Thompson Pump - Locally Grown, Globally Respected
Thompson Pump
Locally Grown, Globally Respected
A common denominator among many job sites is the distinctive blue pump designed and built by Thompson Pump and Manufacturing. The company has shared its expertise on many projects around the world, including cleaning up oil spills in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, dewatering a construction site for a nuclear power plant in Georgia, widening the Panama Canal, raising a submarine in the Atlantic, moving an east coast lighthouse, fighting western fires, controlling floods in the Midwest, handling an irrigation project in Africa, and dealing with a tragic disaster in New York.
The company – headquartered in Port Orange, Florida – is widely recognized for its proficiency and high-quality, heavy duty pumps and related equipment. For over 50 years Thompson Pump products have supported public works, construction, agriculture, mining, waste water management and more. It also offers engineering services along with pump and dewatering education and training through its Pumpology® courses.
The company was founded in 1970 as a pump manufacturing facility and has grown to employ more than 100 workers. In addition to building its manufacturing business, it also developed a substantial rental business, with 20 rental locations throughout the Southeast and beyond. In 2019, the company sold its rental business to United Rentals so it could focus entirely on manufacturing.
Thompson Pump and Manufacturing has been active in international commerce since the 1970s, occasionally importing components for its products. Since the company began exporting its products in the 1980s, it has sent pumps to more than 60 countries.
"In addition to our domestic business, we have sent pumps to Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa," said Chris Thompson, president of Thompson Pump and Manufacturing.
Exports account for between 5% and 25% of the company's volume depending on client needs, financial markets and global factors.
Entering and growing sales in international markets is a process, not an overnight event. New relationships, procedures and even product designs may need to be developed to be successful. Exports often involve consultation with freight forwarders or logistics companies, according to Thompson.
"Depending on a shipment's destination, we often ship through ports such as JAXPORT in Jacksonville, Savannah, Everglades, Charleston and Miami," Thompson said. "Most of our pumps can b e crated for shipping in high-cube containers at deep water ports."
To help grow its international presence, Thompson Pump conferred with local and state economic development organizations.
"They have been helpful in making us aware of programs designed to provide assistance in marketing and sales, such as Enterprise Florida's Target Sector Trade Show Grant Program and its Gold Key Match Maker Grant Program," said Thompson.
For example, Enterprise Florida made it possible for Thompson Pump to participate in Bauma China, the world's leading construction machinery trade show, by providing grant funds to help cover booth space costs of $30,000. Being at the event generated 70 leads for Thompson Pump's distributor in China and led to a follow-up meeting with a new Australian distributor.
Trade show grants also enabled the company to participate in two editions of the Perumin Exhibition, the most important mining event in Peru, as well as Orbitec and ConExpo Latin America. The Perumin Exhibition provided great brand exposure in the growing South American market and offered direct access to mining company decision makers who would typically be very difficult to reach.
Enterprise Florida's Gold Key Match Maker Grant Program also benefited Thompson Pump. It was on a trip to Chile, made possible by this program, that a relationship was formed with Simma Rents. This was particularly valuable since it helped the company at a time when the American economy was in recession and finances were tight.
"The information and grants we receive from economic development and other community partners has been helpful and is always appreciated," said Thompson. "But let me also say how much I appreciate the contribution of our local supplier network. So much of what we need is available right here through companies we know, trust and have been working with for many years. Machining, welding, fabrication, enclosures – these and other items made to our specifications are available from companies that are our neighbors. Their support has definitely been a part of our international success."

Allrecipes.com's brand new redesign illustrates the increasing confluence of search and social.
With its extremely visual layout topped by a search bar, the site looks very similar to Pinterest. And like Pinterest, it's somewhat of a search engine in disguise: Allrecipes.com generates 1.3 billion visits a year, many of which come from people searching for recipes, ingredients, and inspiration.
When people search for recipes, the results they find are posted by other users, making Allrecipes.com inherently social and community-based. Born of an Internet cookie exchange, the site was started in 1997 by a group of friends pursuing Master's degrees in Anthropology at the University of Washington. Though social media as we now know it was still several years away, Allrecipes.com was an early adopter of the community aspects. The site introduced ratings and reviews in 2000, around the same time as Amazon.
The redesign will take Allrecipes.com from being inherently and community-based to being a full-out social network, complete with individual user profiles. And like every other social media platform, Allrecipes.com is focusing on mobile, video, and local.
Video is mostly for the benefit of millennial users, many of which are still learning to cook and like the guided aspect of video instructions. The local aspects will include showing users which ingredients and products are on sale within a certain radius, opening up more sponsorship opportunities for brands. The site will also be mobile-first, not only because two-thirds of its users log on from mobile devices, but because of Google.
Allrecipes.com will also incorporate the use of a predictive cooking graph algorithm, suggesting recipes and ingredients based on previous site activity. Williams points out that she may "Like" a picture of a gluttonous bacon cheeseburger with a bun made out of mac-and-cheese, but she's not actually going to cook it for her family because her refrigerator and pantry are generally stocked with the same things all the time.
Whether users have certain allergies or hate cilantro, the idea behind the site redesign is that everyone who logs on can connect with other users, based on tastes and styles in common.

Operated by Troon Golf, the course at Fieldstone Golf Club nestles a mere ten-minute drive to the northwest of downtown Wilmington, within a 184-acre property in the rolling Piedmont and Woodland Hills.
Designed when Dr Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry were still in architectural partnership back in 1987, this 6,748-yard course is laid out on largely hilly terrain, with dramatic changes in elevation occurring with regularity during the round.
Hand-laid rock walls (which were in place before the course was built) were conserved and integrated into the design, as were the stone ruins on the double fairway that's shared by the 12th and 14th holes.
Notable holes include, on the outward half, the water-fronted par threes at holes 6 and 8 whilst, on the back nine, the pond-protected par four 15th and uphill closing par five (which plays to a crescent-shaped home green) vie for recognition as best hole on the card.
When the tandem of Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry were working together they were quite successful in bringing to fruition a number of quality layouts. One of the courses that has not received much attention is their effort at Fieldstone in Wilmington, DE.
The land is the story of the design -- moving in a range of ways -- and requires golfers to be able to adjust constantly.
Rock walls, which were on property prior to construction, were kept and used well as a design element on a few holes. Fortunately, the 184-acre site allows for sufficient spacing so the design is not clustered too tightly with one hole cramped to another.
The course plays less than 6,800 yards from the tips and the range of shots encountered is quite fun. Knowing how to position one's golf ball is the central elements of Fieldstone.
Why the course has escaped notice makes me seriously wonder if many people have even heard of the layout -- much less having played it. The I-95 corridor between Baltimore to New York is home to a number of outstanding courses and while Fieldstone is not in the extreme upper echelon it still has plenty of qualities meriting a visit. Without question, the course is clearly one of the best in Delaware with fun golf being its center point.

La Sítula de la Pania es una sítula o pixis de marfil de fines del siglo VII a.C., la misma fue encontrada en la tumba de la Pania en Chiusi y se la expone en el Museo arqueológico nacional de Florencia, Italia.

Descripción
La sítula de la Pania es uno de los ejemplos más importantes de arte etrusco realizado en marfil, solo existen otras dos obras de estas características, una de Chiusi y la otra de Cerveteri. La sítula es un cilindro hueco de 22 cm de alto, decorado con frisos horizontales, separados por delgadas bandas talladas con motivos naturales (palmas entrelazadas y flores de loto). Posee dos bandas de mayor ancho en la parte superior e inferior respectivamente las cuales están decoradas con flores de loto.

El friso superior posee tallados dos mitos de la Odisea, separados por una esfinge: el encuentro con Escila (que se parece mucho a hidra) y el escape del cíclope Polifemo. El segundo friso muestra motivos comunes de la partida hacia la guerra, seguido por hoplitas que saludan y mujeres llorando (con largas trenzas y sus manos sobre sus pechos). Luego sigue un guerrero sin escudo que está realizando una danza funeraria y un jinete. La tercera banda se encuentra decorada con bestias y monstruos, en un estilo del este. En la última banda se muestran otros animales imaginarios.

Si bien el estilo de la situla es menos monumental que las tallas de marfil del período previo, las escenas son más vívidas.

Samantha, Age 13 Diagnosis: Ewing's Sarcoma
Don't stop believing.
A teenager who faces cancer is still a teenager. She dreams.
She hopes. She worries. She has friendships and homework and probably a cell phone in her pocket. Cancer doesn't change that.\
But a teenager with cancer carries extra weight on her shoulders, and it takes some effort to stay true to who you are. A dedicated Justin Bieber fan, Samantha toted a seven-foot-tall cutout of the pop star to adorn her room for her hospital stays. Sometimes, we do whatever it takes to keep believing.
"Cause everything starts from something/But something would be nothing/Nothing if your heart didn't dream with me/Where would I be, if you didn't believe"
- Justin Bieber, "Believe"
Cachet, Age 20 Diagnosis: Sickle Cell Disease
Cachet (n): The state of being respected or admired.
So aptly named is Cachet, and so deserving of our respect and admiration. There is so much more to this young lady, hidden behind that radiant smile. Cachet is paralyzed from the waist down. She and her brother both have Sickle Cell Disease and her sister is the transplant cell donor for the two siblings. But Cachet's smile is genuine. With her family's unwavering support and her own internal grace, she carries on. And, despite what life has handed to her, she still boldly throws on her fantastic, big earrings ... and smiles.
Maria, Age 21 Diagnosis: B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
I can see clearly now.
Imagine being twenty-one years old and facing a cancer diagnosis. Suddenly, what should be the start of a new and exciting phase of young adulthood becomes a new world of treatment protocols and blood draws. Rather than starting a first job, you start your first round of chemo. Plans with friends are replaced with doctor appointments. Life turns down a different path.
But sometimes, adversity brings clarity. Maria's cancer journey allowed her to see a clearer plan for her future. She now hopes
to be a nurse practitioner. Because she wants to be the one who
is there to comfort and guide others who find themselves on that very unexpected path.
Oliver, Age 10 Diagnosis: Large B-Cell Lymphoma
There's no way to know the outcome. There is no secret formula or guarantee when it comes to cancer. But having the confidence to face each day head-on makes the journey seem less daunting. Confidence helps a kid like Oliver to let his true personality shine through, even when he might not feel quite like himself. Confidence gives him the nerve to pull a prank and entertain the nurses. To throw on a cool hat and strike a pose for a photo. Confidence is what lets a child get out of bed every morning, look up at his mom and say, "We've got this."
Aleshanne, Age 3 Diagnosis: Wilms Tumor
I am smart enough to know
That this is not normal.
I am skeptical. Uncertain.
But I am strong.
Watch me as I hold my head
Up high.
And take whatever comes my way.
Michele, Age 24 Diagnosis: Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma
You made me proud.
Over the course of four years, Michele endured four different chemotherapy regimens, five surgeries, multiple radiation treatments and extended hospital stays, countless scans and many side effects, all while continuing her studies at college. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Connecticut and even pursued a master's degree in social work so that she could eventually help young adult cancer patients. Michele was a fighter and an inspiration.
She passed away after her third relapse in 2016, leaving behind a mother who will be forever proud.

Long Shadow is one of the most recent design trends and it seems that the graphic designers are putting it to good use in the design of the icons as well as logos and illustrations. If you like the long shadow design idea then you will definitely love our collection of beautiful long shadow icons for inspiration. You will notice that these long shadow design ideas are more prominently used with the flat user interfaces. They are a perfect choice for the logos and icons.
The shadow design has been in use for a while but was being implemented very traditionally. You could earlier see that the shadow would start somewhere from the center of the icon and extend to the bottom right corner. However, the designers today have started experimenting and have created more innovative shadow icon designs. Not only have they changed the position of the shadow but they also play with the opacity. You can see some icons where the shadows end at the bottom left corner of the canvas.
These long shadow icons are quite eye-catching and very beautiful. At the same time they look very professional too. Take a look at our collection and get inspired.


Who doesn't love the notion of a magic lantern? Just one rub and a genie pops out to grant your every wish. Let this lantern is that it remind us that 'happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.' Take a rub of this lantern and be grateful for all the goodness that you have in your life and you might find that by acknowledging your abundance, more goodness will flow your way.

Der Altstädter Friedhof ist ein Friedhof in der mittelfränkischen Stadt Erlangen. Er ist in Besitz der evangelisch-lutherischen Altstädter Kirchengemeinde.

Lage
Der Altstädter Friedhof befindet sich östlich der Regnitz auf der als Martinsbühl () bekannten, sanften Niederterrasse. Damit liegt er nur wenige hundert Meter nordwestlich der Erlanger Altstadt. Dennoch ist er von vielbefahrenen Verkehrswegen eingerahmt: der Bundesautobahn 73 – dem sogenannten Frankenschnellweg, der auf der Trasse des ehemaligen Ludwig-Donau-Main-Kanals verläuft – im Westen, dem Autobahnzubringer Martinsbühler Straße im Norden und der viergleisigen Bahnstrecke Nürnberg–Bamberg im Osten.

Geschichte
Der Altstädter Friedhof wurde erstmals im Jahr 1288 erwähnt. Noch bis in das 17. Jahrhundert hinein befand er sich in unmittelbarer Nähe der Altstädter Kirche am heutigen Martin-Luther-Platz, bevor dieser Kirchfriedhof aufgelassen wurde. Nach dem Wiederaufbau infolge des Altstadtbrandes von 1706 wurde der Gottesacker teilweise überbaut. Er reichte nördlich etwa bis zum Anwesen Martin-Luther-Platz 10, östlich etwa bis zur Mitte und südlich etwa bis zum Ende des Altstädter Kirchenplatzes.

Bestattungen auf dem heutigen Altstädter Friedhof am Martinsbühl sind mit einer Ausnahme während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges erst seit Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts bezeugt. Bereits 1729 musste der Friedhof erweitert werden. Dabei wurde die teilweise noch erhaltene Mauer errichtet. Dies enthält ein Korbbogentor aus Sandsteinquadern, das die Jahreszahl "1732" trägt. Es wird von Rundsäulen und seitlichen Voluten eingerahmt und von einem stattlichen Sandsteinkreuz bekrönt. Im Jahr 1888 wurde zur Martinsbühler Straße hin eine Böschungsmauer errichtet. Dieser wurde 1903 eine weitere Mauer aus grobem Kastenquadermauerwerk vorgeblendet, welche bis heute ihre Funktion erfüllt. Außerdem wurde der Altstädter Friedhof im 19. Jahrhundert und zuletzt 1966 nochmals erweitert.

Beschreibung
Der rund 22.000 Quadratmeter große Altstädter Friedhof zieht sich, von Süden nach Norden sanft ansteigend, entlang der Niederterrasse des Martinsbühl. Die Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung beträgt rund 300 Meter, in Ost-West-Richtung sind es 60 bis 80 Meter. Der Zugang erfolgt ausschließlich durch drei Tore an der Ostseite (Münchener Straße). Auf dem Friedhof befinden sich rund 2600 Grabstätten, die ältesten reichen bis in die Zeit vor 1800 zurück.

Auf dem höchsten Punkt des Friedhofs befindet sich die Kirche St. Martin – ein im Kern gotischer Bau, der 1435 erstmals erwähnt wurde. Das heutiges Erscheinungsbild mit einem wuchtigen Dachreiter mit welscher Haube, Rundbogenfenstern sowie von Dreiecksgiebeln und Rundfenstern bekrönten Rundbogenportalen geht im Wesentlichen auf eine Barockisierung in den Jahren 1745/46 zurück.

Südöstlich der Friedhofskirche befindet sich die 1853 erbaute Aussegnungshalle, ein eingeschossiger Walmdachbau aus Sandstein mit rundbogigen Fenster- und Türöffnungen. Das flache Vordach nach den Plänen von Emil Zerler, das auf zwei Pilastern an der Wand und vier freistehenden quadratischen Säulen ruht, wurde 1930 angebaut.

Weiter südlich, etwa in der Mitte des heutigen Friedhofs, befindet sich das ehemalige Friedhofswärterhaus, das wie die Friedhofskirche und die Aussegnungshalle unter Denkmalschutz steht. Der laut Denkmalliste des Bayerischen Landesamtes für Denkmalpflege "malerisch gruppierte Bau mit Satteldach, Mansarddach und Halbwalmdach" wurde 1912 im Heimatstil errichtet.

New single released by Town fan Jimi Raine with new album set for February release
So, Jimi, the burning question is why Ipswich Town when you're not from the area?
It's all through my dad really, he got me into Town. He played in the youth team here that won the league and cup double in 1975, playing alongside great players like John Wark amongst others. He got released not long after that by Sir Bobby Robson and after a spell at Portsmouth, he eventually quit football. But I still looked out for Ipswich and the love affair was born. My first game was an FA Cup tie at Anfield and I must have only been about six years old. I've always been a Town fan, despite never living in the area. I grew up in Reading and I now live in North London, but I get to Portman Road whenever I can.
You've been a dedicated fan for some time now, is there any particular game or memory that stands out for you?
Well it's got to be winning the 2000 Play-Off final against Barnsley, which was just an awesome day. I think if you can guarantee winning promotion at Wembley then that is the way to do it, there's something extra special about doing it that way. I remember I went with my dad and my granddad and it was just an amazing day out. Another memory I have is my first game at Portman Road. We played Millwall and Alex Mathie scored as we drew with them. That meant that they were relegated and they proceeded to pretty much trash the place! As a young lad I just kept my head down and kept walking! Then, of course, there were the Play-Off games under Joe Royle. Although we didn't win, that season was so entertaining and we played some great football.
What do you think to the current set-up in place, the gaffer seems to really have us heading in the right direction?
I absolutely love Mick McCarthy, I think he's awesome. He's brought some much needed stability to the Club and he's well respected throughout the game, not just at Ipswich. I love how 'straight down the line' he is with his interviews, he just says it how it is and that's what the fans like to hear. I don't think he should have ever been sacked at Wolves to be honest, but it's proven to be their loss and our gain. It's going to be a really tough, competitive league but I fancy us to sneak into the Play-Offs this season. I mean, why not? If we can have a good run and stay in touch with the pack until Christmas and then push on I think we could be there or thereabouts.
You've decided to try your hand at going solo, rather than being in a band like you have done in the past. How difficult has that transition been?
To be honest with you, it hasn't been too hard- if anything I've enjoyed the transition. I've been in bands before are there can often be arguments about song writing, creative influences, all sorts really. It can get you down. But as a solo artist, I make the decisions. I've written the album, decided which singles should be released first and had the say on what goes into the music videos. I've really enjoyed that responsibility and it's enabled me to work with other musicians that I never dreamed I'd have the chance to. It's really exciting times for me. I was in a band with mates from school but we never quite made it. We got close and even went to America thinking we were going to get a contract but things sort of fell through. Since then I've gone solo and, as I've said, I'm really enjoying things.
Clearly music has always been your dream, so which artists influenced your music tastes?
Yeah it's always been the dream. I suppose it all started when my dad took me to see Bruce Spingsteen and I've been a fan of his ever since. Then I started looking through my dad's record collection and got into bands such as U2, The Who, Stone Roses, The Beatles. From there I was hooked and I love Oasis. I think Noel Gallagher is a top songwriter and Liam is just such a rockstar. So they were big influences. Up to the modern day and I really like stuff from Kasabian, Libertines and Kings of Leon.
I believe?rd has been out for a couple of months now, with the next single released on November 3Rock n Roll bandYour single
is a lot more melancholic, which I think shows a good mixture and highlights my live acoustic side. There are highs and lows on the album and I know it won't be to everyone's taste, but I really think that to a wider audience it can appeal.StrangerYes that's right. I've been really happy with how Rock n Roll band has gone down so far. When I put the album together, I wanted a 'stomper' track that would really make people jump around to kick things off and Rock n Roll band does that. When I play that song, I just think of it as if I'm at a gig playing to an enthusiastic crowd. The next single,
What's next for Jimi Raine then?
, with the full album out in February. Then during the summer I'm looking to do a few festivals and do a tour based around the festivals we play. Possibly then look to go over to America again, things are looking really positive on that front.rdWell the next single is out on November 3

The rapid expansion of technology has created the need to evaluate information system performance. This study makes use of the DeLone and McLean's Information System success model to evaluate the success of the Government Integrated Cashiering Systems (GICS) implemented by the Central Information Technology Office at the Head Treasury Department in Belize City. The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the overall usefulness and quality of the implemented GICS software and to determine how successful has the software been in improving the revenue collection of Belize. This research was facilitated by a use of a thirty-two-question survey which was distributed to 50 employees at the Treasury Department.

Rockville (MD), September 20, 2018 — Gift cards have become—and remain—a ubiquitous retail presence. Among those who have given or received a gift card in the past 12 months, about half have purchased one from a shelf/rack at a supermarket, drug store or other retailer, and more than a third purchased one in-store from the retailer named on the card, according to Prepaid and Gift Cards in the U.S., 6th Edition, a new report by market research firm Packaged Facts.
Meanwhile, e-commerce growth has translated to e-gifting: some 19% have purchased a gift card online from the retailer named on the card, and 10% have done so from an online gift card website. Rewards/points redemption is another driver, with 27% redeeming points/rewards for a gift card in the last 12 months.
Despite the growing popularity of e-gift cards and the undeniable impact of e-commerce on the U.S. economy, physical gift cards remain the standard for most consumers. This trend holds true even among tech savvy Gen Z and Millennial adults.
"While 18-34 year olds may be digital-forward, they still purchase gift cards from retailers in-store. We found that almost half of 18-24 year olds claim they purchase gift cards most in-store from the retailer named on the card, a much higher percentage than any other age group. They are also less likely than average to purchase most from an online source," says David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts.
Further evidence that physical gift cards remain prevalent: some 51% of gift card givers received a physical gift card from someone else in the past year, while only 20% say they received an e-gift card/digital gift card from someone else.
Packaged Facts also found that while mobile app and wallet innovation has been generally strong, it has not translated overwhelmingly to gift cards. Only 10% of those who have given or received a gift card in the past 12 months have saved their gift cards in a retailer mobile app, and 9% have saved them in a mobile wallet.

Dissecting a hurricane: What makes a superstorm?
Florida's 2018 hurricane season will be remembered for Hurricane Michael
For the third consecutive year, after a decade reprieve, Florida in 2018 was tested by the force of a massive hurricane.
The slightly above-average season, which began June 1 and was ending Friday, began early for Florida. Tropical Storm Alberto brought maximum sustained winds of 45 mph to North Florida in late May.
But for the Sunshine State and parts of the nation's Southeast, the season will be remembered for the powerful and deadly Hurricane Michael, which made landfall Oct. 10 in the Panhandle and travelled into Southwest Georgia with major hurricane- force winds…

Close About these ads Dissecting a hurricane: What makes a superstorm? Why We Wrote This For centuries, hurricanes have been viewed as chaotic forces of nature. Today, thanks to daring pilots and advancing technology, scientists and the public are gaining valuable insight into the making of a cyclone. NOAA GOES-East/Reuters The intensity of hurricane Michael, seen in this Oct. 9 satellite image of the Gulf of Mexico, caught many Florida residents off guard. Hurricane models have come a long way in recent years, but scientists are still struggling to be able to predict sudden intensification of a storm. December 3, 2018 Two ways to read the story Quick Read Deep Read ( 6 Min. ) By Eva Botkin-Kowacki Staff writer @EBotkinKowacki Miami The first time a pilot intentionally flew an airplane into a cyclone, it was to settle a bet. When he emerged triumphant, he had not only proven that that the training airplanes used during World War II could survive the intensity of hurricane force winds; he had sparked an idea. What if scientists could study a cyclone from the inside out? In the ensuing seven decades, hurricane research has taken off far beyond the dreams of those first storm chasers. The Air Force Reserve now has a squadron dedicated to the daring trips, satellites snap spectacular images from aloft, and sensors on planes, ships, and satellites give forecasters the information they need to model a storm's path. About these ads That ongoing scientific investigation has fundamentally changed how we view hurricanes. The storms used to be seen as an inexplicable, destructive force of nature or an act of the gods. But now, we've begun to see hurricanes as something we can understand and predict. Today meteorologists can forecast a hurricane's track, wind speeds, rainfall, storm surge, and other details days in advance of landfall. "What we do now at five days [out], we dreamed of doing 20 years ago at two days," says Ken Graham, director of the NOAA National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla. Harvey, Florence, and the climate change connection But there are still gaps in our knowledge of the details of hurricanes. And those nuances could prove crucial to making even more reliable forecasts. So even though the Atlantic hurricane season officially ended on Nov. 30., researchers find ways to study the storms year-round. The making of a superstorm One big question that still eludes hurricane scientists is how a hurricane goes from a disorganized tropical storm to a Category 5 monster overnight. Such rapid intensity change was on clear display during hurricane Michael in October. The storm followed the path predicted by the National Hurricane Center several days ahead of landfall but caught people by surprise when, right before making landfall, the storm ramped up from a Category 2 to nearly a Category 5 storm in less than 24 hours. Scientists have the big picture idea of the ingredients necessary for an intense hurricane. Warm ocean water, moist air, and consistent atmospheric winds all feed monster storms. And the opposite conditions can suck energy out. But meteorologists' models of rapid intensity change don't always match the evolution of real storms. In the standard models, says Brian Haus, a professor in the ocean sciences department at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, "there's just not enough energy getting up into the storm." Eva Botkin-Kowacki/The Christian Science Monitor Ken Graham, director of NOAA's National Hurricane Center in Miami, looks at meteorological models forecasters use to make predictions of hurricanes, on Nov. 13, 2018. Scientists think the gap in their understanding is strongly tied to what they still haven't been able to see well: what happens where the atmosphere and the sea meet. Planes can capture data from within the clouds, and satellites have revolutionized our view of the structure of the storms from above, but the air-sea interactions below are still difficult to observe. Ending up in the right place at the right time in the vast ocean with a ship or a buoy is tricky, and objects bobbing around in a hurricane are easily destroyed. That's why Professor Haus built a "hurricane in a box" in his laboratory in Miami. Inside the 75-foot-long clear box, water siphoned from nearby Biscayne Bay sloshes against a makeshift metal shoreline. With the press of a button, Haus can turn the calm ocean scene into a roiling Category 5 hurricane, complete with wind speeds topping 200 miles per hour and powerful waves. Sensors and cameras cover the hurricane simulator to capture the details. About these ads Haus thinks something seemingly small may add a lot of fuel to ramp up a hurricane's intensity rapidly: sea spray. The tiny water particles kicked up by breaking waves could be key, he says. Some research suggests that incorporating sea spray into models might yield better rainfall predictions. The idea is that dramatic hurricane waves kick up a lot of sea spray, and those water droplets could be evaporating and rising up into the roiling clouds above. That water vapor can inject into the heart of the storm two of the three major intensification ingredients: moisture and heat. Using the hurricane simulator, Haus is taking a closer look at the characteristics of those water droplets flying through the air. But a human-made hurricane isn't the same thing as a real hurricane. Researchers are still trying to pierce the haze around real-life air-sea interactions during a hurricane by deploying more and better buoys and other tools during hurricane season. Across the street from Haus's laboratory on Virginia Key in Miami, at NOAA's Hurricane Research Division, scientists and engineers are developing mechanical envoys to study the characteristics of the top of the ocean. One is a remotely operated vehicle, dubbed a glider, which looks a bit like a sleek narwhal. The gliders explore the top half mile of seawater for up to a month at a time, dipping down to various depths to take temperature, salinity, and other measurements before and during a hurricane. Warmer water provides energy for a hurricane, while colder water draws energy from the storm, explains Ricardo Domingues, an oceanographer working on the gliders, which were first deployed in 2014. "The key is to know how much heat is stored in the upper part of the water column," he says, and if there are layers of colder water not far below. Turbulence from a hurricane overhead can bring that cold water up from the depths and weaken the storm. But the saltiness of seawater can act as a barrier to that mixing, he adds, so that is also crucial data to input into intensity predictions. About these ads The human factor Scientists aren't the only ones who see hurricanes as much more knowable than in decades past. In hurricane country, the general public doesn't simply rely on weather forecasts. Many residents pore over data and models put out by meteorologists about developing hurricanes and share satellite images of the storms on social media. More than 1.3 million people follow the National Hurricane Center's Facebook page, and in Miami during hurricane season, Haus says, people can be overheard talking about the models – not just the storms – on the bus on the way to work. But there's still work to be done to make sure public perceptions of the risk of developing hurricanes are accurate, says the National Hurricane Center's Mr. Graham. "We're not going to rest in trying to make the science better," he says, "but the communication part of this is big. How do you communicate the risk so that people take the actions needed to save their lives?" One challenge is that people's perceptions of the risk of a hurricane often rely on their past experiences, explains Julie Demuth, a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research studying risk perception. And, she says, "the devil's in the details." For example, if people decided to stay put during a Category 3 hurricane and saw no damage, they might think they can ride out future storms just as safely. But storms vary, from neighborhood to neighborhood – and from hurricane to hurricane. "Hurricanes are like people. Every one is different," says Frank Marks, director of NOAA's Hurricane Research Division. And as a result, he says, the current categorization process can be misleading. A Category 1 storm can cause a massively devastating storm surge when it makes landfall if it passes over shallow enough bodies of water. That's what happened when hurricane Florence hit North Carolina in September. Though it had approached the coast as a Category 4 storm, by the time it made landfall it had weakened to a Category 1 but still brought record-breaking storm surge. "We need to change the narrative," Graham says. "We need to really focus on those impacts independent of the category." And that's just what the National Hurricane Center is doing. For the past two years, for example, NHC has issued storm surge forecasts separate from hurricane forecasts. For hurricane scientists and forecasters, getting it right is personal.

Criminal justice schools in Hawaii prepare students for a wide variety of careers in social service and law enforcement. Criminal justice classes provide students with an understanding of the criminal justice system. Students learn the policies, procedures, and agencies that make up the entire system. Classes include criminology, criminal behavior, social psychology, deviant behavior, intro to criminal justice, forensics, investigative techniques, and statistics. Most programs are found within colleges that offer two-year associate's or four-year bachelor's degrees. Many programs offer externship opportunities that allow students to work within a criminal justice agency under supervision. Externships usually take place near the end of the program.


Today had been a full and productive day. I just love those kind of days, makes me feel like super mom. I'm thinking it was do to a mini unplug after 1:30pm that helped me focus.
I've been doing a devotional with a few girls that I met on Instagram through YouVersion called Soul Detox. It's amazing what God has to give to me if I just sit down and listen, like really listen. I think I spent my whole morning studying my bible, loved every minute of it!
You should check it out and if your on Instagram post a picture of your notes using the tag #detox2gether.
Aside from that I got to spend my second day, yesterday was the first, with 'the two peas in a pod'. That's what I like to call Toddler and his friend. There was some fighting, a little hugging and LOTS of screaming and running around. It makes me smile that he has a good friend that he loves spending time with. He loves it so much that even when it time for her to go home he begs to go with her and if he doesn't the tears come forth.
I had to distract him with cutting leaves!
And then this totally happened! I had nothing to do with it, I just took the pictures for memories.
He went into the fridge all by himself and then laid out his items.
10 minutes later, the jelly was almost gone and half the peanut butter was missing! I think that's all he eats nowadays.

Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis must be done in a step-wise fashion since each step builds on the previous one. Here's an overview of the 10 steps to a Process FMEA.
Use a process flowchart to identify each process component.
List each process component in the FMEA table.
If it starts feeling like the scope is too big, it probably is. This is a good time to break the Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis into more manageable chunks.
Review existing documentation and data for clues about all of the ways each component can failure.
The list should be exhaustive – it can be paired down and items can be combined after this initial list is generated.
There will likely be several potential failures for each component.
The effect is the impact the failure has on the end product or on subsequent steps in the process.
There will likely be more than one effect for each failure.
Based on the severity of the consequences of failure.
Rate the severity of each effect using customized ranking scales as a guide.
What are the chances the failure will be detected prior to it occuring.
Decide which failures will be worked on based on the Risk Priority Numbers. Focus on the highest RPNs.
Define who will do what by when.
Implement the improvements identified by your Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis team.
Re-evaluate each of the potential failures once improvements have been made and determine the impact of the improvements.

Referring to Mr. Taft's personal habits, one of the articles [in the Saturday Evening Post] stated that he was a light user of tobacco and liquor. As a matter of fact, Mr. Taft never used tobacco in any form, and in 1906 he became a teetotaler and abstained entirely from the use of intoxicants until his death in 1930.
During the course of my first physical examination of Taft in 1905, he stated that he never used tobacco, but did indulge in liquor when it was served on social occasions. I did not feel that such a mild and occasional indulgence was a serious detriment to the restoration of his health, so I said nothing about it at the time. In about six weeks, owing to his strict adherence to the exercises and diet, he found his general health so greatly improved that he was quite elated. As I was leaving his home on K Street one morning, he remarked: "I am encouraged by the progress I have made, and it looks now as though I shall regain all my health and strength. When I reported to you at my first examination tht I drank liquor occasionally at social functions, you said nothing in regard to it. I want your frank opinion. Would it be wise for me to abstain from drinking entirely?
"Mr. Secretary," I replied, "while I do not think your mild indulgence would ever affect you seriously, I am frank to say that the wisest plan would be to avoid the use of liquor entirely."
Smiling, he answered, "All right -- no more liquor." And to my knowledge, intoxicants played no part in his life from that moment.
Taft was a temperate man in all ways but one. He did not use alcohol. He did not smoke. He did not stay up late and sacrifice sleep. His only dissipation was food.
I venture to say that I am as temperate a man as there is anywhere. I am not a teetoaler, but I rarely drink anything. It does not agree with me and I know that I am better off without it.

Your Greatest Fear and a Flailing Penguin in Gotham
Mike Hoffman | 4 Feb 2015 12:30
"The Fearsome Dr. Crane" succeeds where early episodes failed. Can Gotham keep this up?
Early episodes of Gotham tried to tell too many stories, taking too much focus from the arc for the villain-of-the-week. With so many tales developing at once, viewers had to carry too many story threads and relationships from episode to episode. Given all the double and triple-crossing happening in this show, all of that baggage can become unwieldy.
Fortunately, as the show returned from a holiday hiatus, episodes became more focused, building only one or two major stories. This was achieved while simultaneously reducing the amount of baggage fans had to carry each week, making the series watchable even if viewers skipped the first ten episodes.
"The Fearsome Dr. Crane" jumps back into telling a half-dozen stories, but it does so with enough focus and simplicity to make it enjoyable, so none of the episode's bigger arcs really suffer. The price for more direct story-telling is a loss of nuance and surprise throughout the episode, although there are a few moments that should catch you off guard.
Similar to the Electrocutioner story from a few weeks ago, the villain for this tale, "Dr. Crane," will take a pair of episodes (at least) to wrap up. This allows the rest of the stories to flow and react to the episodic narrative without really diminishing anything. The big question is if Gotham can keep this up. Navigating this many interwoven stories from week to week can be messy, and "The Balloonman" writer John Stephens can't be around for every episode.
Overall "The Fearsome Dr. Crane" is one of the better episodes of Gotham, effectively delivering a creepy villain against a disturbed city filled with messed up people. This is where Gotham works best. Maroni and Cobblepot serve up an exciting side-story as well. Everything they say and do is telegraphed, so there won't be any surprises here, but it's all delivered fantastically by David Zayas and Robin Lord Taylor.
Gotham airs on Monday nights at 8/7c on Fox, but you can also catch episodes on Fox's website. Check out our review of the last episode, "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon", or all of our Gotham reviews.

JUPITER, Fla. - Albert Pujols drove his big, black pickup truck into the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training camp Thursday morning and pulled into a parking spot reserved for owners.
No one complained.
Deal or no deal, Pujols and the Cardinals are still happy together. For now, anyway.
The three-time MVP arrived for his first formal workout of the 2011 season, which the Cardinals desperately hope will not be his last in St. Louis. He showed up one day after he and the team failed to reach an agreement on a new contract by a deadline Pujols imposed, and insisted that wasn't going to bother him this season.
"I'm more locked in than ever," Pujols said.
Music to the Cardinals' ears, right there.
Pujols' truck came through the gate at 7:35 a.m. He half-seriously asked for some help when one large box filled with bats fell out of the driver's-side back door of his tricked-out truck, then loaded his arms with his gear and made the short walk inside. The notion that he would be extra-motivated to perform in a contract year was shrugged off by Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.
"You won't be able to see any difference in the way he practices and plays," La Russa said. "He knows, he's had to produce. He's had the same pressure. You won't see any difference. He's amazing."
If the Cardinals would gladly accept an average season from anyone right now, it's Pujols.
A nine-time All-Star, Pujols is the only player in major league history to hit 30 or more home runs each of his first 10 seasons - all with the Cardinals, the franchise he's often said he wants to remain with for the rest of his career, a stance he reiterated Thursday.
Pujols has a .331 career batting average and averaged 41 homers and 123 RBIs. He's also won six Silver Slugger Awards and two Gold Gloves. Last year he batted .312 with 42 homers and 118 RBIs and finished second in the MVP balloting.
The Cardinals declined Wednesday to reveal their offer, though it was believed to be somewhere around $200 million for eight years, possibly with an opportunity for Pujols to obtain an ownership stake in the franchise once his playing days are complete.
Pujols laughed off the speculation.
"You guys don't have any clue," Pujols said. "You guys are way off on the numbers that you are throwing out there."
He did, however, make reference in a 25-minute interview session with reporters to perhaps getting a deal done in a few months and then talking about "what's going to happen in the seven or eight years from there."
Around baseball, some say that whatever Pujols says he's worth, he's worth.
"The way some of the guys are getting paid, if anybody's worth the money, it's Albert," Reds manager Dusty Baker said Thursday. "Wouldn't you agree? If there's one person in baseball that you'd say well, who should be one of the highest-paid guys, the top three in baseball, you've got to mention Albert."
Pujols will not reopen talks with the Cardinals until after the season. He can become a free agent after the World Series.
He said he would not negotiate publicly, nor discuss any part of what either side brought to the bargaining table, saying he saw how that can backfire earlier this year when talks between Derek Jeter - like Pujols, someone who has iconic status with his franchise - and the Yankees became public and a bit contentious.
"You have to put a deadline ... because you don't want to bring distractions to the ballclub," Pujols said, then made one of what became several requests to reporters to not ask his teammates to speculate about what may loom in the future.
La Russa said in recent days that he believes Pujols and agent Dan Lozano were getting pressure to "set the bar" on the new deal from the players' association, a stance the union denied.
Pujols said neither he nor Lozano had been pressured by anyone, and said only five people knew the details of the talks: Him, his wife, Lozano, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak and Cardinals chairman William DeWitt Jr.
When - and if - talks resume, it's unclear if St. Louis will increase its offer to Pujols' liking.
"It's their money. It's Mr. DeWitt's decision," Pujols said.
Pujols will make $16 million this season in his contract's final year, with $4 million of the money deferred with no interest.
The Cardinals will have a payroll of between $100 million and $110 million this season, and say they can't go into the huge-money ranges like some of baseball's biggest spenders like the Yankees and Red Sox - two clubs that would figure to have interest in Pujols once he hits the free agent market. Others are already getting mentioned, like the Rangers, Cubs and Angels.
"What do I want? Hey, I want to be a Cardinal forever," Pujols said. "That's my goal."

Wynnum school-leaver awarded scholarship to study medical science | UniSC | University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
Wynnum school-leaver awarded scholarship to study medical science
Wynnum's Joshua Dean has swapped one beachside location for another to study a Bachelor of Medical Science (Accelerated) at the University of the Sunshine Coast, with the assistance of USC's highest scholarship honour.
A 2018 graduate of Brisbane Bayside State College, Joshua was one of six high-achieving USC students to be presented with a Thompson Excellence Scholarship at a special ceremony at the university's Art Gallery last week (13 March).
Joshua, who hopes to make a career out of practicing medicine, will receive a total of $24,000 throughout his degree that he plans to complete in two years instead of three.
The scholarship program is made possible through a $5million donation bequeathed to USC by Roy and Nola Thompson in 2015.
"I invested a lot of time and effort in to my high school studies and managed to achieve an OP1," Joshua said.
"This opened up a lot of opportunities and provided me with the freedom to study at almost any undergraduate-supported institute of education.
"After carefully reviewing my options I decided to accept an offer at USC as they were able to provide me with the best degree opportunity.
"Receiving the Thompson Excellence Scholarship means a lot to me as it gives me the opportunity to pursue my studies without any significant financial burden."
Joshua moved to Brisbane with his family from Germany when he was nine-years-old, and is also interested in politics, philosophy and recreational card games.
"My family is extremely proud and thankful to the Thompsons who made this all possible," he said.
"I'm tremendously grateful and honoured to receive the scholarship and very much enjoyed meeting Mr and Mrs Thompson at the presentation."


Location was a huge factor. He was adamant that he wanted to work closely with schools to provide a level of service that he felt wasn't available previously. For the past 40 years, Butler Sporting Goods has been located right across the street from Barnstable High School.
Jim Butler created partnerships with schools and teams across the Cape and Islands and even the South Shore. The unique relationship allows the teams to fundraise through a percentage of sales made at Butler Sporting Goods and parent s to have a one stop shop for everything their child needs. "Team business has increased steadily because stores like ours are few and far between. We will continue to expand our online offerings, especially on the team and spirit wear side. We work with boosters clubs to help them raise funds for their team or group. We are not limited to athletics. We provide screen printing and embroidery services and have many corporate customers who promote their companies and outfit their staff with the products we sell," said Butler.
Although the sports have changed, many of the faces have remained the same. Butler Sporting Goods has become a trusted name to Cape Codders throughout the years. "We now see great-grandchildren of customers coming in to buy equipment," said Fedele.
The staff have created relationships within the community by ensuring customers have the right equipment for what they which might not be everything they thought they needed or the most expensive. "It's more important for us to gain a customer than a sale," said Fedele. This means that they'll only sell you what you need and even take a look at your old equipment to ensure it's safe and fits right. "We regrip bats, restring gloves, repair and sharpen skates," said Fedele.

Fun but short, nothing new to DVD.
Paul J. Mular | San Carlos, CA USA | 01/21/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Little new here, this is for the casual fan only or the fan who must have everything Disney.
1) "JOHNNY APPLESEED" - a cartoon originally part of the "Melody Time" compilation feature, but a dirtier & sharper film transfer.
2) "ALPINE CLIMBERS" - a 1936 cartoon starring Mickey, Donald & Pluto as they visit Switzerland. Originally released on the out of print DVD "Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Living Color volume 1".
3) "TIGER TROUBLE" - Goofy's 1945 classic adventure in India. Originally released on the out of print DVD "Disney Treasures Complete Goofy".
4) "PUEBLO PLUTO" - 1948 Mickey & Pluto take a trip to Mexico. Originally released on recent DVD "Disney Treasures Complete Pluto Volume 2".
5) "THE FOX HUNT" - 1938 Donald & Goofy go to Great Britain to partake in this sport. Originally released on the out of print DVD "Disney Treasures Chronological Donald Volume 1".
6) "HELLO ALOHA" - 1952 Overworked Goofy takes a vacation in Hawaii. Originally released on the out of print DVD "Disney Treasures Complete Goofy".
There is nothing here for fans with the Disney Treasures DVDs."
Disney Memories
Lynne Slater | Phoenix, AZ USA | 07/03/2007
"I bought this DVD to add to Volumes 2 and 4 of the set already owned and because of the selection of cartoons offered for viewing. Two of the five animated shorts on this DVD have particular sentimental meaning for me: Tiger Trouble and Johnny Appleseed. Both of these cartoons hold fond memories from a childhood spent watching Walt Disney on t.v., both in black & white and in color, and then being able to periodically share some of those special cartoons with my own children. Now that I'm the grandmother of 4 beautiful little girls, the collection of "Walt Disney's It's a Small World of Fun Vol. 2, 3, & 4" is providing me with a wonderful opportunity to pass these treasures on to another generation. Considering that so many of today's animated t.v. shows and feature films are designed around toys, violence and overly adult themes, I'm grateful to the Disney organization for giving me the chance to share some of the magic moments from my childhood with my grandchildren."
Colorful Disney classics
Julie Neal | Sanibel Island, Fla. | 05/01/2007
"Cursed with a confusing title, Disney's "It's a Small World of Fun" discs have nothing to do with the classic theme-park ride. Instead they offer a handful of classic Disney cartoons, each loosely tied to a different international location. This disc takes viewers to the American West, Mexico, Great Britain, India, Switzerland and Hawaii. Most are pretty good.
"THE LEGEND OF JOHNNY APPLESEED" During the pioneer days, a God-loving but rather talentless young man travels throughout the West, planting apple seeds for settlers in this 17-minute cartoon, originally part of the 1948 compilation film "Melody Time." Using only verse, Dennis Day (a popular radio personality of the time) narrates the classic Christian tale that teaches that every person has value. There are no funny characters and no sight gags, but the short handles death deftly: when Johnny grows old, an angel takes him to heaven to plant apple seeds there. (Those clouds in the sky? Heaven's apple blossoms!) As for art, watch for the beautiful water scenes from Disney legend Mary Blair. No one has used white better.
"PUEBLO PLUTO" Pluto's expressive face is happy, sad, angry and scared as Mickey takes him along on a souvenir-shopping trip to Mexico. When his mouse master -- strange thought, huh? -- gets Pluto a buffalo bone, he refuses to share it with a smaller pup and soon finds himself stuck in a cactus fence. Shown in theaters in 1949.
"TIGER TROUBLE" Goofy with a gun? Now that's scary! Too bad it's not funny, at least not in this case. Mainly a series of chase scenes, this 1945 tale about tiger hunting is not one of Disney's best efforts. The story is weak, Goofy's voice never syncs with his mouth, and, if you look closely, he often doesn't have ears -- an unfortunate design experiment that would return in the 1950s. There's no real violence though, and the cartoon does have one great artistic moment: When the tan tiger walks in front of a thicket of tan bamboo, the animal becomes invisible except for its black stripes, nose and feet.
"THE FOX HUNT" Donald can't handle his hounds and Goofy can't control his horse in this 1938 short about the traditional upper-crust pastime of Great Britain. Alas, the two characters never meet. But as for Goofy, this is more like it! He's his old clumsy, clumpy self. A nice artistic touch: When Goofy and his mount go underwater, the surface above them has ripples.
"ALPINE CLIMBERS" My favorite Disney cartoons are those from 1928 to 1937, because the characters behave so badly! In this one, Pluto gets drunk! The characters in this 1936 cartoon also look different than their later incarnations: Mickey's eyes don't have pupils, Donald's head is too small and Pluto's still a little rough. The plot: As Mickey, Donald, and Pluto climb the Swiss Alps, each gets into trouble. Mickey faces the wrath of an angry eagle after he steals eggs from its nest; Donald has to deal with a head-butting goat.
"HELLO ALOHA" Like many 1950s Goofy cartoons, this 1952 short is just plain weird. Living in the suburbs, Goofy plays white-collar every-man George Geef, and every other character in the film looks just like Goofy! The plot? Vacationing in Hawaii, the Goof, I mean the Geef, decides to stay there forever -- until natives sacrifice him to the Gods and toss him in a volcano. Adults will enjoy the scene with the hula dancer, who performs just inches in front of Goofy's face, nearly giving our Mr G. a lap dance. And watch this segment closely: though the narrator says Goofy's eyes "follow her rhythmic hands," that's not what he's looking at! View the sequence frame-by-frame and it's hilarious -- as long as the kids are out of the room!
Except for some dust and scratches on "Johnny Appleseed," the shorts on this disc look as good as new: with crisp, bright color and sharp focus. Don't let the low sales ranking fool you. These "Small World" discs aren't bestsellers only because they're barely promoted and always available. Unlike Disney's movies and special collection DVDs, they never go back "in the vault."
Also check out Walt Disney's It's a Small World of Fun, Vol. 1."

Messi has demanded from "Barcelona" guide to get rid of three players
Forward Catalan "Barcelona" Lionel Messi has demanded from the leadership of the club to get rid of three team players: Hatches Dinh, Jeremy Mathieu and Andre Gomes. Reported DonBalon.
Otherwise, the Argentine striker will refuse to sign a new contract with the Catalans.
Messi unhappy with the state of affairs at the club after the crushing defeat of the French "Paris Saint Germain" (0: 4) in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. The return match will take place in Barcelona on March 8.
Dinh and Gomes moved into the "Barcelona" in the summer of 2016. Mathieu joined the composition of the "blue garnet" two years earlier.
The current agreement with Messi, "Barcelona" is calculated until the summer of 2018. The Catalan club has offered 29-year-old Argentine new contract, according to which he will become the highest paid player in the world.
