To Constitute a Nation by Helen Irving
Book DescriptionThis imaginative and resonant 1997 book looks at the constitution as a cultural artefact. It attempts to understand the period during which it emerged, culminating in Federation in 1901. Irving looks beyond the well-known events, places and figures to locate federation and the constitution in the context of broader social, political and cultural changes. She argues that Australians displayed an ability to reconcile the demands of pragmatism with the urge of romanticism. Despite its paradoxical construction, there is something uniquely Australian about the constitution, and it marked a utopian moment as the old century gave way to the new. Irving analyses the background and outcomes of the Constitutional Convention and considers its significance for Australia's possible future as a republic.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from SC-BTT273 I wanted to love this system. But it has a fatal design flaw that is going to make me return it. The system includes a "home screen" that comes up every time it starts up. So, when you start up your TV and home theater system at the same time (normal), the system always says "home" on it. When on the "home screen", the input from the TV audio (aux) will not play. There's absolutely no way to configure the system to play TV (aux) audio on the home screen or to have the system start up without the home screen, jumping straight to the aux input. So, it's not a default. It's a no-way-around-it situation. 99.9% of the time, I just want to watch TV. But because of this fatal flaw, I would have to keep the receiver remote around and press a button every time to switch to TV audio, and there's an annoying multi-second delay in getting the system to understand that the input-switching button has been pressed. For an added flaw, the button is entitled "iPod"! The button you have to press EVERY TIME THE SYSTEM STARTS just to hear TV audio is called "iPod"! Ha ha. While I could possibly get around this myself, I'm not going to subject every guest who comes over to the instructions that to watch TV she'll have to turn everything on, wait 15 seconds for the receiver to start up, get out the audio receiver remote, keep pressing "iPod" until the system decides it's ready to listen (but not one time too many, or it'll switch to the wrong audio input), and wait 5 more seconds for the audio to actually start coming through. It's such a shame for such an amazing system to have such an idiotic flaw. The engineers must have been obtuse. Clearly they didn't put it through quality-assurance testing. They even just released a new firmware (1.38), and this problem wasn't solved. Their tech support says it operates this way by design.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Terrible product This is a pretty terrible product. Most times it doesn't load Netflix as it should while on a stable connection. The UI is very slow and often times has a delay between when you press the button and when the corresponding action takes place on the system. Overall this is a poor product that should be avoided.

A fuzzy system is an universal approximator u A fuzzy rule-base system, FRBS = ( ab, R, T, S, DEF), is a family of fuzzy systems with membership functions ab a fuzzy rule base R, the t-norm, for fuzzy aggregation T (i.e. operations within one rule), the s-norm for fuzzy composition S (i.e. operations among rules), and the defuzzification method DEF. Defuzzification consists of the conversion of the fuzzy output into a single crisp output. u Any given fuzzy system FS FRBS is a universal approximator according to a theorem. Let the fuzzy rule-based system FRBS be the set of all fuzzy systems FS and f: U R n R be a continuous function defined on a universe of discourse U. For each > 0, there exists a FS e FRBS such that sup { f(x) - FS e (x), x U }
Defuzzification u Process that converts a fuzzy set or fuzzy number into a crisp value or number u Defuzzification is such inverse transformation which maps the output from the fuzzy domain back into the crisp domain. The following defuzzification methods are of practical importance: Center-of-Area (C-o-A) Center-of-Maximum (C-o-M) Mean-of-Maximum (M-o-M)
u The Center-of-Area method is often referred to as the Center-of- Gravity method because it computes the centroid of the composite area representing the output fuzzy term. u Figure shows the membership functions of a linguistic output variable MotorPower where the areas of ZE and PM are combined by the union operator and thus their contour becomes the composite fuzzy output for MotorPower. C-o-A defuzzification method computes the centroid of this area
u The Center-of-Maximum requires only the peaks of the membership functions. Defuzzified value is determined by finding the fulcrum where the weights are balanced. This method is also called by Height-Method u The crisp output is computed as a weighted mean of the term membership maxima, weighted by the inference results. u Equations are very similar, except that for C-O-A it is used the areas of each membership functions. For C-O-M it is used only their maxima. Naturally the results are slightly different.
u The Mean-of-Maxima is used when the maxima of the membership functions are not unique, one can then take the mean of all maxima. Max ( I ) is the inferred fuzzy output term with the highest degree of truth and M is the integer number of such peaks.
It may be desirable to leave out the boundaries of the control inference membership function. Hence, the set over which the defuzzification is performed is only an - cut in which the is the threshold value. u The idea here is to try to make defuzzification insensitive to multimodal fuzzy output inference. u Height method is a good choice when using triangular or trapezoidal functions. However, the Gaussian membership functions have a couple of important properties: 1. produces smooth mapping 2. universal approximation property can be easily proven 3. central limit theorem: usually data distributions tend to be normal which can be approximated well by Gaussian basis functions Recommended to use Center of Area
u Criteria for comparison: Continuity Disambiguity (producing a crisp output for every combination of output membership functions Plausibility (output lies approximately in the middle of support and has a high degree of membership) Computational complexity Weight counting (weight information is not lost) u Which defuzzification method for what application? u Closed-loop control: continuity is important because jumps in the controller output can cause instabilities and oscillations. u Pattern recognition: can use M-o-M defuzzification, because if one wishes to identify objects by classification based on the most plausible result yielding the similarity of the signal to the standard objects. u Decision support: the choice of defuzzification technique depends on the context of the decision. Quantitative decisions can use C-o-M while M-o-M is recommended for qualitative decisions.
FUZZY CONTROL SYSTEM u A Fuzzy Control System consists of four blocks:
Six steps for creation and execution of a rule based fuzzy system 1. Identify the inputs and their ranges and name them. 2. Identify the outputs and their ranges and name them. 3. Create the fuzzy partitions (degree of fuzzy membership function) for each input and output. 4. Construct the rule base that the system will operate under 5. Decide how the action will be executed by assigning strengths to the rules 6. Combine the rules and defuzzify the output.
u A seven rules fuzzy system to output an action for an inverted pendulum
Where the fuzzy sets come from ? u Polling: The question Do you agree that x is A? is stated to different individuals. An average is taken to construct the membership function. Answers are typically yes/no type. Direct rating: How A is x? This approach supposes that the fuzziness arises from individual subjective vagueness. The person is made to classify an object over and over again in time in such a way that it is hard for he/she to remember the past answers. The membership function is constructed by estimating the density function.
Reverse rating: The question Identify x which is A to the degree A( x) is stated to an individual or a group of individuals. Responses are recorded and normally distributed distributions are formed (mean and variance are estimated). u Interval estimation: The person is asked to give an interval that describes best the access of x. This is suited to random set -view of membership functions. Membership exemplification: To what degree x is A? Person may be told to draw a membership function that best describes A. u Pairwise comparison: Which is a better example of A, x1 or x2 and by how much? The results of comparisons could be used to fill a matrix of relative weights and the membership function is found by taking the components of the eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue
u Clustering methods: Membership functions are constructed given a set of data. Euclidean norm is used to form clusters on data. u Neurofuzzy techniques: Neural networks are used to construct membership functions. An essential part of forming membership functions is the input space partitioning.A grid, which is fixed beforehand and it does not change later. Set to some initial value and tuned. Fuzzy clusters are best suited for classification problems, because they implement a similarity measure. u Genetic algorithm techniques: Evolutionary approach to optimize the cluster of data into fuzzy sets
u Example of Fuzzy Controller Air – Conditioning System
Rules for the Air-Conditioning System Rule 1 If temperature is cold then stop motor, vent is downward Rule 2 If temperature is cool then motor speed is slow, vent is downward Rule 3 If temperature is comfortable then motor speed is medium, vent is horizontal Rule 4 If temperature is warm then motor speed is fast, vent is upward Rule 5 If temperature is hot then blast motor speed, vent is upward
u Fuzzy Inference Relating Motor Speed and Vent Angle For Temperature Input
Implementing Fuzzy Controllers u Can be either implemented in hardware or software u There are many degrees of freedom inherent to fuzzy system design, requiring a great deal regarding trial- and-error and the availability of easy ways to select different fuzzification and defuzzification schemes. Such flexibility suggests the use of software.
Development of Fuzzy Controller with Matlab u.m programs are useful to translate the implementation in other languages (C) and to have the feeling in how to implement u FIS Editor displays high-level information about a Fuzzy Inference System. At the top is a diagram of the system with each input and output clearly labeled. By double-clicking on the input or output boxes, you can bring up the Membership Function Editor. Double- clicking on the fuzzy rule box in the center of the diagram will bring up the Rule Editor.
u The following program is an implementation in MatLab® of a fuzzy controller with the following characteristics: Rule based fuzzy controller It supports any number of inputs, limited only by the processing capability of your computer and Matlab It supports any number of outputs, limited only by the processing capability of your computer and Matlab Any input and output can have any number of triangular membership functions. Each input or output may have different number of membership functions You can defuzzify either by the height method or by computing the center of gravity
Inputs and Outputs Definition
Rules Evaluation u The rules were generated by the vectors r_e e r_s. For rules evaluation, the following procedure is made: u An auxiliary vector is used aux with ne (number of inputs) elements equal to 1. u For each input variable it is verified if that variable (j) participate for the antecedent of that rule, if that is positive, the element aux(j) is attributed the fuzzified input value correspondent to the membership function of that rule condition. u The truth value of the rule is the minimum value of aux and it is stored into the matrix output_aux((i,j,k) where the i indicates which is the output number, j indicates which is the membership function and k indicates the rule number. u The final output matrix is the maximum value of each input membership function evaluation
Defuzzification u Height Method u Center of Gravity
Two cases are presented u Case 1: 2 inputs were considered, one with 2 membership functions within an universe of discourse between 5 and 50, and another with three membership functions within an universe of discourse between 0 and 1. 2 outputs were considered, one with 2 membership functions within an universe of discourse between 1 and 10, and another with 3 membership functions within an universe of discourse between 4 and 20. u Case 2: The efficiency of fuel consumption for a car can be described linguistically. It depends on the car velocity, air dragging, thermal cycle.
u The file case1.m shows the Matlab implementation for this fuzzy modeling
Simulation for Case 1 What is the variable_1 (5.0
Evaluation of fuel consumption u Efficiency of fuel consumption for a car can be described linguistically. u For small velocity the car takes too much fuel for the thermal cycle itself, since the RPM is not optimized u As your RPM is optimized and the speed increases the air-dragging adds friction u There is an intermediate optimal speed point
u The car velocity is divided into three fuzzy sets as below (Small, Medium and High)
u Figure below shows the fuel consumption on the left side depicted in from the linguistic description of the car velocity. u The Rules are: 1. If Vel is Small Then Consumption is High 2. If Vel is Medium Then Consumption is Low 3. If Vel is High Then Consumption is Medium
u The file case2.m shows the Matlab implementation for this fuzzy modeling
u Development of fuzzy coding can be easily done by using a Shell Environment. There are several companies with visual based development platforms, Togai, FuzzyTech, FIDE, just to name a few. Real-time on-line debugging and tuning of rules, membership functions and rule weights, including addition and deletion of rules Graphical object-based "point and click" CASE tool User-defined inference methods Color rulebase and operator visualization tools Fully integrated graphical simulation of fuzzy systems and conventional methods ANSI and Keil C code generation from the Fuzzy-C compiler u Those environments make provisions for the following: Reduction of programming efforts Fast prototyping Availability of several options regarding several degrees of freedom( typical of a fuzzy systems) Visual feedback for assessing fuzzy controller modifications
Project Editor: Defining the control structure
Spreadsheet Editor: Defining the rule base
Membership editor: Graphically defining the membership functions Various types of defuzzification methods can be selected
u The reason for using the fuzzy software development system described in the foregoing is to tune the initial fuzzy design. This requires many iterations involving modifications of both the rules and the membership functions. By using the Interactive Debug option the designer can immediately visualize the effect of each of such changes, thus he knows whether or not a particular change has caused an improvement in system response. This visual feedback is essential for fuzzy system design. u The Interactive Debug window, provides for entries for both inputs and displays the current output as determined by the current fuzzy controller. If the displayed value is incorrect, the designer can make modifications in the rules, or the degree of support of the rules, or the membership functions interactively, until the displayed output matches with the output value required for the specific input combinations entered. By monitoring the three- dimensional control surface the designer can also change the fuzzy inference structure from max-min to another type provided by the software package. For example, a smoother response with no creases or abrupt jumps of the control surface can be obtained by using max-product type fuzzy inference.
Fuzzy Controllers in Industrial Environment u Industrial electronics use PID control,implemented by embedded system or PLC programming u PID control works well for linear processes u PID control has poor performance in non-linear processes u Fairly complex systems usually need human control operators for operation and supervision
Fuzzy Controllers u PID fuzzy control can implement a single feedback loop u A supervisory control can be implemented with fuzzy rules to control the operation of standard PID controllers running on every loop
Let us understand the dynamics of a controller

This paper presents microfabric of the Poznań clays in microscopic investigations. The method allows describing the structures after plant roots, Fe-Mn globules, calcareous and siderite concretions, voids after "desert roses" microcrystallites, as well as slickensides. These features are of primary and secondary origin and indicate multistage formation of the studied sediments and polygenenetic processes in their geological history. Root remnants, and slickensides indicate pedogenesis, while microcrystallites, Fe-Mn globules and calcareous concretions were formed during the changes of physical and chemical conditions during weathering processes.

In this paper, the results of a hydrogeological reconnaissance are presented. It was performed during the analysis of a tracer migration through an aquifer on a local scale. The research focused on a fragment of the Naramowicki Sandur, a hydrogeological structure located in the vicinity of Poznan, Poland. The subjects of field and laboratory work included describing the geological structure of this area, and measuring the depth of the water table, the directions of water flow and the concentrations of chemical compounds in the groundwater. Some chosen filtration parameters were also analyzed. Furthermore, the relationship between groundwater and surface waters was diagnosed. The analysis of the hydrogeological conditions of the area designated for tracer migration research rendered it possible to properly plan field experiments in a set of observation wells. Source
Laboratory method for determining the parameters of a dual permeability geological formation based on a PARAMEX test [Laboratoryjna metoda identyfikacji podwójnej przepuszczalnoś ci hydraulicznej na podstawie testu PARAMEX]

Biuletyn - Panstwowego Instytutu Geologicznego | Year: 2012
During some PARAMEX field tests an unusual rate-of-rise curve was observed. This curve clearly differed from the exponential curve normally registered during such tests. The atypical curve indicates a faster than usual water level rise during the first stage of the test and a slower rise during the last stage. This type of rise is bi-exponential. Based on the documentation of the analysed piezometers, it should be assumed that this type of water level movement is caused by the dual-permeability of the geological formations surrounding the screened zone. In this paper, the possibility to identify the parameters of such formations using a PARAMEX test is analysed. A model capable of simulating PARAMEX tests in a dual-permeability formation was constructed. Because of the model's shape, the conducted tests were called "W-tube" tests. Water valves at the bottom of the outward columns allowed cutting water flow and therefore registering "U-tube" tests. During these tests, the hydraulic conductivity of a single groundwater formation sample was determined using constant head permeability measurements. A mathematical model of water flow during the laboratory simulation of the PARAMEX test was created. This model allowed interpreting the results laboratory tests: a pair of hydraulic conductivity values was calculated based on the experimentally registered bi-exponential curve. The obtained values of hydraulic conductivity were compared to the values determined during the constant head permeability tests. The mathematical model proved to be adequate for identifying the parameters of dual-permeability based on a PARAMEX test. Source

Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) is a mobile genetic element that harbors the mec genes which encode resistance to methicillin and almost all β-lactam antibiotics. Also resistance genes for aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines can accrue on SCCmec elements. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are thought to be a reservoir of diverse SCCmec elements that can spread to Staphylococcus aureus or other species of Staphylococcus. A diversity of SCCmec types, with many new combinations of the mec and ccr gene complex as well as nontypeable types were recognized among the MR-CNS strains. Source

Sir.—We read with interest the article by Freij et al.1 Primary peritonitis may be defined as an acute inflammatory process of the peritoneal cavity without a demonstrable intra-abdominal source. As noted by the authors, other studies have demonstrated that bacterial cultures of the peritoneal fluid are negative in 25% to 35% of cases of primary peritonitis. Although we agree with the authors' speculation of the possibility of a viral cause in a small percentage of these patients, we would like to suggest that other causal agents, such as Yersinia species, might be implicated in the pathogenesis of primary peritonitis.
Niléhn,2 in 1967, reported the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from appendiceal cultures of 21 of 581 patients undergoing appendectomy for suspected appendicitis. Most of these patients included otherwise healthy children and young adults. Of the cases of histologically confirmed appendicitis, Y enterocolitica was recovered from only 0.6%. In

Cottage bags and promotional traveling are usually given out by travel agencies for their clients as promo gifts to reveal their gratitude for getting their services. Aside from serving as presents, cabin bags with Mini Jute Bags and promotional journey will also be used as a good advertising platform by travel agencies.
Customers who take promotional traveling and cottage bags do lots of party favor for their travel agents. A leather bag at Plain Jute Bags with a company logo imprinted on it can do a lot of when it comes to marketing their businesses. Every time the bag is carried around, it serves as an individual ad made by the customer thus making it one of the best marketing schemes in the whole world.
Promotional products like travel and cottage bags with Small Jute Bags come in designs and different sizes and they can function as clothing tote or take bags. The size of the tote depends on the type of relationship the business wants to establish to their customers. Therefore, the larger the promotional travel bags, the deeper connection they would like to make with their clients.
Most promotional bags have little information about involving mission or the history of the business. The truth is, most businesses go to great lengths as it pertains to deciding on the complete design and attractiveness of their promotional bags. Moreover, with the tough competition of travel agencies, the design and creation of the promotional totes aren't treated lightly. That is the reason why there are tons of great-looking promotional travel bags with natural fragrance oils these days for example leather bags.
This means that travel agencies contemplate lots of things aside in the design of their bags. This consists of the color of the bag along with the stuff used for the space, the bag and pocket planning. Since it's going to serve as a form of advertisement, generally, it is necessary for travel agencies to ensure the quality of these totes. After all, giving out substandard promotional traveling and cabin bags will give a bad name to a special business.
Customized travel bag with Natural Incense powder are a great way to advertise in addition to create connection with customers but unlike any advertising strategies, it is not more expensive compared with radio or television advertisements. Also, this passive form of ad is also more effective in regards to calling for actions from clients. This really is the reason why a lot of travel agencies prefer to give their clients promotional travel bags such as take bags

About the only game in town. We stayed here while visiting relatives. On the plus side the campground was relatively clean and quiet and had easy access to some nice walking paths. The campground host was friendly and easy going. On the negative side, the bathrooms were located in concrete block buildings with concrete floors and no heat. Cold at this time of the year! The showers have those atomizing, flow restricting shower-heads that result in hot water near your head, warm water at your shoulders and cold water from there on down. I only took one shower and then used our trailer's shower. This is an OK plae to stay but seems over-priced for what you get. - BruceandKathyWA

Stayed for a week while visiting friends. Camp Host was a no show. Had to call the Expo office to find out the procedure for check-in. Parked in overflow, so water and power only. Overflow is on the main road into the full hook up sites and very dusty until it rained then it was muddy. Large oak trees one had fallen across one of the interior roads. Large oak limbs hanging over dump station and several other roads. Actually saw a limb break off and fall. Had we been asked to park any closer to the trees it would have been a deal breaker. Shower and rest room have a strong odor of mold. Shower with high fixture have the spray of a water pick, and low fixture not high enough to get under. - Cactusflower

I was here to move my son out of OSU at the end of the school year. Due to graduation and prior reservations, I was in the full hookup, lot B, the first night then had to move to the open gravel overflow water and power only, lot E, the next two nights. B sites were gravel and were not level. I needed three to four blocks under the front wheels just to get close. Online reservations were fast and easy but the onsite host, Ken, was non-existent. I had to call the listed number three times just to get the wifi and bathroom codes. Keep calling because he doesn't return calls. Bathrooms, although heavily used, were fairly clean. Free Wifi was over taxed. The host lets you know from the get go that it doesn't work and that "there's nothing I can do about it." The open no shade overflow E lot ($7 less per night) is the gravel lot on the other side of the fairgrounds. There are no bathrooms here and you have to walk through the fairgrounds to get to them. Luckily only every other space in this lot was occupied or else it would have been parking lot tight. You're in the fairgrounds, what do you expect. It's about a 1 1/2 mile walk on the walking / biking path to OSU or just a short drive away. I wouldn't stop here again. We stayed here in a motorhome. - Neckbone

We stayed here in March 2016 and I assure you the drought is over. It rained all month and we almost floated away. They had to bring in gravel and we still had to put pallets down to walk on to get to our vehicle. The water was standing all around our RV. We finally moved to a 30amp spot to get out of the water and the incessant street noise. All the 50amps sites are next to the noisy road. We have stayed here many times as we have relatives in the area. Not many parks to choose from so they are all way over priced. Their bushes and trees really need to be trimmed; we have complained about them several times. - Old Oregonian

Being a KOA park, there are features you expect. This park is better than others and a good park for children especially, as they have many features for them. This is a nice off-leash dog facility now, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They want your stay to be a positive one. There is a drawback when getting here from I-5: look carefully for the left-hand turn and KOA sign to get to the park. Can be tricky for larger motor homes to turn around and try again!! - btsweetbaby

We have stayed here many times. They have made some wonderful improvements. There is a big dog park that is enclosed. We really enjoyed using it. The buckets are still by the office so you can pick your blackberries. We also noticed that there is a new putt-putt golf game. There are not so many full time residents and those that are there have taken better care of their sites. The sites are still too close to enjoy sitting outside. But the pool makes it a fun place for kids. Of course it is very dry - no green grass or pretty flowers but Oregon is in a terrible drought and there are watering restrictions. - Newbet

Easy access from I-5. Long level pull-through sites. Friendly and helpful staff. Only stayed overnight in the winter, but the park looked well cared for and clean. Some landscaping and trees between sites. Back in sites had more privacy. - thyde
Oct 2016 - $37.00
Perfect for an easy overnight stay on our way south on I-5. A couple of miles back from the highway, so no road noise, but could hear a distant train. Park was quiet with some long term rigs. Concrete pads separated by gravel or mulch; helps keep things clean on rainy nights. Good showers were clean and warm. Friendly staff. - Kcflowers

Nice park, stayed 2 nights. Several full timers. Some of those sites needing cleaning up.
Tight squeeze in some sites. Still, I'd go back.
We had to back out due to low hanging tree limbs. - off2cthewisard

As stated by others this is an older park that is really tight and need to be modernized. We had to have a pickup moved so we could get into our site and will need to do that again to get out in the morning. Our pad is level and paved with shared utilities, which means our neighbor got the 50 amp service while we got the 30. The cable works well with close to 50 channels. I could not log on to the wifi. - 2WArvers

Knox Butte is a very old and tired "RV park" that needs a lot of TLC. The park is full of permanent residence who for the most part have let their rigs detonate to the point that some require tarps over the roofs. Most don't keep the area around their homes clean and tidy. Although the owners are very personable and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, they need to put some of that energy into cleaning up the park. I have to say that the bathrooms and laundry facilities were kept spotless during our stay. But, at $35 a night we expect much more that just a parking site. We will probably go somewhere else next time we are in the area. - StarlifterFE

We made weekly reservations (for my brother and his rig and ours) several months in advance but upon arrival, the sites were occupied by part of a group that stayed extra days. They put us in temp sites with all the amenities but it was disappointing to say the least. Fortunately, we are adaptable. A lot of long term residents. - whaler25

This is the hidden gem along Hwy 20 between Newport and Corvallis. Whether you stay a night or a month, this is a great place to stop. Very friendly owners and residents. Wide spots can accommodate big rigs as well, but only 30 amp service, but who needs to run everything at once anyways. Dog friendly, large areas to walk and let them run. Wildlife right outside your door, plus the beautiful, quiet views of the mountains. Great facilities, bathrooms, shower, laundry, all are in tip-top shape if you want a break from your RV. If you don't like the city RV parking, and don't mind being away from it all, this is the place for you. Enjoy. - Tony and Jen

Stayed in a 45' MH. Well off I-5 this is a great place to stay near Junction City, a hotbed of RV repair and modification businesses that arose from the Monaco/Country Coach collapse to serve orphan makes; we had a Sat system installed. Park is in a bend in the Willamette River and associated with the church there. Sites are all concrete with accompanying patio area, a bit close together but level although several are cracked and uneven. Some sites separated from others by a grass strip. Power pedestals are worn but work fine, no power issues. Park has had some hard use and low maintenance. Manager is in the process of rejuvenating the park, about half of the sites are unavailable for rent but available for parking. By no means unsafe. Very crowded on Sunday and some evenings can be busy but not objectionable. They had a nice overflow area for parking our 26 foot cargo trailer. Would stay here again, no issues. - taildragger_2

Rate based on weekly stay @ $230/week. FHU, pull through site. This resort is listed as closed on some internet search engines,but it was purchased by a church and is open for business. No cable TV but WIFI was good when it worked (most of the time). Although this park is right next to the river there is no river access from the campground and no view either. We had several days of strong wind from the north so I would not recommend leaving your large awning out while the RV is unattended. We stayed here mainly for windshield replacement for our rig in nearby Coburg and to visit with an old friend, otherwise we would probably have continued on up north. - Bob & Stephanie

We just stumbled on this park when we were waiting to get some work done on our Country Coach in Junction City. The pads are level and the park is well maintained. They apparently do no advertising since we found out about them from the receptionist at Country Coach. The park is part of a large church campus. There were no trees which was not a problem when we were there. They have a small pool and spa and the setting is right on the Willamette River. We would stay here again and use it as a base camp to explore the area. - Cc rambler

Just looking for an overnight stay and found this very nice park. We had a pull thru site almost long enough for our 40' plus toad. The park was clean and quiet, but there are obviously a lot of long term residents. The easy off/easy on from the freeway without having to deal with any city traffic was a winner! We'll be back. - BethnBubba

We stayed here for 2 months. It is a long term stay type park which is trying to improve to make it more family friendly. They added a play ground while we were there which is great for the kids. It has a laundry room which is getting an upgrade to newer front loaders. The bathrooms were fine, but we didn't shower in them because I like the bathroom in my rig. The price is right for the park. The site we had was a back in with an asphalt pad. We had enough room for our slides and awning, but only because we were in an end spot. The sites in the middle are rather tight if you have a big rig. The staff is very nice and helpful. The water is not very good at all. It has a bad taste and we had to use bottled water while there. Overall it was fine and the kids loved having other children to play with. - TravelOBRN

Located behind trucking company. Kind of hard to find the driveway in. No amenities, just a simple park. It has level gravel pull-through spots. Many 'permanents', but no problem with them. Just stayed the night. Arrived after hours, but had sheet out side. The 'pull-throughs' are actually two 'back-to-back' spots that you pull through one to get to the other. Numbering isn't plain. Figured it out after getting out of the rig and walking around to figure it out. For the price, we will probably try and find another place if we have to stop in this area. Not a 'bad' place, just over priced for what you get. - Kalama Traveler
Jun 2014 - $30.00
Close to freeway, easy in/out. Roads are gravel, paved sites. Dead grass between sites. Mostly permanents, run down rigs, no shade. Park is next to truck yard, some noise. Restaurants, shopping, etc. 10 - 15 miles. Probably look elsewhere next time through. - kmgulf

This is a mobile home park with RV sites and many with permanents. Roads and sites are paved and level. Sites are not long, but fit a 37 foot motor home. Small grass area and bushes between sites. Close to shopping, etc. Water, power, and cell (AT&T) good. We would stay here again. - kmgulf
Jun 2010 - $12.00
We stayed the whole summer here, because we were building a home in the area and needed an interim residence. The park is clean, and the staff is very friendly and responsive. Many of the campers are full-time residents or summer residents who go south in the winter. The park is clean and well cared-for. Pets are welcome, although it is a bit of a hike to the "pet area." We found the residents all to be friendly and cordial. There were some "overnight" guests during our stay. They were often "berthed" in the pull-through spaces, which are long enough, but a bit narrow. Campsites are paved, with ample room and privacy. All are full hook-ups; some have 50A service. The rate we paid was the monthly rate, $340, which included all utilities. We would stay here again. - punomatic

Child Abuse Outcome Part 1
When abused children become murderers: Mary Bell
Mary Bell (born May 26, 1957)is a british woman, whom is still alive to this day, who was convicted of murdering two young boys. She began killing at the tender age of 10. Her first victim was a four year old by the name of Martin Brown. The next child she murdered was a three year old named Brian Howe, when she was 11 years old.
Mary Bell was born to a prostitute mother named Betty (nee McCrickett). She was absent from the family scene regularly, usually out earning money by being an acquaintance to desperate men. Her favorite location to find work was located in Glasgow. Betty gave birth to Mary when she was 17 years old.
To this day, no one knows who Mary Bell's biological father is. All her life, she believed her father was a habitual criminal by the name of Billy Bell, who married Betty after Mary was born. He would later be convicted of armed robbery, so he wasn't around either. This left Mary Bell in the care of her dangerous mother and the strangers she brought to the home.
Betty did not want to take care of Mary Bell. On multiple occasions she attempted to kill her, according to accounts from close family members. The attempts were made to seem accidental, so she could avoid prosecution. Her mother also subjected her to repeated sexual abuse by strangers.
Betty brought all types of clients to the home. It was during these times she forced Mary Bell to perform sexual acts on these men. This sexual abuse happened when Mary Bell was just four years old. This information was shared to law enforcement and psychiatrists by Mary herself.

Now, it wants to extend the measure around the rest of the world. Advertisement The Wall Street Journal reports that the EU wants to broaden out the scheme—which mandates Google to take down links upon request, to satisfy users' right to be forgotten—from EU-specific domains, like ".fr" and ".co.uk", to ".com." Gulp.You can see why the EU wants to do it. Right now, it's incredibly easy to sidestep the removals by simply searching for whoever you're looking for dirt on using google.com rather than, say, google.co.uk.But given how badly the whole process has gone for those wishing to forgotten—in many cases, it reinforced whatever they were trying to hide rather making it melt away—it's unclear that it's a particularly great move. And that's before you even start to think about how on Earth the EU would enforce a ruling like this, which would apply to countries outside its jurisdiction. The Journal's sources suggest that Google may be able to implement the ruling by serving search results based on IP address. But... really? It might be time for seniors of the EU to realize that hiding from the past on the internet is incredibly difficult, whatever legislation you throw at it.

Kenner, Julie.
Tame me : a Stark International novella /
By J. Kenner.
Publisher, Date:
Saint Augustine, FL : Evil Eye Concepts, 2014.
114 pages ; 23 cm.
I've long dreamed of my fairy tale wedding, but it wasn't until I met Damien Stark--who captured me with his kisses and undid me with his touch--that I began to believe it was my destiny. Though we both carry secrets and scars, our shared passion heals us, binding us together. We have surrendered to each other completely, and our mutual ecstasy is the brightest light in my life. But darkness still snakes through the cracks in our armor. Ghosts from our past have moved in, bringing fresh pain that cuts deep and threatens to destroy everything we hold dear. Damien is my anchor to this world, and I am his. But if we are going to keep each other, we have to fight the shadows of our pasts to move forward into our future.

In Ontario, 14 Community Care Access Centres connect patients with the home care they need in the community. They either provide home care services directly or coordinate services with other organizations. More than 130 service providers deliver home care services across Ontario. Many provide multiple services and deliver them in more than one Community Care Access Centre.
Health Quality Ontario reports data on two categories of home care patients. Long-stay patients, who require care over a long period of time (more than 60 days), account for 46 percent of home care patients. Fifty-four percent of patients are considered short-stay and require short-term services when recovering from surgery or an injury. Some quality indicators pertain only to long-stay patients, while others include both short- and long-stay patients.
The Resident Assessment Instrument – Home Care (RAI-HC) is a standardized tool used to assess a long-stay patient's health status. Quality indicators derived from the tool primarily measure changes in a patient's health status (e.g. new pressure ulcers). Reassessment is recommended every six months, or earlier if there is significant clinical change, which makes it possible to measure changes in these patients' health. Measuring this change in short-stay patients is generally not possible, as by definition, they only require short-term services.
Quality indicators that describe both short-stay and long-stay patients are derived from multiple data sources. For example, Health Quality Ontario calculates readmission indicators by linking information from multiple health care settings (e.g., home care, emergency departments and hospital stays).
This data is available for information purposes only. All of our data comes from external data providers, which may occasionally make adjustments to the data published here. We ensure the information we report is of the highest quality, and protects privacy and confidentiality. We do not access any data that identifies personal information.
Health Quality Ontario receives quality indicator results from several sources, including the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and the Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres. Specific data sources that Health Quality Ontario uses to produce the indicators are:
Registered Persons Database (RPDB)
RPDB provides basic demographic information about anyone who has ever received an Ontario health card number. This database is maintained by the ministry and used and enriched by ICES with information from other data sets.
Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)
DAD is maintained by CIHI and houses information on patients treated in acute care hospitals. Every time an acute care hospital discharges a patient, the hospital submits an electronic record to CIHI that contains the patient's demographic information as well as diagnostic and treatment data.
Home Care Database (HCD)
HCD is maintained by the OACCAC and is a clinical, client-centered database that captures all home care services provided or coordinated by CCACs.
Home Care Reporting System (HCRS)
HCRS is maintained by CIHI and contains demographic, clinical, functional and resource usage information on patients served by publicly funded home care programs in Ontario. Data in HCRS are collected using the Resident Assessment Instrument - Home Care (RAI-HC). The RAI-HC is a standardized, multi-dimensional assessment system for determining client needs. It includes client assessment protocols, outcome measurement scales and a case mix system. An international consortium of researchers called interRAI developed the tool and Ontario's CCACs implemented it in 2004.
National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS)
NACRS is maintained by CIHI and contains data for hospital- and community-based emergency and ambulatory care (e.g., day surgery, outpatient clinics). CIHI receives data directly from participating facilities or from their respective regional health authorities or the ministry.
When interpreting and comparing the results of quality indicators in different populations, regions or over time, it is important to account for the underlying differences in the populations being compared. We call this "risk adjustment" and it allows us to make a fair comparison across groups and to distinguish variation that is due to differences in practice.
Results can be adjusted to account for differences in the age, sex, or other characteristics of people within a certain population. Characteristics such as age can significantly affect people's health status and their need for health services. By accounting for differences in age, health status and other factors, data can be risk-adjusted so that quality indicators are comparable across the province and over time.
Risk-adjusted quality indicators allow fairer comparisons across Community Care Access Centres and over time as patient characteristics change. Risk adjustment helps Community Care Access Centres identify priority areas for quality improvement efforts and makes it easier for them to share information with each other. The data can also be useful for developing benchmarks and standards over time.

When 15 year old Viktoria finally pulls her last stunt she can't help but wonder if it was worth it. She got choices she chose now she has to live with those decisions but she can't help but think where she would be if she didnt get kicked out of 11 schools. Her main worry is boys and when she pulls her innoccent 13 year old brother into it maybe she's gone too far. Will her parents ever forgive her? At least she has her birth parents to go to in case anything goes to wild! She's not sure if she knows how to 'behave' she's gotten in trouble her whole life. She's not sure she can change. Until Blake comes into the picture making her forget Danny her first and only boyfreind and even Carter the boy she cheated on Danny with at her last school. Maybe there is some good in a bad girl.

I grew up on tartar protection Crest and it is still my toothpaste of choice. I am very unhappy that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find. I went to my local Target yesterday and discovered that they no longer offer tarter protection Crest. Most stores do not carry this product. Allow me to correct myself, unless I would like whiteners in my toothpaste I cannot find old fashion tartar protection crest. Everything comes with whiteners now. I do not want whiteners in my toothepaste just good old fashion tarter protection mint gel toothepaste. It has always worked for me.. I now must search online for this product.
Recommend Product
My family is staying away from all the microbeads and whitening products and using this tartar control toothpaste, which is great. I see you're not discontinuing it, but it's getting harder to find. The shelves are being filled with dozens of whitening products. I wish it were easier to find this product.
It's a great product and does exactly as packaging suggests
My hygienist suggested that I use a Tartar control toothpaste. I selected this product. I used for 6 months and when I went to my cleaning, she found only a trace of tartar. And I mean a trace! No scraping for me. She was very impressed and wanted to know about the ingredients of the paste I selected - pyrophospate. It is in there!
I have always used Crest since my childhood, but just went back to this product. I also use pro health whitening toothpaste too. Thank you Crest!
I come from a long line of people who end up with dentures but have some how avoided that myself. I contribute it to tarter protection. I have used this toothpaste since it came out what was that 30 years now and once I started using it I noticed emdeiatly how my mouth was improving. I was getting better results and lest cavities when I went to the dentist and even when I had to skip going for 5 years I had not one cavity in that time and they were impressed with how well my mouth looked for not going for so long. Please please please keep this product around for another 30 plus years. Especially because it has non of the plastic beads we are hearing about. It is the only toothpaste I use and now the only toothpaste my family uses. But alas it is getting hard to find so I want to write and let you know that there are people still using this product and will continue for as long as I can find it. Thank you again for saving my smile
The stores in my area have quit carrying this version of toothpaste. I have used this for 20+ years and love it. I guess I will have to start ordering it online. Please don't stop making this toothpaste!!

LONG GROVE, Iowa (KWQC) – Thanksgiving is just a few days away and for more than 30 years Chuck Brockmann has been helping others prepare for the big day.
"The first time we did it, we had maybe six and then friends of friends told people and then it was 12 and we try [to] raise 400," Brockmann said.
Just one live turkey remains on his farm.
"A young man gets a collection of different kinds of turkeys and put them in downtown Dixon [Iowa] for people to see and I saved that one for him," Brockmann said.
The rest have been processed and are sitting on a truck, waiting to be picked up and made into the centerpiece of the big Thanksgiving meal.
"We try not to disappoint anybody so it works out well," Brockmann said.
Over the last three decades, Brockmann says many of his turkey customers have become his friends.
"Some of our regular customers don't come every year, they come every other year because of the way their family works, but yeah, they're all repeat customers and then there's always somebody who told somebody else," he said.
Outside of turkeys, Brockmann raises cattle, ducks and geese. He also grows corn and beans with his son.
"It keeps me busy, I'm retired, but I'm not retired," he said with a chuckle.
He says while the markets aren't looking the greatest for farmers this year, he still enjoys raising and selling turkeys.
"Am I in it to make a million? No, no, I won't," Brockmann said. "My son always used to give me a hard time about, 'I know that business operates in the red,' well it may have a couple [of] years, but we have fun doing it."
He says he's glad he's able to help others have a good holiday.
"I hope everybody has a happy Thanksgiving and I hope its a happier Thanksgiving because we furnished a fresh turkey for you," Brockmann said.
Brockmann says he usually sells all his turkeys for Thanksgiving, but if there are any extras, he donates them to Sister Ludmilla's or the Salvation Army.
He says he sells about 400 turkeys every year, but he is about 30 to 40 turkeys short this year, after a weasel got into his flock.
