JAMESTOWN — The Greeneview High School football team gathered around the victory bell at Don Nock Field, clanging it back-and-forth with the student section behind them — the Rams were finally champions.
Greeneview quarterback Cole DeHaven rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown and threw for another touchdown as the Rams beat Greenon 28-14 to win their first Ohio Heritage Conference South Division Championship since 2018.
"The celebration is for the kids," said Rams coach Ryan Haines. "They got us here. They deserve it. They deserve to go over there and right that victory bell, they deserve the hugs from the student section that ran over here. They're the ones that put us here."
Senior Trevor Stewart rushed for 213 yards and a touchdown for Greenon, which finished the regular season 6-3 and 4-1 in the OHC South.
"We shot ourselves in the foot," Greenon coach Josh Wooten said. "Good teams are able to overcome that and good opponents are able to capitalize on it and that's what they did. Hat's off to Coach Haines and their kids and his staff. It's tough when you don't play your best and hopefully things fall our way and we get an opportunity to get in the playoffs."
After starting the season 1-4, the Rams (6-4) have won six straight games and finished a perfect 5-0 in the division.
"Our kids come in every day and get on the practice field and take coaching," Haines said. "That's what will turn 1-4 into where we're at tonight."
On the second play of the game, Greeneview's William Reichley returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown to give the Rams an early 7-0 lead.
Greenon responded with a 78-yard drive, scoring on a 1-yard run by Stewart to tie the game at 7-7. Greenon's Clay Hough intercepted a pass on the Rams next drive and the Kaden Wooten scored on a 10-yard run on the first play of the second quarter to put Greenon up 14-7.
On its next drive, Greeneview tied the score at 14 when DeHaven found freshman Ashtan Hendricks on a 5-yard TD pass.
Greeneview took a 21-14 lead on a 4-yard run by DeHaven following a mishandled punt snap by Greenon.
Greeneview scored on a 10-yard run by Rylan Hurst on the second play of the fourth quarter to take a 28-14 lead. Greenon drove deep into Greeneview territory twice in the final five minutes, but were unable to put points on the board.
Greenon hopes it did enough during the regular season to qualify for the Division V, Region 20 playoffs. Greenon is likely to finish in the top-16 and could finish as the 13th or 14th seed, according to JoeEitel.com's unofficial playoff rankings. The official playoff pairings will be released by the Ohio High School Athletic Association on Sunday afternoon.
"We'll let Joe crunch the numbers," Josh Wooten said. "He's a lot better at it than I am. That's probably why I'm an elementary teacher. We'll find out Sunday and we'll get ready if we're fortunate enough to get in."
The Rams likely did enough to host a first-round playoff game in D-VI, Region 24. They're currently projected to finish eighth in the region, according to JoeEitel.com's unofficial rankings.
"Hopefully we get a nice bump out of this," Haines said. "It's a bonus game under the lights on a Saturday night in Ohio high school football, that's just where it's at."

Philip Cross: Statscan's latest report shows how badly our governments demolished business investment
Investment has fallen steadily since 2014, with a total decline of almost 18 per cent, making it one of the weakest in the G7
Capital spending plans in the conventional oil and gas industry also show a significant decline of seven per cent, confirming the stories that drilling rigs are heading south to the more hospitable U.S. investment climate.Postmedia News
Special to Financial Post
There is no clearer sign that Canada's long-term economic prospects are diminishing than yet another drop in business-investment intentions. But that's exactly the dismal news delivered by Statistics Canada's annual survey, released Wednesday. The steady erosion of business investment in the country, even as it strengthens in the U.S., offers a blanket condemnation of our federal and provincial policy trajectories.
Investment in Canada has fallen steadily since 2014, with a total decline of almost 18 per cent. Once the strongest in the G7, it has been the weakest over the past four years. This latest decline will surprise the Bank of Canada, whose own most-recent survey revealed "broad-based positive investment intentions" returning investment "back to near post-recession highs." Why are the two reports so different? The Bank of Canada's covers 100 firms; Statcan's includes about 25,000.
Alberta led the decline in investment. Some of the weakness reflects the winding up of several oilsands projects that made investment there appear slightly better than it should have. Now that they're complete and no new plants are coming, oilsands investment is at its lowest level on record, below even the worst of the 2009 recession. More revealing is that capital spending plans in the conventional oil and gas industry also show a significant decline of seven per cent, confirming the stories that drilling rigs are heading south to the more hospitable U.S. investment climate.
Investment plans in B.C.'s oil and gas industry also fell, as governments endlessly delay the approval of projects ranging from LNG terminals on the west coast to pipelines to export energy overseas. Instead of being a source of strength, spending on pipelines in Canada will fall by nearly $1 billion in 2018, which is a national disgrace. Meanwhile, investment spending by the oil and gas industry in the U.S. has been helping lead their recovery of business investment. As a result, the U.S. is poised to become the world's largest oil producer in 2019 while Canadians are stuck endlessly and pointlessly debating the existential meaning of fossil fuels.
The steady erosion of business investment is a blanket condemnation of our policies
And in Central Canada, business investment, having declined last year, plans to stay there — flat. Firms remain reluctant to invest in Ontario, which is hardly surprising given the array of government policies that signal its indifference if not outright hostility to the business community. The only pockets of strength were government-directed increases in utilities and urban transit, which in Statcan's classification appear in the business sector. Ontario's total investment numbers were inflated by an 11-per-cent surge in government capital spending as the Wynne administration tries putting lipstick on Ontario's investment pig during an election year. The Quebec government is adopting exactly the same tactic as it too prepares to face the electorate, proof that bribing people with their own money never goes out of political fashion. For the same reason, expect a sudden flood of federal government infrastructure investment in 2019.
There are other signs, beyond just investment, of a worsening climate for business in Canada compared with the U.S. Since October 2016, the Toronto Stock Exchange has lagged U.S. stocks by 25 per cent. Partly, that reflects the negative impact of policies hindering resource development in Canada: Our oil sector trails U.S. oil stocks as the discount for Canadian oil widened in the absence of new pipelines. But technology stocks are not taking up the slack, remaining a very small part of the Toronto market compared with their huge presence on U.S. exchanges. Canada's economy remains shaped by our historic comparative advantages in long-distance transportation, communications, finance, conventional energy and resource-based manufacturing. Only politicians and special interest groups are capable of deluding themselves into believing these can simply be replaced by technology and green energy.
It's as naïve as that other fantasy that followed the election of Justin Trudeau: That being slightly cool and not being Donald Trump was enough to make Canada attractive to both immigrants and capital. That never panned out; there has been no flood of disenchanted skilled workers from the U.S. to Canada, but capital is flowing the other way. Turns out both people and firms make very practical calculations about where to locate. After-tax incomes and the freedom to innovate count for more than political virtue signals.
The continuing slump in business investment is important for a number of reasons. Obviously, it depresses current spending in the economy and limits job growth. In the longer term, it reduces potential growth and long-term productivity gains. Most importantly, in the current economic environment, persistent weakness in investment means that the Bank of Canada cannot wean the economy from its addiction to debt-fuelled growth in household and government demand by shifting to exports and business investment.
Making this shift from debt-dependent spending is one condition the Bank of Canada wants before it feels it can safely begin to normalize interest rates. The longer it takes, and the longer the bank waits to raise interest rates, the greater the risks that Canada's debt will continue to grow, increasing the downside risks when rates rise or credit availability declines. The Bank of Canada must have been relieved to hear from its own surveys that business investment was improving. It should worry now.

Included in this portion is the making of utensils and other dishes to be used in the presentation of offerings. The sacrifices were what they owed God to make up for their sin, but an offering was to show thanks. It comes out of a grateful heart, not grudgingly. In this time of year, let us be ever grateful for all the gifts God has given us, and let that gratitude flow out toward others as well.

← The Sweet Taste of Wine
November sky →
The Long Walk Home – Samhain 2010
Wind blew through bare branches as we made our way home from the dinner party. Our bellies full of rich food and drink, we walked through fallen, drying leaves kicking up their pungent smell around us. The road was of packed dirt and had a whitish glow in the moonlight. Five girls in costume, we'd been to a halloween party and were walking to Cassie's house, were we planned to spend the night.
"I thought the mummy costume was fantastic," Mona said, wobbling in her high-heeled boots. "Yeah, and the werewolf was incredible," Cassie said. "Who was that, anyway?" Noone knew. "He was tall. I didn't recognize him," she added.
We rounded a bend in the road and just caught sight of a large dog as it bounded into the bushes along the road, it's bushy tail a tawny silver color. We gazed ahead, and a cold wind blew against our faces. The sounds of our boots on the road seemed amplified. Trees swayed, creaking.
"Wow," said Robin. "It's creepy here."
It was creepy.
"Halloween night, girls!" shrieked Kate, letting out her best mad scientist laugh and spinning around in the moonlight, her arms held up in the air above her head. We all laughed half-heartedly. The woods surrounded us and stretched on ahead into blackness. Kate seemed to be the only one us that wasn't scared.
Just then, there was howling, first from the spot in the road the dog had been, and then a chorus of yips and bays joined the first howl, seeming to surround us.
We stopped in the road, spooked. And as suddenly as it started, the howling stopped.
We gazed at each other in stunned silence. Kate was the first to speak. "That was crazy," she said, trying to sound cavalier. But her voice was unsteady. None of us answered her. But at the sound of her voice, a figure stepped from the side of the road. He seemed to come from nowhere.
"Kate. It's been a long time," he said, smiling and gazing across the road at her. She froze, and then slowly, her head shaking no, began to back away from the stranger. He advanced, holding out a hand to her. "Darling don't you recognize me?" he asked with a quizzical grin. His voice had an echo, but his tone and manner were warm, solicitous.
"No," was all Kate said, continuing to back toward the other side of the road.
"Kate, who is it?" I asked. The stranger kept coming, moving toward us with his hand out toward Kate.
"No!" she screamed this time. "It's not possible …." she whimpered.
"Kate," I asked again – "Kate for the love of God who is he?" I demanded, the pitch of my voice rising. The other girls all stood stock still, mesmerized by the scene unfolding in front of them.
"You can't be here…" she whimpered, reaching the side of the road now, her boots sinking into a bed of leaves, twigs cracking under her weight.
"Darling, I know it's been a long time, but it's really me – I've come back for you," he advanced quickly toward her now, circling her waist with his arm and stepping forward into the trees and bushes that stood behind her. "I'm taking you home," we heard him say, as they disappeared into the woods, Kate in his arms.
We stood staring after them. Moonlight shone on bare trunks and limbs, the forest floor a carpet of leaves shining in the moonlight. We could see clearly by moonlight into the woods, past low brush and fallen trees. We could see clearly that Kate was gone.

Q: Transform an HttpWebResponse to an object c# I'm pretty new on programming, so please keep that in mind when seeing my post.
I'm using this code to get an response from an webserver (I'm not hosting the server):
        var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

        var postData = "user=user";
        postData += "&ordernr[]=1234234";
        postData += "&ordernr[]=23425";
        var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);

        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        request.ContentLength = data.Length;

        using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
        }

        var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

        var responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();

        return responseString;

The string that I receive
{
    "Transport":{
    "New York": "Bus",
    "Miami": "Airplane"
    }
}

I want to translate this to an object, so I can read out city and what sort or transport.
How do I do that ?


We are living in a time were shared responsibility has become a larger part of our lives whether we want to admit it or not. In doing so, everyone will have to do more than they did in the past if we are to survive. The days of one person or a few people carrying the load is over as it's unfair.
Quiet as it is kept, some like to do for others and they enjoy doing so. I believe they will continue to do so when they can but there will be less of them doing this good gesture deed.
However, there is also a large group of us who no longer have the same resources to provide the help like we have done in the past. As a result, if everyone chips in and do their part in handling their responsibilities going forward we will be okay and that's the formula that we must all adopt.
This applies to our money stumbling blocks, which have put so many of us behind so badly that hope for tomorrow has evaded us. It also applies to our non-monetary problems, where the emotional challenges of dealing with everyday problems have brought on more anxiety than we are able to handle. Trying to make it from one day to the next has become more difficult than it has ever been.
But, contrary to these tough times, I have good news for you. We can overcome these obstacles all we need to do is to use a different strategy. All we have to do is to join together and work as one unit, as this has worked before and it can happen again.
The economy is on the verge of bouncing back from the financial crisis that we were in a few years back and this something positive to look forward to. However, as good as things are looking up, there are still too many people who have not recovered from that financial mess and if you are in that group, things are still rough.
However, now that the presidential election is over a new direction will take place in the oval office and we all have to move on. Trying to complain that things are unfair is not going to help us now. To be honest, the change in Washington is going to have a major impact on all of us in one way or another so let's get ready.
As the new changes in the presidential office unfold there are many of us who don't have a clue on what to expect going forward. There is also a large group of people who are scared because their future is uncertain and that is an uncomfortable position to be in.
However, as a person who has personally been through a similar political bombshell in the 1970's where the financial status of the country was in jeopardy, let me share my story of what I went through at that time. Hopefully, you can learn something from my experience in handling that difficult situation which mirrors what is happening today.
In the 70's, President Nixon requested the country's large organizations to freeze the salaries for their employees for a period of two years to allow the country to get back on solid financial footing. This move was initiated in an effort to halt the high inflation which was totally out of control in the country. ( interest rates were at 15% today it is 3.5%) All the goods and services were very high at that time and the President was trying to get things back under control before the nation imploded financially.
I recalled this moment with some clarity as I was due to receive a big bump in my salary for working many nights to help the Wall Street firm, where I worked cleaning up their backlog in stock market trade orders. When my boss told me that they wanted to pay me more but couldn't because of the mandate that was put in place by President Nixon I was not a happy camper. Obviously, I didn't take this response well but since everyone was in the same situation and I couldn't complain.
Once I got home I called a family meeting consisting of my siblings and my parents to discuss this matter. We collectively agreed that each of us would take one task to resolve to help. In using this approach it would minimize the load and allow us to tackle a different responsibility. Our thinking was that if each of us did our part we would reach our goal.
One person took the electric bill, the rent bill,( brothers moved in together) my mother took over the babysitting duties, my brother started giving driving lessons after work, my sister helped people preparing their taxes and so on. However, we did not share the food bill, as my siblings can eat a lot so we knew that this wouldn't be fair.
In using this shared process we were able to cut our expenses substantially. Working together also turned out to be a side benefit that we didn't expect. In seeing the savings that we were able to make from this sharing process we were able to buy a house. After buying the first house we had the financial leverage to buy another house and another one after that. We discovered that once we started working together and each person did their "share" there was nothing that we couldn't do.
After the two-year period was over, my company did give me a bump in salary. They also promoted me as I used that sharing process of working together at home, I also used it at my job. In doing so we were able to complete departmental goals ahead of the company's projections. After exceeding the company's goal I received another bump in salary and that was also terrific.
The lesson that I learned from that 1070's crisis was that you can get through these difficult times but it's tough doing it without getting help. In electing to break down the responsibilities into parts and allow each member of your "group" to do their share of the responsibility, we were able to be successful. However, when you break down the responsibilities make sure that you give the person the parts that they are capable of performing, as it makes it easier.
The process that I liked the best was that once that we learned that we could work together smoothly that is when we were able to move forward. In succeeding on that project it also worked on other initiatives that we worked on which helped us all. If that worked for me I'm sure that it could also work for you and your "team" as well. At the end of the day, there's tremendous power when you do something sharing the load, and if you do the same you also will be okay.

Love At Isolation Centre: Discharged Patient Ignores Father, Goes Home With Soldier
There was a mild drama at the Oyo state Infectious Disease Centre on Saturday when a young woman refused to follow her father home after she was discharged from the isolation centre.The graduate of statistics from a school in the state was among the 20 people discharged from the centre after they were treated for COVID-19.When TheCable visited the isolation centre, which is located in Olodo area of Ibadan, relatives of those who were to be discharged were outside the gate waiting anxiously for their loved ones.An official of the centre, who preferred anonymity, told TheCable that the patients were allowed to go home after testing negative for the coronavirus."They were here for different duration of time. Some of them had spent more than four weeks at the centre receiving treatment. They were discharged after our medical team confirmed that they had tested negative for the virus," he said.Among those waiting for their loved ones was a pastor who is the father of the young woman.He told TheCable that his daughter began exhibiting a wayward attitude after graduating from school."She is my second child but after her graduation from the school of statistics, she refused to come home. I only got to know that she had been isolated at the centre through a relative she confided in. I am a man of God and I will continue to pray for her," he said.The drama began after the young woman opted to follow a soldier who came to pick her with a motorcycle.The father approached the soldier but after about five minutes of discussion, the lady was taken away on the motorcycle while her father left the centre in annoyance.TheCable gathered that the soldier was admitted to the isolation centre, but got discharged after recovering from the disease."The soldier the girl followed home was one of the three soldiers at the isolation centre when the girl was on admission," a discharged patient who did not want to be named told TheCable."Before the soldier was discharged, he and the girl were very close. They mingled together."Among those discharged were aged men and women, and a student of the University of Ibadan.Some of the discharged patients told TheCable that they were happy to reunite with their families after receiving a clean bill of health.

Sperm donor or dad? Thai ruling stands

A man who fathered triplets through assisted conception methods in Thailand must financially support them from the U.S. after a Cook County judge properly recognized the foreign court's parentage judgment, a state appeals panel ruled.
The father — identified as Harlow H. in the panel's unpublished order — argued the absence of a legal marriage between him and the children's mother — identified as Wipaporn T. — makes him nothing more than a sperm donor who is entitled to protection from such judgments through the state's Parentage Act.
But the 1st District Appellate Court affirmed Cook County Circuit Judge Jeanne R. Cleveland Bernstein's order to enroll the foreign judgment, finding it is not contrary to Illinois public policy and he had a full opportunity to defend his case in Thailand.
Paul L. Feinstein, owner of Paul L. Feinstein Ltd. who represented the mother on appeal, said he is pleased with the court's decision because it will provide essential support for children who had no choice in the way they were conceived.
"The bottom line is, in Illinois we try and protect kids," he said. "These kids were created in an interesting fashion and they had no say in it, and they are entitled to support from their father, and I think that's the bottom line. He had the opportunity to make all the claims that he did, and they've been decided."
But Enrico J. Mirabelli, a partner at Beermann Pritikin Mirabelli Swerdlove LLP who represents Harlow, said the issue is not about support — it's specifically about whether his client can be named the children's legal father.
"A parent-child relationship could not have been established under Illinois law. Therefore, because Thailand established that relationship, we believe it was error for the Illinois court to accept that finding," he said. "Whether or not the Illinois court could grant support in absence of the establishment of a parent-child relationship is still an open issue, pursuant to the holding in (In re Parentage of M.J.)."
Harlow — a U.S. citizen who was married to an American woman — worked in Thailand as an economic analyst from 2001 to 2009. He and Wipaporn began a personal relationship in 2001, and the two participated in a traditional Thai wedding ceremony in 2004. The two never legally registered their marriage.
After encountering conception issues, Harlow and Wipaporn agreed to try conception through gamete intrafallopian transfer using his sperm. Harlow consented to the procedure in writing and signed a consent form on the line marked "husband."
The successful procedure led to the birth of three sons in November 2008. Harlow supported the mother and children financially until September 2009.
Wipaporn subsequently filed a lawsuit against Harlow in Thailand seeking to establish parentage and obtain both child and educational support from him. Though Harlow never appeared in that court personally, he was represented by counsel who filed an appearance, exhibits and a memorandum contending Illinois law prevents such judgments from being imposed on him.
He also argued before the Thai trial court that he and his wife had been married and living together for 19 years, he did not father the three boys, did not have sexual intercourse with Wipaporn during her fertile period, was deceived into thinking he fathered the children and never underwent fertility treatment with their mother.
Wipaporn, though, presented photo evidence to the court of their 2004 wedding and reception along with the consent form Harlow signed to undergo the procedure and DNA test results that showed him as the boys' biological father.
The Thai court entered an order in December 2010 finding Harlow was the children's legal father and awarded Wipaporn child and educational support.
Thailand's appellate court affirmed the judgment in June 2013, as did the country's supreme court in both July 2015 and in January — when the court amended its decision to order Harlow support the boys only until they turn 20, the age of majority in that country. The Thai case was finalized in February.
But Wipaporn filed a petition in Cook County Circuit Court against Harlow in June 2011 seeking, among other things, recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment.
Harlow moved to dismiss the petition in August 2012, arguing the Thai court's judgment was not entitled to comity since he was never married to Wipaporn and Illinois law prevents sperm donors from being treated as natural fathers when they donate sperm to women other than their wife.
Bernstein denied Harlow's motion in regard to extending comity to the Thai judgment. She did not rule on the other counts in Wipaporn's petition.
Harlow answered Wipaporn's petition in July 2013, contending the foreign judgment could not be enforced because she obtained it through fraud. He contended Wipaporn made false representations to convince him to participate in the fertility treatment and intended to use his money to support her children and a partner she was living with but concealed from him.
Bernstein struck and dismissed Harlow's answer with prejudice and extended comity to the Thai judgment by enrolling it as an Illinois judgment in August 2013.
In affirming Bernstein's decision, the 1st District panel noted the Illinois Parentage Act works to define the legal relationship of a child who is born to a husband and wife who request and consent to artificial insemination. Any child born to a husband and wife through such procedures shall be legally considered the same as one who was conceived naturally, it found.
Noting that Harlow bases his appeal on Section 3(b) of the act, the panel ruled he reads the section "in isolation from the language of the entire act and thus relies on a strained interpretation" of the statute to support his argument.
"When we examine the language of the entire Parentage Act to and consider each section in connection with every other section or subsection, the clear and unambiguous language establishes that the statute's purpose 'is to provide a legal mechanism for a husband and wife to obtain donor sperm for use in artificial insemination and to ensure that a child is considered the legitimate child of the husband and wife requesting and consenting to the artificial technique,'" Justice Bertina E. Lampkin wrote in her 14-page order, citing the M.J. case.
Motions to dismiss admit well-pleaded allegations in a complaint as well as any reasonable inferences that can be taken from them, the panel noted. In that context — and in the face of such evidence as their relationship and wedding — Harlow cannot claim he was merely Wipaporn's sperm donor, the panel ruled.
"Furthermore, he consented in writing to the use of his sperm in the GIFT procedure with Wipaporn and signed the consent form under the designation of 'husband,'" Lampkin wrote, noting Harlow also acknowledged his fatherhood in e-mails that discussed various plans to financially support the triplets. "In addition, he wrote about his plans to claim the three boys as dependents, take tax deductions for his support payments to them and enable them to access their rights of U.S. citizenship, which they had only because he was their father."
Feinstein said although the order remains unpublished, he has filed a motion for the appellate court to publish it as an opinion because of the relative infrequency with which such issues arise in parentage cases.
"I thought the appellate court gave a very good explanation of the law, and it's not something that you see every week," he said. "I just think it provides guidance to future litigants."
Mirabelli said "while we respect the appellate court's order, we shall continue to represent our client's position until we have exhausted all legal remedies available to him."
Beermann partner John M. D'Arco and associate Matthew D. Elster also represent Harlow.
Justices Robert E. Gordon and Jesse G. Reyes concurred in the order, In re parentage of A.H. et al, 2016 IL App (1st) 133703.

Why should you attend a PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Course? What is a DPV? Is is like the underwater car from that James Bond Movie? Or is it like a human torpedo?
A Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) is like riding a motorbike, flying a plane and steering an astronaut jet pack on a space walk all rolled into one. It's a practical underwater scooter, and for a given dive duration, you see a much wider area because you travel faster and cover more ground. A DPV does much of the work for you that you would normally do finning; it reduces your exertion and air consumption. In fact, the better DPVs perform the more useful they are. DPVs are also just a whole lot of fun! Think James Bond on an underwater mission. They offer a thrilling way for scuba divers to see a lot of underwater territory in a short amount of time, gliding over reefs, buzzing around a large wreck or weaving through a kelp forest. Whether making a shore or boat dive, a DPV is a great way to extend your adventure – going further, staying longer, and seeing more and having more fun doing it.
The best part about the PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Specialty Course is that once you start using them, you'll want to have one all the time! They are just so much fun to use that you'll never forget the experience, and always be on the lookout for the next time you can go DPV diving.
A favorite companion course to the PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Specialty Course is the PADI Multilevel Diver Specialty Course and the Enriched Air Nitrox Course. If you want you can take these specialties concurrently. The Multilevel techniques are essential for you to manage your dive safely as it is easy to forget about depth and time limits while racing around on your DPV. The Enriched Air Nitrox course gives you the edge as you are able to stay down deeper, for longer on your dive objective!

Key technology of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent application
Updated 10:27 am
Now China has become a powerful country in science and technology, but do you know how powerful China's technology is? The manned space station alone is not enough, and now it has successfully broken through the key technology of nuclear fusion, even leading the world by 15 years. Does this mean that China is not far from the artificial sun? It turned out that the fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device developed by China at the Hefei Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully achieved a record of 101 seconds of continuous operation at 120 million degrees Celsius, and broke the world record. Compared with the previous record in South Korea, China has time has been directly extended by 5 times, and it seems that we are one step closer to the practical stage of artificial sun.
The success of nuclear fusion technology will lead to the development of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer.
In recent years, polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer has been widely used in many construction fields. Modern concrete has high requirements for additional functional additives, so polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent in the concrete system, it should consider the following key technologies.
The compatibility technology of polycarboxylic acid series. Because of the special structure of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, it can not be stored and used with other superplasticizers, especially naphthalene superplasticizer. Need and different type of water reducing agent for alternate use, must be the relevant container for serious cleaning cleaning, prevent cross pollution to affect the quality of concrete. The adsorption performance of water reducing agent is not the same because of different types of cement, because the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is relatively narrow in the compatible range of cement, the incompatible situation is inevitable, so it is necessary to increase its dosage or use different types of cement to effectively solve this problem.
⑵ retarding technology of polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent. In the construction process, due to the short retarding time, the use of retarding agent can effectively prolong the plasticity of concrete. However, the incompatibility of the two should also be considered to avoid the reduction of concrete performance.
⑶ Gas control. Polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent entrainment effect is very good, can be used together with defoaming agent, entrainment agent. The gas content of concrete can be controlled and its workability and durability can be improved by removing the concrete and then introducing it.
(4) Control of mud content in sand and stone. The application effect of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is also affected by the mud content of sand and stone. If the mud content in the sand exceeds 2%, the structures between the clay layers will therefore absorb large amounts of water reducing agent molecules, reducing the flow performance of the concrete. If the mud content is relatively large in the construction process, the anti-clay polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent should be considered.

Russia is a major supplier of industrial metals such as nickel, aluminium and palladium. Russia and Ukraine are both major wheat exporters, and Russia and Belarus produce large amounts of potash, an input to fertiliser. The price and market of the polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer will fluctuate under its influence. Prices of these goods have been rising since 2022 and are now likely to rise further because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

A 12th Grader's Response to the Education Minister's Recent Live Interaction With Students
Amna Tasneem January 2, 2021
Attend school online from 8 am to 10.30 am.
Then juggle online coaching classes, which often clash.
Sit glued to your laptop/desktop for hours on end (if you're privileged) or try to squint out the figures on the blackboard that your mobile screen displays. (Again, if you're privileged enough to have a stable internet connection.)
Try to cram in nourishment and refreshment if you can.
If you're in Class 12 like me, I am sure this is what your routine looks like. We knew, even before the pandemic descended, that 2020 was the year we were to work hard and sacrifice small pleasures to make gains in the long run. Even when the outbreak brought the world to a halt, we knew that we could not afford to take a break.
Even as the pandemic cast a cloud of uncertainty over this year, we knew for certain that at its end we would have to give our board exams and more importantly the entrance exams that would decide our future. We did not have the privilege to indulge in the mass breakdown of normal life that COVID-19 orchestrated.
So, we went on as if nothing happened and did our best to mimic in our output what we would have done in normal times. The 30% cut in syllabus provided some relief. But with time, we realised that despite our best efforts, we are falling short. As we neared November, we began to frantically look for any news that would give us a clue about the probable dates of our impending examinations.
Also read: Online Classes Are Amplifying Inequality. What Can We Do?
So, when education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank announced a live interaction with students to address their concerns, we breathed a collective sigh of relief and took to Twitter with the hope of being heard. Students from all over India tried to explain how their education has been adversely affected in these unprecedented times. #PostponeCBSEboards accompanied almost every tweet to the minister. And understandably so.
आचार्य देवो भव: Interacting with teachers on upcoming board exams. #EducationMinisterGoesLive @EduMinOfIndia @SanjayDhotreMP @PIB_India @MIB_India @DDNewslive https://t.co/SSNzSkkV4f
— Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank (@DrRPNishank) December 22, 2020
What had initially been hopeful anticipation soon turned to disbelief, despair, anger and frustration as we watched him drone on at length about the grand vision of the New Education Policy (NEP) which is yet to be implemented, while remaining seemingly oblivious to all the pressing questions we sought answers to. When he did deign to turn to a few of our questions, all we received was an impressive show on the use of a large number of words to say nothing at all. How will we give practical exams without ever going to the lab?
"I'm sure the conditions would be favourable soon. If not, appropriate steps would be taken in due time."
When will our exams take place? Will they be postponed?
"When the appropriate time comes and we feel it necessary, a decision will be taken."
Did it answer our questions? No. Did it relieve us? No. Isn't the time to take decisions now?
To the minister and officials, here is what our reality is. We appreciate how our teachers have tried to adjust to teaching online so that the continuity of our learning is ensured. But this is all they have managed to do. Online classes are in no way a substitute of the schooling we need. As CBSE itself points out, due to the low accessibility and reliability of internet devices, it is not possible to hold board examinations online. How can the same board expect us to have been able to properly attend classes on the same faulty devices?
Much has been said about how the revolutionary NEP would transform India's education system from mere mugging-up to real skill-based learning. Do I believe India can ever achieve this? No. Why? Well, when I am being asked by my Chemistry teacher to simply download the investigatory project mandated by the CBSE so that my examination obligations are fulfilled, what else can I say?
Also read: Exclusion of 'English': Casteism and Classism at the Heart of NEP
In a stark contrast to foreign institutions' strict no-plagiarism policy, the Indian education system actively encourages students to copy-paste things off the internet without actually learning anything. If CBSE decides to hold practicals without students actually stepping into labs before, the government's practices will go against its much hyped-up new policy which advocates hands-on learning. It would be promoting passing exams over actual learning. Actual learning can take place only within classroom walls. If virtual labs are sufficient, will you trust a doctor who has learnt by only watching surgery videos to operate on you?
The right thing to do is to postpone boards exams till May, given that schools reopen in January, and take at least three months of physical classes. Pokhriyal patted himself on the back for having postponed 2020's NEET and JEE to September in students' interests. If the batch which enjoyed a normal academic year and whose learning was entirely unaffected by the pandemic is given a six-month extension due to the outbreak which happened at the close of their examinations, how is it fair to expect 2021 batch whose learning for the entire academic year was affected by the pandemic to be ready by March?
Some would say these are just excuses given by unmotivated students at the last moment. I have ranked among the top three in my class ever since second grade. Yet I do not see this 'online learning' working for me. Students need schools to reopen before they sit in any exam.
I am also a student in one of the Delhi Public Schools, whose parents' income allows her to access online classes without any connectivity issues. If I am still struggling to learn, I can not even imagine how it must be for the majority of students who reside in rural areas. It is a great fallacy to think that we have enough resources to successfully impart education online.
And if you believe hard work trumps resources, name one NEET or JEE top ranker who was not coached in one of those famed institutes.

Sang Yoon's Next Big Project: Lukshon, An Asian Place
by Kat Odell Feb 18, 2010, 6:14am PST
Share All sharing options for: Sang Yoon's Next Big Project: Lukshon, An Asian Place
Father's Office creator and chef Sang Yoon usually likes to keep the press guessing, but this month he spilled some major beans in an article published by Food & Wine. Remember that noodle place we wrote about, oh, seven months ago? Yoon has renamed it Lukshon which is a spin-off on the Yiddish word for noodle (luchen or lucksh). Could this mean that Yoon is converting to Judaism? Mais non. He's simply paying homage to a woman he considers his surrogate Jewish grandmother. Eater stopped by the space, still a few doors down from the Culver City Father's Office on Helms Blvd, to check in. Yoon's business partner was on site and friendly enough to say that he couldn't give out any more information than the Food & Wine article already divulged. But, we were invited inside, where we found out that although the Food & Wine piece features several recipes by Yoon, he will not be serving these exact dishes at Lukshon, regardless of what the article says.
Frankly, if you've ever been to Father's Office and seen the rotating menu there, you have some sort of idea just how many ideas Yoon has on a day to day basis, so it's easy to see that while he may make some version of his Forbidden Fried Rice at Lukshon, holding him to a specific recipe would be unfair.
So, it's called noodle in Yiddish, does that mean it's a noodle place? No, don't be a shlemil. He will be serving noodles, but not only noodles. The focus will be on Southeast Asian cuisine. Will there be Japanese? There will be raw fish, and Japanese ingredients may make a cameo, but the focus is more on Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. From Food & Wine: "Basically, I drew a big circle around all of Asia and said, 'Anything's fair game,'?" Yoon explains. "I'm not going to say, 'This is an Indonesian dish' or 'That's an Indian one.' I'm just looking at the entire region as one big pantry." The space, not too large in size, will feature an open kitchen and about 80 seats, divided between an indoor dining room and outdoor, covered patio. There is also space for a small bar. You can take the man out of Father's Office, but you can't take the craft beer out of the man; there will be beer. The new Helms Blvd. doesn't extend through from Venice to Washington anymore; it's been closed off midway, and this encourages a casual walk-way, encouraging a calmer atmosphere. There's a desire to open for lunch and dinner. And about that opening date? "We're on track to open in 7 - 9 months, but we're not making any formal announcements."

2014 Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance: Money on the Move [Mega-Gallery]
A moving festival of colored chinos and multimillion-dollar cars, the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance is the best way to see the machines competing in Sunday's concours the way they're meant to be viewed—in motion. Free for spectators, it also serves as a tiebreaker for the Big Event; cars that complete the entire Tour have the advantage.
The route starts near the Lodge at Pebble Beach and goes on to trace portions of 17 Mile Drive, heads out into the mountains to the east, circles Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, runs south and back again on a stretch of Highway 1, and pauses in Carmel-by-the-Sea for lunch. It's here that you'll get the best look at the cars as they're parked side-by-side down Ocean Avenue—provided you can pick your way through the dense crowd—usually with a cheerful owner (or handler) at its side.

As is customary, this year's crop ranged from the earliest days of the automobile up to the late 1960s and included a whole passel of 1957 and 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas, a fleet of Tatras, and several Ruxtons. (All three are special classes at this year's concours.) There was also a rad—and massive—1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Streamliner that you have to see to believe. Head into the gallery for a representative sampler of what was on the Tour and to see some of what will be on the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach links come Sunday.

Small Universal front mount for the Chinese 2 stroke.
Small Universal front mount is for 1 1/8" (1.125" or 28.5 mm) up to 1 1/2" (1.5" or 38 mm) bike down tube diameters.
As noted also please verify and select the center to center spacing of your engine studs. The two sizes are ~1.6" (~41 mm) and ~1.9" (~48 mm). These are approximate distances because the engine studs may not be perfectly parallel.
I bought this mount to relieve the stress put on the mounting studs because I was afraid they were going to snap. the engine is mounted much sturdier now and the vibration is reduced considerably. The product is wonderful but some of us aren't so great with math skills so an even more layman explanation of how to determine the correct size would be great.
Good, strong mount bolts on easily, I got the half inch U-bolt but the the holes made it a little too snug, but it worked. If your down tube is about a half inch I'd probably go for the smallest U-bolt on the large motor mount so you can avoid my problem. In all great products, great site, and great shipping.
I've been working this mount hard on both my bikes and it seems really strong. Nice spacers and all hardware included.
No problem with fitting on either bike. Maybe there are some odd bikes/engines out there, but my engines are from different places.
Perfect fit, I replaced the single stud drilled in the frame, much more secure! Maybe it is redesigned, but no problems on mine!

ICE-ARC (Ice, Climate, Economics – Arctic Research on Change) FP-7 EU.
Ice-Arc is a programme funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Programme.
Directly assessing the social and economic impact of Arctic sea-ice loss
ICE-ARC (Ice, Climate, Economics – Arctic Research on Change) will look into the current and future changes in Arctic sea ice – both from changing atmospheric and oceanic conditions. The project will also investigate the consequences of these changes both on the economics of the area and globally, and social aspects such as on indigenous peoples.
The four-year project brings together physicists, chemists, biologists, economists, and sociologists from 21 institutes from 11 countries across Europe. With a budget of €11.5M we aim to understand and quantify the multiple stresses involved in the change in the Arctic marine environment.
Particular focus is on the rapid retreat and collapse of Arctic sea-ice cover. The most spectacular retreat is occurring in summer, and the complete loss of summer sea ice may occur in a very short period of time – years to decades.
There is also a significant reduction in sea ice extent in all seasons, which, if continued, will result seasonal ice cover and a widening annual window of the ice-free season.
The outcome of the project will be a better understanding of, and ability to predict, Arctic marine change. This will provide an improvement in the scientific baseline for guiding EU and international policies on the protection of the Arctic marine environment, at a time of increased socio-economic pressure, especially in the field of resource exploitation.
OAsys' tasks in Ice-Arc are the testing of new parameterizations, especially with respect to sea ice prcesses, in coupled models, and to provide physical input to the economic modelling performed with the PAGE model.
Project Aims
The ICE-ARC project aims to understand and quantify the multiple stresses involved in the change in the Arctic marine environment. Particular focus is on the rapid retreat and collapse of the Arctic sea ice cover and to assess the climatic (ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystem), economic and social impacts of these stresses on regional and global scales.
It is not possible to look at one aspect of this system in isolation; a coupled atmosphere/cryosphere/ocean/ecosystem approach is needed. Our observations will focus on reducing the uncertainty in understanding of Arctic physical processes which are vital in climate and ecosystem change and which may not be adequately represented in present models.
Results of the observational programme will be fed into an ice-ocean-atmosphere model which, after validation, will make projections – with reduced uncertainties – of the rate and nature of future changes in the ice cover, ocean structure and atmospheric temperature and circulation. In parallel with this an ecosystems model will perform the same role for marine living resources.
The resulting projections of the two models will be fed into an economic impact model (PAGE-ICE) that is specially reconfigured for cryosphere-driven impacts. This will calculate the impacts of the projected physical changes upon the global economic and social system, including those of the Arctic region itself.
This will be the first time that a leading global impact model has been coupled with a physical climate model to directly assess the economic impact of observed and projected climate change events. It is being applied to the oceanic region of greatest current concern to the global community because of the speed of visible change there.
The outputs of the entire project, will undoubtedly lead to more effective policy and management options for societal responses to climate change, and because of this we have an extensive dissemination and engagement programme within ICE-ARC.
ICE-ARC (Ice, Climate, Economics – Arctic Research on Change) is a programme funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Programme. It is a 4 year project that started on the 1st January 2014, and will look into the current and future changes in Arctic sea ice – both from changing atmospheric and oceanic conditions. We will also investigate in a robust way, the consequences of these changes both on the economics of the area, and social aspects such as on indigenous peoples.
The Arctic marine environment is experiences change at an unprecedented pace which is very likely caused by greenhouse gas induced global warming. The ICE-ARC project aims to understand and quantify the multiple stresses involved in the change with a particular focus on the rapid retreat and collapse of the Arctic sea ice cover and to assess the climatic (ice, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystem), economic, and social impacts of these stresses on regional and global scales.
Improved climate prediction for the Arctic Ocean and the reduction of uncertainties in those predictions;
Improved understanding of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems;
Assessment of socio-economic vulnerabilities, both to the peoples of the north and to the planet as a whole;
Input to improve EU and international Arctic marine policies to cope with the implications of an increasingly ice-free Arctic;
Improved understanding of the living resources for Arctic human communities;
Effective policy and management options for societal responses to climate change.
It is not possible to look at one aspect of this system in isolation; a coupled atmosphere-cryosphere-ocean-ecosystem approach is needed. The approach of the project will therefore include an integrated programme of multi-disciplinary observations, especially involving the use of autonomous platforms and a comprehensive multi-forcing assessment involving both regional (Arctic) and global Earth system models.
Observations made will focus on reducing the uncertainty in understanding of Arctic physical processes which are vital in climate and ecosystem change, and which may not be adequately represented in present models. Results of the observational programme will be fed into an ice-ocean-atmosphere model which, after validation, will make projections – with reduced uncertainties- of the rate and nature of future changes in the ice cover, ocean structure and atmospheric temperature and circulation. In parallel with this an ecosystems model will perform the same role for marine living resources.
The outputs of the entire project will undoubtedly lead to more effective policy and management options for societal responses to climate change.
ICE-ARC will produce significant impacts for Europe by:
Improved climate prediction abilities for the Arctic Ocean and its connection to the globe
Reduction of uncertainties in those predictions;
Improved understanding of socio-economic vulnerabilities and resilience regarding peoples of the north and the planet as a whole;
Improved EU and international Arctic marine policies to cope with the implications of an increasingly ice-free Arctic;
Improved understanding of the marine living resources for Arctic human communities;
Effective policy and management options for societal responses to climate change;
Empowering of communities to build capacity towards ensuring sustainable livelihoods, in accordance with their cultural needs;
First time quantification of projected physical change impacts on the fully global (including Arctic) economic and social system, from an integrated assessment model (PAGE-ICE). This will inject urgency into the debate about appropriate action.
Quantification of the impacts of Arctic marine change along with the costs of policies to mitigate or adapt to it.

Bristol War Room
Government Buildings, Flowers Hill, Brislington, Bristol, BS4 5HE
City of Bristol (Unitary Authority)
Non Civil Parish
ST6225869934
War Room of c1953, established to co-ordinate civil defence in the event of an atomic attack and to protect regional government. Designed by the Ministry of Works.
Reasons for Designation
Bristol War Room, completed in 1953, designed to protect the functions of regional government from the atomic bomb and to co-ordinate civil defence is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: *	Rarity: a rare survival of a purpose-built war room, built to the two-storey semi-sunken design, constructed during the early 1950s. The only other remaining unaltered example, Reading War Room, is already listed at Grade II; *	Intactness: the structure is remarkably intact and has been little altered since built; *	Architectural interest: a building which expresses through its monumental and robust form the threat posed by the atomic bomb and the necessary measures to protect its occupants from the effects of nuclear attack; *	Historic interest: built to the first nuclear-proof design intended for civilian occupation in Great Britain, and marks the strategic transition in the post-war British Government's appreciation of the effects of nuclear warfare.
By 1951 the construction of buildings to protect the functions of government against the atomic bomb had been agreed. Initially, the building design was given the title - Regional Commissioners Office (RCO) but the term evolved to Regional War Room, which in turn was reduced to War Room. One war room was to be built in each of England's ten Home Defence Regions. The exception to this was the London Region which was provided with four war rooms. All except one (in Newcastle-upon-Tyne) were purpose-built structures. The defence regions had their origins in the Second World War when plans were made in case central government was disrupted or destroyed. Each had a regional commissioner who would govern and organise his region and its defence until such time as things returned to normal. The mid-C20 war rooms were located in the same cities as their wartime predecessors but were usually built on government estates so that they could sit alongside the offices of other ministries. The war room designs were in progress by October 1951, with construction work starting shortly afterwards; Birmingham War Room being the last to be completed in 1956. Each comprised a reinforced concrete structure with massive external walls (1.45m) and roof (1.52m) and further reinforced concrete internal partition walls as well as its own generators, air filtration system and water supply. The function of the war rooms was to gather information in the event of an attack and to co-ordinate rescue and welfare facilities in support of regional government.
There were three different designs: single-storey surface buildings; two-storey surface buildings; and two-storey semi-sunken buildings as at Bristol, but in plan they followed a broadly similar pattern. Essentially, as well as the aforementioned facilities, each had a central map room with control rooms, offices and communications rooms surrounding it, as well as ablutions, dormitories and a canteen. The buildings provided protection for the staff within (approximately 50 people). The importance of the map room can be seen by its central position and, in relation to the two-storey design; it occupied the full height of the building with overlooking control cabins on both the lower and upper floors.
The Bristol War Room was completed in 1953. It is located at the southern end of the wartime government estate at Brislington and was the war room for Home Defence Region 7, which covered Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. Bristol along with the other war rooms was replaced in the early 1960s by Regional Seats of Government which were better equipped to cope with the hydrogen bomb (the detonation of the Soviet H-bomb in August 1953 was the catalyst for this change in strategy). Some of the war rooms like Reading and Cambridge were integrated into the new Regional Seats of Government buildings; however, the example at Bristol was rented by the Home Office to Avon County Council, who used it as their County Borough Control until 1981. Since that time it has been partially de-stored (that is, has had removable equipment taken away), racking has been inserted into a number of the rooms on the upper floor and it has been used for document and fire extinguisher storage.
MATERIALS: it is built of reinforced concrete using the continuous pour technique, the floor slab, walls and roof can be considered as being one. The walls are rendered, above plain concrete footings, covered with deliberately planted Virginia creeper.
PLAN: a rectangular-plan, semi-sunken reinforced concrete building of two-storeys: the lower floor of which is below ground-level. It is entered by two opposing entrances in the north-east and south-west elevations each leading to a pair of stairs and continuous circulatory corridors that provide access to all rooms on both floors. The plan centres around the map room with control cabins on its south-eastern and south-western sides.
EXTERIOR: as it was designed to resist the effects of a nuclear explosion, there are no windows and the only openings in the structure are three concrete-shrouded ventilator towers situated at the eastern end of the over-hanging concrete roof over the plant rooms. No.1 entrance is situated towards the eastern end of the south-west elevation, while No.2 entrance mirrors the former and is situated towards the eastern end of the north-east elevation. Both entrances are deeply recessed and are closed externally by a plain door with a small viewing window that leads into a dog-leg plan blast-baffle with a heavy steel blast door set at right angles to the entrance.
INTERIOR: a utilitarian interior lacking in decorative features, but retaining a large number of the 1950s fittings and fixtures. No.1 entrance acted as the main point of entry to the upper floor and is flanked by a security room that has a 'Lamson Basket' message delivery system linking it to the lower floor. A pair of concrete staircases on either side of the building, situated close to the entrances lead down to the lower floor. The stairs have concrete steps with linoleum inset treads, and have solid concrete central balustrades and painted steel hand-rails; a painted black metal water tank resting on a concrete shelf sits over the landing of each stair.
There is a range of rooms off the upper circulatory corridor including offices, a kitchen and canteen, dormitories and ladies toilets. The stand-by generator room is situated within the plant room and houses a diesel engine powered dynamo of 1953. The plant room contains an air conditioning unit electrical equipment, and timber battery shelves; although the glass and lead batteries are missing. On the inner side of the south-eastern arm of the corridor, are two rooms with curved anti-reflection glass windows that look down into the 'well' of the map room below. The smaller room with was allocated to the Civil Defence Officer, and the larger one was for the County Controller; however, the sign on one door into this room reads Fire Control Room. The lower floor circulatory corridor provides access into the well of the two-storey high map room. There is a large wall map of the Bristol area dating from 1980s and a resources black board on the north-west wall. The south-east wall has six curved anti-reflection glass windows, three to each floor, and the south-west wall has one window at the lower floor level. A hinged glazed message transfer box is fitted into the left-hand corner of the frames of each of the lower floor windows. A range of rooms are served by the lower corridor, including further offices, GPO equipment room, administration control, signals, and two tank rooms. On the north-western side is the signals room which has been sub-divided into three areas, one has a bench that has sixteen acoustic booths, each fitted with a lamp bracket and message clip holders on the dividers. The switchboard/teleprinter room, sits within the larger signals room, and has a message passing hatch in its end wall. The GPO equipment room situated in against the north-east wall retains the telephone equipment rack and its associated wall heaters. The timber doors throughout all have plain flat surfaces, some with ventilation panels at their base. Door furniture is largely of black Bakelite. Most electrical fittings are original. Round Tannoy public address system speakers are attached to the walls in a number of the rooms.

Private student loan debts are being erased because of incomplete and missing paperwork
Joshua Lott/Getty Images
Judges across the United States are wiping away student loan debts worth, in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars, all because National Collegiate Student Loans Trusts has been unable to show in court that it owns the loans it says it does.
National Collegiate is composed of 15 different trusts, collectively holding 800,000 private student loans. Those loans add up to $12 billion, and more than $5 billion is in default, court records state. The private loans were made by banks, then sold to investors, and when the borrowers struggle to pay back these loans — which often have high interest rates — National Collegiate takes them to court; on average, at least four new collection lawsuits are filed every day, The New York Times reports, and more than 800 have been filed this year so far.
When borrowers don't go to court, National Collegiate almost always automatically wins the case, but when they do show up, most of the time judges throw the suits out because National Collegiate was not able to produce the paperwork proving it owned the debt in question. A 2015 audit of the company, organized by one of the financiers behind National Collegiate's trusts, looked at nearly 400 random loans owned by National Collegiate, and found that none had the proper paperwork documenting the chain of ownership. This is similar to what happened in the 2000s during the subprime mortgage crisis, when judges ruled in favor of borrowers, saying the companies could not collect subprime mortgage loans because the documents were either missing or forgeries.
The lawyer for Samantha Wilson, a 33-year-old mother of three, said when she was sued by National Collegiate, the paperwork was riddled with errors. She earned her degree in psychology from Lehman College in the Bronx and fell behind on payments when her daughter was ill and she had to quit her job. Documents claimed she attended a school she never went to, and a judge dismissed four lawsuits against her because trusts "failed to establish the chain of title" on her loans. Wilson told the Times she was "responsible" for the loans she took out and was prepared to pay them off over time, but "some of them I didn't take." In the end, $31,000 worth of debt was wiped clean. Read the entire report at The New York Times.
