The Global Energy Balance Archive (GEBA) is a database for the central storage of the worldwide measured energy fluxes at the Earth's surface, maintained at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). This paper documents the status of the GEBA version 2017 dataset, presents the new web interface and user access, and reviews the scientific impact that GEBA data had in various applications. GEBA has continuously been expanded and updated and contains in its 2017 version around 500 000 monthly mean entries of various surface energy balance components measured at 2500 locations. The database contains observations from 15 surface energy flux components, with the most widely measured quantity available in GEBA being the shortwave radiation incident at the Earth's surface (global radiation). Many of the historic records extend over several decades. GEBA contains monthly data from a variety of sources, namely from the World Radiation Data Centre (WRDC) in St. Petersburg, from national weather services, from different research networks (BSRN, ARM, SURFRAD), from peer-reviewed publications, project and data reports, and from personal communications. Quality checks are applied to test for gross errors in the dataset. GEBA has played a key role in various research applications, such as in the quantification of the global energy balance, in the discussion of the anomalous atmospheric shortwave absorption, and in the detection of multi-decadal variations in global radiation, known as "global dimming" and "brightening". GEBA is further extensively used for the evaluation of climate models and satellite-derived surface flux products. On a more applied level, GEBA provides the basis for engineering applications in the context of solar power generation, water management, agricultural production and tourism. GEBA is publicly accessible through the internet via http://www.geba.ethz.ch. Supplementary data are available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.873078. Show more

Model description
Fiat introduced its 2-liter Dino at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, a collaboration between the giant Italian automaker and its chic counterpart, Ferrari. Available as either a curvy, open Spider by Pininfarina or a smart-looking 2+2 coupe designed by Bertone, the car evolved into a 2.4-liter model by 1970. Ferrari eventually assumed production, and quality improved over the Dino's run. By 1972, more than 7,600 Fiat Dinos of all stripes had been built, the rarest of them the 2.4 Spider, with just 424 produced. It is these 2.4 Spiders that are the most collectible of the bunch.
The name is derived from Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo, nicknamed Dino, who collaborated in the mid-1950s with the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano on a lightweight aluminum V6. A decade later, Ferrari planned to use this engine to power its F2 race cars. Homologation was necessary, however, and Fiat, with its mass-production capabilities, was a natural fit to get the engine into as many cars as such homologation required, in this case 500. But a Ferrari powerplant couldn't just be shoved into any old Fiat 850 or mundane Fiat 2300 sedan. An entirely new car was required.
The two entities enlisted Pininfarina to design the open Spider, while Bertone was responsible for the coupe, and in 1966, the former appeared on the Fiat stand at the Turin Motor Show; the latter would debut a year later in Geneva. Both body styles are uniquely proportioned, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars. While the Spider's looks received mixed reviews, the coupe's reception was much more favorable as it fit its skin a bit better thanks to its increased 2+2 wheelbase.
The coupe featured luxuries like power windows, split folding rear seats, and rear window breathers that opened automatically depending on the car's speed. It also featured a lovely wood dash with big gauges and nifty switches, and a supple leather interior.
The massaged, road-going 2.0-liter V6 delivered 160 hp and was mated to a Ferrari 5-speed transmission. It was the same powerplant that Ferrari employed in its own mid-engined 206 Dino GT. By 1969, the engine had evolved into a 180-hp, cast-iron, 2.4-liter unit that was paired with a more robust ZF transmission. While Fiat built the earlier cars, which were noted for some quality control foibles, the later cars were built in-house by Ferrari, alongside their own machines, now called the 246 Dino GT. The in-house versions are regarded as more reliable.
Other changes besides the increase in displacement included a switch from a live rear axle and leaf springs to a coil-sprung independent suspension, a larger radiator, a cable-operated clutch, an electric brake servo, and larger tires. The added power and the relatively sophisticated suspension set-up brought the lithe Dino to life on a twisty road. The cars were lauded in period for their performance in such venues, especially as they were essentially Ferraris underneath, but at a fraction of the cost.
Dino production ceased in June 1972, in large part due to a culmination of lagging sales and the energy crisis. In all, 7,651 cars were built (1,159 2.0 Spiders, 3,670 2.0 coupes; 424 2.4 Spiders and 2,398 2.4 coupes) .
Rust has claimed many cars, and these days they are a rare sight, particularly the Spiders. But when you consider the Ferrari DNA that runs through them, these Fiats are serious contenders as economical exotics.

I am so excited about the latest book from Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler, Girls Standing on Lawns. Because wouldn't it be amazing to be able to visit the moma with Maira Kalman and ask her what she thinks of all these photos? And it makes me wish I had access to my own family albums, to assess all the photos that were taken of me growing up, all pretty much on the same spot in our yard. And a new item for my to-do list, her paintings on view at the Julie Saul Gallery, ending soon on June 14.

Last weekend, I had the honor of moderating a panel at the Omega Institute's annual conference exploring women, men, and power. When I'm moderating, I have that rare sense that I am doing one of the things I am built for — listening to the conversation on the stage, but also listening underneath the conversation and to the conversation that is begging to be had.
Sometimes, listening underneath and beyond leads me to some surprising places. As we were exploring work-family balance and pay parity — standard fare — two other words suddenly flashed in my head, bright as neon: men and friendship. So I asked the men on the panel to speak to it.
Thirty-three-year-old poet, actor, and memoirist Carlos Andrés Gómez described how a mentor of his told him that people will only be vulnerable with you if you model it first, and that men so often get stuck in shallow relationship because they are perpetually waiting for the other guy to let his guard down. "So I created an 'I love you because list,' with 25 reasons that I loved my best friend and gave it to him," Carlos revealed to the crowd of 400 people, who suddenly seemed to be breathing as one.
True to form, in that moment when this young poet, this exquisitely genuine and tender and tough man, lay his guard down — so did other men in the audience. The rest of the day, in the dining room and on the paths between cabins, in the sanctuary and down by the lake, I heard men being unapologetically relational with one another. They weren't just talking about what they did for a living or their favorite teams; they were talking about their fears. They were talking about their confusion. They were talking about their regrets. Later that night, even the former prime minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, admitted to feeling jealous of the intimacy and authenticity that he's witnessed within women's friendships with one another.
As I began digging into the research on men and friendship, I found convincing evidence on why Kevin is right to be jealous. In fact, strong friendships make us significantly healthier and happier (much more effectively, duh, than money), and men have far fewer of them — especially as they age — than women do. There is even a name for it: "the male deficit model" — essentially the sociological theory that men aren't great at creating lasting, genuine bonds. Men's friendship tend to be more episodic and short-term — forged over beers after work and then abandoned when someone gets transferred to another department, or born on bikes side by side, climbing up hills with rich conversation, but lost to injury.
Men's friendships may tend to be fleeting, but the effects are anything but. Many men rely exclusively on women —their partners, first and foremost, but also female friends — to be emotional surrogates of a sort. Without us, men sometimes struggle to consciously experience and name their emotions; women, though I think we rarely admit it, sometimes feel weighed down with the burden of braving our own internal world and mentoring our favorite men to do so, too. It's a different kind of "second shift" than the one Arlie Russell Hochschild wrote about; it's the endless labor of emotional midwifery.
Of course there are men who are genius at friendship, just as there are women who are positively dumb at it. But, writ large, we still live in a time and a place where men's muscles for deep and real connection atrophy as they make their way through and beyond adolescence.
In Niobe Way's beautiful book, Deep Secrets, she challenges the idea that men are naturally "emotionally illiterate." Instead, she finds that teenage boys describe their love for one another with a depth of feeling worthy of romance novels. But as they age, they learn that "real men" don't speak this way, except, at rare moments, within the safe confines of sports. And so many abandon their native tongue. They adopt the limiting language of safe relationships with other men so as to prove that they're not soft or gay or needy. In so doing, they lose one of the things that makes their lives most livable, most rich.
I would even go so far as to wonder if the impossibly high suicide rate among young men doesn't have something to do with their paucity of friendships, where they can show up as themselves, messy and needy. Or the enigmatic trends in violence perpetrated by men — could some of it be the external expression of an internal longing to be seen, heard, and celebrated by other men?
There is good news here. Niobe Way finds that boys thrive when they resist becoming stoic and self-contained "real men" and instead choose to honor their emotional needs by forging lasting and genuine friendships with other brave souls. When my husband went through a divorce in his late 20s, it was one of the first moments when he chose vulnerability — in part because he didn't feel like it really was a choice — and his friendships with other guys blossomed in the brokenness.
When Carlos painstakingly and bravely penned that "I love you because" list, he not only honored his friend, he honored himself. Men, like women, deserve the gift of genuine, passionate friendship. They are capable of mining their own depths without women's assistance. But it requires rejecting the roles society steers you into if you're on autopilot. It requires being awake, being brave. Sometimes, it requires being the first to let your guard down.

Stanisław Powalisz (ur. 7 kwietnia 1898 w Kostrzynie, zm. 19 sierpnia 1968 w Poznaniu) – malarz, witrażysta, powstaniec  wielkopolski, działacz harcerski.

Życiorys
Urodził się jako syn krawca Augustyna i Marii z Michałowskich. W 1906 roku rodzina przeprowadziła się do Poznania, gdzie Powalisz ukończył szkołę powszechną i Państwową Szkołę Sztuk Zdobniczych i Przemysłu Artystycznego. W 1912 roku rozpoczął aktywną działalność w skautingu. Był między innymi komendantem 2. Drużyny im. ks. Józefa Poniatowskiego, a później 5. Poznańskiego Hufca Harcerzy. W 1918 roku został zaprzysiężony na członka POW zaboru pruskiego. Pełnił funkcję dowódcy zakonspirowanej grupy dziesiątek. Organizator Biura Werbunkowego na ul. Głównej, oraz Kwatery Skautowej na ul. Garbary 28. Po wybuchu Powstania Wielkopolskiego kierował grupą skautów gońców przy Dowództwie Głównym Powstania. Przeprowadzał szkolenia z młodzieżą w oddziałach wielkopolskich. Po zakończeniu walk w 1919 roku założył Drużynę im. Jana Kilińskiego, która przekształciła się w Drużynę Wilków Morskich. Inicjator budowy przystani harcerskiej w Kiekrzu. Posiadał zdolności plastyczne oraz organizatorskie. W latach 1923–1927 studiował na Wydziale Grafiki i Witrażownictwa Poznańskiej Szkoły Sztuk Zdobniczych w Poznaniu. Kontynuował naukę w latach 1930–1931 w Academii Colorossi w Paryżu.

Za udział w Powstaniu Wielkopolskim został odznaczony Medalem Niepodległości. Brał udział w licznych wystawach grafiki, malarstwa i witrażownictwa. W 1929 roku miał pierwszą samodzielną wystawę w salonie Związku Wielkopolskich Artystów Plastyków. Dalszą działalność artystyczną poświęcił witrażownictwu. W latach 1932–1936 zdobywał doświadczenie w warsztacie mistrza witraży Dezyderego Mocznaya w Zbąszyniu. W tym okresie współpracował również z pracownią architektoniczną Adama Ballenstaedta, wykonując witraże dla kościoła św. Antoniego w Chorzowie. Artysta wielokrotnie brał udział w Międzynarodowych Targach Poznańskich oraz innych imprezach wystawienniczych. Prace Stanisława Powalisza były wielokrotnie nagradzane. W 1933 otrzymał złoty medal za witraż "Chrystus na krzyżu", a w 1937 roku nagrodę ministerialną.

W 1936 roku otworzył w Poznaniu własną pracownię przy ulicy Bydgoskiej 5. Razem z inżynierem Z. Wirbeserem, zaprojektował gazowy piec witrażowniczy do wypalania szkła witrażowego, który został wykonany przez pracowników miejskiej gazowni. Była to całkowicie nowatorska konstrukcja na terenie Polski.

Po wybuchu wojny zaangażował się w harcerską działalność konspiracyjną, współtworzył Szare Szeregi. Stanisław Powalisz wraz z rodziną w 1940 roku został przymusowo wysiedlony do Międzyrzecza Podlaskiego na teren Generalnego Gubernatorstwa. Po powrocie do Poznania w 1945 roku uruchomił zniszczony warsztat. Pierwsze powojenne dzieła figuralne artysta wykonał w 1946 roku do kościoła OO. Franciszkanów we Wronkach.

Lafayette Fire Department Public Information Officer Alton Trahan says that a fire in an attached dwelling to a home in the 100 block of Pecan Orchard left structure substantially damaged by the fire.
No one was injured by the fire, and the cause of the blaze has been ruled accidental.
Trahan says investigators have determined that a candle was left unattended in that attached dwelling of the home, and it caused the fire.
It took about ten minutes to get the fire under control, and investigators say it was a neighbor who called them when the neighbor saw the smoke and flames.

Grub Street Profile
Bucky Wayne, the Legend
Bucky Wayne is the pseudonym, of a well-known fellow, that doesn't want his identity revealed. He was born in the American mid-west to normal parents. They didn't beat or harass him. He enjoyed school and going out with his friends.
While attending college, he did odd jobs around town. As he was a strapping young man, the older women, for whom he did work, took notice. Eventually, one of the older, good- looking widows decided she wanted him to do more than paint her house.
After that experience, Bucky was in demand for his special services. Although he enjoyed the female company, the money wasn't rolling in as he hoped. There had to be something more he could do.
Bucky drove to California where some of his high school friends had settled. He stayed with them for a while. He, again, started doing odd jobs. Once again, older women took notice of him.
This time, he hit the mother lode. One of the women, with a special interest in Bucky, produced adult movies. She told him he would be a natural talent.
Once he learned how much money there was in making adult films, Bucky found a financial advisor and started to save his money. He did this from the ages of 20-to-25. Once he saved over a million dollars, he decided his on screen time was done.
Although he wouldn't make as much money, Bucky decided to produce and direct adult films as well as dabble with independent or indie films. He quickly discovered he enjoyed indie films and, finally, gave up his career in adult films.
Thanks to luck and new connections, Bucky soon found himself working on mainstream indie films. He grew a beard and mustache, deepened his tan and shaped his body differently. He didn't want anyone to recognise him as Bucky Wayne porn star.
Today, he uses his real name and loves every minute of his new career. Bucky enjoyed going out with non-porn people; he quickly found a new girlfriend. After a few months, they moved in together to see how well they'd get along, which was very well. After a year, they married.
Bucky did admit to his past to his new wife. He didn't want any surprises in the future. She was okay with that and both tested for VD and HIV. Thankfully, the tests came back negative.
The wife, Gracie, was a partner at very prestigious Los Angeles law firm. Her specialty was corporate mergers and acquisitions; she was very good at what she did. Between the two of them, they were very comfortable. With that said, the decided it was time to buy a home. They settled on a nice bungalow in Brentwood, a ritzy suburb of Los Angeles.
Bucky developed a reputation as a great trouble-shooter on any film. This means he can direct, produce, edit and take care of any problems that popped up the set. He had a very steady manner and a quick wit; he could defuse any situation, easily.
His wife asked him once how he got his name. He smiled and laughed, telling her it was game played in high school. You took the name of your first pet and the street where you lived to make your porn name. Bucky was his first dog and Wayne was the street where he lived; thus, Bucky Wayne.
As of May 2018, Bucky Wayne becomes an occasional columnist for GrubStreet.ca.
Streeter Click is editor of GrubStreet.ca.

Childbirth Basics: Everything You Need to Know About the Placenta
Our expert answers questions you may have about your unborn baby's lifeline inside your womb.
PHOTO BY Flickr Creative Commons/AJCI
The placenta is your baby's source of nutrients and helps your baby get oxygen from your blood. It helps gets rid of waste like carbon dioxide and performs functions that your unborn baby isn't able to do yet. It also acts as a barrier to protect your baby from bacteria and viruses you might have caught while pregnant. Needless to say, the placenta is vital to your pregnancy and your baby's health.
Sometimes, however, it could also cause pregnancy complications. These include placenta abruptia (rupture of the placenta), placenta accreta (when it plants itself too deeply in your uterus), and placenta previa (when it's too close or blocks your cervix) -- all of which could all lead to severe bleeding. Maternal age, family history, and certain conditions such as hypertension or smoking and drinking alcohol during pregnancy can be factors to these complications. But your routine prenatal checkups should help you and your doctor monitor your placenta.
That said, come D-day, have you ever wondered what happens when doctors talk about "birthing the placenta"?
According to Claudette Mendiola, M.D., obstetrician-gynecologist at De Los Santos Medical Center in Quezon City, the placenta will detach from your uterus within five to 30 minutes of vaginal childbirth. When the placenta separates from your uterus, doctors watch our for "a sudden gush of blood, lengthening of the umbilical cord, and firmer, more globular fundus of the uterus on palpation," Dr. Mendiola told SmartParenting.com.ph via email.
6 Tests That Can Check Your Unborn Baby's Health
"Watchful waiting is usually done at this point," she added. There are cases where the mother is asked to bear down a little to help birth the placenta. Sometimes with a little help from the doctors, "by alternating compression and elevation of the fundus (upper part of the stomach) while exerting very minimal traction to the umbilical cord," Dr. Mendiola explains.
Breastfeeding your baby immediately after birth also helps your uterus contract and deliver the placenta, according to U.K.'s National Health Service.
As for C-section deliveries, the placenta is delivered by manual removal. In both cases, however, doctors do a routine inspection of the mother's uterus to check and remove any portions of the placenta that may be left inside the uterus. They also inspect the placenta for missing lobes. "The most common complication after delivering the placenta is when it has an extra lobe, which might be left inside the uterus," Dr. Mendiola said.
This Drug May Prevent a Newborn From Losing His Mom in Childbirth
A big red flag is postpartum bleeding, which could mean that you may have remaining parts of the placenta in your uterus, among other things. It could happen immediately after birth or later after the delivery. Dr. Mendiola warns new moms to immediately inform their doctor if she experiences "any bleeding more than her usual menses after her discharge in the hospital."
What happens to the placenta after birth? Usually, hospitals dispose of it if there is no need to conduct tests for complicated pregnancies. Some hospitals allow the mother to take the placenta home to do what they wish. In countries such as New Zealand, Cambodia, and Costa Rica, parents bury the placenta to protect their baby and form a bond between the baby and the earth.
You may have heard that some moms eat the placenta, which is common in some cultures like the Chinese. Eating it as a shake or in pill form has been getting more popular today, and so does making placenta art as keepsakes. Dr. Mendiola says there are very limited studies to prove the benefits of eating the placenta, adding "it's generally not recommended that you do so." Like your birth plan choices, however, what you may want to do with your placenta after birth entirely up to you.

The 'Questions' singer recently spoke out on the infamous 2009 incident.
Chris Brown has been slammed by domestic abuse charities for his recent comments regarding his assault on Rihanna in 2009.
Two leading women's charities have condemned the 'Privacy' singer for 'victim-blaming' his ex-girlfriend after he opened up about the physical altercation, which left Rihanna hospitalised with visible facial injuries.
Brown revealed that the Barbadian singer was left "spitting blood" on the night of the assault following Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK, Sandra Horley, CEO of Refuge, asserted that there is never any excuse for a man to hit his partner and that violence is a "choice".
"Whatever goes wrong in a relationship, no man has a right to hit his partner. We all say and do things we later regret, but domestic violence does not 'take two'."
"No woman can make a man hit her; violence is a choice he makes and he alone is responsible for it. Blaming the victim is another way perpetrators maintain control over their victims – it shifts the responsibility to the woman."
"Manipulating her into thinking she is responsible is a ploy abusers use to deflect from their violent and controlling behaviour," Horley adds, "Hitting a woman is never acceptable behaviour – it is against the law."
During the excerpt from his new documentary 'Welcome To My Life', Brown claimed that both he and Rihanna were physically abusive during the relationship.
However, Katie Ghose, CEO of abuse charity Women's Aid described Brown's interview as 'victim-blaming' and emphasised that that "abuse or violence of any kind is never the victim's fault".
"Despite pleading guilty to felony assault and accepting a plea deal, in this documentary Chris Brown is victim-blaming Rihanna for the horrific physical assault he perpetrated against her back in 2009," says Ghose.
"Brown is sending out a very dangerous message to both survivors and abusers by relieving himself of responsibility for his actions by blaming Rihanna for provoking him."
Ghose adds that Brown's comments could have a negative impact on the abused as victim-blaming is becoming commonplace.
"Women are frequently discouraged from coming forward for fear of being blamed for the abuse," says Ghose.
"Nearly half of domestic abuse survivors responding to a HMIC online survey had never reported the abuse to the police."
Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counselling, and six months of community service for the assault in 2009.

The linkage of rural Yakima County and the cities and towns through pathways, trails, and/or bike lanes has been widely discussed. Yakima County's 20-Year Comprehensive Plan (Plan 2015) and the 2008 Yakima County Trails Plan consider the creation of pathway and open space park areas as vital to the quality of life of the county. Local, regional, and statewide efforts to enhance pedestrian and bicycle travel are being addressed by individuals, groups like DRYVE and TRANS-Action, and local governments that one day could link Naches to Grandview and White Swan to Moxee.
City of Yakima Parks & Trials: The City of Yakima maintains a variety of parks, pathways and bike lanes throughout the city and accessible to the Yakima Greenway. Yakima's Central Business District recently went though a major rehabilitation of its sidewalk system along Yakima Avenue.
Cowiche Canyon Trail: A 5 mile canyon-mountain trail west of Yakima highlights indigenous plant life and views of the Upper Yakima Valley.
Ice Age Flood Trail: In stages of the last several ice ages, an ice dam in present day Montana held back a glacial lake comparable to some of today's Great Lakes. Occasional cataclysmic floods breached this dam and scoured out the landscape of large sections of Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, including the valleys and hills of the Yakima Valley. The Ice Age Flood Trail will highlight geographic features on existing public lands.
Lower Yakima Trail: Connecting the Cities of Sunnyside, Grandview and Prosser, this paved trail parallels the Gibbon-Granger Short line Railroad.
Toppenish Mural Trail: Walk around town and view over 70 mural depicting the history, culture, and people of the Yakima Valley.
William O. Douglas Trail: Yakima's own United State's Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas regularly hiked from his home in Yakima to Mount Rainier to strengthen his body following a childhood disease. This 75 mile trail follows actual routes traveled by the young Mr. Douglas and existing public trails.
Yakima County Trails Plan (PDF): Updated in 2014, this plan addresses pathway and trail alternatives throughout Yakima County.
Yakima Greenway: Long the backbone of Pathway efforts in Yakima County, the Yakima Greenway has historically extended from Union Gap to 40th Ave. and Fruitvale Blvd. in northeast Yakima, along the Yakima and Naches Rivers. In 2006, Yakima County secured the former Naches Rail Line in partnership with the Yakima Greenway Foundation and the City of Naches began developing the "Naches Rail-to-Trail" which converted over 10 miles of rail line into a 10+ mile trail extension from the Greenway's 40th Ave. Terminus to the Naches Train Depot, creating a 20 mile pedestrian/bicycle trail that connects the Cities of Union Gap, Yakima, Selah and Naches.

City Colleges of Chicago-Richard J Daley College is a two-year community college located in the heart of Chicago, Illinois. The college began as a junior college in 1960 with the establishment of a branch inside of Bogan High School on the southwest side of the city. During a brief transitional period, at which point the school was known as Southwest College, Mayor Richard J Daley set out plans for a more permanent, established institution.
The result, opened in 1981, was a full-fledged community college to serve the residents of Chicago. Southwest College was renamed in the mayor's honor, and has grown into an important part of Chicago's higher education system.
Accreditation is granted by the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities.
The college offers a fairly wide range of programs designed to ready students to enter the Chicago work force, as well as transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Successful students graduate with one of more than 50 available associate's degrees. Examples include biological sciences, English and speech, the humanities, and mathematics.
Career programs provide students with instruction in business, nursing, and computer information systems, among other offerings. These courses are intended to give students an advantage as they continue down their chosen career path.
Certificate programs are also offered as short, one-year programs intended to train students for a specific occupation. These certificate programs include instruction in accounting, child development, criminal justice, manufacturing technology, and networking systems.
The Center for Distance Learning is the college's online department, serving almost 10,000 students annually. Close to 100 different courses are conducted using sophisticated online learning technology.
Unique for a community college, Richard J Daley offers students the opportunity to study abroad in Salamanca, Spain and Salzburg, Austria. This is a great chance for students to experience a different culture while enjoying the rigors of an academic environment.
The college also offers English as a Second Language instruction, a valuable service in the local community, which has a large immigrant population. This course is offered free of charge.
The Adult Education department has a number of different classes available to local community residents free of charge, including Adult Basic Education/General Education Development, and a citizenship course designed to prepare immigrants for the USA Naturalization /Citizenship examination. This course is free as well.
Students in high school can take advantage of the college's presence in their community by signing up for dual enrollment and attending classes at the college as well as their home institution, simultaneously. In some cases, tuition is paid by the high school district, so for students looking to earn college credit early, this can be a great option.
The Honors Program gives "highly able and exceptionally motivated" students the chance to benefit from smaller classes, increased opportunities for research, and interdisciplinary classes not offered to the general student body. Criteria for entering this program are separate from normal admission, and include recommendations from high school or college faculty, and an essay demonstrating potential for growth as a result of admission to the Honors Program.
Students who meet the requirements listed above are then tested in mathematics, English, and reading if course prerequisites demand such examination. This extensive testing can take up to two days.
There are three separate rates for in-district students, out of district students, and out of state students. The first is by far the most affordable, and eligibility is relatively easy to achieve. To qualify for this rate, students must have lived inside of the city of Chicago for at least 30 days prior to the start of classes, or show proof that they work in Chicago full-time.
The college assists students in filling out applications for federal and state aid.
The Illinois Education Foundation Scholarship, awarded to 25 "highly motivated students who have a goal in mind".
The DOMM Book Scholarship covers the cost of text books, up to $400 per year.
The Marilyn Casey Scholarship Fund assists students pursuing a degree in nursing or another health related field.
The Arturo Velaszquez Scholarship Fund offers eligible students an award of up to $1,000 per semester for use in paying tuition at the Institute that shares the same name.
For students planning on transferring to a four-year institution, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship offers the opportunity of up to $30,000 per year for living expenses, tuition, and books upon enrollment towards a bachelor's degree.
Ranks 6528th for the average student loan amount.
The student body is composed of almost 4,500 students, along with an enrollment of more than 5,000 students in the Adult Education Program. The college does not offer dorms, and students commute to campus from all over Chicago.
For a two-year community college, students have access to a substantial wealth of resources on-campus, including a library holding more than 50,000 volumes, a gymnasium equipped with a pool, and a student activities center.
There are also a significant number of organizations and clubs available for students to enjoy. These include the African-American Cultural Club, Bible Study Club, Math Club, and the Website Development Club.
Greek organizations are limited to academic groups, including Phi Theta Kappa.
Athletic teams include a men's basketball team, a women's basketball team, and a coed soccer team. The college colors are blue and gold, and the school mascot is a bulldog.
Richard J Daley College is a fixture of the local Southwest Side community. Designed as a low-cost alternative to four-year institutions, this college is on a mission to provide residents of the community with affordable, high quality education. The free literacy classes offered to non-native English speakers in the area is a serious boon to the local population.
Ranks 902nd for the average full-time faculty salary.

Before the dawn of civilization, man has been trying to defy an absolute truth that applies to all of us universally. Many early civilizations spent tremendous amounts of resources in denial of this absolute truth. Even today, many refuse to accept this truth. Do you know what it is? Are you ready? You can't take it with you! The great pyramids of Egypt are the most notable examples how man has attempted to take worldly goods and prized possessions into the afterlife.
So, instead of trying to figure out what to take with you, why not spend your time and energy trying to leave something behind? I am talking about leaving a legacy. Few of us are able to build a legacy of fame, immense fortune or have a lasting impact on humanity. But every one of us can leave a legacy that has just as much value as Andrew Carnegie, or Thomas Edison, or other famous people.
For most of us, there is a simple measuring stick that can quantify the best legacy we can leave behind. I pose this to you; how many people will say of you, "He or she has made a positive and lasting impact on my life?" That truly is the best legacy one can leave. Friendship, fellowship, service and sharing builds legacies.
Come join us this week and work on building your legacy here at the Osage County Senior Center, 604 Market St., Osage City, or call 785-528-4906 for more information.
Thursday, Nov. 26: Thanksgiving! Senior center closed for the holiday.

Over the past 12 years Thirdi Group has been very lucky to be included in a range of media & industry awards, recognised in how we combine traditional property development & investment strategies with in-house developed technologies.
We are proud of our innovative approach to property development and we believe it's our simple philosophy of 'Investing where Investments are being made' that has helped our company secure its place as one of the fastest growing development firms within Australia.
With the property market back in full swing after the usual January slowdown, we spoke to Luke Berry, director of sales and marketing at one of Sydney's leading property developers, Thirdi, for his learnings from the past year and plans for the future.
This is evident in the combination of home automation and smart sustainability which feature heavily in Thirdi's upcoming projects.
All of Thirdi's current projects will have access to home automation packages and will either have private energy storage (by way of a Tesla battery in the garages) or the building will have been designed with a dedicated energy storage area in the basement ready for battery installation in the future.
"We have major plans for these batteries to feature as a 'green and clean' energy offering and hope this will not only help the environment but also significantly reduce the cost of living for our residents," Berry says.
Developer Thirdi Group has officially unveiled its latest Newcastle project, launching the next piece in their masterplanned WestEnd precinct, the $104 million "Stella on Hannell".
Thirdi officially opened their WestEnd display suite last Thursday 19 April to much fanfare. Newcastle Mayor Nutali Nelmes was the special guest and speaker for the evening, welcoming more than 200 guests.
Located on the corner of Hannell and Bishopsgate streets in Newcastle's burgeoning Wickham, Stella on Hannell comprises two 14-storey residential towers offering a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
Stellar on Hannell boasts some of the best uninterrupted views of the harbour and Newcastle CBD.
Starting at just $420,500 for a one bedroom apartment the launch was a success with 54 apartments sold and 50 per cent of the apartments reserved for purchase.
Thirdi Group director of sales and marketing Luke Berry said interest in Stella on Hannell had been overwhelming.
The commanding North East aspect looking over the harbour allows for the maximum number of apartments to experience uninterrupted views of the harbour and the city.
Located next to millions of dollars in infrastructure investment including the new $200 million Newcastle interchange Stella is also just a short stroll to the University of Newcastle's new city campus.
At the launch, Mayor Nutali Nelmes confirmed the council's commitment to the WestEnd. Highlighting the record $2 billion of infrastructure projects earmarking a once-in-a-generation boom.
The council is only one of many organisations joining the westward march to Wickham – with the New South Wales government recently announcing that it will take 9,000sq m of office space in Wickham.
Stella on Hannell is the developer's third of four projects for the Wickham precinct, adding to Eaton on Union and WestEnd – the fourth element of the "W.E.S.T" is set to be unveiled in coming months.
Stella on Hannell was named after the daughter of architect Luke Mahaffey of LJM Architecture.
For some car enthusiasts, keeping their pride and joy locked away in a garage makes no sense. Why have this perfect piece of machinery if you can't admire it, even when it's off the road?
Here is the perfect solution – a new development in Sydney's Pyrmont has the option of a car lift so you can bring your luxury wheels right into your domain.
The Paragon of Pyrmont development is described as 'never-before-seen luxury in the heart of Sydney'. It features a selection of 1 and 3 bedroom apartments and exclusive 3, 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses. The jewel in the crown is the Treasury, a mammoth four-bedroom, six-bathroom townhouse.
It's in this property that a lift to take the car from the garage into a first-floor room is an optional extra in the development.
Coined the 'Maserati bat cave', it has gained a huge amount of attention from car lovers worldwide, according to Thirdi Group's Luke Berry.
"From a concept point of view it's captured people's imagination," he told Robb Report Australia.
The garages are equipped with smart home automation systems which will recognise when the resident's car is approaching and open the door and turn on the lights automatically.
In the five-level townhouses there are Italian marble mosaics in the bathrooms, Gaggenau appliances in the kitchen and Rogerseller-style 'touch activated' cabinetry.
The private rooftop terrace will provide a sanctuary not often seen in the heart of the city and the gas BBQ and fridge will ensure it's an entertainer's delight.
Despite all the opulence, it's that car lift and 'bat cave' that has garnered the most attention. "It will be the first of its kind for this style of car lift," Berry says.
And if you're not sure your car is up to scratch for day/night admiration, there is an option to buy a Maserati Quattroporte with the Treasury and car lift option.
The Treasury residence is officially 'price on application', however Berry says including the car lift and Maserati, it will be around the $6m mark.

Power supply company sells $12.4 million in copper and nickel for copper plant
August 22, 2021 Comments Off on Power supply company sells $12.4 million in copper and nickel for copper plant	By admin
Metal suppliers Power Supply and Demand Inc. has sold $12 million in nickel and copper to build a plant that will use a new kind of metal, according to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The transaction was approved in February.
"The acquisition of nickel and/or copper provides a significant boost to the company's nickel and iron supply mix and a significant increase in its nickel supply to the market," the filing said.
The nickel-nickel agreement, which will be completed by July 2019, will also help the company "to provide a better price-performance ratio for nickel and silver products."
The company said in the filing that the nickel-coal purchase will boost its nickel and aluminum production by more than half and that it expects that it will increase its nickel-copper production by about 30% this year.
Power Supply said the deal includes a $6.5 million deposit for copper production and the $4 million payment for copper supply.
The company plans to purchase an additional $2.2 million of nickel from an existing copper supplier.
It also said it will sell nickel from a new nickel-steel plant to be constructed in Nevada.

The events unfolding at Japan's Fukushima Dai Ichi Nuclear Power plant are a case study in ways that the risk assessment process can fail or be abused. In an article published on Bloomberg.com, Jason Clenfield itemizes decades of fraud and failures in engineering and administration that have led to the catastrophic failure of four of six reactors at the 40-year-old Fukushima plant. Clenfield's article, 'Disaster Caps Faked Reports', goes on to cover similar failures in the Japanese nuclear sector.
Most people believe that the more serious the public danger, the more carefully the risks are considered in the design and execution of projects like the Fukushima plant. Clenfield's article points to failures by a number of major international businesses involved in the design and manufacture of components for these reactors that may have contributed to the catastrophe playing out in Japan. In some cases, the correct actions could have bankrupted the companies involved, so rather than risk financial failure, these failures were covered up and the workers involved rewarded for their efforts. As you will see, sometimes the degree of care that we have a right to expect is not the level of care that is used.
How does this relate to the failure and abuse of the risk assessment process? Read on!
The Fukushima Dai Ichi nuclear plant was constructed in the late 1960's and early 1970's, with Reactor #1 going on-line in 1971. The reactors at this facility use 'active cooling', requiring electrically powered cooling pumps to run continuously to keep the core temperatures in the normal operating range. As you will have seen in recent news reports, the plant is located on the shore, drawing water directly from the Pacific Ocean.
Learn more about Boiling Water Reactors used at Fukushima.
Read IEEE Spectrum's "24-Hours at Fukushima", a blow-by-blow account of the first 24 hours of the disaster.
Japan is located along one of the most active fault lines in the world, with plate subduction rates exceeding 90 mm/year. Earthquakes are so commonplace in this area that the Japanese people consider Japan to be the 'land of earthquakes', starting earthquake safety training in kindergarten.
Japan is the county that created the word 'tsunami' because the effects of sub-sea earthquakes often include large waves that swamp the shoreline. These waves affect all countries bordering the worlds oceans, but are especially prevalent where strong earthquakes are frequent.
In this environment it would be reasonable to expect that consideration of earthquake and tsunami effects would merit the highest consideration when assessing the risks related to these hazards. Remembering that risk is a function of severity of consequence and probability, the risk assessed from earthquake and tsunami should have been critical. Loss of cooling can result in the catastrophic overheating of the reactor core, potentially leading to a core meltdown.
The Fukushima Dai Ichi plant was designed to withstand 5.7 m tsunami waves, even though a 6.4 m wave had hit the shore close by 10 years before the plant went on-line. The wave generated by the recent earthquake was 7 m. Although the plant was not washed away by the tsunami, the wave created another problem.
Now consider that the reactors require constant forced cooling using electrically powered pumps. The backup generators installed to ensure that cooling pumps remain operational even if the mains power to the plant is lost, are installed in a basement subject to flooding. When the tsunami hit the seawall and spilled over the top, the floodwaters poured into the backup generator room, knocking out the diesel backup generators. The cooling system stopped. With no power to run the pumps, the reactor cores began to overheat. Although the reactors survived the earthquakes and the tsunami, without power to run the pumps the plant was in trouble.
Learn more about the accident.
Clearly there was a failure of reason when assessing the risks related the loss of cooling capability in these reactors. With systems that are mission critical in the way that these systems are, multiple levels of redundancy beyond a single backup system are often the minimum required.
In another plant in Japan, a section of piping carrying superheated steam from the reactor to the turbines ruptured injuring a number of workers. The pipe was installed when the plant was new and had never been inspected since installation because it was left off the safety inspection checklist. This is an example of a failure that resulted from blindly following a checklist without looking at the larger picture. There can be no doubt that someone at the plant noticed that other pipe sections were inspected regularly, but that this particular section was skipped, yet no changes in the process resulted.
Here again, the risk was not recognized even though it was clearly understood with respect to other sections of pipe in the same plant.
In another situation at a nuclear plant in Japan, drains inside the containment area of a reactor were not plugged at the end of the installation process. As a result, a small spill of radioactive water was released into the sea instead of being properly contained and cleaned up. The risk was well understood, but the control procedure for this risk was not implemented.
Finally, the Kashiwazaki Kariwa plant was constructed along a major fault line. The designers used figures for the maximum seismic acceleration that were three times lower than the accelerations that could be created by the fault. Regulators permitted the plant to be built even though the relative weakness of the design was known.
I believe that there are a number of reasons why these kinds of failures occur.
People have a difficult time appreciating the meaning of probability. Probability is a key factor in determining the degree of risk from any hazard, yet when figures like '1 in 1000' or '1 x 10-5 occurrences per year' are discussed, it's hard for people to truly grasp what these numbers mean. Likewise, when more subjective scales are used it can be difficult to really understand what 'likely' or 'rarely' actually mean.
Consequently, even in cases where the severity may be very high, the risk related to a particular hazard may be neglected because the risk is deemed to be low because the probability seems to be low.
When probability is discussed in terms of time, a figure like '1 x 10-5 occurrences per year' can make the chance of an occurrence seem distant, and therefore less of a concern.
Most risk assessment approaches deal with hazards singly. This is done to simplify the assessment process, but the problem that can result from this approach is the effect that multiple failures can create, or that cascading failures can create. In a multiple failure condition, several protective measures fail simultaneously from a single cause (sometimes called Common Cause Failure). In this case, back-up measures may fail from the same cause, resulting in no protection from the hazard.
In a cascading failure, an initial failure is followed by a series of failures resulting in the partial or complete loss of the protective measures, resulting in partial or complete exposure to the hazard. Reasonably foreseeable combinations of failure modes in mission critical systems must be considered and the probability of each estimated.
Combination of hazards can result in synergy between the hazards resulting in a higher level of severity from the combination than is present from any one of the hazards taken singly. Reasonably foreseeable combinations of hazards and their potential synergies must be identified and the risk estimated.
Oversimplification of the hazard identification and analysis processes can result in overlooking hazards or underestimating the risk.
Thinking about the Fukushima Dai Ichi plant again, the combination of the effects of the earthquake on the plant, with the added impact of the tsunami wave, resulted in the loss of primary power to the plant followed by the loss of backup power from the backup generators, and the subsequent partial meltdowns and explosions at the plant. This combination of earthquake and tsunami was well known, not some 'unimaginable' or 'unforeseeable' situation. When conducting risk assessments, all reasonably foreseeable combinations of hazards must be considered.
The risk assessment process is subject to abuse and neglect. Risk assessment has been used by some as a means to justify exposing workers and the public to risks that should not have been permitted. Skewing the results of the risk assessment, either by underestimating the risk initially, or by overestimating the effectiveness and reliability of control measures can lead to this situation. Decisions relating to the 'tolerability' or the 'acceptability' of risks when the severity of the potential consequences are high should be approached with great caution. In my opinion, unless you are personally willing to take the risk you are proposing to accept, it cannot be considered either tolerable or acceptable, regardless of the legal limits that may exist.
In the case of the Japanese nuclear plants, the operators have publicly admitted to falsifying inspection and repair records, some of which have resulted in accidents and fatalities.
In 1990, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission wrote a report on the Fukushima Dai Ichi plant that predicted the exact scenario that resulted in the current crisis. These findings were shared with the Japanese authorities and the operators, but no one in a position of authority took the findings seriously enough to do anything. Relatively simple and low-cost protective measures, like increasing the height of the protective sea wall along the coastline and moving the backup generators to high ground could have prevented a national catastrophe and the complete loss of the plant.
Despite these human failings, I believe that risk assessment is an important tool. Increasingly sophisticated technology has rendered 'common sense' useless in many cases, because people do not have the expertise to have any common sense about the hazards related to these technologies.
Where hazards are well understood, they should be controlled with the simplest, most direct and effective measures available. In many cases this can be done by the people who first identify the hazard.
Where hazards are not well understood, bringing in experts with the knowledge to assess the risk and implement appropriate protective measures is the right approach.
The common aspect in all of this is the identification of hazards and the application of some sort of control measures. Risk assessment should not be neglected simply because it is sometimes difficult, or it can be done poorly, or the results neglected or ignored. We need to improve what we do with the results of these efforts, rather than neglect to do them at all.
In the mean time, the Japanese, and the world, have some cleanup to do.

The risk assessment, if not properly facilitated by a non-stakeholder, can be skewed by the stakeholders.

Home / News / Meet Race Skipper Greg Miller
Meet Race Skipper Greg Miller
Greg Miller Mission Performance Skipper
Greg Miller's sailing career began as a sea scout in Gosport. Between leaving secondary school and joining the British Army, where he served for 24 years, Greg has worked as a sailing and water-sports instructor in Portsmouth.
Greg has vast experience of sailing different vessels in varying conditions including two Atlantic Ocean and a Southern Ocean crossing. He says: "I cut my teeth on the 'big boats' and ocean sailing with the military and Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre. One of my most memorable moments at sea was when HMS Illustrious pulled up next to our 50 foot yacht in the middle of the Atlantic to drop off a crew member.
"I want to build a solid team that any skipper would be proud to sail with. I would like them to become a close-knit family and a high performing team. Humility will be their motto, podium positions will be their goal."
Aside from sailing, Greg has gained his Private Pilot's licence and has a love of motorbikes, especially Ducati's. Greg says "I toyed with the idea of a career in aviation for a while and would probably have gone that way if my passion for sailing had not surfaced.
"I've been working as a Clipper Race training skipper and with my discharge from the army, the timing was perfect for me to join this year's race. I am yet to sail the Pacific Ocean so am really looking forward to Leg 6."
Five things about Greg
When I'm not sailing: I love flying and gliding but my passion is motorcycling.
In three words, I'd describe myself as: confident, calm, adventurer.
The host port I'm most looking forward to is: Sydney. Because it's the start of the Rolex Sydney-Hobart Race, it will be awesome.
I'll be advising my crew to: work hard, work together and don't allow mole-hills to become mountains.
I take inspiration from: my family. The memory of my Grandad has pushed me through some difficult times.

with a check for $382.96.
With the support of Parker Elementary School Principal Paul Fay, teacher Tamara Wells-Reynold's and her 4th grade After School Art Club raised $382.96, from raffle ticket sales of their art work.
We just spent two days with students from the Rocky Hill School in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
It's become an annual two day field trip and what's the best for us is that we get to see students grow – not only in size and maturity but in their coming of age and increased connectiveness to giving and service. Photos from their service days are here.
Rather than explain more – we'd like to share what student Hunter Corbett had to say – " Our annual Rocky Hill sophomore trip to GiftsToGive is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the year. The upperclassmen fondly remember their excursion, and this year's trip did not fail to live up to our high expectations. I think everyone in my class left with a desire to do more to help people. I know I am definitely going back to GiftsToGive to volunteer again in my free time.
Dartmouth Middle School thought they'd collected a lot of books for GiftsToGive in 2010 when they collected over 3,200 gently used books for kids and teens in one week.
Then they smashed that record in 2011 by collecting over 6,000 gently used books.
Now DMS students have smashed that record once again by donating 7,154 books!

Q: Multiple radio button list, get selected values in controller I am working on a dynamic multiple choice form builder. In this scenario, the form can have multiple radio button list with a different question and options.

Question 1

<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option1</lable>
<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option2</lable>
<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option3</lable>
<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option4</lable>

Question 2

<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option5</lable>
<input type="radio" value=""><lable>Option6</lable>

I make model for this:
 public class clsMain
    {
        public string[] selectedAnswer { get; set; }

        public List<ClsQuestions> lstQuestion { get; set; }
        public List<ClsOptions> lstOptions { get; set; }
    }

    public class ClsQuestions
    {
        public string question { get; set; }
    }

    public class ClsOptions
    {
        public int optionid { get; set; }
        public string optionvalue { get; set; }
        public string optionlable { get; set; }
    }

Controller
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult FromSelectedValues(clsMain model)
    {
        return View();
    }

View
@for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++){
          Question @i
         @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedAnswer[i], "Answer1"+i)
          Answer1 @i
         @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedAnswer[i], "Answer2"+i)
          Answer2 @i
         @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedAnswer[i], "Answer3"+i)
          Answer3 @i
         @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.SelectedAnswer[i], "Answer4"+i)
           Answer4 @i
}

In short, I want to get selected options in the controller.

A: In your html file you need to group radio inputs with a specified name.
First of all, you have to change your question and answer model to make a relation.
    public class ClsQuestions
    {
        // Parent ID to be referenced by children
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string question { get; set; }
    }

    public class ClsOptions
    {
        // Parent question id of the option
        public int QuestionID { get; set; }
        public int optionid { get; set; }
        public string optionvalue { get; set; }
        public string optionlable { get; set; }
    }

You would change your view like this
// A loop on all of the questions
@foreach(var item in lstQuestion) {

  // Get list of all options that related to parent question
  var options = lstOptions.Where(x => x.QuestionID == item.ID).ToList();

  @(item.question)

  // Al loop on all found options of current question
  @foreach(var option in options) {

    // Group options by using the name property ('Question'+QuestionID)
    <input type="radio" value="@(option.optionid)" name="Question@(item.ID)"><lable>@(option.optionlable)</lable>
  }

}

Now, when you're submitting your form, you can send an array of selected options.
Here is a post for sending selected options to server
