C H A P T E R 5 Stress
Honeywell has a history of evolving through acquisitions into high growth sectors of related
business, and there is no indication that this trend is slowing. In fact, the company has placed
increased emphasis on software and other businesses that address challenges related to energy,
security, safety, productivity, and urbanization. However, while Honeywell continues to grow
and evolve, the company also faces mounting pressure in some of its businesses and has reacted
with initiatives intended to control costs and increase company performance. As an example,
Honeywell's Aerospace Division responded to an extended slowdown in the aerospace industry
by laying off employees in 2015 and 2016. The division also implemented weeklong furloughs
(unpaid time off) for employees not involved in manufacturing and sales.
Honeywell also believes that improvements in company performance require teamwork, idea
sharing, and faster decision making, and that this is best accomplished through face-to-face interaction among employees. To facilitate this, the company decided to end its telecommuting option
for employees not involved in sales or field service. Honeywell had permitted employees to work
remotely, at home if they wished, for several reasons. First, Honeywell employees are based in
more than a thousand sites in over 70 countries, and they often work on important projects with
other employees who may be located half-way across the world. The projects may be engaging,
but trying to coordinate across time zones can be quite difficult during normal working hours.
Second, telecommuting allows employees to work when and where they feel they are most
productive. Employees who work remotely can chose to avoid the daily commute, office politics
and distractions, and the hassle of accomplishing nonwork demands. Finally, telecommuting is
very popular with millennial engineers and scientists who are comfortable using technology to
collaborate and who have other employment options.
The change in Honeywell's long-standing policy will be especially difficult for employees who
have built their lives around the flexibility of working remotely. As an example, choices regarding
where to live may haunt employees who now face the prospect of commuting back and forth
to distant Honeywell offices each day. To some Honeywell employees, however, there may be a
bright side to the change in policy. After putting in their 40 hours in the office and commuting
each day, employees may not feel as compelled to deal with work-related issues that come up in
the evenings or on weekends
5.1 Describe how the change in Honeywell's telecommuting policy likely influenced the types of
work stressors experienced by the company's employees. How has the change in policy likely
influenced nonwork stressors?
5.2 Given the change in stressors resulting from the change in the telecommuting policy, what can
you predict about the commitment and job performance of Honeywell's employees? Explain.
5.3 Identify steps that Honeywell could take to mitigate the potential for negative consequences
resulting from the change in the company's telecommuting policy.

Note: The following article contains discussion of themes including suicide that some readers may find upsetting.
Former EastEnders star Michelle Collins has revealed that she regrets taking part in Celebrity MasterChef last year as she opens up about her mental health.
The actress said that she had been struggling after losing her mother Mary to a two-year battle with cancer.
Speaking to Notebook, she recalled: "I did Celebrity MasterChef, and I was really in a bad way. Mentally I wasn't right and I shouldn't have done it. Then in April mum died, so last year wasn't a happy time for me.

"We all go through times in our life when we suffer from mental health issues, and we should talk about it. I did write about it in my book, including the time when I attempted suicide.
"I've become much stronger as I've gotten older, but I still want to help other people as much as I can."
When Mary passed away in April, Collins confirmed the news on Instagram with a photograph of the two in a café, writing: "She was the strongest, kindest woman I knew. Fierce, protective, passionate, clever, funny, articulate. She gave Vicky and I our #drive and #hunger for life."

She also thanked the Royal Free London NHS's oncology department for their work during her mum's battle with cancer.
Collins joined EastEnders as Cindy Beale in 1988 for two years and returning again in 1992, only to permanently leave the show in 1998.
She is also known for her role as Stella Price in another beloved soap, Coronation Street.

2019 Jeep Wrangler
18 City
25 Highway
Trim Levels (Exterior)
For the 2019 model year, the Jeep Wrangler rolls into showrooms in five exciting trim levels: Sport, Sport S, Sahara, Rubicon, and Moab. Standard features on the Wrangler include 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, the iconic Jeep grille, and new flared fenders that combine form with function. A fold-down windshield is one of the more exciting new amenities in 2019, enabling you to feel the rush of the wind as you drive along the beach or crawl your way across boulders and outcroppings. The removable top, windows, and doors come back for this year, adding to the open-air appeal of the Wrangler.
Signature LED lighting, model-exclusive badging, side-assist steps, larger all-terrain tires, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and a one-touch power moonroof (hardtop only) round out the features of the 2019 Wrangler's upper trims.
Choose from one of eight colors for the 2019 Wrangler: Bright White, Granite Crystal, Black, Billet Silver, Mojito!, Firecracker Red, Hellayella, and Punk'n Metallic.
Engine (Power)
Wrangler purists will be relieved to know that the 2019 Wrangler still carries the 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine, but a new engine emerges that will surprise and delight. This year, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine joins the lineup for the first time. Despite its smaller displacement, the turbocharged component of the vehicle affords the Wrangler 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque with maximum efficiency.
The 2019 Jeep Wrangler earns the prestigious Trail Rated badge for the umpteenth time in a row, so you know you'll have all the capacity you need to blaze new trails. At the core of this rating are three four-by-four systems: Rock-Trac, Command-Trac, and Selec-Trac. Using selectable modes that power the wheels as necessary, the Wrangler has better grip and more agility than its competitors. From the pavement to a mountain ascent, you'll feel confident as the 2019 Jeep Wrangler cruises over the terrain unscathed.
Jeep made a vested effort to make the Wrangler more comfortable, upgrading the seats and providing room for up to five passengers with a bit more legroom and hip room. The Detroit automaker also packed in more tech features than ever. In 2019, the Wrangler boasts SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the Uconnect infotainment system, which is accessed through a vibrant 8.4-inch touch-screen display.
Safety Features
Aimed at making the Wrangler safer than ever, Jeep adds advanced driver-assist safety features to the mix in 2019. Adaptive cruise control, trailer sway control, rear cross-path detection, blind spot monitoring, full-speed forward collision warning, and a rearview camera are just some of the top safety features this year.

One of the hardest things about Film Studies is the amount of thinking and talking that you have to do. There's a lot of processing and reflection in lessons, and so the more practice you can get reading and thinking, the better. There's always a temptation to talk about our favourite films, and of course that's part of it, but you'll be developing more critical thinking skills.
Media and film both play a vital role in contemporary society. It is essential that young people possess the tools to understand and analyse the role of the (fake) media and the huge impact it has on their thinking, behaviour and other elements of their lives.
We are supported by a wealth of technical expertise and industry standard equipment which enables our students to excel in national competitions. Whether you prefer practical work or theoretical exploration the department has something to offer any individual who is driven to explore the media in greater depth.
Film is possibly the most powerful and ubiquitous media form of the last 100 years. However, despite what some people think, film is not merely a populist form of entertainment. While many works can be placed in this category, other films often come closer to status of art. It should also be remembered that the film industry is just that, an industry: a business with the primary goal of making money. While Hollywood is, in many ways, at the forefront of this, most national cinemas have their own equivalent.
Regardless of whether you prefer high-budget, Hollywood blockbusters or Scandinavian art cinema, any film can, and should, be studied. Film Studies is an academic discipline that examines the form, content, historical, cultural and economic aspects of cinema. A Level in Film Studies has been designed to ignite a passion for film and encourage broader cultural and historical perspectives on this academic area of study. It is our strong desire that an A level in Film Studies should inspire learners to continue learning beyond the confines of the classroom as well as developing personal and interpersonal skills that will serve them well both in Higher Education and in the workplace.
In addition to gaining a detailed knowledge of cinema, students are expected to leave the course with enhanced skills in a range of key areas, including: creative thinking, problem-solving, effective communication and self-management. This qualification provides a strong foundation for learners to progress to Higher Education and equips learners for progression into the workplace.
Many of our ex-students have continued their study of cinema at university, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Universities attended by our ex-students include: Bournemouth University; King's College, University of London; University of Southampton; Southampton Solent University; and University of Warwick.
Students' final grades will be determined via their performance across the following two written exams (worth 70% of the overall grade) and a coursework portfolio [NEA] (worth 30%).
The first year will serve as an introductory course in the study of Film, designed to deepen students' understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of cinema. At the root of this is the recognition that films are constructed – using a range of elements, such as cinematography, mise-en-scène, sound and editing – and follow grammatical patterns that we learn to read. Film Studies will introduce learners to a wide range of films from different national cinemas, from the Silent Era to the present day, incorporating different film forms (shorts, experimental, documentary and fiction) and produced by a diverse variety of authors. Learners will also:
A Level Film Studies contain films with a mixture of certifications, including 18 certificate films. We will take into account the advice from the British Board of Film Certification (BBFC) and the maturity of our learners before showing any 18 certificated films.
The course fee of £25 per year covers most of the materials that students will require. Due to the nature of the practical work undertaken on this course, students will be required to bring a minimum 1TB hard drive and a digital card reader. Students will also be assigned to a full Adobe Creative Cloud suite allowing access to the cloud based editing software both in college and at home. Students will have the opportunity to rent hard drives from the college media department for a deposit.
Industrial Light & Magic is an American motion picture visual effects company that was founded in May 1975 by George Lucas. It is a division of the film production company Lucasfilm, which Lucas founded, and was created when Lucas began production of the film Star Wars. Students completed a three-day virtual work placement where they worked in teams to recreate a scene from one of ILM's previous projects, they also heard from several ILM staff about the diverse job roles in the VFX industry. Quotes from two of the students below:
During your time in Film Studies, you will be given the opportunity to go on trips to enhance your experience through visiting key institutions and locations and engaging in activities away from the classroom. Recently, we have visited Pinewood Studios, the British Film Institute and saw the Kubrick exhibition at the Design Museum. We've also looked at exhibitions of work by experimental filmmakers at the Tate Gallery. We believe that these experiences are vital to your development as a student and would urge you to take these opportunities whenever you can. To see more photos from our trips please look on our Instagram page.
We also offer enrichments within the department, such as Film Club, to help develop your understanding and give you a broader experience which will benefit your future ambitions. To learn more, please have a look at our enrichments guide.
Our Head of Department, Tom Cops will be happy to help.

Did Blackwater Xe Founder Have People Killed?
For all the criticism faced by Erik Prince, the founder of private security company Blackwater — since renamed Xe — no one's ever called him a killer. But according to Jeremy Scahill, the reporter most doggedly investigating the company, new sworn statements filed in a civil case against Xe on behalf of Iraqi civilians killed by company operatives in 2007 claim just that. These are filings from anonymous ex-Blackwater employees obtained by Scahill for The Nation:
The former employee, identified in the court documents as "John Doe #2," is a former member of Blackwater's management team, according to a source close to the case. Doe #2 alleges in a sworn declaration that, based on information provided to him by former colleagues, "it appears that Mr. Prince and his employees murdered, or had murdered, one or more persons who have provided information, or who were planning to provide information, to the federal authorities about the ongoing criminal conduct." John Doe #2 says he worked at Blackwater for four years; his identity is concealed in the sworn declaration because he "fear[s] violence against me in retaliation for submitting this Declaration." He also alleges, "On several occasions after my departure from Mr. Prince's employ, Mr. Prince's management has personally threatened me with death and violence."
In a separate sworn statement, the former US marine who worked for Blackwater in Iraq alleges that he has "learned from my Blackwater colleagues and former colleagues that one or more persons who have provided information, or who were planning to provide information about Erik Prince and Blackwater have been killed in suspicious circumstances." Identified as "John Doe #1," he says he "joined Blackwater and deployed to Iraq to guard State Department and other American government personnel." It is not clear if Doe #1 is still working with the company as he states he is "scheduled to deploy in the immediate future to Iraq." Like Doe #2, he states that he fears "violence" against him for "submitting this Declaration." No further details on the alleged murder(s) are provided.
I can't add anything to this account. It's absolutely explosive if it's true. Xe wouldn't talk to Scahill.

UV Sterilizer Q&A:
Q. When I turn on the machine, how can I tell if it is ON? Can I feel the machine by hand?
A. No. There is no vibration to the machine. But if you look at the Power & UV switches, they will be lit up.
Q. When I turn on the sterilizer is the UV Light supposed to turn on?
A. Yes, UV Light is supposed to be on. You cannot tell from the outside if the UV Bulb inside is ON or OFF. When you open the door, UV Light will turn off.
Q. What is the button on the left side of the cabinet, which you can see when the door is opened?
A. That is a "safety" button. It prevents people from turning ON the Power Switch (while the door is open) and getting their eyes exposed to the UV Light, which would cause damage to the eyes. Similar safety buttons are present in many newer model sterilizers.
Additional Details:
- There are two separate switches for Hot Cabinet & Sterilizer. Power & UV.
Make sure to turn both of them ON.
- Sterilizer function will turn OFF after 10 to 15 minutes. It will remain OFF until the door is opened and the items inside are removed.
- This is also a safety measure, which eliminates leaving items inside and sterilizing them over and over again. Which means after usage, the power is OFF for the sterilizer, unless the door is opened to reset.

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 7): Sarawak's legal pursuit for a higher share of proceeds from its hydrocarbon resources – the biggest among Malaysia's oil and gas producing states – has once again put the national oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) in the limelight.
The matter escalated just as Tan Sri Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin approaches his five-year mark as Petronas president and group chief executive officer early next year.
At the 83rd floor of Petronas Twin Tower 1, The Edge speaks with Wan Zulkiflee in an exclusive interview to shed more light on the matter, and other series of events involving the national oil and gas company recently.
Touching on the Sarawak conundrum – which has emerged despite ongoing talks between state and federal governments under the broader Malaysia Agreement 1963 – Wan Zulkiflee explains Petronas' position, relative to its role as the custodian of Malaysia's oil and gas reserves.
"I think for Petronas, our role is to increase the value pie. So we will do whatever we can within our means and expertise to increase the value pie for the whole country — regardless of whether it is in Sabah, Sarawak or the Peninsula," he says.
He also explains in details on why the root of the problem – fueled demand for 20% oil royalty to all producing states – is simply not feasible.
Through the interview, Wan Zulkiflee was his usual, smiling self, but he becomes serious when he expanded on what lies in store for the national oil corporation — Malaysia's only Fortune 500 Company.
Wan Zulkiflee was careful, but clear on matters from Petronas' non-participation in the Saudi Aramco IPO, to renewed talks about a possible IPO of Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd – and how Petronas' approach fits into its greater, long term agenda.
"We have got a new statement of purpose for the company — to be a progressive energy and solutions partner, enriching lives for a sustainable future.
"In our new statement of purpose, the word O&G (oil and gas) is not there. I am preparing this organisation for a transition … at the right time, at the right pace, to be that energy and solutions partner," he says.
Grab a copy of The Edge Weekly this week (Dec 9-13, 2019) to get an insight on the reality of Malaysia's oil revenue distribution, Petronas' way forward and its role in Malaysia's oil and gas industry – and beyond.

Playtech is the Favorite
Hardcore gamers are more concerned about the excitement of the game than any other aspect. The jackpot is essential, but the experience will be meaningless if the environment or the game does not offer the "high."This is perhaps why Playtech casinos are ranked among the top favorites of serious gamers.
The site's sleek and elegant appearance is hard to miss. It helps you focus better on the game. It is easy for beginners to start gambling with a simple interface. Playtech casinos are a haven for gamblers because of these and other features.
What could be better than being a casino consultant? This job is ideal for someone who has a passion for gambling and related games. While the dealer deals and the cashier takes the money, you can be involved in all aspects of the casino consulting business. A casino consultant might help with all aspects of several casinos.
A casino consultant can help you make sense of new laws or changes in zoning to permit a new gambling establishment. Their knowledge of all aspects of the industry will help you make the right decisions. This includes demographic information and how it will affect a new casino. A casino consultant will recommend the best games for the casino, given the local competition.
A professional casino consulting firm can provide services for all aspects of a casino's operations. While accounting is the most important aspect of gambling, there are many other areas of expertise. There is no product to sell, and there are no profit margins and costs to be calculated. It is vital to resolve how much money will be taken each day and, even more importantly, what percentage the casino will keep depending on the odds.
Therefore, the casino consultant must guide it in deciding how many games to offer and how much return it will make. For example, if you have 100 blackjack tables, there is an ongoing labor cost. Are there enough players to fill those tables? What is the expected revenue for each table based on the odds? This is not an easy task. Each game takes up space that another could have used. It is up to the casino consultant to determine which combination is best. It sounds excellent to flood the casino with only slot machines, as they make more money than any other game and have low operating costs. People won't be attracted to a casino with only one option for gaming.
A gambling establishment can also use the casino consultant to help with game placement. Knowing where the slots and tables are located is essential to generate the highest revenue.

Tennis is often seen as a less expensive sport to play than golf, but this is not always the case. While tennis equipment can be purchased relatively cheaply, golf courses can cost a significant amount of money to maintain. Additionally, there is an abundance of tennis facilities available around the country. While there are only a few golf courses in most metropolitan areas.
In fact, some Golf Digest editors rank tennis as the second most expensive sport to play after professional football. However, in general, tennis is more expensive than golf. For one, tennis courts are typically more expensive to rent or purchase than golf courses. Tennis also requires more specialized equipment. Such as tennis rackets and balls, while golf only requires a golf club and a ball.
It depends on a variety of factors, such as the location of the courses, the level of difficulty, and the amount of equipment needed. This is because golf courses are typically much larger than tennis courts, and they require more maintenance. Additionally, golfers often need to purchase specialized equipment. Such as clubs and balls, while tennis players only need a racket and a ball.
Table of Contents
When most people think about playing a sport, the first thing that comes to mind is buying the necessary equipment. For tennis and golf, this can be an expensive proposition. Tennis rackets can cost anywhere from $30 to $300 or more. While golf clubs can range in price from $100 to $1,000 or more. However, there are ways to get around paying top dollar.
One option is to buy used equipment. There are numerous online and offline sources where you can find gently used gear at a fraction of the original price. Another option is to buy factory seconds or blemished equipment. Factory seconds are items that have minor cosmetic defects but are otherwise in perfect working order.
Blemished items may have some sort of defects such as a scratch or dent but they still perform well. Both of these options typically cost much less than buying new equipment. The tennis rackets and golf clubs can be expensive because they are specialized equipment that is not necessary for everyday life.
The purpose of the tennis rackets and golf clubs is to improve the player's performance, which can result in increased enjoyment of the game and/or improved skills. Although the initial investment may be higher, in the long run, these items can provide a better return on investment than other leisure activities.
There are many reasons why golf courses are typically more expensive than tennis courts. Firstly, golf is a more difficult sport to learn and play than tennis. Secondly, golf courses require more land and maintenance than tennis courts. Additionally, the equipment necessary for playing golf is more expensive than the equipment necessary for playing tennis. Finally, there are simply fewer places to play golf than there are to play tennis, which drives up the cost of a round of golf.
The reason that golf courses are typically more expensive than tennis courts is that golf is a more difficult sport to play. The ball is further away from the player, and there are more obstacles in the way. Additionally, golf courses require more maintenance since the grass is longer and needs to be kept in good condition.
One reason golf courses may be more expensive than tennis courts is that they require more acreage. A typical 18-hole golf course takes up around 150 acres. While a tennis court can fit on a quarter of an acre. Golf courses also need to be landscaped and typically include features like water hazards and sand traps, which drive up the cost.
When people think of expensive items, tennis balls, and golf balls may not be the first things to come to mind. However, both of these items can be quite costly, especially if someone is looking for a top-of-the-line option. In addition, other accessories, such as golf clubs and tennis racquets, can also be pricey. It is important to consider all of the factors involved when making a purchase, such as how often the item will be used and the quality of the product.
One of the reasons that tennis balls and golf balls can be expensive is that there are other accessories that can be costly. For example, golf clubs can be quite expensive, as can golf carts. Tennis rackets can also be pricey, as can tennis balls. All of these items can add up, making the cost of playing either sport more expensive. Some sports accessories can be quite expensive.
For example, a set of tennis balls can cost up to $10. And a set of golf clubs can cost over $1,000. Other sports accessories, such as baseball bats, soccer balls, and basketballs, also tend to be expensive. This is largely due to the fact that they are made with specialized materials. And construction techniques that make them more durable and consistent in performance.
Clothing, specifically tennis clothes and golf clothes, can be more expensive than other clothing. Tennis clothes are typically more expensive because they are made to be durable and provide comfort during long games. Golf clothes, while not as specialized, can also be more expensive because they are made to keep the wearer cool in warm weather and protect them from the sun.
Many people find that the extra cost is worth it in order to have clothing that is better suited for their activity. Clothing can be more expensive for different sports. For example, tennis clothes can be more expensive than golf clothes. This is because the fabrics and materials used for tennis clothes are often more specialized and designed to perform better in hot weather conditions.

Work to restore impacts incurred at the Thomson River Fishway, during the June floods is set to commence this week.
"The flood in June mobilised a lot of material, particularly in the Thomson River. We saw large quantities of debris, mostly rock, fill up and effectively close the fishway. As part of our flood recovery program, works over the next few weeks will see the fishway cleaned up and re-opened to migrating fish, over the spring period," said David Stork, Waterways Project Officer with the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (WGCMA).
"Over the next few weeks, we will have two machines on site, removing debris from the fishway and making it navigable once again. The crew will also do some repair work to walking paths impacted in June," added David.
The fishway was constructed and opened in 2019, allowing access to the upper Thomson and Aberfeldy rivers to native fish for the first time in a century.
The Thomson River is one of the region's most significant and ecologically important rivers, and the creation of a fishway to allow passage between the Gippsland Lakes to the Victorian alpine region is a state priority.
"We are keen to get these repairs done to allow fish to migrate upstream over spring. Since the fishway was completed in 2019, fish surveys have shown a return of migratory fish in the upper reaches, so we know the fishway is doing its job," concluded David.
On site work will commence in early October and, subject to weather, is expected to take between two to four weeks. Updates will be provided on the Thomson River Fishway facebook page.

This lath is post-1825-1835
This enlargement of 1999 photograph of debris from the collapsed north wall of the west end of the house shows lath that appears to exhibit circular saw marks, since the marks are all slanted at the same steep angle. According to Henry C. Mercer's 1923 article "The Dating of Old Houses", this style of lath was not available until circa 1825-1835, after the circular saw came into more general use.
The wire nails weren't used until 1883
Note the fallen nail near the bottom of the photo. It is clearly a modern wire nail. The chapter "History of Cut and Wire Nails" (1189 KB PDF) from the 1892 book "History of the Manufacture of Iron in All Ages" says "it was not until the year 1883 or 1884 that the wire nail came into the market prominently as a competitor to the cut nail..." Page 640 of the 1895 book "One Hundred Years of American Commerce" indicates that wire nails were not made in the United States until 1886. In my opinion, from other construction details, there is no way this houses was built contemporaneously with the use of wire nails; this lath has to be part of a remodeling job.
Other, older lath indicates that this sawn lath is a remodeling job
This remodeling theory is further supported by triangular lath (possibly split) and primative plaster was found at another location in the house. A close look at the triangular lath, and research on plastering in general, reveals that the triangular lath was evidently installed improperly. For plaster to stick to a wall properly, one has to leave big gaps between the lath so that plaster can flow through and form "plaster keys" that mechanically retain the plaster. The original triangular lath appears to be placed too close together to allow many keys to be formed, and evidently had to be replaced for this reason.
Where did this wall section fall from?
A careful study of these five photographs (one, two, three, four, five) leads me to conclude that a probable place that this wall section could have come from was from the upper floor, from the upper section of wall, between what is possibly a doorway and the northwest corner of the house. The other places where lath seems to have been on both sides of the wall either didn't fall, or may not have been intact enough before the fall to be this particular fallen section.
A careful study of the five photographs linked above shows that the lath on the outside of the north wall was badly weathered. In the enlarged photograph of the lath, the lath that is facing the camera is not weathered, while the lath on the side facing away from the camera appears weathered. From this, I suspect that the sawn lath was probably from the inside of the north wall, protected by the roof, and possibly recently protected by plaster.
There's something unusual about the corner brace in this photo. Half of it is roughly hand-hewn and half of it is planed smooth for the extent of where the lath is attached; click here for a more complete picture of the brace. I can't reconcile the fact that the lath appears to terminate where the hewn surface begins, with this being on the inside wall of the house. Wouldn't the lath have needed to extend to the corner of whatever the brace attached to, if it were inside the original part of the house? Why is the visible flank of the brace relatively smooth, yet not straight?
This lath is near another major remodeling job
The west end of the north wall of the house was the site of a later addition to the house. At least I deduce that it was a later addition, because part of the traces of the roof extend over the siding. If it had been a wing that was part of the original construction, the siding would presumably be added after the roof of the wing was built, and the siding would therefore terminate at the roof.
No Dating Mystery
This lath leaves us with no house dating mystery, even though it is post circa 1825-1835 lath that was apparently cut with a circular saw, because it was retained with wire nails that were not used in the United States until circa 1883-1886. There is no way that the original construction of this old house is contemporary with those wire nails. This sawn lath is therefore part of a remodeling job.

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) was started in 2006 by two American women who saw a need for a direct connection between citizens of coalition countries and innocent Iraqis who suffered from the consequences of war. They set up a Collateral Repair Project in Amman, Jordan, where many refugees were relocating during the height of the second Gulf War in Iraq. Much of CRP's early work was charity-related, but as the organization grew it ran numerous programs focusing on community-building, education, and trauma relief in addition to emergency aid.

(Thesis) M.Sc.
Date created
Author: Melczer, Stephen Ryan
The kernel method has proved to be an extremely versatile tool for exact and asymptotic enumeration. Recent applications in the study of lattice walks have linked combinatorial properties of a model to algebraic conditions on its generating function, demonstrating how to extract additional information from the process. This thesis details two new results. In the first, we apply the iterated kernel method to determine asymptotic information about a family of models in the quarter plane, finding their generating functions explicitly and classifying them as non D-finite. The second considers d-dimensional walks restricted to an octant whose step sets are symmetric over every axis. A generalized version of the orbit sum method allows for a representation of their generating functions as diagonals of multivariate rational functions, proving they are D-finite. In combination with current developments from analytic combinatorics in several variables, this yields dominant asymptotics for all such models.

Tour de France set to start in Basque Country in 2023
Baku, October 9, AZERTAC
The Tour de France is set to start in the Basque Country in 2023, with a final agreement between the Basque government and race organizers ASO said to be close, according to cyclingnews.com.
Meetings were held on Monday between representatives from different departments of the Basque region, which spans Spain and France.
In a subsequent press conference, Jean-René Etchegaray, president of the French Basque Country and mayor of Bayonne, seemingly confirmed the plans.
"Thanks to you, the Grand Départ of the Tour de France will be celebrated here," he said, according to Spanish media reports.
The president of the Basque autonomous community in Spain, Iñigo Urkullu, was less forthright, saying the discussions were still in their "initial stages". However, he did confirm that all parties were working towards hosting the Grand Départ in 2023.
"It's still to be decided the concrete location of the start and then the following stages in the area," he said.
The Tour de France started in Brussels, Belgium, this year, and will start on French soil in Nice next year ahead of another foreign Grand Départ in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2021.
The Tour last visited the Basque Country in 2018 for a penultimate-day time trial on the French side. It first visited in 1906 in what was the fourth edition of the race, with a stage finish in Bayonne, which went on to host another 29 stages. In 1992, San Sebastián in Spain hosted the Grand Départ with a prologue and road stage before the race headed to Pau in France on the third day.
According to Spanish media reports, Bilbao, the capital of the Basque autonomous community in Spain, is the most likely hub for the 2023 Grand Départ. The city has been keen to invest in sport in recent years, being one of the host venues for the Basketball World Championship in 2014, staging the rugby European Cup final last year, and being confirmed as the Spanish venue for football's Euro 2020.

Bloomberg Senior Commodities Analyst Mike McGlone Doubles His Forecast For Bitcoin Six Figures (BTC) price tag.
In a new interview with Kitco News, McGlone said Bitcoin adoption and demand appears to be gaining enough momentum to push BTC to $100,000 in less than three years.
"Here's the bottom line about Bitcoin. For me, it's a matter of time before it hits $100,000. The key fact is that, by code, the supply is going down. You can't change. Adoption and demand are increasing. Unless you expect it to reverse – which I don't think – I think it's going to accelerate. Every sign I see is accelerating. It will continue to appreciate, it's just a matter of time.
Right now, I think that's when the prices are very low. We should look back to the future [at this] as a very low price as we watch the NASDAQ bottom in 2002."
The analyst says he expects Bitcoin to benefit from a new chapter in the economy in which speculation is driven by more than the amount of money the Federal Reserve is printing.
"Those days are over. It's back to building strong businesses. No more zombie corporations. If you sink, you sink. Bankruptcy can be good, and we get out of it.
So that's the period I'm looking for. Once this period of cleaning up a bit of the excesses is over, we return to a world where number one, the USA, is completely dominant. Look at the United States, the world's largest net energy producer and exporter, and the world's largest net exporter of agricultural products. How did it happen? By embracing technology.
As of this writing, Bitcoin is changing hands for $20,082, flat on the day.

A new study out from Vanderbilt is sure to shake some feathers in the circles of people who believe that merit pay is necessary to motivate teachers to perform better (Merit Pay Found to Have Little Effect on Achievement). It creates one of the few times that I'm in agreement with a TEA official.
While the study showed that merit pay did not appear to be a great factor in student learning, I do want to emphasize the following paragraphs which were buried in the news report:
Mr. Mance of the Tennessee Education Association said the study confirms what many teachers and unions have long believed: that teachers are already hardworking. For this study to show positive results, he said, "you'd have to have teachers who were saving their best strategies for an opportunity to get paid for them, and that is an absurd proposition."
Researchers cautioned, however, that the Nashville experiment does not provide answers to many other questions about incentive pay. For instance, it wasn't designed to test the hypotheses that pay incentives might serve as a draw to a different population of teacher-candidates or as an incentive for other candidates to stay in the profession—thus potentially changing the quality of the teacher workforce.
"I personally believe that the biggest role of incentives has to do with selection of who enters and who stays in teaching—how incentives change the teaching corps through entrance and exits," said Eric A. Hanushek, a professor of economics at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. "The study has nothing to say about this."
And what happened to the teachers in the study? They had high attrition–just like normal teachers. Their students' achievement levels dropped in middle schools–just like any students. Indeed perhaps it's time we focus on the three big qualities of actual learning:
- The quality of the teacher in the room
- The amount of time spent in learning at the classroom and school level
- The willingness of a school and community to make #1 and #2 priorities.
Pay structure certainly has a place in this, but simple "merit bonuses" as motivators are not effective.

Joan Healy crossed one more item off her bucket list last weekend.
JOAN Healy crossed one more item off her bucket list last weekend.
The Bandon AC sprinter competed at the Olympic Stadium at the London Diamond League, part of the Ireland 4x100m relay team that also included her record-breaking younger sister Phil, Ciara Neville and Gina Apke-Moses.
They finished seventh in 44.23, an encouraging run-out ahead of next month's European Athletics Championships where Joan will race in the relay team.
'London was amazing,' the Ballineen woman said.
'To be invited to compete at a Diamond League is such a great opportunity, to be up against the best in the world, but to be in the Olympic Stadium in London was brilliant. Ever since the 2012 Olympics I've always wanted to compete there.
'This was my second Diamond League of the season. I ran an individual 100m in the Diamond League in Lausanne so I've had great experience over the last month.
'In London, we were there for a relay. We ran well, posting our third fastest time of the season so it was great exposure before the Europeans next month.'
This weekend Joan's attention is on the national senior championships at Morton Stadium where she will race in the 100m. She still has a chance to qualify in this distance for the European championships but will need to find a new personal best.
'I haven't raced as much as I intended to over the summer,' she admitted.
'In June, I picked up a niggle in my foot which slowed down my training a little.
'It was far from ideal, especially in the lead up to Berlin and considering I was hoping to qualify for the 100m. The standard for the 100m is 11.50 and I've run 11.57 this season.
'It's been a frustrating summer especially having run so fast during the indoor season, I would have expected to qualify easily.
'The closing date for the standard is this weekend at nationals but my main focus this weekend is to come away with the win. If the time comes then all the better. I will be going to Berlin anyway as a member of the 4x100m relay.
'I have plenty of competition this weekend, with the likes of the juniors who recently won silver in the relay at world juniors, so it will be an exciting race.
'I love racing at nationals and I always manage to find the form I've been looking for each year so I'm excited to see what I can do.'
Joan's sister Phil will compete in the 200m at the nationals this Saturday, and last weekend also raced in the 100m at the London Diamond League where she finished eighth in her semi-final.

Constitutional Problems of State Creation in Nigeria
The problems regarding state creation in Nigeria stems from the provisions of the Constitution on this subject. These problems could be categorized into two, and are briefly discussed below. First, the constitutional requirement for state creation as provided for under Section 8 of the 1999 Constitution is too difficult and unrealistic to fulfil.
Now, the problem that arises from this requirement stipulated by the provisions of Section 8 of the Constitution is this – by what means would the National Assembly ascertain the two third majority of the representatives of the area demanding the creation of new States?
This problem arises because each State in Nigeria has just three senators, which would mean it is impossible to obtain two-third majority of just one senatorial district clamouring for a new State. This is because such senatorial district might have just one senator with no possibility for two-third majority. How then does the Constitution intend that two-third majority of an area represented by just one senator would play out.
This is undoubtedly a complex and impossible mathematical problem — reminiscent of the mathematical complexity that played out in Awolowo v. Shagari where the question arose as to what the 2/3rd majority of 19 states of the federation would be.
It must however be mentioned that no one knows for sure how this may play out as this particular constitutional provision is yet to be demonstrated in over two decades of Nigeria's return to democracy since 1999. Thus, it is not hard to see why the issue of State creation in Nigeria has dragged on for so long due to stringent constitutional requirement for such.
A similar problem of interpretation of two-third majority, although to a much lesser severity, bedevils the ascertainment of two-third majority of the House of Representatives members, House of Assembly members, and the Local Government councils in respect of an area clamouring for State creation.
Thus, it is unclear whether the requirement that a request for state creation be supported by a two-third majority of legislators of the concerned area, refers to just the area demanding for a new state. If this is the case, a constitutional problem might arise because since each state of the federation is entitled to only three senators, then an area clamouring for a new state might cover just one senatorial district represented by just a senator.
How then can request for creation of new states be forwarded by just one senator? This appears clearly to be an absurd provision. Absurdity of statutory provisions however, is no stranger to the constitutional law. It refers to any statutory provision which when literally construed, can produce an absurd or illogical result.
On this point, the American case of Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States is very instructive. According to the court:
'Frequently words of general meanings are used in statute, words broad enough to include an act in question, and yet a consideration of … the absurd results which follow from giving such broad meanings to the words, makes it unreasonable to believe that the legislator intended to include the particular act…'
The foregoing best describes absurdity in statutory enactment as is evident in Section 8 of the 1999 Constitution. However, absurdity in statutory provisions is a justification for the court's interpretation of a provision in a way that does not result in absurdity. This is what is known as the absurdity doctrine. To be sure, the absurdity doctrine rests on a judicial judgment that a particular statutory outcome, although prescribed by the text, would sharply contradict society's "common sense" of morality, fairness, or some other deeply held value.
As Chief Justice Marshall once put it, the doctrine authorizes judges to avoid results that 'all mankind would, without hesitation, unite in rejecting.' The absurdity doctrine therefore serves the important legitimate function of solving the problem of statutory generality where such generalist interpretation could result in deeply troubling outcomes.
Taking a cue from the pronouncement aforesaid, it is deducible that Section 8(1) of the 1999 Constitution exudes absurdity, and this is not a desirable thing in law. As a result, recourse might be made to judicial interpretation of this provision in line with the powers of the court under Section 6 of the 1999 Constitution.
But considering the delay associated with judicial process in Nigeria, resorting to the courts at such an early stage of the process of state creation is likely to militate against the entirety of process of state creation. Therefore, one of the first constitutional problems associated with state creation in Nigeria is the absurdity of Section 8(1) of the 1999 Constitution.
Secondly, the subjection of the referendum decision of an area clamouring for a new state to the approval of all other states in the federation, is another major constitutional problem. This could be antithetical to democratic values because the wishes of the people clamouring for a new state as expressed in their referendum vote, may be upturned by other states of the federation. At any rate, it is unlikely that other states of the federation would approve of the creation of a new state.

This is especially true of the extant state from which the new state would be created from. This is because creation of a new state from an extant state, is likely to reduce the financial earnings of the latter. Moreso, some political office holders in the extant states might lose their official positions as a result of the creation of new states. Thus, this provision is problematic as it constitutes a stumbling block in the realization of the yearnings of deserving groups for their own littoral state.
Despite the foregoing, it may be counter-argued that since state-creation affects every other state of the federation on the basis of economic and political devolution, there exists a justification that the Nigerian legislature must make sure that the country has sufficient resources to cater for a new state.
Moreso, since democracy is about majority vote, if majority of members of the National Assembly are opposed to the new state, it is analogous to saying majority of people in the country are equally in opposition.

Although the vitality of these counter-arguments cannot be missed, the point must nevertheless be made that the subjection of the wishes of a group of people for a littoral state of theirs, is likely to create feelings of dissatisfaction and ill-will among such groups of persons.
In view of the foregoing, Section 8 of the 1999 Constitution requires an urgent review to simplify the process of state creation in the country. This is not to say that leeway should be granted to every group clamouring for state creation, but in a bid to pre-empt needless agitation for state creation, the legitimate agitations of deserving groups should not be ignored under the guise of a cumbersome process.
