Jones: Man Utd must aim higher than FA Cup
Dom Farrell
Manchester United v Wigan Athletic
Hull City v Manchester United
FA Cup glory was not enough for Louis van Gaal to keep his job last year and the defender believes the club's standards should remain high
Phil Jones insists Manchester United cannot rest on the laurels of reaching the EFL Cup final as they prepare to face Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Rooney: Success around the corner with Mourinho
United lost 2-1 on the night at Hull City but edged through to a Wembley place on aggregate in midweek.
It gives Jose Mourinho the chance to build on Louis van Gaal's FA Cup success last term and claim back-to-back showpiece final triumphs when his side take on Southampton next month.
But with a seemingly favourable path to the last-16 against the Latics next on the agenda, Jones knows United must keep pushing for success with their prospects of a top-four finish in the Premier League once again in the balance.
"It's not enough just to win a cup. We set our standards high and this club has a history of winning things," Jones told reporters, before recalling how last term was broadly considered a failure for United despite them managing to pick up a piece of silverware.
"We are under no illusions that we have no given right to win things, but winning the FA Cup is not enough.
"That result in midweek was not what we wanted. We are delighted to be through to the final and to go to Wembley, but we weren't happy with ourselves.
"That took the gloss off it a bit and it was a disappointed dressing room - but maybe when we look forward to the final it will be better.
"We know it wasn't good enough, especially in the first half. We had to dig deep, but we conceded another sloppy goal.
"It's a mark of how well we have done that we are so disappointed with that result.
"We set our standards high and we were proud of the unbeaten record we'd been on.
"It takes some character from players to go on an unbeaten run as long as that and to throw it away was disappointing. Personally, I was devastated by it."
Aside from competing for honours domestically, Jones hopes United can establish themselves as this season's cup specialists by having a tilt at the Europa League.
Tuanzebe staying grounded after Mourinho praise
"We're in every cup competition and there is no reason why we can't reach the Europa League final, too," he added, with Mourinho's men hosting Saint-Etienne next month.
"But we need good performances and everyone in the squad pulling in the right direction and battling for each other.
"The Europa League is a genuine target for us. We want to be in the Champions League, but if it's not to be we are still in Europe now and there are some good teams in the competition."

Turkey condemns US Congress resolution on purchase of Russian S-400 systems
Tue Jun 11, 2019 03:20PM
Turkey has condemned as "unacceptably threatening" a US House of Representatives resolution that slammed Ankara's purchase of advanced Russian-built S-400 air defense missile systems and urged sanctions on Washington's NATO ally over the acquisition of the military hardware.
"The bill passed through the US House of Representatives on June 10 does not comply with the rooted amity and alliance relations of Turkey and the US. It is not possible to accept the unfair and groundless claims of the bill about Turkey's foreign policy and judicial system," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement released on Tuesday.
The statement further noted it is an "unacceptable" decision, adding that using such a "menacing tone" is inadmissible.
"As we emphasize every time, the best way to allay the different point of views between allies goes through dialogue and respect for the countries' sovereign decisions," the statement underlined.
The US House of Representatives passed the bill entitled "Expressing concern for the United States-Turkey alliance" on Monday. The resolution is "non-binding," the Turkish Foreign Ministry's statement pointed out.
It underlined the importance of the allegiance between Washington and Ankara given Turkey's role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and urged Turkey to reverse its decision to buy Russian S-400 missile defense systems.
It also called for sanctions if Turkish officials continue with their plans to acquire the systems.
US officials announced on Monday that Washington had halted the training of Turkish pilots on F-35 fighters at Luke Air Force Base in the US state of Arizona.
"The department is aware that the Turkish pilots at Luke AFB are not flying," Air Force Lieutenant-Colonel Mike Andrews, a Pentagon spokesman, told Reuters news agency.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Turkish-language and nationwide Kanal 7 television network on May 5, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said US concerns as to Ankara's purchase of S-400 systems from Moscow were not reasonable and added that Turkey would not back down.
On April 24, Turkey Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his country will look elsewhere for an alternative to American F-35 fighter jets if Washington blocks the delivery of its advanced stealth warplanes to Ankara.
Moscow and Ankara finalized an agreement on the delivery of the S-400 in December 2017.
Back in April 2018, Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin said in Ankara that they had agreed to expedite the delivery of the S-400. At the time, it was said that the delivery could be made between late 2019 and early 2020.
A number of NATO member states have criticized Turkey for its planned purchase of the S-400, arguing the missile batteries are not compatible with those of the military alliance.
They also argue that the purchase could jeopardize Ankara's acquisition of F-35 fighter jets and possibly result in US sanctions.
The S-400 is an advanced Russian missile system designed to detect, track, and destroy planes, drones, or missiles as far as 402 kilometers away. It has previously been sold only to China and India.
Ankara is striving to boost its air defense, particularly after Washington decided in 2015 to withdraw its Patriot surface-to-air missile system from Turkish border with Syria, a move that weakened Turkey's air defense.
Before gravitating towards Russia, the Turkish military reportedly walked out of a $3.4-billion contract for a similar Chinese system. The withdrawal took place under purported pressure from Washington.

Der Halberstädter Kongress (auch Halberstadter Kongress) wurde vom 14. bis zum 18. März 1892 durch Delegierte von 57 Organisationen der freien Gewerkschaften in Halberstadt abgehalten. Ziel des Kongresses war die Neuorganisation der deutschen Gewerkschaftsbewegung nach dem Ende der Sozialistenverfolgung.

Teilnehmer

Das Deutsche Reich zählte im Jahre 1892 insgesamt 65 verschiedene Gewerkschaften, von denen 57 mit zusammen 172 Delegierten am Halberstadter Kongress teilnahmen. Diese 57 Gewerkschaften vertraten insgesamt 272.380 gewerkschaftlich organisierte Mitglieder. Hinzu kamen weitere 36 Delegierte verschiedener kleinerer Organisationen, die nochmals 31.130 Mitglieder vertraten.
Somit kamen insgesamt 208 Delegierte in Halberstadt zusammen, die die Interessen von mehr als 300.000 Arbeitern vertraten. Boykottiert wurde der Kongress unter anderem von den Gewerkschaften der Dachdecker, Ziegler, Stellmacher und Konditoren.
Als bedeutendster Teilnehmer gilt Carl Legien, der seit 1890 Vorsitzender der Generalkommission der Gewerkschaften Deutschlands war.

Inhalt und Verlauf des Kongresses
Nach der zwölfjährigen Verfolgung und Unterdrückung sozialistischer Organisationen durch das Bismarcksche Sozialistengesetz zwischen 1878 und 1890 waren öffentliche Aktivitäten der Gewerkschaften nicht möglich. Auf dem Halberstadter Kongress sollte nun über die Tätigkeit der Generalkommission berichtet und über die Organisationsfrage, also die künftige Struktur der deutschen Gewerkschaftsbewegung, entschieden werden.

Eröffnet wurde der Kongress durch Carl Legien. Dieser erklärte in seiner Eröffnungsrede, dass die Gewerkschaften des Deutschen Reiches allein nicht die Kraft hätten, eine eigene Lösung der Sozialen Frage herbeizuführen, aber gemeinsam mit den politischen Parteien effektiv für eine deutliche Verbesserung der Situation der Arbeiter kämpfen könnten. Er rief den Delegierten zu: "Gleich den Pionieren haben die Gewerkschaften den Boden zu ebnen für eine höhere geistige Auffassung und durch Erringung besserer Lohn- und Arbeitsbedingungen die Arbeiterklasse vor Verelendung und Versumpfung zu bewahren, um so die Massen der Arbeiter zu befähigen, die geschichtliche Aufgabe, welche dem Arbeiterstand zufällt, lösen zu können." Diese Einschätzung Legiens löste erhebliche Diskussionen über die Organisationsstruktur der deutschen Gewerkschaftsbewegung aus. Während die Lokalisten, mehrheitlich Vertreter der kleineren Organisationen, für eine Beibehaltung dezentraler Lenkungsstrukturen plädierten und gleichzeitig das Ende der Trennung zwischen parteipolitischer und gewerkschaftlicher Arbeiterbewegung anstrebten, strebten größere Gewerkschaften, wie die der Holzarbeiter und die der Metallarbeiter, nach einer zentralen Führung. Nach längerer Debatte wurde der Antrag der Lokalisten abgelehnt und der Entwurf der Gewerkschaft der Holzarbeiter, der deutlich zentralistisch geprägt war, mit Unterstützung der Gewerkschaft der Metallarbeiter angenommen. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass mehrere Delegierte der Lokalisten eine weitere Teilnahme am Halberstadter Kongress ablehnten und diesen unter Abgabe einer Protestnote verließen. Wissenschaftler werten die Ablehnung des Antrags der Lokalisten als klare Absage an den Syndikalismus.

Inhalt des erfolgreichen Entwurfs
Der oben beschriebene, erfolgreich verabschiedete Entwurf der Holzarbeiter erklärte "die Zentralorganisation als Grundlage der Gewerkschaftsorganisation" und forderte die Organisation der Gewerkschaften nach Berufsgruppen. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass Arbeiter in ein und derselben Fabrik je nach Berufszugehörigkeit Mitglied unterschiedlicher Gewerkschaften werden konnten.
Neben diesen grundsätzlichen Festlegungen übertrug der Kongress der Generalkommission als Zentralorgan der Gewerkschaftsbewegung konkrete Aufgaben. So sollte die Kommission in schwach organisierten Gegenden des Deutschen Reiches für die gewerkschaftliche Idee werben, internationale Verbindungen knüpfen, die Zusammenarbeit der einzelnen Gewerkschaften fördern und langfristig die gesetzliche Überwindung der Akkordarbeit anstreben. Die Einrichtung einer zentralen Streikunterstützungskasse wird der Zentralkommission jedoch entzogen und den Einzelgewerkschaften überlassen. Angesichts dieser Aufträge bezeichnete ein Delegierter die Zentralkommission als "mehr moralischen denn führenden Zusammenhalt" der Gewerkschaftsbewegung.

Spezialkongresse
Neben dem Hauptkongress fanden am 16. März 1892 in Halberstadt insgesamt elf Spezialkongresse von Einzelgewerkschaften statt. Hier wurden gewerkschaftsinterne Fragestellungen besprochen und individuell bedeutsame Entschlüsse gefasst. Eine Auflistung dieser Entschlüsse findet sich im Archiv der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.

Generalkommission
Nach den inhaltlichen Festlegungen wurde auch die Generalkommission neu gewählt. Vorsitzender wurde erneut Carl Legien. Des Weiteren gehörten der Kommission sechs weitere Mitglieder an, die allesamt aus Hamburg stammten. Darüber hinaus wurde Hamburg zum neuen Sitz der Kommission bestimmt.

Auswirkungen des Halberstadter Kongresses
Die Beschlüsse des Halberstadter Kongresses bestimmten das gewerkschaftliche Handeln bis in die Weimarer Republik hinein. Die Absage an die syndikalistische Revolutionspolitik führte dazu, dass sich radikal-sozialistische Vorstellungen und Organisationen parallel zu den gewerkschaftlichen und parteipolitischen Organisationen entwickelten und somit, vom marxistischen Standpunkt betrachtet, zu einer Schwächung der Kampfkraft der Arbeiterbewegung führten.

Zusätzlich führte die berufsständische Organisation der Gewerkschaftsbewegung dazu, dass die Schlagkraft einzelner Gewerkschaften deutlich verringert wurde. So zeigte ein Streik einer Einzelgewerkschaft in einer Fabrik mit zahlreichen Berufsgruppen beispielsweise nur geringe Wirkung, da Mitglieder anderer Gewerkschaften in der Regel ihre Arbeit fortsetzten.

Will extreme heat warnings in effect in 28 STATES affect the market for portable water chiller unit
Will extreme heat warnings in effect in 28 STATES affect the market for portable water chiller unit ?
As Biden refuses to declare a climate emergency, 100 million Americans are enduring searing temperatures
The National Weather Service is warning that extreme heat will affect more than 100 million people in the United States this week, with temperatures reaching triple digits in some states and temperature records breaking in many parts of the country.
"Temperatures will continue to be above normal across much of the United States through the weekend, with a significant portion of the population remaining under heat-related advisories and warnings," the agency said.
Heat warnings and advisories have been issued for 28 states, with central and southern states bearing the brunt of the heat.
Emergency medical services in Tulsa, Oklahoma, reported an increase in heat-related emergency calls this year. The city's Emergency Medical Services Authority says it has received nearly 250 calls this year, which usually don't go through until later in the summer.
"It's very concerning," the department's Adam Parka told CNN. "Especially because the number of patients being transported suggests that some of those calls were heatstroke, which can be fatal."
In the northeast, temperatures held steady above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius), and city leaders warned residents to limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
Philadelphia declared a "heat health emergency" on Thursday and set up a "hotline" number for residents experiencing the heat. Boston opened community centers and swimming pools as a place for residents to cool off.
"It is clear that climate change is a threat to our health," Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said on Wednesday. "I urge everyone to remain calm and safe, and check on your neighbors this week."
In Phoenix, the hottest city in the United States, an extreme heat warning was issued Thursday and Friday. Temperatures are expected to reach 113F (45C) on Thursday afternoon and 115F (46C) on Friday afternoon. Heat warnings are issued only when temperatures are above average for the year, and in Phoenix in July, that meant temperatures above 112F. So far this year, the city has broken or equal four daytime highs and nine nighttime lows.
The effects of heat are cumulative and bodies only begin to recover when temperatures drop below 80F. The heat wave that swept Europe and Asia this summer will become more intense and prolonged if the climate emergency is not addressed, climate scientists have warned. A study published in May showed that human influence on climate has made certain heat waves in South Asia 30 times more likely.
Speaking on the climate crisis in Somerset, Mass., On Wednesday, Joe Biden said global heating was an "emergency," but stopped short of declaring a national emergency, as activists wanted the president to do. Such a statement would allow Biden to block crude oil imports or direct the military to engage in renewable energy production. The White House said a formal emergency declaration was "still under discussion".
"It's a clear and present danger, literally," Biden said. "There is a real threat to the health of our citizens and communities."
The global cooling tower market is estimated at 2.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach us $2.6 billion by 2026, with a COMPOUND annual growth rate of 4.5%. Growing demand in emerging markets, stringent environmental regulations, increased DEPLOYMENT of HVACR and technological advances are driving demand for portable water chiller unit cooling towers.
Global cooling tower market introduction
Cooling towers are heat exchange devices in which water and air are in direct contact to lower the temperature of water. When water and air meet, a small amount of water evaporates, creating a cooling effect. There are various types of cooling towers and not all of them are suitable for use in the end-use industry. Each project is different and requires a specific cooling tower. A recent trend is to use hePA filters in cooling towers instead of traditional sand filters. Growth in the end-use industry is a key factor expected to drive demand for cooling towers during the forecast period. The same goes for portable water chiller unit . The market for portable water chiller unit is also expected to grow due to developments in the HVAC, power generation and oil and gas industries.
Europe is already the industrialized continent with the most power plants. Cooling towers have been installed in Europe for years. In addition to the shrinkage of new cooling towers, Europe is also seeing a need to replace them. All these factors make Europe the largest cooling tower market in the world. Like Europe, North America is highly industrialized, and demand for new cooling towers and replacement towers will rise. North America is the world's second largest cooling tower market. The Asia-pacific region is the fastest growing market for cooling towers.
The portable water chiller unit market development changes
The construction of new power plants fueled by coal (thermal power plant) and natural gas is increasing all over the world, oil, biofuels, waste, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, tidal and so on. This development, together with increased capital expenditure in the oil and gas sector, is driving the number of oil RIGS worldwide and are the two main factors likely to drive growth in the portable water chiller unit market during the forecast period. portable water chiller unit are said to be the most prominent type by far. Evaporative cooling towers are expected to occupy the largest market share during the forecast period, followed by dry and hybrid cooling towers. Dry cooling tower is mainly used in places lacking water. As they do not use water and are cost-effective, dry cooling towers are expected to provide profitable opportunities for cooling tower suppliers and manufacturers during the forecast period. Hybrid cooling towers are also growing in popularity because they help reduce heat plumes and reduce the amount of fresh water consumed by factories. As a result, the market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Regional outlook of global cooling tower market
Germany is the largest market for cooling towers in Europe, followed by Italy. In Europe, five countries - Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom and Poland - account for two-thirds of the cooling tower market. Germany is one of The largest manufacturing powers in Europe, leading to increased demand for cooling towers in the country. In Europe, new demand for cooling towers and replacement of existing cooling towers is driving the market as it matures. Among the rest of Europe, Poland's portable water chiller unit market recorded double-digit growth of around 25.0%.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to show high growth rates for global portable water chiller unit . China has the largest number of coal-fired, gas-fired and nuclear power plants among asia-pacific countries. It also has the largest hVAC market in the region. All these factors make China a major cooling tower market in the region. In addition, growing industrial growth is driving demand for cooling towers in India. In Japan, in addition to the need for new cooling towers, there is also a large need to replace cooling towers. The rest of Asia Pacific consists of a variety of smaller cooling tower markets.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global cooling tower market
Power generation is one of the important consumers of cooling towers, as it requires energy saving, increased efficiency and strengthening of pipes, machinery, tanks and boilers. Most electricity consumption is in the industrial sector, followed by the residential, commercial and service sectors.
Demand in the sector declined by about 2.5% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The decline was attributable to lower consumption in the industrial and commercial sectors. Businesses have been forced to close because of government-sponsored lockdowns, social distancing measures and restricted supply chains. However, demand is normalising again, helped by a recovery in economic activity across countries.
As a result of the pandemic, demand in the oil and gas industry has dropped significantly. The oil and gas industry has been weak for the past few years as oil prices fell sharply and accelerated from mid-2014.
The industry experienced additional shocks in 2019-2021 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the drop in demand caused by the global lockdown have forced major refiners to shut down their operations.
Market drivers for portable water chiller unit
Drivers: Increased DEPLOYMENT of HVACR and increased industrial activity
The modest growth of the global commercial construction industry, along with accelerated modernization and urbanization in emerging economies, is driving demand for cooling towers. The increased deployment of HVACR is further driving market growth due to increased government investment in portable water chiller unit industries. Cooling towers are widely used as part of building HVACR systems through which excess heat from the cooler is treated. As a result, the surge in demand for this HVACR equipment in construction and industrial applications is expected to drive the global cooling tower market. Factors such as climate change and technological innovation have driven the adoption of portable water chiller unit . Changeable and unpredictable weather conditions caused by global warming have also increased the need for cooling towers.

Q: Moto 360 doesn't have a step detector? So I'd like to be able to record the events by the Step Detector on the Moto 360, but when I run this code on the wear module:
mStep = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR);
if (mStep == null) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Step is null");
}

It prints out the "Step is null" message in logcat.  Using TYPE_STEP_COUNTER does result in an object getting returned and I'm able to listen to events from it, but I'm looking for the latency found in TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR objects.
Does the 360 just not have this sensor?  That seems pretty inexplicable since the Counter exists.  Similar code works just fine on my Nexus 5.

A: I have seen this problem before, and the step counter is the easiest one to use for most applications. The step detector will only deliver an event when a step actually occurs, so unless the step is occurring in the few milliseconds the device is awake between suspend cycles, it will get no data. It should be registering for TYPE_STEP_COUNTER to get a reliable count.

A: do you add this feature in your manifest?
uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch"
add this and try again, i am sure that moto 360 has stepcounter sensor, because i have used it to do many things

Імператор Рейґе́н (, рейґен тенно; 9 липня 1654 — 24 вересня 1732) — 112-й Імператор Японії, синтоїстське божество. Роки правління: 5 березня 1663 — 6 травня 1687.

Біографія
Імператор Хіґасіяма народився 9 липня 1654 року. Він був шістнадцятим сином Імператора Ґо-Мідзуноо. Матір'ю хлопчика була фрейліна Соно Куніко, донька міністра печатки Соно Мотонарі. Новонародженому дали ім'я Сатохіто і титул принц Ате.

В лютому 1658 року принц був проголошений спадкоємцем трону. Через п'ять років його старший брат Імператор Ґо-Сай передав йому престол.

Протягом перших років правління Імператор Рейґен був номінальним головою держави. Реальна влада в країні належала його батькові, відставному Імператору Мідзуноо. Після смерті останнього в 1680 році, Імператор Рейґен взявся за реформування Імператорського двору, спрямоване на відродження авторитету японського монарха. Він займався реставрацією стародавніх палацових звичаїв і ритуалів, а також підтримував дружні стосунки із сьоґунатом Токуґава. Зокрема, 1683 року Імператор відродив стародавній титул спадкоємців трону — Великий син Імператора, який надав своєму синові Асахіто, майбутньому Імператору Хіґасіяма.

1687 року Імператор Рейґен передав престол сину Асахіто, а сам прийняв титул відставного монарха — Верховного Імператора. Того ж року, за його сприяння, новий Імператор Хіґасіяма здійснив забутий обряд дайдзьоеї, який не проводився останні 300 років.

1713 року Імператор Рейґен прийняв чернечий постриг і буддистське ім'я Содзьо. Решту життя він продовжував керувати справами двору як «сірий кардинал». Відставний монарх займався вивченням японської літератури та поезії, і вважався провідним поетом і каліграфом того часу.

24 вересня 1732 року Імператор Рейґен помер у 78-річному віці. Його поховали в гробниці Цукінова, на території монастиря Сенрюдзі в районі Хіґасіяма, в Кіото..

Pandemic's revolution in transportation and commerce rivals 19th-century railroad construction
Nearly 200 years after the first freight cars carried goods over railroads, the country is in the middle of a new revolution in transportation and commerce fueled by the pandemic — online shopping delivery.
Millions of people have relied on e-commerce to get everything from toilet paper to groceries to puzzles to sweatpants during the pandemic. Online retail sales were up by 32 percent over last year, a figure that wasn't expected until 2022, according to the digital research company eMarketer.
"If the pandemic were to continue or a vaccine was distributed right away, it really doesn't change anything, because this was a train already moving down the track," said Rich Thompson, who leads the global supply chain and logistics solutions team for the commercial real estate company JLL. "It's just now accelerating."
The surge in online shopping led Amazon to add delivery trucks and limit inventory. Target increased the number of employees dedicated to packing products bought online and mandated overtime at some warehouses. Walmart rolled out popup distribution centers to help deliver online orders during the holiday shopping season.
It all adds up to a historic expansion of delivery networks that rivals the railroad boom of the 19th century, Thompson said.
"Parcel deliveries are akin to the creation of the American railroad system," he said. "These alternative logistics providers are trying to create a private delivery network across the country — because that's what we need."
After decades of consolidation and labor abuse, railroad companies broke up into competing entities in the early 20th century as the federal government enacted antitrust legislation and created the Federal Trade Commission to enforce laws that promoted industrywide competition.

How much seafood did you eat? Photos jog memory, aid scientific recommendations
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Seafood can be a tasty source of protein that supports a healthy, balanced diet. But too much of anything is not always beneficial, said Anne Mathews, a food and human nutrition scientist with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
To assess health risks versus benefits of consuming certain seafood products, scientists analyze seafood for nutritional value such as omega fatty acids and possible contaminants, such as mercury. Coupled with an understanding of what people eat, how much they eat, and how often they eat it, scientists can gauge a risk level, UF scientists say.
For example, scientists advise Americans to eat eight to 12 ounces of fish or seafood each week for their nutrient values. On the other hand, as recently as 2011, more than one-third of the country's inland waterways were under fish advisories due to contamination, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; hence, the need to potentially limit consumption of certain fish to potentially vulnerable populations.
In 2010, people in many Gulf coastal communities grew concerned about seafood safety after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Mathews teamed up with UF researcher Andy Kane to help assess inshore-harvested seafood that was not directly addressed by scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, who were following up from the spill.
Kane, a UF associate professor of environmental and global health in the UF College of Public Health and Health Professions, and a Florida Sea Grant agent, served as principle investigator for the five-year study, addressing seafood safety in coastal Gulf communities, with support from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences.
In order to examine potential risk for coastal seafood after the oil spill, Kane and other UF scientists collected more than 900 seafood samples and processed them for contaminants. They surveyed people in Gulf coast communities, representing 930 household members, to learn patterns of seafood consumption. A key element needed for this effort was a tool to help survey participants accurately report how much Gulf seafood they actually eat.
As part of the larger grant, Mathews, a UF/IFAS assistant professor of food science and human nutrition, led research that examined how accurately people could report their seafood intake, based on photographs of different portion sizes of cooked seafood. In the study, Mathews conducted two identical projects, one with fish and one with shrimp.
The first study asked 54 participants to look at seven plates of freshly cooked shrimp, with portion sizes ranging from two to 16 ounces, and asked them to pick the plate with a portion size that they usually consume. The second experiment, with 53 participants, replicated the same procedures with fish.
Study participants later looked at photographs of plates with a range of portion sizes of plated, cooked fish and shrimp, and researchers asked them to pick the photo of fish or shrimp that reflected the portion size they usually eat.
"When we compared 'typical portion size choices' from study participants, we saw no differences between photographs of seafood portions with the actual plates of fish or shrimp portions," Mathews said. "That means the photographs helped participants to accurately identify the portion of seafood they would usually consume."
In fact, the photographic seafood portion guide worked well for 94 percent of participants, who chose their "typical seafood portion" photograph within 2 ounces of the actual plate of freshly cooked fish or shrimp they previously selected.
Other research has shown that pictures of food, or three-dimensional food models, help scientists obtain accurate estimates of food intake. For most of those studies, however, participants need to be able to interpret variation shape, thickness and other characteristics of the food, Mathews said. The photographic portion guide developed in this study, with the camera and lighting methods used to produce the photographs, performed above expectations to account for variation between pictures and actual plated portions, based on the study findings.
In addition to publishing the validation outcomes supporting field use of this photographic portion guide, the guide is free for use by other scientists and can be downloaded from the supplemental materials link associated with the article, published in the journal Public Health Nutrition.
Mathews co-authored the study with Kane.

Narrator: The military planes of the German Federal army are manipulating our climate. This is what the weather researchers are presuming and their suspicions are confirmed. Sinister clouds up to 350 km in length appear all of a sudden on the radar, but only on the meteorological radar. The first time it happened was the Summer of 2005 and then in March, 2006. The German Army has admitted having war exercises towards the borders with the Netherlands.
For Meteorologist, Karsten Brandt this is the answer to the enigma:
" The Federal army is manipulating the meteorological maps. We can say with 97% certainty that we have on our hands "chemical trails" comprised of fine dust containing polymers and metals used to disrupt radar signals. This is their main purpose but I was surprised that this artificial cloud was so wide-spread. The radar images are stunning considering the needed tons of dispersed elements, although the Army claims that only small amounts of material were propagated. The military heads claim that the substances used are not harmful . "
Narrator: The records report the emissions of chemical trails are observed at low altitudes. In the United States of America there are protest after protest for many years now, against these military operations and now people are mobilizing in Germany as well. For example Johannes Remmel of the Greens:
Remmel: "It's obvious that enormous regions are being polluted with clandestine actions, but all of this has to be made public. The government must provide explanations to the unsuspecting population."
Brandt: "From our observations we can conclude that they fly over the regions of Westfalia, Bielefeld, the Ruhr zone to Saxony and Hamburg forming a really dense layer of artificial cloud-cover."
Narrator: After the first discovery Karsten Brandt filed a legal challenge against responsible parties involved in secret weather manipulation based on his careful verifications and data gathered by radar through which he documented every anomalous cloud formation.

ILO blames employers and government for increased danger in the workplace – 30/03/2017The workplace is even more dangerous that it was 10 years ago, meaning more money and lives per year are being lost due to accidents at work, over 1.3million fatalities per year say the International LaborOrganization (ILO). That's over 3,300 work-related deaths a day.
"Globalization, increasing the competition between companies, has too many negative effects on work safety," Mr. Velasco ILO's workers activities director said.
The ILO condemns employers and governments for letting health and safety in the workplace slide.
Accidents are often caused by "non-existent prevention, dangerous production practices, sometimes the inattention of governments to the problem, and impunity for employers guilty of negligence", Mr. Velasco said.
Asbestos is a big killer, taking 100,000 lives every year and unless something is done, more than a million deaths by 2030. More than 900,000 workers die each year due to toxic substances that are used in the workplace.
Around 170,000 agricultural workers die each year. As well as this the ILO have informed that millions are injured, or poisoned by pesticides per year and believe more needs to be done to lower these numbers.

Nationalist forces take the areas of Selaya, Villacarriedo, Ontaneda and Las Fraguas in the Cantabrian region as they advance towards Santander.
Navarrese forces fighting for the Nationalists claim Mazcuerras Valley and take Mount Ibio, which all-but cuts off the main road and the rail line between Santander and Asturias. Italian forces take Puente Viesgo after facing little Republican resistance.
Republican General Gámir-Ulibarri orders the general evacuation towards Asturias. Basque fighters begin their withdrawal from the front as the Nationalists are overwhelming the Cantabrian region.
The Republicans begin a major ongoing campaign in Zaragoza, which is their main aim for recapture. Both Belchite and Quinto are heavily guarded town where fighting begins, though Belchite has around 7,000 Nationalists fortified in the the village.
Santander falls to the Nationalists at last thanks to huge troops numbers and air strikes. Around 160,000 refugees are in the city, including Republican soldiers. Many try to escape via boats, which are overcrowded and begin sinking in the Bay of Biscay. Republican General Gámir-Ulibarri flies out of the region to France, to re-enter and take up arms again. All major Republican leaders flee the area. Nationalist forces enter Santander at midday and take 17,000 prisoners, but many are executed right away.
Unknown to the Republicans, the Basque fighters have made a secret agreement with the Italian Nationalist soldiers two days earlier. They agree to surrender at Santoña near Santander (close to 30,000 troops and officials), give over their weapons and do no harm to Basque industry. The Basques head aboard two British ships waiting to take them to safety. This becomes known as the Treason of Santoña.
The Basque troops waiting to leave Santander are captured by Franco forces. They are given the choice of fighting for the Nationalists or being Italian prisoners in Santoña. 22,000 are imprisoned, with half released three months later as they start fighting for the Nationalists. Only 510 are executed. The final prisoner won't be released until 1943.
The Nationalists take Unquera in Cantabria, which borders Asturias, as the Nationalists fighting in the north begin the offensive of Asturias. They begin a slow offensive, which will see troops moving less than one kilometre per day in mountainous areas.
The Republican offensive to take the town of Belchite begins, with aerial bombing, artillery bombing and fighting on the ground. The town is surrounded but the Nationalist are desperate to keep their post.

Clean Energy Opens First Public Natural Gas Station in Oregon; Connects California to Washington with Natural Gas Fueling
CENTRAL POINT, OREGON. – Clean Energy Fuels Corp., (NASDAQ: CLNE) announced today that it has opened its first public natural gas station in the state of Oregon on Interstate 5 in Central Point, outside of Medford. The addition of this station gives customers the ability to drive from San Diego to Seattle utilizing Clean Energy's "America's Natural Gas Highway™."
The station, located in the Pilot Travel Center Plaza at 275 Peninger Road, dispenses both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), and is open to the public 24/7.
Matheson Trucking, a United States Postal Service contracted carrier, is using the station for its California to Seattle runs.
"The addition of this station allows us the strategic advantage of being able to rely on natural gas throughout our entire distribution system," said Joshua Matheson, vice president of operations for Matheson Trucking, Inc. "With an annual fleet distance of close to 36 million miles, we are always looking for ways to reduce GHG-emissions, and being able to use natural gas, specifically for our Los Angeles to Seattle runs, will help us do just that."
The Central Point public station adds to Clean Energy's presence in Oregon. Earlier this year, Clean Energy expanded its relationship with Fred Meyer Stores, a division of The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), in Oregon by providing the large grocery retailer with Redeem™ renewable natural gas for its fleet of heavy duty trucks. Clean Energy also announced the opening of a private station in Wilsonville for long time customer Republic Services, the nation's second largest solid waste management company. The station is supporting the addition of 16 CNG solid waste vehicles, bringing the total number of natural gas vehicles operated by Republic Services in Oregon to 35.
"Our natural gas fueling infrastructure continues to grow as more and more fleets and consumers turn to natural gas," said Chad Lindholm, vice president of Sales at Clean Energy. "By opening stations like Central Point and connecting the I-5 corridor, we can offer our customers the fuel and the infrastructure they need to make the transition to alternative fueling as seamless as possible."
Natural gas fuel costs less than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 21 percent and up to 90 percent with the use of renewable natural gas. In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in North America is produced in North America.
About Clean Energy
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) is the leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation in North America. We build and operate compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling stations; manufacture CNG and LNG equipment and technologies for ourselves and other companies; develop renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities; and deliver more CNG, LNG and Redeem RNG fuel than any other company in the U.S. For more information, visit www.cleanenergyfuels.com.

The weather this summer might have been a mixture but vineyards are set for a good quality crop this year.
The harvest is well underway at Halfpenny Green Vineyards in Bobbington, – with the wine soon set to be on its way.
Volunteers arrived on the farm from yesterday morning to start picking the grapes, following an apparent season of what appear to have been good growing conditions.
The vineyard, which is approaching its 35th year, was treated to several heatwaves throughout the summer, which made up for the intermittent gloomy weather.
Martin Vickers, who owns Halfpenny Green, says because of an early heatwave everything is running early.
He insists it's 'exciting' times but it can be nerve-racking approaching the harvest, which will see 15 varieties of grape pulled in total.
"Every year is different, said Mr Vickers. "We're coming up to 35 years and there's never any consistent pattern.
"It is looking like a really good year, we're running between 10 to 14 days early. Everything is early because of the early heatwave. There was a bit of a problem in late April with quite serious air frost. We had a little bit of damage but nothing serious.
"Usually September is a little warmer but next week is going to be a bit better.
Farmer Mr Vickers had the vision for Halfpenny Green 30 years ago – he wanted to plant a vineyard that would one day match continental sites. Today, he manages 30 acres of vines and produces award-winning wines crafted by his son Clive.
A family business, the vineyard features a shop, restaurant, deli and tea room, which are run by Clive's wife Lisa, and offers a great day out for visitors.
For the coming weeks, grapes will be hand-picked, cut off the vines in whole bunches before being transported to the winery where the business is done. Pickers descended on the vineyard from 9am yesterdayon Monday morning.
Mr Vickers added: "All of our grapes are picked by volunteers. We've got a good following of local people, mostly retired, who over the years just love coming along and helping out.
"It's a gathering of old friends every year. We go for five weeks and they all have a lunch at the end and a good get-together. All picked by hand, we've got 15 different varieties to pick.
From a medium white Black Country Gold to a full-bodied Rondo red, Halfpenny currently stocks wines ranging from £9.99 to £29.99 and are available online.
All of the wines the vineyard sells are available to drink straight away but will improve with keeping up to five years.
Elsewhere in the county, Kerry Vale Vineyard, west of Church Stretton, on the Shropshire border is optimistic about this season's harvest.
It expects to pull in 10 tons of grapes from its 6,000 vines – a similar amount to last year's yield.
The six-year-old vineyard has three grape varieties; Rondo, Phoenix and Solaris.
But with the grapes ripening at different times it means the workload can be spread over a number of days and weeks.
Owner Geoff Ferguson said: "It's an incredibly busy but exciting time at Kerry Vale at the moment.
At this time of year the sugar and acidity levels in the grapes will be constantly monitored to ensure they are picked at just the right time.
The most important criterion determining the time for harvesting is the acid level in the grapes. If it is too high then the wine is sharp to the taste, too low and it is flat and uninteresting.
Kerry Vale Vineyard likes the sugar content to be as high as possible – which requires a good amount of sun – sometimes difficult to attain in the unpredictable English climate.
Run by husband and wife team Geoff and June Ferguson, daughter Nadine and son-in-law Dan, the vineyard is appealing for volunteers to come forward and help with picking the grapes.

Heading north again, we returned to our familiar stopover point of Bequia, finding the bay a little more crowded than usual. Using our advantage of shallow draft we nosed into 0.6 m below the hull, which was as much as I dared at this stage. We had prepaid "HotHotHotSpot!" for one month because it had wifi available at a number of locations throughout the Caribbean, including Bequia. Unfortunately, the signal was too weak so we eventually moved to the other side of the bay, close to the transmitter.
We had a wonderful walk to the Bequia Whaling Museum, passing along boardwalks and sandy beaches in Admiralty Bay, then up and over a steep hill to the Atlantic side of the island. Bequia has been a whaling centre since the days of slavery. The skills have been retained and very small scale whaling still occurs using traditional methods continues with the approval of the IWC. A tiny museum houses some exhibits some whale bones, photos and historical notes. A lovely young Bequia girl gave us a tour and commentary. Her time is shared between being a guide and her beautician business in a small room next to the museum.
We hailed a minibus for the return journey. These are always fascinating. They are painted up in loud colours with slogans such as "NEVER GIVE UP NEVER", "LOVE IS DE ANSWER". Ours had fluorescent crimson seats and quilted roof. Reggae mix music was blaring out at full volume as we drove back to Elizabeth at breakneck speed.
Saturday night was a big night for the island with the "Rise Up Bequia" talent competition. Winners go through to the SVG national competition. A stage was erected at the local primary school. Security men and organisers sold tickets and we filed into a small pavilion in front of the stage. In true Caribbean style, the music eventually started about an hour late due to the absence of anyone who seemed to be in charge of proceedings. School children played popular pieces without a conductor and consequently didn't know when to stop the rounds. Some of them looked in panic as they tried to work out how to exit the repetitive melodies. What they lacked in skill was more than compensated for by enthusiasm. After a few hours of wonderful entertainment with periods of on-stage chaos included, we departed. Our timing was perfect as the heavens opened and we sprinted to the dinghy dock, arriving drenched.

Below is the letter my father wrote to his Sunday School class at Bayshore Baptist Church in Tampa, FL that I mention in my post below. His letters are the inspiration for what has become this blog from Israel.
I was sitting in the passenger seat in the van yesterday at Shikhin with my computer in my lap putting in record points. I can hear the sounds of human voices and of tools clanking and clinking twenty yards away. A whole swarm of men on bikes pedal past, speaking to one another in Hebrew, but keeping their eyes on the path and the man ahead. Bike paths are the new thing this year on the park lands. As I sit there I spot three sturdy men about 50-60 years old walking toward me, but not in biking clothes. I was not sure where they were going, but they were walking towards me after all, almost marching in step. I waited, and when they arrived at the van the man in the middle smiled and said, "We are here to express our thanks to you for exposing our history for us." I was taken completely by surprise, but I managed to thank them for saying so. Then he added, with a gesture towards Sepphoris. "You know, for what you have done at Tsippori for so long." I was so touched I could have cried. I did not, but I added this: "Those people who lived at Tsippori and at Shikhin have no voice now. So every time we find anything they left behind we give them a little voice. Whether it is big or small, every time we find something, they have a stronger voice." The leader stood erect and wept silently. The man to the left, whom I met yesterday, grinned hugely. The man to the right seemed lost in thought.
I cannot tell you how much I was moved. No one of the locals had ever thanked me, and I never thought they should. I experienced the power of gratitude personally in a new way. I was changed. I felt better, I gained perspective on what I was doing at that moment, which does not look significant, and I realized all over again why we are doing this. (They had said the same thing to James a few minutes before.) Archaeology is a very human kind of research because we connect with our ancestors in an immediate fashion. I hear us talking about the people we owe our archaeological existence to as though they just left yesterday. "This wall runs off its foundation by nearly 20 centimeters at the south end. What were they doing? Did they run into a problem with bedrock? What was going on?" Or we discover that they dug a huge and deep pit at one point in the house during the fourth century AD. I hear Aaron, the Area Supervisor, or one of his volunteers asking, "Why did they do that" as they stare in wonder at a pit that we have spent two seasons emptying out. "Did the same guys who dug it out fill it with different dirt for a reason? Well, what was it?" All this questioning slowly builds up a story about these people and their activities. If you go over to Rachel's square (5 x 5 meter plot) they may have their heads down close to the soil at the bottom of their excavation looking for another piece of the lamp fragment one of them is holding in his hand and staring at. "Doug just turned up a lamp frag, but he thinks he saw another one." Doug and two other volunteers are on hands and knees dragging their fingers through and almost fondling the loose dirt. This small patch of floor has yielded three lamp molds and about two dozen lamp fragments to the volunteers' investigations. "Why are there so many lamp frags?" We respond, "Well, we think they had to be making lamps." When a lamp mold turns up we need to give a little lecture on the spot about how they are made and used. "You mean they do all this by hand? Then it's art" says Angela, a 20 year old from France. "Look", says another, peering at the fragment in his hand. "I see some kind of a leaf and something else, but it's a little hard to make out." And so it goes, this asking, and we slowly build up the story of the people of ancient Shikhin.
I like to think that God is listening and watching, and maybe smiling a little, as we tell this story to visitors, or at least tell the part we think we know. He hasn't forgotten. Psalm 78 says, "He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return." We are the ones who forget. And now we are hard at work remembering—or doing something very close to remembering.
It is peaceful here. We hear Israeli jets arcing overhead, sometimes circling. I like to think they are watching as well, but for different reasons.

Community spirit inspiration to head
A GLOSSOP school has welcomed a new school term with the arrival of a new head teacher. Cathy Quinn took over the headship at St Margaret's Catholic Primary on Glossop Road for the start of the summer term and has spent the past few weeks getting to grips with what her new job has to offer.

NEW head at St Margaret's, Cathy Quinn, with pupils
A GLOSSOP school has welcomed a new school term with the arrival of a new head teacher.
Cathy Quinn took over the headship at St Margaret's Catholic Primary on Glossop Road for the start of the summer term and has spent the past few weeks getting to grips with what her new job has to offer.
"I'm really enjoying it. One of the things that I love is being in the countryside," she said.
"The views from the school are so beautiful!"One of the thing's that's impressed me most is how friendly and polite the children are. They're interested and keen to learn."
Outside of work, Mrs Quinn loves sport and the outdoors and plays hockey for a team in Manchester. And if she wasn't busy enough finding her feet in her new job, she got married to husband Tom a month ago, and has managed to squeeze a honeymoon and a house move into the past month too.
Mrs Quinn, who spent three years as a social worker before deciding that teaching was her vocation, will spend the next few weeks seeing how the school currently works and getting to know staff and pupils before deciding how she wants to put her own stamp on things.
So far she's seen lots of things that she likes, like the school's celebration assembly every Friday where the children's work and achievements are praised. And she also likes the community spirit and Catholic ethos of the school and hopes to continue building on these to give Glossop's youngsters a great start in life.
