## Tensorboard

Each training run saves representation and gradient alignment measures as TF
summary scalars, these plots can be visualized in the Tensorboard tool as
follows.

```
tensorboard --logdir=/tmp/tensorflow/generalization
```

## Section 3 - Extreme memorization

We employ sin activation and initialize w_1 with random normal with varying
stddev - [0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0].

### Example command with stddev=0.001 on CIFAR-10 dataset.

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=sin \
--custom_init=true \
--stddev=0.001
```

## Section 4 - Why should the scaling affect homogeneous activations ?

Activation function is switched to ReLU and initialize w_1 with random normal
with varying stddev - [0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0].

### Example command with stddev=0.001 on CIFAR-10 dataset

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=relu \
--custom_init=true \
--stddev=0.001
```

### Example command with stddev=0.001 on CIFAR-10 dataset with *hinge loss*

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=relu \
--custom_init=true \
--loss_function=hinge \
--stddev=0.001
```

### Example command with stddev=0.001 on CIFAR-10 dataset with *squared loss*

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=relu \
--custom_init=true \
--loss_function=l2 \
--stddev=0.001
```

## Section 5 - Is alignment relevant more broadly?

Activation function is switched to ReLU and all variables are initialized using
glorot uniform initializer.

### Train 2-layer MLP on CIFAR-10 dataset

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=relu
```

### Train 2-layer MLP on CIFAR-10 dataset with *shuffled labels*

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \
--activation=relu \
--shuffled_labels=true
```

### Train ConvNet on CIFAR-10 dataset

```
python -m extreme_memorization.train \
--train_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-train* \
--test_input_files=/tmp/cifar10/image_cifar10_fingerprint-dev* \

Dogcat250
NEW YORK -- Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome has galloped his usual 2 miles at Belmont Park, and new horses are lining up to challenge his Triple Crown bid in the Belmont Stakes. Assistant trainer Alan Sherman says the chestnut colt looked strong on Wednesday. California Chrome will try to become racings first Triple Crown winner in 36 years when he runs in the Belmont on June 7. The field for the 1 1/2-mile race has added three horses: Matterhorn, Matuszak and Medal Count, who was eighth in the Derby. Matterhorn and Matuszak are newcomers to the Triple Crown trail. Other probables are Derby runner-up Commanding Curve, Commissioner, Preakness runner-up Ride On Curlin, Samraat, Tonalist, and Wicked Strong, who was fourth in the Derby. Kid Cruz, eighth in the Preakness, is a possibility. Samraat was fifth in the Derby, while Commissioner and Tonalist are newcomers to the Triple Crown races. Sherman says it will be a tough race, but thinks if California Chrome runs his usual race the colt will win. California Chrome is scheduled for his only official workout before the Belmont on Saturday, with jockey Victor Espinoza coming in from Southern California. Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys .

HEROES P.K. Subban – Scored the overtime winner and assisted on Montreal's earlier goal, both on the power play, in a 2-1 win over Nashville.VANCOUVER -- The B.C. Lions made a tough decision to part ways with Geroy Simon prior to last season. When the 38-year-old retired earlier this month, it was an easy call to honour the CFLs all-time leading receiver as soon as possible. The Lions announced before Fridays 37-13 pre-season victory over the Calgary Stampeders that Simon will have his No. 81 added to B.C. Place Stadiums Ring of Honour this summer. "Its something thats very special and I appreciate it," said Simon. "This was home for a long time and its a place where I feel real comfortable so Im really happy and really honoured for the recognition." But while Simon is more than deserving, the speed at which it has come about is a bit of a surprise. B.C. traded Simon to the Saskatchewan Roughriders when it was decided his role would change with the Lions for the 2013 season. He went on to have modest numbers during the regular season with the Riders, but scored two touchdowns in the clubs Grey Cup victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Simon had indicated that he wanted to play one more season with either the Lions or Riders in 2014, but wasnt able to agree to terms with either club. "That was the plan but it just didnt work out," said Simon, who won the Grey Cup with the Lions in 2006 and 2011. "I wanted to play but I also didnt want to play anywhere else other than B.C. or Saskatchewan. I made that quite clear. When the decision was made that I wasnt going to come here I just said Im going to retire and move on." The Johnstown, Pa., native added that he doesnt hold any animosity towards the Lions for what transpired the last two off-seasons. "I think that takes more effort to be mad and hold a grudge," said Simon. "I move on. Im looking forward to my next career and Im happy with my decision and whatever else happens." Lions general manager and vice-president of football operations Wally Buono -- who made the call not to bring Simon back as a player -- said honouring him was "a no brainer." "I want to thank Geroy for making this happen because he could have been difficult to deal with," said Buono. "He was, as he always is, a great pro, a great human being." Now working as a scout for Saskatchewan, Simon was taken aback that his former club would reach out so quickly and honour him on July 25 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, coincidentally the team that gave him his start in the CFL. "It was totally unexpected. I didnt expect it," he said. "I was shocked but happy and pleased with the organization." On the field Friday, Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn finished 17 of 21 for 173 yards and a touchdown as he continues to look like the favourite to start the clubs opener on June 28 against the Edmonton Eskimos. No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay did not take a snap in the pre-season as he continues to recover from off-season shoulder surgery. Stefan Logan returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter as B.C. jumped out to an 18-0 lead after just 15 minutes, but Calgary quarterback Drew Tate led his team back in the second quarter to trail 21-13 at the break Lions rookie defensive back T.ddddddddddddJ. Lee had two interceptions -- including one that he returned 15 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the game out of reach at 31-13 -- while linebacker Solomon Elimimian added two interceptions of his own. In a battle to make the team, Lee made quite an impression in his final audition. "I just appreciate the opportunity of playing this game," said Lee, who could have had four interceptions on the night. "Im grateful." Lions head coach Mike Benevides, whose team will host this years Grey Cup game, definitely took notice. "I know theres going to be tough decisions," he said. "The process today was really good for us. Fast, aggressive defence." Tate -- who threw a TD -- and fellow Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell were both picked off twice, while reigning CFL most outstanding player Jon Cornish rushed for 33 yards on five carries early on before spending the rest of the night as a spectator. Prior to the game, Buono said there was nothing awkward when the Lions approached Simon about honouring his number, even though they dealt him prior to last season and declined to bring him back in 2014. "Its business. Nothing was done on a personal level. When you ask me who one of my all-time favourite players is, Im going to say Geroy," said Buono. "He was a tremendous warrior for us, a tremendous ambassador in the community. "It was tough last year. It was tough to cross that bridge that we had to separate with Geroy. It was tough to know that we were going to line up without Geroy." Simon had 1,029 career catches for 16,352 yards and 103 touchdowns with Winnipeg (1999-2000), B.C. (2001-2012) and Saskatchewan (2013). He was the CFLs most outstanding player in 2006 with 105 catches for 1,856 yards and 15 touchdowns, capping that campaign with his first of three Grey Cup titles. Buono, who coached Simon with B.C. during his prime, said he never changed who he was on or off the field. "He responded well to the challenges. The thing about players is you want them to be able to withstand the expectation and the pressure," he said. "When youre the No. 1 receiver year in and year out, theres a tremendous price to pay because everybodys on you, everybodys after you, defences are made to stop you but Geroy overcame all that. "He was always a guy that worked hard, was very humble, was great in the locker-room and was a superstar in the community." Simon said he now wants to build his front-office resume in hopes of one day running a CFL team. "In 10 years I see myself as being a GM or an president of an organization," he said. "I want to be running the show somewhere. "Im not done (winning Grey Cups). Im going to win a few more." Notes: Fridays attendance at B.C. Place was 26,445. ... The Stampeders open the regular season June 28 at home against the Montreal Alouettes. ... Tate finished 6 of 12 passing for 86 yards, while Mitchell completed 10 of 20 passes for 100 yards.

Perspex shields divide the tables inside the dining hall tucked deep in the heart of the Tokyo Olympic Games village. A shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes taking athletes and coaches from their accommodation to training and competition venues. Long before Australia's gold medal hopefuls get the key to a room and set down their bags, they must wait at the airport for a COVID-19 test result. Daily swab tests will follow. Welcome to the Tokyo Olympics, the Games like we've never seen them before, and one would hope like we'll never see them again. "It's only because they're different that the Games can happen," Australian Olympic team chef de mission Ian Chesterman said. MORE SPORT "You couldn't run a normal Games with the normal level of social interaction, normal level of extra activities, in the midst of a global pandemic. "Because the Games are being organised clearly with the goal of ensuring athlete and participant safety, the Games can be run." The world's largest sporting event is expected to bring more than 11,000 athletes from an expected 205 countries together from July 23 to August 8 in the midst of a global pandemic. Couple that with reports an estimated 79,000 people - including Olympic officials, support staff and journalists - will descend on the Games, and one is presented with a logistical nightmare. The Australian team will send almost 480 athletes among a total cohort of about 850 people, so how will they pull it off? Charter flights, masks, hand sanitiser, shipping containers and athletes on a hit and run mission. "It's a massive logistical exercise to take a team away. We'll have one of the five biggest teams of any nation at these Olympic Games," Chesterman said. "It's a massive logistical exercise to get all of those people over there in the midst of a global pandemic, and also just to get all of the equipment and supplies we need to operate effectively over in Tokyo. "A hell of a lot of stuff has to go over, everything from horses to rowing boats, canoes, kayaks. "There's a lot of teams with a lot of equipment that has to be taken over. That happens at every Olympic Games. "Obviously as an Australian Olympic team, we take a lot of supplies as well, equipment and food services we need to be able to provide to the athletes within our allotment. "We've had to supplement what commercial flights are available with four charter flights. We've got one charter taking athletes from Australia to Japan, and the rest will be travelling on commercial flights. "On the way back we have three charters supplementing what's available through commercial programs as well." Australian athletes can arrive in the Tokyo bubble five days before they compete and must be on a flight home within 48 hours of their competition finishing. So it is far from the Games many grow up dreaming off, and vastly different to those some have experienced before. It may not seem too different for the punter watching from their living room. After all, Australian sports fans have grown accustomed to watching matches without big crowds over the past 13 months. Yet for the athletes and staff like Australian Opals assistant coach Paul Goriss, things will "definitely be different". Goriss, who doubles as two-time WNBL championship-winning coach of the Canberra Capitals, will stay outside the village due to a surplus in numbers. It presents another headache for officials, and another reason for daily COVID-19 tests for everyone inside the Olympic bubble - whether they're staying in the village or not. "There's numbers capped in the village because of social distancing and the amount of numbers to a room," Goriss said. "I know for the Opals and Boomers at least, every athlete has their own room. Obviously that has put a premium on the rooms. There's two overflow hotels for Australia. "It's all new for me as well, so I'm just trying to get my head around when we get there trying to find where everything is. "You're not allowed to be going out to a shopping mall or a restaurant or a cafe. It's purely going from practice and games back to the village or your hotel, and that's about it. It's just to minimise the risk involved in being out and about." Many Australian team members will miss the opening ceremony given they are not allowed to arrive in Japan more than five days prior to competition. "What's really important is yes, the Games are different, but the athletes have embraced that," Chesterman said. "For many of our athletes, they would have spent many times struggling with the prospect of the Games not going ahead. "It certainly has lived in the hearts and minds of many, and it's very difficult to keep pursuing that dream if you're not sure it's there.

NC charter school changes approved by Senate panel
By: The Associated Press	February 16, 2011
RALEIGH — North Carolina's current 100-charter school limit would end in a measure that cleared a Senate committee today, despite complaints by Democrats and traditional school supporters it lacks enough accountability to ensure opportunity for at-risk students to attend.
A divided Senate education committee approved the rewrite of the charter school law first approved in the mid-1990s, when the 100-charter cap was created. Charter school boosters have tried seemingly ever since to raise or eliminate the cap, but the Democratic-controlled Legislature has declined to do so.
The Republican takeover of the Legislature has made eliminating the cap — part the GOP's campaign platform — very likely.
"We haven't lost sight of that goal," said Sen. Richard Stevens, R-Wake, the chief sponsor of the bill, which now heads to the full Senate.
The bill goes further, creating a new 11-member North Carolina Public Charter Schools Commission that would approve charter application and revoke charters for poorly performing or managed schools and set other rules. Responding to arguments earlier this month that creating a separate commission was unconstitutional, today's measure would place the commission under the State Board of Education. The board also could overturn the charter school panel decisions with a three-fourths majority.
Charter schools have open enrollment and don't charge tuition. They are operated by private boards and exempt from many rules imposed on traditional public schools.
The measure leaves in place a requirement in state law that a charter school's population reasonably reflect an area's racial and ethnic composition. Many schools, however, have decided to emphasize targeting certain at-risk populations, which sometimes create disproportionate school populations.
The committee defeated an amendment by Sen. Malcolm Graham, D-Mecklenburg, that would have required future charter schools to provide transportation and food for students in low-income families, which is now optional but is required by traditional public schools. Charter schools that didn't meet the racial and ethnic requirements would have been required to propose a plan to reach those goals.
"My goal and objective is to create a solid foundation where these school can work in conjunction with the public schools so that it opens it up for everyone," Graham said.
Stevens said some charter schools are unable to provide breakfast or lunch for students because they lack buildings to offer them, so providing them should be optional. As for racial diversity, charter school supporters point out enrollment in the 99 current charter schools are voluntary and often decided through random drawings. Graham's amendment also would have weighted such lotteries toward at-risk students.
Darrin Hartness, superintendent of Mount Airy City Schools, cautioned senators against failing to provide enough accountability in the legislation so that charter schools are closely monitored.
"This is important to ensure that charter schools are free public schools and they are truly open to all students, regardless of their race, their socio-economic status or their disability, just as the traditional public schools," he said. But eliminating the cap will help do just that by removing more than 20,000 families on waiting lists for current charters, according to charter school advocates.
"It is simply about what is in the best interests of all public schools in North Carolina," said Michael Pratt, headmaster of Rocky Mount Preparatory Academy, a 1,000-student charter school, of which 60 percent of the students are black. He said the school has a 100 percent college acceptance rate to two- and four-year schools.
"A quality education for all of the public school children in North Carolina is the civil rights issue of the 21st century," he said.
The North Carolina Association of Educators, a longtime opponent of raising the cap, said recently it wouldn't oppose lifting it. But the teachers' group is opposed to today's measure, association lobbyist Brian Lewis said.
Stevens disagreed with complaints by Lewis and Democratic senators that the bill was moving too fast, saying he's been waiting for years to get legislation considered.
"It's time," Stevens said. "This bill still has a way to go."

Initial Thoughts on Mayor Bowser's Proposed FY16 Budget
On April 2, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser released her proposed FY16 budget. As with any budget, there are a lot of proposals that I could highlight. I've chosen to focus on three items of particular interest to Hill East:
Replacement of DC General
The Mayor's proposed budget includes $40 million to fund 4 smaller scale homeless shelters to replace the deteriorating DC General shelter. After years of rhetoric about the need to close DC General, it is refreshing to see some actual funding in the budget to achieve this goal. While we still need to see her closure plan, Mayor Bowser deserves credit for making the closing of DC General the budget priority it should be.
Infrastructure Funding for Reservation 13/Hill East Development
I was also happy to see $11.2 million in the Mayor's proposed capital budget for infrastructure funding for phase I of the Res. 13/Hill East Development. The 11.2 million, which would be spent over 3 years, would be used to fund the roadway extensions (Mass Ave SE, the new 20th Street SE, etc.) surrounding the Donatelli/Blue Skye mixed-use development.
School Modernizations
While the Mayor's FY16 capital budget includes funding for the modernization of Watkins Elementary School (30.9 million in FY16 and FY17), the budget plan further delays modernization funding for a number of other Capitol Hill schools. Long overdue modernizations at Eliot-Hine and Jefferson Academy Middle Schools are delayed until FY19. These delays are totally unacceptable, particularly in a budget document that claims to make strengthening middle schools a priority. (Councilmember David Grosso's office has put together a nice breakdown of how the Mayor's budget will affect school modernizations).
Look, I understand that budgeting is not easy, particularly when the city has to fill a budget gap. And DC has limited borrowing authority and must stay under a statutory debt cap. This means that Mayor Bowser and the Council have to make tough choices. I get it.
But it is hard to accept further delays to school modernizations when the same capital budget includes $106 million in new capital funding (all borrowed) for the DC United Stadium at Buzzard Point – a stadium that the DC Council's own independent consultant estimated would provide only $40 million in benefits (and is going to eventually cost taxpayers a lot more than $106 million). So the Mayor and the Council (OK, the previous Council) have essentially prioritized a giveaway to a professional soccer team over better (and safer) school buildings. This cannot be labeled a tough choice. This can only be described as a really, really bad decision.
So while I give Mayor Bowser credit for her proposed investments in new shelters, affordable housing and Reservation 13, she also deserves criticism for supporting a soccer stadium that is taking capital dollars away from school modernizations. Hopefully, the Mayor and Council will work to restore some of this funding during consideration of the budget in April and May.

More Information on the DC Olympic Bid
On Dec. 16, Washington 2024, the organization leading the city's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, will make their final presentation to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). Washington 2024 is competing against Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco to be the U.S. bid city for the 2024 Games.
So far, Washington 2024 has refused to share their plans with the public. In attempt to learn more about the bid's potential impact on Hill East, ANC 6B sent a letter (pdf) last month to Washington 2024 requesting a community meeting prior to the USOC's final decision on a U.S. bid city. Unfortunately, Washington 2024 declined ANC 6B's meeting request (pdf). They plan to start their community engagement process when/if Washington, DC is selected as the U.S. bid city.
While Washington 2024 declined ANC 6B's invitation for a meeting, the organization did accept an invitation to speak at Councilmember Vincent Orange's Small Business and Economic Development Summit held on Fri., Dec. 12. Since we can't get a meeting with Washington 2024 in Hill East, I decided to attend the summit to learn more about the bid. Here is what I heard:
The USOC's decision on a U.S. bid city could come as early as next week or as late as next January. If Washington, DC is selected, the USOC and city will have until Sept. 2015 to formally apply to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the 2024 games. The IOC will make its final decision on a host city in Sept. 2017.
Not surprisingly, Washington 2024 did not share the specific plans they will be presenting to the USOC. I'm not sure if the decision to keep the public in the dark about the plans is being made by Washington 2024 or the USOC but it is a bad decision. Putting on an Olympics requires a multi-billion dollar public investment. The secretive nature of the process has helped fuel skepticism about the bids in Washington and the other three potential bid cities.
RFK Stadium and Reservation 13 are under consideration for a new Olympic Stadium and Olympic Village respectively, though other sites are also being considered for these venues.
Robert Sweeney, senior advisor to Washington 2024, noted that the Olympics could be a catalyst to develop sites like Reservation 13 where redevelopment plans largely have failed to take off. I responded that the city is largely to blame for the state of Reservation 13 today and that it shouldn't take the Olympics to develop a waterfront site sitting on top of a Metro station.
Sweeney did mention the Reservation 13 master plan and said that Washington 2024 would follow the plan in developing an Olympic Village if the site is chosen for such a use. I was pleasantly surprised that the organization was aware of the master plan and had thought about how to incorporate it. However, using the site for an Olympic Village would mean the city wouldn't see the housing and retail slated for Reservation 13 until 2025 at the earliest.
Sweeney reaffirmed that Washington 2024 would begin an "extensive" community outreach campaign beginning in Jan./Feb. 2015 if the city is chosen as the U.S. bid city. Community briefings would be held in all eight wards and he recommitted to holding a community meeting in Hill East.
There was a lot of focus on the legacy of an Olympic Games. Andrew Altman, former head of the legacy corporation created for the London 2012 games (and former head of the DC Office of Planning) talked about how London began their Olympic planning by envisioning what the Olympic park and venues would look like in 2030. Washington 2024 is modeling their effort after the London games.
In addition to Councilmember Orange, Mayor-Elect Muriel Bowser spoke at the Summit in support of the Olympic bid and will be attending the Dec.16 USOC presentation. It appears that the Mayor, Mayor-Elect and DC Council are all behind the bid though they haven't held a single hearing on the subject nor officially voted to support the bid. If Washington, DC is awarded the games, the city will have to sign a financial guarantee to fully fund the games and any cost overruns.
Community engagement should be the centerpiece – not an afterthought – of an Olympic bid. Residents shouldn't have to attend business roundtables and summits to learn basic details. I plan to continue pushing city leaders and Washington 2024 to share more information about the bid.

Hill East Task Force Recap: DC General Closure Plan, Eastern Branch Bldg RFP
Around 25 people attended the Oct. 30 ANC 6B Hill East Task Force meeting to discuss Mayor Gray's DC General Shelter replacement plan and the status of the Eastern Branch Building Request for Proposals. Here is a recap:
I opened the meeting with a quick update on the status of Phase I of the Hill East Development (Reservation 13). The Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development's office held an Oct. 29 disposition meeting on parcels F1 & G1. Attendees at the meeting spoke in support of the disposition and urged DMPED to get disposition legislation in front of the DC Council as soon as possible. ANC 6B and the Hill East Task Force will continue to monitor progress on Phase I.
The task force discussed Mayor Gray's plan to close the temporary family emergency homeless shelter at DC General. I provided a brief summary of the plan which was released by Mayor Gray on Oct. 14. ANC 6B is on record in support of closing the shelter at DC General and has urged the city to identify better housing alternatives for homeless families.
Generally, the plan calls for replacing the 288 units in DC General with 5-6 smaller scale, neighborhood-based shelters throughout the city. The Department of General Services and the Department of Human Services are working to identify privately-owned buildings and city-owned buildings that could be quickly converted into shelters. If efforts are successful, DC General could be closed as early as fall 2015.
Though pleased that the Mayor released a plan, the task force agreed that the plan is very vague. Concerns raised about the plan included:
Open-ended Solicitation for Offers – the Department of General Services has issued a Solicitation for Offers seeking privately owned facilities that could be used as shelters. The SFO is a "rolling solicitation" without a deadline. The task force is concerned that the lack of a deadline will remove the time pressure necessary to encourage developers/owners to respond to the SFO.
Lack of Potential Locations – the plan is silent on potential locations for the smaller-scale shelters. The task force would feel better about the plan's prospects if at least one or two potential locations were identified.
Lack of a Specific Closing Date – while the plan states that DC General could close as early as the fall of 2015, the Administration does not identify a specific closing date. Again, the lack of a closing date contributes to the sense that there is a lack of urgency to close DC General.
Recent Increase in DC General Population – if the goal is to close DC General, why is the city continuing to move more families into the deteriorating building. Recently, 60 families were moved from hotels into DC General. The city should be working to reduce the population at the shelter so it can be closed.
The task force also discussed potential drug activity at DC General. Resident Member Pat Taylor said that she had recently seen evidence of a significant open air drug market taking place outside of the shelter next to the new playground. Attendees suggested working with MPD, DGS Protective Services, CSOSA and the DC Department of Corrections to address these issues on the site.
The task force agreed that ANC 6B should send formal comments on the plan to Mayor Gray. Flahaven offered to write draft comments to be reviewed by the task force and then forwarded to the full commission for Nov. 12 consideration.
The task force transitioned to discussing the current Request for Proposals for the Eastern Branch Building, the former Boys and Girls Club building located at 261 17th Street SE. DGS released the RFP in mid-September with a deadline of Friday, November 20.
Organizations/development teams who plan on responding to the RFP were invited to share their concepts with attendees. The following three representatives shared their concepts:
Corey Powell of Dantes Partners shared his firm's concept for a senior housing facility combined with first floor community space. The preliminary concept includes adding a two-story addition to the existing building, with a total capacity of 49-units.
Joel Kelty of Century Associates shared his firm's concept also includes senior housing but without additional stories (Kelty suggested that an existing cell tower lease may make building any rooftop additions impossible). Century Associates envisions 24-30 larger residential units with a children's activity space in the existing building's gymnasium.
Mai Fernandez, a Capitol Hill resident and executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime, envisions using the existing building for 39-units of senior housing and office space for her NCVC. Training space for NCVC could also be used by the community for meetings and recreation. She is seeking a development partner for the residential side of the project.
Attendees asked each representative a number of questions, including whether their concepts would be consistent with the site's R-4 zoning and whether they planned to use tax credits to fund the housing portion of their projects. HillNow.com has an excellent recap of this portion of the meeting.
The task force thanked Ms. Fernandez, Mr. Powell and Mr. Kelty for their presentations and reminded attendees that ANC 6B would have an opportunity to review and comment on RFP responses.
The meeting adjourned at 7:50 pm so that attendees could individually ask questions of the three developer/organization representatives.

Ruling the Rules
Those of you who happen to have a copy of OVA's first edition might remember its afterword, wherein I described my early adventures in RPG design and an epiphany concerning how to make OVA not only better, but different from any RPG that had come before: by dropping hard-coded stats from the game.
But it wasn't the first RPG to do that. Not quite anyway. I'd later discover that characters being made up of customizable traits instead of a preset array of attributes had been done by Ross's RISUS and before that by Tweet's Over the Edge. They're not quite the same of course—OVA goes so far as to define a vast collection of its Abilities and Weaknesses (making up the longest chapter in the book), while both of the aforementioned titles are far more freeform affairs.
But even so, it was a big step for quote-unquote anime RPGs, and considering how grounded I was in the RPGs of the 80s and 90s, it was still a big step for me. When I approached the new revised edition of my game I wanted to do my best to keep my eyes open for similar evolutions in its design.
Something that was important to me in the original OVA was not to punish players for being "cool." My favorite example of this is the protagonist of Cowboy Bebop, Spike Spiegel. Again and again throughout the series, Spike is shown to be a skilled martial artist and marksman. This is a build that simply doesn't work in many RPGs because it requires putting points into two usually separate skills, hand-to-hand and guns. What little versatility is offered by training in both is quickly overshadowed by the limited resource of build points—a character can only be half as good in two areas as they could be in one.
But Spike isn't just sort of good at both, he's great. And if you couldn't create Spike with ease in OVA, then that's as much of a litmus test as anything. With that in mind, I condensed every combat skill into an Ability called, well, Combat Skill. With one attribute, your character was adept at attacking, whatever form that takes. Sure, it flies in the face of most RPG design that routinely compartmentalize such things, but it just made things so much easier. You could still just do one thing, of course, but if you ever wanted to branch out, you weren't punished for it.
But the original OVA still didn't eliminate the issue. While your ability to hit your opponent was sufficiently simplified, there were still several Abilities to cover actually doing damage. Martial Arts increased damage barehanded, Weapon gave you a weapon, and Power Move let you create a suite of special attacks that dealt even more damage but burned Endurance. It's a system that worked, but you were still faced with paying more points to build Spike. You had to buy Martial Arts and Weapon—and arguably Power Move to boot.
So I made the single most drastic change between the editions of OVA, I condensed all the damage-increasing Abilities into one called Attack, just as I had with Combat Skill years before. While this did solve the Spike Spiegel issue deftly, probably the biggest boon from this was that it rolled the idea behind Power Move into an Ability that allowed every character to create a suite of attack moves. Whereas before it was limited to flashy energy blasts and the like, now every strike could be its own separate technique. Samurais could swap between offensive styles, ninjas could throw in a sweep kick in their repertoire, and, yes, Spike could mix up gunplay and really swanky fisticuffs. It's a system that just works for recreating the cinematic style of combat. Moreover, because all Attack represented was your capacity to dish out damage, characters could literally describe these attacks as anything they want at any time. Want to smash a chair over an opponent's head or stomp a loose plank into their groin? Use your Attack level without worrying about calculating the actual damage of these impromptu weapons. Characters do this all the time in action anime, but it's typically very hard to recreate in an RPG. No longer!
While this was easily the most gratifying change to OVA, there's a vast variety of additions and improvements that I'm also fond of. The original game's "knockback" was split into three separate combat complications, giving more tactical options to the otherwise streamlined rules. Looking at these, I realized that I could take the same concept and apply them outside of combat, and Succeeding with Complications was born. While I won't be foolhardy enough to claim this is an entirely new idea (Fate, if nothing else, pushes the "fail forward" concept hard), I'm really please with how neatly it fits into OVA and brings combat and out-of-combat closer together thematically.
Scale was another useful addition, making it really simple to represent vast differences in ability. Need to have a mecha and a battleship go toe-to-toe? You can do that. How about a plucky Pokémon trainer and a tank? Sure, why not. The bout between mere martial artist and a Super-Saiyan martial artist? Faster than you can say, " His power level is over NINE-THOUSAAAAND!" It's all represented by a +5 bonus, and it just makes what can be really difficult in other RPGs quick and fun.
Besides that, I focused on consistency, consistency, consistency. Whenever a rule didn't have a compelling reason to behave differently than other rules, I changed it so that it no longer did. Not only does this make concepts easier to remember, it creates a reliable foundation for hacking the system to do new things. (This happens a lot over at the Wise Turtle Forums.)
And that's it for three-part my retrospective of OVA! How about you, readers? Do you have a particular favorite addition to the revised game? Or perhaps you remember a houserule for another RPG that you thought was really novel? Let me know in the comments!

Hey, Clay.
I've just bought OVA 2e. What a fantastic product! I was looking for something easy and light that I could play with my nephews and nieces, to get them into role-playing games. I was going to dig out my Teenagers From Outer Space 1e, but then I found this product. I was simply blown away with the rules and production quality. You make excellent RPG's, my good sir!
Reply	claytheturtle September 7, 2017 at 8:29 am
I'm so glad you're enjoying the game! Part of my goal with OVA was to make it have a lot of interesting choices but still be simple enough to make sense to non-gamers (old and young alike.) Of course Teenagers from Outer Space is a great game too and definitely ahead of its time. If you have any questions about OVA, feel free to email me or drop by the Wise Turtle forums over at wiseturtle.com!

The Montenegrin Mountain Hound () is a rare dog breed from the mountain regions across the Balkans. Black and tan, with a smooth coat, the Montenegrin Mountain Hound was called Black Hound in the past. The breed is of the same origin as the other Balkan hounds. It stands  high and weighs . The breed is used to hunt fox, hare, and small game, occasionally hunting larger animals such as deer or even wild boar.

The breed was formerly known as the Yugoslavian Mountain Hound (); the FCI changed the name on July 15, 1997. The first standard dates back to 1924. The breed bears strong resemblance to the Austrian Black and Tan Hound. The breed was first officially recognized on May 8, 1969, in Warsaw. American Rare Breed Association considers the breed endangered.

Perhaps the most memorable popular depiction of the Montenegrin Mountain Hound (then called Yugoslavian Mountain Hound) had been as the hand puppet "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog", regularly appearing on the NBC television show Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Although the puppet displays physical characteristics of the breed, and was identified as such during many appearances, the caption identifying Triumph as a Yugoslavian Mountain Hound was promptly removed after NATO military attack ensued against FR Yugoslavia.

CWRS delivers ergonomic assessments, ergonomic training, and manual handling training to business and employers in Maroochydore, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and north to Gympie, Maryborough and Bundaberg.
Poor ergonomic practices or workstation set-up can play a significant role in the development of many preventable musculoskeletal disorders including neck and back pain, shoulder and arm pain, headaches, or occupational overuse syndrome (previously known as RSI). Many of these injuries are avoidable by implementing correct ergonomics within the workplace.
An ergonomic assessment (also known as a workstation assessment) involves analysing a person's workstation to ensure that it is ergonomically designed to suit the individual, thereby reducing their risk of injury. The Occupational Therapist will attend the nominated office and provide advice in relation to an individual's physical suitability in relation to the size and adjustability of their office chair, desk, keyboard, mouse, monitor or laptop and other organisational equipment.
In formulating recommendations, the CWRS Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist will take into consideration the individual's posture, physical and muscular demands, environmental factors (lighting, noise and temperature), work demands (repetition and pace of work) and the specifics of any reported injury.
An ergonomic assessment usually takes around 15-30 minutes per person and can be arranged as a consultancy for multiple employees.

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 5, 2005 --Over four decades after her landmark live album, "In Concert," Joan Baez returns with "Bowery Songs" -- a new live album that captures her November 6, 2004 performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. USA Today has called Baez "the matriarch of modern folk music" and "Bowery Songs" celebrates her career and legacy with both classic and previously unreleased material. KOCH Records will release "Bowery Songs" on September 6.
"Bowery Songs" features four previously unrecorded songs: Bob Dylan's "Seven Curses," Steve Earle's "Jerusalem," the hymn-like "Finlandia," and the traditional "Dink's Song." Baez is supported on the album by her recent touring band, George Javori, Duke McVinnie, Erik Della Penna and Graham Maby. The Washington Post recently said of Baez's live performances, "... still familiar after decades... she commanded newer compositions with grace and agility."
In 2004, Baez released her first new album in 6 years, "Dark Chords on a Big Guitar" (KOCH Records) to critical acclaim. The Wall Street Journal said of the album, "... brings an almost conversational intimacy to songs by Ryan Adams, Greg Brown, Joe Henry, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Steve Earle and others." Baez will play a series of select dates this fall. Please see below for details.

H.C. McEntire "Lionheart" (Merge, 2018)
January 25, 2018 David Cowling Album Reviews, Reviews 0
Sometimes records seem to be the obvious culmination of everything that has gone before, so it is with this first solo record from the Mount Moriah frontwoman. The journey from indie-rocker to consummate Country star is completed. She's assimilated generic tropes and has managed to create songs that pay homage and also sound fresh. Everything is in place from the very beginning. A Lamb, A Dove contains elements of gospel with the massed backing vocals – it's a graceful song, the backing gentle, the voices really setting it apart: you can hear each backing singer individually and they all fall together beautifully.
The songs are strong and the performances are excellent. There's total commitment and total care with also the verve to do something different, so Baby's Got the Blues is unashamed country rock, with a little dissonance thrown in. It isn't easy listening but it is easy to listen to and there's a difference. This has hard edges and is seductive, the prickliness part of the appeal. Yellow Roses digs a little deeper into the past with cries of pedal steel and country siren vocals; another part of the appeal is the naturalistic imagery – the songs are full of roses, gardenias, prickly pears and dogwoods, the vision of someone at home in their art and in their landscape.
There are a slew of excellent musicians populating these songs which could hinder but they are at the service of McEntire and it's not really important to note that it's Angel Olsen on backing vocals or William Tyler on guitar, the songs so obviously belong to her. That link to the past is strong on When You Come for Me which sounds as if it is descended from The Band. The songs have that organic feel as if they have written themselves or they are standards that somehow you've just not heard before.
She reminds me of Lucinda Williams, though she reached her destination by travelling down different roads. Dress in the Dark is where she takes a few more chances – the song lacks a traditional structure, it burns slowly and the chorus also shies away from easy hooks; it relies on the atmosphere that it creates, a great woozing swoon of a tune, and yet it creates more of an impression than if it had a more conventional tone. That's how the record succeeds, it operates on its own terms but those terms aren't far from traditional ideas of great songs. One Great Thunder may have more in common with Throwing Muses than Patsy Cline but it has enough to appeal to both audiences. This is a brilliant record.
McEntire has made the record she always threatened to make

Home→Make Money From Home→What is Affiliate Marketing About?
Affiliate marketing is about selling products or services for a company and receiving a percentage of the sale in return for the customer you send to the sellers website. It is a very simple concept and actually very easy to learn to do for yourself.
I'm going to break down exactly how it works and how you could get started with affiliate marketing yourself.
Affiliate marketing requires the participation of 3 people, the merchant, affiliate marketer and the consumer or customer. Let's break down what each persons roll is in a little more detail so you can have a better understanding.
This is the owner of the products or services that you would be promoting and selling. The merchant is actually benefiting from you promoting the products they are offering because they are getting free traffic from you.
When a merchant promotes their products/services using affiliate marketers, they are keeping advertising and promotional fees to a minimum. This is very cost effective for the merchant and actually saves them money even though they are paying you a percentage of the sale.
The Merchants will pay an affiliate either a flat fee or a percentage of the sales for sending a customer to their website and having the customer purchase products or services. All sales are managed with individual tracking codes given to each indivudual affiliate marketer.
This is the person sending the customers to the merchants website to buy a particular product or service that the merchant is selling. They are sending customers to the merchants page in hopes for a sale and to make money for themselves.
The affiliate needs to understand the customer that they are selling to. In other words they need to know who would buy the merchants products.
The affiliate marketer then promotes the product either through a website of their own, a blog or an article. They would also need to know what the products and services are that they are selling very well.
Affiliates don't just promote any products and services that they want, well not a good affiliate marketer anyway. A good affiliate marketer will do their research on the products and services they are going to promote so that they can understand their target audience.
Choosing products or services that you have some knowledge about is a very smart idea, it will make your research a bit less because you already have knowledge and understanding about it.
If you have a website or blog that is about woodworking, then you would want to look for products related to your website/blogs main content. You could promote products such as woodworking tools, blueprints for woodworking, do it yourself books, etc..
You would not want to promote products such as food, pictures, internet marketing, etc. Your main target audience would be on your blog or website to learn about woodworking.
So promoting products as an affiliate through Home Depot, Lowes, or other places offering tools and information related to your website would be beneficial to both you, your customers and the companies you are affiliated with.
If you try to sell products that aren't related to the audience coming to your website/blog then you are not going to make the sales. Staying true to the content or audience you are already focused on will have a much higher conversion for both the affiliate and the merchant.
This is the person you're selling to and you want to give them the best information for the product/services you can. The customer is going to be reading your review or information about the product they want to buy so you have to give them as much real information as possible to make the sale.
Think about yourself as the customer and what you would expect to see when you search for something particular on the internet.
If you type in a search term, let's use "what is affiliate marketing about?". You want to click a link, like this one and actually learn what affiliate marketing is about.
If you click a link and it takes you to a page about building websites and buying one and nothing about what you searched for, you're most likely going to leave because it's not what you want to learn about.
If you actually click a link and it takes you to the information you're searching for then you're more likely to stay and read the information and potentially buy what they are selling.
Do you understand what I'm saying here? Give your potential customers exactly what they are searching for and give them real, true information. You will gain their trust and you are more likely to make a sale.
Treat your potential customers exactly how you would like to be treated, it will go a long way with affiliate marketing.
How Can You Promote Products With Affiliate Marketing?
You can promote products with affiliate marketing successfully through your own website/blog or through article marketing to start. As you get the hang of it there are other ways to promote products as well, such as e-mail marketing and PPC.
Lets stick with the 2 basic ways to start, your own website/blog and article marketing.
These two promotional platforms are the best way to efficiently target your prospective buyer and give them real information to get them to buy the product or service you're offering.
Choosing either one or even combining both of these to promote your affiliate marketing products, will give you the best results with sales.
let you focus on a particular niche and allows you the ability to have multiple affiliate products to promote. If you built a website around a particular idea or Niche, then you would have multiple pages explaining different things.
Weight Loss Meal Delivery Programs: I could promote, Atkins, Nutrisystem, Diet to Go, Weight Watchers, Etc..
Weight Loss Machines: I could promote, Total Gym, BowFlex, TreadClimbers, Weights, Etc..
Exercise Programs: I could promote, WII Fit, Gym Memberships, Pilates Programs, Beachbody, DVD Workout sets, ETC..
As you can see when you build a website and can have multiple pages related to your main topic, or Niche, the ability to promote multiple products and programs is huge. You can continue to add new products as they come out so that your website stays fresh and up to date.
allows you to choose any product that you want and write a review about it. Within your review you may decide to compare 2 different products together and point a consumer to one versus the other.
When you do comparison articles you usually grab more attention from the consumers searching for the products your writing about because you are allowing them to make the final decision.
When consumers have choices and information about the products they usually will go with the one that you like the best. Not because you're tricking them but because you're giving them good, real information so that they can make an informed decision for the product they're after.
Just as I said in the beginning of this page, when you're doing affiliate marketing, it's very important to give honest, real and researched information to your potential customers. You want them to trust you and feel good about the purchase that they are making.
If you are being honest about what you're telling your customer then you will keep drawing more and more customers to your articles and creating honest sales.
Everything you can think of is available for affiliate marketing. Food, clothes, electronics, books, insurance, appliances, pictures, digital downloads, absolutely anything is available for affiliate marketing.
All you would do is click one of the links in your search and sign up to become an affiliate of Home Depot. You can do this with absolutely any product or company and it will show you if they use affiliate marketers to promote their products.
There are so many products and services offered for affiliate marketing and so much being added everyday, that there is absolutely no way it will be going anywhere.
Affiliate marketing will be around for an extremely long time and it will just grow larger every year. There are enough products and services for everyone to make a great living doing this!
You can also sign up through different companies that offer affiliate marketing programs. These companies offer hundreds of products and services from small Ma & Pop stores to larger retail chains like, Walmart, Sears, Target, Michaels Craft Store just 1000's of stores.
This will depend on the companies you're working for. Some programs pay you monthly through a direct deposit into your checking or savings account or send you a check monthly. Other companies prefer to send your payments to PayPal monthly and some companies pay every few months or will send you a check after a minimum threshold has been met, usually $25 or more.
All of the programs that you sign up for will give you a unique affiliate code which is embedded in the links you use for your promotions. This way the companies and you are able to track how many sales you make and also how many clicks and impressions your particular affiliate link is making.


David Duke's banning from Twitter turned out to be nothing more than an hours-long timeout, as the white supremacist's social media profile was once again operational a few short hours after the platform suspended his account.
Twitter has not explained the reasoning behind its suspension and speedy reinstatement of the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and failed politician's account. The platform has struggled with how it monitors hate speech and sanctions those who engage in it, banning the "alt-right" founder Richard Spencer before eventually reinstating him.
This story "David Duke Allowed Back On Twitter After Brief Suspension" was written by Daniel J. Solomon.

Q: Redirect from a website to a desktop application I want to redirect from a website to a desktop application. In addition, I want the website to show an alert and when I click "open", it will open the desired application on my desktop.
This is an example alert when signing into GitHub from VS Code. I want to do the exact same thing, just with a different application.
Thanks for helping!

A: First thing you need to know is that this works only for desktop apps built with Electron. Secondly, inside such an app, at bootstrap time the coders needed to add something like this:
//Register Protocol
app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient("vscode");

Which registers the electron application with that protocol, so that the app will be the one reacting when you try to open it from the browser You can read more about it in the docs here or in this article here.

A vinyl seawall is a major improvement to your property, and it's something that requires good planning. You will be adding a structure that will be protecting your land for decades to come, so it's important to get it right. One of the primary considerations is the material used to construct the seawall. There are several to choose from, but we feel that a vinyl seawall is by far the best option.
Aluminum – Aluminum is subject to galvanic corrosion (also known as electrolysis). This just means that it will corrode. Aluminum also will rust when it's put in salt water.
Steel – Steel is also subject to the corrosive nature of salt water.
Wood – Obviously wood will not rust, but it has problems of its own: marine borers. These are little animals found in the sea (some are teredos, some are limnoria). When they come into contact with wood, they live up to their name: they bore into it. These little creatures eat wood (but they can't eat a vinyl seawall).
Concrete – Many people assume that concrete must be a great material for a seawall. It's not. Concrete is porous, so the salt water can seep into it. And guess what is in the center of the concrete: steel reinforcements. So you are back to the problem of the steel being corroded by the water. It will happen; it's just a matter of time.
A vinyl seawall is not affected by marine borers. Those little critters love to come across a big wood seawall and latch on for an extended meal. But when the seawall is made of vinyl, it's like putting up a sign for them that says "Buffet closed". They have no interest whatsoever in boring into vinyl.
It's financially more efficient. Since vinyl has a much longer effective life than those other materials, it makes better sense from an investment standpoint.
Your vinyl seawall is manufactured to be resistant to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Other materials, wood especially, deteriorate over time in part due to the sun's relentless radiant energy and UV rays. Vinyl is designed to withstand that.
Vinyl will not change in appearance for a very long time. Wood has that rich coloring, and steel looks bright and shiny when first installed. However, the color fades and the nice finish get tarnished before long. It can be a little disappointing to see what was once a beautiful wood seawall begin to fade and decay in a relatively short period of time. Vinyl tends to remain in its initial attractive state longer than other materials.
A vinyl seawall is generally easier to install. Since vinyl is manufactured to very exacting standards, it does not have the natural imperfections and deformities found in wood. It is classified as "impact resistant". Ease of installation may not seem like a big selling feature from the homeowner's point of view, but it is. The sooner we can get your seawall installed, the sooner the equipment is off your property. Also, a faster installation means lower labor costs.
Finally, vinyl has a better warranty. We know it will last longer, so it makes sense that the manufacturer's warranty will cover it for a longer period of time. You will have a warranty covering a full 50 years from the date of purchase.
We provide vinyl seawall products throughout the US and around the world.

Concrete – Concrete has long been thought of as the standard for seawalls. But if you are thinking you want your salt water seawall to last a long time, concrete is not a good idea. Here's why: salt water is classified as a corrosive. A concrete bulkhead will be reinforced by steel inside the concrete. Since concrete is porous, it's not very difficult for water to get into it. As the salt water soaks into the concrete over time, it will get to that interior steel reinforcement and begin the corrosive process. If you have ever seen rust stains coming out of a concrete object, this is exactly what has happened. This cannot happen with vinyl bulkhead construction.
Mollusca: The mollusca are animals with a shell, like oysters or clams.
Regardless of which group comes into contact with a wooden structure, the wood will be destroyed over time. The fact that the wood is pressure-treated does not matter. This is what makes vinyl bulkhead construction a much better choice than bare wood.
Steel – Again, the corrosive process begins virtually immediately when you place steel in salt water. This goes back to the first item on this list (steel-reinforced concrete). Of course, the rust does not begin overnight; the steel may be structurally sound for years before being replaced. But why use a material that is guaranteed to corrode, when vinyl bulkhead construction is available?
Aluminum – Aluminum is a lighter metal, so you might find that it is less expensive than some of the other materials listed above. However, it too has disadvantages when compared to vinyl bulkhead construction. Aluminum will rust when exposed to salt water, just like steel does. Aluminum is also subject to corrosion by electrolysis (also known as galvanic corrosion). You can slow down the process by painting the aluminum, but it will break down eventually.
As you can tell, these "traditional" materials used for seawall construction and bulkheads have become obsolete. There's no reason to use something that you know will break down at some point in the future; it just doesn't make economic sense. Vinyl bulkhead construction has none of those problems. In addition, vinyl does not break down because of exposure to the UV rays of the sun like other materials do.
In fact, we are so confident in the stability and durability of our vinyl products, we offer a 50 year manufacturer's warranty. The warranty covers rust, rot, corrosion and brittleness caused by UV exposure, in addition to any manufacturing defects. We stand behind our bulkhead construction products because we know they will last for a very long time.
If you are considering having a seawall installed, we would be honored to speak with you about that and offer any suggestions or answer your questions.

Everlast Synthetic's EverCap is a structural cap and wale system consisting of a customized alloy designed specifically for harsh marine environments. EverCap can reduce installation time while providing a clean, sleek look in several different surface finishes. Along with our other offered products for seawall construction, the EverCap is designed for longevity and can withstand the elements. Our EverCap is available with varying finishes including a mill finish, powder coating finish, or an anodized finish.
Capping your Everlast Seawall with a long-lasting, warranted Fiber Reinforced Plastic structural cap or with composite deck boards ensures a durable and user-friendly system. The aesthetic advantages consist of having a nice boardwalk feel to the top of your seawall while enjoying the long life expectancy that composite affords.
Concrete seawall caps are a very popular option in the Southern U.S. and Caribbean markets. Concrete caps encapsulate the vinyl sheet piling and provide an extremely strong structural beam to support the Everlast Seawall. These caps have a nice clean look and provide strength and durability for an Everlast Seawall.
Pressure Treated Wood Caps are an excellent way to cap and support an Everlast Seawall. These caps are popular due to their low cost and consistent strength and endurance.
Installation tools for vinyl sheet piling are generally dependent on the soils being driven into. In sandy soils tools such as water jets, vibratory hammers, air hammers, and rail jets are often used. In cohesive clays and silts drop hammers, vibratory plate compactors, and backhoe buckets are generally the tools of choice.
driving Everlast 8.5 16′-18′ in the ground.
Always set a drive guide or template to assure a straight, firm surface to drive sheets against. NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRIVE SHEETS ALONG A STRING LINE ONLY. Run a string line and set temporary posts (usually 4 x 4 posts) where the completed wall will stand. This drive guide (generally a 4 x 6 or 6 x 6) is tack nailed, c clamped, or screwed into the temporary posts. This drive guide can become part of the permanent wale/cap system for a wood capped wall. For a more in-depth, comprehensive guide to building a seawall, please see our How to Build and Install a Seawall post.
Thread a pair of sheets and drive in pairs. This will decrease seawall installation time as well as help keep the sheets plumb and straight. Upon reaching desired embedment, screw a lag screw into the flange of the leading Sheet. NOTE: IT IS CRITICAL TO GET THE 1ST PAIR OF SHEETS STRAIGHT AND PLUMB AS THE REST OF THE WALL WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
Be sure to level each pair of sheets in both the vertical and horizontal directions and continue driving down the length of the wall. It is recommended to lead with the male lock so that soil and debris can easily escape through the female.
Continue installation by installing front or back waler to wall utilizing carriage bolts or all-thread(AT) rod. Carriage bolts(or AT) should be used every 2' –3' between tie rods.
The tie rods will be secured through the front and back waler to a deadman behind the wall.
Complete the process by fastening the top cap board. This board is generally a 2 x 12 pressure treated board or deck boards that run perpendicular to the walers.
Inquire today about accessories for your seawall that E.S.P offers. We inventory a large supply of both hot dipped galvanized and stainless steel fasteners, tie rods, carriage bolts, nuts, washers, and all thread rod. Let Everlast Synthetic Products be your one stop depot for all of your seawall installation needs.
Seawall construction is a fast growing industry. It's a great way to improve residential and commercial properties that are bordered by water. Many property owners are seeing the advantages to having seawall construction done, in order to protect the environment and their own property.
One of the primary environmental concerns today is land erosion. As sea levels rise, coastal erosion increases. Awareness of this is rising on a social consciousness level, as we become more educated about the interaction of land and water on our planet. However, coastal homeowners are particularly aware of the effects of erosion. For them, it has a very direct effect on the value of their real estate. This is where seawall construction can be a very sound investment.
The prevention of land erosion – If a property includes land that is bordered by water (whether ocean, gulf or lake), it is in your best interest to keep that border exactly where it is. However, water doesn't always move with our best interest in mind. There is a tendency for the water to push back against the land, and over time, there is more water and less land.
This is seen more prominently in property that borders the ocean, due to the constant tidal movement. Land that lies next to any large body of water can experience this, particularly after some inclement weather causes a storm surge. Seawall construction puts a barrier in front of the land, so the movement of the water has virtually no effect.
The prevention of flooding – In addition to the gradual erosion of land, water can cause a much more urgent and damaging situation: flooding. After an extended period of rain, water levels can sometimes reach heights that are not commonly seen. Since these water levels are not experienced regularly, the tendency is to not be fully prepared when it happens. If the water gets higher than the land, there is obviously nothing left to stop it from coming into your home. Of course, the further away your house is from the waterline, the less likely you are to have a problem. But if the water surges sufficiently, there is really nothing to stop it from entering your home and causing untold damage.
Those homes that have seawall construction can hold out much longer before coming into contact with water, and are therefore much less likely to experience any damage. If the water does come in because of extraordinarily high sea levels, the damage can at least be minimized by providing the homeowner extra time to prepare.
Of course, we should point out that it is not just homeowners that have concerns about keeping a clear division between water and land. Owners of commercial buildings obviously have their property's safety in mind as well. In fact, a commercial building may be full of expensive machinery and equipment that must be kept dry, and would be difficult and/or costly to replace if the building were to experience a flood problem. In addition, flood cleanup and water removal can be a complicated process. This is not only an expensive inconvenience; it also can mean that the business is closed while the recovery process is completed, so the company experiences a loss of revenue for that period of time.
Whether you are ready to start seawall construction or have questions about the process, give us a call or shoot us an email. We'd be happy to discuss your particular situation with you, offer advice and resolve any concerns you may have.
We provide seawall construction products throughout the US and around the world.

Q: SQLite does not update the date value I am trying to update the date value in the database which is hold as a text, however I stucked here, it takes the user correctly, but does not update the current date;
    public int getID(String userName) {
        String colums[] = {userName};
        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
        String sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE userName=?";
        Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(sql,colums);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
            if(cursor.getCount() > 0){
            int id = cursor.getInt(0);
            db.close();
            cursor.close();
            return id;
        }
        db.close();
        cursor.close();
        return 0;
    }

The part that I try to update the date, the app is closed suddenly;
    public void update(User user, String currentDate){

        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        int ID =  getID(user.getUserName());
        String strSQL = "UPDATE user SET date = " + currentDate + " WHERE id =?" + ID ;
        db.execSQL(strSQL);
        db.close();
    }

A: String strSQL = "UPDATE user SET date = " + currentDate + " WHERE id =?" + ID ;

Seems like SYNTAX (May be Quotes) issue costs you. You can try with
 public void update(User user, String currentDate){

    int user_id =  getID(user.getUserName());
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    ContentValues data=new ContentValues();
    data.put("date",currentDate);
    db.update("user", data, "id=" + String.valueOf(user_id), null);
    db.close();
 }
