LOS ALAMOS UPDATE 2018
"Only in American can you be pro-death penalty, pro-war, pro-unmanned drone bombs, pro-nuclear weapons, pro-guns, pro-torture, pro-land mines, and still call yourself 'pro-life'". ~ John Fugelsang, actor/comedian
Eileen and I moved to Los Alamos, NM, in June/2017. It's an unusual place...it's not a city, town, or village. It is a census designated place. WTF? White Rock is another census designated place in Los Alamos County. There's no "city government"...just a county government that makes decisions for the county and its occupants. About 65% of the people here work for the national labs where atomic bombs are still being researched, updated, and made, along with the toxic waste associated with that research. Other research is done here, as well, but the main efforts are nuclear.
The main thing that I notice here is: it's all white people. Not really, but I can count on two hands the number of non-white people I've seen in the last year. I'm sure there are more non-white people here than what I've seen, but the overall impression is WHITE. Another thing that stands out is that there are no old buildings here, except what remains of the Los Alamos Ranch School that was taken over by the U.S. military in 1942. Until about 1957, it was primarily a military base and is where the atomic bomb was developed. After that, it was opened to the public. About 3/5ths of the land up here on the mesas is owned by the Dept of Energy and not open to the public. Housing is very tight here because of the small geographic area available for houses to be built on. While driving on roads that go through DOE property, all vehicles are subject to random searches and aerial surveilance over DOE land is routine.
Another oddity here: almost no crime. The amount of crime that occurs in Los Alamos County annually is about what one would expect to occur in about 5 minutes in a major city. No joke. People leave doors and windows unlocked. Haven't seen that since living in upstate NY back in the 1950's. I think some of that has to do with how out of the way Los Alamos is located. Like Silver City, NM, where we used to live, Los Alamos is not on the way somewhere. You have to want to drive through here, perhaps to see the Valle Caldera that is some 15 miles southwest of Los Alamos. That's one of the reason that the U.S. government and the military chose this place for the Manhattan Project. Also, Robert Oppenheimer and his brother owned a piece of property near here, so he pushed for this site to develop the atomic bomb.
Now, in its favor, Los Alamos is quiet, safe, and very educated, but I believe that most people who have lived here for a while have a poor conception of what life is like in a bigger city. It is located up on 5 mesas, at the foothills of the Jemez mountains. Elevation here is about 7400', with the mountains at about 10,000'+. Scenery and surroundings are beautiful. Yes, there is still pollution here from the 1940's/1950's/1960's and there have been "accidents" where harmful material has caused problems here. Oh, it's also the second most affluent city in America. Washington, DC, is the most affluent city in America. For town/city of less than 100,000 population.
There is a decent brewpub here, the Bathtub Row Brewery Co-op, and a couple of good restaurants. Even decent sushi and a recently opened French bakery. There is NO GOOD PIZZA here. Period. So, I make my own or we go to Santa Fe. Fortunately, Santa Fe is only about 35 miles from here. Once there, many options are available from arts, music, beer, food, entertainment, etc. It makes the move here much more tolerable.
One of the things that I like to do is lift weights. There are two places here for that and the YMCA is one of them. Now, I have been lifting weights regularly since the early 1980's and the YMCA in Los Alamos has to be one of the worst gyms I've been to in 30 years. Now, in their defense, there was a vote in the past year where money could have been allocated to help replace the aging YMCA building with a new one, but it was narrowly voted down. Too bad. Another negative is cell phone/internet connectivity. I expected top shelf stuff here, but that has not been the case.
Another oddity has been the lack of interaction between people while out and about in Los Alamos. In Silver City, it made not a lick of difference if people knew you or not, everyone said hello to everyone else. Well, it seemed that way. We've been here over 6 months and only recently have people begun to open up and say hello. Now, whenever I encounter someone, I say hello just to see what the reaction will be. Fun to shake them up a bit. Another oddity, New Mexico's suicide rate for those 10-24 yrs of age is twice the national average and Los Alamos County's rate is twice what the rate is for New Mexico, so, Los Alamos County has a suicide rate for the 10-24yr old group that is 4 times the U.S. national average. Incredible!
Overall, I like small towns and the low crime rate is great. Will we remain here after Eileen retires? Not sure, but I'm willing to bet we will move back to Albuquerque at that time. But, with the future, we won't know until we get to where we have to decide. I will say that, if all the towns/cities in the U.S. were like Los Alamos, NM, I would move to another country. While the low crime rate is appreciated, the lack of personal interaction with people is very weird. People here don't say hello, don't casually talk with strangers, and it's everywhere. Restaurants, bars, stores, on the streets, everywhere...people do not socialize like I experience elsewhere. I have been going to the Bathtub Brewpub for over a year now and I know the name of one person who works behind the bar. The interaction of the bartenders is so very different from other brewpubs, as well as the grouping of people who come there who most likely work at the Labs. While the groups talk with each other, there is no interaction between groups...period. If this was one of the neighborhood bars back in my hometown of Glens Falls, NY, I would know just about everyone at the brewpub by now. And the bartenders would know what I usually drink.
We will be here for the duration, until Eileen is ready to retire and, hopefully, in that time we will get to know some people up on "the Hill", as Los Alamos is fondly referred to. What we have learned since we moved out of Albuquerque in 2006 is that small town life is quite pleasant. With that said, we'll have to see where we'd like to move to considering that small town life is pretty good. Large cities have more to offer, but with significant negatives that are not present in most small towns.
So, a brief annual report from the new kids on the block in Los Alamos, NM. Stay tuned for more from My Side of The Ride. Now, to close, a tune to entertain y'all... Always Look At The Bright Side Of Life performed by Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. Seems appropriate. Have a good one!

Treatment of sugarbeet wastes by recycling
RONALD W. BRENTON, Junior Research Chemist
The Great Western Sugar Company
More than 3 million tons of refined sugar are produced each year from
sugarbeets raised by independent growers in 29 states (1). In 1970-the industry's
centennial year—12 sugarbeet processing companies had 59 factories operating in 19
states. Within each factory the unit operations are quite similar; differences reflect
decisions on choices of equipment.
The operational processes required to handle and prepare the sugarbeets for
processing require considerable design adaptation to local environmental influences.
For instance the biological characteristics of the sugarbeets and the soil in which they
are raised varies vastly between the Imperial Valley of California and northern North
Dakota. The milder climates permit prolonged harvesting and processing of fresh
beets (up to in excess of 300 days per year) whereas harvest must be completed
quickly in the fall in the colder climates. In the latter instance the greatest
proportion of the harvest must be stored for processing and the length of operation
limited to 100-200 days due to an increasing rate of sugar losses with prolonged
It follows that one single conventional waste treatment scheme or design
cannot be adapted to each factory. The literature will show that almost all of the
typical waste treatment schemes have been used to treat sugarbeet waste water.
Hungerford (2) reported on work in Nebraska where large grass fields were
irrigated with factory wastes as a treatment method. Langen and Hoeppner (3)
described the use of activated sludge to treat sugarbeet wastes in Germany. Peterson
(4) reported on the use of trickling filters to treat a combination of municipal sewage
and beet sugar processing waste water.
One objective practice which has been increasingly successful in most areas is
that of recycling and reusing the waste water. Blankenbach and Willison (5) reported
on a recycled flume water system operating in Canada. Force (6) has reported on a
similar operation in Ohio. Numerous other recirculating systems have been
constructed but have not been reported in the literature. The practice of
recirculation reduces the overall water volume, reduces the amount of water
subjected to pollution thus reducing the size (and the cost) of facilities needed to
maneuver and treat the water.
McGinnis and Weckel (7) state that most of the beet sugar factories in the
United States recycle at least some of their process water in order to conserve fresh
water needs and reduce disposal requirements.

Catanduva é um município brasileiro do estado de São Paulo. Fundado em 14 de abril de 1918, localiza-se a uma latitude 21°8′16″ sul e a uma longitude 48°58′22″ oeste, a 385 quilômetros da capital estadual. Tem altitude média de 503 metros. Sua população, estimada pelo IBGE para 1º de julho de 2021, era de  habitantes, sendo o 72.° município em população do estado de São Paulo e o 263.° do Brasil. Sua economia é baseada no comércio, prestação de serviços, indústrias diversas e agricultura. Em 2016 era a 79ª cidade mais desenvolvida do país e a 48º no estado de São Paulo, segundo o Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal, publicado em 2018.

História
Até hoje, ninguém sabe quem fundou Catanduva, mas crê-se em duas histórias, tendo, como base, que seu primeiro nome era "Cerradinho", uma pequena vila construída às margens do rio São Domingos. As histórias são:
 José Lourenço Dias Figueiredo, de Minas Gerais, havia comprado propriedades em 1850. Em 1889, Joaquim Figueiredo, seu filho, tomou posse dessas terras e começou o cultivo delas e a construção da primeira casa de telhas.
 Já a outra história diz que Antônio Maximiano Rodrigues fundou a cidade. Natural de Conceição do Rio Verde, no estado de Minas Gerais, teria adquirido terras na região de Catanduva, por volta de 1850, e nelas se estabelecido em 1892, quando fez a doação de 10 alqueires da sua propriedade para patrimônio da Paróquia de São Domingos, batizada com o nome, já mencionado, de Cerradinho por se encontrarem tais terras encravadas na Fazenda de São Domingos do Cerradinho. Outros, ainda, optam pelo nome de Domingos Borges da Costa (conhecido por "Minguta"), idoso que se radicou nas cercanias da povoação nascente, à beira de um riacho, hoje denominado Minguta.

A Imperial Estrada do Taboado que de Jaboticabal aprofundava pelo alto sertão, passando por Monte Alto, Vista Alegre do Alto, Palmares Paulista (antigo Cordão Escuro), Tabapuã e Rio Preto até atingir o Porto do Taboado, no rio Paraná, era a principal via de penetração, naquela época, absorvendo todo o movimento comercial da região. Por força desse determinismo geográfico, Cerradinho tornou-se tributário de Cordão Escuro. Mas quando a ferrovia veio abrir novos rumos à civilização, a insignificante povoação de Cerradinho tomou novo alento, transferindo para si o eixo comercial de toda a região. Antes mesmo da chegada da Estrada de Ferro Araraquara em 1910, foi criado o Distrito de Paz, no município de São José do Rio Preto, com a denominação de Vila Adolfo, em homenagem a um político de Rio Preto, Coronel Adolfo.

Desde então, o progresso urbano do Distrito foi rápido, prendendo-se ao desenvolvimento econômico da fértil zona rural. O cultivo do café, predominantemente adotado, a penetração ferroviária, de par com a assistência médico hospitalar e educacional com a qual a florescente vila ia sendo dotada, constituíram fatores decisivos para a evolução progressiva da área urbana e consequentemente do município.

O conhecido título "Cidade-Feitiço" é relacionado à hospitalidade dos moradores, que recebem com muito carinho e atenção todos os visitantes. O nome foi citado pela primeira vez em um jornal da cidade.

Origem do nome
"Catanduva" é palavra de origem tupi que significa "ajuntamento de mata dura", ou seja, "cerrado", através da junção dos termos ka'a (mata), atã (duro) e tyba (ajuntamento, se tornou " tuva" no tupi paulista). É uma referência à vegetação com árvores de troncos e galhos retorcidos recobertos por casca grossa e resistente ao fogo. Este nome designava a fisionomia mais característica do cerrado brasileiro.

Aniversário e emancipação política
O aniversário de Catanduva é comemorado em 14 de abril e sua emancipação política ocorreu nesta data, no ano de 1918.

Geografia
Localiza-se a uma latitude 21º08'16" sul e a uma longitude 48º58'22" oeste, estando a uma altitude média de 503 metros. Possui uma área de 290,596 km².

Segundo dados do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), referentes ao período de 1961 a 1983 e a partir de 1986, a menor temperatura registrada em Catanduva foi de  nos dias 22 de junho de 1963 e 18 de julho de 1975 e a maior atingiu  em 7 de outubro de 2020.

O maior acumulado de precipitação observado em 24 horas chegou a  em 2 de fevereiro de 1983. Outros grandes acumulados iguais ou superiores aos  foram:  em 27 de dezembro de 1979,  em 25 de dezembro de 1975,  em 12 de dezembro de 1989,  em 21 de novembro de 1996,  em 31 de outubro de 1969,  em 8 de janeiro de 1988 e  em 3 de julho de 1997. Em fevereiro de 1995 foi observado o maior volume total de precipitação em um mês, de .

Qualidade do ar
A Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB) colocou Catanduva na décima segunda posição entre os municípios do interior de São Paulo em índice de qualidade do ar. O município emite uma média de 112 moléculas de partículas inaláveis a cada minuto, índice considerado tolerável pela própria companhia.

Demografia

De acordo com o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, Catanduva possuía  habitantes em 2010, sendo, então, o 60º município mais populoso do estado de São Paulo. De acordo com o mesmo censo, a cidade contava com  habitantes na zona urbana e 906 na zona rural. Com 290,596 km² de área territorial, a cidade mostra uma densidade demográfica de 388,24 habitantes por km². A cidade possuía  domicílios particulares permanentes. Na Estimativa de 2011 do IBGE, Catanduva aparece com  habitantes.

Em 2010, a população catanduvense era composta por  homens e  mulheres. No mesmo ano, a população era formada por  brancos (76,4%),  pardos (19%),  negros (3,9%), 584 amarelos (0,5%) e 97 indígenas (0,1%).

O Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) de Catanduva, medido em 2000 pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento, é de 0,833.

Religião
Segundo dados do último censo do IBGE 2010, a cidade possuía 70.175 pessoas que pertenciam à Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana, enquanto 26.822, diziam pertencer à Igreja Evangélica, dentre inúmeras denominações. Ainda segundo o levantamento, 6512 pessoas declararam-se pertencentes à religião Espírita. Da população geral, 5898 pessoas não possuem religião.

Economia

Catanduva ocupou o décimo quarto lugar do país no ranking feito pelo Ministério do Trabalho no mês de junho de 2010 com vagas de emprego. A geração de 922 vagas de emprego fez com que a cidade ficasse com a 2ª colocação na região noroeste do estado, perdendo apenas para Penápolis, e ficando acima de cidades como São José do Rio Preto, Araçatuba e Presidente Prudente.

Catanduva possui quatro distritos industriais e neles funcionam mais de 340 indústrias de diferentes ramos como metalúrgico, construção, mecânica, tipográfico, calçadista, moveleiro, usinagem e outros.

Na cidade, estão instaladas empresas como a "Matilat Laticínios", Salamanca, "Vitalex Industria de Aparelhos Eletrodomésticos", "Gráfica São Domingos", "Mustang Pluron", "Cofevar Industria de Ferro e Aço", "Brumau Comércio de Óleos Vegetais", "Casa Doce", "Citrosuco", "Sucotrop",  que tem como principal produto a linha Fatto Bene, entre outras empresas.

Em 2010, Catanduva ocupou a 33ª posição estadual no Índice Firjan de Gestão Fiscal (IFGV), sistema criado para avaliar a qualidade de gestão fiscal dos municípios brasileiros.

Um monitoramento feito pelo Governo do Estado de São Paulo, comprovou que Catanduva está entre os oito municípios com o menor tempo de resposta a solicitações de abertura de empresas através do Sistema Integrado de Licenciamento.

Catanduva fechou dezembro de 2011 com a 7ª melhor balança comercial entre todas as cidades do Estado de São Paulo, apresentando saldo de  reais, um aumento de 33,7 por cento em relação a 2010. A cidade é a 18ª maior exportadora do estado. No ano, foram exportados  reais e importados  reais.

O Instituto Brasileiro de Planejamento Tributário colocou Catanduva entre os maiores municípios do estado na geração e abertura de empresas em 2012, sendo 381 negócios abertos apenas no primeiro trimestre. A movimentação representa 0,24 por cento do total do estado, que, no geral, acumulou a abertura de 159 106 empresas.

O Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento indicou recentemente Catanduva como referência em gestão de Procidades, pois o município gerenciou o mecanismo de crédito que financia programas de desenvolvimento no país.

A Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo e o Centro das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo premiaram Catanduva com o Prêmio "Municípios que Fazem Render Mais", em 2012.

Pesquisa realizada no mês de julho pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística colocou Catanduva acima de cidades como Araraquara, Votuporanga, Barretos e São José do Rio Preto em consideração a vários critérios relacionados à infraestrutura urbana. Catanduva se destacou em vários índices, situando-se entre as melhores do Brasil.

Recentemente foi divulgado na mídia que a cidade será a primeira do Brasil a desburocratizar a abertura de empresas. Dessa forma, a abertura de empresas – que antes demorava até 160 dias, levará apenas um dia.

Ventiladores
Grande destaque da indústria catanduvense é a produção e o comércio de ventiladores, o que tornou Catanduva conhecida como a "Capital nacional dos ventiladores". As fábricas da cidade eram em 2008, responsáveis por cerca de 90 por cento da produção nacional de ventiladores e empregavam na época 60 por cento da mão de obra ocupada da indústria no município. Em quatro grandes empresas - Loren Sid, ARGE, Venti Delta e Ventiladores Tron -, trabalhavam naquele ano mais de  metalúrgicos. Em 2006 a cidade colocou no mercado  ventiladores de parede e de teto.

Cana-de-açúcar

Catanduva encontra-se situada, estrategicamente, na quarta maior região sucroalcooleira do Estado, produzindo cerca de  de toneladas de cana,  de sacas de 50 kg de açúcar e  de litros de álcool anidro e hidratado. Em 2009, o município exportou mais de  de dólares estadunidenses.

A região é um dos polos canavieiros paulistas mais importantes. Na cidade de Catanduva, está instalada a Biocana - Associação de Produtores de Açúcar, Álcool e Energia - uma sociedade civil sem fins lucrativos, que representa 14 empresas produtoras de cana-de-açúcar e derivados. A Biocana abrange todo o centro-sul do país.
Pertencem ao município a Usina São Domingos e a Cofco Agri, que são grandes empregadores do município.

A produção de cítricos também é relevante, com a cidade abrigando uma unidade da Citrosuco, pertencente ao Grupo Fischer.

Café
A Cocam é a única fábrica a descafeinar café verde no Brasil, obtendo, como subproduto, a Cafeína Anidra purificada. Iniciou suas atividades em 1970. Foi a primeira fábrica de café solúvel no Brasil a produzir o freeze dried.

Calçadão

O Calçadão de Catanduva está situado na rua Brasil, no centro, se estendendo desde o cruzamento da Praça Monsenhor Albino até a rua Paraíba, tendo aproximadamente 600 metros de comprimento. A passagem, porém, não é exclusiva de pedestres como em outras localidades, já que há tráfego de veículos, neste espaço a calçada de ambos os lados da via tem dimensões maiores fazendo com que a via de veículos tenha apenas uma faixa no eixo central do calçadão. Além disso, há diversos bolsões na extensão da rua onde é possível o estacionamento de veículos, porém com limite de permanência.

O local concentra uma grande quantidade de comércio como lojas de calçado, vestuário, departamentos e lanchonetes, além de agências bancárias e farmácias. Devido ao grande movimento de pessoas, durante o período de fim de ano, o comércio do Calçadão de Catanduva e suas imediações tem seu horário de funcionamento estendido, ficando aberto até as 22 horas.

Garden Shopping Catanduva

O Garden Shopping Catanduva se localiza na Avenida Engenheiro José Nelson Machado, uma das principais da cidade, e foi construído pela Paez de Lima Construções, em processo de expansão no município de Catanduva. O shopping possui mais de 360 vagas de estacionamento, quatro lojas-âncora, três megalojas , três salas de cinemas, noventa lojas , 650 metros de vitrine e 11 mil metros quadrados de área de lojas.

O projeto arquitetônico do Garden Catanduva Shopping foi desenvolvido por Dominguez Felix Arquitetos Associados.

Grupo Maranhão
A cidade foi sede de um dos maiores atacadistas do Brasil, o Grupo Maranhão, que foi eleito o melhor atacado distribuidor do ano no estado de São Paulo pela pesquisa Nielsen/Associação Brasileira de Atacadistas e Distribuidores de Produtos Industrializados. O grupo declarou falência dia 6 de Março de 2018.

Infraestrutura
Dados divulgados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, obtidos através do Censo Demográfico de 2010, colocam Catanduva entre os melhores municípios do Brasil com relação à infraestrutura urbana.

Saúde

Hospital Emílio Carlos
Foi construído para ser Hospital Sanatório, mas foi desativado no início da década de 80. O hospital passou a ser administrado pela Fundação Padre Albino em 1983, com atendimento de Ambulatório.

Com 32 mil metros quadrados de área construída e 12 alqueires de área total, o "Emílio Carlos", com todos os seus leitos dedicados ao Sistema Único de Saúde, é Hospital Escola de Catanduva (UNIFIPA - Centro Universitário Padre Albino), que também são mantidas pela Fundação Padre Albino, atendendo as áreas de Clínica Médica, Clínica Cirúrgica, Clínica Pediátrica, Psiquiatria, Moléstias Infecto-Contagiosas e seu Ambulatório de Ensino reúne 37 especialidades médicas.

Unimed Hospital São Domingos

As obras de sua construção começaram em 1958, ocupando 7.200 m 2 . O Unimed Hospital São Domingos (UHSD) foi construído em um arrojado projeto arquitetado pelo Dr. Jarbas Karman.

Transportes

Rodoviário

 SP-310: É considerada uma das mais bem conservadas rodovias do país, classificando-se na primeira posição no ranking "Pesquisa CNT de Rodovias" da Confederação Nacional do Transporte em 2002, 2003 e 2007. Em 2011, a rodovia foi considerada a 7ª melhor do país na mesma pesquisa.
Seu traçado é na direção noroeste do estado, partindo das rodovias Anhanguera no km 153 e Bandeirantes no km 168, no município de Cordeirópolis e terminando em Mirassol, no entroncamento com a SP-320, a Rodovia Euclides da Cunha. Essa rodovia faz a ligação de São Paulo aos municípios de Rio Claro, São Carlos, Araraquara, Catanduva, São José do Rio Preto, dentre outros. Seu nome é em homenagem a Washington Luís Pereira de Sousa (1869-1957), presidente do Brasil pelo Partido Republicano Paulista e famoso pela frase "governar é abrir estradas".

Atualmente, a Rodovia Washington Luís é administrada sob concessão das empresas privadas Centrovias e Triângulo do Sol, apresentando vários pedágios ao longo de seu trecho. Possui pista dupla na sua totalidade (pista tripla em subidas longas).
 SP-321 Rodovia Cesário José de Castilho: Liga Catanduva à cidade de Bauru e faz conexão com a Rodovia Marechal Rondon. Atualmente é administrada sob jurisdição do DER-SP. Possui pista simples em quase toda sua extensão.
 SP-351 Rodovia Comendador Pedro Monteleone: Liga Catanduva à Santo Antônio da Alegria e ao Interior de Minas, sendo Considerada a 18° melhor rodovia do país na "Pesquisa CNT de Rodovias" da Confederação Nacional do Transporte de 2018 no trecho entre Bebedouro e Catanduva.

Transporte coletivo municipal

Catanduva conta com o Terminal Urbano Dr. Gerson José de Camargo Gabas, que é exclusivo para o transporte coletivo municipal e está localizado no Parque das Américas, na região central da cidade. Todas as linhas urbanas têm seu ponto inicial e final no terminal, e o usuário do serviço pode deslocar-se a qualquer ponto da cidade pagando uma única passagem dentro do período de uma hora por meio do Cartão Integração (usuários que não possuem o cartão devem pagar a passagem para cada ônibus utilizado). O transporte coletivo municipal atualmente é operado pela Auto Viação Suzano, que assumiu emergencialmente em 1 de agosto de 2019 e, após vencer a licitação realizada no mesmo mês, assume em definitivo o serviço pelo prazo de 10 anos renováveis por igual período.

Transporte coletivo intermunicipal
O município de Catanduva também é servido por várias empresas de transporte intermunicipal (suburbano e rodoviário) e duas empresas de transporte interestadual. Entre as empresas intermunicipais destacam-se Viação Luwasa (esta foi adquirida pela empresa Princesa do Norte em 2011, e está sendo gradualmente incorporada à mesma), Expresso Itamarati, Viação Cometa e Empresa Cruz. No segmento interestadual, as empresas operantes são a Viação Garcia, ligando Catanduva ao estado do Paraná, e a Viação Santa Cruz, que liga a cidade ao estado de Minas Gerais. Desde meados de 2009, ônibus intermunicipais e interestaduais têm circulação restrita dentro do perímetro urbano da cidade, o que gerou inúmeras reclamações dos usuários. Os veículos suburbanos são proibidos de circular no quadrilátero central da cidade, enquanto os ônibus rodoviários, de maior porte, têm acesso apenas à avenida que liga a Rodovia SP-351 à Estação Rodoviária. A mesma localiza-se em uma região afastada do Centro, rodeada por bares e locais ermos, além de ser uma região que apresenta estatísticas altas de criminalidade, o que facilita a ação de pedintes e usuários de drogas, principalmente no período noturno.

Frota de 102.022 veículos, em março de 2016.

Aeroviário
Catanduva é servida pelo Aeroporto Estadual Professor Eribelto Manoel Reino , localizado a 60 km de distância, na cidade de São José do Rio Preto.

Aeroporto de Catanduva
Fundado em 20 de janeiro de 1940, o Aeroporto João Caparroz sempre manteve um trabalho voltado para a formação de pilotos privados e comerciais. Ao longo de mais de 70 anos, já se formaram centenas de pilotos que estão exercendo atividades em companhias aéreas brasileiras e estrangeiras. Em 1948, Catanduva passou a receber voos comerciais da Real Transportes Aéreos, importante companhia de aviação comercial, tendo linhas para Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Curitiba, São José do Rio Preto, Araçatuba, Porecatu e Londrina, e às vezes escalas de aviões procedentes de Goiânia, realizadas por aviões Douglas DC3 e C-47. A Real chegou a ter sete linhas internacionais, existiu de 1946 a 1961, e aqui funcionou de 1948 a 1959.

Outra companhia aérea que operou em Catanduva foi a Vasp, que, em 1949, inaugurou sua linha de voos diretos para São Paulo, Santos e Rio de Janeiro, feitos por aviões Douglas DC-8. A Vasp funcionou em Catanduva cerca de três anos e seu escritório era na Rua Pernambuco.

Aeroporto da Usina Catanduva
O Aeródromo pertence à Usina Catanduva, sendo usado para pousos de aviões agrícolas.

Clube de Aeromodelismo de Catanduva
A pista está localizada na zona Norte da cidade, na Estrada vicinal que liga Catanduva à Novais.

Ferroviário

Linha Tronco da antiga Estrada de Ferro Araraquara
Possui 421 km de extensão, ligando Catanduva aos municípios de Araraquara e Santa Fé do Sul. Até 1973, o ponto terminal da linha ficava na cidade de Rubinéia, mas acabou desativado por conta da construção de uma usina hidrelétrica local.

Catanduva é cortada pela Linha Tronco da antiga Estrada de Ferro Araraquara, por onde é realizado todo o transporte de cargas da região atualmente. Por muitos anos, desde sua chegada na cidade em 1910, antes mesmo de sua emancipação, a Estrada de Ferro Araraquara (EFA) operou não somente o escoamento de toda a sua produção agrícola como também o transporte de passageiros da cidade até os municípios de Araraquara (onde se entroncava com a Linha Tronco da Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro (CPEF)) e Rubineia, em seu traçado original.

A estação foi aberta em 1910 como Vila Adolpho, nome do então distrito de São José do Rio Preto. O jornal O Estado de S. Paulo anunciava em 19 de agosto de 1909 que "foram aceitas pelo Governo as denominações de Pindorama e Catanduva para as estações dos quilômetros 65,880 e 76,700 do prolongamento de Taquaritinga a São José do Rio Preto". As alterações da linha nos anos 1940 e 1950 não tiraram a estação do leito original e, em 1955, passou por ali o primeiro trem já pela bitola larga.

Mesmo após a incorporação da EFA pela Fepasa em 1971, os serviços ferroviários permaneceram em operação na cidade a todo vapor. A única alteração feita pela Fepasa, foi a mudança do ponto terminal da linha, onde a partir de 1973, passou a ser a cidade de Santa Fé do Sul, devido a construção de uma usina hidrelétrica em Rubinéia, que desativou o traçado final original. Em 1999, após a privatização da Fepasa, a extinta concessionária Ferroban assumiu a linha férrea, mantendo os transportes de cargas e de passageiros por forças contratuais.

A Estação Ferroviária de Catanduva era frequentemente movimentada por passageiros, principalmente por ter sido por muitos anos, o ponto de intervalo do trajeto feito pelas composições vindas de Araraquara e em algumas épocas, vindas da capital paulista e de São José do Rio Preto para a troca de maquinistas, de onde partiam e realizavam o trajeto final da ferrovia até Santa Fé do Sul.

Em 15 de março de 2001, ali parou o último trem de passageiros, vindo de São José do Rio Preto para Itirapina, em um tradicional e breve intervalo de troca de maquinistas. Foi mantido no município apenas o transporte de cargas, realizado atualmente pela Rumo Logística.

Desde março de 2009, a Estação Ferroviária de Catanduva abriga a sede da Secretaria da Cultura do município e centro cultural, com o nome de "Estação Cultura".

In this blog post, I'll be covering Configuration and Customization as the next critical factor of SAP payroll. In previous blog posts I covered Data Integrity and Integration.
I believe there are four major areas of configuration and customization, all of which can be accomplished using standard SAP functionality.
Beyond those major areas, we can get a better understanding of how things are working or enhance how payroll processes using tcode PE04 to review or customize Operations and Functions.
First let's look at SAP Project using tcode SPRO and more specifically the Payroll: USA node.
Configuration of most payroll functionality may be completed by following the sequential steps in SPRO. Do keep in mind that not all nodes are required if specific functionality will not be utilized.
If your configuration is not currently documented or the documentation is outdated or in a poor state, you can easily follow the nodes to document configuration. This exercise is well worth the effort because it will undoubtedly bring up questions about why some items are configured they way they are. You may also identify pieces of configuration that are not setup causing you to miss out on useful functionality. Prior to beginning a new project to add functionality, understanding what is already configured will provide guidance. If functionality exists, but is not exactly what is needed, you can use that as a starting point.
Integration points we talked about in the previous post are found in tcode SPRO.
Next we'll cover Schemas in tcode PE01.
Schemas control the payroll processing steps and provide the instructions for the payroll program. They supply the logical flow of data in, calculation performance, and data out of the payroll program. The schema calls snippets of code within the payroll program for calculations, etc. at the appropriately defined time. Schemas call the snippets of code through functions and are highly customizable and flexible to meet business requirements. However, configuring has a feel of mixing table configuration and programming together that may be more difficult to catch onto as quickly. You must also keep in mind that schemas are not date delimited like most of the table configuration entries.
Next up are the Rules in tcode PE02.
Rules provide the logic flow of processing payroll and are attached to schemas and executed during payroll processing. Schemas trigger the use of a rule through assigning a function and rule. Rules contain operations that perform calculations or other decision logic, but configuration is not necessarily intuitive. Just like schemas, rules have the feel of mixing table config and programming together and are not date delimited.
Careful consideration should be taken when determining where to place a rule in a schema. Specific data may need to be pulled from employee master data or configuration tables or calculations performed prior to reaching the new schema.
The next major area of configuration is Features using tcode PE03.
Last, but not least, we need to discuss the importance of documentation as part of configuration and customizing.
Another area of documentation is the definition of service level agreements (SLA). The business and support working closely together to define the SLA is very important because it helps to prioritize and resolve issues in a timely manner. SLAs should be put in place whether the support is internal or outsourced to a third party.
Keep in mind, that SLAs should be defined both ways. User acceptance testing turnaround time should be known to assist in determining adequate resourcing for the business.
SAP provides a step-by-step method to configure most of the functionality required to run payroll. Customizing schemas, rules, and features we can enhance the configuration to meet nearly all business needs. Documentation of the configuration and customizations along with SLAs is critical to the success of ongoing maintenance and support.
Please join us for our next blog post where we'll discuss HRSPs and LCPs as another critical factor in SAP payroll.

Legrand Legacy is the debut title of Semisoft, an indie studio based in Jakarta. For a title that's been brewing since 2016, it's already had its fair share of industry accolades in its short lifetime – these range from being a finalist at SXSW's pitch competition to being showcased at PAX West and E3 in 2017.
Billed as a return to golden era of JRPGs, the title has admittedly large shoes to fill of its own making. In this case, one might argue that drawing direct comparisons to games of yore is courting danger, and you'll probably be right in that regard. Legrand Legacy has an unfortunate issue with follow-through, but it deserves praise for bravely sticking to its guns despite a murky narrative and overwhelmingly clunky combat.
Things get off to a rather dramatic start in the world of Legrand Legacy, and its opening cutscene captures an initial burst of excitement that gradually runs out of steam as you're introduced to the trials and tribulations of the title's characters. That's not to say that the foundation for the game isn't solid; in fact, it's probably the opposite.
You've got all the usual JRPG suspects here: an amnesiac hero who harbours a hidden power, a talented band of underdog accomplices tied together by fate, a skilled warrior with an icy exterior who happens to be a woman, and wizened paternal figures who harbour plenty of secrets. Oh, and there's turn-based combat too. The game is a grab bag of common tropes that we've seen succeed time and time again so on paper, it looks great. In execution, it feels just as it's been described: like someone strung together concepts that work without a thorough enough consideration of what ties all those elements together – a compelling story.
You're thrust into the world of the game, Legrand, via a cutscene of intense gladiatorial combat. From there, you're given all of ten minutes before your character's circumstances change and you're lifted out of abject slavery into a glorified bodyguard. Your new master reads minds, and thinks that you possess a power that you've never heard of in your meagre lifetime. If that description sounds rushed, that's because it is; everything you initially learn about Legrand is in the form of dialogue from NPCs.
If you weren't particularly interested in taking world history lessons from a street urchin, this game will soon have you changing your tune. Talking to everyone is the only real way to get a clear picture of how the world has ended up in its current state, and if you want to know anything about the dynamics of the various cities that you're in it, communicating with its inhabitants is a must. On its own, this is a nice sentiment; being incentivised to interact with the environment and with other characters is always a good thing in an game. However, where the issue lies is in the sheer amount of information that can pour out of the individuals that you interrogate on the street.
Legrand Legacy does a lot of frontloading, especially about the horrific state of affairs that you're finding yourself in early on. You play as Finn, a slave forced into the arena who slays a champion with the kind of hidden display of strength that lets mothers lift cars off babies. You black out after exercising this power, and then you're taken on a ride across the land when an old man buys your time.
From the word 'go', you're bombarded by endless dialogue from others about how terrible the world is. Slavery is rife, people are horrifically unhappy, and there's plenty of talk about how things used to be that hints at some kind of calamitous event caused by unknown forces. You learn a lot about the world at an extremely rapid pace, but once it's established that everything has gone to hell in a handbasket, there's not a lot left to engage with.
There's plenty of dialogue of the sort described above in Legrand Legacy, but it doesn't flow particularly well. The characters themselves aren't the issue; while they're based off popular genre clichés, they don't wear out their welcome by virtue of existing because their complexities and motivations maintain an aura of mystery for longer than you'd expect. Unfortunately, interactions between felt stilted and repetitive, even with the admirable sprucing up of character avatars during party dialogue in the vein of the Tales series.
Another aspect of the game that excellently mimics its predecessors is the combat system. It's not overly intricate, but its the usual turn-based affair that fans of JRPGs have long since become familiar with. Its singular point of difference is the use of an Action Circle mechanic i.e. you press a particular button when your characters are executing attacks or actions in combat, and your accuracy with that button press determines how successful that attack is. Testing it out both on a keyboard and with a controller didn't make much of a difference: nailing a perfect timing on the Circle was tough.
While the game initially tells you that mistiming an attack affects your damage, it doesn't go into detail about the downward spiral that you can be locked into if you mess up your Action Circle timing. The mechanic works for blocking attacks as well, and you'll be royally stuffed if you mess both that and your attack timing up because more often than not, an imperfect timing means a total miss. This is incredibly deadly even early on – the game has a chronic lack of checkpoints when you're out and about getting beat up by all sorts of monsters, so you're going to be incredibly on edge every time you waltz into combat.
One aspect that confuses, however, is how you're taught how to position characters. Stronger allies go up the front, ostensibly to protect spellcasters and the like who hide at the back of your group. However, enemies will often attack backline units even if you have a beefy tank up the front. While I can appreciate that positioning is often used as another layer in a combat system to increase complexity, it felt almost extraneous and the combat system overall could probably have done with a bit of a trim in order to feel enjoyable.
It's not all bad, though. There are also plenty of cool environmental factors that come into play when you're adventuring (climates will affect your health and speed to varying degrees), but they can occasionally cross the line into frustrating territory when you're having to deal with what feels like unfairly strong mobs at every turn. Dealing with hazards like unexpected quicksand and tightly-packed patrolling adds all add a nice layer of difficulty to the game, and it's as much about managing yourself in battle and strategising out of it when it comes to success.
Legrand Legacy also benefits from the use of a stellar soundtrack which draws on the talents of the same person recruited for the brilliant score in NieR: Automata. From the painstakingly illustrated environments to the detail put into the animated appearances of main characters, there's clearly been a lot of love put into the title despite its mechanical shortcomings. There are a variety of distinct ecosystems within the game – you go from a desert to a verdant environment to a city of pure wonder, and each brings its own unique challenges. For a small studio with what appears to have been a small budget, the art team has definitely tried to do its part in making a game that looks and sounds nostalgic. On that front at least, it's a success.
If you view Legrand Legacy strictly as a homage and not as a standalone title in itself with original merits, then adjusting your expectations accordingly is the key to being satisfied here. It's got all the hallmarks of a successful JRPG, but dressing it up in beautiful hand-drawn maps and a stunning soundtrack hasn't gone far enough in helping to conceal its flaws. It's a shame, because the bones of a great game are there. They're just too bogged down in a shaky delivery to be enjoyed in the manner that they deserve.


The Galleria del Cembalo hosts, until April 6th, a selection of works by the south-African visual activist Zanele Muholi. Born in Umlazi (Durban), Muholi lives in Johannesburg. Muholi's self-proclaimed mission is 'to re-write a black queer and trans visual history of South Africa for the world to know of our resistance and existence at the height of hate crimes in SA and beyond'.
By taking inspiration from the theatrical language, the artist plays a wide range of characters and archetypes. It is clear from her use of wigs, costumes, everyday objects, clothes pegs as well as metal flakes, straws, coat hangers. In order to strongly re-affirm her identity, she particularly emphasises her physical appearance by darkening her skin and brightening up her lips.
Looking at her eyes in her self-representation, many of us would find themselves in the act of looking away, feeling embarrassed or uneased because of the intensity of her look. Being in front of her photographs requires, first of all, an individual exercise of self-evaluation and a deep analysis towards a person who shows her real inner self in front of the camera and reveals her demands. As if an asynchronous tide, after the first impression comes to the surface another consideration, more rational than the first one: the political reasons behind such an unnegotiable personal sacrifice of her image. To fully understand that, it is necessary to wonder what the physical, social, perceptive, environmental implications are to be part of a minority, as Zanele Muholi states: «You live as a black person for 365 days».
The exhibition has been made in collaboration with Tosetti Value, the Family Office.

On a windswept northern shore, at the very tip of what will one day become Scotland, the islanders believe the worst they have to fear is a Viking attack. Then the burning comes. They cannot run from it. Water will not stop it. It consumes everything in its path – yet the burned still speak.
The Doctor is just looking for a game on the famous Lewis chess set. Instead he encounters a people under attack from a power they cannot possibly understand. They have no weapons, no strategy and no protection against a fire sent to engulf them all.
Add in some marauding Vikings with very bad timing, a kidnapped princess with a secret of her own and a TARDIS that seems to have developed an inexplicable fear of water, and they all have a battle on their hands. The islanders must take on a ruthless alien force in a world without technology; without communications; without tea that isn't made out of bark. Still at least they have the Doctor on their side… Don't they?
A thrilling new adventure starring the Doctor, as played by Matt Smith in the acclaimed Doctor Who series from BBC Television.
Jenny T. Colgan has written 13 bestselling novels as Jenny Colgan, which have sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

A lifelong Doctor Who fan, at the age of 11 she won a UK fan competition to meet the Doctor and was mistaken for a boy by Peter Davison. Her favourite episodes are 'Silence in the Library' and 'Warriors' Gate'.
She currently resides in France with her young family.

Race/National Origin Discrimination
What constitutes race discrimination?
Race discrimination involves treating an applicant or employee unfavorably because he or she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features.
What constitutes national origin discrimination?
National origin discrimination involves treating applicants or employees unfavorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they appear to be of a certain ethnic background (even if they are not).
What are some examples of race and national origin discrimination?
Race and national origin discrimination can occur at any point in the employment relationship from the job interview process to separation from employment. Below are some common examples from prior cases:
Hiring:
» Janitorial services provider recruited solely through media directed at Eastern European immigrants and hired people from those groups over Hispanics. » Investment management firm failed to hire an African American female applicant who exceeded all requirements for the job, received highly favorable comments during third party assessment of her personality and aptitude and where company manager said she was "obviously qualified for the position."
Customer Preference:
» Company which provided in-home nursing assistants to senior citizens coded the preferences of clients who requested white caregivers, and made assignments based on the preferences. For example, "circle dots" referred to the clients that preferred Caucasian caregivers. » Retail clothing store refused to let an Asian-American employee work in the front of the store because it believed the store's image with customers would be enhanced by having a white employee at the front of the store.
Company-Wide:
» Motor carrier awarded Latino employees less favorable assignments, more difficult and demanding work, enforced break times more stringently, subjected their work to heightened scrutiny, and disciplined them for minor misconduct. Company also segregated employees into work groups based on race. » Packing company subjected Black employees to intimidation, ridicule, racially offensive comments and jokes, and cartoons and images that denigrated African-Americans. White employees and managers regularly emailed racially derogatory materials to coworkers, and posted racially offensive photographs on the bulletin board outside the human resources office.
Job Segregation:
» Nightclub harassed, segregated and provided different terms and conditions of employment to two African-American door men because of their race. The managers of the club used racial slurs when speaking to the doormen, forced them to work in the back of the club instead of at the entrance, and complained that "black music makes the club look bad." » Delivery service company assigned Latino drivers to predominately Latino neighborhoods and white drivers to white neighborhoods. Latino employees were assigned to more difficult and dangerous work than white employees.
» White manager at automotive company used the "N-word" to refer to two Black employees and made racially derogatory comments and jokes on a near daily basis at the dealership. The same manager referred to one Black employee as a "gorilla" while the employee was holding a banana. Manager also imposed stricter work-related rules upon the dealership's Black employees by disciplining them for conduct that non-Black employees were not disciplined for. » Asian Indian employee was subjected to ethnic taunts, such as being called "dot-head" and "Osama Bin Laden," and was physically attacked by a coworker who believed he was Bin Laden's brother. Employee was also denied training and promotional opportunities afforded to his white coworkers.
Pay Disparity:
» Air Conditioner Manufacturer discriminated against its Hispanic employees where it paid them less than their Caucasian colleagues even when employees were in similarly situated positions. » Office products supplier failed to promote Asian-American account manager after promising to do so or increase his base salary despite good performance. Employee resigned and was replaced by two white account managers who were given higher base salaries.
Same Race:
» Transportation shuttle service discriminated against Asian American drivers by hiring Asian immigrants from China and denying them more profitable routes while sending them to destinations where no passengers awaited pickup. » Black hospital director told Black subordinate that he only hired her because she is a Black woman and referred to her by race and gender slurs such as telling her to "get your Black ass out of here" and telling her that she better not file an EEOC complaint.
National Origin:
» Technology company suspended and then fired an employee from Peru after she complained that a manager said that he "hated Hispanics" and that "people from South America are drug dealers." » Arab waiter suffered harassment from customers including from a customer who told him, "If you don't like it, why don't you go back to your country?" and "I fought two wars to get rid of people like you!"
Should I file my complaint under state or federal law?
Employment discrimination is outlawed under both California law and federal law. However, state law is more pro-employee in many ways including the following
• Employers are strictly liable for discrimination by a supervisor whereas under federal law employers have a possible defense.
• Proving that the perpetrator of the discriminatory conduct falls within the definition of a supervisor is easier under state law.
• There is no cap on punitive or compensatory damages whereas under federal law there is a $300,000 limit for large employers.
These types of differences can make a major difference in the value of your case and so it is usually advantageous for an employee to file their discrimination claim under state law.
How long do I have to file my race or national origin discrimination claim?
Two time limits apply for filing race and national origin discrimination claims under California law. First, you must request a right to sue notice from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing within one year of an adverse employment action. Secondly, you must file your lawsuit in state court within one year of obtaining the right to sue notice.
For instance, if you are terminated from employment on June 1, 2013 and obtain a right to sue letter on September 15, 2013 you would then have one year (until September 15, 2014) to file your discrimination lawsuit in state court.
How can an attorney help you?
An attorney can help navigate the complex process required to file and litigate a discrimination complaint. Our firm is well-versed in gathering initial facts, advising clients on their alternatives, preparing a complaint, and litigating a discrimination case until resolution. Remember: no recovery, no fees. We only get paid if we obtain a positive recovery in your case.
We can review the facts of your case and give you an honest evaluation of any race discrimination issue you are facing.

Even as Indian wrestlers gear up for the Rio Olympics, they may have to face one of their own in the main event. An Indian-origin wrestler Vinod Kumar Dahiya is all set to represent Australia at the Rio Olympics, after he qualified in the 66kg weight category in Greco-Roman event.
The 31-year-old grappler secured an Olympic berth after winning a silver medal at the African/Oceania Olympic qualifiers in Algeria.
Vinod Kumar Dahiya hails from Khanda village in North Haryana. He became an Australian citizen only a year back. Moving to the country as an international student, Vinod climbed the college wrestling hierarchy. Based in Victoria, the Indian-origin wrestler has so far claimed six national championships and several medals at the Australia Cup and Canberra Cup tournaments.
Following the footsteps of his elder brothers, Vinod started wrestling at the tender age of just eight. Seeing his potential, he was sent to New Delhi's 'Mahabali' Satpal's wrestling academy in 1998. Thereafter, he participated in state and national competitions for four years. He also competed in the popular Indian sport of 'dirt' wrestling competitions. He migrated to Australia in 2010, where he began training at the United Wrestling Club under former Wresting Australia President, another Indian, Kuldip Bassi.
As far this particular wrestling category and India is concerned, it has only one qualifier in Hardeep Singh for the Greco-Roman genres. In this case, India's loss is Australia's gain.
