Starting on January 8, 2018, the River Town Film Festival will begin to accept film submissions for their 2018 event.
CLINTON TOWN – Starting Jan. 8, the River Town Film Festival will begin to accept film submissions for their 2018 event. From documentaries to shorts and narrative feature films, filmmakers from around the globe are encouraged to participate.
The River Town Film Festival will span three days — opening Friday, Sept. 7 with screenings of short and feature-length films (narrative and documentary) and continuing throughout Sunday, Sept. 9. The closing ceremony will be capped by a rock and roll performance by The Orchestra, starring former ELO members.
The festival will take place at the Red Mill Museum Village, an iconic Hunterdon County fixture in Clinton Town, along the South Branch of the Raritan River.
The continuing theme of the festival is to explore community through film, art and music. The films accepted often have an abstract association to community yet harness the potential to deepen awareness and insight by inviting dialogue and relationship.
Last year, the festival featured community found in films about human trafficking, the foster system, a rural community in New Mexico where the only thing to do is eat pie, and even about the elves at the North Pole.
A nationally recognized panel of distinguished film industry professionals will review selected submissions and determine the winners. They include Ernest Thompson (Oscar-winning screenwriter of "On Golden Pond"); Executive Producer Marc Rosen (Sense8); Marc Reid (CFO of Lakeshore Entertainment); TV writer Lynne Litt ("Lost," "Law & Order," "The Practice" and "NCIS New Orleans"); Virginia Longmuir (EVP of RatPac Entertainment); and producer, director, actor and composer Allan Nichols ("Dead Man Walking," "The Player" and "Saturday Night Live").
From Best in Show and Audience Choice, to Best Short and Best Feature, there are some exciting awards that up and coming filmmakers can win during this high-energy festival.
Also, the River Town Film Festival committee is presently considering the recipient of this year's Ernest Thompson Community Engagement Award, which is given to a celebrity that gives back significantly to their community.
A short drive from New York City and Philadelphia, downtown Clinton makes a wonderful weekend getaway. This award-winning town exudes such an extraordinary level of community spirit and its main street is lined with locally owned restaurants, boutiques, one-of-a-kind stores and a contemporary art museum. Surrounded by rolling hills and a beautiful countryside, Clinton draws visitors from all over the globe.
Film entries will be accepted through June 30, with early-bird discounted submission fees until March 8, regular submission fees until June 6, and late submission fees for films submitted thereafter until June 30. Filmmakers can submit their films for consideration through festival's website.

Myakka River State Park - Wag!
Planning a Fido-friendly Floridian getaway in the great outdoors? Then you'd be barking mad not to consider camping at Myakka River State Park! Located close to Sarasota, this pawesome park is ideal for those who want to stay in serene, natural surroundings without sacrificing too many of their creature comforts. The campgrounds have electricity and hot showers, a camp store, and a playing field, and some sites have full hookups.
The oldest state park in Florida and one of the largest, Myakka River is chock full of gorgeous scenery -- and the area around the campgrounds is no exception. Expect to be well shaded by palm hammocks, surrounded by live oak trees, and some sites even have views of a beautiful lake. There are three different spots to stay in: Big Flats, Palmetto Ridge, and Old Prairie. Palmetto Ridge has the most in terms of mod cons, Big Flats has a mix of primitive and hookup camping, and sites at Old Prairie are mostly primitive.
Cabins are also available, but unfortunately, none of them are pet-friendly. Dogs are also prohibited from the six primitive backpacking sites along the park's hiking trails. Sites start at $26 a night, and there's a $6 entrance fee to the park. It's best to book early, since Myakka is an understandably paw-pular destination for locals and tourists alike.
WiFi isn't available at Myakka River, but most cellular networks should receive at least some coverage. Fires are permitted, and drinking water is available at all three campgrounds. Remember to bring waste bags for your four-pawed pal, and have a grrr-eat time!


Happy New Year to this blog, which has sat ignored and neglected for nearly three months. I have been reading though! And since I haven't done a wrap up in ages, I figured I would roll everything into one. I've mostly been reading contemporary/romances because they are an easy way to get back into things, BUT I'm reading Daisy Jones & the Six right now and … I'm pretty sure it will be my favorite book of the year. In March. But that's for another time. Here's what I've read so far this year.
Shalini is 21 when she loses her mother, and 23 when she leaves her home in Bangalore to go in search of a man from their shared past. All she knows is that he lives in a village in the mountains of Kashmir, from the stories he told her when she was growing up. She goes in search of the truth about her mother and herself and enters a small town where political tensions and conflicts are running high. This book is just under 500 pages and while I would say it definitely isn't for everyone, it is a sad but beautifully written character study that portrays class, race, and family tensions extremely well. If you liked The God of Small Things, which is one of my all-time favorites, I think you'll like this one, too.
I read Leila Slimani's debut novel, The Perfect Nanny last year and really enjoyed how she built up so much tension and suspense in a book so short. She makes every word count in her novels, and I was pleased to see the same style carry over in Adele. The title character is 30-something and lives in Paris with her doctor husband and their young son. Sounds like a perfect life, right? Not for Adele. She's bored, and unhappy, and to fill the growing void she feels, embarks on a series of affairs. They're compulsive, and unfulfilling, but she can't seem to stop. This is another book that isn't for everyone: it can be graphic and unsettling and Adele is not traditionally "likeable" but I think that's what made her so interesting and readable for me. If you pick this one up, give yourself some time, because this is definitely a read all in one sitting kind of book.
If you've been here for at least a year, you know that The Hating Game is one of my absolute favorite books ever. I read it almost exactly a year ago, and have shoved that book at every person I know who reads, and proceeded to read it … an embarrassing amount of times myself. Anyway. Sally Thorne announced 99 Percent Mine late last year and I could not wait to get my hands on it. I devoured this sophomore novel in less than two days and then regretted it. It has the same witty dialogue I loved in The Hating Game and focuses on the "friends to lovers" trope. Definitely the opposite of THG, but just as delightful. I can't say I loved this one AS much, just because that is nearly impossible, but it's a great follow up, and I'll read anything else she writes… ever. Sally Thorne makes me want to write books, and that's probably the best thing I can say about her and her books.
If Sally Thorne reminds me what and why I want to write, Jasmine Guillory unfortunately did the exact opposite with this one. I really liked The Wedding Date last year, but the writing in her follow up The Proposal was just…not there for me. The dialogue between Nikole and Carlos is cringe-worthy. Not to mention they are always "laughing until they cried" without us ever getting a glimpse into what was making them laugh. Or laughing like that at things that simply aren't funny or written in a humorous way. This should have been a great "meet ugly" situation but I cringed all the way through and gave it something like 2 or 3 stars on Goodreads. If you're looking for a good romance recommendation, look up or keep reading.
I heard about this book and needed it immediately because I am a spoiled gremlin with no patience. So, thanks to NetGalley/Berkley Books for this one — it comes out June 11th so mark your calendars. I have seen You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle more times than I can count and more than is probably healthy, so I related to the rom-com-obsessed Annie in this book a lot. It's her dream to write one of her own, but she lives in a small Ohio town, and has no plans to leave it. When a romantic comedy films in her quaint town, a family friend pulls some strings to get her a job on set, and she meets the outwardly obnoxious star of the film. You can guess where it goes from there. I will say it got to be a little much with Annie's aggressive comparisons to Tom Hanks (She wants everyone to have a houseboat. Come on girl, I get it but like, let's be reasonable.) but overall, the love story was adorable, and the commentary on rom-coms and why we love them so much was great.
I hadn't heard about this book before coming across it on NetGalley. We follow Molly, who accidentally comes out in front of her entire graduating class at a party just before the start of her senior year. The girl she meets there is charming and pretty and…she never expects her to show up at school on their first day. She's forced to come to terms with herself and her feelings and we are along for the ride. I think this will be an important book for people in high school who are questioning things, and I hope it finds them! The supportive friends in this book made it that much more readable and likeable for me.
The Simple Wild is my most recent read and definitely one of the best. Calla lives with her mom and step-dad in Toronto, Canada, and the book opens with her getting laid off from her boring job at a bank. The bad luck continues when she gets a call from Alaska, letting her know that the father she never had a relationship with has lung cancer. She flies to Alaska with a giant suitcase of designer clothes and makeup and feels like she won't survive the week-long trip. Along the way she meets Jonah, and while they get off on the wrong foot, she gets a lot less insufferable and spoiled as the book goes on. I loved this book, and how Calla grows and explores her relationship with her dad and with Jonah. The chemistry between them was so good and felt so real, and so did her uncertainty and grief about her dad. I'd seen this one compared to The Hating Game and The Last Song, which was spot on, looking back at it. Highly recommend this one if you're looking for a contemporary romance with more emotional depth.
Seven books in two months does not feel like very much, but is actually a ton for me lately, so I'm happy with it overall. Tell me about all the books you've been reading lately!
I have been in the biggest reading slump since January. Pretty much all I have read has been romances or a YA rom-coms. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to get into anything lately. Here's hoping that I break out of this slump soon!
Also, I agree with you about 99 Percent Mine. The Hating Game is one of my all-time favorites, and while I definitely liked 99 Percent Mine, it just didn't hit me like The Hating Game did. But like you said, I'll read anything Sally Thorne writes!
Yes! Romance is the best for getting out of reading slumps. If you haven't read A Simple Wild, I think you will really like that one!
Oh wow- what a bummer about The Proposal! I have but have been avoiding it because I heard similar remarks from others.
I've never read The Hating Game – but now it's definitely on my list! Thanks for the great reviews!

With the Siege of Petersburg stretching into its second month, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant sought to weaken the Confederate defenses by making a demonstration northward, toward Richmond. Late on the night of July 26, 1864, and into the next morning, Gen. Winfield S. Hancock crossed the James River with the Union Second Corps and two divisions of Gen. Phil Sheridan's cavalry. Gen. Robert E. Lee responded by sending two divisions to meet the threat, reinforcing the Confederate lines at New Market Heights and Fussell's Mill. On July 28, the Confederates launched a counterattack against Sheridan's men near the Darby house. The following night, July 29, the Hancock recrossed the river leaving a garrison to hold the bridgehead at Deep Bottom.

Agencies planning boost of weed control
Local agencies are planning to boost efforts to control noxious weeds and invasive plants in Wahkiakum County.
A variety of agencies make control efforts, including diking districts, the Wahkiakum Conservation District, the Wahkiakum County Noxious Weed Control Board and the county road department.
However, at a workshop with agency representatives and the county board of commissioners, all agreed they would like to see the county's noxious weed program take on a larger role.
Conservation district Manager Darren Haupt said his group would like to see a year-round program that would compliment their efforts. He suggested the county's noxious weed program, which is now limited in scope and budget, could expand activities and include work such as spraying roadsides, surveying weed populations, working for other agencies, and working with land owners.
Control of knotweed is one project that could benefit from the county's program, Haupt said. Knotweed is so difficult to control, he explained, and it will return to areas that have been cleared. His agency, he added, is involved in knotweed projects in the Elochoman and Skamokawa valleys.
Funding is becoming available to support weed control, Haupt said. For example, the US Department of Agriculture is expanding its funding, and Washington State Department of Transportation is short staffed and willing to work with local agencies for weed control along highways.
Tony Aegerter of Consolidated Diking District No. 1 on Puget Island supported the proposal, adding that he'd like to see efforts to educate landowners about weeds and weed control and get them to be part of the effort.
County commissioners were receptive to the proposal.
"I think there would probably be interest in the work you could be doing," said commission Chair Gene Strong.
It would be important to bring the varied agencies together, he added. If there's interest, the commission would need to know potential costs and funding sources.
The county once had a vibrant weed control program, said Commissioner Dan Cothren, but after changes in staff, program efforts diminished.
"You got to stay on top of it," Cothren said. "I think we're dedicated to staying on top of this thing. Yeah, let's start researching this thing.
"My question," said Commissioner Lee Tischer, "is, 'is there enough Andy (Lea) to go around?'"
Lea, the county's weed program supervisor, works part time in the position and operates a separate business of his own in the woods industry. His efforts are limited by budget and opportunity, and in the summer time, he is completely occupied. However, he said he thinks it's possible to expand the county program's scope.
"I can't speak for my board, but I think there's some support for increasing our effort."
The weed board, he added, meets quarterly, and its next meeting would be in July; perhaps they could have a special meeting to discuss possible expanded programs.
Lea suggested the groups could meet during the summer and continue discussions. Commissioners Cothren and Tischer suggested meeting earlier, toward the end of May.
"Let's keep connecting," Strong said, "so that when we come into budget time, we know where we're going"

I used to buy music, I even worked in music retail (1988 to 1991) selling music. Now, I don't know when was the last time I actually bought any music, maybe 5 years ago. On my phone, I have 577 songs, all have been downloaded from YouTube. I usually listen on "shuffle" which can make for interesting combinations serendipitously.
I find some of the music I used to like, bores me now (of the few tunes I removed from the device were Magnum and Bow Wow Wow).
I have favourited 19 tunes, these might not be my favourite songs but I just really enjoyed listening them, when they shuffled through.
he jury is still out!
I wasn't able to download every tune I wanted from Youtube for technical reasons, also some of the songs on my phone, I have just to see if I will like them like Foo Fighters and Mudhoney (the jury is still out). I also find I'm not too knowledgeable of post 2000 songs, so I'm sure to be missing a lot of good songs from recent times.
Just some musings on music.
Carbon Silicon are a band I've only recently discovered. Their frontman Mick Jones, I know from years back when he played with the Clash. I don't actually know him personally, but he was a regular customer, when I worked in Our Price Music in Notting Hill Gate (1989-1990). This tune I like because it reminds me a little of the Clash and tunes like "Bank Robber", it is also about good news, which seems quite subversive when we are constantly bombarded with bad news by various media outlets.
Shortly after waking this morning, I saw an old school-friend post on Facebook "David Bowie. RIP". My first reaction was to ask "is this for real?" I checked the BBC website and it hadn't broken there at that time. I Googled and saw it had been reported in the Hollywood Reporter.
The deaths of Elvis, John Lennon, Ian Curtis, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and just recently, Lemmy were all sad and shocking but I feel Bowie's death more keenly.
I never saw David Bowie live. I saw Lemmy three times (once with Motorhead and twice with Hawkwind). At 69, he wasn't particularly young, close to the three score and ten years of our allotted span. But I still feel in a state of shock.
Only yesterday, I was chatting with another friend on Facebook about Bowie's new album "Blackstar", which has only just come out.
Ok, I admit it, I enjoyed Eurovision last year, the show, the songs, the banter on Twitter and Facebook. I was disappointed The Linnets (Netherlands) didn't win, but once the bearded lady got her momentum, nothing was going to stop her. Eurovision 2014.
I intend to watch again this year. Georgia's entry "Warrior" by former model Nina Sublatti is a little scary and it is difficult to make out the words. I still hope she does well.
I haven't heard all the songs yet but of those I have heard my favourite is funky Guy Sebastian's "Tonight Again" from Australia. If Australia win it will be a shock for the geographically challenged. I've been teasing people on Youtube who ask why Australia is in Eurovision, by telling them that they won last year….yes I DO know Australia isn't Austria (one gave us Kylie the other gave us Hitler).
Eurovision is as much about politics as the music, Armenia's entry is blatantly drawing attention to the "Genocide" with their song "Don't Deny" (I wonder if Turkish TV will cut to an advert break when that airs) and Russia after the booing in 2014 has a song promoting inclusivity "A Million Voices".
The UK entry "Still in Love with You" by Electro Velvet sounds like a song from Chicago great for a party.
The UK doesn't have enough friends in Europe to score highly, everyone loves Sweden (even Denmark in the voting but not in football) so they'll probably win.
I came across this by chance, I teach a student called Lenka, I was looking for quiz questions connected to my students' names.
This is a quirky song and video with an almost op art backdrop, I really like it.
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear As free as a bird, as neat as a word As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh All I wanna be is everything As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth As deep as a bite, as dark as the night As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong As long as a road, as ugly as a toad As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be Bright as day, as light as play As hard as nails, as grand as a whale All I wanna be, oh, all I wanna be, oh All I wanna be is everything, everything at once Everything at once, oh, everything at once As warm as the sun, as silly as fun As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea As hot as fire, cold as ice Sweet as sugar and everything nice As old as time, as straight as a line As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be All I wanna be, oh, all I wanna be, oh All I wanna be is everything, everything at once.
Many Georgians, who discover I come from England tell me "You must like the Beatles, then." The Beatles are okay but I love the Rolling Stones.
My favourite track is "Paint it Black", the signature sitar riff is played by the late Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones combined blues with rock and roll and were hugely influential. The Rolling Stones remarkably celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2012.
I wasn't expecting to like this so much. It seemed an odd combination of musical talent. Rihanna, Kanye West And Paul McCartney. But for me it works, I really like it. And you?
*this post is not about the BBC TV programme, it just seemed a fitting title.
Both songs are very catchy, I find them running through my head often when I am on the metro or walking around town. They also both have pleasingly positive messages.
So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along.
The song shows an awareness of the Photoshop manipulation of fashion images.
It is an empowering song about embracing your natural body size, it is Meghan Trainor's first big hit.
The video is quite slick shot on a set resplendent in pastel colours, if an old English sheepdog were added to the mix, you could be forgiven for thinking it were a Dulux advert.
Taylor Swift, at 24, a veteran of the music scene, looks a bit more like a stick figure silicone Barbie doll.
Her new album "1989" was the fastest selling album on the week of its release (selling 1.287 million copies) since Eminem released the "Eminem Show" way back in 2002.
The message of the song seems to be that you have to not only live your life in spite of people who don't understand you — you have to have more fun than they do. Shaking off the criticism.
Both songs are highly catchy, almost insanely catchy, both singers look knowingly at the camera and there is some of the seemingly obligatory booty shaking, what I believe is known as "twerking", in both video clips.


Bedtime Stories: How This Book Was Made by Mac Barnett and Adam Rex.
So you think you know how a picture book comes into being? You may think you know, but you don't. I don't think you took into account the pirates, or the arm-wrestling tigers. Or the roaring fires of discarded drafts. No, you don't know how this book was made at all.
From the mind and hands of Adam Rex and Mac Barnett comes another clever and hilarious picture book. Mac Barnett writes with a number of talented illustrators but his work with Adam Rex is my favorite. I see this book as a companion piece to Barnett/Rex's 2012 picture book Chloe and the Lion which is another behind-the-scenes peek at the making of a picture book. Where Chloe looked at the collaboration between author and illustrator, How This Book Was Made looks at the process from inception to publication. In some ways, it really does explain how this book was probably made, though of course embellished and changed to make it interesting for children.
When Mac Barnett tells you his editor sent him back the first 20 drafts of the story, you can't help but believe that this was indeed the case. But whether or not he burned the other drafts to scare away the tiger bent on revenge cannot be confirmed or denied.
To take Mac's word on it, the process of getting the book from his original idea to becoming the copy in your hands is an incredible process! Adam Rex makes a valuable contribution, turning simple statements like "I found a quiet place to write" and placing the author at the top of a ladder on the top of a desolate mountain. Although Mac insists "it took the illustrator took a VERY long time to draw all the pictures" it was definitely worth waiting for his fantastic illustrations.
President Taft is Stuck in the Bath by Mac Barnett. Illustrated by Chris Van Dusen.
Boy, has Mac Barnett been on a roll lately! In fact, this is the second book of his I have reviewed in as many weeks. Based on a popular and neither confirmed nor unconfirmed legend, this book, as you may have guessed, is about President William Howard Taft who famously, or perhaps didn't, got stuck in his bathtub.
Most of the story is about his attempts to extricate him from this awkward situation. Call in the Secretary of War! What will he advise? (Dynamite!) How about the Secretary of the Interior? (The answer is inside yourself.) It's a fairly simple and straightforward story. I can hardly blame Mac Barnett for wanting to write about it. It's an interesting story and sadly for Taft, about the only thing anyone remembers about him. That's the other thing I like about President Taft is Stuck in the Bath: they address that by first introducing Taft with some of the important contributions he made as president and later by his advisers assuring him: don't worry. No one will remember this incident in 100 years. Which is of course precisely what most people remember about him now. Poor Taft. Did you know he was the only president to also serve as Supreme Court Chief Justice? Well now you do.
If you are sensitive to illustrations of naked people with strategically placed bubbles this book may not be for you. But as for my kid, he got a kick out of it.


The Atomic Radiation Regulatory Authority (Aera) has said all institutions dealing with nuclear technology in any form will be regulated.
Speaking ahead of Aera launch in Lilongwe, the regulator's acting executive director Victoria Kachimera said the move is expected to enhance sanity and safety in the industry.
She said if left unregulated, the impact of ionising technology could yield long-term harmful effects on human health, the environment and economy.
Said Kachimera: "These technologies are good for an economy because now we are talking about development of drought- tolerant crops being developed with radiation. If the trials were to succeed, you can imagine the benefits to the economy. But, ionizing technology can as well have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
In her paper, Investigation of the Status of Occupational Radiation Protection in Malawian Hospitals last year, Getrude Chinangwa and colleagues established that there is lack of implementation of basic elements of occupational radiation protection which is a result of the absence of a regulatory authority in the country as well as limitation of resources in the facilities.
The study recommended radiographers training in radiation protection, establishment of a regulatory authority in the country, consistent dose assessment, quality control tests and structural shielding assessment in these and probably all the diagnostic facilities in Malawi.
Chinangwa observed that radiation safety measures in radiological facilities will ultimately contribute to the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number three on good health and well-being as well as number eight on decent work and economic growth.
Aera was established through Atomic Energy Act Number 16 of 2011.

Q: 'for' loop and modulo I've just started to learn JS and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the basics behind the 'for' loop.
Example:
for (var number = 3; number % 7 == 0; number++)

Why doesn't it make sense? Why do I have to write it down like that:
for (var number = 3; ; number++) {
  if (number % 7 == 0)
    break;
}

Thank you for help!

A: You've inverted the condition. The middle part of a for loop tells you what must be true for the loop to continue. Your second version uses the same condition to decide when to stop.

for (A; B; C) { ... }

can be (mostly) rewritten as
A;
while (B) {
    ...
    C;
}

(The difference is that continue in a for loop will still execute the C part.)
Initially your number is 3. Then we do the equivalent of while (number % 7 == 0) { ... }, but that condition fails (3 % 7 is 3, not 0), so the loop never runs.

You probably wanted
for (var number = 3; number % 7 != 0; number++)

New Facility: Could This Be the Future of Plastics Recycling?
Published on November 11, 2015	Article updated on October 29, 2018
A Professor Plastics Feature Article
See Other Articles
You know I'm a big fan of plastics recycling. So I like to take the opportunity every year to celebrate America Recycles Day on November 15. This year, I'm really excited about a new initiative that may well be a harbinger of things to come in plastics recycling.
A very large plastics recycling facility is slated to open in Baltimore, MD. It sports cutting edge technology that has been proven elsewhere on a smaller scale. It will recycle types of plastics that are not widely recycled today. And it's not just for Baltimore—it's designed to collect plastics within a 500-mile radius across the East Coast and process approximately 4,500 tons of materials each month, more than double what is currently possible in the U.S., according to its backers.
That sounds… absolutely fantastic.
What's also really cool is who is backing the facility: a large source of funding designed to jumpstart recycling across the nation. The $100 million Closed Loop Fund, founded by ten of the largest consumer products companies (P&G, Walmart, Coca-Cola, etc.) provides zero and low interest loans to cities and companies that want to build new recycling facilities and projects for plastics and other materials.
By 2025, the Fund aims to divert more than 20 million tons of waste from landfills, eliminate more than 50 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and create more than 20,000 jobs. Its goal is to make sure that every U.S. household has access to a convenient and robust curbside recycling program.
The plastics recycling facility in Baltimore is the Fund's first project. The facility will have the capacity to divert 650,000+ tons of plastics from landfills, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 670,000 tons, which is equal to removing 136,000 cars from the road over the next ten years.
The facility's approach to recycling may well be able to significantly jumpstart plastics recycling rates, predominately by reprocessing large amounts of plastics that are not now readily recycled. While PET and HDPE bottles and containers—those with the numbers 1 and 2 in chasing arrows—are accepted in most recycling programs and have robust markets, other plastics are not collected as widely and may not have similarly strong markets.
The Baltimore facility uses technologies that can make it more economical for cities to sell these plastics in the market, which could considerably increase the amount of plastics recycled. What technologies? Primarily advanced, high-tech optical sorting. Instead of sorting large quantities of plastics by hand, optical sorters are able to "read" different types of plastics, and then send puffs of air to blow specific items into the correct stream. These streams of plastics that have been separated according to type can be much more valuable than streams of mixed plastics.
To be sure, optical sorting is not brand new—there are many types of sorters that already are being used at other recycling facilities. But the Baltimore facility also takes recycling a step further by processing separated plastics back into the raw material form of plastics—pellets—that are sold to companies that make plastic packaging and products. As the word suggests, plastic pellets are about the size and shape of dry lentils. Processing plastics back into pellets can further enhance the economics of the facility.
The combination of funding source, advanced technologies, and pellet processing are designed to make broader plastics recycling more economical. According to the Closed Loop Fund, facilities like this could be replicated across the nation – and beyond.
Sounds quite promising. We might just be observing the future of plastics recycling.

Silurian Period FACT FILE
The Silurian is a geologic period and system that extends from the end of the Ordovician Period, about 443.4 ± 1.5 million years ago (mya), to the beginning of the Devonian Period, about 419.2 ± 3.2 mya.
The Silurian Period started a mass extinction.
A marine transgression marked the end of the Silurian Period.
The Silurian is a time when many biologically significant events occurred. In the oceans, there was a widespread radiation of crinoids, a continued proliferation and expansion of the brachiopods, and the oldest known fossils of coral reefs. As mentioned earlier, this time period also marks the wide and rapid spread of jawless fish, along with the important appearances of both the first known freshwater fish and the appearance of jawed fish. Other marine fossils commonly found throughout the Silurian record include trilobites, graptolites, conodonts, corals, stromatoporoids, and molluscs.
The BBC Nature website has a very good section on the Silurian.

Call for United Action
ARTICLE | April 5, 2011 | BY Heitor Gurgulino de Souza
Heitor Gurgulino de Souza
Very warm congratulations on the new journal - it certainly has a role to play in today's world.*
Over the holidays I had an opportunity to read some of the well-written articles in the first issue of Cadmus. I also read and liked "OUR VISION" published on the second page in which you requested "my ideas" regarding this new endeavor.
WAAS completed fifty years in 2010, Club of Rome reached its fortieth anniversary in 2008, and the Pugwash Movement completed 50 years in 2007. I happen to be a Fellow of WAAS as well as a member of the Club of Rome and I believe all three organizations have done a very good job since their creation.
But my "new idea" is that the three organizations – WAAS, Club of Rome and the Pugwash Movement – should sincerely join forces and act together, so that we can fully utilize our collective experience, intellectual capacity and foresight. Together, we will have a much stronger voice to get our good messages out to the world and be listened to by policy makers, parliaments, governments, academics and all societies in general, in both the industrialized and developing economies.
If we really want to "Promote Leadership in Thought that Leads to Action" our three organizations should join our minds, our visions and our hands to accomplish it. Isolated, as we have been and still are now, we will not be able to do it as effectively as we can as a single body. And I know it will require much courage and a strong commitment from all in order to create a NEW and hopefully, much stronger endeavour for the future of all mankind.
I follow closely the university world. In Europe, up to a couple of years ago, there were two very similar European associations of universities, doing similar and parallel work for a very long time. They have finally decided to join forces and "merged". Today there exists only one European Association of Universities, which is much more active, objective, and efficient, with a much stronger voice in Europe, larger than the two earlier ones and already having impact across the world.
I know it will not be easy. Possibly it will mean a long journey ahead for us, but that is my "new idea" I wish to share with all of you. While that happens – and until it happens – I plan to continue to work and contribute to all, as much as I possibly can, within my "limits", and in my hopefully still long remaining years on our lovely small planet Earth.
In my ten years of living in Asia I have learned an oriental proverb that says: "for every long journey there is always a first step".
*. The ideas exposed above have not been previously discussed with my good colleagues, either from WAAS or from the Club of Rome

Current Page Parent Movie Reviews
All Images Used Under the Fair Use Policy
Both the lead actors effortlessly flex their muscles to showcase over-the-top yet entertaining set pieces. But that is achieved at the expense of the story as well as the backdrop of those past events. All of these plus the length of the film make it too much to bear. There is no doubt that the first half is good. The story is built up in a way that will engage you in your seat but the second half is a bit slow with poor narrative decisions and the climax is just horrible. Totally nonsense, unrealistic action scenes which do not help in any character development and are only possible in Indian movies.
| Also Read: BACHCHAN PANDEY Review
Akhtar's (or Bheem's) character is built well in the first half. We get to understand his goals as well as his motivations as he is trying to rescue his little sister from the British General who has forcefully brought her from the village. As for Ram's character, then we only get to see his goals in the first half and not his motivations therefore we get attached to Bheem more. The half ends with a near-perfect action sequence face-off between the two which brings on the interval promising something greater in the second half. Sadly, that promise never materializes. We finally get to see Ram's motivation in the second half which could've been decent if his actual plan would've been to slowly take down the British rule in India. But his actual plan is just to steal guns and give them to his people so that they can do the same thing through violence. That's the problem in the second half; everyone seems to take the path of violence to achieve something. Even when he realizes his flaw of sacrificing innocent people (including his friend) is wrong, it isn't fulfilled truly. This is because we are told in a way that he needs to save Bheem only because he can inspire more people for Revolution than him and not because of Ram realizing that sacrificing innocents is wrong.

Every man working for the Empire is depicted as only evil. Of course, the British reign in India had its moments of terror but they are depicted in this film as only ruling India because of torture and terror when in reality, the main reason was trade and resources. No, I am not defending any form of empire but an empire isn't about violence only. This makes the second film feel too cringe and cliche. As for the climax, then the manner in which the events were set up, let alone transpired, were just absolute trash. I am not trying to be rude because I had great expectations but it is what it is. Coincidences create stories but the sheer size of it in this story is laughable. After escaping the forces, Bheem takes shelter in a small village (he still thinks that Ram is evil and doesn't know that he is captured). This is where he meets Seetha who tells him Ram's true story and Bheem realizes that he has to save him. Remember, we're talking about India, a country with a large geographical presence. Yet, this coincidence just had to happen! This is important because this is what setups the climax which itself was way over-the-top action and a completely lackluster affair. How did they not realize these mistakes during reviewing and editing is beyond me.
Overall, if you want to see unrealistic action and actors breaking the laws of physics in every possible way then this film is a perfect treat for you. That is surprising because, during the first half, I was literally thinking of a 4-5 star review. How on earth did we come to this? The visuals are good in most places and the score is just outstanding. The acting is top-notch as well but everything is let down by the poor screenplay and plot choices. The emotions in the film seem very much forced after the interval there is no time to heal or recover from a wound. The plot is illogical and quite difficult to put into words. If you want a brainless spectacular, then this one is for you. For people like me, this is one of those which begs the question of what could've been? Don't expect too much. This is just another routine South Indian film that failed to impress the world.

Q: xcode swift constraint issue with tableview and uilabel resting I have posted this earlier but could not get an answer as to how to solve my issue so I am trying again.  Hopefully someone with better knowledge than me when it comes to constraints can help.
Briefly, I have a UIViewController with a UITableView.  One of the cells contains to UILabels.  I am trying to figure out how to may the second UILabel resize when the text is wrapped.
Here is screenshot:

I have tried, and it was explained to me, to have four constraints on the LabelBio.

*

*Leading to superview - I have tried both margin and superview

*Trailing to superview

*Top to LabelSellerInfo

*Height >=

But these do not seem to solve the issue.  I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I am at a loss as to what I am missing.  Someone also suggested to have a LabelBio to superview bottom but that did not work as well.
With the attached screenshot, here is my result:

I am new to constraints and do not really understand what is wrong.  Is someone able to articulate a solution to me so I can understand how to make this work.  Everything I read about constraints makes me believe this should work but it does not.
I also have tried both defining the method heightForRowAt and retiring UITableViewAutomaticDimension and I have tried setting .rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension.
If any more info is needed to help me to solve my problem please let me know.
My other post is here: Automatically increase/decrease UILabelView Height in UITableViewCell?
Thanks for any help!!

A: You have already done most of the work.
Adding bottom constraint of Labelbio to contentView should be enough to enable contentView to calculate its height.

A: Let's divide this into three problems:

*

*Make a UILabel expand vertically to hold arbitrary text

*Make a TableViewCell subclass expand vertically to hold arbitrary content

*Make both work together

Make UILabel expand vertically to hold arbitrary text
When you define your UILabel, make sure to do something like:
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping

This will tell your label not to use an explicitly-provided number of lines and to break the provided text naturally at word boundaries. Combined with a fixed or maximum width, this will create an implicit number of lines (and thus implicit height) for your label.
Check the UILabel documentation for more.
Make a TableViewCell subclass expand vertically to hold arbitrary content
Apple includes a special section on self-sizing table view cells in the Auto Layout Guide. The important part is to set these two properties in your table view (not in the table view cell):
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = // Pick an appropriate value
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

Once both properties are set, your table view cells will use auto layout to determine their height.
Make both work together
Your table view cells are now looking to their contents to provide an implicit height. You need to create an unbroken chain of constraints from the top of the cell to the bottom to push them apart to the correct height. In the example from your images:

*

*Constrain LabelSellerInfo top to superview top margin

*Constrain LabelSellerInfo bottom to LabelBio top (plus any margin)

*Constrain LabelBio bottom to superview bottom margin

You should also constrain the width or leading and trailing edges of LabelBio in some way; what you show in your image is fine. Taken together, these settings and constraints will create self-resizing table view cells containing a LabelBio that changes height based on its text.


As more small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) invest in cloud-based solutions, they need a cloud-based solution to back up and protect their business data and applications in the event of a disaster. And while SMBs are boosting their spend in the cloud, they often worry that Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) may be out of their reach. However thanks to the growing acceptance of cloud computing solutions among organizations of all sizes, DRaaS is now an affordable solution for SMBs. HOSTING breaks down the basics of DRaaS and explains why every SMB should invest in it.
So what is Disaster Recovery as a Service?
DRaaS is the replication and hosting of physical or virtual servers by a third party (typically by an experienced cloud service provider) to provide failover (i.e., a back up operations mode of your business operations) in the event of a man-made or natural catastrophe. So let's say you're a San Francisco-based business that sells high-end cookware imported from France. One day the City by the Bay is rocked by an earthquake (just a small trembler), crashing your e-commerce site so you can't access any of your data. With DRaaS, there's no need to worry because a copy of your servers containing all of your business critical information is also housed on another server located in a geographically-diverse location, such as Denver, CO (home to HOSTING headquarters). So before you can say, "Zut Alors!", your business is up and running again.
Why should SMBs invest in Disaster Recovery as a Service?
If you're running a business, you're collecting data – lots of it. Your customers' names, credit card information, purchasing history – all of that data helps your business operate efficiently while creating the best customer experience possible. With data being such a valued commodity, you would think that most SMBs had a disaster recovery (DR) plan in place. Yet 50% of U.S. SMBs don't event have a DR plan. And 72% of SMBs worldwide that have a DR plan have never tested it.
The CSP works with you to deploy a software-based replication technology that continually copies data changes in your environment (i.e., updating customer info, or adding new methods of payment) to the cloud.
Images of your servers are created and stored as warm stand-by virtual machines (VMs). During this process, the recovery (backup) environment is defined, including the order in which your back up servers are booted up.
If you and/or your CSP declares a disaster or simply wants to test your DRaaS, the CSP uses pre-built automation to boot the VMs and convert any physical servers as required. You can then log onto their environment through a customer portal that provides access to any testing or management resources you or your CSP needs.
Bottom line – Your CSP is responsible for storing and replicating your data offsite, while managing all your DR activities.
How do SMBs benefit from Disaster Recovery as a Service?
While the steps involved in DRaaS may seem daunting, keep in mind that the CSP is responsible for implementing and maintaining the solution. And DRaaS offers four key benefits.
Better functionality at a lower cost – There is little upfront investment required to set up DRaaS. In general, the most significant cost is the storage of your data, and that is typically lower that if you stored it on your own.
Simplified, less expensive testing – Many SMBs are already stretched for time and resources – making DR testing a "when I get around to it" activity. With DRaaS, the CSP handles all of the testing. All you need to do is validate that the applications perform and function as expected.
Flexibility and scalability – DRaaS enables SMBs to adapt to changing business needs and IT environments. As your company grows, so does the scale of your DRaaS. Additionally, DRaaS deployments are tracked in weeks, not months or years, giving you a more up-to-date view of your environment.
Pay-as-you-go pricing – With DRaaS, you only pay for the resources you use (our HOSTING colleagues in accounting refer to it as an OpEx model). This feature makes it easy for you to add additional servers or storage, avoiding burdensome CapEx spending. And you can start by protecting a handful of critical servers, ratcheting up as your needs grow.

Stress & De-stress

What's Your Definition of Happiness?
What's your definition of happiness? Research in the field of positive psychology and happiness often define a happy person as someone who experiences frequent positive emotions, such as joy, interest, and pride, and infrequent (though not absent) negative emotions, such as sadness, anxiety and anger.
Happiness has also been said to relate to life satisfaction, appreciation of life, moments of pleasure, but overall it has to do with the positive experience of emotions.
The key to these definitions is that positive emotions do not indicate the absence of negative emotions. A "happy person" experiences the spectrum of emotions just like anybody else, but the frequency by which they experience the negative ones may differ.
It could be that "happy people" don't experience as much negative emotion because they process it differently or they may find meaning in a way others have not.
In fact, using the phrase "happy person" is probably incorrect because it assumes that they are naturally happy or that positive things happen to them more often. Nobody is immune to life's stressors, but the question is whether you see those stressors as moments of opposition or moments of opportunity.
Regardless of where you are on the happiness spectrum, each person has their own way of defining happiness. Philosophers, actors, politicians, and everybody in between have all weighed in on their own view of happiness. Read some of our favorite definitions below and let us know what resonated with you.
The ancient Greeks defined happiness as:
"Happiness is the joy that we feel when we're striving after our potential."
Shirley MacLaine, Academy Award winner, said:
"To be happy, you have to be willing to be compliant with not knowing."
Michael J. Fox said:
"My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations."
Gabrielle Bernstein, author, said:
"Choosing happiness is the path of least resistance."
Aristotle said:
"Happiness is a state of activity."
Dr. Shefali Tsabary, psychologist and author, said:
"Only when we fill our own need and feel satiated from within can we truly be fulfilled and happy."
What's great about all these definitions is that commonalities start emerging. Shirley MacLaine and Michael J. Fox tell us to accept life's situations and to accept uncertainty as a natural part of life. And the greater we are able to do that, the greater we can lean into happiness.
Mastin Kipp tells us it's ok to not strive to be happy, but accept whatever we're feeling. He hints at an important concept, which is that we so often try to fix things and get to be "happy" or "at peace" or "over a situation," but sometimes we need to acknowledge what we're feeling (whatever that is).
What you often find is that acknowledgement will allow you to move into the "happy space" more quickly because your emotions aren't trying to get your attention. Your emotions aren't screaming at you, telling you that you're sad or angry. You've already begun the work of processing it.

European Union countries are being asked to take in 20,000 refugees over the next two years. It's part of an effort to establish a legal route for migration to Europe and stop the flow of migrants across the Mediterranean.
MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
The European Union is struggling to cope with thousands of people trying to reach Europe by land and sea. Today, EU officials unveiled a plan they hope will stop migrants entrusting their lives to traffickers and offer a safe and legal alternative for refugees. Critics say the plan will only encourage more to set off across the Mediterranean for European shores. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO)
ELEANOR BEARDSLEY, BYLINE: This video footage from the Italian Navy shows migrants being rescued from rickety boats. Children are passed overhead while corpses float in the water. At least 1,800 people have died this year trying to reach Europe fleeing war, dictatorship and poverty in places like Syria, Eritrea and Sudan. Today, the European Commission presented a plan to deal with the immediate migrant emergency and long-term immigration. The EU's foreign-policy chief, Federica Mogherini, identified the plan's priorities in Brussels today.
FEDERICA MOGHERINI: Saving lives, first of all, taking care of the lives we save, sharing responsibility to protect the people we save, and fighting the traffickers and smuggler's organizations.
BEARDSLEY: Only a handful of European countries are handling the vast majority of migrants. Southern countries on the front line - Italy, Greece and Spain - are overwhelmed by migrants arriving by boat. Germany and Sweden have taken in the bulk of asylum seekers. The EU's executive arm is proposing that the other EU countries share the burden according to their size and wealth. Pierre Henri, head of French asylum rights group Terre d'Asile, says that's exactly what's needed.
PIERRE HENRY: (Through interpreter) For two years, we've been asking EU countries to work in solidarity to confront this issue. You can't do it alone, but this will put Europe to the test because there are populists in many countries who refuse to take migrants.
BEARDSLEY: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called the resettlement proposal indecent. British Interior Minister Theresa May said her country would take no part in the quota scheme. French parliamentarian Eric Ciotti says the policy is dangerous and naive.
ERIC CIOTTI: (Through interpreter) If we say no matter where you land, you'll be welcomed somewhere in Europe, more and more people will come. We should be fighting to keep them from reaching Europe. We should be destroying the traffickers.
BEARDSLEY: The EU plan would provide funding and naval support to the EU's border agency, Frontex, to identify, capture and destroy smuggler's boats, and there will be better intelligence sharing to help break up trafficking networks. European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans says the way Europe handles the migrant crisis now will impact the debate over immigration in the years to come.
FRANS TIMMERMANS: The biggest gift we can give to populists and extremists who argue against immigration is to allow a broken system to remain broken.
BEARDSLEY: Timmermans says the rules can work if they're applied properly. The plan, he says, will streamline country's asylum procedures and create a much quicker processing time.
TIMMERMANS: Our citizens must have confidence that we will offer help to those who are persecuted for fleeing war, but also that we effectively register and manage those who arrive and return those who do not qualify for asylum.
BEARDSLEY: Under EU Treaty rules, Britain, Ireland and Denmark already have the right to opt out of the plan to share the migration burden. It's not clear how many other EU leaders will give the proposal their support when they meet to discuss it at the end of this month. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.


Mangaluru: All the 1,500 police personnel appointed on election duty will be provided with a special kit containing essentials on April 17, informed City Police Commissioner Sandeep Patil at a press meet on Monday.
"The kits contain biscuits, toothpaste, tooth brushes, candles, match boxes, soaps, and shaving cream. This is for the first time that such a kit is being given to police personnel who are on election duty," explained Mr Patil.
"Elaborate security measures have been taken to ensure the smooth conduct of the Lok Sabha elections in the commissionerate limits. There are 883 polling booths in the four Assembly segments that come under the jurisdiction of the commissionerate and 220 of them have been identified as critical. A total of 12 CAR platoons and 8 KSRP platoons had been deployed in the sensitive areas in all the four Assembly constituencies," stated the commissioner.


A worker at BP in Braamfontein accuses management of sexual assault.
Employees at a BP garage in Braamfontein are accusing their employers of unfair treatment and unsafe working conditions after a petrol attendant was allegedly assaulted by the manager of the business.
Nompumelelo Kumalo told Wits Vuvuzela that she opened a case of assault against her manager, Ricardo Viera, on September 14, at the Hillbrow Police Station, after she was physically thrown out of the bathroom by Viera.
"He came into the bathroom while I was changing. He grabbed me forcefully and threw me out. He said he needed to pee. I asked him why he threw me out like a dog. He answered saying that he would fire me if I opened a case," Kumalo said.
She said the incident happened on August 20. "My mind is not okay. I need counselling. I'm abused. I'm not okay," the 30 year-old added.
Warrant officer Japhta Maringa from the South African Police Services confirmed that a case of sexual assault was opened at the Hillbrow station.
A number of Kumalo's colleagues have now come forward with accusations of being underpaid, overworked, disrespected and working in unsafe conditions. They have turned to labour specialist and director of Gatsheni Labour Justice, Bongani Ndlovu, to mediate on their behalf.
Ndlovu confirmed that the workers had asked him to intervene in their dispute in early August.
"They requested we intervene in them being underpaid. They also said that their employer is employing foreigners but mistreating locals," Ndlovu said.
"We sent an email to the owner who was very arrogant. We tried to set up a meeting but he kept on changing the appointments. We took the matter to the Bargaining Council in Randburg two weeks ago," Ndlovu added.
Along with the alleged mistreatment, the workers told Wits Vuvuzela that since 2010 they were being paid for seven-and-a-half hours instead of eight.
"[Viera] takes 30 minutes off our 8-hour salary. Which means we are paying for our lunch (break)!" Kumalo said.
Another petrol attendant, Thalitha Mokhema, told Wits Vuvuzela that the random changes in their schedule by the manager were significantly inconvenient.
"There's no transport for the night shift. I stay in Protea Glen. In that shift I make R220 and an Uber costs R390. He said he was happy to mark us absent. Now he's given me a warning for being absent and has cut my working hours from 90 [hours] to 70 hours," Mokhema said.
Mokhema told Wits Vuvuzela that the workers had been unsuccessful in addressing the issues with the manager and resorted to engaging the services of Ndlovu.
"When we speak to him, he oppresses us even more," Mokhema said. "The petrol tanks here have been leaking since I got here six years ago. We could blow up any time," the 54-year-old said.
Ndlovu told Wits Vuvuzela that the matter was with the Motor Industry Bargaining Council (MIBCO) and he expected that the management of the garage would be called to the MIBCO court.
Viera told Wits Vuvuzela that he was unable to comment as the garage was part of the BP group and the issues could be seen as placing the brand at fault.
"I cannot entertain you guys," Viera said. "We've had the labour department check everything and they say that everything is in order. We're above board," he added.

Justin Bieber Toxicology Report: Tested Positive for Weed + Xanax

Justin Bieber's toxicology report is back a week after his arrest for DUI and drag racing in Miami.
He tested positive for marijuana and Xanax, as traces of THC, a key ingredient in weed, and Alprazolam, a key ingredient in the anti-anxiety medication, were found in his system.
TMZ obtained the report which indicates The Biebs took a urine test after he was arrested.
The good news is that Biebs did test negative for cocaine, meth, opiates and other drugs. So what he told cops at the time he was cuffed was true.
He has pleaded not guilty to these charges as a deportation petition is making its way to the White House's radar. We won't even start talking about Egg Gate.
See the tox report here.
Also, manager Scooter Braun explained to British GQ how he has handled his client amidst these legal scandals that have been plaguing The Biebs.
"My responsibility is to always be there when they fall, always be there to help them get back up," Braun said about his approach to his clients. "But at some point I need to let them fail, because if they don't, they're going to have no humanity."
Re: The Biebs, he said, "Sometimes he doesn't help himself because he's so angry. But no one really understands what he's living…only him. I can't baby him. I can say there is only one way around this, either we quit and let you try and find a normal life or you realize that this is what this is and we've got to keep fighting."
"And you're going to hate me some days because I'm going to say you can't throw a punch. You want to go out there and you want to bash their heads in...But the only way you're going to win them over is by being better."
What a great strategy! That's why he is one of the best in the biz.
Braun also addressed the video of The Biebs sleeping, which was taken last year in Brazil and spawned all those Bieber x hookers rumors.
Braun reveals, "He said, 'I had a woman film me while I was sleeping, who I've never met before… She was in the house and she filmed me. They are assuming I slept with her and she was a prostitute. I've got to deal with that. I'm 19 (and) every single day I've got to deal with stuff like that. People thinking I had a baby or thinking I spit on my fans, just assuming the absolute worst about me.'"
Wow, sounds like that was a serious privacy invasion in Brazil.
Biebs is lucky to have Braun in his corner. He is doing things the right way.
Oh, and this is really cute. Biebs x Baby Bro Jaxon.

Vehicle for State reauthorization leaves some policy goals behind
Accountability for Saudi Arabia's actions against dissident and provisions promoting diversity, management reforms were left out, chairman says

By Rachel Oswald
Tucked into a just-passed Pentagon policy measure are numerous provisions that amount to the furthest lawmakers have gotten in two decades to fulfilling their State Department authorization duties.
The provisions would tweak and modernize various operations and processes at Foggy Bottom. Many of the State Department authorization provisions included in the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization Act are noncontroversial updates to the State Department's management and personnel policies.
Those changes have been in the works for the last three Congresses, but lawmakers were unable to push them across the finish line due to the precarious position that State authorization matters occupy within the hierarchy of the Capitol Hill legislative ecosystem.
The bulk of the diplomacy provisions that Congress cleared last week were ones contained in a fiscal 2022 State authorization measure introduced by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Gregory W. Meeks, D-N.Y. The House in May passed Meeks' bill under suspension of the rules, a process that allows for quick passage of measures with overwhelming bipartisan support.
"As I have made clear upon taking the chairmanship of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, one of my top priorities has been reasserting our committee's role in ensuring regular authorization of the Department of State by Congress, something that has not happened in nearly two decades," Meeks said in a statement.
But because the State authorization language was catching a ride on the defense policy measure, which lawmakers treat as a priority, reliably passing it every year for the last six decades, Senate Republicans were able to insist that multiple provisions popular with Democrats be stripped out.
"Unfortunately, several important provisions did not make it into the final language of the NDAA, including robust measures related to the brutal war in Yemen, accountability for Saudi Arabia's actions against dissidents and civil society and provisions promoting diversity and other management reforms at the State Department," Meeks said. "I am very disappointed that … we were unable to secure the requisite support from Senate Republicans to advance them into the final package."
While the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations panels were able to reach agreement among themselves on which parts of the House-passed bill — as well as additional SFRC-crafted provisions — to collectively push for inclusion in the defense bill, the final decision was ultimately out of their hands, Democratic aides said in an interview.
Some titles included in the HFAC bill related to security assistance and combating corruption were broken off during conference negotiations with SFRC, which Democratic staffers, who were granted anonymity in order to discuss bill deliberations in greater detail, attributed to senators not having enough time to familiarize themselves with the provisions before they needed to present consensus text to Senate Armed Services and House Armed Services leadership.
"Those things are important but they are more thematic policy matters," said one of the Democratic staffers in characterizing the provisions that were left on the cutting room floor. "The main thrust of this bill was to start with the obvious low-hanging fruit. The State Department needs authorizations and authorities to run itself and manage its personnel effectively and manage its embassies overseas effectively."
The final compromise version of the defense legislation was cobbled together earlier this month over the course of a night by the four leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees. The end result was an overall bill more conservative than Democrats had been expecting — especially since Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the presidency.
What made it in
The Foggy Bottom authorization portion of the defense bill doesn't authorize every State Department account, though there is an approval of nearly $2 billion for fiscal 2022 for embassy security, construction and maintenance activities.
"There is something meaningful about actually authorizing resources because that has not been done by the authorizers for many, many years," the Democratic staffer said.
The measure specifies that special envoy positions are subject to Senate confirmation; makes permanent a current authority to provide incentive payments to employees for hardship posts; and requires a report on Foreign Service allowances.
"This bill provides the necessary authorities to help strengthen and rebuild the State Department so it can more effectively carry out America's foreign policy," Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., said in a statement.
Following actions taken by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during his tenure that disregarded longstanding department policies on things like Senate-confirmed appointees not participating in national political conventions, lawmakers included language in the defense bill to make it explicit that the department's Foreign Affairs Manual and Foreign Affairs Handbook do apply to the secretary position.
And after Pompeo and several of his close advisers stalled or resisted sitting for interviews for the department's Office of the Inspector General related to various incidents of reported misconduct, lawmakers sought to prevent any repeats. The defense measure includes a provision that makes it explicit that any department personnel who do not comply with a State OIG request for documents or interviews will be administratively punished.
Lawmakers also included language that orders the department to establish a mechanism for any employee subject to an "assignment restriction" to "have the same appeal rights as provided by the department regarding denial or revocation of a security clearance."
Assignment restrictions limit the countries that some diplomats can serve in based on their ethnicity or family connections. The practice has come under increasing criticism, especially by Democrats who argue it unfairly limits career opportunities and disproportionately impacts diplomats of color.
In 2016, Congress included a provision in the defense policy law that directed the department to improve its process for State employees' appealing their assignment restrictions. But when the State Department's Diplomatic Security Bureau was unresponsive to that directive, lawmakers decided they needed to be "much more prescriptive on what the appeals mechanism needs to be," a second Democratic aide said.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his top deputies have made several changes to the assignment restrictions process and are contemplating additional ones. In acknowledging that the assignment restrictions process has been ham-handed, Blinken earlier this fall announced that nearly 60 percent of all preexisting assignment restrictions had been lifted.
Diversity provisions excluded
More frustrating to Democrats was that much of the language contained in the House-passed State authorization measure related to improving diversity within the department's workforce was stripped out by Republicans during conference negotiations.
All of the diversity-related provisions contained in the House bill were agreed to by Meeks, House Foreign Affairs ranking member Michael McCaul, R-Texas, Menendez and Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch, R-Idaho, according to the Democratic aides.
Those provisions included things like requiring that all department internships be paid and ordering the department to collect and publish disaggregated data on the demographics of employees.
But when Senate Republicans, notably Senate Armed Services ranking member James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., pushed back on including those provisions in the defense policy bill, the Foreign Affairs committee leaders conceded. They opted to instead save the other State authorization provisions after seeing them collapse so close to the finish line in previous years, the staffers said.
Requests for comment to Inhofe's office were not returned.
"The chairmen's view was, 'We need to break this curse. We need to get this State authorization,'" the first staffer said, adding: "This is the first step, not the last step" in getting back to a regular State authorization schedule.
Still, a few provisions meant to improve the department's recruitment, retention and promotion of a diverse workforce did make it through.
They include a requirement that the department offer departing employees exit interviews and then analyze the results for implications for diversity; expand anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training and make it compulsory for senior and supervisory officials, including those with HR roles; and directing that promotion reviews consider how well officials' have done at promoting diversity and inclusion in their current roles.


Will my rebate be issued as a credit on my electric bill or as a check?
All rebates under $400 will be issued as a credit on your electric bill. Rebates $400 and over are typically issued as a check in the mail.
How long will it take for me to get my rebate?
Generally, it can take approximately 8-12 weeks to get the rebate, due to the very large volume of rebates we issue each year. During busy times of the year, it can take a little longer.
What paperwork do I need to submit to get my rebate?
You must complete the rebate form and include a copy of the dated receipt with the model numbers, SKUs and/or work performed. Check the specific rebate form for any additional requirements.
I'm converting the bulbs in my home to LEDs. What is the quickest and easiest way to receive my rebate? Is there a limit to how many bulbs I can rebate?
There is no limit on bulbs. Visit the Apple Valley or Eagan Batteries+Bulbs locations and get an instant $2/bulb rebate at checkout (funds permitting). There's no need to submit any paperwork to us, and you will not have to wait several months to receive the rebate credit on your electric bill. The instant rebate cannot be combined with the mail-in rebate.
Why didn't I get the full $2/bulb LED rebate?
If you spend less than $2/bulb, you will not get the full rebate. Instead, you will get your purchase price (excluding tax or discounts) rounded up to the nearest 50 cents.
If I buy a multi-pack of LED bulbs, will each bulb qualify for the rebate?
Yes; however, you will only get the maximum $2/bulb rebate if you spent $2/bulb for each of those bulbs in the multi-pack. Example: If you buy a 4-pack of bulbs for $6, you will be rebated $6. If you buy a 4-pack of bulbs for $10, you will be rebated $8.
Can I use any HVAC contractor to install my new air conditioner, heat pump or furnace?
In order to qualify for the rebate, you must use a contractor listed on the Qualified Contractor list, or you can call our office to confirm they are on the list.
My air conditioner or heat pump was installed during the cold weather months. Why didn't I get my rebate right away?
The contractor has to perform the start-up quality install tests first and document the results on the rebate form. The test can only be done once the outdoor temperature reaches a minimum of 55 degrees. Any air conditioner or heat pump installed during October-April will typically not see the rebate until the following summer.
I want to give my old refrigerator to a friend or relative, or donate it to a charity. Will I still qualify for the recycling rebate?
No. In order to qualify for the rebate, the old unit must be recycled and a proof of recycling receipt must be submitted with the rebate application.
Where can I recycle my old refrigerator or freezer?
Most major retailers will haul away and recycle your old refrigerator/freezer when they deliver the new refrigerator/freezer. Check with them if they will and what the cost will be.
You can also drop your unit off at Appliance Smart in Apple Valley. Contact them for recycling fees at 952-997-6844.

BETTE on Carson tonight!
By Hibi,
LocationOhio
Bette Davis will be one of the guests tonight. I hope this is the interview that was done after she made Whales of August where she was dissing Faye Dunaway, she was very funny on that show. We'll see.
So now we have at least 4 Carson threads, a "Bette on Carson" thread, an "instead of Carson" thread, and I don't know what else.
This is more Bette than Johnny. Anyway, another week and Carson will be history.....
Disappointed. It wasnt the segment I was hoping for (she guested many times) Maybe they thought she looked too awful post stroke.......

I didn't see what TCM ran, but I remember Davis on TONIGHT in the early 70's, I believe, when she confessed how wrong she had been about Errol Flynn's performance in ELIZABETH AND ESSEX and how she wished he were there so she could tell him how wonderful he was. It was an incredible moment and she was genuinely repentent about her derisive attitude.
I know how ya feel, Hibi. As I've said in one of these Carson threads, I was hoping that last night's Burt Reynolds segment would have been the one where Burt tells how as a couple of young struggling actors, he and Clint Eastwood were told by some producer that they'd never make it in Hollywood, and how he missed out being in one of Gable's last movies.
(...and which of course once again would have been more pertinent to TCM's regular programing than a lot of talk about Judy Carne and ex-wives)

Hibi, you can watch the Bette's 1988 shellacking of Faye Dunaway on youtube. I saw it again just the other day.
LOL. Thanks. Bette was in fine form that night..........
I remember her appearance on "The Tonight Show" caused such an uproar that Carson began his monologue the next night saying, "Tonight Faye Dunaway will be on the show to talk about how much she loved working with Bette Davis."
LOL. I missed that follow up........That may have been Bette's last appearance on thet show. I think she died the following year.
I had hoped that the Carson interview with Davis would have been the one where she discusses "little Ronnie Reagan", as she refers to him in that distinctive, clipped cadence of hers.
