As you plan your next camping trip, be sure that you prepare and have these four handy tent accessories on-hand!
Both convenient and stylish, tent lights can help make camping easier and safer by providing illumination at a moment's notice. Though you will still want to bring a couple of flashlights for the sake of mobility, a tent light can be far superior when you're wanting to read, socialize, or just lounge around in the tent without dealing with a hand-held light source.
This is a heavy tarp or tarp-like material that can be placed underneath your tent in order to protect the material, keep moisture out, and even provide a smidgen of padding. Many tents come with a tent footprint, but not all do–and, moreover, you may wish to invest in a higher-quality tent footprint than the one that came with your original purchase. Protect the investment you made in your tent while sleeping more comfortably: it's a no-brainer!
Basic tent repair kits can be purchased affordably, and this investment could really save you a headache down the road. A good tent repair kit will come with patches for both your screen and the tent body itself, as well as the sewing equipment you will need in order to utilize these patches.
Another accessory that many tents include, but if yours doesn't, you definitely need to invest in a cover, as this can be a lifesaver in the event of rain.
For more valuable camping information, from equipment lists to time-tested advice and more, visit the Saco River Camping Area blog today. If you're interested in booking a stay with us, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible in order to guarantee your spot. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hiding in the Light
This episode explores the wave theory of light as studied by mankind, noting that light has played an important role in scientific progress, with such early experiments from over 2000 years ago involving the camera obscura by the Chinese philosopher Mozi. Tyson describes the work of the 11th century Arabic scientist Ibn al-Haytham, considered to be one of the first to postulate on the nature of light and optics leading to the concept of the telescope, as well as one of the first researchers to use the scientific method. Tyson proceeds to discuss the nature of light as discovered by mankind. Work by Isaac Newton using diffraction through prisms demonstrated that light was composed of the visible spectrum, while findings of William Herschel in the 19th century showed that light also consisted of infrared rays. Joseph von Fraunhofer would later come to discover that by magnifying the spectrum of visible light, gaps in the spectrum would be observed. These Fraunhofer lines would later be determined to be caused by the absorption of light by electrons in moving between atomic orbitals when it passed through atoms, with each atom having a characteristic signature due to the quantum nature of these orbitals. This since has led to the core of astronomical spectroscopy, allowing astronomers to make observations about the composition of stars, planets, and other stellar features through the spectral lines, as well as observing the motion and expansion of the universe, and the existence of dark matter.

Giancarlo Guerrero
Music Director, Martha & Bronson Ingram Music Director Chair, Nashville Symphony
Giancarlo Guerrero is a six-time Grammy Award-winning conductor now in his tenth season as music director of the Nashville Symphony. Guerrero is also music director of the Wrocław Philharmonic at the National Forum of Music in Poland and principal guest conductor of the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal. Guerrero is widely praised for his instinctive musicianship and for bringing to the podium "not only vitality and insight but also an appealing physical dynamism" (The Plain Dealer).
A passionate proponent of new music, Guerrero has championed the works of America's most respected composers through commissions, recordings, and world premieres. Guerrero's advocacy has helped make Nashville a destination for contemporary orchestral music. He has presented nine world premieres with the Nashville Symphony, including the 2016 performance and recent Grammy-winning recording of Jennifer Higdon's All Things Majestic and the 2018 premiere and recording of Jonathan Leshnoff's Symphony No. 4 "Heichalos," written for the Nashville Symphony's Violins of Hope initiative, which featured a collection of restored instruments that survived the Holocaust. As part of his commitment to fostering contemporary music, Guerrero developed and guided the creation of Nashville Symphony's Composer Lab & Workshop initiative, together with composer Aaron Jay Kernis.
Fall of 2018 brought the Naxos release of John Harbison's monumental Requiem with the Nashville Symphony and Chorus. The release marks both Guerrero's first choral recording and the first commercially available release of the work, which received its premiere by the Boston Symphony in 2003. In the spring of 2019, Naxos will release Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony's recording of Leshnoff's Symphony No. 4. Recent seasons have also seen the release of new albums with Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony dedicated to the music of Terry Riley, Michael Daugherty, and Richard Danielpour, as well as a collection of wind concertos by Frank Ticheli, Brad Warnaar, and Behzad Ranjbaran. With the Harbison and Leshnoff releases, Guerrero's rich discography with the Nashville Symphony will number 17.
Outside of Nashville, Wrocław, and Lisbon, Guerrero enjoys relationships with orchestras around the world. His 2018/19 engagements include the Dallas Symphony, Chicago Symphony, NDR in Hannover, OSESP São Paulo, and Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia.
Maestro Guerrero has appeared with prominent North American orchestras, including those of Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Montréal, Philadelphia, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, and the National Symphony Orchestra. He has developed a strong international guest-conducting profile and has worked in recent seasons with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Brussels Philharmonic, Deutsches Radio Philharmonie, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Netherlands Philharmonic, Residentie Orkest, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as the Queensland Symphony and Sydney Symphony in Australia.
Guerrero made his debut with Houston Grand Opera in 2015 conducting Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Early in his career, he worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème, and Rigoletto. In 2008 he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov's one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival.
Guerrero previously held posts as the principal guest conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra Miami (2011-2016), music director of the Eugene Symphony (2002-2009), and associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004).
Guerrero was born in Nicaragua and immigrated during his childhood to Costa Rica, where he joined the local youth symphony. He quickly proved to be a promising young percussionist and came to the United States to study percussion and conducting at Baylor University in Texas and at Northwestern. Given his beginnings in civic youth orchestras, Guerrero is particularly engaged with conducting training orchestras and works regularly with the Curtis School of Music, Colburn School in Los Angeles, and Yale Philharmonia, as well as with the Nashville Symphony's Accelerando program, which provides music education to promising young students from underrepresented ethnic communities. In recent years, he has developed a relationship with the National Youth Orchestra (NYO2) in New York, created and operated by the Weill Institute of Music at Carnegie Hall.
The League would like to thank its sponsors for their generous support of the 74th National Conference.

Mosód (1886-ig Mostenic, ) község Szlovákiában, a Besztercebányai kerületben, a Besztercebányai járásban.

Fekvése
Besztercebányától 17 km-re északkeletre fekszik.

Története
Területén ősidők óta élnek emberek. A késői bronzkorból a lausitzi kultúra hamvasztásos temetőjét találták meg itt.

1340-ben "Mosnyce" néven említik először, neve a szlovák most (= híd) főnévből származik. 1495-ben rézolvasztó hutát alapítottak itt. 1503-tól a 18. század elejéig rézolvasztó hutái besztercebánya hutáihoz tartoztak, később vasolasztó működött bennük. 1513-ban "Gaza Mosthenicze", 1563-ban "Hütten Moschnitz" néven szerepel írott forrásokban. 1796 és 1870 között a Garammente nyersvasát dolgozták fel.

A 18. század végén Vályi András így ír róla: "MOSTENICZA. Tót falu Zólyom Várm. földes Ura a' Liptsei Bányászi Kamara, lakosai katolikusok, határja hegyes."

1828-ban 81 házában 628 lakos élt.

Fényes Elek 1851-ben kiadott geográfiai szótárában így ír a faluról: "Mostenicz, tót falu, Zólyom vmegyében, Lipcséhez északra 1 órányira: 625 kath., 3 evang. lak. Kath. paroch. templom. Vas bányák. Savanyuviz forrás. F. u. a kamara. Ut. p. Besztercze."

A trianoni diktátumig területe Zólyom vármegye Besztercebányai járásához tartozott.

Népessége
1910-ben 522, túlnyomórészt szlovák lakosa volt.

2001-ben 187 lakosából 176 szlovák volt.

2011-ben 220 lakosából 205 szlovák.

Nevezetességei
 Szent Kereszt Felmagasztalása tiszteletére szentelt római katolikus temploma 1846-47-ben épült klasszicista stílusban.

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is the only man to have matched Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi in terms of reaching double figures for goals and assists this season.
The Belgium international has been in breathtaking form during the 2018-19 campaign.
He was eased back into domestic action after helping his country to a third-place finish at the World Cup finals in Russia.
Maurizio Sarri was eager to avoid asking too much, too soon of a key figure in his plans.
Hazard, though, burst out of the blocks by netting 12 times for Chelsea and Belgium across as many appearances.
Eight of those efforts came in club competition, with a further four recorded since – with 10 strikes registered in the Premier League.
The 28-year-old has also contributed a steady stream of assists to the Blues cause.
He entered a meeting with Newcastle having teed up nine goals for grateful team-mates.
Another was then delivered for Willian as Sarri's side locked horns with the Magpies at Stamford Bridge.
To be matching Messi in terms of productivity is some achievement for Hazard.
He has been placed in a talent bracket alongside the global elite over recent years, but has faced questions regarding his ability to produce on a consistent basis.
There have been dips again this season, including a 12-game run without a goal for club and country, but greater end product is being delivered.
And the current campaign could prove to be his most productive to date.
Hazard's highest tally of goals for Chelsea stands at 19, from 2014-15, while he mustered a personal best 11 assists during his debut season with the club in 2012-13.
There is the promise of more to come from him, and Sarri needs a star man to deliver.
The Blues have forced their way back into the Premier League's top four, but have work to do if they are to stay there and secure a return to Champions League competition.


This is merely a smidgen of info. An aunt wrote me, remembering a little info on our Oehlmann family from Cedar Rapids. There was an Ellen Oehlmann who married Hermann Frohoff and they lived in Tallahassee, Florida. I don't know any more about them than that, but it's a connection I had forgotten about. Anyone know of them?


Receiving a phone call from an anxious parent and connecting them to the right person to meet their need.
Having co-workers with expertise in an area I do not have who are willing to share their knowledge with me.
Watching children grow from babies to toddlers to adolescents; becoming all they will be because of parents, families and providers who love them and partner in their care.
Learning each day from the children that I see. Each child adds to my knowledge and wisdom of caring for children.
Working where so many different disciplines can work together, and share their perspective to help us all see things through others' eyes.
Helping kids get moving, at Children's Village I get to help children and their families realize movement they never realized they could get to.
Teaching parents every day how they can help their children and how to better understand their child's behavior so they can enjoy spending time with their child.
Working with the families and seeing the outcomes and growth in each child's development.
. . . and a million other things!

The first Reliability Ride of the 2018–19 Winter season will run on Sunday, 28 October. The Forest Fourscore is an 80-mile route starting from and ending at Carlo's Ices and Tea Rooms (Romsey Rd, West Wellow, SO51 6BG); it takes in some of the Dean Valley and Avon Valley before cutting through the New Forest. Although it is a long route, there are few hills apart from the lane linking Alderbury to Downton.
You will set off at 9:00; your finishing time will be recorded between 2pm and 4pm; before you attempt this ride, be confident of being able to ride at an average speed of 12mph for about seven hours.
If you drive to the start, you can park at Carlo's Ices. Please arrive by 8:45, so that everyone can sign on in time for a prompt departure.
Reliability Rides are not races! They test your endurance, and your ability to follow a paper routesheet or a gpx file uploaded to a navigation device. You can do them solo, or with a group of friends who ride at similar speeds, that is, you can think of them as club runs with the café stop at the end of the route, not in the middle.
The next Reliability Ride is scheduled for the last Sunday in November.


The value of pipe #047 is n/a points.
Baker Egerton told me of a lot of pipes being offered on eBay that included this one. Tom Lawrence won the bidding on the lot so I emailed him to see if this particular pipe was one of those he really wanted. Luckily for me, it wasn't and Tom sold it to me. I finally got a better example for the collection and sold this one to Tom Serwatka.


Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) just introduced a new feature for its Facebook Messenger platform that will allow businesses to integrate Messenger into their own websites.
The Customer Chat plugin allows businesses to use one platform, Facebook Messenger, to manage live chat with customers whether they reach out via Facebook or on the company website, the company says. It also potentially makes it easier for businesses to be accessible for mobile consumers, since people can access Facebook Messenger from their phone, tablet, desktop or other devices.
This new plugin also allows businesses to keep chat history with different customers. So you'll always have that context of past conversations to refer to, whether you're chatting on Facebook or your website. The plugin also supports current Messenger capabilities like payments and rich media.
Today's customers expect businesses to be accessible to them online. And they want to set the terms of those communications. So businesses need to be able to meet customers where they are to make communication as seamless as possible. The addition of this feature means that businesses will have a simple way to chat with customers in real time for sales or customer service purposes. And you'll also be able to manage those communications from one central platform that gives you the context and extra features you need.
Customer Chat is currently in closed beta with select partners including Adore Me, Air France and Mermaid Pillow. But the company plans to open up the feature to more business users soon.
If you're interested in taking advantage of the Customer Chat plugin, you can sign up for a waitlist to be notified when your business is eligible to sign up for Customer Chat.

Wednesday's Campaign Round-Up, 3.24.21
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
March 24, 2021, 4:00 PM UTC
By Steve Benen
* Missouri's field of Republican U.S. Senate candidates got a little larger this morning, with state Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R) kicking off his candidacy. The Missouri Republican boasted this morning about "defending President Trump and the America First agenda."
* In Alabama, Rep. Terri Sewell (D) recently said she was considering her state's open U.S. Senate race, but this morning, the Democratic congresswoman announced she'll seek re-election to the U.S. House instead.
* An interesting observation from Politico: "In three of the most competitive Senate races, Democratic candidates are already campaigning on killing the Senate's 60-vote requirement for most bills, placing the chamber's arcane rules at the forefront of the nascent 2022 midterms." The report specifically focused on the contests in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
* The vote in Alabama on whether workers will unionize in Amazon's Bessemer fulfillment center is ongoing, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will lend his support for the effort with an in-person appearance on Friday.
* The Hill reported yesterday on the latest statewide poll in California, which found limited appetite for removing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) from office: 53% of Californians who say they're likely to vote in the upcoming recall election said they want to keep the incumbent governor where he is. The same survey found 35% of likely recall voters would remove him.
* On a related note, remember Tom Steyer, the billionaire who ran an odd and unsuccessful Democratic presidential campaign? He's now conducting polling in California about the recall effort, and the surveys are including his name among those who might succeed Newsom.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – There's a reason Sabres fans are "cautiously optimistic" whenever the team is doing well or on a winning streak. That's because they understand the heartbreak.
During these nine seasons without making the playoffs, there have been those "glimpses" of success that general manager Jason Botterill talked about during his end of the year zoom call with reporters on Wednesday.
That's what makes fans excited but also reasons they don't get their hopes up because there have been utter meltdowns that have followed those flashes of success.
"Once again we started out great and we just didn't manage our ups and downs as much as we needed to. There were times we were playing really good hockey and then times we went through a slump and we just couldn't seem to get out of it," Sabres defenseman Jake McCabe said.

The ten-game winning streak that had the Sabres in first place in the NHL last year is a good example. What followed was a collapse in the second half of the season. After the ten-game winning streak ended, the Sabres only managed to win 16 more games that season.
#Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin says it's tough to be in Sweden when all of his friends there are going back to North America to play in the 24-team playoff and he isn't.
"It pisses me off a little bit actually." @news4buffalo pic.twitter.com/RpirVfhUrO
Fast forward to this season and as Buffalo won nine of its first 13 games of the season and found itself within striking distance of a playoff spot just six points out at the trade deadline on February 24th. What followed was another collapse in the form of a six-game losing streak that started on their western road trip.
It's those lapses in seasons that cause the Sabres to miss the postseason.
"We had too many poor streaks to combat the good streaks this last year. We started off really, really well and then every team is gonna hit a skid. It's bound to happen and one of the keys to making the playoffs and playing well all season is to manage those skids. We need to find a way to do better at that," Sabres forward Kyle Okposo said.
"I think with Ralph [Krueger] in charge this year coaching us, we were able to flip it around quicker this year as opposed to last year and we were able to get some positive momentum."
Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton day-to-day, won't make trip to Washington
by Paul Stockman / Jan 21, 2021
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Buffalo will be down at least one goaltender for their upcoming series on the road against the Capitals. Carter Hutton suffered an injury against the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night and left the game after the second period. While head coach Ralph Krueger did not say what in particular the injury was, he said the goalie was "day-to-day" and would not be with the team when they traveled to Washington.
Linus Ullmark will travel with the team this week. He missed the previous two games against the Flyers for personal reasons because his father passed away, according to an article on the team website.
Carlton Bailey Re-lives his big moment
by Jerry Sullivan / Jan 21, 2021
Carlton Bailey was born and raised in Baltimore. So last Saturday, as the Bills were preparing to face the Ravens in the AFC divisional round, Bailey got some texts from friends and family back home in Maryland, asking who he was rooting for in the big game.
"I was like, 'Really?'" Bailey said by phone this week from his home outside Charlotte. "I told them I like the Ravens' body of work, but I said, 'There's no doubt I'm pulling for the team that gave me the best opportunity of my life.'"
That was Buffalo, of course, where Bailey played his first five seasons in NFL, a glorious run when the Bills reached the playoffs every year and made it to the first three of their four straight Super Bowls.
by Heather Prusak / Jan 21, 2021
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - When it comes to the Chiefs offense, it's pick your poison for opposing defenses trying to slow down this explosive unit and the Bills know that.
Obviously, it starts with quarterback Patrick Mahomes who is still in concussion protocol but their success also comes from the number of weapons he has around him with the biggest, literally, being tight end Travis Kelce.

Coal Country, a documentary about the battle fought over coal mining in Appalachia, exposes the environmental tragedy and social conflicts that have arisen from mining coal. The Sierra Club is heavily promoting the film by sending out 45-minute promotional videos, promoting their own agenda to rid the US of its reliance on coal. Check out the trailer below, then look for the premiere on Planet Green November 14th at 8:00pm EST.


Cats don't need to be told to relax, take a break and enjoy life. Cats don't multitask (despite the sillyInternet pics). Cats are masters of focusing on one thing at a time. Today's post is piggy-backed from our sister site Boomer Muse and about multitasking myth-busting. Don't be fooled by Gris Gris gazing longingly at the tea. Two seconds later he caught a whiff of his bounty: a piece of smoked salmon. He was rewarded with a little piece of salmon for teaching me to pause, reflect and enjoy.
Think I could have a bite of spider plant to go with that?
Hey, I can multitask – I'll just put a bit of each in my mouth at once!
Excellent point! And I've tried stretching and enjoying the view like a cat, and it is very relaxing. I LOVE your new website design at your sister site. Beautiful!
I am actually starting to take inspiration from my two non-multitaskers. I sometimes just take a weekend day and do nothing but the bare minimum…bath,eat,sleep,feed the cats….
We should be like our cats!
I think the multitasking goes on in the head!!!
The closest my crew comes to multitasking is chewing a mouse toy whilst bunnykicking the ESS! Salem is famous for it.
Tea or salmon? Yep, easy choice!!!
Smart! I'd go for the salmon too.
GG must have really loved the salmon.
Yum. It would be surprising to see a multitasking cat. Love the tea pot (mais oui) and the cream cheese, bagel and lox. Reminds me to order one in Montreal. I will go to St. Viatur and Fairmount both for a taste test. I used to go only to St. V but now we got to F.
have to find my single-tasked cats. In bed. Nite!


On 21 December 1976, Argo Merchant broke apart and emptied its entire cargo of fuel oil, enough to heat 18,000 homes for a year.
"I think that most people will tell you that changes in marine safety are almost exclusively disaster-driven," agrees Dr. Josh Smith, a professor at Kings Point and interim director of the American Merchant Marine Museum.
It hasn't always been that way. Actually, it's been worse. Despite some efforts early on to exert some control over shipping practices, going to sea has been accepted as a risky undertaking as long as man has floated vessels. It was so dangerous an occupation that "the unpredictability of the weather and the vast power of the sea itself seemed so great that for centuries it was assumed that little could be done to make shipping safer," observed the sole globally recognized facilitator of sea safety – the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
That's because, as Francis Stokes put it, "The sea finds out everything you did wrong." Finishing that thought is Anton Chekov, who observed that "The sea has neither meaning nor pity." In short, the sea is not your friend.
While the bulk of modern safety regulation and policy followed the establishment of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization as an arm of the United Nations at the 1948 Geneva Conference (which later became the IMO in 1959), the defining moment in modern maritime safety is the 1912 sinking of the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic after hitting an iceberg on her maiden, and only voyage.
The Titanic may have gotten the ball rolling, but the 1934 sinking of the Morro Castle off the New Jersey coast, which left 126 dead, also left quite a safety legacy in its wake. The ship, which went up in flames, not only led to new fire suppression, protection and control regulations and equipment requirements, it served as the impetus for both the U.S. Merchant Marine Act of 1936, which created the Maritime Commission, and the adoption of a significant upgrade to SOLAS in 1948. It also led to federally mandated officer training requirements and eventually, to the establishment of the federal maritime academy at Kings Point, N.Y.
• The Torrey Canyon oil spill off French and Cornish coasts in 1967, which led to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships (MARPOL) in 1973, and is credited with moving the IMO into environmental and legal issues with the Civil Liability Convention of 1969. Activated in 1975, that policy was adopted to ensure that adequate compensation is available to victims of oil pollution resulting from maritime casualties involving oil-carrying ships, and places the liability for such damage on the owner of the polluting ship.
• The Amoco Cadiz tanker ran aground due to a steering gear failure on March 16, 1978, three miles from the coast of Brittany, France. It split in three before sinking, creating the largest oil spill of its kind in history to that date – 1.6 million barrels. Public outcry and political pressure resulted in significant updates to both MARPOL and SOLAS, and the addition of safety and pollution audits that led to in 1982 to the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (Paris MoU), which established Port State Control. The beauty of port state control is that it has enabled an international port inspection system that makes it impossible for non-compliant ships to hide. It also led to the International Convention on the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) in 1978.
• The Marine Electric, a retrofitted WWII rust bucket that sank in a storm off the Virginia coast in 1983 and led to what many historians say are some of the most important safety reforms in the second half of the 20th century. The disaster called out lax U.S. Coast Guard inspection polices, changed the face of the U.S. Merchant Marine by leading to the almost immediate scrapping of 70 similar WWII-era vessels, mandated survival suits and led to the creation of the U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmer Program.
• The capsizing of the Herald of Free Enterprise in 1987 minutes after leaving the harbor in Zeebrugge, Belgium. Incredibly, the bow door was left open, resulted in the loss of 193 out of the 539 passengers and crew. It also led to the adoption of the Guidelines on Management for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which was designed to prevent damage to life and the environment at sea, by requiring each vessel to have a working, audited, Safety Management System (SMS). It also required shipping companies to have a license to operate.
• The Exxon Valdez ecological disaster of 1989, which led to the first Port state establishment of policy with international repercussions - the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990 in the U.S., which mandated that all tankers entering U.S. waters be double hulled – a requirement that eventually became the rule internationally, especially following several oil spills in European waters. OPA greatly increased federal oversight of maritime oil transportation, toughened liability and provided greater environmental safeguards. It also put the spotlight on drug abuse in the merchant marine and led to related programs and reforms.
• The Argo Merchant: In December 1976, the Liberian flagged tanker ran aground in Nantucket, Mass., resulting in the worst U.S. oil spill (7.6 million gallons) up to that date. According the Coast Guard, the cause was the result of ineffective vessel navigation due to faulty gyrocompass, erratic RDF and human error in the ineffective use of standard and secondary navigation – exacerbated by a winter storm.
The spill led to the creation of the Port and Tanker Safety Act of 1978, which established vessel traffic services, provided for greater supervision and control of vessels in U.S. waters, and instituted an inspection program for tank vessels carrying oil and hazmat. It also helped lead to the development and adoption of MARPOL Annex 1, and led to a host of new CFR regulations in the U.S., including for radar requirements depth finders and required pre-arrival navigation tests.
• The SS Yarmouth Castle: The Panamanian-flagged, largely wood vessel caught fire on Nov. 13, 1965, and was quickly abandoned by most of her crew, resulting in 90 deaths. No alarm was sounded, no distress call sent out, nor did the sprinklers work, the windows open, nor were all the lifeboats accessible. Less than half were launchable and the master and crew were the first to abandon ship. It led to a major update of SOLAS, and a mandate that any vessel carrying 50 overnight passengers or more had to be built entirely of noncombustible materials or steel. Retroactive fire and safety amendments went into effect for all ships in 2010.
• The MS Estonia: The RoRo Ferry sank in heavy seas Sept. 28, 1994 in circumstances very similar to the Herald of Free Enterprise – in this case the bow door failed, letting in too much water, sinking the boat, and killing 852 people out of the 1,000 on board. To improve the survivability of ferries, it also led to changes in the design parameters so that ferries can take up to a half meter of water on the car deck before the ship starts to list.
Increasingly, there has been a growing focus on environmental issues, accelerating in the late 1970s and onward, as spills mounted, each seeming worse than the last. There was a palpable shift in focus to combating pollution, and providing adequate training and certification of crews. Even the oil companies got into the act, proactively launching spill response coalitions in both Europe (1985) and the U.S. (1990), to respond to catastrophes and providing training.
It all started with the Torrey Canyon. "In the same way the Titanic led to the development of safety regimes, the Torrey Canyon stimulated the development of international environmental regulations," said ICS' Bennett. The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is one of the earliest, and most influential international environmental safety convention. In the wake of the Torrey Canyon and other spills, it was designed to protect the marine environment with the hopeful goal of "completely" eliminating pollution by oil and other harmful substances, and by minimizing the accidental discharge, dumping or exhaust of oil and other substances.
To achieve its objectives, MARPOL provides a detailed set of regulations, covering issues from vessel construction and operation to the discharge of sewage and other substances via a set if six technical Annexes.
It was signed in 1973, but it took so long to get the necessary ratifications that the original set of protocols were merged with a 1978 update fueled by a number of accidents in 1976-1977. It finally became effective in 1983, 16 years after the outrage over Torrey Canyon. The international community has come around: o date 152 states, representing 99.2 percent of the world's shipping tonnage, have signed on.
Similarly, the Amoco Cadiz oil spill a decade later was "pretty monumental" on the pollution side of [regulations]," he added, noting that six annexes later, MARPOL today covers every form of pollution from tankers.
But the real game changer has been the fallout from the March 24, 1989, Exxon Valdez spill, which dumped 11 million gallons of oil into the pristine inlet, creating the country's worst ecological disaster until the Deep Water Horizon well blow out April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico.
The U.S. Coast Guard considers the Valdez to be one of the largest human-caused disasters and cites as contributing causes to the accident, ineffective lookout, poor navigational watchkeeping, inoperable radar, reduced manning, lack of shore side supervision and loss of situation awareness, among other things.
The U.S. responded with the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) 90, essentially the first time a Port State had acted on its own to create and enforce rule that would affect global shipping. OPA created a comprehensive program to address prevention, response, liability and compensation for oil pollution incidents within U.S. waters.
It set requirements for construction (double hulls), crew licensing and manning, created the national Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (up to $1B per spill incident), mandated contingency planning and the development of disaster response plans from tankers, ties driving records with mariner licenses and mandated post-casualty drug and alcohol tests. It also decreed that all tankers entering U.S. water after a certain date be double hulled.
"The whole world felt that change," said Bennett. And resisted at first. But a pile up of oil spills in European waters, particularly the Prestige and the Erika, brought an outraged EU in line with U.S. thinking quickly.
While not a perfect solution, the move to double hulls added to the level of environmental protection. "It's why the record of the industry is better than it was in 1990, never mind 1970. It's a combination of technological innovation and improved operating practices," Bennett said. Indeed, figures from multiple sources show a steady drop in oil spills.
U.S. regulators also boosted the oil company pollution compensation ceiling while making the cost of having an accident "so prohibitively expensive that the industry got seriously inventive to avoid this liability," said Bennett.
On the inspection front, the Marine Electric, and indirectly the SS Pendleton and SS Mercer, were game changers as well. All three were aging World WWII ships retrofitted to carry coal and other cargo. All three split in two, and sank. Eerily, the Pendleton and Mercer broke up almost simultaneously in almost the same spot off Cape Cod in November of 1952. With great difficulty and heroism, most of the crews were saved.
As an example of what the Coast Guard was letting slide by, Frump said that the cargo hatches for the Marine Electric were approved when it was in drydock – and the hatches were 200 miles away.
"It was that horrible and terrible." When the hatches did arrive, they had 200 holes patched with expoxy.
"You can't have planes falling out of the sky, but apparently, you can have ships breaking in two over a period of 40 years, before any serious action is taken," he said. Cusick's decision to speak up, coupled with a scathing report from the Coast Guard' s own investigatory board headed by Captain Domenic A. Calicchio, changed all that.
The Coast Guard was forced to reexamine and restructure its inspection policies and did an about face on WWII-era ships, establishing safety standards for older ships, essentially sending 70 of them to the scrap yard in short order.
The inability to extract the exhausted Marine Electric crew from the frigid waters by helicopter lead to the launch of the Coast Guard's elite helicopter rescue swimmer program in October 1984, whose motto is, "So that others may live." Despite the years of work often involved in getting a proposed safety change through the IMO process of member state committees and debate, IMO acceptance and individual government approvals, followed by typically phased-in enactment, the process works.
Figures from multiple sources, including the "Safety and Shipping 1912-2012" report from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, the International Union of Marine Insurance, and the 2012 report, "15 Years of Shipping Accidents : A Review for WWF," from Southampton Solent University, show that the incidence of Marine accidents is significantly down, and has been trending down for some time now.
Looking forward, and some might say, very much in a proactive sense, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTB) hopes to see a shift in focus to what it sees as more key to the future of marine safety - the human element.
Aging ships, bad weather, high seas traffic and runaway cargoes aside, it's estimated that 80-85% of all marine accidents can be traced back to human error.
And that is what many observers think the next generation of IMO protocols should target.
"I think some of the more recent accidents highlight arguable the more challenging element to address – the human element," said Tracy Murrell, NTBS director of marine safety.
"'Blame the captain and fire that person.' I always cringe when I see that, it's just the easy way out.
Seafarers want to do better; they don't want to go to work and cause accidents," says Tim Donney, global head, marine risk consulting, Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty.
The biggest change he's seen in 35 years of experience in global marine surveying and loss control is an evolution in how the industry approaches maritime safety. It's moving from engineering fixes to problems, to addressing the human factors, he says.
The following are the major international shipping conventions, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (and the International Labour Organization) concerning safety and pollution prevention. However, many other maritime instruments concerning more specific issues are also in force worldwide.
• SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974) lays down a comprehensive range of minimum standards for the safe construction of ships and the basic safety equipment (e.g. fire protection, navigation, lifesaving and radio) to be carried on board. SOLAS also requires regular ship surveys and the issue by flag states of certificates of compliance.
• MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973/1978) contains requirements to prevent pollution that may be caused both accidentally and in the course of routine operations. MARPOL concerns the prevention of pollution from oil, bulk chemicals, dangerous goods, sewage, garbage and atmospheric pollution, and includes provisions such as those which require certain oil tankers to have double hulls.
• COLREG (Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972) lays down the basic "rules of the road", such as rights of way and actions to avoid collisions.
• LOADLINE (International Convention on Loadlines, 1966) sets the minimum permissible free board, according to the season of the year and the ship's trading pattern.
• ISPS (The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, 2002) includes mandatory requirements to ensure ships and port facilities are secure at all stages during a voyage.
• ISM (The International Safety Management Code, 1993) effectively requires shipping companies to have a licence to operate. Companies and their ships must undergo regular audits to ensure that a safety management system is in place, including adequate procedures and lines of communication between ships and their managers ashore.
• STCW (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978/1995/2010) establishes uniform standards of competence for seafarers.
• ILO 147 (The ILO Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1976) requires national administrations to have effective legislation on labor issues such as hours of work, medical fitness and seafarers' working conditions. This was superseded by the ILO Maritime Labor Convention, 2006) which entered into force on 30 August 2013.

Cryotherapy treatments can help you recover from Injuries, pain management, skin rejuvenation, weight loss, premature ageing and sports performance.
Birmingham, United Kingdom, January 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Active Clinics recently introduced cryotherapy treatments to The Midlands in UK to help individuals with various skin problems look younger and achieve the flawless skin they have always wanted.
Cryotherapy is already popular among world famous sports personalities and Hollywood celebrities. The process uses extremely low temperatures to treat a wide range of symptoms like tissue damage, improve skin tone, reduce inflammation and signs of aging as well as boost cell rejuvenation. Active Clinics recently introduced the treatment in Birmingham, West Midlands to help all interested individuals experience the benefits of cryotherapy without having to travel far.
The clinic is located on one of the prominent streets in Birmingham, making it easier for everyone to access Active Clinics and get their desired treatment.
Active Clinics was built by a team of three individuals with extensive background and experience in beauty, IT and retail management. The clinic was introduced as part of their goal of providing residents in The Midlands with a place where they can avail affordable and high quality treatments that would improve their looks and confidence.
The clinic's cryotherapy treatment is not a full body chamber. Active Clinics uses a localised cryotherapy machine called Cryo Penguin to conduct their treatments. The process involves freezing living tissue by spraying a refrigerant onto the skin. This is a great way to penetrate the epidermis and dermis, the underlying skin structure, to freeze the lesion fast. By freezing living tissue, the water in the cells expands and bursts open. This destroys the cells and viruses in them. Cryotherapy can be used for treating warts, verrucas and other skin problems as well as for treating sports injuries.
Active Clinics also offers CryoFacial, nitrogen facial, wrinkle reduction, semi-permanent makeup, laser hair removal, teeth whitening, nail and hair treatments, cellulite reduction, Dr. Schrammek skin peel treatments, bum lift, sports recovery, breast lift, MicroBlading, fat reduction, stretch marks reduction and injury recovery. They can also help athletes improve their sports performance. Active Clinics offers free consultation and has a team of experts who are always available to provide interested individuals with proper guidance and advice regarding their beauty concerns.

Workforce Modernization: Tennessee's IT Reclassification Results in Operational Advancement, Improved Performance
Just over halfway through its five-year contract with a firm that specializes in training for management and IT professionals, the state's Office of Information Services is focusing on creating IT leaders and is seeing improved performance.
ORLANDO, Fla. — In mid-2013, Tennessee embarked on a journey — it had all of its IT personnel reapply for their jobs. The reason? To keep its employees and their skills up to date. And at the 2016 National Association of State Chief Information Officers' Annual Conference, Deputy CIO Stephanie Dedmon chatted with her peers about how Tennessee IT fared during the intense endeavor.
"We did a competitive procurement, and we had a vendor come in and do an assessment of all of our executive branch agencies to understand what some of their critical initiatives were, what their current skills were, what does their organization need to look like in the future, and what's the path to get there," Dedmon said. "That resulted in 24 different assessments, and some of our non-executive branch agencies have leveraged that contract to do assessments — our comptroller and secretary of state also took advantage of that."
In addition to taking critical initiatives and current skills in these agencies under consideration, she said the Office of Information Resources looked at salaries, which increased about 10 to 25 percent.
"That was part of modernizing our workforce, we needed to up our salaries and be more competitive with the marketplace," Dedmon added. "Obviously state government is probably never going to fully compete with the private sector, but we definitely feel like we made advancements there."
Learning Tree International won the state's competitive procurement, and Dedmon said the vendor and the state work as partners in developing operational advancement and improved performance for Tennessee's IT workforce.
"We're a little more than halfway into the five-year contract," she said, "and we've developed a full-circle training experience that is based on the new job classifications."
The vendor brought existing courseware and its own subject-matter experts, Dedmon added, and also was willing to customize existing training based on the state's subject-matter experts.
"We developed a full breadth of curriculum for all of our IT [staff]; we spend a little over $2 million a year over five years, so a little over a $10 million contract," she said. "We were able to achieve state funding to pay for this, and our pace in presenting our next-gen IT initiative was that we had a workforce that was really behind the times, we needed to retool our workforce — and this curriculum was all about success skills, not about making our nerds nerdier, this was about creating IT leaders."
And this, Dedmon said, is what makes the initiative very different than what's been done in the past. "This approach is based on adult learning and best practices, and provides accommodation both in class and online, and a number of support mechanisms have also been put in place."
Richard Spires, CEO of Learning Tree and former CIO of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the IRS, noted that not only does the IT agency have access to the workforce solution, but all state agencies do as well.
"We are probably halfway through this journey as far as this contract vehicle, but obviously it never stops in workforce development," he said. "When you look at the tactical things like pre- and post-results, assessments of someone's skills prior to taking course and someone's skills after taking that course, like 50 percent knowledge base in a particular area but then 75 percent after they've taken that course. It's a dramatic shift."
For CIOs, Spires added, "it's all about outcomes, delivering projects on time and on budget, and providing IT service management more effectively."
"These are the things that we're starting to work on with the state of Tennessee," he said. "What are the metrics that show that your investment in the IT workforce is actually helping you do more IT more effectively?"
Though no official metrics are in place yet, Dedmon noted that IT workers who have taken courses say that they're delivering more value based on the training and they're more effective in their jobs.
But what happens if you train someone and they leave? For Dedmon, the answer is another question: "What happens if you don't and they stay?"
This is really a statement that shows we need to invest in our workforce, she said. "We need to retain the really good people; we need to invest in them," she said. "And sometimes it's not about salary. This is about improving our workforce so we can deliver better service to our customers."
Still, skilled and valuable employees are a hot commodity, and the new generation of worker — the millennials — is often more interested in learning new things and having a variety of interesting experiences.
And that's something Maine CIO Jim Smith does. He said he gets the message out there that if you work for IT in the Pine Tree State, "We're going to give you some really interesting experiences."
That may keep talented and valuable workers around a little longer, but Spires noted that even then, "You just can't expect to hire these people now, especially millennials, and think you can keep them for 30 years. This is not a model of how they want to grow their careers. And to the extent you can provide different experiences, maybe they'll stay for a while, but to think they're going to stay 10 years, 15 years, that's not a realistic solution."
Looking at the public-sector cybersecurity workforce, CISOs also struggle with attracting and retaining talent, and are having to get creative. The 2016 cybersecurity report released Sept. 20 highlighted this talent crisis as one of the top two challenges CISOs face.
"CISOs are talking about using job stability, a challenging work environment and opportunity to serve and contribute to your state [as ways to attract talent]," said Deloitte Principal Srini Subramanian, adding that many millennials are looking for a role that will challenge them and where they feel like they can contribute.
Subramanian also questioned if there was potential in states training traditional IT staff in cybersecurity, something Indiana has a bit of experience with.
"When we post a security opening, a lot of our operation folks will come and apply," said Indiana CISO Tad Stahl. "It's a cherry-picking exercise; you have the opportunity to hire them, but it's tough on other parts of the enterprise."
Stahl also said the state has had a lot of success in finding future employees in less secure professions, like the contracting business, who are looking for stability, and in training interns up to become full-time employees.
In Washington, CISO Agnes Kirk said the state contends with the likes of Microsoft, Apple and other companies for tech and cyber talent, and can't compete on salary, so it has looked at other recruiting methods, including the potential that returning veterans hold.
"Microsoft is training returning veterans in cybersecurity and transitioning them into successful positions," she said, also mentioning that Holacracy, an organizational model that has no managers in the traditional sense and is being used in Washington Technology Solutions, can also better attract millennials.
And according to an IT study of high-tech jobs conducted by the state, jobs names that mean something can make a big difference, solidifying that the approach used in Tennessee was a solid move.
On the whole, though, recruiting and retaining IT and cyber workers is tough right now, Stahl said. "The environment is pretty good; people are feeling pretty secure compared to a few years ago."

You must put the source of document you used whenever you quote your thoughts on another person's work or finding. Citations give evidence for your opinions and insert integrity to your work by signifying that you have considered a variety of resources. Citing sources is standard practice in an academic work, and demonstrates that you are replying to this person, consenting with that person, and adding up something valuable of your own. You should consider documenting your sources as offering a track for your reader to pursue and observe the research you completed and find out what led you to your original contribution.
How to choose citation style?
The citation style you prefer will mainly be dependent on the discipline in which you're writing, and for most assignments, your teacher will allocate a style to you. Though, as you progress through your academic career, you may find more suppleness in preferring a style that works for you. It's always good to ensure with your teacher and classmates as to what style is appropriate.
How to Work on Referencing Styles?
APA is an author/date based style and here you have put main stress on the author and the date of a piece of work to exclusively classify it.
In MLA, you need to often apply it in the field related to arts and humanities. It is perhaps the most well known and used of all of the citation styles.
Harvardis very similar to APA and where APA is mainly used in the USA, Harvard referencing style is the most well used referencing style in the UK and Australia. This style is encouraged for use with the humanities field.
The Chicago is a referencing style which is very similar, just like Harvard and APA. You can use this style mainly for history and economics subjects.
How to include proper citation in your work?
<p >When you work on a project, it generally involves searching information, distribute and examining information, gathering information, and remodeling information. To include proper citation in your own project, it firmly requires keeping a trail of the resources that were used to assist your research project, sharing the information you took from other authors in a ethical way and recognizing the authors of the sources you used.

History buffs, educators, and even adventure-seekers love to discover unsung movers and shakers—especially stories that include elusive African American heroines whose lives and achievements have been largely ignored even though they have made an impact on society. Black Women Who Dared by Naomi M. Moyer is one of those books.
Black Women Who Dared tells the stories of ten African American heroines who lived (and in some cases, died) in absolute obscurity, but who impacted their communities and made a difference in world history.
There is Jackie Shane, a transgender woman who sang with the popular band Motley Crew, and who tackled sexuality, racism, and gender bias long before it became popular.
Then there is the story of Sheroma Hall, a Jamaican activist who settled in Canada and addressed issues like housing, police violence, education, and gender.
There is also the story of Mary Miles Bibb, a freeborn Quaker who married a refugee slave and became a teacher, abolitionist, and co-publisher of the newspaper, Voice of the Fugitive—the first black-owned newspaper in Canada.
Moyer's illustrations are a lovely blend of black-and-white pencil drawings set against splashes of color, which makes this book a keeper for collectors of books written by and for African Americans. However, it should be noted that the book is super-brief (only 24 pages), and there is no dialogue. Avid readers who love delving into the lives and minds of heroes and heroes may be disappointed when they discover that they never "hear" these women speaking about their adventures, beliefs and goals. Moyer simply "tells" everything about their lives, and readers do not discover anything on their own. It is understood that it may have been difficult to discover and document these women's actual words, but without dialogue—with only Ms. Moyer "telling" their stories and not "showing" who they were through dialogue, the book takes on a flat and somewhat monotonous tone.
That being said, this book can still serve as supplemental reading for both early elementary and upper elementary history classrooms. In addition, history buffs who love unsung heroes can always build on Moyer's initial research.

Barbara Engleder of Germany won gold in the closely fought women's 50 metre rifle three position event yesterday, her first medal in her fourth and probably last Olympic Games.
The 33-year-old army officer landed Germany their third gold of the day after a brace in rowing with a score of 458.6 points, .2 clear of Zhang with Du finishing with a score of 447.4.
The United States continued to add to their medal collection on Wednesday when two gold, three silver and one bronze gave Team USA 32 medals overall in the Olympics. Le Clos, who had edged past Phelps in the same event in the 2012 London Olympics by the slightest of margins, danced and shadow-boxed with Phelps sitting right next to him. Engleder, a sport soldier and mother of a young son, had no idea how close it was at the end. Zhang, 27, said she was really nervous in her first Olympic final. She followed that with a skipping, wind milling dance across the venue.
"That means so much to me because I'm quitting after that right now". She stopped shooting after the 2008 Games to have a family - she is married to Chinese pistol shooter Pang Wei - and said she was done after London, too.
In the women's all-around, Simone Biles is the favorite to win gold and Aly Raisman will be a medal contender.
Du Li, also representing China, was ahead of Zhang with one shot to go before the bronze medal exit. "This is my last Olympic Games and nearly the last competition to shoot", she said. "At least I have in Rio 2016 a silver and a bronze medal".

» Modeling
The goal of the Arctic LTER is to develop a predictive understanding of the responses of arctic landscapes to disturbance and climate change, using the concepts of biogeochemical and community openness for arctic terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and the landscape connectivity among these ecosystems. Our approach includes modeling to first compare and contrast among ecosystems with very different physical and biological properties. To do this comparison we selected general model structures (e.g., Jacobian matrix models) and similar model structures (e.g., MEL model and a developing aquatic version) to compare and contrast key aspects of openness and connectivity and their effects on responses to disturbance and climate change. The second objective is to model characteristics unique to the individual components of the landscape (e.g., hillslope hydrology, energetics and size dimorphism in fish) and address these unique aspects in their response to disturbance and climate change. Our long-term objective is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the biogeochemistry and the community ecology in a diverse arctic landscape, and to predict how these ecosystems will change in the face of climate warming and the resultant more frequent and punctuated disturbances (fire and thermokarst).
Model Descriptions:
Terrestrial biogeochemical model: The MEL model is the main tool of the Arctic LTER for synthesizing and predicting changes in terrestrial biogeochemistry and assessing the consequences of biogeochemical openness. The model couples ecosystem C, N, P, and water cycles and operates at a plot scale on a daily time step (Rastetter et al. 2013, Pearce et al. 2015).
Aquatic biogeochemical model: We are applying models that integrate stream uptake and metabolism based on concepts of nutrient uptake velocity and nutrient spiraling (Wollheim et al. 2006, 2008, Peterson et al. 2013, Hale et al. 2014, Peterson &Ver Hoef 2014) to arctic streams to examine openness and connectivity.
Hydro-biogeochemical connectivity model: A major goal of the proposal is to examine the biogeochemical connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This landscape-level connectivity is driven largely by hydrology. We are working with Bayani Cardenas (U. Texas) and Beth Neilson (Utah State) to develop a hillslope-riparian hydro chemical model that can link the terrestrial biogeochemical responses predicted by the MEL model to aquatic ecosystems (e.g., Merck et al. 2011, Merck & Neilson 2012).
General community model: To compare and contrast plant and animal communities in terrestrial, stream, and lake ecosystems, we will analyze Jacobian matrix models of food webs (e.g., Rooney et al. 2006); we have developed and tested these models with Toolik data (Ch.11 in Moore & de Ruiter 2012, Sistla et al. 2013). This approach melds empirical information into an abstract model structure that quantifies food web connections, feedback loops, and the effects of immigration and emigration in a way that can be compared across multiple, very different ecosystems (e.g., Rooney et al.2006).

Chelsea Piers 'wichcraft Closed Due to Health Violations [Updated]
By Lauren Elkies Schram	November 7, 2014 2:40 pm

The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene shut down sandwich chain 'wichcraft at Chelsea Piers yesterday, Commercial Observer has learned. [The eatery passed its reinspected on Nov. 10 and reopened, said Jeffrey Zurofsky, one of the partners of 'wichcraft.]
'wichcraft, located on the West Side Highway at Pier 62 and 12th Avenue, was hit with 46 violation points, 41 of which were deemed critical, during a routine annual health inspection.
"'wichcraft at Chelsea Piers was closed yesterday due to a public health hazard that could not be corrected at the time of the inspection," the Health Department said in an emailed statement. "In this case, they had a severe infestation of both mice and flies. They were also cited for operating with an expired permit and mildew in an ice machine. Once these violations have been corrected, they can request a reopening inspection."
Violations included 164 fresh mice excreta and 93 live fruit flies.
A hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 21 before the city's Health Tribunal.
The city subscribes to a restaurant rating system. A "C" is the grade awarded for 28 to 49 violation points out of 1,000, as Commercial Observer previously reported. A "B" is for 14 to 27 points and a "A" is for 1 to 13 points. Restaurants are closed when there's a public health hazard at the time of inspection, according to a Health Department spokesman.
'wichcraft, which serves breakfast items, sandwiches, soups, salads and pastries, has 14 other locations in Manhattan and one in San Francisco.
The Chelsea Piers location received an "A" rating on Nov. 11, 2013, according to DOH's website. This is the first time the Health Department has closed the eatery.
"We regret that we made an administrative error [with the permit] and we anticipate a reinspection on Monday and we will likely be open on Monday upon reinspection," Mr. Zurofskysaid.
Update: This story was edited to include a comment from one of the founders of 'wichcraft as well as the reopening date.

On 24 November 2017, Mexico's president, Enrique Peña Nieto, signed a decree creating Mexico's largest marine reserve to date, covering 150,000 square kilometres around the Revillagigedo Archipelago, a volcanic archipelago 240 miles southwest of the Baja Peninsula.
Inscribed as a World Heritage Site in July 2016, the Revillagigedo Archipelago was declared a national park of Mexico in November 2017. The presidential declaration bans fishing, mining, and tourism development in the reserve and on the islands, creating the largest no fishing area of North America.
The Revillagigedo Archipelago comprehends four islands – Clarión, Socorro, San Benedicto y Roca Partida – which are found at 540 Km from Los Cabos in Baja California Sur and at 890 Km from Manzanillo in Colima. Located in the convergence of two ocean currents, the area is a gigantic hub for open water and migratory species and is home to 233 species of plants and almost 750 species of animals such as whales, dolphins, sharks, sea turtles and fish including 26 species of endemic fish. It is also a wintering and calving area for the humpback whale. It will also help maintain the connectivity of the Pacific Ocean's ecosystems, including other protected areas in that extensive marine corridor, such as Clipperton Atoll, the Galapagos Islands and Cocos Island, in Costa Rica.
The area has suffered from industrial fishing, climate change and hurricanes affecting its wildlife. The complete elimination of fishing, mining and tourism activities is expected to help the area recover, while contributing towards climate change mitigation. "I want to make clear that we will protect Mexico's natural heritage. Fishing that is not sustainable, is not admissible" stated President Peña Nieto.
Revillagigedo is already listed on Protected Planet, the World Database on Protected Areas as a Biosphere Reserve, World Heritage site, and a Ramsar site.
Recently established large scale marine reserves include the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawaii (1,510,000 square kilometres) , the Antarctica's Ross Sea (965,606 square kilometres) and two new reserves in Chile the size of France.
Aichi Target 11 : By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascape.


Go back and read that first chapter again. As you do, be aware of a verse (or verses) or a phrase (phrases) that stand out to you. As you sit with that verse(s) or phrase(s), you may want to pull out your journal and jot down what it is about them that impacts you.
Now take a few minutes to go back through the passage again and as your read it, pay attention to a word (or words) that seem touch your heart. Take some time to sit quietly with that word(s). Have your journal handy in case you want to write out any thoughts or feelings that come to your mind.
As your time comes to a close, try to stay a few minutes longer in the silence and simply rest in His presence, before going out to meet the day.
