Home Minerals Halide Halite
Culinary rock salt is actually halite. Its name is derived from the Greek word hals, which means "salt." Most halite is colorless, white, gray, orange, or brown, but it can also be bright blue or purple. The orange color comes from inclusions of hematite, while the blue and purple colors indicate defects in the crystal structure. Halite is commonly found in massive and bedded aggregates as rock salt. It also occurs in coarse, crystalline masses or in granular and compact forms. Halite crystals are usually cubic. Sometimes, halite may form "hopper" crystals in which the outer edges of the cube faces have grown more rapidly than their centers, leaving cavernous faces. It is widespread in saline evaporite deposits.

Halite occurs in significant beds of sedimentary evaporite minerals that result from the drying up of enclosed lakes, playas, and seas. Salt beds can be masses of meters thick and underlie wide regions. In the United States and Canada significant underground beds amplify from the Appalachian basin of western New York through components of Ontario and underneath a lot of the Michigan Basin. Other deposits are in Ohio, Kansas, New Mexico, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. The Khewra salt mine is a huge deposit of halite near Islamabad, Pakistan. In the United Kingdom there are three mines; the most important of these is at Winsford in Cheshire generating on common one million tonnes consistent with year.Salt domes are vertical diapirs or pipe-like loads of salt that have been essentially "squeezed up" from underlying salt beds by means of mobilization because of the burden of overlying rock. Salt domes incorporate anhydrite, gypsum, and local sulfur, in addition to halite and sylvite. They are common alongside the Gulf coasts of Texas and Louisiana and are frequently associated with petroleum deposits. Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Romania and Iran also have salt domes. Salt glaciers exist in arid Iran in which the salt has broken via the floor at high elevation and flows downhill. In all of those cases, halite is stated to be behaving in the manner of a rheid.
Uses Area
It is used as a sweetener in meals.
Salt water is lower than the freezing point of pure water. Therefore it causes the melt to put salt or salt water on the ice.
Used to harden various foods such as bacon and fish.
Of worldwide occurrence. Well-studied deposits include:
in Austria, around Hallstadt, Salzburg, and Hall, near Innsbruck, Tirol. From Bex, Vaud, Switzerland.
In Germany, from Stassfurt-Leopoldshall, 34 km south of Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt.
Deposits with large crystals at Wieliczka (Galicia) and Bochnia, Poland. At Girgenti and Racalmuto, Sicily, Italy.
In the Salt Range, Punjab, India.
In the USA, in the Michigan Basin, underlying Ohio, Michigan, and New York; as numerous salt domes along the Gulf Coast; and in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico; large crystals at the Potash Corporation of America mine, Carlsbad potash district, Eddy Co., New Mexico

Commentary learned of the following late last week. It is interesting in that the GOP likes to tout so called ballot integrity and the following happened in their own front yard. I have been told that they were alerted to the shenanigans and they did nothing – nada – zilch. I was told that the fake names were straight off of voter lists in street and alphabetical order. Now that's real smart.
Props go to my pal Judge Risner and his sleuths. Here is the full Chron story that is must read if you like your campaigns honest:
The Harris County Attorney's Office says it is reviewing documents filed by all local judicial candidates, Republican and Democrat, after learning that a candidate for justice of the peace may have used forged signatures in her application to get on the March 4 GOP primary ballot.
The allegation first was raised by longtime Precinct 2 Place 2 Justice of the Peace George Risner, who is suing the Harris County Republican Party, claiming it violated state election law by placing candidate Leonila Olivares-Salazar on its party ballot even after being told her application included hundreds of falsified petition signatures.
A hearing in state district court has been set for Thursday.
Risner's petition asks that Olivares-Salazar, his presumed general election challenger, be removed from the ballot, and includes sworn affidavits from several people she hired to gather signatures saying they did not obtain most of the signatures themselves or witness or speak to the voters whose names are on the petitions.
Olivares-Salazar "has publicly admitted to hiring a company to collect the required number of valid signatures (250) to qualify her for the ballot," the petition states. "There were at least four circulators that gathered signatures for Olivares-Salazar who were employed by the company Olivares-Salazar hired, who falsified signatures on Olivares-Salazar's petitions."
Risner, a Democrat first elected to his post in 1987, and Olivares-Salazar are running unopposed in their parties' respective primaries, meaning they would face each other in the November general election.
Risner said he was suspicious about the validity of the 456 signatures his opponent submitted after some of his "friends and campaign workers looked them over," and decided to go door-to-door to see whether people whose names appeared on the petitions actually had signed them.
"Ninety-nine point nine percent of them told me no," he said. The petition claims 380 signatures were falsified.
'Took no action'
Risner said his lawyer contacted Olivares-Salazar and Harris County Republican Party Chairman Jared Woodfill about the issue shortly after the Dec. 9 filing deadline, but "they took no action."
"This could have been handled from the start," he said.
Woodfill said he received no complaint from Risner in the five days after the filing deadline the party has to review applications, saying that "In this particular case, there was no formal challenge that was made."
He said it will be up to a judge to determine whether the Olivares-Salazar's name should be pulled from the ballot.
In response to a request for comment, Olivarez-Salazar stated in an email, "There is an investigation in process for which I have fully and completely cooperated." She said she promised her lawyers she would not comment further until the matter was resolved.
Terry O'Rourke, special assistant to County Attorney Vince Ryan, said one of the sworn affidavits included in Risner's petition indicates that more than one judicial candidate may have hired the same company to collect signatures. That prompted the office last week to begin looking into all judicial candidate applications. He said the Harris County District Attorney's public integrity unit also is investigating, but a spokesman for that office would not confirm or deny that.
"It's a serious issue and we simply have to look at it," O'Rourke said.
The investigation could wrap up by the end of next week.
'Found nothing'
Harris County Democratic Party Chair Lane Lewis said he reviewed all his party's petitions after learning of Risner's allegations and "found nothing."
"We didn't believe we would find anything because we check ours on the front end as they come in, to the best of our ability," Lewis said, noting that the party has tried unsuccessfully to obtain original copies of Olivares-Salazar's petitions. He said the county attorney is reviewing the petitions of Democratic judicial candidates next week.
Both Woodfill and Lewis said it is not uncommon for judicial candidates to hire third parties to gather petition signatures.
Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart, the overseer of local elections, said he hopes that if a judge decides Olivares-Salazar should be removed from the ballot, that it will be the November ballot rather than the March primary. He said the office already has printed and mailed about 12,000 absentee ballots for the spring primary election, and that a do-over would be costly.
"If you're going to go down this path, you should have done it weeks ago," Stanart said. "It would be very disruptive for us at this point in time."
The 'Stros Skipper had a brief MLB playing career that lasted 89 games over a three year period from 1999 – 2001. How many different team uniforms did he wear?
There is a lot of chatter out there about the Texans' QB position. One thing is for sure, the new QB should not wear the numero 8. In fact, the team should trash that numero for a while.
Bo Porter of course played for the Cubbies, A's, and Rangers.
The team did some more flag planting yesterday.

Heart function in morbidly obese patients returns to normal after bariatric surgery but not after lifestyle intervention, according to research 'Effect of weight loss on subclinical myocardial injury: A clinical trial comparing gastric bypass surgery and intensive lifestyle intervention ', published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The results suggest that bariatric surgery may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in morbidly obese patients. Approximately one in five western Europeans is obese, while around 2 to 3% are morbidly obese.
Patients who undergo a lifestyle intervention programme following bariatric surgery have a greater percentage weight loss (%WL) outcomes were compared with a historical matched control group, as well as improved functional capacity, increased strenuous intensity exercise, increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, reduced consumption of ready meals, and improved "Change in Health" in quality of life (QoL) domain, according to a study by researchers from London, UK.
Bariatric or metabolic surgery should be performed as a mass treatment as a means of treating millions of patients with diabetes and other metabolic disease, according to eminent bariatric surgeon, Professor Michel Gagner, Professor of surgery, Herbert Wertheim School of Medicine, FIU Senior consultant, Hôpital du Sacre Coeur, Montreal.
Two-year outcomes from the Diabetes Surgery Study have found that although the addition of gastric bypass to lifestyle and medical management in patients with type 2 diabetes improved diabetes control, adverse events and nutritional deficiencies were more frequent in the surgical group of patients.
Overweight individuals with diabetes who lose weight by dieting and increasing their physical activity can reduce their health care costs by an average of more than US$500 per year, according to a study titled 'Impact of an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention on Use and Cost of Medical Services Among Overweight and Obese Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: The Action for Health in Diabetes,' published in the journal Diabetes Care.
Patients with impaired glucose tolerance randomised to lifestyle interventions had significantly reduced death rates from cardiovascular disease and all-causes compared to those patients randomised to the control arm, the results from a Chinese study have reported.
The eight year outcomes from the Look AHEAD study, the largest US weight-loss study, has reported that intensive lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise alone) can result in long-term weight loss. The findings were published in Obesity, the official journal of The Obesity Society.
Four-year results from the Look AHEAD trial have shown that even intensive lifestyle intervention has only modest and temporary success in combating type 2 diabetes in overweight and obese individuals, with only 11.5% of diabetic individuals experiencing either a partial or complete remission of their symptoms at 12 months, dropping to 7.3% at four years.

Detectives investigating the murder of a father outside a school in Belfast have linked the killing to the INLA.
Jim Donegan (43) was shot dead as he waited to collect his 13-year-old son from St Mary's Christian Brothers Grammar School in west Belfast in December.
Police believe the lone gunman previously tried to murder Mr Donegan and have released CCTV footage showing the man waiting outside the school five days earlier.
The CCTV images have been broadcast on the BBC's Crimewatch Roadshow Live programme.
Mr Donegan was gunned down in front of schoolchildren and parents on Tuesday December 4.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Montgomery said: "Jim was a husband, a brother, a father to two sons and a stepfather, and over three months have passed since his cold-blooded murder.
"Jim's family deserve to have answers and this dangerous gunman needs to be removed from our streets but I need the public's help to do this.
"I am releasing new CCTV footage which I believe shows the gunman, five days before Jim's death, waiting for him to arrive to collect his son with hundreds of innocent children nearby."
The detective said Mr Donegan was not collecting his son that day but believes he would have been murdered if he had been.
The PSNI released an image last month of what the suspected gunman may look like.
Mr Montgomery said: "My investigation into the callous execution of Mr Donegan continues to progress and a republican element is a main line of inquiry, specifically the INLA, but I really need the public's help to remove this dangerous man from our streets.
"Do you recognise the man in the CCTV footage? He may be late thirties to early forties, approximately 5ft 8in and may walk with a limp or may have an existing medical condition that impacts on his walking style.
"This is someone who thought it was acceptable to put the lives of countless children at risk and murder Jim – please help me put him before the courts."
He added: "On the day of Jim's murder, I believe the gunman emerged from Clonelly Avenue on to Glen Road around 3.10pm.
"He then walked past numerous children at around 3.15pm, calmly activated the pedestrian crossing, crossed the road and walked up Jim's car, firing his weapon eight times before fleeing the scene.
"He was wearing a high-vis hip-length yellow jacket with 'security' on the back, dark bottoms with a grey-coloured hat or hood and carrying a dark bag over his shoulder, which I believe contained the gun.
"I want to hear from you if you were in the area at the time. Did you see the gunman?
"Did he go into a house afterwards or get into a waiting car? Do you have any dashcam footage?
"Perhaps you have heard anyone talking about the killing? Please come forward with any information that you have.
"The family have been left devastated and hundreds of children and families who witnessed the murder have also been left traumatised.
"The callous actions of the gunman will have catastrophic psychological effects on them all."

Celtic refuse Wigan loan offer for Scott McDonald
Sean O'Shea
Glasgow Celtic has refused an offer from Wigan athletic to take Scott McDonald on loan for the rest of the season.
Just as well, because he is one of the few players able to score for the Bhoys, and with them trailing Rangers by a whopping seven points, they need all the goal poachers they have.
"We did make an approach to Celtic to sign Scott McDonald but it was turned down," Wigan's Spanish manager Roberto Martinez told the Scottish Daily Express. "We had wanted Scott on loan with a view to paying the full transfer in the summer.
"I think if they are to sell Scott McDonald then they will want any transfer fee up front but we are simply not in a position to do that.
"I tried to get him in the last window but that was also turned down."
The only speculation of any striker coming in was Stoke misfit Paul Kitson talking up how he would love to play for the Hoops.
No offense Paul, but are you having a laugh? Celtic need an in form striker who can haul them back into the title race, not a journeyman who is struggling to find a home and some consistent form.
Mowbray is bridled by a serious lack of funds, but the business he does in this transfer window, and the shrewdness and Harry Redknapp-like ability he needs to implement to do some serous wheeling and dealing could have a crucial effect on his team hauling back their biggest rivals in the title race, and untimely make or break his job

New Report Finds American Auto Fleet Shrinking
By Elana Schor
Could the nation be turning away from its decades-old yen for auto ownership? Americans got rid of more cars than they retained in 2009, reversing a trend that saw total U.S. vehicles exceed the number of drivers more than 35 years ago, according to a report released today by the Earth Policy Institute (EPI).
(Chart: EPI)
Using data from the Federal Highway Administration and the consulting firm Polk & Co., EPI projected that the U.S. auto fleet fell to 246 million last year, a drop of nearly 2 percent.
EPI president Lester Brown, the report's author, attributed the decline to several factors, including urban transit expansion and market saturation. Brown wrote:
The car promised mobility, and in a
largely rural United States it delivered. But with four out of five
Americans now living in cities, the growth in urban car numbers at some
point provides just the opposite: immobility.
With 209 million U.S. drivers on the road, the nation still owns an average of more than 1 vehicle per eligible user. If the 2009 trend continues, according to today's report, the total number of American cars could fall to 225 million by 2020, similar to levels seen about 10 years ago.
EPI's prediction that the nation is entering a new period of declining car purchases tracks with data pointing to American auto sales in the 11.5 million range for 2010 — a high number, to be sure, but distinctly lower than the 17 million-plus in sales notched during the SUV's heyday in the early 2000s.
How much of a role did the Obama administration's "cash for clunkers" program play in the high rates of auto scrappage last year? The taxpayer-funded rebates persuaded car owners to get rid of 700,000 vehicles, less than one-quarter of the 4 million relinquished vehicles estimated by EPI.

"Americans got rid of more cars than they purchased in 2009"
"American auto sales in the 11.5 million range for 2010"
"4 million relinquished vehicles estimated by EPI"
So the other X million cars weren't relinquished … what happened to them?
gui w. says:
That's a really good observation, the numbers don't seem to add up. If Americans are still buying more cars than they "relinquish" then how do we end up with less cars on the road?

Dave – Indeed, "purchased" is the wrong word, and the post has been updated to read "retained." The 11.5m is an anticipated single-year sales figure, while EPI's report examines all cars on the road, new and old. The projection found the total number of vehicles dropping in 2009 from 250m to 246m. Thanks!
America's Traffic Death Toll Is a National Disgrace
More than 40,000 Americans were killed in traffic last year, according to new estimates from the National Safety Council, the worst toll in a decade. The U.S. transportation system claims far more lives each year than peer countries. If America achieved the same fatality rate as the UK, more than 30,000 lives would be saved each year.

Dockless Bike-Share Is Leading a Stunning Cycling Comeback in China

Cycling rates have doubled in Chinese cities since the advent of dockless bike-share systems.


After much drama and toil, the story of Teddy, Loris, and Emma comes to a conclusion this week! Last time, they discovered the truth of Emma's connection to the Vanisher. Today, they venture into an otherspace that looks suspiciously like a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry. There, they must defeat a monster that even the most powerful magician in Pacific City was helpless against. Will they succeed? Listen and find out!
Just here to say that I really enjoyed this campaign.
Thanks so much! We really enjoyed recording it.
A really fun campaign to listen to and a great illustration of how the system works! I really hope you do more of these. Also, I'm not sure how much editing you did, but even though things were being figured out in session (especially in the character creation episodes), there aren't any points where things dragged (the banter and commentary were enough to hold up those more technical and logistical moments in the game).
This system seemed like it had some interesting ideas that were being made overly complicated. Forcing a character to change as the result of a failed roll is tricky. In principle it can be cool to have a character change as a response to their experiences. However, if it happens too easily (as seemed to be in the case of this system) it can distort the character from who the player feels they should be.
Also, I still can't believe the tone in the book. This is the ultimate hipster game system. It is too cool for any of its actual players. The creator seems to be obsessed with how cool and original he thinks he is. So strange.
Thanks Fay, glad to hear you enjoyed it! I did cut out some long pauses as we looked up a rule here in there, but otherwise not a huge amount. I'm glad I achieved my goal! For my own part, I understand the idea of giving the stress meters mechanical effects so they're more than just flavor, but I don't think tying that to your core abilities was the right move. I'm trying a different version in my own paranormal investigation game, so we'll see how that goes. And yes, this book is really convinced of it's own coolness. So convinced.
Oh, and we're definitely planning another one. It might take a while, but our next target is Scum and Villainy.


One of the growbed that was full of mint redo and clean all the roots out, this growbed going to be the next area where Strawberry going to be in.
All the mint were cut last week, today the roots are removed. If not removed they will decay and cause the system to swing towards acidic, it could be a good thing for Strawberry but I feel it's best to start from a known baseline.
The single parent plant from this ornamental set is removed and potted, I takes my chances by cutting the runners from the parent and letting them grow on their own. I will know tomorrow how many survive being independent. Six in all, these are all new plants.
Potted the parent plant in 6 inch net pot and it will be replanted into a bigger growbed.
I scoop some LECA along with the roots so that it will experience less of a shock, topping up with LECA from matured growbed.
Growbed is flooded by using a taller extender, this makes it easier for getting out the roots and level the LECA.
This parent plant placed in a central position of this growbed so that it can start to colonized this entire growbed with runners. I'm giving it ample space to reproduce.
The plant is raised from LECA level to give it good drainage, I'll monitor it closely this next couple of days to ensure it survive the replanting. I try not to give any shade and let it expose to full sun and see what happen.
So far this trial of planting Strawberry looks promising, until it can produce fruit only then we'll know whether it is successful or not.


The Robert Sorby Side End Swivel Tip is designed to create parallel sides on boxes and vases. This flexible cutter will also create flat surfaces on the bottom of pieces as well as crisp corners.
Sharpening: Use a diamond file or honing stone flat across the top face. To gain best results and increase the longevity of the cutter this simple procedure should be done little and often.


Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that is covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on the street or highways. Ordinance 323-10B.
The above parking prohibitions will remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
All vehicle owners are requested to comply with Ordinance 323-10B. This will permit Lacey Township Public Works to plow the roads for the residents. Summonses will be issued !!!

9th Circuit Protects Right of DREAMers to Get Licenses in Arizona
Posted By María Inés Taracena on Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 6:19 PM
A panel of three judges in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today unanimously agreed that young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, also known as DREAMers, absolutely have the right to issue driver's licenses in Arizona, according to the National Immigration Law Center.
The judges sided with the plaintiffs' argument that President Barack Obama's 2012 relief program deferred action for childhood arrivals does grant DREAMers authorized presence in the country under the law. The state has for years said that DACA does not grant lawful presence in the U.S.
In July of last year, the state and immigration rights advocates, such as the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, headed back to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for a hearing against a district court judge's injunction that allowed DREAMers to get licenses starting in December 2014.
After years in and out of court, U.S. District Judge David Campbell issued that month a preliminary injunction that immediately allowed roughly 22,000 DREAMers to get licenses. The following month he made his decision permanent: Arizona cannot deny DREAMers driver's licenses.
Since 2012, federal courts continuously ruled against former governor Jan Brewer's executive action, which she announced the same day the DACA program went into effect. The 9th Circuit has even said in the past that the policy is likely unconstitutional.
In Dec. 17, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected a last-minute appeal by the state, and that's when Campbell issued a preliminary injunction. Really, it made no sense to treat them differently from any other non-citizen, such as green card holders. DREAMers began getting licenses five days later.
In February 2015, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich appealed to the 9th Circuit.
Nicholas Espíritu, an attorney with the National Immigration Law Center, which is one of the plaintiffs in the case, told the Weekly at the time that they wanted the court to know that Arizona's rationale against allowing DREAMers access to licenses had not changed. "They continue to think that they have the right to discriminate against DACA recipients, and continue to justify their desire to discriminate. The Supreme Court has said that Arizona can't discriminate against DREAMers, and we feel the 9th Circuit will continue to hold that."
About today's decision, the center says the state could take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. If not, this pretty much settles this years-long battle.

Rare, mainly a moth of the Fens and Broads of East Anglia but since 1989 it has only been recorded at one of these sites (in 2010). There have been a few other well scatttered, single records from elsewhere in England (Somerset in 1936, Yorkshire in 1950 and Dorset in 2001), the latter at light as a possible vagrant.
In Europe reported on Iris spp., mainly Iris pseudacaros the larva being present during May to early June. See Prins, W. De (2005): Monochroa divisella, a new species for the Belgian fauna (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). — Phegea 33 (1): 37-40.
In De Prins 2005 it is stated, "The caterpillar of M. divisella makes a deep blotch mine in the leaves of Iris sp., mainly Iris pseudacorus, and stays in the mine until it is full-fed (Hering 1957: 567). It prefers fenland and similar damp biotopes (Bland et al. 2002: 93). Doets (1949) wrote that he found the mines only on plants growing under Salix trees (Ellis 2003). This seems to be case in the Belgian locality as well (M. Jacobs, pers. comm.)."
Larva: unknown in the British Isles. In Europe the larva makes a full depth blotch mine on Iris in May and early June.
One of the largest Monochroa spp. (wingspan 15-16mm) with two prominent blackish spots on each wing and rather contrasting lighter and darker buff upper third (lighter) and lower two thirds (darker) to the forewings.
Reported as being on the wing in June and July but there are very few records with full dates on the Scheme database.

One of the Nation's Oldest Food Banks Adds Culinary Education to its Offerings
After 40 years of fighting hunger, Foodlink has partnered with grocery retailer Wegmans on a pioneering chef-training program for the underemployed.
By Donna Jackel
Business, Food Justice, Food Waste, Nutrition
Posted on: January 24, 2019 | Last updated: January 24, 2019 | 2 Comments
Jehmel Alexander stands in a spotless, state-of-the-art kitchen mixing a huge bowl of freshly chopped broccoli, peas, and carrots with rice and beef. The meal will be one of 5,000 that Foodlink, one of the nation's oldest food banks, prepares for children in Rochester, New York, every weekday.
Alexander is one of a dozen men and women selected for the inaugural class of the Foodlink Career Fellowship, a 12-month program to prepare hard-to-employ individuals for mid-skill culinary jobs that pay a living wage—about $45,000 annually—and offer room for advancement. (For comparison's sake, the median annual wage for entry-level food industry jobs is $20,410.)
"I've been cooking since I was 13," says Alexander, 20. "It makes me happy to see people enjoying what I make."
Before earning a spot in the career fellowship, Alexander worked as a busboy at an Olive Garden franchise. Four of his fellow classmates, who range in age from 18 to 50, were employed at fast-food establishments, four were on public assistance, and the rest were on parole or recovering from substance abuse.

The launch of the fellowship coincides with Foodlink's 40th anniversary, and marks a new chapter in the nonprofit's expansion in Rochester. The food bank, founded by Tom Ferraro in 1978 (who served on the board of the nonprofit Second Harvest, which eventually became Feeding America), has grown to a 500-member organization that currently distributes more than 18 million pounds of emergency food—including nearly 5 million pounds of produce—to human services agencies, food pantries, senior centers, after-school programs, and daycares in 10 counties.
Foodlink also runs more than 30 programs aimed at ending hunger and improving nutrition, like its Curbside Market trucks, which deliver low-cost fresh fruit and vegetables to about 30,000 customers. Foodlink also operates a 1.3-acre farm in northwest Rochester, where refugees from Nepal, Bhutan, and Somalia grow about 5,000 pounds of food annually for other Foodlink programs and to feed their families.
Creating a culinary program is one dream that Ferraro, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2014, didn't live to see fulfilled. His staff committed to making it a reality.
"Tom always thought workforce development was an integral part of our work," says Mitch Gruber, Foodlink's chief program officer. "But it took many years to fully develop a program of this magnitude because [it] is incredibly challenging and resource-intensive if it is to be run effectively."
At the same time, Wegmans Food Markets, also headquartered in Rochester, was having difficulty filling mid-level cook positions, and urged the food bank to expedite the process, which kicked off two years of planning. And with the launch of the career fellowship in July 2018, Foodlink has joined a large cohort of programs across the country—from Wisconsin to San Diego and from Oregon to New York—that are meeting the strong demand for skilled kitchen labor by training the formerly incarcerated and economically disadvantaged.
Building a Program
As part of their research, Foodlink staff visited DC Central Kitchen and L.A. Kitchen (which closed last month), two of the 60 members of Catalyst Kitchens, a Seattle-based organization that helps nonprofit organizations expand or grow food-service businesses and culinary job training programs geared to the homeless and formerly incarcerated. Foodlink staff learned that successful programs offer workplace readiness skills and customized, attainable career pathways, training kitchens modeled after real work environments, and access to job placement and retention support. Foodlink also hired Catalyst Consulting, an arm of Catalyst Kitchens, to conduct a feasibility study.

Locally, Foodlink staff met with business leaders in food sales and production to learn about their employment needs. The bottom line: there were more jobs than qualified mid-level cooks. "If we are successful in training people for the jobs that exist in Rochester's food industry, we can continue to scale up the fellowship to meet the demand," says Gruber.
For those who graduate, the future looks promising. In addition to Wegmans, other major regional employers—including Barilla Pasta, LiDestri Foods, the University of Rochester, and the Rochester Institute of Technology—are experiencing difficulty finding skilled mid-level cooks. There is a nationwide shortage of mid-level cooks, which is likely to worsen, even as demand increases: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, demand for cooks projected to rise 6 percent by 2026.
Foodlink fellowship's pilot year cost about $360,000, funded by Foodlink and three local foundations. The food bank's reputation for creating and maintaining programs that effectively address the root causes of hunger—and its financial stability—gave community funders and partners the confidence to support and engage with the new program, says Gruber.
Wegmans' strong support was also vital to developing the culinary program, he adds. In 2016, the supermarket giant helped design and pay for Foodlink's $5 million, 28,000-square-foot kitchen, built at the nonprofit's headquarters on the northwest side of the city. Wegmans staff advised Foodlink on the purchase of kitchen equipment and curriculum development and, most importantly, Wegmans committed to providing externships to the fellows during their final three months in the program. The supermarket chain will consider successful interns for full-time employment. Foodlink is committed to helping those who are not hired by Wegmans find positions with other local companies, staff say.
The partnership is mutually beneficial, says John Emerson, Wegmans' vice president of prepared foods. "We need them to grow our businesses," he says. "It's very hard to get people to work in food service. It's not seen as glamorous—everyone wants to work in an office these days."
The year-long Foodlink Career Fellowship is significantly longer than similar programs—a major strength, according to Emerson. By repeating kitchen tasks over and over, students become proficient in food preparation, he says. "So many programs tend to be 12 to 20 weeks—just enough to get an entry-level job earning a minimum wage. In real life, [cooks] have to debone hundreds of chickens a day."
The students spend 90 minutes a day in the classroom learning Rouxbe, a web-based culinary curriculum used by Wegmans, Marriott International, and other professional kitchens. The rest of their time is spent in the kitchen, making lunches in the cold room, working on an assembly line, slicing apples for school snack bags, and preparing hot meals in the kitchen. Foodlink cooks teach the students food safety, knife skills, food prep, kitchen cleaning, and teamwork.
By the time they complete the fellowship, students will have earned six industry-recognized certifications and gained invaluable experience. "[Graduates will] have worked for a year, not only on their culinary skills, but also their own personal barriers to sustainable employment," says Jes Scannell, the program's director of career empowerment. "Our goal is that this work creates a reliable, skilled, emotionally intelligent employee for our employer partners. It will reduce turnover. Equally as important, it will impact family self-sufficiency and the demographic make-up of middle-skills employees in our region."
Foodlink's positive impact has not gone unnoticed; as the nonprofit celebrated its 40th anniversary in December, it received a $481,000 grant from the USDA to expand its Curbside Market, and $20,000 from the Enterprise Foundation to continue its work.
New York State Senator Joseph Robach, a Republican who represents New York's 56th District, calls Foodlink "an invaluable member of the community." "I have had the privilege of seeing Foodlink grow from its infancy to where it is today," he says. "They not only achieve their goal of providing food to those in need, they also add to the overall wellness of our community and contribute to our local farming and agriculture economy. Foodlink is truly one of my favorite organizations in the Rochester area."
Providing Wraparound Support
While the kitchen employees direct the fellows in the art of cooking, Scannell and Clayton Waller, the program's career coach, teach workplace readiness skills. Both were hired specifically for the culinary training program.
"Instead of focusing on deficits, we have them look at the big and small events in their lives and how they grew from them," says Scannell. In addition to traditional skills—goal setting, resume writing, and interviewing—students learn how to get to work on time every day, stay motivated, and peacefully resolve work conflicts.
And if a fellow's personal life starts to fray, Scannell and Waller are quick to step in—"wrapping a client in support," they say. They helped a young woman find alternate means to pay for daycare after her partner left town, referred students for legal advice and mental health counseling, and smoothed out tenant-landlord disputes.
"Their lives are fragile," says Scannell. "It doesn't take much to throw a wrench in things."
Despite the high level of support, three of the fellows dropped out before the end of the first quarter—one for health reasons and two for repeated absences. "We made referrals to other programs," says Waller. "And they were told if they re-applied here, they could return."
The Rochester program's experience is not unusual, says Renee Martin, director of Catalyst Kitchens. The annual attrition rate for Catalyst's national network of culinary programs is between 30 and 40 percent.
"It's almost impossible to predict who will make it," Martin says. "There is a whole constellation of variables that impact [a student's] ability to stay the course. Trainees must 'opt in.' You have to be willing to stick it out and succeed."
Knife skills training
Foodlink conducted a "rigorous assessment" of its applicants during the selection process and will continue to tweak the program, says Gruber. But staff acknowledge the needs of the students have been more intensive than anticipated. That's one reason why Foodlink has decided to train two groups of students a year, rather than the four groups they'd initially planned. "We would rather spend more time with each cohort to ensure that we are setting people up for long-term success in the food industry," Gruber says.
Money was another factor in the decision to grow the program more slowly than planned. "Though we eventually expect to have employer-sponsors to make the program sustainable, we know that right now we need to find ways to make the Fellowship financially viable," Gruber adds.
LaRhonda Harris, a 28-year-old single mother of three, is one of the students who has blossomed in the program, in part thanks to the caring of Scannell and Waller. On one occasion, Waller accompanied Harris to a parent-teacher conference. "We wanted to make sure she had an advocate," he explains. After the teacher informed Harris that her son was way behind in class, Scannell bought the child flash cards and books.
Before cooking school, Harris says she sat at home worrying how she and her children would survive. "This place brought out a different person in me," she says. "This place motivates me."
Even her children are behaving better. "My kids see me going out, doing something positive. It makes them real happy."

Q: javascript Regular Expressions I have the following url
http://www.test.info/?id=50&size=40

How do I get the value of the url parameter with regular expressions in javascript . i need the size value and also need the url without &?
only
http://www.test.info/?id=50

Thanks

A: Just use this as your regex
size.*?(?=&|$)

here is some code you can use
var re = /size.*?(?=&|$)/g;
var myArray = url.match(re);
console.log(myArray);

you also can do it like this:
var re = new RegExp("size.*?(?=&|$)", "g");

A: Here is a regex pattern you could use.
^(.+)&size=(\d+)

The first group will be the url up to right before the '&' sign. The second group will be the value of the size parameter. This assumes id always comes before size, and that there are only two parameters: id and size.

A: Consider using split instead of a regex:
var splitted = 'http://www.test.info/?id=50&size=40'.split('&');
var urlWithoutAmpersand = splitted[0];
// now urlWithoutAmpersand => 'http://www.test.info/?id=50'
var sizeValue = splitted[1].split('=')[1] * 1;
// now sizeValue => 40

Woooooooo! Two weeks and counting my fellow Jabber Loggers! Yesterday made the birth of my daughter more of a reality. My wife and I had to meet with one of the advisors of the hospital in order to pre-register so that we did not have to do it when my wife goes into labor. The hospital is very nice and it's pretty peaceful as well. I'm sure it won't be all that peaceful when my wife is crushing my hand while dealing with a killer contraction but oh well. I helped make the child so I might as well take some pain as well right? We sat in the office with the advisor and we enjoyed some small talk but we quickly moved on to the good stuff. Let's register and get to know everyone by asking somewhat awkward questions. "So Ricardo, I see you're a 911 dispatcher."
"Oh, that sounds like a very interesting job."
"I bet you've heard it all huh? The job sounds unpredictable."
"That it is, that it is."
There were long pauses and I usually don't talk about all of my calls because I have taken some horrifying ones. If you don't believe me, click on the right side for "Within the Trenches" and you can read a few bad ones. So after a few awkward pauses we moved on. I wasn't trying to be a jerk to her. I was just saving her mind from thinking too much about any bad call I brought up. We moved on to allergies in the family and past medical history. It was the normal routine crap but what threw me for a loop was when she asked about our race/ethnicity.
"So I see that you're both white but do either of you have anything else mixed in there?"
I chuckled for a moment. I glanced over at my wife and then smiled. I slowly turned toward the advisor and my smile grew. Imagine the scene in the animated version of, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" when his smile starts out small and then grows beyond belief.
"Um...well I'm actually 100% Mexican."
"Oh!" She turned red for a moment. "Well, I thought you might be mixed because your name is Ricardo but..."
I laughed and said, "It's cool. I am slightly lighter than most Mexicans and I have no accent." I made sure to say all of this in my best announcer voice and we all shared a nice laugh about it. Then the advisor asked another question and I almost lost it!
"So Rebecca, I know Ricardo is full Mexican but do you have any Mexican in you?"
I let out a chuckle and I bit my tongue. Seeing how she was pregnant I could have busted out several cracks but I held back. I glanced at my wife and she gave me the, "Don't you dare joke right now" look. I'm sure she would have laughed but I let it go. The registration ended with a tour of the birthing center and I was impressed. The best part, for my wife that is, was that she may have a room with a jacuzzi. Now from what I saw, it looked pretty sweet. Are there any mom's out there that had a chance to use one? If so, let me know what you thought about it. There is just a short time left and Lola Mae is on her way and I'm stoked! Can't wait to meet you baby girl!

Migrants pull the chain to jump off the Shramik train in Assam to avoid quarantine
Cory Weinberg Jun 03, 2020 0 Comments
A passenger was arrested at the Hojai market after he disappeared from the train (File)
61 people have been arrested and two separate cases filed by the Railway and Assam Police after migrant workers, returning aboard a special Shramik train from Mumbai, pulled the emergency chain to jump off the train to avoid the quarantine period.
The train was traveling from Mumbai to Dibrugarh when migrant workers decided to pull the Lokmanya Tilak Shramik train chain near the Hojai train station in Lower Assam on Tuesday at midnight.
56 of those passengers who got off in Hojai were arrested by the Railway Protection Force the same night the incident occurred, while the rest were arrested by the Assam Police in coordination with the Government Railway Police Force (GRPF) on Wednesday. in the morning.
Of these passengers, one was arrested at the Hojai market after he disappeared from the train.
Of the 56 passengers, 31 are from Murajhar, 16 from Lanka, 2 from Jamunamukh, 2 from Hojai and 4 from Doboka, police sources added.
The incident created panic at the Hojai station when these workers came from Mumbai, the city most affected by COVID-19. Mumbai has more than 40,000 coronavirus cases, and thousands of migrants have left the city to return to their home states.
Assam has recently witnessed an increase in coronavirus cases. Up to 111 more people tested positive for COVID-19 in Assam on Wednesday, bringing the total number of cases in the state to 1,672. There are 1,328 active cases in the state. While 337 people recovered, four died and three migrated out of state.

Vince Gray, International Man of Mystery
by Alan Suderman June 29th, 2011 September 21st, 2020
Mayor Vince Gray felt the need today at his sparsely attended news conference (half of Gray's cabinet was there, but few reporters) to tout his efforts at promoting international relations.
Gray regularly meets with ambassadors and officials from around the world. So far he's met with ambassadors of the European Union, Namibia, Albania, Japan, Turkey, Liechtenstein, Belgium, Israel, Italy, and Qatar. He's also met with the mayors of Taipei, Seoul, and Brussels, and plans on meeting next week with the mayor of the Tshwane Metropolitan Authority in South Africa. He's also met with local lawmakers from Baghdad, Bangkok and Seoul.
Gray also recently signed a sister city agreement with the mayor Rome.
At his presser, Gray said building international relationships is "incredibly important" and will raise the District's profile, stimulate the local economy and create jobs.
According to city staff, Gray's international calendar is substantially more packed than former Mayor Adrian Fenty's. The last mayor's meetings with international officials were "very seldom," says a staffer who worked in the last administration. (Except when he was on vacation, that is.)

50 years ago Milton Friedman told us greed was good. He was half right
By Richard Holden
Sunday, September 20, 2020 5:57 AM UTC
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed – for lack of a better word – is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms – greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge – has marked the upward surge of mankind.
– Gordon Gekko, Wall Street 1987
Fifty years ago, well before the movie Wall Street, Chicago economist Milton Friedman set down what for many was the essence of the famous speech in Wall Street in an article for the New York times magazine entitled "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits".
His point, which along with his other contributions was recognised when he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1976, was that businesses serve society best when they abandon talk of "social responsibilities" and solely maximise returns for shareholders.
Incredibly influential (the past week has seen special conferences and anniversary analyses), the essay has been credited with ushering in the doctrine of "shareholder primacy," and with it short-termism, hostile takeovers, colossal frauds and savage job cuts.
Its a doctrine not seriously challenged until the 2008-2009 global financial crisis.
The essay that sparked a revolution, 50 years ago this week. New York Times
But in an important respect it was misread.
Although not clear from the title of the essay, Friedman himself was quite concerned with broader social aims.
His essay was about how best to achieve them.
His point was that if companies made as much money as they could for their shareholders, those shareholders could spend it on social goals, "if they wished to do so".
For the company to attempt to guess what goals its shareholders would want to support and to support them itself would be for the company to do its main job badly.
Although it made a certain sort of sense, the Friedman doctrine has turned out to be incomplete.
As Harvard University's Oliver Hart (who also won the Nobel Prize for Economics) has points out, corporations are often much better than their shareholders at achieving the goals their shareholders care about.
Corporations can achieve more than individuals
Individual shareholders can't do much to avert climate change, but the corporations they own can.
A mining company could either stop operating an environmentally-damaging mine or run the mine, make a bunch of money and pay it to shareholders who could use the money to mitigate the damage "if they wished to do so".
Its hard to argue that, if shareholders do indeed "wish to do so", the first option isn't better.
To cite a recent instance, is hard to "un-blow-up" 46,000 years of Indigenous heritage.
In contrast, Friedman was almost surely right about corporate charitable contributions, which was in many ways the impetus for the article.
In what way are corporations better at giving money to charities (and political parties) than individuals. In none that are obvious (and not potentially corrupt).
So where do we draw the line about what corporations do and don't do?
Proponents of the "stakeholder view" now endorsed by an increasing number of superannuation funds think corporations should have a composite objective that takes into account the interests of shareholders, bondholders, workers, suppliers, the environment, and more.
Yet a point in every direction…
The problem with this, as recognised by the arrow-covered pointless man in the animated Harry Nilsson film What's The Point? is that "a point in every direction is the same as no point at all".
As Friedman put it, composite objectives suffer from "looseness and lack of rigour".
Others, such as Hart and University of Chicago professor Luigi Zingales think firms should find out what shareholders most want, and "pursue that goal."
This has the virtue of permitting a social objective while creating a concrete, measurable goal.
It's a way of giving shareholders (and super fund members) a voice that is more direct than simply electing directors every few years.
Friedman helped start an important discussion. Fifty years on, it isn't finished.


This is the other project I worked on with Maplelea this past spring and summer. They've come out with an entire selection of high quality Canadian dolls that you can pick from. These dolls don't come with ready made stories, but do come with a journal (just like the other girls) where you can create her story, as well as a section for your child to fill in about herself! I had the pleasure of doing the illustration work for the clothing (shirt and shoes) as well as all the art and design work in the 148 page journal!

Will your flights be impacted by Qatar rift?
Only Emirates flights in and out of Doha will be affected by the situation in the Gulf, the airline says. Daniel Wilkins
by Lauren McMah news.com.au
6th Jun 2017 7:12 PM
EMIRATES has assured Australian passengers that aside from its Qatar routes, its usual flights will not be disrupted as a diplomatic rift sparks air travel chaos across the Gulf region.
Emirates, Etihad, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Egypt Air and other Gulf carriers have announced they will no longer fly in and out of Qatar after Saudi Arabia and six other Arab states cut air, sea and land links to the increasingly isolated nation.
In turn, Qatar Airways announced on Tuesday it would suspend all flights to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain until further notice.
The flight suspensions will immediately impact passengers on busy air routes between the Qatari capital, Doha, and other Middle Eastern cities, such as Egypt, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Experts are also bracing for a flow-on effect to other Gulf-based operators, such as delays due to changes in airspace rules.
But a spokeswoman for Emirates told news.com.au there would be "no impacts" to the airline's other routes, such as those that connect Australia with Europe and Asia via Dubai.
Emirates said in a statement it would suspend only its flights to and from the Qatari capital of Doha from Tuesday, until further notice.
"All customers booked on Emirates' flights to and from Doha will be provided with alternative options, including full refunds on unused tickets and rebooking to the nearest alternate Emirates destinations," the airline said.
news.com.au has contacted Etihad for comment, however the Abu Dhabi-based airline has similarly not indicated any changes to its other flight routes.
The diplomatic crisis in the Gulf will come as a blow to Doha, a major transport crossroads, as well as Qatar Airways, which has now been cut off from 20 airports in its region.
UK-based aviation consultant John Strickland told Al Jazeera the local travel disruptions were "unprecedented".
"There's been disruptions in the region before, such as during the Gulf War," he said. "Flights had to be re-routed, but I cannot think of anything comparable to the current events."
Australian aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas told The Australian passengers may see extended flight times as aircraft avoid airspace that is now out of bounds.
"This will be a very significant disrupter both in loss of air routes to these particular countries, but also because Qatar Airways would now have to fly around those countries rather than over them," Mr Thomas, editor of Airlineratings.com, said.
"Flights to Australia and Asia fly over the UAE and Qatar Airways will be denied access to fly their aircraft over that airspace. They'll have to do a significant diversion, which will add an hour, maybe more, to flight times. It will also significantly impact flight routes to other locations in the Middle East and such diversions might not be economically viable."
Qatar Airways flights to and from locations in the United States and Europe will be largely unaffected, the Wall Street Journal reports.
But Phil Slyvester, travel expert at Travel Insurance Direct, said the future of Qatar Airways - a major international player that flies more than 150 routes - may be shaky and it could affect travel insurance.
"All Qatar Airways flights to Europe go via Doha - that's the point of having a national airline," he told news.com.au.
"As long as the airspace restrictions don't stop them getting to their own country, those flights will continue, albeit they might take longer as Qatar Airways needs to reroute to avoid Saudi airspace. This won't impact your travel insurance policy."
The move by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and the Maldives to cut diplomatic relations with Qatar comes amid accusations the oil-rich nation supported terror groups in the region, which Qatar denies.

Rochet-Schneider was een Frans automerk.

In 1889 werd Société de Construction Vélocipédique du Rhône opgericht door Edouard Rochet, een monteur, en Théophile Schneider een fabrikant van zijde. Er werden aanvankelijk alleen fietsen gemaakt. In 1892 begonnen de oprichters voorzichtig te denken aan motorvoertuigen en de naam werd aangepast naar Société Lyonnaise de Construction Vélocipédique et Automobile Rochet & Schneider. In 1894 lag er een ontwerp van de eerste auto met riemoverbrenging en een horizontaal gemonteerde eencilindermotor.

In 1896 werd de eerste auto op de markt gebracht. Het was een der eerste firma's in Lyon die dit deed. De auto's stonden aanvankelijk niet bol van de innovatie; de auto's uit 1904 hadden bijvoorbeeld nog immer een houten chassis dat met staal versterkt was.

In 1909 trad Théodore Schneider terug en richtte zijn eigen zaak op, Automobiles Th. Schneider.

Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog schakelde Rochet-Schneider over op oorlogsproductie. Ze maakten vracht- en ziekenwagens en granaten voor het leger. Na de oorlog was het moeilijk voor de firma zich staande te houden in de autofabricage en in 1932 stopte de autoproductie.

In de jaren dertig maakte het vrachtwagens met een laadvermogen tussen de twee en 12 ton. De vrachtwagens waren uitgerust met een vier- of zescilinder benzine- of dieselmotor. Het Franse leger was geen grote afnemer, maar de vrachtwagens die er waren werden in de oorlog overgenomen door het Duitse leger. Het bedrijf lag in in het onbezette deel van Frankrijk, Vichy-Frankrijk, en kreeg orders van de Wehrmacht voor de levering van 15 à 30 voertuigen per maand. Veel van deze wagens werden uitgerust met houtgasgenerator.

Vrachtwagens bleef de fabriek maken tot het in december 1959 werd overgenomen door Berliet. In de jaren vijftig was Rochet-Schneider begonnen met de ontwikkeling van een zwaar legervoertuig met de type aanduiding T-6. Berliet ging door met het project en in 1959 werd het voertuig geleverd aan het Franse leger als Berliet GBU 15.

De wagens van Rochet-Schneider werden in licentie gemaakt door Nagant, FN, Florentia en Martini.
