I know I'm not the only one who thinks Somoas are the best Girl Scout cookies HANDS DOWN. That combo of coconut, caramel, chocolate... I do not buy them anymore cause I can eat the whole box in a day. And that is not a good idea for my health or my waistline.
I just love how nice this fudge looks, too - the waves of caramel and the crunchy toasted coconut on top really make this a great addition to a cookie/candy tray.

Spread coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven at 375 for 5-8 minutes, checking after 5 minutes, and shaking the sheet to redistribute the coconut for even toasting.
In a large saucepan, heat butter, cream, sugar and salt on medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 5 minutes then remove from heat. Combine pudding, white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. Pour butter and sugar mixture into the bowl, and mix, using an electric mixer, until combined and chocolate is smooth. Immediately pour into a parchment paper lined 13x9 baking dish.
Melt caramel bits with 1 tsp. heavy cream in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour caramel over top of fudge. Use a knife to spread and swirl it into the fudge. Refrigerate fudge for 2-3 hours until set.
Melt semi sweet morsels in a small bowl in the microwave at 50% power, stirring after every 30 second interval. Spread over set fudge and sprinkle generously with toasted coconut. Lightly press the coconut down into the chocolate to be sure it sticks.


JAMMU, Aug 21: Despite large population of the state suffering from dental ailments, government has been ignoring dentistry and focusing on only creating new Government Medical Colleges in the State while hundreds of unemployed Bachelor of Dental Surgeons (BDS) were bearing brunt of Government's apathy.
Sources told Early Times that no post of dental surgeon has been advertised by the government during last ten years leaving many trained dentists unemployed.
"Despite knowing the fact that the need of dental care and its awareness has become important due to changing life style which has been affecting oral health of the today's generation, no dental service has been provided in primary health services. The rural population is more affected with oral diseases but Government is giving its total attention on creating new medical colleges and ignoring this important aspect of health care. The issue was put up before the Governor and he directed the Finance Department to find out ways to absorb the unemployed BDS but it has been more than two years since the matter is pending with Finance Department and undue delay is diminishing the hope of qualified professional youth.
Although these dejected unemployed youth lodged number of protests to fight for their rights but government has been paying no heed towards the plights of the unemployed BDS.
The unemployed dentists alleged that despite qualifying the same entrance test, the BDS are considered less important than MBBS. They said that there was need of dentists in the Primary Health Centers across the state where large number of patients were suffering from dental ailments, but government was not alive to the situation.


I used to fail in making bread of any kind.
The dozens of recipes I've tried yielded no results and at one point, I lost interest altogether. Seeing my mom kneading the dough and sweating all over only confirmed that bread making was a tedious and laborious effort.
Besides, why fret when bakeries can be found almost anywhere, meaning buns or artisan breads were only a drive away. So I gave up bread-making and stick to store-bought bread. The mixer I had was only meant for cakes and cookies.
And the dough hook sat in my kitchen drawer, spotless and untouched.
Something hit me one day. The smell of that wonderful aroma of bread permeated my entire kitchen, not once..but often. My neighour was baking bread...and I, being her sweet and loving neighbour surely got my share.

Crop circle conundrum – Mysterious Wiltshire.
Crop circles were revealed as a hoax almost 20 years ago, so why do so many people still flock to Wiltshire, convinced of their extraterrestrial powers?
The Barge indeed is Crop Circle Central – there's even Croppie ale for sale – and circle aficionados arrive to camp here from all over the world: in the visitors' book Kerry from Australia has written: 'Great crop circles! Great people!', while Miranda and Trond from Norway say: 'Great to be back at Croppie HQ!' No wonder an official at the Wiltshire Tourist Board tells me that they love crop circles; together with the numinous delights of Stonehenge and Avebury Rings they're the county's biggest draws.
Last year was a bumper year for fantastically elaborate, large crop formations – 70 or so, many within spitting distance of the Barge and one taking three nights to fully emerge – and in early August this year, more than 45 had been reported. And, remarkably, in June the scientific journal, Nature, ran a piece on them.
They've certainly lured a shaven-headed David Cheeseman down from Lewisham and he's sitting in the pub's back room, looking at photos of recent formations.
Mike and Sue are camping, too, and Sue is adamant. 'They're all man-made. And,' she says with a grin, 'there's fewer this year because of the recession; cutbacks have to be made everywhere.' That seems a bit unfair: 45 is a decent number, but it's true to say they're wider spread this year – possibly, one all-too-human circle-maker tells me, because the farmers near Honeystreet were miffed by last year's abundance.
For, yes, humans have laid claim to making almost every circle known about. But their beauty, complexity and mysteriousness are such that not everyone is persuaded that a group of soi-disant artists, moving through the fields at night with planks, tape measures and garden rollers, could create such glorious formations. Particularly when the first circle-makers to tell their tale to the media were two pint-loving sixtysomething watercolourists from Hampshire called Dave Chorley and Doug Bower.
More spiritually, they're documented by the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group, whose coordinator is a charming, softly spoken French-Canadian called Francine Blake. Their office, in Devizes, is stuffy and full of papers, so we speak in the car park; Francine – wavy, white hair, dark pink top, linen trousers – is excited because a new circle has been reported near Warminster: 'The first since 1998!' She has been studying the circles since 1989 and moved to Wiltshire in 1991, after a particularly beautiful, highly symbolic formation appeared at Barbury Castle.
In those pre-internet days, Francine only learnt of Barbury after it had been harvested – not for nothing are circles known as 'temporary temples' – and that prompted her move to Wiltshire. Now she and her 'six or so' staff send planes up to photograph the circles, publish a magazine called The Spiral and produce ravishing calendars of the best formations. She and her colleagues have also sent off soil samples from fields where formations have appeared to Defra's predecessor and to laboratories abroad.
As for mathematics, earlier this year a formation appeared at Wilton Windmill, which seemed like Euler's Identity, one of the most beautiful equations known to man. Alas, one mathematician pointed out that the formulation was so executed that its translation from binary code was altered from an 'i' to a 'hi', which could, the mathematician said, 'be somebody's idea of a joke'. Worse, the 'h' could be a nod to Planck's Constant – and planks are used by human circle-makers to create their formation.
But at least she'll be interviewed, unlike Michael Glickman, a long-term luminary of the circle scene, whose mathematical interpretations of the phenomena are far too abstruse for me. Instead, he lets rip with a majestic telephonic tirade. 'The media are stupid, narrow-minded, bigoted and boringly predictable. I want nothing more than sensible treatment of the most important event on planet Earth.
Lord Haddington, who's taken a keen and sympathetic interest in circles since the late Eighties, tells me he thinks all this year's are made by man; Francine disagrees and is certain that it's physically impossible for such work to be done in a short summer's night. So off she directs me to a recent circle near a Saxon flint church at Chisbury.
It's a five-pointed star, surrounded by five chevrons, 10 diamond shapes and 41 mini-circles – I'll later read, on Crop Circle Connector, that 'it seems to call our attention to a close conjunction between Planet Venus and the bright star Regulus in Leo'. It's gorgeous, though better in the photo, but I don't feel anything. And my tape recorder works.
Which doesn't surprise Rob Irving, the main author of The Field Guide: The Art, History and Philosophy of Crop Circle Making. It was to Irving that a Wiltshire policeman uttered the immortal line: 'I don't want to get involved in a philosophical discussion with you, sir, but they can't all be hoaxes.' Irving would take issue with the word 'hoax' because it presupposes that there are 'genuine' circles, though he does think it possible that weird winds may have brought about some circles.
Irving's a big fellow, with a bit of beard below his lip, greying hair and a black T-shirt. He's 53 and first got involved in the Croppie scene in '1990, 1991'. He started to make circles, he says, 'because people said it couldn't be done'. He'd gone to a talk about circles and the speaker, a 'field officer' for the Centre for Crop Circle Studies, had said: 'While we don't know what's creating circles, we know what isn't – and it's not humans.' He laughs.
Now he's a poacher turned gamekeeper, occasionally doing commercial circles for the likes of Mitsubishi, but essentially an artist and doctoral researcher into art and the landscape, which is, partly, what he sees crop circles as being about. As to their originators, Irving says, tongue only half in cheek, Doug Bower is 'the greatest artist of the 20th century – or the most provocative'.
Doug Bower? Well, it was he and Dave Chorley who swirled the first crop circle, back in 1976, after a few drinks at the Percy Hobbs, at Cheesefoot Head, near Winchester. They'd been talking about UFOs and the books by Arthur Shuttlewood, a journalist on the Warminster Times, about UFOs over Warminster and what his paper called the 'Warminster Thing'. Might it not be fun, they thought, to swirl some UFO landing pads of their own?
Cerelogogy, as crop circle study became known, was born. One researcher attributed the phenomenon to 'plasma vortices' – essentially wind effects that produced the swirling; and as Doug and Dave expanded their repertoire to incorporate straight lines and pictograms, so did the plasma vorticist expand his thesis. Others embraced more esoteric explanations, such as psychokinetic downloading from the collective unconscious, UFOs and higher intelligences. And the number of circles grew and grew, many of them 30 miles from Doug and Dave's patch, and highly complicated. Doug and Dave were clearly not alone.
Still, it was Doug and Dave who went public in 1991: Doug told television cameras that there was nothing like being in a field of English corn at two in the morning, after a few pints and some cheese rolls, stomping corn.
Interestingly, the ITN report on their self-disclosure said: 'This doesn't mean all the circles are fake. After all, one counterfeit coin doesn't make all coins counterfeit.' And, among some devoted cerelogists, it became accepted wisdom that 80 per cent were man-made and 20 per cent 'genuine'.
But a display of circle-making by a team of young engineers who won the 1992 International Crop Circle Making Competition was a revelation to the maverick biologist, Rupert Sheldrake: 'For flattening the crop, they used a roller consisting of a piece of PVC piping with a rope through it, pushing it with their feet. To get into the crop without leaving footprints, they used two lightweight aluminium stepladders with a plank between them, acting as a bridge. For marking out a ring, they used a telescopic device projecting from the top of an aluminium stepladder. A string was attached to the end of it in such a way that by holding the string and walking in a circle around this central position a perfect ring could be marked out without leaving any trace on the ground in the middle.' That's complicated kit.
The designs are marvellous: perhaps it's no wonder that, as Pilkington says, some cerelogists believe human 'circle makers are channels for a greater force and that some formations are made by divine intervention'. Certainly, when Pilkington has told people what he's done, he's got into near fights: people want to believe. Such antipathy has gone to extremes: according to one of their number, one group of circle-makers had 'potatoes stuck up their exhausts, wing mirrors ripped off our cars and threats of violence'.
We move back towards my car. A couple appears and the woman asks if we've been at the circle. They're Inga and Erik, and they're Dutch, over here to look at circles. They were at Chisbury yesterday, and it was perfect: they're very keen to see the Cley Hill formation. And what, I ask, do they think brought the circles into being?
Inga smiles, knowingly. 'You mean, are they man-made, or not?' She smiles again. 'That's mystic: that's a mystery.' And off they go, ready for a sense of wonder.
There are still some crop circles to view in the Wilthire area and Histouries UK will continue to offer private 'crop circle' tours.
Seeing is believing – the main crop circle saeson kinks off on May 2011 and contimues through to September 2011. Why not join a guided tour of Stonehenge and Avebury and experience a 'real' crop circle for yourself.

1962 TWA Terminal at JFK Airport
It's always commendable when a person creates something that will stand the test of time, and be considered just as remarkable in 50 years as it was when it was originally conceptualized. The TWA Flight Center is Eero Saarinen's impressively designed terminal at JFK Airport from 1962, a space that is still discussed and admired at length by modern architects.
The historic, beloved landmark has been off limits to the public since 2001, and it is now set to be redeveloped into a boutique hotel. But as a work of architecture, the TWA Flight Center serves as Saarinen's last building, as it was actually completed after his death in 1962. It's now a special place for architectural admiration, as it was an extraordinary and uniquely-designed structure. And since it is being re-purposed into a hotel, it's probable that some of the building's quirks will be utilized and kept intact for future hotel guests to enjoy and marvel at. [Via]

Q: What is Product Dating?
A: There are two main types of product dating, "open dating" and "closed dating".
Open dating is the dating used on products that specify "Best if used by". Open dating is used for recommendations of maximum freshness and peak nutritional value – it is not used as a safety date. These codes typically appear on meat, poultry, eggs, or dairy products.
Closed or coded dating isn't standardized across manufacturers. Some codes listed on products are the product codes, which are indecipherable to anyone outside a manufacturer. These codes typically appear on canned or boxed goods.
Q: Is Dating required by Federal Law?
A: Except for infant formula and some baby food, product dating is NOT required by Federal regulations.
Q: Are Retailers Allowed to Sell Products Beyond the Date on the Package?
A: Yes. As long as a product is wholesome, a retailer may legally sell grocery items including fresh or processed meat and poultry products beyond the date on the package.
A: Varies depending on the type of product. Many processed and packaged foods are shelf stable, which means that they do not require refrigeration until opened. Items that fit into this category are often referred to as "non-perishable" for these reasons. Their shelf life is evaluated in terms of the quality of the product. Food quality deals with taste, texture, color and nutritional value. Since the storage time for shelf stable foods is a quality issue and not a food safety concern, the FDA does not require an expiration date.
Q: What is a product's shelf life?
A: Canned food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Thanks to the high-heat process canned food goes through, it retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years. This process renders the canned goods commercially sterile. The goods may have some variation in quality, such as a change of color or texture, but food safety is not an issue in products kept on the shelf in moderate temperatures (75 degrees Fahrenheit and below). The acid content of the food and the lining of the can are important factors in a product's quality and appearance after long periods of storage.
Q: How Long Does Canned Food Remain Edible and Retain Its Nutritional Content?
A: Cans exhibit a packing code to enable tracking of the product in interstate commerce. This enables manufacturers to rotate their stock as well as to locate their products in the event of a recall. These codes, which appear as a series of letters and/or numbers, might refer to the date or time of manufacture. They aren't meant for the consumer to interpret as "use-by" dates. There is no book which tells how to translate the codes into dates.
Q: What do can codes mean?
A: Once a perishable product is frozen at proper temperatures, it does not matter if the date expires – food kept frozen continuously is safe indefinitely. Packaging is important to the quality and appearance of frozen foods. Products exposed to air can develop "freezer burn" which does not affect the safety of the product, but can impact taste and quality.
Q: What about frozen foods?

September 3 2020 Press Conference COVID-19 Update
September 4, 2020 COVID-19Bermuda, BERMUDA RED CROSS, COVID-19, Government, Press Conference, Updatewpadmin
BERMUDA GOVERNMENT SEPTEMBER 3rd PRESS CONFERENCE – MINISTER OF LABOUR
Good day members of the media and the listening public. Thank you for your attendance.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of Bermudians remain unemployed with hopes to return to the workforce. As we continue to imagine the future of Bermuda, the Ministry of Labour is pleased to inform the public of Phase One plans to swiftly reintegrate affected persons into the working community.
During this unprecedented time, the Ministry of Labour has committed to providing support to affected Bermudians; firstly through the Unemployment Benefit and further through Financial Assistance and the Supplementary Unemployment Benefit. However, we recognise that these provisions alone are not enough, nor are they a permanent solution to the unemployment challenges we face.
To this end, the Ministry of Labour is committed to putting Bermudians first and has prepared a comprehensive strategy to do so. The overarching objectives of this strategy are threefold: to reduce current unemployment, to prevent future unemployment, and to facilitate the ease of finding employment in Bermuda.
In alignment with these three objectives, the Ministry of Labour will employ the following strategies:
1. Establish Labour Policy that enables additional jobs to be available to Bermudians. These policies may include but are not limited to:
the establishment of formal MOUs with employers;
the institution of a moratorium on work permits for specific occupations categories;
the implementation of tax incentives for employers that employ Bermudians; and
assuring that unemployed and laid-off Bermudians are returned to work in a more equitable manner.
Facilitate Training and Development by providing reskilling and upskilling programmes. These programmes will equip Bermudians with job specific skills and prepare them for future opportunities. This strategy will be executed by the Department of Workforce Development who will:
engage with employers to identify current demand and future opportunity;
identify service providers to ensure the delivery of quality training and development; and
assess unemployed persons to ascertain the training necessary to reintroduce the high volume of unemployed Bermudians back into the workforce.
Build a Solid Partnership with the Bermuda College and encourage Bermudians to make use of specialised career-oriented programmes. Persons may enrol in a variety of trainings offered by the Division of Professional & Career Education, also known as PACE. These trainings cover a wide range of industries, from health and beauty to hospitality and entertainment.
The Department of Workforce Development will utilize the Bermuda College to provide on-demand training that is flexible, allowing it to respond to labour market requirements.
Utilise Professional Agencies to match talented workers to job opportunities in Bermuda. Not all employees require training, some just need access to opportunity. Professional employment agencies have an excellent track-record of connecting qualified Bermudians to hiring employers. We look forward to partnering with these agencies to ensure that Bermudians are able to return to work as quickly as possible.
Industry Sector Stakeholder Engagement will be the primary means to invite the business sector to operate as partners in identified occupations. Stakeholder focus group meetings have already begun with the Restaurant, Horticulture Landscape Gardening and Cleaning industries. Additionally, an industry- driven framework has been developed to collaborate with other industry sectors, with the aim to penetrate further into other occupational categories. The Government's intent is to work with industry experts to develop "mutual beneficial" training and re- employment opportunities for Bermudians.
The Ministry's plan for reemployment is inclusive of a Youth Employment Strategy that has been tailored to the identified needs of unemployed persons between the ages of 18 and 26. In addition to the aforementioned strategies, the Youth Employment Strategy features additional resources for youth that may be entering the workforce for the first time. These resources will primarily be offered through the Department of Workforce Development and include career advice, job market guidance, and assistance in identifying available financial resources to offset related costs.
These strategies are only the beginning of Government's commitment to reducing COVID-19 induced unemployment. As part of Phase One of the Reemployment Strategy targeted industry sectors include, but are not limited to:
– Cleaning (Industrial, Residential, and Commercial);
– Horticulture and Landscape Gardening;
– Restaurants; and
To date, there are approximately 1,000 positions in these sectors that are held by permit holders which we hope to return to Bermudians that are currently unemployed.
Speaking to Financial Assistance and the Supplementary Unemployment Benefit, it is important to note that all persons seeking or receiving the Benefit, or Assistance, are encouraged to continually utilise the career counselling services at the Department of Workforce Development. Trained counsellors will:
– meet with individuals one-on-one;
– review the applicant's eligibility for various services;
– provide the applicant with labour market information;
– develop a personalised reemployment plan; and
– provide additional services such as resume review and job application submission assistance.
Please be reminded that these services are not only available to persons seeking or receiving Financial Assistance or the Supplementary Unemployment Benefit. The Ministry strongly encourages all persons seeking work to visit the Department of Workforce Development and utilize their services.
The Ministry of Labour is committed to putting Bermudians first and looks forward to working with all relevant stakeholders to ensure the timely return of affected Bermudians to the workforce.

It would have been nice, wouldn't it? Perhaps not if you're a one-eyed fan of Liverpool's nearest rivals, but Brendan Rodgers' side almost pulled off the most daring title heist of the Premier League era, doling out a hefty portion of nostalgia to fans aged 30 and over into the bargain.
You couldn't have seen this coming in August. Luis Suarez, suspended for the first five league games, had spent his pre-season angling to leave and pouting through the club's tour of Australia. Daniel Sturridge stepped up to the mark, scoring three 1-0 winners in as many matches, but defeats to Southampton and, later, Arsenal suggested Liverpool would come up short too often against decent opposition. That feeling heightened over Christmas when, with Sturridge sidelined, they suffered narrow 2-1 reverses at Manchester City and Chelsea, seemingly ruling out any serious title pretensions.
Not so. Back they came and, confidence rocketing after nine goals in consecutive home games against Everton and Arsenal, Liverpool ran riot during the Spring. Suarez and Sturridge freewheeled their way to goal 56 times between them during the season in a partnership that variously appeared telepathic and gloweringly soloist, while Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson proved their worth as the two most dramatically improved players in the division.
It all seemed to have come together beautifully, and poignantly, when Manchester City were beaten 3-2 at Anfield two days before the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster but, with Steven Gerrard urging his team-mates that they couldn't "f*****g let this slip now," the sneaking fear was that, when their run did come to its natural halt, they'd do just that.
It did, and they did. Gerrard's slip – yes, slip – let in Chelsea's Demba Ba and the title was City's to lose, all-but confirmed when Rodgers' men lost a 3-0 lead at Crystal Palace. In the end Liverpool's football, impossibly exhilarating at its best, lacked the defensive control needed to complete the fairytale, while Rodgers' summer signings – Simon Mignolet comfortably the best, despite concerns over his aerial strength – didn't contribute enough to the squad's depth. Even so, they've set themselves an almighty standard now.
Absolutely. After an exhaustingly Suarez-orientated summer, Liverpool fans were simply looking forward to watching some progressive football. Few foresaw what followed.
Yes. As February dawned – without serious transfer-window strengthening, despite a dogged chase of Yevhen Konorplyanka – the Reds were seven points off leaders Manchester City; confirming a Champions League berth would have done nicely.
Thrashings of Everton and Spurs (twice) and a 3-0 win at Manchester United, sitting ducks though the latter may have been, all stake good claims, as does the optimism and emotion around what seemed a decisive triumph over City. But a whirlwind of a lunchtime on February 8 was the one that suggested Liverpool might just make a proper title tilt. Arsenal, eight points ahead of Rodgers' men at this stage, were blown away by a velocity of football rarely witnessed since their own 'Invincibles' were in their pomp. Liverpool could have added more than one goal to their opening four if they'd felt the need, and the platform was set for a run of 11 wins that nearly took them all the way.
This one isn't difficult. A win at Palace in their penultimate game would have piled the pressure back on City, with little to be taken for granted in this of all campaigns. Liverpool went 3-0 up unfussily but, rather than locking things down after Damien Delaney's deflected riposte, persisted with a pointless goal-difference chase that left most of the team stranded when Dwight Gayle scored another. Then, when Martin Skrtel stepped out suicidally to prevent Glenn Murray's chest pass to an unattended Gayle, the denouement was predictable in painful slow motion. You almost – almost – felt for a teary Suarez at the end.
It has to be Rodgers. During a steady enough first season as Anfield, there had been a growing eagerness to subvert the Northern Irishman's image as an innovator; it didn't take long for the moniker 'Brenton' to become common currency and for sidesplitting lists of his -isms to spring up on the internet. While Rodgers' critics can rightly point to the rough edges still obvious in his side, the joke has well and truly been on them this term: few Premier League managers in recent times have sent a team this dynamic and spontaneous out to play.
Steven Gerr....no, no, that would just be unfair. There aren't too many contenders, but perhaps Rodgers would have expected more from one or two of his summer signings. A semblance of support from £7.7m Iago Aspas would have been useful on the rare occasions, such as that Chelsea defeat, when Suarez and Sturridge were subdued – but as Liverpool scrambled for a vital equaliser, his headline-grabber was the arrowing of an oh-so-clever injury-time corner straight into the path of Willian.
Two rollercoaster away wins against lesser opponents – January's 5-3 victory over Stoke and the 6-3 humbling of Cardiff two months later – sum things up nicely, and the former perhaps said it best. Liverpool went two up and were pegged back to 2-2, before Suarez and Sturridge combined brilliantly to send the game beyond the hosts' reach – but not before another late scare. Rodgers' side had goals for and against in them at all times; you never quite knew when a flurry was due at either end, but they usually came out in credit.
A. It might seem like scant consolation after a crushing final couple of weeks, but Liverpool had an outstanding season and played the most exciting football the Premier League has seen in years.

6) Is it only about money?
When I was a "Mayo Clinic resident" I had asked Dr. Sanford J. Finck what had been the cause of my problems and he had told me that my stomach was in the wrong place and had been punctured accidentally. Anyone can make a mistake, indeed, in my lifetime I've made few myself, including, many may say, believing the Mayo Clinic's advertising, so I told him I wasn't going to sue or do anything about it and we had shaken hands on it. And I kept my word. Subsequently, I learned from the Iranian surgeon who was eventually able to correct the consequences of the Mayo Clinic's mistake that my stomach was in the normal place and that I had been misinformed by the Mayo Clinic surgeon Dr. Sanford J Finck. Of course, it may be that the Mayo Clinic surgeon who punctured my stomach was so incompetent that he really did think it was in the wrong place.
When the bills to repair my abdomen started arriving it dawned on me that it was unfair that I should have to pay the cost (after insurance) of rectifying the Mayo Clinic's mistake. I paid the Mayo Clinic every penny I owed them (after insurance) except for the element I had to pay (after insurance) the other hospital for correcting the results of the Mayo Clinic's mistake. I contacted the Mayo Clinic asking them to forego the balance. I found dealing with the administrative side of the Mayo Clinic to be an extremely tedious and frustrating process. Variously their record of answering letters and returning telephone calls was haphazard. Calling them was frustrating in that one seldom spoke to the same person twice which meant that with each new person one had to start over again.
Eventually the Mayo Clinic agreed to cancel the element of the expenditure I had incurred as a consequence of their error and sent me a letter together with a release (to see the Mayo Clinic's letter, signed by Roseanna D. Arey, Patient Administrative Liaison, and the release, please click the link below*). However, when the release arrived it included terms and conditions that had neither been discussed nor agreed. These included, inter-alia, a muzzle clause and a requirement that my wife sign it as well as me and that the signatures be notarized. I remonstrated with the Mayo Clinic and they sent me another release but they only deleted the requirement that my wife sign it.
So I told the Mayo Clinic that as they had shifted the goal posts on me I also felt entitled to move them. I said that since inserting drain tubes must be a common procedure following surgery, I would sign the release if they would give me an assurance that in future they would take precautions to ensure that what had happened to me wouldn't happen to another poor wretch. I noted that when inserting the second set of drain tubes the Mayo Clinic had guided them in by X-Ray so such precautions are feasible. From then on, despite repeated attempts to get a response, I never heard another word from the Mayo Clinic.
In Florida a suit for medical malpractice has to be brought within two years. No doubt, the Florida medical industry, during a vociferous campaign to frighten the Florida public and legislature about losing doctors due to the high cost of malpractice insurance, spent and contributed more than did the trial attorneys. Then, wouldn't you know, after the statute of limitations for bringing a medical malpractice suit had run out, I started getting demands for payment of the balance. Then the Mayo Clinic started hawking the account around various debt collection agencies. I would write to the agencies with photographs and details of what the Mayo Clinic had done to me. They would express their sympathy and drop the matter. Indeed, one expressed outrage at the way the Mayo Clinic had treated me.
Then the Mayo Clinic happened upon a collection agency: Accelerated Receivables Management, Inc., (ARM) of Jacksonville, Florida, who, apparently, are made of sterner stuff than were the others. Perhaps ARM wanted to ingratiate themselves with the Mayo Clinic or just needed the element of the commission or fee they'd collect from the Mayo Clinic more than the others did? Anyway, they sued me.

Youtube SEO for Business Is An Imperative Skill In The Era Of Internet
By Dazeinfo
The Internet has taken the world by storm ever since its advent. It has revolutionized many processes and industries. The Internet has had a remarkable impact on the way business is conducted as well. Traditionally, marketing and selling of products were limited to the marketing and sales teams that tried conventional garnering people's attention. But nowadays, most of the marketing is done online, and many companies are adopting the online model of business to reach a wider audience and boost their sales.
This has increased the importance of learning content writing for business entrepreneurs. More importantly, entrepreneurs need to learn the tricks of optimizing the content for it to become searchable and visible for as many of the target audience members worldwide as possible. In this article, we discuss the myriad of ways Youtube helps entrepreneurs establish and grow their business.
Youtube: Motivational Force for Entrepreneurs
Youtube is unarguably a very powerful medium for exposure. It is recognized, used, and liked by millions of people all over the world every single day. It gives an ordinary individual power to reach out to the masses from the comfort of his/her home. This is one of the most important reasons why Youtube has become important for establishing and flourishing business.
Many entrepreneurs choose their business journey after getting attention and success from Youtube. Their viewers and subscribers encourage them to establish a proper platform where their products and services can be purchased. Therefore, the importance of learning Youtube SEO becomes obvious and easily understandable.
Youtube helps entrepreneurs in multiple ways. To begin with, entrepreneurs find a free platform for advertisement of their products and services. They can tell the viewers about their specialties and how their products and services can be purchased. So the need to pay a marketing and sales agency is obviated.
Entrepreneurs get recognition by making videos. Traditionally, people or the target audience only knows the team that interacts with them for the sales of products and services. Unlike this trend, entrepreneurs become leaders and celebrities because the public knows them and starts loving and following them on multiple social media platforms.
The Rising Trend of Marketing Through Youtube Channels
Many content creators provide their contact numbers in the videos and the description for business purposes. So a customer who wants to buy an essay is more likely to call an English expert trainer and content creator he/she knows from Youtube rather than placing an order on a new and unknown website. Entrepreneurs benefit from Youtube channels in the following ways:
Earning from the monetized channels
Sales of products and services
Getting fame and acknowledgment
Business managers can easily expand the business and diversify their products and services once they get a successful Youtube channel. It is very difficult for a beginner to have a channel monetized and popular. However, it is very easy for someone who already has a successful channel. The entrepreneur can simply tell the audience about a new channel that showcases a new kind of product or service, and most subscribers and viewers of the first channel are likely to subscribe to the news channel. So the benefits of having a successful Youtube channel for a business entrepreneur are multifarious.
This imparts a need for business managers to learn Youtube SEO. Most of the learning about Youtube SEO happens through experience. Unfortunately, there are very few opportunities for business entrepreneurs to learn Youtube SEO from a proper institution. Most people learn by trying new things and experimenting with the tricks.
Learning Youtube SEO Is Imperative Now
When it comes to learning Youtube SEO, an obvious technique followed by most online entrepreneurs is watching the videos of Youtube content creators on this subject. However, this does not promise comprehensive learning because many content creators have just basic knowledge. The tips and tricks they suggest may or may not work.
Youtube entrepreneurs try experimenting with different keywords, topics, tags, and description texts. They also try copying the tags and descriptions of the most popular videos on the subject. However, doing so may or may not make a video popular. Nevertheless, only those content creators are likely to succeed who constantly keep trying and experimenting with ideas.
This imparts a need for entrepreneurs to learn Youtube SEO properly. The right combination of titles, tags, and descriptions can bring millions of views, and they can translate into a flourished business for the content creator. Schools and colleges should train the students on SEO copywriting to create discoverable content on the Internet.

Fra Angelico, Fra F. Lippi - VM - James Romaine
Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi: The Adoration of the Magi
The Shape of Adoration
by James Romaine
This beautiful painting of The Adoration of the Magi, from the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., was begun by Fra Angelico and principally painted by Fra Filippo Lippi. Although scholars have not conclusively identified which of these artists is responsible for each figure within the painting, we can recognize a distinction of visual language in comparing the Virgin Mary and her husband Joseph. Mary's face has a serene, almost otherworldly, continence that we find in other depictions of the Virgin by Fra Angelico. But Joseph has the particular features of an individual, this reflects a method developed by Fra Lippi.
One of the immediately striking aspects of this depiction of the arrival of the magi to worship the infant Christ is the painting's shape. This type of circular painting is called a tondo. The tondo format became particularly popular in 15th-century Florentine art. Working in the tondo format challenges the artist to adapt their composition into a circular shape. However, Fra Angelico and Fra Lippi have turned this problem to their own advantage. They have masterfully employed the tondo shape to propel the viewer's eye around the circumference of their composition, thus following the journey of the magi.
As the tondo shape of this painting causes the viewer's eye to travel around the image, this work takes the viewer on a visual journey. By the time that this movement of the viewer's eye, which is directed by the relationship created between the tondo shape and the compositional design, arrives at the figures of the magi worshiping Christ, the viewer has developed a sense of being spiritually unified with the magi. Having been made to identify with the magi, it is then a natural step for the viewer to join them in worshiping Christ.
The adoration of the magi was a very popular subject in 15th-century Florentine art. As one of the most frequently depicted biblical motifs in early renaissance art, the magi could have had several potential social and spiritual meanings. However, this painting's shape might indicate how and for what purpose a 15th-century Florentine viewer might have looked at it. The tondo format was often employed in paintings made for devotional use. This tondo might have encouraged the viewer to contemplate the Adoration of the Magi as a devotional subject. Furthermore, the infant Christ's eternal majesty is symbolically visualized by the circle's perfect form.
As kings who have traveled a great distance to worship the infant Jesus, the magi are spiritual pilgrims in search of the perfect king. The worship of the infant Jesus by royalty from exotic kingdoms could have symbolized the recognition of Christ's divinity by the whole world. However, Fra Lippi's Adoration of the Magi is not only a depiction of figures in the act of worship. This beautiful painting is not intended, simply, for passive enjoyment. The magi are role models of Christian devotion. The painting's tondo form could have encouraged a Florentine viewer to actively join the magi in devotion. This tondo image of the magi worshiping the infant Christ was designed to inspire the viewer's own spiritual imagination. It unifies iconography, shape, and purpose.
If Fra Lippi depicted magi as spiritual pilgrims in search of their perfect king, the tondo format further reinforced the faith of Christ as incarnate deity. Since antiquity artists have employed the circle as an ideal form that represents eternity. In a painting that depicts earthly kings bowing down before the infant Jesus, this form, which has no point of beginning or ending, fittingly visualizes this child as the eternal king. As a material visualization of perfection it is an ideal shape for a work of art that celebrates Christ as God incarnate in human form.
This brilliant tondo hangs like a halo in the gallery. It demonstrates how the shape of a painting can inform our interpretation of the subject depicted. This circular image depicts the magi as models of spiritual devotion and envisions Christ as the eternal focus of their adoration.
Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi: The Adoration of the Magi, c. 1440/1460, tempera on poplar panel, diameter 137.3 cm. National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., USA.
Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455) was one of the principal painters of the Early Renaissance in Florence. He is first recorded as a painter in 1417, and at about the same time became a novice at the Friary of San Domenico at Fiesole near Florence, where he mainly lived, eventually becoming Prior. Christ Glorified in the Court of Heaven is the predella from an altarpiece made for the Friary. By about 1430 Fra Angelico had been influenced by the work of early pioneers of the Renaissance in Florence, particularly the sculpture of Ghiberti. He used new realism and impression of volume to define figures, as well as linear perspective to define space in his own more contemplative art. Fra Angelico is most famous for the frescoes he painted after 1436 in the Dominican friary of San Marco in Florence, whose rebuilding was supported by Cosimo de Medici. https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/artists/fra-angelico
Fra Filippo Lippi (c. 1406-1469) 'was gracious and ornate and exceedingly skillful; he was very good at compositions and at variety, at colouring, relief, and in ornaments of every kind,' wrote Cristoforo Landino in 1480; his comment remains a valid assessment of Fra Filippo's style. Fra Filippo's pictures were popular in Florence and he was actively supported by the Medici family, who commissioned the pictures of The Annunciation and The Seven Saints. As an orphan Filippo was sent to the Carmelite friary in Florence. But he was not temperamentally suited to be a friar. His life is a tale of lawsuits, complaints, broken promises and scandal. Fra Filippo's fame as a painter spread beyond his native Florence and he spent long periods painting fresco cycles in Prato and Spoleto, where he died. In 1456 he abducted a nun, Lucrezia Buti, from the convent in Prato where he was chaplain. He was finally permitted to marry her. Their son Filippino was later taught in Lippi's workshop, as was Botticelli. Lippi's early style is based on that of Masaccio but he later moved towards more richly decorative and lyrical effects. https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/artists/filippino-lippi

HYBRID SMARTWATCH WEARABLE TECH NEWS
Withings Steel HR update brings smarts from Steel HR Sport
OS2 update adds improved notification support and more
Wednesday November 7, 2018
Withings has rolled out a free software update, bringing some of the new features we saw introduced on the Withings Steel HR Sport to the regular Steel HR.
The OS2 update adds connected GPS support to the hybrid smartwatch, so you can piggyback off your phone's GPS to map your routes and combine with pace, distance and elevation data. There's also now multi-sport tracking, which means you can select from 30 sports from the watch and get continuous heart rate tracking for that session.
Essential reading: Best smartwatches to buy right now
Additional new features include smarter notification support, so you can receive notifications from third-party apps on top of call, text, email and event notifications. Last up is for the sleep tracking lovers, with the hybrid now serving up a Sleep Score, assessing the duration, depth, regularity and interruptions during the night.
With the arrival of this update, you might be wondering why you'd opt for the Steel HR Sport when the Steel HR can pretty much offer the same features for less money. From a design point of view, the Steel HR comes with a 36mm or 40mm case, while the Steel HR Sport is only available in a 40mm option. On the software front, it looks like the fitness level assessment (via the VO2 Max estimation) is the only extra you get, if you opt for the more expensive HR Sport.
We reviewed the Steel HR before Withings co-founder Éric Carreel bought back the company he sold to Nokia, and when it was still rocking the name of the Finnish tech company. We were big fans of the stylish hybrid smartwatch, and with these new features, it's made the hybrid an even more attractive prospect for those who don't want to go all in on a touchscreen smartwatch like the Apple Watch or the Fitbit Versa.

Q: Visualizing a Business Object's history My current project has business objects that change over time. The objects can have future changes as well as past changes. One of my tasks is to create viewers and editors for these objects that let the user see its state at any point in the past or future.
The changes are fairly simple: one or more property values changed/will change on a certain date.
I'd like to give the user a simple way to see this. At minimum I need to allow the user to roll forward and back through the object's history. I'd also like to show the previous/next values (if any) of each property if I could do that without getting too cluttered or distracting. And finally, it would be cool if there was some visual way to show the complexity of the object's history, e.g., a "timeline" or something.
This is C# 3.5 on Windows forms or WPF.
All ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
One more thing: are there any patterns or best practices for coding objects with a time dimension?
Thanks again.

A: A few thoughts which may or may not help, since I think I'm sort of projecting my own projects onto your questions...
If the data is numerical, consider graphical representation using a charting component. Users love charts.
I work a lot with time data that can be revised over time. So imagine you have a case of beer, and you're planning on it's consumption over the week. As you go through the week and measure your actual consumption, you may need to revise your plan for the rest of the week:
alt text http://www.sulix.com/beergraph.png
so the earlier assumptions get skinnier and lighter as they recede in time. Of course, depending on the nature of your data, this may not apply.
If you haven't already, check out the visualization books by Tufte. They're useful for spurring thoughts. Especially nice is The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
Also if the time dimension is strong, use UTC to avoid issues surrounding Daylight Saving Time (assuming you're in a location where it's in effect). Converting to "local time" in the UI is easier than trying to store it and account for DST.
As for best practices for coding time-series data, I think it depends heavily on their nature. If they're more typical "business" entities (like a person) then I'd store the versioned data in the DB, and in your DAL provide a way to fetch an object with an "As Of Datetime" parameter, so you can see what it looked like at a certain time. If on the other hand they're something like hourly traffic counts on a street, it would probably make more sense to have a "street" object which has a collection of "daily traffic counts".

A: In general, what you're talking about is having a "meta-object"; that is, some object which keeps track of your business objects and which provides a consistent way to query for past and current values of state.  In general, this involves having a strong data description of your "business objects", which really turns them into business data.  Effectively, what you're talking about is simply migrating what you consider to be "business objects" into the "business data" end of things.  It's certainly possible; I'd suspect that just this change in perspective may assist you with the process.

A: I think one of the cleanest examples of what your trying to accomplish can be found right here at stackoverflow. Viewing the history of your answer edits.

Women doctors, WW1 and Somers	Rod Nuske
In the late 1930s and 1940s, Associate Professor of Engineering, Edward Brown, his doctor wife Vera, and their children Edward and Catherine, were able to enjoy holidays in their weekend home in Haven Street, Somers. As to why this could be of interest to Somers residents eighty years later has been brought about by a recent news item, 'Victorian women doctors recognised for WWI effort'. It described how six Melbourne women previously unrecognised for their work as doctors during World War I, will finally have their contributions acknowledged. A plaque honouring their work has been installed at Melbourne's Welsh Church.
One of these doctors was Vera Scantlebury Brown, who would have had much need of the peace and quiet in the seaside at Somers. Vera was born in 1889 in the Victorian country town of Linton, where her father was the local doctor. With her decision to study medicine, and with the help of her parents, she enrolled in medicine at the University of Melbourne and qualified in 1913. At that time in Australia there were 140 female doctors and approximately 1,000 male doctors. Vera was appointed the Senior Resident Medical Officer at the Children's Hospital from 1915 to 1917, at which time close to a third of the Australian medical community had already enlisted. Vera also was determined to serve her country. She paid her own way (£129) to England in 1917 and was given a position as assistant surgeon at the Endell Street Military Hospital in London despite the prevailing belief, at the time, that women were too delicate to handle the complexities of war injuries. This hospital had been established by the suffragettes, but came under the Royal Army Medical Corp. Vera carried out many operations over the two years that she was there. The hospital had 570 beds; a staff of female surgeons, nurses and orderlies attended to 26,000 patients suffering from the most hideous injuries and the effects of poison gas.
On her return to Australia Vera and other female doctors found that the male doctors were given preference for hospital appointments, but she was able to obtain the position of resident medical officer at the Women's Hospital and a number of honorary appointments.
Vera developed a special interest in the health of women and children and was appalled in what she found. In 1924 she travelled to the USA, Canada and New Zealand to study their infant welfare systems. In 1926 the Victorian Government asked her and associate Dr Henrietta Main to make a study of the welfare of women and children. It is hard to believe now, but at this time, the infant mortality rate was 65 per 1000 live births, which is the current rate in third world countries like Pakistan and Swaziland.
Vera was appointed as the director of infant welfare in the Department of Health. But as a mother with two infant children she could only be employed on a part-time basis. Despite this limitation, Vera very patiently and diplomatically pioneered structured antenatal and postnatal care, expanding this to include older children. She then instituted compulsory training for nurses employed in this field and successfully secured funding for infant welfare clinics. I remember my wife taking our children over to the Somers Preschool Centre where there was a room dedicated for use by the visiting nurse.
Her department was the first Australian Maternal and Child Health service and would have been instrumental in the lowering of the mortality rate to its present 3.9 infant deaths per thousand live births, which is one of the lowest in the world. In 1938 the Australian Association of Pre-school Child Development was established together with the Lady Gowrie Child Centres. The splendid work carried out in these centres in all states was largely the result of Dr Scantlebury Brown's efforts. In the same year her work was acknowledged with an OBE.
Finally, in 1944 she added preschools to the Dept of Infant Welfare responsibilities.

Sadly Vera passed away in 1946 from cancer, after a life time dedicated to the care of others and in particular that of mothers and children. Today we accept the fact that mothers and their children are so well cared for without a thought of the work done by such people as Dr Vera Scantlebury Brown.
In 1946, the Vera Scantlebury Brown Child Welfare Memorial Trust was initiated as an annual travelling scholarship. In 2016 it will provide up to $6,000 for female applicants working in the areas of prenatal, children and family health and well being. I feel sure that Vera would have been well pleased by this assistance for young women intending to work in the area to which she dedicated most of her career.

Welcome to Somers Paper Nautilus	…inclusiveness and openness, catering for a diversity of views without rancour
Somers is a seaside village community located south of Melbourne on Westernport Bay in the Mornington Peninsula Shire. With a mix of sandy beaches, rockpools and tidal flats, Somers is popular for sailing, skiffle boarding and beachcombing. The cliffs of Somers have spectacular views to Phillip Island and the Nobbies.
Looking after our beach nesting Plovers	Roger Richards
If you go down to the mouth of Coolart Creek at fairly low tide you may encounter the little Red-capped Plovers as I did on Monday 25 May when I saw six. Fortunately at this time of year with fewer people on the beach, there is less pressure on this charismatic little beach-nesting bird. I think it is quite amazing and special that they still come to this spot when there is so much human activity.
You can watch them feeding for hours as they rush along the water's edge, then stop abruptly, before darting forward again. Unlike most plover species, the male is distinct from the female with a more rufous head.

Somers – why we came here	Kevin Close
Williams Point
We came; we saw; we were conquered!
We loved the dolphins playing with a dog the day we saw this house. We holidayed at Shoreham for years until the winters without power became bleak and we moved to Flinders. On retirement our permanent option was our dream home at Mt Martha but rising costs killed that. An inspection at Somers, a walk on the beach and we were hooked.

Secret men's business	Rod Nuske
The Secret Men's Business group of the Probus Club of Balnarring spent an intriguing afternoon at the airfield of Westernport Model Aircraft Club in Crib Point. There were about 30 or so members of the club putting their aircraft through their paces with incredible skill.
The Nautilus name is derived from a local surface-dwelling relative of the octopus called the Paper Nautilus. The female creates a delicately beautiful papery shell to surround her whilst she broods her eggs. Discarded shells of this amazing animal frequently wash up on the Somers beach after storms.

Let me know when the latest issue is ready.


Now, we learn of tribes of Israel opening the door to the enemy of good and right because of their fear of iron chariots and horses; and due to their own weaknesses and lack of faith in God. I do not mean to judge Israel. I find in them the same weakness in myself in dealing with my own enemies within. The horse and chariot was a fierce and very powerful weapon of that day; maybe the most feared and most powerful.
Because of the failure of Israel – in this case the tribe of Manasseh – to drive out, conquer, and destroy the Canaanites they opened the door to allowing their evil (the evil of Canaan) into their own lives, homes, camps, and families.
The point of all of this is that we must work to conquer the enemy. It is a daily struggle. The enemy is not our neighbor. We must fight the enemy of Christ Jesus. That is the devil, Satan, who seeks to steal, to kill, and to destroy all that is righteous, holy, and good. Our fight must begin within our own hearts and minds and lives.
Before we begin to look around for an enemy; let us (those of us who profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior) first look within, and deal with our won sins, our own evil that we have refused to deal with, and put it away. Too much of the time we have buddied up to the devil and opened the door and let him walk in with his evil schemes. Let us wake up.
Let us believe we can defeat him. Believe the Word of God. Let us pray. Let us fight evil within first. It must begin at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17).

.......... ............... www.tricountynews.mn A I I2 1 B ~ T .JL l-~ljr l ", .L ~.J October 20, 2016 By Jean Doran Matua, Editor At its Oct. 4 meeting, the South Haven city counil voted unan- imously to place unpaid water/ sewer/garbage/recycling bills onto the owner's property taxes as a special assessment, plus 10 per- cent interest. This included one commercial property and four residential properties; no one attended the meeting with any grievances on their accounts. The council approved up to $2,000 to purchase an AED (auto- mated external defibrillator), peds key, cabinet, and supplies, for installation at city hall. Fire Relief plans to donate these funds. A number of fix-up projects are under way in town: parking lot, streets and alleys, tree removal, repairs at the post office, street light repairs. The next regular meeting of the South Haven City Council will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1. next Hwy. 22 By Jean Doran Matua, Editor The city is preparing for another big highway project, this time Highway 22 between Eden Valley and Litchfield. An open house is scheduled from 4:30- 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at Eden Valley City Hall. The project, which is scheduled for 2018, will be explained by MnDOT and oth- ers. The city adopted new admin- istrative fines. Specifically, they added a $65 general parking ticket that wasn't already part of the city's fees. There was discussion about groups using the Event Center (in the library building), and who needs to pay and who doesn't need to pay. There was no conclusion reached. The city has a problem with paper towels and non-degrading paper clogging the lift station in the Industrial Park, and they have the photos to prove it after televis- ing the lines. "It's never been so dirty," said public works director Jim Rademacher. Everything else clogs the lines. Grease is a problem in that same area, too. They are investigating to find the source of the problems, Rademacher emphasizes that only three things can safely be flushed down the toilet: pee, poo, and (toilet) paper. No Kleenex, baby wipes, or medicines. The council has scheduled a work session for 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, to work on ordinance cod- ification. The results of this project will be a streamlined collection of ordinances, updated and not redundant. A tentative date for the Holiday Train to stop in Eden Valley is Sunday, Dec. 11 (most likely late at night again). The next regular meeting of the Eden Valley City Council will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2. Another meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, to canvass the Nov. 8 election. By lean Doran Matua, Editor At its Oct. 13 meeting, the Watkins city council contin- ued to deal with several private properties within city limits that were identified by the council for inspection and/or clean-up. One property owner addressed the council about his property, clarifying exactly which items need to be moved or removed from his yard. Progress had already been made, and he will continue to work on it before the snow flies. The city was advised to get additional photos and descrip- tion of what needs to go at one property. The clean-up letter from the city were unable to be deliv- ered to another property owner. Yet another with multiple issues was invited to the Oct. 13 meeting but did not attend; they have until Nov. 5 to complete a shed for which they obtained a permit a year ago. The city is waiting for legal advice on one property, and waiting for clean-up on another. They also discussed various properties that may need to be added to the list for campers, building materials left idle in the yard, and more. It is an ongoing issue that the council will continue to move forward with. The solar garden contract has finally been approved by all parties. The city's street lights are owned by Xcel Energy, so would not come under this agreement. in all, seven cit~ ~roperties would come under {Ix solar garden agreement and each will have its own contract. (The agreement with Geronimo Energy could save the city about $2,100/year on electricity for the 25 years of the contracted "subscription." The city will tie into an existing solar garden, or one about to be built; there will be no solar panels installed in Watkins as part of this agreement.) The council tabled decision on increasing water and sewer rates until they can look into average usage by households in Watkins, and to study what future needs may be for equipment mainte- nance and upgrades. The Joint Water Board has suggested an increase in water rates to reflect the increase in what the city pays for its water. The last increase was in November 2009. They are considering an increase of 50 cents per thousand gallons. The council also tabled discus- sion of credit/debit card processing until they can review the contract proposed by GovPayNet. There would be no cost to the city, as those using the system to pay water bills, for instance, would pay an extra fee for the convenience if they choose to use it. The council approved purchas- ing an additional fire-proof file for the office as the current one is full (cost about $1,950). Publicly accessible inter- net has been discussed for the pool and found to not be feasible. Information was obtained about providing the Same service from city hall, and it was determined that it was not needed at this time. The city will replace the remaining four overhead doors in back of city hall; some of these doors are from the early 1980s and are long overdue for replace- ment. They will look into getting a service contract to maintain them as well. Michel's Underground is digging and boring along Highway 55 (on the north side) to install a gas main, from the Watkins city sign in the east westward up to about 657th Street. The line will go through city utilities, and it's ~- hoped that they come through unscathed (they are marked). The Meeker County Sheriff's report was that things were quiet in Watkins last month: 29 calls for September 2016. The council unanimously approved renewing the policing contract with Meeker County for Jan. 2017 through Dec. 2018. The council unanimously approved the 2 a.m. Liquor License for Gordies Bar. The Planning Commission noted that there were some post-tornado issues with non- conforming building materials, but these have been resolved.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Amarillo District is proposing improvements to I-27 in Randall County, from north of Western Street in Amarillo to south of the US 60 Interchange which is north of Canyon. The proposed improvements consist of adding capacity to a freight corridor by widening from 4-mainlanes to 6-mainlanes, improving ramps and frontage roads, reconstructing and improving the vertical clearance on grade separations. The project is approximately 8.8 miles in length. .
The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce congestion and improve mobility and safety by providing additional roadway capacity. Additionally, this project is proposed to meet future traffic demands due to population growth and increased traffic volumes within Amarillo and in the connection to Canyon. This project is on the Amarillo MPO's priority list of projects.
Provide ADA accommodations, shared use lanes and sidewalks (where applicable), throughout the project corridor.
ROW – Right-Of-Way needs to be determined. Expected minimal needs at the grade separations.


Experience The Thrill Of A High Speed, High Energy, Track Environment.
Staff was exceptionally helpful and pleasant. Safety was paramount but loads of fun and education. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys any element of high performance driving or automobiles. Two of the best days of my life!
It was an exhilarating experience! A great and safe way to enjoy being on the race track.
I had such an amazing time driving Azul's cars. They provided a great and comfortable environment throughout the whole event.
1st time ride along on a track and it was a great, comfortable and safe experience. Great to talk with the driver as well to learn about engine response and steering.
Fun, safe, and very entertaining.
What a blast! TV can never capture the experience. You have to be in the cockpit to appreciate the G-forces, the power, and the skill required to quickly negotiate a challenging road course. When can I go again?!
I have always been a fan of racing but never had the chance to be on a race track. I cannot describe how thrilling it was to be on track with other cars, feeling the forces in the turns and hearing the engine scream as we blasted down the straights.
At first, I did not know what to expect, but zooming through the track and maneuvering on tight curves on a real race track was an experience that is hard to forget. Even cooler was when a video of the race complete with a dashboard of race metrics like time and speed was shared. Azul Motorsports has an inside grip on a cool and memorable experience that is well worth it.
I LOVED the ride today! It was my very first time and it was much better than I imagined it would be. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
Wow! What a terrific experience. Acceleration and cornering were unbelievable.
Putting on the headgear with the in helmet speakers so we could communicate with the driver was a nice touch. Getting up to 140 mph and then hitting the high performance breaks to get us down to 70 mph to take the curves makes you feel like a "Top Gun" pilot . I simply had a blast!
It was amazing! Incredible experience. Puts any other ride to shame!
The most fun I have had in a car. It gave me a whole new perspective on racing and just how much skill it takes to drive fast.
Being on any track is a great experience. Being on Road Atlanta in a Corvette with an experienced driver makes it even better. Everyone needs to do this more than once.
I had an awesome experience. This was my first time in a race car and not only enjoyed my time, but also appreciated that I was given excellent instruction.
Super fast and a lot of fun!
The track experience is very cool and different from any other afternoon excursion! The driver is a knowledgeable and safe driver. I would recommend the ride-along to anyone looking for a new perspective on driving!
The Ride-Along experience with Azul Motorsports was exciting to say the least. The driver's confidence allowed me to feel as if we were on the edge of the performance curve. Bucket list item, done.
This was an amazing first experience for me. The instructor did an amazing job driving and making the entire ride memorable.
It went from courteous and friendly to my head being pinned back in the seat on the track. Great experience!
This was an 'ah' mazing experience. I have loved to race and go fast, but I can't do it on the highway! Luckily I found Chris with Azul Motorsports and was able to live the dream!
Very nice people; made this a very enjoyable experience for me. They made sure that you were properly prepared for a wonderful track experience.
What a great day! Chris is an amazing driver and really gives you an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be back!
Chris and Co. did a great job in making my first experience at Road Atlanta fun and enjoyable!
The driving tour was a great experience and the instructors catered to any possible needs before, during, and after the drive. Everyone was first-class and made the drive as enjoyable as possible.
A great experience of riding in a quick car and driver on one of the most famous circuits in America.
Exhilarating! It's really great to ride along with experienced drivers in their element, and Chris is certainly in his element driving the Vette.
From being somewhat skeptical as to the experience, I had an awesome time! Chris and the Azul team hosted a great event for us and I highly recommend them.
The entire afternoon was just fantastic. The ride along on the track was simply phenomenal. The car, the speed, the driver, everything was just WOW! I was very impressed with Chris's driving skills and how calm he was. I did not expect to feel so safe at such speed but with Chris driving I was not the least worried. It was a fabulous experience I can only highly recommend.
This was an awesome, thrilling experience that is forever memorable. Chris is a very skilled driver and instructor who adjusts your ride along to meet your comfort level.
I loved the experience! It was the most fun I have had in a while. I look forward to helping grow the brand.
Great experience. I would recommend for anyone. Great learning for someone to understand just how far you can push a car and keep control.
Wow doesn't begin to describe the experience on track! So this is what speed feels like!
It was exhilarating; much more exciting than I expected. I definitely screamed!
Amazing experience. I wish I could drive like that everyday.
I love extreme sports and this experience is a must. Gets the blood flowing yet makes you feel in a very safe environment.
Excellent! The thrill and excitement of a real race car on a real track.
Fast and surprising! The experience was thrilling like a rocket ship. The experience of the driver made it more impactful.
This was a great way to experience the track from a racer's perspective.
Chris and Silvana are both extremely friendly and approachable, and truly offer a fulling track day experience.
This was a great experience – a lot more fun than I was expecting!
Azul Motorsports is not only the outcome of a lifelong dream, but a culmination of of passions centered around the automotive world. At a very young age, I always had a fascination with things that "go". I constantly absorbed any and all information that I could get my hands on that revolved around this amazing obsession.
From toy cars, to photos, videos, and experiences of all things motorsport, to the acquisition of my own "real life" race cars, a vision has transformed into reality for myself and Azul Motorsports.

Q: Travelling salesman with time limit I'm trying to make an application to calculate a daily route to visit my clients. I can solve whole way by using Genetic Algorithms so far. But I need to limit solution by distance. When I just "cut" the solution path at some point, it becomes a bad solution. Is there a special algorithm for this instance? I'm trying to find and fit one but no luck.
Someone used to do this can give me a recommendetion? I can use vb.NET, c#, php or JAVA.
Thanks.

A: If you're limiting the distance traveled, then I'm assuming that you're okay with not visiting ALL of your clients every day.  If you need to visit ALL of your clients AND you have a maximum distance you want to travel, then all you can do is keep running your TSP algorithm until it (hopefully) produces a solution you're happy with.
If you only want to visit clients within a certain distance of the starting point, then determine the Euclidean distance of each point from the starting point, and filter out those that are too far away.  Then run your TSP algorithm on the remaining points.
I'm assuming you instead want to be able to visit as many clients as possible by traveling a maximum distance d.  I recommend using a Hill-climbing approach.  Start with a valid solution (e.g. just use a greedy approach of taking the next closest unvisited client and stop when the total distance is d), and then randomly modify n nodes in the solution (this could mean reordering them, or this could mean swapping a node for one that isn't currently in the solution; use a sensible heuristic here, you don't want to swap a node for a node that's on the other side of the map, one possible approach is to use a weighted algorithm that favors swaps with closer nodes over more distant nodes) and test to see if the new solution is valid + better than the previous solution.  You can always force the new solution to be valid by stripping off the last few clients from the trip.

A: Maybe you can adjust the TSP or VRP example in OptaPlanner (open source, java) to do your bidding? There's a video that shows how to customize/tailor the constraints to your specific case.


During a campaign stop at Taylor Allderdice, Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton revealed that she had no strong opinion given the chance of Betos or Fiori's on Saturday.
Clinton, the Democratic nominee for President, campaigned with her running mate, Tim Kaine, using any opportunity she could to appeal to voters.
An attendee yelled out, "Fiori's or Beto's," when she first walked on stage.
Attendees immediately tweeted out this gaffe, noting their favorite between the two South Hills rivals.
This debate, mirroring the current political climate, got very heated once it gained traction.
Users of the hashtag #teambetos called out Fiori's for selling out with a second location in Washington County and their traditional style.
Fans using the hashtag #teamfioris ridiculed not cooking the cheese on the pizza, along with their square shaped slices.
Unlike the Presidential election, the debate between Fiori's and Beto's will likely never be settled.
The Clinton campaign could not be reached for further comment or clarification.
