The WAVE (.wav file extension) format is used for storing sound data. It is a Microsoft format that is based on the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format that allows data to be stored in chunks. There are three required chunks in a WAVE file the RIFF header chunk, the format chunk and the data chunk. Note that the RIFF header chunk is the parent chunk with the other chunks as sub chunks of it. Other chunks can optionally be included e.g. cue points, application specific data, instrument. play lists, labels, samples etc. I will only cover the required chunks here (see Further Reading for info on the other chunks).
Each chunk begins with two fields:
Every WAVE has a header chunk that contains all the other chunks. It is laid out:
Make sure the file you are loading has RIFF and WAVE codes before continuing to load.
Note: the RIFF header chunk always comes first but it is not a requirement that the format chunk, data chunk and other chunks should follow in any particular order. Some software assumes that the format chunk will always come before the data chunk but while this is truy in the majority of cases it is not true in all cases.
The format chunk contains details of the data to follow, it has:
If the data is not PCM format then you may have extra data. In this case in addition to the above you have:
To load this chunk you could create a structure with the right sized members and simply load straight into the structure. If you are developing for Windows this structure already exists and is called PCMWAVEFORMAT (found in mmsystem.h). For non PCM wave files there is also a WAVEFORMATEX structure that includes the extra data size field.
The data chunk holds the actual raw sample data
You can read in the chunk length and use this to read in all the actual sound data in one go.

The Texas Rangers recently rewarded Robbie Erlin's outstanding success at the Low- and High-A levels by giving him a promotion to Double-A Frisco. He is set to make his Texas League debut on Sunday afternoon against the Tulsa Drillers.
Erlin initially joined the Rangers' organization as a third-round selection in the 2009 MLB Draft. After logging four innings over three appearances with the rookie-level AZL Rangers in '09, Erlin impressed the club with his overall polish during his first spring training last year.
The left-hander, despite being fresh out of high school, earned a rare opening-day assignment to Single-A Hickory––immediately going to a full-season club. With the Crawdads, he posted a 2.12 earned-run average while striking out 125 and walking 17 in 114.2 innings.
After making the jump to High-A Myrtle Beach this season, Erlin has continued his dominance by posting strikingly similar numbers. In nine Carolina League starts, he permitted one earned run or fewer six times. He didn't issue more than one free pass in any of his outings.
Overall, Erlin went 3-2 with a 2.14 ERA for the Pelicans. He logged 54.2 innings, giving up only 25 hits, walking five, and striking out 62. At the time of his promotion, he leads the league in WHIP (by a mile) at 0.55, ranks second with 62 strikeouts, and fourth in innings pitched.
Perhaps Erlin's lone statistical blemish is his seven home runs allowed in nine starts––a product of his strike-throwing, aggressive nature on the mound. But because he has been stingy on the base runners, five of the long balls have been solo shots.
While Erlin tore through the Single-A South Atlantic League last season, fellow southpaws did hit him at a .309/.342/.473 clip. The prospect chalked it up to using mostly just his fastball and curveball to attack lefties, while he consistently mixed all three of his pitches (fastball, curveball, changeup) to righties.
This season, Erlin has begun using his advanced changeup against both left- and right-handed hitters, and with plenty of effectiveness. In the Carolina League, he limited lefties to a much-improved .208/.240/.438 slash line.
The 20-year-old doesn't have an overpowering arsenal, but he has success because of his across-the-board polish. Erlin attacks hitters with three pitches that he can throw in any count––an 87-91 mph fastball (touching 92 on occasion), a big curveball, and a changeup. He displays advanced command of his repertoire and sequences his pitches effectively.
In a recent interview with Myrtle Beach pitching coach Brad Holman, he praised Erlin's hunger for pitching knowledge.
"(Erlin) has worked through his pickoff and worked in understanding game situations and hitters' tendencies," Holman said. "He is hungry for knowledge. He comes and seeks me out as well as others. He reads books. He studies the game. And he wants to be great. That's why he is, I think, having the success that he's having."
The 6-foot-0 hurler doesn't turn 21 until this October––after the 2011 minor league season concludes. He now becomes the second-youngest pitcher in the Texas League, behind fellow Frisco lefty Martin Perez.
Erlin's next start will surely provide his biggest challenge to date, as he faces off against a Double-A Tulsa Drillers lineup that includes slugging prospects Wilin Rosario and Tim Wheeler.
Lone Star Dugout caught up with the Santa Cruz native during the Myrtle Beach Pelicans' recent series at Wilmington.
Jason Cole: As you finished up your first full season last year and went into the offseason, what did you come away with? What were your overall thoughts?
Robbie Erlin: I was mostly happy with just adapting to a full season and a full 140 games. It was being able to fall into a routine and throwing 115 innings in one season. I was happy with that. And I was just happy with how much I learned and adapted to this level of play.
Cole: Obviously there is always room for improvement, but I think it's also fair to say your first full season couldn't have gone much better. What were the areas that you saw the most room for improvement?
Erlin: The running game. Definitely the running game. I knew, at some point, the leg kick wasn't going to get the job done. So that was definitely it. Holding runners and mixing times––you can always improve on that.
I think, this year, cutting out the leg kick kind of built off what I saw last season. And, to go along with that, you can always improve on locating pitches and being sharp with everything. Looking back, that's something that I still need to work on and dial in.
Cole: Have you completely cut out the leg kick, or are you mixing it up?
Erlin: No, I cut it out.
Cole: How much did cutting out the leg kick cut down on your times to home plate?
Erlin: With the full leg kick, I was 1.7 to 1.8 (seconds). Which, even with a left-handed pitcher going that slow, it's still going to be a close play at second. So we just took that out altogether and just shortened it up. It's like an abbreviated leg kick. I think, now I'm about a 1.3 to 1.4, which gives the catcher more time on a runner stealing. And also the first baseman on a pickoff. It gives him time to transfer and get the ball to second.
Cole: I've heard a few scouts talking about how major league pitchers seem to be getting slower and more deliberate to home plate. It seems like the Rangers have put an emphasis on getting their young pitchers' times to home plate down. Have you noticed that?
Erlin: Yeah, I think altogether. I can't tell you specifics, but we definitely talk about it and work on it––like in spring training. Just from my standpoint, I know it has been an emphasis ever since I've been in the organization. And it has always been something where I've known––and the coaches have known––that I'm going to have to cut it out at some point.
So I think there is definitely an emphasis in our organization on being quick to home and giving the catchers and first base a chance. It even cuts down––like secondaries and stuff like that––so it gives you a chance to roll a double play and all that. I definitely think it's an emphasis.
Cole: Did you cut out the leg kick in spring training this year? Or was it after?
Erlin: No, I actually did it this year. Once I got here.
Cole: How has the transition gone? Has it affected you in any way when going out of the stretch?
Erlin: It was a little different at first––just because, with the leg kick, it was really similar to my windup. So it was easy to locate a pitch and stay the same and keep the rhythm. It changed that up a little bit.
But, working with Brad (Holman) and just repeating it and repeating it and having him watching and letting me know if it gets too high or whatever––that definitely helps on the repeatability and consistency of it.
Cole: You had a span of a few starts this season where you haven't worked out of the stretch much, if even at all. Clearly that's not a bad thing, but how comfortable do you feel with it considering you haven't had a ton of opportunities out of the stretch yet?
Erlin: I feel comfortable. One thing Brad and I talked about last week is not worrying about mechanics to a point where it's bad for you. At some point, you have to let your athleticism take over. All the guys that are playing now have been playing baseball their whole lives.
At some point, you just have to let that take over. I thought about that. When runners were on last game, I just let it take over and just pitched like I've been pitching my whole life. That really helped. I've been pretty comfortable out of the stretch so far.
Cole: For a guy that is only a couple years removed from high school, you are obviously advanced for your age in terms of how you sequence pitches and attack hitters in general. How did you get to that point? Do you study how certain major league pitchers attack hitters?
Erlin: Yeah, definitely. Definitely watching big league pitchers––even if it's on TV––you can always learn stuff. And just really, last season, talking to Brad during games when I'm in the dugout. Last year, the hitting coach––Jason Hart. I talked to Hart quite a bit during the games about what he sees in the swing and what their weaknesses and strengths would be. And talking to Julio Garcia here, the hitting coach.
If you talk to them and get their point of view and perspective on it, once you go into a game, it's going to stick. You can be like, 'Oh, okay, I saw that last game with this guy. So he's probably going to have the same tendency.' You go with it, trust your gut, and try to exploit it.
Cole: When you're charting in the stands and you're going to face that same team later in the series, are you generally paying a little extra attention to what the hitters are doing?
Erlin: Most definitely.
Cole: When I watched you in spring training, I noticed you were throwing your changeup to both left- and right-handed batters. You didn't really throw much of a changeup in high school, right?
Erlin: No. I think it has come a long way. I always liked it. But, like I've said before, it just speeds up hitters' bats in high school. And now, in pro ball, everybody can hit a fastball. So I've just learned to throw it and trust it. I'm comfortable throwing it at any point with any hitter. I'm happy with how it has progressed.
Cole: Between the changeup and the curveball, do you feel more confident in a particular secondary pitch at this point?
Erlin: I like them both. It just depends on the situation and the hitter and all that.
Cole: How do you feel about your performance so far this year?
Erlin: I feel pretty good. I can't say that I'm really sharp or anything. I'm still working toward that. I'm working toward consistency. There is still a lot of room to improve. That's just my focus––you can't get complacent. You just have to go out every day and do what's going to help you reach your ultimate goal, which would be to pitch at the highest level. That's just kind of what I'm focusing on.
Cole: I've asked this to both the pitchers and the hitters that I've interviewed with the Myrtle Beach club. But being in a small eight-team league, do you become somewhat familiar with your opponents?
Erlin: Definitely. We keep a book––the pitching staff. Brad always has it with him. We'll write down whatever we see in a hitter. And the next day, if we're playing the same team and the same lineup, we'll go over what we saw and any notes that we wrote down. And then, when we play the next series a couple weeks down the road or maybe a month down the road, we'll go back to that sheet. We'll be like, 'Okay, these guys are in the lineup. This is what we saw last time.' So we kind of have something to go off.
Cole: Perhaps the only negative from your stat line this season is the home runs. You've given up seven so far. Because you aren't allowing many other base runners, they've pretty much all been solo shots. But is that something you think about much?
Erlin: No. I definitely don't think about it. It's just one of those things that happens. I guess you could say I know why I gave them up. A lot of them were hitter's counts, and I would challenge. And on a lot of them, I missed my spot, which is completely my fault and my responsibility. They're geared up for it and they hit it.
But each one I've given up, I've learned something from. I just try and build off it. I don't think about it much. I try to take the situation of the game into account. Like when I'm facing the big hitters in the lineup, I'm just trying to keep the ball on the ground the best I can and in the ballpark.
Cole: As you look forward to the remainder of your season, what would you like to improve on the most?
Erlin: Still mechanics. I'm still working on just some little things in my delivery. So I definitely want to work on that. And just locating all my pitches for strikes. I want to have good mindsets going into games––attacking hitters and being aggressive and that sort of stuff.

Human Appeal UK team visit Pakistan projects
A team of Human Appeal staff have travelled to Pakistan to visit cities devastated by recent floods and the 2005 earthquake.
The team of fundraisers arrived earlier this week and have visited Muzafrabad, Kashmir; Tharpakar, Sindh as well as Faislabad and Jhang, Punjab. The group have been talking to locals to identify their needs and assess the support that has already taken place.
During the visit to Tharpakar, Human Appeal saw one of its most recent projects, the installation of solar powered hand pumps. The charity is the first to have provided these in the city. The hand pumps allow villagers to draw water from wells without having to manually operate them.
Human Appeal has a track record of responding to emergency disasters in Pakistan.
In 2005, an appeal for the victims of the devastating Kashmir earthquake that resulted in 70,000 deaths was launched, which supported 962 families across 10 villages with food parcels, blankets and shelter. In 2007, when devastating floods and storms hit Pakistan, Human Appeal provided early relief, including water and shelter to 35,000 affected victims. In 2010, following the country's worst ever floods, food parcels, clean water, bedding and tents were provided, as well as a mobile clinic in the SWAT region.
The visit comes ahead of Human Appeal's Welcome Ramadan tour in aid of Rebuilding Lives in Pakistan.

7 types of workers in the company
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes
Knowing how our colleagues work enables us, as a company, to shepherd them towards attaining their objectives and to make full use of their contributions.
It is important to ascertain which team members may have specific aptitudes for certain jobs, such as concentration, the ability to work for hours on end, to interact with others, etc. This allows each leader to know his or her team and to distribute the work as efficiently as possible.
As a leader, have you ever asked yourself what your team's skills are? In a recent e-book, PGI classified the most common types of remote employees: How do they behave? How do they perceive their work?
This e-book recognises 7 different types of remote employees, which I list below. How can each one capitalise on the advantages of an Enterprise Social Network?
1. The 24/7 Worker:
We all know someone who answers emails at whatever time of day. This worker is a highly-dedicated stress junkie, so he exploits the advantages of an internal social network more effectively, since it will allow him to communicate with his colleagues at any time.
2. The Multitasker:
He's the one who always has more than one tab open on his browser, at the same time as he's sharing information via his smartphone and checking tasks pending on his tablet. This type of worker has to be constantly on the go, so the benefits of a multi-platform enterprise social network will help him to attain his work goals and to focus on his setting.

Not everyone might not be comfortable in pursuing this alternative process, but it appears that the update is available through Samsung's some times wobbly Kies mini software. Granted that they provide step-by-step instructions on installing the update, some people may still be put off having to do some manual work in getting their handset up to par with Froyo. But if you feel up to a challenge, you can follow the directions and find your smartphone finally up to the levels of some newer devices on the market.
However, it's worth noting that there is no 64-bit Windows or Mac support at this time.

New Kautex sales office opens in Moscow
Kautex Maschinenbau expands its customer service in Russia and the neighboring regions.
Russia's automotive industry is booming. Countless global automotive suppliers have set up operations around Saint Petersburg, and they rely on the support of experienced partners such as Kautex Maschinenbau. In December 2011, the company expanded its presence in Russia and opened a sales office in Moscow. As a result, it is better placed to service its customers and keep its finger on the pulse of the Russian market.
There is high demand for blow molding machinery for the production of automotive body parts and packaging for products such as motor oil and car care products. But now spare parts can also be supplied quickly and with a minimum of red tape. Alexander Silin, manager of the Russian office, is a specialist in plastics engineering. From the Moscow office, he and two colleagues look after customers in central Russia and the southern states, along with certain key accounts. And
from his base in Togliatti, service technician Sergey Charikov makes sure that machinery customers in Russia receive the excellent Kautex service. The team is rounded off by Olga Bolotina, who also has many years of experience in the blow molding business. She mainly looks after customers in Belarus and the northern states from a branch office in Saint Petersburg.

Gauges off, yes crank, no start and several stalls, help!
Alright, so I am having some problems with my 1997 Jeep Wrangler 2.5l. There are a few incidents recently (past two days) that I would assume are related.
Incident 1:
I was at a stop light not particularly paying attention, and when the light turned green I put my Jeep in first gear and eased on the gas and noticed my engine had died. Thinking I had stalled it, I tried starting it but it just cranked (sounded fine) but wouldn't start. I pushed it into a near by parking lot and was taking a closer look at everything and couldn't find anything wrong under the hood. I then got back in and noticed that all my gauges were all the way down, but the fuel gauge, battery gauge, and oil gauge would usually have some value with the position the key was at. I took the key out and went back to my visual inspection. Still not finding anything wrong I started pushing towards my Apartment (it was about a block away) and I pushed it about 5 feet and then stopped to put the key in the ignition and all my gauges turned right on and I was able to start it fine and it immediately died. I started it a second time and drove home with no further issues.
Incident 2:
The next day I took the jeep on a test drive for a while to see if the incident would show its head again so I would know if I could drive to work or not. The Jeep fired up fine and drove like nothing was wrong, so I headed off to work. After about a 15 mi drive on the freeway, I got off at my exit and came to a nearly complete stop and then put it in first and tried to accelerate, but I felt the engine slowly (about 4 seconds) fade out and die. The gauges turned off and it cranked but wouldn't start. I turned the key from all the way off to all the way on 3 times and the gauges turned back on and I was able to get to work.
Incident 3:
After work I was stopping at the store and I when I turned on my turn signal and started to brake (still in gear) the engine died, power steering, brakes, and radio and gauges went out, as well as the check engine light coming on. I pulled in to the parking lot and stopped in the first spot. The jeep fired right back up and I drove to the front of the parking lot and parked it.
Incident 4:
After the store, I was driving home on the free way (about 65mph in 4th gear) and I felt the engine start to die, I'm not quite sure how to describe the feeling of the car besides it was a complete loss of engine power and gauges all dropped to 0, but then after about 3 second everything turned back on and I had no problems the rest of my drive (i slowed down to 55 and put in 5th).
Any ideas on what my problem is? Reading around I've found related problems with the fuel, fuel pump, crank shaft sensor as the culprit, but does any body have any similar experiences that they found a solution for? All of the incidents happened after driving on the freeway, which for my little 2.5L is quite a task, could this be part of the problem? I know the 2.5L TJs have a tendency to throw a rod, is this an early sign of this? Please let me know, anything helps!
have you gotten any error codes??
I tried but the check engine light only stays on for a second and scans fine the rest of the time.
especially because you get no codes... now before you run out and buy a computer weight the pro's and con's
I would start with your sensors at your throttle body.... that's about $180 bucks....
computer $180- $ 270
if you have a buddy that's willing to borrow a computer then you could test it that way... I have a 4.0
but check out this write up that this guy did on his computer he had a failure to start problem too.. like you described... but they hear clicking only noise ... read up on this see if any of this helps...
Also an AIC will cause all kinds of a hate and discontent.. remove it with a torx screw driver and make sure its squeaky clean inside there.... carbon build up will cause the plunger to not seat or even move which could create hovac..
So this means my PCM is going bad and needs to be replaced?
It could be the crank position sensor. Had same issue with mine, the shop that did some work on it forgot to bolt mine back in place, same symptoms. Yours could be going bad.
Anybody else have any ideas before I just start replacing stuff? Does that error code mean PCM or could that still be crank shaft sensor?
Sounds like a Crank position sensor.
Alright, I just order a new cps, I'll keep everybody posted on how it goes once it gets here and I get around to installing it!
I just did the crank position sensor in my girls jeep, the wiring harness for it touched the exhaust manifold melting it...
Need some assistance with similar issue.
Maybe someone could help me out. I have a 1997 wrangler 2.5 5spd. The other day I left class and got about 3 miles before the jeep died on me while going about 50 mph. Kind of started trying to die and sputtered out. I was unable to get it started. I had it towed home the next day. Meanwhile I immediately looked on the forum for more info. The jeep would not start at all when I was checking it out in the garage, I first checked the relay in the engine bay and found that it was good by swapping with the horn relay. I then checked the fuses and found a blown 20 amp fuse which I believe to be the fuel pump fuse. "My initial thought when this happened was fuel pump anyway". I put a new 20 amp fuse in and tried to start it, the jeep will try to start but will not run for more than a second or two at a time when it even starts at all. I do smell gas now and can hear fuel pump running when key is turned on. My jeep has always had the slow start issue that is detailed in many of these threads. I am sure the FPR needs to be replaced but haven't worried about it because it always eventually started. So now I am thinking crank shaft position sensor. Not only because of the threads I am seeing but because I had to replace clutch 3 weeks ago which involved pulling trans and wiring underneath. So maybe a plug cam loose or I am losing connection somewhere? Maybe the CPS went bad? What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
My sensor was tucked behind the air box that goes into the engine, hard to see in the first picture
I had to crawl under my jeep to get to the cps, but it wasn't too hard to spot once I was down there.

text: Hiya, I've always loved writing in some form. Writing a novel or short story would be a big achievement for me, although I'm much more apt at writing short philosophical snippets or probing aspects of society, physics. At the I'm looking to stretch my skills a bit and get in some writing done on a consistent basis to expand my writing skills and style. So hopefully between my crazy work/college/social life I'll be able to put down some decent projects. As for me, I'm very philosophical, abstract thinker, almost with an out of the box perspective on life. A hopeless romantic, ver much interested in martial arts, dance and music. Hmm. That's all I can muster for now.

- 911 Grant Program
Alberta's Emergency 911 Act came into force on April 1, 2014. The Act established the Alberta 911 Grant Program under the Alberta Emergency Management Agency. The objective of the 911 Grant Program is to strengthen and support local delivery of 911. This is being done using funding generated from a monthly 911 levy on cellphones, and by developing provincial standards for 911. All of this is being done in close collaboration with Alberta's 911 centres.
The 911 grant money is separate from general government revenue and program administrative costs (including staff salaries) are paid out of the levy, not general government revenue. As such, the program is a self-sustaining, perpetual grant program. This funding is a statutory appropriation, so money can only be spent on the very specific purpose of 911 call answering. It is meant to enhance, not replace existing funding streams. Eligible costs include: staffing, training, hardware and software, resiliency, facility enhancements, and upgrades for "Next Generation" 911.
Only 911 centres can access the funding. In Alberta, 911 centres are primarily run by municipalities, but there are some run by regional collectives as well as private companies.

The MWAP is a province-wide program developed by Alberta Environment and Parks and the Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA). The program is intended to help reduce both the risk and loss associated with wildfires and is designed to assist municipalities with extraordinary costs for the suppression of wildfires when they occur.
For the purposes of eligibility, the term "wildfire" includes any unwanted or unplanned wild land fire that burns in forested or grassland areas anywhere in the province of Alberta other than the Forest Protection Area or on federal lands.
For more information please visit the website using the link above.
Budget 2016-17: MWAP does not budget for disasters. The program is funded as disasters occur.
- Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater Partnership (AMWWP)/ Water for Life
This project-specific program supports eligible municipalities with the capital construction of municipal water supply and treatment, and wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
Municipalities with populations up to a maximum of 45,000, Regional Services Commissions, and eligible hamlets within rural municipalities may apply for this competitive project-based capital grant.
The AMWWP is a cost-shared program and provincial funding varies with the service population of the applicant. Under the Water for Life component, construction of regional water and wastewater systems may be provided with enhanced cost-shared funding.
The AMWWP is administered by the Ministry of Transportation. Applications for project funding must include a formal request for grant funding, a copy of the project proposal, a copy of the project plan and other supporting documentation. Program information can be found on the Alberta Transportation website.
Budget 2016-17: $130 million
- Basic Municipal Transportation Grant (BMTG)
The BMTG program provides allocation-based support to Alberta municipalities for capital transportation infrastructure.
Provincial grant funding is provided annually to municipalities for eligible priority transportation infrastructure. The Minister approves the annual allocations and municipalities must submit a list of proposed work (Application for Program Acceptance - APA) for coming years. APAs must be completed through the Transportation Department's online system: Municipal Grants Management Application (MGMA). Eligible capital projects include: construction and rehabilitation of local and regional roads and streets, rehabilitation and construction of municipal bridges, and municipally-owned infrastructure for transit service systems (e.g., light rail train lines and stations, bus terminals and transit passenger vehicles such as buses and light rail trains).
Effective April 1st, 2014, this program is consolidated with the Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) Capital Program, administered by Municipal Affairs. Applications proposing to use BMTG funding allocated in 2013 and previous years should continue to be submitted to Alberta Transportation.
More information about the BMTG can be found on the website.
- Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF)
Announced in September 2016, the Federal Government's PTIF will provide $347.2 million over three years (2016-17 to 2018-19), for public transit projects across Alberta. PTIF-funded projects will support rehabilitation of public transit systems, planning of future system improvements and expansions, enhanced asset management, and system optimization and modernization. Investments under this federal program will help reduce commute times, cut air pollution, strengthen communities and grow Canada's economy. For more information please see Infrastructure Canada's PTIF webpage.
In addition to PTIF funding, the Government of Alberta is also committing funding to support these projects. The types of projects eligible for the third call of GreenTRIP applications, which closed on August 31, 2016, were expanded to align with those eligible for PTIF. This change gives municipalities greater flexibility to maximize the use of both programs.
The PTIF has been fully subscribed; no new applications are being solicited. Alberta municipalities that have projects which meet the PTIF criteria have been asked to work with Alberta Transportation to move the projects forward.
Budget 2016-2019: $347.2 million
- Green Transit Incentives Program (GreenTRIP)
The GreenTRIP is a competitive, application-based program supporting public transit capital infrastructure projects that mutually support government and regional or municipal priorities.
Project-specific capital funding under the program is available to successful proponents, which may include: municipalities, regional entities and other groups partnering for eligible public transit initiatives. Eligible initiatives include the development and construction of local, regional and inter-municipal capital public transit projects.
Funds are allocated on a project-specific basis and the GreenTRIP program does have a cost-sharing requirement.
The GreenTRIP Program is administered by Alberta Transportation. Project submission forms and additional information can be accessed from the Alberta Transportation website. The deadline for third call for submission is August 31, 2016.
More information about GreenTRIP can be found on the website.
Budget 2016-17: $125 million
- Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program (STIP)
The STIP provides financial assistance to municipalities for developing and maintaining key transportation infrastructure that promotes economic growth and improves mobility, while also supporting job creation. STIP does this through strategic, project-specific investment in capital construction and rehabilitation of important local transportation infrastructure such as local road bridges, community airports and resource roads. Funding is provided to municipalities, based on highest project ranking, on a cost-share basis. The Minister of Transportation approves individual projects.
Budget 2015 restored funding to this critical program after STIP was unfunded for new projects for the three previous years. A total of 35 million in new funding for STIP is now available for 2017-18.
The government also consulted with municipalities and key stakeholders in spring 2016 to ensure the criteria and application process achieved the most efficient and cost-effective results possible upon reinstatement.
Applications are due February 3, 2017, for funding in the 2017-18 year.
More information about STIP can be found on the website.

Four miners were shot and injured yesterday, apparently by security guards using rubber bullets, at a gold mine owned by the South African president Jacob Zuma's nephew and a grandson of Nelson Mandela.
The shooting comes after firebrand politician Julius Malema visited the Aurora gold mine last week and told fired mineworkers that he was going to make South African mines ungovernable. Police spokeswoman Pinky Tsinyane said four miners were shot and that police have arrested four people for public violence.
Two weeks ago, police killed 34 striking miners at a platinum mine. The 270 miners arrested at the scene of that mass shooting north-west of Johannesburg were due to start being released yesterday after the government decided to review the charges, which sparked widespread public anger. Nobody from the South African police, or the company that owns the mine, London-listed Lonmin, has so far been censured.
"The murder charge against the current 270 suspects, which was provisional anyway, will be formally withdrawn provisionally in court on their next court appearance," said Nomgcobo Jiba, the acting national director of prosecutions. It is believed that all of the miners will be freed by Thursday, once their addresses have been verified by court officials.
The arrests caused anger at the highest level of the South African government, with the country's justice minister questioning the move by South African prosecutors.

Scene Five
the outside of the tower
Most of ENSEMBLE stand around being trees and shrubs, while the taller ones gather SL in a sort of semi-circle, like the base of the tower. WITCH enters SR and walks SL.
NARR. 1: One day, when the witch went to see Rapunzel...
PRINCE enters SL, walking slowly, trying not to be seen by the WITCH. A couple of times, WITCH glances round and PRINCE hides behind a tree.
NARR. 1: A prince who happened to be riding by saw her, and decided to follow her.
NARR. 2: As you do.
WITCH exits SL. PRINCE is CS.
WITCH: (from offstage) Oi! Rapunzel! Chuck your hair down, will you?
PRINCE: What the... ?
As NARR. 1 speaks, PRINCE looks gradually further upwards (like he's watching WITCH climbing).
NARR. 1: The prince watched in surprise as the witch climbed up the outside of the tower.
PRINCE: I must find out what beautiful maiden lives up in that tower!
NARR. 2: He decided.
NARR. 1: (He was particularly poetic, this prince.) And so he waited patiently as it grew darker and darker. Eventually, he saw the witch climbing down the outside of the tower again, and hid as she passed.
WITCH enters SL, looking around her, and hurries offstage SR.
NARR. 2: And then he decided to pay a visit to Rapunzel.
PRINCE: I shall pay a visit to that beautiful maiden!
NARR. 1: Huh. Not very original, is he?

Alan Patton - Jailed After Collecting Urine Out Of Burger King Toilet
Delaware, Ohio (The Weekly Vice) - Alan Patton, a 59-year-old Ohio man was jailed Friday after he allegedly collected another person's urine out of a fast food toilet - a behavior he's been arrested for in the past.
According to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, an off-duty deputy using the restroom at a local Burger King restaurant became suspicious when he observed Patton acting strangely in and around a toilet inside the restaurant.
After observing Patton for several minutes and attempting to speak to him, the deputy discovered that he had placed a device inside the toilet for the purpose of collecting urine. What's more, the restroom was near a play area where children were known to congregate.
Patton was arrested and convicted last year after he was caught collecting urine out of another local business. At the time, Patton could only be charged with criminal mischief because no law existed that specifically banned the act of collecting a person's urine.
The behavior prompted lawmakers to create a law making it illegal to collect an person's bodily substance without their consent. And now that law is being put to good use.
Patton was booked into the Delaware County Jail on charges of criminal mischief and unlawful collection of a bodily substance. His bond was set at $7,500.

The Second Camp
I glanced at them. I only saw one pitiful soldiers, but a soldier I could use a tool to get my mother back none the less.
"You," I kicked out at him, "Where's your base?"
He just stammered at me so I lashed out again, "Your base? Where is it?"
"I don't know, I don't know!" He cried. I spat at him. Scum.
"I take you, if you not kill me" A head shorter than even me, I admired him courage.
"Good, get on with it." I nudged him in front.
As the reality of loosing my mother sunk into me, I wished I could take my ponytail down and hide my shamed face from the world. Through the rest of the night, the short German led me around the shore. Occasionally we would stop and drink from containers he had brought with him. I drank my own, why should I trust them?
Then we slipped down underneath the rocks. Wary, I prodded the German.
"Is right way, is right way." He assured.
The small grubby tunnel opened up into a large cave full of campfire light and the smell of woodsmoke.
I was surrounded by German's before I knew what was going on. Their swords were pointed at me, daggers drawn and teeth bared.
"Mother." I whispered hopefully.
"Who are you, who take one of my men like you own him?" A fluent German stood before me, towering over my short stature.
"I lost my mother." I could think of nothing else to say, I was so terrified.
"Put her with the others." I do not know why he said it in English, maybe to terrify me even more.
It worked. But they had neglected to disarm me. Smoothly, my sword swung out of its sheath as I grasped the handle and swung it around. My own blade was met by others. From all the training mother had given me, I was much more skilled than them and their textbook moves. Mother and I invented our own and I learnt how to be creative under pressure. Strange, it was almost as if Mother had been training me for this moment.
I killed one, my blade slipping comfortably through his ribs. Another one fell by my feet. Then another. The soldiers surged forward, more coming at me than I could handle. Someone tore my sword from my hand and two others slammed my body to the floor.
I writhed and struggled against them, but they were too heavy.

(ATLANTA) — Many children love caring for small pets such as turtles or lizards. But could having them around boost children's risks of contracting Salmonella infection? The answer is yes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC says reptiles (such as turtles, snakes and lizards) and amphibians (such as frogs and toads) can be a source of Salmonella in humans. These creatures can easily pick up Salmonella germs lurking in their tanks or aquariums after being shed in their own droppings.
"Many people don't know that turtles and other reptiles can carry harmful germs that can make people very sick. For this reason, turtles and other reptiles might not be the best pets for your family, especially if there are children 5-years-old and younger or people with weakened immune systems living in your home," Casey Barton Behravesh DVM, DrPH, Deputy Chief of the CDC's Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch said in a CDC release.
The CDC warning comes as the agency, along with government and state health officials, is launching a collaborative investigation into six overlapping, multistate human Salmonella outbreaks. The CDC says the outbreaks are linked to turtles or their habitats.
More than 160 Salmonella illnesses have been reported from 30 states, 64 percent of those cases have occurred in children age 10 or younger. Twenty-seven percent of the cases reported in children have been in infants one year or younger, the CDC says. Fifty-six percent are hispanic.
The CDC suggests these tips when handling turtles and other reptiles:
ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water immediately after touching a reptile or anything in the area where they live and roam. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available. Adults should always supervise hand washing for young children.
