Landfill Solar Runner Up Considers Future of Project
By WHAV News Staff | June 20, 2016
Old Groveland Road, Haverhill, landfill.
The city's Old Groveland Road Landfill.
The bankruptcy of Missouri-based SunEdison has ended for now plans to construct a solar farm at city's former Old Groveland Road landfill. However, the runner-up in the city's bid process is taking a second look at completing the development.
Marlborough-based MassAmerican Energy, which has been named developer of two other city solar arrays, remains interested, A. Quincy Vale, manager, told WHAV today.
"Were interested in pursuing it, but haven't had a chance to see what (the bankruptcy) means. I don't know if we have to buy it through the bankruptcy court process. I'm not sure if it is back in the city's ownership and control," Vale said.
Haverhill Purchasing Agent and Energy Manager Orlando Pacheco said the biggest problem, however, is there is not enough time for any developer to complete the project before state financial incentives expire next January. The city won't rebid the project the until the future of those state financial incentives is known, he said.
"I think at this point the agreement with SunEdison is voided because their response to the original RFP was contingent upon (Solar Renewable Energy Certificate) SREC Two. So we would have to rebid the project at a later date. I think the site is obviously viable because it is a brownfield site. It has, from a solar standpoint, more value. But I think we want to make sure we have a clear understanding of what the future SREC market and the future net metering market is going to be before we rebid that," Pacheco said.
MassAmerican Energy has already been awarded competitively bid contracts for roofs at Haverhill High School and Haverhill Police Station. In those cases, the cost of solar arrays would be borne by MassAmerican and its financiers and investors, and paid back over 10 to 20 years by the city's purchase of electricity, Vale explained.
Haverhill City Councilors Colin F. LePage and Melinda E. Barrett called attention to the bankruptcy by placing an item on tomorrow night's city council agenda. LePage said he became aware of SunEdison's bankruptcy while reading financial publications. A year ago, councilors voted 8-1 to allow the city to enter a net metering agreement with the solar power operator. The project was expected then to be completed by September of this year.
"Landfill solar projects, in particular, take an incredibly long time to develop. A lot of that has to do with the fact they're normally brownfield sites and they require additional environmental permitting on top of just your standard municipal permitting. So in many case it takes a couple years to get a solar project built and SunEdison just doesn't have the time," Pacheco said.
SunEdison Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection in April after reporting debts of $16.1 billion in a New York City court. It has already reached a deal to sell some of its development rights in Maine's King Pine wind project for about $26.5 million. It was unclear at deadline whether the company would seek to keep its Haverhill bid award as a saleable asset during the bankruptcy project.

A growing number of folks are selecting cheap vinyl floors as their flooring of taste. There's nothing cheap about it except its cost.
Vinyl is deemed top notch flooring material to each of the points that matter.
Vinyl is comparatively inexpensive. In comparison with different forms of floors vinyl leads the bunch in regards to savings. It costs less square-metre. In the very long term, you will get much larger savings. Vinyl, specifically Livyn, is springy and lasting; it may serve you longer than other forms of flooring. Additionally, it takes very little to keep it sturdy and keep it looking new.
Vinyl is also simple to install, so saving you money paying for your person hours of people that you employ to install it to you.
Luxurious vinyl flooring is your refreshing alternative rather than the pricier floors made from pure rock, ceramic-tiles timber. You will find published vinyl tiles that look just like its counterpart – without the hefty price tag. Your rooms will appear amazing and wealthy with those look-alikes.
A lot of people dream about getting warm and incredibly lovely wood as floors. But they're set off by the cost, in addition to from the idea of how hard it's to keep up a floor made from wood.
Because of improvements in manufacturing technologies, now you can have a flooring that resembles your selection of any timber – much tropical, wrought iron or exotic timber – minus the frustrations related to wood. You may elect for luxury vinyl floors that resembles solid hard-to-find traditional hardwood. You might even have vinyl floors with wood layout on your basement or toilet, areas that are a certain no-no for timber floors due to their proximity to water. You might also have precisely the identical pattern set up on your kitchen a place where very few might think about timber for due to their heavy foot traffic along with robust chances of stains and spills. Made from vinyl, nevertheless, your flooring are far warmer and more comfortable to measure. They'll be simpler and easier to watch over. And they'll seem vibrant, obviously yellowish, and imbued with a perfect mix of beautiful colours that are jazzy and colors.

New York AG That Attacked Exxon Sued For Concealing Investigation
The Daily Caller speaks with Sam Kazman on CEI's lawsuit against New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) officials are suing New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for refusing to release documents that could reveal a coordinated campaign against climate change dissenters.
CEI filed a lawsuit Tuesday in New York State Supreme Court. Schneiderman denied the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit's May 5 request under New York's Freedom of Information Law for all documents involving a "common-interest agreement" among Schneiderman, state attorneys general and environmental groups seeking to intimidate climate change dissenters with subpoenas.
"What is AG Schneiderman's office trying to hide?" CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman said in a statement. "None of the reasons Schneiderman claimed for withholding these documents are legitimate under New York law."
Kazman said, "the public deserves to know what this AG, and the other AGs cooperating with him, agreed to when it came to targeting their political opponents, and that's why we sought the common-interest agreement in the first place."

Swiss government rejects 3rd gender option, at least for now
BERLIN (AP) — The Swiss government on Wednesday rejected the idea of introducing a third gender option or no-gender option for official records, a position which differs from that of some neighboring countries.
Responding to two proposals from parliament, the governing Federal Council said "the binary gender model is still strongly anchored in Swiss society."
"The social preconditions for the introduction of a third gender or for a general waiver of the gender entry in the civil registry currently are not there," it said.
The Federal Council added that such options would require "numerous" changes to the Swiss Constitution and to laws both at the national level and in the country's 26 cantons (states). Currently, people are entered into the civil registry as male or female, with no other option.
The government said a national ethics commission found in a 2020 report that the time wasn't yet right for a change to the system.
Switzerland has an unusual political system in which four parties from the left to the nationalist right are represented in the government and frequent referendums are held on all kinds of issues.
In 2018, the German government approved a third gender option for official records, allowing people to be registered as "diverse." The law already allowed for gender to be left blank.
In doing so, Germany complied with a ruling the previous year from the country's highest court, which decided that people must be allowed to be entered in records as neither male nor female.
Ruling on a case brought by an intersex person, judges ordered German authorities either to create a third identity or scrap gender entries altogether.
In Austria, a federal court ruled in 2018 that authorities must allow people to be entered in official records as something other than male or female, if they so wish. However, it found no need to change the country's existing law since it didn't specify explicitly that people's gender must be male or female.

The 2022 Macao Fashion Festival showcased inspiring styles and created exciting opportunities for future fashion businesses.
Held at the Venetian's Cotai Expo during the Macau International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF) last week, and organised by the Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Centre (CPTTM), the festival featured the latest collections from Macao, Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, and combined virtual and physical fashion for the first time.
The virtual fashion show was presented by a video clip featuring a 3D illustration of fashion outfits, while models walked around the catwalk wearing physical versions of the clothes that made up the virtual fashion show.
404absent, a local fashion brand established earlier this year, is the first to produce electronic clothing in Macao.
The co-founder of 404absent, Fong Chon Kit, told The Macau Post Daily that the brand was developing sustainable and adaptable Meta Fashion that will be sold in non-fungible tokens (NFT).
Fong emphasised that he hopes the development of digital clothing will help solve the problems of overproduction and massive material waste in today's fashion industry by making clothing sustainable, where designers don't have to stock up when producing a batch of clothing, thus reducing costs, and where customers see the clothing 1:1 on their devices through virtual demonstrations.
404absent co-founder Sam Hio Lam said that in addition to virtual fashion, they want to create an augmented reality (AR) filter, a computer-generated effect designed to be placed on real-life pictures where it can be used to fit their products without having to actually try them on.
Sam said the AR filter would allow users to switch clothes to make them appear to fit their bodies so they could change clothes whenever and wherever they want. "People can take more photos and upload them to their social media, having different outfits in the same place at the same time," he said.
However, Sam said she thought that people are quite conservative about virtual fashion, and she believed that this was mainly due to the public having no concept of this new kind of fashion yet.
"What we want to do is a combination of real and virtual clothing, to get people to accept that virtual fashion is not just about animation, but a new way of presenting themselves," she added.
Maconsef, a brand from CPTTM Fashion Incubation Programme (Maconsef), focuses on fostering the Design in Macao concept.
According to CPTTM, the programme is administered by its Creative Fashion and Image Department (CFI) and the mission is to promote and support Macao's cultural and creative industry.
Carl Chao, one of the brand's designers, said the programme allows students to become familiar with the actual processes of the fashion industry, from design to production.
Chao described the designs as inspired by a German expressionist science fiction drama film called Metropolis, which used elements of robotics to highlight the theme of technological coolness.
Chao said the programme brings young designers like them into the fashion design industry, allowing them to realise their creative potential and working with them to promote and develop the fashion industry.
Macao Baby, started by Macao Youth Model Association, whose members were selected primarily through a teen modelling contest in May, represents the "cream of the crop" of local teen models, said Iris Chan, a fashionista and modelling instructor.
Chan said: "I was very pleased with the performance of the young models, who interpreted each outfit well and performed calmly on stage." She added that she appreciates the kids' clothing brands for tailoring the clothes for each of the teen models.
"We help students discover their beauty by providing them with a platform to discover themselves and collaborate with the outside world," said Chan, adding that local teen models gained more exposure by participating in last week's fashion festival in Macao, considered the biggest event of the year for the local fashion industry.
Chan said she hopes that Macao Baby, as a brand, can collaborate with more local brands so they can help each other, and by training Macao Baby's young models to perform they can help local children's fashion designers showcase their products.

It tastes best when it is cooked el dante. Served with rice or chapati. Serves 2.
This is a typical Tamil recipe. It is a simple dish to make. The best thing about beans is that it is so filling. Everybody loves beans. It is cheap and available throughout the year. To pick beans the ends should snap easily and they need to be green and free of black and brown spots.

Comic Reviews: Avengers and X-Men: AXIS and Wytches!
October 9, 2014 October 9, 2014 Jonwahizzle
Comic Reviews!
This week Marvel's latest event kicks off with Avengers & X-Men: AXIS, and Scott Snyder and Jock introduce us to Wytches!
Avengers & X-Men: AXIS #1 (of 9) (Marvel Comics)
The latest Marvel event is here, and it's off to a pretty rocky start.
Wait, I should be clearer. Avengers & X-Men: AXIS is a good start to an event comic. It builds on writer Rick Remender's stories from not only Uncanny Avengers, but Uncanny X-Force as well. However, the place this book really falters in is in the art, which was not what I was expecting from someone as well known in the industry as Adam Kubert.
Much of this first issue picks up immediately from the last issue of Uncanny Avengers, which had Havok, Rogue, and Scarlet Witch trapped in the Red Skull's mutant internment camps. After witnessing Magneto kill the Red Skull, they believe the threat is over. That is, until the Skull re-emerges as Red Onslaught, and begins to use his powers to telepathically control everyone in the world. Due to some of their respective members being kidnapped by the Skull, the Avengers and the X-Men arrive on the scene and begin to bring the fight to Skull. Do things go well? It's the first issue, what do you think?
I have to say, Remender's plot is pretty good. After a two-page recap, he sets up the story and keeps it moving at a quick pace. Yet one thing that keeps bothering me is everyone's reaction to Magneto killing the Red Skull. Of all the characters that would be justified in killing the Red Skull (a Nazi who now has the abilities of Charles Xavier), Magneto is definitely the one who shouldn't need to explain himself for doing it. Yet everyone keeps going up to Magneto and telling him how bad of a person he is? Really? Despite this, the rest of the book is good, even if the ending cliffhanger does come out of nowhere.
But now let's talk about the art, because, I'll be honest, it says Adam Kubert on the cover, but I have a very hard time believing that this is him. For the first five pages of this book, I was stunned at how bad the art looked. While it improves as the issue goes on, the opening looks extremely rushed, and my coworker mentioned that it almost looked like it was something Kubert did quickly with the intention of going back and fixing it later. Perhaps it's a new inker, perhaps he simply didn't have time, or maybe it's a new style that he's trying, but man, Adam Kubert really dropped the ball on this issue, which is surprising because given the hype around this event, you'd think Marvel would want to make sure that the art was the best it could be.
Art aside, Avengers & X-Men: AXIS, like all recent Marvel events, is off to a pretty good start. Whether it'll be the next Secret Invasion or Age of Ultron is still up for grabs, but for now it's worth picking up for those who've been following Uncanny Avengers or want to follow what's going on in the Marvel Universe. Just be prepared to shell out $5 for it,
Wytches #1 (Image)
Scott Snyder returns to the world of creator-owned material with Wytches. A new collaboration with artist Jock, Wytches takes a look at the monsters that we think we know, and reveals something much, much darker. All those years of us thinking of witches as green ladies with pointy hats? They were nothing, just worshippers of something much more evil.
This first issue has a lot of set up, which is to be expected from a first issue. We're introduced to Charles Rooks, a graphic novelists who's recently moved his family to New Hampshire after his teenage daughter Sailor has a traumatic event at her old school. This event has triggered panic attacks in Sailor, and while her mother and father are trying their best to help her, it's not working. Sailor believes that she summoned a creature to attack the girl who was bullying her in the woods, and no matter what her father tells her, she won't believe him that it was all a hallucination.
Scott Snyder's gift for creating believable characters is in full effect here. Both Sailor and Charles are extremely empathetic characters that we like from the first time we see them. Snyder has said in interviews that he's suffered from depression in the past, and it's very brave of him to put some of that into a character like Sailor. Snyder's script is also extremely moody, and there's a constant feeling of dread as you read the story.
Adding to that feeling of dread is Jock's artwork, which completes the horror tale that Snyder is putting together. This is some of the creepiest artwork Jock has done to date, and that's including his incredible art on Detective Comics #880, which featured his chilling take on The Joker. Jock's art is very effective, and adds to the creepy atmosphere that the book creates.
Wytches is off to a good start, and it's an awesomely spooky comic for this time of year. As an added bonus, Snyder has a fairly lengthy article in the back of the book where he describes his inspiration for this series. Wytches is easily one of the best first issues of the year, and another rock solid comic by Scott Snyder. It's well worth your $3.

Snyder's take on vampire mythology in American Vampire is fantastic, so I'm really excited to read though my new books this week and get to Wytches to see what he does with it.
aimbotmaster says:
Didn't really care for the first issue of AXIS other than a few good scenes, but especially after what happens to a certain character from Wolverine and the Xmen ;( And how there was little to no reaction to it.
I might read the Hobgoblin mini!

Wytches was awesome, Snyder is one of the best writers in comics currently without a doubt.

Meet the 'Para Queens' – the multi-sport dream team training together during lockdown – The Telegraph
May 16, 2020 Gary Scott	0 Comments latest sports, sports, uk sports
With no fewer than 28 Paralympic medals won by its 11 members, rower Lauren Rowles could hardly have picked a more apt name for the training group helping keep some of Britain's leading female para-athletes motivated during the coronavirus disruption.
Going by the title of "Para Queens" on their WhatsApp group, it represents a multi-sport dream team. From five-time gold medallist swimmer Ellie Simmonds to four-time Paralympian Claire Cashmore, as well as rising stars aiming for their first Games next year, it is a Who's Who of British para-sport which Rowles put together as soon as the reality of training alone for the foreseeable future hit.
"I was doing a couple of [virtual] weight sessions with cyclist Helen Scott, who's a good friend of mine, because we're both pretty big lifters," Rowles, 22, says in an interview over video call. "In the same week I had Kare Adenegan [sprinter] and Charlotte Henshaw [canoeist] text me asking if I was up for doing an online session together. So, I said right, let's get a group set up and if you've not met each other you can 'meet' online in this girls group."
The result is a virtual community where they can lean on each other for motivation as their respective elite sport organisations work on trying to deliver a safe return to organised training.
"I think it's a strange thing with Paralympic athletes, we all know each other but don't really speak to each other a lot," says Rowles, who is missing the feeling of being free of her wheelchair in a boat on the water but draws positives from the frequent messages that ping across on the WhatsApp group.
"Now we chat on the group, keeping spirits high, and once a week we'll do a gym session over Zoom, and that's been so awesome. It's incredibly inspiring just to see how these girls operate. In between reps, we'll be at our laptops shouting, 'Come on girls, get the lift,' for whoever is going," Rowles says, imitating their enthusiasm by getting her face as close to the camera as possible.
"It's supportive and competitive as well. It's immense the amount of motivation I get from these girls. On my bad days, where I'm like I can't do another session, I call them up and they can give me a pep talk."
As well as the sessions with the Para Queens, Rowles has been on video calls with the British Rowing team as they adapt to indoor sessions. The advantage of competing in a sport that has specific indoor machinery is not lost on Rowles, though, and is why she has made the effort to make it accessible to para-athletes not as fortunate.
Eight-time world champion para-swimmer Alice Tai reached out to her on Instagram asking for tips to use her parents' ancient rowing machine while in lockdown. Not only did Rowles add her to the Para Queens chat, and teach her how to fix her seat by jamming it with a tea towel, but she also gave her a rowing training programme.
"I can't use my legs to row, and I knew Lauren had a fixed seat, so I was like, you know what, I'm going to drop her a message and see how it goes," Tai, 21, says. "Lauren gave me some sessions to do, she was monitoring my progress and it got to the point where she felt like I could comfortably join some of the GB sessions. Now I'm doing sessions with them every week, so I've kind of been adopted into a second team, which is really cute and they're all lovely."
Rowles is mentoring athletes in wheelchair rugby and basketball who have taken to their own ergometers, feeding back to them on technique and acknowledging the added accessibility challenges adaptive sport has. "In the para-rowing team we all have custom supports, and when we went into lockdown I literally must have had 30 people messaging me from the adaptive community saying, 'I've got this indoor rowing machine, how can I adapt it?' Equipment is a huge thing, but access to knowledge is as well.
"Adaptive rowing is so different to able-bodied rowing, I wanted to make sure these guys weren't injuring themselves."
Despite being sick during one of the more intense early sessions, Tai has officially got the rowing bug thanks to her new coach's guidance, and Rowles says she and Tai's swimming coach are even goal-setting with an aim to possibly have the swimmer compete at the British Rowing Indoor Championships come December.
Tai says the community she has gained in lockdown makes next year's Paralympic Games more exciting than ever. "I feel like in Tokyo next year there's going to be a huge community feel, more so than ever, because in Rio I only knew the swimmers. Now I've reached out and all the different sports are learning from and getting to know each other. I really love it."
"It's actually made us really sad because when we come out of isolation, we're not going to be able to train together," Rowles adds. "So, now we're like, 'Aw, we've created this group and it's not going to go ahead after lockdown.' "

The iPhone 4 Has Been Made Obsolete
It could be worse—you could have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
by Anna Lewis | Nov 5, 2016
It's over. The iPhone 4 dream is over because Apple has made that bad boy obsolete as of November 1.
What that means is that Apple has added it to their official list of obsolete products, which is where they put all their products that haven't been manufactured in the last seven years. If something hasn't been made for five years, it just goes on a "vintage" list. But it's time for the 4 to make its move from vintage to obsolete.
The company will no longer offer service repairs on phones on the obsolete list, so try not to drop it in the toilet again, yeah?
"Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions," the company explained on its website. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products."
The iPhone 4 was first released in 2010 and was succeeded by the iPhone 4S in 2011.
Apple ceased making the iPhone 4 in 2013, after it achieved the milestone of being the firm's longest serving flagship handset, racking up 15 months in the top spot. So we're not really sure how this maths works because surely that's only three years!
But don't worry, because you can still use it as a paperweight, so that's cool???

Apple Safari 3.1 Browser Under Attack - InternetNews:The Blog - Sean Kerner - InternetNews.
It's not just Mozilla's CEO that is leveling attacks at Apple's new Safari 3.1 web browser for Windows. Apparently security researchers are taking aim at Safari 3.1 as well, discovering at least two highly critical vulnerabilities (as rated by Secunia).
One flaw is a memory corruption issue that could be exploited if a user is downloading a .ZIP file with a really long filename.
The second flaw is an address bar spoofing issue.
Frankly, I wouldn't have rated both of these issues as 'Highly Critical' myself since they both require user interaction (but hey I'm not currently a full time security researcher).
Then again, Mozilla just fixed a memory corruption related issue with Firefox 2.0.0.13 yesterday, which was rated as "Critical" by Mozilla itself. Though Firefox 2.0.0.13 did fix a spoofing issue which was only rated as being "High".
Apple has not yet made any kind of patch available for Safari 3.1 for the new issues, so if you're running Safari - also use common sense and as always - DON'T VISIT UNTRUSTWORTHY SITES! (but that goes for any browser on any platform).

Kworidor is a 2- or 4-player abstract strategy game.
Kworidor is played on a game board of 81 square spaces (9x9).
Each player is represented by a pawn which begins at the center space of one edge of the board (in a two-player game, the pawns begin opposite each other). The object is to be the first player to move his/her pawn to any space on the opposite side of the gameboard from which it begins.
The distinguishing characteristic of Kworidor is its twenty walls. Walls are flat two-space-wide pieces which can be placed in the groove that runs between the spaces. Walls block the path of all pawns, which must go around them. The walls are divided equally among the players at the start of the game, and once placed, cannot be moved or removed. On a turn, a player may either move his/her pawn, or, if possible, place a wall.
Pawns can be moved to an adjacent space (not diagonally), or, if adjacent to another pawn, jump over that pawn. If an adjacent pawn has a third pawn or a wall on the other side of it, the player may move to any space that is immediately adjacent to other adjacent pawns. The official rules are ambiguous concerning the edge of the board.
Walls can be placed directly between two spaces, in any groove not already occupied by a wall. However, a wall may not be placed which cuts off the only remaining path of any pawn to the side of the board it must reach.


Jockey Rafael Bejarano punched the accelerator at the last minute to get #1 Mr. Holmes up.
Really in the late stages of this race, it was Zephaniah's to lose. But the 11-to-1 shot just couldn't last.
Zephaniah, who stalked the pace of #6 Dial Four Peace on the backstretch, began making his move on the turn when jockey Martin Garcia went to the whip. He took the lead in midstretch and it didn't look like any of his rivals were making a move.
Even race caller Trevor Denman thought 7-to-5 shot Mr. Holmes was all done. With an eighth of a mile to the wire, Denman gave him a monotoned midstretch courtesy call "Mr. Holmes plugging away from fourth," while the horse was going nowhere, four lengths behind.
But just about then, #1 Mr Holmes kicked in with a burst of speed and won in the last jump.
I planned to bet Mr. Holmes at 2-to-1 or better, so his odds were too low for me. I ended up with $100 on both #3 Zephaniah and 7-to-1 shot #9 Mustang Aleyna.

Musical artist and TV Dad, Ja Rule, best known for his lead role in 2013 Christian drama film I'm in Love With a Church Girl and also getting cold-cocked by 50 Cent that one time, is back with a brand new business opportunity.
The Brand Ambassador for Magnises (the totally legitimate and not a pyramid scheme service that allowed users to pay $250 dollars a month to slide their credit card into a larger credit card) once said on Fox Business, "When you marry the affluent with the less fortunate, you get…the birthchild…that is hip-hop". At Ja Rule's Fyre festival—where trapped millionaires wearing $2000 Gucci loafers can be seen beating each other over the head with toilet tanks for the grease left on empty pizza boxes—this philosophy appears to have been kept in mind: Fyre Festival is super Hip-Hop. When asked for comment, the rapper who once levied a diss track at Eminem's infant daughter did his best to ease the minds of the attendees.
Ja Rule then threw several copies of his EP into the crowd like frisbees, striking one attendee in the forehead.
When asked about the specific prospects of his future musical output, Ja Rule could only smile.
None of the 7,000 attendees trapped on the island could be reached for comment.

Review: Perth Titanic Exhibition Recreates Doomed Titanic
December 14, 2015 Mark Taylor
The report on the Perth Exhibition, at least according to the writer for the Daily Mail, is glowing. The exhibition does a good job of recreating what the ship looked like often with authentic memorabilia that came either from family members or floating in the ocean (this exhibition, unlike Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition by Premier Exhibitions does not have items brought up from Titanic).
The exhibition features 375 artefacts , replicas of the ship's rooms and the heartfelt stories of the passengers on board and what they felt the night the large ship sunk into the freezing cold water. Some of the artefacts displayed in glass cases were found floating in the water after the boat sank or were hidden in the pockets of people who survived the disaster. Many others were donated by families of passengers. They range from the fine china, silverware and chairs displayed in the dining rooms to a pocket watch and clothing.
The pictures in the article really show that this exhibition is worth visiting if you have the chance. While you may not want to fly all the way to Perth to see it, the exhibition is traveling so chances are it will end up somewhere where you can get to it.
Information about the exhibition in Perth can be found at Perth Convention Center website.

Titanic II: Clive Palmer's Rant Another Ding Against It Being Built (In China)
August 31, 2014 Mark Taylor
Shenwumen Gate, Forbidden City, Beijing
Photo:Kallgan (Wikipedia)
Clive Palmer took the airwaves recently saying unkind things about the Chinese. He called the Chinese government "bastards" setting off a firestorm of criticism for his tirade. His remarks were condemned by the Australian prime minister and of course the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He sent a written letter of apology to Chinese ambassador in which he states:
"I regret any hurt or anguish such comments may have caused any party and I look forward to greater understanding for peace and cooperation in the future."
He explained later that his comments were directed at a Chinese company, CITIC Pacific, which he is locked in a legal fight concerning cost overruns and royalties involving the Sino Iron project in Western Australia. That project is a major investment for the Chinese company which until recently was state owned (CITIC Group was acquired by Hong Kong based CITIC Pacific and will begin publicly trading under that name). As such the former state owned company will be subject to stricter rules and disclosure requirements. But many in the financial community are not sure, despite this change, it will really result in major changes. Foreign directors may or may not be involved and the CITIC chairman has said that they are not necessary.
Palmer also said of CITIC in the Sino Iron project in western Australia that it was a "small horse pulling a big cart." That cart is bigger now. It may be officially and legally a Hong Kong corporation but no one believes it is independent of government control. Beijing calls the shots behind the scenes and Palmer knows that. And even if he had just said it about CITIC, they would still be upset that he attacked a Chinese company. At any rate, it just makes building of Titanic II even more remote unless, as I noted before, he goes to Beijing and performs the kowtow.

There is believed to be almost 950,000 horses in the UK. Riding and caring for them is a favoured hobby for many people and people can visit lots of equestrian centres across the country.
Working closely with horses will always come with certain dangers. Injuries and accidents can and do happen. Both rider and horse may be injured if they are involved in a road traffic collision, or someone can fall from or get kicked by a horse when handling them. Whether you are involved in an accident on the roads or at a riding school, you can claim compensation if it is not your fault.
The injuries suffered from a riding accident can be minor but also devastating, especially if any injury to the horse proves fatal. In the worst cases, people can suffer permanent disability or paralysis if they fall from height whilst horse riding. In such circumstances, it is vital you pursue compensation from the negligent party.
The claims process can be a challenging experience, but our personal injury solicitors will be there to guide and support you every step of the way. Compensation can provide a financial safety net if you need to take time off work. If you are unable to fully recover from your injuries, the compensation you are given will also take in to account your long-term future. This includes what you need for medical provision, future care such as adjustments at home, and loss of earnings.

Dissolving Titan
17/06/2015 13019 views 104 likes
ESA /	Science & Exploration /	Space Science
Saturn's moon Titan is home to seas and lakes filled with liquid hydrocarbons, but what makes the depressions they lie in? A new study suggests that the moon's surface dissolves in a similar process that creates sinkholes on Earth.
Apart from Earth, Titan is the only body in the Solar System known to possess surface lakes and seas, as seen by the international Cassini mission. But at roughly –180°C, the surface of Titan is very cold and liquid methane and ethane, rather than water, dominate the 'hydrological' cycle.
Indeed, methane and ethane-filled topographic depressions are distinctive features near the moon's poles. Two forms have been identified by Cassini. There are vast seas several hundred kilometres across and up to several hundred metres deep, fed by river-like dendritic channels. Then there are numerous smaller, shallower lakes, with rounded edges and steep walls, and generally found in flat areas. Many empty depressions are also observed.
The lakes are generally not associated with rivers, and are thought fill up by rainfall and liquids flooding up from underneath. Some of the lakes fill and dry out again during the 30-year seasonal cycle on Saturn and Titan.
But quite how the depressions hosting the lakes came about in the first place is poorly understood.
Titan's lakes close up
A team of scientists have turned to home for the answer and discovered that Titan's lakes are reminiscent of 'karstic' landforms seen on Earth. These are terrestrial landscapes that result from erosion of soluble rocks such as limestone and gypsum in groundwater and rainfall percolating through rocks. Over time, this leads to features including sinkholes and caves under humid climates, and salt-pans under more arid climates.
The rate of erosion depends on factors such as the chemistry of the rocks, the rainfall rate and the surface temperature. While all of these aspects clearly differ between Titan and Earth, the underlying process may be surprisingly similar.
A team lead by ESA's Thomas Cornet calculated how long it would take for patches of Titan's surface to dissolve to create these features. They assumed that the surface is covered in solid organic material, and that the main dissolving agent is liquid hydrocarbons, and took into account present-day models of Titan's climate.
The scientists found that it would take around 50 million years to create a 100 m-deep depression at Titan's relatively rainy high polar latitudes, consistent with the youthful age of the moon's surface.
"We compared the erosion rates of organics in liquid hydrocarbons on Titan with those of carbonate and evaporite minerals in liquid water on Earth," describes Thomas.
"We found that the dissolution process occurs on Titan some 30 times slower than on Earth due to the longer length of Titan's year and the fact it only rains during Titan summer.
"Nevertheless, we believe that dissolution is a major cause of landscape evolution on Titan, and could be the origin of its lakes."
Ligeia Mare
In addition, the scientists calculated how long it would take to form lake depressions at lower latitudes, where the rainfall is reduced. The much longer timescale of 375 million years is consistent with the relative absence of depressions in these geographical locations.
"Of course, there are a few uncertainties: the composition of Titan's surface is not that well constrained, and neither are the long-term precipitation patterns, but our calculations are still consistent with the features we see today on Titan's relatively youthful billion-year-old surface," says Thomas.
"By comparing Titan's surface features with examples on Earth and applying a few simple calculations, we have found similar land-shaping processes that could be operating under very different climate and chemical regimes," says Nicolas Altobelli, ESA's Cassini–Huygens project scientist.
"This is a great comparative study between our home planet and a dynamic world more than a billion kilometres away in the outer Solar System."

Karen had warned me about this. Warned me that I wasn't friendly enough. Too cold and distant. She pleaded that I do more, make some friends, join some type of sports team. I promised I would, but never did. And here I was in a new town, away from family, friendless and without Karen.
That night I couldn't sleep. I drank milk. I did some push ups. I even took some of the green and white pills for my hands, which made me drowsy, but nothing more than that. The television was on at all times now, a voice, a soothing human voice in the background. I popped some popcorn, opened a beer and switched it to ESPN and listened to the sportscasters carry on with some pointless drivel. Waiting for them to say something stupid, I'd yell at the screen and chuck popcorn at the two dimensional figures. It was my first semi-human interaction in more than two days. Someone from the apartment below hit the floor with a blunt object. I yelled back and they returned the verbal assault with something unintelligible. Perhaps tomorrow I would leave them a treat, maybe a broken back window or slashed tires.

Logic (from the Greek λογική, logikē) refers to both the study of modes of reasoning (which are valid and which are fallacious) and the use of valid reasoning. In the latter sense, logic is used in most intellectual activities, including philosophy and science, but in the first sense, is primarily studied in the disciplines of philosophy, mathematics, semantics, and computer science. It examines general forms that arguments may take. In mathematics, it is the study of valid inferences within some formal language. Logic is also studied in argumentation theory.
Logic was studied in several ancient civilizations, including India, China, and Greece. In the west, logic was established as a formal discipline by Aristotle, who gave it a fundamental place in philosophy. The study of logic was part of the classical trivium, which also included grammar and rhetoric.
Logic is often divided into three parts, inductive reasoning, abductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning.

Famous quotes containing the word logic:
"There is no morality by instinct.... There is no social salvation—in the end—without taking thought; without mastery of logic and application of logic to human experience."
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
"...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework."
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
"Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend."
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
