It isn't too often that I stumble on a house like this. This extremely intact beauty is located in Highland Township in far northeastern Winneshiek County and was abandoned some seventy-five years ago. Highland Township was once brimming with Norwegian-built log houses, barns and granaries, but unfortunately so few remain today. That said, Highland still retains some pretty amazing trademarks. Highlandville, with its old schoolhouse, general store, campground, and Bear creeks attract untold numbers of outdoor enthusiasts. Just east of town down Quandahl Road is an amazing log and timber framed barn, and further down sits the ruin of the town of Quandahl.
This house was built entirely with oak timbers, measures 16′ x 20′, is one and one half stories in height, and has logs that extend to the peaks of the gables. The corners are joined with full dovetail notching and the spacing between log courses is minimal. The house is transitional between the two room stue and forstue plan and the larger three room akershus plan, but pigeonholing something like this into a rigid classification does little to describe the house. The main entrance is centered on the longitudinal south elevation. Being a Norwegian-built house we'd expect a window placed next to the door, but who knows, maybe the lowly builder forgot. The door enters into the nearly square main room, or stue, and a small rectangular room exists to its left and forms the western 1/3 of the building. In long ago Norway this small rectangular room would have been divided into two, with the southern room (the southern half of the rectangular room) unheated and served as the primary entrance to the building (with the exterior door along the west gable facade). The other northern sub-room would have served as a living quarters or pantry. See Overland House for what I'm talking about. In the case of this house, the rectangular room likely served a multi-purpose function as both pantry and sleeping quarters. The staircase to the second floor is located in the far northwest corner of the building, just north of the (shorter) northern wall of the rectangular room. The lean-to off the north facade was constructed sometime after 1920.
So much of the original house remains! The building is sided with wood clapboard fastened with square cut nails. The windows are four light sashes and were installed sometime between 1870 and 1890. If they aren't original (which they probably aren't) they likely replaced earlier twelve light hung sashes. Inside, the walls were never plastered over, and instead were whitewashed with a lime-water pancake batter-consistency mixture. Many of the original interior doors remain, including one spectacular example made of vertical boards keyed together with dovetailed horizontal splines. I've seen just a handful of these doors over the years, and they're always marked with superior craftsmanship. Much of the original mid-19th century mass-produced hardware remains, too. Notice the amazing door latches? The upstairs is divided into two rooms by a partition wall that runs north-south. Both the wall and the ceilings are sheathed in tongue and groove pine boards painted a beautiful sky blue.
The house's location well off the road has likely spared it from vandals and the match. It sits amongst a grove of mature walnuts and white oaks, and is buffered on its west by a craggy clump of red cedars. To its south sits a few-acre pond with dense forest beyond.
An amazing setting! A mature white oak with west and south house elevations. The front porch was added in the 1980s or 1990s when the house was reroofed.
Exposed logs inside attic of 1920s lean-to addition. Notice the dovetailed corner notching.

Hi Paul, so is this someone's place or for sale or just a lovely place to admire? I love what you're doing!
Amazing! Now I see the lime white wash. I'm actually pretty surprised that there isn't more by way of conservation, as I had (wrongly) thought that all historic stuff in America is treated as precious.

MONTPELIER, Vt. — An insurance program to help hard-pressed dairy farmers is expected to be ready for enrolment in June, the U.

We're retiring earlier and living longer so we need more money to fund longer retirements.


There was a lot of news out of China last week–stock markets tanking, interest rates being cut, etc–so it's understandable that some other interesting developments slipped through with little notice. This one is worth highlighting as I think it may well mark the beginning of an important longer-term shift in China's labor market and policies: the State Council lowered employers' required contributions to two social insurance programs, injury and maternity insurance, a move it said would save firms 27 billion renminbi a year (see the China Labour Bulletin for an English-language summary). Yes, I know this sounds boring and technical, so why is it important? Because it starts to address one of the biggest but least-known issues in China's job market: the very high costs employers face to hire workers.
It is not a very well-known fact that China has some of the toughest labor regulations in the world, and some of the highest required contribution rates to social insurance programs. As a result, the "labor wedge"–the percentage of the total cost of an employee that comes from things other than wages–in China is around 45%, as high as in a number of European countries (this is according to an estimate by John Giles in a World Bank paper; see chart below).
China's urban social insurance system carries heavy burdens for both employers and workers, and may carry significant implications for China's long–run competitiveness. Moreover, this high implied labor tax wedge likely encourages informalization of the labor market: employers under-report wages and game the system in numerous ways, while workers have incentives to opt out of participation in social insurance schemes. As in other developing countries, high mandated contribution rates provide strong incentive for employers to evade compliance through the use of labor dispatch services and under-reporting of employment and wages.
Social contribution rates, which are high and very regressive, should also be reduced as they distort the labor market, make growth less inclusive, and favor informal over formal employment.
So economists have for years been flagging this issue as an area where "structural reform" is needed. Having a relatively high cost of employment should, other things being equal, discourage employers from hiring. But there's been little evidence that this was in fact a real problem over the last few years–instead, it was much more common to hear complaints and anecdotes about labor shortages. So the very high rates of social contributions did not seem like they were imposing much of a cost on the economy: the job market stayed tight and wages continued to grow rapidly. While high hiring costs may have lowered employers' demand for workers relative to what it otherwise would have been, this effect was not big enough to seriously affect the balance of the labor market.
That has all changed in recent months, as the economy has continued to weaken. With employers finding growth in demand for their products continuing to soften, it's hardly surprising that their demand for additional workers is also softening. Public data on China's labor market is limited, but there is much labor data that is collected but not published, and this seems to have been enough to get policymakers worried. The State Council has warned of "growing pressure on employment," and rolled out a whole series of measures designed to assist the unemployed, such as tax breaks for hiring new workers, cheap loans for small businesses, and support for laid-off workers to start their own companies. The most recent of these moves, the small cut in some social insurance costs, may indeed be a needed reform, but, as is so often the case, the timing of reform is being driven by the economic cycle.
We therefore seem to be at a tipping point in the labor market that is causing the government to look again at the cost-benefit analysis of its labor policies. And as China's economic growth continues to slow in coming years, I expect the costs of its current set of labor policies will become increasingly apparent. So the balance of its policies should shift more toward encouraging employment, and preferring higher rates of enrollment in social insurance programs to higher benefit levels. European countries have often been criticized for preferring labor policies that reward people who already have jobs at the expense of people who want jobs. China's latest move is a clear if marginal shift in the other direction: it would prefer that 27 billion renminbi not go to improve the welfare of people who already have jobs, but instead be spent on hiring new workers.
The fact that China is moving relatively early to make this adjustment–before there has been a big increase in unemployment–to me is a hopeful sign that it could be more flexible in navigating this transition than some other countries. That may not be the most obvious conclusion, since China is after all a Communist country that one might expect to have a strong ideological commitment to social-welfare institutions. But the "socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics" of the past three decades has in fact never been particularly keen on socialist labor market institutions, as a whole host of workers' rights groups will tell you.

Christiana Care wins ECRI Institute award
ECRI Institute announces 2016 Healthcare Supply Chain winners
ECRI Institute creates Ebola Price Index
Hot topics for 2016
Christiana Care Health System has won ECRI Institute's 9th Annual Health Devices Achievement Award.
The award recognizes an outstanding initiative undertaken by an ECRI Institute member healthcare institution that improves patient safety, reduces costs, or otherwise facilitates better strategic management of health technology.
The winning submission, Best Practices in Telemetry Management: Re-defining Use While Maintaining Patient Safety and Reducing Costs, describes Christiana Care's successful effort to reduce the overutilization of non-intensive-care cardiac telemetry throughout its health system by redesigning its cardiac telemetry processes.
The intent of the initiative was to improve patient safety, allow clinical staff to focus on their patients' direct care requirements, and help staff use healthcare resources more wisely.
A multidisciplinary team led by Robert Dressler, managing director, vice chair, department of medicine, set a goal of reducing the use of non-intensive-care cardiac telemetry by 20 percent within 12 months.
The team's efforts resulted in a 43 percent reduction in the total number of patients on telemetry and a 47 percent reduction in average telemetry hours, with no adverse impact on patient safety—results that have been maintained a year after implementation. These improvements resulted in a 70 percent reduction in total telemetry costs for the health system, for an estimated annual savings of $4.8 million.
Christiana Care's outstanding telemetry management study was recently published as a Research Letter in the September 22, 2014 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine.
"We are honored that ECRI Institute has recognized the innovative systems-based approach our team took to improve the value-based care Christiana Care Health System provides non-ICU cardiac telemetry patients," said Dr Dressler. "Championed by Cardiology, our team brought together the expertise to enhance the effectiveness of our bedside clinicians and nurses as caring partners for our patients."
ECRI Institute's James Keller, vice president, health technology evaluation and safety, added: "We congratulate Christiana Care for its winning initiative. The team did an outstanding job of demonstrating how to safely control and actually reduce the use of telemetry monitoring. A major benefit of this initiative was to reduce monitoring-related alarm fatigue, which is a serious problem in healthcare institutions. This project is an excellent model that healthcare organizations nationwide can adopt."

It's been one year since the 2017 Women's March. Last year following January 21, 2017, I could hear rumblings and tremors in the air for what felt like months. The earth felt like it was in the midst of an aftershock. Unlike a lot of causes where there is excitement followed by a lull, the Women's March fueled and fanned a conflagration. It ignited voices, hearts, feelings, passions, and unity.


For me today was about standing up for the rights that have been fought for by our ancestors that Trump has pompously disregarded and disrespected. It was about equality, equality for people all over the world: women, LGBT people, refugees, migrants, disabled people, the Muslim community, the Black community. Trump's election threatens the rights of all of these groups and more, so I felt urgently that I had to be there.
The crowd at the women's march against Trump in London was wonderful: in the freezing cold, people walked together with a fire in their bellies. Three teenage girls got a chant going, screaming at the top of their lungs. 3-year-olds with determined faces held banners. Cheers rippled across crowds of thousands of people. I'd say it was about 80% women, mostly young, but ranging from newborns to old age pensioners. The feeling was one of defiance and ferocity. People are angry – understandably. I missed the speeches because there were so many people; despite being there half an hour early we couldn't get close. This was frustrating, but it was brilliant that there was such a great turn out.
I spoke to my fellow marcher and we discussed what marches like these actually did, if anything. It's easy to feel gloomy in times like these, when it feels like we are going backwards. But looking all around you at people who are passionate and choosing to spend five hours in the freezing temperatures with feet like raw blocks, that feels good. I think today gave those that are discriminated against a great deal of hope. Hope counts for so much, and can be incredibly powerful if focused and organised. I'd sure as hell prefer to be angry with like-minded people on the streets of London than at home on the sofa.

312 Graham Avenue has undergone quite a few changes. Italian restaurant Barosa was there for several years, followed by Trattoria 312, another Italian eatery. The latter lasted less than a year, serving its final meals last summer. Taking over the space is New American restaurant Gwynnett Street, offering the neighborhood an upscale dining experience.
Each table receives whiskey soda bread, which, if you're not a whiskey lover, should be eaten slowly because the bread tastes so strongly of the alcohol. The restaurant emphasizes good drinking and offers a full bar of cordials, amaros, whiskeys, scotches, beers, liquor, and wines from all around the world.
The menu includes nine items, consisting of large and small plates. There's a spinach and rapini salad, which comes with pine nuts, warm egg yolk, onions, and lemon thyme vinaigrette. The rapini, a cousin of broccoli, is covered in sea salt, and is best when dipped in the vinaigrette. Another starter, the walnut soup with pears and sunchokes, is a dream for lovers of that nut. The pickled walnuts, which taste like Balsamic, add the kick of flavor the soup needs. Other appetizers are oxtail with cream of potato, Maitake mushroom, and fresh cheese dumplings with carrots, grape must, and smoked macadamia nuts.
One of Gwynnett Street's standout dishes is their wild salmon, which is perfectly cooked and comes with quince mustard, cracked barley, turnip kohlrabi, and lemon verbena. The roasted and chewy quince blends well with the soft salmon. The dishes at the restaurant are full of different tastes and textures, meaning your meal will never be boring.
For dessert, try the honey apple crisp, which is soft and chewy and makes for a perfect autumn sweet. It goes well with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or an after dinner cordial or amaro.
Gwynnett Street will be open for brunch in around three weeks and are also planning to offer a late night menu and signature cocktails. Currently, it's a strictly dinner menu, and the average three-course meal will cost you $30-$50 per person.

NATO will proceed to construct its navy capabilities and make use of a "large mixture of various instruments" to counter Russian aggression, however it would not purpose to "mirror" its rival energy, the group's chief advised CNBC Sunday.
"NATO's method to Russia relies on what we name a twin observe method, protection and dialogue," NATO Secretary Common Jens Stoltenberg advised CNBC's Hadley Gamble from Brussels.
"And that is precisely what we do once we now have applied the most important reinforcements of our collective protection because the finish of the Chilly Struggle, and can proceed to strengthen our collective protection with excessive readiness, extra troops, and elevated funding in our protection."
He added, "And after years of chopping protection budgets, all our (members) at the moment are investing extra. So we're not going to reflect what Russia does. However we are going to reply in a really agency and clear manner, with a large mixture of various instruments, as we've got demonstrated during the last years."
The feedback come forward of an anticipated summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Geneva on June 16. They comply with Putin's interview with NBC Information aired Saturday, throughout which the Russian chief mentioned that the U.S.-Russian relationship "has deteriorated to its lowest level lately."

"However we are going to ensure that we're responding to new Russian navy buildups, together with with nuclear weapons," he mentioned. "And we're doing that in many various methods, together with by strengthening our air and missile protection … and likewise by in fact pursuing arms management and that is a part of the dialogue with Russia."
'Sanctions are vital'

The Russian authorities denies all the allegations.
"Maybe a very powerful factor we've got carried out is that for the primary time in NATO's historical past, we've got combat-ready troops within the japanese a part of the Alliance," Stoltenberg mentioned. "New battle teams are deployed to the Baltic nations and Poland, we've got tripled the scale of the NATO readiness pressure."
Navy buildups
Russia has amassed an enormous navy buildup within the Arctic, in line with satellite tv for pc imagery, and is creating a brand new 'super-weapon' referred to as the Poseidon 2M39 torpedo, which has sparked concern amongst Western officers. The unmanned stealth torpedo, powered by a nuclear reactor, is designed to get previous nations' coastal defenses by way of the ocean ground.

Russian authorities spokespeople have rejected any hyperlinks between their nation and the hack.
However in an indication that it might be anticipating extra sanctions, Russia's finance minister introduced earlier in June that the nation is chopping the U.S. greenback from its $186 billion Nationwide Wealth Fund as Washington continues to impose monetary penalties on Moscow.
"The messaging is 'we do not want the U.S., we needn't transact in {dollars}, and we're invulnerable to extra U.S. sanctions'," senior rising markets strategist Timothy Ash mentioned in a analysis observe after the announcement.
'Not one thing I fear about'
Biden struck out with a daring affront to Putin in March, calling him a "killer" throughout a televised interview, to which Putin responded, "Once we characterize different individuals, and even once we characterize different states, it's at all times as if we're trying within the mirror."
Requested once more over the weekend about Biden's "killer" remark, Putin mentioned. "This isn't one thing I fear about within the least."
"We're not looking for battle with Russia," Biden mentioned previous to the summit.
"We wish a secure and predictable relationship… however I have been clear: The USA will reply in a strong and significant manner if the Russian authorities engages in dangerous actions."

Real Networks Is Back To Whip Your Home Movie Collection Into Shape
Andrew Tarantola
Filed to: CloudFiled to: Cloud
RealPlayer Cloud
Real Networks
Sharing video in the mobile age is still just as clunky and labor intensive as it was in the desktop era. Sure, uploading it to YouTube or Facebook is easy enough—but there are few decent options for sharing them directly with only a few select people. And god help you if you're trying to share content across platforms. But a new freemium service from Real Media aims to eliminate the hassle of uploading and sharing video altogether.
Dubbed RealPlayer Cloud, this service integrates cloud-based video storage with universal sharing capabilities. It's designed to facilitate seamless sharing and online storage for all of your non-DRM protected video. It's actually quite slick.
So, say you take a short video of your cat doing something cute on your new iPhone 5 and want to share it with family and friends. Traditionally, you'd either have to upload the video to YouTube or Facebook and mark it as private, or dump it into a shared Dropbox folder, or—if it were even small enough—email it as an attachment. Those are all a major pain to accomplish, especially for a nine second clip of a prank you pulled on your co-worker (or whatever). Instead, says Real Networks interim CEO Rob Glaser in a press release, "we've made video easy."
Rather than demand that end users perform the video encoding before uploading the content, RealPlayer Cloud uses SurePlay technology to do it automatically in the cloud. It even optimizes the encoding process so that you can play back the video while it's still being uploaded. And when the content is shared to someone running a separate OS—say, Android—the RPC will automatically match the downloaded or streamed content to the device type and codec, while adapting the feed to the available bandwidth and screen size. What's more, anybody you share the content with is free to download it directly to their device for offline playback.
The RealPlayer Cloud is available on a number of platforms: iOS and Android, phones and tablets, Roku, Mac and Windows desktop—there's even an in-browser function for folks that don't want to bother installing the dedicated mobile app.
The new service will offer 2GB of storage free for members, though bandwidth is limited to sub-1080p quality for free accounts. Better quality video and bigger lockers will be offered on a subscription basis. As Jeff Chasen, VP of Product and Software Development told Gizmodo during a recent demo:
We're gonna have a plan that gives you, basically 25 gigs, 100 gigs and 300 gigs, for different price tiers. They're gonna be $4.99, $9.99, and $29.99. Not only do they give you more storage, but they also give you higher profiles, video profiles, so you can get a higher resolution. So if you start with an HD for one, the higher tiers will give you higher quality so you can play on a big screen TV and it will look great. The free accounts basically we have three profiles, we go up to 1.5mbps, so pretty close to HD but not quite.
I also had an opportunity to watch the system in action and, despite my initial suspicions (Real Networks, are those guys even still a thing?) I came away very impressed. The cloud-based service is fast—I could start watching a video that was only half uploaded without issue—and it takes the guesswork out of converting and sharing video, which is exactly what it was designed to do.
And while you could pair this with a YouTube-slurper to download copyrighted movies and content, that shit's illegal—so don't. Instead, the RealPlayer Cloud could become a potent compliment to Google Chromecast. Use the Chromecast for your streaming needs and the RPC to handle your local video content. Sure, you'll need to have a Roku installed on your TV for that to work, but it definitely beats crowding the family around a tiny tablet screen.

posted on 03/09/10 03:41 pm by Fr. Paul Hansen, C.Ss.R.
In the 'good old' Catholic tradition we used to hear sermons and read reflections on the Seven Deadly Sins. Remember them? Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Gluttony, Anger, Envy and Sloth. In fact we still hear about them. Once in a while the Globe & Mail newspaper makes comments on the list and tries to put a post-modern interpretation on it.
1. Politics without Principle 2. Wealth without Work 3. Commerce without Morality 4. Pleasure without Conscience 5. Education without Character 6. Science without Humanity 7. Worship without Sacrifice.
When I reflect on these social sins of Gandhi's concern, I cannot help but think of the power and rule of money and greed. We are constantly being told that "there is no alternative" to the way that the economic order has been organized. There is a fundamentalism in the land, both in the field of economics and religion, and both are very dangerous. Someone once said that a politician is someone who thinks only about the next election, whereas a statesman or stateswoman thinks about coming generations. We have had too many politicians who so often play into the shady side of most of us. Then again, perhaps every generation gets the type of politician it deserves.
Years ago I read all the literature I could find on a subject called: The Holocaust Theologians. I thought that I could find some insight here into deadly social sins and I did. I read Elie Wiesel, Hannah Arendt, Emil Fackenheim, Etty Hillesum to name but a few. I especially liked the writings of Irving Greenberg and Marc Ellis. Here were scholars and artists reflecting on an event in human history that is really beyond all reflection and imagination. But the Holocaust does raise major questions about God and the future of humanity— the children and generations to come.
According to Irving Greenberg, the victims of the holocaust ask us above anything else " not to allow the creation of another matrix of values that might sustain another attempt at genocide." After Auschwitz we can speak only of "moment faiths," instances where a vision is present, interspersed with the "flames and smoke of burning children" where faith is absent.
Believers should never forget Dostoevsky's assertion that the suffering of children is the greatest proof against the existence of God; and we must ever contemplate the awful Day of the Lord, the coming destruction of our wealth and security, the razing even of the bastions of our faith, the temple levelled and YHWH gone.
For without justice, there is no God.

Shelley's designs begin and end with color. Bold color always invites her designs to unfold into joyfully graphic patterns and whimsical designs. Each piece is carefully hand-painted with multiple layers of underglaze, every color often receiving between 3 and 4 coats to achieve the vibrancy she desires. Pieces are fired multiple times using glazes and often gold and opalescent overglazes, resulting in a wonderful depth and richness. No two pieces are ever exactly the same, although, pieces within a design series are all created to mix and match designs and colors, allowing you to put together a unique set of your own. Pieces are dinnerware and dishwasher safe for your enjoyment. Due to the firing process there may sometimes be a slight variation in color.


Youth finds potential, gives back to community.
Ray was placed into care as a toddler, along with his older sister because they were living in an unsafe home. Unfortunately, his first foster home was not much better, and after a short-term living arrangement with his grandmother, Ray was placed into the Marymound Treatment Foster Care program when he was three-years-old.
He faced many challenges through his first family and after nearly 10 years, his trust and anxiety issues still remained. It wasn't until his third family that Ray would begin to realize his full potential.
Through a culturally-appropriate and nurturing family, he began to trust again and feel safe to speak his mind and become optimistic about his future. Initially, Ray was treated as if he had ADHD related challenges, but with his third family, demonstrated that he functioned above his peers and wanted to accomplish many goals.
Ray feels very fortunate to have his current foster parents. "They motivated me to help me reach my potential, while accepting me for who I am," says Ray. His foster parents always reassured him that he is part of the family– now and in the future.
While in high school, Ray volunteered at the YMCA and Manitoba Children's Museum. He graduated with above average grades, and went on to complete an electrical trades program and obtain a Level 1 Apprentice designation.
But Ray's learning didn't end there. He recently began a journey to learn about his cultural heritage (something he had no interest in a few years ago) and this led him to alter his path to explore his true passion: helping his community. Poverty issues, politics, working with children in care, and community development consumed him.
He volunteered with the West Broadway Neighbourhood Association in July 2017, helping with community gardens while learning and growing from the experiences of other workers. The following month, he began volunteering for a political party citing their views of helping children in care as reasons for his support.
Ray entered the University of Winnipeg this September and remains motivated to pursue his passions. He also has a great capacity for learning and discussing policy responses to social issues, particularly those impacting children in care and marginalized young people. Ray has read books on sociology and other related fields to help him get a better understanding of the field in advance of his studies.
When not volunteering, Ray has always had a part-time job. He currently works at a major grocery store where he received a modest promotion. He has shown great resilience to overcome the obstacles of his early childhood neglect through learning to work hard and rely on his sister and foster parents for support.
Ray is mature beyond his years and takes a great interest in discussing people, society, his experience in care, and how he thinks the world could be improved. He is very interested in learning new ideas and has a 'dream board' of hope to help clarify what he wants in the future.
He is very introspective and reflects on his difficult past experiences and traumas, trying not to be angry because he wants to 'move past it' while at other times, he wants help to work through his challenges.
The goal of Marymound's Treatment Foster Care is not making placements, but rather, it's about helping children like Ray find nurturing, 'forever' families and a sense of belonging.

Corey Dillon, a retired professional NFL football player and native of Washington State, has been arrested for spousal abuse this week. According to early reports, the 35-year-old athlete and his wife, Desiree, were involved in a domestic dispute at their home on Saturday night after Desiree called police for assistance. When police arrived, they observed that the woman had apparent minor injuries and was the victim of domestic violence and spousal abuse.
Reports say that Dillon and his wife were fighting over their impending divorce and child custody case at the time the domestic assault occurred.
Dillon, who early in his football career was a star player for the Washington Huskies and Franklin High School in Seattle, was arrested and then released on $50,000 bail. This is not Dillon's only recent legal woe: last month he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He has yet to face either charge in court.

What you need to know about Idaho Falls waterfall: What you don't want to miss
June 10, 2021 1 min read admin
The Idaho Falls falls, located in the western part of the state, has been called the "golden waterfall".
It is the second most popular waterfall in the US, after the Niagara Falls.
The falls are often visited by the public and locals who are known to take selfies at the falls, which are also popular among tourists.
In the early days of the city, the waterfalls were used for water sports, and the water was also used for gambling.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the city built a bridge across the falls and the river to ease traffic and traffic noise.
The city later removed the bridge and replaced it with a bridge that connects to the nearby Boise Falls.
Today, the Falls are open to the public, but they are closed to visitors for the winter months.
According to the Falls Association, the main waterfalls in the city are the Pecos Falls, The Peco Falls, and Little Falls.
There are two other cascades: The Cedar Creek and the Cedar Falls.

74-De-Registered parties Threaten Legal Action Against INEC Over Refusal to Recognize Them
by Kenechukwu Ofomah
The 74 political parties de-registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that had their recognition restored via a judgment of the Court of Appeal, are threatening to secure Order of Mandamus to compel the electoral body to obey the court order in their favour.
Kenneth Okafor, Chairman of the 74 de-registered political parties, who disclosed this position after the group's meeting in Awka, Anambra State, on Tuesday, revealed that there was no justification by INEC, not to restore recognition of the de-registered parties.
Okafor, who spoke through the Secretary of the group, Uzor Chukwuemeka, a lawyer, also threatened to sue INEC, praying for cancellation and nullification of the November 6, 2021, even after it had been conducted and winner emerged.
He frowned at the fact that, despite having written the Commission and submitted list of the Chairmen of the 74 de-registered parties restored by the Commission, the electoral body had shunned it.
According to him, "INEC is fond of disobeying court orders. The Commission has not gone to court to apply for Stay of Execution on the Court of Appeal judgment, meaning INEC is not acting according to law. The implication of INEC not applying for the Stay of Execution, is that the Court of Appeal judgment stays, until there is a variation from the Supreme Court."

Zone your presidential tickets to the south – southern, middle belt leaders tell political parties
He continued; "But since the Supreme Court has not said otherwise that the Court of Appeal judgment of the five-man jurists led by the President of Court of Appeal be set aside, so INEC is acting ultra vires. If INEC feels it does not want to obey court orders, it is acting unconstitutionallly and ultra vires by de-registering 74 parties."
Okafor further said "the judgment still stands affirmatively until there is vitiation from a court of competent jurisdiction, thereby returning the then de-registered 74 political parties their inalienable right to exercise their fundamental right, that is freedom of association as enshrined in Chapter IV, Section 40(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
While advising INEC to stop what he tagged 'their political gymnastic and jamboree' which is not healthy to the country's democracy, Okafor called in the Commission to obey the pronouncement of order of the court in the strictest sense, in restoring all the 74 political eto their website and programme.
The factional Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC Chairman warned the rival group parading themselves as the Council's leadership at the state and national level, "to retrace their steps and join the moving wagon of IPAC to elevate IPAC to its enviable height."

Statement on the Importance of Constructive Dialogue
In a diverse university community committed to rigorous inquiry and free expression, disagreements — intellectual, political, ethical, or otherwise — will inevitably arise. At UCLA, my hope is that we do not feel threatened by differences of opinion but instead view them as opportunities to engage and learn from each other. With faculty, students, and staff hailing from all over the world, UCLA affords all of us the benefit of encountering, considering, wrestling with, and responding to ideas we have never come across before, even those that make us uncomfortable.

Spring in Hexacta started off on the right foot with the third Open Space, a meeting where participants selected the topics to analyze and they worked on the risks of Scrum and how agile methodologies can be adapted to different areas of IT.
Recently, the third Open Space of the year was held at Hexacta's offices in Las Cañitas. It was leaded by Pablo Pecora, manager at Hexacta and Scrum Coach, and around 30 people attended, including lawyers, coaches, marketing specialists and other professionals from different disciplines.
During the meeting, the attendees had the opportunity to select from an extensive list of topics, the ones that they wanted to work with during the meeting. "The risks that exist in Scrum" was one of the topics selected and analyzed, bearing in mind that even though this is an agile methodology and it is in its nature to take account of recent past experiences and react to them, it is not possible to make future predictions based on potential circumstances.
On one hand, participants agreed on the importance of preparing for possible contingencies in projects, so they socialized particular experiences that are useful to define and analyze risks. One of these ways was to identify the risks making a 'retrospective' and keeping track of them.
On the other hand, the group pointed out that the Scrum team should define the risks; it is not the exclusive responsibility of the Scrum Master or a particular person. In this respect, the risk analyst should also focus on tasks and projects carried out by the Scrum team.
Taking advantage of the variety of profiles gathered at the Open Space, another of the themes treated was "Agility out of IT", how to apply and implement agile methodologies beyond the field of Information Technology (IT) to maximize its advantages to improve the productivity of businesses. In addition, the Agility outside of IT and the Lean Startup were related, that is to say, how to use the agile methodology in Startups, based on the principles of learning, validating and measuring learning.
To end the meeting, some of the experiences of the participants were taken into account and they shared tips on how to use Scrum and Kanban in teams that are not IT and how these methodologies could be successfully (or not) adapted to different organizational cultures.
Open Space: What is it about?
The Open Space is a format of talks and open participation, the main advantage of which is its dynamic and involved generation of the event's agenda. While such meetings are long lasting, Hexacta's Open Space are designed to last no more than three hours, during which participants work from one to three topics of their interest.
The Open Space is designed as a space to share knowledge and experiences around the agile world, in which some of the issues primarily treated are agile methodologies in software development, project management, in continuous improvement of production equipment, organizational change, leadership and motivation.
Hexacta encourages these encounters and provides the place to make them possible. They are open and free for all interested. If you want to watch the third Open Space, click here.
