"At the heart of the relationship between man and environment is the relationship between human beings." ~ Patriarch Bartholomew
By Andreas Euripides Christou
Andreas Euripides Christou is a student clinician who serves on the Community Energy Team of Pace Academy's Environmental Policy Clinic.
In the 2009 documentary The Green Patriarch, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, said:

To commit a crime against the natural world is a sin; for human beings to destroy the biological diversity of God's creation, for human beings to contaminate the Earth's waters, its land, its air, and its life, all of these are sins.
As Patriarch of the world's second-largest Christian Church, Bartholomew has gained an international reputation as a prominent environmentalist and humanitarian. He has used his position to lend the support of the Ecumenical Patriarchate (the "Vatican" of the Orthodox Church) to many international causes, and has received numerous awards for his leadership, among them, the Congressional Gold Medal.
From his early days in office, the Ecumenical Patriarch has made care for the environment one of his top priorities. His strategy has been "connecting people who have the power to save the environment with people who have the knowledge."
This leader of 300 million faithful has brought together religious leaders of multiple faiths, including Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian, with scientists, government officials, media representatives, environmental activists, and ordinary citizens — uniquely in a series of shipboard symposiums, such as one convened aboard a passenger ship off Greenland. These symposiums host briefings and debates utilizing the combined expertise of interests who historically have not gotten along to arrive at possible solutions.
Commenting for the documentary, Dr. Ravi Ravinda, a professor of physics and comparative religion said:
What is interesting about the Orthodox Church's environmental initiative is that, as far as I am aware, this is the only group where the initiative is being actually taken by, or at least involves, the very highest church authority.
An active supporter of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development (ICSD), Patriarch Bartholomew has worked to explore collaborative efforts between the ICSD and the Orthodox Church and participated in multiple ICSD conferences regarding ecological sustainability. He has also committed the Orthodox Church to participate in the United Planet Faith and Science Initiative, a group of ecological advocates that use science and religious leaders to promote public awareness, political will, policy, and action.
For more than a decade, Patriarch Bartholomew has held international ecological seminars every summer at the Theological School of Halki, an island near Istanbul. These seminars are sponsored by the Patriarch and Prince Philip, the founder of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC). Following the Patriarch's lead, numerous Orthodox monasteries and churches in Eastern Europe and the United States have switched to solar energy in recent years.
In 2012, reports of record melting of the earth's ice sheets and extreme droughts gave increased support to the Ecumenical Patriarch's messages about the degradation of the natural world. In an encyclical the same year, Bartholomew boldly stated that "biodiversity was not granted to humanity for its unruly control; by the same token, dominion over the earth and its environs implies rational use and enjoyment of its benefits, and not destructive acquisition of its resources out of a sense of greed."
In his tireless efforts to bring attention to both environmental rights and human obligations, Patriarch Bartholomew has repeatedly criticized over-consumption of natural resources by first world countries and the lack of justice that causes growing inequality in developing nations.
The Ecumenical Patriarch has also spoken on World Oceans Day, highlighting their ecological benefits and the fact that the world's oceans and seas are quite threatened, and outlining the massive pollution and human ignorance.
During an address to an environmental symposium at Saint Barbara, California, in 1997, Patriarch Bartholomew said:
We believe that our first task is to raise the consciousness of adults who most use the resources and gifts of the planet. Ultimately, it is for our children that we must perceive our every action in the world as having a direct effect upon the future of the environment. At the heart of the relationship between man and environment is the relationship between human beings.


If you've read this blog for any amount of time you know that we're very big on making, and keeping, a budget. These days it's a lot easier to do that because of the smart phone and the apps that come with it. Below are 3 of the best budgeting apps for both Apple's iPhone and Android smartphones. We focus on these 3 Apps because all three of them work on both types of smart phone and all three are free. All 3 will also help you to get a much better understanding of your spending habits, from daily all the way up to annual, and should help you to stay on budget and save more money. Enjoy.
SmartScan, which allows you to photograph your receipts and then categorize them with tags. Things like the name of the merchant, total amount spent and date can also be entered. It's great for someone who likes to save receipts but hates all that extra paper.
Add Expense is for people who like to manually input their receipt information.
Track Time gives users a way to track their hourly earnings on an hourly set rate.
Track Distance is excellent for salespeople or anyone else who put a lot of miles on their car for work. It lets you use the GPS in your smart phone to track your miles, which is brilliant.
If you put all of your expenses on either a credit or debit card, Check is going to be an app you really like. Using this app you can add credit card, gas, electric and even car payment bills and, when they're due, the app will let you know. Not only that but it tells you what your minimum payment is and, if you want to, you can pay it right through the app.
Tracking your credit score is also possible with Check, but it's $6.99 a month, and the My Offers tab will tell you about credit card offers available to you. Check can also send you an alert email in the event that you're nearing the 30% mark of your credit limit's total credit, which could save you from putting a dent in your credit score.
Check will also tell you, when you enter your bank account info, exactly how much you have in your account, what bills you will have to pay that week, how much you have on your credit card and even give you a pie chart to show you exactly where your money's going. If you pay everything on credit or debit, Check will really be a godsend.
Although it doesn't offer a lot of "bells and whistles" Dollarbird is still quite useful and, as a money tracking app, quite intuitive as well. It will show you exactly how much money you spent every day of any particular month using a monthly calendar format. By entering your daily expenses, you'll know exactly how much you spent and what you purchased.
Dollarbird also gives you the option to use color coding to track your expenses, and also lets you add extra categories that might not be already in the app. At the end of each month you'll be able to see the exact totals that you spent in every category that you have, giving you an excellent idea of where you tend to spend the most money. If you want to, you can even add your overall budget, and your income, and Dollarbird will give you a comprehensive graph of that month's spending.
Using any of these three excellent Apps will help you to track your expenses, one of the most important tasks for staying on your budget. If you haven't downloaded one of them yet, but you want to start saving more and spending less, now's the time.

Vick Calls Fumble In Cowboys Game 'The Worst Thing I've Ever Done'
ARLINGTON, TX—Eagles backup quarterback Michael Vick apologized to fans immediately after his team's 34-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys Saturday, saying his fumbled handoff attempt late in the first half was "absolutely the most damning and hurtful act of [his] life." "I guess I just thought I could hand the ball off to the fullback without any repercussions, but never in my life have I been so wrong. Never," a visibly contrite Vick said to the assembled reporters. "I just want to apologize to my family, friends, and most important, the fans. There are things I have done in my time on this earth that I regret, but this fumble is undeniably the worst." Eagles fans responded to Vick's statement by saying he was absolutely correct.

China sentences Japanese man to life in prison in drug case
Chen Weixiong, lawyer of Takuma Sakuragi, inset, leaves a courthouse in Guangzhou, southern China, after Sakuragi's sentencing on Friday.
(Kyodo News )
BEIJING —
A court in southern China sentenced a 76-year-old former Japanese politician to life in prison Friday for smuggling drugs hidden in shoes inside a suitcase he was trying to take to his home country.
A Malian man was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and a man from Guinea received a life sentence for "packing and delivering" the suitcase, according to the Guangzhou City First Intermediate Court, which handled the case.
Takuma Sakuragi pleaded not guilty and plans to appeal, said his Guangzhou-based lawyer, Chen Weixiong, who argued there was insufficient evidence to prove Sakuragi was knowingly carrying the drugs.
According to Chen, a Nigerian acquaintance asked Sakuragi to bring what appeared to be a suitcase full of shoes with him back to Japan. The acquaintance claimed the suitcase was intended for a designer in Tokyo, Chen said, but in fact methamphetamine had been hidden in the heels of the shoes.
Sakuragi is a former city assemblyman from central Japan's Aichi prefecture. Chinese law exempts people older than 75 from the death penalty, which is often imposed for drug-related offenses.
He was detained in 2013 when more than six pounds of methamphetamine was found in his luggage, the court said. Sakuragi planned to go to Shanghai for a connecting flight back to Japan, the court said.
The other two sentenced were identified by their Chinese names as Ali, a citizen of Mali, and Moxi from Guinea. Death sentences with two-year reprieves are almost always commuted to life in prison.
According to Chen, the Malian defendant who was sentenced to death had been spotted on camera filling the suitcase. The other defendant's fingerprints were found in the suitcase and methamphetamine was found at their residence, according to the Sakuragi's lawyer.
Japanese media reported the verdict in Sakuragi's case was delayed while authorities tracked down others involved in the case.
The court said the three defendants violated Chinese customs regulations by knowingly trying to smuggle drugs out of the country. The court added, however, that they were given relatively lighter sentences because Sakuragi had failed to go through customs with the drugs at the time of his arrest.
Under Chinese law, Sakuragi will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 15 years. His fate could be affected by developments in China-Japan relations, which have been relatively stable in recent years. Many Chinese remain deeply bitter over Japan's brutal occupation of parts of the country in the 1930s and 1940s, and the two countries have an ongoing dispute over ownership of a group of tiny uninhabited East China Sea islands.
Convicted drug traffickers are severely punished in China. Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, a Canadian national, was sentenced to death in January for involvement in an international methamphetamine-smuggling operation in the port city of Dalian.

When I shattered a 7mm drill bit the other week, Dormer Pramet got in contact and offered me a replacement. I've been following them on twitter for a while and particularly like their machining tips and Monday quiz from which I've learnt a thing or two. So I took them up on their offer.
They sent me an A100 ground bit and an A002 bit. I also bought a cheap as possible "Rolled" bit. The rolled bits are formed by forging i.e. it's heated and then squashed between some large rollers. The ground bits are formed by machining away all the parts of a metal blank that don't look like a drill.
When I looked at the rolled drill there was a slight lip on the trailing edge of each drill. This could rub on the hole and make it drill oversize or heat up the drill or work.
Another aspect that might cause misalignment is the end of the drills. My really cheap rolled drill had a malformed end, both Dormer drills had a bevelled end.
There are a few differences at the other end of the drills. The A100 and rolled drill had a regular tip and the A002 has a split point. This means that the drill is harder to sharpen but it self-centres. This makes a big difference on harder materials and convex surfaces. This also gives the drill it's "four facet" appearance which means there's a reduced surface in contact with the work.
The A002 also has a TiN coating which is a hardened surface and hence will improve the drill's lifespan. The combination of the coating and split point should also mean you can use higher feed rates. The A100 has slightly smaller facets than the rolled drill too so I'd expect less heat and more cutting from this too.
As a simple test of the three drills, I drilled a hole in a 5mm mild steel plate using a drill press. No pilot hole was used and a simple centre pop was provided for starting. The results below: left to right Rolled, A100, A002.
The rolled drill had a noticeable wobble in the drill chuck, but it managed to drill the hole without issues. No wobble from either drill and the A002 had a very smooth start.
Both Dormer bits suffered from the same issue, they snagged when breaking out the back of the metal. I repeated the experiment with a backing plate and the problem was resolved.
Looking at the retail prices, the rolled drill was £1, in bulk (10) the A100 is £2 and the A002 is £3, prices are more for singles and I've seen the A100 up to £5 each. In general does seem to be a case of you get what you pay for, but watch out for excessive retail markup.
So given this experiment, I won't be intentionally buying that cheapest drill bit again. The A002 is quite a bit more (once you multiply this by all the drills you use) but I think for specialist cases it would be worth investing in the split point geometry. So for general purpose use, I'd recommend the A100.

Q: Can we write extension method for all methods? I want to do extension method to all method for try-catch. In following You can see code block - but it doesn't work
public static class TryCatchExtention
{
    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

    public static void WithTryCatch(this MethodBase method)
    {
        try
        {
            //method.Invoke();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            log.Error("Error : {0} " + ex.Message);
            throw new ApplicationException("");
        }
    }
}

A: Declare it like that:
public static class TryCatchExtention
{
    private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

    public static void WithTryCatch(this object theClass, Action theMethod)
    {
        try
        {
            theMethod.Invoke();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            log.Error("Error : {0} " + ex.Message);
            throw new ApplicationException("");
        }
    }
}

Usage:
var yourClass = new YourClass();
//Pass here the method to be wrapped with a `try-catch` block
yourClass.WithTryCatch(this.YourMethod);}

Or with params:
yourClass.WithTryCatch(()=> this.YourMethod(params...));}

Notice:
This extension method extends any class object and only supports the Action delegate which:

Encapsulates a method that has no parameters and does not return a
  value.

You can always support more overloads for more delegates signatures.

A: Yes you can.
In your example your extension method will  be available when you're working with MethodBaseinstances, in other words, when using reflection (the metadata representation of  methods and constructors).
On the other hand, if you want that extension method to be always available you should extend the object class.
Nevertheless do not get confused about the difference between extension methods and aspect oriented programming. If what you want is to make a kind of an interceptor to all method calls then i'd suggest you to see what aspect frameworks are available.
I'm not used to that kind of programming so i can't really advise you

Unfortunately I couldn't go and visit the land of Lordi this time around, but since it's the day before the 1st semi-final and since I travelled near their neighbors, today you get the Finnish review.
How did Finland get Alyson Hannigan to sing for them? Wait, it's not Willow from Buffy? Well Finland gets the love award. The song is all about love for another person and how life would just be completely empty without them. It has a very nice melody and I can't wait to see it performed live. I almost wish she had a little diva inside of her because I feel like the song would be that much better, but divas are best left to the 90s apparently.
a life without colours, that's not who you are.

Q: changing Set values from database to string values How do i make my program read a Set value from the database one word by one word.
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class SetProblem {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Connection con = null;
    Statement st = null;
    ResultSet rs  = null;

    Set<String> nums = new HashSet<>();
    nums.add("1");
    nums.add("2");
    try
    {
        Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:src/database/set.db");
        st = con.createStatement();

        rs = st.executeQuery("select * from data;");
        Set<String> set = new TreeSet<>();
        while(rs.next())

    }
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {
        System.out.println("Driver not found");
    }
    catch(SQLException s)
    {
        System.out.println("wrong sql command");
    }
}

}
my problem is that it prints [1, 2] instead of
1
2
which i want. How can i achieve this?

A: You're inserting one row, but what you want (I think) is to insert two rows. You see  [1, 2] because it is exactly what you're inserting in the second column (you're forcing a nums.toString()).
Here the code I think you were looking for:
    //...
    Set<String> nums = new HashSet<>();
    nums.add("1");
    nums.add("2");
    try
    {
        Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:src/database/set.db");
        st = con.createStatement();
        //st.execute("create table data(word, synonyms);");
        //for(String i: nums)  //HERE YOU NEED TO CYCLE
        //   st.executeUpdate("insert into data values('figure', '"+i+"');");
        rs = st.executeQuery("select * from data;");
        Set<String> set = new TreeSet<>();
        while(rs.next())
        {
            set.add(rs.getString(2));
        }
        for(String s:set)
        {
            System.out.print(s + "");
        }
    }

Featured, Parapsychology
Project Stargate & Clairvoyance
A remote viewer is a professional clairvoyant, who uses extrasensory perception (ESP) to sense with the mind rather than with the physical senses. In the Stargate project, the American military and the CIA sought to use clairvoyance in military contexts, for example to locate military installations in foreign countries.
Project Stargate included diverse projects which, in different ways and under the auspices of various personnel, involved military-oriented clairvoyant activities, such as Sun Streak, Grill Flame, and Center Lane. These projects are often subsumed under the umbrella term 'Project Stargate,' which is the label I will use for the sake of simplicity. The first military program for remote viewing was developed by Captain Fred Holmes Atwater in 1977, and for years to come Atwater also organized the training of clairvoyant spy candidates. He describes this work in his autobiography Captain of My Ship, Master of My Soul.
The physicists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff at Stanford Research Institute, a renowned institution linked to Stanford University, developed much of the program's scientific foundation, theories and training methods. Targ and Puthoff were pioneers in the field of laser technology, and had undertaken assignments for NASA and the CIA among others. Their psychic research had begun during the early 1970s.
As Targ and Puthoff were developing the techniques for remote viewing they were assisted by the artist Ingo Swann (1933–2013), who some would consider to be an exceptionally talented psychic.
In their book Mind-Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities (1977) Targ and Puthoff explain the basic methods used to cultivate remote viewing abilities in the test subjects. The main features of the technique are quite simple: While the test subject—the remote viewer—is stationed in the laboratory, a member of the research team jumps in the car and drives to another location where there is a 'target.' This target has characteristics that are easily recognizable. It can, for instance, be
a building with a special shape, a unique natural form or anything with a distinct visual identity. When the experiment starts, the remote viewer tries to 'see'—by visualizing, acquiring images, feeling, associating, sensing, etc.—what the target looks like. The viewer then sketches the most characteristic traits of the target, say, an oval pool, a triangular tower, a meandering river, a cliff shaped like a half moon, etc. The viewer also gives an accompanying verbal description of what she/he sees, feels, senses, etc. Targ and Puthoff maintain that the majority of around 100 test subjects actually managed to develop certain remote viewing abilities within the space of a few months. However, very few acquired consistency in their results. The Stanford Research Institute remote viewing exploration became integrated in the military Stargate program during 1977–1978. It was subsequently classified with restrictions that lasted until 1995. After the research became directed toward military usage, the remote viewers would typically be recruited from among soldiers—often personnel who repeatedly had managed to survive under 'impossible' conditions. The assumption was that these individuals might have a well-developed sixth sense that had helped them to pull through against all odds. Due to a limited number of suitable candidates and qualified trainers, only a small number went through the training to become remote viewers/clairvoyant spies.
Remote viewing, given that the phenomenon is real, is an application of clairvoyance. But as
there were people present by the targets, perhaps the aforementioned episodes could just as well be seen as an application of telepathy—that staff members had accidentally acted as 'transmitters.' This is an interesting question that I think would be impossible to answer. It is quite often hard to differentiate between clairvoyance (where information is downloaded from the Mental Internet without a specific 'sender') and telepathy (where the information stems from a specific person). When using clairvoyance in a military connection one attempts to directly 'see' landscapes, buildings, things or activities of strategic importance. While using telepathy in a similar context, one would rather attempt to 'read' the thoughts and plans of, for instance, an important enemy general. Such use of telepathy has almost certainly been attempted, but within Stargate the focus was on the development and use of clairvoyance.

       might be an output parameter, which are fully supported.  There can be any
       number of parameterMap stanzas.

       IMPORTANT: Using the parameterMap stanza is usually more verbose than necessary,
       and for that reason statements can use inline parameter maps (using #property#
       tokens) within the SQL statement itself.  This makes the SQL easier to read.
       See below for more.

       NOTE: Most of the attributes are OPTIONAL, but are included here for completeness. -->

    <parameter property="id"   mode="IN" />

    <parameter property="city" mode="INOUT" />
    <!--
    <parameter property="" jdbcType="" javaType="" nullValue="" mode="IN" />
    -->
  </parameterMap>

  <!-- The remainder of this example document shows the various SQL statement
       stanzas that can be used to describe your mapped statements.  These statements
       can be complete SQL statements and can include aggregations, concatenations,
       sub-selects functions and anything else SQL can do.  They can also include
       inline parameters (e.g. #property#) and also dynamic elements for building
       different SQL statements based on the state of the parameter object.
       There can be any number of statement stanzas -->

  <!-- Notice the inline parameter maps in use by the insert statement below.
       Insert statements also have a special selectKey element in their structure
       that allows auto-generated keys to be easily retrieved. -->

    insert into MY_TABLE (MY_ID, MY_NAME, MY_CITY) values (#id#, #name#, #city#)

Making changes to documents has had a huge overhaul, and expanded to make editing documents easier. Microsoft word is widely used so, there are many companies that provide guides and offer help for you when you get stuck. I have one more question. While in Read Mode, users view documents in an electronic book-style format similar to popular e-readers. The uninstallation window will pop up and prompt the user for confirmation. Excel analyzes the entire table, detects relations between cells, and suggests a value or text.

If I comment about your slides: Save the cover page you created using the program.

Q: NodeJS Display HTML as text I have some text that includes HTML tags (example: "This is a
 tag").
How do I display that text "as is" without my nodeJS page interpreting the tag as a real "

" tag?
If I use the < and > HTML entities, the entities aren't interpreted and are displayed like this ("This is a <p> tag") which is what I don't want.

A: I'm not familiar with the specific way you're creating HTML pages in Node, but if you use a templating language such as Jade or EJS, you can turn off escaping like so:
In Jade:
p.title
  a(href='javascript:void(0)' id='#{group._id}') !{group.title}

In EJS:

  <a href="javascript:void(0)" id="<%= group._id %>"><%- group.title %>

Atlantic Jewel ready for racetrack return
Posted on September 2nd, 2013 by Red Belly Sports
Atlantic Jewel ready for racetrack returnTrainer Mark Kavanagh is unfazed by the prospect of star mare Atlantic Jewel losing her unbeaten record, in Saturday's Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield.
A leg injury has sidelined the daughter of Fastnet Rock since her win in the All Aged Stakes in April 2012, and Kavanagh's only hope is that she comes through the run unscathed.
"I believe that she's a hundred percent right," said Kavanagh.
"You never know with those sorts of injuries but I wouldn't be sending her to the races if I didn't think she was a hundred percent.
"I expect that she should run a good race and I'm hoping she pulls up sound and goes forward for the spring."
Atlantic Jewel's spring goal is the Cox Plate, so Kavanagh expects her to improve markedly of whatever she does first up.
"Right now we haven't got her totally cranked up, she's no Black Caviar sprinter horse, she's getting ready for a 2000m race.
"I've never lost sight of the big picture, and the big picture's in October."
Kavanagh is convinced the winner of seven races from as many starts can recapture her best form and become one of the headlines horses of the Spring Racing Carnival.
"This isn't a normal horse, you don't get them like that very often who knows what she's going to do?
"There's no other horses like her, she is special," said the veteran trainer.

The Oceania Australia Foundation in partnership with OSFO recognised that there was a gap in athlete preparation that was causing health issues for athletes, particularly when they were injured or retired. Athletes, having focussed on medal goals were unable to change focus and thinking and this was resulting in a rise in mental illness. The journal was created to help build resilient thinking and to enable athletes to prepare for life after sport and any other change they may face when things don't go to plan.
The vision for the journal is to ensure that every athlete has access to the tools that can build their mental fitness and equip them to be the best version of themselves and better equipped to meet life's challenges as they arise. This is not only as athletes but as people serving in their local communities.

Q: Sums and products of infinite transformations of functions Ever since I learned about $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty\frac1{x+\pi n}=\cot x$$I've wanted to know more about infinite sums and products of different functions. {Extremely laggy, takes a lot of time to load, may crash} Here are some functions I found. Let me know if you'd like to know how I found them. You may want to turn some of the graphs off to see them in all their glory.
If somebody could direct me towards a resource on this I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.


For example, consider a Frederick, Md. resident who commutes in to the District of Columbia via MARC Commuter Rail. She wants to attend a Thursday evening Washington Nationals baseball game at Nationals Park.; however, the last MARC train leaves Union Station for Frederick well before the game is scheduled to conclude. She therefore decides to pass up the game. Or consider another scenario. Two college students living in D.C. want to see their favorite band playing at Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Va., but neither of them have a car.
In both cases, this new feature would allow the users to easily connect with others that live or work near them who plan to attend the same event. Users will then be in a position to discuss setting up a ride to and/or from the event, and in the process, they may meet people with similar interests.
To use the events ride-matching feature, users must create a free account with Commuter Connections via its Web site at http://www.commuterconnections.org. After creating an account, users can edit their �Event Profile,� which allows them to select events for which they are interested in ride-matches. Events are being added regularly, and users can submit events to be included in the ride-matching database. Users can select their home or work location as their origination point, which is then shown on an interactive Google map where the closest matches are located.
Commuter Connections launched its online ride-matching system in September 2008. The system provides commuters with access to people that live and work near them and are also interested in carpooling or vanpooling.
The purpose of opening access to the Web-based service is to further help residents of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia cope with traffic congestion and fluctuating gas prices by supplying them with transportation alternatives to driving alone.
Commuter Connections is a regional network of transportation organizations providing commute services and information to area residents and employers in the Washington metropolitan region in order to reduce traffic congestion and emissions caused by single occupancy vehicles (SOV). Network members, including transportation management associations, transit operators, and county transportation providers will be working with area employers to help them encourage their employees to make the pledge to leave their car at home. The Commuter Connections Network works with hundreds of employers and provides free services to thousands of commuters in D.C., northern Virginia and Maryland.

Summary: The most recent eruption on the Canary Islands – at El Hierro in 2011 – produced spectacularly enigmatic white "floating rocks" that originated from the layers of oceanic sedimentary rock underneath the island. Despite being violently transported through the volcano, some of these rocks contain microscopic fossils of delicate single-celled marine organisms, making the survival of these fossils all the more extraordinary. This new study uses these fossil time-travellers to date the sedimentary layers beneath El Hierro and, in turn, shed new light on the long-standing puzzle about the origin of the Canary Islands.

Expenses will be paid as part of initial term when overseeing imminent re-launch and investment raise.
Looking for an entrepreneur with a startup attitude who is also an exceptional web developer to code, manage databases and coordinate existing tech teams to ensure we reach our potential in return for an equity stake and a board position. Reporting to the CEO and Board.
So, if it not too much to ask applications from Mr or Mrs "Jobs-Wozniak" would be ideal.
We have identified a massive opportunity to disrupt a sleepy and slow paper/post based prescription/procurement system within the healthcare sector, with a new and disruptive cloud based model. We already have 400+ loyal clients using our exiting software who annually invoice circa £160 million. They are an excellent seedbed for us to effect change within the target industry, and we have already transferred 150 existing customers onto the new technology.
Initially the role will involve plenty of hands on development to integrate a web and desktop system with lots of future greenfield design and development. You will also oversee an immediate re-launch and then help work towards the next investment round (in circa 6–9 months), following which there will be competitive market salary offered, plus further options. Location is not necessarily important but easy access to London would be ideal. Flexible, in terms of the candidate's time management, so long as realistic. A team player is key, someone who is comfortable working in a flat and relatively fluid structure.
The Board is realistic that change is hard to bring to industries, but, with revenue up 45% Jan 18 to Feb 19 as compared with the previous same 12 months. Whist this is a startup and thus provides an amazing (and realistic) opportunity which this role will be a key part of.
Core required skills: C#, ASP.NET or .Net Core, Web Forms or similar, HTML, SQL Server. Experience in Web API/REST, SQL, Delphi, other Database technologies would be a distinct advantage.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch to arrange an initial call/coffee, should you wish to discuss in more detail.

Blogging season is upon us (yes, it's a thing) and life has been CRAZY! I'm talking media events every night and promo shoots every day kind of crazy. It's an incredible whirlwind but sometimes when there is so much going on, it's easy to lose sight of why we (as creators) do what we do in the first place. When I learned about Happy Feat and was offered the opportunity to work alongside Atlanta Classic Cars and Concours D'Elegance 2017 in partnership with them, I jumped at the chance.
Lucy Miller founded the Happy Feat organization as a high school student. Her mission? To bring happiness, value and love to each and every one of our special needs friends and their communities through friendship, happy events and inclusion. When I heard that, everything slowed down for me.
On Thursday, 9/21, I hosted a #BloggerBenzParty with Atlanta Classic Cars, Happy Feat and some of my favorite Atlanta creators. We spent the evening laughing, taking silly pictures, and getting a VIP sneak peek at some of the amazing cars showing at the Concours on 9/30 + 10/1. I still don't know much about cars (other than that these were GORGEOUS) but I do know every person who came that night left with a heart more full than when they arrived.
"Our goal this year is to create a full weekend of involvement for not just collectors — but true car aficionados and club members — to partake in memorable interactive opportunities which will highlight classic cars of provenance that may just become future collectibles," said Harry Krix, co-chairman for the Atlanta Concours.
If you're in the market for some new wheels, make sure to stop by and see my friends at Atlanta Classic Cars and they'll be sure to give you the VIP treatment too.
I will be on site with Atlanta Classic Cars for Concours 2017 at Chateau Elan on Sunday, 10/1 – come find me and say hi! I seriously can't wait to see you all there.

Always thought Chester sounded a bit unnatural in the second verse, the weakest part of the song honestly.
The few times the song goes into generic power chords strumming it is kind of boring but other than that the song is fantastic.
One of the best songs on the album and one of their best ballads. Great chorus, great atmosphere, good instrumental performance all around, tasteful lyrics and overall a beautiful song.
The acoustic performance is almost just as great.
Would love to hear the demo version where it was all Mike.
Final Masquerade has been one of my favourites since I first heard the album. The simplicity is fine in my eyes; it has a basic structure, and some people prefer more in-depth ones, but I like the Final Masquerade. The harmonies in the choruses are nice.
The only problem I have had before with this song was that it wasn't sung soflty enough (it was like a cross between soft and screamo), but I don't mind that now. It's not nearly as bad as The Messenger in that regard.

I can't get over the whiny chorus melody. It sounds like that of a nursery song, in the worst way possible.
Along with "Until It's Gone", and possibly "Wastelands", this was among the first Linkin Park songs ever that I actively disliked.

The drum and guitar work were always the most memorable parts of this song to me, Rob especially did a great job. Hell, the instrumental in general and all the effects in it, it's damn good. I enjoy Mike's soft vocals more in the acoustic version, but like the powerful, explosive instrumental of the album version. Not to say Chester sounds bad in the album version, but I do think it's one of his weaker performances.
Well, maybe "weaker" isn't the right word, it's the "less filtered" approach they went with the album I guess. Wasn't used to it, especially after Living Things.
I don't know if I would rank it among my favorite singles of theirs, but it's a good song.

I like both version of Final Masquerade, but I do feel like the acoustic version is far superior. Chester really over-sings on the original.
The music video is one of my favorites from them.
Guys. Stop disliking LP songs. NONE OF YOU ARE TRUE LINKIN PARK FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Today, we stood on the wall, we laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns, we laughed at it all"
Concluding The Hunting Party, A Line In The Sand stands as the twelfth and final track featured on the record. Spanning over six and a half minutes, A Line In The Sand is the longest track in Linkin Park's discography, and revels in some of the most ambitious sonic, vocal, and instrumental landscapes the band has ever produced.
Falling into an ominous tempest signaled by the dying seconds of Final Masquerade, A Line In The Sand foreshadows the apocalyptic instrumentation to come with thunder billowing at the forefront while a brooding synth rises underneath. A solemn piano riff welcomes Shinoda for a haunting vision of an incoming rebellion. The co-vocalist laments in a manner directly comparable, though slower-paced, to the opening verse in Keys To The Kingdom.
The opening vocal part on A LINE IN THE SAND was written years ago, while we were making A THOUSAND SUNS #TheHuntingParty - Shinoda
The swelling ambience beckons Bourdon for a liberating drum barrage before a carnivorous guitar riff storms the soundscape. The instrumental immediately kicks into eleventh gear as another layer of guitar roars in, encompassing an aggressive stronghold on the sound.
The rising and falling electric guitar riff fades away in favour of a pulsating, subdued riff that throbs in the sonic background of the verse. Shinoda blissfully serenades with another poetic message, this time accompanied by Bennington in the second half who harmonizes in a higher tone. Bourdon holds his ground with a militaristic drum line that channels A Line In The Sand forward until the pulsating guitar riff in the distance manifests itself into a distorted wall of noise that signals Bourdon into a frenzy.
The chorus strikes without the slightest remorse, as Bennington releases a furious angst, beckoning for something lost that is rightfully his. Channeling inspiration from Guilty All The Same's rebellious sound, and Living Things' Victimized, the ferocious guitar riff emblemizes Linkin Park's past aggression.
The bridge of A Line In The Sand harkens all the way back to Hybrid Theory, as Shinoda wears the track By Myself on his sleeve for a rap melody that sounds strikingly familiar to the nu-metal titan. The instrumental is drawn back for the moment, the brooding synth returning at full strength alongside a piercing drum line that could shatter like glass under the tension. Shinoda's frustration becomes evident as the speech progresses, until finally releasing to give way for another colossal chorus.
The following breakdown envelops A Line In The Sand into a heavy-metal monolith. Driven by relentless distorted power chords, the entire sequence screams prime Metallica. The guitars swell and roar onward, thanks to some brilliant percussion that lead A Line In The Sand to its inevitable climax. The Hunting Party's final chorus leaves no rest for the wicked as Bennington's growling reaches a peak over a sea of swelling electric guitars left by the band blistering forward with a fiery instrumentation. Faint harmonization by Shinoda can be heard, until Bennington shrieks the final words, beckoning the album's cataclysmic finale.
It is here where The Hunting Party truly fires on all cylinders for a colossal conclusion. Suddenly Delson stretches his fingers one last time for a guitar solo that strikes like lightning in a bottle while Bennington ferociously screams in an aggressive charade of "give me back what's mine". His screams feel desperate as he pleads for a justice that will never come. Bourdon hammers the drums, delivering a never-ending blistering backbone, as Delson's solo accelerates into a cascading wall of triplets. Finally, with one last howl, A Line In The Sand falls back into the same foreboding, dreamy state of the introduction, as Shinoda hauntingly repeats the track's opening words.
Lyrically, A Line In The Sand can be most easily interpreted as a song about conflict, rebellion, and anarchy. Some form of higher power's control falters, referenced by "and when they told us to go", and the ensuing conflict is a desperate plea for freedom, as referenced by, well literally every other lyric in the song.
Comparisons have been made between the lead guitar riff found on Victimized and the one found on A Line In The Sand. Some fans can also hear glimpses of Guilty All The Same lost in translation. Shinoda has gone on record during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), stating that while it was never intentional, Victimized was a pseudo-precursor to the sound discovered in The Hunting Party, so there was clearly a form of inspiration.
A Line In The Sand was destined to be played live. After countless months of speculation and bewildering hype for the track to be played, A Line In The Sand debuted on May 9th, 2015. In order to play the behemoth live, the band slowed the tempo from 200 BPM to 190 BPM. Shinoda also included a short but atmospheric keyboard intro to the track. The song remained a staple on the setlist for the remainder of the touring cycle.

A Line In The Sand is for me one of the best songs the band has ever written (lyrical & instrumental wise). The way the song started, dark and silence and turn into a agressive in your face song is amazing. Shinoda did a great job here with the speaking/singing, also the rapping isnt as good as the speaking/singing stuff imo. Rob definitely kills it on the track, it is fucking great. And Brad did also a fantastic job, i fucking love the "solo" part. And Chester, his voice is so raw and aggresive, i just love it. I also like the lyrical story of the song. All in all one of the top 3 songs for me of The Hunting Party (next to GATS and Rebellion).
Live the song is fucking great, sadly there wasnt much action in the pit at the show i attended. But it was fantastic, it was incredible. Hope they will keep it in the set for the next tour.

The first time I heard this song I thought it was pretty cool. I found Chester's vocals a little off-putting, he sounds like they recorded this a hundred times before getting this take at some parts, and I wasn't really digging that aesthetic when I first heard it.
Eventually, I came to really love the track for a while. It was one of my top listened to tracks for a good month or so, as I really began to appreciate the instrumentation (drums mostly), and the rough nature of Chester's vocals. The give me back what's mine screams are some of his best I think, and super fun to sing along to. I also really liked the solo for a while. I say all this in past tense because now the track feels more so-so to me. I think it's still pretty great, and I like how much variety is in it. I think that it could somehow be a little stronger though. I find the first two verses (the part where Mike and Chester harmonize over the intro melody, and Mike's rap) to be a bit dull. I would rather have had a faster section that didn't take away so much from the intensity of the track. I think it's a really comparable song to GATS, and GATS' verses are just so much better than these imo. Overall I love the song, I just think maybe it's a little too long, or that it jumps around as far as energy too much. The rap verse really just feels like it was stitched in, the same Three Band Terror does at the end of UIB.
The breakdown is incredible though. I really wish I had the chance to see that part live. I also think this is a great ending track to THP, the order of the album is really strong and this is mostly what makes it seems that way.
Next, songs from MALL?
Captain-EO, Nov 7, 2016
Took me a while to warm up to A Line in the Sand but I do appreciate it now, especially Rob's drumming. It's a song that leaves me fairly satisfied when it is complete. I love the dynamic of the intro with the synth contrasted with the heavier parts of the song.
Gibs, Nov 7, 2016
This song blows.
I've had a lot going on in my life lately and I didn't get the chance to read through all the posts and comment, but you can be sure I will read the ones I haven't eventually.
As for ALITS, I don't really care for it. It tries so hard to be epic but it ends up just messy.
Gibs likes this.
I like this song, but it's far from epic. It's just a very long song with the typical structure with added singing intro and outro.
I mostly end up stopping THP after "Drawbar". To me, Mark The Graves is more than a fitting ending to that album, and Drawbar is like this cool little epilogue you get after it's done. Two final songs are meh.
Alexrednex, Nov 7, 2016
In theory(here I go again), I love this song.
However, the execution of some of its components are not always on point. I personally love the intro/outro, and the first few verses are pretty good, but the chorus falls flat, and the bridge lacks a bit of impact.
The culmination of the solo and the screams are awesome, but the chorus is such a buzzkill.
One thing I will give Linkin Park, is that ALITS really feels like a proper closer to the album. A slowly building manifestation of the album as a whole.
None of that Powerless, Numb, Pushing Me Away, weak ass shit.

That's crazy talk! Powerless is perfect closer to LT. And it's epic compared to other songs on that album.

A: I solved my problem.
In the "reblogPost" value necessary to transmit blog url logged in user, not the blog url, reblogged we want to do.
For example, if we want to do reblogged post of "test" user, we must not pass "test.tumblr.com". We must pass "loggedUser.tumblr.com".
It can be obtained using the method userInfo.
For example:
NSString* baseHostname;
[[TMAPIClient sharedInstance] userInfo: ^(id result, NSError* error) {

         NSString * baseHostname = [result[@"user"][@"blogs"][0][@"url"] // first blog
                                   stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"http:" withString:@""];
         baseHostname = [baseHostname stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@""];

Patented spray line marking machine with integrated mixer and plastic hand pump for generating pressure.
Fill the marking paint and the water to the recommended mix in the container and seal it shut. Since the hand pump is equipped with a mixer, by operating the hand pump the paint will be mixed inside the container. At the same time, you will be generating the pressure. Once you have finished marking, the paint can be left in the container; there is no need to empty the container. However, you must ensure that the container is sealed and air tight. In order to make starting up the machine easier, ensure that the hose and head are cleaned with water.
The required spray pressure of approx. 4 bar for marking is created using the hand pump. Generate the pressure in the container and away you go.
The "Stadion" spray line marking set includes one container of biodegradable marking paint. The special paint concentrate is water-soluble, harmless to humans, animals, plants and organic matter. For marking a sports pitch you will require approx. 4-6 litres of paint. The marking will be visible for up to 4 weeks. Use only the Sport-Thieme "Extra White" line marking paint ̶ for the good of the environment!

Hoboken Rolling Out New Fines for E-Scooter Riders Who Break the Rules
Corey W. McDonald, The Jersey Journal, June 5, 2019
With the legalization of e-scooters in New Jersey comes challenges for cities such as Hoboken who choose to allow for this alternative mode of transportation. Hoboken currently has 300 electric scooters in operation with over 21,000 rides reported in their introductory week alone. On June 5, following a wave of complaints on scooter violations, the City Council of Hoboken introduced an ordinance establishing rules for e-scooter use. The city will fine riders who break the rules, and after the fourth offense will suspend these riders from using any city-sponsored scooter.

Station Square (Forest Hills) by Rags80 is in the public domain
This Is the Prettiest Block in New York, and It's Just Been Perfectly Restored: Station Square tells a story of a neighborhood.
By Justin Davidson, New York Magazine, June 3, 2019
Station Square, a planned plaza in Forest Hills, New York, has just reopened to pedestrians after being closed off for years. The train station plaza opened back in 1912 and was developed purposely to be a serene place where Midtown commuters could unwind after their hectic work days in the ever bustling Manhattan. Although the Square is aesthetically pleasing, it is much more than visually attractive; Station Square highlights how TOD-like projects helped to modernize New York.

Michy Batshuayi, the summer-signed striker who has waited patiently for action this season, rose from the substitutes' bench to write his name in Chelsea history by scoring the goal which won our sixth league championship, the fifth in the Premier League era.
It was the visitors from London who had the bulk of the attacking play at the Hawthorns but as we knew we would, we came up against a side strong in organisation and with plenty of bodies back. Victor Moses forced the best save of the night early in the second half, shortly before Albion had their most dangerous minutes. Thibaut Courtois also had to make a good save very early in the game but then the pressure began at the other end of the pitch and the Baggies eventually cracked.
We win the title with two games to spare, meaning it is party time at the Stamford Bridge on Monday and then next Sunday, before the quest to win the Double at Wembley at the end of the month.
Despite his return to availability after an injury which forced him to miss one match, N'Golo Kante began this game on the bench alongside Batshuayi and co. Cesc Fabregas unsurprisingly retained his place following his inspirational performance against Middlesbrough last Monday, so the team was unchanged for a game in which plenty of guile was likely to be needed to find the goal required.
The �?Antonio, Antonio' song was making itself heard over the powerful PA well before kick-off with a version of The Liquidator following just prior to the start, well appreciated by both sets of supporters. And then we were off!
Courtois had no time at all to settle before he was called upon to keep out a Salomon Rondon header, the big striker having got to the ball in front of David Luiz.
Pedro had a difficult half-chance early on as a long pass dropped over his shoulder but he could not make the correct contact. Diego Costa brought a ball down in the box on the half-turn but his shot was blocked at source. Pedro then blazed over.
On 10 minutes came the best move yet – Cesar Azpilicueta accurate in threading a pass through to Diego Costa who turned it on to Eden Hazard before the Belgian's ball was blocked. Following that initial scare in the opening minute, it was the Blues, in black and yellow today, making the running.
We could however have been caught on the break from our own corner had James McClean not played a pass behind Rondon's run.
With 15 minutes played, a planned Chelsea free-kick routine looked to be paying dividends but a touch off a Baggies player diverted Pedro's bottom-corner-bound shot wide.
Before long we were awarded another free-kick near the Albion area for a foul on Moses that earned McClean a yellow card. That set-piece fell Cahill's way at the far post for another shot blocked - in keeping with the theme of the first half.
A couple of challenges on Hazard midway through the half, one inside the box and one outside, raised eyebrows. The second tackle, by Allan Nyom, was painful for our no.10's ankle but thankfully he was soon back running at the Baggies backline.
McClean, who was already on that booking, similarly blocked off Moses for another free-kick out on our right but although Fabregas's delivery was nodded around the box, no chance on goal presented itself. Instead Fabregas tried an open-play shot across the turf from 20 yards out which went close. There were 32 minutes on the clock.
Sam Field was the second Baggies player booked for taking down Pedro from the rear after the Spaniard had slipped away from the experienced Darren Fletcher quite superbly. Pedro was back up and looking to add to his portfolio of outstanding long-range goals when he whipped a shot wide.
Diego Costa did the same albeit from much closer in after his sharp movement had earned some rare space.
There was an equally rare piece of first-half defending needed by the Blues on the verge of the interval; David Luiz quick off the mark to get back and cut out McClean's centre. The first-half had ended how it started, with Tony Pulis's side attacking our goal, but Conte's men had clearly been the better side. It was just a question of whether, as we eventually managed at the Bridge back in December, we could break our opponents down in the second period.
Moses almost did with 46 minutes on the clock, with a snap-shot that required a full-length dive from Ben Foster to keep it out. Diego Costa, with a shot on the fall, also worked the keeper.
Fabregas soon struck a shot that drifted away from the goal but that had come after another sharp Chelsea move had broken down. Conte's men were shifting up a gear.
The Baggies were a little fortunate not to turn a Hazard cross into their own net after a Fabregas pass had set the alarm bells ringing. Then Moses thundered a shot straight at Foster.
The home fans had for a long time been irate when decisions were given Chelsea's way, but there were two fouls on Hazard in quick succession. Unfortunately, we did not make much of the free-kicks. Time was beginning to ebb away.
The after-effects of a collision with Diego Costa forced off Gareth McAuley which meant West Brom had used all their subs with only just over an hour played. Conte had yet to turn to his bench, but he would soon do so to great effect.
On 70 minutes came one of the games big moments when Rondon escaped David Luiz and had a run on goal, but first Cahill and then Azpilicueta got back at him and crowded the striker out. Great defending!
Marc Wilson, only just on, was cautioned for halting a Moses counter-attack but then it opened up again for Albion and there were big sighs of Chelsea relief when Nacer Chadli shot wide.
Willian and Michy Batshuayi were introduced for Hazard and Pedro with 15 minutes remaining and it was the latter who was the man in the right place just when many Chelsea followers in the stadium must have begun to think it was not going to happen tonight.
The golden goal emanated from sustained Chelsea pressure with Alonso heading back towards Cahill. From outside the area, the skipper went for glory but mishit his shot. Azpilicueta, who was enjoying a great game, had the presence of mind to square the ball back into the six-yard box. Batshuayi struck, and Foster's block was not enough to keep it out. It was at the end housing the Chelsea fans too. The celebrations began!
