Beaver Dam's Emerald Ash Borer Epicenter Identified
6/3/15 – The epicenter of the Emerald Ash Borer outbreak in Beaver Dam has been identified. The tree-killing beetle was confirmed in the city earlier this year. City Forester John Neumann says the true epicenter is in northeastern Beaver Dam along Liberty, Pleasant and Grove streets. No heavy infestations have been found outside that area. All the tree's identified, approximately two dozen, have been removed. Neumann says they will continue to monitor the area around the epicenter and take the trees as they develop signs of the ash borer. Trees on private land are a responsibility of the property owner. While the city tends to trees in the terrace – the area between the sidewalk and the street – some homeowners want those trees saved as well. Those property owners are responsible for paying the costs to treat the city-owned trees. Neumann says he is keeping a record of those trees so that the city does not accidentally remove them. Signs of the Emerald Ash Borer include increased woodpecker activity with the bird pecking away at the bark until the tree becomes almost white. That is easier to spot in the early spring but with more foliage on the trees at this point in the season, Neumann says to be on the lookout for a dying off of leaves at the crown and an increase in new branches in the lower half of the tree. The adult beetle will be pupating in the next two to three weeks and will be flying as much as a half-mile out through mid-to-late August before dying off. Ash trees represent around 23-percent of species on public property.
Two Killed In Oshkosh Plane Crash
6/3/15 – Two people were killed, after their small plane crashed at an Oshkosh Corporation plant site near Wittman Regional Airport. It happened around 3:20 Tuesday afternoon. Investigators from the F-A-A and the National Transportation Safety Board spent much of last night at the site. Media reports said a single-engine Sonex S-A fixed-wing aircraft was trying to land at a runway — but it ended up striking several nearby trucks parked at the Oshkosh north plant. It did not create a fire or explosions. The company said none of its employees were hurt.
Trooper Shooter Not Responsible For Nearby Bank Robbery
6/3/15 – The man who killed State Patrol Officer Trevor Casper in Fond du Lac was not responsible for a bank robbery about 500 yards away. The state Justice Department said Tuesday it did not believe that 38-year-old Steven Snyder of suburban Detroit was the suspect in the hold-up. It occurred March 24th at the Hometown Bank on Fond du Lac's west side, about an hour before Snyder and Casper were both killed in a shoot-out. Authorities said Snyder robbed another bank in Wausaukee the same day, stole a bank employee's vehicle, killed Thomas Chryst close to where he had a different getaway vehicle, and drove that car two hours south to Fond du Lac where the shoot-out occurred. The Justice Department has yet to release a full report of its investigation. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the Fond du Lac County D-A wanted it withheld, while that office investigates further. Media reports said Snyder committed several bank robberies in lower Michigan the past few years, and the F-B-I joined Michigan authorities in investigating Snyder not long before his Wisconsin crime spree. His estranged wife Stacey reported the prior bank robberies to authorities, but it's not clear when that happened. Snyder was also wanted for an alleged attack on his wife last Christmas Day in Michigan.
Watertown Man Sentenced In Teen Pregnancy
6/3/15 – A Watertown man will spend 75 days in jail with work release privileges for getting a teenager pregnant. In Dodge County court Tuesday, Patrick Berry pled to reduced misdemeanor charges of Fourth Degree Sexual Assault and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. According to the criminal complaint, the 37-year-old former Alabama man was staying with a "friend-of-a-friend" in Watertown in the summer of 2011 when he had consensual relations with a 15-year-old. Berry spoke with investigators by phone two years ago and admitted to the offense saying he would "do the right thing" by providing money and returning to Wisconsin when the victim reaches legal age for marriage.
Dodge County Sheriff's Department Attending Drone Demo
6/3/15 – The Dodge County Sheriff Department will be attending a drone demonstration on Wednesday to see if it's something that might be in the departments' future. Sheriff Dale Schmidt says the drones could be useful in search and rescue operations or manhunts for wanted fugitives. He says they would have to consider peoples' rights to privacy and what constitutes unreasonable searches. Schmidt says they may take a wait and see approach to drones, but the costs of purchasing them are on the way down. The drone demonstration is being held in Columbia County where their Sheriff's Department is looking seriously at purchasing a drone.
Beaver Dam Police Add Chaplain To Roster
6/3/15 – The Beaver Dam Police Department is adding a chaplain to their roster. Police Chief John Kreuziger told the city's Police and Fire Commission last night that the volunteer position is being filled by Pastor Mark Jensen from First Lutheran. The chaplain will assist officers as needed when notification is given to a family in the death of a loved one. Kreuziger says the chaplain will also assist police officers as they navigate through the difficulties of the job. Pastor Jensen has already had crisis training. Today he is touring the police department and learning more about their death notification process.
Horicon Goose Team Acts On Invoking Depredation Permit
6/3/15 -The Horicon Urban Goose Management Team gave the nod to invoking a depredation permit in the city for 2015 at its meeting Tuesday. The management team is a collection of officials and city representatives that are tasked with getting a handle on Horicon's non-migratory bird population each year. That stems from issues they've had with geese at a number of locations throughout the city in the past. Team Chair Joe Adamson says the committee started the process of relocating adult and euthanizing young non-migratory geese in 1999. He says it has made a noticeable difference in the city's waterside locations and parks. It's estimated that there are around 185 geese in residential areas and parks throughout Horicon this year. That's considerably higher than the estimate of 35 from last year, which was the fourth straight year the total was under 100 after having been over the century mark in 11 of the first 12 years of the committee's existence. Those numbers help explain why the team has invoked the permit in previous years. According to Adamson, all of the birds are put to use as adults are donated to food pantries and goslings are frozen to be used as feed at wild game preserves throughout the state. He says failure to control the population each year compounds it to a greater issue the following year. The Committee of the Whole and City Council will now take action on the recommendation at their meetings on Tuesday.
Columbus Council Approves State Reconstruction Agreements
6/3/15 – The Columbus City Council Tuesday night approved four project plans to be used in the four-year reconstruction of the main east/west route through the city, Highways 60 and 16. Major costs for the construction will be covered by state funds. Plans for downtown crosswalks and the entire James Street LED lighting project were unanimously adopted. A portion of the new street lighting costs will be paid by state "Community Sensitive Design" (CSD) funds. The state Department of Transportation 2017 plat plans were also approved. In addition, Columbus officials approved state and municipal agreements for the 2016 reconstruction of the intersection of State Highways 16 and 60 on the northwest side of Highway 151. State and municipal agreements on the Highway 151 on and off ramps over Highway's 16 and 60 were also given the go-ahead. The interchange ramps are tentatively scheduled for 2021.
Fox Lake Council Meeting Postponed Until Thursday
6/3/15 – Officials in Fox Lake are postponing tonight's (Wed) regular city council meeting until Thursday. The council typically meets on the first Wednesday of the month but there is not a quorum for tonight's meeting. The agenda includes a public hearing on changes to the city's fair housing ordinance and the hiring of a company for a new website. The council meets Thursday at 6:30pm in City Hall.
Federal Government's Records Collection Closer To Ending
6/3/15 – The U-S Senate took another step forward toward passing a revised plan to end the federal government's bulk collection of Americans' phone-calling records yesterday. The Senate took another procedural vote which passed 83-to-14. But House G-O-P leaders took issue with three amendments that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wanted to get through. In a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, the A-P said Jim Sensenbrenner of suburban Milwaukee reported called the amendments a "poison pill." One proposed Senate amendment would phase out the National Security Agency's collection of phone records over a 12-month period instead of six months. That's despite a claim from N-S-A director Mike Rogers that six months would be enough. Another amendment would require the national intelligence director to certify that the N-S-A can search records held by phone companies as part of terrorist investigations. Without an agreement, the N-S-A would have no authority at all to collect Americans' phone data. That's because a Patriot Act provision to that effect expired late Sunday night.

text: mikebse2a3 1022 Posted August 9, 2006 Well the babies are begining to make some sounds and it is impressive!!!! Since I'm waiting on the EV-Dx38 electronic crossover to arrive for full range sound I thought why not check the sound of the Jubilee Bass Horns out. The following is just with the Bass Sections Playing. Well I planned on using my Cary CAD-2A3i (2A3 Push/Pull Amplifier) for the Low Frequency Horns and was curious how well it would work as far as Hum and Noise as well as other factors considering the very high efficiency of the Jubilee. WHAT HUM/NOISE!!!! I'm pleased to say that with my ears at the mouth of the Bass Horns there was NO HUM or Noise of any kind!!![] I promised myself the First Sounds from the Jubilees was going to be Muddy Waters (folk singer) and Buddy Guy (Blues Singer) and I was really suprised at how high in frequency these Bass Horns can reach. Again Very Impressive!! especially if you have ever just listened to a Klipschorn's Bass Horn playing by itself. These Horns easily reach well above 1.25kHz very cleanly! So next I thought lets run some Test from the stereophile Test CD2. I played track 16 and 17 which is 1/3 octave warble tones from 20Hz to 2kHz. All I can say is WOW!!! the Jubilee can sure reach easily down to 31.5Hz with a (smoothness and strength) that I was not able to get out of the 79 Khorns in this room. The Center Image Focus when playing Left/Right Jubilees together was also much better than I was able to acheive with the 79Khorns again in this room. The Jubilee by Design is proving to me that IMHO it is going to be much more room friendly as well as taking better control over the rooms acoustical problems. At least in my situation this is already the case. Now I really can't wait to GET FULL RANGE SOUND OUT OF THESE BABIES!!!![] mike tn[] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A story, which may appropriately belong to the files of "urban legends," tells about a Philadelphia legal firm that sent flowers to an associate in Baltimore upon the opening of its new offices. Through some mix-up, the ribbon that bedecked the floral piece read, "Deepest Sympathy."
When the florist was informed of her mistake, she let out a cry of alarm. "Good grief! Then the flowers that went to the funeral said, "Congratulations on Your New Location"!
It is difficult enough to offer comfort without mixing up the sentiment. So difficult, in fact, that many people simply don't know what to say to someone who has just unburdened grief or emotional pain. Not unlike the new clergyman who, when a distressed young woman confided that she was pregnant, blurted out, "Are you sure it's yours?"
Too often, we want to help, but find that our attempts to offer comfort, solace or hope fall short of the mark. But there is something we CAN say to those who hurt that can be helpful and comforting.
One man, whose grandson died accidentally, found genuine comfort when he shared his pain with friends shortly after the tragedy. Of all the well-meaning words of support, two statements helped to sustain and comfort him through the grief more than the rest. They were: "Thank you for sharing your pain," and "I grieve with you." After hearing those words, he no longer felt alone in his suffering. He felt as if his friends embraced his grief. He felt better.
"Thank you for sharing your pain" is an honest acknowledgment of another's suffering. It also expresses an appreciation for the effort it takes a wounded soul to open her emotional wounds to others.
"I grieve with you" is an expression of empathy. It is a way of saying that I am willing to share some of your pain, even for a time.
We can't fix it. We shouldn't try to offer advice. And we may never know how someone feels who is hurting in a way we have never experienced. But we can give some comfort.
I think James Angell, former president of the University of Michigan, got it right when he was asked the secret of his success. "The secret of success?" he replied. "Grow antennae, not horns."

Surgeon Anno Diegeler completes a cardiac surgery using traditional methods, after the decision is made to switch from the use of a minimally invasive robotic technique at the Herzzentrum Heart Center, Leipzig, Germany. Visiting doctors watch surgeon Volkmar Falk perform a coronary artery bypass graft on a patient lying in the adjoining room, using a tele-manipulated surgical system (called a robotic system by some) designed by Intuitive Surgical Corporation of Mountainview, California, at the Herzzentrum, Leipzig, Germany.

The San Francisco City Center concluded their summer tour series on August 17th with a tour of Bloomberg Tech Hub by IwamotoScott Architecture, winner of the 2016 Work Medium Merit Award. The tour was led by firm principals Lisa Iwamoto and Craig Scott.
The office is in The Pacific Telephone Building, which was brought back to life starting in 2012 with a very well done restoration of the building's historic lobby, along with seismic and MEP upgrades. When Lisa and Craig first visited the space, it was completely dilapidated, having sat empty for years. But having seen what Yelp and Knoll were able to accomplish in the same building gave them high aspirations. They were able to achieve the sophisticated result that Bloomberg desired while keeping the raw materials of the existing shell exposed.
One word came to mind while walking through the space: exquisite. Every detail is refined, and every element well thought through. The design incorporated features of Bloomberg's Manhattan headquarters that the company has become known for: strong technology integration, a well-stocked pantry, and a dynamic fish tank. The entry lobby and pantry are defined by a series of sculpted wood beams, the form of which was inspired by the chevron shapes of the exterior facade that can be seen through the windows. This element leads to a multipurpose room outfitted with an impressive AV and sound system. A void that was originally intended to be for a communication stair between the two floors that Bloomberg occupies became a "light volume" wrapped with an LED display, and the fish tank was relocated to become a focal point beneath it. The furnishings bring a sense of warmth and comfort to the space, and felt cladding is thoughtfully used throughout to mitigate noise.
We would like to thank everyone who was able to join us, with a special thank you to Bloomberg and IwamotoScott for helping us organize this successful event.

Blakely 2004 A high-resolution gravity survey through the Tualatin Mountains (Portland Nills) west of downtown Portland exhibits evidence of faults previously identified from surface geologic and aeromagnetic mapping. The gravity survey was conducted in 1996 along the 4.5-km length of a twin-bore tunnel, then under construction and now providing light-rail service between downtown Portland and communities west of the Portland Hills. Gravitational attraction gradually increases from west to east inside the tunnel, which reflects the tunnel's location between low-density sedimentary deposits of the Tualatin basin to the west and high-density, mostly concealed Eocene basalt to the east. Superimposed on this gradient are several steplike anomalies that we interpret as evidence for faulted contacts between rocks of contrasting density. The largest of these anomalies occurs beneath Sylvan Creek, where a fault had previously been mapped inside the tunnel. Another occurs 1200 m from the west portal, at the approximate intersection of the tunnel with an aeromagnetic anomaly associated with the Sylvan fault (formerly called the Oatfield fault). Lithologic cross sections based on these gravity data show that the steplike anomalies are consistent with steeply dipping reverse faults, although strike-slip displacements also may be important. Three gravity lows correspond with topographic lows directly overhead and may reflect zones of shearing. Several moderate earthquakes (M ??? 3.5) occurred near the present-day location of the tunnel in 1991, suggesting that some of these faults or other faults in the Portland Hills fault zone are seismically active. application/pdf 10.1785/012003045 en Gravity study through the Tualatin Mountains, Oregon: Understanding crustal structure and earthquake hazards in the Portland urban area article

Wenny Teo is an art historian and curator. Originally from Singapore, she received a BA in History of Art and English Literature from the University of York, and a MA and PhD in History of Art from University College London. Her doctoral thesis, One World, One Dream: Contemporary Chinese Art and Spectacle examined the highly ambivalent relationship between contemporary Chinese art and spectacle from China's 'open door' reforms in 1978 to the historical watershed of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Her current book project builds on this body of research but centres on the new generation of contemporary Chinese artists born after 1978, particularly focusing on China's geopolitical rise and questions of labour, humour, boredom, diaspora, post-Internet and online visual culture. Prior to joining The Courtauld Institute of Art as the Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Asian Art, she worked in various curatorial roles in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai, and at Tate Modern, London and has continued to work on various curatorial projects internationally. In 2014 she was associate curator of We Have Never Participated – The 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennial, and in 2016 she co-curated A Beautiful Disorder, an exhibition of newly commissioned outdoor installations by contemporary Chinese artists at Cass Sculpture Foundation, Chichester. Her writing has been published in various academic journals, catalogue essays and art magazines. She has guest edited issues of the Journal of Art Historiography and the Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art and is on the editorial board of Oxford Art Journal.
Wenny would welcome PhD applications from candidates interested in pursuing research in East and Southeast Asian art, postcolonial and critical theory, identity politics, new media art, globalisation and global visual culture.

Sidekicks can steal the show – just ask the minions of Despicable Me, and now, belatedly, the Penguins of Madagascar, in their very own spy thriller!
The movie opens on a March of the Penguins-like origin story for this band of ragamuffins, and a documentary film crew (voiced brilliantly, in part, by Werner Herzog!) show them to be, let's say, more bumbling than brilliant. This proves true once they're grown as well – they escape the circus from the last movie but land themselves right in the hands of a nemesis they didn't know they had (John Malkovich), an old zoo-mate from their Central Park days. This nemesis, also known as "Dave", has it out for penguins in general and these ones in particular – their cuteness took the crowds away from his own zoo exhibit and he's been harbouring a grudge ever since. The penguins seem to be in a little over their heads but an agency called the North Wind (a wolf voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, a neurotic polar bear, a sarcastic seal, and a sexy snow owl) swoops in to take over the rescue operation.
The traditional animation isn't ground-breaking and the story's not exactly scintillating, but I can see how this will work for kids. It's full of fun visuals, simple puns, and wacky sight gags -"Melons, dead ahead!" It's very hard not to have fun watching this movie, and if you're a littlun all sugared up on snack bar, all the better – the pace is frenetic! I'm not sure it has much to keep adults captivated – too silly and earnest – but you should at least be able to sit through it with the kids. And if you're missing King Julien, then just sit through about half a Pitbull song (if there's a better musical representation for this empty-but-flashy animation, I don't know it) during the credits, and whoop, there he is.

Update August 2019
On August 22nd, the Austin City Council approved the zoning change for the United Christian Church to allow for the construction of a wireless tower. The neighborhood worked with UCC, Verizon and their representatives to negotiate several items to help minimize the visual impact.
The transmission tower will be a stealth monopole, limited to 100 feet in height. Unlike a typical wireless tower, the stealth pole looks similar to a flagpole, hiding the antenna within the pole. The agreement also limits the site to a single pole and requires UCC or their representative to notify the neighborhood of any future changes to the design of the tower.
We appreciate UCC's willingness to reach a compromise solution with the neighborhood.
Original information
At the end of January 2019 neighbors with property adjoining the United Christian Church that at 3500 W Parmer received a mailed notice the UCC had requested a zoning change to allow a Verizon cell phone tower — a 100 ft tall monopole and supporting equipment within 840 square feet — since the current zoning doesn't allow sufficient height.
The Permit/Case number is 2019-009809ZC; the case details are available at the City's zoning public search site (the home page for the public search is https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public-search-other?reset=true). The zoning case document (PDF) shows that the planned site is on the church property close to Parmer.
A number of nearby neighbors expressed concerns on both our Facebook group and on NextDoor. Our Zoning Chair emailed the church to asked the church for a meeting but never heard back from them. He also discussed the project with some of the concerned neighbors, but no formal action has been taken regarding the zoning change.
A public Zoning & Platting meeting will be scheduled; as of this writing (3/16/19) the date has not been set.
Neighborhood meeting with UCC
United Christian Church and representatives from Vincent Gerard & Associates have agreed to meet with the Northwood and Preston Oaks neighborhood to hear our concerns. The meeting will take place at United Christian Church on Thursday, May 16th at 6:30pm.
update: Hearings scheduled
Per a mailed notice received March 26 (hearing notice), the Zoning and Platting meeting has been rescheduled for
April 2 May 21 June 4. The case is scheduled for the May 21 ZAP meeting per a letter requesting delay in ZAP meeting. NextDoor will have the latest updates.

Flight Search
1. Have patience. One piece of conventional wisdom does maintain true: the final rule for how early to reach for a world flight is about three hours (for home flights, it is two hours, you probably have bags to test). A flydubai voucher might be issued much less an AED 200 fee per person, per flight plus any difference in the fare. Making a flydubai reserving is easy – you are able to do it online, over the cellphone, at a flydubai journey shop or although one of our appointed travel agents.
Whereas the stress altimeter is ready to equal the strain of the supposed airport, it is given the standard pressure setting in cruise, which is 29.ninety two inches of mercury (in.

As the man who has led the country since the collapse of white minority rule exits the political stage, Alnoor Amlani asks whether Zimbabwe can recover the lost years
This article was first published in the January 2018 Africa edition of Accounting and Business magazine.
As Zimbabwe emerges from 37 years of repressive rule under Robert Mugabe, I find myself reflecting on the suffering that was inflicted during those years and how Zim might be able to bounce back.
Zimbabweans value intelligence and education. Despite all the terrible acts and economic mismanagement that occurred during Mugabe's long time in office, he did invest in education – more than any other African leader in the region at the time. Indeed, he was seen as progressive, so much so that he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II (an honour that was however revoked later in his tenure when white farmers were evicted from their land).
Since the late 1990s, many successful scientists, researchers, academics and entrepreneurs, as well as qualified professionals (ACCA members among them), left Zimbabwe to live and work in neighbouring South Africa and Botswana, and further afield. Many of these Zimbabweans have been lying in wait for the opportunity to return and could quickly bring their valuable skills and efforts back to help rebuild the Zimbabwean economy now that Mugabe's dark shadow has been lifted.
Mugabe, who was prime minister from 1980 to 1987 and president from 1987 to 2017, was in denial about the effects of his policies and actions on greater Zimbabwe. He is famously quoted as saying, 'Our economy is a hundred times better than the average African economy. Outside South Africa, what country is [as good as] Zimbabwe? ... What is lacking now are goods on the shelves – that is all.'
At first sight, the new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, appears to have a more business-like outlook. One of his earliest acts after being sworn in was to offer a three-month moratorium to the end of February 2018 'to return illegally externalised funds and assets in order to avoid the pain and ignominy of being visited by the long arm of the law'.
As AB went to press, the situation in Zimbabwe was still rapidly evolving. The two major global foreign players that operate on the continent – China and the US – are likely to play a key role in what develops, and the rest of the global community will also play a part. Zimbabwe has a massive national debt, thought to run close to US$10bn currently. Mugabe inherited an original US$700m public debt from pre-independence Rhodesia, but ran up much more throughout his reign; some feel he was encouraged in this by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which once praised Mugabe for his 'persistence and determination' in implementing the structural adjustment reforms the bank advocated.
Another potential problem is that the new president is presently the subject of US sanctions, imposed earlier while he was a key part of Mugabe's regime.
How these delicate matters are handled will determine the future of Zimbabwe. I firmly hope that the next government will have the pragmatism to do the right thing by its people and that its people have the resilience to rebuild the country's economy.

One of the first things I noticed as I started my early morning commute today was the number of men wearing pink shirts. On the train, on the ferry from Hoboken to Wall Street and on the streets of lower Manhattan pink shirts seemed to be everywhere. The gym was packed with guys wearing pink shirts too — and when I commented to one of them that we were both wearing pink shirts, he opined that "it's a low risk choice: it's a Friday in the summer." Doing something 'daring' becomes easier the more people who accept the behavior. And if a slight majority is ok with it, it ceases to be daring at all. It becomes a low-risk choice.
Which brings me to today's Supreme Court decision. Without commenting on my reaction to the decision, it seems to be a low-risk option for the Justices: US opinion polls shows a slight majority of people across the country supporting marriage equality for the first time about 3 years ago. Among 18 to 29 year old voters, the trend is much stronger with 78% of them in favor of equality according to Gallup. While I don't pretend to know what goes on inside a Supreme Court Justice's head (I simply do not think like a lawyer does), each one of them must be fully cognizant that the tide of history is clearly on the side of equality. It had became the low-risk decision.
I think I may start to wear pink shirts to work more often.

This article originally appeared in Risk.net, co-authored with my good friend Ken Akoundi, President of ASPN Solutions. Ken and I will be speaking at the RiskHedge conference in NYC on July 8 on the topic of Liquidity Risk.
Market liquidity, when not taken for granted, is a complex topic that has no quick and easy explanation, measure or analysis. Without liquidity, a market cannot really exist, so most economic, valuation and risk models assume a high level of liquidity. Any other assumption is just too messy: how exactly does one go about modelling a market when one of its required characteristics – liquidity – is in short supply or non-existent?
Both the Wall Street Journal and Investopedia define liquidity similarly: the degree to which a security can be easily bought or sold without materially changing its price. Liquidity is not just the ability to buy or sell – liquidity is about the ability to do so without moving the market. That last bit means that to be truly liquid, a security needs plentiful buyers and sellers so anyone can transact at nearby prices, leading to one of the most common measures of liquidity: volume. But high volume alone does not mean you can always transact without moving the market: what if all that volume is dominated by buyers when there are few sellers – a strategy used by some hedge funds in frontier markets. Without plentiful sellers, just one buyer can and will move the market. The mirror image is also true. Size matters: small quantities can often be easily bought or sold and therefore some would describe the security as 'liquid', but the same security at larger quantities may not find a market at all.

State awards almost $7.3 million in grants to support rural economic development projects
RALEIGH — Mebane is getting nearly half a million dollars from the state to fund use of the former Southern Season warehouse for a new industry coming to town.
Universal Preserv-A-Chem is set to fill the abandoned building in the N.C. Commerce Park. The natural-ingredient and chemical-distribution company is moving its headquarters from New Jersey.
The City Council on Oct. 1 approved as much as $75,000 in yearly incentives for Universal Preserv-A-Chem. Now, $480,000 from the N.C. Rural Infrastructure Authority's Vacant Building category will support reuse of the 84,060-square-foot building.
Universal Preserv-A-Chem promises to create 39 jobs with an average salary of $40,000. First priority will be given to Mebane-area applicants, company President Michael Ravitz told the council, and the company also will speak to Alamance Community College about the kind of trained workers they'll need.
Universal Preserv-A-Chem is to invest nearly $17 million, and the building is to be expanded by 50,000 square feet. The facility would take in chemicals, blend and repackage them, and ship them to companies like L'Oréal, Johnson & Johnson and Estée Lauder, for use in products such as lotions, shampoos and antiaging creams.
The state grant is among 19 totaling $7,275,100, N.C. Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland said, entailing commitments to create 407 jobs. The public investment will attract more than $95 million in private investment, the state says.
"Rural North Carolina communities have a lot to offer families and businesses, and they need infrastructure that complements those unique assets," Copeland said. "These new Rural Infrastructure Authority grants will help invest in that infrastructure and support the creation of good jobs across our state."

Last week, Luke O'Brien, a writer for the Huffington Post, penned an article which revealed the person behind the Twitter handle @AmyMek (real name: Amy Jane Mekelberg), an account dedicated to peddling racist garbage predominantly aimed at Muslims. O'Brien's story itself quickly gets muddled in minutia (albeit interesting minutia), revealing various details about Mekelberg's life. As one can imagine, the article was met with scorn from Mekelberg's many fans, but things took a distinctly violent turn over the past few days, with O'Brien receiving death threats online. Over the course of Donald Trump's presidency, rhetoric against the mainstream press has become increasingly malignant.
Political criticisms are touted as un-American and there's a rapidly growing sentiment that our freedom of the press is under siege. But, while direct threats against journalists are frightening, there's an argument to be made that we're entering a new golden era of American journalism.
A Brief History Lesson:
The rise of newspapers in this country runs directly parallel to the adoption of our two party system in the late 18th century. Following the end of George Washington's second term, political groups rapidly began sponsoring papers to curry favor with the general public and to support their candidates. In this way, the press is directly responsible for stoking the fires of American partisanism. Still, these early papers were little more than pamphlets, and there were no pretenses surrounding unbiased reporting. These political newspapers were essentially used as a means of smearing the competition. The press as we know it began with the invention of the Linotype Machine, a device that rapidly industrialized the newspaper business by allowing papers to be printed at astonishing (for the time) speeds. It's important to remember though,while freedom of the press was baked into the fabric of the constitution, there were no rules prohibiting newspapers from distorting the truth, or in some case, outright lying in their publications.
Yellow Journalism
In the late 19th century, the yellow journalism of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer pushed us into the Spanish American War. Throughout the early 20th century, the news slowly became more and more fact-based, eventually reaching what many consider to be the "Golden Age of Journalism," that brief period during the Vietnam War when the press core took on the U.S. government and won. Unfortunately, this period was little more than a blink, an exception to the rule of American media. In the decades following journalism's golden age, the 24-hour cable news circuit coupled with the Internet, rendered print newspapers obsolete.
Nowadays, Americans in search of reliable news sources find themselves lost without a compass. Most news organizations are either low on funds, or owned by wealthy people with pretty specific political agendas. At the moment, the press is extremely vulnerable to attack, and the ability for established outlets to publicly criticize powerful figures is waning. Remember when Peter Thiel destroyed Gawker Media because they outed him as gay? He literally just stopped trying to buy their archives. Tech darling Elon Musk also recently started waging a war on the press and vowed to start a site called Pravda (oddly named after the USSR newspaper that published all of Stalin's propaganda) where users can vote on whether or not they believe a story is true. Musk clearly started this fight as a means to deflect from the fact that Tesla is failing, despite their adoption of unsavory (but cost saving!) labor practices. Musk's attacks on the press are strangely reminiscent of Donald Trump's insistence that any critique of his presidency is fake news. Trump and Musk are also similar because of the (somewhat overlapping) cult of personalities surrounding the two men. In the same way Trump supporters tend to lash out at dissenters online, Musk obsessives go after journalists who speak ill of their hero.
While large media companies are slowly reverting back to the 1890s style of constant pot stirring for the sake of ratings–Fox News on the other hand has adopted the polemical style of the 1790s, its hosts shouting their way through every topic of discussion–the supposedly-free world of Internet journalism is under constant attack from enraged people with large Twitter followings. The truth is though, we're living in a new golden age of journalism, and we don't even know it. Sure, native advertisements and corporate interests are taking over most major media companies. And yes, journalists like Luke O'Brien have to fear for their lives. But nostalgia has a tendency to obfuscate reality. When Neil Sheehan began publishing the Pentagon Papers, it's a virtual certainty that he feared for life as well. Foreign correspondents in Nazi Germany (before the war broke out) struggled to send accurate reports back to America. We should certainly be worried when public ineffectuals like Elon Musk use their influence to shut down online journalists or when any reporter receives death threats, but the press is not dead yet. There are plenty of journalists working today who are still fighting the good fight. Luke O'Brien decided to stand up against the Twitter mob and double down on his original thoughts on Amy Mekelberg. Erin Biba stood up against Elon Musk and his followers as well. Good journalists are right to be afraid right now. They have no shortage of powerful enemies. Maybe one day, people will look back on our most courageous reporters and dub the 2010s the second golden age of journalism. For those of us living in it right now, we can more accurately describe these times as terrifying.

The Devil's Own Work by Alan Judd, narrated by Matt Godfrey
The Devil's Own Work is a beautifully written, subtly told Faustian tale, which the narrator performs perfectly.
A man relates the story of his friend, Edward, and how he became a famous and successful writer. A writer who, although he writes many words, ultimately has nothing of substance to say. Further along, we discover that Edward inherited a manuscript from a recently deceased author named Tyrell. With that manuscript he also seems to have inherited a beautiful, ageless woman named Eudoxy.
As the story unfolds, we learn more about the manuscript, (which only can be read one letter at a time, because to try to see an actual word results in the reader seeing gibberish.) It's when this manuscript falls into Edward's hands that he suddenly becomes successful. Is that because of the manuscript itself, or because of the mysterious Eudoxy? You'll have to read this to find out!
This novella length story is tight and slow to build. There isn't necessarily a denouement, but instead a growing realization of horror and what is truly involved. If you are a reader expecting a lot of action, this isn't the tale for you. However, if you have a love of language and precise storytelling, AND this premise sounds intriguing to you, I highly recommend you give The Devil's Own Work a try. It probably won't provoke any screams or shouts of terror from you, but I bet it will give you a bad case of the heebies-jeebies.
Highly recommended!

Davis, Clark lift UMass past New Orleans 103-95 in overtime Wednesday night
December 17, 2015
On a night dedicated to former Massachusetts men's basketball coach and Hall of Famer John Calipari it was Trey Davis and Donte Clark that stole the show Wednesday.
Davis scored a career-high 40 points as Clark chimed in with 30 as it took overtime for UMass (6-4) to take down New Orleans (3-6) 103-95 Wednesday night with members of the 1996 Final Four team sitting courtside.
Davis' 40 points were the most scored at the Mullins Center, beating the previous mark of 38 set by Marcus Camby –who was one of the former UMass players in attendance– against Dayton Jan. 6, 1996.
Davis didn't hesitate when he was asked if he knew he had 38 points as he attempted a layup and was fouled with two seconds remaining.
"Yup," Davis said with a grin. "I didn't know it was a Mullins record though."
After a back-and-forth second half and start to the extra period, Clark hit a deep 3-pointer in front of the Minutemen bench to put them up 91-88 with 1:50 remaining in the extra period. UMass didn't trail again after that basket.
"Oh yeah, I definitely thought it would go in," Clark said about the late 3.
"I wouldn't say I was trying to deliver a knockout blow, I was just trying to win the game. I was just playing within and when my shot goes in, I'll just take them," Clark added.
"We need those guys to score. I thought that those two and Rashaan (Holloway) were our only offense throughout the game," Kellogg said.
Holloway (13 points) was the only other UMass player in double figures.
The Minutemen looked like they were going to cruise to the finish line after gathering an 11-point lead at the beginning of the second half thanks in part to a 9-2 run. However, the Privateers wouldn't go away easily as neither team led by more than four points after Christavious Gill's 3 cut it to 66-63 with 9:25 remaining.
Six UNO players finished in double digits with forward Erik Thomas leading with way with team highs in points (16) and rebounds (13).
"That team is feisty. I've watched them on tape a lot, they come in battle and scrap and they gave us everything we could handle tonight," Kellogg said.
The Privateers had a chance to seal the victory with five seconds left after a forced layup by Clark at the other end with 11 seconds remaining. Kevin Hill's shot hit the side of the rim as time expired after Seth Berger had subbed into the game to defend him.
UNO looked like it was going to spoil UMass' night of celebration early on as they led by as many as 10 two separate times in the first half. There were a total of 10 lead changes Wednesday night while the two teams were tied on 12 different occasions.
While the majority of Davis' points usually come from behind the 3-point arc, he spent the majority of the game at the free throw line, finishing 18-of-20.
"Forty is 40. Whatever way you want to slice it, that's a lot of points," Kellogg said. "There's been a lot of really good players to come through these doors out here for him to score 40 in this arena and be the first one to do it is," Kellogg said recalling former greats he's watched and played with.
However, it wasn't the Calipari ceremony or the former all-time Minutemen greats in attendance that inspired Davis, it was something a little bit more personal.
His inspiration?
His iPhone.
Davis' mother turned off his cell phone after he shot 15-of-57 (26.3 percent) in UMass' three-game losing streak against Mississippi, Central Florida and Florida Gulf Coast.
"No, getting my phone turned back on was my urgency. To be honest with you, I really wanted my phone turned back on," Davis said.

Why I Loved 'Choose Your Own Adventure' Books
You're a nameless kid, on your way to visit your uncle or something (why does it seem like the Choose Your Own Adventure kids were always visiting their uncles?). But as you're walking along a familiar mountain path, you come across something you've never seen before. Is it the vine-covered entrance to a time-traveling cave? The hulking shape of the Abominable Snowman? Something with aliens? (Spoiler: It's almost always something with aliens.) You're scared but intrigued, and so you step closer to this strange new object, your heart racing, palms sweaty, getting closer and closer until... a mountain lion jumps out and eats you. Or you get split in half by a trans-dimensional portal. Or you turn into a pig and realize that you are doomed to one day be slaughtered for someone's BLT (yes, that is a real ending from one of the books).
If that all sounds familiar, feel free to skip the next paragraph.
If not, read on for a brief introduction to the world of Choose Your Own Adventure.
The Choose Your Own Adventure books always began with a similar warning. Maybe it was the four exclamation points, or the possibility of gruesome death, but kids went nuts for these interactive adventures.:
The whole idea began with Edward Packard, a lawyer who noticed that his daughters enjoyed bedtime stories more if they got to help choose the endings (they also liked to help him out when he got stuck with a plot). So he decided to write a children's book that would put the reader in control, and soon it spiraled into a hugely successful series. Before Goosebumps or The Baby-Sitter's Club, there was Choose Your Own Adventure: the books were written in the second person, with you as the hero, and every page or two you were offered a choice, such as "if you decide that the chimps are friendly, turn to page 9," or "If you return to the surface of the planet despite your captain's warning, turn to page 87."
Sometimes you would wind up the emperor of some alien planet, or (very rarely) make it home to your aunt and uncle in one piece. More often, you would meet a truly horrifying death.
I was a little behind the times with the whole Choose Your Own Adventure fad. It seems like its heyday was the '80s and early '90s, and by the time I was reading the books, you could only really find them secondhand. A lot of people had probably given up interactive books in favor of video games, but I was always at least two technologies behind as a kid (I was that 9th grader who still listened to cassette tapes before it became retro to listen to cassette tapes). So I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure books. They scared me so badly that I had to read with my thumb firmly lodged in the previous page, just in case I'd chosen my own doom. I always cheated, and backtracked every time I died. But even with all my precautions, I still had nightmares about being devoured by furry green aliens, or asphyxiating on a damaged space station, or riding a train off a cliff in the Vampire Express.
Still, no matter how many times a crab-person sucked out my brain through a straw, I kept coming back to those books. I read them out loud to my friends on the school bus, took them on long car rides, reread them to see if I could reach an ending I'd never reached before (or at least, an ending where I still had all my limbs). I liked the absurdist quality of the books, untroubled by logic. I liked that the books didn't talk down to you; the authors never seemed concerned that an 8-year-old might be disturbed by being fictionally dismembered.
And above all, I loved the originality of the structure. In the truly creepy Inside UFO 54-40, you spend the whole book searching for the paradise planet of Ultima. And there is an ending where you reach the utopian Ultima — but no matter what choice you make, you'll never get there. You have to just cheat and flip through the book at random to find the one happy ending. I mean... how cool is that? You have to break the rules of the book in order to "win" the book? When you're 8, that's a mind-blowing level of meta-fiction.
So, the Choose Your Own Adventure Books were fun and innovative and upsetting to small children, but did they change the way that kids read? Well... I would argue yes. I know that they're not high literature — they're not Harry Potter or The Phantom Tollbooth or any other kids' book that teaches you the importance of love and math. They don't teach you much besides "don't get killed by aliens," "don't visit your uncle," and "the universe is a cruel and unpredictable mistress." But in their own small way, they revolutionized kids' reading.
If you were a young writer, especially, those books were magical: they let you in on the writing process! You got to see a narrative structure from the inside out, and you got to kind of help with the writing. Before the interactive wonders of elaborately scripted video games and experimental new media, Choose Your Own Adventure Books were letting kids play around with the very idea of what a story could be.
Plus, YOU were the main character! Ok, so in reality, most of the illustrations portray "you" as a generic white boy...
...because apparently that was the only demographic anyone cared about in the '80s. But the text itself rarely described you in any detail. You were supposed to see yourself in the role of intrepid adventurer, whoever you were.
Because even if the illustrations were limiting, the books never underestimated the role of the reader. As a kid, it's rare to feel in control of anything. But in the Choose Your Own Adventure universe, you were in control of your own story (until you got eaten by space bees, at least). Edward Packard and his team understood that reading is every inch as creative a process as writing. Even when a book doesn't offer you any choices, you're creating the story in your head as you read it.
The Choose Your Own Adventure Books might have been cheesy at times, or grisly, or grim. They certainly didn't shy away from having "you" crash into the sun on occasion. But they opened my eyes to experimental narrative structures. And perhaps more importantly, they fed my lifelong love of writing, reading, and aliens. And isn't that what any good children's book is supposed to do?

Agen Sabung Ayam
Although a range of free and low-priced scriptwriting apps are available across all key computing OSes and Web browsers, only a single has launched with a constructed-in capability to send a finished script directly to a film or television studio.
The totally free Amazon Storywriter app launched on Thursday by loudly advertising that direct-pitch capability, and it has asked aspiring scribes to write, then straight submit, screenplays for comedy Television series, drama Television series, and function-length films. Need to authors currently have text in progress, they can import PDFs, FDX, and Fountain format files to the app (or export to these formats) with no needing an Amazon Prime account or any other paying membership.
The app otherwise functions like your run-of-the-mill scriptwriting app, which means it formats text for the sake of dialogue, transitions, action descriptions, and a lot more, and your only font choice is Courier. If you'd like to use the app although offline, you can do so by way of a Chrome extension. Unlike other Net-primarily based services such as WriterDuet, which comes in both free and paid flavors, Amazon Storyteller does not offer you any live-collaboration solutions for the subsequent fantastic Affleck-Damon duo. Storyteller also does not offer a direct way to submit young children-distinct content material pitches any spiritual successor to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood must be sent to Amazon Studios by way of a Net interface.

Chester is not only the largest city in Delaware County but also the oldest city in all of Pennsylvania. The city is directly in between the major cities of Philadelphia and Wilmington. According to the 2010 census, Chester is home to a population of 33,972 people. Nearly all of this population is comprised of the working class.
Chester boasted the largest population in Pennsylvania even in the 17th century. William Penn arrived around this time upon the ship called Welcome and personally renamed the town Chester after the famed English city.
By the 18th and 19th centuries, Chester began to achieve its full potential as a commercial hub. Its location along the Delaware River made it an easy place through which to transport raw materials and goods via ship. Its proximity to the Chester Creek allowed for many textile mills and other factories to set up shop.
Things to Do in Chester:
Recent renovations and business openings have kept Chester a city with much business success and many attractions, such as:
Who You Are:
You're a commuter living in Chester making their way to Philadelphia for work and are injured by the SEPTA regional rail and its faulty doors.
You're a parent on your day off taking your family out to dinner, and you and your family experience food poisoning, one of many forms of product liability.
You're a worker in an office building and experience a slip and fall down a flight of poorly lit stair, which results in a serious injury.
Who We Are and What We Will Do for You:
No matter who you are or what your problem happens to be, the Law Offices of Craig A. Altman want to help you. So often, big businesses overlook or mistreat those that keep their business running. In fact, this working class keeps the entire city of Chester running. We want you to be recognized as a valuable asset to the community and receive the compensation you deserve.

Rebecca Minus Reviews The Law Offices of Craig Altman
Chester Personal Injury Attorney
"Was in a bad situation and didn't know what to do. When I called the firm, they explained everything to me so it made sense. Then met up with Eli. He's great, and takes the time with me to explain things, and what next steps are.
Others at the firm were very professional and yet understanding as well."

I have download this app to get reviews up and running on my website. I don't have much experience with setting this out and Yusuf was brilliant. He helped me straight away and explaining to me everything I wasn't clear about. I gave only 4 stars because I still don't know if this app is what I actually need and want, I'll give some time.
Terrible app! I spent 2 hours to import the reviews files, finally there were just 2 reivews imported successfully. Hehe! Then I remove the code this app left according its removal instructions, and uninstalled it, then my website was collapsed.
Developer reply
Hi Han, we are sorry that had issues with importing your reviews, we understand that it can be a difficult process, especially if the source data needs to be heavily reformatted because it's coming from a non-supported platform.
We feel that your star rating of one is a bit harsh, especially given that we offered on several occasions to assist you with the import, but we didn't hear back from you until after you had difficulty and had uninstalled our app.
There can be many reasons why the import is difficult, and it's not usually because of our app, but that the fact that the data has not been formatted correctly in the file. This is especially true if the reviews are from a non-supported third party review platform. Without seeing the file that was created or understand the format of the file, we cannot comment further or assist or help importing unfortunately.
We are also sorry to hear that your store crashed, it sounds like some additional theme code was removed by accident when you were uninstalling our widgets manually. If this happens, you can restore the previous backup version of the file in the theme editor and then attempt to remove the code again.
We have an automatic injection and removal widget tool for the Free Shopify themes, but every theme developer and store owner as well can greatly modify their theme differently, which makes it very difficult to have a 'one shoe fits all' approach to being able to add widget code to themes automatically, which is why you probably needed to remove some of the code manually.
As we'd previously communicated through our chats and the sharing of the original import help articles, we are available to assist you should you need it for either the import or the widget codes. If you still need assistance, just reach back out to us through our chat app as we would like to help get your reviews on your site and also have the widgets display properly.
