The tragic near-sinking of the Costa Concordia in Italy has the world's attention riveted on the safety of cruising, the condition of cruise ships, and the training and experience of cruise captains. That's just the way things work: tragedy focuses attention and perhaps reform.
We saw the same thing happen in Minneapolis in 2008 when the I-35 bridge collapsed and lives were lost. Bridge safety became a priority in Washington, DC and for the nation. And the Federal government provided the funding on an immediate basis to rebuild the bridge!
While the catastrophic collapse of a lock and dam may not impact human life to the degree these two tragedies did, our nation's waterways navigation system is in danger of just such a breakdown that will surely affect our fragile economy.
According to recent Army Corps of Engineers' data, 58% of the locks and dams on the waterways system in the United States have outlived their 50-year design life. The commercial operators of the system and shippers know this to be true when routine, scheduled closures are now equal to unscheduled, emergency closures across the system.
Something must be done to recapitalize this critically important infrastructure that returns a multitude of benefits to the American economy and to our overall quality of life.
One of the most important advantages the waterways provide is family-wage jobs; the economy, our prosperity, and jobs remain the priority for our nation and for its recovery.
Waterways Council is concerned with jobs as well, and through its Inland Waterways Capital Development Plan, which we are hopeful will be moving through Congress at press time, offers a way to put American workers back to work building locks and dams. In fact, there are currently more than 25 navigation projects already authorized by Congress that could begin employing U.S. workers over the next two decades. That is $8 billion in authorized but unfunded projects ready to go! The most important advantage our waterways can bring to America is these family-wage jobs. An investment in our nation's lock and dam system today will surely provide for a more prosperous tomorrow.
Increasing our exports will also grow our economy, and as the expanded Panama Canal readies to open, shippers are preparing for increased product demand. U.S. waterways and ports need to be ready, too, in order to provide connectivity for the Canal.
America's inland waterways system is like the silent workhorse of our country's export market, transporting about 50% of grain and oilseed exports by barge (2009 statistics). Domestically, it is vital as well, moving 20% of utility coal (inland and coastal) and 15% of petroleum movements by water (inland and coastal). Countless aggregate materials are also moved on the inland rivers for everything from housing construction to sand and salt for keeping our roads safely open in winter.
At press time, industry should learn the amount of a cost over-run of the Olmsted Lock and Dam project on the Ohio River. Originally authorized under the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1988 at a cost of $775 million, the Corps of Engineers has warned of a "significant" cost increase above the already current estimate of $2.1 billion. The inland waterways industry pays for half of the cost of this project -- and the many over-runs -- through a 20-cent- per-gallon fuel tax that goes into the Inland Waterways Trust Fund (IWTF). (*)
The Olmsted project is yet another example of why the present business model to complete navigation projects is, like the lock and dam system overall, broken.
So as Congress returns to the nation's capital, let's urge them to get to work by passing the Inland Waterways Capital Development Plan and putting American workers back on the job.
(*) Cost over-run has since been release by the USACE to be $800 million.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

David Gilmour
6 March 1946, Cambridge, England. The solo career of Pink Floyds lead guitarist started in 1978 with a self-titled debut album. The material was recorded during a perilously long Pink Floyd hiatus and amid rumours of a break-up. The album was well-received and made a respectable showing in the UK and US charts. A second collection, the lesser About Face, arrived in 1984 after the official and acrimonious split of the band. During that year Gilmour was very active; he performed at the Live Aid concert with Bryan Ferry, and was later to play a major role in the recording of the singers 1987 collection Bête Noire. He also performed on Grace Jones bestselling Slave To The Rhythm. In 1987, Gilmour reunited with Nick Mason and decided to use the Pink Floyd title. As Rick Wright had also been hired it seemed legitimate, until Roger Waters objected. Gilmour has been involved in a subtle war of words with Waters ever since. Waters at present has lost...

The new home of
As you might expect from the ancestral home of Scotland's monarchs, Fife has a rich heritage and some wonderful historic attractions, as well as a stunning coastline, quiet beautiful countryside and one of the highest concentrations of top class golf courses in Britain.
This small county is packed with a great diversity of landscapes, extending from the Firth of Forth in the south which includes Dunfermline (Scotland's former capital) and the famous Forth Road and Rail bridges, to St. Andrews and the rural north. All along extends its eastern coastline with pretty bays, dramatic cliffs, Blue Flag sandy beaches and old fishing villages.
St. Andrews is well known for its golf courses and is home to Royal and Ancient Golf Course. But in addition the town, which is Scotland's oldest university town, has a charming old-world feel and is close to an expansive beach. St Andrews cathedral may be a shadow of its former self, but well worth visiting. You can spend hours exploring the history and admiring the views here.
Exploring to the south of St. Andrews the coastline is dotted with small fishing villages, such as Crail, Anstruther, Pittenween, East Nuek and St. Monans. The Fife Coastal Path extends along this coastline and is perfect for bracing walks and magnificent sea views, where if you're lucky you might see Grey seals, dolphins and basking sharks. Boat trips are available from Anstruther to the Isle of May where many sea birds nest at certain times of the year.
Of note is Falkland Palace, which was a rather regal holiday home for many Stuart monarchs, including Mary, Queen of Scots. Beautifully maintained, you can explore the palace and gardens at your leisure – including Britain's oldest tennis court. Also of interest are Kellie Castle and Garden which dates back to the 14th century and contains fascinating interiors and lovely wooded gardens.
For those looking for an active holiday Fife has plenty of activities for all ages from great walking and biking trails to horse riding and clay pigeon shooting to first class water sports.
If you're ready to begin your exploration of the region take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Fife.

Keep checking back here to find out where the next DERF Happy Hour will be!
DEAR BATHROOM GUY - If Bathroom Attendants went on strike would people stop using the bathroom?
Yes. I have seen many studies that indicate most people would stop using the bathroom for as long as possible if there was a Bathroom Attendant strike. People are very loyal to their bathroom attendant. This fact gives Bathroom Attendants a lot of power. If the bathroom industry ever begins to mistreat it's workers, we have the power to bring the industry to its knees.
Because of my high profile in the business, many people who work in the bathroom industry have sought my assistance in resolving employment disputes. Up to this point I have never recommended a strike. I have always found a way to negotiate terms that are beneficial to both sides. I believe in honest negotiation. In one case a bathroom worker felt he was being unfairly asked to provide his customers with a lower quality paper towel. I examined the paper towel and agreed the quality was substandard. Although I understood the employer's goal to save costs, I was able to explain to the employer that the substandard towel quality would cause the customer to use another bathroom thereby resulting in reduced profit. My logic convinced the employer it would be in his best interest to offer an upgraded paper towel selection.
When asked to provide counsel regarding employment and labor issues in the bathroom industry I believe it is prudent only as a last resort to implement a labor strike. We all know strikes can be long and costly processes. Let's face it, we love our jobs! The last thing any Bathroom Attendant wants is the painful experience of knowing some other less qualified guy is in his bathroom trying to take care of his customers. Personally I cannot imagine going through something like that and I pray I never have to.

The claws are out! Hugh Jackman is fighting fit and ready for action as he takes his muscly superhero to Japan in new Wolverine film stills
It may have been more than 12 years since his muscly version of the short tempered superhero burst onto action hit film X-Men, but Hugh Jackman looked in as good shape as ever in new film stills for the new Wolverine film.
The 44-year-old actor is pictured in what appears to be a Japanese garden, sporting an all-black outfit and looking ready for action with his character's long and dangerous claws out.
Hugh will reprise his role as mutant Logan/Wolverine for the sixth time - and the second in a film revolving around the character.
Ready for action: New film stills show Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in what appears to be a Japanese garden
Other new stills from the forthcoming picture promise a similar dose of action to the franchise, with Jackman photographed soaked to the skin in the rain on a ship, looking at what appears to be a robot.
Another picture shows him in the snow against a backdrop of Japanese houses and red lanterns.
The plot to the hotly anticipated film has been kept closely under wraps but is believed to follow Logan travelling to Japan where he engages in a fight from a character from his past.
As well as training with a samurai warrior, Logan will fight against the Yakuza, a corrupt minister of justice, and he will watch his fiancé fall into the arms of his enemy.
Robotic: One still shows Jackman's Wolverinme coming across a mysterious entity on a ship
Snow bound: Hugh is seen in his superhero guise investigating a snowy Japanese town
With a reported budget of $100million, director James Mangold has opted to begin the film where 2006 movie X-Men: The Last Stand ended.
X Men: Origins Wolverine was released back in 2009 and followed the beginnings of the character, as well as introduce Marvel comic favourites The Deadpool and Gambit.
And Jackman was interested in setting the film in Japan, even before the 2009 film was released.
'There are so many areas of that Japanese story,' he told MTV that year, referring to a story originally told in the comic.
Back with a vengeance: Hugh Jackman looks super ripped as Logan in an official photograph from The Wolverine
Between a rock and a hard place: Hugh Jackman shows off his bulky pectorals in one shot where he appears to be in a cave
Six pack: The role gives Hugh the chance to show off his muscly figure and toned torso
'I love the idea of this kind of
anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world - I can see it
aesthetically, too - full of honour and tradition and customs and
someone who's really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way,' he mused.
'The idea of the samurai, too -- and
the tradition there. It's really great. In the comic book he gets his
ass kicked by a couple of samurai -- not even mutants. He's shocked by
that at first.'
Jackman has been steadily building his fitness levels up in order to prepare for the role, and spoke to Dwayne Johnson for advice on how to bulk up.
The former professional wrestler advised him to eat six meals a day and gain a pound a week for six months by consuming 6,000 calories a day which consisted mainly of chicken, steak and brown rice.
'It's not easy for me,' Jackman told Entertainment Weekly. 'Because I'm actually quite long and lean.'
Body mass: Hugh lost weight to play the role of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, but has bulked up massively for The Wolverine
Here we go again: Hugh, pictured in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, has played the tole of Wolverine seven times now
Jackman has also said that the tone of the new film will be different from the first Wolverine instalment.
'I'm thrilled the studio called it The Wolverine instead of Wolverine 2, because we're trying to set it up as a standalone picture,' he told Total Film magazine.
'Tonally, it's different from the other X-Men movies. It's got massive action sequences, as people would expect, and it'll be great fun.
'But it is a character-driven movie. It's about a guy completely out of his element, in this world that's foreign to him, and how he copes with that. I feel like we have the opportunity to deliver that badass, kick-ass Wolverine I know everybody wants to see.'
The Wolverine will arrive in UK and US cinemas on July 26.
Must try harder: X-Men Origins: Wolverine failed to gain critical acclaim but did well at the box office

DeeLay v1.3.0 WiN MAC RETAiL
SYNTHiC4TE | July 25 2016 | 3.7 MB
The DeeLay is a good sounding vintage digital dub delay, it's capable of common delay duties and it's also up to the most demanding creative tasks. The vintage button gives the DeeLay that typical early 90s sound where digital was still imperfect and with a character of its own. The DeeLay can make endless feedback loops and changing the delay time changes the pitch of the buffer creating funny and interesting noises, the time parameter can be modulated with an LFO allowing the creation of futuristic wobbling sounds. Since the delay is digital it has all the robotic artifacts of modulated digital delays instead of the smooth action of an analog emulated delay. Try it on vocals, guitars or anything that needs space, the DeeLay will surprise you with it's spacey yet focused sound.

CLOSTER, N.J., Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericom Software, a global leader in application access and desktop virtualization solutions, today announced that the City of Panama City, Florida has chosen Ericom AccessNow to empower city employees with remote, browser-based access to mission-critical municipal and other hosted Windows applications from Chromebooks, laptops and mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones and Android smartphones and tablets. The solution, which is supported on Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and other HTML5 browsers, does not require Java, Flash, or any other underlying technology on the end-user device, and enables successful Chromebook and BYOD implementation.
Richard Ferrick, Network Administrator for the City of Panama City said, "My team is privileged with introducing the city to cloud computing and other technologies. Rolling out Chromebooks with AccessNow HTML5-based access presents a big asset to the City. We have been evaluating AccessNow on Chromebooks and other devices for remote access to various Windows-based apps and Google Apps for Government, and just love it."
Ferrick added, "The overall cost and ease of administration makes the Chromebook-AccessNow solution a winner. Our objective is to offer users simple and flexible remote access into our systems, from any location." Ferrick continued, "Using Chromebooks and other devices, our department heads and staff, including a team with the critical responsibility of monitoring lift stations, can attend meetings throughout the City, log in remotely and take care of business as if they're sitting in the office."
Brian Berns, Ericom Software's President and COO said: "With the City of Panama City as a new customer, we're thrilled that another government agency is benefiting from the combined Chromebook and AccessNow capabilities. A growing number of government, education, healthcare and other types of organizations find AccessNow to be of great value in facilitating quick and easy roll out of Chromebooks, BYOD initiatives and remote access in general. In addition, many sites which have been evaluating Chromebooks require our HTML5-based access solution to access Windows applications and desktops from Chromebooks and any other device types without having to install any software on the end-user device."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

|I am confused, are Japanese novels which are not "light" included in your question or are you referring strictly to light novels? Light novels are, unsurprisingly, quick reads. Granted, the only light novels I have read are Ballad of a Shinigami (volumes 1 and 2) and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. While they are light reads, if you live in the Western hemisphere they are ridiculously difficult to find (legally) and the companies which license them never finish them. Occasionally, they can be cartoony.

|I doubt anybody really cares, but if anybody is interested in contemporary Japanese literature, but doesn't know where to start; look up Huruki Murakami. He's a little more accessible then most Japanese novelists, due to his being heavily influenced by Western literature (mainly Vonnegut), but he's a good gateway.

|In modern Japanese literature (i.e. from the 50s and 60s rather than contemporary), I highly recommend Seicho Matsumoto's short story collection The Voice. Some of the stories have a light novel feel, but I think that's because he was a heavy influence on contemporary Japanese mystery writers. The book's a good gateway from light novels to more "adult" Japanese literature. (Plus it's a darn good read.)

Well, let's look at it from a medium perspective:
Manga: Japanese comic books
Anime: Japanese animation
Light Novels: Written word interspersed with manga illustrations.
To my understanding, light novels are so-called because they're not completely word-filled. Due to the inclusion of illustration, one might regard them as 'lesser' or 'minor' novels, and as such as typically marketed toward teenagers who might be put off by having to tackle a book-with-no-pictures. A crude generalisation, but it helps to get the point across.
A famous example would be the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which started out as a light novel, and was subsequently adapted into both anime and manga.
Novels are thus your run of the mill literature, and are targeted at any age group.

Then follow up Ryu Murakami (no relation) for a more extreme ride!
But more accessible perhaps are people like Yasunari Kawabata (Sound of the Mountain) and Junichiro Tanizaki (The Makioka Sisters).

|If you do get the chance to read japanese light novels make sure that they are fit to your taste, otherwise you won't very much spend your time reading them cause it takes a tremendous effort to actually up and read the whole thing without getting bored once in a while.

Allahabad HC seeks report on power supply in UP
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court on Tuesday sought a report from Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Regulatory Commission regarding electricity supply to districts in Uttar Pradesh.
The order was passed by the bench of acting Chief Justice Amitava Lala and Justice Anil Kumar on a PIL filed by Hindu Personal Law Board challenging 24 hours power supply in six districts, including Rae Bareli, Amethi and Etawah.
The petitioner, counsel Ashok Pandey submitted that uninterrupted power supply in Rae Bareli, Amethi, Etawah, Rampur and Kannauj was against the right of equality provided in the constitution.
The petitioner sought the direction from the court for 24 hours power supply to all religious places in the state and submitted that the image of UP was being maligned due to lack of power.
On behalf of the state government and UP Power Corporation Limited the petition was opposed saying that the role of SERC was also significant which should be looked into.
The court also felt that the response of the SERC may also be called upon.
Accordingly the court permitted the petitioner to make SERC a respondent in the petition during the course of the day and directed that thereafter notice should be issued to the commission.
The matter would be taken up for hearing on the date of next sitting of the acting CJ.
