April 8, 1915: New Pump Station at Saugus, Massachusetts
April 8, 1915: Municipal Journalarticle. New Pumping Station Near Completion. "Saugus, Mass.-Work on Saugus' $25,000 standpipe is progressing rapidly and will be completed in a few weeks. The standpipe is situated on the highest elevation in town. The elevation from the floor of the pump house to the base of the standpipe is 200 feet and with the additional 85 feet, which will be the height of the standpipe, will give a pressure of 126 to 130 pounds, which, at the present time averages 40 pounds pressure in Saugus Centre and East Saugus. The contractors are the Chicago Bridge & Iron Works Co., of Chicago. The standpipe will be supplied by two 300-gallon centrifugal pumps, manufactured by the De Laval Pump Company. These pumps will be driven by two 20-horsepower Westinghouse motors, automatically arranged to keep the height of water in the standpipe at a stated level, without the employment of an attendant. The standpipe is to be used for fire protection principally, for which purpose there has been installed a 6-inch remote control, electrically operated valve, to be operated from the central fire station, which, in case of fire, by the pressing of a button will force the standpipe pressure into the mains."

Commentary: Pumps powered by electric motors were taking over from the old technology of powering water pumps with steam engines.

December 24, 1896: Large Centrifugal Pump; 1914: Death of John Muir
December 24, 1896: Engineering Newsarticle–A Large Direct-Driven Centrifugal Pump. "We illustrate herewith a centrifugal sewage pump designed and built for the city of Norfolk, Va., by the Morris Machine Works, Baldwinsville, N. Y. The pump has 20-in. suction and 18-in. discharge, the latter connected to a 20-ln. piping. The actual head worked against Is 26 ft., but when the pump is driven to Its maximum capacity, discharging about 9,000 gallons of water per minute and forcing It through the discharge pipe, which is 1,600 ft. long, the total head pumped against Is equivalent to about 5 ft….
The sewage and drainage from the city flows into a well from which the pump takes its supply, discharging it in the river. The side and sectional views, Fig. 2, show the construction of the pump. The runner is made completely of bronze, so as to withstand the corroding action of sewage and the gases contained therein."
Commentary: Great pump. Unfortunately, they used it to pump raw sewage into the river, which was a common occurrence in the 1890s. Sewage treatment plants were rare during this period. It would take several decades before sewage treatment was the rule instead of the exception.

December 24, 1914: John Muir dies."John Muir (21 April 1838 – 24 December 1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is now one of the most important conservation organizations in the United States. One of the most well-known hiking trails in the U.S., the 211-mile (340 km) John Muir Trail, was named in his honor. Other places named in his honor are Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir and Muir Glacier.
In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to the preservation of the Western forests. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890, establishing both Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. Because of the spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings, he was able to inspire readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. He is today referred to as the "Father of the National Parks," and the National Park Service produced a short documentary on his life."
Commentary: Dam construction to create the Hetch Hetchy water supply for San Francisco in Yosemite National Park was approved by Congress in early December of 1913. This was a major defeat for Muir and some say that it affected his health so much that he died of a broken heart.

July 24, 1998: Enron Aquires Wessex Water; 1844: Steam Engine Patent; 1855: Water Meter Patent
July 24, 1998– Enron Corporation, electricity and gas company in Houston, TX, signed dealto acquire British-based Wessex Water, PLC for $2.2 billion–which was reportedly paid in cash; signaled Enron's first move towards creating a global water subsidiary—Azurix.
Commentary: The global water business of Azurix crashed and burned just like the parent company. I had some connections with the folks planning the future of their water holdings and it was clear from the beginning that they had little clue about what they were doing. Near the end, I attended a reception hosted by Azurix at the AWWA annual conference in Denver. After a conversation with an attorney for the company over drinks, it was clear to me that the days of the company were numbered.

Dilwale- A typical Rohit Shetty flick which relies too heavily on SRK's stardom
Cast- Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Boman Irari, Vinod Khanna, Johnny Lever
Director- Rohit Shetty
Verdict - 3/5
SRK-Kajol jodi, fancy cars, heart pounding action, and adding to that SRK's only movie of the year.Will Dilwale live up to its hype? Read on to find out
Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) alias Kali is a gangster-turned- garage owner who has moved on from his previous life. His brother, Veer (Varun Dhawan) is a sweet-natured flirt who falls in love with Ishita (Kriti Sanon). Soon, Veer and Ishita develop feelings for each other and decide to tell their families about their relationship. Raj, on seeing their love, accepts their relationship and decides to talk to Ishita's family. Upon entering Ishita's house, Raj encounters Meera (Kajol) which opens up old wounds. Both Raj and Meera refuse to accept Veer and Ishita's relationship and tell them to stay away from each other. What is the history between Raj and Meera? Will Veer and Ishita's love prevail? Watch the movie to find out
Shah Rukh Khan gives a great performance here. His eyes can really convey a lot of emotions. He really is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to romance. Kajol gives a good performance here although she has done better in the past. She looks more gorgeous than ever before. The SRK-Kajol Jodi is still capable of kindling up a fire. They truly share a great chemistry between them. Varun Dhawan is the star of the show. He has grown leaps and bounds and is truly an actor to watch out for in the future. Kriti Sanon is however, unconvincing. She looks a bit out of place here.
The direction is okay. Although the film is a little slow in the first half, its pace picks up in the second. The one-liners are rib-tickling and some scenes are really hilarious which keeps the viewers entertained throughout. The 5 minute date scene between SRK and Kajol and the scene in which Varun proposes to Kriti stays with you even after the movie. The locations are beautifully captured. The story however, is the main drawback. It is very predictable and has many loopholes. The lack of a credible antagonist also hurts the film's cause. The ending is a bit of an anticlimax. The music by Pritam is decent with Gerua being the highlight.
Final verdict- The film is a must match for die-hard SRK fans. Others can give it a try.
Bajirao Mastani
- Sidharth Sharma.
Bajirao Mastani- Overloaded with Extravagance, but let-down by a slow-paced screenplay!
Cast- Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Milind Soman, Tanvi Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar
Direction- Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Verdict- 3.5/5
It is easy to fight your enemies, but equally tough to stand against your loved-ones! This line is, in itself, enough to explain the premise of 'Bajirao Mastani'. Directed by Bhansali, this movie has created much pre-release hype. Will it be able to live upto our expectations? Let's find out.
Peshwa Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) takes over the throne as the new Maratha Warrior. He is said to be insurmountable - courtesy, his wife Kashi (Priyanka Chopra), in whom he finds his strength. However, things change when Mastani (Deepika Padukone), daughter of the King of Bundelkhand, seeks his help in saving Bundelkhand. Soon, Bajirao and Mastani fall for each other. But due to religious differences, Mastani is not accepted by Bajirao's family. Will 'Love' be able to overcome the barriers of 'Religion'? This is what the rest of the story is about!
Based on the life of the famous Maratha Warrior, Peshwa Bajirao, this movie had the potential to be the best historical drama, ever produced in India. But inspite of an engrossing storyline, the movie is let down by a not-so-strong screenplay! The story focuses mainly on Bajirao's love-life, amidst the backdrop of a historical drama. It delivers an astounding message, without actually exhorting about it. But the problem lies with the screenplay, which is somewhat flawed! It loses pace at parts and seems to be engulfed in its own grandeur! Certain developments have not been reasoned properly and in certain parts, the narrative remains shallow. However, it is not that bad either! Infact, certain scenes have been resplendently written. The climax is perhaps, the most heart-wrenching scene. The dialogues seem to be perfect for a historical film and work in favour of the film.
'Bajirao Mastani' boasts of some of the finest performances of the year! Ranveer Singh, as Bajirao, does full justice to his character. While in certain scenes, he acts more like 'Ram' of 'Ramleela', rather than 'Bajirao', in other sequences (particularly the war scenes), he shines! Mastani, played by Deepika Padukone, steals the show! She fits into the skin of the character and portrays her character brilliantly. With every film, she keeps on getting better and better! This one can be said to be her best performance till date. Priyanka Chopra delivers a stellar performance, inspite of a lesser screen space! She has a couple of strong moments in the film. Tanvi Azmi, as Bajirao's mother is absolutely convincing. Other actors are equally impressive!
The movie is exquisite in terms of the sets and costumes, something which Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for. Ostentatious sets and gorgeous costumes (by Anju Modi) add to the grandeur and enhance the cinematographic aspect of the film! All the scenes have been vividly shot, with the ample use of CGI. Fine editing makes the movie a visual spectacle! However, the film's music seems to be a bit unimpressive, with only 'Deewani Mastani' leaving a mark!
Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali does a sincere effort this time. Bajirao Mastani is one of his finest works till date! With a more gripping screenplay, the movie could have been a masterpiece. Nevertheless, the movie definitely deserves to be seen!
Final Verdict- Watch it out for some outstanding performances and Bhansali's excellent direction!
Maa....ek aadat
- Akhtar Hussain.
Certain things can only be experienced not expressed, only meant for your senses to cherish - a touch to feel the warmth that radiates all those positive vibes within you to excite a potential that directly strings all the cords that connects mind to heart. Sense of smell to feel the fresh new breeze of the spring, experience that earthly tinge of wet soil , so is the hot and delicious curry that hits our taste buds and caramelizes in our mouths ; beats n ragas pumping our tympanic membrane, sweeping ones feet to groove and those gleaming pair of eyes, shining like a diamond hypnotizing the admirer, dragging him into its vastness.
When was the last time I saw her ! though the time has passed, it has been like ages ago but going by English calendar three months thirteen days have passed and with each passing day the hunger to see her again goes on increasing .
Maa usually avoids travelling but this time she came all the way travelling 2.5 hrs to see me off at the railway station as both of us knew this time it's going to be long. Sitting beside her in that auto, my head resting on her shoulders, the warmth of her hands embracing my hair; not a word spoken. Oh that journey, I was living every moment of it. I was reluctant to let go off her hands and she was trying to shower over me all the love she had, just wanted it to go on and on.
Time passed like water flowing off the palm, came the time of departure, the train whistled and suddenly all the winds started blowing opposite. A realization came, there is so much left to say a feeling of cold and fear grasped me how can I live without her, I need her ; somebody please stop this thing , can I jump , I want to shout Maa please don't send me away. But then I see her eyes replying , comforting with its warmth , assuring of her presence within me "And all I said was see u soon Maa , and all she did was smile and smile" ( quoting- Shyama kamaladas)
The wind got faster , whistle got louder things started moving backwards but leaning forward from the doorway, my eyes still fixed on her, struggling to capture her as she disappeared amidst those stranger faces. All of these 91 days, I have spent exploring for her fragrance, wherever I go my eyes search for her eyes in every person I meet, feel for her warmth from every hand I touch and visit place to place, restaurant to restaurants to treat my taste buds with same delight of Maa's recipe. From my window when I send my eyes into the blues of the distant sky, I try to feel for the stillness of my mother's face. You suffuse every sense of mine Maa, but your sight escapes me.

BULLET FOR MY FRIEND
- .Mahbub
It was our forensic science lecture, the most awaited lecture of the week for those who love crime stories suspense and thriller movies, for which they can connect a little with the subject and above all a person like me who like to watch crime patrol series and formulate the climax before the cops could reach it.
Above all this subject connects me, this is what I feel and it many a times took me to my old golden days.
One such day, our Professor was giving a lecture on the topic "FIRE ARMS" dealing with guns, cartridges, bullets and all other stuffs related to it. While gluing my eyes to Sir's slides on the screen and ears tuned to sirs words, ".303" this word extract of sir's lecture hit my gray matter at an instant and took me to some other world, the world which I lived a few years back. I could not stop smiling to myself, being in a state of utopia, though for a moment keeping myself off from sir's eyes. ".303", I thought, I remembered and again I smiled to myself.
.303 rifle is of British origin, in service since 1889. It got its name from its bullet's diameter, .303 of an inch or 7.92 mm. Used in many historically significant wars such as Boer Wars, World Wars etc. But more than these it's an indispensable part of Sainik school and NCC days; the firing range, firing target , those odious scolding of the drill instructor, collecting shells and sometimes the crushed bullet from the fired wall, the days worth cherishing.
It was the period when Orkut and other social networks were gaining pace and popularity especially among the youths. It was replacing our anarchic ways of expression. Posting photos of our camps with camouflaged uniform became a trend as it makes us different from other people on those sites. So taking pictures of camp days with tents and forest on background, camouflaged clothes guarding our body and of course guns on hand was a kind of a mandatory craze for everyone.
I too was not spared by the endemic, I suffered the same "click pic" syndrome. Things became so horrible that focusing towards the camera gained more importance than focusing on targets.
So one fine day, when it was our section's turn for firing, we equipped ourselves with all the necessary items required for the day viz.. our .303 gun, bullets, targets and headed towards the firing range. Some of my click pic affected friends packed themselves with cameras as it was the paracetamol for this fever.
After a short wait and practicing in blank imaginary targets, it was our turn to fire. "Take your position" was the call of our drill instructor. I laid down on the mat aiming towards the target with my .303 gun. Meanwhile my closest friend of that moment Sunny was ready to capture me in action with his camera. We had a deal, to click each other in action as both were patients of click pic. "GOLI BHAAR" was the second command of our drill instructor making us load bullets in the gun. We were ready to fire as well as to pose to get captured in the camera. I was looking at Sunny's camera and suddenly I heard "FIRE", the call of the instructor. In dire moment I pulled the trigger and the bullet sprang out of the barrel landing near Sunny's feet instead of the target. Jumping and trembling with fear he kept humming "O MA, O MA BASILU". I didn't have any idea when the barrel turned towards the camera lenses along with my eyes. Thanking almighty was the only thing I could do at the moment for not creating a grave situation.
I didn't have a Valentine then and my fate took it so seriously that it changed the name of BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE , a trending band of the time, to BULLET FOR MY FRIEND just to honour my episode.
After this episode ,it was our turn to face the music, the lashes of cane stick, rolling on the ground ,frog jumps and of course the odious scolding of instructor. All these was not enough, "CADET ANOWAR HUSSAIN AWARDED EXTRA DRILL FOR 3 DAYS" was the top headline in the house/hostel notice board. Getting an extra drill was considered a curse in our school; it is a trailer of how hell could be. Running for 2.5 kms holding SLR rifle above head, rolling on pitched roads, push ups and whatever stuff that came into our PTI and Drill instructors mind, making us bath in sweats and cramps all over the body.
After all these Typhoon I came across, I got cured of the syndrome and sweared never to get affected by it again and also if possible to create an awareness about its consequences. Afterall being social on social networks is ok but showing off is/was/will never be ok and I learned it to the core.
A Desire
-Apoorva Tiwari
Away from reality
She was living alone.
Alone in silence,
Desiring a soul.
A soul of light & love
She desires..
Desires a way
That only God admires.
A reality, so narrow
Indulging all around.
She laughs, she cries
As she was not found.
Morning or mourning
A thing same for her
Not even a single soul
Was with her.
But, here she goes
Deciding to stand.
Stand for her reality
Holding, her own hand.
Out of the line
Unafraid of the crowd
Charisma of her heroism
Was read out loud.
Then she speaks
With soft, vivid tone.
Don't misjudge,
Power of alone.
And so is life.
My dear friend.
Afraid we are
No need to pretend.
Cast your world
With power of love cord
Follow your desires
No need of sword
You are one,
As she was before.
Even one out..
What God adores!!
Endure the World
- Nuruddin Md. Iqbal.
The twists are hefty
The cords are tight
It won't break loose
No matter how much I fight
The grip is fierce
Covert in every tear
I wish to surmount
This emptiness of fear
I cognise once on my own
I might not survive
But there is mere prospect
For me to be alive
The toll of loosing the bond
Could be my biggest mistake,
But I'm done living
A life I can no longer fake
Then, amidst this forlorn
A gentle voice called
It's your life for sure
Break all knots, endure the world.
- Sidharth Sarma.
Hate Story 3- Unconvincing, Unrealistic- in short, a highly disappointing movie!
Cast- Sharman Joshi, Karan Singh Grover, Zareen Khan, Daisy Shah, Priyanshu Chatterji
Direction- VishalPandya
Sex sells. It really does! The trailer of Hate Story 3 is, in itself, enough to prove this point. The trailer, which received more than a million views in just a few days, was well-appreciated by the audiences. Does the movie live upto our expectations? Well, the answer is definitely a 'no'!
The movie starts off with Aditya Diwan (Sharman Joshi), a Mumbai-based industrialist, inaugurating a multi-speciality hospital, as a tribute to his deceased brother, Vikram Diwan (Priyanshu Chatterji). He is married to Sia (Zareen Khan). But his entire world turns upside down when Saurav Singhania (Karan Singh Grover) enters his life. He proposes to pay him any amount of money in return for letting Sia sleep with him. With the help of his employee, Kaya (Daisy), Aditya tries to find out Saurav's motive. Will Aditya accept this proposal? Will he be able to find out Saurav's motive? The rest of the movie answers these questions
The story had the potential to make a good film, but it has been stuffed with a lot of unrealistic elements and unexplained circumstances, which makes it quite unbelievable. It looks like a mashup of 'Indecent Proposals', 'Race' and a few episodes of any TV soap- plastic surgery, a plane crash survivor, and what not! But yes, the movie does provide certain twists and turns, which have been brilliantly thought of (or copied, for that purpose)! When it comes to suspense, the movie does provide a lot more than the previous two installments. Only if they had been executed well, the movie would have been better! All those who are wondering whether the intimate scenes have been retained or not (considering the 'sanskarism' of our censor board), do not worry! The movie has dozens of intimate shower and bedroom scenes. However, the major disappointment in the movie is the screenplay, which has been very lazily written. There is no proper characterization and no depth in the plot. On top of that, the movie is filled with (irritating) songs, which interrupt its pace drastically! It is only towards the second half that the movie gains some pace. The dialogues are cheesy and filled with 'F'-words, which will definitely appeal to the masses!
The 'Hate Story' franchisee is known for two things- intimate scenes and bold performances (especially, by the female lead). But this one is a major letdown in terms of performances! Zareen Khan delivers a decent but over-the-top performance. Even her skin show couldn't compensate for her poor acting skills! Daisy Shah delivers a performance, which can put even Uday Chopra to shame! She desperately needs some acting classes! Sarcastically, in one of the scenes, Karan Singh Grover tells her, "Tumhe actor banna chahiye"!! Sharman Joshi is perhaps, the only saving grace of the movie! He acts well, in a half-baked role. Karan Singh Grover has shown a lot of improvement since his previous release, 'Alone'. He should focus more on his acting skills, rather than his physique. Priyanshu Chatterji, in a brief role, lends good support to other actors!
Inspite of a lot of flaws in the screenplay, the movie does keep you glued- thanks to the editing team. All the scenes are sharp and well shot. The camera-work has been well handled to capture the scenes, especially the top-angle view, which is extremely important for an erotica (pun intended)! The background music works perfectly in accordance with the film's theme. The soundtrack doesn't boast of any great number, apart from 'Tumhe Apna Banane Ka'. Other songs simply interrupt the film's pace!
Vishal Pandya's direction is certainly flawed. He needs to learn a lot from Vivek Agnihotri (director of the first installment of Hate Story), who displayed so much finesse in depicting a relatively simpler plot so brilliantly! He could have given a bit more attention to the screenplay and in extracting a little more from his actors. Certainly, not upto the mark!
Final Verdict- Watch it only if you are a hardcore fan of this series. Otherwise, just give it a miss!

Manager Kevin Russell was delighted with his Stoke City under-23 side following a stirring comeback to draw with PL2 leaders Wolves.
"They're a good group of boys- they give me everything every game," Russell said after seeing Stoke come back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Harrison Park.
Strikes from Mark Waddington and Harry Souttar ensured Stoke gained a point against the league leaders and it was midfielder Waddington's introduction on the hour-mark that helped spark Stoke into life.
"The substitutes changed the game (for Stoke). Mark (Waddington) and Tre (Pemberton) came on and did really well and we got on top and in the end I thought we were unlucky not to win the game," Russell said.
Wolves had come into the game on the back of an impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester United and had put themselves into a comfortable lead thanks to Benny Ashley-Seal's brace.
With the scores locked level, there was late drama as both teams saw vocal penalty calls waved away by referee Simon Mather.
The boss was able to call upon Souttar for the first time since he limped off in the Checkatrade Trophy win at Morecambe and the giant Scot impressed at the heart of the defence, as well as netting the crucial equalising goal.
The result saw Stoke drop to seventh position in the table, but the team's performances have been impressive to date, with Lasse Sorensen being rewarded for a string of good displays by being nominated for PL2 Player of the Month.
"Lasse has been good," the manager said. "He was very good at the end of last season and got himself a debut in the Premier League. By his standards he's started a little slowly but he's getting back to where he was.
Russell's under-23s now focus on cup action on Thursday with a journey to Charlton Athletic (Premier League Cup) followed by the trip north to Carlisle United in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Q: compareTo with integer I'm trying to use compareTo with an integer but it won't let me. Help please! Here's my code:
public int compareTo(Book book)
   {
       if (this.author.compareToIgnoreCase(book.author) < 0) return -1;
       if (this.author.compareToIgnoreCase(book.author) > 0) return 1;
       if (this.author.equalsIgnoreCase(book.author))
       {
           if (this.numOfPages.compareTo(book.numOfPages) < 0) return -1;
           else if (this.lyrics.compareToIgnoreCase(song.lyrics) > 0) return 1;
           else if (this.lyrics == song.lyrics) return 0;
           else return 1;
       }
       return 0;
   }

A: I'm guessing you are defining numOfPages as :
int numOfPages;  //primitive integer

if you instead use the object repsentation of int , it should work.
for example:
Integer numOfPages; //object integer

Warren Mears is a fictional character that is portrayed by Adam Busch in the American television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The character also appears in canonical comic book series continuation of that series. He is the main antagonist in season six, until Willow turns to her dark side and kills him.

Characterization
Actor Adam Busch claims that he does not see Warren as simply a villain or purely evil person. He explains that the character has various flaws and positives, and is always given the chance to redeem himself. "He's always given that moment where he can do the right thing that he never ever does," says Busch. "Because he is flawed and he does have a lot of issues and an inability to communicate or talk to anyone or really explain what it is that he wants." Writer Jane Espenson draws comparisons between the characters of Buffy and Warren, claiming, "When Buffy's talking with Warren about his break-up with April, she's actually identifying with him, because she did a lot of the same stuff with Riley that he did with April."

Warren forms alliances with Andrew Wells, summoner of demons; and Jonathan Levinson, caster of spells. Together, the three are known as "The Trio." The Trio strive to neutralize Buffy, the Slayer, and thus the primary obstacle to their ultimate goal of taking over Sunnydale. Though initially comic relief and little more than a nuisance to the Scooby Gang, they take a darker turn by the episode "Dead Things". Most of their schemes combine science and mysticism, and they are able to avoid detection by the Scoobies (who merely assume their activities to be the doings of demons) until halfway through the season.

Appearances
Warren has made 31 canonical Buffyverse appearances.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Adam Busch guest starred as Warren in 16 episodes:

Season 5 (2001): "I Was Made to Love You", "Intervention"
Season 6 (2001-02): "Flooded", "Life Serial", "Smashed", "Gone", "Dead Things", "Normal Again", "Entropy", "Seeing Red", "Villains"
Season 7 (2002-03): "Lessons", "Conversations with Dead People", "Never Leave Me", "The Killer in Me", "Storyteller"

Warren appeared in 15 issues:

Season 8 (2007-10): "The Long Way Home, Parts 3 & 4", "Time of Your Life, Parts 1 & 4", "Retreat, Parts 1, 2 & 5", "Twilight, Parts 1-4", "Last Gleaming, Parts 1, 3 & 4", "Always Darkest"

Whole Foods Kahala Mall
Retail, Shopping Center
Sika Sarnafil EnergySmart Single Ply Membrane
Kahala, Oahu
The Whole Foods Kahala Mall re-roofing project required the complete tear-off of the existing membrane and installation of an 80 mil EnergySmart Sarnafil fully adhered single-ply membrane. The total square footage of this project was about 200 squares.
This project had several factors that made it challenging including a large amount of rooftop equipment and penetrations that had to be worked around, other trades that had to be coordinated in tandem with the roofing work, night-work, very small spaces to work in, and live mall activity on-going at all times.
The roofing project had to be coordinated in tandem with the abatement company, electricians, HVAC and carpenters who all had sequential tasks to complete before the roofing could be installed and in a timely manner to keep the work progressing. During abatement, a lot of the metal roof decking was rotted and old vents and equipment had to be removed and replaced with new decking. Wherever the roof was exposed, plastic was installed inside the store as a proactive measure to catch any little debris that may come down during abatement. A new wall had to be installed up against the windows under the eaves.
Due to the sequence of abatement, prep and installation required per roof section, a lot of night-work was scheduled for our crew in order to ensure the roof was watertight before the end of the day.
Weather in this area was a little unpredictable as well, so coverings were set in place to allow the work to continue without affecting the store as well.
What made this project unique were the logistics and details. The roof area being re-roofed was 60% covered in mechanical equipment. Our crews had a small window daily to load and unload in the areas designated. Loading and unloading of all materials also had to be completed between 4am – 6am to not impede with mall operations. In order to efficiently transport materials across the roof sections, ramps were built in order to expedite the movement to and from staging areas. Working around all the existing rooftop equipment was the challenge. With all the roof details, flashing, pipe penetrations and conduits there were a couple hundred different penetrations that made this project tedious.
Lastly, a large portion of the roof area to be replace was located under an overhanging eve that ranged from 2 feet – 3 feet high depending on the insulation and slope installed. Working in this restrictive space and ensuring the details were on point was a challenge.
This Sarnafil roofing system brought the roof up to compliance with the current Hawaii Energy Code.

Rebecca Horner
I have always had a passion for styling, whether it be the décor in my own home, in preparation for a small gathering or full-scale theatre production, however, I have always had an eye for Weddings.
As a young girl, you could find me sat on the sofa binge watching some of my favourite movies: Bride Wars, 27 Dresses and The Wedding Planner to name a few!
Like many, I had big dreams of inspiring others one day with a Wedding of my own, little did I know I would have the opportunity to shape and create multiple!
To witness my ideas develop throughout each chosen theme and see them shift into something truly special for those involved, whilst helping to create a unique atmosphere for each couple on one of the most important days of their lives is something I feel is more fulfiling than any job role.
After graduating from Bangor University in 2017 with First Class Honours in Media with Theatre, I immediately transitioned into studying for a Diploma with the United Kingdom Academy of Wedding and Event Planners (UKAWEP).
I often draw inspiration from concepts and practices learnt through my Theatre degree, as directing and staging productions has ensured I am familiar with taking a concept and growing the idea to something larger than the sum of its parts, with additional flair!
I hold a great love for the inherent drama and theatrics behind a scene, especially where colours and bold designs are concerned which translates perfectly into styling a memorable Wedding!
Despite this, it is also critical to find the right balance between those striking designs and the retention of the intimacy and privacy of each couple, which is why I love to work with David! He has a way of capturing the tiny moments which can go amiss amongst all the bustle of the big day; taking a minute detail and transforming it, creating an ethereal quality and atmosphere around a specific moment in time.
I am truly excited to see what Boho Brides has in store for the both of us and hope together we will be able to help you on your beautiful journey towards the aisle!
David Retallick
Photographer & Videographer
I've always had an interest in Photography, and over the years it has become a passion that has developed organically, through endless research, and practice!
My love of both Film and Photography has taken me across the world with a variety of work over the past six years. This has included contracts both corporate and private, producing promotional videos for businesses, and shooting a number of Weddings in North Wales and beyond, which has become a real joy and passion!
The intimate, documentary style of shooting, whether through Video or Photographic media, is something that has developed naturally during my time behind the camera. I find myself looking for those 'fly on the wall' moments, which often stand out so much more than posed or premeditated images. We all look our best when we're relaxed, and I take my favourite shots when I'm involved in those memories from a small distance, and everyone is at ease and in the moment.
After meeting Rebecca in 2015, we discovered our skills and experience lent themselves well towards the business and, as well as a love for each other, we also found love in our work and ambitions in the creative side of the Weddings and Events industry.
We are fortunate enough to be based in North Wales, which is home to some of the most astonishing natural beauty in the world; Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Islands and Ocean surround us, so it's a great source of colours and texture for our themes, but also lends itself perfectly to the Bohemian way of life, which defines itself, in part, through a love of the outdoors, and freedom within natural environments.
It is this sense of place and the people within it which defines so many weddings, and it's a wonderful privilege to live and work in such a unique part of the world!
I know that planning a Wedding can be a daunting task, especially on a budget, but I am sure that together we can work to both create and capture truly special moments on your big day!

Dispersal Patterns of Subadult and Adult Colorado Squawfish in the Upper Colorado River

Abstract.—We investigated distribution and dispersal patterns of subadult and adult Colorado squawfish Ptychocheilus lucius (recently renamed the Colorado pikeminnow) throughout their range in the upper Colorado River. Annual, river-wide, capture–recapture data were used to document movements during a 5-year period (1991–1995). Average total length of Colorado squawfish progressively increased upstream: juveniles and subadults occurred almost exclusively in the lowermost 105 km of the 298-km study area, whereas most adults were concentrated in the uppermost 98 km. This was most pronounced early in the study and less so later due to the effect of two or three strong year-classes that dispersed through the system. Only 16% of subadult and adult fish initially captured and tagged in the upper reach were later located more than 10 km from the previous capture site; of those tagged in the lower reach, 58% were later located more than 10 km from the previous site. Most movements greater than 10 km were directed upstream, and many fish tagged in the lower reach moved to the upper reach; the smallest of these fish was between 421 and 449 mm in total length (TL) when it moved. No movement was detected from the upper reach to the lower. Distance moved was inversely related to fish size: displacement of fish shorter than 550 mm TL averaged 33.6 km; for those longer than 550 mm, average displacement was only 7.5 km. Movement of young adults may have been a response to changing food needs. Upstream movements placed fish into areas with greater availability of larger prey, and body condition of large adults during spring was significantly higher in the upper reach than in the lower reach. Water temperatures, however, were inversely related to adult distribution despite a preference for warmer water. We suggest that portions of the upper reach offer adults the best balance between food and water temperature.

Electric cars and the future of Nigeria's oil economy
Policy makers of about 13 countries including China (the largest car market in the world) and Japan (the third largest car market in the world) are pushing for a phase out of fossil fuel powered cars in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve urban air quality across board. In December 2019, the Swedish government set up a committee of inquiry to offer proposals on how to enforce a complete ban on the sales of fossil fuel powered cars in the country by 2040. This is coming after Europe's biggest economy, Germany, through its Bundesrat federal council, agreed to ban fossil fuel powered cars by 2030 in 2016, the same year Norway made its landmark announcement of a proposed ban on fossil fuel cars by 2025 – with a suggestion to the European Union (EU) to also introduce a ban on fossil-fuel powered vehicles. With China as the world's largest car market announcing to set a deadline for car makers to end sales of fossil fuel-powered cars, the threat of renewable energy powered vehicles to the global oil demand cannot be over emphasized.
The Threat to Nigeria's Oil Economy
According to a study by the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy, global policy makers are targeting the automobile sector as part of ambitious plans to meet international agreements to reduce gas emissions because of the probable scenario where full penetration of electric cars and other vehicles could take almost 25 million barrels per day of oil use out of the global oil market.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) also predicts that the overall demand for crude oil will plateau in 2030, due to a rise in the use and market demand for electric cars and other electric powered vehicles. In fact, according to global oil giant British Petroleum (BP), the growth of electric cars will also mitigate the growth in oil demand. BP also estimates that a 100 million increase in electric cars reduces oil demand growth by 1.2 million barrels per day.
These new developments and switch to alternative energy powered cars from the usual fossil fuel powered cars will no doubt have a massive impact on the global demand for oil, a looming problem for countries whose economies are heavily dependent on oil.
It is no longer news that Nigeria is a massively oil dependent nation. In fact, according to statistics from the National Bureau Statistics and the International Monetary Fund in 2019, 94 percent of Nigeria's export earnings come from oil exports while 57 percent of Nigeria's revenue comes from its oil exports. More damning are the projections from an Aurora Energy Research press report in 2018 of a dwindling of revenues for oil producing countries in the world by more than $20 billion between now and 2040 – furthermore, an analysis of the demand and supply effects of a 'burnout scenario' by the leading energy research and analytics firms predicts a fall in oil prices to $32 per barrel in 2040 (in today's money).
With statistics like those from the aforementioned, it is imperative to note that a rise in the mass production of electric cars and any other alternatively fueled modes of transportation would adversely affect Nigeria's fragile oil dependent economy.
Following the global economic trends, it is ominous that Nigeria has to brace up in its diversification drive or face an economic armada in the next three to five decades. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), a consultancy, notes that forecasts from oil companies have a lot more electric vehicles in them than they did a few years ago. China, which accounted for roughly half the electric cars sold in 2019, wants to see 2 million electric and plug-in hybrid cars on its roads in 2020, and 35 million car sales by 2025. There is no doubt that recent global trends will push the acceptability for electric powered vehicles and change the global economic dynamics
Not All Gloom
Fossil fuel-powered vehicles will continue to be the norm for a few more decades to come in these parts (Africa) "mostly due to an uneven distribution of the 'electric car manufacturing' technology and for the fact many parts of the world are still energy poor"[1]. With this in mind, "the uneven distribution of the technology and enabling infrastructure for electric vehicles will lead to 'dumping' – this is when fossil fuel-powered cars and other vehicles will be exported in their numbers from developed to developing countries as they are phased out by electric cars"[2].
These arguments not only shift the attention from the impact of alternative powered vehicles on oil dependent economies but also the negative effects on developing countries that may potentially arise due to technology consumption inequality.
With a gradual increase in the global levels of alternative energy consumption, not only the global auto industry but many other vital sectors will look away from fossil fuels as the years go by, ensuring that oil dependent countries like Nigeria have a rethink.
The rethink in this case should heavily depend on structural changes that diversifies Nigeria's oil based economy as a means to neutralize the impending drop in oil revenues – which is the predicted outcome of the projected global shift from fossil fueled cars to electric powered cars.
In conclusion, the rapid development of hybrid and electric cars represents a substitute to fossil fuel powered passenger cars, thus a threat, to the Nigerian fossil fuel industry – and its "oil economy".

The development of raw talent in football (soccer) is heading in the right direction targeted at consolidating its foundation from the grassroots level.
Evidence of this is through the regional launching of the official 2019 Kumul Petroleum National Soccer League competitions right around the country at the moment.
Soccer is the most played sport in Papua New Guinea and the PNGFA's renewed strategy to consolidate its grassroots foundation and develop the game parallel with the semi-professional competition is a lot of common sense.
Over the weekend the nationwide competition's Highlands region's official calendar was kicked off by PNGFA president John Kapi Nato in Goroka.
The region with its majority of the country's population should be the focus of soccer development in all seriousness.
This is because of the availability of a seemingly endless pool of talents that can be nurtured to become good, top and professional football players in the region.
Mr Nato said it is an exciting time ahead for soccer in the country and under his leadership, the PNGFA will make football or soccer inclusive to all regions of this beautiful country and it must reach all corners of it.
That is indeed a very visionary statement which must be thoroughly supported because of its concept of inclusivity.
Inclusive because soccer must be equally developed to include all age groups and for both men and women.
The nature of the code itself naturally is totally accommodating and conducive to be developed at any level starting from grassroots right up to the exclusive, professional ad international level.
KPHL's timely financial support for the NSL in PNG could not have come at a better time because with its leadership and influence in the corporate and private sector, other serious sponsors could be persuaded to invest in the code.
Most soccer playing regions in the country see KPHL's commitment as a light at the end of the tunnel for the code they have struggled endlessly to keep alive in whatever form they could over the years.
The commitment of the soccer loyal is highly commendable because they have kept the interest alive with the most meager of resources they could find.
Persistence has certainly paid off, and now it is time for professional management to take over to run the development of the code under world's best practices.
Training in this area is completely vital and this must be done and achieved with professional qualifications.
The days of ad hoc and make-do management of soccer in the country are over and the game must be administered under international best practice standards and qualifications from now on.

by Eva Herinkova 11/19/2019 05/25/2022
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is a franchise that needs no introduction. Anyone interested in video games during the Wii craze of the 2000s will remember the first title in the series, based on the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Since then, publisher and developer SEGA has pushed out a new entry for every Olympics other than the 2018 Winter Games. The most recent edition, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, hit shelves on November 5 for Nintendo Switch. It's great to see the franchise return after four years, but not everything in it deserves a gold medal. The game still has a fun multiplayer experience, but the story mode is tedious and some of the controls are barely functional. As a result, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 reinforces the fun party game aspect of the series but unfortunately fails to properly support motion controls or single-players.
In the story mode, Bowser and Dr. Eggman attempt to rid the world of Mario and Sonic by developing a game machine called the Tokyo 64, named in honor of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and, of course, the Nintendo 64. The evil scheme is to permanently transport Mario and Sonic into the game, where the 1964 Olympics are being held. Unfortunately, Bowser and Dr. Eggman aren't exactly the smartest villains and manage to get themselves trapped in the game too. In the Tokyo 64, Bowser and Dr. Eggman face off against Mario and Sonic to win the most gold medals, hoping it will help them escape the game. Meanwhile, in contemporary Tokyo, Luigi and his friends fight with Bowser Jr. and the other remaining villains over control of the machine as they try to figure out how it works to rescue their friends.
Of course, for a party game like Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, the multiplayer content is typically a little more important to consumers than the story mode. However, if a story mode is offered, it should still be fun at its core. Unfortunately, Mario and Sonic fails to engagingly draw in interested single-players. For a game about the Olympics, the story somehow spends quite a bit of time preventing you from competing in Olympic games. In fact, a solid 75% of the story mode is reading lengthy dialogue boxes of characters arguing with each other. This was disappointing since I picked up the game to make Sonic and Waluigi row in a canoe together for gold medals, not read five-minute monologues from Bowser Jr. about how he refuses to believe in compromise.
When the game did let me play the sporting events, both in single-player and multiplayer mode, the instructions were overwhelming. At the beginning of each event, the game gives you an instruction sheet explaining how to play. However, most events have at least four sentences of instructions while the more complicated ones can hit nine or ten. This doesn't sound like a lot, but most events only last for one or two minutes and you need to remember everything to win. It gets frustrating trying to retain all the information, especially if you haven't played before. Once I had the instructions memorized, the minigames got a lot easier and were fun to play but, again, the events are short and there are a lot of steps, so memorization wasn't a quick process.
Additionally, there are three different control schemes, which makes remembering each set of instructions even more difficult. You can play with motion controls using either one joy-con or two joy-cons or you can use buttons only. Wanting to relive the glory days of the Wii, I started playing with motion controls whenever the game would let me, which was a huge mistake because the motion controls in Mario and Sonic are barely functional.
When I tried to use two joy-cons, I either had to start again with different controls or skip the event altogether if I was playing story mode. One of the worst experiences I had was playing the archery minigame. The controls are generally what you think they would be—hold the two joy-cons like a bow and arrow, aim, and fire. However, no matter where I aimed or how fast I moved the joy-cons, I could never get the reticle to do anything other than fly wildly off the target, assuming I could make it move at all. I tried every combination of movements I could think of at various speeds and absolutely nothing worked so I had to quit.
Using only one joy-con worked better but not by much. It worked fine for less complicated events like canoeing, in which you swing the controller in a downward motion to mimic an oar stroke. Unfortunately, for sports that required more intricate movements, like surfing, it was just as bad as using two. I eventually got so fed up with trying to fight the game that I stopped picking anything other than buttons only, which was the one control scheme that was guaranteed to work.
Once I figured out that buttons were the solution, the minigames were actually really fun, especially when I played with my friends. Even though it was disappointing that we couldn't compete with motion controls like the good old days of 2008, we still had fun putting Bowser on a horse as an equestrian and yelling at my TV, racing against each other as beloved childhood video game characters. While the short minigames aren't fun as a single-player, the quick pace of each event is great when there are multiple people. You can easily jump in and out without having to make a big-time commitment. Out of all the multiplayer games I have on my Switch right now, Mario and Sonic is the easiest to quickly play with my friends, even if we only have a couple of minutes together.
By far one of my favorite things about the multiplayer mode was that there was an option to randomly pick an event. This was great because even though my friends and I could fight over what to play, we didn't have to, which simplified the process. In general, there's a good number of events to choose from and I never felt like I was repeating the same minigames too often. However, the game is not packed with an enormous collection. There's enough variety to keep players interested but not so many that it feels overwhelming to look at your options. As a result, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games offers a much simpler, compact experience than something like Super Smash Bros, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for in a party game.
The cast of playable characters has quite a bit of variety as well – there's an even split of Mario and Sonic mascots and the game even includes members of the Deadly Six from Sonic Lost World and a fair number of Koopalings. I wasn't expecting some of the included characters since the roster is relatively small compared to titles like Mario Kart or Mario Party, but it was great to see non-mainstream choices for fans. Additionally, the bright, colorful, cartoony art style is reminiscent of both classic video game franchises. Nothing ever feels visually out of place and the game seamlessly blends the Mario and Sonic worlds and characters together without it feeling awkward.
Although the game definitely has its flaws, it sticks the landing as a multiplayer experience as long as you're willing to adapt to the button system. I won't pretend that Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Mario and Sonic is anywhere near as polished as other popular party games on Switch, but it is still fun to play. My friends and I genuinely had a good time together with the game, so much so that I now mention it in the same breath as Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate when people come over. That said, if you don't have a group to play with or wanted something similar to 2008 Wiimote controls, Mario and Sonic is not the game for you – the story mode lacks gameplay and the short minigames just feel sad to play alone after a while. Overall though, the franchise hasn't lost any of its original magic – if you get a group of friends together and avoid the motion controls, it's a fun game and feels just as fun and bizarre as the first one did in 2008.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is available now for Nintendo Switch.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
Rating - 6/10
TL; DR
I won't pretend that Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Mario and Sonic is anywhere near as polished as other popular party games on Switch, but it is still fun to play.
