Quite frankly, one of the most significant challenges faced by NCADD and our National Network of Affiliates is putting the problems of alcohol and drugs into a perspective that the general public can understand. When alcohol is combined into any discussion about other drugs, the general public, the media and policy makers tend to focus on the more dramatic issues of the illegal drugs or just drinking and driving, as if it is the only alcohol-related problem.
The focus of this article is not about one or the other being "the real problem." The goal is the presentation of accurate information both to better inform the public about risks and to more effectively shape the needed public and policy response. And these days, as more and more data and information are aggregated under the term "substance abuse" or "behavioral health" it makes it more difficult for us and the general public to fully understand the true scope of the problem.
In the March 2011 issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research Journal, Disaggregating the Burden of Substance Dependence in the United States by Bridget F. Grant, Deborah A. Dawson, and Howard B. Moss provided a powerful chart breaking down the numbers by alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, opiates, sedatives, tranquilizers, hallucinogens, cocaine, amphetamines, inhalants and heroin for U.S. adults, age 18 and older.
For each drug, the research data have been separated into four distinct columns:
Prevalence and Population Estimates of Past-Year Substance Use and Past Year Substance Dependence: U.S. Adults 18 Years and Older
Source: Adapted from Disaggregating the Burden of Substance Dependence in the United States by Bridget F. Grant, Deborah A. Dawson and Howard B. Moss, Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, Vol. 35, No. 3, March 2011, pp 387-388, published by the Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA).
As summarized in the following table, inconsistent with popular public perception, alcohol past-year use and past-year dependence clearly affects far more people than all other drugs combined.

Hello everyone!
Now that I'm finally settled into life out here in Lincoln, I'm looking to start up a gaming group. I'm interested in running either D&D 3.5 or Dark Heresy on weekends or mid-week nights.
I have a homebrew D&D 3.5 setting I've been working on for almost five years that I would run a campaign in. It's high magic and planar, so there are many options for characters.
I have a brief rundown of two Inquisitors whom the acolytes would work under for a Dark Heresy campaign, one a Xenos hunter and the other a Daemon hunter.
If you're interested in either or both, post here and I'll give out more information.

What Is a Credit-Builder Loan?
Credit-builder loans can help you build your credit score, and they don't require credit to start with.
They're not widely advertised and are generally offered by smaller financial institutions, such as credit unions and community banks. The purpose, as their name suggests, is to help people achieve credit respectability.
Financial institutions would like to see you succeed. After all, if you become a customer, you're more likely to make money for them in the future. To make sure it doesn't get burned on the loan, the lender will set strict limitations. Think of it as training wheels for credit.
Credit-builder loans go by many names, such as the catchy "Fresh Start Loans" or "Starting Over Loans." If you're looking to rebuild credit with an installment loan, ask your bank or credit union about secured personal loans designed to help people who need to help build credit.
Secured credit cards have long been suggested as a means of credit building — and they can be very effective — but you first have to have enough money to pay the security deposit.
If you have an income but can't pay a deposit for a secured credit card, credit-builder loans offer a way around that hurdle.
How credit-builder loans work
You apply for the loan, whether you have bad credit or no credit, and you are approved, but there's a safety net for the lender. The money you borrow is deposited in a savings account — one that you cannot access until you have fully repaid the loan.
If you pay the loan as agreed, the financial institution promises to send a good report to the credit bureaus. A 2013 study showed an average improvement of 35 points with six months of on-time payments for loans as small as $100.
At the end of the loan term, you get the money — and likely an improved credit score.
But be sure to pay on time. If you miss payments, that negative information would also be reported. The financial institution doesn't take a big risk when it lends to you, because it can reclaim the money if you don't hold up your end of the bargain.
If you're looking for a credit builder loan and your credit union or community bank doesn't offer them (or even know what they are), you might try a Community Development Financial Institution. These organizations exist to help lower-income communities, and there are about 1,000 of them in the United States. Government grants and other incentives make these small-dollar loans more attractive to financial institutions.
Online lenders include Self Lender, which offers $1,100 loans repaid over a year at $100 a month. At the end, you get $1,100 and a credit score with a year of on-time payments.
How secured installment loans work
You don't have to be low-income to have crummy credit or a need to rebuild. If you have money in the bank, you may have another option for an installment loan: a share- or certificate-backed loan.
In that case, a deposit you already have at the financial institution is the collateral, and that money is frozen until the loan is repaid (or it may be incrementally thawed, as the loan is repaid). So if you have funds on deposit at a small bank or credit union, it may be worth asking if you can borrow against them to help re-establish credit.
You may have other options for building credit
Secured loans such as credit-builder loans tend to be a good deal because the collateral reduces risk for the lender and greatly reduces the interest rate, which is typically well under 10%. The catch, of course, is that you don't get the money until the loan is repaid.
If you are trying to build credit and need the proceeds of a loan immediately (for debt consolidation, for example), you will probably need to take an unsecured personal loan. That means the lender has no collateral, just the strength of your credit history, to rely on. If your credit is damaged or thin, you'll pay higher interest rates, sometimes as much as 36%, which tends to be the ceiling with most lenders.
Some lenders who will grant you unsecured personal loans without checking your credit at all, but those installment loans are much more like payday loans. The lenders don't check your credit, but they also don't report to credit bureaus unless you default. And the loans carry interest rates that can easily reach 300% or higher.

By Fred Pearce KENYAN claims of an upsurge in ivory poaching do not stand up to close scrutiny, according to the country's own elephant experts. At the meeting of the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Nairobi next week, Kenya will push for an end to the international sale of legally culled elephant ivory because of a supposed rise in poaching. However, the country's position is weakened because of a dispute over its own poaching figures.

Some Important ideas about Guerilla Growing of Marijuana PlantsStealth, discreet, secret and other related descriptions all make up what is popularly known in marijuana cultivation as guerrilla growing techniques. This is usually resorted to by people who have no available space in their own property to grow or just don't want to be identified as the one growing them. Guerilla growing is actually more meticulous as compared to the usual methods of raising crops. This is because of the attending circumstances in such a method where the grower does not have complete control over what might happen to his weed plants especially when he is not around.
Here are some ideas that could prove useful in growing weed plants in an outdoor set-up using stealth method.
Choose the right strain for guerrilla growingFor stealth purposes, it is best to choose a strain that does not grow too tall so as not to invite attention from possible passers-by. The aroma emitted especially during the flowering stage is also a concern in an outdoor setting so selecting a strain that does not emit strong scent is advisable.
LocationIn a guerrilla growing of weed plants, it is necessary to choose a place that is not frequented by people. This is to ensure to a certain extent the security of the crops from possible thieves and other intrusions. The location must be secluded enough that even walk trails must not be there so as not to invite attention. Human intervention is not the only consideration as the grower must also think of the animals that could be present in the place of growing marijuana plants.
Finding the right spotThe best place to grow pot plants is where there will be lots of morning sun and less of the afternoon heat. Position the cannabis plants in such a way that they will be exposed to a lot of morning sun and be shaded from the afternoon sun to prevent over-exposure to the heat of the sun. A place where running water like creek or river would be best.
How can I know if a strain is good for guerrilla growing?Fortunately for beginners, almost all commercially available strains have the corresponding specifications on how they should be grown and whether they are good for guerrilla growing techniques. Buy from reliable seedbanks carrying reputable breeders and you will not go wrong.
Do you have strains that are good for guerrilla growing?Yes. All you have to do is choose from the many strains and varieties available from our seedbanks and partners.

Racism has no place in Jews
Shalom!! I am so excited to be blogging for Times of Israel! Before I tackle the real issues, let me introduce myself and tell you the story of a young boy who at 19 years of age, makes his first voyage to a mystical land for the first time in his life. As he got off the plane in his people's homeland, he feels that connection, that place of belonging that eluded him for 19 years.
Obviously, this boy, in the best year of this life thus far, is me. I came to Israel for the first time this September finally having this unbelievable opportunity to spend my gap year learning at a Yeshiva in the Old City.
Being that this is my first time in Israel, I took the time to stroll around the Rova and explore one of the most fascinating cities in not just the Jewish world, but the world at large. As I walked up the stairs from the exalted Kotel on one of those first nights, I saw something that angered me to my core. I saw an Ethiopian Jew, not hurting or bothering anyone, getting accosted by a Haredi Jew.
"You are too black to be Jewish!" He called at him.
Had this just been an isolated incident, I don't think that it would have ruined the perfect picture I was thus far painting of Israel.
Unfortunately, this was just a bead in a necklace of a problem that Jews have struggled with for years. I remember once, when I was 14, I confronted a Jew about this and his answer really had an impact on me.
"We are Jewish, we HAVE to be racist."
Of course, despite already being passionate about this issue, it did align with my perception of Orthodox Judaism.
In the 2008 election, when I was 13, I remember the argument against Barack Obama in my Yeshiva was solely that he was black and that his middle name was Hussein. That same year, during Operation Cast Lead, I continued to hear that the "Arabs" were attacking Israel, as though they all had something to do with it. The real heart break was when one colleague stuck his head out the window and yelled "Death to all Arabs!"
What made him better than the "Arabs" he spoke of? He was just as horrible.
As Jews, I think it is our duty to have a higher standard for ourselves. As Jews, a nation that has being through so much persecution for our ancestors, we cannot allow ourselves to even imagine a world that we ourselves are the oppressors.
I've been told to "chill out" about this, told that it was all just words and no action. That was all proven wrong on the night of July 1, 2014 after the brutal and despicable murder of a young Arab boy, Mohammed Abu Khedir. The passion of the hatred towards the kidnappers of the three Jewish boys led to a crime against not just the Arabs, but humanity itself.
Where does this all come from?
I'd venture to say that racism and intolerance in Jews stems from the same psychological effects of being bullied. For years, Jews have been persecuted, now, finally in perhaps the best position they have been in since the Temple stood, many Jews find themselves coupled with fear and not knowing how else to govern.
The last paragraph of Parshat Ki Teitzei reads the command to kill Amalek. It was always something that bothered me. How can the Torah advocate for Jews to dispose of a certain nation, Amalek? Even more so, if that is our commandment, what can Jews really say in the fight against Jihad? That it's unethical? To be honest, I struggled with this question a lot.
I was never satisfied with "Well we don't know who they are." answer because it still advocated racism in a sense. I came to Israel for answers and this was one of the first I got.
Amalek is not just a nation, but a set of values. Most Non Jews don't exemplify these values but it would be correct in destroying those who do. Perhaps we are commanded to destroy a group of people that are changing the Middle East with beheading videos released every two weeks, but knowledge that Islam is not the enemy, IS is.
In Tanach, we read about the heroic actions of Yael, a non Jewish woman who killed Sisro. Yael has been immortalized in Jewish culture, as Jewish parents unknowingly name after this "goy".
The Torah doesn't advocate racism. We aren't born with racism. It is taught. It is taught at the home as a father voices his displeasure with his black co workers. It is taught in religious papers that do not appreciate the necessity to be politically correct. It is taught in the schools that do not teach tolerance. It is taught on our Facebook walls that show our side of conflict only.
It is a chain that must be broken. If we ever want to get along with not just the world but with each other, we must disregard the racist mentality of judging others in a superficial and sickening way. We mustn't generalize and we must ensure that we are constantly politically correct, lest we see the passion rise into Jewish terrorist groups that will forever blemish our Jewish name.

Hi there!
Whew - I made it through last week...card classes, end of school year, 7 year old birthday party - oh my! So very glad it's the weekend!
Have you seen the newest punch board from Stampin'up! ? It is a gift bag punch board - so you can create your own gift bags! I just love this thing!
I had a chance to play with mine a lot for my latest visit to the TV show Daytime. You can see my post about the projects I made here. For the show, I made the 3 standard sized gift bags that you can make with the board - 2 3/4 ", 3 1/4" and 3 3/4" wide.
I wanted to create custom sized gift bags for my two youngest son's teachers to hold their thank you gifts which were 5 1/2" wide. It took a little adjusting, but it worked!
Here are the bags....
I used some Very Vanilla cardstock for the bag itself and then I dressed up the front with some DSP and matching cardstock. I also used up the last of my Chevron Ribbon.
My middle son had a male teacher this year, so I used some of the great Typeset DSP from the new Annual Catalogue and then I framed it with some Basic Black Cardstock. I added a few banners using my new Triple Banner Punch and finally a bow, yep even for a male teacher - I just couldn't resist!
For my youngest son's teacher, I used a bit more feminine colours. I found some retired DSP in my stash that matched the ribbon I had as well as the card I made for her. I framed the DSP with some Sahara Sand Cardstock which was also a colour from her card. And again, I made some banner's and finished it off with a bow.
Here is Stampin'UP!'s video on how to use the Gift Bag Punch Board.
If you have any questions please leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
Happy Stampin'

It's sometimes hard to recall, when faced by the avalanche of Eric Carle merchandise, that it all started because he is a good artist. Pair his paintings of dragons and various other mythological monsters with poems about them, and my son was mesmerized. We had to buy the book, since it wasn't practical to fly to his cousins' house in Colorado to re-read it. I love poetry books for kids that don't pull any punches, because the variety of language and structure is great for them and also refreshing for the grownups who read with them. This is one of the best.

When an appellate court quashed a request to expand a controversial Plaquemines Parish landfill in 2009, residents in the neighboring Oakville community thought they'd finally won a permanent victory against a long-standing foe.
But, now, roughly two years later, residents are again fighting to prevent landfill owner Kennett Stewart from expanding into eight acres of wetlands next to the site.
Industrial Pipe Inc. wants to increase Industrial Pipe Landfill by about 8.3 acres and fill it with more than 245,000 cubic yards of construction debris, some of it brought in from outside Louisiana, according to an application submitted to the Plaquemines Parish Local Coastal Management Program. The expansion needs a parish permit because it would involve destruction of wetlands.
The parish's coastal management committee scheduled a public hearing Tuesday to discuss the proposal. The committee will present a recommendation on the permit to the Parish Council, which will decide on the expansion. The council's decision can be appealed to state officials or in court.
Stewart could not be reached for comment. But his company's application for the expansion said it would fill an important role by handling waste in southeast Louisiana, a role that has grown since Hurricane Katrina.
For Oakville residents, the process is familiar. Stewart initially received approval from the Parish Council to expand the landfill in 2003, but that permit was revoked by the state 4th Circuit Court of Appeal in 2009. The court found the council failed to issue a statement explaining the rationale for the expansion.
At the time, the decision was hailed as a victory for residents in the mostly black community whose fight with the landfill has been described as a battle against environmental discrimination. Without the expansion, observers believed the landfill would be forced to close soon, said Corinne Van Dalen, an attorney with the Tulane University Environmental Law Clinic, which represents the Oakville Community Action Group.
Under the new application, residents fear they could be dealing with environmental and health issues caused by the landfill for 20 more years and that it will be storing waste from anywhere in the country.
"We are not pleased about it at all," said Rose Jackson, an Oakville resident who has been battling the landfill for decades. "I don't see where that makes any sense at all."
Jackson said residents have dealt with rodents, debris, pollution and unsafe conditions for their children for years, and the landfill has regularly flouted state and parish rules. She said the parish's previous decision to allow the landfill to expand into the wetlands is at odds with its regular petitions to state and federal agencies to save coastal wetlands.
Residents are ready for the landfill, which first opened in the 1980s without the proper permits, to finally close, she said.
"There is no way they would have let this happen in any other community," Jackson said.
Parish President Billy Nungesser said he supports closing the landfill, but the decision is up to the council.
Nungesser said that when the permitting process began again in 2010, he suggested residents allow an expansion in exchange for a promise that the landfill would be closed in five years. That deal was not supported.
"I agree the time for that landfill has come and gone. It's time to have an end in sight," Nungesser said.

And, wonder of wonders, the request returns 200! Yea! Well... actually... modified rapture. It turns out the *first* request returns 200. A second PUT request returns from the event loop without even calling my terminate handler! I can't believe it! I thought I was beginning to understand this stuff, but no luck. The task is to write a memory buffer to a URL. Here's my PUT code sequence: // Create a temporary anchor to represent the buffer being written. anchor = HTTmpAnchor(HTLib_userProfile()); HTAnchor_setDocument(anchor, buffer); HTAnchor_setLength(anchor, numBytes); // Perform a PUT on that anchor. request = HTRequest_new(); HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, WWW_SOURCE); // Don't convert output format. HTRequest_setOutputStream(request, HTBlockHole()); // Throw away any reponse body. // Add a terminate handler to stop the event loop. HTRequest_addAfter(request, aTerminateHandler, NULL, NULL, HT_ALL, HT_FILTER_LAST, FALSE); if (HTPutAbsolute(anchor, (char*)url, request)) { HTEventList_loop(request); // Wait for PUT to complete. err = OK; // PUT succeded. } else err = NO; HTRequest_delete(request); // Clean up. HTAnchor_deleteAll(NULL); The symptom is: First time, the server returns "100 Continue", then "200 OK". The client processes both responses, calls my terminate handler with status = 200, and everything is fine. Second time, the *same* code runs, the server returns "100 Continue" and the client processes the reply, and then returns from the event loop without waiting for the "200 OK" *and* without calling my terminate handler. ARGH! Any ideas? regards, -jimReceived on Monday, 21 December 1998 12:31:36 UTC

Annie's Teeny Tiny Quilt Shop (anniesttqs.com) is owned and operated by a mother / daughter team who draw inspiration from each other and their mutual love of quilting. Mom has loved quilting since the 1970's when she ran her own store, Calico Cat Quilt Shop, in Sanford, Maine. Since that time, we have so enjoyed the process of creating quilts and sharing this knowledge with others.
Our goal is to promote the joy of quilting, along with it's rich history of ideas, techniques and stories with fellow quilters, in the hopes that the quilting traditions we love will be passed on to other generations for years to come.
Annie's Teeny Tiny Quilt Shop was opened in 2010 to provide the Newfield, Maine area with a friendly place where quilters could gather to learn from each other, share ideas and achievements, and socialize with other quilters in the community. We outgrew our Newfield location and in January 2016 moved down the road to Limerick. We feel so fortunate to work in an industry where we are surrounded by creativity and camaraderie every day!

Winters coming thick and fast, I've just got the bed sheets out of the washer to hang outside, Mark told me while I was half-listening half-asleep yesterday that today was going to be lovely… well – its misty with a speck of sunshine coming through. Not any good for drying the washing. Our last power bill came in at $140 for the month, which is close to our average over the warmer months now. Long gone are our $60-100 bills! from when we lived in a house almost half the floor area of this one and no one was home all day. Also our electronics and our data usage is gone through the roof with my addiction to youtube tutorials, the kids owning a couple of devices each and the salons sound system running spotify 🙂
How times change so quickly.
Here's my list of what I do, what I know others have been successful doing, and things I will do this autumn/winter and I hope something in it helps you to save some cash during our NZ cold months.
1. Invest $90 to get yourself a day/night smart meter installed by your power provider. We've done this type of electricity plan from the get go. When we lived in the village during our rebuild, the power bills were crippling! on just a one-rate 24/7 plan. This will save you so much money on your biggest costs: water heating and heating. More on that in a minute.
2. Invest in either a heat-pump or devise ways to get firewood in for your house super cheap or swapping for something you can do of value for someone else. My dad for example mills forests on farms that want clearing work done, he charges them no invoice, he keeps the wood and his church is using the funds from that sold wood to do ministry and missionary work. My older sister does a day every now and then with her kids and collects pine cones – who remembers doing this as a kid? It doubles up as a zero-cost family outing. win-win. If neither of these are an option, get yourself some manual timers you plug into the wall to plug your electric heater into so that you can set it to turn on at 6 am to heat up your home on the night-rate.
3. Set your heat pump, or manual timer to turn on at 5 or 6am (our night rate is 9pm-7am) so that you get the most expensive heating done on the cheaper power rate.
4. Have your hot water cylinder temperature checked (someone handy, the hubby? brother? yourself if you're a clever wifey!) to make sure your water isnt any hotter than you really need it to be and have it HARD WIRED to your NIGHT meter when they install it. If you already have one of these meters just call your provider and have your plan changed to night rate and then organize an electrician to make sure your cylinder is only heating during those hours. They will tell you when you call that the savings of night heating aren't that great and that they're going out of fashion. Nice try! I had a spreadsheet of comparisons handy when I called and gave them a figure or two I tell ya!!
We also have an electric califont shower, this has been both a blessing and burden with young kids because while you never run out of water…. you never…. run out of water. I have to yell at them to get out of the shower, and sometimes I forget! so there goes half an hour of instant water heating on DAY RATE arrrggghhhh! little mites.
I have my own shower after 9pm, and often the hubby showers well before 7am so its only the kids showers on the day rate.
5. For those with labour intense working hubbies, fill the washer and soak clothes in it a day before you actually wash them. Sodium Percarbonate is my newest bestest friend! available at bin inn! its the best part of napisan and keeps all the fibres of clothes lovely and lush, its also what hotels and motels have used for years on their luxury linens. I put 2 Tbsp of this in with every wash as well as a scoop of regular washing powder. Do NOT use fabric softener, it gunks up clothes fibres and makes your towels crunchy. What!? Seriously… trust me. Do all washing on a cold wash or warm wash if you have enough water in your cyllinder for showers+washing on warm in the coldest of months. I don't feel my clothes come out clean when the water is ice cold. Add half a cup of washing soda crystals to your water in the winter. Put your washing on just before 9pm so that you're using the last of your cyllinders hot water before it starts to heat up again. Get it hung up before you go to bed beside an ajar window or with your heatpump on dehumidify… this is optional but you'll thank me later when your home doesn't smell musty or mildewy. In the morning place the washing in the sunny spots of your house, sun kills germies 🙂 and by that evening I would be throwing it into my clothes dryer at 9pm to finish it and fold it. This has cut my dryer time down to needing 1/3 of the time in the dryer. If you have a hot water cupboard you can place the towels in there to get the absolute last dampness out of them instead of the dryer if you really have to 🙂
6. Open your house windows first thing in the morning for half an hour then close them back up. Do it while you do the school run so when you get back you're not freezing your ass off. Its so important to keep the house moisture free. Use a fan in the bathroom and I have that window open/ajar 24/7 as well as our toilet rooms window and I just keep both those rooms doors closed. Yep its freaking cold in there in winter, but its clean and healthy and doesn't impart moisture into our living rooms or bedrooms. We've all seen the ad's on tv that prove its easiest and cheapest to heat a dry moisture free home.
7. Dedicate towels to people and wash them just once a week. Hang your towels in a sunny spot of the house each morning and return to the bathroom just before everyone arrives home in the avo/evening. Make everyone wear their outer layers of clothes at least twice before they throw them in the wash. Wash bed sheets once a fortnight if not weekly and mist your pillow each morning and your whole mattress lightly when you do change the sheets with a DIY alcohol/lavender spray to help keep germs away. Change your pillowcases weekly or every few days if you're a drooler!
8. Use a slow-cooker for meals. You'd be surprised at how many meals can be converted to being done in the slow cooker. Hit up google for meal conversions and recipe ideas. Make double sized meals so you can do re-heat nights. Also do your baking at 9pm, that is if you're still awake at that time! I'm up til 11pm each night and out of bed at 7am so it works well for my sleep cycle.
9.If you're a stay at home mum, keep yourself busy with clubs, groups and if it works for your house…. a part time job. This means you're not needing to heat your home with everyone out for the day.
10. Keep a record of your power consumption and work out where your moneys going. I used to download the excel spreadsheet but now our meter sends the data to my cellphone. It's really interesting to see how changing your lifestyle habits a little can save you so much. It's not so much about being frugal and pinching pennies for me now a days, its more that I'd rather ensure my household isn't wasteful with our income and that we put our income to better life happiness increasing uses – such as trips and vacations!

Aquatabs FLO pilot in Bangladeshzurück zur Übersicht
Working to get more people safe water:
Medentech partners with Stanford to pilot an innovative water treatment solution.
Did you know?
- Around 315,000 children under-five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That's almost 900 children per day, or one child every two minutes.[2]
- Every minute a newborn baby dies from infection caused by a lack of safe water and an unclean environment.[3]
- Nearly half of all people using dirty water live in sub-Saharan Africa, and one fifth live in Southern Asia.[4]
- At current rates of progress, everyone in low- and middle-income countries won't have clean water until 2057 - 27 years behind schedule.[6]
- (WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) Report 2015) Unsafe and insufficient drinking water along with hygiene and inadequate sanitation, account for 7% of the total disease burden and 19% of child mortality worldwide.[7]
- SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 6.1: By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.[8]
- Improved sources are in general safer than unimproved sources of drinking water, but they are not universally consistently free of fecal contamination. In 38% of 191 studies at least a quarter of samples from improved sources exceeded WHO recommended levels of Facel Indicator Bacteria (FIB).[9]
- An estimated 3% of the global population use surface waters and a further 8% use ''other unimproved sources'' such as tanker trucks, unprotected dug wells, and unprotected springs.[10]
Why is "Safe" water so important?
As shown in the UNICEF-Report "Drinking Water and Sanitation" (2012), diarrhea diseases caused by dirty / unsafe water are the main cause of death for children. In the World today more than 7 times the number of children (under 5) will die from diarrheal diseases than AIDS.[12] Early estimates are showing that only the usage of clean water would be able to rescue the life of approx. 2.200.000 children. The availableness of clean water fundamentally obviates diseases. Therefore child mortality and simultaneously costs for medical care would be lowered.
Despite considerable progress in expanding access to "improved" water sources over the past several decades, it is estimated that roughly one billion people still receive water that does not meet international standards for safety. Two dominant models for water treatment are centralized and household treatment. These are both effective in different contexts but each faces challenges in scaling up access to safe water in developing countries.
What we are doing about Safe Water?
To help address this issue MedenTech, a subsidiary of Anti-Germ, partnered with the Woods Institute at Stanford University in 2015 to explore an alternative paradigm for water treatment in low-income urban areas, termed point-of-collection (POC) disinfection. The team of researchers is led by Jenna Davis at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. Davis, in collaboration with MedenTech, other members of Lotus Water project, are testing one method of point of collection treatment, named the Aquatabs Flo. This community-scale, fully automated chlorine dosing device for shared water points in low-income urban settings requires neither reliable electricity nor 24/7 supply to function consistently.
This study follows on an initial efficacy trial of the Aquatabs Flo in 2015 in which the water quality was tested in 40 compounds which had Aquatabsflo installed in their shared water points. Of the 221 samples taken in Dec 2015, 76% had free chlorine residual at above 0.1 parts per million at the hand pump.
The Project's business model relies on monthly payments from landlords, who typically own shared water points in Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the world's most densely populated cities. The team's research indicates that slum residents are willing to pay higher rents in exchange for higher-quality water. Linking the device's lease to service payments would hold landlords accountable to their tenants. On average, a 1- to 2-percent rent increase would be sufficient to cover device maintenance, according to Amy Pickering, an engineering research professor with the Lotus Water team.
During the health impact study, the team has found that typical refill frequency of the Aquatabs Flo for a shared water point ranged from 2-10 weeks. In addition, the chlorine dosing has remained relatively stable, with on average 90% of the samples measuring at 0.1 mg/L or above for free chlorine residual.
The preliminary results of the study were presented at the UNC Water & Health in October 2016 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The final results from this exciting health impact study are expected in mid 2017.

Chapel Ridge is pretty peaceful and our neighbors, I consider real friends I can count on. Houses aren't as close to each other as other nhoods. Our hoa dues, not quite sure where it goes besides the common area. We used to get a print out. I know and like some of the covenants like ball hoops have to be behind the front of house and the sheds have to match the house and have real shingles. Houses were made from various builders, so some houses repeat, but the neighborhood doesn't look as cookie cutter.

What Trump has taught me…
Posted October 29, 2016on:
- In: attitude | choices | encouragement | inspirational | Life | life lessons | motivation | People | truth
- Leave a Comment
Let me start off by saying, I am not into politics AT ALL. Yet, I will admit Trump fasinates me. I say this because from what I hear, he doesn't have any political background, yet he decided to run for the highest position in America. And in his heart he believes he can win. I admire this so much because that's the true definition of FAITH!
"Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
This man despite all odds is going full steam towards his dreams. I may not agree with some of things he says or does, but watching him in action has catapulted my FAITH levels. If he can see himself as President, I should be able to see myself as a New York Times Best Seller. I believe the word of God when it says, "But with God all things are possible." Matthew 9:26
"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24
But getting on that list or achieving anything in life takes work. Nothing is simply handed to anyone. I must be diligent and be faithful with my part and God will be faithful with his part. I then must trust his perfect timing and stop looking at my watch.
I want to encourage everyone reading this blog post that if you can first see it in your mind, then it can become your reality. Stop focusing on the now and who you are right now. But rather, view yourself as what you want to become. Live in your mind as if you are already who you are trying to become. The first step is to first think it. Next, speak it. Speak it daily.
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Mark 11:23

What are "Fun" Awards ?
Fun Awards are something thought up by our first group of teens in 2002. This wonderful group of homeschool teens went out and earned money, bought prizes, and thought up the fun categories. So, every year we carry on this tradition. The teens attending prom are able to vote for these awards. We have many categories, but the very favorite without fail year after year is: Two Friends Most Likely to end up in a Mexican Prison...LOL We usually hand out from 15 to 20 awards every year.

I grabbed a shopping cart and first went to the cereal aisle in Jewel. There was an employee that was stacking items a little ways from me. So I pretended to check out cereal boxes for info (palm oil, of course) As I picked up each box, I put a sticker on each one. I did about 10 boxes then moved to an aisle that was prominently displaying Keebler products. It was a very busy aisle but I picked up the packages and again read the labels and put the stickers on them. I finished the rest of the 20 stickers and couldn't find the remaining ones. I went back to the cereal aisle but they weren't there. After about 2 minutes looking I casually went back to my car and there they were.
My next trip was further down the road where there was a Dominicks. Again I grabbed a cart and proceeded to the candy aisle. I found where the M & M's were. I put about 3 stickers on the packages when an employee approached me and asked if he could help me. I politely told him that I was just looking and he left. I thought for sure he caught me but he didn't.
From the candy aisle, I went to where the ramen noodles were (they were on sale so I knew that they would be perfect to get the message out). From there, I went to the cookie aisle and finished putting the rest of the stickers on Keebler products.
I walked around the store with the shopping cart for a few seconds and then left the store.
All in all, it went as smooth as glass and I'm am glad that I did it.
What a great campaign and thanks for letting me help.
I started wondering if the grocery stores had been alerted to watch for stickering activity. Although I was dressed very nicely and look conservative, a VERY OBVIOUS plain clothes person followed me up and down aisles. I wanted to say, "Try pushing a cart and look less obvious."
Allie in North Carolina checked in:
So, I was very excited to Stick It To Palm Oil yesterday. I had gotten over 150 stickers in the mail last week and gathered quite a few friends for the day. We showed up at our local Harris Teeter ready for some action. We scattered in a few small groups. As me and my friend Francesco were bringing awareness to some 100 Calorie Packs, a man came behind me. He had a voice deep with southern drawl, broad shoulders and a potbelly. He said to me, holding up a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies in my face, "You want to explain this to me?". I turned around and politely told him about this wonderful movement. He responded with a lecture about losing customers, and requested that I leave.
Of course, I gathered my crew and we left without any commotion.

Neil Young - S/T (1969) Restored 1st Version (2016)
CD Quality (16bit/44.1kHz)
High Resolution (24bit/96kHz)
pass: profstoned
16 comments:
"Why on earth did no one think to save those pages for posterity on webarchive? :( -PS"
I don't think it had anything to do with no-one bothering to save it in Web Archive... This is the message I get when I try to access the now-defunct sidestreetrecords.com website in the Wayback Machine:
This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."
It would seem that someone (possibly the site owner?) deliberately requested for the site to not get archived. It's definitely not from robots.txt, either, because 1) the message specific it ("Page cannot be crawled or displayed due to robots.txt.") isn't what appears, and, 2) the site with robots.txt would still need to be up for it to apply, so if it's offline for an extended length, Web Archive would stop displaying that message and start showing all pages that were archived before robots.txt was put up.
FYI, this is what I get when I try to search for sidestreetrecords.com on Archive.is. It appears to have gone offline as early as June 2012, if the dates of the snapshots are right. It might have even gone offline earlier, sadly enough.
Anyways, as always, many thanks for your restoration, prof. It'll be interesting to hear this UK pressing with high-end detail restored alongside lack of CSG. A sad thought, but perhaps the only remaining tape versions of the 3 tracks might be the copy tapes made of the 1st CSG version, but if so, at least the CSG could be digitally (and accurately) removed today. That is assuming the tapes of the original 3 mixes were thrown out when they were replaced with the remixes, which might or might not have happened.
One last note, but I do find it a little funny that it took until 1976 for the CSG version in the UK to be replaced with the newer version, all because Neil toured there with Crazy Horse. I'm not gonna attest myself as any Neil Young expert, but did it really take him that long to visit the UK between 1969 and 1976?

P.S. Forgot to mention it, but thanks for re-including the mono 45 "Cinnamon Girl" with your rip. Always love it when Neil rocks out.

Thanks Vic for clarifying. Yes, that makes sense, because that site was definitely a very interesting read for NY fans. It disappeared shortly after the release of my first rip of this, but I had the foresight of mind to save some of it, which I have used for this article.
I'm very pleased with how this one turned out. Then again, fans of the Hoffman blanket-of-death sound (and I'm afraid I was once misguided too), may prefer the old one.

- Prof. Stoned said...
BTW, unlike what I wrote in 2009, I'm now pretty sure the CSG was on the mixdown mastertapes. The stereo panorama of the standard version is still somewhat uneven on the unremixed tracks. I like to think, I've managed to improve on that with this version.

Even if the UK pressing is from a tape copy, this rip sounds stunning, so far the best version I've heard of the original mix, or should I say, the best version of the album.
If the original never gets released on digital form, I'm already entirely happy with this one.
The bonus mono mix of Cinnamon Girl is a very nice gift.
Thank you so much for this beautiful effort, Prof.

Wow. This has to be the best version of the original mix. The Old Laughing Lady sounds phenomenal. Thanks.
- November 19, 2016 at 12:34 AM
Stunning. Apart from the occasional telltale sign of lower-volume breakage, this sounds like an absolutely legit digital transfer from the studio. I'm hearing reverb use I'm noticing for the first time ever (incidentally in "The Last Trip to Tulsa"), and "String Quartet from Whiskey Boot Hill" sounds remarkably close-miked and real. A great listen. Thank you!

Bo Widerberg's "Joe Hill" is intended—one must assume—as a, poetic appreciation of the song-writing Wobbly, a Swedish immigrant who was tried and convicted for the murder of a Salt Lake City grocer in 1914 and executed the following year by a firing squad in the yard of the Utah State Penitentiary.However, the movie is so irresolute in making assumption about its hero, about his drives and his dreams, and especially about his guilt, that it is scarcely an appreciation of even the mythical Joe Hill, who was resurrected in 1925 in the mighty organizer's ballad written by Alfred Hayes and Earl Robinson. Without meaning to be, I'm sure, Widerberg's "Joe Hill" is a mildly reproachful view of the manner in which a nice young man, who likes children and fresh air and music, and who has the political passions of a sincere shop steward, can be turned into a martyr by time and circumstance, with the cold collusion of some of his associates.Very little is known about the real Joe Hill, except that he was born Joel Emmanuel Haaglund, that he came to the United States about 1901 or 1902 at the age of 19, and that by 1910 he had become a member of the Industrial Workers of the World and had been active in a number of strikes and free-speech movements on the West Coast.At the time of his arrest in Salt Lake City, he was recovering from a gunshot wound, which was emphasized by the prosecution as the major point in the circumstantial case brought against him. There continues to be debate on whether or not Joe Hill was guilty—he always declined to explain his wound on the grounds that it involved a woman's honor, which, in the film anyway, is so suddenly courtly as to be ludicrous.There seems to be, however, very little doubt that the evidence was too flimsy to justify a guilty verdict, and that his execution was a political act, on the part of both the state and Joe Hill himself who, until the end, was cheerfully helping to shape his defeat into a victory. On the night before his execution, he wired William D. Haywood, the labor leader: "Don't waste time in mourning. Organize."Widerberg, who acknowledges that very few real facts are known about Joe Hill, has chosen to organize his film as a sappily pastoral ode to a man who, as played by Thommy Berggren, has the clean-cut, utterly nonidiosyncratic character of all great men—from Julius Caesar and Charlemagne to Stephen Foster and Alexander Graham Bell—as they are profiled in juvenile literature of an inspirational nature.With the exception of the early sequences, set in a New York ghetto that is suspiciously picturesque, most of the film takes place in idyllic, fertile landscapes. Joe rides freight trains across the great abundant country, meets colorful, well-fed hoboes, and slips, more or less dreamily, into league with the Wobblies who, according to Widerberg, spend a good deal of their time trying to organize industrial workers in pretty little farming communities.Indeed, "Joe Hill," whose screenplay has all of the substance (and all of the lurching continuity) of a bad musical-comedy libretto, describes so little of the depressed life of the working community, so little of the real vitality (and violence) of the pre-World War I American Labor movement, that the movie becomes a kind of lyrical slander.In his forword to the film, Widerberg quotes—for unfortunate thematic accuracy—the slogan carried by women pickets during the bitter, 10-week, 1912 textile strike in Lawrence Mass.: "We want bread and roses too." In one way or another, all of the Swedish director's movies have attempted to have their bread and roses too, most successfully in the early "Ravens End," a movie whose lovely surface solemnity is the visual equivalent to the psyche of the young working class artist within.In the subsequent "Elvira Madigan" and "Adalen '31," Widerberg's social concerns are still apparent, as they are in "Joe Hill," but now they have become the all but invisible undercarriage for a sadly frivolous movie that has teen dolled up and decorated like a Rose Bowl parade float — and with something of the same artistic impact.I suspect that Widerberg would like us to find analogies between Joe Hill's trial and some contemporary prosecutions, especially of Black Panthers, but that, it seems to me, is a presumption his movie simply is not qualified to make."Joe Hill," which opened yesterday at the Paramount and Sutton Theaters, was photographed principally in Sweden, with some locations shot in this country. Most of the dialogue is in English.
JOE HILL, directed, written and produced by Bo Widerberg; directors of photography, Petter Davidsson and Jorgen Persson; music composed and played by Stefan Grossman; a Sagittarius Production, distributed by Paramount Pictures. Running time: 113 minutes. At the Paramount Theater, Broadway at 61st Street, and Sutton Theater, 57th Street, east of Third Avenue. (The Motion Picture Association of America's Production Code and Rating Administration classifies this film "GP—all ages admitted, parental guidance suggested.")Joe Hill . . . . .

i love it!
i like it!
Incredible work! In love w/ colors!
huge and awesome!
Love your work, this one makes me think of the book "The World Inside" by Robert Silverberg
Reminds me of the movie Oblivion. Nicework.
Actually, the tower will not stand if these columns and hills....oh I`m just joking, great art!
this is so cool, I love your art!
looks very imposing
Really cool work, love the composition and colours! Keep it up
big and awesome, yes it is!
I'm not sure if that building will be stable with a such height, but it's very interesting idea.
yeah! giant monolithic towers ftw!
Reminds me of the Sleeping house in Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust
Good lord, its massive! To think there's 70 others, maybe more. @_@
nice one!!^^
great job, i like the colors. Nice and rich green gras !
very cool reminds me of the water towers in oblivion
Should probably lay it off with the photo textures just a little bit. Other than that, I guess it's alright. It's an interesting concept. I guess you could've pushed the values back on the tower just a bit though, would've added to the sense of scale. (:
This one is really catching. It's like a concept sketch for buildings on a planet we just discovered. 10/10

Sandy, Utah (Saturday, June 17, 2017) – Real Salt Lake (5-10-2, 17 pts) left the game late against expansion side Minnesota United FC at Rio Tinto Stadium as it defeated the Loons 1-0 courtesy of an 85th minute tally from FW Yura Movsisyan.
The match against Minnesota saw the home crowd give a warm welcome back to U.S. U-20 World Cup members DFs Justen Glad and Danilo Acosta and FWs Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo as all four featured in the match.
The first half of action saw RSL maintain most of the possession and chances as MF Jefferson Savarino and FW Luis Silva forced save-after-save from Minnesota goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth.
In the second 45 minutes RSL upped the tempo of the attack even higher as they threw numbers forward in waves. FW Joao Plata and MF Luke Mulholland again forced save-after-save out of the Loons goalkeeper but it was Movsisyan who made the difference when he entered the match for Silva for the final 20 minutes.
Movsisyan tagged his fifth goal of 2017 while GK Nick Rimando earned his 133rd career shutout in the win.
UP NEXT: RSL will travel to Northern California for a matchup against the San Jose Earthquakes on June 24 (8:30 pm MST kickoff). This will be the first meeting of 2017 between the two sides as RSL looks to avenge a record of 0-1-1 against the Quakes when they drew at Rio Tinto Stadium in late July and lost at Avaya Stadium in early October in the 2016 season. The game will be the first of two matches between the sides in 2017.
RSL – Yura Movsisyan, 85th minute: A headed effort from RSL defender Justen Glad had everyone on the field asking for a handball on a Minnesota defender in the box. As the ball fell to Minnesota goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, he lost sight of it as it clamored off his hands and fell to the feet of Movsisyan who poked home from close range.
MINN – Bobby Shuttleworth, 4th minute: An early chance from RSL's Jefferson Savarino forced the United goalkeeper into an early save, diving low to his left to deny the Venezuelan's first-time shot from 20 yards.
MINN – Bobby Shuttleworth, 24th minute: Good interchanging play for RSL near the top of the area allowed striker Luis Silva to hit a shot from just inside the area forcing Shuttleworth into a fine diving save to concede a corner.
MINN – Sam Cronin, 25th minute: RSL striker Luis Silva found himself alone in the area after receiving a ball from Joao Plata. Silva beat the Minnesota goalkeeper for a chance at an open net but Cronin did well to time his sliding tackle to knock the ball away.
MINN – Bobby Shuttleworth, 76th minute: A deflected pass inside the box saw the ball fall to RSL striker Joao Plata 18 yards from goal. Plata elected to chest back to RSL midfielder Luke Mulholland as he rifled a volley towards the far post but Shuttleworth did well to tip the shot over the bar.
- RSL men Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon, Danilo Acosta and Sebastian Saucedo all returned from the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Glad, Lennon and Acosta all started the match while Saucedo entered as a second half substitute.
- Glad made his first appearance of the season for RSL after leaving for international duty and battling injuries to delay his 2017 debut.
- Goalkeeper Nick Rimando also made his return to the starting XI after missing time with the club for being with the USMNT during World Cup Qualifying, celebrating his 38th birthday on Saturday, as well.
- RSL netminder Nick Rimando recorded shutout number 133 to add to his building career total.
- RSL registered 29 total shots against Minnesota, a season high.

The design or finish on the exterior of any ring is vulnerable to scratching and wear over any period of time, especially sterling silver. If you are concerned about wear, consider purchasing a ring with the fingerprint on the interior.
All of the metals scratch and dent; exterior high polish or brushed finish can be refreshed with polishing or brushing.

We stamp our Maker's Mark and Quality Stamp on all rings–these stamps are not placed on the fingerprint.
Due to the handmade nature of our rings, widths are approximate.

Day 2, Mile 29 - 59
30 May - 30 miles (50 km) - 1000 ft (300 m) total altitude loss with a lot of ups and downs to get here. Route began with a gravel trail not really suited for a loaded touring bicycle. This was followed by twenty miles of "gently rolling hills" - not really. Not nearly the amount of climbing as yesterday, but I was clearly not recovered from that ride.
Plan was to get as close as possible to Pueblo and I guess that is what I did, although I planned to be a bit closer. Tomorrow's profile looks a little different, downhill with none of the whoopdee doo's of today's ride.

"It was late at night, around midnight, and I was getting up to go to bed when I stepped in something wet. I looked down and saw that it was cat throw up. I was totally grossed out. I had stepped in cat puke! And, even worse, I knew that it had to be cleaned up.
My first thought was, 'I better go get Mom so she can clean this up right now.'
But then I had a another thought.'You know, I wouldn't like to be awakened from sleep to clean up a mess that someone else found. I bet Mom won't like it either. I think I will clean it up myself, since I'm the one who found it.'"
Can I get an "Amen"?
There are times when you wonder, as a parent, whether your children are getting it. You pour it and pour it, but it doesn't seem to soak in.
Personal responsibility. Owning your actions. Going above and beyond what is required of you. Doing what needs to be done. Helping out when you can. Being kind to others. And on and on it goes. The lessons to teach and to learn are endless.
Then one day your teenager cleans up a hairball by himself and suddenly you know: it's not all going to waste. It's not out of my mouth and over his head. Real change is slowly, but surely happening. Maturity is taking place.
I'll turn around in a few days and Caleb will be graduating high school, then college, and then moving on with his life. And thanks to the midnight hairball, I know now that he will be okay. He can already cook a few simple things. He can load and unload a dishwasher. And he can even clean up something extremely gross when he steps in it. He will make it in this world.
I have never been so excited to hear that the cat threw up.

Good luck with the long vowels. I wouldn't even know where to start! :)
Hello! I enjoyed reading your CURRENTLY post and am envious of your May last day! We go until June 6th! I hear you on how our school day usually starts and ends WAY earlier and later than the "posted" schedule. There is always something to prep, copy, put away, and plan, isn't there!ReplyDelete
I love your Instagram slide show! Very snazzy! I am your newest follower!
Jennifer, you are right we started in early August, while everyone else was still enjoying summer break. LOLDelete
As for the Instagram slide show... thank you! It is a widget. YOu could get one for your blog too. Just go here: http://snapwidget.com/#getstarted
I loved seeing that you are done so early! I can't imagine when you must have started. I love your slide show, would love to know how you add that. Would be fun to show what is happening in my science classroom. I also love your side bar additions. Can't wait to stop back and check out the fun and look at older posts:)ReplyDelete
