Unseasonably high freight volumes combined with higher fuel prices and rough winter weather pushed spot truckload rates upward to start 2017, according to DAT Solutions and its network of load boards, while a separate measure showed the market improved for the sixth straight month in December.
The total number of posted loads increased 17% while available capacity was up 9.5% during the week ending Jan. 7 compared to the previous week. National average rates for reefers increased 5 cents to an unseasonably high $2.03 per mile while van added 4 cents for $1.77 per mile. In contrast, the average flatbed rate fell 3 cents to $1.92 per mile.
All rates include fuel surcharges and this most recent activity happed as national average price of on-highway diesel gained a penny to $2.60 per gallon.
This tighter capacity pushed van and flatbed load-to-truck ratios higher, while refrigerated freight dipped. The van load-to-truck ratio increased 10% to 4.9 loads per truck while flatbeds jumped 7% to 28.6 loads per truck. Reefers fell 4% to 10.7 loads per truck.
Van activity picked up gradually in the week following the holidays. Van load posts were up 20% compared to the previous week and truck posts increased 9%. But rates fell sharply in many key markets over the past week especially in the Midwest and West including:
- Los Angeles, $2.08 per mile, down 8 cents
- Chicago, $2.12 per mile, down 11 cents
- Houston, $1.57 per mile, down 2 cents
- Atlanta, $1.96 per mile, down 3 cents
- Philadelphia, $1.75 mile, down 3 cents
Demand for reefer trucks slipped compared to the boom week between Christmas and New Year's but the load-to-truck ratio remained unseasonably high. Spot market load posts increased 3% but truck posts rose 7%. According to DAT, freight volume kept climbing in Nogales, Arizona with Mexican produce crossing the border, and load counts also started the year strong in Philadelphia, a big market for produce imports from Europe.
Despite these improvements average rates on several reefer lanes declined last week:
- Chicago-Denver, $2.11 per mile, down 86 cents
- Dallas-Phoenix, $1.30 per mile, down 42 cents
- Miami-Baltimore fell to pre-Christmas levels at $1.72/mile
- Elizabeth, New Jersey-Boston came back down 38 cents to $3.50/mile: still high but traffic and weather make travel difficult on that lane, plus there's not much freight coming out of Boston.
Flatbed load posts increased 26% and truck posts increased 18% last week. That pushed the load-to-truck ratio up to its highest level since September 2014.
December Index Shows Continuing Improvements
Meantime, a separate reported showed The DAT North American Freight Index rose 8% in December, capping off an extraordinarily strong month for spot truckload freight and six straight months of increased volume.
E-commerce and grocery items were major sources of December freight for what is usually a quiet period on the spot market, according to DAT.
"Van rates and volumes shot up in places like Memphis and Columbus, both associated with e-commerce fulfillment, and even Denver and Seattle exhibited unusually robust rates and shipping patterns," said Mark Montague, DAT industry analyst.
Van freight availability increased 10% compared to November and surged 52% year over year, for an average van load-to-truck ratio of 3.8 to 1, a 22% increase compared to November and 80% higher year-over-year.
The national average spot truckload rate for vans was $1.73 per mile including a fuel surcharge. The average rate was the highest for the year, up 7 cents month over month and 1 cent compared to December 2015.
Reefer freight availability increased 10% in December compared to November, primarily due to demand for fresh and frozen foods at Christmas. The reefer load-to-truck ratio of 8.2 to 1 was the highest monthly ratio in the past 21 months. Compared to December 2015, reefer volume was up 55% in December.
The national average spot market rate was $1.98 per mile for reefers, up 2 cents from November to December and equal to the June peak season average. Compared to December 2015, the average rate was 2 cents per mile higher.
Demand for flatbed trucks increased 2.3% compared to November and 48% compared to December 2015. Flatbed rates increased 5 cents compared to November, to $1.95 per mile. That national average was up 1 cent compared to December 2015.
Despite a strong second half of 2016, spot market freight volume for the entire year fell 7.7% compared to 2015.
"While overall demand for truckload capacity grew 23% in the second half of 2016, those gains were more than offset by a 29% decline during the first half," Montague said.

Patriotic Georgians are going to elect this good old boy governor because I'm so conservative I run ads (explosion in background) to blow up government spending. I own lots of guns (see all those behind me and the one I'm cocking) that no one's taking away. My chain saw's ready (it starts right away) to rip up some regulations. I got a big truck (I'm driving) in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take 'em home myself. Yep, I just said that. If you want a politically incorrect conservative, that's me, the current secretary of state who'll be moving up in November after fair and square beating Stacey Abrams, a tax and spend liberal even more dangerous than Barack Obama.
I strongly support President Trump, our troops, and ironclad borders, and (putting a hot right hand on my heart) I stand for our national anthem. If any of this offends you, I'm not your guy. I'm the tough secretary of state who's cancelled one point four million voter registrations the last six years, and during this campaign I've put fifty-three thousand voter registrations on hold because they aren't "exact matches" with information at the Georgia Department of Driver Services or the Social Security Administration. Sometimes there's a missing hyphen or transposed numbers and sometimes the deceptions are more outrageous than that.
It doesn't matter that seventy percent of those registrants are black and as secretary of state I'm overseeing an election where I'm running against a black candidate. Like I've told my campaign people to repeatedly tell you, I'm "fighting to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure only legal citizens can cast votes." I'm not worried about losing, anyway. Yeah, the polls say Abrams and I are in a statistical dead heat right now, but only thirty-two percent of the voters are black and I'll find some more who cheated to register and keep 'em away from the voting booths. No one's getting over on me. My guns and explosives and big truck are ready to rock.

Besides frostbite, what did people take away from there? This was probably the first time many non-Native people had been on a reservation, or in the presence of Native ceremonies. That's a positive. The more people understand that Native Americans have their own religious rituals and objects of veneration—which to many non-Native people are simply features of the landscape—as well as cathedrals and churches, the better. Understanding the natural world as more than just a resource for energy, or a recreational opportunity, or even a food resource, gives moral weight to the effort to contain catastrophic climate change.

On Friday, August 7th, CORD posted some information on our blog and in our email/newsletter regarding the options available to us within the City Planning Commission's rezoning proposal.
Since Friday, we have received a bit more information regarding another difference between the current R6 and proposed R6A classification. This food for thought is from a CORD affiliated (NYC) zoning expert.
May we suggest that you review the August 7th blog post http://carrollgardenspetition.blogspot.com/2009/08/some-more-info-re-contextual-rezoning.html
as well as the proposed zoning map
so that you may review the information in its entirety.
It is important that when we go to the City Planning Commission Public hearing on the 19th, we clearly express our desires. In order to do that, we must all understand what the proposed changes can mean to us. CORD had tried to present an admittedly simplified, but accurate portrait of the zoning proposal.
We again reach out to you, especially those of you who reside on the blocks where the R6A classification is proposed, to email us at, firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us how you feel about the rezoning proposal, and how you would like to see your street designated.
The following information is in addition to the August 7th blog post........
It was brought to our attention that we.............
Also did not address that R6A does not permit extra floor area for community facility use. Such floor area allocated for community facility use would be deducted from residential floor area potential. For the R6, on the short end of the block, community facility could occupy the entire ground floor other than what is being used as residential access to the residential floors above. In such a case, the achievable floor area is about the same as what allowed in the R6A district. For the long dimension of the block, the rear 30 feet of the property can not be used for many types of community uses (Examples of exceptions are schools, houses of worship). In such a case R6 would allow about 90% of the floor area what R6A allows. So the question is whether the certainty of 55 feet in maximum height is worth remaining available to more community facility use being incorporated into the neighborhood.
Finally, though R6A permits the height of 70 feet, the question is what height is realistic for properties that would gain additional floor area rights because of the zoning. Is one to two floors added and where is that possible? Or, where would a property build from scratch and given parcel size, does it make more sense (profit) to use up the floor area with as little as 4-5 floors, or up to seven.
Hope to hear from you.CORD

This year's conference will be held at the Holiday Inn Express in Weslaco with evening events to be held at the amazingly diverse Estero Llano Grande State Park, a 176-acre refuge in Weslaco, which attracts a fantastic array of South Texas wildlife with its varied landscape of shallow lakes, woodlands and thorn forest. Through field trips of the surrounding area, such as Bentsen Rio Grande SP, Sabal Palm Sanctuary, Estero Llano Grande SP, Resaca de la Palma SP and local WMAs, we will learn of the restoration efforts that have been implemented by various organizations such as Texas Parks & Wildlife, The Nature Conservancy & U.S. Fish & Wildlife. The field trips will occur on Friday, November 2 and the presentations will occur on Saturday and possibly Sunday morning. Save the Date & Visit txser.org for updates on registration, field trips & program information.
A couple of weeks ago, I got some pretty decent rain fall at my house. My butterfly garden that had been struggling to survive through the heat of summer suddenly came back to life. The mist flower and cut leaf daisy I had planted started to bloom and shortly after that, butterflies started migrating through the Valley. Hummingbirds have been migrating through the area for the last several weeks. At one point, I was having to refill my hummingbird feeder once every other day!
Looking ahead,
Jaime Flores, P.G.

Green House Effect
Today's green, or eco-friendly, stain and odor products are revolutionizing the way people clean up after their pets in the home.
Until recently, eco-conscious pet owners seeking a product to lift a pet-related stain out of a carpet or neutralize a particularly noxious and persistent odor had two options. They could buy a product that was "green," or they could buy one that worked. The two propositions—eco-friendly and effective—were mutually exclusive.
These days, people are demanding cleaning products of a higher order.
Call it the dawning of a new age of ecological awareness or call it the war against chemicals. Or simply call it progress. Any which way, many consumers today are insisting that the cleaners and deodorizers they use in their homes—and most importantly, around their pets and children—be safe for both the environment and everyone living in it.
"The category for natural pet cleaning products continues to grow and shy away from chemical-based products," says Jeff Fowler, national sales manager for Natural Chemistry, which makes Healthy Habit brand natural cleaner. "[Pet parents] want to protect their families and pets from any potential harmful chemicals."
Yet, the demand for green formulas aside, customers also want—and need—these products to work. Technology, fortunately, has given rise to a host of alternatives to traditional stain-and-odor and clean-up products that are both effective and eco-friendly. Rewind a few years, however, and pet owners would hardly have thought this possible.
The category's growth was stunted at the outset as manufacturers struggled to address pet-related stains and odor in ways that were both potent and green. "The greatest challenge the clean-up space has had with green and eco-friendly solutions has been efficacy," says Brian Collier, advertising manager for TropiClean, which includes eco-friendly clean-up solutions among its many product offerings.
He points out that while pet owners may be inclined to choose the safest, most environmentally inspired product available, that desire does not override the need for an effective solution. "When it comes to a urine stain in your home, you most likely will be more concerned about cleaning and removing it than what is in the product," Collier says.
Bill Hadley, CEO and founder of Bio-Pro Research—the maker of Urine Off brand urine odor and stain remover—concurs that manufacturers' foray into the arena of eco-friendly cleaning products was thwarted early on by failed attempts to create green products that were as powerful as conventional ones. "Trying to solve such a daunting problem was difficult enough for most manufacturers," he says. "Trying to solve the age old problem, and the 'green cleaning' initiatives have made their task even harder because if they are actually using greener chemical technology, it is often not as powerful as traditional chemistry that was developed over many decades.
"At the end of the day, I believe people want to be 'green,' but not at the expense of performance," he adds
But it seems many product developers have finally solved the riddle. For example, Urine Off, which proudly boasts its USDA green certification on its packaging, puts the power of biological science to work conquering stains and odors. "The biggest challenge in the effective eradication of urine stains and odors is eliminating the source of the odor, not simply covering it up temporarily," he says.
Urine Off, he adds, tackles odor using bioremediation—a bio-chemical process through which enzymes "eat" away the stubbornly pungent and virtually insoluble uric-acid crystals that remain after urine has dried. "Bio-Pro Research developed the biological technology to safely and naturally bioremediate urine, no matter how old it is," Hadley says.
Still, despite some manufacturers' victorious wins against the scourge of pet stains and odors, customer perceptions about the efficacy of green clean-up products have not turned around in one fell swoop. Hadley says it is revealing that the question the company fields most frequently is whether or not the product "really works."
"Think about what a powerful question that is," he says. "It denotes that [pet owners] have tried virtually everything, have never been totally satisfied, doubt that there is anything that actually works, but still hold out a glimmer of hope, as they still have the problem."
Many consumers cling to the idea that only a combination of water, soap and elbow grease will solve their problems—only to be disappointed by poor results. However, Cindy Rimer, director and vice president of sales and marketing for Biokleen, says that while many pet owners continue to favor traditional products based on the expectation that a green cleaner will be less effective than a traditional option, customers' views are shifting.
"There are still the pet parents out there that think disinfecting is the only way to clean, but as more education gets out about the consequences of overusing disinfectants, and that it's really not necessary, perceptions are starting to change," she says.
In fact, consumer awareness continues to build as it relates to the products people use in every aspect of life—from household cleaning to cosmetics—and the possible effects these items have on the environment and on their health. As a result, increasingly knowledgeable customers are energizing sales in the eco-friendly cleaning product category, despite the poor reputation suffered by early entries into the market.
"Consumers [are] driven by the conviction that it is our responsibility to take care of our environment, and from that conviction, they are giving the products a second chance," Collier says, also noting that there has been a recent lift in sales in the category as word spreads that these products do indeed work.
Hadley agrees. "As a whole, buyers are more comfortable buying eco-friendly products, as they experience efficacy that meets their expectations."
On the Front Lines
As is the case in many pet product categories, pet specialty retailers are at the forefront of the movement to introduce new, innovative and green cleaning products to the pet-owning public. These stores are strongly suited to both becoming category experts and sharing that expertise with consumers.
"Pet specialty retailers are in a very unique position to positively affect their customers' perceptions of green cleaning products," Hadley says. "One of the reasons customers shop at their pet specialty shop is because they have a higher perception of quality offerings and the availability of a perceived expert, compared to a cheap product and a checkout clerk at a mass retailer. By taking the opportunity of personal service to educate their customers on the efficacy and safety of products that are proven to be effective, [pet specialty retailers] can garner sales at a higher value and have a happy customer."
Of course, first, retailers need to be informed about the category and the product properties, functions and distinctions. They need to understand what makes a formula eco-friendly and how to determine which manufacturers are true to their word when it comes to making green claims.
"Retailers can become educated on the brands they sell and offer samples for consumers to try for themselves," says Rimer. "We are always confident when a consumer uses Biokleen [that] they will come back for more."
Most importantly, Collier says, retailers can help customers understand the value of these products by demonstrating in the store how effective they can be. "Many times it comes down to education," he says, adding that TropiClean can provide point-of-sale videos that demonstrate the products at work. "Engage with your pet parents and help inform them on how well products can work and why it will benefit their home to make the change."

In December , hijab became the official dress code for women by presidential decree. Indecent or immoral dress and behavior contrary to public morality are criminalized in Article of the Criminal Code as well as in the Khartoum Public Order Act of These restrictions, and sometimes even the physical differences, are often stipulated in labor codes. In the Sudanese Labor Law of , there are two restrictions put on the type of work deemed appropriate for women. In addition, there are restrictions when it comes to the time of day that women can work.
Women are prohibited from working between and Article 20 1. However, the profession can mediate this restriction: women working in administrative, technical, social, health, and professional work are exempted from the rule. This legal restriction has indeed negatively affected women working in the informal market selling food, such as kisra sorghum pancakes or tea in the streets or in public spaces, often at night SIHA ; Willemse How do working women negotiate legal constraints placing them under the guardianship of their husbands, imposing strict public dress and behavioral codes upon them, and upholding occupational segregation in the workplace?
The most recent literature has focused on the negative effects of Islamist policies on unskilled women in the informal labor market SIHA ; Willemse A prevailing belief is that working at night incites promiscuous behavior, as women are rendering direct service to men under the cloak of darkness.
Steel explores how educated, entrepreneurial women in Khartoum circumvent the public order police by operating in the informal labor market from within their own homes. I have chosen to focus on women of the upper and middle classes who have higher education, not only because there is little in the current literature about them, but also and more importantly because these women form part of an important recruitment base for Islamists. I have focused on married women with children because they are at the center of the countervailing pressures of motherhood and wage employment.
I rely on interviews with 33 married women in Khartoum during September—December and November I used three research assistants to conduct these interviews with a semi-structured interview guide with questions related to how women perceive and contend with restrictive laws family law, labor law, and popular order laws , how women gain access to the labor market, how they use their income, and how wage employment affects the power relationship within their households.
The interviews were conducted in Arabic, and recorded and transcribed by the research assistants. As a non-native speaker of Arabic, I received assistance in translating written transcripts into English. We have used head covering as a proxy for ideological outlook, including: Niqab, which in the Sudanese context is associated with Salafism, a Wahhabi approach to Islam distinct from Sudanese Islamism. Hijab either with the Sudanese traditional tobe or abaya , which the Islamists have been advocating as proper Islamic attire; and.
In fact, all the women in the sample regard the fact that women must seek the permission of husbands in order to work for pay as unjust and against Islam. Where is it stated in religion that men can deny women the right to work? One informant, aged 29, who studied to become a secretary, was denied the opportunity to work by her husband, and her family agreed to that state of affairs on her behalf and in advance when contracting the marriage:.
I have not decided to be housewife, but my husband before marriage put a condition in the marriage contract that I should not work. My family and I accepted the condition. My husband and family forced me to be a housewife. Their argument is that housework is a full-time job and my husband would provide all needed expenses. If I decide to work or go out I need his permission Interview, When I was a student I had plans to work, but marriage constrained me as my husband refuses the idea of me working.

Finally, I got depressed and I gave up. I need his permission for work; I cannot force it on him Interview, While some husbands might not be opposed to the idea of women working for pay in general, the type of profession is important in making the decision whether or not to give their wives permission. While labor law prohibits women from hazardous professions, husbands are concerned that certain types of work will put their wives at risk of sexual harassment or that interaction with men at the workplace will encourage immoral behavior. In the words of one of the housewives, aged 27, who once aspired to be a TV announcer when studying media at the University of Khartoum:.
My husband does not approve of me working as a TV announcer. He does not like this work because women and girls experience harassment there; it is not a good work environment. This was a convincing argument for me and I agreed. Many people say that and it is known that it is not a good working environment for women in our society … So I did not choose to be a house wife, he refused the idea that I can work Interview, These legal restrictions have broad support among my interviewees and are not seen as discriminatory, but rather protection. However, when it comes to the fear of sexual harassment, the trend in my interview material suggests a strong class dimension.
This is likely due to the fact that the risk of sexual harassment for working women, because of gender mixing in the workplace, especially at night, is associated with unskilled female workers, particularly those in the informal labor market such as coffee and tea sellers.
Politics, Gender, and Concepts
In the context of the market, gender mixing and especially the act of rendering direct service to men is seen as inappropriate and as carrying with it an increased risk of sexual harassment. However, for these women, working in a bank alongside men and rendering service to men would not represent the same risk. A university lecturer puts it like this:.
A female secretary provides direct services to male managers, and people accept that. But when it comes to certain jobs like working in the market or as waiters or at fuel stations, people think it is unacceptable Interview, While majorities of all categories of women interviewed for this study find it unjust and discriminatory that men have the power to deny their constitutional right to work, they nonetheless embrace occupational segregation embedded within the Islamist understanding of complementarity.
In their view, keeping women from entering into certain professions is a form of protection, not discrimination.
All categories of working women interviewed except one interviewee see advantages with the male breadwinner model. The advantage of the Islamist vision of economic empowerment, the way they see it, lies in the fact that they are by law entitled to keep their wage income for themselves. Customarily, women could work only if there was an economic need for them to do so. The Islamist vision of economic empowerment, catering to its support base in the middle and upper classes, opened up a space for the increasing number of women with higher education in the country to work for self-realization, rather than doing so to address economic need.
In fact, being a working woman is presented as an Islamic ideal. A psychologist, aged 38, says:. Work develops the person and leads to progress Interview, A business woman argues:. Yes, for sure women should have equal payment with men. Nowadays, women work more than men when they work in institutions, if you go to an office you will find a woman is sitting in there, but the man is moving around, drinking coffee or chatting outside the office, so they shouldn't be given less than men Interview, While some explicitly link this ideal to religion, others present it as the social norm.
Thematic Issues
I should not give anything in return. Except for one interviewee, the working women reported that their husbands are in fact unaware of how much they earn. A pharmacist, aged 36 says:. All categories of women interviewed express that if they contribute to the household, it is their choice and not their obligation to do so. Beyond contributing to household expenses, the women interviewed reported spending their income in the following ways: Personal expenditures, typically such as mobile scratch cards and transportation costs to and from work.
If a woman does not wear nice clothes in public, it reflects badly on the husband, not on the woman. Household items that the husband regards as unnecessary, such as decorative pillows for the living room or nice clothes for the children.
On their self-realization and personal ambition. To give money to the family mother, father, or siblings. While the husband is obliged to spend on the wife, it is not his responsibility to provide for her parents. Saving for economic hardship through, for example, buying gold hard currency or land that later can be sold in times of need. Three of the ways that women interviewed for this study spend their wage income are forms of economic investments.
These are investing in higher education, gold or land, or by giving gifts to their families. Education will secure a better job with better pay, while a house can be built on the land that these women own. By giving money gifts to family they make sure that they will be well received if they have no other choice but to move back into the family home. This suggests that being in control of their income, something which is stipulated in the Muslim Family Law, can enable working women in Sudan to make economic choices independently of their husbands and thereby give them capacity for strategic forms of economic agency in their own lives.
However, even if working for pay can improve their fallback position, in the Sudanese context they have limited access to divorce. There is a clear expectation in the literature that women who earn wages have higher bargaining power in the household, including power leading to more egalitarian domestic arrangements. Many assume that women with resources will use the threat of exit from the marriage as a way to gain more power within marriage.
This finding travels across the different categories of women interviewed for this study. However, wives who contribute to their household economy in a significant way seem to have husbands who are encouraging them to work for pay. Therefore, the dynamic foreseen by scholars such as Okin and Iversen and Rosenbluth about the relationship between economic empowerment, gender bargaining, and a more egalitarian marriage does not play out among my interviewees.
Women with greater financial power are still not able to bargain for less patriarchal marriages or what Kabeer refers to as exercising transformative agency.
In the relatively modest sample, there were only two examples where the husband would make modest contributions to domestic tasks, either by doing some cooking or helping out with the children. Typically, the women in my sample have fought for the permission to work against the wishes of their husbands, and are adamant not to give their husbands any reason to doubt that they can perform their domestic tasks even if they also work for pay. A lecturer, aged 40 and married with three children, says:.
I faced and still face a lot of pressure from my husband about my work. When I married him I was working and he offered me to stay home …, but I refused that offer which caused a lot of arguments between us, and he was so adamant that I should stay home. Interview, The private sphere is also where women display their feminine identity through doing housework and looking after the family, which again is considered their primary role.
It is only after this primary role has been successfully performed that women can work for pay. It seems that the Sudanese legal framework is contradictory in granting women the equal right to work in the Constitution, yet also granting husbands with the authority to veto their opportunity to work in the Muslim Family Law of Using data from the World Bank's Women, Business, and the Law datasets from and , Htun, Jensenius, and Nunez in this Special Issue find that restrictions on women's agency in family law serve as by far the strongest predictor of female labor force participation when compared to discrimination in wage work and parental leave.
"I Am Not Just a Feminist Eight Hours a Day": Youth Gender Justice Activism in Ecuador and Peru
Interestingly, women of different political—ideological standpoint interviewed for this study see constraints as well as advantages within the Muslim Family Law, under which a husband can legally divorce talaq his wife outside the court without stating any reason, women have unequal inheritance rights, and a separate matrimonial property regime. It is important to note that my sample of interviews is small and from a specific and privileged class position in Khartoum. Only 28 percent of Sudanese women have entered the formal labor force, and only a minority is from a privileged class position where there is economic room for women to spend their income in ways other than boosting the household economy.
Even a restrictive legal framework can enable working women in Sudan to make independent economic choices and thereby give them capacity for strategic forms of agency in their own lives. Women living in contexts that many would call restrictive or oppressive see advantages of the status quo. However, it has created some economic independence from the husbands and has created a sense of accomplishment and self-realization among women in certain demographic groups. Ironically, by giving elite women some limited freedoms, the Islamist government may have helped dilute their opposition and bought some time for the stability of the regime.

When a nuclear power plant is finally shut down and no electricity is fed into the supply grid any longer, the so-called post-operational phase begins. This can take several years and ends when the licence holder receives from the competent supervisory authority a licence for the decommissioning and dismantling of the nuclear power plant. During the post-operational phase, the licence holder, in coordination with the competent supervisory authority, can already make preparations for the dismantling of the plant. Currently, there are three plants in post-operation in Germany.
Modifications in the post-operational phase
Even when the reactor is no longer in power operation, the main safety functions of subcriticality, heat removal and retention of activity must still be guaranteed. For this reason, the systems for accident control for example must be kept operational. These include i.a. the emergency diesel generators of the plant. They ensure that the electrical energy required for the operation of safety-relevant components is available in the event of a failure of the external power grid.
In the course of post-operation, however, numerous structures, systems and components in nuclear power plants are no longer needed or need to be adapted. For example, there is no longer any need to cool the fuel assemblies once they have been removed from the reactor or from the spent fuel pool. Accordingly, the requirements for monitoring, inspection and maintenance of the plant change during the course of post-operation. In addition, there are organisational and personnel changes that now need to be implemented. While turbine operators, for example, are no longer needed in the plant, more radiation protection specialists are required to accompany dismantling. In addition, preparatory measures for decommissioning can already be taken in the post-operational phase, e.g. the decontamination of plant components.
In many cases, changes in operational management or at the level of the personnel are due to the fact that the licence holder endeavours to simplify procedures in the post-operational phase and to reduce running costs. This can be achieved, for example, by shutting down safety systems of the reactor after the fuel has been unloaded in order to be able to dispense with the otherwise mandatory so-called in-service inspections and maintenance of these systems. It is also possible to strive for lowering of the requirements for the qualification of the shift personnel in order to reduce costs.
When a nuclear power plant is finally shut down and no electricity is fed into the supply grid any longer, the so-called Modifications of the safety systems and other "essential modifications" in terms of the Atomic Energy Act may, however, only be carried out with the approval of the supervisory authority. The granting of such a licence presupposes that, as part of a safety assessment, it has been verified and confirmed that the relevant safety requirements will continue to be met even after the planned modification. It poses a challenge for the supervisory authorities and their authorised experts that the nuclear regulations are largely not explicitly related to the post-operational phase and that therefore certain requirements for the operation or the shut-down states of nuclear power plants should be interpreted in light of the specific circumstances of this phase. By carrying out its studies, GRS helps to improve the foundations for such inspections.
Studies of GRS in connection with the post-operational phase
Since 2016, for example, experts of GRS have been working on a project – funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment – dealing with the generic safety assessment of nuclear power plants in the post-operational phase. Here, the generic requirements for the post-operational phase are described by way of example for a pressurised water reactor and a boiling water reactor (deterministic approach). One requirement is e.g. that the emergency core cooling and residual-heat removal chain, including the supply of electrical energy, must be maintained at the required level of redundancy until it is no longer needed. This also comprises the in-service inspections and the maintenance concepts for these systems. A particular challenge is to pinpoint where the boundaries are to the operational systems that might no longer be needed. In a further step, a probabilistic assessment of the deterministically identified minimum requirements is made in order to calculate the probability of certain event sequences. Finally, the results of the deterministic and probabilistic analyses are to be summarised so that if necessary, they can be considered in the safety assessments of licence holders' modification applications and in the updating of the regulations.
In another project, which was completed in 2017, GRS dealt with possible failure mechanisms in the post-operational phase of nuclear installations. To this end, the experts analysed the engineered systems and evaluated numerous events that occurred in nuclear power plants in Germany and abroad. Post-operational events as well as events that already occurred during power operation and may have increased relevance for post-operation were considered. Relevant mechanisms such as corrosion due to changes in flow velocities in pipes, the crashing of containers, or errors in the planning of plant modifications were identified and described. The published GRS report "Safety-related failure mechanisms in the post-operational phase" is available here (in German).

There are some films that don't age. The record-breaking 1991 American psychological-horror film, Silence of the Lambs, is one of them. This film won 5 Academy Awards- Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay; its the 3rd movie in history to do so.
The story follows young FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) as she tries to track down Buffalo Bill, an active serial killer who has been abducting and subsequently murdering young women at an alarming rate. The latest girl to disappear is a Senator's daughter, leading to an even more frenzied search. Claire receives help from an unlikely source; the notorious Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins). Lecter is a former psychiatrist and currently imprisoned cannibal/serial killer, sentenced to waiting out the rest of his life in a windowless cell in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
Although initially dismissive of Clarice, Dr. Lecter eventually decides to help her profile Buffalo Bill in exchange for a transfer to a different prison. Rather than discussing the actual case, Lecter has Clarice recount traumatic childhood events; one of them being a time where she was awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of lambs screaming for slaughter, revealing the story behind the film's title. He also tells her that all of the information that Clarice needs to solve the case is already in the files that she has. After analyzing the files further, she realizes that Buffalo Bill knew his first victim personally, and she sets off to his hometown in search of his identity. It's also at this time that Lecter escapes from his cell, gruesomely killing the guards and several others.
After combing his hometown in Ohio and questioning the locals, Clarice finds herself inside the home of Buffalo Bill. To her horror, she discovers that he's been attempting to form a "woman suit" out of human skin. She also finds the Senator's daughter alive and trapped at the bottom of an empty well. A terrifying struggle ensues- Buffalo Bill cuts the lights and attempts to kill Clarice, but gives his position away when he cocks his revolver. She empties her rounds into the psychopath, effectively killing him and saving the day (to put it very lightly). Naturally, the film ends with Clarice receiving a call from Lecter, who asks that she doesn't try to track him down. He ends the conversation quickly, letting her know that he is "having an old friend for dinner." A perfect final line if there ever was one.
Mr. Lecter chose the wine for this month's mailer. "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." While I can't speak for the human liver and Chianti pairing, I do think that fava beans and a glass of the 2016 Fontodi Chianti Classico would be a killer (pun intended) pairing.
All Fontodi wines are sourced from their own vineyards and 100% hand harvested; the estate has been run by the Manetti family since 1968. Giovanni Manetti has been managing it since 1979, and has been instrumental in pushing the region towards higher quality production. He is also the new President of the Chianti Classico consortium. Their Chianti Classico is 100% Sangiovese and ages in Troncais and Allier barrels for 18 months before bottling. It's sleek, with black cherry and blackberry notes. Smoke, anise, violet, tobacco, and mineral notes all swirl together with the fruit to create impeccable balance. Swap out the liver for some nice rabbit or wild boar, and you have a meal that Lecter would almost approve of.

Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Seventy-six years ago — on November 26, 1942, in the midst of World War II — Casablanca, easily one of the best movies ever created, premiered in New York City.
Casablanca is the story of cynical American expatriate Rick Blaine and his one-time lover, Ilsa Lund. For those of you who haven't seen it, the official film synopsis is as follows:
Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), who owns a nightclub in Casablanca, discovers his old flame Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) is in town with her husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid). Laszlo is a famed rebel, and with Germans on his tail, Ilsa knows Rick can help them get out of the country. But will he?
There are countless reasons for the film's success. Among them is the subtle but masterful comedy, such as the tourists learning that the kindly man warning them about local pickpockets was himself a thief who just stole from them. Or when Vichy French Captain Louis Renault is ordered by a German major to shut down Rick's nightclub, so he feigns outrage at "discovering" there is gambling in the club, only to be immediately presented with his own winnings from gambling.
There is so much to this film, which may well be The Best Film Ever Made, and so many classic lines and scenes. Ironically, one of the best-known lines, 'Play it again, Sam' was never in the film. But the famous scene of the battle of national anthems has been voted by some as The Greatest Scene Ever Filmed.

"Chronic problems with doping are threatening weightlifting's future viability as an Olympic sport." – The Associated Press, CBC
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Hsu Shu-ching apologized Friday for testing positive for doping and said she is willing to accept her punishment. The 27-year-old Hsu said the banned substance was contained in a dietary supplement she took ahead of the 2017 world championships. The Taiwanese weightlifter was told of the result last year but the news was not made public until this week.
Weightlifting was put under review by the IOC in 2017 after having "at least 50 positive tests combined from the Beijing and London reanalysis." This week, the Olympic's executive board lifted their threat to remove weightlifting from the 2024 Paris Games after "accepting reforms in the sport." More than 100 athletes, including dozens of medalists, have been caught in reanalysis of samples from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics using a more sensitive test for steroids. The IOC says retests will continue until the statute of limitations applied to the 2012 Olympics is reached next year.
"The 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games were termed the 'Growth Hormone Games' by some athletes, while the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games were nicknamed the 'Dirty Games,' because of the large number of articles discussing performance enhancing drugs at the games."Twenty-four doping violations were reported at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, twice as many as at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984. By comparison, there were relatively few doping violations at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
I feel as though the athlete who successfully and honestly competed and then receives this 'returned' medal is stripped of it's honor. The athlete does not receive public attention or recognition for their efforts after acquiring a 'second-hand' medal. Perhaps a larger punishment for the doping athlete would be to publicly apologize and present the medal themselves to their fellow athletic competitor who won honestly. The IOC should have stricter drug screening and policy before an athlete is permitted to compete and win at the Olympic games. Doping will continue to happen until a greater punishment is set and athletes are fined for their responsibilities.

Beth's Blog - Week of 8/26/18
|Date Added
This week in...
Kindergarten: Today Kindergarten learned about what a Synagogue is. They learned that it is a place of prayer for Jewish people to come to. They learned how to write the word synagogue and even did a maze showing the way to the synagogue. Lastly the class took a tour of our own synagogue to learn where everything is! Questions for Home: 1. What is a synagogue for? 2. Can you name one room located in our synagogue?
First Grade: First graders got to know each other today, and got to know the classroom rules and routines. First grade learned about their studies for the year - mitzvot. They had so much fun singing with Cantor Adesnik and creating bumblebees in art. Questions for Home: 1. What is 1 rule for our classroom? 2. What is the word that teaches us how to treat others?
2nd Grade: 2nd graders talked about the Torah and why we read and study it. They created a poster depicting the creation of the world. Questions for Home: 1. Why do we read the Torah? 2. What is the first word of the Torah?
K & 1 Singing "Shofar Blast" with Cantor Adesnik
3rd Grade:
- Judaics - The objective of today's lesson was to help students, Madrichim, and teacher build relationships quickly and successfully. The students were involved in activities that gave them a sense of community and allowed for better bonding. Games introduced: Name Rhymes, The Cinderella Game, and Making Connections. These activities helped the class connect in a fun way! Questions for Home: 1. Can you name three new friends that you met in class today? 2. What did you have in common with them?
- Applied Hebrew - To start off the lesson, each child will open up their Siddur and go over familiar prayers in search of words that are used to describe God. After writing down 10 words on the whiteboard, we will narrow the list down to 5. Each student will choose 3-4 words from the remaining list that they believe applies to themselves, and explain why they chose those words. After a classroom discussion about how we are all similar to God in different ways, we will talk about Rosh Hashanah and how it is the celebration of God's creation of the world. Questions for Home: 1. Why do we eat apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah? 2. What is the name of the Hebrew month that Rosh Hashanah is celebrated in?
4th Grade:
- Judaics - 4th graders began their study about middot (Jewish values). They had a meaningful discussion about using middot to develop the classroom norms, and how they can work together to create a supportive learning environment. Ms. Jess says, "I was SO IMPRESSED by the creativity and insight students shared, and look forward to putting our ideas into practice." Ask your student about their class norms.
- Applied Hebrew - In class, students will explore Rosh Hashanah, the new year. The students will learn all the things we do for this holiday. They will also learn the meaning of the holiday, why some people celebrate it for 2 days, and the importance surround it. The class talked about the Shofar, eating sweets, apples and honey, the prayer book, and what some people wear. The students will also discuss raditions in their homes and share with the rest of the group. Questions for Home: 1. What do you like the best about the holiday and why? 2. What is so special about Rosh Hashanah's date and why is it celebrated for 2 nights?
5th Grade:
- Judaics - The 5th graders will be examining the textual origins of Rosh Hashanah, as well as the weekly Parshah, Ki Tetzei (Deut 21:10-25:19). Questions for Home: 1. What is Parshah Ki Tetzei (par-shah key tEt-zay) about? 2. What is one modern lesson you took away from it?
- Applied Hebrew - The class discussed new beginnings as our first Jewish Holidays is almost here! They learned about the symbols of Rosh Hashanah and how it relates to our daily life. Each student created a Rosh Hashanah card to mom and dad to bless them with this exciting new beginning. Questions for Home: Please tell us about the Rosh Hashanah symbols - what do you think we should put on our table? and why?

Getting ready to play at recess
6th Grade: 6th grade rotated between three stations. In the first, they began to explore questions like: What is a catastrophe? What was the Holocaust? What do I already know about it? What questions do I have? In the second station, students were introduced to middot, Jewish values, and they began to talk about what values are most important in their lives today. In the third station, students talked about their Jewish identity and began conversations around issues of antisemitism.
7th Grade: 7th grade began a text study of community building and how Jews build community. They are preparing for their first field trip of the year to the MJCCA ropes course, where they will be applying Judaism in an outdoor setting while building a community and having some FUN! Parents: Be on the lookout for an email with a permission form. Also, don't forget...we will meet at the JCC by the pool at 9:30 on Sunday, 9/16. Pick-up will be by the pool at 12:00 pm.
MIT: In the first half of the lesson, the 8th graders met Omer, Temple Emanu-El's Shinshin from Israel. Together they studied about teshuvah in preparation for Rosh Hashanah, and they learned from Omer's perspective as an Israeli. In the second half of their time, the MITs (Madrichim in Training) began preparations for the upcoming Pre-K Preview day. The 8th graders are so excited to plan a day of activities and fun for the Kindergartners and preschoolers.
Our 3rd through 7th graders learned about Zimria today.
Confirmation: Today the 9th and 10th graders had the second part to their scavenger hunt (started last week). It was designed to have the kids get to know the books and hidden treasure at Temple Emanu-El. It was also a great getting to know you and bonding activity.
Are you interested in a SUPER SOFT and COMFY Temple Emanu-El t-shirt? We are putting together an order. Please click here to download the order form. T-shirts are $10 each and come in sizes Youth Small through Adult XXLarge. They are seriously comfy...just ask our clergy and staff.

VV & Audi Engine Oil Filter Drain Tool
$ 22.95 $ 27.60
- Cleaner Oil Changes - This tool fits 2.0L and 2.5L VW and Audi engines that use the cartridge style oil filter system. It makes the oil change process much cleaner by draining the filter housing prior to removal preventing oil spills.
- Simply screw the tool into the drain valve on the oil filter housing, then tighten the black ring to drain the housing. Once the housing is drained it can be removed to replace the filter without the usual mess.
- This drain tool will provide years of service thanks to it's heavy duty construction. The nylon body with metal connector attaches to a 36" long PVC drain hose that allows you to direct the oil into your oil disposal container.
Model # MX2340 | Body Material: Heavy duty nylon | Hose Material: PVC hose| Hose Length: 36" | Warranty: 1 Year
How It Works
1) Unscrew the plastic cap from the bottom of the oil filter housing to expose the drain valve.
2) Thread the oil drain tool into the threaded port that was exposed by removing the plug.
3) Direct the end of the drain hose into your oil drain pan or container.
4) Tighten the black ring on the tool which activates the spring loaded valve inside the oil filter housing and starts the flow of oil.
5) Once the housing is drained remove the tool and continue with the oil change as you normally would.
Works as designed
Drain tool worked as advertised, don't know how long it will last as it is mostly plastic
Works great, can't wait to change my oil again.

Starting And Running A Business At Home
Having a home business is a dream for many people. Sooner or later, though, the thoughts of setting one's own hours and wearing a bathrobe while on the job turn into the realities that it's a lot of hard, uncertain work. This article will help you understand what tools you will need to start a home business.
If your home-based business requires you to travel to meet with clients, inspect properties, or make purchases, be sure to document all the costs of your travel. Traveling expenses are 100% deductible, and your food while traveling is 50% deductible. Even tips can be considered a business expense, so make sure to get a receipt for everything, and make sure that receipt notates the final amount you actually paid.
When approaching a home business, it is important to know where the biggest opportunity lies. Internet-based businesses are the biggest thing in today's world, but they also come with some of the biggest risks. Therefore, one of the most important parts of starting a home business is making sure that your product or service is going to fit a profitable niche.
At the end of each day, set your goals for the next work day. It is up to you to build a consistent work system that will propel your home business forward. By simply setting up your goals the day before, you are allowing yourself to jump right into work immediately in the morning, which is often the time that you are freshest.
You can claim as a deduction the cost of meals for clients, but it is best if you can show that the clients you are entertaining are really paying customers of your business. Auditors understand that meals at restaurants can be a good way to attract clients, but they are more likely to feel the write-off is justified if the clients you take out also bring you substantial revenue. Keep all receipts.
The name you select for your home business is critically important and will play a large role in determining whether your business succeeds or fails. Your business's name must make sense and be easy for consumers to remember. When deciding on a business name it is also a good idea to find out if the domain name is available. Ideally, your domain name should be the same as your business name.
When running a home based business, it is very important to have a strong online presence. The great thing about the popularity of the internet, in relation to home businesses, is that you are not limited to selling in your immediate area. Intelligent use of the internet will allow your business to reach consumers all over the world.
Although it can be difficult, you shouldn't just give up on starting a home business. Hopefully, this article has given you the information you need to decide if a home business is feasible and what will lead to the greatest chance of success. The tips included in this article, will help you to see if your dream is possible or if it needs to be refined a little.
