High Energy Computed Tomography X-Ray Solutions Launched
July 16, 2021 Keith Mills Publishing Editor
North Star Imaging (NSI) has introduced a new range of High Energy X-ray systems, MeVX product line, that are available in 3, 6 and 9 Million Electron Volts (MeV).
These advanced CT systems are now available with Linear Accelerators offering energies up to 9MeV yet providing the same ease of use as NSI low energy systems in a high energy format utilizing the efX software platform.
Timothy Lebens, Global Sales Director NSI says: "The MeVX line answers the need for higher energy X-ray inspection to deeply penetrate, dense parts, that cannot be scanned using standard, lower energy, X-ray equipment.
Use of a 3, 6 or a 9 MeVX is a huge time saving solution, especially for aerospace, defense, automotive and other emerging technologies where speed and superior, high resolution images are required for mission critical parts."
Noise, scatter, and beam hardening artifacts negatively impact the image fidelity of a part. With the help of a linear accelerator (LINAC) the MeVX units not only improve scanning penetration but also image quality.
Common applications that are readily scanned include large and complex assemblies, rocket engines and tanks, nickel-based alloys, combustion chambers, engine blocks and turbine blades.

The 'Barton' Doctrine Is Alive and Well
By Walter J. Greenhalgh and Chad Odhner
Read below
Walter Greenhalgh
Chad Odhner
The Barton doctrine, established by the U.S. Supreme Court over a century ago, provides that "before a lawsuit is brought against a receiver[,] leave of the court by which he was appointed must be obtained." Barton v. Barbour, 104 U.S. 126, 128 (1881). At least six federal circuits have recognized and ruled that the Barton doctrine is still valid in holding that leave of the bankruptcy court is required before instituting an action against a bankruptcy trustee in the trustee's official capacity. The Third Circuit so ruled in In re VistaCare Group, 678 F.3d 218 (3d Cir. 2012). Likewise, in a series of recent holdings, other federal courts have decided that the Barton doctrine has continued validity.
Villegas v. Schmidt
In Villegas, et al. v. Schmidt, 788 F.3d 156 (5th Cir. 2015), cert. denied, No. 15-407, (U.S. Dec. 7, 2015), BFG Investments, through its president John Villegas, filed for bankruptcy and Schmidt was appointed as the trustee to liquidate BFG's estate. The case was later closed and Schmidt's fees were approved. Four years later, Villegas and BFG sued Schmidt under 28 U.S.C. §1334(c), which allows district courts to hear proceedings arising under Title 11. Villegas and BFG alleged that Schmidt committed gross negligence and breached his fiduciary duty while acting as BFG's trustee. The district court dismissed the case, and the plaintiffs appealed.
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal based on the Barton doctrine. It rejected the plaintiffs' argument that the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Stern v. Marshall limited theBarton doctrine by implication. Nor did the Fifth Circuit accept the plaintiffs' argument that theBarton doctrine does not apply when a party sues in a court exercising supervisory authority over the bankruptcy court that appointed the trustee. Every other circuit addressing the issue has held that the debtor must obtain leave of the bankruptcy court before initiating an action in the district court against a trustee. The U.S. Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs' Petition for Writ of Certiorari,Villegas v. Schmidt, 2015 U.S. LEXIS 7787; 84 U.S.L.W. 3320 (2015).
Carroll v. Abide
In Carroll v. Abide, 788 F.3d 502 (5th Cir. 2015), the Fifth Circuit had an opportunity to clarify its holding in Villegas as it pertains to Barton. In Carroll v. Abide, a married couple filed for personal bankruptcy, as well as filing a bankruptcy case for their closely held corporation. The bankruptcy court appointed a trustee to serve for both the personal and company bankruptcy estates. Following a dispute between the debtors' children and the trustee over who owned certain movable property, the district court withdrew the reference on the case from the bankruptcy court, prompted by jurisdictional concerns as a result of Stern v. Marshall. The district court then issued an order for the debtors and their children to deliver all of the records and computers of the debtor company's estate to the trustee. The trustee searched the debtors' home and confiscated multiple items, including a computer, which the debtors claimed were personal property. The district court issued another order permitting the trustee to keep the computer for forensic examination. When the computer was returned to the debtors, they determined that the trustee had accessed the computer several times. The debtors sued the trustee in the district court, contending that she had violated their Fourth Amendment rights by seizing the debtors' computer and searching the debtors' home. The district court dismissed the action under Barton, holding that the debtors were required to seek leave of the bankruptcy court to sue the trustee.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, finding a limited exception to the Barton doctrine where the action arose from actions taken by the trustee pursuant to the district court's own order. Although the district court had not appointed the trustee, it had authorized the trustee to take the actions at issue. Thus, according to the Fifth Circuit, the district court had the same "strong interest in protecting Abide from personal liability for acts taken within the scope of official duties under the supervision of the district court" as the appointing bankruptcy court.
The Fifth Circuit distinguished its decision in Villegas. Villegas held that the Barton doctrine applies even when a bankruptcy court lacks jurisdiction under Stern, and the doctrine is not altered or limited merely because a district court has supervisory authority over the bankruptcy court. According to the Fifth Circuit, this is not inconsistent with its holding in Abide, in which it held that, where a trustee acts pursuant to a district court's order, and such actions become the basis of a claim, Barton does not prevent that district court from entertaining a suit without leave of the bankruptcy court below.
Third Circuit Analysis: In re VistaCare
There has been some uncertainty in recent years as to the continued relevance and operation of theBarton doctrine, in light of significant changes in bankruptcy law that have occurred since Bartonwas decided in 1881. However, as the above cases show, that uncertainty has mostly been resolved in favor of the doctrine's continued applicability in the Fifth Circuit and elsewhere. This is also the case in the Third Circuit.
In In re VistaCare Group, 678 F.3d 218 (3d Cir. 2012), a purchaser of land from a bankruptcy estate tried to sue the Chapter 7 trustee who sold the property. The estate had owned 45 real property lots, 44 of which had mobile homes on them, and the 45th of which was the site of a retirement home. The subdivision plan stated that title to the 44 lots could not be transferred to the individual lots' residents but must remain with the developer. CGL purchased the retirement home lot from the Chapter 7 trustee believing that the sale restriction would remain in place. However, the Chapter 7 trustee subsequently convinced the township to remove the sale restriction, allowing the trustee to sell certain lots to individual mobile home residents. CGL was not happy about this and sought permission from the bankruptcy court to sue the trustee in state court. The trustee asserted that, under Barton, the suit could not go forward without the bankruptcy court's express permission, which the trustee urged the bankruptcy court to withhold. Calling the Barton doctrine "antiquated and probably not controlling," the bankruptcy court granted CGL's motion and the district court thereafter affirmed.
On appeal by the trustee, the Third Circuit held that Barton was still applicable, and that certain changes in bankruptcy law, such as the addition of section 959(a), merely created statutory exceptions to Barton in limited circumstances, rather than rendering the doctrine obsolete. Likewise, the Third Circuit rejected the bankruptcy court's argument that Barton was no longer a valid doctrine because trustees are now appointed by the United States Trustee, rather than by any "appointing court" under Barton. The Third Circuit also disagreed with the bankruptcy court that the existence of the automatic stay, under Section 362, rendered Barton unnecessary from a policy standpoint. Instead, according to the Third Circuit, Barton serves more specific policy concerns than does the automatic stay, such as protecting trustees from frivolous litigation and thereby ensuring that qualified individuals will be willing to serve as trustees.
ABI Commission Notes
In addition to the federal circuits, the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) has supported the ongoing relevance of the Barton doctrine. The ABI's Commission to Study the Reform of Chapter 11 issued its final report on Dec. 8, 2014, in which it recommended clarifying and codifying the Bartondoctrine, including extending it to any professionals retained by a bankruptcy trustee, estate or statutory committee, to the extent the litigation involves such professionals' representation of such parties in a fiduciary capacity.

The Show Must Go on at the Cabrillo Festival
David Bratman on August 9, 2022.

The pandemic isn't over.
That's the hard lesson that the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music learned as it prepared for the second of its two weekends of concerts this year on Aug. 6 and 7 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, in the festival's first full schedule of live performances since 2019.
After a successful opening weekend, COVID concerns within the orchestra led to the removal of winds and brass from the ensemble for the ensuing concerts. This required choosing and rehearsing new material for over half the timeslots in question, with only a week in which to prepare it. What the festival needed was music for strings, music for percussion, and — if possible — music for strings and percussion. Cabrillo got all three. This is a gallant orchestra, and Music Director Cristian Măcelaru is a bold leader, and it all came out as if it had been planned this way.

The headline works for the two concerts survived intact, or nearly so. Sunday's principal work was Intonations: Songs From the Violins of Hope, a song cycle by Jake Heggie. This is a piece with a complex history. It was commissioned by Music at Kohl Mansion in honor of the local residency of the Violins of Hope, a collection of instruments that survived the Nazi Holocaust and have been restored and curated by two Israeli luthiers. In its original form, with the vocalist and a solo violinist accompanied by a string quartet, the work premiered at Kohl in January 2020. Cabrillo commissioned a version with full orchestra to debut that summer, but of course that didn't happen. A hybrid arrangement, mixing orchestra and string quartet, was released on video by Cabrillo last year. The orchestral version was finally to appear in concert this Sunday, but again it didn't happen. What was played was an arrangement for strings (including harp) and percussion.
Despite the limited orchestra, the larger accompaniment and the care of Măcelaru's conducting made for an even richer experience than the chamber version. Gene Scheer's lyrics, drawn from stories of the individual violins and mostly told as the instruments' first-person narratives, recount harrowing tales of courage in the face of death and destruction.

Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, who also sang in the first performance, gave the words simple and moving utterance. The lyrics were projected on a screen, but Heggie assured they were always clearly audible whatever the accompaniment. Benjamin Beilman as solo violinist played sometimes with Cooke, sometimes in alternation with her, giving commentary on the stories. The orchestra, though subsidiary, contributed effectively: chimes in the song "Exile" standing for images of loss; Beilman and the orchestra surging into a quotation from Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in "Motele," when a young violinist is described as playing the piece — first for his family, then, after they are killed, at the demand of Nazi officers whom he eventually destroys with smuggled gunpowder.
Intonations is a searing work, beneficiary of all of Heggie and Scheer's experience creating operas together, poured into this vessel of a song cycle.
Oboist Katherine Needleman in Kevin Puts's Moonlight | Credit: rr jones
Saturday's keynote piece survived entirely intact. This was Moonlight, the second concerto for oboe and strings by Kevin Puts. The solo oboe was given a pass from the pandemic restrictions: Katherine Needleman, principal oboist of the Baltimore Symphony, for whom the work was written, appeared to play it. The soloist gets a lot of extended lyricism in this concerto but also – especially in the active second movement — low blats and high squeals. At times the oboe seems to strain itself at the high end of its register.
Often the string orchestra produces fast throbbing pulsations of a minimalist bent that work well as a background for the soloist's lyricism. In other passages, the oboe has difficulty finding its way over piercing harmonics from the strings. More successfully, a growing full accompaniment in the finale seems to pull the oboe into its warm embrace. This is a concerto that begins tentatively and becomes more confident as it goes on. Puts's genial way as a composer is familiar to Cabrillo audiences and was on its typical display here.
Măcelaru introduced the weekend's only work for strings alone by explaining that he'd intended to present it as a surprise addition to Sunday's concert. Instead, it appeared as a regular program item on Saturday. It was by Valentin Silvestrov, Ukraine's most prominent, and most senior, living composer. Now 84, he was recently evacuated to Berlin to escape the war engulfing his country, so he and his work have been on Măcelaru's mind. Silent Music, which Silvestrov wrote 20 years ago, is a brief suite of waltz and serenade. It is a work typified by simple melodies over pizzicato backing, with pauses interrupting the waltz rhythm, and it is suffused with a sweetness of tone that's surprising to listeners familiar with Silvestrov's darker and more austere large-scale concert works.
Music Director Cristian Măcelaru | Credit: rr jones
Măcelaru and the Cabrillo staff were able to turn up two major suites written for the unusual combination of strings and percussion. Apparitions by Richard Danielpour, which concluded Saturday's concert, is an interesting find. In a dry but tonal idiom, this work of five varied movements principally explores string sonorities, with the percussion salting the music, mostly well mixed in. The percussion does stand out occasionally, especially in the last movement, which commemorates a once-famous pet monkey named Johnnie Brown (whose grave is still visitable in Palm Beach, Florida). Here the mallet instruments frequently interject quotations from the song "Pop Goes the Weasel," whose lyrics are about a monkey as much as they're about a weasel.
Sunday's concert was filled out with a more familiar piece, the endearingly goofy Carmen Suite by Rodion Shchedrin. Written as a dance vehicle for the composer's wife, a ballerina, this work takes well-known orchestral nuggets from Bizet's opera suites and rearranges them for the chosen ensemble, with the percussion well to the fore. Famous melodies in the strings are backed by a large clanging battery or are handed over to the tuned percussion entirely. Then there's the moment when the "Toreador Song" completely vanishes, leaving only its ghostly accompaniment behind.
Sunday's rendition was less percussion-heavy than other performances I've heard. Regardless of the balance, it was impressive that the orchestra was able to prepare this 40-minute work — and all the other new material — in only a week.

This applies equally to Saturday's two brief all-percussion works, even more fun to listen to than the Carmen Suite. Both are early pieces by their composers, offered as consolation prizes after full-orchestral works of theirs had to be pulled from the program.
First was Andrea Reinkemeyer's #@&%!* (expletive deleted). (To pronounce the title, just say the part in parentheses.) Despite the aggressive labeling, this work for four tireless performers is fairly gentle music as percussion pieces go, focused mostly on exploring the timbres of a variety of drums, from the hollow to the resonant. Marimba and xylophone are also prominent. Complex shifting rhythms prevail throughout.
It's nowhere near as violent as Christopher Rouse's Ogoun Badagris, which offers twice the energy in half the time span. Uniquely for these concerts, this piece was performed without a conductor: It was led by principal percussionist Galen Lemmon. Deep and dark in sound, with a prominent bass drum, Rouse's score is full of snaps, crackles, and pops in incessant rhythms.
You can count Saturday's mixed grill of five varied works as a success in presenting listenable music of recent decades. While the Carmen Suite was a bit lightweight on Sunday after Heggie's searing Intonations, that song cycle was impressive enough to carry any concert all by itself. The Cabrillo Festival came out intact from its rejiggered weekend.

After a year on hiatus, the Boston Fall Boat Show drew in a steady flow of serious buyers.
"It was critical not to postpone it for two years in a row," says Larry Russo, owner of Russo Marine and a director of the Massachusetts Marine Trade Association. "It's a steady crowd ... and I'm not hearing any negative people here."
The show, traditionally with indoor and in-water components, was canceled in 2009 after the recession squeezed funding for the MMTA. A scaled-back version returned this year (Sept. 24-26) at the Seaport World Trade Center.
Show producer Warren Kelly of Vernon Promotions declined to provide attendance figures, but says attendance at the three-day show equaled the number who were at the four-day event in 2008. He says exhibitors were charged the same fees as in 2008, but were offered a 15 percent "pay on time" discount.
Until revenues pick up, the show will continue inside, Kelly says.
"I only heard one complaint and that was from a person looking for the 40- to 50-foot boats" that typically would be in the outdoor section, Kelly says.
"You can't have a credible in-water boat show with 20 boats," Russo adds.
Even without the in-water component, many exhibitors agreed that resuming the Boston show this year was the right move.
"There was no reason not to hold the show," says MMTA president Jack Kent, who runs Bayside Marine Corp., a Grady-White dealership. "For the people who came, it's been good."
Several shoppers took time looking over every aspect of a boat, asked thoughtful questions that showed they had done their homework and returned to vessels they were genuinely interested in buying, exhibitors say. One family debated over lunch which Grady-White best suited their needs - a conversation that probably wouldn't have taken place two years ago when people with consumed reasons not to buy.
"There's been really good attendance and really good quality of people," says Joey Weller, vice president of sales and marketing at Grady-White Boats. "They're not just lookers."
That was true for East Coast Flightcraft, a Middleton, Mass., dealership that sells Cobalt, Fountain and Malibu. The dealership sold four boats at the show and came away with several leads, president Dan Lemieux says.
"Our motto is 'drive before you buy,' and we have three deals scheduled for Saturday, one for Friday and another for Sunday, so we could realize five more sales from this event," Lemieux says.
All but one of the customers were new to the dealership, Lemieux says.
Consumers are no longer looking for steals, and sales teams are making sure buyers understand that as inventory continues to dwindle, it will become difficult to get specific models, Lemieux says. That creates a sense of urgency.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney strolled through the exhibit hall with his family on Saturday, asking questions of Cobalt and Malibu sales teams.
Dave Schwab, sales manager at Boats of Boston, a division of East Coast Flightcraft that sells Formula, agrees sales were strong at the show.
Russo Marine sold three Sea Rays and a Bayliner and gathered more leads than at the Providence show in January, the New England show in February and the Newport show in September combined, says Russo.

Ordinance of 1787: The Northwest Territorial Government.--. XXXVII
Constitution of the United States and Amendments-----
Index to the Constitution of the United States and Amendments..
This seventh edition of the United States Code was prepared and published pursuant to section 202 (c) of Title 1 of the Code. It contains a consolidation and codification of all the general and permanent laws of the United States in force on January 3, 1965. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 1964 ed." Previous editions were published in 1926, 1934, 1940, 1946, 1952, and 1958.
Inasmuch as many of the general and permanent laws which are required to be incorporated in this Code are inconsistent, redundant, and obsolete, the Committee on the Judiciary is engaged in a comprehensive project of revising and enacting the Code into law, title by title. In furtherance of this plan bills have been enacted to revise, codify and enact into law Titles 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 23, 28, 32, 35, 37, 38, and 39. In addition, bills relating to other titles are also being prepared for introduction at an early date. When this work is completed all the titles of the Code will be legal evidence of the general and permanent law and recourse to the numerous volumes of the Statutes at Large for this purpose will be unnecessary.
The title and chapter structure of the 1958 edition, together with Supplement v thereto, has been substantially preserved, the only changes made having been necessitated by the enactment of legislation since 1958.
The actual work of preparing and editing the material for this edition was done by the West Publishing Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, and the Edward Thompson Company of Brooklyn, New York, under the supervision of the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. These companies prepared the original Code which Congress enacted in 1926 and have continuously served the Committee since that time in the preparation of the authorized new editions and Supplements to the Code. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the editorial and manuscript staffs of both publishing companies and of Dr. Charles J. Zinn, the law revision counsel for the Committee, for their untiring efforts to make this edition as nearly perfect as possible. Acknowledgment of valuable assistance is made also to various oficers of Government departments and agencies and the Government Printing Office for their helpful suggestions and criticisms.
The Committee on the Judiciary invites criticisms or suggestions with the view of improving the Code wherever possible. It is hoped that the program of enacting the entire Code, title by title, to improve its present status as merely prima facie evidence of the law, will meet with early success.

ESKIMO SNOW BY WHY? THE 'LEAST ACCURATE, BUT MOST FACTUAL'
The_Grain [Edit] [Delete] 2 replies 13:59, 30 July '09
George McGovern's campaign manager, Frank Mankiewicz, famously said that Hunter S. Thompson's chronicle of the '72 US election was the "least accurate, but most factual" account. I think much the same could be attributed to the lyrics delivered by Yoni Wolf of Why? on the basis of his recent output. On 'This Blackest Purse' Wolf sets out his own mission statement of sorts; "I want to speak at an intimate decibel/ with the precision of an infinite decimal/ to listen up and send back a true echo/ of something forever felt but never heard/ I want that sharpened steel of truth in every word".
The lyrics of Why? have always been something worth dissecting, acting as both the distinguishing factor between any comparable act and the singular element that unites his discography from his time as a solo artist, through his collaborations, cLOUDDEAD, and the current incarnation of Why? as a fully formed band. The topics here remain largely the same; the full contents of his thoughts on display as Yoni dissects death, sex and his own anxieties at every turn. He is his own therapist, the language of self-analysis pouring out every song. The albums opening line, "I wear the customary clothes of my time/ like Jesus did with no reason not to die" ensures you are instantly aware the lyrics will continue where they left off on Alopecia, a stream of Jungian psychoanalysis and border-line perversion ("and I never got a name for my shady compulsion") that could be easily mistaken for narcissism ("will I gain weight in later life?").
Wolf again shows signs of the sort of self awareness rarely found in popular music and couples this with a new self-referential streak. 'This Blackest Purse' provides the most obvious example, opening with the lines "I'm not who, with my eyes, I claim to be/ I've only cradled death in my own ending flesh from far off and abstracted lit/ candlewick flickering", a reference to the most prevalent topic on Alopecia that was at the forefront of tracks like 'Song of the Sad Assassin' with its first person account of lifting a body out of the water, and signals the beginning of a differentiation between the person or persona and the doctrine he has set himself. His embellishment is in the quest for 'truth in every word'.
Eskimo Snow is made up of recordings taken from the same sessions as Alopecia, separated for the sake of coherence, so perhaps it is no surprise to hear "looks like a sky for shoeing horses under" on the refrain to 'One Rose', or his calls of "no flash photography" on 'Even The Good Wood Gone', taking you back to the same train of thought first heard on 'Sick 2 Think' from the Sanddollars EP.
The detachment of these songs from the Alopecia record to make up their own album makes perfect sense, and is entirely justified. Musically they come from a different place, mostly driven by piano and bass, with the elements of hip hop evident on the previous record now absent as they move towards a more traditional indie or plucking acoustic sound, but not necessarily for the worst. This is a record of consistency with a clear connection to Alopecia, but a key stylistic contrast. Songs like the warm folk-tinged alt indie of 'Berkeley by Herseback', containing a light simplistic beauty (the instrumental of which hints at something closer to Sufjan Stevens or Peter Broderick than Why? before the vocals kick in), with its acoustic guitar line pared with keyboard and a gentle kick drum, would never have quite fit on Alopecia. The album is very much piano driven, the sort of Terry Riley/Steve Reich influenced repeating, rolling piano melodies heard on 'Simeon's Dilemma' feature again, dominating 'January Twenty Something', and heard further down the mix in other offerings, albeit with a melancholic edge. Dare I say that some of the dark sober underbelly of Alopecia has been replaced by a slightly more optimistic edge (relatively speaking ) evident on the largely acoustic title track, or 'Even The Good Wood Gone's complete with tender touches of steel pedal guitar. . . read more . . .http://www.whatisthegrain.com/record-review/eskimo-snow-by-why/

A day with multiple levels of frustration followed by great reward: We awoke in Spearfish, SD with the intention of chasing in Montana but a look at the morning models quickly changed our focus to a more southern target in central Nebraska. Both target areas had issues: The Montana target had better shear, but looked to lack the necessary instability to support anything other than high-based storms, even in the higher terrain up there. In Nebraska, the instability and moisture was there to support strong tornadic storms, but the question was whether the shear profile would get it done. The models thought it would, and we needed to be in Kansas the following day regardless, so we adjusted our target to Thedford, NE, but left very late as we'd expected only a 2 hour drive to our target and not the 4-5 hours it would take to get to Thedford.
As we headed east on I-90 in the soup north of the warm front, it seemed like we'd never get south before initiation as there was already a developing cumulus field in west Cherry County and a mesoscale discussion was issued for that area. However, as we headed south begging for the cap to hold on until we got down there, the cumulus field more or less died and as we emerged into the Sun south of Valentine, NE when we crossed the frontal boundary, the whole area looked capped to the point where we wondered whether initiation would happen at all. We reached Thedford at about 5:30 with no sign of anything happening and waited for over an hour before finally towers exploded to our north and east and we were off and running. Between Dunning and Anselmo on Rt. 2 we were faced with a tough decision: The updraft we were targeting to our east was the oldest, but despite the strong convection and broad updraft, it didn't seem to be doing much, while a younger updraft to the north quickly generated an overshooting top and cloud heights above 50 thousand feet. We continued past Broken Bow trying to decide whether to break off and head north up Rt. 183 to intercept the northern storm, but as we got near Westerville and up along the side of the updraft the structure on our storm was incredible! We could not possibly bail on the storm regardless of what was going on up north with this tank of an updraft just to our south, so we headed east through the north edge of the hail core and stopped to film the big barrel base with laminar striations on the bottom and a crisp spiraling updraft above. In fact, the structure was so good that we didn't hesitate getting out in order to video the storm despite the golfball sized hailstones that were falling all around us!
Soon the updraft was literally right on top of us and anvil lightning began striking behind us, so it was time to get out of Dodge and back in front to continue to watch the storm develop. We passed through Arcadia and stopped again with a more distant view of the magnificently structured supercell, then again moved on towards Ord, still keeping our options open for heading towards the north storm. Since initiation had been so late however, we decided that even if we did break off and head north we'd never get to the northern storm before dark. When our storm became tornado warned, we decided to focus on it and headed west on dirt roads trying to get a closer look at the base. The road network killed us though, passing through wooded areas and down into valleys that frustrated us over and over, so we popped back out on Rt. 70 and headed west back towards Arcadia, then stopped and watched the unbelievably structured storm, backlit against the setting Sun and throwing cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning prolifically. The storm by now had a rear inflow band that seemed to extend southwest all the way to the horizon and was just a textbook-diagram looking storm.
After spending 30 minutes or so filming the awesome lightning display, we again headed towards Ord to possibly get a look into the notch of our storm, or possibly take a look at the now massive HP storm the northern cell had become. Our cell died though, and as we got to Ord we gave up and headed for our hotel in North Platte. On the way back we were treated to an excellent lightning show from the northern cell that was rapidly plunging south and back building. I ended up taking a lot of video with the dash cam of the lightning that was illuminating the nice mammatus field just to our north.
What a great storm from a day that looked like it was going to be a failure several times! We finally made it to the hotel at about midnight after a 580 mile trek.
Click here for video of the Arcadia supercell lightning show!
After the morning model runs changed our targets from Montana to Nebraska, we blasted south from Spearfish, SD and arrived at Thedford, NE just before initiation. Soon enough storms fired and we headed east towards Broken Bow as a storm developed right in front of us. Closer look at the cauliflower convection in the updraft. We caught the storm near Westerville north of Broken Bow and as we got northeast of the storm were gifted with this fantastic rotating updraft! We got out to take pictures even though we had golfball sized hail bombing around us.
Fantastic striations in the updraft. Another look at the mothership. We cleared out to the east to get away from the hail. What a barber pole!!
We headed east but were unable to get in front of the storm because of the road network. We turned around and came back to the storm and watched the spectacularly electrified storm spinning like crazy at sunset. You could visibly see the clouds curling around the updraft as the storm spin. Cloud to ground bolt from the anvil. As the sun finally went down the focus of the lightning was out of the vault region.
Later heading back to the hotel in North Platte, another storm crashing down from the north provided a spectacular lightning show which illuminated a nice mamamatus field in the anvil. Anvil lightning highlights the approaching shelf cloud. Awesome mammatus as the storm closes in. Looks like we were passing through a windfarm at the time. More anvil lightning.


Blanche Porway, a Holocaust survivor, would have been 95 years old next month; she passed away a few weeks ago. In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, I wanted to share her story and how she inspired hope, in life and in death.
Blanche passed away a few weeks ago, from complications after an initial fall. I was heartbroken when I heard the news. I kept thinking of her smile, of the dance in her step, of how she insisted on reapplying her lipstick before I took her photo, of the joy she exuded after the life she had lived.
Blanche's daughter got in touch with us and said she wanted to donate some of her moms' furniture to set up a KindWorks refugee apartment. "Mom would have wanted this – she was all about the mitzvah – and she loved you all." We were so deeply touched; not just by the gracious gesture, but by the poignancy of having a Holocaust survivor and refugee to this country over 70 years ago donate furniture to a new refugee family arriving soon. A few days ago, Deb, Alexa and I went to the apartment to see what we could use to set up our next apartment for a refugee family. And today – on Holocaust Remembrance Day – Blanche's sofa, chair, coffee table, dishes (including a KindWorks mug amongst them) was moved to an apartment for an Afghan family arriving in a few days. We are calling it the 'Blanche Porway Memorial Apartment'.
And now these two refugees' stories – from different times in our history, from different countries and different faiths – will forever be connected. And therein lies the spark of hope in these troubled times.
PS: (4/17/18) The "Blanche Porway Memorial Apt" was set up by KindWorks this past Saturday in the DC area, for a new Afghan refugee family. Blanche's sofa will capture more stories, her art will bring more happiness, her china will celebrate more holidays – and may her indomitable spirit touch those who set up the apartment and all those who are blessed to know her story.

COVID-19's toll on mental health and making isolation easier
by Mark Duggan | Apr 2, 2020
One of the most profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is the toll on our mental health.
We're not used to this. Human beings are social creatures. We've built a society around being together, being close, touching each other. And all of that is verboten now as we try to maintain social distance and quarantine ourselves in some cases.
It's all to keep both ourselves and others safe. And to hopefully flatten the curve of the spread of infection. But what do we do to keep our minds sound while doing something that seems so unnatural to us?
Montezuma County Health Director Bobbi Lock says there are resources available for those suffering from isolation and stress.
Lock also recommends giving yourself a break from the barrage of news stories around COVID-19. And that means it might be time to binge-watch a TV show or crack open that book that's been staring at your from the shelf for a while.
Listen to the story:

In general, the more content you include in your campaign and promote in the TrendMD network, the more visitors we'll be able to deliver.
Think of the TrendMD Network of publishers as an ocean, the readers as fish, and your content as bait. The more diverse the bait you have, the more fish you will catch!
A good rule of thumb, is that you should have at least 25 links to content per campaign. Remember, each link you provide does not need to link back to a unique piece of content. You can set up a campaign where you have 25 links running with different titles that all link back to the same piece of content. Bottom line: more content = more visitors.
After launching your campaign, you'll need to monitor your campaign metrics for guidance on which (if any) campaign elements you may want to modify.
A/B testing allows you to test two similar elements to decide if one creates more engagement than the other. For example, you could run an A/B test in which the only element you change is the title of the article. Some of the elements TrendMD allows you to A/B test are content, title, website name, geo and user targeting.
After adjusting your campaigns and determining their effectiveness, you'll need to monitor the elements to continue to improve your conversion rates. We recommend breaking your content into a series of sub-campaigns to gain more granular control and to make sure your campaigns are as optimized as possible.
You can edit your content at any time, even during a live campaign and you can A/B test so there is no time lag in testing. Talk to your TrendMD account manager to get started on A/B testing.
Can I block where my content appears in the network?
If a specific traffic source is performing below average, you should talk to your TrendMD account representative. If you do need to completely block a traffic source, we recommend waiting 1-2 weeks for your campaigns to gather sufficient metrics, before deciding to take any by-publisher action.
CTR or click-through rate can help you determine a lot about your campaign, namely if your content is relevant to the people you are targeting with your campaign. Bottom line, if the reader likes your content, they will click it. But if it isn't relevant, no one will click on your content and it will be quite obvious that you need to make adjustments to one or more elements of the content in your campaign.
Content that is generating the most user interest or is the most relevant to your users (most clicks), is given the most volume by TrendMD's algorithm. It pulls back on content that are generating less interest. Together, this ensures your budget is being allocated effectively. That said, it can take time for CTRs to increase for a newly launched campaign.
In general, the higher the CTR, the more traffic you will get on the TrendMD network. That said, you may notice that some content items receiving a higher CTR generate less traffic than content items with a lower CTR. That's normal! TrendMD's algorithm optimizes for CTR context, meaning – different items can have a high CTR in different contexts than others.
Contexts can be different sites, different content users are consuming, different user segments, or different platforms. There is no single item that performs best in all contexts.
Your TrendMD account manager will reach out to you if there are strategies needed to boost your campaigns CTR.
CPC or "cost per click" is the amount of money you will pay for each click to your content promoted across the TrendMD network. It is very important that you understand how your CPC affects your campaign's ability to scale and ensure you get the desired amount of clicks to your content.
There are a lot of questions when working on how to manage the CPC of your campaigns and what it means. How high should your CPC be? What do you want to set as your starting CPC bid? With a CPC model, you only pay if someone is interested in your content and clicks on it. If you don't get clicks, you don't pay.
The number of clicks your content receives is what will guide you on which content brings you the best ROI and which content misses the mark. You can take these findings and optimize your content through A/B testing and other optimization strategies.
Though TrendMD recommendations are primarily determined on relevancy, we do take your CPC into account. When setting up a campaign, your TrendMD account rep will recommend a CPC.
We recommend you stick with that CPC bid to ensure clicks to your campaign content.

Wu Pao Chun
by Jay from Tainan
Why does Wu Pao Chun attract me so much?
The bread Olympiad's
Wu Pao Chun was born in Taiwan, in 1969, and is perhaps the most well-known Taiwanese baker. In 2008, Wu Pao Chun, Cao Zhi Xiong and Wen Shi Cheng participated in the bread Olympiad's "Bread Lesaffre Cup Competition (Coupe Louise Lesaffre)", in Paris, France, They successfully won the world silver medal, and Wu Pao Chun, also won the individual European bread winner. In 2010, Wu Pao Chun represented Taiwan to participate in the inaugural World Cup in Paris Masters Bread (LES MASTERS DE LA BOULANGERIE), Wu Pao Chun defeated the other seven country participants, and further won the European-style bread group(Pain) world champion.
Wu Pao Chun grew up in Taiwan; his family was poor, and his father died at the age of 12. The widowed mother, Chen Wu Xian had to raise eight children. Wu Bao Chun left home after graduating from junior to Taipei and became a bread apprentice. After the traditional baker for ten years, he was introduced to new bread by Chen Fu Guang.
After winning the competition in the world of bread, he had been working at Pasadena Bakery "Brandied longan bread", also known as "Red wine, longan bread", was what Wu Pao Chun made when he participated in the contest the 2008 World Cup. To show "National characteristics" of bread, Brandied longan bread was made with red wine instead of rice wine, and use the Dong Shan District, Tainan City traditional method to smoke dried longan. He also added the old surface, germ, walnuts, became the European-style bread of innovation in Taiwan.
As for why I liked Wu Pao Chun very much:
I have tasted Wu Pao Chun's bread the same one he made in the international championship. Of course, it's very special, and after a bit of it, my mouth was filled of all fragrance of the bread, and mixed with the unique flavor of red wine and the fragrance of dried longan. Three fragrances, three flavors, but it can't snatch each other's taste. Sure enough, it's indeed the champion bread.
Taiwan is not a very well-known country in the international, but Taiwan has many intelligent people such as Wu Pao Chun. When the other countries people tasted the delicious bread, they remembered there is such a place, Taiwan. Not only can they find the unique flavor of Taiwanese, but also the spirit for perfection that Taiwanese people request. He also let more people know the beautiful place, Taiwan. That's why he is my hero.

Renewed calls to extend Mansfield railway line
Nottinghamshire MPs have met the Transport Secretary to call for improvements to the county's railways.

Ben Bradley, Lee Anderson and Mark Spencer met Grant Shapps to discuss plans to extend routes within the county.
Mr Bradley, Mansfield MP, and Mr Spencer, Sherwood MP, want the Robin Hood line between Nottingham and Worksop, via Mansfield and Ashfield, extended.
They want a freight-only branch, serving Warsop, Ollerton and Edwinstowe, reopened to passengers.
From left, Sherwood MP Mark Spencer, Mansfield MP Ben Bradley and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps,.
Mr Bradley MP said: "Joining up our smaller towns and villages will provide excellent opportunities for people to travel and work throughout the county.
"For far too long, people have felt isolated. An extension to the line will ensure people in the north of the county will get the same access to employment, education and leisure services as the rest of the constituency."
Mr Anderson, Ashfield MP, wants a route between Kirkby and Pye Bridge reopened to passengers as the Maid Marian Line, which could see trains run from Kirkby to Nottingham, via Pinxton and Langley Mill.
He said: "Railways have played an important role in our past, but we need them to play a much larger role moving forward.
"Hopefully we can continue to press government to ensure we have a first-class local railway system that will give everyone in our area a fair chance to move freely around the county."
As part of winning the franchise to operate trains in the region, East Midlands Railway is required to submit a case to the Department for Transport about extending the Robin Hood Line.
Michael Ellis, then transport minister, told Parliament last summer: "That will be reviewed to decide whether the line should be extended, mitigating the risk of reopening a line that might not be financially and economically beneficial."
A DfT spokesman said: "Our focus is on levelling up infrastructure across the country, which is why we have announced a £500 million fund to help reverse cuts made under the Beeching closures.
"This will help unleash the potential of towns and communities across the country, ensuring passengers see new stations and better journeys.
"EMR is required to submit a business case to the extension of the Robin Hood line and we look forward to receiving it."

It is amazing how the Lord works. I just came back from a discipleship class where the topic was "Follow Him." Receiving your Moments For You Issue on David, I found that it could have been a textbook for our discussion. Every excerpt was exactly on point with the perfect flow from the person of Christ (as the Good Shepherd) to David (and the disciple today) as God's chosen vessel, in spite of being a sinner to carry forth the mission of watching, loving and trusting Jesus. Praise Him and His greatness! May God continue to bless your ministry! Keep up the good work.

Dog Attacks Anti-Dangerous Dog Bill Author
Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Quigley_Sharps, Oct 20, 2005.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The author of a new state law that allows felony charges against owners of dangerous dogs was hospitalized over the weekend after his own dog attacked him.
Bob Schwartz, who also is Gov. Bill Richardson's crime adviser, was hospitalized at University of New Mexico Hospital on Sunday night with bites on both his arms, said Pahl Shipley, a spokesman for the governor.
A hospital spokeswoman declined to release Schwartz's condition, but Shipley said Schwartz is "going to be fine."
Schwartz has three dogs registered with the city: a boxer and two English bulldogs, said Denise Wilcox, who oversees Albuquerque's animal care centers.
Schwartz was instrumental in getting a law passed during this year's regular legislative session that would allow felony charges to be filed against owners of dogs deemed dangerous or potentially dangerous and that seriously injure or kill another animal or person.
The law was designed to make dog owners accountable, said Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort, who worked with Schwartz to pass the bill.
"But I guess when it happens in your own family, that's another story," she said. "That's tragic."
Wilcox said Sunday her office had not received a bite report from University hospital, which is required when a dog bite leads to medical attention.

No report? That's odd!
I wonder if his dogs are in quarantine, like would happen to the rest of us, pending investigation. Doubtful.
I hope it makes some one question his bill.

As police forces across Mexico are given mandatory vetting procedures many who fail the tests are being allowed to remain active. The testing procedures were implemented and began in 2010 for all municipal, state, and federal police. InsightCrime.org reported today, November 7th, that by June of this year only 52% of police employees across the nation had been tested.
Oscar Vega Marin, the Mexican Security Minister, stated at a press conference on November 6th that only six states (Zacatecas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Guanajuato, Tlaxcala and Colima) have completely finished the testing. He also pointed out the four states (Tamaulipas 24%, Jalisco 23% Chihuahua 21% and Quintana Roo 5%) that have had the least progress in the testing. Baja California had finished 55% of their testing by mid August but plans to finish by years end.
Testing procedures include physical exams, drug tests, psychological evaluation, and polygraph testing. Questioning and testing on social connections as well as financial information are included as well.
Tijuana and Baja California have been applauded for leading the nation in police reform, which began in late 2008 with the help of former police chief Julián Leyzaola. An estimated 600 police were purged during his tenure. Leyzaola has since relocated to Ciudad Juarez as police chief and is having success cleaning up the recently crime ridden city and corrupt police forces.
