Ministries for the Human Journey
The Labyrinth: A Sacred Path for Pilgrims
Walking the Labyrinth: Starting early in the first Century Christians made regular pilgrimages to the Holy Land with the desire to grow spiritually closer to Jesus. Eager to pray at the sites of Christ's ministry, pilgrims walked hundreds of miles, praying and singing on the way. During the Middle Ages, this practice became impossible because of wars. To respond to the spiritual needs of the people many churches in France, England and Germany built labyrinths to enable pilgrims to make symbolic journeys to the "Holy Land", striving to unite themselves in spirit with Christ.
Hermitages at Nazareth Retreat Center
A place apart, a hermitage provides solitude for prayer and reflection. It is a place where one can just be, following no time schedule. It provides an atmosphere for prayer and reflection.

That's what we told him, Theresa, but he has sent us an article from a local
source that says they are looking for nest sites. They drum to attract mates,
and if they find a space that sounds hollow, they make a hole for a nest. The
spaces inside the walls are not large enough for their nests - need to be six
inches or more deep - so they move on to another hollow-sounding space.
This is partly a result of urban sprawl - suitable dead trees have been
removed. My son says the recommended remedy is to build a suitable
birdhouse for the fickers.

In the last couple of years, I have bought a Mossy 500, 2 Maverick 88s, and an NEA single bbl 20 gauge at Wally. They are no different than the same models sold at other stores.
If a certain gun at WalMart is lacking in some feature that that gun usually has at other places, then it is actually a different model and the price reflects that.
If you want fancy or pretty, go elsewhere, but I know that the Mossy and Mavericks will pattern as well as any gun out there, and I bet that Wally Marlin will shoot as well as any other Marlin.

Social Connection in "The Science of Happiness"By Tchiki Davis | October 21, 2014 | 0 comments
Our online course has registered more than 110,000 students. Which of them feel most connected to other people?
The GGSC's online course, "The Science of Happiness," emphasizes the importance of social connection to happiness. But how socially connected are our students—and how does their connection relate to other aspects of their lives, like their age and relationship status?
We have some interesting answers, thanks to data from the survey that we provided to our students at the start of the course. More than 30,000 of them have completed it so far.
This is the second in a series of posts reporting on findings from the survey. The first described how students' happiness levels correlated with their age, gender, and more.
This time we focus on the power of social connection. Look for more posts as we continue to analyze the survey results, including data on how happiness varies by country. At the end of the class, we'll also invite students to take a final survey that will help us track changes in happiness from the start to the end of "The Science of Happiness."
Who feels socially connected?
To gauge students' sense of social connection, we asked them to rate how closely they see themselves in relation to the people they encounter in daily life. We also measured their level of loneliness by asking about their tendency to feel socially isolated.
First, we looked at whether students' age is related to their feelings of social connectedness. We found that, as people age, they generally feel less lonely and more connected to others; one notable exception is students born in the 2000s, who indicated higher levels of connection than people born in some earlier decades.
These general findings make sense given our previous finding that happiness is marginally higher among older students.
Next we looked at gender. As the figures below indicate, our survey data suggest that females in the class feel somewhat less lonely and more connected to others than males do.
Third, we tested whether our students' standing in their community is related to their feelings of social connectedness. We measured "community standing" by presenting students with a ladder and asking them to indicate where they'd place themselves on the hierarchy. This isn't necessarily their socioeconomic status, just their place within a given community.
Our survey data suggest that community standing is negatively associated with loneliness and positively associated with social connection.
Finally, we tested whether students' relationship status is associated with their feelings of social connectedness. Our survey data suggest, for the most part, that being in a relationship is associated with less loneliness and greater feelings of connection; however, this effect varies somewhat depending on the specific relationship status. For example, students who had been widowed reported being more socially connected than students who were single.

text: Eyebrow Threading is the method of providing a shape the eyebrows of an individual using a thin cotton thread. A thin thread is doubled, and then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair and then plucked at the follicle level. The thread twists, holds the hair and plucks it out from the follicle. While in tweezing, single hairs are pulled out one at a time which is painful and time consuming. Whereas in threading, a short line of hair is removed at a time. It gives a precise and defined shape to the eyebrows depending upon the facial features of the person.

PERTH, Australia (AFP) – An explosion in an electrical transformer room at a shopping centre in the west Australian city of Perth has left two men dead and two others badly burnt, authorities said Tuesday.
Western Australia police said a 30-year-old man died at the scene while three other men were taken to Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries.
"Tragically, one of the three men taken to hospital has since passed away," police said in a statement.
Witnesses spoke of their horror at seeing the men, thought to be working in an area near the electrical transformer, come running out after the morning explosion.
"I came driving in and saw three people come running out… they were on fire," Jonathan McDonagh told Australian Associated Press, saying he tried to help the injured, taking off his shirt and using it to put out the flames.
"I had the radio on and didn't hear the bang, but I saw a puff of smoke.
"One fella was dead on the ground. I saw another moving around, obviously not OK. I gave him a good helping hand, as much as I could.
"They were really burnt badly."

dinCloud on a Roll With Latest Customer Win
King's Hawaiian Selects dinCloud's Hosted Virtual Desktop Solution to Increase IT Efficiency and Reduce Costs
"The desktop virtualization market is shifting to a more holistic approach as IT professionals look for solutions to simplify workspace management,"
King's Hawaiian, a well-known, family-owned and operated Hawaiian food company and commercial bakery, has been delighting palates young and old since its founder, Robert R. Taira, created the recipe for Original Hawaiian Sweet Bread nearly 60 years ago in Hilo, Hawaii. Today, they operate more than 270,000 square feet of baking facilities in Torrance, California and Oakwood, Georgia.
King's Hawaiian was looking for a cost effective, one-stop solution that could eventually help them expand internationally. Additionally, they wanted a provider that could reliably manage day-to-day operations so their IT team could focus on the value added tasks of the core business. After a rigorous RFP process, that included several big name cloud vendors, King's Hawaiian chose dinCloud.
dinCloud provided King's Hawaiian with hosted virtual desktops (dinHVD), hosted virtual servers (http://www.dincloud.com/
"Dell vWorkspace combined with thin clients and the unique value of dinCloud, provides companies with unmatched flexibility, high performance, desktop security, support and ROI that allows them to address the demands of today's dynamic business environment,"
"dinCloud provided an exceptional level of support during King's Hawaiian's transition to the cloud, and our valued white glove treatment continues even after the on-boarding process," said Saad Shahzad, senior vice president and chief strategy officer, dinCloud. "Throughout the implementation, we were able to leverage one of our trusted reseller partners, pulling in specialists to help meet King's Hawaiian's unique user needs on an as needed basis. Most businesses aren't typically awarded those kinds of resources, but we offered these additional services and value adds from the beginning."

Jammin' Me

|Single by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
|from the album Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)
|"Make That Connection"
|April 18, 1987
|Heartland rock
|Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Mike Campbell
|Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers singles chronology
"Jammin' Me" is the first single from Let Me Up (I've Had Enough), an 1987 album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It is co-written by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Mike Campbell. The heartland rock tune has been included in Petty's 'best of' albums Playback and Anthology: Through the Years.
Background and lyrics[edit]
On the True Confessions tour between Tom Petty and Bob Dylan (who both later became members of the Traveling Wilburys), they collaborated on this track which became the opening track on the album.[1] The song is about a man "overwhelmed by the volume of disconnected "news" generated in the disinformation age"[2] containing a "laundry list"[1] of 1980s celebrities such as Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, and Vanessa Redgrave, and the apple in young Steve's eye obviously referring to Steve Jobs at Apple, among others.[1] It follows in line with an ongoing theme throughout the album of people "who are reeling from media assaults and shattered relationships", but have a strong desire to survive in order to make sense of the world.[2] Some of the lyrics came from Dylan and Petty picking words out of a newspaper and off the television.[3]
Release and reception[edit]
"Jammin' Me" was released as the first single from Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) in 1987. It hit number one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart as well as number #18 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] It became Petty's third single to hit number one on the Album Rock (later known as Mainstream Rock) chart and stayed there for four weeks; previous songs to top this chart were "The Waiting" in 1981 and "You Got Lucky" in 1982.[5] Critics were generally favorable towards the single with Allmusic comparing it to the Rolling Stones song "Start Me Up", saying "the fabulous groove is positively infectious".[1] Rolling Stone complimented Petty and Campbell's "raw guitar chords" and Benmont Tench's "honky-tonk piano fills".[2] The song has become a standard in Petty's live sets with "astounding results".[1] When "Jammin' Me" was performed during the Heartbreakers impressive multi performances at the Fillmore in 1997 and 1999, Petty played lead guitar, rather than Campbell. Despite the high chart position, the song failed to appear on the 1993 Greatest Hits package, but did appear on the Playback and Anthology: Through the Years compilations.

Here is helpful information about Quebec City, Quebec
When you're in Québec City, there are many architectural and cultural attractions to explore. Get into your car rental and get going – you simply must see the famed Château Frontenac hotel! Other top attractions include the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization), the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec), and the National Assembly of Quebec, which is the legislative body for the province.
Québec City dates all the way back to 16th century settlements, making it one of the oldest surviving European settlements on the entire continent! After forming the Province of Canada in 1840, the capital city was moved several times – between Toronto, Québec City, Ottawa, Montreal and Kingston – before it eventually became Ottawa.

If you're in town when the city holds its Quebec Winter Carnival, you'll find more English-speakers as you explore the city in your affordable car rental.

Meet the readers: Katia Grubisic
We're introducing you to the 10 talented Canadian poets who helped narrow down more than 2,300 entries for the 2011-2012 CBC Poetry Prize to create the longlist.
Up next, writer, editor and translator Katia Grubisic on artists' civic responsibilities, and poets' special privileges with prepositions.
Tell us about yourself. Where do you live and what do you write?
I write poetry and fiction when blank swaths of time permit; I also work with any sentence that needs to be generated, repaired or translated.
What's your day job?
Freelance writer, editor and translator. Not as romantic as it might seem, but often edifying; see above!
What's your literary street cred?
Why did you want to be a reader for the CBC Poetry Competition?
I firmly believe that artists have civic responsibilities—curatorial or guest-editing stints, sitting on juries, mentorship, involvement in their professional associations Not all of it, not all at once, and not at the expense of the work, but it's important to be part of the larger conversation, and to give back a bit of what we all benefit from.
What do you like most about poetry?
Poets can end sentences with prepositions with impunity.
When you're reading hundreds of poems and trying to choose the most exceptional ones, what are you looking for? Can you describe a couple of the entries that struck you as standouts?
For an essay on the anatomy of a prize-winning poem in Arc Poetry Magazine last year, I talked with Patricia Young, who, like many writers, has judged a number of contests. I like her process—in rereading her good and excellent piles, she removes the poems she can live without. The last one standing wins.
The poems on my longlist for the CBC Poetry Competition felt necessary in this way—one played in my head like a film I wasn't allowed to watch, another was so spare and exact it seemed predestined

Having read all these poems, do you have tips, any dos and don'ts for aspiring poets?
Pretend you are learning to play an instrument you have never seen. Pretend language is not just something anyone can use to order "fries with that". Take your work seriously, and yourself not at all.
Katia Grubisic is a writer, editor and translator. She guest-edited the acclaimed Montreal issue of The New Quarterly and the journal's non-fiction supplement, and has been the editor of Arc Poetry Magazine. From 2008 to 2012, she was the coordinator of the Atwater Poetry Project reading series. She has been guest faculty in creative writing at Bishop's University, and has taught in cegeps and for the Quebec Writers' Federation. Her work has appeared in various Canadian and international publications, and her collection of poems What if red ran out won the Gerald Lampert award for best first book.

The world is in critical need to search for alternative and renewable energy, where the importance of its technologies have been growing significantly. Due to a number of reasons, this is extremely important for the future of our society. Renewable energy still has a long way to go, in order to replace fossil fuels and become a primary source of energy consumption, but current policies, social awareness and academic research are definitely moving in the right direction.
This trend is especially relevant in the field of on-site implementation. From territorial to building scale, the energy question has turned to be essential in physical planning and design. The integration of alternative energy technology in Cities, Districts and Buildings will significantly decrease the current levels of greenhouse gas emissions, thus having a positive environmental impact for our entire planet.
The "2nd Alternative & Renewable Energy Quest, the AREQ conference organized by IEREK seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge of the integration of technologies of renewable and alternative energy in physical design. The AREQ conference is the extended version of the first conference in Spain, that aims to showcase to the international community, the groundbreaking results of the work in the fields of renewable energy research, development, application or design. It will provide a platform for researchers, scientists, manufacturers, institutions, world agencies, and societies to keep up with new developments in theory and physical design applications and to provide alternative energy solutions to current issues such as the greenhouse effect, sustainable and clean energy issues.
AREQ conference is a unique chance that provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

Attending conferences is very beneficial on the professional level Conferences are full of people promoting new ideas which will expand your knowledge and undoubtedly help your career.
You not only get to hear presentations but also converse with other researchers from different universities and even countries you may have only heard or read about.You learn from experts in the field. It is a great opportunity to find more about your field and listen to ideas that could help inspire research ideas of your own.
Not to mention, you will get an overview of the place or city where the conference is being held and learn about its people and culture.
Conferences also can expand your resources by providing a great opportunity to promote gathered information on new technologies related to your research. Moreover, they let you test them out, share teaching tools and techniques, or even obtain samples of textbooks.
It is an opportunity to engage with respectable professors and discuss with them the very latest research projects they could be working on.
Delegates will have the choice of receiving the conference proceedings as either a hard copy book or in digital format on a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive will additionally contain proceedings from previous conferences in this series.
Indexing and Archiving Papers presented at IEREK conferences regularly appear in notable reviews, publications and databases, including referencing and abstract.
Once an abstract is submitted, it will be sent to the reviewers committee to go through the revision process:
- Elementary Review:
Once an abstract has been submitted to our website, it is assigned for review by the reviewers using the abstract review sheet and validation of publication. This is based on four criteria:
· Accepted as is for publication (with minor editing changes).
· Conditionally accepted for publication (with revisions provided to authors).
· Rejected but encouraged for re-submission with major modifications.
· Rejected as inappropriate or unworthy of publication in this certain conference.
The criteria for accepting abstracts for the conference are as follows; a relevant topic of the conference should be proposed with clear writing, aims, and objectives of the study clearly presented as well as a sound literature and methodology of work.
- First Acceptance:
Authors will receive a notification message to know the feedback of the reviewers committee. If an author receives the acceptance of his or her abstract, he or she has to continue writing the full-length paper using the requested templates.
- Uploading Full-Length Paper:
Authors who are allowed to upload their full-length paper(s) should use the same account details to upload their full paper(s).
- Second Acceptance:
The final paper will proceed to the primary revision to be checked if it meets the conference proceedings standards. Once it gets accepted, the author will be informed to pay the fees so that it could be sent for the final revision by the scientific committee.
- Payment:
In this step, and to proceed paper(s) that passed to final revision process and to get the final approval, authors have to pay the requested fees. Otherwise, the final revision process will not be considered for their papers.
- Inspections and Final Approval of Full Papers:
The full papers that paid the requested fees will get finally inspected, either scientifically or linguistically. There will be a rigorous review process of full papers following the previous process according to the following criteria:
(1) Is the topic relevant to the conference?
(2) Is the writing and structure clear?
(3) Are graphics, photos, illustrations used where needed?
(4) Are the aims of the study clearly stated?
(5) Are the objectives of the study achieved?
(6) Is the literature review relevant and adequate?
(7) Has the author used appropriate methodology and explained them clearly?
(8) Has the author interpreted the findings correctly?
(9) Is the paper a significant contribution to the field?
These are the registration and revision procedures for publication that all authors should follow.
The conference proceedings will be published in full in the "ARChive" International Journal of Science.
Publication in the 'Resourceedings' Journal by Springer will only be applicable to the selected papers that will be supervised by highly professional members of an International Editorial Board to ensure a high-quality publication material. Thus, such outstanding material will lead to indexing of the series in well-known indexing databases such as Scopus and Thomson Reuters.
Publication in the ESSD international journal on Environmental Science & Sustainable developmentis also only applicable for high quality manuscripts.
*For the selected papers to be published in "Resourceedings" or "ESSD", another revision process will be added to the selected manuscripts.

But, nah, who has the time for > that? -- justin Right. And this kind of dependency is also why I'm not really in favor of [SVN] using whatever libtool APR has built. IIRC, libtool is also built specifically with the shared/static switches encoded into it. That could mean that APR might be built shared, and you wouldn't be able to build a static SVN binary. And this also goes back to the question about using jlibtool. (I was just searching for that msg to finally reply to, but this one works :-) I would love to use jlibtool, but only if the SVN config for jlibtool is separate. Regarding the whole interrelated build crap... I've been thinking lately about creating apr-build. A config and build-time project for holding the build stuff that APR* (and maybe SVN?) uses. The three projects could then share stuff like apr_common.m4 without some of the nastiness that is happening today. We also have a problem in that apr/build/rules.mk.in currently has APR_MAJOR_VERSION in it. That was a mistake :-( It means that the rules.mk file can't be shared any more. Gotta get that fixed up to enable an apr-util release... Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

The NHS is haemorrhaging its two most valuable resources – money and morale. So who is going to take the tough decisions to prevent a crisis next year?
In its latest monitoring report, the King's Fund reveals that financial problems are seeping into every part of the system – trusts, foundation trusts and clinical commissioning groups are all sliding toward deficit in substantial numbers.
One in five trusts and one in eight clinical commissioning groups say they are at risk of overspending by the end of this financial year. Monitor has previously reported that an increasing number of foundation trusts are running up deficits.
The growing financial concerns revealed by the King's Fund survey need to be seen against a backdrop of perhaps another seven years of declining, real-term NHS spending. Modest sums will no doubt be thrown at the system from time to time with great fanfare, but that will do virtually nothing to ease the overall trajectory.
The extraordinary achievement so far has been the maintenance and even improvement of clinical standards in the face of these pressures. But with both money and morale heading south, there is increasing concern that 2015 will be the year that accelerating financial problems drag care quality down with them.
The strongest indicator that the tightrope between cutting spending and maintaining quality is wobbling badly, is the serious loss of staff morale throughout the NHS. Despite the immediacy of the budget pressures, when the King's Fund asked finance directors to identify their biggest performance concern it was this issue, not A&E targets, treatment times or delayed transfers, that they most feared.
While the best trusts work relentlessly to engage clinical staff in programmes of service improvement and change, many clinicians feel disconnected from the decisions being taken around them, and see little relevance to their everyday work of the ceaseless output of plans, guidance and targets from regulators and NHS England. They do not understand how the system works, and feel its presence more as an impediment to good care than an ally in doing their best for patients. Too often it feels as if they are working for the patients, but against the NHS superstructure.
Meanwhile management teams, who have long been undervalued and denigrated by ministers and are often struggling to plan a viable future for their organisation, are now severely depleted of staff. But the maze of oversight bodies – clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), local area teams, regional teams (remember them?), senates, networks and more – struggle to deliver clear decisions on big service changes that are essential to trusts and CCGs avoiding financial crisis.
Many trusts are bogged down in months of inconclusive meetings with neighbouring hospitals trying to reconfigure services, as each fights to protect its income and the prestige of its consultants. Under the old regime, this is where strategic health authorities (SHAs) came in. They were among the less lamented bodies abolished under the NHS reforms, seen in some parts of the country as epitomising the resented top down, command and control culture. But just as gulag prisoners wept on hearing of the death of Stalin, some are beginning to shed a few tears at the loss of bodies with the clout and geographical reach to make the tough decisions about major service changes across regions.
Something needs to be done, and quickly, to take up the mantle of system leadership. In the short term, CCGs need to collaborate far more effectively to provide co-ordinated regional decisions. In the longer term a more permanent, but still clinically led solution rooted in the CCGs, needs to be found. The alternative of yet another nationwide upheaval of commissioning structures is too awful to contemplate.
Taking tough decisions will not in itself raise morale, especially among the losers. But nothing saps morale more than uncertainty born of paralysed decision-making. It prevents everyone from building a new future.
"Scale and pace" is the reform mantra, but at the moment it is only the accumulation of problems, rather than implementation of solutions, which is living up to that slogan.

AP political reporter Charles Babington, who recently touted "ample evidence that Obama is something special," is now warning that Obama is bracing against "race-based ads." Recent examples of "racially tinged" TV images like Obama wearing a turban and native Kenyan gear are "harbingers" of conservative 527-group ads to come. Babington then typically recounted the usual liberal-media suspects on racial politics – the Willie Horton ad and the crumpled-letter ad from Jesse Helms.
But he typically ignored acidulous race-baiting liberal commercials like the NAACP in 2000 suggesting that George W. Bush was dragging black victim James Byrd to death behind a pickup all over again, and the Missouri Democratic Party ad in 1998 that claimed: "When you don't vote, you let enough church explode.When you don't vote, you let another cross burn." Babington implied that the history of nasty racial politics is a one-way avenue:
U.S. politics has a long history of racially charged campaigns. Opponents hit Democrat Michael Dukakis with a now-infamous TV ad showing Willie Horton, a black inmate who raped a white woman while free on a weekend release program that Dukakis had supported.
Former Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., defeated a black opponent after airing an ad in which a white man's hands crumpled a letter informing him that he had lost a job he deserved to a minority.
Babington left out a few important facts, like the fact that Horton was a convicted murderer, in prison for viciously stabbing a gas-station attendant to death. But Babington telegraphed the media's hypersensitivity will be acute, as one of their favorite professors explained in the next paragraph of the Babington article:
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an authority on political communications at the University of Pennsylvania, said overt racial references are risky. But more subtle ads might stir doubts in voters' minds that could lead, in part, to racially tinged subjects, she said.
"The appeal that suggests that Senator Obama is 'out of touch with American values' invites audiences to ask what 'American' means," Jamieson said. Are voters being asked to link Obama to Wright's anti-American remarks? she said. "To question his patriotism? To fill in their fears and stereotypes? Foreigner? Muslim? For some, that appeal may elicit race-based reactions."
Meanwhile, another liberal professor, Drew Westen, wrote for The New Republic that McCain would have to go negative on racial matters:
[T]he only road that could take McCain to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the low road, one of the few pieces of infrastructure left in good repair by President Bush. His father paved it against Michael Dukakis, George W. Bush repaved it running against John Kerry, and the GOP repainted the dotted line in now-Senator Bob Corker's 2006 contest with Harold Ford.The path to success for McCain is to make the election a referendum on his opponent, by working in silent concert with 527 groups and media outlets such as Fox News to pursue character assassination, guilt by association, and, most of all, the effort to paint Obama as different, foreign, unlike "us," and dangerous (and did I mention that he's black?).
Westen boasted of how he showed CNN that nasty ads might be Obama's biggest vulnerability:
For any who wonder how successful this technique can be, my colleague Joel Weinberger and I recently ran a study for CNN testing the conscious and unconscious impact of three attack ads. The results were clear: The conscious and unconscious impact of an attack ad can be diametrically opposed. For example, just as exit polls showed that more than half of voters in Ohio, where she ran it, said she'd run an unfair campaign against Obama but still handed her a substantial victory, viewers of Hillary's "3 A.M." ad decried it and claimed that it made them think less of Hillary--but the words most strongly activated unconsciously about Obama by the ad were weak, Muslim, terrorist, and lightweight.
We are poised for the nastiest, most racist presidential contest in modern American history. Why? Because John McCain can't win any other way.

Brownfield/wasteland habitat
I thought this had been suggested before but can't find any discussion about it. Either way, it seems an obvious category to add and one that is not adequately covered otherwise.
Totally agree and it has been talked about, mostly under the guise of 'Urban'. Took us long enough to get the urban button (which doesn't signify what I (and you WS159) would like) so don't hold your breath. Perhaps that is the way it should be, it would be easy to end up with a plethora of habitats and subhabitats which, for this sort of site, would only be confusing for some novice.
An example: BTO volunteers have 8 main habitats to chose from, each having three subhabitat categories with each category having a choice of up to 10 options. And you know what? I still stand in an environment thinking 'I can't find a habitat combination that properly prescribes this'.
Yes, but the problem is there
Yes, but the problem is there is nowhere else to put these obs - I'm mostly categorising mine as "parks and gardens" but they're not really. I do tick the urban button too.
And a subhabitat option might be nice for those who choose, so people could stick with a top level description or refine further if they wanted that detail.
Often Used
Parks and Gardens does cover a multitude of sins doesn't it.
I wonder if Location Notes could solve this issue. So few people seem to use this feature.
If so, then a filter could be added somewhere - say Tips and Refuse; Parks and Gardens; Swimming Pool - you'll get my drift..

Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, I certainly agree with my colleague from North Carolina that it is time for us to not just reassess but readjust our policies in Afghanistan, scale it down and bring the troops home.
There's another area of consensus that I hope we can focus on: Most people agree that employment, that jobs, ought to be a priority for this Congress, for the government, for American business. Much of what you hear on Capitol Hill about creating jobs and employment is very, very contentious. Yet what is complex and controversial in Congress is not so hard when you move off the Hill, when you look at what the experts suggest, when you look at what the American people will support, for the shape of a future recovery is emerging in terms of a consensus about what we should do. I think we probably will; the question is when.
First and foremost, it is important that we rebalance our long-term programs and priorities. But in the short term, it is not only important to keep the spending levels where they are, it would be disastrous to cut it further. Chairman Bernanke said just last week that short-term increases can strengthen economic demand with a long-term adjustment to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing the deficit.
One of the first places to start is rebuilding and renewing America. Experts agree we have vast unmet needs; the Society of Civil Engineers suggests $2.3 trillion that should be spent in the next 5 years on repairing our roads and our bridges, extending and enhancing our transit system. There are two dozen cities across America that are looking at reintroducing a modern streetcar which can be done quickly and will spark investment in those communities that have that opportunity.
We have aging and inadequate water systems that leak 6 billion gallons of water a day, enough to fill 9,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools that would stretch from Washington, DC, to Pittsburgh. We have an aging and ineffective electrical grid. We have pipelines that need to be upgraded for safety. There is environmental cleanup, especially expensive Superfund sites that otherwise will continue to put a cloud over the adjacent businesses and governments.
This will create millions of family-wage jobs in the course of the next year. It is important to deal with our health care system, which is creating jobs. But, unfortunately, it's creating jobs now very inefficiently. We pay more for healthcare than anybody else in the world, by far. Compared to what other developed countries produce, we have mediocre results as a whole. Spectacular for some Americans, but overall, Americans die sooner, get sick more often, stay sick longer. By accelerating the health care reforms to provide value instead of volume of health care, we can squeeze more value and the right type of employment that will be sustainable over time and help make Americans healthier.
There is, Mr. Speaker, no question that we need in fact to pay for this over the long term. But the path here is something that most of the American public will in fact agree on, and the experts have a consensus that this is where we start, with tax equity, making sure everybody is paying their fair share adjusting user fees for infrastructure to account for inflation--not anything immediate, but over the course of the next year or two--to be able to have the cash flow to meet our obligations for transportation, for water; reinstituting the Superfund tax that expired in 1995, leaving communities with the toxic legacy.
It's important to consider a financial transaction fee, something that other European countries have--that England has had for over a century--that would in fact give stability to our stock market. This is something that's within our capacity, Mr. Speaker. I hope we do it sooner rather than later.
