Dodgers vs. Brewers - 6/17/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers (31-36) at Los Angeles Dodgers (35-33)
MLB Baseball: Friday, June 17, 2016 at 10:10 pm (Dodger Stadium)
Zach Davies (5-3) (4.31) vs. Julio Urias (0-2) (5.82)
The Line: Los Angeles Dodgers -163 / Milwaukee Brewers +153 --- Over/Under: 7.5 See the Latest Odds
The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers clash late Friday night for game two.
The Milwaukee Brewers look for consistency after splitting their last 14 games. The Brewers have allowed 19 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 11 games. The Milwaukee Brewers have an ERA of 4.57 and have lost five of their last eight games when allowing more than three runs. Offensively, Jonathan Villar leads Milwaukee with 73 hits, Jonathan Lucroy has 33 RBI and Ryan Braun has 11 home runs. Zach Davies gets the nod, and he's 5-3 with a 3.88 ERA and 50 strikeouts this season. This will be Davies' first career game against the Dodgers.
USA TODAY Sports
The Los Angeles Dodgers could use a win after losing six of their last 10 games. The Dodgers have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 13 games. The Los Angeles Dodgers offense continues to produce at a high level, and they've won six of their last eight games when scoring more than three runs. Corey Seager leads Los Angeles with 72 hits, Adrian Gonzalez has 31 RBI and Chase Utley has five home runs. Julio Urias takes the hill, and he's 0-2 with a 5.82 ERA and 21 strikeouts this season. This will be Urias' first career game against the Brewers.
The Brewers are 2-6 in their last 8 Friday games and 4-0 in Davies' last 4 starts. The Dodgers are 6-1 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series and 15-7 in their last 22 vs. National League Central. The Brewers are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Los Angeles.
Urias seems to be getting better and better the more he pitches and has an ERA of 2.25 at home. The Brewers are going to struggle to hit the kid and his nasty stuff. I'll take the Dodgers at home and the runline to avoid the insane juice.

Comment on White Genocide in America 1960 – 2060. by torgrim.
In 1960 when California was 90% White, the Whites were told that overpopulation was the threat, so responsible White people listened and restricted family size. Now these same hacks tell us that with zero population we will be like Japan? Please, I am so sick of these "experts" that I really just discount anything they write or say, the government and it's "experts" have, "no clothes" they are totally irrelevant. What do you do with someone that is consistently giving bad advice, ignore, that is what a sane person does. So, adios.

New ideas for a possible novel
Reads: 317 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 19
Miscellaneous by: XxmimixX
As you know, I've done short stories and drawn manga (japanese graphic novels/comics). I've been thinking for a while on writing a Light novel (longer than a short story, but shorter than a
regular novel) and I have a question. I was wondering what kind of story should I write about (once these two are done and my fanfiction)? Well, here are a few ideas that I've come up with and
what I'm currently working on.
Currently working on
Chant'n Budokai (title might change but oh well):
For thousands of years, there have been conflicts and wars in the Planet "Naru" for humanity reasons (money, religion, etc.). On this planet, there are five countries (or continents ). The Shinigami king has been in the center of all of these conflicts because he wants to get rid of the 'sages' (in this case, a religious warrior in a country
that protects their god and country) of the planet. But the only person who can stop this from happening is the last remaining sage (from the most powerful country "Rhea") who is supposedly the
most powerful of them all. And the only way for the sage to survive this is the Sage Guardian (the only one) who protects the sage from harms way and make the sage powerful (like a guide).
Is there really an Underworld?:
Ruth was just an ordinary five year old child living in the country with her big sister, mother, and her mysterious Beagle name Casey in their apartment. One day, one of her classmates Chad has
brought home a new dog to the apartment complex that he and his two other siblings have been living in. A rumor has it across town that the dog could've been an actual demon princess from the
underworld and kills people who harms its owner. The other rumor is that it could've been a "prince" who protected the fairies of.... Utopia? Are these rumors true?
Current ideas:
Destiny: The story of a lost soul :
In the busy streets of Brooklyn, there is a teen prostitute name Ramona. She tries to survive her life as a prostitute but ends up realizing that this isn't the life for her. So for a couple of years, she stays as a prostitute and begins her new life trying to go back to school and searching for a new job.
After the long search, she gets hired by her best friend name Armando lol. Is this actually her goal?
????????! (A protector of animals):
A whippet puppy (a type of dog) name Crystal's owner goes to Africa for a retreat with the World Wildlife fund, and the dog ends up with her ><. They find some Cheetah cubs abandoned after their mother was killed by poachers, and take them back to America and raise them at the Family Zoo. Almost a year later after the incident, Crystal begins to have close feelings to one of the rescued Cubs because she feels like saving a life of someone means "love" and wants to spend the rest of her life to someone special to her =D.
?PrettyGeek (I had a dream about this too and it is completely fiction):
Throughout her life, Sixteen year old Kristi Murphy has been made fun of due to her appearance and looks. She has been called the typical names like nerd, geek, four eyes, whatever. Then out of nowhere, her parents have sent her to a private high-class school called "Forever High" where there are a couple classes on fashion and the history of fashion. In her Fashion history class, her possible partner for the year is the CEO of the popular fashion brand "Hot?Star" name Alan Chavez who is oddly enough having a liking to her. He tells her if she and her new friend Amy wants to try out as fashion models for his company. What qualities does she have that well, everyone else doesn't?
Raikou (The rising sun): It is like a little side story to the CB series:
In the island off the country "Rhea" that no one knows about, there live farm workers, a main school house, and rich dictators who work for the Local City Council of that island. Every year, they do this "sacrifice" ritual to the eldest daughters in the family between the ages of 8 to 18 years of age to their sun god.
Fifteen year old Yazar once had a dream about this that caused her to be partially blind in her left eye, but she doesn't know if the ritual actually happened to her. This is one of the reasons why she is afraid of the Sun during dawn and dust. One day, her father (who's part of the LCC) gives her a gift for being the best daughter to him (and trying to forgive her from the mysterious past that they had together) and that gift was a 3 year old young horse name 'Saru' (who was her dads pet from the LCC). Throughout the story, the horse secretly helps Yazar to get over her fear and guides her on what the horse wants that his previously master didn't give him.
So those are the ideas lol. Any suggestion on possible stories?

????????! (A protector of animals) :D
I actually like two of your ideas. The first one is ?PrettyGeek and the other is Destiny: The story of a lost soul. However with the second one I would do some kind of research if you are not familiar with the background. These are really good ideas. Good luck making a story. Jessica :)
I like the sounds of A Protector of Animals, but the Destiny: the Story of a Lost Soul could be good too, depending on the ending :)
Destiny: the story of a Lost Soul, A Protector of Animals, the 2nd or the 1st one good lucks! xD
I liked "Pretty geek" and "Destiny" the most. I hope you'll choose those ^-^
Woe, people seem to like the idea about the prostitute. Let me know on anymore ideas and comments :D.
Destiny: the story of a Lost Soul is my favorite; all of them are good ideas though. :)
All of them have some great ideas! =D
I really like the idea of destiny and pretty geek... Destiny is most intriguing
I would go with the last one The Rising Sun. I don't really like Destiny and Protector of the Animals.
Destiny:It's far too cliché. Have you never read a story/seen a movie about someone from rock bottom making their lives better?
Prtector:It's sounds boring (sorry if I sound mean >
Well the only one that wasn't fantasy was the Destiny one lol. Everything else was fantasy related but I'm glad you picked the last one. I'm working on a manga version of that at the moment and yes the horse is VERY important to the story. And plus, thanks for the criticism on the ideas. It gives me ideas on how I could make them better in the future :D.
Destiny: The story of a lost soul - there are a lot you can do with the story! I hope you choose this one! :D
// Nanna :)
go with pretty geek, u could do sooo much with it and put alot of good drama in it and watnot. and the to protect animals is a good one 2 especially if the animal is a bewitched one of a guy or something like that, that would b funny lol. i say use ur imagination to the fullest lol
You have a view good ideas I look forward to reading them
You draw manga? Is it posted (the actual art I mean, not the story) on booksie? I'd love to read it :)
as for your ideas I really like pretty geek. It kinda reminds me of V. B Rose, the designing part. It's completely different, though, don't worry.
I also like destiny a lot. Tell me if you ever do write/draw either stories :]
I love the idea for destiny and pretty greek!
I like A protector of animals it sounds intresting but I think i would like to read destiny more!

Fighting Cyber War: US Secure Operating Systems
Some would say that the only way to defend a system against a cyber-attack is to cut the cord that connects it to the internet. Sadly, in many cases, this is true. When you look at it, systems have several points of attack where they can be exploited. Though the human factor will always be the Achilles heel of network security, many businesses, and now even countries are focusing their attention on securing the Operating System.
Here is a look at what the United States is doing to secure their systems from cyber-attack:
The United States
Though the use of secure versions of Linux has increased, America is looking to design a secure OS from the ground up. Currently, the US has been depending on the Trusted Computing (TC) technology. TC relies on an onboard chip called the Trusted Platform Module to provide cryptographic keys to help secure the system. Microsoft, AMD, Dell, IBM and Intel all plan on using Trusted Computing in current and future products.
Microsoft currently uses The TPM Module in its Bitlocker drive security utility. Bitlocker allows entire volumes to be encrypted. TC is not without its detractors though. Many are concerned that the TPM is better equipped for digital rights management than securing the PC. Also, the secure chip has already been hacked.
TC has been widely adopted by the government. According to Wikipedia, "The U.S. Army requires that every new small PC it purchases must come with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). As of July 3, 2007, so does virtually the entire United States Department of Defense." I think it interesting to note that our military is relying on the TPM, even though the circuit board is clearly marked "Made in China" in the photo above.
America is not depending on current operating systems to be the secure platform of the future. Microsoft is working on the new Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB). Previously called "Palladium", this future version of Windows will rely on the TPM to provide a secure OS. This project may be stalled as according to Wikipedia, no new information has been released on NGSCB since 2004. Even if Microsoft does come out with a secure OS, one would have to wonder how they will handle compatibility issues that have always been a thorn in Microsoft's side.
Most promising, the University of Illinois recently received a $1.15 Million Dollar grant to develop "Ethos". This operating system is being built with security in mind from the ground up. It will run on the XEN Hypervisor virtual machine platform, driving home the importance of isolation.
Building a secure OS platform will go a long way in protecting our nation from cyber attacks.
5 Responses to "Fighting Cyber War: US Secure Operating Systems"
A badly researched article. Citing Wikipedia as a source is questionable a best. I suggest that the author talk to the Trusted Computing Group or to Intel or any other leading company in the Trusted Computing space. The NSA (National Security Agency (NSA) might be a good source too.
By the way, this NSA sponsored exhibition is coming up soon:
The National Security Agency invites you to attend the first NSA Trusted Computing Conference and Exposition hosted by the Trusted Computing Division of the NSA/CSS Commercial Solutions Center (NCSC), in partnership with the High Assurance Platform® (HAP) Program Office. The theme for this year's event is Using the High Assurance Platform® to Create Security in a Connected World.
[…] June 26, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments After reading the post and comments at Cyberarms the other day about Trusted Computing (TC) and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), I decided to […]
Hmmm, I would think that if a member of TC sees something written about their product that they dispute, they would at the very least give a couple examples of the inaccurate information, with corrections.
That being said, as always, beware those who sell "hack-proof" or "totally secure" systems.
P.S. Hey Dieterle, I turned some people from one of my classes on to your site, so you might be seeing some new pings from students.

After a very speedy taxi ride from the airport to our hostel (the guy was doing 140km/h at some stages), so began our four day weekend in
The next day after breakfast, we walked in to town (the right way this time), and enjoyed a canal tour around
After hiring our bikes we went to Anne Frank's house which has been turned into a museum detailing the lives and events of Anne Frank and those who were with her in hiding during the holocaust.
After, while Jess, Tink and I were sitting on our bikes waiting for the others at our designated meeting place in a busy part of
The rest of the day was spent in various coffee shops, reminiscing about the sunglasses incident, riding around the city, and getting to know Ali's friend who surprisingly enough went to the same University as Tink and I and was good friends with my cousin Alex.
The next day we visited the Reijksmuseum, which was a huge beautiful building, and contained a number of famous artworks by Rembrandt, Karel Du Jardin and Vemeer. I had never thought I would have enjoyed such cultural experiences as art galleries and museums, but surprisingly enough I have found them quite interesting. After the Reijksmuseum we decided to spend some more time in a coffeeshop, this time deciding to dabble in some delicious triple chocolate 'space cakes'. Feeling as though it would not be entirely safe for ourselves, or anyone else on the roads, if we rode our bikes home, we walked them back to the hire shop, and caught taxis home. After a deliciously enormous dinner at an Italian restaurant, we called it a night and headed to bed.
The next morning, Tink and I awoke to an empty room, as the other 6 had had to fly back to

text: J.Lo as a G-lady? Actress-singer-fashion jawdropper Jennifer Lopez, 30, has scuttled her plans to portray Mexican artist Frida Kahlo in a feature film biography and is instead negotiating to star as an FBI agent for director Tony Scott in the crime thriller, "Taking Lives," reports Variety. Based on a Michael Pye novel, "Lives" follows a female crime-fighter for the bureau who is hot on the trail of a "Talented Mr. Ripley"-like killer who does away with strangers and then assumes their identities. Since the project was first announced a few years ago, director Scott ("Top Gun") has reportedly tried to woo Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett to take the starring role. As for what became of Lopez's long-simmering Kahlo project, which was to have been produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Variety says that a rival film starring Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Geoffrey Rush, Edward Norton and Ashley Judd scooped Lopez. Lopez's latest movie, "Angel Eyes," is due to open May 18.

'Snowball effect' caused Monday's rail paralysis
Railcorp says it was a snowball effect that led to chaos on Sydney's transport system yesterday.
Problems with overhead lines at Waverton, in Sydney's north, yesterday morning meant no trains could run between Wynyard and Chatswood during morning peak hour.
Police had to be called in to control the crowds trying to get onto the replacement buses leaving from Wynyard.
There were also flow-on delays across the network.
Railcorp's Director of Operations Tony Eid says the overhead line problem happened on the worst place possible.
"It was a place where we could not get around it," he said.
"Normally we would have some sort of mechanism to divert around some of these situations.
"That wasn't the case yesterday, customers did experience delays of up to two hours plus.
"They would have been frustrated and I acknowledge they were frustrated and I do apologise."
Mr Eid says it was the first train on Monday morning after weekend track work.
"One of the most asked questions of me yesterday is it connected to the track work?" he said.
"Well, guys have been investigating this all day yesterday, and even last night, so I'm hopeful today I'll get some sort of report about exactly what occurred."

The case of David Ahenakew is a sad one.
David Ahenakew is a decorated war veteran. He was once Leader of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, the first ever elected National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, recipient of the Order of Canada, and recipient of an honorary doctor of Laws degree. In the 1960's and 70's, Ahenakew was one of the leading lights of the aboriginal self government movement, and duly honoured for it.
On Friday he was convicted of hate crimes. How far he has fallen.
Nobody can support the things he said. Moreover, his accusations that First Nations people can't get a fair trial in Canada, and that his case was about racism against First Nations people, were simply a smoke screen that a bitter old bigot used to try to deflect attention away from the real issue – himself.

Demi Moore has been hospitalized for substance abuse.
TMZ reports that a call to 911 was placed at 10:45 Monday night from Moore's house in L.A. Paramedics arrived and assessed Moore's condition for 30 minutes before transporting her to the hospital.
Sources close to Moore said that she will be placed in a facility to "seek further professional assistance" for substance abuse.
Moore's rep told TMZ, "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."
Because of this recent development, Moore has decided to drop out of the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic. As we reported earlier this month, Moore was slated to make a cameo appearance as Gloria Steinem.

Pertussis causes life-threatening illness is young infants.
During the most recent WA epidemic (2011–2012) pertussis was confirmed in 82 infants aged less than two months, 66 per cent of whom were hospitalised, with one death.
Until very recently, vaccinating the parents and carers shortly after delivery ('cocooning') was the preferred strategy for protecting newborns from pertussis.
But in 2014, two studies from the UK showed that vaccinating mothers during the third trimester was 91–93 per cent effective in preventing newborn pertussis infection.
WA Health created a comprehensive campaign, "pertussisVIP", to encourage a high uptake of the new recommendation for antenatal pertussis immunisation.
This involved delivering education sessions and creating resources for OBs, GPs and midwives to enable them to confidently recommend pertussis vaccination during pregnancy.
Consumer and community engagement was undertaken by forming a unique but critical partnership with the Light for Riley Foundation, led by the parents of the infant who had recently died from pertussis.
Greg and Catherine Hughes have been strong supporters of the pertussisVIP program and communicate directly to expectant parents about the need to protect newborns through maternal vaccination.
The result has been that 5,195 pregnant women have been vaccinated in just four months. This equates to 61.2 per cent of all newborns being protected against pertussis in the first few months.

A South Essex College apprentice who works at the Cliffs Pavilion, in Southend, has used her experience with the theatre company to secure a full-time job.
Kim Davey, 20, studies for a Level 3 Community Arts Apprenticeship with Southend Theatres.
She works in the community and education department on outreach projects such as youth theatre groups and school tours.
Once she completes her apprenticeship next year, she has been offered a position backstage at the theatre.
Kim said: "I thought this apprenticeship would be a good gateway into the theatre industry.
"It's definitely helped me get this permanent position. I've worked with so many different departments during my time here, I love that every day is different."
She added: "I would 100 per cent recommend apprenticeships to others. You get so much more hands-on experience and learn practical skills for the workplace."
Kim has definitely made her mark at the Cliffs Pavilion by trying to get involved in every aspect of the business to increase her work experience.
Kelly Reynolds, community and education manager, said: "Kim's enthusiasm and positivity have ensured that she has progressed very quickly and is now a valued and integral part of the team.

Jimena Roquero, spanish photographer born in Madrid, and at present living in the US. Her photos have been published in some of the most prestigious international magazines. Her passion towards photography comes from her childhood days, as her father loved photography, and she has turned photography not only into her profession but something she deeply loves and that allows her to be in touch with reality and peoples´lives.
Her delicate photos, are a real insight into the soul of those whom she photographs and their way of seeing and experiencing live. The word I would choose to define her work is sensibility. Her photos are very natural, spontaneous and they really capture the couples´intimacy in a surrounding that they love and means so much to them.
In these photos we are publishing today, Anjie and Jeremiah in the Lower East Side, New York, you can appreciate in full detail that sensibility I mentioned. The transiction from black and white, to colour is done in an elegant, stylish and even whimsical way. The colour photos, of armonious shades and delicate taste, reflect the beginning of Winter and the love and complicity of Anjie and Jeremiah.
The three of them, photographer and couple, simply adore New York as you can see from the tasteful and simple images of the couple strolling through the park or cycling over the bridge. They also open up their doors to a place so intimate as their home so we can have a close look at their style of living and personalities, and all this is done with respect and a caring touch by Jimena Roquero´s camera.
I love those series of photos that seem to fade away and the images where New York´s sky shares the limelight with this lovely couple.
An exceptional piece of work by Jimena Roquero!

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema went on the offensive the past couple of days, attacking new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer for essentially poaching verbal commitments from the Bazdgers to the Buckeyes.
Bielema went as far to say there was a "gentleman's agreement" in the Big Ten not to go after another school's recruited players. Meyer doesn't buy that.
Neither does Michigan coach Brady Hoke.
"As far as I've known, it's always been fair game until they sign," Hoke told Columbus TV station WBNS on Thursday at a coaches conference in Ohio. "I don't have as much a problem with that and hopefully we don't get too many of those that go away from you. I don't think there needs to be an agreement, to be honest with you.
"Kids are going to be kids. They are 18 years old, 17 years old. As long as everything has been handled in an ethical manner, professional manner, by the rules, I don't have a problem with it."
ESPN.com reporter Adam Rittenberg reported Friday that 11 of the 12 Big Ten coaches met about Bielema's comments in an executive session during a regularly scheduled meeting of the league's football coaches in suburban Chicago.
Hoke, though, acknowledged in the television interview that Michigan and Ohio State will recruit against each other and that it is all just part of the sport.
"Yep, it's part of what we do," Hoke said. "You play that great game at the end of November and on signing day it's like playing another game."

- Impact of chemical production on the environment
- Waste stream impact and life cycle analysis
- Important aspects of the environment
• energy use • air quality issues
• water quality issues • ecology
• natural resources • solid waste
• economics and feasibility
Any action (or actions) that prevents the release of hazardous and/or toxic substances into the environment – source reduction.
The Canadian federal government defines pollution prevention as: The use of processes, practices, materials, products or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste, and reduce overall risk to human health or the environment.

Utility and non-utility electricity power producers operate several types of electric generating units, powered by a wide range of fuel sources, including :
Source: www.acnatsci.org/research
Electricity Generation : Renewable Energy
Finite (non-renewable) energy sources include fossil fuels.
Renewable energy sources include water (hydropower), biomass, wind, heat from the earth (geothermal), and the sun (solar energy).
"Green" renewable energy sources contribute much less to global warming, and climate change in comparison with fossil fuels.
Renewable energy is not a new concept.
Five generations ago, wood supplied up to 90 percentof our energy needs. Due to the convenience and low prices of fossil fuels, wood use has virtually been replaced.
Many different industries are converting waste biomass into electricity.
Examples of such processes/substances include manufacturing wastes, rice hulls, and black liquor from paper productions.
It is important to consider the effects of pollutants on ecosystems that may cause damage by :
-Disrupting the cycling of elements (i.e. nutrients).
-Entering the food chain.
Ecology is the study of material flows and energy utilization patterns in communities of living organisms in the environnment, termed ecosystems.

Organisms are subjected to a number and variety of stressors in the environment, therefore multiple measures of health are needed to help identify and separate anthropogenic-induced effects of stress from those effects caused by natural stressors.
Mobile Sources:
Are automobiles, other transportation vehicles, and recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and watercraft.
Stationary Sources:
Include factories and other manufacturing processes.
Area Sources:
Are emissions associated with human activities that are not considered mobile or stationary including emissions from lawn and garden equipment, and residential heating.
Those emitted directly to the atmosphere.
Those formed in the atmosphere after emission of precursor compounds.
Criteria Air Pollutants
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is readily absorbed into the body from the lungs. It decreases the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen, leading to health risks for unborn children and people suffering from heart and lung disease.
Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitric oxide reacts with hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight to form nitrogen dioxide.
In the summer months NO2 is a major component of photochemical smog.
Ozone is not emitted directly into the atmosphere but
is primarily formed through the reaction of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight.
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur Dioxide is emitted directly into the atmosphere
and can remain suspended for days allowing for wide distribution of the pollutant.

Adverse Effects of Air Pollution
CH4, N2O, etc.).
Acid Rain and Deposition
Acidification may lead to reduced health of trees and eventually death of whole forests. Some soils contain chalk which neutralizes the acid and hence keep the effects of acidification invisible for a period of time.
Tropospheric ozone is absorbed by plants through the leafs.
In the leaves, ozone degrades chlorophyll. The loss of chlorophyll inhibits photosynthesis and hence growth of the plant.
The concentrations of greenhouse gases are continuously increasing in the atmosphere due to human activities:
1) By emissions of naturally occurring greenhouse gasses such as (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and,
2) By emissions of new substances such as halogenated carbons (CFCs, HCFCs and PFCs).
The possible increase of the earth's temperature due to these emissions is often referred to as the "greenhouse effect" or "global warming."

All plants and animals in the water need oxygen for their respiration and the concentration of oxygen in the water is a limiting factor for many species of fish and bottom animals.
A mild degree of oxygen depletion may cause a shift in the composition of life in the water towards less oxygen demanding species. Stronger oxygen depletion may kill plants, fish and bottom animals and leave only robust plankton, insect larvae and bacteria.
Source: http://www.howproductsimpact.net
The waterborne emission may arise from agriculture, industry and households in forms such as ammonia (NH3),
ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-),
urea (CO(NH2)2) and organic-bound nitrogen.
Excessive emissions of the nitrogenous substances can change the balance in the aquatic and terrestrial environment cause serious problems known as nutrient enrichment.

In the face of growing political and public concerns, the pulp and paper industry began to research and implement ways of reducing organochlorine formation and discharge from mills reported as AOX in addition to COD and BOD discharges. These can be broadly categorised as process internal and process external measures.
Process internal measures to reduce mill organochlorine and other polluting outputs centre around increased removal of lignin before the pulp is sent to the bleach plant.
Enhanced lignin removal allows modification of the bleaching process and agents and reduces the charge of bleaching chemicals used.
This processes has been intensively investigated and now seems established as the future system of choice for eliminating chloro-organics from the waste stream.
Process external measures largely refer to the design and construction of various types of treatment plants.
Treatment of bleach plant effluents can reduce toxic effects, depending upon the bleach chemicals used and the type of treatment employed, while the move towards chlorine dioxide as a bleach chemical has also contributed.
The ability of treatment systems to reduce the AOX component varies markedly, but wastewaters discharged from such plant invariably contain AOX if chlorine based chemicals are used while sludges may contain up to 50g AOX per kg of dried material.
What is Life Cycle Analysis ?
Is the examination of the total environmental impact of a product through every step of its life, often quoted as being the "cradle to grave" analysis of a product.

2) Life-Cycle Inventory.
3) Life-Cycle Impact Assessment.
4) Improvement Analysis or Interpretation Step.
Life Cycle Analysis Steps
The system boundaries define the processes and/or operations (e.g. manufacturing, transport, and waste management processes), and the inputs and outputs to be taken into account in the LCA.
The functional unit defines what is the basis for comparison between two similar products.

Life Cycle Inventory
Energy and Materials
Raw Material Aquisition
material recycle
Air Emissions, Solid Waste, Wastewater
Material Manufacture
product remanufacture
Product Manufacture
product recycle
Product Use
Product Disposal
Electricity is produced in power plants by combustion of fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
During combustion many substances are emitted to air, for example carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, methane, sulphur oxide.
Life Cycle Impact Assessment
The goal of this step is to compile the environmentalimpacts of the Life Cycle Inventory items. It can be done in three major steps:
- classification : of the substance into a category relating to the impact it may pose
- characterization : of the potency of the environmental impact
- valuation : relative indexes determined and an overall impact assessment can be determined
Source: www.uneptie.org/pc/pc/tools/lca.htm
The product (s) or service (s) to be assessed are defined, a functional basis for comparison is chosen and the required level of detail is defined.
Inventory of Extractions and Emissions
The energy carriers and raw materials used, the emissions to atmosphere, water and soil, and different types of land use are quantified for each process, then combined in the process flow chart and related to the functional basis.
The effects of the resource use and emissions generated are grouped and quantified into a limited number of impact categories which may then be weighted for importance.
The results are reported in the most informative way possible and the need and opportunities to reduce the impact of the product (s) or service (s) on the environment are systematically evaluated.
Improvement Analysis or
Interpretion Step
The fourth step is to interpret the results of the impact assessment, suggesting improvements whenever possible.
This step might consist of recommending the most environmentally desirable product.

Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide
While Sweden is more expensive than most EU countries, it is still less costly than many other countries in the world. In global consulting firm Mercer's annual Cost of Living survey covering 230 cities worldwide, none of Sweden's cities appear in the top ten. Sweden's capital, Stockholm, is in 19th place of the most expensive cities in the world.
It is a fairly safe bet that expats will need to spend the biggest portion of their salaries on housing in Sweden – usually about 30 percent., Housing is most expensive in Stockholm.
Public transport in Sweden – like that of most countries in Europe – is of good quality and includes buses, subways, trams, suburban trains and even ferries. Owning a car is not necessary.
The Swedish health care system performs well compared to systems in other countries when it comes to access to care, quality of care and medical outcomes. A recent update of the OECD's (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) rankings of health care systems in 19 industrialized countries ranked Sweden first.
In reality, Swedes work an average of 36 hours per week – about 143 fewer hours than Americans work every year. In a CNNMoney listing of the top ten industrialized countries with the shortest work weeks, Sweden places eighth, behind Denmark, Norway and Germany.
Sweden now has the fifth-highest tax burden relative to GDP in the developed world, behind Belgium, France, Italy and Denmark. Sweden's tax revenue has dropped to 44.3 percent of GDP, from a peak of 51.5 percent in 1999.
All employers in Sweden pay statutory social security contributions on behalf of their employees, consisting of charges for pensions, health insurance and other social benefits. These contributions amount to 31.42 percent of gross salary.
This is just a short sample of what you'll find in over 75 pages of information in the complete Sweden guide.

OOPS: US accidentally sends deadly ANTHRAX to 51 labs worldwide
The Pentagon has admitted a massive blunder where it accidentally posted live anthrax samples to private and military labs around the world.
More than 50 labs across the globe, including in Canada, Australia and South Korea, may have been sent the deadly bacteria from a high security biodefence facility in America.
The Pentagon believes there is no danger to the general public but they do not know how many lab workers have come into contact with the lethal bacteria.
Staff members at some of the labs have been treated for anthrax exposure as a precaution, but no one has fallen ill.
"CDC is concerned with understanding what happened here"Jason McDonald, CDC spokesman
Being exposed to anthrax can cause severe skin ulcers, nausea, vomiting and fever – and even death.
The deadly bacteria was sent using Fed Ex, a commercial postal service.
Now embarrassed Pentagon chiefs are scrambling to contain the lethal bacteria as the US Department of Defence (DoD) claimed it was testing "at least" 400 batches to see if any of it is alive.
The howler was only discovered when a lab in Maryland began to cultivate live anthrax from a shipment that they thought was dead.
Four labs in America have been shipping the anthrax, but it is mostly coming from the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah state.
The DoD said there is no indication that the shipping out of the deadly anthrax was deliberate.
Many of the labs that received the specimens were working on a project with the DoD to develop a new test to identify biological threats.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is leading the investigation into the major gaffe.
Bob Work, deputy Secretary of Defence, and CDC officials tried to calm the public by assuring that they face little risk.
And Jason McDonald, a CDC spokesman, said: "CDC is concerned with understanding what happened here and to make sure affected labs have everything they need to protect their workers."
Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax, contains spores that can cause death if inhaled.
In 2001, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, letters containing anthrax spores were posted to several American media offices and two US senators. Five people were killed and 17 infected.
According to the FBI the investigation into the anthrax attacks became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".

Premier Marinas
Premier Marinas owns and operates eight of the UK's most prestigious marinas. With over 5,000 berths, it strives to be the finest marina operator in the UK, providing first-class boat storage services and quality boatyard facilities at all its marinas.
"More website enquiries please"
Premier Marinas wanted to increase the number of website enquiries from paid search campaigns whilst reducing the cost per enquiry. An emphasis needed to be placed on placing Premier Marinas as the number one marina on the south coast from a quality perspective and it was essential that ad copy matched the culture of the brand as well as driving traffic to the site.
Reduce wasted spend
With a modest advertising budget, our first priority was to minimise any wasted spend in the account. Keyword refinement and a strong negative keyword list ensured only the highest quality traffic was driven to the site. We removed a substantial number of keywords from the account, which resulted in a dramatic drop in irrelevant impressions and expanded the keyword list into untapped areas. We also split-tested ad copy to increase click through rate, ensuring that the main 'quality' message was constantly being communicated.
Don't lose prospects at the quote stage
Finally, we needed to ensure that we were growing the number of enquiries submitted through the website. Users are shown a berthing quote before submitting any details so it was essential that we continued to push the quality message at this stage to ensure that users submitted their details. We also experimented with different landing pages to ensure we were providing the user with the best possible user journey and therefore increasing conversion rates.
Major headway

Roasted Delicata Squash with Vegan Walnut Pesto is bound to be a crowd pleaser at your family's holiday celebration! With just a handful of ingredients and big flavor, it's a healthy side dish you can really dig into!
It's officially the holiday season!! Happy dance your way over to Starbucks for a red cup (wait, green?) then meet me right back here in three…two…one…
Ok! Ready?
This year I wanted to share more "Thanksgiving sides" that are super simple and highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients. I love pitching in and making a few sides for T-day and it wouldn't be fair to keep the yumminess to myself and my table.
So, here's how we're going to do this: I am going to share a series of recipes over the coming weeks that all are awesome as holiday side dishes! You can make one or all of them, but they all work together. In fact, the ingredients are minimal and many of the dishes share the same ingredients! That really streamlines things come T-day and ensures your head won't explode all over while shuffling through a stack of recipes. I got ya.
ALSO! If there is a "leftovers suggestion" that goes with a dish, I'll leave it at the bottom of each post! Don't worry, you won't be eating the same meal over and over for a week.
So we are going to start with Roasted Delicata Squash with a super simple Vegan Walnut Pesto. Why is it vegan? Well I've left out the parmesan cheese. I assure you, you don't miss it, but if you fear you will, certainly add in a Tablespoon or two and you're good.
Delicata is one of my favorite squashes because it has a subtle, buttery taste (not cloyingly sweet like butternut or pumpkin), roasts quickly, AND you don't have to peel it! Yes! You seriously just scrape out the seeds, slice it and roast it. Super simple. Oh, and did I mention it looks like a flower?
I've paired it with a walnut pesto! Walnuts are way cheaper than pine nuts, easier to find, and have a more woodsy taste, so they stand out more. I really love how they pair with the squash and how this whole dish comes together with minimal yet wonderful flavors.
Your guests will really appreciate the fact that this dish doesn't take over their plate and make it impossible to see pie in their future. I hate when I start digging in and within minutes realize my choice of sides just pushed my pie time back to 9 or 10 pm. Total buzz kill.
Ready for the recipe?
- 1 medium-sized delicata squash
- olive oil (preferably olive oil spray)
- ¼ cup raw walnuts
- handful of fresh basil
- ½ tsp. Kosher salt
- ½ tsp. lemon zest
- 4 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 370 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with a thin layer of olive oil.
- Cut the end off of your squash and use a long spoon to dig out all of the seeds (I used an iced tea spoon). Then, cut the squash into "flowers" that are about ½ cm thick. Place them on your baking sheet in a single layer.
- Spray the squash with more olive oil (or drizzle on a light layer). Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Make your pesto: Place all of the pesto ingredients (walnuts, basil, salt, lemon zest and olive oil) in a high powered blender or food processor. Pulse and blend on low until the walnuts are in very small pieces and it looks like a chutney. If you like creamy pesto, feel free to blend until smooth and add more olive oil if necessary.
- Lay your squash onto your serving tray and drizzle with the pesto. Serve warm, enjoy!
- Squash and pesto can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge in well-sealed containers (separately). Let the pesto come to room temperature and warm the squash then put them together and serve.
Here's another fabulous Thanksgiving side dish from the past! AND did I mention pie? Because I love pie! Want another fun pesto to try? This one is sure to delight!

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hi guys, please help me. I'm attempting to use the noesis javascript dll in a webapplication, and I'm getting this exception everywhere:
Could not load file or assembly 'Noesis.Javascript' or one of its dependencies. Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. (Exception
from HRESULT: 0x80131045)
Could anyone tell me how can I use Javascript.net in a webapplicaiton?
My guess is that you do not have Visual Studio 2010, the C++ language installed. Right ?
Noesis comes with 2 MVC*.dll, make sure they are in the folder bin\debug.
if this works, you could install Visual Studio 2010, the C++ languague, or Visual Studio Express C++ 2010, or
To fredericaltorres
Thanks for your reply. In fact these two files have been installed on my computer. Finally I solved the problem via rebuilding souce code without the snk file, and no exception was thrown any more.
I have the same problem though I do have VC++ installed. I can run a service or a console application with Noesis.Javascript assembly, but not my unit test dll.
What are my options apart from signing it myself?

This staff members of this organization treats those who are served with dignity and respect. The staff is very committed to assisting individuals and families, and expanding awareness of the organization within the San Antonio community. Providing a Diaper Bank allows our organization to address a great need in our community, as there is no government assistance for diapers. We are very pleased to partner Methodist Healthcare Ministries' Wesley Nurse Health Ministries in offer parenting education classes. We feel strongly that this non-profit organization is helping families and individuals with babies the essential item of diapers to raise healthy children.
The first time I heard about HRPCH I was so moved by the work they were doing through their parenting classes, I seized a corporate opportunity to partner with them. We met with the director to see if our company Nationwide Insurance, could plan a "baby shower" in order to help with baby item donations. Since then, we have had 2 events and HRPCH's story was selected for Nationwide's United Way campaign in 2012. Teaching parenting skills is so needed in our Community but often not an option for those who are already struggling to make ends meet. HRPCH gives individuals a chance to succeed by teaching them life skills they will use for a lifetime. At the same time, they use resources to help individuals with other needs. They treat everyone with dignity and respect. The Community feels blessed when they leave that place! I have also had the privilege of serving on the board this year and I have seen firsthand how this organization is truly lead by passionate individuals with a heart to serve our Community and show Christ's compassion through example.
An unmet need of economically struggling families with very young children is having sufficient diapers to maintain proper sanitation and health. In addition to meeting emergency food needs of San Antonio's households, the Hispanic Religious Partnership for Community Health has identified this unmet need and addresses it by not only supplying diapers but also, and perhaps more importantly, providing parenting classes to those parents receiving the diapers. Classes address the very important subjects of health, stimulation, guidance, discipline, and nutrition. As a ministry of the United Methodist Churches in the area, clients receive treatment with care and compassion as the mission and core value of the board and staff are undergirded with the teachings of and belief in Jesus Christ. Early childhood care is recognized as a key factor, perhaps THE key factor, in future growth and development. The Hispanic religious Partnership for Community Health is recognized as a prime and effective force in this area.
I have been blessed by being serving as a board member of this organization for the last ten years. When I began serving, Jorge Medina had just started working as the director. He has helped guide this organization to reach out to various parts of San Antonio providing first class service to the clients. While the staff has changed through the years, Jorge has been the consistent person helping the board seek to provide vision, planning, guidance, monitoring, and hope for the future as the program and outreach has expanded. As board we have been pleased that with limited resources but a dedicated, caring staff we have been able to provide a holistic service to our clients and are continuing to seek new partnership to better serve people. We are proud to know that our organization is finally beginning to be recognized as it stives for excellence in all its programs through its staff and volunteers. As a board we know there is still much that needs to be done and improved, but pray that God will help us fulfill our responsibility to better serve people.
I started as volunteer with HRPCH almost two years after it began. I am a Food Pantry volunteer for El Divino Salvador U.M.C. located on 1701 W. Woodlawn, San Antonio, TX 78201. The Food Pantry was started by three elderly ladies and the customer base was about 10 or 15 clients. We opened one day a week each month. HRPCH partnered with the City and we were guest at the City Health Fairs. We grew from one to one greet and introduce the community to our services and letting them know where we are located. Very soon we were feeding 125 clients each week of the month. Our volunteer pool grew to twelve regular church members volunteering to pickup the food, stock the shelves, interview the cliens and distribute the foods. The friendly caring manner in which the client is welcomed and treated with dignity makes our Food Panty tops. The fact that Hispanic Religious Partership for Community Health Inc. is housed at our church makes it convient for our clients to access other services offered by the staff of HRPCH. The HRPCH staff is friendly and ready to greet and serve the clients that we refer to them. I became a board member about three years ago and we have taken training class to ensure that we are meeting the requirements of a Non-Profit Help Service Agency. Jorge Medina continues to seek ways to help city families with services that can reduce the financial strain in many households with small children and babies. Health maintenace is a high concern for board members. During client interviews by the HRPCH staff and Food Pantry volunteers we can see what help services the clients need. Many choices are made by young families and elderly. Decisions about providing medical care or nourishment for themselves or their families is often last in their budget because of their low income and high cost of living. When they come to HRPCH they are treated with dignity and helped promptly.

Nicknames: we've all had them at some point. Some of them, we hated. Some of them, we loved.
In the military, nicknames are often used as a lighthearted way to poke fun at one of your brothers or sisters in arms, really as a way of building family and camaraderie in the unit.
We would guess that the individuals who most often get nicknames in the military are the junior officers. For example, one of us was called "Princess" as an O-1. That's about as much as you're getting of that story!
Anyway, tell us your nicknames via the link below!
We already have a great list building up thus far.

Arthur Parton 1842-1914
Anglers on a River Sunset
- 7 x 14 inches (17.8 x 35.6 cm)
- Signed and dated lower left: Arthur Parton '70
- 1870
Why We Love It
Although he is among the lesser-known artists of the Hudson River School, Arthur Parton studied with William Trost Richards and this glowing Luminist landscape demonstrates his consummate mastery over the techniques of this style. In this gem-like painting, Parton deftly renders the dramatic light effects of the sun setting over this quiet river scene.
The Value
We have always advised our clients to buy the best of what they can afford. If a client could only acquire a work by a lesser-known artist, then we encouraged that client to buy that artist's best painting. This work by Arthur Parton demonstrates our thinking. It is a wonderful example of American Luminism, deftly painted, beautifully framed. It is truly a gem, and here, Parton holds his own against many of the better known practitioners of the style.
Artist Background
1842: Born in Hudson, New York; 1862: Exhibited in Philadelphia; 1865: Settled in New York City and became well-established in the art world there; 1869: Spent the year traveling in Europe; 1871: Elected as an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design; 1884: Became a full Academician at the NAD; 1886; Received a Gold Medal of the American Art Association and the Temple Medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; 1900: Won a prize at the Paris Exposition; 1904: Won a prize at the St. Louis Exposition; 1914: Died at the age of 71.
