Reducing Network Complexity and Boosting Performance with IRF Technology
[ Source: HP ]
August 2023-
The fundamental nature of networking is changing, especially in enterprise data centers. With new, integrated applications deployed against large scale, highly virtualized server farms, server-to-server center communications are demanding a completely new level of intra-data-center performance. Traditional three-tier networks - designed to support data-center-in/data-center-out traffic and built using legacy, poor-performing redundancy protocols - can't deliver the server-to-server capacity required for these types of workloads. One innovation is Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF), a technology that ...

Using bath tubs for planters
Hello I was wondering if any one had any advice about setting up a vegetable garden using repurposed bath tubs. Hoping someone here has done this and can offer some advice/information/tips. Thanks!!
Sounds like a great idea, as long as you leave the drain cracked open at the bottom. And as long as you don't need to move it.
What are those tubs made out of -- porcelain? What does the summer heat or winter cold do to that material? Guess it wouldn't be that different from a glazed clay pot, but I'm not sure. If direct summer sun on the tub increases soil temps an incremental 50 degrees or something, you might need to be concerned.
Because there's a large amount of surface area with only 1 small hole at one end, one would need a soil mix that water flows through as fast as it can rain. Otherwise, you will have a tub of drowned, rotted plants.
On the bottom inside, some kind of wire mesh or similar, sitting on rocks or bricks between soil and tub, would give water a way to escape over the whole surface area, where it should be able to run out the drain fast enough. I might even do a layer of landscape fabric over the mesh, to make sure sediment can't get through to clog the drain space I've bothered to create.
Is the placement in question, or already decided?
Follow the timing schedule for your area, for whatever plants you'd like to have. For most veg plants, timing is the key.

Most likely outcome, you'll be arrested, easily convicted of a felony in the District of Columbia, given probation, and prohibited from owning firearms.
Im just wondering how the cops will arrest a few thousand people? Im also assuming theres going to be an idiot that fires a shot for no reason.
Seems like a dream come true for the gun control advocates.
Especially if/when things don't go to plan.
I have yet to figure out how this march could be a good thing or what positive outcome will result. I hope they get only a handful of marchers.
They have planted moles at other rallies. I'm sure they already have the buses rented.
This is very bad idea.

Originally we built out a service on Rails that used static strings with embedded expressions (#{}) for values like the datetime of an object. These strings were used to build communications to other users.
We want to provide a way for our users to customize default text with embedded expressions.
They are currently scattered throughout our models, controllers and views, but we want to put them all in one place (like localization, but it is different per user).
Our initial thinking is to use MongoDB (via MongoMapper) to create a customization document that stores the strings. Then we can continuously add new strings without doing a migration.
We would store the string as something like this:
"Testing out a string at #{object.datetime}."
Later a user can use a form we have to edit these strings for their use (isolated from other users).
Then when we want to use the string we would either replace the #{} with a value or somehow tell the embedded expression evaluate then.
Question: how do I later calculate a string with embedded expressions after it is defined? Is there something like to_sym for creating symbols?
Is there a better way to do this?

The interaction of two selected isolates of Botrytis cinerea with bean suspension cells and bean leaf discs was compared in relation to levels of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI). Isolate B 1.7 was arrested by a hypersensitive-like necrosis of bean leaf tissue. According to its inability to spread and produce conidia on the bean leaf tissue it was classified as non-aggressive. The second isolate induced a fast expanding light brownish necrosis of the leaf tissue. It was able to produce conidia on bean leaf discs and was classified as aggressive. The generation of superoxide was followed biochemically in inoculated bean cell suspensions. Both isolates induced a similar early superoxide peak approximately 18-h post inoculation (hpi). While the non-aggressive isolate induced a much stronger secondary superoxide burst at 33 hpi, the level of superoxide of suspension cells inoculated with the aggressive isolate was below the control level. This is the first report on the occurrence of a biphasic oxidative burst in plant cells induced by a fungal pathogen. Such a suppression of superoxide generation was also observed in bean leaf discs inoculated with the aggressive isolate. An oxidative burst-suppressing agent was extracted from inoculated cell culture medium and determined as 2-methyl-succinate (2-MS) by GC/MS analysis. The compound was detected approximately 20 hpi in the aggressive fungus–plant interaction. 2-MS was able to suppress the hypersensitive response-like necrosis on leaf discs as well as the second superoxide burst in suspension cells when inoculated with the non-aggressive isolate. The early superoxide burst at 18 hpi was not affected. The results confirm the important role of enhanced production of ROI in plant resistance reactions, also for a necrotrophlike B. cinerea.

The Space
Situated 100 m from S.Spirito square, comfortable and nice flat with one big bedroom, king size bed, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Completely restructured, with washing machine, pc, internet, tv, dvd reader and heaters. The staple is the little and pretty terrace on the internal court. The kitchen is entirely available and well-appointed.
The flat is in a strategic point, a few steps from the most importants turistics sites, famously served by public transports, 15 minutes walking from the central railway station S.M. Novella; in a few meters you can find anything you need, there's 2-3 little supermarket far at all and a big one about 10-15 minutes walking, many little shops and restaurants and every morning there's an outdoor market in S.Spirito square.
Since, as notorious, Florence is a big Reinassance protagonist, the historic center is mostly composed of ancient buildings (like ours place, built at the end of 1400), that's why, as for the majority of this buildings, there's no elevator and the flat is on the 4th floor...a way to be in fine form! :)
Despite you're in the center of the city, full of restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs, the place is very silent.
It's a real experience in the heart of Florence's most genuine quarter.
Dear guests,
check-out is strictly at 11 AM.
In case you might need to leave the luggage in the flat, ask it in advance.
In that case, please, pack all your stuffs and leave all your bags in one spot with in 11AM in order to leave the flat avaible for cleaning.
Thank you for your comprehension!
Great apartment and location. Looks just like the pictures. About 10-15 minutes walking to all the major sites in Florence.
Gaia and Victor were great hosts and answered all of our questions.
Warm welcome,helpful suggestions and directions.Comfortable apartment,fully equipped kitchen.Neighborhood not flooded with tourists,Multiple options for dining and buying groceries within 2 blocks,short walk to Ponte Vecchio,Uffizi etc.We were thrilled with our stay and would rebook with Victor and Gaia when we return.
We loved staying at Victor and Gaia's flat! The neighborhood is great; convenient to everything we wanted to do. We felt like true Florentines in our lovely and cozy space. They left lots of information about where to shop and eat which was very helpful! Be prepared for a bit of a climb, but it is so worth it when you get to your "penthouse".
We stayed in Vic's flat for three nights, and it was a wonderful experience for us in this fabulous town of Florence. I would say it is indeed a lovely place in a lovely town. Everything is provided just as you would get from your own home. And the host Vic greeted us at the door and help us with our luggage, and was very helpful in informing us the utilities. And the location is not far from everything while within a gentle district of residence. I say this place is highly recommended.
Gaia made us very welcome to the very comfortable and well equipped flat which provided for all our needs very well indeed. The flat is in very easy walking distance to the Ponto Vecchio, Santo Spirito and all the sights with plenty of shops to buy supplies very close to us. The restaurants, too, were in very easy reach. We loved, particularly, Casa Linga, which is very popular with the locals and always busy, always a good sign. We were very keen to have some cartufo (truffles) on the menu and Gaia did some research and helpfully pointed us in the direction of one that was just around the corner and enjoyed the delights of white truffle there! Both black and white was on the menu. It was a great base from which to enjoy Florence and we would thoroughly recommend it.
Victor and Gaia were absolutely wonderful hosts! The apartment was spotless, huge and very well located for sightseeing in Florence. We had no problems at all and the hosts kindly contacted us in the middle of our stay to check everything was ok. Would definitely recommend this apartment to others looking for a quiet and central location. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Although I never met Victor and Gaia as they were out of Florence during our stay, they had arranged for a lovely friend to meet us. The apartment was clean, organised and location superb. Everything within easy walking distance. Victor and Gaia kept in touch via text throughout our stay to ensure that all was well and left some great local tips. This apartment was a real find and I hope to meet our hosts in person in the future as they were most thoughtful. Thank you Victor and Gaia.
We're a couple, both living in Florence. Usually Victor is a stage builder and carpinter, Gaia a bookbinder and book restorer. In the last years we traveled a lot around the world, that's why we started to rent our flat in Florence. Then we decided to take a chalet in Ibiza with our friend Tommy: he's florentine and lives there since 5 years, he has a Pizzeria in Santa Eulalia. Victor is 36 years old, Gaia is 32, Tommy is 29. We love the life and try to live it at our best. We both don't use any social network.

1) The windows key or the home key takes you back to the home screen
2) enter key selects highlighted app or buttion
3) pg up/pg down acts as it does on windows I.e. scrolling up or down
4) the little menu button next to the right alt and right ctrl brings up the menu of android...I.e. on the home screen pressing this key will bring up the shortcut for adding widgets changing wallpaper accessing settings etc
5) holding down the windows key will bring up the recently open apps
So far this is what I've found. If I find anymore I will add to the list. If anyone comes across anymore shortcuts feel free add

said evaluating device operates the robot in said operational area and blocks operation of the robot in said danger area.
19. A robot in accordance with
said monitor area is a danger area where one of said plurality of links or said robot hand is prohibited;
said another monitor area is an operational area for said monitored joint;
said evaluating device operates the robot in said operational area and blocks operation of the robot in said danger area.
20. A robot in accordance with
said cams are selectively adjustably positioned around said monitor axis.
The invention relates to a device for monitoring the area, region or range of a robot, monitoring taking place of at least one area of a rotary movement about at least one robot axis.
Hitherto for the area monitoring of robot axes use has been made of conventional methods with components which involve contact, such as in particular mechanical cam switches. Such cam switches and associated evaluations are complicated and costly. In addition, such components are subject to high wear, so that there is a high monitoring and replacement need. In addition, they are also subject to malfunctions. In the case of such a monitoring with mechanical switches and relays with forcibly guided contacts it is not possible achieve a desirable electronic programmability and variability of the areas to be monitored.
Therefore the problem of the invention is to provide an area monitoring in which the aforementioned disadvantages are overcome.
In the case of device in the aforementioned type, the problem is inventively solved in that initiators or switches cooperating with part annular cams positoned coaxially to the axis being monitored are provided and the initiators are connected to an evaluating device.
Thus, for solving the problem the invention provides for the use of electronic initiators, such as in particular electronic proximity switches, which are connected to an evaluating device. In an extremely preferred development with each area to be monitored, consisting of a release or working area and a danger area, there are at least two independently operating initiators so that high security and safety are obtained. The two initiators can be permanently monitored with respect to their functional efficiency by the evaluating device. The invention provides for an area monitoring for robot axes with a secure and safe technology by means of which the axis-related movement areas for the individual robots can be blocked in order to protect persons and material. However, the device according to the invention suffers the high demands made on the safety of monitoring circles for personnel protection.
In a preferred further development, grooved strips arranged coaxially to the axis about which a movement is monitored are connected to cams and that with each cam is associated an initiator.
According to a further development with an area to be monitored is associated an initiator operating as an opener and an initiator operating as a closer. In a preferred development a danger area of a monitoring area is protected by an initiator operating as an opener and/or a release area of a monitoring area is protected by an initiator operating as a closer. A preferred combination of the aforementioned construction is characterized in that an initiator operating as an opener is associated with a cam corresponding to a danger area and an initiator operating as a closer is associated with a cam corresponding to a release area for the same area to be monitored.
According to further developments of the invention the cams are retained by two-part cam end pieces, whose lower part is positively retained in the grooved strip in radial movement and whose upper part is connected to the lower part and the lower and upper parts can be braced against one another for non-positive fixing on the grooved strip and also braced against the latter.
In another development according to the invention a cam is fixed between two cam end pieces and it can also be provided that a cam is connected to the cam end pieces by threaded pins.
Another preferred construction of the invention is characterised in that the initiators are adjustable and fixable relative to the cams associated therewith both radially and in elevation parallel to the axis with respect to which the cams are coaxially arranged. In a further development there is an at least two-channel monitoring for each area to be monitored.
Finally, according to the invention, there can be a combination of an area monitoring of the movement of the robot and an access monitoring with respect to the robot.
Further advantages and features of the invention can be gathered from the claims and the following description of an embodiment of the invention with reference to the attached drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1 A rear view of a robot in which the invention is provided.
FIG. 2 A side view of the lower area (base, carousel, rocker arm articulation) of a robot.
FIG. 3 A vertical view of the carousel plate of a robot and the device for monitoring the A1 axis.
FIG. 4 A representation for interpreting the monitoring areas about an axis.
FIG. 5 The fixing of a cam on a grooved strip.
FIGS. 5a-c The fixing of cams on a grooved strip and the association of initiators with the cams.
FIG. 6 A view of an end cam.
FIG. 7 A side view of a rocker arm with grooved strips and cams, as well as associated initiators.
FIGS. 8a, b A view corresponding to arrow VIII in FIG. 7 of the upper area of the rocker arm and arm of a robot.
FIG. 9 A diagrammatic representation in connection with the combination of area monitoring of the robot movement and access monitoring.
The invention relates to a conventional robot 1, such as an industrial robot. The latter has a base 2 connected firmly to the floor, a carousel 3 rotatable relative to the base 2 about the vertical Al axis, a rocker arm or link 4 articulated to said carousel and pivotable relative thereto about the horizontal A2 axis and a robot arm or link 6 pivotable relative to the rocker arm about the A3 axis. As further elements of the robot 1, FIG. 1 shows a first motor 3.1 for driving the carousel 3 about the A1 axis located in a support structure 3.2 for the rocker arm 4, a weight compensation 3.3 for the rocker arm 4 articulated between the latter and the carousel 3, a second motor 4.1 for moving the rocker arm 4 about the A2 axis and a third motor 6.1 for moving the arm 6 about the A3 axis.
On the back of the arm 6 there are three superimposed motors, whereof only the upper motor 6.2 is shown, serving to drive the hinged robot hand not shown in FIG. 1 with its three axes A4 to A6.
A holder for proximity switches for the movement about the initiators monitoring the A2 and A3 axes is 4.2, whilst 4.3 is the control line for these initiators.
FIG. 2 shows in the lower area a robot of this type in a side view corresponding to arrow II of FIG. 1 and in greater detail.
To the circumference of the carousel plate 3.3 (FIG. 1) are fixed grooved strips 3.4. In the embodiment shown they are in the form of two semicircular grooved strips, which together completely surround the carousel plate 3.3. To the grooved strips 3.4 are fixed cams (further description hereinafter), which are pivotable together with the carousel 3 relative to the base 2. On the base 2 are provided a holder 2.1 for the cams of the initiators 2.2 associated with the grooved strip 3.4. The support structure 3.2 for the rocker arm 4 carries a bearing 3.6 for the same. Around a bearing ring 3.7 surrounding the bearing 3.3 are fitted grooved strips for cams for monitoring the movement of the rocker arm 4, which are not shown in FIG. 2 and are explained in greater detail hereinafter with reference to FIG. 7 ff.
FIG. 3 shows a carousel plate and constructional elements of the carousel 3 are shown in broken line form thereon. Around the carousel plate 3.3 are located the grooved strips 3.4, to which are fixed cams 3.8 in a monitoring area and with the same are associated the initiators 2.2 held by the holder 2.1.
FIG. 4 diagrammatically shows the area for monitoring the movement of a robot or more precisely its carousel 3 about the A1 axis. The length of a cam 3.8 and consequently the angle covered by it is a function of the size of the monitoring area U. The resulting monitored danger area G comprises the angle of the monitoring area U and a further angular range B for the braking path of the robot of approximately 30� in the case of a maximum speed. The robot braking path is a function of its mass moment of inertia. The thus defined danger area G is protected by a proximity initiator acting as an opener.
The release or clearance area F within which the robot can function incorporates an angle between 360� and the angle determined in the danger area G. It is protected by a cam corresponding to its angle. The total cam length is always 360�. The release area F is monitored by a proximity initiator acting as a closer.
Thus, for as long as it �sees� the cam in such a way that the switches, relays, etc. for the power supply of the corresponding drive, here of the motor 3.1 for movement about the A axis, the initiator allows a power supply for the release area F, whilst in the case of a robot movement out of this area it permits a stopping of the corresponding drive, optionally in as far as further conditions are fulfilled, such as e.g. the opening of access to the area in which the robot is operating, such as its work compartment. The initiator acting as an opener and monitoring the danger area G permits driving for as long as it does not see the cam associated with it. If the cam associated with it moves into its area, it places the switches, relays, etc. in a position leading to or permitting a stopping of the corresponding robot drive, provided that the further conditions mentioned are fulfilled. The proximity initiator for the danger area G and the proximity initiator for the release area F are switched in such a way that if the robot moves out of the release area F into the danger area G and this is detected by one of the two switches, a stopping of the robot drive is permitted or optionally brought about if further conditions exist. The function of the initiators can be permanently monitored in per se known manner.
FIG. 5a shows the fixing of the grooved strips 3.4 to the carousel plate 3.3 or an outer circumferential area thereof, shown in broken line form in FIG. 5a. Firstly to the carousel plate 3.3 are fixed part annular segments 3.11 by means of screws 3.12, such as hexagonal socket-head screws. The grooved strips 3.4 are also fixed to these segments 3.11 by screws 3.13, such as hexagonal socket-head screws. In the area to be monitored, the cams 3.8 (FIGS. 5c, 6) are fixed by end pieces 3.14 to the grooved strips 3.4. Each cam end piece comprises a lower part 3.15 and an upper part 3.16, which are interconnected by means of a screw 3.17. The lower part is positively held in a groove of the grooved strip. For as long as the screw 3.17 is not firmly tightened, the cam end pieces 3.16 can slide along the grooved strip 3.4. By tightening the screw 3.17 there is a reliable non-positive fixing. Between the cam end pieces 3.14, as is shown in detail in FIG. 6, is held a cam 3.8, which is connected to a cam end piece by a threaded pin 3.19.
An initiator 2.21 to 2.26 is generally associated with each cam 3.8. As for an area to be monitored (comprising the danger and release area) two cams are provided, whose total circumference covers 360� and with each of these cams is associated an initiator, e.g. 2.21 and 2.22 (FIG. 6), such a first area is monitored by the two said initiators. The same applies in FIG. 7 for initiators 2.23, 2.24 for monitoring another area, in which the cams are arranged differently relative to the first area and optionally have different lengths and finally for the initiators 2.25 and 2.26 for monitoring a third area. In the construction shown in FIG. 5b it is possible to monitor three different areas with in each case different danger and release areas.
It is important that the initiators, e.g. in FIG. 5c initiator 2.26, is located level with the associated cam 3.8 and has a predetermined spacing with respect to its outer end face, because on the one hand the initiators must not contact the cams and on the other a maximum spacing must not be exceeded. The setting of the radial spacing of the initiators relative to the free outside of the radial spacing and therefore the radial clearance on the initiators relative to the free outside of the cam can take place by means of a setting gauge with a predetermined thickness. The gauge is inserted between cams and initiators. The initiator is then moved against the cam until it is just possible to extract the setting gauge. The initiator (2.26 in FIG. 5c) is fixed in its radial position by adjusting and tightening lock screws 2.3. As a function of the manufacturer, the gap a can be between 2 and 3 mm.
It is also important that the height setting of the initiators coincides with the associated cams, i.e. the centre axis of an initiator, such as initiator 2.26 must have relative to the median p lane of the cam, such as cam 3.8 in FIG. 5c, a larger than preset displacement or offset b over the entire angular and length range covered by the corresponding cam 3.8. The height displacement b must generally be no more than 0.5 mm. The height of the initiators is set by means of a holder 2.4, which is displaceable along its orientation or alignment and therefore relative to the median plane of the cam.
FIG. 4 shows devices 4.3 and 6.3 for the area monitoring of the movement of the rocker arm or robot arm 6 about the A2 or A3 axis. Here again there are grooved strips 4.4 or 6.4 around the particular axis. As can in particular be gathered from FIG. 8b, said strips are not fixed radially, but instead by axially parallel screws 4.6 (or corresponding screws for the grooved strip 6.3) on the particular bearing ring about the A2 or A3 axis. In the manner described in connection with the device for area monitoring for the movement about the A1 axis, the grooved strips 4.4, 6.4 carry cams 4.6 or 6.6 and initiators 4.8, 6.8 associated therewith and which are fixed to the rocker arm 4 by means of holder 4.2. The strips 4.4 and cams 4.6 are firmly placed on the bearing ring 4.5 for mounting the rocker arm 4 on carousel 3 and the grooved strips 6.4 with cams 6.6 are arranged in non-rotary manner on the robot arm 6, so that cams 4.6 and 6.6 are pivotable.
FIG. 9 shows an example of a release circle for a monitoring area. Release contacts 8 for access to the robot work compartment, such as e.g. release contacts of a door are switched in parallel to the release contacts 9 of the robot area monitoring security relay associated with this area. The lines 10 lead to the power switching elements for the power supply of the drives.
If a robot, i.e. its robot arm 6 with the robot hand 7 is located in the area or vicinity of a protective device, such as a protective door, a pencil of light, etc., then the movement release of the robot for said protective door area must only take place when said door is closed. If the protective door is opened this leads to the immediate stoppage of the robot. If the robot with its arm 6 is not in the protective door area, the proximity initiators on the cams are set in such a way that the proximity initiator with the function of a closer undergoes damping and the proximity initiator with the function of an opener is not damped. The security relay gives a two-channel release. In the case of such a robot position the protective door can be opened without the robot being rendered stationary. Only when the switching state of a proximity initiator changes with the protective door opened e.g. by the robot moving into the area of the latter, does the security relay drop out and the robot is immediately stopped.

6 Cookbooks That Helped Me Save Money Without Clipping Coupons
Cookbooks You'll Love
Years ago, coupons played a significant role in my money-saving strategies. However, once we paid off our all-consuming debt, I decided to ditch the processed foods and work more to improve our family's diet. That meant that coupons were no longer a great fit for me. (While there are health-food coupons, the practice of clipping every coupon that came down the pike was no longer the best one for me, either for time or nutrition.)
Instead I turned to a number of cookbooks that help me save money and feed my family well. These are some of my favorite resources — books that are fun to read as well practical for helping us eat well and stay in the black.

Although Queensland state public employees could still take their morning and afternoon tea break, under cost-cutting measures initiated by the new state government, they must bring their own tea and coffee sachets.
The belt-tightening measure seeks to save the state government $100 million. Other measures to reduce costs include the removal of indoor plants from some departments and an order to step serving food at meetings. However, the caterers would still serve tea, coffee and orange juice during official meetings and functions.
The ultimate goal of these corner-cutting initiatives is to reduce Queensland's $85 billion debt left by the administration led by past Premier Anna Bligh.
If the costs are not reduced, directors-generals will be held accountable by the new Queensland government. The spokeswoman of new Premier Campbell Newman said all ministers were ordered to spend wisely taxpayers' money, but assured state employees it did not put in place tea police.
The cost cutting on plants was made after records show that Queensland spent in the last financial year more than $900,000 on plants billed by state-run nursery GoPlants.
However, private plant contractors questioned the removal of plants, citing studies that indoor plants improve productivity by 12 per cent. Besides cutting GoPlant's lifeline, the Queensland government which took over from the previous Labor-led administration, also cut by half the budget allocation for private plant contractors.

Rae, "I want to convey to you how much I appreciate your guidance and practice in helping us focus inward and listen to our bodies. I push myself constantly at work and in my work outs and when I first tried yoga I learned that slowing down is hard, that "pushing" isn't always the answer, and that yoga (unlike most other things in life) is not something you can muscle your way through. The benefits of yoga, and a teacher with the patience to guide us type A's through the practice, have changed my life. I am more able to relax both on and off the mat and am more in tune with my body. Yoga continually surprises me. For example, when you placed blocks under my knees the other day in class and my initial thought was, "I don't need those," but once the blocks were there my body relaxed deeply, almost instantly, and once again I was humbled. Yoga challenges me to accept that my brain is not always in charge and to trust and listen to my body. Thank you Rae for guiding me in that practice you have a true gift. Namaste — Nicole"

A public meeting on a proposed six-storey hotel and three one-storey buildings on a site south of Appleby Line and Mainway Drive saw a company come forward in opposition to the project.
Joe Tomaino, development and approvals manager with Walker Industries, told the Development and Infrastructure Committee Monday night a hotel is not compatible with the area.
He said the company is concerned about the hotel's response to operational noise and the resulting implications to the Norjohn Transfer Station.
"The majority of the development we have no issues with, but we do not feel the proposed hotel is a compatible use with the adjacent waste transfer station," said Tomaino, who explained the distance from the rear of the proposed hotel to the Walker Industries property line is about 90 metres.
"… Our concern is we're operating a waste transfer station and there could be some nuisance because now you're introducing a use that's 24 hours."
According to its website, Walker Industries offers a range of environmental waste options for private, public and government agencies, as well as waste disposal and recycling for industrial, commercial and residential customers of southern Ontario. One of its clients is Halton Region.
"Walker has recently entered into a 10-year agreement this April 2014 with the Region of Halton to 2024 for the receipt of the haulage of residential blue box and green cart material collected through the curbside programs," said Tomaino, who was the only delegate Monday night. "…The region and Walker are presently exploring additional opportunities to expand the facility to initiate additional community recycling initiatives to better serve the community and increase diversion."
The 1215 Appleby Line site is designated mixed-use corridor-employment under the Official Plan.
The current zoning of mixed-use corridor-employment allows a range of retail and service commercial uses.
However, rezoning is required to add a hotel and a bank, as well as allow reduced parking.
The applicant is proposing 162 parking spaces, while the required amount is 172.
There is no staff recommendation at this point in the planning process.
Mike Greenlee, a senior planner with the city, said prior to the concerns expressed by Walker Industries, the applicant – listed in the report as 2145489 Ontario Inc. — had expressed a preference for the placement of the hotel at the rear of the site near Appleby Creek.
Greenlee said he is optimistic a solution can be found through upcoming meetings with the various parties.
"Understanding tonight what the issues are for Norjohn, we're going to meet with them and talk further about those issues and try and get some dialogue between the applicant and Norjohn and find ways to make this project go ahead," he said.

As the current lockout threatens to go from weeks to months and the off-season programs from delayed to nonexistent, the bigger question facing the country's most popular sport is this: Will the games that are played be NFL quality?
Imagine an off-season where players are absent from a conditioning program, organized team activities and minicamps. Then imagine a training camp that features a cross section of athletes whose physical conditioning will range from excellent to embarrassing.
It could be a disaster.
"We talked a lot about that," said former Green Bay Packers strength and conditioning guru Dave Redding, who retired in February, fully turning over the reins to associate Mark Lovat. "Some guys who don't have structure are going to have problems.
"I'm not naming names, but you're going to have guys who shut it down and don't do anything. Then when they come back, I think you'll see an issue in training camp. The bigger linemen will have more problems. You'll have muscle pulls and more fatigue injuries. You'll see issues with hamstrings and quads."
Under coach Mike McCarthy, the off-season conditioning program and subsequent OTAs have been as important to the season as training camp. McCarthy stressed having full participation in on-site training and was successful in getting even older veterans to stick around town for a good part of the off-season.
Perhaps the most effective part of McCarthy's program was the development of young players, particularly rookies and practice squad players. Last year, McCarthy leaned a lot on his rookie class due to an injury epidemic, and many of them developed faster than they could during an off-season.
But there remains a group of young players who because of injury or lack of playing time would benefit greatly from being around the program right now. Among those players are safety Morgan Burnett, end Mike Neal, linebackers Brad Jones and Frank Zombo and tackle Marshall Newhouse.
Then there are others such as running back James Starks, end C.J. Wilson, lineman Nick McDonald, cornerback Josh Gordy, tight end Andrew Quarless and receiver Chastin West who have a chance to make big strides before heading into training camp.
"We'd like to have that off-season," McCarthy said recently. "We feel the off-season program's a strength of ours. It's so important for players to go from Year 1 to Year 2. That's where you make your biggest gains."
Redding was instrumental in developing a program that stressed football-type movements and prepared players for a quick transition to training camp. Once camp began, McCarthy was able to focus more on teaching his system than getting his players in shape.
Last season, McCarthy didn't have any players who reported out of shape and were required to do extra conditioning before being cleared for football activity. In the week leading up to the intrasquad scrimmage, only four players had suffered muscle- or joint-related injuries.
If the lockout lasts until the summer and players are left to train by themselves, the odds of such a clean start diminish greatly.
"Guys who don't do as much running, lifting and stretching will have their problems," Redding said. "One third of the guys will do what they're supposed to do. You won't have to worry about them. One third, with a little badgering and convincing, they're OK.
"One third would just watch TV."
It's unclear how long the lockout will last and how much it will cut into the off-season program.
Due to the Super Bowl run, McCarthy didn't plan on starting his off-season program until mid-April. If a federal judge deems the owners' lockout illegal and business resumes as usual, the Packers will be no worse for the wear.
But if the lockout continues all the way to training camp or beyond, wide-ranging changes will be required to account for the lack of football activity. Training camp will be a throwback to the days when players actually used it to get in shape.
"They're going to have to be very careful in training camp," Redding said of the worst-case scenario. "You'll have to be more sensitive to injury, and it will last all summer. If there's no off-season training and no OTAs, you'll have to be careful.
"It will be hard to keep guys healthy. Playing football gets you in shape to play football, that's why OTAs and football movements are so important."
Redding said he had no doubt that many players would work as they normally do with their personal trainers, but the group activity they took part in at the facility provided structure and consistency in the way they trained. When the players get back, the coaches will be challenged to structure practice so that it fits the many different levels of conditioning they'll see.
McCarthy already had plans to structure his training camp in such a way that it taxes the players less than it did in previous years, but that was based on the 24-game schedule the team endured last season. Throw in the lockout and McCarthy will have to be particularly creative in coming up with a workable schedule.
"I've already adjusted that," he said. "I'm in tune with it."
The one thing he can take solace in is that the rest of the league will be working from the same lockout-related disadvantage. No teams are going to arrive at training camp the same way they did last year, if the lockout goes deep into the summer.
"Right now, you just plan for the absolutes," McCarthy said. "The other things are hypotheticals."

During my 35-40 minute drive (both ways) to work everyday, if I'm not getting my Louie DeVito on, I'm usually listening to one of my favorite talk radio stations- 96.9 WTKK, Boston's Talk Evolution. In particular, I often listen to Michele McPhee and her Outrage of the Day. Granted she hasn't updated her blog in a while (you can easily find her on Facebook, however), but every night Michele will do what can only be described as passing a kidney stone while she goes off on whatever she's outraged about that day.
Similarly, I too have instances during the week where I'm outraged. Accept in my case, I tend to have an uncontrollable urge to throw a chainsaw at someone's head for saying, writing, or doing something stupid.
You know, stuff like this:
Is it me, or is that guy's ACL crying? Nope, that's just my soul.
Anyways, I started the Morning Cup of Vomiting in My Mouth as a tribute to McPhee's Outrage of the Day. It's been a while since the last installment, so lets get right to it.
A friend of mine (Joey Taraborelli, a strength coach located near Providence, Rhode Island) sent me this link to an article last week. Long story short, a woman approached him to see if he would be willing to go over her strength training schedule as she prepares for her first half-marathon. She handed Joey the article (linked above), and needless to say, he was awestruck at how awful the information was. To quote him:
After you pee your pants laughing, you might want to include this as a blog next week about all these runners getting atrocious advice from these so-called "strength training for runners" experts.
In the article's defense, it is a bit outdated (circa 2000), and the author does touch upon some valid points that I completely agree with. Specifically:
1. Runners need to improve their speed- that is to say, it's not about who can go the longest; it's about who can finish the race the fastest.
2. Runners should incorporate strength training as part of their routine- I've actually done two interviews on this topic, HERE and HERE.
Um, that's about it. The rest of the article, sadly, just goes on to perpetuate many of the common exercise myths that one would expect to hear from an article sub-titled All You Need For Strength is a Can of Soup.
Some of my favorites:
I'm sure I could go through again and pick out 22 more things that are equally vomit worthy, but I don't want to beat a horse while it's down. Besides, I have like ten minutes before athletes are going to walk through the door, and I have to put my pants on. Or do I? On that note, have an awesome weekend everyone!

A reader wrote in with a very interesting observation on dating and marriage:
Submitted by Anonymous on December 23, 2013 - 8:50am.
"For a while I had a profile on a married and dating website. Most of the men I saw were in their forties and fifties. Mostly sane average Joe's. What struck me as strange was the expectations these men had. They (almost to the man) expected fidelity from their married girlfriends. They also wanted their girlfriend to be available on the weekends and weeknights even though the girlfriend also had a family. Needless to say, there was a lot of lying going on!
One of the happiest marriages I heard of was an arranged marriage. The two people involved knew they would have to work through a lot of differences so when the honeymoon period was over, they got down to the work that was the real relationship and became very close. They accepted that being together required compromise and communication.
I am now married over twenty years and am happy to do the work that is required to keep a happy marriage going."
The reader brings up the radical difference between the predominant marriage style of 2013, the Companionate marriage, and the older Patriarchal marriage model. The Patriarchal marriage model in America emphasizes rigid roles that each partner fulfills regardless of romantic feelings to achieve the common goal of economic success and the perpetuation of the family through the generations by procreation. The Patriarchal marriage is still practiced in 2013 in America's rapidly growing Islamic community. Former Houston Rockets basketball star Hakeem Olajawon described his Islamic arranged marriage that strictly follows the patriarchal model. "There is no dating process, no boyfriends and girlfriends in Islam," said Olajawon."Families meet, talk, get to know one another. Then the marriage is arranged." Marriage is a lifetime commitment regardless of each partner's emotional happiness or romantic feelings.
In the early part of the last century, the Patriarchal marriage model underwent another American Revolution. During this era of Suffragette/feminist intellectual thought, when women fought for the right to vote, the Companionate marriage model emerged, which emphasized men and women as co-equals. Romantic love was now not only necessary during the courtship selection of partners but was mandatory to keep the two equal partners together after the nuptials. In a radical change from the Patriarchal marriage model, a fulfilling sexual relationship was required during the life of the Companionate marriage. With no defined roles to follow, daily communication was vital in delegating roles among equals, including child-rearing.
Historian Jeffrey Weeks observed that with the advent of the Companionate model, marriage was "no longer the sacred and permanent bond it was intended to be." Why not divorce once the romance has flickered out of these companionate marriages? Actress Gillian Anderson, star of The X-Files, dumped her husband after 3 years of marriage "because he bores her and she feels stifled in the marriage."It seems that after a daughter was born the initial steamy passion cooled and Gillian's personal fulfillment was threatened.
This is a common result of the companionate marriage. Both partners expect so much more out of each other that in a patriarchal marriage, and both are so powerless to give their dissatisfied and frustrated partners what they yearn for, because the requirements of the companionate marriage are so subjective. Whereas a patriarchal husband merely had to "Bring home the bacon" and his spouse attend to her considerable domestic duties to satisfy the letter of the marriage law, companionate marriages require such ethereal notions as "intimacy, companionship, someone to understand us and be a soulmate." Once the ephemeral emotional high of a relationship fades from the companionate marriage, there is often little in the eye of the beholder to keep the couple together. All that remains of these spent unions is attorney services, court dates and the continuing search for the relational Holy Grail.
The key weakness of the companionate model of courtship and marriage is the requirement of honesty. If both partners are candid in their courtship, there is a strong possibility they will choose to marry based on a full disclosure of the strengths and weaknesses of both partners and enjoy a personally fulfilling heterosexual relationship.
Unfortunately the 2013 version of the American Companionate model of courtship and marriage is not practiced in honesty. Parents and the media are not instructing our sons and daughters of this stringent requirement of full dislosure in dating before committing to one another. Without the prerequisite of transparency, women are just as bad off, if not worse, than they were in the "enslaving" patriarchal marriage system. At best they end up with strangers for mates in marriages and cohabitations that have no permanence. At least with the patriarchal model of marriage the woman had a steady mate for life who would provide financially for her family and provide guidance to their children as an important male role model. Now many women end up in poverty after the ephemeral marriage ends. Men likewise feel victimized by dashed romantic dreams and antiquated alimony and child custody laws. Dr. Helen Smith's new book "Men On Strike" documents the rage many men feel about the effects of the failure of the companionate marriage model.
It is no wonder that our Muslim community and our reader's friend have chosen to practice the more reliable if less enlightened Patriarchal marriage model. However, we are not advocating such a return to the days of yore with arranged patriarchal marriages. We believe Americans can return to enjoying mutually fulfilling companionate marriages by correcting today's mutated courtship style.

Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.

Early access isn't the problem with Steam any more, it's that anyone can get absolute trash published to the store to quickly scam some quick money out of idiot consumers.See The Slaughtering Grounds which caused a minor incident when the developer had a complete breakdown on youtube.
Notice how he says "Just Cause 3 is not a free to play game" and not "Just Cause 3 has no micro transactions"They're putting the WORST kind of IAP into a full priced retail video game. It's absolutely deplorable behaviour and I steadfastly refuse to support this bullshit cash grab.
MOBAs are the new MMO. Everyone sees how sucessful Dota and LoL is so they try to copy it. But it suffers from the same problem that in the 2 years it takes to make a brand new MOBA nobody is going to give a shit because everyone is already playing dota.
Borderlands MOBA? Who fucking cares
Witcher MOBA? What the fuck are you even doing?
The black bars look like shit. They don't feel like they add tension to the game. They just feel like they're detracting from the player experience.
