Local communities lack much in area of recycling
Originally Published: May 24, 2001 7:15 p.m.
PRESCOTT – During this year's spring clean up, communities in the tri-city area have collected about 1,500 tons of junk.
Most of it will end up in landfills with little concern to recycle some of the waste.
Rob Waskow, superintendent of Prescott's solid waste department, said the City of Prescott collected 408.35 tons of garbage and none of it was recycled "mostly because it came compacted."
"We did not pick up any hazardous liquids, wastes and tires," Waskow said. "Refrigerators and freezers with freon were not picked up."
Waskow said there were no restrictions on throwing out other appliances, electronics, furniture, wood products and various junk materials. They went straight to the transfer station at Sundog Ranch and will be transferred permanently to the Gray Wolf landfill at a later date.
"If they were in there (garbage containers), they went into the fills," Waskow said.
Norm Gamon, a local television repairman who has operated his business for the last 35 years, said, "just about everything in a TV is toxic."
"The glass contains lead," Gamon said. "There is about 10 pounds of lead per average size TV set."
Computer monitors, like television sets, contain cathode ray tubes. The state of California this year declared cathode ray tubes hazardous waste and banned them from landfills.
"They contain rare earth phosphors which are highly toxic," Gamon explained. "If this goes into the fills, they'll leak into the ground water. There are no landfills completely confinable."
"Don't break it (the cathode ray tubes) in the house," he said. "Their toxicity could cause upper respiratory problems."
"Circuit boards are toxic," Gamon said. "They contain copper, lead, zinc, iron and various chemical paste."
Gamon explained that many European countries take a different approach to the disposal of televisions.
"It is mandatory in Europe to turn in the TV set, and you get refund for it," said Gamon.
One of the reasons Europeans take care of their land, Gamon said, is the fact that they, unlike Americans, can't move somewhere else to live if contamination of their land occurs because they would be crossing an international border.
"Germans can't move to France to live as someone from Texas can move to New Mexico," said Gamon.
The City of Prescott contracted a local recycling company, Kuhles Salvage, to gather and transport Prescott's debris and waste.
Waskow said, "They (Kuhles Salvage) were only authorized to collect garbage," and take it to the landfills.
Warren Kuhles, who, with his brother, owns Kuhles Salvage, said they recycle various materials including plastics, wood, drywall, cardboard, radiators, brass, aluminum cans, used building material, non-ferrous and ferrous metals.
Appliances fall under the last category.
Kuhles Salvage recycles most of the appliances except refrigerators and freezers, which contain freon, explains Kuhles. They compress and transport them to a steal mill to be melted down and reused.
"Iron is the most recyclable item on this planet," Kuhles said. "Iron doesn't loose its strength. Cardboard does and it could be recycled four to five times."
Kuhles said the hazardous material is trapped in the "sanitary landfills." However, he said, the wood, which is not hazardous, most often ends up in the sanitary landfills.
"We make a mulch from the wood and drywall," Kuhles said.
Chino Valley's Public Works Manager Stu Spaulding said the town is expecting to complete its clean up by Thursday. They are collecting about 53 tons of waste a day.
They collected household appliances, electronics such as television sets and computers, furniture, satellite dishes, junk building material and tires. Only tires will not go to the landfills.
"Large areas of town have been cleaned," Spaulding said. "The tires have been left to the last."
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has certain requirements for the disposal of tires, Spaulding said.
Russ St. Pierre, Yavapai County solid waste coordinator, said the town will recycle the tires they collect in Chino Valley once they clean them and cut the tires with rims into smaller pieces.
"Chino decided to do very a aggressive campaign," St. Pierre said. "They wanted to impact the people who are the most in need."
"There has been mountains of it (garbage)," St. Pierre said. "A good portion of it could have been recycled. "
St. Pierre stressed that having this experience will help them next time to view the clean-up efforts from the recycling aspect.
Prescott Valley's drop-off station accumulated 634 tons of garbage in one day.
Public Works Operations Manager Ken Stanton said people brought 100 refrigerators and 700 other appliances. The town also collected between 700 and 1,000 tires.
Stanton said the town will dump refrigerators into the landfills after removing the freon and compressors to comply with EPA regulations. Other appliances go to Prescott's recycling station, while tires go to the county's transfer station.
Stanton said Prescott Valley doesn't have a recycling program. Private contractors primarily handle that job.
Full Service Recycling of Prescott Valley is a private recycling business that accepts all appliances, including refrigerators and freezers. They charge $17 for the refrigerators with freon, and $5 for those without freon.
"In this state, recycling is not mandatory," said Peggy Guichard-Watters, the solid waste manager at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
"There are few things that are banned from the landfills. There are no appliances that are banned from the landfills."
To make recycling of electronics and appliances mandatory is not very likely in Arizona "because we don't mandate even recycling," Guichard-Watters explained.
Television sets and computers may go to the landfills if someone throws them away, Guichard-Watters added. But, the solid waste section encourages recycling of electronics and white metals, she said. She is aware that computers contain environmentally dangerous substances.
"They do contain some mercury, lead and chromium," Guichard-Watters said.
Schools will accept donations of computers if they are not obsolete, and an organization called StRUT (Student Recycling Used Technologies) teaches students how to repair used computers and how to recycle their parts, Guichard–Watters stressed.
"If they are too obsolete, they recycle the components," she added.
According to Guichard-Waters, Arizona doesn't have hazardous landfills and current landfills are protected and monitored in case they leak.

mHealth & Wearables: Improving Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment and Engagement
Emerging technologies promise to improve clinical trial efficiency across the board — but whether or not the industry will embrace them remains to be seen.
Recently, I've been reading a great deal about innovative new technologies and their potential impact on clinical trial efficiency. I just came across a great piece on the Partnerships in Clinical Trials blog that included some illuminating statistics about the ongoing struggle to keep costs under control.
According to a few recent FDA reports, about 30% of drugs clear Phase I trials, 14% clear Phase II trials, and a mere 9% make it through Phase III trials. Moreover, the approval process can take up to 11 years, which doesn't even include the pre-clinical research phase.
(Source: Hype or hope? Can mHealth Accelerate Completion in Clinical Trials?)
As Sarah Iqbal, the article's author, aptly points out, back in 1975, sponsors spent approximately $100 million annually (in today's dollars) on R&D for drugs that eventually secured FDA approval. By 1987, that number shot up to $300 million, then to $1.3 billion by 2005. While the average price tag on FDA approval today is somewhat hard to nail down, it's safe to assume that it's continued on its upward tract.
In fact, Forbes contributor Matthew Herper tallied R&D spending from 12 leading Pharma companies between 1997 to 2011, which amounted to a whopping $802 billion for 139 new drugs — that's $5.8 billion per drug.
As the number of clinical studies for new drugs and medical devices has increased year-over-year (up nearly 4057% since 2000), proving that a new product is superior to an existing one has become increasingly difficult. Moreover, regulatory trends have made running clinical trials more complex, with a greater emphasis placed on site/patient monitoring and hard data.
Clearly, the industry needs to change if it hopes to reverse this pattern of skyrocketing R&D costs and diminishing profit margins, while also improving outcomes for patients and reducing the overall cost of care. Here are a few emerging tactics and technologies that might be able to help.
1. Tracking Technologies
Patient recruitment and retention is the number one contributor to delays in trial completion — in fact, approximately 29% of a trial's total time and budget can be attributed to the enrollment process. One of the biggest mistakes that sponsors make is to not track recruitment efforts. By monitoring a variety of key metrics, such as digital ad performance, investigator site lead response time, and patient retention rates, sponsors will be able to make data-led decisions when it comes to strategy and budget allocation. Moreover, having a clear sense of what worked and what didn't will help improve outcomes in future trials.
2. mHealth
Mobile health, or "mHealth," technologies are rapidly gaining traction as an incredibly cost-effective and participant-friendly way to enhance data collection efforts, bolster patient engagement, and streamline the overall clinical trial process. Already, major Pharma companies including Pfizer, Astrazeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline are investing in mHealth pilot programs that extend across the entire development process. As the importance of data transparency and patient centricity continues to grow, it's likely that mobile health technologies will play an increasingly integral role in clinical trials in the future.
3. Wearables
According to Iqbal, a growing number of clinical trials are now leveraging wearable technologies in order to "align investigator site and patient needs with faster study execution and reduced costs." According to Applied Clinical Trials, major tech players have already recognized the potential impact of these technologies — Google recently developed a smart wristband for clinical research that can measure pulse, heart rhythm, skin temperature, light exposure, and noise levels; Apple's new ResearchKit enables researchers to develop apps that manage data collected by wearables and smartphones during clinical studies.
There are even devices that can measure drug adherence. For instance, ingestible monitors can track data on drug dosage, dose timing, and a variety of physiologic responses, then transmit that information in real-time to the patient's mobile device.
The point is, the industry has been fighting a losing battle against surging costs, trial efficiency, and approval rates for years, largely because of its unwillingness to adapt. But now, a wealth of new and exciting technologies are emerging that promise to address many of these issues head-on. Sponsors, CROs, and sites need to embrace change and innovation if they hope to remain profitable and improve outcomes for patients now and going forward.

Just because I have been to Paris does not mean I have seen France. It would be like a foreigner coming to New York City and telling people he has seen the United States.
Large cities only give a taste of the local culture. I think travelers may (I said may, as this post might spark some debate!) get more out of small or even rural towns that may not even have a name, to really get a sense of a place.
Of course in a city there are more opportunities to take advantage of cultural opportunities (museums, theatre and the like), but in my experience, the people you are interacting with, came from somewhere else! And that 'somewhere else' is what I like to explore most on my travels.
Being that I spend a good deal of time in NYC in my 'normal' life, I like to get outside of cities when I travel and/or vacation.
Comment below. Are you a city mouse or a country mouse when you travel?

Seabridge dealing with damages from previous mining activities in northern BC

The Association of Mineral Exploration in British Columbia recently awarded Seabridge Gold (TSX: SEA)(NYSE:SA) the 2017 Robert R. Hedley Award for excellence in social and environmental responsibility at its KSM project, which the company says is one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in the world measured by reserves.
Inspired by the work at KSM, Brent Murphy, Seabridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs, decided to replicate the experience at Iskut, the firm's second project in northern BC, which was obtained with the closing of Seabridge's acquisition of SnipGold Corp. in June 2016. The 29K-hectare property is located some 110 km northwest of Stewart and includes the former high-grade gold Johnny Mountain Mine and the copper-gold Bronson Slope deposit.

Previous to this acquisition and to the consolidation SnipGold carried out from 2005 on, the place had been operated and managed by more than a dozen companies. Thus, as soon as Seabridge bought it, Murphy and his team realized they had a few challenges ahead given the lack of a focused environmentally sustainable development plan.
In other words, the site was abandoned and some infrastructure was left there including a processing plant, an airstrip, 3.5 kilometers of underground workings, an 11.5-hectare flooded tailings impoundment, several small waste rock dumps and several landfills.
"Upon acquisition, we immediately began our remediation work to mitigate the impacts of any historical mining activity at the Bronson Slope Airstrip and Johnny Mountain Mine. We started with a general cleanup of the property, removed significant quantities of hazardous materials from the mine site (i.e. oils, batteries and uncharacterized liquids) and developed extensive aquatic effects monitoring programs which identified that the former mine was not impacting sensitive downstream fish habitat in the Craig and Iskut rivers," Murphy said in an interview with MINING.com. The Iskut is the largest tributary of the Stikine River, which is considered one of the last truly wild major rivers in the province.
According to the geologist, his team comprised by several contractors and employees from the Tahltan First Nation had to clean out, cut up, dismantle and store 23 fuel tanks, as well as ship unknown chemical bottles, asbestos, and mercury light ballasts to a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility. They also conducted a $1.7-million dam safety review, which indicated the tailings dam at the former Johnny Mountain Mine was stable and in good condition. Still, they decided to install vibrating wire piezometers to continually monitor the dam's stability.
Understanding the state of the soil and surrounding water resources was also key, Murphy said. Thus, the company implemented a site-wide investigation and sampling program that included the drilling 50 groundwater wells, collection of surface water samples and conducting test pits around the project site.
Although further testing is required, Seabridge found that impacts to groundwater are localized to the immediate vicinity of the former mine site in areas which are in close proximity to the former hydrocarbon fuel storage tanks and the mill building. "A detailed understanding of the quality and level of contamination (if any) assists us in identifying site-specific solutions required to mitigate the environmental impacts highlighted. All of this information ultimately helps us in our future planning to ensure we are developing a solid design," the company's exec said.
The reclamation and closure of the old Johnny Mountain Mine site cost the Toronto-based miner some $6 million in 2017. Together with this work, Seabridge is now focusing on exploring the Iskut Project to confirm that there is an economic deposit located at the site, Murphy said.

Open Innovation in Children's Mental Health: A Call for Collective Investment in Shared Success
Open Innovation In...
Categoriesmental health / innovation / public service
It's fashionable – almost de rigueur – these days for public services to outfit themselves as innovators. A case in point: the 2018 Annual Conference of Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO) advertised over fourty keynote addresses and workshops on "Innovations in Service Delivery." That's a lot of innovation!
In the private sector, innovation is a risky business. It's estimated 96% of all innovations do not return their capital costs and 66% of new products fail within two years. Public sector service may realize greater success, but only if it plays to its strengths: a broad commitment to the common good and institutional norms that promote sharing and cooperation over ownership and competition.
The contest between two cultures – promoting the common good versus maximizing shareholder value – hasn't been going well for public service or the public south of the border. In Ontario, another cycle of transferring huge amounts of wealth to for-profit corporations is underway, as the provincial government schemes to privatize health care (Toronto Star, January 9, 2019).
Public sector service will need to be smart – even scientific – as it goes about its business. The foundations of service science were laid barely a decade ago; their application in the public sector is more recent still. Alongside these developments, researchers have developed a theory of open innovation – first in manufactured goods and commercial services and later in government and not-for-profit services. Open innovation is the only way for public service to sustain itself.
A principled approach to service innovation values openness and commits to engagement, collaboration, accountability, and sustainability. Theory and research suggest that values-driven approaches to service innovation need to prevail in the public sector and supersede today's concoctions of dirty data and paint-by-numbers analyses.
Key Performance Indicators, Strategic Dashboards, and the like will undoubtedly help us in the future. Today, children's mental health services need to demonstrate their commitment to the values of open innovation, before it's too late.

Restrictive programming
Often opinionated code is really restrictive code, and that can be a good thing. 'Restrictive' has a negative connotation in English, which is unfortunate - 'constrained' also works.
I think this is true in languages and frameworks. The gist being:
A popular design choice elsewhere is actually a mistake, so it isn't included
A corner case is a wicked problem, so we would rather leave it uncovered than accomodate it.
A shortcut in other systems can be expressed in more words but fewer total words.
React allows for both local state modified by imperative calls (setState), and global state (props). Cycle.js and Deku ban local state, requiring all state to be global. You can use React without local state, using tools like Redux, but aren't required to do it. Removing even the possibility makes certain corner cases much more difficult to handle, but also removes an ambiguity that requires design patterns and can make component use more uncertain.
Rust removes the concept of null, often called a billion dollar mistake by its creator but an idea that spread to nearly every other language.
React also includes forceUpdate(), a function that the documentation advises:
Normally you should try to avoid all uses of forceUpdate() and only read from this.props and this.state in render(). This makes your component "pure" and your application much simpler and more efficient.
But novice developers often use forceUpdate to write code similar to non-Reactive code, where changes in rendering aren't derived from changes in data. Once this pattern is discovered by their coworkers, they start using something like eslint-plugin-react to ban features from React that can be appropriate in corner cases but are usually wrong.
Haskell, a famous functional language, is purely functional. Most languages are multi-paradigm, like Python or JavaScript: you can use for loops to iterate over data, or you can use recursion. The latter is mathematically beautiful and, in some sense, simpler, but the former is, in many cases, faster and more understandable to a larger set of programmers. Haskell only allows functional code.
Languages and programs are often overbuilt. Most languages have multiple ways to express the same idea, and struggle to consolidate on the good ones, whether by software that bans features (eslint) or conventions (PEP). Rust famously has eliminated features early in its development.
The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is still persuasive, and Paul Graham's thoughts about language hierarchy make sense.
'eslint JavaScript' is its own language, the restrictive subset of JavaScript that no standards body can pass.
'Back doors' like mutability in many languages or dangerouslySetInnerHTML in React are extremely fraught: they solve certain problems, but if they're too convenient, serve as a crutch that lets people skip the learning curve but end up with dangerous code. Even Rust has an unsafe mode that lets you do scary things. These features are all covered with 'danger' signs, but too often those are ignored and the assumption is that if it compiles then it's okay.

College Profile: Young Harris College
Young Harris College is a private, Methodist-affiliated liberal arts junior college located in northeast Georgia. The college was founded in 1886 by Artemas Lester, a circuit-riding Methodist minister who wanted to provide the residents of the Appalachian Mountains with an education. Originally known as McTyeire Institute, the college struggled for the first year until an Athens, Georgia judge named Young L.G. Harris donated enough money to keep the school open. The school was later renamed Young Harris College in honor of its benefactor, as was the surrounding town. The college has an enrollment of about 600 students, including about 100 students from the local area, and offers associate degrees in liberal arts, fine arts and science. Famous graduates include former Georgia governor and U.S. Senator Zell Miller, entertainers Oliver Hardy and Amanda Bearse, country music singers Ronnie Milsap and Trisha Yearwood, Major League Baseball player Nick Markakis and Waffle House founder Tom Forkner. Byron Herbert Reese, talented poet and writer, was a student and then a teacher at YHC.

For JNT entries, specifying ATTACH=IMMEDIATE will cause the service point attach to occur even if the Queue Manager is not running.
CT1000D will only be issued when ATTACH=IMMEDIATE is coded and the target Queue Manager is inactive. BBS1123D will no longer be issued to the console or BBIJRNL. Instead, BBS1123I will be issued to the console only. BBS1128I will be issued when a service point is detached.
When ATTACH=IMMEDIATE is set, MQ Dynamic Context will not be available. It is not a recommended option but is supported for consistency.
In this case, with ATTACH=IMM worked fine and CT1000D message was issued successfully. Yet, without ATTACH=, no CT1000D message was issued.
It is because MVMQ V5.4 does not support MQ V7.1, only V8.0 and above. Thus the MVMQ PAS does not try to do a service point attach for an MQ V7.1 system unless ATTACH=IMM are specified (to do immediate attach).


Rest assured, your current AAA membership is still valid until it expires anywhere in the United States or Canada.
Prior to your expiration date, call AAA at 1-866-MEMBERS (1-866-636-2377) or stop by your local AAA store to transfer your membership.

Datsun 240z Vs 280z: Which One Is Best?
06/07/20197th June, 2019
Not sure whether to go with the Datsun 240z or 280z? Or just curious about the differences? We'll answer your questions in our ultimate 240z vs 280z guide.
Here, you can click on a particular aspect you're interested on within this article, otherwise, continue scrolling as we introduce these incredible cars.
Datsun 240z History
But… What about the 260z?
Cosmetic Changes – 240z vs 280z
Suspension Changes – 240z vs 280z
Which is Best? 240z or 280z?
In the late 1950s, a Japanese car manufacturer named Datsun decided to make a brave decision in challenging the Western world at the affordable sports car market for the first time.
This car would be named the Fairlady, and despite having a unique appearance, its disappointing performance failed to tick the right boxes to compete on the American market.
Refusing to fail, Datsun returned to the drawing board for a second attempt. This time they opted for a smaller, lighter, sleeker and more powerful alternative, which would eventually become a legend in the sports car world - the Datsun 240z.
This incredible car was an instant success, and the humble S30 chassis later went on to change the face of racing, Japanese imports, and affordable driving thrills forever.
With the 240z being Datsun's answer to Toyota's 2000GT, which ultimately to topple the market, the 240z quickly achieved worldwide success, also marking the birth of the infamous Fairlady family.

From 1970 through to 1973, popularity continued until a brand-new model hit the market, the 260z. In true Nissan fashion, this was named after the displacement of the engine, which was now 2.6L.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that this would be an improvement, but due to strict U.S. safety and emissions rules, despite having extra power under the hood at 162bhp, it actually ended up being a slower and less exciting car overall.
With some daring new ideas, such as a 2+2 four-seater option on a long-wheelbase, the 260z never really managed to attract the same desire or appeal as its sportier older brother. With the 2+2 featuring more weight than the 240z and around the same power, it took just shy of ten seconds to hit 0-60mph.
After failing to impress, this short-lived addition to the Fairlady family lasted just 18-months before the birth of the newest member of the family to the North American market, the 280z.
In the meantime, the rest of the world was handed what was simply a face-lifted 260Z.
We can't resist a video of a 280z sitting sideways. Check out what went down when Formula Drift Champion Chris Forsberg got behind the wheel of this Skyline-powered weapon!
In this article, we're going to take a look at the differences between the immensely 240z and the 280z to give you all the information you're going to need on these iconic legends.
As the 240z hit the US docks in October 1969, the 2.4L inline-six engine provided thrilled new owners with an impressive 151hp, four-wheel independent suspension and a four-speed manual gearbox which was capable of achieving 0-60 in under eight seconds.
Datsun's attempt to challenge the European and U.S. sports car markets was a huge success, and not only was the 240z a spectacular car to drive, but it was also more reliable than any other sports car available on the market at the time.
It's main rival, the British-born MGB-GT had begun showing its age with a 5-year old, outdated design. There was simply no match for the performance, design, reliability, and drivability for the money. A perfect, sensibly-priced sports car for the keen driving enthusiast had finally arrived!
As well as its ability to overcome its competitors, the extremely reasonable cost of just $3,500 undoubtedly helped to boost its popularity. (If anyone has one for sale at this price now, feel free to hit us up!)
As sales begun soaring in the showrooms, at a rate of up to 50,000 units per year in the U.S. alone, this huge scale of instant popularity meant that Datsun wes unable to keep up with the demand and before they knew it, dealerships had long waiting lists with people desperate to get their hands on the brand new Z-car.
Under the hood of the U.S. model was an L24 inline-6 engine with twin SU carburetors, producing 151hp. Despite the car for the Japanese market being more race-orientated, it only featured a 2.0L L20 straight-six SOHC engine from the Datsun 510, with 130hp.
If you put the 240 to the test on the open road, it was capable of hitting 0-60mph at around the 8-second mark and a quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds at 86.5mph. On a long stretch of road, it was eventually capable of achieving 125mph.
Considering a 240z? You'll want to take a look at this useful buyer's guide:
The first 240z's to hit the market were the extremely rare Series I models. These were built from October 1969 through to January 1971. Only 543 cars were produced in 1969 and a very small quantity made it to the market, undoubtedly making them the rarest and most sought after.
After that, 16,215 1970-series cars headed to America, making the Series I the holy grail of the Fairlady family. If you're lucky enough to find one of these, chances are it's going to cost you a pretty penny but will undoubtedly be a great future investment.
Between 1971 and 1973, Nissan also launched the Series II, III, and IV and within just a few years, a total of around 150,000 240z's had entered the U.S. market.
After a short, yet slightly disappointing year with the 260z, Datsun returned to their winning ways with the launch of the 280z in 1975, as owners rejoiced and faith was restored in the brand.
As you've probably guessed from the name, the 280 featured an even larger engine at 2.8L, which was created by enlarging the bore of the 260's L26 engine to comply with the ever-changing emissions laws.
Alongside the engine upgrades, they also included a five-speed manual transmission in the later model years ('77-'78).
Not only this, but the L28 engine also featured a far more reliable upgrade with modern technology as they included the Bosch L-JETRONIC fuel injection system.
These upgrades meant that the engine was now capable of 170hp at 5,600rpm with 163ft/lb torque at 4,400. Compared to the 151hp of the 240, it was quite a significant increase.
With demand changing in the markets, Datsun decided to make several components of the 280z more luxurious, making for a far smoother ride for daily convenience. Alongside this, they were also forced to make some (arguably) less-desirable impact-absorbing bumper changes to once again comply with the updated safety laws.
This may have made the 280z the heavier sibling, but its increased performance meant that it equally as capable when it came to putting the power down in a straight line.

Alongside the coupe, they also continued the 2+2, four-seater long-wheelbase version which was first seen in the 260Z, which certainly didn't make the 280 any lighter!
With these new changes came a higher price-point, and the 280z retailed at $7,968, which is still a fantastic deal by today's standards!
Despite only ever being sold on the U.S. market, Datsun went on to sell roughly 228,000 280z's, and around 90% of the global Z-car sales were In the U.S., which totaled a whopping 450,000 throughout the S30 lifespan of 1969-78.
After their successful run with the 280z, Datsun then went on to unveil the second-generation of Z-cars in 1979, with a 280ZX which featured a completely new refined and luxurious design, and huge changes being made over the S30 chassis.
There's no question that the 260z is the least desirable of the three options, but it still plays a significant role in the history of the Fairlady.
The 260z failed to receive a great response from the U.S. market, and many enthusiasts saw it purely as a temporary 'smog car' to allow Nissan to pass the new emissions laws.
Despite having more power, it also had more weight and in real-world testing, the 240z would come out on top in just about every way.
After a short-lived 18-month production run for the 260z between 1974 and '75 in the U.S. this also marked the introduction of the 2+2 four-seater layout, long-wheelbase chassis for the first time.
Despite the convenience of two additional seats, they failed to capture the same level of popularity, even to the present day.
On a positive note, this can often make them a more affordable alternative for those of you on a budget with dreams of owning an S30.
Despite the lack of interest on the U.S. market for the 260z, the model actually continued to be sold to the rest of the world until the end of 1978, however, the US markets were fortunate to receive the 280z in 1975-78, when Nissan eventually ceased production of both models.
Cosmetic Changes - 240z vs 280z
Considering that the S30 chassis was to be sold for nine years, there were actually very few changes made to the exterior styling compared to most cars, and we're thankful for that!
With the exception of the 2+2 models, all of the S30 models actually share near-identical bodies. With the main changes simply being badges, blinkers, and bumpers.
The 280z featured thicker steel to the bumper supports and side beam protection due to updated safety regulations. It also had recessed tail lights, turn signals which were integrated into the front grill and slightly amended suspension.
It was, however, at least 400lbs heavier due to these, and also an inch taller in stock form.
As time went on, the interiors got increasingly luxurious and a nicer place to reside on a daily basis, which is where it began its transformation from a hardcore racer to a more humble grand tourer.
Suspension Changes - 240z vs 280z
Despite a lot of similarities between the suspension setups of both cars, most components aren't interchangeable between the two models due to beefier struts on the 280z.
Contrary to popular belief, the weight additions in the younger brother required the suspension to be slightly different to accommodate. For that reason, we'd not personally want to swap out our tired 240z suspension for a convenient 280z alternative, or vice versa.
Which is Best? 240z vs 280z
As you can probably imagine, this isn't the simplest of questions, despite the incredible number of similarities between the two models.
Our first consideration would be to think of your purpose for buying the car. Some may want to restore a classic back to its original condition to store in a museum, while others may want to carry out an LS swap to run walls at the track.
For that reason, we're going to narrow down the reasons why we would opt for a specific car for your designated purpose, and we hope that it'll help make the choice clearer when it comes to making your big decision.
Restoration – Winner: 240z
If you're looking to fully restore an S30 chassis, we have to give the 240z the win here. Although parts for the 280z are undoubtedly going to be easier to fi
Engine Swap – Winner: 280z
Looking to create the ultimate beast? Despite the additional weight of the 280, this is likely to become rather irrelevant when it comes down to an engine swap.
For that reason, the 280z is stronger, stiffer and also easier to source parts for. You can also sleep easy knowing that it's not likely to be a classic Series I, which would be worth huge money and anger a heap of purists!
The ultimate drive – Winner: 240z
Sure, the 280z may have more power and a stiffer chassis, but there's no question to us that the 240 maintains the legendary driving feel which made these cars so popular. Carrying less weight around will undoubtedly help give it a much better feel in the twisties!
Modifying – Winner: 280z
Whether you're wanting to go drifting, build a frame-laying stance whip or head to the track, the 280z is going to tick the most boxes, for the same reason as our engine swap statement.
95% of 'everyday' members of the public aren't going to know the difference between the two cars, and they're classic enough now that they'll stand out a mile on the road regardless. You'll most likely be safe from angering the purists, too!
Weigh – Winner: 240z
There's no question which model is lighter, and if you're looking for a straight-out-of-the-box handling package, the 240z is going to be the choice for you.
Building a track weapon - Winner: 280z
For basic occasional track use, this may well go to the 240z. Out of the box, we must prefer it as a 'drivers' car, however, the chances are you'll be falling into the 'modifying' category above here, so let's just stick with the more affordable option which still has the same stunning looks. Think of it as a 'good karma' thing!
Engine – Winner: 280z
With 170hp compared to the 151hp under the hood of the 240, there's no question that the later fuel injection L28 engine takes the win here. Whether you're looking for additional power, the convenience of sourcing parts, or reliability, it wins on all accounts.
On the flip side, some of you love the original carburetor engines, in which case the 240 is going to have the motor of choice for you!
Future Value/Collectability - Winner: 240z
This is a no brainer. With the 240 being lighter, they managed this by creating it with thinner materials, which therefore make it even more prone to the dreaded corrosion issues which car enthusiasts dread.
For that reason, many 240s have likely already made their way to the car graveyards and been parted out, which ex-owners are likely to be regretting.
Whether you own a Series I or a later 240, in the years to come these will undoubtedly become increasingly desirable as they are the first true 'Z' car.
Rust - Winner: 280z
We don't like to mention the dreaded 'r' word, but let's face it, as JDM enthusiasts we've come to know it a little better than we'd like!
With the 280z being made of stronger, heavier materials, it's definitely more built to last than the 240. If you live in areas where they have salt on the road during winter, we'd highly recommend placing it in storage for the colder months.
Hey Good Lookin' - Winner: 240z
Despite the same body lines, the later safety upgrades on the 280z did make it look a little less awesomely retro, so the 240z definitely wins the beauty contest for us!
Daily Driving/Comforts - Winner: 280z
As the years went on, Nissan added more and more luxury comforts into the 280z, which undoubtedly makes it the comfier car to drive and a quieter, more refined place to be – even if it does lose some of the 'race car' appeal in the process.
As much as these cars are identical in many ways, they're also extremely different. We think of the 240z as more of the original raw, planted sports car and the 280z leaning more towards the lines of a comfortable GT car.
Where the 240 is light, twitchy and makes you feel like you're behind the wheel of an eager race car, the 280 is more tamed, calm and refined.
There's no question that both are impressive cars, and undoubtedly tick a whole lot of boxes. With their stylish, retro appearance combined with excellent all-around performance, they're a true winner in every regard.
The 240z changed the history of the sports car and left behind a legacy which made the rest of the industry take Japan seriously in this market, which then paved the way for them to build some of the greatest cars of all time.
For this reason, the 240z was literally a game-changer in its time and the 280z simply became a modern-day equivalent. There's no doubt that both are incredible cars, but for us, the true legend lies within the 240z. They're not only a milestone car for Japanese automotive engineering, but a true classic.
They may not seem cheap to buy in the current market, but when you compare them to some of the other classics out there, they're actually a great deal which will no doubt continue to rise in value.
Unfortunately, the 70's era-steel hasn't done these cars any favors with resisting the dreaded tin-worm, so we highly recommend you give any purchases you're considering a thorough inspection. If you can find one with little to no rust, it's undoubtedly going to be a superb purchase. If you're lucky enough to already own one, then congratulations!
It's been an incredible ride for the Fairlady family, and have Nissan continued growing strong after the S30 chassis. Since then, we've had the 280ZX, 300ZX, 350Z and then the 370Z which is still rolling out of showrooms worldwide to the present day.

Top 6 Things You Should Consider When Buying A Used Car In 2019 »
As Microsoft drops the '8' from the upcoming Forza Motorsport game, there are some profound changes ahead. We explain everything you need to know in this guide.


There is a constant cultural obsession with the 'father' and 'grandfather' and 'godfather' of rock-n-roll. The patriarchal nature of our society has the musical historian ignoring even entertaining the idea that women have been involved in the formation of music, either in sound or subculture.
It is important to push back against white-washing and recognize that there existed rock-n-roll roots prior to Elvis Presley. Any cursory Google search will list the names of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis, which still leaves something to be desired.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe was born on March 20, 1915 in Arkansas. She started playing guitar and singing at the age of four. Tharpe, by the age of six, was joining her mother as a regular performer in a traveling evangelical troupe.
Tharpe was heavily influenced by her mother, Katie Bell Nubin. Nubin was a singer, mandolin player, evangelist and preacher for the Church of God in Christ. The Church of God in Christ was founded by black Baptist bishop named Charles Mason. Mason was known to encourage rhythmic expression, dancing in praise and allowing women to preach in church.
Tharpe was not able to record until the age of 23. She recorded four sides with Decca Records. For these recordings she was backed by "Lucky" Millinder's jazz orchestra.
These initial recordings for her were also the first gospel songs ever recorded by Decca. The songs included were: "Rock Me," "That's All," "My Man and I," and "The Lonesome Road".
While Tharpe was deemed an 'overnight sensation', her recordings also caused a bit of a stir. Churchgoers were shocked by her mixture of gospel lyrics with secular music. While churchgoers weren't happy, the secular audiences loved the music.
Tharpe was revolutionary in the sense that she performed gospel music in front of a secular audience and in nightclubs. She performed alongside blues and jazz musicians and dancers. This caused those within conservatives religious circles the fact that a woman performed guitar at all, let alone in secular settings, was frowned upon.
Her 1944 record, according to Wald, has been credited by some as being the 'first rock and roll record'.
Rock-n-roll has a diverse history, full of diverse people. Understandably, the narrative of cisgender, heterosexual, white (and sometimes-secular) does not have room for folks like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, but that doesn't change the fact that her music had an impact. She was a bisexual Christian black woman from the southern United States who played blues, gospel and rock-n-roll. It makes me wonder who else is hidden in the ignored annals of the history of the music we all love.

Off with their head
Home/Horizons, Stories/Off with their head
In an extraordinary pasture experiment, all stock has been removed from vast Wooleen Station in the Murchison region of Western Australia.
Story By Ken Eastwood
At the beginning of this year, Wooleen Station, in the Murchison, WA, received more rain in a month than it had for the whole previous couple of years. Beautifully spread over six weeks, the 130 millimetres of rain made up most of the long-term annual average of 200mm. Thick, lush grass 60 centimetres high soon grew densely across the station.
To take advantage of this green bonanza, Wooleen's neighbours increased stocking rates. But across Wooleen's 1530 square kilometres, there wasn't a cow, bull, steer or sheep to be seen. As part of its counter-cultural property management plan, the last few cattle were removed in January, and there are no plans to put any more on for at least another year. "If we look after this country, we'll be able to get production out of it for the next 500 years," radical station owner David Pollock says. "The aim at the moment is just to survive and get as much growth out of the landscape as possible."
Wooleen, a sprawling, beautiful property of mulga, red granite outcrops and a nationally important ephemeral wetland on the confluence of the Murchison and Roderick rivers, was founded in 1886 and soon developed into a huge sheep enterprise. By 1935, it had 27,000 sheep and 1000 cattle. But then drought struck. "They went into the drought with 26,000 sheep, plus cattle, and they lost 16,000 sheep within a few years, just of starvation," David says. "You look at photos of the time and it was just a dust bowl. It wasn't the fault of the pastoralists – they were encouraged to keep as much stock on the land as they could."
David says that the land never recovered from that period, and grazing over the next 70 years decimated what remained of what should have been permanent vegetation – bluebush, saltbush and perennial grasses. "Up to 75 percent of the palatable perennials were wiped out," he says, looking around at areas that are now devoid of any permanent vegetation. "These areas have essentially been bare for the past 80 years. That land hasn't been producing anything for that time."
He says the property is devoid of the most palatable, nutritious and long-lasting plants. "Some plants are ice-cream bushes – they get eaten first – then some are chocolate bushes, and they get eaten next. Now we're down to the brussels sprouts."
David's earliest memories are of travelling into Wooleen when a friend of the family owned the property. His family took over the lease and moved in when he was 10, and David took over the running of the property in 2007, at the age of 27. He immediately set about removing all stock.
Initially, David thought he'd take the stock off just for 3–4 years to let the land recover, but he soon found that wasn't enough. After five years of no stock, a reintroduction of 400 head across a quarter of the property – for financial reasons – showed that the land wasn't ready. "Where we put the cattle, the gains have been lost," he says, claiming it will be at least 15 years of minimal or no stock on the property to bring it back to good condition in most areas, but in other areas 50-plus years still may not be enough.

Meningitis Epidemic In DR Congo Kills 129
Vaccines against meningitus have been available for more than 40 years

An epidemic of meningitis has been declared in northeastern DR Congo, where 129 people have died, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday.
A total of 261 suspected cases have been recorded so far, amounting to a "high case fatality ratio of 50 percent," the WHO's Africa branch said in a statement.

Conservative Party (open): Centre-right, lead partner in the Coalition Government with 305 seats. Led by David Cameron since 2005 who has tried – with varying degrees of success – to modernise the party from its image as the "nasty party". Ideologies range from liberal conservatives to libertarians to old-school social conservatives. Generally Eurosceptic.
Labour Party (open and encouraged): Centre-left, in government from 1997 – 2010. Officially a democratic socialist party but a broad church of centre to left wing views. Led by Ed Miliband since 2010 who promised to move the party on from the New Labour years and has taken a more left wing approach – although often not radical enough for all its members or affiliates. Generally pro-EU.
Liberal Democrats (closed): Socially liberal (don't mention Tim Farron) and centre-left to centre-right. Junior partner in the coalition. Led by Nick Clegg since 2007 who has tried to move the party towards a more "orange book" liberal outlook. Enthusiastically pro-EU.
There's a lot of Tories.
So if you're unsure who you want to play, then we would encourage Labour.

How many times have I used this title??
As a supplement to the hubs' birthday celebration, we gathered the friends we could in Winnemac Park with kids, dogs, snacks and sporting equipment for an afternoon of fun and relaxation. Lounging around on blankets, I won't even tell you how many Sunday in the Park With George jokes there were. But it really was lovely to be able to casually enjoy the day with so many of our friends with kids who we don't see as much. A lot of fun. Especially since I was holding different babies the whole time.

More importantly, there is a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance at $5,110 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Above the trend line, the main resistance for bitcoin buyers is near the $5,190-5,200 zone. Therefore, it wont be easy for bulls to gain traction above the $5,100 resistance in the short term.
Hourly MACD The MACD is slowly moving back in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) The RSI for BTC/USD recovered above 40, but it is still below 50.
Major Support Levels $5,000 followed by $4,940.
Major Resistance Levels $5,090, $5,110 and $5,190.

Employers sometimes provide severance pay to departing employees, whether as part of a severance pay plan or policy, an individual separation agreement or to settle a dispute between the employer and the departing employee. While the recipient of the severance pay is a former, not current, employee, the payment is considered "wages" for Oregon and federal income tax and withholding purposes, and is reportable on IRS Form W-2 (not 1099 -MISC ).
The United States Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision in United States v. Quality Stores, resolved the split in the circuits, agreeing with the IRS that severance payments generally are wages subject to FICA taxes and withholding. There is still one type of severance pay that is not subject either to income tax withholding or to FICA taxes and withholding. That is payments from a Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plan, which are designed to supplement and are tied to the receipt of state unemployment benefits. The Court recognized that the IRS has specifically exempted those benefits, which were not at issue in the Quality Stores case.
Whether the IRS continues its exemptions for SUB benefits remains to be seen. Employers who have paid severance pay and either failed to pay and withhold FICA taxes, or have paid and withheld such taxes and filed refund claims, will want to consult their tax advisors. As ever, we hope employers will feel free to contact us at any time about these and any other labor, employment, or benefits issues.


Everyone's favourite octogenarian is back and - together with the Old-But-Not-Dead Club - is more determined than ever to wreak havoc. After a year mourning the death of his beloved friend Eefje, Hendrik picks up his pen once again to chronicle the goings on both inside his care home and in the increasingly confusing world outside. He may be older and a little more wobbly but his appetite for mischief hasn't diminished.
When fears arise that the home is set for demolition it's up to Hendrik and the Old-But-Not-Dead Club to intervene. Both heart-breaking and hilarious, we see Hendrik make new friends whilst losing old ones and embarking on new adventures while confronting the realities of old age.
Written with his characteristic charm and candour Hendrik is determined to enjoy his autumnal years and turn a twinkly eye on the brighter side of life.

Exploring The Intersection Of AI And Philosophy
Kara Schechtman (CC '19) has been selected as one of the recipients of the Senator George J. Mitchell Scholarship Program to pursue a one-year postgraduate degree in Ireland. The fellowship is awarded to 12 individuals between the ages of 18 and 30 by the US-Ireland Alliance. Schechtman is headed to Trinity College Dublin where she will study philosophy.
"Artificial intelligence is advancing and we are at a point where ethics has to be considered," said Schechtman, who is majoring in English and computer science at Columbia. "I believe studying philosophy will help me prepare for further studies in computer science."
A point of frustration for her has been finding an area in computer science where both the humanities and computing overlap in a way that fits her interests. In artificial intelligence (AI), computing and philosophical questions can overlap, an intersection she finds fulfilling.
The development of AI poses a whole gamut of challenges to humanity, ranging from legislation challenges, to AI bias, to ethical concerns about potential machine consciousness, and even to potential existential threat. But these challenges have remained while the technical developments of AI has grown leaps and bounds.
One thing Schechtman hopes to answer through her studies is how society can act responsibly despite all that is unknown. "I think it also demands technical expertise to suggest actionable paths for responsibility now," continued Schechtman. "Which is why it is so important for computer scientists and philosophers to work together, and for some people to study both."
The Ireland location of the fellowship is also ideal. Dublin hosts the European Union headquarters of a number of tech giants. And having double majored in English, she looks forward to "nerding out" over Samuel Beckett and James Joyce in their home country.
"More broadly, the circumstances couldn't be better — the other fellowship recipients seem amazing and I can't wait to get to know them better, Trinity College Dublin is a wonderful school, and I am sure I will have a lot of fun exploring Ireland. I'm excited to grow from the experience in ways I don't yet even expect," said Schechtman.
