, distancing, paternalistic and elitist – and that need replacing with new models of activity that are more thoughtful, personal and transparent. On understanding that people who are enticed to take a risk on Fuel's work – and then (my favourite part of NTiYN) talk about what they saw, how it made them feel, what it did or didn't mean to them – might later be willing to take a risk on Paines Plough's work, on Little Mighty's work, on Action Hero's work, on non zero one's work, and so on and so on and so on.
It's telling that the only specifically designated NTiYN show in Fuel's January to April season, Daniel Bye's Story Hunt, is one rooted in conversation with the local community (and that the redoubtable Annabel Turpin co-commissioned and produced its original incarnation). As NTiYN moves into its next phase, following up on the Artists' Missions whose stories fill another page of this blog, and commissioning work that responds to specific localities and communities, that strand of its activity will become more and more prominent. But NTiYN is bigger than a research project, bigger than a set of shows. Increasingly, it is the way Fuel wants to operate as a company. And by having me tagging along, in a blurry place at once peripheral and integrated, they have someone always at hand who's keen to join the dots, within the industry and among audiences alike.
Over the past few days a vital conversation has been initiated by the performance/theatre-maker Bryony Kimmings on the difficulty of negotiating a tour as an artist. More specifically, her difficulty not just earning a living wage but communicating to venues/programmers what that entails in her particular case. Her blog post on the subject makes fascinating reading, because people are rarely so honest about money, and because people rarely talk openly about the things that frustrate, anger or hinder them in their working lives, essentially because they fear never being able to work again if they do.
Her sense that theatre operates by a false economy prompted another performance/theatre-maker, and also producer, Andy Field, to write a blog in reply, recommending potential solutions to what he crystallises as a problem of transparency. "Some of the fundamental conflicts and suspicions that arise between artists and those organisations that support and present their work could be immediately improved if we found ways to hard wire a greater degree of transparency into the relationships between them," he argues.
I've been gripped by the debate because so much of my life over the past couple of years has been dedicated to encouraging and supporting that transparency, whether as critic-in-residence of Chris Goode and Company, as a co-collaborator in Dialogue, as a writer-in-residence responding to In Between Time, or as a critical friend travelling alongside Fuel/NTiYN. Increasingly what interests me is the process of making theatre: not just what happens in a rehearsal room, but everything that happens outside the room that has an affect on the audience's relationship with that work. The more I talk to the people who fill those outside-the-room roles, particularly producers and programmers, the more important I think it is for their voices to be heard publicly. But they're nervous: of course they are, transparency and accountability are terrifying. I thought it was interesting that David Jubb, artistic director of Battersea Arts Centre, chipped into the Kimmings/Field debate on Twitter with a link to this document on his theatre's website, which sets out in some detail how BAC apportions money to programming and producing work. Dialogue has had two residency periods at BAC, and I've been struck both times by the willingness of its senior production team to share with us its internal working practices. I'm excited by the prospect that – as in so many things – where BAC leads, other institutions will follow.
Andy's blog suggests as a route to transparency that we talk more openly about money: who earns what, who pays what. This idea appeals to me a lot, if only because it would do so much to combat assumptions about arts funding. Imagine how differently we might feel about the National Theatre's disproportionate subsidy allocation if we knew how much was spent on developing work in the NT Studio that feeds out across the industry. But I also agree with Paul Burns, director of programming and production at DanceXchange, who points out in the comments below Andy's blog: "It's difficult to compare both fees and costs without a wider context". I can corroborate this from my own bizarre pay structure, in which the money I earn bears no relation whatsoever to the work I do. I'm not paid for my work with Chris Goode and Company (but might be one day), nor for anything but the occasional project with Dialogue (eg, our recent residency at the Bush in London). I was paid for the In Between Time residency and associated publication, but that fee in no way reflected the number of hours I spent at the festival and writing afterwards. I'm paid for this work with Fuel, and feel constantly amazed and gratified not only for that privilege, but the opportunity to think out loud, and even agitate, under the organisation's banner without stricture from anyone at Fuel. All of this is subsidised by my more conventional writing for the Guardian, and even that is made possible by the fact that I'm married to someone who doesn't work in the arts.
One of the pieces I keep meaning to write for the Argument section of this blog is a reflection on a discussion about touring that took place as part of Devoted and Disgruntled 2013. What that conversation made clear is that the frustrations Bryony articulates – about money, lack of communication, false assumptions – are felt by artists across the country, makers and producers alike. Over the next couple of months, there are several opportunities to discuss these further, and work collaboratively towards some kind of solution. Action Hero have begun a doodle poll to find a date to discuss Bryony's specific concerns, that's here. Devoted and Disgruntled 2014 takes place 25-27 January in London, tickets for that can be booked here. And the touring theatre company Paines Plough are organising a one-day seminar on the future of small-scale touring, taking place in Manchester on January 30. I plan to be at all of them, and hope to see you there. Oh, and do scroll down to the comments beneath the Paines Plough blog post on the seminar: you'll spot a certain Bryony Kimmings offering her services as a speaker. Paid, of course.

Autobahn Verbindungsspange Rothneusiedl er en betegnelse for den planlagte motorvej A24 i Østrig. Motorvejen skal forbinde Wiener Südosttangente A23 med Wiener Außenring Schnellstraße S1. Motorvejen får en længde på knap 3 kilometer.

Omkostningerne ved anlægget er beregnet til over 100 mio. euro per kilometer, hvilket vil gøre det til Østrigs dyreste motorvej nogensinde. Motorvejen er i 2008 endnu i en tidlig projektfase, og selvom Østrigs parlament den 29. marts 2006 optog projektet på statens anlægsplan for motorveje, så ligger projektet endnu stille. Østrigs trafikminister Werner Faymann har således peget på, at der på grund af de høje anlægsomkostninger skal ske en fornyet planlægning.

A common question in the JHipster chat room is "How to deploy to production?" Developers run into issues dealing with Docker, networking, monitoring, and more, especially when trying to run on a cloud service. JHipster helps out on several of those points (such as generated docker configurations), but choosing how and where to deploy to production is left up to the user.
Rancher "is a complete, open source platform for deploying and managing containers in production." It fits very well with JHipster, taking over in production where JHipster leaves off. Rancher orchestrates Docker containers across hosts and helps handle scaling and health checks for containers.
This demo will go through the process of deploying a full JHipster microservices application to Amazon EC2. We'll keep it simple by using the pre-generated JHipster sample applications. This means no coding is needed to see the JHipster microservices in action.
The sample apps we'll be using are the sample gateway and sample microservice. The gateway uses a MySQL database and the microservice uses a PostgreSQL database. These dependencies will be configured through docker-compose. The sample apps are available at the below repositories and on Docker Hub as pre-built Docker images.
If we generated the apps locally, we could use yo jhipster:docker-compose to build a full docker-compose.yml containing all of the services and dependencies. This includes any databases chosen during generation and Elasticsearch if search is enabled. For this demo, I ran that command on the sample apps to generate several yml files. I combined the docker-compose.yml and jhipster-registry.yml files into a single docker-compose.yml for easier deployment on Rancher. The jhipster-registry.yml file includes the JHipster Registry which is used as a Spring Cloud Config server and for Netflix Eureka service discovery.
Now that we have a docker-compose.yml set up and our Docker images hosted on a registry (Docker Hub), we can deploy through Rancher. You can install Rancher by running the docker container with docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8080:8080 rancher/server, or any method of your choice. You can also try a demo of it at https://try.rancher.com/ - though note I couldn't deploy to EC2 from the demo for some reason.
Make sure Rancher is running and you've logged in. First, we need to define an Environment. For this demo, I used "JHTest" as the name. Rancher Environments separate hosts and stacks from other environments, allowing an easy separation between dev/prod and other projects.
The next step to deploying is creating a Host (under the Infrastructure tab). Rancher offers a variety of pre-configured options such as AWS EC2, Azure, Digital Ocean, and Packet. Entering an API key for one of those accounts will allow Rancher to provision the servers and install Docker on them. I've recently seen some questions regarding deploying JHipster microservices to AWS so I will use that for this demo. If you aren't using AWS, choose a host and find your API key. You can also add a host manually.
Fill out your AWS API Key and Secret, choose your region, network, select your VM sizes and count, and click deploy. Along with installing Docker, Rancher also sets up the network management and runs a container scheduler for restarting failing containers. It will take a few minutes for each host to get ready.
Deploying the services is simple. Switch to the Stacks tab, choose Add Stack, and give it a name of your choice. Copy the docker-compose.yml from the linked gist and paste it into the docker-compose.yml field. Click create, and wait a few minutes for the images to pull and deploy.
Congratulations, you've deployed JHipster microservices to the cloud without writing a single line of code! Once everything has started, you will be able to access it at port 8080 of the host running the jhipstersamplegateway container. You can also access the JHipster registry at port 8761 of the host running the jhipster-registry container. You can see the host's IP addresses on the Host tab.
Scaling - Rancher allows for easy scaling of containers. You can also set rules to run a container on each host, or a keep a certain number of containers running.
As you can see, Rancher helps deploying apps to any environment. It keeps things simple and lets the developer focus less on the fine details of Docker and more on a stable deployment. In the upcoming weeks, there will be a special yo jhipster:rancher-compose generator that will handle even more of the configuration for the developer, including loadbalancers (Link to PR). Stay tuned!

Q: SQL Server 2012: does OPENDATASOURCE not accept variables, only literal strings? I have a SQL Server 2012 query that uses OPENDATASOURCE. I want to build the init string separately and then call OPENDATASOURCE, so that I can avoid using dynamic SQL. The command I use is like this:
set @connection_string = 'Data Source='+ @ServerName + ';User ID=' + @UserName + ';Password=' + @Pass

select  *
from    opendatasource('SQLOLEDB', @connection_string)...

however, when I run this, I get the error
Incorrect syntax near '@connection_string'. Expecting STRING, or TEXT_LEX.

Am I not allowed to use a variable in OPENDATASOURCE?

A: OPENDATASOURCE does not accept variables for its arguments.

A blanket of orange snow has turned parts of eastern Europe into a scene from a science fiction movie. The orange snow has baffled skiers who described the snow as "Martian-like landscapes". Several social media users documented the orange blankets of snow in Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova.
Photos show skiers at Russia's Sochi resort skiing the orange slopes as if nothing is out of the ordinary while others described the scene as "apocalyptic". The orange snow comes just days after the island of Crete in Greece was covered in orange Saharan dust. The orange dust blanketing the island nation is said to be the result of strong Scirocco winds blowing dust from Lybia towards Greece.
Severe Weather Europe reported the dust storm would likely move into Europe and remain for around a week. It seems the orange dust has made its way all the way from the Sahara Desert to Eastern Europe and is responsible for the Martian-like snowfall.
I've seen Dark Gray snow… (Coal Dust impregnated) in the 60's in Western Europe .
It just depends on what is in the higher atmosphere air eventually collected in the snow producing clouds.
KEK! Merkel is even letting the sand in now!

The Incredible Ingenuity of a BYU Graduate and Former NASA Engineer
Jan 4, 2019 | What's New | 0 comments
Mark Rober (born 11 March 1980) grew up in Orange County, California. He earned a mechanical engineering degree from Brigham Young University and a master's degree from the University of Southern California. He is an inventor and YouTube personality and is best known for his YouTube videos on popular science, do-it-yourself gadgets, and creative ideas. He is also a former NASA engineer. He worked at NASA for 9 years (from 2004 to 2013) and spent seven of those years working on the Curiosity rover, which is now on Mars, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Mark is not a person who sits idle and allows his education and talents to go to waste. With such creations as a snowball machine gun, the world's largest nerf gun, and a Guinness World Record-winning soaker, it is evident that he has great ingenuity.
His most popular invention is Digital Dudz, a range of Halloween costumes that integrate mobile apps with clothing. The idea became reality on Halloween 2011 when Mark placed one iPad on the front and one on his back and created the illusion of seeing through his body by linking the two using the FaceTime video chatting app. The YouTube video of his costume depicting a gaping hole in his torso immediately went viral, receiving 1.5 million views in just one day.
On 3 October 2012, Mark launched Digital Dudz and started selling costumes online. He was able to market the costumes using only the YouTube video that he posted, and in three weeks, Digital Dudz garnered a quarter million dollars. In 2013, the costumes had pockets sewn into the insides and were being sold by hundreds of Party City stores and specialty shops across the country. By August 2013, the app had been downloaded a quarter of a million times. Digital Dudz costumes were featured on CBS News, CNN, The Jay Leno Show, Fox, Yahoo! News, Discovery Channel, The Today Show, GMA, and dozens of other media channels. In 2013, he sold Digital Dudz to British costume-maker Morphsuits and left his job at NASA to join the company as the chief creative officer. Holding a patent for the integration of apps with clothing and costumes, Mark also signed a deal with Disney to create augmented outfits modeled on Marvel Comics superheroes.
In December 2018, Mark created the "Glitter Bomb" which was designed to capture and embarrass thieves stealing packages from his porch during the Christmas season. When opened, the device sprayed the perpetrator with glitter and emitted a foul smell. The video was recorded by embedded mobile devices within the device, and then the video was uploaded to Mark's mobile account for viewing. The video, which documented the thieves' reactions and comments immediately went viral, receiving more than 49 million views. The video was featured by CNN, the New York Post, and other national media news outlets.
It was later discovered, however, that two of the five alleged thieves were known to Mark or his friends. He explained to CNN that he had "asked his friends — and friends of friends — to try out his invention, even offering to pay those who could recover their packages." Mark subsequently removed two of the clips from the video.
Mark Rober is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often mistakenly referred to as the "Mormon Church). He lives in the city of Santa Clarita in Los Angeles County, with his wife and his son. In order to raise awareness about autism, he tweeted out his support for those with autism, referencing his son who is autistic.
Mark Rober's Newest Adventure – The World's Largest Pool of Jello
What would you do if you were invited to a party and told that the highlight of the party was being able to swim in the world's largest pool made of Jello? Would you take it seriously, or would think that it was a gag? Well, Mark Rober with some help from his brothers went to work and engineered the world's largest pool of Jello. After days and hours of testing to get the gelatin mixture just right and figuring out how to fill a pool with it, as well as how to get the right temperature for the gelatin to stiffen, the pool was ready and it was party time. Mark invited his nephews and some of their friends to have first dibs at trying the pool. See the video below for the full account.

Story enjoying homecoming series in Arlington
Shortstop grew up an avid Rangers fan in nearby Irving, Texas

ARLINGTON -- The first series that Rockies shortstop Trevor Story circled on his calendar during the 2016 season was a four-game road set against the Rangers.
Story grew up in Irving, Texas, and was an avid Rangers fan. Irving is about 30 minutes west of Dallas. Story was looking forward to playing against his childhood team for the first time, but he missed his chance on playing in the series after suffering a torn ligament in his left thumb a couple of weeks prior to the series.
Now, Story will finally have an opportunity to play at Globe Life Park, where the Rockies open a three-game Interleague series against the Rangers on Friday.
"It's special," said Story, who graduated from Irving High School. "I grew up coming to this park, watching the Rangers. They were my team when I was younger. Very exciting, lots of emotions for sure. It was tough I couldn't play in '16, but I'm looking forward to this."
Story's favorite Rangers player growing up was Michael Young, who was a seven-time All-Star with Texas.
"I loved Michael Young," he said. "He was my guy, playing short."
Story will enter the series as one of the Rockies' hottest hitters. He entered Friday batting .441 (15-for-34) with three homers and nine RBIs during his eight-game hitting streak. He also led the National League with 50 RBIs and was tied for fourth with 14 home runs.
"Trevor Story's name is getting out there now amongst baseball people," manager Bud Black said. "In the circles behind the cage, conversations with other coaches and managers that I have. He's becoming a guy that people are noticing, and it's deserving."
Story will have a large group of family, friends and former coaches in the stands on Friday, including his parents, who still live in Irving.
Rockies beat
• Right-hander Chad Bettis is a native of Lubbock and played his college career at Texas Tech. He will be making his second career start against the Rangers. He allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings in his first start against Texas on August 11, 2016.
Bettis' parents will be in attendance when he makes his start against the Rangers on Friday.
Black said he was excited for Story and Bettis to play in front of family and friends in their home state.
"Isn't that great? I love it so much when guys are able to do that," Black said. "I think it's a special time for Trevor and Chad to come back. For Chad, to come back to his home state. For Trevor, to where he was raised, where he played youth baseball. I think it's cool."
• Charlie Blackmon has a .323 career batting average in Interleague play, which ranks sixth among all active players. Carlos Gonzalez ranks 12th with a .315 average.
Gonzalez has batted .292 (7-for-24) in six Interleague games as a designated hitter. His 24 at-bats as a designated hitter ranks highest among active Rockies. Gonzalez received the day off on Friday after going 0-for-3 against the Phillies on Thursday.

Former Health Officials Urge Tobacco Companies to Stop Selling Menthol Cigarettes
By Join Together Staff | March 6, 2014 | Leave a comment | Filed in Advocacy, Ethnicity, Prevention & Tobacco
A group of former top health officials is urging tobacco companies to stop marketing and selling menthol cigarettes. The group includes all of the living former U.S. Secretaries of Health, Surgeons General, and Directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The group, called the Citizens' Commission to Protect the Truth, is also calling on the Obama Administration to allow the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban menthol flavoring in cigarettes.
Former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph A. Califano, Jr. and former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Louis W. Sullivan, MD, said banning menthol cigarettes is "imperative to avoid encouraging children and teens to start and continue smoking and to avoid the devastating impact of menthol cigarettes on the African-American community."
The group called menthol "the spoonful of sugar that makes the deadly medicine these companies are selling go down." They said there is overwhelming evidence that menthol disguises the harsh taste of tobacco, and makes it more difficult to quit smoking. They added tobacco companies aggressively market menthol cigarettes to African Americans, which has led to smoking-related deaths and diseases including cancer, heart disease, and lung diseases such as emphysema.
In November, the attorneys general of 24 states urged the FDA to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes. In a letter to the FDA, the attorneys general said "there are numerous law enforcement tools that can be used to combat production or importation of unlawful tobacco products. Moreover, the quantity of menthol cigarettes that could be made available on the black market would be far less than the quantity that will be available if menthol remains legal. Therefore, a ban on menthol would dramatically decrease public access to menthol cigarettes."
