Some extracts from the Letter by the Australian Bishops: Catholic Church plans national response to bushfire crisis.
"……The bishops are aware of the huge amount being done around the nation, led by governments and first responders. Many local faith communities, including Catholic parishes and organisations, and inter-religious coalitions, are also making a big contribution. While the bishops typically respond to challenges at a parish or diocesan level, the scale of this crisis requires a national response from the whole Church to complement and coordinate what is happening locally……
Our experts on the ground – from agencies like St Vincent De Paul, and CatholicCare, in parishes and other Catholic communities, including Catholic hospitals and aged care providers – know this will be a long-term process to help people and whole towns rebuild. With broad and deep roots across the nation, the Church stands ready to walk alongside people throughout their journey of recovery.

A pilgrimage of prayer supported by Catholic Missions.
The relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux, one of the most popular saints of modern times, will visit Australia next year on a four-month pilgrimage with those of her parents, saints Louis and Zelie Martin who were canonised in 2009. Within the itinerary for the Wollongong Diocese, we are delighted that according to the suggested timetable, St Michael's will be included for the afternoon of Monday March 23rd.
People with Coeliac are advised there is a suitable Communion Host available for them in our churches. The host is placed in a pyx on the altar for consecration and is kept separate from regular hosts in the ciborium at the time of distribution. All you need to do is tell Father before Mass and he will see that your host is available for you to receive. If you would like more information, please contact Patricia Bourke 0433 509 636.

WHAT IS DRUMS ON THE OHIO ALL ABOUT?
DRUMS on the OHIO is a drum corps show that is held in Evansville, Indiana each summer in the Reitz Bowl at F.J. Reitz High School on Evansville's West Side. The show has existed for over 40 years and is one of the longest running "mom and pop" drum corps shows on the Drum Corps International tour circuit. For nearly a half century, Drum Corps International (DCI), Marching Music's Major League™, has been the leader in producing events for the world's most elite and exclusive marching ensembles for student musicians and performers. Currently there are over 45 drum corps in DCI who are from all regions of the US and tour during the summer — starting at the end of June and ending in August at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana.
DRUMS on the OHIO has an extensive history dating to 1978, with many thanks to the Evansville Civitan Club. They sponsored not only the show, but also the Evansville-based Imperial Guard Drum and Bugle Corps, which existed from 1980-1982. The Civitan-sponsored show ran for 30 years and took a brief hiatus. In 2013, members and friends of the F.J. Reitz Instrumental Music Boosters began producing the show, restoring the event to its former success, and attracting enthusiastic audiences of over 3,500 to Reitz Bowl since 2013. DRUMS on the OHIO is the only Drum Corps show within a 100 mile radius of Evansville.
Individuals who are members of visiting drum and bugle corps all started as young musicians in local communities like ours. The mission of DRUMS on the OHIO is to bring Drum Corps to Evansville while supporting youth activities in music education and performing arts throughout the Tri-State. Our organization provides outreach opportunities, contributes funds to local instrumental music programs and provides valuable scholarships to individuals from our area that join DCI corps, advancing their music careers.
The Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation and other local school corporations show tremendous support to our event by providing housing and rehearsal sites to visiting corps. This allows students to attend rehearsals and observe the discipline, dedication, and perseverance that all attending corps members exemplify. In addition, DRUMS on the OHIO offers several community outreach programs that move forward our mission. Those activities offer middle school and high school students the opportunity to have experiences that would not otherwise be available if not for this event. Our goal is to continue to grow our outreach initiatives with the help of our partners in music and music education.


Every now and then, I think it's helpful to reevaluate prior assumptions about the basics of vermicomposting. There's no one way to do worm composting correctly for all situations, and if there was, nobody has written a book on how to do it just yet.
One of these assumptions is about the correct moisture level within our worm bins. And I am getting the feeling that the conventional wisdom is leading us to keep things a little too wet.
Does vermicompost really need to have anywhere close to an 80% water content?
I'm making worm castings, but are those castings a little muddy?
Why Are Most Worm Bins Too Wet?
While this article won't give you a hard number that you're looking for in terms of moisture content, I want to bring up the probability that most worm bins are simply too wet.
There are a few reasons for this, in my opinion.
We know that worms breathe through their skin and that a certain level of moisture is required to transfer oxygen through the skin. One vote for keeping the bin wet!
Most home vermicomposters are feeding food waste to their worms, often without adding fresh bedding. As this food waste tends to be fruit and vegetables, it means a food waste with water content much greater than 80%, even 90% in some cases.
The presence of a tap to release leachate on stackable worm farms like the Worm Factory 360 has given some people the impression that leachate is a desirable byproduct of vermicomposting, when in fact, it is a sign that a worm bin is too wet. And yes, I know some people use leachate on their plants. But the presence of leachate indicates that a worm bin either has 1) excess total moisture, or 2) moisture that has been added too quickly, not allowing the bedding and substrate in the worm bin sufficient time to absorb the influx of water.
One interesting byproduct of designing and marketing the Urban Worm Bag is the ways I have learned that some people do worm composting, revealing some lessons for me about some of the limitations of my own product. It was a failure of imagination for me not to consider that people would place them in their yards, on driveways or porches, which would place stress on the frame.
But it was also a bit of a wakeup call to hear that people wondered how to catch the leachate (which most of them referenced incorrectly as "worm tea") that they were intentionally trying to create with the Urban Worm Bag.
Now, in my testing, I did intentionally overwater one of my Bags to the point of watching water stream out of the bottom zipper, which eventually gunked it up to the point that I realized that Version 2 (which is released, hooray!) needed to accommodate a much greater range of wetness.
In short, the excess moisture was making it very difficult and even impossible for some customers to open their zippers after a few months. Hence, the biggest upgrade from Version 1 to Version 2 is the addition of an interior fabric enclosure to better protect the bottom zipper from excess moisture and the grit associated with the vermicompost.
But it was also the positive feedback from customers who were having great experiences with Version 1 of the Urban Worm Bag, most of whom had not observed any leachate draining from the bottom. One of these earliest UWB users, my "Dirt Girlfriend" Heather Rinaldi of the Texas Worm Ranch sent me a video of both an easy harvest, but also a video of a very biologically-active vermicompost harvested from the Urban Worm Bag.
This made me very happy. And it made me wonder what would happen if I ran a much drier bin?
It's that her vermicompost in her commercial operation is drier than the vermicompost I've created myself and much drier than most of the worm bins I've seen on YouTube and other social media posts.
Her feedstock is mostly partially-precomposted waste from local landscaping and tree services with a mulch-y consistency, supplemented with juice bar waste. But this relatively dry vermicomposting process still results in worm castings that demonstrate high levels of biological activity that she constantly observes under a microscope.
Ideally, you maintain appropriate moisture throughout the entire vermicomposting process, or bring moisture levels to that "Goldilocks level" as soon as possible through good maintenance (like adding dry bedding).
Another example is my friend Gavin Newton who runs WormCycle, a small commercial operation near Detroit, Michigan. Gavin's process involves feeding composted horse manure into his Michigan SoilWorks CFTs. After his harvests, he dries his castings under a fan for 2-3 days, to achieve what he estimates is a 30-40% moisture content. This allows it to run more easily through a Brockwood Worm Shifter, a nifty elevated table on wheels that shakes vermicompost down a fine mesh decline. The result for WormCycle is a very fine, somewhat dry worm cast.
But Gavin is interested in the biology of his vermicompost as well. And in a blind test of WormCycle's worm castings plus 3 other well-known brands (conducted by Nina Folch of Microbes in My Soil), WormCycle's castings demonstrated far higher amounts of microbe colonization than the other brands.
I also recently spoke with Cristy Christie of Black Diamond Vermicompost about her vermicompost, both pre- and post-harvest. She has a fairly sophisticated watering system at her Paso Robles, CA location but is extremely careful not to let her vermicompost get too wet.
Cristy uses continuous flow through systems, and at first thought you might think that a wetness problem would just take care of itself as the leachate would work its way through the vermicompost, through the mesh bottom, and down to the floor below. But she says that a wet CFT means that the worms will "follow the water," resulting in not only muddy castings at harvest time, but many more worms in the harvest than she desires.
Ultimately, Cristy wants to get her castings down to a 35% water content before bagging.
A windrow vermicomposting system at one of Aldera Verde Lombricultura's smaller facilities.
My friend Francisco Niembro of Aldea Verde Lombricultura installs absolutely enormous vermicomposting operations for organic waste producers in Mexico as well as operating two large facilities under the Aldea Verde name. Using a simple windrow system for vermicompost, Francisco estimates his beds are roughly 40-60% water content.
Francisco also stresses that worm compost must be applied with a mist or a fine spray rather than poured water. Francisco sent along the video of the automatic misting system at one of his locations. Notice how finely the water is applied. There's really not much being applied, but the added water is applied very evenly.
While most of us have no need for a watering system like this it should at least drive home the point that our vermicomposts do not need to be saturated in order to be moist enough.
So in the end, Texas Worm Ranch, Worm Cycle, Black Diamond, and Aldea Verde are all very aware of keeping the operations within a reasonable moisture range, which I guarantee is far less than 80%…..and most likely 60% on the high end.
And they are all sticklers for maintaining the biology in their vermicompost and/or worm castings.
Lessening the Moisture in Your Worm Bin: Wanna Give It a Shot?
If things are going well for you, don't worry about trying anything new. But if you're curious if your worm bin could withstand a little less moisture, it may be worth giving this a shot.
add dry bedding every time you feed water-laden foods like watermelon, honeydew, canteloupe, etc.
add dry bedding every other time you feed with less water-laden waste like broccoli or cauliflower waste.
if your worm bin needs more moisture, especially for those of you in arid climates, add water to your bins by spraying or spritzing, not pouring water into your bin.
if you have an enclosed bin and are confident your worms will not try to escape, leave your bin uncovered for a day or two.
Here is a hack suggested by a reader named Mark, that I find soooooo intriguing and so simple that I am tempted to add the feature to a future version of the Urban Worm Bag. Frankly, I'm a little shamed I didn't think of it myself!
To wick out excess moisture, simply add a dry cotton or nylon rope into your worm bin with one end of it finding its way outside of the bin. (Nylon is better as it won't be a good host for nasty bacteria!) Preferably, the rope's end will be at the bottom of the bin where it is likely to be the most wet.
The other end just needs to be outside your bin; it could exit the bin through the top, the bottom, the side, or wherever makes sense. And to make sure you don't get any unwanted moisture where it does not belong, place the end of this rope into a jar or container of some sort.
Excess moisture will be absorbed by the rope and will constantly move to drier parts of the rope in order to seek a moisture equilibrium. While water will not drip uphill, it will most certainly wick uphill, which is why the wick could exit the bin literally anywhere.
As of the writing of this article, I ordered a plastic grommet kit from Amazon, installed one in the bottom part of my Urban Worm Bag and inserted a foot-long length of nylon rope through the bottom of the interior fabric enclosure (which comes with Version 2 of the Bag) and through the grommet in the bottom of the Bag.
I am quite surprised at the moisture that wick has pulled out of the Bag. More testing is underway, but this has been very promising so far!
So one thing I have neglected to mention thus far is how to accurately – and cheaply! – measure moisture in your worm bin. You could go with a cheap moisture testing probe, but I'll be honest with you….they are reliably unreliable. Maybe the new ones are better, but I think at the most simple level what you ought to try is to just run your bin a bit drier than you have so far.
And this will be a matter of feel. A common technique is to grab a representative sample of your vermicompost and squeeze it it your hands. If you can squeeze out just a few drops of water, then the conventional wisdom says that's just about right. But whether through a combination of more dry bedding, less watering, or even less feeding, see if you can make it even drier than this.
Are the worms any smaller?
Are they swarming food less noticeably?
Are they trying to escape?
Note: My experience tells me that worms will not typically roam away from a dry bin as even a relatively dry bin will be a swamp compared to what's outside of it.
Are you seeing less evidence of reproduction, aka cocoons and babies?
If the answer to all of these questions is "no," then you haven't hit bottom yet. Not that you need to continue any experiment beyond where you are comfortable, or even "hit bottom," but if you suspect that your bin that might be too wet, then the tips above may help.
What Has Your Experience Been with Worm Bin Wetness?
How has it been going for you? What have you experienced?
I'd love to hear what your experience is with this issue and what you did about it. I'm also all ears for any positive or negative feedback you have about this article. Extra points given for thoughtful responses!
And if you haven't signed up for the Urban Worm Company e-mail list, it's an excellent way to communicate with me. I've gotten to know so many of you through e-mail communication and it's also a great way for me to let you know about new blog posts, trip reports from places like the Vermiculture Conference, discounts on the Urban Worm Bag, etc.


" InSight is a powerful tool that can work on any mobile device and provide the InVenture team with an understanding of how to further help our clients grow and be successful," says Shivani Siroya, InVenture's CEO and Founder.
Developed on Intuit's txtWeb platform, micro-entrepreneurs are prompted to report their daily revenue and expenses via SMS to the InSight system. Data is tracked and analyzed by the InVenture team, and easy to understand reports are returned to the micro-entrepreneur so they can follow their growth. The data captured by InSight will also be made easily accessible by researchers, market analysts, and others interested in measuring the implications of small business growth on families living in poor communities.
Intuit's txtWeb team is working with NGOs and social enterprises that are using SMS to reach their constituents at the base of the pyramid.
The team believes that txtWeb can be a very useful platform for fast and inexpensive experiments using SMS, and that InVenture's InSight service represents a perfect opportunity to put its technology to the test.
"The beauty of InSight lies in its simplicity. The client responds to simple prompts and the responses are organized in such a way that allows organizations to easily access and analyze from anywhere in the world." says Rupesh Shah Corporate Sustainability Director of Intuit.
InSight will initially be rolled out to InVenture's partner organizations in India, with Mali and Mexico to follow soon after.


How to creating a linked workbook?
In sql reporting services, one can create a report and publish it in a folder. There after if the same report is needed by individuals who have access to a different folder but not the current folder, a link to this report can be created in the different folder such that any updates to the original report are translated to the linked copy automatically without administrative intervention.
Is there a way to link on workbook to another in tableau online without double publishing/copying?
1. Re: How to creating a linked workbook?
I had to redo folder permissions as follows for it to work.
1. MOST IMPORTANT. Removed all user groups permission settings from the default folder and Set all All users to none, none, none.
2. Locked permissions for each folders (folder contents set to have permissions of the folder). This had the downside of over writing permissions of some workbooks in their respective folders which needed a different permission setting as compared to the folder.
3. Set reasonable/scaleable permission settings for each folder.


Health ministry investigators are aware of more than two dozen so-called birth houses in B.C. offering pregnant foreign mothers temporary room and board before and after giving birth in local hospitals, according to Freedom of Information documents obtained by Postmedia. The baby houses, as they are called in Asia, are used by women seeking instant Canadian citizenship for their newborns.
There is a big problem brewing for both countries. Who is paying for the initial and future medical costs of these births, as well as the down-the-road educational costs and any social benefits these children may be entitled to?
To put the matter into sharp perspective, consider the recent story of a Honduran women who is believed to be the first foreign woman to have a Zika baby born in the New York area. Who exactly is to pay the estimated cost of treatment of this child that could amount to over $1 million? This problem could be even more acute in the Canadian context because the health care system there provides "free" coverage to all Canadian citizens.
In the U.S., as I have discussed before, "birth tourism" is a flourishing business. Pregnant women fly in, stay at special hotels and pay sometimes extraordinarily high costs for "concierge services" designed to facilitate the birth of their children. The benefit to the family is that the child is thereby eligible to claim U.S. social welfare, be educated at much lower cost and obtain certain medical benefits for life.
In Canada, the issue of birth tourism is also a source of concern. Like similar past American efforts, Kerry Starchuk from Richmond, B.C. launched an online petition to the House of Commons in June, 2016 calling on the federal government to stop granting citizenship to newborns unless one of the parents is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. The petition needed 500 votes to be considered by the House of Commons, but has gathered more than 8,ooo signatures to date.
An even more troublesome problem in the United States and particularly in Canada is surrogacy. Surrogacy, that is to say an American or Canadian woman having a child for foreigners who are unable to give birth, could become an explosive problem. Unlike in the U.S., where surrogacy rules are based on individual states – it's banned in NY but legal in California, for example – Canada as a whole is becoming a magnet for surrogacy for the following reasons: excellent in vitro fertilization clinics, legal equality of access to health care regardless of sexual orientation or marital status, obscure and vague laws on the subject and the low Canadian dollar.
While from a health and human rights perspective it may not be desirable to limit a surrogate's access to prenatal care, the question is who is going to pay for such care? If a surrogate is bearing a child for non-residents, shouldn't her medical costs be charged back to the non-resident commissioning parents? Should prenatal medical services in such cases be offered for a fee to be paid by foreign clients? Alternatively, should commissioning parents be required to make a charitable contribution to a local hospital or children's medical centre in order to gain access to medical care for their surrogate?
Anchor babies, birth tourism and surrogacy are pushing the envelope of citizenship rights in North America. People are rightfully becoming more concerned about those who take advantage of "free and easy" citizenship so that their children can benefit from social, educational and medical programs. The question is what should be done about it?
In my view, laws should be adopted to make the facilitation of birth tourism illegal with the confiscation of any money a person gains from such facilitation. Further, laws should be passed to require surrogate mothers to sign an agreement to be personally liable for all medical costs associated with the birth of a child of foreign parents and require foreign parents to post a bond to cover all foreseeable medical costs as part of the arrangement.

Q: fastest way to make a new column holding the k-trailing min of another column I have a python pandas DataFrame with very large columns.  For one of the columns (call it column A), I need the fast possible way to make a new column (call it column E) or separate series.  The elements of new column E are determined based on the values in column A.  In column E, each element is set by reference to the corresponding element of column A and  replacing it with the minimum of the element and the k values that preceded it in A.  I must iterate this process many times, so speed is my concern.
As an example, if k were equal to 2, and this were my data frame:
   A  B
 v 10 10
 w 4  8
 x 11  1
 y 9  22
 z 15 5

I would want to create the following column E based on column A
    E
 v  10
 w  4
 x  4
 y  4
 z  9

To simplify the problem, I could also except this result:
    E
 v  NaN
 w  NaN
 x  4
 y  4
 z  9

A: You can use pd.rolling_min and set window=k+1 to calculate the rolling minimum with a lookback window of k+1.
pd.rolling_min(df['A'], window=3)

v   NaN
w   NaN
x     4
y     4
z     9

Scam of the year a snip at $195
August 27, 2004 — 10.00am
Consumer Affairs Minister John Lenders has been asked to investigate a scam being run by a group called the American Biographical Institute after it told a Labor MP he would get a decree confirming his nomination as 2004 "man of the year" if he paid $US195 ($A276).
Mitcham MP Tony Robinson told Parliament on Wednesday night the institute had told him of his nomination for the award, which institute president J. M. Evans claimed was designed to "uplift the accomplishments of our fellow Americans".
"The task of choosing such a group from around the world is overwhelming to say the least," Mr Evans wrote. "The institute's international board of research decided on your nomination due to your overall accomplishments and contributions to society."
Mr Robinson said the institute invited him to send an extra $US100 to a North Carolina address if he wanted the deluxe version of his degree, "custom laminated in Finnish birch".
He told Parliament that while his nomination made him proud, he was unsure if it was for his 13 reserves games for an E-grade football club or because of his contribution to politics.
Speaking more seriously, Mr Robinson said it was important the people behind the scam be stopped from requesting Australians to send money for a meaningless award.
An internet search by The Age could not find a home site for the institute. But countless websites refer to people claiming to have received awards or nominations from it. Gambian President Yahya Jammeh lists on his official CV awards conferred by the institute, including a nomination for 1997 man of the year and a 1998 "gold record of achievement" award.
Mr Lenders said that while he did not doubt Mr Robinson's potential to be man of the year, it was important Victorians ignored such scams.
"It is very difficult to retrieve money from scams like this that are run overseas," he said. "This is a scam that is well known to Consumer Affairs Victoria."

Budget was the crux of John Laycock's student accommodation project.
His ability to remove inefficiency and the inessential rather than quality saved millions and brought the costed design within the budget. He got the planners onside early by eliminating piling for the 15 new-build blocks to minimise the impact on the archaeology. Once the cost cuts had made the scheme viable, he made the delivery work through canny methodology and materials choices, and fine planning.
When John Laycock first walked onto site to meet with a Poor Clare nun, he knew this project – which included a listed convent, a protected orchard and a graveyard that needed to be kept accessible throughout – would be special. .
Budget was the crux of the student accommodation project. With the costed design of £52m well beyond the client's initial £40m budget, something had to give. Thanks to John's adept management of a value-engineering exercise that left no stone unturned, what gave was inefficiency and the inessential rather than quality.
His value management wins included changing the zinc shingle cladding for the envelope and roofs of four of the blocks to timber-clad walls and a standing-seam roof, saving £1.2m largely by eliminating the need for an additional roof under the zinc to achieve watertightness. Replacing the English garden wall bond of the brickwork and reducing the protruding brick areas saved another £200,000. The glazed roof of the heritage building's internal courtyard was taken out, removing £1m from costs. A drainage design review and rationalisation brought another £250,000 saving. A full MEP review yielded £1.5m, and so on.
John got the planners onside in the early stages. He divided the bulk site dig into two stages, the first down to the level in the area the archaeologists wanted to investigate. During the three-week delay resulting from archaeological finds, he kept the client informed and worked tirelessly to reshuffle the work sequence, ensuring a perfectly punctual handover.
He decided on shallow raft foundations for the new-build blocks to mitigate the impact on the archaeology by eliminating piling. He reused the bricks from the demolition of existing buildings in providing additional supporting buttresses for the 5m-high listed and listing walls around the ex-convent.
Once the cost cuts had made the scheme viable, he made the delivery work through canny methodology and materials choices, and fine planning. He leveraged the raft slab by introducing lightweight steel frames. Manufactured off site and delivered as panels for on-site fabrication, the superstructure steel took the envelope off the critical path and gave early weather protection. The prefabricated bathroom pods and M&E plant brought similar benefits, along with a labour force reduction on a site closely surrounded by residential neighbours and with just a single point of access.


Drawing from a heritage that spans more than a decade, the latest incarnation of the Maximus series augments Intel's Z370 chipset with all the enhancements that enthusiasts crave. Each model sports a unique blend of features to cater to a distinct audience, yet the core ROG DNA ripples through the entire lineup. From overclocking and cooling options to satiate die-hard fanatics, to clean, refined aesthetics that are tastefully accented by RGB lighting, Maximus X-series motherboards bring the octane to your build.
The ROG Maximus X Hero is the best example of why I always recommend an ROG motherboard to my clients. With options for water pumps, flow meters, temp sensors and more, the Hero is more affordable than its elder siblings, but it doesn't compromise on quality and performance.
ROG's awesome SupremeFX audio technology has levelled up, delivering an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio on the line-in connection — and that means our best-ever recording quality! We've also added a low-dropout regulator for cleaner power delivery to the SupremeFX S1220 codec, an ESS® Sabre Hi-Fi ES9023P digital-to-analog converter for superior front-panel output, and a Texas Instruments® RC4850 op-amp for high gain with low distortion — which all adds up to audio that envelops you as never before.


TBM is installing the new telematics system TC Trailer Gateway, by idem telematics, a German brand of the prestigious BPW Group, in 300 trailers.
This system allows us to analyse the fleet's EBS data, such as mileage, cargo weight, the state of the brakes, alarms, temperature monitoring, rear door status, tyre pressure and geolocate and monitor all active tractor/trailer combinations at any given moment.
Analysing and processing that information will allow for a fleet optimization, thus providing a better response to our clients' needs.


Novelist Adds Fresh Perspective To Election Result Spin The morning after Election Day, David Greene talks to African-American novelist Attica Locke, author of three novels and a writer for the TV series Empire, for some perspective on the results.
The morning after Election Day, David Greene talks to African-American novelist Attica Locke, author of three novels and a writer for the TV series Empire, for some perspective on the results.
And let's listen to one more reaction this morning to yesterday's election results. We have Attica Locke on the line with us. She's a California novelist who often writes about black America. She's also a writer on the TV series "Empire." Good morning to you.
GREENE: So what are you thinking about this morning?
LOCKE: I'm not crushed. I'm awake to what my country is telling me. It is hard for me to not see this through the lens of race. I've always kind of considered racism to be America's original sin.
And so the incredible optimism I felt on the other side of Obama is dashed, that this really is a sense that this is a backlash to that. That there is a large segment of the population for whom having a black president was such an assault on their identity. That their reaction to it has no reason. It makes no logical sense.
GREENE: You really see this as a lot of Americans saying we weren't ready for a black president, did not want a black president? What exactly are you saying?
LOCKE: I think of it through the level of the psyche, I think in the sense that we are still in a patriarchy. Goodness gracious, didn't we see that yesterday? In the sense that the president is, like, the - a father of the nation or a man that we're meant to look up to. I think there's a large segment of white folks who could not take that, the idea that this person was above them in some way. I think it was very dislocating in terms of their sense of identity.
GREENE: ...Who were drawn to Barack Obama and reached a comfort level with him. And what changed over eight years?
LOCKE: Well, first of all, the man's presidency has been poisoned, you know, frankly, by voices from Fox News, by a Congress that would not engage with him, by Donald Trump himself claiming the president was not a citizen, you know. So clearly that starts to rub away at a foundational understanding of who Barack Obama really is and what he has really done for eight years. I don't think that certain people can quite even see it, if that makes any sense.
GREENE: Well, let me ask you this. Donald Trump in his speech earlier this morning said that he is going to be a president for all Americans. Are you open-minded? Are you prepared to look at him as your president?
LOCKE: No, God, no. I think he was on some good drugs last night that calmed him down. But the real Donald Trump will show up in a few months. I mean, there's no evidence to suggest that the man is able to focus, engage in a way that isn't, you know, out of control in a way that I wouldn't scold my 10-year-old daughter if she behaved that way.
GREENE: The Clinton campaign was very worried about African-American turnout.
GREENE: It seems like there was - the campaign really underperformed, especially compared to the turnout that Barack Obama saw. Do you think African-Americans failed to turn out for Hillary Clinton?
LOCKE: God, no. And I will daily stop that narrative. More white women showed up for Donald Trump than showed up for Hillary. So I wouldn't say that any way black folks underperformed. I would say white racists over-performed.
GREENE: And we should be careful here because there are many Trump supporters who I've spoken to over the years who would not consider themselves racists.
LOCKE: You know what though, David? I'm out with that. There's a part of me that honestly feels like that level of politeness, where we're not calling things what they are, is how we will never get forward. The fact of the matter is that you have to at best be able to tolerate racism in your president.
GREENE: OK. I'm afraid we're out of time. I wish we could talk much more. The novelist Attica Locke, thanks so much.
LOCKE: All right. Thank you for having me.

Give Hope
Welcome, Andrew!
Andrew Hedrich joined the Home of Hope Board of Directors this spring. This Gwinnett native and CPA at Smith+Howard CPAs and Advisors is one of four new members we welcomed to the team. We caught up with him not long ago and asked him to share his story — how he connected with Home of Hope, what he loves about serving and what he does when he's not working. Here's what he said.
How did you first hear about Home of Hope?
I was talking to my Business Development Director at work and specifically mentioned to him that I wanted to work with a Gwinnett County-specific nonprofit, having lived my first 21 years of my life there. I also mentioned to him that I wanted to work with a nonprofit that focused on social welfare, specifically the adoption or child care space considering we adopted in our family.
Within a couple of weeks, I was introduced to Maureen and had a meeting with her over the Winter Break in 2021 to gauge my fit in the organization.
What do you love about being part of Home of Hope so far?
I am still getting my feet wet with the reach the organization has, but there is a degree of care for the mission among the executive director and board members that is admirable. I have been reassured of my decision throughout every meeting I have attended.
How would you describe the difference Home of Hope makes in the lives of Gwinnett families?
Home of Hope provides a true opportunity for a family in need to receive a disciplined, instructive program aimed at transitioning their unit back to independent living.
What would you want others to know about Home of Hope?
The difference they are making is a holistic approach to family betterment and independence. This outreach is not a band-aid to temporarily solve a problem, but one that aims to deliver tools and opportunities to those in need.
What's your dream for Home of Hope?
[I want Home of Hope] to be seen as a leader in the Gwinnett community for educating the whole family while providing a real sense of place in their individual lives and community.
What can you tell us about you: your work background, family, hobbies, etc.
I'm a graduate of Georgia Tech and a CPA. I'm one of five children and my family all still live in Georgia. My wife and I live south of the perimeter of I-85 with our two pets in our first home.
Professionally, I joined Smith and Howard in 2014 as an intern and am a manager in the tax practice now. My main focus is on the firm's Professional Service and Nonprofit groups, specializing in law firms and private schools.
When I'm not working, I love watching movies. I watch over 100 newly released films each year. I also travel to New York each year to watch Broadway shows.
Fun fact: I was a part of the Atlanta Boy Choir from third grade to sixth grade and traveled to Austria/Germany for a concert tour.
Stay up to date with Home of Hope!

Adhesive high-level replacement (HLR) systems have been recently introduced as a new categorical framework for graph tranformation in the double pushout (DPO) approach. They combine the well-known concept of HLR systems with the concept of adhesive categories introduced by Lack and Sobociński.
While graphs, typed graphs, attributed graphs and several other variants of graphs together with corresponding morphisms are adhesive HLR categories, such that the categorical framework of adhesive HLR systems can be applied, this has been claimed also for Petri nets. In this paper we show that this claim is wrong for place/transition nets and algebraic high-level nets, although several results of the theory for adhesive HLR systems are known to be true for the corresponding Petri net transformation systems.
In fact, we are able to define a weaker version of adhesive HLR categories, called weak adhesive HLR categories, which is still sufficient to show all the results known for adhesive HLR systems. This concept includes not only all kinds of graphs mentioned above, but also place/transition nets, algebraic high-level nets and several other kinds of Petri nets. For this reason weak adhesive HLR systems can be seen as a unifying framework for graph and Petri net transformations.

Oilfield Contractor Benefits From Big Blue 302s Great Arc Quality
Oilfield Contractor Benefits From Big Blue 302's Great Arc Quality
When General Manager Randy Aulds saw that his old DC generator-type welding machines were spending too much time in the maintenance shop, he knew the smart business decision meant trying new equipment. This included the new Big Blue® 302 welding generator and Mark series of multiple-arc power sources from Miller Electric. These welding machines provide reliable service in rugged environments, improve economics and have an arc quality that satisfies even finicky pipe welding professionals.
Crown Oilfield Services slashes brush replacement cost and avoids machine breakdowns in corrosive air.
Welding is an art, but when it comes to selecting and maintaining welding machines, Crown Oilfield Services is all business.
Based in Bayou Vista, Louisiana, Crown provides the oilfield industry with onshore and offshore fabrication and maintenance services. Typical shop work for its 35 operators includes welding spool pipe, interconnect piping for separators, heat exchangers and compressor packages, small caisson decks, boat bumpers, heliports and crane bases. From its dockside loading on Tech Bayou, which connects to the Intercoastal Waterway, the company transports these components to the Gulf of Mexico. At any given time, 100 to 200 Crown operators are welding tie-ins for compressors, fabricating items like framework for safety capsules or performing maintenance welding on mobile drilling rigs.
Until recently, Crown exclusively used traditional DC generator engine drives for all its offshore work. However, in the highly corrosive and humid Gulf environment, Aulds says "we'd often run into problems with older DC generators that would shut the machines down. They'd work great in our yard after maintenance, but it seemed like three days offshore in the salt air would cause something else to go wrong. The brushes or armature would be worn or the wiring brittle. The customer has a hard time understanding these problems. He's paying for a man and a machine. And when we have a broken machine on a platform, we're at the mercy of the crew boat's schedule or hiring a workboat to make a special run. The customers want something that's going to give them better service."
Lowering Maintenance Costs
Throughout their years of service, Crown performed routine maintenance on all its DC generators. In fact, maintaining welding machines is a full-time job for two mechanics and a helper. Preventive maintenance activities performed every time a unit comes off a platform include steam cleaning to remove salt, changing fuel and oil filters, changing the oil and swabbing the fuel tank. To improve uptime, Crown frequently replaced the brushes and had the armatures rewound several times. Replacing a DC generator's brushes takes about 2 1/2 hours and costs $120 (10 brushes @ $12 each). Rewinding can take 10 to 14 days and cost $1,400 to $1,600.
Frustrated with the cost of maintaining old equipment and recognizing the need to upgrade to more reliable equipment, Aulds welcomed the opportunity to participate in a field test for the Big Blue 302. He initially thought that some operators might hesitate to use the Big Blue 302 because of their historical preference for the arc produced by a DC generator. However, Miller improved the Big Blue 302's arc characteristics by adding more iron and copper to the generator.
"Our maintenance crew has been welding pipe with the Big Blue 302 on an oil production platform in the Gulf of Mexico, and they are very impressed with how smoothly it places a bead," states Aulds. "In fact, they do not want to go back to the old machines after experiencing the new Big Blue 302."
Shop Foreman Jack Martin also believes that Miller has come a long way and now makes a welding generator that can stand up to every day pipe welding.
"Just to see if I could bog down the machine," says Martin, "I ran a bead completely around a pipe, dragging the rod in the open root. The Big Blue never bogged down, which means that it has good voltage control. I was pretty impressed because not many machines can do that. Also, the new Millers don't throw a lot of buckshot (spatter), so the sides of the weld stay clean."
After getting such positive feedback from Martin and the welding operators, Aulds immediately purchased a Big Blue 302 and plans to buy a new one every quarter this year. He jokes that the mechanics are nervous about Crown going to Miller machines -because they have such a great warranty. Three years parts and labor is hard to beat. I hope it's going to be a tremendous maintenance savings."
The Big Blue 302 will lower maintenance costs because it only has three brushes that cost $5.34 each and take five minutes to replace. Also, these brushes receive much less stress than those in a DC generator because they carry a small amount of current, not the entire welding load.
"Another thing operators really like is the machine's quietness," adds Aulds. "The Big Blue isn't noisy; you don't get that rumbling in your ears, so you can hear yourself think." To put this in perspective, consider that a single 300 amp competitive unit creates more noise than the combined sound of three Big Blue 302s.
Standing Up to Salt Water
While single arc units such as the Big Blue work well for Crown's numerous maintenance contracts - the company provides services to Texaco, Vastar, Burlington Resources, El Paso Energy, Amerada Hess and others - multiple-arc welding machines make more sense for large jobs.
"We just completed three compressor hook-ups, which is a major coup for us," says Aulds. "We had 25- to 40-man shifts working day and night to Stick and TIG weld all the tie-ins. On larger jobs like this, we've had great luck with Miller's six- and eight-arc welders, the Mark VI™ and Mark VIII®-2. And by luck, I mean that we don't have breakdowns."
Multiple-arc welders create independently controlled welding arcs through a single primary power cable. Aulds uses a 50 kW generator to power the Mark VI and an 80 kW generator to power the Mark VIII-2. While initially acquired for the irreliability, multiple-arc machines also save Crown money. First, it takes much less time to load a single machine and a generator on a workboat than six or eight separate engine drives. Second, multiple-arc machines dramatically lower the cost per welding arc. A Mark VI and a 50 kW generator set together cost about $24,000, or a per-arc cost of $4,000. Engine drives with a 300 amp output cost $8,000 to $11,000 each. Third, engine drives cost more to maintain because they have more parts that wear.
"On larger jobs, we've had very good success using multiple-arc machines instead of engine drives," states Aulds. "With fewer moving parts, we don't have the problems that we ran into with our old diesel machines. And if one arc should go out on a Mark VIII-2, the other seven arcs keep working. After three years, the electric machines from Miller have held up really well in the salt water environment."


I was once very curious. Companies that let me search for information and connect with my friends in the distance, how they make money by giving these things for free.
As time went on, I gradually found out.

Q: Constructor Injection to access service Is there a better way to consume a service in mvvmcross by constructor injection?
For example, I have my object in a plugin implementation
public class MyObject : IMyObject
{
   public MyObject (int id)
   {
      _id = id;
   }
}

and want to consume it somewhere the portable core (in the buisness layer) like this :
public void ConsumeTheService()
{
    int i = 50;
    var myObject = this.GetService<IMyObject>(i);
}

Actually, I only use a setter to get my id back in the implementation.

A: I'm not sure I understand your example - not sure what intValue does in GetService
Regardless:

*

*MvvmCross v3 includes constructor injection - see some details on http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/v3-new-viewmodel-lifecycle.html

*Others have also implemented constructor injection within vNext - e.g. https://github.com/gshackles/CrossBar/ and http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/a-second-take-on-constructor-injection.html

*The IoC within MvvmCross is completely replaceable - so you can use other IoC mechanisms if you want to (but this does require some code from you)

A: Following your update... if you are asking about how to get:
    var myObject = this.GetService<IMyObject>(50);

and for this to return an object which is initiaised as new MyObject(50)
then I would instead recommend that you implement an interface
public interface IMyObjectFactory
{
    IMyObject CreateMyObject(int i);
}

with an implementation:
public class MyObjectFactory : IMyObjectFactory
{
    public IMyObject CreateMyObject(int i)
    {
        return new MyObject(i);
    }
}

you can then register this IMyObjectFactory with IoC

Sophisticated Scandinavian cities, medieval Tallinn and imperial St Petersburg promise a mix of history, heritage, colour and culture on this classic voyage of the Baltic Sea.
Whether cruising canals, visiting world-class museums, admiring outstanding architecture, or wandering through fascinating streets, eight fascinating ports of call promise something special.
Play tourist in Cobh, one of the best natural harbours in the world. Known as Queenstown until 1922, it was the departure point for thousands of Irish emigrants to America and the last port of call of the Titanic. The 'Queenstown Story' is a wonderful exhibition telling of this rich maritime history. From Cobh's waterfront, streets lined with brightly coloured houses climb the steep slope of a hill, which is crowned with the imposing St Coleman's Cathedral.
Board the Magellan in Cobh and set off on your 16-night cruise to the Baltic Sea.
With more bicycles than permanent residents, the Dutch capital of Amsterdam is both charming and quirky. Aesthetically little has changed in the centre since its 17th century Golden Age. Beautiful gabled houses and merchants' mansions line serene, tree-lined canals, which are laid out in five concentric circles and crossed by numerous bridges.
The Royal Palace, originally built as a Town Hall in the 17th century, stands on a large square in the centre of the city. Considered one of Europe's major art capitals, Amsterdam is home to a number of superb galleries and museums including the famous Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum.
The largest city in Scandinavia, capital of Denmark for over 600 years and home to the world's oldest monarchy, Copenhagen is the most charming of Baltic cities. Beautiful parks and gardens, attractive 17th and 18th century buildings, grand castles and the elegant Amalienborg Palace- home to the reigning Queen Margrethe II, grace the city that is laced with a labyrinth of winding canals.
Cafes and restaurants spill out of brightly coloured townhouses onto the cobblestone streets in historic Nyhavn. The atmospheric waterfront area is a popular meeting place along with the world's oldest entertainment park Tivoli Gardens.
Estonia's capital Tallinn is a fascinating mix of Scandinavian sleek, Soviet-era concrete and medieval Hanseatic city. Tumbling down Toompea Hill, the historic Old Town is a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets and alleyways, turrets and spires.
Wrapped within the original medieval wall, which is studded with imaginatively named towers, the Castle, onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Town Hall Square and Gothic Town Hall survive along with the aura of the 14th and 15th centuries. Just outside the city Rocca al Mare is an open-air museum of Estonia's rural architecture from the 18th to the 20th centuries.
An overnight in St Petersburg will no doubt be the highlight of this sisteen-day cruise to the Baltic states. Peter the Great founded St. Petersburg in 1703 as his 'Window on the West'. Drawing inspiration from Europe, the Russian Tsar and his successors created an extraordinary city on the banks of the River Neva with opulent palaces, ornate churches and splendid parks all part of the supremely elegant architectural ensemble.
The magnificent Hermitage and its priceless treasures of art, grandeur of Catherine's Palace at Pushkin and gilded fountains in the gardens at Peterhof illustrate the lavish lifestyle of Russia's former ruling elite. The birthplace of Russian ballet, St. Petersburg is the perfect place to take in the performing arts.
Finland's capital Helsinki is a vibrant, modern city, yet very much in harmony with the surrounding nature. Its centrepiece is the majestic Senate Square lined with elegant neo-classical buildings and the impressive Lutheran Cathedral with white Corinthian columns and five green cupolas.
A striking exception to Helsinki's general architectural style is the Russian Orthodox, onion-domed Uspenski Cathedral, which stands on a hill at the end of Market Square and dominates the city skyline. Built into solid rock Temppeliaukio Church is also somewhat unusual. Museums are plentiful with the National Museum of Finland, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design Museum amongst the most notable.
Enjoy Magellan's on board facilities as you return to Cobh and bring this memorable holiday to a close.
According to international custom in the hospitality industry, tipping is accepted as recognition of good service. For your greater convenience we operate an automatic tipping system on board, so instead of worrying how much and when to tip, an amount of £7.00 (or equivalent € value) per person per night (£6.00 per person per night for cruises of more than 16 nights duration) will be debited to your onboard account.
Magellan offers a traditional maritime experience in spacious surroundings. Her wide range of public facilities include the impressive Waldorf and Kensington Restaurants offering two sitting dining or the more informal Raffles Bistro.
There are comfortable lounge areas throughout including the two-tier theatre style Magellan Show Lounge, and a wide range of other amenities. Out on deck, there are two swimming pools, three whirlpools and expansive deck areas.
Our maitre'd and his attentive waiting staff will welcome you to the elegant Waldorf or Kensington Restaurants where you can opt for a full English breakfast, savour a leisurely five-course lunch and enjoy a delightful dinner every day of your cruise. Whilst breakfasts and lunches are generally served in the restaurant on an open seating basis, two fixed time sittings are operated for dinner in the evening.
As a casual alternative, the light and airy Raffles Bistro is open every day for buffet style breakfast, lunches and dinner. Here informality is the key and you can feel free to drop in without any ceremony. The Pool Deck lends itself particularly well to al fresco meals so a buffet breakfast or lunch from the Bistro can be served up with a complimentary ocean view!
After dinner the show team would enjoy the pleasure of your company in the two-tier, Magellan theatre-style Show Lounge as our talented show team display their talents in a glittering 'big-show'.
Enjoy more evening entertainment in Sinatra's, the Captain's Club and Hampton's or enjoy a drink in the Taverner's Pub.
How about a few hands of cards in the Card Room? Or immerse yourself in a good book from the well-stocked Livingstone Library. Then, browse through the shopping gallaria and photo gallery for a few memories to take home of your time on board Magellan.

Successful realtors: what are the top secrets?
Many of you may be wondering what truly separates the average estate agent – a realtor – to successful realtors and rightly so – what are the top tips?
A lot of people believe that it's a lot of experience that defines an estate agent from being average to successful, some say it depends on the location of where an estate agent is based and some believe that it comes down to luck. What do you think?
As an estate agent, it is important to stay organised and on top of the work load. However, at times this may not be so easy and so the little things may cause a pile up of stress and can often be quite distracting. With distractions comes a lack of focus, which could affect sales and performance. Successful realtors are good at not letting obstacles beat them but rather they beat the obstacles. It's about allowing the obstacles to drive you as a person, letting that be the fuel and hunger to chase more sales, more success. Focusing on what one is good at it's an effective way to utilise a positive skill-set. Don't get beaten!
Staying ahead of the game is important if a successful realtor is contending with competitors. A successful realtor will continuously top up their knowledge of the real estate property market and stay up to date with techniques, legal concerns and housing regulations. 'Knowledge is power' and we couldn't agree more.
Something that a lot of people find hard to accept is allowing someone else or a group of experts to take over a job that can be done in a way that is better than if you did it yourself. A successful realtor will be more than happy to allow someone else to offer advice and guidance and to proactively work on a specific, important issue, where both parties are benefiting one another.
Increasing the social aspect to the real estate industry is absolutely imperative. The significance of networking is that you never know who you might meet. Coming across like-minded people and staying in touch can really enable you to utilise the energy that is so vitally essential to the success of your business. Create successful partnerships and feel excited about your work; after all, you are doing it every day. Network in-person as well as online – face-to-face is always more effective and allows you to really build meaningful relationships with others.
Remaining proactive is so important to enhancing and building a business. successful realtors never stop working – even when they go home they're thinking of new innovative techniques on how to build their business to the next level. Don't waste your precious time on things that will not boost and better your business. Chase warm leads, array your energetic positivity about the real estate and at the same time spread your 'real estate' wisdom.
Stay focused on your goals and objectives. By letting pointless meetings and events clog up your diary you may get distracted which will cause a loss of focus that equals unsuccessful outcomes. Keep your eyes on your priorities and watch your real estate manoeuvres jump from great to fantastic to overwhelmingly great. Embrace your mistakes too, they may actually teach you something that will shape you becoming that successful realtor you always desired.

Home >> Colony to Confederation, 1764 - 1866 >> 1764-1811 >> Siege of Quebec: 1775-1776
The American Continental Congress authorized military operations against Canada on 27 June 1775. By August, the Americans had assembled forces for the invasion of Canada. General Schuyler was to command the army that advanced up the Richelieu River to Montreal, but he fell ill and was replaced by General Richard Montgomery. A second force, led by Major-General Benedict Arnold, moved up the Kennebec and Chaudière rivers towards Quebec.
The American force entered Montreal unopposed on 13 November. Sir Guy Carleton, the Governor of Quebec, had ordered the Montreal garrison to Quebec. By 4 December 1775, General Montgomery had marched from Montréal to Ste.-Foy and joined up with Arnold's force. The Quebec garrison consisted of 70 Royal Fusiliers, 230 soldiers of Lieutenant-Colonel Allan McLean's Royal Highland Immigrants, 330 British (British colonists) militia, 480 Royal Navy sailors and Marines, and 543 Canadian militia commanded by Colonel Noel Voyer.
By 4 December 1775, General Montgomery reached Ste.-Foy and joined up with Major-General Arnold's force. Montgomery launched an assault on Quebec in a blinding snowstorm at 4:00 a.m. on 31 December 1775. The British and Canadians easily repulsed the Americans. General Montgomery died in the initial fighting, and Arnold assumed command of the American force.
The siege continued, and the American Congress sent additional troops to reinforce the American force outside Quebec. In March, 2,500 troops joined Arnold's force. In April, an additional 2,500 American soldiers arrived led by Major-General John Thomas, who took command of the entire army. On 6 May 1776, as the Americans prepared to renew the attacks on Quebec, British ships arrived with much-needed supplies and troops for the beleaguered Quebec garrison. The relieving force, under Major General John Burgoyne, was made up of 7 British regiments under General Fraser, the 9th, 20th, 29th, 53rd and 60th Regiments of Foot and 5 German Regiments (4 Brunswick Regt., 1 Hessen-Hanau Regt.) and a Hessen-Hanau Artillery Comp. under the command of Major-General Riedesel.
General Thomas was faced with the prospect of meeting the British and Canadians on equal terms. He immediately lifted the siege and the American force hastily withdrew to Montreal.
