Model Program Keeps Homeless Housed
We found this article on housing first of interest. your comments will be appreciated.
Columbus Program Succeeds by Giving Homeless an Apartment First, Then Tackling Other Problems
01/04/2007 | The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio)
A Columbus, Ohio, program considered a global model of the housing first philosophy has created 760 supportive housing apartments for homeless people since its inception in 1999, reported The Columbus Dispatch. The Rebuilding Lives program ascribes to the notion that chronically homeless people need not be clean and sober before they are housed, but rather should get treatment once they are in their home, according to the executive director of the Community Shelter Board. Once housed, Rebuilding Lives tenants are connected to counseling, job training, budgeting classes, and other supports. Only six program participants have returned to a shelter since the program's inception, the Community Shelter Board official said. Participants have also made fewer trips to the emergency room, she said. According to city officials, the program costs about $11,608 per participant per year, but reduces emergency services costs by tens of thousands of dollars.

Many people like to keep their glass pieces relatively clean, or enjoy reaping the benefits of scraping their bowels for resin to smoke. I can scrape my bowel pretty clean, but there is only so much you can get out. The end result is usually a pipe that wont look right until you get more resin in it to give it back its color. And every time you do this it gets harder to scrape clean because of the old stuff hardening.
If you follow this technique you can get your pipe as clean as it was the day you bought it every time, plus it will always be easier to scrape your pipe the next time.

Carbon-ceramic brakes built a glamorous reputation in Formula One racing, creating vivid images of discs glowing red during hard braking at the end of long straightaways.
Their high cost limited them to exotic performance cars. But carbon-ceramic brakes are now available on cars priced as low as 60,000 euros (about $80,000 at current exchange rates). And a new manufacturing process could make them affordable for even budget-minded enthusiasts.
The technology has been slow to spread to production vehicles since it was introduced in racing 15 years ago. Porsche first offered a carbon-ceramic brake option on the 911 GT2 in the late 1990s, followed by the more mainstream 911 Turbo in 2000.
Today, carbon-ceramic brakes are optional on all Ferraris, most Lamborghinis and Porsches and the Bentley Continental GT Diamond. These cars are priced above $133,000.
The percentage of buyers choosing this option ranges from more than half for Ferrari models to 6 percent for the Audi RS 4.
For enthusiasts, the performance-driving benefits -- less weight, better handling because of reduced unsprung weight (the mass of the body and components not supported by the suspension), durability and fade resistance -- make the high price worthwhile. But if the price falls dramatically, carbon-ceramic brakes also could appeal to more thrifty buyers.
Carbon-ceramic brake discs last four times longer than conventional steel discs, so owners are unlikely to replace carbon-ceramic discs. Brake pads last longer on the carbon-ceramic systems, too. But at $15 to $20 a disc for steel discs and $665 to $2,660 a disc for carbon-ceramic, owners cannot recoup their cost on the more durable system.
The big step
SGL Carbon AG, of Wiesbaden, Germany, and Audi AG are trying to reduce manufacturing costs for carbon discs by moving from batch production to a continuous process.
Since last year, Audi and SGL have been working to establish automated production, reported the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau.
"The cost of a disc will come down to 350 euros (about $465) with the new process," says SGL Carbon CEO Robert Koehler. He would not disclose details of the technique.
Audi declined to comment on the technology.
Antonio Ferreira, manager of European component forecasts at CSM Worldwide in London, is skeptical of carbon's broader market potential, even with reduced costs.
"You would need huge volumes to get the price down," he says. "Suppliers would have to come to a two-digit price (per disc). Nothing else is feasible when a complete braking system is not even into three figures."
At Italy's Brembo, which has a 60 percent market share in top-end sports- and luxury-car brakes, carbon-ceramic is still in a "quasi-prototype" phase, said Roberto Vavassori, business development director.
Light and durable
But Vavassori is optimistic, saying the technology's lower weight and long life could become as important as its extreme performance.
"We haven't seen the full potential for carbon brakes yet," he told Automotive News Europe. "They can save 40 kilograms (88 pounds) on an extreme car where mass is important. And in the future, we may see wider adoption in other segments, too."
SGL is working with Porsche and Audi to develop ready-made auto components.
The key to lowering costs is simplifying production.
"It's not mechanical but chemical," said Brembo's Vavassori. "We start from powders and end up with a lightweight disc, but an expensive one."
Antoni Sznerch, business development director of United Kingdom-based Surface Transforms, says versions of the carbon brakes for cars must be even more sophisticated than those on airplanes or race cars.
"The process is similar to how nature creates coal and extremely hard substances like diamonds," says Sznerch, whose company makes SystemST carbon brakes. "Some processes are lengthy, demanding three weeks in the chamber to go through a thermal cycle."
How it works
Carbon-ceramic brakes use the same principle as ordinary disc brakes. Stationary twin calipers clamp onto both sides of a disc rotating next to each wheel of a car, slowing it by friction.
The energy of the car's momentum is transformed into heat at the point of the friction, so brakes can get extremely hot. Carbon-ceramic brakes use carbon fiber and ceramic materials that are stable at temperatures that would make steel discs bendable. Performance doesn't diminish, leading to fade, with repeated use.
Carbon-ceramic brakes also typically use larger calipers to spread the clamping force over a wider area, improving braking performance.
Race-car brakes must be warmed before they work properly. For passenger cars, carbon-ceramic brakes must be fully effective immediately. The discs and brake pads are more sophisticated, with carbon fibers arranged to strengthen the disc and conduct heat away from the surface.
Bentley: Demanding case
Weighing 5,258 pounds and capable of 198 mph, the front-engine Bentley Continental GT has "almost certainly the most demanding braking task of any production car," says Brian Guash, Bentley's director of chassis, powertrain and motor sports.
Midengine cars such as the Bugatti Veyron have it easier, Guash says. Their weight distribution means that all four wheels can share more of the braking effort. On the Continental, the front brakes do most of the work.
The Continental GT already had the biggest brake discs in the industry at 16.2 inches. "Now we've broken our own record, with a 420-millimeter (16.8-inch) carbon-ceramic disc, which is half the weight and gives us lower unsprung and rotating masses," Guash says.
The ceramic brakes also have superior fade resistance and improve steering precision, he says. Pad life has tripled, and discs should last the life of the car.

APEX Insight: AMI Wines has joined forces with airline supply chain management specialists SkylogistiX to improve the efficiency of United Airlines' wine program.
AMI Wines and SkylogistiX, LSG Group's supply-chain management and logistics expert, have partnered to make United Airlines' wine program more efficient. The two companies began working together on July 9 of this year, as a joint team based in Chicago.
In supporting AMI, which supplies wine to United, SkylogistiX is using SkyLog, a web-based supply chain management application that lets airlines optimize the purchase, storage and distribution of any products or equipment. SkyLog will be used to provide complete wine management for all United flights alongside an intuitive IT interface which will allow United's warehouse suppliers to plan and forecast with increased accuracy.
Eric Hutlas, director of Supply Chain Management at SkylogistiX, explains, "We can utilize SkyLog to provide accurate forecasting data, taking into account the airline's system schedule and loading requirements by comparing consumption figures versus planned numbers. SkyLog also provides visibility into what the caterer inventory has on hand, to what may be in transit to their location and to what is required for their next delivery."
"We've looked for the best of the best in the industry and have chosen SkylogistiX for its logistics expertise and latest technology," said CEO of AMI Wines Denise Poole."Together, we can provide United Airlines with a full-service package that simplifies their wine program from beginning to end."
United Airlines' wines are chosen with the help of Doug Frost, one of only four people in the world qualified as both a Master Sommelier and Master of Wine. There is a selection of two different white and red wines on offer in Polaris first and business class, with champagnes and other additional wines varying by route.
SkylogistiX celebrated its ten-year anniversary in October 2017 and also specializes in tracking aircraft catering trolleys and their locations using a solution called SkyTrack.

There's something immediately visually appealing about Samurai: Way of the Warrior. Yes it's got a bit of a cartoonish look, cell shaded and very reminiscent of the recent Zelda game for the Nintendo DS – but at the same time, it's a bloody and violent game, far more visceral than you'd get from big N. What kind of game does this all add up to? Read on to find out.
Dexter the Game, one of the more eagerly awaited titles for the iDevice, has finally sneaked into the App Store for the kill. As most of you already know, Dexter is arguably one of the best TV shows around (certainly one of my favorites) that follows the story of Dexter Morgan, a blood splatter analyst for the Miami police department who leads a double life and morphs into a menacing serial killer by night (stalking only those who deserve it of course…)
Help Dexter serve justice and protect his identity while testing your investigative skills. Analyze crime scenes, uncover evidence, and choose which brand of justice best suits the situation: the courts or the Dark Passenger. The outcome of every choice and action revolves around the Code of Harry: only kill the guilty, maintain the Mask, and, above all, don't get caught!
This visually stunning game also features an original storyline written by series producer Tim Schlattmann and voice overs by the man himself, Michael C. Hall. The early feedback on iTunes has been generally positive and it's looking like fans of the TV series should definitely be checking out Dexter the Game, one that could very well propel into the App Store Top 10 bestsellers in no time.
Marc Ecko Entertainment, Dexter the Game, $5.99, 396 MB
In the world of adventure games, few titles have left eternal marks as deep as 1994's Beneath a Steel Sky. Revolution's futuristic cyber punk game took players to a darkly humorous future where hacking and strange commercial intrigues leave society up-side down, quite literally. Â The futuristic point and click adventure is near perfect blend of grit and bright, shiny story telling. The rumour on the street is that this game will come to more than just the iDevice as Revolution Pocket (the unit responsible for its port) delves deeper into their past.
Thou who have asked politely and waited patiently, shall receive. Been waiting for an iDevice game reminiscent of the popular console and PC franchise, Grand Theft Auto? Well, my friends, the time has come and your prayers have been answered – Gangstar is now available at the App Store.
Mummys Revenge is a great little game, and you should pick it up. What? You want to know more? Ok, it's a little like the games of yore, like Goonies 2 or Pitfall, combined with modern graphics and gameplay ideas such as weapon upgrades. And if you've already played Zombieville USA and the recently released Inkvaders on the iDevice, you'll feel right at home with this particular genre of games. Mummy's Revenge is definitely worth your money, especially at the current sale price of a dollar.
I have admitted it before and I'll admit it again: my gaming skills are far from admirable. Add that to inept puzzle-solving abilities, and I am a sad and frustrated lump of a gamer who can barely stretch his digital legs. Fortunately, I thrive on frustration and Connect2Media's Timeloop has plenty of it. It is a fun game which places you in the role of Nik, the robotic janitor of a mad-scientist who has just invented the time-machine. As they must, things go astray whilst Nik is cleaning. The result? The professor is trapped and Nik is left with the duty of freeing his boss and recapturing a litter of runaway kittens before time runs out.
Every console and every mobile device needs its own platformer. I grew up playing the Spyro and Crash Bandicoot series on my PS1 which, in my opinion, were two of greatest series the gaming world had ever seen back when the 32-bit console wars were heating up. This time, the spotlight isn't on the Playstation or Dreamcast; its on the 32-bit iPhone and the war has been over a long while.
iDroidsMania, by Artificial Life (go figure), is a breath of a fresh air among side-scrollings. While the story may not be completely original, gameplay mechanics and weapons definitely make iDroidsMania a distinct and great play for your iDevice.
This is not the critically acclaimed action RPG known as Mass Effect that was released on the Xbox 360 and PC back in 2007. Mass Effect Galaxy is EA and BioWare's rendition of Mass Effect for the iDevice with a completely different story, gameplay, and characters (two of which will be appearing in Mass Effect 2). While Mass Effect Galaxy does not fully live up to its "Mass Effect†title, it is still an entertaining game that unfortunately suffers from a few aspects.
blacksmith games has recently sent us word of their very first iDevice title, an upcoming platformer called Plushed. Set in a fairytale world where a little girl is queen, you must take control of her royal plushies, travese through 'haunted meadows and creepy castles' and ultimately defeat the evil voodoo mouse and his gang of wacky minions. While we've seen this kind of story play out a million times before (save the princess, restore order to the kingdom), blacksmith games attempts to set themselves apart with some unique gameplay and a very likeable, not to mention reluctant hero in the bunny rabbit.

Sabbath, March 30, 2013
"In view of the event of Christ's soon coming, we must be vigilantly working to prepare our own souls, to keep our own lamps trimmed and burning, and to urge upon others the necessity of getting ready for the coming of the Bridegroom. Watching and working must go together; faith and works must be united, or our characters will not be symmetrical and well-balanced, perfect in Christ Jesus." –Selected Messages, book 1, pp. 138, 139.
John the Baptist, friend of the Bridegroom
1. Who introduced the Bridegroom and in what terms?
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 3:27-29 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
"John had been deeply moved as he saw Jesus bowed as a suppliant, pleading with tears for the approval of the Father. As the glory of God encircled Him, and the voice from heaven was heard, John recognized the token which God had promised. He knew that it was the world's Redeemer whom he had baptized. The Holy Spirit rested upon him, and with outstretched hand pointing to Jesus, he cried, 'Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world….
"John represented himself as the friend who acted as a messenger between the betrothed parties, preparing the way for the marriage. When the bridegroom had received his bride, the mission of the friend was fulfilled. He rejoiced in the happiness of those whose union he had promoted." –The Desire of Ages, pp. 112, 179.
The Bridegroom taken away
2. Would the Bridegroom remain with His disciples?
Matthew 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
John 14:2, 3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
"He said, 'when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.' When they should see their Lord betrayed and crucified, the disciples would mourn and fast. In His last words to them in the upper chamber, He said, 'A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.' John 16:19, 20." –The Desire of Ages, p. 277.
3. When the Bridegroom was taken away? Where did He go?
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:55, 56 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
"The time had come for Christ to ascend to His Father's throne. As a divine conqueror He was about to return with the trophies of victory to the heavenly courts." –The Desire of Ages, p. 829.
"The ministration of the priest throughout the year in the first apartment of the sanctuary, 'within the veil' which formed the door and separated the holy place from the outer court, represents the work of ministration upon which Christ entered at His ascension…. So did Christ plead His blood before the Father in behalf of sinners, and present before Him also, with the precious fragrance of His own righteousness, the prayers of penitent believers…. Thither the faith of Christ's disciples followed Him as He ascended from their sight….
For eighteen centuries this work of ministration continued in the first apartment of the sanctuary. The blood of Christ, pleaded in behalf of penitent believers, secured their pardon and acceptance with the Father…." –The Great Controversy, pp. 420, 421.
Parable of the wedding
4. What happened at the beginning of the Advent Movement as the seventh angel began to sound his trumpet? How is the wedding represented? What parable refers to this event?
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Matthew 25:1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
"So Christ had only completed one part of His work as our intercessor, to enter upon another portion of the work, and He still pleaded His blood before the Father in behalf of sinners….
"Christ had come, not to the earth, as they expected, but, as foreshadowed in the type, to the most holy place of the temple of God in heaven….
"The proclamation, 'Behold, the Bridegroom cometh,' in the summer of 1844, led thousands to expect the immediate advent of the Lord. At the appointed time the Bridegroom came, not to the earth, as the people expected, but to the Ancient of Days in heaven, to the marriage, the reception of His kingdom. 'They that were ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut.' They were not to be present in person at the marriage; for it takes place in heaven, while they are upon the earth. The followers of Christ are to 'wait for their Lord, when He will return from the wedding.' Luke 12:36. But they are to understand His work, and to follow Him by faith as He goes in before God. It is in this sense that they are said to go in to the marriage." –The Great Controversy, pp. 429, 424, 427.
The bride and the guests
5. What is said about the bride and the guests?
Revelation 21:9, 10 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
"In the parable, when the bridegroom came, 'they that were ready went in with him to the marriage.' The coming of the bridegroom, here brought to view, takes place before the marriage. The marriage represents the reception by Christ of His kingdom. The Holy City, the New Jerusalem, which is the capital and representative of the kingdom, is called 'the bride, the Lamb's wife.' Said the angel to John: 'Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.' 'He carried me away in the spirit,' says the prophet, 'and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.' Revelation 21:9, 10. Clearly, then, the bride represents the Holy City, and the virgins that go out to meet the bridegroom are a symbol of the church. In the Revelation the people of God are said to be the guests at the marriage supper. Revelation 19:9. If guests, they cannot be represented also as the bride. Christ, as stated by the prophet Daniel, will receive from the Ancient of Days in heaven, 'dominion, and glory, and a kingdom;' He will receive the New Jerusalem, the capital of His kingdom, 'prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.' Daniel 7:14; Revelation 21:2." –The Great Controversy, pp. 426, 427.
The wedding feast
6. When will the Bridegroom come to take the saints with Him to the wedding supper of the Lamb? How will He be attired?
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
"Then I saw Jesus, who had been ministering before the ark containing the ten commandments, throw down the censer. He raised His hands, and with a loud voice said, 'It is done.'…
"Every case had been decided for life or death. While Jesus had been ministering in the sanctuary, the judgment had been going on for the righteous dead, and then for the righteous living. Christ had received His kingdom, having made the atonement for His people and blotted out their sins. The subjects of the kingdom were made up. The marriage of the Lamb was consummated. And the kingdom, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, was given to Jesus and the heirs of salvation, and Jesus was to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords." –Early Writings, pp. 279, 280.
"The coming of the bridegroom was at midnight–the darkest hour. So the coming of Christ will take place in the darkest period of this earth's history." –Christ's Object Lessons, p. 414.
7. What is said about those to whom it will be granted to partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb?
Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
"By the king's examination of the guests at the feast is represented a work of judgment. The guests at the gospel feast are those who profess to serve God, those whose names are written in the book of life….
"By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christ's true followers will possess. To the church it is given 'that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white,' 'not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.' Revelation 19:8; Ephesians 5:27. The fine linen, says the Scripture, 'is the righteousness of saints.' Revelation 19:8. It is the righteousness of Christ, His own unblemished character, that through faith is imparted to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour….
"Only the covering which Christ Himself has provided can make us meet to appear in God's presence. This covering, the robe of His own righteousness, Christ will put upon every repenting, believing soul. 'I counsel thee,' He says, 'to buy of Me … white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.' Revelation 3:18." –Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 310, 311.
For meditation
"We are to give to men the last call to the gospel feast, the last invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb." –Gospel Workers, p. 64.
"Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, 'Behold your God.' The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love. The children of God are to manifest His glory. In their own life and character they are to reveal what the grace of God has done for them." –Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 415, 416.
For personal study
"Having received the kingdom, He will come in His glory, as King of kings and Lord of lords, for the redemption of His people, who are to 'sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,' at His table in His kingdom (Matthew 8:11; Luke 22:30), to partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb." –The Great Controversy, p. 426.

Celina in Edmonton
In the summer of 1795, twenty-two men built Fort Augustus, later to become Fort Edmonton, which means "happy helmet." In July of 1897, the steamer Portland arrived at Schwabacher's dock on the Seattle waterfront and discharged a horde of successful Klondike gold miners, weighed down with bags, sacks and boxes of gold. Edmonton has been an integral part of the development of western Canada ever since then and was the jumping off point for those heading to the Klondike in search of gold. Every summer the tradition continues as Edmonton celebrates its roots during Klondike Days.
Canada's largest historical park, Fort Edmonton Park, is open from the end of May through September and has more than 70 period buildings set in four time periods in Edmonton's history. Costumed players recreate life at the 1846 fur trade fort, at the 1885 settlement, as it was in the capital city of 1905 and as a city set on achievement during the 1920's.

Epoxy Sewer Line Replacement
My sewer line is backing up. This is the second time in the last two months. We're smelling sewage around the house, and I'm beginning to think this is more than a clogged sewer line. Does any of this sound familiar? You start to think, "What will it cost to replace a sewer line?", and "What about my landscaping?" For most homeowners, you can count on one hand the times you have had to call your plumber, especially if you're in a newer home. We can probably give you the update on the latest iPhone technology, but the latest plumbing technology, that's another story. In fact, most homeowners don't even know anyone that's had their sewer pipe replaced.
You Don't Need To Tear Up Your Old Sewer Line
In most cases, your cracked or broken sewer pipe doesn't need replacing. Here's the silver lining, no pun intended, instead of replacing your sewer line you can have an epoxy sewer line installed. Furthermore, you don't have to tear up your current landscaping. The epoxy sewer line is also referred to as a cured in place sewer line and a trenchless sewer line.
Epoxy Sewer Line – How The Process Works:
1) The pipe must be video inspected by your plumbing company. Most sewer lines qualify for the epoxy coating, but in some cases, if the damage is too severe, it will need replacing. A camera is sent down the pipe to inspect the damage.
2) The pipe needs to be free of any debris so it's cleared with a plumber's snake or a hydro-jetter.
3) Once the line is cleared and cleaned, the pipelining can be pulled into place. An epoxy resin saturated pipe is pulled into position. The pipeliner is made of polyester and fiberglass.
4) Air pressure is inserted into the liner, holding it to the inner walls of the sewer line until it dries in place.
The project's completed without being invasive to the landscaping because only a small portion of the sewer line needs to be accessed. An epoxy sewer line is expected to last 50 years or longer.
We Want To Be Your Plumber For Life
At Big B's Plumbing, we have highly trained expert plumbers in the area of epoxy sewer lines. We've been serving San Diego, Inland Empire, and Riverside County for close to a decade. You can check out our reviews on Facebook, Yelp and Google+…we call them referrals.

How do you communicate with your workforce? Emails, for sure. Maybe webinars. Lots of meetings and national conferences? All of these communication modes are predicated on the hope that emails are read, webinars are available at the right time of day, meetings and especially national conferences are not forgotten within days. And of course, all of these are needed, but shouldn't you consider adding one more way for your employees to access all of the great and important things on your business? The answer should be a resounding yes! Because with podcasts, all of your business information and key company initiatives become part of a library of content for your employees and sales teams to access whenever and wherever on their mobile devices.
All of these modes of keeping employees informed, educated and motivated have had a role to play in building your culture, improving your sales, and beating your competitors. But they're all about to be supercharged by the fastest-growing and I would argue much more compelling method of private business podcasts.
First, some statistics that tell the story.
In a study of more than 5,600 Americans—"The Podcast Consumer 2019"—conducted by Edison Research and Triton Digital:
All of these numbers show a significant increase over the previous year, a trend that seems unstoppable – and it's just now being adopted by innovative companies…perhaps one of your competitors.
What this means is that many of your employees, especially younger employees, are already fans of podcasts as a means of listening to business icons, sales experts, and a myriad of media and entertainment personalities. And trust me, they are listening on their commutes, over lunch, in-between sales calls, traveling… you get where this is going… they should be listening to compelling and important company podcasts. So, beyond that, why is it right for your company?
Meaningful messaging: Employees get information from the horse's mouth—senior leaders who can deliver important news bulletins, motivational messages or training in a much more compelling manner than through the written word.
Relationship building: Executives are able to reveal their personalities, speak passionately about issues, and connect with their listeners, creating a "we're all in this together" spirit. There's no way to lead a company with hundreds or thousands of employees if they don't believe and trust in your leadership. And while it's not possible to meet with everyone in person, podcasts feel like a one-to-one discussion between senior leadership and the individual employee. Podcasts will help them feel they know you and your values.
Mobile: Remember the famous American Express advertising campaign "Don't leave home without it?" Today no one today leaves home without their smart phone and two-thirds of podcast consumers listen on a mobile device. Because they can listen anywhere, any time. According to Nielsen there was a 157 percent increase in smartphone podcast listening in just three years. The Millennials and Gen Z's are forcing companies to adapt to a new way of communication – make it easy for them, accessible 24/7, and in a bite-size format (15-25 minutes) that informs, with just enough creative audio elements to make them want to listen.
Multi-tasking: Jay Baer, author of six books including "Talk Triggers: The Complete Guide to Creating Customers with Word of Mouth," says that one of the great drivers of podcast consumption growth is that they are the ultimate multi-tasking content format. He puts it this way: "Ever try to mow your lawn while reading a blog post? Or while watching a YouTube video? Doable maybe, but not advisable. Podcasts, however, you can consume while you're doing other stuff, making them perfect to fit into the same time window as other life activities."
Results getting: Evidence that podcasts get results also came in the Edison survey with 54 percent of listeners reporting that they are more likely to buy a product or service that they hear advertised. The significance is that your employees are likely to be even more engaged with your message. And it's well known that audio keeps hold of someone's attention for a longer period of time.
Keeping it confidential: You probably have data or strategies that you don't want to reveal to the world—especially your competitors. You can set up a secure private network for your podcasts that can only be accessed by the people you want to be able to access. And you can even review analytics on your podcasts (who is listening, how often, etc) and they can share feedback on episodes.
Culture building: What does your company stand for? Do you have a genuine purpose? Do you practice what you preach? Employees can get a much better feel for who you are and what you believe in when they listen to your heartfelt podcast communication.
All in all, I have come to the conclusion that private business podcasts are the future. The most powerful way for a company to communicate and build solid relationships with its employees.

A truly excellent piece. Really like the additional details. Hopefully, it will be viewable in either the clay or bronze in July as I sure want to check it out. Would be interested in knowing the pre-cast price if possible and whether you plan on a colored version. Again, a terrific piece. Makes me want to go out and buy a pound of Arbuckles!

Labels: genocide in central Africa
Posted by Ajin b. Gagah at Friday, January 17, 2014
0 comments:
A senior UN official has given warning of the risk of genocide in the Central African Republic without a more robust international response to communal bloodshed in which at least eight more people have died.
John Ging, director of operations for the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said on Thursday that the crisis was foreseeable and stemmed from many years of international neglect.
"The stakes are extremely high," he said after returning from a five-day trip to the country.
"The elements are there, the seeds are there for a genocide, there's no question about that."
The former French colony descended into chaos after a mostly Muslim rebel coalition, Seleka, seized power in March, unleashing a wave of killings and looting that spurred revenge attacks by Christian militia known as "anti-balaka" (anti-machete).
More than a million people have been displaced by the violence since Seleka installed their leader Michel Djotodia as interim president.
Up to 1,000 people were killed last month alone in the capital Bangui, prompting neighbouring countries to evacuate more than 30,000 of their citizens.
However, with swift intervention the country's dire situation could be reversed, Ging said.
"This one is not a hopeless case," he said. "The consequences will be dramatic if we don't act immediately and effectively."
There has been relative calm since Djotodia resigned last week under intense international pressure, but sporadic violence has persisted in Bangui.
On Thursday, a spokesman for a 15,000-strong group of anti-balaka criticised the interim government and threatened a return to violence if it was not overhauled.
CAR is designated by the UN as one of the top three global humanitarian emergencies, along with Syria and the Philippines. But a UN appeal has received only six percent of a $247m target.
France hurriedly sent some 1,600 troops to its former colony in December.

If your hair falls till your shoulders, then you need not worry. You are free to choose whatever hairstyle for short hair suits your fancy.
The best hairstyle for short hair is to give them a terrific blow dry and set them around your face. This not only increases their volume, but also gives a soft look to the face.
Bangs and fringes are a favorite of trendy and stylish girls. Because they give a younger look in no time and soften your features to a great extent. Bangs go exceptionally well with short hair. Girls can try all sorts of styles like side bangs, full bangs, feathery or even an angled fringe if they are daring.
Whatever hairstyle you choose, it is important to follow your own personal style and personality. Because it takes time to switch from one style to another. Since your hair carry a lot of weight on your overall appearance, it is important to choose your new cut or style very carefully. And only go for something you are sure would look nice on you. Since hairstyles vary from hair texture to texture and also from face cuts and features. You can't blindly copy a hairstyle that you see in a magazine.

The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 19:16-26
At first glance we see a man with good intentions. He recognizes the Lord Jesus as wise and discerning and he decides to ask him a question. "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" That's a great question! At some point in the life of every man woman or child, this question will be asked.
When the Lord Jesus responds to him it is important to note that He doesn't say "Well believe on my name and you will be saved instantly." He tells him that the way to salvation is through obedience to the commandments. "If you would enter life, keep the commandments." The man asked Him "Which commandments?" So the Lord Jesus answered him "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
The man answered Him saying ""All these I have observed; what do I still lack?" There's an important lesson here. If you come to a surgeon and ask him what is wrong, you better be prepared for an answer that involves surgery. This man was pushing the Lord and testing him but the truth is that it didn't come from a pure heart. He asked the surgeon of our souls, and the surgeon responded with an answer "I have to cut out the tumor in your heart." Now we know that the Lord didn't really say that but that is in effect the message that the man heard when the Lord responded ""If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
You see what this man was asking all along was not if he could be saved or how he could be saved. He was asking something else. 1) He was asking if there was an easy way to be saved. And 2) he was trying to see whether he was already "good enough" to get to heaven.
The way that the man responded to Jesus shows us that he wasn't interested in eternal life. 1) He was interested in the easy way to eternal life. The lesson from the Lord is that receiving eternal life is not easy. Getting to heaven actually involves sacrifice. It involves living outside my comfort zone. It involves struggle and toil. Do those things get us to heaven? Nope. Those things help us to follow Jesus Christ and He gets us to God the Father. Sometimes we are sad as Christians because we haven't made much progress, but progress in any discipline requires hard work. Look at the Olympic athletes. None of them can just wake up and say "I'd like to go to the Olympics in a month and win a gold medal." It won't happen. It involves proper training for many hours every day. It involves proper nutrition. It involves proper thinking and strategy. It involves proper coaching too. If this kind of work is necessary to win a medal that will rust and fall apart over time, how much more difficult is the struggle to received the prize which is eternal and from God? We know that this man was looking for an easy way to heaven, but there's more to it.
2) He was also trying to justify himself before the Lord. He was trying to prove that he was already "good enough" to go to heaven. The problem is that you can never justify yourself to God because He is the one who alone declares us righteous and justifies us. Sometimes I will meet people who say "well I don't go to church but I'm a good person." Really?! According to whose standards are you considered good? When people speak this way it's a sign that they have absolutely no idea what sin is or how far they have fallen from the life that God wants us to have. You can't be saved by your own lofty opinions of yourself….you can't be saved apart from the grace and mercy of God. That is why our whole liturgy is spent repeating these words "LORD HAVE MERCY!" No matter what we do we cry out "Lord have mercy".
An encounter with Jesus is always hard because it reminds us that God expects so much from us, and that we still have so far to go. But there is good news. God knows our hearts. God sees our struggle. God loves us and has mercy on us. The Lord is not out to hunt us or imprison us. He does want us to check our hearts. We need to examine them closely and see whether we are looking for an easy way to heaven. The Lord tells us that narrow is the way and there are few who find it. Are we on the narrow path or the wide path, the path that looks easy or the path that is covered with obstacles? Each person has to answer these questions.
Here are a few examples. Those on the wide path go out of their way to avoid helping others. Those on the narrow path go out of their way to help others. Those on the wide path come to church when it is convenient. Those on the narrow path find it convenient to be in church every week. Those on the wide path spend their hard earned money on large homes, large cars, large toys and when there is a bit left they give it to the poor and to the church. Those on the narrow path realize that God has given them wealth to bless the needy and the church in their area. Those on the wide path criticize and nit pick at everything that everyone else is doing wrong. Those on the narrow path blame only themselves before God. The man in this gospel chose the easy, wide path by leaving Jesus behind. May almighty God give us the courage to choose the narrow and difficult way!
Glory be to God forever, AMEN.

Feeling flushed — and, surprisingly, it's not with embarrassment . . .
DIANE Hobbs is passionate about her job. She doesn't just love it; her knowledge of it is second to none. And that suddenly seems all the more reassuring as I prepare to have a stranger insert a tube up my bottom and pump several tanks of water around my colon.
Jayne Taylor tries to beat the bloat with some colonic hydrotherapy
DIANE Hobbs is passionate about her job. She doesn't just love it; her knowledge of it is second to none. And that suddenly seems all the more reassuring as I prepare to have a stranger insert a tube up my bottom and pump several tanks of water around my colon.
Thankfully, Diane doesn't seem a stranger for long and by the time we've gone through a detailed health consultation there is little to be embarrassed about. A stool chart makes me laugh as Diane asks which picture most closely resembles my own. 'Ooh, number four, yes definitely'. According to Diane, I have perfect stools. Don't you just love a compliment?
Diane, whose official title is colonic hydrotherapist, has a lovely (couch-side) manner and following a blood pressure check we are ready to roll. Thanks to an Agatha Christie-esque trick of mirrors I can see the results of my treatment immediately - my body is ridding itself of toxic waste matter as gravity-fed filtered warm water flushes my system. The thought of feeling cleansed is addictive and I watch in fascination as Diane massages my stomach, giving me the best chance to eliminate as much waste as possible.
"The waste is just poison sat there," explains 54-year-old Diane, who operates from Silhouette in Quakers Road, Downend.
"You have five feet of bowel so waste can get stuck and the longer it stays in you the harder and dryer it gets. It's not good to hold onto it - it's just rotting food."
There are numerous rumours doing the rounds about coins swallowed 30 years ago leaving your system and strange glow-in-the-dark unidentified masses being passed but I don't spot anything unusual. It was just waste. And lots of it.
Diane says the health benefits are numerous and colonic hydrotherapy can help with IBS, headaches, fatigue, bloating and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
My actual treatment takes around 45 minutes and during this time an incredible 60 litres of water travels through my colon.
"If you eat three times a day you should be going to the toilet three times a day but that would be unusual for most people," Diane says.
"Colonic hydrotherapy can help regulate your bowels because the water softens the waste. When I squeeze the pipe, the water stretches your bowel muscles and adds tone. This will help you go to the toilet more often."
Diane, who had been a state registered nurse for 34 years before training in colonic hydrotherapy, has built up quite an army of fans. Her reviews (undoctored) on the Free Index website are impressive, with many saying they felt apprehensive but were soon put at ease by Diane's friendly and professional manner.
"I see all sorts of different people - everybody and anybody, men and women from all walks of life," Diane tells me.
"I have someone who comes to me who is aged 18 and I also see an 84-year-old. But what they all have in common is the desire to be healthy. They're looking after their bodies."
At the end of my session I feel far less bloated and my stomach looks smaller. I jump on the scales and I've lost three pounds. A weight loss isn't guaranteed though, as clients can sometimes temporarily put on weight because of the body's absorption of water.
But for me, the psychological effects far outweigh the physical ones - the thought of all that horrible old waste leaving my body is amazing. I feel euphoric and pleased to have, for want of a better phrase, taken the plunge.
To find out more, visit Diane's website www.colonic-therapy.co.uk or call her on 0117 244 3537.

Global Food Contact: Coronavirus Update. For more information click here
Ron offers his perspectives on food packaging safety and supply of information in the supply chain.
You are primarily responsible for the Safety and Regulatory Compliance assessments of food contact materials at Wrigley, have you seen any changes in recent years in the level of scrutiny applied to these assessments?
Absolutely. I would also say not just more scrutiny, but there is a growing awareness of the need and purpose of these evaluations. We are getting inquiries from our customers as well as consumers. The desire for more transparency in the supply chain continues to grow.
What level of contact do you have with the suppliers of your packaging materials? Do you find that the information they supply is sufficient for you to understand to what extent these materials comply with FDA guidance?
I interact directly with our suppliers when evaluating their packaging materials. Most suppliers are very willing to help, but in many cases lack the expertise to do so without assistance. I do find that with help most suppliers are able to provide what we need to ensure both the safety and regulatory compliance of their packaging materials.
Do you feel there is a sufficient level of communication across the supply chain and a good level of sharing of ideas and challenges in the food contact arena? If not, how do you think this could best be addressed?
From my perspective this is one of the major gaps in the Supply Chain. Too often the companies that manufacture packaging material components (films, adhesives, inks, etc) are not aware of the end use and this can create problems for the Brand Owner. Sharing ideas and challenges across the supply chain would lead to innovative solutions that would benefit all involved. Forums such as the Food Contact Conferences are good opportunities to share information, but there needs to be more effort between the companies involved to ensure that all of the requirements are understood by all.
Do you see any imminent changes on the horizon for the regulation of food contact materials? What changes if any would you call for?
I would not say that I see imminent changes in the regulation of food contact materials, but I definitely see an increase in demand on CPGs to be more aware of the safety of their food contact materials. This is going to lead to the insistence of more transparency in the supply chain and for the suppliers to take a more active role in ensuring safety and compliance of their packaging materials.
If you had 5 minutes with an FDA legislator what would you ask them?
Are there any plans to implement a system similar to the Declaration of Compliance System in Europe? Do they feel that there would be any value in a mandated system of sharing information across the supply chain?
Lastly, what are you looking forward to about joining as speaker at this year's conference?
First, I always look forward to interacting with the large variety of representatives from across the supply chain, as well as the legal and regulatory delegates that attend. Hearing the different perspectives that everyone brings helps in understanding the challenges that we all face in the area of food contact. In terms of speaking, I hope to be able to help others understand the challenges facing the Brand Owners as well as sharing our best practices in the area of determining the safety and compliance of the food contact materials that we use.

A Danish scientist captured a stunning shot of a sled dog team traveling over melting sea ice in North West Greenland to retrieve meteorological instruments before they sank into the sea.
The sea ice melt started earlier than expected this year in April, instead of the normal time frame of June through August.

Climate scientist Zack Labe told USA Today the Arctic is experiencing above average temperatures this year and that they were 40 degrees above average last week in Greenland.
Researcher Rasmus Tonboe with the Danish Meteorological Institute said the phenomenon that makes it look like the dogs are walking on water has to do with the unusually warm weather.
"Rapid melt and sea ice with low permeability and few cracks leaves the melt water on top," Tonboe said in a social media post.

G. Boston of Holly Garth, Tarleton Circa 1908
Earlier this month (Jan 2014) a rather battered little autograph book arrived on the doormat.
It had been posted to the website by Hazel Adam from Manchester.
The book is in the name of G. H. Boston who, at the time, lived at 'Holly Garth' in Tarleton with the first entries being dated 1908.
Hazel originally purchased the book from Bygone Times some time around 1994 and has been trying to make contact with descendants of the families named in the book to no avail.
As was typical in the early 20th Century, autograph books were less for collecting celebrity signatures but were exchanged among friends, family, colleagues, and classmates to fill with poems, drawings, personal messages, small pieces of verse, and other mementos.
Some of the entries from the book:
May Rimmer. Nov 1908
F. Boston Dec 1908
Nelly Moss March 26th 1909
Mirriam Tiffin, Back Lane, Hesketh Bank
Elaine Jenkins, New Brighton, July 19th 1909
Jas Rimmer, May 10th 1910
T. H. Bryant June 25th 1909
Martha Moss, May 31st 1909
M. S. Sowerby, 30th July 1909
Thomas Sowerby, August 30th 1909
Rob Young 20th August 1909
Belle Moss 14th September 1910
Lawrence Jenkins
G. J. Rimmer 6th December 1927
John B. Hardy 30th September 1912
May Rimmer 31st September 1910
A Robinson, Tarleton, 10th March 1913
Jane Rimmer May 4th 1910
Minnie Pibbs 24th July 1914
Daisy 22nd August 1913
Lily Rimmer, April 1910
Eugenie Rimmer, April 1910
A Midgley, 23rd August 1914
M Boston, 27th March 1911
M. A. Rimmer, May 5th 1910
Please email the editor if you believe any of the above people are a relative or are of interest to your family history research.
If you have any anecdotes or information that you could add to this article we would love to hear from you.
Email 30th January 2014: The book on the website belonged to my great-grandparents, my mother's grandparents, who lived at that address on Hesketh Lane. Her maiden name was Rimmer and her mother's maiden name was Boston. I recognise quite a number of great-aunts and great-uncles on that list. I would be very interested to see the book, as would my mother and other family members. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Ruth Baybutt.
Ruth collected the book that same evening with a view to showing it her mother the day after.
Email 7th February 2014: The initials in the cover of the book are G.F., which stood for Gladys Frances Boston, my grandmother. She would have been in her teens in 1908 and so was still living in the family home, Holly Garth, prior to her marriage to James Rimmer.
The only 2 remaining grandchildren of Gladys Frances' parents are my mother, May Cookson [nee Rimmer] and Jean Dunn [nee Boston]. Many in our two villages will remember Mrs. Dunn as she taught at Tarleton Council School, as it was then known, on Hesketh Lane and then moved to Tarleton High School when that opened. She now lives in the Midlands near her daughter.
There is an entry in the book, a 'ditty' about the weather, by M. Boston, who we assume would be Montague, who later became Mrs. Dunn's father.
Written in 1911. Nothing's changed then!
Email 15th February 2014: Thankyou so much for all your help. I never thought it would find its rightful owners so quickly. I have contacted Ruth and Alan by email and am so glad that they really appreciate this lovely little book. I have composed a little ditti of my own that you can close the website article down with:

You know those two hit-and-run charges for Amanda Bynes? She pleads Not Guilty. (Deep breath.) That's right, not guilty. Didn't do it. Not her. Guilty she is not! She rejects those charges, your honor.
Oh Amanda Bynes. OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT GUILTY. Right? I mean, those little swipes never even happened. They're all just part of some parallel universe you clearly do not inhabit. It's the Matrix, man! We're all stuck in the Matrix, and the reality is that Amanda is a perfectly competent driver. I just don't understand why you all don't see this like Amanda does! It makes so much sense.
No, but seriously, I am not at all surprised. The kind of woman who would swipe another car, pretend nothing had happened, and just keep on driving is never going to take responsibility for her actions. That's the very nature of a hit-and-run. You pretend nothing happened and just keep driving. Maybe no one saw and you'll get away with it!
And look how Amanda's been driving since those two incidents. She faces a DUI charge and driving without a license charge -- they took her license away and she kept on living like that hadn't happened, either. It takes a deep commitment to denial to do that.
But that's at the root of Amanda's troubles: Deep, deep denial. She's having a tough time facing reality, and it's just going to get worse for her before anything gets better. Obviously Amanda has the right to prove her innocence in these charges. All four of them. But she can't keep running from her actions forever.
Do you think a jury will ultimately find Amanda Bynes guilty of the hit-and-run charges?
