The official calendar of the Buddhist Churches of America is here with a New Year's message from Reverend Kodo Umezu, Bishop of the Buddhist Churches of America, and from Richard Stambul, President of the BCA.
This year's theme is "Arigato Obaachan." All of the featured photos were submitted by members of various BCA temples.
Since 1900, Buddhist women have played an important and integral part in the propagation of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism with the Buddhist Churches of America. Through their sacrifice, hard work, dedication, generosity, and pursuit of the Buddha-Dharma, they have and continue to show us all how to "Live the Nembutsu." Through this year's BCA Calendar, we honor and say thank you to our Grandmothers, Mothers, Aunties, and other female relatives who have guided us to a deeper understanding of Shinran Shonin's Nembutsu teaching.

Discover Project Ansible at the Connected Business Expo, 4-5 March, Olympia London
by Datrix Newsroom, on 12/02/14 09:52
With just three weeks until Unify are set to unveil their game changing UC solution, here's what you need to know about Project Ansible.
Mobile working, home working, virtual teams, video conferencing. Chatting, tweeting, e-mailing, calling. There are as many ways to work as there are channels. So many that more than half of us feel uncomfortable with it. Today's consumer IT revolution sustains our on-the-go workstyle, but its traditional shortcomings can cause stress. Until now. Unify has developed a new generation of communications and collaboration technologies which will greatly change the future of work, making it stress-free and fun. It can be yours by mid-2014.
Unify, formerly known as Siemens Enterprise Communications, is one of the world's leading enterprise communication software and services suppliers. Built on a successful heritage of nearly 170 years of innovation, Unify has set out to harmonise the way companies communicate and collaborate, helping employees spend less time orchestrating work and more time effectively collaborating, without any stress.
Unify is a dominant market player in telephony and Unified Communications (UC). Over the years, its OpenScape communications platform has become an industry standard. Based on extensive market and customer research over the past few years, Unify developed an advanced communications and collaboration platform under the code name Project Ansible, which seamlessly connects with the OpenScape platform and other suppliers' systems. Project Ansible will be formally unveiled at theConnected Business Expo, 4-5 March, London, and at CeBIT, the world's largest IT business event and conference, Hanover, Germany, 10-14 March. Worldwide sales will commence in June.
Its introduction will be significant for the communications and IT industries. Unify believes substantial forces are reshaping how enterprises conduct business, such as the consumerisation of IT, BYOD (bring your own device) to work, and the impact of "anywhere workers". These factors are defining the future of work. Project Ansible addresses this new way of working through a secure communications platform that supports dynamic collaboration and universal content aggregation for a single intuitive consumer experience that drives adoption and simplifies integration within existing business processes. The result? A significant enhancement of business performance.
Current management tools for conferencing, collaboration and content tend to be segmented, forcing users to perform most of the integration themselves. Unify, through its Project Ansible platform, envisions all relevant information being seamlessly and easily available to every user at any given time on a single screen, either in text, image, video, voice or any combination thereof. Moreover, the information will be accessible on any IT device, from desktop PC or IP telephone to Smartphone or tablet. It will enable users to quickly transition from one device to another during a conversation (e.g. from laptop to mobile phone) through a simple "call swipe", the finger movement we know from tablet PCs, without being interrupted. Working and collaborating will be fun in the future.

Q: i do not seem to understand why im having these undefined index notices what is causing this undefined index error or notices im getting on my page
Notice: Undefined index: start_date in C:\xampp\htdocs\how are things\admin panel\daily.php on line 97

Notice: Undefined index: balance in C:\xampp\htdocs\how are things\admin panel\daily.php on line 98

the code on line 97 and 98 is
echo '' . $row['start_date'] . '	';
echo '' . $row['balance'] . '	';

this is my whole code
<?php

include'includes/connect.php';
 $allowedSorts = array('start_date', 'balance');

    $sort = isset($_GET['sort']) ? $_GET['sort'] : '';
    $result = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(start_date, '%m-%d') AS 'month and day',balance as amount FROM `aggrement`";
    if(in_array($sort, $allowedSorts)){
         $result .= " ORDER BY {$sort}";
    }

    $result = mysql_query($result) or die(mysql_error());

echo "
";
echo "

month and day
Amount Paid

";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{

echo "
";
echo '' . $row['start_date'] . '	';
echo '' . $row['balance'] . '	';
echo "
";

}

echo "
";
?>

thanks in advance

A: You're setting alias name for each one, so you can't access them with default columnname.
You must get them with alias name. Like
$row["month and day"] and $row["amount"].

Kenyan Netflix Subscribers to Grow By 79% in 2020
Joel Otindo May 7, 2020	Leave a comment
Kenya is among the leading Netflix markets in Africa with a considerable number of paid subscribers. Data by DataHom.com, shows that Netflix subscribers in Kenya will grow by at least 79% in 2020.
The data indicates that by Q4 2020, Kenya will have about 29,510 Netflix subscribers. The figure represents a growth of 79% from 2019's estimates of 16,480 subscribers. In 2018, Kenyan Netflix subscribers were about 8,740, a growth of 140% from 2017's 3,640 subscribers. In general, from 2017 to 2020, the number of subscribers will grow by a staggering 710%.
Kenyan Interest in Netflix Grows
Notably, the interest of Kenyan regarding the streaming platform has grown in 2020. DataHom.com analyzed data from the search engine platform regarding Kenyan queries on Netflix. The data indicates that from the week of Jan 5- 11 2020, and the Week of May 3- 9, Kenyans Google search about Netflix have grown by 137.14%.
At the start of the year, the queries had a search popularity of 35 and by May 3-11, the popularity score on Google stood at 83. Notably, the searches achieved a peak score of 100 during the week of March 29 -April 4. From the week of March 8-14, the peak popularity started rising gradually from 31 to 100.
During this period, many Kenyans were confined into their homes as the government encouraged people to stay at homes as a means of curbing the spread of Coronavirus. Most people turned to television as a way of passing time. This is a trend that has been replicated globally due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Notably, more Kenyans continue to show interest in Netflix from different towns mostly within the Nairobi metropolitan area. From the data, residents of Kikuyu are more interested in knowing more about Netflix with a Google search peak score of 100. Athi River comes second with a score of 86 followed by Ruiru at 85 while Juja and Mombasa have tied with a popularity score of 79.
Nakuru comes sixth with a Google search popularity score of 57 followed by Thika at 55. Nairobi is seventh at 41 while Eldoret has a popularity score of 41.
It is worth noting that the current Google search popularity scores can change considering that the data undergoes a weekly review. The popularity score refers to Google search interest relative to the highest point for the given region and time. In this case, a value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term while a value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.
Global Netflix Users Steadily Grows
The data also overviewed the number of Netflix subscribers globally based on each quarter from 2020. The information was provided by Netflix in March 2020, during its quarterly financial report.
By the first quarter of 2020, registered Netflix's highest number of subscribers ever at 182.86 million with 69.9 million of the subscribers originating from the United States alone. From the data, Netflix's streaming service has been increasing in popularity despite having some seasons where the American company had a review of its subscription fees.
The Netflix library comes with a wealth of content on multiple genres and a diverse catalog of TV shows, movies, and documentaries. The platform appeals to a wide audience and consistently keeps users hooked with its often binge-worthy original content.

Boogie Goose will be recording for two days this Saturday and Sunday!
I got a call to play in Little Rock with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra on April 9th & 10th.
We're going to Chicago again, next Thursday, to play at Elbo Room (they have cool on-stage lights).
I looked up one of my longtime favorite bands: Lovedrug.
I'd like to see them again live.

7) Segregation. Religious leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. led the desegregation movement, but it's also important to note that the pro-segregation movement was also conceived as a Christian one. Arguments against "race mixing" were largely framed in religious terms. The judge who initially ruled against the interracial couple in Loving v. Virginia argued that the "Almighty God" put people on separate continents and "did not intend for the races to mix." Christian right leader Jerry Falwell got his start fighting to uphold segregation, giving sermons about how integration was offensive to God. As Max Blumenthalnoted in the Nation, the modern religious right as we know it started off as a movement to defend segregation.


This step by step diy project is about chalkboard coat rack plans. I have designed this rustic wall mounted coat rack so you can also write some notes on the chalkboard panels. You can easily adjust the size of the coat rack so it suits your needs. If you like the farmhouse style furniture, this coat rack would enhance the look of your home and add value. Take a look over the rest of our woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.
The first step of the project is to build the frame for the coat rack. Cut the components from 1×2 lumber. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the components, as shown in the diagram. Make sure the corners are square and add glue to the joints for a professional result. Insert 1 1/4″ screws to lock everything together tightly.
Build the sides of the coat rack from 2×3 lumber. Align the edges flush and place 1×2 scrap pieces under the frame, so you can align it with the side supports. Insert 1 1/4″ pocket screws to lock everything together tightly.
Build the side supports from 2×8 lumber. Mark the cut lines on the pieces of lumber and get the job done with a jigsaw. Smooth the surface thoroughly, so you it even out.
Center the supports to the sides of the coat rack and clamp them into place tightly. Drill pilot holes through the frame of the coat rack and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the supports. Add glue to the joints and leave no gaps between the components.
Cut a piece of 1/4″ plywood and cover one face with chalkboard paint. Center the panel to the back of the coat rack and secure it into place with 3/4″ brad nails. Insert nails every 4″, making sure you leave no gaps between the panel and the frame of the coat rack.
One of the last steps of the project is to attach the top to the coat rack. Cut a piece of 2×10 lumber and lay it on a level surface. Center the rack to the slat and them clamp them together tightly. Drill pilot holes through the top and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the side supports. Add glue to the joints for an even better bond.
Fit hook to the coat rack, as shown in the diagram. Make sure you align the hooks before securing them into place with screws.
Take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with filler and smooth the surface with 120-220 sandpaper. Seal the finish with a few coats of lacquer. Check out the rest of the my free woodworking plans HERE. If you build this, I would love to see your project.
This woodworking project was about coat rack plans free. If you want to see more outdoor plans, check out the rest of our step by step projects and follow the instructions to obtain a professional result.

Shakshooka Market will be held this evening at Al Othman Fashion working with Ecru from 6-8pm. Here's a map to the location in case you haven't been to Al Othman before.
If you haven't heard of Shakshooka before, its a local nomadic pop up farmer's market where you can find a variety of fresh veggies and fruits as well as locally made artisanal breads, jams and other edible products. Be sure to bring change and a cloth bag to carry all your goodies home.


I'm trying to catch what pleases the eye, with a preference for countryside scenes and animals in their natural environment, down to the smallest ones. There are everyday good reasons to pull out a camera and catch surprising or simply attractive scenes. My wish is to share these images with you. These are mainly taken in Normandy, where I live, or in Ile-de France and Paris. Some shots are about herding...another passion. Thank you for your work and inspiration, but also your comments and workshops. All this wouldn't have been possible without Adam's great work for keeping this exciting site as it is!

EVERTON EMERGED IN FRONT FOR MAN CITY DEFENDER
Everton have emerged in the front line to sign Manchester City player Tosin Adarabioyo. Everton are not the only club interested in the player as other EPL sides have also indicated an interest in the player. Wolves, Newcastle United and Leicester City have also registered an interest in the player. The player has declared that he is aware of the interests in him, but he is committed to end the season on a high with Blackburn and by the end of the season he will decide his next move.
Adarabioyo is currently on Loan at Blackburn Rovers, he has helped the sides to touching distance if reaching the play offs at the end of the season. Rovers have 53 points after 37 games. They're three points behind Preston in 6th place. The club is still hopeful they can make the playoffs. The championship is currently on hold due to the Corona virus breakout. The league is expected to return in May, with the conclusion to run deep into the summer.
Adarabioyo, 22, has made 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and one assists for the play off faithfuls.
The player will return to the Etihad stadium at the end of the season. He will have only a year left on his contract at the end of the season, and since there's no clear path for the player with the club, he will be looking for an exit from the club.
According to sources, should the club fail to revert the ban placed on them by UEFA. They will not be in next season's champions league, and the earliest return date will be 2022-2023 season, a situation that will make it difficult for the club to attract top players. Adarabioyo might just have the right environment to grow with the club. He will also prove his worth with the club should he return after his loan.

Not tDCS, but TMS -Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, another form of TES – Transcranial Electric Stimulation, that is being used both clinically (FDA approved for the treatment of depression) and as a research tool. Unlike tDCS, TMS can be of sufficient power to cause neurons to fire– imagine a finger twitching in response the the activation of the TMS device.
Note as well in the video the elaborate set up for measuring the effect of TMS in the memory study. These are often standardized tests used throughout psychology research. Unfortunately they are often costly and complicated to use. Point being that any sort of DIY cognitive enhancement experiments need to consider how effects will be measured.

Edd Donovan and the Wandering Moles
Edd Donovan, no sign of any wandering moles though
Edd Donovan is a folk singer originally from the North of England but we are more than lucky to be hosting him and his musical Wandering Moles on our South West stage this May.
After releasing their debut album last April the group's appeal has sky rocketed, seeing them placed as one of iTunes' list of best debut albums by a Singer-Songwriter.
Their music is a great mix of folk and acoustic song writing which obviously sounds great on record but will surely be a highlight of the Altitude line up if these videos are anything to go by:
Make sure to take a listen to Edd's music on Soundcloud and check out his website to find out some more about the band.

17 Things You Need to Know About Your Tap Water
Kimberly HissUpdated: May 07, 2021
When you turn on your faucet to fill a spaghetti pot or sippy cup, do you know what's actually coming out? We got experts to reveal the dangerous contaminants hiding in your tap water—and how to know if your house has a problem.

The "Erin Brockovich" carcinogen is back in the news
Remember that carcinogenic chemical Erin Brockovich exposed in the drinking water of Hinkley, California, back in the 1990s? (It was featured in the movie of the same name, starring Julia Roberts.) It's called chromium-6, and a recent analysis of federal drinking water data by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), found an unsettling amount of it in sinks across the country. "In the tap water of at least 200 million Americans in all 50 states, chromium-6 has been detected above the minimal risk level," says David Andrews, PhD, an EWG senior scientist. "By and large it can be found in most water at varying concentrations, yet there's no federal drinking water regulation to keep it in check." Although chromium-6 can occur naturally, it is also an industrial chemical with a wide variety of uses. If you want to know if chromium-6 was found in your area's water, check this interactive map compiled by the EWG. Make sure you know what kinds of gross bacteria could be growing in your tap water if you don't use your faucet for a few days.

Teflon chemicals could mean trouble
Other unregulated contaminants on the EWG's radar are two "perfluorinated" chemicals long used in many consumer products: PFOA, formerly used to manufacture Teflon, and PFOS, formerly a Scotchgard ingredient. A 2016 EWG analysis of drinking water data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that the water supplies of over 5.2 million homes could be contaminated with these chemicals—which have been linked to developmental and reproductive health problems—at levels higher than those considered safe by the EPA.

Metals, like lead, can lurk in water
Lead is a natural chemical element not generally found in the rivers and lakes that supply a water system. But it can sneak into your water supply via the plumbing—including the pipes that connect homes to water mains as well as the solder, pipes, and fittings, according to the EPA. They recommend that if you have a lead service line, you contact your local water supplier to determine if your H20 should be tested. Some areas of the country also have site-specific problems, adds Raymond M. Hozalski, a professor in the department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota. For example, the toxic metal arsenic has been found in groundwater supplies in some parts of Western Minnesota, where treatment options are available to remedy it. Here are the 10 ways your body changes when you start drinking enough water.

Bacteria, like legionella, can breed in water
"We've seen an increase nationwide in cases of legionella over the last 10 years or so, and there is evidence that it can be transmitted via water supplies," says Hozalski, who explains that the exposure is not through drinking affected water but through showering and breathing in aerosols containing these bacteria. But, he points out, not everyone need be alarmed. "The main concern is for people who are immunocompromised—those with AIDS or lung conditions or those who are undergoing chemotherapy have a higher risk of developing Legionnaires' disease," he says. "Healthy people may just get a flu-like illness called Pontiac fever that goes away after a few days." Homeowners concerned about legionella could increase their hot water heater temperature; setting it to about 122 Fahrenheit could help inactivate the bacteria, according to Dr. Hozalski. But of course cranking up the dial means potential for scalding, especially in households with children, in which case you could have a plumber install a thermostatic mixing valve, which lessens the risk of burns. Check out these 13 genius ways to sneak more water into your day.

Your showerhead could harbor bad gunk
It's easy for bacteria to build up in your showerhead and hose. "I'm at a conference right now where people are cutting open shower hoses and finding all kinds of slime and bacterial growth," says Dr. Hozalski, who adds that changing or cleaning your showerhead periodically can reduce this accumulation. "You could also just let the water run for a few minutes before your shower to clear things out," he adds. Don't miss the other ways you're probably cleaning your bathroom wrong.

Flushed pharmaceuticals make it back to the tap
For many years, we've disposed of unused pills by flushing them down the toilet, so it's little surprise that pharmaceuticals are showing up in our water supplies today. "Trace amounts can be detected in lakes and rivers around the country," Dr. Hozalski says. "Ordinarily some are removed as water goes through treatments plants, so the levels coming out of the tap are usually barely detectable, if at all." However some plants aren't designed to remove traces of old drugs, in part because the levels are so low that sophisticated technology would be needed to detect them. "Some people say, 'Oh no, there are birth control pills or antibiotics in my tap water!' And yes, if you really look hard enough you could find extremely low levels on occasion, but I would say the potential health risks are probably negligible," Dr. Hozalski adds. If you have old prescriptions to toss, check with your township about proper disposal—some require that you bring them to a Household Hazardous Waste site.

Discolored fixtures could mean a call to the water company
Homeowners with a private well might see discoloration forming in their plumbing fixtures, which comes from iron or manganese in the water that's oxidizing. "Ordinarily, especially for well water, it doesn't indicate any health risk," says Dr. Hozalski. However, if you have water coming from a municipality, such discoloration would be highly unusual because plants should be removing those elements. "So if your white toilets are turning orange, I would call the water utility and find out what's going. Discoloration from iron and manganese isn't directly a health risk—more of an aesthetic issue—but it does suggest that the water utility isn't doing its job." Make sure you know the clear signs you're drinking way too much water.

Your local utility can send a water report
Fortunately there's an easy way to find out if these contaminants are in your water. If your H20 comes from a public water system, contact your local water supplier and ask for their "Consumer Confidence Report," also known as an "Annual Water Quality Report," which are usually sent to residents annually, according to the EPA. This report details the regulated chemicals, bacteria, and microbes that may be in your water and whether the system meets government drinking water standards. If you have a private well, the EPA recommends regularly testing it for nitrates, total coliforms (for example, bacteria), and any particular contaminants known to be in their watershed. Your local health department might test well water free of charge, adds the EPA, or you could contact a State Certification Officer for a list of water testing labs.

Fluoride is fine
Fluoride, a natural mineral that's present to some degree in almost all water, has been proven to protect against tooth decay by rebuilding and strengthening enamel. But these naturally occurring levels usually aren't enough to boost our dental health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is why state and local municipalities may add fluoride to drinking water to help keep teeth strong. "Community water fluoridation has been identified as the most cost-effective method of delivering fluoride to all, reducing tooth decay by 25 percent in children and adults," according to the CDC. While there's been some controversy surrounding such community water fluoridation, Dr. Hozalski assures us that the negative effects are nil. "At the levels that fluoride is added, the health risks are basically non-existent, and because of the benefits for dental health, especially for kids, I think it's a good thing," he says. Make sure you stop falling for these hydration myths.
iStock/clu
Chlorine cuts back on bacteria
Water coming into a treatment plant carries a range of pollutants, including pathogenic bacteria from sources including septic systems and animal runoff. One of the chemicals used to clean it up is chlorine, which is added at levels low enough to kill germs but not high enough to make the water unsafe to drink. "Chlorine helps protect against acute gastrointestinal illness and exposure to pathogens," Dr. Hozalski says, "so this disinfection is very important."
iStock/davidorr
Water treatment plants can create "disinfection byproducts"
As important as disinfection is, this treatment process can lead to unwanted results. "Disinfection byproducts" are compounds created when additives such as chlorine react with other things in the water, from contaminants to organic matter like leaves. "Some of these disinfection byproducts are either known or suspected carcinogens at low levels, so the EPA requires all utilities to test for at least a couple classes of them so we don't reach levels of serious health risk," says Dr. Hozalski, who adds that such regulation needs to evolve. "There are new disinfection byproducts being found, which means testing has to be done to determine how toxic they are. While these are a potential health concern, by and large most utilities do a good job of monitoring and controlling them."

Low flow could mean problems
The water distribution pipes in our homes, like the arteries in our bodies, can get gunked up with debris, and low water flow could mean that buildup has turned into a blockage. "I hate to say it, but when you cut most older pipes apart you'll see that they've probably accumulated 'scale,' which is minerals and debris that collect on the inner walls along with naturally occurring bacteria from the water supply," says Mitch Clemente, president of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers. "It's not the most pleasant thing to see, but it's a common problem, everybody has it, and eventually it could close the pipe off completely." So if the flow at your faucet is decreasing, call a plumbing contractor who will assess the problem and recommend how to fix it. "It may be as simple as cleaning your showerheads and aerators at your sink faucets, or as drastic as replacing sections of blocked pipe," says Clemente.

Cloudy water could be cause for concern
If your water looks cloudy or hazy, it might might have contaminants like bacteria or lead. "If you suddenly see discoloration or cloudiness, that could indicate a potential health risk," says Dr. Hozalski, who adds that you should call your local water utility or state health department to investigate.

Clean your pipes by simply running your tap
It's not just the compounds in our water but the frequency with which we use our pipes that impacts the quality of the water we drink. If the water in your house isn't run for a while, it stagnates, which means over time contaminants build up, the pipes themselves leach material, and the chlorine used to treat the water naturally dissipates, allowing microbes to grow. But the fix is simple: "When you come back from vacation, or even just when you get up in the morning, before you drink from your tap, let the water run a few minutes until it's cold—this essentially flushes out anything that may have accumulated," says Dr. Hozalski. "I think it's best to get the freshest water coming out of the main up and down the street. I've done research on lead, and even in a home that has a lead service connection without any corrosion control, if you just let the water run until it's fresh, you'll usually be below the lead action level." (If you hate to waste water, collect it in a watering can and use it to water your plants.)

Water filters really do work
Because some of the things in your water can't be detected or guarded against, buying a water filter can provide broad-spectrum protection against a range of contaminants. If you want to protect your entire house, you could have filtration installed in your main water line into the home, says Clemente. Such whole house filtration systems could make sense for people with private wells because their water has minerals and iron that could discolor plumbing fixtures. For homeowners using municipal water, however, a simpler point-of-use filtration system is more economical, says Clemente. "A lot of people simply want better-tasting water, so they'll put this filtration system under their kitchen sink and use that as their main source of drinking water." Whether your filter is a device under your sink, a unit at your tap, or a pitcher in your fridge, when shopping for the water filter that best suits your needs, read the packaging to make sure it's been tested to remove the contaminant that's of most concern to you. For example, Dr. Andrews points out there are filters, such as a pitcher manufactured by ZeroWater, that claims to be certified for chromium-6 removal. For a whole-house filter, the Aquasana OptimH20 Reverse Osmosis has been certified as a remover of 97 percent of chromium-6, as well as 66 other common contaminants (including lead and asbestos). Then again, here's how your water filter could still be letting toxins into your glass of water.

An unclean water filter breeds bacteria
The downside of water filters is that they're not maintenance-free. And not only will they lose their effectiveness if they're not cleaned and maintained, but they could turn into a breeding ground for bacteria and possibly pathogens. When water passes through a home filter the chlorine is removed so, for example, the water in your Brita pitcher has no protection against bacteria, which can multiply even in the cold of your fridge. "Bacteria can grow on the carbon in the cartridge, in the pitcher, and in your faucet-mounted device, so you could adversely create a health risk from bacterial exposure," says Dr. Hozalski. "There are recommended replacement intervals explained in the packaging for those devices, and they absolutely need to be followed."

Bottled water isn't the answer
While confidence in public water supplies can be shaken when problems like lead exposure in Flint, Michigan, make headlines, experts say that in general, bottled water isn't the answer. "Tap water, especially filtered tap water, can definitely be as clean or cleaner than many of the bottled waters that you would purchase," says Dr. Andrews. Dr. Hozalski agrees, adding that overdependence on bottled water has a downside. "Putting water in a bottle and trucking it across the country is energetically wasteful and monetarily wasteful when the tap water you already have is just as good," he says. "On my campus we banned the sale of plain bottled water; instead we have a bunch of bottle filling stations." This is the real reason why you should never refill your plastic water bottle.


For two years (2006-7) Ira Glass & company tried porting their highly successful TAL radio show over to television. In the end they decided it was way more work than radio, and not as successful, and they had rotten ratings. So they pulled their own plug after only twelve episodes.
I'd seen most of them. Just once though and they haven't been repeated.
I'm having way too much fun reliving them. The ironic low-key weirdness of TAL shines through in living color.

Small sea-level changes could pose big problems for Calif. coast
Airports, stadiums and housing developments in the Bay Area were built just a few feet over the highest tides on landfill, which means San Francisco International Airport could flood within decades.
Some residents already have been forced to leave their homes in the town of Pacifica, south of San Francisco, due to the erosion of sediment from cliffs. Bluffs and cliffs are retreating in Santa Cruz and San Diego counties, too. Housing developments constructed on sand dunes are threatened and already have been damaged.
"Dunes … can be expected to retreat quickly under rising sea levels and larger waves," concludes a recent report from the National Research Council that contains numerous findings for the West Coast.
"Cliff retreat is not reversible," adds the report. "Although coastal armoring can buy time, today's seawalls and revetments will eventually be overwhelmed by sea-level rise and increasing wave heights. Sand dunes and beaches, which consist primarily of unconsolidated sand, provide little resistance to severe wave attack, especially at times of elevated sea level."
The council finds that sea-level rise and storms already have caused "significant coastal retreat," and its projections for sea levels near California are higher than what the scientists anticipate will occur globally.
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2008 called on state agencies to prepare for rising sea levels and brace for the coastal impacts. His order included a request that the National Research Council assess the expected rise so state officials could use the results. Oregon, Washington state and federal agencies joined in sponsoring the council study. California used interim figures prior to the new report.
Interim guidance on sea-level projections was used when the California Ocean Protection Council in 2011 urged state agencies to consider the problem while making major decisions. It also backed the development of high-resolution maps to help communities make more detailed vulnerability assessments. That year, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission adopted policies requiring the consideration of sea levels in planning major shoreline projects.
Communities and ecosystems on the coastline are susceptible to waves, a threat accelerated by the combination of storms, high tides and El Niño. Large storms and high tides damaged more than 3,000 homes and businesses and caused $200 million in destruction during the early 1980s, for instance.
"Thirty-three oceanfront homes were completely destroyed, and roads, parks and other infrastructure was heavily damaged," the report says. "The damage will likely increase as sea level continues to rise and more of the shoreline is inundated."
It's not just ocean water itself that is to blame. Major earthquakes occurring every few hundred years to 1,000 years can lead to some coastal areas sinking in the short term and causing sea levels to climb, possibly by as much as a meter.
While the report predicts levels could rise as much as 30 centimeters, the low end is 4 centimeters, leavinga wide range of possibility. Scientists attribute that range to the limitations of available models, a lack of complete knowledge about the global climate system and a shortage of necessary data.
"The actual sea-level rise will almost surely fall somewhere within the wide uncertainty bounds, although the exact value cannot be specified with high confidence," the report says.
Based on what we do know, however, how are these rises explained? A warming climate for one, which leads to the expansion of seawater and melting ice caps. Those two are believed to be major contributors, but another is extracted groundwater that eventually reaches the ocean, though the latter's role is poorly measured, the report says.

"The King Of The Double Shuffle" not only holds a spot in the top ten appearance makers for Dundee, but he also holds the distinction of being the club's fourth highest ever goalscorer with an impressive 141 strikes in his 384 games for the club, in which, quite incredibly, he was never booked once.
Cousin also turned out for The Dees during their most successful period, being an ever present player for Dundee as they won the league in 1961/62. Going on to reach the semi-final of the European Cup against AC Milan with the club the next season, Cousin would hit Dundee's consolation goal at the San Siro, one of the four he'd score in that legendary campaign, while the frontman would also score four goals in The Dee's Scottish Cup campaign in 1963/64 as the team became runners up to Rangers.
Considering those feats it's more amazing that Cousin was nearly lost to the game, favouring rugby as his chosen sport at school and only coming to the notice of the football world when he agreed to help out the short of numbers Alloa YMCA team one Saturday afternoon, after having played the oval ball game the same morning.
Two goals that afternoon were enough to make football a more regular occurrence and within a year Cousin would turn out for a Scottish Youth Side that trounced England 8-1. With interest coming from many teams Dundee manager Willie Thornton snapped up the young talent in 1955, while he was still aged only 16.
During March 1956, less than a year after signing, Cousin would make his debut aged 17, with his first goal for the club coming soon after when Dundee played Manchester United in a friendly, triumphing 5-1 over the soon to be legendary Busby Babes.
By modern day standards, it's difficult to believe that Cousin remained part time during his playing career, studying Latin and Greek at St Andrews University while training on his own with a programme made out for him by the Dundee coaching staff. And then with Falkirk three times a week after going on to become a teacher of classics in Alloa.
In his eleven years at Dundee, Cousin would be the club's top scorer in three consecutive seasons - 1957/58, 58/59 and 59/60, while also tucking away 19 goals in the club's 1961/62 Championship winning campaign. By which time he'd also become the club's longest serving player.
Cousin's Dundee career came to end in 1965 when he was sold to Hibernian for £15,000, where he would play an impressive 84 games for the Edinburgh club, although Falkirk would be the hugely respected player's final playing destination, with Cousin making 14 appearances for the Brockville club during the 1969/70 season
Having earned three Scotland Under 23 caps and 2 for the Scottish League XI during his time at Dens, Cousin would be given the honour of being voted into the Dundee Football Club Hall of Fame in 2011, with a well deserved Legends Award.
Sadly, Alan Cousin would pass away in September 2016 aged 78. A genuine Dundee Football Club legend he'll be remembered both as one of their best ever players and a true gentleman.

Last year, in 2014, the BLS initially reported job gains in August at 142,000. Douglas Holtz-Eakin wrote "Disaster!". I couldn't help myself and made fun of Holtz-Eakin.
Not only wasn't the initial August 2014 report a "disaster", but it has since been revised up to 213,000. And 2014 was the best year for employment gains since the '90s. Some "disaster"!
Here is a table of revisions for August since 2005. Note that most of the revisions have been up. This doesn't mean that the August 2015 revision will be up, but it does seem likely. I'm not sure why the BLS has underestimated job growth in August (possibly because of the timing of end of the summer job changes).
Overall I think the August employment report was decent and indicates further improvement in the labor market.
Note: In 2008, the BLS significantly under reported jobs losses. That wasn't surprising since the initial models the BLS used missed turning points (something I wrote about in 2007). The BLS has since improved this model.

RetroIndy: A little game of golf on a rooftop
Miniature golf swept the nation in the 1930s and Indianapolis had a unique course.
RetroIndy: A little game of golf on a rooftop Miniature golf swept the nation in the 1930s and Indianapolis had a unique course. Check out this story on IndyStar.com: http://indy.st/2o9MQUC

Garnet Carter wanted an attraction for guests of his Fairyland Inn on Lookout Mountain in Tennessee.
So, he shrank his beloved golf game into what he called Tom Thumb Golf. Aside from being appropriately named, it kept with the fairyland theme of the inn and it was a game children could easily play. The games were compact and much quicker than a conventional game of golf. Within a few years, there were Tom Thumb courses all over the U.S.
The Test Building (now the Lacy Building) at 54 Monument Circle had Indiana's first "Tom Thumb" miniature golf course. A 1930 advertisement noted it was the only "Tom Thumb Golf Course Roof Garden Course in the World" - yes - on the roof - nine stories up. The course had obstacles we're familiar with now — such as chutes and ramps — but it also incorporated blooming flowers, ornamental trees and trellises to give the roof the feel of a country club and summer garden. Costing just 35 cents, it was a perfect lunchtime destination for those who worked Downtown.
In a 1971 Indianapolis Star column by Lowell Nussbaum, Clifford Battreall, who built the roof course for the building's owner, Skiles Test, in 1929, remembered hauling 150 tons of dirt to the roof for the 18-hole course.

Regular miniature golf greens were made of grass, but the greens at Tom Thumb courses were synthetic with a layer of green-dyed cottonseed hulls on top of a base of dirt.
Tom Thumb courses were located in Irvington; 30th Street and Kessler Boulevard; Michigan Road, just south of Kessler; 54th Street and College Avenue; 49th and Pennsylvania streets; and at Sunny-Links at 62nd Street and Keystone Avenue. Noblesville's Forest Park Tom Thumb course, built in 1926, is one of three originals built in the United States that still operate today.
Most courses didn't last through the Depression, but various forms of miniature golf enjoyed a resurgence in the 1950s. Courses added windmills, tubes, concrete animals and lakes to raise the difficulty level.

A rustic game
Leonidas Gleason, a former landscaper, opened Rustic Gardens at 1500 S. Arlington Ave., in 1930. The course, nestled under shade trees, uses obstacles made of natural materials that give it the appearance of a true golf course. Obstacles in this case could be branches, leaves, or the occasional squirrel. The course is quite possibly the oldest operating miniature golf course in Indiana, if not the country.
Putting through
Putt-Putt Golf came to Indianapolis via North Carolina in the late 1950s, and the city became one of the leading centers for Putt-Putt. The Putt-Putt Professional Golfers Association held their first tournament above the Mason-Dixon line in 1960 at the 54-hole Eagledale Putt-Putt course, near 30th Street and U.S. 52. The courses were simple in design with their synthetic "greens" and signature orange metal bumpers. Each side of town had its own Putt-Putt course. There are no Putt-Putt courses left in Indianapolis, but Puttputt.com lists Columbus, Mishawaka, Fort Wayne and Richmond as still having locations.
There are various forms of miniature golf around Indianapolis, such as Pirates Cove and Glow Golf and mini golf at family fun centers, but it's hard to top playing Tom Thumb golf on the ninth floor of a building overlooking Monument Circle.
Mini Golf at the Indianapolis Museum of Art returns from May 28-Sept. 2 with new artist-designed holes inspired by nature. Take a look at the 2016 course, featuring Willie the Whale.

N.B. This page assumes a familiarity with the original Highlander film.
Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)
"It's time for a new kind of magic."
Directed by Russell Mulcahy.
Starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Virginia Madsen and Michael Ironside
BMM Keywords: So bad it hurts, Incomprehensible, Senseless waste of potential, Gratuitous sex.
The immortals from the first film turn out to be aliens exiled by the evil dictator, General Katana (Ironside), forced to fight for the right to either return to their home planet of Zeist or to become mortal and live out their days on Earth, as Connor McLeod (Lambert) has done. In the future, an aging Connor recovers his powers and his youth when Katana - for no apparent reason - sends two giggling incompetents to kill him. He then teams up with a resurrected Ramirez (Connery), and an ecoterrorist (Madsen) to bring down the ozone shield he helped to create and save the world.
The 'Renegade' Director's Cut apparently makes more sense, but may be just a myth. I certainly know no one who has seen it.
What's wrong with it?
This film is bad on so many levels. For starters, it bears little or no relation to the first film, in which the immortals were weird and mystical, with an unknown source. The degree to which the 'sequel' is not trying is indicated by the fact that the aliens were supposedly exiled over a thousand years after Ramirez was supposed to have been born in Egypt. The playing is lacklustre - even Sean Connery and Michael Ironside seem to be phoning it in; the plot is incomprehensible in parts, and drivel in others. Even the sword fighting is minimal, to say the least, with only really two scenes which can even approximate to decent duels. Yeah, and the continuity is poor.
What's right with it?
Nothing really.
How bad is it really?
Truly appalling. As a sequel it doesn't work, and it lacks the justification of being a watchable movie in its own right.
Best bit (if such there is)?
Umm...No.
What's up with...?
In the bit when Ramirez uses his big burst of telekinesis, why does Amazing Grace play on the bagpipes? He's an Egyptian, and an alien. And how come his katana is stuck in the floor beside him after Connor and the woman leave, yet later on Connor is carrying it instead of his naff little Zeistian sword?
How come Katana isn't dead? He's supposed to be a mortal on Zeist. And why can't he get better help if he rules the whole planet with an iron hand? And why does he send them when Connor is about to kark it from old age anyway?
Production values - Poor. The lighting is not just muted, in places it's hardly there at all. The fight scenes are clunky and awkward, and the SFX is pretty rubbish (a few cheap-looking Quickening rushes and an ozone shield that looks like a Los Angeles sunrise). 14
Dialogue and performances - The dialogue is unbelievably bad, even by action-adventure standards, with the standout piece being the explanation of how the whole Zeist-Earth/Mortal-Immortal gig works between Connor and the ecoterrorist chick, which plays like a badly gaffed version of Who's On First? 17
Plot - There is no plot; only Zool. Slay evil; destroy bad machine. Fire bad; tree pretty. 16
Randomness - For starters, there's the issue of why it's called Highlander II, the alien timewarp and so forth. The question of why Katana bothers to go after him is another issue. Also, how come none of the stuff they do in this one comes up in the first? It's pretty out there, and that's where it needs to stay. 18
Waste of Potential - Maybe Highlander wasn't Citizen Kane, but this isn't even Jeffrey Archer's Kane and Abel. 18
Overall: 83%
Highlander III: The Sorcerer (1994)
"This time it's for eternity."
Directed by Andrew Morahan.
Starring Christopher Lambert and Mario van Peebles
BMM Keywords: Dull, Gratuitous sex.
After four centuries trapped in a cave, the evil immortal Kane ('Super' Mario van Peebles) - who apparently makes the Kurgan look like a pussycat - is freed by development construction. Will they never learn?
This awakening reactivates Connor's full powers, although we learn that he survived a fatal car wreck in the highlands which dispatched the love interest of the original film, and he and Kane kill one of the latter's hapless hench-immortals apiece, before convening for the ultimate showdown, in which Connor wins the prize again. In addition to his mastery of the sword, Kane also possesses the power of illusion, stolen from Connor's second mentor, the sorcerer Nakano, along with his head and his Quickening.
Along the way, there's also a romantic plotline with an archaeologist who uncannily resembles Connor's French Revolution love, and Kane kidnaps Connor's adopted son to use as live bait. At one point they fight on holy ground, and Connor's sword explodes.
The Sorcerer is essentially a rehash of the original with some extra special effects, only this time it isn't novel and different. It's woefully short on swordfights, and 'Super' Mario just lacks the camp malevolence of Clancy 'Kurgan' Brown. Its attempts to rationalise the events of the original are - if less crazed than II's - still fairly stretched. Far more of the film is set in daylight, and the colouration is better than in the original, which actually ends up detracting from the overall atmosphere.
There's some nifty SFX, and the love interest is of a slightly higher calibre than in the original (largely because there's a small child to do the screaming incompetence).
Unlike II, this film is at least watchable. That said, it's still pretty abominable.
Even the swordfights are pretty dull in this one. It says a lot about the overall quality of the film that the best moment is probably 'Super' Mario proving that Kane is out of touch by trying to eat a condom. And no, it's not one of those things you had to be there for; that's really all there is to it.
This whole power of illusion thing in the first place? Fair's fair though; at least this time there is a new kind of magic.
Hench immortals? Why would anyone do it? You know that you're going to end up dead.
The exploding sword? OK, I buy that it's supposed to be some sort of resistance to immortals duelling on holy ground, but since Kane attacked, why does his katana remain intact? Moreover, why doesn't he even try to finish MacLeod off while he's unarmed?
Production values - Pretty good; in fact, almost too good. The whole thing is so well-shot it actually loses the gritty atmosphere of the original because of it. 6
Dialogue and performances - So-so. The dialogue is fairly uninspired, the acting is vaguely competent. Nothing outstandingly bad, but nothing more than workmanlike really. 10
Plot - At best, the plot is patchy. In places, the film feels more like a series of vignettes than a coherent narrative, and the flashbacks to the French Revolution - indeed the entire romantic subplot - feels tacked on, and rather pointless. 14
Randomness - While it has nothing on II, much in The Sorcerer goes unexplained. The exploding sword, Kane's hibernation, the henchlings, the reincarnated lover. 10
Waste of Potential - Less shameless than the second film, as this does not abuse the mighty Sean, but even for a Super Mario van Peebles/Christopher Lambert film, this is pretty slack. 12
Highlander: Endgame (2000)
"It will take two immortals to defeat the ultimate evil. But in the end, there can be only one."
Directed by Douglas Aarniokoski.
Starring Christopher Lambert, Adrian Paul and Bruce Payne (which readers may come to think of as all you need to know).
BMM Keywords: So bad it hurts, Incomprehensible, Dull, Gratuitous sex, Bruce Payne.
Connor's adopted daughter gets blown up, so he goes into seclusion and is kept sedated on holy ground, only the whole place gets shot up and the bomber kills a bunch of other immortals on said holy ground. Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) gets threatened by some guys, then Connor shows up. Flashbacks show us that Connor is being stalked by a now-immortal ex-priest named Jacob Kell (Bruce Payne, the man who understudied for the absent Julian Sands in Warlock III for crying out loud), whom he killed when they burned his mother as a witch, and that the guy's hench-chick is Duncan's ex-wife, whom he stabbed to make her immortal without asking her first. Connor forces Duncan to kill him so that he can gain the strength to fight Kell, who has killed 666 immortals, including his henchlings.
Numerous alternate versions exist, but there is little to suggest that any of them make much more sense than that.
It sucks. Seriously. It's incoherent, the baddies wear these deeply naff outfits and have no sense of theme. Nor is there any explanation as to why they a) work for another immortal in the first place, and b) just sit there and let him kill them. It feels half-formed, and none of the violations of the immortal traditions and rules are addressed in any way.
There are a couple of decent swordfights. Oh, and it completely disowns II by stating outright that none of the immortals have ever known where they come from or why they're immortal.
Terrible, although not quite so bad as the Quickening.
The fight between MacLeod and a Chinese hench immortal is nicely choreographed, but alas cut short.
Even more hench immortals? And these ones seem so enamoured of their boss that they just stand there and let him kill them.
The incredible reviving love interest? The hench-chick is plainly decapitated by Kell, but in some versions appears again at the end.
Killing on holy ground? Not fighting one-on-one? Even the bloody Jurgan followed the rules, and he was just so much more evil than Bruce Payne. Surely if the rules could be circumvented, he'd have done it? As an observation, Kell wears crosses on the soles of his shoes. Is this some insulation against holy ground? Who knows? Who cares?
The hench-chick working with Kell in the first place. She even seems largely immune to Kell's allegedly overwhelming charisma. The idea seems to be that they work together through mutual hate, but they don't really say it.
Production values - As with The Sorcerer, Endgame picks up a few undeserved points for its general production values. It's slickly made and competently directed, with some nicely shot and choreographed action. However, it loses serious points on the editing, whatever cut you watch. 12
Dialogue and performances - Workmanlike. Lambert plods rather morosely through the picture, but Paul is a watchable lead, and shite though he is, Bruce Payne chewing scenery is always reasonable value for your bargain buck. Highlander the Series stalwarts Jim Byrnes and Peter Wingard make a good showing in rather limited cameos, but the love interest is lacklustre. The dialogue is likewise unexceptional, but falls short of risible. 11
Plot - The plot is all over the place, and suffers greatly from its attempt to combine nemeses from the two MacLeods' histories without sufficient rationale or chemistry. 14
Randomness - Oy! Randomness we got! The film feels overfull in places, with the upshot that many, many elements are simply not explained. Ever. 17
Waste of Potential - Unlike the follow-up films, the TV series actually got to be worth watching. That just makes this abomination even worse by comparison. A chance to save the franchise, pissed down the toilet. 20


WTF is the deal with sweetness in wine?
Welcome to another edition of Wine WTFs! In this series we'll explore wine terms and ideas and try to figure out what the fuss is all about. Last time we discovered wtf acidity is all about.
This time around we're going to talk about something you probably know really well already, but maybe not in the context of wine.
You loved it as a kid. Couldn't get enough of it. Maybe you've moved on to other things, or maybe the love affair stayed so long and strong that even your teeth crave it.
But wait – what's the deal with sweetness in wine??
I'm going to be straight with you – almost every wine has sweetness (aka residual sugar) in it. Even the dry ones. Yes, I'm for real. No, I'm not messing with you.
This is because (duh) wine is made of fruit, and fruit contains natural sugars. Even though most of the sugars get converted to alcohol during fermentation, wines usually retain a little bit of sweetness even after fermentation ends. This is called residual sugar and usually ranges from 1 gram per litre (or g/L) to 45g/L. Anything over 45 g/L is considered a sweet wine, but we'll get to that later.
Sometimes winemakers will also add a sweetening agent to wines, either to balance out the wine and sometimes (ack!) to hide a wine's flaws. See exhibit A: many (but not all!) cheap, mass produced wines.
Personally, I find sweetness hard to pin down sometimes. Because regular wines are technically 'dry', you know? So how are you supposed to be able to taste something that's barely there?
And yet, there is a way. A fuzzy or slightly oily feeling on your tongue that lingers after taking a sip can be a clue to a wine's sweetness. Sometimes fruitiness or juiciness can be a clue as well. The tough thing about identifying sweetness in wine is that tannins and acidity often counteract the sweetness, making it hard to taste for.
Some wines, like Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Muscat, come by their higher levels of residual sugar honestly. Others, like many cheaper red wines, often have higher residual sugar in an effort to make them taste fruity and juicy.
Snobby winos would say something about this not being a pure expression of the wine or its terroir. On one hand I agree with them. But on the other hand, if you like drinking your $11 cab sauv, more power to you!
If you want to practice tasting for sweetness then set yourself up with a tasting of at least three wines, all with different levels of residual sugar. Make sure they're at least 5-10g/L apart, and taste them from least amount of sugar to highest. Then lock that sense memory away and you'll have the sweetness thing down pat.
If you're looking for practice in training your palate to understand residual sugar, look no further than the multitude of sweet wines available.
Each type of sweet wine comes with its own method of winemaking. Every method involves some form of concentrating the flavours locked away in grapes.
Icewine is made by letting grapes freeze on the vine and then harvesting them. This makes a wine that retains its fruit character like whoa.
Recioto is made by harvesting grapes and then letting them dry on straw mats in the hot Italian sun. You're basically making wine out of raisins at this point. Holy concentrated flavour!
Some sweet wines are made by letting grapes dry out on the vine, similar to making recioto. Look for 'late harvest' on the bottle for this method.
Sauternes is made by making careful use of a rot called botrytis which eats away at the grape and concentrates the flavours. Winemakers love botrytis so much they call it noble rot.
Also, as we now know, acidity plays a key role in sweet wines. Without acidity these wines would be too sweet for even the sweetest of sweet-tooths to handle!
