It's almost time, for Cowbird to lose its helium for posting our stories and deepest thoughts, and all that started for me in June of 2012. Now it is time to update and say my goodbyes to all the friends I have made on this site. I will miss all of you a great deal, reading your stories, following your paths through life, your wisdom and encouragement, and I hope to see you on another site.
It's amazing how many times we talk about seeing and site/sight, visioning/envisioning and other words emphasizing our visual acuity. It is a sense that we don't usually dwell on, and possibly take it for granted, and yet it is important for us in getting around and performing many of our life tasks with care and safety.
I don't want to leave people hanging, so the update on my 'sight', (wet macular degeneration in right eye), is that I saw the retina specialist in Monday, had more tests, dye put in my blood stream to see what was going on with the fluid and blood vessels in the back of my eye, and then had a shot in my eyeball. My eye is currently very messed up and they hope they caught it in time. The shots will continue once a month, possibly forever and maybe not.
They are hoping they can get my sight back to what it was before the cataract surgery, which would be fine, I would have to continue wearing glasses to drive, and if I'm very lucky it might go back to the wonderful vision I had after the cataract surgery. I will not envision a lesser possibility. He told me to not have the cataract removed from my good eye, and although it is not showing wet AMD, it could develop it after cataract removal and it isn't very bad yet. I have booked a ride to the doctor for the shot next month, with public transportation picking me up and bringing me home as I live in the country and a distance from the vision clinic and I can't drive afterwards. I had pain and blurry vision for part of the next day, also.
My good eye, is taking over much of the seeing, and both eyes get tired easily so I must rest them frequently and have reduced my reading time until my vision gets better. I continue my positive visualizations for my eyes, and have gratitude and appreciation for the sight in my left eye. And I'm thinking ahead, to leaving the lake and moving closer to children/grandchildren who live in another state, several hours away. We shall 'see' what the future will bring.
Much blessings to all of you. See you around.

I am using my sql azure database in my local machine's sql server management studio 2008 r2. What my issue is, I am trying to take backup of a database from my c# console application using the following methods:

*

*using smo: showing error at "sqlBackup(server)" method.

*using "backup database" command, this showing command not supported in this version of sql server. After searching in internet, i found that this command wont support for azure databases in ssms.
Can anyone please provide me solution to solve this.

A: You can not backup the Database in Azure Sql Service. When try to Backup Shows this Error

Statement 'BACKUP DATABASE' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.

So Backup Azure SQL Service by
Right Click on Db --> Tasks --> Export data Tier Application --> Set Location
Creates a bacpac file after export,   then it can be import via this
Note: Be aware there are export and extract. The extract option only copies the schema, so if you need the data as wel make sure to use the export variant.

A: For security reasons, SQL server instance doesn't allow database migrations between two different target servers such as local and azure or vice versa.
The below tool can help run the scripts on one server to another. Keep in mind that when you run them it restores the schema and the data fully. You can alter the settings in Advanced option.

Jewish LGBT Group Nehirim Will Shut Down
Community programming for LGBT Jews is on the rise, and non-profits are struggling to keep up
By Rachel Delia Benaim
Nehirim, an organization that provides programming and support for the Jewish LGBTQ community, announced in a May 4 newsletter that the company will be shutting its doors by the end of the year. Nehirim Chair Corey Friedlander wrote, "After months of consulting with organizational development professionals, we concluded that while Nehirim programming has a strong future, Nehirim as an organization is no longer necessary."
The decision to close Nehirim highlights a significant shift in the American Jewish LGBT landscape. "11 years ago the world was a very different place for LGBTQ Jews," said Rabbi Debra Kolodny, Nehirim's Executive Director. "There weren't programs." Now, however, some form of an LGBT support system has become commonplace in Jewish communities across the U.S.
"When Nehirim began in 2004, there were a handful of LGBT synagogues, and only a few truly welcoming congregations outside major metropolitan areas," said Jay Michaelson, a Jewish writer and activist who founded Nehirim. "[Nehirim] met a pressing need for a place for LGBT Jews to build spiritual community together. In 2015, that need is no longer present outside the Orthodox community."
As a result, other Jewish LGBT groups have quietly closed down over the last year as well. GLYDSA, which started in the 1990s as an anonymous resource for Orthodox alumni of yeshiva schools, shut down its monthly meetings this past winter. Keshet, the Jewish LGBT advocacy group, also just closed its Denver office for good at the end of 2014. And LIGALY, a Long Island based LGBT resource for Jews, shut down last year as well, after receiving significant funding from the UJA over the last two years.
Since 2004, Nehirim has served the Jewish LGBT community with programming that includes Camp Nehirim, a summer program for queer Jewish adults; a women's retreat at the Isabella Friedman Center in Connecticut; and a queer clergy program. Some of Nehirim's most successful programs will outlive the organization, and will be taken over by other groups that will continue Nehirim's mission.
Noam Parness, a queer Orthodox Jew who participated in Nehirim events, was saddened by the announcement. "I think the organization has provided really beautiful and explorative spiritual space for queer Jews, so that loss might be felt," Parness said. "Eshel serves much of the function that I desired to find in Nehirim, though in some ways I found Nehirim more accommodating to my queerness and my Judaism."
The fact that Nehirim is closing is a cautionary tale for similar LGBT organizations, such as Jewish Queer Youth. "This may serve as a wake-up call to both funders and organizations working with the LGBT Jewish population," said JQY's founder and director Mordechai Levovitz. "Ideas are great, capacity is great, and development is great…but if there isn't a consistent buy-in from the community, then you run the risk of making an organization for the organization's sake. And this is not sustainable."
Michaelson, Nehirim's founder, said that the decision to close his organization could be a model for other non-profit organizations. "I think this is what nonprofits should do: when their core mission is accomplished, they should transition or close."

When it comes to protecting your vehicle's paint, Clear Bra also known a Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an excellent option for providing an additional layer of protection to your vehicle without compromising style. This is not your Dad's clear bra. Gone are the days of 1/3 covered hoods and fenders where after a few months you can clearly see the line between the PPF and the paint. Recent advancements in clear bra technology enable us to cover full panels including hoods and fenders, and virtually any panel. This film is extremely clear, stain resistant and even has a Self Healing top coat that eliminates the dreaded swirls that plague both unprotected paint and clear bra of yesteryear.
Clear Bra is an incredibly clear, polyurethane, invisible film. It helps prevent damage from gravel, rocks, bugs, road salt, magnesium chloride, tree sap and scratches. We encourage protection to the parts of cars most prevalent to damage including the front bumper, hood, front mirrors and headlights. There is also the option to cover the entire car. Clear Bra should be installed by an experienced auto detailing professional. Whenever possible, we utilize a plotter and cutting software where we can produce customized patterns to fit your car perfectly and offers. Our experience also allows us to perform custom "bulk cut" installations whenever necessary. It's important to select a reputable brand such as XPEL so you don't have to worry about the film cracking, peeling or yellowing.
This generation of clear bra is nothing like how it started out. It's virtually invisible, self-healing, and guaranteed protection.
Because of the complimentary benefits, a lot of our Ceramic Pro jobs end up getting full front ends or just from bumpers or rocker panels or behind the back wheels or whatever the case may be. We do the PPF and then it's very clear that the addition of Ceramic Pro coatings keeps that PPF or vinyl wrap working and looking good for longer. Ceramic Pro also has the hydrophobic top coat, so it's much easier to keep clean, even more so than just a vinyl wrap on its onw. I would say the majority of our matte or flat wraps that we do, full customer wraps that we do, our color change wraps, we end up doing Ceramic Pro over, just for the ease of maintenance and especially extending the life of the vinyl.
Xpel is one of the industry's most respected films. We carry Xpel Ultimate a ten year film.. It's virtually invisible and its self-healing effects mean that you rarely, if ever, have a problem with rips or tears in the film. If you do, the warranty's got your back. We've been known to protect vehicles with anywhere from simple bumper coverage all the way up to a full-vehicle wrap. Clear bra is the only paint protection solution that can protect against rock chips, so it's especially important for those who do a lot of track driving in exotic cars, or for daily drivers that travel on the St. Louis highways a lot.

This is the first time that my Tacoma registration expired on my travels. Since the registration lasts 2 years and last year was the first year with my Tacoma, here I was at the RTR finding out that my Tacoma registration expires at the end of February.
I wish I had thought of the expiration before I left as I may have been able to renew online early.
I have worked the inspection of the inspection sticker back to December to have it done before I left. Now I'm faced wineeding to renew the registration.
Actually renewing the registration is easy online. The hard part is getting the new registration card and registration sticker for license plates that Massachusets uses to visually indicate an active registration.
This means I need to get the registration and sticker that will be mailed to my house. As with my recent new credit card, I will have it delivered to my son's house in San Diego, and take a trip over to see the family and pick it up before the end of February.
I may wish to replace my registration with a new one to have the renewal happens when I'm home.

The 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was held from May 17 to 23 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Because of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first of two events for mixed doubles teams to qualify for the 2022 Olympics as part of the 2022 Winter Olympic Qualification process. The top seven National Olympic Committee teams from the championship qualified directly for the Olympics. China, as the host country for the Olympics, was already guaranteed an entry for a team selected by its national Olympic committee. The remaining two qualifying teams were determined at the 2021 Olympic Qualification Event, which was open to any nation that qualified for the 2020 or 2021 world mixed doubles championships (not already qualified for the Olympics) as well as the top three nations from the 2021 Pre-Olympic Qualification Event.

Qualification
The following nations qualified to participate in the 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship:  Pursuant to a December 2020 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport due to the Russian doping scandal, Russia is prohibited from competing under its flag or any national symbols at any Olympic Games or world championships through 16 December 2022, and therefore the Russian team is competing neutrally representing the Russian Curling Federation (RCF).

Even the largest pharmaceutical companies have a lot to learn about the state and location of their shipments. Forces are at work to change this industry from logistics laggards to leaders.
The pharmaceutical supply chain is complex and the ability to track and trace products throughout the healthcare industry's production and delivery cycles is becoming essential to ensure public safety. But for pharmaceutical manufacturers those capabilities also represent important cost savings opportunities—opportunities they traditionally hadn't considered until market forces started narrowing their profit margins.
Today's pharmaceutical industry may not be the model of supply chain efficiency and best practices, but give it just a couple more years. By that time, those pharma companies left standing after healthcare reform, new FDA regulations and global economic forces have had their way with them will be both logistically efficient and technologically savvy. Right now pharmaceutical manufacturers are mapping their way to that future.
No pharma company has had that safety message drummed into it more powerfully than Johnson & Johnson. Its McNeil consumer healthcare unit has been involved in several recalls related to product contamination. Last year MH&L reported on recalls identifying wood pallets as a possible source of product contamination. Bob Douglass, consultant and commodity manager for J&J McNeil, says this has been an important lesson for managing chain-of-custody.
J&J McNeil now makes sure the wood pallets in its supply chain are heat treated and that every supplier in the chain of custody, from the primary to secondary suppliers as well as the raw materials manufacturers, changed their procedures for purchasing pallets.
The FDA is raising the quality bar significantly for the entire pharmaceutical industry—and not just because of the recent J&J McNeil experience. With thinning profit margins, these companies realize they can no longer do everything themselves.
A supply chain's global reach makes establishing an electronic pedigree for the products traveling through it an important goal—one that many states in the U.S. are taking different routes to reach.
EPCglobal, the electronic data collection standards-making body, ratified an international Pedigree Standard in 2007. It specifies an XML description of the life history of a pharmaceutical product as it travels the supply chain. However, most states don't go much further than requiring that these data get communicated—whether as text files, PDFs or spreadsheets.
California has gone the furthest in specifying an automated chain of information including advanced track and trace technology using the appropriate communication enablers (bar codes or RFID). The California Board of Pharmacy's (CBoP) requirements will be phased in between 2015 and 2017, mandating an "interoperable electronic system" that will communicate a transaction from the pharma manufacturer all the way to the dispensing of the "saleable unit" drug product.
According to the director of a leading global pharmaceutical firm (who requested anonymity for this article), a company's approach to ePedigree, should be that during packaging of the finished goods, global trade item numbers (GTINs) are serialized at the unit level, and in combination with the already established Global Location Number, a company will know what it is and where it came from.
According to California's requirements, by 2015 all pharma manufacturers will need to have half of their products serialized. The remainder will have to follow suit in 2016. If the Federal FDA supersedes California's requirements as it has said it would, it may put its own Standard Numerical Identifier law in place, having one track-and-trace/ePedigree program for the U.S. vs. 50 independent ones. It is assumed that will be OK with California.
"They're begging for that because they don't want people to not trade with California because they can go to Nevada instead," our source says.
But in the pharmaceutical world, saying this will happen and making it happen are two different things. Although manufacturers acknowledge it makes sense for inventory management, demand planning and supply chain security, many feel it will be hard to pull off in their multi-tiered supply chains.
With generic drugs taking the profit margin away from branded therapeutic drugs, pharmaceutical manufacturers are shifting their attention to temperature-sensitive bio-pharmaceuticals. These may represent more profit, but they also have more handling requirements—especially when it comes to maintaining a constant temperature throughout the global supply chain. That's where e-pedigree requirements may move from regulatory nuisance to industry best practice.
There are 37 worldwide government regulations, the most recent being Saudi Arabia and UAE, and all have mandated electronic monitoring. That means shipping 20 pallets for $X,000 from point A to B will double in cost thanks to the addition of active and passive shippers as well as electronic monitors as part of the import paperwork.
"Now that we have the World Health Organization and 30 other countries getting on board saying you will do supply chain maintenance and product serialization, temperature management and monitoring, logistics becomes a big factor, when it never was before," our source adds.
Right now pharmaceutical supply and operations planning is all about push. The goal with serialization will be to master the reverse supply chain as well as recall management. And, by the way, that will also improve S&OP.
If the major pharmaceutical companies were forced to adopt e-pedigree sooner, but within their own enterprises, many would already have one of the major raw materials: an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. And according to Brian Hudock, a partner with Tompkins Associates, supply chain consultants, most of these companies have very strong ERPs which let them know the state of every product in their plants and DCs.
Where it is working, logistics efficiencies are resulting in substantial paybacks. Hudock tells of one of the big pharma medical suppliers which looked at ordering patterns to see how hospital groups purchase. Many send P.O.s several times a day across the same product grouping. Historically the pharma companies have treated those as individual orders and packaged them as such. That could mean sending 25 parcels to the same customer address.
Recognizing the growing need for pharmaceutical manufacturers to master the ins and outs of e-pedigree, transportation providers like UPS are working with the industry to provide solutions that address not only compliance, but benefits that can be achieved before compliance has to kick in. For example, UPS has worked with Genzyme Pharmaceutical in Cambridge, Mass., over the last three years on e-pedigree serialization. In the process both companies have learned lessons that apply to today's pharmaceutical supply chain. Technology provides one important example.
While California made recommendations to use RFID technology at the item level for e-pedigree, UPS and Genzyme decided to go with 1D and 2D bar-coding and to modify existing EDI interfaces as the mode for communications. The reasons for moving away from RFID were primarily because the impacts of RFID on sensitive healthcare products are still unknown and the technology still has issues with liquids, which comprise many of the new biopharmaceuticals.
Using data collection technologies, Genzyme will now be better able to tell exactly where its products have been distributed—all the way down to the individual "bottle" level. This further secures the healthcare supply chain because consignees can now validate that a product received from Genzyme was actually manufactured by Genzyme, and Genzyme can now determine the origins of any products that appear in a diverted market, further securing the process.
Kevin McPherson, global marketing director for UPS, adds that these new temperature sensitive products will require a new shift in focus to what goes on inside the primary packaging.
According to McPherson, the pharma industry has designed its solutions around the "happy transportation path"—where a positive outcome will happen all the time. However, weather, catastrophic events and human error conspire against that outcome, so managing the 1 or 2% of the time those shipments won't make it on time becomes a priority because a patient's health is at risk.
"We have to move from a mentality of solving problems with packaging to solving them proactively with visibility tools," McPherson concludes.
While the pharmaceutical industry learns how to apply visibility tools for patient safety, it is learning that technology can also be applied to environmental safety—or at least sustainability.
Pharma wholesaler McKesson Corp. worked with IBM Corp. on an initiative to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as trim drug distribution costs. McKesson supplies one-third of the prescription drugs used by hospitals and pharmacies in North America, providing pharmaceuticals to more than 40,000 health locations in the U.S.
This wholesaler is using IBM's Supply Chain Sustainability Management Solution (SCSM), a Web-based analytical tool, to determine the value of keeping pharmaceuticals that need to be kept cold, such as insulin and vaccines, in one central refrigeration facility. The engines in the tool calculate inventory costs, and the potential reduction in carbon emissions, against the option of keeping such products in all its warehouses.
The tool takes into account data on all the energy consuming equipment McKesson has in its warehousing and transportation operations, including lift trucks, conveyers, refrigerators, HVAC and trucks, along with their specifications and hours of operation. Based on this information, the tool estimates energy use and carbon emissions relating to supply chain activities and reports on them by operation, site, product, or other categories.
Each of the players in the pharmaceutical supply chain has an incentive to identify efficiencies that will benefit all trading partners. Whether the incentive is regulatory-, economically- or environmentally-based, the safety and health of every consumer will be the ultimate payback.

While reading comments about Barb's beautiful Zentangle gourd, I noticed our sugar and creamer on our kitchen table.
Maria found this container when we needed a sugar bowl but it didn't have a cover. She walked down to Aubuchon's (our local hardware store) and bought a cork and a wood drawer pull. She found a screw and a washer and there you have it - with a little help from a Pigma 01 pen of course.
Our creamer is decorated with one of those foam spacers that come in a bulk DVD container. Since no surface is safe, it soon sported a Zentangle and now sits happily on our non-dairy creamer.
You can create a Zentangle on just about anything using materials, tools and skills you have right now. Every creation need not be a grand affair. Often, getting ready to create can crowd out actually creating. Look around you. There's probably something within reach right now that is just waiting to get "tangled." Jump in - no fear!
Good advice - and oh yes... my white bathroom wall is crying out "Doodle me! Doodle me!!"
My doodly friends are now brimming with ideas for things to tangle. So joyfully infectious!
I bet there are a lot of us "tangler's" out there now, searching around for the next surface to create a piece of art!

The word "Gospel" means "Good News". And yet, the gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the most misunderstood teachings within today's Church.
So, what was "The Good News" according to Jesus? Your understanding of the "Good News" will be revolutionized and will send you on your way full of joy, empowerment, and expectation.
Because, after all, this is what good news is supposed to do.
The definition of purpose: The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
"People who know God and their specific purpose, you will notice, are the ones who are the light of the world. The others live in utter darkness."
"Christianity is the greatest religion in the world, but it is such a shame that its never been lived out."
"At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. But he said, " I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea."
After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God has come near. repent and believe the good news!"
As a side note, it seems to me a scary prospect that since the Church isn't busy preaching " The good news of the Kingdom", we might this way be postponing His second coming.
" It will be done to you according to your faith (Matthew 9:29). If you do not believe the word of God concerning what you were given through the Holy Spirit, you will not experience it."
Guiding you through the turbulent economic and political times of the 21st century, Munroe explores why power is the pursuit of all humankind; ways to make the kingdom function in your life; why religion can't solve your problems; how governments will continue to fail us; and more. This expanded edition includes a 40-day devotional. 411 pages, softcover from Destiny Image.


FEMA released an update to RR2 today.

I wonder what those minor adjustments are. I do notice that iOS 8 is required.


Frozen in a living grave. - Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.
Frozen in a living grave.
That's what it feels like. So painfully fatigued, it is impossible to sleep. Waking with a racing heart - and so tired it was like you never slept at all. Brain problems. Gut problems. No energy. You are forever hitting a brick wall. Half your life is a horrific migraine. You lose your hair. You lose your fingerprints! You lose your empathy and personality. You cannot plan or imagine, most of the time. Every effort has 1,000 equal and very opposite reactions. People target you for shame, because they think you are the big lie. If you had no means to fight back, then they would blithely cull you from their herd. You fight back and end up alone. All you want to do is sleep. And it never, ever, ends. Until you die, a wasted life.
TED Fellow Jen Brea was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis, or CFS … and was told that her symptoms were caused by something all in her head. She's fighting back.
PS - Note my icon above. It is a glorific tiger. After I got the illness, I sometimes dreamt of a tiger. This happened prior to some recovery of energy the next day. I later found out that this dream is common to people with CFS, (aka, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). The tiger represents REAL energy. It arises from something deep in our genetic history; it arises from something in Nature's vast Unconscious, stretching infinitely in time and space. It is a living, Jungian archetype. A candle in the wind. A tiger in your tank.

STUNNING scenery and wonderful wildlife is being brought indoors for patients in a Yorkshire hospice – thanks to a project which has seen striking images caught on camera ready to be displayed in a new in-patient ward.
Members of the Leeds Photographic Society have captured the images to provide talking points for residents and their families at the Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice in Headingley, Leeds.
And now, thanks to financial backing from Neil Hudgell Solicitors, they are being produced ready to go on display, with many depicting areas in and around the city where patients lived and grew up.
Donna Woodman, regional fundraising manager for the hospice, says both patients and staff are looking forward to the 12 large acrylic pictures going on display.
"This has been a real community project and the Leeds Photographic Society has been tremendous in their support," she said.
"I have seen the pictures taken by the members and they are really striking, and I am sure they will really be a focal point for our patients. We love to provide something to stir peoples' memories and help them to remember the good times.
The project has been made possible by support from our community Trust, which supports projects across Yorkshire with financial support through its community trust.
It has provided close to £1,000 to make this project possible, covering the cost of converting the images into striking wall displays.
Ian Wray, vice chairman of the Leeds Photographic Society, which was formed in 1852 and is the longest established in the world, said it had been a hugely rewarding project for their members to be involved in.
"We were delighted to be asked by the hospice to provide these images for patients, and we are sure they will be very popular when they are on the walls," said Mr Wray.
"They bring the beauty of Yorkshire landscapes and nature inside for the patients, and hopefully it will help take their minds off their own health situations and let them focus on something stunning.
Jo Hudgell, head of the Trust, says this is exactly the kind of project it is delighted to support.
The medical negligence and personal injury specialist has ploughed more than £80,000 into community projects and good causes across Yorkshire over the past two years, and is currently accepting new applications ahead of its latest deadline on Monday, March 31.
"Our aim is always to give something back to the community by supporting projects which have a positive impact on lives," said Mrs Hudgell.
"As well as focusing on those which help raise aspirations in the young, we have been keen to identify projects which support the elderly and vulnerable, and this is doing just that.
Wheatfields Hospice provides palliative care for over 2,500 people living with incurable illnesses each year in the north west, west and south of Leeds.
Established over 35 years ago, Sue Ryder not only provides specialist medical care to ease pain and discomfort, but also offers people and their families real emotional support during what can be extremely difficult times.

We are proud to have helped shape many of Singapore's iconic developments and landmarks. Here are a few of the projects that use our highly specialised concrete solutions.
changi-terminal-3
Changi Airport Terminal 3
Singapore, 2007
Developer: Changi Airport Group Category: Commercial
As the sole concrete provider for Changi Airport Terminal 3, Pan-United partnered with the project owner to develop structural lightweight concrete, , known as PanU Lite® for the roofing of the terminal. The lighter concrete roof enabled the terminal to be built with slim pillars that enhanced the spacious high-roofed ambience of the halls.
deep-tunnel-sewerage-system
Deep Tunnel Sewerage System
Developer: PUB Category: Infrastructure
The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is a massive used-water superhighway designed to meet Singapore's long-term clean water needs. Set for completion in 2022, its integrated structure of 80 kilometres long tunnels carved 50 metres deep underground will carry sewage to three water reclamation plants. There, the waste matter will be reclaimed and purified into high-grade water. The DTSS development uses a specialised PanU Anti-CorrosionTM concrete that can withstand extreme physical and chemical assaults from waste water and acid.
downtown-line
MRT Downtown Line & MRT Stations
Developer: Land Transport Authority Category: Infrastructural
PanU SpraycreteTM, or fast-setting sprayed concrete, was used to line the underground tunnels of phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Downtown Line and Circle Line. These amounted to more than 60 kilometres of underground MRT lines.
Pan-United was the sole concrete provider to numerous train stations and depots across Singapore. These include Bukit Panjang, Hillview, Cashew, Expo, Upper Changi, Tampines, Tampines West, Bedok Reservoir, Bedok Town Park, Kaki Bukit, Mattar, River Valley,Tai Seng and more.
funan-mall
Funan Mall
Developer: Capitaland Category: Commercial
Funan Mall presents a new standard for retail malls with cool offerings including a 200-metre cycling lane, a rock-climbing wall and a high-tech food court. Built at the heart of the Singapore CBD, Funan was an ideal case for PanU LSS® (Liquified Soil Stabiliser). Its construction within a heavily congested area was made easier with the high fluidity and self-compacting properties of the LSS that does not require noisy vibrators to settle the concrete.
gardens-by-the-bay
Developer: Gardens By The Bay Category: Commercial
The much-loved Gardens by the Bay is a 101-hectare (250 acre) multi-award winning horticultural destination on reclaimed land, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. Its two seashell-domed greenhouses use PanU GreenTM concrete with a high design mix content of recycled raw materials. The project also found various uses for PanU ColourTM concrete, which further saved on painting and manpower.
guoco-tower
Guoco Tower
Developer: GuocoLand Category: Commercial
The tallest building in Singapore, Guoco Tower, formerly known as Tanjong Pagar Centre, was completed in 2017. The 64-storey, 290-metre-high mixed-use project was designed with a mix of luxury residential, hotel and office space.
Pan-United broke the record for the single largest self-compacting concrete (SCC) pour in Singapore by supplying 13,500m3 of concrete – enough to fill five Olympic-sized swimming pools – to create a gigantic raft foundation. The pour employed a continuous convoy of trucks at precise intervals over just 41 hours, at one truck every one-and-a-half minutes.
helix-bridge
Developer: Urban Redevelopment Authority, Singapore Category: Commercial
Inspired by the human DNA, the Helix Bridge is one of Singapore's architectural icons. The aesthetically pleasing Helix Bridge is embedded with PanU Watercrete®, a specialised concrete with anti-wash and self-compacting properties. Its structural concrete columns are formed with PanU Watercrete® which flows and casts underwater naturally – unlike conventional concrete that requires time and costs to pump out water before filling the columns.
jewel-changi-airport
Jewel Changi Airport
Developer: Changi Airport Group/CapitaLand/Jewel Changi Airport Trustee Pte. Ltd. Category: Commercial
Truly a gem amongst Singapore's iconic attractions, the award-winning Jewel Changi Airport is a uniquely conceived, airport-adjacent retail and entertainment hub designed by prominent architect Moshe Safdie. The Jewel emphasises harmony between nature and the urban environment, the Jewel is world-renown for awe-inspiring sights that include the world's tallest indoor waterfall and Asia's largest interior garden.
A structure as intricate as Jewel required the use of multiple specialised concretes that lowered its carbon footprint. Among them were PanU GreenTM , a concrete with high recycled raw material content, and the highly flowable PanU SCC® (Self-Compacting Concrete) to ensure uniform distribution of concrete, which is ideal for building in the sensitive environment of an airport.
labrador-mass-pour
Labrador Mass Pour
Developer: SP PowerAssets Limited Category: Infrastructure
In November 2020, Pan-United achieved a new national record for the largest two continuous concrete pours within a month. A total of 37,258m3 of concrete, enough to fill 14 Olympic swimming pools, was poured non-stop in two separate pours, each lasting three days. Mixer truck convoys delivered the concrete non-stop every 60 seconds.
PanU CoolTM was used specifically to minimise the possibility of thermal cracking and to improve structural durability. Safe distancing was enhanced with the use of a new concrete called PanU NewGen SCCTM that needs only a single worker to direct the flowing concrete. Safety was also boosted with new digital processes such as e-delivery orders and e-sampling.
landmark-81
Vietnam, 2018
Developer: Vinhomes Category: Commercial
The ultra-chic Atkins-designed Landmark 81 skyscraper is Vietnam's tallest building. The 81-storey high-end mixed-use tower will soar 461 metres high from a square footprint as 25 remarkable thin sections of various heights. Located along the Saigon River in Binh Thanh District, near Saigon Bridge, Landmark 81 is part of a S$1.5 billion luxury multi-functional ecological urban project. A combination of PanU SCCTM (Self-Compacting Concrete), PanU CoolTM (Temperature-Controlled concrete) and PanU Early StrengthTM concrete was specially formulated to shape this feat.
national-cancer-centre
National Cancer Centre
Developer: Ministry of Health Category: Healthcare
The National Cancer Centre offers premier healthcare and houses the largest number of medical personnel dedicated to the research and treatment of cancer. When fully completed in 2022, its proton therapy facilities will provide the latest in radiation treatment that precisely targets and destroys cancer cells.
These facilities are built with PanU Shield® concrete to protect and ensure safety against harmful radiation hazards. PanU Shield® helps to reduce the thickness of walls to one-sixth of conventional concrete, thus saving on space. Best, using this concrete lowers the carbon footprint as less concrete, and thus cement, is used.
saigon-centre
Saigon Centre
Developer: Saigon Centre Category: Commercial
Centrally located along Ho Chi Minh's Le Loi Boulevard, one of the city's main thoroughfares, Saigon Centre is a high-end mixed-use development with office, retail and service apartment blocks. PanU SCCTM (Self-Compacting Concrete) was one of the types of concrete used to shape Phase 2 of this project, which comprises a shopping mall with Takashimaya as the anchor tenant.
singapore-sports-hub
Developer: Singapore Sports Council Category: Commercial
The Singapore Sports Hub is a state-of-the-art sporting facility and an entertainment and lifestyle hub. In addition to its 55,000-capacity stadium, the Sports Hub has an aquatic centre, a multi-sport indoor arena, as well as a water sports facility. This national sporting emblem was built with a range of PanU GreenTM concrete using low-carbon cement and recycled aggregates..
surbana-jurong-campus
Surbana Jurong Campus
Developer: Surbana Jurong Category: Infrastructure
Surbana Jurong brings office spaces into the future with its sprawling new Surbana Jurong Campus. The 68,915sqm office park and industrial complex hosts a wide spectrum of enterprises involving advanced manufacturing, urban solutions, smart logistics as well as their new headquarters in Singapore. Designed by the famed architect Moshe Safdie, the campus paves the way for sustainable design in both construction and operation.
The campus is built with sustainable types of concrete that incorporate carbon mineralisation technology. Such concrete permanently trap industrially-emitted carbon dioxide, reducing the environmental carbon footprint.
11-tampines-concourse
11 Tampines Concourse
Developer: City Developments Limited Category: Commercial Office
11 Tampines Concourse is the first CarbonNeutral® development in Singapore and the Asia Pacific. It is a fully green office space conveniently located near a wide selection of eateries, shopping malls, entertainment venues and sporting facilities. Its eco-friendly design has won many accolades and was made possible with the help of PanU GreenTM – a more resilient and stronger concrete mix that uses recycled raw materials.
the-interlace
The Interlace
Developer: CapitaLand & Hotel Properties Limited (HPL) Category: Residential
This remarkable condominium project designed by world-renowned architect, Ole Scheeren, clinched the World Building of the Year title at the World Architecture Festival 2015. An engineering marvel in itself, this architectural gem is iconic for its bold design of stacked-up apartments. In a first for Singapore's construction industry, it required our PanU Hi-StrengthTM Concrete Grade 80, approximately twice the normal grade of 40, to ensure maximum structural stability for its unique design.


The Red-Billed Quelea migration is performed in various parts of Africa. The timing of the migration depends on the timing of rains and how the front moves. Referred to as "itinerant breeding", female Red-Billed Quelea birds are able to produce a succession of broods in the same breeding season at colonies which may be very far apart, likely with different mates. These super colonies can grow to millions of birds, making it not only the most abundant bird in the world, but the most destructive. Their huge numbers make them a constant threat to fields of sorghum, wheat, barley, millet and rice. Watching the birds in flight is mesmerizing.

Phase I ESA – assessment follows ASTM Standards – identifies existing or potential environmental liabilities, including the physical property as well as the land. Air, soil, groundwater and building materials are generally sampled to determine the possibility that hazardous substances are present. Sampling and analysis in a laboratory are not included.
Phase II Supplemental Hazardous Material Sampling – in order to confirm whether contamination is present samples are collected and analyzed. Investigation methods and results are documented for a complete report.
AST/UST Storage Tank Monitoring and Recordkeeping in regards to Leak Detection – services include ensuring that USTs meet specifications and are monitored for possible leaks. Records will be kept properly and reporting of leaks will be handled properly.
AST/UST Storage Tank Removal Sampling and Certification – field personnel are trained to follow strict policies regarding health and safety when dealing with samples and certification.
Environmental Impact Studies, also Wetland Assessment -determine the possible impact, either positive or negative, that the project might have on the local environment, particularly with regard to Wetlands.
When are Environmental Site Assessments (ESA's) Necessary?
There are a number of reasons for an ESA including the purchase of a property by a new owner, getting a loan from a new lender, or a requested change of use for the property in question. If a property owner wants to know the history of the property as it relates to the environment or if a regulatory agency has concerns about the possible contamination of the site an ESA may be performed. H2 Environmental Consulting Services has the expertise necessary to perform an ESA when it is needed.
If you want to have an ESA performed or an ESA is mandated by a regulatory agency, contact H2 Environmental Consulting Services for thorough and professional services.

Controversial $9.3m Arms Scandal: Okotie asks Oritsejafor to resign as CAN President
Reverend Chris Okotie, the founder of the Household of God Church, Lagos, western Nigeria, has asked the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to resign as the leader of the Christian community in Nigeria in order to salvage what remains of the battered image of the religious association.
Okotie made the call in reaction to the controversies surrounding the use of the CAN leader's private jet to smuggle $9.3 million into South Africa allegedly for purchase of arms and ammunition.
The Federal Government of Nigeria claimed it had a hand in the deal. The cash was seized in South Africa on 5 September from two Nigerians and an Israeli who brought it into the country in the jet .
In his opinion entitled: '$9.3m Scandal: Oritsejafor Should Do The Right Thing', published on the back page of Daily Sun on Friday, Okotie expressed dissatisfaction with the CAN boss for compromising the integrity of his esteemed office.
The televangelist called for Oritsejafor's resignation, saying that he has not only compromised his leadership position due to his alleged involvement in the scandal but also because of his "indiscretion in indentifying too closely with President Goodluck Jonathan in a way that suggests a veiled endorsement of policies and actions by the entire Christian community."
Okotie added that Oritsejafor should step down because "his abrasive leadership style has also polarized the Christian community as evidenced by the current unprecedented division in CAN."
He wrote: "Not that it is a sin to be the President's pal, but when such relationship becomes provocatively patronizing, or self-serving, it is unacceptable. The pastor (Oritsejafor) does not show restraint in the way he goes about, publicly hobnobbing with the President as if he is the Chaplain of Aso Rock. This certainly has compromised the integrity of his office as CAN President and his latest incident is just the climax of embarrassing incidents we can't tolerate any longer. Considering the collateral damage Pastor Ayo's close relationship with the President has done to the Christian community, it is fit and proper for the pastor to resign immediately as CAN President to salvage what remains of the battered image of the association.
"This is without prejudice to the on-going investigation on the matter. Denials of his culpability by the Federal Government, CAN officials and his own recent defence, do nothing to reduce the moral burden this whole saga places on his shoulders. As the titular leader of Christians in Nigeria, there's now a serious crisis of confidence on his leadership and he ought to respond to it by resigning from his exalted position."
Okotie questioned the CAN president's involvement in public quarrels with the President's critics, from the Muslim faith as well as in the opposition.
"In a nation of contending faiths, Pastor Ayo literally ignores our divergent religious sensibilities as he sometimes gets himself involved in public quarrels with the President's critics, from the Muslim faith as well as in the opposition. Not all Christians are comfortable with this posture by their leader, especially at a time of intense politicking and the sectarian tensions generated by the Boko Haram insurgents and communal violence involving ethnic minorities with entrenched religious identities.
"Before now, leaders of this organization deliberately stayed out of politics in keeping with the traditional stance of neutrality of the body vis-a-viz the policy postures of incum- bent governments. In fact, former PFN leader like the late Archbishop Benson Idohosa and ex-CAN President, Olubunmi Cardinal Okogie, kept governments on their toes during their time…But here, we are dealing with Pastor Ayo as the leader of CAN; the largest umbrella of Nigerian Christians. He is condemned to be judged by secular standards, which, in this case, demands that, having found himself in a quagmire which calls to question the sanctity of his office, he must step down to redeem his image," Okotie wrote.

La ley de Sturgeon es un adagio derivado de una cita del escritor de ciencia ficción Theodore Sturgeon: "Nothing is always absolutely so", traducible por "Nada es siempre así en todo" o "No existe la absoluta verdad".

Es comúnmente utilizado como introducción a la Revelación de Sturgeon, otro aforismo que dice que "el noventa por ciento de todo es basura" (versiones menos sutiles sustituyen la última palabra por "mierda").

La revelación de Sturgeon sustituye a la Ley de Sturgeon en el Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

Corolarios

La revelación de Sturgeon tiene los siguiente corolarios:

 La existencia de una enorme cantidad de basura en ciencia-ficción es un hecho verificado y lamentable. Dicho esto, el hecho no es más pronunciado que la existencia de basura en todos lados.
 La mejor ciencia-ficción es tan buena como la mejor ficción en cualquier otro campo.
