Challenges facing American Muslim youth
Council on American-Islamic Relations in California reports about School bullying and accommodation in its 2014 annual report.
The second generation of American Muslim youth are facing additional challenges than their American peers. They feel unsecure and their voices are unheard from their family and communities. Many of them at young age stop practicing Islam and assimilate in the society.
"When we talked about the Islamic civilizations and my 9th grade social studies class I thought okay
I'm gonna learn something about my faith and instead and it was actually the first time that I learned how to pray with so that I could demonstrate it for my class," said Edina Lekovic in her speech to the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding addressing identity crisis. She is the director of policy and programming in Muslim Public Affairs Council.
Sameera Ahmed and Maha Ezzeddine published a paper researching the topic. The paper title is, "Challenges and opportunities facing American Muslim Youth," and published in Journal of Muslim Mental Health. They stated that the preliminary studies have reported that alcohol use among Muslim youth ranged from 47% to 71%. Drinking alcohol is prohibited in Islam.
Family and mosque are the main sources of the religious knowledge and spirituality. Lack of communication between them and the young people is a major problem. The American Muslim youth reported that their immigrant parents usually have culture clashes with the new society. Even the children of Muslim converts, who are Americans, reported that their parents cannot understand them because they were not raised as Muslims.
"Climate of fear exists, when people don't know us," Lekovic said. Islam is an active religion and Muslims believe that they are encountered for the belief strength and the good actions. Many Islamic scholars and educators focus only on enriching the belief and spirituality aspects and ignore the aspect of civic and political actions.
Peer pressure during adolescence pushes some Muslim to violate their beliefs. Some participate in school dances, drugs, and dating to feel belonging. Some protect themselves by isolation from the society in an unhealthy way. Many reported discrimination cases from school teachers and bullying from their peers.
"Young people do not know much about their faith, in to be grappling with your identity and then to be confronted with questions about terrorism or bin Laden or Sony Shia or what's happening in Iraq or Syria or you name it, and to be made into a mouthpiece first time, whether you like it or not, is an overwhelming," Lekovic concluded.

So much for retirement . . . . .
Spurred on by the decision to return to Good Sam and resume hospital practice we quickly decided to get one last traveling fling in. We had been thinking about a trip to Borneo for years and the timing seemed perfect. In fact we had been planning this trip for so long that we had to go out and purchase a new and current Lonely Planet guide. Our goal was to focus on parks and wildlife both on land and in the sea. Singapore was a bookend destination at the beginning and end of the trip and the only place we made advance reservations at. We flew on Singapore Air--our current favorite. Most of the passengers were Asian and the choices in food and entertainment were pleasing to everyone. Everyone, that is, except a 2 year old girl, who was traveling with her mother to visit grandparents in India. This was her first plane trip and her first separation from her father. She cried, make that screamed, for the better part of this 19 hour flight. We felt sorry for her, but even more so for her mother, who was endlessly patient and attentive and held her most of the flight in her effort to console and comfort an inconsolable child. With each passing hour our respect and admiration for this mother grew.
Singapore is an amazingly clean, safe, beautiful, and modern city and centrally located in Asia. We stayed this time at the Hangout Hotel. It is centrally located, atop Mt Emily, with a great little restaurant on the first floor, free internet, clean rooms, great views and friendly staff. Our first destination on Borneo was Kuching and we made reservations at the Singahsana Lodge, a back-packers destination, which was also centrally located with a terrific staff.
Best Restaurant in Kuching: The Top Spot--a massive collection of seafood eateries where you pick out your own fish and they cook it for you plus any vegetables you want. Want fresh "jungle greens"? They have it. The place was packed every night.


Marisa contacted me a few months ago to take some maternity photos with her and her husband Chris! They live in Stowe, MA and I was so glad that I got to drive up there. What a gorgeous area! We lucked out with such lovely, dreamy light!
After we finished, Chris asked if I would mind taking a couple photos of his first baby, his car. After the winter we had, it just doesn't make sense for them to keep it anymore, so sadly he will be getting rid of it soon. I hope these photos help ease the pain a little Chris!

Four Legged Hero of Hafod Colliery
June 1947 a white pony called Moon retired.
Four Legged Hero of Hafod Colliery.
A deep mine was sunk at Hafod in the 1860s by Ruabon Coal Company and, at its peak production employed nearly 2,000 workers and worked for a hundred years. Millions of tons of coal were dug up and sold. Gas was also piped out of the mine to fire the quarry tiles made nearby. The clay works and the mine at Hafod were often in joint ownership. Many of the miners' homes in Rhosllannerchrugog are made from the bright red clay dug up and fired at Hafod. The local chapels exerted a strong influence underground. Miners had to keep to high moral standards. Many miners walked the mile or two to work or rode in buses.
At the end of the 6 O'clock shift the mine's hooter blew, a signal for the wives at home to get the potatoes on because their husbands and sons would soon be home for dinner. To reach the coal seams, over 25 million tons of waste stone and shale had to be dug out. This material was banked up to form the spoil hill at Hafod. The amount of coal dug out was far greater, look at the spoil hill at Hafod and imagine an even larger hill of black coal. This coal was the reason why Johnstown and Rhos were built, with families moving from other parts of the country to work in the mines. Coal was the driving force of the area's economy and social structure for a century.
Among the Hafod Colliery pit ponies arriving at a horses' rest home in Halewood in June 1947 was a white pony called Moon. At the time surveyors used a measuring instrument called a miners' dial, which was centred on a horsehair sight. Invariably it was a hair from Moon's tail which was used for this purpose. So, long after his career at the colliery ended, Moon would still have been helping in the development of tunnels and the discovery of new seams.

Stakeholders in the Gringo Star Street Bar are awaiting their return on investment for the now-closed establishment.
Owner Julian Wright emailed a note to investors March 27 stating final reconciliation of the books will be done in a couple of weeks. "We will send final financial info and checks then," he wrote.
Investors of the popular Tempe, Arizona bar said they were taken by surprise when they learned via a Facebook post that the Gringo Star Street Bar on popular Mill Avenue had locked the doors for good.
As reported January 20, a Jan.19 post on the bar's Facebook page alerted customers to the closing. There was no explanation given and numerous questions from patrons were left unanswered.
The bar opened in 2013, offering arcade games, food, drinks, dancing and street art. The 6,500 square foot bar on the corner of 5th Street and Mill Avenue was once home to the Library Bar and Grill, another of Wright's bar/restaurants. Gringo Star's opening was highly anticipated from both a consumer and investor standpoint.
Shareholders said when the bar first opened, it appeared to be a sound investment. They said they did see a return on the funds they entrusted with Wright.
But after a couple years, they said things started going south. They no longer received dividends and Wright was difficult to reach. They allege when they asked questions about their investment or the financial health of the Gringo Star Street Bar, they were either ignored or not given an answer. When they did receive an answer, they allege it wasn't a favorable one. In fact, two investors said Wright would answer with a "F**k you" if he didn't like what was being asked of him. Veritas News was provided with a string of text messages allegedly between a shareholder and Wright that does show crude language.
In his recent correspondence, Wright provided a profit and loss statement for 2017. The records show total sales of just over $1 million with overall sales down 39.4 percent.
Wright sold the bar for $300,000 but had not received any money at the time of the sale. He said last week he has since received the money and investors will be paid. It's not known how many investors there are.
Located close to Arizona State University, Mill Avenue is well-known for it's bars and nightlife. When asked why Gringo Star Street Bar wasn't able to keep the doors open, Wright said Mill Avenue is very competitive. "After Gringo Star opened, countless other bars, seeing our success, opened around us and in better locations." He added that there have been more bars that have failed on Mill Avenue than have been successful. Wright noted that a bar in a college town rarely has a lifespan beyond three years.
"The fact it lasted five years is pretty impressive," he said.
Others see Mill Ave. as a prime location.
As KTAR news reported March 29, A Canadian-based board game bar and cafe will break into the US market with a new location in Tempe that it plans to open sometime this summer.
Despite the investor complaints, Wright said no money was lost. "That's the reality," he said.
With the latest news, investors said they are hoping Wright is correct and that they receive their checks within the time frame Wright specified.

The chance of dying from a gunshot wound to the torso is 3.4 times higher for law enforcement officers not wearing armor.
A total of 1,512 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty over the past decade, an average of one death every 63 hours or 151 per year.
Based on the number of deaths per 50k officers, Louisiana had the 9th highest average of officer deaths from 2008-2012 with 6.7% average officer's lives lost per year and 21 deaths total.
The number of police officers that were killed on the job increased by 56% nationwide in 2016, with 135 lives lost in 2016. 64 of these officers' lives were tragically ended in shootings and 21 of these victims dies in ambush attacks.
More than 22,000 officers have made the ultimate sacrifice in the United States since 1792. 485 (2.2%) of these tragic losses have been in the state of Louisiana.
As of October 24, 2017, 106 officers tragically lost their lives in 2017, with Louisiana being the state with the 6th highest number of officers lost for the year.
In the first half of 2017, 65 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty, an increase of 30% over the same period last year.
Armor vests have saved the lives of more than 3,000 law enforcement officers over the past 30 years.
There were 51,548 assaults on law enforcement officers in 2015, causing 14,453 injuries.

I'm just starting with 15mm WWII, and I'm not very familiar with all the manufacturers of fun stuff. I'd like to find pre-made fortification bits for 15mm similar in nature to the kinds of things C-in-C makes for 6mm.
I really like the Buaeda desert emplacements, but they're meant to fit the odd-sized FOW bases and I'd like to know what else is out there.
The miniatures manufacturers seem to just make soldiers, heavy weapons, guns and vehicles, not emplacements.
Battlefront, the makers of FOW, sell a whole number of emplacements that fit their bases perfectly. Cheap and prepainted too.
look on the last page of American, British, German, and Russian Infantry.
The CD infantry in foxholes are good.
Another vote for Ironclad Miniatures. I have a lot of their trenches and various fieldworks and gun positions, and excellent quality they are too.
Command Decision WW2 Germans are the best in 15mm in my opinion, lots of variety, quality sculpts, haven't seen better.
Essex makes superb WWII figs, though the range is limited.
I'm only doing Pacific War in 15mm so far, and CD doesn't do Marines or Japanese in foxholes. Too bad, those look kinda cool.
The FOW stuff is also geared to their own basing system, which I'm not using, but it does look pretty nice. Pre-painted is a big bonus.
I didn't know about Ironclad Miniatures. I'm going to have to spend some time there. Thanks!
Battlefront's basing does make some sense: Two Small bases are the same size as a Medium base, and two Medium bases are the same size as a Large.
But if you aren't using BF bases, then I think you'd need to make your own 'Dug In' markers.
I'd make a couple and then resin cast however many you need.
Actually, hold that thought. If whatever basing standard you are using will fit in the BF markers, use those. If your basing standard will not fit in the BF markers, then you need to make your own.
I'll have to build the foxholes the troops go in, but that shouldn't be too hard with clay or green stuff.
The basic FOW idea of a mound around a stand looks like something I can make. I'll give that a try. I like making terrain, and I've always wanted to try making sand bags. I've done resin casting, so I agree that's a great way to crank out a bunch of duplicates.

Savannah man receives over 50-year sentence for violent crime spree
WHO chief worried about 'tsunami' of omicron, delta cases
by: GEIR MOULSON, Associated Press

BERLIN (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization said Wednesday that he's worried about the omicron and delta variants of COVID-19 producing a "tsunami" of cases between them, but he's still hopeful that the world will put the worst of the pandemic behind it in 2022.
Two years after the coronavirus first emerged, top officials with the U.N. health agency cautioned that it's still too early to be reassured by initial data suggesting that omicron, the latest variant, leads to milder disease. First reported last month in southern Africa, it is already the dominant variant in the United States and parts of Europe.
And after 92 of the WHO's 194 member countries missed a target to vaccinate 40% of their populations by the end of this year, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged everyone to make a "new year's resolution" to get behind a campaign to vaccinate 70% of countries' populations by the beginning of July.
According to WHO's figures, the number of COVID-19 cases recorded worldwide increased by 11% last week compared with the previous week, with nearly 4.99 million newly reported from Dec. 20-26. New cases in Europe — which accounted for more than half of the total — were up 3% while those in the Americas rose 39% and there was a 7% increase in Africa. The global gain followed a gradual increase since October.
"I'm highly concerned that omicron, being more transmissible (and) circulating at the same time as delta, is leading to a tsunami of cases," Tedros said at an online news conference. That, he said, will put "immense pressure on exhausted health workers and health systems on the brink of collapse."
WHO said in its weekly epidemiological report that the "overall risk" related to omicron "remains very high." It cited "consistent evidence" that it has a growth advantage over the delta variant.
It noted that a decline in case incidence has been seen in South Africa, and that early data from that country, the U.K. and Denmark suggest a reduced risk of hospitalization with omicron, but said that more data is needed.
WHO's emergencies chief, Dr. Michael Ryan, underlined that note of caution. He said it will be important in coming weeks to "suppress transmission of both variants to the minimum that we can."
Ryan said that omicron infections began largely among young people, "but what we haven't seen is the omicron wave fully established in the broader population. And I'm a little nervous to make positive predictions until we see how well the vaccine protection is going to work in those older and more vulnerable populations."
WHO officials didn't offer specific comments on decisions by the U.S. and other countries to reduce self-isolation periods. Ryan said "these are judgement calls that countries make" — taking into account scientific, economic and other factors. He noted that the average incubation period to date has been around five to six days.
"We need to be careful about changing tactics and strategies immediately on the basis of what we're seeing" about omicron, Ryan said.
Tedros renewed longstanding warnings that "ending health inequity remains the key to ending the pandemic." He said that missing the target of getting 40% of populations vaccinated this year "is not only a moral shame — it cost lives and provided the virus with opportunities to circulate unchecked and mutate."
Countries largely missed the target because of limited supply to low-income nations for most of the year and then vaccines arriving close to their expiry date, without things such as syringes, he said.
All the same, "I still remain optimistic that this can be the year we can not only end the acute stage of the pandemic, but we also chart a path to stronger health security," Tedros said.

Q: Proving two matrices have equal rank Let $A$ be a diagonalizable matrix and $\lambda$ an eigenvalue of $A$. Prove that
$
rank(\lambda I - A) = rank((\lambda I - A)^2)
$
Any tips how I should get started proving this statement?
I've tried starting from the definition of A being a diagonalizable matrix i.e. there exists an invertible matrix $P$ such that $P^{-1}AP$ is a diagonal matrix, but have no clue on how to proceed.

A: If $M$ and $N$ are similar matrices, i.e. if there exists an invertible matrix $P$ such that $N=P^{-1}MP$, then they have the same rank (why?) and the same eigenvalues (again, why?).
Spoilers below.

Let $D=P^{-1}AP$ be the diagonalisation of $A$. Then
$$\text{rank}(\lambda I-A)=\text{rank}(P^{-1}(\lambda I-A)P)=\text{rank}(\lambda I-P^{-1}AP)=\text{rank}(\lambda I-D).$$
Similarly, because $P^{-1}(\lambda I - A)^2P = \lambda^2 I -2\lambda P^{-1}AP+P^{-1}APP^{-1}AP = (\lambda^2 I - D)^2$, the original problem now reduces to: given a diagonal matrix $D$ with $\lambda$ its eigenvalue, prove that
$$\text{rank}(\lambda I-D)=\text{rank}((\lambda I-D)^2).$$
Now it is clear that $\lambda I - D$ and $(\lambda I-D)^2$, being diagonal matrices themselves, will have the same number of nonzero entries on the diagonal, i.e. the same rank.

More Research Reveals Harmful Effects of Blue Light Exposure from LED Lights
More Research Reveals Harmful Effects…
All Blue Light is Not Created Equal, Exposure to the Right Blue is Critical for Optimizing Circadian Rhythms
Circadian Light Research Center emphasizes healthy circadian lighting key to better health
BOSTON, Dec. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — One of the excuses the lighting industry uses to avoid addressing the harmful effects of blue-enriched LED lights at night is "circadian science is not yet mature." Now a publication in PNAS from Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital has resolved one of the last remaining contradictions in the science – what color blue is responsible for the health effects? Start 2023 off in the best light, with details from The Circadian Light Research Center on exposure to the right blue light.
Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, director of the Circadian Light Research Center explains: "Over the past 20 years, exposure to blue-rich light at night, and too little blue-rich light during the day, has been linked to dozens of serious health disorders caused by circadian rhythm disruption, including sleep disorders, depression, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and several hormone-sensitive cancers including breast and prostate cancer. But which blue? Royal blue, sky blue, aqua?"
The first studies in 2001 pointed to 460 nm royal blue. But the photobiologists studied people in the dark given short (less than 90 minutes) exposures to monochromatic (single-color) lights.
These early studies hardly represented how people use lights in the real world. To better understand blue light effects, the Circadian Light Research Center team studied people working under normal office lighting. In 2020 they reported the key color that had to be controlled in healthy lighting was 477 nm sky blue, near the 479 nm peak sensitivity of the melanopsin circadian photopigment in the eye. The 460 nm royal blue sensitivity only applied to the dark-adapted eye, but in the normal light-adapted conditions of workplaces and homes, the blue light most essential to control was sky blue, near 480 nm light.
In 2022, the Harvard study confirmed the explanation was correct. During the first hour of light exposure, 460nm royal blue is the key circadian clock resetting signal, but after that, approximately 480nm sky-blue light is the circadian time cue. They resolved the contradiction by studying 99 dark-adapted human volunteers receiving 6.5 hours of monochromatic light exposures instead of the previously studied 90 minutes.
The reason for the difference between short versus long light exposures is that the cones in the retina are triggered when people first see light. Still, that effect fades away in the first hour, leaving the melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells in the retina, driving the sustained response to blue light as long as the lights remain on.
The key to human health is for the lighting industry to remove all 438-493 nm blue light from every LED light used after sunset but add plenty of 480 nm blue light to every fixture and light bulb used during the daytime hours.
If not replaced with circadian lighting, people only prolong the ill-health caused by the indiscriminate use of blue-enriched lights.
Circadian Blue Light is the narrow band of blue light (between 438-493nm) that synchronizes our circadian rhythms during the day and disrupts them at night.
Circadian Light Research Center
Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a former professor at Harvard Medical School, and his research team built this medical research center to identify and develop optimal health circadian lighting. With funding from the National Institutes of Health and other supporters, they designed and operated a light-controlled medical research center with a fully spectrally-controlled workplace and residential lighting to study human volunteers living and working at all hours around the clock.

El Ghazi's desire to join Everton convinced Benítez to agree deal
El Ghazi moved to Goodison Park on loan from Aston VillaBenítez: 'He has the desire to do well for us'Rafael Benítez has claimed he agreed to Anwar El Ghazi's transfer from Aston Villa after being convinced of the winger's desire to join Everton.The Everton manager wants to strengthen in central midfield but landed the winger on a five-month loan, with an option to buy, after he became "part of the deal with [Lucas] Digne when we started negotiations". Benítez would not be drawn on whether the signing was imposed on him by Farhad Moshiri, or influenced by an agent close to the club's majority shareholder, but insisted he was involved in deciding Everton's third incoming player of the window.

Inaugural Community Fair and Expo set for Dec 10
By Staff | Dec 3, 2011
The inaugural Community Fair and Non-Profit Expo will be held at Christa McAuliffe Charter Elementary School on Saturday, Dec 10, bringing together a host of organizations in one setting to educate and entertain the public.
It's an effort by organizer Scott Bologna to highlight many of the non-profits in Cape Coral, as well as the many services both the city and county provide, all at no cost.
The event started as a rummage sale to raise money for Christa McAuliffe, but quickly ballooned into something on a far larger scale.
As he began making the phone calls, reaching out to the 30 or so agencies which are taking part, Bologna said they were all eager to get on board.
"Everyone kept saying yes. They were so appreciative," Bologna said.
Some of the non-profits scheduled to attend include Cape Coral Caring Center, BIKE-WALK LEE, Cape Coral Art League, Cultural Park Theater, Northwest Homeowners Association, Animal Refuge Center, Invest in America Veterans Foundation, Cape Coral Neighborhood Watch and The Friends of Wildlife to name a few.
There also will be a number of Cape Coral city organizations, including the Police Citizens Academy, the K-9 Unit, Do The Right Thing and the city's Code Enforcement Department.
The city's charter schools also will be represented, giving them the chance to raise funds for programs at their particular schools.
"All the money raised goes back directly to these schools," Bologna said.
Local officials will take the opportunity to meet with the public and discuss issues.
Rep. Gary Aubuchon, who recently announced his run for Congressman Connie Mack's seat, will be speaking from 11a.m. – 11:30 a.m. on the importance of volunteerism and staying engaged in your local community, as well as giving updates on the political happenings in Tallahassee.
Cape Coral Councilmember Kevin McGrail will be speaking from 10 – 11 a.m. during a live, open air townhall meeting.
McGrail said Thursday that the townhall will be an opportunity for him to speak about some of the positives in Cape Coral, including the eventual widening of Burnt Store Road, The Veterans Investment Zone and future land use.
McGrail said the Community Fair and Expo also will be a great opportunity to showcase the city's charter school system, letting parents and their children learn about one of the city's true assets.
"It's an opportunity for some of these new families to learn about our Charter School system, and to let them know what the future holds for our great city," McGrail said.
Bologna said the public will walk away with a true sense of all the opportunities available to them in the community, along with the desire to give back and volunteer, when needed.
Bologna has served on a number of local boards, including the Charter School Foundation and the Citizen Advisory Committee of the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
"It's an opportunity to learn about the organizations they didn't know were here that can help them personally," Bologna said.
This event is free and open to the public.

When it comes to recycling glass, MillerCoors has Momentum on its side

By Eric Peterson
In 2015, the state's recycling rate for glass bottles was a measly 6.3 percent, way below the national rate of 26.4 percent. About 320,000 tons were thrown away statewide, 20,000 tons were recycled, and 300,000 tons ended up in landfills.
But that all changed with the arrival of Momentum Recycling in Broomfield in 2017. In its first year of operations in Colorado, the Salt Lake City-based company diverted more than 40,000 tons of glass waste back into the supply chain for the two bottle plants on the Front Range: Rocky Mountain Bottle Company in Wheat Ridge and Owens-Illinois in Windsor. With that, Colorado's glass-bottle recycling rate jumped to more than 20 percent.
Momentum Recycling CEO John Lair says glass recycling was previously held back by the lack of a processing facility in Colorado. Landfills often used waste glass as cover and lining material, deemed a "beneficial use" by the state.
"In the absence of the facility we have right now, they didn't have any options," says Lair. "They did the best they could with the situation they had at the time. Now there is better and higher use."
Before Momentum turned on the lights, sorting and processing fell on materials recovery facilities (MRFs). "Bottle manufacturers can't take it when that's dirty," says Lair. "They can't put it in the furnace. That's why it wasn't recycled before."
Momentum now transforms it into cullet, refined and crushed glass that is furnace-friendly for the manufacturers. "You can think of it as refining at our plant," says Lair. "Our infeed material is very, very dirty. If you look at it, it doesn't look like glass, but it's 80 percent glass."

Momentum sells its cullet to Owens-Illinois and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company (which is a joint venture of MillerCoors and Owens-Illinois). The two plants allow for a unique closed-loop system to take root in Colorado.
"That glass it being turned back into a bottle in Colorado," says Lair."We're definitely having the best impact on the environment. Using glass in any other way is no longer appropriate."
Rocky Mountain Bottle Company's facility in Wheat Ridge has three furnaces that are operated nonstop for a decade or more. It's inefficient to turn them off, as they melt glass at temperatures around 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
"On average, the facility produces 3 million to 4 million bottles a day, 360 days a year," says William Dillaman, Rocky Mountain Bottle Company's plant manager. "We're pretty much running 24/7."
The plant has long sourced cullet from various recycling operations in Colorado, and still does. It also recycles scrap from its operations. "Typically, pre-Momentum, we would purchase 25,000 to 26,000 tons a year of sorted glass," Dillaman explains. "A lot of that was mixed color. It wasn't doing us any good for our flint [clear glass] furnace."
He adds, "A lot of that is now going to Momentum. They're better able to clean it up and color-sort it."
Momentum will provide the plant with an additional 30,000 tons in 2018; colored glass is shipped to Owens-Illinois in Windsor. "Today, we're projecting 57,000 tons of post-consumer glass [for 2018]," says Dillaman. "That is a high-water mark for us."
And that means less energy used along the entire supply chain. "There's a big advantage in melting glass a second time," says Dillaman. "We don't have to fire the furnaces as hard. For every 3 percent additional cullet, we can remove 1 percent of energy."
For the flint furnace, that means a 5 percent drop in energy use, he notes, as the cullet has increased from 10 percent to 25 percent of the mix. "We've been able to reduce energy use on that furnace and prolong its life."
For the amber glass furnaces, the mix is about 30 percent cullet, some of which is shipped from Michigan via rail, a costly proposition. Since Momentum opened in Broomfield, the Michigan cullet has dropped from about 400 tons a week to 200 tons a week.
Dillaman says there is plenty of room to grow. "Owens-Illinois operated furnaces in Europe that are as high as 70 percent cullet. We can get there, we just can't get it in Colorado."
Not yet, that is, but Momentum is looking to change that. The company is now focused on getting more bottles into recycling bins in Colorado. "It's what we focus on most right now," says Lair. "The good news is both Rocky Mountain Bottle Company and Owens-Illinois have demand for more broken glass, so we can grow."
It is viable to ship glass about 200 miles to Broomfield; beyond that, transportation costs are too high. "The good news is there's no glass being collected within a couple hundred miles that's not being recycled," says Lair. "The bad news is there's lots of waste glass being generated along the Front Range that's not finding its way into a recycling bin."
Funding is a big issue. "We need more infrastructure and more education," says Lair. "We are going to step up to the plate and provide more of both."
Momentum is currently in discussions with a number of municipalities to launch recycling. Open-market communities that allow residents to choose from several waste collectors are primary targets. "That tends to be where we see this issue," says Lair. As people pay an additional charge for a recycling bin, "There is a penalty people pay to recycle in these open-market communities. The recycling rates are incredibly low."
On a national level, households with automatic curbside collection programs recycle 40 percent more materials than those that have opt-in programs, according to data from the Recycling Partnership. That's more than 100 extra pounds of recycling per household per year.
In places with a single contracted hauler or city-run system, costs are lower and recycling is higher. "The other side of that coin is you no longer have a choice."
Lair aims to set up drop-off sites on city-owned land in communities without curbside recycling, as Momentum has implemented in several municipalities in Utah. "There's a lot of pieces that go into that," he says. "In the meantime, all this glass is going to the landfill, so we're going to provide free public drop-off sites."
Depending on the proximity to Broomfield, Momentum might cover all costs; cities that are more than 50 miles will need to subsidize some of the transportation costs. "We were immediately able to get that recycling rate up into the mid-20s," says Lair. "We know we could do better than that, we just need to get more glass in the door."
The Broomfield facility's capacity is about 75,000 tons a year, and it could be expanded if needed. "We hope we have that problem," he says.

Q: CIFilters inside Dispatch Queue causing memory issue in an ARC enabled project I was running some CIFilters to blur graphics and it was very laggy so I wrapped my code in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ /*...*/ });

Everything sped up and it ROCKED! Very fast processing, seamless blurring, great!
After about a minute though the app crashes with 250Mb memory (when I don't use dispatch I only use around 50Mb memory consistently because ARC manages it all)
I used ARC for my whole project, so I tried manually managing memory by releasing CIFilters inside my dispatch thread, but xCode keeps returning errors and won't let me manually release since I'm using ARC. At this point it would be an insane hassle to turn off ARC and go through every .m file and manually manage memory.
So how do I specifically manage memory inside dispatch for my CIFilters?
I tried wrapping it all in an @autoreleasepool { /*...*/ } (Which ARC strangely allows?) But it did not work. /:

Example code inside dispatch thread:
        UIImage *theImage5 = imageViewImDealingWith.image;

        CIContext *context5 = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];
        CIImage *inputImage5 = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:theImage5.CGImage];

        // setting up Gaussian Blur (we could use one of many filters offered by Core Image)
        CIFilter *filter5 = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIGaussianBlur"];
        [filter5 setValue:inputImage5 forKey:kCIInputImageKey];
        [filter5 setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:5.00f] forKey:@"inputRadius"];
        CIImage *result = [filter5 valueForKey:kCIOutputImageKey];

        // CIGaussianBlur has a tendency to shrink the image a little,
        // this ensures it matches up exactly to the bounds of our original image
        CGImageRef cgImage = [context5 createCGImage:result fromRect:[inputImage5 extent]];

        imageViewImDealingWith.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImage];

        CGImageRelease(cgImage);
        context5 = nil;
        inputImage5 = nil;
        filter5 = nil;
        result = nil;

A: do you release the cgImage?
CGImageRelease(cgImage);

Gold rates slump amid US-China early trade deal
By Sanjiv Arole
Mumbai: Makar Sankranti, the festival of kites, is celebrated in the western part of the country, particularly Gujarat and Mumbai. In Mumbai, the high flying Indian cricket team was brought down to earth by the Aussies in an ODI game at the Wankhede. Likewise, gold that flew high in the first eight days of the year got a reality check as the yellow metal drifted lower like a kite whose string has been cut.
In the international markets, gold valued at $1,545 per ounce. However, gold-edged above the January 3 levels in early Asian trading on Wednesday. Gold's future course would depend upon the US-China trade deal and the current stock markets upswing across the globe.
Gold opened lower than the previous close at Rs 39,515 per 10 gms on the BSE. It closed marginally higher at Rs 39,634 per kg. However, silver too closed slightly higher than the opening price at Rs 45,835 per kg. While gold is still in a positive zone in the New Year, silver went into negative territory. But, both the precious metals have given better returns than the stock markets or the currencies in the domestic market over the one year and six months period.
Gold (Rs per 10 gms) Opening Closing
Jan 7 40488 40537
Jan 10 39798 39760
Silver (Rs Per kg) Opening Closing

HUMANS OF HAVANA
The idea for Humans of Havana was simple. We wanted to create a photoblog featuring street portraits and interviews based on the eponymous Humans of New York (HONY), curated by Brandon Stanton. The HOH project is the Cuba Journal's foray into a new genre of photoblogging or street photography as another way to tell Cuba's story.
Everyone has a story. And in Cuba's case, a whole country has as story to tell that is like no other. The coming years will reveal a lot of visuals and narratives awaiting connection with a broader audience. We want to chronicle the "change generation." The site is not political. It's simply about Cubans, their lives unadorned by props.
The site's format follows Brandon's HONY almost exactly. Candid images combine with short text narratives that add a little bit of context. Subjects reveal a little about themselves, which reveals a little about the city – and perhaps, collectively, a little about humanity. The site and Facebook page will be edited for politics or attacks on the subjects.
What can you find on Humans of Havana? We're trying to capture the narrative of the Cuban people as they transition from a closed society to an open one. Our Cuban photographer has been given minimal instruction beyond capturing a true sense of what ordinary Cubans are doing and saying on the street. Hopefully, the collection of images and stories will allow site visitors to step into the shoes of a typical Cuban and catch a glimpse of an experience that may be different from their own and also learn something about how connected we are despite our differences.

Shepherd plays an office drone who, while frustratingly trying to get his computer to work amidst his low-rent, dull, generic office surroundings, picks up a copy of The Great Gatsby and starts reading it aloud- every page, every sentence. And he does this for the first half hour of what is essentially the first of four acts. His co-workers start coming in, and they are familiar office types- the busybody office manager, the cocky building superintendent, the aloof first-line supervisor, the laidback IT guy, that random person who shows up everyday but you never really know what she does, the Big Boss, but he keeps on reading, and reading. Until his co-workers suddenly start becoming the characters in Fitzgerald's novel, and they're playing out the scenes of grandeur and wealth, of Long Island mansions, Jazz Age flappers and expensive roadsters that Fitzgerald so articulately and powerfully paints, within the office setting, wearing their own drab office clothes, using office supplies, tables, chairs, typewriters, boxes, folders, as props. And the brilliance of Gatz is that you believe them and are transported. It's like reading the novel, but with a twist- you visualize the scenes in your head, and these scenes are then overlaid with the performance that you are actually watching, and your imagination co-mingles them and transforms them, from seemingly incongruous and disconnected, to apt metaphors. It's indescribable and stupefying, but also exhilarating. The party that Tom Buchanan's mistress Myrtle throws for assorted Manhattan social climbers is played as a drunken, rowdy office party. The final confrontation at the Plaza Hotel suite between Gatsby and Tom and Daisy is portrayed as a late afternoon shoot-the-breeze office tableau.
Part of the reason for this transformative experience is the beauty and power of Fitzgerald's language. These are dialogue and descriptions straight from the book, untarnished by any filter imposed by an adaptor, and they are vivid and lively in themselves. Another important driver is the direction- ERS founder John Collins directs the play tautly, with every movement, lighting effect, onstage grouping, aimed to evoke Fitzgerald's world. Nothing is superfluous or unnecessary. A large contributor to the experience is the brilliant sound design. Sound designer Ben Williams is actually onstage throughout the play, working with his sound effects board, and also performing several minor parts such as Michaelis, the witness to Myrtle Wilson's accidental death. Sound is an integral part of every scene. You hear Fitzgerald's words clarified and amplified by a variety of sound effects, whether they're cars honking from outside the office, or the big band jazz music of the novel's setting. The sound effects are so extraordinarily designed, that you don't notice at all that the urban sounds of the office setting such as traffic and street noises have given way to the birds chirping or the leaves rustling in West Egg, Long Island, the setting for most of the novel. Another important element is the acting – the ensemble is exceptional, with no weak link amongst them. And they make terrific sense of the device of having the office characters take on the Gatsby characters. Gary Wilmes as the arrogant building guy extraordinarily paints the arrogance, insecurity-driven bravado, and bigotry and status-consciousness that the Tom Buchanan character possesses. It makes perfect sense that Jim Fletcher as the inscrutable, socially awkward, unemotional office Big Boss (don't we know many bosses like those?) surfaces those same characteristics in Jay Gatsby. Aaron Landsman as the bumbling, laidback, passive-aggressive IT guy perfectly matches George Wilson's persona. And Stacy Sokol, as the office chick who doesn't really do anything but read magazines, is amazingly appropriate as the "lady golfer" Jordan (who basically doesn't do anything too but play golf, and read magazines).
And then there's Scott Shepherd. Shepherd is top dog of New York experimental theater actors, having played lead roles in many ERS and Wooster Group productions, and it's a rare treat to see his masterful work. He reads the book cover-to-cover, yes, but also simultaneously paints a fully-fleshed out, dazzlingly multi-dimensional take on Nick Carroway. He is aloof, incredulous, ambivalent, loyal, disillusioned, everything that Fitzgerald writes Nick to be, but Shepherd communicates these characteristics through gestures, inflections, quick looks at the other characters, for that is all he can do, because he is reading a book in his hand. But it works and it enthralls. And when he finally puts down the book, and performs the last 45 minutes, the last three chapters of the novel, from memory, you are dumbfounded and catapulted into the stratosphere (he supposedly has memorized the entire book). His delivery of Nick's final monologue on leaving the materialistic East and returning to the still-values-oriented Midwest is devastating.
Gatz was a great, must-see, once-in-a-lifetime production, a privilege that the Chicago audience on Friday night (there were two other performances over the weekend) didn't squander. Most of the audience stayed through the entire seven and a half hours (there were some empty seats after the dinner break, not a lot, which was impressive). The audience reacted at Fitzgerald's dry humor, which ERS marvellously drew out from the text, enthusiastically. But they were also quiet and subdued during Nick's final monologue. And we all rose to our feet, allowing the cast to take close to ten curtain calls, at the end of the play, knowing that the past seven and a half hours were indelible and unrepeatable.
Chris Jones, over at the Chicago Tribune, can't stop writing about Gatz. The production moves to EMPAC in Troy, New York, one of the major showcases of experimental art in the country later this month, and then undertakes an Australia tour in May 2009.
