Build this wood stove catalytic converter and your heating appliance can put out more heat while generating less creosote and soot.
The graph shows relative performance of the same stove with and without a catalytic converter over a 12 hour period.

[LEFT] The creosote developed in the stovepipe without the catalytic converter is much denser and far more difficult to clean off than the material left in the stovepipe when the converter was used. [RIGHT] The creosote left when using the converter is dry and flaky and often falls away of its own accord. The overall weight of the creosote in the catalytic mode was about 20% of that found in the conventional mode.

Wood heating, for all the satisfaction it brings, involves a lot of hard work ... and anything that could trim the burden of cutting, splitting, and hauling fuel or reduce the frequency of chimney cleanings would be more than welcome to just about any stove owner. Of course, most veteran woodburners take pains to see that the wood they cut gets well used, and as a consequence many such folks have toyed with devices that claim to either increase heat transfer efficiency or reduce creosote formation. Unfortunately, as many of those experimenters have found out, heat exchangers generally speed up the accumulation of creosote deposits and most add-to-the-fire chemicals don't seem to help much in removing this messy (and dangerous) substance. (See Testing Chemical Chimney Cleaning Products).
Of course, over the past few years woodstove manufacturers have devoted a great deal of research effort to improving the performance of their products in the hope of increasing overall heating efficiency, reducing creosote deposits, and limiting the load of pollutants that woodburners release into the atmosphere. We've chronicled that research and have waited anxiously for breakthroughs.
Well, we're glad to say the latest wood stove catalytic converters and secondary-combustion stoves do seem to fill the bill. Many of us have eyed them longingly, wishing that we could justify replacing our old metal boxes with state-of-the-art heaters. Unfortunately, as attractive as those alternatives are, their price tags are usually pretty danged formidable.
Consequently — after suffering through a heating season of wishful frustration — MOTHER EARTH NEWS' staff members began conducting some experiments of their own in April of 1982. The goal was to develop a catalytic converter package that could be added to any of the majority of existing stove types so that efficient, clean burning could be made available to the wood-heating public at an affordable price.
And if you read about the stack temperature thermostat, you already know that members of our staff had been working on woodburning-related projects with independent researcher B.V. Alvarez for some time. The catalyst project was once again headed by B.V. and was, in fact, in progress when we reported on the thermostat. Since that issue went to press, B.V. has accepted a position directing engineering at Buck Stove Corporation, and the final prototype was developed and tested in cooperation with that company. By the time you read this, Buck will be well on its way to introducing a retrofit package (patent pending), similar to the one shown here, for its line of products.
Collectively, Alvarez and our staffers spent thousands of hours — many of them during the hot, humid days of summer — cuddled up in a non-air-conditioned room at MOTHER EARTH NEWS' research center with the stove that Buck provided for testing. We won't belabor the amount of effort that has gone into this article (much of which, of course, also went into the development of Buck Stove's new product) or take the space to try to thank everyone on the outside who's helped out. Perhaps it's enough to say that all of the parties involved had and have a commitment to see that this technology gets to the public — that is, to you.
Now some of the recently released state-of-the-art heaters can achieve excellent combustion efficiency without resorting to catalytic converters, but without exception these units are carefully designed from the legs up. So for those of us who already have woodburning heaters, a retrofit catalyst is for now the only way to significantly improve combustion efficiency.
Chemically, a catalyst is a substance that will facilitate a chemical reaction without being changed by it. Ceramic honeycombs coated with platinum and/or palladium and/or rhodium have filled this role in cleaning up automobile exhaust emissions since the early 1970's. The devices allow carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and carbon particles that have slipped past an engine's combustion chambers to be afterburned at a temperature lower than their usual ignition point.
And in the late 1970's, engineers at Corning Glass Works (then a major producer of ceramic monoliths — a trade term used to describe the honeycomb structure — for cars) recognized that the emissions from woodstoves were similar, in many ways, to those from autos. By building a honeycomb with more open space (to avoid draft restriction and allow easy passage of heavy particles), they were able to develop a "tailpipe scrubber" for woodburners.
A catalytic converter can reduce the ignition temperature of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons from upward of 1300°F to the 500-700°F range. So, once the smoke passing through the catalyst reaches that threshold, it will oxidize as long as the combustibles in it are well mixed with a sufficient supply of air. After it's "lit," the converter will produce enough heat to maintain ignition, even though the temperature of the incoming "wood gas" may drop slightly below 500°F.
As a result, a properly functioning catalytic converter can boost woodstove combustion efficiency to over the 90% mark, since most of the burnables that slip past the fire zone will be ignited in the converter. Thus, the amount of material available to stick to stovepipe walls will be less (and pollution will be reduced). Furthermore, if the energy that's converted as the smoke is burned in the ceramic monolith can be extracted, there will be more heat released into the room.
That bit of background should make the advantages offered by a catalytic converter pretty obvious. A package similar to the one we're detailing in this article has proved itself able to increase a stove's heat output (which is a result of both combustion and heat-transfer efficiency) by better than 15%, and has reduced creosote accumulation in a stovepipe connector by more than 80%. Plus, while we haven't the equipment to actually quantify any reduction in emissions, it's a reasonable assumption (based on research already done by experts in the field) that the device cuts pollution significantly.
The package we've developed can be adapted to fit a wide variety of stoves, but the actual modifications will be up to you to design since every brand of heater will require its own, often minor, changes in the plan. The research team has installed converters on three different stoves, and has had to adapt them in each case. The crew's experience indicates, however, that the basic concept can be applied to just about any roughly cubic metal (steel or iron) woodburner. Therefore, the most important information we can provide you will be the fundamentals of good design rather than a single, rigidly limited set of instructions.
[l] Get the catalyst close to the heat source. Since the converter must reach a temperature of at least 500°F before it "lights off," a location close to the fire will insure that the unit starts working as soon as possible and continues to do so throughout the burn. In fact, we developed several early versions that attached to the stovepipe outside the firebox, and at that location our attempts to keep the catalyst active at low burn rates weren't very successful. In the test stove, for instance, a burn rate of two pounds of wood per hour produced a stack temperature of 250°F at the exit to the stovepipe. At that temperature, the catalyst died after a few minutes of activity. Furthermore, the chance of relighting the catalyst after fuel reloading was an iffy matter at best.
For that reason, the decision was made to move the package inside the stove and as close to the fire zone as possible. To avoid using up any more firebox capacity than would be absolutely necessary, the conventional round catalyst was abandoned, and two smaller rectangular units were used instead. The monoliths mount side by side, low on the stove's back wall. The ceramic blocks are encased in a steel box that pins them against the metal of the heater's firebox (a layer of Interam gasketing insulates the catalysts, seals any small gaps, and protects them from possible damage caused by contact with the steel).
The combination of the two rectangles and the steel box takes up 2 inches of firebox space to a point 6 inches above the stove floor. From there, the container tapers down to a 3/4" passage, which takes up only an inch of firebox depth up to the top of the back wall. Even with the unit installed in a small cast-iron heater (one which holds only 20 pounds of wood per load), this loss of firebox space hasn't been a problem. In fact, the reduction in capacity is more than made up for in increased output, and removal of any smoke shelf or baffle (which is no longer functional) may actually increase useful volume in some cases.
With the converters set close to the fire, the heater will maintain a catalyst intake temperature of at least 550°F even at a burn rate of two pounds of air-dried oak per hour. What's more, the heat released as the catalysts work seems to be efficiently exchanged through the walls of the stove before it's lost out the chimney (loss of heat up the flue from stovepipe-mounted units is a potential problem).
 Avoid flame impingement on the catalyst. If flames from the fire are allowed to lick directly onto the monolith, the ceramic may crack as a result of thermal shock. The baffled opening we devised prevented any flame front from reaching the catalysts during our extended testing. We positioned an array of thermocouples along the back side of the baffle to sense extreme temperatures, and found that the readings consistently stayed below 1000°F. We strongly suggest that you incorporate such a baffle arrangement, since eliminating it could result in drastically shortened catalyst life.
 There must be adequate oxygen at the catalyst. In order for the smoke to burn in the catalyst, it must be well mixed with a sufficient supply of air. The early prototypes had provisions for admitting preheated secondary air directly to the catalyst(s). But with the help of sound advice from a Corning Glass Works engineer and his oxygen analyzer, it was determined that specific provisions for secondary air weren't needed. Under all burn conditions, there was always an adequate air supply remaining at the converters.
Of course, one of the limitations inherent in retrofitting an existing stove with a catalyst is that the heater's firebox has not been specifically designed to optimize the muting of air and smoke. Our arrangement pulls the air across the zone where the smoke is being produced, and there's every indication that mixing is effective. Still, one obvious limitation involved in using rectangular catalysts is that the outer corners are often not as active as are the more central areas of the monoliths because the flow patterns and/or mixing are not perfect. In this regard, it's likely that a well-designed "from scratch" catalyst stove may perform slightly better, but everyone who's been involved in this project feels that such tradeoffs are easily compensated for by the cash saved when you retrofit instead of buying new.
 Hotter air (both primary and secondary) means better performance. Well-warmed primary air encourages efficient primary combustion, and hot secondary air is vital to maintaining ignition temperature at the catalyst(s). On the stove we tested, air was admitted through an automatic thermostat set about midway up the heater's door. A baffle attached to the inside of the door then directed the air down to the stove floor, both to preheat it and to direct the blast right at the burn zone. Secondary-air preheating is accomplished by pulling the air through the fire zone to the catalyst and, by all indications, has been quite effective.
 A well-sealed, strong bypass valve is mandatory. Even though the cell structure of the catalyst is relatively open (in comparison with that of the automotive variety), the unit does restrict natural draft to some extent, particularly when the catalyst isn't lit. For that reason, there must be a valve that allows you to shunt smoke around the catalyst while a new fire gets going and whenever the stove's doors are opened. Failure to engage the bypass when the doors are opened will almost certainly result in smoke spillage into the room, which could lead to a flaming backflash. This can be dangerous!
We strongly recommend that you interlock the bypass valve with the door latch (as the Buck Stove people have done), so that no one can inadvertently open the doors without bypassing the catalyst. For similar reasons, we also think that it's a good idea to arrange the valve so that it falls open under the influence of gravity. That way, any mechanical or operator problem will err on the side of safety.
The bypass valve should also be built to seal tightly. Any smoke that leaks around it will miss the catalyst and reduce efficiency. You should use metal that's at least 1/4" thick too, since the temperatures in the valve area are likely to be high enough to cause warping in thinner material, and the hinges should be of substantial thickness for the same reason.
If all stoves were the same, we could tell you exactly how to build a bypass valve for yours. As it is, though, there are a lot of differences among existing designs. That fact demands some ingenuity on the part of retrofit-minded stove owners.
The stove was set in a small, well-insulated room that was equipped with blowers to extract air and a generous inlet to admit air at the ambient temperature in the building. The temperatures at intake and exhaust were monitored continuously, and the rise was taken to be representative of the stove's heat output.
Because we knew that there would be experimental inaccuracies, we made every effort to err on the conservative side. For example, the stove we used was equipped with an automatic blower, but we chose to run the fan on "high" constantly. This kept the amount of waste heat from the blower roughly equal at all times, but also made it more difficult to get the catalysts lit off since so much heat was being extracted from the stove's back wall. If the fan had been operated on automatic, it's very possible that the efficiency would have been higher still with the catalysts in place.
While we were recording the efficiency measurements, we also ran a creosote accumulation test. At the beginning of each phase of the study, we installed a new, lower stovepipe connector that had been weighed. After the phase was completed, we removed the connector and reweighed it to judge the amount of creosote that had built up. During the entire test, we prevented stack temperature from ever exceeding 600°F at the bottom of the connector, so that deposits wouldn't be burned away by the heat.
Once you get the hang of it, operating a stove equipped with catalytic converters is only a little more difficult than managing a heater without them. (And in the long run, you won't have to be putting in wood as often.) As we've already mentioned, the single most important precaution is to always bypass the converters when the doors are opened. Furthermore, that same valve will have to be open while you're getting a fire going.
You'll probably find that mounting a surface temperature thermometer on the stove's back, just above the position of the converters, will be an important aid in monitoring catalyst performance. On one cast-iron stove that we've equipped with converters, a thermometer set in that location rises to better than 800°F soon after the converter lights off. And should the catalyst go out for some reason, we've found the thermometer to be the only easy way to tell.
Besides, we think you'll find it interesting to watch such an indication of the converters at work. The pointer will hang up in that 800°F range for several hours and then gradually drop as the makeup of the fuel changes over the course of the burn cycle. During the hours immediately after loading, the catalyst will be very active, handling the volatile hydrocarbons being released from the wood. Later, when the bulk of the burnable combustion waste is carbon monoxide, temperatures will drop, but the catalyst will still be doing its job for almost as long as coals remain in the firebox.
After the charge of wood burns down — but not out — you can open the bypass, add more fuel, and then close the bypass immediately. Once the heater's mass is up to temperature, the converters will be much more forgiving of occasional blasts of chilly air and should relight themselves easily.
As a final precaution when using catalytic converters, you'll have to avoid burning anything but natural wood and perhaps a little newsprint (without colored ink) to help light your fires. Materials such as coal, wood pellets, paper with colored ink, tires, plastics, and treated or painted lumber, may "poison" the catalyst and render it ineffective.
Until recently, it hasn't been easy for an individual to acquire catalytic converters for a do-it-yourself design. The major catalytic converter manufacturers have found it logistically easy (and profitable) to deal only with stove manufacturers. That way, the stove builders handle warranty arrangements, and the catalyst producers have the discretion of approving stove designs before delivering converters, which assures both safety and good performance.
Now, however, there are two sources of supply open to MOTHER EARTH NEWS-readers who wish to build a retrofit unit like ours. First, Buck Stove has offered to sell pairs of rectangular converters to readers through its dealer network for less than $100. (Naturally, that company has the utmost confidence in the design.) Also, NuTech, Inc., a firm which the research team dealt with extensively during development and which makes a retrofit package of its own, has a similar offer. Check your yellow pages for Buck Stove Energy Centers.
When you stop and add up the time and money you expend cutting wood and cleaning your chimney, we're pretty sure that — no matter who you are — you'll find a do-it-yourself catalyst conversion will pay you back for its cost in two years or less. (After all, the going rate for chimney sweeping alone is $40 or more.) And if you don't feel up to building your own package (although the actual metalworking skills involved really aren't all that difficult), you might think about buying a retrofit unit or even a complete stove. With the dollar benefits to base your decision on, you can take satisfaction in knowing that you're helping to keep our air clean.
I was wondering if anyone has ever put a catalytic combuster under the hot plate on a rayburn... this is not in the direct burn box, but where the smoke goes over the top of the oven and up the flue. There is any area where you could slide a 2 inch by 6 inch catalytic combuster in the path where the smoke goes and burn it.. Any thoughts?

Among the best gamepads in the present generation of consoles is Sony's PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 control. The good news: Owners of a DS4 controller may use it for almost all gamepad-ready Windows games. The bad: Unlike Microsoft's Xbox One gamepads, preparing the PS4 controller onto a PC takes a bit more effort, at least in regards to wireless usage. But don't worry, we'll show you how you can play your favorite games using all the PlayStation controller. Incidentally, this works with both the old DualShock 4 controller and the revised version released in 2016 with the PlayStation 4 Guru.
Probably the simplest choice to use the DualShock 4 control on the PC is the use of a conventional USB cable. Not only can the DualShock 4 control be charged via the micro USB port, but it can also be connected to the PC like any other USB device. Windows 10 recognizes the gamepad in a few seconds and you can use it. Especially in newer games or at the Big-Picture port of Steam, now you can utilize the PS4 controller instantly. However, oftentimes, you need an extra setup using a tool like DS4Windows - more about this below.
Whether through cable or Bluetooth: You will discover that the usage of the PS4 controller on the PC in many games is not possible or just faulty. The rationale: Microsoft uses the Xinput port on Windows to connect game controllers. Most games, therefore, call for a Xinput-compatible Gamecotnroller, such as the Xbox One or Xbox 360 gamepads. Sony officially does not encourage Xinput, which is why the PS4 controller is not recognized by games like FIFA 19. That does not matter! Several apps jump into the breach. Probably the best is that the free program DS4Windows, The open source application trickles Windows into believing that the connected PS4 controller is an Xbox gamepad. This works with both the wired and the Bluetooth version. In practice, this usually means that you can control almost all controller-compatible Windows games using the DualShock 4 control.

The work on the Hunter Station Bridge replacement has reached the point of traffic changes.
On Wednesday, PennDOT issued a release urging motorists to be aware of new traffic patterns.
"Traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by temporary signals in the project area on Route 62 between the Venango/Forest County line and Hunter Station Road in Tionesta Township," PennDOT's Jim Carroll said Wednesday.
Work on the project began in September and is expected to be completed by the end of March.

DMOPC '15 Contest 3 P3 - Dimethylbenzene
Xyene
Brute Force, Graph Theory
Xyene really likes the organic compound xylene, also known as dimethylbenzene. He has received an organic molecule as a present, and would like to know if there exists a dimethylbenzene somewhere in it.
However, organic chemistry is a struggle for Xyene, so he'll settle for knowing whether or not his molecule contains six carbons atoms arranged in a ring, or cycle. There may be multiple cycles in Xyene's present, but he's only interested in finding out if there is at least one that is six atoms long.
Xyene has numbered the carbon atoms in his present from ~1 \dots N~, and has given you ~M~ distinct pairs of the form ~(u, v)~, representing a bond between atoms ~u~ and ~v~.
Does his present contain at least one cycle of length six?
The first line of input will contain two space-separated integers ~N~ ~(2 \le N \le 20)~ and ~M~ ~(1 \le M \le 20)~.
The next ~M~ lines will contain two integers ~u~ and ~v~, defining a ~u \longleftrightarrow v~ bond.
YES if the given molecule contains a cycle that is six carbon atoms long, NO otherwise.
Explanation for Sample 1
This is a ring of six carbons: ~1 \longleftrightarrow 2 \longleftrightarrow 3 \longleftrightarrow 4 \longleftrightarrow 5 \longleftrightarrow 6 \longleftrightarrow 1~.
Though this may be a cycle, it is only of length three.
Explanation of Sample 3
This is not a cycle!

Haxxx0r commented on Dec. 31, 2015, 11:48 p.m.
I noticed that the ladderane structure is possible, but I'm confused on whether a ladderane contains a 'simple cycle' of length 6.
Example Case:
What is the proper answer? Do the AC submissions disagree over this?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which used to be a leading agency in the fight against climate change, is considering dropping the word "climate" from its mission statement.
The announcement is in keeping with the current administration's agenda of systematic climate change denial and the suppression of information relating to human-induced climate change.
This news also comes just as a federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by the California cities of Oakland and San Francisco in which the cities were suing to force companies such as BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell to foot the costs of combating climate change, like building projects to protect coastlines from rising sea-levels.
And continuing to add to both our climate and corruption woes is Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Scott Pruitt, whose recently released internal emails show that he and his staff discussed hiring a friend of the very same lobbyist whose wife rented a D.C. condo to Pruitt at just $50 a night.
This latest revelation underscores just how important the Freedom of Information Act is, since that's the only vehicle that has allowed organizations like the Sierra Club, which filed this specific lawsuit, to gain the legal footing to demand answers and accountability from the EPA and its corrupt leader.
The emails also show that Pruitt reached out to the American Petroleum Institute to let them know that he was looking to fill regional director positions, adding to the mounting evidence that Pruitt has strategically recruited members of the fossil fuel industry to discredit and dismantle the EPA from within.
As we reach the end of June it is likely that we will get yet another report telling us that we have yet another hottest month on record.
There's really no other way to say it: we are running out of time.

Voice for the Reduction of Poverty gains support from Mayoral and At-Large candidates |Opinion
Voice for the Reduction of Poverty proposed a Community Covenant to Candidates of this year's mayoral and at large elections. Those who responded will give their support to VRP's cause
Seven members of Voice for the Reduction of Poverty
Avi Poster, Charles Strobel, Ken Chilton, Eddie Latimer, Kay Bowers, Irwin Venick, and Maura-Lee Albert on behalf of the Voice for the Reduction of Poverty Steering Committee and membership
A Voice for the Reduction of Poverty is pleased to announce that an overwhelming majority of Mayoral and At-Large Council candidates, and many running for District Council seats, have pledged to support a series of both overarching principles and specific policy recommendations that aim to ensure that all Nashvillians can benefit from our city's extraordinary economic growth.
Nashville's growth is leaving many of its residents behind, and far too many low-income families are unable to continue to afford living in our city.
To address this growing economic disparity, A Voice for the Reduction of Poverty — a broad and diverse non-partisan coalition of Nashville community members, clergy, civic and business leaders, and advocates — believes that Nashville should devote at least as much time, effort, and resources to helping the lower economic segment of our populace succeed as we do for the upper segment.
There was strong agreement among the nearly 300 Nashvillians – including many running for public office – who attended our recent community forum: Nashville Rising: Work, Wages, and the Future of Nashville, and those that participated in facilitated follow-up conversations, that our city is lacking a clear vision of its core values, especially when it comes to addressing the needs of all Nashvillians.
What surfaced was the need for a mission statement – a "Community Covenant" (see inset box) – that can serve as a blueprint for our actions as a city and would clearly express what Nashville expects of those who want to live in and do business in our city. This covenant is still a work in progress, but we believe it is an important first step towards making our city more equitable. It seeks to strike a balance between Nashville's growth and the quality of life of all its residents.
A comunity covenant for Nashville
WE BELIEVE IN:
Equitable Growth that gives all Nashvillians the opportunity to participate in and benefit from Nashville's growing economy.
We recommend the Mayor's office, Metro Council, and Metro agencies implement an Equity Lens (a policy tool for guiding the equitable distribution of resources) when making public investments, allocating resources, choosing service vendors and contractors, and drafting budgets.
Diversity and Equity that is reflected in all Metro agencies, nonprofits, and businesses.
We recommend employers partner with local nonprofits, colleges and universities, and technical colleges to identify, recruit, and hire candidates from diverse ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Living Wages and Family-Friendly Benefits (including healthcare, family leave, and childcare) that support and advance upward economic mobility, financial independence, and family stability.
We recommend any entity that does business in Metropolitan Nashville or with Metro agencies, especially those that receive public subsidies, should agree to pay living wages, provide quality affordable healthcare, and offer family-friendly benefits.
Access to affordable housing that promotes stability, community development, and prevents displacement.
We recommend Metro government establish robust dedicated funding for the Barnes Housing Trust fund, along with the creation of a comprehensive plan developed with community input that will address our affordable housing crisis.
Public transportation that connects home to work, and neighborhood-to-neighborhood. Therefore:
We recommend Metro government employ a community-driven planning approach to develop and implement a plan to address Nashville's transportation crisis.
Workforce development that connects unemployed and underemployed residents to meaningful job opportunities.
We recommend Metro government partner with Nashville's community colleges, businesses, registered apprenticeship programs, and non-profits to connect job seekers with employers and to equip job seekers with the necessary workplace skills to succeed.
We believe that a communal ethos is needed in order to drive and define public policy that is centered on the principles in this covenant. To this end:
The principles of this covenant to be contained in the form of a non-binding resolution adopted by the Mayor's Office and Metro Council.
We recommend Metro Government, Metro Public Schools, Metro Transit, and Metro Emergency Management Services set a standard for others to follow by adopting and implementing this covenant.
We recommend that in order to implement this covenant the Mayor, together with other Tennessee mayors, advocate for giving local governments the freedom to make decisions on behalf of their constituents.
Support from the Candidates
On July 1, 2019, A Voice for the Reduction of Poverty sent the proposed "Community Covenant" and a short survey to all 112 candidates running for Metro office. We received 59 responses and are pleased to report that the following 50 candidates (in alphabetical order) have agreed, if elected, to sponsor or support the proposed "Community Covenant" and its recommendations in the form of a non-binding resolution to the Metro Council. We look forward to working with them to help make this a reality after the election.
Candidates for Mayor:
David Briley, John Ray Clemmons, John Cooper, Julia Clark-Johnson, Jimmy Lawrence, Jon Sewell
Candidate for Vice-Mayor:
Jim Shulman
Candidates for Council-At-Large:
Burkley Allen, Fabian Bedne, Rueben Dockery, Sharon Hurt, Howard Jones, Gicola Lane, Bob Mendes, Gary Moore, Zulfat Suara
Candidates for District Races:
Art Allen, Emily Benedict, Denise Bentley, Terry Jo Bichell, Julia Clark-Johnson, Melissa Covington, Stephen Downs, Erin Evans, Dan Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Gamble, Jacob Green, John Green, Tori Goddard, Gloria Hausser, Lydia Hubbell, Elise Hudson, Mina Johnson, Courtney Johnston, Sherry Jones, Edward Kindall, Paul King, Jimmy Lawrence, Rudolph Mamula, Cheryl Mayes, Pam Murray, Robert Nash, David McMurry, Sean Parker, Mamula Rudolph, Colby Sledge, Constance Smith-Burwell, Joy Styles, Jeff Syracuse, Kyonzte Toombs, Nancy VanReece, Ginny Welsch
We hope that our "Community Covenant" can start a conversation about what we want Nashville's future to look like, and how we can make sure that that future benefits all Nashvillians.

A twice-divorced Wall Street broker who once claimed to be able to commune with the dead, Victoria Woodhull also made history by being the first woman to appear on a U.S. presidential ballot. And she did it all the way back in 1872.
Victoria Woodhull was born Victoria California Claflin in rural Ohio in 1838. Her father, described as "a one-eyed snake oil salesman," sold magical-sounding (if often useless) elixirs that became popular in the mid-1800s, claiming they could cure anything from asthma to cancer.
When Woodhull was still a child, her father put her to work along with her sister, Tennessee, as a medium and fortune-teller. The sisters hit the fortune-telling jackpot in 1868 when they became employed as clairvoyants by railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was supposedly not only impressed by their skills, but also in love with Tennessee.
With Vanderbilt's backing, the two sisters went from being traveling fortune-tellers to Wall Street stockbrokers, opening Woodhull, Claflin & Co. in 1870, the first brokerage firm headed by women. The New York Sun announced the firm's opening with the headline "Petticoats Among the Bovine and Ursine Animals" and the sisters did quite well by taking advantage of a hitherto "untapped source of investment capital," namely women.
Widows, teachers, actresses, and even prostitutes and madams came to the firm (which featured a "women-only" backroom for private discussions) with their savings and the sisters were then able to not only afford an expensive Manhattan apartment, but also bankroll their political aspirations.
Victoria Woodhull had first become interested in the idea of women's rights when married to her second husband (although she kept the name of her first husband, Canning Woodhull, for the rest of her life, she had divorced him in the 1850s). Husband number two, Colonel James Blood, was a Civil War veteran and self-described "free lover" who encouraged Woodhull's interest in women's rights after they wed in 1866.
For Woodhull, "free love" was more about women's "rights to marry, divorce, and bear children without government interference," rather than the ideas espoused by the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s that have since become associated with the term.
Beyond such ideas, Woodhull took another bold stance when she became the first woman to testify before a Congressional committee upon her appearance in support of women's suffrage with the House Judiciary Committee in 1871. Not only did she appear before the committee, she argued that the recently-passed 14th and 15th amendments also granted women the rights to vote (which, sadly, wouldn't become a reality for some five decades).
Although she would not be able to actually vote for herself, in 1870 Woodhull declared she was going to run for president. Her campaign was financed by the money that she and her sister had made on Wall Street and she was nominated for president by the Equal Rights Party (which she had helped organize) in 1872.
Woodhull would be running against the incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant. For her running mate, she chose famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass, which would have made quite a statement, had he ever actually acknowledged his selection (he actually campaigned for Grant).
A cartoon portraying Victoria Woodhull as "Mrs. Satan" and ridiculing her "free love" platform.
Victoria Woodhull thus became the first woman to appear on a presidential ballot. However, due to the fact that her name was removed from many ballots because the Equal Rights Party Candidate was actually in jail on Election Day (on charges of libel that were later dismissed), it is unknown how many popular votes America's first female presidential candidate actually received. Furthermore, some have argued the legitimacy of her candidacy in the first place, given that she was 34 at the time, one year below the Constitutionally-mandated age threshold.
Partly due to the mounting pressure against her, Woodhull divorced Colonel Blood in 1876, shortly before moving to London, where she met her third and final husband, John Biddulph Martin.
Ultimately, Victoria Woodhull died in England in 1927, seven years after the 19th Amendment granted women in the United States the right to vote, but nearly a century before the first serious female contender for the nation's highest office appeared on a ballot.

DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY UNTIL FAN IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED.
CAUTION: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICING, ENSURE THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY.
MATERIALS AND VAPORS OR DUST.
NEVER EXPOSE THIS FAN TO TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 140°F (60°C).
1. Do not use fan in hazardous environments where the fan electrical system could provide ignition to combustible or flammable materials.
2. Do not use fan to exhaust explosive or corrosive gases.
3. Check voltage at the fan to insure it corresponds with product nameplate.
4. Normal operation of this device may affect the supply of fresh air needed for safe operation of fuel burning equipment. Follow safety standards, codes, and heating equipment manufacturer's procedures guide lines.
5. There are no user serviceable parts located inside the fan unit. Do NOT attempt to open (this will void manufacturer's warranty). Return unit to the factory with original purchase receipt for service after obtaining a Return Goods Authorization (RGA).
6. All wiring must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes. When installed outside, power must be supplied from a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
7. Operate unit only in the manner intended. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
8. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.
9. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
10. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations where the impeller is readily accessible to people or animals.
The fan can be mounted indoors or outdoors. (It is suggested that EPA recommendations be followed in choosing the fan location.) The fan may be mounted directly to the system piping or fastened to a supporting structure by means of mounting brackets provided.
Mount the fan vertically with the outlet up. Insure the unit is plumb and level. When mounting directly to the system piping ensure that the fan does not contact any building surface to avoid vibration noise. Use the flexible couplers provided to secure the fan to the piping.
The fan may be further secured with the mounting brackets provided.
The flexible couplings will provide means of disconnect for cleaning the impeller and also to isolate vibration.
The fans operate on standard 120VAC 60Hz. All wiring must be performed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and state and local building codes. A qualified electrician should perform all electrical work. Outdoor installations require the use of UL Listed watertight conduit and power supplied from a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
Connect wiring with terminal block provided, observing proper connections.
Condensation can form in the piping of a mitigation system when the air in the piping is chilled below its dew point. This can occur at points where the system piping goes through unheated space such as an attic, garage or outside. The system design must provide a means for water to drain back to a slab hole to remove the condensation. The fan MUST be mounted vertically plumb and level, with the outlet pointing up for proper drainage through the fan. Avoid mounting the fans in any orientation that will allow water to accumulate inside the fan housing. The fans are NOT suitable for underground burial.
A condensate bypass should be installed in the outlet ducting as shown below. This is particularly true in cold climate installations, which require long lengths of outlet ducting or when the outlet ducting is likely to produce large amounts of condensation because of high soil moisture or outlet duct material. Schedule 20 piping and other thin-walled plastic ducting or aluminum downspout piping will normally produce much more condensation than Schedule 40 piping.
The condensation produced in the outlet stack is collected in the Wye fitting and drained through the bypass tube. The bypass tubing may be insulated to prevent freezing.
Failure to install a proper condensate collection system voids the product warranty.
Install a "system on" indicator to confirm status. A pressure indicator, manometer, or vacuum alarm is recommended for this purpose. The Suncourt Air Pressure Indicator is included with models RDK04 and RDK04-3.
The Suncourt® Radon Fan provides coverage up to 2000 sq. ft. per slab penetration depending on type of sub slab material. If one slab penetration does not sufficiently mitigate the Radon then additional slab penetration points can be added as required.
Subject to the following limitations, Suncourt® Inc. (manufacturer) warrants that the fan will, for 5 (five) years from date of original purchase, remain free from appearance of defects in workmanship or materials. This warranty is subject to the following limitations: (a) manufacturer's liability is limited to the replacement or repair of the unit, as decided by the manufacturer; (b) a defective unit must be returned, prepaid, with proof of purchase, to Suncourt; and (c) this warranty does not apply to defects resulting from the alteration, abuse, accidental damage, unauthorized repair, or misuse of the unit. This warranty is given in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, and conditions on manufacturer's part, and the manufacturer shall have no tortious or other liability in respect to this fan. There is no implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Suncourt shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising from, or relating to, the fan or the performance of it. Suncourt's maximum liability shall not exceed the amount of the purchase price of the fan. The sole remedy under this warranty shall be the repair or replacement of the product.
Call Suncourt at 1.800.999.3267 for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number. Please have date of original purchase available.
Mark the RGA number clearly on the return shipping box. We do not accept returns without a valid RGA number.
Package the unit using the original packaging including the styrofoam inserts to avoid damage in shipping.
Install the Air Pressure Indicator on any clean and dry vertical section of the suction side of the vent pipe in an indoor location where the Air Pressure Indicator can be easily read.
1. Using the adhesive tape on the back, mount to the vent pipe, keeping the Air Pressure Indicator vertical so that the fluid does not run out.
2. Remove the sealing caps from the tube and allow the liquid to settle. You may need to tap the Air Pressure Indicator lightly with your finger to settle the liquid.
3. Slide the tube up-down until the liquid level is at the Zero level in both columns. Use screw provided to hold tube in place. Screw goes into the hole above the numbered section. (See photo #1) This is how the indicator will look if the fan is not operating.
4. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill a hole in the vent pipe 1" to 2" below the top of the Air Pressure Indicator.
5. Connect one end of the tubing to the top of either opening of the Air Pressure Indicator and insert the other end into the 3/16" hole. Use a little silicon sealant to make sure the hose connections are airtight.
6. Complete the information on the installation label and apply to the vent pipe near the installation.
7. See photo #2 to see how the liquid should appear when the fan is running. The liquid will be higher on the side the 3/16" tubing was inserted into. The markings are not calibrated. You may get a different reading than what is pictured.
Please Note: Do not ingest the liquid. Contact with your eyes or skin may cause irritation. Liquid will stain if spilled.

VTR North reveals new creative for Bonprix TV & Social campaign.
After a decade as production partner with Bonprix we have developed an in-depth understanding of the brand's prime focus.
The Bonprix brief was clear: keep it simple and let the clothes do the talking. The Autumn Winter season is all about versatility and we wanted to showcase what that brings: wrapping up against the elements on those crisp days, and evenings out in the latest partywear. Product focussed and aspirational, this campaign seeks to expand the Bonprix demographic with subtle product additions, that may have previously been considered too 'edgy', whilst being mindful of the loyal customer base, key on-screen messages as well as Bonpix's familiar 'it's me' tagline.
Only released this weekend, we have no results to share yet.

Equatorial Guinea Coffee Beans
Everything You Wanted To Know About Equatorial Guinea Coffee
The once-thriving coffee industry in Equatorial Guinea was devastated by economic mismanagement during years of authoritarian rule, as was the country's cocoa industry.
Equatorial Guinea Green Coffee
While 7,664 tons of green coffee were produced in Equatorial Guinea in 1969, this declined to less than 200 tons in 1996. The quality of the coffee and cocoa also decreased rapidly with production occurring mainly at a few large and very inefficient plantations.
Green coffee beans exports from Equatorial Guinea have declined considerably over the years. In 1961 8,800 tonnes of coffee were exported while in 2007 only 117 tonnes were exported, and in 2008 it was just 21. It's rare to actually find Equatorial Guinea coffee available on the market.
Equatorial Guinea Demographics
The nation of Equatorial Guinea is a West African country which is just under 11,000 square miles in size which is comparable to the size of the state of Maryland. Located on the West Coast of Africa it borders Gabon and Cameroon. Malabo is the capital city of Equatorial Guinea and is located on the island of Bioko.
The population of Equatorial Guinea in 200 was about 470,000. Economic stagnation has affected the country where most of the population lives in rural areas. In the 1970s and 1980s the country experienced an economic collapse.
The country has a burgeoning oil industry and is sub-Saharan Africa's sixth largest oil producer. Also increasing are timber exports which threaten to severely damage the country's environment.
Tourism in Equatorial Guinea
Tourism is also a potential growing industry as Equatorial Guinea still has many pristine areas, and recently the Mt Alen National Park was established which may also help tourism along with some hotel construction. Equatorial Guinea coffee production may also increase on small plots meant to provide tourists with locally grown coffee beans.

Gabby Douglas? Missy Franklin? Michael Phelps? Forget 'em. We'd argue that some of the biggest stars of the Olympics thus far have been the athletes' parents.
But even before all that wincing and grimacing turned them into America's greatest Olympic heroes, the Raismans, who hail from Needham, Massachusetts have been behind their daughter every step of the way. "It's exciting, it's nerve-racking, anytime you watch your kids doing something you want good things for them," Lynn explained to NESN.com about Aly's long journey to qualify for the Olympics. "We know how long and how hard she's worked, literally everyday for the past 15 years," Rick added in an interview with The Today Show. And in response to their viral fame (the video was picked up by Gawker, The Daily Beast, and Buzzfeed): "I'm a little horrified right now," Rick said after watching the video during an interview with USA Today. And of course, their New England accents make them even more adorable.
When the 19-year-old Orozco made the Olympic team, he was also the youngest member. "I just cry when I hear things like that because I remember the little boy who said 'I want to do this,'" Damaris Orozco told the New York Daily News when John was selected. Orozco didn't come home with a medal, but in four years we might be seeing John compete in Rio again as his coach believes he'll be at his peak by then. And that means more Damaris not watching!
Runners up: Rita Wieber (mother of Jordyn, the reigning world champion who just missed the Olympics' All Around competition); Paula Deen doppelgänger and mother of the human merman, Debbie Phelps; Karen Seebohm (daughter Emily came in a heart-breaking second in the 100m backstroke).
The Story: Gymnastics, in America, is a rich person's sport. And for Hawkins and Douglas, sending Gabby across the country to train with coach Liang Chow wasn't easy emotionally or financially. The Associated Press reported Hawkins sold her own jewelry to make it happen. And earlier this year, The AP adds, Hawkins filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. "It's my story, it's part of me. I'm not even embarrassed about it," Hawkins was quoted as saying. "It shows that even though I didn't like to have to do it, I'm glad there was something there for me to be able to protect my home." The happy ending? Her daughter went on to win gymnastics's most coveted title, and could reap millions of dollars in endorsements.
The Story: This was supposed to be a torch-passing year/ the year we were all supposed to fall in love with Jason Segel's sexier twin Ryan Lochte. Unfortunately for Ike, she's had to, in an embarrassing fashion, defend her son against charges of being a fratty jerk by denying that he was a one-night-stand type of guy. And now there are reports that while her son was sporting a $25,000 diamond-encrusted grill for his endorsement-winning smile, the family home in Florida was facing foreclosure. Ugh. As for Lochte, there was speculation that he would be better (win more golds) than Phelps these games, but that didn't happen either.


One thing I thought was great was the way the book is structured. I mean, it starts with the line "I discovered it on the morning of the funeral," with a panel focused on a box of old cassette tapes, CDs, and magazines. The narrative then is all told in flashback, so you have this specter of death floating around somewhere, giving all of the petty moments that high school is made of a bit more of an ominous tone.
There were a few times in Mixtape where I felt like I had fallen into outtakes from a John Hughes film, but overall I liked where this seems to be going.
Jason: Yeah, I liked where this book seems to be going, too. You're totally right about the guy looking back on his school years: that specter of death seems to haunt the book so much, but more than that for me, it also helped excuse and contextualize the John Hughes feel of the comic. Of course everything seems a bit melodramatic! Not only was high school completely full of melodrama on every level -- and yeah, I had a lot of those same experiences as you -- but it makes sense to look back on high school as one kind of John Hughes film, full of funny experiences and the chance to feel really free (or so it seems, 25 years later).
I think we agree: this is a really nicely written indie comic.
I also thought the art was pretty nice and fit the comic well. I liked how the people in the comic were well composed but the buildings seemed just a bit shaky -- again like something you might remember dimly from the past. I also really liked how the kids in the comic really looked "of a type", like friends I used to love to hang with, but who now I only see occasionally on Facebook.
Overall, a pretty nice comic that hit right in the part of me that still remembers high school.
Daniel: Right, except now that I'm in my forties, the part of me that still remembers high school seems to be sore more often than not.
I'm interested to see how the rest of this series pans out, how the characters develop, and what songs will be playing next in the background. I think that Abraham is writing from his own experiences, as there seems to be a great deal of heart in this story, and I think that, above anything else, will make this comic something that people can connect with.
That, and the great music.
Now I'm going to call my mom. I think I left an old box of mixtapes I made back in high school in her attic.


Working through the conference season we've just published a new version of the Office 365 CLI. Once again, we've had no breaking changes so while just a minor SemVer update, we have some cool new commands and improvements. See for yourself.
Office 365 Groups bring together a number of Office 365 capabilities to facilitate team collaboration and communication. Many organizations, who have been using Office 365 for some time now, already have an existing intranet based on SharePoint sites and the classic SharePoint experience. To help these organizations benefit from Office 365 Groups, without having to migrate their collaboration sites, Microsoft introduced the ability to create a new Office 365 Group for the existing site, process often referred to as 'groupify'. At this moment, groupifying sites is possible only using the SharePoint APIs, but soon this capability will be also available in the SharePoint UI.
While groupifying a site, there are a number of other arguments that you can specify like the classification of the site or whether the existing site welcome page should be retained or not.
For more information about groupifying sites using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
When using the Office 365 CLI in his Continuous Integration/Deployment (CI/CD) setup for SharePoint Framework projects, fellow-MVP and a good friend Elio Struyf noticed that it's inconvenient to add the solution package to the app catalog and deploy it in a single script. He proposed simplifying the process by extending the existing CLI commands.
For more information about deploying SharePoint solution packages using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
Azure Active Directory offers administrators a number of advanced settings to manage their tenants. These settings are exposed through group settings and group settings templates and allow administrators to define the information classification in their tenant, control guess access or naming policies to name a few. Using the Office 365 CLI, you can explore group setting templates and manage group settings in your tenant.
Once in a while you might need to copy files stored in SharePoint from one location to another. If it's just a few files, doing it manually might be an option. But with tens or hundreds of files, the job would quickly become tedious. To help you script copying files in your Office 365 tenant, Velin Georgiev implemented support for copying files using the Office 365 CLI.
Using the spo file copy command you can copy files between the folders, document libraries or sites.
For more information about copying files using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
Many organizations and users organize their documents in folders. When the information architecture changes, it might be necessary to adjust the folder structure accordingly. To manage folders using the Office 365 CLI, Velin Georgiev implemented a set of commands that support everything from listing folders in a specific document library to renaming or copying folders.
For more information about managing folders using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
To help organizations control the look and feel of modern sites, Microsoft released the support for modern themes. If your organization has an existing intranet built on top of Office 365, the chances are, that it existed before the modern themes were made available. As a result, you might have a number of sites, to which you might need to apply a modern theme. For these release, Paweł Hawrylak implemented a command to apply a theme to an existing site.
This command is invaluable if you have a number of sites and would like to update their theme in bulk.
A false response indicates, that users can use both custom and standard SharePoint themes.
For more information about managing modern themes' settings using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
The command is pretty flexible, allowing you to send both plain-text and HTML e-mails and either specify the e-mail contents inline or load them from the specified file.
For more information about sending e-mails using the Office 365 CLI, see the documentation at aka.ms/o365-cli.
Regularly, we're releasing new versions of the Office 365 CLI. Each new version contains new commands and improvements giving you more power and flexibility. To help you stay up-to-date with the new releases, Paweł Hawrylak implemented a notification that lets you know when a new version of the Office 365 CLI is available.
This release wouldn't be possible without the help of (in alphabetical order) Velin Georgiev, Paweł Hawrylak and Elio Struyf.
Another area, that we've been researching recently, is the ability for the Office 365 CLI to manage your SharePoint Framework projects. SharePoint Framework is a popular development model backed by a vibrant community and there are some great opportunities for the CLI to improve how you build solutions. We had some delay but are still going forward with the research and hope to have something to show you relatively fast, so stay tuned for updates.


Sarikol Tajik has been reported to be an unusual language, containing up to twelve diphthongs and being the only language in the Gorno-Badakhshan family to not contain a short and long vowel distinction among monophthongs. However, the basis of such claims is not clear and could be accounted for by any of several factors. For example, different researchers have utilized different definitions of diphthongs, some researchers have (perhaps unknowingly) studied different dialects at different times, while others simply failed to account for the variation that is often found in languages in change. This dissertation reevaluates these claims and the potential reasons behind such claims by examining field recordings from Sarikoli speakers in three locations, utilizing prototype theory, time analysis, and the nature of diphthongs. Spectrographic analysis reveals that, contrary to previous reports, Sarikoli contains both long and short vowels and three diphthongs. After examining the definition of a diphthong, this dissertation takes the approach that diphthongs can be more or less prototypical instantiations, showing that some Sarikoli long monophthongs are very diphthong like, particularly in their release pattern. Spectrographic and statistical analysis also revealed dialectal differences in the instantiations of the diphthongs across dialects, with the eastern most dialect (Burungsali) containing lower, more central vowels than the eastern most dialect (Tashkorgani). After examining the data, a prediction is made about the developmental pattern among the Pamiri mountain languages and the three dialects of Sarikoli. Implicational scales show that the Burungsal dialect of Sarikoli is the most advanced in a process of diphthongization of long monophthongs. This change is traced historically in relation to Avestan and across four current Pamiri mountain languages. All things being equal, it is predicted that all of these languages will continue in a pattern of developing diphthongs from long monophthongs.
