Navy says it found fuel in military families' drinking water
December 4, 2021 | BPR Wire | Print Article
Ailan Evans, DCNF
The U.S. Navy announced Thursday that fuel was contaminating military families' drinking water at a well near the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii.
Rear Adm. Blake Converse told reporters at a press conference late Thursday that the Navy had "pretty conclusive indications that there are volatile petroleum products" in drinking water near the base following complaints from families that their drinking water was contaminated. Converse said the well had been taken offline due to the contamination.
"It was just getting worse every day," Cheri Burness, wife of a member of the Navy, told the Associated Press.
Residents reportedly began noticing a peculiar gasoline-like smell in their drinking water following a Nov. 22 fuel leak in the Red Hill underground storage facility near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
Right now, thousands of military personnel and their families are without water at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. In today's hearing with the @USNavy, I demanded answers on the future of #RedHill.
People are suffering, and Hawaiʻi deserves answers and transparency immediately. pic.twitter.com/IpfXzJY06p
— Congressman Kaiali'i Kahele (@RepKahele) December 2, 2021
Burness told the outlet she and many other families complained to the Navy about the drinking water but received little communication from officials, who assured her the water was fine.
"All they had to do was say; 'We see that there's a problem, we don't know what it is and we're going to do whatever it takes to find out and fix it.' That's all they had to do. And instead, we got: 'Nope. Looks good. Smells fine. Bye,'" Burness said.
The Navy said it received health complaints related to the water supply from over 900 homes using the Navy's water system. Converse said the Navy would clean out its water system to get rid of the petroleum products, a process that is estimated to take over a week.
The announcement followed a call by Democratic Hawaii Rep. Kai Kahele, who warned of a "crisis of astronomical proportions" if families lost access to drinking water.

I visited Istanbul in 1998, traveling across Turkey, from Gallipoli, down south to Izmir, Ephesus, Kusadasi and Pammukale. The Bosphorus harbour is a hive of activity, not unlike Hong Kong, with ferryboats to-ing and fro-ing from East to West Istanbul, people fishing, fishing boats, petty traders, newspaper sellers and freshly grilled sardines by the waterfront. Standing majestically in the backdrop on hill is the unmistakable Haghia Sophia dome with its minarets reaching out into the heavens.
We hope to return to Istanbul with a small group to do it justice again, photographing the narrow streets in Sultanahmet, the palaces and history buildings, and of course the amusing residents of this great City.

From virtual tours to online bookings: Indian real estate takes a giant digital leap
With more than 85 lakh registered users, Saurabh Garg, Co-founder & CBO of NoBroker.com says his portal has seen a sudden uptick.
Sector is likely to make a strong comeback which even RBI has projected for the next fiscal year, says Mani Rangarajan, COO, Housing.com
Shruti Mishra
@ShrutiMishra_
With construction work at a complete standstill, projects getting deferred, the already ailing real estate sector has been crippled with the COVID-19 pandemic. The sector now looks at government support to bring business back on track!
But there is a silver lining - the transformation the industry has undergone in a matter of days.
Changes that industry stalwarts had imagined would only happen in a distant future have happened overnight. For instance, from the time when a physical property visit was indispensable to rent or buy a property, to today where startups are seeing numerous customers finalising properties for rent, via video walkthroughs!
While the concept is not new and is being practiced in most developed countries, for India it is a giant leap! Amit Agarwal, Co-founder & CEO of NoBroker.com, a tech-based brokerage-free real estate platform, tells me he was overwhelmed to see many owners and seekers already onboarded on the shift.
READ MORE: Innovations in construction is key to selling real estate amid COVID-19 crisis
"To our surprise, many home-seekers were quickly onboarded on the process. We thought we would pilot it, but what we have today is over 200 successful cases of tenants finalising homes only via video walkthroughs and without an actual property visit. Come to think of it, it is not phones or books or vegetables that one is ordering or booking online. It is a home that people would stay in. It is a big decision," Agarwal said.
A similar sentiment echoes Uday Lakkar, Founder and CEO of co-living space CoHO.in, 'The use of virtual tours of CoHo properties have increased with newer tenants who are approaching for moving in post the lockdown'.
"So its technology seems to be saving the gigantic industry that has been pulled down by multiple factors. From online discovery to online rent payment and rental agreement, technology has helped the sector come a long way. And video-walkthroughs are poised to give a new facelift to the staggering sector," believes Amit.
"Now that customers have had a taste of it, we hope that the trend continues beyond the lockdown period. We will continue to make this experience even better and smoother as we believe that technology has the power to achieve which could only be thought of and wished for in real estate," he said.

With social distancing getting engrained in people and the enhanced sense of sanitisation setting in - may lead people towards a more digitised world, believe many real estate players. And another sensational aspect of the change that they are seeing is the payment of rent, via credit cards!
With more than 85 lakh registered users, Saurabh Garg, Co-founder & CBO of NoBroker.com says his portal has seen a sudden uptick, a jump of 34 percent in the number of people availing the service of rent payment via credit cards (comparing February and April 2020). 'Credits cards offer the much-needed buffer period or flexibility for tenants to make the payment. It ensures that the rent gets paid to landlords in time and tenants do not have to face a liquidity crisis. They get almost 45 days of the free credit period.'
In fact, Housing.com today also launched the 'Pay Rent' platform on its mobile app to facilitate rent transfers using a credit card. The 'Pay Rent' platform will allow users to transfer rent directly to their landlord's bank account and generate digital receipts instantly.
This also shows that the pandemic has set into motion a more disciplined and more efficient way of closing transactions that would only benefit the real estate sector.
But on the other hand, consumer behavior may undergo drastic changes. Mani Rangarajan, Group COO, Housing.com, Makaan.com, and Proptiger.com say 'Both residential and commercial segments in real estate will suffer a significant downfall due to the unprecedented situation. But Indian economics' fundamental is strong and the sector is likely to make a strong comeback which even RBI has projected for the next fiscal year.
READ MORE: India real estate sentiment at its lowest: Knight Frank survey
RBI has already announced several measures to offset the damage including a sharp reduction in interest rates both repo and reverse repo. Besides, it has also infused liquidity in the banking system which will help all interest-sensitive sectors including the real estate sector. It is likely that the government will also announce some measures for Indian industries particularly those impacted by COVID-19 in severe proportion'.
A strong comeback in the long term may be true, as almost 30 percent of people in India live on rent and 13 percent in their parent's house reveals the RICS - Knight Frank report, 2019. So the demand may come back within the next couple of quarters, but in the short term, the demand will remain low.
And this low demand has led many players to come up with innovative ideas that offer more options to prospective buyers. Group COO of one of India's largest digital real estate companies, Mani says 'We have launched a relief package named Housing Cares, under which the company will offer discounts and extended validity on its products. This move will enable every partner - brokers, sellers, and developers - to make up for the lost time through heavy discounts on all ad packages, extended validity of up to one month on packages, flexibility to choose launch date of services and attractive discounts and benefits on visualisation products'.
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change" - Charles Darwin
Tech-enabled, co-living player, CoHo.in is quite literally following this theory to the tee. The venture has launched 'Project Darwin' for its team to adapt rapidly to the constant changes, especially for a business with high physical touch-point like co-living and student housing. CoHo also claims that its taking many measures to ensure the emotional and psychological well-being of residents and the staff present in their operational properties.
Founder and CEO of CoHo.in, Uday also says that the impact of the ongoing pandemic on the co-living industry will not be just a temporary phase. 'Currently, the industry might see distortion in the value chain, cash flow mismatches, reduced spending propensity by the consumer, but in the long run, the product might augment with more cleanliness and hygiene measures taken, more digital community engagements. The use case of the offering would still remain strong, with a few modifications in the new world order'.
Moreover, the newer trends of work-from-home will benefit co-living as it shall expand its scope and augment its offering to capture this demand. With weaker buying sentiment, real estate supply will see more unsold inventory and alternative uses of assets like managed rental living, co-living and student housing could gain more developer/asset owner interest over the coming quarters believes Uday.
While the industry awaits government support and hopes for a few revisions in GST, stamp duty, registration charges and lower interest rates, one thing is for certain, once the pandemic is over the real estate sector would have entered a more efficient, a more digitally equipped era!

Teachers' Perceptions About Math Snacks Spanish Materials

Mathematics has been a gatekeeper especially for diverse students (Martin, Gholson & Leonard, 2010). The implications of an increasingly diverse school population calls for the development of culturally and linguistically responsive materials, including support materials for mathematics in Spanish. Teachers of mathematics in the United States have limited resources available to them in Spanish to support bridging mathematics content and practices for English Learners (Moschkovich, 2013). The CCSS-M requires deep conceptual understanding in order for students to be successful in their formal K-12 education. Students, whose home language is other than English, need support and opportunities to success in mathematics classrooms. According to Wright (2010), a practice that could support these students is to learn new conceptual ideas in one's native language and then in English. Also, literature indicates the need of rich contexts to support learning content reducing cognitive demands due to language (Khisty, 1995). Educational games/animations could provide context for mathematics learning.

THIS year (2019) marks the tenth anniversary of a special publication of a Robert Burns book which was discovered in the collection of one of his greatest admirers – Sir Walter Scott.
Scott's library at Abbotsford, his home near Melrose in the Scottish Borders, and its 9,000 books are owned and preserved by the Faculty of Advocates Abbotsford Collection Trust. Scott was an advocate as well as a world-renowned writer, and is the Faculty's most celebrated member.
Between 2003 and 2013, Advocates Library staff catalogued Scott's library, and many significant discoveries were made, including a slight volume, The Fornicators Court, written by Burns in 1786. Also known as Libel Summons or The Court of Equity, it is a bawdy poem taking a humorously satirical look at the disciplinary practices of the Presbyterian Kirk Session in relation to sexual matters.
Only a handful of books of the poem were printed privately in Edinburgh in 1823, and one copy was acquired by Scott. He and Burns had met in Edinburgh when Scott was a teenager, and he maintained a lifelong fascination with him. He called Burns his "favourite author".
Scott kept another piece of Burns heritage in the book – the only complete manuscript in Burns' hand of the lyrics of the song, O saw ye my Maggie. At the end of the song, Burns had added a spoof will, bequeathing the copyright to Alexander Findlater, his friend and supervisor in the Excise Office. The "will" is in large, sprawling writing, and the suspicion is that it had been written while the two men enjoyed a highly convivial evening.
Scott inscribed 'Autograph of Burns' on the back of the last page of the book, and this is thought to be the only time that the handwriting of the two literary giants appeared together.
In 2009, a limited edition facsimile version of Scott's copy of The Fornicators Court, with the manuscript and "will", was published by The Abbotsford Library Project Trust and the Faculty, proceeds going towards conservation of the library.
In an introduction, Gerald Carruthers and Pauline Anne Gray, of the Centre for Robert Burns Studies, University of Glasgow, said: "It is an item that links those two of Scotland's writers who do more than any others to broadcast to the modern world the idea of Scotland, and highlights their conjunction also as creative artists interested in the more intimate spaces of human culture."
More information at http://www.advocates.org.uk/faculty-of-advocates/the-advocates-library/abbotsford
The Burns ballad, The Dean of Faculty, was written about his great friend and patron, Henry Erskine, who served as Dean from 1786 to 1796, and later was Lord Advocate. The two men had been introduced at a masonic lodge on one of Burns' visits to Edinburgh. At the time, lodges attracted many people who believed society should be reformed according to the principles of the Enlightenment.
Through Erskine, Burns made many contacts with the Edinburgh literati, and he was introduced to the city's chief publisher, William Creech, who published the Edinburgh edition of Burns' Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect.

LONDON (AP) A criminal investigation into allegations of World Cup bidding corruption could be opened in Britain, with authorities urging whistleblowers to come forward with information.
The Serious Fraud Office is pursuing ''every reasonable line of inquiry, including working closely with appropriate overseas authorities,'' the government department said according to a letter sent to a British legislator.
The Swiss attorney general has already received a criminal complaint from FIFA against possible law-breaking by unnamed individuals mentioned in the investigation into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process.
Damian Collins, a member of the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee, has been pushing the Serious Fraud Office to open an investigation. The Conservative Party parliamentarian also plans to meet two whistleblowers who provided evidence to FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia for the corruption report.
''Plainly, the Serious Fraud Office welcomes any additional information that may assist in determining whether a criminal investigation should be opened,'' SFO general counsel Alun Milford says in the letter to Collins seen by The Associated Press. ''I encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward and discuss it, in strict confidence, with our Intelligence Unit.
But it remains unclear whether the Serious Fraud Office would have jurisdiction to open a case in Britain unless any wrongdoing can be linked to the country.
Although the Swiss authorities have a full copy of the bid probe, the 430-page report into impropriety remains secret, with only a 42-page summary judgment from FIFA ethics judge Joachim Eckert having been published.
The British government wrote to FIFA President Sepp Blatter this week calling for the release of the full investigation after a previous request was rebuffed from the English Football Association, whose conduct in bidding for the 2018 World Cup was criticized in Eckert's report.
Eckert said there is not enough evidence to strip Russia of the 2018 World Cup or Qatar of the 2022 tournament, which were both awarded in a December 2010 vote by FIFA's executive committee.
There has been disquiet from some of FIFA's sponsors, but no anger or demand for the public to see the Garcia report.

Der Halbdollar wurde 1794 zum ersten Mal geprägt. Alle frühen Typen tragen auf der Vorderseite ein Bildnis der Liberty und auf der Rückseite einen Wappenadler. Benannt nach den verschiedenen Liberty-Darstellungen werden folgende Typen unterschieden:
 Flowing Hair Half Dollar (1794–1795)
 Draped Bust Half Dollar (1796–1807)
 Capped Bust Half Dollar (1807–1839)
 Seated Liberty Half Dollar (1839–1891)
 Barber Half Dollar (1892–1915)
 Walking Liberty Half Dollar (1916–1947)

Franklin Half Dollar

Der "Franklin Half" wurde von 1948 bis 1963 geprägt. Er zeigt auf der Vorderseite Benjamin Franklin und auf der Rückseite die Liberty Bell. Das Design stammt von John R. Sinnock.

Kennedy Half Dollar
Der "Kennedy Half" ersetzte 1964, nur drei Monate nach der Ermordung Kennedys, den "Franklin Half". Die Vorderseite zeigt das Porträt John F. Kennedys, gestaltet von Frank Gasparro; die Rückseite zeigt das Siegel des Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten und wurde ebenfalls von Frank Gasparro gestaltet.

Die Prägungen von 1964 bestanden noch wie die früheren Halbdollars aus 90 % Silber (bei einem Gewicht von 12,5 Gramm). Wegen des steigenden Silberpreises wurde die Münze von 1965 bis 1970 nur noch mit einem Silbergehalt von 40 % und einem Gewicht von 11,5 Gramm geprägt. Ab 1971 wurde, wie schon zuvor beim Vierteldollar und beim Dime, auf das Silber ganz verzichtet und mit Kupfer-Nickel beschichtetes Kupfer verwendet.

1976 trug der Halbdollar zum Zweihundert-Jahr-Jubiläum der Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeit ein spezielles Rückseitenmotiv mit der Independence Hall.

Der Halbdollar im Umlauf
In der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts hatte der Halbdollar noch eine große Bedeutung für den Zahlungsverkehr. In den 1960er Jahren führten der steigende Silberpreis, aber auch das neue Motiv mit dem beliebten Präsidenten Kennedy dazu, dass die Münze in großem Ausmaß gehortet wurde. 1971, als das Nominal erstmals ohne Silberanteil geprägt wurde, hatte sich die Bevölkerung bereits an den Zahlungsverkehr ohne Halbdollar gewöhnt und verwendete die Münze kaum mehr. Die meisten Münzautomaten akzeptieren keine Halbdollars, was die Münze zusätzlich unattraktiv als Zahlungsmittel macht. Da es noch Reserven aus früheren Jahren gibt, welche die geringe Nachfrage problemlos decken können, werden seit 2001 Halbdollars nur noch in kleiner Auflage für Sammler geprägt.

Technische Daten
Seit 1971 besteht die Münze aus einem Kupferkern und einer Beschichtung aus einer Kupfer-Nickel-Legierung. Die Gewichtsanteile (bezogen auf die ganze Münze) betragen 91,67 % Kupfer und 8,33 % Nickel.

Die Münze ist 11,34 Gramm schwer bei einem Durchmesser von 30,61 Millimeter und einer Dicke von 2,15 Millimeter. Der Rand ist geriffelt (150 Rillen).

This year at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), an annual event dedicated to showcasing film and television content by and about people of African descent, filmmaker Ayoka Cheniza was awarded with the 2018 Kathleen Collins Innovator Award. Chenzira was presented with the accolade on Saturday June 16th, at a talkback panel (Black Women and Experimental Storytelling: Emerging Technologies and Innovations in Cinema) held at the Betsy Hotel in Miami Beach. The event also featured a screening of selected works from all the 2018 Kathleen Collins Innovators – of which there are a total of three. Alongside Cheniza were fellow panelists: Natalie Bullock Brown (filmmaker and scholar best known for Baartman and Beyoncé & Me, and Taura Musgrove, a multimedia filmmaker known to audiences for her project Freedom Fighter. The event was organized by Daughters of Eve which is headed by sisters Terri Prettyman Bowles and Michele Prettyman Beverly, and sponsored by Facebook.
Chenzira's pioneer award marked the recognition of her body of work by the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), now in its 22nd year. Since its inception in 1997, the festival has made it a point to support the work and talent of both emerging and pioneering artists, while also fostering a wider range of images, stories and storytellers represented in the entertainment industry. With approximately 10,000 attendees each year, and five action packed days of films, engaging panels, networking events, the ABFF is considered the nation's largest gathering of Black film and TV enthusiasts. This year the event will take place in Miami Beach, from June 13-17, 2018.
Chenzira, an independent and pioneering African American filmmaker, has earned international acclaim for her work in experimental, fiction, documentary, animation, and cross-genre productions.
Chenzira is most recognized for her film work that addresses marginality and invisibility on screen in American cinema, and the representations of existing social norms around race, class and gender. Among her most noteworthy work are pieces featured on her iconic collection of the Black Indie Classics (Volume I) – which was re-released this past February 2018. Ayoka's beautifully assembled two-disc boxed set four of Ayoka's early critically acclaimed and award-winning films including one of the first 35mm features to be written, directed and produced by an African American female filmmaker, Alma's Rainbow (1993), a coming-of-age comedy-drama about a young Black girl growing up in Brooklyn, and satire short Hair Piece: A Film for Nappyheaded People (1984), that taps into how identities are mediated, the politics of the natural hair movement, and growing up Black in urban America. These films have been recognized for their ability to critically explore female agency and self-image, as well as the lived experiences of marginalized women.
Most recently, Chenzira was tapped by award-winning writer, producer, and director Ava DuVernay, to direct a season three episode of the beloved television series, Queen Sugar. This marked Chenzira's primetime television directorial debut.
Currently, Chenzira is a professor at Spelman College where she is the Division Chair of the Arts.
Ayoka Chenzira of AYOmentary Productions is a filmmaker, digital media artist and transmedia storyteller who has been producing work since the later 1970's.

AL East Being The Best Overall Division Great For MLB
(Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images)
Lots of MLB teams are still looking to cement their positions as playoff-bound clubs, with a month left on the regular-season calendar.
Most divisions have one or two teams fighting for a spot, maybe three tops.
The American League East division, however, has four organizations with legitimate chances of making it to the postseason: the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Al East Will Likely Have Three Playoff Teams In 2021
In fact, if the season ended today, three clubs would be invited to October: the Rays, Yankees, and Red Sox.
Good morning. Here's the playoff picture on Sept. 1.
AL Divisions: Rays, Astros, White Sox
WC: Yankees, Red Sox
NL: Giants, Brewers, Braves
WC: Dodgers, Reds-Padres (tied)
How much will things change (if at all)?
— Britt Ghiroli (@Britt_Ghiroli) September 1, 2021
Tampa leads the pack with a fantastic 84-50 record, by far the best in the AL.
In fact, the Rays are the only team in the junior circuit with at least 80 wins.
The Yankees are second in the East with a 77-56 record, 6.5 games behind the Rays; while the Red Sox are 77-59.
Toronto is a bit behind, at 70-62, but it still has a mathematical chance even though it's not a realistic one.
MLB surely loves the fact that the AL East is the best division, and four of its teams are pushing to make the postseason.
By now, it is evident that the Yankees' hypothetical presence in the postseason is great for the league.
People either love the Yankees or love to see them lose, thus increasing ratings for the league to enjoy.
Boston is, additionally, a big-market team with recent success and a rich history.
Fans love to see the Red Sox in the playoffs, and this year's team has a very good manager in Alex Cora and some exciting players in Chris Sale, Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, JD Martinez, and others.
Tampa is one of MLB's very best teams, with a modern, analytics-driven approach that has definitely captivated the new generations of fans.
They have a unique way of managing their organization, with an emphasis on player development and resource maximization.
They are a successful club that has been excellent for years, even reaching the World Series in 2020.
And while the Blue Jays are more of a 2022 candidate than a 2021 one, they are an exciting organization with lots of young stars, highlighted by slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette.
Baltimore Is The Only Problem
The only current problem of the AL East is the Baltimore Orioles and their evident incompetence.
As of Friday afternoon, Baltimore has the worst record of the league, at 41-91.
They recently lost 19 games in a row, and the Rays went 18-1 against them in the 2021 regular season.
Rays go 18-1 vs. O's this year. They are the 3rd team in the divisional era to win 18 against a single opponent. @MLBNetwork
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) August 29, 2021
The competitive difference between the top four AL East teams and the Orioles is truly abysmal, and makes you wonder if the league should do something to intervene.
Luckily, Baltimore shouldn't be so bad next year, and hopefully it comes somewhat close to the top four.
For now, it looks like the AL East will include three of their five teams in the 2021 playoffs.
MLB surely isn't complaining, although each of the three clubs must secure its postseason berth with a solid September.

1) In general, messaging (also called electronic messaging ) is the creation, storage, exchange, and management of text, images, voice, telex, fax , e-mail, paging, and Electronic Data Interchange ( EDI ) over a communications network.
2) In programming, messaging is the exchange of message s (specially-formatted data describing events, requests, and replies) to a messaging server , which acts as a message exchange program for client programs. There are two major messaging server models: the point-to-point model and the publish/subscribe model. Messaging allows programs to share common message-handling code, to isolate resources and interdependencies, and to easily handle an increase in message volume. Messaging also makes it easier for programs to communicate across different programming environments (languages, compilers, and operating systems) since the only thing that each environment needs to understand is the common messaging format and protocol.
IBM's MQSeries and Sun Microsystems Java Message Service ( JMS ) are examples of products that provide messaging interfaces and services.


Cardinal Blase Cupich said Monday he has no plans to increase security at Catholic churches in the Chicago archdiocese in the wake of a church shooting in Texas that's left 26 people dead.
"I don't want to make our churches places in which people feel as though they should be fearful about coming in," he said.
"One we begin in some way to make our churches these safety zones in a military style approach I think that we're going to lose something in the character of our places of worship," Cupich said Monday while chatting with reporters after speaking at an event hosted by the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics on the Hyde Park campus.
"We do look at always making sure our communities are safe. One of the ways of course is banning guns all together in our churches, which we have done," he said.
In September Cupich issued a decree banning guns from all schools, churches and other archdiocese buildings.
Cupich called the church shooting — which comes more than two years after white supremacist Dylan Roof killed nine people at an African American church in Charleston, S.C. — "the height of insanity" and called for legislation banning high powered weapons.
"We don't need military weapons in our society. We're not supposed to be at war with one another. Let's make sure that we don't have weapons to declare war on each other," he said.
The reason, after so many mass shootings such weapons are still available, Cupich said, is greed.
"Quite frankly it's because there's too much money, this is very lucrative business," he said.

Restore America's Estuaries December 2, 2021 December 14, 2021
By Daniel Hayden
You probably have a story about why you care about estuaries and bays that form a part o f who you are. For me, there is nothing that replicates the experience of kayaking at sunset, watching the seasonal migration of birds, or sitting on a park bench watching the ships pull into port. Estuaries and bays are places of contemplation, celebration, and recreation.
With year-end fast approaching, we at Restore America's Estuaries (RAE) are both proud of the accomplishments that we have been able to achieve in 2021 and deeply thankful for the support that helped make these accomplishments possible. This past year was one to remember at RAE, with major successes as well as significant progress and we could not have done it without your support.
2021 HIGHLIGHTS
Improving Coastal Resiliency: Our coasts are in jeopardy from many threats. To help protect coastal communities from rising sea levels, more frequent and powerful storms, and other impacts of climate change, RAE invests in coastal resiliency nationwide. In 2021, through various public and private funding mechanisms, we facilitated more than $3.2 million in grants to support restoration projects from coast to coast that clean water, mitigate floods, and restore vital habitat for fish and wildlife.
Expanding the Use of Living Shorelines: In October we hosted a workshop for 300 practitioners from around the world to learn about the benefits of Living Shorelines and how they can implement nature-based solutions. The science and data show us that nature-based solutions are often the most cost effective and resilient ways to protect and restore shorelines. Through convenings such as this, RAE supports coastal communities' ability to increase resiliency and adapt to our changing climate.
Combatting Climate Change Via Blue Carbon: Wetlands and seagrasses sequester greenhouse gases more effectively on a per-acre basis than even forests, through a process known as Blue Carbon. RAE is a national leader in promoting the science and practice of Blue Carbon, advancing a powerful tool to finance efforts to limit impacts of climate change. RAE has advised Congress on two important pieces of Blue Carbon legislation. In 2021, RAE hosted the Blue Carbon National Working Group, a cohort of scientists, practitioners, and policy makers, to address gaps in the science, policy and economics of Blue Carbon, and draft recommendations for the Administration and federal agencies to implement Blue Carbon protections and restoration in national coastal conservation efforts.
Launching the Inclusive Coasts Initiative: The Inclusive Coasts Initiative aims to address unequal access to funding within the coastal community that perpetuates environmental injustice. Building upon RAE's diversity, equity, and inclusion work over the past decade, the Initiative will plan and host workshops to help grant makers and project implementers nationwide examine and refine processes to increase inclusivity and better serve the needs of traditionally underrepresented communities who all too often have not had access to funding, but bear the costs of environmental degradation and pollution.
Putting Value to Our Estuaries: We all know estuaries and bays are valuable, but sometimes it is hard to put a number on just how great that value is. This year RAE published The Economic Value of America's Estuaries: 2021 Report, an update of our 2008 economics report. We took a case-study approach to quantify the nature-based benefits of healthy estuaries and their value to infrastructure, local economies and carbon sequestration. This data-driven approach will be key to our ongoing advocacy for coastal restoration and demonstrating the financial benefit of protecting and restoring our nation's coasts through supporting the marine economy, protecting communities, and efficiently sequestering carbon.
As a friend of Restore America's Estuaries, we hope that you will consider supporting our continued efforts to protect and restore our coasts in 2022 before the year closes. To make a tax-deductible donation to RAE, visit www.estuaries.org/donate/. Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season and new year.

NFL betting sites allow members to wager on all of the games played under the National Football League, including pre-season, regular season and playoff games as well as the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl. You'll usually find NFL betting opportunities at online betting sites by clicking on the betting market links for Football, American Football or NFL betting. The best NFL betting sites include large lucrative bonuses, a variety of available betting options, friendly customer support representatives, a number of ways to deposit and withdraw money, and advanced software that is intuitive to use.
Straight bets simply predict the outcome of an NFL game, while parlays can be used to combine several straight bets into a single wager. Futures are used to wager on major events, such as the Pro Bowl or Super Bowl, months before the teams are decided. Proposition bets are those placed during an NFL game, usually on specific events that could occur such as the score at halftime, the next team to score or how many touchdowns are particular quarterback will throw during a certain quarter.
Most NFL betting sites offer several lucrative promotions for players to choose from. Some promotions are offered throughout the year, while others pertain to specific events such as the playoffs or the AFC and NFC championships. One of the most common bonus types is the initial deposit bonuses, which is a bonus awarded when you make your very first deposit. Typically, the site will match a certain percentage of this deposit and place it in your account as bonus dollars, up to a maximum value. Reload bonuses work similarly, though they may be smaller in size and only available on certain days.
Refer a Friend bonuses reward you for referring friends to the site with which you're registered. In most cases, you'll receive a flat bonus amount such as $20 or $50 for each friend you refer. Alternatively, you might receive a bonus equal to a percentage of your friend's first deposit. The best NFL betting sites don't limit the number of friends you can refer.
Other bonuses usually include free bets or parlay bonuses in which you can add a team for free. For example, you might create a six team parlay on the outcome of six different NFL games on a given Sunday, with a seventh team added as a free bonus.
NFL betting sites usually offer customer service in more than one way, with popular methods including email, live chat, phone and fax. Many bettors prefer phone and live chat, since they allow you to receive answers to pressing questions in only a few moments. If the site only offers email as a support option, it should supplement this with an extensive FAQ section that answers most of the questions posed regularly by members. The FAQ itself should be searchable and divided into different categories for concerns such as accounts, betting options, betting markets and more.
Service should be offered 24/7, free of charge. Phone support, however, may incur fees for members in certain geographical areas.
Most NFL betting sites offer their wagering software right in your web browser. This allows you to access NFL betting with any operating system and most updated web browsers. It also prevents that you wasting hard drive space, which downloadable betting applications require. The software itself should offer an intuitive betting experience in which you can choose upcoming NFL games and place wagers on each using different betting options.
The best NFL betting sites typically offer streaming video, which allows you to watch NFL games that are currently underway. This is perfect for proposition bettors, as they can use the information in the video streams to make the most informed real time bets through live betting software features.


2016-05-10 Good price and service but really slow shipping, almost 2 weeks.
2014-03-14 Fast, efficient, and thoughtful. I found this website while googleing (googling?) some plastic sheeting. Order was well packaged and thoughtful follow up letter sealed the deal. Thanks for the help and high quality product.

The company is bringing a solution to an industry plagued by uncertainty and blind faith. With Medipedia's platform, people can now find quality service at a reasonable price.
Every year, thousands of people travel to South Korea procuring medical services. While some may get what they're looking for, many others are defrauded, pay exorbitant prices, or never really find what they need.
We've all heard a story or two about people traveling halfway across the world in search of a miracle cure — or cheaper plastic surgery. Very often, these individuals face the difficult challenge of having to dig up information on their own.
Although Google has helped increase the data available to society, there are still specific areas not even the search engine can reach. Whether it is due to a language barrier or just because the information isn't available online, there's only so much one can do on their own.
Fortunately, Medipedia has come up with an ingenious solution to address all these market issues. The platform makes use of the blockchain technology to provide a system where information is securely stored and available from anywhere in the world.
The system is quite simple, too — as simple as a Google search. When accessing the platform, you fill in a request for whatever medical specialty you need, and Medipedia sends this request automatically to all the relevant medical providers.
You will now receive different offers from the various professionals available. To discourage any price wars between the medical providers, you're the only one capable of reviewing the proposals they send. This method ensures medical providers suggest a price which they believe matches their offering, instead of competing with other institutions.
Once you've narrowed down a list of medical providers you're interested in, Medipedia's platform goes the extra mile. Before incurring travel expenses only to be seen by a doctor you're not happy with, the system gives you the option to have an online consultation.
Medipedia's online consultation feature fixes an issue many medical tourists have faced in the past. You see, very often, patients receive a projected cost of how much their treatment will cost, until the doctor sees them and that price escalates.
This is now a thing of the past — patients can now travel having previously established a relationship with their doctor, and knowing the full cost of their medical treatments.
Although Medipedia is a relatively new venture, it has already partnered with several South Korea-based hospitals, and it is holding an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) later this year, in October. However, if you can't wait to be a part of this exciting project, their pre-sale starts right next month.

Every Orang Utan is an individual, as different as we are from one another.
Making eye contact with Kiani can be disturbing. Locking onto the intensely intelligent chestnut gaze of my old friend, I feel I am being interrogated – asked to account for myself. This is a face I have been looking into for 37 years, watching an orphaned infant clinging to her twin brother grow into motherhood herself and eventually to be the formidable personality she is today. Her daughter Gabbi's tilted almond eyes have a slightly shy querying look. She lacks the raw challenge of her mother's expression. Mother and daughter with such different eyes and different personalities.
When a phone call interrupts one of our art sessions, I watch the expressions flitting across Kiani's face as a talk and realise that she is mirroring my own. In Kiani's face I find questions of my own – including that of what engages and holds her interest. Drawing is initially enough. Kiani smiles at a drawing of herself, but quickly loses interest when I begin a drawing of her daughter. I hold up a mirror for her and she smiles the same way that she does at her portrait. Gabby sometimes approaches, but is pushed away by her mother. Willow a female at Taronga zoo is less egotistical. She has even left freshly provided food to sit on the other side of the glass from me and watch as I draw her male companion.
After a time it becomes clear that drawing is losing its appeal, so I bring clay and begin modelling a variety of forms. In the first instance, Kiani is so entranced that she actually welcomes Gabby to join us, slinging an arm around her back as they huddle close to the glass watching forms emerge from the clay.
I make pinch pot nests and roll little clay eggs to put into them. When mother and daughter are subsequently given their own balls of clay as a behavioural enrichment exercise, Kiani immediately handles hers like a professional. She slaps it into her palm and rolls it as I have shown her, then carefully pinches off a piece at a time and, delicately using one finger, rolls a series of tiny eggs, grouping them together on the deck in front of her. She works left handed, as I do. Gabby's approach is more investigative. She rolls her ball into a fat sausage, then carries it up to a spiggot where she wets the clay and tests its new slipperiness. She puts it on the deck and uses a piece of fire hose to flatten it. Mother and daughter confronted with the same 'teaching', demonstrate two clearly defined responses – imitative and experimental. This provides a clue to how cultures arise in some wild populations of Sumatran Orang Utans.
Recognition of individuality and self-awareness highlights the importance of providing optimum living conditions for Orang Utans living in captivity. They need more than food and shelter – they need a life of the mind. They should be leading lives that afford them a degree of satisfaction in their existence. This is why I hope that through art, we can help enrich the lives of Orangutans living in captivity or awaiting release at Nyaru Menteng.

Il Densu Building o  è un grattacielo situato nella zona Shiodome di Minato, Tokyo, in Giappone. L'edificio ospita gli uffici societari della Dentsu.

Alto 213,34 m, consta di 48 piani ed è l'undicesimo edificio più alto di Tokyo e il secondo più alto di Shiodome. Fu progettato dall'architetto francese Jean Nouvel e completato nel 2002. Fu costruito nel luogo della prima stazione dei treni di Tokyo, e si trova a fianco del giardino di Hamarikyū, anticamente il luogo di una casa di vacanza dello shōgun. Il Dentsu Building è un esempio di architettura contemporanea, includendo collettori sul tetto per utilizzare l'acqua piovana per il suo sistema di tubazioni, nonché punti di ceramica nelle finestre che, insieme a persiane computerizzate, controllano la climatizzazione. Il Dentsu Building ha 70 ascensori, incluso uno speciale riservato solo per i VIP e l'alta dirigenza.

Ad eccezione del fango, tutti i materiali di scarto prodotti nella costruzione del Dentsu Building furono riciclati.

Todos os tipos primitivos do .NET são suportados, incluindo suas versões anuláveis: `Nullable<?>`.

* `string`
* `bool` ou `bool?`
* `decimal` ou `decimal?`
* `double` ou `double?`
* `int` ou `int?`
* `uint` ou `uint?`
* `DateTime` ou `DateTime?`
* `byte` ou `byte?`
* `short` ou `short?`
* `ushort` ou `ushort?`
* `long` ou `long?`
* `ulong` ou `ulong?`
* `float` ou `float?`
* `char` ou `char?`
* `Enum`/`Enum Flags` ou `Enum?`
* `Generic collections` (`IEnumerable`, `IList`, `ICollection`)
* `Arrays`

**Sintaxe genérica:**

```
[action-name ][-|/|--][argument-name][=|:| ][value]
```

**Sintaxe para `string`:**

As `strings` podem ser utilizadas de duas formas:

* Texto com espaços: Utilize aspas `" "` para textos com espaços. Do contrário você terá um erro de parse.
* Texto sem espaços: Não é obrigatório o uso de aspas, basta inserir seu valor diretamente.

```
MyApp.exe --my-string oneWord
MyApp.exe --my-string "oneWord"
MyApp.exe --my-string "two words"
```

**Sintaxe para `char`:**

Assim como em .NET os chars podem ter valores com apenas um caracter ou com um número que represente seu valor na escala de caracteres.

```
MyApp.exe --my-char 1
MyApp.exe --my-char A
```

**Sintaxe para `int`, `long`, `short` e suas variações "u" :**

São entradas númericas onde a única regra é o valor inserido não ultrapassar o limite de cada tipo.

```
MyApp.exe --my-number 1
MyApp.exe --my-number 2
MyApp.exe --my-number 999999
```

**Sintaxe para `decimal`, `double` e `float`:**

Para esses tipos é possível utilizar números inteiros ou números decimais. Só fique atento para a configuração de cultura da sua aplicação. Se for `pt-br` utilize o separador `,` / Para o formato americano utilize `.`

_EN-US:_

```
MyApp.exe --my-number 10
MyApp.exe --my-number 0.99
```

_PT-BR:_

```
MyApp.exe --my-number 10
MyApp.exe --my-number 0,99
```

**Sintaxe para `Boolean`:**

* Para o valor `TRUE`: Use `true`, `1`, `+` (separado por espaço ou unido com o nome do argumento) ou omita o valor.
* Para o valor `FALSE`: Use `false`, `0`, `-` (separado por espaço ou unido com o nome do argumento).

```
MyApp.exe -a  // true
MyApp.exe -a- // false
MyApp.exe -a+ // true
MyApp.exe -a - // false
MyApp.exe -a + // true
MyApp.exe -a true // true
MyApp.exe -a false // false
MyApp.exe -a 0 // true
MyApp.exe -a 1 // false
```

_Atribuições multiplas:_

Para argumentos que estão configurados com a **forma curta**, é possível definir o mesmo valor em diversos argumentos com apenas um traço `-`, veja:

```csharp
public void Main(char a, char b, char c) {};
```

```
MyApp.exe -abc  // true for a, b and c
MyApp.exe -abc- // false for a, b and c
MyApp.exe -abc+ // true for a, b and c
```

**Sintaxe para `DateTime`:**

O formato de entrada para os tipos `DateTime` depende da cultura que estiver configurado em sua aplicação.

_EN-US:_

```
MyApp.exe --my-date "12/13/2000 00:00:00"
```

_PT-BR:_

```
MyApp.exe --my-date "13/12/2000 00:00:00"
```

_UNIVERSAL:_

```
MyApp.exe --my-date "2000-12-13 00:00:00"
```

**Sintaxe para `Enums`:**

Os valores de entrada podem variar entre o nome do `Enum`, no formato case-sensitive, ou o seu número interno. Para `Enum Flags`, utilize espaços para adicionar ao valor do argumento.

```csharp
[Flags]
public enum Verbose
{
    None = 0,
    All = 1,
    Info = 2,
    Success = 4,
    Critical = 8,
    Warning = 16,
    Error = 32,
    Quiet = 64
}

public void Main(Verbose verbose, string otherParameter = null);
```

```
MyApp.exe --verbose Error Info Success
MyApp.exe --verbose 32 2 Success
MyApp.exe Success EnumNotContainsThisString     // positional
```

No último exemplo, o valor "EnumNotContainsThisString" não pertence ao enum `Verbose`, sendo assim o próximo argumento receberá esse valor caso seu tipo seja compativél.

**Sintaxe para coleções genéricas e arrays**

As listas/arrays tem o mesmo padrão de input, separe com um espaço para adicionar um novo item da lista. Caso seu texto tenha espaço em seu conteúdo, então o adicione entre aspas.

```csharp
public void Main(IEnumerable<decimal> myLst, string[] myArray = null);
```

```
MyApp.exe --my-lst 1.0 1.99
MyApp.exe 1.0 1.99 // positional
MyApp.exe --my-lst 1.0 1.99 --my-array str1 str2
MyApp.exe --my-lst 1.0 1.99 --my-array "string with spaces" "other string" uniqueWord
MyApp.exe 1.0 1.99 str1 str2 // positional
```

No último exemplo, o valor "str1" quebra a sequência de números `1.0 1.99`, sendo assim o próximo argumento receberá esse valor caso seu tipo seja compativél.

**Importante!**

Todos as conversões levam em consideração a cultura configurada na propriedade estática "CultureInfo.CurrentCulture".
