Wołomin ist eine Stadt im Powiat Wołomiński der Woiwodschaft Masowien in Polen. Sie ist Sitz des Powiat und der gleichnamigen Stadt-und-Land-Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ).

Sie befindet sich ca. 20 Kilometer nordöstlich von der Hauptstadt Warschau.

Geschichte
Wołomin wurde erstmals im 15. Jahrhundert urkundlich erwähnt. Es blieb lange Zeit eine Kleinstadt von nicht allzu großer Bedeutung, bis die Eisenbahnlinie im Jahre 1862 von Warschau nach Białystok gebaut wurde. Von da an gewann Wołomin auch zunehmende Bedeutung für den Sommertourismus aus Warschau.

Wołomin erlangte 1919 das Stadtrecht. Bis vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hatte die Stadt eine bedeutende jüdische und russische Bevölkerung, welche aber aufgrund der deutschen Besatzung ins Warschauer Ghetto umgesiedelt wurde und von dort aus in Vernichtungslager wie Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert wurden.
Die Stadt war während des Zweiten Weltkriegs Schauplatz zahlreicher Schlachten zwischen der Sowjetunion und dem Deutschen Reich.

Von 1975 bis 1998 gehörte die Stadt zur Woiwodschaft Warschau.

$2.4 Billion School Budget Proposed
Budget includes new positions, salary increases to address growing student population.
By Victoria Ross
Fairfax County — Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Superintendent Jack D. Dale presented a $2.4 billion budget proposal to the school board on Jan. 12, reflecting a nine percent – or $202.3 million increase - in next year's operating budget.
With a projected enrollment of 181,608 students, the proposed budget includes an additional 721.3 positions to support an additional 3,900 students, as well as cost-of-living increases for all eligible employees. Since 2008, the district's enrollment has grown by more than 15,000 students.

"Over the past five years, we have added the (student population) equivalent of a high school, middle school and 16 elementary schools," Ted Velkoff (At-large) said after the Jan. 12 school board meeting, during which Dale released details of the budget.
Velkoff added there is a "pent-up need" for increased funding. "The funding has been pretty flat over the past five years, while we've been absorbing that many students and we've had no corresponding increase in funding," Velkoff said.
"We are seeing the greatest increases in the numbers of our students with additional needs," Dale said. "Since 2008, the number of students enrolled in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) has risen 48.3 percent, and the number of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals is up 35.4 percent."
This fall, FCPS will open two new schools: a middle school at the South County site and an elementary school at the Lacey site.
Budget Facts
Funds to expand Pathways to the Baccalaureate, part of the College Success program, to four additional schools - Centreville, Chantilly, South County and Westfield High Schools - and to expand the program to 10th and 11th grades at Annandale, Edison, Falls Church, Lee, Mount Vernon, South Lakes, and Stuart High Schools and Hayfield Secondary School.
The program works to develop college readiness and provide ongoing support to students who enroll in Northern Virginia Community College with the intent of transferring to a four-year Virginia college to earn a bachelor's degree. Fairfax, Herndon, Marshall, and West Potomac High Schools also offer a similar program called the College Success program.
The projected cost per pupil for FY 2013 will be $13,654, an increase of 6.5 percent over the current operating budget.
The Fairfax County School Board will hold public hearings on the FY 2013 budget on Jan. 30 and 31 at Jackson Middle School, 3020 Gallows Road. A speakers' list for those public hearings opened on Jan. 13 at: www.fcps.edu/schl.... For complete information on the FCPS FY 2013 budget, including the budget calendar, visit www.fcps.edu/fs/b...
The proposed budget includes the addition of 26 positions to address large class sizes and 12 positions to support the expansion of the World Languages program in elementary schools. Eight schools will add the Foreign Languages in the Elementary Schools (FLES) program, and two new schools will implement the Foreign Language Immersion program.
Under Dale's plan, extended learning time for students and extended time for teachers are included in the budget, as well as a 2-percent cost-of-living increase for employees. Teacher salaries have been frozen for two years.
"It is imperative for FCPS to stay competitive in the marketplace in order to continue to attract the best employees to support student success," Dale said. "We continue to dedicate the majority of our budget, 85.9 percent, and the majority of our positions, 94.6 percent, directly to instructional programs."
"I was content to see that teacher compensation was again prioritized in this year's budget. Sustaining compensation increases from last year shows Fairfax's commitment to ensuring that those who teach here can afford to live here," said Ryan McElveen (At-large).
"However, I was disappointed to see that athletic fees were not addressed in the budget. In terms of cost, they are a low-hanging fruit at less than $2 million." McElveen said athletic fees, as well as booster fees, fundraisers and spirit-pack payments, can be a significant burden on students of low-income families. "I hope that the board will remember these students and their families in the coming months."

Martial Arts: Types, Benefits, Tips for Finding a Class


Is MK-677 the Next Generation HGH?
Shrouded as a natural mystique, HGH (Growth Hormone) or GH releasers has frequently been given credited for incredible physical results. Unfortunately, their expensive price tag and questionable market has made the compound a novelty product only the bodybuilding elite can afford.
As a result, many users have flocked to using a safer alternative: MK-677.
There are a number of things that sets MK-677 apart from GH releasers.
For instance, MK-677 isn't even considered at GH peptide at all. As a matter of fact, it's a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator). For a majority of people, they would tend to think of them as compounds with steroid-like capabilities.
But SARMs aren't just restricted to mimicking what steroids do. They have a number of positive effects in the body including the ability to burn fat, build muscle, and increase GH levels.
MK-677 is a drug that can only be taken once daily since it has a longer active life. Among GH releasers, only one compound can be dosed similarly to MK-677. The rest will require an intake of three to five times daily to ensure GH levels remain elevated for a certain period of time.
While GH releasers are effective for the short term, fitness buffs have admitted to struggle with the drug since elevated levels of blood glucose can render any GH releaser ineffective. But with MK-677, taking it once daily is already beneficial. Keep in mind that additional doses of the drug will not lead to added benefits.
One known effect of GH releasers is their capability of stimulating appetite. Since they mimic the function of ghrelin, they have a significant impact on hunger for a majority of users.
MK-677 functions in the exact same manner as GH releasers. The drug stimulates hunger shortly after being administered. Compared to GH releasers, such effect can last anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
MK-677 is more than just capable of increasing GH and IGF-1 levels. It also increases levels of IGFBP-3, which help potentiate the positive effects of IGF-1 in terms of muscle growth.
For those who are struggling to sleep at night or don't feel as rested as they should be, MK-677 can be helpful. The drug has been proven to promote deep and restful sleep countless times.
With a plethora of health benefits, it's not surprising why MK-677 has rapidly risen in popularity the past several years. For those who desire the benefits of increased GH levels and want a drug at an affordable price without facing any health risks, MK-677 is the way to go.
MK-677 is a great alternative that mimics the positive effects of steroids without any adverse effects. It's easy to take in the body and isn't considered an illegal substance.


The dedicated FlexTT5 Transceiver, with its built in hot-shoe and ControlTL™ software, is the perfect addition to Canon E-TTL II flash systems. The FlexTT5 takes the existing benefits of Canon wireless systems and pushes them past the boundaries of infrared technology. When paired with the Mini TT1™ Transmitter or another FlexTT5 Transceiver, a whole new world of wireless flash freedom opens up. The FlexTT5 is also the perfect Transceiver for your manual triggering needs and works with all MultiMAX channels and many of the MultiMAX advanced functions.
Comments | [10/29/14] One of the so called attractiveness of the TT1/TT5 is the ability to shoot high speed sync. That never worked for my with my D700/SB800 set up. In fact, It sometimes fails to fire even at 1/250 sec.
Comments | [05/26/11] Nice piece of gear. Used them for some remote work for basketball and some corporate event work this year. Very nice to be able to use with the MultiMaxes and Plus IIs. A great feture is being able to use the Multimax to control the zones, ABC. So you can change the direction of light when needed. Also able to set the receive and transmit channels to different ones, was able to fire off a remote camera and trigger strobes with them. Still learning them, but very happy with how they are working. Of course haven't fully played with the TTL functions yet, but in the little I have it seems to work very well.
Comments | [05/26/11] The better of the Flex/Mini set to come from PW. While it is tough to change the channels in the field, the unit can be "trained" using another PW, such as a MultiMAX, which is what I have done. I tend to prefer the Flex units on camera, and Max units remotely, if not using TTL.


Designed to turn wood, the simple pattern maker's lathes were, nevertheless, very well built and all (except the 10-inch) fitted as standard with a screw-feed compound slide that enabled the finest quality work to be produced.
Heavily built and using bronze bearings (often referred to as "boxes" in contemporary literature) the headstocks were fitted with a simple sump lubrication system with the oil raised into the bearings through wicks that ensured (should any dirt have worked its way into the sump) only clean oil was drawn up into the bearings. The spindle end thrust was taken against a hardened screwed ring, fibre washers being imposed between it and the bearing. The headstocks of some models - but not the 16-inch or larger - were able to be swivelled a few degrees either side of centre.
Made from high-carbon steel, finish ground and bored through, the headstock spindles on most of the smaller models extended right through the left-hand bearing and carried a faceplate on their outer end for large-diameter bowl turning. Although no turning rest was fastened to the end of the bed, the makers provided a heavy floor-standing rest - which could be bolted down or left loose and levered into the most advantageous position for the job in hand. The Fay & Scott rest was not as heavy as some - the biggest, by makers like Wadkin in England and Oliver in the USA, were so massive that they had jacks and wheels built in to ease their positioning.
Turned on both its inside and outside surfaces for better balance, the 5-step headstock pulley - or cone - had its smallest diameter arranged to be against the all-important front bearing - so allowing that to be larger and built onto a greater mass of supporting iron. Unfortunately the company appears not to have taken full advantage of this design feature for, beneath the smaller pulleys, the gap to the headstock casting was rather greater than it needed to be. Each lathe was supplied with a large faceplate for the rear of the spindle and a small one for the front, a rosette centre or screw chuck, large and small driving or spur centres, one cup or rail centre, a hand-rest turning holder with a right-angle rest and three others of different lengths, one floor-stand rest holder - and the necessary wrenches. Fay and Scott also manufactured a selection of headstocks and tailstocks with swings of 12, 16 or 20 inches designed to assist the builders of home-made wood-turning lathes - these often being relatively crude devices with a wooden bed or even just bolted to a substantial bench.
Metal-turning engine lathes of the sliding-bed type were given a model designation that indicated the swing over the bed and in the gap - the smallest (in the first decade of the 20th century) being the 16-32 inch, with progression through ever larger models - the 18-36 inch, 20-42 inch, 24-46 inch, 28-52 inch and 32-56 inch - to a massive 38-66 inch. As an option, the makers offered to increase the swing in the solid of all versions by an extra 4 inches, obviously a reference to packing out the casting moulds to their maximum capacity. Although all the large sliding-bed lathes incorporated an ordinary backgear system, most were also offered with the option of a double-reduction, the final drive being to a gear fastened to the inside face of a giant, T-slotted faceplate (the idea being to reduce the peripheral speed, which, on a large diameter, could be considerable). The arrangement was called, confusingly, triple gearing. Lathes with no backgear were referred to as single geared (that is, geared down by belt drive) and with an ordinary backgear as double geared. In line with the work they were expected to do - and the giant faceplates they carried - the gearing was altered according to their size: the two smallest models were given an initial ratio of 11 : 1 and, with the secondary included, an overall reduction of 32: 1. Apart from the very largest machine (geared at 12.5 : 1 and 36 : 1) all the other were set at 12 : 1 initial and 34: 1 overall. At its largest catalogues size, with a capacity of 9 feet between centres, the Model 38-66 inch weighed 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg) and needed two potable jacks to support the end of the extended bed..
* including: lathes, corn-husking machines, aircraft landing light systems, gaging & weighing machines, boring mills for Giddings & Lewis, grinders for Landis, drills, gear hobbers, M-1 carbine grenade launchers, radar units, etc….
The Fay & Scott factory at Dexter, Maine, was located in the central part of the State (literally in the middle of nowhere and remote from other machine-tool makers). The company had its own foundry and concentrated on the production of lathes, having a complete line of both engine and pattern-making types.
A very large capacity 90-inch Pattern Maker's Faceplate Lathe displaying a novel approach to solving the problem of adapting a relatively compact machine for both ordinary centre work and the turning of very large diameters.
The lathe and its attachments weighed 5,000 lbs - and was obviously designed for serious work. The headstock bearings were 27/8" in diameter (as was the massive tailstock barrel) and 61/8" long; both the 1" bore headstock spindle and tailstock carried No. 4 Morse taper centres. The entire tailstock casting could be slid along the base plate and bolted down - but this had to be done manually, there being no form of rack or screw assistance fitted.
The carriage was mounted on a separate column, itself fitted to a T-slotted base plate and adjustable over a wide range of positions to enable both inside and outside cuts to be taken.
If even larger diameters needed to be turned, a faceplate could be fitted to the left-hand end of the spindle and a pit dug in the floor to accommodate the work. The separate rest provided for this (undoubtedly entertaining) exercise carried either a socket to take a T rest, or a toolholder on a compound slide rest.
Whilst these lathes were undoubtedly built to order (and the bed plate could be specified in any length the customer desired) one of the few options listed was a "gear-cutting attachment". This was a relatively common edition to this type of commercial lathe and used to prepare patterns for the manufacture of cast gears. Providing the castings were fine enough the gears could be used in cheaper machinery without having to touch the teeth and, as a consequence (until the late 1930s), it was not unusual to see lathe makers advertising their products as having gears "cut from the solid" or with "properly hobbed teeth" to distinguish them from their cheaper rivals.
The baby of the range: Fay & Scott's 10-inch Pattern Maker's Plain Lathe, designed for lighter work and use by "Manual Training Schools".
With a specified countershaft speed of 800 rpm the headstock spindle would have turned at 3200 rpm on top speed - and 800 rpm on bottom.
The bed could be ordered in lengths of 4, 6 and 8 feet, with the 4 foot model accommodating 24 inches between centres and weighing 375 lbs.
Fay & Scott's 16 and 18-inch Pattern Maker's Lathe with rack-feed carriage and compound slide rest. This was a strong plain lathe with the 9/16" bore No. 2 Morse taper headstock spindle running in bearings with a diameter of 111/16" and a length of 31/2"
The two-speed countershaft ran at 700 and 85 rpm providing a total of eight speeds which spanned a very useful 80 to 2450 rpm. The bed could be ordered in any length, in intervals of even feet, with a six-foot long bed giving a between-centres capacity of 42 inches and a weight of 800 lbs. Each extra foot of bed added 50 lbs.
Fay & Scott 36 to 60-inch Extending Gap Pattern Maker's Lathe.
As was usual with Fay & Scott lathes this type was available with a choice of centre heights, either 30" without the swivelling headstock, 36" with it or, to special order and including an extra-heavy bed, 42". The design was ingenious, with a separate sliding bed that could be positioned by means of a screw and handwheel; the bed was locked to the massive base casting by the two levers seen hanging just below the horizontal.
With the bed closed right up to the headstock the 10-foot version admitted 41/2 feet between the headstock and rack-feed tailstock - and when fully extended 81/2 feet. As the bed was moved outwards a pair of loose jacks (supplied by Fay & Scott) had to be positioned under the tailstock end to support it. The gap admitted, relative to the preciously-mentioned centre heights, diameters of 54 inches, 60 inches or 70 inches - and of course, as the bed was drawn out, its length capacity increased as well. The beds could be ordered in any even floor length, with the 10 foot version weighing, depending upon the centre height, between 6000 and 7000 lbs.
Interestingly, when turning larger diameters, the lathe was designed to run backwards, with the turning tool supported on brackets fastened to the back of the bed. The saddle was also extended backwards, and supported by a bracket fastened to its underside and sliding in a recess machined in the bottom bed. The extended portion of the apron carried a screw-feed that was able to drive a slide rest along the back bracket; ingenious …..
With a single-speed drive from the electric motor, the countershaft could be ordered with a reversing mechanism that reduced the spindle speed by a factor of 3.
The two sizes of lathe were identical, save for the centre height and the absence of a swivel plate under the headstock of the smaller machine.
The two sizes of lathe were again identical, apart from the centre height and the absence of a swivel plate under the headstock of the smaller machine. The 36-inch version could also be ordered with a 42-inch swing, in which case a heavier bed was supplied as well.
Belt-drive power feed to the carriage was not standard on this lathe, but an extra; the feed could be reversed in direction by a knob on the front of the apron.
The largest model offered for regular delivery in the early years of the 20th century was the massive Model 38-66-inch. The backgearing have a reduction of 12.5 to one on its first stage and 36 to 1 on the second. As part of the regular equipment, the lathe was fitted with power feed to the top slide.
The headstocks were heavily built and used bronze bearings (often referred to as "boxes" in contemporary literature) with lubrication from oil sumps within the casting; the oil was raised into the bearings through a wick which dipped into the oil. This method ensured that, should any dirt work its way into the sump, it was impossible for it to be drawn up into the bearings - only clean oil was supplied. The spindle end thrust was taken against a screwed ring, fibre washers being imposed between it and the bearing surface.
Floor stand for use with the outside bowl-turning faceplate.
Fay and Scott also manufactured a selection of items designed to assist the builders of home-made wood-turning lathes. The headstocks and tailstocks were made with swings of 12, 16 or 20 inches - and were often crudely fastened to a wooden bed of great length, or simply bolted to a substantial bench.
Large Fay & Scott sliding-bed lathe with triple gearing on the headstock. Some time and effort has gone into ensuring that this most useful lathe could stay in active service. The built-on drive system uses a rear-mounted motor driving to a 2-speed gearbox and then down to the largest of the headstock pulleys. Note the use of V-belts on the flat pulleys; despite its appearance, this can be a surprisingly effective arrangement.
Changewheel drive to the leadscrew. Note the positive, spring-loaded lock on the handle used to engage backgear.

No 7 skin are Dr Oz, reversing the effects of aging means that you use all the false information that marketers, diet planners and so-called health gurus have given you and thrown out of the window. With these simple and practical tips you will not only look younger, but you will also feel younger.
Anti-aging skin care we all know that it is important to wash your face, but to wash too much and using the wrong skin care products can really cause dryness and premature wrinkles. Add the following three maintenance tips to your routine to reset the clock.
Washing with AHAs Wash your face every night and only at night with an Alpha-Hydroxy (AHA) -based cleaner. Most non-AHA cleansers are not good enough to remove all the dirt that accumulates all day on your skin with soap and water by simply cleaning the top layer of dirt.
AHAs are soft acids derived from fruits that actually help to dissolve dirt and accumulations of dead cells, to remove them, and to allow faster growth of young skin cells beneath. 10-15. Pay attention to the label on "-like" ingredients such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or tartaric acid.
Use a penny every night to cleanse your skin and remove make-up. Her exfoliated skin will better absorb the creams that she will later apply, leaving her with radiant, radiant and younger looking skin.
Homemade Scrubs For a youthful complexion, you must supplement your AHA sleepwear with a weekly AHA skin scrub at home. This removes dead skin cells and makes your skin clearer and firmer. Look for peelings in the house that contain glycolic acid for the best results.
Mega Humectant Every morning and after your nightly cleansing with AHA, you should apply a skin humidifier with ceramides. Ceramides are a type of fat that helps the skin retain moisture and irritants.
Just apply a quantity the size of a Groschen and spread over the entire face in the morning and in the evening for maximum moisture content. Anti-aging nutrition it takes more than just skin care to look 7 years younger, what you put in your body is so important.
Add the following four foods to your weekly shopping list to keep your youthful skin fit for years. Yellow pepper for wrinkles Paprika not only tastes great in sautéed and salads, but also good for your skin.
Yellow peppers are rich in vitamin C, which prevents harmful free radicals from damaging the skin. Eggs for the slackness of the skin Studies show that lean protein provides protein building blocks for collagen, the protein-rich connective tissue that gives the skin water to prevent sagging.
Whole grain barley for damaged skin Whole grain barley is a good source of selenium, a mineral that protects your skin from injuries caused by the sun's harmful UV rays.
Salmon in imperfections Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to ease the inflammation that causes the skin to come out of imperfections. Salmon also contains a chemical called astaxanthin, which gives the fish its pink color.
This chemical can have the same beneficial effect on your skin and give it a youthful appearance. Sleeping against aging Inadequate sleeping habits not only lead to bad mood that is accompanied by fatigue, but can also lead to premature pains and wrinkles.
Here are three tips to ensure that you get the right sleep to undo the effects of aging. Change your pillow position the key to sleeping against aging is to sleep on your back. Holding the face prevents it from being crushed on the pillow, which can contribute to wrinkles.
It also reduces the symptoms of acid reflux, because gravity lowers the diaphragm and makes your chest bigger for a much larger breath.
Finally, sleeping on the side can lead to spinal deformities; By assuming a neutral posture at night when you lie on your back, you will feel less pain in the morning. Switching to sleeping on your back can initially be an adjustment, but if you put a pillow under your knees and under your neck, the change is made immediately.
Use a cheap wedge cushion or pillow that can be formed and place the padding in the bottom third of the pillow for a good night's sleep. Sleep consistency surprisingly, the consistency of your sleep is more important than the number of hours of sleep.
If you maintain a constant sleep routine, Biorhythms and certain hormones in your body will be released during certain stages of sleep. The lack of constant sleep interrupts the normal release of these hormones, which influence every biological process.
This interruption can lead to an increase of inflammatory substances in the bloodstream. These anti-inflammatory drugs damage the skin at the cellular level, leading to premature aging. Make sure you make a sleep plan and stick to it, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, whether it is on a weekday or in a weekend.
To ensure that you wake up at the same time every day, drill out the bedroom alarm. And yes, that means you have to take it from the bedside table or even from the other side of the dresser.


"Yes, the time has come for Ukraine to receive critical capabilities like Javelin anti-tank missiles," said Derek Chollet, who stepped down as assistant secretary of Defense for international security affairs last month, in an op-ed in Defense One.
"Such weapons would take care of some Russian-supplied armor, raising the costs on Moscow and boosting Ukrainian morale."
Chollet's call comes as lawmakers raise pressure on the White House to provide more help to Ukraine.
Chollet, currently a counselor and senior advisor at the German Marshall Fund, though, added that such weapons would not "alter the military balance fundamentally." He cited the time it takes to procure and deliver such assistance, as well as the "limited quantities" under consideration.
Chollet said the U.S. also needs to help the Ukrainian military with trainin. The U.S. aims to begin training three battalions of Ukrainian forces next month along with a robust military-exercise program.
The White House has said it is considering providing lethal aid to Ukrainian forces, after a recently-negotiated ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow fell apart.
White House is Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that arming Ukraine is "under active consideration" by the administration.
The president has so far decided not to provide the Ukrainian military with lethal assistance, out of concern that it would provoke further aggression from Moscow, which has fueled an armed insurgency in Ukraine since it invaded and annexed the Crimean peninsula last March.
The U.S. and European Union have hit Moscow with multiple rounds of sanctions, provided over $200 million in non-lethal aid, and begun helping reform Ukraine's outmoded defense institutions.
However, the White House is facing bipartisan pressure from both the House and Senate to provide arms to Ukraine to increase the costs for Russia of continuing aggression, and to deter another invasion.
Chollet implored the U.S. and European allies to step up and do more to help Ukraine, which borders NATO and has a "long history of security cooperation with the U.S. and European partners."
"While there may not be a 'military solution' to the current conflict, Ukraine's future rests on having a military that is strong, professional, cohesive and capable – a military that can defend its borders and contribute to regional security. That's only possible if the U.S. and Europe work together to help," he wrote.

In Salmon Protection and Watershed Network v. County of Marin, 205 Cal. App. 4th 195 (2012) ("SPAWN"), the California Court of Appeal has upheld the use of tolling agreements between public agencies and parties challenging the adequacy of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared in connection with the adoption of a general plan amendment. While the use of tolling agreements in connection with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other land use disputes is not uncommon and such agreements are routinely enforced, the agreements at issue in the SPAWN case were anything but typical.
The County of Marin, on November 6, 2007 adopted the Marin Countywide General Plan Update and, in connection with it, certified an EIR and filed a Notice of Determination (NOD). Under CEQA, the filing of the NOD starts the clock running on a short, 30-day statute of limitations period within which challenges to the sufficiency of an EIR may be brought. Subsequently, SPAWN and the County entered into a series of tolling agreements extending the 30-day limitations period for almost three years to September 14, 2010.
A group of property owners within the affected area intervened in the action alleging that SPAWN's petition was untimely because the tolling agreements were not permitted under CEQA. The property owners alleged in their complaint in intervention that "the pendency of the action creates uncertainty about what 'development' if any will be allowed on their properties in the future", and that the "injunctive relief sought by the petition would directly and immediately restrict interveners from any development, or further development, on their properties". The trial court subsequently sustained a demurrer to the complaint in intervention.
Thus, the court held, "[i]f all parties directly involved in a controversy concerning the adequacy of an EIR or compliance with other provisions of CEQA are disposed to seek a mutually acceptable means of resolving the controversy and agree to toll the period for commencing litigation, the interests of both those parties and the public are promoted by permitting the settlement discussions to proceed without the distraction of litigation." Accordingly, the court affirmed the trial court's decision sustaining SPAWN's demurrer.
Does CEQA not impose any limits?
What is striking about the SPAWN decision is that the court was apparently untroubled by the fact that the public agency and SPAWN had purported to toll the statute of limitations by almost 3 years on a cause of action governed by a 30-day limitations period. It is difficult to harmonize this extreme delay caused by the tolling agreements with the expressed intent of the Legislature to expedite CEQA cases. The court's failure to grapple with the length of the delay leaves its attempts to reconcile CEQA's express requirements of expedited litigation with a more inchoate public policy favoring settlements unfulfilling. Indeed, the court itself noted, that one of the justifications for the policy favoring settlement over litigation, is that settlements will usually "resolve the controversy much sooner than could be accomplished by trial and appeal." By contrast, most CEQA cases would be litigated and decided on appeal in half the time the tolling agreements at issue in SPAWN lasted.
The typical CEQA tolling situation involves the approval of a site-specific project, certification of environmental review by a public agency and a project opponent. A party whose project has been approved by the public agency is a real party in interest and must be named as such in a CEQA action challenging the approval. In these cases, the law requires that, to be effective, an agreement to toll the limitations period must include the recipient of the approval along with the agency and project opponent. Although the proposed interveners here alleged direct and immediate consequences to their property on account of the pendency of the challenge to the EIR, the court considered their interest "indirect"; therefore, their concurrence to the tolling agreement was not required.
Perhaps most problematic about the Spawn opinion is the court's explicit blessing of precisely the kind of unreasonable litigation delay the Legislature protected against when enacting CEQA. While the proposed interveners alleged that the lack of finality to the CEQA review process would restrict them "from any development, or further development, on their properties", the court noted there was no order in effect precluding the county from considering any permit requests they submitted. However, as even the court itself noted, if the county chose to defer consideration of the permit requests pending resolution of the CEQA controversy, the proposed interveners would have no right to challenge that discretionary decision, meaning their permit applications would be left in legal limbo until the parties to the tolling agreement elected to pursue their action in court.
Although the likelihood of that scenario playing out is unclear, a more effective subversion of the policy behind expediting CEQA litigation could hardly be imagined. The SPAWN court may not end up with the last word on this subject.

According to the study, the positive figures are mainly due to the well-functioning network of existing companies and research institutions. The Bavarian start-up accelerators in the state and incubators in Munich and the surrounding area, as well as the generally positive scene, are also contributing to this renewed upswing. The comparison of start-up intensities (ratio of absolute start-up numbers per 100,000 inhabitants) is particularly interesting. The colleagues from Munich STARTUP clearly see Munich on a par with Berlin: start-ups were primarily focused on metropolitan regions with the appropriate infrastructure. If Munich and its surrounding area are taken as a basis (population of Munich city + surrounding area 1.91 million inhabitants), there are 14.34 start-ups per 100,000 inhabitants.
Financing rounds and sectors
Even when it comes to the completed financing rounds, Bavaria and therefore the Munich start-up scene is doing very well. According to the analysis carried out for each federal state in the second half of 2019, with 232 successful financing rounds, Bavaria is directly behind Berlin with 272. No wonder, as investments are clearly being made where companies are being founded. Booming sectors throughout Germany are currently health and software. Closely followed by more classic industry start-ups. Ideas and innovative products in these areas are more in demand than ever.
Focus primarily on B2B
Furthermore, most start-ups are still active in the B2B sector. More than 50 percent of the young companies belong to this sector. And it is precisely these that find a solid environment in Bavaria, because many companies (from DAX corporations to SMEs) and therefore many customers and partners are located here. A dense network of research institutions, cross-industry collaborations and targeted support for start-ups all contribute to the fact that Bavaria, and above all the Munich region, was particularly attractive for start-ups and establishments in the B2B sector in 2019 and will continue to be in future.

We will explain about the characteristics of antique chest and Japanese fittings we deal.
You may find abrasions and scratches from the aging in many years and months (about 100 years).
We ask your understanding of them as a savor.
They are the fragments of the history.
Stile setting (ensuring the strength using tenon set) is implemented basically for the case of antique chest and Japanese fittings, emphasizing meaning of the practicality in use and shutting off air, the plate parts are thinner than structural materials and has 10 to 25 mm in thickness.
The presence or absence of the plate parts (including gaps from aging) does not especially affect the strength of antique chest and fittings.
The strength of antique chest and fittings does not decrease from having the gaps shown on the left.
Antique chest and Japanese fittings belong to furniture group called pure material furniture (true wooden furniture), and they are still alive even after changing their forms to furniture. Thus they breathe and take expansion or contraction depending on the season.
It is characteristics of pure board and the evidence that they are alive when the phenomenon of appearing gap is recognized on the back plate or base plate of kitchen chest in some seasons.
Necessary repair works will be possible since they are living furniture.
Professional craftsmen fully understand the characteristics of antique chest and Japanese fitting will work on restoration piece by piece.We do not apply any repair work against the characteristics of the pure material. We respect the abrasions and scratches of antique chest and Japanese fitting lived through ages as savor.By repairing antique chest and Japanese fitting by our own hands with a long-term perspective while valuing the savor of them and perform what is required to preserve them for 100 year from now without turning away.Our corporate philosophy (Code of daily conduct) is not bringing them back as new as possible, but to provide our customer with antique chest and Japanese fittings that they can enjoy without stress.

Weak Grip a Strong Predictor of Metabolic Disease and Disability in Adults
A Michigan Medicine researcher teamed up with colleagues in China to investigate muscular strength as a predictor of metabolic disorders and physical disabilities.
A simple test to determine a person's grip strength may be a predictor of developing metabolic disorders in middle or older age, a new cross-continental study has found.
The test locations, demographics and methodology all were selected for a reason.
"Prevalence of chronic disease is highest in the U.S. and China," says Mark Peterson, Ph.D., M.S., FACSM, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Michigan Medicine and a member of the U-M Global Research, Education and Collaboration in Health and Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation. "There's a dire need to identify midlife predictors of disability and diabetes in both populations."
Peterson is the lead author on a new study, published in Journals of Gerontology Series A: Medical Sciences, that investigated if normalized grip strength — which is defined as a person's grip strength divided by their body mass — could serve as a biomarker for both cardiometabolic disease and physical disability in American and Chinese adults.
He teamed up with colleagues from the U-M School of Public Health, Michigan Medicine's Global REACH, the Institute for Social Science Survey and the National School of Development at Peking University in Beijing, China.
One reason for the study's geographic focus: "China represents a unique population," Peterson says. "It's the world's largest population of diabetics, which imposes a huge health and economic burden on their entire country."
He adds, "In 2015, China and the U.S. had a combined $320 billion in diabetes-related health care costs, according to the International Diabetes Federation. The aging populations in both countries are growing because of improved medical care of older adults and longer life expectancy. While on one hand that's great, on the other, it represents two populations that have increasing prevalence estimates of diabetes, cardiovascular health issues and functional impairments. The longer people live with those health issues, the greater the burden is to society."
Analyzing data sets
The research team used data on middle-aged and older adults from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2012 and 2013 to 2014, and the 2011 portion of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. These surveys were selected because they included measures of muscle strength capacity and the necessary information pertaining to disability and cardiometabolic diseases.
"We wanted to examine grip strength in particular because it is highly associated with overall body strength," Peterson says. "To asses someone's grip strength using a handgrip dynamometer takes less than 10 seconds, which makes it extremely attractive to adopt in a clinical or community setting at the population level."
The research team analyzed normalized grip strength for 4,544 U.S. and 6,030 Chinese study participants 50 years of age and older. The study group also had blood samples taken for nonfasting glycated hemoglobin and answered a questionnaire about impairments of functional limitation related to mobility. A subsample of 2,225 adults had fasting measures for glucose, insulin and triglycerides.
Using weighted logistic regression models, the team assessed the association between normalized grip strength and diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension and physical disability. They controlled for age, sex and numerous socio-demographic characteristics.
A strong connection
Perhaps the largest finding of the study was that low normalized grip strength was greatly associated with both cardiometabolic diseases and physical disabilities in middle-age to older adults, both men and women, and in both the U.S. and Chinese populations.
For every 0.05 decrement in normalized grip strength in U.S. and Chinese adults, respectively, there were:
49 percent and 17 percent increased odds for diabetes
46 percent and 11 percent increased odds of hyperglycemia
15 percent and 11 percent increased odds of hypertriglyceridemia
22 percent and 15 percent increased odds of low HDL cholesterol
19 percent and 10 percent increased odds of hypertension
36 percent and 11 percent increased odds for disability status
Other highlights from the research team included:
Prevalence of physical disabilities was higher among older adults (65 years old and older) compared to middle-aged adults (50 years old to 64.9 years old) in both populations.
In U.S. adults, physical disability status, obesity and abdominal obesity were more prevalent, and diabetes prevalence was higher with increasing age in U.S. men.
In Chinese adults, diabetes prevalence was higher for women than men in both middle-aged and older adults.
Diabetes was more prevalent in U.S. than Chinese men in both age categories, but more prevalent in Chinese women than U.S. women.
Normalized grip strength was higher in Chinese men and women than U.S. men and women in both age categories.
Peterson would like to see these research results translated to the clinical setting.
"We hope these findings illustrate how important a simple grip strength test could be in the clinical setting," Peterson says. "It's an easy way to screen and identify people who are at early risk for these health issues."

I recognise the Registrar is represented by Mr Michael Adenuga, and there are representatives from Court Management as well.
I'd like to formally amend the agenda -- adopt the agenda for the Status Conference today. As you know, today was initially scheduled for the trial, but there is a motion, a pending motion, by the Defence, the new Defence team, and this motion has not yet been decided. We felt that in the interests of justice we cannot proceed with the trial as earlier scheduled before we have decided on the -- decided this motion and before we've probably heard further submissions surrounding all the issues that relate to this motion. And so today, really, we are going to hold this Status Conference.
The parties have indicated a number of items that they wanted the Court to discuss at this Status Conference, and I'm going to go through the agenda items as we've aggregated them for adoption. This is the agenda that the Court has officially adopted.

Q: How to pass SIGINT to a process created in java? I've created a process using Runtime.exec, and I need a way of killing the process as one would using Ctrl+C. The process I've started is a video recording tool that specifically looks for a keyboard interrupt in order to write the video file and close all connections cleanly. Unfortunately, Process.destroy doesn't do this. Is there any other way of doing it in java, using the handle I have of the process?

A: You basically need to do a kill command on the process to send a signal.  I don't think Java has a way to do that directly.  You may be able to Runtime.exec() the kill command itself.

A: I can think of a not-too-clean solution, for instance writing a small shell script that invokes kill -2 `pidof executable` (or killall -2 executable if you do not mind killing every process). A much cleaner solution would be to retrieve the process ID from java, but I do not know how (or if) it can be done.

A: You should be kill the process when the Java gets killed using following!
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec();
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
            process.destroy();
        }
}));
process.waitFor();

Embracing digital transformation: 4 tips to get started


Saturday night I invited the Manichans to our weekly dinner date night. They made reservations for us and we were totally confused because Ben called the place Gousteau's, and we kept searching and searching for it online and couldn't not find it. Only until we got to their house we learned that Ben kept giving the name a French twist instead of an Italian twist which meant the restaurant's name was really Gusto.
Joy and I actually walked by Gusto the night we went to Son of Gun which was just a couple doors down. Gusto is a small restaurant with s concise menu, which allowed us to pick and choose a good number of dishes that covered most of the menu.
We started off with the Carciofi (fried artichokes) and Polpette (meatballs) and a sausage pizza. For our pasta dishes we got the Ravioli (spinach, ricotta, bacon) a much better ravioli compared to last week's ravioli at Osteria Mozza. Carbonara, and Casarecci (lamb ragu). To finish off the meal we got the Merluzzo Nero (black cod). It was a nice dinner, and i actually preferred the more casual meal compared to Osteria Mozza.

THE READ OPTION
The Read Option: Weekend picks against the spread
Jim Connell
JCONNELL@NEWS-LEADER.COM
As we start to move to a consistent weekly schedule of important games on the college football landscape, and not a steady diet of FCS vs. FBS matchups, it's time to look out for some of the best "investment" opportunities out there.
There are definitely some of those in the making for this week, but we'll include the Thursday night NFL offering at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kansas City -3 vs. Denver
It may be difficult, but you've got to put aside the pedestrian numbers put up by Peyton Manning in the opener, and not think too much about the one-hop passes he threw for much of the day in a victory over Baltimore.
You can't overreact about that after one week, but if he had that much trouble against the Ravens, expect him to have similar difficulties against a Kansas City defense that is one of the best in the league.
Denver hangs its hat on defense, too, but I'd put my hypothetical bet on a Kansas City offense that has been showing signs of progress, and playing in front of a rabid crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
If you'd like to get crazy, a parlay with the Chiefs -3 and under 42.5 wouldn't be the worst idea in the world.
Nebraska +3 Miami
The Huskers lost a little luster on their star with that Hail Mary loss to BYU in the opener in Lincoln.
But make no mistake, that was a fluke.
Nebraska needs a signature victory before it heads into Big Ten play, and they should get it with plenty of room to spare against a Miami team that has made a habit of underachieving and isn't doing much to save coach Al Golden's job.
The Hurricanes are 2-0, but will take a major step up in class this week, after beating Bethune-Cookman and Florida Atlantic.
Expect a shootout, as both teams have potent offenses and suspect defenses. And expect the Huskers to roll in the end. A money line wager for a straight-up Nebraska win wouldn't be out of line.
Notre Dame +3 vs. Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has put on an impressive show in its first two games – a 69-6 win over Alcorn State and a 65-10 victory over Tulane. But get real, that was Alcorn State and Tulane. Those should count as half-wins.
The Yellow Jackets will take a monster step up in class this week, hitting the road to face the ninth-ranked Irish. Injuries have taken a toll on the Irish, but they still have enough in the tank to take care of Georgia Tech.
With victories over Texas and Virginia in the first two weeks, playing a team the caliber of Georgia Tech won't come as a surprise to Notre Dame.
And getting 3 points at home? That's just a bonus.
Last week's TRO picks: 3-0
TRO picks for the season: 3-0


Or so she thought! Grandma Renee is now notorious for trying to steal Dexter.
I know there are quite a few people who would like to see Dexter back in Wisconsin!!
I rather feel stealing is a harsh word. I was just going to "borrow" him for a bit. I would have brought him back….eventually.
