What is Heroin Detox?
Detoxification (detox) refers to the process of taking an individual off the chemical--in this case, heroin--on which he or she has become physically dependent, eliminating it from the body with the help of a variety of medication options and other interventions.
Detox aims at ridding the body of the daily need for heroin, assisting the individual to remain abstinent throughout this period, known as acute withdrawal, and diminishing the pain and discomfort of withdrawal.
Given that many addicted heroin users cannot remain abstinent from heroin without help beyond this initial phase of withdrawal, detox should be viewed as the first stage of treatment.
Detox is critical to recovery, not only for the individual user, but also for the family and for society.
Detox is critical to recovery, not only for the individual user, but also for the family and for society. Heroin use can cause severe illness for the user, but it is also estimated that lost productivity, crime and social service expenditures cost over 21 billion dollars annually in the United States alone.
Lack of motivation for long-term treatment, as well as the stigma often attached to heroin addiction, are common barriers to full recovery and a productive life.
This makes detox a critical component in beginning to address related health problems, and initiating education about health issues, along with issues related to family and legal problems. Families are deeply affected, often drained of money and compassion. The subsequent need to support the addiction often causes legal problems through drug-dealing and drug-related violence.
In general, withdrawal from heroin is not life threatening. However, detox cannot be expected to eliminate the withdrawal symptoms entirely, nor can it prevent other medical consequences for some individuals upon cessation of heroin use.
Medical supervision will be required for some individuals in the detox phase of treatment. Special care must be taken in the detox process for individuals suffering from advanced HIV/AIDS, advanced age and coronary artery disease.
Withdrawal from heroin is very distressful, and may cause:
Muscle and joint pain.
Fever.
Chills.
Depression.
Anxiety caused by the anticipated sickness.
Additionally, increased sensitivity to pain (hyperalgesia) is not uncommon for someone addicted to heroin, and detoxing at home under these circumstances can lead to relapse.
There are two main dangers to detoxing at home:
Becoming overwhelmed by unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, and using heroin at pre-relapse levels to avoid them. Tolerance may have abated somewhat in the meantime, and the individual places themselves at increased risk for overdose.
Self-medicating with alcohol or other drugs to minimize withdrawal symptoms can increase the likelihood of troublesome complications or dangerous drug interactions. Such individuals are encouraged to seek medical detox as soon as possible to preclude these possible scenarios.
Don't Wait Hear from others on their journey through addiction and recovery.
Heroin addiction is neither a crime nor a sin. It is an illness like any other chronic illness, and it is manageable with professional support and understanding.
No one chooses to become addicted to heroin, but you or someone you love can choose recovery today.
Call 1-888-993-3112Who Answers? and speak with a treatment support advisor who understand the process of heroin addiction and treatment. They can answer your questions and direct you to the help you need and deserve.
In chronic dependence with heroin, withdrawal generally consists of 2 phases:
Acute withdrawal, which lasts about 7- 10 days. Medically assisted detox begins during this first phase, and may continue depending on the severity of withdrawal.
Post-acute withdrawal syndrome, which can last up to, or beyond, 6 months.
Medically Assisted Rapid and Ultra-Rapid Detoxification
These options consist of speeding up withdrawal through use of an opiate antagonist such as naltrexone with other pharmacotherapies to minimize withdrawal symptoms.
Rapid detox takes 2 to 3 days to complete whereas ultra-rapid detox can take several hours.
Opioid/Opiate Replacement Taper
Since they are opiates/opioids, methadone or buprenorphine may be used to gradually detox the patient, tapering the dose over a period of days, weeks, or months, until withdrawal ends.
Other Detox Agents
Clonidine, marketed to treat hypertension, has been found to inhibit activity in that part of the brain which is hyperactive during withdrawal, and which would otherwise be inhibited only with another opiate. It is used over a 5-day detox period.
Evaluation and Diagnosis
This consists of an interview with a clinician who will gather information on:
Drug history.
Other medical history.
Social functioning.
Living arrangements.
You can expect that this will be carried out in a non-judgmental manner.
A physical examination will be carried out to aid in proper diagnosis. It will include examination for signs of infection, such as arm or leg edema, track mark or injection site inflammation/abscess or other scarring. Other appropriate examination points would be to assess for jaundice or any other signs of potential liver injury.
Additional signs and symptoms will be given special attention, such as fever, constipation or difficulty breathing (bronchospasm).
Lab tests, from both blood and urine specimens, will include screening for:
Other drugs (urinalysis).
Blood count.
Hepatitis-C.
HIV-AIDS.
Initiation of Treatment
Upon diagnosis, one of the treatment options outlined in the previous section will be initiated as the beginning of your treatment process.
You can expect to be reassured by staff that you are safe, that treatment does work, and that addiction illness is manageable.
That depends on how long withdrawal lasts. Detox is generally understood as the first phase of treatment lasting through the acute withdrawal phase of 7-10 days. However, withdrawal syndrome can last much longer, warranting medically assisted detox using the options delineated earlier.
Please remember that recovery from heroin addiction is a process, not an event. Be kind to yourself or to the addicted one in your life, and give the body and mind the chance to heal.
The process can be very difficult and if you are overwhelmed by the choice of treatment options and whether to get detox treatment, you can speak to one of our treatment support staff at 1-888-993-3112Who Answers? today.
Depending on the severity of withdrawal and/or other complications, detox treatment can take place in an inpatient, outpatient or hospital setting.
This enables an individual to continue working, and living in a safe, supportive home environment in which he/she has to confront the problem that heroin caused, and find healthy alternatives to use. Indications of health complications and the potential for harm to self or others will necessitate finding alternatives to this type of treatment.
Heroin withdrawal is particularly tough, which makes outpatient treatment difficult due to severe craving and easy of access to heroin.
Residential/Hospital
Conventional heroin treatment, beginning with detox, typically occurs either in hospital-based or residential treatment programs, or a combination of both, whereby the individual transfers to the residential treatment after initial hospitalization.
Many heroin addicts have benefited from community-based programs which are available at little or no cost, and include detox/medical treatment on an outpatient basis, along with counseling and behavioral interventions for heroin addicts with a history of relapse. Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meeting attendance is encouraged, and engagement with the program staff can make an enormous difference in promoting recovery.
Short-Term Treatment
This treatment option usually lasts anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks in residential or outpatient settings. It includes counseling, group therapy, education, and relapse prevention strategies. Additional family therapy may be a component, given the social implications of heroin addiction.
Long-Term Treatment
For most heroin addicts this is the most recommended option. It is a residential program, and has the benefit of removing the individual from the drug environment. This type of program can last at least 6 months, utilizing all the resources in the treatment storehouse, medical and behavioral.
Medical-assisted detox marks the beginning of treatment, and will be available as a supportive source for as long as it is needed on the journey of recovery, along with other treatment components such as counseling and relapse prevention strategies.
Medications used in detox treatment are generally well tolerated and monitored.
For several years methadone, an opiate replacement treatment has helped alleviate the withdrawal symptoms of many heroin addicts, affording them the opportunity to live life without the burden of tremendous cravings.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone or Subutex) is a more recent partial opiate replacement therapy. It is available through a specially licensed physician for take-home dosage.
Naltrexone (Vivitrol) is a non-opiate medication, which blocks the effects of heroin. It is available orally, or as a monthly intramuscular injection, or as a 6-month surgical implant. Naltrexone has also demonstrated anti-craving effects.
Factors to consider in seeking the best detox treatment include the following:
Transportation availability for outpatient or referral service.
Removal from access to heroin and its environment.
Services which place emphasis on family, work and vocation, as well as availability of mental health services.
Insurance coverage and cost will be factors to consider.
For those who cannot afford to pay, Medicaid in the U.S. provides relief from this burden, and Community Treatment Centers often provide the best treatment as they work with a number of agencies and resources in a local community where access is mediated by ease of travel.
With so many factors to evaluate, making the decision to get heroin detox treatment can be tough, especially if you are in a compromised physical or mental state because of your addiction.

Hey guys, I was able to get myself a set of Havoc trooper armor, which i am super excited about. So far everything is going well TZA did really great with this kit. The colors I am using are primer gray and banner red gloss and flat white from krylon, I am hand painting the gray on the helmet other pieces I might do as well or i will spay on. So the only problem i have bumped into so far is that my hand plates are massive compared to my hands.
To help with your wrist guards I would get the gloves you plan on using as they will provide a more relevant comparison for size, getting motorcycle gloves that are larger will help with the scaling. aside from that trimming the sides down will help too.
Nicely crisp emblem work there, great going!
You're still doing great work...keep it up, trooper!
Yes, please tell me there has been progress. You're doing an awesome job! I love havoc troopers and wish I had the money to afford a kit, especially now that he is no longer making them.

A: You need to set the transactionInfo.totalPrice field based your cartTotal.
Based on your example, it would look something like this:
<GooglePayButton
    environment="TEST"
    paymentRequest={{
        apiVersion: 2,
        apiVersionMinor: 0,
        allowedPaymentMethods: [

                parameters: {
                    allowedAuthMethods: ['PAN_ONLY', 'CRYPTOGRAM_3DS'],
                    allowedCardNetworks: ['MASTERCARD', 'VISA'],
                },
                tokenizationSpecification: {
                    type: 'PAYMENT_GATEWAY',
                    parameters: {
                        gateway: 'example',
                        gatewayMerchantId: 'exampleGatewayMerchantId',
                    },
                },
            },
        ],
        merchantInfo: {
            merchantId: '12345678901234567890',
            merchantName: 'Demo Merchant',
        },
        transactionInfo: {
            totalPriceStatus: 'FINAL',
            totalPriceLabel: 'Total',
            totalPrice: cartTotal,
            currencyCode: 'USD',
            countryCode: 'US',
        },
    }}
    onLoadPaymentData={paymentRequest => {
        alert('Payment success', paymentRequest);
    }}
/>

Notice that it includes a single line change: totalPrice: cartTotal.

A: transactionInfo: {
                                totalPriceStatus: 'FINAL',
                                totalPriceLabel: 'Total',
                                totalPrice: '<!Look description below!>',
                                currencyCode: 'USD',
                                countryCode: 'US',
                            },

You should put the total-price from cart state to string totalPrice in your code (transactionInfo parapeters)


Friday - January 4, 2019: We added a new page devoted to Veterans Memorial Amphitheater in Pittsburg, Kansas. The amphitheater is a permanent tribute to all Americans who have served in one of the five branches of the U.S. Armed Services: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and the Navy. Although it is part of Pittsburg State University, individual veterans do not need to be affiliated to Pitt State to be recognized.
Saturday - January 5, 2019: For lunch, we checked out JAMZ Bar and Grill in Kansas City, Kansas, just east of Bonner Springs and across the street from Papa Bob's BBQ, which closed last year. There is no sign that anything has been done to change Papa Bob's building.
JAMZ is more of a family restaurant than a bar & grill and serves breakfast daily starting at 7AM.
Linda had the catfish basket, which was good and a real bargain at $7.99 for the large catfish fillets and a side of house made potato chips.
I had the JAMZ Pig & Bull, a 1/2 pound hamburger topped with smoked pulled pork, crispy bacon, onion ring, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce for $10.99 with the choice of potato. Although the combination sounded great, the burger was OK, The patty did not appear to be hand formed and was average. The bacon didn't seem to be very freshly cooked.
The service was good and many of the other sandwiches look to be bargains, so we will try JAMZ at least once again.
For supper, we tried the year old El Puente Restaurante, a Venezuelan Restaurant in Lenexa.
I had the empanada de pollo appetizer. It was a large chicken empanada for only $2.49, though I found it a little bland.
El Puente is know for patacones, so we each had one. Linda had the chicken for $8.99 and I had steak for $9.99. Also known as tostones, patacones are flat chips made from plantains and they are used in place of bread in sandwiches. There was a choice of sweet or salty. We went with salt, on the server's recommendation.
We enjoyed the contents of the sandwich, but neither of us cared for the plantain chips. We will probably try them out again, going with sweet plantains the next time.
Tuesday - January 8, 2019: The Peanut Olathe opened yesterday and I tried them out for lunch today. This is the 8th location with this Kansas City bar & grill chain, which started as a speakeasy in Kansas City, Missouri in 1933. The Peanut has a fairly short menu with burgers, seven salads, chili, burgers, a variety of sandwiches and Buffalo chicken wings.
There was no sign that this was only the second day the restaurant was open. Food service and speed were identical to our experience at other Peanut locations. No opening jitters were apparent.
I had the three Buffalo style wings and fries with house made blue cheese dressing for $10. It was just like I have enjoyed at 4 other Peanut locations.
We posted a first look review of the Peanut, which will be updated to a full review after a couple more meals.
Saturday - January 12, 2019: We added a new page about the 220' long Anthology of Argentine Mural in Kansas City, Kansas.
Monday - January 14, 2019: I made my second visit to the new Peanut Olathe, this time having another of the dishes the Peanut bar & grills ore known for. The triple BLT is the same bacon, cheddar cheese, black pepper, red onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo on toasted whole wheat as the single BLT, but with additional helpings of everything, including an additional slice of bread.
It was a REALLY good sandwich, one of the best BLTs I have had, but at $13 it better be. It comes with sides like potato chips or coleslaw, but you will have to pay more if you want French fries or any of the other sides which I prefer.
Thursday - January 17, 2019: We added a new page devoted to the Miners Hall Museum in Franklin, Kansas.
Friday - January 18, 2019: We had supper at Hyderabad Darbar, an Indian restaurant which opened a few weeks ago in Lenexa, Kansas. They specialize in Hyderabadi cuisine, the native cooking style of the Hyderabadi Muslims, which has different recipes for different events.
Food is ordered at a counter with a menu on the wall. There are no descriptions, photos or even the explanation of what type of cuisine they are. We had never had Hyderabadi cuisine and were somewhat lost on what to order. It was particularly hard to find our how spicy dishes would be and all of the dishes were spicier than Linda likes.
We ordered chicken Manchuria and chili chicken appetizers, lamb vindaloo and garlic naan. Total $32.96. The appetizers looked and tasted much alike, but the chili chicken included onion and sweet pepper and was my favorite of the two.
The lamb vindaloo had the best flavor and was the spiciest of the three dishes. The dish was mostly sauce, with 5 or six small, fat bony pieces of lamb and one piece of potato. It comes only with steamed rice.
The garlic naan (flat bread) was very good.
Sunday - January 20, 2019: For lunch we revisited Dogwood's Cafe in Kansas City, Kansas. It has been about 4 years since the last time we dined at Dogwood's. Linda had the mesquite grilled chicken breast sandwich with bacon, Swiss, lettuce, and tomato on a bun for $6.99. I had the $6.99 full size B.L.T. with a half pound of bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on Texas toast. We split a $3.29 basket of French fries and onion rings.
The onion rings are great, but the basket was a large serving of shoestring fries and just four onion rings.
I had the BLT so I could compare it to the triple BLT at the Peanut earlier in the week. I liked the Peanut's BLT better, but this was a good sandwich and only a little more than half the price.
On our way home, we checked out the 42nd Street Rosedale Mural Project on Mission Road. The large vacant lot has a long concrete wall on two sides where Rosedale Middle School have painted during summer art programs.
Taggers are encouraged to contact Rosedale Development Association to get involved with making the space beautiful.
It is a great chili dog, made with homemade chili and few beans! The large dog is $7.99 and normally comes with Chile con queso, but I am a purest who asks for the cheese to be left off of chili dogs. The lightly battered fries are good and a bargain at $1.
We added a new page devoted to the Miners Hall Museum in Franklin, Kansas, which is built on the site of the Miners Hall where the Amazon Army marches began.
Thursday - January 24, 2019: We had supper at Hayward's Pit Bar B Que. I was a Hayward's the early years that it was near Antioch and College Boulevard in Overland Park, but it slipped over the years and then changed hands, before moving to Santa Fe near Old Town in Lenexa. The folks who work there work very hard at customer service, but there is something about the smoked meats which hasn't agreed with my pallet.
Tonight I went with "Kyle's Killer Sausage" which doesn't really get its flavor from smoking, but from the ingredients - Krizman's smoked sausage link, butterflied and topped with Helga Sweet Heat Gourmet Mustard and hot giardiniera with your choice of pepper jack or ghost pepper cheese. I substituted cheddar, which I thought went well with the other ingredients. This really was a flavorful sandwich! $11 with the choice of a side item.
Friday - January 25, 2019: I had lunch at the recently remodeled Austin's Bar & Grill in Olathe, Kansas. The entrance has been moved and the Tvs have been changed. I'm sure there are many other differences, but the one that stood out for me is they have eliminated the condiment bar, which I liked.
The menu has also changed and I tried a new item - a BLT with 10 slices of bacon, lettuce, tomato, garlic onion aioli on berry wheat bread. It is a good BLT and a good buy. While I like the Triple BLT at The Peanut, across the street better, the Peanut's Triple BLT is $13 with potato chips and Austin's BLT with 10 slices of bacon and fries is $10.
For supper we revisited the Lenexa Public Market food hall and start-up space which opened up 16 months ago in the lower level of the new Lenexa City Hall. In addition to several purpose built restaurants, three pop-up restaurants are currently operating: Red Kitchen Tamales' Joe's Cellar and Sohaila's Kitchen.
Sohaila's Kitchen is a fusion of Pakistani and Indian cuisine. Unfortunately, there were only three different dishes remaining this evening, but we want to try them for lunch when there is more selection.
Tonight we both ordered from Topp'd Pizza + Salads. I had the $9 Monster Meat pizza (red tomato sauce, cheddar, pepperoni, canadian bacon, italian sausage, meatballs, bacon) and Linda had the $7 Meatball Grinder (9" italian hoagie, red tomato sauce, mozzarella/provolone cheese, our hand-made all beef meatballs). Both had the same sauce, which had a hint of a spice I would have left out, but not enough of it to spoil the meal.
Overall, I enjoyed supper, but not enough to go out of my way to go there. It is a better choice for people already doing something else in the Lenexa City Center.
Monday - January 28, 2019: For lunch, I made a second visit to Hyderabad Darbar, the new Indian restaurant in Lenexa which specialize in Hyderabadi cuisine, the native cooking style of the Hyderabadi Muslims. This was a much better experience.
In addition to the menu, from 11-3 there are three lunch specials: A vegetarian combo for $7.99, a chicken combo for $8.99 and a goat combo for $9.99. The dishes in the combo are displayed and plated in front of you. The combos come with veg biryani, chicken biryani or goat biryani, the other items change from day to day, but there is an appetizer, a curry, raiata, naan, very small salad and desert. They are served on huge platters.
I had the chicken combo, which today came with chicken 65, and the choice of two chicken main dishes: chicken tikka masala or gongura chicken. I went with the gongura, which the man plating the food said was spicier. All of dishes were good, but I really enjoyed the gongura chicken, which while spicy, was lighter and had more subtle flavors than many curries.
The naan had been baked in advance and wrapped in foil. It was OK, but fresher would be better.


As a Leader?—?Why I Love to Teach!
Scrum is intended as a simple, yet sufficient framework for complex product delivery. Scrum is not a one-size-fits-all solution, a silver bullet or a complete methodology.
In my experience, the word YES is one of the biggest things holding the organization back from focusing on their desire towards innovation, disruption, agile, or more customer-centric.
In this article, I will discuss the dangerous dynamic that can arise when a Product Owner, Scrum Master, or the management of an organization focuses a Development Team on velocity. What does velocity refer to?
Most agile approaches recommend the use of explicit quality standards expressed as check-lists. Scrum has the Definition of Done to ensure the product is releasable, and Kanban teams use exit or entry criteria between stages to add rigor to the process.
"You gotta flex. You gotta look good, bro." - Kiari "Offset" Cephus. Scrum stands on the three legs of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Of these, transparency can arguably be said to come first.
A quick question for all you Scrum enthusiasts out there. . How familiar are you with Scrum Guide?". Scrum what now? I know that it exists but I've never actually read it. Experience is more important anyway. . I've heard about it, I'm planning to read it someday. .

The Product Owner role is implemented in organizations in various different ways. The responsibilities and authorities of Product Owners vary across organizations, departments, teams and Product Owners. This can be explained to some extend, because it is a role that people need to grow into.
Background. Some teams of knowledge workers ( En.wikipedia.org , 2019) work primarily on complex problems. Scrum operates in the complex problem domain, so it can be a natural choice. Picture this context. Single team Scrum is in use by many teams of different initiatives.

A Historic Program That Pays For Itself
The REA helped power the countryside—its successor continues the cost-effective mission
The federal government provides financial support to all three kinds of electric utilities. But the effect of these subsidies on the national budget varies. Looking at all three, financial support from the Rural Utilities Service, which began in the 1930s as the Rural Electrification Administration, works out as a bargain.
The highest federal subsidies (mostly as tax breaks) go to publicly owned municipal electric systems. When these utilities issue tax-exempt bonds, the federal government loses income. In 2003 (the most recent data available) the cost to the government was $909 million.
The next highest subsidies (also in the form of tax breaks) go to for-profit, investor-owned utilities. In 2011 (the most recent data available) the cost for this subsidy was $4.8 billion.
However, federal subsidies to rural electric co-ops actually earn money for the U.S. Treasury. When electric cooperatives need to spend large amounts of money to build new generators, new transmission lines, and other parts of the power grid, they shop around for the best interest rates. When the rates from commercial lenders are too high, rural electric cooperatives can borrow money for their projects from the RUS.
But these loans are not interest-free. Although its interest rates are lower than commercial bank rates, the RUS charges rates that are slightly higher than the government's costs to provide the money. The federal government earns money on its RUS loans–$274 million in fiscal year 2012, and a projected $369 million income for 2013.
Mike Ganley, director of Strategic Planning & Analysis for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the national trade organization for America's electric cooperatives, says, "RUS electric loans do not cost taxpayers a single penny."

The tradition of Vienna Bronze can be traced to the middle of the 19th century. Around 50 manufacturers resided in Vienna at the turn of the century, as small Austrian bronze sculpture with its fine detail enjoyed great popularity.
At this time numerous sculptors and modellers were active in selling their work and models to bronze manufacturers, who then reproduced these. This means that a stamp (hallmark) alone shows who the manufacturer of a Bronze is, but not who the creator was. The artists remained largely unknown. Of course there are several artists whose works are also well-known, such as Lorenzl, Zach, etc. But even they did not work on every piece themselves, only the original model. One had chasers for the subsequent reproduction. Thus there are also differences in price for identical models, depending on the quality of the work.
The quality of the final piece depended on how gifted the chaser was and how perfectly he carried out his work. The painting of the final finish too was, and still is, an important factor.
Animal figures can occasionally be found for a few hundred pounds, though sculptures in pristine condition and larger figures can be worth several thousand pounds. Value is affected by condition. The cold painted decoration is relatively easy to damage and worn Enamel will reduce value considerably.

Minutes: August 2, 2010
Carol Kadish P

Discussion on Council Ordinance #10-18 Open Space Tax Fund
Michael Furrey said he met with Councilman Harry Shortway and walked the Stanhill Property. He said Councilman Shortway is very interested in completing the bike path. Councilman Shortway had introduced an ordinance that would take the money out of the Open Space Tax Fund and make it available for other uses, including lighting and other amenities for Maple Grange Park. If the ordinance passes on August 26, 2010, the question will be placed on the November 2010 ballot. It includes a measure to create a committee to review and recommend open space and recreation parcels, subverting the Environmental Commission's statutory role in doing so. Commission chairman Dennis Miranda said Councilman Shortway "does not recognize the enabling legislation" that allows the Environmental Commission to deal with open space issues and undermines the Environmental Commission. "It's abundantly clear that the real goal is to undermine the Environmental Commission," said Mr. Miranda.
The Land Conservancy
Chairman Miranda announced that Meghan Haidet of The Land Conservancy resigned and said that Sandra Urgo, former mayor of Roxbury, N.J., would take Meghan's place on TLC in serving Vernon Township.
Dennis announced that Pam Underhill, superintendent of the Appalachian Trail, refuses to meet with the Environmental Commission, telling Dennis he will not meet with "his cast of clowns" regarding the violations occurred by wholesale mowing of the trail and subsequent destruction of endangered vegetation. A meeting of the Environmental Commission, Appalachian Trail representatives, and Wawayanda State Park representatives is to take place on August 10 at 10:00 a.m. The commission members expect to attend. Rich Barron, Ed Guddell, Larry Wheelock, Kevin Lutz, Steve Ellis, Jessica Kreugel, and the Highlands Coalition is also expected to attend. It will be advertised as a public meeting.
Dennis Miranda announced that the Scenic Byway proposal passed its last hurdle and was approved by the Sussex County Freeholder Board. Now, the Environmental Commission and the Historical Society will begin the application process and the writing of the historic sites on the byway. The deadline for the application is in September. If Scenic Byway status is granted by November, the EC can apply for federal ICET funds in 2011.
The Environmental Commission moved to adopt the minutes of their July 19 Regular Meeting on a first by Daniel Boltz and a second by Allison Petryk.
Roll call vote: Dan Boltz, yes; David Gornstein, yes; Carol Kadish, yes; Allison Petryk, yes; Dennis Miranda, yes; Ariana Miranda (unofficial intern vote), yes.
July 19, 2010 Executive Session Meeting Minutes
The Environmental Commission moved to adopt the minutes of the July 19 Executive Session meeting on a first by David Gornstein and a second by Dennis Miranda.
David Gornstein reported that the Land Use Board never officially adopted the NRI, and that may be justification to now ask for a new NRI to be done. Chairman Miranda agreed. As a result, the NRI cannot be used as a legal document because there is no basis for it.
Michael Furrey said he recalls that the Environmental Commission had made several requests for it in writing but the Land Use Board never responded. Dennis Miranda said right now the EC has nothing to rely on when reviewing applications or making recommendations.
Dave Gornstein said he felt a soil conservation element was most important. He said the commission should also contact the DEP to find out where it is with regard to the water budget. He said they should contact the Land Use Board and the Township Council because it would have to be done for plan endorsement. Dennis Miranda suggested revisiting the request for funding for an NRI.
Dennis Miranda suggested cancelling the August 16, 2010 Environmental Commission meeting. All were in favor.
There being no further business, Carol Kadish moved to adjourn the meeting. Dennis Miranda seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Minutes approved: September 13, 2010


I love opera. It captivated me at a very young age. Ever since I can remember, I was fascinated by this unique form of musical storytelling. When I lived in New York City, I could not resist attending every performance that took place at the Metropolitan.
Attending an opera is a unique experience and one that I guarantee you will never forget. Most people really enjoy the performance and end up becoming lifelong fans. If you live in Europe and want to give opera a go, you are very lucky. In that part of the world, you have easy access to dozens of opera houses, which host thousands of performances. Here is a short list of some of the best of those venues.
The Viennese got the opera bug early, just 19 years after the first one was performed in Italy. In 1622, the Italian Empress Eleonora of Gonzaga introduced the city to this art form. The city's residents loved it.
At one point this tiny city had seven full-sized opera houses. Today, three of these major venues are still open, so Vienna Opera Tickets are relatively easy to come by. However, more tourists are deciding to make spending a night at the opera a part of their Viennese experience. As a result, tickets can sell out quickly, so always check availability before firming up on your travel dates.
Rome is a fantastic city to visit. When it comes to opera, Rome has a long history. There are three theatres in the city which offer full-scale performances. The Teatro Brancaccio, Teatro Argentina, and Teatro dell'Opera are all great venues. If you would like to experience seeing an opera in a modern setting, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is the place to head to.
But, you really cannot beat seeing a performance at the Terme di Caracalla. This open-air theatre is located in the grounds of the ancient Roman baths. It is an enchanting place, which has a very special ambiance.
For opera lovers, Milan's Teatro Alla Scala is something of a Mecca. This venue's unique acoustics are special enough to be appreciated by everyone including those of you who are new to opera.
This 18th Century opera house is located in Covent Garden. It is an exciting place to visit that is close to many of London's important sights. So, potentially you could do some sightseeing and finish off your day by attending the opera. There is no special dress code for this venue, so you will not have to worry about returning you your hotel to get changed.
If none of the above opera performance venues appeals to you, take a look at this article. Once you have clicked through to it you will be presented with a list of the top 10 opera countries by numbers of performances, per year.

Galvanomagnetische Effekte werden in der Festkörperphysik thermische und elektrische Effekte genannt, die bei einem stromführenden Leiter in einem Magnetfeld auftreten.

Das Magnetfeld wirkt über die Lorentzkraft auf die Ladungsträger, die senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Elektronen gerichtet ist. Dies hat unter anderem Auswirkungen auf den elektrischen Widerstand durch verlängerte Strompfade und auf den mit einem elektrischen Strom verbundenen Wärmetransport. Einige der Effekte dienen als Grundlage für Messgeräte (zum Beispiel Hall-Sensor, Feldplatte).

Formen
Die Grundformen des galvanomagnetischen Effekts sind:
 transversaler galvanomagnetischer Effekt (Magnetfeld senkrecht zur Stromrichtung): Durch die Lorentzkraft entsteht senkrecht (transversal) zur Stromrichtung eine elektrische Spannung (Hall-Effekt). Außerdem tritt eine transversale Temperaturdifferenz auf (Ettingshausen-Effekt). Beide Effekte sind linear in der Magnetfeldstärke. Angewandt wird der Effekt zum Beispiel im Hall-Sensor.
 longitudinaler galvanomagnetischer Effekt (Magnetfeld parallel zur Stromrichtung): Aufgrund der Ablenkung der Strombahnen nimmt der Widerstand in longitudinaler Richtung zu, manchmal auch Thomson-Effekt genannt oder galvanomagnetischer Thomson-Effekt – nicht zu verwechseln mit dem thermoelektrischen Thomson-Effekt. Dies ist ein magnetoresistiver Effekt. Der galvanomagnetische Thomson-Effekt ist besonders groß bei Bismut. Es tritt auch eine longitudinale Temperaturdifferenz auf (Nernst-Effekt – der Begriff ist mehrdeutig, da es auch einen thermomagnetischen Nernst-Effekt gibt). Die longitudinalen Effekte sind aus Symmetriegründen nicht von der Richtung des Magnetfelds abhängig und damit quadratisch in der Magnetfeldstärke.
 Wiegand-Effekt: Unter dem Einfluss eines sich ändernden äußeren Magnetfelds erfolgt die Ummagnetisierung von Ferromagneten nicht kontinuierlich, sondern in Sprüngen.

Anwendungen
 Hallsensoren werden zur kontaktlosen Messung von Drehzahlen verwendet.
 Feldplatten werden zur unterbrechungsfreien Messung von Strömen verwendet.
 Sensoren nach dem Wiegand-Effekt werden zur Geschwindigkeitsmessung verwendet.

Verwandte Effekte
Galvanomagnetische Effekte sind eng mit thermomagnetischen Effekten verwandt. Während bei galvanomagnetischen Effekten ein elektrischer Strom und ein Magnetfeld eine Potential- oder Temperaturdifferenz erzeugen, erzeugen bei thermomagnetischen Effekten ein Wärmestrom und ein Magnetfeld Potential- und Temperaturdifferenzen. Die Erzeugung der Potentialdifferenz heißt hier Ettingshausen-Nernst-Effekt (in transversaler Richtung auch Nernst-Effekt genannt), und die der Temperaturdifferenz Righi-Leduc-Effekt (transversal) bzw. Maggi-Righi-Leduc-Effekt (longitudinal).

Bei der Thermoelektrizität (ohne Magnetfeld) erzeugt ein Wärmestrom eine Potentialdifferenz und umgekehrt eine Potentialdifferenz einen Wärmestrom.

When someone asks me what I do, I reply I work as a Computer Analyst in the Civil Service and I Quilt then wait for what's coming next or not…hehehehe. On some occasions depending on if I was talking face to face or chatting, I have to follow up with a picture of what I mean by a Quilt and get responses like oh you make duvets or oh you do patchwork…huh? You are probably wondering…are they wrong? well not entirely but there's more to a Quilt than being just a form of bedding (find out more as we go along) and you could say patchwork is one layer of the Quilt.
On one occasion, I was talking to someone about my craft and the guy said OK, I'll check out your Instagram page. A while later, he came back to me and said…"I had to go on Google to find out what Quilting was all about" then went on to say, you know what, an average Nigerian doesn't know what a Quilt means.
He is absolutely right! I certainly didn't know what a Quilt was until 4 years ago and sometimes it's easier to just go along than let your ignorance show. I mean why should you? When thanks to Google you can find out about anything in a matter of minutes right 😉 , Thank God for technology!
Anyway, Quilting isn't popular in Nigeria, almost non-existent even (check my previous post on the statistics here) but I've realized there's so much more I can do to change that. Unlike some amazing Quilters I know who come from a long line of Quilters or did some Quilting with their grandparent's growing up, I had to discover Quilting on my own and I can say majority of the potential Quilters in Nigeria don't even know about the craft yet :(.
I'd love to share details about my projects but I bet it will be meaningless to the average non-quilting audience. Consequently, as stated in my previous post (no resolutions…only commitments), I am committing to a day every week going forward to post useful information about the Quilting process for every level of audience.
This is a Quilting blog after all, so please look out for my subsequent posts in that regard and feel free to ask any question or particular information you are interested in.


A big part of their work deals with the Icelandic fishing and harbor environment, started with a one month stay in a remote fishing village in the NE of Iceland, called Vopnafjörður. Since the trip, they have continuously worked on "exercises" and examinations on how to translate shapes, materials and details from the harbor and the coastal environment.
The objects vary from furniture with abstract functions, sticks arranged with ropes and collected objects, porcelain pebble stones, ocean like glass vases and furniture referring to the fishing harbors in Iceland.
Their foremost goal is to look and investigate cultural values and translate them in the shape of objects.

Doomed Crane Had History of Malfunctions
The site supervisor for the lead contractor at the site of the 2008 midtown Manhattan crane crash testified today in the manslaughter trial of master rigger William Rapetti and revealed that the doomed crane had experienced a spate of problems starting three months before the accident.
Matthew Katkocin who was running the East 51s Street job site for Joy Contractors, Elizabeth, N.J., was asked to read from the daily work logs that he had taken, revealing a flurry of problems with the crane's functioning between January 2008 and the collapse, which occurred on March 15.
According to the log, problems began early in the year when the Department of Buildings issued a stop-work order that lasted between Jan. 5-10. Katkocin said he did not remember the exact reason for the order, only that it was related to the crane.
The crane was again inoperable between Jan. 22-24 because of problems with its computer system.
The log indicated that the crane's manufacturer, Favco, was supposed to send a technician from Texas on January 24, but instead of sending a person, the manufacturer sent a new joystick and other parts.
Prosecutor Deborah Hickey countered that the technician eventually "fixed" the problem on Feb. 16, 2008, an assertion unchallenged by the defense in the redirect. But Rapetti's co-counsel, John Esposito, said after the hearing that the machine was "still showing problems" around March 7.
During his cross examination of another witness, Rapetti's lead defense attorney, Aurthur Aidala said additional changes were made to the system before March 15 in order to cut costs by speeding up construction, but the operator of the crane was not informed that a smaller manipulation of the joystick would make it lift and lower faster. Aidala said this created an awkward sensation for the crane operator, similar to driving a malfunctioning car.
"You're pushing on the pedal and the computer gives you another speed," he said.
Katkocin's testimony also revealed that he was, in fact, not at the site at the time of the collapse. Earlier in the week Aidala alleged that Katkocin and other Joy Contractors workers had congregated near a group of "revelers" hanging around down the block from the site as part of a St. Patrick's Day-themed "bar crawl."
Katkocin said that the group of "bar crawlers" was across the street from him on Second Avenue when the crane toppled. Although the defense has not directly accused him of drinking alcohol, Katkocin openly admitted he was consuming a beverage at the time, but that it was merely a cup of coffee.

Azerbaijan In the Spotlight
While this month marks the first anniversary of Azerbaijan's membership of the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe, the celebrations are likely to be over-shadowed by questions over Azeri commitments to democratisation and human rights. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will meet on January 24th, and high on the agenda will be Azerbaijan. A solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, also involving Armenia, does not appear to be close, although important developments are taking place in concluding agreements on sovereignty over the Caspian Sea. Relations with the US are improving, with a visit by the US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to Baku in mid-December, and the US President George Bush signing the law repealing the aid ban to Azerbaijan on January 11th.
Azerbaijan joined the Council of Europe in January 2001, together with Armenia, committing itself to solving the 13-year conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, improving its democratisation processes and abiding by the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights. This step was seen as an important development in the country's re-emergence from the lingering effects of the Soviet era. Similar to other newcomers to the council Azerbaijan is subject to strict monitoring procedures on the issues of democracy and human rights. However, a report by the assembly's Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee criticised Azerbaijan for jailing political prisoners, an offence that could lead to sanctions being imposed. Two years ago the council suspended Russia's voting rights.
Much of the discussion in recent weeks has focussed on three individuals, two ex-defence ministers and an ex-interior minister, but human rights organisations believe that he number of political prisoners in Azerbaijan reaches into the hundreds. The process of democratisation has also been criticised, with some European commentators claiming that no progress has been made in the last year. In late December last year between 3000 and 5000 demonstrators took to the streets to demand he resignation of President Haydar Aliyev, complaining about social hardship.
They also believed that Aliyev had not fulfilled his promises, made before his election in 1993, to solve the Nagorno-Karbakh conflict with Armenia. The 1988 to 1994 war with Armenia essentially ended in a bitter defeat for Azerbaijan and a peace agreement seems as distant as ever despite efforts by the UN and the OSCE through the Minsk Group of Russia, France and the US. According to the borders drawn up during the Soviet era the enclave is part of Azerbaijan, but Armenia and the enclave's ethnic Armenian inhabitants claim it to be part of Armenia. The Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Askanian on January 8th insisted again that Azerbaijan had no historical claims to the region, and on January 12th the president of the self-declared republic Arkadiy Gukasyan said that it retained the right to reject any peace treaty of which it did not approve.
The other regional difficulty- although rather less bloody- has been the issue of sovereignty over the Caspian Sea, centring on the oil and gas reserves under its bed. Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have traditionally sided with Russia, which wants to split the seabed according to the length of shoreline each country has and to keep the waters in common, and both signed agreements with Russia to this effect last year. Azerbaijan has long had a dispute with Turkmenistan over oil fields in the middle of the sea, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited both leaders- separately- to Moscow later in January to discuss the issue, hopefully inducing a closure. Turkmenistan on January 9th said that the long-awaited summit to sort out the sea's hydrocarbon resources would be held in Ashgabat later this year.
The other protagonist, Iran, has stepped up its diplomatic efforts to try and counter the Russian initiative- aside from other concerns it does not want the Russian fleet in the southern Caspian. Tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran have risen since Iranian gunboats forced two Azeri oil-exploration ships from a disputed oil field in July 2001, but recent efforts by Iran indicate that Tehran would like a resolution. The Iranian envoy for Caspian affairs Mehdi Safari was last in Baku on January 8th- his second visit in recent weeks. All the same a planned visit to Tehran by Aliyev has again been postponed.
Relations with the US have been improving, especially since September 11th. On a visit to Baku in mid-December Donald Rumsfeld said that he wanted the US to have closer military ties with Azerbaijan, and that the campaign in Afghanistan gave the US an opportunity to "reconnect with those (Caspian) countries". George Bush finally signed into law in early January the bill suspending the law banning direct US aid to the Azeri government under a section of the Freedom Support Act. This is largely seen as recognition of Azerbaijan's permission allowing the US to overfly the country en route to Afghanistan.

Why the ICC is trying Mali cultural destruction as war crime
Attacks on cultural heritage in war zones – in this case, in Timbuktu – have spiked as part of a strategy of hate and persecution. Some say such trials can be key to peace-building.
By Peter Ford, Staff Writer AUGUST 22, 2016
A former Islamist rebel admitted on Monday to destroying Muslim shrines in Mali and begged forgiveness on the opening day of his trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
Ahmad al-Fahdi al-Mahdi said he had been caught in an "evil wave" during Mali's 2012 civil war when he led a jihadi team armed with pickaxes that leveled 14 adobe mausoleums in the city of Timbuktu. The buildings – UNESCO World Heritage sites – had housed the tombs of Muslim scholar-saints since the 14th century.
Mr. Mahdi is the first man to appear before the ICC charged with cultural destruction as a war crime. Prosecutors hope that the case will draw attention to the increasingly common attacks on cultural and religious sites in Iraq and Syria by Islamic State (IS).
"This prosecution is timely" in light of the "stark increase in crimes against cultural property" in war zones, says Richard Dicker, head of the International Justice program at Human Rights Watch.
The world first noticed the trend when Taliban fighters in Afghanistan blew up two monumental Buddha statues in 2003. IS fighters burned down the Mosul library in Iraq last year, and also blew up monuments at the Roman site of Palmyra in Syria.
Until now, the ICC and other international courts have focused on crimes against individuals, such as murder, rape, and torture.
While those kinds of crimes "have an immediate impact," says Erica Bussey, a senior legal adviser to Amnesty International, "the consequences of cultural destruction go beyond the victims; it's an attack on people's cultural identity."
"The intention in almost every case is to attack the dignity" of those who attach importance to the wrecked buildings or monuments, says Richard Goldstone, the first chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
Worse, he says, such attacks "should be seen as a signal of serious persecution to follow," since they are often "precursors to crimes against humanity such as ethnic cleansing."
"The destruction of culture is a central element of a global strategy of hatred," wrote Irina Bokova, the head of UNESCO, recently. "The protection of such heritage – including by ending impunity for crimes – must … move to the forefront of peacebuilding."
For the people of Timbuktu, freed from Islamist occupation by French troops in 2013, Mahdi's trial is "a vindication of the importance of their culture and the place these shrines hold … as symbols of the culture," says Cynthia Schneider, co-director of the Timbuktu Renaissance initiative.
They were built at the height of Timbuktu's cultural glory as a Sufi center of learning, noted for its diversity, plurality, and spirit of inquiry. The shrines are "a foundation of civilization in Timbuktu," says Dr. Schneider, who also teaches diplomacy at Georgetown University in Washington.
Mahdi, a member of the al Qaeda-linked Ansar Dine group, targeted the shrines "precisely in light [of] and because of their religious and historical character," according to the ICC charge sheet.
Mahdi has pleaded guilty to the charges, expressing regret for his actions, and in return is expected to receive considerably less than the maximum 30-year jail sentence he faces.
But the trial "shows that the international community takes these things seriously," says Judge Goldstone. While IS commanders may hold little regard for the ICC, he says, "regular and serious investigations and prosecutions will deter at least some of them, and that is ample justification."

Q: what is the algorithm to optimally fill a dvd for burning What is the optimal algorithm for filling a set of Blu-ray disc given many hundred gigabytes of assets of varying sizes?
I am trying to consolidate a large number of old CDROMS, DVDs and small hard drives and put everything in a database indexed by MD5 signature. A daunting task for sure.
What I currently do is to sort the asset sizes (usually directory sizes) in descending order, start inserting the largest assets in the fill list skipping any that don't fit until I run out of assets. It runs almost instantaneously but I would not mind running overnight if necessary one time.
It usually gives me 95% or more utilization, but I am sure there is a way to use other combinations to give a higher efficiency. With huge items like disk images, I can get quite low utilization with this primitive method.
My thought is to take all combinations of the assets taken, 1 then 2, then 3, ... items at a time and keep a running value for the highest byte count < 25,025,314,816 bytes pointing to the array which sums to it. When I get to the point that I have so many assets taken at one time that none of the combinations will fit, stop and use the array pointed to by the running highest counter.
Is this the best possible algorithm?
There are 2 Perl modules which seem up to the task, Algorithm-Combinatorics and Math-Combinatorics. Any advice on which is faster, more stable, cooler?
My scheme is to write a script to calculate the sizes of a large number of directories and show me the optimal contents of the dozens of disks to burn.
And, I don't want to just fill on a file by file basis as I want entire directories on the same disc.

A: This is an NP-complete problem known as bin packing. There is no known polynomial-time algorithm that solves it optimally. In other words, the optimal solution cannot be found without basically trying all solutions.
On the plus side, a very simple heuristic like "put the largest remaining folder on the first disk that has room" will guarantee that you will use fewer than twice as many disks as the best case. (You can read more details on the problem's Wikipedia article).

A: The algorithm is called 1d bin-packing. The algorithm is very fast but not optimal. You can also use a brute force algorithm but the search space is very big. Here is a program with a greedy algorithm: http://www.phpclasses.org/package/2027-PHP-Pack-files-without-exceeding-a-given-size-limit.html

A: The most practical method I have yet found to efficiently fill my Blu-Ray disks.
I make a list of fully qualified paths to all of the available files to burn.
Then (arbitrarily) decide on how many directory levels to consider a bunch or accept a command line option for it. This is to keep directories full of like items all together on a single blu-ray. There is also a STUFF option to insert the largest files first and when a file would cause an overflow, look to the next smaller one until you run out of files or space.
Make a hash with each directory as key and total size of the files it contains as the data. Also keep a parallel hash with the count of files per directory as slack space and directory overhead apparently add up and have to be accounted for.
Pick 22 as the magic number. If you have <= 22 directories, try all combinations to find
the one closest to but not over 25.025 GB. If you have more than 22, just use the 22 largest. I use the Perl module Algorithm::Combinatorics to find all of the combinations. Through trial and mostly error, I determined that combinations of 21 items takes just a few seconds. 23 items takes many minutes which is longer than my attention span. 22 takes about 35 seconds.
An output directory is also accepted and checked for existing data. There is an option to move the files (copy, check size and unlink).
Every time I bought a new hard drive, it was usually twice as large as the previous one so I would just copy everything over. With a Nikon D800E (Extreme!), HDR and Panoramas, I finally ran out of space.
My project was to unique, weed and consolidate 15 years worth of [mostly junk] photos, videos, movies, music, etc. I inventoried roughly a dozen storage devices, calculated MD5 signatures and put them all in a database. I picked one drive as master for pics and one for video and nuked everything else. I found 8 copies of some stuff!
I now have about 10 TB of free disk space!!!
Below the function which does all of the real work in case anybody is interested.

Oops! Your answer couldn't be submitted because:
Your post appears to contain code that is not properly formatted as code

The stupid web page mangled my pristine code. Sorry :(..

A: Use the algorithm from "Knapsack" optimization problem.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

*

*Set weight to be equal to the file size

*Set value to be equal to "weight"

*Run the algorithm for every subsequent disk to be packed

It may not be the best choice (it will maximize the fill-factor of the next disk instead of minimizing the number of total disks needed), but it's well documented and easy to find examples and working code for the programming language of your choice (even Spreadsheets) on the web.
