Q: x independent of y, y independent of z, then is x independent of z? using $\perp $ to indicate independence:
If $x \perp y$ and $y \perp z$ then is $x \perp z$?
I started with: $$p(x,z)=p(x,y,z)+p(x,\neg y,z)$$
$$=p(x)p(y|x)p(z|x,y)+p(x)p(\neg y|x)p(z|x,\neg y)$$
$$=p(x)p(y)\frac{p(x,z|y)}{p(x|y)}+p(x)p(\neg y)\frac{p(x,z|\neg y)}{p(x|\neg y)}$$
$$=p(x)p(y)\frac{p(x,z|y)}{p(x)}+p(x)p(\neg y)\frac{p(x,z|\neg y)}{p(x)}$$
$$=p(y)p(x,z|y)+p(\neg y)p(x,z|\neg y)$$
but now i am unsure of how to work with $p(x,z|y)$.. if $x\perp y$ & $y \perp z$ then can you say $p(x,z|y)=p(x|y)p(z|y)=p(x)p(z)$?
thank you

A: Take $z=x$ to get a  counterexample. $x$ cannot be independent of itself unless it is a constant.

A: It's helpful about the meaning of independence, not just the formula. Events $A$ and $B$ are independent if information about one of them does not affect the probability of the other.
The probability of rain here (in Boston) is pretty close to independent of the probability of rain in north London and the rain in south London. But those two events are surely correlated.
Put rain in Boston between rain in those two parts of London and you have a counterexample to transitivity.

A: Think about the context of the problem, there's nothing to say A and C can't be the same thing, Then they're completely dependent on one another, and if one is the independent of b then so is the other. So quite clearly, independence is not transitive


The design brief of this project clearly identifies the development goal of Taichung City: "build a Cosmopolitan Taichung", build a city with strong cultural economic and international characteristics, to distinguish herself from Taipei and Kaohsiung and become the third biggest city in Taiwan, place arts and culture as the core of her urban identity.
In the overall urban planning of Taichung city, the two core architectural elements: Taiwan public library and Taiwan Public Library will play an essential role in order to promote the cultural and art development of the city and reinforce her urban image. We believe an architectural design with innovation, diversity, flexibility and sustainability is essential.
This project intends to place the art museum and library on the same site. Besides the fundamental function of reading, exhibiting, guide touring, and the promotion of reading, development of art, and cultural research, we believe these two types of cultural architecture should nurture a closer integration under our contemporary culture. We plan to develop a totally new cultural architectural model, amalgamating the two cultural architectures into one complex - This is not a project about "Museum + Library", but "Museum - Library".
There are many precedence of placing various cultural buildings on the same sites, but in most cases each of these buildings is considered as an independent building. We believe the biggest potential of this project is to amalgamate the two buildings. In fact besides the function of exhibition, contemporary museums focus on the education and promotion of cultural and art and emphasize the gaining of knowledge in an participative and interactive way. In other words, like library, a museum is a the incubating and storage place of knowledge. On the other hand, with the rapid development of the digital technology and virtual domain, the role of contemporary library is quickly changing: the numbers of physical books are reducing drastically with the wider use of digital media. However, We believe physical books would not fade out. We can imagine they become the collective and exhibition items. In other words, library is a museum of books.
The abstract model of this design is an interlocking "Museum - Library" loop. This forms a fluid looping system encouraging not only the circulation within individual building but also the neighbor building. The "Museum - Library" loop does not only interlock in two dimensions, but also fold and superimpose in three dimensions. This folding "Museum - Library" loop intends to break the tradition concept of multi-floor building and forms a fluid looping system which connect each building program. The idea of "floor" is blurred when one travels through different spaces. Every time when he/she turns to different directions, he/she has the options to choose go either upward or downwards.
The "Museum - Library" loop does not only fold and interlock within its own intertwining form, but also extends to the greenery of the surrounding park. The folded ground floor plate forms various lifted-up public spaces for the gathering of the visitors, and encourage the pedestrian accessibility from multiple directions. Moreover the folded plate creates the visual corridor which is required by the design brief. The folded floor plates also lead the visitors to the roof garden directly - this loop system is closely integrating with the surrounding landscape.
The "Museum - Library" loop is intertwining yet clearly defined. A void is formed at the intertwining point of the two loops which encourage sufficient daylight to enter the shared entrance point of the museum and the library and also reinforce the presence of the visual corridor. The museum and the library are the coexisting "partners" and the self-defined individual at the same time.

Cambridge, MD (January 11, 2022). A 22-year-veteran of the Cambridge Police Department will now be able to print business cards removing the word "interim" from his title.
Justin Todd has been named to serve as the next police chief for the City of Cambridge and was sworn into this office on Monday, January 9th at a City Council meeting.
Todd has served as interim police chief since August of 2022 after the retirement of long-serving veteran, Mark Lewis. Before stepping up as chief, he was captain of operations where he was also public information officer and was in charge of Internal Affairs. Chief Todd has been part of the administration at the Cambridge Police Department since being promoted to lieutenant overseeing the Criminal Investigations Division in 2015. Todd was born and raised in Dorchester County.
Since joining the Cambridge Police Department Chief Todd has received over thirty-five distinguished awards throughout his years in the Patrol and Criminal Investigation Division. These include being named Officer of the Year in 2006 and in 2012. Chief Todd was also awarded the Exceptional Heroism award in October of 2013 from the United States Marshall Service. At that time, that honor had only been awarded 13 other times throughout the United States since the existence of the Marshall service.
In October of 2014 Chief Todd was accepted into the FBI National Academy where he spent 11 weeks in Quantico, Virginia and graduated in December of that year. Chief Todd sits on the Criminal Justice Advisory Boards for Chesapeake College and Wor-Wic Community College. He is also a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
Chief Todd said regarding his promotion, "I feel honored and privileged to be the next Chief of Police for our great city. Since becoming an officer here twenty-two years ago I have developed a great passion for the City of Cambridge and the citizens. As we move forward, my goal is to continue focusing on community-oriented policing and building strong relationships between our Police Department and the citizens we serve." Chief Todd noted, "Every officer is a part of the community they are policing, getting to know the residents and developing positive relationships to help problem-solve. By working in partnership with our community, we can lower crime and all of Cambridge a safer community."
City Manager Tom Carroll appointed Chief Todd to the position, and the Commissioners of Cambridge endorsed it as well. Carroll said, "Chief Todd has my full confidence, and the Cambridge Police department is so fortunate to have him leading our finest women and men in blue."

It tells us also that the bases do actually make these areas targets for an attack – something that was frequently denied – tacitly admits deterrence might fail and that the stay-put policy was condemning millions to death if a nuclear war ever broke out.
Evacuations Incompatible with Deterrance
If there was still any truth to the theory of deterrance in 1983 anything that encompasses large scale evacuations is an anathema to it. As Gwynne Dyer puts it in Notes on Nuclear War this only works if each side is kept as helpless hostages to the other's weapons. Any sign of civil defence in the form of evacuations could cause either be highly destalising or even cause on side to escalate.

The Times Jan 16 1980: "Government to give greater priority to protect millions of people"
On January 16th 1980 The Times ran a feature* "Government to give greater priority to protect millions of people" and printed some details of the 1976 leaflet "Protect and Survive.
Civil Defence has come back on the agenda particularly after it was decided that United States Cruise Missiles were to be stationed in the UK and how these missiles may or may not have made Britain more of a target for Soviet missiles – John Pilger's The Truth Game does go on to note that in the 1980 civil defence exercise, Square Leg, Greenham Common and Newbury were among the first places wiped out in their theoretical attack. Even if the USSR hadn't targeted Greenham Common it seems that our own planners thought it highly likely.
In the article written by Peter Evans he goes on to note that civil defence was in for a considerable revival by the new Tory government having been left to largely languish after Labour effectively abolished civil defence with the standing down of the Civil Defence corps in 1968.
However the article weaves quite a contradictory story about civil defence and the effectiveness thereof. The UK's defence planners are quoted as reckoning on a Soviet attack of between 180-200 megatons which in itself is probably a reliable figure, Operation Square Leg used 200MT as the scale of the attack and the same figure has appeared in Openshaw's Doomsday from 1983. The article does highlight the government's proposals to give higher priority to protect people from attack. The problem is that, as Openshaw and Campbell (among many others) have more or less said this scale of attack is literally indefensible.
In the 1982 QED documentary "A Guide To Armageddon" noted more than 77% of the UKs entire population live in cities. In the UK, combining all of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland there are only 69 cities. The article reckons the USSR would attack with up to 200 one megaton weapons and targeting every city which would only use about 34.5% of the available force. There would be no serious way to protect even a fraction of the population from such an awesome attack. A further 28 large towns and metropolitan areas would take use up a further 28 weapons consuming about half of a possible attack leaving a huge destructive force for launching multiple weapons at cities as well as military and industrial areas outside cites.
The article looks at one of the silliest perspectives that could be found in Protect and Survive, that large areas would be completely spared blast and fire. I don't think anyone has seriously disputed this: the problem is that almost no one lives there. The Soviet Union was pretty unlikely to target empty wilderness. As one of the characters in Threads said;
"where our Jack lives there's only a row of houses and a pub, they're not going to bomb that, are they?"

In Time of Emergency – US Cvil Defence Film 1969
This interesting US film, produced by the Office of Civil Defence and Department of Defence, is analogous to Britain's Protect and Survive. Like Protect and Survive this film is basic advice to the population on what to do under conditions of nuclear attack. It follows largely the same pattern; what immediate action to take should a nuclear explosion happen whilst you are out in the open and the second part of how to prepare your home should international tensions rise and attack may seem possible.
There are some obvious differences beyond presentational style – Protect and and Survive is stark and impersonal ("chilling" might be a more fitting description) and this is a much more paternalistic approach. One obvious difference is that Protect and Survive doesn't shy away as much from the less pleasant aspects of its subject – for all both films are about nuclear attack, "In Time of Emergency" avoids too much discussion of blast effects, the extent of radiation and fall-out and ultimately any discussion of casualties. For all the many shortcomings of Protect and Survive it was reasonably unblinking about the effects of nuclear attack; it admitted that if you were within 5 miles of the explosion you stood almost no chance, that the minimum shelter time was probably 14 days, that medical, rescue and fire-fighting attempts were pretty unlikely and that ultimately you may have to bury your own dead. Chilling stuff.
I couldn't help but feel "In Time of Emergency" avoided much in-depth discussion of this. It even avoided much discussion on your sanitary requirements – even Protect and Survive had to admit you were going to have to pee and poo in your own shelter space. Perhaps the originators of "In Time of Emergency" realised how absurd many of the more realistic preparations were and were thus better left unsaid.
One very notable difference were the elaborateness of some of the preparations and the huge gulf between the wealth of the United States and Britain. The US had a system of public shelters and whilst not absolutely comprehensive, the UK had whatsoever. In Britain there had been no public shelter space provided since World War II and successive governments had rejected calls for any public shelter programme, generally on the basis of cost.
The difference in wealth is even more striking at the individual level; the American film shows large detached homes with extensive basements, and whilst it can be said was the case for every American family, it was another world from the homes of Britain. Another key difference were the level of supplies families had, both the 1963 British Civil Defence film "Civil Defence Bulletin no. 3" and Protect and Survive's "Food Consumption" (1976) show very modest amounts of food and water being taken to the shelter. Contrast this to "In Time of Emergency's" vast supplies of water in large plastic and glass containers, the huge tins of food and other storage items. In fairness "In Time Of Emergency's" supplies were far more realistic for any kind of long stay in the shelter, the British versions had supplies that looked like what you might have if you were snowed in for a few days. They certainly didn't look like they'd sustain a family for a week.

Cabinet Minutes on Civil Defence, 1951
There is a very interesting document on Civil Defence from 1951 as part of Cabinet Minutes from the 27th of January that year.
Despite crippling post-war austerity, the government had decided to increase spending on Civil Defence from £137 million to £180 million over four years which is more than £5 billion in today's money. Even in 1987, the UK was spending only £69 million (£170 million today) despite facing a far greater threat.
The most profound comment in the document however is that it admits to the basic contradiction in both Civil Defence, deterrence and in that they are part of the same:
the Defence Committee considered that, quite apart from the enormous cost that would be involved [of a large stockpile of blackout material] , any general acceleration of civil defence preparations would give the impression that the the Government regarded war as inevitable.

Cabinet Secretaries' notebooks – plain speaking on Civil Defence
In the Cabinet Secretaries' notebook series released in 2010 by the National Archives, there are some interesting and cryptic comments about Civil Defence, made on 21st December 1960.
In CAB 195/19 there are some very revealing comments about official thoughts regarding Civil Defence and its effectiveness:
"S.LI" (John Selwyn-Lloyd) Says:
If we were strictly logical, we shd. conclude that none of this is worth while. But believe it is politically impossible to scrap C.D.
This is a very interesting comment as it seems to admit at least some in government already believed there was little point in Civil Defence and this was also long before the disbandment of the CD Corps in 1968. This admission is completely at odds with the fact that the CD Corps was also just about at its highest headcount as an organisation.
An additional comment reveals that mass evacuation may never been a realistic policy:
"H.B." (Henry Brooke):
Evacuation. No Govt. wd. ever order planned evacuation – for it wd. start 100% rush from big cities. On that basis, our problem is one of presentn. The 12 m. plan is un-workable. At 6 m. plan is possible (tho' I believe nonsensical : because vulnerable cities wd. be proclaimed non evacuable and because area of devastn. wd. be larger than evacuation area). On balance recommend opening discn. with l.a.'s on basis of 6 m. – w'out commitment to the plan.
Even long before Peter Watkins suggested in The War Game that evacuation might fail, many years before this government officials in this document already seemed to have no illusions about the limits of an evacuation policy. As early as 1964 in official government films the general "stay put" policy had already been made explicit.

An unmarried couple who own property as tenants in common, separate, and cannot agree on how to divide the property.
In such a situation, one party may petition the Land Court or Probate Court in Massachusetts for a Petition to Partition. This allows a court to step in and determine how to divide the property between the co-tenants. The court might physically divide the property into separate parcels (though this is usually not applicable). More commonly, the court will force a sale by placing the property on the open market and locating a new buyer. Then the court will determine how the proceeds are divided among the former co-tenants, taking into account upkeep, maintenance, and contribution to the initial acquisition of the property. The court may appoint a Special Master to oversee the transfer of the property. As a third option the court may allow one co-tenant to buy out the others.
A petition to partition property can result in a lengthy proceeding and involve complicated litigation. Sometimes disputes arise over the value of the property, the actual ownership interest of each party, and tax liabilities.
It is important to seek the help of an experienced real estate attorney to guide you through the process and protect your interests. Contact our Boston, Cambridge, or Quincy office today at 617-225-2100 for a FREE consultation.
The petition to partition proceeding is often viewed as a last resort where there is a complete communication breakdown and a lack of cooperation between family members. Such actions sometimes lead to increased administrative costs due to the involvement of a realtor and Special Master.
Our attorneys will strive to help you resolve your real estate dispute through negotiation and mediation while keeping your best interests in mind. With our experience, we can ensure that the maximum amount of money is divided among the co-tenants, rather than going towards court costs and third parties. Where negotiation is not possible, we can commence litigation with the goal of achieving a fair resolution as swiftly and cost-effectively as possible.
If you find yourself in the middle of a messy property division, contact one of our experienced real estate attorneys today at Bellotti Law Group, P.C. to learn about your options.


Corezon had its first steps in HB Studio, New York City. In 2013, students Pablo Andrade (Venezuela), Ingrid Wheatley (México), Daniela Wong (México), Reza Salazar (Argentina/Peru), Ibeth Massari (Puerto Rico), Maria Fontanals (Spain) and Maria Machado (Venezuela) worked with American professors Jim Boerlin, Ilse Pfeifer, Mark Blum and Carol Rosenfeld to develop work in Spanish. The purpose of this collaboration was to bring more diversity to the tremendous art already emerging within the institution. Soon after its first production, Corezon attracted the attention of the Hispanic theatrical community of NYC. Thus, in 2015, after graduating from the HB Studio, original member Pablo Andrade decided to continue the legacy of the group and officially founded Corezon as an artistic organization. Venezuelan artist Yessi Hernández joined Corezon as Executive Producer. In 2016, Peruvian artist Diego Chiri joined the Corezon family as Associated Director. Many more established artists in the Latino artistic community have worked with the company while it continues to grow towards its goal of telling stories of social justice through the Hispanic perspective.

Although Häagen-Daz at first sight appeared to be a Danish brand, this ice cream product is actually American. The name has been completely invented and it is marketed to Americans as an European premium ice cream.
The Häagen-Diaz company was founded in 1961, in the Bronx, New York, by Reuben and Rose Mattus, a Jewish couple who emigrated from Poland to the United States.
Häagen-Diaz is very good ice cream and its secret appears to be the very little air mixed to the product during the manufacturing process, the good quantity of egg yolks and the big amount of butterfat used.
At first Häagen-Diaz was sold only in grocery stores, now it can be found in the several monobrand stores throughout the world.

With more than 50 years in the business, we've developed some innovative tools for the embroidery industry. These specialty items are available right here, and are being used in embroidery shops all across the country.
These hooping aids allow the operator to quickly load an item and attach the hoop for embroidery. By removing the tiresome operation of hand-hooping, the user can prep significantly more items in less time.
The repetitive motion of hand-hooping, along with the strength and pressure required to attach the hoops, will quickly lead to stress and strain of the hands, carpal-tunnel syndrome, and more. These hooping devices automate that portion of the process, drastically reducing stress and injury!
Empty machines cost time and money! With these powered hooping devices, your staff will prep items for embroidery much faster than when hooping by hand, which means projects move through your shop faster!
These machines make efficient work of the hooping process for garments and caps for your embroidery operation. Powered by air, these machines eliminate the common problems of repetitive stress and strain when hand-hooping items in your shop. Increase productivity and reduce injury with these machines today!
With 50+ years in the embroidery business, we have endured our fair share of repetitive stress injuries, carpal-tunnel syndrome, and other ailments that used to be an unfortunate part of the embroidery business. We weren't satisfied with this, however, and we set out to solve the problem. As a result, we have developed the "Third Hand" hooping machines. These machines make quick work of the hooping process by utilizing an air-powered placement system. The operator simply positions the garment, or cap in the machine, loads the hoop, and activates the mechanism to press the hoop.
Join the numerous embroidery shops who have added these devices to their production process, enjoying increased productivity and reduced injuries.


Although we often think of community in terms of village, town and geographic community, most organisations are also part of one or more sport-specific communities. It can be fruitful to partner with other sport organisations, including federations, ministries of sport, regional and national governing bodies to build their capacity to address gender-based violence. Perhaps your alliance can run a workshop for other member organisations about writing a Code of Conduct, creating safe spaces for girls or engaging boys in addressing GBV?
Including girls in the leadership of organising and executing a community strategy can have a profound impact on perceptions of girls' abilities and strength – both their own perceptions and those of others. Whenever possible, give girls the opportunity to participate.
1. Form an Alliance: Partnership and collaboration is everything. It expands your audience, knowledge base, possibility and capacity. Effective collaboration does not happen by accident, it requires commitment and intention. Consider all the angles of partnership when building your alliance. Include other stakeholders in the community (women's rights groups, police departments, schools, religious institutions, media outlets, other sport programmes). Think about who the connectors and thought leaders are in a given community and strategise about how to engage these people in your work.
2. Identify the community: Be specific about who you are trying to engage. Discuss demographics such as age, gender, and socioeconomic groups. What are the geographic areas of focus? What relationship does this community have to your programme participants? What is their level of knowledge and comfort in addressing girls' rights and gender-based violence?
3. Collectively Identify Past Successes and/or Barriers: It is possible that work has already been done on addressing GBV in your target community. If so, learn from history. What worked and what failed? Why? Engage the leadership of past efforts to understand, capitalize on work already done and avoid making the same mistakes.
4. Create A Strategic Plan: Identify your objectives and create a collective vision. Are you trying to change attitudes about GBV? Generate more support for your programme? Be organised and intentional about your work. What campaigns, events or projects will you execute? How often will you be engaging your target community? Identify a timeline. How will you measure the impact of your work? Don't forget to include a budget and assign roles and responsibilities.
Note: Effective social change organisations understand the dynamics of their communities and seek to meet the community where they are. In other words, they pose challenges, provoke thought and craft calls to action based on the level of knowledge, interest and commitment of their audience. Never compromise your ethics, but consider how you can bridge gaps between community understanding and your alliance's ultimate vision.
5. Start Popular Projects: Go out into the community and test your ideas! Execute an awareness raising campaign. Hold a sport tournament that includes GBV information. Organize a march, workshop or parade. Have girls do a community art project. Offer educational services or free HIV testing at your headquarters. Engage traditional media and social media outlets to spread the word. The bounds of your creativity are the limit. (See specific ideas below).
Note: Be aware that community activism and presence can provide survivors not associated with your programme an outlet to discuss their GBV stories. Be prepared to refer other women and girls to support services.
6. Evaluate: It helps to establish a method of measuring progress prior to starting any campaign or project, so you know if you have succeeded or not. Evaluation methods can range from sophisticated tools to informal indicators and be qualitative, quantitative or a mix. If you have the resources and alliance commitment, enlist the help of a third party for helping you devise and execute an impact plan. Most sport programmes use more informal methods, such as counting tickets sold at an event or visits to a web site. Ask the girls to participate during formal evaluations. The organisation needs to give them a platform to evaluate their programme and give feedback.
7. Maintain Momentum: If something works, keep the energy alive! For example, if you hold a girls' cricket tournament to raise awareness in your community and there was a great turn out, work to keep the conversation afloat. Send the results and key findings to the media. Ask girls to thank sponsors and participants publicly. Schedule another tournament or a follow up event.

VA: Cloverleaf Cold Storage investing $21 million to expand refrigerated warehouse facility, add 33 new Jobs
Governor Ralph Northam announced that Cloverleaf Cold Storage, a leading cold storage warehousing and food logistics company, will invest $21 million to add over 100,000 square feet to its facility in the City of Chesapeake. The expansion will allow Cloverleaf Cold Storage to increase its current service volume of blast freezing, exporting, and importing, as well as accommodate additional refrigerated products for its current and new customers in the mid-Atlantic region. Virginia successfully competed with Maryland and North Carolina for the project, which will create 33 new jobs.
"Cloverleaf Cold Storage's major investment in the City of Chesapeake will enable the company to increase its service volume to meet growing demand in the mid-Atlantic market as well as broaden its global logistics network through the Port of Virginia," said Governor Northam. "We thank Cloverleaf Cold Storage for choosing to reinvest in the Commonwealth, contributing vital infrastructure for our thriving food and beverage processing industry and nearly doubling its workforce in Hampton Roads."
Cloverleaf Cold Storage is a trusted partner to many of the largest food producers in the world. It operates a network of 19 warehouses across the United States, providing a variety of food grade storage, handling, and freezing services. Its Farmers Produce division offers value-added processing and logistics services to the protein industry. Cloverleaf serves over 800 customers, many with whom the company holds over 30-year relationships. The company's facility in the City of Chesapeake is located on a 10-acre site in the Cavalier Industrial Park with nearly 40 employees.
"Cloverleaf Cold Storage is one of the largest cold storage warehousing and processing companies in North America and a valuable corporate partner for the City of Chesapeake and the Commonwealth," said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. "With locations in eight states across the U.S., Cloverleaf's decision to expand in the City of Chesapeake is a strong testament to the region's motivated workforce and strategic location. We are confident that Cloverleaf will continue to thrive and contribute to Virginia's booming food and beverage sector."
"We choose to invest capital in our Chesapeake facility both in recognition of the growing food products industry regionally as well as the excellent business climate in the Commonwealth of Virginia," said Adam Feiges, a principal at Cloverleaf. "With access to the deep-water Port of Norfolk, this area is the optimal location for additional investment in international logistics facilities."
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the City of Chesapeake to secure the project for Virginia and will support Cloverleaf's job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP). VJIP provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs or experiencing technological change in order to support employee training activities. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state-funded, demonstrating Virginia's commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.
"We are very excited about Cloverleaf Cold Storage's decision to expand its business in Chesapeake, and we welcome the $21 million investment and 33 new jobs that will be created," said City of Chesapeake Mayor Rick West. "We pride ourselves on being a business-friendly city that works to support existing companies as well as attract new ones. This is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when we all work together. On behalf of the entire City of Chesapeake, we welcome Cloverleaf Cold Storage and thank Governor Northam for working with us to grow our economy."
"I am pleased to see that Cloverleaf Cold Storage will make such a substantial investment in the City of Chesapeake by expanding its existing facility," said Senator Lionell Spruill. "Cloverleaf Cold Storage is a reliable partner, and we thank the company for creating 33 new jobs in the 5th District."
"Cloverleaf Cold Storage is a valuable contributor to the regional economy of Hampton Roads, and I am thrilled to see the company grow in the City of Chesapeake," said Delegate C.E. Cliff Hayes. "I am proud for this company to call my district home and congratulate Cloverleaf Cold Storage on its continued success."

History of Lotto
Posted byadmin1989 30/11/2022
Throughout history, lotteries have been used to raise money for a variety of public purposes. These include financing bridges, roads, libraries, colleges, and public projects. In some countries, lotteries are regulated by the government. The majority of lotteries in Spain are run by the Loterias y Apuestas del Estado, while in France, the Loteries Nationales (National Lotteries) are organized by the Agence Lotteries Françaises (ALF) and the Loteries Régionales (LR). The earliest known European lottery was held during the Roman Empire.
The Roman Emperor Augustus organized a lottery for citizens of Rome. In the 17th century, the Roman Empire was mainly aristocratic and lotteries were primarily used for amusement. In the Netherlands, lotteries were used to raise funds for various town projects, such as roads, canals, and fortifications. In Germany, a lottery was held in Hamburg in 1614.
Lotteries were also used in the United States, Canada, and Ireland. In the United States, the first government-run lottery was created in New Hampshire in 1964. In Canada, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation oversees the Ontario Lotto and online gaming. Players must be at least 19 years of age to use the website and slot facilities. Several government agencies regulate lotteries in Canada. The Canadian lottery system is made up of five regional organizations: Western Canada Lottery Corporation, Atlantic Lottery Corporation, British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, and Loto-Quebec.
The Chinese Book of Songs describes a game of chance as "drawing of wood". A similar game was also played by the Chinese Han Dynasty. Some historians believe that lotteries may have been used to finance major government projects. However, most forms of gambling were illegal in most of Europe by 1900. In France, lotteries were banned for two centuries.
In the United States, lotteries have been banned for the most part, but some states, including New Jersey, still permit them. Most lottery tickets are not subject to personal income tax. A rare lottery ticket bearing the signature of George Washington sold for $15,000.
There are many different forms of lotteries, and the rules for each vary from state to state. In the United States, lottery winners can choose between annuity payments and one-time payments. Using an annuity, lottery winners can expect to receive approximately three-quarters of the advertised jackpot. On the other hand, the one-time payment is less than the advertised jackpot when considering the time value of money.
The first big lottery on German soil was held in Hamburg in 1614. In France, lotteries were used to raise funds to help the poor. Several colonial governments also used lotteries during the French and Indian Wars. In the United States, colonial America had at least 200 lotteries between 1744 and 1776. Some were successful, such as the "Expedition against Canada" lottery in 1758, while others were unsuccessful. Lotteries were also used to raise funds for colleges, libraries, and town fortifications.
Lotteries are popular because they offer the opportunity to win money, but they are also susceptible to fraud. Scammers pretended to be winners, and people would put up their money as collateral for a ticket. A BBC TV show, The Real Hustle, featured a lottery scam in which a group of scammers persuaded a stranger to put up their money as collateral for a lottery ticket.

Minimalist on Purpose: Are You Keeping Your Emotional Tank Full?
Are You Keeping Your Emotional Tank Full?
I'd like to share this talk by Dr. Wayne Cordeiro, founder and senior pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii. In the video, he talked about the concept of keeping our emotional tanks full, and I've found it to be helpful for my wife and I.
He was saying that each person has a personal "emotional tank" that needs to be kept full to minimize stress and to be effective in our responsibilities.
I highly recommend this video. I pray that it touches your life as it did mine.

Boeing 777 8 and Boeing 777 9
Building on the outstanding success of the Boeing 777 model, Boeing in November 2013 kicked off the project to design and build a modernised and vastly improved variant of this aircraft. The new design initially designated, Boeing 777X, is offered in two variants, the Boeing 777 8 and the Boeing 777 9. Much like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was referred to as the Boeing 7E7 during its design phase, the 777X is now marketed as the 777-8 and the 777-9 and was offered to market from May 2013.

Artist impression of the Qatar Airways Boeing 777X.
Artists impression of the Lufthansa Boeing 777X.
Boeing 777X Folding Wingtips
The design for the 777 9 which will be the launch variant was finalised on 03 September 2015. This was after tirelessly consulting with customers and suppliers to arrive at final design parameters which will be carried forward to the targeted launch date sometime in 2020.
The 777X will benefit from new technologies that have been brought about in the creation of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The Boeing 777X will have folding wing-tips when not in flight so that airport gates will not have to be modified.
Improvements that will be evident to the travelling public will come in the form of a modernised cabin with features such as larger windows, a wider cabin and improved lighting.
Boeing 777X Operating Economy
Airlines will be very keen to note the vast improvement in operating costs of this Boeing 777 jet. The fuel-saving over its nearest competitors is expected to be around 12 per cent. In addition, a 10 per cent improvement in operating costs is expected through standardisation of parts etc.
How are these savings made possible?
The Boeing 777X will be using a higher proportion of composite materials in construction than the current model, in line with improvements in technology.
The Boeing 777X will use much of the new technology of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner such as noise reduction engine nacelles and scimitar wingtips.
This will reduce weight and increase strength. The Boeing 777X will also be using the worlds most advanced jet engine, namely the General Electric GE9X. This engine is expected to deliver a 5 per cent increase in efficiency, which will contribute to the lower operating cost.
It's about the wing.
The wing of the Boeing 777X will be remarkably different to any found on a current commercial aircraft. Boeing has come up with a way to compromise between giving the aircraft a larger wingspan and thereby improving lift with the resultant saving in fuel, whilst at the same time not impacting upon the aircraft's ability to use standard width gates at airports. The wing shape itself is similar to that of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Boeing 747 8 in that it has a sabre like raked tip as opposed to winglets. The remarkable piece, however, is that the outer 3.15 metres (10 feet 4 inches) of each wing has the ability to fold upwards, much like fighter planes on an aircraft carrier, when the aircraft is not in flight. This means that when the aircraft is given take-off clearance, the wing-tips are deployed, setting them in the down and locked position. Conversely, on landing, the aircraft will raise the tips as it leaves the runway so that obstructions on either side of the taxiway are not struck and of course the aircraft can fit into the terminal gate area.
Boeing wowed the crowds at the 2021 Dubai airshow with some very impressive flying of the Boeing 777X -9. Just look at the size of those engines.
The two variants of the Boeing 777X on offer, the 777 8 and 777 9, will enable versatility for airlines, matching passenger volumes and route distance as required. The Boeing 777 8 which will compete directly with the Airbus A350 1000, will carry around 350 passengers over a distance of 17,220 KM (9,300 NM).
The Boeing 777 9 will carry in excess of 400 passengers over a distance of 15,185 KM (8,200 NM).
The significant payload and range increases will enable 777X to outperform the Airbus A350.
Check out this video from Boeing explaining the features of the ground breaking wing-tip technology.
The 777X is slated for service entry in 2020. As with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, there will be design changes along the way, and there will of course be new technology that we currently know nothing about. Come back from time to time to see updates.
Boeing wowed the crowds with the high performance demonstration display of the Boeing 777X abilities at the Dubai Airshow in November 2021.
Boeing 777-8 and 777-9 Time Line.
2010-2011 Boeing responded to the updated Airbus A350 with 3 777X models targeted for design firming up by 2015 and first flight in 2018/19. Entry into service is targeted for 2019.
March 2013 Boeing selects the GE9X with a 335CM(132IN) fan.
01 May 2013 Boeing's board approves the selling of the 777LX to replace the 777-300ER from 2021.
18 September 2013 Lufthansa becomes the launch customer of the 777-9X with 34 orders.
November 2013 At the Dubai air show the 777-8X was launched. The 259 orders and commitments amounting to US$95 Billion at list, was the largest launch by monetary value ever.
November 2013 At the Dubai air show, the "X" designator was dropped from the 777 model names.
December 2014 Boeing begins construction of a new 367,000sq ft composite facility in St. Louis.
August 2015 Final design of the 777-9 is locked down with a target introduction of December 2019, brought forward from 2020.
June 2017 Lufthansa considered delaying their order and reduced it down to 20 airframes in favour of more Airbus A350s. This pushed Emirates who had the largest order of 150 into the launch airline position.
September 2017 First assembly of the wing test example, with the top section lowered onto a jig for drilling.
November 2017 90% of engineering drawings are released.
February 2018 Subaru (ex Fuji Heavy Industries) completes the first wing-box constructed of aluminium/titanium complete with landing gear wheel wells in Handa, Japan.
February 2018 Wing components were ready to go through Boeing's own assembly plant with advise from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries who were the manufacturers of the 787 composite wings. This is the first time that Boeing has not outsourced this work.
February 2018 Sub-fuselage sections were shipped. Centre wing box from Subaru, centre and forward fuselage panels from Kawasaki Heavy Industries and aft fuselage panels from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
March 2018 Assembly starts on the first 777-9 fuselage.
May 2018 The F.A.A. approves the folding composite wing tips.

Whats up with the 777-8 as I just heard it doesn't exist by Johnny Jet
Hi Leo,
Johnny is right. Currently there is no 777-8. However, since 2013 Boeing has been developing the 777X. With its first flight expected next year in 2020, the 777X will be offered in two variants, the 777-8 and the 777-9. So maybe a year or two away yet, but it will exist.

Hi, love your website and information! They're all really helpful
I just wonder do you also have any information about Boeing 777X's material composition?
Like 787 dream liner it's consisted of 50% composites 20% Al and 15% Ti.
I heard 777X has less composites but not sure how much it would be.
Or it would be great if you just give me any source where I can find such info
Hi Jeffery,

Hi Peter
This article is factually correct concerning the 777X static test.
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeing-777xs-fuselage-split-dramatically-during-september-stress-test/
thank you for sharing that article. It is heartening to know that testing is pushed to such extreme limits and it would be heartening to know that aircraft makers go back to the drawing board to research and correct "unexpected" failures. Whilst these conditions are far from expected in an aircraft's normal operating life, it doesn't mean they can't happen.

Tiger Moth 90th Anniversary Fly-in, Brakpan
By Russell Dixon-Paver
With acknowledgement to Gordon Bain's excellent book - de Havilland - A pictorial Tribute: Some interesting historical background to the Tiger Moth DH82A starts with the birth of Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, it's designer on 27th of July 1882. His father was Reverend Charles de Havilland and Geoffrey always had an interest in mechanical things. He attended school at Oakfield in Rugby and St Edwards School in Oxford and commenced with a three-year mechanical engineering course at Crystal Palace Engineering School in 1900. His final project at this school was to design and build a petrol-powered engine, which he fitted to a cycle-frame and used for transport to and from his family home, the rectory at Crux Easton, near Newbury, Berkshire! Quite an engineering achievement for 1903!
He then designed and built another petrol engine while at Williams and Robinson of Rugby, later working at the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Company and the Motor Omnibus Construction Company. At this latter company, he met Frank T Hearle, who worked for the Vanguard Omnibus Company, Geoffrey and Frank both developed an interest in the new-found sport of aviating. With the tone of Geoffrey's career path thus firmly set, he decided he wanted to build his own aeroplane. His grandfather advanced him 1000 Pounds for the project, his bequest on his grandfather's death. He designed a new horizontally-opposed, water cooled four-cylinder engine that was built by the Iris Motor Company at a cost of 250 Pounds and he and Frank rented a workshop in Fulham to build the biplane with canard foreplane and rear stabilizer. The first flight at Seven barrows on the Hampshire Downs in December 1908 ended badly when the port wings spar failed. Fortunately, Geoffrey was not injured and a second aeroplane was built, using lessons learnt from the first failure and flew again at Seven Barrows on 10 September 1910. The War Office bought the aircraft for 400 Pounds and Geoffrey obtained his Royal Aero Club Aviator's Certificate (No. 53) on 7 February 1911 at Farnborough, where the aircraft was called the FE1 (Farman Experimental). This aircraft crashed on 15 August 1911.
Geoffrey joined the Army Aircraft Factory at Farnborough and this became the Royal Aircraft Establishment and later the British Aerospace Establishment. He joined the reserve Royal Flying Corps in 1912 as a 2nd Lieutenant. Shortly before the First World War, Geoffrey, by then a captain, was persuaded by George Holt Thomas to leave the Royal Aircraft Factory and join the Aircraft Manufacturing Company as Chief Designer, where he was responsible for the DH2 through to the DH9 during the war.
After the war, there were cut-backs and various changes of hands of companies took place and the de Havilland Aircraft Company was eventually formed on 25 September 1920. They set up at the Stag Lane site and times were really very difficult, but an important order came for a three-seat touring aircraft from Alan S Butler, who later invested in and became the Chairman of the company until 1950. Mr Butler led the company to great achievements leading towards the merger with Hawker Siddeley in 1960 and ultimately continuing into British Aerospace PLC. The company was saved from the ravages of the Depression years by the DH37 aircraft built in 1922.
Geoffrey de Havilland was knighted in 1944 for his services to aviation. A giant in terms of influence on the direction of aviation in the UK and indeed, the world!
Geoffrey had a vision to make aviation accessible to more people by the design of a simple and relatively inexpensive aircraft in the form of the DH51. He flew the prototype on 1 July 1924. There were difficulties with the certification of the RAF 1A and a Renault engine was modified by Major Halford to achieve certification, but due to the increased cost, only three DH51's were built. The last one built, which is the only remaining DH51, is at the Shuttleworth Collection registration G-EBIR and known as �Miss Kenya� because the original buyer was in Mombasa, having been restored in 1965.
Geoffrey designed a scaled-down version of the DH51, this being the DH60 �Moth�. Many of the de Havilland aircraft were named after moths as Captain de Havilland was a keen lepidologist. Again, Major Frank Halford designed a new engine for the DH60, based on some design elements of the old Renault engine. This became the Cirrus I upright 60hp engine. The DH60 was a biplane of fabric-covered spruce and plywood construction and had place for pilot and tandem passenger seating for two. She had folding wings, which were stressed for aerobatics and the folded width was 9' 8�, which saved hangar space and fees.
The DH60 Moth could cover 300 miles at cruise speed over 80 mph. Empty weight was 764lb and all up 1250lbs. Geoffrey de Havilland flew first one on 22 February 1925 at Stag Lane and twenty were built in 1925. DH60's were also built under license in Australia and Finland and were well known for being flown by Sir Francis Chichester from London to Sydney in 1929 & Amy Johnson in 1930. Various other engines were used - Cirrus II, III Hermes and Armstrong Siddely Gennet, while some DH60's were used by the RAF Central Flying school with the DH60G Gennet Moth. De Havilland wanted their own engine, because engine availability potentially limited the success of the DH60, when sales �took off� from 1926. Major Frank Halford was approached to develop de Havilland's own Gipsy 1 engine of 100hp for the new DH60G Gipsy Moth, which won the 1928 Kings Cup at 105mph and contributed greatly to de Havilland's popularity across the globe. They were manufactured under license in France and the USA. A DH60M Metal Moth with a welded steel tube fuselage frame, in place of the wooden frame, was 62lb heavier but less maintenance was required and it opened the way for more powerful engines in the form of the Gipsy II, which was an upright 120hp engine and then the Gipsy III, which was the first inverted format of 120hp. The Gipsy Major was also inverted and further developed to 130hp output. The inverted engine provided improved visibility for the pilot and a more streamlined cowling. With the Gipsy III engine fitted, the DH60 became known as the DH60G III Moth Major.
The DH60T was a development of the DH60M and was offered against Air Ministry specification which required full dual-controls for training as the new RAF trainer. The DH60T design remained difficult for the front seated instructor to exit the aircraft by parachute in an emergency and various modifications were made to flying wires, but it still remained a problem. The solution was to move the top wing forward, but this would alter the centre of pressure, so the top wing was swept back to compensate for this.
During September 1931, 90 years ago, changes to the design were made, including increased sweepback and dihedral on the lower wing and this modification prompted a new type number and the Tiger Moth was born, thus becoming the DH82!
Further development of the Gipsy III engine produced the 130HP Gipsy Major engine and other refinements to the design produced the DH82A Tiger Moth, which known world-wide as an excellent training aircraft.
The Tiger Moth was strong, reliable and an excellent trainer because you had to be a good pilot to fly it accurately - as stated by some of the period instructors. The first one flew on 26 October 1931. Initial production was at Stag Lane factory, which was moved to Hatfield in 1934 and again to Cowley, near Oxford, in 1941, to make way for production of the Mosquito at Hatfield. They were also produced in Toronto - Canada, Sydney - Australia, Rongotai near Wellington in New Zealand, Portugal, Norway and Sweden, forming the underpinnings of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
During WWII, there were 30 flying schools using Tiger Moths in the UK, another 55 in Canada, Australia, Rhodesia and South Africa. Tens of thousands of pilots trained 200 hours to receive their wings, before training conversion onto advanced trainers and operational types.
Over 8000 Tiger Moths were produced and many are still flying today, having been beautifully restored, not least, in South Africa. G-ACDC is apparently the oldest flying DH82A Tiger Moth and was built at Hatfield in 1933. She was the 3rd Production Tiger Moth.
Susan Prinsloo was a prime-mover in organising this well-run event to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the Tiger Moth. Grant Timms assisted in getting arrangements finalised and in communicating to the various stakeholders. Keith Fryer was the safety officer for the day and his team of marshallers assisted pilots to park in an orderly fashion and ensure no one got near whirling propellers. Susan is the proud owner of the oldest Tiger Moth in attendance - ZS-BGL. There was a great welcoming atmosphere around the Brakpan Aero Club clubhouse and a scrumptious breakfast with plenty of hydration was available to deal with a very warm day.

Six Tiger Moths and a Stampe - Seven Tiger Noses and Tails in line with props dressed. After a short rest, a pilot briefing was held for a seven-ship formation fly-past over the main runway. A �mass start� - within the limitations of hand starting, was then done before the �Tiger Formation� headed for the threshold for take-off and form-up.

ZS-BGL completed a flypast each way down the grass runway before the remaining three Tiger Moths landed back at Brakpan.
Susan concentrates on turning ZS-BGL into its parking spot to complete the formal side of the 90th Anniversary of Tiger Moth.
Susan was interviewed for TV and posed for some footage.
There were many visiting aircraft, too many to feature all of them. Here are some of the highlights.
Karl Jensen makes his customary flypast as he leaves having, as is his practice, supported the event.
Nico van Staden heads back to Rand giving a young man a taste of aviation passion in his immaculate Waco - those big radial sounds so relaxed as it hauls this big biplane around the sky.
