From the fact that Aplysia commences its life as a free-swimming veliger with a nautiloid shell not enclosed in any way by the border of the mantle, it is clear that the enclosure of the shell in the adult is a secondary process.
The free edge of the mantle is seen just below the margin of the shell (compare with Aplysia, fig.

Hi friends! Today Judge Kavanaugh was confirmed to the US Supreme Court. However, let's look at this from a perspective other than purely political. Our country is not simply divided, it is being absolutely ripped down the center. With mid-term elections coming up in November, I'm not expecting it to get better.
Here is a 55-second, unique perspective from one of Amir Tsarfati's recent messages.
Dear friends, we are living in the last hour and the Bible tells us Israel will ultimately stand alone. That means America will cease to be there for our greatest ally. No amount of prayer will keep the Word of God from coming true.
However, at times in Scripture we read about prayers of the faithful moving God to postpone wrath. Believers, now is the time to pray! Our country is divided and about to implode from the inside out. Your prayers matter!
Meanwhile, for every moment God gives us, let's be about our Father's business until the day He sends His Son, Jesus, to redeem us from this world. May the Lord grant grace and mercy upon America until that day.
Against All Odds, How did the Jewish People Survive?

Strengthen Our Schools (SOS)
Client: Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association (HCTA)
Industry: Public Education / Political Campaign
In August of 2018, The Hillsborough County School Board voted to add a 10-year half-penny tax referendum on the November 6 ballot. The referendum would raise more money for school repairs and construction. The district has struggled to keep the air conditioning working at its 200-plus schools. If passed, the tax would bring in roughly an additional $131 million each year, covering the one billion dollar deficit regarding these issues.
Exactly nine weeks before the mid-term elections, HCP Associates was engaged to execute an eight week campaign for Strengthen Our Schools, a paid political campaign created and funded by the local labor union HCTA and public donations. The challenge was daunting due to a small budget, limited time frame and a very controversial transportation tax also on the ballot.
HCP spent the first four days creating a brand, position, content, website, advertisements, direct mail, press releases, videos, social media pages, an aggressive paid/earned media strategy and budget to quickly execute a full-scale bi-partisan campaign that looked as if it was planned and created six months prior.
The goal of the SOS campaign was to educate "all" voters with the facts and figures that supported the need for the tax. About two weeks into the campaign, HCP was notified that Referendum No. 3 would be at the bottom of the ballot; even below the transportation referendum.
With thousands of yard signs, hundreds of thousands of direct mailers, thousands of social media posts, digital billboards, Google AdWords, programmatic banners, endless people-on-the-street video interviews, weekly town hall meetings and dozens of bi-partisan endorsements, HCP began to focus on a regional public relations strategy that would prompt people to "Vote from the Bottom Up!" One of the most popular press releases distributed statewide on PR Newswire explained the differences between referendums and amendments.
By the end of the campaign, HCP's tactics reached nearly six million unique impressions. Despite the challenges, on November 6, 2018, Hillsborough County Referendum No. 3 passed with 56.35 percent of residents voting "For" the tax.
The Hillsborough County Public School System is the eighth largest school district in the United States with over 250 K-12 schools. The district serves almost 200,000 students, approximately 16,000 teachers and 4,500 educational support personnel.

I felt like kind of recreating a look that I posted on Instagram a few weeks ago. I also had to record this look twice because I was unhappy with the original video.
The awesome Skull Octopus ring was a gift from my lovely friend Angie/Goldiestarling's Etsy store StarlingJewels.


Danny casts his sights on Charlie Park, her co-worker, her partner… the one man who knows all Braelyn's secrets. She's frustrated by the distrust until she realizes jealousy fuels Danny's suspicions as much as instinct and proof. One of them is right about Charlie—but by the time they figure it out, it may be too late to save their relationship. And Braelyn's life.
Password is my first Staci Troilo book, so wasn't sure what I would think of it.
There was brilliant scene-setting throughout, with interesting and vibrant characters, all wrapped up in a totally realistic and believable scenario.
Braelyn Edwards first struck me as an ordinary working girl, hardly someone who would need a bodyguard. But someone had attacked her, so she could be hiding a secret. Danny Caruso has trouble believing she is innocent too, although she seems so ordinary. He is convinced she had to be mistaken for somebody else.
She mysteriously denies knowing of any reason for the attack, and this is when their incredibly fast-paced banter begins. The chemistry between them fizzles with electricity, and I ended up enamoured by the two of them to such an extent that I forgot all about the plot. I just wanted to watch and listen to the two of them together. I suspect we are seeing the birth of a relationship that will sell a lot of books!
The ending was unexpected, with a very clever twist I didn't see coming.
Staci Troilo has created two masterful characters for this first book in the series, roll on the next one!
Looking for a thriller that you can't put down? Then try this book that everyone's talking about.
One of the tensest, most gripping thrillers you will ever read. From UK and US best-selling author Taylor Adams.
Darby Thorne is a college student stranded by a blizzard at a highway rest stop in the middle of nowhere. She's on the way home to see her sick mother. She'll have to spend the night in the rest stop with four complete strangers.
Then she stumbles across a little girl locked inside one of their parked cars.
J.R.R. Tolkien was born on 3rd January 1892. After serving in the First World War, he became best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, selling 150 million copies in more than 40 languages worldwide. Awarded the CBE and an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Oxford University, he died in 1973 at the age of 81.
In dark Mordor, evil Sauron is joining the Rings of Power which will give him total dominion. Only one ring escapes him – and it must be destroyed at any cost. Enter a world of magic and magnificence in Tolkien's epic trilogy, often considered the greatest fantasy story of all time.
This book was described as; 'Dark, twisted and compelling, the most exciting and original thriller of the year'… and was a first for me. Having recently becoming a fan of crime/thrillers, this one came as one hell of a surprise!
'Normal'…a strange name for a book about a serial killer?
But this is the clever way the author, Graeme Cameron makes you think of the nameless killer in this fascinating different psychological thriller. An anti-hero with an amazing sense of humour that you find yourself liking, despite what you know of him. He should be despicable, deplorable, someone you should despise. Yet do not.
Readers will enjoy this story, it is entertaining in a way most books are not. As a writer myself, I can only marvel at the complexity, the vast array of observation and emotions, the depth of the characterisation. In short, an amazingly brilliant book!
He lives on your street, in a nice house with a tidy garden. He shops at your local supermarket. He drives beside you, waving to let you into the lane ahead of him. He's the perfect neighbour. But he also has an elaborate cage in a secret basement under his garage.
And he thinks it's perfectly normal to kidnap young women and keep them captive.
When I finished reading the last page I realised that I didn't even know the killer's name but I knew that I liked him and I really didn't want him to go.
Normal's (anti) hero is a good bloke. Women love him, men get on well with him; he is attractive, funny, sweet – everything you could wish for in a friend or lover. The only problem is that he has a slightly unusual hobby, he 'hurts' people, kills them, chops up their bodies and perhaps even eats them. Shame.
Like that other loveable serial killer, Dexter, our killer has experienced a childhood trauma which has left him detached from the rest of the human race. He is an efficient killing machine and never gets caught but then it all goes wrong, he starts to form attachments; he makes his first friend, he starts worrying about the comfort of his victims and finally – Big, Big, Mistake – he falls in love.
I really liked this book. In fact I can't wait to re-read it. Perhaps he does have a name and I was turning the pages so fast that I missed it.
Mr Normal is definitely my new favourite psychopath.

What a clever post. I've never seen one with categories like "Book I Wish I'd Written" or "Most Unusual Book." I realize I'm included only as a matter of timing, but I'm delighted to be on this list and grateful for the kind review.
Not just a matter of timing, Staci, Password deserves to be included in this list. Glad you enjoyed the post!

La saison 2015-2016 de la Juventus FC voit le club s'engager dans quatre compétitions que sont la Serie A, la Coupe d'Italie de football, la Ligue des champions et la Supercoupe d'Italie.

La saison précédente a vu les bianconeri se hisser en finale de la Ligue des champions et remporter un quatrième titre consécutif en Serie A et la Coupe d'Italie.
Lors de l'été suivant, les dirigeants turinois ont opté pour un renouvellement important de l'effectif après les départs de trois joueurs majeurs: Carlos Tévez, Andrea Pirlo et Arturo Vidal.
Ce renouvellement se concrétise par l'arrivée de jeunes joueurs, comptant parmi les plus prometteurs de leur génération, comme Paulo Dybala, Alex Sandro et Daniele Rugani ou des stars affirmées comme Mario Mandžukić et Sami Khedira.

La saison commence sous les meilleurs auspices après leur victoire en Supercoupe d'Italie face à la Lazio Rome sur le score de 2-0 grâce à des buts marqués par les nouveaux arrivants Mario Mandžukić et Paulo Dybala.

Standards and Signification between Jazz and Fusion: Miles Davis and "I Fall in Love Too Easily," 1963–1970

This paper examines Miles Davis's studio and live repertoire during the time period from 1963 until 1970, particularly his performances of the ballad "I Fall in Love Too Easily," which was a remarkably persistent presence in his sets, despite the myriad of other changes that took place in this time. Indeed, listening to multiple versions of "I Fall in Love Too Easily" certainly reveals clear differences in musical parameters such as form, tempo, rhythm, timbre, and orchestration. Examining Davis's performances of "I Fall in Love Too Easily" enables us to focus in on what, according to both jazz critics and jazz historians, is a crucial turning point, not only for Davis's career, but for the genre as a whole. Through detailed examination of various performances of "I Fall in Love Too Easily," we can also concentrate closely on how exactly Davis's music was changing during this period, even if one song remained a part of his repertoire. In my analysis, I show that "I Fall In Love Too Easily," more so than any other standard, served as a durable vehicle for Davis's musical goals throughout the mid-1960s. By 1970, however, these goals seem to have shifted as Davis moved, step by step, away from a model of jazz performance based on improvisation on a familiar, pre-existing tune or structure. Hence, "I Fall In Love Too Easily," and all other jazz standards were dropped from the band's book as Davis pursued other means of communicating with his audience.

More Misplaced Environmentalist Outrage
By Greg E. Walcher
Greens are angry that Interior modified a rule they wanted to use to attack energy and ranching.
How we long for the good old days! That's the tone of some environmental industry leaders who are screaming bloody murder (literally, not figuratively) about Department of the Interior actions under President Trump. The Department's re-interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is a case in point.
One Washington Post writer carped that "cruelty without consequence" is at "the heart of the Trump era." The new rule, she wrote, is "harmful to the weak … but also to the strong, who in the exercise of cruelty become less humane, less human."
To be clear, for these advocates, the "good old days" under one specific rule were from January 10 to February 6, 2017. That is how long an Obama rule from the Department's lawyer was in effect: 27 days.
President Obama's Interior Department Solicitor General had written something called "Opinion M-37041," which radically changed the way federal officials were to enforce the migratory bird law. Issued just ten days before the Obama Administration ended, it was suspended less than a month later, pending review by the new Trump Administration.
That review, completed earlier this year, found that Opinion M-37041 was inconsistent with the law.
The opinion needed review, because M-37041 presumed that all killing of all migratory birds in all places at all times was illegal, and could result in fines or even jail. It no longer mattered whether birds were killed accidentally or intentionally, by negligence or through no fault. It no longer mattered whether birds inadvertently died as a result of entirely legal activity, or if they died from their own poor navigation skills by flying into man-made structures. Businesses that built such structures could be fined anyway.
The law was never intended to be used that way. But that interpretation had a clear purpose for environmental activists who dominated the Obama Interior Department. Migratory birds could be used as a weapon in their ongoing battle against coal and metals mining, oil and gas exploration and production, fossil fuel electricity generation, and even ranching and other despised industries. Meanwhile officials could grant waivers to their powerful friends in the wind and solar industries.
Thus, administrators could fine industries they disliked up to $15,000 per bird – but look away when wind generators chopped up eagles, or solar panels in the Mohave Desert fried birds in mid-air.
In fact, the Audubon Society says, 90% of all prosecutions under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act had been against oil companies, though nobody ever claimed they cause anywhere near 90% of all bird deaths. Indeed, a 2011 million-dollar, 45-day helicopter search for dead birds across North Dakota oil fields by the Fish & Wildlife Service found only 28 mallard ducks, flycatchers and other common birds that were inadvertently killed when they landed in uncovered oilfield waste pits.
Ironically, the Post illustrated its "sky is falling" column with a Gerald Herbert (AP) photo of an oil-soaked bird – but his picture was taken during the Obama era. By definition then, the picture had nothing to do with the issue of reversing M-37041 by the current Administration.
By contrast, studies by wildlife biologists have concluded that US wind turbines are killing hundreds of thousands – and some experts say millions – of raptors and other birds every year, along with numerous bats. Many of these creatures are threatened or endangered, or have been made so by the wind turbines. And yet few environmentalists ever voiced concerns about those deaths.
All the current Administration did was withdraw Opinion M-37041, and return to the previous interpretation, which allowed the use of common sense in determining whether negligence resulted in preventable bird deaths. The text of the law itself prohibits "pursuing, hunting, taking, capturing, killing, or attempting to do the same" – meaning actions whose purpose is taking or killing migratory birds, their nests, or their eggs. It does not criminalize accidental deaths that happen in the course of otherwise legal and productive activity.
The outcry from some eco-activists has been over the top. They wail that the "new" ruling (which merely reinstates the original understanding) will lead to wanton destruction of wildlife. "So many more birds will die now," the Post writer asserted. Officials will simply no longer care about destruction of our feathered friends.
Under that twisted reasoning, Woodrow Wilson didn't care about birds, since he signed the Migratory Bird Treaty Act into law in 1918. Franklin Roosevelt didn't care about birds, nor did Ike, Kennedy or even Nixon, who signed the Endangered Species Act into law. Jimmy Carter didn't care, nor Bill Clinton and Al Gore. None of them applied Opinion M-37041 reasoning to the law.
It was selective enforcement by the Obama Administration that resulted in conflicting judicial rulings. Previous Administrations all understood the difference between birds dying accidentally or on purpose.
That distinction matters, because birds accidentally die all the time. In fact, a study of albatrosses in the Pacific suggests that the life span of many birds is actually unknown, because they almost always die of unnatural causes. One analysis said as many as six billion birds die in the USA every year by flying into things – houses, office buildings, power lines and other structures – or are killed by animals, especially cats. Does that make every cat or home owner a criminal?
In judging the inhumanity of our society by the way we treat birds, the Washington Post columnist condescendingly pointed out that "people are a part of the natural world, not distinct from it." No kidding.
Day-to-day human activities affect our environment in numerous ways, sometimes for the better, occasionally for the worse. That doesn't mean someone must be punished every time a bird dies.
Most of us abhor deliberate animal cruelty. That's why it is a crime, and accidents are not. It's nice to see our government bringing a little common sense back to our laws and regulations. That shouldn't be a crime either.

Q: How to remove a many-to-many association in Hibernate without actually deleting Objects I have 2 Hibernate classes in a Spring-driven Application like these:
@Entity
public class Image {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;

@ManyToMany(mappedBy = "picture", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Set<InspectionObjectDetail> inspectionObjectDetails = new HashSet<InspectionObjectDetail>();

@Override
public int hashCode() {
    // Eclipse generated hashCode()
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    // Eclipse generated equals()
 }
}

and
@Entity
public class InspectionObjectDetail {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;

@ManyToMany (fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinTable(
name = "MXInspectionObjectDetail_picture",
joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "INSPECTIONOBJECTDETAIL_ID")},
inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "PICTURE_ID")}
)
@Where(clause = "active = true")
private Set<UOCImage> picture = new HashSet<UOCImage>();
@Override
public int hashCode() {
    // Eclipse generated hashCode()
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    // Eclipse generated equals()
 }
}

I can add elements to this relation and query them just fine, but a jUnit test where I try to remove the relation without actually deleting one of these objects fails.
What I'm currently doing is unlinking each object from the other one in a transactional context:
// Junit Test
@Test
public void deleteInspectionObjectDetailImage() {
    InspectionObjectDetail inspectionObjectDetail = new InspectionObjectDetail();
    dao.save(inspectionObjectDetail);
    someClass.saveInspectionObjectDetailImage(controlObject.getId());
            //passes
    assertTrue(inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().size() == 1);
    UOCImage image = inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().iterator().next();
    someClass.deleteImage(image);
    Set<UOCImage> images = inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures();
            //fails
    assertTrue(images.size() == 0);
}

// BO Class
@Transactional
@Component
public class SomeClass() {
    public void delteImage(Image image) {
        if(image!= null) {
        image.setActive(false);
        while(image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator().hasNext()) {
             InspectionObjectDetail inspectionObjectDetail = image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator().next();
             inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().remove(image);
             image.getInspectionObjectDetails().remove(inspectionObjectDetail);

                }
        }
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().flush();
     }

}

The Hibernate Log tells me that it did an insert to the relationship to the relationship is executed correctly, my remove statements however do not appear (Even after the session.flush() ).
If possible I'd like to keep the lazy fetching the way it is, because I expect a lot of reads on the either table that won't need the according other class loaded.
Has someone any pointers for me?
UPDATE
regarding @Thor84no 's suggestion, I tried to remove each association by removing it through the iterator.remove() function, so my BO Object now looks like this:
// BO Class
@Transactional
@Component
public class SomeClass() {
    public void delteImage(Image image) {
        if(image!= null) {
        image.setActive(false);
        Iterator<InspectionObjectDetail> inspectionObjectDetailsIterator = image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator();
        while (inspectionObjectDetailsIterator.hasNext()) {
            InspectionObjectDetail inspectionObjectDetail = inspectionObjectDetailsIterator.next();
            Iterator<UOCImage> imageIterator = inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().iterator();
            while (imageIterator.hasNext()) {
                if (imageIterator.next() == image) {
                    imageIterator.remove();
                }
            }
            inspectionObjectDetailsIterator.remove();
        }
    }
    sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().flush();
}

}

In my (edited) Junittest:
    // ...
    someClass.deleteImage(image.getId());
    assertTrue(image.getInspectionObjectDetails().size() == 0);
    assertTrue(inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().size() == 0);

The first assertion succeeds, but the second one fails, so the bidirectional association between
Image <--> InspectionObjectDetail was only reduced to
Image <-- InspectionObjectDetail

A: while(image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator().hasNext()) {
    InspectionObjectDetail inspectionObjectDetail = image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator().next();
    inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().remove(image);
    image.getInspectionObjectDetails().remove(inspectionObjectDetail);
}

Did you know that calling iterator() on a list creates a new Iterator each time it is called? I guess your problem is (or at least on of them) that you're in a infinite loop here. The while will always be true as long as image.getInspectionObjectDetails() has at least 1 element  and also image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator().next() will always return the same (the first) element.
Try something like this:
Iterator<InspectionObjectDetail> it = image.getInspectionObjectDetails().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()
    InspectionObjectDetail detail = it.next();
    detail.getPictures().remove(image);
    it.remove();
}

UPDATE:
if (imageIterator.next() == image)

Never compare objects like this in java; use equals instead and implement equals/hashCode on your entity. == will simply check if both operands have the same reference so this might yield false although logically it is the same entity (same business key): http://leepoint.net/notes-java/data/expressions/22compareobjects.html
Afterwards you can rewrite:
Iterator<UOCImage> imageIterator = inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().iterator();
            while (imageIterator.hasNext()) {
                if (imageIterator.next() == image) {
                    imageIterator.remove();
                }
            }

as:
inspectionObjectDetail.getPictures().remove(image);

A: For anyone with a similar problem, the real issue was that the picture Set in inspectionObjectDetail still had the image in it after the deleteImage call. In order to most easily test whether this is the case you could either use a debugger to step through the code and check whether the Set changes or print it out before and after calling the remove method.
If you find that the object is not removed, make sure you check the hashCode() and equals() methods of the object you are removing from the Set. The Set may only use hashCode(), but do remember that hashCode() and equals() are supposed to be consistent and there's no guarantee they ignore equals().

A: The thumb rule in deleting the association is to clear the Collections in involved Java objects and then save the objects.
Thus, if Class A has a collection of Class B, and Class B has a collection of Class A (A many-to-many relation case), then simply clear the collection of

*

*Class B in Class A

*Class A in Class B

and save Class A and Class B. The relation would be deleted but the objects would stay.
Hope this helps.

One of the things I enjoy the most in homebrewing is experimenting with different yeasts and bacterias. I've said it before that when I was brewing a lot at home and entering competitions I felt like using blends of strains or the latest limited yeast release was key in my wins. Some brewers love getting that new hop variety everyone wants this year…others love trying new fermentable sugar, but for me it's always been about the microbes.
I've been fortunate enough to take that love of microbes to the next level at Yazoo by continuing to procure interesting and unique strains to build the program around. Since last summer I've done single microbe fermentation test batches using close to 20 different wild yeasts and bacterias. It has given me a great appreciation for what each microbe can offer and if certain ones are even worth using. It takes a little longer to build a program this way, but I believe it's the only way to create something fun and unique for people to drink. With so many breweries and homebrewers making good sour/wild beer with the usual suspects from the major yeast labs, I feel like testing many unique strains will translate into great beer.
We've released a few of these test beers throughout the year, but I'm really excited about the ones we will release this Sunday at Funk Fest. Back in January my buddy Dmitri (who I've known for a few years through homebrewing boards and runs this awesome website) sent me samples of Brettanomyces he had isolated from a bottle of Cantiilon Iris. He was able to identify 3 different Bretts in the 2007 Iris. In chatting with him they all sounded like familiar descriptions of the flavor layers I love in Cantillon, so I was more than excited to kick off batches with these Bretts!
Fast forward a little over 8 months later….the beers are finished and kegged up. These Cantillon single Brett isolated beers called: Breaking Brett C1, Breaking Brett C2 and Breaking Brett C3 will debut this Sunday at the Yazoo for our sold out Funk Fest. I wanted to make these available at the same time so people could taste the differences in the Brett side by side.
We are also releasing "The One Who Knocks" – A Brett Saison in Chardonnay Hungarian Oak aged on Golden Raisins and our summer seasonal "Lange Sommer" (translation: Long Summer) – our take on Berliner Weisse. I'm really happy with how lactic balanced and drinkable the Berliner Weisse is. It hit a good final ph of 3.7 so it has enough sour to let you know it's there, but not so sour it turns your stomach after 2 glasses. What fun is a Berliner you can't drink a gallon of when it's 100 degrees outside?!?!!?
**Edit** Because some have asked: The Berliner Weisse used Lactobacillus Delbrueckii to sour. It was pitched into the conical first at around 100F where it sat for a few days then we pitched our fermenting microbes.
I'm planning to give out a little more data and descriptions to the attendees about C1, C2 and C3 during a short presentation at the release this weekend, so I'm going to hold off on posting it here until after then. But I will say all 3 variants achieved over 96% attenuation pitched into a 1.051 og wort consisting of wheat, pils, acid malt and 12 IBUs. All 3 taste and smell distinctly different with delicate character. It amazed me at how "smooth" and rounded these variants are compared to some of the other variants I've tested.
This weekend is shaping up to be a fun one beer wise and the return of what you guys know is my favorite show: Breaking Bad.
What funk have you guys brewed lately? Have you experimented with any new ingredients?
Couldn't agree more that using unique, commercially unavailable brett/bacteria strains can set your creation apart from the pack (hopefully in a good way!).
I'm excited to hear evaluations of your Breaking Brett variants! I am using Dmitri's C1 and C3 in a few conditioning beers, and I just bottled up a saison spiked with different strains of brett that included C1.
Have not tasted the results, but the aromas from the airlock are sublime and very unique to Cantillon (at least 'till now!).
As always – good stuff!
I hope the rain isn't hurting your plans??? A coworker, a Lipscomb grad, and I were just looking at some pics…scary!
I was in Nashville last week for one night…whats with the limited tap room hours? I ended up at Cool Springs.
We should be good to go! Thankfully the rain was mostly north of Nashville the past 2 days! About the taproom hours….thank goofy TN beer laws. Taprooms can only be open a certain amount of hours a week. Brewpubs etc…can have more hours. Derrick makes some great beer at Cool Springs.
Hmm. Acid malt in addition to those? Seems interesting that you didn't want to rely on the Brett.

BurgerTime (version américaine), appelé également Hamburger (version japonaise), est un jeu vidéo de 1982 créé par la société japonaise Data East pour sa borne DECO Cassette System.

Synopsis
Dans ce jeu de plates-formes en forme de labyrinthe, le joueur incarne le chef de cuisine Peter Pepper, qui doit confectionner des hamburgers tout en évitant les personnages en forme d'aliments que sont Mr Hot Dog (les saucisses), Mr Egg (les œufs) et Mr Pickle (les cornichons).

Système de jeu
Chaque tableau de jeu est composé d'un labyrinthe d'échelles et de plateformes que doit parcourir Peter Pepper pour faire tomber dans les assiettes situées tout en bas de l'écran, les ingrédients des hamburgers (pains, fromage, salade, steak, etc.). Il suffit à Peter de marcher sur un ingrédient pour le faire descendre d'un niveau, mais il doit compter également sur la présence de ses adversaires qu'il peut temporairement immobiliser en leur jetant du poivre (trois tirs possibles au maximum) ou éliminer en les écrasant avec un ingrédient de burger.

Accueil et postérité
Le nom d'origine du jeu sorti (Hamburger) est devenu BurgerTime lors de son exportation aux États-Unis. Le jeu a acquis une certaine popularité et a donné naissance à Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory (1984) et Super BurgerTime (1990). Un autre jeu intitulé BurgerTime Deluxe est sorti sur Game Boy en 1991.

BurgerTime a été adapté sur de très nombreuses plateforme, la version Intellivision étant considérée comme la plus réussie. L'Intellivision connaîtra d'ailleurs une suite exclusive du jeu, Diner.

Plusieurs jeux copiant le principe de BurgerTime ont été développés comme Mr. Wimpy en 1984 pour ZX Spectrum, Oric ou encore C64, Mac Attack en 1986 pour MSX.

En 2009, Namco sort une nouvelle version en ligne appelée BurgerTime Deluxe qui reprend le principe du jeu d'origine avec des graphismes plus étoffés et des adversaires supplémentaires comme un citron.

Rééditions
À la suite de la faillite de Data East en 2003, la société japonaise G-Mode détient depuis  les droits des jeux BurgerTime, Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory, Super BurgerTime et BurgerTime Deluxe.

La version NES était disponible sur la console virtuelle Wii. Elle était aussi incluse dans Data East All-Star Collection, une compilation de cinq jeux NES de Data East sortie en  pour la console Nintendo Entertainment System.

BurgerTime Deluxe est sortie sur console virtuelle 3DS en 2011.

Vers la fin de 2019 ou début 2020, BurgerTime ainsi que trois autres jeux de Data East (Karate Champ, Caveman Ninja et Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja) furent inclus dans une compilation sur borne d'arcade destinée pour usage à domicile au coût de 399$ US$. Bien que la borne comprend quatre jeux d'arcades, seules les illustrations de BurgerTime apparaissent sur le meuble.

Une réédition de Super BurgerTime est annoncée sur la future console Amico.

The Reconstruction of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo during the political transition to democracy in Spain, 1976-1979
School of Languages, Cultures and Societies event Tuesday 26 February 2019
Date: Tuesday 26 February 2019, 18:00 – 19:30
Location: Michael Sadler Grant Room (3.11)
Download: Outlook, iCal
Maggie Torres presents at the Centre for the History of Ibero-America Seminar.
Shortly after the death of Franco, at the beginning of 1976, the historic anarcho-syndicalist trade union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), began a process of organisational reconstruction after almost forty years of exile and clandestine organizing under the Francoist regime. The reconstruction of the CNT was hampered by divisions from its inception, not least by its own past, represented by the 'official' Toulouse exile organisation, whose main aim was to control the process and thus ensure its continued leadership role and the doctrinal 'purity' of the organisation. However, during the following few years these divisions would harden, leading to an increasing polarisation between 'radical anarchists' and 'reformist syndicalists', the ostensible reason for the split in the organisation at the CNT Congress in December, 1979.
This paper is an attempt to understand this growing polarisation, and shall examine the factors which exacerbated divisions during these years, within the context of the specific nature of the political transition to democracy in Spain.

Q: How to receive all contacts according to filter set in People Hub? I have 4 accounts set in my People Hub (Windows Live Id, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook). I have unchecked in "People Hub\filter my contact list" twitter and facebook accounts so now I don't see them in my address book - good. But when I am trying to obtain them in code by:
var contacts = new Microsoft.Phone.UserData.Contacts();
contacts.SearchCompleted += (s, e) => ...
contacts.SearchAsync(String.Empty, FilterKind.None, null);

I receive all of the my accounts including Twitter and Facebook ones - How can I prevent it? I have found property contacts.Accounts but it returns {Windows Live Id, Facebook}

A: Each of the Contacts that are returned also have an Accounts property
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.phone.userdata.contact.accounts(v=vs.92).aspx
You could filter your result using
contacts.SearchCompleted += (s,e) => e.Results.Where(c=>MyFilter(c.Accounts))

Remember that some contacts might be merges of info from multiple accounts.
var allAccounts = Contacts.Accounts;
var interestingAccounts = allAccounts.Where(x=>x.Name!="Twitter") // or x.Kind
bool Myfilter(IEnumerable<Account> accounts)
{
  return accounts.Intersect(interestingAccounts).Any();
}

EDIT:
bool Myfilter(IEnumerable<Account> accounts)
{
  return accounts.Intersect(Contacts.Accounts).Any();
}

Amniotic bands refer to free floating blind ending amnion with an intact chorionic membrane. In certain situations, they lead to the amniotic band syndrome. They should not be confused with amniotic shelves which refer to the presence of amnion folding around pre-existing uterine adhesions. Some advocate fetoscopic release of amniotic bands in selected cases 1-3.

U.S. Soccer's celebratory online banner.
A bid by the United States, Canada and Mexico was awarded the 2026 World Cup on Wednesday, U.S. Soccer announced.
The vote by the 68th FIFA Congress was held in Moscow, one day before the 2018 event kicks off in Russia.
According to multiple published reports, the tournament final will be held at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. The site selection is not yet official.
"I'm thrilled that the United Bid, a joint effort by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, has been selected to host the FIFA 2026 World Cup, and look forward to the next step in the process, in which specific venues from these countries will be selected to host tournament games.
"MetLife Stadium and the Meadowlands region are an ideal site for the World Cup. New Jersey has hosted World Cup matches before, and we are more than ready to do so again. MetLife Stadium is an internationally renowned facility with first-class amenities.
The joint North American bid defeated its only challenger, Morocco, by a 134-65 vote among FIFA member associations.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first to feature an expanded field of 48 squads, instead of the current 32.

Dogecoin is the new GameStop – Are investors going to get burned?
Dogecoin has become the new GameStop, with frenzied trading potentially going to deliver a bloody nose to novice investors, warns the CEO of one of the world's largest independent financial advisory and fintech organisations.
The warning from Nigel Green, the chief executive and founder of deVere Group, comes as the market capitalisation of Dogecoin hit almost $45 billion on Friday, and its price has risen by 400% in the last seven days.
The memecoin was created in 2013 as a joke, poking fun at the rise of established digital assets such as Bitcoin. Dogecoin was inspired by the popular Doge meme, which offers the image of a Shiba Inu looking sideways at the camera with raised eyebrows.
Mr Green says: "Dogecoin is the new GameStop. The out-of-favour bricks and mortar videogame retailer rocked Wall Street in January when a group of small-scale mainly inexperienced investors, led by a frenzy on Reddit, sparked a historic short squeeze where they drove up its stock prices.
"This week, since Reddit lifted its ban on the discussion of three cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin – activist investors and also some celebrity investors on social media have been urging others to invest their cash into Dogecoin – their new pet populist bandwagon.
"In the same way that the GameStop frenzy was pitched as a battle-play of 'Wall Street versus The Little Guy', Dogecoin is being pitched as a battle-play against the well-established crypto giants like Bitcoin.
"But this is not typically the way reasoned, savvy investors should strategise to create and build their portfolios in order to reach their financial goals.
"We can expect many novice retail investors – who may not have the financial resilience needed – to get burned in the Dogecoin frenzy – in the same way they did with the GameStop one."
The deVere CEO says that investors should avoid being drawn into the hysteria driven by social media and look at the fundamentals of the different cryptocurrencies.
"It's very hard to compare Dogecoin with the likes of Bitcoin, which runs on ground-breaking tech and has a limited supply giving it scarcity value, amongst other valuable attributes; and Ethereum, which is solving real-world issues and providing in-demand business solutions. For these reasons, amongst others, they are attracting huge institutional investment."
"Whereas we can assume that many people have been buying Dogecoin, not because they think it has any real value, but because they hope others will get FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out), jack the price up, and then they can sell off and make a quick profit."
Mr Green reiterates a message he gave in January at the height of the GameStop mania.
"If you do want the thrill or novelty of chasing big gains led by activists on social media, you really should make sure that you have a sound, diversified, long-term financial strategy established in place first," he affirms.

'Tis the season of giving, and a special time that allows us to reflect on the past year, and how fortunate we are as a company to be able to give of ourselves, not only monetarily, but through service and action, as well. We at Cornerstone are focused on community-based fundraising, not only within the global mobility community, but also within the communities that we live and work. Throughout the year we strive to donate to causes that continuously prove to make impactful changes to those in need.
As an organization, we stand behind our parent company, Atlas World Group, and their commitment to Move for Hunger: an organization that partners with relocation, transportation and real estate companies across North America to pick up unwanted, unopened food from those who are relocating and deliver it to local food banks. To date, Move for Hunger has delivered more than 8,000,000 pounds of food to food banks across the US & Canada, which account for 6,666,667 meals for people in need. We were more than thrilled to be able to present Move for Hunger with a holiday donation, on behalf of our clients, at the 2017 Atlas Convention in San Diego.
Additionally, our service centers and offices across the country collect for local food banks on a monthly basis – focusing on a much-needed item per month - whether it be paper goods, canned goods or boxed goods. As we all know, 2017 was a devastating year in terms of natural disasters that we saw not only here in the US, but across the globe as well. When Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma hit very close to home, our employees sprang into action collecting water bottles, nonperishable food items, personal hygiene items, diapers and a host of other necessities to Trusted World. We also partnered with SafePet Transport to donate much needed items to the four-legged victims of Hurricane Harvey.
This year, we were also recognized as the Diamond Sponsor at the Worldwide ERC Foundation's Annual Gala, which seeks to provide a philanthropic opportunity to give back to the community - and supports Family Promise: a national organization helping families experiencing homelessness attain sustainable independence. This year's Gala saw the largest fundraising event ever, with over $75,000 raised.
As the holidays approach, it always warms our hearts to see our employees continuously giving of their time and services. We have a long-standing tradition of brightening the holidays of those in need by participating in the United Way's "Gifts of the Season" program. Providing a gift sends a message to struggling families that someone cares, and we are thrilled each year to collect gifts for children, seniors and adults with disabilities. We're also incredibly proud of our very own Jeanette Oakeshott, President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Naperville Sunrise (Illinois), who was recently featured on the local news for her work in coordinating their annual Winter Clothing Drive. Jeanette and members of our Midwest service center have volunteered in placing boxes throughout the community to collect donations of coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves and mittens.
If you so choose, please consider donating to any of the wonderfully impactful charities we've listed above, or some place that strikes close to your heart. As they say, giving is receiving. Happy Holidays from the entire team at Cornerstone Relocation Group!

Biden admin unveils 'historic' investment for communities that could create 300,000 jobs in the 'near term'
Daily Caller News Foundation July 24, 2021
Thomas Catenacci, DCNF
President Joe Biden's administration announced that it would give $3 billion in coronavirus stimulus funds to approved local communities across the country.
The program dubbed "Investing in America's Communities" amounts to the largest initiative of its kind in decades, according to the Department of Commerce. Local governments and organizations nationwide impacted by the coronavirus pandemic are able to apply to receive the federal funds.
"President Biden's American Rescue Plan delivered direct relief to the American people and was the first step to energizing the American economy following the devastating impacts of the coronavirus pandemic," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a statement. "Now, its medium-term investments will allow communities around the country not only rebuild but reimagine their economy for the future."
Governments, colleges, non-profits, unions and tribes may apply for funds while individuals and for-profit companies may not, according to the announcement. The department will award grants to up to 30 total localities.
The Investing in America's Communities effort includes six separate programs including the "Build Back Better Regional Challenge," tourism grants and the "Good Jobs Challenge," which will receive $1 billion, $750 million and $500 million respectively, the Commerce Department said. The administration will also offer $300 million for coal communities in an effort to reinvigorate areas that have been ravaged in recent years.
The "historic" initiative could create 300,000 new jobs in the "near term" in areas where funding is allocated, Raimondo told reporters on Thursday.
"We will work with local communities across the country on innovative new approaches to ensure that we can increase American competitiveness by strengthening our workforce, businesses, and communities and build back better in regions across the country," she said.

The sheets that warmly enveloped you now jarringly alert your senses. You're too warm. You're too cold. You're too sweaty. It's morning and you don't want to get out of bed. It's not because you're tired and that makes you uncomfortable and these sheets which masquerade as comfort are now unbearable and unfriendly.
It's morning and you don't want to get up. Your mind is groggy and crystal clear. You don't want to get up, for today is another day for opportunities of failure, at least you've been led to believe. Another day of not doing everything right. Yesterday you spent hours on a new recipe. It didn't matter, though. It was no longer hot to serve when he got home hours later than expected. And, it's not the way he likes his meat cooked. And why was the kitchen a mess when you were home all day? You got the kids to calm down, but their childish hoots and hollers were unacceptable. Can't you control your children? You look like a mess. Couldn't you at least pretend to want to look presentable?
You're a beautiful family, everyone says. Picture perfect. Your house, a magazine spread. Your kids, gorgeous and full of personality. You, stunning. Him, successful. You're the white picket fence. Everyone say so. Everyone fawns, you're perfect. They're envious. You're silent. You nod and smile when appropriate. You speak in gracious tones and acknowledge how lucky you are to those peeking in. Further and further away you recede.
You tell yourself you've failed because you've been seasoned to believe you have the dream. You tell yourself you need to do better. You need to bend more. Your family's happiness comes first. It's your job. You're the glue and you can't fail.
But you're not the one failing. You've never been the one failing. It is not your failure when someone chooses to break their promises to you. It is not your failure that life is full of mess and unpredictability. It is not your failure when someone fails you. It is theirs, and theirs alone.
The breeze from your bedroom window travels across your body. It's a cool jolt. The tiny hairs on your leg prickle. You don't want to get up but you do. Because you're strong. Because it's never too late to take control. Because this is your life and your happiness is out there.
*For my friend <3 I love you.

Opinion: Possibilities and impossibilities of BWM implementation
By Drydock on	 24th April 2017 Archive
A view from Intercargo
INTERCARGO welcomes and supports the Ballast Water Management (BWM) international initiatives and legislation however, it should be recognised that the implementation needs to be made in the most effective and practical manner possible. A newbuilding vessel case is totally different than retrofitting an existing vessel, while a bulker carrier is also a different case than other types of ships.
This paper discusses some of the technical and operational difficulties faced by bulk carrier owners and operators and provides some insights on the implementation of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention and US legislation.
NB vs EXISTING VESSELS – BULK CARRIER TECHNICAL & OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES
The introduction of type approved treatment equipment to bulk carriers, particularly the existing fleet, brings its own unique considerations and challenges that remain unrecognised by the regulators;
Availability of Type Approved Systems: insufficient
Currently there are 69 Ballast Water Management Systems (BWTS) that have received Type Approval Certification by their respective Administrations. It is important to highlight that this does not mean that a ship owner or shipyard has a choice of 69 different systems.
From a new building perspective, not all the systems are suitable due to the treatment capacity of some of the systems i.e. a number of the listed Ballast Water Treatment systems are not able to treat the water at the same rate as required by the ship's ballast system to enable normal ballasting operations. Compared to most other vessel types, bulk carriers together with tankers and gas carriers tend to have a larger ballast capacity with pumps of higher capacity.
The existing fleet is confronted with even greater challenges than those faced by new builds. In addition to the lack of suitable systems discussed previously, bulk carriers have less choice due to the size limitations imposed by available space and also by the additional electrical powering requirements imposed by these systems compared to the available power onboard.
Gravity Discharged Top Side Tanks: an inevitable sacrifice?
The world bulk carrier fleet is by far the largest single sector by deadweight tonnage and a significant portion of the fleet utilises the highly energy efficient gravity discharge system for the topside ballast water tanks unique to bulk carriers.
On those vessels which use the gravity discharge system, the Top Side Tanks are typically filled from the fire main, not from the ballast line and are discharged directly overboard, which of course is incompatible with the requirements for the obligatory discharge monitoring and secondary discharge treatment required to reach the performance standard or for neutralisation of any chemicals used in the treatment process.
UV Systems generally require a secondary treatment phase at discharge to achieve the required D-2 standard and thus to fit this type of system on bulk carriers with gravity discharged top side tanks is extremely challenging because of the technical obstacles and financial burden associated with altering the existing arrangements onboard a vessel.
It is not possible to simply connect the Top Side Tanks to the Double Bottom Tanks as the structure of the lower tanks, particularly the Hopper Tanks, is not able to support the rise of pressure due to the additional head of water without additional strengthening of the tanks. It has been estimated that the additional weight, in the form of stiffeners, collar plates and brackets, would amount to between 50 and 200 tonnes depending on the vessel size. The considerable modifications, damage to and the repair of the ballast tank coatings also increases the scope of work that will need to be carried out.
Connecting the Top Side Tanks to each other, via a valve, and then piping back to the Engine Room brings its own problems such as penetrating the Engine Room forward bulkhead and running ballast piping through fuel tanks. There will also be problems with effective emptying of tanks due to trim, which may lead to operational difficulties during loading and unloading.
A third possibility is to connect each Top Side Tank to the ballast main in the double bottom/duct keel. In addition to modifications to existing pipework, fitting of pipe supports, new penetrations through watertight boundaries and repairs to the existing ballast tank coating system, isolating valves would need to be fitted to each new branch of the ballast line.
Fitting a common ballast discharge line through the Top Side Tanks with cross valves to each tank is an option; however this would also lead to major modifications including penetrations through the Engine Room bulkhead, other tight bulkheads, fitting of pipe supports and damage to the ballast tank coatings.
On top of the difficulties associated with the discharge, gravity discharged Top Side Tanks are not filled by the ballast line serviced by the ballast pump but are filled using the fire main and general service pump. Therefore, a second treatment system would be required to treat the uptake of the general service pump, either that or a major modification to the fire main so that ballast water entering the fire main is passed through the ballast water treatment system.
Most chemical treatment systems require monitoring of the discharge and then a chemical neutralisation phase and with these systems the same challenges faced with fitting a UV System would also apply. There are, however a limited number of chemical treatment systems which treat on the uptake only but modifications described previously would need to be carried out.
In addition to the major modifications that would be required, the advantages of gravity discharged tanks would be lost, these advantages include; a) Faster ballasting and de-ballasting; b) Less electrical energy used; c) Less wear and tear on the existing pumps and piping; and d) Effective tank stripping.
Powering requirements: prohibitively high
A significant portion of the existing fleet are geared bulk carriers. For these vessels, BWTS retrofit will create additional problems that will need to be overcome.
It may be obvious to state that the powering for newbuilding vessels is calculated at the design/construction phase and that these calculations are performed on the basis of the intended vessel operation and equipment/machinery fitted onboard.
However it is important to appreciate that for the existing fleet there is little or no spare available power to run a BWTS. Geared bulk carriers typically have 4 cranes and 4 grabs which are used simultaneously during cargo operations. For these vessels, cargo operations will need to cease during ballasting or de-ballasting, or a major upgrade of the onboard power generation would be required. Cargo discharging capacity is often governed by the Charter Party and thus any reduction of the speed of cargo discharge could lead to failure to meet contractual requirements.
Electro Chlorination and UV Systems require significant power requirements which would compound the issues in the previous paragraph. It would be necessary to upgrade the onboard power generation and electrical systems. The increased power requirements of BWTS will lead to more fuel being consumed in the auxiliary engines resulting in an increase in air emissions.
Low treatment capacity compared to ballasting requirements
Not all the available BWTS have sufficient treatment capacity that is equal to the capacity of the ballast pumps. This means that the owners have to choose a system from the limited options available or have to fit additional treatment systems in order to operate under the conditions that the vessels were designed to. Additional systems would of course mean further modifications to the ballast and power supply systems, thus increasing the financial burden. This issue is even more complex when the large bulk carriers are considered.
Fitting BWTS will most likely incur significant ballast pump pressure drops due to the BWTS filters, which will cause a reduction in ballast pump capacity or the replacement of the ballast pumps with those of a greater capacity. The BWTS filters will also affect ballasting operations in sediment rich water, such as rivers, as additional time will be required to backflush the filters.
There is more… (coating, space, etc.)
The effects of chemically treated water on ballast tank and floodable hold coatings is not known and may have a detrimental effect on the coating. The coating system plays a fundamental role in maintaining the structural integrity of the vessel which is recognised by Class and by the IMO Marine Safety Committee, which adopted the Performance Standard for Protective Coatings for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks in all Types of Ships and Double-side Skin Spaces of Bulk Carriers.
The available space for fitting a BWTS also provides challenges for the ship owner which is especially true for the smaller bulk carriers where there is insufficient room to fit all the BWTS components in the engine room. This entails the BWTS being "broken up" and the components being installed in different locations in the machinery and deck areas which adds to the installation complexity, maintenance scope and is detrimental to the BWTS operation which could affect monitoring and safety.
Any modifications to the tanks and piping associated with retrofitting a BWTS will require Class and Flag appraisal. New connections between tanks may have significant impacts on stability, intact and damage stability requirements and would need to be re-assessed, documents such as the Loading Manual, Stability Booklet and Damage Control Plan would need to re-appraised and possibly amended.
Not so long ago, a big problem at terminals was ballast discharging speed and a bulk carrier's capacity to load cargo at the rate the terminal wanted, so as to save loading time. Terminals black listed ships that delayed loading operations. It is entirely probable that such 'swift' loading times will no longer be possible if ballast discharge has to pass through the BWTS, and therefore it is likely that we will once again have the same or similar problems at load ports.
REGULATORY IMPLEMENTATION: IMO vs US LEGISLATION
The latter part of 2016 brought unprecedented development to the regulatory world of ships ballast water requirements, including the agreed Entry into Force of the Convention, the much needed revised treatment equipment type approval 'G8' guidelines with the additional agreement to give these a mandatory application, and the granting of US Type Approval to three ballast water treatment systems. The interaction and conflict in the differing timelines has increased the confusion and provided ship owners with an additional dilemma for the most appropriate way forward.
The BWMC
The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (Ballast Water Management Convention – BWMC) was agreed on 13th February 2004 with the intention to prevent, minimize and ultimately eliminate the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through the control and management of ships' ballast water and sediments. Initiated by the accession of Finland, the Convention finally entered into force (EIF) on the 8th September 2017, over 13 years later.
What started out with optimism and a recognised need for pragmatic application and flexibility has turned into what many consider a Convention that is currently not yet ready for implementation, as evidenced by the continuous ongoing need for the development of more and more guidelines and with the strict performance requirements coupled with a lack of confidence in the ability of the type approved treatment equipment to meet the demanding standards set. The costs coupled with the technical and operational challenges associated with the installation and operation of unproven equipment only adds to concerns.
Type Approval Guidelines
Revised Type Approval Guidelines (G8) were adopted during MEPC 70 at the end of October 2016 when it was also agreed to make the new type approval requirements applicable on a mandatory basis; the IMO Secretariat has been instructed to rewrite the guidance agreed in a mandatory form for consideration during MEPC 71. This task may well prove unattainable as changing the current recommendatory text drafted into an acceptable mandatory text without the Committees input will be demanding.
The revised guidelines will certainly enhance the IMO type approval process, however there is unlikely to be acceptance by the US authorities as equivalent to the US EPV test procedures as the US requires a 'kill' standard and IMO accepts the MPN (most probable number) assessment for UV treatment systems. Other minor differences exist which will prevent a common acceptance and therefore both US and IMO Type approval will unfortunately be required for international trading which will most likely prove cost prohibitive for many treatment systems on the market. It is also to be noted that the G8 procedures will be kept under review in light of experiences gained in application.
MEPC 70 agreed the following timelines for application of the revised Type Approval Guidelines:
28 October 2016 Revised G8 Guidelines adopted
28 October 2016 Revised G8 Guidelines can be used
28 October 2018 Last date for approvals under old G8
28 October 2020 Last date for ship installations of old G8 approved systems
It is obvious that any new applications from manufacturers for treatment system type approval should be under the revised new requirements as all existing approved systems are required to be re-tested prior to October 2020 to continue in the market.
To avoid future problems it will be desirable for ship owners to purchase and install treatment systems approved under the revised procedures as it can be foreseen that a number of existing type approved ballast water treatment systems will either not meet the revised requirements or will have stringent operational limitations imposed. It is also obvious that such approved systems will not be available for some time. It has been agreed that 'early movers' who have installed the earlier type approved systems on their ships will not be penalised, however if the so called 'experience building phase' which commences upon EIF and scheduled to last 3 years identifies certain treatment systems as 'unreliable' it may be anticipated that many ports will not allow discharge of ballast water treated by such systems without further measures being applied, if BW discharge is permitted all.
The need for fitting a treatment system with additional US type approval also needs to be carefully considered, as certainly not all systems have the intention (whether stated or not) of pursuing US type approval and those systems currently with a US 'Alternative Management System' (AMS) status have only a limited life acceptability under US ruling.
BWMC Required Installation Dates
The Convention is to EIF September 8th 2017. It has already been agreed that the date of renewal of the ships IOPP Certificate following EIF for existing ships (to include those contracted and under construction) is the applicable last date for complying with the D-2 discharge standard by the installation and use of type approved ballast water treatment systems. MEPC 70 discussed the possibility of providing an additional allowance for ships with their IOPPC Certificate falling within the first two years following EIF to require to fit treatment systems by the second IOPP renewal, which would provide a D-2 required compliance span 2019 – 2024, however this is not to be finalised until MEPC 71 which has now been postponed from its scheduled April meeting to 3-7 July 2017. The possibility of MEPC accepting this additional allowance is uncertain although there remains a reasonable chance for adoption. This however gives very little time or even a realistic possibility for ships that could benefit from this consideration to pursue the alternative of arranging for, and renewing the IOPP Certification prior to the 8 September EIF should the proposal be rejected and provides further unwelcome uncertainty for the demanded implementation dates immediately prior to EIF.
It is also worth noting that any firm amendments agreed to the BWM Convention, including the implementation schedule, can only be circulated on or after EIF, that is 8th September 2017, and require 6 months in circulation prior to consideration for adoption, and then if adoption is approved another 12 months before the amended legislation can be official. The traditional way to bring forward any change in legislation has been to invite early implementation, which has been the prerogative of each individual Member State to decide, however, the most recent IMO Council meeting extensively discussed and disagreed with the use of early implementation of legislation, this may give rise to further cause for uncertainty. However Assembly resolution A.1088 (28) adopted in 2013, already clarifies that existing ships do not need to comply with the D-2 discharge standard until the first renewal survey following the Convention's EIF and that the renewal survey applicable is the survey associated with the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate under MARPOL Annex I.
US situation
During December 2016, the US Coast Guard completed its assessment of, and granted US Type Approval to three BWMS; Optimarin UV 167 – 3,000 m3/h; Alfa Laval Filter + UV 250 – 3,000 m3/h, and; OceanSaver In situ electrolysis 1,500 – 7,200 m3/h. This development has resulted in a 'game changer' in the Coast Guard's extension process and ship owners will now have to document and justify how they cannot possibly fit an approved system on their ship.
For future extension requests supporting documentation providing such information as the evaluation of BWMS and discussions with BWMS vendors, issues with the availability of suitable systems, lack of dry-docking space, problems encountered during purchasing, installation and commissioning, and a systems operational practicality pertinent to the individual ship and or trade, as relevant, will be required to gain acceptance. The only recently understood unique and onerous demands of ballast water treatment system requirements for bulk carriers may prove helpful when requesting USCG future extensions, in comparison with other ship types that require a much smaller and simpler system.
Otherwise the US dry bulk market will be facing a shortfall of vessels in a few years of time, in the case where there will not be enough dry bulkers compliant with US legislation. Who is going to meet the trade demands of the United States?
THE WAY AHEAD
The conflicting demands of US legislation and the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention will require careful attention to avoid costly mistakes when assessing options going forward, especially for bulk carrier owners.
An obvious option for compliance with IMOs BWM Convention has been to take advantage of renewing the ship's IOPP Certificate immediately prior to EIF so as to give the greatest time possible for the fitting of a treatment system. This would be for a number of reasons, not least to allow time for suitable BWTS approved under the revised Type Approval requirements to become available in the market. Also the additional reprieve from considerable capital expenditure would provide time for the bulk carrier market to hopefully strengthen to justify such expenditure and verify the ships financial sustainability.
The one complexity to be considered in the equation is the possibility of MEPC 71 agreeing for ships with a scheduled survey renewal falling in the first two years following EIF to have the D-2 implementation delayed until the second survey, which would certainly be welcomed favourably by some older tonnage. However, is the chance of rejection of the proposal worth taking? One two-way possibility could be to arrange IOPP renewal to follow MEPC 71 and then decide whether or not to take-up the arrangements made dependent upon the IMO decision. Opportunities for alternative scheduling of a de-harmonised IOPP survey renewal may be limited, especially when the potential demand is considered. Owners would be well advised to make firm arrangements early to ensure completion in the requisite timing.
It is recognised that it will take time before BWMS manufacturers are able to attain type approval under the recently revised G8 procedures and make such systems available. To not take advantage of possibilities to extend implementation dates would place some owners in the injurious position of having to install 'first' generation ballast water management systems at substantial expense that may not work and may not meet the environmental objectives of the Convention.
Fortunately both the US Coast Guard and EPA to date have been found to be realistic in the implementation of the existing and in force ballast water regulations and it is hoped that this pragmatism will continue when viewing extension applications for bulk carriers with the many very real challenges bulk carrier owners face; an honest appraisal and documentation of the difficulties faced will be necessary together with a reasoned assessment of the possibilities for fitting the US type approved equipment that may be available.
In a world where efficiency and reduction of fuel consumption has become so sought after it is surely an anomaly to demand the increase of energy consumption on a separate environmental concern when virtually equivalent protection can be obtained so easily and simply. The Voltaire quote that 'the best is the enemy of the good' can easily be applied to ships ballast water management demands. The result of demanding that biological treatment systems be installed on all existing ships will no doubt result in many otherwise viable bulk carriers being scrapped due to the costs and structural work required making continued trading financially unsustainable. The energy expended and CO2 produced during scrapping and building new replacement tonnage is not considered, perhaps it should be? The protection of the environment requires a holistic approach, rather than a fragmented one.
Finally there are concerns regarding the production capacity and availability of service engineers of the approved systems manufacturers. Will they be able to meet the required demand for fitting these systems both for new build and for the existing fleet? The lack of experience with these systems cannot be underestimated. It is not known how these systems will perform in the future and whether they will be able to meet the requirements leading to potential extra burdens for the ship owners. It is only now becoming fully clear to ship owners how complex and onerous the requirements are for bulk carriers that need to be retrofitted with approved BWTS.
INTERCARGO is willing to work together with other stakeholders and BWTS manufacturers in order to resolve specific issues for existing bulk carriers. Some issues to be resolved are specifically:
– A solution for bulk carriers fitted with gravity discharged top side tanks (such as extended ballast water exchanges).
– The excessive electrical power requirements necessary with certain BWTS. These make their retrofit to many bulk carriers infeasible.
– A sensible feedback mechanism and solution in the case where a bulk carrier has taken ballast water aboard at a port outside the U.S., the BWTS has been correctly used and treatment carried out to the prescribed level, yet, on arrival in the U.S., the sampling still shows surviving micro-organisms to be above the U.S. limit.
