Energy policy — oil and gas: Gothic shale play in the Paradox Basin has conservationists organizing early to, 'do it right'
August 29, 2011 Coyote Gulch Climate Change, Colorado River Basin, Colorado Water, Dolores River Watershed, Energy Policy, Oil and Gas
From The Durango Telegraph (Missy Votel):
This week, the San Juan Public Lands Center released a draft environmental impact statement on what is expected to be the next hot spot for oil and gas development in Southwest Colorado. Known as the Gothic Shale Gas Play, the 646,403-acre area located primarily within Montezuma, Dolores and San Miguel counties (with a small sliver of La Plata County) could be home to nearly 3,000 new wells over the next 15 years. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands make up 57 percent of the area, with Paradox Basin and the Dolores River Corridor at the epicenter, accounting for nearly 1,800 of the potential wells.
"It's a really big deal," said Jimbo Buickerood, of the San Juan Citizens Alliance. "There are huge resource values that we are concerned about and we know the citizenry is concerned about."
The gothic shale EIS is actually a supplement to the 2007 San Juan Public Lands Center Draft Land Management Plan, which is undergoing its first major revision since 1985. The 2007 EIS projected only 1,185 new coalbed methane wells for the entire San Juan Lands planning area, much of them overlapping the general area of the Gothic Shale Play. However, the original EIS did not account for the potential of tapping into the thin shale underlayer, which has recently become possible due to technological advances. As a result, land managers went back to the drawing board to revise numbers, adding a possible 1,769 new shale wells to the area on both federal and nonfederal lands…
Of the four suggested alternatives4 (including the requisite "do nothing,") preferred Alternative B recommends 776 new wells on federal lands, 250 miles of new roads and a disturbance of 2,592 acres. According to the EIS, half of the area is classified as "working forest and rangelands" and has a history of multiple use, including timber harvest, mining, grazing, recreation, and oil and gas development. However, Buickerood said there is concern some development could encroach on the Dolores River, which has been identified as a candidate for Wild and Scenic River status.
"We aren't saying 'no natural gas drilling.' We're saying 'Let's do it right, and here are some ideas,'" said Buickerood, who is heading up a response to the EIS on behalf of several local conservation groups. "The three main factors we're concerned with are: how many wells, over what area and over what period of time."[…]
Another major concern is water. Millions of gallons are required to drill a well and in the fracking process. Although some can be re-used, a plan for proper treatment and disposal of the waste water will be needed. The question of where the water will come from for drilling operations is another consideration. Bill Barrett currently pulls water earmarked for municipal and industrial use from the Dolores River Project.

Energy policy — oil shale: Dan Whitney of Shell Exploration and Production Co says rewrite of oil shale programmatic environmental impact statement by the BLM is, 'a waste of taxpayer money'
August 29, 2011 Coyote Gulch Climate Change, Colorado River Basin, Colorado Water, Energy Policy, Oil Shale, White River Basin, Yampa River Basin
From The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel (Gary Harmon):
Whitney spoke during a congressional oversight field hearing conducted by two Colorado representatives, Scott Tipton and Doug Lamborn, both Republicans serving on the House Natural Resources subcommittee on energy and mineral resources…
The new study is holding back applications for three new leases, limiting the kind of innovation and variety of experimentation that will make oil shale a commercial resource, Whitney said…
Another witness, former Grand Junction Mayor Jim Spehar, called on the committee to support the establishment of an oil shale trust fund or similar mechanism to help communities prepare for and deal with the effects of growth if an oil shale industry is to take shape. A relatively small, 500,000-barrel-per-day oil shale industry could add 50,000 new people to northwest Colorado, Spehar said. "That's why I'm concerned about getting a head start" on development if and when oil shale development does take place, he said. "Current taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for it."[…]
Anu K. Mittal of the Government Accountability Office said a study of the potential use of water over the life of an oil shale project can range from one to 12 barrels of water per barrel of the equivalent of oil for an in-situ project, to two to four barrels for an above-ground, retort project. Another analysis offered by the University of Utah's Institute for Clean and Secure Energy, suggested an average water consumption rate of 2.5 barrels for each barrel of oil from shale, according to Jennifer Spinti, research associate professor at the university.

Animas River watershed: Part two of series about the river, 'Want water, take a number' from The Durango Herald
August 29, 2011 August 29, 2011 Coyote Gulch Animas River Watershed, Animas-La Plata Project, Climate Change, Colorado River Basin, Colorado Water, Environmental Protection Agency, Infrastructure, Instream flow, Transmountain/transbasin diversions, USGS, Water Law
Here's Part Two of the four part series about the Animas River from Dale Rodebaugh and The Durango Herald. Mr. Rodebaugh outlines how uses of the river have changed over time, from prehistoric times to the filling of Lake Nighthorse (full on June 29 this year), part of the Animas-La Plata Project. Here's an excerpt:
Durango's early exploitation of the Animas was as a conduit to get logs to sawmills, where they were turned into lumber and railroad ties.
Today, most of the water pulledfrom the river is for irrigation and consumption, but the city of Durango in 2007 obtained a decree that guarantees a certain amount of flow for a whitewater park at Smelter Rapid. Several entities have won such rights for recreation since legislation establishing recreation rights was enacted in2001.
Also, a certain amount of water is reserved to protect two fish species in the San Juan River – the Colorado pikeminnow and humped-back chub,which are federally listed as endangered.

Here's a look at how the USGS measures streamflow, from Dale Rodebaugh writing for The Durango Herald. From the article:
The USGS maintains more than 7,000 gauging stations on rivers and lakes across the country. The Durango office manages 41 stations in La Plata, Archuleta, Montezuma, San Juan, Dolores, San Miguel, Ouray and Montrose counties.
The station near U.S. Highway 550 and 14th Street went into service in 1895, only six years after the first one ever was installed in New Mexico on the Rio Grande River to help determine whether there was sufficient water for irrigation.
The USGS computerized its gauging nationally in 1983 and first made real-time data available online in 1995.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency is considering superfund status for parts of the upper Animas River watershed, according to Mark Esper writing for The Telluride Daily Planet. From the article:
And EPA officials said that while the collaborative approach to water quality in the upper Animas spearheaded by the Animas River Stakeholders Group has been successful, the worsening situation on Cement Creek has compelled the agency to study a possible Superfund listing.
"The problem is worsening water quality," said Sabrina Forrest, site assessment manager for the EPA in Denver. Forrest explained that while the EPA considers the problem to be worthy of the National Priorities List (NPL) under the Superfund law, local support would be required as well as a sign-off from the governor.
"It's eligible for listing, but community support is needed for that," Forrest said. And if the Gladstone sites were to be eventually put on the NPL "the community would still have a huge voice on how this would be done."[…]
Meanwhile, the EPA is planning a Sept. 16 site tour at Gladstone for those interested in getting a better idea of the situation on the ground up there. Forrest says the EPA hopes it can determine by Dec. 20 if there is enough local support for NPL listing to proceed. Under that timetable, the listing could be made official by March 2012.
The preliminary assessment work focused on a cluster of mine sites at and above Gladstone, including the American Tunnel, Gold King Number 7 level, the Mogul and Grand Mogul and the Red and Bonita mines. Peter Butler of Durango, a steering committee member for the Animas River Stakeholders Group, which was formed as a collaborative approach to water quality issues in 1994, said Cement Creek has seen a steady increase in metals loading since a treatment plant at Gladstone was shut down in 2004. Up to 845 gallons per minute of acid mine drainage is pouring into Cement Creek from just four abandoned mines above Gladstone…
At this point, Butler said possible solutions include various scenarios for a water treatment plant on Cement Creek, bulkheads for the four mines discharging the most, or some combination of that. Then comes the question of who pays. Butler said options include seeking damages from Sunnyside Gold's parent company, Kinross; luring a large mining company to reopen the Gold King and take on the cleanup liability; taking an incremental approach with a pilot treatment project that could be expanded; invoking Superfund; or a combination thereof.
Todd Hennis of Golden, who described himself as the "unfortunate owner of the Gold King and Mogul mines," said the EPA has been spinning "fairy tales." "The problem started in 2000 when water started coming out of the Mogul," Hennis said. He said that was a result of the American Tunnel bulkheads causing water to back up. The water table has since risen an estimated 1,000 feet, causing acid mine drainage to seep from ever higher points on the mountain. Hennis accused state officials of engaging in "pollution trading" with Sunnyside Gold, with a consent decree letting the mining firm off the hook for water quality problems in the Gladstone area. "The state of Colorado has a huge responsibility for this situation," Hennis said. "Sunnyside walked out of this district and their $5 million bond was returned." Hennis said the best solution would be for a mining firm to reopen the Gold King and assume responsibility for the water quality issues. Hennis said he thinks there is $700 million in gold still retrievable from the Gold King mine.
Here's an article that details the course of the Animas River, including the geology, from its headwaters to the San Juan River, from Dale Rodebaugh writing for The Durango Herald. Here's an excerpt:
At one time, [David Gonzales, a professor and chairman of the geosciences department at Fort Lewis College] said, gravel impelled by a glacier created a dam to form a lake in the Animas Valley. Later erosion of the debris drained the lake but caused the relatively flat and wide channel. The farthest reaching glacier, which receded about 12,000 years ago, carried gravel as far as 32nd Street, Gonzales said.

Flaming Gorge pipeline: Frank Jaeger (Parker Water and Sanitation District) and others are urging the state to continue looking at the proposed project
August 29, 2011 Coyote Gulch Arkansas Basin, Bureau of Reclamation, Cherry Creek Watershed, Climate Change, Colorado River Basin, Colorado Water, Colorado Wyoming Cooperative Water Supply Project, Flaming Gorge Pipeline, Flaming Gorge Task Force, Green River Basin, Groundwater, IBCC -- Basin Roundtables, Infrastructure, Parker, Pipeline Projects, Rueter-Hess Reservoir, South Metro Water Supply Authority, South Platte Basin, Transmountain/transbasin diversions
From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
"While we are encouraged that the Flaming Gorge discussion sponsored by the roundtables and state of Colorado will attempt to foster agreement on key issues and take a fair look at the project, we are concerned that many groups are engaging in a political attempt to intimidate the participants and bias or terminate the process," Parker Water and Sanitation Manager Frank Jaeger wrote in a recent letter to key state officials.
Environmental groups last month announced opposition to the study of the project by roundtables…
The [Colorado-Wyoming Cooperative Supply Project] is awaiting U.S. Bureau of Reclamation modeling of the Colorado River basin, expected to be complete later this year, before it wraps up its feasibility study launched in 2010. Since then, the group has further defined its needs: 105,000 acre-feet annually from the project to meet growth estimates to the year 2070…
The Colorado-Wyoming Coalition's proposed project helps meet several positions taken on water by Gov. John Hickenlooper, Jaeger said. Those include:
– Protecting agricultural water.
– Providing an adequate supply of water to promote a strong economy.
– Helping to fill the municipal water gap identified in the 2010 Statewide Water Supply Initiative.
– Supporting the portfolio of strategies identified by the Interbasin Compact Committee: reuse, conservation, alternative agriculture-municipal transfers, completing identified projects and developing new projects.

An estimated 4.7 million dog bites occur in the United States each year, according to statistics by the by the American Humane Association. Below are some safety measures you can take to ensure the safety of your friends, family and visitors to your home.
The key to safety between pets and children is education. Children that know how to properly interact around a dog are less likely to be bitten. In fact, the American Humane has created American Humane KIDS: Kids Interacting with Dogs Safely, a dog-bite prevention program for young children.
Dogs should never be left attended with children under the age of two.
It's important to teach children to never kick, slap, hit or pull on a dog's ears or tail or to otherwise taunt them.
Avoid approaching a dog you don't know, no matter how cute. Always ask permission of the owner first.
Dogs need to be supervised at all times around young children, particularly when other children are in the home.
Neutering can help to reduce aggression in male dogs, while spaying can reduce aggression in female dogs, but that's a personal decision or the dog owner.
Take the time to train and socialize your dog – it will be good for both of you.
The laws on dog bites vary from state-to-state but in many, the owner is responsible for an injury even in cases where the dog has not previously displayed aggressive behavior.

Jameis Winston to sign with New Orleans Saints on 1-year deal
Andy Villamarzo
After waiting out all throughout the free agency period and the NFL Draft, Jameis Winston has now found himself a new home and he didn't have to go too far at all. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting quarterback is finalizing a one-year deal to sign with the New Orleans Saints, per Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports on Sunday morning.
Robinson states in his tweet that Winston would be signing less than a lucrative contract, but the opportunity for Winston would be to learn behind future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees awhile maximizing Taysom Hill as a all-around player on offense.
Winston would play much more of the role Teddy Bridgewater played the last two seasons as a primary backup. Bridgewater signed with the Carolina Panthers this off-season to be the team's new starter after new head coach Matt Rhule decided to move on from Cam Newton.
Winston, was a former No. 1 pick who was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2015. Coming out of Florida State, Winston was dubbed as a can't miss prospect out of Tallahassee and looked to become the first quarterback to sign a second contract with the franchise. The Buccaneers decided to go in another direction and signed 6-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady to a 2-year deal with close to $60-million.
Instead, Winston took his time methodically as a free agent but reportedly had interest from the Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears early in the process. Winston threw for 33 touchdowns and just over 5,000 yards in 2019. Winston's issues came in the turnover department, as he had 30 interceptions and became the charter member of the 30-touchdown, 30-interception club.

Right before we left Kaohsiung!
I write this back in San Luis Obispo, about to begin my last Fall Quarter. I've been reflecting on what this summer has meant to me and what it has enabled me to do from here on out. I've learned a lot about KMU and how it operates as both a place of learning and a place of the unknown. Students day in and day out spend their free time furthering their own scientific journeys and I am grateful I was able to get a glimpse of that. Kat and I didn't get as much data as we had hoped, but what we did get was an enriching cultural experience as well as a new understanding of the scientific method in a more global perspective. Dr. Li and Kelly have been immensely helpful in providing feedback and showing us how things work at KMU in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Environmental Biology. I think we were able to teach Kelly a lot about how things operate in our perspective universities. I now can bring back a new kind of knowledge into my own academic spheres but also further develop skills I've learned in Kaohsiung. I hope to take this drive into the future as I apply seek both jobs and grad schools. I was also able to learn a lot about myself, too, seeing as I am now more confident in my Mandarin as well as my role as a researcher.

Are You Checking Your Arborvitaes (and other Evergreens) for Bagworms?
Have you looked closely at your arborvitaes and other bagworm-susceptible evergreens such as Juniper? Bagworms are a little easier to see now as the needle clad "bags" are beginning to turn brown. These caterpillars can creep up on you and strip a plant before you know it so keep your eyes out and regularly inspect. I have been watching a nearby arborvitae and noticed that the bags on this particular plant in Clark County are anywhere from 1/4" to 1" in size. As they get bigger, they are much easier to spot. When bagworms first hatch, it's even a challenge to the untrained eye to find them.
For more information on control see Joe Bogg's BYGL post on June 2, 2016 or Dr. David Shetlar aka BugDoc's Factsheet on Bagworm.

Washing machine Dryer Dishwasher
Environmental benefits of pay-per-wash business model revealed
Nancy Bocken, co-founder of HOMIE, has demonstrated in practice that paying per wash results in the more economical use of washing machines. The findings are being published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.
Consumers usually simply purchase a washing machine, and that is pretty much the end of the story. But there is an alternative model, in which you hire a washing machine from a company and subsequently pay per wash. 'We expect that such a pay-per-use business model, for washing machines in this case, will have positive environmental benefits', explains Prof. Nancy Bocken. 'After all, this set-up makes consumers more aware of their consumption pattern and offers financial stimulation for them to be economical. It is also an incentive for the rental companies to provide efficient, economical and well-maintained washing machines'.
Now is tested whether these assumptions actually hold true in practice. 'Up until now, there has been little research into the environmental impact of pay-per-use business models that also explored the impact in practice', says co-author and IDE researcher Prof. Ruth Mugge: 'That is exactly what we have done. For example, by conducting an in-depth case study in collaboration with HOMIE, a company that offers a pay-per-wash service'.
HOMIE is a TU Delft spin-off, which was alongside Nancy Bocken also co-founded by Hidde-Jan Lemstra and Colin Bom. Bocken: 'We directly gauged how pay-per-use contributes to more sustainable (more economical) consumption behaviour. For the study, we followed groups of users for long periods of time. Our research revealed that the number of washes per month dropped significantly, as did the average washing temperature (which naturally improves energy efficiency)'.
'It would appear that pay-per-use truly has the potential to stimulate the sustainable use of products', concludes Bocken. 'When customers started paying after the first free month, the total number of washes and average washing temperature decreased significantly. Washing temperature reductions were primarily seen among customers who were previously accustomed to washing at higher temperatures. Additional research needs to focus on revealing the best means of introducing pay-per-use in practice'.

Q: Query to remove rows based on value of a column I'm having a file with data as showing in the screenshot:

Need to build a query that will remove all rows with the same search ref, provided at least one row has a non-zero value. From the particular screenshot, all highlighted rows should be deleted, since there is at least one entry with Order_Placed=1.
Does anyone have an idea on whether same feasible?
Have applied a workaround with filtering out the rows with Order_Placed=1 and then vlookup the whole table, but would like a query like solution
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

A: I will suggest you to use VBA to achieve your goal. By using the code I wrote below, the rows which you want to be deleted will be deleted every time you open this excel. I reviewed the photo that you attached, my code will work only if you put your table through A1 cell. Otherwise the code may not work :)
I will explain how to add my code to your excel. If you know to use VBA you can skip this part:
From "Developer" tab, click on "Visual Basic". Then, click these in order: Insert , Module. Then you should paste the code below.
I hope It works, if you face any problem we can contact again. (Don't forget to save this file in macro-enabled ".xlsm" format!)
Note: If you review the code, in three places I wrote "16". You should modify this number according to your total row number. I used 16 to protect my computer from extra running problems :)
Have a nice day.
Sub Auto_Open()

    For i = 2 To 16
        If Cells(i, 3).Value = 1 Then
            For j = 2 To 16
                If Cells(j, 1).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value Then
                    Rows(j).Interior.Color = vbRed
                End If
            Next
        End If
    Next

    For i = 2 To 16
        Rows(i).Select
        If Rows(i).Interior.Color = vbRed Then
            Selection.Delete
            i = i - 1
        End If
    Next

End Sub

A: Power Query Solution
Lets take a sample data like yours

*

*select your data

*Data tab click get & transform then from table

*a power query window will be opened

*

*create 2 new columns say dat and dummy by group by like this

*

*expand dat to get like this

*

*close and load data back to excel

Now you can easily filter out data by dummy column.

<title>Lazy functions</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme/style.css" type="text/css">

<link rel="next" href="place_holders.html">

      Lazy functions

When currying or partial function evaluation takes place, supplying N actual arguments to a function that expects M arguments where N < M will result in a higher order function with M-N arguments. Technically, when N == M, the function has all the arguments needed to do a full evaluation:

    plus(3, 2)  full evaluation
    plus(?, 6)  partial evaluation

 Lazy functions are subsets of partial function evaluation or currying

Now, we shall revisit the concept of lazy functions introduced before in passing. That is, the first function invocation will not really "fully evaluate" the function regardless if all or some of the arguments are supplied. A second function invocation will always be needed to perform the actual evaluation. At the point in the second call, the caller is expected to supply all arguments that are still missing. Still vague? To clarify, a partially evaluated function:

        f(1, ?, ?)

results to an unnamed function unnamed_f(a, b) that expects the two (2) more arguments that are still missing when the first function, f, is invoked. Since unnamed_f(a, b) is already a second level evaluation, all arguments must be supplied when it is called and the result is finally evaluated. Example:

    f(1, ?, ?) ---> unnamed_f(a, b)

then

    unnamed_f(2, 3) ---> evaluate_and_return_value_for f(1, 2, 3)

This function call sequence can be concatenated:

    f(1, ?, ?)(2, 3)

The second level function unnamed_f is not curryable. All of its still missing arguments must be supplied when it is called.

As mentioned, even though we have all the arguments in the first call, the function is not yet evaluated (thus lazy). For example, a function call:

    f(1, 2, 3)

remember that the first function invocation will not really evaluate the function even if all the arguments are fully supplied. Thus:

    f(1, 2, 3) ---> unnamed_f()

 Generators

In FP, unnamed_f() is a generator; a function that has no arguments but returns a result. Not to be confused with Phoenix generators to be discussed later.

Then:

    unnamed_f() ---> evaluate_and_return_value_for f(1, 2, 3)

This function call sequence can be concatenated as:

    f(1, 2, 3)()

Lambda (unnamed) functions and currying (partial function evaluation) can also be applied to operators. However, unlike lazy functions, operators are fully evaluated once all the arguments are known and supplied, unless some sort of intervention is applied to coerce the operator expression to be lazily evaluated. We shall see more details on this and how this is done later.

Comparison of second-echelon treatments for Ménière's disease
Gregory J Basura, Giant C Lin, Steven A Telian
JAMA Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery 2014, 140 (8): 754-61
IMPORTANCE: To compare the efficacy of treatments commonly offered to patients with Ménière's disease who fail conservative medical therapy including diuretics and a sodium-restricted diet.
OBJECTIVES: This study compared three second-echelon treatments: the Meniett device, endolymphatic sac decompression, and intratympanic gentamicin injections to determine their comparative effectiveness and capacity to mitigate against the necessity of a surgical labyrinthectomy.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Retrospective observational study at an academic tertiary care center. Patients with Ménière's disease who failed primary medical management were evaluated after treatment with a Meniett device (n=20), endolymphatic sac decompression (n=23) or intratympanic gentamicin injections (n=17). Cases were included if auditory and vertigo control data were available before and a minimum of two years after treatment, in patients without previous otologic surgery or intratympanic injections. Average age ranged from 54 to 75 years.
INTERVENTIONS: Use of the Meniett device, endolymphatic sac shunt decompression surgery or intratympanic gentamicin injections using variable doses and injection schedules.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Proportion of patients with vertigo control and hearing preservation by a modified version of the AAO-HNS criteria after second-echelon treatment, thus not requiring definitive labyrinthectomy.
RESULTS: Despite endolymphatic sac surgery demonstrating a longer duration (61 months) prior to labyrinthectomy, no differences were found between the 3 treatment options in terms of patients going on to definitive labyrinthectomy or in the number of months of symptom relief following treatment. There was also no difference in residual auditory perception across the 3 groups.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: No significant therapeutic differences were found between the studied second-echelon treatments for symptom relief of Ménière's disease.

John Banville selects and introduces another virtuoso of Irish literature, bringing Hubert Butler's masterful essays on Ireland to a new audience.
This volume contains an essential selection of Hubert Butler's essays on Ireland, written over four decades: reflective, autobiographical pieces which describe a local habitation and a place, but gravitate unerringly towards the great issues of the day – neutrality, partition, censorship, religion, nationalism. With his incisive considerations of individual and political identity, Butler joins the great tradition of Irish libertarians going back to Swift and Burke.

We've seen some exciting changes taking place in the Bernice and Mannie Rabovsky Religious School and there's more to come in the 2018-2019 school year.
At B'nai Tzedek, we honor the busy lives of our children and parents working hard to negotiate the competing schedules of synagogue, school, sports, dance, gymnastics, music, and other important activities.
We also are keenly aware that our children and parents seek meaningful connections with Jewish friends and mentors, Shabbat and holiday celebrations with their synagogue family, opportunities to learn about Judaism, and be a member of a synagogue that feels like home. The study of Judaism in religious school complements and enhances daily lives and, if anything, provide a respite from the fast pace of life.
We are now offering more choices to fit within your busy school week schedule. For the 2018/19 school year, we are moving to a model with the vast majority of our students attending religious school for an hour and a half on Tuesday or Wednesday with a one-hour small group Hebrew class and a half hour of communal prayer. Private tutoring and small groups on other days will continue to be an option for next year if desired (additional fees may apply).
Small group learning has many advantages for children and faculty. It fosters greater attention to learning, provides the opportunity to explore issues and topics on a more in-depth basis, and creates stronger bonds with fellow students, instructors and clergy. We tested it for the last several years with very positive results and in 2018-19 we will move fully to a more intimidate, child-centered study of Hebrew and Prayer, either in small group or private tutoring.
Project-based learning is an instructional methodology that is authentic and relevant, provides students with choices as they explore a topic, encourages students to discover their own voice through group and individual inquiry, and incorporates experiential learning through art, music, cooking, outdoor experiences, movement, drama, etc.
We piloted two Project-Based Jewish Learning explorations this year. Our first graders explored the why, what, and how we celebrate Shabbat; and our fifth graders explored family stories, including how our families immigrated to America, and what rituals, traditions, family heirlooms, and values were lovingly passed down from prior generations. Both programs culminated in a museum showcase enjoyed by parents and congregants as we shepped nachas (derived pride and joy) and learned from our children and grandchildren.
We continue to rollout exciting new explorations for our other grades as we build on the excitement and energy in the school.
Picture this: Our third graders are playing Gaga (Israeli Dodge Ball) in the Weinberg Auditorium. A student sees his him mom walk down the stairs and says, "Mom, I can't leave yet. I haven't had my chug." "No worries," assured his mom. "I am here to pick up your sister." Sigh of relief.
If you are considering Religious School for your family and haven't met Ronni and our faculty, please feel free to come in and chat. You will be amazed by their energy and enthusiasm for making this a truly exceptional learning experience for your child and easy for you to work into your daily routines. To reach Ronni, email her or call 301-299-0225 ext. 321.


Originally published in 1993, it is good to see Weiser has published the book again, and once more it is available for reading. Those interested in the works of Aleister Crowley will enjoy this well-edited reference. This collection contains "John St. John" and "A Master of the Temple from The Equinox" published during 1909.
Much of Crowley's work has appeal to different groups for different reasons. Aleister Crowley became a legend before his death and is oftentimes considered by many as one of the major occult writers of the 20th century. What is unusual about this book is that James Wasserman places emphasis on guiding oneself through the journey that comes from magical workings. The text and information shared with readers is invaluable. Wasserman's thirty-five years of personal experience and scholarship are evident in this book.
This book is intended for the adept and the student. If you are curious about Aleister Crowley and his thoughts, this is one book you will enjoy reading. Excellent ideas for keeping a magical diary are shared with the reader.
This book is highly recommended reading for its accuracy and detail. This is an educational, in-depth look at keeping a diary of magical ceremonies and approaches.
James Wasserman is a well-respected occult researcher, scholar, and Thelemic magician. He is the author of numerous publications and also serves in the position of editor for the Weiser Concise Guides series.

This year I attended a graphic design conference and one topic really stuck out. Danny Gregory spoke about the importance of keeping a daily sketchbook. As a creative professional, it's easy to forget that one of the fundamental reasons I entered into this field was the simple joy of making stuff. Many of us forget that making art can be just for fun. And it's okay to have fun everyday, right?
Danny encouraged us to focus on the process of drawing and not to think too much about the subject matter and/or end result. Everyday people and things are perfect to sketch. I've taken his advice and found it to be a joyful experience and a wonderful way to start the day. I'm not as practiced as Danny, but one day I hope to be. A few of my sketches can be seen on this post. Check out Danny's youtube channel to see some of his work. It's fantastic.


The F&TRC Workplace Forum will produce guidance on group pension scheme establishment and contribution collection after advisers voiced concerns about the current processes used by pension providers and software vendors.

Earliest Draft of King James Bible 'Discovered'
Jeffrey Alan Miller, assistant professor of English at Montclair State University, was trying to determine what Bible translation translator Samuel Ward was using in one of Ward's early 17th century notebooks. Soon Miller realised the notebook, previously described as "verse-by-verse biblical commentary" was actually part of Ward's work as one of many KJV translators.
Miller summarises his research in the Times Literary Supplement:
It represents not just the earliest draft of the KJB now known to survive, but one utterly unlike any previously found. Ward's draft alone bears all the signs of having been a first draft, just as it alone can be definitively said to be in the hand of one of the King James translators themselves. It also stands as the only draft now known to survive of any part of the Apocrypha in the KJB, and the only draft yet to be discovered in Cambridge, one of the three initial centres of the Bible's composition. The true value of Ward's draft, though, lies less in the sheer fact of its uniqueness, and more in what the draft, in its uniqueness, helps to reveal about one of the seventeenth century's most extraordinary cultural achievements. It points the way to a fuller, more complex understanding than ever before of the process by which the KJB, the most widely read work in English of all time, came to be.
Miller says, via the New York Times:
"There's a strong desire to see the King James Bible as a uniform object, and a belief that it's great because of its collaborative nature," Professor Miller said.
"It was incredibly collaborative," he continued. "But it was done in a much more complicated, nuanced, and at times individualistic way than we've ever really had good evidence to believe."

Hyperinsulinemia is most often caused by insulin resistance — a condition in which your body doesn't respond well to the effects of insulin. Your pancreas tries to compensate by making more insulin. Insulin resistance may eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. This happens when your pancreas is no longer able to compensate by secreting the large amounts of insulin required to keep the blood sugar normal.


As winter approaches, many fishermen from the northeast flock to south Florida to avoid the coming chill, joining the thousands of us who make this our home year round. As temperatures fall and anglers migrate south, so do large schools of sailfish, which take up temporary residence along Florida reef lines from Ft. Pierce to Key West.
This annual migration puts these magnificent fish within easy reach of thousands of anglers along the coast of the Sunshine State as the fish typically stay within a few miles of shore. While several methods exist for targeting sails, today we'll focus on terminal tackle for the use of live bait, undoubtedly the most popular method used and a highly effective one to boot.
Fishing with live bait has become a more complex undertaking than in decades past, because the fish now must run a huge gauntlet of baits as they swim beneath the thousands of boats that pursue them each year. As angling pressure has increased, the fish have become more wary, forcing us to elevate our game in order to consistently be successful. For instance, when I first started seriously fishing for sailfish in the 1980s, many skippers used 80-pound nylon monofilament as leader material. These days, fluorocarbon monofilament is considered essential gear, and most of us start with 50-pound, or even 40. And we'll scale back to 30-pound when the fish get extra finicky. Such light leaders would have been unheard of 30 years ago, but now are commonplace.
Light leaders work because of the near universal use of circle hooks, which hook the fish in the corner of the mouth almost every time, greatly reducing gut-hooking but also nearly eliminating chafing during the fight as the hook is lodged away from the bill and the fish's mouth. Not only do circle hooks provide a proven conservation benefit, they also simply work better. And in any billfish tournament, non-offest circle hooks are required by federal law.
Depending on the size of your bait, a circle hook between 5/0 and 7/0 should do the trick. The larger the bait, the larger the hook. In our next installment, we will discuss the baits themselves; what species works best where, and how to fish them.


I've been writing since I was about 9 years old. I'm now a post menopausal writer who has to color her gray more often so that's a LOT OF YEARS!
I had never thought about getting a copyright until I began putting my JoJoisms on the mugs we are now selling under the MugXpressions by Grape Stuff brand.
When I filed for a copyright for The Big Book of JoJoisms several months ago, I thought the whole thing was done online. Then this past Saturday, I received an official certificate in the mail stating that I'm the proud owner of all of my JoJoisms to that date that I had compiled in this book!
So, it's official! I hold an official copyright for almost 600 JoJoisms that I've written over the years! It's got an official seal and everything!
As many of you know, JoJo is nuts for purple so most of my Visual JoJoisms have been purple. I've loved purple even longer than I've been writing.
My mom tells me I actually turned purple when I was about two weeks old and they were driving me from Colorado, where I was born, to Florida where my dad was next stationed. He was in the military at that time. They had to pull over to cool me down as there was no air conditioning in cars at that time. THAT's how old I am! lol Ever since then, my mom says I've loved purple!
How ever my love of purple came about, I'm not the only one who's nuts for it! At the same time my JoJoisms were being copyrighted, my For the Love of Purple Facebook fan page was also growing.
From the time I filed the copyright to the time I received this official notification, my page grew by 2000 members and it's now growing by 2-300 per week! I've actually written several JoJoisms about my love of purple and have written several more since then and turned them into visual format and posted them on my fan page. Click the link above if you have a purple heart and would like to see more purple JoJoisms!

You can use Excel 2010's Subtotals feature to subtotal data in a sorted list. To subtotal a list, you first sort the list on the field for which you want the subtotals, and then you designate the field that contains the values you want summed — these don't have to be the same fields in the list.
Excel does not allow you to subtotal a list formatted as a table. You must first convert your table into a normal range of cells. Click a cell in the table and then click the Table Tools Design tab. Click the Convert to Range button in the Tools group, and then click Yes. Excel removes the filter buttons from the columns at the top of the list while still retaining the original table formatting.
Sort the list on the field for which you want subtotals inserted.
Click the Subtotal button in the Outline group on the Data tab.
Use the Subtotal dialog box to specify the options for the subtotals.
Select the field for which the subtotals are to be calculated in the At Each Change In drop-down list.
Specify the type of totals you want to insert in the Use Function drop-down list.
When you use the Subtotals feature, you aren't restricted to having the values in the designated field added together with the SUM function. You can instead have Excel return the number of entries with the COUNT function, the average of the entries with the AVERAGE function, the highest entry with the MAXIMUM function, the lowest entry with the MINIMUM function, or even the product of the entries with the PRODUCT function.
Select the check boxes for the field(s) you want to total in the Add Subtotal To list box.
Excel adds the subtotals to the worksheet.
The bottom of a list showing the subtotals and a grand total.
When you use the Subtotals command, Excel outlines the data at the same time that it adds the rows with the departmental salary totals and the grand total. This means that you can collapse the data list down to just its departmental subtotal rows or even just the grand total row simply by collapsing the outline down to the second or first level.
In a large list, you may want Excel to insert page breaks every time data changes in the field on which the list is being subtotaled (that is, the field designated in the At Each Change In drop-down list box). To do this, you simply select the Page Break between Groups check box in the Subtotal dialog box before you click OK to subtotal the list.

Ballarat c.1838
Named by Scottish squatter Archibald Yuille who established the first settlement - his sheep run called 'Ballaarat' in 1837, with the name derived from local Wathaurong Aboriginal words for the area, balla arat - thought to mean 'resting place. The present spelling was officially adopted by the City of Ballarat in 1996.

Just months after Victoria was granted separation from New South Wales, the Victorian gold rush transformed Ballarat from a small sheep station to a major settlement. Gold was discovered at Poverty Point on 18 August 1851 and news quickly spread of rich alluvial fields where gold could easily be extracted. Within months, approximately 20,000 migrants had rushed the district. Several Australian mining innovations were made at the Ballarat diggings including the first use of a Chilean mill in 1851 and the first use of a mine cage in 1861. Unlike many other gold rush boom towns, the Ballarat fields experienced sustained high gold yields for decades.
The Eureka Rebellion began in Ballarat, and the only armed rebellion in Australian history, the Battle of Eureka Stockade, took place on 3 December 1854. In response to the event the first male suffrage in Australia was instituted and as such Eureka is interpreted by some as the origin of democracy in Australia. The gold rush and boom gave birth to many other significant cultural legacies. The rebellion's symbol, the Eureka Flag has become a national symbol and is held at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka in Ballarat. (From: Wiki)

As a mother of three very active children, I'm always beaming with excitement when my little crew want to try something 'new' when it comes to sport. I know first hand how physical activity improves my health and wellbeing, so it's only natural that I'm passionate about wanting my kids to enjoy that feeling too.
Over the past few years, every time the kids have heard about a sport or seen something new, they've wanted to give it a try. I love that! Some of those sports have lasted one lesson, others a few weeks, others maybe a year or so. Like anything new as a kid, the activity needs to keep them interested, having fun, learning and interacting with others – in essence, just like us, I guess they need to connect with the sport on an emotional and physical level for it to last. Those connections can't be pushed, I personally feel they must organically surface and your kids' passions for physical activity will shine through when it's ready.
I'm writing this blog because the twins have recently completed their first term of the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program and I'm excited to share a little more about it – because simply put, it has been so beautiful to sit back and watch their first true sporting passion surface.
We've just signed up for another term of the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program – and my oldest daughter and nephew will now also be joining the twins. (The kids all enjoyed a few days at the tennis school holiday day camp over the Christmas break and well, they're all officially hooked on the sport!) We've even got a mini court set up in the backyard (apparently I'm not allowed to play because I don't have my tennis shuffle and happy feet down pat).
The ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program has given them a sense of independence, I see their little faces light up when they take that first step on the court – the smiles, the laughter, the interaction with the coach and other players – it's phenomenal to watch as a parent. Then when the lesson gets underway, it's pure magic to see their little competitive spirits surface. I'll admit, at first I thought tennis was just about hitting a ball, but they (and I) have learnt it's so much more – the ongoing challenges improve their agility, balance, co-ordination, social skills and strength. And, while they were challenged – they are having FUN in every single lesson.
Confidence is a big thing as a kid. I believe kids learn and blossom through positive enforcement. And that's one of the main reasons my tribe have been keen to keep coming back for more. Whether they hit the ball or don't – they feel confident. That comes down to the amazing coaches available across Australia. The modified courts, lowered nets and low compression balls (that don't bounce too high) ensure the kids feel comfortable and their goals are within reach. The coaches really help them, every step of the way.
So to all of the mums that have messaged me about tennis in general and what I thought of the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program, I can highly recommend giving it a go! It's such a great sport on so many levels and what I love is that any level can join and they take kids from 3 years of age!


Maybe it's happened to you. Maybe you know of a friend or family member that it's happened to. And cartoon characters have certainly fallen victim to it on more than one occasion. But it's not funny when one's sweaters and other woolen clothing items are destroyed by moth damage. And this destruction isn't just limited to woolen clothing. Wool rugs that fall victims to moths can be so chewed up that they become unusable, with huge bare patches and even underlying threading exposed.
Adult moths are actually not the wool eating culprits. They lack chewing mouth parts. Many species of adult moths don't eat at all. However, that's not the case for their numerous offspring. Voracious eaters and accomplished chewers, moth larva can consume impressive amounts of food in a single day. While the four known species of "clothes moths" started out munching on plants, it unfortunately didn't take them long to develop a taste for human fabrics. When female moths lay their eggs they're actually not looking for a free meal for their future children. But the denseness of wool provides the perfect hiding place for moth eggs. Once these eggs hatch, these rugs serve as not only a nursery, but as a cafeteria as well for the very hungry moth larva.
Spraying the rug with insecticide. Scattering cedar chips on the rug. And vacuuming the rug with moth balls in the canister or bag. These are but a few of the DIY approaches wool rug owners take when dealing with moth larva infestations. And the results? While such methods might get rid of a few caterpillars, it won't get them all, and it can't prevent re-infestation. There is simply no way that homeowners can thoroughly and safely clean both sides of carpeting or rugs with the in-home methods available to them, which is why the services of a rug cleaning company like ABC Carpet Cleaning of Brooklyn can be invaluable.
New York City's leading cleaner and restorer of fine rugs for more than two decades, ABC's technicians know that in the war on moth larva nothing less than a professional factory cleaning will do. Once the infested rug is at the facility it will be washed thoroughly on both sides, destroying larva. Safe and professional heating methods will destroy any eggs. And technicians will also treat wool rugs to make them less "appetizing" to future larva. This also helps to safeguard the rug for storage. And unlike amateur methods, this type of cleaning also removes ingrained soil while protecting the rug's weave and color.
Given that "clothes moths" can remain in larva form anywhere from two months to almost three years, you certainly don't want them making themselves at home on your wool rugs. If you suspect moth infestation, don't hesitate to call for professional help, and safeguard your beautiful investments.


Boris Blacher (1903–75) was a prolific, imaginative composer whose name and work have sadly become obscure. He absorbed influences from all the major schools of musical thought he lived through, from neo-classicism and twelve-tone through electronic and experimental. But his music maintained a strong personal identity, and it was often surprising.
After being banished from cultural life for promoting the music of Schoenberg, Hindemith and other modern composers that the Nazis had labeled "degenerate," Blacher rose to prominence after the war as both a composer and a composition teacher. Having established a reputation as an iconoclast with such operas as Abstract Opera No. 1 (1957) and Zwischenfälle bei einer Notlandung (Incident at a Crash Landing, 1964), Blacher defied expectations in 1969 with 200.000 Taler (200,000 Thaler), a very realistic opera based on a story by Sholem Aleichem, who today is most famous for having written the play that was adapted into Fiddler on the Roof.
Set on a Russian shtetl around the start of the twentieth century, Aleichem's play Dos Groijse Gewins (The Big Prize, or The Jackpot) tells the story of an impoverished tailor whose life is transformed by winning a lottery. Director Gustav Rudolf Sellner's world-premiere production opted for a very down-to-earth style, befitting the subject matter. Blacher wrote the opera in a conversational style, adhering closely to the form of the original play; there are no arias or set pieces. His music utilizes modernist techniques, incorporating the speech rhythms of the text, and it's complex yet extremely accessible. Listeners who dislike modern music will find this opera palatable and approachable, yet more adventurous listeners will also find much to admire in Blacher's inventiveness. While invoking elements of Jewish folk music, he avoids the boring practice of our own time, in which composers present such source music verbatim. Blacher pays respect to the culture without pandering to it. The music keeps the drama moving forward without overwhelming the storyline.
This studio recording gives the production an advantage: the voices are never buried, as they would be in a live setting, so one hears every line with utmost clarity (although at times this perfect balance can be unsettling). The original cast is wonderful, a reminder of the great singers who were active forty-five years ago. Baritone Günter Reich is convincing and charismatic as the tailor, Schimele Soroker. He captures both the anxiety of Schimele's poverty and his unsophisticated bumptiousness when trying to move in upper-class social circles. The great Wagnerian mezzo Marta Mödl gives a fine supporting performance as Schimele's wife. The two assistant tailors, both desperately in love with Schimele's daughter Bailke, are heard in wonderful, sonorous performances by tenor Ernst Haefliger and bass-baritone Gerd Feldhoff. Bailke's honest, homespun charms are particularly on display in the glowing performance of soprano Dorothea Weiss. The supporting cast is impeccable, and Heinrich Hollreiser leads the orchestra with dynamic intensity.
Neither Blacher's opera nor the Aleichem story on which it is based is a monumental work. However, and fortunately, not everything needs to be. 200.000 Taler is a delightful, entertaining look at the human comedy. And this excellent film version presents the opera in the warm, loving light it deserves.

Terrorism, treachery and Australian citizenship
23 Jun 2015|Neil James
Public debate about reform of our citizenship laws continues to be hampered by a significant categorisation error.
Whether Australian citizenship should be held by traitors remains the heart of the matter. The core issue is how we deal with treachery rather than how we define citizenship.
The revocation of Australian citizenship due to treachery even if considered only as a matter of punishment—and not also as active deterrence—can surely only be discussed properly by addressing the nature, gravity and consequences of the crime involved.
However, because treason and treachery aren't commonplace crimes, much of the current debate only discusses modes of determining punishment.
Discussion has been further confused by contextual misunderstandings, and by ignorance and misunderstanding of the relevant constitutional and legal history—especially during times when Australia was at war.
Protagonists on all sides of rule-of-law questions end up failing to acknowledge what are essentially wartime circumstances applying to treachery in the current case of Islamic State.
They overlook the relevant High Court rulings, from both World Wars and the Korean War, that firmly established the principle that the defence and security heads of power in the Constitution wax and wane according to the seriousness of the threat.
For example, in regulations under the National Security Act, 1939, ministers were lawfully authorised, subject to judicial appeal, to:
ban extremist political parties sympathetic to enemy countries and their allies;
intern enemy citizens, other foreign aliens and naturalised Australians with perceived enemy sympathies; and
intern Australian citizens by birth who were considered likely to pose a security threat.
That principle is also why, on the other hand, the High Court struck down the Act dissolving the Communist Party of Australia in 1951. Even though Australia was directly fighting communist aggression in the Korean War the High Court judged the nature of the overall threat to national security at that stage didn't justify the ban.
While the dual international and domestic threats posed by Islamist terrorism aren't existential in nature, they surely justify more than traditional 'peacetime' counter-treachery and counter-terrorism measures.
Moreover, such measures aren't 'ultra vires' or otherwise contrary to the rule-of-law as some would believe.
Public debate is largely ignoring the obvious relevance of finally closing the 1945–2001 Burchett loophole in our previous treason and treachery laws by the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act, 2002.
After the David Hicks case, the 2002 reforms ended the archaic requirement—prohibited by the UN Charter half a century previously—that wars had to be 'declared' before alleged traitors could be prosecuted. Armed conflict (war) now exists as a material fact according to international law.
The reforms rightly made it a crime to serve with any armed group fighting against the Australian Defence Force, not just with an enemy nation-state.
While fighting for the Islamic State is therefore illegal, the continuing flaw in the Citizenship Act (Section 35), now recognised by the Abbott government, is that citizenship is only revoked automatically when the traitor is fighting for a nation-state and only if they are a dual citizen or dual national.
Section 35 has never been used nor have similar provisions in previous legislation (back to the first Citizenship Act in 1948) ever been used because of the Burchett loophole, not because automatic revocation somehow contradicted the rule-of-law.
We owe an obligation to our fellow Australians whom we deploy to war and peacekeeping on our behalf to prohibit all acts that intentionally or recklessly assist an enemy fighting them. In particular we must actively deter as well as punish treachery because it unequivocally embodies a rejection of the mutual responsibilities and shared values of Australian citizenship and Australia's wider obligations as a responsible international citizen.
The current debate also reveals ethical contradictions and a certain loss of perspective.
Few Australians, for example, seem to bat an eyelid at the battlefield killing, by our defence force or our Coalition partners, of an Australian traitor who has chosen to side and fight with Islamic State. Yet there's quibbling about whether such traitors should, or even can, have their Australian citizenship revoked for such treachery, even when the traitor renounces it.
Such confusion also causes significant moral and practical problems, particularly where it means Australian law enforcement agencies and our defence force are hindered in exchanging relevant intelligence with allied forces fighting in UN-endorsed coalition operations combating terrorism.
Our obligations under international law must be accorded due weight, not somehow be considered universally subordinate to any legal rights traitors might seek to retain in such grave circumstances.
Freely switching your allegiance to a terrorist group such as Islamic State and going to join it in the Middle East is not a normal crime. Australia has national and international responsibilities to deter and counter such serious crime globally, not just punish those traitors we're eventually able to capture and put on trial in Australia.
Ideally every traitor would be punished by being convicted in an Australian court, but making this a universal precondition for revoking their Australian citizenship causes insuperable moral and practical difficulties. There are several considerations here.
First, you must be able to capture traitors and then bring them back to Australia for trial. If not, treachery remains undeterred. At trial the facts establishing their treachery must be admissible as evidence, despite the obvious difficulties in undertaking an Australia-standard investigation in war zones and countries where the rule of law has ceased to exist.
Second, requiring conviction by an Australian court in all circumstances is unfair, at best, to the men and women we lawfully deploy to confront such traitors on the battlefield, especially before any capture of the traitor for trial in Australia is even remotely, if at all, possible.
Third, the impractical precedent by the Victorian Court of Criminal Appeal in the Jack Thomas case must be overcome. This effectively excludes evidence gathered by the AFP in the relatively lawless countries where terrorists tend to get captured, even when our police advise suspects of their rights and they freely admit the facts.
We must be able to deter as well as punish treachery by revocation of citizenship so battlefield killing is not left as the only alternative where capture and trial is impractical or impossible.

Q: Bitwise addition works on Java but fails on Ruby I was reading through the questions on LeetCode and came across with this one:
"Calculate the sum of two integers a and b, but you are not allowed to use the operator + and -"
Which is a common question on the web.
Java solution for this question is:
public int getSum(int a, int b) {
   while(b!=0){
       int c = a&b;
       a=a^b;
       b=c<<1;
   }
   return a;
}

Which works fine. But the same code in Ruby:
def get_sum(a, b)
    while b != 0 do
       c = a & b;
       a = a ^ b;
       b = c << 1;
   end
   return a;
end

doesn't work. Actually, it works if both 'a' and 'b' are positive numbers but fails if either 'a' or 'b' is a negative number. I suspect the problem is related with shifting the carrier but isn't it the same in Java too? Do you guys have any idea what is different in Ruby.
Thanks in advance.

A: In Java an Integer can be left shifted a fixed number of times before it becomes zero. This number of times is the size or bit count of the integer value (for int it's 32 bits).
That's how your loop breaks in Java as b becomes zero.
However in Ruby there's no limit to how many times a number can be left shifted before it becomes zero as there's no fixed bit count for a number in ruby.
That's why b grows large (may be till we run out of memory).
That is it shouldn't work even with positive numbers and go in an infinite loop.
To break this infinite loop you can limit the precision of the number by taking AND of every result with a fixed precision.
precision = 0xFFFF;
b = (c << 1) & precision;

In case of negative numbers there's one more bottle neck.
Since FixNum doesn't have a fixed size it actually assumes a negative number after bitwise operation to be a positive number so even if 1111 in 2's complement is -1 ruby takes it for a positive value 15.

Housing plan
John Lewis widens services and targets £200m profit
Terry Murden, Editor | October 16, 2020
John Lewis: responding to change
John Lewis and Waitrose are planning to strengthen their partnership by expanding into recycling, savings, insurance and private rented and social housing.
The company's five-year plan will also involve more investment in virtual services and delivery capacity, as well as acquisitions to expand the brand in areas such as horticulture.
Backed by a renewed focus on service and cost savings, the Partnership aims to see profits reach £200m in the next two years and £400m by 2025.
The UK's largest employee-owned business says the business model allows it to invest with a longer term perspective than a conventional business, even in challenging times and amidst a very uncertain economic outlook.
"With this in mind, our five-year plan is self-funding and takes into account uncertain trading," it said.
"The Partnership Plan sees our business continuing to adapt rapidly to changing shopping habits, getting closer to customers online and in-store. We'll also expand in new areas where we believe our values can be a force for good."
It will be bringing partners and products into customers' homes through a tap on an app. This means investing in more virtual services like personal styling , home design and the John Lewis Virtual Christmas shop .
Delivery capacity will be expanded beyond 250,000 orders per week, up from 55,000 before the pandemic and it plans more partnerships like the trial with Deliveroo.
The biggest shift in focus is in what are described as "Inspirational new services".
It said: "We're a Partnership for positive change, improving lives and building a more sustainable future. We'll grow in areas where these are important to our customers, like rental, recycling, savings, insurance and private rented and social housing,"
It is bringing forward its ambition to be net zero carbon by 15 years to 2035 and is committed to halve food waste in its own operations by 2030, a move being extended to the supply chain. It is aiming to help halve customers' household food waste by 2030.
All product categories will have a 'buy back' or 'take back' solution by 2025; all key raw materials in own-brand products will be from sustainable or recycled sources by 2025; and the firm will develop sustainable rental and resale options for customers.
There is a pledge to recruit people coming out of the care system to help them forge a career in the Partnership.
All profits are either invested back in the business or shared with partners as co-owners of the business.
Sharon White: 'we have responded with great agility
"Today, we are committing that when we expect to reach over £200m profit, we will pay partners the voluntary Real Living Wage. We also aim to pay a bonus when profits exceed £150m and our debt ratio falls below four times."
Delivery capacity for Waitrose online has hit over 190,000 weekly slots in six months. John Lewis is now a 60% online retailer, and has successfully adapted to offer many in-store services online.
The company is committing £1bn over five years to accelerate its online business and transform the shops. This will be achieved partly by £300m per year cost savings by 2022.
Investing in data analytics and loyalty plans is part of a new value pledge, which will be announced next year. The historic pledge to be "Never Knowingly Undersold" remains in place until then.
Financial services the Partnership credit card is the UK's biggest retail credit card. There is £100m over five years to quadruple this business, offering new products and services like savings and insurance. It has agreed a new partnership with four providers to create a home insurance product for customers. Customers will also be able to apply for retail credit across all our channels through a deal with BNP Paribas from early 2021.
Housing the firm has identified 20 sites it owns that could be used to benefit local communities by providing affordable housing and a stable income for the Partnership.
Planning applications for two of these will be submitted in the new year in greater London. Entering the 'build to rent' market also allows the firm to furnish properties using John Lewis Home products and deliver Waitrose food.
"We're a landlord already at three of our properties so this is an obvious extension for us. And we're now talking to developers and investors who can help us achieve our ambitions."
Outdoor Living. The company is joining up a number of product lines, including horticulture in Waitrose, garden furniture in John Lewis and the plant nursery, garden design and landscaping services at Longstock Park on the Waitrose Farm. It is considering new partnerships and possible acquisitions.
Rental/Resale/Recycle. It says this a growing priority for customers and it has set targets on being more sustainable.
Sharon White, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership , said: "We've seen five years of change in the past five months and Waitrose and John Lewis have responded with great agility. Our plan means the John Lewis Partnership will thrive for the next century, as it has the last."
Nina Bhatia, executive director of strategy & commercial development at the John Lewis Partnership , said: "This is a bold plan to grow our business and get us much closer to our customers.
"We're creating new inspirational services for customers where strong ethical values and peace of mind matter, like reusing and recycling products, personal savings and rented housing. Our plans will firmly establish Waitrose and John Lewis as the go-to brands for customers that care about quality, value, and sustainability."
