Government to alter water plan
By admin | Published 30/05/2019
This decision came after more states on Friday joined Victoria in expressing concern about the proposal.
Victoria remained steadfast in its rejection of the plan after a meeting of water ministers from basin states and the federal government in Adelaide today.
South Australia and Queensland, while remaining supportive of the federal plan, have voiced concern at aspects to rejuvenate the ailing basin.
Federal Water Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Canberra was willing to tinker with the plan's legislation.
"We are seeking input and we are making changes to the legislation all the time," Mr Turnbull said.
"We recognise that we are not the sole repository of wisdom on water, nobody is.
"We all benefit from input from others and we are seeking that input, receiving it, and where there is a consensus that it can make an improvement, we are applying it."
Mr Turnbull did not specify what changes would be made, ahead of further discussions between the Commonwealth and Victoria next week.
"We are seeking wherever we can to ensure that we can find a middle ground," he said.
Victorian Water Minister John Thwaites reaffirmed his state wouldn't accept the plan in its current format.
"Victoria is prepared to talk and negotiate with the Commonwealth to ensure that we protect the basin," Mr Thwaites said.
"What Victoria is not prepared to accept is total constitutional hand over of all powers.
"The powers in this legislation are much more extensive than certainly Victoria is prepared to accept."
South Australia Water Security Minister Karlene Maywald said her state had concerns about some details of the legislation.
"We are still 100 per cent committed to the national plan," Ms Maywald said.
"There are concerns about some of the detail in the legislation that need to be worked through, we are working through that.
"I don't think anyone is being unreasonable. Victoria has some concerns that they would like resolved, they are working with the Commonwealth on that, we have got some issues with some of the detail and we are working with the commonwealth on that.
"There is a lot of detail and it's too complex to go into."
Queensland Natural Resources and Water Minister Craig Wallace said the Commonwealth must alter the legislation for it to win approval from the states.
"We know that there has got to be some movement from the Commonwealth in terms of getting the agreement up," Mr Wallace said.
"The states have joined as one in saying to the commonwealth that we want to work with them.
"We need to have some forward movement from the Commonwealth though.
"We don't want to walk away from the deal, we don't want the Commonwealth to walk away from the deal, but we need some movement there from the Commonwealth themselves."
New South Wales Water Minister Phil Koperberg was unavailable for comment.

Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili, Wilfred flower, 2013, digital C-print, 11 3/4 x 9 3/4".
Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili
Galerie Micky Schubert
As its title suggests, the photographs in "German Flowers," the first solo show in Germany by Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili, consist almost entirely of floral motifs. At first glance, erratic and irreducible differences separate her works—as pictures, they are, one to the next, very distinct. Yet the transitions between them are fluid. The Georgian-born artist's approach to her subject attests to a keen visual sensibility and love of experimentation; in each picture, she builds her central motif from the ground up, exploring it in all its fragility and richness. The works are diverse not only in terms of technique (the artist uses both digital and analog processes, sometimes mixing the two) but also in composition. Yet amid the overall impression of heterogeneity, one noticed—gradually and with a tentativeness that is beautiful, even poetic in itself—the undeniable family resemblances among the pictures. With great precision, Alexi-Meskhishvili constructs a sensory quality that is highly lyrical but almost impossible to pin down.
The works on display formed an open group whose overarching title raised the question of what might be so specifically German about these flora. Almost all the pictures were taken in Berlin, but the title is presumably meant to indicate an outsider's viewpoint. In conversation, Alexi-Meskhishvili, who has lived in Berlin for six years and recently set up a second base in New York, recalls preparing the exhibition: "I found myself chasing a certain German aesthetic which I thought existed but kept eluding me." This pursuit of an inherently intangible "Germanness" is in keeping with the artist's visually contemplative way of working: Her photographs may evoke the atmosphere of a place, but they do not illustrate it or even require the viewer to posses any particular knowledge of it to comprehend them. On the contrary, they tend to transform such specificity, to preserve it only by suspending it in poetic abstraction.
A pink plastic plant, for example, appears in Isa flower (all works 2013). The motif is derived from a sculpture by German artist Isa Genzken, which Alexi-Meskhishvili had photographed a decade earlier. Wilfred flower shows a book with a painting of a lily that the artist found years ago at a thrift shop in Berlin; what might be the previous owner's name, Wilfred, was inscribed in it. Over the colorfully speckled gray of a Berlin street, the strangely blue-shifted cover enters into an ephemeral bond with a crumpled something in black, red, and yellow—blossoming, as though by chance, in the colors of the German flag—and a shadow that takes up half the picture. It is unclear whether it is the photographer herself casting the shadow; in any case, a real moment has become an abstract composition.
To create pictures such as Isa flower and Dark palm, Alexi-Meskhishvili uses a different technique, taking an analog negative and altering it manually, with a knife, before scanning it and reworking it digitally. She also sometimes scans found photographs and integrates them into her works or, as in the aptly titled Negative, makes the negative itself the subject of the photograph. A small black-and-white self-portrait stood out amid all the colorful floral forms: It shows the artist in the studio where many of the pictures on display were made. Its title, hmmmmm, may suggest a musing contemplation with an admixture of irony: Alexi-Meskhishvili viewing her own art with a loving squint.

Letter to W. L. Weller from J. T. Thompson, July 27th, 1894.
Susie Hendren writes to the Home saying that she is looking for a home for one of her three children. She states that the child will be four years old. Letter marked Glencoe, KY. In a letter from 27 July 1894, J. T. Thompson writes on behalf of Miss Mary Stockhouse of Popler Grove, who "wants one of the little girls sent to the Home yesterday by Mrs. Susie Hendren." She wants "the one next to the oldest- I think her name is Lilly" about 7 years old. Thompson goes on to say that Mr. Thomas Brock "wants the oldest girl." He asks for the blanks and to take the girls as soon as possible. Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY. In a letter from 1 August 1894, Thompson writes again to explain Stockhouse and Brock. He says that Stockhouse is a widow with no children who wants a girl for company and an apprentice. She lives within 400 yards of a school, and she and her husband raised Thompson from 6 weeks old. He says he doesn't know as much about Brock, but that he will show him the letter and get more information. Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY. In a letter from 6 August 1894, Thompson writes that Brock will not take the girl as she is "younger than he wants." He asks to "please send bond for Mrs Mary Stockhouse by return mail as she needs the little girl for company soon as she can get her." Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY. In a letter from 11 August 1894, Thompson writes to send $100 to the Home to "pay fare of girl to Glencoe." Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY. In another letter from 16 August 1894, Thompson writes to say that the girl arrived safely in Glencoe and says that both parties seem pleased. He says he will "endeavor to get a home for her sister I [he] can." Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY. In a letter from 8 Oct 1894, Thompson writes that he has found a home for the sister of Mary Robertson with Mr. M. T. Coates and wife. They would like to apprentice her and will send her to school. He says he will also look for a home for the little brother if they send him his age. Letter marked Eagle Hill, KY.

Das Kurpfälzische Museum Heidelberg (früher: Kurpfälzisches Museum der Stadt Heidelberg) beherbergt die kunst- und kulturhistorischen Sammlungen der Stadt Heidelberg.

Geschichte
Den Grundstock seiner Sammlung bildete 1878/79 der Ankauf der Graimberg'schen "Alterthümerhalle" durch die Stadt Heidelberg. Das Museum wurde 1908 unter der Bezeichnung Städtische Kunst- und Alterthümersammlung eröffnet. Es ist im Palais Morass, dem 1936 die ehemalige Universitätsfechthalle und in den 1980er Jahren ein Neubau angegliedert wurden, mit direktem Zugang von der Hauptstraße (Fußgängerzone) untergebracht.

 Direktoren
 1912–1934: Karl Lohmeyer
 1948–1964: Georg Poensgen
 1964–1978: Klaus Mugdan
 1978–1996: Jörn Bahns
 1998–2001: Thomas Werner
 seit 2002: Frieder Hepp

Bestände

Archäologie
Die archäologische Abteilung präsentiert in sieben Räumen auf 1500 m² Fläche Archäologie und Geschichte des Unteren Neckarlandes. Der Rundgang durch die Epochen beginnt im Untergeschoss, wo der Besucher als erstes auf das Thema "Methoden der Archäologie" stößt. Darauf folgt bereits einer der Höhepunkte: eine Kopie des Unterkiefers von Mauer, des Typusexemplars von Homo heidelbergensis. Ein lebensgroßes Diorama zeigt den Alltag einer Familie aus der Jungsteinzeit. Auf die Sektion der Bronzezeit und Kelten folgt die Römerzeit, die den weitaus größten Raum einnimmt. Die vielen Heidelberger Bodenfunde ermöglichen Lebensbilder von Alltag und Erwerbsgrundlage der Menschen im 1./2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Eine lebensgroße Rekonstruktion des Heidelberger Mithräums gehört zu den Attraktionen des Museums. In der Sektion Mittelalter und Frühe Neuzeit erzählen schlaglichtartig einige wenige Exponate von der Blütezeit Heidelbergs als kurpfälzische Residenz. Der Gang durch die Geschichte endet mit dem Heiligenberg, dessen vieltausendjähriger Geschichte ein eigener Saal gewidmet ist.

Gemälde

Werke vom 15. bis zum 20. Jahrhundert erwarten den Besucher der Gemäldeabteilung. Gemälde begleiten die Besucher nahezu durch das gesamte Museum. In Art einer Ahnengalerie wird mit Porträts im Eingangsbereich die Geschichte der ehemaligen Kurpfalz nachvollziehbar. Unter ihnen sind die lebensgroßen Staatsporträts von Friedrich V. und seiner Gattin Elizabeth Stuart, das Altersbildnis der Liselotte von der Pfalz und das Konterfei des Hofnarren Perkeo besondere Anziehungspunkte. Das 18. Jahrhundert, die Zeit des Kurfürsten Carl Theodor, wird im Palais Morass lebendig, dessen "Stilräume" im zweiten Geschoss zudem mit zeittypischen Bildern des Rokoko, Biedermeier und Empire dekoriert sind.

In der Gemäldegalerie ragen unter der älteren Malerei mit ihren religiösen Sujets Arbeiten Rogier van der Weydens und Lucas Cranachs d. Ä. heraus, während aus der Sammlung Posselt mit ihren vornehmlich holländischen Kabinettbildern des 17. Jahrhunderts vor allem die Stillleben Beachtung verdienen. Die für Heidelberg so bestimmende Kunst der Romantik bildet den Schwerpunkt innerhalb der Sammlung neuerer Malerei. Die erste Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts ist vornehmlich mit italienischen Landschaften eines Georg Augusts Wallis, Carl Rottmann und Ernst Fries präsent, für die zweite Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts stehen Werke von Anselm Feuerbach, Gustav Schönleber und Wilhelm Trübner. Arbeiten von Alexander Kanoldt, Alexej von Jawlensky und Max Beckmann repräsentieren die klassische Moderne.

Graphik
Mit 7.000 Aquarellen und Zeichnungen sowie annähernd 13.000 Druckgraphiken umfasst die Graphische Sammlung lichtempfindliche Blätter aus dem ausgehenden Mittelalter bis zum 20. Jahrhundert, die aus konservatorischen Gründen nur in zeitlich befristeten Sonderausstellungen gezeigt und auf Wunsch nach Voranmeldung vorgelegt werden können. Das 18. Jahrhundert ist mit umfangreichen Arbeiten der Künstler Peter Anton von Verschaffelt und F. A. Leydensdorff vertreten. Wie bei den Gemälden gibt es einen Sammlungsschwerpunkt bei Zeichnungen und Aquarellen der Heidelberger Romantiker, die jeweils mit großen Konvoluten und Skizzenbüchern präsent sind. Zu den Zimelien zählt dabei unter anderem die sogenannte "Café Grèco-Serie" Karl Philipp Fohrs, zarteste Bleistiftporträts der Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts im römischen Café Grèco verkehrenden deutschen Künstlerfreunde. Auch das 20. Jahrhundert ist vornehmlich mit Arbeiten regionaler Künstler vertreten, aber auch mit herausragenden Einzelarbeiten wie Marc Chagalls "Der Blaue Bär".

Unter den druckgraphischen Blättern ragt eine Sammlung von circa 200 historischen Flugblättern heraus, die durch Heidelbergensien – Porträts, Ereignisblätter und topographische Darstellungen zur ehemaligen Kurpfalz – erweitert wird. Einen breiten Raum nehmen Einzelblätter und Serien aus dem 17. bis 19. Jahrhundert zum Thema Schloss und Stadt ein.

1937 wurde in der Nazi-Aktion "Entartete Kunst" vier Bilder aus der Sammlung beschlagnahmt:

 Georg Friedrich Göttler (1899–1973): Tropenlandschaft (Aquarell, 26,9 × 28,1 cm; zerstört)
 Edvard Munch: Die Urne (Lithografie, 46 × 26,5 cm, 1896; 1939 versteigert, Verbleib unbekannt)
 Emil Nolde: Landschaft (Aquarell, 31,8 × 43,5 cm; 1940 über Hildebrand Gurlitt verkauft, Verbleib unbekannt)
 Christian Rohlfs: Herbstfarben (Aquarell, 51,2 × 34,5 cm, 1920; 1940 über Gurlitt verkauft, Verbleib unbekannt)

Kunsthandwerk
Die Abteilung Kunsthandwerk enthält unter anderem umfangreiche Sammlungsbestände in den Bereichen Porzellan, Münzen und Medaillen, Möbel und Glas. Die Bestände der Kunsthandwerkabteilung sind im gesamten Bereich des Palais Morass und seiner Flügelbauten ausgestellt. Die qualitätvollen, gegen 1790 ausgestatteten Gesellschaftsräume verbinden sich mit den Möbeln, Porzellanen (Frankenthaler Porzellan) und Fürstenportraits zu einem Gesamtbild, das die Wohnkultur des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts repräsentiert. Im Obergeschoss verdeutlichen Stilzimmer vom Empire bis zum Historismus das Wohngefühl des 19. Jahrhunderts, unterbrochen von Sammlungsräumen, die Glas, Porzellan und Fayence präsentieren. Besonders reizvoll sind die Gegenüberstellungen von Rokoko und III. Rokoko sowie eine Textilpassage mit den Kostümen einer Heidelberger Familie aus der Zeit von 1750 bis 1930 in der jeweils zeitgenössischen Umgebung. Die bedeutende Sammlung Frankenthaler Porzellans ist durch eine Spezialsammlung von Solitaires und Déjeuners bereichert, wie sie selten in dieser Qualität und Menge zu finden ist. Das Prunkstück der Abteilung ist das über zweihundert Jahre verschollene Straßburger Silberservice (Tafelsilber) der letzten Kurfürstin Elisabeth Augusta (1721–1794), das in der historischen Deckung ausgestellt ist.

Galerie

Skulpturen
Knapp sechshundert Einträge – Werke vom 12. bis 20. Jahrhundert – enthält das Inventar für Skulpturen. Nur die wichtigsten Objekte befinden sich in der Dauerausstellung.
Ausgestellt sind im Bereich der Stadtgeschichte unter anderem die mittelalterlichen Grabsteine aus dem ehemaligen Augustinerkloster, die frühbarocken Skulpturen von Heidelberger Altstadthäusern sowie die Originalfiguren der Alten Brücke, Kurfürst Carl Theodor und die Göttin Minerva, nebst ihren Assistenzfiguren. In der Gemäldegalerie bildet der ursprünglich für die Pfarrkirche in Bad Windsheim hergestellte Zwölfbotenaltar von Tilman Riemenschneider, dem herausragenden Bildhauer der Spätgotik. Eine weitere Attraktion der Galerie ist Wilhelm Lehmbrucks Steinguss "Rückblickende". Sie ist im Neubau des Museums aufgestellt und gehört zu den wenigen von dem Künstler eigenhändig signierten Werken.

Stadtgeschichte
Die Präsentation der Stadtgeschichte schlägt einen großen Bogen vom Mittelalter bis in das 20. Jahrhundert. Das so genannte Lapidarium zeigt neben einem Modell der mittelalterlichen Kernaltstadt die ältesten steinernen Relikte Heidelbergs (mittelalterliche Epitaphien, Schlusssteine aus dem ehemaligen Augustinerkloster etc.). In einem zweiten, der "Alten Brücke" gewidmeten Raum sind die originalen Brückenfiguren des Hofbildhauers Linck aufgestellt. Ferdinand Kobells einzigartiger Bilderzyklus des Eisgangs von 1784 dokumentiert die verheerenden Folgen dieser Naturkatastrophe, die zum Bau des berühmten Wahrzeichens der Stadt führten. Der dritte Saal des Untergeschosses zeigt spektakuläre Funde der stadtarchäologischen Grabungen auf dem Kornmarkt. Durch die Rekonstruktion einer Küche mit Feuerstelle und Möbeln wird hier das "Leben in Heidelberg um 1600" nachvollzogen. In das bürgerliche Zeitalter und die neuere Entwicklung ab 1800 führen vier Räume im Erdgeschoss des Palais Morass. Schwerpunkte bilden die "Heidelberger Romantik", die "Badische Revolution um 1848/49" und "Heidelberg um 1900".

Weitere Außenstellen

Textilsammlung Max Berk
Die 1978 von dem Nußlocher Fabrikanten Max Berk gegründete Textilsammlung gehört seit Januar 2002 zur Abteilung Kunsthandwerk. Sie befindet sich in der 1733 von Johann Jakob Rischer erbauten, ehemaligen evangelischen Kirche von Ziegelhausen (Brahmsstraße 8, 69118 Heidelberg) sowie dem angebauten Pfarrhaus. Die Ausstellungsfläche beläuft sich heute auf ca. 600 m². Das Museum selbst gliedert sich in mehrere, jedoch nur temporär zu besichtigende Ausstellungsbereiche. Im Vordergrund steht ein umfangreicher Fundus von Damenkostümen, wobei einige Originale bis in die zweite Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zurückreichen. Ergänzt wird dieser Bereich durch verschiedene Accessoires, textile Gebrauchsgegenstände und dekorative Textilobjekte. Wertvolle Exponate aus dem außereuropäischen Raum, wie zum Beispiel Textilien aus Indien, Batiken aus Java, Ikats aus Bali und peruanische Grabfunde findet der Besucher in einem weiteren Bereich. Eine bedeutende und umfangreiche Sammlung antiker Patchwork-Quilts aus England und den USA aus den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten stellt einen der Schwerpunkte der Textilsammlung Max Berk dar.

Als Spiritus Rector galt Dr. Klaus Sieble, der die Gründung der Textilsammlung Max Berk im Jahre 1978 entscheidend geprägt und deren Geschicke bis 2001 gelenkt hatte. Klaus Siebler ist am 26. Dezember 2022 im Alter von 87 Jahren verstorben. Heidelberg verdankt seinem Engagement ein außergewöhnliches Museum im Stadtteil Ziegelhausen. Seit über 40 Jahren bereichert die Textilsammlung Max Berk das kulturelle Leben am Neckar und genießt als Ausstellungshaus für textile Kunst und Kulturgeschichte internationales Renommee.

Mark Twain Center
Das Mark Twain Center für transatlantische Beziehungen, das am 22. Mai 2022 für die Öffentlichkeit eröffnet wurde, ist die jüngste bzw. neueste Außenstelle des Kurpfälzischen Museums. Es liegt innerhalb der Mark-Twain-Village in der Südstadt und im Fokus steht vor allem das Multimedia-Ausstellung "Join the Story"; ebenso soll dieser Ort auch für zum Beispiel Kultur und Begegnungen dienen.

Weitere Angebote
Weitere Angebote des Museums sind die museumspädagogische Abteilung, das "Kunstwerk des Monats" und ein Museumsshop.

Der Kunstverein Heidelberg, der Gegenwartskunst präsentiert, hat direkt anschließend seine Räume.

Application – What application will the concrete be needed for?
Quantity – How many cubic yards of concrete will be needed?
Quality – Are there specifications or mix designs that must be met?
A volumetric mixer, or mobile concrete mixer as it is sometimes also called, is an on-demand concrete production solution. A mobile concrete mixer is a batch plant mounted on a chassis–usually a truck or trailer–and carries unmixed material (sand, cement, coarse aggregates, water and any other materials or chemicals needed for more specialty applications) to a job site and mixed on a continuous or intermittent basis as required for fresh maximum strength concrete.
Volumetric proportioning is based on volume not weight so through an easy calibration process it is possible to produce concrete that will consistently meet or exceed the tolerances set in ASTM C685 and AASHTO M-241 standards as well as DOT requirements. Mix designs can be changed or altered without moving the machine; the operator can make adjustments at any time as required for the job site.
This document will be used to highlight the benefits of using a volumetric mixer over alternative methods of production.
VMMB Certified volumetric mixers are designed to give customers more control over their concrete. As opposed to rotary drum mixers, mobile volumetric concrete mixers allow for an efficient and more environmentally friendly method of producing and pouring concrete. Our solution produces the exact amount and slump of concrete needed at the precise time, eliminating scenarios of under or over-ordering concrete that will ultimately be wasted. As a result of mixing on-site, our solutions require less water, generate less waste and consume less fossil fuels lowering our carbon foot print.
These mixers have been used for a wide range of applications over the past 50 years. Any amount of concrete can be produced from a yard to 400 yards or greater per day for continuous pouring as long as the unit is re-loaded with materials at the job site. Due to material being stored in separate compartments, a single volumetric mixer can change mix designs on the fly without ever returning to a batch plant or dumping unused material. An operator could easily pour 5,000 PSI concrete, select a different mix design through the control panel and a few seconds later pour a low strength flowable fill.
Fast setting applications – when time is critical to reopen roads, bridges and airport runways volumetric mixers are the only type that work with fast or rapid setting cements.
Compared to traditional drum mixing, mobile volumetric mixing offers the construction world complete control of their concrete. Volumetric mixers are mounted on trucks or trailers and contain all the necessary ingredients to produce and deliver concrete. These concrete mixers are called volumetric mixers due to their ability to measure raw materials using volume rather than weight. There is not a minimum amount that needs to be produced. Ingredients are mixed on site and only to the specific amount that's required. Material can be delivered to different locations, on one trip from the plant, each which may only require one, two or less than a yard of concrete. If needed volumetric mixers can carry up to 12 cubic yards of capacity; however, if material is stockpiled, the unit can be reloaded continuously on the site, extending the amount of concrete produced to whatever amount is needed. A volumetric mixer is the most flexible method for handling construction projects. With material ingredients stored in separate containers and bins, project delays can be easily managed with no waste, overmixed or hot loads.
VMMB Certified volumetric mixers meet all of the requirements for certification as detailed in ASTM C685, AASHTO 241M and the VMMB standards. These documents were written and adopted to ensure that concrete produced in a volumetric mixer is of the exact quality as produced in a certified Ready Mix plant. The material produced by either a plant or a volumetric mixer must meet the same tolerances and pass the same tests. The Volumetric Mixer Manufacturer Bureau (VMMB), was originally organized in November, 1999 with the assistance of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA). The VMMB states the Bureau was founded for several reasons to 1) to develop, in conjunction with ASTM and ACI, a standard for which this equipment can be rated; 2) to promote the use of this equipment through education and awareness; and 3) to improve the professionalism of both the manufacturers and operators of mobile mixers. In February of 2001 the first edition of VMMB 100-01, the Volumetric Mixer Standards were published. As with the other Bureaus, only units that are built to these Standards, and pass all the required tests, are eligible to receive and display the VMMB registered rating plate. Each of these is numbered, and cannot be transferred to another unit. This plate is a guarantee that the unit it represents met all of the requirements for capacity, accuracy, and consistency that have been established for the industry at the time of manufacture.
Concrete produced at a batch plant be must transported to the job site, which is the reason for restrictions that are written in documents such as ASTM C94 regarding material acceptance that is more than 90 minutes old, or has been subjected to a specified number of drum revolutions. The hydration process begins once water contacts cement, and continues until the available water is gone. Additionally, as material tumbles in a drum, it undergoes a forming and breaking of bonds between aggregate particles. This process degrades the final material and generates heat, ultimately reducing the final strength of the concrete. A volumetric mixer offers a timeless advantage. With the concrete being produced as needed, fresh, on site, there is no time restriction or loss of strength due to extended mix times.
The Terracon Report, Volumetric versus Drum Truck, Revision 1 – Volumetric Mixer Manufacturing Bureau (VMMB) Project No. 92101448 demonstrates that concrete produced from a volumetric mixer is higher in PSI strength as a result of avoiding drum mixer fatigue.
The most important factor of concrete quality is the water to cement ratio. These two ingredients, water and cement, are responsible for binding everything together. The water to cement ratio largely determines the strength, durability, workability and finishing quality of the concrete. Many specifications consider this ratio the foundation for building and approving mix designs. The more water added, the more the strength of the resulting concrete is reduced. Too little water, the more difficult the concrete will be to place and finish. The difference between too little and too much water can be 1 gallon per cubic yard. Adding 1 gallon of water to a cubic yard of a given mix design will lower the final strength 200 – 300 PSI, and increase the slump of the material 1 inch. Simply put, adding 1 gallon of water to a cubic yard of a given mix design will effectively eliminate 25lbs of the cementitious material. This is the reason ASTM C94 and other related specifications call for restrictions on the addition of water to a mix, once it has been batched.
A volumetric mixer allows the operator to control the precise amount water being added to any mixture. Because the concrete mix we are producing is fresh, typically 10-15 seconds old before it hits the ground, there is no need to add water above the designed amount. We are not impacted by slump loss or hot loads that require additional water.

Where is the Jue family from?
You can see how Jue families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Jue family name was found in the USA, the UK, and Canada between 1880 and 1920. The most Jue families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1891 there were 24 Jue families living in London. This was about 33% of all the recorded Jue's in the UK. London had the highest population of Jue families in 1891.

Labrador Trained to Sniff Out Devastating Honey Bee Disease
Bee Colony Collapse
Labrador Trained to Sniff Out…
According to assistant professor Michelle Nappier with the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, dogs "have up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, versus only about six million for us. The part of their brains dedicated to interpreting smell is about 40 times larger than ours." For this reason, dogs are perfect for inspecting honey bee colonies for American foulbrood (AFB), which is one of the worst bacterial diseases impacting honey bees today. The result of a bacterium called Paenibacillus larvae, this disease poses a serious threat to honey bees and the agricultural systems relying on them.
AFB specifically affects bee larvae, with crop protection agent Rob Snyder saying, "Once spores are in the midgut, the vegetative form of the bacterium takes over using the larvae as a source of nourishment." One larvae can contain a billion spores, and only 35 are required to trigger AFB. When hives become infected, beekeepers usually treat them using antibiotics like lincomycin hydrochloride and tylosin tartrate. However, though they help control symptoms, these antibiotics don't destroy the spores. "When you treat a beehive with antibiotics," Bryan Merrill, a Stanford University researcher, says, "it'll knock down the population of all the healthy bacteria bees need to survive."
To save their other colonies from AFB, beekeepers often destroy infected hives by plugging their entrances, using masking tape to cover the sides, pouring unleaded gasoline on the hives, and then setting them ablaze using blow lamps. This is where an AFB-sniffing dog would come in—the dog can make sure the infected hive is isolated or eradicated. "Detection and quarantine processes are essential to save our bees," per Josh Kennett, who owns Australia's first hive-sniffing dog.
This is a crucial job, but it does have a few risks, with Kennett saying his black Labrador, Bazz, hates being stung. Kennett then designed a beekeeper suit for the canine, including a mesh headpiece like the plastic cones dogs sometimes wear after going to the vet's office. Interestingly, "bee dogs" are something the US, specifically Maryland, has had since as far back as 1982. The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) is currently the only US state agency that trains dogs for detecting AFB, keeping tabs on about 3.4 percent of US pollinators.
According to Cybil Preston, a Maryland state apiary inspector, she has regular canine assistants to help with apiary inspections, and her current one is a four-year-old yellow Labrador named Mack—the only US dog certified to sniff out the "brown snot gunk" that is AFB. He works from November to about March when the temperatures drop below 54 degrees Fahrenheit and the honey bees are dormant.
When working, Preston will tell Mack to "find," and he'll move between beehives, sniffing them out for a dead fish smell, an odor often linked with AFB. If Mack catches a whiff, he sits and alerts Preston that an inspection is required, for which he's rewarded and praised. "He's incredibly efficient," Preston said. "In a span of three weeks, Mack inspected over 1,600 bee colonies that were being sent to California for almond pollination. And he is accurate—in field testing, he correctly identified 100 percent of infected hives…AFB would be a lot more prevalent if we weren't doing dog inspections."

Most certification or licensure exams, including the IBLCE exam, use a multiple-choice format. Before taking a multiple-choice exam, everyone needs to develop some test-taking savvy. To do that, it's helpful to know the "anatomy" of the exam item.
The stem consists of the necessary "background" information, along with a question or an unfinished statement.
Baby John is 17 days old, and he is being exclusively breastfed. During the past 5 days, he has passed two stools each day. The stools are shown in the accompanying photo.
Note that half or more of the IBLCE exam questions are based on images — mostly clinical photos but diagrams, graphs, etc. are all fair game so learning more about images is key.
After the examinee has read what is going on, a question is posed. At least on the IBLCE exam, the question boils down to: What are you going to do about it?
What would you tell baby John's mother?
Hence, this description of what is going on, along with the question, constitutes the entire stem.
In a multiple-choice test item, there are several options. Usually, there are 4 options, but occasionally there are 3 or 5 options.There are two kinds of options within one exam item: The key, and the distractors.
One option is the key. That is, of course, the correct answer. (Hopefully, you will pick that one!) I would argue that the key always comes down to four main ideas.
The other options are called distractors. A distractor is an incorrect response. I like to remind exam-takers that there's a reason why experts call those options distractors. It's because they distract you from picking the right answer!
The example I just gave is an application-level question. Why so? Because the question requires you to make a decision based on two major concepts. First, you must know what a normal stool looks like for a breastfed infant. Second, you must know how many stools a day are normal at that age.
This is just an introduction to understanding how exams are constructed. But to develop some test-taking savvy, you'll need to know how to carefully read the stem and all of the options. It's especially important to know how to deal with qualifiers.
If you still need help to prepare yourself for IBLCE exam questions, among other tests, I have written an entire publication on Test-Taking Strategies. It's available as a hard copy and as an eBook that you can have access to within seconds of purchase.
If you need more than test-taking strategies, it's not too late to order our fabulously-popular Picture Perfect Workbook to help you understand how to decipher the pictures in The Breastfeeding Atlas. You might also like our Online Lactation Review.
I really want to see you pass this exam! What can I help you with? Tell me in the comments below!

A literate programming source code processor with a [command line app](#command-line-interface) and [library interface](#library-interfaces).

## What is dotlit?
dotlit is a transparent extension to [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) that adds semantics to Markdown code blocks.  It allows you to easily:

1. Use anonymous code blocks to document a single source file using Markdown and then filter out the Markdown to recover the original source.
2. Use named code blocks to embed any number of source code files from any programming language into a Markdown document and then easily extract them out later.
3. Combine named and anonymous code blocks to include dependent files inside a main source file.

Since it is a transparent extension any existing Markdown processor can process any dotlit file.  This documentation is a dotlit file itself and you can see how
GitHub renders it [here](https://github.com/zoopdoop/dotlit/blob/master/README.lit.md).

## Uses for dotlit?

1. Adding meta documentation that you don't want to be shipped with the source code.  These can be things like design decisions you
made, checklists of requirements, references to online documentation or comments to files that don't provide for a comments, like json files.
This [literate programming](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming) style has recently had a reawakening due to
Jeremy Ashkenas' [Literate CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/#literate) (which inpart inspired dotlit's creation).
2. Gathering and documenting a set of files.  A good example is a [chef](http://www.opscode.com/chef/) recipe that with five customized files.
Instead of having separate (or no) documenation on what was changed in the files you can have a single dotlit file that contains all the documenation and
the files with their full paths preserved.
3. Bundling the tests for a source file within the actual source file.  Imagine being able to write the test code for the function right next to the actual function instead of
maintaining seperate files.  Using a combination of anonymous code blocks in the source file with named test file blocks you can easily embed the test code and then
extract it out for testing.
4. Developing code using a single file but compiling/serving it using multiple files.  In web development combining html, css and Javascript in a single file is
not a good idea because it limits testability and often violates the [DRY principle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself).  However, keeping all the
related code in one file does often provide for a quicker development cycle because you are not constantly switching between files.  With dotlit you can combine
the files during development and easily extract them for testing/compiling/serving and get a meta documenation facility as a bonus.
5. Writing tutorials or ebooks containing code you can validate.  How many tutorials or ebooks have you read that have syntax errors in the code samples because they
were just pasted in after the fact?  Because dotlit is simply Markdown you can use any of the wide variety of tools to render the dotlit file as
HTML, PDF or the various eBook formats and still be able to extract and verify the code with the bonus of being able to also deliver all of the source
files separately.  This was the original inspiration for dotlit (after talking to (Paul Bissex)[https://twitter.com/pbx] at a developer's group about how he [used Markdown to co-write](http://news.e-scribe.com/440)
his [Django book](http://withdjango.com/)).

## dotlit Markup

### Anonymous Code Blocks
Anonymous code blocks are simply Markdown code blocks.

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
        puts("Hello, world!");
        return 0;
    }

If this anonymous code block was inside a file named hello.c.lit.md you could extract the code into hello.c using this command:
```sh
$ dotlit hello.c.lit.md --extract
```

The placement of the .lit extension in the filename sets the end of the extracted filename in a document with
anonymous code blocks.  The following three files with anonymous code blocks would extract out to test.js.

1. test.js.lit.md
2. test.js.lit.dev.md
3. test.js.lit

### Named Code Blocks
Named code blocks allow you embed a named file in a Markdown document.  The $ character (when it is the first non-whitespace character in a code block) denotes a dotlit file operation.

    $ hello.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
        puts("Hello, world!");
        return 0;
    }

If this named code block was in a file named programming-tutorial.lit.md you could extract the code into hello.c using this command:
```sh
$ dotlit programming-tutorial.lit.md --extract hello.c
```

### Simple Named Code Blocks Example
Imagine you are writing a simple tutorial about creating the "Hello, world!" code shown above.  If you do it as a dotlit file you can extract your code
from your tutorial as you write it to make sure it compiles and your reader could extract it later to get the code without copying and pasting.  You could
also render the dotlit file as HTML and deliver it along with the extracted files.

---------------------------------------

_**Tutorial: Creating "Hello, world!"**_

_First create a file named hello.c using your favorite editor.  The first thing you will add is preprocessor command to tell the C compiler to load the standard io libary._

    $ hello.c
    #include <stdio.h>

_Then add the following lines to hello.c to define the main entry point into the program._

    $ hello.c (+)

    int main() {
    }

_Finally let's make the program print out "Hello, world!" and exit with a status code of 0.  Add the following between the two braces:_

    $ hello.c (3+)
        puts("Hello, world!");
        return 0;

_Compile hello.c with your favorite compiler and you are done!_

---------------------------------------

### dotlit File Operations

The previous simple example shows the three of the file operations that dotlit adds.  Here are all operations:

    $ test.txt
    This creates a new file called test.txt since there is no operator after the filename.

    $ test.txt (+)
    This line gets appended to test.txt at line 2. The plain "+" means insert at the end of the file.

    $ test.txt (2+)
    These twos lines are inserted at line 2, pushing "This line gets appended to test.txt" to line 4.
    The "2+" means insert the text at line 2.  You can have any number of lines here.

    $ test.txt (1-2)
    This deletes the first two lines of test.txt.  The "1-2" means delete two lines starting at line 1.
    The content of this code block is ignored but will be flagged if the dotlit command renders it to HTML.

    $ test.txt (1)
    This is the new first line of the file.  The bare "1" means replace line 1 in test.txt
    This second line is ignored since we only specified a single line replacement.
    This code block will be flagged if the dotlit command renders it to HTML since it has more than one line.

    $ test.txt (1:2)
    This is the new first line of the file.  The "1:2" means replace two lines starting at line 1 with these
    three lines.  The number of new lines in the code block does not need to match the number of lines
    that are replaced, so this line would also be added to the file.

    $ (1-2)
    This is an anonymous code block that allows you to use any of the parenthetical operators mentioned above.
    This example would delete two lines starting at line 1.

### File Operation Format

- (+) append the contents of the code block to end of file
- (L+) append the contents of the code block starting at line L
- (L-C) delete C lines starting at line L and ignore the contents of the code block
- (L) replace line L with the first line of the code block
- (L:C) replace C lines starting at line L with the entire contents of the code block

## Getting Started
dotlit is a [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) module that has both a command line component and a library that you can
use in your own node.js projects.  You don't have to be a node.js programmer to use the command line interface but
you do need to have node.js installed.

Once you install node.js install the module with: `npm install -g dotlit`

### Command Line Interface

```sh
$ dotlit --help
dolit version 0.2.0

Usage: dotlit <file> [options]

Options:
  --list            Lists the embedded files (default if no option is given)
  --extract <file>  Extracts the specified embedded file
  --extract-all     Extracts all the embedded files
  --print <file>    Prints the specified embedded file to stdout
  --print-all       Prints all the embedded files to stdout
  --render <file>   Renders the dotlit file as html
  --force           Skips confirmation when extracting files outside the current directory
  --verbose         Shows messages while processing
  --help            Shows this information
```

#### Using dotlit files with named code blocks

List all the embedded files
```sh
$ dotlit named-blocks.lit.md --list
index.html
assets/js/app.js
assets/js/api.js
assets/css/app.css
/etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com
```

Print out the contents of an embedded file
```sh
$ dotlit README.md --print hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    puts("Hello, world!");
    return 0;
}
```

Extract all the files.  You will need to give confirmation for any files extracted when they are outside of the current directory
or its subdirectories.  You use the --force parameter to disable these checks.
```sh
$ dotlit named-blocks.lit.md --extract-all --verbose
Extract /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com? (outside of tree) [y/N] y
[INFO] Extracted assets/js/api.js
[INFO] Extracted index.html
[INFO] Extracted assets/js/app.js
[INFO] Extracted assets/css/app.css
[INFO] Extracted /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com
```

Extract the foo.js file
```sh
$ dotlit named-blocks.lit.md --extract assets/js/foo.js
```

Render a dotlit file as HTML
```sh
$ dotlit named-blocks.lit.md --render named-blocks.html
```

#### Using dotlit files with only anonymous code blocks

List all the files
```sh
$ dotlit anonymous-blocks.js.lit.md --list
anonymous-blocks.js
```

Extract the code into anonymous-blocks.js
```sh
$ dotlit anonymous-blocks.js.lit.md --extract
```

#### Using dotlit files with a mix of named and anonymous code blocks

```sh
$ dotlit mixed-blocks.js.lit.md --list
mixed-blocks.js
foo.js
bar.js
baz.css
```

Extract all the files
```sh
$ dotlit mixed-blocks.js.lit.md --extract-all
```

Extract the foo.js file
```sh
$ dotlit mixed-blocks.js.lit.md --extract foo.js
```

Extract the mixed-blocks.js file
```sh
$ dotlit mixed-blocks.js.lit.md --extract
```

Royal Enfield's looks win it a part in a movie
Green screen background will be filled in by computers.
The starlet who gets "discovered" at a soda fountain is a Hollywood legend. That is sort of how Leigh Murphy's Royal Enfield Bullet ended up being filmed for a movie recently.
Leigh, an artist and Florida resident, owns a 2005 retro-look Bullet she has nicknamed "Absinthe." Leigh wrote to tell me how it won a cameo role in a film:
"I rode Absinthe up to meet a friend in a local coffee shop and the guy next to us asks if that's my bike. When I said yes, he asked if I would allow him to put it in an upcoming film shoot.
"At first I thought it was just another cheesy come-on but I gave him my card anyway. Much to my surprise his executive producer called and confirmed the day and gave me more details.
Note computer monitors and, in background, a fan to add "wind."
"Fortunately it didn't involve wild high-speed chases, just a deliciously cool movie studio and something fun to watch on a hot afternoon.
"The Hollywood thing is fun but it comes in second to the real life adventures of riding Absinthe."
Leigh does not know much about the movie itself.
"The working title is 'Big Break,' but they have to find another one since that one is copyrighted already. Yes, that's a green screen since the bike is supposed to be a stand in for a steampunk version of a time machine. The psychedelic effects will be computer generated and added later. Think cool funky Tardis. I have no idea when or if it will be released."
Royal Enfield Bullet is the center of attention.
How does she like all the attention her Bullet brings?
"I'm definitely still enjoying it, much to the dismay of some folks around here. I accepted an invitation from a local Ducati group to go to a bike night gathering — once. Not long after riders of assorted marques started to really crowd the place, the Duc riders were resenting how passers-by would walk around their fancy machines to zero in on mine to gawk and take photos. I haven't heard from them since."

Airlines Logos
Frontier Airlines Logo
ultra low-cost carrier,USA
Frontier Airlines Logo PNG
The Frontier Airlines logo stands for safe travel. Promises a smooth takeoff and landing. The company prioritizes passenger safety. The emblem also hints at a special "green" offer of airlines with free transportation.
Frontier Airlines: Brand overview
Founded: February 8, 1994
Founder: Frederick W. "Rick" Brown, Janice Brown, Bob Schulman
Website: flyfrontier.com
Frontier Airlines is the link between cities in the United States, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Canada. It is based in Denver and flies to over 100 destinations, serving about 90% of the United States population. Its fleet is constantly replenished with new air transport, and for the entire time, Frontier Airlines' aircraft have never appeared in a fatal situation. In terms of pricing, this organization is considered low-cost and, to some extent, imitates Spirit Airlines, offering customers affordable fares.
What is Frontier Airlines?
Frontier Airlines is an American airline based in Denver, Colorado, owned by Indigo Partners, a private equity firm. Frontier Airlines is a low-budget US territorial airline with domestic flights. More than 100 settlements are known to which it flies. Among them are Trenton, Orlando, Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and others. In addition, it serves 31 overseas destinations. The air carrier was founded in 1994 and is the technical brand of Indigo Partners. The location of the air transport company is the city of Denver, where it has a hub airport. The company is now in a difficult situation because it took a quarter of a million dollars to compensate for the financial damage caused by the pandemic outbreak. The reason is the coronavirus pandemic, which has limited movement around the country and flights abroad.
There were two periods in the air transport enterprise history: the first began in 1950 and ended in 1986, and the second lasted from 1994 to the present. The original Frontier carried about 87 million passengers before it filed for bankruptcy and merged with Continental Airlines. The last aircraft with the iconic Frontier Airlines logo on board took off in 1986.
In the early 1990s, several former Frontier employees co-founded AeroDenver Travel Services with an ex-United Airlines pilot. Almost immediately, the Denver company was renamed Frontier Airlines. In addition to the name and base of the bankrupt enterprise, she inherited its symbols. This happened in 2014 when designers gave a second life to the classic Saul Bass emblem.
Old and new Frontier are two different airlines with the same name. Although the existing organization leaders have tried to connect them at the branding level, they do not have a common history. The current logo of the airline is a tribute to the classic style. It is combined with the aircraft tail section's modern design, which has depicted wild animals since 1994.
The emblem has undergone several dramatic changes, as it was modernized with delays in several periods. However, the designers have tied the old and new versions of the logo, choosing the legendary icon in the form of a bird's wing, which replaces the letter "F."
In 1958, Lewis Bergman Maytag, Jr. became the majority shareholder of Frontier Airlines. The oldest logo, which was the predecessor of the modern airline, features a flying arrow with half-segments. The halves represent the tip and tail. This is a special visual trick so that the arrow resembles as much as possible an airplane directed forward. Behind him, a thin golden line stretches, indicating the trajectory of the flight and the trail in the sky. The emblem also has a boomerang – a symbol of forwarding movement with backward movement. It is an allegory of performing round-trip flights (in two directions). This makes the logo dynamic. Below is the Frontier Airlines italic lettering in flat capital letters. The palette is borrowed from nature itself: gold (the color of the sun) and blue (the color of the sky). The new symbol adorned the side of the Convair CV-340 aircraft in 1959. By the way, the very first logo with a winged arrow appeared in 1950, but it was red-green and had a different design.
This emblem was created by renowned director Saul Bass, who has collaborated with celebrities such as Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock. He also designed some of the aviation industry's most stylish emblems, including United Airlines and Continental Airlines. The designer tried to make the logo of this period radically different from the previous version.
It features a stylized "F" in the form of a bird's wing of three-wide feathers. White horizontal stripes of different lengths are located in a red circle. Below is the carrier's name, written in strict block letters, sans serif. Special emphasis is placed on the "R," the right side of which is not connected to the left leg.
This symbol was introduced on April 30, 1978, and remained in use until 1986, when the company went out of business.
After the airline rebooted with a re-launch in the profile market, it left the old name but took on a new logo. This is understandable – its founders were a group of individuals who headed the previous structure of Aeroflot. The founders invited another specialist to create a personal identity to make the past and modern organizations somehow different from each other. Therefore, the author of this emblem is the designer Dan Cotton. He proposed a different concept based on a dark blue rectangle with white lettering inside.
The title spans two lines. Above is the word "Frontier," which is made in italics of uneven height. The "jumping" letters outwardly resemble the trail of an airplane, as it is painted in films and animated films. The font is semi-connected, grotesque, individual. To emphasize the originality of the air transport company, the author of the logo made similar the uppercase "F" and the lowercase "t," beating them with straight, elongated lines. In the second line, he put the word "Airlines." It is written in a classic wide-spacing serrated typeface.
This period is characterized by a highly legible emblem with clear capital letters. The developer changed the handwritten style to the printed style, which made the inscription immediately gain versatility: it is visible and understandable at first glance, which was not the case in the previous version. Despite this adjustment, the authors did not use serifs – they settled on a chopped typeface with wide lines.
In addition, a dark color stands out better against a light background than a light color against a dark background. And also, thanks to the white color of the backing, it became possible to open the logo – to make it limitless (without frames), which is symbolic for an air transport company. The second half of the name is made in small and thin letters. The predominant colors at this time were green, black, and white.
At the end of 2013, the airline was acquired by the Indigo Partners LLC group led by Bill Franke. The new owners decided to change their business strategy, so they simplified the tariff structure and ordered from PS: Studios, Inc., a new livery for Frontier aircraft. The designers have given a second life to the Saul Bass emblem to highlight the brand's history. They included it in the inscription, using it instead of the first letter.
The icon consists of three stripes of different lengths, reminiscent of a bird's wing. The developers used an italic font to balance the elements, but without the handwritten style. The inscription is still in printable sans-serif characters in geometrically proportional letters. Instead of the traditional "F," there is a brand name. Below the word, "Frontier" is "Airlines" – in the lower-left corner, between "T" and "R."
The airline's current symbol is a tribute to its past, even though the new brand is only formally associated with the old Frontier Airlines. Visual identity is based on the geometric F-shaped badge invented by Saul Bass in 1978.
The logo was presented in September 2014 at the presentation of the Airbus A320-214 N227FR aircraft. It turned out that the designers returned the iconic Frontier F and the arrow pointing forward. This is a reference to the original emblem, which first appeared aboard the Douglas DC-3 in 1950. The retrospective approach integrates past and future, although a stylized "F" in the word mark impairs legibility.
The icon of three curved shapes is combined with the grotesque, geometric Gotham. This font family was designed by American typographer Tobias Frere-Jones in collaboration with Jesse Ragan. The inspiration comes from the signs on old buildings in New York. The Frontier Airlines logo features a bold version of Gotham, with the first word in italics. A slight tilt to the right symbolizes forward movement.
The first logos used a typeface reminiscent of Moki Soft with differences in the letters "F" and "R." In modern versions, the inscription is made in fonts that almost coincide with Magnum Sans Black and JT Leonor Extra Bold Italic.
The American airline switched to green in 1994. Designers from PS: Studios, Inc. decided to keep this palette but chose a new shade (# 318468), close to dark turquoise. And they made the word "AIRLINES" light gray (# 9E9A97).
The roots of this airline go deep into history because it was founded in 1959 and existed until 1972. Then it had a short period of stagnation, followed by a resumption of work in 1978. However, in 1986, Frontier Airlines ceased operations again, merging with Continental Airlines. Designer Saul Bass designed the logos for both airlines.
The re-creators of the aviation service were United Airlines pilot Frederick W. "Rick" Brown, his wife Janice Brown, and Bob Schulman. When Continental Airlines began to reduce international flights from Denver airport in 1993, the three formed charter firm AeroDenver Travel Services to meet the public's demand on international destinations. They invited M.C. "Hank" Lund, the former CEO of the former Frontier Airlines. At the same time, the airline adopted its former name – Frontier Airlines. Its registration took place in the winter of 1994.
Like its prototype company of the same name, the new Frontier had a hub in Denver and for nine years used the motto "The Spirit of the West," which was written in italics above the portholes. And the word "Frontier" was on the fuselage of all her aircraft. By the early 2000s, the carrier improved its aircraft fleet and expanded its route network. However, in 2020, the company found itself on the verge of collapse due to lawsuits brought against it when it did not want to compensate for the cost of tickets to passengers who could not fly due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

sakura-flavoured soya yoghurt, strawberry compote, sakura blossom/cherry leaf powder, fresh strawberries & matcha shortbreads.
Okay, you can tell me. Have I overdone it just a tad on the strawberry/sakura/matcha combination recently? I was trying to make the most of it before Summer was undeniably upon us! And, of course, I've been baking a lot these last few weeks, because it's how I deal with exam stress.
Or, actually, you know - well, I bake a lot.
Generally speaking, the people in my life are pretty used to this, but I think I must be worse than usual at the moment, possibly caught up in the idea of blogging again. I must admit that in between French revision sessions the other day, Helen saw me sprinkling cherry leaf powder onto my porridge, clutching my camera, and laughed at me.
Helen is supposed to be my most supportive housemate. I don't need this, Helen! I don't need you! When I live on my own, I can make breakfasts as weird as my heart desires! The internet will embrace them! I won't be brandishing sakura extract round our kitchen for much longer!
There aren't recipes for most of these things, but because I'm on a serious smoothie kick I'll prod you into the following. The frozen banana makes it super cold and creamy (and I'm really not a banana fan generally), meaning that it's pretty much as wholesome as one can feel while drinking frothy pink milk and sitting on the back doorstep. Which sounds quite wholesome, actually. But now with added fruit!
-blend til smooth and frothy (and pink!). I sprinkled with cherry leaf powder, but this is obviously not required smoothie-etiquette. I just have a lot of cherry leaf powder around right now.
So you win the award for most creative meal, hands down.
I despise bananas but you actually made me want to try it frozen. Eureka!
Looking forward to more deliciousness and beautiful pics.
Hey, thanks for commenting! Trust me, I used to LOATHE bananas - something about freezing them changes them completely, they've seriously grown on me now. If you've never tried banana soft-serve, that's a good way in; you just chop up a frozen banana and whizz it in a food processor with a little water or milk til it goes the consistency of soft-serve ice-cream. Definitely worth a try!
I would love to "chat " with u via email maybe? You left a lovely comment to me on PB&Jenny before (re underweight issues). If you are open to chat via email that would be lovely. I sent you an email, but not sure if you received it?
Can you PLEASE post some sort of recipe to follow for the shortbread matcha cookies and non dairy icecream, along with the oatmeal and compote??
Hey anon! For the shortbreads I followed basic proportions; 4oz butter/vegan margarine, 2oz caster sugar, and 6oz plain (all-purpose) flour, along with a Tbsp or two (don't remember, sorry!) of matcha green tea powder - beat the margarine & sugar til smooth, then mix in the matcha flour; shortbread's best made with the fingers, til it comes together to a dough. Roll out on a floured surface, cut into rounds or whatever you fancy, and bake at 190C/375F until the edges go golden-brown - time will depend on how big or small they are; these little ones only took about 10mins I think? I also sprinkled with a little sakura powder/sugar before baking.
The non-dairy icecream was shopbought; I let it get soft, then sandwiched it between two cookies and refroze until just firm, and ate it that way.
I don't have much of a recipe for the oatmeal and compote - I just halved and roasted strawberries in a baking tray with a slosh of balsamic vinegar and some sakura sugar to taste, then once they were soft and juicy I mashed it a little with a fork, let it cool, and put it in a jar. The oatmeal is just made the ordinary way, with a spoonful of matcha powder added; served with soya yoghurt & the compote.
Sorry I couldn't be too precise, but I hope this helps!

Supplement Laced with Harmful Meds
A new Mexican supplement has been linked to an array of dangerous side effects.

MONDAY, June 4, 2012 (MedPage Today) — The FDA issued a warning to consumers against using a a Mexican "natural" dietary supplement promoted for pain relief due to unlabeled and potentially harmful pharmaceutical ingredients.
The warning for Reumofan Plus was issued after the agency received a number of adverse event reports, including incidences of liver injury, sudden worsening of glucose control, weight gain, swelling, leg cramps, and adrenal suppression.
After a laboratory analysis, the agency found Reumofan Plus contains the prescription drugs diclofenac sodium and methocarbamol.
Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that may cause cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke as well as serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines, the FDA said in a statement.
Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that can cause sedation, dizziness, hypotension and can impair mental and physical performance to drive or operate machinery.
Additional analysis by the Mexican Ministry of Health uncovered that at least one lot of the product contained the corticosteroid dexamethasone, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and immune system suppressant.
The Mexican Ministry of Health ordered the manufacturer, Riger Naturals, to recall the product and has issued a health warning to the public.
The FDA warned that these unlabeled components of Reumofan Plus may put patients taking other medications at risk for adverse drug interactions.
It cautioned that patients taking corticosteroids may be at risk for fatigue, nausea, hypotension, low blood sugar levels, fever, muscle and joint pain, and fainting if they discontinue Reumofan Plus use abruptly after prolonged or high-dose exposure.
The agency added that healthcare professionals are urged to ask patients about use of Reumofan Plus — or other products marketed as dietary supplements — if they present with unexplained symptoms that suggest NSAID toxicity, depression, or the use or abrupt discontinuation of corticosteroids.
"Healthcare professionals should evaluate patients who have used Reumofan Plus for drug and disease interactions involving diclofenac, methocarbamol, and corticosteroids, and consider whether a corticosteroid taper regimen may be appropriate in those who have used Reumofan Plus," the FDA stated.
The product is labeled in Spanish and marketed as a treatment for arthritis, muscle pain, osteoporosis, bone cancer, and other conditions, the statement said. It is sold at retail outlets, flea markets, and through online distributors.
Patients using, or who have recently used, Reumofan Plus should immediately consult a healthcare professional.

Adrenaline. Claps. Smiles. Intensity. Reverence. Victorious. These are words that characterize last night's basketball game against Arkansas Baptist College, a fellow historically black institution.
Coahoma's athletic director Reggie Hankerson, assistant athletic director Selina Reid and the Athletics staff chose to collaborate with Student Engagement director Karen Done, Assistant Director of Student Engagement LaShasa Griffin and Christopher Dixon, coordinator of Student Activities to bring students a one-of-a-kind student experience at this season's basketball games.
The game, which took place in the Pinnacle, resulted in Coahoma's first doubleheader sweep since January of 2016 with wins from both the men's and women's basketball teams. The Lady Tigers came out on top ending with a score of 52-31; Coahoma's male swooshers dominated the court as well, finishing with a score of 82-61.
President Valmadge Towner dedicated the sports event to those who have served and fought for our country—veterans of the Coahoma Community College campus community as well as the Clarksdale community. During halftime of the men's game, Coach Reggy Hankerson called all veterans and current armed service members to the court. For 'Military Appreciation Night,' Dr. Towner urged the fans to thank them when they encounter them. The entire building of fans then stood on their feet to honor them.
Activities throughout breaks and time-outs kept the momentum going. Audience members were allowed to participate in basket-shooting contests. A high-energy dance contest between a CCC student and two elementary-aged children. They took turns battling it out with acrobatic and trendy moves. The Tiger mascot made a special appearance at the 2nd home game of the season to liven up the place with quirky crowd interactions.

Ballet Des Moines has a new artistic director.
Tom Mattingly is coming to the ballet from Madison, Wisconsin, where he was ballet master for the Madison Ballet.
A review of the Royal Ballet by Jann Parry for DanceTabs.
In this version of Wright's production, Albrecht intervenes in Giselle's distress, appalled at what he has done, rather than standing by helplessly. His treachery has been exposed by resentful Hilarion, who has to witness the consequences of his action. Lukas Bjorneboe Braendsrød's Hilarion, tall and handsome, had rightly considered himself an accepted suitor for Giselle. His death, inflicted by the implacable Wilis, seems even more unjust than usual; like Giselle, he is a victim of Albrecht's philandering. The corps of Wilis, back on stage en masse after their long (Covid) absence, are already well drilled, with many more performances to come to perfect their unity.
A review of Ballet Black by Graham Watts for Bachtrack.
I have been writing about Ballet Black for many years and, as the company enters its 19th season (although, thanks to the pandemic, this coincides with the 20th anniversary of its formation) it is a matter of sadness that the original vision of its founder, the irrepressible Cassa Pancho MBE, to change the visible landscape of classical ballet is still as necessary as ever. It is true that the diversity of the UK's ballet companies has improved with several Black and Asian dancers now prominent (not least the former Ballet Black dancer, Sarah Kundi, at English National Ballet) but the numbers are still marginal. The Black dancers at any of our ballet companies can still be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Sanjoy Roy's review in The Guardian.
Mthuthuzeli November's The Waiting Game follows a more familiar dance-drama approach. Its three scenes hinge, somewhat precariously, on the image of a movable door. November starts crouched and cowed, tormented by voices in his head reciting his wake-work-eat-sleep routine while otherworldly pierrot-like figures emerge through the doorway, like sinister unseen forces. In the second scene, Sayaka Ichikawa comes through, coaxing him out of his ennui with impish games of pluck and peck. Finally, he makes it through the door, and finds himself in a land of showtime, glitter-coated with backing dancers, boogieing to Etta James. As dance, it's a fun finish; as drama, quite a long shot.

£1.6million 'Breaking Bad' gang behind huge drug factory to hand over thousands in profits
Eric Reid and Scott McGaw were involved in the industrial scale operation producing millions of dangerous etizolam tablets in a back street garage.

Two men involved in the industrial scale production of an illegal drug yesterday agreed to hand over more than £200,000 of their ill-gotten gains to the government.
Eric Reid and Scott McGaw were part of a gang responsible for the £1.6million haul found in a back street garage.
Police raided the premises and uncovered their sophisticated Breaking Bad-style operation producing etizolam - better known as fake street valium - and the pair were jailed along with another two men Harry Ingle and Nicolas Conway in 2018.
McGaw, who ran a hair transplant franchise at the time, was jailed for five years, and mechanic Reid for five and a half years.
Police who raided the drugs factory in Paisley's Back Sneddon Street in 2017 found 1,676,094 pills with a street value of £1.676million.
They were being churned out of a machine and many more were bagged and stored in holdall for onward supply.

McGaw, 48, of Paisley, agreed to hand over £595,251 of his illegal cash at a confiscation hearing in Edinburgh High Court today.
Reid, 35, of Johnstone, offered to settle the proceeds of crime action with a £47,899 payment and it was accepted by the court.
Etizolam is a benzodiazepine similar to much stronger than diazepam or valium and was banned under legislation which came into force on May 26 in 2016.
Speaking in the aftermath of the trial in 2018 drugs specialist Detective Constable Greig Baxter said: "This was the biggest production of etizolam I've ever attended. I know of no-one who has come across a pill press press operation as large as this in the UK.
"In March 2017 etizolam was selling for 50 pence or £1 a pill. We found 1,676,094 tablets on the premises. If sold for £1 a tablet this would realise £1,676,000."
