Professional Development: the VRAF Internship AwardPosted: July 4, 2014 Filed under: Opportunities: Professional Development | Tags: awards, Internships, Professional Development, scholarships, Travel Awards, Visual Resources, VRA Leave a comment
Similar to (but different from) the VRAF Professional Development Grant is the VRAF Internship Award, which is a fantastic way to fund or supplement an un- or underpaid internship in arts and visual resources work.
The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) Internship Award provides financial support for graduate students preparing for a career in visual resources and image management. The award grants $4,000 to support a period of internship in archives, libraries, museums, visual resources collections in academic institutions, or other appropriate contexts.The recipient will receive a stipend of $3,000 for 200 hours completed at the host site. A professional development component of $1,000 supports conference attendance or attendance at the Summer Educational Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management. The recipient will receive a one year complimentary student membership in the Visual Resources Association.
Who May Apply
Students currently enrolled in, or having completed within the last 12 months, a graduate program in library or information science, art history, architectural history, architecture, visual or studio art, museum studies, or another applicable field of study may apply for this award. Applicants must have completed at least 10 credits of their graduate coursework before the application deadline, or demonstrate an equivalent combination of coursework and relevant experience.
I would strongly consider applying even if your (planned or proposed) internship is only tangentially related to visual resources or arts librarianship: metadata, digitization, conservation, rights management, administration, or plain old cataloguing.
Only one VRAF Internship is awarded per year. Once an award recipient has been selected, he or she will select an institution to act as host for the internship. This Institution must be approved by the VRAF Internship Award Committee. VRAF and VRA are not responsible for matching candidates with a host institution, but will gladly assist with the process.
This Internship Award will be granted during the 2014 to 2015 academic year. The intern is required to work on site at their chosen host institution for a minimum of 200 hours. The intern will choose to initiate their internship in the fall of 2014 or the winter or spring of 2015. The internship must begin within 30 days of the official beginning of the selected academic session of the participant's home institution and be completed within one academic semester or two academic quarters. Exceptions are allowed by agreement between the selected intern and the VRAF Internship Awards Committee. In all cases, the internship must be completed within twelve months of the recipient being notified of the award.
This language can be complicated: if you're a recent graduate, why would you need to start the internship within the beginning of a semester? (What's your "home institution" in that case?) Especially if the award isn't necessarily going towards internships for graduate credit? Unfortunately, I hold no answers for you; you'll have to work towards "agreement" with the awards committee.
To apply for the award, please submit the following:
- A current resume.
- A current transcript [this does not need to be issued directly from the institution].
- An essay of up to 300 words addressing the applicant's professional goals, expectations of the internship experience, and any skills or background that might benefit visual resources. A brief description of the proposed project is desirable.
- The names of two professional or scholastic references with address, telephone numbers, and email addresses.
- Recommended, but not required: Host institution and contact information of internship supervisor.
Application materials in electronic form are preferred and should be submitted as a single PDF file to:
Margaret Webster
Visual Resources Consulted
Phone: 607-257-3365
Email: email@example.com

ARLIS/NA Canada Call For Proposals: Book Chapters on Art Libraries in CanadaPosted: April 22, 2014 Filed under: Art History, Art Librarianship, Opportunities: Calls for Papers, Opportunities: Professional Development Leave a comment
Attention all Canadian art-librarian hopefuls! Here's a great project to be involved in, if you have worked at, or are interested in, one of the many art libraries our country has to offer. If you'd like to get published, do an interesting research project, and support the efforts of Canadian ARLIS members, take a look.
The first edition of the History of Art Librarianship in Canada: Essay in the History of Art Librarianship in Canada came out in 2006; the second edition would ideally come out in 2015, and needs to be expanded to include more libraries as well as recent developments. Some discussion about the project, and a short list of art libraries to be profiled, is in the 2013 Annual Report.
There are two deadlines for proposals: April 25th (if you'd like to have your proposal discussed in Washington next month), and May 30th (the extended deadline). I encourage you to send a query before April 25th, even if you can't complete a full proposal by that day.
The full CFP has more details, but here are some excerpts:
This initial project was generously sponsored and funded by the National Gallery of Canada Library and
Archives and first made available online in 2006. We would like to continue this tradition of excellence by
publishing a second edition that will include additional essays on libraries, institutions and related resource centres not profiled in the original publication.
We have compiled a list of libraries that could be included, but realize that logistically some may not be able to commit to a full research project of this nature at present. So the committee is eager to hear from you directly and encourages you to submit proposals for the second edition of the History of Art Libraries in Canada. Our hope is that your input will help us build the structure for this anthology of library histories.
It is understandable that histories will vary in length and include diverse types of documentation, so we
encourage any potential contributors to apply, even if primary supporting sources for your library's story
would be oral histories, memoirs, or other unpublished ephemeral information sources. As was the case with the first edition, the History of Art Libraries in Canada vol.2 will profile the establishment and evolution of collections, spaces, visual and information literacy services, as well as the profession of art librarianship in Canada.
The working committee is eager to profile as many libraries as possible, so we encourage you to submit
a proposal if you are capable of researching, documenting, and writing an essay within roughly the next year. Although an official publication date has not been finalized, we hope to have a clear picture of the libraries to be included by Spring 2014 and begin compiling and editing the publication by 2015.
If you are interested and can realistically work within this timeframe, please consider submitting a
proposal (Microsoft Word document preferable) that includes:
• Institution name;
• Primary author(s) name and job description or professional connection to the institution;
• Estimated length of text and a general overview of the content for the entry (roughly 250 words; a bulleted list of topics is acceptable);
• Whether rights-cleared images will be included for reproduction;
• General bibliography of sources.
Submit all applications by email to:
• Daniel Payne email@example.com
Canadian Member-at-Large, ARLIS/NA Canada; Head Reference & Instructional Services, Dorothy H. Hoover Library, OCAD University
Application Deadline:
Please endeavor to have proposals submitted by:
• Friday 25 April 2014 (so that results can be presented on Sat. 3 May at the ARLIS/NA Canada Chapter meeting at the 42nd annual ARLIS/NA Conference in Washington DC).
The committee realizes, however, that this leaves little time for preparation of materials and planning for research allowances, so an additional deadline will be offered for those that need an extended preparation time period, set at:
• Friday 30 May 2014

This is a great opportunity for membership participation via new worldwide online programming.
Our April webinar will focus on technology, innovation, and user needs. We've recruited an amazing panel of two experienced library industry leaders and a new professional to shed light on these issues in different parts of the world.

Free ALCTS e-forum: Library Linked Data, March 11-12, 2014Posted: March 4, 2014 Filed under: Opportunities: Professional Development | Tags: ALCTS, library data Comments Off
ALCTS E-Forum: Library Linked Data
March 11-12, 2014
Hosted by Theo Gerontakos, Brad Gulliford, and Jeremy Myntti
Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It's free and open to everyone!
Registration information is at the end of the message.
Each day, discussion begins and ends at:
Pacific: 7am – 3pm
Mountain: 8am – 4pm
Central: 9am – 5pm
Eastern: 10am – 6pm
Join this ALCTS E-Forum for a lively discussion on what linked data means for libraries. Linked Data refers to practices for publishing and linking data—cataloging data; research or government data; subject heading lists and authority files; and the riches of the World Wide Web. Using linked data methods (cataloging standards such as RDF, as well as Web protocols such as HTTP), the scope of the linked, and always further linkable, data space is incomprehensibly large—the potential is thrilling! The hope for libraries is that we can move our data into this massive data space and thereby increase the global interoperability of library data. Many benefits are anticipated!
Topics will include basic linked data definitions and information, current linked data activities in libraries, how workflows may change or have changed due to linked data, challenges with transitioning to a linked data environment, what will linked data mean for catalogers in the future, and more.
To prepare for the e-forum, the following list of resources are recommended for an introduction to the topic of linked data:
Carl S. Hess, "Linked Data In Libraries Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Web," April 26, 2012 (presentation): http://www.slideshare.net/carlstephenhess/linked-data-in-libraries.
Virginia Schilling, "Transforming Library Metadata into Linked Data," Research Topics in Cataloging & Classification: http://www.ala.org/alcts/resources/org/cat/research/linked-data.
Philip Evan Schreur, "The Academy Unbound: Linked Data as Revolution," Library Resources & Technical Services, volume 55, number 4, October 2012, pages 227-237:http://alcts.metapress.com/content/u63u261g73n7150n/.
Karen Coyle, "Linked Data Tools: Connecting on the Web," Library Technology Reports, volume 48, number 4, May/June 2012: http://alatechsource.metapress.com/content/m52426p206uu/?p=6b8f0d12b99b436cb71d95b10d587a33&pi=13 (requires subscription).
Theo Gerontakos has been a Metadata Librarian since 2002, and is currently Metadata Librarian at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is also currently Co-Chair of the American Library Association's interest group on Linked Library Data (ALCTS/LITA).
Brad Gulliford is a librarian in the acquisitions and collection development department of the library of the University of Texas at Arlington, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. His subject areas are most of the sciences and engineering, and he blogs at Scholarly communication, Open Access, Open Science (http://blog.uta.edu/~bradley/).
Jeremy Myntti is the Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services at the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library. He is responsible for optimizing metadata creation for the library's physical and digital collections as well as identifying innovative solutions for cataloging and metadata projects. Current research interests and projects that he is working on include authority control for digital collection metadata and transforming MARC and non-MARC metadata into linked data.
What is an e-forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum.
To register:
Instructions for registration are available at: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/sympa. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation is free and open to anyone. If you have any problems, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Free Webinar 10 March: Expressing Preservation Requirements on Audiovisual CollectionsPosted: March 1, 2014 Filed under: Opportunities: Professional Development, Visual Resources | Tags: audiovisual collections, digital preservation, webinar Comments Off
"Expressing Preservation Requirements on Audiovisual Collections". This is the third webinar in a series created by PrestoCentre and Presto4U on diverse topics related to AV digitisation and digital preservation.
This webinar is an introduction to expressing digital preservation requirements in the context of audiovisual collections, with a special emphasis on the approach followed by the Presto4U project. The webinar will start with the basics on what the requirements are, how they are created and for which purposes they serve. The webinar will then discuss how standards can play a key role in the expression of requirements for digital preservation and will exemplify the concept by showing how to use three standards: the OAIS reference model, the Ontology for Media Resources and the ISO/IEC 25010 System and Software Quality Requirments and Evaluation SQuaRE – System and Software Quality.
Date: Monday 10th March 2014
Time: 3.00pm – 4.00pm GMT/UTC (10:00am – 11:00am EST, 4:00pm – 5.00pm CET,7:00am – 8:00am PST)

First check the clutch hydraulic system. Is the reservoir low, if so, fix the clutch master and slave. A new clutch on your truck takes about 4 hours ( if it's 2 wheel drive ) and the parts run about $300. Be sure to re-surface the flywheel and replace the rear main crank seal.

WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT by Biochemical Method by: Me.hehehe BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS Biological reactions in water and wastewater treatment involve many different species of microorganisms. Bacteria carry out most of the reactions but protozoans also contribute in some processes. In some cases, higher organisms like worms and insect larvae play significant roles in the ecology of biological treatment processes. There are two basic forms of biological stabilization reactions whose occurrence is dependent upon the availability of dissolved oxygen. There reactions are called aerobic and anaerobic as illustrated in Fig. 5.1. BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS Aerobic reactions take place in the presence of free oxygen and produce reasonably stable inorganic end products with relatively low energy contents. Anaerobic reactions on the other hand occur only in the absence of free oxygen and are more complex because they occur in two stages carried out by different species of bacteria. Acid-forming bacteria initially convert complex organic compounds into organic acids and alcohols. At this stage, methane-forming bacteria convert the acids and alcohols into methane and other end products such as hydrogen sulphide. BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS The end products of anaerobic reactions still contain considerable amount of energy, notably in the form of methane which is a combustible gas. As there is a lower release of energy in anaerobic reactions, the synthesis of new cells is very much less than in aerobic reactions. Sludge quantities generated from anaerobic stabilization of wastewater is much higher than that from aerobic stabilization of the same wastewater. Anaerobic reactions are much slower and the stabilization for waste process also takes a longer time. Basic Concepts of Biological Growth In all biological reactions, energy in the organic substrate is split in three ways: 1. energy in new microorganisms 2. energy in the end products 3. heat energy BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS In biological treatment processes, the material to be stabilized provides the basic nutritional and energy requirements for its conversion into end products and new microorganisms. In the absence of organic matter, microorganisms can exist for some time because of the existence of auto-oxidation or endogenous respiration in which cells use themselves for survival. In endogenous respiration, which takes place continuously in a biological system, cells die and lyse to release organic matter and nutrients back into the system where they can be reused. BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS It is important to appreciate that biological systems are sensitive to toxic or inhibitory substances. Thus, although wastewater may contain a high concentration of biodegradable organic matter, the presence of toxic substances such as heavily metals could prevent all biological activity. Toxic substances can pose major problems if industrial wastewater are discharge into municipal sewers since they could cause serious harm to biological processes at the wastewater might also inhibit treatment of municipal wastewater with serious environmental consequences. Concepts of Biological Treatment As you can notice that although Fig. 5.2 relates to a batch oxidation process, is also illustrates a number of important aspects, which can be applied to biological treatment of wastewaters. The objective of most wastewater treatment processes is to remove as much as possible the organic matter in the feed. Achievement of this objective implies a relatively long residence time in the system and also relates to the point of maximum biomass or feed concentration, which can be equated to sludge production. In the biological treatment terminology, food and microorganism ratio is often discussed as explained above. When the treatment continues beyond the point of exhaustion of the external food source some cell products, notably cell wall materials, are not readily biodegradable, there will always be a sludge residue. Concepts of Biological Treatment With short contact times, the rate of removal of organic matter is high but only a portion of it will be removed. This means a lower sludge volume but also a poorer quality effluent. The concepts explained in Fig. 5.2 could be adapted to a continuous-flow system by equating the process as operating at a particular residence time on the time axis. Thus high-rate processes operate in the logarithmic growth phase with high removal but incomplete stabilization. Plants producing a high quality effluent need to operate close to the point at which the food supply is to be exhausted. With lower loading and longer contact times it is possible to reduce the sludge volume to some extent but at the expense of larger and more energy intensive units. Biological treatment is thus likely many other processes where a careful balance must be struck between often conflicting requirements. Concepts of Biological Treatment The of biological reactions is dependent upon temperature but cannot otherwise be significantly altered. It is, however, possible to reduce the liquid residence time in a biological treatment process by utilization of the absorptive properties of large number of microorganisms. Much of the initial removal of organic matter is by adsorption on to the surfaces of the biomass. Once this has occurred, the biomass can be left to oxidize the organic matter in the absence of the liquid. The extended retention time for the biological solids and the absorbed organic matter is achieved using purpose-designed reactors. These permit the establishment of large microbial populations in such manner that intimate contact with the organic food and the oxygen needed for aerobic reactions is assured. Aerobic biological oxidation systems can be classified as show in Fig. 5.3. Concepts of Biological Treatment It is worth stressing two facts, which apply to biological treatment processes in particular, although they also influence many other types of process. They are: The more highly loaded the treatment process, the more sensitive it will be to variations in feed strength and quality. The higher the required effluent quality, the greater will be the cost of the process. Kinetics of Biological Treatment We can understand the process of the growth by depicting it in mathematical formulation, which can help in design for such systems. In the zero order situations, the rate of reaction can be expressed as: dS/dt = K where: S= organic concentration t= time K= rate constant for the reaction Kinetics of Biological Treatment Most of the biological growth processes can be easily explained taking batch reaction example where we assume that there is no continuous and intermittent addition of organic matter. In such case, the rate of growth in a batch system without any external constraints can be given by: dX/dt= umX where: X= concentration of microorganisms um= specific growth rate Kinetics of Biological Treatment When the growth becomes limited by some external factor such as food concentration or nutrient availability, the growth rate can be expressed by a relationship termed the Monod equation: u= umS/(Ks + S) where: Ks= organic concentration at which u= um/2. Rotating Biological Contactors Developed during early part of this century, the RBC's are fixed film units in which the film is attached to rotating discs partially submerged. Is is mainly used for small communities in the form of factory built packaged plants. These normally include integral primary and secondary sedimentation zones although a coarse screen must be installed to prevent large solids clogging the system. A typical unit will have 20-23 discs, 1-3m in diameter and spaced at a distanced of 20-30 mm. The discs are usually made of plastic material and suppliers offer a variety of surfaces and geometries. Alternatively in place of disc, ropes have also been used to achieve better surface area for biological growth. The surfaces here are analogous to the surfaces of the stone media in conventional filters. Biological Aerated Filters(BAF) A relatively recent development in fixed film systems is the BAF unit, which exists in a number of proprietary forms. The units employ up-flow, down-flow or mixed flow regimes in beds of plastics, sand or expanded shale. The support media provide surfaces for the establishment of substantial bio-films and these are kept aerobic by the introduction of air into the base of the unit. Synthetically developed cells and suspended solids in the feed are trapped in the bed and removed intermittently by backwashing techniques. Depending upon the loadings and operational procedures, BAF units can produce nitrified or denitrified effluents. Biological Aerated Filters (BAF) Biological aerated filters have attracted considerable interest for installations where space is at a premium since they are compact and easily housed under cover. This means that some plants using BAF systems have been constructed in the basements of buildings in high areas where the land value is high. With efficient air circulation and deodorizing systems such plants can operate without causing any nuisance to the neighbor Aerobic Dispersed Growth Systems The microorganisms are grown in a reactor, which provides the appropriate conditions to encourage growth and enable contact with the food source. These types of system require a reactor tank or vessel, which provides intimate contact between the microorganisms and the food and to which the necessary aearation can be provided. To maintain contact between the microorganisms and the food, it is necessary to continuously mix the reactor. Conventional Activated Sludge The best-known dispersed growth wastewater treatment is activated sludge process. This process utilizes a high concentration of biological solids, often referred to as mixed liquor volatile suspended solids, which are kept in suspension by agitation caused by the introduction of diffused air or by mechanical means. The agitation ensures both the necessary contacts between the biological solids and the food source and the presence of adequate oxygen for the aerobic reactions. The process is operated on a continuous flow basis and as the treated effluent is discharged from the aeration reactor it carries with it the same suspended solids concentrations as present in the reactor. A final settling tank is thus an essential part of the activated sludge process in order to produce an acceptable effluent quality. High Rate Activated Sludge Similar to high rate biological filters, it is possible to operate activated sludge units at higher organic loadings but with sacrifices in effluent quality. With loadings of around 1.0 kg, BOD/kg MLSS d and MLSS concentrations of about 2000 mg/L, it is possible to achieve BOD removals of 65-70%. Under these conditions the MCRT is likely to be 2-3 days. Extended Aeration Activated Sludge A long residence time in a biological system should lead to a reduced level of sludge for eventual disposal. This is the basis of the extended aeration system, which uses a low loading of 0.05-0.15 kg BOD/kg MLSS and a MLSS of around 2500-4000 mg/L. This leads to a MCRT of many days, perhaps up to 50, with a somewhat reduced volume of highly mineralized sludge for eventual disposal. A fairly high degree of nitrification is usually obtained in appropriate temperature conditions. Extended aeration systems achieved considerable popularity some years ago in the form of factory-made packaged plants for small communities. Problems with poor effluent SS quality due to ineffective settlement and relatively high-energy consumption have resulted in RBCs now being more popular as packaged plants. Oxidation Ditches Oxidation ditches were originally developed in the Netherlands as an alternative to packaged plants for small communities. It involves a simple continuous unlined channel fitted with a horizontal aeration rotor. Wastewater is added directly to the ditch without prior settlement and the rotor, in addition to providing aeration also ensures a horizontal velocity of flow around the ditch. A conventional ditch operates at a loading of about 0.2 kg BOD/m3 capacity per day with a hydraulic retention time of about 24 hours. MCRT is usually about 25 days and the combined primary and secondary sludges are thus fairly stable. Nitrification can normally be achieved, except in cold weather. Larger, more sophisticated ditches tend to have loadings and operational characteristics, which are closer to those of conventional activated sludge units. ANEAROBIC SYSTEM For many years, anaerobic treatment has been used for the stabilization of the sludges produced from the primary and secondary treatment of wastewater. This is because aerobic stabilization of such high organic content materials would be very difficult and probably uneconomic. For similar reasons, strong organic industrial wastewaters, from food processing, brewing and distilling process, are sometimes best treated by anaerobic methods before discharging to the sewer or as a precursor to aerobic treatment for direct discharge to the water environment. ANEAROBIC SYSTEM Anaerobic reactions do not provide the same degree of oxidation as found in aerobic processes but they can give significant reductions in organic content with low sludge production and the generation of methane gas. The methane produced is a valuable fuel source, which can usually satisfy the energy requirements of the process and the excess energy available can be used for other purpose. ANEAROBIC SYSTEM The septic tank, which is widely used for the treatment of wastewater from individual properties in the absence of main drainage, employs anaerobic digestion to reduce the volume of solids settled out of the wastewater. A septic tank will usually remove about 40% of the incoming BOD and about 80% of the incoming SS. The anaerobic process results in a relatively infrequent need for desludging but it does not obviate that need and a sludge allowance of 0.05 m3/person/year is usually appropriate. NUTRIENT REMOVAL Eutrophication of lakes, surface water, including some coastal waters are very common phenomena, which we usually encounter in and around us. This phenomenon is noticed due to the presence of nutrients in wastewater effluents discharged to receiving water bodies leading to prolific algal growth, which can release toxic substances as well as cause anaerobic conditions to occur. Nitrogen in the form of nitrate is a significant pollutant in a growing number of aquifers and although techniques are available to remove it from drinking water they are not as yet fully satisfactory for environmental or economic reasons. Nitrogen Removal Many conventional biological treatment processes can be operated so as to produce a nitrified effluent but this does not reduce the total nitrogen content to anything like that required for effective nutrient control. It is, however, possible to achieve high overall removal of nitrogen by combining denitrification under anoxic conditions with nitrification under fully aerobic conditions. This is most easily achieved by denitrificaition of previously nitrified effluent. Phosphorus Removal Phosphorus can be relatively easily removed by adding lime, aluminum or iron salts to the raw sewage, to activated sludge mixed liquor or in the final clarification stage after biological treatment. The use of chemicals for precipitation of phosphorus produces a significant increases in the volume of sludge for eventual disposal so that biological means of phosphorus removal have also been developed. PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PROCESSES Toxicity Toxic or inhibitory constituents in their environment affect all living organisms and it is therefore important that such constituents in the feed do not restrict the performance of biological treatment processes. Toxins and inhibitors affect living organisms in different ways depending upon the concentration, length of exposure and other environment factors. In some situations, a sudden shock load of a heavy metal or complex organic substance may be sufficient to stop all biological activity and its continued presence can effectively prevent growth. In other circumstances, particularly if the contaminant concentration gradually increase, it may be possible for biological activity to continue although perhaps at a reduced level. Oxygen Availability With biological filters, aeration is provided by natural ventilation from the bottom of the bed. This is achieved by ensuring that the under drain structure is sized so as to maintain air passages even when the full wastewater flow is passing through the bed. For filter beds, which are partly below ground, it is essential that ventilation pipes be provided adequate ventilation to a filter bed will result in reduced performance since restricted oxygen supply will limit the rate of BOD removal. Oxygen Availability Activated sludge systems should be designed with ample aeration capacity to satisfy maximum load requirements and standby capacity should be available to cover maintenance or breakdown. Insufficient aeration capacity will reduce BOD removal and will prevent nitrification from occurring. Aeration in an activated sludge plant also provides the mixing necessary to keep the mixed liquor in suspension. Insufficient mixing will allow solids to settle to the bottom of the aeration basin and decomposes anaerobically with detrimental effects on performance.

Calathea problems, please help
I'm somewhat new to plants. I purchased a calathea (peacock plant) a couple weeks ago and I am now experiencing a host of problems. Please help me.
1. The leaves are browning in spots....I concluded that it must be a fungal infection and sprayed it with an organic fungacide last week. The brown spots keep happening. See photo.
(I also noticed, when the calathea folds up for the evening, that the stems on the back of the leaf also seem to be damaged.)
2. A few days ago, I noticed tiny (barely visible) white bugs crawling on the leaves. I'm not sure what they are...they don't quite look fuzzy enough to be mealy bugs and they move around too fast to be aphids. Can anyone help me? I purchased Bayer sticks but that is not arriving for two days.
I'm devestated that my beautiful calathea is having so many problems...
Image link:
The browning is quite likely to be just shock from a change in environment. Different light (too sunny), humidity or temperature. Plants growing in an environment adapt to it and can suffer when the environment changes suddenly. You chose a pretty tough customer for someone somewhat new to plants. These plants aren't the easiest things to grow, they are fussy about light drafts etc. I am not an expert on Calathea, but know they get a few leaf spot diseases. You can take samples and send them to your local extension service. It is somewhat pointless to treat with fungicide if you don't identify the problem. A fungicide that kills one fungus can have absolutely no affect on another. The bugs could be White Fly or juvenile leaf Hoppers but without Pictures of the bugs it is hard to tell. Look these two up on the web and see if they look like one of them.

A development studio called Allied Kingdoms claims their game Planet Pachinko is coming to WiiWare on Monday, January 12th.
The game pachinko is hot in Japan. Players gather in "pachinko parlors" to play for prizes on these machines, which are a cross between pinball and slots. Comical excerpt from Wikipedia on player etiquette:
"Next, it is taboo to ever touch another player's balls".
Back on topic, Planet Pachinko actually seems more like an action platform game, a frantic one at that - check out this gameplay video:

Enid Burns | August 7, 2006 | Comments
A new report shows a third of U.S. and European consumers would take their business elsewhere if your company experiences a security breach.
In the U.S. last year, over 52 million account records were reportedly stolen or misplaced; in 2006, reports of security breaches continue. The study, "Secure the Trust of Your Brand: Assessing the Security Mindset of Consumers," conducted by the CMO Council and Opinion Research, finds a quarter of consumers are increasingly concerned about the companies they do business with and will go elsewhere if they feel their personal information is at risk.
In the U.S., 30 percent of survey respondents said they have always been concerned about security. In Europe, 38 percent have always been concerned. A combined 60 percent of U.S. consumers are now a little, more, or very concerned about security, compared to 54 percent in Europe. Ten percent of U.S. and 8 percent of European respondents are unconcerned.
When selecting a brand, consumers rank a company's products and services (77 percent in the U.S., 74 percent in Europe); company treatment of customers (77 percent in the U.S., 63 percent in Europe); honesty and ethics (62 percent in the U.S., 48 percent in Europe); security provided to customers (33 percent in the U.S., 39 percent in Europe); employee treatment (28 percent in the U.S., 29 percent in Europe); environmental concerns (11 percent in the U.S., 25 percent in Europe); and social responsibility (11 percent in the U.S., 17 percent in Europe).
Though security ranks fourth, it can immediate affect the brand. Customers will back out of a transaction in progress if they feel threatened. "Security is what I call the 800-pound guerilla of reputation," said Jeffrey Resnick, EVP and global managing director of Opinion Research. Clearly, consumers are very concerned about security and when they have security issues during a transaction, they don't hesitate to stop the transaction. Consumers feel corporations have a responsibility to provide end-to-end security."
Personal experience makes consumers more on edge. A company has lost or compromised the personal, financial, or medical data of 53 percent of U.S. respondents and 47 percent of European respondents. Sixty percent of respondents have experienced computer security breaches, intrusions, hacking, or other disruptions, like viruses and spyware, at home in the U.S. That number is 70 percent in Europe.
"When a large portion of the population is saying they are getting phishing e-mails, it starts to make people wary about when they use the Internet," said Resnick. "It becomes a marketing mandate for companies to make sure their customers understand what security they have in place."
Consumers who feel threatened may look for other brands for products and services. Forty-three percent of U.S. respondents have stopped a transaction online, on the phone, or in the store at a point when they began to question security. In Europe, 37 percent of respondents said the same. If a company does experience a security breach, 36 percent of U.S. respondents and 29 percent European respondents would wait to see how the company or regulators respond. Thirty-four percent U.S. respondents and 37 percent European respondents would consider taking their business elsewhere. If a security breach happens, a company's response is tantamount to retaining its customers' brand loyalty.
"It is in the company's best interest to fully understand what their customer's security concerns are and address those through marketing actions as well as technology," said Resnick.
The report is the first in a series on the impact of security of corporate brands and brand loyalty. Data were compiled in the U.S. and Europe (the U.K., France, Germany, Spain, and Italy) via surveys conducted by Opinion Research from April 25 to May 7. The report was underwritten by Factiva and Symantec. Additional research partners include the Zyman Institute of Brand Science at Emory University.

An Athens man called police Friday after a man put a gun to his head because he asked the stranger to clean up after a dog.
According to an Athens-Clarke police report, a man was standing outside of his West Broad Street apartment when he said a Hispanic male and female walked by with a dog.
When the victim asked the man to clean up after his dog defecated, he told police the man became upset.
A thief cut open the door of a rental unit at Town Storage, 154 Old Epps Bridge Road, between June 11 and Monday and stole assorted tools, PVC pipe and flashlights, altogether valued at about $600, Athens-Clarke police said.
An explanation for the delay in making a burglary report was not given.
A Janice Drive resident reported Thursday that two young girls stole a Mini Rex rabbit from her fenced-in backyard that afternoon, Athens-Clarke police said.
The woman said the girls, who appeared to be between 8 to 11 years old, were at her home earlier in the day looking at her rabbits and asked if they could have one, according to police.
The woman explained that they couldn't because they were her pets. After leaving her home for a couple hours, she discovered the one of the rabbits was missing, police said.
Eric Rojohn Acklin, 35, of Hawthorne Extension, was arrested Thursday night after he stole nine bottles of Dove body wash from the CVS on Oglethorpe Avenue, Athens-Clarke police said.
A manager called 911 at about 11:20 p.m. to report that a man had stuffed the body wash into his pants then left the store without paying, police said.
Officers recognized Acklin from surveillance video footage of the theft. When they went to his home, he explained he traded the body wash for some crack cocaine, according to police.
The Oconee County Sheriff's Office reported the following incident:
SOLICITOR COMPLAINT: On July 31, a deputy was dispatched about 9:45 p.m. to a home on Eisenhower Avenue in Franklin Grove, a gated community off Monroe Highway, where a resident called to complain about a solicitor working in the neighborhood after hours. The deputy was familiar with the man, who drove a small SUV, due to other complaints of aggressive solicitations made against the man.
The Madison County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
HARASSMENT DENIED: On July 30, a Madison County woman went to the sheriff's office to report that a Barrow County woman had filed a report against her accusing her of harassment. The woman, who is married to the Barrow County woman's ex-husband, said she has not harassed the woman and she wanted to file a report accusing the other woman of making a false police report.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
DISPUTE: On Aug. 1, Deputy Chris Peters, was dispatched to a home off Old Ridge Road where a resident called animal control to remove some stray dogs. The officer was catching the dogs when two residents on the street began cursing at each other about the dogs being removed. The deputy arrived and separated the pair.
The Barrow County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
THEFT: On Aug. 1, a deputy was dispatched to Westbury Drive, Auburn, where a man reported some items stolen from his vehicle, including subwoofers valued at $500 and an amplifier valued at $300, the latter which was new and still in the box.
Athens-Clarke police said that a Lakecrest Drive man reported there was a prowler outside his home late Wednesday night.
The man went into the kitchen to fill a baby bottle at about 11:25 p.m., and when he switched on a light he saw a man outside the window who quickly ran off, police said.
The prowler was described as a middle-aged white man who was clean shaven and wore a black baseball cap and black-collared shirt.
Marquyse Donyell Grisson, 22, of Baxter Drive, was arrested on a street corner near downtown early Thursday by an officer who knew he was wanted on warrants for family violence offenses, Athens-Clarke police said.
The warrants charged him with battery and three counts of child cruelty, police said.

Yen Hui: What is fasting of the heart? Confucius: The goal of fasting is inner unity. This means hearing, but not with the ear; hearing, but not with the understanding; hearing with the spirit, with your whole being... The hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind. Fasting of the heart empties the faculties, frees you from limitation and from preoccupation. Fasting of the heart begets unity and freedom. Yen Hui: I see. What was standing in my way was my own self-awareness. If I can begin this fasting of the heart, self awareness will vanish.
