|Sheriff Bennett.
Ada County Sheriff's Office.
James came to Idaho in 1886. This was a period of high optimism for stock-raising in Idaho. For example, the Idaho Statesman gushed (October 9, 1886) that the cattle business "has grown to wonderful proportions of late years." As proof, it went on, readers should consider that "Millions of dollars are invested in stock in Idaho, and the returns from this source excel all others combined."
A couple years earlier, the Oregon Short Line completed its tracks across Idaho, which further boosted stock raising. Sheep holdings particularly benefited, since sheep raisers rarely drove large flocks to distant markets. Now they didn't have to.
Bennett easily found work and, in 1888, he claimed a homestead in Ada County, some of which he still owned thirty years later. Along with his stock raising and farming, he worked for some of the regional irrigation companies. Hawley's History noted that "For eleven years he was headgate keeper and ditch walker for the Ridenbaugh ditch."
The Ridenbaugh Canal runs along the Boise Bench, today passing through the residential and business districts of southwest Boise. The Bennett Lateral is a feeder canal in that area.
That feeder was first identified publicly in 1902. The Idaho Statesman reported (June 27, 1902) on Ada County government business concerning "what is known as the Bennett Lateral." The item said, "It is therefore ordered by the County Board of Commissioners that measuring devices and weirs be placed in said canal."
Bennett's first wife, Maggie, died from tuberculosis (Idaho Statesman, October 21, 1898) and he remarried two years later. Maggie had come from an old pioneer family, with property in the Wood River area. In 1903, James was appointed executor so he could settle the estate, including payment of back taxes.
|Ridenbaugh Canal. Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District.
He then purchased a lot about five miles southeast of Boise. Later, James built a home of "generous proportions … well back from the highway in a cluster of large maples and with a terraced lawn and flower gardens in front."
He was elected Ada County sheriff in 1908. Bennett had a busy two-year term, during which the office gained a third deputy and the county jail got a new floor. Besides dealing with a rumored Tong war in the Oriental community, the sheriff also had to appear as a witness in a case before the Idaho Supreme Court. At the end of his term, Bennett returned to irrigation work and farming. (Election laws then precluded a second consecutive term.)
In the late 1910s, he served as superintendent of the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District, a unit that served over 4,000 water users. Today, that District owns the century-old water rights of the original Ridenbaugh Canal.
In 1942, Bennett moved to Meridian, where he was elected a Justice of the Peace. Ill health eventually forced him to resign, and he died in 1947.

pipeline monitoring Applications
Single Gas Monitoring - Pipeline Monitoring
Gas Detection Solutions for Pipeline Leak Detection
Natural gas pipeline owners require improved routine monitoring of pipelines for safety, economic and regulatory reasons. Leaking natural gas can cause explosions leading to loss of life and property. Loss of product through undetected leaks dramatically reduces a pipeline operator's profitability.
Pipeline Monitoring Systems for Health Monitoring
Pipeline management presents challenges that are quite unique. Their long length, high value, high risk and often difficult access conditions require continuous monitoring as well as an optimization of maintenance interventions. The main concern for pipeline owners comes from possible leakages that can have a severe impact on the environment and put the pipeline out of service for repair. Leakages can have different causes, including excessive deformations caused by earthquakes, landslides or collisions mobile objects, corrosion, wear, material flaws or third party intrusion.

Monitoring of raw water intake
The Situation:
Hydrocarbons in municipal water supplies, including fresh water and desalination systems, are commonly limited to less than 1 part per million. Surface water from rivers, lakes, or the sea with marine traffic, nearby pipelines, or regular flooding can be contaminated by hydrocarbons. Freshwater treatment systems can be damaged by hydrocarbons or allow them to pass through undetected. Desalination systems using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes can be irreversibly damaged by the presence of hydrocarbons. Continuous monitoring of water source intakes can prevent system contamination and subsequent damage. Accurate, low maintenance monitoring systems such as the TD-4100 XD and XDC have been protecting water intakes worldwide for over 20 years.

Monitoring of fuels in stormwater
The Situation
A major pipeline company has large storage tank farms throughout the Western States. The pipeline company transports, stores, blends additives, and distributes gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel to retail service stations and airports. Due to the quantity and movement of fuel at these facilities, there is always the potential for fuel spills. These facilities prevent out of compliance discharge by capturing all stormwater in storm drains, which is then sent to treatment systems prior to discharge. At some sites, groundwater from ongoing remediation is mixed with stormwater at the treatment system prior to local discharge.
By Turner Designs Hydrocarbon Instruments, Inc. based in Fresno, CALIFORNIA (USA).
Machine condition monitoring for lubricant & additive manufacturers
Many large oil companies are Spectro Scientific customers because they employ oil analysis not only to monitor their own equipment in refineries, tankers, and pipelines, but they monitor their own blended lubricant products and also frequently provide oil analysis services to customers who buy their lubricants. Many industrial and transportation companies receive oil analysis services from their lubricant supplier.
By Spectro Scientific based in Chelmsford, MASSACHUSETTS (USA).
Water Monitoring and Flow Measurement Systems for Water Supply
Although there is enough water on earth, its uneven distribution, the rising population and our carelessness drinking water starts to get short. In the future more and more pipelines for drinking water will be built all over the globe. In order to operate huge and complex pipe networks efficiently, water flow measurement and flow monitoring will become necessary. The increasing efficiency of ultrasonic flow meters will make such calculations more and more effective.
By HydroVision GmbH based in Kaufbeuren, GERMANY.
Gas Detection Solutions for Liquified Natural Gas Detection
Liquefied natural gas owners require improved routine monitoring of facilities for safety, economic and regulatory reasons. Leaking LNG can cause explosions leading to loss of life and property. Loss of product through undetected leaks dramatically reduces a pipeline operator's profitability. Traditional gas detectors are slow to reach and require a labour intensive process to keep maintained. IR detectors have been used but with limited success because of cross interference from other atmospheric gases.
Inspection, Monitoring and Management Technologies for Oil & Gas Industry
Failures to oil and gas pipelines can have severe environmental consequences and cost billions of dollars to rectify. Because of this, safety regulations governing these pipelines are becoming more stringent and visible.
By Pure Technologies based in Calgary, ALBERTA (CANADA).
Inspection, Monitoring and Management Technologies for Wastewater Force Main Management
Managing wastewater force mains has historically been difficult for owners. Traditional inspection methods applied in gravity main assessment are not applicable in force mains. Given the high consequence of a force main failure, the need for an innovative approach to managing these challenging pipeline assets is necessary to minimize environmental impact and comply with regulatory requirements.

Adam Thorne founded the Segue Institute to study and destroy his monster of a brother, but the key to its success is held in the pale, slender hand of a woman on the run. There is something hauntingly different about Talia O'Brien, her unknowing sensuality, her uncanny way of slipping into Shadow. Twilight is the place between life and what comes after- a dark forest of fantasy, filled with beauty, peril, mystery. And Talia is about to open the door.
Kellison's debut, a blend of suspense and paranormal romance, follows Adam Thorne as he attempts to unravel the mystery of the wraiths, possessed humans who feed on human souls. Desperate to free his brother from possession, Adam follows a flimsy lead to half-Fae Talia O'Brien, a young woman with a newly minted doctorate, a mysterious past, and magical abilities that stop wraiths in their tracks. As the wraiths pursue Talia, determined to destroy her in retribution for her father daring to love and impregnate a human woman, Adam tries to protect her and understand her powers, and finds himself falling in love. Fast-paced without being frenetic, interesting and entertaining if not particularly challenging, this tale deftly avoids romance clichés while delivering plenty of action. (July)

The List is an episode of Hey Arnold!.
Arnold attempts to do everything on the legendary "List for a Kid's Perfect Saturday", but all of his plans go horribly wrong.
It is Friday and school is out. The students talk about what they want to do over the weekend. Sid wants to watch cartoons, Park wants to go to the park to play catch, Harold wants to go biking ... and what about Arnold? Arnold wants to do everything! In fact, he plans to do everything that's on the legendary list, handed down from kid to kid for generations. Until now no kid has managed to do that. Gerald then speaks aloud the tasks on Arnold's list in front of their classmates in the style of a televangelist:
- to watch every cartoon from six o'clock in the morning until "Dance Craze,"
- to eat three bowls of Sugar Chunks cereal,
- to bike down the steepest hill in the city,
- to play catch with every kid in the park
- to go the movies and sit through it three times in a row.
Arnold is indeed willing to do it all. But he's not lucky at all: his alarm clock breaks when it falls off the table at night, so that he doesn't awake until 6:45. Hastily, he puts on his clothes and runs into the kitchen to eat his cereal. Unfortunately, they out of Sugar Chunks, so Arnold has to eat Prune Bran instead. As if this was not bad enough, the milk is sour. Arnold is disappointed and goes into the living room to move on to watching cartoons until noon, but only after a few seconds the TV set implodes because Grandpa has confused the voltages at the fuse box.
Just when Arnold is about to leave the house, several men block the door attempting to carry a piano through the front door while Grandma is ordering them around. Arnold climbs out of the window and goes to the park in order to play catch. He asks a boy named Steve to play with him but unfortunately the boy steals his ball. Being discouraged, Arnold takes his bike while Grandma is still trying to get the piano into the house, this time through a window on the first floor. When Arnold arrives at the highest hill of the city he is in high spirits again — until his bike gets stuck in wet tar.
Now there is only one task left on the list: Go to the movie theater and sit through three movies in a row. Of course that doesn't work out either because Arnold finds that he has a hole in his pocket; all his money must have fallen out of it after he got off his bike. The woman at the box office ignores his begging and so Arnold sneaks in to see Mud Man's Revenge II. But instead of the auditorium he enters right behind the silver screen. When he eventually manages to get a seat, the film tears and the theater's closed for the rest of the day.
While the sun is setting slowly and the piano is being lifted onto the roof with Grandma on it, Arnold is sitting on his pigeonry. Then Grandma starts to play a song to cheer him up. Eventually that works and Arnold is happy again after all.
- Arnold keeps an extra alarm clock in his sock drawer
- Arnold rides a red bike
- Grandma plays the piano
- A piano now resides on the roof of the boarding house
- The part where Arnold sneaks into the theatre and wrecks it one of the similar scenes in Rocko's Modern Life and Rugrats. One possibility to this is all three probably having some of the same crew members.
- This episode is similar to Friday the 13th meaning that both episodes focus on a bad day.
- First time Arnold plays the mouth organ
- Mud Man's Revenge II appears to be parodying the infamous 1953 sci-fi movie "Robot Monster". Mud Man itself appears to resemble Ro-Man (the titular monster from the movie), however the differences between Mud Man and Ro-Man are quite obvious, Mud Man has a giant singular eye and a visible mouth along with two antennae on it's head, while Ro-Man has a helmet with 2 antennae connected to the head. Mud Man also picks up a woman, which also happens in Robot Monster.
- This episode is similar to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Best Day Ever', where SpongeBob has a similar list of fun activities for the day, but it doesn't go as planned.
- Arnold has already left the boarding house when he says "Play catch; can do! I'll go get my glove!" and continues in the same direction away from his home. Where does he keep his glove? He then arrives at the park with his glove as well as a baseball.
- The marquee of the movie theater reads "NOW PLAYING; MUD MAN'S; REVENGE II; NETWEEK; RASTA DOG" The "x" and space is missing from "next week"
- The large light tan colored wooden board used to pull the piano up to the roof is left underneath it when it's set down. When we see the bird's eye view of the roof, it's turned to black, and in the very last moments of the episode when the roof is viewed from far away, it's gone.
- Arnold hears the balloon truck crash into the fire hydrant and only seconds later hears police sirens. When he looks over the edge of the roof three cop cars are present and one of two clowns (possibly the driver) is already in handcuffs.
- In the beginning of the episode, the paper the list came on had lines but later it's just blank.

Customer Reviews
Major Bug
This has happened to me on multiple occasions. The game would suddenly crash, then when i would reload the game, all my items, chests, and upgrades, and anything i built vanishes. This has caused me to quit the game multiple times. I thought it had to do with the bugginess of my old iphone 6 however i am now playing with my iphone x and still encountered the same issue, hopefully i can recover my items by the backup i had on my phone prior to the event. Please find the root to this problem.
Have to restart
A good game but I rode my boat far away from my. Base and went near the center but it teleported me away to a radioactive part of the island and i keep dying so its just an endless cycle and I cant get my boat or I teleport so PLEASE add a feature so that every spawn point you discover your able to travel through them but now you can only teleport to one. So if you add this feature I will rate 5 stars (PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE)
I played this game for 3 months and when I finally brought down all the Tesla towers on every island, nothing happens I looked at multiple walkthroughs but nothing worked. But as I played it was very fun and made me want to play.

News of the Price War between Suning & 360 buy is updated quickly.
This is the picture appeared in Google when you type "苏宁 " . It's obvious that media person & common people pay great attention to the Price War.
The War begun on August 14th with news posted by Liuqiangdong, 360buy's CEO. He said that his company, 360buy.com, would give benefits to customers on the home appliance categories with company 0 profits.
Libin, Suning's VP, replied that products of Suning will be surely lower than that of 360buy. Should that somebody found Suning's price is little bit higher than 360buy, Suning will compensate twice of the gaps and change their prices as soon as possible.
One ask, and the other answer. Hence a price war was started.
Many people think that this is good for customers, because no matter which company's price is lower, customers can buy with less money.
But I don't think so.
Firstly, there are more factors to indentify a good B2C company besides prices. Delivery, and after-sale services are also important. So price doesn't equal to all.
Secondly, It's not a good thing should one of them fall apart due to this war. The left one may monopolize the market.
How do you think of it ?

Coco's Inventory Update: Schwinn Step-Through City Bike
CrissCross hybrid Schwinn that we probably shouldn't have rebuilt. It is a nice bike, make no mistake, but we put so many new parts on in. Extremely practical, comfortable, durable bicycle. Probably the highest level of refurbishment ever lavished on a Schwinn CrissCross step-through.

On 17 April 2015, the US District Court in Houston, Texas, unsealed an indictment that charges four corporations and five individuals with a scheme to facilitate illegal exports from the United States to Iran by concealing the ultimate destination of the exported items.
According to the US Justice Department's announcement, Smart Power Systems Inc. ("Smart Power") would acquire the commodities—including high-tech electronics, uninterruptible power supplies, and other items—in the United States and send them to Hosoda Taiwan Limited Corporation ("Hosoda") in Taiwan. Hosoda would ship the items to Golsad Istanbul Trading Ltd. ("Golsad") in Turkey, which would then forward them to Faratel Corporation ("Faratel") in Iran. Five individual defendants, based in the United States, Taiwan and Turkey, are alleged to control Smart Power, Hosoda and Golsad and are also accused of facilitating this scheme.
If convicted, the individual defendants could face a maximum of 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $100,000 on each of the 24 counts of the indictment. Each corporate defendant could face a maximum fine of $1 million for each count.
In addition, the US Commerce Department added to the Entity List eight non-US individuals and entities that allegedly facilitated the illegal exports. The designees include Hosoda, Golsad, Faratel and individuals associated with them, as well as a company based in mainland China that is not named as a defendant in the criminal case. All exports, reexports, and transfers to those persons of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) now require a licence from BIS, which will ordinarily deny applications for such licences.

Eeny Meeny
by M.J. Arlidge (NAL; $15)
Brenda's Review:
Eeny Meeny...one lives, one dies. There is no other choice. This debut thriller from M. J. Arlidge is just that...a real thriller.Think two abducted victims, an imprisonment from which there is no escape, and one gun. To be released, one must live, the other die. Detective Inspector Helen Grace is charged with the responsibility to solve the case. But, before that case is resolved, another occurs...and another...
What connects the abductions? Helen believes there is a tie between the survivors. Can she find it before another pair is abducted?
This is a really fast-paced smart thriller that won't allow the reader to put it down. I can't wait to see what's next from M. J. Arlidge. Don't hesitate to pick this one up...you won't be disappointed!
Arlidge will sign with Roger Hobbs on
Monday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m
Luckiest Girl Alive
by Jessica Knott (Simon & Schuster; $25)
Sally's Review:
Luckiest Girl Alive
is Jessica Knoll's debut and it is a good one, full of secrets that are revealed slowly and carefully. We are introduced to our protagonist,Ani FaNellis as she shops with her fiance, Luke. He's old money, New England rich and Ani is about to enter a life she has imagined she always wanted. She has carefully acquired all the trappings and symbols of wealth and constructed a facade to go with it. Then,things start to crumble and secrets are revealed when Ani is asked to participate in a documentary about an incident that occurred when she was in high school. This book grabbed me from page one. Oh, and Reese Witherspoon has already opted in to produce the movie!
For fans of Megan Abbott and Gillian Flynn.
The Watchers
Angel City
by Jon Steele (Signet; $9.99 each)
John's Review:
I've talked about these before. The third book in the trilogy comes out in August, and I just reread the first two books in preparation for it. These books have become favorites of mine.
The Watchers
is the story of three people, a PI, a high-dollar prostitute, and brain-injured a young boy, thrown together in the middle of a cosmic war. Marc Rochat, the young boy, has become one of my favorite characters of all time. Steele calls the books, "Mystic Noir." He's a former war reporter, and uses that experience to meditate on the state of the world, as well as good and evil.
The Watchers
is a slow burn, pulling you into the world of the Angelus Trilogy while
Angel City
reads like a fast-paced international thriller. Rereading something is a rare treat for us, and I've reread
The Watchers
three times since it was released. Each time, it's still as moving and wonderful as I remember. I can't recommend these books highly enough.
The Way of Sorrows
will be out on August 4th.
Kate Carlisle, Hannah Dennison,

As we wrap up another year, we turn our attention to the most popular posts published on our blog in 2016. These posts are indicative of our blog's mission to be the go-to resource for marketing best practices and information for both clients and prospects.
Content marketing continues to grow in prominence among A/E/C firms as a marketing strategy for reaching and engaging both prospects and clients. But while content marketing is a fairly simple concept, it can prove to be very difficult to execute.
As a speaker, I've heard from A/E/C marketers across the country about the challenges they face implementing content marketing for their firms. Here's a look at those specific A/E/C content marketing challenges and how marketers can overcome them.
As we approach the end of 2016, it's time to take a look at B2B marketing trends that will emerge in the coming year. Continuing a pattern from previous years, 2017 will see the ongoing evolution of many B2B marketing trends and some new concepts will become more mainstream.
So what trends will have the biggest impact? Here's a list of seven B2B marketing trends to watch in 2017.
Account-based marketing (ABM) is one of the latest terms picking up steam in the B2B marketing community. While not an entirely new concept, ABM is both a complimentary and more targeted strategy than traditional demand generation.
ABM—when executed properly—is effective at helping firms create and sustain growth and profitability with both new and existing clients. Research from ITSMA found that over 80% of marketers who measure ROI say that ABM initiatives outperform other marketing investments.
Email is still the fastest and most direct way to deliver content to clients and prospects. Of all the channels available to marketers, email is the one channel your audience accesses regularly. Nevertheless, challenges remain and many firms' email campaigns could use some new life.
Whether it's low open rates, high unsubscribes, less than stellar clickthrough rates, poor deliverability, or campaign fatigue, common issues are persistent among B2B firms. Here are 11 tips to breathe some new life into your B2B firm's email marketing campaigns.
The last few years have seen an enormous increase in the adoption of marketing automation software across a variety of industries. Whether Act-On, Hubspot, Marketo or any one of growing number of platforms, firms are investing in the software hailed as a "must-have" in today's digital-centric marketing ecosystem
But while there is virtually limitless potential for what marketers can do with marketing automation (as the slick and persuasive sales demonstrations showed), achieving success and generating a return on the investment can be a bigger task than many realize.
Your brand is more than just your logo and color palette, so a brand refresh should be more than an exercise in graphic design. Branding is the process of defining, conveying and maintaining your firm's core value and differentiators. It's about figuring out who you are, what you stand for, why your clients should care and then conveying in a meaningful and consistent way.
Great brands aren't built without effort and intentionality. So if your firm has decided that the time has come to update your brand, it needs to be done with a strategic approach. Here are seven crucial elements that should be included in your firm's brand refresh process.
A website redesign is an extremely important initiative that requires a large investment of your firm's time, money and resources—and should be approached strategically. Choosing a web agency for your firm to partner with on a website redesign is a critical decision; one that shouldn't be made without the proper considerations.
Here are 9 things to look for and consider when hiring a web design and development agency.
Modern B2B buyers have more options at their disposal than ever before thanks to the internet. Rather than relying on a solutions-provider for information, they are empowered to research options and narrow the possibilities before they ever engage with a company. Once they do, their expectations for service are high. In this new climate, customer experience has emerged as a key differentiator for forward-looking companies. According to an Accenture study of B2B executives, 74% of respondents see customer experience (CX) playing a larger part in corporate strategy over the next two years.
While the visual design and aesthetic of a website is often noticed first, there are a lot of equally important factors working behind the scene that ultimately play a role in the "success" of a firm's website.
Beautiful, differentiating design—while essential—is only one of many essential components of a high-performing website. And while the design of a website can often receive the most energy and emphasis from clients during the development process, it's important to view the website through a holistic lens.
A critical component of a winning B2B tradeshow marketing strategy is a well-designed, well-planned, impactful booth. In a crowded exhibition hall, your booth will either be your firm's greatest asset or perhaps your greatest liability.
Exhibiting comes at a premium, so it's important to make the most of your space, regardless of how big or how small it is. Here are 5 considerations for maximizing the impact of your tradeshow booth.

News From The Gambia
GUNJUR 2 - Gambicats return in 2017 for second clinic
Our first visit to Gunjur was in April 2016. It was so successful that we decided to hold another one this year in March. This time we stayed at the Gunjur Project Lodge where Jenny and Brandon gave us great support and hospitality, and worked again at the Gunjur African Lodge.
The 2017 team consisted of vet Sandeep (first visit), nurse Sarah (2nd visit after Farafenni), volunteer Sue (many visits!) plus our Gambian team Dodou (Programme Administrator), Alagie and Monodou, and Frances (trustee).
Thanks to Dodou's radio broadcasts and a local poster campaign, plus support from Karamo Bojang (Livestock Assistant), lots of people brought their dogs in and we ended up neutering an amazing 60 dogs and 7 cats. All animals received worm and flea treatment and the dogs were micro-chipped. In addition around 50 more dogs which were already neutered, were given rabies vaccinations.
This clinic was especially demanding. Electricity supplies were very poor so we were grateful for the loan of the generator from Gunjur Project Lodge. Our steriliser died and Dodou managed to arrange the use of the Health Centre's Maternity Ward steriliser with help from Ansumana Sanyang (Health Inspector). No electricity meant poor water supplies on some days. Last year the clinic had 2 electric sockets, this year there was only one, so this had to be used for the fridge, cauteriser, razor, extra light, fan and most importantly, the kettle!
As the clinic was only open for 9 days which included setting up and closing down, the team handled the problems brilliantly. There are now some 140 Gunjur dogs (75 bitches, 65 dogs) which have been neutered which will hopefully make a significant contribution to population control and general welfare in Gunjur.
Bringing in the dogs
Off to trap cats
Preparing for operations
On the Table
Waiting, waiting - Dodou does the impossible and sleeps on the wall!
Recovery - puppy waits for mother to come round; chicks explore cage; forest dog in cage to be returned home in the car
Clearing up: listing items for next clinic; returning the generator
At Gunjur Project Lodge: Sue celebrates special birthday; Jenny, Brandon, Charlie & friend; Team Gambicats
At the airport with Luigi and the Gambicats collection box
HAPPINESS! The Gambia voted in a new President this year and there are celebrations everywhere. Everyone feels positive about the future and is celebrating the return of free speech after so long.
THANKS to Jenny & Brandon, Gunjur Project Lodge, all-round support & loan of generator; Fansu Demba, Gunjur African Lodge room hire & facilities; Karamo Bojang local livestock Assistant; Ansumana Sanyang, Gunjur Health Centre for sterilising assistance; Priory Vets Cardigan, discounted worm/flea treatments; AnimalCare generous donation of meds; Henry Schien vet donations; IMS; Cynthia George; WVS.

Silence Twister, G-MRJP
The aircraft was flying at about 1,500 ft, following minor maintenance, when the pilot heard a loud bang accompanied by vibration and a yaw and roll to the right. The aircraft was damaged in the subsequent forced landing but it was clear that the deriggable right tailplane had rotated through 90º in-flight. Wear in the guide tube of the tailplane locking pin was found to have led to improper routeing of the pin which had not engaged with the locking spigot.

New Features
Below is a current list of features suggested by users. We will do our best to implement features.
- I'd love to get a list of all NSF PIs at University XX, sorted by the dollar amount of grants.
- Could the graph at the top have the option for the vertical axis to be either number of grants or total $ amount?
- For those searches with lots of entries, the Show More button should somehow be able to show all non-zero topics (not sure how best to do this). For example, show all involved PIs from a search.
- Google lets me use just an opening " mark and assumes that it's closed at the end. Can researchwatch do that too?

So, I just bought my first rental property. And honestly, If it wasn't for Vienna Property Management who operates out of El Dorado HIlls, Lincoln and Citrus Heights, I might not own an investment property anymore. I thought that owning a property for investment purposes would be easy. You fix it up, rent it out, pay your mortgage and keep what's left over. Wow, was I surprised at the amount of work it actually takes to keep an investment property in the black.
First off, dealing with tenants and property issues are not easy, and take a considerable amount of time. When tenants have issues the property needs to be attended too immediately. It doesn't matter what time it is or what day of the week. If a property needs fixing, it's the landlords job to fix it.
Secondly, if the property is vacant the entire mortgage comes out of my pocket. If a property is vacant for an extended period of time, my investment could actually go belly up. And if a property is vacant that means I have to find the tenants. With a full time job, I couldn't have been more naive into thinking I could do this on my own.
Fortunately, after losing money for 6 months on my investment, I decided to use a property management company. I Googled property managers in my area and found Vienna Property Management. They operate out of Sacramento, Roseville, El Dorado Hills, Citrus Heights and Lincoln. From what I gathered, they appeared to be the number one property management company in the area. Upon signing with them, my property has been occupied at a rate higher than what I was going for, and they take of all the tenant problems. I now have a true investment property thanks to Vienna Property Management, and I even got my spare time back. Thanks Vienna.

First Team News
Talking Points: Fernandinho in the form of his life?
City maintained their perfect record after four games following their 2-0 victory over Watford on Saturday afternoon.
It was another game full of intriguing plots and subplots – here are five things we learned…
Fernandinho's flying start…
Fernandinho's late goal, a near action replay of his strike against Chelsea, was just the cherry on top of another supreme showing from a man who has started the season in the form of his life.
The Brazilian made five successful tackles out of five, completed 95% of his passes, recovered the ball seven times and created three chances for teammates, helping him to the Man of the Match honours.
His unselfish work has been one of the bedrocks City's perfect start to the campaign has been built upon but it was fitting that he should grab some of the headlines for himself with the goal that sealed the victory – another astonishing finish across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
All this without a single minute of pre-season action, too!
Spreading the goals around…
At times last season it was written by some journalists that City had become over reliant on the goals of Sergio Aguero but that hasn't been the case so far this season.
Perhaps as a consequence of the double marking jobs teams are taking out on the Argentine hitman, the goals are being spread around the team.
Aguero is joined by Yaya Toure, Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Aleksandar Kolarov and Samir Nasri with one goal so far this season, while Fernandinho and Vincent Kompany lead the way with two each.
In 2013/14 when City won the double, we had four players scoring 20+ goals, so it's encouraging to see this pattern return.
Bucking the trend…
A strange anomaly has been observed in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.
Of the 38 games played so far (at the time of writing), only seven have been won by home sides but happily, City's form at the Etihad Stadium is bucking this odd trend.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool slipped up at home unexpectedly on Saturday while Manuel Pellegrini's side managed to break down an obdurate Watford side.
It's too early to say that any point gaps held now could be decisive in May but perhaps it bodes well for the entertainment factor for the league as a whole that more teams are finding ways to win away from home.
There wasn't a great deal to play for at the climax of last season's competition but the early signs are good that we may have another classic Premier League season on our hands this time around.
Pellegrini's masterstroke…
"I was pleased because last week they asked me that now we are playing 4-2-3-1 we are playing better but we returned to 4-4-2 and won the game!" said Pellegrini after his half-time tactical switch paid dividends.
Sterling scored 90 seconds into the second half to break the Hornets resistance and, in the process, showed that Manuel has a plan B up his sleeve to counteract defence-minded visitors to the Etihad.
He explained: "I think it was important at half-time to make a change, we had a lot of possession but didn't create many chances, because - especially against Raheem - they had very tight marking.
"I think that making that change with Nasri on the left side, making David [Silva] more free on their left side, where they have less markers, and playing Kun [Aguero] with Raheem is the way that we must try, and especially at the start of the first half when they didn't know what we were going to do."
Hats off to the Engineer…
Young guns…
Kelechi Iheanacho made his competitive debut as a late substitute and, although he didn't have much time to influence the game, the experience will have done the Nigerian youngster the power of good.
The 18-year old is clearly fancied by his manager and will hope to feature more in the coming weeks.
He wasn't the only youngster involved in the matchday squad either – Pablo Maffeo and Patrick Roberts were also named on the bench as reward for their excellent form on the training pitch.

Thin wallets, fat bookshelves | First Second's Fall 2011 catalog
First Second sent out their latest catalog earlier this month, highlighting all the graphic novels they'll be releasing in the fall. This is the imprint's fifth anniversary, so congrats to Mark Siegel, Gina Gagliano and the rest of the crew for five great years of making awesome graphic novels.
Here's a rundown of what to expect from the publisher later this year:
Americus, by MK Reed and Jonathan Hill: Tim spoke with Reed about this one last year; it's about a teenager fighting to keep his favorite fantasy series on library shelves when it's targeted by "Christian activists." You can read it online here.
Bake Sale, by Sara Varon: Varon's latest is about Cupcake, who makes cupcakes. In addition to being a graphic novel, it also doubles as a cookbook, promising recipes for brownies, raspberry squares and other treats.
Mush!, by Glenn Eichler and Joe Infurnari: Followers of Infurnari's blog first started hearing about this one some time ago, and probably followed along as he shared his creative process. It's kinda amazing to me that he was pretty much done drawing this a year ago, per his blog, but it won't see print until later this year.
I've been a big fan of Joe's stuff for awhile, ever since I first saw The Process, so his name alone is enough to pique my interest. Eichler, meanwhile, co-created the MTV cartoon Daria and now writes for the Colbert Report, so consider at least one copy of this sold.
Nursery Rhyme Comics, by various: Like the title suggests, this is a collection of 50 one- to three-page nursery rhymes by a variety of creators — Mike Mignola, Lark Pien, Gene Yang, Tony Millionaire, Craig Thompson, James Sturm, Gahan Wilson, Stan Sakai, Vanessa Davis, Kate Beaton, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez and many, many more.
Orcs: Forged for War, by Stan Nicholls and Joe Flood: Nicholls is the author of a series of books about orcs called, well, Orcs. This is a new story, versus being an adaption of one of his novels. "It follows a ruthless and deadly cohort of warrior orcs as they fight their way free of the dominion of an evil human enchantress," according to the catalog.
Flood, whose work has appeared in the Popgun anthologies, has posted some of his Orcs art (as well as other projects) here. And here's the full cover, which looks impressive in its badassery:
Same Difference, by Derek Kirk Kim: First Second publishes a new "deluxe" version of Kim's debut graphic novel, which I believe earned him a Xeric Grant and an Ignatz award, as well as Eisner and Harvey Award nominations back when it first came out.
Zahra's Paradise, by Amir and Khalil: This one you may remember from the Eisner nominees list. It's a webcomic First Second has been running for awhile now, about a young protester who disappeared after Iran's fraudulent elections of 2009 and his family's search for him.

Traffic deaths have fallen by almost 25 percent in the last 10 years, and motor vehicle accident injuries have been reduced too. According to the most recent ascertainable statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there was a slight increase of .01 percent in 2014 from 2013. What's startling though is that for the first half of 2015, the death estimate has increased by 8.1 percent from 2014. This represents a significant spike from previous years.
Fatal car accident
Although the 2015 numbers are estimates and subject to change, 2014 was the safest year for drivers and occupants of motor vehicles since the NHTSA began collecting motor vehicle fatality data in 1975. Although bicyclist deaths also declined for the first half of 2015, pedestrian deaths increased by 3.1 percent.
The NHTSA is at the forefront of efforts to reduce roadway fatalities. It's now focusing on behavioral issues to further reduce the number of traffic fatalities and injuries. Those issues include but aren't limited to:
- Drunk and drugged driving
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Speeding
- Seat belt usage
- Child car seats
Other efforts will be made to protect those who are more vulnerable on or near the road like motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Some behavioral factors seem to never change though like drunk driving, seat belt and motorcycle helmet use.
drunk driving deadly fatal motor vehicle crash
In 2014, drunk driving was attributable to 9,967 or one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities that year. Almost half of all fatalities involved drivers or passengers who weren't wearing seat belts. States with strong helmet laws had significantly fewer motorcycle fatalities. Distracted and drowsy drivers were responsible for about 13 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities.
There is recourse for those who lost family members in motor vehicle collisions, but monetary compensation won't replace the loss of a life. All states have laws that govern wrongful deaths, and of course, lawsuits can be filed by or for those who were injured but survived crashes. Damages in these cases can include but aren't limited to:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Any permanent disability
- Any permanent disfigurement
- Funeral and burial expenses in death cases
There are time limitations in Rhode Island within which any action seeking compensation for wrongful death or injuries must be filed. If a municipal entity was involved, those time limitations can be significantly shortened. A knowledgeable and experienced RI personal injury attorney will be familiar with those filing deadlines.

School lunches have always been a struggle with me and my kids. ALWAYS. There are times when I put a LOT of effort into school lunches, and I'll make pasta and rice dishes and really good meals! And there are other times where I go for a "tapas" style lunch – meaning an assortment of finger foods that I found in my fridge and pantry (think crackers, hummus, veggies, fruits, cheese…).
Either way, my kids prefer variety – too many days of the same thing and they revolt and will. not. eat. lunch. I try to alternate between a warm dish, some sushi, a wrap, or a sandwich – but a plain sandwich will NOT do. For some reason, my children believe that a plain sandwich is no where near as yummy as a "cute" sandwich. View Post

Continuing our tomato talk after last week's post
chronicling the first batch we planted.
I say first batch for two reasons—the plan all along has been
to have an ongoing growth cycle for our tomatoes this season.
This way, we will ensure our tomato bounty to be plentiful
which keeps the chefs (and our diners) happy,
while not having so many ripening at one time,
that we almost don't know what to do with them!
Although of course, you know we would never let a luscious red gem go to waste.
Matt & Ray from Local Landscapers have worked arduously
planning when to plant seeds, spacing out the early nurturing of the starts
for our 800 tomato plants so that they are maturing at varying times.
|tomato starts at various stages
in greenhouse
This has been the plan. But, as we continue to learn
farming doesn't always go according to plan
and we are often reminded that our partners,
Mother Nature and the weather can have more influence.
So it was the very next night following our April tomato planting party,
that winds of 65mph swept through Sonoma Valley
and rattled our fragile tomato plants.
Sigh. But we were back at it the next morning, tending to the plants,
staking and securing them (which ironically had been "the plan" anyway for that day)
and honestly we lost only a few of the most fragile ones.
So, replacing those will mean a "second" planting day that was not initially intended.
But farming does not always go according to plan,
which is truly one of the life lessons this endeavor affords us:
staying flexible, being open, (keeping a sense of humor)
and figuring out how to move on when unexpected things happen.
|two days after the winds
|A week after the winds, most of the tomato plants
are standing tall
|staked and ready to climb
And in this first round of tomatoes, we have many varieties
including a few new ones that we have not tried before:
"Good taste, rich and sweet, tasty, complex flavour, exceptionally rich
yet sweet, delicious, rich flavour, tangy, smoky flavor, rich earthy sweet flavour,
outstanding taste, season with salt and pepper and it tastes like meat/steak/bacon."
|Carbon tomatoes
Also Purple Smudge and Brandywine tomatoes are new to us this season.
Purple Smudge tomatoes are "a vibrant tangerine orange with random
true purple blotches on the shoulders," (so don't assume those are bruises!).
Amy Goldman, author of The Heirloom Tomato, calls Purple Smudge tomatoes
"Truly a thing to behold." You may know Amy Goldman,
who grows some 250 vintage varieties of tomatoes collected from around the world.
Check out this slide show from her garden featured in an article in Scientific American.
|one of our Brandywine rows
|which will yield us these jewels
Brandywine tomato
And for more "tomato talk," check out this new blog we've discovered,
Talk of Tomatoes (which she does with great passion).
Actually, the blogger writes about more than tomatoes,
all with passion, wit and smarts.
What varieties of tomatoes are you planting?
Have you seen any new ones at the Farmers Market?
Looking forward to continuing "tomato talk"
for many more months.

We had the bleakest few weeks here in the lovely Blue Mountains during the middle of July. It was unusually cold with temperatures lower than they had been recorded in five years and amazing snow falls over the top of the mountains (about 30 minutes' drive from our humble home). There was so much snow that some roads and schools were closed and the rail service was affected.
I grant you that snow is beautiful and amazing (I spent the first four years of my life in Michigan, USA and I remember snowy winters). One of my daughters in law went up the mountain with her hubby and kids to see and play in snow for the first time in her life. They all had so much fun and the smiles on their faces (we saw the pics) were heart-warming. But that was the only thing that was warm! I'm not a fan of cold weather. And we were not getting the beautiful winter wonderland snow here, just grey skies and cold. I was feeling sad. Then I walked into our front yard and saw its first daffodil of the season and my spirits lifted, my heart swelled and my smile was huge. This was sunshine in the bleakness. This was a reminder that spring was yet to come. Amazing how one little flower can make you so incredibly happy.
I have to admit they are not even my favourite flowers. It's hard to have a favourite when there are so many choices – the divine smell of gardenias, roses and frangipani, the grand divaness (I know that's not really a word) of the bird of paradise, the sweetness of violets. And then there are so many cool things to do with flowers, other than put them in a vase. Check out my post, Pressed Flowers – It's Easy for some ideas.
Anyway, I am pretty impressed with sunflowers. Not sure if it's because I see a fellow sun worshipper, so keen on the warmth it will battle to grow closer to the sky. Or because they're the giants of their species and I'm the shorty in ours.
Ah, but when the sky is grey and the wind is icy there is something about that bright, bright yellow of the daffodil that cuts through the cold and grey.
To quote Clinton Scollard;
"It is daffodil time, so the robins all cry, for the sun's a big daffodil up in the sky, And when down the midnight the owl call "to-whoo"! Why, then the round moon is a daffodil too; Now sheer to the bough-top the sap starts to climb, so, merry my masters, its daffodil time".
There are actually up to 60 species of wild daffodils and with new varieties produced each year there are at least 13,000 different types.
They are traditionally the announcers of the beginning of spring and the waking of nature though they sometimes jump in a little early and are one of the rare species of plant that are able to successfully grow through the snow.
Did you know they have a toxic sap in their stem? This means they shouldn't be in a vase with other flowers as it will harm them unless the daffodils have soaked for 24 hours first. Ancient Romans prized daffodils as they thought their sap had healing powers, however florists can develop an allergic reaction on the skin called "daffodil itch" after preparing floral arrangements made of daffodils. Their bulbs contain a compound called narciclasine which scientists believe may be effective in treating brain cancer. They have also been grown for galanthine, which was being investigated for use to help Alzheimer's.
Poultry farmers believe they will stop their hens from laying, so they are banned from the house (glad I'm not a poultry farmer!).
High born medieval ladies used the yellow flower dye to tint their hair and eyebrows.
They were a symbol of chivalry during Victorian times. They are a symbol of hope today.
Well when I spotted that first daffodil on that cold, cold day, it sure gave me hope.
In Wales, where the daffodil is the national flower, it is said if you spot the first daffodil of the season, your next 12 months will be filled with wealth. Does it count if it's the first one on your tiny patch in Australia? A year of wealth would be quite awesome.
A few days after my wonderful discovery, my happy, little, yellow friend had a mate. So now there were two. Extra happiness! I actually cut them and gave them to a dear friend. It's a thing we do. She has given me her first jonquil (which is just another variety of daffodil) before. It made me happy as it made her happy. And before I knew it there were two more in my yard so the happiness grew.
I just noted while researching those fun daffodil facts that a single daffodil given can predict misfortune while a bunch represents happiness. According to the Sunday Express, Prince Charles is annually given one daffodil as rent for land on the Isles of Scilly. Are they trying to tell him something? By the way, is two a bunch? So happy I didn't give my friend just one daffodil and keep the other for myself. I was tempted!
The best time to plant daffodil bulbs is in autumn, once the heat of summer has passed and after the first autumn rains. For those in the northern hemisphere, September is the go. For Aussies that means waiting until next March or April.
Daffodils grow perennially from bulbs and often grow in clusters.
They like a well-drained, sunny place.
When planting, ensure the pointy end of the bulb (the top) is at least two times as deep as the bulb is high as this will help stop it from breaking and keep the plant standing upright for longer.
Daffodils like lots of water while they are growing.
Once the flower has finished, don't be tempted to cut the green stems until they turn yellow.
Using a good organic bulb fertilizer is a good idea. Hopefully this will ensure you have even more daffodils to enjoy the following year.

Happy planting and wishing you a gleeful week, Tamuria.

The Doug Martin mystery was finally resolved on Wednesday afternoon, when the fifth-year running back admitted that his benching last week was due to a failed NFL drug test and a pending four-game suspension.
Martin wasn't at practice when the team began prepping for its season finale' Sunday against Carolina and Bucs officials said he was given "an excused absence for the day." Obviously, we later found out why after practice ended for the day.
Martin released a statement to the media that reads:
"I was notified last week of a four-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy. My initial instinct was to appeal the suspension and finish the season with my teammates. However, after numerous discussions with people close to me – including Coach Koetter – I am starting the suspension immediately so I can enter a treatment facility and receive the help I truly need."
The statement continued, "On the field, I must be strong and determined to push through both pain and injuries to become an elite NFL running back. Off the field, I have tried that same approach in my personal life. My shortcomings in this area have taught me both that I cannot win these personal battles alone and that there is no shame in asking for help.
"I sincerely apologize to the Glazer family, General Manager Jason Licht and the entire Tampa Bay organization, my teammates and our tremendous fans. This was not the season I envisioned and I have let everyone down, including myself. However, adversity yields opportunity and I ask for your support in my battle to overcome these personal issues."
The Buccaneers released a statement in response from GM Jason Licht. It reads:
"Doug has been a valued member of our organization for the past five seasons and we respect and support his decision to seek help. Right now, he is working through issues that are much larger than the game of football. Our primary concern is that he takes this time to focus on getting the help that he needs in order to move forward with his personal and professional life."
This ends a bizarre public episode, where the Bucs suddenly announced Saturday afternoon that Martin was inactive for the crucial game with the Saints, and head coach Dirk Koetter would not talk about it afterwards.
On Monday, Koetter also went through another bizarre press conference. There, he continued to defend Martin's running style and yet, said he was doing what was best for the team by playing Jacquizz Rodgers at running back against the Saints, and having others active besides Martin.
We now know what he meant and what he wasn't saying, as he knew the second leading rusher in the NFL had failed a drug test, and they were all trying to wait and see, if he would appeal.
Because Martin was still on the Bucs roster last week, his absence from the Saints game will not count toward his suspension. That means Martin will also have to sit out the first three games of the 2017 season as well.
Martin is slated to make $7 million dollars next year in the second of his five-year, $35.75 million deal.
Back to the game Sunday with Carolina. The Buccaneers announced more bad news on the injury front. Running back Charles Sims was placed on injured reserve with a pectoral injury on Wednesday shortly after practice began. The team promoting running back Austin Johnson from the practice squad to take Sims place.
It is Sims' second trip to the IR this season after he landed there with a knee injury in week four against the Broncos. Johnson became the second addition to the Bucs running back corps this week, joining Russell Hansbrough, who was re-signed on Tuesday from the Giants practice squad.
To say the Buccaneer run game is in flux, would be an understatement.
