Partnering with the Community Foundation for Brevard gives philanthropists access to expert counsel and community knowledge to elevate your philanthropy from transactional check writing to transformative social investment. Our blog and our Foundation Focus online publication brings together a wide array of featured stories on nonprofit organizations, information about local issues and strategies for effective philanthropy.
One of more than 750 community foundations in the United States, the Community Foundation for Brevard was formed in 1981 by community leaders who believed that charitable giving is an incredibly powerful way to make our local community a better place for us all. Community foundations are tax-exempt public charities that serve local philanthropists who wish to take an organized approach to giving. Community foundations are public nonprofits so their philanthropists enjoy increased tax advantages not available to private foundation donors. Community foundation philanthropists also receive professional support without hiring staff. Unlike private foundations, community foundations invest and administer a pool of funds contributed by numerous philanthropists. Together, these philanthropists create an endowment—in essence, a community savings account—designed to ensure the long-term health of the nonprofit community.

How does the Community Foundation for Brevard invest its funds?
As stewards of the community's funds, the Community Foundation for Brevard invests for perpetuity. Foundation assets, including endowments, are professionally invested in a balanced, diversified portfolio to strengthen grantmaking while creating sustainable growth. For more information, please contact us.
An endowment is a permanent fund that is invested. The income is used for charitable purposes, while the principal is never spent. It is invested to grow over the years and continue to do good things forever.
What organizations are supported by the Community Foundation?
Our funding is shaped by our donors. Grants are made to a variety of nonprofit organizations in areas such as education, arts and culture, health and human services, community development, animal welfare, conservation, and many others.
Who makes up the Community Foundation's donors?
Our donors are individuals, families, corporations, and charitable organizations who wish to make a difference in the lives of others and to make the community a better place. Donors range from people of modest means to those with substantial financial resources. By establishing a fund or donating to an existing fund within a community foundation, donors can contribute their gifts of cash and appreciated property toward a permanently named endowment fund. Many donors are interested in planned giving and have the Community Foundation in their Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts or bequests.
Often, people establish a family foundation or a private foundation because they don't know that in many cases, working through the Community Foundation offers an easier alternative. In addition to the tax benefits, setting up a fund through the Community Foundation has an extremely short turn-around time. Additionally, the staff of the foundation becomes available to help with grants, screen grant requests, and take care of auditing and financial reporting requirements. Many community foundation donors are also pleased by the fact that community foundations have none of the annual payout requirements of a family foundation, so donors may leave their funds dormant when they lack the time to focus on it in any given year.
What is the difference between setting up a charitable fund through my investment firm and establishing a charitable fund at the Community Foundation?
A Community Foundation provides much more than the check writing services of a gift fund at a brokerage house. One of the most significant advantages to setting up a fund with us is our philanthropic services team, which provides custom research on a nonprofit organization or issue area at your request. Our staff will also meet with you individually to help develop a strategic approach to grantmaking. Additionally, you will be invited to attend exclusive learning and connection events.

The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors that is representative of the community at large.

Why should my client set up a fund through the Community Foundation for Brevard?
There are a variety of benefits for clients who choose to establish a fund at the Community Foundation for Brevard and make their philanthropic gifts via their fund. For example: Partnering with the Community Foundation to set up a fund is faster, easier and less expensive than establishing a private foundation, and includes the opportunity to engage with our experienced philanthropic advisors. Many donors also prefer the benefits of the donor advised fund platform, including the freedom from annual distribution requirement and annual Form 990-PF filings. Plus, grants can be made anonymously, an option that is not available with a private foundation.
If a client has a high-income year (due to a fluctuation in earnings, the sale of a business or property, etc.) he or she may wish to "pre-fund" future charitable giving by contributing an optimized amount to a fund with us. She or he would then benefit from a larger-than-usual charitable deduction, which can be taken in the year of contribution to a charitable fund at the Community Foundation, to offset his or her higher income tax obligation. Plus, she or he would have funds set aside to use in future years for their ongoing charitable giving.
If a client wishes to become more strategic in their philanthropy, and move beyond transactional check-writing to more focused, impact-driven giving, he or she may want to take advantage of the advice and consulting services provided to the Community Foundation for Brevard philanthropists by our experienced team to develop and implement a giving plan that meets those goals.
Some clients prefer to remain anonymous when making some or all of their charitable gifts. A fund at the Community Foundation for Brevard permits them to make grants to the organizations of their choice while keeping the source of the grants confidential.
The Community Foundation for Brevard's fund statements makes it easy to keep track of grants made throughout the year and can be a useful tool in ensuring that a client's giving is distributed across the desired organizations and in the desired amounts. Plus, there is only one "contemporaneous receipt" generated upon each contribution to the fund, which may simplify the client's record keeping at tax time.

If I'm interested in establishing a fund, how do I know which kind to choose?
The first priority is to determine your charitable goals. Next, the Community Foundation for Brevard staff and your financial or legal advisor can assist with recommendations about which type of fund would best suit your goals. You can set up an unrestricted fund to help meet a variety of needs within the community, or specify a purpose or area of concern to support with a field of interest fund. Some donors choose a designated fund which identifies a single charitable organization to support. Others opt for a donor advised fund, which allows active involvement in recommending grants. You also may name the fund you create – for yourself, a spouse, family members, a company, or a friend.
After I establish a fund, how can I add to it?
You may add to your fund at any time and there is no minimum requirement for additional contributions. Additional gifts may also provide additional tax benefits.
Is it possible to make a gift now that will provide charitable benefits in the future?
Absolutely. A simple way to achieve this goal is through a bequest in your will, a distribution from your retirement plan, insurance policy or trust, or Charitable Gift Annuity.
What are the costs in setting up a fund?
There is no cost to establish a fund at the Community Foundation. We will handle your fund's grant administration, IRS tax reporting, record keeping, investment management, due diligence, and safeguard that the monies granted are used for the intended purpose for a low annual administrative fee. This ensures that more of your charitable dollars go to the projects and issues close to your heart.
How do I make grant recommendations from my fund?
You may simply complete, sign, and return a Grant Recommendation Form You may provide the form via US Mail, fax or email. Fund advisors can make grant recommendations from their fund as often as they like. Some fund advisors choose to recommend grants monthly or quarterly, while others make grants on an annual basis.
Yes, absolutely. You may choose that your name, the name of your fund, or both remain anonymous in the transmittal letter that accompanies your grant checks in some or all of your grants. It is a simple process, and we are keenly aware of the importance of maintaining anonymity for our philanthropists who request it.
No portion of event expenses can be paid through your donor-advised fund. In 2006, the IRS ruled that the costs associated with fundraising events cannot be separated. Therefore, event tickets, auction items and other such benefits cannot be purchased through your fund.
It is possible to set up a multi-year commitment from a Community Foundation for Brevard fund. However, this has to take the form of a letter of intent from the Foundation and the grantee. The Community Foundation cannot honor any pledge commitments from a donor to an organization. If you plan to make a multi-year commitment that will be paid out of a Community Foundation for Brevard fund, it is crucial that you work with us from the outset and do not sign any pledge documents.
You can be as specific as you like. Simply detail your request in the 'Purpose' section of the DAF Grant Recommendation and we will include your restrictions in the check letter and grant agreement that is sent to the organization with their grant check.
Yes. Philanthropy offers an opportunity to pass on the family's philanthropic traditions and family values. Creating a donor advised fund with children as the successor advisors can be one of the most powerful and meaningful gifts a parent can make. Our team can work with you on the best ways to involve children and grandchildren in the joys of philanthropy through a fund at the Foundation.
The Community Foundation sends semiannual statements, and more frequently upon request. Statements reflect contributions, disbursements, investment activity, and the overall change in the fund balance.
Can philanthropic funds established at The Community Foundation for Brevard benefit organizations outside of Brevard County?
Yes. We help donors achieve their philanthropic goals in Brevard County and beyond.
Donors that have established charitable funds that make grants to nonprofit organizations based on their own areas of interest. Typically, these funds do not accept direct requests from individual nonprofit organizations. However, through our in-depth consulting services to individual donors and their families, we share our community knowledge with philanthropists and act as a matchmaker—connecting philanthropists to local nonprofit organizations.

We're riding 3,000 miles across America for clean water.
The Race Across America (RAAM) is considered to be the world's toughest bike race, with riders completing a cross-country trek in fewer than nine days. Starting in Oceanside, California, RAAM spans 3,000 miles, climbs 175,000 feet, crosses 12 states and finishes at City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland.
Open to amateur and professional racers, in solo, 2-, 4- and 8-person relay teams, there is no other race in the world comparable to RAAM. Not only has RAAM proved to be one of the most challenging races in the world, but has become a huge platform for racers to raise awareness and money for charities of their choice.
We're cycling for water. In June 2019, our team is taking on the world's toughest bike race—riding 3,000 miles across America to raise awareness and money for clean water and sanitation. Funds raised will go to Water For People, an organization that promotes the development of high-quality drinking water and sanitation services, accessible to all, and sustained by strong communities, businesses, and governments.
Please join us by supporting our efforts and donating to help us meet our goal of $100,000. Every dollar counts.
The 2017 EA/Water For People team finished the race in 8 days, 5 hours, and 57 minutes. The 2019 team goal is to finish in 7 days, 6 hours.

Thinking Local
Via Laura, I see an artisanal farmer has read some old books on animal husbandry, and renounced some of the more romantic historical views of the locavores:
I discovered that the history we were telling ourselves in the local farm and food systems movement was a myth. It was, in fact, a complete fabrication with no historical basis at all. We had simply wiped G. W. Swift clean from history. We had written away Sinclair's jungle (and his socialism!). In our tale, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia were fed by local, or maybe even regional, farms. In our tale, Grandma, bought local meat from her neighborhood butcher.
My old books say different. My old books say that we wrote away the perfection of Swift's refrigerated rail car by 1880, making it possible to slaughter hundreds of thousands of cows, millions of pigs, and millions of lambs in Chicago and ship them to the major population centers of the east. In other words, we wrote out of existence the great stockyards of Chicago where millions upon millions upon millions of animals from the Western range lands were slaughtered after being fattened on mountains and mountains of corn, which has also been wiped clean from our history.
My old books talk about selling not directly to local butchers, local grocers, or to Grandma. They talk about selling at central livestock markets, almost universally, there being here and there an occasional reference to what we would consider local sales. The prices farmers received ebbed and flowed with the supply dropped off for sale at these central markets because before World War II, before 1900 even, farmers were already selling commodities. We can go back even further than that. One of the major exports of the early American colonies to Britain was barrel upon barrel of brined pork.
I actually had no idea that such obviously ahistorical views were common in the local food movement--indeed, I suspect that he exaggerates. It's true that you can get terrific local produce in my grandparents' farm town, and always have been able to--but they were hauling milk and produce to the railhead for shipment to cities in the 1920s. That's where they made their real money, not off of their neighbors. And I can't imagine how the local food movement could have been unaware of Upton Sinclair's classic muckraking work on the vast meatpacking industry that existed at the turn of the 20th century. I mean, I can easily see how this could have escaped the notice of individual locavores, but surely the movement as a whole can't have believed that industrial farming started in 1940?

Bloody hell, we didn't half open a can of worms! It seems as if everyone, their dog, and their uncle have views on concert photography. Great, of course, but not all of it makes sense. In the past we've covered live photography at big and smaller venues, and both of those entries attracted a lot of insightful comments (you may want to go back and re-read the posts and comments, because there really is a lot of good going down there).
You can be technically adept but still take crap photos, the trick is knowing when to click the shutter. Watch the performance for a moment, where is the light on stage? You may have to wait for the performer to move into the light.
My favourite shots are ones that show emotion and energy. Go for a shot when the singer steps away from the mic, you don't want it obscuring your shot. Try and get one when the singer is "in the moment", reaching for a high note or gesticulating.
… Who also goes into further depth in a separate article titled "Tips for live music / concert photography : Boudist". Worth a read!

Stocks and Housing Losses Totaling $35 Trillion?
by Wall Street Rebel | James DiGeorgia | 01/21/2022 4:25 PM
A recent Business Insider piece highlights famed investor Jeremy Grantham's forecast that the United States is in an "epic market bubble." It could burst, resulting in the worst financial disaster in human history, wiping away $35 trillion in value.
Legendary British investor Jeremy Grantham who is also the co-founder and chief investment strategist of Grantham, Mayo, & van Otterloo (GMO), a Boston-based asset management firm, isn't hedging in his warnings that the U.S. stock and real estate markets are on course to suffering the worst crash in human history; as much as $35 Trillion in loses.
His latest note to the clients of GMO included 12 quotes from his perspective as a market historian that every investor should be aware of whether they agree with him or not.
1. "Today in the U.S., we are in the fourth superbubble of the last hundred years." – The others were in stocks in 1929 and 2000 and housing in 2008, Grantham said.
2. "The equity bubble… has now been joined by a bubble in housing and an incipient bubble in commodities."
3. "In a bubble, no one wants to hear the bear case. It is the worst kind of party-pooping. For bubbles, especially superbubbles where we are now, are often the most exhilarating financial experiences of a lifetime."
The stock market may already be starting to implode
4. "The final feature of the great superbubbles has been a sustained narrowing of the market and unique underperformance of speculative stocks, many of which fall as the blue-chip market rises. This occurred in 1929, in 2000, and it is occurring now." - The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has fallen 9% year-to-date.
5. "The most important and hardest to define the quality of a late-stage bubble is in the touchy-feely characteristic of crazy investor behavior. But in the last two and a half years, there can surely be no doubt that we have seen crazy investor behavior in spades… especially in meme stocks and in EV-related stocks, in cryptocurrencies, and NFTs."
6. "When pessimism returns to markets, we face the largest potential markdown of perceived wealth in U.S. history." – Grantham said mixing three asset bubbles is extraordinarily dangerous and said the S&P 500 could drop 45%.
7. "If valuations across all of these asset classes return even two-thirds of the way back to historical norms, total wealth losses will be on the order of $35 trillion in the U.S. alone."
Grantham is blaming the U.S. Federal Reserve for putting the U.S. stock and real estate markets in danger
8. "All of the economic and financial dangers that are now building up from multiple major bubbles do not appear to be considered especially dangerous by the Fed or most of its equivalents around the world."
9. "With the clear dangers of an equity bubble revealed in 2000 to 2002, the even greater dangers of a housing bubble in 2006 to 2010, and the extra risk of doing two asset bubbles together in Japan in the late 1980s and in the U.S. in 2007, what has the Fed learned?"
His answer "Absolutely nothing, or so it would appear."
Grantham investing advice based on the rising danger of a $35 Trillion crash
10. "Avoid U.S. equities and emphasize the value stocks of emerging markets and several cheaper developed countries, most notably Japan. Speaking personally, I also like some cash for flexibility, some resources for inflation protection, as well as a little gold and silver."
11. "Cryptocurrencies leave me increasingly feeling like the boy watching the naked emperor passing in procession. So many significant people and institutions admire his incredible coat, which is so technically complicated and superior that normal people can't comprehend it and must take it on trust. I would not."

Plans to replace Jupiter High School's annual tackle powder-puff football game with a flag-football or kickball match have fallen through, according to several students and a parent who fought the dismantling of the original full-helmet-and-pads event.
"It just didn't work out, no one wanted to do it anymore," said Caitlin Walsh, a senior.
School district officials confirmed Wednesday that the plans for an alternative event fell flat due to lack of interest.
Some students, lead by a core group of would-be players and their male counterparts who planned to coach, have instead focused their energies on finding an alternate, off-campus venue to let juniors and seniors face off in full gear.
It was alternative that School Board member Debra Robinson suggested after students made their plea to save the game at the last board meeting.
The students have raised more than $800 to pay the premium on a $2 million insurance policy that would cover their practices and the game. They've found equipment and even a possible field – a city park in Abacoa.
"The only thing we are waiting for now is the town manager," said Savannah Tardonia, a 17-year-old senior.
The manager, Andy Lukasik, could not be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon, but the girls are not at all clear that he's on board – Walsh has head that he's opposed.
The Palm Beach County School District was quite clear when it supported Principal Dan Frank's move to end the tackle element of the tradition. Frank contends that the game puts players' safety at risk.
The district's risk management office agreed that the equipment wasn't suited for girls and the players' training would be inadequate.
The 50-year-old tradition was historically a fund-raiser for the school's athletic program, and over the years became a draw for generations of Jupiter graduates. It also was reported to be the last girl-tackle powder-puff game in the country.
The game's popularity may be the stumbling block, Walsh said.
The girls are eyeing a park as opposed to a full stadium. "They have small bleachers, like three rows. And that was their concern – capacity. There are only 250 parking spots and maybe 300 seats," Walsh said.
The game has been known to out draw even a regular season game, with 800 to 1,000 fans.
The only part of the school's powder-puff event that was intact was the pep rally which was to feature the boys taking on the role of cheerleaders. But now that too is out.
The rally had to be cancelled because of an unavoidable change in scheduling for some Advanced Placement exams that conflicted with the May 6 event, a district spokeswoman said Wednesday.


If you walk into most classrooms this time of year, the frenetic, pent-up energy of the students is palpable. Nearly every student seems prone to distraction. Kids are chattier and wiggling more vigorously. Having spent so much time together on a daily basis, students interact more like rival siblings than cohort peers. The classroom environment seems a little ill-fitting, as though they've outgrown their current grade's lessons and routines.
As the testing season comes to an end, final projects are evaluated, and end of year concerts and showcases fill the calendars, students, teachers, and parents eagerly commence a countdown towards the anticipated relief of summer. Many teachers, students, and even parents feel exhausted from a year filled with challenges, hard work, and growth, and yearn for a different routine. For most stakeholders involved in the day-to-day of school operations, the tradition of summer break represents a time to pause, to recharge–a reprieve from the intensity of the school year.
The leitmotif of these common conceptions of summer is one of a break, pause, and respite. This sentiment lacks a sense of opportunity or expectation for student development and growth. This stasis is borne out in the academic research about student learning in the summer. You are likely familiar with the dreaded "summer slide," where the break in structure and continuity from the lessons and routines of the classroom cause a regression in student skills measured in schools. And, as noted by the National Summer Learning Association, this decline in academic performance is exacerbated for students in high-poverty environments.
Teachers often end the school year with efforts to provide learning resources for summer use. These well-intentioned actions aim to give families vetted activities to prevent that summer learning drift. All too often, though, those resources go unused or ignored until the last few days of summer. Then, for some parents, the frenzied concern about their child's readiness kicks in and they feverishly try to fill many weeks worth of educational resources into a matter of hours. For most of the summer, students and families feel disconnected from a particular class and lack accountability or clarity on specific expectations.
What if, with only a little added effort, summer could be a time of growth for students?
By reframing the potential of summer, from "ten weeks of academic wilderness between school years" to "the start of the next learning opportunity," summer has the possibility to serve as a smooth, engaging, and uninterrupted continuation from one school year to the next. It can even be a catalyst to propel students on a path of growing and learning. This can be accomplished with small shifts in how teachers and schools communicate to families at the end of the school year. These shifts will provide guidance for families on how students can find greater success through meaningful learning experiences during the summer.
As mentioned, many teachers already provide a list of suggested resources for their students to utilize over the summer. These lists often include links to websites, community partnerships, and summer reading suggestions. They are usually created by the student's current teacher and centered around reinforcing the skills and activities from the grade level a student is completing. In shifting how we approach summer, consider instead using these communications to give families a preview of what is to come in the following grade level and guidance on how families can help students build new skills over the summer break.
As educators put together lists of resources for summer, they might consider framing these summer materials as a low-pressure, but fruitful time to build and focus on by considering the following approaches.
Family Engagement: For many families, the transition from intense connectedness to the school community during the school year to the solitude of summer break can feel jarring. Relationships and habits that are developed and fostered over the course of the school year are put on hold. By receiving a letter from the new team of teachers that will work with a given student, families feel like they have a contact point as they say goodbye to their current teacher. Beyond the summer email or letter, the school might also set up a Remind account to send out periodic messages and tips for families to continue learning.
Social-Emotional Skills: Summer is also a great time for developing social-emotional skills. There are many natural opportunities for play, and since kids often spend more time with family, the ratio of adult (or older sibling) to child is perfect for modeling and talking through experiences. Building social-emotional skills can be fun and easily incorporated into common activities. Summer focused communication can explain to families that as their children play games in the backyard or interact with friends they can help them to reflect on their experience. What did they see or hear from others that was kind? What did they do to be helpful? What makes a good friend? As families play board games on summer nights, talk about taking turns and being a good sport. When children go to the grocery store or doctor's office, talk about ways to practice patience. Can you sing a song? Tell a story? Play I Spy? By processing through these activities outside of school, students are more prepared to succeed in similar activities in school. Suggest utilizing the resources on Confident Parents, Confident Kids, a site that provides games, stories, and resources for kids and adults, with the explicit intention of helping families promote social-emotional skill development at home.
Familiarity with Upcoming Content and Curriculum: Simply by letting parents know the major themes that will be taught throughout the year, they can use opportunities throughout the summer to build background knowledge and familiarity. Will students be studying about life cycles of frogs? Encourage parents to take an extra moment to notice the frogs in a nearby lake on a walk around the neighborhood during the break. Will there be learning about fractions? Families might talk about fractions during a pizza night or while baking with measuring cups. By giving families tools to introduce students to these topics as they vacation or visit the zoo or simply walk around their neighborhood, students will have more to share and classroom conversations will increase in depth. Communications may suggest students explore news stories about these given topics on Newsela, a site that adapts news articles to varying reading levels. Or, families can be prompted to search for given topics on a custom search engine like kidtopia, that returns results from sources vetted be teachers, librarians, and educational organizations.
Send the letter out as a grade-level or grade-band team to all students rising to your grade-level.
In this letter, include information about reimagining summer, and then invite families to use the freedom and energy of this time to get a jumpstart on the next school year.
Work with school administrators to coordinate sending out or emailing this letter a week or two after the last day of school to ensure that this important information does not get lost in the overstuffed backpack filled with every book, handout, and leftover snack from the school year.
As teachers construct this letter, they can talk as a team with previous grade level team to identify some general areas of weakness for the particular cohort. Use these suggestions, along with ideas to engage families, build independence, practice social-emotional skills, preview content, and enhance academic learning, to draft your letter.
Summer and academic gains might seem as realistic a combination as a summer-loving snowman. But, teachers, parents, and students need to channel their inner Olaf and see beyond traditional conceptions of this time of year. Reaching out to families and communicating tangible, low-pressure ways to build student skills over the summer can have far-reaching benefits for students, teachers, families, and the overall school community. The transition from the leisurely pace of summer to the structures and routines of the school year will be filled with much less anxiety if parents have a sense of what readiness looks like and can work on those lessons beforehand. Students will meet the school door with more confidence having remained engaged in learning. Teachers will be able to jump into high-quality instruction much more quickly. And all this can be accomplished in ways that are easily integrated into common summer plans and activities.

Taiwan says it has never sought to use exchange rate for trade advantage By Reuters

By Liang-sa Loh TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwan has never sought to use foreign exchange rates to gain an unfair trade advantage, the central bank said on Sunday, after the U.S. Treasury said Taiwan tripped thresholds for possible currency manipulation under a 2015 U.S. trade law. The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday refrained from formally labelling Taiwan, along with Switzerland and Vietnam, as manipulators, citing insufficient evidence under a separate law. Taiwan's tech-focused exports have soared during theCOVID-19 pandemic because of global demand for laptops, tablets and other equipment to support the work-from-home boom, driving its trade surplus with the United States and jacking up the value of the Taiwan dollar. The China-U.S. trade war has also boosted U.S. demand for Taiwanese technology. In a statement, Taiwan's central bank said it had provided a report to the United States ahead of the Treasury's decision suggesting they suspend the three criteria used to judge manipulation during the pandemic. "Due to the special circumstances during the U.S.-China trade dispute and the COVID-19 pandemic, the current three U.S. inspection standards should not be used as appropriate indicators for the U.S. to assess the economic, trade and exchange rate policies of its trading counterparts," it said. Those thresholds are a more than $20 billion bilateral trade surplus with the United States, foreign currency intervention exceeding 2% of gross domestic product and a global current account surplus exceeding 2% of GDP. The central bank said that when communicating with the United States it had emphasised that Taiwan's exchange rate policy "aims to maintain an orderly foreign exchange market and financial stability, and has never intended to gain unfair trade advantages". Given the global free movement of capital, most foreign exchange transactions have "little relevance" to the import and export situation, it added. "The huge and frequent movement of international funds has become the main cause of exchange rate fluctuations."
The central bank also noted the close and mutually beneficial bilateral trade relationship Taipei and Washington have, and that they are "important partners in the technology supply chain".

After being imprisoned in the Shadow Academy and forced to drink the Dragon's Blood Elixer, Delaney manages to flee, a shell of his former self. Once he realizes he's being controlled by Magnus, he leaves the safety of the other Pyr, convinced he'll betray them. He's also convinced he's the only one who can destroy the source of the Dragon's Blood Elixer. After selling everything he owns and making his will, he heads out on his quest, uncaring if he walks away afterward or not. The one thing he didn't plan on though, was having his firestorm the night before the attack, nor meeting the women who gives him his first glimpse of hope in years. Too bad he won't be alive long enough to get to know the woman of his dreams.
Ginger doesn't know what to make of the tall delicious stranger who walks into the bar and makes her heart race. All she knows is her gut's never steered her wrong before, so she takes him home, never imagining he'd abandon her in the night. Determined to track him down and force an explanation from him, she's shocked to walk in on a dragon fight. Never in her wildest dreams would she imagine that the man who held her so tenderly the night before would be a dragon, and one intent on tearing his opponent to pieces.
Knowing she's setting herself up for heartbreak, she refuses to leave him, even knowing what he is. But can this haunted warrior be redeemed by love, or will his desire to end his quest also destroy his life?
This is book 4 of the series and it's still going strong. I've been reading nothing but Deborah Cooke's Dragonfire series for the past week, so I'm fully comfortable in the world and the characters. I will say though, I wanted to punch Delaney in the mouth more than once. Stupid man thought the only way to complete his mission was to die, not taking into account what anyone else would have to say about it. But I kept reading, knowing he'd (hopefully) come to his senses and accept the help from his fellow Pyr.
Deborah Cooke is a master storyteller, one whose grasp of the written word to transform you to another world is beyond phenomenal.

Q: FragmentManager in kotlin not recognized I want in my application to set A viewPager and pager adapter, but I cant implement it because I cant use fragmentManager.
i get the following err:
"Error:(45, 38) Classifier 'FragmentManager' does not have a companion object, and thus must be initialized here"
my code is:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager

private lateinit var pagerAdapter: mPagerAdapter
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2)
    pagerAdapter = mPagerAdapter(FragmentManager) // err is here
    viewPager.adapter = pagerAdapter
  }

class mPagerAdapter(fragmentManager: FragmentManager) :
        FragmentStatePagerAdapter(fragmentManager) {

    // 2
    override fun getItem(position: Int): Fragment {
        when (position) {
            0 -> return Tab1() as Fragment
            1 -> return Tab2() as Fragment
            2 -> return Tab3() as Fragment
        }
        return Tab1() as Fragment
    }

    // 3
    override fun getCount(): Int {
        return 3
    }
}

what should I do to solve this?

A: FragmentManager is the class name. fragmentManager, with a lowercase 'f', is the property reference to the getFragmentManager() method.
You want to instead use supportFragmentManager (as getFragmentManager() returns the Framework FragmentManager, not the Support Library FragmentManager):
pagerAdapter = mPagerAdapter(supportFragmentManager)

Northeastern University executed one of the most dramatic turnarounds in higher education. Its recipe for success? A single-minded focus on just one list.
By Max Kutner·	 8/26/2014, 4:03 a.m.
Admissions stats also played a big role in the rankings formula. In 2003, ranked at 127, Northeastern began accepting the online Common Application, making it easier for students to apply. The more applications NU could drum up, the more students they could turn away, thus making the school appear more selective. A year later, NU ranked 120. Since studies showed that students who lived on campus were more likely to stay enrolled, the school oversaw the construction of dormitories like those in West Village—a $1 billion, seven-building complex—to improve retention and graduation rates. NU was lucky in this regard—not every urban school in the country had vast land, in the form of decrepit parking lots, on which to build a new, attractive campus.
And so it was in 2004 when Freeland, a 63-year-old with bushy gray eyebrows and slightly unkempt hair, stepped out of a taxi near the waterfront in Washington, DC's fashionable Georgetown neighborhood. With his head down, his lips tightly pursed, he marched into the red-brick offices of U.S. News, determined to make the rankings wizard, data guru Robert Morse, his accomplice.
Meanwhile, other schools that couldn't successfully game the system were trying to cheat their way to the top.
In 2008, Baylor University told newly admitted students that they'd receive a $300 campus-bookstore credit if they retook their SATs, and $1,000 a year in student aid if the scores improved by more than 50 points. In 2009, an administrator at Clemson University, whose president shared Freeland's rankings fixation, admitted the school misrepresented financial information and purposefully rated institutions low on the peer assessments.
In 2011, Iona College officials admitted to misreporting acceptance rates, SAT scores, graduation rates, and alumni donation amounts over the course of a decade. In 2012, Claremont McKenna College copped to misreporting SAT scores for several years. Also in 2012, George Washington University admitted to inflating the percentage of students who graduated at the top of their high school classes, and Emory University said it had misreported high school GPAs for four years and SAT scores for nearly a dozen years.
Despite those instances, Brian Kelly, of U.S. News, says that misreporting is rare. U.S. News crosschecks some data with government records and other published sources, but that won't help if a school is lying about data across the board. When misreporting does occur, U.S. News says it might temporarily "un-rank" a school if the bad data affects its standing. "Ninety-nine point nine percent of the schools are treating this seriously and reporting with integrity," Kelly insists.
Because schools reap benefits from a high spot on U.S. News's list, he says, it makes sense for them to continue to throw money at the metrics. From the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, for instance, to lure students with high GPAs and SAT scores, private four-year schools increased spending on merit-based aid from $1.6 billion to $4.6 billion. Studies show that for every 10 merit-based scholarships, there are four fewer need-based scholarships. That's because schools often base merit on test scores, and students from lower-income families generally don't test as well, largely because they spend less on tutors and SAT prep. Tuitions rise to help universities keep pace, further reducing middle-class access to a top-flight education.
Freeland landed in Morse's U.S. News office that day in 2004 to discuss, among other things, how the publication handled students enrolled in NU's co-op program. Long the cornerstone of the university's curriculum, the program let students take breaks from their studies in order to gain professional experience in their chosen fields for months at a time. NU maintained that this jobs program was critical to its graduates' success—it was one of the school's greatest strengths. Unfortunately, Morse counted co-op students in enrollment data, making it look like more students were using university resources than actually were. This brought down the U.S. News "financial resources" criterion, thereby hurting NU's rank. From 2002 to 2003, that was the only metric in which NU actually did worse.
Though Morse initially wouldn't go along with Freeland's request to change the magazine's methodology to address Northeastern's co-op, Freeland emerged from the U.S. News office more confident than ever that NU could crack the top 100. Morse had agreed with Freeland's overall reasoning and helped him better understand the criteria. It was just enough insight for Freeland to work with.
The day after Freeland retired in August 2006, he was vacationing on Martha's Vineyard when he heard the news: The U.S. News rankings were out, and Northeastern had broken through the top 100, all the way to number 98. In his decade as president, Freeland had lifted the school up more than 60 spots, prompting the Boston Business Journal to later call NU's rise "one of the most dramatic since U.S. News began ranking schools." Before Freeland left, the trustees had voted again on an amount for his retirement supplement, awarding him around $2 million to acknowledge his success. Years later, the state would name him commissioner of higher education.

Staff Rants: MTA, Sophomore Year and Laurie Metcalf
Grace Halio
This week on staff rants, Tom is angry about MTA fares, Natasha feels stuck in a sophomore slump and Ryan is passionate about Laurie Metcalf and how the world has underrated her.
On MTA:
The quality to price ratio for the MTA is slowly waning, as is my patience for their shenanigans. I paid $5.50 round trip for the subway, like it's been for a few years — why the 6 train consistently gets stuck between 28th and 33rd is beyond me, but it does like clockwork. Why do we even need a 28th street stop? The 33rd street stop is close enough that it can be walked to. The 28th street stop isn't even wheelchair accessible while 23rd and 33rd are, so it's really for the lazy. The kicker comes from Metro North though. I paid $16.50 round trip to go to Yonker, on a Sunday — both times not during busy hours. Despite this, they limited the number of available cars, and I was forced to stand on the train both ways as they packed six cars' worth of people into four cars, which were also fifteen minutes late. It costs even more off peak for me to get home just to be even more inconvenienced. An off peak round trip ticket to New Caanan (I don't live in New Caanan, but it's the closest train station to my house that I can drive to) is $23 but requires a transfer at Stamford, a mildly annoying waiting game that usually results in being over packed into a train. You don't want to transfer? Spend $31 on a round trip peak ticket and prepare to also still be packed into a beyond capacity train. I'll happily pay less to receive shitty service, but charging $17 to $30 is ridiculous for the quality of service that is provided.
— Tom Miritello, Audio Engineer
On Sophomore Slumpin':
I didn't believe in the sophomore slump until this semester. I've only got classes three times a week, but I'm still somehow never home and never able to get more than six hours of sleep during the week. Between homework and actual work, I see my professors more than I see my roommates. You'd think I'd have the whole social life/work/school balance down after almost two years, but I think I'll still be behind on everything in my life by senior year. With my planning skills, I'll probably nap through graduation.
— Natasha Roy, Managing Editor-at-Large
On Laurie Metcalf:
It has been almost two months since this year's Oscars ceremony, and I am still not okay. Remember when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway erroneously announced "La La Land" as last year's best picture? Well, lightning always strikes twice, and I was fairly certain that such a mistake was fated for this year's award ceremony. When Academy Award-winning actor Mahershala Ali ("Moonlight") awarded this year's best actress in a supporting role to Allison Janney for "I, Tonya," I held my breath for Ali to scurry onto the stage at the eleventh hour and announce Laurie Metcalf ("Lady Bird") as the year's rightful victor. But I was wrong and left in utter disbelief.
Don't get me wrong, Janney is the second most underrated actress in Hollywood today. But wasn't this Metcalf's golden statuette to lose? What happened to the 22 critics awards she was honored with leading up to the ceremony? As expected, I was not alone in my disbelief. At least The New York Times seemed to agree with their February cover story that read: "Laurie Metcalf Was Hiding in Plain Sight." Willa Paskin eloquently writes, "the 62-year-old actress is finally showing off the extent of her range," but with all due respect, was her five decade-spanning career not evidence of this? Are we forgetting who exactly Ms. Metcalf is? At 62, the film, television and stage veteran has played the mom, Ms. Davis, in the "Toy Story" franchise, the gangbuster-sharp lawyer in "Pacific Heights," the vengeful Ms. Loomis in "Scream 2," the Emmy Award-winning and all-American television staple Jackie Harris in "Roseanne" and now — in her most acclaimed performance to date —the strong-headed, strong-loving mother we all deserve, Marion McPherson in "Lady Bird."
I'm glad commentators are calling 2018 the year of women because 2016 should have been Hillary Clinton's year and 2017 should have been Metcalf's. Fresh off her Tony Award win for "A Doll's House, Part 2," last year was Metcalf's closest shot to triple crown — a prestigious term for actors who have won an Academy Award, Tony Award and Emmy Award. But with this rapid resurgence in Metcalf's career, here's to hoping an Oscar is still in the actress' horizon.
In the words of Alexandra Wolfe for the Wall Street Journal, "suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, she's back" and oh, did she come to slay.

INTERVIEW: Still doesn't feel real
Brandon Gwinnutt on having things sorted
Defender Brandon Gwinnutt finalised his first professional deal last week and admitted today that his head was still spinning despite the fact that the ink is now dry on his twelve-month contract.
"It just feels like a massive relief to have it all finalised," he said. "I think the sinking in bit will come a little bit later.
"It still doesn't feel real at the moment, if I'm honest. I'm smiling every time I think about it and I don't think that will ever change.
"It's the dream of every young lad to have what has just happened to me happen to them, and I'm determined to make the most of it."
But, and as he keeps getting reminded by just about everybody who speaks to him these days – the hard work starts here.
"I've spent the last few weeks working hard because I want to be ready for when we get back in June," he told us. "I'm always thinking about what I can do to make myself better anyway, but I definitely want to hit the ground running.
"As a young player and a new member of the squad I think I will have to be seen to be putting a real shift in. The players with experience and who have done this before will just get on with it and they'll expect us to do the same."
"I do get nervous during the build up to anything I'm going to do," he added. "That's the same whether it's a game or anything else. I usually find that I settle down a few minutes into it and I think it'll go that way when I get back for pre-season.
"It's a challenge I'm more than ready to take on. I approach everything in the same way – there's no such thing as not being able to do something as far as I'm concerned.
"My family are the same. They have been there for me all the way and it was my mum who sat me down at Christmas and told me to go for it. She hasn't had to say that since because she knows I'm doing it for myself now.
"Mind you, if she sees me looking tired she still kicks me up the backside to make sure I'm going to do some training, but I think she knows I'm taking it all too seriously to waste the opportunity I've been given."
"It's like anything, though," he continued. "You have your bad days and you have your good days, and it's good to have someone there who will give you a bit of advice and push you on a bit.
"I'm going to the gym as often as possible and I'm doing my runs on the back of that, and hopefully that will put me in a good position."
"It's hard to explain how much I'm looking forward to getting back to work," he said. "My aim has to be to try to get a place in the first team. I know that won't be easy and the first step has to be to do what I can to be involved in the squad and we can see where it goes from there.
"The young players who have come through the system recently are an obvious incentive for all of us. It shows that the gaffer will reward you if you're doing well. It's up to the three of us who came through this year to follow in their footsteps."

On that reasoning, Windows 2000 must be the latest and greatest version. (Well, in some ways it is, but let's not go there )
If the dot might cause even more misunderstanding, take it out. So 202201 for example. No argument now as to which version is the latest. Or just use the date (YYYYMMDD): 20220126 - even more obvious, and handles the 'A' version issue too.
But in all honesty, I'll go with whatever versioning scheme is decided upon.

You jest, but I've had real world conversations within the last year with people who still think XP is about 7 years old.
Had they called it Windows 2001 I think a lot more people would have realised just how long in the tooth it was much earlier, and upgraded to something newer, except they didn't, because the name XP failed to indicate how old it was, and the newer versions failed to indicate how new they were.
It's a different side of the coin, but by not putting the year in there, people seemed to lose track of just how old the version of Windows they were running was, seeing no incentive to upgrade to (Vista)/7/8/10.
Not that Microsoft's clusterfuck of version numbering is something to look up to, 'Windows 10' is really about 5 very different versions of Windows, that was meant to be 'the last ever version of Windows' but now here we are on Windows 11.
Windows Server does use the YYYY naming system however.

Transfer News: Everton discussed Sean Longstaff-Tom Davies swap in the summer
Home » news » Transfer News: Everton discussed Sean Longstaff-Tom Davies swap in the summer
Everton reportedly proposed a swap deal to sign Sean Longstaff, with Tom Davies on offer, only for the deal to not come to fruition.
According to a report by The Athletic, Everton were so desperate to sign Sean Longstaff in the summer transfer window that they even offered a swap deal to prise him away from Newcastle United. Tom Davies was on offer for the Magpies, who did not take Everton up on it.
Sean Longstaff has been with Newcastle United since joining the club as an academy prospect several years ago. After progressing through the ranks at the Tyneside club in addition to spending around 18 months away from St. James' Park on loan over two different spells, the English midfielder finally got his big break in the 2018/19 season.
To date, Longstaff has made 73 appearances for the Magpies while chipping in with four goals and as many assists along the way. However, heading into the summer transfer window, it started becoming clear that the 23-year-old was not a part of Steve Bruce's plans. This piqued the interest of Everton, who were keen on signing him.
The interest from Everton made sense as Andre Gomes was not fancied too much by Rafael Benitez in the pre-season. The Portuguese midfielder was subsequently linked with a potential summer exit from Goodison Park before he ended up staying put at the club, although a switch to Turkey or Russia could still materialise.
In addition, Tom Davies and Fabian Delph are peripheral figures for the Toffees, leaving Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan as the only regulars for them. As a result, Longstaff was a viable target for Everton, who failed to move around the pieces to make room for the English midfielder.
There were suggestions that Newcastle were demanding around £10 million for the youngster, although The Athletic suggest that Everton proposed a swap deal involving Davies. Such a transfer could have worked in favour of all the parties involved.
However, as fate would have it, a swap deal could not materialise, with Longstaff staying put at St. James' Park while Davies remains an Everton player. What now remains to be seen is if the two players can make an impact at their respective clubs in the 2021/22 season, thereby proving their respective managers wrong.

Winter Storm Jonas throws snowball into FGCU hoops schedule
Three FGCU basketball games were rescheduled due to the effects of Winter Storm Jonas, which has already begun burying cities in several feet of snow along the east coast.
The undefeated in conference FGCU men's basketball team was forced to reschedule its fifth conference game of the season due to weather. FGCU's game with Lipscomb, which was originally set for 4 p.m. on Saturday as part of a double-header with the women's teams, was rescheduled for Sunday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. The game will still be aired live on ESPN3.
The storm also rescheduled the FGCU women's game against Lipscomb, which was also originally set for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 23, to 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 24.
Officials deemed travel too dangerous following the eight inches of snow — the most downtown Nashville has seen in 13 years — from the Winter Storm Jonas.

— FGCU Women's Basketball (@FGCU_WBB) January 23, 2016
Winter Storm Jonas has already begun reaching snow totals that have topped 30 inches in at least four states with near-blizzard conditions, record coastal flooding, and winds over 70 mph in some coastal areas, according to The Weather Channel.
The national weather news organization stated that "the combination of strong winds and heavy snow will continue to create life-threatening whiteout conditions for anyone attempting to travel on Saturday."
Due to scheduling changes with Lipscomb, the FGCU women's team was also forced to push back its tilt with Kennesaw State, which was originally scheduled for Monday, to Tuesday at 2 p.m.
Despite changes, both the FGCU women's games will still be aired live on ESPN3.
Effects of Winter Storm Jonas could be felt throughout the rest of the Atlantic Sun. The FGCU women's basketball game between USC Upstate and North Florida will be rescheduled to tip at 7 p.m. on Tuesday after originally being planned to face off on Saturday in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The men's basketball game between North Florida, which along with FGCU remain undefeated in the A-Sun, and conference newcomer NJIT was forced to be rescheduled. Originally scheduled for Saturday in Newark, New Jersey, the game, which will still be aired live on ESPN3, was rescheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Ask a child to draw you a picture of a church and, inevitably, they will draw a building. But the origin of the word "church" in the Bible is the Greek word "Ekklesia", which referred to the citizens of ancient Athens, who gathered to work together for the well-being of their city.
Severn Vineyard is a bit like that. It is a gathering of people from all walks of life, who live and work in the Bristol area, who love and are inspired by Jesus Christ to live life to the full and bring life to their communities.
If that is something that intrigues or inspires you, you might like to get involved - and you would be so welcome!
"The first thing that struck us when we first visited (after the warm welcome and brilliant pastries!) was the sheer diversity of people and backgrounds that make up Severn. It shows that Christ really is for anyone no matter who they are or what they've done.
The second thing is that Severn has energy and a real desire for God, which is visible in all aspects of the church.

Things To Consider For Renting a Luxury Portable Toilet in Telluride, Colorado!
While hosting any big event you probably think that dining and entertainment are going to be your most important concern, but any good host should remember not to forget the very essential need of bathrooms. There's a good selection of porta potty options available for everyone and it's vitale to get a solid understanding of the factors that are involved in renting the best one. The following are just several of the most important considerations to be aware of when you're deciding on a porta potty choice for your event.
Your portable toilet decision could possibly be the most vitale part of your gathering, since the good times would be short lived if your guests can't relieve themselves rapidly enough. If you're hosting a big gathering, the selection of a portable toilet might be the furthest thing on your list to acquire, but the fact is it can have a huge impact on your event. There are many more varieties of porta potties than you may think and you'll need to ensure you choose the right options to avoid long lines or issues.
Foremost, consider the many portable toilet options that you'll be presented with when going with a vendor. The two broadest choices for toilet rentals is porta potty stalls and complete toilet trailers. Ask your rental business about cleaning stations and if the units will have separate hand washing basins or not as well as lighting options if your occasion will be during the night hours. Finally, don't forget to ask how the toilets are serviced during particularly long gatherings, events in warm weather, and events with a large amount of guests.
The best option for entry level porta potty rentals involving smaller events are usually going to be the single-stall variety that you often see on construction sites. Alternatively, there are other nicer bathroom trailers that provide a full room for people to use. The portable toilet services include toilet paper, and some of them also have antibacterial hand sanitizer. You can also decide on having a separate hand washing station if you are going with a basic porta potty. On the flip side, you could spring for an upscale portable toilet selection that comes with amenities such as air fresheners and an internal basin with running water.
Where you put your portable toilets is very important, whether you're hosting a wedding or a jobsite, if they are too far away it could really slow things down. You should make sure that your portable toilets are placed on dry, level ground and should be centrally located so that people have easy access to them, but not too close that they disrupt your event. Fortunately, you can customize your portable toilets to match your occasion and needs by adding more options. Even the nicest event can be spoiled by low quality bathroom facilities, which is why you need to consider the quality of your portable toilet rental.
There are a range of additional options to think about when considering which type of portable toilets to choose. The main aspects are the type of event, number of guests and length of time you'll need the rentals for. You will want to remember that your event is going to require some setup regardless of the type of occasion you're hosting, so it's important to ask your vendor how long they will need to set up the porta potties and that way you can make sure they'll be ready in time for your guests. Handicap access is also something you want to make sure not to overlook, and it's always a good idea to have an easily accessible stall at bigger events.
An additional point you'll want to think about is the variety of of cleaning services that are going to be available throughout your event. Refill materials will include essentials such as hand sanitizer, toilet paper and more paper products when people are washing their hands. You might need to make sure that there are toilet paper refills close at all times, since the last thing you want to happen at your gathering is for a person to come up and remind you they require more amenities in the portable toilets.
At a minimum you're probably going to be shelling out at least fifty dollars for renting a basic porta potty for a day, or as much as one hundred dollars depending on the area you're in. You certainly won't want to overestimate and end up paying for too many stalls, therefore it's important to get the exact amount you want in order to save on costs. In order to save as much money as you can its recommended you choose the portable toilet vendor that is closest to your event, that way you can save some money on transportation costs and the customer service team is close in case an issue arises. Costs of portable toilets tend to go up during wedding season, in the Spring or Summer months, so that's something to think about when deciding on a rental. It is suggested to rent the portable toilets ahead of time during the slower season to get better rates. As long as you have a basic understanding of portable toilet options and what goes into their offerings, you'll be able to make the best choice in order to host a smooth occasion no matter how many people you're anticipating.

High activity nuclear waste
The highly radioactive materials that require the most long-term radiation protection overtime come from nuclear reactors. They are highly radioactive. After a 3 to 4-years stay the reactor core, the uranium-based nuclear fuels are removed and transferred to an interim storage pool, for a first cooling and protection against their radiation.
Spent fuel released from reactors
One ton of spent fuel released from reactor contains, apart from uranium whose radioactivity is neglible in comparison, arond 34 kg of fission products, 10 kg of plutonium and 800g of actinides, uranium nuclei which have grown by capturing neutrons. France has decided to reprocess these highly radioactive materials in a large reprocessing facility, at La Hague near Cherbourg. After their first cooling, nuclear fuels are transferred to this plant, where they are stored for several years before being reprocessed. In other countries, like United states, spent fuels are up to now not reprocessed. In this case they will end as high activity waste.
Nuclear spent fuel at the reprocessing La Hague plant
The first phase of reprocessing consists in separating the uranium and plutonium which can be reused to manufacture new fuel, from the products of nuclear fission and minor actinides. Minor actinides are uranium nuclei that have captured neutrons without undergoing fission. Some residues are very radioactive. Fission products and actinides are the source of high-level waste. The next step is to condition these residues. To do this, they are mixed with molten borosilicate glass. This molten glass is poured into a cylindrical refractory steel container. Once cooled, these containers are stored in ventilated wells. A 175-liter container contains 400 kg of waste including 11 of fission products and radioactive actinides.
The long-term future of High Activity Waste
The virtue of borosilicate glass is to immobilize the atoms in the glassy material like an octopus for thousands of years, after which the most radioactive species will have lost their radioactivity. Waste vitrification therefore ensures that non-dispersion of radioactive materials for these thousands of years. After these millennia, waste radioactivity will have greatly diminished, but it is necessary to ensure the non-dispersion of the radioactive residue. To this end, the project in France is to store the containers at a depth of 500 m in a clayey geological layer, sheltered from water infiltrations. This is the CIGEO project. Pending the authorization and construction of such a center, vitrified waste is stored dry in La Hague.


The Tower of Toys is already growing in the Atrium of the Beacon Building with various donations from generous supporters. Donations can be dropped off at any of the above businesses located in Bedford, Concord, Epping, Londonderry, Manchester, Milford and Portsmouth. Many sponsors are also offering perks for your toy donations. For example, Red Arrow Diner is giving away a free order of their fried pickles when you bring in one new, unwrapped toy to any of their four locations in Concord, Londonderry, Manchester, and Milford.


Amanda Boxer (Mosquitoes, National Theatre; Blue Heart, Orange Tree/Tobacco Factory; The Arab Israeli Cookbook, Gate Theatre/Tricycle Theatre) and Tanya Loretta Dee (Eastenders debut; One Life Stand, Paines Plough; Offside, Futures Theatre) will star in Sacha Voit and Jessica Butcher's Boots. This dynamic female-led production is a funny, heart-breaking adventure through forests, friendship and FemFresh that reveals the loneliness of age and the power of Mother Nature.
Jessica Butcher comments, For me, Boots is a story of female friendship. Between two women. And also between all women. It is a story of self care and love for yourself and the world around us. The play holds many unspoken truths that have been silenced for thousands of years. It is a release, a celebration of the female voice. And that female voice is strong, sensitive, intelligent, chaotic, emotional and loud. This is a play about feelings, I believe the more we examine those feelings bravely and honestly, with an audience, the world becomes a kinder place.
Sacha Voit says, Boots is about the courage that kindness gives us to release ourselves from silence, because truthfully telling stories and being heard is the only thing that will heal and change the world. Kindness and friendship. Boots is about questioning and rebelling against our conditioning, our habits and repeated thoughts. And forging new connections. Only friendship, understanding and kindness can allow us true revolution within ourselves, and therefore, in wider society. Alone, we cannot change the world. Together, we can.
Boots will run at The Bunker, 53A Southwark Street London SE1 1RU from Tuesday 19th February – Saturday 16th March 2019.


With the extra powerful, patented FRITSCH Cutting Mill Combination of PULVERISETTE 25 and PULVERISETTE 19 as well as the associated FRITSCH high-performance Cyclone separator, it is possible, for example, to process 2 litres of sample material with a particle size of 30 mm in only one single step. It doesn't matter how heterogeneous the sample is – even household waste, construction waste, German recycling system bales or light shredder fractions from automobile recycling: Within five minutes, our extra-powerful double mill will reduce any of these materials into a representatively divided analysis sample with a final fineness of < 500 μm! This is the ideal solution for inexpensive preparation of heterogeneous materials for analysis according to the Technical Instructions on Municipal Waste (TOC) or for determination of the calorific value and chlorine content.
The extra powerful FRITSCH Cutting Mill Combination consists of the Power Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 25 and the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19. The entire sample is pre-crushed by the PULVERISETTE 25 then falls automatically through a funnel into a sample divider which divides the sample according to a 1:13 ratio by default. The division ratio is variable.
This smaller sample is then automatically comminuted in the PULVERISETTE 19 down to a final fineness of 0.2 mm and drawn into the glass sample bottle by the connected FRITSCH high-performance Cyclone separator.
Through selection of the cutting tool sets and sieve cassettes, the FRITSCH Cutting Mill Combination can be individually adapted to any specific application. All accessories of the PULVERISETTE 25 and PULVERISETTE 19 are available for this.
The FRITSCH high-performance Cyclone separator completely made of stainless steel 304 is particularly indispensable in the analytical sector and in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and for the processing of heterogeneous mixtures of material, e.g. in the cement industry.
Due to its high surface quality, it offers enhanced resistance to corrosive media such as alkalis and acids and is especially easy to clean with a wide range of possible cleaning agents, without leaving any residues. In addition, it can be completely dismantled, fully emptied, flooded and sterilised, and thus offers reliable protection against cross-contamination.
The FRITSCH Cutting Mill Combination consisting of the Power Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 25, the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19, interposed sample divider, protected funnel with sample pusher, underframe, sample exhaustion with high-performance Cyclone separator and collecting vessel 60 litres, exhaust system; inclusive hardmetal tungsten carbide cutting tool sets and sieve cassettes made of stainless steel. For an individual adaptation to your specific application can the Cutting Mill Combination PULVERISETTE 25/19 be fitted with any type of cutting tool sets and sieve cassettes that are offered for the PULVERISETTE 25 and PULVERISETTE 19.


This half-day workshop at IEEE Visualization 2006 will explore the impact on visualization systems of two emerging developments in computing: Grids and Web Services.
How should visualization web services be developed?
How can visualization systems adapt dynamically to available resources?
Is interactivity well supported in the Grid model of computing?
How should simulation and visualization be linked in Grid environments to support computational steering?
How should provenance of visualizations be maintained?
What can visualization learn from workflow?
Is there a need for national or international visualization services?
These questions are typically concerned with how Grid-based visualization can leverage existing work in a variety of areas; another important question is how can visualization impact on these other areas?
The format will be a mix of talks and discussion sessions. We aim to publish the state-of-the-art report widely after the workshop.
Ian Foster will deliver the keynote talk for the workshop. Dr. Foster is Director of the Computation Institute, the Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, and Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. The co-editor with Carl Kesselman of "The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure", he is an internationally recognized researcher and leader in the area of Grid computing.
In order to give as many people a chance to contribute as possible, we aim to have a 'gong' session in which participants can speak for five minutes - either on their current work in the area, or on some issue in Grid-based visualization that they would like to raise for discussion. In order to book your slot, please mail Ken Brodlie as soon as possible.
New information architectures enable new approaches to publishing and accessing valuable data and programs. So-called service-oriented architectures define standard interfaces and protocols that allow developers to encapsulate information tools as services that clients can access without knowledge of, or control over, their internal workings. Thus, tools formerly accessible only to the specialist can be made available to all; previously manual data-processing and analysis tasks can be automated by having services access services. Somewhat lightheartedly, I name the new approaches to science enabled by such technologies "Science 2.0," by analogy with "Web 2.0", a term commonly applied to Web-based platforms such as those being deployed by Google and Amazon. The impact of Science 2.0 on the practice of science is going to be significant, but getting it right will require innovations in our thinking, methods, tools, reward structures, and infrastructure, among other things.
If you would like to attend the workshop, please contact one of the workshop organizers. Please include a brief note describing your interest in the area, and any further questions you feel the workshop should address.

Vianden (en ) est une ville luxembourgeoise située dans le canton de Vianden.

Géographie

Vianden est situé à l'est du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, en bordure ouest de la frontière allemande.

La cité est traversée par la rivière Our, un affluent de la Sûre. En amont de Vianden, une retenue (bassin inférieur) alimente un lac artificiel situé sur le mont Saint-Nicolas (bassin supérieur), destinée à la production d'hydroélectricité par l'intermédiaire d'une « centrale de pompage ». En période creuse, les turbines-pompes alimentent en eau le bassin supérieur. En période pleine, les turbines-pompes produisent de l'électricité.

Toponymie
Le nom de Vianden dériverait du mot gaulois vien qui signifie rocheux.

Vienna (1096), Vianne (1136), Vianna (1138), Vienne (1193), Vianden (1220).

Histoire

Déjà en l'an 1256, Vianden est citée comme ville, mais c'est seulement depuis la lettre de franchise de 1308 que Vianden porte légalement le titre de ville par lettre de franchise.

Au XVe siècle, la ville devait sa prospérité aux activités artisanales tenues par sept corporations : tanneurs, drapiers, tonneliers, maçons, tailleurs, serruriers et orfèvres.

La ville était ceinturée de rempart et de 24 tours semi-circulaires et percée de cinq portes. Les tours furent partiellement démolies par le maréchal de Boufflers sous Louis XIV.

Après son expulsion de Belgique, Victor Hugo a vécu plus de deux mois à Vianden durant l'été de 1871.

Les deux dernières portes encore debout furent détruites au milieu du .

Au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le , les armées allemandes envahissent simultanément les Pays-Bas, la Belgique et le Luxembourg pour affronter la France et la Grande-Bretagne. C'est ainsi qu'à Vianden, une partie de la  Panzerdivision, qui a pour objectif de traverser la Meuse à Sedan, franchit la frontière. Des troupes spéciales s'étaient préalablement introduites en civil dans la ville, pour tenter le matin du  d'empêcher, sans succès, le verrouillage irréversible des barrières qui étaient disposées sur les axes routiers ouvrant sur le Luxembourg neutre et susceptibles d'être empruntés par les Allemands, ceci pour les dissuader de le traverser. Les obstacles placés sur le pont de l'Our, interdisant le passage aux véhicules lourds, sont rapidement rendus franchissables par le génie allemand.

Le château de Vianden

Les premières traces de construction du château de Vianden remontent vers le milieu du  de notre ère. Sa construction a donc démarré à l'époque romaine et s'est poursuivie à l'époque carolingienne. La majorité des bâtiments fut érigée entre les .

Le château a connu de nombreuses modifications. On compte neuf époques architecturales différentes, du  à nos jours. Depuis 1977, le château est propriété de l'État luxembourgeois qui l'a restauré dans le respect des règles (charte de Venise). Les fouilles ont permis de découvrir la présence d'un fortin construit sous le Bas-Empire romain et une première enceinte médiévale carolingienne élevée au . L'apogée des comtes de Vianden se situe du , et c'est de cette période, qui connaît la transition entre le style roman et le gothique, que datent la plupart des éléments du château.

Alleged Burger Burglar Thwarted by Cops After 12-Hour Standoff
People enter an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Alhambra, California, on August 30, 2018.
FREDERIC J. BROWN—AFP/Getty Images
By Raisa Bruner
For one attempted hamburglar at an In-N-Out in Temple City, California, the tables were turned — somewhat — after his extended stakeout of the fast food joint ended on a low note on Monday, with an arrest following the twelve hour detente.
But the funniest part of the crime? The cops camping out outside the popular burger franchise turned the joke on him, as they ended up ordering In-N-Out burgers themselves — from a different location, of course — to ease their hunger pains while they waited out their criminal.
According to local news, police responded to an alarm call in the early hours of Monday morning, arriving at the local In-N-Out to find an unauthorized suspect on the scene. With the help of a law enforcement canine named Deek, they located the man barricaded in the "roof structure" of the restaurant and attempted to make contact, although ultimately were forced to evacuate the area of bystanders and wait him out — for roughly a dozen hours. He ultimately came away peacefully and is in custody, according to the L.A. Sheriff's Department.
Ironically, it seems the cops may have gotten more burgers out of this deal than the man inside the restaurant itself. As for Deek? Let's hope he gets a lifetime supply of burger meat, ideally served in In-N-Out's famous "animal style."

The best part of aging is retirement, says Jodi Gohmann. Jodi lives in the 1,700-person community of Clearwater.
Jodi says she wishes people knew that it's difficult to give up things like independence with age. Another challenging aspect of getting older for Jodi is sometimes feeling patronized, particularly in the way younger people regard her.
As the baby boomers age, Jodi points out that there will be many more elders in Minnesota and it's important to understand and care about what they are facing.
