CNS O2 toxicity is manifested most profoundly by generalized motor convulsions. The hypothesis was tested that HBO2 triggers seizures by an excitatory to inhibitory neurotransmitter imbalance produced by neuronal nitric oxide (NO) activity. Anesthetized rats were exposed to 5 ATA HBO2 for 75 min with or without prior inhibition of nNOS. Interstitial NO and amino acids: aspartate (Asp), glutamate (Glu) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were determined in the striatum by microdialysis coupled with HPLC. Blood flow and EEG in the same striatal region were measured simultaneously. Rats treated with 7-NI showed no EEG spikes of O2 toxicity, while seizure latency for untreated rats was 63 +/- 7 min. Significant increases in NO metabolites and blood flow were observed in control rats before seizures. HBO2 did not change Glu significantly and increased Asp slightly whereas GABA decreased progressively by 37 +/- 7%. Pretreatment with 7-NI led to a significantly smaller decline in GABA. Overall, the simplified excitotoxicity index Glu/GABA increased significantly after 60 min of HBO2 in control but fell in rats treated with 7-NI. We conclude that HBO2-stimulated neuronal NO production promotes an imbalance between glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic function implicated in the genesis of oxygen-induced seizures.


My 2 girls just turned 5 and 12 last month and I am so proud for the both of them. They have brought much happiness and joy in our family and I am so thankful for giving me and my husband these two beautiful girls.
Although I am not a perfect mom, I'm trying to be there for them as much as I could, to guide them and to help them in any way I can. I will always thank the Lord for them and will always pray for their protection, for safety, guidance, good health and happiness because that's a mom's (or a parents') biggest wish.
I have always thought of reinventing our kitchen because I want to prepare and cook food comfortably. I can live with a tiny space but the arrangement is quite confusing. Our cupboards or cabinets need to be changed because it didn't work well with the area, even the color didn't blend well. Thanks to ovisonline.com, the site I found online because it gave me an idea how to make our kitchen look good.
Now, I'm quite excited as to what will I purchase first. I just can't wait to rearrange and make our kitchen a good new look!

Fast forward to the 8 Towns era: Andy Hoyle in his early role as Head of News (1989-91), compiling bulletins on the infamous
Newsroom 'Ledge'... a precarious place for anyone over 5ft tall! Andy went on to be a versatile presenter of music, request and magazine shows and was one of the creative team who produced the 8 Towns comedy show Sunday Express
News-hounds in the early days of Heartbeat Radio (1983-84): Vinay Adatia and Mike Wallbank.
The weekly news round-up was a regular feature from the launch of Heartbeat Radio and through most of the 8 Towns era. Fast forward to now, listeners across the borough on 103.6FM and online at tamesideradio.com can hear Mike looking back through the archives every Sunday afternoon (1pm-3pm).
Newsround Tameside
...now and then!
8 Towns Radio, at Tameside Hospital... keeping you in touch with the latest local and national headlines
Here is the news...


Typo of the day, found on a student recital program: Puccini's O Mio Babino Casio .
I suppose this would be the aria in which a love-struck robot pleads her father, an electronic keyboard, to let her marry the machine of her dreams.
Hee. One of my friends sent me this link, and music geek that I am, I simply had to share it with the world: Tales from Band Camp.
Whee! For once, AOL seems to have done something right: they're offering some of the more popular Super Bowl ads from this year's game in downloadable QuickTime format on their website, with no subscription required.
Shame they don't have the Fed Ex Cast Away ad or Budweiser's canine dreadlocks or zebra ref, though. Maybe Ifilm's Superbowl page will post those, and maybe they'll be in a downloadable form…although I wouldn't count on it.
UPDATE [11:06 pm]: Yet another site, Advertisement Avenue, has posted some of the Super Bowl ads in RealVideo form. However, these stream via HTTP, so if you feel competent enough, you can fiddle around with your download manager's settings and save the clips to disk if you want.
Interesting link, via Memepool: Jim O'Connor of the Cuss Control Academy suggests that we all try to clean up our language in public situations just a bit— while admitting that there is nonetheless a certain time and a place for expletives, something with which I tend to agree.
Happy Stupid Day from all of us RinkWorks fans… Be sure to enjoy the new Computer Stupidities and Things People Said.
The phone number of the beast?
A small Christian college in Kentucky wants to change its phone number. Why? Quite simple, really: the current one starts in 666.
Apparently the student in question didn't realize that sending out a message to approximately one tenth of the entire Mercer population (only the surnames A through C would fit into the recipient list), using Mercer's address book server, was not, in fact, a good idea. The list of recipients was over 70kb in size— larger, in fact, than the actual text of the message!
Yes, the list of recipients included, among others, several members of the technical support staff, several computer science and engineering professors, and even the editor of the school newspaper. Ouch.
And if that weren't enough, all Mercer user names are in the format lastname_f. Which means that it's very obvious who the sender was from the username alone, and as a result, very easy for students and faculty to find the sender's room number and phone number in the campus phone directory.
Satire for the ADD crowd?
Heh. From the popular satirical web site BBspot: Bush Administration's Bright Shiny Object Fascinates Americans.
The Merced (Calif.) Sun-Star reported on Dec. 10 that an unnamed man was taken to a hospital in Modesto, Calif., after his head was split open by a brick. Police, called to the scene, were expecting to find foul play, but witnesses said the man was merely trying to see how high up he could throw a brick, and since it was dark (2:30 a.m.), the man lost track of the brick's flight and could not get out of the way when it came down on his head. Police said alcohol appeared to be involved.
The lesson, of course, should be obvious to all RinkWorks fans.


Shower doors or showers screens are those thin partition 'walls' that set the boundary between toilet and bathing sanctuary. Although contemporary designers want the transition to be smooth – sometimes almost invisible -, the delimitation has its benefits too. Firstly, it offers privacy. Just imagine how comfortable your prolonged bathings would be while exposed to your partner lying in bed. Secondly, it makes the environment a lot functional. You opt for an open plan bathroom and you want to forget about doors and lockers. Great! Only that you have to take care your daily activities will continue with no stress. Splashing all over and then preparing for the best makeup in the same place is not going to work. Thirdly, it enhances luminosity. If you benefit from natural light in the bathroom, then glass showers doors or screens will make the interior even brighter. Explore our collection and pick what fits in your home!
For more privacy, translucent or patterned glass is a popular option. This glass has a design that is silk-screened (painted) onto the glass before being heated during the tempering process. This permanently adheres the pattern to the glass for durability. The outsiders cannot see into the enclosure. The patterns also provide an added decorative element that helps the door blend easily with the overall design.
They are available in a wide variety of materials and systems: frameless, pivoting, sliding. Those that slide can be fixed on the shower pan or tile apron and generally include two panels of glass. Both glide from right to left offering access to the showering area from either side.
If you do not have space to install a tub or simply because you are not a big fan of it, then a walk-in shower is the solution. How large are walk-in showers? Normal sizes include 48-inch and 60-inch enclosures. However, customer installations can be any size depending on the space and design preferences involved.
Do I need a shower enclosure?
Definitely, yes. This is a watertight structure with enclosing walls, a draining floor and door or open access way. Are concerned about the models? They are available in a wide range of products. The most popular shower enclosures are tubs that feature showering capabilities. What type of shower doors should be used? We see a lot of walk-in showers that can use either sliding glass panels or pivoting panels that function like regular doors.
Bathroom in bedroom? Why not! A divider will help you separate the areas without causing headaches. The one above features a translucent glass screen that slides from both sides. Thus, the area is aesthetically pleasant from every perspective.
Is visibility a challenge? Yes, indeed. If you want to enjoy natural light and serene landscapes then generous, maybe floor to ceiling windows, are needed. However, pay attention to neighbours. Make sure you install the tub in a place that has visibility, but also privacy. Tips? Climbing plants, large pots with tall flowers, screens etc. I love natural light and the beautiful effects it creates inside.
My favourite spot: wooden flooring and a vintage white tub! Paired with a silvery chandelier, the tub becomes a place for relaxation and pampering. The shower installed near the wall, in an area featuring a wide transparent glass screen and white metro tiles. This is a great mix! A contemporary look with vintage elements that add personality to the space.


Sunny southern California is where I grew up and currently live. It is home to me, my husband and my two children.
While attending Fullerton College in the early 1990's, I took art history, painting and drawing classes. It was at that time I knew I had a passion for acrylic brush painting.
My paintings focus on bold colors and clean lines. Some of my paintings focus on a simple subject and others tell more of a story. Most of my pieces are inspired by my travels and by the beautiful surroundings in which I live. A few of my works do have more of a contemporary theme. I paint in a realistic/impressionistic style. Acrylic paints are my medium of choice. Much of my work on canvas is created with a constant blend of bright acrylic color.
I believe each piece of artwork should be a challenge for me to create. It is a necessity to have to think through every brush stroke, color blend, composition and subject matter. Taking a painting from an empty white canvas to something unique and captivating is best feeling on earth! Art is a great communicator...everyone sees it differently. This is the inspiration that keeps me painting until my fingers ache.
I'll start by saying that art has always been a part of my life. From a young age, I knew that I was more artistically inclined and that drawing/painting came to me a bit easily. After my attendance at Fullerton College in the early 1990's, I briefly pursued my love for acrylic brush painting. Life after college, however, did slow down my artistic endeavors. I "grew up", married my high school sweetheart, and had two fabulous girls. Once my girls were older, I decided to get back into my passion for painting.
I'm pleased to say that I have been in several live galleries, and online juried exhibitions. Some of my pieces have been awarded. I have had works published in artists magazines. My paintings have been sold to private collectors, some who have commissioned me to paint additional pieces for them. There is no better compliment.

Project Indy
Curriculum Access
build skills.
Learn more about how your organization can help Indy job seekers become job ready.
JRI Badges are now earned online!
The new rendition of Job Ready Indy has launched and is fully accessible
to Marion County providers and participants online on EmployIndy's Learning Hub.
The original in-person JRI curriculum has been archived and no longer leads to a JRI badge. Providers can still use the activities and discussions from the original in-person JRI curriculum as supplemental materials to support their participant's online learning experience, but the in-person content will not lead to a badge.
As of July 1st, 2022, only the online JRI curriculum will be available for participants to earn JRI badges. They will need to complete the virtual courses and earn a 70% or higher on each badge's corresponding assessment.
JRI is currently only available to organizations and residents located in Marion County, Indiana. Organizations not located in Marion County seeking to offer JRI to participants are not able to become a JRI provider at this time. Knowing that there is a demand, we are working to make the content accessible in the near future.
Keep check back in or fill out this form to be added to the waitlist!
Job Ready Indy is now for everyone.
The online Job Ready Indy curriculum expands the scope of employability skill enhancement beyond the original, in-person programming, elevating the imperative of professional development in career sustainability for providers and clientele, alike.
Not only does JRI prepare workers with the fundamental skills they need to enter the workforce, but each JRI badge offers the opportunity for seasoned employees to further both their professional and personal dexterity, a combination of career skills that are coveted in today's world of work.
The online JRI badges build off each other to craft a comprehensive foundation of self-awareness. The curriculum explores different aspects of individual perception, from personal strengths and skillsets to distinctive work styles and time management. JRI now guides participants in distinguishing their abilities and ambitions while also identifying areas in need of improvement, providing objective insight into the development of their professional selves.
No matter how much experience one may have in the workforce, the new, virtual version of JRI helps workers of all levels to fortify the skills they need to advance their professional portfolios and take their careers to the next level.
What are the steps to my organization being able to offer JRI to participants online?
1. Complete the Provider Inquiry Form
This will automatically send an email with instructions on how to complete the JRI Data Terms & Conditions course. The course will need to be completed by a staff member who can agree to the terms & conditions on behalf of your organization.
2. Authorized Signer Completes the JRI Data Terms & Conditions Course
Your organization's authorized signer completes the online JRI Data Terms & Conditions Course, guiding them through the design of the curriculum, data collection within the Learning Hub, and submission of the names and email addresses of those staff members who need to be trained on the content in order to offer it to participants.
3. Staff Members Complete the JRI Trainer Certification Course
Those staff members whose names and emails are submitted by the authorized signer in the JRI Data Terms & Conditions course, will receive a link to the JRI Trainer Certification course, required for all staff members who will be utilizing the JRI curriculum with participants. This course will walk staff members through the participant experience, tracking course progression and completion, and the available in-person content that complements the online learning of JRI.
4. Trained Staff Members Gain Access
Once a staff member has completed the JRI Trainer Certification course, they receive an email within five (5) business days that includes:
an unique registration link created to be shared with only that organization's participants;
a link to a Media toolkit with: email template to assist in enrolling participants, flyers, and a social media guide; and
access to copies all six of the JRI Badge courses so the trainer can review and prepare for supporting participants as they take the courses.
5. Start Enrolling Participants
The organization is now set to start offering badges to participants!
1. My organization is a Certified JRI Provider already and we offered the original in-person JRI content. My staff completed the in-person and/or virtual Train-the-Trainer sessions with Ashley prior to February 2022.
Do we have to sign the JRI Data Terms & Conditions and complete the JRI Trainer Certification course in the Learning Hub?
Yes. The new online version of JRI is just different enough in content and in delivery that all organizations, no matter their previous involvement with JRI will need to sign the JRI Data Terms & Conditions as well as have all staff members they expect to lead JRI sessions complete the JRI Trainer Certification course. This will ensure all parties understand the scope of the online content and data being collected and how to best utilize it.
2. Can I still do in-person activities with my participants?
Yes! In-person activities have been created to walk alongside the online content. It has been developed to be delivered in small groups or in 1-on-1 settings. The in-person activities are not required, but do help deepen participants' understanding of the skills covered online. It is important to note that participants earn badges by completing the online content and assessments. The in-person activities are just supplemental to the online learning experience. For the purpose of supporting their participant's online learning, providers can even utilize activities from the original in-person JRI curriculum.
3. Do I have to submit the Monthly Participant Roster Report?
You do not!
As of July 1st, 2022 the original in-person JRI content has been archived and no longer leads to participants earning a badge. It can continue to be used as supplemental content, but as of July 1st the only way participants can earn JRI badges will be through the online content. EmployIndy's Learning Hub automatically collects all participant data, beginning in the registration process and monitored throughout participants' course engagement.
Providers will have Team Lead access to EmployIndy's Learning Hub, allowing your organization to directly monitor participants' course progression and completion.
4. Personalized Pace on a Variety of Devices.
Computer and mobile device-friendly, the new JRI can be taken on the go, in a library, at school, a local community center, or from the comfort of a participant's home.
5. JRI Badges are digitally and automatically awarded.
Participants register with your organization's unique registration link and complete the online JRI courses, earning badges as they have time. Badges earned automatically display on their Learning Hub profile, their Project Indy profile (if they have one), and can also be downloaded in a Learning Hub transcript to be shared out.
6. I am a trainer with two organizations that would like to use JRI with participants. Do I have to complete the JRI Trainer Certification course twice?
While each organization will need to complete the Provider Inquiry Form and the JRI Data Terms & Conditions course in order to receive their unique participant registration link, trainers only need to complete the JRI Trainer Certification course one time.
When the second organization completes the JRI Data Terms & Conditions, they will submit the names and email addresses of their staff who will be trainers for them, noting which staff members have already completed the online JRI Trainer Certification course in the past. This will give the staff member who has already been trained access to the second organization's registration link without having to complete the training for a second time. The staff member can expect to be given access within a week's time.
7. My organization already offers JRI online, we have new staff members that need to be trained to lead JRI with participants. How do we get them signed up for the JRI Trainer Certification course?
Sign into the Learning Hub and select the JRI Trainer Certification course. Click on Lesson 11 - Submit Additional Trainers and complete the form. The staff members you submit will receive an email within a few hours giving them instructions on how to complete the JRI Trainer Certification course.
8. What if I am already trained, and I start a new position with a new organization?
If that organization is already a JRI Provider, they would just need to complete the steps in the answer above (#7) to have you added to their organization's account.
If that organization does not already offer JRI, they would need to submit a Provider Inquiry Form to get started. Your name and email address would be submitted during the process of the organization completing the JRI Data Terms & Conditions course, and they would note that you have already been trained. Your access would be granted without having to take the JRI Trainer Certification course for a second time.
9. How do I remove staff members who have left our organization from our organization's account so they no longer have access?
The authorized signer for your organization receives an email after they complete the JRI Data Terms & Conditions course that includes a link to remove staff members as a Team Lead from the organization's account. You can also reach out to support by submitting this form to request access to be removed.
10. I already have an account with the EmployIndy Learning Hub but need to get certified as a JRI Trainer. Do I need to register again with the Learning Hub?
Use the registration link sent to you via email to register for the Learning Hub and your existing account will gain access to the JRI Trainer Certification course. After completing this registration form, it will redirect you to the Resource Library registration form. If you already have a Resource Library account, you should not complete this form again.
11. My organization would like to become a JRI provider, but we are not located in Marion County, Indiana. Can we still make this happen?
While we are not currently able to provide access to JRI for those organizations and/or participants outside of Marion County, Indiana, please know we are working hard behind the scenes to do so in the near future. We understand that many organizations and school districts are seeking reputable and easy-to-adopt curriculum to support the growth of their youth and meet specific criteria in regard to employability skill development and standards. While it is not possible to grant access at this time, look for an announcement early summer 2023 for developments on this front. You can fill out this interest form to be added to our mailing list for the announcement! If you would like to connect now for more information contact us at jobreadyindy@employindy.org.
I missed tHE JRI INformation Session! Is there a recording I can watch?
On February 15th, over 60 representatives from 45 organizations joined EmployIndy for an information session as JRI officially moved online. If you were not able to join us, you can still hear all about the evolution of the JRI content in the video below.

The Gardeners Cottage play house measures 10ft wide x 8 ft 6 ins deep which includes 2'6 ft verandah. Cleverly created with one elevation based on a playhouse theme whilst the front of the building has the appearance of a summer house and benefits from a full height door, making it ideal for storage of garden furniture & children's toys.


A sauna on skis and 11 other dwellings made to move.
– The Nomad Sauna, built on a lake in Norway, is transported on skis and comes with an internal ice hole for (quick) plunges into the freezing water below.
– The Zendome allows campers to drift along the water in style.
The premium for living on the water isn't as high it used to be. Homes along the water sold for a 36% premium in the first quarter of 2018, according to a new Zillow® analysis. The extra cost for waterfront living is at its lowest level since the second quarter of 2002, and below the average premium since 1996 of 41%.
My comment: I lived in waterfront homes for over 25 years (estuaries of San Francisco Bay. They vary quite a bit, which is not in the databases used by Zillow. I lived in one across a narrow estuary from a scrap yard. Another had a wide estuary view but the house was set back from the water by a large rear yard so the view was not very wide. Boat dock size is often a big deal also.
My comment: Good list of the different AVMs that are available online for free. I wish AVMs would publish some sort of reliability/accuracy statistical info. As we all know, AVMs are best in conforming tracts less than 10 years old and goes downhill after that, but most people don't know this.

When there is a market with multiple offers way over list, I call them "Auction Prices".
Recently, a real estate agent asked me how appraisers were doing with "low appraisals" (while I was on the weekly open house tour to see listings and get a free lunch). I get this question frequently. First, I disclose that I have not appraised for lenders since 2005, but I do remember periods of big price increases with multiple offers in the past.
I explained that appraisers use market value (most probable sales price), not the highest possible price. (This definition changed in the late 1980s but I seemed to be the only one at that time who thought it made a big difference in value.) Sometimes highest price is used, such as eminent domain appraisals.
– One sale does not make a market. If there was a home you wanted your whole life that was available for purchase, you would pay whatever it cost. Or, you had been overbid 10-15 times and wanted really badly to finally buy a house.
– There is a bell shaped price curve from low to high. The top of the curve is the most probable price. The right side is the highest possible price. The left side is the lowest possible price.
– If you want to get your deal to close, help the appraiser as much as possible – find listings, pendings sales similar to the subject. Especially useful are pending sales if you know if it went way overlist or not. You make a lot of money as compared with the appraiser who is working for an AMC.
– Always meet the appraiser at the house, to answer any questions, hold "dumb end of tape", be "nice".

Listen to Maggie Hambleton, ASB Chair, and John Brenan, Director of Appraisal Issues at the Foundation, as they discuss the proposed changes in the First Exposure Draft for the 2020-21 USPAP (Recorded on June 8, 2018).
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 11, 2018) – Mortgage applications increased 2.5 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending July 6, 2018. This week's results included an adjustment for the Fourth of July holiday.
The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, increased 2.5 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 18 percent compared with the previous week. The Refinance Index decreased 4 percent from the previous week to its lowest level since December 2000. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index increased 7 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 15 percent compared with the previous week and was 8 percent higher than the same week one year ago.
The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to its lowest level since August 2008, 34.8 percent of total applications, from 37.2 percent the previous week. The adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) share of activity decreased to 6.3 percent of total applications.
The FHA share of total applications decreased to 10.0 percent from 10.2 percent the week prior. The VA share of total applications increased to 11.3 percent from 10.7 percent the week prior. The USDA share of total applications remained unchanged at 0.8 percent from the week prior.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($453,100 or less) decreased to 4.76 percent from 4.79 percent, with points increasing to 0.43 from 0.41 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value ratio (LTV) loans. The effective rate decreased from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with jumbo loan balances (greater than $453,100) decreased to 4.68 percent from 4.71 percent, with points decreasing to 0.24 from 0.43 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate decreased from last week.

Contanda
With a stronger focus on hydrocarbons and petrochemicals, recently rebranded Contanda hopes to create a new legacy in the liquid storage space
Companies have relied on Contanda's reliable liquid storage solutions for more than 70 years. "We are part of our customers' supply chain," President and CEO Jerry Cardillo says. "We are the logistics optimizers. We are part of the value chain that makes them either more efficient or less efficient."
Contanda is a critical link that holds together clients' supply networks. The company provides custom-built storage tanks, filtration, in-tank blending, and import and export services, among others. Each solution is developed specifically for that customer to ensure it meets their operational needs. Whether it is developing a specific blending process or operating a terminal 24/7 so that trucks can deliver overnight when there is less congestion, Contanda prides itself on offering flexible services. "We're customizing down to the terminal and the customer," Cardillo says.
Even as it undergoes a rebranding and adjusts its capabilities to better serve the petrochemical market, Contanda promises not to lose sight of the customer services values that made it a leader in the liquid storage space.
Brand Transition
Contanda began in 1940 as Industrial Molasses Co., a family-owned molasses-trading business, before being purchased by ED&F Man. In 2009, ED&F Man took the business public as Westway Terminals. Three years later, European private equity group EQT purchased Westway Terminals and took it private, setting the stage for the latest evolution of the company.
It began with a name change that signaled a new direction for the company. Westway Terminals announced in 2016 that it would become Contanda.
When rebranding, companies often search for a name that evokes inspiration or ties into one of their values. But with "Contanda," its insignificance was an asset. Cardillo had three primary goals in selecting a new brand: a word that wasn't already in use as a domain name, something that could be represented in three syllables or less and something that had an inspired, sharp logo. "I just wanted a name that meant nothing when you Googled it," Cardillo says. "I want to look back on Google and say, 'Five years ago this name meant nothing and now it really means something.'"
The team looked through about 400 names before settling on "Contanda." "Contanda felt totally unique," Cardillo says.
The name change allows Contanda to forge a new path as a leader in bulk liquid storage. The company has long provided liquid storage solutions for specialty chemicals, acids, base oils, molasses and fertilizers, but it sees an opportunity to expand its existing customer base in the energy market by increasing its capacity for substances such as biodiesel fuel. "We wanted to branch out our product lines and get more focus on hydrocarbons and petrochemicals," Cardillo explains.
The shift toward the energy and petrochemical markets will require Contanda to increase the number of products it supports. Currently, the company does not handle most kinds of diesel, gasoline and various petrochemicals such as ethanol, but Cardillo believes it will offer storage solutions in each of those areas in the future. "We're going in the direction where we see growth and potential," he says.
Contanda's push for the petrochemical market comes during a period of reduced investment in the domestic energy market. The abundance of natural gas has depressed oil prices and forced companies to rethink their strategies. Simultaneously, the rise of hybrid and electric vehicles has decreased demand for gasoline. As a result, Cardillo believes most of the demand for hyrdocarbons will come from overseas.
With 7 million barrels of storage capacity across 15 terminals primarily located near major ports, Contanda is well positioned to serve that need. The company is also planning to build new facilities that will have multiple ship docks and include pipe connections into the market, allowing it more flexibility to provide export access for liquids to other countries.
Moving Operations
Even before it changed its name last year, Contanda had begun to leave behind its legacy as Westway Terminals. The business had long been centered in New Orleans, where the ED&F Man offices are located. But Contanda realized that if it wanted to make real gains in the hydrocarbon and petrochemicals market it needed to go where the customers are located.
Contanda already operated three terminals in Houston with a combined 3 million barrels of capacity – representing 40 percent of the company's total storage space. The Texas city is the center of the energy industry, with ample available office space and a strong workforce to hire from, so it made sense for the company to select it as its new headquarters in 2016.
Beyond moving its offices, Contanda is already expanding its presence and capabilities in Houston. In November, the company acquired Inbesa America Inc., a private steel terminal based in Houston with a strong focus on rebar. Although Inbesa America specializes in steel, its assets and capabilities made it an attractive complement to Contanda's efforts in liquid storage. "We would like to grow that business and expand our footprint in liquids combined," Cardillo says. "It's been a very interesting acquisition for us and a good one."
Houston represents perhaps the largest opportunity for growth, but Contanda is not neglecting its other facilities. Cardillo says its terminals in Stockton, Calif., Baltimore and Grays Harbor, Wash., could all see significant expansions in the coming years.
Any upgrades at those facilities are likely to include automation, an increasingly important focal point for Contanda. Select terminals are already automating some functions such as work order processing, tank inventory levels, blending and truck loading. Cardillo sees it as part of the company's future. "We're working on technology every day," Cardillo says. "I have to differentiate ourselves from our competition and I think technology allows us to do that."
Technology plays a key role in Contanda's efforts to expand its presence in the energy market, but equally important are the people guiding that technology and forming relationships with the clients. Those employees are being relied upon to elevate their skill sets to serve a new customer base. "The hydrocarbon and petrochemical space is different than the space we're in today and it's going to require a different diligence level," Cardillo says.
"It's a great opportunity to transform our company into a premier player in the business world," he adds.


Check out the best plays from Western Conference All-Star reserve Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers.
NEW YORK — Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has been named by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace injured Western Conference All-Star forward Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 15, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Lillard, who will appear in his second All-Star Game after making his debut last year, ranks 13th in the NBA in scoring (21.6 ppg) and 15th in assists (6.3 apg). He also leads the league in fourth-quarter scoring (311 points) and is sixth in three-pointers made (129), helping Portland to a Northwest Division-best 34-17 record. Lillard is joined on the West team by Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, an All-Star for the fourth consecutive season, giving Portland the same two players selected to back-to-back All-Star Games for the first time since Maurice Lucas and Bill Walton in 1977 and 1978.
Golden State head coach Steve Kerr, who earned the right to coach the West team because the Warriors had the best record in the conference through games played Feb. 1, will determine Griffin's replacement in the starting lineup.
The 64th NBA All-Star Game, airing on TNT at 8 p.m. ET, will be seen by fans in 215 countries and territories and will be heard in 47 languages. TNT will televise the All-Star Game for the 13th consecutive year, marking Turner Sports' 30th year of NBA All-Star coverage.

Q: New to J2EE - Hosting a Spring MVC based project using Tomcat 7 server on local dev machine (no Eclipse) I am familiar with Java as a language but not JSP and Spring framework. I am trying to load an existing project and using vim as my IDE.
Originally, when working on it using eclipse, I installed openjdk7-jdk, downloaded the tomcat7 server from its website and extracted to a location, imported project in current workspace, set up the tomcat for server environment. I was able to see the application in browser.
I am looking for a way to use vim, installing tomcat from official repos and then either set up a new host for this application or adding a context for the same. I have tried both the ways but still not able to make it work. I get the tomcat standard 404 error page.
This answer here says that this may work if I create a .war file and place it in the webapps folder. Is this the only way to run a spring based application?
After working in ASP.Net, ROR, Django, I am assuming Java also has similar deployment structure.

A: One thing is that Tomcat is not required for spring based applications. But if you are implementing J2EE application on Tomcat, make sure you have Spring context defined in your webapps web.xml (inside WEB-INF directory).
The Spring Application context must be initialized through your ServletContextListener implementation.

A: Oups, seems there a long way to heaven ... More seriously you must pass by several steps (that a nice IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans can hide from you) :

*

*create the source files for the application - you spoke of vim it can be used for that step

*compile and build the application to a .war - this step is almost mandatory but i would not dare avoid it as I explain below - you can use low level tools like javac but you really should use ant or maven here ; if you are lucky, there is already a pom.xml (maven) or build.xml (ant) in the sources

*deploy the war to a tomcat

In theory, it should be possible to individually compile the java file into .class, build a full hierarchy by hand and put that manually in webapps folder of tomcat. But never do that - or at least never say that I adviced you to do it :-)

To End Homelessness in LA: Vote Yes on Prop HHH November 8
Homelessness has been increasing in our city and county year by year. It has spread outward from its confines in Downtown's Skid Row throughout the county. There are now 28,000 homeless people in the city and 46,000 in the county as a whole. Tent camps are springing up in alleys, under freeway bridges, in empty lots, and on street corners everywhere. This is a human misery crisis for those living this life, a public health and livability crisis for everyone else. Only a major redirection of resources can stop this unacceptable situation from growing worse.
Short-term shelters, though they are of great value in providing beds and often meals, have little or no effect in reducing the numbers on the street. The one proven method, in many cities, is permanent supportive housing. This means some kind of small housing units, backed up with on-site professional case management. Some 90% of homeless who have received such housing in other cities remain off the streets two years later.
This requires big time money. But it has been proven to be much cheaper than leaving the homeless on the streets. In 2015, the city of Los Angeles spent $100 million on police, jails, Sanitation, and emergency health services directed toward the homeless, with no effect in reducing their numbers.
Our November ballot, among the 24 other measures, includes Proposition HHH, which would issue bonds in the amount of $1.2 billion for the construction or purchase of units that can house 10,000 of the homeless. The construction and acquisition would take place over 10 years and be paid for with a modest increase in property taxes – averaging $9.64 per $100,000 of home value. This is based on assessed value, which is usually much lower than actual market rate.
The ballot is unusually long, and many voters may not be prepared to vote on a lot of the measures. It is important that they do find Prop HHH.
Proposition HHH appears on the last page of the ballot, the first of 4 measures under the heading CITY.
Funding measures require a two-thirds majority to pass (67%). Ppoll are giving HHH a comfortable margin, but that depends on people actually filling in their mail ballots or going to the polls on election day. If Prop HHH fails, things will actually get worse. This year the city committed an extra $100 million to combat homelessness. This was a one-time allocation. Once gone, if HHH fails, things will be worse than they are now.
The game plan to end homelessness
Proposition HHH is restricted to investment in physical properties. The 10,000 units it will construct or remodel are aimed mainly at the chronically homeless (80% of the new units must include on-site case management). These homeless are the most visible: the occupants of street camps. Most are mentally ill, substance addicted, or disabled. Permanent supportive housing requires on-site case management to stabilize this difficult population. Those costs must be in addition to the buildings. They are to be covered by Los Angeles County.
In the big picture, about 156,000 people are homeless in LA County for part of each year. Most are rehoused in about 3 to 4 months. The hardcore remain.
About 25,000 units of permanent supportive house are needed for the currnetly chronic homeless; 9,000 already exist. The city's part of the need is a little under 10,000 units, the point of Proposition HHH.
The county shoulders the rest. Its job is to provide mental and physical health services for the long-term homeless, but also rapid rehousing for the larger number of temporarily homeless, who are capable of functioning on their own once they get past this tough spot in their lives. In total, the county has to come up with about $1.4 billion for its part of the job. It has some of these funds. The remainder are expected to be raised by a quarter-cent increase in the sales tax, to appear on the March 2017 ballot.
On the Prop HHH housing, costs are running around $420,000 per individual unit, with a three-to-five-year lead time from initiation to completion. Much of this delay is tied up in approvals. Developers are private companies, both profit and nonprofit. They must acquire the land and plan approvals before they are eligible for any Los Angeles subsidies or tax credits. Most projects limit themselves to 49 units or less, as anything larger triggers an environmental impact review, which can add two years to completion time. This means there will be upwards of 200 projects, most of which will likely encounter local homeowner opposition. Everyone wants the homeless off the streets, but for most, not too near to where they live.
The city will fund each project roughly in the amount of $150,000 per unit. Another 65% of funding comes in the form of federal tax credits. The city has identified about 24 properties it owns that can be used for homeless housing.
Because of the vast number who are homeless part of the year, and the lag time for even rapid rehousing of the able majority, these investments are expected, at the end of the ten-year building program, to still leave about 14,000 people homeless in Los Angeles County at any one time. While the money looks large, $1.2 billion over ten years comes to $120 million on average in any one year. The city's 2016-2017 budget is $8.75 billion. The $120 million amounts to 1.4% of that amount.
New Regional Homelessness Advisory Council (RHAC) to Coordinate Countywide Homeless Policy
Los Angeles has a joint county-city agency to oversee the battle to end homelessness: the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The intractability of the problem led city and county authorities at the beginning of 2016 to look for a format that would expand LAHSA's connections to the many players in the city and county whose resources or expertise can contribute to solving the homeless crisis. These include mental health services, hospitals and clinics, the police, churches, businesses, schools, and the many public nonprofit and charitable groups that provide services of many kinds.
Both the city and county late last year developed detailed plans for combatting homelessness. Seeing the need for input from the myriad organizations outside of LAHSA, it was decided to create a 52-member Regional Homelessness Advisory Council, to be convened by LAHSA in collaboration with Home for Good, a multi-agency program run by the United Way.
The RHAC is to meet quarterly, and in turn select a smaller subcommittee, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care Board, to directly advise LAHSA on a more regular basis. The Los Angeles Continuum of Care is the whole of Los Angeles County except for Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach, which make their own arrangements on urban policy.
RHAC membership is to be very broad. It will have one representative each from major city departments such as Housing, Economic Development, the city Administrative Officer, and LAPD. The county will be heavily represented, with reps from the departments of Mental Health, Health Services, and Public Health, Children and Family Services, Public Social Services, as well as the Probation and Sheriff's departments.
Three seats will go to business organizations, two to faith-based groups, and two to philanthropic funders. Education will have representatives from LAUSD, UCLA, USC, and the LA Community College District. Two formerly homeless people will serve on RHAC.
Finally, each of the County's 8 Service Planning Areas (SPAs) will have one representative, except for SPA4, which includes Skid Row, which will have 2.
Selections of representatives are going on now. The 8 SPAs mostly have coalitions of service providers and concerned people. They will elect their representatives in November. The RHAC is supposed to have its first meeting in February 2017. It will choose the smaller LA Continuum of Care Board in April and May, and the LA CoC Board will begin to work with LAHSA in June.


New York State is one of the nation's most energy-aware states. Take for example the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. This public benefit corporation gives to the public not only information and analysis of the most pressing energy issues of the day, but also offers innovative programs, technical advice, funding, and lots more, to help citizens be as aware and energy-savvy as possible.
The NYSERDA has been in service of the people since 1975, creating and promoting solutions to protect the environment, save money, create clean energy jobs, and much more.
Here is a small sample of some of the programs NYSERDA offers to the public sector.
• Home energy efficiency programs– NYSERDA assesses home energy usage using contractors accredited by the Building Performance Institute. Home owners receive a list of recommendations for ways to improve energy efficiency, including improved insulation, efficient lighting, better heating systems, and more.
• Energy Star Certified Products– A product is eligible for an Energy Star endorsement when it meets or goes beyond the federal standards for energy efficiency, with no loss of product quality or performance. The Department of Energy determines these guidelines. Always look for the Energy Star when buying new appliances.
• EmPower New York– This program helps those who are eligible base on income, to upgrade their living spaces to more energy efficient dwellings, but without having to spend any of their own resources to do it. After the home or apartment is transformed into a more energy efficient abode, EmPower New York will send workers to provide tips and strategies on how to further manage energy usage every day.

The post-divorce return to work: Common concerns
On behalf of Steven J. Gaba posted in Divorce on Thursday, April 17, 2014.
The end of a Maryland marriage brings about a great many changes in the lives of all involved. For some parents who have made the choice to stay at home to raise their children, one of those changes may be an imminent return to work. Contemplating reentry into the workforce can bring about a heightened stress level during an already challenging time. Spouses should make an effort to alter the way that they think about this change, and focus on the positive aspects of heading back to work after their divorce.
One of the primary sources of concern involves anxieties about one's ability to "catch up" to the technological advancements that have been made since their departure from the workplace. Regardless of the career field, technology has brought about significant changes in the way that a workplace operates. However, technology has advanced in virtually all arenas of American life, and most individuals are far better at adapting to these changes than they may believe. In addition, there are a number of resources available to help workers brush up on the newest forms of technology that affect their job performance.
Another common fear involves anxieties about the changes in scheduling that will accompany a return to work. As stay-at-home parents, many moms and dads are able to exert a great deal of control over their daily schedule. We grow used to having the same daily routines, and build a level of comfort around knowing what to expect. A return to work can throw these routines into chaos. It is important to remember, however, that there will be new routines that follow these changes, and that it is still possible to fit in the things that are most important, even if one's post- divorce schedule looks completely different than it did before.
As with any big change, divorce can bring on a multitude of fears, many of which are based on the simple fear of the unknown. When it comes to going back to work, many of these anxieties will fade once a new routine is established and the individual becomes more confident about his or her role within the workplace. During the course of a Maryland divorce, it is important that spouses focus on making the best negotiation decisions possible, and do not allow these and similar fears to interfere with that process.
