WCCO Belting, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of specialized rubber products.
WCCO thrives on the ability to think beyond the belt. Rubber is our game, and through vertical integration we engineer our products starting at the raw material level in order to ensure a quality product both inside and out.
Then our exclusive TRUhesion™ manufacturing process produces a level of quality that can't be mimicked by any competitor and it is why we are sought after by companies all over the world.
WCCO's engineering capabilities, custom products, and various services are profitable solutions for our customers. If we didn't have a passion for rubber products, we wouldn't have been around for the last sixty years.
Manufacturing rubber belting is our sole focus and we have tailored our processes to ensure we are working as efficiently as possible. Thanks to our experience, we can offer high quality, American-made rubber products at prices comparable to the rest of the market.
To be responsive to the just-in-time production needs of our customers, we manufacture custom products in short-run order quantities. Through non-stop monitoring of our raw material pipeline and substantial control of the manufacturing processes, WCCO is quick to react to customer requests. Our flexibility and adaptability make us a valuable supplier and partner.
How do WCCO's products redefine performance? We don't underestimate the belting basics: rubber and fabric.
Do you know what your belting is made of? You should, because a flawed fabric weave or inaccurate rubber recipe could lead to belt failure in the middle of harvest season. A Belt and all of its components, in conjunction with the defined product specifications, impact the success of your belting operations.
When we talk with customers about belt construction, we begin with the raw materials. Procuring the raw materials from experience vendors that meet our strict quality control requirements gives WCCO fundamental visibility and control over the performance properties of the finished products we manufacture. Belting is our passion, our forte, and if you need high quality rubber products we can provide you with solutions.
Contrary to common believe, the rubber component of a belt does not provide belt strength. it does provide fabric production and friction when required, as well as resistance to abrasion, oil, file, static and electricity. And WCCO sources it's rubber from trusted vendors who put strict focus on quality and consistency.
The most common design flaw WCCO's engineers uncover is that the belt contains superfluous amounts of rubber. A belt with excess rubber will be heavy, costly and often has lower performance properties than a thinner belt that is manufactured with a stronger fabric.
When WCCO starts working with a customer it begins with an investigation into the specifications of the current product the customer is using in order to determine the cause of the product's poor performance. We don't want to just sell you another belt, we perform the necessary research to provide you with a product solution.
Fabric is the most important component of a belt. The structure of the fabric impacts puncture resistance, tensile strength, tear resistance, and hook retention. WCCO sources fabric from only the highest quality fabric manufactures in the world. And since each application has its own unique set of specifications, we pride ourselves on our ability to internally design our own custom fabrics for our rubber products in order to provide you with a strong performance in the field.
Instead of using the market standard spun fabric, WCCO sources high quality filament fabrics for our belt constructions. Filament fibers are long, continuous man-made strands, and spun fibers are composed of short length wool or cotton fibers.
Fibers are twisted together to form the yards, which are then woven together to create the fabric. The continuous, uniform filament yarns, which are similar to the construction of fishing line, are significantly stronger than it's spun counterpart, which is a weaker fabric due to the short, non-uniform length of it's spun fibers which can be compared to the structure of knitting yarn.
WCCO vertically integrated with a rubber calendering company in Arlington, Texas, in 2006 to significantly tighten our level of quality control, ensure more stable pricing, and shorten lead times.
What is calendering? It is the process of applying rubber to rolls of fabric through heat and pressure by means of skim coating or friction coating.
Friction coating is the process of pressing raw rubber into the fabric, not adding to the fabric's original thickness, for fabric reinforcement.
Skim coating is the process of applying a layer of rubber on top of the fabric, which adds to the fabric's original thickness, for fabric protection and increased durability.
The engineers at CSI Calendering, In. work hand-in-hand with our WCCO teams in North Dakota. As a custom product manufacturer, WCCO's short supply chain is very beneficial to our product development process. We have full visibility throughout the design and testing phases and can expedite projects when needed.
Raw fabric is fed into the calender and passes through rubber coated rollers that apply it with a skim or friction coating.
Rubber coated fabric is fed out of the calender. Pictured here is skim coated fabric.
The rubber coated fabric is then rolled with yellow plastic to prevent sticking during transport to WCCO.
Due to WCCO's TRUhesion™ manufacturing process, each of our vulcanization presses, rubber extruders, and numerous other types of equipment within the facility have been custom-built. Our operations and engineering teams internally tailor the equipment to meet the product quality standards our customers require and the operational and process efficiencies we strive to meet ourselves.
TRUhesion™ is WCCO's exclusive one-step vulcanization process that combines raw materials and unique components, such as cleats, through extreme heat and pressure to create ONE belt that holds similar properties throughout.
Inside of the press, the cleats adhere to the belt carcass using the beauty of rubber science and the benefit is increase belt durability due to reduced chance of delamination and cleat adherence.
After manufacturing, our products are given an WCCO Diamond Number for traceability. It allows us to obtain specific manufacturing details of each individual product; this includes the date the product was manufactured and which employee team was responsible for its creation down to the batch of rubber and fabric roll picked before the calendering process.
When our competitors buy raw material on the open market or import product, they lose visibility regarding product quality and consistency. Our ability to track problems back through the calendering process and raw material creation allows us to fully resolve any issues quickly.
WCCO began the ISO certification process back in 1997, and today we are proud to be ISO-9001:2015 certified. Our company's commitment to quality is one reason we are the supplier of choice to businesses located all over the world.
WCCO's product development engineers work to find innovative solutions to customer requests and are always busy dreaming up new rubber products that shape market trends.
We have internal textile engineering capabilities and our engineering team works closely with WCCO's fabric vendors on new fabric designs and holds them to strict quality control standards.
There are also several mechanical and manufacturing engineers on the WCCO team, as well as a manufacturing and process improvement engineer that is dedicated to continuously evaluating our equipment and monitoring our lean manufacturing processes.

"Bachelorette" Believes Swiderski Didn't Cheat
"[It's] made us stronger and it's only made us communicate with each other more."
By Andrew Greiner

"Bachelorette" Jillian Harris and her beau Ed Swiderski are happy and unaffected by rumors.
Jillian Harris doesn't believe the hype about her Lothario-like loverboy Ed Swiderski.
"I am not affected by this at all," Harris said of reports that Swiderski, who proposed to Harris on the finale of "The Bachelorette" was stepping out on her with two former flames. "We really plan on trying to get out of the limelight and trying to get on with our lives."
Last week it was reported that Ed Swiderski carried on relationships with two former gal pals while he was courting Jillian on national television. Text messages lifted from the other women's phones reveal shady intentions.
Lindsey Steffen, one of Swiderski's exes told the Us weekly that Chicago Ed texted her to "bring beer and condoms" over to his place just a few days after proposing to Harris.
Ed, a software consultant, was able to fire off the illicit texts and emails while under the strict scrutiny of reality show taskmasters because they bent the rules for him. Usually contestants have no email or phone access while they're sequestered for the show.
The flap hasn't dampened Harris' excitement about moving to Chicago at the beginning in Chicago. Actually the rumors have helped.
"[It's] made us stronger and it's only made us communicate with each other more," Harris told her hometown newspaper, The Province.

She also said that all's fair in love and reality television.
"I was falling in love with two other guys two days before we got engaged," she told People magazine. "That's a double standard. If he had feelings for these two other girls while he was on the show, that's normal."

If you are up to it I would suggest that you also read the Water Services Act 2007/2013 before making up your mind as to what you want to do.Knowledge is power. When all is said and done, it is your choice, regardless of what the Government or Media would have you believe. I hope this will help to dispel a lot fear people have due to lies, myths and half-truths being put out there by vested interest groups.
Myth 1 - Irish Water now control the supply of water in Ireland.
No, they don't. The Act states that the Government have EXTENDED some of the functions of the Water Services Authorities (Councils) to the Water Metering Authority (Irish Water). It's important to note the word "extended". Notice it does not say the word "replaced". So, unless you consent to enter into a contract with Irish Water, the Water Services Authority will still continue to supply you with YOUR water. Irish Water are a "metering" (billing) company.
Myth 3 – It's now the law, I have to sign up with Irish Water.
No, they can't. In the Water Acts its states that monies can be recovered as a "Simple Contract Debt". Meaning they would have to take you to court. First, they would have to prove that you are their customer, then, that a contract exists, and that you agreed to the price/T&C's, and that you are now simply refusing to pay. So, they will claim, you are in breach of said contract. If they cannot establish that a valid contract exists, the case will never go as far as Court! They would have no legal standing!
So, DO NOT FILL OUT THE "APPLICATION" PACK - No Consent.
Reports are coming in from all over Ireland to say that Irish Water are already reneging on this. People are posting online that they have to pay to get their driveways dug up to fix large leaks, because the issue is on "their property" and therefore not the responsibility of Irish Water!

Lady Mechanika V.2
by M. M. Chen
Pub Date: 10 May 2016 | Archive Date: 18 May 2018
Adam F, Librarian
ARC from Netgalley.
This second Volume of Lady Mechanika continues the story set forth in the first Volume, but adds a motherly aspect to the character through Winifred, grand-daughter of famous explorer, Professor Thomson. Thomson is on an expedition in Africa to find "The Tablet of Destinies", an ancient artifact that will grant the finder access to great secrets and (more than likely) a great weapon. Obviously, what kind of story would it be if we didn't have a villain show up, so you can add kidnapping of 'Fred as inspiration for Thomson to find the Tablet to the list.
The story undergoes a semi-repeating structure: Beat up some bad guys, save 'Fred, find out some info, go to the next place, 'Fred gets abducted, repeat. Sounds like the repetition would get annoying but it does not. When you add in all the wonderful steampunk goodness (i.e. airships, rocketpacks, weaponry, etc), adventures in many different locales (cave, desert, jungle, forest... all on several continents), complex deep characters and the art...
The art of this series is absolutely gorgeous! Joe Benitez has incredible skills that would lend well to any title, but when combined with both MM Chen and Peter Steigerwald, Lady Mechanika excels despite not being released by a major publishing house.
I really look forward to continuing this series, hopefully finding out more about Mechanika's origins soon. Strong recommend.
Mel L, Reviewer
I adore Lady Mechanika's personality, stories and interactions. She's a genuine female character that is strong, capable and not afraid (although having robotic arms might help, lol).
And yet this mini series of 6 comics was not near as good as some of the others.
Normally Mechanika books have some of the best story and dialogue found in comics. However this time around the story felt a bit forced and the dialogue in the last book was painful. I'm not sure what happened as it didn't start out that way and normally his crew writes way better. My 4 star rating is a 3.5 rounded up because the character is so wonderful and I'd definitely still reread this one series in the continuity; but I won't be grabbing it for a quick read when there are other better mini series featuring Mechanika to grab.
As always the art is wonderful! I love the bright colours and look of the Amazonian-like girl near the end and the consistent look of outfits and proportions of people was well done. As with all of Benitez' work this is a treat for your eyes even if you don't read the story.
If this is the weakest story in the recent release of series for Mechanika is Tablet of Destinites; then it really shows how amazing the other series have been or will be. It's still a good read, shorter at 6 comics and a nice enclosed story that you can read without needing to know anything else.
That it was missing a little something in the story and writing for me is possibly because my expectation for Benitez work is higher than the average.
Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
Leticia T, Reviewer
The artwork in this graphic novel is really amazing and the story very entertaining, even if not too original.
Ashley T, Reviewer
This was a really wonderful and lovely series that I wish I could've read the first one for. The story has a great adventurer thrill feel to it that I enjoyed, and it being in a Victorian steampunk setting brought to life endless possibilities and ideas that could be used throughout the story. It was nice having a female lead for once and follow her on her epic adventures. The art style was unique, and the visuals even gave me some ideas for my own stories. I can't wait to try and get my hands on the other books!
Stephanie C, Reviewer
First, thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
I love the illustrations of Lady Mechanika! The artwork is stunning and the styling is fierce! The comic and story itself is fun and action packed but it's lacking in the depth that you had a taste of in Volume 1. I was really hoping to get a sense of Lady M's origins and where the hell is Lewis!? Also, in the first volume she's on a hunt to find her maker but that plot seemed to get dropped entirely without resolution in this one.
With that being said though, I still really enjoyed it and honestly, this would really make a BADASS  Netflix series or movie if the gaps where filled in! I would be in line to watch it without a doubt.
Scott N, Reviewer
Great addition to the Lady Mechanika world. The pages are beautifully drawn and rendered. The steampunk elements of gears and machinery in the background tying the panels together is fantastic. It makes you want to take a second read to look at all the details.
The story was intriguing. Cycling back and forth from the two story lines until the converged. At times I felt that it seemed heavy on exposition in speech bubbles which dominated their respective panels. So much so that the ending felt rushed and almost anti-climactic. But it was a good story.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I found myself wanting to come back to it to continue reading.
Jennifer B, Reviewer
Return to Lady Mechanika
I thought we'd know more about Lady Mechanika's origins, her intriguing past and more about Lewis. Well, looking for her trusty, awesomely sarcastic sidekick was a little like playing Where's Waldo.
Still haven't found him. Alright, so nothing about her past, but we do get an extremely entertaining volume where Indiana Jones and Harry Potter had a baby just before meeting Black Panther after tea with Nazis and a few Arabs. Oh, And Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist screamed at them too.
My point is, there is nothing really new in Lady Mechanika vol. 2, but it is all so very entertaining Enough lollygagging. So the premise centres around two men who have stumbled upon an extremely interesting archeological dig in Africa. Yes it's all very specific. Anyone who has seen a crappy superhero or mythological-based action movie knows it will not end well for our archeologists. Melting faces and getting killed by shaman and such. And what they discover is all very much related to transmutation of gold and - guess what else - souls. doesn't sound familiar at all now does it
Soon the "Geheimpolizei"catch wind of the expedition and are looking for this all-powerful tablet that will give all the answers to an alchemist's wet dreams. Now how does Lady Mechanika fit in? Well she was just sipping tea, kicking ass and taking names in London when the head of the archeological expedition's granddaughter got kidnapped by Germans. The granddaughter is called Winifred, and she's just one of the best characters in the series thus far
"The Rosicrucian is supposedly dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment of man through the arts and sciences."
Alright, so now Lady Mechanika is sipping tea and looking for a kianapped girl. She starts by going to a society of Rosicrucians, who shun her for being female and almost get her kicked out. But she received important, vital information from a man called Jabir. And so, Lady M. goes on an adventure with Jabir (and an on-and-off Winifred, depending on when she's not being kidnapped)
"The tablet of destinies holds the knowledge of the Gods and the secrets of the universe...he who possesses (it) shall rule the world."
I won't spoil much more about the premise, but here are some great tidbits I found in the comic:
Lady Mechanika befriends a group of Kongo female women (after saving one of their little ones from slavers). These women were the warrior women who protected a specific chieftain who, after death, was replaced by a huge dick of a chieftain. So all these lovely ladies decide to go diaspora style and live alone in the Congo while flitting this way and there in upper Africa.
Little and Lady Mechanika
I absolutely love the relationship between Winifred (Fred) and Lady M. Their banter is fantastic and Fred, although mostly boasting the role of maiden in distress, is such a sweet and brave kid. Lady Mechanika seems to abhor any kind of physical contact, except hugs from little kids just wish the damn comic writer would start to reveal why she's like this
"Alchemy is the perfect knowledge of whole nature and art"
The style and action are gorgeous and beautifully inviting as usual. And Lady M's choice of style is still on point.
"Alchemy is about more than just turning lead into gold, lady Mechanika"
This comic is still fun and action packed that is a delight to the senses, but is so lacking in the depth hinted at in the previous volume. We have no hint of Lewis's whereabouts, Lady M's origin or the previous plot which hung by a bit of a thread. However, the subtleties found in this volume are still prevalent and so well done. Kudos to the artist/writer because you are great, dude. I think there's a lot of commentary about what society (especially older societies) did to women, and so I think that the Desert Wraiths and Lady Mechanika provide a lovely but subtle critique of the Victorian era.
akina shows them dae way (add meme)
Last thing: Akina wanted to show Lady M "t'e way." I'm not kidding. She said that. And all I could think of was:
Image result for show da way gif
Ooh! And we finally get a mechanical arm reveal! I won't spoil here. Go read for yourself to see some sexy aluminum.
Lady Mechanika is a hellishly fun, pop-culture and steam fueled comic with just the right balance of action and sappy.
I liked this volume and the artwork is amazing, however I found that I enjoyed the first volume more that this one. Steampunk is definitely my thing and I really enjoy how it is used in this series. I just don't feel like this one is as strong as the first.
Safiyya A, Reviewer
Murder, mystery, intrigue and a kick-ass heroine, this was an adventurous tale with high-stakes. It dealt briefly on Lady Mechanika's journey to self-discovery and being different, while also touching on topics like sexism, morality and prejudice. Woven in with fantasy, ancient artifacts and girl-power, this is one steampunk story chock-full of strange ingredients!
And the illustrations? Exquisitely detailed! I cannot IMAGINE just how much work must have gone into creating this piece of art.
My only complaint is the portrayal of all adult females as voluptuous beauties. Even the old lady had seemingly pert chests. And why would an independent woman like Mechanika wear corsets? It's impractical and uncomfortable, especially for someone who fights enemies on a regular basis. Fan-service? And do I have a dirty mind? Because I'm pretty sure I saw the outline of her *ehm* in one frame. I mean, was that necessary??
Either way, reading Vol.2 has made me want to check out the other ones! Also, this volume reminds me of Lara Croft.
P.S. Just saw that they have coloring books for this! What?!
Victoria S, Librarian
Enjoyable series with beautiful art. As with many graphic novels the story takes you in different directions; however, it was still a wonderfully written and very beautifully drawn. I love that it is part of steampunk world. My only downside to this is that I felt lost. I have read the other installments to this title but it felt like I missed something (which according to the internet I did not). Overall, still a wonderful piece of art.
Asha H, Reviewer
A gorgeous steampunk action story with beautiful art and a whole lot of derring-do!
I have not read Volume 1 of Lady Mechanika, but the story of Volume 2 is easy to follow, and the characters are well-written and lively, drawing you in from the start. I think this could absolutely be read as a stand-alone, but I am going to track down the first book for more of this beauty! This volume focuses on a search for the lost city of Enki, and it's very cool to see the archaelogists, linguists and other academics at work - this may well be a fantastical history, but it tries to make things seem realistic. There's a real feel of Indiana Jones here.
The detailing is absolutely gorgeous. Where other graphic novels may simply sketch in a background, preferring to focus on action, every page of Lady Mechanika has sumptuous detailing, from carved picture frames to richly textured fur to tiny cogs in between the frames. Some of Lady Mechanika's poses are a little too much like fan-service for me, but I do appreciate the juxtaposition of this superhero trope with the historical setting!
I really enjoyed the character of Winifred, the ass-kicking (literally) little girl with the most enormous goggle-glasses. Lady Mechanika's friendship with her is adorable - she treats her like a small adult, and it's very humanising for what could otherwise be a cold character.
This is a graphic novel in the finest tradition of early adventure stories - very very enjoyable!
I love steampunk graphic novels. Details and artwork are amazing. Story is well written. Lady Mechanika is amazing.
I love this series. The story is so interesting and the art is gorgeous. This is what all steampunk comics should aspire to be.
As I loved the first, I was excited to read this volume. I'm happy to report this one delivers the same entertainment and beautiful artwork as the first! I loved the story, and as always enjoyed the characters in this one!
Alina G, Reviewer
I've read the previous volume, and the graphics continues to amaze me. It must be the best I've met in any comics, or it just suits perfectly my tastes in this matter: the attention to details, the beautiful curves, just the right mix of époque and steampunk, even the gear contours. Great and interesting story - I liked it even better than the first Mechanika storyline.
Lauren B, Reviewer
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishing for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I love this book as much as I loved the first volume! The art is fantastic as always, and the story line is interesting, this time less focused on the magical aspects and more on the political search for alchemy with a cool mechanical bird and steampunk twist + Lizards!  I love the little "quotes" at the beginning of each chapter especially and I think they always add something to the story line. Overall this book was just as fun as the first graphic novel in this series and I can't wait to read the rest.
Annie L, Librarian
I thought it a very well-developed world, but a lot happened, so I'm looking forward to reading the third for further explanation.
Heena R, Reviewer
It was a nice sequel to the first part and I enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for allowing me to read and review this book. I am just not interested in this book anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Prepare for scares with 'The Turning' movie trailer
By Silas Lesnick | Oct 9, 2019
Although this one won't quite be ready for Halloween, Universal Pictures is today offering a first look at their upcoming 2020 horror thriller, The Turning. A trailer has just been released and you can check it out in the player below!
For more than 100 years, a deeply haunting tale has been passed down to terrify audiences. The Turning takes us to a mysterious estate in the Maine countryside, where newly appointed nanny Kate is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora and Miles. Quickly though, she discovers that both the children and the house are harboring dark secrets and things may not be as they appear.
Inspired by Henry James's landmark novel, the haunted house thriller is directed by Floria Sigismondi (The Runaways, The Handmaid's Tale) and stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, The Martian), Finn Wolfhard (It, Stranger Things), newcomer Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project) and Joely Richardson (Red Sparrow, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).
From writers Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes (The Conjuring), The Turning is produced by Scott Bernstein (Straight Outta Compton, Ride Along 2) and Roy Lee (It, The Lego Movie). Look for it on the big screen beginning January 24.


In the case of Pieces of Why, there were three primary sources of inspiration, all of which had something in common: gun related violence. It might seem strange to think that the driving forces behind a book for children – especially young children – would be so harsh. How and why does one attempt to translate the toughest realities of our world to children?
The answer to "how", for me, is to offer as much hope as hardship, and as much beauty as brutal honesty. What else can we offer our children in the face of violence, other than the same comforts we offer ourselves? The hope that in the end, goodness will outweigh injustice. The desire to change our world for the better, and the belief that change is possible.
One of the most powerful functions of fiction is to allow us to imagine the futures we want and those that we don't want, and to empower our society to make decisions accordingly. To deny the existence of gun related violence to kids who live with the aftermath does nothing, but to teach them that they can overcome this legacy and perhaps create a different future offers hope that another path is possible.
To those who might question the need for children's books that deal with gun related violence, I would say this: If we're not prepared to protect our children with laws to keep them safe, then we must be prepared to empower them with tools to cope with violence.
This is my belief as well, and I want young readers to know that what's happening in America right now in terms of gun related violence isn't normal. It isn't right. And it isn't inevitable. This is a hard subject to acknowledge. The temptation to remain silent in the name of shielding our kids is a strong one. But in a world where almost every public place has a big screen television, and children are plugged into the media at younger and younger ages, the choice to remain silent is not always ours. And with nearly 12,000 Americans killed with guns every year, a rate 20 times higher than other developed countries (Everytown for Gun Safety), the circle of connection is narrowing.
Gun related violence is wide spread, often random, and pervasive. We KNOW this. We see the news reports. We read the statistics. But we often fail to acknowledge that the ripple effects spread far wider than we'd like. It isn't just the people in the direct line of fire who are affected. It's every one of us. And it isn't enough to hold our breath and thank God that it wasn't our child, our loved one, our family member (at least not this time). We must acknowledge that every instance of violence does harm to us all – mental, spiritual, and emotional harm.
We must create safe spaces for kids to talk about their fears, to discuss what's happening in the world around them, and we must provide models of people who may not have all the answers but are doing their utmost to make the world a safer place for the next generation. My wish is this: may these people be, not just fictional characters, but every single person in a child's life. Every parent, teacher, law maker, neighbor, friend … all of us working as hard as we know how until we've changed our world. Their world.
May these people be you and me.

Q: How to verify email address in AWS SES I have bought a domain,then I have created domain identity in SES and verified it successfully, now comes the email part. I have created email address in identity management that is user@example.com (assume that example.com is my domain), documentation states that I need to go to the email inbox and click on the email but what inbox they mean? How can I access this inbox of this address that I've just created? If I have to use my own email here then what's the point of adding a domain If I can use gmail smtp straight away? Can someone please clarify this?

A: Here is the clear answer:

*

*At first, you need to purchase and verify your domain in SES(you've done this already, it's good to go for next step)

*You need to write a support ticket to move your SES account out from sandbox mode as it's in sandbox mode by default(You need to provide all info AWS requires in detail)
moving out from sandbox mode
This might take 1 day around, finally you can get production SES status and check in your statistics section from SES console.

*Next, you need to go AWS WorkMail service console and create your email accounts to be used for sender or receiver in your platform by your purchased domain(i.e, if your domain is abc.com, info@abc.com or support@abc.com).
When I say creating email accounts, it says you need to create email address, username and password for each email account.

*Finally, If you need to check out the inbox for above created accounts, WorkMail provides a cool web client for it.
Here is the WorkMail web client documentation from AWS
It says this:

The web client URL looks like this: https://alias.awsapps.com/mail. Replace alias with the alias you received from your site administrator.

Here, alias is configured by you when you create your organization in WorkMail console.
The reason why SES requires to verify domain is something like ID verification of email sender, and verification of 3rd party email addresses gives us a flexibility to work with any other email addresses not registered in SES, also allow development and test before registration of domain in sandbox mode.
Cheers

A: The email address you want to verify must have existing mail service, before you can validate the address in SES.
From AWS docs, about receiving email
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-email.html

When you receive email, Amazon SES processes it according to instructions you provide. For example, Amazon SES can deliver incoming mail to an Amazon S3 bucket, publish it to an Amazon SNS topic, or send it to Amazon WorkMail.

If you need an inbox service, use Amazon WorkMail.
Creating a IAM user doesn't create an inbox. And SES has no inbox capability at all. The point of validation is to allow sending in behalf of the service. In certain use cases, you can process inbound email via Lambda, store attachments on S3 etc. but there is no POP3/IMAP inbox-like service included in the SES.
Creating an IAM user is not required to validate your email. That is only for authentication purposes for accessing AWS account services.

A: AWS SES can receive emails and mostly this is used for automated email processing.
If you have verified in identity that you own the domain(by adding txt record in your domain DNS table) then by default you have verified all emails that fall in that domain.
You don't have to follow the steps to verify individual emails by clicking the link received on the emails.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-domains.html
From your example: since the domain examaple.com is verified, you don't have to again verify emails(user@example.com) that fall under same domain.
Individual email verification is for scenarios where you cant verify domain by placing dns records. Here you will not be able to receive emails, but if you still want to send emails from an address then you can verify it by clicking the link you receive on your inbox. This can be done with gmail or other mail providers.

Once again this season we have been working with World Snooker. As you may have noticed they have an advertising board behind the goal, banner in the Programme and have also been giving away tickets as part of the matchday 50/50 Draw.
The UK Championship is one of snooker's most historic and prestigious tournaments. It is considered the second biggest ranking event, after the World Championship, and those two tournaments make up snooker's Triple Crown along with the Masters.
The UK Championship was first staged in 1977 and has been won by virtually all of snooker's great names.
Since 2011 it has been staged at the York Barbican, and attracts huge crowds throughout. In 2017, Ronnie O'Sullivan won the title for the sixth time by beating Shaun Murphy 10-5 in the final. O'Sullivan equalled Steve Davis's record of six UK titles and will be aiming to go one better and lift the trophy for the seventh time in 2018. Stephen Hendry has won the event five times, and John Higgins has three to his name.
Coverage from BBC television starts from the second round stage, from Saturday December 1st. The event is broadcast to hundreds of millions of fans around the world on a multitude of channels including Eurosport and Chinese national broadcaster CCTV5. The eyes of the world are truly focussed on York for this event every year.
Alongside O'Sullivan, top stars such as world number one Mark Selby, World Champion Mark Williams, crowd favourite Judd Trump, snooker legend John Higgins, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, Ding Junhui and Jimmy White will be among the line up.
A spokesman for World Snooker said: "We can't wait to get back to York as it is one of the favourite events of the year for the players and fans. York is a beautiful city and the Barbican has proved itself to be one of the best venues on our circuit since we first staged the UK Championship there in 2001. Every year we see the tournament well supported by the people of Yorkshire and when the arena is packed out the atmosphere is fabulous. "This year we have an extremely strong demand for tickets so fans must get their seats booked quickly or risk missing out. "The York Barbican really has become the home of the Betway UK Championship and we hope to be going back for many years to come."
Tickets start at just £8 for the early rounds, and with the whole of the first round to be played on the opening three days (November 27-29) it's an incredible chance for fans to see a wide range of the sport's top players. All-day tickets for the final on Sunday December 9 cost £73.
Standard and concession tickets are available. The event is unreserved seating until the final weekend. To book wheelchair seating please call the York Barbican on 0844 854 2757.


When I first saw the Inov-8 TrailRoc line at Outdoor Retailer last summer, I thought the concept was fantastic: Take a trail shoe platform and offer it in an array of cushions and drops to suit a variety of needs. If you are new to the whole minimalist thing and want to ease your way in, you can start at the top and work your way down.
The entire TrailRoc line from most minimal on the left to most cushioned on the right.
The Inov-8 TrailRoc 150 is the end-of-the-line in the TrailRoc series. If you start at the TrailRoc 255, you get 6mm of heel-to-toe drop, and 6mm of cushioning (which means a total of 12mm at the heel). Moving down to the TrailRoc 245 means you get 6mm of cushioning and 3mm of drop (for at total of 9mm at the heel). Next is the TrailRoc 235 which gives you 6mm of cushioning straight-across (no heel rise). What the TrailRoc 150 brings - or more accurately doesn't bring - to the table is no midsole cushioning whatsoever.
For women, the model numbers are slightly different: the 246, 236, and the 226. There is no women's specific version of the 150 - it is considered a unisex shoe.
Note: For those of you unfamiliar with Inov-8 naming conventions, the model number of their shoes also indicate their approximate weight in grams.
The TrailRoc 150 is one of Inov-8's most minimal trail shoes to date - the other being the Bare-Grip 200. In fact, the 150 is arguably one of the most minimal off-road shoes on the market right now. I say arguably because once you start getting this minimal, comparisons start to become an exercise in splitting hairs.
Earlier this year I did a "hair splitting" review of the TrailRoc 235 and the VIVOBAREFOOT Breatho Trail. I rated them as being roughly equivalent in their minimalism, but docked the 235 slightly for it's narrower toebox. At the time of that review, the TrailRoc 150 wasn't yet available for testing. If you haven't read that review yet, you might want to start there as I am going to be spending some time in this review comparing the 150 to the 235.
The TrailRoc 150 features the same outsole and anatomic last as the 235, it shares a similar aesthetic/styling, but the uppers are quite different. While the 235 has a multi-layered mesh, the 150 has a single layer of tightly woven nylon fabric (reminiscent of a lightweight cordura), reinforced with laminations of light nylon ripstop. While the upper is thin and light, it is not stretchy like that of a mesh.
Abrasion resistance. I have found that the closer to the ground a trail shoe is (i.e. no midsole), the more susceptible it is to abrasion. Having good abrasion resistance close to the ground is essential for a minimalist trail shoe. The fabric upper of the 150 appears to be more abrasion resistant than that of the mesh found on the 235.
Resists debris. Another downside of low-to-the-ground trail shoes with an open mesh is that dirt and debris can more easily migrate through the fabric. The tightly woven fabric used on the 150 helps prevents this problem.
Less breathability. The uppers don't breath quite as well; these are not as airy as the 235 so my feet run a little hotter.
Less drainage. When these shoes get soaked, my feet feel like they are sloshing around for longer than a more open mesh. The water eventually does come out, just not as quickly as the 235. There is, however, only a single layer of fabric to absorb water, and thus they still seem to dry out fairly quick.
While the insole could be removed from the 235, the stitching underneath indicates that they were not really intended to be worn this way. On the 150, it is clear that these were designed to be used both with and without the 3mm insole. The footbed is finished in such a way that there is no exposed stitching.
Something I find particularly interesting about the fit of the 150 is that the toebox feels a bit roomier than the 235 for the same size of shoe. I actually prefer the fit of the 150 over the 235, especially with the insole removed. That being said, the toebox could still use a little more room. One thing to note is that because the uppers do not stretch, I have to lace these a little looser to allow for foot expansion. In theory, these shoes could be a good candidate for an elasticized lace, as it would allow for more give/stretch in the uppers.
One feature I really like about the 150 is the rubber toe bumper. On the 235, the toe bumper is a thin plastic coating that - on my test pair - has had some adhesion problems. On the 150, the rubber layer is more substantial, is well bonded, and seems to protect the toes quite well.
Often, on Invo-8s lighter shoes - including other models in the TrailRoc line - they use TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane, a fused flexible plastic) overlays for reinforcement. On the 150, they have forgone the TPU and instead laminated a ripstop fabric over top of the base fabric. While this looks good on the outset, it doesn't take long for the overlay to start wearing. Abrasion wears against the edges and quickly starts to fray the fabric. If those overlays offer any structural integrity, then this isn't a good design. If the overlays are just cosmetic, the pretty face doesn't last long. At this point it is difficult for me to say whether the structure is being compromised, only time will tell.
Abrasion causes fraying along the edges of the fabric overlays.
The TrailRoc sole is said to be designed for both hard pack and loose conditions. In theory you can even run on roads with these (perhaps en-route to the trail). Because the sole of the 150 is so thin, you can feel the lugs through the sole, especially if you remove the insole. This isn't such a big deal when off-road, as you can feel everything through the sole. If you have to cover a substantial amount of miles on hard pack or pavement, and feeling little nubs under your feet is something you are not fond of, then I would suggest sticking with the 235. Personally, I absolutely love the thin soles, extreme flexibility and ground feel that this shoe offers.
There are shoes out there that have as good (or even better) ground feel, but lack an agressive off-road tread. There are others that have a better toebox, good grip, but less ground feel. If you are looking for a shoe that combines the best ground feel with the most agressive outsole, the Inov-8 TrailRoc 150 is currently where it is at.

#SouthofUnionSquare — The Social Reform Club at 45 University Place
By Louisa Winchell
Anyplace else on Earth, the Social Reform Club, which included a who's who of labor, political, and social reform leaders of the turn of the last century, would be a legendary presence and marquee historic landmark. In the area south of Union Square, where an unprecedented confluence of labor, political, leftist, and progressive social history took place, it's an almost entirely forgotten but fascinating footnote in this neighborhood's viral and tumultuous history — a history we are seeking to honor and preserve, and which faces daily and growing threats.
In 1900, the Social Reform Club hosted a lecture by labor leader Edward King, called "A Broad View of the Labor Movement." According to a report by The Typographical Journal published that year, King declared in this speech that the labor movement was growing in importance, bringing more and more people into strikes, disputes, and debates. Over the course of subsequent meetings, he stated that various speakers of the Social Reform Club would continue to address the movement: they would discuss Columbia University's research on trades-unionism, the Knights of Labor, and the Federation of Labor. King's talk and the ones that followed are just a small sampling of the many conversations held at the Social Reform Club on political and economic reform. From its rooms at 45 University Place, the Club boasted a membership featuring the city's most renowned reform leaders, and attempted to confront the most pressing issues for working people locally and internationally.
45 University Place, 2014.
The Social Reform Club was formally organized in 1894 to cultivate consciousness about, and organize around the improvement of, industrial and social conditions. As a critical part of this, it sought to unite working people with their allies. Poet and reformer Ernest Howard Crosby helped found the club after a meeting with political economist and journalist Henry George in late 1894. Its first president was Charles Spahr, who worked as the author and editor of Outlook magazine. In her website on Progressive leader Lillian Wald, Dr. Anne M. Filiaci writes that the Social Reform Club leadership also included lawyer Edmund Kelly, former New York State Assemblymember Ernest Crosby, and Ethical Culture Society-founder Felix Adler. Labor union leader Samuel Gompers, Progressive leader Josephine Shaw Lowell, and author William Dean Howells were also part of the club's advisory board.

According to Samuel Gompers' published papers, the group required that half of the members be wage earners, and the Club's 1898 annual report — cited by the editors of Gompers' papers — revealed that over one third of the club's 310 members were in fact wage earners. As reported in a 1902 issue of Club Men of New York, the club's dues cost $3. In addition to hosting classes, lectures, and conferences — documented widely in newspapers of the time — the Club coordinated non-partisan support of legislation.

Originally, the group met regularly at rooms on Bond Street, before moving to a now-demolished building at 28 East 4th Street. Around the turn of the century, the Social Reform Club moved to 45 University Place, in the neighborhood South of Union Square. The five-story 1845-47 rowhouse was originally constructed for James Brown and Edward Boonen Graves.

The Social Reform Club is mentioned in a number of biographies of New York City's most prominent reformers, especially women, illuminating how much of an influence it had on shaping the politics and networks of these individuals. Dr. Filiaci writes that Lillian Wald was an early member of the Club when she was in her twenties and working as a nurse. Wald was initially "a shy and much impressed member," but admired the Club for being "practical," and for focusing on projects that would manifest in the "improvement of the condition for wage-earners." Wald went on to deeply influence public social services in New York City, as the founder of the Henry Street Settlement and The Visiting Nurse Services of New York, and as the namesake for the Lillian Wald Houses on Avenue D in the East Village.
After cofounding the Working Women's Society in 1886, labor leader Leonora O'Reilly was introduced to the Social Reform Club by philanthropist and activist Louise Perkins. Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch, who would go on to establish the Greenwich House settlement (opened at 26 Jones Street in 1902 and relocated to the newer 27 Barrow Street in 1917), was yet another member of the Club. Dr. Filiaci quotes Simkhovitch's fond memories of the organization: "To the members of that club…no other group will ever be so dear."
21-25 University Place (R-L) with the University Presbyterian Church to the left of No. 25, 1895. By 1899, these buildings were re-numbered 41-47 University Place. The building at 45 University Place, which housed the Social Reform Club, is second from the right.
Civil Rights activist Mary White Ovington joined the club too, where she met prominent socialists Lowell, Howells, and O'Reilly. As reported by Tanya Hart in the book Health in the City, Ovington "underwent a change [while part of the Club] that motivated her leap from thinking about social injustices to activism." In 1901, the Club sponsored a talk by Booker T. Washington that left a strong impression on Ovington, raising her awareness of the widespread impacts of racism in her city. Washington's talk impacted the trajectories of other reformers as well. Socialist, suffragist, and settlement worker Florence Ledyard Cross Kitchelt wrote about Washington's appearance at the Social Reform Club in her journal on April 3, 1901.
Writer and women's movement leader Charlotte Perkins Gilman also writes about speaking at the Social Reform Club "on social reform in England," in her autobiography. The Charlotte Perkins Gilman Papers at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study actually holds some of the Social Reform Club's materials. One document holds the Club's meeting notes describing its transition from East 4th Street to University Place.

The Club's membership furthermore included labor activist and educator Edward King, attorney and activist Edward Warren Ordway, journalist Jacob Riis, economist E.R.A. Seligman, journalist and editor Albert Shaw, and public parks and settlement activist Charles Stover.
Reading through various mentions of the Social Reform Club in newspapers and other publications reveals the great variety of theoretical and everyday subjects the Club took up, many of which still resonate today. One April 1899 article in The Evening Post advertises a talk called "The Operation of Street Railways," and continues to say: "W.F. Doll, who wants to ride his bicycle on the Speedway and can't, has been proposed for membership in the club." The following December, the Club "attacked the question of bridges verses tunnels." In May 1900, the New York Times reported about a letter from the Club "protesting against the detention of witnesses who have no direct connection with crime." The Druggists' League for Shorter Hours held a meeting at the Club in 1898, according to The Pharmaceutical Era. Other talks hosted bore titles such as "King Demos — the Failure of Democracy", "The Social Artistic Movement in England", and "The Fire Department."
Dr. Filiaci emphasizes the Club's attempt to strike a balance between exploring political ideologies and developing practical solutions, referring to a mass meeting the Club sponsored at Cooper Union on January 30, 1895. The event, attended by a large audience and addressed by Samuel Gompers, Henry George, and others, centered a conversation on the 1894 Tenement House Commission of New York City's report. While those present expressed approval the proposed reforms, the Club's representation made sure to articulate that these recommendations were only one step in a much larger process.

As of last night, Thailand thoroughly drubbed the Philippines (to the score of 3-0) and though that saddens me (being a fan of the latter), you were totally right in saying that the Azkals are perpetual dark horses.
They've had quite a season this year (in fact held the Thais to a goalless draw a few weeks ago), but to actually outclass a powerhouse like War Elephants might be too tall an order for a rather inexperienced Philippine squad.


One final MASH beverage before the four-fecta is complete. I've worked up a powerful thirst cleaning the shower and what not, so hopefully this MASH Pomegranate Blueberry will help me rejuvenate. If you've read the previous three reviews on MASH, and if you have then congrats on being better than everyone else, you'd know that MASH drinks are very hit or miss. Enough chatter, I'm too thirsty to care.
Fizzy, fruity, but light enough to chug. MASH Pom-Blu (as I will now call it) is delightful right off the bat. The carbonation seems a little more intense than in other flavors, which is a nice change up. Both the pom and blu are very present and aren't nearly as muted as previous MASH flavors. This particular version of MASH is what the other flavors should strive to be. I'm not sure if the particular flavors involved allow for a more robust taste, but it's great no matter how you slice it. Even though I'm getting a double burst of fruit flavors the drink is still light enough to quench my thirst and doesn't sit heavily in my mouth. Each sip still thrills me with the amount of fizz it contains, almost like it's playfully shocking my tongue. If you were to take all the individual delights from this beverage from this drink and separate them you'd end up with an average soda, but combined they make a fantastic entry into the fruit soda genre… and low calorie to boot!

28 July Croydon borough update
The 19th July saw the completion of the second phase of the biggest vaccination programme in the health service's history, which offers us an opportunity to reflect on the work undertaken so far and to look ahead.
One million local people have now been given their first COVID-19 vaccination by the NHS in south west London. This means that 83% of the adult population is protected – with over 700,000 receiving both doses.
However, there are still thousands of people – many of them younger – who have not yet taken up the offer of a vaccine. For those who are still unsure, we continue to encourage them to come and have a chat at one of our vaccination centres to get the facts. There is no pressure to be vaccinated – we just want to make sure everyone has the facts so they can make their own decision.
All walk-in sessions and most pop-up vaccination clinics are added to our website here – this page is updated regularly.
Centrale Shopping Centre – 8.15am to 7pm, every day until Sunday 1 August 2021 – Both Pfizer and Oxford AZ
Croydon University Hospital – 8am to 4pm, Monday 26 to Friday 30 July 2021 – Pfizer
Mayday Community Pharmacy – 9.30am to 5pm Monday 26 to Sunday 30 July 2021 – Both Pfizer and Oxford AZ
Selhurst Park Stadium – 8.30am to 6.30pm, open daily until Sunday 1 August 2021, closed Tuesday 27 July 2021 – Both Pfizer and Oxford AZ
St Aidan's Church – 9am to 1.30pm, Monday 26 to Friday 30 July 2021 – Both Pfizer and Oxford AZ

From street cleaning to integrated waste management, from salvaging materials to recouping energy, our pursuit of value never ends.
Our model, that of a circular economy, allows us to convert waste into resources. This is a self-fuelling system: first comes collection, then reuse, repair, sharing, recycling of the material, with any remnants converted into usable energy.
Each material takes its own path, wending its way through different processes, within dedicated processing plants. But the departure point is the same for all of them: careful recycling.
We design, create, and manage collection systems, as well as systems for selecting, processing, and transforming waste into materials or energy so that they might be re-injected into production and consumption cycles.
We own and operate a number of plants, which stand apart thanks to their reliability and innovation, security, and high environmental performance.
We offer integrated, cutting-edge solutions for every type of environmental service to both public- and private-sector companies.
We develop research activities aimed at identifying new technologies, with pilot systems and collaborations with industrial partners.
Services for the region: Amsa and Aprica
We provide customised recycling solutions for the local communities, placing them in the service of a full-circle, value-generating path. We take care of cities: we provide street cleaning and other municipal waste-collection services on a daily basis.
Our goal is to make the cities and regions we work in centres of environmental excellence, and we rely on the buy-in from the local community to do this.
Thanks to AMSA "Milanese Environmental Services Company", we work to keep Milan, as well as its 13 surrounding communities, covering a 315 square kilometre area, clean. We provide jobs for 2.4 million people. Through a "door-to-door" service in Milan, we recycle over 60% of all waste generated.
MUNICIPALITIES SERVED
RESIDENTS SERVED
521,602 t
TOTAL RUBBISH COLLECTED
Through Aprica, we serve over 70 communities in Northern Italian Provinces for a total of approximately 867,000 citizens, covering a footprint of over 1,700 square kilometres. In Brescia alone, the mixed-recycling system coupled with the commitment of the local population has allowed for recycling rates to top 70%.
Total recyclables
We manage all types of industrial waste, both hazardous and non hazardous, either directly through our plants, or through third parties, and the entire process for reclaiming contaminated soil and waters.
Our approach involves accurate preliminary analysis, aimed at identifying the best methods for depositing, salvaging, and disposing of waste based on the type of material to be processed, before moving onto designing and fully implementing a range of services: global service, micro collections, MUD [Environmental Impact Statement] form completion, safe destruction, environmental consultancy.
PULIamo
PULIamo is our free app dedicated to the local communities, and to AMSA and APRICA customers, intended to provide a guide to the world of waste collection.
By keying in your address, you will be able to access a wide array of services offered by the leading waste-collection companies in the A2A Group.
The app alerts you to the collection days scheduled for your home, and provides you all the information you need to properly sort your recyclables. Moreover, where available, it allows to submit a pick-up request for cumbersome waste, abnormal situations to be reported (illegal dumping, overflowing receptacles, etc.) and information to be provided on the location of the ecological platforms. Through the application, it is also possible to understand when the streets will be washed.
By downloading the PULIamo app onto your smartphone, not only will you have a convenient tool at your disposal, you will also be doing your part to keep the city clean, and to protect the environment.

A fundamental question faces the U.S.: Is our vision of the future "Made in America" or "Saudi America"? Does the U.S. want to reclaim its value-added manufacturing economy, or become an extractive petro-state? Will the U.S. produce cars and the fuels to power them, or keep importing both foreign cars and refined fuels even as we export cheap domestic oil and natural gas?
The U.S. oil industry views exports of natural gas and crude oil as a twin engine capable of powering windfall profits. Thanks to a confluence of abundant domestic fuel and the industry's even more voluminous greed, it appears we'll finally have the national dialogue we have long needed on energy's role in our economic future.
Six months ago, when I warned in Bloomberg View that the oil industry intended to lock in ever higher North American oil prices by gutting the federal ban on oil exports, some observers thought this ''unthinkable."
Now, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have all signaled that they no longer believe the U.S. should keep its natural gas and crude oil at home.
In recent months, the Department of Energy has approved, on average, a new export permit for liquefied natural gas every six weeks. In response, Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, D, blocked one of President Barack Obama's Energy Department nominees because she considers these almost automatic permit approvals to be reckless. The battle is joined.
Some independent refiners, who want cheap U.S. crude oil since they buy it to refine, have broken with Big Oil to oppose the export agenda. Joining them in opposing exports are steel and aluminum producers; chemical companies; electric utilities; trucking and auto industries; industrial and maritime unions; clean-technology biofuel companies; states in the Northeast, Great Lakes and Pacific West; households that rely on gas heat; and environmentalists worried about the impact of oil and gas extraction from the Canadian tar sands and the Chukchi Sea.
In addition to oil and gas drillers, those favoring exports include multinationals such as Exxon Mobil, the Chamber of Commerce (so much for its defense of all U.S. business), the states of Alaska, North Dakota, Louisiana and Texas, and competitors to U.S. manufacturing overseas.
The divide between these two odd lots concerns more than the price of gasoline at the corner station. Big Oil and its allies envision a future Saudi America that helps OPEC support monopoly oil and gas prices around the world. Opponents of the export strategy veer toward a vision of the U.S. as a middle- class manufacturing power � more like Germany but with lower fuel costs.
The U.S. can see how these competing visions play out simply by looking at its neighbor to the north. What happened in Canada as the global price of oil rose, making its tar sands an attractive investment? Did Canadians benefit?
The province of Alberta gains from tar sands production; the rest of Canada loses, hugely. Canada is a big oil exporter, but gasoline in the Saskatchewan city of Saskatoon, right next to the tar sands, costs almost $5 a gallon � even after you adjust down for Canada's higher gas tax rates.
In 2000, Canada enjoyed a nicely balanced economy with a healthy balance of trade. Energy companies had a $26 billion trade surplus, roughly matching the rest of the Canadian economy. By 2013, the oil industry had more than doubled its surplus, to $63 billion. But the rest of the economy had collapsed, running a trade deficit of more than $70 billion. Canada as a whole was in the red. Huge oil exports drove up the value of the Canadian dollar, making it impossible for manufacturing to compete globally.
We can expect a similar result if the U.S. opts to export oil. Meanwhile, at least nine European nations are seeking to support the U.S. oil and gas lobby to pressure the federal government into exporting natural gas, as well.
It's understandable that foreign manufacturers would like access to cheap U.S. fuel to help them undercut American steel, cars and chemicals products. But nothing about that is good for the average U.S. worker or company. Let's keep our oil and gas on American soil, in the American economy.

What to See in Dubai's Design District
Eat and shop like a local in Dubai.
Newly built from the ground-up (like so much in this desert city sparkling with skyscrapers), d3 is Dubai's fast-expanding Design District, which acts as a creative incubator of sorts for the city and for much of the Middle East. Here, inside the industrial warehouses, galleries, pop-up shops and creative offices (the neighborhood is home to the newly-launched Vogue Arabia), Dubai's aesthetically-minded gather in what most consider the most forward-thinking, exciting area of the city. Most importantly, it provides a sense of community for the visual artists, fashion designers and writers that make Dubai their home, and it's a place that most visitors aren't aware of. The full scope of the Design District won't be realized for another year or so, but it's worth taking a look to see what's to come. Here, a few favorite stops for an afternoon well spent in d3.
Sconsi Gallery
One of the first galleries to open in the Design District, Sconsi carries work ranging from the 17th-century to modern and contemporary artists, with a focus on Italy, as well as pieces from the likes of Andy Warhol.
Craft Cafe
Dubai's dining scene is increasingly becoming more wellness-focused, as exemplified by places like Craft Cafe, which has a menu fill of good-for-you dishes like the acai bowl, made with acai berry puree, raw cacao, greek yogurt, granola and dragon fruit.
One Life Kitchen and Cafe
Another healthy option (especially for breakfast before starting your gallery hop) is in this airy, high-ceilinged space serving up a delicious chia pudding, soaked in almond milk and topped with raspberries, figs and kiwi, or the "sultan's breakfast," comprised of organic eggs baked inside a grilled eggplant.
Nakkash Gallery
Founded in 1983, Nakkash has been a leader in the Middle East in the world of interior design. The Dubai outpost carries limited edition pieces from around the world, as well as decorative items from local designers like Khalid Shafar.
Combining both a concept design store with a Mediterranean-focused restaurant from chef Izu Ani. Items to buy include glassware, travel accessories and tabletop items. And if you just want to unwind after exploring the design district, the menu includes craft beers and an impressive wine list.

In May 2010, Facing South published COAL'S DIRTY SECRET -- a week-long, eye-opening investigation into the growing but under-reported threat of toxic coal ash to our health, communities and environment.
In the series, Facing South reporter Sue Sturgis documents how coal ash is our country's second-largest industrial waste stream and full of arsenic, lead and other dangerous substances, yet remains unregulated by the federal government and faces only a bare patchwork of state rules.
Sturgis also looks at the looming battle over coal ash in Washington, with the EPA introducing new proposed standards -- and utility companies and other powerful interests promising to fight them every step of the way.
Facing South's investigation has already had a big impact: It's been featured in dozens of blogs and media outlets across the country, including Grist and ProPublica. It was even featured in a Department of Homeland Security daily briefing [pdf]!
On the policy front, North Carolina State Rep. Pricey Harrison announced she would be introducing legislation for new state laws to regulate coal ash in NC.
In case you missed it, below is the full week-long series. Thank you for reading -- and thank you for your support of Facing South and our public interest journalism for a better South.
Coal ash is one of the country's biggest waste streams and is full of toxic substances, yet it remains mostly unregulated. Can Washington overcome the fierce opposition of energy interests to protect communities and the environment?
In December 2008, one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history unfolded at the TVA's Kingston coal plant when a massive coal ash holding pond burst. A year and a half later, communities are still feeling the impact -- and there are fears that without federal action a similar disaster could strike elsewhere.
After years of inaction, federal officials are mulling new regulations to confront the growing problem of coal ash. But energy companies have fought off regulation before, and they're fighting the new rules every step of the way.
Coal ash isn't just dumped; it's increasingly being recycled into building materials and other uses. But in states like North Carolina, the failure to adequately regulate one so-called "beneficial use" of the toxic-filled waste is putting communities at risk.
DAY 5 - WHAT NEXT FOR COAL ASH?
Disaster has pushed Washington to call for new standards for handling waste from coal-fired power plants. It's invited citizens to weigh in, but will their voices carry above lobbyists fighting tough regulations?
