Hachiko-the most loyal dog who ever lived....
The world we live in today is a world of fast times and sometimes, even faster friendships. People come and go out of each other's lives in a dizzying whirl, words spoken, faces forgotten. This is what makes it even easier to appreciate those friends who have lasted, those who are near and dear to us. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I believe that sometimes, our animal companions are the most dedicated and loyal out of any human companions - the unconditional love we receive from them knows no bounds. So when I came across a story of an Akita dog whose love for his master was limitless, I had to write about it. This is the story of that dog - the story of Hachiko.
In 1925, Professor Ueno Elizaburo walked every day to the station to take the train to his job at what is now known as Tokyo University. His dog Hachiko accompanied him every day to the station. Of course, he could not go with the Professor to his job but every day at 3:00, when the Professor returned to the station, Hachiko was waiting faithfully at the gates for him, come rain or shine.
On May 21 of that year, Professor Ueno died of a stroke whilst at work. Hachiko was at the station that day, waiting for his master to come home. On this day he waited, and waited. Did he know something was wrong? I often wonder if he knew in his mind that his master would not return. But did this stop Hachiko from going to the station everyday? The answer is a resounding no.
Every day, for nearly 10 years, Hachiko went to Shibuya station at 3:00 and sat in the same spot he always sat in, waiting. He would wait until the station closed. Professor Ueno's former gardner and the stationmaster understood what the dog was doing and fed him and gave him shelter. Soon word spread of this loyal dog. The Japanese culture is focused on family and loyalty. Hachiko was seen as a prime example of what humans should aspire to. People began travelling to see him, to feed him, or just to touch his head for luck. On March 7th, 1934, Hachiko was found dead on the platform where he had waited for the Professor for so long. He had continued his pilgramage, even when old age and arthritis began to make it more and more difficult.
Hachiko's death made the papers in Japan nationwide and a day of mourning was declared. Contributions from mourners all over were sent in and a statue was erected in memory of Hachiko by famed sculptor Andeo Teru - placed in the exact same spot where Hachiko had waited all those years. The statue was taken down and melted for the war effort to make weapons. The amazing thing is, after the war Andeo's son, Takeshi made another statue, which is in the same spot and stands to this day. Hachiko can also be seen stuffed in Japan's National Museum.
I often think, would a human have done this for anyone else? We all have the tendency to be a bit selfish in our lives. It's human nature. It's also human nature to move on, "get over it". Hachiko had to know that something was not right. Yet day after day after day, he waited for his master to come home. Akitas are known to sometimes be indifferent, to do their own thing, to not have the pack mentality. Yet this dog thought of nothing but waiting for his master, and even when he never showed, he continued his journey. How many of us would have given up? How many of us would have become angry - where is he? I'm not waiting for him again! I think that Hachiko really believed that his master would return and he didn't want to not be there for that homecoming. The unswerving loyalty of this dog has moved myself, and countless others, to tears.
I know people who think animals are stuipid, here for our entertainment, simple creatures who don't understand much. How wrong they are. When my husband goes on a business trip, one of our cats mourns until he comes back. Animals are not simple creatures. They are complex with a range of emotions just like ours. Simply because they cannot speak it to us doesn't mean those emotions are not there. I defy anyone to read the story of Hachiko and tell me otherwise. For me, Hachiko is a true hero who should be celebrated by all. Loyalty and love like that are very hard to find indeed.
Rest in peace, little Hachiko. You have taught us all a lesson about what unconditional love really is. If everyone acted in the manner that you have, what a wonderful world this would be.

this story means a lot concidering that no one would ever wait that long, nowing that that person was never coming back... when i watched this movie with my BEST FRIEND FOREVER, natalia, i was drowed in my own tears litterally:""""(, i hope this story touched you like it did to me. hachiko will ALWAYS be my true hero no matter how muck it takes!!!!
I love hachiko
This story has really opened my eyes on the way animals are. This story brought tears to my eyes it showed me the true meanin of loyalty
We all love u Hachiko!!!!Hope i get to see u in ur next generation!!!Once again We LOVE UUUU!!!
when i watched the movie i cryed
the next day i reaserched hachiko
I remember my mother telling me of this story when i was a little girl. I can't remember if I cried more then or now. I love u Hachiko :)
I cried throughout the show when Hachiko did not know that his master had died.Hachiko did not gave up waiting for his master at the station. I feel that we should all be kind to animals as they too have feelings and...I LOVE YOU HACHIKO:(
i watched the move and i couldn't stop crying! it was so sad!
oh no! don't watch that movie! it is way too sad! my dog Buddy and I say go for a walk instead:)
much less likely to make u cry
I too cryed and was so sad for days, thinking of that poor dog and what he would have gone through for 9-10 years of not having his master show up..missing him... mourning him. How sad, I still cry when I think about it. But as we know this is not the only case of dog loyalty for examply Greyfriars Bobby who sat on his masters grave for years till he also died on the grave. It goes on and on. I love dogs and cats for that matter all animals they are wonderful and we should treat them all as special and look after them cause they look after us no matter what.
He looks a little bit like my Chow Chow "Oso" aka bear(RIP)12~13 yrs old. A well raised dog will never let his master/friend down. (Sigh) They'll even take a bullet for you.
i really luv this movie coz i can't stop my tears falling
down even im a boy.. but my gf is crying while watching that movie.. coz it too sad.. and
a true story between man best friend..(Hachiko)..
he is my hiro
i love u hachiko,, u are the best inspirate for my life.. cu with your generation...
after i watched the movie i cried so hard the next day i went to Shibuya to honor his statue. R.I.P, Hachkio I love you.
this good story for as he gave us moral lesson
Hachiko is a loyal dog he is very cute i think he will never give up when he can"t find back his owner.CUTE!
but at the end , hachi with his master together, i believe, RIP
I cry when I watch the clip if it is my dog i will keep him till i died hachiko always find back his family member and if he cannot find and in the end the poor cute dog died. :(
love you hachiko the loyal and brave little poor dog that died ......
My family loves you .you really brought tears in our eyes.you are a great hero
your 1 of the best loyal dog... in our world...
i watching this story and i cant stop crying..so sad...
I watched the movie on TV tonight after my wife told me about it. A great lesson on undivided love, devotion and loyalty. If I travel to Tokyo, I must visit Shibuya to pay my respects to Hachiko.
wonderful movie for me i rememver my dead dog but i think my dog is safety now..i learn how to love animals tnx hachiko
my coment is HACHIKO was a very kinly and loyalty
I've heard this touching sad story from my former primary school teacher. When I read this story again, I cried my self to sleep. I believe this story should be an inspiration for us to be better human beings... luv Hachiko-you're the true hero!
it is the most touching story of a dog i've ever watched!
the most loyal dog
his story was so entertaining and crying scenes
Hachiko was a brave dog so loyal to his master..
I thank Hachiko because he open my heart.. Hachiko wait so many years,, y cant I? Wen i saw this my eyes tears cant stop from falling.. huhuuh
thank you hachiko for the values! i think that's an amazing story but it has so many crying scenes that i really cry out loud :(( i wish ur not dead i wish ur still alive so i can visit japan always anytime i want just for you
i just watched this movie today...then after watching it, i researched about hachiko right away...
Hachiko's story made cry and cry and cry...my tears did not stop until the end.. :(( T_T
The story really inspired many people like me..
I think when a million of people watch this movie at the same time, and at the same spot...that specific spot would be flooded by tears.. :((
Hachiko you will always stay in my heart and mind..you will always be an inspiration, not only to me, but also to everyone who have watched your story.. :))
animals are 100% betr tan humans..especialy d great hachiko.LOVE U HACHIKO.....u brought tears into ma eyes...
when i watched the movie hachiko on you-tube i was focus only on the dog actor...its cute, but when i start understanding the meaning of the story implies on the movie, i felt something within i can't understand, i remember our dog named tiger, he was the same with hachiko, loyal and loving to us... long live all dogs like them!!!

a eu quero ir nessa estátua. nossa um cachorro excelente grande companheiro que sempre esteve com o seu dono.
hachiko sempre.
Miss u buddy.
when i watch your movie hachi... i cry.. i ? u hachiko,,,
that was so sad I even cryed i love you hachi
There are no one can do what he did... !
the word of here, it's nothing in exchange for what he did, and the great lesson he left behind in order to learn the human beings the true meaning of LOYALTY and REAL LOVE.
I have tried hard to didn't cry when I was watching this movie for the first time, but I failed.
Failed because it is hard TOO find some one who's loves all of this limit, even if he was one of your family or even your son.
Rest in peace & love you hachiko
Hachi You are great….
I am your greatest fan
U showed the real meaning of LOVE and LOYALTY.
Your story actually made me too sad that I am thinking of u more time.
Rest in peace Hachi with your master in heaven….At last I hope you both met each other in heaven. Hachi your love is greatest than any love in this world…i guarantee it…u r great
i like this story. .
although i didn't like dogs but i love hachiko..
Thanks Richard Gere for making a great movie with all
your star actors.
I agree, I don't think a human being would do what
Hachi had done. He truly loved his master. What
a connection the two of them had. That is how I feel
about my late dog, Lady. I know she is waiting at
Rainbow Bridge for me. I can't wait until I see her
Tears, flood of tears come to one's eyes as they watch
this movie. This dog didn't want anyone else.
He truly was sad and lonely for his master and
love beyond belief.
Thanks again

rearly an very meaning full movie
i cried for an hours rearly this movie touch my heart....
when i watch this movie i feel sad and i cried !
i ? u hachiko
I read about Hachiko few years ago since I love dogs and I used to breed Pomeranias. They look like a mini Akita to me.hachiko story moved me like no other creature or anyone has. His loyalty and his greatness made him the best animal and hero for anyone. It's beautiful to know that animals love their Master and he was a very good example of loyalty. I think he knew his Master had passed away. When my own grandfather passed away his dog passed away from not eating and beign sad. There is a true message behind this beautiful Dog in Japan. He is loved by many.. Hachiko I love you and you inspire me all the time. Thank you for the writers who decided to make a movie in memory of Hachiko. And let's not forget his Master who loved this dog so much and that love was return for 9 more years..RIP
I didn't know that a dog can do a miracle lyk dis... even a human forgets things so soon bt 9 years oh god how many day to him morning to evening hes eyes might pain to serching for him....i dnt ave a word to tel you.. you'll be in heavn with your owner nw so happly.. lov u sooo much huchiko....
Lost my 2 dogs, DD&TanTan last summer aften 16 GREAT years.! And this story and the movie killed me!
What a lovely Dog with such god feelings for his Boss So long waiting on his him R.I.P. dear Haikito
When l grow up I'm going to get a dog just like Haikito. R.I.P Haikito l love you.
It always make me cry...love u hachiko
when I watched that movie it made me cry ! huhuhu! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HACHICHO!!
What a wonderful movie. I cried so hard. So much love and devotion of both master and dog. Yes, it reminded me of my son's Chow chow, "Bear" who lived with me while my son was in the service , he too, was very devoted and protective of me. He passed away five years ago. Wouldn't it be awesome if animals could communicate other than with their eyes. Thank you so much for this movie.

Opinions drive change. A successful organization must embrace change to remain vibrant, relevant and an integral part of an evolving society. Altria Group Inc.'s tobacco companies failed to fully recognize the significance of the changes that had occurred in society's views about tobacco, especially the responsibility to confront and deal with some very real problems: addiction, youth smoking, the serious diseases caused by smoking and second hand smoke. It cost them significantly in how the public viewed them.
Altria Group and its operating companies, Kraft Foods, Philip Morris USA and Philip Morris International, reexamined themselves and began a proactive effort to engage with stakeholders on important issues impacting society.
As part of Altria Group's executive outreach program, David Sylvia will speak about these efforts, as well as the name change of the parent company to Altria Group, Inc. He will also discuss why the name was changed and the steps the company is taking to manage its corporate identity through external communications and engagement with the public.

This was SO good! I love corn with bacon, but I wasn't sure about the onions and garlic because I've never added them to corn. I only had a pound of frozen corn, reduced all the ingredients accordingly, and had a few cooked bacon slices from a previous dish, so cooked 3 more slices to achieve the amount of fat needed. Tastes great - next time I'll reduce the sour cream a bit. Thanks!

Standzout cases are produced by Aspire Innovation LLC. The USA company was founded in 2010 with the aspiration to become the best provider of innovative accessories for the Apple-user community. Before the iPad was in their hands, Aspire Innovation knew there would be a need for a solution that took the device out of users' hands. This thought inspired them to develop the Standzfree iPad tablet stand, and then market it under the Standzout brand name.
To date, the Standzfree floor stand ($100) continues to be the only Standzout iPad case available on the market. This tablet stand measures 36" high, yet its lightweight, flexible and versatile design that gives it the freedom to adapt in many different settings. The holder, which fits any iPad, features a ball and socket joint for multiple display angles. Standzout offers a couple of accessories to match: a 10ft long charger ($20) and a 12" extension tube insert ($20) that increases the overall stand height to 48", or more with each add-on purchase.
The Standzfree stand and accessories are great solutions for making iPad use around the home and/or office secure, comfortable and easy. Hopefully the brand introduces more designs to inspire a broader base of Apple users to buy Standzout tablet cases.

I am a PhD student at the UC Berkeley School of Information, advised by Kimiko Ryokai. My work combines biosensing and textile technologies to explore materiality, representation, and experiences with data in daily life.
Hint: Color-Changing T-Shirt Responds to Skin Conductance from Noura Howell on Vimeo.
This paper explores the social meaning of clothing-based displays of biosignals. How do friends make sense of their own and each other's skin conductance display in the context of a conversation? We developed Hint, a dynamic thermochromic t-shirt with ambiguous patterns that change color when its wearer's skin conductance increases, an indication of sudden arousal. We investigated how pairs of friends, each wearing the shirt, conversed and interpreted the display. Participants shared a broad range of interpretations, and emotions such as joy and embarrassment were associated with an increase in skin conductance. Additionally, participants expressed desires for their skin conductance displays to help validate their feelings and show emotional engagement with others. We explore ambiguity in the context of clothing-based information displays and discuss how skin conductance display became part of social performance in our study. From there, we suggest framing biosignals as social cues along with facial expression, gestures, etc., and begin to question what design territories this might uncover.
Noura Howell, Laura Devendorf, Rundong (Kevin) Tian, Tomás Vega, Nan-Wei Gong, Ivan Poupyrev, Eric Paulos, Kimiko Ryokai. 2016. Biosignals as social cues: Ambiguity and emotional interpretation in social displays of skin conductance. Designing Interactive Systems (DIS'16).
Excerpt from doctoral consortium submission for DIS'16:
Prevailing trends in biosensing promote individualistic, algorithmically defined emotions, wellness, and self-improvement. My stance is that this alone is far too limiting. Designs should embrace and explore a multiplicity of values, experiences, and interpretations. Interpretation, moreover, is inextricable from representation [5], and materiality shapes information representation [2]. So, drawing from an alternative lens that foregrounds contextually situated interpretation [1,7], I design biosensing representations with properties unlike those of typical data visualizations or screens by leveraging the physical properties of dynamic materials, such as the slow, non-light-emitting color changes of thermochromic fabrics [3,8-11]. Embedding these displays in clothing brings in associations around personal style [6], self-presentation [4], and the body, which may further shift interpretations.
So far I have worked with thermochromic fabrics and display of skin conductance, and am exploring other materials and sensors. Over the course of my PhD, I hope to call out assumptions or unstated trends in biosensing and propose alternatives, with methods such as speculative prototyping and qualitative interviews. As an example, instead of promoting algorithmically defined wellness and self-improvement, designs could leverage comfortable clothing displays to prompt open-ended reflection or promote self-acceptance of one's current mental, emotional, and physical state.
Noura Howell. 2016. Representation and interpretation of biosensing. DIS'16 Companion.
2015 - present
This paper explores the role dynamic textile displays play in relation to personal style: What does it mean to wear computationally responsive clothing and why would one be motivated to do so? We developed a novel textile display technology, called Ebb, and created several woven and crochet fabric swatches that explored clothing-specific design possibilities. We engaged fashion designers and non-designers in imagining how Ebb would integrate into their design practice or personal style of dressing. Participants evaluated the appeal and utility of clothing-based displays according to a very different set of criteria than traditional screen-based computational displays. Specifically, the slowness, low-resolution, and volatility of Ebb tended to be seen as assets as opposed to technical limitations in the context of personal style. Additionally, participants envisioned various ways that ambiguous, ambient, and abstract displays of information could prompt new experiences in their everyday lives. Our paper details the complex relationships between display and personal style and offers a new design metaphor and extension of Gaver et al.'s original descriptions of ambiguity in order to guide the design of clothing-based displays for everyday life.

We mentored students making independent web apps every Friday afternoon. High school and middle school students come with any level of experience, and we helped them find a project they are interested in, set goals, design the UI, and write code. Past projects have included an anime-inspired video game and a guide to getting into college.

We made a wearable companion designed to calm and comfort kids. When Buddy senses that the child is getting upset, it curls up and makes unhappy noises. This helps the child become more self-aware of their own mood, and redirects the child's attention toward comforting Buddy. By petting Buddy along his back, the child can calm themself down and make Buddy feel better too. Then he uncurls and makes happy noises.
This project began in Prof. Eric Paulos' class Critical Making.

We made an audio effects controller for DJs using the Myo armband. Moving their arm instead of twisting a knob helps DJs multitask, be more performative, and have fun without sacrificing precise control--aspects of the experience which were important to our users. Through several iterations, we tested using Leap Motion or Myo for the best possible user experience.
Using C++, the application converts Myo input to MIDI output. The MIDI output goes to the GUI, written in Processing, and to whatever audio software the DJ prefers, such as Serato or Traktor.
The Intel Labs project ConnectAnyThing (release repo, development repo) makes it possible to use Intel's Galileo microcontroller without writing a line of code. It enables creative play and rapid prototyping. I worked on the UI design as well as client and server side code, for real-time responsiveness and consistent state across the microcontroller, multiple clients interacting simultaneously, and the server.
MakerNode (repo), a work in progress, is intended to provide a simple workflow for node.js projects on Galileo.
WaaZam supports shared creative play at a distance. It was the doctoral research of Seth Hunter in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. I helped conduct the user study, analyze those results, and adapt a few ofxUI components for our openFrameworks front end.
An interactive Lissajous curves visualizer for exploration, pretty patterns, and random music generation. Lissajous curves represent stereo sound by plotting the left and right speaker positions on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. I made this with Matt Tytel.
Another interactive curve visualizer, this time inspired by Meara O'Reilly's collaboration with Björk for the latter's Biophilia Tour. Chladni curves show how waves propagate across a flat, finite surface. Each point's acceleration is inversely proportional to the relative position of its neighbors, so higher points get pulled down and vice versa. Waves reflect against the edges of the surface, and the constructive and destructive interference creates beautiful patterns. I made this with Matt Tytel.
Traditional Balinese architecture often uses bamboo blinds instead of exterior walls to maximize air circulation for cooling. During nice weather, they are raised, and during hot or rainy weather, they are lowered. If it starts raining while no one is home, then all the furniture will get soaked and probably start to mildew.
I prototyped a system whereby the bamboo blinds lower automatically when it starts to rain. A moisture sensor sends an electrical signal to the Galileo board, which triggers the motor.
I worked with Alam Santi, which blends traditional and modern technologies to create sustainable homes, and Intel Labs, which provided the ConnectAnyThing interface and Galileo used for this interconnected home system.

Many illiterate Moroccans use a mobile phone personally and professionally. They rely on friends or strangers to help them make calls and navigate the text based Arabic or French interface. Our goal was to help these people use the phones they already own independently. As project manager on a team of Olin design and engineering students, Babson business students, and Moroccan École Nationale de L'Industrie Minérale engineering students, I led the design process through user research, problem definition, prototype iteration, and pilot testing.
We interviewed numerous illiterate working Moroccan adults to understand how mobile phones fit into their lifestyles, including bicycle mechanics, produce vendors, bakers, maids, taxi cab drivers, and construction workers. Most own at least one mobile phone which they use for work and calling family and friends. Third hand Nokia bar phones are most common. Contacts are recorded on paper notebooks or scraps of cardboard.
They struggle to unlock their phone, find the contact's number, dial the number, add contacts, and add minutes. We focused on finding and dialing contacts because these needs are most time sensitive. We prototyped and pilot tested a transitional solution which accommodated current usage patterns and price constraints while augmenting the memory and learning abilities of illiterate users.
Tibetan women spend hours each day collecting yak dung fuel to burn inside their winter homes or summer tents for heating and cooking. This delivers bacteria via their hands into their food, creates dangerously smoky homes, and incurs difficult manual labor.
With One Earth Designs, I helped develop their parabolic solar cooker prototype through field testing, immersive user research, materials research, and simulation.
I am interested in exploring a myriad of possibilities for biosignals sharing. Heart beats, breathing, galvanic skin response, EEG, and other signals are becoming easier to collect and share. Applications in fitness, self-tracking, meditation, and closeness at a distance are emerging. By making a series of one-off prototypes, whether they are desirable, undesirable, or simply weird, I hope to broaden the design space for biosignal sharing.
Biosignals sharing is being used for emotional closeness and connection, such as with Apple Watch's heart beat sharing. Rather than seeking emotional closeness to build or maintain a relationship, in this experiment I try out using biosignal sharing as a way of expressing emotional distance after a breakup. In contrast to prevalent notions around sharing that favor easily understood expressions of happiness and connectivity, this piece shares a somewhat obscure expression of sadness and separation in the form of a distorted audio signal.
Galvanic skin response (GSR) recorded while listening to a personally significant song offers evidence of my emotional response. In lieu of an audio visualization, the time-synced GSR values are plotted on the left and used to distort the audio. Sometimes the GSR measurements rise and fall with the rising and falling tension or energy in the music, but most of the signal is idiosyncratic, creating a playback of the song that uniquely represents my emotion while listening.
Can biosignals augment our communication? Can they offer "proof" of feeling? How can they be used for self-expression?
As a software engineer at The Echo Nest, I worked on a variety of data-driven web applications, including a tool for creating generative radio station playlists and internal tools for verifying music data.
SiriusXM's MySXM personalized radio stations are created by SiriusXM's music programmers using this tool, made by The Echo Nest. I worked with one other web developer on the front end JavaScript application. Highlights included throttling AJAX requests to reliably load thousands of dynamically structured song objects, maintaining a responsive interface while loading, sorting, and filtering those objects, and automatically suggesting possible areas of concern to the music programmers to guide their design of these radio stations.
Data accuracy is of utmost importance to The Echo Nest because data is its primary product, and the continually growing database regularly rolls out to enterprise customers. The tools enabled anyone to view and edit dynamically structured data objects and helped create tasks, workflow, and performance tracking for quality assurance interns.
I. Quizzes WebsiteWorkers review sets of data by completing quizzes, and administrators create those quizzes and track worker progress. I made interactive progress graphs and embedded the views and actions from (IV).
IV. Quality Assurance WebsiteUsers find, view, and make add/remove actions on data objects. I made this, including views that dynamically match data structures and search queries.
II. Data Interface and ServerServes web pages for (I) and stores data in (III). I implemented a new question type, logged worker actions, and calculated work and quiz progress statistics.
III. Quizzes to Review Music DataThis database stores quizzes and responses. I defined the collection to store worker actions and queried that collection to calculate progress statistics.
VII. Music DataThis database stores the music data whose accuracy must be ensured. I did not work on this, but I worked closely with those who did to define how humans could best contribute to data accuracy.

New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division
Decided: December 18, 1979.
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.HELEN KRAMER SANITARY LANDFILL, D/B/A KRAMER LANDFILL, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Gloucester County.
Allcorn, Morgan and Horn. The opinion of the court was delivered by Morgan, J.A.D.
[171 NJSuper Page 502]
We consider in this appeal whether the State Board of Public Utilities (BPU or Board) has jurisdiction over the hours during which a landfill, holding a certificate of convenience and necessity, may operate. The landfill would deny BPU that power.
An abbreviated history of this accelerated appeal is necessary to a full understanding of what this issue comprehends. On May 7, 1971 the Helen Kramer Sanitary Landfill (the Landfill) applied to BPU for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to operate its landfill. On September 22, 1972 the Landfill filed a tariff with BPU which set forth its rates, hours of operation and miscellaneous additional terms and conditions of its operation. The certificate of public convenience and necessity was issued in March 1976.
In May 1977 the Landfill filed a petition with the BPU seeking modification of its tariff to amend the rate schedule to
[171 NJSuper Page 503]
reflect the rates actually charged since 1970 and to eliminate an inapplicable rate schedule. At the hearing on this petition held June 21, 1978, the Landfill orally sought a tariff amendment enlarging its hours of operation. On February 22, 1979, the Landfill was advised of a written BPU staff position with respect to the petition for rate change and the oral request for enlargement of the hours of operation. According to this document, the staff authorized the requested change in rates. The staff, however, recommended that the hours not be enlarged --
By letter dated March 19, 1979 (presumably in anticipation of having their request for a change in operations rejected) the Landfill withdrew its motion to increase its hours of operation. The Board's decision, an order on March 21, 1979, adopted the staff position on rates and, despite the Landfill's attempted withdrawal of the issue of operating hours, adopted the staff position with respect to that matter also. Accordingly, the Landfill was ordered immediately to "cease and desist from operating during hours not presently authorized by the Board." The Landfill appealed from that portion of the order denying extended operating hours.
Subsequent to the filing of the notice of appeal on April 16, 1979, BPU filed a Chancery Division complaint seeking to enjoin the Landfill from operating in contravention of its decision and order of March 21, 1979, imposition of $100 fine a day for noncompliance with the BPU order and interlocutory injunctive relief with respect to that order. After abortive attempts to reach an amicable disposition of the controversy, the trial judge ruled that the Landfill would be required to comply with the operating hours reflected in its filed tariff in accordance with
[171 NJSuper Page 504]
the Board's order of March 21, 1979. The Landfill's appeal from this trial court order is before us and not the appeal from the BPU order of March 21, 1979.*fn1
The essential issue posed is whether BPU is vested with jurisdiction over operating hours of landfills under either N.J.S.A. 48:2-13, the provision generally descriptive of the scope of Board jurisdiction, or N.J.S.A. 48:13A-1 et seq. , the provisions of the Solid Waste Utility Control Act of 1970.
The former, applicable to solid waste collection and disposal, provides:
The board shall have general supervision and regulation of and jurisdiction and control over all public utilities as hereinafter in this section defined and their property, property rights, equipment, facilities and franchises so far as may be necessary for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Title.
The term 'public utility' shall include . . . sewer, solid waste collection, solid waste disposal, telephone or telegraph system, plant or equipment for public use, under privileges granted or hereafter to be granted by this State or by any political subdivision thereof. [ N.J.S.A. 48:2-13]
The latter, describing the objectives of Board control of solid waste collection and disposal, reads as follows:
The Legislature finds and declares that the collection, disposal and utilization of solid waste is a matter of grave concern to all citizens and is an activity thoroughly affected with the public interest; that the health, safety and welfare of the people of this State require efficient and reasonable solid waste collection, disposal and utilization service; that such service will more likely be achieved if the Public Utility Commission is charged with the duty of setting and enforcing standards and rates for regulating economic aspects of solid waste collection, disposal and utilization service; and that the exercise of any power herein provided shall be deemed to be in the public interest and for a public purpose. [ N.J.S.A. 48:13A-2]
[171 NJSuper Page 505]
The foregoing grants of jurisdiction to the Board have traditionally been liberally construed to grant the widest range of regulatory power over the utilities subject to its jurisdiction. Bergen Cty. v. Public Util. Dep't , 117 N.J. Super. 304 (App.Div.1971). Deptford Tp. v. Woodbury Ter. Sewerage Corp. , 54 N.J. 418, 424 (1969). Pursuant to plenary rule-making power granted by N.J.S.A. 48:2-12 and 48:13A-4, the Board promulgated rules requiring the filing of tariffs, consisting of "the standard terms and conditions governing service," N.J.A.C. 14:11-7.3, and which "shall continue in force until legally changed," N.J.A.C. 14:11-7.2(b). It was in response to these regulations that the Landfill initially filed its tariff which included a description of its hours of operations in unmistakable and unequivocal terms:
Hours of Operation. The solid waste disposal utility shall, during the period from May 1 to September 30 be open for business during the hours of 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. prevailing time Monday thru Saturday; and during the period from October 1 to April 30 be open for business from 7:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. prevailing time Monday thru Saturday. The solid waste disposal utility shall be closed Sunday and the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Labor Day, Memorial Day and Fourth of July. The solid waste disposal utility reserves the right to begin operation prior to the hours set forth and continue operation after the hours set forth to comply with the rules and regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection and/or Chapter 8, New Jersey State Sanitary Code.
By its March 1979 order and the subsequent Chancery Division suit, BPU sought enforcement of the Landfill's compliance with the operating hours announced in its tariff. The Landfill insists that it need not comply with this aspect of its filed tariff or, in the alternative, is free to amend its tariff at will and to alter the hours announced therein. Because no statute or regulation expressly requires that a filed tariff set forth the Landfill's hours of operations, a voluntary description of such matter does not, according to the Landfill, bind it to compliance therewith.
[171 NJSuper Page 506]
None of the statute from which BPU's scope of jurisdiction must be derived expressly deals with the question of operating hours. Decisional law is silent and legislative history is not helpful. Nonetheless, we are not entirely adrift. We interpret the statutory grant of jurisdiction broadly to provide regulatory control reasonably associated with those aspects of BPU activity specifically within the agency's delegated authority. We do that to avoid compromising agency capacity to accomplish its assigned tasks. For example, BPU is given the task of insuring, or at least enhancing, the efficiency of solid waste collection and disposal. N.J.S.A. 48:13A-2. To that end, landfill operators must obtain a certificate of necessity and convenience as an essential prerequisite to their operation. N.J.S.A. 48:13A-6. Existing need and levels of performance in a given municipality or region must be known to the Board and public and within the former's control if it is to insure efficient rendition of collection and disposal services. In re Mason , 134 N.J. Super. 500 (App.Div.1975). Clearly, the Board's responsibility does not begin and end with rate regulation. A utility permitted operation under a certificate must be accountable to the Board for a certain level of performance. Such supervision clearly embraces hours of operation and changes thereto. The Board recognized this in its adoption of N.J.A.C. 14:11-7.2, which requires each utility to file with the Board tariffs applicable to its affected service area, and in N.J.A.C. 14:11-7.3, which requires the filed tariff to disclose the "standard terms and conditions governing service . . .." Such rules are presumptively valid and the Landfill has not, in our view, met its burden of demonstrating their invalidity. See Bergen Cty. v. Public Util. Bd. Comm'rs , 137 N.J. Super. 448, 455 (App.Div.1975). Certainly, the Landfill failed to challenge these requirements when, in its filed tariff, it set forth in unequivocal terms the hours it would be operating its collection site.
Of course, once the tariff was filed it became law governing the utility's operation, with which the utility was
[171 NJSuper Page 507]
bound to comply. In re Saddle River's Application , 71 N.J. 14 (1976); Valentine v. Eastern Airlines, Inc. , 144 N.J. Super. 305, 308-309 (App.Div.1976). The Landfill itself recognized the binding effect of this provision of its tariff when it orally sought permission to change its hours of operation. That it withdrew the request before the Board passed on it did not, contrary to the Landfill's contention, deprive the Board of jurisdiction to enforce the Landfill's compliance with the terms of its own filed tariff.
We are not persuaded by the Landfill's contention that its described hours of operation do not include service for contract customers. If that were so, then the commitment to certain hours of operation would be entirely illusory, a service contract being all that would be necessary to operate for as many hours as the contracting parties, rather than public need, require.
Our conclusion that BPU has jurisdiction over a landfill's operating hours does not, however, insulate actions taken pursuant to that jurisdiction from appellate review. Arbitrary or capricious rejection of applications to amend filed tariffs with respect to operating hours is as subject to reversal as is any other such agency action. In this matter the Landfill has never sought a hearing with respect to its desire to enlarge hours of operation. Fearing lack of success in this endeavor, it chose to withdraw its request and never adduced evidence in its support. It now undertakes to argue to us, without a record, why the change in operating hours should be permitted. Such advocacy should be instead directed to BPU after a fully developed record which would, in the event of unfavorable BPU action, become subject to our review.

I have spurts of addiction to genealogical research interrupted only by cries for dinner, work demands and mountains of dirty laundry. I am working slowly on a course through the NGS to hone and further my research skills as well.
I love the way find a grave allows you to take a trip to a cemetery far away and find information you couldn't have had otherwise.

Glad to be of help. I hope that you have noted the confusion on Find A Grave between the Beery and Berry spelling. If you have any insight as to the reason let me know. Also there is another Find A Grave member who is interested in Berrys in Fairfield County. I can email you her contact info.

Cahills- St. Patricks Church Cemetery
Hi Kristen,
Walked every inch of this cemetery and there are no stones for either James or Thomas Cahill. I think James is buried out at Calvary and not sure of Thomas. In fact,you have a James out at Calvary as well as St. Pats. Think they are the same.
I do live in the Cleveland area and would be happy to take any pictures that you need from here. Very nice and sweet cemetery,
it was tiny and nice to walk around in. email@example.com

Nugent in St Mary's
Hi Kristin, I have claimed you Nugent Family in St Mary's Cemetery in Dunkirk, N.Y.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be a nice day so I will get the photos then. I have added a memorial for George Nugent 1850-1881 to St Mary's on Find a Grave. If you would like a photo of his headstone please put in a request and I will be happy to get it for you. I will also transfer George's memorial over to you if you would like it.

Hi Kristin, You're very welcome, glad to help.
I never had a problem before locating headstones in Cottage Cemetery. James Jr and Mary I couldn't locate. I have always started at one end of the cemetery at whichever section, A B or C and count the rows and within a few minutes find the headstone, but not with them.
I usually go by that cemetery a few times a year and I will check again next time.

Eve was found living under palets at a Huntsville area golf course with her three kittens (Mikey, Molly and Miles). A concerned citizen took them in until the kittens were old enough to be weaned. Eve was an awesome mama and all three of her babies are fat and healthy fuzz balls! She is a love of a cat who had yet to meet a person that she does not like. Eve is also good with the foster's dog and is getting used to other cats. She is great with kids and is always looking for pats and snuggles.
Eve is ready and waiting for her furever home. Could it be yours?

text: I have been having trouble jail breaking my ipod touch 8GB 1G 2.2. I downloaded quick pwn, then i tried to jail break my ipod straight away. I believe i should have restored it first, i continued with the jail break, it went well except for the end where it froze up at the new pineapple boot logo. I left it for some time and nothing happened so i cancelled quick pwn and unplugged my ipod, i then restored my ipod and tried again. Now when i try and jail break it, it says its 'waiting for ipod to open in recovery mode' or something. So i open itunes and it restores it again. ITS A BIG CIRCLE!!! Its strange because my i pod is fine after i restore it, but when i open quick pwn and begin jail breaking it turns off and goes to the screen that has the usb plug pointing to the itunes logo. PLEASE HELP!!

Sometimes, late at night, firemen slip into heels and dance with their poles, spinning, dipping, and stripping away cumbersome fireproof coats and burdensome notions of masculinity. Get a fireman's acrobatic workout with twice as much confidence with today's Groupon: for $25, you get two basic pole-dancing, chair-dancing, burlesque, Pilates, ballet, or booty-and-abs classes at Stiletto Fitness! (up to a $50 value), located in Largo. See the schedule for class dates and times.
The exotic-exercise instructors at Stiletto Fitness! tutor dance pupils in the fine art of provocative post-swiveling and other hip-twisting exercises in order to build strength, flexibility, and self-confidence. In the basic pole-dancing class, students master moves such as the step-around, the fireman, and the hook, then string them together to form rousing routines. Ladies can strut their stuff while reaching high enough to change light bulbs during the chair-dance class, and burlesque lessons let boa-wielders execute slinky steps with a host of glamorous accessories.
Those looking for a more traditional routine can pull up a mat for a Pole-la-teaze session or strap on their tutu for Booty Ballet, Barre, and Pole class with a professional instructor, choreographer, and performer. During the Booty and Abs regimen, students lunge, squat, and crunch their way to more muscular midsections. Since all classes available through this Groupon are open to beginners, women can sign up even if their last coordinated movements involved shouting "Goose!" and running like mad.

Family Dream Escape
Left on Apr 4, 2016 for a stay in Mar 2016
We just returned from a 7 night stay at the Villa during Easter break. We are a family of 17, 2 grandparents, 3 adult couples, and 9 grandchildren ranging in age from 2-15. We utilized most of the bedrooms and most of the beds. The house ranges over 3 floors. The Master is on the third floor along with a junior suite. The remaining 2 bedrooms on this floor had a shared bath and was used by one family of 5. The upper level had a laundry room which was very convenient. The main floor had 2 bedrooms used by 3 older children, a living area, kitchen, dining room and a covered porch (no screens). We housed another family of 5 on the lower level in multiple bedrooms with plenty of extra beds. It also had another laundry area, a living area, another small kitchen we used as a bar since it had a refrigerator, a porch bar (ice available, but no refrigerator) and a pool table room. There was also a spa/sauna/exercise area. The lower level was about 3 steps above the pool area. We did not use the elevator as it opened into bedroom areas and would have been a source of too much possible trouble with children. Every room was spotlessly clean and nicely appointed. The lower level bedrooms backed up to a hill and tended to be dark with fewer windows, but this did not affect our enjoyment of the space. The kitchen had every possible dish, glass and utensil. Pots, pans, spatulas, spoons were abundant along with decent knives (sharpening stone included). Blenders, coffee posts, griddles and many other appliances were available. There were a few leftover spices in the pantry, but plan on bringing what you need. There was some laundry and dishwasher detergent but you will need to bring or buy everything else. The pool and hot tub were spectacular and there were floats and noodles. We went to the beach (gorgeous) several times, but we preferred the house pool. Golf carts are not necessary, but much easier to park. We booked with Jose for 4 dinners, and he and his helpers made a wonderful vacation a spectacular one. Order the pork specialty and the taco trio for sure. Appetizers and desserts were so good that coming back home to the real world was hard. Do not scrimp on this item. You will have plenty of leftovers for other meals. You will be sorry if you do not have Jose cook for you. Demaris purchased most of the other food and alcohol ahead of time. We were ready to have fun the mom
Diana, Jorge , and his wife were extremely helpful in setting everything up! Everything was perfect and we had no worries for our wedding at the Wyndham:) We had family and the wedding party stay here and we all wish we had stayed longer . We look forward to getting people together for next year . Plenty of amenities and the pool/ jacuzzi was wonderful ! This place is worth every penny !!!!
The property was beautiful, the management team very helpful and there was something for everyone - from age 1 to 65!
I recently stayed at the Villa Tuscany for a bachelor party with 20 people. The house is amazing, it is everything you would expect. The picture really don't do it justice. With 20 people everyone had their own place to sleep it was amazing. The Resort is awesome great restaurants. The only thing that was frustrating was not being able to use the pool and pool bar because we weren't "technically" staying at the resort. The golf carts are a must, without them it would have been awful. It is a solid 10-15 ride by golf cart to the resort.
The whole team involved from booking the trip, to the maintenance and concierges people made the trip very smooth and easy.
The only downfall was the location of the house in relations to down town San Juan. If you are planning to go into town as much as we did. Its hard especially for that large of a group. It takes about 45 minutes and the transportation is $20-25 a person each way. So that got be expensive. Other than that a great trip and I would highly recommend it!
A great house with really nice people taking care of it. Beautiful ocean view, nice pool and hot tub... lots of seating all over the very nicely decorated house.
We rented Villa Tuscany for 4 days for our wedding in January 2016 and the house was everything we expected and more. At times throughout the week we had 35+ people there and never once felt crowded in any way. Villa Tuscany was everything the description claimed from the views to the cleanliness, the well equipped kitchen, linens, etc. We enjoyed using the bikes and surfboards that were in the garage, as well as the pool table (when you needed to escape the sun!). Diana recommended an event planner for us, Damaris Rivera, who was amazing. She was on top of everything that needed to get done and more. Damaris took care of details we did not even think of - she is truly a professional. We enjoyed a fabulous pre-wedding dinner at Richies restaurant up the hill, watching the sunset. The In House Chef, Jose, cooked many of our meals for us, including our wedding dinner - each meal better than the last! Jose and his staff were so professional yet friendly - they were wonderful. On the last evening we took a sunset catamaran cruise and, once again, it was outstanding. Friendly crew, plenty of snacks and drinks. We would highly recommend Villa Tuscany to anyone looking for the perfect vacation destination!
My family returned to Villa Tuscany with a large group and again had a wonderful time. When we arrived, it felt like we had just left, and a week later, on our last night, I shed a few tears walking through the dark house and having to say goodbye again. Every detail was perfect. The house is clean and well-stocked, the beds are comfy, the pool and view are amazing, the golf carts are handy and fun to drive, and the biggest concern we ever encountered was deciding which awesome activity to do next! We took a hike in El Yunque Rainforest, went to the beach and hotel pools multiple times, spent as much time as possible in the house pool and hot tub, and slept like kings. We also ate like royalty as well, with the fantastic Chef Jose preparing delicious meals twice a day (with special pescatarian options for me). My husband enjoyed the plentiful outdoor activities in the area, our 7 year old daughter loved everything to do with the water, and I was so happy to just relax and be so well taken care of. I cannot recommend this house enough (unless you're trying to go when I want to stay there). :)
