OVA at the Elementary School
Clinton elementary art students are working in full force on the Olympics of the Visuals Arts. This month we would like to feature the architecture group. Their challenge is to create a small or micro home. Architects have been adapting and converting international shipping containers into basic structures for homes and other human uses. The team's mission is to design an artist studio in a single shipping container. For the purposes of this challenge the standard container size is 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8 feet tall. They must use those dimensions and convert them to create their scaled down model design. The students are designing the studio to use alternate sources for water or power with the intent to make it "off the grid." The building will be in the woods over a waterfall which will be used for power. The picture shows them creating the landscape for their design.

The saying, "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" is attributed to Mark Twain but may have originated from Benjamin Disraeli. It's one of those phrases that has been misquoted more times than I can remember because in truth statistics is a branch of mathematics essential to understanding the world. Statistics is like a scalpel; in the hands of a skilled surgeon it can save lives, but in the hands of a serial killer it is an instrument of death. And the worse serial killers of statistics are marketing executives and politicians.
Probably the most common statistical parameter used by the news media is the average. The average size of family, or the average income; it has become so familiar it hardly gets a second thought. An average is calculated by adding up all the numbers in a data set and then dividing by the number of data points. An average can be useful as it reduces a lot of data to one easily understood number, but it can also mislead for precisely the same reason. The problem with average is that it says nothing about the way the data are distributed. An average is most useful when the data are what is known as a Gaussian, or normal distribution, whereby they are evenly distributed and the spread of numbers is bell-shaped (see Figure-1).
Random events such as the height of individuals in a country, or the weight of grains of sand on the beach will form a classical Gaussian distribution. Other data, such as earnings in the UK are not Gaussian, they are skewed to one side. To take an extreme example to illustrate what I mean, fifty people might have an average salary of £30,000 per year but that average could equally arise from all fifty earning £30,000 each or from forty-nine having a salary of one pound per year and one person having a salary of £1,499,951.
I want to be careful not to make political points rather than focus on the use – or misuse – of statistics. All politicians, in my experience, have selected statistics to suit their purpose at one time or another but it just happens that a particular example has recently come along. There was a Tweet from UK politician Dominic Raab saying real wages are rising at the fastest rate for 10-years (Figure-2).
The plot shows average weekly earnings versus year. It shows the latest average weekly wage as £495, which is equivalent to £25,740 per year. The first thing that strikes me is that the graph is pretty flat across 2016-2018 and to my eye, the fastest rate of increase was around 2015. The claim that wages are rising at the fasted rate for 10-years therefore seems to me to be somewhat ambitious based upon the graph in the Tweet.
Nevertheless, putting the basics of graphical interpretation to one side, the use of average is fine if the data have a Gaussian distribution such as in Figure-1 but, as I've already said, UK earnings are not Gaussian. Take the 2013/14 earnings statistics for example (Figure-3). In such cases, two other parameters are more meaningful: the median and the mode. (For a Gaussian distribution, the average, median and mode all coincide, but these parameters part company if the spread of data leans one way or another).
The median shows the point at which the data are centred, that is the mid-way point. Since those earning lower wages are more numerous than those earning higher wages, then the average will always be a higher number than the median. The mode sits at the apex of the data, coinciding with the most frequently occurring number. For the 2013/14 statistics the mode was around £16,500 per year and given the distribution pattern it's going to be a lower number than the median and the average. You can see the mode of £16,500 is around 56% of the mean of 29,172, a very significant difference. In short, the use of average with non-Gaussian wages data will always give a more favourable number than the median and mode. This is important because the use of average in this case hides the income for most wage earners.
Does this really matter? Yes it does. If a democratic society is to have informed opinions then at the very least those who are elected to office should present a complete picture of what's happening in the country. We hear a lot about fake news – which is frankly, just stuff made up. The misuse of statistics however, is much more subtle. It can give an air of authority but also be perniciously misleading. Whether the politicians are spinning the statistics to suit their preconceived beliefs or whether they are just ignorant, I will leave to the reader to decide. In the meantime, beware of political statistics and remember Mark Twain.

False Advertising Lawsuit Claims This Almond Milk Brand Doesn't Have Enough Almonds

By Nolan Feeney
Updated: July 29, 2015 4:55 PM ET | Originally published: July 22, 2015 1:32 PM EDT
How much of your almond milk is actually made from almonds? A new false advertising lawsuit against Almond Breeze maker Blue Diamond alleges it's far less than the packaging would have you believe.
Blue Diamond doesn't list what percentage of Almond Breeze is made from almonds in the U.S., but a U.K. Almond Breeze website says it's only 2 percent, FoodNavigator-USA reports.
The lawsuit, filed July 14 in New York, doesn't specify what percentage the average customer would deem acceptable for purchase, but it does say "upon an extensive review of the recipes for almond milk on the internet, the vast majority of the recipes call for one part almost and three or four parts water, amounting to 25-33% of almonds."
Plaintiffs Tracy Albert and Dimitrios Malaxianis argue in the suit that the product's packaging, which includes pictures of almonds and the phrase "made from real almonds," deceives customers into thinking they're buying a product made mostly from almonds. The lawsuit also claims "that consumers allegedly purchased the product based on the belief that it was a healthy and premium product," food law attorney David L. Ter Molen told the site.
When the issue came up in the U.K. three years ago, its Advertising Standards Authority said customers likely understood how much water was needed to create almond milk: "We considered that, whilst consumers might not be aware of exactly how almond milk was produced, they were likely to realize… that the production of almond milk would necessarily involve combining almonds with a suitable proportion of liquid to produce a 'milky' consistency."
In a statement to TIME, Blue Diamond said, "The primary ingredient in nearly all popular beverages including coffee, tea, soda, juice and sports drinks is water. Cow's milk is 85% to 95% water and the same can be said for most soy and almond milks which is why our brand is not alone in responding to recent claims."

Survey Shows Broad Misconceptions About Gluten


The crew from Niner Bikes has been a little quiet on the hardtail front lately. There's been plenty of action in full-squish land, with new RIP 9 Alloy and JET 9 Alloy models having been announced over the last nine months or so.
It isn't that Niner has forgotten hardtails though, as the Colorado-based brand is arguably best known for its lightweight steel, alloy and carbon fibre 29in hardtail frames. The SIR 9 – last updated in 2013 – is a classic Niner model, with the versatile steel frame having first risen to popularity during the early days of 29in mountain bikes.
In 2017 however, many geometry, component and frame standards have moved on – and so has Niner. Looking to bring all of those enhancements into a curvy Reynolds 853 steel frame, Niner has just opened the curtain on the brand new SIR 9 hardtail.
It's still steel and 29in, but the new SIR 9 from Niner has a whole load more versatility built into it.
"There's a new bike in town. Built to last. Built to not let you down. When you're out climbing the steeps, bombing down the hills or grinding it out for hours on end, you need a bike you can trust, a bike built by hand using good, old fashioned, air-hardened, heat-treated steel. That's right, steel. And not just any steel. The king of steel. Crowned with the numbers Eight. Five. Three. As in Reynolds 853 steel tubing. A material so strong and lightweight that bike lovers have penned hundreds, if not thousands of paragraphs about its fine ride quality. Ride it and you'll learn why…steel is real" – From Niner Bikes.
Now designed around a 120mm travel fork too.
RRP: Frame looks like it'll be around £1200 or so, with SLX builds from £3000. More details as UK prices are firmed up.
High quality Reynolds 853 tubing with some lovely features.
So the SIR 9 is still made from steel, though Niner is keen to point out that it isn't any ordinary steel. Using Reynolds 853 air-hardened steel, the SIR 9 frame employs some gorgeous tube manipulation to give it a much more sophisticate look amongst much simpler steel hardtails. There's also a lot of finer details present in the SIR 9 frame, so lets take a closer look.
Like the hollow welded chainstay yoke that features a reinforcing plate inside.
One of those details is the bottom bracket junction, which is centred around a PF30 shell. This large diameter shell offers a bigger tube junction for extra strength and stiffness, with more surface area for the the downtube and seat tube to join with. For the chainstays, Niner has developed a rather complex hollow yoke that is welded from two forged halves into a single unit. This increases strength and welding surface area.
Combined with Boost hub spacing, Niner has been able to build the SIR 9 with impressively short 427mm chainstays while providing clearance for up to 29×2.4in tyres or 27.5×3.0in tyres.
Tidy cowled dropouts update to 148x12mm spacing.
The frame itself uses beautifully cowled dropouts that are made from forged steel. A small detail, but one of quality. Spacing out back has been updated with a 148x12mm Maxle thru-axle, and Niner provides riders the option of both a geared or singlespeed drive-side dropout.
There are geared or singlespeed dropouts available.
Mounts for ALL OF ZE BAGS.
With everyone wanting more versatility these days, Niner has been sure to outfit the SIR 9 frame with as many mounts as possible. There's bolts for fitting up to three bottle cages (two inside the main triangle, and one underneath the downtube), and a plethora of other bolts allow for frame bags, pannier racks and even a top tube-mounted bento box to be used. For the off-road bikepackers out there, the SIR 9 frame looks to have it covered.
Updated trail geometry puts an emphasis on descending fun times.
The new SIR 9 also features updated geometry, with the frame down designed around a 120mm travel fork, compared with the 80-100mm fork recommended for the old frame. The head tube has been slackened out accordingly, and more of the wheelbase length has been shifted to the front centre (distance between the BB and the front hub), for added stability.
Along with the dual wheelsize compatibility, frame bag flexibility, and geared or singlespeed options, the new SIR 9 has gotta be one of the most versatile hardtail mountain bikes on the market. Niner has given it a trendy name too, calling it a "Do It Most" bike. By that they mean the SIR 9 won't do it all, but it'll do a whole lot for those who are into trail riding and off-road bikepacking. Or at least, that's what the marketing guff says.
The new SIR 9 will be available shortly, and there are a few provisional UK prices above. In the meantime, get in touch with Jungle Products for more information on the SIR 9 and the wider Niner range.
Ta. Bit silly really – it's not as if Niner/Jungle won't know this information!
How is single speed accommodated? No eccentric BB and no sliding drop outs?
There is a "Bio-centric" EBB option.
Nice looking frame but the paint/decals are a bit meh.
I really like the colour/style. If my Chameleon doesn't turn up soon I like the look of this. Probably too expensive I would guess though.


I have installed IPE deck about 4 months ago and need to know which stain would be best between the TWP 1500 series VS TWP 100 series. Since the wood is new, i have let it weather for 4 months and will be staining for the first time.
I am looking to re-seal my deck of pressure treated pine which is approximately 9-10 years old. The last stain I used was a Behr semi-transparent product that started to break up after one winter. I was told that the wood was probably still too wet after cleaning (applied cleaner and pressure washed). I should have waited 5-7 days instead of 2.....hmm! What do you recommend? I just sanded the surface to remove most of the stain....what's next?
As long as the wood is free of previous coatings and cleaner, you should be okay to proceed.
I striped my mahogany deck do I have to do anything else to prepare to restain?
2. No the Behr needs to be removed do the TWP can properly penetrate and adhere.
1. Do you know the color of your product that most closely matches Behr Antique Brass color?
2. If there are areas that have some Behr semi-transparent left, can i stain over these areas with TWP 1500?
I have a redwood fence. Its new wood never before stained and want to know what to apply.
RonJBell, yes you need tint if you want UV correction. Use the TWP 1500 for this. It has all you need.
I have a new, unassembled cedar pergola kit. I want to preserve the natural color and structural integrity of the cedar. Is it true that sealers have to have dyes/pigments in order to prevent UV discoloration to gray? Should the product have silicon, oil, pigments, dyes, insecticides, fungicides, etc. What do you recommend?
Chase, they last about the same. The 1500 has a higher solid content so it may give a little better UV protection.
If I am in Minnesota looking at staining new wood, what product would you recommend the 100 or 1500 series. I am not sure I understand the difference between the two products other than VOC rating. Does the 100 hold up better?
Terry Glenn, you can only use the 1500 for CA. It does stain and protect the wood.
Should I use 1500 or 100?
I have totally removed all the previous stain and sealer and sanded down to a clean surfaceThe brand of the previous stain is unknown. Can either TWP 100 or TWP 1500 be used to stain and protect ?
Lou, after sanding prep with the Gemini Restore Kit to "open" the grain of the wood so the stain will absorb better.
I'm about to stain a covered porch deck that is composed of tongue/groove cypress, most of which is over 50 years old, some of which is brand new. the entire surface is being hand sanded with an orbital sander. I was considering using TWP 1503. What do you suggest?
Jim Fleming, TWP would not be suggested for a Mahogany door.
I need to refinish the exterior front door on my home. The door is mahogany and mahogany veneer. It is 8.5 years old. The top half is in good shape but the lower half is severely sun damaged. I have totally removed all the previous stain and sealer. The brand of the previous stain is unknown. Can either TWP 100 or TWP 1500 be used to stain and protect the door?

Chinese Crypto Startup Bottos Creates AI-focused Blockchain Platform in Move to End Data Monopoly
November 29, 2018 ICO
On November 28, at the 'East Tech West' conference held in Nansha district of Guangzhou, China, Xin Song, the CEO of Bottos (a Chinese startup) expressed his intention to put an end to the monopoly of the tech giants such as Amazon and Facebook on data.
With this aim in mind, Bottos has created an artificial intelligence (AI) focused Blockchain platform. This platform caters digital marketplaces with models and data in order to train the AI-based programs. These AI programs are further connected to the users, as well as networks in order to calculate power and data storage.
According to Xin, with the help of Bottos platforms, the AI models are capable of allotting crypto tokens in lieu of the data from entities with the help of its data marketplace.
"Currently, almost all the big data are controlled by the industry giants, and for the small to medium companies, it is very difficult for them to get the data. We are trying to break the data monopoly situation currently," remarked Xin.
According to Xin, the transparent nature of Blockchain technology can help attain some kind of data equilibrium. Due to the Blockchain technology's traceability and transparency, there will be a willing contribution to the individual data.
On the basis of the cryptographic nature of Blockchain platform, this system is considered to be a gigantic database storage space across various computer networks. This makes many to consider blockchain platforms—a safe and secure platform owing to the cryptography it involves. Cryptography assigns a unique alphanumeric code to every user. This unique alphanumeric code is considered as a digital signature for every transaction that is made.
Cryptocurrency has seen several ups and downs since December 2017. Facing the significant lows that dipped below $4,000 in early November, it finally saw a 15 percent hike in the rates after seeing the embarrassing low of $3,500 at Thanksgiving this year.
The decreasing rates saw the world's largest cryptocurrency- Bitcoin face 80 percent fall at one point, from its all-time high. But finally, on November 28, there was seen a rise in rates which was much awaited. Yet Bitcoin, XRP, and Ether, the three largest cryptocurrencies of the world, are still struggling with an 80 percent, 90 percent, and 91 percent dip respectively, since the reported all-time highs.
The cryptocurrency market has faced an almost $700 billion loss since the recorded high of January as per the reports by the CoinMarketCap data. Yet this extreme volatility couldn't touch Xin Song, the CEO of Bottos.
"I think with more and more people adopting Bitcoin and other crypto tokens, then more and more usage will be adopted by people," said Xin at the conference.
On the other hand, a firmer reaction towards cryptocurrency was seen by some governments like China. The controversial practice called an initial coin offering (ICO), was banned in Beijing last year. The government also saw a ban on local Bitcoin exchanges.
On the contrary, as per the Bottos business model, firms are rewarded in cryptocurrency in exchange for data. Xin hopes that the company's AI-focused blockchain platform will take Bottos to newer heights.

Flame Group of Companies
Africa construction
Zambia construction
Egypt construction
Flame's influence in Zambia has seen numerous peripheral successes over its first decade, epitomised by an ever-growing portfolio of builds comparable to the very best in the country
Taking Pride in Projects
Project Manager: Stuart Parker
After enjoying unprecedented success in Zambia throughout its first four years of operation, Flame has spent the subsequent six diversifying, innovating and expanding as it looks to cement its status as one of the country's leading market players.
Incepted in the country in 2006, the aim of the Group of Companies was to replicate its reputed Egyptian operations to a relatively traditional and slow-moving market; a plan which came to fruition far quicker than the organisation, and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mohamed Salama could have anticipated.
"The opportunity in Zambia arose from the idea that we could transfer skills capacity from Egyptian artisans to local labour here, and in 2006 we completed our first building, Finsbury Park," he recalls. "Before then, everyone was building to very traditional brick and mortar methods without much concept of aesthetics or new building materials that were available internationally.
"We saw this as an advantage in setting up a construction company in Zambia, and after one project, everyone was really amazed by the quality of our workmanship."
Placing concerted emphasis on the design and build approach in the early days, Flame's reputation quickly grew in the country; being earmarked for 13 new contracts by the time it had finished its first project.
The double-edged sword of success even became too much by 2010 as demand exceeded resources, but following a subsequent stabilisation since 2012, the Company can now look back at an initial nine years of operations which has seen the business rise from zero to $180 million in turnover, while looking forward to a sustainable future in the region.
Following the two-year difficulty in catching up with its own success, the market issues faced by Flame in more recent years present a different array of challenges in regards to staying innovative and ahead of the industry curve.
Within six months of introducing new processes and materials to the Zambian market, competitors had followed suit, while a Chinese influx into the construction domain further challenged the attainment of projects.
Salama explains: "We could not remain or rely on being a main contractor because the work coming in began to reduce a bit. So what we did is diversified."
This diversification occurred across four main areas, the first of which being a more streamlined target market for its construction works, and an enhanced focus on more niche and upper-level projects.
"Second to that was the development of our contractor support unit," the CEO adds. "We are now happy for another contractor to take a main contract, and for us to then support them by supplying certain materials or by doing certain work under them as a sub-contractor."
Having been very successful in the market, this method has been the opening to numerous lucrative business partnerships - including with global construction giant, Lafarge - which has subsequently set the tone for the third arm of Flame's diversification plan.
"We have become an agency for international brands - mostly European - looking to sell their products into Africa," Salama continues. "Some people in Africa are ignorant to Europe and European products because they are afraid of the cost, but we have shown that the products are actually more cost effective in the long run, so we have created awareness for contractors by being an agent for companies like paint manufacturer, Caparol DAW in Germany.
"We want to continue to merge with manufacturers and suppliers moving forward and see our power coming through there."
The final diversification has further encouraged faith and trust among significant industry relationships in the region, by boasting specialised machinery within its still-thriving construction activities.
"We have two or three pieces of machinery here in Zambia where we are the only people in Africa who have them or who operate them, which is good for us in the market when people see us using the most advanced technologies," the CEO affirms.
Adapting and reacting to industry challenges has had to become an attribute engrained into Flame's continuous improvement strategy, having initially faced issues surrounding logistics and shipping within a landlocked nation, and, more pressingly, skills shortages.
Cultural, health and political constraints stunted the development of artisans in Zambia in the 1990s and early 2000s, leaving companies like Flame to resurrect the personnel infrastructure themselves, as Salama notes: "In 2006, when I started Flame it was one of the weapons I had intended to use to penetrate this market, in building the capacity of local artisans or local labour by using hands-on training programmes on the sites.
"This has proven to be tremendously successful, bringing in an Egyptian artisan to build capacity with the locals, train them and be the pace-setter for their growth in line with our quality control standards."
Once again suffering as a consequence of its own innovation, Flame has since had to face retention challenges with competitors also making the most of the Company's labour initiatives but, once again, the Group has reacted through the introduction of the Flame Centre for Excellence.
The installation of academic education into its labour force, to complement the core industry skills development, has often been repaid by enhanced loyalty, while more niche training has also been introduced through its agency arm; teaching people the benefits of specialised products so they can then market them to the wider Zambian sector.
All of these peripheral considerations and adherences culminate in what have been Flame Construction's biggest achievements to date, in the form of the projects themselves.
With the partnerships, contracts, materials, personnel and supply chain strategies in place, the turnkey offering that the Company is able to provide has been epitomised by builds such as the Radisson Blu Hotel.
"Secondly, we also built the Robert Makasa University for the government in the north of the country," Salama adds. "When we started this project, there was absolutely nothing in that area, but now that the project is complete, we have trained more than 2,000 people and have changed the economy of the area completely, from extreme poverty, no supplies and not even a filling station, to today where the government has declared it the capital of Muchinga Province and construction is taking place almost everywhere."
The complete structural, architectural and mechanical engineering of the Nkana Mall is further evidence of Flame's expertise; this time adopting a continental integration approach by engineering all facets of the three-storey building in Egypt before transporting them for erection in Zambia.
"We take great pride in all of these completed projects as well as current existing projects we're working on," the CEO says. "We are adding an extension and putting four hostels up for a university in Lusaka which will be completed by the end of the year, while we're also working with Alstom Grid on two electrical substations and are co-tendering with an Indian company for the construction of a Methanol plant in the south of Zambia.
"These construction projects will not only fulfil our revenue targets for 2015 but also for the first two quarters of 2016."
Flame's success is all the more impressive given the ongoing imbalance within the industry and country at large, which places even more pressure on the Company to find differentiators on which to leverage.
Salama says: "Quality delivery, honesty, customer satisfaction and the building of relationships are what set us apart, as well as the promise that, after we have completed a project, we will be with you for the next three years to maintain or replace anything at no cost."
The use of European materials further compounds this successfully alternative approach to construction works in Zambia, as well as the diversification that has been achieved through the introduction of its contractor support unit and agency business.
In regards to the latter, the Company now aims to expand its influence as a trading commodity in Zambia, while also looking to Zimbabwe as a way to kick-start its international progression.
Salama concludes: "Other than that, our goal is to minimise the amount of labour we have in the construction company but to train the employees we do have to very high standards, as well as rewarding them very well also.
"In the long-term, we will look to complete our new development projects arm which revolves around build-for-rent and build-for-sale projects. Substantial land has been acquired already and it is another way that we can diversify in the future."


It looks like I clicked the shutter on this Lechmere-bound MBTA PCC set at the old elevated North Station platform just as the low winter sun reflected off the windshield. Hopefully the folks in the neat old building across the tracks liked trolleys!

Texas has gained national acclaim for closing prisons while achieving declines in crime that exceed the national drop. Since 2005, crime has fallen 33.4 percent in Texas while the incarceration rate has declined 16.6 percent.
How did it happen? In 2005, the state launched a grant program whereby probation departments could receive additional funds to reduce caseloads if they adopted graduated sanctions to respond to technical violations like missing appointments and using alcohol or other drugs. Graduated sanctions, such as increased reporting, curfews, electronic monitoring, and weekend jail, are designed to promote compliance and thereby reduce the number of people revoked from probation to prison for technical violations. Then in 2007 Texas lawmakers opted against building new prisons and instead adopted a justice reinvestment package, which included expanding drug courts and substance abuse and mental health treatment programs to which judges could divert people to instead of prison.
Since then, Texas has closed four lockups and, with more than 6,000 empty beds, pending House and Senate budgets call for closing at least two additional prisons, saving tens of millions of dollars. However, these budgets also include cuts to adult probation that threaten to stop this trend from continuing. The cuts are based in part on a faulty assumption that fewer people will be on probation in 2018 and 2019. The budget conference committee members must rectify this.
Texas has been down this road before. In 2003 facing a revenue drop due to a recession, Texas lawmakers cut probation by 20 percent, which was immediately followed by a spike in people being sentenced and revoked to prison. Why is this? First, if probation caseloads are unmanageable and there are waiting lists for treatment beds, prosecutors and judges will opt for prison instead of probation. Second, probation officers supervising 250 people instead of 125 people don't have the bandwidth to impose graduated sanctions to bring the probationer into compliance.
There are two primary sources of a probation funding shortfall. First, correctional population projections from the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) on which the budget is based assume that there will be 4,000 fewer people on felony probation in fiscal year 2018 than in 2017. This is used as the basis of a $6.7 million annual cut to basic adult probation funding in both budgets.
Yet, the LBB report notes that placements and term lengths are trending slightly higher and acknowledges that because data was unavailable at the time, they did not count people being supervised by probation as part of a pretrial diversion program that Harris County started in 2016. Under this program which has 1,600 participants and is growing by 200 a month, people charged with a first-time state jail felony offense for possession of less than a gram of drugs are not convicted or sentenced if they successfully complete a year-long supervision and treatment regimen which is operated by the probation department.
This program has reduced the number of offenders choosing a short time in state jail over many years of probation, because they have the incentive of no criminal record if they complete it. Second, recidivism rates are two-thirds less than those for similar offenders discharged from state jail. Indeed, Harris County is effectively being penalized despite accounting for 55 percent of the 2,482 statewide decline in state jail admissions between 2014 and 2016.
The other pending hit to adult probation is that both budgets fail to fund a projected $22 million biennial increase in health insurance costs for current and retired probation officers. Unfortunately, probation is legally obligated to cover these costs and these increases simply track national trends.
The impact of the basic probation and health insurance funding shortfalls is dramatic. Harris County's probation caseload size will spike from 160 per officer today to some 260 per officer in August 2018. In contrast, state parole caseloads are less than 80 per officer. County probation director Teresa May rightly warns that prosecutors and judges will simply opt for state jails and prisons if probation caseloads preclude adequate supervision.
Texas has saved billions and become safer by thinking outside the cell. Now, state leaders must act to write the next chapter in this criminal justice success story.

Alamo Ranch is the sixth top selling master-planned community in the U.S., according to a report by John Burns Real Estate Consulting LLC.
The far west side community sold 600 homes in 2013 and 585 homes in 2014. Because the community is still growing and kept its net sales high, Alamo Ranch moved up from the No. 10 spot last year.
Alamo Ranch is a large community of more than 3,000 acres located by Loop 1604, State Highway 151 and Culebra Road. The developer of Alamo Ranch is locally based Galo Properties, which broke ground on the project in 2006.
Like most master-planned communities across the U.S., Alamo Ranch saw a slight dip in home sales. The Irving, Calif.-based real estate consulting company said overall, fewer homes in master-planned communities across America sold this year compared to last year either because there were delays in lot availability or because those communities are close to being built out. The top 20 communities in the U.S. had a 12 percent drop in year-over-year net sales, the report showed, from 15,338 to 13,200.
Houston had the most top-selling master-planned communities on the list. Those communities included Riverstone, Aliana, The Woodlands, Cinco Ranch, Wildwood at North Pointe, Woodforest and Cross Creek Ranch. For a full list of top selling communities, look at the chart below.

El Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas, también conocido como Ferrocarril de Caleta Coloso a Aguas Blancas, era una línea ferroviaria chilena existente en el Desierto de Atacama, en la actual Región de Antofagasta.

Historia

Antecedentes
Mediante una ley del 7 de enero de 1882 se autorizó a Juan Basterrica, Juan Carlos Vera y Francisco J. Miranda para construir y operar durante 30 años una línea de ferrocarril entre Antofagasta y las oficinas salitreras del sector de Aguas Blancas; al no haber podido iniciar la construcción dentro de los plazos estipulados, una ley del 10 de enero de 1884 prorrogó el inicio de obras en dos años. Incumplidos otra vez los plazos, una ley del 4 de septiembre de 1888 canceló la concesión.

Un año después, un decreto del 29 de octubre de 1889 solicitó propuestas para construir el ferrocarril, mientras que el 31 de diciembre del mismo año fue aceptado el proyecto presentado por Jorge Phillips. El 8 de abril de 1890 un decreto fijó la trocha de la vía en 762 mm mientras que el 31 de diciembre de 1890 fueron aprobados los planos del trazado. Dicha concesión también fue caducada al no cumplirse los plazos señalados y el 22 de enero de 1894 le fue concedida una concesión a Carlos A. Watters para construir el ferrocarril a Aguas Blancas, la cual también caducó por incumplir los plazos.

Construcción y operación
Luego del fracaso de las anteriores concesiones, la sociedad Granja y Domínguez recibió el 28 de diciembre de 1898 la autorización para la construcción y operación del ferrocarril, mientras que el 26 de enero de 1899 fueron aprobados los planos definitivos y el 21 de mayo de 1901 fue habilitada la Caleta Coloso como puerto menor y punto de término de la vía férrea. El 23 de julio del mismo año fue inaugurada la vía entre Coloso y la oficina Pepita (98 km), y el 15 de octubre de 1902 fue entregada oficialmente al servicio.

En enero de 1909 la «Compañía Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas» adquirió el ferrocarril a la empresa propietaria original («Ferrocarril Caleta Coloso») y se convirtió en una subsidiaria del Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia (FCAB). Si bien formaba parte como una especie de ramal del FCAB, el Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas no estuvo conectada a la otra línea hasta que se hizo una conexión de 10 km entre ambas en las cercanías de la estación La Negra en 1911.

En 1906 la longitud total de la red del Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas era de 162 km, mientras que hacia 1928 la extensión total ya alcanzaba los 281,8 km. Con la construcción del ferrocarril Longitudinal Norte, el Ferrocarril Aguas Blancas cruzó dicha vía a la altura de la estación Aguas Blancas.

Hacia 1958 el Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas poseía 6 locomotoras, 3 coches y 362 carros de carga. Los últimos tramos existentes del ferrocarril fueron cerrados en junio de 1961 y sus vías levantadas.

Trazado
Hacia 1910 el Ferrocarril de Aguas Blancas poseía las siguientes estaciones:

John Coleman KUSI, Weather Ch,WLS , dies at 83
Eat News posted a topic in General TV
KUSI is reporting that Weather Channel founder and KUSI weatherman has died at the age of 83. http://www.kusi.com/longtime-kusi-weatherman-john-coleman-dies/ John Coleman Beats KUSI News Set to Death. SAN DIEGO (KUSI) — Founder of The Weather Channel and longtime KUSI weatherman, John Coleman has passed away at age 83. According to his wife, Linda Coleman, the meteorologist passed away Saturday night at his home in Las Vegas surrounded by family. Coleman was born in Alpine, Texas in 1934. He was still a student at the University of Illinois when he got his first job at WCIA in Campaign, Illinois hosting a local bandstand show and reporting the evening weather. Coleman was later the first weatherman on "Good Morning America" at its premiere on the ABC network in 1975, and he went on to found The Weather Channel, which launched in 1982. After leaving The Weather Channel, he went to WCBS in New York, then WMAQ in Chicago, before moving to San Diego. The meteorologist joined the KUSI news team in 1994, becoming the first weatherman on it's newly created morning show. Coleman retired in 2014 after 20 years at KUSI and nearly 61 in the new business. The meteorologist was national known for creating The Weather Channel and was honored by the American Meteorological Society as Broadcast Meteorologist of the year in 1983.

BETA EQU (Beta Equulei). Among the only reasons to tout this star is Bayer's Beta designation, as we try to accommodate all the Beta stars. As is fairly common, the constellation of Equuleus, the Little Horse, is dominated by the Alpha star, fourth magnitude Kitalpha, while Beta does not come up to par. Number two is Delta Equ, followed by Gamma, and then in fourth place, up comes fifth magnitude (5.16) Beta. If you thought (if anybody thinks to think it) that Beta Piscis Austrini was neglected, try this one, with a sad 27 professional references over the past century or so. On the surface, it's just another class A (A3) dwarf, yet one with its own small interest. At roughly 9000 Kelvin, Beta Equulei shines at us from a distance of 101 light years (give or take 3) with a luminosity of 75 times that of the Sun -- nice and bright for its class. That gives us a radius of 3.6 solar and (given an equatorial rotation velocity of at least 49 kilometers per second) a rotation period under four days. The mass falls between 2.4 and 2.5 times that of the Sun depending on the exact state of evolution, which in any case is near the end of the hydrogen-fusing line, really rendering the star a subgiant, the age about 600 million years. In spite of the pathetic number of references, Beta Equ has two things to recommend it. First, like Vega and Fomalhaut, it's surrounded by a dusty disk that by itself suggests planets (though none have been found). Second it has a swarm of faint (12th-14th magnitude) companions, Beta- B through E, whose separations range from 39 seconds of arc to 94 seconds away. All of them, however, are moving too fast relative to Beta-A, and are thus clearly just line-of-sight coincidences. Curiously the CD pair may indeed be a real binary, though little is known, and nobody seems to care -- in line with Beta Equulei proper.

Watch His Wife's Amazing Reaction
As Ray Comfort evangelizes to these people, some will stay, and some will go. See how the Gospel offends and challenges their hearts and minds. For some, it becomes so uncomfortable that they have to stop the interview. As you will see with Ray's new friend, Angel will acknowledge his need for a Savior. Watch as he hangs onto every word and gives it his full attention. Ray brings Angel through the law and leads him to the Hope of Christ. As Angel surrenders his life to Christ, his wife, listening from the side gives a heartwarming reaction. Sharing the Gospel has its challenges, but today was the fruit of Angel's wife's many prayers. We hope you are both encouraged and excited to get out there and share the Gospel.
What Does His Body Language Show?
As Ray Comfort witnesses to this atheist, he notices something interesting about his body language. His mouth will say one thing while his body reveals another. As you can see with Ray's new friend, the atheist gets uncomfortable when brought through the law. The law has stopped his mouth, bringing knowledge to his ever-suppressed dilemma. The unregenerate mind finds God's moral law offensive. Atheists don't want to be told what to do. Accepting that God exists would mean they must admit that they have to address their beloved sin. By this Atheist reflecting on his sin, he realized his fallenness before a Holy God. By bringing someone through the law, they can see the weight of their sin and their dire need for the Savior. Ray will present the gospel and explain the only hope in this dying, decaying world.

Eagles practice squad (LIVE UPDATES): 9 players added following final cuts | Alex Singleton, Marcus Green, more
Philadelphia Eagles wrap 2019 NFL preseason with 6-0 loss to N.Y. Jets
By Mike Kaye | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
The Eagles have started to assemble their 10-man practice roster.
Following the close of Sunday's waiver wire, the Eagles have been working the phones to construct a strong practice squad.
Here are the nine players who have been added to the Eagles' 10-man practice squad so far:
LB Alex Singleton (NJ Advance Media)
The former CFL star is headed back to Philadelphia. The Eagles cut Singleton after strong training camp and preseason performances. With the Eagles' depth situation at linebacker, Singleton could be the next man up if there's an injury before Kamu Grugier-Hill returns to the lineup.
TE Alex Ellis (NJ Advance Media)
The well-traveled tight end is staying in Philadelphia and could be on the team's main roster by game time on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Ellis was a late arrival to training camp but still impressed the coaching staff and front office enough to be one of the team's final cuts. Ellis should be in prime position for an eventual promotion, as the Eagles have gone light at the tight end position on the 53-man roster.
RB Boston Scott (NJ Advance Media)
The second-year running back will get another shot at playing for the Eagles. The pint-sized runner/returner will continue to develop behind the likes of Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard, Darren Sproles and Corey Clement. Scott has a similar style to Clement and Sproles, which is why he was signed last season during the squad's playoff push. He could eventually be the successor to Sproles.
WR Marcus Green (NJ Advance Media)
The speedy wide receiver was waived by the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. The rookie was drafted in the sixth-round by Atlanta but injuries marred his summer. He will serve as a developmental deep threat in practice. He also could be in line for an eventual promotion as a returner. His signing is pending a physical.
Buy Redskins vs. Eagles tickets: StubHub, SeatGeek
QB Kyle Lauletta (His agent)
The former Giants quarterback will serve as the development arm on the Eagles' practice squad. Former fifth-round pick Clayton Thorson will be passed over for Lauletta, who flamed out of New York after one season. The former fourth-round pick could be the second-coming of Nate Sudfeld. He has an excellent opportunity to learn from Eagles coach Doug Pederson. Sudfeld and Josh McCown are set to become free agents next year.
OT Sua Opeta (NJ Advance Media)
The Eagles brought in Opeta as an undrafted free agent in May. The Weber State alum played guard and tackle for the Eagles during training camp. His versatility will help the Eagles in practice moving forward.
TE Josh Perkins
The Eagles called the waiver wire's bluff. They were able to stash their third and fourth tight ends on the practice squad entering Week 1. Perkins has been the team for the last two seasons, so he has a strong shot of being claimed up to the main roster in the near future.
DT Bruce Hector
The Eagles traded Hector to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for safety Rudy Ford two weeks ago. Ford made the Eagles roster, but Hector failed to earn a job in Arizona. Now, he's back on the practice squad and is the fifth defensive tackle in the building.
WR Greg Ward
The preseason standout wasn't able to make the 53-man roster but is now back on the practice squad. After spending three summers in the Eagles' offense, Ward has a strong knowledge of the playbook. If there's an injury at wide receiver, Ward could be elevated.
The Eagles have one more spot remaining on their practice squad as of Sunday.

Kabaria, B.B.; Goyal, S.N.; Jose, V.T.; Shah, A.H.
Six pigeon pea varieties (Pusa ageti, BDN-1, BDN-2, Bhadbhoot, Nylon and T-15-15) were sown on 6 dates (1 July, 15 July, 1 August, 15 August, 1 September and 15 September 1983 and 1984 in Gujarat, India. Damage to pods and grains by Heliothis armigera and Melanagromyza obtusa, resp., was determined at harvest. The maximum yield was obtained following sowing on 1 July. The Nylon and Bhadbhoot varieties had the least damage and greatest yield in areas where H. armigera was the main pest.
