When you first hear the word NAAMS, your initial reaction, myself included, may be to ask "what are NAAMS?" Even after finding out that it is an acronym for North American Automotive Metric Standards, you will probably still be confused. This blog is to help you along the way in understanding what they are and how they are used within the manufacturing and engineering industry. Everything you need to know will be found here!
The full name for NAAMS is NAAMS Global Standard Components and it is broken up into two divisions, assembly and stamping. These are approved components to be utilized in designing and manufacturing Stamping Dies and Tooling which aid in producing or joining various workpieces together in the production process.
The assembly division consists of components to be used in conjunction with one another to complete production setups. They include shims and spacers for filling in gaps or creating space where adjustments are needed in the design and manufacturing process. Stop blocks and NC blocks with power clamp arms give workpieces a place to rest while a production process occurs. But, a vital part for all of this is locating. Without having correct placement of workpieces, the production process will be inaccurate. This is achieved by utilizing L-blocks, locating pins, pin retainers, and rough locators. While the rough locator works to get the parts close to the proper position, locating pin setups with L-blocks and pin retainers help to precisely set the workpiece, thereby, locating into position. Risers take a particular setup and elevate it to the desired height. The image below helps to illustrate a common setup that is used in achieving all of this.
Dump units and drop away leaf units are pivot components which are included in the assembly division. Each unit is comprised of their own individually specified parts and when assembled, make up part of the completed production setup. Dump units literally do what their name entails, they "dump" or "feed" parts to and from sections of the production process. Drop away leaf units swing in a circular motion to also either feed or take away workpieces to and from the automation process. Both units are driven by a connected cylinder. The image below shows an assembled dump unit and drop away leaf unit.
Nowadays, robots are making up a lot of the automation industry and have been for many years. NAAMS also have components which are tailored towards this sector of production. End effectors are the hands to a robot which make contact with workpieces. There are end effector frames with robot adapter plates and many brackets that are standard to robot setups including robot risers and bases. See the image below for a common robot setup within the automation world.
There are many other assembly components which are listed below with the ones mentioned above. Each one carries their own PDF catalog of NAAMS codes and dimensional drawings which are accessible by clicking on the corresponding component names.
The stamping division includes components used in the punch and die stamping process. The full list of components and guidelines can be found in PDF format from the table below by clicking on the desired title name.
With the acceptance of NAAMS components into the manufacturing and design industry, production costs have decreased while increasing efficiency at the same time. They have become essential for engineers and manufacturers from start to finish. Not only are they making an impact in the automotive industry but they've found their way into many other sectors as well. These include the health industry, food and beverage, and even aerospace. Standard components are the way go!

According to a new ABC poll, 74% of Republicans approve of Bush's handling of the Katrina disaster, and only 47% of all Americans disapprove.
Via Kevin Drum, the Army Corps of Engineers knew of the Levee breach early Monday, and FEMA has been busy preventing aid from getting to New Orleans.
At what point does incompetence shade into genocide?
Bush was not perfect this time, but with all the things he can do working since Saturday or so, and with a growing body of knowledge what obstacles he actually faced, I approve him, too.
If you want to save your city, you should first of all elect a mayor and a governor who is a friend with the president (like the mayor of NYC in 2001), regardless of her or his affiliation. My sympathies for Ray Nagin decreased markedly.
He apparently wanted to become the secretary of defense or something like that and directly control the federal army. I would not give him this job either.
He does not talk with the LA governor, Kathleen Blanco, another Democrat, since the times he supported her opponent in the elections. And they did not talk to each other even when this disaster occured.
They were necessary for the federal administration to be invited which they hesitated to do for several days. I am not blaming anybody; I am just explaining why I think that Bush was alright.
CapitalistImperialistPig 11:51 AM
Lumo - Unsurprisingly, you have bought the administration propaganda line completely. Perhaps an investigation can sort it out. I'm more inclined to believe
We wanted soldiers, helicopters, food and water," said Denise Bottcher, press secretary for Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana. "They wanted to negotiate an organizational chart."
from today's NYT.
You were close to the mark with this one though: If you want to save your city, you should first of all elect a mayor and a governor who is a friend with the president
That's the way it works in facist kleptocracies, alright, so those who prefer such a system are no doubt gratified.
It's not terribly important whether you label someone as "fascist kleptocrat" just because he can communicate with the president constructively. Nothing changes about the fact that this is a necessary condition for things to go right whenever a federal help is needed.
Yes, I may be believing certain reports from Washington. And I still find it more reasonable than to believe a random Denise Bottcher whom I've never heard of. You may have a different approach, but it is your problem. It's you who then derives wrong conclusions, not me.
Incidentally, if the people were really up to their job, I think that they should be able to negotiate an organizational chart within minutes or hours. Such a chart may help to avoid various wrong decisions, doubled work, contradictory orders, and so forth.
For example, it's important to know who is controlling the police officers etc. - because this may mean that they're either used to stop looting, or to make rescue efforts.
But this true "management" is not exactly the thing that they cared about much. They thought that their business is probably just about screaming and getting infinite resources from anyone else. The fact that hundreds or thousands of school buses were drowned, instead of being used for anything by the local authorities, does not bother anyone. It's OK enough just to scream that they want to decouple the buses or anything else, for that matter.
The reason why it does not bother anyone is that this fact is uninteresting for the leftwinger's tasteless goals, and the Republicans usually don't want to play this game because it is not sufficiently clean game for their standards.
CapitalistImperialistPig 12:34 PM
Lumo - You have a good point about labels, especially invidious ones. My bad.
Who to believe is a always a difficult question, but the facts we have in hand are pretty damning: Federal help was very slow to arrive (Herbert Hoover in 1927 got help to victims of the great 1927 flood twice as fast - without airplanes; more recently, aid reached tsunami victims faster also.) Moreover, FEMA officials, and the President have repeatedly expressed ignorance of things widely known.
Lumo - the Republicans usually don't want to play this game because it is not sufficiently clean game for their standards.
I'm sorry Lumo, but I think you live on a different planet, or perhaps brane than I. Your idea of a clean game is what Bush did to McCain in South Carolina?(Spreading false rumors that his dark skinned adopted asian daughter was his illegitimate child) or Rove's little trick of spreading a false rumor that a candidate was a sex offender). How about the little phone jamming scheme that Republican Congressional campaign officials in New Hampshire are currently under indictment for?
exMI 7:33 PM
How about the simple fact that it is illegal for the federal government to just send the army in and take over everything. (short of a rebellion of course)
The Gov. of LA has her own helicopters and soldiers, where were they? Why hadn't she laid in a supply of food adn water when it became clear the hurricane was going to hit? I am not a big fan of Bush but the Louisiana Government just dropped teh ball completely. The mayor of NO did no better.When you issue a mandatory evacuation you are sort of obligated to evacute people. Especially those who can't take care of themselves. He had school busses, transit busses, city vehicles sitting around that he could have used to get peopel the heck out of the city. He also could have arranged for sufficient food and water at the Superdome.
A major failure at the local level that greatly complicates outside help arriving.
CapitalistImperialistPig 8:50 PM
There may well have been local failure, but once the President declares a national emergency, the Federal Government has the responsibility. You have bought into the Rove spin here, I'm afraid. This is documented on several sites.
They can't do that," former agency chief of staff Jane Bullock said of Bush administration efforts to shift responsibility away from Washington. "The moment the president declared a federal disaster, it became a federal responsibility....The federal government took ownership over the response," she said. Bush declared a disaster in Louisiana and Mississippi when the storm hit a week ago.
(from Kevin Drum)
The coverup is proceeding at full speed - why else would the President, and man with no investigative experience, appoint himself to lead the investigation into the failures? Next, Dick Cheney will lead the investigation into the fabricated Iraq nukes intelligence, and Karl Rove will investigate the outing of the CIA agent.
Anti-Libertarian: re-post
The most pointed critique of social security and liberalism in general is the libertarian critique. The problem with libertarians, for a liberal, is that we have too much in common. We both believe in individual rights, tolerance of individual differences, and dislike government prescription of religion. The basic difference, it seems to me, is the different answers we give to Cain's (with thanks to the Captain - my original version had the corpse asking the question!) famous question: "Am I my brother's keeper?" That's not really my basic bitch against the libertarians though. My real complaint is the same as my complaint against most religion - its premise is a fraud. For those who can't stand to wait for the punchline, I believe that trying to implement libertarian principles leads to tyranny or social disintegration. Demonstrating that takes some historical (and pre-historical) context. For all but the last 15,000 or so of the 100,000 years the human sp
Coverup Report
The coverup is in full swing. Check out Josh Marshall : At first the evidence was scattered and anecdotal. But now it's pretty clear that a key aim of the Bush administration's takeover of the NOLA situation is to cut off press access to report the story. And this from Kevin Drum , including this quote: At the National Guard checkpoint, they are under orders to turn away all media. All of the reporters are turning they're TV trucks around." from Bob Brigham Impeach Bush. Do it now!

This was going to be a thread about the comparative merits of the Asnes Mountain Race 48 (60-48-53) and the Mountain Touring 51 (60-51-55): super similar profiles, which should I choose, how much difference does the sidecut make, skin, waxed or waxless?
We can talk about this, but I've made my decision (MR51 with the waxable sole), and I really want to evangelise about the Åsnes skin system. It is genius.
I've been equivocating about two pairs of skis, and going insane. All ski buying's a matter of compromise unless you're rich enough for something absolutely specific to conditions and purpose. In my case, this leads to protracted and serious torment in which I just get on the internet and hassle my poor wife for answers. My issue, basically, is that for a couple of reasons it must be a single pair, they have to be Åsnes, they have to be the best all-season skis possible, the 'season' can be quite extreme (we live in arctic Norway), and I really don't want to be waxing in the spring.
My wife's in love with the MR48 Skin. It's a done deal. They're fast as f*ck and she's Scandinavian so she can basically climb trees in them. They're in the post.
I prefer the profile of the MR51: I'm not going to be using them for parallel turns, they'll get me up and down hills where the groomed tracks run out (four hours+ on the mountain and back to the car or the hut), I live right on the lysløper (the groomed tracks) so they have to be OK on the rails, they're fractionally wider than the MR48, I am a bad skier: best of all worlds.
The issue was that I wanted the all-snow convenience of skins but I wanted the profile of the MT51, and that configuration didn't exist. I'll be on the tracks every day, hitting the hills at weekends and on cheeky weekdays. I need to keep up with my wife as best I can – and given the disparity in our technique, her on a skinned ski me on scales – I'm not persuaded that's possible, especially in radically changing conditions.
I also need to keep up with Norwegians.
But the MT51 only comes in waxable or fishscale.
So I've been like, "Ah, what the hell, go for the MR48 Skin and a climbing skin, so what, they're brilliant" and five minutes later "Yes, but the MT51 is so incredibly delicious and fractionally more stable, and some of the hills here are insane." Back and forth and back and forth. Tiny distinctions, but magnified to a degree where I was going crazy.
But this whole issue doesn't exist. Because I'm going to get the MR51 with the waxable sole... and I'm never going to put kick wax on it. Nor am I going to put klister on it when I'm sliding on gritty slush.
No one told me. Everyone else knew. It turns out you can just lock in a mohair racing skin and whizz along the løper without wax or scales. I can hit the mountain and just put on a nylon/mohair climbing skin. Asnes's Skinlock isn't just for climbing skins. It's for making your waxed sole or your conventional waxless sole into a skinned sole without friction harshing your glide.

I've been out a couple times recently with my 210 MT51's and love them. I was using the Rex Universal pine tar wax on cold ice and it worked great. I like the simple graphics on the MT series, they are nice-looking skis to leave sitting around the living room!
Yes, the waxing version is more flexible, you have all the advantages of wax in cold weather and you can use skins for warm weather. I shortened a 35mm nylon skin to just behind the heel on my Gamme's and it worked well in ice and slush. Another advantage is the skins are much quieter than the constant noise produced by scales. The skins work on both warm snow and granular ice too.
The only downside is the skin can come off at some point. Kicker skins are a little more high maintenance - more prone to coming off or getting twisted. I would love try some of the Asnes waxless skis - I see the waxless MT51 only goes up to 205cm where the waxing goes to 210cm. Still looking to replace my old 210 fishscale Kharu's, the MT51 are the closest one available, I'd like to see Asnes make an edge-less Amundsen or MT ski also.
Yes, Cannatonic... I've never skied with skins before, so I'm really looking forward to testing these.
I'm planning a few swipes of blue Swix if it's cold and staying cold, and otherwise just putting on a skin.
Musk Ox, that was a fun read! You obviously have a severe case of the Asnes fever. But you are not alone!
I believe the true advantage of the MR48 skin is that, being integrated, the half skin does not protude from the ski base as much, so you are getting an optimal glide when compared to the attached half skin (as good as it is). Note that the MR48 SKIN does also come with a half skin attachment. These are not one and the same! You will get better grip but surely much worse glide with the attached half skins when compared to both wax or that special MR48skin.
Keep in mind the MR48 Skin is based on a new trend we are seeing in traditional XC skis produced by most all major players these days (fisher, salomon, etc.). I'm excited about it.
If I were you, I would get the MR48 Skin just like your partner! Then, slow her down by placing rocks in her backpack, or better yet, get some professional XC ski lessons! There is hardly anything better in this world than the most efficient Kick & Gliiiiiide (ok, possibly an amazing slicer t-turn).
You will find some reviews of the Asnes half skins in our Community Skis Reviews section.
Take care and enjoy the snow lucky Norskman!

I just read your other post - so you're only allowed 1 pair of skis, the waxing MT51's are perfect. First and foremost you live in a cold climate and you don't want to miss out on the pleasure of gliding along on blue wax days, the days that remind us all why we do ski touring!
You'll do fine on warm days with kicker skins - I have the older Asnes skins with the open metal clip, I bought a "race roll" of mohair skin so I can cut & customize my own skins on the Asnes clips whenever I want and cheaply.

Also, Musk Ox, don't stop posting. What a great thread! And pics. Even random pics. Trip reports, definitely.
edit to add: We are all hitting our heads against the screen solving our most problematically esoteric ski problems. This is why this site exists. If you want to go down some crazy rabbit-holes about flex, camber, double camber, "how many mm of camber, exactly? Please compare between these two very hard to find skis" this is the place to do it.
We are all crazy with speculation on the obscure, and no one races, even. Welcome.
Also, I just went down to my basement to fondle my Fischer Country Wax/Crowns that I have. They have very familiar profiles to the Mountain Touring 51. 60-52-57 dimensions and big camber (but no 3/4 metal edges, they are edgeless). They are really great skis, I love them. They are fast and stable and light and like lightning and they have been in Fischer's stable for years. But the Asnes X-Skin changes this equation. While I have two Fischer Countries for conditions- wax and waxless (I go beserk on wax skis in wet granular snow) ONE Mountain Touring 51 with the X-Skin factor would eliminate a pair entirely-- which means if someone is looking for this class ski they are saving money by buying the pricier Asnes... if anyone needs that motivation.
Musk Ox wrote: The MR46 probably isn't going to give me the lift I need if have to negotiate deeper snow and I'm specifically thinking about wax-free: basically I'm only allowed one pair of skis and they have to do everything from one end of the season to the other, on groomed tracks every weekday and in the hills at weekends, from sorry-we'll-have-to-amputate-your-nose temperatures to above freezing. Also I live in arctic Norway and I have to keep up with Norwegians, who are better than you are at moving on skis.
I'm assuming he's worried he'd loose his partner as she flied away on her MR48 Skins while he worked through his bag of waxes looking for the perfect match.
By the way, I am happy to hear you are enjoying the Rex Universal tar wax!
I have greatly enjoyed reading this thread! Thank you for sharing your great deliberation!

This made me laugh out loud- very loud. Thank you- I love to laugh!
I am interested in what all of your locals are using for touring? Is your wife on the cutting edge with her skin-skis- are many others using skin skis- or, are most using grip wax?
I'll be on the tracks every day, hitting the hills at weekends and on cheeky weekdays.
This is where its at. Every Nordic skier needs to live somewhere that they can do this from their doorstep- all winter.
And we all need a job where we can sneak away and go for a tour on "cheeky weekdays"!!!!!!!!
Please note that I get a lot of fresh snow to ski on- use grip and kick wax for weeks on end- and only use the skins during momentary winter thaws; VERY steep climbs; and full-on spring skiing (and I also have waxless skis for spring skiing as well).

Thanks to Harold Camping of Family Radio, there's been a lot of talk about the end of the world lately. According to Harold, the end of the world was supposed to occur last Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 6pm Central Daylight Savings Time.
Evidently, Harold was mistaken in his calculations (which were many). Poor guy, I'm sure he's bummed out and maybe a little humbled. After all, he put a lot of time and research in calculating the exact date and time the Rapture would occur. Then he spent a lot of time and, I presume, money to spread the word and give everyone a "heads up" so that they could prepare.
I know that Mr. Camping was trying to give the unprepared an opportunity to get their spiritual affairs in order and I can't fault him for his love of mankind. But, not everyone reacts the same way to that type of news. Some may take the opportunity to reconcile with God and put things right. Others, though, may be paralyzed in panic. Still others may get the apocalyptic version of "senioritis" and take on an attitude of "Who cares? I'm outta here in a few days anyway!"
Singer Kris Allen of American Idol fame made a slightly different point in his song, "Live Like We're Dying". The lyrics of the song say, "We've only got 86,400 seconds in the day to turn it all around or to throw it all away." In other words, he's saying don't waste the time you've been given and don't take your life for granted. I like that attitude. Don't waste your limited time on earth in anger or resentment. Instead, use your time to forgive and care for others as well as you are able. That's my plan. I won't do it perfectly. I'm sure I'll get discouraged or angry or frustrated. But, hopefully, under that frustration or anger or discouragement will be an underlying and deep faith in God. And when the time comes for the world to end, I trust that God will take care of me. After all, He's doing a pretty good job of it now.
I hope this doesn't sound rude but, Harold, if you're listening, the next time you calculate the end of the world, keep it to yourself. Thanks!

Als de dijken breken was een Nederlands-Vlaamse dramaserie die in 2016 in Nederland werd uitgezonden door de EO en in Vlaanderen door één.

Verhaal
De serie speelt zich af in Nederland (Randstad) en België (West-Vlaanderen), waar een watersnoodramp plaatsvindt. De serie volgt ruwweg vijf verhaallijnen. De eerste volgt Nederlands minister-president Hans Kreuger (Gijs Scholten van Aschat), die de rust in het land moet bewaren, maar tegelijkertijd zijn eigen familie in veiligheid wil brengen. De tweede verhaallijn volgt de omhooggevallen familie Wienesse. Robert (Loek Peters) en Marion (Susan Visser) hebben een slecht huwelijk, maar worden door de ramp gedwongen om tot elkaar te komen.

De derde en vierde volgt de Vlaamse familie Van Daele. Vader Ronnie (Thomas Ryckewaert) zit in een Nederlandse gevangenis die dreigt te overstromen. Moeder Sonja (Daisy Van Praet) probeert hun kinderen te beschermen tegen het water in Oostende. Tot slot volgt de serie de terneergeslagen weduwnaar en violist David Stein (Aart Staartjes), wiens leven na zijn pensionering glans krijgt wanneer het meisje Kimmy (Jamelia Sanda Nana) onderdak bij hem zoekt.

Aflevering 1

Marion Wienesse is aan de kust wanneer ze getuige is van een ongeval met een kitesurfer, die door een sterke windvlaag tegen een appartementsblok geblazen wordt. De Nederlandse minister-president Hans Kreuger is aanwezig bij de huldiging van de gekende violist David Stein, die stopt na de dood van zijn vrouw, wanneer hij opgeroepen wordt om naar het commandocentrum in Den Haag te gaan. In België heeft premier André Verbeke immers besloten om delen van West-Vlaanderen te evacueren omdat in Oostende de Spuikom dreigt te overstromen door een nakende storm. De Nederlandse regering kan hierdoor niet anders dan zelf ook een advies uit te sturen naar de bevolking omtrent het overstromingsgevaar. Robert Wienese heeft een affaire met zijn vrouwelijke collega en wil van zijn vrouw scheiden, wat de spanning in het gezin doet oplopen. In hun huis vallen internet en televisie uit door de storm. In het commandocentrum wordt overlegd of de Randstad al dan niet geëvacueerd moet worden voor een mogelijke overstroming. Als de dijken breken zal er namelijk in Nederland een niet te overziene ramp ontstaan. De evacuatie zou echter ook een grote economische schade kunnen veroorzaken en het einde vormen van de coalitie.

In Rotterdam is de Belgische familie Van Daele op bezoek bij de vader des huizes in de gevangenis, waar deze zit voor doodslag. Het is enkele dagen voor de verjaardag van hun jongste dochter Femke. Wanneer het gezin weer moet vertrekken omdat ze minder tijd hadden dan gewoonlijk (door de storm hadden ze grote vertraging opgelopen) wordt Ronnie agressief tegen bewaker Samir en moet hij naar de isoleercel. Het gezin gaat terug naar Oostende, waar net een grote evacuatie aan de gang is. Ze besluiten toch naar huis te gaan omdat 'de Bomma' daar nog zit. Deze weigert het huis te verlaten en naar een opvangcentrum te gaan.

Enkele dagen later breekt de storm helemaal los. Hans Kreuger belt naar zijn vrouw om haar naar veiliger oorden te laten gaan, hoewel het nog steeds niet zeker is of er al dan niet gevaar dreigt. Zijn vrouw besluit echter tegen het protest van haar man in haar vader in het bejaardentehuis op te halen en te vertrekken. Een verpleegster neemt hier een foto van en plaatst hem op het internet. Er ontstaat zo ongewild paniek in heel de Randstad en vele mensen besluiten te vertrekken. Hierdoor ontstaan er lange files op de uitvalswegen. Ook het gezin Wienesse besluit te vertrekken. Vader Robert is getuige van hoe zijn maîtresse sterft wanneer ze door een groot verkeersbord wordt weggemaaid. Bij thuiskomst heeft zijn vrouw alle koffers al gemaakt en ze vertrekken even later.

In het commandocentrum loopt de spanning intussen hoog op. Niemand weet of de dijken het al dan niet zullen houden. De minister-president stuurt het bericht uit aan iedereen om de hoogte in te gaan. Dit terwijl duizenden mensen nog in de wagen zitten, vele meters onder zeeniveau.

Dan breken de dijken door. Het land vult zich erg snel met water. In het commandocentrum kunnen ze niet anders dan machteloos toekijken. In Rotterdam wil violist Stein uit het leven stappen omdat hij de eenzaamheid zonder zijn vrouw niet meer aankan. Hij gaat in bad zitten met een scheermesje om zijn polsen door te snijden. Net voordat hij dit wil doen gaat de deurbel echter. Een klein meisje, Kimmy, staat in de ondergelopen straten van Rotterdam en vraagt of ze naar binnen mag. De oude violist neemt haar verbouwereerd mee naar boven omdat hij inziet dat hij haar daar niet kan laten staan. Bij Ronnie in de isoleercel loopt intussen ook het water binnen.

In Oostende is de verjaardag van Femke aangebroken. Manu, een vriend van de familie, is er ook bij. De twee kinderen van Sonja willen absoluut gaan buiten spelen. Zij wil dit liever niet, maar op aandringen van Manu en de Bomma geeft ze toe. Opeens hoort Manu een enorme golf aankomen op het huisje en roept de kinderen naar binnen. Femke luistert echter niet en wil het bootje nog nemen dat haar vader haar gegeven had voor haar verjaardag. Ze wordt tot groot afgrijzen van iedereen meegesleurd door het opkomende water.

Aflevering 2

Nu de dijken zijn gebroken, komen de kuststreken van België en Nederland snel onder water te staan. De snelwegen in de Randstad zijn hopeloos verstopt door de ongecoördineerde vluchtelingenstroom. De auto van de familie Wienesse raakt vast in een weiland dat 6 meter onder het NAP ligt en snel zal overstromen. Tijdens hun vlucht raakt de familie verspreid: Marion en dochter Naomi raken gescheiden van Robert en dochter Britt. Als het weiland aan het onderlopen is, bemerken Marion en Naomi een bootje dat vluchtelingen aan boord heeft en ze slagen erin om aan boord te gaan. Als ze vervolgens Robert en Britt in het oog hebben, zeggen ze tegen de bestuurder om hen ook mee te nemen. Maar het bootje is overvol en er is dus geen plaats meer.

In de commandocentrale in Den Haag kijken minister-president Kreuger en de anderen machteloos toe hoe de ramp zich in een razend tempo voltrekt. Kreuger beklaagt zich enorm dat hij niet vroeger een waarschuwing heeft uitgezonden. Op aanraden van zijn ministers houdt hij een toespraak naar aanleiding van de watersnood.

In Oostende proberen Manu en het gezin Van Daele het water uit hun huis te houden, maar de kracht van het water is veel te groot en al snel vult het gelijkvloers zich met water. Manu slaagt er nog snel in om proviand naar de eerste verdieping te brengen, waar het gezin zich heeft weten te verschansen. Sonja is nog altijd radeloos door wat er met Femke is gebeurd en wil haar onmiddellijk gaan zoeken. De Bomma kan dit uit haar hoofd praten: een zoektocht in de nog altijd voortrazende storm is zelfmoord en ze moet ook aan haar zoon Kevin denken. Sonja slaagt er wel in een bericht door te spelen naar de gevangenis van Rotterdam om zo Ronnie te verwittigen dat er iets met Femke is gebeurd.

In Rotterdam realiseert violist Stein zich dat Kimmy en hijzelf nog een tijd bij elkaar zullen moeten blijven. Door gebrek aan eten gaan ze bij zijn buren kijken om te zien of daar geen eten te vinden is. De buren blijken niet thuis te zijn en Stein slaagt erin om Kimmy te vermaken door pannenkoeken voor haar te bakken.

In de Rotterdamse gevangenis loopt het water ook reeds naar binnen. Als de gevangenen te horen krijgen dat ze hun cel, waar het water ondertussen begint te stijgen, moeten verlaten om in het hogere gedeelte een cel met andere gedetineerden te delen, komen ze in opstand en worden de bewakers in het nauw gedreven. Samir realiseert zich ineens dat Ronnie nog in de isoleercel zit, waar het water ondertussen al manshoog staat. Ondanks de dreiging van de gedetineerden gaat Samir toch naar beneden en slaagt er ternauwernood in Ronnie te bevrijden. Terug boven merkt hij dat zijn medebewakers allemaal op de vlucht zijn geslagen, waardoor hij als enige bewaker overblijft. De gevangenen komen op het dak van de gevangenis en zien dat heel Rotterdam blank staat.

Aflevering 3

De storm is gaan liggen en de toestand is gestabiliseerd. In Nederland zijn er al 25.000 doden geteld en meer dan 100.000 mensen zijn vermist. Het bootje waar Marion en Naomi in zaten komt zonder benzine terecht, maar heeft wel droog land bereikt en de inzittenden komen aan bij een tijdelijke noodopvangplaats. Marion en Naomi komen terecht bij Willem Wienesse, de broer van Robert. Ze willen een jerrycan benzine meenemen om het bootje bij te vullen en zo verder naar Robert en Britt te zoeken. Terug op de plaats van het bootje blijkt het echter reeds weg te zijn. Marion slaagt er wel in contact te maken met Robert. Die zit samen met Britt vast op een ondergelopen hoogspanningsmast.

Kreuger en zijn gevolg worden naar Apeldoorn geëvacueerd, omdat de commandocentrale in Den Haag onvoldoende faciliteiten biedt voor een langdurig verblijf. Vanuit de helikopter zien ze de ravage die de storm en de overstroming hebben veroorzaakt. Kreuger wil de mensen een hart onder de riem steken door een noodopvangplaats te bezoeken. Hij moet echter halsoverkop weggeleid worden wanneer hij wordt aangevallen door gevluchte inwoners van de ondergelopen steden, die hem verwijten verkeerd te hebben gereageerd op de ramp.

In Oostende bemerkt Sonja vlak naast hun blank staande huis een opblaasboot; samen met Manu vaart ze er naar de binnenstad mee om medicijnen voor de Bomma, alsook eten te zoeken. Als de avond valt, is het echter te laat om terug naar hun huis te roeien en ze besluiten te overnachten in de Koninklijke Gaanderijen aan de Oostendse dijk. Ze bemerken echter plunderaars en besluiten om zich in een kamer verder weg te verstoppen. De volgende dag wordt Sonja wakker door een overvliegende Seaking en Sonja en Manu slagen erin de aandacht te trekken.

In Rotterdam bemerken Stein en Kimmy dat er geen drinkwater meer is en ze besluiten om een spandoek te maken, in de hoop dat iemand hen zal kunnen evacueren. In de gevangenis besluiten de gedetineerden een vlot te maken om uit de gevangenis te geraken. Ze zijn van plan om Samir achter te laten, en na een heftige ruzie tussen Ronnie en gevangene Stanley wordt ook Ronnie aan zijn lot overgelaten. Samir vindt ondertussen het bericht van Sonja en speelt dit aan Ronnie door. Ronnie wil 's nachts het vlot nemen, maar Stanley betrapt hem en gaat op de vuist. Als hij op het punt staat Ronnie te vermoorden, wordt hij door Samir neergeslagen. Samir krijgt het voor elkaar om als tegenprestatie mee op het vlot te gaan. Uiteindelijk peddelen Ronnie en Samir door het centrum van Rotterdam, waar het water ondertussen metershoog staat.

Aflevering 4

Kreuger en minister Wolbers reizen af naar Brussel voor overleg met de Belgische premier Verbeke m.b.t. de verdeling van 200 miljard € noodhulp die Verbeke bij de Europese Unie heeft los gekregen. Wanneer Verbeke een herverdeling van industrie tussen België en Nederland voorstelt, waarbij de haven van Rotterdam op termijn zal worden opgeofferd, is Kreuger hier fel tegen gekant. Het alternatief is echter een mogelijk failliet van de Nederlandse economie. De stress die door dit dilemma wordt veroorzaakt, doet Kreuger ineenzakken vanwege een te hoge bloeddruk en hartproblemen.

In West-Vlaanderen zijn ondertussen reeds 18.000 lichamen geborgen. In Oostende worden Sonja, Manu, Kevin en de Bomma gered en naar een kerk in Tielt gebracht die als noodopvangplaats is ingericht. Sonja vertrekt samen met de Bomma naar Gent, waar veel doden en gewonden naartoe zijn gebracht, om haar zoektocht naar Femke voort te zetten. Uiteindelijk komen ze terecht in het mortuarium, waar hun grootste vrees wordt bewaarheid: Femke heeft het niet overleefd.

In Rotterdam peddelen Ronnie en Samir verder door het stadscentrum, wanneer ze Kimmy, Stein en een andere vrouw tegenkomen. Ronnie wil onmiddellijk naar zijn gezin toe en is eerst niet geneigd om ze mee te nemen; Samir wil echter zijn pistool, dat hij uit de gevangenis heeft meegenomen, als drukmiddel gebruiken en Ronnie bindt in. Wanneer Kimmy een kat in een boom ziet en haar wil redden, valt ze van het vlot en verwondt haar been. De wond raakt ontstoken en Kimmy wordt ziek. Ronnie en Samir peddelen naar een ondergelopen appartementsblok om dekens en medicijnen te zoeken. Met het pistool van Samir gaat Ronnie eerst op verkenning. Na het horen van een schot gaat ook Samir naar binnen; hij ziet dat Ronnie een hond heeft doodgeschoten omdat hij hem zou hebben aangevallen. Beiden vinden uiteindelijk dekens en medicijnen bij andere overlevenden. Na een tijd wordt het vlot door een rondvarende politieboot gevonden. De inzittenden verzwijgen het feit dat Ronnie een gedetineerde is en allen worden ze aan land gebracht.

Marion en Robert Wienesse maken ondertussen weer veel ruzie. Robert verwijt Marion dat ze hem en Britt heeft achtergelaten terwijl zij en Naomi op het bootje zaten; Marion neemt het Robert ondertussen kwalijk dat het juist zijn schuld dat ze überhaupt gescheiden van elkaar waren geraakt. Deze ruzies en het trauma dat ze bij de overstroming heeft meegemaakt, wordt Britt uiteindelijk te veel en stort in. Maar er is nog slecht nieuws: door het feit dat de verzekering de schade aan Roberts zaak door een natuurramp van dergelijke grote omvang niet dekt, zit het gezin financieel volledig aan de grond.

Aflevering 5

Nu minister-president Kreuger in het ziekenhuis ligt, onderhandelt minister Wolbers in zijn plaats met premier Verbeke in Apeldoorn; in tegenstelling tot Kreuger is zij eerder wel een voorstander van Verbekes voorstel. Wanneer hij op tv ziet dat het voorstel is aangenomen (waarbij in ruil Schiphol zal worden uitgebreid ten koste van een deel van de Randstad), is Kreuger razend. Hij ontslaat zichzelf uit het ziekenhuis en reist samen met zijn vrouw terug naar Apeldoorn.

Na aan land te zijn gebracht, gaat Samir op zoek naar zijn familie, die vastzit in een ondergelopen appartementsblok in Nieuwegein. Als hij daar is aangekomen, krijgt hij van plaatselijke militairen die de stad bewaken, te horen dat in het betreffende appartementsblok een enorme gasontploffing heeft plaatsgevonden. Als hij van een toegelopen neef ook nog eens te horen krijgt dat zijn familie de ontploffing niet heeft overleefd, stort zijn wereld in.

Ronnie is er ondertussen in geslaagd om zich in Tielt te herenigen met de rest van zijn gezin. Hij wil met Sonja en Kevin vluchten en opnieuw beginnen, aangezien hij een voortvluchtige gedetineerde is en niet terug de gevangenis in wil. Manu en de Bomma zijn tegen het plan; Manu probeert Sonja zelfs om te praten door zijn liefde voor haar te verklaren. Wanneer echter de politie arriveert om Ronnie terug in te rekenen, moet hij vluchten.

Tussen Robert en Marion Wienesse staat de barometer nog steeds op onweer. Robert bekent dat hij een buitenechtelijke affaire heeft gehad. Na een heftige ruzie, waarbij Madelief het verwende en verwaande gedrag van vooral Marion en Naomi op de korrel neemt, besluit Marion met het gezin uit de boerderij te vertrekken. Na een zoveelste daad van verwend gedrag van Naomi, heeft Robert het gehad en wil hij haar doen beseffen dat ze een harde tijd tegemoet zullen gaan nu ze niets meer hebben.

Stein en Kimmy zijn ondertussen in een noodopvangplaats terechtgekomen. Kimmy wil dat Stein tegenover de hulpverleners verklaart dat hij haar opa is: ze is bang dat ze in een weeshuis terecht komt omdat van haar moeder officieel niets is vernomen. Stein wil proberen om een hoeder voor Kimmy te worden, maar laat het idee vallen wanneer hij te horen krijgt dat een dergelijke procedure jaren zal aanslepen. Tot haar woede krijgt Kimmy te horen dat ze op een vrachtwagen richting een internaat wordt gezet. Wanneer de vrachtwagen echter getankt heeft en terug begint te rijden kan ze van de vrachtwagen springen en wegrennen.

Aflevering 6

Ronnie is aan de politie ontsnapt, dewelke door de Bomma werd getipt. Hij plant een nieuw plan door met zijn vrouw en zoon te vluchten naar Spanje. Sonja gaat initieel akkoord totdat blijkt dat Ronnie een wagen heeft gestolen om naar Spanje te rijden. Sonja bekent dat ze niet meer wil vluchten en wil dat haar man zich aangeeft bij de politie om zijn straf uit te zitten. Daarop verlaat ze met Kevin haar man. Het verdere lot van de familie is niet geweten.

Stein vraagt de medische ploeg of hij euthanasie kan laten plegen, maar dan verneemt hij via de televisie dat Kimmy's moeder nog leeft. Wanneer hij achterhaalt dat Kimmy nooit in het internaat is aangekomen, start hij een zoektocht en vindt hij Kimmy in een andere opvangplaats. Hij herenigt moeder en dochter en beseft dan dat zijn leven nog wel waarde heeft en hij nog van alles kan doen.

Robert en zijn familie verblijven nog steeds in een opvangkamp. Naomi leert daar enkele leeftijdsgenoten kennen en besluit om met hen te verhuizen naar Duitsland. Hoewel haar ouders initieel tegen dit plan zijn, laten ze haar gaan. Britt wil terugkeren naar de boerderij. Marion offert zich uiteindelijk op en wil dat haar man en Britt effectief terugkeren. Robert beseft dat hij toch nog van zijn vrouw houdt en blijft bij haar waardoor enkel Britt naar de boerderij gaat.

Samir is ontzet wanneer blijkt dat zijn vrouw en kinderen dood zijn. Daarbij komt dat de lichamen omwille van een wet niet naar Turkije kunnen worden overgebracht, hoewel Samir een verzekering had dewelke dit bekostigt. Op aanraden van zijn neef, die wil dat Samir een fikse schadevergoeding van Nederland krijgt, schrijft hij een brief naar Kreuger die hem, eerder onverwacht, een bezoek brengt. Samir wil Kreuger doodschieten, maar vergeeft hem in laatste instantie.

Hoewel er een akkoord is met België dat Schiphol wordt uitgebreid en de haven van Rotterdam wordt overgenomen door België, start Kreuger op eigen initiatief een plan om de getroffen gebieden in Nederland gedeeltelijk met enkele meters zand op te hopen. Wolbers is tegen dit plan en de regering dreigt om te vallen. Uiteindelijk krijgt het plan van Kreuger een nipte meerderheid en starten de werken. Ook wordt Kreuger herverkozen als Nederlands minister-president.

Q: Qt - Problems with Breakpoints in dynamic library Unfortunately, my breakpoints in the dlls do not work reliably. A breakpoint in a function of the class, which is provided as a dll, is recognized without problems. However, if I have a breakpoint in the base class of this dll, this unfortunately does not work.
If the function is overwritten and the function of the base class is called there, then the breakpoint, which is in the dll class, is not skipped.
So all functions which are not called directly in the dll class but out of it and are in another class will be ignored by the debugger.

high level of sporting activity.
The patella tendon inserts at the tibial tuberosity and through overuse can tug away at the bone causing inflammation. It is seen more often in children involved with running and jumping activities which put a much greater strain on the patella tendon. With repeated trauma new bone grows back during the healing which causes a bony lump which is often felt at the tibial tuberosity. It mainly affects boys aged 10 to 15 years old and should clear up when they stop growing and the tendons become stronger, however, it can occasionally persist into adulthood.
INTERESTING INFO – Why is it called Osgood Schlatters disease?
It was named after two physicians in 1903, Dr. Robert Osgood and Dr. Carl Schlatter. These Doctors defined the disease.
Pain at the tibial tuberosity (or bony bit at the top of the shin) just below the knee.
The tibial tuberosity may become swollen or inflamed and may even become more prominent than the other side.
Tenderness and pain is worse during and after exercise.
Pain when contracting the quadriceps against resistance or when contracting the muscles with the leg straight.
occurs in children around puberty.
Exotosis causing increased prominence of tibial tuberosity.
Symptoms ease with rest, increase with activity.
Increased pain over the tibial tuberosity with resisted knee extension.
Rest. This injury needs rest if it is to heal properly. Only do as much exercise as it will allow without causing pain. Weight bearing exercise will make it worse. Keep your sessions few and high quality rather than train every day.
Apply ice or cold therapy to the knee regularly throughout the day to reduce pain and inflammation and particularly following activity or sport. Ice should be applied at least three times a day for 10 to 15 minutes. Ice massage with an ice cube is a convenient way to apply cold therapy to a specific area such as the patella tendon.
Gently stretch the quad muscles if comfortable to do so.
Use a knee support or knee strap to help reduce the tension on the knee.
Make a correct diagnosis to confirm the existance of Osgood Schlatters disease and make sure it is not anything else causing the pain.
Use sports massage techniques on the quads and patella tendon.
Prescribe an exercise programme that will allow you to do as much exercise as possible and get the best results from your training.
Will strengthening exercises help? No, not really – Rehabilitation is not really what you need with this one but rest is! However a good trainer or coach should be able to manage your training to get the best results from what you are able to do. This might mean concentrating more on technique or other aspects of your sport or game to produce improvements rather than physical conditioning. This is an unfortunate injury that you will grow out of as long as you don't over do it.
What type of knee support might help?
There are a number of different supports and braces on the market that may help with Osgood Schlatters disease.
A simple neoprene support will provide compression and support to the knee in general and retain the bodies natural heat. A warm tendon will work much better than a cold one.
A patella tendon strap wraps around just below the knee, to put direct pressure on the patella tendon to help reduce the strain on the tibial tuberosity.


Fans of plant-based foods have their mouths set for coconut cream pie (without the cream) as Kanu Café opens to the public on Sunday, Sept. 23.
The restaurant, with American plant-based chef Matthew Kenney at the helm, avoids animal products. The concept comes to Canada via Sherry Schluessel, the Calgary-based developer who owns ProCura Real Estate Services along with her husband, George Schluessel. The restaurant is in the Mayfair (owned by ProCura) at 10823 Jasper Ave., in the former Monument café.
Kanu is one of 15 plant-based restaurants Kenney has opened worldwide. The menu will feature an assortment of dishes focused on refined and minimally processed plant-based cuisine, cold-pressed juices and smoothies, as well as a full wine and cocktail menu.
All feature recipes are crafted by Kenney, who will be in Edmonton for the opening weekend. Local chef Justin O'Reilly will be responsible for creating Kenney's vision in Edmonton on a day-to-day basis at the café.
Here is a link to a story that I wrote about Kenney and Kanu that ran in the Journal in June. And here is another story I wrote about vegan dining options in Edmonton that ran in July.
Kenney will attend the private, grand opening for Kanu Café on Friday, Sept. 21 and Saturday, Sept. 22. The chef and culinary educator will also host a public meet-and-greet, cookbook signing, and talk about wellness and plant-based cuisine at Kanu Café on Sunday, Sept. 23. Members of the public will be able to register for the event starting Wednesday at eventbrite.ca.


A Slovak developer and investor has snapped up a property on London's South Bank and revealed plans to turn it into a residential, office, shopping and cultural space worth £400 million.
The group, J&T Real Estate, has formed a joint venture with Sons & Co for its first foray into the London market.
The redevelopment will feature three towers, two residential buildings of 15 and 19 storeys and one commercial building with 10 storeys, designed by Squire & Partners, with retail units on the ground floor.
The cultural space is expected to be used by the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
The property is located at 185 Park Street near to the Millennium Bridge and Tate Modern.
In total, there will be 163 flats, around 8,100 square metres of offices, 920 square metres of shopping space and 1,550 square metres of cultural space.
"The project is an important milestone both for J&T Real Estate and Sons & Co. It is also important for us that we enter the British developer market with this imposing project," said Peter Korbacka, founder and chairman of the board of J&T Real Estate.
He added that the project is in a location with enormous potential and that the development "promises to be one of prime central London's most anticipated projects".
Alex Stocker, chief executive of Sons & Co, said: "This large, architecturally-inspiring project has international cultural significance and the collaboration combines our knowledge of the London property market with J&T Real Estate's expertise of investing in major, mixed-use development projects in high-profile European locations.
The project, which will include three high-rise buildings in total, will see preparatory work start in the third quarter of 2018, with construction to follow in the first quarter of 2019. The developers are targeting a completion date of 2022.
As part of the building permit agreement, the Slovak developer will build a retirement home in Southwark Park Road with 57 flats for residents of the borough. It will be handed to the United St Saviour's charity after completion.
London's South Bank has seen a plethora of development activity over the last decade, which has transformed the area's skyline.
They include the 1920s transatlantic inspired lines of Mondrian London at Sea Containers; the Scandinavian glass vessel that will be the new 52-storey One Blackfriars, informally known as The Vase; and the redevelopment of the iconic 5.25-acre Shell Centre site, which is now known as Southbank Place.
The area will also become home to the world's largest co-working space when WeWork completes its 280,000 sq ft flexible office development near Waterloo, called Two Southbank Place.
DealMakerz thinks the latest news, from Slovak developer J&T Real Estate, is another positive sign for London's real estate market in a post-Brexit world.
Foreign investors haven't been put off by the political upheaval, but instead think the capital still offers great growth opportunities.

The Residential Project is the final and exclusive component of the Gold Award. It is designed to be an immersive experience for participants in an environment they're not used to. It is an opportunity to step outside their comfort zone and really get to know a new place.
It will generally focus on a single activity, such as construction work in disadvantaged communities or delivering awareness raising presentations on social issues. The Residential Project takes place for five days and four nights, so it is the longest single-activity of the Award, and is often done in a group.
The expenses of doing the Residential Project, however, can hinder the ability of participants to undertake the project they believe will have the greatest impact on the community they would visit and on themselves as individuals. Many of our participants come from marginalised backgrounds and therefore while they may dream big, they may not have the resources to make those dreams a reality. That is why we have designed a Residential Project Sponsorship Package.
This package includes transport to and from the local community, basic accommodation while there, and food for the duration of the project, for an average medium distance Residential Project. The planning and logistics of the Residential Project is organised by the participants, and any additional costs for the their project (e.g. construction materials) they must fund-raise for as part of the experience of their Residential Project.
The Residential Project Sponsorship Package costs Rs. 30,000 (US$300) and covers the costs of 8 participants from one marginalised school.
If you would like to sponsor the Residential Project of a marginalised school, please contact us on doeianepal@gmail.com or +977 (1) 4415653.

STUDY: Young People More Likely To Use Social Media in Developing Countries
Pew found that 72 percent of users surveyed said they use social media to discuss movies and music; 56 percent talked about sports; 37 percent about products; 34 percent about politics and only 30 percent said they use Facebook or Twitter to discuss religion.
By Justin Lafferty
A new Pew Research Center study details the internet and social media usage in developing nations, showing that social media use is more popular among young people.
Among respondents, 93 percent of internet users in the Philippines said they used social media, with Kenya coming in second at 88 percent:
Among people in emerging and developing nations who have access to the internet, nearly two-thirds (a median of 66 percent) access it daily. And among internet users in those countries, a median of 82 percent use social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.

The English Court has very wide ranging powers when it comes to the question of costs of proceedings. Although, in English litigation, the usual rule is that the losing party pays a proportion of the winning party's legal costs, in certain circumstances, the Courts may order a person who was not a party to the proceedings to pay the costs of the unsuccessful party.
Since this power to make a costs order against a non-party was first recognised by the House of Lords in 1986, the Courts have repeatedly emphasised the exceptional nature of this remedy and shown great caution when granting such orders. However, in recent years the Courts have shown greater willingness to exercise their discretion when considering whether in all the circumstances of any particular case it is just to make the order.
• If the non-party however not simply funds the litigation, but substantially also controls or stands to benefit in some way (whether on behalf of the Claimant, Defendant or Appellant), justice will ordinarily require that that party pays the costs, if it is unsuccessful.
• It would be an extraordinary order for the payment of costs to be made against a non-party where, the applicant had a cause of action against the non-party and could have joined him as a party to the original proceedings, but has not done so. Even if the applicant is unable to provide a good reason for not joining the non-party in such circumstances, he should inform the non-party of his intention potentially to apply for a costs order against him at the earliest possible opportunity. This is an important point, which recently was held to be particularly relevant by the Commercial Court when refusing to make a costs order against a non-party.
• There is no need for the applicant to establish impropriety in the conduct of the litigation on the part of the non-party for an order to be made. Although, impropriety in pursuit of speculative litigation may assist the Court in exercising its discretion and granting the order, it is not a pre-requisite. Nonetheless, the conduct of all the parties is generally a factor to be taken into account by the Court on the question of costs.
The above is by no means meant to be a comprehensive checklist of factors, which the Court may take into account before deciding whether to exercise its discretion. Indeed, the Courts themselves have previously emphasised that the reported cases are not to be treated as such and that the Court's decision will always depend on consideration of the actual circumstances of each case.
• Professional funders who provide funding or other support in the litigation, which ultimately fails, for some kind of monetary gain will usually be liable for the winning parties' costs, but only to the extent of the funding provided i.e. if funder provided £1 million pounds, it would usually be required to contribute the same amount to the other side's costs. However, if the funding arrangement is found to be champertous because for example the funders exercised control over litigation or was to recover disproportionate amounts, the funder may be ordered to pay all of the costs.
• Company directors and shareholders may be ordered to pay the costs of the unsuccessful company litigant in circumstances where they were not only in control of the proceedings, but also helped to fund and promote the proceedings by an insolvent company solely or substantially for their own financial benefit. In such cases, the applicant will need to show that the director and/or shareholder is the "real party in very important and critical respects" conducting the litigation by an impecunious company and standing to substantially benefit from it.
• Solicitors and other professional advisers and representatives may also find themselves subject to a non-party costs order in circumstances where the professional adviser or a solicitor's conduct indicates that he is effectively the "real party" running the litigation with a view to potentially attaining a financial or other benefit over and above for example the usual benefit a solicitor would expect to receive under a "no win no fee" arrangement with an impoverished client unable to pay the costs, if unsuccessful.
• Insurers, whose defence of the proceedings fails, they having previously decided to defend and subsequently take control and fund proceedings exclusively to protect their own interests, will usually be ordered to pay the costs.
In summary, careful consideration needs to be given to any situation in which there is a suggestion that a third party is involved in a litigation by either funding or/and otherwise controlling its course with a view to potentially benefiting from its outcome, as one may ultimately be faced with a non-party costs order in such circumstances.

St. HOPE Puts Data To The Test, And Aces It
Sasha Banks-LouieBrand Contributor
Storytelling and expertise from marketers
| Paid Program
After a difficult past, the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento has been undergoing a revitalization. One longtime force in this renewal has been a nonprofit, St. HOPE, that has spent 30 years energizing public education and economic development aimed at helping resident families thrive.
St. HOPE, founded in 1989 by Kevin Johnson, an Oak Park native, former NBA player, and later two-term mayor of Sacramento, started as an after-school program to help Sacramento High School (SHS) students improve their grades and prepare for college. In 2003, despite a decade-long effort, only three out of every ten SHS students were reading at grade level, and the school was about to be sanctioned by the state of California and targeted for closure. So St. HOPE transitioned it to an independent public charter school.
St. HOPE now operates six charter schools and serves 1,500 students from K-12.

With the help of federal and state grants, St. HOPE now operates six charter schools and serves 1,500 students from K-12. In 2017, St. HOPE reported that 96% of SHS seniors were accepted into four-year colleges. Last year, SHS ranked sixth among 15 Sacramento high schools, based on data from the California Department of Education.
Duality of Success
One of the things that makes St. HOPE's charter schools different from many public schools is its "to and through college" culture, says Julian Love, chief business officer. "From kindergarteners to seniors, all students go on a college tour at least once a year with their class." And that's not all: St. HOPE's faculty goes the extra mile to address individual student needs. "We specifically recruit teachers who believe in our mission, and are willing to work hard to help our scholars succeed," Love says.
But an impassioned faculty and a "college-going" culture weren't enough for the upstart nonprofit to make a lasting impact.
Shortly after launching its charter school network, St. HOPE started a business development unit, designed to help Sacramento entrepreneurs start new businesses and lift the local economy. "People in the community need jobs," Love says. "Our students' families need jobs."
Its first project was renovating the old Woodruff Hotel into a 23,000-square-foot mixed-use facility, called the 40 Acres Cultural Center. The center currently includes the Old Soul Coffee House, the Guild Theater, 12 upper-floor apartments, and Underground Books, one of an estimated 108 black-owned bookstores in the country, according to the online book database, African American Literature Book Club.
St. HOPE's faculty go the extra mile to address individual student needs.
From its business portfolio, St. HOPE has created more than 5,500 full-time jobs throughout the greater Sacramento area, providing $200 million in wages, and generating more than $21 million in state and local business taxes, according to a 2019 St. HOPE Economic Impact Study.
While the nonprofit has helped increase the high school's graduation rates, college admissions, and employment opportunities for Sacramento residents, it was having a hard time overcoming its own business struggles, such as managing its cash flow and chart of accounts.
Love joined St. HOPE three years ago, when the nonprofit was facing serious financial challenges. A third-party vendor, which the nonprofit hired to manage its finances, "didn't understand our business, and wasn't able to create a realistic budget," Love says. Part of the problem was the complexity of St. HOPE Public School's accounting requirements. Its 200-member faculty and administrative staff each required their own classifications, codes, and general ledger accounts, based on the California School Accounting Manual, published by CDE. "A credentialed math teacher needs her own GL account, so does the office manager, superintendent, finance director, and principal," he says.
The nonprofit also depended on funding from roughly 15 federal and state sources, each of which required its own GL code. "Every agency stipulates its own policies on what we can and can't spend money on," Love says.
If school administrators aren't vigilant about their budgets, and actively managing their financials, they're done, says Love. But St. HOPE's administrators spent most days grinding through six-inch stacks of hand-written purchase orders, time sheets, and payroll documents. "We needed to replace our outdated business processes," he says.
In the spring of 2017, with its new school year fast approaching, St. HOPE implemented Oracle NetSuite in just 78 days.
Today, St. HOPE staffers have digital employee records and can log into the system and submit their timecards, view their paychecks, and update their HR profiles. Purchase orders for school supplies and special-education contractors are also submitted into Oracle NetSuite, where they're automatically routed for approvals and queued for payment.
Love admits the school had multiple unfavorable audit findings in the past. "But last year, we had our first year with zero federal or state audit findings," he says. This meant that St. HOPE was able to prove it had spent all of its state and federal money appropriately. Due to the clean audit and its sound financial position, St. HOPE would be eligible for a $25 million grant from the California Department of Education. "NetSuite helped us build and manage our budgets, provide financial reports, and get through the audit cleanly, which ultimately enabled us to be awarded that grant," Love says.

If you are a follower of Jesus, like me, the cross is not only a past event of history. It is a recurring spiritual experience. That's why I suggest you have visited there lately.
–>> the ever-available spiritual altar on which you can sacrifice to God anything that impedes His will and your holiness.
I am in my 60s and as I look back over my life I can point to several major events that have brought me back to the cross of Jesus.
One was when I faced a crisis of deciding what career path to pursue.
Yet another visit to the cross was when God asked my wife and I to go as missionaries to Kenya.
That's why I am quite sure that you or someone close to you has also been called back to a cross-like experience. Really, this should not surprise us since Jesus said that anyone who wants to be his disciple must take up their cross and follow him.
Hasn't God been showing you these truths? I would love to help you examine your experience in light of these Biblical teachings.
I would love to send these lessons to you. There is no charge; no gimmicks. Just your permission. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.

"We covered the Punnett square, with emphasis on sex-linked inheritance and recombinant plasmids. The student is growing stronger in her understanding of the material. She is overall very dedicated to the class and wants to learn more."
"The student and I talked more about what types of research to do and narrowing down a thesis. We discussed the similarities between Hughes' work and jazz/blues music of the Renaissance, and how music and poetry had a symbiotic relationship. We also discussed the cultural context of the movement, including the search for an African-American cultural identity and the role Hughes, as well as other poets and musicians, played in it and were influenced by it. She is going bring her revised thesis to class for approval/feedback and do more research on the historical context of the Renaissance, other poets who were seminal, and musicians."
"The student had a take home math test to do to tonight which he was able to get done during our session. He is still very far ahead in English . He is studying for 2 tests this week. Science and History. I had him describe the phases of mitosis as prep for his science test."
"The student and I began our session today by going over her math work. She thoroughly understands everything her class is working on, so we moved on to reading/journaling. This week, I decided to incorporate her love of reading into her journaling, as both an added challenge and to make it more enjoyable for her. This was a great success! We alternated reading aloud, and every time we came across a word she didn't know, she would write it down in her journal along with a definition or synonym in her own words. When we had about fifteen minutes left in our session, I instructed her to write a journal entry about whatever she wanted, but she had to use at least four of the new words she had learned. She was quite enthusiastic about it! "
"The student and I worked on his math homework which he was able to complete with little help from me. The worksheet focused on time which he has a nice grasp on. After we finished with that, we began to read a chapter book on basketball, which he enjoyed. It has some harder words in it, but he attacked them with gusto!"

Erspamer firing latest trouble at OWN
Discovery vet Mullin hired on interim basis
By Stuart Levine

FX orders new season of 'Archer'
The dismissal of longtime Oprah Winfrey confidant and OWN exec VP Lisa Erspamer means the cabler still hasn't found its mojo — and corporate owner Discovery might be losing patience.
Erspamer, who had been by Winfrey's side for 18 years but had no network experience, was fired because OWN has fallen hugely short of expectations when it was launched a year ago.
While many thought fans of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" would automatically follow her brand to OWN, that simply hasn't been the case. In May 2011, the exec shuffle began when CEO Christina Norman was let go and replaced by Peter Liguori.
Erspamer's specialty was with her relationships with celebrities, nurtured while she was on "Oprah." She arrived a full year before the network debut and was instrumental in getting reality skeins "The Judds" and "Why Not? With Shania Twain" on the air. Yet, as with most series on OWN, neither one failed to ignite.
Parent company Discovery has ponied up $300 million so far, with little return on its investment, and the Maryland-based conglom may be making personnel decisions with more authority than ever before.
Replacing Erspamer on an interim basis is Discovery vet Rita Mullin, who is senior VP of content strategy for Discovery Fit & Health and will continue in that role. She also played a large part in a handful of TLC hits, including "Jon and Kate Plus 8," and there's hope that she can steady the ship at OWN before the net finds a permanent replacement.
Currently on staff as a consultant is former network chief Susanne Daniels, who previously ran the WB and Lifetime. It's unclear whether Daniels would be interested in taking on greater responsibilities at OWN.
Winfrey, who delegated much of the responsibility when it came to launching OWN, has become more hands-on in recent months and is working with presidents Erik Logan and Sheri Salata to find a winning mix of programs. One of the few bright spots has been "Oprah's Next Chapter," which is off to a healthy start with an average 924,000 viewers tuning in each week.
And there's also docuseries "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's," about the goings-on at a St. Louis restaurant.
Missing the mark, however, is the much higher-profile "The Rosie Show," with Rosie O'Donnell. The talkshow is averaging only 200,000 per episode. Earlier this week, "Rachael Ray" vet Shane Farley was hired to replace Page Hurwitz as exec producer.

1 March 2008 A New Species of Buchia (Bivalvia: Buchiidae) From British Columbia, Canada, With an Analysis of Buchiid Bipolarity

Critical reinvestigation of the bivalve Buchia cf. blanfordiana Jeletzky, 1965 from the Upper Jurassic of western British Columbia indicates that it is morphologically distinct from B. blanfordiana Stoliczka, 1866 of the Indo-Pacific region. We analyzed collections from relatively coeval sections containing multiple buchiid species from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and used ten morphological characters to describe Buchia shell shape and size. We tested for taxonomic differences on left and right valves using a traditional morphometric approach with both linear and angular measurements and Fourier (outline) analyses. Phenetic discrimination revealed considerable overlap in the morphospace, but high classification rates between the two groups when compared with a step-wise discriminant analysis. This study supports the retention of the Indo-Pacific genera Australobuchia Zakharov, 1981 and Malayomaorica Jeletzky, 1963 and confirms that Buchia (=Australobuchia) blanfordiana is restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. Consequently, we propose the new name Buchia columbiana n. sp. for material assigned to Buchia cf. blanfordiana Jeletzky, 1965. Our results have implications for bipolarity and migration of the genus Buchia, supporting previous suggestions that buchiids formerly identified as Buchia from the Southern Hemisphere should be grouped as a separate genus.
