In The FCC's Own Words: Chairman Wheeler Has Proposed Online Discrimination, Paid Prioritization, And Exclusive Deals
from the that's-not-net-neutrality dept
Mon, Sep 15th 2014 12:32pm — Marvin Ammori
Last week, we showed how the Verizon court decision made it clear that without Title II reclassification, the internet would be open to discrimination, paid prioritization and exclusive deals. This week, we're looking at how FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's claims back that up, despite his attempts to argue otherwise.
Chairman Wheeler claims to oppose discrimination and a two-tiered Internet of fast lanes and slow lanes.
Chairman's speech on 5/15/14: "This agency supports an Open Internet. There is ONE Internet. Not a fast internet, not a slow internet; ONE Internet. … The potential for there to be some kind of 'fast lane' available to only a few has many people concerned. Personally, I don't like the idea that the Internet could become divided into 'haves' and 'have nots.' I will work to see that does not happen. In this Item we specifically ask whether and how to prevent the kind of paid prioritization that could result in 'fast lanes.'"
But his proposal would authorize discrimination and a two-tiered Internet of fast lanes and slow lanes.
Chairman's proposal: "[W]e propose to adopt the text of the no-blocking rule that the Commission adopted in 2010, with a clarification that it does not preclude broadband providers from negotiating individualized, differentiated arrangements with similarly situated edge providers (subject to the separate commercial reasonableness rule or its equivalent). So long as broadband providers do not degrade lawful content or service to below a minimum level of access, they would not run afoul of the proposed rule. We also seek comment below on how to define that minimum level of service. Alternatively, we seek comment on whether we should adopt a no-blocking rule that does not allow for priority agreements with edge providers and how we would do so consistent with sources of legal authority other than section 706, including Title II." (para. 89)
That is, the rule proposed would allow for cable and phone companies to offer and cut new deals with websites and applications, and those deals do not have to treat similar companies similarly. These priority arrangements could be for a fee, and wildly different fees for each site. As an "alternative" to the proposal, the FCC agreed to ask whether it should adopt a rule that forbids "priority arrangements," but that is certainly not Wheeler's official proposal.
Further, Wheeler is also proposing exclusive deals, with merely a rebuttable presumption against a very small subset -- between an ISP and a website it owns. So Verizon-Amazon or Comcast-Apple exclusives would be legal.
In light of such concerns, we propose to adopt a rebuttable presumption that a broadband provider's exclusive (or effectively exclusive) arrangement prioritizing service to an affiliate would be commercially unreasonable. (para. 126)
What this means is that the FCC is presuming that all exclusive deals with websites and applications are reasonable -- except for a small subset where a cable company makes an exclusive deal with a company it owns. So if Comcast prioritizes NBC.com (which it owns) and one other company (say Apple or Facebook), then Comcast's deals are presumed reasonable. If Verizon makes an exclusive deal with one investment platform (e.g., E-Trade or TD Ameritrade), then the exclusive deal is presumed reasonable because Verizon does not own either of them.
As I noted in my previous post , if the FCC relies on the authority in Section 706, and not the one in Title II, the FCC must in fact permit discrimination, paid prioritization, and exclusive deals. Meaning, so long as the FCC grounds its rule in Section 706 and not Title II, Wheeler could not have even proposed a better rule.

Maybe instead of pouring money into them for the last decades, we should have taken that fund and wired up the whole damn country.
Then we'd not have a few companies trying to find creative ways to get even more money instead of having to actually expand their networks to meet what they already sold.
So services will have to pay to travel over the the lines, customers will have to pay to access the line, and pay more when the data caps get put into place because they are jealous of the money wireless is pulling in.
And magically no money will be put into improving the service or underlying infrastructure, making sure that broadband is capped at 1024kbps and the fact no one is willing to pay the cost of a new car for faster speeds will be all the convincing the FCC needs that we shouldn't have better.

Imagine a system of toll roads where you paid differently according to what make of car you were driving - and/or had speed limtis that varied for the same reason.
This is what is proposed.

Re: Cars
You know, car analogies for the internet usually don't work, but this one isn't too bad. It needs an additional thing, though -- imagine if you had to pay differently depending on who owns the place you're traveling to.

That already happens. Hybrids pay lower tolls in some areas and trucks get different speed limits. Then there's the HOV lane.....

Pay Attention to the Phrasing
I'm afraid I disagree with the author's analysis of the statement. I would like to call attention to a part of the bold text(emphasis does not appear in the original) in the quote from the article, "with similarly situated edge providers".
Granted this gets into an area that I despise, the intersect of legal and technical definitions, but what what this sounds like to me is the preservation of the very common and long standing practice of peering agreements.
This is important because, in general, peering agreements have nothing to do with content. There are situations where the peering agreement does have to do with content, and I'm sure most of this site's readers will be familiar with the Netflix/Comcast agreement.
While the Netflix/Comcast agreement does give Netflix a "better" connection to Comcast's network, it is important to understand that this is an edge connection between two networks. I say this because most of the media attention(I include the blogosphere in this statement) illustrates a situation more similar to a QoS implementation prioritizing Netflix traffic.
This brings me to two important points:
1.) There is a world of difference between increasing throughput on an edge connection and implementing QoS.
2.) Without these peering agreements the internet as it exists today would cease to function.
What I think is the most important point to note is made in the last paragraph of the article, dealing with what authority the FCC is relying on. In reality, the FCC is on shaky ground making any attempt to regulate internet traffic in any way. The FCC knows this, and so do most other folks knowledgeable on the subject.
This is one of many reasons why I think most of what the FCC can/may do at this point is little more than lip service. What remains to be seen is whether or not they decide to pursue actions(undoubtedly with heavy opposition) that do make a significant impact.
This situation, in my opinion, also further underscores the need for significant internet related legislative actions far beyond the authority of the FCC.
Re: Pay Attention to the Phrasing
Dang it, forgot the '/' in the ending tag for the italics. Only "most" was supposed to be italicized.

I think you are correct here. The FCC appears to be saying that they do not think that adding direct peering to services such as Netflix is a problem provided that their other peering arrangements are not overloaded or they otherwise deny or degrade access to other similar services.
The author really needs to take a step back and re-read the original FCC quote, and come to understand the issue.
Now, I personally think that such direct peering arrangements are still against the concept of net neutrality if you take it to it's absolute limit. My personal feeling is that ISPs should always obtain their peer connectivity from transit providers, and that services should do the same. In that manner, all services would generally have the same access to the ISPs network. However, peering is the very nature of the internet, and a direct peering arragement that doesn't cause other services to be degraded, blocked, or obstructed appears to be neutral enough.

"Armed robbery" is not allowed. We're not going to change that. But this is just a "side-arm incentivized transfer of funds" -- so it's not a concern.
"So long as broadband providers do not degrade lawful content or service"
Who determines what's legal , Comcast and Verizon could decide that a site who's had a DMCA request sent to them as illegal , I'm not good with this wording, It's a dingo in a baby suit.
Jack, 15 Sep 2014 @ 2:50pm
AC you need the read the rest of the sentence since you are missing the key piece - they CAN degrade content and services as long as it doesn't go below a specific and completely undefined "minimum level of access" threshold...
When the FCC references "minimum level of access" you really need to be concerned seeing as their "advanced" level of access is a whopping 4 Mbps...
No I understood it , what I'm questioning is who'll be judge and jury and ultimately the executioner, when it comes to what content is legal or not , remember even fair use isn't assured, 4Mbps, being the lowest but many people only have the choice of that connection will they be slowed or completely shut off.
I should point out too that all of this is predicated on the nonsense concept that ISPs want to actively block normal web traffic to somehow extort more money from the public. It's amusing to see people pushing more straw into that already over stuffed strawman.

You're right, so far only one ISP has demonstrated a desire to do that. I mean, what are we worrying about right?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Oh really? who did that exactly? If you are going to say "comcast" or whatever in dealing with Netflix, try not to hurt yourself trying to prove the point. It's not the ISPs blocking, it's Netflix rapidly ramping up the number of customers and overwhelming networking that was otherwise fine.
Should point out too that even with Netflix being willing to purchase prefential service, it's still going to take a long while to get it all hooked up and working. There are no instant solutions... just Netflix blaming others for their business model failings.

No, it was Comcast intentionally letting their links with Netflix's provider saturate.

Wrong, speeds immediately recovered after Netflix paid up.

So much wrong in that sentence...
First off, the conflict was between Verizon and Netflix (and Level3 after Verizon pulled them into it).
Verizon "fixed" the problem by spending 5 minutes and a couple thousand dollars for a new port card, but only after Netflix payed up.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
I was thinking it might have been Verizon, thanks for mentioning that.
Yes, I had the same concern about that wording. Not only in terms of who determines what is legal, but also in terms of how that is determined: the only way it really could be determined is to spy on the users through DPI.
Does Comcast consider TOR "illegal" or not - first they say one thing and then later deny it.
John Fenderson (profile), 16 Sep 2014 @ 8:00am
I thought about bringing that up, but since Comcast is making a strenuous denial and I haven't heard of other reports of them doing this, I think that we don't really know what they're doing or not doing quite yet.
Big isp's better watch themselves sooner or later they'll be asking for tax money to upgrade the lines, that's when citizens should push for ownership rights. especially if it ends up as a 1% tax like the past.
And so the revolving door strikes again. Corruption is once again displayed for all to see. Being flooded with congressional calls, emails, and an internet slow day didn't make a dent. Politics as usual.
Every day, I start to wonder more and more whether or not we're in the waning days of the internet. Or an internet worth paying money for, anyway.

Just this past week in my own piano practice and in helping a student practice I was reminded of two more benefits of counting aloud.
1. Improved memory. I was working on refining my memory on a piece I had been working on, and I realized that in one particular part, I wasn't aware of exactly how all the notes fell on the beats. I was never quite sure exactly when one phrase ended and the next one began. So I decided to count aloud as I played, and low and behold, all the notes suddenly had an exact place to be and it took me about 10 seconds to solidify my memory in that section.
2. Improved ease of playing. Later in the week I was listening to a student play a piece from memory, and one particular end of a phrase felt hurried. I asked, "Can you count aloud that part?" He started to play and count and in the last two beats of the measure he couldn't count it. Sure enough, we figured out the problem. The music had four beats per measure, and yet, his body was only feeling three. Counting aloud brought this to his awareness. He took a moment and reprogrammed his brain and body to count and feel four beats. Suddenly, this passage that had always been worrisome to play became very easy.
Yes, counting aloud takes some time and effort, and will expose weaknesses. However, the rewards are great once you master it. The weaknesses will become strengths, and those difficult passages can become your favorite part. It's amazing to make music from a place of ease and comfort, and a little counting aloud will take you there.


Richmond Township established a Downtown Development Authority (DDA) by Ordinance in 1999 as a means to undertake public facility improvements throughout its development area. Consistent with Section 17 of Public Act 197 of 1975, the Richmond Township Board adopted a Development Plan and Tax Increment Finance Plan in 2000. The Plan included an estimate of the cost of development, a statement of the proposed method of funding the development and the ability of the DDA to arrange financing.
Since its establishment, the Richmond Township DDA has successfully implemented various enhancements throughout the District. These enhancements have included road improvements, water and sewer extensions, and other improvements.
The Economic Development Guidebook provides a baseline assessment of the existing conditions that drive the economy in Richmond Township and is intended to help local stakeholders and Township government officials implement strategies that contribute to the Township's economic health. It includes strategic recommendations to enhance Richmond Township's business climate, ensure the fiscal health of the Township, and support economic growth in the Township in a manner consistent with the Township's character.
Revises and expands the list of capital improvement projects to be undertaken during the life of the Plan.


Hearst's journalistic ethics were probably never more clearly exposed than during the national election campaign of 1936. It is true that eighty per cent of the newspapers in the United States spread slanders and calumnies against the President. But the Hearst organs pulled all the stops and thundered vilification with all the resources at their command. The President was portrayed as a lunatic, a wastrel arid a cartoonist's version of a frothing Communist. Picture and text described him and his advisers as dangerously radical, malicious and altogether feeble-minded. The Hearst press did not hesitate to attribute the source of Roosevelt's social legislation to Moscow. Nor did consistency deter Hearst from charging plagiarism from Hitler and Mussolini. His newspapers shouted denunciation and abuse. Sound familiar? This work is the only complete exposition of the financial, political and social results of the career of William Randolph Hearst.

Encyclopedia > Miracle
Miracle is a term used by adherents of many religions for what they say is an intervention by God in the universe. One must keep in mind that in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and in other faiths people have substantially different definitions of the word "miracle". Even within a specific religion there is often more than one usage of the term.
1 Miracles as described by the Bible
2 Miracles as events pre-planned by God
3 Aristotelian views of miracles
4 Neo-Aristotelian views of miracles
5 Non-literal reinterpretations of miracles
6 Miracles as seen by the Church Fathers
1 External links and references
Miracles as described by the Bible
The description of most miracles in the Tanach (Hebrew Bible, Old Testament) and in the Christian New Testament are more or less the same as the modern-day, popular definition of the word "miracle": In order to achieve some goal, or to teach some lesson, God apparently suspends or speeds up the laws of nature to produce a supernatural occurrence. This appears to be by either violating the known laws of physics, skewing the statistical probability of an event happening, or possibly both. The Bible rarely if ever explains in any detail how miracles happen, other than attributing them to God. The Bible also attributes many natural occurrences to God, such as the sun rising and setting, and rain falling.
Today many Orthodox Jews, most Christians, and most Muslims adhere to this view of miracles. This view is generally rejected by non-Orthodox Jews, liberal Christians and Unitarian-Universalists.
Miracles in the Bible may not actually be instances of the impossible happening, as commonly believed. For instance, consider the parting of the Sea of Reeds (In Hebrew Y�m-S�ph; often mistranslated as the "Red Sea") This incident occurred when Moses and Israelites[?] fled from bondage in Egypt, to begin their exodus to the promised land. The book of Exodus never says that the Reed Sea split in an immediate and drastic fashion. Rather, according to the text God caused a strong wind to slowly drive the shallow waters to land, overnight. In this case, there is no claim that God pushed apart the sea as it is shown in many films; rather, the miracle would be that Israel crossed this precise place, at exactly the right time, when Moses lifted his staff, and that the pursuing Egyptian army, then drowned when the wind stopped and the piled waters rushed back in.
Most events later described as miracles are not labeled as such by the Bible; rather the text simply describes what happened. Often these narratives will attribute the cause of these events to God.
Miracles as events pre-planned by God
In rabbinic Judaism, most rabbis of the Talmud held that the laws of nature were inviolable. The idea of miracles that contravened the laws of nature were hard to accept; however, at the same time they affirmed the truth of the accounts in the Tanakh. Therefore some explained that miracles were in fact natural events that had been set up by God at the beginning of time. When the walls of Jericho fell, it was not because God directly brought them down. Rather, God planned that there would be an earthquake at that place and time, so that the city would fall to the Israelites. Instances where rabbinic writings say that God made miracles a part of creation include Genesis Rabbah 5:45; Exodus Rabbah 21:6; Ethics of the Fathers/Pirkei Avot 5:6.
Aristotelian views of miracles
Aristotle rejected the idea that God could or would intervene in the order of the natural world; his view of miracles was incompatible with Biblical view.
Neo-Aristotelian views of miracles
In this section we will describe the view of miracles in neo-Aristotelian philosophy. Jewish neo-Aristotelian philosophers, who are still influential today, include Maimonides, Samuel Ibn Tibbon, and Gersonides. Directly or indirectly, their views are still prevalent in much of the religious Jewish community. Christian and Muslim neo-Aristotelian philosophers should also be discussed in this section; also please note if their works are still studied and accepted today, and if so, by whom.
Non-literal reinterpretations of miracles
Held by both classical and modern thinkers.
In Numbers 22 is the story of Balaam and the talking donkey. Many hold that for miracles such as this, one must either assert the literal truth of this story, or one must then reject the story as false. However, some Jewish commentators (e.g. Saadiah Gaon and Maimonides) hold that stories such as these were never meant to be taken literally in the first place. Rather, these stories should be understood as accounts of a prophetic experience, which are dreams or visions. Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz, one of the great Jewish biblical commentators of the 20th century, writes that these verses "depict the continuance on the subconscious plane of the mental and moral conflict in Balaam's soul; and the dream apparition and the speaking donkey is but a further warning to Balaam against being misled through avarice to violate God's command."
Miracles as seen by the Church Fathers
Early Christian writers of the first few centuries appear to take the biblical stories of miracles at face value. In addition, they report additional miracles that happened in later centuries. The purposes of miracles vary, but recurring themes are miracles done for the benefit of a person, such as physical healing, or raising from the dead; miracles done to prevent or discourage some evil from happening, such as Herod being consumed with worms upon inviting people to worship him, or various martyrs being found unusually difficult to kill, such as not being touched by flames; and often times to increase the faith of those who witnessed or later heard of the miracles, whether the faith of current believers or unbelievers moved to convert to Christianity after witnessing a miracle.

The one universal truth about the polished concrete industry is that there is no universal truth. We don't agree on the definition of polished concrete, what steps are important, or the best way to steer the industry. Still, there are myths and there are accurate perceptions.
Full-range cut: To cut or not to cut? What steps are required? In the early days of concrete polishing, it was natural to follow the sequencing established in the natural stone industry, where each step is followed by a pass with a diamond grit half the size of the previous one. You did not skip steps. Period. This was important because the intent in polishing is to create a consistent, uniform scratch pattern when you grind and polish. For the greatest clarity, and the most consistent shine and depth to your reflection, you want to stay with this sequencing, skipping no steps.
But the question isn't always about clarity or about removing all laitance. So the best advice is to be honest with the customer: 1) For crisp clarity and high polish, don't skip steps, but 2) if the customer's budget doesn't allow for the full sequencing and they're primarily looking for a clean floor with the benefits of densification, skipping a step with the right diamonds won't get you in trouble.
Wet versus dry: The debate continues on wet versus dry, and the applicator's decision is often based on how they were initially taught and how they receive the best results based on their grinder, diamonds and concrete. Most applicators understand that they can achieve a good polish either way, and with many the method is dependent on the manufacturers with whom they are associated. Many applicators combine the two techniques as they grind and polish, feeling that water assists in the cutting with the early metal steps, but that they achieve a better polish at the top end going dry. Be aware that in going dry the shimmer you receive with phenolic resins can just as easily come from resin melted in the surface as from the diamond polish.
Keeping your diamonds and floor clean: Failure to keep the diamonds and floor clean, especially in the grinding stages, can come back to bite you as you move ahead in your sequencing. Even when grinding dry it is imperative that you clean the floor between steps in order to remove fretted diamonds and concrete fines from your floor surface. Water not only helps to clean diamonds and the floor, but also provides you with the ability to identify depressions that you missed or previous scratch patterns that were never successfully removed.
What's neutral? When talking about cleaning concrete you often hear the term "neutral cleaner." "Neutral" when discussing the pH scale generally refers to a reading of 7.0 on a scale of 0 to 14, but your definition needs to take into account the pH of the floor being cleaned. A cleaner with a pH of 9.2 to 9.5 in the properly diluted state actually parallels the pH of concrete, so while it is slightly alkaline, it is "neutral" to the concrete. You do not want cleaners that contain sulfates or hydroxides, because they attack concrete, but you do want a slightly alkaline cleaner.
Biased testing results: Testing can either be subjective or objective depending on what results you are trying to achieve. Too often testing in our industry is skewed to deliver results that a particular manufacturer or applicator is seeking. Is testing inherently wrong? No. Can the "skewing" be innocent? Yes. The test areas that are abused the most are also the ones that should be counted on the most to establish performance. Be careful in what you ask for and stand back if you do not understand the individual tests. Use the tests in a uniform, objective way.
Early cuts — ripping the cap: We are all familiar with the idea of the "28-day cure," but we have all come upon jobs where we get pushed to be on the slab in seven, 10 or 14 days. Early cuts can cause fractures. The calcium hydroxide is formed during curing, and without it you cannot have complete hardening and strengthening of the slab. Often GCs or applicators who want to argue point to early cutting of the slab when installing cementitious terrazzo. What they don't acknowledge is that this cutting is to promote flatness, that it is done to expose the glass or marble consistently, that a slurry coat is applied to fill all the fissures and fractures created by this early cut, and that the floor is allowed to complete its 28-day cure prior to polishing.
Tire markings: Why is densified concrete so good at resisting tire markings? Consider what happens when a tire marks a floor. Very simply, tire marking on coatings occurs when tire rotation and forklift or truck weight heats the tire rubber and the floor coating. As the tire sheds hot rubber particles under weight, the heated coating absorbs them, and then traps them during the cooling process.
Whiting/acid neutralization: Whenever you apply an acid stain to concrete that will also be densified, you must completely neutralize and remove the acid residue before densifying the slab. You are likely to get whiting from the acid-alkyl reaction between the low-pH acid stain and high-pH concrete. This whiting usually requires grinding to remove it. A variety of products are utilized to neutralize, from ammonia and trisodium phosphate (TSP) to baking soda. Whenever you neutralize with baking soda you must add warm water to ensure that the baking soda goes fully into solution. Allow the neutralizing solution adequate time to dwell and penetrate, or all you will do is neutralize the surface and acids will wick up as the slab dries.
Acid cutting: An acid stain is composed of metallic salts, water and acid, with the acid generally being at a 10 percent dilution. Whenever you are trying to lighten an acid stain it is important to first create a "dilution solution" of water and 10 percent acid. As the acid is there to open the pores to receive the metallic salts, an improperly diluted acid stain will only achieve weakened penetration, resulting in a very blotchy job.
Gloss meter: I've previously devoted a column to this topic, so I won't be too wordy. Simply, make sure that you utilize the gloss meter to document objective improvement in the floor. And remember, every square inch of concrete varies.
Peter Wagner has been involved in the polished concrete industry for the past decade, both as an applicator and as director of marketing and training for several densifier and dye manufacturers. He is currently working with Deco-Pour and Revolutionary Concrete Chemicals, helping bring water-based concrete dyes and a polished concrete cleaner to market.

Coloring concrete isn't just a matter of choosing pigment, sand and cement. How your concrete is finished will alter its color too.


Benjamin graham : A scholar and financial analyst who is widely recognized as the father of value investing. His famous book, The Intelligent Investor, has gained recognition as one of the best and most important investment pieces written illustrating the fundamentals of a value-investing strategy.
The hottest investment tip which I am going to reveal here is one of the best kept secrets of the investment world.
Rahul completed his graduation and looking for a job. Before appearing for the interview he wanted to know the best tips for attending the interview. He collected some tips from his friends; some from his seniors; and some more from his relatives. One day he met a placement consultant and asked him for some more interview tips.
The placement consultant looked into the eyes of Rahul and gave him a form and also asked him to fill up the details. Rahul was wondering what for this form is. The form has got some questions to identify and analyse the strength and weakness of the candidate. While filling up the form Rahul got the whole idea. That is "the interview tip is not somewhere outside; It is within him". Identifying his strengths i.e his skill sets, his knowledge, his interest, his aspiration and applying for a job which demands those strengths. Rahul was moved. Rahul was transformed. Thereafter he never asked for any interview tip from anyone.
So an investment suitable for one person need not be suitable for another. Because they may have different goals, and risk levels. As there is no common investment for each and everyone, obviously there can't be an investment tip which is common to all.
Then how do these investment tips exist? There are lots of people, who don't want to follow the regular investment process and looking for a short cut. So there is a demand or market is available for investment tips. It is difficult to sell an investment by following the correct process. But it is too easy to sell an investment by giving something in the name of a hot tip.
Where from these investment tips come? Media, stock brokers, or other investors. Primarily, it comes from the stock brokers. Even in media, these stock brokers only provide these tips. The other investor could have received the tip from his broker.
If you are going for shopping, you decide what to buy or seek the advice of shop keeper for what are all you need to buy. Can anyone rely on that advice? Similarly can anyone rely on the common advice by a stock broker?
Stock brokers provide tips mainly for trading; not for investments. Investment is entirely different from trading. Trading is for short term. Investment is for long term say 5 years and above. Stock broker earns commission out of your transactions. A trader will do frequent transaction so frequent commission. An investor will buy and hold and will not do regular transactions. So no regular commission.
That is why Benjamin graham, the investment guru of Warren Buffet, says "the investors make money for themselves and the stock traders make money for his broker".
Investment tips are all mere traps. So in reality there is no such thing as INVESTMENT TIPS.


USDA's estimate of a record high 4.59 billion bushel soybean crop sent prices lower Friday and likely set a bearish tone that could last into harvest (DTN ProphetX chart).
November Soybeans: November soybeans fell 40 1/2 cents last week to $8.61 3/4. Most of the damage came on Friday after USDA predicted a larger-than-expected 4.59 billion bushel soybean crop with a higher-than-expected yield of 51.6 bushels per acre. The August WASDE report does carry a wide 90% confidence interval of plus or minus 10.5%, but there seems little room for a bullish argument as weather has been generally favorable across the Midwest. Technically, the three-week correction came to an abrupt end and prices are back near their lowest level in nine years with harvest pressure typically lasting until early October. Trade problems with China are also a bearish pressure that add potential volatility to this year's soybean prices.
December Corn: December corn closed down 12 1/2 cents last week, ending at $3.71 3/4 Friday. Like soybeans, corn prices were hurt by a higher-than-expected crop estimate of 14.59 billion bushels from USDA, based on a record high yield estimate of 178.4 bushels per acre. Unlike soybeans however, corn has a more hopeful demand situation with USDA estimating a 20% reduction in world ending corn stocks in 2018-19. With trader positions more balanced than they were in May, December corn has a better chance of maintaining its sideways trading range through harvest.
September Chicago Wheat: September Chicago wheat dropped 9 1/2 cents last week to $5.46 3/4, a modest loss, compared to row crops. USDA's numbers were fairly neutral for wheat with USDA estimating 4% less global production in 2018-19, an estimate that could go lower if dry weather concerns are as bad as they currently sound. Technically, September Chicago wheat is in a precarious position, having attracted the largest noncommercial net-long holding on record, but not yet able to sustain trading above last year's high of $5.74 1/2. On the bullish side, the weekly stochastic has not yet turned lower and fundamentally, wheat currently has the most bullish potential it has seen since 2012. It is close to a coin flip, but we have to say the trend is currently up until proven otherwise.

How Now Dairy milks new system
By Rodney Woods
How Now Dairy co-founder Cathy Palmer in the dairy with the business' two litre bottle and milk and the milk vat.
Calves remain with their mothers until they are weaned at four months old.
AN EXCLUSIVE female herd and keeping calves alongside their mothers for longer are the cornerstone characteristics of Congupna's How Now Dairy.
Co-founded by Cathy Palmer and Dr Les Sandles, How Now Dairy, whose farming practices are a first for Australia — materialised after Ms Palmer wanted to produce dairy products in a "kinder" way.
"When I found out the truth about conventional dairying — that half a million calves a year are slaughtered at five days old — I could not reconcile that with myself and I just figured if I am this passionate about it there's got to be more people like me who enjoy dairy products but feel there's got to be a kinder way."
Rather than the calves heading to an abattoir, they are raised by their mothers until they are fou — months old.
"In September 2016 our first calf was born, and we left them (mother and calf) alone for a couple of days and then Les carried the calf into the dairy with mum and milked mum and that was the start of How Now.
"That's the only cow we've taught the system to. She taught every other cow and they just naturally did it."
While the herd is now an all-female contingent, at the beginning, in 2016, this was not the case.
"We didn't have the money when we started," Ms Palmer said.
"We used beef bulls so then we have the boys and we'd grow them, and they would still go to meat from about three onwards.
"But now we are using sexed semen, so we only have females and the idea is that the girls will spend their time here, get weaned at an appropriate age, which is not two weeks—it's more like four months, and then they grow up on the farm."
Ms Palmer said the benefits to the animals' health from farming this way was obvious.
"It's absolutely astounding."

The basic security model of SQL consists of three entities: objects, actions, and users. Objects are defined in the database schema. In SQL'89, the objects are tables, views, columns of tables, and columns of views. In SQL'92, the objects also include domains and assertions. In SQL3, objects will include user defined constructs.
Actions are the operations performed on objects. Actions include: select, insert, delete, update, and references. Users invoke actions on objects.
The grantor is a user who is authorized to perform the action on object and who is authorized to grant the authorization to perform the action on object to other users. The grantee is the user who receives the authorization to perform action on object from the grantor. The true/false flag grantable indicates whether the grantee is authorized to pass the authorization for performing action on object to other users.
At object creation time, a user is designated as the owner of the object. An owner is authorized to perform all actions on the object and to grant privilege to other users. No user, other than the owner, may perform any action on the object unless that privilege is granted by the owner or by a another user to whom the owner granted the privilege. The owner of the object, or another user granted that privilege by the owner, may revoke the privilege at any time. At that time, the privilege is revoked for the grantee and for any user which obtained the privilege from the grantee.


Happy Sunday mamas! If I look like I'm in pain in the image above, it's because Emma loves to pull my hair. She's a little ninja of torture these days, but I wouldn't have it any other way, lol!
I wanted to hop on here and get a quick blog post up. I was a little short on them last week, and the idea came to me just a few minutes ago. I'm reading two incredible books right now, Breathe Mama Breathe & Grace, Not Perfection. They are seriously great books, and they have helped me get centered & get back on track. I felt like I was sort of spinning out of control recently (too much on my plate), and I needed to take a step back and re-evaluate some things.
So today I wanted to share 5 ways to prep for a successful week as a busy mom! I find that when I do these 5 things on Sunday, I have a WAY better week than if I don't. I hope that you're able to use some of these tips today, so that you can have a successful week ahead!
For me to have a successful week, I feel like I need to have a well rested Sunday. Take some time to "refill your tank" before you jump into a busy week. For me, that meant hanging out with some new friends this morning, making banana bread with Noah, reading, and eventually (after the kiddos are in bed) relaxing in a bubble bath. Do something for yourself on Sunday. Go outside and take a walk. Take a yoga class. Spend some time with your family at the park. Do something that "fills your tank" and makes you happy.
I like to make a list on Sundays for everything I need to get done on Monday. I basically dump everything from my brain onto paper. I put the piece of paper on the counter next to my computer so I can see it the next morning. That way I am prepared to take on the week when Monday morning comes, and I already know what I have to do. I don't wake up feeling anxious and unprepared.
We went to the store this morning before we stopped at our friends house. We picked up some essentials that we will need for the week. There's nothing worse than waking up on Monday morning and not having your breakfast ingredients. I make the same thing for breakfast every morning. That way there's no question on what to make. I don't waste time staring into the refrigerator trying to think of something to make. This also helps me to eat healthier throughout the week.
Take time to enjoy your kiddos on Sunday, and don't worry about cleaning up until later in the evening. After they go to bed, pick up the toys, and straighten up. Make sure to load the dishes & run the dishwasher so you can wake up to a clean kitchen. I don't put the toys away every single night, because some nights I'm just way too exhausted. But on Sunday's I like to have everything put away. When I come downstairs in the morning I feel happy seeing a clean space. This makes my mind less cluttered, and I feel ready for the week. You can even set a timer for 10 minutes once you start cleaning. You will be amazed at how much cleaning you can get done in 10 minutes!
Going to bed early is really important to me. Emma typically sleeps through the night, but sometimes she doesn't. So if I stay up late, I'm going to regret it. Plus, I need my sleep (I'm a huge fan of sleep). I also like to put my phone away on Sunday evenings, and pick up a book instead. Reading right before I go to sleep is so relaxing, and it puts me in a good mood. If I look at my phone before bed, I end up opening Instagram and then my mind gets sucked back into work mode. I'll check my email, and realize there's something I forgot to do, and that totally disrupts my calm time before bed. It actually makes me stay up later, and then I get less sleep. I like to plug my phone into my charger and turn it upside down. That way I don't see any notifications come through, and I just focus on my book.
I hope that this helps you prep for a successful week! If you have anymore tips feel free to leave them in the comments for other mamas below! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Oh… and did you check out the new Opalhouse line at Target??? SO dang cute! I rounded up my favorites HERE.
Such great tips! I love the idea of just dumping everything on to a piece of paper that you need to get done on Monday.
Yes! For some reason it's so therapeutic for me to do this!
I need to read those books! I keep hearing about them, especially Grace Not Perfection.
Yes, they are SO good, and so helpful. I actually keep them on my nightstand now!

Greg Abbott, sworn in for second term, says Texas must reward teachers, schools that achieve results
Filed under Texas Politics at Jan 15
Robert T. Garrett, Austin Bureau chief
Connect with Robert T. Garrett
Updated at 12:15 p.m.: Revised to include details of Gov. Greg Abbott's inaugural address.
AUSTIN — Texas has achieved great things in agriculture, technology, energy, exports and finance, but it has "only climbed to the foothills of what we can become" if the state can improve education, public safety and hurricane preparedness, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday as he took the oath of office for a second term.
Oh, yes, and restrain property taxes.
In his second, 19-minute inaugural address, delivered amid sprinkles of rain under cloudy skies from a makeshift portico on the north steps of the state Capitol, Abbott boasted that many Americans envy Texas' economic success.
However, leavening braggadocio with humility, he warned fellow Texans against complacency.
"No doubt Texas has reached an unrivaled economic summit," he said. "But from that perch, it is clear that too many young Texans have difficulty on their own journey to prosperity. Holding them back is an education system that's not adequate to put our students on the path to excellence they deserve."
Will Gov. Greg Abbott be back for a third term, or does he have national aspirations?
Abbott and other state GOP leaders have said overhauling school finance and restraining increases in property taxes are their top aims in the legislative session that began last week.
Abbott devoted much of his speech to describing how the state should spend more on public schools — he didn't say how much — to give administrators and educators incentives to lift poor and English-language-learner students' performance. But "we must reward teachers and school districts that achieve results," he said.
Abbott, 61, has disavowed designs on serving in a GOP president's Cabinet, being a vice presidential running mate or even seeking the presidency. For now, aides have signaled no plan for him to deviate from being Texas' chief executive, and possibly seek a third term in 2022.
Republicans have controlled the governorship in Texas for 24 years.
But many are chastened by their party's spotty showing in November's midterm elections, when Democrats came within 3 percentage points of knocking off a U.S. senator and gained a dozen Texas House seats, two seats in the state Senate and a host of state appellate judgeships and local offices in the most populous urban and suburban counties.

Abbott's speech — and interviews with GOP diehards who attended his and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's inaugural ceremony — underscored a new resolve to satisfy critics who say the party's been in the thrall of its most staunchly conservative activists. State Republican elected officials have spent much of their energy and passion in recent sessions fighting over culture war and hot-button issues such as transgender Texans' bathroom use, immigration and private-school vouchers.
Republican Rep. Justin Holland, R-Heath, said there's a new tone in Austin, brought about in part by GOP losses in the 2018 midterm elections.
"Seems like there was a memo sent out," Holland joked about the consensus that lawmakers should tackle school funding and property tax relief.
"The last election was an eye-opening experience for a lot of us," he said. "We know we have to work together."
Rep. Matt Shaheen, a Plano Republican who narrowly got past a Democratic opponent in red Collin County, agreed that lawmakers were listening to voters.
"They are setting the tone," he said of voters. "We always listen to our constituents."
Rep. Victoria Neave, D-Dallas, said she would welcome bipartisanship.
"I'm hopeful that this tone we're hearing means that they want to work together," she said.
'Absolute musts': Abbott says lawmakers have to limit property tax hikes, fix Texas school funding
Abbott vowed to lead the Legislature, where the GOP still holds solid majorities in both chambers, to improve school safety after the gun massacre last May at Santa Fe High. Leaders should also do "more to crack down on human trafficking and the dangerous gangs promoting it," he said.
Without offering specifics, he called for doing "more to advance our universities" and, after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, "to help our coastal region become more resilient to catastrophic storms."
But the bulk of his address pitched school improvements. As has been true since he selected former Dallas ISD trustee Mike Morath as commissioner of education in 2016, that meant talking a lot about DISD improvements.
The district had 43 failing campuses five years ago, Abbott noted. "Today, they have just four."

Titche Elementary offers an object lesson in turnaround, on both academics and student discipline, Abbott said.
"A new principal was hired," he recounted. "And he brought in highly rated teachers and set clear standards for the students. He added people and policies that improved student success."
Of the Dallas system's 145 elementaries, Titche has risen to second-best, from 132nd, Abbott said.

Pivoting to property taxes, Abbott cautioned that they are thwarting young adults' "dream of home ownership," punishing seniors on fixed incomes and forcing "middle- and low-income Texans out of their neighborhoods."
"This session, we must finally rein in skyrocketing property taxes in Texas," Abbott said to applause. He has proposed, though he didn't mention it beyond a brief nod, a 2.5-percent annual cap on the growth of property-tax revenue for school districts, cities, counties and other taxing jurisdictions. Proponents of local control are already pushing back, and many Democrats and education groups have questioned the emphasis on tax relief in a session Abbott is dedicating to school improvements.
"Some cynics say that we can't solve these intractable problems," Abbott said of school finance and taxes. "They are too expensive. Too complex. Too political. Too hard. The cynics forget the legendary Texas resolve."
He invoked Texans who fought for independence from Mexico, and modern-day Texans who survived "oil booms and busts ... dust bowls and devastating floods [and] windstorms and billowing fires."
"Generation after generation, Texans have been tested," he said. "And Texans have always prevailed."
At the ceremony, the band from Abbott's alma mater, Duncanville High, played. Boy Scouts from Troop 201 in Longview, to which Abbott belonged as a youth, led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
During his remarks, Patrick asked actor Chuck Norris and retired astronaut Walter Cunningham of the Apollo 7 mission to stand. Underscoring leaders' determination to fix education, Patrick used his speech to announce that Senate leaders are proposing a $5,000 across-the-board pay raise for teachers — the first in 20 years, he said.

Q: Delphi GetHostByName equivalent for firemonkey? Is there any GetHostByName equivalent for firemonkey, which works for Desktop Win32/Win64/Mac?

A: Look into System.Net.Socket and you find TIPAddress.LookupName which has the implementation you are looking for. On Posix it calls gethostbyname from Posix.NetDB.

A: If you use Indy, its cross-platform TIdStack interface has public ResolveHost() and HostByName() methods (where ResolveHost() calls HostByName() for input that is not already an IP address).  HostByName() internally uses either getaddrinfo() or gethostbyname(), depending on platform.
The caveat, however, is that such platform functions return a list of IP addresses that can have more than one IP in it, but ResolveHost()/HostByName() currently only return the first IP in the list.  If you needed the full list, you would have to drop down to the platform layer and call the socket functions directly.

There is nothing in the world that I hate more than crying. And feeling stuffy but crying comes naturally to me. Just as naturally as feeling sleepy which requires no stimulus really. My biggest stimulus to be able to cry is me with a good memory. You don't have to do a thing. On bad days, I can wake up crying and go on for hours together and nobody, including me can tell you why I am crying. You know how articles on thought catalog claim that crying actually helps reduce stress. Buggers are lying. Crying has never helped me. It has made things go from bad to 'I want to kill myself – bad'. It makes me a huge drama queen. Not because I can cry and I do but because I cry about every damn thing. I cry when somebody I am fond of yells at me, I cry when I find out that I have hurt them, I cry when they do a nice thing for me, unexpectedly or otherwise, I cry when I am incredibly happy, I cry when I am at peace, I cry when I am in love. My tears are guaranteed to make guest appearances at all kinds of occasions.
I knew I could cry easily even before I discovered the many irritating attentions that it pulls- from self and others. I cannot help but feel that longish, frustrating kind of guilt soon after I am through crying. Guilt comes just as naturally as tears. I feel guilty about having cried in front of people and embarrassing them. I feel guilty for forcefully demanding that kind of attention. I have tried, believe me, to see what is it about that heaviness that just has to come out no matter how hard I bite my lips and try to yawn to keep from bawling. The throat gets all weird and swallowing doesn't help. My eyes go as wide as they can in the hope that the tears dry up in the eye balls or whatever part it is that they are threatening to come out from. I look away, fiddle with whatever entity is in front of me. Usually, it's my bag, mobile, a book or a spoon.
Once, I touched an animal. A cat. I am not big on animal touching or petting but I did it that day because I didn't find a spoon or whatever and I was in a public place. Have no idea how the cat got there. All I remember is that I was going to cry and my throat was heavy so I picked it up, put it on my lap and started petting it. I didn't realise that this thing was on my lap until it got bored and leaped out of my lap leaving me curious more than anything. Still wasn't enough to distract me from the waterworks that were beginning to shower.
Anyway, I have found that yawning and pretending to yawn are major rescuers when I want to hold from crying. The yawning helps me beautifully. I have gotten out of many crying sprees from just pretending to yawn and then quickly thinking of something funny.
Why am I writing about crying?
It was a choice between my 16 year old self in love and this so I chose this.


Research and development can no longer be the exclusive domain of scientists. To find sustainable solutions to development problems, a wider range of actors must be involved. It is crucial, for example, that local stakeholders provide input to the process. Participatory research and development (PR&D) offers such an inclusive model. This three-volume sourcebook provides easy access to field-tested PR&D concepts and practices for practitioners, researchers, and academic. As well, it presents a comprehensive overview of PR&D and will serve as a general reference for trainers, policymakers, donors, and development professionals. The sourcebook captures and examines PR&D experiences from over 30 countries, illustrating applications in sustainable crop and animal production, forest and watershed management, soil and water conservation, and postharvest and utilization.
Presents encounters with rural men and women in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries working for local and national governments and for non-governmental organizations. This book includes six case studies that highlight the diversity of efforts to integrate social and gender analysis into natural resource management research.
Robert Chambers returns with a new book that reviews, together for the first time, some of the revolutionary changes in the methodologies and methods of development inquiry that have occurred in the past forty years, and reflects on their transformative potential for the future. This book breaks new ground by describing and analysing the evolution of a sequence of approaches. Starting with the dinosaurs of large-scale multi-subject questionnaire surveys, and the biased visits and perceptions of rural development tourism and urban-based professionals, there follows a look at the explosive proliferation of methodologies and methods of recent years. These include rapid rural appraisal (RRA) participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and dramatic developments in the still largely unrecognized fields of participatory numbers and statistics, and of participatory mapping and GIS. Chambers shows how these can empower local people and provide rigorous and valid substitutes for some more traditional methods of inquiry. Also presented is a repertoire for offsetting the biases of the urban trap, which has become so serious for officials and aid agency staff. Importantly, Chambers points out that we are now in a different space, methodologically, from a few years ago. He makes the case that participatory methodologies, evolved through creative and eclectic pluralism, can be a transformative wave for the future as drivers of personal, professional and institutional change. This book is for all who are concerned with development, regardless of profession, discipline or organization, who seek to be abreast of the revolutionary breakthroughs in approaches and methods of inquiry of recent years, and what Chambers calls their 'unlimited potentials'. Published with IDS.
This book focuses on the previously neglected interface between the conservation of plant genetic resources and their utilization. Only through utilization can the potential value of conserved genetic resources be realized. However, as this book shows, much conserved germplan has to be subjected to long term pre-breeding and genetic enhancement before it can be used in plant breeding programs. The authors explore the rationale and approaches for such pre-breeding efforts as the basis for broadening the genetic bases of crop production. Examples from a range of major food crops are presented and issues are analyzed by leading authorities from around the world.

Q: 100% width with div displayed as table-cell I have been trying to figure out how to format a list that has elements (in my case buttons) on the sides. The major problem that I have had is that I do not want the list text to wrap around the buttons, I want it to behave more like a table; text should not wrap into other columns. To complicate things a little further, I do not necessarily know the sizes of the 'Side Elements' in advance.
This is the code I came up with:

            List Text

JSFiddle
I have tried this on Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer and it seems to work fine. However, I am still concerned because I do not entirely understand why this works (and I do not like using code that I do not understand). My concern is with width: 100%. Shouldn't this specify that the cell should take up the entire parent, rather than all the space available in that row?
Ultimately, my question is this: Can I trust using width: 100% like this? Is this an appropriate way of solving my problem?

A:
Ultimately, my question is this: Can I trust using width: 100% like this? Is this an appropriate way of solving my problem?

Yes, you can.
Tables are funny that way...when a cell is given a width of 100% it just means take up as much space as you can out of what is left.
So you've already allocated some of the 100% of the parent so the middle div just grabs what's left.

For what it's worth...a `flex-box alternative:

.row {
  display: flex;
  margin-bottom: .5em;
}
.row div {
  padding-left: 5px;
  padding-right: 5px;
}
.row div:first-child {
  flex-basis: 55px;
}
.row div:nth-child(2) {
  flex: 1;
}
.row div:last-child {
  flex-basis: 35px;
}

This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long.

JSfiddle Demo

A: when you are mixing both absolute and relative measurements, its good to use calc() function. So the width of the middle element will be,
width: calc(100% - 90px)
100% being the full width of parent and 90px being the absolute measurements with you are excluding (55px + 35px).
Browser will automatically compute the actual width of the element based on the parent width (which is the available width minus 90px). Directly giving 100% is not the correct way, imho.

A: The width of a table-cell depends upon its content. The cells will expand based on their content unless table-layout: fixed is given on the table.
Instead of using tables you can use floats for example follow this link http://jsfiddle.net/osha90/e57dja5u/

        This text is not too long

        This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very       long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long. This text is very long.

.clearfix:after,.clearfix:before{
   content: "";
   clear: both;
   display: block;
}

A: Because table rows can't wrap, table cell with 100% width will force the cell to occupy as much space as he can. You other two cell have fixed width, because their content have a fixed width, and the a table cell minimum width is the one required to display the content. This means that the 100% width actual width is 100% - the two fixed cell.

Based out of Louisville, Ky., My Hope And Healing was a self-inspired, vision-turned-reality for Cheryl Williams, a Stage IV uterine cancer survivor. A long-time Kentucky resident, Cheryl got the idea during her time of illness when she asked a friend to make her a prayer cloth and blanket with healing scriptures.
Seeking further inspiration, Cheryl came to own a blanket with similar scriptures inscribed, allowing her to feel completely covered in hope and healing by the mighty grace of God. The prayer cloth and blanket became such powerful witness tools that Cheryl's nurses would not start treatment until her "healing" drugs were covered in God's Word.
Hope and healing soon followed, with Cheryl enduring three operations and completing her treatment on May 1, 2008. As a witness and beneficiary of the Lord's power, her 10-year "Healabration" is May 1, 2018.
Cheryl's celebration of life and eternal gratitude to God for giving her strength, encouragement and wisdom during her cancer treatments inspired her to help others who are experiencing or have experienced similar battles with cancer. Consequently, she decided to offer prayer cloths and scripture blankets to cancer patients worldwide for physical, mental and spiritual encouragement. The result was My Hope And Healing.
The meaning behind the logo is as the 'stone' of our hearts gives way to fresh new life in Christ, we begin to live fully from our heart which is a level of healing only found in Him.
Cheryl loves the Word but these verses hold a special place in her heart. She hopes you find comfort in them as well.
It is Cheryl's hope that these inspiring prayer cloths and scripture blankets offer hope and encouragement to those enduring treatment and facing uncertainty in their lives. Having survived cancer and completed a course with the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches, she firmly believes that through the grace of God and His beautiful Word, we can win all of our battles, first and foremost, in the mind.

Die Witjas (, "Ritter" oder "Recke"; englische Transkription Vityaz) ist ein ehemaliges Frachtschiff, das im August 1939 als Mars von der Deschimag im Wesermünder Werk Seebeck für die Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft "Neptun" in Bremen gebaut wurde.

Geschichte
Als Mars von der Neptun-Linie bestellt und mit der Baunummer 614 vom Stapel gelassen, wurde das Schiff im August 1939 auf der Seebeckwerft fertiggestellt und von seiner Reederei zunächst zum Transport von Früchten aus Spanien eingesetzt. Im Jahr 1940 wurde die Mars von der Kriegsmarine beschlagnahmt, im selben Jahr an den Eigner zurückgegeben, aber im Jahr 1942 erneut beschlagnahmt und bis Kriegsende für Transportaufgaben im Ostseeraum eingesetzt. Im Dezember 1943 wurde das Schiff bei einem Luftangriff auf Bremen beschädigt, aber später wieder repariert. Gegen Kriegsende rettete es bei den Verwundeten- und Flüchtlingstransporten ab Ende 1944 geschätzte 20.000 Menschen vor der vorrückenden Roten Armee. Die Mars war das letzte Schiff, das am 14. April 1945 den eingekesselten Hafen von Pillau mit etwa 4000 Flüchtlingen in Richtung Kopenhagen verließ.

Bei Kriegsende im Mai 1945 wurde die in Kopenhagen liegende Mars vom britischen Ministry of War Transport beschlagnahmt und als Empire Forth aufgelegt.

1946 wurde das Schiff an die Sowjetregierung übergeben und nach der Umbenennung in  (, "Äquator") mit der Nummer M-582 zunächst als Ausbildungsschiff betrieben. 1948 erfolgte eine weitere Umbenennung in .

Bis 1949 wurde die Witjas in Wismar zum Forschungsschiff umgerüstet. Nach einer Erprobung im Schwarzen Meer lief das Schiff zu seiner ersten Forschungsfahrt in das Japanische, Ochotskische und das Beringmeer aus. Während der Reise im Verlauf des Internationalen Geophysikalischen Jahres 1957 wurde das nach dem Schiff benannte Witjastief 1 im Marianengraben entdeckt, das mit 11.034 m die tiefste bekannte Stelle des Weltmeeres darstellt. Im Mai 1959 ankerte das Schiff bei einer Tiefe von 9600 Metern im Marianengraben. Bei den Forschungsreisen, die das Schiff vorwiegend in den Pazifik führten, wurden die Manganknollen auf dem Meeresgrund entdeckt und erforscht. Nach 65 Forschungsreisen, auf denen mehr als eine Million Seemeilen (fast zwei Millionen Kilometer) zurückgelegt wurden, erfolgte 1979 die Außerdienststellung des Schiffes.

Die Witjas als Museumsschiff
Nach einer längeren Liegezeit legte man die Witjas schließlich ab 1981/82 als Museumsschiff auf.
Nachdem man die Witjas in den Jahren 1991 bis 1994 in der Ostseewerft Jantar, der früheren Königsberger Niederlassung der Elbinger Schichau-Werft, überholt und für den weiteren Museumseinsatz vorbereitet hatte, wird sie seit dem 12. April 1995 im Kaliningrader Museum der Weltmeere ausgestellt.
