A rítus (eredeti cím: The Rite) egy 2011-ben bemutatott amerikai thriller, amely Matt Baglio A rítus: egy ördögűző születése című könyvének adaptációja. A könyv, és így a film is valós eseményeken, az amerikai Gary Thomas atya elbeszélésein alapul. A filmet Rómában és Budapesten forgatták.

Készítése
Mikael Håfström 2010 februárjában kezdett el dolgozni egy ördögűzésről szóló thrilleren. A főszereplőket – Luca atyát és Michael Kovakot – játszó színészeket (Anthony Hopkinst és Colin O'Donoghue-t) márciusban választotta ki. A film producerei Beau Flynn és Tripp Vinson már korábban is közreműködtek producerként egy hasonló témájú filmél (The Exorcism of Emily Rose).

A film Matt Baglio A rítus: egy ördögűző születése című, 2009-ben megjelent könyvén alapul. Baglio művének megírásához részt vett egy ördögűzéssel kapcsolatos szemináriumon Rómában. Itt találkozott Gary Thomas atyával, a Saratoga megyei Szent Szív-templom plébánosával, akit San José (Kalifornia) püspöke kért fel arra, hogy legyen az egyházközség ördögűzője. Az eleinte szkeptikus és vonakodó pap kétségei azonban Rómában hamarosan szertefoszlottak. Ismeretségének köszönhetően Baglio több mint húsz, Gary atya által levezetett ördögűzésen lehetett jelen.

Amikor Beau Flynn és Tripp Vinson tudomást szereztek a könyv előkészületeiről, megvették a szerzőtől a filmkészítés jogát, és felkérték Michael Petronit, hogy írja meg a film forgatókönyvét. Petroni a forgatókönyv írásakor igénybe vette Baglio segítségét, aki ugyanebben az időben írta könyvét.

Megrendezésére Mikael Håfströmöt kérték fel. Bár a film alapvetően a démonokra és az ördögűzésre koncentrál, a rendező szerint a film ennél jóval több, hisz "a történet arról is szól, hogy egy fiatalember hogy ismeri meg önmagát és találja meg az útját az életben". A film előkészületeikor Håfström meglátogatott néhány ördögűzést Rómában. Bár a szertartásokon személyesen nem vett részt, de hallhatta ami bent történik.

A film készítésekor Gary Thomas atya is jelen volt, és elismerte, hogy az ördögűzés rítusának ábrázolása a filmben nagyon pontos.

Bemutatása
A filmet a Warner Bros. 2011. január 28-án mutatta be. A film a római katolikus egyházon belül alapvetően kedvező fogadtatásra talált, bár többen megkérdőjelezték a film horrorfilmként való besorolását.

Roger Ebert a Chicago Sun-Times-ban szintén méltatta a művet: "Csodálom A rítust, mert azon túl, hogy megad mindent amit egy horrorfilmtől elvárnánk, hanem hangulata van, jelenetei hátborzongatóak és megindítóak, ami a színészek alakítása tovább gazdagít."

Negatív kritikák is érték a filmet. A Rotten Tomatoes oldalon olvasható kritikák egyike szerint "...bár Anthony Hopkins a tőle megszokott módon kitűnő alakítást nyújt, de személye nem illik bele A rítus lassú cselekményfolyásába, és nem alkot jó párosítást Colin O'Donoghue alakításával sem."

Home Articles	Is investing in Bitcoins worth it?
Aside from the implications that crypto-digital currencies could in fact be the "next medium" by which institutions, multi-national companies or even nations begin to issue (or "back") payments in. The reason for this is simple to some – technology is the wave of the future, so one might be inclined to think that something like Bitcoin is in fact part of the wave of the future. At any rate, there's no denying the logic in that; after all, all one needs to do is take a look at history to see how quickly trends can emerge and mutate to see that there's real potential here. Perhaps a better question to ask is – will Bitcoin have any real "staying power"?
It isn't really relevant whether or not investing in Bitcoins will net you the type of short term gains you are lusting after. No, the real thing to focus on is how greatly trading in the emerging currency will spike over the length of its lifetime. Just going on recent data, it becomes clear that some people have done quite well for themselves within the context of Bitcoin investing. For instance, there are plenty of cases where individuals from all across the globe have made fortunes by simply holding onto certain amounts in their respective Bitcoin wallets. There's a fairly well-known story featured here in the Guardian which details one such case.
Outwardly, it would seem that the big goal with Bitcoin is to gradually pull in more and more investors until the overall value of each coin has become significantly inflated. In essence, the more drive or demand that you create for Bitcoins, the greater the chance that significant gain can be made on short or long-term investments. As with any other type of tangible asset, whether corporeal or digital, one could argue that all Bitcoin is really doing is creating "bubbles" which are then later "harvested" by a certain contingent of holders. Moreover, it's also sensible to assume that some people are subsequently driven out of Bitcoin after each bubble collapses, having not moved funds beforehand, thereby maintaining or transferring value.
However, perhaps the most pressing issue to contend with when it comes to Bitcoins is that of "frequency". Specifically speaking, how often are these bubbles going to be created, how long are they to be inflated, and lastly, how many of them will there actually be before the currency itself either changes or collapses entirely? These are questions you need to ask yourself (and ponder on) because there's currently a lot of disagreement within all ranks about how viable Bitcoin is. For example, some analysts feel that there are only a set number of bubbles that can be created before Bitcoin either becomes fairly fixed in price / exchange value, or completely falls apart.
The simple fact of the matter is that we really don't know how the Bitcoin story is going to play out because it is essentially an ongoing experiment, a work in progress. All you can really do is diversify as expected and perhaps investigate the emergent crypto-currency on your own terms. Prudent investors will naturally want to have a bit of cash in Bitcoin as well as a vigilant eye on its value. If one plays things correctly in these unique circumstances, fairly large sums can be netted from relatively small investments.

Kansas Legislators Consider Raising Farmers' Taxes
Kansas farmers would see hikes on their property taxes and farm equipment, thanks to bills by state legislators hoping to close a $600 million state budget shortfall.
The first, proposed by Kansas state senator Jeff Melcher, would raise taxes on agricultural land. The second, proposed by state senator Les Donovan, would end a sales tax exemption for farm machinery.
The potential costs could be significant for Kansas farmers, who are already struggling with low commodity prices for wheat, corn, and soybeans.
"Many farmers would not be able to handle the increases caused by these suggested tax increases," said Leah Fliter, director of advocacy and outreach for the Kansas Farm Bureau. "They would likely go out of business, which would impact the state's number-one economic driver at a time when we are emerging from a recession. Farmers cannot pass costs on to their customers because farmers don't set the prices they receive for the crops they grow. Additionally, the use value proposal would upend a stable revenue source upon which Kansas counties depend to fund schools and services and replace it with a much more volatile formula."
Luckily for farmers and ranchers, the bills appear unlikely to become law. "We believe the prospects are dim, but we are concerned and will continue to monitor these bills," Fliter said.
Do you farm in Kansas? What are your thoughts on these bills? Let us know on the AgWeb discussion boards.

Buhl home owners can skip this tedious job entirely by employing a professional cleaning service provider that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically created to have properties prepared for those moving in to settle in as soon as possible. Having the house cleaned thoroughly prior to you move out refers common courtesy if absolutely nothing else, but occasionally it is a mandatory requirement, specifically if you're a previous occupant.
Besides that there are many reasons why it is imminent for Buhl renters to employ a professional house cleaning service company when they are moving in or moving out. There is nothing easy about a move. Numerous jobs need to be achieved provided a short period of time. The scope of the cleaning requirements that need to be done can be frustrating indeed, particularly if the renter is burdened with work and other commitments. Windows should be wiped down, radiators must be cleaned, tiles have to be spotless, and kitchen cupboards need to be emptied out. Existing furnishings have to be dusted and carpets have to be completely cleaned.
The contract signed by the property owner and the tenant typically consists of a provision that obligates the latter to leave the home as they had found it-empty, excellent, and undamaged. In addition, for tenants who have actually chosen to move out, the landlord may include service charges against deposit funds if particular areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is absolutely not the top priority for someone who is faced with the powerful challenges of settling into a new place and starting a new life. There are a lot of things that have to be accomplished in so little time, not the least of which is completing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to meet their end of the contract, the more practical option for the occupant is to hire Buhl expert cleaning crew, as opposed to do the tidying up themselves.
The main advantage of working with Buhl professional cleaning company is that they can do the task more thoroughly and more effectively. A cleaning company can work wonders, and recover a place that has actually been lived in for quite some time into an area that is virtually brand new. A person without appropriate experience in utilizing cleaning tools and cleaning chemicals would not understand exactly what kind of substance to use to get rid of a particular type of stain.
Moving into a new location in Buhl can be exhausting. More than likely, the new arrivals do not know any individual in the area, and there is no person to offer an extra hand in preparing the location for the furniture and individual results of the occupant. Property owners or managers usually require the last resident to leave the properties in excellent condition, it is still essential for the new resident to make sure that the area is indeed a wholesome, safe, and enjoyable place to live in. Professional cleaning service companies provide not just end-of-tenancy cleaning services. They may also be hired to perform an extensive cleaning and maintenance, take care of the home, check the little details, and make sure that the new home is indeed all set for tenancy.
Before you leave your home, look for busted things and ensure you replace each one of them. In case you forget to change such issues like lights or missing out on screws, it is most likely that your property owner would take a big portion off your preliminary deposit for these minor issues.
If your house has wall to wall carpeting, you will certainly have to decide between hiring a professional to clean it or resorting to cleaning it on your own. If you look at the existing condition of the carpet and match it to the initial state, this decision would be simple. When you make this choice, bringing it to the initial condition need to be your aim.
You should also check the walls to see if there are discolorations on them. Walls with discolorations can be a huge problem due to direct visibility. Make certain you remove wall-stains with a mild hand to prevent eroding the paint because if that happens, you will certainly lose a huge piece of your deposit funds.
After you have actually done all the cleaning, establish that you check out the fridges and ovens. The seals of the fridges need to be in appropriate condition, and the ovens must be clean enough for usage. When moving out in Buhl, these checks will certainly increase the odds of getting the deposit total in whole.
There are literally dozens of companies that offer move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning throughout where you live, and picking the right one will mean a practical, easy move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of cost savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing property, book as far in advance as possible.

Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)
Health Professional Research 1 (NHPHS2101)
Amanda is an occupational therapist with over 30 years' experience working in adult rehabilitation in private and public hospital settings. Amanda joined Federation University in 2021 to work with the occupational therapy team to deliver the newly created Bachelor in Occupational Therapy (Honours) program. She currently coordinates the undergraduate allied health research subjects, delivering the course to students from occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech pathology programs.
Amanda has previously held voluntary positions with Occupational Therapy Australia, including coordinating special interest groups, convening state conferences and chairing the Victorian Divisional Council.
(1) Hospital Associated Deconditioning
Amanda's doctoral studies involved the development and testing of an occupational therapy rehabilitation intervention for older adults with hospital associated deconditioning. This involved examining current practice internationally through a systematic review and a national Delphi study. The results of this research were used to develop an occupation-based rehabilitation intervention and the effectiveness was tested conducting a randomised controlled trial in the hospital setting with occupational therapy staff. The resulting publications and conference presentations were shared internationally.
(2) Outcome measurement
Following the completion of her PhD, Amanda and her co-researchers were awarded a grant from the Ramsay Research Foundation, to develop a standard set of outcome measures to evaluate participation in rehabilitation. An investigation into the responsiveness of these outcome measures was completed at one rehabilitation hospital. This led to work at a national level to implement the set of outcome measures across 32 Ramsay Health Care (RHC) hospitals currently providing rehabilitation services. Standard outcome measure data across all health domains is now being collected for every patient completing rehabilitation at RHC, improving the health care systems and clinical practice.
(3) Evidence based rehabilitation
Amanda is passionate about research with direct clinical application. She has a strong commitment to enabling clinicians to understand and use evidence in their clinical practice. This is demonstrated through her publications and conference presentations. With significant experience in the clinical setting and involvement in conducting research in a clinical setting, Amanda appreciates the support required for clinicians to use and develop evidence through research and is well placed to supervise higher degree research.

Queer Sh*t to Watch This Week
A Judy tribute, a queer John Lennon, and the end of an "Arrow."
by Lawrence Ferber 10/15/2019
NewNowNext spotlights the latest (and queerest) movies, TV shows, web series, and other LGBTQ shit for your viewing pleasure in our weekly watch list. Grab your popcorn, squirrel friends!
By the Grace of God
Gay French director François Ozon tackles pedophilia and the Catholic Church with his most engaging, urgent work yet. Based on the real-life case of a cardinal (played here by François Marthouret) who helped enable and cover up decades of abuse by a pedophile priest (Bernard Verley), this thinly veiled dramatization follows a group of adult victims who band together in pursuit of justice through both the church and the courts before the 30-year statute of limitations runs out. The actual victims collaborated with Ozon on the film, and provided many of the letters and communication with the church relayed via voiceovers. Powerful stuff. (Opens October 18, Music Box Films)
With her sister gone missing in Los Angeles, Kansas-based Nina (Catia Ojeda) heads west to investigate her disappearance in this dry, quirky comedy from director Alex Goldberg. Her journey leads to encounters with a sassy queer detective (James Andrew Walsh), a gay could-be-bad-guy Iskander (Marcelo Tubert), and other wacky and horny locals. (Opens October 18, Indie Rights)
DVD and VOD
The Hours and Times
This essential New Queer Cinema title from the early 1990s (file it alongside Todd Haynes' Poison, Gregg Araki's The Living End, and Tom Kalin's Swoon) has been beautifully restored by Oscilloscope Laboratories, Sundance, and UCLA Film & Television Archive. Director Christopher Münch's black-and-white 1992 drama imagines what might have happened when a young John Lennon (Ian Hart, who again played Lennon in 1994's Backbeat) and The Beatles' gay manager, Brian Epstein (David Angus), spent a long weekend together in Barcelona. Speaking of which, here's hoping Bravo's miniseries based on Vivek J. Tiwary's excellent graphic novel about Epstein, The Fifth Beatle, is still in the works. (Now available on Blu-ray, Oscilloscope Laboratories)
Pig Hag
Previously seen in Revry's mockumentary series Gayborhood, Anna Schlegel makes a star turn as Jodie, a lonely, terminally single, zaftig 30-something Guns N' Roses fan whose closest relationship is with a clique of sassy queens including Michael Henry and Pete Zias of the hysterical, bizarre Dumpster Queens YouTube series. After Jodie spends the night with Dustin (Tony Jacksha), a fellow fan she meets at a concert, he ghosts her, sending her into a downward spiral. Will her homo squad be able to give her life again? (Now available on Blu-ray, Gravitas Ventures)
This cult Canadian comedy, about a fictitious rural Ontario town, becomes a Hulu original with its seventh installment, and there's a whole lot of LGBTQ going on within the populace, including lesbian hottie Katy (Michelle Mylett) and bisexual First Nations reservation leader Tanis (Kaniehtiio Horn, a real-life Mohawk). All seasons are now available on Hulu. So binge, queen, binge! (Streaming now on Hulu)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb9YqIqkcN4
The eighth and final season of producer Greg Berlanti's trailblazing, Arrowverse-establishing, LGBTQ-inclusive superhero universe—which revealed last season that Oliver Queen's (Stephen Amell) son, William (Ben Lewis), is gay—will see the return of many characters throughout its run, including gay actor Colton Haynes' Roy Harper, John Barrowman's Malcolm Merlyn, and Katrina Law's lesbian assassin Nyssa al Ghul. Also expect surprise cameos (Matt Ryan's bisexual Constantine, cough, cough) as Arrow goes out with a bang… and quiver. (Premieres October 15 on The CW)
Liberty: Mother of Exiles
Designer Diane Von Furstenberg's efforts to raise money for a new museum that houses the Statue of Liberty's original torch (which was replaced during an extensive renovation) serves as a narrative thread for World of Wonder masterminds Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's fact-filled, briskly paced documentary on the history of the Statch and what it has represented over its 130 or so years. While David Copperfield doesn't share how he made it disappear during a 1983 TV special, there's a lot of fascinating stuff here, including its role in Trump-era immigration-related political actions. (Premieres October 17 on HBO)
https://youtu.be/rWNlrgNNVm4
The OC creator Josh Schwartz's eight-episode adaptation of John Green's 2005 novel stars Charlie Plummer as Miles "Pudge" Halter, a transfer student at an Alabama boarding high school. Be here for This Is Us star Ron Cephas Jones as the school's gay religion teacher, Dr. Hyde. In a scene midway through the series, when Hyde discusses his late partner, you may shed a tear or two. (Premieres October 18 on Hulu)
Sid & Judy
If Renée Zellweger left you thirsty for more of Judy Garland's latter-years goodness (and, well, tragedy), then be there for Showtime's new documentary about the icon and her third husband, Sidney Luft, who produced her major comeback vehicle, 1954's A Star Is Born. With access to a treasure trove of material sourced from Luft's estate, including never-publicly-heard phone recordings and Luft's unpublished memoir (he divorced Garland in 1965 and passed away in 2005), gay director Stephen Kijak takes us both over and under the rainbow. (Premieres October 18 on Showtime)

NEW DELHI: The third round of Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, comprising India, the US, Japan and Australia, since it was revived last November, will be held this week in Singapore on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit (EAS).
Senior officials of the four countries will discuss ways to balance China's growing ambitions in the Indo-Pacific region, share their perspectives on the geopolitics in the region, and emphasise on the centrality of ASEAN for the Quad process, people familiar with the agenda of the meeting told ET.
The US has stepped up its efforts to hedge China in the Indo-Pacific region, even as the two largest economies are engaged in a trade war by slapping tariffs on their imports.
This will be the second Quad meet this year. It will be held at the level of joint secretary. The last round in June, too, was held in Singapore. Then, the four sides had reaffirmed their support for a free, open, prosperous and inclusive Indo-Pacific region and noted their commitment to promote rules-based order.
The four countries had decided to organise a meeting of Quad every six months, sources told ET.
Other formats involving India also include ASEAN countries besides Russia and China, signalling New Delhi's inclusive approach as espoused by PM Modi at the Shangrila Dialogue in June. Modi, who will address the EAS, his fifth since 2014, will also meet some of the regional and world leaders, including US V-P Mike Pence, on the sidelines of the summit.

Reversal of Barrett's esophagus with acid suppression and multipolar electrocoagulation: Preliminary results
R. E. Sampliner, M (Brian) Fennerty, H. S. Garewal
Background: Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma. This study tests the hypothesis that re-injury of the metaplastic epithelium in an acid-controlled environment will result in reversal of Barrett's to squamous epithelium. Methods: Patients with at least 2 cm of Barrett's esophagus were treated with omeprazole, and half the circumference of the Barrett's was treated with multipolar electrocoagulation (MPEC); the other half served as an internal control. After 6 months, the remaining Barrett's esophagus was treated with MPEC. Results: Twenty-four hour esophageal pH of less than 4 averaged 1.8% on a mean dose of 56 mg/day of omeprazole. Ten patients had visual and biopsy elimination of the targeted section of Barrett's esophagus after an average of 2.5 MPEC sessions. The remainder of the Barrett's esophagus is being treated in 9 patients; currently 5 have no evidence of Barrett's. Conclusions: The combination of control of esophageal acid exposure and re-injury of the metaplastic epithelium reverses Barrett's esophagus to squamous epithelium as determined by endoscopy and biopsy.

Jeffery W. Kelly
Jeffery W. Kelly received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986, and performed post-doctoral research at The Rockefeller University in the area of chemistry and biology. After rising through the ranks in the chemistry department at Texas A&M University he joined the Department of Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute in 1997 as the Lita Annenberg Hazen Professor of Chemistry.
Jeffery served as Dean of Graduate Studies and Vice President of Academic Affairs from 2000-2006 and is currently Chair of Molecular and Experimental Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute. His research focuses on the physical basis of protein folding, misfolding and aggregation and the influence of small molecules on these processes in vivo. Dr. Kelly and his research group have studied the synergy between the hydrophobic effect and backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding in β-sheet folding employing side-chain as well as amide-to-ester and amide-to-olefin backbone mutations.
His laboratory is currently exploring the effects of glycosylation on the energetics of protein folding. The group also studies the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and the familial gelsolin and transthyretin-based amyloidoses–publishing over 200 papers in this area to date. Two small molecules discovered by the Kelly laboratory are now being tested in placebo-controlled human clinical trials for the amelioration of peripheral neuropathy caused by amyloidosis. These small molecules selectively bind to the native state of transthyretin and serve as native state kinetic stabilizers–allowing scrutiny of the hypothesis that prevention of amyloidogenesis will ameliorate a neurodegenerative disease. One of these molecules has successfully completed a Phase II/III trial and is expected to receive FDA approval in 2011.
The Kelly Laboratory has also made considerable progress in discerning the biochemical basis of Gaucher's disease, a loss of function misfolding disease. This mechanistic insight has been used to develop small molecule pharmacologic chaperones that could be useful in ameliorating this lysosomal storage disease. Another current focus of the Kelly group is to restore the protein homeostasis capacity that protects us from numerous diseases similar to those mentioned above when we are young utilizing "proteostasis regulators", small molecules that adapt stress responsive signaling pathways to restore normal cellular balance. They have demonstrated the efficacy of this approach in both gain- and loss-of-function diseases.
The Kelly group has also discovered functional amyloid structures in humans, revealing the fine line between pathology and physiology. Kelly has won numerous awards including the American Chemical Society Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award, The Peptide Society Vincent du Vigneaud Award and the Emil Thomas Kaiser Award, the State University of New York at Fredonia Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award, the Protein Society-Dupont Young Investigator Award, The Biophysical Society National Lecturer Award, the Texas A&M University Honors Program Teacher / Scholar Award, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and the Searle Scholar Award, to name only a few.

Does LA have tunnel vision?
Written by Avishay Artsy Nov. 08, 2017 Transportation
DnA tours the construction site of the Downtown Regional Connector, as Elon Musk prepares to dig his own tunnel under Los Angeles.
There is a tunnel currently under construction 60 feet below Little Tokyo. It's an S-shaped tube and it's finished in curving concrete, parallelogram-shaped panels that are so elegantly arranged that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti called it a "sexy tunnel."
The Downtown Regional Connector will link the Expo, Blue and Gold Lines, shuttling passengers directly from Santa Monica to East L.A. or from Long Beach to Pasadena. It's anticipated completion date is December 2021, later than originally projected.
"We ran into some initial complications. As you drill down in a place as complicated as downtown Los Angeles, the amount of pipes and wires and past work that had been done slowed us down a little at the beginning, but now we're on track," Garcetti said.
The tube is being created by a computer controlled machine that drills through the earth and then positions concrete rings in five foot segments. And all this is being done in a way that the project manager says creates very little ground movement.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk and his Boring Company are busy boring his own tunnel.
Musk has complained loudly about his own LA commute and has suggested various concepts for speeding it up. He once told DnA he wanted to put another deck over the 405. Now he is aiming for a "3D" tunnel network in which vehicles would be lowered down onto rails on an electric skate that would then shoot underground at about 130 miles per hour.
"There's no real limit to how many levels of tunnel you can have," Musk explained at a TED Talks event. "You can go much further deep than you can go up… so you can alleviate any arbitrary level of urban congestion with a 3-D tunnel network."

Musk recently tweeted out an image of a stretch of tunnel under the parking lot of his company SpaceX in the city of Hawthorne.
He says it is 500 feet and should be two miles long in three or four months; and adds that it will hopefully stretch the whole 405 north-south corridor from LAX to the 101 in a year or so.
Is it a coincidence that if built — and it's a big if since this project would involve multiple cities and jurisdictions — it would run conveniently near his own home in Bel Air?
A challenge Musk faces is how to get all the dirt out of the tunnel.
"One thing that people don't recognize is the amount of material that's mined. For every foot of advancement on the machine we generate 14 tons of dirt," said Gary Baker, Metro's project manager on the Downtown Regional Connector. "If we're running at 150 feet a day you can imagine how many truckloads of material that is. That's 300 trucks it takes every day to remove the material."
But this is not the only Metro tunnel project in LA. Also in the pipeline are the Crenshaw/LAX Line and two segments of the Purple Line, running from downtown west towards Santa Monica.
"There is a lot of tunneling going on in L.A.," Baker said. "If you're a tunneling contractor, it's a great opportunity to participate in what's really a building boom in Los Angeles, not just underground but above ground."

Mission briefing We have a bit of a problem on our hands with a recently fired employee of ours. He was working as a deep cover agent for us, and now he is threatening to release all the information to DED about what we have been doing. We cannot have this happen. If he does make it to the DED headquarters in Yulai, Caldari Navy will face serious repercussions. Eliminate this threat as soon as possible to ensure that he doesn't get the information to DED agents. I'll put into your way-points where he was last seen. Return here and let me know that he is dead.
1:12pm 2006 Thursday 23rd November 2006 The mercs in stage 2 will continue to spawn, even after the mission is completed. You'll get another fighter or elite fighter every 4 minutes or so.
I went back with Indy lootship. That was bad. Fix those tractor beams to your cruiser instead.
Every merc dropped something. Total drops were an additional 400k ISK from refining or selling the loot. Pretty good for a L2 mission.
6:51am 2006 Thursday 23rd November 2006 Difficult mission for a close range frigate, suggest you go in a different fit - probably a cruiser :) Mercs always leave loot, sometimes nice, but the best part is on the last (very easy) stage - blow the habitation module for likely hardwire implant (you get one at least 80% of the time).

WNY has a long road back from the coronavirus
Revitalizing WNY's battered economy requires bold leadership. Good luck with that.
Reporting, analysis and commentary
by Jim Heaney, editor of Investigative Post
These are tough times, as tough times go. And they're not going away anytime soon.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a dual threat, to both public health and economic well being of the county, Buffalo and Western New York included.
While the coronavirus is under control locally, at least compared with much of the rest of the country, it's going to be a fact of life for quite some time. Yes, there's talk of a vaccine, perhaps by the end of the year. But vaccines typically take five to 10 years to develop and test before they're safe for widespread public use. Anything sooner would be a bonus.
There are, of course, semi-effective means of controlling – not eliminating – the virus. Wearing masks, maintaining social distance, etc. Unfortunately, those efforts have been undermined by Donald Trump and numerous Republican governors, whose actions are exacerbating the crisis and causing needless deaths.
This column first appeared in Buffalo Spree
Then there's the economic cost of the pandemic, which is comparable to the Depression of the 1930s. Buffalo and WNY have been hit especially hard – this spring unemployment hovered at around 25 percent and while the numbers have improved somewhat since then, the structural problems of the regional economy make recovery an especially challenging proposition, and that assumes the pandemic itself recedes.
Yes, I know, we were in the midst of an economic renaissance, or so Governor Cuomo told us. But we weren't, not really, as our growth lagged behind most of the country. And much of that growth was in junk jobs. Investigative Post reported in 2017 that three-quarters of the jobs added to the WNY economy since Cuomo took office in 2010 were in the low-wage sector. Restaurants and bars were the biggest job creators.
It's going to take time for businesses to recover from the pandemic, and many won't survive, including a lot of the aforementioned bars and restaurants. Our weak economic foundation is going to impede the recovery, and our economic development policies aren't geared for the task at hand. (Handouts to politically connected developers and vanity projects like Tesla weren't a good strategy to begin with.)
All this is going to continue to impact life as we know it. Prospects are dim for everything from downtown office space to suburban shopping malls to attending a Bills or Sabres game. Education will change, and there's a good chance you're going to see some private colleges start to close.
There is a change to look forward to, which should help the situation.
Trump faces re-election this November and signs increasingly point to a victory by Joe Biden. That would put the federal government back in the hands of people who value expertise and believe in science, and give America a fighting chance of dealing intelligently with the pandemic – and a host of other problems that Trump and his Republican enablers have foisted on the country. Call it addition by subtraction.
There's a lot of talk about how deeply divided we are as a nation, and there's truth to that. But when you consider demographic trends, the present era might represent the beginning of the end of Trump style politics. Not that it will go away, but its prospects at the ballot box will dim. The population is becoming increasingly diversified and social mores are becoming more and more tolerant. Angry white men don't like it, but that's a fact.
While the political situation could improve nationally, the same can't be said locally. We need smart, bold leadership from our local elected officials and those are not traits commonly found in our political class. More like, go along to get along.
Much like the aftermath of the closing of Bethlehem Steel and other manufacturers in the early 1980s, we need to re-invent our local economy. What's more, we need to address social justice issues that have been laid bare in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd.
Where's the public sector leadership, where's the private sector leadership, to tackle these issues? I don't see it, not in any great abundance, anyway. Not here, and certainly not in Albany.
Face it, our governance, locally and across New York, amounts to a failed state. The 105 cities, towns, villages and school districts that populate Erie and Niagara counties largely function as a jobs program for the political class. Key public institutions, starting with the Buffalo Board of Education, are captive to special interests who care little for the well being of those they're supposed to serve.
We need an overhaul, folks, and I'm not at all confident we're going to do much more than muddle along.

Rodriguez Group president in police custody
Alexandre Rodriguez, president of French yacht builder the Rodriguez Group, is being held for questioning by French police following an operation concerning organised crime in Marseilles at the weekend, according to reports in the French press.
A total of 21 arrests are understood to have been made in the Alpes-Maritimes region of France. Arrests on Saturday took place on a yacht believed to belong to the Rodriguez Group.
Rodriguez is reportedly suspected of "associating with people believed to be criminals".
The Rodriguez Group declined to comment. The group's shares have been suspended from the stock exchange in anticipation of a statement from the company.
The Rodriguez Group exited a year of bankruptcy protection in April 2010. Last year Italian superyacht brand Leopard Yacht ended a 33-year collaboration with the Rodriguez Group.
With its head office in Cannes, the Rodriguez Group offers custom built luxury yachts and yachts up to 50m (165ft) under the Mangusta brand.

Whether you already decided to plunge into the modern financial world or simply feel oats in digital merchantry, you definitely might want to define the best cryptocurrency exchange. Not an easy task, really! However, so many services bombard you with their tips that it must be a piece of cake. Unlike other platforms, we don't offer promises. Before you stick to someone's words about UK bitcoin exchange, we suggest you to thoroughly analyse the marketplaces, applied fees and then choose where to buy bitcoin in the UK. This is why you might find this page useful and informative since we've made a profound research for you.
Before coming to a decision, ponder over the safeness of a merchandise venue, ensuring that they implement all required safety measures on the website as well on the server. Don't fall for the bitcoin price right away. There are a lot more key points to look for when considering the best cryptocurrency exchange. In our reviewed positions, we've included clear data on bitcoin UK tradesmen, pairs of currencies available, altcoins, government-issued values, and suchlike relevant data to help you get abreast of the leading exchanges in the United Kingdom.
For your convenience, the bitcoin exchange UK list was ranked by the trust score and votes. Ratings are put for the top-positioned boards. You also can check how friendly the venue is when defining its suitability. The higher the rank, the more beneficial it looks for the all players. However, you might want to compare the peers to see the difference in featured offerings. Consult the page whenever you have any concerns.
How to get bitcoins in the UK?
Luckily, the sheer number of trading places have been analysed for you and the outline on the leaders is provided above. The described details on every made suggestion for you will ensure you gain an understanding of where to buy BTC and how to process BTC to UK wallets without risking your earnings. You are free to opt for any payment method from Paypal, credit card, to transfer via bank and even use cash. Bear in mind that it's better to store your virtual coins offline once you get them rather than online. Therefore, you can choose the 'cold' or 'hot' way to collect funds. Here are the e-wallets for your consideration. By transferring your digital units from 'cold' to 'hot' storage back and forward, you will be secured. Though, remember to maintain safely your wallet's keys so that all sums aren't put at risk.
What is the most rewarding UK bitcoin exchange?
While it is still difficult to provide an exact answer to this question, we attempted to simplify your choice of the cryptocurrency exchange platform by revealing the pros and cons of the listed websites. By looking through them, you will get an idea of bitcoin security and how it is maintained. This is the core for your future success. For instance, CryptoGo's rating for the reliability is above average. This stock market change is evidently the best place to buy bitcoin in the UK since thousands of traders trust it. Moving on with the consequent benefits, one should check out the coins performance on this marketplace, ensuring that they trade with various virtual items and checking if there's an option to pay with physical values. Actually, here you can use a credit card and bank transfer to pay. For more details, you simply click on. In any case, it's easy to determine whether the option is suitable for you or not.
Which exchanges are the biggest in the United Kingdom?
Obviously, you'll see the answer right off since the resulted chart puts the largest venues up. In this respect, Coinbase, Coinmama and BitPanda are in the headlines. Make sure to review the rates and variety of volumes on a daily basis. You may also consult the world capitalization market such as coinkapp and their proportional stats for comparison purpose.
Regretfully, some worldwide buy-and-sell spots fail to preserve their first-rate services (i.e. altcoins) and provide users with the expected value. That's how other peers obtain opportunities to outrank them in the global charts of the best cryptocurrency exchange. This happened to famous Cryptsy upon the demise. Conversely, the majority of the British trading crypto-spots are of medium size, which works a lot more beneficial than the large ones. Mainly because the broader the UK bitcoin exchange, the greater the likelihood that it will be disabled eventually. Note it when you opt for any you fancy. Despite the fact that big ones stand out in front of millions of traders due to amazing features they include, one should always test the waters before jumping in and trade a whaling sum.
Where users buy bitcoin cash in the UK?
You've probably heard that non-physical money brings sound profits. The crème of the crop is low fees and secure confirmations. But here's the thing: it's important to know where to operate with BCH and how to review the bitcoin price on the Internet. Essentially, you won't go far without the safety matter. That's to say: though the BTC protocols haven't been hacked, there are cases of the peripheral business that often deals with the issue. Evidently, it's easier to define the least trustworthy markets than to estimate the reliability of others. Now, if you are looking for the top bitcoin currencies on the websites with the most privilege and voting, you are far more likely to hit the proper place. The leaders like Coinfloor and CEX might worth your consideration. They seem to be geared for active merchants and less for small investors. LocalBitcoins is yet another trader in the UK suitable for purchase with physical money. Plus, it's terrific for the newbies wanting to join the community of merchants. Well, you surely will find plenty of choices where you can buy bitcoin cash on UK places. For more ways to begin with, examine the listing above.
To improve your decision-making, keep on tracking the latest updates and the sites' news as to regulations, pricing, and highest volumes. Take advantage of our page to consistently overview the #1 UK-registered bitcoins trades.

Motorcyclist Dies In Collision With Pickup Truck
CASCO, Maine (AP) — Authorities in Maine say a motorcyclist has died in a collision with a pickup truck.
The Cumberland County Sheriff's office says 52-year-old Robert Hollingshead, of Poland, Maine, was traveling north on Route 11 on his motorcycle Wednesday afternoon. The driver of a pickup truck approaching an intersection had stopped at a stop sign, but then proceeded into the intersection and collided with Hollingshead, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver, 80-year-old Everett Davis, of Gray, Maine, was taken to Maine Medical Center for minor injuries. A passenger in the truck wasn't hurt.
Police are investigating the crash.

Decentralization - Not Privatization - is the Heart of Success in Afghanistan
How will we know when we've succeeded in Afghanistan?
There will likely never be a surrender of the Taliban and it is unlikely the Taliban can be destroyed.
Nor will the Taliban likely overrun Afghanistan's major cities as they did in the late 1990s. The current situation is a strategic stalemate that is not likely to end soon. In many ways this is a "for profit" war. The Taliban is in the black regarding the drug trade and the Afghan government does nicely on US and international aid. A near-term peace deal is unlikely.
So, what is success? Afghanistan is no longer a safe sanctuary for international jihadists. Even the Taliban leadership recognizes that outfits like al Qaeda and ISIS represent a foreign threat more serious than NATO forces. That accounts for the first coalition objective in the war. Second, Afghanistan is a functioning - if very imperfect - democracy. As far as I can tell, that was the second original objective. What we have not achieved yet is an Afghan army and air force that can operate independent of American and NATO support. By all reports, the Afghan armed forces are getting better progressively, but until they can operate without US air and logistic support, the job remains incomplete.
This brings us to the proposal made by Erik Prince, the former CEO of Blackwater Security, to privatize the American portion of the war effort. There are areas of modern military operations where contracting makes good sense, but having contractors take over the combat related portions of the Afghan conflict would be counterproductive to the effort to totally "Afghanize" the war as the Afghans might well indefinitely decide to "let John do it" for the most dangerous missions.
There is merit to the Prince proposal in several areas. The areas where the Afghans still fall short are in maintenance and logistics, particularly in the air force. But ground and air delivered logistics are inherently linked in Afghanistan. In the areas most disputed between the Taliban and the government. Most supplies to security forces on the ground, including the police, must be delivered by air due to poor or non-existent road networks.
The use of contractors for training in these areas might well be less expensive and more efficient than using active duty troops, but the way it is done must carefully thought out. Without metrics for measuring progress toward self-sufficiency in all areas, the contracting effort could become yet another proverbial "self-licking ice cream cone" in a forever war with the Afghans never being declared quite ready to take total control. There is a need for rewards for exceeding training time-lines and penalties for falling behind what is written into any contract.
Military improvements, alone, will not lead to a final government victory in the war. This conflict will not have a militarily driven end-state. Insurgencies end in the government's favor in two ways. Either the insurgents are annihilated, as was the case in Sri Lanka and in the Bar Kochba uprising in ancient Israel, or the government successfully addresses the root causes of the insurgency. The Taliban aren't going to be eradicated for reasons already mentioned. However, most Afghans - including Pashtuns - reject the more extreme versions of Taliban religious governance.
The insurgency continues to have some support outside hard core Taliban strongholds because the central government simply cannot deliver expected basic governmental services outside main urban areas due to poor transportation and communications networks. Iraq's government can manage a highly centralized system because it has a relatively mature transportation and communications infrastructure; but even Iraq is challenged in insurgency situations. The key to long term success in Afghanistan is providing good governance at the provincial and local levels, and this can only be accomplished by decentralization.
If Afghanistan could elect provincial and district governors and allocate local resources to them locally, they would become directly accountable to the people. This, in turn, would make the general population feel that they really do have a stake in their government. In a real democracy, some of these locally elected officials might be Taliban. So be it. If they can't produce, they will be thrown out of office. If people think they have a real say in their government, they have bought into it. It is analogous to a Mongolian Bar-B-Que; it is hard to complain about the food if you prepared the meal.
Perhaps the greatest thing that the American State Department could do for Afghanistan would be to bring members of the legislature and other key government officials to the United States and allow them to see the real impact of state and local governance in action. Showing them the effectiveness of local governance and democracy in places like Alaska and Montana might well convince them that decentralization could work better for them than the present system. Perhaps that would encourage decentralization. Tip O'Neill was right, all politics is local - and so is the heart of most insurgencies.

Among the most typical electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a switch. Though employing switches in your own home is fairly uncomplicated, wiring 1 may well not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly frequent switch (and also the simplest).
You'll find three hues of wires inside of a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - a single on best and also the other about the bottom screw of the change. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted power and is also normally linked to some gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the green wire to your ground screw of the change.
These actions would usually be sufficient to help make a normal switch work without having a dilemma. Nonetheless, for those who are certainly not assured that you just can achieve the endeavor properly and safely you much better allow the professionals do it as an alternative. Right after all, you can find a rationale why this task is probably the most typical electrical wiring questions questioned by plenty of people.
For many cause, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is also certainly one of by far the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this endeavor, you can use one swap to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the fan, it is only a issue of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan on the black wire of your switch. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire must be connected into the black wire on the change as well.
There are actually good reasons why these are typically quite possibly the most generally requested electrical wiring queries. Just one, numerous imagine it truly is basic to perform, and two, these are definitely the widespread electrical jobs at your house. But then you really should not set your safety at risk as part of your purpose to save money. The stakes could even be significantly higher should you try and save money and do an electrical wiring work without the need of ample knowledge or expertise.

Turner joins Holden, Wilson as head football…
Turner joins Holden, Wilson as head football coaches/ADs
By Matt O'Donnell | modonnell@timesheraldonline.com | Vallejo Times Herald
PUBLISHED: August 13, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
It depends on the time of the year, but Benicia High School athletic director Craig Holden may receive between 40 and 50 phone calls per day related to his job.
In addition, he may receive another dozen e-mails he must respond to in a timely manner.
He oversees 23 varsity sports and 51 total programs, which includes all of the junior varsity and freshman teams.
Holden is the Solano County Athletic Conference representative for football, wrestling and girls golf. And yes, he"s also the head varsity football and wrestling coach.
Bethel head football coach Jeff Turner expects to have his life turned upside down this fall as he becomes the Jaguars" new athletic director. Tony Ramos was Bethel"s first and only athletic director when the school first opened its doors in the fall of 1998. He stepped down last spring.
In fact, Turner"s job essentially started this summer. Recently he and his family took a three-day vacation and he turned off his cell phone. When he turned it back on, there were 25 messages related to the job.
"I signed up for it; it was something I always wanted to do," Turner said. "I enjoy Bethel and I believe in our program and I believe in our school."
Turner said the aspect of the job he"s not looking forward to is "being away from his family."
Holden said family is still his top concern. He has an 11-year-old and a 2-year-old, and of course, a very understanding wife.
"My family knows that my life revolves around sports," Holden said. "My wife and my kids attend every (football) game. I coach my son"s teams too, so it"s not like I"m missing anything."
Vallejo High head football and track coach Mike Wilson took on the athletic director duties in the fall of 2009 when Tami Madson was promoted to assistant principal.
"I"m still kind of a new at it, so for me it"s still hard, although this year is already easier than when I took over last year," he said. "Tami walked me through a lot of it. In the fall, there"s a lot with football and all of the other sports. It"s not an easy job."
Holden and Wilson agreed that the spring is a tough time of the year because of the number of sports. Holden added that helping facilitate makeup dates for rainouts can also be cumbersome.
Unlike Holden and Turner, Wilson"s children are grown. In fact, his son Michael Wilson III teaches at Vallejo and is an assistant football and track coach.
"You could say this is the family business," Mike Wilson mused.
Turner will rely on others like Ramos or Holden when he has a question about his job. He and Holden went over how to schedule referees for soccer games earlier this week.
Ramos said after 37 years of education, he was a little tired and wanted to explore other possibilities. Ramos mentioned that one of the biggest challenges at Bethel was the lack of adequate athletic facilities. He hopes that will change in future years with Hogan closing after this school year and the need to accommodate more student-athletes.
"(Tony) was relentless; he was tireless," Turner said. "I really have some big shoes to fill. I don"t know how I"m going to do it but I still plan to put my family first and my school second."
Holden said the important thing to remember is that others play a big part in making sure he"s successful as an athletic director. He relies heavily on his assistant football coaches to run practice if he can"t be there and lets the offensive and defensive coordinators do their jobs.
Turner said he"s always had that same kind of system but he expects that his assistants will take on even larger roles this fall.
"They all know," he said. "I"m very fortunate that I"ve had assistants who I"ve worked with for a long time. They have the routine and the system down."
Holden said he has an open-door policy as far as complaints from athletes, coaches, parents … whoever.
"My cell phone number is available. If they have a problem getting ahold of me that way, I get back to them by e-mail. Essentially, you"re on call 24 hours."
Holden has been on the job for five years and he feels more comfortable with the duties every year.
"Sometimes you"re dealing with a game that may have upwards of 1,000 fans and you don"t want to mess that up," Holden said. "That"s why there are plenty of sleepless nights. You want to make sure you do it right."

Permits Filed For 1801 Memphis Street in Fishtown, Kensington
1801 Memphis Street via Google Maps
By: Thomas Koloski 7:00 am on September 2, 2020
Permits have been filed for a residential building at 1801 Memphis Street in Fishtown. Located at the angled corner of Memphis Street and East Montgomery Avenue, the lot is a few blocks east of the Berks station of the Market-Frankford SEPTA line. James Duffy is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed building will stand three stories, matching the height of the two flanking rowhouses. The structure will also include a basement and a roof deck, which will likely provide views of the city. The surrounding blocks abound with small shops and eateries.
Demolition will not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
