Beaman Methodist Episcopal Church
Beaman M. E. Church
by C. W. Carver
The class organized in 1868 by Rev. W. Dudley with the following charter members: Charles Jones (leader) and wife, John VanNess and wife, James Wyley and wife, and Mrs. Mary Sharp.
The charge was first called the Albion circuit, the Grundy Center circuit and after this the Salt Creek circuit.
In 1866 there were five appointments, namely: Grundy Center, Beaman, Conrad's Grove, Hudson, and Carry's school house which was within five miles of Cedar Falls. Rev. W. F. Dove was the pastor.
The building of a parsonage was commenced by Rev. George B. Crinklaw in the year of 1878 and was completed by the Rev. J. J. Littler the following year.
The building of a church was also commenced by J. J. Littler in 1880, but was not completed until the following year by the Rev. J. H. Hoskyn, and the then Presiding Elder, John Bowman, was the officiating minister at the dedication.
Consecutively we give the names of the fourteen Presiding Elders and thirty-eight pastors.

develop his own coaching strategy.
Del Miller '72 recently retired after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Kansas State University.
Miller's career encompassed 45 years of coaching—38 years at the Division 1 level, including coaching in 20 bowl games and being a part of winning two Big Ten football championships and two Big 12 football championships.
A native of Marengo, Iowa, Miller played football at Central under Coach Ron Schipper, then began his coaching career in Iowa high schools. He coached at the University of Iowa with Hayden Fry from 1978-88, then moved to Kansas State.
Q: What stands out to you from your time at Central College?
Without question, the friendships made during this time with fellow classmates, other players and fraternity brothers. Many of these friendships continue today.
Q: How did your experience with Coach Schipper and Central football shape your coaching career?
Coach Schipper and Central College were highly successful in football and laid a good foundation for me to begin my career, which started at the high school level. Coach Schipper was a good mentor, instilling good coaching values to emulate as I got started. Coach Hayden Fry taught me if you want to be successful in whatever endeavor you attempt, duplicate what other successful people have done in your field. Coach Schipper was one of these guys.
Q: The relationship between coach and player is a defining part of Coach Schipper's legacy. Is that something that impacted the way you interacted with your players?
He certainly had a positive impact on that aspect. Then as I was exposed to other coaches—such as Hayden Fry, Bill Snyder and many other head coaches and assistants—you begin to build your own identity working with young athletes. I always tried to conduct myself in the same manner I would if I were working with my own son.
Q: What are the significant differences in high school coaching since your days at Plainfield and Eagle Grove?
Being a high school coach is like being an extended father to a lot of young, impressionable athletes who have been entrusted to you by a parent or parents that in most cases love them very much. It is so important as a coach to be aware of what is happening with your players on and off the field and approach each athlete as an individual. We are not all the same. Be patient! And be a great listener! You are more to young athletes than Xs and Os!


Congratulations Faraz on your graduation! I'm writing this up now instead of after the ceremony tomorrow morning because I know the next few days will be just as busy as the last few weeks and I won't have any time to do so.
I'm so proud of you and hopefully this is just the beginning of a lot of successes to come your way in the future. Always give everything your best effort, as that is all you can do – no matter what the end result is. And never give up!
Actually, this month we have had four graduations (Shazia, then me, and now Faraz and Sheeraz later today) amongst us cousins from college alone just in New Jersey – and we have two graduating from high school next month (Samia and Shahbaz). And a few more elsewhere too.
This month has been insane with exams, then graduations, and then this Friday is Maria Baji's wedding, so the last few weeks have been insanely busy but a lot of fun at the same time!
I'm definitely ready for some down time though ;).
I am a college graduate and it feels absolutely AMAZING, yet odd!
My graduation ceremony was earlier this afternoon. The funny thing is my older brother, Faraz, graduates on the 27th, so I am the first one of the cousins from my dad's side to graduate!
It hasn't been the easiest few years, and the road to getting here has not been easy, by any means. But looking back, I can say – it has all been worth it. Rutgers has challenged me in ways I could not have even imagined, but with every accomplishment came a sense of victory. While each individual semester has seemed to drag on and has challenged me tremendously, I feel quite blessed to have received a pretty decent education from Rutgers. The stress, nervousness, and the many challenges that each semester has brought on, has without a doubt made me a stronger person.
and now, I can finally say … i'm finally DONE (undergraduate, at least)!
As another chapter in my life closes, i'm excited to see what the next one brings for me and the challenges that come with it.
Thank you EVERYONE for your continuing support and encouragement.
Goodbye, Rutgers. Thank for a great (challenging, frustrating, stressful, etc.) four years!
Not sure if I'm more excited or sad yet.
I've been up since 3 A.M. after going to sleep after 1:30 AM!!
If there's one thing we are always looking for, it's new local places that serve halal food that serve great food. While our local area has a variety of food available, a good fried chicken joint is what our area is missing. I grew up in Canada, so we all miss the Popeyes' that are mostly all halal there.
A few months ago, though, we found out that there were two KFC joints in NYC that began to serve halal food. No, not Kennedy Fried Chicken, it's the real deal – Kentucky Fried Chicken.
I tried it once at my cousins' house a few months ago, but by the time they brought it back – it was cold. It's kind of far from our area, but I knew I wanted to go try it when we were in that area.
Last weekend after visiting family, my family and I finally went and tried the food and it was delicious! We got a bucket of the 'extra crispy chicken', but also ordered a piece of the grilled chicken – and it tasted phenomenal. The grilled chicken's seasoning was marinated quite well and every bite had a great taste. The portions of the sides were great too.
But, FYI for all the locals – as of now, only the chicken pieces are halal and nothing else (that means no sandwiches, tenders, popcorn chicken, etc.) and neither is the gravy for the mashed potatoes. All three styles of the chicken pieces, though, are halal – classic, extra crispy, and grilled styles of chicken.
I'm currently being featured in the Blogger Uncovered segment by Adori Graphics.
Head over by clicking here to read my answers (to the questions asked by her readers)!
Is there anything YOU want to ask me? Leave a comment on this post with questions, and I'll answer them soon.
Just days before my college graduation, as I was just now looking through old stuff, I came across my high school graduation cap and gown from four years ago for the first time since I graduated.
My tassel was still in tact on the cap. Gotta admit, it was a pretty weird feeling coming across it – so I had to take a picture.
Can you sense my excitement?
I just submitted my last paper and I'm officially done everything! All that is left now is the commencement ceremony in a little over a week!
Actually, while I'm glad to be stress-free after handing in my last paper and finishing exams… I'm not yet sure how I feel about being done. It seems as if it was just yesterday that I was starting classes as a freshman, and here I am… four quick years later… an almost graduate.
As I was leaving from the last day of class of "Current, Moral, and Social Issues" earlier today, (which is a class I was quite interested in taking but turned out to be quite disappointing), the professor said something profound.
While I didn't enjoy the class altogether, the quote did make me smile and has had me thinking of its validity. There are so many issues we are each passionate about, but how many of us actually speak up for them?
I met my friend Vanessa Ma over four years ago at orientation where we were roommates and began our experience at Rutgers University together; earlier tonight, we attended our last class together at Rutgers University as undergraduates.
It's crazy how fast the four years have gone by, but it's pretty neat that it came to a fill circle with Vanessa.
The semester is quickly coming to an end, which means I find a lot of my time being consumed by writing papers and studying (Monday is my last day of classes and I also have an exam that day). It is so unbelievable that Monday is my last day of classes as an undergraduate student! Where has the time gone??
Aside from the end of the semester, my cousin Maria is getting married at the end of May – so all of the preparations and events have been a lot of fun and a big part of the weekends nowadays. I can't believe how fast everything is going by! Her bridal shower was last Friday, and it really got everyone in the wedding festivity mood because of how little time is left.
Part of my gift to her was a slideshow – with a montage of pictures, written messages, and video messages from family and friends – and it turned out pretty nice. I had NO clue how much work it was to make one!!
Yesterday, a bunch of my girl cousins and I went to NYC to hang out. It's so funny that we live so close, yet hardly get a chance to go and actually do stuff. But it was a fun day! We went on the Staten Island Ferry too, and I still can't believe it's free, especially considering how expensive everything else is in NYC… but I'll take it. The view from it is spectacular, and the weather was great too.
My goal has been to post at least once a week so I have it to look back on later, so this is a quick recap. Hopefully, soon I'll have more time to blog.

Spacesuits – All About Astronaut Fashion
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SPACESUITS !!!
A spacesuits main job is to protect an astronaut.
A spacesuit must allow the astronaut to move around easily.
These two requirements has not changed since the first astronaut flew many years ago.
However, over time spacesuits design has changed. New materials and techniques combine to produce a comfortable and efficient suit for today's working astronauts.
A space suit must be able to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures. For example, spacewalking conditions in the Earth's orbit can be as cold as -250°F. While, where there is sunlight, it can be as hot as 250°F. So basically, the spacesuits protect astronauts from getting too hot or cold.
Spacesuits give astronauts oxygen to breath while they are working in space.
The first suits designed for astronauts were for NASA'S Mercury program between 1958-1963. This was the first time astronauts flew into space. As they never left their craft, the suits they were wearing during the launch stayed on them while they were eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, and also for the return journey. Over-time, astronaut fashion would change.
The first spacesuit worn by a human in space was Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
The next suits designed were for the Apollo program between 1960-1972, which coincided with the landing of the first humans on the moon in 1969. These spacesuits had boots made to walk on rocky surfaces. They also provided the astronauts with a life support system, plus added protection against extreme temperatures and space dust, whilst out spacewalking.
In 1988, astronauts wore orange spacesuits called "launch and entry suits" (LES) during the launch and landing of the space shuttle. Known as the "pumpkin suit," these were phased out by 1995, and replaced by the ACES suit.
The launch and entry suits (LES) were replaced by the Advanced Crew Escape Suit (ACES), during the period of 1994-1995. Similar in color to the LES suit, the ACES suit is worn while the space shuttle is ascending or entering into space. These are designed to help astronauts escape quickly if they encounter any problems during take-off or landing.
ACES are a peculiar shade of orange known as "International Orange." They are highly visible against any type of terrain, especially in water.
NASA ACES Space Suit.
Today's astronauts wear different suits for launch, working outside, and for returning. Inside the space station they can wear casual clothes, just like what they wear back on Earth.
A Maximum Absorbency Garment is a space diaper astronauts wear when they are going to experience long delays while they are sitting in the space shuttle, strapped to their seats.
The spacesuits are custom tailored to fit each astronaut.
Astronauts put on their spacesuits hours before going on a spacewalk, during which time, they breathe in pure oxygen in preparation for their activity.
Spacesuits for working in space are made in white because it reflects heat in space, just as it does on Earth.
Working Spacesuits.
There is no difference between a male and female spacesuit.
The weight of a space shuttle spacesuit, which includes the life support backpack weighs approximately 310 pounds.
Due to the large numbers of astronauts with various different sizes, the shuttle spacesuit was designed to be made of many interchangeable parts to accommodate them.
The main parts of a spacesuit include the maximum absorption garment, the liquid cooling ventilation garment, the EMU electrical harness, and the lower torso assembly.
Shuttle spacesuits materials include ortho-fabric, aluminized mylar, neoprene-coated nylon, dacron, urethane-coated nylon, tricot, nylon/spandex, stainless steel, and high strength composite materials.
A NASA shuttle spacesuit with a life support backpack costs upwards to $12,000,000.
Astronauts gloves and boots have insulation and heating elements applied to them, to protect them from the extreme cold temperatures.
Spacesuit Gloves.
Astronauts helmets are made of polycarbonate, which you would find in bulletproof glass and exterior motor parts. They also consist of a thin layer of gold on the helmets visor to protect them from solar radiation.
Underneath an astronauts helmet, he wears a cap called a snoopy. This is a communication cap that contains two earphones and two microphones. They have two of each just in case there is a malfunction of a single unit.

Petr Beckmann (Prága, 1924. november 13. – Boulder (Colorado), 1993. augusztus 3.) villamosmérnök professzor volt, aki a szabadelvűség és az atomenergia ismert szószólója lett. Élete későbbi szakaszában vitatta Albert Einstein relativitáselméletét és a modern fizikában elfogadott egyéb elméleteket.

Életrajza
1939-ben, amikor Beckmann 14 éves volt, családja a nácik elől elmenekült prágai otthonából, Csehszlovákiából. 1942 és 1945 között a Brit Királyi Légierő cseh századában szolgált. Radarszerelőként dolgozott az újonnan feltalált radarrendszereken, amelyek segítettek Nagy-Britanniának megnyerni az atlanti csatát. BSc fokozatot kapott 1949-ben, PhD-t 1955-ben, D.Sc.-t 1962-ben, mind a prágai Cseh Tudományos Akadémia elektrotechnikai szakán. 1963-ban disszidált az Egyesült Államokba, és a Colorado Egyetem elektromérnöki professzora (később emeritusa) lett. Az Egyesült Államokban megismerkedett Ayn Rand regényíróval, az ő gondolatainak szentelt kiadvány, a The Intellectual Activist közreműködő szerkesztőjével, valamint a Thomas Jefferson School, egy hasonló célú értelmiségi konferencia előadójával.

Beckmann termékeny szerző volt; több elektrotechnikai szakkönyvet, valamint a valószínűségelméletről és az elektromágneses hullámterjedésről szóló publikációt és más, nem műszaki művet írt. 1968-ra megalapította a Golem Presst, amely a legtöbb könyvét kiadta. A Golem Press könyvei közé tartozik a The Health Hazards of Going Nuclear (1976), amely az atomenergia mellett érvelt az atomenergia-ellenes mozgalom csúcspontján azzal, hogy "almától almáig" hasonlította össze az atomenergia kockázatait az alternatív áramforrások kockázataival (pl. halálozás terawattóránként). Beckmann megírta az A History of Pi-t is, dokumentálva a π számításának történetét. A könyv a római kultúrával, a katolicizmussal (és más vallásokkal), a nácizmussal és a kommunizmussal szembeni ellenállást is kifejezi. Kiadta saját havi hírlevelét Access to Energy címmel, amelyet 1993 szeptembere óta Arthur B. Robinson biokémikus ír.

1981-ben korkedvezményes nyugdíjba vonult emeritus státuszával, hogy teljes mértékben a tudomány, a technológia és a szabad vállalkozás védelmének szentelje magát az Access to Energy című hírlevele révén. 1967-ben megalapította a Golem Presst, amely több mint kilenc könyvet adott ki. Ezek közé tartozott a The History of π, az Einstein Plus Two és a The Health Hazards of Going Nuclear (Teller Ede bevezetőjével). Mintegy 60 tudományos cikket és nyolc szakkönyvet írt. Az Egyéni Szabadság Nemzetközi Társaságának (ISIL) 1990-es San Franciscó-i konferenciáján felszólalt, ahol nagy tapsot kapott a beszéde, amelyben "ál-környezetvédőket" támadott.

Beckmann gyakori résztvevője volt a Usenet vitáknak is. Ezekben azt állította, hogy megdöntötte Albert Einstein speciális relativitáselméletét Einstein Plus Two című könyvében, valamint a szintén általa alapított Galilean Electrodynamics folyóiratban.

Did the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico Become Greener after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill?
Assessment of direct and indirect impacts of oil and dispersants on the marine ecosystem in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (NEGOM) from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (April - July 2010) requires sustained observations over multiple years. Here, using satellite measurements, numerical circulation models, and other environmental data, we present some initial results on observed biological changes at the base of the food web. MODIS fluorescence line height (FLH, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass) shows two interesting anomalies. The first is statistically significant (>1 mg m-3 of chlorophyll-a anomaly), in an area exceeding 11,000 km2 in the NEGOM during August 2010, about 3 weeks after the oil well was capped. FLH values in this area are higher (i.e., water is greener) than in any August since 2002, and higher than ever since 2002 in an area of ∼3,000 km2. Analyses of ocean circulation and other environmental data suggest that this anomaly may be attributed to the oil spill. The second is a spatially coherent FLH anomaly during December 2010 and January 2011, extending from Mobile Bay to the Florida Keys (mainly between 30 and 100-m isobaths). This anomaly appears to have resulted from unusually strong upwelling and mixing events during late fall. Available data are insufficient to support or reject a hypothesis that the subsurface oil may have contributed to the enhanced biomass during December 2010 and January 2011.

I am gonna find my fortress of solitude where the sidewalk ends, I bet. Thinking that isolation could fix you until you cant dismiss the whispers. I'm tryna express togetherness but I feel I'd be better off teaching a bear how to use a catchers mitt. Why can't what I want most, finally come hither?


How do you remember 隕 ?
He discovered an unusual meteorite.
We should expect to see some meteors or shooting stars.
There is only one person in all recorded history who has been killed by a meteorite?
For example, much information comes from the study of meteorites.
A bright shooting star, or meteor, is an unforgettable sight.
It is said that the magnetite was formed by a chemical process called thermal decomposition.
One theory about the existence of extraterrestrial life rests on the presence of carbon compounds in meteorites.

Application Management Mixed Reality Apps This version of Windows 10 introduces. Test it in a lab environment, deploy it to a limited group and test all your business applications before broad deployment. When people in your organization run the out-of-box experience on the device, the profile configures Windows based on the Autopilot deployment profile you applied to the device. Tried some fixes I found on internet. By installing the Media Feature Pack, you get Windows Media Player, Windows Media Format, Groove Music, Skype, Video, Voice Recorder, support for different audio and video formats and Media Player ActiveX control. Thanks in advance, take care of yourself! In other versions of Windows 10, media-related programs are installed by default.
You can install the regular version of Windows. I tried all other methods but no success in upgrading to the latest version. German blog reader Matthias N. In case you don't know, the Media Feature Pack is what brings back Windows Media Player to Windows N versions. There are tens of better media players out there for Windows 10 and most users have stopped using Windows Media Player. Do you know about that? It is saying key is not valid for this version of windows. This program obviously needs the media features of Windows that were not found on the affected system.
Multiple new configuration items are also added. Windows 10, version 1709 also contains all features and fixes included in previous cumulative updates to Windows 10, version 1703. If you try to install Camtasia Studio 9 as a Video Recorder program on your computer, you will be prompted to install the Media Feature Pack update package. Only the first one is related to privacy and security. In our case, we are targeting a Windows 7 computer. Step 5 Click on the I Accept button to accept the Media Feature Pack license agreement.
Windows Analytics Upgrade Readiness Upgrade Readiness provides insights into application and driver compatibility issues. This is due to the laws of Europe and Korea. Microsoft initially rolled out Windows 10 Build 16299 to Windows Insiders on the Fast ring on late September 2017, and subsequently to Windows Insiders on the Slow ring two days later. Fortunately, making it go away is easy. Do not treat a feature upgrade as normal monthly software updates. Before deploying Windows 10 1803, make sure that your Software Update Point is configured to include Windows 10 patches. If none of the above fixes the issue, launch registry editor regedit.
If i deploy the standard one, some machines pick it up, but some not… so i removed that and added the x64 one, then some other machines picked it up, but again not all… so i now added both, and my machine shows both in software center, but others are just showing either one or the other… any ideas? When I tried it out the bootable pen drive, it installed Windows 10 S on the laptop for which there is no digital license on the laptop. How to guide might also be of interest to you. Please help me, also i double checked and found i indeed download multi version Home,pro… not enterprises. When you download the required program via the Setup Error window below, you may not be able to continue with the installation because it does not match the version of your operating system. For the Windows 10 N 1709 version, you can download the Media Feature Pack update from the button at the bottom of the article to your computer.
Window Defender Exploit Guard Window Defender Exploit Guard provides intrusion prevention capabilities to reduce the attack and exploit surface of applications. Turn off all given options to install calendar, address book, etc. Bonus Ressources Need a report to track your Windows 10 devices? In the concrete case, the Avira virus scanner was the culprit. Servicing Plan has the simplicity, you set your option and forget, as for Automatic Deployment Rules does for Software Updates. It depends upon your product key which version of Windows 10 is activated.
It comes in several editions like Pro, Education, and Enterprise. These mitigations are now built into Windows and configurable with Exploit Guard. The method is also given in the article. However, some programs may require you to install Media Feature Pack on your computer. However, people who bought it found lots of programs do not work properly in N versions notably Plex , so people ended up installing the add-on media pack anyway. During the discussion within the thread, the antivirus solution has been uninstalled.
Naturally, there are some new features and stuff, but nothing that most people will get all excited about. Windows Information Protection Windows Information Protection is now designed to work with Microsoft Office and Azure Information Protection. I have checked in Windows Features and the Media Features has been ticked. You can configure multi-app kiosks using a provisioning package. S realised this and released a new feature pack. Before deploying a new Windows 10 feature upgrade, you need to have a good plan. I am in the same boat as Scott as my.

Q: How does stack alignment work? I never fully understood the difference between stack alignment in a function and "aligned loads/stores" to stack.
I'm reading some PTX code and I'm seeing this:
 function()

   .local .align 16 .byte stack_memory[200];
   // This should mean the stack memory starts at an address aligned to 16 (why would this be necessary?)

   load_byte_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+1];
   // It seems reading 1 byte is always safe (why?)

   load_float32_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+8];
   // It also seems that reading 32 bit from an address aligned to 32 bit (4 bytes) is also safe (why??)

   load_two_float32_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+12];
   // This should not be right (why?)

My questions are in the code but the point is:
I didn't really understand why a stack allocation should be aligned to an address and why that should matter if I can read 1 byte from a totally unaligned address and read a float32 from an address which is just a multiple of 4

A: That's an interesting question. Let me try an explain on your code:
.local .align 16 .byte stack_memory[200];

Q: This should mean the stack memory starts at an address aligned to 16 (why would this be necessary?)
A: The answer is because of optimizations and data coherency. Having the buffer aligned to 16B ensures that the buffer is spread in a minimum number of cache lines. If a cache line were to be 16B (they are usually 64B in current archs) having the buffer aligned would ensure that first 16B are stored in the first line, next 16B in the next line and so on. Now if you want to do a SIMD operation on 16B you need only to access a single cache line. Without the alignment you would have accessed 2 cache lines most probably and what would have happened if while you are accessing the first line, some other compute unit modifies the second line ?
load_byte_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+1];

Q: It seems reading 1 byte is always safe (why?)
A: Because one byte cannot fall into 2 distinct cache lines.
load_float32_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+8];

Q: It also seems that reading 32 bit from an address aligned to 32 bit (4 bytes) is also safe (why??)
A: Same reason here. Because of alignment, you are certain that your 4B value does not fall into 2 consecutive cache lines.
load_two_float32_from_stack reg, [stack_memory+12];

Q: This should not be right (why?)
A: Yes this is problematic, mostly for architectures with a relaxed memory model. If the cache line is only 16B then aligning to 16B and reading 2 x 4B from offset 12, would read the first 4B from line 1 and next 4B from line 2. That may cause some coherency issues if the programmer does not think that the second 4B might be modified by someone else before reading it (because read instruction cannot block 2 cache lines).
Hope this helps.

The days of unreliable Internet connections, impatiently waiting for web pages to load, and waiting hours to download something from the Internet are quickly becoming obsolete. Dial-up Internet, which used to be the standard for those seeking Internet access, is rapidly being replaced by faster, more reliable Internet access technologies. One of those technologies, DSL Internet service, is one of the most popular and affordable options for the home Internet customer. There are things to be aware of though, if you are considering using DSL for your Internet access.
DSL, or digital subscriber line, is a form of broadband Internet technology, that has download speeds that span 128 Kbps (Kilobits per second) to 24,000 Kbps, depending on the level of service purchased by the customer and the particular DSL technology in use by the ISP (Internet service provider). The technology dates back to 1988, when engineers at Bellcore (formerly Bell Communications Research, Inc., now Tellcordia Technologies) developed a method of transmitting a digital signal along the unused frequency spectrum on the twisted pair cables that ran between the central office (in a phone company, the location that houses the equipment that connects phone calls) and customer locations. Using DSL allowed a regular telephone line to provide digital (Internet) service without getting in the way of existent telephone service on the line.
DSL did not take off immediately, because it was more profitable for local telephone companies to simply install a second phone line in a home in order to provide dial-up Internet service in addition to regular telephone service. However, when cable television companies began offering and implementing their new high-speed Internet technology (via cable modems) nearly a decade later, local telephone carriers jumped in with the competition and began offering up the DSL technology to customers. Today, DSL remains the primary competition for cable companies and their high-speed Internet technology.
Despite the more reliable connections and faster rates of data transmission, there are some potential drawbacks to be aware of regarding DSL Internet service. For starters, the farther your house is from the telephone company's central office, the less bandwidth you will have access to. This means slower data transmission rates, and therefore might mean less enjoyment for things like online gaming, video viewing, and picture uploading. Some might not notice the slower capacity for things like email and other basic uses, though.
Another drawback to DSL is the potential cost. There is equipment to purchase, such as the modem and DSL router, plus there are sometimes installation fees. The good news is that competition drives service providers to often offer incentives and freebies for choosing their services, such as free self-installation, rebates for equipment purchases, and large amounts of mailbox storage. However, if you are not satisfied with your DSL service, you are often contractually obligated to them for a certain period of time, and will probably be required to pay a hefty fee for canceling early (up to $200 sometimes). Monthly prices for DSL Internet service range from $14.95 per month for basic DSL to upwards of $49.96 per month for more advanced versions of the technology.
Yet another drawback to DSL Internet service is that customers often see a slower connection than promised by the ISP. This is due to some service providers oversubscribing their service. Their often just isn't enough bandwidth to go around. But ISP's make the argument that all of their customers are never online at the same time. This can be particularly frustrating for businesses using DSL that rely heavily on the Internet for their daily dealings.
Don't let the drawbacks keep you from exploring the possibility of DSL Internet service. As with any new technology, there are kinks, and ISP's work on a regular basis to make service to their customers faster and more reliable. There are also many ISP's that offer DSL for you to choose from, so the incentives and promotions for picking one over another can mean saving money and getting more extras. Though it can be frustrating and seem costly, DSL Internet service is still a more cost effective option than some of the other types of broadband Internet service, such as satellite Internet.

Grt… articel. Came to know varios facts about DSL.
We have also taken DSL line from BSNL (Broadband) … They installed second phone line and a modem as a local area connection.
It makes you always connected.


We could fill many columns with extensive analysis on the assortment of memorable developments from the TV scene this year, but let's boil it down to just one over what you should take away from 2012.
The smart TV is the most impactful development of 2012, and may end up the most impactful of the decade. Every TV set maker now offers the ability for you to watch programming, the Internet and a growing number of interactive TV applications at any time in their latest models. You can also manipulate these sets by remote, smartphone, tablet, voice or gestures – your move. More of them showcase Google TV.
What these sets can do, and how you use them, will only expand. Already, a few notable studies show more people are browsing Web sites on their TV than their computers. Every Web site, whether they want to or not, may have to make their product more TV-friendly.
Oh – if Apple enters this picture with their own creation, a lot more people will develop a smart kinship to their viewing habits quite fast.
This is the best time to be a TV series creator. They have more places to land their creations than ever before: broadcast and cable networks, syndication, video-on-demand, digital subcarrier services getting broadcast and cable clearance, satellite, HD channels, 3D channels,smartTVs running YouTube. Netflix, Hulu and Amazon will enter the original series picture in a major way next year.
No more down time for cable networks when it comes to original programming. No more thinking that fall is a broadcast-exclusive season; only take your best shots in spring and summer. If ESPN's NFL Monday Night Football success didn't convince other cable channels to showcase original alternatives to broadcast in the fall last decade, AMC's The Walking Dead, Emmy-winning Homeland over Showtime, Sons Of Anarchy and American Horror Story on FX and an expanded Thursday Night Football schedule on NFL Network this fall will push them next year and beyond.
There's no stopping diversity now. At this time a year ago, not one new scripted series on CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW had a lead actor of color, only few had supporting actors of color and so on down the line. To their credit, that inexcusable result has been reversed.
In the meantime, Comcast got its pledge to add at least eight independently-owned cable networks by people/organizations of color off the ground (under its NBC Universal ownership) with the launches of BabyFirst Americas in April, followed by Aspire from Magic Johnson two months later. Up next: music-centric Revolt from Sean Combs and El Rey by Robert Rodriguez.
More series with people of color headlined in front of and behind the camera are in development by both broadcast and cable nets, along with more networks, such as the ABC/Univision joint news service starting next July. There is a lot more work to do, as the day when the U.S. population reaches a multicultural majority benchmark nears. We're back in forward mode.
We're moving away from a scripted drama mindset of cop, law, medic and little else. Check out the rundown of what's in contention among all the networks, and the variety beyond cop, law and medic is far better. The odds look better with the knowledge that a bunch of networks will dive into scripted series next year, including History, E!, Bravo, the Oprah Winfrey Network via Tyler Perry and Hallmark Channel.
Side note: we may get a variety of scripted and reality series approved for a limited run without benefit of a pilot.
The public at large may end up invested more in new TV series, networks and applications launching than venture capitalists, angel financers and the growing incubator/accelerator movement, all remaining apathetic (and for me, pathetic) over a role in funding new TV services or technology.
Crowdfunding may be the catalyst for this, as in projects deriving seed money from individuals through campaigns on Kickstarter, Mobcaster, Indie GoGo and other Web sites. DTLA, a scripted drama with $30,000 in Kickstarter-raised funding, ran on Logo two months ago. One crowdfunding player is offering partnerships with TV production firms for series appeals. Yes, it's no guarantee that a series with this backing gets a profitable run. On the other hand, it can be a life preserver for creators with nowhere else to turn.
There's your nutshell. Your take is welcome along with mine. Here's to all of us enjoying more unique, quality TV content and services throughout 2013.

In China, All Calls for Freedom Lead to Punishment
04/11/2020 Xiao Baiming
The death of Li Wenliang, the whistleblower Wuhan doctor, stirred an online rebellion in China. But the regime promptly quashed people's demands for free speech.
by Xiao Baiming
The death of Li Wenliang, the doctor who raised concerns about the dangers of the coronavirus and was silenced by the government, ignited a wave of anger among China's population. On the night of his death, February 6, a protest started online, a rarity in the country governed by an authoritarian regime. Wearing face masks with "can't" and "don't understand"—in reference to "Can you manage? Do you understand?" from Dr. Li's forced confession, asking if he could behave and understand what he did wrong—people took to the internet to express the pent-up distrust and despair at the government for concealing information about the virus and its dangers. They also accused the authorities of suppressing free speech. Among them was a man from eastern China. He agreed to talk to Bitter Winter on the condition of anonymity, so we'll call him Mr. Cheng.
"When Li Wenliang died, I wanted to do something to commemorate him," Mr. Cheng told Bitter Winter. "So, I sent a message on my WeChat group, suggesting that the group members change their profile picture to the photo of Li Wenliang and demand to thoroughly investigate why the coronavirus whistleblowers were persecuted, find out who is to blame, and ask for a public apology."
The "can't and don't understand" online campaign demands free speech in China. (taken from the Twitter account of Yaxue Cao).
Mr. Cheng's message was soon forwarded to at least 60 WeChat groups. That same day, the local police stormed into his house, took away his cellphone, and arrested him on suspicion of "disturbing public order."
"The police claimed that my message was intended to subvert the state power. I could be imprisoned for ten years," Mr. Cheng continued. "'Endeavour to take back the freedom of speech to which we are entitled'—this remark was considered of the most grievous nature, compared to the rest of my message." He believes that the government investigated him mainly because of this remark.
Before he was released, Mr. Cheng was asked to sign a statement promising not to post any more "improper remarks." Ironically, it was precisely the silencing of Li Wenliang that had caused the public uproar. He, too, was pressured to promise to no longer publish "untrue remarks" and stop "illegal activities." By muzzling the doctor, the CCP has also lost a chance to prevent a global disaster.
Mr. Cheng added that before he sent out the message, the local police and the village Party secretory visited him, warning not to use Li Wenliang's death to "oppose the Party and the state."
"For the CCP, striving for the fundamental right of the freedom of speech means opposing the Party and the state. If we don't struggle for it, we'll live in an abyss of suffering forever," commented one of Mr. Cheng's friends, who was also harassed by the government for posting "untrue remarks."
Many other netizens joined the online protest, demanding freedom of speech. They were reprimanded and silenced by the police, and nothing has changed—business as usual in China.
The CCP applies the same methods while persecuting people of faith. Those who have signed the Declaration for the Sake of the Christian Faith, a 2018 joint statement by Chinese Christians opposing the government's crackdowns and calling for religious liberties, were later subjected to severe suppression.
"About one month after I signed the joint statement, I was taken to the local Public Security Bureau for questioning because I was accused of 'disturbing social order,'" a house church believer from southern China told Bitter Winter.
After he was released, the man noticed that he was being followed by someone wherever he went, even when he took out the garbage. Not wanting to implicate fellow churchgoers, he stopped attending the church for over two months. However, his troubles did not end there.
In September 2019, more than a dozen police officers went to his workplace and rummaged through his things. They confiscated his religious books and questioned him about what books he had read recently and whether he did missionary work. They also talked to his employer about his recent movements and performance at work, asking to report on him at any time. A few days later, he was fired.
After the elder of a house church in the eastern province of Shandong signed the joint statement, not only was he arrested, but his church was also shut down in April last year. Government officials ordered to cut off the electricity and water supply to the venue and suspended state benefits for all the congregation's families. Before the closure, surveillance cameras were installed at the entrance to the church.

Would you like to add more space to your property in Brighton?
We are based in East Sussex and we work all across the coast of England including Brighton. We know you want to make the most out of your property in Brighton and a great way to create space and value on your existing home is to add an extension. People have property extensions for a number of different reasons. Maybe you would like a bigger kitchen or another bathroom.
This extension can be created so that it spans two floors, increasing the upper floors as well as the lower. Many choose this option as it makes sense to do both at the same time. Doubling the space doesn't necessarily mean doubling the cost, you only need one base foundation and one roof. You will already have a team working there and once it's completed you will have twice the space available.
When you come to choose the type of extension, you will find that there are many options available to you. You can choose to have a conservatory that is attached to the side or rear of your property. Usually, for this type of extension, a wall will be opened up to create a seamless transition into this extra space. Many choose to add space to their kitchen or living room with the room this provides.
Sometimes rather than having your extra space attached to your home, you would prefer an independent outbuilding. It may be that you wish to create a studio for work or guest rooms that are separate from your main living space. If you want to know more about how much this will cost and what options are available to you then read our blog How much will an orangery extension cost?
We are based in East Sussex and we will work with you from day one. If you opt for our complete design and build package we can manage everything from planning applications right through to the completed project. We will keep you informed and up to date with every stage of the project. The first thing we will do when you start working with us is to meet with one of our lead designers who will discuss your project, your timescale and your requirements. Then we will then produce full CAD drawings so that you know how the project will look when it is completed.

The Ulster Unionist Party yesterday made two sensible proposals.
The first proposal is to extend Article 50. This would greatly upset many supporters of Brexit, who want the UK out as planned on March 29.
But there is a very real chance that Brexit will not happen at all, and a delay in Article 50 gives crucial extra breathing time at a time of near national crisis.
The European Union says that all member states must have elected members of its parliament by July 2.
It would be logical therefore to extend Article 50 to July 1, which experts say should be easily attainable and a possibility which senior EU politicians have already conceded.
Such an extension would clearly not radically alter the current impasse but would give both the United Kingdom and the European Union an extra three months to prepare for a possible exit on World Trade Organisation terms.
This would be a managed exit, or as Dr Graham Gudgin described it on these pages last week, a departure based on a number of smaller deals. Almost no-one would choose such a departure as their preferred method of exit, but the EU seems to be showing itself to be intransigent on the backstop, yesterday showing apparent solidarity with Leo Varadkar.
The second UUP suggestion is that the government introduce direct rule in the event of a 'no deal' Brexit.
Direct rule should in fact have been introduced two years ago, after Sinn Fein decided to bring down Stormont.
Since that vandalism, the government has advertised its fear of nationalist criticism by allowing a political limbo, in which civil servants take decisions, to become a medium term way of running Northern Ireland.
This simply cannot happen in the event of 'no deal'.
There is a very real risk however that something akin to the opposite will happen if a managed 'no deal' Brexit happens: that London in a panic suddenly greatly increases Dublin's input into the governance of NI.

Talbot County
Toni Pierce Webb, Muscogee County School District,
Talbot County was created by an act of the Georgia legislature in 1827.
The county was formerly a part of Muscogee County. It is located thirty miles northeast of Columbus and sixty miles west of Macon in west central Georgia. The Flint River forms the northeastern boundary, and Talbotton is the seat of the 393-square-mile county. Both the town and the county are named for Captain Matthew Talbot, who served as Georgia's governor for a short time in 1819. Collinsworth Institute and Talbotton Female Academy (later LeVert College), one of the first schools for females in Georgia, were located in Talbotton.
In 1836 the last of the Creek Indians were forcibly removed from the area,
Talbot County Courthouse
and growth was rapid up until the time of the Civil War (1861-65). By 1850 Talbot was the fifth largest county in the state. The total population was 16,534, just over half of whom were slaves. Cotton production at the time reached 18,800 bales per year. The production of cotton, peaches, and livestock made Talbot one of the wealthiest counties in the state. With the infestation of the boll weevil in the early 1920s, cotton production decreased steadily.
Between 1992 and 1997, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Main Street, Talbotton
land use for farms in Talbot County decreased 5 percent, from 38,313 acres to 36,481 acres. The average size of farms increased from 302 to 329 acres in this same period, while the number of full-time farms decreased from 46 to 40. During the same period, crops accounted for 10 percent and livestock for 90 percent of the market value of agricultural products sold. Talbot County has a 95-acre industrial park located southwest of Talbotton on U.S. Highway 80.
Hunters know Talbot County for its large deer. The county also holds a popular fall festival and car rally. Nearby attractions include Pine Mountain, Warm Springs and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House, the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, Callaway Gardens, Columbus, and the Flint River Recreation Outdoor Center.
According to the 2010 U.S. census the county's population was 6,865, a slight increase from the 2000 population of 6,498.

At Semiahmoo House Society we try to live the Person-Centered Thinking philosophy. We spend time finding out what is important to and for the people we support and work hard to support them in achieving what they want out of life. Here is a recent example of this philosophy in practice.
Hi Everyone – Alan Watts said "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." I recently crossed paths with this quote and it made me think of the team of people who are in Dan's life.
With November 1 approaching quickly…it's time to let you all know what an honour it has been to work with people who really, really get it. That our jobs are about helping people to get the life they want—the life they choose for themselves.
But it's also not really just about Dan "moving on up" (as George Jefferson or John Smith would say!) It's about the end of an era – Laurie McColl House.
While going through 25 years of photo albums recently, I had a profound thought that I had never stopped to think about til now…almost all the people we had the privilege of knowing over the years who came to live at Laurie McColl House and 153 A Street came to a time in their lives when they wanted a different life. Lives they chose for themselves and chose to explore. And through those years and the various staff and team combinations…people listened, honoured them and acted. And it came naturally—it was just the way things were done.
Moving through and over barriers like risk, worry, fear, change – never seemed to get in the way. Because the person was always at the center.
For me I am thankful for the ups, the downs, the learning, the growth, the stories and the memories. And of course, the people! Thank you all for your dedication and your enthusiasm…and for working through these last steps with keeping Dan at the forefront.
I wish you all the best – it's been a blast!
Thank you, Nolda, and the staff of the house on 153 Street, for living the Person-Centered Thinking philosophy.


The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that real economic growth will average 3.5% a year in 2018‑50, and 2.1% in per capita terms. Long-term growth will be supported by Israel's high level of technological innovation and its investment in research and development, on which it spends a larger proportion of GDP than any other country in the world. Natural gas extraction will boost the economy in the 2020s and beyond as the huge Leviathan field finally comes on stream. Despite Israel's high levels of education, skills shortages could become a constraint on growth in the high-tech sector. The working-age population will expand, and labour participation will improve, as more Arabs and ultra-Orthodox Jews enter the workforce.


In our large trees study, we wanted to look at forest structure throughout the state by comparing the 1920s and 30s data with contemporary data collected through the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. The FIA program is similar to the VTM project: Forest Service crews report on the species, size, and health of trees across all forest land ownerships. Our study was comprehensive, covering the five ecological regions of the state – over 120,000 square kilometers in total – and took into account land-management and land-use history.

The Perkiomen Valley Academy (PVA) day-treatment program is one of several individual treatment and alternative educational centers for adolescents in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.  The program serves twelve- to eighteen-year-old students from the eight school districts located in western Montgomery County.

Origin
Originally established in 1976 as an alternative to institutionalization for socially maladjusted youth, PVA leased space in the Upper Perkiomen School District Administration Building.  In June 1980, PVA made its home in a renovated tack shop on Route 73 in Obelisk, Pennsylvania.  In August 1994, PVA relocated to its current education/recreation facility located on Hoffmansville Road in Frederick, Pennsylvania.

Funding
PVA received its first funding through a grant from the federal juvenile justice system.  Students are currently referred by the Montgomery County Juvenile Probation Department, Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth, and the local school districts.  The students at PVA don't succeed in the traditional educational setting for a number of different reasons, including: academic failure, defiance of authority, use of alcohol and other drugs, inability to fit in with peers, and poor family relations.  Many of these youngsters have often survived physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

Applying a combination of individualized academic programming and counseling services, the goal for PVA students is to ultimately accept responsibility for making needed changes.  Graduates of the behavior program can complete their high school education in one of three ways:

Return to their regular public school to finish.
Complete high school graduation requirements at PVA and receive a high school diploma from their home school district.
Earn their General Equivalency Diploma (GED) and enter the job market, or move on to higher education.

Counseling is an integral part of PVA's treatment approach. Parental conferences convene every six weeks, with biweekly telephone contact. Intensive family counseling is available on an as-needed basis, and can occur at school or in the home.  In his Master's Thesis Project: Systematic Programming to Increase Responsible Academic Learning—A Change Project in a Montgomery County Day Treatment Program (1987, Lincoln University), Bradley S. LeVan reports that "PVA, where academic concerns are combined with counseling and family intervention, is a sound model for day treatment.  Both parents and students must take responsibility for setting and achieving specific goals."  According to LeVan, the results include significantly improved academic scores.

Chopped Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted until tender. This easy roasted veggies dish proves that good food can be simple and delicious.
That's all there is to it. If you have never roasted vegetables or don't do it often, I encourage you to make it a habit. Even people who claim that they don't like vegetables, have been known to change their minds after sampling them roasted.
Roasted brussels sprouts and carrots are a great example. I've turned lots of Brussels sprouts haters into lovers, just by suggesting that they give roasting a chance.
Most any vegetable—from asparagus to zucchini—can be roasted on it's own with delicious results. But something magical happens when you mix a variety of them together.
This combination of sweet, savory, soft and crunchy is a wonderful example. Last night, I simply tossed together my recent Farmer's Market finds to accompany our turkey burgers.
The burgers were good, but these luscious roasted brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions stole the show.
If you want a delicious way to eat more vegetables, you owe it to yourself to try roasting.
How Many Calories/WW Points in Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes and Onions?
According to my calculations, each serving has about 78 calories, *2 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *2 WW Freestyle SmartPoints.
This recipe doesn't need to be followed exactly. Use whatever combination works best for you—fewer carrots, more sweet potato; or more Brussels sprouts and skip the sweet potato.
You get the idea. Use what you have and what you like.
If you've made these roasted veggies, please give the recipe a star rating below and leave a comment letting me know how you liked them.
A simple & delicious combination of brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots and onions roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Tip the vegetables out onto the foil lined baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
Bake until the sweet potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and brussels sprouts and onions are golden brown, stirring once or twice, about 30 to 40 minutes.
This recipe sounds wonderful, can't wait to make it!
Absolutely delicious!. Have served this recipe at a recent gathering, printed off the recipe for 4 people. A hit!
I love them all. I used Mrs. Dash herb and garlic and drizzled olive on..


9. March – Multiple sinkholes appear off homes on Lisa Drive in West Whiteland, forcing the evacuation of one family and jeopardizing the health and safety of others. Dinniman, who warned of the potential for sinkholes months earlier, calls on the PUC to immediately halt construction of ME2 and operation of ME. It approves an emergency shut down of ME1. The PUC allows operation of ME2 to resume a month later.
8. April – Sunoco waits until Easter and Passover weekend to offer to displace and relocate residents of Lisa Drive, where the sinkholes have appeared, for four to six weeks while it investigates that geophysical conditions behind their homes. Sunoco's investigation finds that Sunoco did everything right.
7. April (again) – More sinkholes open up near ME2 construction. Sunoco claims pipeline construction is not to blame for the holes, rather they are the work of large rodents. Despite the implications of massive-sized rodent infestation, residents remain more concerned about the dangers of a potential pipeline rupture.
6. May – PUC Administrative Law Judge Elizabeth Barnes sides with Dinniman's petition for emergency relief, halting construction of the entire Mariner East project (ME1, ME2 and ME2X) in West Whiteland Township citing, "The ignition of such a potential vapor cloud could have catastrophic results. It would be injurious to the public to not slow down this project for further safety and pipeline integrity tests . . . " In typical fashion, the PUC reopens ME1 a month later.
5. June – Residents discover what appears to be an exposed pipeline in Uwchlan Township. The PUC says it is ME1, that they knew about it and told Sunoco to watch it several weeks ago. Sunoco later says that it's an inactive portion of ME1 and there's nothing to worry about. Amazingly, no one loses an eye in all the finger-pointing.
Dinniman wonders if the PUC even knows where all of the pipelines are and what is going through them? He also asks, how can we be monitoring pipelines and not realize they are inactive?
4. August – Faulty sections of ME2 are quietly removed and replaced by Sunoco due to "coating flaws" or "coating issues." The PUC is tight-lipped. Sunoco's response seems to amount: "Nothing to see here." Later, it is determined that corrosion concerns are an ongoing issue on Sunoco's pipelines.
3. October – Sunoco's hydrostatic testing of ME is apparently botched in West Whiteland Township. A homeowner notices an apparent brightly-colored substance – indicating a potential leak in the pipe – in groundwater emerging on her property and immediately notifies authorities. Sunoco first says it's algae (the color is also chalked up to grass-clippings at one point), but Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) officials later confirm that a similar colored dye was used in the testing. Sunoco insists there are no leaks and finally it is learned that the groundwater in question was never even tested to check for a potential leak.
2. November – Sunoco plans to link three new and existing pipes – a new 20-inch pipe (the original Mariner East 2), a new16-inch pipe (originally dubbed "Mariner East 2X"), and a repurposed 12-inch petroleum pipeline – in an attempt to salvage the Mariner East pipeline project. Critics call it "Franken-Pipe," probably too cute of a name for something so dangerous. The 12-inch pipeline has a long history of leaks, including 33,516 gallons of gasoline as recently as mid-June of this year, a 2015 leak in Edgemont Township (Delaware County), and 70,000 gallons leaked in West Whiteland Township in 1987 that remains to be completely remediated.
1. December – The PUC's own Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement clarifies that it never said the 12-inch line that is now part of the ME project is "safe" but that doesn't mean that it's "unsafe." This confusing claim comes in a court filing in response to an assertion Sunoco made in the case of an emergency petition brought by seven residents to shut down the ME project due to safety concerns. Residents feel even less safe.
BONUS: Amid a criminal investigation by the Chester County District Attorney and multiple complaints pending before the courts, Sunoco announces that the rebranded ME2 is operational on the weekend between Christmas and New Year's.

Regional State Administrative Agencies have a range of licensing, enforcement and cadastral responsibilities relating to cemeteries and burials. The Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland provides advice on the application of the Finnish Funeral Services Act free of charge. There is a processing fee for applications, and the same fee applies regardless of whether or not an application is successful.
Cemeteries and private burial grounds
Can I start a cemetery?
We can authorise registered organisations and foundations (such as registered religious communities) to start a cemetery.
What do I need to get authorisation?
Cemeteries are not permitted to be profit-seeking.
In order to be authorised to start a cemetery, you need to be able to demonstrate that you are capable of taking care of one. This involves, among other things, producing a realistic plan of how your cemetery will be managed in the long term.
The property manager must own the land on which the cemetery is established. If the property manager does not own the land, they must have
the landowner's permission to start the cemetery and
a priority lease or other right to the property.
The lease or other right must be for a fixed term of at least 130 and no more than 200 years. The lease must cover the entire property.
The property must be free of all liens and encumbrances within the meaning of the Funeral Services Act. Any restrictions on the use of the property must be entered into the land register.
Can I establish a private burial ground?
We can authorise the establishment of a private burial ground for a specific deceased person in special circumstances. The location must be suitable for the purpose, and the landowner or tenant must give their consent.
Do cemeteries and private burial grounds appear in the Finnish Land Information System?
Yes. We inform the controller of the Land Information System of the establishment of any new cemeteries or private burial grounds in order to allow for the relevant property records to be updated. The existence of a cemetery or a private burial ground on a property affects its use.
Interment of ashes
Do I need permission to bury ashes?
No permission is needed if you are not starting a private burial ground. A grave without a headstone or other visible marker does not constitute a private burial ground.
If you want to erect a headstone or a visible marker of some other kind, you need to seek permission to start a private burial ground from the competent Regional State Administrative Agency, which in this case is the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland. We have prepared a template for seeking permission.
You also need consent from the landowner before you can bury or scatter ashes on their property or in a body of water on their land. If the property is occupied by a tenant, you also need the tenant's permission. It is best to ask for the permission in writing to avoid misunderstandings later.
How long do I have to bury ashes?
You have one year from the cremation of your loved one to either permanently bury or scatter their ashes.
The crematorium must be told in writing where the ashes will be interred before the urn can be released. If the person responsible for interment has not dealt with the ashes within one year despite a reminder, the crematorium has the right to inter the ashes in an appropriate cemetery at the estate's expense.
Exhumation and relocation
Can an interred body or cremated remains be moved to another grave?
In Finnish burial culture, a grave is considered to be a final resting place and the inviolability of graves is important.
An interred body or cremated remains can only be moved to another grave in special circumstances. To relocate an interred body or ashes, you need permission from the competent Regional State Administrative Agency, which in this case is the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland. We have prepared a template for seeking permission.
Consent from health protection authorities is also required.
In what circumstances can interred remains be relocated?
We examine each case individually to determine whether grounds for relocation exist. Relocation can be authorised, for example, if
it was not originally possible to bury the deceased in the location of their or their family's choice,
the deceased was a refugee or an asylum seeker, and the situation in their home country changes so that their remains can now safely be moved there, or
moving the remains is necessary due to important health protection or land use reasons.
We recommend that you contact us as soon as you become aware of a reason to move interred remains to find out more even before you formally request relocation.
State aid towards grave maintenance
For what purposes can state aid be granted?
State aid can be granted for the maintenance of Finnish war and civilian cemeteries as well as the war graves of the displaced population.
Aid is also granted for the maintenance of cemeteries in the ceded territory. Cemeteries in the ceded territory refer to war graves as well as military and civilian cemeteries of Finnish soldiers in the territory that was ceded to Russia at the end of the Second World War.
The aid is granted for costs related to the maintenance and renovation of graves and cemeteries (wages, purchase of services, purchase of materials, supplies and goods), travel, transport and other necessary costs. No aid is available for planning trips or drafting the plans.
The maintenance of graves may include e.g. the restoration of burial sites, their maintenance and preservation, the erection of monuments and statues, the setting up of memorial plates and planting flowers, and other measures related to the preservation of the memory of the deceased.
How do I apply for state aid?
The application period is open once a year in spring.
The deadline for applications for Finnish war and civilian cemeteries is on 17 May 2022 by 16.15 o'clock. There are no state aid granted for the war graves of the displaced population in the year 2022.
Individuals, companies or organisations as well as public administration organisations can apply for the aid.
Submit the application on a form reserved for this purpose. Submit the application to the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland by the deadline. You can find the contact information on the application form.
The aid can be used until the end of the year when it was granted. Submit a report on the use of the grant to the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland by the end of March of the year following the application year.
Can reimbursement be sought for the cost of maintaining graves of Russian soldiers of war?
It is possible to apply for maintenance aid for the maintenance of burial sites and monuments of Russian soldiers in Finland. This falls in the scope of preserving the memory of Russian soldiers who were killed in Finland as a result of the Second World War.
To qualify for the aid, you must first make a maintenance agreement on grave or memorial maintenance with the Regional State Administrative Agency for Eastern Finland. The contract may be concluded by a person, company or organisation as well as by a public administration organisation.
Aid is paid for the costs related to the maintenance and renovation of graves and cemeteries (work fees, purchase of services, purchase of materials, supplies and goods), travel and transport costs and other necessary costs in accordance with the maintenance agreement.

Q: How to get express-gateway working in kubernetes? I'm building a microservice app where I used nginx-ingress to wire-up all my services which worked fine but now I would like to add some advanced features like jwt-authentication. Instead of implementing it in each service I thought I would use an API gateway and chose express-gateway because it seemed simple to setup. I tested everything locally (without docker/kubernetes) and everything worked as expected in less then 5 minutes.
My problem is that I can't get the gateway to pass the request to the actual service. The request reaches the gateway tho. I'm using minikube on Ubuntu and added a host to my host file so that I don't have to remember the minikube IP.
Usually I reach my service by https://app.dev/api/users/signup.
This is my gateway.config.yaml
http:
  port: 8080
apiEndpoints:
  auth:
    host: '*'
    path: '/api/users/*'
serviceEndpoints:
  authsrv:
    url: 'http://localhost:3000/'
policies:
  - basic-auth
  - cors
  - expression
  - key-auth
  - log
  - oauth2
  - proxy
  - rate-limit
pipelines:
  auth:
    apiEndpoints:
      - auth
    policies:
      - proxy:
          - action:
              serviceEndpoint: authsrv
              changeOrigin: true

The  apiEnpoints is for configuring the route that you call while the serviceEndpoints are what is called by the gateway so the internal IP of the microservice. I think that this is the issue I have no idea what the actual host is or how the gateway can get this information. When I used an ingress-nginx I never had to specify the host of the microservice. Because every time you boot up its different right so I don't understand what I have to do here. Any advice? Sadly express gateway has no docs of how to set it up with kubernetes the docs just say that its possible ):
Here is the rest of my config:my-service-depl.yaml (simple NodeJS express app)
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment

  name: auth-depl

  selector:
    app: gateway
  type: ClusterIP

express-gateway: Dockerfile
FROM expressgateway/express-gateway
COPY ./config/ /var/lib/eg/

A: Now I understand. Inside Kubernetes the service-name is the domain for its IP so to call the service inside kubernetes I have to use the service-name in this case: auth-srv.
instead of:
serviceEndpoints:
  authsrv:
    url: 'http://localhost:3000/'

use service-name as host:
serviceEndpoints:
  authsrv:
    url: 'http://auth-srv:3000/'


If leakage and moisture penetration is cause by building movement or settlement with resultant "joint-checking", your stone caulk/sealant needs some assistance. Unknown building movement is among the primary causes of joint caulk/sealant failure. To specify a particular caulk/sealant, owner/architect must determine extremes of joint movement. Sealant manufacturers offer scribe kits to make these determinations and calculations.
Caulking/sealing a stone joint does not remove nor compensate for movement or settlement of a building. It is suggested the interposition of WEATHERCAP® (as illustrated) in caulked/sealed stone joints to take the abuse of such stress is in order; and, WEATHERCAP®, being an ADJUNCT to caulk/sealant, reduces the size opening of a joint to be caulked/sealed to assure improved, long lasting, leak-free joints.
Interpose WEATHERCAP® in your caulked/sealed joints. The selection of proper sized WEATHERCAP® is controlled by measurement of joint opening to be caulked/sealed plus maximum percentage of joint movement experienced per scribe test plus ¼''. The aforestated is the sum size of the outer dimension of each WEATHERCAP® as installed (See chart on next page).
WEATHERCAP® is a soft lead strip, when set and bedded in caulking compound/sealant, form a cap which assures a permanent elastic seal for any masonry joint. After installation, WEATHERCAP'S® surface oxidizes rapidly to a dead neutral grey which blends with masonry.
It is made in Type A and Type B, as illustrated (not to scale), all shipments being in 6' lengths.
Trade Parlance: -"T" Caps; Lead Arrowheads, Stone Flashing, etc.


Our Trio started out playing at the Bar Next Door, and that gig enabled us to really develop as a group. We play the music of Wayne Shorter, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk. I feel that this music gives a lot of freedom to have intensity in our improvisations, while still having a great compositional structure underneath. These four composers are some of the greatest from Jazz History.

In this Quintet, we play instrumental versions of great songs from the Cuban Son repertoire. The group features: Flute, Cuban Tres Guitar, Bass, Drums and Percussion. Great for any event, whether as a concert or background music.
Vincent Chancey & Phat Chance is a high energy Trio.
We play a mixture of Fully Improvised Music, Straight Ahead Jazz, and Latin Jazz. I have really enjoyed working with this wonderful group.
is a unique exploratory duo. Featuring Amir Ziv on drums/percussion and Steve Bloom on guitar/electronics.
Amir Ziv is a founding member of DROID and KOTKOT. He has performed with John Zorn, Medeski Martin and Wood, Ornette Coleman, Lauryn Hill and many more. Amir is an eclectic and vibrant percussionist who lends a unique array of sounds to the duo.
Steve is controlling a rack of electronics mixing conventional and non-conventional sounds. BloomziV's music is both groove and soundscape and will take you on an uncharted journey.
