Nevada Divorce Trends
As divorces mount nation-wide and records of these failed unions piles higher and higher in local courthouses, the growing desire of people to access these records also climbs. As much as we many not want to admit it, there's no denying that with as many as 35% of Americans now divorced at least once in their lives, your partner has a one in three chance of being among that group, whether they'll admit it or not.
In Nevada, divorce records fall under the jurisdiction of the state and county authorities. These divorce records are categorized as public records, meaning that anyone can view them so long as they comply with the required procedures. You can now obtain information such as marital status, names, time and place of divorce, cause of divorce, alimony, restraining orders and child custody. You can even find details on Las Vegas divorce law specifically. Of course, this sort of information is invaluable for background checks by dates, or even prospective employers.
Previously, it was a hassle to search Nevada divorce records as it meant huge amounts of red-tape and administration. However, online public record directories have made the search for information in divorce records both easier and faster. There are many online directories to search Nevada divorce records such as the county registry.
There is no longer a need to fill in various forms and applications to the different government agencies. However, with the number of online divorce record directories available, choosing a credible and well-regarded website which ensures your privacy and confidentiality is of utmost importance. This is because divorce records are often regarded as a sensitive issue, and any misinformation can usually lead to unthinkable consequences.
For those who still firmly believe that you should dance with the one you brought, you may have no desire to be the backup dancer when someone decides they don't like their partner's dancing.
Luckily there is an easier way than waiting at those lucky courthouses for an aide to dig through the thousands of divorce records in the hopes of stumbling upon what you're looking for. You can search Nevada divorce records online now, and see just how good or bad a dancer and partner it is that you're dealing with.
NV divorce records are public documents, allowing for their collection and legal display in any number of online databases, of which a few exist, but only a few get right.
A good site for Nevada divorce records is your country registry. They house an exhaustive database of over 150 million public records, all well organized and maintaining, giving you the only stop you'll need on your NV divorce records search.
Simply enter the information you're able to provide into the search boxes and you'll be moments away from accessing detailed divorce records, the exact same ones held by the courthouses themselves. Doing so just may save someone stepping on your toes on the dance floor.

What is a 3 EMI Holiday?
Whenever someone takes up a Home Loan, a large chunk of their savings ends up being used for things like registration, stamp duty, and the down payment. The rest of it goes into paying the EMI. And this is an expense that takes a toll on the borrower's finances for some time.
Bajaj Finserv's 3 EMI Holiday facility gives borrowers a 3 month resting period, which allows them to conveniently figure out their finances and cushion their loan expenses for a short period of time. This way you can get comfortable with your cash flow before you actually start paying back the loan that you're taken.
What is a 3 EMI Holiday Calculator?
A 3 EMI Holiday Calculator helps you get an idea of how much your revised EMI would be after the 3 month breather period gets over. You just have to feed in basic loan details like tenure, principal, and rate of interest.
How do you use a 3 EMI Holiday Calculator?
The 3 EMI Holiday calculator has been designed to be used by anyone and everyone. You don't need to know any math or any complicated formulas, the calculator just needs your loan details. You'll have to be ready with your principal amount, the tenure of your loan, the rate of interest, and month and year of disbursal.
Once you do that, the calculator will provide you with the following details -
- Month and year from which your loan will start
- The EMI amount to be paid each month

GRUNDI, I couldn't help chuckling at your recent appeal for fantastic photographs.
But it got me to thinking that possibly the reason there will never be an award-winning photographer from around here is the lack of award-winning subject matter?
Everything around us is vandalised, boarded up, grey and miserable. Maybe you ought to run a 'worst hole in Worksop competition'.

I'm not having that! We have some of the most stunning scenery, wildlife and architecture in England. Just look for it!

There's been a lot of talk recently (on the air, online and at the local bars) about how LeBron isn't clutch. He's had a pretty shitty road trip in the clutch department (he has been averaging something like 34-8-8, so this criticism is kinda nit picking). Even the The Sports Guy took a mailbag question and brought up Kobe airballing in the 97 Jazz Series.
He missed a game tying free throw and the game winning shot in LA and he missed another tying free throw in Denver and passed the last shot to Sasha Pavlovic.
And with Melo hitting a few big shots lately and Kobe seemingly doing it nightly, there's a ton of talk of LeBron either having the marbles or the fortitude or whatever in the closing seconds.
So far? Ya, I can see the point. But I've heard people talk about how he'll never be clutch or how some people have it and some people don't. This my friends, is bullshit.
I think the game winning shot is what LeBron missed the most out of skipping college. Overall, LeBrons game is far supierors to Melo, however, Melo went through a NCAA Tournament. Pressure packed games, win or go home, buzzer beaters. The Fuckin Tourney.
LeBron missed this experience. Lord knows what LeBron could've done in college. He obviously didn't need college ball for the most part. But I think missing the pressure of the tourney may have stunted his late game growth a little bit.
I was watching a little documentary on Magic and Bird's 1979 NCAA title game, how it set the stage for their NBA careers. Both Magic and Bird talked about how they were at the top of their games and how that season was a product of their previous college years. They both emphasised that they and their teams had to "learn how to win." Magic especially talked about how Michigan State fell short the season before, and they had to learn how to close out teams.
Both Magic and Bird played on the big stage in college. Jordan hit a game winning shot in college. Melo played on the big stage as well. NCAA Championship games, tournament runs, this helped them.
People forget before the Lakers won, Kobe airballed some huge potential game winning shots versus Utah. He had to learn too (and the learning accelerates with Shaq as your teammate and Phil Jackson as your coach- not that I'm not fans of Z and coach Brown, they just aren't Hall of Famers).
So my point is this. Do I think LeBron needs to step up more in the clutch? Yes. Do I think its a huge deal right now? No. It's a tough time in the year right now, a losing streak on a west coast trip. And lets not forget that the Cavaliers starting two guard and power forward are out. Oh, and neither point guard can shoot. Not the defensive pass first pg (Snow) nor the 'shooter' (Jones). So its a rough patch.
At the same time, LeBron is younger than me. He just turned 21. I'm pretty sure Bird, Magic and Jordan were still in college. The Cavaliers and LeBron are still learning how to win, and it takes time. Think about the playoffs.
The Pistons lost to the Celtics for years before breaking through. Bulls were the same to the Pistons. These things take time. Winning is learned. Closing out games/teams is a learning curve.
The Cavs and LeBron are light years away from where they were 2 years ago. They still have dead weight (Newble, Jones, Snow kinda, Gooden kinda). Fans want LeBron to bring the championship rings yesterday. The Cavs have gone from complete shit, to mediocre to above average in 3 years. Thats pretty good.
So I wouldn't worry about LeBron, though, if he's still missing free throws when hes old enough to rent a car (25) then I might start.

Soundstorm SSL Evolution EV4.1600

Review of "Soundstorm SSL Evolution EV4.1600"
"Easy install an set up of the ev4.1600"
Ive had plenty of different amps, speakers and headunits and spent way to much on all of them and sometimes have been disapointed for how much they cost and what little they offer. But this ticks all the boxes especially for the price.At first glance the thing that stands out is the sleek stylish brushed aluminium housing of the amp , and when you pick the thing up it feels really well made and has a good weighty feel to it which to me also gives the feel that its made well .
the connections for the speakers and power cables are all on the same side which makes it easy for when wiring up the speakers and power cables .
on the other side of the amp you have got the 2 RCA connections for front and rear/sub. on the same side you also have inputs if you don't have any RCA outputs from your head unit.
On the side of the RCA connections are the level settings . you have the input sensitivity level changer dependent on the voltage coming from the head unit (usually 2-4 volts). You've got the gain level . with this you can change how much the amp will amplify the signal, this is useful if the speakers wired to the amp cant take the full power the amp has to deliver it can be turned down so that you are unlikely to damage the speakers by overloading them.
you've then also got a switch to switch between high /low pass and full mode.
The high and low pass option are only used for when you wire in a pair of speakers and a sub on the same pair of outputs . in this case the main speakers operate in stereo and the sub will operate in mono.If using this option its recommended that a high and low pass filter is used .
The full mode is used for when you want the full range frequency going to the speakers.
The instructions that come with the amp are a little vague in places regarding setting up the amp but a quick search on the net and you can find plenty of information to help you out. The instructions do have plenty of pictures and diagrams for easy wiring of different setups which helps a lot if you aren't to sure on how to wire your speakers up.
The part that gets a bit vague is when you need to know what to set everything to once you've got your system wired up .
At the back of the manual you have a troubleshooting list . so if your having a bit of trouble with your system this can be a great help . This is also quite detailed to help you sort the problem out if any .
so if your after a well built ,good powered amp then this is for you . For the price of the amp you cant go wrong . you could easily spend twice the amount on other amps and be disapointed with the power output and with little set up options .
Anything from a simple setup to a complicated one this can do it all .

What is Perkins Curriculum?
Our curriculum is designed to follow Ohio laws and Ohio Department of Education (ODE) rules and regulations that students graduate from high school both college and career ready.
In addition to Ohio stipulated content, our curriculum is designed to develop the skills needed to be successful in the 21st Century:
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Creativity
- Critical Thinking
MAP Testing
MAP Testing is an assessment given to Kindergarten - Grade 8 students in the fall, winter and spring which allows us to:
- Measure student growth from fall > spring > fall
- Observe both individual and district-wide student achievement so that curriculum and instruction can be adjusted to meet the needs of the students.
- Identify individual student strengths and areas that need improvement.
- Predict student performance on State and National tests.
MAP Testing is recognized by the Ohio Dept. of Education for use to meet state assessment requirements for all students including assessments for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee and identifying academically gifted students.
iEvolve with STEM
Ohio's new science learning standards differ from past standards by placing equal emphasis on science content and on investigation, critical thinking skills and writing.
Students at Meadowlawn School are engaged in real hands-on, minds-on work in science through a grant received by Bowling Green State University in partnership with Perkins Schools from the National Science Foundation. This program, referred to as "iEvolve with STEM", is one of only six Targeted Partnership projects in the nation funded by the National Science Foundation's Math-Science Partnership program in 2012!
iEvolve has provided extensive curriculum planning and teacher training. New materials, such as Full Option Science System (FOSS) science kits, have the students study science with a hands-on approach that encourages investigation of concepts in the Physical, Earth and Life sciences. Our students are developing observation skills, asked to draw inference and conclusions and then write about what they have seen and observed.
This coming school year the students will participate in investigative citizen-science, working with research scientists from the Toledo Zoo, Ohio State's Stone Laboratory and Bowling Green State University's Herpetology and Marine Labs on actual science projects. Students will continue their learning with the science curriculum and participation in research, but will also learn ways to share their discoveries – not only in our community but across the nation and even across the world!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Norman Conquest brought to England in 1066. The Facer family lived in Northampton. The name, however, derives from the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Vassy, Normandy. One of the first records of the name was Robertus Invesiatus, Lascivus which appeared in the Domesday Book [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) in Essex [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Reaney, P.H and R.M. Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames. London: Routledge, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-415-05737-X). Other records show the name was originally De Vesci, which was a baronial name, a branch of the De Burgh family.
Facer Early Origins
Northampton where Robert de Vassy (Veci) and his brother Ivo were granted nineteen Lordships in that county and overlapping into Warwick, Lincoln, and Leicester, by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Ivo (John) won the hand of Alda, daughter of Gilbert, Lord of Alnwick in Northumberland and the family claim considerable prominence as the Lords of Vesey from which Lords Fitzgerald and Vesei claim descent.
Facer Spelling Variations
Facer Spelling Variations
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Feasey, Feasy, Fessey, Fassey, Fessys, Fressis, Veasey, Vassey, Vassy, Vesci, Vezey, Vezay, Vesey, Vessey and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, traveling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Facer or a variant listed above:
Facer Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Contemporary Notables of the name Facer (post 1700)

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Sub hoc signo vinces
Motto Translation: Under this sign we shall conquer.

Welcomes to the site of the Philology and arts Institute! You've opened the door of an unusual house.
It has existed under this name not so long, but its walls have already stood the test of many decades!
Several departments of higher educational institutions, earlier known as Kazan State University and Tatar state university of humanities and education, amalgamated beneath the same roof of the Philology and arts Institution.
There used to be several changes and redesignations in the ample biography of both universities and their departments. But they always kept accomplishing tasks assigned. Nowadays students of all years of the newly established university are going on at a stretch at its five faculties to a coveted diploma of higher education. These faculties are of: Russian, Tatar, Romance and Germanic philology, Translation and Cross-cultural communication, Arts. Our students graduating from university become specialists in philology, translation, fine arts, design, music and choreography.
The Institution is one of the biggest divisions in Kazan Federal University. There are more than 4thousand students, scores of experienced professors, hundreds of teaching and other fellows; modern buildings in the centre of Kazan, meeting the latest standards. Student years passed in our institution fill the life of the young men with new knowledge and impressions, teach them to think creatively, advance steadily.
On the site you can find all necessary information about the philology and arts institution. You can address as well your questions to me, Director of the institution, through the internet-reception.

BACTEC Intrusive Survey System
BACTEC has developed the next generation of intrusive survey instrumentation for the situation where UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) may have penetrated to a depth beyond the detection capability of non-intrusive survey systems or the surface is grossly contaminated with ferrous objects limiting the effectiveness of a non-intrusive system.
BACTEC's BXP system has been developed to rapidly and accurately locate buried ferrous objects which could potentially be unexploded ordnance (UXO).
BACTEC's BXP system has the following features:
- Flexible Application. The system can be introduced into the ground from a wide variety of platforms e.g. via a wheeled or tracked rig, jack up barge, rail or in special circumstances by pre-drilling and lining holes and lowering the instrument by hand.
- Rapid and Cost effective Data Capture. The system employs a specially developed sensor, which is configured to survey a column of ground as it is vertically introduced. The system can quickly and effectively record the vertical depth of a magnetic anomaly, its horizontal distance from the probe and theoretical modelled mass.
- Flexible Data Interpretation BACTEC's proprietary bespoke software system is specifically configured for deep UXO detection. Algorithms have been written which analyse the data and produce tailored outputs for clients allowing historically difficult sites to be surveyed by filtering out the ambient magnetic signature.
The intrusive survey technique can be used to provide specific clearance of geotechnical and geo-environmental boreholes, individual piles and pile groups or can be deployed in a matrix pattern for general area clearance.
If the client has a requirement for both geo technical information as well as clearance for deep buried ordnance, BACTEC can deploy its combined magnetometer and CPT (Cone Penetration Test) cone to provide these two data sets as a single operation.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Upon discovery of any suspected UXO, BACTEC's specialist EOD team can be on hand to carry out a full UXO risk assessment and professionally dispose of the ordnance in the safest possible way.
BACTEC also offer non-intrusive surveys for UXO detection, visit our non-intrusive surveys page to find out more.

Suspect accused of killing man who was gardening appears in court
Updated 11:38 am, Wednesday, November 30, 2016
A 18-year-old charged with capital murder appeared in court Wednesday, accused of gunning down a man who was tending the garden behind his home in north Houston.
Philip Battles remains in the Harris County jail without bail after appearing before a magistrate judge.
Battles is accused of shooting Ignacio Ortega, 62, in an alleyway in the 15000 block of Buckle Lane about 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 7.
Assistant Harris County District Attorney Joshua Phanco said Ortega was working in a garden behind his home when a witness saw a man wearing a black hoodie walking toward the alleyway.
Several gunshots were heard, and the suspect, who was later identified as Battles, was seen fleeing.
Battles, in an orange jail uniform, did not speak at the initial appearance except to request a court-appointed attorney.

The only people who dream about asking a builder for a VAT bill in Spain are people who have never been, or have tried it and scarpered back home as soon as they found the country wasn't for them.
So far, nothing black from me. Both architects I interviewed were insistent that everything be legal.
The only time I would consider 'black' is if I see someone in the street, obviously starving or struggling and I have work that can be done by them. I will pay whatever the legal rate is, but obviously they have no capacity to register, pay VAT, etc.

A body that does not get enough of exercise cannot burn the extra calories. This extra fat settles around the waist and gradually increases.
2. Sleep Deprivation:
We all have work to do and the same twenty-four hours to complete it. It all depends on how we do it.
If you are one of those who deprive yourself of sleep then you are also attracting belly fat. When you are sleep deprived, your level of cortisol, the stress hormone, increases.
This makes you crave for sugary food substances. And sugar, we all know, is not good for the waistline.
3. Carbonated Drinks:
If you are one of those who guzzles down on carbonated drinks on a regular basis, then belly fat will not be a surprise for you.
All carbonated drinks are stuffed with sugar. The diet ones are no better either, as they contain supplements. This is one of the 10 bad habits that give you belly fat that is most common among today's youngsters.
When thirsty, go for water and as far as possible avoid carbonated drinks.
4. Late Night Dinners:
Your food needs time to digest. For this to happen, you need to have your dinner at least one hour before bedtime, although the ideal time would be two hours.
And as a rule, do not have desserts after dinner. All the sugar will settle down comfortably around your mid-section, giving you the annoying and difficult-to-shed belly fat.
5. Insufficient Protein:
A healthy adult requires a minimum of 20-25 grams of protein in each meal. Protein helps balance blood sugar, reduces insulin level and boosts the body's metabolic rate.
Protein also helps control the hormone that causes an increase in appetite.
6. Low-fat Food:
Low-fat food does not mean you are not susceptible to accumulating fat. In fact, the myth that foods high on fat make you fat is also wrong.
What you need to have is the right kind of fat. Monounsaturated fats like olive oil, seeds and nuts can help you eliminate fat. If you want to know these habits that make your belly fat accumulate, you need to get your basic concepts clear too.
7. Emotional Eating:
Do you tend to grab food when you are too sad or too happy? This is called emotional eating, and one of the very bad habits that can lead to a broad waistline.
Emotional eating might be a habit difficult enough to get rid of, but you need to do this consciously.
8. Large Plates:
Large plates mean large amount of food. You get more space to pile up food; and that means, you end up eating more than you were supposed to be eating.
Try to go for a small or medium-sized plate. You will not only be taking less food on your plate, but will also avoid going for repeated serving.
9. Skipping Meals:
If you feel that you are putting on too much weight and skipping meals will help you lose, then you are highly mistaken. On the contrary, you will end up eating much more than you normally do.
This is again one of the 10 bad habits that give you belly fat with you not realizing it. Instead of skipping meals, have something healthy every two hours once.
10. Taking Large Bites:
This is not only a bad habit that gives you belly fat, but also a bad eating habit that you must avoid. Make sure you take small bites and chew your every bite properly.
When you take large bites, you finish your food faster and tend to reach out for repeated servings. Avoid this habit and get the most out of every morsel that you consume. You will not only be keeping belly fat at bay, but will also be getting all the benefit of your food.

Dust control equipment market slows but faces boost under IPPC
Growth in the market for dust extraction and particulate control has slowed nearly to a standstill but is poised to resume under the new integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) regime, according to a new report. 1 Weak enforcement of legislation has hindered growth and may continue to do so.

Sort files globally?
Is there anyway to sort files globally? It seems everytime I open or close a folder, it re-sorts it to another criteria from when I last set it.
For instance, I'll pick "ascending" and close the folder. Then when I come back to it later, it automatically switches to "descending" on it's own.
I'm really getting tired of having to right-mouse click the contents of a folder all the time to correct this.
Any way to solve it? Thanks.

If your settings are not being saved then something else is wrong.
Quite a few people have problems with Windows 7 not saving folder settings, and I don't know of any "universal fix". I will have a look in my notes and see if I can find any "general tips" for that.........

As far as I am aware, you can't change settings for individual folders in a library, but you can set the library default folder settings. You need to have a read through this;
Inside Windows 7:Introducing Libraries
Also you may need to reset your folder view settings.

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has encountered this. I've tried to reset the folders options through Control Panel and it works for a time but then the settings revert back to the way Windows wants to handle them, not the way I want to handle them.
And another thing that helps a little bit is to avoid the libraries altogether and just create a folder directly off the desktop for videos, pictures, documents, etc... It's not ideal. I still have to re-sort them even there, regardless. It just doesn't seem to lock them down.
I don't remember XP doing this kind of re-sorting on it's own. I think TOO MANY options are in play here.

You might like to try this;
Welcome to Classic Shell
I don't use libraries personally,
and I store all my files on a separate data disc(s). This program, ( Classic Explorer, part of the main program although you can use it separately if you wish, but I also use the Classic Menu), retains the settings. Don't ask me why it works when Explorer itself keeps losing settings. I don't know, but I'm happy that it does work.
Indeed, this might interest you as well, saves an awful lot of messing about;
QTTabbar and Classic Shell
Classic Shell Add On Buttons
The whole thing looks like this, ( although I use slightly different setups on various machines/systems;
Extremely versatile and comfortable.

THIS IS BULL$#*%!!! im SO sick and TIRED of m$' B$!! i have a pc that's probably as fast or faster than almost 80% of the pcs in use now, and i can't effin USE IT!
i've tried EVERYTHING (from): disabling 'open explorer windows in seperate process' to resetting all folders to disabling auto-arrange to even disabling full-row select!
it even affects my desktop!!
i finally just had to select the better of *multiple* evils (the LEAST annoying folder view for ALL folders -- from documents and downloads to pictures and music) and applied to all folders (at least THAT "worked" ).
i can't even sort, then resort and have things sorted by name THEN type THEN (finally) date!!! sad thing is: it wasn't always like this for me!! i mustve hit that arbitrary limit m$ imposes on us users who use explorer frequently (i think i read it was a thousand explorer views/opens)... and i THOUGH i tried a registry hack (batch file) for THAT! :S
somebody else from another site's forum summed it up pretty darn well:
"It seems [Micro$haft] is aiming to stop customers from doing what they want. This is how the company operates. When it finds customers want something it gives them something else. No start button [or an easily-accessible DESKTOP] in Windows 8, what stupidity."
all i've got to say is... FSCK m$!!!
btw, sevenforums... its REALLY annoying having to retype a post cause your site doesnt always load pages/accept requests > : ( and WHY are you guys using MICRO$HAFT'S *FUGLY* emoticons?!? :\

General Electric and the cable giant Comcast have moved closer to a deal giving control of NBC Universal to Comcast, and a formal announcement could be made sometime next week, people briefed on the talks said Sunday.
Negotiations are winding down for the sale of NBC
Advertisement - story continues below
After a series of meetings last week, the two companies reached a tentative agreement on Friday over the main points of a deal, these people said. Comcast would own about 51 percent of NBC Universal, contributing several billions of dollars in cash and its own stable of cable networks to the new venture.
G.E., which currently owns 80 percent of the entertainment company, would retain the other 49 percent and would contribute about $12 billion in debt to the new entity, though it is expected eventually to sell its ownership interest over several years.

A neighborhoods group is accusing Palo Alto officials of twisting a city law to help a prominent developer expand the historic but oversized University Art building.
The law's purpose is to prevent oversized downtown buildings from getting bigger.
Developer Roxy Rapp's proposal to enlarge his four-story commercial building at 261 Hamilton Ave., across the street from City Hall, goes to the City Council on Monday.
Rapp wants to construct a three-story addition behind the building and convert 6,305 square feet of basement space mostly used for storage to an underground parking garage that would accommodate nine vehicles and up to 15 bicycles.
He is asking the city to no longer consider the basement "legitimate floor area" so he can count that space toward the back addition of almost 6,000 square feet.
The building now has ground-floor retail space with offices in the two levels above, but its back drops to just one story. Under Rapp's proposal, the rear section would be demolished and replaced with the three-story addition.
In a memo for Monday's council meeting, city staff says the change wouldn't violate a city law that grandfathered in oversized structures built before zoning changes in the 1970s and 1980s that reduced the size of downtown buildings — as long as the change doesn't increase the building's overall size.
"The footprint of the building would not change," city spokeswoman Claudia Keith wrote in an email Thursday.
Jeff Levinsky, a member of the Palo Alto Neighborhoods coalition of residents who oppose the change, said staff is ignoring city code to favor Rapp.
"The law is very simple. It says when you have a building that's already over the limit you can't continue to expand it," Levinsky said Thursday.
The basement was used for storage but the new three-story wing will be offices filled with workers who are going to make the city's "crisis-level" parking situation worse, Levinsky said.
And with office buildings selling for roughly $1,000 a square foot, the expansion would essentially amount to a city giveaway worth millions of dollars to the developer, according to Palo Alto Neighborhoods.
The Palo Alto municipal code that regulates grandfathered facilities states that the buildings can be improved as long as changes don't "result in increased floor area; shall not shift the building footprint; shall not result in an increase of the height, length, building envelope, or any other increase in the size of the improvement; (and) shall not increase the degree of noncompliance."
The staff memo acknowledges that one way to interpret the code is that "the addition of the above-ground square footage is not currently there and so cannot be permitted."
But an alternative interpretation could be that the addition won't increase the building's square footage or footprint because the proposed renovation wouldn't take up any more of the site area than the current building.
"The building's height and length are also not increasing … because the building would be no taller, wider or longer than the current structure," the staff memo states.
Then there's the question of whether the improvements would change the so-called building envelope. Staff is using a definition based on the "buildable area," which is not changing, Keith said.
That analysis has left the neighbor's group puzzled.
"The volume and mass of the building, everybody agrees that's increasing," Levinsky said. "The city just doesn't want to enforce the law."
The council also is scheduled to consider Rapp's request to approve some rehabilitation work on the building to upgrade its historical designation. On April 16, 2014, the city's Historic Resources Board unanimously backed the request.
The building is the second largest Spanish Colonial Revival building in Palo Alto, after the President Hotel on University Avenue. It was designed in 1927 by Birge Clark, generally considered Palo Alto's most important historic architect, according to the staff memo.

Climate change impacts are being felt across the globe as sea levels rise, tropical storms smash into coastlines, once-fertile lands battle with floods or drought and permafrost in the polar regions melts. Although Africa contributes relatively little to global warming, the region is suffering from its effects.
Over 180 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die as a result of climate change by the end of the century. Unpredictable rainfall patterns, lower crop yields, soaring food prices and dwindling natural resources are already causing increased human migration, tension and conflict.
South Africa can influence the battle against climate change, being an active member of the African Union, a vocal member of the G77, and one of the four developing countries poised to become a southern engine of global economic growth.
Its powerful combination of strong international leadership, progressive thinking and forward-looking policies are reflected in its calls for dramatic cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and for mechanisms to help vulnerable countries adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Catastrophic climate change and uncontrollable debt are burdens South Africans will have to bear for their government's addiction to coal. On top of the escalating construction costs for Kusile, the monstrous coal-fired power plant, the country will have to pay up to R60.6 billion per year for the external costs associated with it.
Eskom should stop construction at Kusile and invest in renewable energy solutions, which guarantee thousands of new jobs, while there is still time. The true cost of building this power station is much more than South Africans can afford to pay.
The ground-breaking report, Powering the Future: Renewable Energy Roll-out in South Africa, debunks important myths about renewable energy generation; offers solutions to the barriers to its deployment; and presents success stories from across the globe.
South Africa can and should champion a renewable energy future, one in which we see increased access to cheap electricity, thousands of new jobs and the democratisation of energy production. An Energy [R]evolution is possible if our leaders are willing to champion the cause.
South Africa can create around 150 000 new jobs in the energy sector in the next 20 years, and at the same time safeguard against catastrophic climate change -- according to Greenpeace's 'Advanced Energy [R]evolution' report.
The report shows that renewable energy is mature, ready for implementation, and can be deployed on a large scale. It means that as renewable energy is scaled up, we can start phasing out coal, an energy source incompatible with the goal of avoiding runaway climate change.

IT MAY seem ridiculous, but in the hunt for sources of alternative energy researchers have come up with fuel cells which are powered by cheese—or at least whey, a by-product in cheese making. Usually fuel cells run on hydrogen, but the aim of the research is to allow factories to recover energy from waste products like whey by converting organic materials directly into electricity.
Whey is rich in lactose, a sugar which Georgia Antonopoulou, a biochemical engineer at the University of Patras, Greece, says can be consumed by cultures of bacteria contained within a fuel cell in order to generate an electric current. Microbial fuel cells, as they are known, are not a new idea but only in the past few years have they attracted attention as a way of both dealing with raw waste water and generating electricity at the same time.
The organic content of whey can pose an environmental hazard and many governments now impose strict regulations requiring factories to pay for its treatment before disposal. Whey constitutes about 70% of the volume of the milk used to make cheese, says Dr Antonopoulou. So, just one small feta facility will need to dispose of as much as 4,000 tonnes of whey in a single year, she says. Microbial fuel cells could help, and not just in the cheese-making industry. Breweries, pig farms, food-processing plants and even works dealing with domestic sewage could gain from the technology.
Traditional fuel cells work by using a catalytic material to oxidise a fuel, such as hydrogen, turning it into a positively charged ion and a negative electron. The positive ions are drawn to a second electrode, via a membrane or electrolyte that will not allow electrons to pass through. This forces the freed electrons to travel to the second electrode through a wire, creating an electric current.
Microbial fuel cells function in much the same way except that the catalytic reactions are carried out by bacteria contained within the fuel-cell chamber. Under anaerobic conditions (where oxygen is absent) they metabolise the fuel by feeding off it and in doing so produce natural chemical reactions that cause ions to be released, allowing a current to flow.
In theory microbial fuel cells can run on just about any kind of organic matter, says Chris Melhuish, head of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, England. "All you have to do is match the microbial culture with the type of stuff you want to use as fuel," he says. Dr Melhuish has spent some years trying to power robots on domestic waste water, but getting it right can be tricky. Ideally you would want to use cheap and nasty raw-waste products, he says. But traditionally the fuel cells work best when fed a refined fuel in the form of solutions containing synthetic sugars, such as glucose.
However, Dr Antonopoulouhas now shown that, using a culture of bacteria obtained from her local waste water plant, it is possible to get almost as much power from raw whey as from refined fuel, provided the whey is diluted. The trouble is the power output still only amounts to milliwatts, barely enough to trickle-charge a cellphone. And working with raw waste water also presents challenges.
Initially Dr Antonopoulou and her colleagues found that the coulombic efficiency of their cells—a measure of how many electrons produced actually flow into a circuit—was particularly low, at around just 2%. This turned out to be because a second set of microbes, within the whey itself, was absorbing them. So, by sterilising the whey first to kill these other bugs they have now boosted the coulombic efficiency to around 25%. And they say that the total power of the device should improve further with a new design within the fuel chamber that increases the surface area of the electrodes.
One of the biggest obstacles is a lack of investment to develop materials that would work with this kind of fuel cell. As things stand, researchers like Dr Antononpoulou and Dr Melhuish have to use electrodes designed with traditional fuel cells in mind. If the various hurdles can be overcome and the technology can be scaled up to industrial levels, then there is the potential for microbial fuel cells to start generating as much power as the anaerobic digesters that are beginning to be used by industry to produce gas from waste material. Given time, then, the technology can only mature; just like a good cheese.
In the article "The whey to greener electricity" published in the Economist online on 17 May, it is reported that organic waste products can be used to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells. An example of such waste is whey, produced when making cheese.

Author Darnell Arnoult has earned critical acclaim for this debut novel, the story of a woman coming to terms with mental illness.
©2006 Darnell Arnoult; (P)2006 Recorded Books, LLC
"Arnoult's rhythmic prose beautifully reveals the human potential for unconditional love and faith." (Publishers Weekly)
"Arnoult bravely endows her formidable characters with charming candor and perceptive humanity in an elegiac yet hopeful tale of elegant strength, serene love, and infectious desire." (Booklist)
"Elizabeth G"
Sufficient Grace is an excellent book, full of different storylines that are masterfully written so they're never confusing. The recording performance is incredible. Loved this book!
"Loved this book!"
I really loved this story and the cast of funny, inspiring, diverse characters! I would highly recommend. And the narrator was simply great! Add this to your Audible wish list!
"the narrator "made" the book"
I enjoyed the book very much, but I think the narrator was perfect for it. Each character had their own voice, and the inflections were so good that I could easily picture the person speaking. I would highly recommend this one.
"graceful try"
Thought this book was fun and interesting but suddenly fell short at the end when things were beginning to evolve. Perhaps there will be a sequel or "the rest of the story."

You (Landon) have been involved with a number of different bands and genres, how did The Swinging Doors band come to life?
I grew up listening to classic country music, several members of my family are country musicians. I've played many styles of music over the years, but I really reconnected with my country roots in my mid-twenties. I dusted off some old Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash records and realized how much I loved this style of music, it was in my blood. Whenever I picked up a guitar it was always country music that came out.
I actually didn't set out to put a country band together, it sort of presented itself to me. I met Damien at an open jam session one night and we really hit it off musically. When we got together for a subsequent jam, he invited Pat (bass) and Martin (drums) who he had played with in a previous project. So from the very first session all the elements of the band were there, they just needed to be honed and developed.
You play traditional and classic country music, how do you select songs for your set list? How many songs do you typically play in a night?A full show for us consists of about 3 hour of music, given that classic country songs are quite short this works out to be between 40-50 songs. This seems like a lot for modern day, but this is pretty standard in a traditional setting. We play really classic well known songs, but the most important thing is that we all enjoy the material. That enjoyment is what comes through in our live show.
For The Swinging Doors, what is the most satisfying feeling you get during and after playing to a crowd?
I think what we do is a lost art form. We like to get dressed up and really provide a show for people. The majority of classic country music fans are from an older generation. I think its nostalgic for them to hear these songs again. I think they really appreciate young people giving this music the respect it deserves. If they are dancing, we are doing it right (haha). That means a lot to us.
What has been your most memorable show played to date? I have to ask since I saw your wall starting to fill up from show posters.
We have had a good run in just over one year as a band. We have played quite a variety of shows including bar gigs with a more rowdy, younger type crowd, to playing at some of the larger jamboree's (outdoor festivals) for a few hundred classic country music fans. It's all been quite memorable, and our calendar is already filling up for 2017 and It's shaping up to be another great year for us.
You guys have also experimented with your sound by incorporating a pedal steel player into your set, have you guys thought about adding any other elements?
The Swinging Doors have always consisted of the 4 core members, but we often highlight different people or instrumentation to add variety to our live show. I met Andy Schick, who is one of the best pedal steel players in the area, at one of the Jamborees this past summer. I invited him to one of our practices and we hit it off really well. Andy is a freelancer, but has been playing with us frequently ever since. It's a real pleasure to work with a guy of his calibre. His musicianship really takes the band to a new level.
Have you guys thought about writing any original material?
For now we are strictly a cover band. From the start we have just wanted to get our chops up and establish ourselves as a solid, working, classic country music band. I think we have achieved that pretty well this year. Originals are definitely not out of the question, we just haven't started to explore that territory as a band quite yet.
For everything online about The Swinging Doors what links can people check out?
The best place to find us is our website: www.theswingingdoorskingston.com . There you will find live show dates, biography, pictures/video, a sample set list, booking information and links to all our social media pages. Give us a like or a follow to keep up to date. Thanks Matt!

By J. Stephen Poor, Chair Emeritus, Seyfarth Shaw LLP
Five percent of Accenture's workforce is no longer human.
One of Accenture's managing directors, Michael Redding, shared that figure this month at a summit in New York on artificial intelligence. If five percent does not sound like much, note that, at Accenture, it equates to 20,000 full-time-equivalent positions.
These are not projected numbers. This is current state. This is the potential of A.I., and that potential is being tapped everywhere. Magellan Health, for example, utilizes a suite of programs – all under the banner of artificial intelligence – to handle a significant portion of its process for reviewing and approving requests for medical tests. Robot reporters are on the rise in journalism, including the Associated Press's announcement this year that an automated writing service will begin covering 10,000 minor league baseball games annually. As I wrote in October, semi-autonomous trucking was tested in Europe this year to great applause.
What do these and other professions know that the legal industry does not?
A lot, it seems. With a few notable exceptions, our industry appears to be stuck in its historic patterns. According to the recently released Wells Fargo report on law firm performance, productivity is down in the first nine months of 2016, while attorney hiring and rates are up, the latter by 3.6 percent.
Given recent associate salary increases, these trends put pressure on margins. Bloomberg interviewed Joe Mendola, senior director of sales at Wells Fargo Legal Specialty Group to learn more. I found this observation from Mendola most interesting:
Big Law Business: What was your most surprising finding?
Mendola: One of the things I've been struck with is that demand is stagnant, and the industry continues to grow their attorney staffing. So attorney staffing was up 2.2 percent. That's not a whole lot, but when you're not growing your demand, your work levels, you have to step back and say why? Essentially, there's more people and less work.
Certainly, firms continue to look at expense costs, like reducing space costs. For most firms, however, the obvious cost reduction measures have been taken over the last eight years.
In response to a flat market and rising expenses, the general response of the industry is to hire more lawyers and increase rates. This worked in the rising demand market of 2005. Perhaps firms are counting on an uptick in demand and a return to those days. Perhaps, with a radically different regime in Washington, regulatory change will even produce a short-term uptick.
Nevertheless, the nature of the industry has fundamentally changed since 2008. In a world of flat or declining demand for the services of Big Law, the reliance on rate increases to support profit growth is not a sustainable path for most firms.
So, what exactly is it that companies like Magellan Health, Accenture and others know that the legal industry does not? They know that, to compete and continue to survive, they cannot continue to operate in the same way. They know that it is essential to re-examine their business processes and continually redesign those processes to add value while removing cost. They know that current technologies can be a part of that redesign.
Take the example of Magellan Health. Magellan understood the need to redesign their process for reviewing and approving requests for medical tests. Their business problem included two variables: the need to reduce costs and eliminate unnecessary medical tests on the one hand, and the lack of tolerance for error on the other. Magellan used a combination of natural language processing, machine learning and predictive analytics. And, yes, they made a sizeable monetary investment (which, they assert, has produced a return on the investment).
I have previously written about Big Law's need to invest in emerging technology. Yet if our focus is solely on the long-term power of technology (which is indeed exciting), the industry runs the risk of continuing to defer the evolution of its business model while waiting for the next great thing.
But forget emerging technology for a moment. Big Law business is currently failing to use technology that is already available — technology that can make a significant difference in the way the industry operates.
And it's not so much about the power of today's technology, but rather the legal industry's ability to amplify the power of existing people with this technology.
Looking back at Magellan, their articulated goal was to make "average" doctors into "great" doctors and to make "great" doctors even better. They will tell you they achieved this goal. This meant more than simply buying computer applications. It meant understanding what makes a doctor great, the process involved, and the intersection between human intelligence and the augmentation that can be provided by machines.
A similar insight could drive the legal industry.
Do we need long-term investment into emerging technologies? Yes, we do. But other industries have applied existing technology to reduce cost and augment the work of people. Consulting and medical are but two examples. It is not an easy task to apply robotics and other automation techniques currently available to Big Law but personal experience and the experience of other industries show that it can be successful.
Simply raising rates and hiring more people on the hope for a change in the demand cycle is not a recipe for long-term success. Redesigning business processes to utilize existing technologies that can improve the work of current attorneys will provide a path for long-term success for those firms willing to walk it.

text: Tal.ki sees a 40% increase in website logins with Janrain Engage August 6, 2010 by Katie Keenan customer, integration, social login Our partner, Vincent Lauria of Tal.ki, contributed this post for today: We've been running on the Janrain platform for over half a year now. We use Janrain Engage to allow for social logins, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. When we first built our product, Tal.ki Embeddable Forums, we made the conscious decision to not build our own user login system, we wanted to go the third-party route, this had two advantages: Less development time to get to market A seamless experience for forums embedded across thousands of sites, no need to signup and create a new profile each time, just hop in and join the conversation. At first, we directly integrated with the social network providers and provided support for Facebook, Google, and Twitter. But we quickly learned that managing these providers required ongoing work to follow their ever-changing APIs (I'm looking at you Facebook). For a startup, that was taking significant resources. A colleague had mentioned Janrain. I was familiar with the company from their very early work & contributions in the OpenID space. After reading up on their documentation, we really liked the idea of supporting only *one* API and letting Janrain handle the rest, from evolving APIs to adding new providers. The decision was clear for us and we made the switch rapidly. We quickly became impressed with the features Janrain had to offer, like login analytics, and a dashboard to select and edit login network preferences. The ability to track daily logins has proved useful. It allows us to know where to focus our attention for pushing updates to a person's activity stream. And because we support Single Sign-On (SSO), we can also track the logins of third-party companies we partner with and see how their daily activity is improving. Some of our partners include Weebly, Bligoo, and Yola. We're now supporting more logins than we had ever planned, and that is important, for instance, when the Facebook privacy issue hit the mainstream news, we saw Facebook logins drop, and a handful of other logins picked up, that we wouldn't have previously supported. We have a second product line that doesn't have support for social login. Comparing the two services, I've noticed a few interesting things: More visitors signing in. When we switched to social login with Janrain, we saw the number of visitors who login increase by over 40%! Less time with our support team. Previously, we had over 30 people/day with login issues that needed to head to a support site. Now with Janrain, we have not had one support issue due to login, issues like forgotten passwords, incorrect emails, expired or conflicting cookies are a thing of the past. We're continuing to integrate more of the Janrain product line into our services, and in the past few months, I've had a number of colleagues tell me they're doing the same.
