Geneva to Zurich - How to Enjoy Epic Scenery in Switzerland?
Home Switzerland Geneva to Zurich – How to Enjoy Epic Scenery in Switzerland?
Switzerland is blessed to have breathtaking scenery around almost every corner (or over every mountain range) but it's also a country that is frequently renowned for being one of the more expensive to visit in Europe. For those of you that don't want to miss out on this spectacular scenery, yet don't think you can afford to spend much time there, we believe we have found the perfect alternative for you. The train journey from Geneva to Zurich offers visitors the opportunity to experience a little bit of everything that Switzerland has to offer and it's a route that you can easily enjoy in only 24 hours!
Whether you are planning a quick trip to explore the heart of Switzerland or perhaps planning on using either Geneva or Zurich as a base to enjoy some of the finest scenery in the world, the journey between these two Swiss cities is one that you cannot afford to miss. The iconic Golden Pass route is an unforgettable journey but spending some time in some of the alpine towns along this route is also something you will want to enjoy.
Although it's feasible to enjoy this journey in one day, I would argue that you would find this more beneficial if you split this over several days. However, that is entirely your decision and to reiterate, if you are on a tight budget, we realize that Switzerland can be very expensive and so, we want to provide a guide to enjoying the best of the Swiss nation regardless of how much time you choose to spend.
Although there are a few different options available, in our opinion there is only one route worth considering – the Golden Pass! Heading through the Swiss Alps along the scenic Golden Pass line is an experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
Until we experienced the breathtaking Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano, we really didn't think that anything could come close to the Golden Pass.
If you choose to follow our advice and sit back and relax by hopping on the train between Geneva and Zurich, or perhaps instead choose to road trip between these infamous Swiss cities, there are plenty of places along the way that you will want to explore.
Let's take a look at some of the best stops and why this route will be one that you will be eager to experience the next time you head to Europe.
Renowned as the global "capital of peace", Geneva is Switzerland's second most populous city and definitely a place worth exploring. One thing we first noticed during our first visit to Geneva was the distinctive blend of modern and historic architecture throughout the city.
Whether you are intrigued to explore the "Old Town" or prefer to experience the modern aspects of the city, there is plenty to enjoy around Geneva, regardless of how much time you choose to spend there.
The Old Town is characterized as an area with a beautiful array of picturesque squares and a maze of ancient streets. The infamous St. Peter's Cathedral is perhaps the most iconic landmark Geneva but honestly, this barely touches the surface at how much history can be found across the city.
Place du Bourg-de-Four is another iconic landmark, primarily because this square is the oldest place in Geneva, where the Roman marketplace could be found. But the best part of Geneva's Old Town is allowing yourself to be spontaneous and take a stroll up and down the cobbled streets and simply allow time to drift by as you admire the intricate details still apparent in the various architectural masterpieces.
Take a moment to stop in one of the various chocolate shops because well, when in Switzerland, you cannot leave without sampling the local Swiss delicacy.
Alternatively, for the "modern" side of Geneva, why not head to the banks of Lake Geneva and admire the spectacular display offered by the ultra-modern Jet d'Eau fountain that towers 459 feet into the sky. It's fair to say whatever part of the city you choose to experience, Geneva is a place you will quickly fall in love with.
You could easily spend several days in Geneva or alternatively, like we did, spend just a few hours in the morning enjoying this beautiful city. The beauty of adopting this approach, besides being able to enjoy more of the beautiful nation of Switzerland, is that it will leave you itching for more and want to book a return trip to Geneva in the near future.
After spending the morning in Geneva, we boarded the train to head towards the Swiss Alps. Before heading deep into alpine country, this short train journey culminated in the town of Montreux located on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva.
Located in the district of Riviera-Pays-d'Enhaut in the canton of Vaud, Montreux is well worth exploring for a few hours before hopping on the Golden Pass to enjoy the incredible Swiss Alps.
The train station is located above the town but is only a short walk from the shoreline where you can consider taking a cruise on Lake Geneva to destinations such as Vevey, Nyon, Morges and the French shores.
But perhaps the best reason to take a tour on Lake Geneva is to head to Chillon Castle and explore this medieval fortress…you will quickly realize why this is the most frequently visited landmark in Switzerland.
If you are visiting Montreux at Christmas you will be in for a real treat with a myriad of Christmas market stalls to be found along the shoreline. From the best local specialties to mulled wine, the 160+ chalet style market stalls will quickly have you in the Christmas spirit.
The Swiss Alps…a magical wonderland that awaits you! I can share with you all day long the various cities and towns around Switzerland that you should experience but ultimately it's the mountains that will keep calling you and for good reason.
The Golden Pass is one of the most exhilarating train journeys in the world and if you are fortunate to visit Switzerland with a Eurail first class pass, you can enjoy an experience unlike anywhere else.
The two legs of this journey take you from Montreux to Zweisimmen and then on to Interlaken. Both of these epitomize the word "breathtaking" but ultimately it's an experience you have to see for yourselves because pictures and our opinions will never do this train route enough justice.
The journey from Montreux to Zweisimmen passes through the gorgeous Simmen Valley before passing through the alpine village of Gstaad and then higher into the Swiss Alps.
After arriving in Zweisimmen, you can spend some time in this quaint village in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, or alternatively, hop on the next train to Interlaken and enjoy more spectacular scenery.
We have been fortunate to experience the Golden Pass route on several occasions but this is one of those journeys that never gets old.
Arriving in Interlaken after such a breathtaking journey through the Swiss Alps, you could easily be forgiven for thinking that this location is just about finding a place to relax. However, Interlaken is more than just a town for catching up on your sleep, as there are plenty of reasons to use this as a hub for exploring other parts of the Swiss Alps.
Whether you are inspired to head to the very top of Europe at Jungfraujoch, or simply want to experience some of the amazing mountain villages such as Grindelwald, Wengen and Andermatt, Interlaken is the perfect place to venture out into the alpine landscapes and meander along the funicular railway system.
If you choose to travel between Geneva and Zurich in the opposite direction, you will travel across the amazing Brünig Pass between Lucerne and Interlaken. Either direction is incredible and Interlaken is a town that will welcome you with open arms.
When you think about the stereotypical "gateway to Switzerland", the city of Lucerne is perhaps the one place that should be at the top of everyone's lists. This idyllic city sits on the shoreline of Lake Lucerne and offers the perfect base to explore the beauty throughout the Swiss Alps.
Just a short train ride from the aforementioned alpine town of Interlaken via the Brünig Pass, Lucerne is perhaps the best place to stay if you are planning a multi-day trip to Switzerland. But for those of you wanting to stick to the budget (I know, after reading this post you will be so tempted to spend several days here – we certainly did!), there are plenty of things to do in Lucerne within just a few hours.
From the iconic Chapel Bridge that winds its way across the edge of Lake Lucerne to the historic city wall known as Museggmauer, featuring nine distinctive towers, Lucerne is a city that you will want to explore on foot. This city epitomizes everything there is to love about historic European architecture, and what better place to experience this than in the heart of Switzerland.
By the time you reach Zurich, it's fair to say that you have already experienced a plethora of amazing experiences that will likely encourage you to book a return trip to Switzerland. But don't let any fatigue stop you from exploring Switzerland's largest city because there are plenty of reasons to suggest that this may be the best part of the journey.
Whether you are a lover of museums or enjoy cruising around the lake, there are a myriad of things to do in Zurich. The iconic Grossmünster is a Romanesque-style church dating back to the 12th-century while the heartbeat of this city can be found along Bahnhofstrasse, home to one of the world's most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues.
Switzerland is a breathtaking country of natural landscapes with plenty of urban areas scattered around the nation to add a little extra to the rural beauty that you cannot help but fall in love with.
If you are looking to experience a little bit of everything that Switzerland has to offer, we strongly encourage you to consider taking the train route from Geneva to Zurich with a Eurail pass.
Whether you choose to do this all in one day (very ambitious but possible, though you will likely miss out on some experiences in the various towns we referenced) or across a number of days, this train journey is one that you will never forget.
Why Lucerne to Interlaken by Train Is the Best Experience?
Wow! Such beauty and so much fun! Man, I want to get over there one day!! Your images make it all the more inviting. There is nothing more beautiful to me than pasture land surrounded by towering mountains…the snow caps are like the cherry on top.
Yes, the Golden Pass is beyond breathtaking!! Taking the train and admiring the beauty pass by is an experience we will never forget. Thanks so much for your feedback and kind comments, we really appreciate it. We are already looking forward to going back to Switzerland…it just has that effect on you!
Your posts are so interesting and informative — I am planning to visit Switzerland in September! Using this for travel planning!
You are too kind Sharon, thanks so much! It's great to hear that you find our posts to be informative, that's exactly what we are striving for. We just want to be able to share our own personal experiences and hopefully inspire folks to follow suit and do something similar…when you have a country like Switzerland though, it's not difficult to make it seem appealing because there is so much beauty throughout! Hopefully you will have the opportunity to experience this for yourself in the near future.
So engaging and incredible mate. You must have enjoyed the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey to Switzerland. We will surely read this blog again before starting our new journey.
Thanks so much Emily! Switzerland is an incredible country and we highly recommend taking this route between two iconic Swiss cities! Hope you guys enjoy when you are able to experience this.
I can imagine how beautiful Switzerland, i have plant to visiting that country on august soon.

Why Mexico Is Right to Sue U.S. Gun Companies
By Sol Prendido 8/13/2021 09:59:00 PM 18 comments
The lawsuit over drug cartel violence could be part of a bigger change on guns.
Assault rifles are displayed for sale at Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly, Virginia, on Oct. 6, 2017.
Researching a book on gun trafficking, I asked an export broker in the legal part of the arms trade if he was concerned that his assault rifles could end up in the hands of murderers.
He said he wasn't worried about getting in trouble; his sales, he assured me, followed national and international laws. I asked again: Even if he wasn't nervous about legal consequences, was he bothered ethically if his weapons ended up on the wrong trigger fingers? He was silent for a moment before answering with a confident "no."
I'll give him credit for his honesty. But this same attitude, perhaps expressed with less vehemence, can be found among many in the weapons industry.
The argument is that if producers, importers, and sellers obey the law, then it is not their responsibility what is ultimately done with their pistols, rifles, or bullets.
This concept, however, has just been challenged by an unprecedented lawsuit filed by the Mexican government on Aug. 4 in a U.S. federal court in Massachusetts.
The complaint names key companies in the U.S. firearms industry and argues they are complicit in a vast iron river of guns flowing over the southern U.S. border and wielded by Mexican cartel gunmen to commit mass murder there.
The companies, the lawsuit argues, deliberately marketed and distributed their products to meet the gangsters' preferences for certain types and specifications of guns.
The Mexican government estimates more than two million firearms have been trafficked over the Rio Grande in the last decade. In that time, there have been more than 250,000 murders in Mexico, with more than two-thirds of them involving guns.
The violence also includes firefights between hundreds of cartel thugs and soldiers, resulting in mass graves with hundreds of corpses. Thousands have fled the bloodshed to seek asylum in the United States.
The lawsuit names defendants including Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, whose .50-caliber rifles are used by cartel gunmen against Mexican security forces, and Century Arms, a U.S. importer of Kalashnikovs, which have been traced to Mexican crime scenes.
(Full disclosure: My work on gun trafficking is cited in the lawsuit.) "For decades, the [Mexican] government and its citizens have been victimized by a deadly flood of military-style and other particularly lethal guns," it says in the suit. "This flood is not a natural phenomenon."
The lawsuit shines a much-needed spotlight on gun trafficking and legal weapons sales from the United States to Mexico.
The lawsuit demands the companies take action to stop the trafficking, including to "monitor and discipline their distribution systems" and pay compensation to Mexico.
While the amount is not specified in the suit, an official said that the cost to Mexico, including for added security, funerals, and wider economic damage, could be $10 billion. "The cost of a human life is invaluable," said Alejandro Celorio Alcántara, a legal advisor at the Mexican Foreign Ministry.
The U.S. National Shooting Sport Foundation quickly called the suit "baseless," and said it was a threat to rights enshrined in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1791.
"The Mexican government is responsible for the rampant crime and corruption within their own borders," said Lawrence Keane, the organization's senior vice president and general counsel. The 2005 U.S. Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act also shields gun companies from being held liable for crimes committed with their products.
The lawsuit is certainly a difficult case to pursue. But it is a solid strategy by the Mexican government that could help move the dial on this contentious issue.
It coincides with various suits filed in the United States against gun companies. In another case, families of the children murdered in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut sued the maker of the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack. In July, lawyers for the now bankrupt Remington Arms Company offered $33 million to settle the suit.
This shows that such legal actions can succeed. They could also have a cumulative effect on practices in the gun industry and help stop firearms reaching the wrong hands.
Legal actions have a history of forcing other U.S. industries to change their practices, from the 1998 agreement with tobacco companies to the ongoing cases against pharmaceutical companies for their role in the opioid crisis.
Latin American criminal gangs have embraced social media and messaging platforms to spread narco culture and sell drugs.
Furthermore, the lawsuit shines a much-needed spotlight on gun trafficking and legal weapons sales from the United States to Mexico, and how it fuels fighting that often resembles armed conflict.
Since it was filed, it has already generated a large amount of media coverage, and this could continue as the case makes its way through court. This could also help put pressure on the White House and the Congress to move on the issue.
U.S. President Joe Biden has promised action on gun violence amid a worrying rise in homicides committed with firearms in the United States. Congress could pass a law requiring universal background checks for gun purchases, which would close a loophole often used by cross-border gun runners.
The U.S. government could crack down on straw buyers—people with clean records who are paid to buy firearms for criminals. Such actions could reduce the trafficking of guns into U.S. cities as well as over the southern border.
Other actions could include extended background checks on buying .50-caliber rifles or on buying larger quantities of Kalashnikovs or AR-15s. If the gun companies say they are against trafficking, they should support such measures.
The Mexican government is not challenging Americans' right to bear arms but only how guns can go to criminals who are destabilizing a country.
Obviously, Mexico also needs to urgently battle the corruption and poverty that fuels the violence.
On both sides of the border, the issue of the drug trade itself and how it generates billions of dollars for criminals needs to be addressed. But this doesn't take away the responsibility of the United States and its firearms industry to take basic measures to stop such large-scale gun running.
I also talked to a U.S. gun seller who was genuinely concerned that the firearms he sells may be going to cartels. He said he vigilantly contacted the authorities when he noticed something suspicious—and was frustrated by the lack of response. Hopefully, such voices in the industry can prevail.
The Mexican government is not challenging Americans' right to bear arms but only how guns can go to criminals who are destabilizing a country. If no action is taken, it is terrifying to think of millions of more guns flowing south over the next decade, hundreds of thousands of additional victims, and their weeping families.

Maybe if Mexico got it's shit together and enforced the rule of law then it wouldn't be the Kafka-esque state of fuckery that it is. This from a soul brother who is down with La Raza.
Socalj August 13, 2021 at 10:23 PM
If this suit goes to a civil court and the group suing on behalf of Mexico wins...the implications beyond the initial payout could open up companies to pay out each time someone is killed in Mexico with one of the guns they produced in the US, especially for police/military/politicians as they are working for the government. And potentially could be a precedent in the US for families to file wrongful death suits against manufacturers as well for gun violence, as there are currently suits filed. My guess is they will try to settle this to avoid that possibility.
The gun makers are marketing/producing to the trends in the industry which have gone greatly towards the military/special ops style of guns in the last decade or so. The cartels have followed similar trends from the years of cowboy/rancher style guns to paramilitary gunmen. It seems to be more of a how they are sold and what restrictions to prevent it versus what manufacturers are producing and how they are marketing.
BlameWhitey August 14, 2021 at 2:11 AM
The USA should sue Mexico for trafficking fentanyl by the ton into this country. Just because Mexico is so weak as to not allow their citizens to protect themselves with guns doesn't mean USA can't. And besides I and countless others as an American tax payers already pay FUCKING BILLIONS in aid every year. Not to mention the FUCKING BILLIONS in untaxed remittances sent back to Mexico. Mexicans may not be able to be responsible with guns but the overwhelming legal gun owners in USA can and do. And the thousands of murders in USA every year are committed by the Trump supporting white racist legal gun owner…Don't u know!!! NOT!!! They are overwhelmingly committed
by 3.5%(17yearold-40year old male) of the 13% black population. Only criminals have guns in ur country! Not the case here THANK GOD!! Sol ur a gun grabbing victimized acting bitch! Take ur own gun away cause mine will be pried from my cold dead hand!
Edgar August 14, 2021 at 2:41 AM
What a joke. Mexico is officially a clown government. On top of it being a narco government. Marcelo should worry about the disaster work he left in Mexico City in which he was responsible for the deaths of the train victims. Mexico should worry on corruption and giving Mexicans rights to bear arms and defend themselves. Mexico should has a billion problems. But meddling in American rights is not one of them. Furthermore, the numbers prove that the weapons funneled from the us are not the ones committing the crimes in Mexican. Except for the ones that Obama allowed to be funneled into Mexico to kill Mexicans and Americans. Eric holder is somehow still not in jail rotting for his crimes. I lost all respect for AMLO and I hope him and Marcelo go to jail or die in slow and painful death like the rest of the cartel rats
Well hello Edgar Alvarado!
Your right Mexico is a clown government.
Chinblaster666 August 14, 2021 at 7:38 AM
I love how the article focuses on the hypotheticals breaking it all down and gives the real problem a whisper only mentioning it because it is the core of all of Mexicos troubles and the quote goes
"Obviously, Mexico also needs to urgently battle the corruption and poverty that fuels the violence."
Lol You can hypothetical all the what ifs but until Mexico addresses the real problems theres nothing anyone can do to help those people . The guns are already over there and until the corrupt government and military address their issues nothing will change . What a waste of time and money and its only going to seperate people more then whats already going on . I think we should cut off funding to Mexico and close our borders just to ensure our guns stay here and their drugs stay over there so that way Mexico is safe as kittens without the USA to blame what ever will they do ?
Nifty Fifty August 21, 2021 at 3:31 PM
And yet another excellent example of why we need to build the wall
MG42 August 14, 2021 at 7:50 AM
What happened to the other commenters?
They were slaughtered by an unknown cartel.
S. Myers August 14, 2021 at 9:46 AM
Unbelievable that ALMO blames the gun industry, and when Cartels kill with knifes made in the USA will he also go for the knife industry. The article is one sided. Let's say he were to win, what would he do with the millions while in office....yes you guessed it going into curupt officials pockets.
What about him and his government letting Cartels run rampant, and not allowing the Army or Marina to get involved.
gun owner August 14, 2021 at 10:04 AM
The Mexican government stripped their citizens of the right to self defense years ago. Now, working with the same slippery USA politicians that encouraged the mob to loot and burn last summer, they would like to strip our rights away. So that Mexico will be "safer." ok right. Bottom line, a free people are an armed people, don't give up your guns.
This is bs.i guess we can start suing Budweiser or Seagrams or Coors over drunk driving accidents?how bout McDonald's for marketing food that's unhealthy and kills people?what about the large numbers of guns that don't come from America? Can we sue mexico over all the fentanyl deaths? They are allowing it to be trafficked into the u.s..this lawsuit is ridiculous.show me where they are dealing with cartels directly n I'm on bored
Not known August 15, 2021 at 2:33 AM
This is the stupidest thing ever. Are they going to sue russia or china for the ak47.
2:17 I agree with you. Obradors cabinet has been doing things to rattle the US, but on the long run they end up looking like clowns.
Mexico wants to have ties with North Korea.
Mexico accepted Avo Morales from Bolivia.eluvets
Mexico delivers aid to Cuba
Mexico will accept Wkuleaks Assage
Mexico will accept Russian made covid19 vaccine.
SIR August 18, 2021 at 1:12 AM
12:22 the US gladly accepted sending most all US jobs and whole industries to Communist China, now China is gladly fisting the US, but NO Mexican is involved in that.
Sir de Gorege
There is cheap labor abound in China, Mexico, India, companies save and make a profit when things are manufactured overseas. A shirt made in Mexico the company would pay $3.00 wholesale and Mark up the shirt to $18.00
Mr. Sol Prendido, please explain what you mean by the statement "legal weapons sales from the United States to Mexico" AND then justify how "legal transactions" warrant awards to the Mexican government (via penalties to gun manufacturers) when you yourself state no laws were broken by said manufacturers?


Kinesio Taping Method is a taping technique that is designed to improve healing within muscle tissue while providing support and stability to the musculoskeletal system. Kinesio Taping targets and stimulates receptors within the muscular system to reset muscle tension and length. Depending on the pattern and the tension used when applying the tape, different effects can be seen within the tissue. The tape can be used to stimulate lymphatic drainage, and it can also be used to turn muscle activation up or down neurologically. Many professional athletes have utilized this therapy successfully. However, Kinesiotape is not only for professional athletes. There are many applications for the average patient, and many of Dr. Eaton's patients have been turned on to the therapeutic benefits of Kinesiotape. Dr. Eaton utilizes the tape in a number of conditions including plantar fasciitis, muscle strain, ligament sprain, rotator cuff syndrome, and tendonitis. Kinesiotape has proven to be a critical adjunctive therapy in our practice. Combined with muscle rehabilitation and chiropractic manipulation, maximum results are seen very quickly and the patient is able to return to normal activity.

Recklessly, Annabel squanders away a good part of her father's wealth and comes dangerously close to wrecking her life with drugs. Her childhood best friend Jacqueline attempts to reason with her, convinced that deep down Annabel is a wonderful person of a kind and compassionate heart. After she loses a million dollars in a Las Vegas casino, Mr. Rogers sends Annabelle on a one-year training at one of his hotels in Italy – her mother's birthplace.
At this unexpected turning of tables in her life, faced with her father's bankruptcy and away from her home in America, Annabel proves that after all, the blood of the Rogers family runs through her veins. Forced to bear her cross of poverty, she finally acts with great will, resilience and vision. As she fights for her own bread she meets the love of her life in the face of her humble bodyguard Michael. While attending the spiritual school of the respected tutor and friend of her father's Dr. Lee, Annabel also makes some real friends in Italy. She remembers how her father who used to support financially the establishment of spiritual institutions in Italy and America always said that sons and daughters of rich parents received equally warm welcome there. Many of the affluent realize that if their children do not undergo a sentient spiritual path when young they could easily grow up to fall victims of the merciless whims of prosperity just as Annabel did. Poor children are also sometimes sustained by wealthy individuals to receive this type of spiritual schooling, and Annabel finds out that Michael was one of Dr. Lee's disciples. She slowly realizes the truth about her own life – she sees the emptiness of her existence up until now as well as the power of the Universal law which directs human evolution. She suffers first-hand the heavy blow of life's boomerang but she grasps its moral: you only reap what you sow.

Room To Grow: Healthcare Construction Outlook
Posted on November 4 2020
Economic conditions across all sectors have been in a state of volatility since the COVID-19 pandemic arrived. It's no surprise that many businesses and organizations are adopting a "wait and see" approach before investing in modernized or new facilities. Virginia Business explored the construction industry's outlook last month in the feature Slowdowns Ahead.
"COVID-related disruptions are certainly contributing to uncertainty across the board," Shockey President Jeff Boehm said in the story. "Neither the public sector nor the private sector is sure what's coming next."
One of the outliers to this period of uncertainty is healthcare. According to the AIA Consensus Construction Forecast Panel — a compiled aggregated data set consisting of leading economic forecasters — healthcare spending is projected to increase by two percent this year and another three percent in 2021.
The chart below contains three of the most positive outlooks (among eight sources of data) sourced by the AIA as part of its Consensus Construction Forecast:
Construction Industry Forecast: Health Sector
Actual Spending
(Billions of $)
Forecast Change
Associated Builders
& Contractors
44.2 5.1% 7.0%
Dodge Data
& Analytics 44.2 3.5% 10.5%
Moody's Analytics 45.6 13.8% 3.4%
"Healthcare construction is one of the few sectors expected to avoid a recession in this cycle," said Kermit Baker, Chief Economist for the American Institute of Architects (July 20, 2020). "Even though elective health treatments have fallen off in recent months, demographics remain very positive for healthcare spending moving forward."
The Rise of the Community Healthcare System
As the pandemic's impact on the industry continues to ripple out from urban acute care facilities, healthcare systems have been focused on addressing the needs of patients within the communities in which they live. Here are a few of Shockey's recent and current community healthcare projects:
Heart & Vascular Center Addition in Winchester, Virginia
A new four-story wing now houses a 66,000-SF expansion to Winchester Medical Center's (WMC) Heart & Vascular Center. Giving patients easy access to imaging and other services, the addition houses the cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program, an outpatient laboratory and new clinic and office space for more than 40 cardiovascular physicians and advanced practice clinicians (APCs). Architect: Noelker & Hull Associates, Inc.
New Ambulatory Care Center in Berkeley County, West Virginia
In Spring Mills, we built a two-story ambulatory center with space for 40+ medical providers. The finished facility provides Urgent Care, occupational health services, imaging, family medicine, office space, and exam rooms for specialists in cardiology and surgical oncology. Valley Health's 40,000 SF medical office building sits just off of Interstate-81 in West Virginia's rapidly developing Eastern Panhandle. Architect: TouchStone Design, PLC
New Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, Virginia
In the northern Shenandoah Valley, a three-story replacement hospital serves as a critical-access care facility with 25 acute care/skilled beds and 16 long-term care beds, an ER and outpatient services. The new 176,000 SF hospital has 36 private rooms, 18 emergency beds, six observation beds, three operating rooms, a cardiac catheterization lab and diagnostic imaging rooms. The building is LEED-certified. Architect: Perkins + Will
Multi-Phased Hospital Expansion in Petersburg, West Virginia
For Grant Memorial Hospital, we will convert inpatient rooms into critical care rooms with accessible bathrooms and update medical gasses, casework and finishes. Next, we will demolish a special care unit and build a pharmacy with a cleanroom suite. The final phase transforms administrative offices into an oncology infusion clinic. Shockey will work while the hospital is occupied, following strict COVID-19 protocols. Architect: Kahler Slater
Commercial Construction Never Sleeps
The construction industry was deemed essential in the first few weeks of the pandemic, so Shockey has kept on building, delivering these healthcare projects on time. "[Director of Safety] Ron [Collins] and our safety team quickly sprung into action," said Boehm, "going above and beyond to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus and keep our team and clients safe. Ron dedicated hours and hours of his time — running around on the hunt to acquire disinfectant solutions and masks when they were in short supply and the virus began spreading."
Early in the crisis, Shockey's safety team developed and implemented a program that included screening procedures, social distancing, face coverings, and easy access to disinfectant solutions. Shockey managed crew sizes and reduced the amount of close contact between workers. "We also require disinfecting, through daily cleaning of surfaces and common work areas, on each site. This is in addition to the day-to-day operations of a worksite and its teams," Collins noted.
According to Collins, Shockey's site leaders have taken a proactive stance, and flexibility has been key. When it came to PPE, for example, modifications had to be made because of vision and respiratory challenges. "Anti-fog became a battle, but our employees came through," he said, "finding face coverings with better seals around the nose and cheeks."
"It's becoming clear that construction will look different as we move beyond the COVID-19 crisis to the new normal," said Boehm.
Despite the pandemic, Shockey's healthcare team remains dedicated and committed to providing healthcare building solutions that provide the safest, most efficient, appropriate, and value-driven service possible.
Said Boehm, "Whatever's next, we'll adapt, and when someone needs a new healthcare facility, we'll be here."

I've been putting off setting up multisite on my localhost for ages, mostly because in the past I've found getting Apache virtual hosts to work can be a bit tricky: not impossible, but the sort of thing where I could easily lose an hour on a minor thing I've forgotten to do. And after all, with a shiny new iMac and a hard drive whose proportions I can't even remember, why not just 'drush dl' all over again?
But I'm actually working on a multisite project at the moment, and suddenly getting this to work becomes more interesting than having another SVN copy of my code kicking around.
Your lolcathost(*) sees just another subfolder that's a site; the symbolic link sends you to the existing Drupal folder; and finally, the multisite system sees that you're browsing 'localhost/drupal-subsite' and selects the localhost.drupal-subsite folder as the one holding your site.
So when I next get a moment I'll consolidate the various test sites I have, and when I have more than one patch on the go that I want to keep segregated, I can just add a multisite, get a fresh CVS copy of the code, and get going.
I've added details to the documentation too.
(*) yes, I keep typing it like that.


In 1787, at the age of 81, Benjamin Franklin made this astute observation about freedom and moral character: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
Franklin recognized that political freedom is directly tied to a people's ability to govern their moral behavior. The less well behaved, the greater the need for rule-makers and rule-enforcers. Personal morality leads to social morality. Without personal virtue, all the laws in the world can only dictate punishment, they cannot empower a person to right conduct.
Every educator wants students to act virtuously. Virtuous behavior goes beyond merely proper behavior. A student can conform to rules of conduct out of fear of punishment rather than from a sense of right and wrong. Acting virtuously arises from a moral conscience which prompts the actions. Certainly, conduct and character formation are intertwined, and expecting good behavior contributes to the formation of character. But, without virtuous character, students merely submit to rules until they are not being watched. Thus, as Franklin would say, "they have more need of masters" to oversee their conduct.
"The psalmist loves the law. . . because he is happier living in a world where people feel addressed and summoned by God. It is law that keeps us from returning to the jungle, to a situation where the strongest take what they want."
Laying down rules is certainly a simple way to point students to right conduct. But Kushner makes the point that, for people of faith, behind the law is God. This answers the question of why they should conduct themselves morally. Of course, this gets sticky for public school educators who cannot teach that students should act virtuously because God requires it.
It is interesting, however, that the vast majority of students today consider religion to be an important part of their lives. The Josephson Institute of Ethics surveyed over 20,000 middle school and high school students regarding their ethics. In answer to the question, "how important to you is your religion?" three out of four (76%) middle school students and better than six out of ten (63.2%) high school students indicated religion to be "essential" or "very important" to them. Only 9.3 percent and 14.8 percent, respectively, indicated religion was "unimportant" to their personal lives. Nearly the same percentages were found in answer to the question, "how important is living up to your religious standards?"
With this in mind, there is a way for public schools to help students form a moral conscience directly from their religious faith, and at the same time not violate any First Amendment prohibitions concerning church-state relations. Public schools can encourage students to act on their already-existing moral conscience derived from their religious faith. A school need not endorse a religion in order to encourage students to act on the religious principles they, at least, say they desire to practice.
How, then, can a school encourage the fostering of a moral conscience formed by religion without actually endorsing or establishing that religion? A school can inform students of their religious rights on campus and encourage them to exercise their rights. The issue, then, is one of rights, not religion.
Too many school administrators prefer a "don't-ask-don't-tell" approach to the subject of religious rights on campus. The attitude is, "don't ask me about your rights, and I won't tell you what they are." However, this reluctance to be pro-active about explaining students' religious rights is unnecessary, especially in light of the U.S. Department of Education's document on religious expression in public schools.
"...Schools do more than train children's minds. They also help to nurture their souls by reinforcing the values they learn at home and in their communities. I believe that one of the best ways we can help our schools do this is by supporting students' rights to voluntarily practice their religious beliefs, including prayer in schools..."
"The great advantage of the presidential guidelines, however, is that they allow school districts to avoid contentious disputes by developing a common understanding among students, teachers, parents and the broader community that the First Amendment does in fact provide ample room for religious expression by students while at the same time maintaining freedom from government-sponsored religion."
"I encourage you to distribute this guidance widely in your community and to discuss its contents and importance with school administrators, teachers, parents, and students."
With such resounding support, a school principal can confidently have teachers explain to students their religious rights at the beginning of the school year. This may, at first, sound like a radical idea. After all, that would involve actually explaining to students things like their right to pray, to talk about their faith with classmates, to express their faith in class assignments, to wear clothing with religious symbols, and to read their religious scriptures at school. Just the thought of having every teacher in a school do this is enough to cause some administrators to reach for the antacid.
But just imagine the impact this could have on the moral climate of the school. As we have already seen, the majority of students at every grade level consider their faith to be important. If the school makes a point of, in essence, saying, "We welcome you to live your faith on campus," the climate will be more inclusive for students of faith. Such action will remind all students that a person's development is more than just education of the brain, it is also the nurturing of the heart.
Currently, we may be sending the wrong signal to students. Because public schools are too often viewed as religion-free zones, we may be subtly implying to students that religion (and the conduct it motivates) is not all that important to one's development. On the other hand, by openly affirming students' religious rights, schools will be inviting students to conduct themselves by the dictates of their religious beliefs. Such action by schools certainly cannot hurt, and it may encourage students to live by the moral conscience their religion has cultivated in them.
Some may fear that being this up front about religion will invite the ACLU to bring a law suit. But, how can any organization dedicated to promoting civil liberties be opposed to telling people what their civil liberties are? The school officials who have teachers explain students' religious rights at the beginning of the school year will not be establishing religion, they will be promoting students' rights. They will be acting on what both Secretary Riley and Secretary Paige recommend they do.
Can't this be done by drafting a memo to parents or including it in the student handbook? Does a school have to verbalize the students' rights? I believe the impact of actually talking about it, of actually telling students their rights is what will have a positive affect on the school climate.
Developing a moral conscience in children and young people is a multifaceted and lengthy process. It involves many inputs in a student's life, and schools cannot be expected to be the only molder of character. Neither do schools need to be silent regarding one of the most powerful molders of character -- religion. Moral conscience will be better supported when the adults, the authority figures, in schools say to students of all grades that religion is a welcome aspect of peoples' lives, and that it is welcome to be expressed on campus.
1. Obtain a copy of the U.S. Department of Education's "Religious Expression in Public Schools: A Statement of Principles". While this document is from 2003, it is still available on the Department's website and considered current by Department officials.
2. Conduct a meeting with teachers in each building to review and discuss the guidelines. Explain the need to inform students of their religious rights and how those rights should be explained by each teacher.
3. Create copies of the guidelines to hand out to students and send home to parents.


I have realized this before, but I never actually wanted to acknowldege it. There will be people who let you down, push you down, and kick you while you're still on the ground. There will be people who bully you and make you feel absolutely worthless. They will make you feel as though your life is pointless and that you have no reason to live. Worst of all, these people can be the very people you are closest to.
I want to let you all know that what they say and think about you is not true; what they do to you is only to hide the pain they themselvves are feeling. This may seem impossible, but don't let it affect you. Stay true to who you are and always remember that there is good in you and you matter to someone in this world. No matter what they say or what they do, stand strong.
I tend to watch videos on YouTube a lot, and my favorite channel without question is Jubilee Project. The purpose of this channel is spread awareness of different types of illnesses and disabilities. In this video, a guy is trying to talk to a girl he thinks is cute, but she won't talk to him and so he decides to use a different approach in talking to her. At the end of the video he learns of the reason why she wouldn't talk to him.
While watching this video, I was thinking about how similar this is to children. If they want something, they most likely will not give up until they get it. That isn't the only thing that is similar though. Children tend to be more accepting than people who are older than them. They see the world through a more innocent standpoint, and because of this do not discriminate others because of one little thing that makes them different from everyone else.
I was watching a YouTube video earlier, and it got me thinking about how much parents are willing to sacrafice for their children even if they are not appreciated at all.
This video is about a single father raising a son, and it is based off of the Bible story "The Prodigal Son." I don't want to give any spoilers so I won't say more about the video but I will post it below.
As children we like to believe that our parents will always be there for us and will always love us, but as we grow older, we begin to distance ourselves from them. We think that we can handle ourselves, and that they are wasting their time worrying about us. The truth of the matter is that they only worry because they care and they love us so much they are willing to sacrafice everything they have to see us succeed in life. Why is it so hard for us to appreciate that? And when we finally realize it, it seems as though it is too late.

Een arrangement of toonzetting is een bewerking van een bestaand stuk muziek of compositie voor een andere bezetting, een bepaalde stijl of een bepaalde gelegenheid. Meestal blijven akkoordenschema en de melodielijn nagenoeg gehandhaafd en schrijft de arrangeur nieuwe partijen, die tweede en verdere stemmen toevoegen of anderszins de muziek aanvullen. Hierbij kunnen tempi,  dynamiek en maatsoort veranderen.

Ook vereenvoudiging komt voor, waarbij meestal juist een aantal stemmen 'verloren' gaan: van een orkestwerk kan bijvoorbeeld een versie worden gemaakt voor piano (een klavieruittreksel).

Als de melodie wordt losgelaten spreekt men niet van een arrangement maar een variatie.
In de klassieke muziek en jazz wordt vaak een bestaand stuk muziek, meestal een lied, gespeeld als een thema met variaties: eerst klinkt het muziekstuk zelf, in een onopgesmukte versie, waarna een serie variaties volgen, die in de jazz vaak deels geïmproviseerd zijn. Het geheel kan als arrangement van het lied worden beschouwd.

Arrangeren in folk
In folkmuziek wordt er vaak gearrangeerd. Vaak bestaat een folknummer slechts uit een melodie van twee keer acht maten die herhaald worden (schema: AABB). Om het nummer interessant te houden gaat men arrangeren.

Enkele voorbeelden van arrangementen die in folk gebruikt worden zijn:
 instrumenten die zwijgen of spelen
 de eerste 8 maten worden gespeeld door een instrument, de herhaling wordt gespeeld door een ander instrument
 verandering van toonaard
 omzetten van majeur naar mineur
 veranderen van akkoorden bij de melodie
 de laatste maat van een deel stoppen en terug starten bij het volgende deel

Als folkmuzikant is het de bedoeling om de melodie aangenaam te houden gedurende het hele nummer. Men moet met het schrijven van een arrangement de eigen vindingrijkheid gebruiken. Door het gebruik van arrangement kan het zijn dat twee dezelfde nummers (met dezelfde melodie) heel anders klinken.

Arrangeren in pop en rock
In pop- en rockmuziek maakt men bij auteursrechten vaak het onderscheid tussen de tekst, de muziek en het arrangement. Met arrangement bedoelt men hier de keuzes die de producer of daartoe aangestelde arrangeur maken, in de keuze van toegevoegde instrumenten, de klank van de hoofdinstrumenten, de klankkleur van gezongen partijen, extra stemmen en eventuele variaties in structuur. Songschrijvers werken meestal met stem en een basisinstrument. Het toevoegen van een arrangement is een aparte discipline. Wanneer hetzelfde lied in een ander arrangement wordt gestopt, gelden de auteursrechten van de songschrijvers, maar niet noodzakelijk die van een arrangeur.

By far the best habit I have formed! Because always taking care of problems and feeling like your entire time is occupied with putting out fires is emotionally exhausting. We can often lose perspective and, at times, I have felt like I was overwhelmed by negative thoughts. The gratitude journal has given me a better perspective and has greatly improved my life, not just my relationships.
You have many options to keeping a gratitude journal. The one that worked for me was an app that I found, called Gratitude Garden. It motivates you to write three things that you are grateful for each day. It takes almost no time at all and it is really easy to use. But you can keep an actual journal where to write down things that you are grateful for.
It is useful if you pick a fixed number of things to write down each day. This will encourage you to look for things that make you happy and keep them in mind, in order to finish your task at the end of the day. Which is exactly where the benefit of this habit comes in: it sets you up for happiness. It makes you think more about the things that are positive in your life. I have found myself thinking of things that I was grateful for even on the most difficult of days. And I tried really hard never to skip one.

QwikReport
We need a circular, urban food system
Even if you are someone who tries to eat healthy--buys only organic produce, and consumes only ethically raised meats--our food system is probably still jeopardizing your well-being.
The way we eat now is so dependent on chemicals, carbon emissions, and waste buildup that its effects are becoming impossible to ignore. In a new report, Cities and Circular Economy for Food, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a U.K.-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing more equitable and sustainable economies, calculates the damage of our current food system--and how we might build a better one.
Let's start with the troubling. Right now, every dollar spent globally on buying food ends up costing society double that in health, environmental, and economic fallouts totaling over $11 trillion each year. These costs "are a direct result of the 'linear' nature of modern food production, which extracts finite resources, is wasteful and polluting, and harms natural systems," the authors note in the report, which was co-produced with Systemiq, an accelerator focused on environmental solutions.
"With 'linear' we mean that the system is designed with a mindset of take-make-waste, rather than thinking of it as a circular system as you would find it in nature, where waste becomes input to a new process," says Martin Stuchtey, founder and managing partner of Systemiq.
The emissions associated with our food system alone are cause for significant concern. Around a quarter of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can be traced back to the agriculture and food productions industries. Industrial-scale agricultural practices, in particular, are to blame. By 2050, nearly 5 million people could die from causes related to food productions systems--air or water pollution, exposure to pesticides, or antibiotic overuse could all be factors. This death toll would be double the number of people who currently lose their lives due to obesity-related complications.
Food waste is also a massive issue: The Ellen MacArthur Foundation report notes that the equivalent of six garbage trucks of food are wasted globally every second. In cities, less than 2% of that waste is reused as compost.
In the report, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Systemiq call for a total overhaul of the system. Rather than the current linear structure, in which food flows from large-scale industrial farms into cities, and the waste from that food then flows into landfill, the authors envision a circular system revolving around cities themselves.
By 2050, 80% of food is expected to be consumed in cities, so it stands to reason that cities should begin to participate more in local food production. That, however, is a long way from the way things are right now. In order to a shift to a more local food system, cities need to focus on "reconnecting urban consumers with food production, in effect redesigning food value chains around urban consumption centers," Stuchtey says.
Part of that will involve doubling down on urban agriculture. Methods like indoor, hydroponic farming are already taking off in industrial buildings in cities like Newark, New Jersey, where the company AeroFarms is based, and that practice should be scaling up.
But that alone will not be enough to feed everyone living in cities. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation report recommends that cities ramp up sourcing from their peri-urban areas (defined as land within 20 kilometers of an urban core). Around 40% of the world's cropland is already housed in these areas, so logistically, it shouldn't be difficult to do. But city leaders and policymakers would have to work closely with nearby farmers, Stuchtey says, to ensure that they're practicing growing techniques that help the environment. Ramping up crop variety, rotating crops seasonally, and reducing use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are all methods that help regenerate soil and the surrounding environment. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation recommends that cities set up strict sourcing criteria for the food they bring in, and that both proximity and farming methods should be included.
Cities can also become sites where food waste is repurposed and used in a range of new products, from organic fertilizers to medicine and bioenergy. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation notes that if cities can establish food waste reuse systems, they can unlock a whole new economy and source of revenue.
Of course, for all of this to happen, cities must also sell these ideas to people. Doing so, Stuchtey says, will take collaboration from food brands, producers, retailers, city governments, and waste management systems. Storytelling around how food waste can be repurposed, or how local farming is repairing the lands around the city, will be necessary to get people engaged in supporting this systems change. "It will entail an orchestration of multiple efforts to build mutually reinforcing momentum, including connecting local flagship demonstration projects in key cities around the world with global scaling mechanisms that use the reach of multinational businesses and collaborative platforms," the authors write in the report.
Achieving the recommendations in the report will require significant transformation. We'd have to reduce dependency on global food conglomerates in favor of smaller, more localized production. Waste disposal would have to be completely reimagined. This is no small undertaking, Stuchtey says, and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation report is not trying to make it out to be. But it is clear on what the benefits would be if we pulled it off: Greenhouse gas emissions would drop by around 4.3 billion tons of CO2, roughly equal to taking 1 billion cars off the road. Around 450 trillion liters of fresh water would be preserved, and 15 million hectares of land would be saved from degradation. And for the economic argument, this circular system could generate up to $2.7 trillion for cities around the world.

"Sophie B. Wright (1886-1919) is one of many outstanding educators that greatly influenced the New Orleans area. Beginning at age 14, when she founded the Home Institute, a well regarded private school, Sophie Wright also started the first free night school for working boys who otherwise would have gone without any formal education.
This statue of Sophie B. Wright, designed by artist Enrique Alferez, was installed in 1988 and is located in Sophie Wright Park on Magazine Street at the corner of Sophie B. Wright place.
There is also a junior high school named for Sophie Wright and, although now coed, it was the first public girl's school in the city, as well as the first public building in New Orleans named for a woman.

Fascism – What It Is And How To Fight It By Leon Trotsky
July 12, 2015 Jyoti
"What is fascism? The name originated in Italy. Were all the forms of counter-revolutionary dictatorship fascist or not (That is to say, prior to the advent of fascism in Italy)?
The former dictatorship in Spain of Primo de Rivera, 1923-30, is called a fascist dictatorship by the Comintern. Is this correct or not? We believe that it is incorrect.
The fascist movement in Italy was a spontaneous movement of large masses, with new leaders from the rank and file. It is a plebian movement in origin, directed and financed by big capitalist powers. It issued forth from the petty bourgeoisie, the slum proletariat, and even to a certain extent from the proletarian masses; Mussolini, a former socialist, is a "self-made" man arising from this movement.
Primo de Rivera was an aristocrat. He occupied a high military and bureaucratic post and was chief governor of Catalonia. he accomplished his overthrow with the aid of state and military forces. The dictatorships of Spain and Italy are two totally different forms of dictatorship. It is necessary to distinguish between them. Mussolini had difficulty in reconciling many old military institutions with the fascist militia. This problem did not exist for Primo de Rivera.
The movement in Germany is analogous mostly to the Italian. It is a mass movement, with its leaders employing a great deal of socialist demagogy. This is necessary for the creation of the mass movement.
The genuine basis (for fascism) is the petty bourgeoisie. In italy, it has a very large base – the petty bourgeoisie of the towns and cities, and the peasantry. In Germany, likewise, there is a large base for fascism….It may be said, and this is true to a certain extent, that the new middle class, the functionaries of the state, the private administrators, etc., can constitute such a base. But this is a new question that must be analyzed….In order to be capable of foreseeing anything with regard to fascism, it is necessary to have a definition of that idea.
What is fascism? What are its base, its form, and its characteristics? How will its development take place? It is necessary to proceed in a scientific and Marxian manner."

As ever, Trotsky is clear, precise and easy to read. So, if you're a young lefty and have never read actual source Marxism before, leap in! 🙂
I first read this when I was 17 and it made so much clear to me. I was hazy on a lot of theory and a little embarrassed to ask older comrades for explanations.
A lot of people on the left throw the word 'fascist' around and thus devalue it of any real meaning or power. As Marxists, we have to point out that a fascist isn't just some Tory oaf you meet, it's a precise term for a political movement that hijacks socialist rhetoric for the bosses' ends.
And it is always, always funded by capitalists.

Simon Cowell's lavish LA life
The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent creator is right at home among the fast cars and bling mansions of Beverly Hills
Chris Ayres in Los Angeles
Even by the standards of his billionaire neighbours, Simon Cowell lives large in his home-away-from-home of Los Angeles. For example: he wasn't content simply to buy a house on one of the most expensive streets in one of the most prestigious, celebrity-crammed enclaves of Beverly Hills. Oh no. Instead, he paid £6.4 million for a gated mansion only a few minutes' drive from Rodeo Drive — Jennifer Lopez sold it to him — then knocked it down and rebuilt the place from scratch, to suit his own (alas, slightly cheesy) taste.
The total price-tag for the estimated 12,000-square-foot Taj Cowell? No one can know for sure, but informed guesses put it at £16.4 million (that's £2.7 million for each of its six bedrooms).

Q: Physics of Dirty Electricity? I've been reading about "dirty electricity" lately and while I know there's much controversy whether it causes adverse health effects this question is not about that subject. I'm simply trying to understand the facts and physics regarding "dirty electricity".
According to GreenWave Filters (which produce and sell filters to "remove" dirty electricity):

Dirty electricity is erratic spikes/surges of energy traveling along
  power lines and wiring where only standard 60Hz AC electricity should
  be. It is created by electronics, energy-efficient lights, and many
  other devices, as they manipulate electrical current to operate. Dirty
  electricity can circulate throughout a building and to other
  buildings, radiating potentially harmful EMFs as it goes.

1) What exactly is "dirty electricity"? Based on the above text, I understand that certain devices may draw electricity in aberrant ways causing it to spike/surge. What do we mean by electricity "surging"?
2) Do devices that generate "dirty electricity" contaminate all of the wiring in the wall? Or is it just around the outlet they draw power from? Or perhaps just around the device itself? If it does contaminate everything, how does the electricity from the device go back and contaminate the wiring in the whole house?
3) Most importantly, does this "dirty electricity" somehow radiate outside the walls (like WiFi) or is it something that just effects the flow of electricity in the wires? If it does radiate, does it radiate in a single frequency or multiple frequencies? Finally, does the amount of "radiation" depend on the amount of energy drawn by the device? Is there a way to measure it?
I understand it may seem like I'm asking several unrelated questions but I think all of my questions stem from a lack of understanding of the simple physics of dirty electricity. I think that if I understood exactly what dirty electricity is, all of my questions would be answered. This is why I'm asking it as one question.
P.S
I realize there are other threads on stackexchange that address some of the health concerns related to "dirty electricity". Once again, my question is not related to health. I'm just trying to understand the physics of how it all works - what creates it, where does it exists etc. Also, this question seems to address how dirty electricity effects electronics plugged into the wall but of course we are not plugging people into the outlet. So I'm trying to understand the physics of how it interacts with humans.

A:
What exactly is "dirty electricity"?

This term isn't a technical one.
We might say a power line is dirty if its voltage doesn't vary according to the 50 or 60 Hz sinusoidal waveform we normally expect.

I understand that certain devices may draw electricity in aberrant ways causing it to spike/surge. What do we mean by electricity "surging"?

It's normal (not aberrant) for some types of loads to draw current in frequent short bursts. If the device is not designed correctly, this current might need to travel along the mains wiring to reach the device.
But any device you buy from a reputable seller in a first world country should be tested for conducted emissions, which will limit the amount of quickly changing currents it can draw from the mains. Even if the device requires quickly changing currents internally, these can be delivered from capacitors inside the device rather than from the mains, if the device is well-designed.

What do we mean by electricity "surging"?

A surge is a relatively long-lasting increase in voltage on the mains, compared to a "spike". A "spike" might last a few milliseconds. A "surge" might last for 100's or milliseconds or a few seconds.

Do devices that generate "dirty electricity" contaminate all of the wiring in the wall?

As mentioned above, well-designed devices will not.
Also, even if they do, there will be no permanent "contaimination" of the wiring in the wall.

Most importantly, does this "dirty electricity" somehow radiate outside the walls (like WiFi) or is it something that just effects the flow of electricity in the wires?

Rapidly changing voltages or currents can cause radiation in the form of radio waves.
Exactly how much they radiate depends on the frequency content of the voltage or current waves, the exact geometry of the wires, the presence of nearby conductive structures, etc., so it is not easily predictable.

If it does radiate, does it radiate in a single frequency or multiple frequencies?

In whatever frequencies the voltage/current signals contain.

Finally, does the amount of "radiation" depend on the amount of energy drawn by the device?

Not in any predictable way.

Is there a way to measure it?

You could use an antenna and spectrum analyzer to measure whatever radio signals are present in a certain area.

A: The old style flourescent lights, in which an arc has to re-strike at 120 Hertz, creates dirty (high-frequency content) energy on the local power lines. The fast risetimes of the arc, perhaps 10 microSeconds, (on scopes I've used, holding the scope probe tip up toward the tube some few feet above the lab bench) gets converted into radio waves by the wiring inductances and capacitances around the area, including all the way back to the power transformer.
IMHO in any system with sparks (motors) and arcs (flourescents) and rectifier diodes (any power supply), the area will be dirty, and the seeker of high-resolution measurements or of quality radio performance (AM and FM) or or wide dynamic range concert music, will have to use substantial filtering to prevent intrusion by the electro-magnetic "dirt".
Microwave ovens, rectifying 2,000 volt power using silicon diodes that quickly turn on under high-slew-rate conditions, are a fine "dirt-ier" of all around.

A: The language used by the sellers of this device is not particularly scientific. It appears likely to be a placebo device marketed to (self-described) sufferers of "electrosensitivity". There is no scientific basis for these claims, and this device is unlikely to have any real function. The advertisement and sale of such devices has been prosecuted in some countries under false advertising laws.
There is some limited truth to the concept of "dirty electricity" in relation to electrical devices, but it bears little relation to what appears in the marketing information for this device. Most notably, it does not have effects on human health, and cannot be effectively filtered by a plug-in device of this nature.

Officer deemed justified in fatal shooting of barricaded man
Originally published October 18, 2018 at 7:47 am
SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Prosecutors have concluded that a Maryland police officer was justified in fatally shooting a man who barricaded himself and his 3-year-old son inside his ex-girlfriend's townhouse and began lighting fires.
Howard County State's Attorney Dario Broccolino's office reviewed the July 23 shooting of Jean Carlos Natera-Perez before determining Montgomery County Police Officer Edward Cochran's actions were justified. Police announced prosecutors' decision in a statement Wednesday.
The statement says an officer responding to a reported assault saw Perez with blood on his clothes and holding a knife at his ex-girlfriend's Silver Spring home.
The statement says Perez refused to leave the home or release his son before starting fires. After the child began screaming, Cochran shot Perez through a bedroom window.
Perez died two days later. His son was unharmed.

Home News Regulation One in four GPs remain reluctant to discuss death with patients
One in four GPs remain reluctant to discuss death with patients
A quarter of GPs are still reluctant to discuss death with patients, a survey by a palliative care organisation has revealed.
The survey of 1,003 GPs by ComRes for the Dying Matters coalition, a group led by the National Council for Palliative Care, found that one in four GPs had not initiated any discussion with patients about their end-of-life wishes, despite NHS figures showing that on average 20 of a GP's patients die each year.
The research also shows that 1% of GPs would choose to die in hospital, compared with 6% of the 2,055 people from the general public surveyed.
Meanwhile, 40% of GPs in the UK say they have talked to someone about their own end-of-life wishes.
Professor Mayur Lakhani, chair of the Dying Matters Coalition and former RCGP chair, said: 'Discussing dying is rarely easy, but unless we have the conversations that matter we're unlikely to get the right care and support. Although it's encouraging that increasing numbers of doctors are discussing end-of-life wishes with patients to help get them the right care and support, there's still a long way to go.'
'What we need now is a national conversation about dying, so that healthcare professionals and the general public become more comfortable in discussing dying, death and bereavement. Dying matters, so let's talk about it.'
Last year, Pulse ran a survey that revealed almost half of GPs do not trust NHS to give them a 'good death'.

Time-domain electromagnetic simulations involving anomalously dispersive media, such as biological tissue, are not straight-forward. One popular approach for representing the polarization is the Cole-Cole (1936) model, a heuristic generalization of the standard Debye (1929) model which corresponds to a first order linear auxiliary ODE. The Cole-Cole model corresponds to a fractional order ODE which presents computational challenges.
We examine an alternative approach based on using the Debye model, but with a probability distribution of relaxation times. The idea of distributions of relaxation times dates back to von Schweidler in 1907, preceding even Debye.
Recent advances in the generalized Polynomial Chaos method make the idea of a random polarization attractive. We will describe this modeling approach and then introduce a discretization of the system coupled with Maxwell's equations. We will present a stability analysis of the overall method and numerically demonstrate convergence rates.
We consider spatial high order staggered finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in these schemes.
We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the first order spatial derivative operator. This alternative representation allows the derivation of a concise formula for the numerical dispersion relation for all (even) order schemes applied to each model, including the limiting (infinite order) case. We further derive a closed-form analytical stability condition for these schemes as a function of the order of the method.
After a brief overview on internal waves in the ocean, we will introduce a regularized model for the evolution of strongly nonlinear internal waves. The ocean is simplified to a two-layer model with different fluid densities. The fluid is considered to be inviscid, irrotational and with constant density in each layer. The time evolution equations are solved numerically using a pseudo-spectral method along with a fourth order Runge-Kutta time integration scheme. We will show some preliminary results on nonlinear interaction between internal solitary waves. By including the effect of varying bottom topography, we will present some numerical simulations on the interaction of large solitary waves with bottom topography.
