Fränk René Schleck (* 15. April 1980 in Luxemburg) ist ein ehemaliger luxemburgischer Straßenradsportler, der während seiner aktiven Zeit unter anderem das Amstel Gold Race 2006 und die Tour de Suisse 2010 gewann und bei der Tour de France 2011 Rang drei belegte.

Karriere

Fränk Schleck, dessen Vater Johny ebenfalls Radprofi war, erhielt im Jahr 2003 einen Vertrag im Team CSC-Saxo Bank von Bjarne Riis, wo er bis zum Ablauf der Saison 2010 blieb, bevor er die Mannschaft zusammen mit seinem Bruder Andy verließ und sich Leopard Trek anschloss.

Seinen ersten international bedeutenden Erfolg erreichte er mit dem Sieg beim Amstel Gold Race 2006, nachdem er am Zielhang aus einer Spitzengruppe attackierte. Im gleichen Jahr konnte er die 15. Etappe der Tour de France von Gap nach L'Alpe d'Huez gewinnen. Er war Teil einer größeren Ausreißergruppe und distanzierte drei Kilometer vor der Bergankunft seinen letzten Begleiter Damiano Cunego.

Am 27. April 2008 wurde Schleck beim Klassiker Lüttich–Bastogne–Lüttich im Finale nur von Alejandro Valverde und Davide Rebellin geschlagen. Einen Platz hinter ihm belegte sein jüngerer Bruder Andy Platz vier. Bei der darauffolgenden Tour de France 2008 trug er vier Tage das Gelbe Trikot des Gesamtführenden, bevor er nach einem Angriff seines Teamkollegen und späteren Gesamtsiegers Carlos Sastre die Führung an diesen verlor. Er beendete diese Rundfahrt als Sechster der Gesamtwertung.

Fränk Schleck gewann die bergige 17. Etappe der Tour de France 2009 vor Alberto Contador sowie seinem Bruder Andy Schleck und wurde am Ende Fünfter der Gesamtwertung. Außerdem siegte der Ältere der Schleck-Brüder bei der achten Etappe der Kalifornien-Rundfahrt, wurde Zweiter bei Paris–Nizza und gewann neben der dritten Etappe auch die Gesamtwertung der Luxemburg-Rundfahrt.

2010 konnte er die zweite Etappe der Luxemburg-Rundfahrt für sich entscheiden und belegte den zweiten Platz in der Gesamtwertung. Bei der anschließenden Tour de Suisse entschied der Luxemburger die dritte Etappe für sich und übernahm nach einem dreizehnten Platz beim Einzelzeitfahren in der neunten und letzten Etappe auch die Gesamtwertung dieser Rundfahrt. Bei einem schweren Sturz auf der dritten Etappe der Tour de France 2010 zog er sich im Schulterbereich mit einem dreifachen Bruch des Schulterblatts und einem komplizierten Bruch des Schlüsselbeins so schwere Verletzungen zu, dass er das Rennen aufgeben musste.

Nachdem Schleck im Frühjahr 2011 die Gesamtwertung des Critérium International für sich entschied, belegte er bei der anschließenden Tour de France 2011 belegte Schleck Rang drei mit 2:30 Minuten auf den Sieger Cadel Evans und seinem Bruder und Teamkollegen Andy, der mit 1:34 Minuten Rückstand Zweiter wurde.

Schleck wurde nach der 13. Etappe der Tour de France 2012 positiv auf das Diuretikum Xipamid getestet. Das teilte der Radsportweltverband UCI am Abend des 17. Juli mit. Diuretika werden häufig dazu verwendet, die Einnahme von Dopingmitteln zu verschleiern. Sein Team zog ihn am selben Tag von der Tour zurück. Am 20. Juli 2012 wurde das Ergebnis nach der Analyse der B-Probe bestätigt. Im Januar 2013 wurde Fränk Schleck rückwirkend vom 14. Juli 2012 an für ein Jahr gesperrt. Damit konnte er nicht an der Tour de France 2013 teilnehmen. Am 4. Juli 2013 gab Schlecks Team RadioShack bekannt, dass es ihn auch nach Ablauf der Sperre nicht mehr einsetzen und den Vertrag mit ihm beenden werde. Möglich mache dies eine Klausel in Schlecks Vertrag, wonach im Falle eines positiven Dopingbefundes eine Kündigung möglich wäre.

Nach Ablauf seiner Sperre wurde Schleck 2014 zum fünften Mal nach  2005, 2008, 2010 und 2011 luxemburgischer Straßenmeister und schloss die Tour de France 2014 auf dem 12. Platz in der Gesamtwertung ab.

Bei der Tour de France 2015 konnte er aufgrund der Spätfolgen eines Sturzes beim Klassiker Lüttich-Bastogne-Lüttich nicht an den Start gehen. Auf der Bergankunft der 16. Etappe der Vuelta a España 2015 gewann er nach über vier Jahren sein erstes internationales Radrennen nach seiner Sperre und zugleich seinen letzten internationalen Wettbewerb seiner Karriere.

Ende der Saison 2016 beendete Fränk Schleck seine Radsportlaufbahn.

Kontakt zu Eufemiano Fuentes
Die Süddeutsche Zeitung behauptete in ihrer Ausgabe vom 27. September 2008, dass Schleck als Kunde des Arztes Eufemiano Fuentes, nach dem der Dopingskandal Fuentes benannt ist, enttarnt sei. Bewiesen sei dies durch eine Überweisung an Fuentes aus dem März 2006. Auf Anfrage der Zeitung sagte Schleck, dass er nicht gedopt habe. Das überwiesene Geld sei für ein Trainingsprogramm bestimmt gewesen. Schleck selbst gab zu, Kontakt zu Fuentes gehabt zu haben, dass er diese jedoch sofort abgebrochen habe, als er von dessen Verbindungen zum Doping gehört habe. Aufgrund der Vorwürfe ermittelte die luxemburgische Anti-Doping-Agentur ALAD gegen Schleck, stellte das Verfahren aber ein, da es weder Beweise für versuchtes Doping noch durchgeführtes Doping gebe.

Am 15. Dezember 2006 wurde Fränk Schleck vor David Fiegen, dem Silbermedaillengewinner der 800 Meter bei den Leichtathletik-Europameisterschaften 2006, als bester männlicher Sportler 2006 in Luxemburg ausgezeichnet.

Join the BB Baking Club and get the monthly newsletter straight to your inbox!
Another month, another round of totally awesome cakes to be in awe of from my lovely baking pals. Did you know I run a baking club? Yup, I know, it's basically the best type of club to be in – one that involves making new friends over a shared love of cake. If you like a bit of the ol' sweet stuff, then be sure to pop your email into the box at the top of the post and join our friendly Facebook group. I promise all abilities are welcome (we all share our fails just as much as our wins) and you can dip in and out whenever you feel like – it's a club with no pressure and no commitments, hurrah!
Anyway in November we tackled celebration cakes – a theme coined due to November now being packed full of celebrations for me, with both my wedding anniversary and husbands birthday in the space of a week. Turns out it's a celebratory month for lots of us though, and I was super surprised at just how many of the group seemed to have a birthday, baby shower, leaving do or such like to bake for!
In the spirit of being a good wife over being a good blogger, I didn't blog my cake this month and opted to let the birthday boy (and his family) dig right in once I'd (made a pretty messy job of to be honest) put the last dollop of icing on and decorated the entire kitchen in sprinkles. Tastes better fresh right? Rather than after an hour of photo-taking has commenced. But I've included a couple of cheeky iPhone pics into the mix below and the rough recipe I followed – I've been angling to make a pinata cake for SO long, so much so that I didn't even consult GB on what kind of cake he might like for his birthday and had it all decided by the start of the month.
There's some mighty amazing cakes to ogle this month though, so let's get on with it and CEL-E-BRATE GOOD TIMES!
Well we had a big 30th birthday in the club this month, and Natalie made her own birthday cake just to ensure it was one she would LOVE. And if you're going to make your own birthday cake – well this is the one you want to make, how amazing is this?? It's a vanilla sponge decorated with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache, plus some rather epic chocolate bark as decoration. Get the lowdown on making your own chocolate ganache icing on the BBC Good Food website.
This was my attempt at two cake trends – the surprise pinata cake and the confetti covered layer cake. I opted for 4 layers of sponge with jam and buttercream icing in the layers (my attempt to make the sponge spotted with confetti too failed – apparently Uk sprinkles don't have enough E numbers in to keep the colour during the bake – you learn something new every day right?). I attempted to cover the whole thing in butter icing (although I needed A LOT and it was a thinner layer than I would have liked in the end) and then had lots of fun (and made a huge mess) chucking sprinkles at the side and wondering why more went on the floor than on the cake! The surprise smartie centre was a hit and much easier than I thought – simply cut out a circle in the middle two layers of cake and fill with sweets before placing on the top layer – and overall the cake went down a treat! You can't really go wrong with a good sponge and icing right? I followed this Betty Crocker recipe for the steps, although made my own sponge and icing.
Talking of a good sponge, would you just look at the beauty of this one? A classic Victoria Sponge never fails to please, and like Cat I think the more jam and cream the better. I really must work on getting my sponge cakes to look as even as this! Find the ultimate Victoria Sponge cake recipe from Mary Berry.
If you're going to do a layer cake, why not make it a layer cake dripping in butterscotch sauce? One of our most creative baking club members, Chloe, didn't even have a reason to celebrate but treated her husband to this Butterscotch and Bourbon layer cake all the same (lucky guy!). It's from the book Layered by Style Sweet CA (new favourite cake website alert!) and looks all kinds of epic!
Everyone loves a rainbow cake, but they seem all kinds of fiddly to create. Linda braved the bake this month with a four layer multi coloured rainbow cake topped with buttercream icing. To give it a bash follow this rainbow cake recipe on BBC Good Food.
Points for being a super cool mum have to go to Laura this month, who made this awesome cake for her son's 4th birthday. Let's take a wild guess and say we have a Batman fan here? But seriously – the decoration on this is nothing short of brilliant! We hope you took plenty of photos Laura so that when Max is a teenager you can bribe him with how great a parent you've been! Want to attempt something similar? You can download free printables along with this recipe on Domestic Fits.
Chocolate cake is always my favourite for my birthday, but how about a Lindt chocolate cake? Even more indulgent right? Diana made this epic creation featuring a double layer chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream icing and topped off with Lindt chocolate balls to finish. Find the full recipe on the Lindt website.
A very special cake from Sophie (at A Lady Bakes Blog) for her Sister in law's baby shower! It's a three layer coconut sponge cake filled with coconut cream icing and jam and decorated with sprinkles aplenty. You can find the recipe for the coconut sponge on Sophie's blog, and the even better news is that she's now a proud Auntie to a little boy! Aww!
I am just SO in love with the prettiness of this cake I can't even tell you. It's the creation of Jennie (from Scarlet Scorchdroppers), one of our total pros in the baking club and I've basically assigned her to making my birthday cake every year from now on (even though she lives in Hong Kong – small details). This is actually a three layer carrot cake which was made for a work friends birthday, and I'm guessing the birthday gal might just love pink. Find more adorable recipes like this on Jennie's blog.
Finally, we have another birthday cake (and a pleased as punch recipient judging by the photo!) with this chocolate and Reeces peanut butter cake from Natalie. She created this masterpiece for her brother's birthday dinner, and judging by the fact that a photo only got taken after several slices were already gone, I reckon it went down a treat! Make something similar for any peanut butter fans with this recipe on Tastes of Lizzy T.
Once again thanks to my awesome cake friends for coming up trumps on this theme, and please do join in for the final month of the year! Find December's not so creative theme below!
Ok, it's not the most original – think outside the box – theme we've ever had but c'mon! It's December, it's the festive season and I figured we're all going to be baking some Christmas treats throughout the month anyway, so why not end the first year of the baking club on a high and pick a theme that everyone can easily join in with.
So whether you've had your tree up since October or are being a total bah humbug this year, it's time to don your Christmas jumper, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine, put on the Christmas tunes full blast and have some fun baking up your annual supply of mince pies, festive puds and gingerbread cookies.
I can't wait to see what you all come up with – anticipating some major festive inspiration coming my way soon! Don't forget to follow along with the club on Instagram too (I promise I'm going to get better at regular posting on that account) and tag your bakes with #BBbakingclub to get featured. Also if you blog your bake throughout the month, please link back to the baking club page to encourage new members and you can add your link to the link up when it goes live next week!
Some of these look incredible! Now I want cake for lunch!

Q: Conditional expectation and partition theorem Let $X,Y$ be two random variables and consider $E[g(Y)\mid X]$. Suppose $\cup_{i=1}^N A_i= \mathbb{R}$, then do we have some thing like
$$E[g(Y)\mid X]=\sum_i E[g(Y)\mid 1_{Y\in A_i}, X]P[\{Y\in A_i\}\mid X].$$

Basically, I am trying to compute the conditional expectation of $g(Y)$ by separating it with different cases based on the value of $Y$.
I get the idea from the following equality, suppose $\cup_i A_i=A$, then
$$P(Y\in A\mid X\in B)=\sum_i P(Y\in A\mid Y\in A_i, X\in B)P(Y\in A_i\mid X\in B).$$
I know the law of total expectation but I don't know whether it can be used here.

Q: Update in couchbase I need some help in update using couchbase. I have a task in my page. If the user clicks the like then the likes count should be updated in my couchbase bucket. I have tried my own update handler code but that has some time latency. I have included my update code too below.
This is my code for liking a task...
public ResponseVO LikeTask(LikeVO likeVO)
        {
            ResponseVO response = new ResponseVO();

            try
            {
                if (!isLiked(likeVO.TaskID, likeVO.UserID))
                {

                    UpdateTaskDB likeUpdate = new UpdateTaskDB();

                    UpdateTaskVO updatetaskvo = new UpdateTaskVO();
                    updatetaskvo.FieldName = "Likes";
                    LikeVO tempvo = new LikeVO();
                    tempvo.LikedOn = DateTime.Now.ToString();
                    tempvo.UserID = likeVO.UserID;
                    tempvo.UserName = likeVO.UserName;
                    tempvo.TaskID = likeVO.TaskID;
                    updatetaskvo.ObjectValue = tempvo;
                    updatetaskvo.TaskID = likeVO.TaskID;
                    likeUpdate.UpdateDocument(updatetaskvo);
              }
                response.StatusMessage = "Liked Successfully";
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                response.StatusCode = "0";
                response.StatusMessage = ex.Message;
            }

            return response;
        }

My own update handler code:
 public class UpdateTaskDB
    {
        CouchbaseClient oCouchbase;
        public UpdateTaskDB()
        {
            oCouchbase = new CouchbaseClient("vwspace", "");
        }
        public TaskVO GetTaskByID(string task_id)
        {

            TaskVO results = null;
            try
            {
                String str1;

                str1 = (String)oCouchbase.Get(task_id);

                results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaskVO>(str1);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
            return results;
        }

        public void UpdateDocument(UpdateTaskVO inputParams)
        {
            try
            {
                var client = new CouchbaseClient("vwspace", "");
                TaskVO taskDoc = GetTaskByID(inputParams.TaskID);

                switch (inputParams.FieldName)
                {
                    case "Likes":
                        List<LikeVO> docLikes = taskDoc.likes;
                        docLikes.Add((LikeVO)inputParams.ObjectValue);
                        taskDoc.likes = docLikes;
                        break;
                    case "UnLike":
                        LikeVO unlikevo = (LikeVO)inputParams.ObjectValue;
                        for (int count = 0; count < taskDoc.likes.Count; count++)
                        {
                            if (taskDoc.likes[count].UserID.Equals(unlikevo.UserID))
                            {
                                unlikevo = taskDoc.likes[count];
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                        taskDoc.likes.Remove(unlikevo);
                        break;

                    default:
                        break;
                }

                String json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(taskDoc);
                client.Store(StoreMode.Set, inputParams.TaskID, json);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.Write("Exception :" + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }

Is ther any other way to handle this update in couchbase? Kindly help me out..

A: The latency you're seeing is likely due to the fact that you're creating two instances of the CouchbaseClient for each click.  Creating an instance of a CouchbaseClient is an expensive operation, because of the bootstrapping and configuration setup that takes place.
There are a couple of different approaches you can take to minimize how frequently you create CouchbaseClient instances.  One would be to create a static client that is reused by your data access classes.  Another approach for web apps is to associate instances with HttpApplication instances.  For an example of the Web approach, see my (incomplete) sample project on GitHub below.
https://github.com/jzablocki/couchbase-beer.net/blob/master/src/CouchbaseBeersWeb/Models/WebRepositoryBase%271.cs
Also, I would suggest using CAS operations when updating a document's like count.  You want to make sure that a "like" vote doesn't cause the entire document to be update from a stale read.
For example:
public TaskVO GetTaskByID(string task_id)
{
    var getResult = oCouchbase.ExecuteGet<string>(task_id);
    var results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaskVO>(str1.Value);
    results.Cas = getResult.Cas; //Here I'm suggesting adding a Cas property to your TaskVO
    return results;
}

Then on your update:
public void UpdateDocument(UpdateTaskVO inputParams)
{
    try
    {
        TaskVO taskDoc = GetTaskByID(inputParams.TaskID);

        switch (inputParams.FieldName)
        {
            ...
        }

        String json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(taskDoc);
        client.ExecuteStore(StoreMode.Set, inputParams.TaskID, json, taskDoc.Cas);
        //this will fail if the document has been updated by another user.  You could use a retry strategy
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.Write("Exception :" + ex.Message);
    }
}

THE body of a man who went missing in floodwaters in the aftermath of Cyclone Debbie has been found.
David Heidemann, 50, left a home on Mondure Wheatlands Rd in Mondure about 8pm on March 30.
He told family he planned to visit friends, but never arrived at his friends' house.
Emergency services led a comprehensive search for Mr Heidemann in the days after he went missing, but weren't able to find his body.
Police divers searched canals leading into Barambah Creek and swiftwater rescue teams were also part of the early search effort.
The search resumed on Saturday morning and ended about 8.30am, when a member of the State Emergency Service found his body at Barambah Creek.
Mr Heidemann was one of at least five people killed in the floods that caused widespread damage across Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Queensland Police Service said a report would be prepared for the coroner.

The Bohemians by Jasmin Darznik
In this novel of the glittering and gritty Jazz Age, young aspiring photographer Dorothea Lange arrives in San Francisco in 1918. As a newcomer–and a naive one at that–Dorothea is grateful for the fast friendship of Caroline Lee, a vivacious, straight-talking Chinese American with a complicated past, who introduces Dorothea to Monkey Block, an artists' colony and the bohemian heart of the city. Dazzled by Caroline and her friends, Dorothea is catapulted into a heady new world of freedom, art, and politics. She also finds herself falling in love with the brilliant but troubled painter Maynard Dixon. As she sheds her innocence, her purpose is awakened and she grows into the artist whose iconic Depression-era "Migrant Mother" photograph broke the hearts and opened the eyes of a nation.
A vivid and absorbing portrait of the past, The Bohemians captures a cast of unforgettable characters, including Frida Kahlo, Ansel Adams, and D. H. Lawrence. But moreover, it shows how the gift of friendship and the possibility of self-invention persist against the ferocious pull of history.

The top bachelor's and graduate programs of 2016 have been ranked based on the strength of their online education quality, according to U.S. News.
U.S. News & World Report released their 2016 Best Online Programs today, which ranks what they say is the academic quality of more than 1,200 U.S.-based distance degree programs.
Now in its fifth year, the U.S. News Best Online Programs serves as a resource to what the publication states is millions of domestic and international prospective students and working adults who are increasingly seeking online education programs for career advancement and degree completion. The directory is searchable, and can be narrowed down to factors such as tuition, program offerings and online services offered for the sake of comparison.
Only degree-granting programs at regionally accredited institutions that are offered predominately online were considered for the rankings. The 2016 Best Online Programs methodologies are based on a number of factors, including student engagement, faculty credentials, student services and technology. The rankings were created with what the publication states is extensive diligence in order to ensure that a program was not ranked highly based on the strength of its reputation alone, but instead by the quality of its online education and instructors specifically.

I am a Canadian citizen, and my wife and I have Nexus cards that we use when we go to the USA and return to Canada. We are planning a trip to Italy next summer. Will our Nexus card help us going through Italian passport control when we land, and when we return to Canada, or do we need Global Entry cards also.
The US has programs similar to NEXUS with other countries, but Italy is not one of them. You should just bring your passports on your trip to Italy.


It's a repeat for Colorado women's lacrosse coach Ann Elliott.
After guiding the Buffaloes to their first NCAA Tournament victory in the fifth year of the program's existence, Elliott on Thursday was named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association West/Midwest Region Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Elliott, who also won the first Pac-12 Conference Coach of the Year honor this past season, led the Buffs to a 14-6 record and the regular season title in the Pac-12, which hosted a women's lacrosse league for the first time in 2018. Though the Buffs lost to Stanford in the Pac-12 title game at home, CU received its second consecutive NCAA Tournament bid and posted the program's first win in the tourney, a 23-18 victory against Jacksonville. The Buffs were eliminated two days later in a 13-9 loss at Florida.
Under Elliott's guidance senior defender Sarah Brown and sophomore goalie Julia Lisella both earned first team All-America honors from the IWLCA, with Lisella winning the Goalkeeper of the Year award in her first season as a starter.
Elliott also managed to keep a grief-stricken Buffs team among the nation's elite after senior Julia Sarcona was killed in a one-car accident in January just days before preseason workouts were set to begin. Elliott owns a mark of 65-30 in five seasons as the only coach in the CU program's short history.

Who were the victims at Astroworld? Fans as young as 14 lost lives in tragic stampede
'This pain is something no one should be going through,' a friend of Franco Patino wrote while mourning his death

Brianna Rodriguez, Franco Patino, Danish Baig, and Rudy Pena were among the 8 victims who lost their lives in the Astroworld Stampede (Facebook, Twitter, GoFundMe)
Travis Scott's much-awaited Astroworld Festival began on November 5 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas, amid much excitement and fan frenzy. But the electrifying energy soon turned into tragedy as the crowd went berserk right at the entry gates. A stampede ensued and the chaos heightened so much that eight people lost their lives. The organizers of Astroworld Fest also released a statement mourning the tragic deaths. "Our hearts are with the Astroworld Festival family tonight — Especially those we lost and their loved ones. We are focused on supporting local officials however we can. With that in mind, the festival will no longer be held on Saturday," the organizers stated.
Travis Scott himself addressed the issue much later, describing it as 'devastating'. According to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, the ages of the victims have been ascertained so far as 14, 16, 21, 21, 23, 23, and 27 years, while the age of the eighth victim is yet to be found. As many as six victims have been identified so far, with their families and friends grieving their tragic deaths on social media. The list of victims includes 14-year-old John Hilgert, a Memorial High School freshman who happened to be the youngest person to lose life at the Astroworld stampede. Other victims identified so far include Brianna Rodriguez, Franco Patino, Rudy Peña, Jorge Perez, and Jacob Jurinek. Details about each of them have been shared below.

"My brother was killed in this horrendous Astroworld event that was managed poorly and supervised by such horrible people," Basil wrote on Facebook. "My brother tried to save my sister-in-law from these horrendous acts that were being done to her in the process he lost his life," he continued. "My brother Danish Baig [is] a beautiful soul whose smile would light up the room and put everyone before himself. Last night he showed his courageous act to save my sister-in-law from those horrendous things that were being done."
Brianna Rodriguez
Brianna Rodriguez was a 16-year-old high school junior from Heights High School in Houston, Texas. According to a GoFundMe page started by her family, "Dancing was her passion and now she's dancing her way to heaven's pearly gates."
"Gone from our sites, but never from our hearts. It is with profound sadness we lay to rest our beloved Brianna Rodriguez," the post mourned. So far, $7,613 has been raised for her funeral expenses out of the $30,000 goal.

Franco Patino and Jacob Jurinek
Franco Patino, 21, was a native of Naperville and a graduate of Neuqua Valley High School. He attended the Astroworld Fest with his best friend Jacob Jurinek to celebrate the latter's birthday. Unfortunately, both of them lost their lives in the stampede. Amid the chaos and commotion, another attendee tried to save them by administering CPR but they did not survive in the end.
Franco's brother Cesar Patino shared on Twitter, "I finally found the guy that helped my brother by giving him CPR to resurrect him. Thank you all for making that happen remember his name.

I'm devastated for him, for you and your family, for Jacob as well. This pain is something no one should be going through. Here's a picture I took of the boys a few years ago. Sending love," she wrote.

With summer in full swing, it's the perfect time to enjoy a refreshing stroll in the great outdoors by visiting your local farmer's market or making a run to the nearby produce stand.
Now perhaps you think that making healthy things from scratch is "just too difficult" or you've somehow convinced yourself that you just aren't much of a "cook". Maybe you have 4 children like we do and you feel like you just don't have the time.
But we know that when you try this "recipe" you'll be surprised just how simple getting a healthy snack on the table can truly be.
You can do this, and you'll be so glad you did!
You'll love this summertime snack because it's simple to make, completely delicious, and totally guilt free.
You can do this, and you'll be so glad that you did!
1. Grab a couple of ORGANIC TOMATOES, wash, and chop them to the size that you prefer for salsa.
2. Toss them into a bowl with some finely diced Vidalia or other mild ONION of choice.
3. Add a finely chopped JALAPENO (seeds removed), 1 clove minced GARLIC, HIMILAYAN PINK SALT, and FRESH BLACK PEPPER to taste.
4. Next add a splash of your favorite VINEGAR (we love balsamic), LEMON, OR fresh LIME juice for a bit of tangy flavor.
Now all that's left to do is stir all the ingredients together and enjoy!
And for another Mexican favorite, be sure to check out Family Favorite Guacamole. You definitely don't want to miss this one!


Here is an orchid that jumps up and demands to be noticed! Tones ranging from cerise to a buttery yellow on the petals make it a very warm and inviting flowering plant. Comes complete with a ceramic pot in earthy tones.


You have friends. You have dice. You have miniatures. You have Dungeon Crate.
But someone needs to run this game.
After much consideration, the group has named you as its Dungeon Master. Congratulations! It's a big honor. But now you're also realizing that it's a little bit of work.
Gather your materials. For starters, you'll need the game rules, some dice, an adventure, and some pencils and paper. That's really it. You can get more involved with rulebooks and miniatures and all kinds of other accessories (did we mention Dungeon Crate?), but you can start your first game with the basics.
An adventure? Do I have to make everything up? No, you do not. If you're into that sort of thing, you can build a campaign world, craft an epic adventure, and send your players into it. But there are loads of pre-written, tested, and fun adventures of all different flavors out there waiting for you. You can buy a big, epic hardcover book or get a small, short adventure. Whatever you like, really.
What should I have prepared? At a minimum, read through the portion of the adventure your group will play next. If it's the first game, be sure to read the introductory pages, too. It'll help you know what to expect when you're at the game table and how things might unfold.
How much improv is involved? Depends on your play style. It's totally OK to play things straight out of the book. It's also OK to make things up as you go along. Just do what makes you comfortable.
What if I don't know a rule? That's fine! Most DMs don't know every rule. We like to handle it one of a few ways: Simply say, "Pause. I have to look up that rule really quick." Or, if you think you know the rule, go ahead and make a quick ruling at the table now and look up the exact text at the next break. You could also task one of the other players to look it up for you.
You don't always have to be the Dungeon Master. If you don't want to be the one always running games, your group can rotate. You can do that every few sessions or every time you finish a small adventure or whatever is comfortable for your table.
You're going to do great. We believe in you.
You love it so much that you just have to play-set in that world. But if there's no official Harry Potter, Legend of Zelda, or Shanara RPG, what do you do?
It's not quite as easy as picking up a One Ring hardcover campaign or downloading an official Pathfinder adventure, but if you're dying to play a D&D game that follows your favorite series, story, or saga, here are a few steps to follow.
Start by identifying the villain. Create or adapt monster stats for the big bad guy, and then figure out what the villain and its minions are plotting. This can give ideas on how the adventurers might try to thwart them.
Identify monsters in the Monster Manual that are like those in the series. Create adventures and encounters based around them.
Cast your NPCs. Make sure you have outside characters ready for when the players encounter them. It should be easy to identify them from the original saga.
Go ahead and adapt adventures straight from the source material. Borrow descriptions from the book. Use maps taken from the video game. Structure fights the same way they played out in the original story.
Strip the story down to its main plot points and build your adventure and its encounters around each one. Turn those plot points into situations in which the adventurers will find themselves, and it will help immensely.
Making your RPG sessions feel like a particular world is more than just a few plot points and city names. Introduce notable NPCs. Stat out artifacts and important magic items. Pull words straight from the original story.
Adapt a solo series to fit a group. RPGs are best played with a group of adventurers, so figure out how things in the Legend of Zelda, for example, would be different if there was a group of warriors rather than just one. That might mean new challenges and puzzles or beefed up combat encounters.
Feel free to stray a little. Especially if your players are familiar with the source material, change things up a little bit to keep it fresh. Because the story can always change based on how the adventurers react, be ready to adapt and take things in a new direction.
Modify certain things about the game to fit the series. The easiest things to alter include changing the names of spells and monsters to fit the world. Adapt the story's places: kingdoms, cities, locales, taverns. The more fleshed out they are, the more it will feel like the source material.
Cut out parts that aren't useful or helpful. Every little detail of your favorite series does not need to be in the game. In fact, it may bog things down. Go ahead and cut out anything that doesn't fit or that slows down the pace too much.
This crate is the start of something big.
January's edition of Dungeon Crate is epic, the sort of thing that's perfect to kick off the wild ride ahead.
This crate contains the first installment in our new adventure series, The God Shard Trilogy. It's also packed with maps, miniatures, coins, terrain pieces, and more.
Let's see what amazing loot we'll be dropping into your Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Dungeon World, or whatever games that might grace your table.
Designed for 5th edition, this adventure is the kickoff of a new trilogy. (Where can you get the second and third installments? From Dungeon Crate, of course!) Floyd Cocklin and Kevin Coffey crafted something special for this one. Use it for your next game night. Use the all-new monsters in the back of the adventure. OR save it for when your current adventure winds down and you need something new.
The God Shard: Descent into Darkness largely takes place inside the sprawling Bleakwood Stronghold. It wouldn't be a dungeon crawl without, well, a dungeon to wander through. This premium map from Dungeon Doodles is detailed and designed to be a keeper. You can use it anytime you need an underground dungeon.
Use it as a d2. Use it to decide fights between the Paladin and the Warlock. Use it as the secret symbol of a society of werewolves. Use it as an inspiration token. Use it as currency. No matter how you use this copper coin from Shire Post Mint, you'll surely notice how freaking cool it looks.
Every time the party decides to camp for the night, you can bust out this little acrylic terrain. The pieces easily snap together and — voila — instant campfire! It's a great one to bring with you whenever the adventure requires camping outdoors. Gamecrafters did a great job making this cool terrain piece.
While ugly, this little enemy is actually a beautiful sculpt. Wielding a giant sword, clenched fist and a menacing look, this model from Reaper Miniatures is ready to assume the role of bad guy in any of your campaigns. Slap some paint on this baddie to make him look even more fierce!
This is a fun one. Any time you need a crypt, vampire's lair, or tomb scene, drop this miniature in there. Best of all, a corpse (or is it a zombie lying in wait) sits beneath the coffin's heavy lid. Maybe something will jump out when the adventurers try to open the lid.
Collect them all! The back of every insert in Dungeon Crate this year will combine to form an entire underground cavern map. This tile is the first in the series, and we can't wait to see when they're all assembled.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — The U.S. is at a pivotal point with China and will need military strength to ensure that American values, not Beijing's, set global norms in the 21st century, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Saturday.
Austin's speech at the Reagan National Defense Forum capped a week in which the Pentagon was squarely focused on China's rise and what that might mean for America's position in the world.
Pentagon sees no imminent threat to Taiwan from Chinese buildup
On Monday it released an annual China security report that warned Beijing would likely have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035, with no clarity on how China would seek to use them.
On Friday in a dramatic nighttime rollout, Austin was on hand as the public got its first glimpse of the military's newest, highly classified nuclear stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, which is being designed to best the quickly growing cyber, space and nuclear capabilities of Beijing.
China "is the only country with both the will and, increasingly, the power to reshape its region and the international order to suit its authoritarian preferences," Austin said Saturday. "So let me be clear: We will not let that happen."
The Pentagon is also concerned about Russia and remains committed to arming Ukraine while avoiding escalating that conflict into a U.S. war with Moscow, he said at the forum, held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
"We will not be dragged into Putin's war," Austin said.
"These next few years will set the terms of our competition with the People's Republic of China. They will shape the future of security in Europe," Austin said. "And they will determine whether our children and grandchildren inherit an open world of rules and rights — or whether they face emboldened autocrats who seek to dominate by force and fear."
Still, between the two nuclear power threats, China remains the greater risk, Austin said.
To meet that rise, "we're aligning our budget as never before to the China challenge," Austin said. "In our imperfect world, deterrence does come through strength."
The bomber is part of a major nuclear triad overhaul underway that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated will cost $1.2 trillion through 2046.
It includes the Raider serving as the backbone of the future air leg of the triad, but it also requires modernizing the nation's silo-launched nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles and its nuclear submarine fleet.
The Defense Department has the largest discretionary budget of all the federal agencies, and it may receive up to $847 billion in the 2023 budget if Congress passes the current funding bill before this legislative session ends.
However, defense advocates argue it is still not enough to modernize and keep up with China because much of that spending goes to military personnel. The CBO estimates that about one-quarter of the defense budget is spent on personnel costs such as salaries, health care and retirement accounts.

Here, in (very!) raw form, are my slides and audio of *most* of the 45 minutes of my presentation (it cuts off about 5 minutes before the end, unfortunately). It was really quite off-the-cuff, but felt real and good in the room…and though it might sound like a low bar, I suppose that's about as much as I'm after when it comes to these things.
Lots more to say but I'm off to be overwhelmed by life again. I hope to be back soon when I catch my breath. I'd still like to make a recording with slides of a bit more 'together' version of the talk and post it up eventually. Thanks for checking this out! Be well.
Perhaps more interesting than my presentation itself is the whole of all the great responses I received to a survey I sent out (still open, btw) about a week before the presentation. Check it out!
Looks great and some of my favourite #ELTwhiteboard shots are on your slides. Cheers.

Franklin County's IceFest will be icier than ever and events will evolve in 2023
IceFest is on track to be bigger, better and icier than ever in Franklin County in 2023.
Thousands of people are expected to slide into downtown Chambersburg Thursday through Sunday for the biggest winter festival in Pennsylvania.
Popular activities and events will be back in pre-pandemic form. After being canceled in 2021 for the first time in 19 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event returned last year for its 20th anniversary with some changes due to health and safety concerns.
"We're excited all our activities are back to how they were before COVID," IceFest co-chair Penny Shaul said.
More ice, bigger 'giant' sculptures
Organizers set out to have more ice at the festival each year, Shaul said.
Forty-seven tons of ice will be trucked into Chambersburg this year for IceFest, she said. DiMartino Ice Co., of Westmoreland County, will bring the ice and the carvers.
More ice means more ice sculptures (115-plus) than ever, according to Sam Thrush, president of Downtown Chambersburg Inc. The sculptures, each sponsored by a local business or organization, will be on display along the downtown corridor.
Family business returns to IceFest:Ice carving a blend of construction, science, art
Some of these will be "giant" sculptures that will be carved live during the first two nights of IceFest, Thursday and Friday. These sculptures will be bigger than ever this year.
Being able to see ice carving is a key draw to IceFest, Thrush said.
"I think people love having a community event in the middle of the winter to get out of their house, stretch their legs, to see ice carving. You don't get to see that kind of art that often," he said.
IceFest activities evolve
The Icing on the Cake competition will return to the Wood Center in Capitol Theatre on Saturday, after cake entries were separated and displayed in downtown storefronts last year. Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., people will be able to check out the sweet creations by student, amateur and professional cake designers and vote on their favorites for $1 per vote or $10 per 12 votes. Also returning: free cake, at 4 p.m.
Chili Q, where paying guests can try 10 samples of barbecue and chili and vote on their favorites ($20 day of, $15 in advance), and the Beer Garden will move back to the borough parking lot on North Main Street, next to Avocado Cafe. The hot pepper eating contest will also return to Chili Q, and there will be a new event, the "wing off." Shaul wouldn't divulge details about it but encouraged people to keep their eyes on IceFest's website and Facebook page for new information.
How do you keep a downtown alive?Take care of its heart.
An adult scavenger hunt will be added to the event lineup this year. Unlike the children's scavenger hunt, where participants answer questions based on the festival's many ice sculptures, the adult version will focus on local history and businesses, Shaul said. Mittens, created by local artists, will be hidden downtown to guide adult hunters. The winner of the adult hunt will be awarded $150, while youth winners win gift bags (forms with all correct answers are entered into a drawing from which one winner is selected in each age category).
The Snowfall Ball will return Friday to the social hall at Central Presbyterian Church on Memorial Square. With social distancing in mind, it was held at a larger venue last year.
There have always been plenty of food vendors at IceFest, but this year the event will host one of Downtown Chambersburg Inc.'s official Food Truck Festivals. Started in 2020 to help DCI recoup fundraising dollars lost due to COVID-19 restrictions, the seasonal festivals have become popular attractions. The IceFest iteration will take place Saturday and Sunday, with trucks and other vendors along Main Street and Lincoln Way Saturday and in the borough parking lot on North Main Street on Sunday.
The double-wide ice slide, located in the parking lot next to YP Jewelry at 133 S. Main St., will remain a popular part of IceFest this year. The Run Your Ice Off 5K will close out the event on Sunday. Local organizations will also host performances, exhibits and other activities during IceFest.
A new, often busy, event from last year that won't be back is ice skating.
"It just didn't work out this year," Thrush said. "We'll see if there's a future with it."
Traffic, weather and other IceFest things to know
IceFest is a fundraiser for Downtown Chambersburg Inc., Downtown Business Council and Chambersburg Council for the Arts. M&T Bank is the presenting sponsor.
The hours of official Icefest events are 5-8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. Keep in mind ice sculptures will be open for viewing anytime and accompanying events may begin earlier.
The festival area will be closed to traffic on Saturday. Between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., vehicles will not be allowed on Main Street between King Street in the north to Washington Street in the South or on Lincoln Way between Second Street and Black Avenue.
It appears that the weather will be just right for IceFest. Less than a week out, Accuweather's forecast shows high temperatures in the 30s on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but slightly warmer in the low 40s on Thursday. No major precipitation is on the forecast so far.

I recently created a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days on dayzeroproject.com and this seemed like a pretty good idea to blog for two reasons. 1) I want to track my progress and updates on the list and 2) coming up with 101 things is hard and I found reading other people's lists really helpful, so hopefully posting this might help someone else!
So here are the 101 things I want to achieve between October 21st 2017 and July 18th 2020.
I plan to blog everytime I complete something on the list, and perhaps an updated list with competed/in progress/ not started every couple of months. Wish me luck!

Bears Beets Bobbleheads: Talkin' Office

'Twin Peaks' Will Air On Showtime; Companion Book In The Works
Two weeks ago, David Lynch and Mark Frost, the Lennon-McCartney of creepy cult television, announced they are returning "Twin Peaks" after a 25-year hiatus.
"Twin Peaks" was a show that centered around the murder of a small town high school girl, Laura Palmer. While that worked as the hook, it was the idiosyncratic characters of this fictional small town in Washington state that really kept the viewers in.
It combined satirizing the TV soap operas of the late '80s and early '90s, a criminal investigation show and horror-inspired surrealism. Because it wouldn't be a David Lynch project without that.
That surrealism included a place called The Black Lodge that operated as both heaven and hell where a backward talking dwarf would dance erratically and the personification of pure evil in the form of a long haired man who brutally murdered people while possessing other people's bodies and stealing their souls resided.
You knew when it was him possessing bodies, because when his host body looked into a mirror, it was the demon-hippie man looking back.
And at the ripe old age of nine-years-old, my dad would have me watch this show with him. I'd be lying if I said this show didn't mess me up a little bit in the long run.
The show didn't live past two seasons. Lynch made an even creepier prequel/sequel a year after it was canceled with "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me." That film was mostly a miss for a lot of fans.
Over the years, "Twin Peaks" has inspired many shows. "X-Files," "Lost," "Fringe" and others were able to exist because "Twin Peaks" made it OK for a drama to tap into the strange and supernatural.
And now it's coming back. Twenty-five years after Laura Palmer's soul told FBI Agent Dale Cooper in that Black Lodge she would see him again after the afore mentioned quarter of a century time lapse.
It will be a nine-episode run, written by Frost and Lynch, with each episode directed by Lynch.
When I heard that, I realized that in 2016, when this is due to air, I might have to end my near decade long absence from cable TV. Because I really want to see this.
Also, a book detailing what happened to the characters between the series finale and the return is in the works. Written by Frost, this book should explain what happened to these characters since we last saw them.
I will be buying that too, when it comes out next year. It will allow them to not have to tread backward too much explaining why some characters are not there (a few of the actors have died over the years).
Having loved the series most of my life, I'm pretty stoked that this is happening. David Lynch's films are very interesting, but "Twin Peaks" is my favorite of his work. I think having Mark Frost ground him a little from going overboard on the weird stuff is what made this show great for the most part (a lot of season two was garbage).
So, yes, more "Twin Peaks" is great news to me.

Senate Republicans All Set to Confirm Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court on Monday
By Daniel Politi

It's all but a done deal. The Senate voted Sunday to end debate on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Having cleared the key procedural step leaves the door open for the final vote that is expected Monday evening, meaning the 48-year-old judge is all but certain to become the next Supreme Court justice a little over a week before Election Day. In a rare Sunday session, senators voted largely along party lines—51 to 48—to move forward with the nomination. Sen. Kamala Harris wasn't present for the vote, and the only Republicans who voted against the measure were Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. Murkowski had already said that while she opposes the rushed process, she will be voting in favor of Barrett's confirmation.

After the expected vote on Monday night, Barrett could have her first full day as justice as early as Tuesday, meaning she will be on the bench to hear any legal challenges related to the Nov. 3 election. Republican leaders were not shy about celebrating the vote Sunday that cements a conservative-leaning Supreme Court that could last decades. Barrett is Trump's third nominee to the Supreme Court and would give the court a 6-to-3 conservative majority. "We made an important contribution to the future of this country," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said. "A lot of what we've done over the last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won't be able to do much about this for a long time to come."

Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday night he will be at the confirmation vote on Monday. "As vice president, I'm president of the Senate. And I'm going to be in the chair because I wouldn't miss that vote for the world," Pence said. "Come this Monday night, Judge Amy Coney Barrett is going to be Justice Amy Coney Barrett. We're going to fill that seat." Pence made the promise during a campaign rally in Tallahassee, Florida, shortly before it was revealed that several members of his staff have been diagnosed with COVID-19 recently.
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer used the opportunity to criticize the White House and how it has dealt with the coronavirus pandemic. "The vice president, who's been exposed to five people with COVID-19, will ignore CDC guidelines to be here tomorrow, putting the health of everyone who works in this building at risk," Schumer said. "It sets a terrible, terrible example for the American people, and nothing could be more a metaphor for what's going on here."

The beauty of travel writing is that you can write an article about almost every aspect of your travels and find a home for it somewhere. This page will give you some idea of the types of travel stories you can write and sell. It will also give you an idea of some of the terminology used in the travel writing industry.
There are some common themes for travel articles, there are travel articles that focus on "the best" that a place has to offer, and there are travel stories based on specific areas of interest. This might include things like luxury travel, adventure travel, beer and wine, just to name a few.
Additionally, you can develop a list of writing genres unique to your own areas of interest.
Expanding your writing genres has a lot of benefits.
One of the most common types of travel stories is known as a "roundup".
The standard travel roundup piece gives an overview of a place and a brief insight into each of the attractions it has to offer. Researching these stories will keep you busy because you'll be squeezing a visit to all of the attractions a place has to offer in a very short time.
Many magazines snap up stories about unusual attractions.
I once submitted a story about the mysterious Oregon Vortex at Gold Hill, Oregon, to a magazine. In this place the bizarre is commonplace: people change height in relation to each other as they walk along a piece of wood set into the ground, a broom stands up by itself in an old mining hut, gravity feels stronger in some parts of the Vortex and pulls you around, golf balls appear to run uphill, and other strange things. This is an unusual attraction story.
Weekend Getaways stories are very popular in urban and regional travel and lifestyle magazines. These are usually about places within a few hours' drive of home.
Bed & Breakfast review articles find homes in upscale travel and lifestyle magazines, for an audience that enjoys luxury travel and peaceful surroundings. Many B&B's are upscale and qualify as luxury travel. If you want to know how I got into this well-pampered niche, you can read my story and the steps you can take to get started in luxury travel writing.
Art and Architecture stories describe some of the most notable buildings in a city or town and describe their history and decoration. Many stories have been written about the influence of Spanish artist Gaudi in Barcelona for example, and many stories have been written about Frank Lloyd Wright's designs and interiors. I recently wrote a story about the large number of beautifully restored Victorian homes in Port Angeles, Washington.
Historical Account articles tell about a place and what it looks like today. I have written a number of these stories, a recent one being in International Living magazine about the re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury, at this small town's annual medieval fair. I wrote a separate article about writing historical travel articles.
Eco-Tourism has become a popular topic and your story does not even have to be completely about a green resort or attraction. It could touch on a resort that uses sustainable practices to preserve the environment. And it could be part of as roundup article.
When To Go articles tell the reader the best time to visit a place to avoid the crowds and harsh weather. For example, many writers describe a city in Europe in the shoulder seasons (spring or fall) when the summer tourist rush had receded.
Getting There and Getting Around stories tell a reader how to travel to a place, and what transport is available once they are there. Such articles describe airlines that fly to the destination, how to get from the airport to the city without being ripped off by overpriced taxis, and how to use the subways, trams, and buses in the city. Such stories also tell about walking tours that the reader can take to see the most important sights.
A best attraction story focuses solely on a place's top attraction and provides some detail about it. For example, if you consider the Eiffel Tower to be Paris's main attraction, you would write about its history, what it looks like today, and about your experience and the views when you went up the tower.
A best tour story covers an outstanding tour or activity that stands above all others in the region. On a recent visit to San Francisco my audio guide tour of Alcatraz prison and Island blew all the city's other tourist attractions away (and that's hard to do in San Francisco!). Your story would describe such a tour and what made it so outstanding.
Best eats articles usually run as short front-of-the-book stories, and cover a particular restaurant, food theme, or an area with a high concentration of eating establishments. I have written brief 250-word restaurant descriptions for Coast Food & Arts magazine, in which I described the restaurant's flagship dishes, and the ambience and service.
Best shopping stories are popular with women's magazines and tell about your shopping experience in one particular shop or mall, or a particular market.
Best lodgings articles are always popular with travel magazine editors. I recently finished a 15-day tour of the Pacific Northwest's most rustic luxury lodges for a regional travel magazine. My story described each lodge, the rooms, the surroundings, its restaurants and spas, and the features that made each lodge so unique. This is but one aspect of luxury travel.
Almost anything can become a "best" travel story. Use your imagination - what are some of the best things you've experienced when you travel? Thinking about these things will lead to luxury travel story ideas.
Another type of travel story focuses on your interests and passions. In my opinion - these are the best kinds of stories because you're writing about something you love, and traveling to a place where you would want to go anyway. And you can take it a step further with your own specialized writing genres. This is my favorite way to get published more often.
Try writing museum stories. That's one easy way to break into travel writing and earn money while you do it.
Another easy genre for freelance travel writers is writing for boating magazines and other nautical publications. If boating isn't your thing and living overseas is your thing, you can write for expat magazines. It's an easy niche for novices.
Instead of things that float, maybe things on wheels is interesting to you. Writing about vehicles may be your travel writing niche.
And if fitness and health is your thing, you might want to check out my article about breaking into fitness magazines.


A plumbing system is used to enhance conveyance of water in a building to the different areas where it is needed. There is a number of equipment used for plumbing which includes valves, pipes, plumbing fixtures, tanks and others that may be needed to convey the water. Removal of dirty water from a house and conveyance of potable water into a house are the main uses of installing a plumbing system in a house. The plumbing system should be installed in a building for enhancing and maintaining public health standards and sanitation. Pipes are the main devices used in a plumbing system which can be made of either plastic or metal. Potable water in a building is recommended to be supplied by the use of plastic pipes although not highly durable as metal but cannot be corroded. There are also good quality metal pipes that are rarely affected by the water such as through corrosion since the water sometimes may contain some compounds. For the plumbing fixtures, they help in the exchange of potable water and dirty used water in a system. Bathtubs, showers, water closets, bidets, urinals, ice makers, kitchen sinks and drinking fountain are some of the plumbing fixtures used in a building.
The plumbing systems are mainly installed either in the bathrooms and the kitchens. Water closets, bathtubs, showers, bidets and urinals are some of the plumbing fixtures that are put in a bathroom. Water closets are toilets which can either be placed inside the house or outside. In a bathroom, the bathtub is used for taking baths which can hold a large amount of water same to a basin. For bathing using sprays that either release cold or hot water are known as showers. For cleaning genital areas in a bathroom, one can use the bidets for the purpose. Urinals are plumbing fixtures for sanitary measures that are majorly used for men. For the kitchens, sinks as plumbing fixtures are put in the kitchen for holding the dishes while washing them and also helps in food preparation. Kitchen sinks can be used to supply both hot and cold water as well as a spray feature that helps to rinse utensils faster when cleaning. The sink also has a drain used for removing the used dirty water, there is also a shutoff device to stop the flow of the water and also a device for preventing overflow.
One should consider various factors when in need of plumbing equipment. Having a budget for the items needed will enable one to scout for the suitable plumbing equipment that will suit one's needs. Suitable plumbing equipment can be obtained by scouting for the best quality brands available in the market.
