If not, service by mail may be attempted again or other methods authorized by these rules or by statute may be used.
(1) Upon an individual other than an unmarried infant or an incompetent person, by delivering a copy of the summons and of the complaint to the individual personally, or if he or she evades or attempts to evade service, by leaving copies thereof at the individual's dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein, whose name shall appear on the proof of service, or by delivering the copies to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the individual served.

If none of the persons defined and enumerated above exist, the court shall appoint a practicing attorney as guardian ad litem to whom the copies shall be delivered. If any of the persons directed by this paragraph to be served is a plaintiff, then the person who is not a plaintiff who stands next in the order named above shall be served. In addition to the service provided in this paragraph, service shall also be made on an unmarried infant who is fourteen (14) years of age or more, and who is not otherwise incompetent.
(10) Service by mail of a summons and complaint upon a defendant may be made by the plaintiff, the plaintiff's attorney or by any person authorized by statute. After the complaint is filed, the clerk shall, upon request, furnish the original summons, a certified copy thereof and a copy of the filed complaint to the plaintiff, the plaintiff's attorney or other authorized person for service by mail. Such person shall send, postage prepaid, a certified copy of the summons and a copy of the complaint by registered return receipt or certified return receipt mail to the defendant.

Service by mail shall not be the basis for the entry of a judgment by default unless the record contains a return receipt showing personal acceptance by the defendant or by persons designated by Rule 4.04 or statute. If service by mail is unsuccessful, it may be tried again or other methods authorized by these rules or by statute may be used.

(5) When service of summons, process, or notice is provided for or permitted by registered or certified mail, under the laws of Tennessee, and the addressee, or the addressee's agent, refuses to accept delivery, and it is so stated in the return receipt of the United States Postal Service, the written return receipt, if returned and filed in the action, shall be deemed an actual and valid service of the summons, process, or notice. Service by mail is complete upon mailing. For purposes of this paragraph, the United States Postal Service notation that a properly addressed registered or certified letter is "unclaimed," or other similar notation, is sufficient evidence of the defendant's refusal to accept delivery.
(g) shall provide the defendant with an extra copy of the notice and request, as well as a prepaid means of compliance in writing. If a defendant fails to comply with a request for waiver made by a plaintiff, the court shall impose the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service on the defendant unless good cause for the failure be shown.
(5) The costs to be imposed on a defendant under paragraph (2) for failure to comply with a request to waive service of a summons shall include the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service together with the costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee, of any motion required to collect the costs of service.

BigData Earth Completes Project on High-resolution (1 meter) Vegetation Mapping for 48 Contiguous U.S. States
| | Rate | Review | More GIS News
Jun 13, 2016 -- Through wider collaborations in acquisition, storage and processing, BigData Earth Pty Ltd have access to the comprehensive, orthorectified digital aerial imagery from the USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and performed advanced imagery feature extraction. The latest NAIP input imagery acquired in 2015, 2014 and 2013 growing seasons (at 1m-resolution and for 48 contiguous U.S. States) has been analyzed. This is the first time that large-scale vegetation mapping is done at such a detailed level.
A number of key features of the NAIP aerial imagery are important for the classification of vegetation, including (1) consistent 1m high resolution; (2) new acquisitions in 2015, 2014, and 2013 growing seasons; (3) including R/G/B/NIR bands; and (4) virtually zero or minimized cloud covers. By comparison, it is hard to find high-resolution satellite imagery sources that can offer all of these advantages, especially for a very large territory.
Both pixel- and object-based image classification techniques, vegetation indices, and newly developed machine learning and classification methods have been actively explored for this feature extraction task. Also leveraging affordable data storage (more than a petabyte – 1,000 terabytes – in terms of the size of all temporary files during image processing) and high-performance computing, the BigData Earth team has achieved a very high accuracy of vegetation classification so that an objective, visual assessment becomes possible.
Unique data sets on the percentage (%, or the density) of vegetation across various geographical areas, such as 5-Digit ZIP Code, Census Block Group, and Census Track, are produced. In addition, 1m-resolution state-level imagery mosaics or basemaps (both natural-color and color infrared composites) are being offered. This project demonstrates excellent application opportunities using modern Earth Observation and geospatial big data analytics.

UCLA runs past Cal 42-14 to wrap up 8-win regular season
By Greg BeachamThe Associated Press
Sun., Nov. 28, 2021timer2 min. read
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw three touchdown passes, Zach Charbonnet rushed for 106 yards and another score, and UCLA wrapped up its first eight-win regular season since 2015 with a 42-14 victory over California on Saturday night.
Kyle Philips caught two touchdown passes, Greg Dulcich caught another and Kazmeir Allen rushed for a score in the home finale for the Bruins (8-4, 6-3 Pac-12), who finished with 32 unanswered points to complete their first unbeaten November since 1998.
With its fourth win in five meetings between the Pac-12's two California public schools, UCLA also wrapped up a share of second place in the Pac-12 South for the first time since 2014.
Chase Garbers and Christopher Brooks rushed for touchdowns for the Golden Bears (4-7, 3-5), who have seven losses for the fifth time in the mostly dismal decade since Cal fired Jeff Tedford, the winningest coach in school history.
After racking up 636 yards last week in their Big Game blowout of Stanford, the Bears managed just 14 net yards on their first four drives of the second half while UCLA pulled away.
Thompson-Robinson rushed for 102 yards and passed for 164 in another impressive all-around game after he led a 62-33 thrashing of rival Southern California in the annual crosstown showdown. Charbonnet also came through with his seventh 100-yard game of the season, gashing the Pac-12's top rushing defense.
UCLA led 10-0 early in the second quarter on Philips' 4-yard TD catch, but Brooks and Garbers sandwiched their touchdowns around a fumbled kickoff return by Allen, the breakout star of the Bruins' win at USC.
The Bruins went up 24-14 on Dulcich's 29-yard TD catch shortly after halftime. UCLA could have extended the lead moments later, but a sprinting Allen allowed an exceptional long pass from Thompson-Robinson to go straight through his hands on an egregious drop.
Thompson-Robinson shook it off and led an 80-yard drive moments later capped by Charbonnet's 1-yard TD run. The quarterback then hit Philips for another score with 8:53 to play.
California: With one game left, the Bears are stuck in mediocrity for another season under fifth-year head coach Justin Wilcox, who must be frustrated by the COVID-19 obstacles put in his program's way in Berkeley during an otherwise solid second half of the season. His future is uncertain given his 25-28 record, and with Washington — where he was the defensive coordinator from 2012-13 — needing a new head coach.
UCLA: The Bruins completed their first winning season under fourth-year coach Chip Kelly with another solid victory, although they haven't yet won over their fans and alumni. Just 36,156 turned out on a chilly night in Arroyo Seco, capping a season of low attendance at the Rose Bowl. That's largely because of the disappointment of Kelly's previous three losing seasons, but the well-paid coach finally could be turning the tide.
California: Southern California visits Strawberry Canyon for the schools' regular season finale on Saturday night in a game postponed from mid-November.
UCLA: Its first bowl game since 2017, most likely the Sun Bowl or Las Vegas Bowl.

Q: Best Circuit Design for a 12VDC Wall-Wart > Ouput Voltage of 1.5V (Replacing Alkaline Batteries) I have multiple stationary baby items for my son Oliver that require a serious supply of batteries each month. I would like to hook a few of these stationary items up to wall warts to conserve the constant expense of alkaline purchase/recharging of batteries. I currently have two spare wall warts laying around the house: first at 9V/1A and the second at 12V/1A. I am located 15km from a Mouser warehouse in case the garage will not suffice.
Two items I would like to wire up right now include a baby rocker which requires one D battery and a crib which includes a mobile electronic toy rotation device requiring 3 AA batteries.
I was lucky enough to get these from a baby shower and due to my current job situation, I can't upgrade. I would like to build a circuit for both but will discuss the baby rocker at this point.
This circuit would need to accept either voltage from the wall warts and drop it to 1.5V to run the baby rocker's vibrator. I have been looking at the 780x type linear regulators at this point but am not sure if this is the way to go. I wanted to see what you might recommend. I need advice that will not only eliminate batteries, hopefully save electricity, and also be easy to solder as I do not have the skills and equipment for SMD applications.
Thx in advance for your help!

A: I'm surprised the rocker doesn't have a DC inlet already.
You could connect the 9 V supply to a linear 1.5 V regulator, and it would be easy, but you'd be wasting a lot of energy.  It would be better to just go to a thrift store and try to find wall warts that are close (more appropriate transformer turns ratio) to the voltage you need.  Regulating a 3.3 V or 5 V supply down to 1.5 V would be more efficient.  The voltage might not even need regulating, or could be anywhere within a large range and still work, but you'd have to take the products apart and see what they feed into.  I ruined a digital camera by accidentally using a higher voltage adapter, but many things don't care.

A: The easy solution is to get a couple of rechargeable batteries and a charger, that will solve your problem... but it is a boring answer.
The second is to use a switched regulator, but I don't know any good one that can be soldered by hand so...

Cryotherapy for Runners: Needless Torture or Panacea?
Last week, Cinnamon explained how ice baths can impede the adaptation process our bodies go through after hard training. However, there are some circumstances when the benefits of cold therapy like ice baths, spot-icing, or cryotherapy may be worth the trade-offs. While the evidence suggests cold does not actually improve recovery, it may reduce post-workout pain and make a runner feel more recovered. The evidence is not clear whether this is simply a placebo effect, or that the ice does something to us physically to improve pain, but many of the world's top athletes swear by cold therapy, particularly before their most important competitions.
Brrr… To Ice Bath or not to Ice Bath?
I do it in the summer. I do it in the winter. I did it five times this week.
Even Meb Keflezighi does it.
My mother thinks I'm crazy. My father is disgusted. My sister thinks I've taken things too far. Why?
It's called an ice bath, and I swear by them. After my long runs and intense workouts (read: speed training and hills), I fill my bathtub full of cold water and a bag full of ice from the gas station down the street and hop in.

About Ovilla TX
OVILLA, TEXAS. Ovilla, on upper Red Oak Creek in northern Ellis County, is the oldest town in the area. It started in 1844 as a strengthened settlement and developed as pioneers touched base in the range to go to brush arbor gatherings of the Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was begun by Rev. Finis E. Lord in 1847. The congregation met in a brush arbor until 1853, when a log lodge, which served as both church and school building, was fabricated. A casing church building was done in 1872; in 1984 around 190 individuals still met in the structure, which had been developed and renovated. The congregation was instrumental in moving Trinity University to Waxahachie in 1902 and in setting up a young ladies' school in the close-by town of Milford. In spite of the fact that Ovilla was a flourishing cultivating group by the 1850s, it stayed anonymous. Mrs. M. M. Molloy, wife of Rev. D. G. Molloy, shaped the name from the Spanish word estate. Ovilla kept on developing and by the mid 1900s had a mail station, a bank, a cotton gin, a drug store, a smithy shop, and a few dry-merchandise stores. Its mail station shut in 1906. Fires in 1918 and 1926 wrecked the vast majority of the downtown structures, and this obliteration, together with the way that Ovilla was skirted by railways and major expressways, prompted a decrease in development. As Dallas developed, be that as it may, and individuals began moving from the city to suburbia, Ovilla by and by started to develop. To escape extension by DeSoto or some other neighboring city, the town of Ovilla was fused in 1963. In the main statistics after joining its populace was 339; by 1980 it had ascended to 1,067. Its 1984 populace was assessed to be almost 1,300. In 1990 it was 2,027 and the group had reached out into Dallas County. The populace achieved 3,405 by 2000.

Q: Switch case menu isn't being executed and reads only the default case I'm fairly new to the C language. Here my question is that the switch case in the function getDiscount(int ch, float total) only reads the default case and execute the code. I can't identify any errors as it runs correctly, but is generating a wrong answer. Here's my complete code. Does my scanf statements  take their ASCII values and execute? I just have no idea.
#include<stdio.h>

}

A: add whitespace in your scanf here scanf("%c", &method); so it will become scanf(" %c", &method);
why is this happeneing? you always enter the getdiscount function with the enter of the previous scanf() and that's ruining your input, the whitespace before the %c will ignore that enter and thus let you choose the correct char - c, d,d or o


"Living out your faith is a hate crime... to the gulag with you intolerant christians!!!"
Democrats, showing their absolute disdain for religious freedom, filed an Amicus Brief with the court, scheduled to hear a "discrimination" case brought by a pair of gays, against a Colorado-based baker who refused to bake a cake for their "wedding." The document was signed by over 200 Democrats.
Lead by two gay politicians, Senator Tammy Baldwin and Rep Sean Patrick Maloney, the legal document – written to bolster the case against religious freedom – was signed by 36 Senators and 175 members of the House of Representatives. Among the signers were the two top Democrats, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The case, "Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission", in concerns the right of a Christian cake shop owner Jack Phillips, who had refused to sell a wedding cake to Charlie Craig and David Mullins. In response, Craig and Mullins filed these charges in front of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, with a pretense that their civil rights had been denied.
The case centers around Phillips's First Amendment freedom of expression, and religious liberty. Phillips' cakes are culinary works of art, and he believes that the obligation to make cakes independent of their use infringes on his own freedom of expression. The gays, Craig and Mullins, contend that this violates their "civil rights," and stupidly refuse to simply go find a cake elsewhere.
The case has drawn a lot of attention as the latest attempt by the LGBT lobby to chip away at the Constitution, following 2012's United States v. Windsor and 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges.
These Democrats claim that a ruling affirming Phillips' Constitutional rights would permit unchecked discrimination, and lead to an apocalyptic dystopia of violent hatred.
"To allow the exemptions sought by Petitioners would effectively create a constitutional rule condoning broad-based discriminatory conduct while hamstringing Congress from enacting comprehensive nondiscrimination legislation in the future," they wrote.
Rather, they contend, that the religious concerns of Phillips and others are overruled by the desire to have the all-powerful state strictly and harshly enforce perfectly equal treatment for all.

Typically, peace agreements fail either because of problems in their design or challenges that occur during their implementation. To understand unsuccessful attempts at peace, we need to understand the characteristics of post-Cold War conflicts and the differences between wars ended through negotiation versus military means.
Finally, most current conflicts take place in unstable countries, where government capacity, rule of law, and economic opportunities are limited. Conflicts occur in volatile regions and are entrenched in a wider set of regional disputes. Even when parties are truly committed to peace, they may be constrained by weak institutions and the state's lack of monopoly on force. Inadequate instrumental development limits parties' capacity to meet commitments, creating an unstable environment embedded with risks of resumed violence.
Although there are no magic formulas to address the problems mentioned above, experience has identified some provisions that are critical to improving peace agreements' chances of success. Generally, agreements with more details are easier to implement, as they leave less room for interpretation and manipulation. It is particularly important that agreements include implementation priorities and realistic deadlines. Beyond that, they should have flexible mechanisms to adapt to the fluid post-war environment.
Negotiating only with moderates and leaving out the extremist—while tempting—is often a mistake. A more inclusive process will diminish the power of the spoilers to undermine efforts at peace.13 Rwanda paid a very high price in the Arusha Agreements for the exclusion of the extremist faction, Coalition pour la Defense de la République, which became the main perpetrator of the subsequent genocide.
Successful short-term efforts include establishing a national-unity or reconciliation government, like in South Africa following apartheid, or the much more controversial option of delegating the management of a country to an international body, as in Cambodia.
Finally, if peace is defined restrictively as the absence of armed conflict, one could argue that addressing the underlying causes of conflict and promoting reconciliation are not conditions, sine qua non, to achieving peace. Reconciliation should be an aspirational goal, but as with any aspiration, it may not always be possible to achieve. Using Michael Lund's life history of a conflict, however, we must conclude that achieving the more embracing concept of "durable peace" in a just order requires content-specific solutions to be accompanied by reconciliation, with its four components of truth, mercy, justice, and peace.21,22 Only these components can address the deeper psychological and subjective aspects related to interpersonal and community relationships, as well as people's experiences of loss and suffering. In so doing, we will move from a narrow orientation aiming simply at conflict termination to a broader and long-lasting concept of conflict transformation.

What will follow yesterday's Eagle news?
The Mint's ability to meet demand for physical bullion coin products is under growing stress. That could not be more clear from yesterday's memo to its authorized purchasers.
From this point forward, it will concentrate its resources on the one-ounce gold American Eagle and the one-ounce silver American Eagle.
Though, like a general that orders one final bombardment just before surrendering the position, the Mint will make another sally at supplying one-ounce Buffalo coins and platinum Eagles of all sizes. It will strike another batch of all of them, but once they are gone, that will be it for 2008-dated coins. The same is true for the tenth-ounce gold Eagle.
Supplies of half-ounce and quarter-ounce gold Eagles are exhausted and the Mint won't even attempt to make a final batch of these.
It is logical in the face of unprecedented demand that the Mint focus its efforts on the two popular one-ounce Eagle sizes. Collectors will be able to look back at the Mintages for these two sizes and nod knowingly that the high totals sprang from an ongoing financial crisis in 2008.
What will follow?
If history is any guide, when the current crisis abates, demand for these coins will fall off a cliff much like demand for coinage in the severe 1921 recession made the dimes, quarters and half dollars of that year fairly rare dates and there were none of these denominations produced at all in 1922.
Silver dollars I should point out ran counter to this trend because of special circumstances. Its demand centered on the Treasury and its need to obtain as quickly as possible a supply of coins to back Silver Certificates, which had been retired because of Pittman Act melting. The order for 270 million new dollars kept the Mint busy until it was fully filled in 1928.
The Mint will not have a countercyclical coin order like that for Eagles once the current demand breaks.
What did you do yesterday?
One of the best kept secrets and a source of confusion for beginning collectors regarding the way professional dealers and grading services view the uncirculated grade has finally been exposed in very clear language.

REAL BODIES human anatomy exhibition to open at Bally's Las Vegas
Imagine Exhibitions proudly present REAL BODIES at Bally's, a highly original and thought-provoking exhibition of human anatomy at Bally's Las Vegas.
This powerful exhibition explores life by displaying more than 20 real, perfectly preserved human bodies and more than 200 anatomical specimens. More than a simple display of human specimens, REAL BODIES at Bally's will connect audiences to a deeper sense of what it means to be alive. Founded on anatomical, cultural, and emotional narratives, the exhibition transforms the way we view the mysterious organism we all share - the human body - and reminds us of all the complexity and magic within us that we often take for granted. REAL BODIES at Bally's digs deeper into the beauty of the body, mind, and soul than any other exhibition of its kind, and invites you to explore the entire human experience from the first breath to the last. REAL BODIES at Bally's is now open and is located on the lower level of Bally's Las Vegas 3645 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109.
REAL BODIES at Bally's consists of dramatic and compelling galleries that offer unique perspectives on human anatomy and its importance to world cultures as well as the emotional expression embedded in each of our physiological functions. Immersive and transcendent, REAL BODIES at Bally's presents the human body's unique systems through a series of approachable art gallery displays which feature the work of artists from Las Vegas' bustling art scene. The exhibition pushes boundaries while seamlessly blending art, science, and emotion as a museum of the self. Exploring these systems within the body, REAL BODIES at Bally's reveals deep synergy between breathing, hunger, the rhythm of the heart, love, motion, thought, and medicine that make person unique.
REAL BODIES at Bally's takes visitors on a journey asking them to explore who they are, where they come from and what they choose to do with the life and body they have been given.
"While the exhibition moves through the human body using a system by system approach, the exhibition also looks far beyond the physical aspects of these systems," said President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions Tom Zaller. "It explores the symbolic and cultural significance that these systems have had from the beginning of time, human evolution through time and questions why we do what we do and how we do it. Whether or not a visitor is spiritual, they'll emerge from REAL BODIES at Bally's with a sense of greater connection—a connection to the whole of humanity."
Imagine Exhibitions is the industry leader in traveling exhibits, entertaining millions of guests throughout the world with their experiential and interactive displays and experiences. REAL BODIES at Bally's is the most powerful and provocative exhibition that Imagine Exhibitions has brought to life, it is the company's latest exhibition and again gives Imagine Exhibitions a permanent home on the Las Vegas Strip. Zaller goes on to say, "I'm very proud to launch our latest exhibition on the Las Vegas Strip, having produced several exhibitions here over the last 16 years, I find Las Vegas to be the perfect place for showcasing our work and REAL BODIES at Bally's is simply stunning."

The mechanical insulation industry is continuing to recover from the recent recession. The recovery is slow and varies geographically and by industry segment, but as a whole is continuing steadily. Undoubtedly, our industry is dependent upon the national economy, and while many signs point to sustained moderate growth, several economists are quick to point out just how fragile the economic recovery is. Taking into account a variety of data and expert analyses predicting steady growth, the overarching prognosis might be summarized as: full speed ahead, but proceed with caution. The industry has experienced low to modest single-digit growth for the last couple of years (2012–2013), and 2014 appears to be headed in that same direction. The forecast for 2015 and 2016 are much more optimistic, with the potential for double-digit growth. Again, this varies geographically and by industry segment, and consequently, by company.
The mechanical insulation industry consists of many differently sized companies, with some having multiple branches or sales locations. It is not unusual for various local branches within a company to experience different conditions—one may be up by double digits, while another may complain of business being flat or even down. Such variations are usually impacted by the gain, loss, or completion of a major project; a market share shift; reduction or expansion of backlog; consolidation; a local facility closing or opening; or simply the local economy. One consistent factor among all segments and geographic areas is that the industry remains competitive. It does appear that margins are steady and even trending upward, which is the sign of an improving market.
The recent recession and the recovery road, politics, consolidation, and our industry's dependency on the national and global economy may provide the most significant opportunities—and simultaneously challenges—in the next few years.
Our industry, among others, lost talented people at all levels during the recession. That reduction of available skilled and knowledgeable personnel is problematic, especially in light of the 2015 and 2016 forecasted growth.
Downsizing—or rightsizing, as some prefer to call it—restructuring, consolidation, and attrition have taken and continue to take a toll on sales, administrative, and management levels. While many companies are currently adding bright and talented professionals in those areas, the fact remains that the industry has lost years of experience. That level of experience will take years to replace. There is a significant difference between being in the mechanical insulation industry and truly knowing the mechanical insulation industry.
The new blood, new ideas, and renewed energy emerging in the industry is nothing less than phenomenal. One can only hope the knowledge of more experienced workers is being transferred to the next generation.
The industry is changing, and the challenges change brings can be difficult. Understanding the history of the industry and the lessons learned can make the obstacles of the future less burdensome.
path information. We have a great story to tell, and we need to share it. Our industry is competing with other industries for talent; we should act now by implementing recruitment programs before we are left behind.
installation, and maintenance of mechanical insulation systems.
of that challenge is great, but not addressing it is simply not acceptable.
Consolidation is not new to our industry. Companies have been buying and entering into mergers with other companies for years. It is affecting all industry channels: manufacturing, distributing/fabricating, laminating, and contracting. Since private equity's entrance into the industry, consolidation as a strategy has visibly increased. For decades our industry was not attractive to private equity or public investment, but it has been garnering more interest recently.
This new attention may be due to the fact that the industry is extremely fragmented, presenting an appealing consolidation opportunity. It may also have to do with increasingly attractive growth and investment opportunities, or that insulation manufacturing, distributing/fabricating, laminating, and contracting fits well with implementing a multi-line or multi-craft strategy. Regardless of the motivation, private equity's investment is a sign that our industry is alluring to those interested in profiting from their investment—we have even seen evidence of private equity purchasing the interest of other private equity companies.
While consolidation can be an exciting opportunity and rewarding to many, it can present challenges to all industry segments and certainly creates individual anxiety. The buying, selling, or merging component is the simple part; the difficult part is the merging of the cultures, implementing new operational and marketing procedures, employing new strategies, and dealing with the challenge of implementing operational synergies that may not be fully realized for months or even years.
Regardless, it is the projected return on investment opportunity that is driving consolidation and that will trump any concerns as to the impact to industry, pro or con. While that may sound cold, it reflects the reality of operating in a public market type environment. A public company is driven by creating shareholder value, and that is no different for private equity other than the fact that their hurdle rates may be higher with a shorter horizon. Private equity interests will always have an exit strategy or strategies concerned with getting the ultimate value out of their investment. This may take the form of a public offering, the sale of the company or components of the company, or a merger, among other options. Whatever the exit method, these new developments will continue to impact the industry.
• With multi-craft and service offerings, mechanical insulation could be the lesser of the company offerings. The definition of a true "specialty mechanical insulation contractor" could change. Could multi-labor affiliations become more common, or even the norm, in the future?
• Traditional local, regional, or even national distributor-fabricator/manufacturer relationships could be put to the test as national consolidators leverage their buying power.
• Manufacturers' distributing/fabricating customer base could be shrinking, changing the dynamic of customer relationships. This could potentially even lead to business models mirroring "big box" business practices.
• Will consolidation at some point fuel the drive for new entrants into the contracting and distributing market channels?
• Will the consolidators "talk the talk" and "walk the walk" of maintaining traditionally strong industry distributor-contractor customer relationships?
• Will consolidators continue to support industry associations to the same or higher levels as the companies they acquired or merged with? Or will consolidation drive association changes?
Consolidation will continue to change and shape all aspects of the industry for years to come. The mechanical insulation industry has been slow to change, but consolidation has the potential to quickly and materially alter many facets of the industry.
Only time will tell the degree and direction of its impact.
though not erase, its dependency on such trends and improve performance during the up and down cycles.
selling. Alternatively, some sales forces favor face-to-face communication and building personal relationships. Perhaps the best option for the industry is to blend these approaches to optimize its methods and increase sales.
a select number understand the details necessary to successfully design, specify, manage, and provide installation and maintenance inspection for mechanical insulation systems.
need to help educate those audiences that can directly influence our industry.
The following are some examples of initiatives that could positively impact growth and profitability—especially during the up and down cycles.
• Help drive the adoption of ASHRAE 90.1 2010. Every time you see an older version of the ASHRAE standard, point out the difference and simply ask if the interested parties want to use an outdated standard that may be detrimental to the operational and resale value of their facility. The increased cost is minimal compared to the benefit.
• Provide information to facility managers and owners on the real risk of not properly maintaining an insulation system. The risk can be substantial compared to the annual operational cost and potential capital investment and production losses in the long term. Too frequently, insulation is damaged or missing, causing energy loss and potentially presenting a safety issue for personnel. Properly maintaining an insulation system is crucial to a facility's long-term success.
• Many take insulation for granted. Educate all parties on the energy savings and environmental benefits of insulation-system performance. The return on investment is attractive from an annual and longer term perspective.
• Energy and the environment will always be part of our industry's economic future. Advocates of increased use of alternative energy sources, increased production, and use of nuclear, fossil fuels, and a long list of similar initiatives seem to be in every publication. Energy efficiency should always be included in those discussions. Our industry needs to resolve to be recognized as a leader in energy efficiency in existing and new construction, retrofit, and maintenance applications.
• Fight improper "value engineering" of insulation systems. This is not only detrimental to the project or application in question, but it could allow others to believe such practices are acceptable on other applications.
• Help to create and use case studies from actual projects. Specifiers and owners relate to applications that resemble their facility or operational footprint.
• Support developing data related to mechanical insulation in the world of sustainability, the energy-water nexus, life-cycle analysis, the numerous and ever-growing "green" programs, etc. The world is heading rapidly in those directions, and the potential of mechanical insulation's contribution is significant and should not be taken for granted. The more data we have to support the benefits of mechanical insulation, the easier it will be to make an argument for its inclusion in more applications.
• Holistic building measurements and performance-based codes continue to gain momentum. The industry has historically operated in a prescriptive environment. Our industry should help support programs that address how prescriptive initiatives can and will work in a holistic world.
• Building simulation and energy modeling is also gaining momentum. Mechanical insulation needs to be specifically recognized in those initiatives, and the industry should actively work with coalitions and similar groups in this arena.
• It is difficult and time consuming for a contractor to offer "upscale" or alternative approaches when bidding a project. However, it can be a worthwhile time investment when combined with a thorough explanation as to the short- and long-term advantages of a particular approach. The key in many cases is the involvement of the facility owner in the decision process.

had an active legislative advocacy program, we were surprised to be met with the reality of the slow pace on Capitol Hill and the difficulty in passing even small measures.
In spite of being a relatively new player, NIA—through its Foundation for Education, Training, and Industry Advancement—has accomplished a great deal with limited resources over the last 8 years. Accomplishments include defining mechanical insulation to new and unaware parties, receiving appropriation dollars through the Department of Energy, introducing tax incentives, testifying before Congressional Committees, successfully having mechanical insulation included in various bills—most recently, in the Farm Bill—attending hundreds of meetings with legislators, and building a network of allied and supportive associations.
With these small victories, we are benefiting both NIA and its members. On Capitol Hill, success comes in small pieces, but by continuing to raise awareness and win support from different allies, we are promoting the long-term growth we need to succeed as an industry. While it can be frustrating to those of us who are aware of the benefits of mechanical insulation not to see all of our initiatives adopted wholesale, we are laying the groundwork to win more and more victories for our industry.

Once again, the industry has responded to and overcome rough economic times, proving our resiliency and making us stronger. The next several years look promising, with numerous and diverse opportunities. We should be defined by how we have taken advantage of these opportunities, and not stymied by the challenges they may create. The mechanical insulation industry for years has been dependent upon the economy, and that dependency will always be a primary influencer. Our industry needs to accept and embrace whatever hand the economy deals us, but we need to influence mechanical insulation's role in that economy by understanding and aggressively examining the changing market place and addressing the opportunities where we can make adifference.


The writable clustered column store indexes are the most lauded feature for enterprise data warehouse (EDW) workloads, but the partition switching and indexing features can also improve query response times.
The Analysis, Migrate and Report (AMR) tool helps uncover the major upgrade issues you may encounter such as recognizing depreciated features, while the distributed replay feature helps forecast any unintended consequences, or affirm the advantages of upgrading to 2014.
For organizations that insist their data warehouse, enterprise reporting, dashboards and cubes be available without fail, the all-or-nothing consequence of an upgrade can make this a high-profile activity. Azure can be a tremendous asset in these circumstances as the entire upgrade can be validated in parallel. Performing the upgrade in Azure allows you to identify and mitigate issues and perfect the use of new features without cordoning off your development and testing environments for hot-fixes and enhancements while the upgrade is being performed. Azure allows you to perform and test the upgrade and also rehearse your cut-over steps without an additional investment in hardware.
Organizations often delay upgrades because the diversion of development resources, In addition, the "freeze window" that accompany them are often hard to justify to business people who already have a healthy backlog of pending development requests. Using Azure can reduce the risk and so make the project more appealing.

The debate over the legalization of marijuana has been very much in the public eye over the last few years, as states such as Colorado and Washington have moved to make recreational marijuana legal, while other states have created policies for medicinal marijuana use.
While marijuana use is illegal in Kentucky, bills that would allow for people to use marijuana for medical reasons were introduced during this year's state General Assembly.
On Thursday, Kentucky Wesleyan College's Stanley Reed Society will host a debate on whether the state should legalize marijuana for recreational use. The debate will begin at 8:15 p.m. in the Hocker Family Dining Room on the second floor of the Winchester Center on the KWC campus.
Presenting the arguments will be Bill Conroy, a KWC professor of history and political science, and Daviess County Sheriff Keith Cain, a KWC alumnus who also teaches criminal justice classes at Owensboro Community & Technical College.
"It's a timely and relevant issue," Cain said. "I think it's good KWC has sponsored a forum where people can voice their concerns" about the issue, he said.
Conroy said the debate will begin with presentations from both sides of the issue, with time for questions from the audience after both sides have made their arguments.
have legalized marijuana use for medicinal purposes.
The debate will be moderated by a KWC student, who also work to keep audience questions flowing, Conroy said. Cain said the debate should be a time where people can come and learn about the issues surrounding the legalization of marijuana in a non-confrontational atmosphere.
"Good government and good decisions are based on input from our constituency," Cain said.

Not only will this be the first FIT Show but it will also mark the first time that The Georgian Bar Company will be exhibiting at a trade show.
Designing the stand is key, this is one huge advert for your products and your business – get that wrong and the whole thing is pointless. This is why once we had completed concept art with our designers at LatCreative, we then approached one of the best in the business TGAC, and as you can see below are near final concept is superb.
Choosing the most effective way to spend your marketing budget is not an exact science. You have to look at what advertising has worked for you in the past and ensure you finesse that to its full potential but most importantly you have to look forward to what might be the next wave of marketing opportunities. That could be website development, blogs and other social media – something which we have embraced and found successful. Now a trade show is certainly not an innovative idea – however the proposal for the FIT Show offered a new concept in trade shows, a trade show that would make the presumption that you are going to attend and or exhibit. By doing this the idea gained tremendous momentum and has now caught the attention of some of the key players in the industry.
For The Georgian Bar Company to exhibit its Geofast range at this new event will be a fantastic opportunity to see new products from suppliers and customers and to assist integration of our products into their window systems. Face to face business is and always has been the most effective way of forging relationships and starting or continuing good business. We are looking forward to meeting new customers and reconnecting with a customer base who have helped us to be THE best solution for Astragal Georgian Bars in the UK.

Fashion Week Observed
As Another Fashion Week Starts, the Boom Boom Room Turns Five
"I hope it's around for at least another twenty," Andre Balazs said.
By Nate Freeman • 09/06/13 9:22pm
How is it possible that the Boom Boom Room is still the Boom Boom Room? New York spots aren't supposed to survive the winter after Fashion Week. But somehow the Top of the Standard, the golden canopy in Gotham's skies, has lasted a half-decade.
"What makes it enduring?" Andre Balazs asked us during the rollicking five-year anniversary party he threw for his joint Thursday night. The proprietor of the fine cocktail spot and the hotel that houses it was standing steps away from the Boom Boom Room's sprawling classic bar, its centerpiece bursting as always with gold-lit tubes like a giant warped church organ. "I think it's the people, it's like a child growing up. You can have all the great things, the great view and everything else, but the key to anything is attentiveness."
He stopped to look around at the view, that floor-to-ceiling showstopper of a view of the Hudson River.
"I hope it's around for at least another twenty," Mr. Balazs said.
And, yes, The Standard actually opened four years ago, but so what, numbers are just numbers, and the fashion faithful showed up in spades, eventually packing into every leather banquet and egg-shaped chair the place had to offer. A jazz band of conspicuously attractive horn players wailed in a corner, barkeeps handed out free packs of Marlboros, and the dresses of the champagne-carrying revelers caught the surrounding lights and reflected it back in flashes.
Enough with setting the scene, though — Lord knows we've been guilty of writing up plenty of parties here, scribbling purple prose about the Purple Magazine party, waxing eloquent about everything. You know all that stuff. Better yet is the action we've been witness to in the five (four?) years: Lindsay Lohan throwing glasses, Fiona Apple verbally berating the crowd, Beyonce mobbed as if she were a goddess.
Thursday's bash brought Boom Boom regulars more than celebrities: jewelry designer Waris Ahluwalia chatting with Johan Lindeberg, young fashion darling Harry Brant II air kissing models who towered above him, Neil Patrick Harris high-fiving guests as he weaved through the crowd.
But it was up top on the newly renovated roof, the Empire State Building's specter glowing in the foreground, where the party eventually migrated.
It was up there that we found Jay McInerney, a writer who knows a thing or two about the mores of Manhattan. As the current Wall Street Journal wine critic swirled his glass — "It's good, it's Moet," he said — he admitted that out of all the places to get a drink, said the Boom Boom Room might be one of the best.
"I used to be an aficionado of nightclubs," said Mr. McInerney said to us, in what can only be called an understatement. "But honestly this is the only place that I come to anymore. I don't go out every night, but when I do, this is the only place where I'm really at home."

For organizations around the world, cloud-based services have become an enabler for an efficient, agile and flexible IT model that delivers significant cost savings. However, despite the benefits cloud services offer, there are few long-established organizations that have yet managed to switch 100% to the Cloud, which is due to their massive investment in on-premise infrastructure.
While new start-ups are fortunate to be able to source all their services from the Cloud right from the beginning, for established organisations still needing to work with mission-critical legacy IT, a manageable hybrid IT approach is needed that mixes cloud-based services with traditional existing IT. For these organizations, the challenge is bolting all elements together with consistent security throughout.
Today, organizations tend to buy in multiple cloud services from multiple vendors, and not all have high-level security built-in. In addition, while some private mission-critical cloud services might have high-level security, combining these different services with different protocols, makes the overall security situation highly complex and much harder to effectively orchestrate and manage. In the complicated IT landscape created, intelligence and insight are the only ways to combat sophisticated cyber security threats.
A robust security regime requires constant monitoring to detect, assess, and mitigate problems, however, with cloud-based services you don't own all the processes. It's this lack of ownership and control that makes monitoring everything difficult and detection and issue mitigation a challenge.
Covering the whole Cloud lifecycle is the only way to combat security threats, however, the ability to predict, detect, respond to, and protect against cyber threats will very much depend on your choice of cloud-based service. By choosing carefully and utilizing cloud services with appropriate security built-in, you'll not only be protected from attack, you can even learn new security techniques, such as; encryption, data loss prevention and smart automated monitoring of apps/data, that you can apply to your legacy services.
What does all this mean for your organization?
While some organizations still view cloud services as a risk to IT security, in reality, it's only a risk if you select cloud services that don't have an appropriate level of security built-in. You can take advantage of the benefits more flexible IT brings without opening yourself up to attack. By undertaking a risk assessment before you buy, you can ensure that you choose the right service with the most appropriate security built-in right from the start.
By choosing to implement cloud services with heightened levels of protection, you can use what you learn and apply the same kind of protection to your on-premises IT infrastructure. With Cloud, you could eradicate erratic security and set new standards across your entire hybrid IT estate.
Our experts explore the risks associated with Office 365 cloud services if not appropriately secured.
