Gavin_1001 hasn't yet supplied information about his ideal match.
Gavin is a great friend - he's funny, fun-loving and is devoted to those he cares about. I've known him for quite a few years now and he's always been there when I've needed him - I've not even had to ask! And I'm one of many friends he has in his life... which I think is a real testament to his character... he's generous with his time and a great bloke to share a laugh and a drink with.
Gav works hard and is very creative - when he's not working he's taking photos or helping friends with their websites. He's a motorbike enthusiast; don't be dissuaded by the 'biker' look - there's a real softie inside! He's had a house in a great part of London for a while now which he's planning to do up but I think he's hoping to develop a home, and for him that includes someone special to share it with.
He's one of those guys that is at his best in a relationship that he can put his energy into and the person he chooses to do this with will gain a great friend, a committed partner and someone who really is up for anything - age hasn't dampened his spirit for adventure so don't think 'boring'!
Gavin_1001 has not yet answered any of the optional questions that would tell you more about him.

The fighting began at 4 pm in the waning afternoon sunlight when 20,000 Confederates attacked a similar number of entrenched Federals. The Carter family, the Lotz family from across the street, and several Carter slaves took refuge in the north room of the basement as the battle raged around their home.
Fountain Branch Carter's son Tod was serving as an aide to Confederate Brig. Gen. Thomas Benton Smith during the Battle of Franklin and was mortally wounded in the fight.

Q: What is the proper way to create a table if it doesn't exists. Flask-SQLAlchemy I want to use my singleton class to load it from database if it doesn't exists. The problem is I didn't find a proper way to do that, but only catching the exceptions.
So, I've searched for some solutions and people always write something like this:
db.session.query(DatasetCounter).filter_by(id=1).first()

There my app throws an operational error because it can't find a 'user' table. Here a quote from log:

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) no such table: dataset_counter

All the other approaches brought me to the same error. So, maybe there is a better way to deal with this situation than catching the exception?
UPD:
The promlem is not about loading existing tables, but about creating new ones.

A: Really, maybe a duplicate of the question in the comment. I've just realized that I was calling db.create_all() after accessing operations. So, database couldn't find a table. Thx for attention.

Teenagers invited to design their own pavilion and run programme of activities
Published: 7:00 AM September 25, 2020 Updated: 2:12 PM October 14, 2020
Here East - Credit: Archant
Youngsters across east London are being given the chance to design, build and host performances in their own pavilion.
The initiative, being run by Beyond the Box Consultants in partnership with Here East and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), will see 14 to 19-year-olds work in groups of two or three to come up with a design for the pavilion,
Known as the People's Pavilion, the temporary structure is set to be built in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park next summer.
The teenagers will also also work to curate their own two-week programme of free events to be held on the site.
Neil Onions, founder of Beyond the Box Consultants, said: "The People's Pavilion will establish a framework for co-design with young people and set the benchmark for genuine youth engagement in the design and development of public space.
"Young people are not just the future users of the city; they are the current users. If we want our built environment to thrive, young people must have a role and a voice in shaping it."
Those living in seven east London boroughs including Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Havering and Tower Hamlets are eligible to get involved.
A weekend workshop will take place in each of the participating boroughs before the design competition closes in March, with sessions teaching skills in areas such as engineering, cultural programming and team building. There will also be a chance to learn about architecture from RIBA chartered members.
The winning team is set to be announced in June 2021, with construction of the pavilion beginning the following month.
Jasel Nandha, community and partnerships manager for Here East, said: "This project is a fantastic opportunity to test a new approach to co-design with local young people, engaging them in placemaking, arts and cultural activities.
"This collaboration will develop skills, build networks, and introduce young people to new careers in the design, built environment, technology and the creative sector."

Q: LINQ/EF: conceptual/mechanics of doing multiple joins that return both an entity and a computed value Im hoping someone can help me with a brain block I'm having about how to do multiple joins with EF that returns an entity, where one of the fields is calculated by a query.  Ive contrived a (pretty much useless) example in the hopes somebody can help me understand how this should be done.
Id like to return a list of ISPs entities from a DBContext with the "TotalUsed" property filled in by the LINQ query.  Ive successfully done the joins (trivial), and have played with grouping and sum, but cant seem to get it quite right.
The general idea to this contrived example is that NICs are connected to one and only one router, and multiple routers are connected to a single ISP each.
How to write a LINQ query that sums the bandwidth needed for each ISP, along with the other properties in that ISP?
Expected output would be a list of ISP that might look like
{{1, "foo", 52}, {2, "bar", 345}, {3, "foobar", 621}}, where the 3rd property is the summation of the BandwidthNeeded property on all NICs transitively related to ISP.
The classes:
public class ISP
{
   public int ISPid {get; set;}
    public int ISPName {get; set;}
    public int TotalUsed {get; set;}  // not mapped to DB -> should populate via LINQ
}

public class Router
{
    public int RouterId {get; set;}
    public string RouterName {get; set;}
    public int ISPId {get; set;} // foreign key for ISP
}

public class Nic
{
    public int NicId { get; set; }
    public string NicLocation { get; set; }
    public int BandwidthUsed { get; set; }
    public int RouterId {get; set; }  // foreign key for router
}

A: If you move the TotalUsed property into a separate type, you could do this (please excuse any typos):
public class ISP // mapped
{
    public int ISPid {get; set;}
    public int ISPName {get; set;}
}
public class ISPWithTotalUsed : ISP // not mapped
{
    public int TotalUsed { get; set; }
}
var query = (from ISP in context.ISPs
             select new ISPWithTotalUsed
             {
                 ISPid = ISP.ISPid,
                 ISPName = ISP.ISPName,
                 TotalUsed = (from router in context.Routers
                              where router.ISPid == ISP.ISPid
                              from nic in context.Nics
                              where nic.RouterId == router.RouterId
                              select nic.BandwidthUsed).Sum()
             });

If you add navigation properties, it could be made somewhat more readable by removing the links on ID.

A: var context = new IspContext();
var groups = context.Nics.Include("Router.Isp").GroupBy(n => n.Router.ISPId).ToList();
var result = groups.Select(g => new()
             {
                 Key = g.Key,
                 Name = g.FirstOrDefault().Router.Isp.IspName,
                 Total = g.Sum(n => n.BandwithUsed)
             });

Does this work for you? The name thing is not pretty and you might get it all into one query. It's hard to tell if it runs faster though.

A: Something like this should work:
var query = context.ISPS.Select(isp => new{ ISP : isp, Used : isp.Routes.Sum(r => r.Nics.Sum(n => n.BandwidthUsed))}).ToList();

var result = query.Select(item => {
   item.ISP.TotalUsed = item.Used;
   return item.ISP;
}).ToList();

I would hoverwer remove the TotalUsed propery from ISP and instead create a wrapper class that holds both an ISP and the TotalUsed. Then you could remove the second query. (EF will not let you contruct an entity inside an entity query).

Q: Proof verification of the convergence question: If $\frac{1}{n}a_n\to0$, then $\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}\to0$. I don't know how to use latex that well, so I'll upload the imagines of the question and the way I tried to prove it. I am unsure if my proof is correct. If it's not correct, then could you explain why it isn't and give me a hint to prove the implication statement.

Question.src) Show that if
$$ \frac{1}{n}a_n \to 0, $$
then
$$ \frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\} \to 0.$$

My attempt.src)
Want to show:
$$ \frac{1}{n}a_n \to 0 \quad\implies\quad \frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\} \to 0. $$
We have $\frac{1}{n}a_n \to 0$ iff
$$ \forall \varepsilon\in\mathbb{R}^+, \ \exists N \in \mathbb{N}, \ \forall n \in \mathbb{N} \ \quad n \geq N \implies \left|\frac{1}{n} a_n\right| < \varepsilon. \tag{*} $$
Note, $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$, $a_n \leq \max\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}$. If $\max\{a_1,\ldots, a_N\} = a_N$, where $N$ is the one that satisfies $\text{(*)}$, then
$$ n \geq N \quad\implies\quad \left|\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}\right| < \varepsilon. $$
However, if $\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_N\} > a_N$, then $\left|\frac{1}{N}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_N\}\right| < \varepsilon $ might not be true. So, if $\exists M \in \mathbb{N}$, $M \geq N$, $\max\{a_1, \ldots, a_M\} = a_M$, then
$$ n \geq M \quad\implies\quad \left|\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}\right| < \varepsilon. $$

A: The first observation you make is on the right track: if the maximum of the sequence is somehow towards the end of the sequence, then the original convergence result already secures the desired conclusion.
Some suggestions for writing your proof:

*

*At the beginning, you are fixing an $\epsilon > 0$ and should make this explicit.

*By definition, there exists an $N = N(\epsilon)$ such that $\frac{|a_n|}{n} < \epsilon$ for all $n \geq N$. Now $N$ (and $\epsilon$) are fixed for the rest of the argument.

*For $n \geq N$, consider $a_I = \max\{ a_1, \dots, a_N, \dots, a_n \}$ (where the index $I = I(n)$ depends on $n$). If $I \in \{ N, N+1, \dots, n \}$, then $\frac{a_I}{n} \leq \frac{a_I}{I} < \epsilon$. This is the good case.

*For the bad case, suppose that $I \in \{ 1, 2, \dots, N - 1 \}$ instead. Now the key observation is that we do not know which index this might be as $n$ varies; however, since $N$ is finite, we can simply bound $a_I$ by the known quantity $M = \max \{ a_1, a_2, a_{N-1} \}$. Thus, in this case we have $\frac{a_I}{n} \leq \frac{M}{n}$ for all $n \geq N$; for sufficiently large $n$, say $n \geq N'$, we have $\frac{M}{n} < \epsilon$ as well.

*Combine the good and bad cases, and take $n \geq \max \{ N, N' \}$ to conclude.

A: Here is a short proof for comparison: For $e>0$ there exists $m_e\in \Bbb N$ such that $$(1)....\quad\forall j\ge m_e\,(|a_j/j|<e)$$ and there exists $n_e\ge m_e$ such that $$(2)....\quad (1/n_e)\max \{|a_j|:j\le m_e\}<e.$$ Now for any $n\ge n_e,$
if $j\le m_e$ then $|a_j|/n\le |a_j|/n_e<e$ by $(2),$
while if $m_e<j\le n$ then $|a_j|/n\le |a_j|/j <e$ by $(1)$.
Therefore for all $n\ge n_e$ we have $$(1/n)|\max \{a_1,...,a_n\}|\le (1/n)\max \{|a_1|,...,|a_n|\}=\max \{|a_1|/n,...,|a_n|/n\}<e.$$

A: Since $a_n/n\to 0$, then $\{a_n/n\}$ is bounded. Say
$|a_n|\le Mn,$ for some $M>0$.
Let $\varepsilon>0$ arbitrary.
Pick $N_1\in\mathbb N$, such that
$$
n\ge N_1\quad\Longrightarrow\quad \left|\frac{a_n}{n}\right|<\varepsilon,
$$
and $N_2\in\mathbb N$, such that $MN_1/N_2<\varepsilon$.
Let $n\ge N=\max\{N_1,N_2\}$, and suppose that $a_k=\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}$.
If $k \ge N_1$, then
$$
\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}=
\left|\frac{a_k}{n}\right|=\left|\frac{a_k}{k}\right|\cdot \frac{k}{n}\le
\left|\frac{a_k}{k}\right|<\varepsilon.
$$
If $k<N_1$, then
$$
\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}=
\left|\frac{a_k}{n}\right|\le \frac{Mk}{n}\le \frac{MN_1}{N_2} <\varepsilon.
$$
Hence, indeed, if $n\ge N$, then
$$
\frac{1}{n}\max\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}<\varepsilon.
$$

A: Since $a_n/n \rightarrow 0$, $a_n=o(n)$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Then for some $k\in\{1,...,n\}$
$$\frac{1}{n} \max \{ a_1, ... , a_n \}=\frac{a_k}{n}=\frac{o(k)}{n} \leq \frac{o(n)}{n}\rightarrow 0$$
as $n\rightarrow \infty$.

More rigorously: If $a_n$ is bounded, there is nothing to show. Otherwise you can define a non-decreasing function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ as in the following: First we define a subset $S=\{n_1=1,n_2,n_3,...\}\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ by the inductive procedure
$$\text{for}\quad m=1,2,3,... \quad \text{do} \quad \min_{k\in\mathbb{N}}(k):a_{n_m+k} \geq a_{n_m} \quad \Rightarrow \quad n_{m+1}=n_m+k\in S \, .$$
We then set $f(n_m)=a_{n_m}$ for all $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $f(n)=a_{n_m}$ between two subsequent points i.e. for $n\in\{n_m,n_m+1,...,n_{m+1}-1\}$. Clearly $a_n \leq f(n),\forall n\in \mathbb{N}$ and furthermore, since $a_n/n \rightarrow 0$, $\forall\epsilon>0, \exists N\in\mathbb{N}:a_n/n < \epsilon, \forall n\geq N$. But then $\forall n_m\geq N$ and $n\in\{n_m,n_m+1,...,n_{m+1}-1\}$ we have $f(n)/n=a_{n_m}/n \leq a_{n_m}/n_m<\epsilon$.
Finally for some $k\in\{1,...,n\}$ and $n\geq n_m \geq N$
$$\frac{1}{n} \max\{a_1,...,a_n\} = \frac{a_k}{n} \leq \frac{f(k)}{n}\leq \frac{f(n)}{n}<\epsilon \, .$$

Syria and the Future of the Chemical Weapon Taboo
Brett Edwards and Mattia Cacciatori, Mar 21 2016, 1160 views
Image by the New York National Guard
For many commentators, international responses to the use of chemical weapons in Syria has reinforced a long standing prohibition norm (Price, 2013). This is despite the fact that much discussed punitive military strikes by the US, France and the UK in response to the Ghouta massacre did not materialise(Irish and Nichols, 2013). The norm is also understood to have withstood the failure of the UN Security Council to agree a process to ascribe responsibility for the Ghouta attacks, as well as the fact that prosecution of many of those involved in past and ongoing chemical weapon atrocities in Syria seems unlikely in the near term. (Edwards and Cacciatori, 2015). Finally, the norm is also understood to have survived, even though the continued use of chemical weapons in the Middle-East in the fall out of the Arab Spring has reaffirmed the utility of chemical agents as tools of control, terror, demoralisation and subterfuge- for states as well as terrorists (Ilchmann and Revill, 2013).
As part of a deal reached by Russia and the United States in September 2013, Syria was compelled to declare and destroy materials relevant to its existing chemical warfare programme. Syria also became party to the Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC), meaning that it is now a member of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and, as such, is subject to a range of inspection and investigation mechanisms. Syria's membership has provided new means for investigation into a spate of chemical weapon attacks since Syria joined the convention, through the establishment of an OPCW Fact Finding Mission, backed up by a UN-OPCW Joint Investigation Mechanism tasked with identifying those responsible. These measures, are of course not perfect, but can be understood for better or for worse, as a UNSC and OPCW success story during a period of humanitarian catastrophe.
Naturally, there has been much discussion of these destruction and investigation processes. This discussion however, is not the focus of this paper. Instead, the Syrian episode is taken a moment to critically reflect on the character and limitations of the chemical weapon prohibition, which is not 'blinded by the light' of existing control mechanisms and associated critique(See for example: Balmer and Rappert, 2016). We identify several ways in which existing discussion distracts from insidious developments which might erode the norm against the use of toxicity as a weapon of war.
First, to emphasise the centrality of states as responsible normative actors who will always guarantee the survival of this norm, risks ignoring the potential allure of chemical weapons to states (including liberal democracies), now and in the future.
It also risks sanitising our histories of use and development of chemical weapons, as well as ignoring those darker roads nearly taken. As Ulf Schmidt notes in his recently published work with reference to often made claims about state restraint in relation to chemical weapon use during the Second World War:
Allied political and military leaders have frequently been credited with both considerable foresight and with strategic and moral leadership for avoiding chemical warfare during the Second World War. Scholars have not, however, fully acknowledged how very close Allied forces came to launching a full-scale chemical onslaught in the European and far eastern theatres of war. Chemical warfare would not only have violated international law and morality as it was understood at the time, but would have changed beyond recognition the image and conduct of modern warfare for generations to come. (Schmidt, 2015, p. 100)
Neglecting the idea that chemical weapons may hold appeal, and not just for pariahs, now and in the future contributes to the degeneration of society's ability to argue against such weapons- in becoming unthinkable, histories become buried and epistemic communities which define themselves against such weapons wither. As has been shown, in relation to the issues of landmines, cluster munitions and autonomous weapon systems, such voices are essential to curtailing the excesses of military doctrine.
Within this article, we expand on this idea with reference to two of the most well-known attempts to conceptualise weapon taboos in the international arena. We argue that, paradoxically, the very same characteristics identified as essential to the maintenance of weapons stigma can also be instrumental in their undoing. In particular, we point to the allure of Incapacitating Chemical Agent's (ICAs) to states, the reasons why such weapons are externalised from dominant institutional discourses, and the dangers that unchecked development in this area poses to the long standing norm against chemical weapons.
Conceptualising taboos
The question of why states choose not to develop or use certain types of weapon on moral grounds, despite the appeal of such weapons, has led to various attempts to capture the essence of what are commonly described as 'weapon taboos'. Such work has led to the development of a clearer understanding of the historical and sociological processes through which such norms are developed and maintained at the international level. Perversely, such conceptualisations also point to the way in which norms are can be quietly undermined in ways which are often ignored.
In his characterisation of the chemical weapon taboo Price argues that the norm against the use of chemical weapons in warfare has so far resisted the '…usual historical pattern of moral restraints eroding over time'(Price, 1997, p. 13). Price argues that the key factors which have contributed to the resilience of this prohibition, led to a situation in which:
…the chemical weapon taboo has increasingly served as its own rationale, in need of no further humanitarian justification. This has not always been the case. The moral obloquy against gas has coalesced around articles of international law prohibiting these weapons, whose persistence has made it increasingly un-acceptable to reopen what was once the controversial debate over the humanitarian effects of CW (Price, 1997, p. 174).
Likewise, Tannenwald's work on nuclear weapon taboos tells us something about the character of weapon stigma. Grounding her understanding of the taboo concept in anthropological and sociological theory, Tannenwald characterises a taboo as involving absoluteness, unthinkingness and taken-for-grantedness; pointing to the idea that taboos are characterised by emotive revulsion rather than considered rejection. (Tannenwald, 2007, pp. 8–17). In this case then, once established, weapon taboos can become tied fundamentally to human aversions to risk, which are an intrinsic characteristic of human identity; seemingly beyond the pale of negotiation.
According to these understandings, proscription actually stops us reflecting on why chemical weapons are prohibited. This is because the justifications for prohibition, are treated with ever decreasing importance; indeed this is essential to the survival of the norm. This then points to the idea that problematic cases, which challenge established categories, and generate the need for fundamental reflections on the scope of the norm might be ignored. Not just by those with something to gain from creeping legitimization, but also by those who want to protect the assumed sanctity and coherence of the norm. For example, it is understandable, why states party to the CWC would chose to distinguish between the issues of acid violence which primarily involves attacks against individuals in peace time, and chemical warfare. (Edwards et al., 2015; Revill and Edwards, 2015). This is despite the fact that acid violence shares many of the same physical properties and effects with classic chemical warfare agents. To deal with this issue in the context of the OPCW, it could be argued, could detract from the core purposes of the convention, and thereby dilute its meaning and specific significance.
However, there is the potential that such problem cases could quietly and fatally undermine the prohibition system while they are ignored, and decisions about them are deferred. In the context of the chemical weapon prohibition the elephant in the room in this regard is so called 'non-lethal' chemical agents, which are prohibited as weapons of war, under the CWC, but which are used for domestic law enforcement.
These agents are general put into two categories. At one end of this spectrum are riot control agents, such as pepper spray and malodrants, which are widely employed by police forced around the world. Such agents present limited risk of long term health damage if used in appropriate manner, but misuse has resulted in serious injuries and fatalities(Crowley, 2015, pp. 50–86). On the other end of the spectrum are ICAs such as those used to break the Moscow Theatre Siege in 2002. In that particular case, the gas killed at least 125 hostages.
In addition to humanitarian concerns about the fundamental inappropriateness of ICA weapons for use as an anti-terrorist tool, it is also apparent that the lines between war, terrorism and insurgency are ambiguous and highly contentious, especially in the context live and amorphous conflicts such as the Syrian war. This suggests the possibility of the type of scenario in which an increasingly permissible international environment around the use of so called incapacitating agents could erode the norm against chemical weapon use as part of state warfare- allowing for states to maintain dubious programmes and stockpiles and normalise the use of an increasing range of chemical agents in conflict (see for example: International Committee of the Red Cross, 2013). Advances in science and technology, in fields such as neuroscience (Dando, 2015), suggest an increasing range of role for such agents in the near in the future; not all of them lethal – but it seems that lethality and the possibility of a new era of human rights abuses will be dragged in the wake of unfettered development in this area.
Events in Syria have emphasized the significance given to chemical weapon issues by the international community, the use of industrial chemicals, such as chlorine, by terrorists has also undoubtedly further stigmatized this category of weapon. However, this alone does not support the claim episode has strengthened the global norm against chemical weapons. In this piece we have highlighted how this is not immediately apparent due to the fact that problem cases tend to be externalized from dominant institutional discourses, often justified in terms of the need to protect the sanctity of the chemical weapon norm, as well as those institution's which embody the norm – especially the OPCW. However, problem cases, such as ICAs, if ignored, could still come to shake to foundations of the chemical weapon and the main international organization which embodies it.

Shigemi Glenn Seno
June 18, 1942 – December 8, 2010
Shig never closed doors because he was truly born in a barn– he was one of the first babies born at the Santa Anita Relocation Center, better known to most as the Santa Anita Racetrack. His earliest memories were happy ones of the tadpoles in the puddles inside the camps. The government later relocated him and his family to Seabrooke Farms, New Jersey, and at war's end they made their way to Chicago.
Shig, then known by his middle name of Glenn, graduated from Hirsch High in 1959, where he was an avid wrestler and football player. After a brief stint at junior college Shig joined the US Navy. For 22 ½ years he served happily and enthusiastically, studying typhoons and volcanoes, and forecasting the weather. He retired from the Navy in Corpus Christi, Texas, as an Aerographer's Mate (PO1/E6) in 1984, and became a bailiff for Judge Blackmon of the 117th District Court. He retired for the second time in December 1999 due to health issues.
Shig lost his long and hard-fought battle with diabetes peacefully and is survived by his wife of 21 years, Jane, his daughter, Ellie, his son, Thomas, and his step-son, Eduardo Medina. He also leaves behind one brother, Wayne, two sisters, Lynne and Carole, a number of nieces and nephews and a loving set of in-laws. He was predeceased by his parents Masami "Sam" and Toshiko Yata Seno, and by his first wife, Nyna Sechler Seno. He will be interred at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. There will be a Memorial Service at 3:00 p.m., Monday, December 27, 2010, at Fellowship of Oso Creek in Corpus Christi, Texas. In lieu of flowers please make donations in Shig's memory to the South Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Services under the direction of Maxwell P. Dunne Funeral Service, Inc.

Bus operator Go-Ahead scales back multiple route policy after spate of resignations
New bus operator's move comes amid driver resignations due to unpopular practice
From an average of two trunk routes per shift, Go-Ahead drivers will now do just one. The bus operator, which has more than 660 bus drivers, was hit by about 20 driver resignations, just over two weeks after starting operations here.ST PHOTO: AZMI ATHNI

New bus operator Go-Ahead is all but doing away with its policy of having drivers undertake more than one route per shift, after a spate of resignations arising from the unpopular practice.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, Go-Ahead spokesman Michelle Yin said that even though bus drivers were told they have to drive multiple routes - which is known as interlining - the firm was scaling back the practice.
"Go-Ahead Singapore has scaled back interlining and adjusted working schedules accordingly," she said.
From an average of two trunk routes per shift, drivers will now do just one.
Industry sources said drivers typically dislike interlining as it can be disorientating and disruptive.
New bus operator Go-Ahead short of drivers
SIM University senior lecturer Park Byung Joon said: "Singapore drivers don't like interlining. They prefer a certain routine to their day."
He said the practice, which is not uncommon, lets operators optimise resources and keep costs down.
LIMITED USE
We were aware that interlining was practised conservatively in Singapore. As a result, we have made only limited use of interlining, and have ensured that the bus captains involved were well trained and prepared for the change.
MR NEIL SMITH, chairman of Tower Transit.
Go-Ahead - the largest bus operator in London - said interlining "is the basis of our operating model in the UK".
The British firm is one of two foreign players that have entered the local bus industry with government bus contracting. Last November, it clinched the right to run 25 routes for $497.7 million - the lowest bid.
Earlier, another newcomer, Anglo-Australian firm Tower Transit, had secured a package of 26 routes for $556 million - the third-lowest bid. Tower Transit said it does not implement interlining as extensively as it does elsewhere.
"We were aware that interlining was practised conservatively in Singapore," said its chairman, Mr Neil Smith. "As a result, we have made only limited use of interlining, and have ensured that the bus captains involved were well trained and prepared for the change."
Mr Smith noted that this practice is common in cities where buses operate at low frequencies - such as Perth and Sydney - and "a bit less common in cities with high frequencies such as in London".
A little over two weeks after starting operations, Go-Ahead, which has more than 660 bus drivers, was hit by about 20 driver resignations.
As a result, it entered "short-term sub-contracting arrangements" with SBS Transit and SMRT Buses for the two to loan it 40 drivers in all.
These represent not only replacements for those who quit but also "additional bus captains required due to the scaling down of interlining", Ms Yin said.
Industry watchers said that with the unforeseen increase in manpower, Go-Ahead's profit margin from the contract might be shaved.
Resignations are not new to the Singapore bus industry. It has been reported that the overall driver attrition rate is as high as 15 per cent, or over 1,000 resignations a year.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said interlining is not new to the local bus industry, but that it has to be "calibrated appropriately".
"Go-Ahead, like any other bus operator, is responsible for managing its operations to meet service requirements specified by LTA."

CHURCH SCHOOL CALENDAR
Grace Youth Programs
CLICK HERE TO register for church school
CLICK HERE FOR CHURCH SCHOOL @ HOME
Grace Church School serves children ages 4 – 14 with classes that last approximately 45 minutes, immediately following the 9:30am family service on Sundays. Children and young people are introduced to our spiritual community through Bible stories, activities and music. Parents and other parishioners volunteer as church school teachers, supported by our Church School Director, Annie Hekker Weiss. Age-appropriate classes are held for each grade level. Children are also invited to take an active role in the 9:30am family liturgy, serving as readers and acolytes.
Middle school children in grades six to eight participate in Junior Youth Group (JYG) which takes places at the same time as church school. JYG focuses on relating Episcopal messages to relevant, age appropriate social issues. JYG also strives to develop a feeling of community through various charity projects and team building activities, some of which take place in addition to the regular Sunday meeting. Some always-anticipated events include Nightwatch, a community interfaith Thanksgiving project, and annual ski and rafting excursions.
Families are invited to try out the church school/JYG at anytime. You can contact the Church School Director Annie Hekker Weiss or just show up at a 9:30am service and head up to church school afterwards.
Anyone in church school must complete a Church School Registration form so that we have appropriate emergency contact information on hand.
Senior Youth Group
The very active senior youth group for high school students meets regularly at 6:30pm on Sunday evenings in the Fenton Room at Grace Church. The group works on team-building activities, focusing on topics related to spiritual growth and community service.
Several senior youth group highlights include a whitewater rafting trip down the Lehigh River, a tour of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, a hike to Buttermilk Falls, and the Grace Church "Haunted House" fundraiser.
Community service projects include distributing meals to the homeless in New York City with the Midnight Run program, hosting dinner for the Helping Hands program for the homeless and the important Church Youth Service Mission Trip, which in past years has included trips to Louisiana, West Virginia, Montana, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.

Confirmation is a sacramental rite that is undertaken as a mature, public commitment to living out our baptismal faith in the world. Therefore, confirmation is entered into only after a period of preparation in which the individual can discern if he or she is ready to claim for him or herself the commitment and responsibilities of being a confirmed member of the Body of Christ, the Church.
The Confirmation program at Grace Episcopal Church is designed to provide candidates with a myriad of opportunities through an engaging curriculum coupled with parish and community involvement (i.e. worship, fellowship, volunteerism, and liturgical service).
Confirmation classes are held at the same as the regular Sunday School classes, 10:15 am -11:00 am, on the first and third Sunday of each month, beginning soon.
Candidates will be required to participate in the life of the Church through service (i.e. acolyte, choir, volunteer ministry-midnight run). Candidates will have a choice as to where they will like serve.
Bread For Life
BREAD FOR LIFE…our version as what is traditionally known as First Holy Communion.
As kids come up to the Eucharist we want them to understand what they are participating in, what the language means, what the manual acts are and what the communal event they take part in each Sunday.
We want them to participate and appreciate the Eucharistic meal as well as understand the faith and the body of Christ.

Free Books / Cooking / Guide For Nut Cookery /
This section is from the book "Guide For Nut Cookery", by Almeda Lambert. Also available from Amazon: Guide to nut cookery.
The name of this nut is supposed to be derived from the word amysso, meaning to lacerate, on account of the prominent, sharp, knife-like margin of one edge of the nut. The English name is from the Latin amandola and from the Greek amaygdale. The almond tree is a tropical evergreen, and was originally a native of Barbary and Morocco, but is now widely cultivated throughout the warmer temperate zones of the Old World, and also in California and in the southern United States.
Botanically it belongs to the Rose family, Rosacea. In most of our modern botanical works, it is classed as a subsection of Prunus, the plum. The plum, peach, and almond are generally considered to be only varieties of one species. Our cultivated peaches and nectarines are undoubtedly descendants of the wild almond tree. However, they differ greatly in the size and color of the blossoms as well as the shape and size of the leaf. The almond blossoms are usually somewhat larger than the blossoms of the peach, and of a pale rose color, appearing in early spring before or with the unfolding leaves. The leaves are three or four inches long, tapering and finely serrate. The fruit of the almond, like the peach, is covered with a soft, velvety down; but the pulpy envelope becomes dry and fibrous at maturity, cracking open and allowing the rough, deeply pitted, and wrinkled nut to drop out, while in the peach, the pulpy envelope becomes soft, juicy, and edible. The plum is only a peach with a smooth skin.
"As with most of the long-cultivated fruit and nut trees, very little is known of the early history or origin of the almond, and even its native country has not been positively determined, although it is supposed to be indigenous to northern Africa, and the mountainous regions of Asia. Theo-phrastus, who wrote the history of plants three centuries before the Christian era, mentions the almond as the only tree in Greece that produces blossoms before the leaves."
The almond thrives throughout the Mediterranean countries both in Europe and Africa, and has long been extensively cultivated. It forms an important article of commerce, immense quantities being exported from Spain, mostly from Valencia, while the so-called Jordan almond comes from Malaga, as very few are raised in the valley of the Jordan.
The almond ranks high in nutritive value, and is highly esteemed for culinary purposes, being employed in the preparation of numerous dainty and appetizing dishes for the table. In the countries where the almond is grown, it is considered a dainty dish to serve in the half-open green husks; in this state, the kernels are just passing from the milky stage, and are more easily digested than they are when fully ripe. But those found in the markets are fully matured, and have been thoroughly dried before shipping; most of them are already shelled, as labor is much cheaper in those countries where they grow, and the shipping expense to this country is less.
The sweet almond contains fifty-three per cent, of fats, twenty-three and five-tenths per cent, of albuminous elements, seven and eight-tenths per cent, of starch, and three per cent. of salts, making a total nutritive value of eighty-seven and three-tenths per cent.
The rough brown skin which covers the kernel of the almond is bitter, and somewhat irritating to the stomach. This should be removed by blanching.
1. Languedoc; 1a. Languedoc Kernel; 2. Languedoc with Double Kernel; 3. Ne Plus Ultra; 3a. Ne Plus Ultra Kernel; 4. IXL; 4a. IXL Kernel; 5. La Prima; 5a. La Prima Kernel; 6. Nonpareil; 6a. Nonpareil Kernel; 7. Golden State; 7a. Golden State Kernel; 8. Bitter; 8a. Bitter Kernel; 9. Jordan; 9a. Jordan Kernel.
When formed into an emulsion, they are considered an excellent medicine for persons suffering with diabetes and pulmonary disorders. Almond oil is a standard article in the stock of druggists, entering into the composition of various kinds of powders, paste, syrups, and cosmetics. But the most important use is to take the place of dairy milk and butter.
Almonds are usually divided into three groups; the soft, or paper-shelled, the hard-shelled, and the bitter. There are many varieties of each group, although they are generally called by the name of the group to which they belong.
Soft, or Paper-shelled Almonds.- In this group there are many varieties, the most common being the widely known sweet-kerneled, thin-shelled nut. It is one of the oldest in cultivation in European countries. The blossoms are pale rose in color and very large.
Hard-shelled Almonds.- - This variety differs from the preceding only in the hardness of its shell and its hardiness to endure the cold. It can be grown where the peach can, and is very productive. Its shell is quite firm and smooth, but deeply pitted. The kernels are fully as large as the paper-shelled, and equally valuable for food.
Most of the names of the different varieties are the names of the country or city from which they were exported. The Sicily almond from Sicily, Valencia almond from Valencia, while the Jordan almond comes from Malaga, a very few being raised in the valley of the Jordan.
Bitter Almonds.- As regards the shell, this class is not distinct from the other two, as some have soft and some have hard shells; but the kernels are very bitter, and contain a poisonous acid, known as hydrocyanic, or Prussic, acid. Although it is often used as flavoring in confectionery and cake, it is unsafe to do so.
The kernel of the sweet almond varieties does not contain this poison, but it is found in their leaves and bark.

Why You Should See "Real Steel" this Weekend – Review – No Spoilers
We've been sharing clips of the movie "Real Steel" along with photos from Comic-Con and other red carpet events (more below) with you, our readers not because we are pretty excited about this movie.
First, personally speaking, I've never been disappointed by any movie that Hugh Jackman is in. But, when you start seeing the clips coming out and like the story, you start getting excited about going to the movies and knowing that you won't be disappointed. With that said, we've done a double duty here with coverage of the movie – now in theatres today and a review from one of our staff, who maybe isn't the "target" audience… not a mother, father or single woman swooning over Hugh Jackman. The following review is from a twenty-something male who is a gamer, producer, and has been in front of the screen and behind it (yeah, card carrying SAG member), who has a love for all things movies (and TV) and is someone that I've been collaborating with for as long as he's been able to share "what's your favorite part" of this movie with me.
"First let me say that Shawn Levy is no Michael Bay, where as Bay would have taken a script for a 'Robot Boxing Movie' for what is is at face value. The rainy day favorite of my youth 'Rock'em Sock'em Robots' with Sylvester Stallone's "Over The Top" – You remember, the one where Sly is a truck driver and makes cash on the side being the greatest arm wrestler this side of the Mississppi, then gets a telegram saying some woman he knocked up died, and he's got to come get the kid he abandoned to keep his truck driving life style, while the kid's mother's family desperately wants to raise the kid, and the dad is enough of a dirtbag to sell his child to the other side of the family? well, it's that. even for the same amount of money, $100k. 'Over The Top' came out in 1987, when $100k was A LOT of money. Real Steel takes place in 202X, where $100k is still apparently a crap load of cash, i guess the economy never really recovers. Which, once you get past the rehashed story, that's where the beauty of the movie is. the little details of what tomorrow may bring. Which, looks a lot like today, aside from some teasing angles of a Cadillac Sixteen (google that, you'll thank me), a Nokia future phone, HP acrylic & LED displays, and Virgin & Bing having their own stadiums in Detroit and New York, respectively. None of that seemed that far out of place (except the Cadillac Sixteen) all that is pretty much tomorrow tech- there were no flying cars, teleportation, or iPhone brain implants- all the technology was reasonably accessible*. Except, shall i not forget the eight to eleven foot tall ambulatory fighting robots.
In my screening, Danny Elfman's score had most of the audience in his hand, cheering and gasping as if he were in the room conducting them. They were involved. The movie was, to them, much more than Hugh Jackman eating Thomas Jane's lunch (Tom wasn't in the movie, but you say 'i want my kids back' i see Tom Jane). It was more than a hokey advertisement for a crappy childhood game that was impossible to put away. It had the fervor of a Holyfield match with BattleBots. The explanation of why Robot Boxing was cool was a throw away line from Hugh, but the understated stuff is what made the movie work for me. When really, there was nothing new brought to the table. Other than the lack of kitsch.
Rating: Better than expected (reblogged)
Hugh Jackman REAL STEEL Los Angeles Premiere
Steven Spielberg and Sugar Ray Leonard at Screening of Real Steel
Here are some interesting behind the scenes facts about the movie that you can share with your friends to show you are really in the know:
Sugar Ray Leonard was the film's boxing consultant and trained Hugh Jackman for his appearance in the ring
Costume designer Marlene Stewart created a retro wardrobe for Hugh Jackman's character Charlie inspired by looks the rugged Americana looks from the 1960s
Dreamworks used motion-capture technology and practical-built, full-scale robots to film the robot boxing scenes. The motion-capture elements were performed and shot on a stage in Los Angeles ahead of time and the fighters were put in the ring wearing data-capturing jumpsuits and then their motions were converted into robot avatars on the computer and then instantaneously appeared on the monitors on set. Then, later during principal photography, the filmmakers lined up their cameras on an empty ring and the motion-capture data streamed through their cameras, allowing them to watch and frame the robot fighting in the ring in real time
Each of the robots each have a distinctive look, personality and color scheme and range in size from 7'6" to 8'5" in height

The Judaean Poor and the Fourth Gospel
Part of Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series
Author: Timothy J. M. Ling
Date Published: August 2006
Judaean society in the first century did not conform to the stereotypical 'Mediterranean honour culture', in that it lacked a significant gentile population and was dominated by a powerful religious elite. Timothy Ling argues that this demands a new social-scientific approach to the Gospel and Letters of John that moves away from the accepted 'sectarian' interpretation. He attributes their distinctiveness instead to their roots in Jesus' Judaean ministry, as contrasted with the Galilean ministry that has attracted much recent study. In particular, Ling contends that the numerous references to 'the poor' in the New Testament can be better understood in the context of the 'alternative' ideologies found among pietistic religious groups practising asceticism, renunciation, and other forms of 'virtuoso religion' in first-century Judaea. In doing so, he mounts a convincing challenge to the current dominant reading of the Gospel of John as a product of early Christian sectarianism.

Many people probably fancy themselves as a bit of a professional gambler or that they would be capable of becoming one, due to their exploits on betting sites or at casinos. It really does look like a dream kind of lifestyle, with many expecting professional gamblers to be wealthy people who enjoy all the good things in life.
The question is though, is it really everything it's cracked up to be; and how does one go about actually becoming a professional gambler?
First of all, a person wishing to become a professional gambler must have knowledge, commitment and discipline. You can't just wake up one day and suddenly become a professional gambler.
One needs to have a good understanding of the sport and the players involved; knowledge is key and the more information the better. There has to be a commitment to learn more, in order to improve knowledge of things such as form, odds, reports, rumours and even the weather; to gain whatever advantage possible.
A professional gambler must put the hours in, as well as having the discipline to be able to consistently work on your own and have faith in decisions made.
To become a professional gambler people need to leave emotions behind. There will be highs due to the wins and lows due to the losses, so it's important to be able to not become affected either way. It's essential that there's always a good level of composure involved, so that decisions can be made clearly and accurately throughout without emotions playing any part.
The perfect example of this is seen on renowned football betting sites like Unibet, where the supporter of any particular club would rarely, if ever, bet against their team; no matter how slim the chances were of them winning.
The key part of being a professional gambler is of course money. First of all, there needs to be a budget and it must be enough to really get things started. Then bankroll management comes into play, and this really can make or break a career as a gambler. A person must understand cash flow, know when to place bets, as well being able to calculate risks.
If somebody doesn't for example know what they can afford to lose they'll quickly run into trouble; therefore, it is always prudent to have strict limits on how much one can afford to lose and even place a cap on winnings.
Anyone setting out in a new career or job will have goals and targets they hope to reach, together with expectations for the future; and being a pro gambler is no different. As with everything else, targets must always be realistic. If for example, somebody takes up betting on the football as their profession, aiming for huge wins over and over again will see them come unstuck pretty fast.
It's a better idea to set realistic targets at the start, learn from experience and fine tune the process in which betting markets and selections are chosen.
Finally, as with any career choice, a person must carefully consider all the pros and cons before committing to it. Being a professional gambler is financially rewarding at times, but there's a lot of hard work, dedication, discipline and self belief which is also required.
With this mind, the role is not that different to any other successful career. And like everything else in life, success always requires a bit of luck!

This study investigated the effects of cocoa flavanol (CF) on markers of cardiovascular health in low risk, healthy, middle-aged individuals without history signs or symptoms of Cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The main focus was a 1-month double-masked, randomised, controlled trial in 100 participants without history, signs or symptoms indicative of CVD, including previous myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and peripheral artery disease or current or previous medication, and a BMI of 23–27 kg/m2. They were randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups (1:1 ratio of intervention and controls): either the CF intervention group (FLAVANOL; 450 mg of total flavanols twice daily) or the CF-free intervention group (CONTROL; 0 mg of total flavanols twice daily).
To evaluate the primary preventive potential of flavanols, the study calculated changes in components of the Framingham Risk Score using the age, the total and HDL-cholesterol and office SBP values.
Flavanol led to significant decreases in the estimated 10-year risk to be diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD) (percent decrease relative to baseline: 21 % (95 % CI 8, 33 %)) or CVD (percent decrease: 22 % (95 % CI 8, 36 %)) or experience MI (percent decrease: 31 % (95 % CI 9, 51 %)). The decrease in stroke risk was not statistically significant. The predicted 10-year risk to die from CHD or CVD was lowered (percent decrease: 37 % (95 % CI 17, 56 %) and 30 % (95 % CI 10, 49 %)) by flavanol over control.

Q: How to Partition Your internal harddrive in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I am a newbie in ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I want to partition my hard drive of 320GB so that i can divide it into 2 or more partitons. How to proceed? can anybody help?
Already installed gparted but i am not able to unmount my /dev/sda1 nor am i able to create a new partion table.
when i select unmount /dev/sda1 the message is: Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually.
when i select create partion table the msg is: 2 partitions are currently active on device /dev/sda.
![This is my Hard drive properties in gpart][1]

A: GParted is ok, but you must boot your system from a live system. You can take the usb drive/ dvd you installed Ubuntu from.

A: This is the lesson How To Partition and this is about partitions that are required to run Ubuntu and optional Disk Space. It's also the best to partition during clean installation.

A: Trying to unmount the partition that you booted from is like trying to change a tire while you are driving the car.
To live boot you must have a Live DVD/USB. If you don't have that first download the iso image file from The Ubuntu web page.
Now you will need to different follow instructions depending on if you want to create a Live DVD or a Live USB.
For DVD follow the instructions on the official Ubuntu page.
For USB follow the instructions on the official Ubuntu page.

*

*Once the DVD/USB is ready you have to boot from that. How you do it
depends on your computer and varies from model to model.

*Reboot your computer. When the first image shows press the
Esc or F12 or Delete key to boot
from the DVD or USB.

*Then choose "Try Ubuntu without installing" and Ubuntu will boot
from DVD/USB.

*Then proceed with Gparted.

Hope this helps

Knowledge sharing strategies in university libraries of Malawi.
Chipeta_George_Theodore_2018.pdf (3.419Mb)
Chipeta, George Theodore.
This study was carried out to examine the strategies of knowledge sharing in University libraries of Malawi. Four public universities were studied namely: University of Malawi (UNIMA), Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Mzuzu University (MZUNI), and Malawi University of Science and technology (MUST). The study addressed the following research questions: (1) What types of knowledge is generated or acquired by university libraries in Malawi? (2) What is the rationale for knowledge creation and sharing by university libraries in Malawi? (3) What mechanisms and infrastructure are used for knowledge sharing in university libraries in Malawi? (4) What are the factors influencing knowledge sharing in university libraries in Malawi? (5) What is the attitude of librarians towards knowledge sharing in university libraries in Malawi? in addition (6) What framework is needed for effective knowledge sharing in university libraries in Malawi? The Social Capital Theory (SCT) (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998) complemented by Ajzen and Fishbein's (2000) theory of reasoned action (TRA), and Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) knowledge conversion theory underpinned the study. Pragmatism ontology which supports mixed methods epistemology was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. A survey within case study research designs and self-administered questionnaires were used. Interviews, observations and document review were used to validate the results from the survey questionnaire. The target population of the study consisted of all library staff (professional and paraprofessional) with a qualification in Library and Information Science (LIS), working in public universities. A census of the entire university library staff population was reached for study. Reliability and validity of instruments were achieved using triangulation, factor analysis; adapting research instruments from previous related studies which surpassed the minimum threshold of 0.70 for Cronbach alpha values; and a reliability test using Cronbach's alpha (a coefficient of reliability or consistency) which was used to determine how well a set of items measures a single unidimensional latent construct. Quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 to generate descriptive and inferential statistics; while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The study revealed that knowledge generation and acquisition of tacit and explicit type was common in the university libraries. Knowledge generation was due to endless research reports, procedure manual handbooks, circulation statistics, policy documents, curriculum documents, rules and regulations, bibliographies and indexes, workshops and conference proceedings and their reports, emails and memos, and the codification of the same in the case of explicit knowledge. Tacit knowledge generation on the other hand, was through staff socialisation, formal and informal interactions such as during tea breaks, and regular staff meetings. The study also found out that the rationale for knowledge generation and acquisition by staff was for their capacity to improve the delivery of library services and innovations. It was also established that staff were happy to share their knowledge with others outside the organisation through paper presentations at conferences and documents. The results indicated that library staff were intrinsically motivated to share their knowledge, suggesting that they were not motivated by organisational rewards for knowledge sharing. However, the said knowledge was not codified. The study recommended that university libraries management should put in place a policy aimed at documenting, codifying and storing in databases tacit and explicit knowledge generated and acquired by staff in university libraries. The study concluded that staff did not use mentoring, improved documentation of existing knowledge, storytelling and Communities of Practice for knowledge sharing. The findings of the study also revealed a presence of Information and Communication Technology infrastructure tools like computers connected to the internet, and fixed phones that were mainly used for internal communication. Despite the presence of such Information and Communication Technology infrastructure, institutions depended on face-to-face communication to enhance social ties and collaboration between and among the workers. The study recommended that top library managers put in place a formal mechanism and Information and Communication Technology infrastructure solely for knowledge sharing. The study found out that there was lack of trust among staff, inflexible structures, budget constraints and lack of policy framework for knowledge management. The findings revealed that lack of knowledge management policies resulted in provision of inadequate budgets for organising knowledge sharing forums. This affected rewarding of staff to motivate them to share knowledge between and among themselves. The study recommended that university libraries management should establish decentralised or horizontal organisational structures and empower co-workers to freely share personal knowledge and concerns, which in turn would enhance trust and openness in organisations thereby promoting active knowledge sharing among employees. The study also recommended an overall Knowledge Management policy that would lead to university management allocating resources for Knowledge management activities. The researcher further recommends a broader study be conducted of all university staff to determine the strategies, practices and challenges of knowledge sharing in universities. The study also recommends a comprehensive study of all private universities as well as public and private organisations, to investigate their knowledge sharing strategies, practices and to compare the findings.

First probable case of vaping-related illness found in BC
The province has confirmed the first probable case of a vaping-related illness in B.C.
Several other investigations are underway that may also meet the case definition of probable or confirmed vaping-related illness in the near future, said Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer.
"These are the first cases of vaping-related illness in B.C., but we fully expect there will be more as this is quickly emerging as a significant public health issue," Henry said.
"Vaping is turning back the clock on decades of effective anti-smoking efforts and creating a new generation of young people addicted to nicotine."
On Sept. 19, 2019, Henry issued a notice that requires physicians to report incidences of patients exhibiting symptoms that meet the definition.
This includes patients who report vaping using e-cigarette devices, related products or other means of inhaling a variety of products in the 90 days before symptom onset, those who pulmonary infiltrates on X-ray imaging, and those whose illnesses are not attributed to other causes.
All reports about vaping-related illness will be forwarded to the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and investigated by public health officials.
Only instances that are probable or confirmed will be reported to the public and media. Age, sex and location (including community, town or health authority jurisdiction) will remain confidential in every instance as these cases are being reported at a provincial level, the government said.

Kaj Ahlburg moved and Matthew Rainwater seconded acceptance of minutes for October 17, 2017. Motion carried.
Captain Joseph House has a fundraiser on October 29, 2017.
Membership certificates were handed out to Kaj, Beth at Focal Pt Beauty, Jack G, Dan Gase, Matthew Rainwater, and Dave Miller
The EDC is holding a forum discussing 3 of the ballot measures; William Shore Pool (no organized opposition), Juvenile Justice Tax and Second Class City. Debbie also announced that the Lefties have secured the West Coast League All Star Game for 2018.
Kaj & John B visited Craig Fulmer at the city regarding the $700K designated for road work and the city's plan/schedule. City match affects what is done first which will be Peabody. Railroad/alleys are not high on the list. In May the City Council can amend which projects are scheduled first. If they can change Railroad to an "arterial" road then maybe that will help make sure it's done sooner. Mark Abshire said the Chamber will also send a letter of support to the city and that Railroad is a different type of road to pave. George asked if the proposed new hotel will affect Railroad but the Tribe hasn't closed on the property yet.
George B updated that Camp David Rd. is one of the best ways to access the Trail & now is the time to see all the colors.
Steve Burke spoke about the William Shore Pool District Levy. Visitors increased from 59K last year to 100K. After school programs support 40+ kids, busy since Busy Bee closed.
In a mailed survey, over 1,000 people responded that they liked the plan to renovate. Of the $12 million project, $3 million is from state grants, $5.5 million is from the existing levy and the shortfall is $3.5 million – the reason for this current levy is because there is a debt limitation. Back when the Pool District was formed they were allowed .79 but never accessed that – the current levy is .18
It's a 55 year old pool. They plan to add a kid's splash pool, a therapeutic warm pool, and new locker rooms/entrance which would equate to about $12-$13 per $200K household. Increased revenue could lower the cost from afterschool programs.
The Port Angeles School District can vote.
Kaj asked about projected operating costs after expansion; electric, labor, etc. and Steve said that it would be approximately $50-75K/yr additional. It is a 30 year bond that is generally financed over the life of the facility. Labor will not increase that much. The bond will be paid off and it can be issued whenever they need it and the goal is to pay it off in half the time.
Fall 2019 they will start the entrance & locker rooms and the pool will stay open. February 2020 they will close until August to finish the work. The school contributes $18-20K/yr with some money coming from PTA. Pricing is set each year. They lost about 5% of clients back to Sequim once the YMCA opened which is good because the pool was too crowded. Many stayed because of the benefits of the saltwater pool. The YMCA is exploring expanding already. They employ about 35-40 lifeguards and approx 98% of them it's their first job.
It doesn't pay to install solar because the rates aren't so good here for them.
They have a business agreement with hotels for guests to use the facility on a per room basis and the Coast Guard uses it about 3x/wk for rescue/safety training for $600/month. The rehab/health benefits are crucial along with relationships developed between young and old.
Locker rooms: now there is only 1 'family' locker room, that will be increased. They need to follow WA State law – gender locker rooms will be smaller.
Upcoming Meeting:
Nov. 7: Business Meeting (Bylaw Changes)
Nov 14: Clallam County Prosecutor, Mark Nichols
Nov 21: Don Corson, Founder of Camaraderie Cellars

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say one woman is dead in a rowhouse fire in New Jersey. Jersey City police and fire department spokesman Bob McHugh says the blaze broke out in the home's basement at around 10 p.m. Thursday. Three others in the single-family home were able to escape the flames. McHugh says the 32-year-old woman was found by firefighters on the top floor of the two-story home.
Officials believe the fire was electrical and appears to have started in a cluttered area of the basement. Investigators are on the scene. The only other injury was a firefighter who twisted his ankle fighting the flames.
