SOUDERTON — Summertime and the living isn't easy.
About one quarter of Souderton Area School District's students — about 1,500 kids — receive free or reduced price meals during the school year.
During the summer, that's not happening, so a coalition of community organizations that help fight hunger year-round have banded together to provide free lunches for students over the summer.
"It's just amazing how much families rely on school lunches and when school is out of session, there is a huge need that we're hoping the community recognizes, and we are here to try to fulfill," said Arlene Daily, Keystone Opportunity Center's executive director.
In a pair of new programs, Souderton Area School District has the Big Red Picnic Project, which provides a free lunch to district students 11 a.m. to noon Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at E. M. Crouthamel Elementary School and Indian Crest Middle School; and Keystone Opportunity Center provides free lunches to students from any school district 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesdays during the Fresh For All food distribution in the Grace Bible Church parking lot on Main Street in Souderton and to Souderton Area School District students in families that are Keystone food pantry clients at the food pantry 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and, based on availability, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Thursdays.
The lunches are available during 10 weeks beginning in June and ending in August. While the Keystone lunches and the Big Red Picnic ones are separate programs, they work together to accomplish the same thing, Andrew Hudak, the school district's middle school staff developer, said.
Food for the Big Red Picnic program is provided by the school district's Food Service Department, Brenda Oelschlager, the district's coordinator of community education, said.
"Our volunteers pack the lunches and transport them from the high school to the school to their pick up," she said.
About 200 district employees have volunteered to help with the program, Hudak said.
Registration is not required, so an expected amount is prepared and there are more in reserve that can be used if needed, Hudak said. Any lunches that are prepared and not picked up can be used in other programs, such as the district's summer camp, so nothing goes to waste, Oelschlager said.
A few weeks into the program, Hudak said the number of lunches provided by the Big Red Picnic varies, but was about 125 per week.
Keystone is partnering with Philabundance to distribute 1,800 lunch boxes over the summer through its new free lunch program, Alan Raisman, Keystone's manager of advancement, said.
Since 2015, Keystone has also provided kid-friendly food bags in the summer to food pantry clients who have school children, Raisman said. The kid-friendly bags are in addition to the regular monthly food pantry distributions, he said.
"Last year, we distributed 215 bags of kid-friendly food bags throughout the summer," Cindy Dembrosky, Keystone's food pantry manager, said. "It took us all the way through to the end of August, so this year, we're hoping to be able to put together 225 bags."
Along with food, the kid-friendly bag distribution includes "Giggle bags" made by students at Salford Hills Elementary School, first aid bags and nutritional information, she said.
The SASD Summer Food Coalition includes the Souderton Area School District, its Food Service and Community Education programs, Indian Valley Education Foundation, Keystone Opportunity Center and the Bean Bag Program at Zion Mennonite Church, information about the coalition says.
The Bean Bag Program provides a bag of food each Friday during the school year that receiving students can take home for food over the weekend, Oelschlager said.
Donations of food or cash are needed year round, representatives of the food programs said.
"The shelves get a little thin in the summertime," Dembrosky said. "We're always looking for donations because hunger doesn't go on vacation."
The summer lunch program is an additional one, not part of Keystone's regular programs, Daily said.
"It's something that Keystone just took on ourselves recognizing that there is such a level of hunger in children over the summertime," she said.
See www.KeystoneOpportunity.org/hunger for information on the summer lunch program or to donate to Keystone.
Souderton Area School District doesn't qualify for state funding for the summer lunch program, so all the food is paid for by community contributions, Oelschlager said.
If a student came to all the Big Red Picnics in the summer, the cost to provide the food for that student would be $120, she said.
Private donors or community organizations have either donated or committed a total of $55,000 to the program, she said. The original goal was to try to get $36,000 of donations, Hudak said.
Money received this year that exceeds the costs will go toward next summer's program, Oelschlager said.
By fall, there will hopefully be an online donation option for the program, she said.
Until then, donation checks may be made out to Souderton Area School District with "Big Red Picnic" written on the memo line, she said. The checks can be mailed to the District Office at 760 Lower Road, Souderton, PA 18964, she said.

The Sex and Surprise of a Firefly's Flash


Note: This post was written March 12, and posting was delayed until our return home.
This is the first part of our trip: driving from Kansas to Indiana with Jacob and Oliver. From Indiana, we'll be flying to Germany while the boys stay with their grandparents.
We normally don't like long road trips. Our preferred way to travel is by train. By air is second, and car is last. But this time, driving was all that made sense. We planned to make the 11-hour drive in two days to give the boys more of a chance to get out of the car and run around.
It's always a bit demoralizing heading east from our place. You drive at highway speeds for an hour and are barely one county over.
We left at about noon and made it as far as Kansas City before our first stop — much to our surprise. We ate at a Cracker Barrel there. Afterwords, Jacob loved running in front of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Oliver chilled on a wooden bench.
We spent the night in a hotel on the eastern edge of the metro area. Then Thursday hit the road again. We stopped for a mid-morning snack, then ate lunch at Pizza Hut. Jacob ran around in the grass outside again.
We had a few toy-throwing episodes, but overall Jacob did very well. Oliver did even better. He slept a good part of the way, and happily watched Jacob for most of the rest. The car trip went well.
This morning, it's time to get ready to head to the airport, and to break the news to Jacob that we'll be gone for a few days. We've learned that he worries a lot about change if he knows about it too much in advance, finding it hard to process and understand, so we'll tell him after he wakes up this morning. Then off to the airport for our flight to Newark. Then we get to sit around in New Jersey for a few hours before our 7.5-hour flight to Hamburg.


Phuket vs Pattaya. Which Vacation Spot Is Better ? A Pattaya vs Phuket comparison isn't an easy one. While Phuket offers a more rejuvenating and peaceful experience, Pattaya is a rather loud destination with a constant, frenzied party atmosphere. While Phuket is best suited for families, kids and couples, Pattaya is for the adventure freaks, adrenaline junkies and the spoiled part of the population. But no matter how diverse and different they are, we bet it won't be easy picking one out of either Phuket or Pattaya. Which Vacation Is Better?

Jacob and Hellen, have been married for twenty years when Hellen arrived home from work a couple of hours earlier than usual.
As Hellen turned into the driveway, she was surprised to see an "Easy Man, Maid Service" car parked on the street in front of their house. She assumed the car maybe for one of her neighborhoods.
Seven years earlier, Hellen went back to work as a civil rights attorney where she often bragged to co-workers about how Jacob kept an immaculate and orderly home.
Jacob was enjoying a successful career as an architectural engineer when he decided to stay home with their three children, who are now, ages 16, 13, and 10.
As Hellen entered her home to hear moaning and groaning emitting from her family room. She stood still for a moment stunned at the noise. She slowed her pace, placing her purse on the kitchen table, quietly tip-toeing towards the family room.
Her stomach begins to knot with nauseous fear as her imagination began cautiously suspecting Jacob involved in some inappropriate behavior, destroying the many years of trust she thought they had developed.
When she peered around the corner into the family, she heard another man's voice. She stopped, took a take a deep breath and walk into the family room to see Jacob, her youngest son Jeffery age 10 and three other men in yoga positions. Helen stares in disbelief but relieved.
Hellen waved to her son and smiled as Jacob walked toward her and explained he is teaching a yoga class to the new start-up cleaning business, employing only men.
Jacob notices a slightly perplexed look on Hellen's face after he kisses her. Hellen returns the kiss and hugs, Jacob. Hellen continues upstairs to change and prepare for the evening.
Later that night Jacob and Hellen are snuggled together in bed watching television when Helen tells Jacob she had a nervous nauseating feeling in her stomach when she heard the moaning & grunting coming from the family room.
When I saw you teaching a yoga class, I felt guilty for feeling and sensing mistrust. I'm sorry, Jacob.
Looking into Helen's eyes, Jacob tells her that every time you work late, I have thoughts of mistrust enter my mind. But at the Christmas Party when your co-workers congratulate me as a stay at home father, I understand how proud of me you are and how much you brag about me to your co-workers and I can never imagine either of us destroying our trust.
I believe we have a loving trust established and based on a foundation of mutual respect, friendship as man & woman, husband & wife, mother, and father for us to love one another for life.
When those thoughts and suspicions enter my mind, I just remember how much I love you, Helen.
I love you too Jacob.
Trust is the currency of relationships. It is what binds couples, parent-children and indeed wider society together!

I was introduced to Mr. Barbosa and his Dojo in San Paolo by Mr. Nakaya from Tokai Jiu-Jitsu. I could not speak Portuguese but decided to go anyway believing that surely Mr. Barbosa would speak Japanese. Little did I know how difficult the communication would be when you go to a totally different country and can not speak the language! Luckily as the time went by and I did my best to talk with the other students I learned to communicate with them.
Mr. Barbosa has always had a great heart, it was easy to feel that warmth he has toward other people and the great passion he has for jiu-jitsu. As a teacher myself I hope to extend that warmth of jiu-jitsu to every student.
If you would like to go to visit Mr. Barbosa to feel the very special atmosphere and practice there please contact Nakaya Sensei at Tokai Jiu-Jitsu.

This Young Entrepreneur Is Turning Coffee Beans Into BioFuel. Here's How…
by Amanda Froelich at trueactivist.com
Bio-bean is turning coffee waste into pellets that can heat your home and office building.
Believe it or not, coffee beans are good for more than just a morning brew or a facial scrub. In London, the grounds are being repurposed into a sustainable fuel that can heat your car and home.
Arthur Kay, the founder and CEO of Bio-bean, has figured out a way to turn coffee grounds into pellets that can heat buildings. The 24-year-old entrepreneur was first struck with the idea to transform coffee grounds into a sustainable fuel while he was attending University College London, reports WIRED.
Bio-bean, which is based in London, successfully transforms tons of unused coffee grounds – often sourced from local cafes, office blocks, and instant coffee factories – into biofuel. Most of the grounds are obtained for free in exchange for being received of waste-management costs.

The innovative process involves first sifting and drying the grounds to eliminate moisture. Next, the material is then passed through mechanical machinery and is mixed with an organic solve to remove existing plant oils.
"Where others see waste, bio-bean sees resources in the wrong place, demonstrating that urban structures are open to sustainable redesign," Bio-bean's website states.
Last December, Kay shared with WIRED that his real interest was initially in collection and recycling. "I was thinking about how to design sustainable cities, how to fuel the city of the future,"he said.

The inquisitive entrepreneur settled on coffee waste because of the substance's heat-generating properties. Also, coffee grounds are quite easy to collect, and there's no shortage of them.
In fact, the UK produces more than 500,000 tons of coffee waste per year. At present, Bio-bean can process about 50,000 per year.
Every amount matters, however. According to the company, "Every tonne of waste coffee grounds recycled using bio-bean's technology saves 6.8 tonnes of C02 emissions. It's like driving from London to Beijing — twice."
Kay is working on scaling up the operation to handle more coffee grounds, first in London, then in other areas around the globe.
"There's nothing unique about the UK coffee market," Kay says. "There's no reason why this thing couldn't be done around the world."
The company also aims to create liquid biodiesel for vehicles.
"You can apply this technology to thousands of other waste streams, and that's where we see growth," says the entrepreneur.

National prospective cohort study of the burden of acute small bowel obstruction
NASBO steering group and NASBO collaborators
Cancer and Genomic Sciences
Background: Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency, and is associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality across the world. The literature provides little information on the conservatively managed group. The aim of this study was to describe the burden of small bowel obstruction in the UK. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in 131 acute hospitals in the UK between January and April 2017, delivered by trainee research collaboratives. Adult patients with a diagnosis of mechanical small bowel obstruction were included. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included complications, unplanned intensive care admission and readmission within 30 days of discharge. Practice measures, including use of radiological investigations, water soluble contrast, operative and nutritional interventions, were collected. Results: Of 2341 patients identified, 693 (29·6 per cent) underwent immediate surgery (within 24 h of admission), 500 (21·4 per cent) had delayed surgery after initial conservative management, and 1148 (49·0 per cent) were managed non-operatively. The mortality rate was 6·6 per cent (6·4 per cent for non-operative management, 6·8 per cent for immediate surgery, 6·8 per cent for delayed surgery; P = 0·911). The major complication rate was 14·4 per cent overall, affecting 19·0 per cent in the immediate surgery, 23·6 per cent in the delayed surgery and 7·7 per cent in the non-operative management groups (P < 0·001). Cox regression found hernia or malignant aetiology and malnutrition to be associated with higher rates of death. Malignant aetiology, operative intervention, acute kidney injury and malnutrition were associated with increased risk of major complication. Conclusion: Small bowel obstruction represents a significant healthcare burden. Patient-level factors such as timing of surgery, acute kidney injury and nutritional status are factors that might be modified to improve outcomes.

BROAD STOCK MARKET "CRASH" UPDATE (2:00 pm EST)
The scenario described in my "CRASH UPDATE" (1/7/22) on the Home Page seems to be playing out on schedule (so far). The DOW and S&P 500 formed significant all-time high tops in early January (the NASDAQ's all-time high top came a little earlier - in late November 2021), and all three indices have been falling steeply from those highs. We are now at a critical juncture. All three indices made deep lows on February 24 (the DOW hit a bottom at 32,272, the S&P 500 dropped to 4,116, and the NASDAQ plunged to 12,598). From the all-time highs, this represents a 12% drop in the DOW, a 14% drop in the S&P 500, and a whopping 22% drop in the NASDAQ.
All three indices have bounced up sharply from those Feb. 24 (last Thursday) lows. But is this going to be just a "dead cat bounce"? In other words, can this rally gain some momentum and lead to another challenge to the all-time highs in one, two, or all three of these indices? Or will the rally struggle and turn back down soon to go deeper than those Feb. 24 lows? This is the big question now.
The NASDAQ has already exceeded a 20% correction. If this market does turn back down soon, and the DOW and S&P 500 also fall more than 20% from their all-time highs, there's a good chance that a serious "crash" will be underway. A second possibility could be another strong rally into April with one, two, BUT NOT ALL THREE indices making new all-time highs. This would be a strong intermarket bearish divergence signal, and the big "crash" could proceed from there. A third possible scenario would be for all three indices to rally strongly now with ALL THREE making new all-time highs. If that happens, there's a good chance the serious correction would be over, and there would likely be no crash. Right now, the first scenario seems most likely, the second scenario a little less likely, and the third scenario (no crash) the least likely. It should be more clear which scenario will play out by the end of this month.

Atlanta's Newest Landmark Will Teach Generations of Southerners What Doing the Right Thing Really Means
Back when I lived in New York City, people would ask me what it was like to live in Atlanta. I heard the question so often I developed a standard response.
I'd say: "You know that old saying, 'It's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there'? Well, Atlanta's just the opposite. It's a great place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit there."
This was my rather feeble attempt to express something that had gnawed at me during my years of living in Atlanta — the notion that there was no single place to visit that truly captured the heart of the entire city.
Other Southern cities were different. In Memphis, a tourist could easily touch its music-loving, barbecue-funky heart with visits to landmarks like Sun Studios or the Rendezvous. In New Orleans, the city's genuinely unique, polyglot culture had created hundreds of ways for the visitor to feel its beating heart: through its foods, its architecture or that infectious Second Line beat that comes right out and says, "This is New Orleans music."
And thinking about that begged other questions. What exactly was the heart of Atlanta? Where did one go to actually feel it beat? I suppose I'd grown up thinking that people thought the heart of Atlanta was in its rise from the ashes post-Civil War. But there were two problems with bringing that narrative to life for a visitor. One, it's hard to see what remains of the ashes unless you do something hard, like go on a 10-mile hike through what remains of the Battle of Atlanta's killing fields. And two, you wind up telling a story that goes something like this:
OK, our ancestors decided to fight a war that would allow them to keep people of color enslaved, and they lost that war, and in the process, my entire hometown got burned down.
Not exactly inspiring stuff.
But I knew — as did thousands of other Atlantans — that another story truly represented our city's heart. Like the old tale, it was a story of struggle, but it was also a story of redemption, a story about a gift that Atlanta gave to the South, to America, and to the whole round world.
I also knew where that story began: on a half-mile stretch of Auburn Avenue in downtown Atlanta.
So when I moved back home and received out-of-town visitors, that's where I took them. We'd drive or walk from Big Bethel AME Church at 220 Auburn, an African-American church whose roots reach all the way back to 1840, then eastward past Wheat Street Baptist Church at 359, and finally to Ebenezer Baptist at 407, just east of which lie the graves of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
These three churches, I would explain, gave birth to the American Civil Rights Movement. I would try to explain that in the 1960s, on this half-mile stretch of Auburn Avenue, America began to turn, to put aside its past and attempt to become a nation whose people, in the words of Dr. King, "will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
But my feeble words never seemed enough. And it was hard to just walk or drive past three churches and a gravesite in that five-block stretch and really feel the magnitude of the idea that took shape there — that reconciliation could triumph over conflict, that non-violence could overcome violence. The heart of Atlanta was there on Auburn Avenue, but it was too big and too ethereal to really feel as you stood on the sidewalks. You couldn't dance to it, like you could a New Orleans rhythm. You couldn't taste it, like Memphis barbecue. But it was there.
When the Olympics came to town back in 1996, there appeared downtown (at no small cost and a considerable amount of upheaval) a new public green, Centennial Olympic Park. Sadly, it instantly became known not as a watershed in the history of downtown Atlanta, but as the site of a bombing by anti-gay and anti-abortion zealot Eric Rudolph.
But over time, as happens in cities, things began to spring up around the park, including two of Atlanta's biggest tourist attractions: the Georgia Aquarium, which opened in 2005 and has drawn more than 11 million visitors since, and The World of Coca-Cola, which moved to its current location across Baker Street from the park, in 2007, and brought with it another million or so visitors a year.
But yesterday, something else opened over by that park, and for the rest of my days it will be the first place I take visitors to my city.
I am certainly no architecture critic. Nor am I capable of projecting the economic effects of our new National Center for Civil and Human Rights. I can only tell you how I felt — as a Southerner, as an Atlantan, and as a human — when I walked out of the place for the first time last week.
I felt like the heart of Atlanta had finally found a home — a place that assembles all the bits of history and all the ghosts of martyrs you could feel in the air on Auburn Avenue and makes them shockingly, unavoidably real.

The National Center for Civil and Human Rights is a tremendous achievement, unlike anything this city has ever seen. It puts you directly into the experience of the American Civil Rights Movement, with all its heartbreak, and then takes you on a remarkable journey through the current struggles for human rights around the world and right here at home.
To judge it as a museum is to judge it unfairly. A museum is where you go to see things that used to be. The Center takes you through history, because you need that knowledge, but it does not let you leave before it challenges you to act.
And though the Center will get funding from those who buy tickets to visit it, its function is not merely to be a tourist attraction. The Center will be a place where people from all over the world will gather to do the very difficult work of reconciliation, of helping to create Dr. King's "beloved community," over and over again, all over the world.
It will be the place where current and future generations of Southerners will bring their children and grandchildren to learn the unvarnished history of our region. And it will be the place where those young Southerners will start asking each other questions they need to ask. By its very nature, the Center somehow makes all those difficult conversations easier to have. The logic of its narrative is simple: When the truth is right in your face, it's hard not to talk about it. And by talking about it, the process of non-violent reconciliation that began on Auburn Avenue will continue.
You could call the place a museum, and you'd be right but not wholly right. You could call it a tourist attraction, and you'd be right but not wholly right. To me, it almost feels like a temple, in the larger, secular sense: "the structure of thought, value, or belief that enshrines the spirit or essence of something."
Maybe we should just call it the High Church of Doing the Right Thing.

I have demonstrated how to create a delegate node (Text Collection in our case), also have created a test report program to demonstrate usage of helper class and retrieve by associations to retrieve the text contents, going further we are consuming the Dependent BO in FPM.
Here we are embedding the Dependent Object /BOBF/TEXT_COLLECTION in our BO.
Right click Root node → Select Delegate node.
Provide node name, node prefix, under "Cross BO Relationship" select "Ref. Business Object" as /BOBF/TEXT_COLLECTION.
Node Prefix: The node prefix is used by BOPF at runtime in order to identify the Dependent Object which is called by the consumer.
When you create the Delegated Node as described above BOPF automatically creates the required association to the root node of the Dependent Object.
The embedded Dependent Object must have an alternative key on its root node that uses /BOBF/S_LIB_K_DELEGATION as DATA_TYPE and /BOBF/T_LIB_K_DELEGATION as DATA_TABLE_TYPE. The Alternative Key must be set to "Not-unique" to enable one-to-many usages of it.
We can see that in the Dependent BO for Text Collection.
Activate and regenerate the BOPF constant interface.
Select the BO and provide query select all. Select the Root node and click edit button.
Click Create node instance, we may get the error.
Provide with the Test Schema ID as "DEFAULT" and "TEXT_EXISTS_IND" = "X" and click check. Save.
Now Select the TEXT_CONTENT and create instance. Provide the Text "Demo Text". Save. The records are now saved.
*Association to a Delegated node.
IF ( lr_srv_mgr IS NOT BOUND ).
Pre-requisite: Please follow the link to get started with FPM BOPF Integration.
Enter T-code: FPM_WB to open the FPM Workbench and proceed with your application.
Create a Tabbed UIBB component.
Search for the Text Collection Config ID and add /BOFU/TEXT_COLLECTION_TAB.
Select the Wire Schema Tab and add a new wire with the below details.
Entering the TRQ ID and click continue.
On the Next screen we see the Text Collection delegate node with the text content.
This is working ,but i have trying with Address , is there any further settings for Address DO.
For DO Address there are more configurations needed in SPRO, besides the regular configuration of the DO in BOPF.
"dependent object for address management" in SPRO, but i'm not getting the proper setting to be made there.
Please find the path flow below for reference.
I'm totally new to these concepts , will u be able to elaborate the settinhgs please.
I have made the settings by referring from a standard Object TEST_CUSTOMER.
But now its giving an error BO-inconsistency : Configuration not available!
You can use the TEST_CUSTOMER as a reference, but you should not copy and paste the same configurations, as they are BO specific.
Address in the business object TEST_CUSTOMER is not working properly.
In my object also there is same kind of problem.
can you please decribe what you tryed to do that lead to the error?
in the address DO case, this usally happens if the BAS validations failed, and the address cannot be saved.
that means that the address was not created properly.
It is not accepting the the value of POSTAL_ADDRESS_ID or any of the values in the DO.
When i have tried to save, its giving this dump.
The class /scmtms/cl_common_helper doesn't exist.

Fossil Free Investing and Portfolio Performance
by Matthew Patsky May 10, 2017 in Divestment tips, Investment strategy 2250 1
For 35 years, Trillium Asset Management has helped our clients align investments with values, including divesting assets from fossil fuel companies. Increasingly, investors are choosing to eliminate all traditional energy (coal, oil, gas) from their portfolios and reinvest in companies leading the transition to a low carbon economy. Whether you are an individual or institutional investor, fossil fuel companies pose distinctive risks that are not manageable to the extent required to make them attractive investments.
Our recently updated guide, "Make a Clean Break: Your Guide to Fossil Fuel Free Investing," developed in partnership with Green Century Capital Management and 350.org, helps investors better understand the reasons to eliminate coal, oil, and gas companies from portfolios. In addition, investors learn how to adopt a clear reinvestment strategy that supports a more sustainable economy without sacrificing returns.
Below, I discuss the importance of extracting fossil fuels from your portfolio and avoiding the risk of stranded assets.
Why is divestment important now?
Given the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections, it is imperative to send a clear signal that we demand action on climate change. Divestment is a simple step all individuals, families, and institutions can do immediately to demonstrate a commitment to solving one of the most important issues facing the planet.
How is fossil fuel free investing unique to Trillium's history?
Trillium has been on the forefront of environmental investing for decades, with a deep history in fossil fuel free investing and reinvesting in companies committed to sustainable solutions. Our fossil fuel free investment portfolios represent approximately 50% of our firm's $2.0 billion in assets under management.
Trillium's fossil fuel free Global Equity Strategy, available in mutual fund form, has been fossil fuel free since inception in 1999, and is one of the oldest and largest strategies in the country. In addition, Trillium's Fossil Fuel Free Core strategy has matched the S&P1500 benchmark gross of fees for the last 10 years (net of fees 6.8% vs. 7.7%) and is among the fastest growing investment approaches at the firm.1 Both strategies exclude all companies directly involved in the extraction and production of fossil fuels as well as all utilities involved in power generation from fossil fuels. We believe that investing in fossil fuel stocks carries inherent risk.
We are also the sub-advisor to the Green Century Balanced Fund, one of the only funds committed to investing in green bonds proactively directing capital to solve climate challenges. The Balance Fund also does not invest in fossil fuel companies and was the first U.S. mutual fund to perform a carbon footprint analysis.
Do investors sacrifice returns if they choose to go fossil fuel free?
Moving your money away from fossil fuels does not mean having to sacrifice returns. A growing number of studies are beginning to find that investors can seek competitive returns without major negative impacts on portfolio performance and/or risk over the long-term.
An analysis conducted by MSCI for the period November 30, 2010 to February 28, 2017 found that investors who discarded holdings in fossil fuel companies would have outperformed those who remained invested in coal, oil, and gas during that same period.2 In fact, the analysis shows that investors who divested from fossil fuel companies would have earned an annualized five-year return of 9.53%, compared to 8.25% return earned by conventional investors.
A second study, conducted by investment firm Aperio Group in 2016, estimated that excluding all fossil fuel companies from 1988 through 2013, a 25-year period, would have an annual tracking error from its Russell 3000 benchmark of just over three quarters of a percent but which has virtually no risk in terms of volatility.3 The Aperio study showed that over the 25-year period, the fossil fuel free portfolio outperformed its benchmark by a fraction of a percent (0.05%). Aperio also reported that over rolling 10-year periods, the carbon-free portfolio outperformed its benchmark 68% of the time. Similarly, an Advisor Partners study also determined that removing energy stocks from a well-diversified portfolio has little impact on investment risk.4
What are stranded assets and what do they mean for my portfolio?
Carbon assets are the proven reserves of oil, gas, and coal mining companies. The reserves are counted as positive assets on a company's balance sheet under the assumption that all listed reserves will be extracted, sold, and burned. In fact, most energy companies are valued by financial analysts based on these proven reserves.
There are many state, national, and global initiatives to press for a cost of carbon that could meaningfully address the risks of climate change. While the outcomes of many of these efforts are still in flux, such as the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, we certainly believe over the long-term there is a very clear risk to the value of any carbon assets. If ultimately regulatory efforts prohibit extraction of these carbon assets, or make them too expensive to develop, they become "stranded assets." Investors in energy companies with such potentially stranded assets face the very real risk that their investments may lose value.
Why is reinvestment a critical component as well?
Removing fossil fuel related companies in a portfolio is just a first step. Just as important is reinvestment in companies involved in the transition toward a more sustainable economy. In the updated guide, we identify seven pillars of reinvestment that represent strong long-term growth opportunities: energy efficiency, power generation, storage and distribution, transportation, sustainable agriculture, water, and sustainable design. We believe companies that proactively address climate change through their supply chain, products and services offered, and operations may be better positioned to succeed in a low-carbon future. Investment in these solutions-oriented companies helps create exposure to new opportunities in a portfolio, and helps catalyze the shift of capital to innovative, solutions-focused technologies.
By eliminating ties with fossil fuel companies, investors can avoid the risks of fossil fuels and make a positive impact by actively supporting companies that pay attention to environmental, social, and governance factors.

In 1994, he became the first sell side analyst in the U.S. to publish on the topic of socially responsible investment.
Trillium Asset Management, LLC (Trillium) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). Trillium is an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors act of 1940. For the purposes of establishing and maintaining compliance with the GIPS standards, the firm has elected to define itself exclusive of wrap fee assets under management historically until 10/1/2013. Effective 10/1/2013 the firm has redefined itself to include wrap-fee assets under management. Previously, the firm included only institutional and high net worth accounts. The firm was redefined to include the wrap-fee business to reflect all business lines managed by the organization.
The Fossil Fuel Free Core Composite was created on August 28, 2011 and has an inception date of January 1, 2007. The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express valuations and performance.
Performance is presented net of trading costs and both net and gross of management fees, includes the reinvestment of all income, and is vested and calculated on a trade date basis. Individual performance will vary from that of the composite.
Lists, descriptions, and GIPS compliant presentations are available upon request for all Trillium performance composites.
The S&P Indices are widely recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The S&P 1500 combines three indices, the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P SmallCap 600 to cover approximately 90% of the U.S. market capitalization.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Every investment carries the potential for both profit and loss.
Investments in smaller companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons, such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock.

Improve your health and feel your best inside and out with facial rejuvenation in Los Angeles and Bakersfield.
Whether you are trying to overcome acne or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Dr. Kerendian offers facial rejuvenation services to help you look and feel your best as you age.
Facial rejuvenation refers to minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures that restore youthfulness and beauty to the face. Coupled with other anti-aging treatments like hormone replacement therapy, facial rejuvenation can help you look as young as you feel.
Dr. Kerendian offers a variety of treatment options for facial rejuvenation in Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
All anti-aging treatments with Dr. Kerendian are performed in-office. You can expect to return to your normal routine immediately following each of these treatment options.
Botox is a leading anti-aging treatment for removing facial wrinkles. Dr. Kerendian uses Botox to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles from around the eyes, lips and forehead to give you a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Botox can be injected during a standard office appointment. The serum acts as a mild relaxant, encouraging muscles in the face to smoothen by blocking the signals from the nerves to the facial muscles. Dr. Kerendian administers Botox with a fine needle into targeted muscles. The entire process is painless, and you can expect to see results within three to five days. A single Botox treatment can last up to six months. Treatment sessions are generally painless.
Microdermabrasion is a facial exfoliating treatment that repairs skin damage. This anti-aging treatment is performed with a specialized machine and comes with a very low risk of side effects. Microdermabrasion is most commonly used to enhance facial appearance, but can also be used to treat the back, neck, chest or hands.
Microdermabrasion is performed in your physician's office and is generally painless. During the anti-aging treatment, abrasive crystals are rubbed across the surface of the treated area while a suctioning device removes dead skin. Speed and pressure of the device can be adjusted for comfort purposes.
You will be permitted to apply make-up or sunscreen immediately following a microdermabrasion session.
Latisse (bimatoprost) is the leading FDA-approved medication to restore eyelashes, helping them become longer and thicker in a short period of time. This is a non-invasive, prescription-only medication that is applied directly to the upper eyelid. Fuller eyelashes typically develop after two months of regular treatment and will remain as long as medication use continues.

Are you saying you can't melt the welding rod with the torch you have?
Also, have you ever seen a butane lighter explode? It's pretty dramatic. You might want to get that away from the work area.
I have to wonder how the snow and the traction motors get along. The Central of Ga. was one of the first roads to completely dieselize, yet they kept 2 steamers on backup in the roundhouse in Savannah up into the 60's. They don't call this area "the low country" for nothing, flooding is common.
the 2" scale example you give works.
29 feet is 348". 348 x 2.5/12 = 72.5".
With this method, if you had say 29'-6", you'd just add the 6" to the 348" to get 354" and you'd get 73-3/4"

Please note that not all disks can be checked with this program.
Our DiskCheck product is mainly intended for checking non-protected data disks. It was designed primarily for verifying your own burned CD and DVD data archive.
It can also be used for read benchmarking. Aging disks tend to benchmark lower, therefore that's an indication you might have to refresh your CD copy. Same is valid for benchmarking HDD's or other data drives. It always reads in data mode only (not as video or audio). Please note that it does not scan blank disks, or areas where data has not been written to yet.
The problem is that most retail CD/DVDs have embedded copy protection techniques and their write patterns are completely altered. The behavior in such cases is that the program either generates a lot of errors, or just stops immediately from scanning. If this happens, you are simply trying to scan an incompatible disk.
This being said, unprotected data disks like a printer drivers disk, freeware magazine disks, or the disks you create yourself at home will always be scanned just fine.
Some other commercial audio/video CD/DVD's might be read as well, with the note that they will be scanned as data files and not in audio or video read mode.
Otherwise, most audio CD's and video CD's and DVDs (copy protected), game disks and disks not designed to run on a PC will NOT be scanned by this product. The embedded copy prevention techniques used alter the data area and write patterns and render them unreadable by common software tools and sometimes even for your PC CD/DVD unit.


Lonnie Wheatley, PONTOON BEACH, Ill. (April 17, 2015) – It's not that Hunter Schuerenberg hadn't ever won with a wing over his head. It's just that it had been a while. A "while" as in ten years or so for the Sikeston, MO, racer.
Focusing on USAC's wingless Sprint Car ranks over the past few years, the 25-year-old Schuerenberg is delving back into the winged wars and came away with a victory in just his third night out by topping Friday night's Neal Tire MOWA Sprint Series feature event at Tri-City Speedway.
Schuerenberg picked up $2,000 by wiring the field in the 25-lapper aboard the Roof Bolt Xpress No. 20n Mach 1 chassis.
"It's pretty awesome to be able to get a win just the third night out with this car," Schuerenberg said in victory lane.
The triumph came one week after Schuerenberg debuted the No. 20n machine at Jacksonville and West Burlington.
"It's really pretty humbling, we pretty much got our teeth kicked in last weekend with MOWA at Jacksonville and then the NSL race," Schuerenberg explained after winning the Dash to earn the pole position for the feature.
That teeth-kicking was shortlived with Schuerenberg the class of the field throughout the night.
"It takes a little bit to start getting comfortable again, it really started to feel pretty good in the Dash," Schuerenberg explained.
Starting from the pole position, Schuerenberg outgunned four-time and reigning MOWA kingpin Jerrod Hull for the lead at the drop of the green flag and led throughout.
Hull closed to Schuerenberg's rear bumper after each caution but otherwise was never able to mount a serious challenge.
After running the top side of the 3/8-mile oval in the early going, Schuerenberg dropped to the low side in the rubber by then tenth round and was untouchable the rest of the way. "That's probably my first winged win since about 2005, back when I was driving dad's car," Schuerenberg said.
Hull held second until slowing abruptly exiting turn two in the closing laps and pulling to the infield. Running fourth at the time, Brad Loyet took quick advantage by racing by Jordan Goldesberry when the latter got into the back of Hull when he slowed.
Loyet chased Schuerenberg to the line with Goldesberry settling for third. Paul Nienhiser was fourth with Korey Weyant rounding out the top five.
Heat Winners (starting position in parentheses): Jordan Goldesberry (5), Jerrod Hull (4), Paul Nienhiser (2).
Heat Moments: When Joey Moughan looped it getting into turn one three laps into the first heat, Levi Curry flipped after errant evasive action and was done for the night. Taylor Ferns spun in turn four on the opening round of the second heat, collecting A.J. Bruns. Bruns was forced pitside with damage. Jacob Patton popped an engine on the opening round of the third heat. Jordan Goldesberry rallied from fifth to win the first heat, topping the night's point charts while Hunter Schuerenberg raced from sixth to second to earn a Dash position. Jerrod Hull won the second heat by a full straightaway while Paul Nienhiser outgunned Brad Loyet at the drop of the green flag and raced on to a convincing win in heat three.
Lap 1 – Austin McCarl comes to a stop in turn four with left front damage and is done for the night.
Lap 4 – The red flag flies when Jake Blackhurst flips in turn four. Blackhurst is uninjured but done.
Lap 5 – Joey Moughan spins in turn four after contact while dicing for position with Jordan Goldesberry.
Lap 13 – The lapped car of Vinny Ward spins amongst heavy traffic in turn one with Brad Loyet narrowly avoiding a harsh meeting with the turn one retaining wall.
"A" Main Hard Charger: A.J. Bruns bounced back from the heat race incident to gain 12 positions by racing from 21st to ninth.

Pompeo uses Obama as foil in sweeping Middle East speech

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered a scathing rebuke of President Barack Obama's Middle East policy in Cairo on Thursday in an address that centered on exerting maximum pressure on Iran and doubling down on U.S. alliances with Sunni autocrats and Israel.
In establishing his own vision for the Middle East, Pompeo set up the Obama administration as a foil for what not to do, whether it was striking a landmark nuclear deal with Iran in 2015 or leaving Egypt's autocratic president, Hosni Mubarak, in the lurch during that country's protests in 2011.
"The United States has reasserted its traditional role as a force for good in this region," Pompeo told an audience at American University in Cairo. "We've learned from our mistakes."
The speech served as an explicit rebuttal of the address that Obama delivered in Cairo in 2009, extending an olive branch to Iran and calling for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In that address, Obama criticized Israel's settlement activity and underscored the suppression of political rights by Arab monarchies.
Pompeo's criticism of the Obama administration's "misguided" thinking included its hesitance to use military force and aggressively call out "radical Islam."
"Remember: It was here, here in this very city, another American stood before you," Pompeo said, referring to Obama. "He told you that radical Islamist terrorism does not stem from ideology. He told you 9/11 led my country to abandon its ideals, particularly in the Middle East."
It is unclear what Pompeo meant by the abandonment of "ideals," but Obama's speech did take a stand against the use of "torture" to interrogate terrorism suspects, as well as detentions at the U.S. prison facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In terms of calling out radical Islamists, Obama's address referred to the problem of "violent extremism" - a term that has been criticized by Republicans as an attempt to be "politically correct."
Pompeo's remarks prompted an immediate rebuttal from a group of mostly Obama administration officials, who called the address petty.
"That this administration feels the need, nearly a decade later, to take potshots at an effort to identify common ground between the Arab world and the West speaks not only to the Trump administration's pettiness but also to its lack of a strategic vision for America's role in the region and its abdication of America's values," the National Security Action group said in a statement.
Pompeo, by contrast, offered unconditional praise to Israel and credited countries such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for pushing back against Iranian aggression. He did not raise their human rights records, in particular the Saudi kingdom's killing and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October or the Bahrain government's suppression of its majority Shiite population.
Instead, he depicted those countries as victims of an Obama administration that was unwilling to stand proudly behind its allies. "The Trump administration has moved quickly to rebuild links among our old friends and nurture new partnerships," Pompeo said.
While Obama's 2009 address cautioned that the United States did not have the answers to all of the Middle East's "complex" problems, Pompeo castigated that approach as insufficiently prideful.
"The good news is this: The age of self-inflicted American shame is over, and so are the policies that produced so much needless suffering," Pompeo told an audience of Egyptian officials, diplomats and students.
Pompeo spoke amid confusion among U.S. allies over Trump's announced plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria immediately, a proclamation that was followed by remarks that the withdrawal will happen "slowly."
Pompeo said the United States would continue airstrikes in the region "as targets arise" and continue its mission of overseeing the full defeat of the Islamic State and the expulsion of Iranian forces from Syria, a job that analysts said would take much longer than an initial 120-day U.S. timeline for withdrawal.
U.S. officials say there is now no timeline for withdrawal.
Exerting pressure on Iran has been a cornerstone of the Trump administration's foreign policy. The president withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, and reimposed punishing sanctions on the Islamic Republic despite opposition from key European allies. Pompeo has repeatedly called the country the "leading state sponsor of terrorism."
"Iran does sponsor terrorism, but not the variety that tends to threaten the U.S. homeland," said Max Abrahms, a terrorism expert and author of the book "Rules for Rebels: The Science of Victory in Militant History."
Pompeo's outlook "is driven by his support for Israel," Abrahms said. "Iran poses a major terrorism threat to Israel, much less so the U.S. homeland."
To many of those listening, Pompeo appeared to have ignored decades of collective angst in the region toward the United States and its policies, seemingly rewriting historical perceptions.
"Clearly, when Pompeo insists that 'America is a force for good in the Middle East,' he's not thinking about a local audience at all, which generally associates American foreign policy as being responsible for invasion and occupation, of supporting autocracy and occupiers," tweeted H.A. Hellyer, a Middle East analyst with the Atlantic Council.
In his remarks, Pompeo also lauded the improvement in relations between Arab states, such as the United Arab Emirates, and Israel. But few Egyptians accept Pompeo's declaration that Arab attitudes toward Israel are changing. Most view Israel as an enemy that has usurped the rights and lands of Palestinians.
"In Egypt, we do not really talk about Iran," said Nouran Hassan, 23, a senior studying political science at American University of Cairo who was in the audience. "We don't consider it dangerous. For most ordinary Egyptians, Israel is their enemy ever since the 1950s."
Pompeo's visit to Cairo is part of a nine-country swing through the region designed to reassure Arab allies that the United States remains committed to the Middle East despite its planned withdrawal from Syria.
Earlier in the day, he met with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, a former general whom Trump has praised but critics have accused of committing human rights abuses. In his discussions with Egyptian officials, Pompeo said he discussed the need for the Sissi government to improve human rights and basic freedoms. But when asked whether there were any discussions about Americans being detained as well as thousands of political prisoners, Pompeo declined to provide specifics, saying only that "we talked about the full panoply of human rights issues."
Human rights activists said Pompeo was not forceful enough in his criticism of the Sissi government's abuses. They also expressed concern that Pompeo's strong support of Sissi and other Arab authoritarian leaders to fight terrorism could embolden their governments to commit more abuses.
"We know what that means," said Philippe Nassif, Amnesty International's advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa. "It means a tacit approval of tens of thousands of people swept under Sissi's regime in Egypt under the pretext of terrorism charges."

Jackson Morris, Director, Eastern Region, Climate & Clean Energy Program, at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), made the following statement:
"On the heels of joining a groundbreaking initiative to curb transportation-related emissions, Governor Wolf is yet again taking up the mantle of leadership to fight climate change. His bold agenda is the first in state history to slash greenhouse gas emissions and align with the Paris Agreement, capture new clean energy growth in electric vehicles and put Pennsylvanians to work while leading the way forward for a clean energy future. This is a victory for climate leadership and Pennsylvania is showing the nation how it's done."

Q: Syntax of semantic predicates in Antlr4 In What is a 'semantic predicate' in ANTLR3? Bart Kiers gives a very well overview about the different semantic predicates in Antlr3.
Too bad the syntax/semantics were seemingly changed in Antlr4, so this does not compile:
end_of_statement
    :   ';'
    |   EOF
    |   {input.LT(1).getType() == RBRACE}? =>
    ;

RBRACE
    : '}'
    ;

Could someone please tell me how to do the third case of end_of_statement: Accept if the next token is a '}' but do not consume it.

A: There is now just a single type of semantic predicates, which looks like this:
{ <<boolean-epxression>> }?

And the input attribute from the abstract class Parser (which your generated parser extends from) now has an underscore in front of it.
So, in your case, the following ANTLR v3 syntax:
{input.LT(1).getType() == RBRACE}? =>

would look like this in ANTLR v4:
{_input.LT(1).getType() == RBRACE}?

If you are in the hunt for a fine domain that your visitors will keep in mind, the .COM generic top-level domain is maybe your most excellent preference due to the fact that a number of people associate a site name with dot COM by default. If a person identifies the name of your site or business, but isn't definite about the extension of the domain, it is more possible that they will try the name with a dot COM in the end. You can effortlessly obtain such a domain through our company for any interval between 1 and 10 years, or if you have an already acquired one, you can transfer it over to us and we will renew it for the time interval you have picked once the transfer is finished. For security purposes, transfers are allowed provided that the domain is not locked and you have its EPP transfer code. Given the fact that we are partners with an ICANN-recognized registrar firm, we can provide better and faster services than any domain reseller.
Regardless of the fact that the top-level domain extension was designed for use by commercial entities when it was introduced in 1985, this rule was never insisted on. Any individual or body worldwide can secure such a domain, move it, correct its ID information, etc. The dot COM domain is Whois Privacy Protection-eligible, so everybody can keep secret their personal contacts from the public eye. Here, at AmtecHost, you can protect your .COM domain from identity theft at any time. Using our Hepsia Hosting Control Panel tool, you are able to manage your WHOIS information and domain records, acquire Whois Privacy Protection service, forward and park your domains, and much more.
Take advantage of AmtecHost's Domain Manager, which allows you to manage all of your .COM domains from just a single place! Using it, modifying your WHOIS information and the DNS settings of several domains at the same time will be as easy as pie. This outstanding domain name management tool can be found in our custom-made Web Hosting Control Panel.
And, to top it off, you'll be able to effortlessly control your domain names as well as your websites without ever having to go out of the Control Panel - when you have a hosting account with AmtecHost, that is.
